Dressed to the Nines

[Sage]

Sage was still weak from the surgery and everyone still very keenly aware of the fact that he'd just had brain surgery. And they didn't let him forget it - specially Christian and Anna. Though they both wanted Dorian back just as much as the rest of them.

He'd been toiling away while Nox and Cruz were upstairs. But still there was nothing he could do nothing he could see that he hadn't already been through. Sage spent most of his time looking through the feeds manually. He was still creating all the monitor programs he'd lost when Grim had let his server come into the hands of the CCD.

Now he was trying to set up a home base here, but it wasn't quite so easy. Dorian didn't have a place that was large enough for the size server Sage wanted or the facilities to cool it. The money wasn't the issue, the stupid old Russian mansion was. Maybe he could talk Dorian into using the attic when he came back. That might be useful if it was cleaned out.

But he had to find Dorian first.

Until then Sage did the best he could, and there was a certain guy who was putting on a tux upstairs that Sage really wanted to see. He'd already seen him naked, showers and sex with another guy but still this was different. When Sage walked into Cruz's room he was surprised to find Cruz walking out. His friend nodded in the direction of the walk in closet he'd just vacated. It was more like another room than a closet. Nox was there standing in front of the mirror staring at himself. Probably in disbelief. He looked amazing. But then he looked good anytime...

Nox's question and spin made Sage come back to reality with a happy smile. "You look good."
Sage winked and licked his lips to show Nox just how appetizing he was. And the small gestures made the former Atharim bite his bottom lip. It was so innocent, it always looked planned. But Sage knew that was him being shy and embarrassed.

His eyes never looked away as Sage checked Nox out. "It's probably a good think the limo is here, or you might have to start all over again."


There was a flash of something in Nox's eyes and then the smile returned. He still had issues liking me and being overtly propositioned by them, so when Nox stopped in front of him on the way out the door, grabbed his t-shirt and pulled Sage in for a soft kiss Sage was surprised. He stared wide eyed at the other man until he relaxed letting the kiss go where it went. And it went straight places Sage didn't want to think about.

Nox grinned at him as he broke off. "Maybe I'll let you take it off me later."
He said as he walked out the door. What the fuck! Really? Sage turned around to see Nox putting arm around Cruz and ushering the younger man out the door. Nox turned back and looked at Sage over his shoulder and winked. Fuck! He is such a flirt.
