Prometheus

[goodfellow]

Robin hadn't heard another peep about a potential puck in town. As far as he knew the mysterious naked jewelry thief hadn't been caught, and also hadn't made any other hits - at least not any that had eye witnesses or had caught him on camera. Though he might have preferred hearing something; the nugget of threat and then a lack of closure just had him on edge.

He knew he'd probably been a dick because of it, too. When Robin was uncomfortable, and especially if that discomfort had an edge of fear, he overcompensated. He pretended everything was fine, which meant he amped his Robin-ness up to eleven. Figuratively, he'd been swinging from chandeliers.

Which is why he was drunk and stumbling into the flat at 7:45 in the morning. He also couldn't remember where he'd left his shirt.

He tried to be quiet, but ended up crashing into the kitchen table and sending a bowl of apples crashing to the ground and rolling about. He swore.

"Both," Robin said. "Let's go somewhere with beautiful white sand beaches where we can wear very little clothing."

[pecked_by_birds]

"Somewhere in Corsica, perhaps?" Prometheus suggested. "You're arranging travel though, I hate dealing with those stupid booking websites. I miss when you could just walk into an office and someone would do it all for you."

[goodfellow]

"You can, it just takes a lot longer," Robin said. "Are you sure? I'm not derailing your plans to spend the weekend sculpting?"

[pecked_by_birds]

"No, no. It can wait. It's going to be a chair. I thought you might like it for your club- A large marble throne for them all to take selfies in," the titan shrugged.

[goodfellow]

Robin rolled them over and kissed him. "That's brilliant. Stop making me wonder why you're so fucking good to me."

[pecked_by_birds]

"Mmm, well, it was supposed to be a table but I cracked it. It seemed a shame to waste good marble," the titan chuckled, returning the kiss.

[goodfellow]

"I'm starting to think we should just stay in bed all weekend instead," Robin purred.

[pecked_by_birds]

"If you want. Or we can travel local. Some nice hotel or nearby resort," the titan offered. "I don't mind, dove. I'm content to be wherever you are for now."

[goodfellow]

"You're not me," Robin pointed out. "I don't know if you'd even want to spend a weekend having sex. Besides, I want to do something nice for you. I want to do whatever you want to do."

[pecked_by_birds]

"Is this your way of asking where I'd like to go, dove?" the titan asked with a soft smile. "I suppose I'd like to go somewhere I've not been in a while. The French Alps, perhaps."

[goodfellow]

"Yes," Robin said, smiling, because he was glad Prometheus had told him what he wanted. "Yes, let's go there. A train is only about eight hours, or we could fly."

[pecked_by_birds]

"I do enjoy the train," the titan confessed. "Are you sure you'll not be missed here?" he asked.

[goodfellow]

"I'm sure," Robin said. "The club will be fine without me for a few nights, and that's the only reason anyone would miss me."

[pecked_by_birds]

"I don't believe that, Robin. You've many admirers and friends here," Prometheus smiled. "I'm happy to steal you away for a few days though."

[goodfellow]

"I'll book the train tickets, you start packing," Robin said, and kissed him quickly before climbing out of the bed.

[pecked_by_birds]

The titan stretched lazily, then reluctantly got out of bed. He grabbed a few simple suits and some extra button down shirts. then sorted out toiletries for them both.

"Should we bring coats?" he asked.

[goodfellow]

"Oh, I think even there, it doesn't get extraordinarily cold in the summer," Robin said, as the train tickets spit out of the printer.

[pecked_by_birds]

Prometheus considered that, then nodded, selecting a few items for Robin and then zipping up the bag.

"Then I believe we're packed and ready, dove."

[goodfellow]

Robin liked when Prometheus called him dove.

"Let's go," he said. "I'll get a car to take us to the train station." He pulled out his phone as he walked over to Prometheus and put a hand on his back.

[pecked_by_birds]

Leaning over, he kissed Robin's cheek. this would be nice, he thought. A rare treat for them both.

Eventually they were on the train, and in a matter of hours they'd arrived. This time of year it wouldn't be hard to find a villa or cabin to rent. Most people were off at the shore, not hiding out in the mountains.

[goodfellow]

Robin was one step ahead of him. This was what Airbnb was for. When they got off the train, he held out his phone to show Prometheus. The villa he'd rented, not far from the best ski resort in Chamonix. "What do you think?"

[pecked_by_birds]

"It looks beautiful," the titan smiled. "I'm usually much better at planning, but on this occasion I'm very fortunate to have you at my side."

[goodfellow]

"If there's one thing I'm good at it's living well," Robin said.

They made their way to a taxi, and it wasn't a long drive to the villa, which was large and impressive. "This is perfect," Robin sighed. "There's an indoor pool and a hot tub, too."

[pecked_by_birds]

"I should have brought my paints," Prometheus said, looking out at the views. "This place begs to be captured on canvas."

[goodfellow]

"Oh..." said Robin, looking around. "Oh, yes. No, we can remedy that. There's a town not far from here, they might not be entirely up to your standards but I'm sure we can find some paints that will do."
