Davin doesn't really know what's wrong with him.

Well, he has some ideas. He's been through a lot. A whole lot, but he should be better than this. He should be stronger. But apparently he isn't. He can feel himself withdrawing, getting quieter. Getting sad. This isn't a new feeling to Davin in the slightest, but he's always been able to beat it before. He's always been able to come out on top, no matter what he's faced.

Maybe not this time.

He feels this desperate urge to get away from the city, and he finds himself thinking about Brigid's shrine. He could be in Ireland in under an hour, and the temptation is strong. Really, incredibly strong. But he can't just leave. He has responsibilities. He has James.

Davin knows that he isn't really being fair to James. It's a lot of pressure to put on what's still a fairly new relationship, but he's trying. He feels best when he's in James' arms, and that means so much to him. It's why he wants to go away with him so badly. Part of it, anyway. But that isn't right either. The trip is supposed to be a happy event, not an escape. He just needs to try harder. '

He's home from work, and he's exhausted. His potions sped up his healing and his cast is already off. There are no physical reminders left from his time with Roman, saved for a faint, silvery scar where the wrench hit his temple. He's back to work full time, maybe a little bit more than full time, but he still loves what he does. Working on cars helps clear his head, and makes everything feel a little bit normal.

After his shower, he's considering just going to bed. It's still relatively early, but lately he's just been so exhausted. It's summer, but he's pale. There are dark circles under his eyes, and even though his enchanted charm keeps the actual nightmares away, he still has trouble falling to sleep. Everything is just so much.

He's standing in the door of his bedroom when there's a knock on the front door. After pulling on some sweats, he goes over to open it. James is standing on the other side, and Davin's mouth curves up into a genuine smile. He brightens a little at the unexpected visit, and he stands up a little straighter. "Hey, babe. It's good t'see ya. Come on in."

It's late, and James just left the police station changing out of his work clothes and into jeans and a t-shirt before he leaves and makes the short drive to Davin's apartment. It isn't that late, but when Davin answers something about it surprises him maybe. He hasn't seen much of Davin, and he feels like he's seen him just as much as normal, but something is off lately. Maybe that's why he decided to come over.

Davin smiles at him when he opens the door though, and James returns it. "Hey," he says, thinking that before he probably would've called first, but Davin doesn't seem to mind. "Just got off work. Were you asleep?"

James chuckles under his breath as he walks through the door, closing it behind him and tugging off his jacket. "Definitely disappointed," he says, making his way into the room. He takes a seat on the sofa in the space beside Davin, turning to look at him with a smile.

"Unfortunately. No. It was a quiet day," he says, but it's not unfortunate. Quiet days made James happy.

James chuckles at Davin's comment about his clothes, but then he moves his hands up to his shoulder, gripping him gently to bring them both into a soft kiss. It's nice, familiar, something that's nice to come back to after he's left all the worries of work behind. Eventually he draws away, letting his hand stay where it is on Davin's neck.

"Were you about to go to bed?" he asks, touching the soft hairs at his neck.

James smiles when Davin kisses his wrist wondering if perhaps he'd been imagining that something has been wrong with Davin. He doesn't think so, but he is happy to have made him better. Even for a moment. "I can stay." He nods, letting his hands move down to Davin's neck and leaning forward for another kiss. Even if he wasn't concerned about Davin stating over sounds like a good idea. "I didn't grab food on the way over though," he says.

James takes the menus flipping through them until he comes across the one for a small chinese place that stays open fairly late. They deliver to the station all the time so he knows it's decent. He gives Davin a pat on the knee where his legs are stretched out beside him and looks at him for a moment. "I'll order enough for leftovers," he says digging out his phone to dial. There's an answer on the other end, and he orders a few different choices, easily enough since he knows what Davin likes to eat by now. Just in case he decides he's hungry later on.

After he hangs up he puts away his phone again. "How's the hand today?" He asks then reaching out to take it. It looks healed compared to when Davin first left the hospital.

James returns the squeeze of his hand and kisses the back of it. "That's good," he says with a pleased nod. He knows that what happened with the kidnapping was traumatic, but the fact that Davin made it out without any permanent injuries was something close to a miracle. He isn't sure what he would've done if something worse would've happened.

He puts an arm around Davin's shoulders. "Is everything else okay?" he asks.

"It's gonna take time," James says shifting a little so he can get a better look a Davin, perhaps even relieved that he wasn't going crazy. That he recognized what was happening. It means he can keep a closer eye now without feeling like he's reading too much into every little thing. "It isn't easy what happened but you can talk to me or your friends or if you don't think you can talk to us, the station has a few connections with counselors from the hospital...."

He sighs with a nod. "I'm just saying it's okay. That you're not over it yet," he says. "Just. Davin. You don't have to pretend to be fine...if you're low, you're low. I'll still be here. You know that right?"

