moritat | there is always another au

It runs the risk of switching his victim again, but Jekyll grabs onto his arm before Hyde can grab onto anything himself... Without his glasses he needs a guide to make it safely out! And the younger brother isn't that mean. So they follow with Jekyll clinging, just in case he is that mean. There's a set of drawers with towels and bathing suits beside the tub for convenience, and for once Hyde plays the good host and caretaker to his blind brother and gets them out for everyone. Watching Jekyll fumbling with his buttons is annoying too, so despite rolling his eyes, he helps out.

Drawers on a balcony! At least he’s organized in this regard.

Paloma takes just as long to get ready as Jekyll’s blind ass does, but it’s because she’s forgotten the shirt he’d fetched for her to borrow. She could just walk inside for another, and for a moment the idea receives due consideration.

The thing is, she’s got this feeling it will come off no matter what. So, breathing in, the dress rolls up past her head and drops in a puddle of fabric. Discarding it leaves her very naked... and the tub not even on. Stupid! She sets about looking for the right dial while pretending not to notice her bare bottom sticking out.

Jekyll has the decency to cover his chub with a swimsuit, Hyde not so much. But it's Jekyll who first notices Paloma going in nude. "--Would you like to take my shirt!" Panic!

The other one is just content to stare at her rump.

The night is freezing, the tub water isn’t hot enough to sit in, and she shivers helplessly. Honestly, she thinks, staring at Hyde’s loud and proud dick, even if it does come off sooner than later...

“Yeah!” Donning it brings them all closer together, literally. His shirt hangs long and covers all pertinent bits for now. Shyness dominates her averted gaze. “Shouldn’t have charged out here, it’s freezing!”

Jekyll laughs a little, nodding. "You're meant to turn it on and let it heat up for a few minutes first." But it gives him a good opportunity to be smooth, after he gives her the shirt he wraps his arms around her to provide body heat. Hyde takes it as a challenge, who can give more heat?! Probably him actually, considering he's hot and bothered and radiating heat.

Extremely smooth, something to swoon over and make her heart flutter and coo. It gives a single loud thump before someone inserts himself and turns the beautiful moment into a ridiculous one, with their drastically different intentions.

Paloma squeaks, laughs awkwardly and locates the erection on her navel by taking it in hand. She otherwise clings to his brother. “I knew that! Desperate measures!”

If she's touching it clearly she wants to get something started right?? He rubs against her, Jekyll doesn't notice.

"Oh well, any minute now!"

“Uh,” Not according to plan but she should’ve seen it coming.

Paloma releases him just like that. She goes so far as to halfway turn and be sandwiched on either side, not front and back and leaving no one scorned. Wrapping their arms around her in this way seems safer. “Yep! Any minute, Harry. Edward.”

"Maybe you could check the temperature, Teddy?" Jekyll doesn't see what's going on down below, but he does see the awkward position Hyde's put them in. Distract him for a minute. Hyde reluctantly does so, leaving them to themselves for a little while.

"Yeah Should be good."

In the reprieve she loops her wrists behind Jekyll’s neck, smiling goofily. He’s much too handsome. Dreamy, she’s thought in the past. Well before he got her number at the gallery exhibition and before he proved to be as sweet as he let on.

“Edward knows, but leaving you behind is going to be just... rotten. I feel spoiled, getting to look at you.” And her chest aches madly.

"To look at me?" He laughs, shy. "I should think you have it backwards." He's pretty sure he's the lucky one getting to look at her. Not that he can make her out too well right now.

"I'm going to miss you an awful lot too." More difficult for him to get away to visit than it is for Hyde, too...

Informing Jekyll of his charming accent seems such a stereotyped, American thing to do that she shoos the impulse away. In its stead her lips find his clavicle to kiss him there, dry but warm and lingering.

“We’ve barely had a week. It’s not fair.” A child’s protest, but with her whole heart in defiance of an unjust turn. “I haven’t seen your work, or met the other people in your life. I’ve met Edward’s band...”

She could have her pick of charming rp accents if that's what she likes! "If only your flight were later, I would gladly invite you to see in the morning... As it is, you've met the most important ones. I have plenty of acquaintances and associates, but few I would consider terribly close."

