    Summary


    “...Hello?”


    Whizzer’s voice was low and raspy, like he hadn’t been awake but not quite asleep either. Like he had been up late. With somebody, or alone. Up late, breathless. Still, he sounded alert. Marvin already felt stupid.


    “Hi. It’s, uh, it’s Marvin.” Do you remember? The fag from the game.


    “Oh.” Whizzer said, and Marvin could hear the smile already blooming on the other end of the line. “I figured. You know, not many people call me this time of the night unless they’re horny or dying.” Marvin didn’t answer right away. He felt the scotch in his hand and the heat crawling up his neck. His whole body reacted. “Which one are you?”

    Well, the situation’s this: it’s 1978 and Marvin takes Jason out to a baseball game. He’s incredibly bored until one Whizzer Brown happens to sit next to him. It’s a terrible place for this and even worse timing, but Marvin always has a hard time saying no to himself.

    Summary

    Whizzer Brown wasn’t looking for salvation. He was looking for a drink, maybe a distraction, maybe someone to touch who wouldn’t ask questions afterward.

    Instead, he found a florist.

    Marvin—beautiful, irritable, all quiet defiance and earth-stained hands—looks like the kind of man you ruin yourself on once and forget in the morning. That’s all Whizzer plans to do. Sleep with him. Move on.

    But the night he stumbles into that flower shop—half-drunk, half-lost—the air smells like lilacs and rain, and something in Whizzer stops. He keeps coming back for the flowers, for the quiet, for the way Marvin never asks who he is.

    It’s only supposed to be physical.
    It never is.

    he could picture it now; marvin in bed with whizzer, kissing the wound to acknowledge but never talk about it. marvin pressing on the scab to see if whizzer would budge, flinch, fumble. marvin kissing the wound over and over to silently make amends only for it bleed once again under his lips.

     

    ...

    Summary

    But he did wonder if anyone else was watching the way that Whizzer’s fingers grasped the ball, the way he’d absentmindedly lick his thumb before he’d knock down three batters in a row, or the way he took a moment to run his hands through his hair after he incidentally walked a batter. The dirt seemed to roll right off of him.

    OR

    Marvin and Whizzer are on rival professional baseball teams. A strained relationship. Heteronormative pressure. The slow burn of the century. Mediocre sex and good sex. If they get too intertwined - will they ruin it all?

    * This is a rewrite of a story I wrote eight (8) years ago called "Playing Easy." There were a lot of things I feel could be expanded upon and clarified. Also I wrote it eight years ago. *

    Summary

    “I am not fucking doing that.”

    Marvin was stood, arms crossed and jaw set hard in the way that it always was when Whizzer proposed something that he believed was ludicrous. Whizzer paused, his arms crossed over themselves and gripping the hem of his t-shirt. He had just begun to slip it over his head before he stopped, dropping his shirt to the wood beneath them and looking at Marvin with a pleading gaze.

    “What was the use of renting a house on the lake if you won’t even skinny dip with me, Marv!” Whizzer cried, pushing out his bottom lip, looking over his boyfriend, who just let out a lovingly exasperated sigh.

    --

    A much needed vacation for two lovers.

    Summary

    "Ah, Whizzer…" Marvin groaned, arching back into the taller man’s embrace, hands dropping from his face as they reached to grasp Whizzer’s biceps, squeezing taut in pleasure.

    Rubbing circles into Marvin’s stomach with a thumb, Whizzer gradually trailed his nimble fingers up towards the other’s heaving chest, brushing through the mess of short, hickory curls that littered Marvin’s chest.

    "It’s fine," Whizzer hummed, nonchalant, velvety words melting into Marvin’s neck, followed by a saccharine smooch to Marvin’s stubble-littered jaw, "You’re warm enough."

    ----

    Or, Marvin is more than willing to let a very cold Whizzer use him to warm himself up
