Dublin City
Part 4
It was late evening when Cheryl popped her head around the door to check on Ste. Her first sight was of her brother sat in a chair next to the bed. He was starting to slump to one side showing he'd been asleep for quite sometime now, obviously not wanting to leave Ste alone. Cheryl smiled fondly and hung back longer to take in this picture, a memory she knew would stay with her over time. She tapped lightly on the side of the door, enough to rouse Brendan from his slumber.
Brendan jolted awake, blinked his eyes at the sudden sound struggling to remove the sleep from his tired eyes. The room was darker now as the evening had progressed and the only light stretched out from the doorway Cheryl stood in.
"Chez, hi" Brendan croaked, blissfully stretching out the kinks in his body. "Ye alright? Need a hand downstairs?"
"Bar's closed love. Macca has just left and to be honest it's been really quiet."
"Ah, unusual" Brendan continued to whisper through their conversation sitting himself up straight in the chair.
"Not really, It'll be the run up to St Patrick's day won't it, everyone saving up - same each year." Cheryl mused with a thin smile. She looked over at Ste who still hadn't spoken.
Brendan swung his head around to Ste and edged forward from the chair he'd been sat asleep in to the bed. "Slipped my mind. I'll take him to the bridge if he's feeling up to it. Steven won't have seen it all painted green and lit up will he?"
"Aw, great idea. I bet he'll like that - spending time with ye that is"
Brendan raised his eyebrows at his sister and reached his hand over to stroke gently against Ste's forehead. The heat radiating through his palm in an instant. Brendan kept moving and lifted up the strands of his damp hair.
"How is he doing?"
"Burning up Chez - and he's been asleep all this time" Brendan said, concern lacing his words as Cheryl walked over to the bed and tested Ste's temperature for herself.
"He's boiling. Maybe we should call a doctor?"
"Hm, yeah. There's that question again though - what do we know about him Chez? He could be allergic to things, we can't even give out a medical history or next of kin"
"Well I'll do it then"
"Who are ye supposed to be?"
"I dunno. I could say I'm his sister?"
"No because if he needs bloods they'll be asking questions won't they, ones neither of us have the answers to"
"Bloods? Stop being melodramatic Bren, he's got the flu"
"All I'm saying is we can't go ask his family - he stowed on the ferry over here to get away from home"
"A stowaway?!" Cheryl spoke loudly and left Brendan checking she'd not woken Ste up. Quickly shooing her from the room, Brendan pulled the door to quietly.
"A stowaway?" Cheryl repeated in a low voice, she looks back at the door. "How do ye know that?"
"Steven mentioned it" Brendan regretted saying it now, wasn't sure if he'd been meant to spill that bit of information. "Look, I don't know the full story okay but, gotta be desperate to do that ain't ye? He's had a bad time back home and the last thing he needs is a doctor asking questions" Brendan leaned back on the wall and held his head back to think.
"I won't say anything" Cheryl said, moving away from the door. "Ste has told ye more than me, but that's a good thing."
"He needs rest. It doesn't matter what's happened, it is now we gotta concentrate on"
"Stowaway though..."
"Hmm. Everyone's life is complicated though, even mine"
"Yours?" Cheryl stopped pacing the corridor and looks at her brother incredulously, her arms held against her hips. "That boy in there is mad about ye, he's young, gorgeous and fit. What the hell have ye to complain about?"
Brendan laughs at his sister's face then. Smiling with fondness he pulls her into a hug. "Point. Call the doctor, I'll pay private if I have too, get him here soon as possible yeah?"
Brendan makes his way back into the darkened bedroom but leaves the door open for some light to pour in. He goes to the side of the bed Ste is turned at so he can get a good look at him, tests the cool of his hands before placing them upon his face.
"Steven?" Brendan calls his name with a low tone, drags the back of his fingers down his cheek and barely whispers "Hey beautiful"
Ste stirs a little, tries to open his eyes. Ste's long swept lashes flutter and open to look at Brendan. Ste manages a small smile, but his groans are evident when he tries to move. He's worse than before now, every bone in his body aches and moving is proving hard work in his weakened state.
"Hi" Ste said swallowing against his dry throat. "Did ya call me beautiful?"
"Dreaming again" Brendan smiled as Ste did. "Hearing things?"
"Might be ill but I ain't deaf yet" Ste spoke with slight amusement, focusing on the limited light that showed off Brendan's face. He was still smiling when he lent forward to kiss Ste's forehead.
"You're so hot" Brendan's voice edges with concern, bumping their noses briefly.
"Ta, not so bad yourself" Ste faintly smiled. "What time is it?"
"Late, you've slept hours. Listen, we're calling the doctor okay? Need to make sure this isn't something bad."
"No" Ste shakes his head a little. "No, I don't like hospitals Bren. Spent too much time in them, wanna stay with here with you"
"Ye are with me. It might not come to that but if it does I won't leave ye okay?" Brendan releases a quiet breath. "Gotta get ye better alright?"
Ste nods his head sniffing and wheezing as he breathes. "Please don't let them admit me Bren..."
"C'mon, don't get upset" Brendan swallowed the lump in his throat and kept his cool hands against Ste's face.
"If ya knew...if you could see, you'd understand why I need to stay."
"Okay, just get checked over?"
Feeling light headed all he could do was nod and tries to raise his hand off the bed, Brendan notices the movement and holds it in his own. "Glad ya still here. Your hands are warmer now"
"No wonder, mapped half your skin earlier. Do ye remember?"
"Not gonna forget your hands on me" Ste admitted squeezing Brendan's hand. "Felt nice"
"Nice?" Brendan asked leaning closer to Ste, he could feel the heat radiating off his face as Ste nodded again.
"Bit more than nice" Ste's smile widened. "Would like you to do it again - for medicinal purposes of course"
"Naturally" Brendan pursed his lips agreeing. "I'll stick my hands in the freezer later, get those nipples of yours standing to attention again"
"Bren..." Ste bit down on his bottom lip. Brendan laughs as he teases, the thought of it soaring his own body heat higher.
"Like a sauna in here, I'll bring a fan in too"
Brendan stood up fast when the doctor walks into the kitchen, Cheryl persuaded him to move away from outside the bedroom door and follow her. She'd made a cup of tea and placed it in front of him but Brendan was far to distracted to drink it, the cooled down brew spilt as Brendan knocked the table.
"How is he doc?"
"He's got the flu, looks worse than it is but maybe should be admitted purely because of how weak he is" The doctor said writing out some details on a prescription pad.
"No, look he doesn't want to be in hospital, he told me" Brendan explained meeting the doctors eyes.
