JonMartin Week 2022

Day 1: Good Cows/First Date

Read it on AO3 here!

The first few days at the safehouse are… excruciating.

Martin knows he is ruining everything. Somehow, by some insane miracle, he has everything he has ever wanted. Jon is here. With him. They are somewhere safe (or at least as close as they can reasonably get to safe these days). And Jon is here, with him, somewhere safe because he wants to be. Because he loves Martin.

Martin knows this. He Knows it because he Saw it. So why can't he enjoy it?

Because my stupid, broken brain won't let me, Martin thinks viciously, twisting one of his hands into his hair and pulling until the pain in his scalp becomes too intense and he has to stop.

Everything is too intense these days. Colours. Sounds. Sensations. …Feelings. Martin has spent so long in the muted, empty world of the Lonely that everything now feels like sandpaper and sirens in comparison.

Even here, in the small bedroom of the safehouse. Martin is sitting on the mattress, feeling the texture of the sheets under his fingers, hearing the squeak of bedsprings, smelling dust in the air. A collection of the mildest, most inoffensive things he can imagine and it is too much. Too much!

He can't stand it, being here with nothing to do but sit and think and be in his own body and mind. That had become unbearable a long time before Peter Lukas had walked into his life with a hollow smile and promises of a way to make everything just stop.

Martin has to do something. Things are always better, more bearable, when he has a task to keep his mind and his hands occupied. But there is nothing to do in this place. Nothing to do but escape.

Decision made, Martin gets to his feet and crosses to the closet to fetch his boots and a warm coat. He will go for a walk, to keep his feet occupied if not his broken brain. Already the motion is having an effect. As he laces up his boots Martin's breathing is slowing and his thoughts are becoming less jarring. It's better.

His forward momentum carries him out of the bedroom and into the small living space. Jon is there, curled in a ball on the couch with a book. He's frowning at it, but his face smooths into a smile as he looks up at Martin.

Despite everything, Martin feels himself smiling back. He can't help it.

'Going somewhere?' Jon asks.

'Just getting some fresh air,' Martin says, as he crosses toward the front door. 'It's hard to breathe in here, sometimes.'

That was a stupid thing to say, Martin thinks, in a voice that sounds a little like Peter's and a lot like his mother's. But Jon is nodding as if it made perfect sense.

'Fancy some company?' he asks lightly.

Martin stops with his hand on the door, feeling tense and awkward all over again.

'Or not!' Jon says quickly. 'That's fine too! If you want to be alone.'

'I don't,' Martin replies immediately, instinctively. It's true, he doesn't want to be alone. But he also isn't sure if he wants company.

'Right,' Jon says. He is looking at Martin like he's a puzzle Jon doesn't quite know how to solve. His head is cocked slightly to the side, concerned but still… hopeful.

Martin loves him so much it makes him want to scream.

'C'mon then,' Martin says, feeling his chest swell with unbearable, burning fondness as Jon's whole face lights up in response to his gruff acquiesce. Jon scrambles quickly to his feet and immediately joins Martin at the door. They stand for a moment, both looking at each other expectantly.

'Jon…' Martin says slowly. 'You need shoes. And a coat. It's freezing outside.'

'Oh.' Jon looks down at himself as though he can't understand why he is wearing sweatpants and an oversized (possibly stolen?) cardigan rather than anything remotely suitable for roaming the Scottish highlands. 'Right, I'll just…' he turns towards the bedroom, but hesitates after a few steps, looking back at Martin. 'You won't leave without me?'

Suddenly unable to speak through the lump in his throat, Martin nods once. As soon as Jon has hurried out of sight, Martin opens the door and steps out into the cold, taking several deep breaths. He wants the freezing air to seep into him as it once had, to soothe the overwhelming tightness in his chest, to make his mind stop spinning. But he also doesn't want that. He firmly, resolutely, Does Not want that. He just wishes he didn't want to want it.

Shaking his head, Martin looks around, taking in the rolling green fields on every side of him. They are very isolated out here. There's a little village nearby, but Martin doesn't feel like going in that direction today. They have enough supplies to delay that trip for a while longer, and Martin is currently in a state of mind where he can hardly tolerate Jon's company in addition to his own. He certainly isn't capable of adding strangers to the mix right now.

Time for some exploring then. That seems like a good idea, when Martin is in a headspace where every sight, sound and sensation feels like it could trigger a panic attack.

Fuck.

Oh well. At least out here he can be moving around while fighting the urge to scratch off all of his skin.

