Virgil was squirming in FAB2 in a fair bit of discomfort. It had nearly been two days since the 'nightmare incident', as he had so dubbed it, and the nightmare had brought to the forefront of his mind the fear of loosing the man he loved; which is why when he had woken up that morning once again in John's bed surrounded by John's things, his warmth and the smell that he distinctly knew as John's, he'd decided that he wanted to show his love for the other man, even if nobody else would know it he still felt the great urge to do…..Something at least! Well he wouldn't be the only one that knew about it….Alan would know too as the elder Tracey told his younger brother near everything, ever since that day Alan had walked in on him moaning Johns name whilst doing 'interesting' things to himself.
He shuddered at the memory feeling a jolt of pleasure go straight to his groin, not at all helping the pain in his side. He had better get back and quick too…..he was fast developing some trouble concentrating on flying….
Whilst back on Tracey Island all seemed well as two brothers spoke.
"Now Alan you need to be verrrry careful….if there are ANY problems at all…." John didn't get to finish his sentence as Alan finished it for him.
"Call you right away; I know John I'm not stupid." He said for what seemed like the hundredth time, a small smile on his lips. John was nervous he could tell, but he let his eldest brothers constant warnings and emergency procedures be repeated…..a lot…..because he could also tell that he was excited, oh hell was he excited.
He smiled to himself as he watched John rattle off yet another protocol….or something he wasn't really listening as he laughed at the LCD image of his brother trying to remain calm.
"John I get it alright? Everything's fine and everything's going to be fine so chill will ya!" Alan said trying to reassure the elder.
John nodded, he knew that Alan was right, everything would be ok…..he hoped.
"Okay, but just be careful." He said with a small smile allowing himself to relax some.
"I will you know I will, so shoo and go have fun!"
As John smiled brightly and left his eyesight he muttered to himself, a smile playing on the edges of his lips.
"Crazy kids…."
Virgil's hands were tapping on the steering wheel of FAB2 as he sang along to one of his favourite songs, one of those ones that always seemed to be singing about him.
"Another day goes without any change
The feeling we live with still remains
We're stuck in a hole and we're searching for anything to hold onto
There has to be somewhere that we can be safe from the lives we live each day
There has to be somewhere that we can be far away..."
Virgil made the turn despite his mind being elsewhere; he was still singing away feeling every note of the song, every beat coursed through him as he closed his eyes and sang wishing only John could hear him.
"We have to escape, and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way!
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together everyday…"
FAB2's altitude began to drop as he approached Tracey island, he knew this route off by heart, and he wasn't about to stop singing out to his love anytime soon.
"We could living how we wanted to
Instead of doing things we're forced to do
With no one to tell us that we should be going through what they went through
There has to be some place that nobody knows, somewhere we can only go
There has to be some place that we can be all alone..."
"We have to escape, and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way!
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together everyday…"
Virgil opened his eyes once more listening to the instrumental part of the song as he lined up FAB2 and landed perfectly, as per usual.
He couldn't help but smile to himself as he stepped out of the now stationary craft as he couldn't wait to show Alan his small proclamation of love for John.
As he got out of the car he started to belt out the final chorus of the song, meaning every word as he sang up to thunderbird 5.
"We have to escape, and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way!
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together everyday…"
And with that final line he slammed the door closed to FAB2 and spun on his heel before he walked away from the car, still humming under his breath.
A small jolt of fear shot through Virgil then as he realised that Gordon was home…..and if he found out about what he'd had done he wouldn't be all that happy. You see Gordon was a great guy…..on the outside anyway and to everyone except Virgil, at some point after Gordon had hit his teens he developed an obsession with his elder brother and had had it ever since.
He had stalked Virgil so to speak, unknowingly to the rest of the family of course but he had become even more possessive and violent over the years; so if he found out about what Virgil had done to himself for John there'd be hell to pay…..
Even though it wasn't obvious who this small…..hmmm…..how to put it…….'gift' on his own body was for, he would certainly figure it out…..
Well he'd just have to be careful then wouldn't he?
With that thought in mind Virgil carried on walking towards the pool area of Tracey island intent on finding his youngest trouble causing brother, so he could show someone what he'd had done to himself for the man he loved.
Virgil's eyes went instantly to the side of the large pool that adorned the Tracey's vast garden as he walked slowly trying not to jar his left side.
"Alan!" He yelled once again, and in getting no response he trudged towards the house mumbling to himself as he went.
"Damn kid……never around when I need him….." Although he couldn't help but smile to himself as he could only imagine the mischief that he was more than likely up to with Fermat……or maybe he didn't want to know….
