Psh, Raleigh doesn't mind being obvious that much.

"Hold me to what?" Raleigh smirks at Chuck, shirt hanging open as he stuffs his hands into his own pockets, leading Chuck inside to the elevators and winking at the front desk girl on the way over.

If Raleigh was gonna change his mind, Chuck'd know it by now. They wouldn't be getting in the elevator and Raleigh wouldn't be swiping his card and punching the 17 button, and he sure wouldn't be pushing Chuck against the wall and wedging a knee between his thighs, mouth settling on Chuck's neck.

Comments

[driftsolo]

The noise that Raleigh makes is muffled against Chuck's mouth, but the emotional and physical response is there. His grip around Chuck tightens and his legs wrap around his hips, urging him to thrust harder.

"Love you," he manages, though he's working on catching Chuck's mouth with his again after.

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck cries out against Raleigh's mouth, a hoarse and rough sound that accompanies the harder thrusts Raleigh wanted so much.

"Love you," he hisses into his mouth, scratching at his skin. "Fuck, Raleigh, I missed you so fucking much, I don't know what to do to convince you--"

[driftsolo]

Raleigh makes another raw noise, wrapping completely around him, hands scrabbling down Chuck's back, blunt fingers dragging down his skin to cup his ass.

"I believe you. I believe you--"

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck presses against Raleigh, arms twining and tightening around him as he presses his face into the side of his neck and--

He shakes as he comes, clinging desperately to Raleigh and crying out against the crook of his neck.

[driftsolo]

It's way too much to handle. Chuck's thrusts, the friction of his dick pressed between their bodies, Chuck's muffled groans in his ear - Raleigh loses it shortly after, hand scrambling between them to frantically pump himself dry.

Jesus it's never been that emotionally intense before.

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck stays like that for a while, curled around Raleigh and planting slow kisses against his sweat-slicked neck.

He does pull away eventually, muttering about cramping and sticking together as he unwraps Raleigh's legs from around his waist and throws the condom out. He disappears into the bathroom for a few minutes and comes back with a warm wash cloth he uses to wipe their skin. He's sorta quiet, even after dropping the cloth and stretching out next to him on the bed.

[driftsolo]

He can't move, so it's good that Chuck does all the work. He's been fucked into temporary paralysis, though he manages to flop his head and glance over at Chuck once he comes back to lay with him on the bed.

"Hey."

[simplepuzzle]

"Hey," he says quietly, wrapping an arm around Raleigh's waist and slotting against his side.

He wants to say something, but doesn't want to ruin the glow.

[driftsolo]

Chuck's warm against his side and it feels good, a tangible presence that he's quietly enjoying. He slips an arm around Chuck and pulls him in, pressing a rough kiss to his head.

[simplepuzzle]

He smiles crookedly at the forehead kiss, but curls into the embrace.

"I was serious about finding a place," he mutters. "You'n me." And it's not like he thinks Raleigh wasn't, but did he think Chuck was only saying it as a sex thing?

[driftsolo]

"I know," he says, fingertips tracing a line down his spine. "I know you were."

[simplepuzzle]

"And I know I'm competitive, but--geeze, Raleigh." He grumbles and presses his forehead into his shoulder. "It feels like you think you're the only one invested in this."

[driftsolo]

"I'm sorry." He runs his fingers through Chuck's hair, smoothing the pieces that are sticking up back down.

"Thought I was at first. I was wrong."

[simplepuzzle]

"We've had this for a while," he grumbles, calming down a little as he's petted. "I'm not going anywhere."

[driftsolo]

Look it was a long time they didn't see each other a guy really needs to make sure that's all.

"I know. I'm sorry." He keeps petting, keeps kissing.

[simplepuzzle]

Yeah but there was like. Skyping and phone calls.

Chuck kisses back and wraps his arms around Raleigh's waist.

Maybe Raleigh's not the only one who's a little insecure.

[driftsolo]

Apparently he isn't. He'd thought this all meant way more to him than Chuck.

"Love you, okay? I mean it."

[simplepuzzle]

"I know you do," he grumbles, curling his hands against his back.

"That was never a question." And that's the problem. "Like, did you really think I was going to screw around?"

[driftsolo]

"No." He says quietly, sighing and finally just -- says what he thinks.

"I just thought it meant more to me. That's all."

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck pinches his thigh hard.

"Maybe at first, but it's almost been two years," he growls. "You think if I didn't wanna be with you I wouldn't have broken up with you sometime in the last year and a half we've been apart?"

Sorry, Becket, you belong to Chuck now.

[driftsolo]

Raleigh yelps and swats at his hand. Owwww.

"Yeah, I know. I know!"

[simplepuzzle]

"Okay." Chuck's still sort of cranky even as he burrows into his side.

"Good. I'm kind of stupid over you."

As is evidenced by him not going off to sulk in the bathroom.

[driftsolo]

He snorts, dragging him in and pinning his arms. No pinching.

"Been dumb over you."

[simplepuzzle]

"We're both stupid," he grumbles, letting Raleigh pin his arms and holding him close. "Still love you, though."

[driftsolo]

"We are."

Two dumb boys.

"Love you too, Chuck." Things will be fine. Right?
