Angels (Pavel Chekov)

93 - Freaky

Vienna goes to kiss his lips and stops, realising where her mouth just was. She tells him they should brush their teeth before going to bed. She gets out of bed and he raises an eyebrow, waiting a few seconds before following her. Vienna is already in the bathroom by the time he gets there. The door is open but she's never seen him completely naked before and it makes him hesitate before coming in.

"Come on, Pasha."

"Aye, this is harder than I thought it was."

Vienna cracks up laughing and Pavel's cheeks go red as he realises what he said. He takes a deep breath and sticks his head through the door. She's at the basin and he lets his eyes wonder. He steps inside properly and she looks him up and down through the mirror. She smirks and starts putting toothpaste on her toothbrush. He grabs his own toothpaste and makes the same faces at her. She nudges his side and he nudges hers, laughing stupidly and feeling like he's finally getting over his embarrassment. He can finally laugh about it and not worry anymore. She washes her mouth out and then kisses his cheek, giving him a smile. He watches as she leaves and she turns back, shooting him a grin.

Morning is a little awkward. Erik comes knocking and Pavel tells him to get lost. He asks if he can come in and Pavel gives him a Russian answer and pulls the blankets up over his lower half. Erik says something else and Pavel groans, telling Vienna to stay put and getting up, pulling a pair of undies on. She watches him as he gets dressed and smiles sleepily, covering herself up a little more. Pavel disappears and cops a barrage of comments and questions from Erik.

"Look," Erik says in Russian. "I didn't think Vienna was here but seeing this, I think this might be more helpful than I thought it to be." He throws Pavel a small bottle and Pavel nearly drops it. "A few things to note; don't use it on the first go and make sure you have nothing important on the day after you plan on using it."

"Erik, what is this?" Pavel asks sleepily, trying to read the label and realising it's alien.

"Something special from Kelzenone. I got it long before I met Selwyn but he recognised the stuff. Jezzie and I used it constantly but that was the spare bottle. Don't worry, it's unopened, unused, etc."

"Yes, but what is it? It's not..."

"Think of it as a lubricant," Erik says flatly.

"As in..."

"Yes, you use it for sex. Is that clear enough now?? Come on, Pavel. I've really got to spell it out, don't I?"

Vienna emerges and Pavel quickly shoves the bottle under the couch. She asks Erik what he's doing here and he quickly tells her that he came over to check that they have packed.

"We're packed," she grumbles. "We aren't leaving until lunch time. It's too early."

"What were you guys up doing?" Erik smirks.

"Nothing you need to worry about," she returns. "Are you staying for breakfast? I'm sure Pavel will cook porridge while I try and wake up."

Erik nods and Pavel rolls his eyes, making sure to nudge the bottle further under the couch with his foot before they go into the kitchen. Vienna goes to have a shower and Pavel glares at his brother. He retrieves the bottle from under the couch and hides it somewhere a little harder to find.

"What's so special about it anyway?" Pavel asks, glad that he has a few minutes to talk to Erik while she's in the shower.

"Really, it's best just to try it and find out for yourselves. Trust me, it will be worth it. Just as I say... Don't use it on your first go or if you're busy the next day. I mean, Jezzie could barely walk the day after. It was great."

"Erik," Pavel grimaces, not wanting details on Erik's history with Jezzie. "Why don't you just keep it? Why are you giving it to me?"

"Because, I'm a nice brother and I think you're clearly going to need it before I will."

"Need what?"

Vienna comes out of the bathroom with a towel in her hair and Pavel freezes, not sure what he can say. He tries to think of something and Erik doesn't say anything, just watching him choke and Vienna raise an eyebrow.

"A, uhm..."

"Whatever answer you come up with in the next few seconds obviously isn't going to be the truth, so go on, just spit it out."

"I gave him a freaky lube from Kelzenone."

"Erik," Pavel snaps.

Vienna blinks. "Freaky lube? What does it do?"

Pavel doesn't know how to react considering that her first question but keeps a straight face as Erik starts explaining. He doesn't give many details, just telling her the same thing he told his brother earlier. Vienna just nods and doesn't say much else.

"Thank you, I guess. We still have more to organise. We'll come over in an hour or two, ready to go."

Erik smirks and tells them to have fun, leaving the kitchen and patting Pavel on the shoulder. As soon as he's gone Vienna wants to know how much Erik knows about how intimate they are. Pavel makes it clear that he doesn't say anything. Vienna doesn't care all that much, anyway.
