All person's in this work are over the age of 18 years. I do not own these characters or locations therein.
Drizzt put his hands on the back of his neck, attempting in manipulate the muscles. He had been having a crick in his neck going on two days now, and it was beginning to get ridiculous. He thought about going to see the local doctor within Mithral Hall, but they aren't really known for their expertise in subtle muscle relaxation. They are more the, sew up, send back to the front lines kind of physicians. A loud pounding sounded from the door. Knowing only one person who could hit the door to his quarters so hard that the stones themselves would vibrate, Drizzt sighed.
"Come in Wulfgar."
The door swung open, giving way to the enormous form of the young barbarian. He was bare chested, clearly he had come from working the furnaces within Mithral Hall. Wulfgar was a talented metal smith. Which also explained why he wasn't wearing his weapon on his belt. Instead he was wearing leather bound shorts. His red hair hung loosely over his ears and lightly over his shoulders. He put his hands on his hips.
"Where have you been Drizzt, dinner is going to start any minute."
Drizzt gave a light sputter and turned back to his mirror, attempting to get his fingers in the right position.
"Tell Bruenor that I'll only be a few minutes, I just have to work this out."
Wulfgar strode straight up to Drizzt, staring at him intently.
"What seems to be the problem?"
Drizzt suddenly felt a bit self-conscious with Wulfgar's closeness. In profile the two of them couldn't be any more different. Wulfgar was massive, with strong, dominating muscles. Drizzt, while also quite muscular, was sleek, limber and had very dark skin. The tell-tale nature of his drow heritage. Yet beside the barbarian he seemed minuscule. Drizzt had no doubt he could best the less experienced fighter in a fair battle. Not that Wulfgar is anything less than a prime warrior, but Drizzt knew himself to be the more experienced. Drizzt allowed his eyes to wander quickly over the warriors muscles. If he wasn't careful, this man could dominate him if he allowed it.
Where did that thought come from?
Drizzt felt strong hands clamp down on his shoulders. For a moment he thought his friend was attacking him. Then he felt them gentle massage him.
"You are holding yourself too rigid Drizzt, you need to learn to relax."
Drizzt scoffed.
"I am in awe Wulfgar with your insight."
Wulfgar frowned.
"Sarcasm doesn't become you Drizzt, is your aching muscles all that is bothering you."
Drizzt allowed himself to enjoy the sensation the massage. He felt his neck loosening. He closed his eyes. He mumbled.
"Wulfgar, you can be a little tighter."
The warrior's hands tightened, kneading him further.
"Yess." Drizzt let out. He had to admit, this was pretty wonderful. Wulfgar suddenly stopped. Drizzt eyes snapped open, he turned upwards to face his friend.
"Oh, are you done?"
