Apparently, Orion’s brain was in a “have you tried turning it off and then back on again?” mood. A small groan would resound from him as we when Nik collapsed on the bed, but he didn’t move readily. It was only when Nik shifted closer, wrapped his arms around him, and snuggled him that he seemed to come back to himself again. “Mmmmm babe…” he echoed a blinking slowly before holding Nik’s gaze. Shifting a bit, he wrapped both arms around Nik and kissed him softly. Mmmm yeah that was nice, and he was moving to feel down Nik’s back again and up his shirt if he was still wearing it. “You get all your items put away?” He wouldn’t give Nik a chance to speak before kissing him a bit harder.

"Alm-mmmmmmmmm." He moaned into that kiss and shifted his hands up Orion's chest, up to lace in his hair and lightly pull at it to pull him deeper into the next kiss.
...What was the question? It took Nik a while to remember, but when he did-- and Orion gave him a moment to catch his breath-- he finally answered, "Almost everything." He smirked. "Kinda ran out of steam. Could use some help doing something about these pesky clothes though...~" Before Orion could respond, he pulled him back into a snare of kisses. Oh, Orion thought this was gonna be easy? Where would be the fun in that~?

Those kisses were getting sloppier and sloppier by the second, and Orion didn’t need to be told twice about Nik’s clothes. It’d take a little bit of extra squirming and a lip break, but he’d pretty quickly pull that shirt off him entirely, letting his hands feel over his chest and sides. Shifting a bit, he rolled them a bit to nibble at Nik’s neck and down to his shoulder. The touches became a little lighter, a little more teasing now and again. If Nik wasn’t going to make it easy, Orion wasn’t going to either. It… may have been too fun to torment him like this anyway.

Mmmf.. Nnnnmmmm? No, no he wasn't supposed to tease back, and he certainly wasn't supposed to do a better job than Nik. Or maybe Nik was just feeling needier than anticipated at the moment. The whimper that escaped him would certainly lend credit to that theory. "Teeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase....." he complained, then broke down and gave in, stripping the remained of his own clothes. "Mmmm, now c'mere, there's one more thing I need to put away...~" >;3
...There was something important Nik was gonna do tonight. There was, he swore. But right now he was in such a dense fog of utter bliss and all he wanted to do was fall asleep in his amazing boyfriend's arms.

At some point in all of this, Orion would get comfortable enough to fall asleep for realzies— which led to a ten-hour nap that he guessed one could call sleep if they tried hard enough. When his mind saw fit to associate with his body again, he’d become aware of several pains all over only one of which was the tattoo. “Ow fuck—“ Orion shifted some, reaching to slap the night stand a couple of times before he found his glasses. Pulling them on, he’d blink owlishly at the world around him for a couple of seconds before flopping back down again. “Babe?”

Mmmm... Nik wanted to doze right off but he couldn't. He... He knew he had plans and if he just sat up and cleared his head a second he'd figure it out but... maybe.. in a minute. Mmmmmmnother minute. He'd... he'd...
He'd wind up falling asleep for an hour before waking with a start. Ah! Orion was asleep, good, good, he was so glad. He felt a little more alert after napping him-- RIGHT. Right he meant to--... He... kind of felt weird taking this while Orion was out? And worried about doing something wrong despite very clear instructions, but... Getting up and digging out the Chroma Cookie Orion had gotten for him, he'd sit down and read over everything once more by phone light before biting in.
When Orion awoke, Nik was still passed thoroughly out. The force of the flop against the bed and the 'babe?' stirred him only slightly, but he'd just whimper-- a softer, higher whimper than usual-- and mumble-- in a similarly higher tone-- "I feel like death warmed over..."

Oh that sucked… “Maybe a lil too rough there, heh…” Rolling over, Orion wrapped both arms around— ?!??!?! Orion jerked before he had a chance to stop himself. Both arms pulled back. Both hands extended slightly. His mind raced to put pieces together— and still hit a Uhm, what? Wall right after.
“Nik???” Well… from the white hair and general still-Nikkian-physique this was clearly Nik now that he looked at him, but— “Fuck— Oh…” As his brain caught up with the rest of him, Orion put two and two together fast enough. Oh, oh that was… Oh, he took it then? “You…. Might be having some side effects babe?” he asked slowly after.

