rockandrollvampire: (OMG CAN WE)

[personal profile] rockandrollvampire 2021-05-30 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[It's easy to throw aside all pomp and circumstance and focus on the moment at hand when there's warm hands and lips on him. Toby spares a hand to pull it through Dorian's curls as they kiss and uses the other to push both jeans and boxers down and off his hips. The sight is probably an awkward one, but there's absolutely zero care in the vampire about that.

Once the last piece of clothing hits the floor, Toby puts his hands on either side of his boyfriend's neck and draws him into a deep, passionate kiss. Even without needing breath, he feels breathless when they finally part. He locks his gaze with Dorian and pulls the man flush against his chest, not quite reaching for a bite yet, but definitely inching them closer in that direction. When he feels like he can focus on anything that isn't kissing the life from his boyfriend again, he grins up at the man seated over him.]


Ready for the ride of your life, partner?

[That's really bad, but hey, Dorian started it with his act! This is totally fair before he takes them higher.]

Birthday Fanfare

[personal profile] rockandrollvampire 2021-07-20 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
During the several (admittedly on and off) years he and Dorian were together before they were last separated, Toby had never had the chance to enjoy and celebrate his birthday to its absolute fullest. Having a birthday at the height of summer as a vampire meant much of the day was off limits or, at the very least, that going out for his birthday was relegated to a short window at the end of the day. The Nexus has handily taken many of those obstacles out of the equation, leaving the decision of when to start and where to spend his birthday wide open, perhaps to the younger man's dismay.

At precisely 7 AM, well over an hour after the sun's risen, the vampire carefully slides into bed next to his boyfriend and wraps his arms around him. The turn he took about the garden at sunrise was lovely, but now it's time for attention and presents!! And the only one who's going to be bothered for either today is his soulmate.

"Dorian~" he murmurs as he pulls the other man close. "Time to wake up. It's my birthday." To help sweeten the deal, he presses a very excited kiss to his boyfriend's lips. This is definitely enough to get the man to wake up, right?? Whether it is or not, Toby quickly follows that kiss with another peck to the man's cheek. "You owe me presents and an expansion of your riddle."

He's been patient ...enough(?) over the past week, and now he's done with all that! It's not his actual birthday and that means all his whims must be catered to. Well, maybe not all of them, but presents and attention are definitely necessary right now!

That's more awake than he expected from boyfriend, so Toby is mostly happy with this turn of events! He grins brightly as he leans in for another kiss around the inconvenience of Dorian rubbing sleep from his eyes.

"7 AM, darling." A short beat as he pulls the other man closer. "I waited very patiently all morning for you, which means it's well past time for presents."

Come on, boyfriend! Wake up faster!! Needy vampire nerd is needy and wants to know what you were torturing him with for the last month! Don't let sleep hold you back. You know Toby's far more important than sleep anyway.

[personal profile] rockandrollvampire 2021-07-20 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. Toby most definitely not expecting Dorian to coax him into sex this quickly after waking up. The temptation to get up and open his present then come back to bed is very real, but there's also the very real, very warm distraction of boyfriend wrapping around him and kissing his neck right now. God, trying to choose one over the other is damn near impossible right now, which makes him very grateful to have the need to choose taken off the table by an extremely persuasive shift of hips against his own.

It's fine. Presents will come soon enough. They'll just ravage each other once (or twice) and then get started on the rest of their day.

"This first," he moans, wrapping his arms tightly around the other man as he pulls them flush together. He allows Dorian to kiss his neck a few more times (God it feels so damn good right now) before turning his boyfriend's face and pressing their lips together in a passionate kiss. There's an undeniable need behind it all, and Toby's not waiting for longer than another kiss before he starts trying to take off whatever clothes are separating them.

"My choice this morning?" he murmurs between more kisses. "It is my birthday, after all." Not that he's thoughts about what he wants for 'birthday sex' (or round one of 'birthday sex', knowing them), but he's got a few good ideas. All of which are even better with sunlight pouring over them through the open window.

Dorian's quite a ways ahead of Toby right now in terms of thought process, but this is one of those times where that doesn't really matter. They've had sex so many times across their lives together that everything about this is natural, easy in a way that doesn't feel cheap. They might both be extra excited this morning (which is totally understandable, because birthday sex), but that really only means they'll be ready to go that much sooner. Something that's very obvious as Toby presses himself into his boyfriend for their latest kiss.

"Right here. Me inside." There's a more romantic (or at least less rushed) way of saying that, and Toby can't be arsed to care right now. He leans in for another kiss as he reaches between them to prepare his boyfriend. No need to go too hard to start their day; There will be plenty of time for something rougher later. The extra time will also allow Dorian to get the pillows sorted for himself, even if the vampire doesn't let up on kisses to his boyfriend's neck the whole time.

When they're both... mostly settled and completely ready, the older man pauses them long enough to take Dorian's face in his hands for a long, necessary kiss. He ends it with a small nip to the other's bottom lip, then shifts himself into position. As he takes his cock in hand, he meets his boyfriend's gaze with an eager grin.

