nsfw under the cut :)
This is stupid.Ā
Theyāre arguing over something theyāve both already forgotten, and the whole situation is spiralling out of control. Hurtful words are thrown carelessly, angry shouts fill the once comforting silence.Ā
Dave wonders how it all came down to this.
Him and James had been friends with benefits. No strings attached, just casual fucking like good friends would. Only Daveās let James too close into his heart, because the blonde knows all the sore spots to poke at to make things worse.
Dave shouldāve never agreed to this in the first place. He shouldāve cut it off the second he felt that knot in his stomach twist anxiously whenever James would smile.Ā
Now heās here, in his apartment, yelling in his bandmateās face and being yelled at in return. And Dave hates how he canāt ignore the way the tears in Jamesā eyes are tugging at his heartstrings.
Dave steps back to take a breath and wipe away the few tears stubbornly falling down his cheeks.Ā
He glances over James, eyes landing on the bruise now forming on the blondeās cheek and guilt washes over him instantly. Heās never lost control like that before, but itās like a flip was switched inside his brain and all the rage and frustration and heartbreak all just came bursting out all at once.Ā
Daveās heart clenches at the sight.Ā
āGod, James, Iām-ā
He takes another step towards James, hand reaching out but he stops himself. He wants to hold James, wants to comfort him and tell him how sorry he is, but he doesnāt think his touch would be welcomed. Not with the way James is now staring at him as if heās the antichrist incarnate.
āI didnāt mean to-ā Dave stammers out anyway. James cuts him off with an unamused scoff and Dave flinches at the cold glare.
āSave it, Dave. Justā¦.ā James huffs, pushing his bangs out of his face with frustration as he tries to find his words. āJust donāt.ā
Dave shuts his mouth and clenches his teeth together. He wants to protest, wants to apologize and grovel and beg for forgiveness, but Jamesā expression is hard and unforgiving. And Dave knows heās pushed past the point of no return and heās just going to have to deal with the inevitable consequences.
Thereās another moment of silence as James rubs his temples. Dave doesnāt dare to speak.Ā
āI canāt do this anymore,ā James mutters after a while, so low that itās almost a whisper. Daveās heart sinks and James doesnāt even need to elaborate any further because Dave already knows exactly what he means.Ā
Daveās body goes cold.Ā
āJames⦠No, wait, come on,ā Dave whispers. He moves quick to Jamesā side again, fingers grasping at thin air when heās met with a step back.Ā
James shakes his head and sighs out a shaky breath. The tears are falling freely from his eyes now and it hurts Dave so much just to see how broken the other looks. Itās all his fault.
āYou said this was casual,ā James says and Daveās not quite sure if itās a statement or an accusation, āNeither of us were supposed to get hurt. You promised, Dave. You promised.ā
āJames, please. Just , listen to me-.ā Dave reaches for James again, hands landing on soft skin. He carefully caresses the blondeās face, making sure to avoid the spot he knows will bruise tomorrow.Ā
James doesnāt shy away from the touch, but he doesnāt lean into it either. It feels distant, cold, unfamiliar.
āWhat else is there to say?ā James asks, voice rough and low. But Dave catches the brief flash of something in his eyes. Something tender and vulnerable and Dave just wants to wrap his arms around the other and never let go.Ā Ā
āJames, Iā¦.ā Dave swallows thickly, finding comfort by gently rubbing his thumb across Jamesā jaw. āIām sorry. I wonāt- I wonāt lose my temper like that ever again, I promise. Iām so, sorry. Please donāt leave me.ā
Dave lets his thumb run across Jamesā cheek, wiping away the tears. It doesnāt get the response Dave wants, it doesnāt elicit the same laugh and grin heās used to seeing whenever heād do small gestures like this but he canāt bring himself to pull away.Ā
āDonāt leave me,ā he repeats, āI love you too much to let you go.ā
Jamesā expression crumbles but he doesnāt push Dave away. One of his hands tentatively moves up and Dave holds his breath as fingers clutch at the edge of his shirt, pulling his body forward. He tries to ignore the way his heart leaps in his chest as he brings his other hand up to gently cup the otherās face while his shirt is now gripped with two sweaty palms.Ā
James leans his face into Daveās hand, closing his eyes before letting out a small sob.Ā
āYou canāt just say that,ā James says in a shaky voice, so vulnerable, and Daveās never seen him like this before.
Daveās heart breaks all over again but he keeps his hands gentle and soft on Jamesā face, thumbs softly wiping away the tears. He leans closer, their foreheads bumping together. He can smell his own cologne on Jamesā skin.
Dave tries not to cling on too tight in case James changes his mind and pulls away.Ā
āDonāt leave me.ā
āItās not fair,ā James mutters, his grip tightening on Daveās shirt. He opens his eyes and Dave almost loses himself in the watery blue of them. āI never asked for⦠I didnāt wantā¦ā James chokes on his words a few times before he finally manages to say what he meant.Ā
āI wasnāt supposed to fall in love with you.ā
Daveās breath hitches and he moves his hands to cradle the otherās face in his hands, heart racing and throat dry. Thereās an overwhelming need to close the space between them and Dave fights every urge to just lean down and kiss James like heās been wanting to do for months.Ā
Dave canāt take his eyes off of James, drinking in the sight of those eyes and the way the blonde glances down at his lips every few seconds. Itās taboo to the both of them. Theyād made it clear that they would never kiss.
Dave tries to find his voice, but all that comes out is a strangled whimper.
James must see the desperation in Daveās eyes because Dave knows he looks completely helpless and vulnerable. But he doesnāt give a damn right now because the person he had been yearning for for over a year was standing right in front of him, looking at him like he actually meant something more than just a good time.Ā
Daveās thumbs gently caress the otherās cheeks. Fingers move across the skin, tracing the fading marks and lines and blemishes heās grown so familiar with over the months theyāve spent together. James lets him, leaning into every touch like a cat to its favourite person.
Jamesā hands slowly move to the back of Daveās neck, fingers tangling into the soft blonde hair. The hair he used to pull and tug on without a care in the world while he held Dave down to the mattress and fucked him like there was no tomorrow. And James knows all the buttons to push and all the spots to touch and all the words to use on Dave to make him shiver and whimper and moan.Ā
But right now, the only thing James can think of doing is holding on.
āI hate you,ā James mutters after a few silent minutes, but he doesnāt pull away.Ā
If anything, the grip on Daveās hair tightens and James uses it to tug his head upwards, forcing Dave to look up at him. Daveās fingers run down, tracing the outline of Jamesā chin and his throat and the top of his collarbones.Ā
Tanned hands move to the otherās hips, hesitating for a moment, before pulling him closer. Their lips almost touch.
āThen hate me some more,ā Dave replies, his voice barely above a whisper as he feels Jamesā hands grip the his hips, pulling him even closer and Jamesā breath stutters. Jamesā hands wander to Daveās shirt, bunching up the fabric in tight fists as his eyes scan the ginger shakily, anger and so many more emotions swirling in those beautiful blue eyes.Ā
āHate me if youāre going to let me love you.ā
Dave doesnāt know who leans in first but a second passes and Jamesā mouth crashes against his lips. Itās rough and messy and their teeth clang against each other more than once but Dave canāt find the energy to care. He kisses back with just as much force, hands reaching up to clutch the otherās jaw as they both try to reclaim each otherās mouths in a bruising kiss.Ā
āI hate you so much,ā James mutters between kisses as he holds him right against him. Theyāve said many times that this wasnāt allowed between themāthey were just friends. But now it felt so right.
Dave canāt help the quiet whimper that rises when he feels James pull him down by the hips until their lower bodies are pressed together tightly. He desperately pushes his tongue into the otherās mouth, letting his own hands roam down, grabbing and pulling and just trying to bring as much contact as possible.Ā
Heās got Jamesā lower lip between his teeth, biting and sucking the skin as his tongue invades the others mouth. His body is aching to be pinned down and touched and marked with the familiar bruises the other has left on him countless times before.
They collapse on the bed, limbs tangled together and chests heaving as they finally pull back to catch their breath. Dave lets his hands settle on Jamesā hips, fingers tracing the sharp jut of his hip bone, desperate to feel as much of James as he can before itās taken away from him.Ā
āIām sorry,ā he says once his breathing has come down to a steady pace. He gently pushes the bangs out of Jamesā face and he canāt help a small smile when James turns his face to lean into his touch once more.
āItās okay,ā James tells him and Dave feels his heart skip a beat at the small, sad smile on the blondeās face.Ā
The expression quickly dissolves back into a scowl and Dave canāt help the nervous shudder that goes through him, but his heart skips a beat again when James crawls on top of him and pins his wrists above his head. Dave looks up at the blonde above him wide-eyed and breathless.
āYouāre insufferable,ā James mutters as his hands release their grip on Daveās wrists and move to tug at his shirt, āAnd stubborn. And annoying. And stupid. Andāā he yanks the fabric up, discarding it somewhere on the floor. Dave lets out a surprised noise as heās flipped over onto his stomach and he canāt help arching his back at the way Jamesā hands run down his spine.
Daveās breath stutters, his mind already fuzzy and he can barely focus. He almost misses the way James moves away from him but he canāt miss the sound of a bottle uncapping and it makes his head swim with dizzying thoughts.Ā
āStop being so difficult,ā James mutters behind him and Dave can feel his breath against his ear. Fingers tug at the belt buckle of his jeans, pushing the fabric down and off his thighs. Dave lets out a whimper that turns into broken moan as he feels James kiss the back of his neck, sucking the skin there before nipping it with his teeth.Ā
Dave grips the sheets underneath him to ground himself.
Dave can feel the familiar buzz in his brain and the pleasant weight of Jamesā body against him, pressing him down into the bed as he mouths against the back of his shoulder and Daveās fingers clench the sheets tighter. He wants to say something but the only sounds he can make are strangled moans and whimpers.
Dave feels Jamesā hands grip his hips hard and he lets out a shuddering breath, waiting impatiently for the touch he craves.Ā
Dave tries pushing his hips up into the otherās hands, a low whine leaving his throat when thereās a rough tug to his hips and heās pushed down onto the bed.
āHey, hey, be patient,ā James breathes in his ear and Dave canāt help but let out another strangled noise. He turns his face to press in into the sheets beneath him, breathing through his nose to slow down his racing heart.
āYouāre going to be the death of me,ā Dave says, choking out the words in between moans and sighs and cries when Jamesā fingers press into all the right places while the other mouthens at the back of his neck. Dave canāt keep still under Jamesā touch, shifting his hips as he presses back against him and he relishes in the way the blonde groans and curses in his ear.