The alarm in Orion's voice quickly pervaded Nik's consciousness and had him panicking too, scrambling to semi push himself up or at least kind of prop himself on his arms and??? O--oh that--... The movement of his chest caught his attention, and he looked down--? A-ah, that................. was going to take a lot more getting used to than he actually expected b-but... He was glad he hadn't... grown more, or anything.
As Orion settled, Nik... realized that was probably just a reaction to seeing him and.. sat up to cross one arm in front of his chest, half to cover it and half to rub his opposite shoulder. "I-I'm.. sorry? I guess I could've waited but I--" He did say he wanted to in the next night or two. "....Do I...... look okay......?" He'd still have to see for himself fully, but...

“I..” Orion blinked slowly and shook his head. “It’s fine I just… didn’t remember…” he answered reaching up to rub one side of his face and try and get his brain back on track. It didn’t help that the train was running sixty-two hundred miles an hour and trying to jump every rail possible, though. At the question, he pulled back, a bit, refocusing more on Nik again. Yellow eyes flickered over hi— them?— slowly before settling on their face again. “You’re cute…” came the abruptly unspecific but honest answer. “I mean…” What else was there to say about this?

Heh. Nik was tempted to be mildly upset Orion could forget something like this, but he'd dozed off and forgot for a bit last night, too, hm? Ah... he... hoped he made the right choice. He.. guessed it was reversible; he'd considered stuff like this before and always decided knowing for sure wasn't worth the hassle if he was wrong until that had become the case. But??
....... If Orion was going to give a two word response, though, that was probably one of the best he could give. A tinge of color rose to Nik's cheeks, and a quivering smile formed. He wanted to be Cute. So, so badly. He...
Leaned in and lightly kissed Orion's lips, then... groaned slightly. "Still kinda feel like death.." he mumbled, then weakly chuckled. "Kinda tempting to just take your word for it but I guess I should try to get up and find a mirror..." He'd... slowly shift toward the edge of the bed, dragging the blanket still curled over his shoulders with him. And.................. and..... "Eheh babe? I... feel like my legs are gonna snap if I stand on my own. Could you maybe....?"

A small, weird laugh escaped from Orion. “Maybe I should be the one to get you a Cofagrigus…” he chuckled weakly stretching slowly, feeling every muscle in his arms tense and relax again. At the prompting, however, he was quick to roll off his end of the bed and stand— Ow, he damn— and walk over to Nik’s side of the bed. On first thought, he considered lifting him up with one arm, but some part of him realized he wouldn’t make it very far that way (not that the bathroom was that far away heh). Shifting a little to kneel back in front of him instead, he glanced back. “Here, princess, your horse is a green haired weirdo.” He snickered softly. This was very much a piggy back ride if his writer had ever saw one, but here he was, apparently.

Pfff. "Maybe." Jazz had personally warned Nik he was gonna feel like this, though, and Jazz's overall vitality and satisfaction assured him it would pass. It just... didn't feel like it right now ha.
As Orion knelt down before him, Nik stared a minute before snort-laughing. "An adorable green-haired weirdo~♥" But he'd gladly take it, draping his arms and in turn the blanket over Orion's shoulders. ...The front of his body pressing against Orion's back was.. actually not as jarring as his chest, but still caught his attention. This was.. all perfectly expected, but he supposed... In general, he had a tendency to know things in theory but not actually process them until they were happening. Like, say, how he was going to be in disbelief that they really owned a house for at least a month or two, heh.
But how nice it felt to be pressed against Orion's warm skin certainly didn't change. (It might in time, as his hormone levels finished readjusting and his own skin grew slightly softer and more sensitive, but right now, particularly this tired, he didn't notice a difference.) He sort of closed his eyes for a few seconds as Orion carried him, and didn't want to open them when they stopped, heh...
He would, though, and as he slipped down carefully to his feet, keeping hold of Orion's shoulder for balance, Nik would slowly turn his attention to the mirror. He looked over his reflection, at least once his eyes decided to cooperate and adjust, and then... hesitantly pulled the blanket away to get a better look? H-he... couldn't imagine why he felt so embarrassed doing this. Perhaps just nerves.
But as he finally got a good look, his face would slowly redden, which actually just kind of increased the impression he got, which turned into a cycle. "I--...." he squeaked. "I.. actually...? do, feel... pretty cute......?" Even if he kind of wanted to immediately bury his face against Orion after admitting that. It... was not an entirely new feeling, but to feel it to this level just from crawling out of bed, with no effort toward achieving it?? That-- probably was 100% new and Nik didn't know how to handle that just yet.