"I'm not surprised given his medical history. Are either of ye related to Steven?"
Brendan swallows and turns to look at Cheryl. "He mentioned a Brendan - I am assuming that is yourself. Only his next of kin is down as a Terry Hay, since Steven's mother passed away. I can't disclose anything if you're not family"
"I'm his sister in law" Cheryl lied, side glancing Brendan with her nerves. "Ye can tell me okay? Ste had to get away from home recently, came to stay with us"
"Hm" The doctor paused glancing up at them both. "I'm sure you'll understand Steven has always struggled with his health, his childhood was fraught with visits to hospital. And most recent in the last months."
"What happened?" Brendan spoke urgently, his words faltering.
"I thought ye were family"
"We are...Brendan just cares for Ste, we both do" Cheryl slides her hand around Brendan's arm and squeezes. "Ste doesn't tell us everything Bren, at least he's safe now yeah?"
"I've prescribed some medicine for Steven, but the best cure is rest. He must have plenty fluids and food even if he's off it." The doctor advised passing over the prescription to Cheryl. Brendan blinks himself back in the present and moves away from his sister.
"I'll make sure of that, we both will. Thank ye doctor" Brendan said, he leads the man out of the pub leaving Cheryl to check up on Ste.
He's awake when she goes in, and sits by his side.
"Good news, ye can stay here. Bad news, ye gotta have medicine."
Ste groans with a nod of his head. "Better than hospital. Where's Bren?"
"Just seeing the doctor out. He is so worried about ye...but don't say I told ye so"
"I'm glad because..."
"What is it love?" Cheryl held Ste's hand.
"I just feel better when he's around" Ste sniffs burrowing his face into the pillow needing to cool his skin. Cheryl moves out of the room and returns a moment later with a cold flannel. She folds it against his forehead.
"Thanks Chez, glad when this fever settles." Ste grabs the cloth and places it on his face.
"I'm the same - with our Bren I mean. He's protective especially when he cares about ye"
Cheryl turns around to the light pouring in the room when her brother pushes the door open, he's got a fan in his hands and plugs it in instantly spreading a cool wind around the room. "I'll make some soup, always works that. Keep your strength up"
"Thanks Chez."
Ste was fighting sleep when Brendan sat in the chair next to the bed, lethargic and weak Ste felt he couldn't do anything. Brendan leans on his folded arms and gazes into Ste's eyes. "Like the fan?"
"Hm, perfect ta"
"How's the patient?"
"Feel like crap. The doctor said I have a low immune system. Need plenty of fluids in me" Ste smiles as Brendan pushes closer to him. "Plenty of TLC"
"My bedside manner is impeccable. I give great TLC"
"I'll be the judge of that." Ste husked trying to at least sound sexy, he wasn't sure it came out that way though.
Brendan let out a low chuckle "Stop flirting"
"You gonna go to bed then?"
"Hm, I'll leave ye to it"
"You don't have to. Bren?"
Brendan thinly smiled upon hearing Cheryl move through the room with a tray in her hand. A moments glance at her before his attention was fully on Ste. "Ye need to rest" Brendan said, gently thumbing along the pulse in his wrist.
"But I..." Ste watched Cheryl place the tray down and then leave again. "I don't want you to go"
"Have something to eat and I'll see ye soon."
"Is it cos of Cheryl, I thought you was alright with us?"
Brendan turns to the open door and shouts his sister back into the room again, she comes, quite hesitantly thinking something is wrong. Brendan stares at Ste.
"Something wrong Brendan?" Cheryl asks gazing at them both. She sees her brother dip down and kiss Ste gently on the mouth and move back up again. Her face lights up. "Hey, he must love ye Ste, kissing ye even when ill"
Ste lets out a nasal laugh and shakes his head. Brendan raises his eyebrows before moving to leave. "I just want ye to get better, see ye in the morning"
"Night Bren"
The flu continues for a week before Ste begins to notice any improvement. He'd slept away most of the days but gradually he begins to feel his normal self. Brendan had been helping out in the bar again and he'd not seen much of him. Being ill and cooped up in bed really isn't the greatest way to pass his time and he was missing working the bar too.
As the sun comes in through the curtains, Ste blinks at the bright glow of it and a warmth that felt comfortable and ache free. He yawns deeply like he'd not had any sleep, and stretches enough to crack every joint in his younger body. Ste kicks out his feet under the duvet and there's a lump at the end of the bed. Ste grins thinking it's Brendan and turns to greet him. The person sat there isn't Brendan though, and Ste widens his eyes in shock at seeing who it was.
"Macca? How long have ya been sat there for?" Ste said half leaning up on an elbow, he hadn't heard the door go at all.
"A while. I saw Brendan leave so I came in to check on ye" Macca sniffs, and glares around the bedroom.
"I missed him then - typical. Feeling better finally, so what's the gossip then?" Ste smiles looking up at Macca. His face seems to twist in pain and leaves Ste intrigued. "What's up?"
"What's up" Macca laughs menacingly, head shaking in disbelief. Ste settles back on the bed slightly, tries to open the gap between them. "Must of thought you'd struck gold coming here. Everyone feeling sorry for ye, taking ye off the street and giving ye a home - job"
"I'm grateful to them, yes. Cheryl gave me a chance - there's a difference" Ste said, his confusion evident but the other man wasn't falling for it.
"Fluttered your eyelashes didn't ye? And he is that gullible to fall for it. To fall for ye."
"I have no idea what ya on about. I need to get changed now so...just let yourself out"
"You're a tease"
"I'm a what? I think ya need to leave"
"No. Ye came out with me the other night - ye were all over me! All the while stringing Brendan on, me on. Lording it up thinking ye can have it all"
"You're crazy. I haven't been leading anyone on right. Me and Brendan have just gotten close as the times' gone on. I only went out with you for a laugh, it didn't mean owt"
"Ye kissed me Ste! Right out there in front of him!" Macca yelled angrily. "Chosen to forget that little piece of information?"
Ste held a breath and flicked his eyes up at Macca. "I remember you kissing me yeah, just before throwing your guts up on the kerb."
Macca scoffed then pushing up to his feet to pace the room.
"How would you know Brendan was there, unless you made sure he could see us." Ste angered, he pulls back the duvet and sits out of the bed shaking his head incredulously. "I nearly left him because of you"
"I waited so long for Brendan to look at me the way he does with ye, but he never did." Macca's voice breaks as he speaks and Ste can be heard sighing into his hands.
"I care about Brendan too. More than I've cared about anyone."
