Ah, people. Failing since evolution began.

1. The word of the day is clusterfuckiest. Trufax.

2. I'm a big fan of the part where a summer camp that rented a pool in north PhillY for $1900 were told they weren't welcome, because they changed the complextion of the pool. Keep it classy, racist assholes!

3. If I think too hard about the confirmation hearings, I might stroke out, so...

4. YAY, Leverage premieres tonight!

5. And Matt Damon is going to be on Entourage! So, that means that Matt and Ari are going to be hanging out. And I didn't even have to write it! Yeah, I know, who's the man? All they need now is RDJ... you know since I write it and it happens. Excuse me, I have to go write myself winning ten million dollars. BRB.

6. Ryan Gosling is releasing his album in October. I WANT IT NOW.

6a. Anybody got the new Regina Spektor album (Far) that they wanna share with the class.

7. An Offer: Anybody who wants to come over here and give me a photo prompt that maybe might result in some drabble porn to make the masses happy is more than welcome.

If you just want to picspam the pretty to you know, help the general mood, that's awesome too. In fact, feel free to come and post photos and write your own porn too! But it's gotta be a photo. And SFW. It can be a party!

Mostly I'm just trying to make [livejournal.com profile] romanticalgirl smile, so help a sister do a good deed.

Part I (GS middle scene for L)

It's three o'clock in the morning.

The sky is awash with stars, the moon hanging bright in the night sky. Brad and Nate are lying on their backs in the Colberts backyard, Nate's head resting on Brad's stomach, Brad's fingers tangled in his hair. Brad's half-hard, but he's been that way since he got home, since he walked into his parents house 36 hours ago and Nate was sitting at the kitchen table with his mom drinking lemonade, chocolate icing smeared at the corners of his mouth.

The grass tickles Brad's skull, not much opportunity to lie in the grass at Pendleton.

The air is cool, crisp. During the day it's muggy, but when the sun goes down and the ocean currents wash away the haze, it's like this, a slight chill undercutting everything.

Brad's had two days of leave since Nate got home six weeks ago. If he's lucky he might get to see Nate one more time before Nate goes back to Hanover to start his junior year at the end of August.

"You tired?" Brad asks quietly. "I know you college boys like to be in bed by nine."

Nate laughs softly. Turning his face into Brad's hand, his nose brushing the inside of Brad's wrist. "College boys are in bed by nine-thirty; you must've missed the memo."

"Is that why you're using me like a pillow?" Brad asks, brushing the hair off Nate's face. It's a small thing, but this is the sort of sensory memory that keeps him going when Nate's 3000 miles away.

Nate pokes him in the side lightly. "Kind of hard to be a pillow."

Brad can't help the bark of laughter that escapes, and then Nate's there, astride his hips, hand over Brad's mouth. "If you wake your parents up, you can explain us lying in the backyard like a pair of homeless shoes."

Brad licks his palm and Nate rocks back against Brad's dick. Brad licks him again and Nate lifts his hand, leaning down to give Brad just a brief brush of his lips.

Brad growls in the back of his throat as Nate pulls back, his mouth curling upwards.

"My pillows don't tend to growl," Nate says thoughtfully.

"It's all your fault. Do you know how many of my pillows you ruined?"

Nate blinks, Brad shuts his mouth. Damn Nate and his ability to just get Brad to just say all the things he's thinking. Mostly when he doesn't want to.

Nate grinds down again and Brad has to hold him there, feel Nate's ass pressing against his thighs. "Tell me about the pillows," Nate coaxes, hands shoving Brad's shirt up his chest, thumbs circling Brad's nipples.

"No," Brad's breath catches as Nate twists his left nipple.

"What was that?" Brad turns his head to the side to get away from Nate's inquisitive eyes, his hips lifting up automatically as Nate leans in and tugs on Brad's earlobe with his teeth. "Tell me."

Brad's hands slide back to Nate's ass, squeeze, knead the muscles there. "Nothing to tell," he grits out as Nate nuzzles the skin behind his ear.

