Welcome to Gaia! ::

What Ripley considered to be plenty of time seemed to be not enough time at all to Finn, who knew that they were on a limit and despised it. Only enough time for a quick romp, and then they would have to spend time making themselves look presentable again (and Finn still needed a shower as well, sigh). But it was quite easy to forgot all of that and instead get lost in kisses that he had thought for a while he might not ever get to feel again, to revel in the feel of Ripley's hands sliding along him again.

When the other man began tugging him towards the bed, Finn was only too eager to follow, quickly taking the hint and pulling away long enough to begin shedding clothes, peeling off the old t-shirt that now had spots of dried up dye on it before his mouth found Ripley's again, his hand going to the side of his face, thumb brushing over his cheekbone in a rather gentle manner considering how forceful his other movements were, a thumb hooking into the top of the other mans pants and tugging downward with a hint of those should probably come off now before they both collapsed onto the bed and Finn resumed where he had left off kissing down the other mans body.

He wanted more time. He wanted every last little moment he could and he didn't want to let the ******** go. He wanted to make every last part of the man beneath him feel ******** spectacular, because maybe he just wanted to leave a lasting impression and not have something like this happen between them again anytime soon.

Of course, it still had to be rushed in a way that was absolutely aggravating, but still quite satisfying by it's end. Finn rolled over onto his back, naked, sweating, and much too hot, a hand coming up to wipe down his face to hide a smile that was impossible to keep off of his lips at the moment. The future for them, however daunting, could be momentarily forgotten about in the afterglow.

He rolled onto his side towards Ripley and looked at him for a while.

"So...am I basically your boyfriend now?" He asked, smile becoming a large, if somewhat mischievous looking, grin. "Because that just sounds so ******** childish. How about <********>?"

That had a much better ring to it, clearly.

"It's not, is it?" He frowned slightly, a hand moving to Ripley's back, fingers trailing down the other mans spine before his arm draped across Ripley instead, and he leaned in to press a kiss to his shoulder. "Not nearly as much as hot piece of a**, at least."

He went silent for a moment then, before saying. "Fine. But you have to say I'm your Finn then." He teased, quite insincere, teeth flashing in a grin before Ripley's next question wormed it's way into his head and soured his now short-lived good mood.

He huffed a short sigh, removed his arm, and rolled onto his back again, both hands coming up to press the heels of each against his eye's (well, eye socket in one case).

"I don't really know." He admitted. "I want to say nothing needs to change, but that's not really true anymore, is it?" Because at least one thing was certain. They wouldn't just be able to call it quits and go back to being nothing to each other anymore should one of them decide to end it.

He let his hands drop, thinking to himself, and also giving Ripley a chance to weigh in with thoughts of his own, for once keeping quiet, not even breaking the silence with a smart a** comment of any kind.
