and they lived.... (closed; james)

Grimhilde Manor is in the middle of freaking nowhere.

Luckily, in the place of the carriage that brought James and Davin to the ball is now James' BMW. Davin doesn't give it much thought, and just helps James into the passenger seat. He's hurt pretty bad but not in any way that Davin can't fix. He cups his cheek, the one that isn't scraped up and raw, and leans in to press a trembling kiss to his forehead. "I'll get us outta here, okay? It's gonna be okay."

He shuts the door and goes over to the driver's seat. Davin's entire body aches, and his head is throbbing, but he'll be fine. It's all going to be fine. At least, he hopes it will.

The keys are sitting in the ignition and Davin starts up the car, spitting gravel as he flips it around and heads away from the manor. James has his head back against the seat, eyes closed, and Davin keeps glancing at him worriedly as he drives. He doesn't really know how James is going to react to what he just saw. It was a huge burst of magic, in which Davin killed something, but Davin's hand was forced. He didn't want to do it; he had to if he wanted to save them. His hands are still shaking, and his heart is pounding away in his chest. Maybe he'd go into shock, if he wasn't so wholly focused on getting them somewhere safe.

Davin's shop is on the way to James' house, so he pulls into the parking lot and looks over at James' quizzical expression. Davin swallows hard and unbuckles his seat belt, tossing the door open. "I just need t'grab somethin'. I'll be right back."

There's a small wooden box in a locked drawer in Davin's office that holds a few vials of his healing potion, just in case, and he rushes in to grab it. He runs back out to the car and sets it on the console before pointing the car towards James' house. Once they're at the cottage he puts the car in park, grabbing the box before going around to open James' door. He hooks James' good arm over his shoulders and helps him up, leading him up to the front door and unlocking it. Davin helps him over to the sofa and sits him down, taking a few steps back and biting his lip.

"I - " Davin swallows hard, eyes shining, and he has no idea what to say. He's just so fucking scared and upset, and he wraps his arms around himself as he looks helplessly at James.

Davin watches as James relaxes against the sofa and the sight makes him feel the tiniest bit better because James is okay, he's safe. At the question Davin blinks and swallows hard, nodding a bit. His back aches from where he was thrown against the ground, but it's nothing he can't handle. Really, he barely feels it, too distracted by everything else. "Yeah, I'm okay. Physically, I mean. I'm just a little freaked out."

He was so worried about James' reaction to such a display of Davin's magic, but so far he doesn't seem too horribly bothered by it. This is such a relief to Davin that he has to let out a cleansing sigh before coming over to sit next to James. There are three vials in the wooden box and when Davin opens it to lift one out, the potion glows a vivid purple as soon as he touches it, without him even having to say the spell. It must be because his magic is so strong right now, so close to the surface. He swallows hard and waits for the potion to fade back into its pale lilac and then opens it, holding it out to James with slightly trembling fingers.

"Here, can ya take this, please?" He lifts James' good hand to wrap his fingers around the vial. He's obviously afraid that James won't take it, and that he may prefer to be in pain rather than let Davin heal his wounds with magic. "I hate seein' ya hurt an' this'll fix it. It's the same stuff I took after the thing with the mummy, remember? It'll help."

Swallowing, James looks at Davin's fingers wrapped around his, at the vial he presses into his hands. He understands Davin's concerns over his injuries, but actually if he had a choice, he wouldn't be accepting the potion to heal himself. He would deal with it the old fashioned way. James just feels like he's had enough magic for a very long time after the spell sending them to fairytale land and the dragon that almost killed them, it feels like enough. For them both.

But he looks at the worry in Davin's face, and he knows that all Davin wants is for him to feel better. He knows, and he appreciates that. That's why he drinks the potion and hands Davin back the empty vial with a softer smile on his face. "Only because you said please," he jokes with a wince, at both the taste and the ache when he laughs even the slightest.

"I'd say that's the weirdest thing that's ever going to happen to me, but I'm not sure anymore," he says shaking his head and then looks at Davin. "It was like...I don't know. I've never really seen that before..."

Davin is actually a little surprised when James takes the potion without complain. It's a sure sign of how much he actually trusts Davin, and he lets a soft, relieved chuckle as the scrapes and cuts on James' cheek heal before his eyes. His eyes go a bit shiny and he reaches out to cup his cheek, thumbing at the newly healed skin. He knows his shoulder will follow suit and it already makes Davin feel so much better, knowing that James won't be in pain anymore, and he's not so afraid of Davin's magic that he would refuse to let him help.

