Again,this chapter's ending is a bit smutty, so a strong M warning.

Chapter 9

Ste woke up at his apartment in London. He'd got back late and went straight to bed. He did his usual routine getting changed, except this time he put on a blue suit, instead of his usual Jeans and a t-shirt. He stopped to look in the mirror, as he put on his gun over his shoulder, then putting on his suit jacket.

He noticed the sadness in his eyes he couldn't seem to lose, so closed his eyes and momentarily he was back in his arms again, feeling the warmth of Brendan's body, it made the pain disappear for a moment until he opened them again. Ste shook out his body and thoughts, headed off to work.

Brendan opened his eyes; his sight was blurry so he rubbed them with his hands. Looked around the room, he was alone now. The sun shone through the blinds a brighter day than yesterday. He moved to sit up, he still winced in pain but the medication was helping his movement now.

Brendan saw his mobile was left on the side drawer so he grabbed it, no messages, or calls. He felt a pain in his stomach again, the realization of the loss he felt. A part of him was missing now,how could he carry on knowing he'd never see Steven again.

He typed in a new message, 'Steven, I am sorry, I miss you'

Delete, delete, delete...he closed his phone and sighed.

A nurse came in all cheerful,"Let's take your blood Pressure and temperature this morning! And will you require more painkillers?" The nurse asked

"Hmm" Brendan replied.

"Lovely", the nurse said, "and I will bring you some toast and a cup of tea is it?"She asked

"Coffee please, three sugars". Brendan replied.

"My, my, you not sweet enough then?" she laughed

Brendan didn't, she wasn't being funny at all in his mind. He seriously needed to snap out of this. Decided he needed out of this bed and back to work as normal.

"Erm, I want to discharge myself, please can you get Dr Browning? Just tell him same as yesterday, bring the papers, he'll know what you mean, thank you" Brendan said getting out of his bed and walking over to the window. He started to get dressed then called Chez.

Warren had arrived at the hospital to get Brendan when Cheryl hadn't been able too; he picked him up and drove him back to Hollyoaks. Brendan wanted to go into Chez,chez and see Walker as Warren had told him he'd stayed the night there. They both walked up the stairs to the club, walked in and Warren poured them some whiskey.

"To absent friends?" Warren asked holding out a glass to Brendan.

"Don't take the piss Foxy, it really wares thin" Brendan sighed before downing the whiskey.

"Jeez, here we go, look I saw what he meant to you, we all bloody saw! You have never acted like that before the whole time I've known ya. Good really" Warren replied

"Good, how?" Asked Brendan

"Good to know there is a heart in that body of yours! replied Warren.

They walked into Brendan's office, but Walker wasn't there.

"I'll check the toilets" Warren said.

Brendan walked in and came across a note, 'Back soon, W' on it. Walker had gone out somewhere then. Warren came back into the office and Brendan showed him the note.

"Listen, Brendan, you want me to stick around? I know we ain't bessies but I have ya back,for now at least" Smirking at Brendan.

"Thank ye for your help Foxy" Brendan replied

Warren pretend fainted on the couch and grabbed at his chest, shocked look over his face. Brendan looked over and wondered if he'd lost his mind, then realized and smirked.

"Yeah, yeah very funny!" Brendan laughed "I must be going soft"

"No, it's a certain spy that's put a bloody spell on you,Brendan fucking Brady, saying Thank you!" Warren laughed.

Just then they heard footsteps running up the stairs. Joel came into the office.

"Dad,Brendan" Joel said.

"Alright son, hows life treatin ya? You and Teresa, you know whattin still?" Replied Warren

DAD! No, okay! Look I have something to tell you Brendan, and I don't think you're gonna like it much" Joel said

Brendan looked at Joel intently moved around to his chair and sat down. He listened while Joel explained how yesterday he had come by the club to pick up something behind the bar. While there he had heard Walker on the phone, he had an agitated voice. He said he only heard snippets but mentioned a spy coming over, that he hadn't done his job properly and that it needed sorting out. Brendan stood up and looked over at Warren. Warren stood up and sighed while looking at the ceiling.

