This merry little haunt wasn't familiar to Nick, but the address was correct, for what it was worth. There weren't many buildings with penthouses intact, but Hancock had told him to show up here, so here he was. Honestly, as he came up the stairs, Nick wasn't entirely certain what to expect.

Was it a stash house? No, Hancock and he had a tentative understanding about chems. Nick didn't comment and Hancock didn't do them right in front of him if he could help it. It was about the best the synth could hope for, and a fair improvement on their previous arrangement of: nothing.

Was it a new settlement? Bit of a stretch but Evaris did have ecclectic moods.

Maybe he...Nick came up blank. He didn't have a clue or a chance in hell of divining one, so he shouldn't waste the breath (figurative) trying to hash it out. He just stuffed his hands in his pockets, kept his revolver at the ready in case this locale wasn't secure yet, and trudged up more flights of stairs than he cared to count.

At the top he stepped out of the stairwell and through time. One second he was in the Commonwealth and the next he was standing on fine plush carpet in Boston, MA. This place was an absolute time warp, like walking into a photograph, and Nick was entirely thrown as he let the door behind him close and cautiously wandered in.

No turrets...so that was a start.

Cameras? Didn't spot one, didn't see any mics either but he was sure there were a few. This place had electricity and...was that hum an airconditioner?

"Where the hell am I?"

Yeah, thought so [ He can only grin with smug pride at his own skillful diffusion of any real tension before it could fully manifest. Yeah, dude. Calm your circuits. No one's expecting anything beyond lowkey, casual worship, and Nick's already proven he's exceptionally skilled with making the Ghoul see Outer Space.

The contrasting temperatures of Nick's hands over his shirt pull a long tattered sigh from the Ghoul's chest, lifting and sinking his ribs beneath the exploratory touch. His eyes shut and his head tips back a small fraction as he soaks in the pure tactile bliss.]


Well... guess I'm hopin' you do a little more than stare [ it takes some shifting of his weight for Hancock to be able to set his hands on his own buttons beneath the ruffles of his shirt. Perhaps in spite of his own eagerness, the Ghoul slows his pace and plucks open the buttons one by one. Sliver after sliver of skin greets the open air, until Hancock can peer down and watch exactly what Nick's hands look like, coasting along his torso. It looks good-- enough to cost him a few seconds before the next smart-ass thing tumbles out of his smirking mouth.]

Not that I could blame ya if that's all ya manage. I am pretty damn breathtaking, n'all

[ Almost everything Hancock does is a dirty trick, if he's thinking about it right. Bedroom antics are no exception. Still, hard to spin sinister plans with Nick touching him of his own accord, now. Bold, eager hands that make his skin prickle with the best kind of heat. The bizarre, completely inhuman contrast of them both is somehow strangely enchanting; metal and mutated-flesh, both somehow so tied up with the same lingering ribbon of humanity. ]

Tryin' make me blush? Not sure that's-- [ his voice catches slightly as Nick's hand wonders low, dipping dangerously below his navel.] --on the table, with my Ghoulish [ said like 'Girlish'] complexation.

[ He's caught between Too Many Desires again; wanting to melt onto Nick and kiss him until he can't breathe, wanting to shift his position and roll the back of his thighs against Nick's lap to eagerly prop open a thigh under the threat of those wandering fingers, and--

Well, he can do the thing that will take the least amount of time, first.]


Ya want me closer, huh? Alright...

[ He's moving again, shifting his weight until it's spread evenly across his own knees and Nick's lap. The way it lends him the freedom of motion to lift and drop his hips is largely frivolous-- but maybe it doesn't feel that way, to someone with at least a couple memories that should fall in line.

There's a notable amount of heat coming off of Hancock's bare chest as he drapes himself over his partner once more. His breath is too hot, too ragged all of the sudden against the Synth's ear; his hips rock through a subtle, but shamelessly lewd pantomime. Missing hardware? No worries-- Hancock will burn them both on the mere idea of what could be.

His loaded groan trails through the moments, so distorted it's almost not recognizable as the Synth's name. ]

[ Hancock's plenty familiar with just how dangerous an idea (just and idea) can be; one of the many tools he'll use to his advantage and this just seemed like the perfect play. He's still not doubting it, not even when the room unexpectedly flips around him. Maybe the Ghoul got a little into his own theatrics, with the infectious idea running up his own fever as well; so the sudden flip caught him totally by surprise.