"Thank you, babe." He leans over to give him a soft kiss and then pulls back to look at him, biting his lip and shrugging a bit. "Yeah, it was all new t'me too. I just... the amount o' power it would take t'wield a spell like that. It's insane. I feel a little messed up."

He looks down and blinks away the sting in his eyes, hands trembling a little. "It just doesn't seem real. I mean, a dragon. Jesus. I can't believe I did that."

The potion works its way through his system quickly. It's a strange sensation to feel his bruises and scrapes healing over at such a rapid pace, but by the time Davin is touching his face, many of the injuries are gone. With a soft sigh, he allows Davin to kiss him a couple times feeling comforted by gesture and the quiet.

"I'm glad you did though," he says honestly, as much as the display of power overwhelmed him, he is glad Davin was able to do something. If he hadn't who knows how much worse both of them could've been hurt.

He reaches out for Davin's arm. "And I'm so happy to be home again." He glances at the kitchen. "Do you want something to eat? Or should we sleep....maybe I should call the station and see what's going on," he says as he pulls out his cellphone, wondering if he should go in.

Davin smiles a little when James says that he's glad for what he did, because that eases the knot in his chest just a bit. He blinks at all the sudden questions and when James reaches for his phone, Davin swallows hard. He doesn't want James to leave, not now, but he won't try to stop him if that's what he wants to do.

"I'm just... a little freaked out. I still have both sets of memories all jumbled in my head. And I'm mad." He sighs and looks up at James with a small, wistful smile. "We were havin' such a nice moment before the whole... dragon thing. I wish we could go back t'that."

James does send Grant and Alex a group message asking if they are okay. Even though he had his memories during the past couple of weeks, he didn't know if they were alright or what happened to them. The spell seemed to affect everyone differently. He looks over at Davin when he says he's angry. "Let's just be grateful everything turned out okay," he says, giving him a gentle rub on the shoulders and back. "There's nothing that we can do tonight, I suppose."

Things could've been so much worse. Neither of them been seriously injured. He would like to get Nerium down to the station and ask her a few questions himself, but as he sits for a moment, he decides even he is too tired. "I'm sure it's strange now that you have your memories back," he says.

Davin slumps in relief when James sees to decide that he's staying. It would have been awful had he left, but Davin doesn't have to worry about that. He leans into James' touch and sighs, pulling his feet under himself and turning to face him, reaching out to rest a hand on his chest. "It is. I still remember everything from that other place, but it's, I dunno, sorta like a dream. I had t'have been worse for ya, bein' the only one who couldn't remember."

His hand slides up to cup James' cheek and he looks at him for a long moment, smiling a little and thumbing at his jaw. "I couldn't forget ya entirely, though. Ya kept makin' me remember little things. Ya brought me back."

That's really something to think about. Their feelings for each other are so strong that it poked holes in the very fabric of Nerium's spell. He thinks back on the kiss they shared when Davin's memories returned, and he feels a little robbed of where it could have led.

"It feels dumb t'say I missed ya when I didn't even have my memories, but I did," he says, sliding his hand up into James' hair and leaning in to press their foreheads together. "There was somethin' missin' the whole time, an' I kept not knowin' what it was. But it was this. It was us."

"That's not dumb," James says with a nod, sighing softly because this is all he's wanted. For them to be them again. "I know that I could remember everything, but even then, I just---it didn't feel like you. It's hard to explain. I'm just glad that it's all over." He reaches up to clutch Davin's cheek, pressing a kiss to his lips for a few seconds, happy that he is finally able to do that again. Because now this is really Davin he's holding instead of someone that in many ways was a stranger.

He isn't sure if he was the one to bring Davin back, but maybe he was. Maybe it proves how much they care about each other. All of this has made him realize that in many ways.

Davin relaxes against James when he's kissed, eyes sliding shut as he wraps an arm around his neck. They swap short, sweet kisses for awhile, and Davin is grinning when he finally pulls away. "I'm me now, an' I'm all yours."

He slides off of James' lap and stands up, taking his hand and tugging him to his feet to lead him towards the stairs. "We're goin' t'your room and lockin' the door. I could sleep for like a week an' we have lost time t'make up for."

