Angel snorted a laugh as he was shoved and stuck his tongue out playfully at his brother. "You talk so big for someone who has about as much experince as I do." To be totally fair Apollo had a bit more experience. At least he was a better people person. Though he also knew if his brother wanted to take that girl to bed he could. "If you're so confident why haven't you? You were ogling her enough at the tavern." Did that second part come out more bitter than he intended?
The question about the soldier made him blink in confusion for a moment. "Who?" It took a moment of thought before it clicked just who his brother was talking about and he laughed again. More so in disbelief this time. "You mean the one I met at the water?" If he was being honest he hadn't really thought about Sebastian since he'd told Apollo about him.
"I think I scared him." He admitted with a chuckle as he turned to count the coin from the pouch. "Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm broken." He stated off handedly without looking up from his work. It wasn't really a sad or upset admission simply something he'd been thinking about for a while. Though it certainly wasn't the first time he'd referred to himself as 'broken' though this at least was for a different reason.

"Maybe I'm too good for her," he shot back. He didn't really mean that. He had very little idea about the maid and honestly, while his personal opinion of himself was rather high, even he would admit he had never had that sort of experience before. But he wanted to. Very badly. Apollo was positive most men their age were far more experienced.
He snorted. Angel had the capacity to be scary. But considering the stranger had run into him at bath time, Apollo believed it. Angel was pretty willing to fight anyone even when he didn't feel vulnerable and being naked made anyone feel vulnerable. Of course, Apollo was also certain the stranger had scared Angel too. Luck for that guy, Apollo knew his brother didn't need his help to filet someone who tried anything stupid.
"You're not broken. Those mere mortals are just boring. and you wouldn't like any of them anyway," he teased, settling onto their blanket strewn mattress with another yawn. "I'll sleep with you," he mumbled, mostly aware of what he was saying. Though he specifically meant sleeping until a thought occurred to him and he looked at his brother again. Had Angel been jealous earlier? Was that weird? Was he himself jealous of his brother? He caught himself staring at Angel, suddenly not sure how literal his words were and slightly confused by that.

"You don't even know her!" Angel retorted playfully with a giggle. Though he had no doubt if Apollo did know her he'd probably still think more highly of himself than her. Though his twins confidence -cockiness?- was something he admired in a way.
Certainly Angel wasn't physically intimidating by any means. He did still know he had the ability to put fear into people. He'd seen it in some of his mens eyes when they'd stepped over the line. The 'mere mortals' comment however made him snort. So dramatic. Though the next words out of his brothers mouth made him pause.
Given their topic of conversation and Angels confusing jealousy he wasn't sure just what Apollo meant. Or why it made his heart pound in his ears. For a moment he was silent as he finsihed his counting then put the pouch away. He turned with a sigh before moving to straddle his twins thighs. "Sleep with me? Or on top of me?" Certain he hadn't meant what a nagging little voice in the back of his mind thought Apollo had meant.

Apollo shrugged. "Exactly. I don't know her." It was probably a good thing he thought so highly of himself, since it meant he had quite high standards for who he would deign to sleep with. He wasn't a narcissist exactly, but he did have an immense about of self confidence and whoever he slept with, especially for the first time, had to be worth it.
He smiled, happy to see his brother enjoying his humor at least a little. Angel suddenly depositing himself in Apollo's lap as he leaned back on the bed wasn't anything new. Much like the demand for piggy back rides, the slighter twin had a habit of throwing himself at his brother and his brother was used to catching him, or at least being a cushion. He was pretty sure that was half the reason Angel liked cuddling, since they didn't have that many pillows. This time though, he wasn't entirely sure what to say. Had he said with? He shut his slightly open mouth suddenly, studying the expression on Angel's face that seemed to mirror his own. There was an earnest cast to it. A curiosity. A need. All entirely concealed by the knowledge that they were related.
Unlike the barmaid, he knew Angel. He loved Angel. As a brother. As...something else. Sure, he knew Angel wasn't physically the same, that he had different parts, but he had been born with a brother, not a sister. He was therefore very much attracted to his brother, not a sister. Which...all in all was still confusing. With that confusing mess sitting on his lap though, only inches away... Apollo leaned forward, hands still on the mattress, and pressed their lips together.
Maybe he was a narcissist after all.

