Leo paced, rubbing at his face. His legs were restless, his whole body ached. He felt like his own skin wasn't fitting right and he hated it. His ship was slow going but it was mostly complete. With Taurus' help that is. But it was small and he was tired of small. Scorpios message about possible earth living area's made him excited.

He was carrying his ships onboard teleporter computers to hook up to the Flash robots so that organics could use the relays to get to earth and back with out a ship. Now that he was sure Apollo wasn't going to show back up, or Karkino's was going to eat the refined metals the device was made of. He sets it up, grabs the gear he was bringing with him. His weapons, his armor which he turns on. Watching the platting stack around his small frame before his HUD activates and his helm turns with him like it was his own head. 

Scorpio 12:48 am     It felt like he just found the secret key that unlocked a bit he hadn’t seen yet of Tengu. Thus far it hadn’t seemed much different from when they would hook up now and again. Just now they shared a bed and saw eachother more. He had even been a little afraid to relax around Tengu, show his fluffy romantic side, or more than a sliver of it at a time. The wasabi sure as fuck didn’t help with that. But as they kissed and he got more into it, he relaxed completely. His tail slumped across the shower’s floor, claws rubbing those hips they had been digging into moments ago. Teeth gazed Tengu’s bottom lip as Scorpio bit it gently, the purring nice and loud and happy.

Tengu Man 6:12 pm     Tengu let out a few small laughs every now and then, but eventually they turned into a full blown snicker. “You’re fucking cute,” he says like it’s an insult and bites back. His hips were a little sore from being gripped but nothing a good buff ‘n scrub wouldn’t fix. He didn’t give a shit if anyone found out he had a snuggly side. He just didn’t feel like showing it that often. And if Scorpio got to see it, so the fuck what? He could still fucking murder any cunt who dared imply he was less of a badass for it.  Scorpio 6:15 pm     ”Rrrrmmmm, but so are you.” His tone implies less insult, more fawning.  And fawning he was, nipping back with a big grin, claws rubbing up his sides. “An’ gods yer handsome.” His teeth moved to nip Tengu’s cheek, then neck.  Tengu Man 6:17 pm     ”You’re going to get me fucking horny again,” Tengu warns and leans back as his bug spoils him with nips and pets. His own hands clawed gently at the wet chitin on Scorpio’s chest. “How the fuck did you fall for a piece of shit like me?”  Scorpio 6:21 pm     He rests his chin on Tengu’s shoulder. Purring right in his earcap like a big lazy cat. “That an’ actual question or rhh…rhetorical?” He chuckled and licked at his neck. His claws finding a spot where the metal shows and feels it with a light touch.  Tengu Man 6:24 pm     It had a slightly soft texture like smooth rubber but when pressed was as hard as any metal. It was warm like the rest of him, and Scorpio can feel something whirring inside. Tengu shrugs. “You can answer it if you want to,” he says and taps the keypad under the showerhead. The hot water stops pouring from above and starts filling the tub instead. “I don’t give a shit. I’m just surprised as fuck.”  Scorpio 6:33 pm     Scorpio peeked and saw the water rising. This was a bath right? He hadn’t had a bath since his home. Not with these fancy ‘showers’. His stinger tip bobbed, refusing to not float, which irritated him a bit but he shrugged it off, though it looked silly to him like a fish bobber. “Ah think ah said it before. But ah like th’freedom that came with yeh. While still havin’ a partner ah could go to. When ah fuck up yeh dun baby me, yeh kick m’ass. Ah think what really helped was th’savin’ me from Slash” He nuzzles the other. “There’s a whole buncha lil reasons but s’long as yer happy an’ I’m happy then s’good t’me.”  Tengu Man 6:35 pm     ”Hey I get the best fuck of my life three meals a day, what’s not to be happy about?” He chuckles and pats Scorpio on the back. The water was just the perfect amount of ‘too hot to be warm’ and was rising quickly. “Whatever, I’m not arguing.” He shoves Scorpio back into the water and dunks himself in before coming up and parting the wet bangs from his hair. It was practically a miniature pool. “Jaccuzzi!” He says, and jets and bubbles start to shoot into the water at his command.  Scorpio 6:38 pm     Getting a feel of how deep it was, Scorpio started getting a slow growing grin on his face. Though the bubbles made him jump a bit. He leaned back and soaked up the heat a bit before slipping under, getting a look around the tub. And before popping back up, he gave a little nip to Tengu’s leg.  Tengu Man 6:40 pm     ”Hey!” He growled and splashed at Scorpio’s face as soon as he came up. “Cut that shit out, I’m tired. You do know how to relax, right?” He snarked and leaned back against the seat, getting comfortable and leaning his head back. “I know it’s fucking shocking that I do.”

 Scorpio 6:45 pm     The bug snickered at the water, but leaned back against the tub edge. “Aight, ‘m sorry.” He kept to his side, unsure if he really made the other mad. He pressed his tail against the other’s leg in a show of affection before resting his head back and letting his eyes close. The alst thing he wanted was to smother the bird.