"Don't tell me, London, right?! Asked Warren

"London Foxy, London is calling" Brendan smiled.

Ste drove into the H.Q building, he had the usual banter with Fred the guard who never smiled, parked up and wandered through reception. He greeted George who looked flustered as he always did seeing him, scanned him and he went up to the elevator and went up to the top floor. He made a slight detour before going to see his boss; he wanted to see Leanne and Lyndsey first. He saw them both chatting in Lynseys office, he knocked at the door and walked in.

"Surprise!" Ste shouted

"Oh my god!Steeee!" Shrieked Leanne as she hugged the life out of him.

"Can't breatheee" Ste muffled

"Oh sorry" cried Leanne. "Look Lynsey it's Ste!"

"NEVER!" Replied Lynsey as they all laughed.

Lynsey took Ste over to one side of the room with Leanne,they looked around to make sure it was just them.

"Ste,We love ye,ye know this right? Asked Lynsey.

"Umm,yeah I guess,why what's wrong?" Ste replied with worry

"Ok,well you know we are monitoring Brendan Bradys calls yeah? Well,we hear everything,all his calls,even ones that come from you..." Lynsey smirked as she looked at Leanne.

"Ey?! I only made the one call to him,about being from the magazine and that." Ste thought to himself.

"No Ste,you made another call,about the hotel you were staying in...remember?" Leanne was laughing now.

"Wait,no the hotel...OH!" Ste turned a deep crimson as he realized the call they had had, ended in Brendan sharing more than a chat.

"Oh god! Does he know? The boss? Shit,It wasn't my fault,he SEDUCED me! Can you delete it? Please?!" Begged Ste

"Already have" Smirked Leanne. "Utter filth Steven Hay! Be careful what you say on the phone from now on,might not be us hearing it next time!" Leanne teased.

"Right,we want ALL the gossip now,so spill!" Lyndsey said sat down comfy at her desk waiting.

They all had a half hour gossip, all about the mustachioed Irish man. Ste was still hurting about it, but found himself gushing about Brendan, making the girls squeal like, well, girls. He also said it hadn't meant to be, and thought his job as an agent could be at risk now. Besides he even was thinking to give it all up for him too.

"Wait,Ste,you love him?" Asked Lynsey shocked. "How,you have just met him,and you gonna give up your work,everything,for a bloody drugs pusher?! Lynsey gasped and put her head in her hands.

"Is he a god or somet?" Inquired Leanne.

"He is in bed, yeah...erm, I mean no he's not a god! Ste blushed again.

"Just, I dunno,we kinda,clicked. Like he's the missing part I never knew I needed, till now like. Besides,anyone can change can't they?" Sighed Ste

Both Leanne and Lynsey looked worried at each other, but gave Ste a big hug.

He left and went off to his boss' office. He wandered down the blue green carpet of the building and looked up to see Cindy. Luckily she wasn't applying any make up this time round.

"Morning, Can you let him know I'm here please?" asked Ste

"I heard you screwed up your newest mission", said Cindy"Guess we won't be seeing much more of you around here eh?" Cindy sneered.

"Yeah? Well,as we're exchanging pleasantries,you should know your moustashe needs waxing" Ste retorted.

"Now just let him Know I'm here yeah? Ste asked then walked over to the office. While he watched Cindy grab a mirror inspecting her upper lip.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ste walked into the large office, no one was here yet, so he walked over to the windows that covered the side of the room. It was late morning now and the sun was still shining, he watched over the tops of the high buildings of London. He could see the London eye in the distance.

Ste felt thirsty, so he walked over to the drinks cabinet, poured himself a glass of water. His eyes wandered over to the wall,it was covered in certificates and photos in frames. Ste was having a nosy at them he noticed a familiar face on one. Simon. He was stood with Ste's boss at what looked like a gathering of sorts. How did he know Walker thought Ste puzzled. He then looked at his desk, it had various files on it, family photo. Ste walked over and looked at his boss, with an older woman and two children all smiling.

