Who: Jimmy and Camden
What: Hiding him for the weekend
When: This weekend
Where: Starting at the airport
Rating: TBD

There were some people in Camden's 'line of work' that were easier to work with than others. Some were much less pleasant to be around, were entirely too crabby and demanding or in contrast were painfully clingy, needy, or weepy. Those sorts made the likes of Jimmy Monroe seem angelic.

For a politician, he was surprisingly pleasant to be around, though Camden had to wonder if that was only because he was doing him such a great 'favor'. Still, there weren't all that many politicians that could pull off hiding their private lives with so much charm.

At present, Cam was sitting in the front seat of a black car, tapping his fingers idly against the steering wheel. Congressman Monroe was due any moment now, and though he would never press his clients, nor ask unnecessary questions, he had to admit he was curious as to what 'rather nice place' he was in for.

Jimmy shivered when he pulled open the door and immediately Cam used his power on him. He'd used it to hide him before but it was like throwing ice cubes down his pants - no matter how many times his niece and nephews did it to him, it still shocked him each time and made him jump around. Jimmy was half tempted to look in the mirror to make sure it was working but he figured that'd be a pretty insulting move so he just nodded and took Cam's word for it that he was hidden.

He didn't really know what to say to Camden as he walked alongside him and headed down to the beach with him. "So.." He shoved his hands in his pockets, "How long have you been hiding people?" Gosh, this was awkward. It was like a first date.

Camden was a little surprised Jimmy was so eager to talk to him. Most of the time his clients were keen on ignoring the fact that he was there. He had to admit that it was a nice change of pace.

As he answered, he did his best not to look like a schizophrenic talking to himself. "For a living? Since I attempted college. Wasn't really my kind of place." He had figured out right quick that getting a 'general education' wasn't his forte. "But I've been doing it- well, I started with objects when puberty hit, then figured out I could hide people when I was... I don't know... fifteen or so."

He glanced over at the misty image briefly. "So. How long have you been hiring people to hide you?"

Jimmy nodded and grinned. He connected the dots and figured that Camden found his comment about knowing each other in college funny earlier, because he didn't particularly like college. Had Jimmy known that, he might have come up with a lie that was more believable or fitting at least. "It's not for everyone. You can't learn how to hide people and make a business out of it in college."

He nodded again. Puberty seemed to be the time when everyone's powers started to kick in, as if middle and high school weren't tough enough. "That's when everyone started getting... abilities."

His eyes met Cam's for a minute and he chuckled. "I don't remember. When was the first time I hired you?"

"You're right about that much." Though he had figured out exactly what kind of clientele he should be aiming for in college, and generally speaking, they weren't the most savory, thoughtful sorts. It still struck him as odd that Jimmy had asked for his aid, though perhaps he had an entirely different side he hadn't seen yet. Most people had two faces these days.

"Would you be offended if I told you I wasn't entirely sure?" he answered, shrugging.

Jimmy smirked and shook his head as the two made their way through the sand, towards the water. "No, I don't remember when I first hired you either. It's not important." For a moment, Jimmy just walked in silence with Camden. He wanted to get to know him but what was he supposed to say? Camden didn't exactly seem like the most talkative person.

"So what else do you do?" Jobs seemed like something else Jimmy could hold a conversation with Camden about. "Since I'm assuming you don't do this all the time. It has to be incredibly draining."

"It's not so bad. I've done it so many times that it's gotten easier. I'm a bartender." It wasn't exactly the most upscale establishment, but it helped keep suspicious eyes off of the money he kept in the bank (or the money he didn't make as much of an effort to hide, anyway), and the guy who owned the place let him get away with his odd hours in exchange for the occasional cloaking favor. It was an ideal situation.

You know, the funny thing about beaches, they have a tendency to make you too relaxed, let your guard down. of course, liquor helps that situation. Those fruity little drinks packed a serious punch, and though Cam wasn't exactly to the point of slurring and stumbling, he had reached the point where he was comfortable laughing with- and at- a stranger, and the way their conversation had turned told him Jimmy was feeling the same.

"Come on. Someone who looks like you would've made an excellent trophy husband. You could've kicked up your heels and been a kept man. That's all I'm saying!" Cam had no idea how they'd gotten to that point. At some point on the beach, he'd decided Jimmy wasn't prudish enough to mind him removing his shirt and it was long gone as they entered the elevator back up to their rooms.

Jimmy rubbed his forehead a few times and smiled at Cam. He could tell that he had had one too many drinks with Camden on the beach. They were tall glasses and easily deceived anyone who was thirsty and wanted a bit of liquor. But it was a vacation after all and a few drinks weren't going to do too much to a big guy like Jimmy.

Mixed with compliments like Cam was throwing at him, those few drinks were going to pack a punch. He didn't really know how to respond to Camden. He knew how he was supposed to respond but his inhibition was half way out the window and he wasn't about to pull it back in. 'Let loose,' Jimmy thought to himself. 'What happens in Hawaii, stays in Hawaii.'

