OOM: Cubefall 2016 -- for Sinric

[cook_the_rude]

 Hannibal's room is almost unchanged -- apart from the pictures, which are mostly paintings of exotic beaches today, giving the room a more colourful and slightly more cheerful air than usual.

Hannibal opens the door, stands aside, and smiles. "And this time," 'she' says, "we won't even offend Noriko -- this body is wholly my own."

Comments

[cook_the_rude]

"Thank you," she says softly.

[thewidewideworld]

He draws back just enough to look her in the eye, questioningly, unsure what it is she's thanking him for.

[cook_the_rude]

"For being wonderful," Hannibal says. "For giving me this experience."

[thewidewideworld]

"Thank you for allowing me to share it with you. It's a new feeling for me too." He smiles, brushing light fingers through her hair.

[cook_the_rude]

"It is good to know we can look to each other for experiments and experiences," Hannibal says. "Few things are too strange."

[thewidewideworld]

"I trust you; heart, body and spirit." Sinric promises, "And strange is a relative term here."

He kisses her slowly. "Let me clean us both so we can rest a while?"

[cook_the_rude]

"Yes," she says. "That is a good idea, Sinric."

She smiles at him, exhausted and grateful.

[thewidewideworld]

"Stay here. I will return." He slips into the bathroom, cleansing himself swiftly and returns with a bowl of hot water and a cloth.

He washes her with almost ritual care, gentle and worshiping.

[cook_the_rude]

"You make me feel so treasured," she murmurs. "Worshipped, almost."

[thewidewideworld]

"Because you are both." Sinric smiles, kissing the turns of her ankle lightly as he rinses the cloth. "And you have done the same for me, many times."

[cook_the_rude]

She closes her eyes and sighs with simple animal pleasure, like a pampered cat.

[thewidewideworld]

He kisses playfully between the gentle stokes of the cloth.

His job done, he sets the bowl aside and lays down next to her, arms open to her.

[cook_the_rude]

She snuggles close, seeking the warmth, and closes her eyes.
