Ares was ecstatic when Bas finally agreed to move in with em. They’ve only been dating for about a year but the timing felt right. Between vision quests, his own detective work, and dates, Bas’ time was pretty much split between Ares house, Li’s house and his office anyway. He may as well move in with one of them and Ares had more space since e only lived with eir sister whilst Li’s house was pretty consistently full. Li had practically moved into the Kotas residence already, but he maintained his room back at the Cowles house. 

So now here the three of them were, packing up Bas’ apartment to properly move him in and fully solidifying the next step in their relationship. Ares had been sorting through Sebastian’s various button ups when e came across the best possible thing e could’ve found. Hidden under all of Bas’ business casual was a plain black T-shirt with a rainbow of text that all reads “No Cops At Pride.”

Ares grinned, a sudden mischief washed over em as e quickly and quietly discarded the shirt e was wearing and pulled the No Cops T-shirt over eir head. While eir shoulders almost filled out the shirt, the hem of the shirt still hung around eir thighs. Biting down on the inside of eir cheek Ares called out, “Hey Bas can you come check something out for me? Not sure if you wanna keep this or not.” 

Bas called out his assent and Ares could feel eir heartbeat pick up with the sound of each of his footsteps against the floor. When he finally steps into the doorframe Ares turns, eir tongue poking through eir teeth. Sebastian is silent and his face is impassive as usual, but Ares can see his jaw working as he looks em up and down. “I see you’ve found that shirt.” Li’s voice calls from down the hall “Ooooh that shirt, sounds like something I’ve gotta see.” Li quickly joins Bas in the doorway, a smirk settling on his face as he looks between Bas and Ares.

Li’s eyes darken “Nice shirt Re, looks good on you.” Sebastian finally breaks from his position and strides purposefully towards Ares, backing em towards his half made bed. “I think we’ve been working for a good while. Seems an appropriate time to take a break. What do you say Li?” Ares feels a pleasant shiver go up eir spine as Li steps up behind Bas and threads his fingers into Sebastian’s ponytail. “I think now is the perfect time for a break Bas.”
