The Youngest Siblings are Always Trouble (For Felix Caelus)

[smartass_captain]

Usually Jim's on the other end of this situation, leaving a lady to guess his intentions and plans. Keeping people at arms length is safer. So why wait around at a winding down party for a guy he's just met?

For one, Schon is a friend and Jim was legitimately excited to come to this. For two, Felix has been incredibly fun to chat and dance with and not at all what the Captain expected. For three, open bar.

By now, Jim is well into tipsy and enjoying watching the little floating candles around the bar area. He's glad he came to this shindig, even if Felix doesn't come back. All he'd have been doing instead of this was sulking in his quarters alone like he does every other holiday.

He'd come back, wouldn't he? Shit, Jim downs his drink. Why does he care? He had fun. It should be good enough.

"Give me another." He murmurs to the barkeep.

"Yeah yeah, hurry up. I hear you keep your shirt on." Ironic given the night's evens and that Jim is flashing his very skimpy underwear as he reaches under the armchair for the gloves. How they got there is anyone's guess but he's allllmost got them....

"Aha!" And snag! Jim wriggles them closer until he can get a hand around them and then pulls back and settles on his heels, holding the white fabric over his head like a trophy.

"Got 'em! That should be everything."

"Thanks!" Felix strolls over to take them, offering a hand to pull Jim back up. Being this close brings back memories of the night, but he knows the rules well enough. Lingering affection would be presumptuous: gratitude is usually fine, so he gives Jim a smile before he steps back.

The wolf's doing its work: he can vaguely feel its excitement as it tracks down the exact pile of clothes to sit on. There's no sense of hostility, which is a relief. "We'd better get downstairs."

"We'd better get downstairs without using the grappling arrow. It'd be a real shame to get all bruised up again after everything I went through getting rid of them." Jim snickers and leads the way back downstairs.
