I’M GONNA SCREAM IN THIS CLASSROOM. HE HAS THE EUNJANGDO.

[merv606]

Do Terry’s staff think/know he’s in love with Daniel or do they think he’s just an eccentric and evil billionaire? What do Tom and Peggy think?

I think maybe a bit of both 🤔

They know he’s obsessed - and to do what he’s done is beyond excessive (not even considering the moral ethical and legal implications) which they chalk up to having too much money.

Tom and Peggy know him a bit better - as good as anyone can anyway - and they know they have never seen him like this.

He’s never gone even remotely close to this level of deranged.

From the WIP so should appear in the actual story - meaning spoilers obviously

[merv606]

Okay but what if in mercy Daniel and terry are having breakfast like a chef with a blowtorch and crème brûlée and Daniel looks to see terry tensed and having ptsd and a flashback of nam and terry looks like he spaced out like he is somewhere else back in the jungle

So there is flashback scene written in the notes for Mercy because I wanted to write one but I’m not sure if it’ll fit.

So this may be in the story and it may not be.

Terry’s been off all day, and Daniel can’t help but think back to last night, waking to not only Terry being up but sitting on the side of their bed, not moving, not even making a sound except for harsh breathing in the sleep quiet of the room, staring out the window.

Daniel said nothing, but he knew that Terry realized he was awake. Terry was a light sleeper himself, and would wake when Daniel did, although he was usually up before then, and if he was up, he could sense, it seemed, the moment Daniel came to. Tonight was no exception. Tonight though, Daniel could sense something was off, even in the way Terry hadn’t moved it spoken upon Daniel waking.

“Go back to bed,” was what finally broke the stalemate of silence between them.

“Are you okay?” Daniel had asked, his stomach in knots in a way it hadn’t been around Terry in a while. Something wasn’t right - he just didn’t know what exactly. If he didn’t know what that was then he didn’t know the best way to this situation - to handle Terry.

But Terry hadn’t answered, hadn’t even acknowledged Daniel’s question. He got up, leaving the room and when Daniel tried to follow he found Terry had locked the door.

Terry himself keeping Daniel from him was so wildly out of character that Daniel stood, dumbfounded, staring at the knob before trying it again.

Still it didn’t turn. Instead of panicking, like he wanted to do, he knew that day had been the anniversary of his friend’s death, and thought maybe that was the cause of it. Terry even seemed to drink more wine with dinner than normal.

But, the older man had been there when he woke, Daniel nestled into his side, which eased the tension tight in Daniel’s body even if his behaviour was still off. Not enough to be alarming like it had last night but, he knows something is not right with the older man.

They’re outside for breakfast, Daniel insisting, hoping the open air will help. It helps him when he gets too far into his own head; feels too jittery with unnamed anxiousness that he can’t attribute to anything specific.

They sit in silence, which doesn’t bother Daniel. Where before he preferred the silence and then felt the need to fill the silence, now he finds it’s nice to sit like this, side by side, comfortable enough with each other to not feel the need to say anything.

Still, Terry’s tense, eyes constantly scanning.

Although Terry generally doesn’t eat much for breakfast, sticking to black coffee and something simple like eggs, it all sits untouched.

A noise, far off in the distance, what it is Daniel isn’t sure but Terry turns his head quickly in the direction. He holds up a hand, like he wants silence, even though Daniel wasn’t speaking.

“Get down.”

Daniel sits, confused. Get down where? Why?

“Terry what?” and then the sound of something closer and louder, and Terry is on him, hissing to, “stay down,” using his body to make sure Daniel is covered completely, his arms and hands covering Daniel’s head.

Daniel can feel how they shake against him.

“Terry,” he tries again, moving his head to the side so it’s easier to breathe, but Terry just presses his weight down more, flattening Daniel to the ground as much as he can.

As lowly and evenly as possible, Daniel repeats Terry’s name, his own heart thudding wildly in his chest.

“Quiet. If they’re out there, they’ll hear us once the ground fire stops.”

Daniel thinks he knows what’s happening.

“It’s okay. We’re home. Terry, we’re safe. I’m safe,” Daniel stresses.

The older man says nothing, but his breathing is harsh.

“Listen to my voice. It’s fine. We’re fine. I’m fine.”

Daniel wriggles his hand out, relief flooding him when it doesn’t trigger Terry to try and flatten him more to the floor to prevent it. He grasps the older man’s hand tightly.

“See? I’m here. You’re here. I’m okay. You kept me safe. We’re okay.”

Daniel squeezes Terry’s hand in an attempt to reassure him, repeating it over and over like mantra, hoping it gets through to Terry.