He was about to say-- something more intelligible than nothing, but the next thing Nick says finally successfully knocks the language right out of the Ghoul, for at least a few seconds. It's an undeniable record scratch moment that leaves Hancock with his mouth hung open for a split second, staring up at those electric-yellow eyes like some liquid bliss just hit his bloodstream. 'Sweetheart'... he likes that off Nick's lips just as much as 'Johnny'.]


Y'alright? [ He finally realizes the heat clinging to the sheets is actually not coming from his own body and-- yeah, iron-hot is right. It doesn't hurt but it makes him realize he should, maybe, at least strip Nick off a bit before playing that particular tune. ] There I go, gettin' over-zealous again...

[ Ah, but, while he's here... Hancock sinks into the insanely plush mattress, lounging lavishly while sipping on the sight of Nick looming over him. Hot, disheveled, de-coated. Now it's Hancock's turn to take his time reaching for and fixing his own hand, just right, as though he doesn't have much better things to be doing with his hands. ]

Thought I might indulge ya [ Hancock come on it was very self gratifying ] Not that the views bad from where I'm sittin', either.

He doesn't know how hot he is xD

From: [personal profile] chem_break
[ It's not really being physically flipped onto his back that makes Hancock feel like the floor has swapped with the ceiling-- not that he's gunna spell it out, exactly; taking full advantage of the moments he can scramble to gather his thoughts, the Ghoul lets out a slow breath, attempting to level his breathing. His face does feel a little warm, but he knows it's definitely not a visible flush. Far as he knows there's only one way to make his face go red red.

And then Nick's mouth is just on the shy side of too-hot, like a dull knife's edge that had been under a tongue of fire. It startles and confuses Hancock's nerves in a damn delicious way; intense pleasure overcutting the softest suggestion (or idea) of pain. ]


Yeah, this ain't the sound'a me complainin'. [ At least his skin is too strong to go red from the heat-- a testament to how sturdy built the Ghoul is, how much punishment he can take without the barest hint of effort. In this case, it's only fair Hancock feel the results of the overheating he caused his reckless-damn-self. ]

Shit, is the light in one'a your eyes out? Is that cuz'a me? [ He would really and truly be more concerned if Nick wasn't-- well, still so attentively worshipping him. He trusts the Synth to be able to handle himself, but it's also a tick he hasn't noticed before, even with a keen eye for details. ]

[ Were the circumstances composed a little differently, Hancock would probably manage a greater amount of concern over his partner's glitchy eye; but Nick's so casual-smooth, talking easy as his almost-too-hot-mouth shapes the words against the Ghoul's skin. Jesus, and Hancock thought he had felt the heat on their first encounter. The sheets, his own clothing, his own body-- and then Nick so impossibly, inhumanly hot on top of him has Hancock sweating under his clothing but too spun up to crawl out of it.

His hands reel through the air and grab at nothing, just the emptiness at either side of Nick's head. The Ghoul aches to grab and cling and pull-- but he's more cautious of actually overheating the Synth than burning his own hands. Obviously the call had been close-- Hancock can't recall ever seeing the light go off behind one of Nick's eyes. ]


Guess I better dig it while I can-- not selfish enough to overheat ya just cuz I like when your mouth gets so damn hot

[ His fingers bite restlessly into the comforter at either side of his own head, because he has to hold onto something; his spine bends to appreciatively press upwards while Nick's mouth drifts lower down his chest. He likes holding the Synth's gaze, watching him watching, but he can't keep steady enough beneath that experimental press of teeth. ]

Don't you dare [ Once again between this and that Hancock finds himself balanced perfectly on the razor's edge between a growling command and a demanding plead. He's mildly surprised to hear his own voice compose quite like that-- a pretty rare occasion, not quite as common as a blue moon. ]

Not gunna happen [ Feels like a better take on the tone of his answer, the growling amendment coming off the hint of a sheepish smirk. ]

From: [personal profile] chem_break
[ If anything is weird and different, off the beaten path, Hancock is probably into it. Heat's not something he's dabbled with in the bedroom beyond more than a couple impulsive instances; and this-- and Nick leaves those other instances in the dust. His stomach twists into pleasure-pulsing knots under the Synth's mouth, the burn left in his flesh deliciously undefinable, the exact shade of thrill he spends so much time chasing down. ]