āYouāre mine, yāknow that?ā James mutters against Daveās neck and Dave responds with a moan, pushing his hips back against the other.
āJames⦠Pleaseā¦ā Dave barely manages to croak out, his voice shaky and he doesnāt even care if it sounds desperate. Heās always been impatient and needy when it comes to this, and James always loves to take his time.
Jamesā hands slide along Daveās thighs, teasing and coaxing out soft mewls and gasps. And with Jamesā lips and hot breath caressing his ear, Dave feels every touch like electricity against his skin.
āDo you have any idea how crazy you make me?ā James growls, hands gripping the gingerās hips. Dave arches his back into the touch and lets out another choked moan.
āStop holding back,ā James mutters and Dave only just realizes that heās been biting his lip to muffle his moans, āI want to hear you. I need to hear you.ā
The ginger merely whimpers again, feeling slick, calloused fingers prod at his hole. He bites down a shudder as James starts with one finger, curling and uncurling it in a way that has Dave holding onto the pillow for dear life. Then he adds another, scissoring the two, spreading his fingers out in him. Then a third, and Daveās drooling into his pillow, clenching his pillow so tight his knuckles are white.
āYouāve always got to make things so difficult for yourself,ā James mumbles as his fingers work Dave open slowly, stretching him with gentle touches and Dave wants to cry out, wants to tell James to just hurry up and just push into him, but all he can do is gasp and moan. āAlways gotta push people away even though you actually want them to stayā
Daveās vision swims as Jamesā fingers move inside him. His head is swimming with lust and need, but thereās a small pang of pain in his heart.
Fingers run down his back, blunt nails scratching down his spine and Dave lets out a shaky breath, squeezing his eyes shut when he feels Jamesā tongue run across his shoulder, teeth nipping the bare skin.Ā
Dave feels himself coming undone before theyāve even really started.
āYou say that a lot,ā Dave mutters in shaky breath and he can practically feel James roll his eyes. James chuckles, low and rough and Dave feels himself shiver when a hand gently pushes on the top of his head.Ā
āBite the pillow,ā James mutters against his ear and the words make Dave clench around nothing but the feeling of James' body pressing against his.
Dave bites the pillow so hard heās worried he might just tear through the fabric. He moans and whines and shudders as his body is pushed and pulled and twisted and rearranged on the sheets in every way James wanted. Soft caresses and touches are replaced with sharp nails and rough hands and hot kisses and bites that leave marks behind on pale skin.Ā
Daveās mind is swirling and he has no idea when he lost all semblance of control and how he ended up with his legs over Jamesā shoulder and his head spinning as he clings to the bedsheet like it was his lifeline. Turns out he didnāt need to bite his pillow after all.
Daveās never really been one to be loud in bed, but he canāt seem to keep his mouth shut now. Everything feels like too much.Ā
āAh, James. Iāah. Pleaseāā The words donāt even make sense to him but he tries to voice out whatever it is thatās going through his mind. Heās overwhelmed and his brain is struggling to catch up with his mouth. All heās focused on is the sensation of Jamesā tip rubbing against him.
He feels James take his hands, intertwining their fingers together and pinning both of his hands down to the mattress. Dave looks up at James with heavy lidded eyes, barely managing to focus on the sharp blue swirling with so many emotions. His heart feels so full and he almost feels like heās going to burst.
āI love you,ā he mutters in a breath and he wouldāve been embarrassed about how desperate the words wouldāve sounded like if it wasnāt for the way Jamesā entire demeanor softens.
James lets out a long, shaky breath before leaning down and pressing their foreheads together. Dave lets out a small gasp when James slowly pushes into him and Daveās hands clench around the ones holding them together.Ā
āI hate you,ā James says again and Dave can feel his breath on his face. āI hate that I love you this much.ā
Dave canāt help the whine that escapes him, but itās quickly replaced by a moan when James starts moving. Itās overwhelming and Daveās not sure how he managed to last this long.Ā
āMe too. I hate how much I love you, itās killing me,ā Dave manages to say between gasps as he meets Jamesā thrusts with shallow moans. His hands are still pinned in between Jamesā in a tight grip and heāll probably have tiny dots of red marked down his wrists for days.
āYou really know how to screw up everything you touch, donāt you?ā James murmurs but his tone is softer now, almost in awe. āYouāve already ruined me and you still have the audacity to make me fall in love with you.ā
Daveās too far gone to think of any response to that. All he knows right now is that he has James over him, inside him and heās surrounded and consumed by everything that is James. Nothing else matters to him anymore.
Every touch, every sound, every breath and every movement of James sends jolts of pleasure through his entire body that leaves Dave dizzy and breathless. Heās completely lost in the sensation of James and Dave lets himself be pulled and pushed and guided. All he can do is keep his eyes on James, taking in the sight of sweat soaked blond hair and heaving chest that is moving in tandem with his. He would give anything to have this moment last forever.
Daveās lost in the way Jamesā lips are pressed against all the sensitive spots on his neck while his hands are holding Daveās hips in a tight hold, thrusting up into him while he continues the same steady pace. Dave grips the hand holding his a little tighter, a gasp and whimper escaping him. Thereās the familiar tingle down in his loins, and he knows heās getting close.
Daveās not quite sure if itās the way James keeps whispering how well heās taking him, or the way he kisses his skin while saying he hates him, but his mind is spinning and he canāt hold back anymore.Ā
āJames. Iām gonnaāā Daveās words dissolve back into a whine as his head curves back against the pillows, brow scrunched up and gasping. āPlease. I needāIām gonna...ā
āCome for me.ā
Jamesā voice breaks through the haze and Dave lets out a gasp, feeling his body tense up as his toes curl into the sheets. The pressure building up inside him finally releases and his spine arches off the bed. His legs shake as he comes, clenching around James so tight he might snap the poor guyās dick off, and his vision swims with white. Dave is distantly aware of the sound of his own name echoing in his ears and the feeling of James thrusting into him, pumping his load deep into him, holding each other tight.Ā
His body is still trembling, every nerve in his body on fire and Daveās struggling to catch his breath. Heās completely overwhelmed and drained. Heās not sure which part of his body is the most sensitive right now.Ā
A hand brushes against his face and Dave can hear Jamesā panting above him, before he feels the weight of the blonde on him as Jamesā body collapses. Dave weakly moves his arms around to hold the other against him.
They lay there in silence, the only sound in the room is the sound of their jagged breaths and the pounding of his own heart. Dave can feel Jamesā breath against his collarbones and the weight of his body on top of him leaves him with a sense of calm he hasnāt felt in months and he could just fall asleep at that very moment.
Theyāre both hot and sweaty and sticky and Daveās pretty sure they need to change the bed sheets after this. But Dave doesnāt feel like moving and heās more than happy to stay like this with James over him, their heartbeats racing against each otherās.
Dave idly runs his fingers down the otherās spine, tracing the sweaty skin and he hums gently at the shiver it earns from James. Dave can feel Jamesā hands gently rubbing at his sides, as if trying to soothe out the small tremors still going through his body from the aftershocks.
āI love you.ā Comes a small, soft murmur, barely audible.Ā
Dave canāt even begin to describe what hearing those words from James does to his heart, and he hugs the other tighter against his body before moving one of his hands to cup the blondeās face.
āPromise you wonāt change your mind?ā Daveās voice comes out in a weak whisper and thereās a hint of insecurity in his words.
He feels Jamesā head move up from the crook of his neck and the other gently rests his chin against his chest so he can look at Dave with a frown.Ā
āWhy the hell would I change my mind?ā James mutters, a hint of annoyance in his voice. One of his hands moves to intertwine their fingers together. āYouāre stuck with me now.ā
And Dave thinksāno, he knowsāthat everything will be alright.
self indulgent jameson.
Sorry..
thanks to @thenaughtynun for giving me the motivation to write this
warnings: blow jobs, deepthroating, glasses kink, facials, slight hair-pulling,
nsfw below the cut :)
The first time James had seen Dave in those thin, wire-framed glasses that he used on occasion, he was enraptured. He looked like some kind of geek, like a computer programming nerd, though that couldnāt be further from the truth.Ā
Itās so tantalising, the way they perch on the bridge of his nose as he watches movies while sprawled out on their couch, and God, James never wanted to thank the divine more for myopia existing. His innocent adoration for Dave in glasses had soon enough morphed into something of an aching need to see his boyfriend utterly ruined in those specs.Ā
Come splattered across those delicate frames, lying low and crooked on his nosebridge. Heās have to wipe it off with his sleeve like some kind of dork cleaning his glasses, and somehow that thought was even more arousing than getting a blowie.
The thought took up most of the space in his mind, occupying most of his brain when he saw Dave walking around the house with them like a total slut. And James knows it isnāt his fault he looks so good in glasses, but it also kind of is, when heās popping a boner every time he strolls past.
It was like a never ending hell of being turned on, unable to hide his very obvious arousal. God, it was torture, and Dave wasnāt even trying to be a tease (for once).Ā
It doesnāt help that Dave is very much an oblivious idiot, as well. So, whenever he catches James ogling his ass, he merely sends him a small grin, believing that he was being leered at because he was cute, not because of his glasses. Even worse, Dave always seemed to be wearing those damn glasses whenever they went somewhere together, the only time he took them off being in the car, where James couldnāt touch him..
Itās a late Sunday afternoon, and the two were currently relaxing at home, Dave settled into a comfortable looking sweater and his wire-frames,Ā Ā scrolling through the TV channels. His eyebrows were furrowed in deep concentration, and James found himself unable to keep his eyes from trailing down the bridge of Daveās nose, his eyes fixated on his boyfriendās glasses.Ā
āWhat the hell are you staring at, James?ā Dave murmurs without looking up, not missing a beat in his browsing.
James grits his teeth. Dave was such an oblivious idiot, but that was one thing he loved about him, as contradictory as that seemed. It wasnāt even like Dave was being purposely ignorant of the fact that he was the source of Jamesās obsession this time.. he was just naturally slow on the uptake.Ā
āNothināā¦ā James muttered, still not taking his eyes off Dave. His fingers tapped nervously on the leather of the couch between them, his eyes flickering to his boyfriendās specs, under the guise of staring him in the eyes.
Dave didnāt seem convinced, though, and he turned his head to face his boyfriend, finally peeling his eyes away from the television. āYou need something or what?ā
James hesitates for a moment, considering if he should just tell Dave the truth, or if he should just lie. The thing was, he knew Dave wouldnāt be opposed, not at all, but he wanted to see what his boyfriend would say, even if they both knew he wouldnāt mean it.Ā
Still, he didnāt want to be too blunt. Dave could be a pretty sensitive guy, and James would rather not say the wrong thing. āI want a blowjob.ā Of course, heās throwing all his considerations out the window because he wantsāno, needsāto ruin Dave in those terribly erotic spectacles.
