Easy like Sunday morning

Matthew wakes once during the night. He's rolled away from Bennet in his sleep, and when his leg wakes him he is cold and alone and for one awful moment he thinks he is back in the asylum; that everything about Bennet had just been a dream.

But no - the bed is too large, too comfortable, and he is not wearing that awful starched outfit all the patients were forced into. Turning, he sees his lover splayed out next to him, looking peaceful and content in his slumber, and his anxiety dissipates. It was no dream.

Still, that doesn't stop the ache in his leg, nor the desperate itch deep down inside of him. He scrabbles for the laudanum bottle without thinking, gulping it down like water until the pain dulls and his eyes grow heavy once more. When he next wakes, the bedroom is bathed in early morning sunlight.

It's like so many other mornings, weekends or days off where neither of them have anywhere to be, and they've always started the same way. Reminding himself that Bennet has already seen him naked, held him in the bath and kissed him breathless, Matthew tries not to feel too much like he's taking advantage as he cuddles in to his lover and slowly kisses him awake.

He smells him first, the rich earthy musk of his Matthew, and he smiles at the warmth at his side, the touch on his lips.

Bennet deepens the kiss and draws him close and it's only then that he remembers that he is not entirely himself.

"Mornin'," he mumbles against his lover's lips.

Bennet pushes aside the doubt and the fear about his missing memory, and allows himself to just feel the sensation.

He lifts that same hand and presses a kiss to the tips of Matthew's fingers.

Bennet groans at the scrape of teeth against his neck, his body stirring at the tease, and he swiftly rolls Matthew over and onto his back.

He hovers above him, eyes looking his lover over eagerly.

"You," Bennet answers honestly and leans down to kiss his lover, crouched over him but not pressing his body against his for fear of hurting him.

"You tell me now, what you want," he says, between kisses. "Everything you want."

Bennet bends down to kiss Matthew again, hungrily, greedily.

"I've been doing a lot of imaginin' since last night," he confesses.

"Or tomorrow. Or the whole week, far as I'm concerned."

Staying in their bed for seven days sounds perfect right now.

Bennet slowly lowers his body over Matthew's, taking care to straddle his injured leg and not place his weight over his lover's injury.

His mind is filled with sensation, the memory of a hundred such touches flooding back in, and he gasps with the feeling of it.

"I'll treat you whatever way hurts you least," Bennet tells him.

"Anything else you need? You just have t'say."
thegentlemanthug: (concerned [homer])

[personal profile] thegentlemanthug 2015-01-09 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"I mind," Bennet says, frowning down at him.

"I don't...I don't hurt you, do I?"
thegentlemanthug: (worried2 [homer])

[personal profile] thegentlemanthug 2015-01-09 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then I won't hurt you now," Bennet says, decidedly. "If you're not ready-"
thegentlemanthug: (smile)

[personal profile] thegentlemanthug 2015-01-09 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Bennet laughs at the eager, desperate kiss.

"Then you'll let me make sure you're not hurtin'."
thegentlemanthug: (smile)

Bennet retrieves a pillow from his side of the bed and eases Matthew's injured leg onto it.

"And I would keep it that way."
thegentlemanthug: (smile)

Wearing naught but a smile, Bennet reaches for the bottle of oil he spies on the bedside table and holds it up for his lover's approval.
