The Devil's Time

Chapter 1

John takes Gary's face in his hands. He stares intently into his eyes. "I love you" he says. Gary smiles. He brings the warlock closer and kisses him. John runs his hands around Gary's back and then his fingers through his black hair.
The boyfriends break.
"I love you, too" says Gary. There's a pause. It's the first time either of them them said it. They connect again- steamer. Their breath becomes more rapid, their grip stronger. Gary starts kissing and playfully biting John's neck and throat. John roles his head back to give the Time Agent more access. "Gary" he whispers.
Gary closes the distance between them.
"Gary" John breathes again. "Gary" , the name gets louder and more... effeminate?
"Gary?...Gary?"
Gary wakes up to see Director Sharpe standing over him, trying not to look at his bulge. He's laying back in his chair at the Bureau. "Gary?"
"Yes ma'am?" he asks, groggy.
"Go home. You've worked enough and you're clearly exhausted."
Gary rubs his eyes and straightens out his stiff back. " Yes ma'am". He stands up and opens up a portal to his apartment - trying not to think about the dream. He takes of his shoes, blazer, tie, and pants and crawls into bed.
😴😴😴
Gary wakes up to his alarm. Well, not really. He gets out of bed to his alarm but he never restfuly fell back asleep. He had an ache in his heart all night. 'It's never going to happen' he thinks. 'There's Mona?' he tries to bargain with himself. Mona was beautiful, cute, and smart. Plus she was super nerdy AND geeky. But she wasn't John. "Stop it", he says out loud. John made it clear it wasn't happening, that Gary was just a one-time thing that didn't even count. Gary toasts an english muffin and spreads peanut butter on it. He gets ready for work and opens up a portal. He smiles at agent Walter Terrie and greets Director Sharpe. She gives him an awkward smile. Gary turns away, trying to hide his red face with his coffee.
He goes down to Nora Darhk cell to see if Mona's there. He smiles at the quirky girl reading to Nora. A Jane Austen novel, of course. "Mona, I can read by myself" the imprisoned girl is saying. "Yes but I like seeing you", the other says. Darhk looks at Gary and Mona follows her gaze.
"Good morning" the beautiful girl greets Gary with a warm smile. He returns it and his slump instantly melts away. He swallows the lump in his throat, trying to calm the butterflies in his stomach. "Um", he mumbles. Mona looks up at Gary. He can feel his face redden and runs his damp hands on his pants.
Mona closes the book and stands up, worry on her face. "Is everything alright?"
Gary smiles. "Yeah, um..." He takes a breath. "Mona, I was wondering if you would like to go out with me tonight?" Silence. Uh-oh.
Mona looks at Darhk for a second then nods. "Sure. I was going to go see that screening in the park tonight. We could check that out and maybe go over to my place to... chill?"
Gary's a bit taken aback. He's completely alright with losing his virginity, but he didn't plan on having sex with Mona on the date he just pulled out of his butt. "Okay" he smiles. Mona returns it and grabs a pen. She walks up to him and pulls back his sleeve. After writing her number on his forearm, she gives him a peck on his cheek. Gary's face reddens and he smiles slightly. 'Constantine who?' he thinks.