Think that's the only way it's happening, yeah

[ Miraculously, the Ghoul manages to prop himself up on one elbow, his free hand already diving, heavy and not quite clumsy, into the parted ruffles of his shirt and peeling down the flimsy fabric. The shirt, and his coat over that hang off of his shoulder, bare skin throwing off a more humid shade of heat. The way he's lounging grants a decent few of Nick unfurling the cinch of his flag-belt, and Hancock loses a moment, drowned and drunk in carnal appreciation. A sight he could get real accustomed to, so the moment clarifies.]

Knew I was right to call ya Slick, but jesus. Gettin' me outta my duds, two for two? Gotta be some kinda record.

OMFG DED xDDDDD

From: [personal profile] chem_break
[ Admittedly, his head starts to clear a few moments after the boots come off. Taking off his kicks is also pretty rare-- he doesn't even need to do it for sex, so it happens far less often than that. So uncommonly in fact that Hancock is mildly surprised, for a moment, by the fact that his left foot is missing its smallest toe. The blurry memories catch up after a few beats of nothing much, but the Ghoul doesn't care enough to chew on the details. Doesn't matter enough, especially not right the hell now.

Hancock practically climbs Nick like a tree at the invitation. Damn it feels good to be scooped up like he weighs nothing; it sure is swoony, this side of the dance move-- though maybe the Ghoul's still running too hot. Speaking of which, he huffs out another humid sigh of relief when given the chance to abandon his shirt.

Then his arms come back bare, and for a few ragged seconds his hands are grabbing and everywhere; on Nick's chest and around the cage of his ribs, on his back and down his spine and up his neck and down his hips-- the cautious inclination to keep his hands to himself, for at least a few merciful moments, gets overthrown by the sheer amped thrill of Nick's too-hot, not-quite-hot-enough tongue and teeth coasting back and forth in the staggering no man's land of his naked torso.

So he'll marvel, later, at how some beds actually have multiple sheets of fabric on them holy shit! Just one ratty blanket on a mattress on the ground is ritzy shit in The Commonwealth. This place is absolutely insane. This bed is insane. Nothing tops the metal-hot, fired-gun sting of Nick's mouth, though.

When the comforter catches his bare back, something in Hancock's brain knocks into place, and he dials back the zeal on his manically affectionate hands. They settle low on the Synth's hips, grasp not quite as brutal and tight as he's inclined to. ]


Guess I'm not doin' much to help cool ya off... that's my bad, Slick. You're so damn irresistible. Self control's not usually my jive.

Honestly not even fair dude is unreal

Nah, but I never heard your fans work so hard, either.

[ It's a devilish little jab, heavy with breathless appreciation. It's so satisfying, the ease they trade back and forth in moving one another; an unnaturally easy trust disguised in greed and desire. In similar but different ways, they're both pushing each other boundaries, while trusting the other not to overstep.

Nick's not quite hot enough to burn the Ghoul's hands, but almost. Hancock's running the Synth's mechanics not quite hot enough to ignite, but almost. ]


What, this ain't slow? For one thing, we both got pants. Categorically? Still foreplay

[ He watches Nick steal up one of his hands, hazy. The lazy graze of inhumanly hot friction down his skin is absolutely something he could get lost in, high on-- but the attention to the inside of his wrist puts a bit more of his voice into his soft pleasured growl. To the last statement Hancock almost laughs (dizzy, unhindered, audacious), is he serious right now? ]

Yeah nice try, wise guy. I'm not givin' you a cheat sheet. Not with how much you already got me sweatin'. You're a Detective, aincha? So go on, Detect.

[ It is an unabashed, outright dare. ]

Anything Adams' approved is usually good stuff~

Invitation? Nah. Flat out Dare. Surprise me

[ Upping the ante is another favorite impulse of the Ghoul's; one he's always riding to new heights and this is no exception. What he doesn't expect is for the execution to happen so fast. It's too easy to let his focus slide, melt and dissolve into the dangerously addictive burn of Nick's deliberate attentions at the tendon of his wrist. That's... new! Hancock has no previous experience to match it-- none of his previous lovers having quite the right combination of temperament and attention to detail to think of going for the Ghoul's wrists.

