Carl: Reprise

"You sure you wanna do this?"

"I'm ready." Tay and Carl sat facing each other, eyes locked, knees touching. A loud smack echoed through the room. "Fuck!" another smack. "Babe!"

"Gotta be quicker than that." Another smack.

"I thought I'd be able to beat you."

"I am unbeaten at the game of slaps. You've been trying for a while now and still aren't close."

"Well I didn't get to see you for a few months, I thought I'd gotten better once I had beaten everyone at the academy."

"You have improved…but it isn't enough to defeat the master." Tay made a few kung-fu noises before the two fell into a fit of laughter.

Carl looked down shyly before meeting Tay's eyes again. "Missed you."

"I know you did."

"Asshole." Carl playfully shoved him before pecking him on the cheek.

The summer had come and gone. It was winter now and Carl was home until mid-January. Tay only had a couple of days left before he was on break. Normally he'd be done by now, but his AP classes were still doing testing. He'd been at the Gallagher house almost everyday since Carl got back. He missed him a lot since he'd left to start a new semester at the academy. Skype calls and phone sex could only do so much, having the real thing in front of him was better by a landslide, there was no question of that. Tay nearly knocked him over the moment he caught sight of him. Carl had picked him up and spun him a few times before being peppered with kisses.

Now here they were, playing stupid games on Carl's bed while the rest of the Gallagher clan did whatever it was that they did. "What do you wanna do now?" Tay asked.

"We could go set off firecrackers in Ms. Jensen's chimney."

"That poor woman is going to have a heart attack…I'm in." The pair had just made it downstairs when they saw Fiona, Liam, and Lip headed for the door.

"Where are you guys going?" Debbie asked us to come help her get the place ready for a DCS visit." Fiona said as she shrugged her coat on before turning to make sure Liam was bundled up.

"Does she need us too- ow! What was t-"

Tay had sharply elbowed Carl on the ribs before clinging to his arms. "Okay, we were just curious. If you guys need anything let us know."

"Will do."

"It shouldn't be that bad, she just needs help cleaning up and making sure the house is baby-proofed." Lip said as he placed his scarf around his shoulders.

"We'll see you two later."

"See ya." Tay replied through a smile. Soon the door was shut, leaving the pair in the house alone.

"Why the hell did you elbow me?"

"We have the house to ourselves." Tay said as he backed the slightly taller boy towards the wall. "We haven't had alone time in a while. Right?"

Carl swallowed roughly. "Right…"

"And who knows when we could have a chance like this again."

"Uh-hu." Carl was pushed flush against the wall in the kitchen, mouth hanging open as he peered down at Tay's sultry smirk.

"So, what you're gonna do is take my hand, lead me upstairs, strip down, and let me bend you over your bed before I rail you better than I ever have."

"Uh-hu." Tay took Carl's had before leading him up the stairs and into the boy's room then pressing him onto his bed. "I like how long your hair has gotten."

Tay brushed his bangs behind his ears as he peered down at his boyfriend. "You always told me how much you liked long hair." Once he'd heard that Carl thought long hair was attractive, he hardened his resolve to grow his hair out. It had just reached the area between the base of his neck and shoulder blades when Carl came home.

"It looks good on you." Carl said as he gently passed his fingers through the slightly curly strands. "Did you straighten it?"

"Yea. It looks longer that way." He pressed a few kissed to Carl's neck, before pulling off his shirt. Tay paused to admire what the academy had done to Carl's body, appreciating the muscle definition that came with his training.

"See something you like?"

"You bet I do. I like this." He placed a kiss on Carl's lips. "This." A kiss on his chest. "For sure this." A kiss on his abs. "And most of all…" He palmed Carl's erection, eliciting a groan from the boy beneath him.

"I want you." Carl murmured.

"Beg for it."

"I don't beg." Tay palmed Carl's bulge while kissing his neck. "Please?" Carl pleaded,

"Your tune sure changed quickly." Tay smirked triumphantly as he set to the task of undoing Carl's belt. Soon, his pants joined his shirt on the floor.

Tay just about had Carl's dick in his mouth when Carl spoke up. "W-wait. I want to savor this, so can we go a bit slower?"

Tay nodded before wetting his lips and slowly starting to work Carl's head and shaft. He kept his pace slow, drawing out their foreplay and taking great pleasure in feeling his boyfriend writhe beneath him. Carl moaned relentlessly into the air, with every methodical lick, every bit of suction, and every pass of Tay's had over his skin, he felt his body react in various ways.

Carl tentatively threaded his fingers through Tay's silky hair, watching as it fell over his shoulder. His mind was fuzzy from the bolts of pleasure racing through his body, however, he was still aware of his boyfriend's needs. He gently tapped his shoulder and as soon as he looked up, Carl drew him upwards until their lips met. After a moment of slow, methodical kissing, Carl flipped Tay onto his back, taking up the space between his legs.

"My turn." He purred sensually.

