(( The bike is interesting. Obviously, he can't expect anything as high-end as they're used to, but it's still nice that Tay has some means of transportation. It's better than having to walk everywhere or take the trains. ))
Thanks! It was the oddest thing. I went into a store and they made this big celebration that I was their thousandth customer- or something- and gave it to me. At first I was so freaked that maybe I was under attack somehow!
[He snickers. When they reach his room, Tay rushes in first and snatches a couple pieces of lingerie off the bed and stuffs them in a drawer. Jewelry and makeup are also strewn about on the bed as well as a bottle of body glitter. On top of his dresser is a large box wrapped in pretty red paper and a silver bow.
Instead of dealing with that though, Tay picks up his robe and slips it on.]
(( Why is he not surprised to find Tay's space to be a bit of a disaster before a night out? In some ways, he's like a cyclone, all full of energy for the things he enjoys and leaving chaos in his wake. And there's not a damn thing wrong with that. ))
Yeah. It's our first night out officially as a married couple so I wanna put some effort into it.
[Tossing his towel haphazardly on the floor, Tay reaches out and puts his hands on Vegas' shoulders. Turning him around, he pushes him lightly to sit down on the edge of his bed. Leaning in, Tay studies his complexion for a moment.
Right, since you're not attached at the hip and cannot function without the other one.
[His tail sways almost like it's being sassy too. He takes a step toward his closet but immediately stops when Vegas is showing off the bracelet. Tay comes back and takes a hold gently of Vegas' forearm. He coos, admiring the piece.]
This is beautiful! Oh! I know just what to give you to wear!
[He rushes from there back to his closest and got out a sleeves, v-neck black shirt with a bit of fringe around the edge.]
This with some dark pants and a real simple chain around your neck will be stunning!
(( It's not the hips they're attached at, Tay. Besides, Pete does plenty without him. He'd been exploring and getting to know the territory while Vegas was at home reading. And Vegas was here alone, wasn't he? They're fine without each other.
Vegas inspected the shirt and nodded. Pete would especially like it and that was the point. And it wasn't like Vegas was shy about showing a little skin. ))
[He hangs the shirt up and out of the way. When he returns he starts work on Vegas' makeup. More to himself than to his friend, he mumbles a few notes about which color to pick as he goes.]
I heard there was a big masquerade ball somewhere during all this craziness. It's too bad we missed it. It would've been fun doing makeup for something like that. I'd make you very.. Phantom of the Opera.
(( for his part, Vegas is still and quiet, letting Tay focus on the task at hand. He turns his head whichever way Tay guides it without any fight or complaint. In this case, Tay was the expert and Vegas knows a little something about deferring to people with expertise. ))
(( Vegas agrees about Kinn. But he gets it, to a degree. Without the trappings of their usual roles at home and Porsche being absent, he's sure Kinn's struggling to find his way. Vegas knows he would be if Pete were't here. ))
(( Vegas would be lying if he wasn't curious what Tay had planned. He's always been good at catching one's eye and just as good at making others look absolutely delectable. So, he takes a minute to unbutton his shirt and pull the knit v-neck over his head. ))

So do you want your wedding present now or later?

I think you should wait til Pete's around.

Because I'm not carrying that thing to a bar!

What will you be wearing tonight?

Date: 2022-11-02 06:05 pm (UTC)(( He was teasing, but he definitely could see why Tay didn't want to drag the box out with them.
The question prompted a shrug from Vegas. ))
I dunno. I promised Pete I'd wear something to show this off.
(( He held up his left arm to show Tay the diamond encrusted cuff around his wrist. ))

Perfect. And just so you know this is waterproof in case you start weeping over how in love you are with Pete.

Date: 2022-11-04 09:07 pm (UTC)You really have beautiful skin, Vegas. It's a lovely shade and it's going to make these colors pop.
[As he picks out which lip color Vegas should use, he pauses.]
I need your help with something. I know Kinn isn't going to want to lighten up and have fun, but we need to make him. It'll do him a world of good.