"Happy birthday to me." With those ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE words out, he lines them up and presses inside as he steals another kiss from the other man. He'll give them both a few seconds to adjust (God, it never stops feeling incredible to be together like this), and then he's immediately starting things up with fast, hard thrusts into his boyfriend's body. There's no time to slow down, and Toby intends to get them both up and over the edge as fast as he possibly can.

It's an eager and excited race to get them both off, and Toby enjoys it all the more with all the open expressions of pleasure his boyfriend is offering. He adds his own as he rests a hand over Dorian's on the man's cock, though his grip falters quickly as they crash into and then over the edge together. In the end, he focuses on keeping them together all the way through, then wrapping himself around the other man as they settle into the afterglow together.

"That," he murmurs between what feel like necessary deep breaths, "was a better start to my birthday than presents." Maybe it's because his mind is high on such a pleasant orgasm, but he's sure he'd say similar later. They can have more deliberate birthday sex later and hit all the buttons they both missed in their rush to ecstasy, and it still won't take away from how amazing this round felt.

Once they're both a little more settled, though, the vampire can't help but keep things moving along. It is his birthday and he very much was promised presents. So, after another particularly lovely kiss, Toby grins at the other man. "So my first present is behind the kimono, yeah?" Why, yes, he totally expects there are more gifts happening once they're out of bed, so of course he's going to ask after whatever Dorian's hidden in the closet like this.

That's all the permission he needs! Grin pulling wider, Toby leans in for a last kiss before leaping out of bed. One foot tangles in the sheets at the edge of the bed ("Dammit, let go! I need my present!"), but it's only a brief disruption to the end goal. The vampire disappears into the closet for a moment, rustling around for a few seconds as he carefully moves Dorian's clothes to obtain his present, then brings the wrapped gift back to the bed. He sets it down gently before flopping down between it and his boyfriend.

"Can I get a hint before I open it?" he laughs. "Does it relate to your riddle?" What should he go in expecting from this gift, boyfriend???
rockandrollvampire: (Only For You)

[personal profile] rockandrollvampire 2021-07-21 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
The gift is large and guitar case-shaped, but what's waiting inside is well outside Toby's expectations. Why think you're getting a new guitar when you have a working, if only somewhat passable, one already?

"So you mean to say there's more to the riddle that I'll get later?" The vampire returns his boyfriend's smile, then tears off the paper separating him from his guitar. His eyes widen eagerly as he frees the case and turns it over to open it, then he gasps in absolute shock. This? This right here in his hands? This is the stuff of dreams to a practiced musician.

"Holy shit." Toby carefully frees the guitar from the case before taking it properly in hand. He looks it over for a long moment without speaking, then gently strums his fingers across the strings. It's slightly out of tune, but it's still beautiful, far better than the cheap thing he bought while they were apart. He works his way through a few scales to check it over properly, then turns the biggest, sappiest grin toward Dorian.

"You-- I can't-- How did you--" Wait, hang on, that's several thoughts at once, and he already knows 'The Nexus' is the answer to "how did you find this." Toby takes a breath to settle the fluttery feeling in his chest, then smiles eagerly. "Dorian, this is incredible. I-- Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it." Honestly, he's not sure anything could.

Being gentle of his gift, he reaches out and rests a hand on the side of the other man's neck. He smiles at Dorian for a long moment, then draws him in for a deep, grateful kiss. "Any requests?" he asks when they part. "After I tune it, I insist on you picking something you'd like to hear." It feels right, and Toby is happy to play anything his soulmate wants right now.

SW Universe: A Forced Return to Normal

[personal profile] rockandrollvampire 2022-02-04 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's been three weeks and four days since the attack on his club, and Toby still hasn't forgiven Dorian for it. All messages related to anything but business go unanswered and all attempts at bribery (they're not gifts when he's this upset, period) are ignored or sent back. He certainly hasn't gone to their shared penthouse, either, and has been grumpily holed up in various suites in his hotel instead.

Dorian's been insufferable in demeanor when they do see each other, too. Every worry Toby brings up or consequence he points out is met with some version of 'it's fine' or 'it'll blow over,' and each time digs a little deeper under his skin. If he'd wanted to work with someone who was dismissive and uncaring about his feelings or opinions on a matter, he'd have lived with his mother in the last few years before her death. He'll pass on getting it from a business partner and lover, thanks.

Today's annoyance is with yet another former regular telling a bartender he's not comfortable coming to a club that was openly attacked by bounty hunters, who were only there because one of the suppliers is a former Sith. This is on top of having to pay a heavy fee to restart a contract with a supplier who had previously been cutting Toby a good deal because of how much product his clubs and bars moved. How Dorian can't see the extent of the damage done is truly mind boggling.

He's not expecting to Dorian to come to the bar today. It's slow enough that Toby's settled on one of the couches in the VIP section, a mostly full glass on a table by his feet as he looks over some accounts and various books. Putting his business knowledge to work is easy enough, but it's been a pain in his ass. Kriffing bounty hunters and their need to make such a mess. Ugh.