Despite how cold and distant he was to most people Angel was in fact a very physically affectionate person. The closer he was to someone the more affectionate he became. It was why he liked being carried by Apollo, why he'd plop onto his lap at any given time, why he was happy to fall asleep in his chest or to wake up smothered by him. He loved his brother more than anyone else.
He loved Apollo as his brother, his partner in crime, his bestfriend. Loved Apollo as...something far more? That was confusing. A confusion he'd been ignoring and pushing away. Still, looking down at him now it seemed a little harder to push away as he had been. Was he really broken?
As he felt Apollos lips against his own Angels whole body froze. Mostly out of shock. Certainly they'd kissed each other before. On the cheek, the forehead, the nose. Apollo had kissed his scrapes, brusises, and scratches to make them feel better. This wasn't the same. It didn't feel the same. This was the first time someone had ever purposefully kissed him on the lips.
And he wasn't pulling away from it. The smaller twins eyes closed as he hesitantly wrapped his hand around the back of his twins neck. Slipping further down his thighs to be closer to him.

Sure, sometimes Angel was emotionally inconsiderate and distant, but Apollo knew him to be quite the affectionate person, having grown up as the only family each other had. He might complain about all the spontaneous touching, but he did enjoy it. And honestly, it was about time he returned some of his own.
He had never kissed someone on the lips before. Never kissed his brother in a way that wasn't teasingly on the cheek or a means to distract him from something else. Angel kissed him more, for injuries and the like, which always made Apollo equate him to the most maternal figure of the troop.
His gut instinct as Angel melted against him was to pull away and make a bad joke. But the arm around his neck encouraged him not to. He felt Angel press against him and while it wasn't a new feeling, it was...different. Apollo leaned forward farther, the kiss becoming more passionate and earnest instead of tentative and teasing. He slide his hands up Angel's thighs and then came to rest just below his slender hips. For a moment, he didn't think about anything except the feeling of his twin against him and while his movements and the kiss were all a little bit awkward for the first time...it felt good.
And then he broke away to breath, looking up at Angel with a confused expression, lips slowly curling into a hopeful smile. "With?" he barely breathed the word after a moment. There was certainly some part of him that screamed with was wrong. But it was that very feeling of risk and rebellion that drove hi in so many other pursuits of his life.

There was a window for either of them to pull away. To male some joke or brush it off as a prank. That window was closed though as Apollo pushed further into the kiss. Taking it from a small, innocent peck, to more passionate. Angel could hear his own heartbeat in his ears as he wrapped his other arm around his twins neck. The feeling of his hands running up his thighs making him shiver.
Things felt awkward and a little clumsy but...good. Wrong but good. Had they been friends or even cousins things might have felt different but did he want them to feel different? Not really.
As Apollo pulled away Angel took a quick breath and felt his cheeks burn red hot as he looked down at the other blonde. The question made him let out a nervous, soft breathy chuckle. "W-With?" He stumbled over the word a bit but nodded nonetheless. "Sounds like a good idea."

Okay, so...they slept together normally. Like, shared a bed and blankets, fought over pillows, cuddle close togehter for warmth or shoved the other out of bed when it was already hot outside. But that was platonic. That was family sleeping together because they were family and poor and close both physically and emotionally. Apollo had never thought of sleeping with his brother. Of doing anything of that nature with his brother.
At least until he kissed him and now Angel was confirming a similar desire out loud and the blonde was convinced one of them would bail and admit it was an elaborate joke, or chicken out but from his own tone, he knew he meant it and from Angel's stumble and the heat on his face, he knew he did too. Apollo felt his own cheeks burning as he realized this.
Fuck.
He didn't...actually know how to do that. With someone. Let alone Angel. But...well...he was sure Angel didn't either. And while he might tease his brother, that wasn't something he judged him on. So...maybe it would be okay. "Yeah, uh...so, I know I kissed you first but...I don't...do we..." Normally words and charm were easy but for a moment, he lost all of it. He took a breath, letting his gaze slip down from his brother's face, over his collarbone and then binder covered chest and then lower.
"You know what?" he said, tugging his own tunic up and over his head, "How 'bout, I just kiss you again?" He said, teasing. Not about the overall moment, just about what to do. And then he wrapped one arm around Angel's back and pulled him into a close kiss again.

To be fair Angel hadn't really thought about what he was saying before the words came out of his mouth. Though he did mean it. It just made his heart feel like it was in his throat. There was still a part of him that expected Apollo to shove him off and laugh at him.
While he knew neither of them had any kind of real intimate experience it still made him giggle as Apollos confident facade crumbled a bit. Angel couldn't help the way he trembled with laughter that was a mixture nervousness and an odd relief. If just to see that he wasn't the only one dealing with anxiety at the moment. As many times as he'd seen Apollo take off his shirt this felt different. Almost like he needed to look away.
"Just kiss me." He teased as he leaned in and pressed their lips together. A bit clumsy at first but that didn't seem to stop either of them.