He looked down and saw a file, the usual TOP SECRET emblazoned across it. A paper was hanging out of it. Ste looked up at the door and listened, it was quiet. He sat down in the massive leather backed chair; it made an obscene noise that leather always makes as you sit on it. Ste shifted nervously as he opened up the file. It was the same as the one he had; the name had drawn him in, Brendan Brady he mouthed to himself in shock. He had Brendan's file, so what was this one?

He noticed only a few papers in this. one was a sort of witness statement. Ste realized this could be the informant his boss had mentioned other day. He turned the page to see another paper this time with a picture on it. Walker thought Ste shocked. Another page had a receipt for a cheque written out,for a big sum of money.

His bosses' name was on the receipt. Ste was confused,why would his boss be paying Simon? Ste jumped back quickly spilling his drink on the desk. " SHIT" he cried. Grabbing some tissue he tried to mop it up, closed the file and shoved it inside his jacket. He had managed to wipe up the mess when his boss walked in.

As Brendan and Warren sat on yet another plane, he looked at Brendan. He seemed to be deep in thought. They had got a taxi to the airport and Brendan had paid for the tickets and had managed to get on a flight quickly.

"So, now what?" asked Warren

"What you mean? " Replied Brendan.

"Well ya can't go bounding into a government building can you? Whats the plan? And what has Walker got to do with all this?" Said Warren

"Honestly? I have no idea, he always seemed a decent enough guy, worked hard. We met a couple years ago,quiet man to be honest. He came in one day asking for a job,and he did the 'deliveries' for me for a while. Brendan replied in deep thought.

"Now he helps me run the place more or less,and he's good at putting the pressure to clients that wont pay up. Never had an issue till now, once we get back I will be getting to the bottom of all this though" replied Brendan.

"This is such fun!" Warren sniggered "Wonder if they'll let us dress up as spies too?"

"Bugger off Foxy, this is important, Ste doesn't deserve to be messed up in this because of my business dealings, I have to warn him" Sighed Brendan

"Course, course you do. And it's got NOTHING to do with the fact you fancy the pants off him, right?" Smiled Warren

"Right" Replied Brendan beaming to himself.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ste sat down in the chair opposite as his boss came over. He poured himself a drink and sat down in his chair. He leaned back on it making the chair creak loudly. Ste was nervous, and he felt heat under his collar so he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his top button. He had a long drink of his water, half full now thanks to his accident moments before.

"So, why did you kill Danny Houston?" Asked his boss taking a drink.

"I had no choice sir. I had my gun pointed, only as a warning, then he pointed the gun at me, so I fired in self defense, Sir. Replied Ste

"You had to kill him, couldn't you have wounded him for instance?" asked his boss

"Sir, I apologize for being a good shot, sir" Ste replied nervously

"No need to be flippant" His boss sat forward in his chair."Just because you have a license to kill, doesn't mean you should" he added

"Sir, it was either him, or me, I was doing my job" replied Ste. He was getting bored of this now, and wished he would hurry up.

"Why didn't you follow the mission I gave you?" his boss questioned.

Ste felt uneasy and shifted in his chair. "Sir, Brendan Brady is a criminal, no getting away from that, but the person described in that file isn't him, that was Danny Houston. Brendan only worked for him, like a lackey sir. Those were my findings and I acted on it" Ste answered.

Ste then spoke again. "Sir, why was I sent on this mission? Surely it could've been dealt with by the police? Ste asked.

Ste's boss looked uneasy now, and looked down at his desk. "We were given information to the contrary that's why" He replied. "Now,I have your letter of resignation here,can I ask as to why you want to leave us?"His boss looked up at him curious.

"Ah,yes,well I do,or at least did want to leave. It was personal sir" Ste looked at the floor at his feet.

"Hmm,It seems to me you haven't really thought it through,so for now I will put the letter in my drawer. Have a think about it really hard,you are a valued member of our team,and would hate to lose your talent. His boss replied.