When the other man approaches, Toby looks up briefly before returning to his work. "You need something?" he asks, flipping through pages in an inventory list. "I need a few minutes, but I can slot you in after I finish looking these over."

rockandrollvampire: (Bloody Hell)

[personal profile] rockandrollvampire 2022-03-08 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
What's a knocked over (and surprisingly unbroken?) urn between them but another tally to their record of items knocked over for sex? It's not a big deal for Toby to push it aside with one foot as he's herded toward the bed, though he does manage to pick up a straggler on the way. Ah well, it'll be dealt with soon enough.

Toby wraps his hands around Dorian's face to pull him in for another kiss as clever fingers tug at his shirt. "Good, because I've nothing but you on my mind right now." He smiles warmly up at the younger man before leaning in for another kiss. This is the slice of heaven he loves and needs most in the multiverse, and knowing there will be no chance of intrusions is helpful. Not that Sin isn't lovely, but when it comes to his soulmate and making love? The vampire doesn't need any distractions.

Speaking of, time to get rid of the one round his ankle. Toby chuckles as he reaches down to grab hold of the offending fabric. "Honestly, darling, can't you pick up after yourself so I don't trip--"

His stomach lurches as he grabs hold of the fabric and realizes it's clothing. Not his, not Dorian's. Ah. Of course. Dorian wanted a little time with his other lover before she left for the day. Of course. It makes perfect sense; Dorian wants both his lovers and if one's going to be gone all day, then she certainly requires his attention before she goes.

But this outfit is a reminder, yet another reminder, that Toby's sharing his soulmate with someone he didn't get to vet, meet, or otherwise approve of before he was forced to make do or possibly lose said soulmate forever. Right after he found him again, after believing the man was dead.

He sighs and pushes Dorian off with a single swipe of his arm, using vampiric strength to move the man around. He glares at the fabric in his hand for a moment before wadding it up and tossing it out the door.

"Nice of you to tell me I'm sloppy seconds today," he mutters. "You could at least have the decency to say it to my face."

It isn't actually that big a deal. They've thrown aside clothes that didn't belong to either of them, even before they had a third person permanently living in their home. Living in one of their rooms. Forcing him out of his soulmate's bedroom to keep everyone appeased.

No, not appeased - placated. Because he sure as Hell isn't happy with his own room elsewhere in the townhouse.

Toby sighs and rolls his shoulder to throw Dorian off. "This isn't the first time it's been like this, Dorian. Me coming up here to find it a mess with things that aren't yours, even when we're planning for the day to be ours."

It shouldn't be a big deal. Sin's kind and good-natured, and the vampire genuinely likes her. She brings many indulgences into the house that wouldn't be possible without her, and she makes for an excellent gaming partner from time to time. But he didn't get to choose his part in all this. Not really. He made peace to keep his soulmate. To not be alone again.

God, what utter shit for timing. It's always something for him, isn't it? He could use a drink or five. Anything to dull the ache in his heart and the gnawing realization that he needs to say something about how he's feeling after all this time.

"I'm not in the mood anymore," he says suddenly, pushing himself to his feet and rebuttoning his shirt. "Maybe later. I want to be alone right now."

"She's lovely. Beautiful, intelligent, very warm in ways I like, too." She's a good friend, or as good of one as Toby will let her be. It's hard to feel comfortable enough to allow himself that much, but they get along well enough and he has no reason to outright despise or loathe her.

But how nice or kind or generally caring she is... doesn't matter to his feelings of hurt or ever-present anxiety. Toby sighs again and shakes his head, not looking at Dorian as he gets to answering those last few questions.

"Nothing happened. She's not done something to me that's upset me." She simply exists here, in a space he thought was going to be all his for however long they've got. He can share, but he wanted the option to say 'no' when his gut wrenched at the thought of welcoming a possibly permanent addition into their lives. There was no other choice when the truth of Sin came out, and now the vampire's stuck. He can't lose Dorian, and so he makes do. Just as he always does, especially with this man.

It's so tiring. God, he feels incredibly exhausted all of a sudden, and there's no amount of sleep, caffeine, or other drugs to help. He runs a hand through his hair and rubs at the back of his neck a few times, his mind already running through a list of what alcohol they have on hand and where it is in the house.

"It's fine," he finally says, as much for himself as for his soulmate. "Nothing a few," dozen, "drinks and some time won't smooth over."

Goddammit, he's supposed to be able to walk away from this. Toby presses a finger into his temple to work out the tension already building there.

"Because I bloody can." He turns to glare at Dorian, snapping at the man as he continues. "What does it matter to you, anyway? I finally do this at the wrong moment for you so you notice enough to care? I cut off your supply, and you get upset because no one else is around to give you a hit?"

What is he doing? This is useless. Toby throw a hand up and turns away again. "It doesn't matter. She's fine. She's not hurt me or done anything untoward. Get off it already and take care of yourself today." It's all the action the man's getting unless Sin comes home early.
