It was raining.
Thomas was sitting upright in his bed, bundled up in blankets, trying desperately to stay warm. He hadn't even been able to go to classes today to observe the humans... he sat there, rocking back and forth, still shuddering, alone in his dorm. But he was used to being alone by now. It was ok to be alone.
Suddenly the door unlocked. "Hey."
"...hello... it took you... too long to get here..."
"I couldn't help it. Hey... why are you looking at me like that?"
"Take... take off your rain jacket. It's wet."
"Right, sorry."
"I just... I'm so cold..."
"Yes?" Robert stood there, hands on his hips, a gentle smile on his face.
"Do you remember... that thing that you do sometimes? When our lips are pressed together?"
Robert laughed. "Kissing?"
"Yes." Thomas flushed, if that was possible.
"Could we do that now? It makes me warm."
"Of course." Robert took Thomas's neck, and wrapped his arms around him. Thomas swallowed with difficulty. Robert pressed his forehead against his.
"Wow... you are really cold... you must be cold blooded then."
"Huh?"
"That means you adapt to the temperature around you. You feel like ice." He caressed Thomas's neck, his fingers stroking pleasurably against Thomas's silky skin.
Thomas sighed. "Kiss me."
"Hold on a moment." Robert chuckled as Thomas glared at him impatiently. Robert hopped onto the bed, and quietly got into the covers with Thomas, wrapping himself around his friend, Thomas's back pressed against his chest. His hands moved under Thomas's shirt, still caressing him, massaging around Thomas's hips.
Thomas tried to seem uninterested, but Robert felt his breathing quicken. "Does this feel good?" He chuckled.
"...yes." Thomas said, rather decisively. "It's warm. Keep doing that."
"How are you doing with your data collecting?"
"Oh! I have learned much about the human race thus far. Today I learned about your country called Japan and about the cartoons produced there."
"Right." Robert moved his hands upward, touching his chest. He bent over, kissing Thomas's ear. Thomas seemed to blush. Robert felt around for Thomas's nipples, but... "Do you not have any?"
"What?"
"May I take this off?"
"Huh...? No! It keeps me warm."
"I promise you, my hands are much warmer."
"...you had better not lie to me."
Thomas's shirt was lifted up and tossed away. Surely enough, there was nothing-no nipples nor navel. Robert blinked a second at the sight. Then he pushed Thomas to lie down.
"What are you doing? What are you-?"
Robert bent down, and buried his nose in Thomas's chest. He inhaled, his hands touching and massaging Thomas's sides gently. Then he kissed him, where Thomas's heart would have been.
"You can kiss... there, too?"
Robert didn't answer. He just massaged and touched him. Then, suddenly-he bit him. Thomas gasped, but Robert held on a little longer, before letting go.
"What... what was that for?"
"Are you still cold?"
"...no. Not... not so badly anymore."
Robert chuckled. He moved his mouth upward, kissing Thomas's clavicle, then his throat. He reached the side of his neck and bit down again, and kissed him, and bit down again. Suddenly he looked down at Thomas's chest.
"Your skin... it bruises easier than mine does, huh?"