He's got no idea what Nick's going to do but he's ready to watch every single searing second. His grip on the Synth's hand is fierce, his free hand snaking craven up the center of Nick's back. A string of badly slurred cusses hiss through his teeth as he fights off the urge to nuzzle in close; he doesn't want to push Nick into the red anymore than he has, and it's an odd leash to put on his typically terrible self control.

The click of handcuff gears all too promptly answers Hancock's request; the Ghoul is certainly surprised. It only costs him a few stunned seconds while his mind reels to follow, and rolls between gear shifts. ]


Shit [ He sounds impressed and amused, enticed and enwrapped and skirting the far, distant shores off obsessed. ]... Yeah... gotta be the fastest anyone ever bull's-eyed one'a my requests. Breakin' all kinds'a records tonight, huh? [ he still plays insufferably cool, without the slightest hint of even playful distress from having lost the use of one of his hands. He's still got the other, for the moment, and he doesn't seem concerned with keeping it away from Nick, or not.

The one tell that gives him away is the speedy, insistent drum of his heart inside his ribs. ]

Probably could'a got both my hands strung up in one pair if ya asked; I'm turnin' into such a sucker for anything outta your mouth

[ The Ghoul's fingers twitch under Nick's touch, hinting gluttony for the sensation. He appreciates the moment for adjustment, but knocked for a loop, on his ass, ceiling-for-floor dizzy and off balance is exactly where he likes to be. He's a risk taker, a thrill seeker, but it's not just anyone he'd trust enough to make him tumble so close to something like real vulnerability.

Stripped, and cuffed to a pre-war bedframe, for example. But for Nick, with Nick, he's relaxed above thrilled, heart-hammering a newfound bliss to the tip of every nerve. The attentive, devoted bites to Hancock's wrist are pulling deeper and sharper breaths into his chest; the sensations piling in, pleasurably crushing his senses as they mount. ]


Jesus-- and Detect he did

[ The words tumble out because being a smartass is more familiar than witnessing himself unravel to this intense degree. It's not like the Ghoul doesn't have sex-- it not like he doesn't have good sex, even. But it's nothing like this. He can't even begin to stick meanings to why.

This time when Nick's mouth draws close to his throat, the Ghoul rolls his head to the side and brazenly offers his neck. The rattling of the cuffs is satisfying in the marrow of his bones; the sounds, but also the bite of the metal that will only bruise so hard as he struggles. But Hancock likes to struggle, likes the idea of wearing bruises like bracelets for days. ]


Guess I gotta be more careful... much as I like when it burns, can barely stand not touchin' you everywhere [ Hancock eagerly tangles their legs, a knee locking over the back of Nick's calf. He moves to shift, roll up against the Synth's body but the cuffs catch him half-way. He hadn't forgotten, but the sudden jolt knocks on odd sound from his throat, somewhere between a growl and a frustrated whine. The friction against the Ghoul's pelvis makes the stakes of his arousal painstakingly clear. ]

Justifiably indeed~

From: [personal profile] chem_break
Heh-- now you're the one playin' sweetheart. If ya wanna indulge my taste for heat, I got safer ways. Don't gotta burn up a fever just for little ol' me [ his eyes flash with the same kind of hunger as chemical fire ] unless that's a streak'a masochism I detect...? [ his head cants, perfectly the feral feline.

Oh, he's definitely learning some microsoldering. Three Guesses which mutual friend knows a thing or two about Robotics fucking Player Character Stats Bullshit Evaris. Actually the ever resourceful Vaultie had already been corralled by a very demanding Ghoul Mayor into teaching him how to make Robot Repair Kits-- the mechanical equivalent to a stimpak. Good use for fusion cells he's never gunna shoot, who knew? It doesn't seem like the right moment to drop the info though, not with the Synth feeding his fire on a trail of gasoline.

Miraculously he manages to shift out of the remainder of his clothing without getting tangled, trapped, or losing his footing. An impressive accomplishment, by how unsteady his limbs feel. It's so very alien to be completely stripped-- he can't even remember the last time he'd worn only skin and air. Even rough haphazard bathing tends to be done in rushed patches, cleaning where the need is greatest and leaving the rest for Later. There's never a need to remove everything, all at once.