"Liar."

Brad's head snaps back to center, whacking the side of Nate's head. Nate makes a startled noise, which is muffled when Brad cups the back of his head and rolls them over, pinning Nate underneath him.

"What did you call me?" he asks, not bothering to hide the edge in his voice.

Part II (GS middle scene for L)

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Nate blinks up at him, face pale in the moonlight. "Tell me about the pillows."

Brad shakes his head. Sits back on his heels. "You want to know about the pillows?" he says, thumbing open the button on his shorts, pulling down the zipper.

Nate props himself up on his elbows. Watching. "Yeah."

Brad lifts his hips, shoves his shorts and briefs down just enough to free his cock. "It's about you," Brad says, wrapping his hand around his dick, giving himself a long hard stroke. "Always about you," he grits out.

Nate struggles underneath him, pushing at Brad's chest, forcing him to shift his weight back. So that Nate can sit up. "What about me?"

"Used to think about you when I was doing this," Brad says, hand moving over his cock too fast. Not enough slick. He's going to get friction burn. Good thing to return back to base with. The guys'll think he's chafed from all the fucking he's done. Which is not necessarily a lie.

"Used to – to do this when you were off with fucking Natalie." Brad gives her name all the righteous fury he thinks it requires.

He can't believe she's trapped Ray, but that's Ray's burden now.

"Used to," Nate says lightly. "I've been replaced already?"

"Not possible," Brad says. Nate makes a little noise, knuckles brushing over Brad's cheekbone before he cups the back of his head and pulls him into a breath-stealing kiss. Brad whines in the back of his throat when Nate's hand closes over his own, has to pull back to breathe because Nate's just taking him over.

"Wanted you," he confesses against Nate's mouth. "Even when I didn't know it."

Nate's grip tightens hard enough to make Brad's joints ache, and then he's coming all over their hands. White noise in his ears and his heart beating like Rudy's just taken them all on a 15 mile run as Nate strokes him through it.

Nate lets go of Brad's cock, lifts his hand up to eye level so Brad can watch him lick his fingers clean. "Did I do this in your dreams?" Nate asks.

Brad shakes his head, kissing Nate's cheekbone. "No, the pillows definitely didn't do that."

Nate laughs. "Glad to know you think I'm good for something."

Brad reaches down, squeezes Nate's cock through his shorts. "Maybe more than one thing," he concedes.

I think they make more of their time together because it's so rare and fleeting. To go from being together all the time to not having that support for all those years has got to be one hell of a shock to the system. To not just be able to pick up the phone or run down the street and be all "Guess what stupid thing I did today" or even to have the choice of the physical proximity.

The night before Brad leaves for Pendleton, there's a big dinner with the Colberts and the Ficks (all the sisters included) and then Brad takes Nate for this long ride on his bike along the coast.

There's an attempt at sex near the beach, but the bike's just not stable enough for all of that, and they've been fucking like rabbits since prom so it's not so much required as almost like, well, we should at least try.

Around three in the morning they go back to Nate's house, climb the ladder up to his room and just lay there, curled up together on Nate's bed for hours, kissing and touching and just being together.

Brad doesn't want a big scene when he leaves in the morning for training, and Nate wouldn't be able to give him the send off he wants anyway with all those people around anyway.

A little after 6 a.m. they get up, but Nate's feet won't work. So he just stands there in the middle of his room, and his brain completely shuts down as Brad's pulling on his shoes.

Brad stands up and Nate has no idea what's on his face, but he's pretty sure if he opens his mouth he's going to ask Brad to stay. And he's pretty sure if he asks, Brad will, so he's just not going to say anything, but then Brad's cupping his face and kissing him and promising he'll be okay.

Nate leads the way down the hall, down his stairs, just knowing Brad's there behind him. They get to the front door and Nate disables the security alarm, but it takes him two tries because his eyes a little blurry right now.

