<sub>[ after this fantastic occurrence—

Wallace half expected Steven to shuffle along beside him so they can get going. Get going where, precisely? Wallace wasn't too specific with where they were heading, but Steven's hesitance caused him to pause and look over his shoulder. ]</sub>

What's the matter? Surely you don't plan on spending the rest of this fantastic evening by yourself, do you?

_{[ just what.. is he insinuating here.
what is he ever insinuating anytime anywhere? ]}

[ he lets out a small chuckle, pressing another kiss to wallace's hair before he goes to take the seat next to him. ]

I certainly don't have what it takes to participate in one, but I do quite enjoy watching them. It always warms my heart to see Pokémon and Trainers working together, whether on the battlefield or the stage.

Besides, this is a prime opportunity for us to spend some time together. I'm always happy to accompany you.

he makes it sound so formal and cool but he's really a that annoying fan-person wallace can't stand

[rainbadge]

_{[ So much little kisses. Very affection. Wallace isn't complaining, it's just something he's noticed. It does cause a soft smile to appear on his face. ]}

It is a good opportunity for that! Wouldn't it be fun to gamble while we are there? I always liked doing some of that! It's so amusing.
People getting so anxious over something like money— I just love seeing what they do to places like this and what ways people are betting on.

_{[ wallace it's none of your business. ]}

this is why he's a closet fan

[geophile]

[ it's not exactly something steven is aware of himself - he's definitely not a touchy-feely person, but there's a certain ease he feels with wallace that makes him feel more open to affection.

at his suggestion, he chuckles. ]

I can't remember the last time I went gambling... but if there's any place to do it, I suppose Goldenrod would be it. I suppose it could be fun.

[ and he's not so irresponsible as to pawn off the family fortune, so why not? they're on vacation. ]

god

[rainbadge]

I bet I'll walk out of there gaining more money than you.

_{[ oh goodness... ]}

[geophile]

Is that so?

[ oh, that has him quirking an eyebrow. don't test him, wallace. ]

Care to make an official wager out of that confidence?

[rainbadge]

_{[ well then.
Wallace shifts to the side a little, propping one elbow on Steven's shoulder as he allows his hands to meet together, his own fingers folding delicately as he looks at Steven with a smug grin and eyes full of interest. ]}

Money? Or something else? Such as a task or dare of some kind.
_{[ because lol money. ]}

[geophile]

Neither of us are particularly lacking in the former... so for interest's sake, let's go with the latter.

[ basically, this is a glorified truth or dare with money. they are literally children with too much time and cash on their hands. ]

On the highly improbable chance that you win, what would you like from me?

[rainbadge]

_{[ hearing Steven say something like that just really gets his mind going. What wouldn't he want from him?
As he mulls over this thought, his eyes look at him fondly, a little soft smile appearing on his face. ]}

Hmmmm.

_{[ should he be concerned. ]}

[geophile]

[ shit. maybe he shouldn't have given wallace so much freedom with this... but he very well can't back out now. besides, it's not like he'll need to do whatever he wagers anyway. he intends on winning, and his smile doesn't falter. ]

Well?

[rainbadge]

_{[ Even though Steven has clearly opened himself up for some things that could be very entertaining, Wallace finally says the thing that'd he's been wanting Steven to do for the longest time. ]}

Well indeed.

_{[ His hand lifts, brushing some of that silvery hair back before his hand drops, but not before trailing lightly down Steven's chest. ]}

—I think you should compete in a contest! Whether it be along my side or allowing me to spectate.
_{[ of course. ]}

[geophile]

[ honestly, he's completely ready for sexual favours. that kind of thing would be the most obvious, and it's why wallace's request takes him by completely by surprise - partially because he realizes how in the gutter his mind was, but also due to the request itself. that, along with the touch, has him blushing. ]

What? [ he really shouldn't be as shocked as he is. ] Wallace, performing is your niche - you can't very well expect me to...

