Jack laughed, leaning closer as well. His eyes flicked to Alexei's mouth, lingering there for a moment, then returned to the Frenchman's eyes. "Yes, it should." he agreed in a quiet, smiling voice.

Alexei’s expression softened into an affectionate smile as he caught Jack’s gaze lowering for that moment. He didn’t know what else to do, or what do say, so he leaned forward to rest of the way to press his lips against Jack’s once again.

(Ohh I’ve got a half-baked possible idea for angst: so what if when Jack and Alexei are supposed to meet up later, Alexei doesn’t show up (either because he’s scared of possible feelings or he finds something else to do, idk yet). And somehow Francis is in the general area doing something and sees Jack(?))

Jack met the kiss eagerly, wrapping his arms around Alexei's shoulders, and holding Alexei close. He parted his lips, tilting his head back to deepen the kiss.

(Ooh that might be interesting, yeah)

Alexei cupped either side of Jack’s head in his hands. He seemed more confident now leaning into and returning passionate kisses than he did before, at least a little bit. “I really like you,” he uttered when he briefly pulled away to take a breath.

(Sweet!)

Jack opened his eyes, looking at Alexei. He chuckled softly. "You barely know me, dahling." He replied with a faint smirk.

“I know,” he breathed out a chuckle, twirling a strand of Jack’s hair around his finger. “But I can like the way you look, how you kiss, your hair, the way you talk… the way you taste-“ he closed the distance between their mouths again.

"Mm." Jack parted his lips at the kiss, tongue darting out into Alexei's mouth, tasting the other man. He ran his hands up and down Alexei's back, pulling him closer and closer.

Alexei made a little noise, a mixture of surprise and delight. He buried his hand in Jack’s hair. Unsure what to do with his his free hand, he took a handful Jack’s shirt. His eyes flickered open for but a moment before shutting them tightly again.

Jack kept kissing Alexei, tongue exploring the other male's mouth, hands roaming over Alexei's back and tugging him ever closer.

Alexei leaned forward with each of Jack’s tugs, slowly melting into the kisses with ease. He didn’t have any plans on stopping anytime soon, at least until they had to either when the Opera stopped for intermission, or stopped all together.

Jack leaned back as Alexei came forward, until the young Englishman was laying on his back with Alexei above him, still kissing. He didn't want to let this stop again.

Alexei let go of Jack’s shirt to brace his hand on the ground, eventually lowering to his elbow. Being inexperienced, at least with men, he still seemed a little bit timid and restrained in his actions. He inhaled sharply through his nose.

Jack smiled a little into the kiss, one hand roaming up to run through Alexei's hair, tugging Alexei closer and closer and closer. He looped his legs around Alexei's waist.

Alexei hummed happily Into Jack’s mouth, his own hands trailing to Jack’s shoulders. They slowly rose up to hold the sides of his head, but they didn’t stay in one place for long. He couldn’t keep still, vitalized by a cocktail of thrill and anxiety. If they were to be forced to stop soon, he acted like he wanted to enjoy every second of this.

Jack kept running his hands over Alexei's back, unable to keep his hands still. His hand slipped under the back of Alexei's shirt, pressing to the other male's bare skin.

Alexei inhaled sharply at the contact. He hooked his fingers around the back Jack’s collar, just to hold something else, arching his back slightly. But as time drew on, he seemed to be getting tired and breathing heavier.

Jack kept his hand resting lightly against the small of Alexei's back, and he kept kissing the Frenchman. As he too grew tireder, the kisses grew lazier and softer, less frenzied.

Alexei exhaled a soft, barely audible, moan of contentment. He relaxed slightly more of top of Jack, moving his arms to loosely hug Jack’s shoulders instead of clinging into his shirt. His eyes flickered open briefly, then closed again as he returned the weary kisses.

Jack held onto Alexei gently, eyes closed as he kissed the Frenchman almost lazily, long, soft kisses that lasted.

Alexei returned the kisses until he couldn’t anymore. He lost track of time, eventually having to pull away and catch his breath. He looked tiredly back down at the Englishman.

Jack opened his eyes to look up at Alexei. A lazy, soft smile flashed onto his face, and he ran a hand through Alexei's hair.

Alexei closed his eyes and tilted his head towards Jack’s hand. He sighed contently, “I’m tired now,”He murmured in a hum. The music was nice as well.

Jack chuckled softly. "Mm. Me too." he replied with a faint smile. "Shall we just sleep?"

Alexei shifted his weight to one arm so he could take Jack’s hand and press a kiss to it. “Sounds like a plan to me.” He fell over with a breathy uff beside him.

Jack smiled again, and snuggled up to Alexei to leach off the other male's warmth. He closed his eyes, already beginning to drop off to sleep.

Alexei let out a long, happy sigh while his eyes closed. He was tired, but more of a content, and comfortable tired, where the only thing he really wanted to do was stay right here. His eyes flickered closed, and eventually he fell asleep to the music.

Jack fell asleep as well, snuggled up with Alexei. He let out a happy little sigh.

Alexei’s smile slowly faded the longer he was asleep, but his contentment was no less than earlier.

Francis shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The opera was impressive, there was no doubt about it, but after sitting in one chair the same way for hours, he began to grow weary. He glanced over to Jack’s sister curiously, wondering if she felt the same way.

Jack kept sleeping, curled up beside Alexei.

Elizabeth caught the look, and gave Francis a quick little smile. She tucked back a loose curl, letting out a slow breath.

Sorry I took so long to respond! Life has been crazy lol)

Francis returned the smile. Life he had the rest of the couple days, he admired her. She had all the same admirable qualities as her brother, just not as… unpredictable? He couldn’t think of the right word. When he felt he was staring too long, he forced his attention back to the stage once again.
