CT105

“Hey.”

Aleks looked towards the office kitchen doorway, gently setting down the lid of the candy jar he’d been peering into. “Hey.”

James eased his way into the small room, casually leaning against a cabinet next to Aleks as his boyfriend turned back to rummaging for skittles. “Thought you were heading home?”

Aleks scoffed. “Yeah, and have you and Dex on my ass later for making someone else go out of their way to drive you back to the house? Don’t think so. I’ll just wait out for the next few minutes or so til you guys are done. Why’re you here? I’m tired of talking, but you never shut up, so…”

“Come on now! I don’t talk that much!” James nudged Aleks’s shoulder playfully with his own. “And I wanted to talk to you, actually. You know, in case you did fucking leave us to catch a ride with Dan.”

“Yeah?” Aleks finally pulled his still empty hand out of the candy jar, turning to face James. “What about?”

James licked his lips and made as if to push off of the cabinet, but his hand stayed pressed flat against the wood, his other hand mirroring it on the opposite side of Aleks’s head. Aleks held eye contact during the few seconds, and only realized when a prickle from his hair told him how close his head was to the cabinet behind him that James had trapped him.

“It’s about Dex.” James’s mouth was close to his ear, hot breath grazing over his neck.

Surprised and confused, Aleks furrowed his eyebrows. “What about Dex?”

James chuckled, his low voice sounding, almost…darker than usual. More feral. “D’you think I didn’t see the way you were looking at him?”

 Aleks could feel the heat radiating off of James, feel the brush of their shirts together every time his chest raised with a breath. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I wasn’t looking at him like anything.”

James’s lips were ghosting over his ear now. “You know exactly what I mean. There were a few seconds you looked like you were going to jump over that table and just tear into him.  Hell, he’s attractive, I’ll admit it. But he’s not going to get you. Know why?”

The words washed over Aleks like a cool breeze, most of his focus diverted to how James had shifted his leg, just so, and it was resting against the inside of his thigh now, and it was almost burning a hole in his jeans. He could vaguely remember those few seconds James mentioned, where Dex’s hair was all spiked and his open shirt revealed a curl of chest hair and his lips were wet and parted, but the picture was disappearing quickly in a James-scented fog filling his mind. The daze was broken, however, with sudden, intense clarity as James spoke again.

“Because you’re mine.” 

The leg shifted again and the shirts brushed together and Aleks’s head was pressed against the cabinet, nowhere to escape from the scalding breath on his ear. It took all of his will to focus his eyes and turn his head to meet James’s gaze.

“Okay. I’m yours.” His knees felt weak, but somehow the sarcasm in his voice still rang strongly. It was so, so tempting to just fall at James’s feet, but the stubborn arse in him kept him upright and fighting for control over himself, to not give in.

James chuckled again, the leg shifting so the point of contact was ever higher on his thigh. “Aleksandr…”

And then, finally, finally, he kissed Aleks, hard and wild and possessive, and Aleks would’ve fallen down if James’s hadn’t grabbed his waist, and the other hand was in his hair , and Aleks’s hands were on James’s face, pulling him closer and closer, and the shirts were pressed up against each other instead of just brushing and the leg kept rubbing against a certain spot that sent electricity racing through Aleks’s body with each touch.

It was a split second. It was an eternity. Either way, Aleks was able to stand again when James pulled away, but his face was flushed and his hair was mussed and he was breathing in short little pants.

James was breathless, too. “Does that measure up to Dex well enough?”

“Who?” Aleks’s voice was faint and needy. James would never tell him just how enticing that tone was, how it made him want to throw Aleks into bed every time he spoke that way.

Instead, he shook his head and laughed. “Good. I’ll catch you for a ride home when we’re done.”

“James?”

He turned back towards Aleks with a small smile. “Yeah?”

“In the house—sound from the main bedrooms shouldn’t reach the guest room, right?”

James’s mouth twitched, aching to spread into a full fledged grin. “Yeah. For recording purposes, right?”

Aleks licked his lips. “Yeah, for recording purposes.”

AN: So this is set during the little portion of CT105 where both James and Aleks leave the room. I figured I owed you guys something since I haven't updated in so long :P If you haven't yet seen my update video, it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYen_M9oknk

And yeah I'm also a little bit totally in love with Dex so expect him on here I guess.

Thanks again for reading!
