AU week - telling the tale.

[thewidewideworld]

Sin takes Athelstan's hand and leads him through a door and then another, and up a narrow flight of stairs that seem to be hidden in the walls. To another door that looks like it should be locked but isn't. (Or isn't locked anymore.)

The journey leads them into the roof and a flatish section of tiles where they can sit and look out over the lake, protected from the breeze.

"Come, sit with me." Sin strolls across the tiles, sure as a mountain goat till he finds a good spot to sit with their backs against a chimney.

Before they fall asleep, however, there is a noise at the door, and Ragnar's voice calling softly, "Hello?"

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan blinks out of a drowse and looks uncertainly at the door, not quite awake.

"Ragnar?"

[thewidewideworld]

Sin opens one eye a crack. "Shall we let him join us?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Can I come in or is it a bad moment?" Ragnar asks.

[athelstanthescribe]

"...you can come in", Athelstan decides after a moment, snug in the covers.

[thewidewideworld]

Sin smiles and kisses Athelstan's ear. He shimmies to the far edge of the bed, pulling Athelstan with him to make room for Ragnar to sit. Or lay.

He shoots Ragnar a sleepy grin, unashamedly snuggled around Athelstan. "Hello you."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Hey, you two," Ragnar says, smiling at them. He kicks off his boots and takes off his shirt, then simply lies down in the place Sinric made for him, and puts his arm around them both.

"Looks like Sin popped your cherry from the other side, too, sweetie," he murmurs into Athelstan's ear; and then, he kisses each of them in turn.

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan blushes red, but doesn't deny it.

[thewidewideworld]

"Entirely my fault." Sin accepts the kiss without shame. "I begged him."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar next kisses Athelstan's blushing cheek.

"The you know it's as good to be inside Sin as it is for you to have me inside you," he says. "When we meet again, we should try both at the same time."

[athelstanthescribe]

He blinks at that and stammers something completely incoherent.

[thewidewideworld]

"Stop teasing your lover, Ragnar. You have him all flustered." Sin coos, cuddling Athelstan close.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar chuckles, and leans in to kiss Athelstan deeply.

"It's not teasing," he says. "It can happen -- my cock inside you moving in rhythm with your cock inside Sin, me thrusting at your sweet spot and you at his. I'll reach around and tease his pretty rubies, and we've got a perfect circle."

[athelstanthescribe]

"Well." He clears his throat. "If... if you both want me together..."

[thewidewideworld]

"If you want it." Sin corrects gently. "I've already bullied you into into this, we can move on to sharing the three of us when and if you're ready."

He flicks a grin at Ragnar. "And I might even put on my special jewellery for that." His nipples are currently naked, the gold shields tucked in a pocket somewhere safe."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar grins, and bends to lick over those nipples, just playfully and briefly, before kissing flustered Athelstan again.

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan is still trying to gather his thoughts, and without realising it, holding the covers over himself like a shield even as he kisses Ragnar back.

[thewidewideworld]

Sin gasps sharply, arching his back a little. He slaps Ragnar's arm lightly. "Don't start something you don't plan to finish."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar pulls back, grinning at Sinric. But he turns to Athelstan to kiss him again. "Is it all too much for you?" he asks quietly.

He doesn't want his sweet young lover being culture-shocked by their antics.

[athelstanthescribe]

"Is it okay", he says just as quietly, "if I just watch? This time?"

[thewidewideworld]

"We don't have to do anything if you're not ready, lovely Athelstan. This horny old goat and I can wait if you like."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"You want to watch Sinric and me?" Ragnar asks, raising an eyebrow at Sinric, to see if he's really up for it, or if he was only teasing

[athelstanthescribe]

"I'm not - ready to join you." His hands are twisting nervously in the blanket, afraid of disappointing them but knowing his limits. "But I'll stay."

[thewidewideworld]

Sin's up for almost anything and his smile says that very clearly.

He turns to Athelstan and cups his cheek softly. "You don't have to do anything you're not ready for. And Ragnar and I can go if you want us to, or just curl up with you and sleep. But if you want to want, you are most welcome to."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"You say what you want, sweetie, and I'll prove I'm not really a randy goat," Ragnar says.
