Any way you like it... (Dick)

[keegan]

Through New York the lights from shops and restaurants continued to flicker and dance against the dark of the night. But Keegan wasn't interested in shopping, not tonight, no tonight he was out for a drink and a fuck. His favourite bar, the all knew him in there, all welcomed him into their world, he was good for business. His footsteps were almost silent on the ground and though it was a fairly chilly night he had ventured out in just a shirt, the open buttons revealing his pale white throat and collar bones. His dark hair was tousled from his fingers running through it and his eyes were shining their piercing green as he entered the bar, scanning the area for any potential one-night-stands. His eyes didn't settle on one he particularly liked at first glance, though he did certainly get some admiring looks from men and women alike as he strolled to the bar and took a seat.

He licked his lips, eyes still searching the room, wondering if he was going to hit the jackpot tonight. He knew he could be elsewhere, he had been invited to a cocktail party by a rather intimidating woman with a reputation for preying on younger men. He had made his excuses to get away but he doubted she would mind if he were to turn up now. He repressed a shudder, women certainly weren't his thing and older, slightly crazy ones even less.
His long fingers tapped on the bar as he waited for his drink to arrive. The clock was ticking, all he needed was a flirt, a fun time... He had friends he could call for a fuck, but he wanted some new blood to try out.

[grayson]

The bar was pretty slow tonight, though Dick didn't know if that was just the bar or if it just wasn't busy. He sat on a stool at the counter, talking to a woman that sat next to him. She was apparently celebrating her 21st birthday with some friends, had left the club to get some air, and then walked over here to get a drink. She didn't interest him as he'd first hoped she would, but he had to be polite and offer her a drink and a conversation after calling her over. And with his attention on her and no one else interesting in this bar, he was beginning to despair that he'd ever find someone for the night. Maybe he would have to call up one of his fuck buddies.

Dick glanced up as the door to the bar opened. Through his shades (which he wore to not bother with paparazzi and fangirls tonight), he watched the man that had just entered. He smiled. Perhaps his night had just taken a turn for the better. He turned back to the girl beside him. "Don't you think it's time you went back to the club? I'm sure your friends are missing you, and are worried about you." The girl, who he didn't even know a name for, looked disappointed, but agreed and left. Dick ordered himself another drink, picking it up when it got there and walking over towards the man that had just entered.

Taking a seat next to him, he turned towards him and grinned pleasantly. "Looks like we're both here alone tonight. Would you mind if I joined you?"

[keegan]

Keegan had been watching the man for a few moments, rather enjoying his lovely figure and growing increasingly annoyed with the woman who was blocking his view. He had almost given up on the handsome man when the girl moved away looking rather upset and he stood. Keegan watched with a raised eyebrow as the man came and sat next to him.
'I take it the girl wasn't to your taste, and please, do have a seat, it would be my pleasure...' Ahh this man was even better looking close up, Keegan was having to resist the urge to lick his lips and jump him right there. He took a sip of his drink, peering at the man from under his eye lashes before he extended a cold hand to the man.
'Keegan Slate, nice to meet you...' He almost purred the words delighted to have found such a catch so quickly.
One of his hands was still around his glass, drawing comfort from the coolness of the ice cubes suspended in the liquid. They would never melt, not while he was drinking it anyway, he didn't like to let his ice melt, the point of it was to keep the drink cool.

[grayson]

Dick looked the man over as he answered. From his hair to his body, he was a looker. Yes, he'd certainly found himself a good catch. He grasped the hand in his own, shaking it. "Pleasure to meet you, Keegan. Name's Richard, but you can call me Dick." He could tell a lot about the man just by shaking his hand. For instance, the slight calluses meant he did some kind of work that involved his hands, but didn't work very hard at it. The sheer temperature of it that couldn't have come from the weather outside, suggested that he was a bit more than he seemed. A meta or mutant of some sort.

Not like it made a difference. Dick had never been a picky man.

He let go and pulled his hand away, returning it to his own drink. "And the girl I was just with? She was only here for a drink. I would rather be in the company of someone more interesting." Dick smiled at him again, running a hand through his hair. "What about you? No one in here to your taste?" he asked, gesturing around the bar, now completely flirting with him.

