Ariel sighed heavily and stared at Markise for a few long seconds, silently asking why in the world he needed to stand up, there was plenty of time before Saturday that they could do measurements. "Fine," he sighed as he pulled himself up and went over to Markise. His eyes trailed slowly over Markise's body, then settled on his eyes. "How long will this take?" he asked, somewhat crossly.

Markise's lips curved. "You wouldn't believe how sexy you are when you're pissy, Ariel," he said, bypassing the question completely. Markise started the process of measuring at the top, taking in the width of Ariel's chest first, the lengths of his arms, anything useful. He didn't purposefully dawdle, but he did take his time, letting himself appreciate every visual marvel of Ariel's muscles as he mentally recorded the numbers.

Ariel rolled his eyes and bit back some remark about Markise being good at making him pissy. Truthfully, everyone was good at making him pissy, it wasn't that hard to do, but there was just something about Markise. Probably something to do with how easily he had gotten through Ariel's wall, even if it was only one of the many he had up. "What difference does it make between my waist and my chest, anyway? It's a jacket," he said, glancing down at the tape.

"Maybe I'm just messing with you," Markise suggested. It wasn't true, but if Ariel was going to ask questions he didn't really care about the answer to, then Markise wasn't going to waste his breath. Markise had finished with Ariel's upper body, and though technically he didn't have any plans in the works for pants, he figured he might as well take those measurements, too. Markise slid to his knees, only glancing up at Ariel's face once before moving to measure from his waist to where the hem of his pants would be...if he were wearing any.

"The last I remember, coats don't cover your legs," Ariel pointed out, though he didn't pull away. He looked down at Markise, watching his hands moving. His body had different thoughts about seeing Markise in that position, already linking it to other things. The skin on his legs seemed hypersensitive to each small touch.

"They don't," Markise assured Ariel, continuing his measurements. "You have fabulous legs," he commented, eying them as he brought his hands down to Ariel's ankle. He took more pleasure than he should have out of drawing the measuring tape up the inside of Ariel's leg for his inseam. "I swear I'm really measuring you," he assured him. Not that Markise couldn't think of less traditional uses for his measuring tape, but he wanted Ariel to hold still and let him finish.

Ariel sighed and crossed his arms, not fully believing Markise, but it wasn't like he had anything better to do. "I didn't sign up for getting my legs measured," he said, tilting his head slightly as he watched Markise. His hair fell down around his eyes, creating a barrier of sorts as he let his eyes move, from the hands on his legs up to the shoulder and down Markise's back.

Markise's lips curved softly. "I'm almost done," he said reassuringly. He made good on his words and picked up his wand again, the measuring tape disappearing with a pop. Then Markise stood again, slowly, letting his eyes trail over Ariel's body as he straightened. "You're sexy when you're brooding too," he said, his eyes pausing on those defensively crossed arms. Then he looked up at Ariel beneath his hair, and one hand rose to sweep it lightly back.

"I'm starting to think I'm just sexy," Ariel said, raising an eyebrow, but not unfolding his arms. His eyes glinted, do you really want to boost my ego? He couldn't see any reason Markise would do that willingly, but it certainly seemed that way. You're sexy when you're pissy. You have amazing legs. Of course, Ariel didn't mind.

Markise's teasing smile didn't fade at Ariel's words. Rather, his eyes glittered lightly with amusement. "Sexy as hell," he said, enunciating the words slowly to give Ariel the full effect of the motion of his tongue and lips. "I'd go *~ on you right now if I thought either of us would pay attention to that path in here." But there was a huge difference between being obscured by the water and standing in a clearing by the lake. Just the fact that he'd found Dare here and Ariel had found him was proof enough of that.

Ariel raised his eyebrows at that and pulled his eyes up from Markise's lips, "Remind me again why the hell we're still standing out here anyway?" He was over his bought of jealousy from earlier, and the idea of heading up to that empty classroom seemed like a really good idea. It definitely didn't help that Markise had said it, it only made Ariel's body heat farther.

Markise shrugged and gave Ariel a brief look-over. "I was ready when you reached for your belt." Well, he'd certainly been thinking about it then, at least. Markise turned away from Ariel and bent to pick up his shirt from the top of the stack, shaking it lightly out. He knew he was being a tease right now, but he couldn't help it. Ariel was sexy as hell, and Markise got no end of thrills out of seeing how easily he affected Ariel.

Ariel's eyes widened slightly at that and then narrowed and glinted mischievously as he turned to his own clothes. Then he paused and looked over his shoulder at Markise, his eyes catching on the smooth back, then his eyes flashed and he came up behind Markise, wrapping his arms around his waist from behind and dipping his head to the neck just covered by that blond hair.

Every muscle in Markise's body responded immediately to the unexpected contact. His eyes slipped closed, and he inhaled deeply, forgetting for the moment where they were. He tilted his head slightly away from Ariel, exposing his neck, then opened his eyes again lazily. "What are you doing?" he asked softly, curiously. It was fairly obvious what he was doing now, but now wasn't the time to initiate something, no matter how tempting the idea was.

Ariel peeked over Markise's shoulder and turned them so that he was facing the path. As far as he could tell, it was the only way in to the little clearing without going through a lot of trouble. "I think it's pretty obvious what I'm doing. And you're watching the path," he said, then went back to his previous activity of exploring Markise's neck with lips and tongue. He didn't plan on going farther so long as they were in the open, but they were covered enough for a few minutes.
