I'm everything I am
because you loved me
- 'Because You Love Me' by Celine Dion
ABCs of Love
Quiet
Q is for Quiet
Tim leaned against the window while he stared into the lab.
Eric was leaning against a table.
Tim studied him, memorizing every little aspect of him. How his fingers thumbed through the papers before him; how, when he reads, he puts a finger to his lips as he gently taps against them. How when he's frustrated, he would scowl or how he would pinch his eyebrows when he was doubtful. How his eyebrows went up when he was excited or how he would pouch his lips out in deep concentration.
Watching Eric was enthralling.
Quietly, he entered, Eric not noticing him. He went behind and captured Eric within his arms. Surprised, Eric squirmed quietly until he managed to recognize him – "Ah, Tim!"
"Shh…" Tim whispered, "No talking." And Eric tried not to make a sound as Tim kissed his neck and worked one calloused hand under his shirt, "…just feel."
FIN.
