Glada Vappen!

[suomi_thunder]

Aarne hadn't celebrated holidays properly in over a year which left him feeling disconnected. Giant bonfires in the streets and rampant reindeer were frowned upon in most civilized cities, unless of course the punks were involved, then that was arson not celebrations.. ok, well for the punks it was a celebration but not for a Saami.

In the Nexus though, oh here he could do whatever he wanted, or that was what he had learned in his few visits. He had been planning and cooking and collecting. The gods probably don't even know where he stirred up reindeer from in the Nexus but he has and Mouka was happy to have a job keeping them corralled. His usual rock gear is augmented with his family necklace and oddly doesn't look too out of place with rest of his wildness.

He didn't have a lot but parties always started this way. The host had some things and then people came and brought more booze and food, ordering all kinds of things. Aarne did bring Mead, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and a a bunch of lemon tippaleipä batter. He had cooked some but this was something he could show visitors how to make on their own. The honey mead based sugar in a large bowl. Strips of dried reindeer meat and juustoleipä, a Finnish reindeer milk cheese, are out on the table too. There are fruits; strawberries, apples, and nuts which were common as well as a cream from reindeer milk traditional to the culture and nearly like unfermented yogurt.

That all done he looked to the huge pile of logs that he had gotten from various people around the Nexus. The Sami added leaves to it to create smoke at first to attract others. Before lighting it he put up a banner of hide dedicated to the Akka, the female fertility spirits, decorated with the same imagery as his traditional drum. It was sentimental, the first drum he ever learned to play.

Drum in hand he poured kerosene on the log pile and lit it. The reindeer spooked at the sudden fire but soon calmed, especially when the tall Fin went among them.

Comments

It felt refreshing to actually have someone who was just like him. Crazy, loud and attractive. Also, Aarne was feminine and yet masculine at the same time. He loved all of this and the way the Fin was kind and loving too. It made his own heart beat faster at the prospect of having a boyfriend that would take him at face value.

"I wouldn't think it's boring, honey. Just---I'm from a big city and this will be a big cultural change for me. You might need to give me time to adjust a little."

He wanted to make that point clear because as much as he loved Aarne and the thought of staying with his people---the bassist was jumping in a the deep end and needed time to adapt a little. It would be fun though. No doubts there, it was just Joe was wondering what it would be like. City boy meets nomadic lifestyle almost.

"Drink, tell stories, play games? That's my kind of life, mate. Do I get to cuddle up with you under a fur blanket in bed?"

[suomi_thunder]

Aarne adored Joe's energy and wrapped his long arms around him as they sat together.

"Don't worry. You'll be fine."

Aarne gave him a kiss on the cheek. He knew it would take time, though he was much younger and the city smaller than London, Aarne remembered moving as a kid. Joe would have an easier adjustment at least. Though as he sipped the mead, the drummer started giggling and gave Joe's collar a tug.

"Do you think I'm going to let you sleep anywhere else?" There it was again, the invitation to stay. He dreamed of Joe staying and every time he felt his heart clench in his chest because no one ever had before. The Brit had already stayed longer than anyone else. He could walk out at any moment.

[helland_damnation]

"I mean I've lived through some tough winters in the city but they're probably nothing like what you tough bastards are used to."

He smiled and leant into the long arms now cuddled around him. London's winters could be cold but Lapland? They were on an entirely different level altogether but the Brit was tougher than he looked and wanted to experience all of Aarne's land with him. Sipping his mead, he enjoyed the flavours now coating his tongue.

"I'm not sleeping anywhere else. Fuck that. I want to be with you, babe."

Joe grinned and offered his Fin up a kiss to his lips; a slow and meaningful kiss before breaking off and drinking more mead, finishing his wooden cup in one.

[suomi_thunder]

"We have warmer clothes and you get used to it." Aarne was resilient to cold compared to some of the others.

Aarne giggled into the kiss and then slowly pulled away. "Let's go get a camera before we visit the reindeer."

Visit was such a weird word to use since the animals were in view. Aarne didn't care.

[helland_damnation]

"I'm sure you do get used to it having thick skin."

Joe smiled and touched Aarne's arm, squeezing slightly, just wondering how cold his people's land really was. He'd just pack the right amount of clothes for the duration. As for the camera---yes. They needed to get a good one so the bassist could take some quality snaps of his time with Aarne and his people.

