An affair with a student could get him in quite a bit of trouble but Dorian cared very little for the politics of the University. Of course, it helped that he had tenure now. No one would doubt that Dorian Pavus was a leading expert in Roman history and traditions, especially those pertaining to to death. The University was lucky to have him as a Professor. There were plenty in Rome who had many offers that were very, very generous. They could over look his personal affairs, mostly his tendency to party. This was the first time he had taken up with a student.

It wasn't as if Bramen was in his program or the student he was advising. Those students were strictly off limits because it was a professional relationship. Bramen? He was just a random student that had ended up in his class that was clever enough to warrant Dorian's attention. That attention had gone into romantic feelings and well, here they were.

The relationship didn't interfere with his work any. Dorian was in his office, grading papers that he had promised his students would be done by the end of the week. He still had plenty of time to do so. He was waiting for Bramen to get home from his shift but that thought was in the back of his mind. He was not sitting at the door waiting like some sort of excited puppy. He was smitten, yes, but he wouldn't let that interfere with his work.

Tonight, he was hungry and recovering from his hangover. Hangovers always made him hungry because he couldn't stand to eat anything for a few hours until the worst of it passed. He had his ginger tea which kept his stomach down and hydrated him which was what he desperately needed. Once Bramen got home with dinner Dorian would jump all over that.

"Ugh, no." He made a face at the idea. It sounded horrible. "I think we should have a shower and then go to bed. Unless you have work to finish?"

He brushed his lips along Bramen's temple, gentle and caring. They have no reason to get dressed, really. Dorian figured they could crawl in to bed after, cuddle until they fell asleep.

"How does that sound to you?" he asked. His fingers brushed along the back of Bramen's neck, a barely there touch. He adores touching his lover, especially when he was sweet and soft like this. This was the sort of cuddling he adored.

"I do have some work I need to finish," Bramen murmured, nuzzling the underside of Dorian's chin again. "But I could shower with you, crawl into bed for a bit..."

Cuddling with Dorian was always preferred to doing work, even if it involved his photography.

"Bring your laptop upstairs after we shower. You can work in bed."

Dorian would cuddle up to him and sleep while Bramen worked. He could sleep through anything. It came from living in cities his whole life. He had more trouble sleeping when it was quite. Without the city noise around him Dorian felt lost.

"Come on, up then. We'll shower and then you can work."

"In a minute," Bramen cooed, wrapping his arms around Dorian's neck and curling his legs in closer. He closed his eyes, not yet ready to leave his partner's warm and comforting embrace. He nuzzled against that neck once again, hands idly tracing patterns against his back.

"I want to sit here for a while longer."

He grabbed a throw blanket from the back of the couch and wrapped it around both of them. It would keep them from getting cold as the sweat dried between them.

"We can stay here as long as you'd like."
