Author: Kariki Neroli

Pairing: Edmund/Lex

Warning: None really… Implied sex?

"I hate these bloody things." The younger man sitting on the large bed pouted. His hands were currently pulling at the tight red vest he wore. "It's too tight and looks – and feels – like a corset."

"Corset?" The elder man repeated, going over to his companion and sat down beside him. "And how, may I ask, would you know what a corset feels like?"

The other blushed.

"…It's how I guess a corset would feel…" He amended.

"Right." The other nodded, not believing him. He reached over and toyed with the other's tie. "I don't believe you, Lexy…"

"I hate that name… Eddy." He used the name he knew the other wasn't fond of. "Gambino once had us do the floor show from Rocky Horror…" He muttered. Edmund smirked. "Apparently, he liked the corset idea so much, he had these damned vests designed like one." He pulled at the irritating garment.

"He always had interesting tastes…"

"Hn." Lex scoffed lightly. "I overheard people gossiping about me. There are people out there who thing I'm a girl! A GIRL!" He sighed. "Does anything about me look girly? It's this vest that's doing it!" He pouted. "Man boobs my ass…"

Edmund chuckled and pulled at Lex's tie, drawing the younger man toward him. "Well, I think you have very nice boobs." He smirked and kissed him, stopping the indignant sound that was about to leave his lips. He gently pushed the other onto the bed. "Now let's do something about that corset vest, shall we?" He panted in the other's ear.

Becky giggled, watching the two men feel each other up in the bedroom. She had known Gambino was paranoid but putting security cameras in the casino's hotel rooms was a bit much… not that she was complaining as Lex's corset – ahem- vest went flying across the room. She glanced at the VCR to make sure it was recording.

It never hurt to have blackmail after all.