[keegan]

The heat of the man's hand in his own sent jolts through him. This was part of the wonderful delight that was sex, the heat of the other person's skin against the cool of his own. He had been told it was rather pleasurable for the other party too, which always made him glad, sex was about two people, he took what he wanted and made sure they got what they wanted. Otherwise he'd just stay at home and jack off, pleasuring someone else was surely part of the fun?
'Mmm? I'm flattered to be chosen then, it must be hard to get your affections so easily...'
He followed Dick's eye line to the other people around the bar, his eyes stopping on all of them, assessing them.
Eventually he turned back to Dick, eyes flashing white for a half second as the temperature of the other man's glass fell to the chilled state it had arrived in.
'Quite simply? None of them are as delightful as you...These men are so...dull.'
He smirked at Dick, taking another sip from his glass, staring the whole time at the man's rather kissable lips.

[grayson]

Dick chuckled as he watched him through his shades. "Not as hard as you may think, but I do have some standards at least." He didn't miss the flash of white across Keegan's eyes and he raised his brow in brief confusion before fitting some pieces together in his mind. "But I would venture to say you're not the only lucky one tonight. You're quite a looker yourself."

His own smirk flickered across his face as he noticed where the man's eyes were drawn to. "Unfortunately, there are a frightfully small number of people who know how to be exciting or enjoy themselves." Dick grinned then. "Luckily for me, it seems as though I found one of those people."

Dick took his glass in hand and immediately noticed how cold it still was. He smirked again, raising it to his mouth to take a drink. He licked the salt, that had previously been on the edge of the Margarita, from his lips, and looked back to Keegan. "That's a neat little trick you've got there." The inflection in his voice said he knew it wasn't a trick; that in fact he knew exactly what it was.

[keegan]

Keegan dipped his head slightly to the man, as a thanks for the compliment. It was only polite after all. "Don't worry, I'm always up for some...fun" He smiled across at the man, his eyes glinting with lust. Dick was exactly his kind of guy, smooth and happy to play with the situation...He was unafraid and Keegan liked that.
He tilted his head slightly, surprised that Dick had noticed the temperature of the glass, most didn't. Most of the men he picked up were slightly suprised by the coolness of his skin, but never noticed or questioned any of his other....oddities. He smiled at the man and nodded. 'Ahh yes, it does come in rather useful sometimes.' He knew that Dick was on to him, but it didn't really bother him, it wasn't a big secret for Keegan that he was a mutant. Everyone had their secrets, he was more interested in this incredibly handsome man before him.
His eyes still focused on his lips, watching as Dick licked them, wishing he could be doing that right now. Damn this guy was so good.

[grayson]

"Mutant or Meta?" Dick asked, genuinely curious. After the merging of the worlds, still drawing a blank on how that happened but that wasn't his concern at the moment, he had yet to engage in alternative ways any of those from the alternate one.

Of course, knowing the answer to that wouldn't really change his mind in the plans he had for the rest of this night. "Mind you, it makes no difference to me, I'm just asking out of curiosity's sake." Maybe after the two of them got busy between the bed sheets, he could stick around a while after and learn more about the other world.

Dick mentally grimaced. Ugh. That sounded like such a Batman thing to do! Scratch that, he'd just ask him some other time. Sex was all he needed right now. He definitely did not want to start turning into Bruce. He shook his head, waving a hand. "Ah, sorry, you don't have to answer that. I was letting the more inquisitive part of my mind out for a moment there. But, I do believe we have more important things to talk about than the source of your powers." He gestured between the two of them. "Namely, your place, or mine?"

[keegan]

Hmm, this guy was rather forward with his questions, not that Keegan minded at all. You had to trust a guy you were about to fuck, at least a little bit. He was about to reply when Dick spoke again, and Keegan looked up in almost delight. Ahh, this was getting excellently back on course, perfect timing. Keegan could happily have dragged the evening out were it necessary for the seduction, but with both of them so eager there was little point wasting money on drinks when they could be happily fucking.
He took his last sip of his glass, pushing it away from him on the table with a few notes for his and Dick's drinks, before standing, one hand on the man's waist, directing him toward the door.
'Hmm...It depends on whether you like the cold or not, sweetheart.' His hand slid beneath the man's shirt, his cool fingers grazing over Dick's hips and he held in a half gasp of pleasure at the warmth of his skin. 'Oh, and for the record,' He murmered into his ear as he lead him from the bar 'Mutant.'

........................

It was the morning light that woke him. It was streaming through the gap in his curtains and falling across his face. He awoke to the sensation of warmth though, not from the sunlight, but from the body next to his. They were both naked, not something surprising to Keegan, this was how a fair few of his mornings started like this. He found the heat radiating from Dick's body rather wonderful against his skin, deliciously human, like in sex, it only heightened the experience for both partners. The poor guy must be getting a bit chilly though, the combination of Keegan's icy skin and the coolness of the apartment couldn't be good for him, but he had the most of the covers so...

