Thank You for Your Consideration

He started to gasp as he neared his end. His pace was fast and jerky. Rex whimpered out a cry when he came and groaned as his bed sheets became wet with his release.

With his heart hammering and the blood rushing in his ears Rex held his breath and listened for any sound from his best friend and temporary housemate. As construction continued at Providence HQ he had been shacked up with Noah until the work was done. He knew doing this kind of thing under the same roof as his crush was just inviting trouble, but being around Noah more than he ever had before only made his infatuation with him grow and after holding back for a week was he needed some way to find release.

When he didn't hear anything Rex sighed and lay on his back and closed his eyes, allowing himself to enjoy the last few pulses of his orgasm.

His mind floated away in thought as his body relaxed. Rex shuddered as he imagined Noah rising from his bed and quietly climbing down the stairs and walking over to Rex's bed in the guest room. Of hearing him using the excuse of having a nightmare and asking if it would be alright if he stayed with him for a while. How he would make a joke about it but let Noah cuddle next to Rex for comfort. And Rex would hug him to his chest and inhale his scent.

Rex had almost drifted off to sleep when he felt a weight on the side of his bed.

"Rex." Noah asked, his voice was deep, but not with sleep. Rex knew what Noah sounded like when he was awoken too early. It was a groggily growling sound and Noah would slur his words together as if he were in a drunken stupor.

But the sound coming from the blond now was low and deep, husky even and his speech was clear "Rex, why did you do that and call out my name?"

Rex felt his heart jump into this throat and his stomach sink as if someone had kicked him in the stomach hard.

"No-Noah, I'm sorry," Rex defended sitting up quickly and fumbling for the lamp that hung above his head.

Noah wasn't facing him, instead his hands were clasped together and his head was bowed down staring at them.

Rex swallowed as he looked over at him. He was wearing only a muscle shirt and shorts. Noah's exposed skin as goose bumps appeared over his arms and legs.

Rex felt a flutter in his chest and looked away in shame. "I-I don't know what to say," Rex admitted and scratched the back of his neck from nerves.

"How long have you being doing that?"

Rex blushed deeply and opened his mouth to ask when Noah interrupted him.

"Have you been doing that for long, and why do you call out my name? Are you thinking about me while you do that? What are to thinking?"

"Noah."

Noah shifted his position so his knee was on the bed. "Do you think of anyone else while doing that? How often do you touch yourself? Do you wish your hand was mine? Are you in love with me or something? For how long have you been in love with me?"

"NOAH!" Rex shouted and cleared his throat when Noah quieted.

"So," Rex started and swallowed again and tried to start again. "I, uh, answer to some your questions," Rex looked up as he tried to remember which one Noah had asked first. "For a while now, about three or four weeks. I, um, call out your name because I AM thinking about you and I think about how nice it would be to touch you and to have you touch me back. I, uh, I once thought of Circe, but only once," Rex added quickly and held up his hands. "I don't know if I am in love with you yet, so yeah. I really don't remember the rest."

Noah raked a hand through his hair and Rex could see the deep red blush over his face.

"So, are we cool?" Rex asked as if this sad attempt of a conversation was enough.

"Um, just one more question," Noah asked as the hesitancy crept into his voice.

"Yes?" Rex asked feeling his chest constrict with desire.

"It's an odd one," Noah warned. "And it's more like a request."

"Oh, yeah?" Rex prompted feeling butterflies in his stomach.

"The next time you want to know how I f-feel, you can just uh, ask me and I might let you." Noah chuckled nervously and was unable to meet Rex's eye.

Rex couldn't believe his ears; did Noah just say what he thought he said?

"Noah, have you wanted..." Rex begun but was unable to continue.

He inhaled when Noah nodded.

"Yes, very much so," The poor blond looked like he was near tears as he looked at Rex. "I have wanted you for so long, but I never, never thought in a million-million years that you would ever ever ever-"

"I get it, Noah." Rex said with a smirk. Noah's insecurity was something that Rex was familiar with dealing with. He reached out for the blond and took his Noah's hand in his. "I've wanted you to...obviously."

Noah grinned at that and Rex felt his heart swell.

"So, what do we do now?" Rex asked.

Noah's smile faltered. "I don't know."

"Can I hug you?" Rex asked feeling silly as the words left his mouth. "We don't have to do anything else, but I would like try it."

Noah pressed his lips together as he thought about it. "Okay," he agreed.

Rex tried not to show how excited he was and failed as he placed both hands on Noah's shoulders. He felt Noah stiffened at his touch as he brought him close, wrapping his arms around his neck.

Noah quickly warmed into the embrace and brought his hands up to cling to Rex.

A shudder went through Noah and Rex looked down to check on him at the same time that Noah turned his head towards Rex and their noses bumped and their lips skimmed over the other's.

Surprised by the sudden lip contact Rex jerked back but Noah followed him and pressed his lips to Rex's in a needy kiss.

Rex's hold on Noah tightened as he responded. Again and again they kissed until Noah lightly pushed him away.

"I think that's enough for tonight, don't you think?" Noah asked red faced and panting.

No, Rex wanted to say and continue on kissing Noah until his lips fell off.

He hadn't realized he said it out loud until Noah laughed. "Which is why it's the perfect time to stop. Always leave them wanting more."

"You are a tease."

"I'm not," he defended. "Well, maybe a little," he amended when Rex gave him a look. "But you have to admit this is a lot to take in. We have a lot to discuss, but not now. I have a test in the morning and need to sleep."

"Okay," Rex conceded but he was able to sneak one more kiss in

Before he left Noah turned back around.

"Noe?"

"Thank you," Noah said randomly.

"For what?"

"For being able to see me as someone you could feel that way towards."

Noah's words took Rex by surprise. Was he kidding? How could Rex not have been attracted to him? He was about to call him out on that, but when he looked at Noah he saw that his friend was being one hundred percent serious.

So Rex responded in kind. "It's my pleasure, Noe."