"Oh and you and Brendan Brady? Don't think I haven't been told, you have compromised this entire mission, and for a quick fumble?! I need someone with a clear head" His boss stood up and walked over to the window, he took a long swig of his drink. Then turned to look at Ste, he had a troubled expression.

"Look, I will consider your request, go sort out your report so far and bring it to me in the morning, the mission is staying open,whether or not you will continue to lead it is another question." His boss dismissed him.

Ste was relieved he'd bought more time.

Brendan and Warren arrived at the H.Q's in London. It looked huge and they were kind of nervous. Brendan had suggested Warren go find a hotel and wait there, but there was no way he'd pass on going into a spy building as he kept calling it, much to Brendan's annoyance.

They went in and up to the metal detectors, they had to empty out there pockets and then go through the detectors. Once through they walked into the biggest reception area they'd seen, a huge chandelier was above them on what had to be the tallest ceiling in the world. There was a lot of people in suits walking around which meant Brendan blended in but warren stuck out like a sore thumb. They walked over to reception.

"Hello, I am here to see a Steven Smith?" asked Brendan

"He's a SPY!" shouted Warren

"Foxy, for the love of...sorry about him, he's excitable!"Brendan wanted to crawl away quickly.

The receptionist looked at them, and made a phone call.

"What's your name sir?" asked the receptionist.

"Just tell him Brendan is here" Brendan replied.

The receptionist seemed to be having a strange conversation,"Yes, he is Irish, moustashe? Yes...erm, not sure if he's a god, but handsome yeah, why are you asking me all this?!" but eventually put the phone down and smiled.

"Sir, take a seat, someone will be down to see you." Replied the receptionist.

They had been seated for about 10 minutes, when Lynsey and Leanne had walked over to them. They looked at each other then Brendan and smiled.

"You must be Brendan" asked lynsey.

"I am Brendan, um where's Steven?" asked Brendan.

Lynsey took him off to one side while Leanne kept Warren busy. She looked deep into his eyes, like she was studying him, after a moment or two she smiled and gestured to the elevators.

"Ste's office is on the 12th floor, when you get out of the elevator turn right. Its the last office, we will keep your mate busy while ye go see him" Lynsey said.

"Oh and Brendan, he has no idea you are here" Lynsey winked "also if you ever hurt him I will kill ye" she smiled as she walked back to Warren, who was literately fighting off Leanne's advances.

Brendan smiled, and nodded in respect as he went over to the elevator and pressed 12th floor.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ste was in his office, typing up his stupid report and he just couldn't be bothered with it. All it did was remind him of who he was missing, and the fact he was miles away in Liverpool. Ste stretched out his arms over his head as his joints cracked. He got up and wandered over to the window. He realized he did this a lot, just staring out of windows.

The elevator stopped on the 12th floor. Brendan noticed a few people in the few offices dotted on the floor. He looked to his right and there was an office at the end of the corridor. His heart had started beating faster as he walked nearer to the office, not noticing anyone around him, just focused on the door that was in front.

He got to the door and looked through the window, he saw Ste and his heart jumped, he was looking out of the window. He was about to knock when he noticed a plaque, on it read Steven Hay. He took his fingers over the name whispering it to himself, he smiled. Then he knocked on the door.

Ste looked around, wondered who could be knocking, but decided to ignore it. He looked back out of the window, but the knocking continued. Ste sighed walked over to the door and opened it. He couldn't believe his eyes and was stuck to the spot.

"Brendan?!" he cried. "Steven" replied Brendan as he put his hands to move him back into the office, he shut the door, and locked it. Turning to the office windows he closed the blinds.

"Wha, what are you doing here Brendan?" Ste asked shocked.

Brendan walked over to Ste

"Jump" Brendan demanded

"What?!" asked Ste blushing

"Steven, jump!" Brendan replied

"I ain't bloody jumpin..." Ste replied

"Steven,I am going to have you right now, in this office up against that wall over there,so JUMP NOW" Brendan said lowering his eyes into Ste's

Ste swallowed hard in his throat, put his arms round his neck and jumped as Brendan caught him in his arms, Ste wrapped his legs tightly round Brendan's waist and he walked them back slamming them into the wall. The breath left their lungs sharply,and made their heart's beat faster.