"Well, you're the pretty little blonde thing. You look much better on someone's arm," Jimmy smiled and reached over to push aside a tuft of Cam's blonde hair.

(ooc: His hair is long like in his icons, right? xD otherwise, I'll change that)

Cam's head titled slightly to the side. In every situation there was a line. Sometimes it was finer than others, but it was always apparent when it had been crossed. You could always pinpoint when it happened. Those fingers in his hair danced right across it, and Cam felt his smirk growing as he nonchalantly eased slightly closer. "Turns out I like my job too much to play arm candy." His gaze flickered to the older man's lips and back up again. "It has its perks."

Jimmy's eyes locked with Camden's when he moved his hair aside and he watched as he spoke and then looked at Jimmy's lips. He didn't say anything about it even though he could have given him a lecture about being his employer and stuff like this being inappropriate, but he wasn't in his right mind to be doing something like that. And he wasn't exactly innocent either.

He opened his mouth to speak and the elevator dinged, the doors sliding open. Jimmy glanced from the doors to Camden and he slipped out of the elevator before the doors closed. "...do you want to come over for a little?" He ran a hand through his curls and smiled at Camden, hoping he'd come with.

	Well, this was certainly an interesting turn of events. "I could do that," he answered, easing out of the elevator after him. He wasn't going to assume anything, what with the man inviting him over being his employer and all, but he had never been the kind of person to say no to an attractive person either.

Jimmy started grinning from ear to ear when Camden said he'd come over. He walked ahead of him, leading the way to his room. As soon as the two of them got in the room, he closed the door behind them and motioned for Camden to take a seat either on the edge of the bed or in the chair at the desk. "Do you want something to drink?" Jimmy reached for the bottle of liquor on the table and poured himself a bit more to drink. He turned over the second cup and looked over at Cam. "You don't have to hide me anymore, by the way."

Cam eased down on to the bed, eyeing the liquor in his employer's hand. "I'm alright, thanks." He needed to be on top of his game tomorrow if he had to hide the senator for an entire day. No one wanted to be hungover on the job.

Speaking of, with Jimmy's permission, he let the man become visible again. He felt that tension disappear and rolled his shoulders back. "Consider yourself visible."

Jimmy shrugged and put the second glass down, picking up his own instead and taking a sip. He shouldn't be drinking either but he was in his room and if he did anything stupid, Cam would surely stop him. When Cam made him visible again, Jimmy smirked and took a seat next to him.

"Thank you," he looked over at Cam and made sure to make eye contact with him. "For everything." Jimmy took another sip from his glass and looked Cam over. His eyes lingered on Camden's lips and then back up to his eyes, repeating the pattern a few more times before looking away completely. He knew better than to do something like that, especially at his age.

	Cam's brows shot up as Jimmy walked away. "You're thanking me?" he asked, amused. "You're the one who flew me out to Hawaii." It wasn't exactly a hard job, enjoying the beach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well..." Jimmy looked at Camden and smiled. "Yeah. I know I flew you out here, but you didn't have to agree to come and do this. You could have said no." He ignored the fact that he had offered a nice fat pay check to Camden for doing him this job.

He turned to face Camden with one leg on the bed, under him and the other dangling over the edge of the bed. Jimmy hesitated, just looking at Camden and debating what to do, debating what was appropriate. There was a hot young man sitting right in front of him and all he could think about was kissing him and having a damn good time with him. Jimmy's spouse completely took the back burner because, for the first time since they'd married, he was in a bedroom with another person and he could do stuff without anyone having to know but the two of them.

After thinking about it with a hazy thought process, Jimmy cupped Cam's cheek with his free hand. He stroked Camden's cheek with his thumb and leaned in to kiss him, though he did brace himself for a well-deserved rejection and slap across the face.

Even if, in some alternate universe, Camden was somehow offended by the passes of an attractive, well-to-do, congressman, the notion of him ever slapping a client was laughable.

As it was, Camden was not the easily offended sort, if that wasn't obvious by his easy return of Jimmy's lingering glances.

As Jimmy shifted forward, Cam returned the favor, and though slightly taken aback by the gentleness, he eagerly kissed him back, one hand vanishing up into the other man's hair.

	Jimmy tensed right before Cam kissed him back and the glass that he had slipped out of his hand. It fell to the floor, shattering on the hard wood and the contents splashed all over the ground. Jimmy paid no attention to the glass breaking though, and instead pulled Camden closer with both hands free now, stealing kisses from him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Egged on by the sound of Jimmy's dropped glass, Camden made an attempt to deepen the kiss as his spare hand took the chance to wander, shifting over strong shoulders and down to a chest Camden felt was surely entirely too fit for a politician. (Reply to this) (Parent)
