( boiger... Mithrun copy & pastes Barrett's burger order into a separate document. He'll do some of his own research into how cooking this might work ahead of his flight. )
Okay. Thank you. I don't know what I like, so I don't know what to ask for, though... Anything you're proud of is fine.
He's surprised - in some positive way he can't articulate. He never thought much about whether someone could say his name right - not anymore, at least - but something about knowing how Barrett said it the first time and how Barrett said it now, such a slim time apart..
It's a sort of care that coils up in his chest funny, constricting around the heart. )
...I didn't want Kabru or anyone to laugh if I did it wrong. So I found someone in my algebra class that's taking French, and they helped me with the sounds in exchange for coffee.
[He hadn't been that motivated over a single non-restaraunt word in a while.]
It's such a simple request, and yet he can feel gooseflesh rise along his arms. There's a hum, then silence, the sound of noises changing and fading on the background with a rush of movement. The sounds of him finding somewhere else to stand, to talk.
When his voice picks back up, it's low and soft - affectionate, careful, the sensuality of it accidental if it happens at all.]
He doesn't know why he asked. He thought it'd just sound nice; and then— it's a little more than that. He feels the shiver first at his neck, and then his face a little warmer. His heart thumps heavy, but it doesn't feel so bad. )
... Barrett...
( He says his name without meaning to, with his exhale; a murmur, tinged with - excitement? fondness? maybe. He hadn't thought much of his name since the accident; told Hani they could have it if they wanted, even. But, for the first time... he feels a little anchored to it. )
[It's like pins and needles to his fingers and arms. Just a name. Just a statement. But he feels the heat come to his face slightly as he tucks his face against his phone, smile breaking the heat of his features unseen on the other side of the screen.]
...It's delicious.
[A drop of the stock that is Morgan.
He chuckles, a low sound deep from his chest.]
Don't jinx me, though, okay? I'd feel bad screwing it up on Saturday.
( ... "Delicious"... Something about that gets his coiled heart feeling funny; not so elegant that you could call it glittering, just - dizzy and stumbling like a silly drunk in his chest.
He slides down on the couch until he's not really sitting, until he can curl up nearly horizontal with the sound of Barrett's voice. He really does like his laugh. )
... Then I'll just have you repeat it until you get it right again. So long as it tastes good, for you.
He couldn't tell you why this is affecting him - he isn't even fully aware that it is. It's just - a creeping warmth working its way up from his chest to his cheeks. Happy, maybe. Is that the word? He shifts a little on the couch.
His lips part a few moments before he manages to find a thing to say. )
... And would you be satisfied with just that? Just my name?
[Would he? Was he ever satisfied in the glancing touches he gave? In his hesitations?
His swallow is thick over the speaker.]
...No.
But if that's all I had time to enjoy, I wouldn't let it go to waste. I take the portions I'm given.
[He's feeling warm. In his chest, his stomach. Increasingly aware he is in a public space, tucked away in a side hall. Unsure of what this conversation has turned into, but somewhat being unwilling to let it stop now that it's started.]
[There's a burn he can feel in his face, behind his eyes and the fingers that tightly hold his phone and a tongue that feels too big for his mouth. They're hardly talking about food anymore. Even he knows that. And he doesn't know if he should entertain the images that drift to him.
That wasn't for him. To eat up Morgan where they sat... that belonged to someone else.
And yet his stomach still rumbles. His heart aches in tune. A sentiment to be shared. No matter what part of Morgan he wanted to share, to present the stock of himself to him.
He didn't want to let it speed by. Whatever it might be.]
Doesn't matter the size. A portion is a portion. I don't waste it.
( Maybe "happy" isn't the exact word for this— This is... it's familiar, in a different context, but it's— he feels warm. His head, his cheeks, and heating up his sweltering chest. He hadn't been thinking too specific - before, but, he can't help but think - wonder, where would he start, where would he drag his tongue? Would he... )
... Would you lick your meal tender and slow, savoring the flavor...?
( He doesn't realize he'd pressed a finger to his ribs, in faint recollection of Barrett's tongue long his arm, and that it'd sailed some few centimetres down, just - a little above the navel. Nothing indecent. But it could've continued further down. He swallows, but his throat feels a little tight. )
... Or would you... take it into your mouth, sinking in your teeth into each piece?
[His mouth starts to ache. Heat churns from his stomach, a slow blossoming through his chest and deep into the pit of his hips.
This is dangerous. He's in public. It's getting hard to hide his face from passersby. But Morgan's voice holds him. Morgan's voice paints a picture of taste and texture, the sound of saliva and breath being caught and swallowed.
...]
I'd find the smallest pieces first. Take them in my lips. Let my teeth work every drop out before I stop to swallow.
I'd let it be rich... and delicious... Let my tongue taste first. My mouth. Bit by bit. Ease it into my teeth when I can feel how much I crave for it. How much I salivate.
[His exhaled is heated against the mic pickup.]
I'd bite. I'd lick. I'd swallow it up. I'd follow every line and curve for every drop...
[Ah. But his mind feels so fuzzy. Shit. He... shouldn't keep this up much longer.]

( It's, the way Barrett says it as much as the things he says, the way he breathes warm and the way he lingers on every word like he's - teething him in real time, starting from the fingers, his broad tongue working his way around his - while he works up along the arm, like he had that day, that picnic...
His eyes are closed, so it's so easy to imagine - his teeth, his tongue, sinking into, )
... I—... would let you have you fill... as many times as you'd like. I'd...
( He swallows finally - his voice wet, his breath a little shaky. There's a heat at the pit of his stomach, his heart beating, tripping over itself. This feeling is... )
... I'll... call you back, ( and then, with a low exhale, sounding indecent when he doesn't mean to be, ) Barrett...

I'll find something for you. :-) Even if I have to try a bunch of things.
I'll still get to do it with you.
[And the thought of it is exciting. He's glad no one is commenting on how openly he smiles at his phone in the middle of the university library.]
no subject
I'll see you soon.
( And by that, he means, I look forward to seeing you. )

I'll look for Moneyball after I'm done studying for tomorrow. Promise.
[And maybe Faulkner. Who knows.]

After a whole day of football? Are you sure I'll even remember my uniform number?
Maybe I'll still remember the name of the book. :-)

Maybe it just means I need to take my time, then.
Lick my plate clean.
