Halloween was one of the busy periods for Felix’s party planning business and this year was no exception. As usual he was in charge of the planning for the higher profile clients which meant lots of meetings and preparation. The next few months would be just as busy with Thanksgiving and Christmas so now was the time for Felix to figure out how to fit his relationships into the mix and that included spending time with Josh.
In his dreams, one of the ways that Felix made money was painting and while it wasn’t the same sort of painting, he’d been wanting to paint his room so a while now so he’d asked Josh if he’d help and when his boyfriend agreed, Felix had gone out and bought the paint and other supplies they would need then when the weekend rolled around, he’d ordered a pizza once Josh arrived then started prepping the room, “Have I thanked you for agreeing to help me?”
Josh is still self conscious about his facial situation, especially about his teeth because fucking hell those are hideous. At least the glamour is working (he’d picked a bracelet, so he didn’t lose the damn thing) and he could go to class and get on with his damn life after an extended illness.
At least Felix still loves him. And that’s everything.
He kisses Felix’s cheek, rubbing his hand over his arm, down to take and squeeze his hand. “I’m happy to. I can’t promise mad painting skills, but I’ll help.”
Felix laughed and turned his head to press a quick kiss to Josh’s lips as he squeezed his hand back. It had taken a little time to get used to kissing Josh after the dreams had given him half the face of a wendigo, but Felix loved Josh and as they say, love is blind and now Felix barely even noticed. “You don’t have to be a brilliant artist to paint a wall.” He finished pouring the paint into a tray and picked up one of the rollers, “I can promise that I won’t be any better though. I’m only an artist in my dreams.”
“You’d think if weird shit could carry over from dreams, cool things like being an artist could, too.” He smiles a little at the kiss (and maybe blushes shut up). “So what colour are we doing. Something wild and wacky I hope.”
“It’s almost too bad none of my paintings have come over. I did a whole series of Sarah and her sestras. I kind of wish I had those.” Felix said as he picked up a screwdriver and started prying open one of the cans of primer, “First primer. Then dark blue.” Right now all of the walls in his room were white except for the one near his bed, which was brick.
“Dark blue is very sexy. It brings out your eyes.” He presses a quick kiss to Felix’s cheek, still self conscious about the way his teeth must feel. “Are we just painting the white, or are we going wild and painting the brick. Too?”
“You think so? Didn’t know that dark blue did anything to brown.” Sometimes Felix’s eyes looked very dark brown, but when the light caught them they were a much lighter shade of brown. He smiled when Josh kissed him and honestly was a lot more used to the whole teeth situation then he thought he would be. “We’re gonna paint the plain walls. Leave the brick alone.” After mixing the primer, he poured it into a tray and held a paint roller out the Josh, “We’ll do the big wall first. Get that out of the way then move on to the other one.”
“So we’re basically painting the wall twice. Lame.” He dabs primer on Felix’s nose with a wink before he starts in on his section of the wall.
“When are you taking off your shirt and getting all sexy with it? That’s what happens in porn right? You get hot and sweaty and have to take your shirt off, and then paint drips on your bare chest and stuff.”
Felix laughed and rubbed the paint off his nose before turning to his wall, “And how much painting do they actually get done in those pornos? Very little cause they’re too busy shagging and making a mess.” Felix was smirking as he spoke, his thoughts straying to thoughts of Josh naked and covered in paint.
“I don’t think any painting. Like two stripes on the wall before they start fucking.” He’s quiet for a moment, trying to get his primer coat on evenly, standing on his toes to get up high.
Then out of nowhere he says, “Okay but edible body paint.”
Felix’s brows rose at that and he glanced over his shoulder at Josh, “Edible body paint? Maybe if you’re good, you’ll get some for Christmas.” Turning back to the wall, he coated his roller again and went back to painting, half the wall done with the first coat of primer already.
“Yeah?” Josh grins, hating a little the way it feels on the ruined side of his face and stopping quickly enough. “What do you want for Christmas, babe? I’m awful with presents.”
“Well, I did have fun painting you at that black light party,” Felix had had a great time at that party and sometimes thought about throwing one himself, “I’m not sure. I’ll have to think about it. Make a list or something.” Felix enjoyed Christmas, because he loved buying things for his friends and family.
“And check it twice?” he teases, bumping his hip against Felix’s. “I bet you’re swamped with all sorts of fancy party requests and shit.”
“You have no idea. It’s not even Halloween yet and we’ve already got requests from our regular clients for their Christmas parties.” When Felix had first thought of starting a party planning business he’d never dreamed that it would become what it was today, but he was extremely glad that it had taken off the way it had, because it was nice not having to worry too much about money, “I’m going to be swamped until New Years.” He was just lucky that he had good employees that could handle a lot of the jobs.
Honestly, Josh is so proud of his boyfriend with his booming business. He figures he’ll probably never make anything of himself, but at least Felix has his shit together. “Well I’d offer to help but about all I’m good at is tapping a keg.”
“I appreciate the offer, but I think we have it under control.” Felix smiled as he finished up his section of the wall then turned to Josh and without thinking about it, wiped the roller on his boyfriend’s sleeve. “Oops. How clumsy of me.”
Josh fake gasps, putting his hand over his mouth in an exaggerated display of horror. “Oh you bitch!” Dropping the roller, he straight up dips his fingers into the paint and smears it across the front of Felix’s shirt.
Felix couldn’t help but laugh at Josh’s response and as paint was smeared onto the front of his shirt, he rolled the roller over Josh’s head, getting what paint remained on it into his boyfriend’s black hair, “You wouldn’t look half bad with blue hair, you know that?”
“Maybe I’ll do that in the new year. New year new me, right?” He grins and kisses Felix on the cheek. “Who knows what can happen?”
“If you do, let me dye it,” Felix smiled as Josh kissed his cheek and brought his paint stained fingers up to cup his boyfriend’s cheek as he turned his own head to kiss his lips then gave him a bit of a shove towards his bed, “I think it’s time to take a break.” He smirked as he reached for the hem of Josh’s shirt.
