The sun’s sliding down behind the oaks, and I enjoy this, watching a quiet afternoon play out. The flow of sunlight and shadow drifts across the intricate tangle of the trees, sifts through their tall crowns, down across the thicker bones of limbs and trunks . . . fuck, I wish he were here. He gives me nights, but when this same California sun barely has a chance to break over these same trees, he leaves.

He’ll let me fuck him, but he won’t share my bed, not in the way I want.

The central air conditioning clicks on, gently circulating small currents of air, modulated to a certain comfortable degree. Wonder if a heart could work that way? Switch on, off, stay evenly modulated . . . yeah right. Not me, no fucking way.

Don’t expect him to return my call. He’ll either show, or he won’t. I’ll wait, won’t push, see what he wants to do. We have our nights, our barely mornings, and if he comes to me I’ll take him. I’ll love him, show him I’m not trying to undo what’s gone before. I’ll take whatever tiny slice of opportunity he gives me. Swear to god, I’ll do it right, this time.

Thank you! I think, right now, Viggo's determined to just wait Sean out. He's afraid if he pushes for what he really wants, Sean will run from him. Thanks for reading, ;)

Beautifully done. Wonder if a heart could work that way? Switch on, off, stay evenly modulated... yeah right. Not me, no fucking way. That was just so right. Poor Viggo - I really hope Sean appreciates what he's got there! *sits back and waits for part 3*

Thanks so much! So glad you felt this 'sounded' like Vig. It seems they're both taking their sweet time in getting around to explaing what's going on, *pets stubborn men* but they'll get there eventually, ;) Thanks for reading!

Ow, ow, ow! Poor boys. Stubborn and so completely in love... and good for Viggo to not push. Sean would be pushing, I'm sure. *grin*

Can't wait to see more!

Stubborn and in love, you've got it exactly, though they may seem to be working at cross purposes at the moment. Viggo does need to be cautious, but he'll also need to know when to pull out all the stops. We'll see what they do, the gorgeous, contray things. Glad you enjoyed! ;)

Perhaps Viggo could try tying him to the bed? (Sorry, mind is perpetually in the gutter, it just had to be said!)

Anyway, after recently smacking Viggo in response to another story I feel its only fair to do the same to Sean!

On a serious note, really well written again, tugs at the heart-strings and lots of lovely visuals of the sunrise!

Hee! I'm all for tying him to the bed, *g*

Glad you enjoyed this, the visuals and everything, thanks for reading! ;)

I'm sure Viggo would think exactly like that. Very much in character, and beautiful,

"I’ll love him, show him I’m not trying to undo what’s gone before."

Just what he needs, perhaps . . . looking forward to finding out.

OH, it's so angsty, I hope you write more of it. I love those complicated fillings and this very complicated relationship.

Thank you! I'm happy you are enjoying these two guys, even with all their complications. Next part should be up tomorrow, thanks for reading! ;)
