[TJ dips his head and rolls his eyes, of course not. It was a comment he might have made himself, in the same position as Ragnar.]
That's.. [He bites his lower lip. Smooths his palms down his thighs.] It's not quite that way. I was prince and I might be again, if my Mom gets elected, but I'm not anymore. Being a 'prince' or the first son, it's - well, I didn't get to make decisions or have a say in anything.
Mostly posed for pictures and played nice with the press so my parent's looked good.
[He snorts, shoving at Ragnar's arm and side as if he'd said the funniest thing TJs ever heard. He has. Laughs, though it's a little self-depreciating.]
No. I don't. I would have to campaign and win the love of my people, but I never would because, well, you know. [He shrugs.] I'm gay. I like men. Some don't care but a lot do. I wouldn't be elected and the death threats would increase. Doesn't matter if I could be good at the job.
no subject
[He smirked slightly when TJ described his time as the son of the president.] No, princes do not have any say. But you were still a prince. Your father must be a great man. And your mother.
[Ragnar looked a little perplexed, not quite understanding TJ's problem.] But... if you took a wife and had heirs, what does it matter who you have sex with? [The question was completely genuine. He couldn't understand where the issue lay.] Who you have sex with does not affect how you rule.
no subject
[If they all looked like Ragnar or at the very least, resembled him slightly then TJ would be in heaven. Except, for well, the fighting the guy mentions. He can take a lot but he's not really a warrior.]
My father's.. something, alright. [Elaine, on her better days, TJ was fond of. She doted on him when she could - when it didn't get in the way of political pursuits.] You serious?
It doesn't work like that. It'd be hard to find a woman who'd be okay with having your children while you fucked around on her and even if you did, why'd I tie myself down to someone I'm not attracted to and don't love?
[He shrugs, glancing away.]
No, it doesn't, but people care about it where I'm from. You can't love who you love without it being a problem. Not if that love happens to be between two men.
no subject
[He put his hand on TJ's knee and gave it a squeeze. Ragnar had yet to meet a man who managed to be a good leader, a good man, a good husband, and a good father. Something, or a few somethings, usually fell by the wayside. It was a sacrifice one had to make.]
Why? To have an heir and a family. [He shrugged.] Arrangments such as that are not impossible. Or unheard of.
But here you feel you have that freedom?
no subject
But, Ragnar's hand is on his knee and yeah, that's the best place for it to be.]
You can have kids without fucking a woman, back home. [But no, not even in his world, were they unheard of.] Nobody knows me.
I can be whoever I want to be here. I can ask handsome guys to come to my apartment and maybe someday, I can take them out on dates. Even if people care here, I won't mess anything up for anyone by being myself. [He'd only fuck up his own life. TJ, well, he feels good getting that off his chest.] Thanks, Dr. Phil.
Any chance you'd let me kiss you?
no subject
I am not against the idea, but it is different. It is a different feeling when you have your own. Like... part of you. That will carry on who you were. [He wasn't sure he'd explained himself properly, but he couldn't think of another way to phrase it.]
Dates? What is that? [He smiled softly, blue eyes practically glinting with curiosity.
His smile turned into a roguish smirk at TJ's question.] I can think of no reason why I should say no.
no subject
Where you go out and do something fun with someone else. Or a fruit.
[Either or, but he preferred the former.
Ah, good. Permission granted and happily accepted. TJ smooths his hands down his thighs, shuffles to the edge of the bed and the stands up to turn towards Ragnar. With a hand on the guy's shoulder, he puts a knee to the bed and then straddles his lap. There. Best position for kissing. He returns the smirk. Parting his lips, he dips down and kisses him, no hesitance.]
no subject
[Keen, bright blue eyes followed TJ's every movement with quiet curiosity. He wasn't entirely sure what to expect, though he had a pretty good idea what was happening when TJ slid rather gracefully into his lap. His hands moved to rest naturally on the other man's thighs before moving one to curl into the front of TJ's shirt as if he were going to drag him closer. He didn't need to though, he was already leaning in, their lips already meeting. He kept a hold on his shirt, keeping him pulled in close as the kiss gained momentum, growing desire turning the kiss more heated.]
no subject
[TJ a few hours from now would not agree that he wanted to do dates with Ragnar. The guy, then, would remember what it felt like to have his heartbroken. To feel ashamed. To be so messed up that they couldn't function like a normal person. That TJ would say no, he didn't want to do dates even though he actually did. He'd be cocky and snide, brush Ragnar off a little and claim he only did the kind of dates that were strictly for sex. No romance.
But this TJ has already climbed into Ragnar's lap, squeezed the man's thighs between his own, ass planted firmly. This TJ could confuse sex and all their friendly conversation as the start of something that could be sweet. Maybe only lovers, maybe nothing. This TJ had trouble mixing up his head and his heart, felt too much, and hated that about himself.
So instead of admitting or saying anything, he leans into the kiss and pushes up on his knees. Angled up and over Ragnar, he tugs on the man's bottom lip and shuffles even closer until there's no room between them. Ragnar's beard scratches his chin and he decides pretty quickly that he likes that.]
no subject
TJ pushed himself up to kneel against him rather than sitting in his lap, forcing him to tilt his head back. He had no idea why, but the simple change of angle made him groan softly, the noise mostly muffled by the kiss. His hands move to pull him closer, sliding firmly up TJ's thighs and over his ass.
As TJ shuffled closer, he slowly broke the kiss, tugging Ragnar's lip between his teeth which earns him another exhaled groan. He continued to slide his hands up, his rough calloused fingers snaking under TJ's shirt, fanning out over his skin as he worked the shirt upwards before moving to push it off, smirking up at TJ.]
I cannot say I have ever been with a prince. [He chuckled softly before leaning forward and dipping his head to drag a few light bites to the newly exposed skin.]
no subject
So they'll have sex and talk once in a while. Good. That was nice. Simple.
He lifts his arms and drops the shirt off to the side. TJ runs a hand through his hair to smooth it back out.] Hope I don't disappoint.
[Ragnar sure wasn't. TJ drags his hands across the top of Ragnar's head, playing with the braid but not moving to untie or work the strands loose. He tips his own head back and angles his chest forward in a - hey, keep going - kind of gesture.]
