Noah & Eli

Eli laughs again, remembering all the hand wringing. It's nice to feel protected. He vaguely remembers that sometimes he wishes people were a little less protective, but not tonight. I mean, it's not like they stopped him from seeing Noah. "Everyone's so worried about my chastity," he jokes, turning to try and look at Noah. He can't quite at this angle.

Noah wriggles away on the bed, but only so that Eli has space to turn over. His arm stays around Eli's waist, his thumb tracing Eli's ribs in a gentle, repetitive rhythm.

"Oh, well. I'm disreputable." He smiles again, and it's his audience smile. His I-practiced-this-in-front-of-a-mirror smile. Not insincere—at least, no more than Noah tends to be—but self-conscious all the same. "You like that your friends don't approve of me. Isn't that what you told me?"

"Sort of?" Eli's priorities are all shaken up, so he's still smiling as though this isn't a delicate topic. The consequences seem so far away. Noah's thumb on his ribs has him relaxed in a way he's not sure he's ever been before. He's not awkward or worried, everything seems like a good idea. "It's more like, uh, they don't like my type, and you're my type. Soooo they don't all like you."

Eli's finally fully squirmed around to face Noah and look him in the eye. "It's more like a side-effect. I'm not trying to piss them off on purpose but I'm not going to stop doing the thing that pisses them off. Which is you. I mean—" Eli sputters a little, which turns into another laugh. "I'm not doing you."

Noah laughs. Joy-inflicted Eli might not be his favorite Eli, but he is cute.

"You could, if you wanted to. After all this wears off, of course." His fingers wander up Eli's side, the touch no longer feeling very innocent, even if it is. Noah is conscious of the power he has to hurt, in a way he's never cared about with anyone else, even his friends. He'd made a promise. "But I'm a little afraid it would mean more to you than it does to me."

It's easier to say things, when Eli is like this. Of course Noah is still himself enough to take advantage of it. He's selfish.

Eli shrugs as best he can from his position, a wide grin on his face. He lets his own hands rise up Noah's chest, light but intentional. "I mean, maybe not as much as you think? Sure, yeah, it's romantic, but... everyone thinks I'm way more inexperienced than I am. I've never had a real boyfriend or girlfriend but I'm not a virgin. Sooooo remember that when you think I'm back to normal."

Noah grins back, unable to resist getting swept up in Eli's mood. "Oh I assure you, birdy, I can't forget."

He still doubts that normal Eli would agree—or rather, thinks that he would agree with Happy Eli's point, but maybe focus a little more on the sure, yeah, because they both made promises here. Normal Eli is careful with Noah in addition to being surprisingly reckless, whereas this Eli feels like... all recklessness. Like he'd say yes to anything, just because it's Noah.

"You've really never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend?" he asks, sounding curious. He'd always assumed... well. It would be different for Eli, wouldn't it?

Noah & Eli

Eli distantly realizes this is something he usually doesn't like to talk about. For the moment, though, he doesn't care. "It used to be soooo hard to trust people?" he muses, smiling at Noah. "But Finchwood's cool. Obviously not a lot of people know. Like, I think you, my roommates, Adam... but, uh, I'm not scared here? But real dating is still this big thing because I have a secret that's a deal killer for a lot of people."

Noah reaches across the small space between them and touches Eli's hair, smoothing down where it got messed up from their earlier kissing. Or tries to, anyway—Eli's hair resists neatness.

"Do you worry about it with me?" Noah's smile is suddenly wry. "Not that we're dating, I suppose."

"Uh. Sort of," Eli admits, but it's whispered as though someone might overhear them. He seems pleased all the same, like what he's saying has no consequences.

Eli loves Noah's touch and leans into it. He doesn't even mind the reminder that Noah isn't his and never will be. "I worry about it with everyone. That's why I told you early. To see if it'd scare you away, or make you think I wasn't your thing anymore."

"Everything's my thing, birdy," Noah says, but his voice is soft instead of arrogant, and his hand is gentle on Eli's head. His thumb brushes the curve of Eli's ear, which isn't freckled, unlike the rest of him. It's charming.

Noah should be more careful. He should've been careful the first time around, when Eli told him. But Noah isn't the type to think about consequences, especially when Eli keeps smiling at him. "Someone here probably would date you, you know. A lot of handsome ladies and beautiful boys in your year."
