[For Liebgott]

[thewordofweb]

The obituary had been burning a hole in my pocket for weeks now. The couple of them. I'd been keeping them from Joe, tucked away in secret places he would never look, thinking I would tell him everything over dinner one night, some throwaway mention as I brushed my thumb against his palm, a soft '...so about our future, I may not be in it?' That's not going to happen. First came that fucking uniform and then Joe got his brain near-stolen.

So I've left it. I left it amidst the piles of his homework and I went to find Blair to try and find some absolution over my being such a coward. Now, I have to go back. It's been hours and if he hasn't found it, then I'm in trouble from being gone during dinner. If he has found it, well, I don't know what to expect, but I don't think it's going to be good.

I lean my head on the door for what feels like eternity. It's only five minutes. I count quietly, one-one-thousand...

This is going to take as much bravery as any jump and I push the door open and close it behind myself, just standing there and waiting to see what's going to happen.

"Thought I was supposed to shut up," I say simply and quietly, in the midst of a sharp gasp that comes from him pushing into me. It's trailed by a soft moan and I grip onto his forearms, nails digging half-moons in fair skin.

I close my eyes and swallow another sound that might suspiciously come out like a squeak. "Just where it was shallow enough. F'course, in m'dream," I gasp, words slurring. "We were floating without effort."

He groans at the press of Web's nails into his skin, dropping his head, looking for a kiss, all words forgotten. He pushes into Web, thrusts hard and quick, keeping the rhythm, fucking him into the mattress just liked he'd asked for.

My chin lifts up and meets his lips halfway for a long kiss, exhausted and needy at once and I sigh against his mouth while my body reacts faster than this slow intimate pace of kissing, hips snapping up with every thrust. God, I need you, I think, and don't even realize that I say it.
