OPEN Valentine's Day Plot

WHO | Everyone
WHAT | Baron sends Valentine's Day gifts to Tribute Tower.
WHEN | Valentine's Day!
WHERE | Tribute Tower
WARNINGS / NOTES | Warnings for drug use and all of the things that go with that. Possibly also sexual themes. The OOC post for this is here.

On the morning of February 14th when the Tributes come down for breakfast they're greeted by an impressive holiday themed spread. Pink and red baked goods, chocolates shaped like hearts, beautiful red and pink flowers, adorable stuffed animals all line the table.

On the table is also a sign in cursive that reads:

To our beloved Tributes, Victors, Mentors, Escorts and Stylists. Enjoy your holiday. -- Bartlett Industries

Most of the sweets are completely harmless, but if the Tributes taste the chocolate covered cherries or caramels they find themselves suddenly acting very strangely...

Lindsey's eyebrows went up then lowered as his expression turned coy. His thumb brushed sideways to trace against that lower lip.

"Is that so. Magic? Powers?" Being where he came from, he wasn't terribly surprised by either of those things. "Makes me glad we're on an even field, I'd hate to be the man left behind."

"Something like that." Gabriel could push back, but playing coy was fun. Besides, he'd spent so long pretending to be someone else that falling into roles was easy for him. Being someone else was always easier than being himself, so right now he could be anyone he wanted to be.

The reminder that they were on an even playing field made him a little uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as he'd been in the arena. Here, he wasn't freezing or starving and he they weren't all trying to kill each other. Of course, he still had his guard up for mind games. He was a champion at them and he wouldn't put it past other people to play them on him. "So are you planning to buy me dinner or, I don't know, give me a name?"

"I'll consider the dinner later, but you can have my name now." He dropped his hand and grinned, his earlier hostility seemingly vanished. The possibility of mind games though, that remained strong in his vibrant blue eyes. "I'm Lindsey McDonald... and you are?"

"Gabriel." Plenty of humans were named after him, anyway, and he wouldn't be able to keep it secret for long with Castiel around. Subtlety was really not his brother's forte.

He was some sort of man-witch named after an archangel. He could just go with that. "Man, your parents really wanted a daughter, huh?" He imagined Lindsey probably felt a need to overcompensate for his name and he couldn't really resist poking at that.

Lindsey's smile slipped a bit at the question. If he got a dollar for every time he got told that... "Yeah, I guess they did," Lindsey answered with an edge to his grin. "But dear Gabby, isn't that's how life works? You can't have all that you want."

Using a girl's name wasn't really going to do anything to Gabriel. He didn't really have a gender and while he'd inhabited a male body for a long time now, he didn't exactly have all the social hangups that come with it.

He grinned. "I usually get what I want, so I wouldn't know."

"A power pusher," Lindsey observed with a rascal like grin back. Seeing that Gabriel was running low in chocolates, he threw an arm around his new found buddy and offered him some of his own.

"I was once given advice by someone to know what I want and go for it. He didn't end up so well, but it's good advice."

"Sure, as long as you don't mind a few loopholes, it can't go wrong." Gabriel took a chocolate. How did Lindsey know that chocolate was the fastest way to a trickster's heart? Well, heart might have been a stretch, but it was a good way to get into his good graces and into his bed, at least.

"I like to think of myself as a teacher." Well, he taught lessons, at least. "And a lover. My wants just tend to be within my reach."

"And a romantic too, by the sounds of it," Lindsey said with a chuckle.

Balancing the box of chocolates in one hand, he picked out one with his other one around Gabriel's shoulders and offered it to him. "But what do you teach?" Because obviously the man wasn't one if he merely thought of himself as one.

"Life lessons, mostly. There are some things you just can't teach in a classroom." He waggled his eyebrows and took the chocolate in his mouth, lips "accidentally" brushing Lindsey's fingers. He didn't try very hard to make it look like an accident, though.

"There's lots of things you can't teach in a classroom," he agreed, his smile widening at that oh-so-accidental touch. It sent a little sizzle of electricity down his arm, and finding he liked it, he went ahead and fed Gabriel another chocolate.

"They get learned as they come and not everyone's so lucky."

"I am definitely a luck changer." Bad luck was a kind of luck! Just ask Deano.

And oh, no, was there chocolate on Lindsey's finger? Here, let Gabriel just lick that off. He might have sucked on the tip gently, too. You know, just a little. He couldn't let chocolate go to waste.

Lindsey wasn't fooled by those vague words. "That can mean both ways—" he was pointing out just before the words ended in a light intake of breath. Hell, it felt like sin at the tip of his fingers.

At this point, some buried part of Lindsey was vaguely concerned that he had his arm around a man, a stranger, and that he was doing a bit more than mere flirting with him. Yet that part was fairly buried and the damned man decided, anything that felt this good shouldn't be stopped.

He picked up the next piece of chocolate and purposefully let it melt a bit in his warm and now wet fingers before delivering it to that sinful mouth.

