Wandering and Wondering (Larten/Markise)

[Markise Sterling]

Markise was still in shock over everything that had happened between him and Larten. That first day had been... memorable, to say the least, and the next night... well, Larten had been right, he'd gotten in without trouble.

But it was strange only meeting at night. Markise had been in a few relationships, and all of them had been hidden. But they'd still met during the day, just as friends. It was everything else that was kept behind locked doors. Markise knew how to do this without getting caught.

Right now, he was wandering the corridors after the last class of the day, and before supper. He wondered if he'd run into anyone he knew...

[Larten Stopel]

Larten was walking with some of his friends when he saw Markise. " Hey guys..I forgot my book in class. Yea i'll see you in the common room " he said as they said goodbye. He made sure they were gone and then went up to Markise from behind. He put his hands around his waist and kissed his neck " Hey babe " he said.

[Markise Sterling]

For a second, every muscle in Markise's body had tensed in shock. Then he recognized the feel of Larten's arms and the sound of his voice. His lips curved into a slow smile, and for a moment he closed his eyes, bringing his own hands over Larten's. "Someone might see us," he murmured. "We should find an empty classroom or something." Unfortunately, they were too close to the used corridors for one to be very close.

[Larten Stopel]

Larten looked around and saw a door. He opened it to a unused classroom. He led Markise in here and kissed him " I missed you " he said. " Hows been your day " he asked in between kisses.

[Markise Sterling]

"Mm, it's been cold," Markise murmured, bringing his lips gladly to Larten's. He paused just long enough to flick his wand at the door, locking it thoroughly, then tucked his wand away again and slid his arms up around the back of Larten's neck. "I'm glad I'm far enough ahead in potions that I didn't need to take it this term," he said absently. It would be terribly awkward being stuck with Larten's dad for an hour a day. "I'm crap at charms, though." His last school's Charms and DADA programs had been terrible. Markise didn't dwell on that now. He was too busy teasing at Larten's full lips.

[Larten Stopel]

" I can tutor you if you want " he said kissing him. He sat down on a desk while kissing him. " I am good in both of those classes." he said. He leaned on the desk while he was kissing Markise. " God your beautiful and wonderful " he said kissing him .

[Markise Sterling]

Markise soaked up the compliments, letting them buoy him and add to everything else. "You can tutor me later," he said, pressing forward against Larten. They had much more immediate needs than Markise's grades. "So... strong," Markise murmured, his hands moving over Larten's muscles. Not that Markise was weak, per se, but his strengths were in balance and flexibility.

[Larten Stopel]

Larten smiled and kissed him. He felt Markise's body. " Your like a god.." he said. He pulled off Markises shirt and kissed his abs. He felt his chest and then stood back up and kissed him. He put his arms around Markise's waist while he kissed.

[Markise Sterling]

Markise gave a low chuckle, though he was extremely pleased to hear that. "Your own personal Adonis, hm?" he teased, reaching for Larten's shirt now. "I'm not really your first, am I?" he asked. Larten sure seemed to know what he was doing, and it was hard to believe. Markise didn't count girls.

[Larten Stopel]

Larten nodded " You are my first boy.." he said with a smile as he took of his shirt. His hands went over his body. He then went for his pants...

Larten kissed Markise as he put back on his cloths and fixing his hair and wiping the sweat from his forehead. " That feels good after a long day " he said grinning. He kissed him " You wanna go somewhere or something ?" he asked .

[Markise Sterling]

Markise finished straightening his shirt, and his lips curved into a grin that mirrored Larten's. He was in complete agreement about that being a good way to close off the school day. Now there was nothing but relaxation to begin their free time with. "I'd love to go somewhere," Markise said, slipping his arms around Larten's waist and kissing him back. "What do you have in mind?" He was sure that he'd be fine with anything Larten came up with.

[Larten Stopel]

Larten sighed and looked down at the floor trying to think about where to go. Larten looked out a window and into the look. " Swimming ! " he said with a smile. " Skinny Dipping !" he added.

[Markise Sterling]

Markise chuckled again at that. Larten had such a one-track mind most of the time, not that he really minded. Swimming, though... Markise looked out the window as well. It wasn't quite spring yet, but the weather had warmed up, and the lake was far too large for even winter to change the temperature of it enough to matter. "Let's do it," he said, eyes brightening. This would be a good way to shove the last of his memories of Ariel out of his mind.

[Larten Stopel]

Larten smiled and unlocked the door with his wand and ran down the empty corridors. He exited the castle with Markise behind him. He smiled at Markise and ran down to the lake. " Come on ! " he said as he got to the shore and he took off his cloths. " Stop staring ! " he said with a grin.

[Markise Sterling]

Markise laughed as he ran after Larten, for the world looking like any two guys taking advantage of the weather to horse around. Well, until they'd reached a place on the shore that was far enough out of the way and close enough to the treeline that they wouldn't be caught. Markise's eyes glittered with the fun of it all, and he looked Larten over. "How am I supposed to stop staring at all that?" he asked, and with one glance around to be sure they were well and truly alone, started stripping off his own clothes.