Dave stares at him for a moment, a blank look in his hazel eyes before he broke into a small scoff, shaking his head. āWhat, are you horny, Het? Go jerk off. You donāt need to give me a shitty excuse to tell me you want me to suck you off.ā
Damn it. Dave could read him like a book, of course he could. Still, despite the fact that he knew Dave was kidding, he still acted offended, pretending like he really was giving an excuse. āI mean, donāt put it like that, I just want some attention, dude, come on⦠I havenāt gotten any in days, yāknow? Come on, baby, please?ā He whines, leaning forward and rubbing against him like some sort of cat, trying to get his attention. āHelp a guy out.ā
āYouāre pathetic, I hope you know that.ā Dave says, but he canāt keep a smirk from his face and he tilts his head, letting James nuzzle against him for a moment. āCanāt go a couple nights without head? Jesus, what are you, a teenage boy?ā
āItās been more than āa couple nightsā.ā James mumbles, sounding like a petulant child at this point, his body completely pressed against Daveās by now. He can feel his cock growing stiflingly hard in his jeans, and he lets out a soft huff, moving up to press kisses to the side of Daveās neck. āJust really want you tonight.ā
Thatās a half-truth. But heās not going to tell Dave the real reason heās all wound up or heād never those glasses ever again.
It seems to work, though, because Dave lets out a soft huff of a sigh, placing one of his hands on the back of Jamesā neck, his fingers playing with the ends of his hair. āOkay, fine, alright. Fine, you win, you needy fuckinā baby...ā He sighs to himself, eyes rolling, but the teasing words lacked any sort of heat to them.
As Dave slides off the couch to sink to his knees, thereās that trembling sense of anticipation in his gut. Finally, heāll get what heās been wanting to see for the longest time, and the thought is even more blissful that it should be.Ā
Nimble hands pull his pants down to his mid-thigh, one step closer to freeing his aching dick from its confines. Then, he peels Jamesā boxers away, letting his cock spring free, a flushed and angry red. James practically salivates as Dave tucks his hair behind his ears, shuffling closer to hover his mouth over Jamesā throbbing length.
When Dave brings his mouth down, letting James sheath himself in that tight wet cavern that is his mouth, his hand settling to tightly grip those brassy curls as Dave hollows his cheeks and bobs up and down, able to take him to the hilt with a practiced ease. He groans as the shaft pushed past his throat, James shudders at the vibrations, pleasure tingling up his spine.
āJesusāshit, ah, fuckā!ā
Choking on a moan, James uses the back of his hand to cover his mouth, almost embarrassed by the lewd noises he lets out freely. However, the sounds encourage Dave even more, and he once again takes all of him, drool stating to dribble down his chin obscenely.Ā
Warm lips wrap around his cock perfectly, as if they were practically made for him, tonguing the base of Jamesā length. His eyes flutter shut, stars exploding behind his eyelids at the sensations, because Daveās too damn good at blowjobs and knows exactly what makes him tick.Ā
āFuckāā
Tears prickle the gingerās eyes, his throat beginning to feel raw with each stab to the back of his throat with Jamesā tip, a had reaching down to cup and fondle his balls. James draws in a sharp breath, his grip on Daveās hair increasing tenfold. Daveās fingers dig into his thighs, and it would be stingingly painful if not for the bouts of pleasure his boyfriend presents to him.Ā
Jamesā balls throb gently in Daveās hands, the thick vein on the underside of his shaft pulsating, twitching in his mouth like it was waiting for something to push him off the edge, to be granted his orgasm. So he increases his efforts tenfold, doing everything in his power to make James come even faster, wanting nothing more than to swallow his load and get back to Breaking Bad.Ā
āDave, Dave, please, Iām gonnaāā
Dave hums in response, the vibrations drawing a cry of ecstasy from his partner. He can feel Jamesā cock thicken in his mouth, strangled sounds wrenching themselves from his throat. As the blonde is about to come, he pulls Daveās lecherous mouth off him, shooting ropes of spunk over his face and glasses. Taken aback, Dave doesnāt exactly know how to react well.Ā
āYou fucker, you got it on my glasses!ā Shooting a nasty glare at James, Dave looks as debauched as he had imagined, specs slanted and coated in his come, his seed dripping down his face. The man merely shrugs in response, with really nothing more to say. Dave doesnāt take his glasses off but grumbles something about having to clean them under his breath, another about getting a facial in front of Jesse Pinkman, and the look of his very come-coated face with those wiry frames has James jumping to full hardness again.Ā
āHey, Daveā¦?ā He asks, leaving his question unspoken, voice oh-so meek.Ā
āYeah, yeah, help me outta my clothes.ā
warnings: Lars and Kirk playing matchmaker (kind of?), James being an a confusing asshole, Jason being helplessly charmed by James, Fluff
inspired by @magnetadrawwās art of Jason & James!! Defo gonna make a part 2 to this!
fluff under the cut :)
Over his time in Metallica, Jason found that spending nights hanging around his bandmates leaned into two different pathsātheyād get shitfaced and pass out, or theyād play a stupid game that always involved one of them getting terribly embarrassed.
Tonight, it was clear it was going to end with someone getting humiliated. Hopefully itās not him againā¦
With his arms crossed and his legs spread out, Jason sat on the hotel floor with his back against the sofa, watching Lars spin an empty bottle on the carpet in front of him. All three of his bandmates were seated on the sofa, watching with interest as the bottle clattered against the carpet, spinning in sharp, quick intervals before slowing down.
Watching with mild interest, he pops a blueberry in his mouth from the fruitbowl their hotel had so graciously provided. Blue eyes lock onto the neck of the bottle, watching it go round and round.
Eventually, the bottle slithers to a slow stop, and the neck of it points directly at Jason. Lars snickers lowly under his breath and Kirk looks like a child about to receive a birthday present, practically bursting with curiosity and excitement.
He huffs a groan, knowing heāll have to pick between the lesser evil in Truth of Dare. Itās like theyāre 13 year old girls at a sleepover. Whatāre they gonna do next? Chat about which teenage mutant ninja turtle deserves a death penalty?
āWhatāll it be, Jase?ā Kirk asks, barely able to keep the amusement out of his tone.
Lars nudges his arm against Jasonās shoulder, looking at him with an excited expression.
āCāmon, we all know youāll choose truth. Itās not like you have the balls for a dare.āLars knew exactly how to irk Jasonāand to prove Lars wrong, he picked dare.
āDare.ā His voice holds a challengeāwhatever they give him couldnāt be too bad. They had boundaries set for this: no nudity, public humiliation and dangerous dares.
Lars grins; itās exactly what he wants, for Jasonās pride to make him pick dare.
Kirk, who had been sitting on the left, glances at Lars with an amused look on his face. It was obvious by their reactions that they were hoping he would pick dare.
āAlright then⦠I got a good one for you.ā Lars grins mischievously, licking at his bottom lip.
Leaning forward, Lars sits up and looks down at Jason, whoās eyes are narrowed with suspicion.
āSo, my dare⦠Is for you to eat a strawberry.ā
Jasonās taken aback at how simple the dare is. There must be a twistā¦
āā¦Just eating a strawberry?ā He says in a bewildered tone. Lars smirksāheās clearly loving this.
āYup! Just eating a strawberry.ā
Kirk sits back against the sofa, his face displaying a look of feigned confusion.
āWhatās wrong, Jason? Scared?ā
āNo, just..confused.ā He mutters, reaching into the fruit bowl for a perfectly red strawberry. He thinks everythingās going maybe okay, until Lars drops the bomb on him. The second half of the dare.
Once Jasonās settled with the strawberry in his fingers, Lars grins and adds, āOhāalmost forgot to mention the one little catchā¦ā
āYou have to eat it with James.ā
Kirk nods in agreement, like this was all planned out, and it probably was.
āYou both have to eat half of the strawberry, with the strawberry right between you guys. Should be simple right?ā
Jason swallows back a groanāthey were always trying to push him and James together. Itās not that he hated James, no, not at all. But the guy kind of intimidated him, and the feeling he got when he was around the frontman was strange and a little uncomfortable.
He looks up at his two bandmates, both of which were waiting for his answer and he knew he didnāt have much of a choice. If he refuses, heāll be labeled a pussy.Ā
āWhyāre you dragging me into this?ā James laments, frowning. James made it very clear he didnāt like the idea one bitātypical James behaviour.
Lars rolls his eyes, and Kirk grins mischievously.
āOh cāmon, itās a damn strawberry. Itāll be over in ten seconds.ā
āYeah, weāre not asking you to make out.ā Kirk chirps, knowing that would get a rise out of James. It worked, and James threw him an annoyed look.
Jason watched the back and forth like a tennis match, and he could see the wheels turning in Jamesās head. Jasonās sure the guyās gonna refuse, like he always does, until James suddenly speaks.Ā
āFine, Iāll do it.ā
Jasonās eyes widen and he canāt help but wonder why James had changed his mind. He watches as James sits up against the sofa, and he realizes itās probably because he doesnāt want to appear like heās scared to do a silly dare.
āAttaā boy, James!ā Lars exclaims happily, patting Jamesās shoulder. Kirk grins, and Jasonās certain heās secretly enjoying the two of them being forced together.
Feeling his cheeks heat up, Jasonās face begins to flush red. He canāt believe James actually agreed, and he can already feel his heartbeat increase. This would be a long night.
Jason hoists himself off the ground, settling next to James on the couch. This is so embarrassing, even with just the four of them in the room. He doesnāt know where to startāwhere to even place the strawberry, how this would work.Ā
It seems like James has other plans, because heās soooo confident, taking the berry out of Jasonās hand. So he was going to take the lead? Okay, he could work with thatā¦
Jason could sense Jamesās confidence, and it only made him more flustered. He could see Lars and Kirk smiling at them both, their heads leaning forward like theyāre watching a movie.Ā
Jasonās heart hammered in his chest when Jamesās fingers brushed against his. He took a deep breath to try and calm himself down, but it didnāt work. James was so close to him, and he swore he could feel the heat from his body.
James smirks smugly, and Jasonās just glad to find that the guy isnāt giving him any issues yet.
āYou donāt need to look so nervous, Jase. Itāll be over before you know it. ā
He shifts in his spot, moving a little closer to Jason and holding the strawberry in front of both of their faces.
Jason could hardly respondāhe was too focused on trying not to have a heart attack. James being close to him like this was overwhelming, and it was only going to get worse. The fact that Lars and Kirk were eagerly watching them didnāt help either. He felt so awkward, but he knew there was no backing out of this now.