Of course, Davin knows that in reality, they won't be able to just stay in bed. They'll have to eat, and James will have to go into work. Davin will have to check on the shop. They'll both get busy, and things will go back to normal. But for now, just for tonight, he just wants to be with James.

They get into James' room and Davin shuts the door before pressing himself against James again, looking up at him and placing his hand on the side of his neck. "I thought I was gonna lose ya there for a second. I'm just - I'm really glad you're okay. I'm kinda fond of ya, y'know."

At Davin's suggestion, James can only nod and smile despite his tiredness from the night's earlier events. They definitely have a couple of weeks to make up for being apart, and he doesn't mind when Davin practically drags him up the stairs behind him. He hardly has time to enter the room before Davin presses against him, and he lets his hands slide down to his hips, focussing on Davin's face with a soft smile.

"I happen to like you as well," he says with a laugh. He more than likes Davin. It's become rather obvious that his feelings for Davin are very intense and serious. "Well. I'm not gonna lie. I thought I was a goner for a second there too." But they both know Davin managed to protect them both from the dragon. Thank goodness.

"Like I would have let that happen," Davin says with a lightness that he doesn't quite feel. He was more terrified than he ever has been, and he can't imagine losing James. Davin never thought that he would feel this way about anyone and it's kind of intense, but it isn't scary. It's amazing.

"This suit may be a goner, though." Davin smiles and starts to take James' suit jacket off of him, and his expression grows more troubled. There's blood on the fabric and it's scuffed and torn from where he was thrown to the ground, and Davin's fingers tremble a little as he gets it off and tosses it aside. He works open the buttons on James' shirt while watching his face, and then gently pushes it off of his shoulders. Davin isn't aiming for anything in particular. He just wants them to be comfortable and preferably touching and that will just be easier without torn, blood-stained clothing.

"Couldn't undress Prince James like this," Davin teases, laughing and giving James another soft kiss as he unbuckles his belt and pulls it slowly out of the loops. All he wants to do is take care of James and make him happy, keep him safe. If he's ever in danger again, it'll be too soon.

Davin removes his own torn button down and then toes out of his shoes, bending over to get his socks off and flop onto James' big, plush bed in his slacks. He manages to roll over and prop himself up on his elbows, giving James a tired but happy smile. "Get over here, your majesty."

"That's because Prince James had really awful clothes," James jokes with a chuckle, kissing Davin back against the side of his face as he pulls away his belt and jacket. He is dirty and still covered in the dirt and gravel from the ground, and he is certain his face doesn't look to good either. But all he wants to do is let Davin undress him and tug him off to bed.

He kicks away his own shoes and socks, and then he follows Davin over to the bed and sits on the edge looking over beside him. "I should've known that name was going to stick," he says, as he lays down beside Davin with his head on the pillow.

"Obviously. I mean you have met me." Davin grins and unbuttons his own pants, kicking them off the side of the bed to leave him in his underwear. He gets up on his hands and knees and slowly removes James' slacks as well, tossing them off of the bed and leaning down to press a kiss to his chest before flopping down on top of him with a huge, playful grin. "Ah, this is the life. Just' me an' my Disney prince."

He lifts his head to rest his chin on James' chest, smiling fondly up at him and watching his face. James saw what Davin was really capable of with his magic tonight, and he didn't freak out. He didn't push Davin away. That feels like a huge weight from his shoulders and he arches up to give him another long, lingering kiss.

When Davin settles on top of him, James just shifts to fit their bodies together and lets his hands slide down to his waist. "I have met you," he says with an amused smile. It's easy to joke about the whole prince thing now, and he certainly doesn't mind that Davin thinks of him so positively. He sighs returning their kiss eagerly.

Davin's thigh slips between James' and he presses their bodies together. It's been so long since they've been together like this and it's hard not to feel robbed of so much time. They've only been together a few months but every moment still feels so new and exciting, so special, and he doesn't want to waste a single second of it.

James kisses him back enthusiastically and it's hard not to get lost in it. A pleasant shudder runs through Davin and he licks into James' mouth with a soft, happy noise. Kissing James is truly one of Davin's favorite things. It's like the whole world narrows down to this, to them, and Davin can just give himself to it and be safe. Not to mention how fun it is.

