dichotomize

[Hatter's smiling into the kiss, sharp and smug, and reaches between them to jack himself off, nearing the edge.]

[I have no idea what you're feeling smug about exactly but is a little busy pulling Hatter roughly down onto him a few more times before he comes, moaning but too breathless for the sound to get very loud]

[he's a bit more in control and he is finding he enjoys that, is all.

a few more strokes and he finishes too, with a low moan, before easing himself off of Ticky and flopping to the side.]

[well you can be in control as much as you want bb

It's probably going to take one of longer to catch his breath than the other]

[definitely noting that!

but also basking so waiting for him to recover is fine by Hatter.]

[/when you have less energy than a guy who just lost an arm tho.

Oh well ticky is used to it, it doesn't take him long to wiggle an arm under Hatter and tug him closer]

[what cuddles really

...ok]

[yay cuddles, stays flopped on his back though]

Hmmm... weren't you going to tell me something...?

Aah... What was it you were curious about, again?

Hm... what was it...?

[...sitting up to take his jacket all the way off, digging through it for cigarettes...]

Oh yeah, why're you such a mess.

...A friend and I had a falling out. Unfortunately, our teams got involved somehow, so it just got messier and messier until he got shot and his team came to me for answers.

Though maybe "venting" is more accurate. They had very little interest in what I actually had to say.
