Noah was beginning to regret having not actually just ducked into a bathroom stall with Freddie. The offer to peek had been spontaneous, something he meant to be super casual and not the request he'd made at the mall that had caused another rift between them. But now the reception was over and Noah had driven Donna home, and that meant driving to Freddie's apartment and knocking on his apartment door - not to come over to hang out, but to show off what the city had done to him.

No matter what way he turned it around in his head, coming over to Freddie's apartment like this felt anything but casual. Even though that's all it could be.

He was over-thinking it.

Of course they could just hang out. They'd done it before a ton of times, it would be fine. Maybe he could even forget the boobs thing altogether, maybe it was a bad idea to begin with.

So Noah parked at Freddie's apartment building and knocked on his door, still in the dress he'd worn to the wedding, his hair pulled from its braid and lipstick reapplied. He told himself it was so he wouldn't look like a wreck on his last day as a girl, was all.

One moment, Freddie's alone in the toilet, and the next he's not.

"Jesus--!" he starts as he reaches to flush, his cock hanging flaccid between his thighs as he throws Noah a mild glare. There's no real heat in it, despite the scare, and he quickly washes his hand, glancing at Noah briefly in the mirror.

"Back to normal then, are you?" he says as he turns off the taps, gaze dropping to wander down the front of Noah's bare chest. "Glad to have your cock back?"

[iwasmore]

Noah laughs at Freddie's reaction, quiet enough to almost be a giggle. He can't stop smiling, even in the face of any potential irritation from Freddie.

"Yeah, guess so," he says, glancing down momentarily, but looking right back to Freddie. He feels...comfortable again. This is the body he knows, he feels right im it. He moves so Freddie can exit the bathroom and he can take his turn.

"Disappointed?"

[thisfaceismine]

They switch places by the door, Noah stepping in as Freddie twists by him to stand in the doorway, making no effort to look away as Noah approaches the toilet. The fact that ghosts even need a pee is still a bit bewildering to him, but if other bodily functions work, he supposes it makes some bit of sense.

He replies only with a shrug as he leans against the doorframe. "You made a pretty hot girl," he concedes, though he as a feeling Noah's well aware.

Then again, Noah doesn't seem to think he makes a very hot boy either so what the fuck does Freddie know? His lips quirk into a grin, a look that borders somewhere between teasing and cruel. "Miss your tits already."

It's not something Freddie would ever actually say to any woman, but Noah doesn't count, obviously.

[iwasmore]

There's a brief, jarring moment where Noah nearly sits to pee, but he realizes in time. He relieves himself, flushes, and washes his hands in quick succession, moving in front of Freddie in one fluid motion.

"I'm glad you liked them," is all he says, walking past Freddie, reaching his arms above his head in a long stretch. He was way hotter as a girl, but he does feel like himself again which is nice. And even if he doesn't have the great tits and ass, something about him attracted Freddie at one point so he's not going to feel too bad.

"So what's for breakfast?" he asks, wandering into the living room.

[thisfaceismine]

As hot as Noah had been, there's an undeniable ease in his movements now that hadn't quite been there last night. Maybe it's a center-of-gravity thing. He stretches his arms over his head, showing off the long, lean line of his bike as he wanders back into Freddie's room as Freddie watches with a faint frown.

"Dunno," he admits because he hadn't thought that far ahead. Figured their morning would be a bit more awkward than it is so far, that Noah wouldn't want to stay long at all.

He glances back over his shoulder toward the vague direction of the kitchen. "Probably got a few eggs that are still good. Bread. Egg on toast?"

[iwasmore]

"Sounds good, want me to make it?" Noah asks. He refuses for it to be awkward, he's in too good of a mood. He's back in his body, he spent the night with Freddie having tons of awesome sex, and so far he isn't feeling regretful about it. Maybe later when he's sitting at home fucking pining or whatever like his brain or his emotions tends toward, then he'll probably want to kick himself. But not right now.

He stops short when he reaches the living room and picks up his discarded dress and women's underwear.

"Uh. Shoot. Do you have some pants I can wear?" He doesn't mind being naked around Freddie, but he doesn't want to make breakfast with his balls hanging out.

[thisfaceismine]

Freddie wants over to the side of the bed, picking up his discarded underwear from the night before and slipping them on, followed a moment later by a pair of shorts he'd kicked into his closet before he wanders out into the main room and toward the kitchen.

"I've got it," he says because he's always been a bit particular about his breakfast food and it his kitchen. He glances over a moment later, fighting a smirk as Noah picks up his dress and panties from the night before. Pausing, he pretends to think it over then heads for the cupboard to pull out the saucepan. "Bet you'd still fit in the underpants," he suggests. "Give it a try."

[iwasmore]

Noah laughs in surprise, looking over at Freddie with raised eyebrows. "Is that something you're into?" he asks lightly, briefly wondering if there's anything Freddie isn't into.

But Noah will give anything a try at least once, so he slips the panties on. The bulge of his cock, though soft, looks especially obscene underneath the satin pink trimmed in lace. Maybe Freddie's onto something.

