Things were going well considering how tangled up his life was at that moment. He slow creeping toward the edge of the bed was nearing completion, a foot reaching toward the floor as he eased into an upright position. He hadn't realized leaving the bed would solve just one of his many problems. He couldn't very well exit the house and return home naked, but he'd deal with finding his clothes once he was free of the sheets. His head ache made even simply trying figure out how best to get out of bed a monumental task.
At last his foot found the floor as he was about to slip the other one free when warm fingers slid lightly across his back, producing shiver through Ekshan's body, whether in delight or fear was anyone's guess. The words that followed the touch were even more surprising, and Ekshan went rigid in response to the masculine voice, trying to make sense of just what that meant. His once fuzzy memories were jarred into embarrassing clarity, and he felt himself going red in response, not just a pink flush, but the red hot of shame. It was a shame born more of upbringing than actual regret. A life time of being taught that a certain behavior was wrong could not be shrugged away after just one night, at least not by Ekshan. The sudden revelation of something he didn't even realize existed within hims pushed him into action. It was more than his limited worldview could sustain.
Ekshan bolted, or he tried to but the sheets tangled rather than slipped away and he fell to the floor with a muffled thud and a grunt. "Fuck!" He snapped, struggling to free himself then jumping back to his feet. He spun about to face Gabrin, half fearing the man might try to jump him from behind, panting lightly as he stared wide eyed and wary at the other man. It took a moment before he recalled that he was still utterly naked, the cooler air of the room now that he'd left the warmth of the bed helping to clue him in.
Ekshan looked wildly about, snatching up a shirt and using it as a shield for his formerly private bits of anatomy. He gave Gabrin a dirty look as if it was all his fault and well it partly was. "Manners? You... You..." He sputtered while trying to form some coherent thought and frustrated by his inability to focus more on his thoughts than the man sprawled in front of him.
