Fics like Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day

“Do you know what the trouble is? That you are the Emperor. I have no way to deny you entry.” His thumb moves up and down on the shaved cheekbone. “You send my men away, you block my work, and at the same time you ask me for the most beautiful Rome in all the centuries.” Marcus kisses him, the first sip in days. The hand on his cheek now nestles behind the neck, a few fingers lost in the roots of hair. Soft lips against dusty lips. “It's so hard to obey your orders.” Another kiss, Agrippa's attention is on his upper lip. “I think I'm doing everything right and then you swoop in, no respect for other people's work and timing.” Gray in amber - the floor of the Pantheon is the set of those same colors. Octavian breathes again, his cheeks flushed from the accusations and from what Marcus is up to. He feels himself boiling over. “Rome...” Agrippa strips him of the top of the tunic, tickles his chest. “Rome, can't you see that's all you think about? Then you should let me build.” Curse the day he chose him as a aediles. “Rome was not built in a day.”
