Nyx

[goodfellow]

Robin had been elsewhere in the club when one of his employees mentioned that they'd spotting Nyx there, and Robin immediately went to find him.

Out on the dance floor, Robin slid an arm around his waist and leaned in close so he could be heard. "How nice to see you, darling."

Robin had to remind himself that he and Nyx were friends, and spending an evening together didn't necessarily mean sex. Though he was selfishly hoping that Nyx too was cognizant of the possibility of hurting his brother, and so he wouldn't have to worry about temptation.

"Sure," he said. "I really am hoping for the cake now though."

"Me too, I didn't eat today," Nyx laughed. "If there's no cake, we'll order one, hmm? Me, you, cake in bed..." he purred.

Robin reached out and carded his fingers through Nyx's hair. "That sounds like bliss. Though... you and I in bed, specifically. Do you think it would upset your brother? Not that I - I just wonder if I should talk to him first."

Nyx pulled a face, then shrugged. "I have no idea, but it's not like you're his boyfriend. ...Right?" he asked.

[goodfellow]

Robin sighed, and pulled his hand away. "Well, until you just suggested otherwise, I assumed he knew I must be sleeping with other people. No, I certainly haven't made him any promises. And I wouldn't. I might be in the right, but that still doesn't mean I want to do something I know might hurt him. Regardless of how much I want that thing."

"...So that's a no?" Nyx asked, not really wanting to get too deep into his brother's affairs. If it were any other fae, he would have laughed it off, but honestly, he didn't know how Rain would react if he slept with Robin. He didn't think it would be a big deal, but he couldn't claim to know his brother so well anymore.

"Are you still interested in hanging out with me if we don't have sex?" Robin asked.

[tempting_the_fates]

"Sure," Nyx shrugged. "We can still eat cake."

[goodfellow]

"I'm glad to hear you don't just want me for my body," Robin teased.

And he also wanted Nyx to know the same was true for him. I know what people like me for stuck in his head from earlier. And though it may not have meant exactly what, whatever it did mean, Robin hoped that Nyx didn't think it was true of their friendship.

"Oh, well, that's not to say I don't love your body," Nyx purred, leaning in a little as though he might kiss him. "...But the rest of you is lovely too," he smiled.

[goodfellow]

Robin moved enough to meet that lean, and kissed him chastely. "We are both exceptionally lovely," he said. "Inside and out."

"Oh, I don't know. I think you'll find that deep down I'm terribly rotten and selfish," Nyx assured him.
