[This isn't the first time they've kissed since Juno got here, but it feels like it. Juno sighs, he closes his eyes, and he slides his arm around Peter's shoulder's as a perfect hand presses against his back. He feels like he could be the center of Nureyev's galaxy and maybe he won't stay there forever, but right this second it's the best damn place to be.

He leans into it with the same ferocity, up on the balls of his feet if he needs to be just to make sure there isn't an inch of space between them. He should've said all this months ago. Every single word of it and more. Nureyev deserved to hear it back then but he was too damn afraid to even whisper it. Too afraid of losing what he wasn't sure he even had.

When they finally break apart to breathe, Juno stays close and keeps his head tipped up.]

Hi.

[Do better, Steel.]

Want to come back to my place? We can uh... discuss terms?

[He can't decide if he's making a pass or making a chaste, business-oriented suggestion, but either way the hope in his voice sounds painfully obvious.]

[All things told, that first response isn't awful either. Peter laughs as Juno says it, because it isn't as if they'd taken the time to do proper greetings anyway.]

Hello. [He responds, before stealing another peck and only then nodding at the proposal.] Yes, let's do that.

[Peter reaches out with his free hand to find and clasp Juno's...and then almost giddily brings it up to his lips to kiss.]

[noirtrope]

[Juno doesn't hesitate to take Peter's hand as it slides against his. And he realizes he probably has a goofy, dazed smile on his face as Nureyev kisses his hand like that, gallant and perfect and so completely himself that it makes Juno's chest ache. He doesn't get how Nureyev makes him feel so damn gaga, but he does.]

Sure know how to make a lady feel special, [he murmurs. Juno pulls Peter into another kiss, because he can, because he wants to, because it's amazing to think that maybe he can kiss Peter whenever he wants.

But maybe right in front of the elevator with half a dozen SIN guards standing around is not the best place. He lightly tugs Nureyev's hand, then walks beside him as they walk the no-doubt familiar route back to the city-provided apartments. Juno holds Peter's hand the whole time, if he lets him.

He feels like he should talk. Like he should fill this giddy silence in case the other shoe is still in the air, but he also doesn't want to. He doesn't want to drag this feeling down.

The apartment is quiet when they get there and Juno has to turn lights on as they walk in - they're definitely alone.]

[Peter is absolutely content to hold Juno's hand the whole time that they walk. He also lets the silence hang but occasionally squeezes Juno's hand, smiling at him each time he does.

They really do have to talk about their contract but as soon as they're inside the door and it's clear that they're alone, Peter drops Juno's hand and presses him back against the nearest solid surface to kiss him deeply. They've been together a handful of times since Juno arrived, but it hasn't felt like this.

They need to talk. But they also need to celebrate, and Peter likes this method of celebrating.]

[noirtrope]

[They should definitely talk. They should talk about a contract, they should talk about them, maybe. But they don't get that far before Peter's pushed him up against the edge of a table and he's kissing Juno in a way that makes Juno want to swoon. And he likes to think he's not a swooner. But for Peter Nureyev? He could be.

His hand slides over the back of Peter's neck, holding gently despite the urgency he kisses back with. His lips part at the slightest hint from Nureyev and Juno never wants to stop kissing him. It's not like this is new. They've kissed. They've had sex before this. But it's different, right? It has to be different.

And goddamn he is so happy to celebrate.

Juno breaks the kiss enough that they can both breath, but he doesn't go far. He can't help the probably stupid grin that's brightening across his face.]

Don't waste time, huh?

[Yeah he's definitely saying this as he's trying to figure out to get Nureyev out of his clothes.]
