Brakey 30 OTP Challenge

Day 17: Spooning

His feet practically flew over the black, crumbling ground. His Inferno Wand was slung over his back in an attempt to keep it out of the way, but it just slowed him down. He was almost at the cliff's edge, where his double and the one he loved were caught in clash. So far, his lover had the upper hand, but his double was cunning and quick. Soon, his love had his back to the cliff. One swift stab and kick later, he was tumbling thousands of feet to the rocks below.

Bryan woke up in a cold sweat, panting like he had just run a marathon. That dream again...

It was six months after the Seductive Rose incident. Ever since Mario had destroyed the Seductive Rose and gotten him back to normal, he had been attempting to live the life he had before everything had happened. But, his dreams had other plans for him.

"Bryan? Are you ok?"

Jakey's soft voice whispered from his own bed. Just the sound of it flooded Bryan with shame and guilt. His eyes were already wet with tears. 

In the dark, Jake stood up and sat on his boyfriend's bed. "Bryan, babe, what's the matter?"

"J-Just a nightmare, again..."

Jake embraced him gently. "Was it about that incident again?"

Bryan hugged him back fiercely and nodded into his chest.

"Bryan, we've been through this a million times, I don't blame you for anything. It was the Seductive Rose, not you."

"I still hurt you, I nearly killed you and Kayla...I don't know why you guys didn't kill me the second Mario and I landed at the docks."

"Bryan..."

Jake climbed under the covers and snuggled Bryan closer to him. In fact, he did it with the utmost intimacy and gentleness, ever so slowly looping his arms around his waist and pulling him closer, feeling him all the while. Normally, that was Bryan's department.  

"Feel better yet?" He whispered seductively. Normally, that would've triggered Bryan's PTSD, but this time, he didn't mind.

"When d-did you learn to be so alluring?" Bryan asked shyly.

"From you."

Bryan smiled and submitted to Jake's teasing.

What exactly did they do? Well, that is a story best left to those brave enough to endure enough steam for a sauna. 

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, no actual spooning, but I'm trying to make this kid-friendly! I already got one of my chapters redacted, so cut me some slack, ok! Love ya guys! Molly out!)