"You know, I'm running out of chocolates... but I think my appetite's changing."

Gabriel took the bate easily enough. Why refuse something that was fun and mostly harmless? He knew exactly what he could do with his tongue and if that didn't get the guy interested, there was just no interesting him.

He moved his arm flippantly, knocking at the chocolate box and trying to dislodge it from Lindsey's grip. "Lose the chocolates and I'll give you something better." Few things were better than chocolate, but even fewer things were better than Gabriel.

He turned around to face Lindsey without losing the arm around his shoulders. "What do you say?"

Lindsey managed to hold onto the box, showing that he wasn't so easily pushed over, but finding himself suddenly face to face with an arrogant but mesmerizing prick, who was giving him an offer he couldn't refuse, he wasn't so keen on salvaging the box anymore. A waste of good chocolates, but he tossed what's left over his shoulder.

"I say I should sample the goods first."

His arm around Gabriel's shoulders tightened, not to restrict but enough to pull him in closer. He leaned over their slight height difference in an attempt to draw those tempting lips into a kiss.

Gabriel was normally very obstinate; Even in the face of things he wanted, he would sometimes pretend he didn't want them, but the effects of the drugs were wearing down on his resolve. He let himself be pulled closer without any real struggle and kissed back with passion.

His hands went to Lindsey's shoulders as he hummed in approval. If Lindsey fucked the way he kissed, Gabriel was going to have a good day. This didn't really make up for all the dying, but it balanced out the crappiness a little.

Reservations? There was no such thing as their kiss quickly escalated from chaste to fiery passionate like the very flames of Hell was licking at their mouths. Lindsey's tongue didn't wait to gain approval before it was plundering into the other man's mouth, dominating but not in an overpowering fashion.

He was staking his claim, showing off his moves, and making sure that Gabriel knew who was going to be taking the lead on this one.

Even if he was virtually new to this sort of interaction.

Kissing a guy was different, but not that vastly different that Lindsey didn't know what to do.

Gabriel wanted to fight back and he definitely wasn't yielding entirely, but he honestly wanted to fuck a lot more than he wanted to fight. Then again, combining the two was always fun.

His fingers slipped into Lindsey's hair, tugging none too gently. "Need more free samples?"

Lindsey pulled back breathing heavily, out of breath but grinning like the cat with fresh cream. "No, I think I'm good."

Tugging free of the grasp in his hair, Lindsey shifted until they were side by side once again, except this time his hand was placed possessively around Gabriel's waist.

"Which brings us to the age old question of your place or mine?"

There was a little eye-roll at that. Humans were so cute about modesty, but he'd bite.

"Whatever's closer. I'm on the fifth floor." The possessive grip was kind of hot, even if it was a joke. No one could own Gabriel Well, Kali could, but that was a totally different situation and besides, she was Kali.

He leaned into Lindsey's side. It wasn't a huge gesture, but for Gabriel, it was downright clingy. He was used to holding all the cards.

"You're on the fifth..." Something about that broke through his lustful haze and Lindsey turned to give Gabriel an unreadable look. "Fifth District?" And the widest grin followed, taking over the urban cowboy's face. "That makes it easier doesn't it? You're my new district buddy. Let's go Christian your room."

This promised for a lot of fun in the future, although Lindsey wasn't thinking too far into that. Just the next hour seemed was a great idea.

"Let's go District 5," he said with good cheer as he, with a possessive caress over Gabriel's thigh, guided his 'buddy' back towards the elevators.

Well, District 5 was clearly the sexiest district. That was for sure. Easy access wasn't something Gabriel would be complaining about, either, not when being touched felt like that.

He let Lindsey lead him, leaning up against him as much as he could without hindering their movement. He leaned his head against Lindsey's shoulder as they moved, breath hot against Lindsey's neck. He was in an odd sort of daze that he couldn't quite figure out, but he didn't have to will to fight it.

As it was working out wonderfully for him, Lindsey had no complaints either as they two of them piled into the elevator and he pressed for the fifth floor.

As soon as the metal doors closed, he turned, once again moving to catch those hot lips with his. The of chocolate lingered between their lips, and as Lindsey busied himself with mapping up Gabriel's mouth, his hand dug down and gave that pert ass a light squeeze.

If there were cameras in the elevators, and there probably were, they will be getting quite a show.

Since Gabriel wouldn't have minded getting a little hot and heavy in public, potential cameras were really no concern for him.

He groaned, gripping at Lindsey's belt to pull him closer. Honestly, the elevator seemed like a perfectly good place for sex, right? It was mostly private and everything!

Perfectly willing to make the perfect Kodak moment for any candid cameras, Lindsey pulled Gabriel closer by the curve of his ass to grind his growing bulge against the front of the other's pants. He was about a step away from reaching forward and undoing said pants when a mechanical ding interrupted his venture.

"Welcome to the fun floor," Lindsey said as he walked backwards out of the elevator. His hand hooked around the belt loop of Gabriel's pants as he moved and he used it to drag the other man out.
