For all Ed's effort to gently ease him into things his touch is raw and electric, lighting up his brain like a slot-machine - and he moans faintly into Ed's lips, tensing as those skimming fingers find his fly and tease it open. And when Ed palms him and sends a snap of adrenaline through his spine - his hand shockingly hot through his briefs- , he realizes just how little power and money mean here, with Ed. He stares, helplessly, barely breathing under Ed's long, focused look. Under the weight of a gaze that peels him back and leaves him trembling and keenly naked even while still dressed.

Somewhere along the way he finds his voice, finds the cheekiness to try and challenge the claim Ed's staking on him even while his pulse sharpens between his legs.

"I hate to burst your bubble," he clears his throat, swallowing, "but this had nothing to do with you."

Had.

It doesn't take much for the sureness of Ed's grip or the rasp of fabric on flesh with every shifting movement to get to him; he feels precome leaking hot, blotting his underwear, a misplaced twinge of embarrassment with it. The flush staining his neck deepens. He's never been seen like this before.

"And then what?" He presses, escaping Ed's look - any hint of judgment on his face - by closing his eyes. He breathes through the heavy ache twisting his guts. "Seeing as you seem to have given this some thought."

Ed might be waiting for him to give in, he's realizing, to squirm and needily buck his hips for more. It isn't so different, this, from any other power-game; only it's between friends, at least. More strange than fun, for the moment.

He curves a gentle hand around the side of Ed's neck.

Breakfast - not the answer he was expecting but a nice idea, one that almost normalized the idea of waking up tangled in each others' arms, warm and rested and aching with a different sort of hunger. But it could wait.

The brush of Ed's lips is all he needs for now, the way it fills the hollowness in his chest with a glowing, giddy magic he feels somehow too young and too old for. He smiles, helplessly, into the kiss, eyes still shut when Ed pulls away to talk.

"Well..." A soft stuttering breath slides out of him - the beginnings of a laugh, almost - when Ed's hand closes a little tighter around him. "I'm here, aren't I?"

He licks his lips, quiet and expectant. His lashes tremble faintly.

"You are allowed to move, by the way."

The tongue-flick is more startling than the sweep of Ed's thumb over raw nerves and he rears his head back, eyes blinking his open to the sight of Ed's smile. Thankfully, he isn't given long enough to decide whether being licked offends him or not because they're bumping noses, chins, and kissing again - a slow burn, a gentle wearing down of his defenses - and all is as it should be again. He digs his fingers lightly into Ed's skin, stroking him with his thumb.

"It's a start..." A beat. "Although I would not be opposed if you were to slip your hand in." There's a nervous flexing of muscles in his throat. "Hypothetically speaking, of course."