Tay's clothes were tossed on the floor in a messy pile. A mess of wavy chestnut locks were between Tay's legs. Tay's low, guttural moans clamored out of his mouth and into every crevice in the room. Carl took his time, slowly bobbing his head up and down as Tay drew his leg closer to his body. Carl hooked his arms around Tay's raised leg, taking all of his length into his throat as his hands firmly gripped Tay's thighs. A breath was caught in the shorter boy's throat, his hand gently pushed Carl's head down as slender fingers tousled already messy hair.

"Fuck. You've gotten better at this."

Tay's leg slowly came to rest on Carl's shoulder just before he looked up, Tay's dick still in his mouth. Carl's eyes met his and they conveyed a simple message, 'I want you.' Tay's heart nearly leapt out of his chest, he gestured for Carl to come to him then watched as the taller boy climbed up his body until they were face to face. Carl's slightly swollen lips beckoned for Tay's. However, Tay had tired of foreplay.

"Lube." Tay commanded in a low husky tone. Carl handed Tay the small bottle that was stashed between the wall and the bed, watching as he slicked his fingers with the clear substance. "Bend over."

Carl let his boyfriend stand up before doing as he was asked, bending over the bed and relaxing as best he could. He was still new to bottoming, but with Tay's guidance and patience, he was getting used to it. Carl felt slicked fingers press against his hole, gently prodding until the slender digits slid inside. Tay was impressed, Carl was taking two fingers more easily than he had been before.

After more prepping, Carl was ready. Tay positioned himself behind Carl and after gaining his permission, pressed inside Carl. It was painful at first, even after being prepped, but Tay was gentle and patient. He allowed Carl to get used to his size before he began moving, he even added more lube.

"You can start moving now, just take it slow."

Tay did as he was asked, starting with slow, deep thrusts, then picking a pace that allowed him to draw out this long overdue act of intimacy. Tay's firm hands traced over pale skin, leaving bolts of pleasure that raced towards Carl's nerve endings in their wake. After a few more probing thrusts, Tay finally found Carl's prostate and slowly amped up the pressure he was putting on it. Carl's moans were music to his ears; what had once been mildly pain filled grunts, turned into lust filled pants and whines for more.

"Flip me over."

Carl was soon on his back, Tay still taking up the space between his legs. Pale blue eyes peered up into deep brown ones as the rhythmic thrusting of Carl's lover became faster. Honey brown skin encircled Carl's length, stroking it in time with evenly paced thrusts, forcing obscenities and moans from deep inside the boy.

Carl was being bathed in pure ecstasy. His pulse was racing, heart thudding heavily in his chest, and waves of pleasure were frequently washing over his boy. His eyes fluttered closed as his head rolled to the side, exposing the bruising skin on his neck. Tay leaned forward, placing more kisses against his lover's neck.

Toned arms reached up, ensnaring their prey and drawing it closer with each well-placed peck. Carl knew that in his current state he wouldn't last much longer. That's when a firm hand encircled Carl's length, stroking it in time with rhythmic thrusting. Carl couldn't help but be amazed that Tay was managing to do 3 tasks at once, let alone do them well. He was at his limit, on the precipice of orgasm and there was no slowing down. Groan after groan slipped from his mouth until he finally went silent, feeling his muscles tense as his orgasm left his body awash with pleasure.

Tay reveled in the control he had over Carl in this moment; with each slow thrust, he sent more bolts of pleasure ripping through his boyfriend. He grinned wryly against Carl's stained neck as he listened to the strangled gasps and faint swears that bubbled up from Carl's throat. His hand was coated in warm cum, as were his lower abdominals. He licked his lips. Carl raked his nails down Tay's back before they came back to his sides.

"I can't believe I've waited so long for that. Fuck."

"I still haven't cum." Tay said in a low, throaty voice.

Carl tensed for an instant before Tay slowly pushed further into him. Their eyes met, however Carl's pale blue hues flicked to Tay's carnal grin just as his thrusts picked up in speed and intensity. Carl could only lie back and let his overly sensitive body be used until the person between his hips climaxed. Fortunately, Tay's orgasm wasn't far off. He pulled out of Carl and added to the cum on Carl's midsection. He panted heavily before placing a few slow kisses on Carl's lips.

After cleaning up, the pair laid side by side, basking in their post-coitus afterglow, holding hands, and staring at the ceiling. Tay was rambling about how much he'd missed Carl while Carl laid quietly beside him, occasionally chiming in but sitting still for the most part. Tay couldn't help but glance over at him every few seconds, enjoying the look of a disheveled Carl Gallagher. Said Gallagher was also stealing glances and relishing his decision to make things between them official.

"Hey Carl?"

"Yea?"

"I like you…a lot."

"Gay." Tay firmly punched him in the arm before the two fell into a fit of laughter.

"Asshole."

"Yea, I've got one of those. You were just poking around inside it."

"Well…maybe next time, you can poke around inside mine. I know you like topping more."

"Eh, bottoming isn't so bad."

"When it's done right."

"I'll give you that."

Tay smoothed his thumb over the back of Carl's hand as he started to relax again, but that's when he noticed that Carl's body had other ideas. The tent forming further down the bed betrayed the calm atmosphere, attempting to reignite what had occurred a short time ago.

"Sorry." Carl said.

"I'm not." Tay sat up, quickly tying his hair up, and tossing the covers to the side.

"Round two?"

"You know it."
