Genre: Angst. Romance. Drama.
Ratings: K+
Word Count: ~700
Pairings/Characters: TommyMerton. Duh.
Synopsis: He read the words again and again. He was Tommy’s weakness? How…? Then it clicked, combining with the kiss just moments ago. Tommy loved him.
Comments: Sorry for the delay, by BWoC plot bunnies disappeared on me. Finally rounded a few of them up, so... yeah, they still aren't mine. Enjoy!
“Shh… come on.” Tommy prodded, climbing out of his bedroom window with a sort of practiced ease.
Merton, however, was not so swift in his movements. “Slow down. I lack the werewolf stealth, if you remember.” He shimmied carefully across the roof, looking down to the ground where Tommy already stood. “You’ll catch me, right?”
Tommy rolled his eyes, scanning the area around them for any signs of watchful eyes. “No, I’m really going to let you fall.” He deadpanned. “Yes, I’ll catch you. Just hurry up.”
The older boy took a deep breath and lowered himself as much as he could before he let go. As promised, Tommy’s arms stopped him before he touched the ground and after a brief moment, in which Tommy held a little more tightly than entirely necessary, he was gracefully set on his feet once more, met with a small grin from the werewolf.
“Get in the hearse; I don’t want you out in the open more than you need to be.” Tommy ordered, lightly pushing the other teen in the general direction of the car. The two clambered into the front of the car, Tommy driving and Merton reading the directions. Finding the Syndicate’s hideout had been, not surprisingly, easy enough for someone as good with a computer as Merton - not that the Syndicate made anything particularly difficult. Now, they just needed to count on the element of surprise to gain the upper hand.
They drove until they’d gotten out of Pleasantville, about three quarters of the way to the hideout. “We’ll stop here for the night and go after them in the morning.” Tommy moved into the back of the car, grateful for the extra room.
Merton followed him back, sitting cross-legged beside his friend. “So, the things you said, earlier, before lunch. You didn’t mean them, right? You were just trying to get me to stay away?”
Tommy pulled him down before he answered. “I said things I knew would hurt you. I figured if you were mad enough at me, you’d stay away, and you’d be safe. But, you fought back, so it didn’t work all that well.” He answered, an arm resting over Merton’s chest still.
“I fought back because I felt like something was wrong.”
“Because I think you knew, without me telling you, that something was wrong. Which is why I’ll tell you now. I’m never walking away from you, okay?” He paused, shifting a bit closer. “Unless you tell me to, you’re not getting rid of me.”
Merton nodded in understanding. “I’m going to hold you to that.” He replied, closing the remaining distance between them for a kiss.
It started out soft and unsure, but then Tommy’s hand moved to the back of his neck and the passion between them amplified. By the time they pulled apart, both with kiss-swollen lips and panting for breath, several moments had passed. Despite the fact that the wolf was in no hurry to stop, and neither was Merton, it seemed, as he was still clutching at Tommy’s shirt, they needed to be prepared for the fight with the Syndicate.
“We should sleep.” Tommy managed, as he fought for control over the wolf.
Merton nodded in agreement though, and shifted closer to the other boy. “Alright.”
He wrapped an arm around Merton, holding him as close as possible as he listened to the other’s breathing even out. He knew he wouldn’t be getting much sleep, not when someone was out there threatening Merton’s safety.
----------------------
Tommy startled at the sound of several sets of paws approaching the hearse. That did not translate to good any way he thought of it. He didn’t even know when he’d fallen asleep, but, he did know they needed to get moving. Now.
“Merton.” He said as loudly as he dared, shaking the slumbering figure lightly.
It was enough to wake the other teen, who tried to sit up abruptly, but found himself still trapped in the werewolves embrace. “What’s wrong?”
Tommy’s ears were trained on the sounds of the nearing intruders. “I think we’ve been spotted.” He moved to the front, pulling Merton with him.
“What do we do now?” Merton asked, terror in his voice as he climbed into the passenger’s seat. “How close are they.”
“Too close.”
Merton’s window shattered.
