Aaron groaned as he rolled over and wrapped himself in satin sheets. He liked the feel, but he was really waiting to get his hands on Tholian silk. He’d had the opportunity to feel it just once and the texture was exquisite.
The sun was either setting or coming up, neither could be good. And where was the other half of his “supposed to be watching” couple? “Computer, what time is it?”
=/\= The time is now 1900 hours. =/\= If he weren’t trying to experience the human experience to the fullest, he would just activate his internal chronometer.
Wrapping his naked body in the almost see-through sheets, he stood. Alcohol was another ‘probably bad idea’. “Xavier?” he called as his head came around so he could activate advanced filtration in his synth/human body.
Xavier didn't need sleep like Aaron did, which had its pluses and minuses. He did need to recharge, however, and he'd spent almost ten hours so that he was fully charged. He'd be good for at least thirty-six hours, maybe longer if he pushed it. He didn't anticipate he'd have to do that, the base wasn't in any danger. He did want to see if he could party all night.
While his counterpart was just getting up he was on the beach watching the sunset. Watching the sun rise or set was his favorite part of the day. He'd never actually watched it with anyone else around. But that was okay. At least at that moment, it was. There was still a faint glow of orange and red when he turned and tapped his comm badge.
=/\=Aaron this is Xavier, Did you want to go dancing again? Something else? Are you there? =/\=
Aaron found his combadge beeping, leaping across the bed, he activated it to hear Xavier talking. “Where the hell are you?” he asked curiously. Xavier was supposed to be in his sight or in his own room at all times.
"I'm in my room, where are you?" came the reply.
“Oh for God’s sake!” Aaron said, pulling on a pair of Academy sweatpants and a t-shirt. He padded across the hall and tapped the announce chime.
Xavier wasn't sure whether Aaron was amused or angry, but he thought it prudent if he found out. He had just put on a pair of grey chinos. Not bothering to put on a shirt he opened the door. "Hold your ponies," he said as the door slid open.
The door slid open to reveal a half-naked Xavier and Aaron was not the least bit bothered. “Another night of drinking and clubbing, huh?” Aaron asked, a sense of flirtatiousness and mischief in his tone. He was young and - partially - android. It was becoming a more pronounced oddity outside of his siblings and peers.
The android smiled at his companion as he slowly, almost seductively, pulled on a black A-shirt "Sounds like a plan, Aaron. I'm fully charged and we can stay out all night if you want."
Aaron chuckled. “Maybe let me get a shower? A cup or two of strong coffee with a side of Tylenol,” Aaron suggested. “I am mostly human, ya know?” he suggested with a chuckle. “How do you feel about body glitter?” he added playfully.
Xavier ran a hand through his short blond hair, smiling. "Take as much time as you need. I won't hold being mostly human against you. And I'm good with body glitter. What did you have in mind?"
Aaron chuckled. “I just saw it in one of the clubs last night and I thought it looked sexy. I thought we would look awfully sexy in body glitter together. Especially making out…on the dance floor…with each other,” Aaron suggested, his brain fluttering through hundreds of years of kissing before reaching the provocative firewall, which he allowed and was quickly surprised by the amount of pornography. He was certain his cheeks were blushing!
Xavier had no way of reading Aaron's thoughts, but given the blush and what he was saying, he had a pretty good idea of what was going on in the other's mind.
"I really don't want to look like a fool out there on the dance floor. Perhaps we could practice making out now."
“You do have a good point,” Aaron responded. “But should this experiment not start with attempting kissing others tonight? It would give us more data to determine what we like when we do decide to kiss each other?” he suggested.
"Well, I've heard that your first kiss should be with someone you love, or at least that you're connected to. However, you pose an interesting hypothesis. I am okay with kissing others first. An experiment, if you will.
"Are we going to do more than kiss?"
“I think that is an experiment that we should limit to between us, maybe we should do some visual research first? The civilian net is loaded with Romulan…pornography,” Aaron suggested, hoping he didn’t stumble over the last word too nervously.
"I'm sorry," the android said, "I was not suggesting that we do more than kiss anyone else. I was merely asking if we were going to go beyond that. I have no desire to carry that experimentation with anyone else."
"Pornography would be interesting to view. Have you watched any? Do you have any recommendations?"
“Much of it was downloaded temporarily while I researched kissing earlier, but not intentionally. There is a wide variety and I do not know which you might be most interested in. Again, more research may be needed together once we reach that part,” Aaron suggested, strictly between you and I.
“If you become prone to jealousy, or I do, then we can each decide the experiment is over. That means we return to dancing together and sharing our kissing experiences with each other. Just say ‘the experiment is over’ and we each know what that means, agreed?”
"That sounds like a viable plan. Let's go execute it."