"Then leave him alone." Macca said stopping his motion and looking directly at Ste. "Brendan will bounce back, he's fickle that way"
"No, I can't do that. I like him and he likes me - I won't give that up"
"Well, I'm the one he's spent the last few days with down in the bar, while you're up here convalescing. Perhaps he ain't all that into ye after all"
"I think you should go now." Ste got back into bed when Macca left and huddled up beneath the sheets. he wasn't moving from this room now, he'd just stay here in his solace and out of the way.
That evening Ste jumped awake hearing the door click, half asleep and not entirely with it. The bed dipped as someone sat on it and Ste licked his lips nervously not knowing whether it was Macca come back for round two.
"You're awake then?" Brendan spoke with a tired tone as the sound of his shoes being removed against the carpet filled the silence. "Spent hours down in that bar today, I'm shattered"
"Are you?" Ste asked cautiously, he didn't turn around but instead sank his cheek into the pillow. Brendan turned to look at him.
"Are ye alright?" Brendan asked and watched Ste's shoulders shrug. "Steven" Brendan's accent purred his name closing Ste's eyes as if he's just been physically touched.
"Uh huh" Ste sighed, he felt dreadful again although it wasn't the illness this time. "Enjoyed yaself in the bar today then? Spending hours with Macca"
Ste couldn't hide the sharpness to his tone, the drawl of his voice like it had been an effort to say.
"Wouldn't describe it as enjoyment - are ye mad with me because I know that tone Steven. Heard it plenty times"
"Surprised you've noticed my voice with Macca around."
As the warmth of Brendan's breath suddenly brushed against his ear, Ste felt himself swallow. "Stop mentioning Macca - he's what this mood is about huh? Want his company instead of mine now do ye?"
Ste rolled to his side and faced Brendan, they were almost touching and Ste's eyes trailed over him settling squarely on him. "You want his company more like!" Ste faltered on breath, he could hear the noise of his difficulty breathing. "While I've been ill..."
"Tell me you're joking, not now, not now we're getting somewhere. Why do ye always have to talk about him?" Brendan starts to move away, it has Ste hesitating.
"But he told me that..."
"What, what did Macca tell ye? Enlighten me"
"He loves you Brendan!"
"Jesus. I've been working the bar with Macca each day, yes. But all I have thought about is ye getting better and us finally catching a break. Instead I come up here and I get it thrown in my face over him" Brendan closes the door as he leaves the room and Ste is too choked up to stop him.
Ste follows Brendan after a while of hesitation and nerves. The lounge is brightened by the television showing Ste that's where he's ended up. Brendan sits there arms folded tight across his chest and obviously stewing inside. Ste hates he'd caused the feeling in him.
"Where's Chez?" Ste mumbles, eyes drifting down to the floor when Brendan sharply gazes up. Ste can't bring himself to look just yet, feels too bad for earlier.
"Out for the night" Brendan said flatly, looking back at the tv. The light flickered around the room. "Shouldn't ye be in bed resting?"
"No, I'm feeling better. Stronger"
"Great." Brendan sighed heavily and Ste did look this time, watched Brendan getting up to leave the room again.
"Please stay" Ste spoke grabbing Brendan's arm as he passed. "Or let me join you" Ste's lashes fluttered higher to gaze at Brendan.
"Don't need a chaperone to the bathroom thanks" Brendan forcibly removed his arm jolting Ste with it. Ste inhales a quick breath feeling emotional and upset. Ste waited until Brendan had finished and followed him up the corridor.
"God Bren, I'm sorry I yelled at you." Ste sniffed shaking his head.
"I'm sorry too" Brendan turned his head back slightly, his voice sounding shaky "I feel... this is the worst I've felt in ages"
"Me too." Ste grasped at his shoulders and leaned in kissing Brendan's back and pulling his palms down the sides of his arms. "I miss you"
Ste waited for many moments, he watched Brendan eventually walk away and enter his room closing the door. Ste released his held breath harshly retreating to his own, quickly finding a place to hide beneath the duvet again. There hadn't been a long amount of time that had passed before the noise of his door opened and then closed. A light padding of feet across the carpet and dip in the bed. As freezing cold hands traced around his waist Ste almost yelled out, breath caught in his throat.
"Your temperature is getting better then" Brendan grinned into Ste's neck as the hairs of his body prickled.
"Yeah it is, warm ya flamin hands up!"
"Steven, now that's not what ye were saying the other night. Practically begged for my cold hands then"
"I were burning up with a fever!" Ste stuttered pushing back into the warmth every other part of Brendan's body held.
"Ye know, ye owe me a snog mister and these hands are gonna keep roaming unless I get it" Brendan continued to smile at his payback, they'd been in the ice bucket a good while before he'd crept in to Ste's bed.
Ste turned around to firstly shove Brendan, playfully scolding him. It was too dark to see his eyes properly but the relaxed release of warm breath on Ste's face showed how close they were to each other. Ste slowly gulped placing his hands on Brendan's face, thumbs tracing the softness of his beard and moustashe Ste drifts his open mouth against Brendan's lips while the sound of their breathing gets gradually heavier, Ste knows he's driving Brendan crazy but it's a good feeling, to be this turned on by him.
Ste gently cups his lips on Brendan, pulls back with a smile and slightly shaking with nerves. Brendan strokes his hand down Ste's back and it's still icy forcing Ste towards him open mouthed. The advantage is taken up by them both sealing their lips in a hard kiss. Ste melts into it and pushes forward, draws Brendan in curling his hand behind his neck and moaning at the contact. Tongues colliding in passion, Ste kissed Brendan's mouth desperately, biting the flesh before feathering their lips again. He knew Brendan was smiling now, he could feel the shape of it and the breathing that followed seconds later.
"Worth the wait?" Ste breathed a nervous laugh, his heart shook his body so much.
"Meh" Brendan said, laughing as Ste shoved him again with a gasp. "I'm kidding, it was..."
"Don't ya say 'good' Brendan cos it was more than that right - our first proper kiss!"
"Perfect" Brendan kissed Ste. "Sexy"
"Made me hard for ye"
Ste's licked his drying lips and thought about that in detail. "Really?"
"Yeah, we are lying in bed together, you're almost naked and I'm overdressed. Plus your tongue has the right moves"
Ste felt himself burn up again, this time with embarrassment and then he dared to move his hand down Brendan's hip. He was wearing far to many clothes, Ste pulled at them.
