    Summary

    ‘Ah,’ Jon says. They look down, though there’s not much to confirm, then look at each other. There is something vulnerable in his eyes as he asks ‘What now?’

    Summary

    It’s Daisy who invites her to drinks, a few weeks into Basira's new job as she’s starting to adjust. There’s a couple others in the dingy, decidedly non-exclusive pub when Basira arrives, but it’s Daisy who shifts in the booth to let her in, who splits rounds with her, who listens even if it’s in brooding silence. Basira appreciates that in a colleague. And, well. It's really attractive.

    Summary

    Jon growls through his teeth. “You deserved better than that. You still do.”
    “And I have it,” Martin reminds him. “It’s not as if I can undo losing my virginity, Jon, much as I would love to be able to give it to you instead.”

    Summary

    The first time Jon feels Martin’s erection pressing against him while they're kissing, Jon thinks, oh, nice.

    That's a bit of a surprise. Normally his reaction would be more along the lines of oh, great, now I'm going to be expected to do things. But Martin so clearly doesn't expect Jon to do anything, aside from possibly bite his head off, judging by the way he jerks away from Jon like he just brushed against a hot stove, mumbling a hasty, "Oh, god, sorry."

    He looks...flustered. Some rarely-seen part of Jon’s mind rears its head and informs him that Jon would very much like to fluster him some more.

    Summary

    “Do you need something?”

    “Actually,” Tim checked a Dewey code and slid a book into a shelf a few rows down. “I don’t. But you do.”

    Jon stared blankly, uncomprehending. Tim chuckled and gestured with a cock of his head towards the research section. “Melanie said she has a friend who has a friend she wants to set up on a date.”

    Jon frowned, setting his stack of books down and eyeing Tim. “What, so I have to?”

    Tim shook his head, a patient smile on his face. “No, no one is forcing you. I just think—well. It’s been a while since your last relationship and you’ve been a little…testy, recently.” The look on Tim’s face dared Jon to contradict. “Melanie says he’s apparently a really good guy, very kind and sweet and patient. I think his name is Melvin? I kinda tuned out after she wrote down the number she got from her friend.”

    Summary

    After a while Martin started fidgeting with the sleeve of Jon's T-shirt, and his right leg which he had up, the knee making a tent of the blanket; that one started tipping left to right. Left to right.

    "Can you say it again?"
    Left. Right.
    "Mh?"
    "The nice words."
    Jon put the phone down and frowned, confused. "...Please?"
    "No the other -"
    Jon studied what he'd said earlier. "...Dear?"
    "Uh-huh", Martin said, his voice all smile and air.
    "Darling." Jon laughed at how it sounded out of his mouth, and how Martin's stomach tensed with an upcoming giggle.
    "Honey. Sweetheart", he began listing, as dryly as he could.

    Summary

    She kissed him, and he kissed her, gentle and then not-so, grasping and pressing and clinging, closing the space the Buried had forced between them.

     

     

    It had taken hours, inside the coffin, to get from pinkies clasped to fingers hooked together to fingers laced to palm to palm. Hours of scraping, dragging desperation, the earth around them so cold next to the warmth of another human body.

     

    It took moments to be skin-to-skin, now. Moments, damn the consequences, to be pressed mouth to mouth, chest to chest, thigh to thigh, stomach to stomach.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to go, Jon.” Another line of kisses that Jon watches with rapt attention. “In fact, Martin was just saying the most interesting things about you.”

    Martin’s face blazes with humiliation. He almost protests, this is Jon, oh my g-d, he’s never going to be able to look him in the face again, but… well. Tim has never led him astray before. (And if Tim is leading him to Jon, of course Martin will follow.)

    Summary

    “You want me to...wear lipstick for you?” Jon’s tone is soft. Martin risks a glance at him, and it’s just Jon as always, a little curious furrow between his eyebrows as he tries to figure out if this is some sex thing he hasn’t understood.

    “Yeah,” says Martin. “It’s just - you looked so lovely.”

    “Oh,” Jon says, and it’s his turn to look away. His voice is husky when he says: “Of course I will. Of course.”

    *

    For the prompt: Jon was wild at uni; Martin finds a photo of him wearing lipstick and CANNOT stop thinking about it.

    Summary

    “Something wrong? You’re doing that thing again where you worry your lip when you’re…. Worried. What’s up?”

    Jon was somewhat sheepish in his reply. “I uh… Appear to have forgotten my credit card. All I have is my oyster, and the trains will all have stopped by now… I’m sure there’s a bus coming soon enough though, I’ll be fine.” 

    “What? No, don’t be ridiculous, I’ll give you a ride.”

    Waking up is a sluggish thing, even with his phone alarm vibrating insistently on his nightstand a few feet away. Once Tim’s fully conscious, though, he’s still reluctant to move when he remembers exactly where he is and how he got there.

    There is a pleasure in seeing Elias when he dresses; the suits and shoes, and the trappings of humanity. The fine lines of his form that are not quite natural.

    Those at least, Elias can share with Jon.

    Summary

    "Jon did not fit here, Elias noted without sentiment. Everything in the flat was elegant, pristine, sharp; Jon was none of that – or rather he could have been, but the potential was buried under a fluttery mess of emotions and chaotic thoughts that overwhelmed him on a regular basis."

    A few months after hiring Jonathan Sims, Elias takes the liberty to invite him to his flat.