“Please, Terry.” Daniel tries to keep his voice smooth and low - soothing - trying not to panic - even if it’s getting hard to breathe with the older man’s full weight on him, his body still covering him completely.

Wherever Terry is, it’s not here. Not fully. He thinks there’s a treat - a threat to them - to Daniel, and there is nothing that scares him more.

“Everything is okay …. Everything is alright … Because of you.”

Then Terry’s hand squeezes back; his weight suddenly off him.

Daniel takes a deep breathe, rolling to his back, watching Terry run a hand through his hair. It’s come loose from his normally sleek and polished short pony, falling around him in those short soft waves that brush his shoulders.

Sitting up, his back against the railing of the balcony, Daniel winces slightly, a twinge in his hip, and Terry’s attention is back on him completely.

Terry takes Daniel back into their room, stripping him off, Daniel not resisting in the least. It’s efficient, and professional almost, not like when Terry is stripping him quickly for other reasons.

Sitting in his underwear, Terry kneeling on one knee in front of Daniel on the bed, Terry looks him over, clearly checking. There’s a bruise already forming on a sharp hip, probably from where they hit the floor.

Terry stares at it, unmoving.

“I’m fine. It’s okay. Just a small bruise,” Daniel reassures, seeking out the older man’s eyes.

So Terry can see he means it.

“I didn’t want to hurt you,” and the agony in his voice is more than Daniel can handle.

“It looks worse than it is. I can’t even feel it.”

Terry grabs the smaller hands in his, kissing them before leaning forward, touching them to his forehead.

“It was an accident. It wasn’t your fault.”

The older man reaches out, gently tracing the bruise with a feather light touch. Daniel can feel both the reverence and the apology there.

Not that there is anything to forgive. He doesn’t blame Terry. Even if it wasn’t real it was real enough to Terry and he hadn’t even hesitated to put himself between Daniel and that perceived danger.

“What happened?”

“It’s …” he tries to stands but Daniel grabs his wrist lightly and Terry stops.

“Please. Terry, whatever it is. I … I want to help.”

“You do,” he looks at Daniel. “Without even knowing, you do so much already sweetheart,” peppering his hand with more kisses, still on one knee in front of Daniel on the bed.

“Was,” Daniel starts, unsure of what to do. It unnerves him, in a way that’s hard to describe, to see Terry like this. To know, as well, that he suffers like this. “Was that why you left last night?”

Not so much that he didn’t trust himself around Daniel - rather he wasn’t sure the reaction he would have if his mind perceived his dreams, the memories that they were, as reality and therefore a threat to him.

Terry gently removes Daniel’s hand from his wrist, lacing their fingers together instead as he sits next to Daniel on the bed.

“It’s mostly under control. But this time of year it can … well, the flashbacks can be more vivid than normal.”

“Is there any thing I can do?” So earnest. No one has ever cared just for the sake of it - not really. Everyone in Terry’s life is paid to. The only person to give their concern - their love - freely was his mother and she too needed to be protected. She too needed to be protected the most from someone she loved . If Terry wasn’t such a selfish man, he’s protect Daniel - protect him from harm - from Terry himself - but he’s not that strong. Daniel is his reason for living so all he can do, is try to mitigate the damage he can cause.

“A thousand lifetimes and I’ll never deserve you, but Daniel I’m never going to stop trying.”

He takes a page out of Terry’s book. What the older man does after Daniel has an episode.

“Make love to me?”

Terry doesn’t need to be asked twice, already crawling over Daniel, their lips meeting as he takes off his shirt so they’re skin to skin.

[merv606]

I was thinking since Terry often watched Daniel while he was sleeping (and more…) what about Daniel watching Terry while he’s asleep? Maybe post-coital. Terry falls asleep before Daniel who has never seen this side of Terry before—unguarded and vulnerable. He looks totally relaxed in slumber and at ease. Maybe it’s because Daniel is in his arms? Or maybe Daniel is slowly realizing that this isn’t faking it any longer. He is in love with Terry genuinely.

He doesn’t know what possess him.

Lying in bed now, after making love not too long ago, but for once, Terry has fallen asleep before Daniel, the edges of his hair wet, leaving a damp halo around the pillow.

They had a long romantic bath together, wine and candlelight - whoever could reach it turning the tap on when the chill would creep into the water. It ended, of course, with them making love in the over sized tub. Daniel naked and wet against Terry gave no other outcome really.

Daniel had been lying with his back against the familiar broad chest, also feeling the familiar outline of his husband’s need against him, hard as ever. He had turned, the water splashing, Terry’s hands coming to his waist on instinct.