āOpen wideā¦āĀ
Jasonās eyes widen in shock as James commands, and he could feel a shiver run down his spine. How was he supposed to handle this? He swallowed back a gulp, but slowly did as the guy told him to and opened his mouth.
The heat in his cheeks deepened, and this was humiliating. This dare was a terrible, terrible idea. But he would get through it. James brings the strawberry closer to his mouth, and Jasonās mind is running a million miles a minute.Ā
He almost squeaks when Jamesās thumb makes contact with his bottom lip, pulling it down slightly to allow the berry to enter his mouth. His hand then moves to hold his napeāthe gesture is waaaay to intimate, and Jason notices the tiniest sound of surprise from Lars.
The strawberry is placed between their mouths, and Jasonās struggling to breathe. This was so wrongāthere was no reason James needed to hold him like this. He could feel the guyās fingers press firmly against the sensitive skin of his neck, and heās positive James could probably feel how hot his skin is.Ā
Jason tries to maintain a calm demeanor, but heās positive heās a flushed mess right now, but he has to keep his cool. He canāt look like an idiot in front of James or his other two bandmates.
James smirks, and Jasonās sure itās because the guy knows exactly what this is doing to him. The fingers against his nape feel like theyāre burning through his skin, and the urge to press against Jamesās touch is almost too much to bear.Ā
He can still feel Kirk and Larsās eyes on him. Theyāre probably enjoying this like two damn kids watching an interesting tv show.
Jasonās starting to regret ever agreeing to this stupid gameāhow could this dare be so intimate? Theyāre just supposed to eat a strawberry for godās sake, but of course James had to make it so difficult.Ā
Jasonās eyes flicker up to Jamesās, and the smirk on the frontmanās face confirms that heās enjoying this. Itās like he was trying to get a reaction out of him on purpose.
The strawberry is somehow incredibly juicy, and when James and Jason bite down on it simultaneously, the juice somehow all drips down Jasonās chin. James looks untouched, but Jason has to cup a hand to prevent the sweet juices from dirtying his clothes. James seems to be amused by thatāthough thereās a glint of emotion in his eye Jason canāt quite pinpoint.
Jasonās absolutely embarrassed, and heās certain heās the color of a tomato at this point, but James seems to be enjoying his suffering. He canāt believe heās managed to make a mess eating a damn strawberry, but here he is.Ā
Heās too focused on trying to hide his shame to notice the way Jamesās gaze travels down to his lips, watching the trickle of juice slide down his chin.
He tries to discreetly wipe his chin, but he canāt help but feel Jamesās eyes on him. The guyās looking at the drop of juice on his chin like he desperately wants to taste it. The thought sends a shudder running down his spine, and the only thing Jason wants right now is to get this experience over with.Ā
He glances up to get a look at their bandmatesāKirkās snickering lowly, and Lars is completely shockedābut their reactions are the least of his worries right now.
āOkay, there. Happy?ā He bristled, not very happy with either of the pair. This was their fault. They had planned this stupid dare.
āYeah.ā James leans back against the couch, and a wicked smirk graces his face.Ā
Kirk and Lars canāt help but snicker, their eyes flickering to examine the two bandmates. Kirk speaks up first, barely able to hide his amusement.
āThat was⦠certainly something.ā He chuckles lowly, and Lars grins widely, clearly enjoying himself too much.
By the end of the night, Jason knows that deep down, heās the one thatās lost the game that time. Again.Ā
Throughout the rest of the night, Lars and Kirk continued to poke fun at him and James, but Jason couldnāt focus at all. He was far too distracted by the fact that James had been acting strange towards him.Ā
He kept catching glimpses of the guy looking at him, the look on his face almostā¦wanting. Whatever that was supposed to meanā¦
That evening, Jasonās mind would often wander back to their little ādareā. The feeling of Jamesās fingers against his neck and the heat from the guyās body was forever burned into his mind, and that stupid little smirk that had been on his faceā¦
It was almost hard to believe that this was the same guy that used to snap at him for the dumbest, tiniest things.
It was driving him crazy. He couldnāt think straight. His heartās racing, and heās positive all his thoughts and feelings were written all over his face.
The only way he was going to get rid of this uneasy feeling was to go lay down, but he knew heād just lay there and replay the entire night in his head. He knew sleep wouldnāt find him tonight.
In fact, something or rather someone, found him insteadā¦
Jason was in his hotel room, flopped on one of the beds as he stared up at the ceiling, trying to forget about the nights events. He could still feel the heat of Jamesās body and the touch of his fingers against his nape, like the sensations had left a permanent mark against his skin.Ā
He heard a knock against the door, and he groaned, assuming it was either Kirk or Lars ready to bug him some more.
He heaves himself up off the bed with a sigh, and he walks over to the door. He opens it, expecting to see Kirk or Lars standing in the doorway, but to his surprise, itāsā¦James.
The frontman stands in the doorway, leaning against the frame with his arms crossed, and heās watching Jason with a calm expression. Jasonās completely shocked to see him here, and his first thought is that the guyās here to continue making fun of him.
All he can manage out is a small āHey.ā Itās pathetic, but he doesnāt know what else to say, especially after that stupid dare. His heart beats against his chest like thunder, and heās sure James could hear it from the way he smirks like something about his embarrassment is so funny.
Jamesās smirk deepens, and he pushes off from the doorframe to enter the hotel room, forcing Jason to side-step so he can get past. He closes the door behind him with a silent click, and the room instantly falls into silence.
Jasonās heart is racing, but he doesnāt know why. What was the guy even doing here?
James turns to Jason again, and it takes everything in him to not shiver under the guys intense gaze. Heās used to having to deal with Jamesās intimidating stares, but it feels different for some reason. Itās almost like heās not used to having those sharp, dark eyes focused directly on him.
āYou look nervous.ā James remarks, his voice deep and low.
Jason clenches his jaw at the remark, and he swallows down the lump in his throat. He is nervous, but he doesnāt know why and he isnāt about to admit it to the guy either.Ā
āWhat do you want?ā Jasonās voice is steady, but he canāt help but feel the slightest bit flustered with James standing so close to him.
James raises his eyebrows, like heās amused by Jasonās attempt at acting like heās not ruffled. That smirk is still on his face.
āWhat? Canāt I just come see you?ā He steps forward, now mere inches away from the other man.
Jasonās heart begins to thump even faster, and he can feel the heat rising to his cheeks. Heās been alone with James plenty of times before, but this was different.Ā
He didnāt know exactly what it was, but Jamesās expression and the way he was looking at him was making him anxious. It was like he could read right through him.
He crosses his arms over his chest, hoping to hide some of his nerves.
āYou never just ācome visit me,ā so spit it out.ā
James keeps his calm demeanor, taking another step forward and effectively backing Jason up against the wall. Jasonās throat gets tight as he feels the cold surface of the wall behind him.
James places both his hands on either side of Jason, and heās practically towering over him now. A small shiver racks through Jasonās body, and James can definitely see it now.
āCanāt a friend check up on his bandmate?ā
Jamesās smirk morphs into a half grin, and he takes another step forward, closing the already small space between them. Jasonās heart is beating quicker than a damn machine gun now, and his whole face feels warm.
Jason doesnāt even know what to say. The front man was way too close to himāhe could feel the heat of Jamesās body and the sound of his breathing. He clenches his jaw, and he desperately wills himself to hide any hint of how flustered he is.
āIs that what you do? Just corner your band mates and crowd them into a wall?ā
āOnly you.āĀ
Jamesās voice is a low, almost sultry tone, and Jasonās sure his heart just skipped a beat. He tries to come up with some sort of response, but the words get stuck in his throat.
Heās absolutely flustered now, and James has to know that heās got him trapped against the wall like a fly.
James takes a moment to look Jason over, and the small shiver that wracks through the manās body doesnāt go unnoticed by him. He moves in even closer, until thereās only an inch between them. Jasonās breathing increases, and a red flush slowly creeps across his cheeks.
āYou look pretty like this.ā James murmurs, his gaze wandering over Jasonās face.
The words catch Jason off guard, and heās sure the flush on his cheeks deepens. This shouldnāt be having this much of an effect on him, but it was.Ā
Jamesās voice is so low, but his demeanor is still so calm, like heās unaffected by having Jason this close to him. Jason swallows dryly, desperately trying to collect his thoughts.
āP-pretty?ā He whispers, his voice cracking slightly.
James lifts a hand, and Jasonās breath hitches in his throat as the guy slowly moves his hand up to his face. He watches with wide eyes as Jamesās fingers gently caress his jawline, and a small gasp escapes his mouth.
The feeling of the other manās touch sends shivers through his body, and the smirk on Jamesās face is so smug and irritating andā¦attractive.
James brushes a thumb over Jasonās bottom lip, and his smirk deepens when he feels the other manās body shudder. The way Jasonās breathing was increasing and how his face had gone red was too good to ignore.Ā
He leans in impossibly close, his voice a low whisper right beside Jasonās ear.Ā
āSo cuteā¦ā
Jasonās whole body goes tense at the feel of Jamesās breath against his ear, and heās positive the guy can hear the rate of his heart thumping wildly inside his chest.Ā
He doesnāt know what to doāhe canāt think straight with James so close to him like this. Jamesās hand is still caressing his face, and he can feel himself slowly start to come undone under the other manās touch.
āI can hear your breathing, yāknow.ā James mutters lowly, his thumb now caressing the sensitive skin beneath his chin. He tilts Jasonās head up, calloused fingers gliding against his skin like silk.Ā
Jason almost whimpers, but he quickly bites his bottom lip to stop any sound from coming out. The front manās touch seemed like it was burning his skin, and it was so damn irritating how calm he still looked.
Jason swallows back a small gasp as Jamesās thumb still caresses the sensitive skin of his chin, and he canāt believe he was letting the guy do this. But he couldnāt find it in himself to stop him or push him away.Ā
āYouāre shaking.ā James murmurs, and Jasonās breath hitches in his throat. The man was rightāhe was shaking like a damn leaf.
His body trembles slightly as Jamesās hand cups his jaw, and Jason curses under his breath. The guyās touch was too warm, just like when he held him during the dare.
James runs the soft pad of his thumb against Jasonās cheek in a slow, gentle motion, and a small whimper escapes his mouth. The sound is pathetic and embarrassing, and heās sure James is definitely laughing internally at how affected he is.
James leans in closer, and Jason canāt help but wonder is this is how all the girls feel like when James seduces them. Heart rate spiking, cheeks all flush and rosy, eyes wide like a deer in headlights.