"Does this mean I get to take dirty shots of you naked laying on the furs?"

Of course Joe had to ask that as he slipped his hand into the Fin's and squeezed softly, walking towards the shops.

[suomi_thunder]

"You'll get used to it."

Aarne assured him and the Fin would help him pack. He wondered if Joe had any boots without heels. Even Aarne, with his love of heeled boots, had to leave his behind to visit his family if it was winter.

"If you didn't I would wonder if you were sick or something." He took Joe's hand and gave it a squeeze. he liked that this was where his mind went and it meant they spent time enjoying each other's company.

[helland_damnation]

"You know it, babe. I always wants to take snaps of that peachy ass of yours. As well as the rest of you."

The Brit kissed the side of Aarne's cheek as they walked to the shops. Would he get used to sleeping under furs with the Fin in amongst the freezing lands? Possibly. It would be a culture shock but Joe was looking forward to spending time with his lover away from the bright lights of fame.

"I think I need some proper clothes for this trip. You know----warm clothes and boots. That sort of thing."

He was trying to be practical here, even though practicality wasn't high on Joe's list usually.

[suomi_thunder]

"I saw you taking some while I was asleep the other morning." Aarne teased while squeezing Joe's hand. He didn't mind because it felt good to be seen as beautiful for once.

"I'll shop for you. You can also wear some of the things I have at home." Though Aarne was taller they were similar build and height. He finally sees the store and turns into it to let Joe fight what he wanted.

[helland_damnation]

"Oh, you noticed? I was trying to get them in before you woke up. You dirty bitch."

Joe laughed and playfully jabbed Aarne softly in his side, enjoying the banter between them. Between the drunken trashfires and loving embraces, these two were getting closer everyday. From a bar fuck to this. Nodding, the Brit was grateful that the Fin would choose the wear that he needed.

"I get to wear your clothes? Ooh kinky. Are there a pair of fur undies for me?"

He had to joke of course.

[suomi_thunder]

"You should show them to me. I want to see all these sneaky, hot pictures you're taking of my ass." Aarne giggles at the poking jab. He adored the Brit and leaned in to kiss his cheek.

"I usually don't wear any when I'm home." Aarne tells him while ducking into the shop. "What are you going to get?"

[helland_damnation]

"Maybe I'll tease you with them."

Joe smiled cheekily at the kiss to his cheek as they walked into the shop. As for what he was going to get? A decent camera for one. The model had to have a decent exposure and zoom setting to get a good quality with his pictures. Looking around, the Brit picked up a camera, showing it to Aarne. He pretended to take a shot of the Fin as he then picked up a load of film for it.

"How about I get this model? What do you think?"

[suomi_thunder]

"You're already teasing me with them, makea juttu."

Aarne just giggles and follows along. He's out of his element here but is happy to just be with Joe. He poses though and blows a kiss at Joe for the pretend shots.

All he can do is shrug at the camera. "I don't know anything about them. Rik does some video but I don't."

[helland_damnation]

"Makea juttu? What does that mean? It sounds naughty."

Joe smiled from behind the camera and then decided he'd get this model since it had all the features he wanted on it. Adding a few rolls of film, he then pressed a kiss to Aarne's cheek and looked around. Perhaps the Fin could help pick his winter clothing out now?

"Want to help pick some clothes out for me, babe? Do they have everything I need here? Boots and fur stuff."

He was still unfamiliar with the Nexus stores but wondered if Aarne hadn't already been shopping before him. If Hunter were here he'd probably spend all day shopping and going mad on clothes.

[suomi_thunder]

"Sweetheart." Aarne giggled because he had mentioned it before but then, Joe had been trashed. "Well really..." He leans in and whispers in the bassist's ear. "It means my sweet thing."

"There are all kinds of shops here." Aarne shrugs and then gets devious. "If you have a new camera maybe I should get a new outfit. There's a really nice store here."

[helland_damnation]

"I'm your sweet thing? Thanks, babe. You're my sexy Fin."

The bassist pinched Aarne's ass softly and then licked along the shell of his ear playfully as they walked in the shop. Who cared if anyone looked? Even if they were in this Nexus, Joe was going to act as if all the bands were here on tour. The craziness never stops.

