The Long Way Home

[Nox]

The low voice of his friend spoke from the still open door. He didn't move. He didn't come in and he didn't leave just stood with the door wide open with a house full of children who had a propensity to joining him in his bed at night. "You can't stand there while I'm butt ass naked in a house full of minors." He grabbed Jay and pulled him inside against him while he closed the door behind Jay and locked it.

He was soaking wet, the coat kept most of the wet away and he was still chilled to the bone, he looked in pain. If Jay said he he didn't want more he would stop but Nox was pretty sure he was just feeling that he was not welcome in his life. That the domestic life wasn't his. Nox wasn't asking for that, wasn't even offering it.

Nox stared in Jay's eyes and gave him a wry smile. Though it didn't reach his eyes. There was no humor or joy in his body, just want and need, lust and desire, the song still hummed in his ear. "This isn't whatever you think it is. Thanks for the forgiveness but the offer still stands." Nox pressed a hard kiss to Jay's lips, though he didn't push, and he'd pull back if Jay didn't reciprocate the kiss in return. "I have some vodka and not quite legal drugs if you need the pain relief." Nox whispered. "And I think a hot shower might alleviate the rest. If you'd like to join me."

Nox pulled away and left Jay standing in his room with dim lights and grabbed the gun and knife that were sitting on the chair waiting then he walked to the bed side stand and pulled lube and condoms out and tossed them on the bed. Willing and wanting. and then he crouched down and spoke softly. "Sky I need the gun safe open."

Nox put the gun and knife in the safe and pulled out the vodka and drugs he stashed for Ori and set them on the bed stand. Nox didn't grab anything as he headed into the bathroom and turned on the hot water. Jay could join him or not. He told himself it wouldn't be rejection if he left but he knew it would hurt.