The blonde likes thisāitās different from all the groupies and girls heās used to charming. Itās a good kind of different, one that he wants to draw out. He wants to make Jason want him more than does already; to chase him down and prove his worthiness for Jamesā true affections.
This is just a test run to see if Jason could get wrapped around his finger from a minuscule interaction.
James closes the small, almost microscopic space between them even more, and a small shudder wrecks through Jasonās body as he feels the other manās breath against his skin. His heart is beating even faster, if thatās possible, and the look on his face feels so utterly pathetic.Ā
Jamesās own heart is racing, but he does a good job of keeping a stoic expression. Seeing Jason all flustered like this is doing things to him, but he doesnāt want the man to know it.Ā
Not yet, at least.
He moves his hand down to Jasonās neck, and the manās breath hitches. Jamesās fingers brush against Jasonās pulse point, and he can feel how the manās heart is pounding frantically.Ā
Jason is desperately trying to keep himself composed, but heās failing miserably. James smirks again, now sure that Jasonās fallen into his love trap.
āYouāre so damn shaky, hm?ā James practically purrs, his voice deep and low in a tone that would make anyone shiver. He runs small circles against Jasonās skin, and the other man has to restrain himself from leaning into the touch. God, this man was such a jerk.
The guitarist leans in close to his bassist, their lips a hairās length away from each other just as it was a while ago. Devious blue eyes dart to Jasonās peachy lips, a hunger clear in them.Ā
Jasonās flustered expression is like an invitationāone that heās so eager to accept, and yet, he wills himself not to.
James canāt help but admire how Jason looks like this, vulnerable and so desperate. Itās so much more enticing than any of the women heās been with.Ā
His eyes dart to the other manās lips again, and he can practically see how they would be plump and soft against his own. Would making out with him be gentle and soft, tender like long-lost lovers? Or would it be passionate and rough like they were crazed animals in a rut? He almost shudders at the thought of kissing Jason.
But no, that would ruin the fun. He wanted to drag this out and tease the poor defenceless man until he came running to him begging for more.
James cruelly pulls away, patting Jason on the cheek gently like he was a kid. He flashes the auburnette his signature grin.
āIāll see you around, Jase.āĀ
Jason wants to snap his neck. How dare he, after all the tension, the buildup? Just leaving him like that, sauntering out the door? The audacity! But what had Jason truly expected? To receive a kiss, or more?
Left alone with his stupidly filthy thoughts and the lingering touch of his frontman, Jason sinks down to the ground, head in his hands.Ā
Fuck, he cursed internally. He knew he was in the deep end.Ā
With the closing of the door, Jamesās smile falters. Damn it all, seeing Jason so flustered like that had him on the edge of losing all his patience.Ā
He desperately wants to go back to the room and pin the man against the wall, make him moan under his fingers. God, the way he had trembled when he touched his face had set his veins on fire. But no, he had to remain strong. He canāt make any moves too earlyā¦
ā¦Not when the game had just begun.
Jason is a bottom no one can tell me otherwise
cis virgin 81 james x trans experienced dave and dave talks him through giving him head, fucking him, etc as the dom? šššš
warnings: loss of virginity, first time(s), vaginal fingering, pussy eating, p in v, topping from the bottom (kinda)
nsfw under the cut :)
Daveās picked up the ability to sense whether people were experienced sexually, and James was a virgin if heād ever seen one. The way heād blush and avert his gaze when himself and Lars would talk about their sexual escapades just screamed that heād never been with anyone ever.
So when James had eventually gotten comfortable enough to open up to the guitarist about his lack of sexual encounters, Dave was more than happy to help him out.
How the hell has James gone this long without a single hookup? He was not only cute, but he exuded a certain charmāone that had the power to turn Dave weak in the knees. And here James was, eighteen and a bloody virgin. It was such a waste of a lovely specimen like James, Dave thought.
Dave was already starting to form a plan of some sort to help James get some action for once in his life, and he was more than eager to get started. He had some great ideas in mind, and he was confident that they would work like a charm on a sweet, innocent boy like James.
The very next day, Dave wasted no time in putting his plan into action. He invited James over to his place, under the guise of helping him with a guitar lick heād been struggling to master.
Once James had arrived, Dave pretended like he was going to help out with the guitar... But he didnāt. Instead, he steered the conversation towards a very different topic. He started asking James questions about his love life, wanting to get a better idea of what they were working with here.
He found out pretty quickly that James was pretty naive and lacked the experience that most guys at his age would have already had.Ā
He also sensed the younger boyās nervousness and anxiousness whenever the subject of sex came up, which gave Dave plenty of opportunities to tease him.
Dave continued to poke fun at and flirt with James, watching the cute blush spread across his cheeks and the way his eyes would widen with every suggestive comment. Dave loved seeing the boy squirm; it was a power trip like no other.
Then, after a while, Dave decided to up the ante by casually mentioning the fact that heād had quite a few partners. He talked about some of his past experiences and bragged a little, just to get a reaction out of James.
Then, after a while, Dave decided to up the ante by casually mentioning the fact that heād had quite a few partners. He talked about some of his past experiences and bragged a little, just to get a reaction out of James.
Dave decided to push the envelope even more by bringing up some of the more explicit details of his past encounters. He could see the shock and surprise on Jamesās face, but there was also something else hiding behind those wide eyes of his.
Arousal. Dave could see it plain as day: the way Jamesās breaths would get heavier, the way his tongue would dart out to wet his lips, the way heād tryāand failāto hide the tent in his jeans.
āSo, what about you?ā
James looked up, confusion and embarrassment written all over his face. āWhatā¦what do you mean?ā He asked, his voice cracking a little.
Dave grinned, enjoying seeing the boy all flustered like this. āI mean, have you ever hooked up with anyone before?ā He asked, his tone casual but with an undertone of tease.
James gulped, his cheeks turning crimson as he shook his head. āN-no, I havenāt,ā the blonde mumbled. How cute.
Dave feigned surprise, pretending like this news was a shock to him. āReally? Never?ā He asked, leaning in closer to the boy.
Jamesās face was now so red that he was almost glowing. āNo, never,ā He repeated, his voice barely above a whisper. Dave chuckled, loving the way the boy was reacting to him. āOh, sweet, innocent James.ā He teased, reaching out to pat his cheek. āYouāve been missing out, you know.ā
Dave could feel the heat radiating off the boyās skin as he touched his face. He let his hand linger a little longer than necessary, his fingers tracing the curve of Jamesās jawline.
āI mean, donāt get me wrong,ā Dave continued, his voice low and sultry. āThereās nothing wrong with being inexperienced. In fact, I think its quite endearing...ā
The guitarist inched closer to Jamesās ear, his breath warm against the sensitive skin. āBut I canāt help but wonder what type of sounds youād make if you actually knew what it was like to be touched by someone who knows what theyāre doing.ā
The boyās eyes widened even further at Daveās words, and he let out a small, needy whimper. Dave could practically feel the boyās body heat increasing, the arousal radiating off of him in waves.
Dave smiled smugly, knowing that he had James completely under his spell. āYou know, I could show you what I mean.ā
Jamesās eyes widened, and his mouth opened and closed several times like a fish out of water. āYā¦you would?ā He finally managed to stutter out. Dave chuckled again and closed the distance between them, moving so that he was practically hovering over James now. āOf course I would, sweetheart,ā he said, his voice dripping with honey.
He raised his hand and gently cupped Jamesās chin, making the boy look up at him. āI could teach you a few things.ā He murmured, his eyes locked on the boyās lips. James swallowed hard, his eyes flickering downwards as he stared at Daveās mouth.Ā
He seemed torn between wanting to pull away and wanting to lean in closer. Dave could smell the heady mix of desire and uncertainty emanating off the boy, and it was driving him wild.
Dave leaned in even closer, his lips hovering mere inches away from Jamesās. He could see the younger boyās breaths coming faster and more shallow, and he knew that he had him right where he wanted him.
But just as Dave was about to close the final gap between them and press his lips against Jamesā, he pulled back, a wicked smile on his face. āBut itās up to you, of course,ā he said, feigning innocence. āI wonāt force you into anything youāre not ready for.ā
Jamesās eyes snapped up to meet Daveās, confusion and disappointment etched all over his face. āN-no, I⦠I want to,ā he stuttered out, his voice shaky.
Dave raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on the corner of his mouth. āYou sure about that, sweetheart?ā The ginger purred, enjoying the way James was practically pleading with those beautiful round blue eyes of his.
James nodded keenly, his hands clenching into fists at his sides. āIām sure,ā he says oh so eagerly, a hint of desperation in his voice, eyes shining with yearning. āPlease, Dave.ā
The older man grins, moving to push James back against the couch and settling on his lap. Hazel eyes scan Jamesā face watchfully. āWell, since you asked so nicelyā¦ā he whispered, his hand going to the back of the boyās neck and pulling him closer.
The moment their lips met, Dave could feel the spark of electricity shoot through his body. Jamesās lips were soft and pliant, molding perfectly against his own. Dave couldnāt help but moan into the kiss, his tongue licking at the boyās bottom lip, seeking entrance into his mouth.
James responded fervently, his hands coming up to clutch at Daveās shirt as he opened his mouth, allowing Daveās tongue to slip inside. Dave deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring the sweet heat of Jamesās mouth, and he could feel the boy shivering in his lap.
James seemed surprised at first, but he quickly got over his surprise and returned the kiss with a fervor that surprised even Dave. The boyās hands flew up to Daveās chest, grabbing onto the fabric of his shirt and pulling him closer, letting out a quiet whimper as Dave deepened the kiss.
Dave smiled against Jamesās lips, his arms wrapping around the boyās slender waist and pulling him tighter against him. He tilted his head slightly, changing the angle of the kiss and delving his tongue deeper into the warm, wet heat of the younger boyās mouth.
He started slowly grinding his hips against Jamesā lap, eliciting a gasp from the boy. Dave could feel the boyās own hardness forming against his thigh, and it sent a thrill through his body.
Dave knew he had the boy right where he wanted himādesperate and aching for more. He broke the kiss, his lips trailing down Jamesās jawline and to his neck, nipping and sucking at the tender flesh.
James let out a soft moan, his hands gripping Daveās shirt even tighter as the man attacked his neck with kisses and gentle bites. His hips rose involuntarily to grind up against Dave again, seeking more friction.
āI wanna fuck you..ā James breathes, eyes lidded with desire, fingers hooking under the waistband of his jeans.
Daveās breath catches in his throat as the words leave Jamesā mouth. There was something about the filthy words coming out of the boyās pretty, innocent lips that just went straight to his own rapidly growing arousal.
