Ah, milord Leo. [He comes to Leo's side, as requested.] This chill is getting to you, isn't it? I should have offered you my cloak some time ago. [Sure, Niles, ignore the fact that you're trembling and your fingers are getting numb.]

I remember how cold this place was when you sent Odin and I to aid Lord Corrin...it seems it's gotten colder in the days since the war ended, though.

[He listens to Niles talk. It was really something that Niles and Odin actually made it through alone. The prince nods, not knowing that back the Ice Tribe actually made it colder by sending blizzards and squalls to drive away the outsiders. Now was likely a cake walk compared. While it was cold, very cold, the sun shone in the sky brightly, and the way was clear. Back then would have been so much harder.]

Do you think so?

[He asks, busying himself with raising the blanket and putting it over Niles' shoulders too, moving his body next to the other's. He couldn't help but feel, initially, he'd made a terrible mistake - the other's form was like hugging a sheet of ice. But shortly afterwards he starts to feel the other's warmth, as he would feel Leo's, and the horses.]

Do you think we're almost there? [He asks pensively, trying so hard to not show weakness. But, it was a question that needed to be asked he thought, as he huddled with the other.]

[Niles draws Leo closer, wrapping his cloak around him for good measure. Yes, this is much better for both of them. Especially Niles, who was a bit more uncomfortable than he wanted to let on, but it's the retainer's job to take care of the prince. Leo's already done enough for him over the years.]

I think so. Just another foot or two, I would wager. [He smiles as gallantly as a one-eyed rogue can.] If you're tired, milord, I can carry you and lead your horse the rest of the way.

No, no. That won't be needed. Just this is fine.

[He's a little concerned about the fact that now they're stopped, they're going to feel the cold a lot more. It's a difficult task after all, peeling a dead horse off a soldier's legs. He moves his arms around the thief's shoulders, pulling him close as close could be.

This felt... nice.

He could feel the benefit of another warmth source, and he hoped it was the same for Niles. That, and being close to the thief was always nice. Should any soldiers come back, this could be easily explained away. Body warmth. It was a thing.

He sighs faintly into the other's shoulder, closing his eyes.

Yes. This felt nice.]

All right... [Yes, this is more than nice, Leo's starting to warm up and so is Niles, he can actually feel his fingers again. It'll take the soldiers a while to move the horse's carcass, they'll probably need a litter or something for the guy himself; his legs are probably busted from that. So they've got a little alone time together.

Still, it'll be nice once they get to a hut or a village or something. Somewhere indoors, maybe with a bed...]

[Niles' wish might just be granted. The time it would take to ensure that the soldier was rescued from his predicament would mean that they would have to spend a lot of time out here. And, they'd more than likely freeze to death. He can hear above him the unmistakable sound of wyverns - as well as shouts.

A diversion would be needed. The army would have to rest on a village on the way - so the soldier could be treated, and left there. Staying the night would probably be on the cards as well. It made absolutely no sense to traipse along the tundra in the dark.

He raises his head as a soldier comes to tell them of this news, not moving from the thief (body heat!) and nods as he's informed of that very fact. The soldier explains that yes, the injured man couldn't be expected to go much further, even on a litter, and needed medical attention. He gives his consent to change course to the nearest village, and the soldier salutes, running on his way.

Then, a wyvern returns. A short and quite miserable walk later... and Leo and Niles are shown to a small cabin. It's really not much. There's no fire - but plenty of blankets. He enters, and he looks to Niles.]

...

[And he smiles, faintly, closing the distance between them as soon as the door is shut.]

[Perfect. He's glad there's no fire-for one thing, Leo can light a small one if need be, but even without that, who needs a fire when you can cuddle under the blankets? Or maybe do more than just cuddle?

He holds Leo tightly against him as their lips meet, his hands undoing the fasteners of Leo's coat, sliding up and down his body. Yes, this is so much better. Thank the dusk dragon for horse carcasses falling on their riders' legs, if that's what it takes to get a break for the night!]

[Body heat was important. Highly so - and whether or not they had a roaring fire and every single comfort - or just this poor excuse for a peasants shack which was all there was to be had, Leo would be taking advantage of having the thief all to himself right now. And he did - he was practically purring as he felt the other's (cold) hands move across his ribs, meeting his own cracked lips to the other's fleshy ones, snaking his hands up the other's waistcoat.

His fingers were glacial, and he only did it playfully - just enough to get a rise from the thief before he withdrew them, moving them against the backs of his clothed thighs.

Words weren't needed. All that was needed was this. Well, and the door locking.
That would help.]

[Niles breaks the kiss to yelp a little, those are some cold fingers! All the more reason to warm up as much as possible...and then Leo's stroking the backs of his thighs, and a very different kind of heat begins to flare up within him.