Tengu Man 6:51 pm     Tengu wouldn’t have given a shit. And he could sense Scorpio’s tenseness. It was the same kind of anxiety he fed on in greater amounts from lesser people. He watches Scorpio get “comfortable” and rolls his eyes before moving over and straddling his lap. “Look let’s get one fucking thing straight right off the bat. If you want something from me, you’d better fucking take it and not be a weak little fuck about it. I don’t play games. If you want to fuck me, you flip me on my back and fuck me. If you want my ass kicked, get your armor on and kick it. If you want to hold me, fucking reach over and pull me into your lap and don’t let go unless I start punching your shit.”  Scorpio 6:59 pm     Eyes snapped open and stared up at Tengu. After his little speech, he pulled the bird into a tight hug and snuggled him. “An’ lemme git a word in, ah dun wanna be Slash. O-or Jupiter.” He gives a small concerned glare at Tengu. “Ah ain’t playin’ games, ah’m tryin’ t’figure this shit out.” Scorpio pulls Tengu off his lap and sets him next to the bug, an arm around him. “I’ll take yer advice, but soon as ah do sumin’ wrong fuckin’ kick my ass aight?”  Tengu Man 7:01 pm     ”Like I’d do anything else. You don’t get a pass from the ass kicking just because I like you,” he said with a smirk and tugged on one of Scorpio’s messy braids. “Slash and Jupiter are fuckbaskets. Don’t ever fucking ask me for anything. Just take it and back the fuck off when I say no. That second part was their mistake,”  Scorpio 7:06 pm     That sounded simple enough. He relaxed with that in mind, and at the tug. “Aight. Ah can do that.” He sank more into the bath, purr returning. He did nuzzle into the hand a bit, liking the tug.  Tengu Man 7:09 pm     As long as that was out of the way, Tengu took the opportunity to mess with Scorpio’s hair. He opens one of the side doors to grab a comb from a shelf and closed it again to keep the steam in, making a note to open his earcaps so he could vent better and not overheat. He moves Scorpio into his lap and starts gently tugging his hair out of the cornrows and dreadlocks to clean it properly.  Scorpio 7:13 pm     Despite feeling absolutely pampered, he did feel a nagging of his culture in the back of his mind. Rarely were dreadlocks picked apart and unbraided, unless for a ceremony. Often ending with the newly pulled apart dreadlocked person dying. Shooing the silly thought away with the fact Tengu didn’t know that, he relaxed into the touches.  Tengu Man 7:17 pm     Give the guy credit, he knew what he was doing. Years of practicing those tiny braids at the back of his head. He was focused as fuck, too, forgetting the bath and the bug and just honed in on his work. He got the same look when cooking or playing music or fishing. It was the focused gaze of a predator and he used it for his hobbies. In no time he had the braids undone and Scorpio’s hair nice and detangled, taking a few seconds to run his fingers through the thick wavy locks, smiling at the fact that he gets to see Scorpio’s precious braids pulled out and no one else, before putting the comb aside and starting to give Scorpio fresh, tight cornrows exactly where they were, not a single strand out of place.  Scorpio 7:21 pm     His eyes closed, letting Tengu move his head as needed, he was still an quiet. The cutest smile on his face and a warm buzz filling his head when his neck or a spot on his scalp was grazed. Tengu was good. For a moment he forgot where he was, and thought it was his mother with her precision claws. The thought only lasted a second though, and he rumbled softly. “Where yeh git so good, Tengu?” He spoke softly, incase Tengu was too focused.  Tengu Man 7:25 pm     ”Practice,” he says flatly without breaking focus. Shortly after Scorpio’s question he feels the loose ends of his braids tucked back into the clasp holding them in their little cluster. But one part of the braiding had felt different while Tengu worked, and when he was done he flipped over Scorpio’s shoulder the reason why. At the end of the braid on the far left side of his head Tengu had made two thin douchey little braids tied at the ends just like his own. He taps something into the keypad and the glass wall right in front of Scorpio becomes reflective, giving him a slightly foggy view of him in his bird’s lap and arms. “Fucking swag,” he says, naturally talking about himself.  Scorpio 7:32 pm     Scorpio admired the work, even if the little braids were a break from the norm. He couldn’t braid to save his life so live with them he would. With a hum he snuggled back into the bird, looking them over in the mirror. “Man we look cute as fuck. Though ah think ah make yeh look paler. Not t’worry my good looks make up fer it.” He grins, being a little ass, even giving Tengu a kiss on the cheek, though he could be trying to be sweet there.  Tengu Man 7:35 pm     Yeah he’d done a good job of calming Tengu down from the game they had that morning and the rough shower sex afterwards. Having something quiet to focus on did that to him. Scorpio would get to see a lot of Tengu’s solo behavior he never knew the bird had, like this quietness and this focus and whatever state of mind he was in to make him return a kiss on someone’s fucking cheek. How gay was that? Especially that he kissed him right on his little face swirly thing. “Racist little shit,” he mutters affectionately.

 Scorpio 7:40 pm     He didn’t know what racist meant, but didn’t care. Tengu was being affectionate and outright adorable and Scorpio wanted to enjoy it as much as he could. Kissing his marking specifically just made that grin bigger. “Says th’ass.” He gives another kiss, nuzzling the cheek. “Handsome ass.”

Tengu Man 7:58 pm     Tengu kisses him on the mouth to shut him up. And stays there to keep him shut up.
