The Day After - For WearingtheStars

[helpdesk_hero]

He knows it the second he wakes up. Because there's this void in his head. Can't explain it, can only say it's wrong. As deeply wrong as anything has ever been in his life. Of course the only reason he even woke up was because of all of the shouting. The fear and the pain. And David swallows hard because he's reaching and there's nothing.

Which is what gets him grabbing at his jeans and a t-shirt, throwing himself out of the room, barely even acknowledging Josh as the gold-skinned idiot wakes up. No, his concern is the room across the hall. Is pushing past people so he can pound on it. Billy.

"Billy!" he shouts through the door. He should have fought harder when Emma found out they were dating. He shouldn't have let people change their rooms. He should be in there, knowing if Billy is feeling this same emptiness too.

An emptiness that can't just be David, because he thinks he just saw a girl that used to have purple skin and horns walk by. Without either of those.

"Billy, open up! Dammit, Jay, if you're in there, open the door, I need to see Billy."

[wearingthestars]

Oh sure, now that I mention tying me up-- [Billy tries to tease, but his gaze softens and he nods easily.]

Josh isn't going to like that.

[helpdesk_hero]

Josh can bite me.

[Someone has to observe Billy. For his own sake.]

[wearingthestars]

[Laughing softly, Billy steals a kiss.]

I'll stay.

[Besides, he wants to keep an eye on David as much as he wants to keep an eye on him.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Good.

[The stolen kiss definitely earns a returned one from David. Just wants to kiss him and kiss him and ignore the way the world hurts.]

[wearingthestars]

[It's the best distraction Billy's got for him right now, and he presses closer to try and shield him from that hurt for just a little while, deepening the kiss.]

[helpdesk_hero]

[Okay, this is a thing that they're doing now. David welcomes the distraction actually, and he pulls Billy firmly against him, fingers curling into his boyfriend's hair.]

[wearingthestars]

[All the worries of the day fade into the background, and soon there's nothing but David. Billy smiles against his lips, hands skimming up along his ribs with a needy hum.]

[helpdesk_hero]

[A good needy hum. David loves it. Those sorts of noises were what got them in trouble with Emma before. He smirks and lays back, pulling Billy with him.]

[wearingthestars]

[He gives a hushed laugh, wary of being too loud. He doesn't want them to get caught again. Which really would be better served by locking the door, or something sensible, but what teenage boy thinks sensibly once a make out session has started?]

I love you. [He mumbles the phrase against David's throat and smiles. Now that they've said he wants to say it all the time.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Love you too.

[David's fingers curl into his boyfriend's hair, happy to stroke that while Billy's attention is on his neck. Yeah, this is a good thing. He should be thinking about other stuff, but this is better. Much better.]

[wearingthestars]

[Billy kisses and bites gently at that exposed skin, mindful enough at least to try not to leave marks that might get them in trouble. It's been a while since they've really had the opportunity to be alone together like this, and he can feel a warmth settle over him, eager and shy as his fingers tease up under the hem of David's shirt.]

[helpdesk_hero]

[With their luck they won’t be alone together long, so savoring what they can is valuable. Which is why David has literally no trouble with a hand under his shirt. One of his own slides a bit more eagerly up the back of Billy’s shirt, and he definitely seems ready to drag his nails lightly over soft skin.]

[wearingthestars]

[Shivering lightly, Billy clearly likes that sensation, breath hot against David's skin, and his eyes skirt up briefly to meet David's with a grin.]

[helpdesk_hero]

This shirt really definitely seems to be in the wrong place. It should be on my floor.

[It would look prettier there.]

[wearingthestars]

Which one?

[Billy counters with a teasing smirk, but he's nodding in agreement, shifting so they can rectify that mistake.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Yours. Because, fuck, I'd really like my lips on your body.

[He's so into his boyfriend, and has been for a while. Dammit, why can't he just have this? But no, he doesn't want to push.]

[wearingthestars]

Fuck.

[Billy's flush spreads, and he tugs his shirt off, mussing up his all ready very unruly hair, dropping it to the floor. Hearing David speak like that sends a rush of warmth through him, and he wishes he could manage to speak so confidently in times like this.]

Better?

[helpdesk_hero]

Much better.

[His hands circle round to stroke over Billy's chest.]

You're so beautiful.

[wearingthestars]

[He breaths a soft disbelieving snort, a habit he hasn't quite been able to break despite how many times David's told him such things, and he turns his head to press a kiss to David's jaw to cover.]

I don't wanna stop.

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't either.

[Please, just let him do this, let them both enjoy this. The distraction is good.]

[wearingthestars]

So don't-

[Billy tries to sound as sure as he images David to be, turning and pushing to work David's shirt off, breath short. There's a looming threat, a ticking clock that pushes him to move, and he wills it to leave them be.]

[helpdesk_hero]

[Well then, he's not going to. David reaches up, curls an arm around his boyfriend, and rolls the guy. With Billy pinned below him he strips off his shirt and tosses it aside before leaning in to kiss his neck and chest.]

[wearingthestars]

[He laughs and looks up at David with that contented eager expression he's sure has become very familiar to him, sighing softly and letting his eyes fall closed. He finds David with blind hands, tracing over the muscles of his back.]

[helpdesk_hero]

We still green?

[He is a bit busy kissing down Billy's stomach.]

[wearingthestars]

U-uh huh. Super green.

[Billy's breath catches a bit, and he flushes, trying to keep his hips from arching to wantonly, eyes blinking open again to follow after David.]