He kicked a stone in frustration, shoving his hands into his pockets as he watched the stone skip away into the nearby bushes. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw that the old warn down hammock was occupied.
"There you are Ala….n……" His sentence was cut short as was his joy at finding his younger brother because it was most definitely not the teenage boy in the hammock before him. Virgil watched the 'man' in the hammock, appreciating the slightly golden lean legs and…..WOAH…..What an upper body! He shook his head trying to clear it of the many impure thoughts that were currently occupying it, and instead decided to focus on seeing the familiar sexy….'dammit!'……he muttered as he corrected his mental definition of the 'INTRUDE'S' face as it was hidden behind what seemed to be today's newspaper. He found this a hard thing to do whilst also trying not to reveal himself at the same time.
The ever stealthy pilot of Thunderbird 2 crept closer to the intruder readying himself to pounce at any given moment; when his attack was thwarted by a small stone that found its way under his foot, causing him to stagger forwards and go for a very nice trip towards the hammock.
"AHHHH!" Was all that Virgil managed as he fell unceremoniously onto the intruder, successfully knocking them both to the floor with a loud thud.
The man looked from behind his newspaper to be greeted with another body falling towards him, and without thinking he opened his arms and held that body close as he used his body to cushion their impact with the ground.
Virgil felt him self hit something that was a lot softer than the ground, and it took him a few minutes to realise exactly what had happened.
This however gave the man beneath him time to appraise Virgil's handsome face and enjoy the sensation of the young mans arms around him and his body pressed close. Since it seemed hat Virgil wasn't going to move anytime soon the 'cushion' on which the handsome one had landed decided to move things along, and so he squeezed the pilot of Thunderbird 2's waist, and THAT got his attention.
Virgil froze like a deer caught in headlights when he felt a gentle squeeze around his waist; he slowly cracked his eyes open still not removing his arms from around the other man, afraid that if he did it would all be over in a heart beat.
He breathed in deeply as he prepared himself for the worst, but instead of feeling anxiety and fear course though him he suddenly felt at ease and safe.
As his eyes opened he felt anticipation rise in him, but not because he was afraid more because he was…..curious as to what awaited him.
Virgil blinked owlishly until his eyes finally adjusted to the now dimming light and he looked around until his eyes met with those of the man below him.
His heart seamed to freeze when he saw who was beneath him, his breath couldn't even leave his mouth to form a simple gasp. If he thought his heart was beating fast before…….then damn it was going at light speed now!
"Hey V" Came the soft seductive voice of the man Virgil loved. His heart was now nearly hammering through his chest and the happiness that overwhelmed him was immeasurable, yet he still couldn't utter a single word.
John's face began to show how he was starting to feel, like this was a stupid, stupid idea! What made him think that Virgil would even want to see him……he hadn't so much as reacted to John's presence since he'd opened his eyes and he'd said hello.
He could tell he was going to get really upset really fast, so he might as well just make up some excuse as to why he was here and get on with running away to his room.
Virgil watched as John turned his head to one side a defeated crushed look on his beautiful face. He mentally smacked himself square in the face as he realised that he hadn't even acknowledged Johns existence, he must have thought that Virgil hated him or something and it took on more word from the eldest of the Tracey brothers to spur him into action.
"Virgil….I….." The younger of the two was suddenly released from his stupor just as John's grip on him started to loosen.
'No' he though 'don't let go John' he never wanted the other to leave again and right now he didn't care about who saw him or what they thought about his actions.
The pilot of Thunderbird 5 could feel the first of the tears rising to his eyes and was about to close them when he heard a loud sob come from above him and felt Virgil's arms shift to around his neck as the Virgil's body crushed down onto his own, and it took John next to no time to react and return the most welcome embrace full force.
Virgil couldn't hold back the sob of joy that escaped from his throat when he finally realised that he could touch the man he loves! And damn did he touch him! He wrapped his arms securely around John's neck and pressed his body up against the others, so tightly in fact that it looked as if they were one, as if the were made for each other.
Virgil's entire body shook as he couldn't control the tears that were flowing freely onto John's shoulder.
"It's alright V; I'm here now……I've got you….." John managed to croak out whilst stroking Virgil's hair lovingly, clinging straight back afraid that it would all disappear if he loosened his grasp.
And that wasn't far from the truth as there was another pair of eyes watching them, and if the owner would have had his way he would have ripped them apart if only he could.
The two entwined, secret, unknown lovers would soon find out that love was most certainly a dangerous thing.