"I still want to be with you, an as much as I like ya in this suit, I'd love ya out of it more" Ste giggled as Brendan moved back out of bed and could be heard removing the layers of clothing. Ste continued to feel nervous but Brendan was gentle turning him and pulling his smaller frame into his arms, skin on skin contact raising the goosebumps long his body. Ste stretched his neck back as Brendan pushed his palm gently up the inside of his throat and dragged his fingers back over his Adam's apple. Ste's heart skipped a beat as his body responded in a hot rush of sensations as Brendan kissed along his neck.
"I'm sorry" Ste whispered as Brendan's arms crossed around his waist and held on tightly. Ste brought his own arms around too and sighed contentedly.
"Doesn't matter."
"It does though, I got jealous when Macca told me the truth"
"When did he?"
"Today, this morning. He said he saw ya leave my room" Ste turned his head back a little. "Did you stay all night with me?"
Brendan nodded at the back of Ste and continued to kiss as much of his neck as possible relaxing Ste. "I don't want him Steven. But I do want ye and I have done for a long time. I tried to fight it"
"By arguing with me? Doesn't take a genius to figure that out"
"Good job ye ain't one then"
"Oi!" Ste digs his elbow back.
"Thought about ye all day. I wanna just take my time..." Brendan said, his hands felt down lower at his sides, pulling Ste on top of him they rolled backwards leaving Ste laid out recumbent along Brendan's body. Ste turned his head and drew his nose through Brendan's beard hair, wide mouthed kissed against his neck leaving a trail of warm breath. "While I touch ye"
Ste swallowed deeply, placed his hands on top of Brendan's and guided them along his skin. Pre come leaked from his cock and coloured his boxers darker where it settled, ball sack tightening as it lifted higher, closer to his body. Ste's erection so hard it tented the material.
"Still feeling better, hmm?"
"God, a... lot... better..." Ste strangled his words, Brendan flicking the peaks of his nipples tweaking them and clawing the flesh red. Ste drew out long continuous breaths that warmed the air around them, Brendan's dick pressed into him, underneath him.
"You're big" Ste shifted his body to feel Brendan's shape.
"So are ye, I've seen ye wearing those tight black boxers Steven. Ye wanted me to notice"
"Yes" Ste agreed. "I liked it, you looking"
"Good." Brendan clasped his mouth against Ste's and thrust his tongue into him, deepened the kiss and rode his hand down into the dip of Ste's stomach. Kept his palm there to feel the heave of his breaths and swallowed the moans he produced. Brendan slid his legs between Ste's thighs and drew up to his feet gently teasing the younger boys legs apart. He smiled against Ste's kiss as he took his fingers lower, edging beneath the leg of his boxers towards his smooth perineum.
"What d'ye want?"
"Fuck..." Ste laughs, half with nerves half intoxicated with desire. His boxers are drawn so tight against his erection it's almost painful.
Brendan takes his finger up and down the sensitive skin beneath his ball sack before cupping them inside his hand to gently pull them away from his body. Ste releases another drawn out moan flexing his hips "Do ye want me to stop?"
"Are ya kidding me? No, don't stop." Ste giggles, and ruts himself down on Brendan's hard cock beneath him.
Brendan tickles his fingers up Ste's treasure trail, slides them through his navel higher to round his sensitive pink nubs and angles down behind his ear. "Show me how to touch ye, so I get it right first time"
Ste swallowed "You're getting it right Bren"
"Guide my hands on ye" Brendan whispers into Ste's ear. "Too late to be shy now boy"
Ste takes a hold of Brendan's hand and feeds it down beneath his boxers before he can over think. A sharp inhale of breath leaves him wide mouthed, as Brendan's fingers comb through his dark pubic hairs and touch against his cock.
"Uhgod" Ste breathes. "I don't know if I'm doing this right..."
"You're enjoying this, so it's right" Brendan tells him. Feels the length of his cock.
Ste hums and takes is palm lower. "Brendan. Please"
Brendan's fingers fan out so he can encase against Ste's dick, the younger boy jerks upwards. Ste's hand is still there, gripped tight to Brendan's hand in fear he'll let go. He can feel Brendan's fingers gently stroking his length, stimulating his erection as it bucks and becomes slippery and wet leaking pre come.
Involuntary hip movements leave Ste moaning softly, it keeps him on edge and his breathing steadily paced. Ste rocks himself leading to added friction upon Brendan's groin, Ste laid down along him perfectly the younger boy feels Brendan hard beneath him. As laboured breaths leave Brendan's parted lips, the warmth of it spreads along Ste's neck and ear like a soft whisper.
"I want to touch you too"
"Not yet"
Brendan thumbs inside the slit and spreads the pre come around continuously leaving Ste panting. He tugs harder on Ste's length.
"Can you..." Ste hesitates, but still lowers Brendan's hand over his balls, they heave in his cupped hand as he plays with them willingly. Ste lifts his hips and widens his legs, places Brendan's fingers on his entrance. Brendan groans at the sound of him, rounds his fingers and presses pressure there.
"Open your mouth" Brendan purrs into Ste's ear, placing his fingers to Ste's mouth and pushed inside, long against his tongue until Ste suckled languid over them. Sleek and wet Brendan's hand lead the way, touched against Ste's entrance and circled the wet finger pads, rimmed his puckered hole and pushed pressure there.
"Better, isn't it" Brendan almost growled his words, heightened arousal coursing through them both, Ste tilted his pelvis as Brendan lavished attention upon him.
"Yeah" Ste moaned using his hand to grab his dick. Brendan wraps his other hand around Ste's and follows his movements up and down, tighter on the pull. Ste turns sharply and kisses Brendan, urges flashing like sparks through them both. Brendan grinds himself against Ste needing his own release, slides his wet tongue the area of Ste's pliable mouth and swallows his every cry. They come together as Brendan gains entry inside his tight entrance.
Ste gasps from Brendan's mouth, takes in a deep breath. The sweat has left a sheen against his skin leaving him to shimmer in the low light of the morning. They both look up at it together and then at themselves. Ste pushes Brendan's hand down hard feeding his fingers deeper while his grinds himself through the comedown.
"Brendan... uhgod"
Ste trembles against his mouth and their shared kisses. He shuffles himself around to get a better angle on their kissing that lasts an infinite amount of time. They're hot and sticky, out of breath and smiling throughout.
"What have you done" Ste said, chest heaving, smile never leaving his mouth.
Brendan shifts so Ste can lay on the bed, crowds in closer to him. "Say my name like that again"
"Brendan" .
"Told ye I'd leave ye breathless"
Ste's smile widens as he pulls him down for a kiss.
The next morning Ste had a spring in his step. Brendan wasn't in his room when Ste had woken, but he hadn't expected that just yet. Ste still checked Brendan's bedroom for him but he wasn't there so he moved through into the kitchen for breakfast. He ate some cereal and daydreamed while drinking his coffee, permanent smile on his mouth. It seemed forever before the house stirred and Ste was grateful when Cheryl wandered in and gave him a hug.