āI know, sweetheart,ā he purrs, his hands going to rest on the boyās hips. āBut I think we should move to a more comfortable place first, mmm?ā
James nods, his chest rising and falling rapidly with each breath he takes. āYeah,ā he manages to get out, voice thick with need. Dave helps him up, and the blonde takes his hand to lead him down the hall.
Dave lets James lead him into his bedroom, closing the door behind them. He watches as the boy climbs onto the bed, sitting on his knees and looking up at Dave with wide, innocent eyes.
Dave joins him on the bed, moving to kneel in front of him. He reaches out to cup Jamesās cheek, his thumb brushing gently over the boyās lower lip. āYouāre so beautifulā¦now take your clothes off.ā
Jamesās breath hitches at the command, a small shiver running down his spine. He complies, pulling his shirt over his head in one swift motion before fumbling with the button on his jeans.
Daveās eyes roam over the newly exposed skin before him, taking in the boyās lean, toned body. He whistles appreciatively, a smirk playing on his lips as he helps James undo his jeans and pushes the material out of the way.
James takes over and Dave moves to take his own clothes off. What the younger man finds strange is the lack of a bulge in the gingerās boxers. But it all clicks in his head when he sees the two asymmetrical scars under his pecs, barely visible.
Dave catches the look on Jamesā face and grins, knowing that the boy has figured out his little secret. āSurprise,ā he says, a hint of amusement in his voice. āHope itās not a dealbreaker, sweetheart.ā
āOā¦oh,ā James stutters out, his cheeks flushing bright red. He couldnāt help but feel a little embarrassed for his assumption, but at the same time, he was intrigued. Heād never met a transgender person before, and Dave was still very attractive to him regardless.
Dave chuckles softly, seeing the boyās genuine reaction. āYeah, not what you were expecting, huh?ā he said, his eyes watching the boy carefully. James merely gulps. āI couldnāt tell.ā He admits shyly, his cheeks going peony pink.
He reaches out to take Jamesās hands, placing them on his chest.Ā
āYou can touch me, you know,ā he said, his voice low and sultry. āI donāt biteā¦unless you want me to.āJames lets out a shaky breath, his hands moving on their own to explore the expanse of Daveās chest. He let his fingertips trace over the scars first, gently touching them as if they were something fragile and precious.
Dave leaned into the touch, pleased at the feeling of the boyās soft hands on his skin. He could see the look of curiosity and fascination in Jamesās eyes, and it made his heart skip a beat.
He let out a soft sigh as Jamesās hands continued to explore, moving lower and lower until they were resting on his hips. Dave leaned in closer to him, his eyes locked onto the boyās. āCan I see it?ā James misters up the courage to ask, looking up at Dave reverently.
Dave grins, amused by the boyās innocent question. āSee what, exactly?ā he teases, knowing damn well what James was talking about.
He watches as the boyās face flushes an even deeper shade of red, his gaze dropping down to the spot between Daveās legs. Dave can feel the heat pooling in his core, and he resists the urge to grab the boy and pull him closer.
āCan I see yourā¦pussy?ā James asks finally, his voice barely above a whisper. āPlease.ā
Dave feels a shiver run down his spine at the boyās bold question, his eyes darkening with desire. He canāt help but find the boyās innocence and curiosity absolutely tantalizing.
āYou sure youāre ready for that, sweetheart?ā he teases, his voice husky. He reaches out to cup the boyās chin again, tilting his face up to look at him directly. James nods, his eyes flicking up to meet Daveās. āYes,ā he says, his voice shaky but sure. āI want to see itā¦I want to see all of you.ā
Dave canāt help but feel a pang of affection for the boy in that moment, his heart swelling at the younger manās earnestness. He smiles gently, taking the boyās hands and guiding them to the edge of his boxers.
James takes the cue and starts to slowly pull down the boxers, his hands shaking a little as the fabric slides down over Daveās hips. He can feel his breath catch in his throat as he finally gets a clear look at whatās between Daveās legs.
āWow.ā Was all that was in Jamesā thoughts, mesmerised, his eyes wide with awe. He couldnāt believe how different it looked from what heād seen on magazines and in movies. But it wasnāt any less attractive to him, if anything, it was even more arousing.Ā
Dave wasnāt clean shaven like girls in porn mags, no, he had a curly tuft of ginger hair nestled right above, a happy trail going up to just under his belly button.Ā
āYouāre beautiful.ā
Dave chuckles gently at the boyās reaction, his heart feeling lighter at the look of wonder on the boyās face. āYou flatter me, sweetheart,ā he teases, reaching out to brush back a strand of hair from Jamesās forehead. āBut thereās more to me than just this, you know. Iāve got plenty to show you. Plenty to teach.ā
James looks up at his friend, his eyes full of trust. āTeach me. Please.āDave can feel the heat of arousal surging through his body at the boyās words, his mind filled with all the things heād like to do to him. He moves to lie back against Jamesā pillows, patting the spot on the mattress in between his legs.Ā
āWell, firstly, youāre going to learn how to eat someone out.ā
Jamesās eyes widen as Daveās words register in his head, but he doesnāt hesitate to crawl in between the manās legs. He looks up at him, waiting for the next instructions.Ā
Dave smiles, clearly enjoying having the boyās at his mercy. āRight,ā he purrs, āThe first thing you gotta do is get comfortable down there.ā
James nods, adjusting his position so he can lean in closer without his neck hurting. He can smell Daveās musk from this angle, and itās both heady and intoxicating to him.
āGood, there you go,ā Dave says, a hand coming up to rest on the back of the younger manās head. He tangles his fingers into the boyās hair, not quite pushing but giving just enough pressure to keep him in place.
āNow, the main thing you need to do is listen to me,ā he says, his voice dropping an octave or two. āJust do exactly what I tell you, alright?ā The blonde nods obediently.
āNow, youāre going to use your tongue,ā Dave says, his voice dropping even lower. āStart out gently at first. Flatten your tongue and lick a broad stripe from the bottom all the way to the top.ā
James swallows, his mouth suddenly feeling very dry. He follows Daveās instructions, flattening his tongue and giving a slow, tentative lick. Heās surprised by the taste and texture, but he finds that he doesnāt mind it. In fact, he actually rather likes it.
Dave shudders a gasp. Itās been too long since heās been eaten out.āThere you go,ā he breathes out, his hand clenching in Jamesās hair. āKeep doing that. Try to find a rhythm. And if you remember, pay some attention to the clit as well.ā
James nods again, focusing on creating a pattern with his tongue. He feels a sense of satisfaction as he watches Daveās head fall back against the pillow, his eyes closing in pleasure.
āThatās it. Just keep going,ā Dave encourages, his voice heavy with pleasure. James can feel the praise giving him a small boost of confidence, and he doubles down on his efforts. He starts to experiment with different pressures and speeds, trying to see what works best to get a reaction out of Dave.
āGood god,ā Dave moans, his hips jerking up involuntarily against James. It feels amazing to have the boyās mouth on him like this, almost like he was made for this.
āYouāre a natural at this, sweetheart. You sure youāve never done this before?ā
James canāt help but preen a little at the praise, his confidence growing with each moan that escapes from Daveās lips. He pulls back to shake his head, his mouth too occupied with following Daveās instructions to speak. In truth, heās enjoying this more than he thought he would. The sounds thatās Dave making is something he could listen all day, and the way the man pulls on his hair with his fingers makes him feel weak.
He pulls away for a moment to get a proper breath, panting slightly. āMmmā¦can I try something else?ā he asks, looking up at Dave with big doe eyes, so eager to please.
James leans back on his knees, his hands resting on Daveās hips. Heās got a determined look in his eyes now, like heās set on something.
āCan I use my fingers?ā
Dave raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. āYouāre getting awfully bold there, sweetheart,ā he teases. āBut I like it.āHe shifts on the bed, spreading his legs a little wider to give the boy better access. āGo for it.ā
James lets out a low moan as he sees the manās legs open up further, his mouth practically watering at the sight. He reaches out, his hands trembling slightly, and gently prods at the manās entrance.
āIs thisā¦is this okay?ā he asks, looking up at Dave for confirmation. āYou need to use lube.āJames reaches over to his nightstand and rummages through it, his fingers wrapping around a medium sized, nondescript bottle. He pops the cap and squeezes some onto his fingers, the scent of artificial strawberries filling the air.
ā..Strawberry?ā Dave huffs a laugh, sitting up.
āYeah..ā James laughs sheepishly, his shoulders rising in a shrug. āI didnāt have anything else.ā He reaches down again, his slicked fingers tracing over Daveās entrance. āReady?ā he asks again, seeking confirmation before he does anything. He watches as the man nods and relaxes his body.Ā
āTake it slow,ā Dave advises, guiding his hand.
James nods and slowly pushes one of his fingers in, his breath catching in his throat. Itās so warm and tight, and itās unlike anything heās ever felt before. He looks up at Dave, who has his eyes closed and his head thrown back.
āIs this okay?āĀ
āYeahā¦keep going,ā Dave moans out, his hands clenching at the sheets. āYouāre doing good, sweetheart. You can add another one now.ā
James does as heās told and carefully pushes another finger in, gently stretching Dave out. The man below him begins to make these soft, guttural sounds that are music to his ears. Heās never heard Dave sound like this, and it makes him feel powerful.
āYouāre so hot like this,ā James murmurs, his eyes roaming over the manās body. Dave merely chuckles breathlessly. āThereās all kinds of things you can do with your fingers to please someone with a pussy. You can curl themā¦thatās when you, well, curl them.ā
James looks down, realizing heās never done that before. āLike this?ā he says, as he starts to gently curve and uncurl his fingers.
Dave whines in response, a strangled sound that makes Jamesā heart beat faster. The man is usually the one in control, itās strange to see him this way.
āKeep doing that..ā Dave rasps softly. āAnd if you move your fingers fasterā¦fuckā¦thatāll feel so good.ā He has his eyes closed, his thighs quivering.
James nods, picking up the speed with his fingers while continuing to move then in a curling motion. He canāt believe heās able to make Dave sound like that, itās the ultimate ego booster. He begins to use his free hand to rub tight circles over the manās clit as well, not sure if heās doing it right, but heās determined to make it good for him.
āYouāre doing perfect, sweetheartā¦.just a little longerā¦ā Daveās words are slightly broken as he trembles against the bed, the back of his hand resting over his mouth.
James redoubles his efforts, trying to listen to Daveās instructions and keep up with the speed of his fingers. Itās starting to become a little tiring for his hand, but he soldiers on, determined to see this though.
