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.

Comments

Raya only smiles, and threads her fingers into his hair, fingertips brushing through the spiky bits gently. "Feel free to do that as much as you like," she murmurs back.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I generally do things as much as I like," Nikola says, smirking a little as he makes himself comfortable.

[x_coriare]

"Never a bad thing," she says, with a little pull on his hair, grasped between her fingers. "I feel you smirking."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola lifts his head to smirk at her. "I generally do that as well."

[x_coriare]

Raya rolls her eyes, but still smiles. "But it looks good on you," she says.

[ps_you_look_hot]

That smirk deepens to a grin as he shifts onto his back, folding his arms beneath his head. "I know."

[x_coriare]

She chuckles, laying against his side after pulling off the stockings still on her legs. "I'm assuming you don't normally have people walk into your room without knocking," she murmurs, but doesn't move to cover anything or move.

Nikola is comfortable.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Most people know better," Nikola agrees, hooking an arm around her waist.

[x_coriare]

Raya laughs, and rests her head against his chest, one hand swirling lazy designs around Nikola's stomach. "I bet they do..."

"Pity I can't tattoo you with anything devious."

[ps_you_look_hot]

He arches an eyebrow at her. "I wouldn't recommend it."

[x_coriare]

"Wouldn't recommend tattooing you, or doing it with anything risque?" she asks, grinning. "You'd look good with one."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Doing it deviously," Nikola clarifies. "And actually tattooing me wouldn't do any good."

[x_coriare]

"Oh, I don't know about that. It's only a little dye, and can send quite the message," she murmurs, swirling a fingertip around his navel. "But you'd get something better than a little name around here. Why do you think it wouldn't do any good?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Because it wouldn't last," Nikola says, smiling a little at her finger on his skin.

[x_coriare]

"Doesn't last on me either," she says softly. "Doesn't mean it would be worth it while it did."

Because she's in a playful mood, she lets her hand trace a little lazy patch lower, to the crease of his hip. "Maybe a little lightning bolt, right about here."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"A bit cliche, don't you think?"

[x_coriare]

"Do you have a better alternative?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I've never considered body art before."

[x_coriare]

"Well, maybe you should. If you end up hating it that much, it comes off in a couple weeks."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I like my body just the way it is, thanks. I don't see the need to decorate it."

[x_coriare]

She chuckles, and presses a little kiss to the middle of Nikola's chest. "It's a good body."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola smirks. "Glad you approve."

Not that it would matter if she didn't. Very hard to dent his ego.

[x_coriare]

She isn't particularly interested in denting his ego; she might play with him, but there's nothing in it for her. "Mmm. I do like it," she murmurs, amused. "And out of curiosity, what do you think of mine?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I've yet to find anything wrong with it."

[x_coriare]

"From you I'll take that as a compliment," she says with a laugh.