"Morning Chez, did ya have a good night out?" Ste asked, he crunched the cereal in his mouth.
"Morning Ste. Had a great time, met up with a few of the girls. Needed it to be honest, I love ye all but miss female company sometimes. I drank quite a lot though" Cheryl groaned as she made herself a strong coffee. Her eyes wandered over to Ste and the glow he seemed to have in his cheeks. "What about ye? Did Brendan go out too?"
"No actually, he stayed in for a change"
"Really? Hmm, something else must have kept his attention then"
"Maybe" Ste said with a smirk, he knew Cheryl had been fishing for the gossip but there's only so much he can tell her. "We spent last night together"
"What?" Cheryl turned to look at Ste, dropping the spoon from her hands and spilling the coffee out of the cup. She cursed mopping it up. "All night?"
"Um, no. Cos he weren't there when I woke up" Ste pushed up from the table and wandered out. Cheryl looked fit to burst, eyes wide and curious.
"STE..." Cheryl popped her head out of the kitchen to watch Ste go and get changed.
"I'm just gonna get changed, do some work in the bar." Ste bit cheekily at his bottom lip, flush flourishing his skin. "See ya later Chez"
Cheryl made an appearance in the bar after a while and stood next to Ste. Her hand held softly onto Ste who laid heavy on his folded arms against the bar.
"What's up? Ye were all happy before"
"I wanted him all to myself ya know?" Ste sighs gazing at the pub doors. "Bren's gone out somewhere"
"He will be back ye know?" Cheryl licked her lips reading the text message she'd just received on her phone. Her warm smile unnoticed by Ste who still had his eyes fixed to the door. "Um... Ste, will ye do me a favour? Ye remember that cafe I go to? I wondered if you'd mind picking me up a few things? I'd go myself but not feeling too good"
"What? Why didn't you say? God I hope ya not coming down with what I had." Ste stands to turn to her, hand resting on Cheryl's arm. "Yeah course I will. Besides I need to get a feel for the place for when I move out"
"Move out? Why would ye want to do that?"
"I told Bren I were leaving, he changed my mind the other night but I dunno if I made the right decision"
"This because he's gone out? I know it might seem like he's abandoned ye but he always goes out on a Wednesday doesn't he?"
Ste looked at the door when it suddenly opened up. Macca stood there with a few bags in his hands, face red and slightly breathless. Ste swallowed awkwardly and folded his arms. Both of them looked at each other and the air became thick. Cheryl paused glancing between them.
"Has something happened here?" Cheryl pointed to them both individually and when neither of them spoke she sighed. "Ye have to work together and that means its gotta be amicable. I have a feeling I know what's going on and it needs resolving okay"
"Nothing wrong at all. Just been at the Cash and Carry." Macca said, he looked at Cheryl and dragged his eyes onto Ste with a smirk. "Brendan took me"
"That's where he's been... but..." Ste released a quick breath licking his dry lips. Ste felt his stomach fall but continued to remain impartial for Cheryl's sake. He smiled half heartily rounding the bar and avoided bumping Macca as he left.
Ste walked up the roads towards the city center and the heat from the sunshine soaked through his clothes warming up his body. It felt good to have the good change of weather, so many times Ste had felt the cold outside and he'd been sick of it. Ste bought the items on the list for Cheryl at the cafe but didn't go back immediately. Instead Ste continued a bit further until a familiar bridge was in his sights. It looked different somehow, perhaps because he hadn't seen it in such a long while, but as Ste continued to walk closer he saw why. The bridge was coloured green, decorations all over the city he'd not noticed until now.
"Top o' the mornin' to ye!" A passerby greeted Ste in a cheerful mood. "Happy St Patrick's day!"
"Thanks..." Ste trailed off his words as the man didn't stop to listen. Ste scoffed with a smile and gazed around at the happiness surrounding him. He instantly felt better caught up in the feeling bustling around the City. Everyone lifted in their mood became a solace for him a he continued further until he could step onto the bridge.
A couple next to him caught his eye, both of them smiling as they fastened a lock to the metal before tossing the key over the side into the water. Ste puzzled watching them turning around as they left cosied up close to each other like the winter months were suddenly back again.
Ste flicked his eyes up and the man who appeared in his sights surprised him. Ste turned back to the river, he knew he was pouting, but he was hurting annoyed at being left behind this morning. Annoyed he'd chosen Macca to go to the Cash and Carry with instead of him.
"They're called love locks. If ye love somebody ye write both your names on a padlock and throw the key into the river. Ye weren't thinking of doing one - were ye?" Brendan's voice made Ste shiver, the sound of it finding its way beneath his skin.
"Don't flatter yourself" Ste spoke defiantly and felt Brendan's presence next to him. They both stood there a good while just looking out on to the river, silence taking over but not becoming awkward because they always felt comfortable just being in one another's company.
"Go on...what did I do" Brendan asked shaking his head, there was a grin on his lips when Ste looked up at him.
"I'm scared I'm gonna lose you to Macca. He still loves ya Brendan, and I can't fight something that strong."
"Oh right. So, giving up just like that?"
"Isn't it easier to chose him, least ya know who he is, where he's come from. Me - I'm an enigma"
"True enough, but I don't love Macca. Ye can't be with someone, when ye want somebody else...can ye?" Brendan answered honestly, sniffed sharply turning to gaze at Ste. His eyes shone bluer when he was happy, something else Brendan had come to notice.
"I guess not, no" Ste smiled then and looked around them. "This looks ace, the bridge, the City - everyone's proper happy"
"It's St Patrick's Day, always like this. It'll be packed tonight in the pub - same every year. Told Chez I'd bring ye to the bridge today, and tonight because it'll be lit up green too"
"What?" Brendan asks as Ste suddenly smiles fondly.
"Well, just thinking. How much I want to kiss you" Ste said with a challenge to his words, he took his time turning to look at Brendan but when he does, the older man met his gaze like they were magnets drawn to each other.
Brendan contemplated Ste a moment, drifting from his eyes to the slight part of his lips and back again. Ste had been quick to move, so much so Brendan barely had chance to register until their mouths had come together. Ste reclaimed Brendan with all that he had, gave him a kiss he'd never forget. Brendan rode his open fingers up the back of Ste's head, they'd felt warm to the touch lifting the strands of his hair. Ste responded gradually moving his hands around Brendan's waist pulling their bodies together, slightly parting his lips to invite Brendan's tongue in. The kiss had been over far too quickly but Ste would remember the roll of Brendan's tongue against his forever. Ste had tasted Brendan's moustashe before they'd parted, the prickle as Ste took everything he needed from the kiss keeping his eyes closed that moment longer.
