*scene--the apartment that Horatio and Rey now share, on a lovely summer day; Horatio has opened a window to catch the sunlight, and he's sitting in the patch of sun, curled up on his beanbag chair. when Rey passes, he'll look up, with a smile* Can I ask you something?

*holds him the tighter for it, sitting with his chest pressed against Rey's back and his chin on Rey's shoulder* You're wonderful to me. I promise, you are.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*soft, soft* I love you.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*nuzzles lightly* And I love you ... I wish today had been a better day.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

It could have been. I ... *turns to kiss the corner of his mouth* I'm sorry ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*kisses his chin, though* Don't be sorry. *littlesmile* You made lemonade, didn't you? And we can watch a movie, if you want--!

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*sheepish, nuzzling* I'll do anything you want.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*pulling him close enough for a proper kiss, then* We can watch something funny, then. I'd like that. ^__^

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*laughs and kisses him back* All right -- then we will.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*smiling, in the moment before he lets Rey go* Do you ever ... want me?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*blushing* I ... I don't want to push you.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*pulling his hair aside to kiss his neck* I didn't ask that ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*half-gasps, neck arching for him* I know you didn't. But I don't want you to think I ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

I would never, I wouldn't ... *promising in whispers against skin, and following them with his tongue*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*shivers and curls an arm around his waist, fingers spreading across the base of spine, feeling-light through fabric* ... Horatio ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*can barely breathe* Yes ...?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*kisses him -- his forehead, his cheek, the soft inclining curve from jaw to neck, lips closing there* Horatio.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*shivering at the kisses--they feel less an inquiry and more a statement, themselves--* Yes ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*hand sliding up his spine to steady him, another along his side, his hip -- this kiss a little deeper, tilting Horatio back --*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*lets himself be tilted, and lets the kiss grow deeper until he can't even hear the soft oh, oh, oh of being touched everywhere (can't hear Rey's name called against the man's lips in supplication)--*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*a soft something like awe at the edge of his fingers, curling against cloth against skin, while he thinks of nothing but how beautiful Horatio is like this, beautiful to touch and to kiss and to hold*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*so very softly, between kisses and embraces* Do you want me ...?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*breathless* Yes ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*a low moan, and a long, breathless kiss* Do you want me right now?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*shuddering-glad, touch smoothing to catch Horatio around the waist* Yes. *and a kiss* Yes, please ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*simply can't resist that please, although he wants to; although he's terrified that this will break them even more--but it's so very good, and he's needed this for months on months, so he'll only let them fall entirely to the floor, trying frantically to undo Rey's shirt--*
