Getting an O (Castiel/Mari)

[Castiel Catalyst]

Castiel's partner hadn't wanted to work on their assignment yesterday, so it was pushed back until this afternoon. On the chance that it would get pushed back again, or that she just wouldn't show up, he was getting the prep work out of the way himself. So far he'd found a small stack of books on charms, and was discarding anything that didn't mention Diffindo in the index. Oh joy and rapture. Well, he'd get an O on this project one way or another.

[Marius Reed]

Mari had slept well. Really well. But when he'd woken up relatively early compared to what time he went to bed he hadn't been able to get back to sleep. His mind was racing, going back over and over again to the night before, wondering if it had really actually happened. Yesterday, Castiel had said he would be in the Library, which wasn't surprising, and Mari went straight there. When he saw his friend he broke into an almost trot, which would have earned him a glare if he'd been caught.

"Good morning, Kurai-Kun," he said, coming up behind his friend and wrapping him in a tight hug. Yes, he was still in a good mood, how could he not be? "I'm here to give you a break from boring school work."

[Castiel Catalyst]

Castiel smiled at that hug, and gladly pushed aside the book he'd been looking at. He wrapped his arms around Mari's and tilted his head back to look at him. "You look like the kneazle who's been in the cream," he observed. Not that he minded at all. He moved to steal a kiss.

[Marius Reed]

Cream. Mari grinned as he turned his head away from the attempted kiss. "Nope, sorry, can't," he said, then pulled away to sit next to Castiel. "I definitely almost fell asleep with Indigo on the couch last night." He wished he could have, but it probably wouldn't have been good to sleep when they would have been found in the morning by their house mates.

[Castiel Catalyst]

Castiel gave Mari a calculating look. "Working on your project?" he asked innocently. Considering how stressed and distant the two had been only yesterday, he doubted it. They must have made out again. That was the only way Marius could have gone from that insecurity he'd been trying to keep hidden to this.

[Marius Reed]

"Kinda," Mari said. He pulled his feet into his chair and eyed Castiel, purposefully dragging it out for a minute or two. "We worked on the project, we made super big Pocky, which was cool. He was all tense and stuff, but eventually I just kinda made him talk. It was weird, but it was easier for him to write it out? So we did that, and then I kissed him, and then we ended up on the couch."

[Castiel Catalyst]

"So it was definitely a kiss kiss," Castiel said. Why did he get the feeling that there was more to this story? Marius was being far too casual all of a sudden. The last time he'd been grinning through the entire story. "Did he touch you here again?" Castiel asked, reaching to poke Mari lightly. "You know you're gonna tell me."

[Marius Reed]

Mari laughed and bit his lip. "It was a big kiss," he said. "He touched me lots of places." He pretty much hadn't said no to anything Indigo wanted to try, and Indigo had done the same. It had definitely led to a lot of good dreams that night. Really good dreams. "And he didn't freak out after we stopped." That was an improvement.

[Castiel Catalyst]

"That's good," Castiel said. Lots of places. He wondered, and it showed in the slight arch of one dark brow as Castiel looked at his friend. All at once he decided he needed more specific questions. "Over the clothes or under?" he asked first. He'd get this narrowed down somehow.

[Marius Reed]

"Over. I was in my pajamas, he was in regular clothes, but his hoodie and shoes came off," Mari said. He couldn't help that he was rather enjoying himself right now. A grin settled itself on his face and he reached up to twirl a bit of his hair. "We didn't start out at the couch, either, we were in a different part of the room."

[Castiel Catalyst]

"Mhm," Castiel hummed. He'd guessed at that much just by how Marius had phrased it before. Ending up on a couch definitely implied that they'd been elsewhere. He continued to look at Mari as though he could read his mind. He couldn't, but sooner or later either he'd ask the right question or Mari would crack.

Castiel's eyes widened slightly. "Wait... were you horizontal on the couch?" he asked. Was that it?

[Marius Reed]

Mari's teeth found his lip again and he nodded. "Oh yeah," he said. "Have I mentioned how good looking he is? Because he's really hot. Especially when I've got him laid down on the couch." And his hands are on my butt. And there was a fireplace crackling a few feet away. If possible, his grin widened further.

[Castiel Catalyst]

Castiel's eyes widened further, and his lips spread into a disbelieving grin. "Shut up!" he exclaimed, trying hard to keep his voice down. He gave Mari's shoulder a teasing push. "Oh my God, tell me more. What happened?" Castiel was nearly bouncing in his seat now just listening to this, and he realized again just how much he missed having Cheyenne around. And Mari hadn't kissed him! Castiel's lips parted. "Are you going out?!"

[Marius Reed]

"You could say that. He wants it kept quiet, though, so, yeah," Mari said. Castiel would know what he meant, he didn't need to tell him not to spread it around. He sighed happily. "He's a really good kisser, has a tongue ring and that's pretty cool. When we were done we just laid there for I dunno how long, it was really nice." He didn't remember ever laying with someone so comfortably, except maybe Castiel.

[Castiel Catalyst]

"You got off!" That was the second time Mari had said something about being done or stopping, and though that didn't mean anything on its own, it just seemed to fit. He put on a wicked little grin. "Welcome to second base, Kawaii-Kun," he teased. No, he wouldn't say anything to anyone, but that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy it.