"How about some sexy photos? Would you like some kinky undies, sweetie? I can picture your peachy ass in something tight."

Joe giggled and was already thinking trashy thoughts already.

[suomi_thunder]

"I'm your Persikkainen tyttö"

The pinch had him squeak out and giggle with surprise. He should have known the bassist would do that.

"Do you want to do more shopping after you buy your camera?" Aarne is hopeful. He loves shopping and the Nexus had so many stores with things he couldn't get back home.

[helland_damnation]

"I can't even say that, honey. Does it mean you're my long-haired girly legged man?"

Joe was just plucking out straws as he couldn't understand Finnish at all. Maybe he should start learning before the eventual trip to Aarne's homeland since it would help in the long run. The small squeak got the bassist smirking and licking his lips. Those sounds were music to his ears.

"Let's go shopping together. I can be the man who carries the bags while you try on cute, kinky things?"

The Brit fluttered his eyelashes playfully and then nuzzled into Aarne's hair.

[suomi_thunder]

"Peachy assed girl." Aarne giggled and bumped his hip into Joe's when he walks by.

"I've for the perfect place in mind." Aarne grinned and nuzzled back. "I saw something in the window I wanted."

Aarne gives him a push toward the counter. "Go buy your camera!"

[helland_damnation]

"Peachy assed girl? Ok, got it. That's fucking sexy as hell."

The Brit grinned and gently slapped the Fin's ass because it was too irresistible not to. If Aarne wanted to do girly shopping then Joe was fine with that. Not being a big clothes shopper himself he would just accompany the drummer and hold his bags if need be.

"Oh yeah? Ok. Give me a moment, love."

Paying for his camera, Joe came back with it boxed up nicely and looking pleased with himself. He undid the box because he wanted to use it now of course! Leaving the packaging with the sales staff he carefully put his film in and then took a snap of Aarne.

"First sexy photo with my new camera."

[suomi_thunder]

"I've heard you say it." Aarne giggles at the slap on his backside. He follows Joe up to the counter and can't resist giving his ass a squeeze while he pays for the camera.


"Are you taking more pictures of my ass?" Aarne giggled and leaned over the camera to kiss Hoe's forehead before taking his hand to lead him down a little farther to the store he had in mind.

[helland_damnation]

The ass squeeze got a small gasp out of Joe when he eventually paid for his camera and then turned back to kiss Aarne on the lips right in front of the cashier. These two really had no shame. As for ass pictures? Oh yes. Joe was going to be filling his rolls of film full of his sexy Fin.

"Maybe. You'll have to wait and see once I get the film developed."

A quick stick out of his tongue and Joe was slapping the Fin's ass playfully. He wanted to see where they were going next since it made sense for it to be Aarne's turn now. Clothes shopping maybe?

"Are we going girl shopping?"

[suomi_thunder]

"You'll have to wait too." Aarne whispered with a laugh. "To have more pictures of my ass to look at."

As they stepped out of the store Aarne offered his hand to Joe so they could walk together. "We're going sexy shopping!"

Aarne was giggling as they walked. "You're going to want that camera."

[helland_damnation]

"Sexy shopping? Is this just another name for underwear shopping? Can I try stuff on with you inside a booth, babe?"

Joe may have an ulterior motive but he did want to buy stuff for his Fin. It seemed the right thing for a boyfriend to do for his girl. Holding his camera up he snapped a few shots of Aarne's profile, smiling to himself.

"Just testing. Wait until we get to the nude stage."

He was going to get wild with his camera and Aarne probably knew this.

[suomi_thunder]

"Sometimes, or kinky shopping or what would you want to see me in?" Aarne teases. "Are we getting you something sexy too?"

Aarne was used to the constant pictures but the attention made him light up. "We should go skinny dipping somewhere."

[helland_damnation]

"Kinky sounds hot. How about you try different undies on and then we decide together?"

He grabbed Aarne's crotch and gave a playful squeeze before taking another snap of his Fin. It was a good thing he'd stocked up on enough film because they were going to need it at this rate. As for him getting something? Fuck yes.

"What would you like to get me? Skinny dipping? Fuck yeah! I'm in for that."

When wasn't Joe up for fun times?
