The Day After

[daniel_brown]

Going home after what had happened wasn't easy, it wasn't until after many pizza-flavored kisses and a text message threat from home that he reluctantly put his clothes back on and forced himself to say "Goodnight" - leaving his panties purposefully tucked into the sheets to be found later.

He slept deep and well, waking the next day to go about business as usual - aside from a stop for confidential STI testing - even though it was hard to keep his head out of the clouds. After settling into the team bus it was hard not to want to reach out to him.

He types out several messages - "I think I love you." "I want you so bad." "Are you thinking about me?" - and erases them all, opting for a much more neutral message.

Clinging to him as much as he's holding him down, Danny's breathing comes in ragged moans as he pushes himself hard and fast.

"Ask for it." He groans, clasping Merlin's thin hip tight enough to leave fingertip bruises. "Beg me to come again."

It's quite possibly the single most erotic experience he could even fathom as reality - the feminine crush of softness and lace against his hard body as the older man is folded to his will, controlling him physically and emotionally.

[mysticism]

"Please!" Merlin gasps, not hesitating, not even thinking any more when there's nothing but white-hot lust burning through his higher functions. "Come inside me, fill me up, make me take it all - please, Daniel - "

It's an effort but he clenches his inner muscles, making his lover's cock an almost unbearably tight hot fit.

[daniel_brown]

His lips and tongue tease over the warm flesh of his lovers throat, his teeth grazing over his skin when he finds the hot throb of Merlin's racing pulse. There are no sensible words, just a stifled moan as Danny's hips jerk against him in short pulses.

Slowing, but not stopping, Danny thrusts against him through the mind blowing waves of lust - squeezing the arm around him even tighter.

"Come for me, bitch..." He moans against his ear, nipping his prominent earlobe.

[mysticism]

Merlin really does feel lightheaded then, acutely and brilliantly aware of Daniel's larger size, his superior strength. He reaches down and before he's even got his hand wrapped around his wet, swollen cock he's coming harder than he thinks he ever has in his life; his legs tremble violently and white spots dance behind his eyelids when he shuts his eyes.

For a brief but intense moment he thinks he might pass out, but it doesn't happen, and he just lets the shocks of pleasure chase each other through his body. He feels filthy and wrung out and incredible.

[daniel_brown]

Slowing his strokes as he feels Merlin shudder and go weak under him, Danny leaves himself fully rooted inside his lover as he pushes him down against the bed gently - guiding the smaller man with his whole body until he's nestled securely under his weight.

"That was amazing..." He breathes hard against Merlin's ear, stopping to brush kisses against the raised mark on his throat.

"I... adore you."

[mysticism]

Merlin can't even speak for a moment, just enjoying the warmth of Daniel's body blanketing him - grounding him. Which is for the best when it feels like he might start floating in the afterglow at any moment.

"...me too."

He can blame the endorphins later. Maybe. For now he's just groping around for Daniel's hand. Something to latch onto.

"That was..." He laughs breathlessly. "Intense."

[daniel_brown]

Relaxing the hand at Merlin's hip, Danny reaches to cup his hand over his lover's and folds their fingers together. He's not quite ready to move just yet, he's too busy drinking in the closeness.

Almost hiding a giggle against Merlin's shoulder, he asks; "That mean I did okay?" He really enjoyed it, at least.

[mysticism]

"Can I refer you to the wet patch I'm lying in?" He smiles back at him, nuzzling the side of his head against Daniel's. "You did perfect. Nobody's ever actually called me a - uh - " He blushes, incredibly. "Didn't know it'd turn me on."

[daniel_brown]

This time, the giggle does come - warm and just a little weary as Danny withdraws his sticky, dwindling length and rolls onto his side to hold him a little more comfortably.

"I think I heard it in a porno once..." He laughs, blushing a little. "I kind of liked it." Which is a bit of an understatement, but he won't admit as much.

"Can I kiss you?"

[mysticism]

Merlin smiles, tired and replete. Shifting onto his side to face the younger man causes a brief twinge of discomfort, but it passes quickly.

"What sort of a question is that? I think you've earned blanket permission by now."