"I know it is, and you don't have to handle it all alone," James tells him because Davin's right too much has happened over these past few months to deny the trauma of it. He just wants Davin to be okay; that's all he cares about in the end. With a smile, he mirrors Davin's gestures letting his hands rest on his face and nods at him. "You and me. We're good, Davin," he assures him kissing him back letting a warm feeling wash over him. Davin says he doesn't know what he's doing, and maybe James has been in the relations in the past but never one quite like this. He feels differently about Davin than he ever has about anyone else. Something stronger. More real. He wants to hold onto it for as long as possible. He rubs his hands down his shoulders. "I don't want anything to happen to you," he says.

It takes a few seconds for James to even process the scene that just took place, at how the delivery guy looked like he just smashed into an invisible wall when trying to step into Davin's apartment. Luckily, the guy doesn't look to angry or disturbed, and James remembers Davin telling him about Joel helping him put up protection for his place. In this particular case, he is all for whatever Davin needs to keep himself feeling safe. It's obvious that he needs something to assure him of that.

Standing up from the couch, he fishes out his wallet and hands over enough cash to cover the food and a decent tip seeing as how the guy just got his face smashed in. "Keep the change," James tells him with a loose smile then carries the food into the kitchen.

He fishes out a plate from the cabinets and some utensils. "You sure you don't want any?" he asks once the guy is gone.

"Only if you want," James offers spooning enough fried rice and chicken onto his plate to cover the entire thing. It's still been busy at the station with all the chaos surrounding the disappearance if the mayor and trying to figure out who had turned the town upside down. He hadn't stopped long enough for lunch to eat much of anything except for a quick cup of coffee and a couple pastries from the break room.

He gives Davin a smile as he puts the container near him to take some if he wants. Fishing out an egg roll, he goes around the counter to take a seat on the barstool beside where Davin is standing.

"Do I get to nag you if all you're eating is a bagel and coffee?" he asks taking a but of his dinner.

James is still eating as he watches Davin cleaning up the food and putting it away for later. "Yeah," he agrees when Davin asks and continues eating until he's polished off most of the food he's put on his plate. What's left, he scraps away into the trashcan and places his plate in the sink to wash later. "Come on, we can do the rest later," he offers taking Davin's hand to tug him back towards the living room.

Now that he's eaten, he's full and tired from his shift. He doesn't think Davin will mind if they just relax for the rest of the night.

"I might." James leans into the touch Davin gives him, liking the feeling as they rest against each other. When Davin sighs, James relaxes even more, letting his hand go to his back for a moment. He'd been worried about how Davin was handling his kidnapping, and it's obvious things are still working themselves out. Still, James is just glad that he's here and they are together; he knows he can help Davin figure this out if he lets him.

He gives Davin a gentle kiss on forehead. "Are you tired?" he asks.

[personal profile] jamesthorn 2015-07-14 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Carry you?" James chuckles at Davin's teasing, but he isn't about to say no to heading off to bed together, not when things have been so stressed lately. For a moment though, he enjoys the feel of Davin's fingers sliding through his hair and the soft kiss against his mouth. They pull away, and James pats Davin on the hip to let him up from the couch. "You really want me to pick you up?" He's asking as he leans over to help Davin too.

When Davin doesn't budge, he shifts his arms around his waist and lifts with his knees until he has Davin up from the couch. "You are much heavier than you look," James grumps but it's with a smile.

When Davin swooningly calls him a prince, he just snorts and shakes his head. He has grown used to the ongoing joke about his prince status. He's amused by it mostly, but he also thinks Davin wouldn't say it if he didn't think James treated him right. That's something that's important to him. He cares about Davin, and he just wants him to know that.

With a soft smile, he carries Davin towards the back of the apartment in the direction of his bedroom. They make it inside, and James lets Davin down onto the bed stumbling only a little from the sudden decrease in weight. He leans away for the brief second it takes to kick away his shoes, still looking at Davin. "Any other requests?"

Removing his shirt and tossing it aside, James looks down at Davin with a grin on his face, laughing when he suggests chocolate. "No shirts," he agrees shifting his body so he can move onto the bed, careful as he lowers his body against Davin. He finds Davin's mouth with his own, kissing him deeply as he moves his hands up to cup his face, their mouths moving together. He wants more, but he could do this for awhile, just kissing sends a shot of warmth over him that still feels exciting.

After a minute or two, he pulls back letting one hand drift downward to find Davin's waist trying to get the rest of their clothes off as soon as possible.

He's surprised when Davin rolls them over, easing them into reverse positions until James is flat on his back, staring up at Davin, who is now straddling his hips. Placing his hands along Davin's sides, rubbing up his back and thighs, he sighs when their bodies rock together, slow and languid. "Yes," he breathes nodding back at him, letting a hand move up to Davin's cheek. He will do anything Davin wants. Slow or fast.

