Marius derives pleasure even from just the sparks that fly between them as he and Rat take each other in with their eyes; watching Rat watching him renders him breathless just as much as his touch does. He finds himself unable to get enough of either sensation, and so he reaches for his lover with an increased sense of urgency.

He moans as their lips meet in fervored, sticky kisses as intense as the heat flaring up between their bodies. He reaches one hand to tangle in Rat's hair and pull him closer, while he glides the other down to Rat's chest to glance over the skin he finds there. All the while, he shudders and his hips move in time with Rat's fingers; he catches sight of Rat using one hand on himself; his chest tightens and heat coils in his belly as he lets out a low groan.

He pulls back from their kisses only briefly, to ask a question. "Come together?" His voice shakes around each word, unstable for lack of steady breath.
