at the feet of untamed things

Barnaby is restless. At first, he thought it was maybe boredom, just a moment of not being able to focus on anything, but no. He can feel an itch to do something, anything, that has him moving.

He'd tried playing music, which didn't really get him anywhere. It felt good for a few minutes, but then it only seemed to build up the restlessness even more. So he put down his violin and traded it for pacing the length of the livingroom with a book in hand.

It also doesn't really help, but doing two things at once makes things settle a tiny bit more. He needs to do something though, something that makes him move and keeps his attention.

Putting down the book, he digs up some of the rope they keep around, running his fingers over it before he starts to tie and untie it until he finds himself doing a series of ties on himself. It's at least posing enough of a challenge to keep him occupied, which is all he wanted.

The thought of going to get Jeremy had crossed his mind, as had going to go talk to Birch to see if they would be a good distraction, but this would do for now. He can pivot to something else when it stops working.

Jeremy had been sleeping, or attempting to sleep. Sometimes keeping the world out of his head was more exhausting than others. Times like these he always made sure that Barnaby knew it was not his fault he was tired. It is, however, his restless thoughts that keep bringing Jeremy back to wakefulness.

Eventually he gives up on sleep and wanders out into the livingroom. "Hey, do you," he trails off as he takes in what his partner is up to. "I was going to ask if you wanted something from the kitchen, but I see you are a little tied up at the moment." This he says with an amused smile.

He shakes his head and moves over to his partner to give him a kiss. "No, it's okay. I'd feel worse for making you leave."

He shakes his head again. "I'm fine. Instead I can lay down out here and you can tie and untie me? It can just be that, and I'll be laying down and with my favorite person."

"That sounds good." He snakes his arm around Barnaby as they head back to the bedroom.

Where he divests himself of the clothes he was sleeping in before flopping onto the bed. "I'm just assuming it'll be nicer without having clothes in the way."

He opens his eyes to smile at his boyfriend. "I'm sure. You are something that always makes me feel better."

He sighs with contentment when his love gives him more attention. "I'm doing good. This is letting me focus on you so I don't have to try so hard. Which lets me relax."

He makes a soft sound with his love's bite and returns the nuzzle.

"Do you want to do more? Something different?"

"I can sit up," he says easily. Getting up to sitting with his arms bound isn't as easy, but he gets there. Especially if his love gives him a hand.

He laughs when Barnaby points out that he was going to untie him first.

"So are you," he replies. He feels settled into himself that is unique for doing things like this with his love.

He nuzzles into his boyfriend and makes a pleased sound. "Seems like you are feeling better."

"My body is tired," he admits and snuggles closer to Barnaby, "but I'm enjoying being touched by you."

"That would be nice." He kisses his love's shoulder. "But if you get restless again you can wake me up and we'll figure out something to do."

While his love gets undressed, he gets under the covers. Holding them back for his love when he comes to join him.

There's no hesitation to press up against his beloved's side. He gives kisses to lips and skin before he settles in.
