The Sky As Seen From Rooftops

Lui let his arm hang over the side of the building, fingers twitching uselessly as his eyes drifted closed on their own.

His body was crowded up against the ledge, just inches away from rolling over and falling to certain death. It was a risk, laying so close to such a large drop, but it made his heart beat faster in his chest and Lui adored the adrenaline rush it provided. It was a high that he couldn't achieve any other way and he'd honestly given up in trying to replicate it with weed or alcohol.

Lui sighed under his breath and he didn't even bother to look up when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him.

"... Should I be worried or...?" A voice whispered hesitantly and Lui recognised it instantly.

"Nah..." He mumbled, offering a small smile in return. He trailed his fingers against the brick wall, pushing hard enough that he felt the rough surface scratch at his fingertips. Arlan sighed from beside him and it didn't take long before he crouched down to lay beside Lui.

He could feel the solid line of heat that radiated from Arlan's body and Lui wanted to roll over just so he could bury his face into the other man's neck. Instead, he just clawed at the wall and then hissed when he felt his scratches turn into cuts; cuts that were deep enough to draw blood. He slowly rubbed his fingertips together, smearing the blood all over his left hand before letting his arm flop down again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Arlan watching him and Lui wondered just how long it would take before David would come searching for them.

"It's the big day tomorrow," Droidd whispered and Lui's eyes instantly turned hard, "Basically claims he has everything prepared, the explosives and the charges- all that shit. Nogla's fucking with the guns as we speak; taking them apart, cleaning them, putting them back together. And I was... I was checking the car before I realised you were missing."

He paused for a moment, letting the silence sit between them, almost as if he were expecting an excuse from Lui. When he didn't get a response, Arlan sighed, "So, tell me... How does laying on the edge, of a twelve story building's roof, help us prepare for tomorrow's heist, Lui?" he asked.

Lui shifted his head to look over at Arlan, who watched him carefully with a raised eyebrow before licking at his lips slowly. Lui let out a low huff and within seconds he was climbing on top of Droidd, straddling his waist. His left hand- which was still smeared with wet blood- reached for Droidd's neck and it left streaks of red against his skin. His fingers gripped Arlan roughly and he lowered his head to bite marks onto Arlan's collarbone.

The little breathless noises that slipped past his boyfriend's lips made a quiet groan build in the back of his throat.

"A-ah! Fuck, Lui. Are y-you bleeding? Oh god, d-don't stop, shit," he moaned and Lui raised his head, humming low in his throat before moving to kiss Arlan properly. He nipped at Arlan's lips, taking the soft, pink skin in between his teeth before licking at it with his tongue to soothe the sting. Droidd's hands slipped under the back of his jacket, tugging up the hem of his shirt so he could run his hands and fingers along the bare skin of Lui's spine. Lui let out a dark chuckle and his tongue quickly slipped into Arlan's mouth, who let out breathy gasp at the intrusion.

It was addicting, making Arlan slowly fall apart underneath him and Lui briefly forgot to multitask- forgot to focus on both his surroundings as well as his gorgeous boyfriend.

So of course, he missed the sound of the door to the rooftop squeaking open, but he didn't mistake the sound of Nogla's voice calling out.

"Oh, for fock sake!" he yelled, pulling off one of his shoes to wedge the door open slightly and Lui quickly pulled back from Arlan. He could feel his heart hammering in his chest, the unnecessary adrenaline rush silently demanding that he do something; but Daithi wasn't a threat so Lui didn't bother to move off of Droidd. "Marcel and I are downstairs, working our fockin' dick's off and of course you two are up here making out like horny fockin' teenagers. I don't know if you've forgotten, but this was your idea Lui,"
