GP - London Calling

[mist_mods]

It had been months now, and London remained. The mist hadn't rolled back in, they hadn't all been dragged back to the icy beaches, and life was normal. ...Sort of. ...At least for the people who'd started in London. For others it was like being dumped somewhere new again, forced to either try and make their way home, or build a new life in a new city.

(OTA! London is here to stay, though the mist is still lurking, waiting to creep back in now and then.)

"Maybe he should have written romance novels," said Robin. Then he looked thoughtful. "I wonder if I'm in a romance novel. I'm in some paintings, you know. Anyway, Fin's a good actor though the priest thing didn't last long, he was too eager to be particularly convincing."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I'll have to take your word for it," Fin replied, blushing and laughing nervously.

[goodfellow]

"Want me to tell you about it?" Robin asked casually, pouring himself another glass of wine.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"No, that's between you and him," Fin said with a soft smile. "But I do envy your past with him, I think."

[goodfellow]

"Why?" Robin asked. "What do you want that you don't have?"

[prince_of_nymphs]

"History," Fin said honestly. "All your assumptions about me are based on what happened with him. All those experiences you had, I don't have those."

[goodfellow]

"I'm trying not to make assumptions," Robin reminded him. "But obviously the solution is to create our own history."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"It's hard though. I mean, we don't have a clean start, do we? It's a bit muddled," Fin pointed out, perching himself on the edge of the desk and looking thoughtful.

[goodfellow]

Robin moved closer to him. Nudged Fin's knees apart and stood between them. "So what do you suggest?"

[prince_of_nymphs]

Fin wet his lips, a faint blush coloring his cheeks as he shrugged. "I don't have suggestions or answers. I dunno why you'd think I would. I'm sort of clueless, Robin," he pointed out.

[goodfellow]

"You shouldn't have to live in the shadow of what he may or may not have done," Robin said. "You must have things you want, all on your own."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"But there's so much overlap. I'm so much like him in so many ways I've learned. Especially when it comes to desire. ...I'm attracted to the same people, the same things. I can't escape that."

[goodfellow]

"Why do you want to?" Robin asked. "You should just enjoy the things you enjoy. I mean, other Fin certainly isn't the only person you share your desire for me with. I'm very desirable. I'd be offended if you didn't."

[prince_of_nymphs]

Fin shrugged, then sighed. "You know what I want? I want to get drunk. Let's get really trashed and talk about something way less serious."

[goodfellow]

Robin chuckled. He was never one to judge someone for wanting to get fucked up, regardless of the reason. "You want something harder then? Bourbon and honey?"

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Yes!" Fin grinned. "That would be perfect."

[goodfellow]

Still standing between Fin's thighs, Robin leaned over him, practically pressing him back onto the table--but it was only to reach into a box on the side of his desk and pull out a key. Though he still made sure his breath was hot against the side of Fin's neck as he got so close to him before pulling away entirely.

He moved away and walked to the other side of the room, where there was a locked cabinet. He opened it to reveal a safe, along with a full bar with a mirror. He reached for a bottle of bourbon.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Fin looked slightly flustered, and he seemed embarrassed as he adjusted himself a little.

"How, um, long have you owned this place?" He asked awkwardly.

[goodfellow]

"Few years," Robin said. His back was to Fin, but he could see him in the mirror, and he smiled a little when he saw him squirm. He opened a cabinet and pulled out a small jar of honey, added some to one of the glasses of bourbon.

He brought it over to Fin. "I'm glad you like it."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Like I said, it's impressive, genuinely," Fin said as he took the glass with a nod of thanks. "I think it's the biggest club I've ever been to."

[goodfellow]

"It's definitely more fun than my last gig," Robin said. "I sold used cars. Which, to be fair, I was very, very good at."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I can't imagine you with a normal gig," Fin smiled. "I dunno why, you just seem like- Bigger than that."

[goodfellow]

"Well I am," Robin said. "I don't have to work. Not like I need the money. Or if I did, I'd just go steal something. But I do get bored very easily."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I can imagine that," Fin laughed softly. "And what do you do when you get bored?" he asked.

[goodfellow]

Robin smirked at him. "Well, sometimes I steal something. Do you want another drink?"
