slipping away with Ragnar

[thewidewideworld]

{From here}

Sinric leads Ragnar into the bathrooms, glancing around to see if anyone is around before slipping into one of the stalls and closing the door behind them.

"Do you want me to paint your prick with my lips or lift my skirts and take me standing?" He asks with a list-filled purr.

"Talk like that you're tempting me to find company of my own this evening." Jay grins.

Sinric seems to stiffen a moment as if expecting the man to ask to join them but them relaxes.

"That won't take you long," Ragnar says. "We'll keep our fingers crossed. Unless we're crossing other things."

[runningred]

Jay chuckles. "One of the great things about this place - it never takes long to find enjoyable company."

Sinric cocks his head. "You have lovers here? If it is not too impertinent a question."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Yes, tell us all," Ragnar grins, joining in with Sinric's curiosity.

[runningred]

Jay gives him a playful grin. "A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell but yes, I've been very fortunate here. There are a lot of good people here."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"There are!" Ragnar says, grinning widely as he kisses Sinric's cheek.

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric giggles warmly, his cheeks flushing a little. "I too have been very fortunate."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"We do our best," Ragnar says.

[runningred]

"And it seems to work perfectly for you." Jay smiles. "I've seen a lot of open relationships here, but you guys seem to have a good balance."

Sinric looks a little startled. "You have seem us?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"And Athelstan?" Ragnar says, sounding almost hopeful.

[runningred]

"It's hard not to, Sinric." Jay shakes his head. "You're very beautiful. People tend to notice you and be jealous of whoever has your attention. I can't say I've spoken to Athelstan but I know of him. And yes, I've often noticed the pair of you together."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"We're..." Ragnar says. "All three of us, but the bar doesn't let Athelstan and me come at the same time right now."

[runningred]

"Yeah, I got the feeling it might be something like that. I'm sorry." Jay nods, looking to Sinric. "It must be hard, acting as emissary between your lovers."

Sinric demurs, lowering his eyes. "If it is all the comfort I can give, then I give it gladly."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"And I'm very glad I still get to hear from Athelstan, whom I love and miss very much," Ragnar says.

[runningred]

Jay watches as Sinric cuddles up to Ragnar, comforting him with a soft kiss. It might seen odd to other people, even a little unfair but he can see they're all getting the love they need.

He lets them share a moment in silence, munching on another slice.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar leans into Sinric for a long moment before bracing himself and reaching for the beer again.

[runningred]

"So have you worked out what sorts of motorbike you want?" Jay asks, shifting the focus. "Where did you plan to ride it?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"I can only ride it here," Ragnar says, "so it needs to be one that's good for rough terrain, not smooth roads; and it should be one where another person can ride pillion behind me. I want to give rides to my friends!"

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric looks up with delight and surprise. The idea of riding with Ragnar had never occurred to him.

Jay grins. "A good stable dirt bike then. With plenty of pillion room. Think I can do that. And a couple of spare jackets and helmets for your friends."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Yes, please," Ragnar says. "For Sinric, for Athelstan, and a small one for Gyda, too."

[runningred]

"I've met Gyda. She's one of the Milli-scouts. She's smart and brave. She's a good kid."

Sinric gives Ragnar a smile. "She takes after her father."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"I am proud of her," Ragnar says, "and so very glad that she is here, and I can still be her father."

[runningred]

"You should be." Jay smiles and finished off his slice. "Feel like heading down to the workshop?"

"Very gladly." Sinric nods, taking a small sip of his ale and setting it aside. He hasn't drunk much but then he rarely does with ale. "If you are ready, Ragnar?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"I am," Ragnar says, finishing his beer. He leans over to kiss Sinric again, then stands.

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric sticks close to Ragnar's side, not so much shy as just a little clingy as they head down to the garage. The lift always makes him nervous.

Jay's workshop has grown considerably since Ragnar stole a bike, even since he was last down the sing to the babies.

The canvas walls have been moved to take up a space three times the size. One half of it dominated by a glowing blue concaved structure, covered in niches the size of adult drones. Not unlike the inside of a bee hive. It has a very organic feel for something made of plastic, glass and metal.