Brendan licked his lips watching Ste's eyes linger to open, his smile intoxicating.
"What?" Brendan asked captured in his frozen gaze.
"Just kissing you" Ste laughs taken aback by the way his lips tingled with dwindling pressure as they filled with colour once more. "I really enjoy doing it"
"Feeling drunk again?" Brendan asked in amusement, grinned as he gloated.
"About as much as you are" Ste said, his inner thoughts leaving a rose flush against his cheeks. Brendan's thumb was cool against the heat of Ste's skin wanting to touch, he took his palm further and settled his wide hand on Ste's hipbone.
"Sorry I wasn't there when ye woke this morning, had a few errands to run, Cash and Carry. I'm guessing that's why ye were worrying about Macca? I've told him to back off"
"Ya never? He didn't seem like it, seemed to gloat he'd been out with ya"
"Well he's not gonna admit it. He's upset but he can't give me what I want. Not like ye do anyway"
"Cos I excite you" Ste darted his blue eyes with Brendan's. "Like you excite me every time I see ya look at me" Ste pushed up to his tip toes and breathes into Brendan's ear. "I do, don't I?"
"Enough to carry ye back home in my arms and lay ye down on my bed"
Brendan brought their mouths together in a kiss that made them both moan. Ste's arms crossed at the back of Brendan's neck tightly and drew his tongue in deeper. Cupping mouthfuls of tashe and lips inside his mouth and teeth they kissed passionately while the world past them by. They parted breathless but remained close enough to remain desperate for each other.
"So, Chez gave ye the message?" Brendan asked, his hands gripped Ste's waist pulling them closer.
"What message?"
"To meet me here. I told her to somehow get ye to this bridge"
"Oh! The cafe." Ste realised as he backtracked their conversation. "That's why she asked me to get her a few bits from the cafe cos it's near here."
"Ah, my request" Brendan moved back to look inside the bag Ste was carrying. "Cream eclairs? Yep, that's what I asked for"
"You like em? I can make these, choux pastry, whipped cream an melted chocolate"
"Stop talking dirty to me in public, in private is another story" Brendan smiles when Ste nudges him. "Okay, so. Chez told me ye wanted to look around, sightseeing. Normally that wouldn't be my thing - but I'm making an exception because it's ye. Neither of us are working thanks to me being the boss...Steven, I am at your service all day"
"All day though, better pinch myself ey."
"Figured I needed to make it up ye, Cheryl made me realise even I get to be lucky sometimes"
Ste stroked down Brendan's waist and pulled the shirt into his fingers. "Take me for a drink then"
"I have just the place. Then I'm gonna take ye to the pier where ye can watch me eat those eclairs" Brendan winks as he leaves, and just for a moment Ste watches him go. And in those precious moments he starts to forget about the worries of home and how he came to be here. Brendan pauses at the top of the steps and turns to look at him. "C'mon slow coach! Dublin's our oyster"
They visited Grogan's and sat together outside, Brendan bought Ste a pint of Guinness that had tasted so rank he knew the drink would never pass his lips again. Ste had watched Brendan with interest sitting there enjoying spending time together. It had been one of his favourite moments so far and Ste knew he wouldn't want the day to end now.
They sat on the pier side and dangled their legs over as they talked together.
"You've been staying with us a long time, still don't know much about ye" Brendan said still looking out at the sea.
"It's a sad story. Are you still interested?"
Brendan nodded when they'd captured each other looking. "My childhood wasn't like I imagine everyone else's to be like, which is growing up with ya mates, going out for a kick about playing video games, too much tv." Ste smiled with Brendan, he didn't think he'd have done that either. "All I've known is arguments and pain. I was out a lot growing up, broke the law more times than I care to remember"
"Joy riding" Brendan replied nodding his head. "To look at ye, that surprises me."
"You don't think I could be bad?"
"I know how bad ye can be boy" Brendan said, his wicked face making Ste blush. "I just mean, takes a lot of nerve to do that. Didn't ye worry about getting caught?"
"I did. I got better treatment with the cops - they knew me and my step dad. He made me break the law a lot, I stole beer for him, and got a belt if I refused. Don't pity me Bren, that's worse than anything else"
"Hey, ye want me to be fine about it? Someone hurting ye? He better never cross my path Steven I swear" Brendan grit his teeth and sighed out his anger. "Least you're here now, despite how ye went about it. Reckon you've a guardian angel sometimes"
"Think I have now" Ste swallowed the lump in his throat as Brendan stares at him. "Remember in school when they asked what you wanted to be when you grew up?"
"When I attended? Yeah I recall. Superman" Brendan admits with a smile, "Least when I was younger."
"Happy" Ste replied, the sadness etched into the word had him gulp. "For someone to love me"
Ste gazed at Brendan fondly and wondered if from this moment on wards he'd always be there. Ste couldn't seem to see past that looking back out at the horizon.
"Penny for your thoughts" Ste murmured, the sea was so calm with hardly any wind but the occasional breeze had been warm and comforting on his face.
"I'm thinking how good this feels, sitting here. I'm thinking how far I could skim a rock out there into the sea." Brendan chuckles to himself. "I'm thinking...I hope I gave ye enough of a reason to stay"
Ste rested his hands behind himself to lean back on them. "You don't think you are, do ya?"
"Not the easiest man to get along with am I?"
"No"
Brendan turned sharply to look at Ste then making the younger boy laugh. Brendan was caught up in it too "I oughta' put ye over my knee for that"
"When we get back"
Brendan beamed. "Where else d'ye want to go?"
"Anywhere as long as I'm with you"
"There's a Guinness factory, Jameson's whisky one. Could ply ye with boose"
"Drunken fumble back at the pub if we do then, I'm dying to put your shirt on again"
"I'm dying to get it off ye"
"Not right away though ey?"
Ste quickly turned to meet Brendan's eyes and bumps himself closer to him. "I told Cheryl I felt I'd know her years when we first met, cause we'd gotten along so well. With us, we just bickered or riled each other up. Then we have times like this too and I when I think about never having met you, it doesn't feel right." Ste flops his head down on Brendan's shoulder. "I'm staying for you"
"How about ye stay for us?"
Ste sighs contentedly as Brendan's arm snakes around his shoulder and pulls them together. He thinks they'll stay like this a while before they both try and skim stones in the water and he'll win because shoving Brendan in the shoulder at the moment he throws his will make it splash instead.
