    Summary

    “John…” he muttered, followed by a close-mouthed whine.
    John froze, as much as a non-physical presence in Arthur’s mind could freeze.
    Arthur… he let out a purring whisper. Is it… A nice dream again?
    Arthur sighed again, shifting slightly. With every other breath, quiet whines made it out of his throat. John slowly raised his hand to his face, passing his fingers along the textured skin. His features seemed smooth, relaxed – it really didn’t seem like Arthur was having a nightmare.
    “John…” Arthur mouthed against his hand, turning his face towards the touch, and something in John seized with a possessive heat he couldn’t quite conceptualize at that point. He dug his fingers into Arthur’s cheek, just enough to exert pressure but not enough to hurt, careful of the wooden pinky.

    ---

    Arthur keeps whispering John's name in his sleep and being cagey about it when he wakes. John finally confronts him about it.

    Summary

    “Yes,” he says, “I am-- I’m perfectly well, thank you. I apologize for being late, I merely…”

    He struggles for a moment for any sort of reasonable sounding excuse for his lateness that isn’t ‘I overslept’ or ‘I lost track of time’ or, even worse than that, the truth. That he is being refused his suppressants and he’s been fruitlessly scrambling all morning for any kind of solution that isn’t the inevitable, unavoidable, obvious answer of ‘just suck it up and suffer through a heat.’

    Elias blinks.

    Summary

    Martin feels so nervous that he’s almost dizzy with it. He desperately wants to turn tail and run, to call this whole thing off. Except for how he knows he’d be mad at himself for weeks afterwards for doing it, maybe even months. He’s spent so long working himself up to this; is he seriously not even going to try? 

    Even though it’ll probably go terribly? a pessimistic voice in the back of his head chimes in. 

    “This is going to go great,” Martin mutters underneath his breath. “Just grand. Nothing’ll go wrong, you’ll see.” 

    He feels a flash of self consciousness, but none of the other passengers give him so much as a glance for muttering to himself, all of them either hiding away in headphones and earbuds or just dead eyed glazed over expressions as they stare blankly into the middle distance. None of them even suspect that he’s on his way to a kink club.

    Martin and Jon have a very different first meeting.

    Summary

    He’s here, something deep and instinctual whispers in him, and he perks up from where he’s been leaning against the alley wall, his eyes searching the crowd passing him by on the streets. His eyes catch on Jon before Jon spots him in turn. All dressed up nice for their date, his head turned as he looks for Martin in the completely wrong direction. Seeing Jon when he doesn’t think he’s being seen somehow feels like a stolen treasure, something precious that he shouldn’t have.

    Uneasily, he thinks about how he’d sensed Jon so quickly, before he was even within his line of vision. Like he’d smelled him, heard his heartbeat-- or just sensed him somehow, standing out from the packed nightlife of downtown London. He doesn’t like it. It feels… predatory. Like he’s stalking him.

    But that’s what he gets for making his boyfriend his thrall as well, he supposes.
