Calvin rubbed his temple as he stared at the faded papers spread across the table in front of him. Pages and pages of faded ink in glyphs they couldn’t yet decipher. He'd been staring at them for so long the markings were beginning to blur together. The headache clawing its way up the back of his head and stabbing little needles into his eyes probably wasn’t helping any. He sat back in his chair and closed his eyes, listening as the discussion went on around him.

"Calvin? You with us? Stop thinking about the girls you and Nikko met at the club last night. We need you here," Solomon admonished.

Calvin sighed and opened his eyes, then leaned on his elbows as he studied the symbols again. Every time he thought he might have an idea of what one of the glyphs meant, the next one confused him, throwing anything he thought he'd figured out into doubt.

The door at the end of the room opened and Nikko walked in, freshly showered and looking much better than Calvin felt. Nikko dropped into a chair across the table and nodded at Calvin. His lips curled into a grin as he brought a popsicle up to his mouth and slid it in slowly. Calvin glared at him and imagined all kinds of cruel and unusual things he could do to Nikko with the popsicle. After, Calvin cleared his throat quietly and forced himself to focus on the papers in front of him. When Nikko chuckled softly, Calvin shot him a glare he hoped Nikko would still feel next week.

Nikko’s shoulder shook a little as he laughed again, silently this time. He took advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the papers as he sucked in the popsicle, then slid it slowly back out, dragging its tip over the top of his tongue. When Nikko pulled it from his mouth, his lips glistened and were stained with the bright red juice. He grinned wickedly and raised one eyebrow.

Calvin coughed and pulled a sheet of paper over. He stared at the symbols until he was positive that he would see the glyphs in his sleep that night. He flipped open his laptop and began tapping the keys, watching as the symbols turned and slid and waited as the pieces started to fall into place. He chanced a quick look over the top of the screen and groaned. Across from him, while everyone else was working to understand the glyphs, Nikko was still enjoying his popsicle as he closed his eyes and slowly rotated it between his lips. He looked up just then and locked eyes with Calvin, eyes twinkling with mischief.

Calvin mentally checked through the list of things he could do to Nikko later as he tried to decide what he to do for revenge.

When the headache made his eyes feel as though they were going to be clawed out again, Calvin saved his work and shut down his lap top. He made his apologies to Solomon and slipped out. If he could just take some aspirin, drink a gallon of water and take a nap, he just might make it through the day. He slid the hotel's keycard through the lock and opened the door. Inside was cool darkness. He pulled his shirt over his head as he crossed the room. When he reached the bed, he sat on the edge and toed off his shoes before flopping back with one arm over his eyes.

At some point in the afternoon, he'd crawled under the covers and sprawled out. He rolled onto his back and was almost asleep again when he heard the door snick softly shut. He sensed more than felt when someone slid onto the bed with him. One hand on his hips, weight on his thighs and cool breath on his stomach. He opened his eyes, looked down, and smiled.

"Hey," Calvin said quietly. He sat up on his elbows, and was relieved to notice the headache had been reduced to a dull throb.

A kiss, still cool from the popsicle earlier, is gently placed on his belly. "Headache better?" Nikko asked quietly. “You looked like hell earlier.”

"Hey! I had your help,” Calvin reminded Nikko. He flattened his hands over Nikko’s slim hips, rubbing gentle circles with his thumbs. “It’s getting there. Were you planning to help me with that?"

More cool air as Nikko chuckled and slid up Calvin's body, kissing all of his ticklish spots along the way. Calvin did his best not to squirm and when Nikko stopped, they were nose to nose.

Nikko grinned wickedly and waggled his eyebrows. He sat up and brought up the hand he’d carefully kept out of sight. He was holding another popsicle. “They say ice can help a headache you know,” he said quietly.

Calvin’s breath caught as he watched Nikko slowly slide the popsicle into his mouth, his lips forming a moist “O” as he did. Calvin swallowed roughly. “What did you have in mind?” he asked, dark eyes never leaving Nikko’s mouth. All thoughts of the revenge he’d vowed earlier were gone, blown from his mind as the popsicle slid in and out slowly.

Nikko chuckled and slowly licked the popsicle from one end to the other. Calvin’s gaze locked onto Nikko’s lips as he licked them with the tip of his tongue. He sat back on his knees, resting his weight on Calvin’s thighs and seemed to consider this a moment before answering. “I’m not sure,” he answered finally.

“Decide fast, Nicholas, you’re getting heavy.”

Nikko sucked on the popsicle and leaned down, pulling one of Calvin’s nipples into his mouth and biting it. He chuckled when Calvin made a little noise and looked up.

“Do you still want me to decide fast?” he asked. He sucked on the popsicle a moment, and then swirled his tongue around the other nipple before looking up again. “Or would you rather I went slowly?”

Mmm, that was yummy!

I don't think I've even heard of this fandom before, but I was scrolling through the most recent picfor1000 entries looking for fandoms of interest and the icon of Eric caught my eye and I thought "I've seen that pic on my flist!" and then noticed the post was yours. :-)

Eric Balfour is pretty. As are other guys doing naughty things to him with a popsicle.

1 - Your icon absolutely rules.

2 - Thank you. I'm glad you said SOMEthing. :D I think because it's such an unknown fandom that no one has read it, which is fine. I expected that.

Mmmm Eric. He is INDEED yummy. ;-)

You can find out more about the show here:
http://directorium.org/VeritasTheQuest

It really is quite fun and slashy. If you're interested in seeing it, there's only 13 eps and we can work something out. You don't have to be deprived of the joy that is Veritas. :)

I would... not object to seeing this show :-) That's an awfully pretty-looking cast and I know the show gets the Den seal of approval.

Ok, I started this, but I'm going to have to finish later. At home, when I'm not at work sitting at my desk in front of the entire world. That said, you are going to keep writing in the fandom, right? Because you really need to.

So it doesn't suck? Because that's what I worried about. (even the little bit that you did read) I've been so tired it was finish for the sake of finishing but I didn't trust my judgement at ALL beyond the obvious grammar. lol

I've read bad slash at work, and not cared. Good stuff, that I don't read at work. And when I could tell it was going to a hot place, I stopped. Yeah, it's good.

I'll pimp it out later, when I get home. :)

ok, really, it doesn't suck. Nikko does though. And Calvin loves it. sorry, that was slightly off topic. But we need to know more about Nikko sucking, and licking. Really. We need to know more.

Very nice and cool! For some reason Clavin reminds of Milo.

In some ways, I can see the Milo/Calvin thing. And have actually thought that. :D

Thanks sweetie!