Keegan let out a deep breath, that had been a good night, he had to keep this one around, he was so much fun. His normally immaculate flat had been torn apart as the fucked in every place possible culminating in the bedroom where they had eventually curled up together, drifting into a deep sleep.
And now he found himself staring at the attractive man's body next to him. His fingers reached out and grazed over Dick's bicep and he leaned forward and pressed a small kiss to the man's shoulder. The heat of his body against the cool lips was enough to drive Keegan to distraction and for a moment he considered begging this man to move in and fuck him whenever possible...

[grayson]

Something new and quite unusual was what Dick woke up to that morning. Oh, he knew he would find himself in another man's bed. He remembered going home with Keegan from the bar, fucking on all available surface, and then falling asleep on his bed. It wasn't the sunlight, he usually woke up to that every morning. And it wasn't even the sheer chill of the room. Growing up in a circus meant there were no heaters to protect from the cold at night or in winter. Even after becoming Bruce's ward, the temperatures he was forced to patrol in as Robin kept up that resistance.

No, it was the fact that he was the one being woken up by his partner. Instead of waking up before them, and leaving before the other knew. Damn. That must have been one good fuck last night, to make him sleep this long.

He turned his head to the side, as he was laying on his stomach, and opened his eyes to look at Keegan, his mutant lover of last night, who was lying just as nude beside him. "Morning," he greeted, charming smile slipping onto his face even though it was this early in the morning. "That was an.... incredible night."

[keegan]

He felt the other man shift under his fingertips and gave a small smile as he rolled over, he had forgotten quite how good looking his partner was. The covers had gathered around their waists, and his eyes traveled over the pale back on the man his hand slipping down off his arm to run down it before the voice of last night's lover brought his eyes back to that lovely face with a lovely smile.
'Hmm...Oh I am glad you enjoyed it to, I havn't had it that good in a while.' His voice was husky and grated at his dry throat a bit, his tongue flicked out to lick his lips, remembering the fun they'd had the night before.
His fingers were still resting on Dick's hips, but he barely noticed them anymore as he pushed his body up so he leaned on his elbow, head resting against a pale, long fingered hand.
His body was still aching slightly, all over, he was pretty sure he had a fair few love bites on his body and some scratches, he was almost certain that Dick would have a few of his own, he tried not to look too pleased at that thought, instead he schooled his features to a pleased smile as he looked down at the man.

[grayson]

Dick chuckled. "Well, I'd say since I slept the night through here, it was a damn good one. It's been a while since I was actually worn out after sex." He gave a small wink, stretching out slightly on the bed. His eyes traveled over Keegan's body as the other moved to sit up a bit, lingering over the bite marks and scratches he had left. He chuckled again. No doubt it matched his own chest and back. Just a few more marks to add to the scars already littering his body, from other night encounters of both kinds, work and personal.

More used to extraneous activities, days on end of constant patrol and training and fighting with Batman being proof of that, his own body was not feeling the effect of last night. It also helped that he was naturally more flexible than most people. In fact, he felt quite refreshed, another feeling he wasn't used to getting when he snuck away from his one-night stands. He was starting to contemplate getting Keegan's number, so he could call him up and visit for another fuck sometime. He only had a couple of those that he bothered to keep around.

An eyebrow raised at the other man. He took in the husky voice and the lingering fingers on his hips. "Don't tell me you're already wanting to go another round. Didn't get enough yet?" he teased.

[keegan]

His grin widened at the man's words 'Ahh...I am glad for that, it was nice to wake up to such a wonderful sight this morning so I'm certainly not complaining.' His long fingers tapped over his lips as though he was lost in deep thought, when in reality he was remembering the burning heat of Dick's skin pressed against his from the night before. He pulled himself away from those thoughts and looked down at the lover he had so enjoyed the company of last night. He could see a fair few bruises on the skin, one on his shoulder with scratch marks next to it, on that thought he matched Dick's wink with a smirk.

His lips parted and he let out a low chuckle glancing down, as though slightly embarrassed.'Circumstantial evidence should suggest I got enough already...' He gestured to his body and the state of the room from where they had fucked. 'But look at you, can you blame me for enjoying that body?' He smirked and lay down again, this time slightly close to Dick so the sunlight wasn't directly in his eyes.