They kissed passionately, teeth and lips clashing in a desperate embrace. They couldn't get enough of each other, and just kissed and kissed. Their tongues tasting, lapping each other like they had never tasted anything so exquisite.

"I want you so fucking much" growled Brendan releasing their kiss. "I can't get you out of my head Steven, you're under my skin." He kissed down Ste's neck to the nape and bit down on him as Ste sighed contently. "I want you too Brendan, I..,I can't stop thinking about...oh god Bren..I want you inside me" Ste spoke breathless

Brendan growled in Ste's ear, he wanted that too. He let Ste down again pushing into him for another deep kiss. He found his wallet and took out a condom and smiled his bare teeth at Ste. Drowning in each others eyes Brendan moved to open Ste's fly and took down his suit trousers and boxers, Ste kicked them to one side.

They kissed again, Brendan bit over Ste's bottom lip as Ste opened Brendan's trousers. Ste reached into his boxers and felt Brendan's erection, he was hard and pre cum was leaking from the slit, Ste moved down to his knees and kissed down Brendan's hard cock, licking at his balls then scooping them in his hands he massaged them with his fingers. Brendan groaned out loud, and put his arm out on the wall to steady himself. The other hand ran through Ste's hair.

Ste licked over his cock to the slit and tasted his pre cum, he looked into Brendan's eyes as he, used his tongue over the slit and head tasting him, Brendan was watching him put his mouth and tongue all over him. He moaned his name, 'Steven,..oh god'. Ste smiled as he took Brendan's whole length into his mouth deep throating him as he rocked his mouth up and down on him, making Brendan wet, and slick. Ste carried on his movement,relentless sucking him down harder each time,only stopping to lap up the pre cum as it oozed out of his cock... Brendan was close,so grabbed Ste's hair to stop him.

"No, I want to be inside you Steven." Ste stood up, and he ripped open the condom, and rolled it over Brendan's cock. Brendan put his arms out to Ste who, again tightly wrapped his arms around Brendan's neck and jumped into his arms, as Brendan pushed him up against the wall again. Ste's cock was hard now and when Ste tightened his legs around his waist Brendan got both his hands on Ste constantly rubbed, squeezed and pulled at his cock making him scream with pleasure.

He wiped the pre cum over the slit and down his shaft,pumping Ste's cock, milking him. Ste was breathless and moaning into Brendan's ear. He put his other fingers into Ste's mouth and made him suck them right down, wetting them up over his tongue, and he moved it down to his hole circled around it a few times,feeling it twitch and pushed in one finger gently.

His wet fingers acted like a lube as he moved in and out of Ste's hole, he used a second and third finger as Ste groaned out loud as he found his sweet spot again, and again, moving faster in and out of him Ste was moaning out loud. "I want you inside me Bren..oh..oh..please" purred Ste, couldn't take it anymore he wanted Brendan to fuck him right then.

Brendan carefully replaced his fingers with his cock and got into a rhythm, sleeking in and out he used one hand to hold them up on the wall and one hand to rub at Ste's cock,pressing hard into the slit with his thumb he wiped at the pre cum and put it into his mouth and sucked it down tasting Ste while looking into eyes.

Brendan ground harder into Ste against the wall, and he bounced up and down onto Brendan using his legs to wrap tighter around his waist moving them deeper in with each thrust hitting his sweet spot each time. Ste fell apart in his arms as he came all over Brendan's hand and stomach, as Brendan climaxed inside Ste.

They kissed forever, arms and legs tight around each other;they slid down the wall and lay on the soft carpet together. Ste with his head on Brendan's chest, listening to his heart beat.

Brendan smiled as he spoke to Ste. "The next time I say jump, you say how high, right?"

Ste laughed back, "Damn straight I will"
