Precious Company

He smirked, knowing he had managed to somewhat fool his friend. He waited until Damon had started to come closer to him, where he would then raise his arms and allow Damon to lift the nightgown up. He knew he was having feelings toward Damon, but there was also Jacob, so in a way, he was kind of torn between the two of them. Not only that, but Damon was also married to Rebekah, and Nako just didn’t understand how Jacob would really feel about him. But he didn’t want to think about Jacob nor Rebekah, so pushed them to the back of his mind as he felt the nightgown go over his head, chuckling lightly. “You’re really handsome,” he said as he reached for the bottom of Damon’s nightgown now.

Damon lifted the nightgown off the other, and threw it behind him. He wasn't sure what it was exactly that he was feeling. He knew he liked Nako-- but he wasn't sure if it was just a friend or more. But on the other hand, he was supposed to be just friends with Jacob and his feelings were more than that. And on top o fit all, he had Rebekah, that he knew he loved, but he couldn't get close to her. Deep down he was hurting, but he pushed the hurt aside. "I'm not handsome I mean I know I'm not ugly-- but--" He lifted his arms and waited for his shirt to be lifted off from his body.

Nako only rolled his eyes and shook his head at Damon. The young fellow was indeed handsome in Nako’s eyes, and so he wouldn’t let the other say otherwise. “Shush, you are handsome and you know it.” He stuck out his tongue playfully as he started to lift up Damon’s nightgown and gently pulled it over his friend’s head being careful with the bandage. Now that both young men were in their boxer shorts, things got a little awkward for a moment. But then Nako made it feel less awkward by remembering that they had been completely naked, and hugging each other, so it wasn’t anything new. He just sat there examining his friend from head to toe, admiring the piece of art that was sitting before him. Indeed, he was a fine piece of art, and Nako was happy to have him for the night. He blushed a little when he realized he must’ve looked like he had been staring, and reached up to cover part of his face as he scoffed out of amusement. “Sorry… I didn’t mean to stare.” He figured now, at this point, he would let Damon start the kissing if he wanted, even guiding him along the way if that was necessary.

[Sly Cooper]

Damon looked up at Nako, watching him. He got a familiar look on his face, and indeed it was comforting to have. "It's fine-- It happens--" He sat up and came close to his companion. He rubbed his nose against the tip of the other's and brushed his lips against the other's, but he didn't kiss, instead he teased. He grabbed Nako's hands and guided them up his stomach and up to his chest where he left them. His heart was pounding and his hands were shaking, but he ignored his nervousness, and went on. Finally, he placed a soft kiss on the other young man's lips, and pulled him in by his waist.

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Nako smirked, having the idea that others would admire Damon just like he did, but that was only a funny thought and nothing serious. He found his friend’s nose brushing against his own, followed by the lips, but a kiss wasn’t made, yet. Instead, his hands were guided along his friend’s body, until they rested on the chest. Soon, a kiss was made, and then he watched as his friend laid back, Damon’s hands gripping Nako’s waist and attempting to pull him towards the other. Nako obeyed happily, shifting his position to make it more comfortable for the twosome, and feeling skin against skin, he started to try and pry his friend’s mouth open with his own tongue. At this point, he would’ve grabbed the white thick blanket and toss it over them. At this point, they would only just be kissing, and caressing each other's skin. Nothing mature, of course.

Upon stopping, sometime after, Damon laid wide awake in the wee hours of the night like he often times would. His insomnia was not at all forgiving. And when he would lay awake his mind would go to work. And so it did. But when his mind went free, he began to think of the things he pushed aside, and suddenly the guilt set in. But he kept it inside instead of bothering his new friend with it. He just stared at the ceiling for hours, lost in thought.

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

After what seemed like an hour, although to Nako it seemed it had gone on longer, they had ceased their kissing. Nako had moved to the side of his friend now, laying on his stomach while watching Damon. He was certainly examining his friend’s body, but mostly his eyes were focused on the face that he thought was cute, or maybe actually adorable. But he didn’t state his opinion out loud, as he felt that his comrade would only argue with him about such comments. His eyelids were starting to feel asleep as the hours slowly passed. Quickly, the teenager stood up and headed over to the candles, blowing out all but the one close by the clubhouse. He moved the cardboard away from the window so that the moon would shine into the attic, and then blew out the last candle after he had settled in the clubhouse. He looked at Damon and saw that his eyes weren’t closing, and smiled. He was a little concerned, but he could understand his friend staying awake. It was probably all new to him, spending the night and all, and what they had just done, but he knew that it wasn’t really true. Laying on his side now, he just watched Damon for a little bit longer before nudging him in the shoulder. But he didn’t say anything, instead he just inched closer to his friend, placing a hand on his chest and then his head on Damon’s shoulder. Quickly, Nako picked his head up long enough to kiss Damon once more before resting it back on the shoulder. “Good night, handsome,” he whispered softly, hoping that the quiet and calm, and his warm touch, could somehow help Damon to sleep.

