Surprise

Shounen ai...what else...oh yeah! Fluff! And angst, oh the angst! Heehee, feel the HavocFuery goodness!

-passes out dog-shaped cookies and chocolate cigars-

Enjoy!

Fuery has been talking to him for a while now but he hasn't heard a thing. Maybe it's because he got so little sleep last night that he can't seem to string two thoughts together. Or maybe it's because he hasn't had a cigarette yet this morning.

Or, possibly it's because of the emotions, the unvoiced need and ache in his heart that are rising up and choking him.

Normally, he's better at dealing with this…with holding his feelings in check. But he's been keeping his distance for so long…and something has him in a particularly reckless state of mind.

It could be because he tried to light a cigarette so he could take his mind off a certain Communications officer and Hawkeye shot the thing right out of his hands. Goddamn First Lieutenant.

Or it could be the way Fuery has been prattling on about some new animal he's adopted. He's absolutely adorable when he grins like that.

Suddenly, without warning, Havoc leans forward and kisses Fuery. There's nothing rough or forceful about it, his lips against Cain's are gentle, almost chaste.

When he pulls away, Cain Fuery is looking at him in a dazed, confused sort of way. As the silence stretches, Jean feels the unreasonable need to do something, anything, say something just to break the terrible pause. But he can't.

"…Second Lieutenant…?"

Havoc turns away. Cain's voice is somewhat distant, almost embarrassed. He doesn't know how the stinging rejection tightens Jean's chest and throat, cutting off his air.

"…I, ah…C- Sergeant Major Fuery, I –" he takes a step away, just wanting to be anywhere but here, wishing he hadn't done anything...wondering how he always screws up like this…

…and freezes, as two shy arms encircle him in an embrace.

"…you surprised me, Jean," whispers a small, soft voice into his neck.

And this time, when he turns around again, it's Cain who stretches up and kisses him.
