Title from



Don sinks down almost pliantly under Charlie, gently holding his waist, opening to his aggressive kiss. Charlie scrabbles and nips, struggling to get closer, needing to feel Don's chest rise and fall, his heartbeat's steady pounding. Sweeping his hand over Don's shirt, Charlie finds a ridge beneath his fingers, just under Don's ribs. The new scar.

Charlie jerks back, ripping his mouth away, and hauls Don's shirt up. He has to see it, a pink weal as long as his pinky finger. He has to run his fingers over it, minutely cooler than the warm skin around it. He presses his mouth to it, mapping it with his tongue, the remnant of the wound that let Don's blood out, that nearly let his life out.

When Charlie bites Don hisses, muttering, "easy, easy," but Charlie can't go easy. Don could have been dead and cold, not solid beneath him, could have been gone forever, not smiling now with a bruised mouth and understanding eyes. Charlie kisses Don too hard, unable to keep from biting Don's lip to feel its tender give, and whispers, "Don, please, let's go to bed, let me fuck you."

Don just smiles, murmuring, "sure, yeah," and kisses Charlie softly.

Awww!

Thank you for reminding me WHY I liked this show in the beginning. Cuz TPTB are doing a splendid job of making me forget...LOL.

*blush* Thank you for telling me so, and you're very welcome.

*waves back*

I'm so happy you're posting these!

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*beams at you* So am I. :D

I love this!

I can definitely see Charlie being dominant and aggressive after Don's been hurt, needing to reassert some control.

Don could have been dead and cold, not solid beneath him, could have been gone forever, not smiling now with a bruised mouth and understanding eyes.

I like that line!

Don just smiles, murmuring, "sure, yeah," and kisses Charlie softly.

And love that response!

Eee, thank you. I'm really glad it made sense. Don's... Zen about it all really struck me. So did Charlie's channelled craziness about it. I just envisioned that desperation spiking like an aquifer, and it went from there.

Don's... Zen about it all really struck me.

Yeah, I really thought he'd be a much worse patient.

Hot and needy and loving and just perfect ♥

Charlie kisses Don too hard, unable to keep from biting Don's lip to feel its tender give, and whispers, "Don, please, let's go to bed, let me fuck you."

Okay, I felt that in that sort of "you get that good down-low tickle, right?" "Yeah, I guess, but... how low?" sort of BTVS way. ;-)

FWIW the last line? No one else would have done it that way. It's both unexpected and yet still oddly Don. I ♥ that you can still surprise me in fic. It's so rare.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Eee, yay! I *live* to evoke that tickle. :D

I'm glad I can remain surprising. I credit my eccentricity. ;)

*happy dances* Thank you, very much!

*gives you my star icon in honor of your username*

[bobthesungod.livejournal.com]

awwww, thank you for the star icon!!! :) I'm glad you like my username!

[emmademarais.livejournal.com]

BTW, you know I'm blaming you for my new drabble series because you wrote this, right? ;-)

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*curtseys delightedly* Go me!

[starlettmalfoy.livejournal.com]

The new scar.

Omg. ::seizures::

Now you've done it. Gone and given me a new kink. Holy crap. >.< Heh.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!

I acquired a kink for scars in the DC Comics fandom. They just tell such *stories*, you know?

[sockich.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the...atmosphere (?) in this. Charlie's urgency and need on one hand and Done being sort of mellow and letting Charlie do what he needs...yeah. Love it.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*beam* Thank you. I was strongly impressed by Don's calmness about the whole nearly dying thing, and Charlie's storm-in-a-bottle channeled reaction. Hence, of course, porn. :D
