The Lengths That I Would Go To
The killer was moving around the country. Malcolm Bright could see the pattern, but he wasn't working for the FBI these days and they weren't exactly taking his calls. Short sighted of them, but they did fire him on suspicion of being crazy. The NYPD's jurisdiction was New York. With the killer beyond its borders, they handed it upwards and left it at that.
Let it go, Bright, had been Gil's sage advice. You can't catch every killer in America single-handedly.
Challenge accepted, some part of him retorted, though he'd only nodded mutely and forced a smile. Gil knew he hadn't simply let it go, but he wasn't going to have him followed to stop him doing anything stupid, either. He didn't have the will or the resources to keep tabs on Malcolm Bright 24/7 and Malcolm Bright knew it.
His mother, on the other hand, had extensive resources, so he simply didn't tell her he was leaving town. He did arrange for Ainsley to feed his bird, so the truth would come out eventually, but he'd be several states away by then.
He rode the bus. There was something oddly comforting about the anonymity of being in a crowd of strangers who had no interest in him whatsoever. He stared out the window and watched the country go by. When he stepped off the Greyhound in Lexington, Kentucky, he walked to a nearby hotel and checked in, then headed straight to the US Marshals office. There was no point in trying to talk to the FBI. If he was going to stop a killer from killing again, he needed someone in law enforcement to listen to him. The pattern suggested the next murder would happen in one of the rural communities around Lexington and it would be precipitated by a young woman's disappearance. He needed law enforcement with local knowledge, specifically.
He wandered into the Marshals' offices in a tidy three piece suit, charcoal grey with a burgundy tie perfectly knotted at his collar. He got a few suspicious sidelong glances but nobody asked if they could help him. He cleared his throat.
"Um, hello? I'm wondering if there's anyone here I can talk to about murder." He held up his hands. "Stopping murder, specifically, not... like... smalltalk."

With a shake to his breath, Raylan's right hand drifted forward, running the backs of his fingers across the front of Malcolm's hip before moving almost indulgently slow down his legs. God, he was soft in all the best ways and firm in all of them too.
no subject
"Okay?" he murmured.
Just to make sure.
no subject
Nodding mutely, Raylan finally lifted his still hungry gaze back up to meet Malcolm's, wanting to watch the reaction of his wandering knuckles as the vertical path took to a horizontal one, unfamiliar fingers drifting into the soft hair to find and drift up Malcolm's cock, half touching his own as he went.
"Tell me if I do somethin' wrong," he said, words only managing to get through the tightness in his throat.
no subject
"You...you can't really do anything... wrong," he said breathlessly.
He took Raylan's hand.
"Here, let me show you something..." he said softly, wrapping Raylan's hand around both their cocks, then his own hand over top of it, guiding it in a slow, experimental stroke and then another.
He looked up at Raylan's face.
no subject
Letting Malcolm guide his hand, Raylan looked down and gently grabbed hold of their combined girth. This he could do. Every man knew how to handle himself and Raylan was sure that those baselines were pretty fucking universal. No, the weirdest part about it was the subtle throb of Malcolm's heartbeat that he could feel through his cock, that he was sure would vanish under more intense sensations later. His brow flicked in a pinch, mouth coming open a little before he bit at the back of his lip to keep it shut as his palm caught a bit of his own precum, adding a short but noticeable streak of slick against their skin.
When Raylan looked back to Malcolm, it was for nothing more than to note where he was so he could plant his lips appropriately back on Malcolm's.

With a subtle shiver, Raylan broke the kiss but there was no chance of him going anywhere or too far away from Malcolm's lips. "You're gonna have to bring out whatever fancy liquid silk passes for lotion. If being a teenager taught me anything." The streak of precum that had been slick a few pumps before had already dissipated and he wanted to enjoy this to it's fullest.

"Better that you go get it," he said, trying to be sultry with a little peek of a grin. "I wanna enjoy the view."