āIām doing good?ā he asks, his voice dripping with innocence, even though he knows heās probably driving Dave mad right now.
Dave nods fervently, choking out, āYeah, yeahāfuck, and..and you can scissor them. Thatās when you spreadāā
The ginger cuts himself off with a cry, back toes curling as he holds onto Jamesā forearm. The vocalistās fingers spread out, scissoring him unexpectedly.
James is a little startled at the reaction, but also immensely satisfied that he got such in response. Seeing Dave like this, so out of control and completely undone, has to be the highlight of his day. His fingers brush against a certain spot that makes Dave keen, and he takes note of it.
āLike that?ā he asks, his voice a little cocky. āIs that the spot?ā
Dave lets out a shuddering breath and nods, unable to speak for a moment. Heās never had someone so eager to learn like this before, and itās a massive turn on but also a bit overwhelming.
āMmmā¦yeahā¦donāt stop..ā he manages to gasp out, his eyes squeezed shut. He can feel the heat pooling in the pit of his stomach, and he knows heās not going to last much longer. āJ-James..ā
James hums in acknowledgement, his tongue darting out to wet his lips. He keeps up his pace, focusing on hitting that spot that makes Dave whine out so desperately.Ā
āYou close, baby?ā he asks, his eyes roaming over the manās face. Dave merely nods, whining out a yes in response, his breath coming out in short, ragged gasps.
There's a few moments of quiet, tension building up in the air, like lightning just before a storm. Dave's body tenses up, his muscles taut and straining as he reaches the peak of his pleasure. He comes with a cry that sounds more animalistic than human, his body going into spasm as his nails dig into Jamesā forearms.
James watches in awe, his fingers still inside of Dave, feeling the manās inner walls clenching around him. He can see the tears of ecstasy on Daveās lashes and the flush of pink covering the gingerās sweaty face. He coaxed the older man through his orgasm before finally pulling away. Dave finally slumps back into the bed, he looks absolutely wrecked.
āThat was hot,ā James says, his voice a little dazed and out of breath.
Dave doesnāt immediately respond, his chest still heaving slightly as he tries to recover from the intense orgasm he just had. He feels like heās been boneless, his limbs like jello and his brain turned to mush.Ā
āYeahā¦ā he says finally, his voice hoarse and rough. āThat wasā¦something else, sweetheart.ā
The corner of Jamesā mouth curves up in a cheeky little smile, a smug look in his eyes. He gently pulls his fingers out of Dave, bringing them up to his mouth to lick them clean. āYou taste good,ā he says, the innocence in his voice contradicted by his actions.
Dave lets out a huff and rolls his eyes fondly at the boyās antics. āYouāre a tease, you know that?ā he says, sitting up and pulling the vocalist in for a lazy kiss. He can taste a bit of himself on Jamesā tongue, and it shouldnāt be as hot as it is.
James laughs against the manās lips, āOnly for you, old man.ā
He breaks away from the kiss and pushes Dave back down flat on his back, coming between his legs. He looks down at him, a wanting look in his eyes. āMy turn, now?āDave canāt help but chuckle at the boyās neediness. āWell, you did such a good job earlier, I reckon you deserve a treat.āĀ
He spreads his legs wider, one arm resting behind his head, the other hand tracing up and down the boyās arm. Jamesā brain fizzles out a little at the sight, his eyes automatically drifting from the manās face down to the space between his legs. He swallows, suddenly feeling a little nervous.Ā
āWhat..what do I do?ā he asks, his voice slightly shaky as he glances down, then back up to meet Daveās eyes. Dave can clearly see the tent in Jamesā jeans, aching to get out.
Dave reaches down and hooks a finger in the belt loop of Jamesā jeans, tugging him closer. āFirst, you take these off,ā he mutters, Jamesā fingers making quick work of the button and zipper.Ā
The vocalist squirms slightly, clearly a little eager to get his clothes off. Heās a little embarrassed at how hard he is, but Daveās not going to tease him about it. He throws his jeans to the floor, revealing his white boxer briefs. The material is already damp from where heās leaked precome through them, and he tossed those away too.
Thereās a soft intake of breath from the man below him, his eyes roaming over the boyās form appreciatively. āMmā¦ā Dave grins. āI knew youād be big.āĀ
James feels his cheeks heat up red, but the look in Daveās eyes is enough to make his head spin. āReally?ā he asks, hoping itās true. āYouāre like a damn tripod,ā Dave teases, a wolfish smirk on his stupid pretty face. āBet youāre gonna break someone in half with that thing.ā
The vocalist lets out a choked laugh, āYou flatter me.ā he says, his cheeks flushing red.āMmm, but only when Iām telling the truth, sweetheart.ā Dave reaches up and grabs the boyās hips, pulling him closer to his chest. āCome on now,ā he murmurs, nipping at his ear. āIām gonna teach you how to fuck someone properly. You ready?ā
James can feel his heart thudding loudly in his chest as he nods his head, his eyes wide with anticipation. His hands come down to find purchase on Daveās hips, and he swallows thickly. He nods mutely, unable to speak, his hands finding purchase on the manās broad shoulders. āYeah..just show me what to do.ā
Dave smiles and draws him closer, legs wrapped around James hips. āFirst thingās first,ā he says, his hands trailing down the boyās neck. āYou canāt go in dry. Itās going to hurt like a motherfucker.ā
James nods seriously, letting out a small āahā as Dave speaks. Heās trying very hard to concentrate on what the man is saying and make sure he doesnāt mess this up. It helps that the manās hands are trailing all over his body, soft and gentle.
āSo you use lube. Probably the most important part. Be generous with itābetter to be safe than sorry.ā
The redhead reaches over and grabs the bottle from the nightstand, squeezing some into his hand and reaching down between their bodies. The cold liquid makes James shiver, but he holds himself still.
āThatās it. Just like that.ā Dave says, as he starts to slowly pump his hand over the boyās length, spreading the lube around. Heās looking up at the boy, admiring the way he flushes a deep red, his eyes dark and glassy. The boy has his lips bitten in a pout and his head thrown back, and Dave can almost imagine what heāll look like moaning his name later.
Jamesā whole body jerks at the touch, gasping as Dave jerks him off. Heās trying not to make too many embarrassing sounds, but the feel of the manās hand is almost too much. It feels too good to contain, and a small whorish moan escapes from his mouth. āOh..my god, Dave..ā
The older man grins, and he stops after James is seemed ready enough, guiding his cock towards his entrance. His cunt throbs, aching with need and soaking wet.Ā
āYou gotta look when you line yourself up, okay?ā
James lets out a shaky breath and nods as he does what heās told, his hands coming down on the bed next to Daveās shoulders to keep his balance. When he begins to press in, he has to take a moment because of the sudden heat enveloping his cock. āShitā¦Godā¦ā he shivers, biting his lip to keep himself from letting out a wanton moan.
Dave groans, hazel eyes fluttering shut. James is bigālengthy and girthy in a way that stretches him out beautifully. Heās only taken half of the blonde before heās stilling him with a hand, face scrunching up as he tries to adjust.
āWait a minute,ā he gasps out, taking a few quick breaths to steady himself. James almost worries heās done something wrong, but then Daveās opening his eyes and looking up at him. The manās expression is almost fond, and he places a hand against the boyās cheek. āJust hold still for me, okay? Youāre doing great.ā
The boy nods, trying to remain as still as possible as Dave adjusts. āYouāre really tight..ā James whispers, and he has to make some effort to keep his breathing steady. He looks down at Dave, his eyes wide with awe. Heās never seen the man look soā¦vulnerable before.
āYeahā¦I donāt do this often.ā Dave grins, his hand coming up to toy with a few strands of the blondeās hair. He shifts his hips a little, pushing down against Jamesā length. āOkayā¦you can move now.ā
James lets out another shaky moan and begins to move, his body trembling as he slowly pushes in. The feeling of Daveās warm and tight walls is better than anything heās ever felt beforeā¦heās not going to be able to last very long.Ā
āFuckā¦.ā The vocalist whimpers, his brow furrowing as he grips the sheets by the gingerās head. He looks down at Dave, whose eyes are squeezed shut and mouth open in pleasure, strangled sounds of pleasure escaping his lips.
āYouāre doing perfect, sweetheart.ā Dave murmurs, his voice low and rough. He reaches up and runs a hand down the boyās back, nails scraping lightly over the skin. āYou make me feel so full.ā The look on the guitaristās face makes him want to keep this going on forever, because he looks so beautiful like this, chasing after his high like this is the meaning behind his life.
The vocalizations that Daveās making is like music to his ears. Itās the most unguarded heās ever heard the man, like the walls Daveās spent so much time building has suddenly come down.Ā
James feels a deep sense of pride in himself, that he can make the man who always seems in control fall apart like this. He leans down, his chest resting against Daveās and he starts to pick up the pace a bit, but enough that theyāre still going rather slow.
Dave can feel the boy trembling, the strain on his face as he tries to hold himself back. The way his muscles are clenched and straining, holding himself up as he moves back and forth, it makes him look like a Greek sculpture or a statue from ancient times. āYou can go faster, sweetheart.ā He says, his chest rising and falling with each breath. Heās enjoying this just as much as James is.
James lets out a guttural moan, the noise so deep and desperate that heās almost ashamed of it. He canāt help but piston his hips into Dave like heās afraid heāll slip through his fingers., pushing into him deeper and faster, chasing that feeling of bliss. He looks down at the manās face, watching the way his brows knit together, cheeks all rosy. āYou look so good like this,ā James gasps. āSo perfect...ā
Dave hums, the sound reverberating through his chest. Heās never had anyone so eager and willing before, someone whoās so focused on pleasing him. Itās doing things to his heart and his head that he doesnāt want to think too hard about. āYouāre doing so well, baby..ā he croons, fingers wrapping into the boyās hair and pulling him down. āIām so close..ā
Jamesā body feels like itās on fire, the words sending sparks down his spine and setting his skin aflame. He feels like heās going to burst at the seams any second, and the way Daveās hand is tangled in his hair, the other roaming all around his body, isnāt helping either. āMe tooā¦Iām so close..ā he whines, biting his lip as his eyes flutter close. James is now fucking into him with reckless abandon, chasing their mounting pleasures.
