After – Effects Chapter 6

As always, keep the reviews coming in.

Disclaimer: I do not own Mutant X, Brennan may be mine one day, but unfortunately, that's not today. I make no profit from this story or any others I write.

Brennan woke up in the morning, feeling strange, he was warm, and comfortable…then he remembered that he was back at Sanctuary; Jesse had come to rescue him. Brennan tried to turn round but found it difficult as there was someone's arm wrapped around him, he looked round and saw Jesse, still asleep, Brennan instantly decided that Jesse was perhaps the sexiest man he had ever come across, he was absolutely perfect, his body was as warm as it was toned and muscular, he was the perfect size for hugging as well. Brennan reached over quietly so as to not wake up Jesse and ever so gently brushed his lips against Jesse's, his mouth exploded with pleasure, Jesse wasn't even kissing back and it was still the best kiss Brennan had ever had. Brennan decided to stop, he was pretty sure that Jesse was straight and if he woke up, there could be problems, and Brennan would rather just drool from a distance than risk loosing his friendship with Jesse. Brennan turned around to check the clock on his bedside table, it was 0630, Brennan decided that he needed a couple of hours more sleep, and a couple of more hours with Jesse in bed next to him, and with that, Brennan closed his eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Shalimar walked past Brennan's bedroom and decided to check on the big guy, he had been pretty messed up when Jesse brought him backed, she opened the door just a little bit and peered in and she saw Brennan sleeping with Jesse's arm wrapped around him, Jesse was also sound asleep. Shalimar decided to leave them to sleep and went to collect her $20 of off Emma, they had placed a bet to see if Jesse and Brennan would ever sleep together, Emma had said it wouldn't happen, but even if it wasn't anything to do with sex, they were so sleeping together.

Jesse woke with a start, he had just woken up from a terrible nightmare, he was seeing Brennan being tortured by the GSA but Jesse couldn't move, no matter what he did, he couldn't stop time or blow the agents away, he was totally helpless. Jesse took a couple of seconds to get his bearings in reality, and he realised that one of his biggest dreams had come true, he was in bed with Brennan, he looked at the large elemental, wondering if his largeness was the same certain areas of his body. Jesse lay back down and contented his self by stroking Brennan's hair, He felt a pang of pain in his heart, he loved Brennan with all he had, but he was sure that Brennan was straight and could never love him back, he might care for him like a brother, but that isn't the kind of love Jesse was looking for.

Adam called for Brennan at 1140 to go for a check-up in the Med Bay, so Jesse went for something to eat, and then sorted out Brennan's room for him so he could go straight back to bed, but unfortunately, Adam had other plans.

"Jesse, I want you, Shalimar and Emma to take Brennan out, go to a restaurant and see a movie or something, Look at it as a celebration for getting Brennan back from the GSA, I have to attend a conference on human evolution in Sicily so I wont be able to go, have fun". Brennan looked very happy with this plan and the others shared his enthusiasm and got ready to go out. Jesse thought that Brennan looked particularly delicious when he saw him, he was wearing casual jeans that fitted perfectly in all the right places, and a tight fitting Blue shirt that showed off his muscular build.

"He is fucking hot!" Jesse thought to himself, and he felt a stir in his boxers. Brennan eyed up Jesse, he looked hot in a pair of dark blue jeans and a silky grey shirt that seemed like it was ready to flow off him.

"I so need to get him back in bed tonight," Brennan thought to himself while trying to look at something else, but thankfully the girls walked in talking quietly, discussing who would ask who out, Shalimar thought that Jesse would ask Brennan out but Emma was convinced that it was the other way around, they put $40 as a bet before they got into the car.

It had been agreed that they would go out for something to eat and then see a film at the megaplex. The meal went through without any incident except when the waiter dropped the soufflé and Jesse froze the room on impulse and picked up the soufflé quickly and unfroze the room, to the casual eye it looked like the waiter had dropped the dessert and Jesse caught it with both hands. The rest of the meal passed without happily and they chatted about casual things like what movie they were going to see. When they got to the cinema, they decided to see a horror film, which Brennan had wanted to see months before it had come to the cinemas. They got their food and went for the back row seats, they sat down and the film began shortly afterwards.

The movie was fine but Brennan regretted going to see it, he usually enjoyed horror films but he jumped every time something happened, at one point something jumped out at one of the main characters and Brennan grabbed Jesse's hand. Jesse turned to look at Brennan and saw the fear in his eyes, he leaned over and whispered.

"Brennan are you okay, do you want to go home?" Brennan nodded his head and Jesse leant over to Shalimar and Emma.

"Guys, Brennan is freaked out, he wants to go home, I'll take him, you guys enjoy the film and I'll see you later," they both looked concerned but nodded and said goodbye to Brennan and Jesse, Brennan didn't let go of Jesse until they were outside the Megaplex and heading towards one of the cars, Shalimar had insisted on her and Emma getting a car to themselves, they said they had "girl stuff" to talk about, so Brennan and Jesse had spent the trip speculating what it was that they had been discussing. The trip back was much more subdued and quiet, Brennan looked upset that he couldn't watch a horror movie without having to leave halfway through and Jesse was worried that it could have something to do with Brennan's stay at Genomex.

They made it back to Sanctuary without saying a word and Brennan headed off to the kitchen for some coffee, Jesse followed him. He walked into the kitchen and saw Brennan making coffee.

"Hey man, are you okay, you were pretty shaken up?" Jesse asked.

"Em, yeah, I'm fine Jesse, I guess I'm just a little jumpy from staying at Genomex, that's all," Brennan gave a quick smile at continued making two cups of coffee, one plain an one with plenty milk and plenty sugar, he had watched Jesse so much that he knew how he drank his coffee every morning. They drank their coffee in silence and Brennan asked.

"Jesse, do you think that you could stay in my room again, I'm not sure if I'm ready to be alone yet?" as much as Brennan enjoyed sleeping with Jesse, he was asking because he truly doubted that he could sleep alone.

"Sure, of course I'll stay with you," said Jesse.

"Thanks man, I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything, its just the thought of being alone right now is almost frightening".

"It's not a problem Brennan, come on, I think you need some sleep". With a grin, Brennan headed towards his bedroom, and Jesse happily followed. They went into Brennan's room and after stripping to their boxers, got into the bed, Brennan turned around to face Jesse and just looked, Jesse stared back, and in that moment, a connection formed between them. Brennan leaned forward, as did Jesse, and their lips met in a haze of passion. Brennan's tongue probed Jesse's teeth, seeking entrance and Jesse gladly opened up to the visitor, and the battle of the tongues commenced. At some point or another, Brennan had moved so that he was on top of Jesse and he broke their kiss to ask,

"Jesse, will you go out with me?" Jesses answer was to pull Brennan in to kiss again, and this time, it was hotter and sweeter than anything else.

Well there you go readers, If you put this story up to 18 reviews, I'll write chapter seven, I may have to up the rating for future content though.
