I Do Not Own Much, Please Do Not Sue!

David wasn't sure when it had started but he thinks it might have been the sparring lessons. After a particularly nasty altercation with some Paladins, where the crap was beaten out of him yet again; Griffin had threatened him: Learn to fight or he'd kill David himself! So David did the sensible thing, he asked the Brit to teach him. He had expected a very loud and very colourful 'NO!' but thats not what he got. Instead Griffin had stepped closer, grabbed a handful of David's shirt and jumped them to some island, presumably a deserted one. And then to his astonishment, Griffin removed everything he was wearing except for his jeans. What. A. Sight! David thinks he might have drooled, he can't be sure though because the next moment he was being tackled to the ground. The Brit was sitting on him, straddling him, pinning him to the ground. And he was enjoying it! Griffin then lay down the law: 1 No jumping. At all!, 2 No speaking. At all! And 3 There would be lessons everyday for a month and if David didn't learn anything by the end of that time. Too bad! David was looking forward to a month of being able to touch Griffin without raising any suspicion.

Griffin knows exactly when it had started; that night in that bar. He had known there was another Jumper in the area and when he'd heard the accent he knew. Bloody American idiot! Didn't he know anything! But when he'd seen him, he had felt compelled to follow him, even to the bloody Colosseum! Even feeling protective of him! What was wrong with him? He's a lone wolf! He doesn't need anyone! But he'd told himself that it was because he, David as that brunette had called him, was another Jumper. And that in this world there were Jumpers, Paladins and everyone else; and as they say, each to their own. And if he ever did came across a sexy female Jumper, he'd drop the Yank like a hot potato. How wrong he was! David had gotten the shit beat out of him as usual during a brawl with some Paladins, and Griffin didn't think his heart could handle it anymore! One of these days the damned Paladins were either gonna kill him or capture him for their weapons testing. And he couldn't stand the thought of losing him, not that he would ever admit to it. So he gave him an ultimatum: Learn to fight or he, Griffin, would kill him himself. He definitely wasn't expecting David to ask him to teach him a few things. But in that instance a plan had formed itself and he knew that if he didn't act now, he never would. It was time the git leaned a few things about how Griffin really felt about him!