Dave can feel the tension coiled in the pit of his loins, ready to burst at any moment. āJames-!ā He screams, and then the boy is coming with a loud and desperate cry, his whole body trembling with the force of his orgasm. Dave follows close after, clenching his eyes shut as he trembles with the force of it. It almost feels like he goes white for a few moments, and he has to gasp for breath.Ā
Daveās insides feel gummy and warm with come, fluttering around James with the aftershocks of his climax. Jamesā lanky form collapses on top of Dave, and the older man gently scratches his scalp soothingly.Ā
They stay connected for a few seconds, only pulling apart when they feel Jamesā semen start to ooze out of his sensitive cunt. Disheveled and blissed out, Dave smiles lazily up at James. The younger man smiles back, and thereās a flash of arousal in his powder-blue eyes at the sight of Dave.Ā
āā¦Can we go again?ā
I LOVE YOUR WRITING OMFG YOU'RE THE BEST ILY
no I love you more šš
Hi there!
I have a request based on some of the crazy comments I've read so many times. So, Lars (in 80s or 90s) somehow comes across the comments like 'It should be Lars, not Cliff' and becomes really upset. He is utterly devastated because of the hate he gets, one day James notices it (finds him crying after the rehearsal) and comforts him, so Lars gets all the TLC he deserves š„°
warnings: angst, self-hating speech, comfort, Lars deserves better, James is actually nice
more under the cut :)
Lars is distraught.Ā
Theyāre right. It should have been him. Cliff should be there, up on stage. In the studio. In the photoshoots. He shouldnāt be here in Cliffās place, hanging out with his bandmates and smiling and doing whatever it is that he does.Ā
It should have been him.
He tosses the magazine across his room and towards his door, burying his face in his hands. Thereās a gentle āoofā in place of the magazine hitting wood, and his head snaps up. James stands in his open doorway, magazine rumpled at his feet.
James is looking at Lars, and he can tell right away somethingās going on. He walks over to Lars, and steps over the magazine. He sits next to his friend, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. āLars? You okay?ā He asks, his voice softer than normal.
Lars just leans his head on Jamesā shoulder, keeping his eyes closed. He doesnāt want James to see him like this. Soft, emotional, cryingā¦Lars was none of those things. Heās justā¦tired. Heās tired.
James glances at Lars, his grip tightening slightly. āHey, talk to me. You know you canāāJames starts, but cut off by Larsā voice.
āStop talking.ā Itās soft, but demanding. Still, James stays silent, and just rubs small circles on Lars shoulders.
āIt should have been me.ā
Jamesā hand freezes for a moment, before he starts rubbing small circles again. āā¦What?ā He finally asks, trying to seem as calm as possible. Heās never seen Lars like this before, never.
āIt should have been me. Cliff should be here. With you guys. Notāā
Lars cuts himself off. His voice is thick, heās pretty sure heās going to cry and he really doesnāt want to but he canāt help it. Heās been holding this in for so long, and he doesnāt think he can do it anymore. All that emotional distress and frustration has built up, ready to explode.
Oh.
James is silent for a moment, as he processes everything, and it becomes apparentāLars is crying. Something in Jamesā chest clenches, and he tightens his grip, pulling his best friend into his lap like a small child.
He holds Lars against him, and feels the Dane shake as he holds back from really letting go. āItās okay, itās okay.ā James soothes in a comforting voice, pulling him against his chest, rubbing small circles on his back and running his fingers through the youngerās hair.
āIām glad youāre still here.ā
These words are enough to push Lars over the edge, and he buries his face in Jamesā chest, letting the first few sobs come out. It takes a moment for him to gain enough control to speak, and when he does, his voice is hoarse, thick. āI miss him so much. He should be here.ā
Hearing these words makes James clutch Lars tighter, and his heart aches. āI know, I know. So do I, Lars. I miss him all the time, but heād want you here. I need you here.ā Heās practically cradling the younger man in his arms now, murmuring quietly, trying to soothe him.
Another sob wracks through Lars, and heās clutching onto Jamesā shirt, still burying his face in his chest, in an attempt to shield himself from the world. He doesnāt care if heās acting like a child right now, he needs this comfort and he needs Jamesā comfort, and god, he just misses Cliff so much.
He just keeps holding Lars, rubbing his back and murmuring words of supportāeven though it hurts. James misses their bassist as much as Lars does, but for him to see his friend so broken just breaks his heart. āI know, I know. I want him back too. I would switch places with him in a heartbeat, if I could.ā
And there it is again. The āI would switch placesā. It makes something snap in Lars, and he looks up at James, eyes red and face stained with tears. āWhy donāt you?!ā He pulls away from Jamesā shirt, his eyes red and puffy. His head is still resting against the younger manās chest, and he lets out a shaky breath, dragging his hands over his face.Ā
āIām sorry.ā
James is taken aback by the sudden outburst, and he furrows his eyebrows in confusion. āWhy donāt I what..?ā He says, tilting his head and studying Larsās face. āYou donāt have to apologise, man. Itās okay. Youāre not yourself right now.ā James gently wipes a tear on the side of Larsā face. Just seeing his normally cheerful, happy-go-lucky friend like this feels so wrong.
Jamesā hand lingers on his cheek, and Lars closes his reddened eyes, leaning into his touch. He hates this. Hates that Cliff is gone. Hates that people think he shouldāve been the one to go. And hates that because of this James is stuck having to comfort him.Ā
He lets out another shaky breath, opening his eyes again and looking up at Jamesāand thereās a vulnerability in his eyes thatās rare coming from Lars. He never lets himself be this vulnerable, always keeping up the tough image, but heās tired. Heās tired of keeping it all inside. And he wants to lash out, and scream and yell; that none of them should have gone, not Cliff, not any of them. But the expression on Jamesā face causes his heart to pang, and he looks away as fresh tears fall from his eyes.
Jamesā heart clenches again, and he gently grabs Larsā chin, tilting his head so the Daneās eyes are focused on him again. āListen to me. Okay? I know youāre upset. I know.ā James says, softly but firmly. āDonāt say that bullshit that you shouldāve died instead, because thatās bullshit and you know it. Cliff loved you. We all do. We need you here. I need you here.ā
āBut everyone thinks, they all say that they wished Iāā
James immediately cuts off Lars, his grip on his chin tightening ever so slightly. āI donāt want to hear that. Thatās all lies and bullshit. Okay? Youāre here, alive and kicking. And youāll stay that way.ā
Lars lets out a soft whimper, and Jamesā eyes soften as his friend tries to hold back another sob. The guitarist pulls the younger man closer to him, one of his hands coming up to gently card through the younger manās hair. āI would never wish youād died, okay? I wish none of this ever happened, but I wouldnāt change the fact that youāre alive. That youāre here with me right now, in my arms. Okay?ā
Lars lets out a shaky breath, trying to focus on the soothing hand running through his hair. He hates this. He never cries, heās not an emotional person, and yet here he is, breaking down in the arms of his best friend.Ā
A long moment of silence passes, all that can be heard in the room Larsā shaky breathing and occasional sniffle. Then..
āCan you just stay with me?ā
James immediately nods, tightening his grip on Lars. āOf course. Iām staying right here with you. Iām not going anywhere until you tell me to.ā He moves to lay down on the bed, pulling Lars down with him, and gently guides the other manās head to lay on his chest.
Lars lets out a soft sigh, burying his face in Jamesā chest once more, and lets his eyes flutter close. The sound of Jamesā heartbeat is oddly comforting, and slowly the tension seems to melt out of his shoulders. āDonāt go.ā He mumbles, his voice thick with tears.
āIām not going anywhere.ā James soothes gently, his hand moving to rest on the small of Larsā back as he lets the other man bury his face in his chest. He rests his chin on the top of Larsā head, and lets his mind wander to Cliff. He doesnāt doubt for a second that the bassist is probably laughing at them from the afterlife.
A soft, almost inaudible scoff of a chuckle comes from Lars at that thought, the first sign of emotion other than despair and misery. He can hear the smile in Jamesā voice, and he focuses on the sound of the other manās steady heartbeat, using it to keep himself somewhat grounded. For a few moments, the only sounds are the faint voices of Jason and Kirk, as well as the ever soft thudding of Jamesā heart.
āHeyā¦what do you think Kirk andā¦the new kid are doing?ā
A small chuckle comes from James, as he continues combing his fingers through Larsā hair. āProbably plotting another prank. Heās been causing nothing but trouble since we picked the new kid up. I swear, they share a brain cell.ā
Lars lets out another small scoff, shifting his head on Jamesā chest, closing his eyes. Itās moments like this where he wishes he could stay forever, wrapped up in the embrace of the older manās arm, listening to the thrumming, comforting sound of his heartbeat.Ā
For the first time in a long while, Lars feelsā¦safe. Protected. Which is ironic, considering itās James heās curled up against.
James doesnāt say anything, just continues combing his fingers through the younger manās hair, the other resting on the small of his back. He can feel as Lars relaxes against him, becoming fully pliant as he justā¦lays there in his arms. Jamesā mind drifts to the days when it wouldāve been Cliff in his arms instead, and he closes his own eyes, swallowing around the lump thatās formed in his throat.
Lars slowly lets his eyes close, and he focuses in on the soft thudding of Jamesā heartbeat. In the comfortable silence, the soft thumping is nearly a lullaby to Lars as he feels his eyes grow heavyāand he canāt remember the last time heās felt this relaxed. He feels as the guitaristās fingers move through his hair, the light touch like a gentle caress.
He hasnāt felt this peaceful in months. Itās almost enough for him to forget about the grief, about Cliff.
As sleep claims him, tugging his eyelids lower and lower with each slow blink, everything becomes white noise around him.
For a while he can only stare down at the younger man in his arms, his chest tightening. As it normally does when he sees Lars.Ā
Lars drifts off into sleep, the rise and fall of the younger manās chest against his own is oddly soothing to James. The tension in his shoulders slowly starts to melt out, replaced by a warm, calming comfort. He lets out a sigh, looking down at Lars. The guy is a handful to deal with, but god knows he loves the little bastard.
James waits another minute, just to make sure the younger man is fully passed out, before speaking in a soft voice. āI miss you, Cliff.ā
And itās as if heās expecting a response, even a half-assed one. But of course the silence hangs thick in the air, an uncomfortable, suffocating blanket over him. Despite this, James continues.Ā
āI know youāre probably over there, laughing at us. Making fun of us.ā
Cliff would have found all of this downright hysterical.
He can easily imagine the older manās response if he was there. Are you two cuddling without me? Iām hurt.
The thought brings a soft, sad smile to his lips. He misses the bassist. He misses his best friend.Ā
The silence that follows, save from Larsā soft breathing and the faint voices of Kirk and Jason downstairs, seems to confirm that heās alone.
But James drifts off to dreamland, he swears he can hear a whisper right by his ear, just faintly, almost as if itās a memory long forgotten. Cliffās voice, gentle as the breeze, a caress against his cheek lighter than a feather.
I know.
And maybe, just maybe, everything might be alright.
š