And then he turns around and Brad's watching. Nate's pretty sure his heart is being broken all over again, so he just grabs a handful of Brad's shirt, pulls him into the sort of hug that would require the Jaws of Life for extraction.

There's a kiss on the ear, the cheek and one long, last lingering one and then Nate swallows down the razors in his throat and opens his front door. "Go on," he says, voice brittle, this close to breaking. "Go save the world."

Brad blinks at him, eyes bright.

Another hug. Brad kisses the top of his head.

He says something that Nate didn't even know he wanted to hear before Brad left, and then Brad's gone.

If Nate watches him walk away he may never leave the house again. So he closes the door and sits down the floor.

He looks up when his mother's painted toenails appear by his knees. "Sweetheart?" her voice is soft, concerned.

He looks up at her voice, can't quite see her for whatever's wrong with his eyes. "He left," Nate says quietly. "He's gone."

Nate presses his face against his mother's pyjama clad knee and lets her pet him. Lets her try to make him feel like she did when he skinned his knee and thought the whole world was ending.

He's not sure that this time it'll work.

L started it. Okay, so this story started it, but you see why I try to stay away from the angst with them, because it's just so easy to just, you know, make them hurt more. And that's bad.

::hearts times a million::

I love Brad's anger and frustration - not at Nate, but Nate gets to feel a brush of it - at being so helpless when it comes to Nate. All his wanting and needing and not being able to be with him and so everything just builds up. And sometimes when Nate laughs and treats it like a joke (not that he thinks it's a joke, but he doesn't realize what's gotten to Brad right at the core or he doesn't want to see it, because his own need is too much to deal with most of the time) Brad has to turn Nate over, pin him down and remind Nate (and himself) that Nate is his just as much as he is Nate's.

Seriously, this is awesome and lovely and so visual.

YES. THIS. There's nothing wrong with posession issues, you just have to recognize them so that you don't have a moment, zip strip somebody to the bed and then come back an hour later and have to apologize, because, "I know, I don't know what came over me. Yes, I totally trust you to go to the store/out with your friends/off to war. I was just having a moment. I'm sorry, will a blow job make it better. No? Okay, how about two."

The mutual thing is really important for Brad too, because he wanted Nate for so long and it took Nate *so* long to see it that he sometimes doesn't quite believe it's real, especially when he's a zillion miles away and there's life between them and all those unexpected things it brings.

And then they're together again and it just *works*, and Brad sometimes has to remember to breathe.

I don't think it even sinks in in the first few weeks. Brad's at basic training, and Nate's starting college. And then it's like October and Nate wants to tell Brad about the people in his class or something he did today. He can't call or visit. Email doesn't even really launch for colleges like that until 1996-97. Same with hotmail and stuff like that b/c I was in school when it first came out. So, that's out. And Brad's in training, loving it, happy to really feel like he's *doing* something for a change, and he wants to tell Nate all of this... but he can't. Can't touch him, can't see him, can't hear his voice. And there's this horrible ache, so he pushes harder, faster, this is where his nickname gets even more credibility.

Nate comes home for Thanksgiving and Brad doesn't even know if he's going to get leave so he doesn't say anything. He just shows up on the Ficks doorstep, and they're all at dinner. Nate's mom opens the door and screams and the whole house comes running. Its' like utter chaos for five minutes, everybody hugging Brad, checking him over and Nate's just standing on the steps staring, because of the buzz cut and the tan and the muscles, and it's complete and utter overload. And then Mrs. Fick, is like, "Nate, are you going to say hi to Brad?" And Nate's brain just completely breaks. And he just feels so awkward. Part of him wants to jump on Brad and the part is like run and hide, emotional overload in five.... four... three.

And then it doesn't really matter, because Brad's on the stairs, and they're nose to nose and Brad kisses him in front of his entire family, and Nate's like "....!!!!!"

Well, yes, but that's understandable. Such things would throw anyone for a loop, much less Nate who wasn't expecting him.
