The Laertes/Guildenstern AU ... why do we bother calling it that any longer? ^_~

*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?

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--*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*has already been broken a dozen times over, and he did ruin Horatio's date -- there is something of the desperate need to do something for him, and perhaps that's the wrong reason but it's not the only one -- there's the sunlight still warm of them, and the feel of a heartbeat beneath shirt and skin, and the fact that that this man is so beautiful and so good and Reynaldo wants nothing more than to have him close and to draw him closer, to kiss him breathless and senseless and glad*

(thank you -- ! i'm glad you like them (because i only try to impress you) and when i saw it i had to use that one ... something about the way the model was drawing back his hair ...)

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*it's entirely the wrong reason, but something about this is so unbelievably sweet that it's all right--and Horatio will just snuggle sweetly until the kisses are slow and languid as well as glad; until they have room to think on what they're doing as well as do it* How can I make you happy, Rey ...?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*a smile and a kiss beneath his chin, a hand braced against and smoothing over his chest -- thoughtful, gentle* I am happy ....

(exactly. it reminds me of when he and laertes were painting. (it's a fantastic sham, you know, but at least i'm doing it right. ^_^))