Calling it a Need feels accurate now. He clenches his jaw and bites back the urge to repress the full-body shiver that climbs through him; it kicks up strange textures and patterns on his skin, tightening pours and blooming blood vessels in the remnant reaction of goosebumps.

Hancock's fiercely grateful for the kiss that swallows most of the eagerness in his groan; the sound jailbreaks from his throat when Nick's thigh slides against his dick and the friction is too, too addictive. Playing up the rock of his hips to purposefully drive Nick into a frenzy? One thing.

To rut against the synth's leg because Hancock's brain is too pleasure-fried for even an approximation of dignity is... another thing. There's a troubling lag when his brain insists he stop himself (from acting so poorly trained, at least) but then Nick's kissing him hard, and suddenly it's so much more important to grab and hold and pull with the one free hand Hancock has. The ghoul's grip eventually finds a familiar perch at the back of Nick's neck, clings there hard enough to make his own fingers ache. ]

[ A lack of a solid answer is still an answer in itself; something in Hancock's mind takes a hasty note; not that he could blame Nick for losing their thread of conversation when his mouth is otherwise occupied, but. An indulgent sadist's observations can be especially keen for signs of masochism, hidden even in silences and dodged replies.

Having found another comfortable-uncomfortable contradiction to reside between, Hancock finds his senses burning bliss off Nick's state of dress. The Ghoul both wants his partner stripped, and is much enjoying the fact that he's not. The imaginary imbalance implied is perfectly intoxicating. Makes it easy to steal a few more seconds allowing himself to grind for friction against the Synth's clothed thigh.

That, and the ravenous tone of their kiss would have been more than enough, within minor minutes, to blissfully break him. But Nick's got more deliberate attention in mind, and Hancock doesn't bother to swallow the gasp that takes the air out of their kiss as those fingers coil oil-smooth around his cock. It's almost as though Nick's somehow hijacked manual control of the ghoul's breathing; a tight upwards stroke makes his chest swell, and a downwards pump deflates his lungs on a thick throaty groan. ]


How are you so damn good-- [ at this, the end of his statement gets smothered by a heady, half-delirious hiss. The blood vessels, so near beneath the surface of Nick's stroking fingers, seem to fizzle with a rush of warmth as the ready-flesh twitches keenly against the Synth's palm. Later, Hancock might find some slight solace in mirthful complaining; Nick's painting a very poor picture of the ghoul's sexual stamina, here.]

From: [personal profile] chem_break
[ The impossibly slick drag up his dick is driving the drumbeat that speeds him towards crescendo, but the details of the symphony all sing in harmonious contribution to the music; it wouldn't feel so perfect if Nick wasn't watching his face, wearing just that expression, murmuring too wicked-soft.

The ghoul is glad for somewhere to grasp where he can back-burner the reminder to keep his strength restrained. It feels fantastic to grip almost as hard as he can and not worry about breaking the mood by snapping a vertebrae. Not like the Synth doesn't have limits, but they're all out of line with the frailty of mortals. It's not an excuse for outright sadism, but it's more than enough to entice the ghoul to be rough.

Smooth Sonova Bitch; probably could have tipped Hancock overboard with his voice alone. As much as habit and inclination kick at Hancock to say something, anything with just a scrap of wit, create some kind of parry, he absolutely cannot.

All he can do is arch and roar and thrash, thoughts shattered like a sugar-glass kaleidoscope. It's a stark rarity when John Hancock does what he's told, when he's told, to the precise letter. This is one of those rarities. This orgasm has sharper teeth and keener claws than the last Nick had inflicted upon him; it utterly rends the ghoul, relentless.

It's longer, louder, messier. Leaves the ghoul's throat raw and his heart unevenly jack-hammering inside his ribs. Thighs slack, slick; knees braced against trembling.

He goes boneless off the coattails of the aftershocks, no longer straining against the delightful control of the cuffs. He finally relents the grasp at the base of Nick's skull and his clumsy, heavy fingers trace down the approximation of his neck and spine.

He tries to speak. Can't, yet. Dissolves into a puff of self-depreciative chuckles that he's too beat to complete. What he can manage is affectionately thumping his forehead against Nick's, though. Jury's out on if he's got the proper coordination for a kiss; he still can't seem to catch his breath. ]
