[ He didn't resist the hands on his face for a bit, looked up a little flushed and actually caught his breath -- and appreciated that his view was blocked by Anders. Sometimes height differences work out in his favor. ]
You need practice, too. With knowing that you are safe to disagree and argue and will still be loved.
[He can't help the laugh that escapes him as Alaric turns and immediately leads their way down the street. Yes, definitely good to have done this close to home...but he's glad it wasn't just outside it, either. Eyes on the back of Alaric's head, his expression can only be described as an equal mixture of fond and proud.]
Well I certainly trust you, so I'll take your wise words to heart.
[He fell into step with him and squeezed Alaric's hand, his voice pitching a little quieter so only his partner could hear.]
I am, however, also very much in need of you. I'm not sure we'll make it to a bedroom.
[ He takes Anders' hand and tightened his fingers around Anders' immediately, maybe just a little too tight but not by much. ]
As long as we make it behind a door....
[ He's mostly joking, though, because he's kind of dimly turned on and he makes a point of sharing that with Anders, mentally, because he can't quite say it. ]
[He takes the mental note for later. And sends a quiet note of interest back, both for practice as well as practicality.]
This time.
For now, I think I'm looking forward to the bruise the counter will leave across your hips and the marks I'm going to leave on the back of your neck and shoulders.
[The teasing words of 'I hope you do' are on his tongue when Alaric goes quieter. The house is close, but he slows just a bit as he brings Alaric's hand up to kiss the back of it, his tone softening.]

Perhaps, though arguing with you is not my favorite way to spend our time. If I get to kiss you after, I may learn more quickly.
[His eyes darted around Alaric's face and he stole another, quick kiss.]
This was a good first run, you're only slightly pink. I call that a win. May I take you back home now?
no subject
[ He returns the kiss readily enough, soft and sweet but is immediately ready to move. ]
Yes. Please.
[Actually already moving. Near the house was probably a good move. ]

I'm looking forward to that bruise, too. Maybe even leaving a couple of my own.
[ Tiny pause, and then quieter: ]
Thank you.
no subject
You're welcome. What am I being thanked for?
no subject
Pushing appropriately. I like being challenged.

[If it meant more comfort for Alaric and more kisses and touches for Anders, there was no wrong to be had in his mind.
Anders shot him a devilish look and kept Alaric's hand as he lead them up the way to the house.]
Come on, there's somewhere else I'd like to push you.
no subject
yes, yes, come push me against a counter.