Ste closes his eyes and tugs Brendan's top into his hand.
The pub is on last orders when they arrive back and Ste can't help but rush around the bar to help Cheryl with the last of the customers. Brendan props himself at the end of the bar and watches Ste smile and serve the customers like he'd done the job all his life. Brendan could get used to this, seeing him there, the place couldn't ever be the same if he'd left him. Brendan felt his stomach lurch at the thought he'd miss everything without Ste.
"Hey love. It's been manic here without ye both, but looks like it was the right thing to do. I take ye both want the same things?" Cheryl's smile brought a warmth with it, she leaned down on the bar and then they both watched Ste together. Eventually Ste glanced up and noticed, his smile instant for Brendan. "Oh look at that smile, just for ye Bren"
"Leave it Chez"
"Awww all embarrassed." Cheryl gripped Brendan's cheeks in her fingers. "So cute!"
"Chez! Pack it in will ye? Steven is staying in Ireland, he told me"
"Brendan, that's wonderful news! It's because of ye he is, I can see it every time that wee lad looks at ye. Don't ye go breaking his heart"
"I won't, at least I'll try not too." Brendan continued to keep Ste's eyes fixed with his.
Cheryl hugged him tightly squeezing the last bit of air she could out of him. He had to laugh at the way she always did this when emotional.
"What's goin' on here then?" Ste broke them apart with his curiosity.
"I were just tellin' Chez the good news - that you're moving in permanently"
"I am, am I?" Ste widens his mouth feigning shock.
Brendan jumps down off his bar stool and Ste follows him through to the cellar. Ste leans up against the wall and folds his arms. "Moving in? Thought I already lived here?"
"Ye know what I mean"
Ste's arms loosen the nearer Brendan gets, waits until he can hook his arms up around his neck. "Can't believe the day's almost over now. Goes too quick"
"How about I work the bar with ye tomorrow? Just me and thee, I'll give Macca the day off"
"I'd love that. See you do a day's work" Ste giggled when Brendan's hands tickled his ribs. They continued down his jacket and curled beneath the material to brush the warm of his skin. Ste let out a fleeting hum slotting his head underneath Brendan's neck leaving Brendan to push further and roam more inches of his skin. "Looking forward to tomorrow now"
"Good"
"I don't want to end the day yet" Ste tickles his fingers at the back of Brendan's neck.
"It doesn't have too" Brendan agreed nuzzling into Ste's hair, he could feel the goosebumps spreading Ste's skin wherever he roamed his hands, completely sensitive to his touch. "I have a place we can go, I haven't shown it to ye yet"
"Going out again?"
"Not exactly"
Ste gazed at Brendan silently, their eyes darting with complete empathy. "Tell me Bren"
Brendan buries his knee between Ste's thighs and pushes closer, smoothed over the curves of his body as his breathing intensifies. Ste feels his heart rate notch up changing his own breaths as he brings his hands down Brendan's stomach and cups his palm at the hard lump in his jeans.
"I know what you want" Ste breathed into Brendan's neck, his lips feathering touches along the skin.
"Do ye?"
"Of course I do. My body reacts with yours" Ste grabs Brendan's hand and presses it down on his covered erection.
"Meet me somewhere, wear my shirt"
"Okay" Ste nibbles down on his bottom lip. "Where?"
"Chez will tell ye"
When Ste went to his room to change, Brendan's shirt still laid over the chair by the bed. It even smelt of him again as Brendan had sat in the chair a lot while Ste recovered. Ste smiled to himself putting it on and left his bedroom. The kitchen was empty, Ste quenched his thirst with a tall glass of water gulping it down and feeling the chill of it trickle into his stomach. He sat patiently until Cheryl walked past and has Ste jumping up to his feet.
"Chez?"
"Hey love. Thought you'd be with our Bren. Ye alright?"
"Right well, that's where you come in. Brendan said you'd tell me where he was" Ste explained, eyes flicking up sheepishly. "He said it was a place he hadn't showed me yet?"
"Hmm, here? Well there's only one place that could be" Cheryl said, she wandered off towards the kitchen leaving Ste confused.
"Um...can ya tell me then - cos he's apparently waiting there for me"
"On the roof" Cheryl busied herself with the brew she made. Her eyes strayed onto Ste who had now settled by her side.
"On the roof...?" Ste spoke slowly, his mind processing the word 'roof'. That meant outside, in public. Ste nibbled the inside of his mouth nervously. "That's outside init?"
"Generally they are outside Ste, yup" Cheryl nodded certain. She paused making her drink when Ste hadn't moved and looked at her like an alien had landed. "What... has he never showed ye the roof?"
"Chez! Oh my god, do I look like I know?" Ste huffs a little, he's pretty desperate to find Brendan now.
"Ohh, can't believe it. We've an open plan roof, through a skylight. We used to hide up there as kids, great place to think. He goes up there when things are on his mind"
"We kinda both have somet on our minds. Can you show me this roof thingy? Please?"
"Sure love, come on." Cheryl leads Ste to a door and behind it is a small wooden staircase she begins to ascend the steps but stops to look Ste over. "I think ye should put a coat on"
"Why? Can people see?" That's all he needs, people out there. Maybe this was a kink of Brendan's, Ste hadn't realised he was smiling until Cheryl suddenly pointed it out.
Cheryl smirked and swallowed inhaling a breath. "No... but ye might be cold"
"I doubt it." Ste spoke without thought, but still found Cheryl's knowing gaze. "I just mean it's warmer out init?"
"Stop, I don't want to know anymore. Let's go find lover boy"
"Cheryl...shush!"
Cheryl laughs as she opened the skylight in an old looking attic space and Ste found himself on the roof of the pub. On an actual roof. Cheryl hadn't made it up. His mouth loosened as he gawped around at the rooftops of Dublin and how far he could see. The evening drawing to a close the sunset could be seen in the distance and the moon and stars as they came out for the night closing in. Ste looked at Cheryl and open mouthed smiled at the setting he would never be bored of.
"Woah..."
"Uh huh" Cheryl agreed moving on.
Ste followed her a little more and as he did looked around at the chimney tops, the glow from the streetlights now below him in a weird twist from normality. Brendan was stood looking out, hands slipped inside of his pockets the remainder of the sunlight casting a bright orange aura around his body. Ste briefly smiled and pulled gently at her arm.
He darted his head back silently asking her to leave them. She kissed his cheek and went back into the pub. Ste took a quiet deep breath and walked to stand by Brendan's side. The older man looked at Ste but didn't say anything. They stood this way until the sunset darkened into the lateness of the evening blanketing the sky in an inky blue black.
