OFA: In the library

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola is getting rusty.

But he has a good enough memory that despite the fact that it's been a good twenty years since he sat down at a piano, he's doing a fairly decent job of making his way through Au Claire de la Lune.

He doesn't play well, but he plays with great expression.

"I suspect you'll have to write that book yourself, William."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Write me the foreword where you dismiss my pedantic, overly sensitive ramblings as drivel while explain that analyzing that which we don't understand is as useful as tryng to bottle lightning."

Weill stops, wondering, "unless of course, you have."

(OOC: sorry, I had no idea I'd thread jumped...)

[ooc: No worries :).]

"Don't be silly, William. No one has yet invented a bottle capable of holding lightning."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

Will grins and leans against the piano carefully. "Not yet," he repeats. "I suppose you have a better way."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Of harnessing lightning, perhaps. Bottling it renders it rather impotent."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"That's not a word I associate with you," Will teases, wondering both how far he can go and why he's not stopping. "And it sounds like a waste of lightning."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola grins, wide and toothy. "And you'd know this how?"

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Intuition," Will insists, trying not to stare at Tesla's teeth. Or his lips. Or any part of him. "Or reputation."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Reputations are all well and good, but there's nothing like first hand experience."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Kinda fucked that up, didn't I?" Will's only half joking. He was an ass and he's not really sure how to deal with it.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Not that particular part, no," Nikola says, smirking. "I'd still be glad to fuck you."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"That hardly makes me unique," Will retorts. Not that he needs or even wants to be.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I've never made any secret of that." Even when there was a brief attempt at a relationship, he'd made that perfectly clear.

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"True," Will quirks his head thoughtfully. It would be a fascinating experience, even if he didn't fully understand why he is so intrigued. Maybe he's just not sure if he could look at himself in the morning. He's never been good at one night stands.

"It's not a freedom I'm used to."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"It's not one most people are used to, I'm noticing."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we need to be shocked out of it."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola smirks. "I've been trying to in my own small way."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Changing the world, one person at a time." He's gotten rather close to Tesla.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola arches an eyebrow at the closeness. "Sometimes two or three people at a time."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Three counting yourself?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

He smirks, clearly amused. "No."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Obviously I should have gone to Oxford." Will could cut himself on Tesla's teeth. If he wanted to.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Possibly even if he didn't want to.

"Well, the English nobility do throw the best parties."

[coffeenottea.livejournal.com]

"Leave any marks on anyone I'd know?" Would he leave marks in bed? Does he want them? How would he explain a set of teeth marks to Magnus?