He stretches out on top of James and relaxes, sliding his hand down James' arm to find his hand and tangle their fingers together, squeezing tight as he pulls back enough to breathe and kisses James' jaw instead. "I still dreamed of doin' this with ya, even in the spell. I never stopped wantin' you."

"You weren't the only one." Even thought Davin didn't have his memories, for James it was difficult to separate his emotions from the person in front of him, who looked and talked like Davin, who still stirred such deep emotions inside of him. He wanted to hold and kiss him, but he couldn't when he didn't know who he really was. But now, making up for lost time definitely seems like the right idea.

He uses his other hand to slide his hands into Davin's hair as he kisses against his neck and jaw. They don't have to be in a hurry. Except it's been a long time. He feels his cock hardening between his legs, and all that would make him happy is for Davin to be closer now.

"Is that right?" Davin replies, lips brushing James' neck in a grin when he feels him getting hard. He hadn't thought much beyond getting them in bed where they could be comfortable and close, but this is good. This is perfect.

After everything they've been through, they're still here. They still have each other, and Davin just wants. His own cock stirs in his slacks as he slides his hand down James' chest and stomach, curving around his hip before reaching down to cup his dick through his underwear. Davin kisses him again, and this one is deep and lingering. His eyes fall shut as he works James through the thin fabric, and then he pulls away, breathing hard as he gets up on his hands and knees to pull James' underwear down over his hips.

"You're so damn gorgeous," he says quietly, slipping out of his own underwear and rocking forward to lay on top of James again, lining their hips up and going in for another kiss.

Lifting his hips from the mattress to help Davin remove his underwear, James can feel his breath increase at the movement, and he reaches out when Davin stands up, clutching his hip, pulling him closer once his clothes are removed too. His hips settle over his, and it's a ridiculously good feeling that makes him ache for even more.

He moves his hands back to Davin's waist guiding their cocks together, and as perfect as that feels he wants to be inside of him too. "That feels good," he tells him.

Davin doesn't answer with words, but instead a quiet breathy moan as their cocks slide together. He's suddenly desperate to get as close as he can, and he kisses James again before tucking his arm under his side and rolling them over.

He relaxes when James is on top of him, blanketing him, because Davin always feels safe like this. With James' weight on top of him, pressing him down into the bed, and with all of James' attention, Davin feels so incredibly lucky.

Davin spreads his legs so James can fall between them, and he slides one hand down the middle of his back while his other hand goes up to touch the soft hair at the back of his neck. He looks up at James, eyes bright as he smiles softly, mouth falling open on a quiet moan. "Tell me what you want?"

It's hardly a question worth asking in the end because James wants this, he wants everything. He settles for kissing Davin on the mother for a few moments, a long lingering kiss, now that he is more in control. He likes the feeling of Davin under him, warm and solid and smiling. It makes for a very pleasant picture. Pulling away, he reaches his hand between them, stroking Davin with his hand, teasing his fingers slowly.

"I want you," he answers without a second thought. He has missed having Davin this way. And now that he has him he wants all of him. He wants to feel him, to be inside him.

"Ya have me," Davin answers instantly, arching up with a gasp when James strokes his cock. He's eager for more, and his fingertips dig into James' shoulders as he pants out his name. James is looking down at him in a way that makes Davin shudder in a pleasant way. He feels so important, being here like this. He likes knowing that he has an effect on James, that he can make his eyes darken and his mouth fall open on a moan.

Davin gasps again and tips his head back, arching up and reaching blindly for the nightstand, but he doesn't quite reach. "James, please. Wanna be closer, need ya inside me."

Davin responds to his touch, gasping and arching his body, and something about it just makes James' skin tingle, knowing that he can make someone feel so good. He likes that he never has to worry about being something more or something greater. They can joke all they want about princes and fairytales, but he doesn't think Davin means it. He likes James just for being himself.

He sees Davin reach for the drawer and miss, so he quickly lifts up on his knees and opens it, gathering lube and a condom. There's no begging needed, he wants this just as much, and he rips open the foil and rolls the condom of his cock, his entire body feeling tight with need. Dripping the cool gel over his fingers he slips one finger inside of Davin, wanting to be inside him in the worst way. "Okay. Just tell me when," he says in a breath pressing his finger deeper, not wanting to rush, but hoping when is very soon.