[ measure up? be as talented as you? he trails off, so we will never know how that sentence ends. ]

[rainbadge]

—No, it isn't expected of you.
_{[ He takes this moment to place one curved knuckle under Steven's chin and lean in, kissing the edge of his mouth softly. ]}

But I'd really love to see you up there— doing the very thing I am so passionate about! C'mon, don't act shy about it. Even if it's just one of the smaller contests!

[geophile]

[ he practically freezes when wallace leans in to kiss him, and it takes every bit of his willpower not to chase his lips when he pulls back. the effect that wallace had on him was ridiculously potent, and it's doing nothing for his flustered cheeks.

but he does manage some kind of action, gently pressing their foreheads together as he tries to regain his composure. ]

...And that's truly what you want? What would make you happy?

[rainbadge]

Ab-sol-utely! Don't you think it'll be fun? It'll hype up a lot of the public, too.
<sub>[ you know Wallace and that public. He really does love it, even if he seems exhausted by it sometimes.

His palms move to Steven's shoulders in a smooth motion down to his chest again. He leaves his hands there, tipping his head to the side and look at his lover curiously. ]</sub>

What about me, hm? It's your turn, mon cher.

[geophile]

I suppose I have no choice, then. I accept your terms.

[ man, he's definitely going to regret this if he ends up losing... but even if he does win, seeing wallace so happy has him wondering if he should surprise him and do it anyway. it's something to consider. ]

An exhibition battle between the two of us.

[ he very well can't ask for a blowjob now, so this is his backup. yawn. ]

[rainbadge]

_{[ wow steven....
Wallace makes a little humming sound, figuring he might suggest something like this.
The coordinator finally shifts in his seat to turn so that his back is facing Steven before wiggling to get comfortable by dropping his head into Steven's lap. His hands fold neatly on his own chest as he gazes up at Steven. ]}

Tell me the rules, then.

[geophile]

[ he's a little surprised at wallace making himself so comfortable in his lap, but doesn't worry himself too much over it. it's more of a comfort than anything, so he goes to idly brush his hair behind his ear as he looks on at him with a fond smile. ]

Six-on-six, no substitutions. It's been awhile since we've battled... so I want a reminder of how fun it is.

[ a fairly standard drivel for a champion, but every inch of his words have truth to them. ]

[rainbadge]

_{[ Oh. Hair pets. Yes, this is definitely a thing that can happen. Carefully, at least, which he trusts Steven with.
And so, he lifts his head for a moment so he can remove his beret before settling back down on Steven's lap. ]}

I suppose it's sort of fun.
<sub>[ he's like a person who just bought a new car when it comes to his prized Pokemon; doesn't like the paint scratched.

He seems to appear very comfortable as his eyelids fall shut, nose tipped to the side facing Steven. ]</sub>

[geophile]

I suppose that means that you accept my terms?

[ he knows better than anyone to be careful with wallace's hair, making sure that his gentle strokes don't ruffle anything out of place. his aim is to be relaxing, and with the way that wallace is resting in his lap, he's fairly sure that he's succeeded. steven wouldn't even mind of they stayed like that for the entire flight - having wallace in his arms like this is like a dream come true. ]

[rainbadge]

Hmmmmm. If I must. If that is what will make you happy.
_{[ Wallace replies with his eyes closed, a pleased smile fixated on his face. ]}

Though, you'll be paying for any damage to my darlings should they have to get a make over because of your steel types.

_{[ His eyes remain shut as his hand lifts to curve his fingers around Steven's wrist so he pull his hand down to press a few delicate kisses on the silver rings that adorn his rugged fingers.
Wallace releases him and relaxes. ]}

Wake me up when we get there, would you?
_{[ tired boyfriend is tired. ]}

[geophile]

Consider it done.

[ his gaze grows even fonder when he feels wallace's kisses on his fingers, a small sigh escaping him. the more time steven spends with him, the more he feels like he's truly fallen in love. ]

I will. For now, rest.

[ he'll go back to stroking his hair until he falls asleep. d'aww. ]