"Yeah he's got what, two friends?"

"-I have more than enough, thanks!"

Laying her cheek against him allows Paloma to frown sternly at his obnoxious twin. Bully!!

"I hope I'm his friend, too!" The kind of friend whose breasts are two large and rather soft lumps of heat against his front. The kind of friend who's accepted him into her ass. That kind.

"Yeah, I was including us." Meaning no other friends...... Jekyll huffs at that cruel lie.

"We might not spend a lot of time together these days but we all have demanding work hours, and I have a demanding brother on top of it!" It's the best he can do to push back. A little too plainly true to be very mean.

Hyde will have a hell of a time arguing the point of his being a demanding personality, and a personality trait they aren't trying to crush besides. She laughs slightly in a whuff of air passing over Jekyll's neck.

"I like how different you two are, even if people expect you to be the same."

They clearly couldn't be happier. Jekyll's a little more subtle about it, but Hyde beams in pride. "I think we've worked pretty hard at that... Although really we are almost the same, huh?" He leans over to give Hyde a small smile.

"Speak for yourself." Yeah, they are.

Paloma sadly misses their wholesale happiness, tucked into Jekyll like she is. The significance of what she's said will have to hit her another day.

“Mmhmm? A doctor and a musician. Well... there’s stranger.” Caught up in whimsy and waiting for the water to heat and bubble, warmest nestled beside a bigger body and soaking affection up like—

Like they’ll say goodbye very soon.

Hyde tests the water and tentatively steps in, while Jekyll's happy to stand there despite the cold. "I dont mean that, I guess it's a bit difficult to describe... It's personality, or maybe thought is a better way to put it...?" Since he means traits they choose not to show out of shame and to make themselves stand apart from one another.

Hyde is in the proper spirit of hot tubbing while his brother and sort-of-girlfriend are hugging it out, unwilling to part and take the time to join him until badgered.

"Because you've always had that one person in your corner to trust?"

Sounds magical. She hurts, wanting it so bad.

"Mm, that's true too but what I mean is...there's a lot I can't show, outwardly. That would be more like Edward. And I think the reverse is true too, really only the two of us ever see it." He's nasty too, deep down! And Ed's a soft boy acting out.

Hyde grumps, but keeps his mouth shut, anyway. He'd try to deny it if Paloma didn't know better. "You guys gonna just stand there forever?"

Paloma somberly absorbs the confession, tucking it away for later puzzling.

"No! We're coming, just..."

She shifts in a half-circle within Jekyll's embrace, craning her neck to look directly into his eyes for a brief moment of longing. "I wish I could see more of what you meant, but having just a week, it, it isn't enough? I- I want to know more."

Her face feels hot. Too much?

Not at all! He blushes a little despite shaking his head. "You might have, a bit." You know, between the sexual tension and actual fucking.

"Hurry uuuuup." Hyde doesn't want to sit around talking about their feelings???? Fuck off. "He just wishes he wasn't such a goody two shoes, It's nothing special."

Jekyll purses his lips a bit at that comment but it's essentially correct, so he can't argue. A hand on Paloma's back presses in just a little to suggest they go.

She might have thought a thing or two about the unresolved tension these past several days and wanting very badly to... resolve that. Repeatedly. More than they did. Hyde's car fuck was truly an appetizer, as he said.

"Um! Coming!" That light touch scoots her with the momentum of a nervous squirrel, sparing a wistful and private wish for the matching underwear set she'd specifically bought for their last hours together.

One dainty foot in at a time, until she submerges with respect to the intense heat of the bubbling water. An enormous sigh leaves her. "Ah. Yeah. Nobody is." Being a goody two shoes all of the time? Not possible. Everyone slips.

"Harry sure isn't!" Hyde laughs, but Jekyll turns bright red the moment he steps into the water because of it. He'll just try to pass it off as the heat from the hot tub! It's fine!

"Well, no one's perfect..." Most people don't do incest, for one thing.

"More like I've totally taken the blame for you to keep that going!" Silence is telling. Especially uncomfortable silence like his.