It's all moving so fast, but that's what Davin wants. There's this sense of urgency, the need to be as close to James as possible, so he doesn't even mind that they're going from zero to sixty. He lets out a soft moan when James' finger slides inside of him, and he takes a deep breath to try and relax. It's been a little while, thanks to the spell, but Davin doesn't want to wait.

He looks up at James' face while he fingers him open, clutching at his shoulders with his legs spread wide. James hits that spot inside of Davin that makes him jerk up and gasp, and he's grinning as he nods.

"Yeah, I'm ready," Davin pants out, rocking his hips up and pulling James closer. "C'mon."

Normally James would take more time, gently use his fingers to drive Davin crazy with teasing until he knows they are both ready, but he doesn't think they can wait and Davin urges him on, spreading his legs so James fall forward. Blood is pumping quickly through his veins, a steady beat in against his neck as Davin says okay, and he moves his hands, reaching around for the lube once more. He uses the liquid to stroke his cock a couple of times then he rearranges his knees so he can enter Davin slowly, as carefully as possible.

Tight heat surrounds him, and Davin feels impossibly good even before James begins to move. He puts his hands along Davin's hips, digging his fingers in as their bodies move together. "God," he breathes out. This is what he wants, has wanted for days when Davin had forgotten him.

Davin lets out a quiet whimper as James pushes in. It burns, just a little, but Davin takes a breath and it's quickly replaced by pressure and heat, sending pleasure licking up his spine. James' cock is big and fills him so perfectly, and Davin moans as he bottoms out. Sex with James is always amazing, but there's sort of a desperate edge to it this time. They just went through a lot. They could have died, but they didn't. They're here, and they're together, and Davin just wants to be close like this.

"Fuck, ya feel so good." James is holding him to the bed and Davin hopes the way his fingers dig into his hips leave bruises behind, marks that he can look at and remember how this feels. His legs go around James' waist and he rocks up to meet his thrusts, hooking one arm around James' shoulders to pull him close enough to kiss.

In response, James kisses Davin back harder pressing his tongue inside to taste him, sighing a little as their bodies slide together. He doesn't want to think about what could have happened, how easily everything could have gone wrong with Nerium and that monster. He doesn't want to think that they nearly lost each other. He just wants to have this moment where everything is warm and perfect.

Everything is going fast, and he can feel his body tight and pressure-filled, but he uses his hand to stroke Davin's cock as he moves inside of him, still wanting him to feel good.

Davin jerks up when James' fingers wrap around his cock and he moans, digging his fingers into James' shoulder and rocking up to meet his thrusts. He presses his mouth against James' jaw, panting against it as he feels pleasure build. He's so close already, and he's trying to hold on but he can't. It's too much, and too good, and he presses their foreheads together.

"James, fuck. James." He comes with James' name on his lips, arching up with a cry as he shoots across James' fingers. He's panting, trembling all over, but he does his best to keep meeting James' thrusts, clenching down around his cock and cupping his cheek. "C'mon, babe. I wanna feel it."

James is not far behind Davin, coming with a shout as he rolls his hips forward losing his rhythm as his muscles tighten with pleasure, shooting straight down from his waist to his toes. He doesn't need the encouragement, but he likes the sound of his name falling from Davin's lips. He moans back at him. "Davin..." he says, feeling the sweat forming on his brow as their foreheads touch.

Soon he feels empty, soft waves of pleasure still rolling through him as he loosens his hard grip against Davin's hip. He smiles a little, his chest still heaving as he tries to catch his breath. "You're incredible."

Davin laughs breathlessly at the compliment, letting his arms fall above his head as he relaxes against the bed. He keeps one leg wrapped possessively around James waist as the other falls to the bed, and he smiles up at James before leaning up for a kiss.

"I'd say we make one hell of a team," he replies fondly, finding James' hand and threading their fingers together. He watches him for a long moment and then looks at the mess they made of the bed before laughing again. "Mm, I think we should go take a bath in that big fancy tub o' yours. Take advantage of havin' indoor plumbing back."

James stretches his own legs, limbs feel loose and languid, and he lets his hands settle back on Davin's skin. He smiles a little now feeling better than he has in days. Not just from the sex though that definitely helped. But feeling like things were finally normal again was a good thing.

"I'm not gonna say no to that,' he says taking a second before turning so he can let his legs off the side of the bed. "Come on. We'll shower. And have something to eat." He's gotten a little of his energy back, and he realizes it's been awhile since he's had food. Normal food too.
