Joey / Nick please

'always falling for the easy' - something about that just puts me in mind of these two, maybe in an AU setting, (and when am I not in the mood for beautiful solid boys getting it on, really?) so : pretty please with sugar on top?

"Ready to pull up here?" They were approaching the rollers. Nick, not surprisingly, was a great deal more help than Tricia in the awkward procedure of getting the punt from one level to the other. He had a very fine butt, Joey noted, watching his new acquaintance lean over to haul on the rope.

Joey resumed punting, in a leisurely way. It was past ten now, and very nearly dark. Thank God for college-owned punts you could take out till all hours.

"I'd offer to take a turn," Nick said, "but—oh, wow!" They were approaching Trinity, where the wide lawn was bedecked for fairytale: coloured lights and music and girls in swirling finery, silk and chiffon, their escorts elegant in black tie or even, here and there, tails. Nick's face lit up like a child watching the lights on a Christmas tree.

Joey let the punt drift gently past the jewelled scene. "Don't think you'd look right," he commented. "College rugby shirt, not exactly formal dress."

"True. Besides, I'm enjoying the view from here." Nick grinned lazily.

They floated under the Bridge of Sighs. Joey steered the punt adroitly into the John's mooring, and both of them stepped out.

"You wanna carry the rucksack?" Joey offered, trying not very hard not to smirk. Nick shot him a mildly reproachful look from beneath his eyelashes, and held the rucksack defensively in front of himself. "Come up to my room. I'll find you some trousers."

"Ah," said Nick. "I was hoping I might get you out of yours."

"Before or after the beer?" said Joey.

Nick smiled at him. "I'm easy," he said.

Oh. I like this. :) It's lighthearted and I really needed to read something lighthearted tonight.

Gods, hon, you'd be entirely within your rights to be miffed with me, managing to miss this gem - the more so because it's absolutely perfect! You have such a deft touch for painting a scene that I can wander around inside admiring from different angles - and really, topless Joey and bottom-less Nick really is worth admiring from all angles! [plus! smart boys!] Thank you, thank you, and once more, thank you. And also apologies.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it - it's sorta based on a punt trip I took in about 1980, without the decorative boys, alas. But I think I made up the island.
