Summary
After being stored for almost three decades, Nicky isn’t surprised the rajika tasted stronger, richer, but now he almost wishes he hadn’t had that last shot. He’s not worried about snoring, though. He knows Joe never cares. Joe, now busy pressing their groins together, a hand sneaking under Nicky's shirt, palming his stomach, reaching for his heart–
‘It’s my new boyfriend.’ The words sound absurd even now, maybe especially now, and for a moment, Nicky wonders if he misheard them entirely.
He might have. He should ask Joe for clarification now that it’s just the two of them, but Nicky– he doesn’t want Joe to stop. He needs Joe’s hands, and Joe’s tongue, and the half words being whispered against his ear. Most of all, he needs Joe’s fire, for Nicky’s body still remembers the crash and the feeling of freefall crowded by the moment he stopped breathing as the water swallowed them whole. He has showered since, yes, but Nicky still can feel ice inside his bones, and he needs to be warmed from within.
What happens after Joe and Nicky leave the table?
(Smut, smut is what happens, and also feelings)
