Wednesday
By the time Senn and Elio reached Elio's bed, they were stripped from most of their clothes. By the time they managed to get there, they had successfully sneaked their way off school grounds, towards Elio's house on the other side of town, and to his bedroom while avoiding Elio's father and his brother Joseph.
It was quite the challenge, but so far, they made it without being caught on skipping school, or the fact they couldn't stop touching in any possible way.
Senn briefly wondered if Elio was out to the rest of his family, or if Joseph was the only one who knew.
The thought was brushed off quickly when Elio pushed him onto his bed, crawling on top of him while kissing his way up from leg to mouth. Senn couldn't possibly think of anything other than Elio's lips discovering every inch of his body, followed suit by his hands.
He couldn't possibly ignore what it did to his stomach to lay there, in Elio's bed, in nothing but boxer shorts. It felt far more intimate than he'd ever experienced with Julian—that he could remember. It'd beat any experience he had with Joyce, and Elio and he hadn't even gone past the kissing phase. Yet.
He chocked back a moan that wanted to escape the back of his throat so desperately, highly aware of the fact they weren't alone in the house. He didn't want anyone to ruin this, while his body was screaming for more for days already.
Elio seemed keen to find all his weak spots, never failing to smile with his lips against Senn's skin when he found one, before favoring the spot slightly longer than the rest of his body. His hands, in the meantime, had stopped Senn from using his. Or from stopping him—Senn wasn't sure why Elio was pinning him down while he was sucking on the skin just above his collarbone.
"Let me touch you," Senn muttered impatiently.
"Just enjoy."
"I'm not a fan of the Starfish."
Elio snorted, covering his mouth to stop most of the sounds. With that, Senn had one hand free, and he used it to tickle Elio long enough to have him roll over to get away. He crawled on top of Elio, pinning him down with a smirk.
"Gotcha."
"All yours, darling," Elio whispered, sending him a devilishly hot smirk of his own.
Senn dipped down, connecting their lips in a kiss that started sweet, but escalated in a matter of seconds. It turned into a hot but sloppy mess, in which they both started moving their hips.
Senn's body heated up as Elio moaned into his mouth, curling a leg around him. And suddenly he couldn't help but wonder;
"Are you top, or bottom?"
"Honestly, Senn?" Elio pulled a face, before covering most of his face with a hand. "Maybe I should've mentioned this sooner, but I'm not comfortable going all the way."
