Jim's gone. Thought this day would never come, and then thought he'd never get over it. But with the help of a friendly fellow killer named Dalen Lacey, Sebastian Moran is getting back on his feet. A new lover, a new job. How could anything go wrong? Jim returns. Post-Reichenbach Fall Dalen/Sebastian Jim/Sebastian

The sun shone in through the thin curtains, shedding light onto the room and its occupants. Two bodies lay on the small bed, entangled with one another, the warm blanket covering both bodies. Birds started chirping in the distance and the smell of food wafted up into the dimly lit room.

The taller of the two men in the bed stirred, his sense keen on the wonderful scent of food down below. He sat up slowly, his body creaking in protest of his movements. He stretched, bones cracking pleasantly, and then rubbed his eyes as he yawned. The man glanced about him, and his eyes settled on his bed partner, a fond smile touching his lips.

Leaning over, he pressed a gentle kiss to the man's forehead and brushed a stray hair from his content features. A smile took over his lips as the other man stirred at the contact. The smaller of the two opened his eyes slowly and looked up at the other, sleep not having completely left his soft features.

"Morning, sleeping beauty." Sebastian whispered, cupping the others face and pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. He pulled away slowly and chuckled at the glare that greeted him on his lover's face. Even angry, the smaller man was a sight to see.

The other was not much for conversations early in the morning, so he simply rolled his eyes and rolled out of bed. He walked, naked, over to the bathroom and turned the shower on and stepped in. He stood under the water, letting it wash over him, washing away his sleepiness.

Sebastian wandered into the bathroom and stepped into the shower behind the other man. He carefully wrapped his arms around the other man's waist and placed his hands on his chest, leaning over and resting his chin on the other's shoulder.

The smaller man opened his eyes and a smile ghosted his lips and he leaned back into the other man's body. He gasped slightly and blushed just a bit. "Well…goodmorning to you too, sniper." he whispered, turning and nibbling the taller man's ear.

Sebastian let a quiet moan slip past his lips, gripping the other man's chest and shivering. "Dalen…don't make me take you in this shower." he growled and chuckled darkly, pulling Dalen down to kiss him fiercely.