[Sly Cooper]

Damon watched Nako blow out all of the candles, and the room dimmed. When he had come back he kissed him and wished him goodnight. "G'night--"Damon whispered softly. He examined the other young man for a while, an his mind slowed, but then when he closed his eyes ready to fall asleep, it began to race again. His eyes shot open, but he stayed still, hoping not to disturb Nako whether he was sleeping or not.

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Although Damon hadn’t fallen entirely asleep, Nako had, by the lullaby of Damon’s heart beating mixed with the breathing movement of his friend’s chest. He shifted in his sleep to make himself more comfortable, gratefully for the mattress beneath them, but had actually inched himself closer to his friend so that their bodies would basically be pressing, and had moved his arm down to Damon’s waist, wrapping it around tightly as if his friend had become a life-size teddy bear overnight.

[Sly Cooper]

By the time morning had come, Damon had got about an hour and half sleep. Needless to say he was tired, but, like his mind, he was restless. He would cradle Nako and cling to him for warmth. Once the sun had come up, he got out of bed and stretched his legs. He was a bit stiff from laying still for so many hours. He tried to be quiet as to not wake Nako. He yawned, began to walk toward the window, when he tripped and fell on his face. "Ow--"

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

The sound of Damon’s falling against the floor had stirred Nako awake. His eyes opened to find Damon gone from the mattress, but as he sat up and looked around, he spotted his friend laying by the window, and only rolled his eyes at the clumsy foolishness of his friend. He stood up from the mattress, seeing as how light was starting to break into the attic through the window, although it was diffused by the sheet hanging there, and bent down to examine Damon carefully. “You okay?” He asked calmly, before placing a hand on Damon’s back and then lending his other hand, “Come with me,” he said in a soothing voice, wanting to lead Damon back to the mattress. He wasn’t going to go back to sleep, he had plenty of it the night before. But what he didn’t have plenty of, he felt, was kissing.

[Sly Cooper]

"Yeah, I'm fine--" Damon rolled his eyes at his own clumsiness, and took Nako's hand. Part of his problem was his lack of sleep. He was slightly dizzy and disoriented, and on top of that he was cold, which is why he got out of bed in the first place, before getting distracted. "Hey-- before we lay back down-- can I have a sweater?" he shivered, and rubbed the goosebumps off his arms. "I'm cold--"

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Nako was glad that his friend was okay, and managed to have led him to the mattress. He was already starting to sit down in the middle of it when his friend had started talking, asking for a sweater. He froze, looking at Damon from head to toe but with a smile, and put a finger up to his lips, thinking. He eyed the thick blanket next to him that would certainly add some warmth, even then with the aid of his own body. He knew Damon’s body was cold, he had felt it from time to time but had pretty much gotten used to it. “Aw… We can warm you up, c’mon,” he said as he reached for Damon’s hands, wanting to pull him back to the mattress, attempting to lay back himself.

[Sly Cooper]

Damon let himself be pulled down. "But it's really cold-- and you're not a human heater like--" he stopped there. He chuckled at Nako's persistence and reassurance. Once on the bed, he squirmed and wiggled around getting himself comfortable, and hopefully warm. "Why is it so bloody cold?" He clinged to the other for warmth, "It's nowhere near the cold season-- and--" he shivered again. "And-- I wish it would rain. I like the rain. I used to play in it with my friends. We would be drenched from head to toe-- and gramma would get really mad-- but it was worth it."

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Nako watched as Damon shifted into a position that wasn’t exactly what the teenager had in mind. He listened as his friend seemed to babble away, smirking as he was soon clung to because of it supposedly being cold in the attic. He could understand, though, but he didn’t really care right now. He did wish it would rain, and so far the morning was looking dark. He glanced out the window, seeing through the sheet as much as he could, and sure enough there were thick clouds forming in the sky. He reached for Damon’s boxer shorts and tugged, having slid his arm under Damon’s chest, attempting to move him into a position where his friend would be laying on top. If it had worked, he would simply wrap his arms around Damon’s waist but not before throwing the thick blanket over them first. While Damon was babbling, he would’ve started the kissing as an interruption, hoping that Damon would then understand what it was that Nako wanted.
