Prometheus groaned loud enough to wake the dead as he sprawled dramatically over the living room's sofa, his students' papers slipping out of his hand to scatter all over the carpet. Scrawled over the papers were a lot of red pen, and Prometheus's notoriously shit handwriting that was incomprehensible to all (including Prometheus himself).

His freshmen students were going to be the death of him.

"Not a single pass..." he grumbled, idly scratching at his bare stomach. It was a hot, summery weekend, so he was dressed accordingly (shorts and crop top obviously), but instead of getting to sun outside or do anything else fun, he had been stuck marking his students' papers for an unofficial 'end of term' test in preparation for their exams.

The freshmen did abysmally. Then again, they always did, but he always had at least one pass! Not this time! Ugh, the admins were going to start crawling up his ass again over this. They always did whenever more than 50% of his classes started failing, which was, uh, every term, really.

Prometheus pouted. It wasn't his fault that the students didn't understand basic and simple concepts!

He rolled onto his stomach, his arm dangling over the edge of the sofa, and morosely swatted at one of the papers littering the carpet. It wasn't just the admins, though. Hades was going to get on his case about this too. For some reason (Prometheus was blaming the admins), he started actually caring about how Prometheus taught his classes (probably because some of his students were under Prometheus's care, and they were a bunch of whiners who kept complaining about him to Hades). He'll be disappointed in him. Hades being disappointed in him was Awful.

Just by looking at him he knew he was done. He had been agreeable enough and a fantastic lay... so he didn’t mind taking care of him. “Stay here, I’ll bring dinner,” Hades said, padding into the bathroom to briefly wipe off and wash his hands. Hades caught his own reflection in the mirror and had a small epiphany. I can redo his final without him even being aware of it.

Hades quickly went into the kitchen, doling out food from the slow cooker and cutting the fresh bread... he brought Prometheus a portion first and to check on him. ...And he made sure to bring a portion to put Prometheus into a mild food coma. “You never touched your wine. Surely it is properly aerated now. Shall I bring it?”

“So... hm. Hythlodaeus told me that your environmental impact estimates were perfect. My project had already been set back by a year, and the investors are going to pull out if I don’t have everything I need in two weeks. Surely your court date won’t be for a while...”

Such a fucking monkey paw, every single time. Hythlodaeus had the perfect guy, but he might have to conduct his business calls in ten minute bursts or during visiting hours.

“How many times have you been in jail? And how old are you?”

When Hades ambled off to get food and clean up, Prometheus tried to regain control of his trembling limbs. He clumsily sat up against the headboard, grabbing one of the towels they rolled up in the bedside table's drawer for this exact purpose. He was absolutely caked in cum, enough that he felt a little embarrassed about it as he wiped the white streaks off his belly and thighs. The smell of musk and sex was thick, but Prometheus didn't have the energy to limp off to the bathroom to properly clean up. Hades would just have to deal with it.

By the time Hades came back, Prometheus had rearranged the pillows and duvet to let him sprawl drowsily while still remaining somewhat upright enough to eat. He watched his boyfriend with heavy-lidded eyes, looking very satiated and sleepy.

"Oh, I totally forgot about my wine..." he mumbled, staying still to let Hades put the tray of food on his lap. Ah, it smelled great - not that he expected anything else since he cooked it - though he noticed Hades gave him a really big portion. Was he trying to knock him into a food coma?

Not that he was going to protest. He was absolutely starving after getting his brains fucked out of him.

"Yeah, I'll have it," he said, picking up a slice of bread and giving Hades a pleased smile. He really did like being fussed on like this, heh, "You gonna eat here with me too, babe?"

Prometheus gave Hades a shrewd look, dropping the dumb himbo act completely. An environmental impact estimate, huh...

"I'm twenty three," he said, uncurling from his little ball to swing his legs over the edge of the bed, "And I've been in jail, hm, several times."

Prometheus grinned wryly at that. Technically true... he went to juvie a few times, but that was for something other than climate protesting. No, that was from during the good ol' days of foster care, where Prometheus got into a few bits of trouble because... well, Hyth said he was just acting out, but truth was Prometheus was a goddamn fool with no impulse control.

"So, I can say with absolute certainty that my court date will definitely be after that two week deadline," he said cheerfully, kicking his legs a little childishly, "Especially if they start quibbling over whether or not my 'mental issues'," he signed quotation marks here, "Made me deck that asshole in the face. Not that I'd need two weeks to finish it anyways... gimme, like, five days and I'll be done."

“Yeah, I’ll eat here,” Hades said with a small smile. “I’ll be back in a moment.” What greater joy was there than walking through your own home, a little drunk, riding the euphoria of orgasm with excellent food in tow. He snagged the remainder of the bottle and set it on the bedside table.

“If I am, do you object?” Hades might be shrewd, bit he wasn’t a liar. He sat himself next to Prometheus, eating contentedly and considering his next moves. He popped a caffeine pill out of its wrapper by his bedside and drank it down with a swallow of wine.

Once Prometheus was asleep, there would be more more objecting to whatever he might do with his students’ final exams. Perfect...

Roughly ten years his junior, of course. He almost expected younger.

“Several times... I should have expected as much from one of Hythlodaeus’ people. Well, that hardly changes anything. I’ll take you onsite tomorrow. So long as you don’t get arrested again before then...”

Some wiggle room, that was nice. Not that he’d be able to get anyone to do it sooner or in the left over time if this guy fucked it all up. They really were at each other’s mercy right now, and Hades could just feel his insurance premiums going up.

“Learn anything of note from Hythe?”

Prometheus was already halfway dozing when Hades settled back down next to him. It was a miracle he was managing to eat his food without accidentally smearing it over his cheeks, very slowly blinking in a way that said him nodding off directly into his bowl was imminent.

But could he be blamed? Prometheus wasn't the 'fuck and immediately sleep' type, like Hades was - in fact, sex energised him somewhat after a brief moment of sleepiness - but right now he was drained after getting the ever living shit fucked out of him. In a good way. Also, he'd been tired anyways when Hades came home, so this was like the straw that broke the sleepy camel's back.

"Mn, no... I don't object," he mumbled, slumping a little bit more against his pillows. His spoon was lying, half-forgotten, in its bowl, his fingers loose around its handle. The food was delicious, and he was still hungry, but effort... so much effort to eat...

"I'm sleepy," he grumbled, sounding almost sulky about it.

Prometheus could admit he was a wild one, but not even he could get into even more trouble from now until morning. Well, unless he decided to rob this guy, but, as one of Hyth's friends, Hades was immune to such mischief from Prometheus.

"Nah, not really. Just the usual stuff like, 'be careful!'" he mimicked Hythlodaeus's voice with eerie accuracy, breaking off into low, amused chuckles, "I said we'd talk in the morning anyways. Knowing him, he'll be here bright and early to drag me back home by the ear, haha~"
