    Summary

    Tim kissed him again, hard and hungry, and Jon let his eyes slip closed. This was all nicer, somehow, than he’d imagined it would be when he’d finally decided that he wanted to give sex a try and sallied out to the nearest queer friendly bar he’d been able to find with a quick google.

    *

    Jon decides it’s Sex Time, finds a Tim in a bar, and has a great night.

    Summary

    There’s no sound but them all breathing, shuffling softly until they’re comfortably pressed against each other; the thumping he can hear is his pulse, he realises. Mark’s suddenly so full of love he could burst with it. Helly, beautiful, exciting and a little terrifying, making him question everything and lifting him up to heights he never knew existed. Petey, beautiful too, guiding and protecting him; catching him when he falls.

     

     

    Canon divergence where Helly and Petey are at MDR at the same time. Mark and Helly are in love, but when Petey catches them, he reveals something that Mark realises he’s known all along.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “She’s never seen Mark fully naked before. She’s never seen herself naked either.”

    “He needs them to know what they mean to him, is all; how much he loves Petey’s hair, the way his eyes crinkle when he grins, the way he’s great at making coffee. Helly’s mouth, the way her hands move when she’s drawing. The way she sucks at making coffee.”

    “Petey watches their chests rise and fall, admires the delicate flush to their throats. They’re so beautiful. Innocent, he thinks. It’s a weird word, considering he’s just witnessed what they were doing to each other not five minutes before, but it’s the right one.”

    “Even as I gave to him, I learned from him what touches and places he liked best, and I drank in the knowledge as eagerly as the pleasure; indeed, they were one and the same.”

    "In case I wasn't clear," she said, forcing herself to be as bold as he had been, "that was me telling you that I think you're worth the risk."