"No sex until I eat, though," he says, wandering over to the kitchen. "I'm starving."

[thisfaceismine]

Again, Freddie replies only with a shrug at first before turning the knob for the back burner and wandering to the kitchen to find butter, bread, and eggs. In truth, it's not something he's ever really played with before. Not really. It's one of those things that seems more suitable to people who are in a relationship for awhile, who trust one another.

Freddie's never really gotten to that point with anyone. That, or he's never dated someone into that kind of thing.

He can see Noah moving out the corner of his eye and glances over a moment later, not bothering to hide his smirk when he sees Noah glad in the lacy pink underwear, his cock straining the fabric in a way. Whether he's thought on it much or not, Freddie can see the appeal.

"Still think it's weird you even get hungry," he admits as he drags his gaze up to Noah's face again. "D'you like bacon?"

[iwasmore]

Noah sits down at the small kitchen table to watch Freddie cook. He tries not to let it bother him, how Freddie still thinks about how different he is. How not human. He can't blame him, it's just moments like this where he especially wishes he was alive again. Like Ariel and her legs.

"Sure, bacon's good," Noah answers, leaning his elbows on the table. He's quiet for a time, trying to decide what he should or shouldn't say about what they did last night. It's still bothering him, their argument at the mall and what Freddie said.

"I really liked last night," he starts, pauses, opens his mouth to continue, but closes it.

[thisfaceismine]

With the confirmation, Freddie grabs the flat skillet next and sets it on the opposite burner before heading back to the fridge. He glances over only briefly at Noah when he speaks again, then waits a second. Noah looks like he as more to say, but he closes his mouth after a moment and Freddie shrugs.

Here it comes. And here comes the part where Freddie pretend he's just with going back to how it was.

"Yeah, it was good," he agrees, turning back to the stove and dropping the package of bacon onto the counter. "Nice to know how the other half experiences it, yeah? Got a bit of an advantage now."

[iwasmore]

Freddie's being so subdued, now it's getting to the point where Noah isn't even sure he wants him here. Maybe he should have left instead of bringing up breakfast. He just...didn't want to leave.

"I guess I do," Noah says with a tentative smile, blushing a little at the thought. He also can't help but think of his time with Krem, and maybe it was both their inexperience at the time but they'd never done half the things he and Freddie did. "I don't know if I was half as good as you, though."

[thisfaceismine]

It seems an odd comment, or maybe it's just Noah's tone. The atmosphere is a strong contrast from last night when everything had been fun and easy and hot.

Now it's back to real life. Or something like that.

"What's that mean?" he asks, with only a hint of a defensiveness. Mostly, he just doesn't understand. "Sex isn't a contest, is it? I had a good time."

He'd made every minute memorable, he thinks. At least for himself.

[iwasmore]

Noah blinks, staring at Freddie.

"I swear, sometimes it's like we're speaking two different languages. I didn't mean me versus you, I meant me in bed, like, being with a girl? You were-- it was a compliment. I think I had like five hundred orgasms. Being with you is always good...is what I mean," he explains, or tries to, sounding just as awkward as he didn't want to. It's stupid to get so shy and bumbling around someone who's literally licked out your asshole, and vice verse. Noah's been friends with Freddie for over a year now, but he supposes it's Freddie's unpredictable nature that sends him stumbling over his words sometimes. He's never sure when he expresses too much.

[thisfaceismine]

"I know what you meant," Freddie lies, ignoring how pointless it is to do so as the tips of his ears burn pink. There's nothing he can hide from Noah, is the thing. Nothing he can really keep secret. In one way or another, Noah will always figure it out, usually at the worst time possible.

He turns back to the stove, busying himself with laying out the strips of bacon.

"Glad to be of service, at least," he says, his voice clear as he lays each strip out one by one. "You've got a good few tricks to show on Donna later now, yeah?"

[iwasmore]

Unseen, Noah makes a face at Freddie's reply. Of service makes it sound like he was a prostitute or something, or like he didn't enjoy himself, and Noah knows he did despite whatever blase attitude he wants to have about it now.

"Donna's into her best friend, not me," he says dryly. She might have been sort of into him when he was a girl, but even if his body had stayed that way he doubts it would have lasted. Not when she was always thinking about Laura.

[thisfaceismine]

"Yeah, so you said," Freddie remarks because he does remember Noah mentioning that at the wedding. There's no telling how long that will last though. Sweet as Noah is, it's more than a little surprising he's not ended up with someone already. Only a matter of time.

The bacon starts to sizzle faintly as Freddie moves to cut out the bread for the eggs, working studiously.

"Tea?" he asks over his shoulder. "Or are you too American for that? Think I've got some coffee as well."

[iwasmore]

Noah snorts softly. "Oh, come on, you Brits don't have a monopoly on it. Tea's fine, I can make it while you cook," he says. Only, when he stands up he realizes he's still just wearing the panties, and his face goes hot. He takes a moment to decide whether or not to sit back down or push through his discomfort.

Screw it, he wore them last night, they're just underwear. Noah walks into the kitchen to find the kettle, lace and all.

"I hope you're enjoying this, over there in your boxers."