Staring in the mirror at his and Nik’s reflection, Orion realized several things at all once. As Nik pulled the blanket off, Orion shifted a little to look more directly at them. His lips quirked as Nik spoke and he shifted to wrap both arms around them again. “See? Told you,” came the automatic assurance. Even then, having Nik’s body pressed up against his was ... yeah it was weird heh, not too bad though, right? Right. A thought occurred to him, however, and Orion eased up some again. “Ah, uh…. Preferred pronouns?” he asked after a moment. Nik was still Nik to him, but-- but yeah, heh.

Nik almost melted against Orion as he offered that reassurance, but then came that question. "... I... I don't know?" Nik's legs were feeling pretty wibbly, though. "You.. wanna help me back to bed first?"
Blanket grabbed up, princess and weird green horse would return to the bedroom, and Nik wrapped up nice and warm again. "Mmmmm~" This bed wasn't as supportive as Orion's, but was softer, and Nik sort of just.. wanted to fall back asle-- right, right, Orion had asked... right.
"I don't know, though.. I'm... I might need some time to see what feels right...?" Yeah... That was probably true regardless, but that didn't really change the need for an answer for right now, did it... "I like.. not being a boy or a girl, so.. 'They' is.. kind of nice? ... Mia's tried it a few times lately, but.. it's also.." Nik shifted a bit, trying to place the words. "I definitely prefer it from strangers, but with people I know and you two especially it feels a little weird. I don't know if it actually 'feels wrong' or I'm just not used to it though."
... Mmm... Nik stifled a small yawn. "I still wanna be your boyfriend and I wanna be your princess. But then..." No don't yawn again stop that. "Alex is family and I love him-her-them but that, heh. I'm pretty sure their pronouns are 'literally whatever' with me and Dash but I still always worry I'm gonna get it wrong one of the few times it matters..? And I.. don't know, maybe I'm more like them than I give myself credit for, but I'm also.. a lot more self-conscious if that wasn't obvious." It.. did not take a lot to be more self-conscious than Alex but that wasn't really the point here, ha. It was that Nik didn't want to make anyone else have that 'oh no am I gonna guess wrong' feeling and having just one answer would prevent that.
"So I feel like I should 'just' pick something but?? Fuck I dunno... ... I don't guess you have a preference? Like.. if I decide later it feels wrong I'll let you know but just... help me decide right now, maybe?" Nik.. wondered how much of that came out a little bit slurred or mumbled and probably shouldn't be vaguely monologuing when this tired but there were thoughts to be worked through aloud so.

Fluidly, Orion took Nik to bed folding up right against them(him?) right after. As Nik spoke, however, Orion worked the words over in his head. My boyfriend and my princess, heh. Mine— C’mon brain don’t get possessive now. Heh. Ok, yeah, focus. As he did so, however, he found himself going over what he knew of Nik and what he knew of himself and… “Why don’t we just… cut out the pronouns entirely and I just call you my dear,” he answered slipping around to kiss Nik’s cheek. “My darling, my babe, my fae…” This was not an answer, and he knew that, but here he was anyways.