"I am the architect of my life; I build its foundation and choose its contents." With a faint shrug that was mostly in his face, he tossed it over his shoulder. "Sounds sensible to me." He tossed the tube in his other hand to Raylan before he reached him.
no subject
The sudden snatch up of his hat made Raylan crack a broader grin that rolled into a chuckle at the somehow haughty, perfectly New York way Malcolm moved wearing nothing but his hat and the unbothered way he read and flicked away the daily affirmation card. If he didn't know better, Malcolm could have been completely clothed and walking down the street, perfectly at ease with his own everything.
Raylan caught the bottle as he stood back to full height, appraising the hat. "Could do with a size smaller for ya," he admitted, tilting his head a little to push the brim up with a single finger and bring the rest of Malcolm's face into view. "But it doesn't look bad. Even if I can still see you in a suit wearin' it."
Still grinning, he lifted it off Malcolm's head and put it on his own, complete with the little flick of his head needed to get his sex mussed hair under it and not out the sides. "C'mere," he said, off hand free now to slide back over Malcolm's hip. "Let's sit down." Moving around to the front of the couch, Raylan dropped the bottle on the leather next to him before he sat himself, hands eager to receive Malcolm's weight and pick up where they left off.
no subject
Definitely more dashing on its owner.

He let his hands wander lazily in their kiss until it deepened again, stirring his need back into the forefront. His right came around to brush up Malcolm's stomach and chest before coming back down to collect their cocks in one hand. Reluctantly, his left hand left Malcolm's hip to draw the cold lotion bottle against the man's leg. The click of the lid opening would have felt like it echoed if it weren't for their heavy breaths filling the apartment.

He couldn't bring himself to break the kiss yet but when it finally did, Raylan slid his hand down Malcolm's neck, thumb brushing along his collarbone and the inner edge of his throat as dark unwavering eyes watched him in all his short breathed, needy glory.

"Part of me has wanted to kiss you to lookin' just like that since the first night you spent with me," he admitted roughly, stomach jerking slightly at the buck of Malcolm's hips. That's what he wanted, the taste for it somehow left on his tongue without a kiss to put it there.
no subject
"Really?" he gasped breathlessly. "...I wouldn't have guessed." And he was pretty good at reading people.
But maybe not about that. He didn't assume anyone was interested in him like that. He didn't think he brought a lot to the table that people would want on the table.
no subject
Malcolm deserved to feel attractive and loved and wanted and Raylan knew full well what to do with those sympathetic feelings; jar them like Helen's preserves and put them on some back shelf to be forgotten about.
With a rough grunt of a breath, Raylan slid his hand back around Malcolm's neck and pulled him down, happier to busy those pretty lips wit something other than self doubt.
no subject
When the kiss broke, Malcolm's face was still close to Raylan's, searching it and studying it. Raylan was classically handsome. Tall and lean and dangerous. He must have been able to have anyone he wanted.
Why Malcolm, if it wasn't just proximity? He wasn't going to question it too closely. It felt nice to be wanted. It felt nice to be wanted by someone who knew he had problems and was okay with it.
no subject
The slide of Malcolm's arms was just enough to dislodge the already stressed tilt of Raylan's hat, sending it tumbling to the floor, but Raylan didn't care and wouldn't let Malcolm leave him any fraction for it.
Why? Raylan didn't know. Why had he taken that chance with some fractured guy who related too closely with him? Later Raylan would come around to the quick escape that his leaving allowed him being the biggest relief, but Malcolm would be one to haunt regardless, even if this never happened again. Raylan met Malcolm's gaze with a unique intensity that had no shame, despite his situation in all of it.
no subject
But it had been a while. He wasn't sure he had it in him to hold on much longer.
"Raylan..." he breathed in warning.
no subject
"It's okay," he assured with a rumble of his timber coming with the tightness of his own orgasm, edging there, waiting for the Malcolm's release before he indulged himself. He didn't think Malcolm needed the reassurance, but he kind of did, even if it was for himself.