He lets go just long enough to lock the door, then immediately wraps Leo up in an embrace again, moving them towards the bed.]

Time to get out of these cold clothes...

[The bed in this shack was little more than a pile of blankets, pillows and furs, but Leo hardly cared for creature comforts right now.

Any comments he might have had on the accommodation were strictly thoughts - speaking was difficult as he couldn't stop his teeth chattering.

He wasted no time in resisting the other's plans- allowing himself to be pushed backwards toward the makeshift bed. When he feels the furs at his feet he releases the other, sinking down into the pile, and rearranging them around him. Fur and blanket fort? Yes, fur and blanket fort.

He glances up to the other, pulling lightly on the other's cloak, urging him to move downward, as well.]

[Perfect, now they're surrounded by warmth on all sides. Niles lets himself be pulled down as he begins to undress Leo, his warmer hands caressing his chilled skin. His toes are still freezing inside his boots, and his own clothes are still like ice...the sooner they get naked the better, so they can really take advantage of the body heat and the fur and the blankets.]

[There's quite a lot of trust involved in allowing his clothes to be taken off, but he allows it, even if initially it feels so much worse to be exposed in the cold, damp hut. That, and his body issues.

He moves to pull the other on top of him to straddle him, concentrating on unbuttoning his waistcoat (after he'd got rid of the cloak.) Using his fingers helped - the circulation in them started again, and soon enough, the waistcoat was gone. He reaches to the side to pull a thick fur blanket over the thief's shoulders, and finally, he speaks - his voice faltering as his teeth chatter.]

H-how did you and Odin survive this..?

[Xander's command had been simple. Go to the Ice Tribe. Present the new treaty to them. It'd be easy, he thought. He'd be back within a matter of weeks, he thought. Even on a good day, the tundra was inhospitable, and he couldn't help but wonder how Niles and Odin had even made it to Corrin's side all that time ago.]

[Odin barely seemed to feel the cold, even in that skimpy dark mage garb of his...probably because he ran faster than the wind and kept leaping around with his battle cries. Odin's way too rambunctious to get cold easily. But he remembers hearing about how Lord Corrin collapsed and Silas fretting that they "almost lost him," and how Arthur fell headfirst into a snowbank with Effie having to fish him out and carry his half-frozen body back to the village.]

Beats me. But you know I'm used to the cold, so it was no big deal. It's not so bad losing feeling in your toes after a while, and they didn't fall off... [He didn't think Leo would be this sensitive to the cold, but Nohr's chill isn't the same level as this village. He pulls Leo tightly against him, trying to warm him up to stop his teeth chattering. Boots should come off soon, too, it would be kinda nice to feel his toes.]

[He can't help but feel at everything Niles had endured, he might have about twenty years shaved off his life. It's a sobering thought and one that makes a different sort of shiver go through him. He pushed it away - moving his arms around the other's shoulders and nudging Niles' boots away when they're removed.

This felt nice, he thought. He was starting to warm up - the layers and layers and layers of woven blankets and furs around them certainly helped, as well as the heat of the other's body. He could feel the other's heart beating against his chest, feel his hips (those hips against his own, feel their legs entwined and... yes. This was nice. Very nice. Now, all he had to do was not get turned on.

The longer they were there, the harder it was. He couldn't help it - he really couldn't - how close they were, the fact that it was skin-to-skin, the other's smell, the feel of him, all of that had made him semi-erect. It was pointless to hide it. There was no way he could. So. He moves his head, lightly sighing. Absolutely certain that the other could feel it.]

...Sorry.

For what, for being cold? [Leo should know it doesn't matter how much worse Niles has had it, he's still allowed to have complaints or displeasure. This is his first time trekking through this place, he can't remember anyone not complaining about it back when they were sent to quell the Ice Tribe's unrest. Except Elise, but she was too busy trying to make snowmen. Silly kid.

And then, he feels Leo's cock hardening against him...and grins.]

Ohh, for that. Leo, Leo...you know the best way to keep warm is with the hottest sex imaginable. [Besides, he's hard, too. Leo's warming up nicely against him, his body fits perfectly in Niles's arms, they're alone...]

Really?

[He asks, looking up at the other's face in a mixture of innocence, and skepticism. He was a funny sort. While of course he was known as something akin to a genius, could decipher information both arcane and just... well, difficult, and generally was years ahead of his age in general learning, he was oblivious about a few things. Mostly things that Niles himself was an expert upon. The fact that Niles was his first partner added to that - he often found himself asking about certain things that Niles mentioned and...