"Come here," he tells him, threading his fingers through Davin's hair to pull him forward again, kissing him deeper.

[personal profile] jamesthorn 2015-07-19 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Really good," he says his breathe uneven as Davin's hands move against his cock, teasing him so slowly that James isn't sure if he wants to wait and let Davin continue or if he wants to pull him closer right this second. His body responds to Davin's hands, flushing hot all over and tight, and there's never been a time with Davin where the sex hasn't felt good. Yet, they've also gotten better at this, he is more sure, more knowledge about what Davin wants from him and how to make him feel good, and it's definitely the same in reverse. He likes that. He likes the comfortable feeling of being with someone that means something to him.

He lets his hands fall against Davin's back when he kisses against his neck, and the feeling of his tongue makes him shiver a little. Without thinking he lets one hand slip into Davin's underwear, wanting to touch him too, pressing him closer against his body, feeling the hardness against his thigh. It already feels amazing, but he wants more.

Taking the supplies from Davin's hands, James sits up long enough to open the bottle and coat his fingers with liquid, trying to concentrate on the task at hand, but losing himself in the deep kisses Davin offers him for several seconds. He slides his hands down Davin's back until he clutches at his hips and then his ass squeezing for a moment even though he can feel Davin urging him closer.

He would take his time the way Davin did, but he wants all of him now and it seems impossible to go slow. Reaching down he lets his fingers move , slipping one inside of him, slowly moving in and out, stretching him enough before offering more. As he does, he uses his other hand against Davin's neck moving him into another kiss.

Slow. James just sighs at Davin's request, kissing him again on the mouth, and he does want to take his time with this, to feel everything, every inch of Davin but sometimes it feels like he can't get close enough. He's greedy for more when they are this way together, but he lets his lips linger slower the way Davin asks, letting hsi hands drift up to his neck and then into his hair, savoring the taste and the feel of him until he's once again breathless.

When Davin moves, James' entire body goes tense with anticipation because he knows how close he is being inside Davin. He watches sighing as Davin holds himself steady for a few moments and then sinks over him. All he can do is place his hands on Davin's hips, squeezing hard until he feels like he's not going to just come right then, breathing through the contact. He responds to Davin by moving his mouth up to kiss him deeper than before as he shifts his hips in upward motion.

It doesn't just feel good. It feels amazing.
jamesthorn: (coolio)

[personal profile] jamesthorn 2015-07-30 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
As directed, James reaches up to wrap his arms around Davin's back, pulling him down even closer, hugging their chests close together. Their foreheads are slicked together close, and he smiles a little before Davin kisses him a few more times. His heart is racing in his chest even though they are still moving slowly, their bodies sliding together rhythmically and perfectly, but his body fills with anticipation and the need of release and he can feel his heartbeat thumping against his ribcage. He wants this to last longer, but he is so close and he can tell from the sighs Davin breathes against him he's close too.

He moans as Davin presses back against him harder this time and he has to move his mouth away to catch his breath feeling his muscles tense all over his body. It is barely a few more seconds before he comes wishing he could hold back longer. Letting his hands slide up into Davin's hair he holds him as his orgasm shoots through him until the muscles in his stomach release. He gathers himself enough to reach out for Davin, putting his hands on his cock and stroking him wanting him to feel as good as he does.

When Davin settles against him, shaken and tired, James reaches up to thread his fingers through his hair softly, enjoying the feeling of them together, not ready to move just yet either. Their breathes slowly come to settle again, and he leans down to kiss Davin a couple of times on the forehead until he moves them into another kiss, letting their mouths meet for a few seconds.

"I'm glad we're together," he says pulling away enough to see his face.

jamesthorn: (Default)

[personal profile] jamesthorn 2015-08-04 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)

Sighing happily at the words, James shifts over enough that he can pull Davin into his arms, kissing him against the temple as the energy drains out of his body. His limbs feel heavy, but he likes this feeling and doesn't want to fall asleep yet even though he's tired from his day at work. It's nice being able to stay with Davin this way, after they've been together. The intimate moments like really make him happiest. It's obvious that Davin feels that connection to him too, and he smiles when he brings their hands together.

"Good," he tells him letting his hands drifting up his arm with his other hand, letting his head fall against the pillow. "As long as you know that I'm here for you, Davin." Because it's important he doesn't forget that.

jamesthorn: (hot)

[personal profile] jamesthorn 2015-08-12 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Sighing softly, James looking back at Davin shaking his head. "I wouldn't dream of falling asleep on you," he says letting his feet tangle with Davin's as they both relax together. Despite the tiredness settling over him, he'll stay awake as long as possible so they can enjoy the moment, enjoy how it still feels nice to bee together this way after all these months.

"If you keep kissing me, I might be able to stay awake a little better," he offers with a smile.