"As if ya kept this quiet. Didn't ya think I'd want to see this?"
"It only occurred to me tonight, it's a nice view, setting. I thought you'd think it was..." Brendan shook his head dismissively, his voice was deep and low, comforting.
"I do think that. It's thoughtful actually" Ste brought his arms up around his waist.
"Are ye cold?"
"A little – but that's my own fault." Ste watched Brendan remove his suit jacket and hang it over his shoulders. His fingers gripped the material and pulled it down over him. "Thanks. Just need ya pants and I'll have a complete set"
Brendan scoffed at the side of him. "Ye just want me out of my trousers"
"Yes I do" Ste nodded, his body reacting to Brendan's sultry smile and eyes trailing over him. "I want this"
"Really?"
"Wouldn't be stood here otherwise."
Brendan links Ste's hand and walks over to a perfectly placed chair he sits down in it slapping his lap encouragingly, eyebrow raised. "Ye know...no one can see up here"
"What about a plane flyin' over?" Ste nibbled at his bottom lip, breath shaky leaving his mouth.
"Unless it's coming in to land then no – thousands of feet up there, they ain't seeing owt"
Ste placed a hand on each of his shoulders and fixed their eyes, he lowers slowly and connects their lips softly, leg lifting to straddle Brendan's lap, the kiss deepens at the moment he's shifted closer, a swift drag as Brendan's hands curve around his waist. Ste releases a breathy moan and crosses his arms around him.
"Hmm, I waited far too long to kiss you" Ste husked, placing his tongue deep inside Brendan's mouth he rolls his hips and created a noise from Brendan that made his stomach jolt.
Brendan's hands lift up the hem of the shirt Ste wears, fingers delicate along Ste's bare bum. Brendan moves back to look at him. "Steven, you're naked under my shirt" Brendan states the obvious, looks around them even though he knows no one is there.
"Well, I did say the next time I wore this, I would be"
"Brazen..." Brendan growls pulling Ste closer, helps the friction between them, his hardness tightening his trousers against his skin.
"You love it"
"Certainly got my attention boy"
"Good cos I can't stop thinking about you" Ste puts his hand between them and pulls at Brendan's belt buckle, yanks it open thumbs open the button and slowly drags the zipper down. Their eyes haven't stopped looking, fixed on each other completely.
"I wanna ride you"
"Jesus" Brendan swallows, and thumbs against Ste's mouth, bites gently against the soft flesh. "I want that too"
"What a stroke of luck that is then" Ste grinned animatedly and produced a condom packet.
"Where did ye keep that?"
"Not tellin ya." Ste tears it open, rolls down the latex down his hard cock and tugs on it.
"Did ye remember to bring some lube as well?"
"Ah..." Ste tuts. "I forgot"
"Lucky I did then" Brendan laughs heartily at Ste's face.
"An ya call me brazen"
"Look over there Steven, can ye see it?" Brendan points out in the distance at the side of them so Ste will turn to look. " The green light, it's the bridge we stood on earlier"
Ste gazes at it and smiles. "That's so cool. It's brilliant this, glad ya showed me"
"Are ye ready?" Brendan asks, his fingers slipping in and out of Ste's hole methodically, curling in the right places and leaving Ste fucking himself snapping his hips faster the more aroused he gets. He's lost in it, the heat of their bodies this close, the kiss of Brendan's desire. He's very nearly tipped over the edge a few times but Brendan could read it, slowed down and kissed him like there was infinite time here.
Ste opened his eyes and took a breath like he'd held it centuries, left him dizzy and intoxicated. Ste waits for Brendan to remove his wet fingers and sinks himself down Brendan's length, it pushes inside him quickly breaking the barrier leaving Ste jolting his head back. Brendan's cock is big and thick sliding higher as his walls contract at the intrusion again and again. Brendan's vocal, right up against Ste's ear stuttering in pleasure as Ste's entrance grabs on and pulls his length in. Ste pants like crazy, and rests his head against Brendan, eyes screwed shut trying to adjust himself to the fullness and incredible feeling it is to be so connected.
His eyes open then and he cant help but be excited seeing Brendan's gorgeous blue eyes on him, he looks overwhelmed, aroused and starved for him. Ste kisses his lips, it's brief but he doesn't move his mouth. He leaves it open and edges his tongue out, enough so the tip wets Brendan's bottom lip. Eyes darting he moves up slowly and the immense pleasure has his dick pooling pre come, bucking against Brendan's stomach and the soft of his treasure trail.
"Uh, god... Brendan..." Ste sighs his name. He's barely able to breathe without saying it, telling him in someway what this is doing to him, how it makes him feel. Brendan's hands are warm against the sheen of his skin, sweat sleeked and glowing over every inch. Hands that hold on strongly and move his body down as he angles up in to him higher, deeper and hitting that sweet spot every time.
"You're incredible" Brendan hushes, laying a long heavy tongued kiss against Ste's mouth. His body hasn't stopped moving, feeding his dick into Ste and trembling with it. It's only when a slight breeze brushes against his cheek that Brendan remembers where they are, outside high above the bustling City below. His eyes trail up to the stars, and the moon shining down on them and the colour it leaves Ste's skin basked in. He looks heaven sent, and so beautiful and Brendan has never thought that about anyone else in his life. They fuck slowly and take their time, Brendan stopping them to kiss Ste and rutt against him just to hear his unbreakable moans.
Ste grins and gasps and laughs, feeling so high on Brendan, so tempted to move faster. So he does, begins to bounce his body and ride Brendan harder. Their noise becomes loud and movement uncoordinated and Ste he can feel his orgasm creeping up through his body. Goosebumps tingle every inch of his skin, hardening his nipples as Brendan thumbs against them dragging the shirt off Ste's shoulder with his teeth and sucks hard at the side of his neck.
"Come for me" Brendan purrs into his ear wrapping his palm around Ste's dick milking his climax in ribbons. Ste clenches down fast and Brendan grunts shooting his load into the condom, into Ste. They're frantic as they kiss one another, Ste continuing to ride his cock until it's soft and spent in him.
"God... that were" Ste nudges his nose against Brendan's "Amazing"
"Yes it was." Brendan agrees, his breathing still struggling to cope with his body twitches. He lifts Ste off him, but settles him back on his lap. "You're definitely not leaving now"
"Ha, was I that good?"
"Yeah, but I didn't mean that. I mean this Steven. I can't stop this"
"Me either." Ste moves down into Brendan's chest and closes his eyes as he wraps his arms around him the tightest he's ever been held in his life.
