No One's Born Broken

[abrightboy]

For tinstar.



Gil came and went. Dani came and went. Ainsley came and then left with their mother, who refused to even hear him out about telling the truth. He stared through the window at the motionless man in the bed for some indeterminate amount of time, his hand clutching his phone in his pocket.

Finally he let his eyes leave the figure through the window and he took his phone out of his pocket. He stared at that for a long moment, then scrolled through his contacts until one name rolled onto the screen: Raylan Givens.

He looked through the window, then looked at the name. Then he pressed it.

With a hum, Raylan slid his arms around Malcolm's waist as they came together, leaning down to meet the kisses with a little chuckle at how quickly Malcolm came up for the second one.

"I don't know," he murmured, kissing Malcolm again briefly before breaking the kiss again. "We'll need to get a baby monitor, otherwise I won't hear her either." He was going to be on double scream duty, but Raylan didn't mind. "Better safe than sorry. Means we won't have to hold back in bed."

Not that that was the reason but hey, Raylan couldn't help the inspirations that Malcolm gave him.

Malcolm grinned into the next kiss.

"It is going to be out first night there..." He stole another kiss. "I'll get one while I'm out," he said, his other hand sliding up Raylan's arm to his shoulder. "One of those video ones. So you can check on her with out getting up." Another kiss. "Even if she's quiet." Another kiss. "Even if you just want to see her."

Raylan was the most patient and pliable when he was otherwise occupied with those rewarding kisses, and smiled at Malcolm's last two points. He loved that that's what Malcolm's mind jumped to.

"Mm. Should I be worried that you know me so well?" It was a small concession to Malcolm's earlier point, but a concession none the less.

"And we gotta break in new beds, it's social rules," he said before stealing up Malcolm's lips again. After a long moment, he broke it and pulled away a fraction with a brief glance down before meeting Malcolm's eyes. "If you want to sleep in the next forty five minutes, we should probably get headed that way."

Of course, it was said with a suggestive tilt of his head and a devilish curl of his lips. What could he say.

Malcolm laughed at his first question, a delighted laugh that lit up his eyes. Raylan knew him at least as well and he didn't have a degree in behavioural science to fall back on.

At his next remark, Malcolm noted that rules were rules. At his last, Malcolm grinned.

"I suppose we do have a big day tomorrow..."

For the sake of us doing this in another thread..

"All the more reason," Raylan said suggestively as he leaned down and kissed Malcolm, pulling him towards the bed before turning them around and gently helping Malcolm onto the bed.

It was only a little irresponsible and Raylan wasn't sure how he felt about having sex next door to a baby yet as he'd never done that, so he wasn't going to pass up what might be his last opportunity to enjoy this kinda physical connection. Thirty minutes or so later, they were breathless but roughly cleaned up with another towel lazily abandoned in a corner and laid out on the messed up bed, tangled up loosely on each other.

"Now we can go to bed," he said with a deep breath. "Tomorrow is a big day."