[daniel_brown]

Danny can't help but grin a little shyly before leaning closer for a slow, gentle kiss. He knows it's strange, but with what they've done - what they're doing - it feels like a soft secret.

"Mmm..." He murmurs against Merlin's lips, pressing a harder peck before finishing; "mine?"

[mysticism]

It ought to feel juvenile, like he's being asked to go steady, but it...doesn't. It just doesn't. And Merlin can't bring himself to think about how what's been happening since their meeting in the Science Dept office is more than he ever meant to offer him.

They'll have to be careful, that's all.

"Yours."

[daniel_brown]

He's ridiculously content with that simple acceptance, warmth passing through him as he kisses Merlin again and again.

That's what he thinks it's supposed to be; crazy, impetuous, unexpected and sweet.

He feels like he's pushing his luck, that he's already asking for too much when he says; "Can I stay tonight?"

[mysticism]

"No, I just thought I'd just use you for your body and then kick you out onto the street," Merlin deadpans, but he's smiling, and the arm wrapping around Daniel's waist says the opposite. "I suppose you're sleeping over with your imaginary girlfriend tonight and you've got a friend covering for you?"

[daniel_brown]

Rolling his eyes, Danny folds against him - looking for more teenager than he usually does. "Fake girlfriend," he sighs; "parents don't care where I am tonight as long as I make sure I eat well, practice safe heterosexual sex and have the car back by noon."

He sighs audibly; "I'm planning on breaking all three of those conditions to the best of my ability to tell my parents to fuck off."

Perhaps it's teenage rebellion, but more and more it feels like he's just ready to be gone. They don't understand him, they never have, and he's finally man enough to stand up to that.

[mysticism]

Merlin's at a bit of a loss as to what to say to that. Living half his life among teenagers has taught him how extraordinarily peaceful his relationship with his mother was. (And still is.) He kisses Daniel's mouth softly.

"Let me help you out of all this stuff so you can sleep, okay?"

[daniel_brown]

There isn't really much he can say - things are what they are - but Merlin's request is more than enough to make him forget about that drama.

Danny rolls onto his back, fingers drawn to the soft length of his cock - wiping away the fluids. "Can't promise I won't make an ass of myself."

[mysticism]

"I don't think anyone can promise much of anything when they're sleeping," Merlin says gently. He sits up at Daniel's side so he can, with great care, reach down and unclip his stockings. "I'm just glad I can see a little bit more of you tomorrow before you've got to go." His eyes lift to Danny's briefly. "I mean - if that's what you had in mind."

[daniel_brown]

"Mmm..." Danny grins, enjoying the sensual luxury of being stripped.

"I was kind of hoping we'd see a lot more of each other.

I'm the morning, but also in general.

[mysticism]

"Think you'd struggle to see more of me than you have tonight," Merlin says lightly, sliding off his second stocking. "But - yeah. We will. Sit up so I can get this off you?"

[daniel_brown]

The draw of the stockings is admittedly exciting, and having Merlin close to him as he sits up to allow access to the tight basque doesn't make it any easier to pretend he couldn't keep going all night.

Kissing him before he can open it, Danny asks; "Are you hungry?"

[mysticism]

"I could eat," Merlin says, his gaze flickering down Daniel's body before he reaches to unhook the fastenings running down his back. He almost regrets stripping Daniel out of these feminine trappings, but quite honestly, he likes the man underneath just as much. "You didn't have dinner before you went out?"

[daniel_brown]

Oh, he could eat all right... but Danny silences his brain from making comment beyond a thin smirk as he leans back against him.

"That was like... six hours ago." He raises his well-groomed eyebrows, "And I've worked up a bit of an appetite."

[mysticism]

Merlin catches the smirk and digs him in the ribs gently.

"Everyone's a comedian. Alright, I need to go and wash up and then I'll see if I've got anything in the fridge that isn't developing its own intelligence."

He does actually keep his groceries fairly well-stocked, but he can be forgetful and he's only just emerging from the subsisting-on-ramen habits he developed at university.

[daniel_brown]

He'd offer to look himself, but things are still new and he doesn't want to push it too hard. Instead, he presses a kiss against Merlin's lips and offers him a warm smile.

"I'll rest up for round two." He giggles, kissing him again.
