Rebuilding Bonds
Aug. 6th, 2014 09:51 pmIt's been a few months since Face's rescue, and everyone's still tensely looking over their shoulders. They've split up for the moment, hoping to better evade potential pursuers, but no one's exactly thrilled about it.
Face's memory is slowly returning, bits of it coming back like pieces of a patchwork quilt. There's still a lot missing, though,and it still hurts that it's gone. Which is why they're standing in a pawnshop on a dingy side street looking for a deal.
It's not what either of them want, really. They should get to have something special, something theirs. But they just...can't, right now, so they make do with what they've got. Just like always.

"Not exactly makin' me want to leave the bed."
Shower, what shower?
no subject
Date: 2014-08-08 11:15 pm (UTC)That nearly innocent gleam in his eyes means exactly what you think it means.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-08 11:27 pm (UTC)"Deal."
He forces himself to pull away, before he really does decide to not go anywhere.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-08 11:36 pm (UTC)"Much better..." he grins, stripping down to step in. It's easy to wrap his arms around Murdock's waist from behind, hands sliding through wet chest hair. "Have I told you how much I love it when I can impress you?"
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 12:34 am (UTC)He's not exactly complaining.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 12:49 am (UTC)"Mmm, what can I say? I like making you happy... and me happy... and other things happy."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 04:43 am (UTC)"You do a good job."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 04:49 am (UTC)His hands slide low and back, working over Murdock's hips with a low purr.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 05:01 am (UTC)It's nice to have some time to reconnect and strengthen their relationship without having to worry about running for their lives.
Much, anyway.
"It's a good life." He squirms a little, trying to get those hands where he really wants them.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 05:47 am (UTC)"The best life..." he whispers against his partner's ear; "...me and you, don't need anything else."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 06:05 am (UTC)It's nice to know somethings haven't gone away.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 06:16 am (UTC)"And..." he raises his soapy, wet fingers to show off the new ring; "...maybe we should make it officially the best life."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 06:27 am (UTC)"Yeah?"
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 06:32 am (UTC)"Would you, do me the honor?" He purrs, leaning in to brush his lips against Murdock's ear before whispering; "And marry me again?"
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 06:46 am (UTC)(It was totally intentional.)
His "Yes" is a little muffled as he presses against Face's chest, holding onto him with everything he's got.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 07:09 am (UTC)He smiles warmly, murmuring against his partner's ear; "Gonna have to say it louder than that, babe. I want the neighbors to know we're celebrating tonight."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 07:19 am (UTC)"Yes," he manages to say loud and clear, sniffling a little bit against his shoulder. "I'd marry you a hundred times if we could."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 07:25 am (UTC)"Hey, no tip?" A female voice calls back over the din of the shower.
"Twenty percent, put it on my card!"
He waits until the door slams closed again and then covers Murdock's lips with his, kissing him deeply with a hollow groan.
"I love you."

Date: 2014-08-09 07:46 am (UTC)"Did I hear you mention a Jacuzzi?"

Date: 2014-08-09 07:14 pm (UTC)He doesn't move quite yet though. Instead he leans forward to whisper in Face's ear.
"A couple years back, we had a case in Oregon and we camped out overnight waiting for the others. You remember that at all?"
It's kind of a weird thing to ask, but he's going somewhere with it.
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 10:11 pm (UTC)"Bet I wish I did," he answers, his fingers slowing their obvious course; "tell me?"
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 11:00 pm (UTC)"I told you I thought everyone had one perfect match in the world, and I found mine."
He wraps his arms tighter around him.
"I believe that even more now."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 11:26 pm (UTC)"That's... that's pretty deep."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 11:44 pm (UTC)"Pretty corny, I know.."