...well, every day was eye-opening. Because Niles had always been kind to him, he retained a lot of innocence, and... well, he'd never been anywhere as cold as this before. Of course he had to take it at face value. And exactly as Niles had thought, they were alone - and they would be left alone until the dawn.]

The negotiations with the Ice Tribe might take months if they're feeling cantankerous. This might actually be our last opportunity for a while...

[He states, knowing that arguing every single point of the (long) agreement would likely leave him in little mood for anything other than sleep in his free time.

He moves his spare hand from Niles' hair, down his shoulder, past his bicep, and circles his inner elbow, moving his legs.]

It would be foolish to just... go there. Without at least having a little fun. And, it's important to keep warm. And this is a perfect opportunity, don't you think?

I bet. I mean, your dad did kinda try to annex their tribe and treat them like slaves and even if Lord Corrin saved them and all, they probably don't forgive easily. [It's stupid that they'd take it out on Garon's kids, though. It's not like they were all that eager to take over the place.

And then Leo begins to stroke his way down his body, and Niles's grin softens to a smirk.]

Of course. If this is our last chance for a while, it'd be foolish to waste it by hurrying. And I want to worship every last inch of your perfect, lovely body. [Leo can have as many body issues as he wants, Niles is going to tell him how perfect he is as many times as he damn well pleases. Because Leo really is the best looking-person he's ever been with. Even the "hot" clients or members of his gang who had a go at him were always dirty with grimy hair and missing a few teeth and reeking of booze and sweat and other filth.]

Probably not. We do have Felicia as a representative, so that must count for something, but... I'm inclined to agree with you. This will likely be difficult.

[Even if compared to the old regime, the Ice Tribe were getting a better deal. Independence, plus none of their own would be conscripted. Urged to add to the Nohrian force, yes... but not conscripted as soldiers, servants, or anything else.

It was a good deal. Leo knew this, as he'd actually penned it, explained the details of it to his brother, refined a few points with Xander's feedback and then got his approval on it, but it didn't mean that they would take it. They could easily reject the hand of friendship, or think it too good to be true. He, himself, would not leave until the accord had been struck. Really, it would be a contest of stubbornness.

He colours slightly when he hears Niles' words, moving his gaze from the other's face to the side of the hut wall. It was obvious he didn't agree, but this did not need to turn into a pity party. He moves his spare hand to Niles' erection, running the backs of his fingers teasingly, fleetingly, up the shaft.]

Then let's take all the time we want...

[And Felicia's married to Lord Corrin, but both of them are pushovers so that might not do much good for the negotiations-]

Ah! [And then Leo's fingers are teasing his fully erect cock, Niles involuntarily moves his hips.] Mm, I'm not the least bit tired, but I want us to be exhausted when we're done. When the time comes, I'm gonna fuck you until you can't walk straight for days, Leo.

[ Oh, he's acutely aware. His plan is to wave about Felicia for the emotional side, and then hit the Ice Tribe's council of elders with hard, solid, facts- taking away all measures of uncertainty, bombarding them with the truth. This was a good deal, and they could take it or leave it.

He smiles at the thief's gasp, and withdraws his hand, deciding to tease the inside of his thigh with the same careful, light touches- barely there. And he moves his own hips against the other's (beautiful) ones, bending a leg at the knee. ]

...Promises, promises.

[He responds, meeting the other's lips again, just glancing them.]

Since when have I ever broken such a promise? And if I ever have, well, that just means I'll have to make up for it. [He shifts his hips in a way that lets their erections move against one another] We're as far away from the others as possible...I want to hear you scream.

[He moves his head sharply back at that, parting his lips in a silent gasp. He can't help his toes from curling, nor himself from arching his lower half upward, feeling his erection throb.]

Niles...

[He breathes, coming to terms with the fact he's more than likely going to be fucked in someone else's bed. And deciding shortly after, that this is completely fine. More than fine.]

Edited 2017-12-05 00:40 (UTC)

I'll never get tired of the way my name sounds on your lips. Especially in that tone... [he moves against Leo again, caressing his slender chest and shoulders. The sound of that voice, the look in those soulful brown eyes...forget just feeling his toes again, he can feel them starting to curl.]

[He moves his hands from the thief's thighs, up the sides of his torso, alongside both sides of his neck, past his ears, and then to the sides of his face.

He splays his fingers against Niles' cheeks - his lips trailing, glancing at his clavicle - across his adam's apple, and then his chin as he moves against him, parting them to moan, quietly, before sucking on his bottom lip.]

Ah.. I thought... you preferred screaming?

Ah... [He shivers, writhing beneath the teasing touches of Leo's lips and fingers] I'm not picky. Both have their benefits...as long as I get to hear you. [he reaches up to stroke up and down Leo's back, his own touch as light as a feather]