Quick prep, and then he was in Terry’s lap, body opening up as he slowly sunk down onto the older man’s cock until it was buried as deep as it could go. Sitting a moment, more savouring the feeling than adjusting, his body was shaped for his husband now, cored out and rearranged long ago, pure muscle memory now as he rocked them both to completion, mouths only breaking apart from the never ending kiss to share the air between them.

No words had been exchanged between them, only the soft sounds of their coupling building to its crescendo. The two men clinging to each other.

That was then though and this is now.

The older man looks different in sleep, and it dawns on Daniel that he never really watched Terry sleep before. Mainly because the only man slept so little - usually the last one to bed and the first to rise, although he would stay in bed, Daniel snug against his side until he too woke.

Nightmares he’d say - although he swore that having Daniel in his arms gave him a kind of sleep that he never thought possible.

Here now, watching him breathe in and out, slow and steady, Daniel believes that.

Terry looks almost peaceful.

Something that can’t be said when he’s awake.

Content - yes.

Happy - never been more so.

But No matter what, even when they were home, Terry carries a sort of tightness about him. A sort of low lying dread - the kind you carry when you have some thing you love and the thought of losing it enters your mind. Fear - of losing that thing that you love for. It doesn’t make sense, but fear rarely does. He seems to carry that never ending - even if it is always in the background more than anything - even if Daniel is quick to assure his husband that he’s not going anywhere.

Not that he’s planning.

He loves his life. Loves his husband.

Husband!

Daniel chuckles to himself, smiling broadly, looking at the ring on his finger - then to the one that matches Terry’s.

Knows the inscription by heart, closing his eyes, picturing it.

For now. For always. We belong right here.

It took him awhile to see, but there is nowhere else he’d rather be. No one else he’d rather be with. Truly. This is home to him now, wherever the older man is, and to Terry’s credit, he was so patient throughout it all - no matter what Daniel threw his way.

He’s grateful for that patience now - but then again Terry was always better at seeing the bigger picture; playing the long game.

He moves a soft gray wave back, thumb tracing a full lower lip. A lip Daniel loves to suck on, and has, on occasion, bitten down a bit too hard on. Sometimes, when they make love, he’s gotten caught up in the pleasure of it all. Something that still surprises him; how good it was - just like Terry said it would.

Terry.

He really is such a handsome man. Terry says he’s the lucky one but really it’s Daniel. That seems to be their only argument.

His fingers trace the small scar his teeth have left. Remembers the taste of the older man’s blood; the way he seemed to relish when Daniel lost control.

Sometimes he’s not sure who’s the lesser of the two. They’re both crazy in their own right; made crazy by each other.

Daniel laughs now, burying himself back down deep into his husband’s strong arms, fingers not able to stop touching - touching what is his. Tracing patterns down Terry’s chest, lips tracking the invisible lines they leave.

“Didn’t get enough,” Terry aske, cracking an eye open and Daniel rolls his eyes …. Feeling his husband’s soft cock against his thigh although he knows that won’t last, and he can already feel it stirring.

“Want more?” voice rough, which does things to Daniel, and he shivers despite the warmth of his husband’s always too tight grasp.

Like it’s even a question.

A far gone conclusion, even if Terry sometimes has to help him get there.

Right now though, he’s still open form earlier, although before they got out of the bath Terry had helped clean him out from when he came in him … Daniel reaches over grabbing the lube coating his fingers, pushing three in to start.

Open he may be, and more than used to taking Terry in such a manner, but he needs to be wet to help ease the entry; his husband is nothing if not well endowed.

His bites his lip, fingering himself, his husband cock now fully hard against him, his own cock not far behind.

“Going to make me do all the work?” he grumbles. After he did all the work in the bathtub …

“Heaven forbid,” Terry laughs, a fond sound, so full of love it makes Daniel’s heart hurt and his head swim.

His turn now to feel the fear of losing something you love.

“My precious little pillow princess, he says before quickly switching them so it’s Daniel under him, where he belongs, his legs spread and pressed tight on either side of Terry’s waist as he guides his cock in.

“Don’t you forget it,” Daniel says, eyes fluttering closed, moaning as he’s filled with his husband’s never ceasing love.

His hips slowly undulating, cock moving inside him.

A gentle rhythm known to every man.

Born of time and love.

“A million lifetimes, I would never forget you. A million lifetimes Daniel and I would find you. In every single one.”

Daniel knows.

Heaven.

Earth.

Hell.

Terry moved all of them to get them here after all.

But Terry isn’t the only one who wants now; who feels this need.

“I’ll wait for you in all of them.”

Terry isn’t the only one who can be patient either.

Because Daniel would wait and he would welcome the older man with open arms - in every single one.
