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.
Dorian chuckles as Toby presses him for his presents. The man isn't wrong; Whining and crowdsourcing for answers aside, the vampire's been remarkably patient over the last few weeks (or remarkably patient for him, anyway). They've had their game of push and pull over Toby's gifts for long enough-- now it's time to deliver.
"The first one's in the walk-in closet. Push aside the kimono and you'll find it learning against a wall."
All this early morning tugging and kissing is hitting him in a very good way, though. Pressing into Toby, Dorian wraps an arm around the other man's waist and leans in to start kissing his neck. "Or... we could start your birthday like this." He throws in a bit of the sultry purr he can manage after having just woken up.
Happy Toby is a good reason for sex, right? Waking up content and turned on has absolutely nothing to do with it.
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.
Yes, this is exactly the answer Dorian's half-awake brain and body are hoping for. Sex in the sun has become a thing for them, to the point where feeling Toby against him and sunlight pooling warmly over them both has become a bit Pavlovian. That it's a sunny outside their bedroom and the beginning of a day spent in utter contentment with his favorite person only makes everything better. Grinning, Dorian answers the deeper kiss pressed to his lips with enthusiasm, his free hand shifting to work at their clothes. Thankfully he's only in a silken sleep shirt, which makes it much easier to focus on getting the vampire out of whatever the man's thrown on his body for the day.
"Your choice, rightfully so," he offers back, keeping Toby pressed flush against him as jeans are pulled off and tossed aside. "Just give me a place and position." And hopefully sooner rather than later. Which will become evident enough the next time he draws Toby in for a kiss and shifts his hips against his boyfriend's. Yes pls happy sex time pls now pls.
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.
There's absolutely no time to get out the incredulous laugh that's threatening at his lips as Toby punctuates his initial thrust with 'Happy birthday to me'. (They'll have to get to that later.) All Dorian can do is gasp and wrap an arm around the other man's neck, clutching hard at his lover as they come together breathtakingly fast. It's a little more than his semi-awake brain can fully appreciate, but that only makes it that much better. They're rushing to the edge as fast as they can, and it's a hell of a more satisfying way to wake up than the cup of espresso that was going to be Dorian's next choice if Toby had gone for his presents first.
"God, this--" Without so much as a second thought, Dorian wraps a hand around his own achingly insistent cock, and quickly moves to try and match the pace of the other man's thrusts. He doesn't bother to restrain a single sign of his enjoyment, moaning and panting openly as they race forward. This is going to happen quickly between them, with virtually no way of slowing down when they're both this eager.
When his orgasm begins to crest, Dorian reaches out and delves his fingers into Toby's gloriously messy hair, drawing the vampire down and into a deep and passionate kiss. This is the way to start a birthday morning, and he's going to enjoy every minute of it in exactly the way he wants while they're still tangled up together.
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.
Well this? is definitely nice. As soon as they're parted, Dorian lets himself flop bonelessly, happily down into their wonderfully sumptuous bed. Spreading out a bit to get comfortable, his first response to Toby's question is an approving, lazy hum. The second, once he's pulled more of his brain cells together and put them to the task, is,
"Happy birthday to you... and me." Sigh. Yeah, this is the good life. Now the rest of the day can get devoted to presents, a very excited Toby, and whatever else they could possibly want to do together. It's a very domestic sort of afternoon for the both of them, but it's honestly... perfect. Perfect in a way that's particular to them both and that he's grown used to around Toby. (Or had grown used to. This third chance at a life together is still taking time for him to catch up to in a few small ways.)
"Yes, it's behind the kimono. Why don't you bring it out and open it up here?"
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???
Toby's excitement over presents is always fun to watch and be part of. A smile plays about Dorian's lips as the vampire (at first struggles) and then carries the gift back to bed.
"This one was loosely supposed to be the subject of the riddle." The shape, size and weight of the wrapped package might be a little indicative of the Martin's D-28 acoustic guitar nestled inside. In the end, the riddle was about music, but a good portion of it was a red herring to give Toby something to chase. At this point, Dorian doubts the other man will be too unoccupied to mind much. "You'll see why."
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.