Martin turns at the soft sound of the front door closing to see Jon, now appropriately bundled up. Jon looks down at Martin's hands once before resolutely burying his own deep into the pockets of his coat. Martin pretends not to notice this, just as he has pretended not to notice every other time Jon has looked longingly at some part of Martin's body that he would clearly like to touch or hold or cuddle with. It feels impossible that he couldn't have noticed the way Jon looks at him now. They both know how touch-starved Jon has become, how badly he wants Martin to hold him. They both know that Martin is utterly incapable of doing that right now.

Neither of them have said any of this out loud. What would be the point?

I am ruining this, Martin thinks desperately. I wanted Jon to look at me like that for years and now he is and I am ruining it.

Shoving his own hands into his pockets, Martin turns abruptly and begins walking, away from the house and away from the familiar route to the village. He has to fight an irrational temptation to break into a run, instead keeping his long strides to a steady pace that he knows Jon will be able to keep up with.

Indeed, after a few hurried moments Jon does fall into step beside him. For a while things are peaceful between them. Martin takes the time to breathe the cold air and tries not to think about anything. Inevitably, Jon breaks the silence.

'So… he says carefully, 'is this a quiet contemplation kind of walk, or a pleasant conversation kind of walk?'

Martin honestly doesn't feel up to either at the moment, but at this point the instinct to please is as deeply ingrained in him as fight or flight.

'I can listen, if there's something you want to talk about,' he offers.

'Hmm.' Jon seems to consider this for a moment before asking, 'Have you had a chance to peruse Daisy's selection of reading material?'

Martin wordlessly shakes his head. He is looking down at the ground as he walks, trying to block out everything other than the sight of the grass beneath his feet and now the sound of Jon's voice.

'I'm afraid it's quite dismal,' Jon says. 'She seems to only favour two genres, hardboiled detective novels and, ah, supernatural romance.'

Jon pauses for a moment, as if waiting for Martin to say something, but when he doesn't he continues.

'I made an effort with the former, I really did, unfortunately I have realised that as soon as a mystery presents itself, I have to concentrate on not knowing the answer. Otherwise the Eye just tells me. So far I've only managed to make it a few chapters before my concentration slips and I manage to spoil the entire book for myself.' Jon sounds genuinely put out about this. 'So I've had to resort to the latter.'

'Hang on,' Martin says. 'Are you saying you've spent the past few days reading… monster porn?'

'I would prefer to call it werewolf erotica,' Jon says, with what appears to be a genuine attempt at dignity. Apparently taking Martin's snort of laughter as encouragement, he continues. 'Although I believe this particular sub genre would best be classed as a, ah, bodice-ripper.'

Martin looks up long enough to see the teasing edge to Jon's smile and grins quickly in reply before returning his gaze to the ground.

'Go on then,' he says. 'Tell me the story.'

'Are you sure you won't want to read it yourself?'

'Pretty sure, yeah. I'd rather hear it from you.'

'If you insist. Well, the entire premise seems to be founded on the assumption that a wolf pack has a rigidly defined social hierarchy. While that was the common belief for a time, I'm sure you know it was disproved…'

It's good, listening to Jon talk, Martin decides. Still irritating, but more in the vein of music turned up too loud rather than nails on a chalkboard. Bearable. Worth the discomfort. He'd always enjoyed the sound of Jon's voice, even when listening to him involved hearing some of the most horrific things Martin could imagine. There had been a time when the sound of Jon's voice was the only part of Jon he'd had left and–

–don't think about that, Martin chastises himself. Just enjoy the fact that he's here now.

'In my opinion the entire affair could best be solved with a little communication and a lot of polyamory, but – oh! Look at this handsome gentleman!'

Startled by the sudden shift in Jon's attention and also by the fact that Jon is no longer beside him, Martin looks up to see that they have wandered their way alongside a wide green field containing a single highland cow. Apparently enraptured by this, Jon has climbed half way up the fence separating them from the animal and is now leaning as far into the field as he can without over balancing.

'What are you doing?'

'I want to say hello,' Jon says. He reaches his hand out towards the cow, rubbing his fingers together and making a pss-pss-pss noise like he is trying to entice a cat.

The cow remains utterly unenticed. In fact, it seems oblivious to Martin and Jon's presence entirely.

Trying not to feel like an exhausted parent trailing after an excitable toddler, Martin joins Jon beside the fence. He leans down and gathers up a handful of grass, tearing it out of the ground and ignoring the way that it feels like holding broken glass. Then he holds it out to the cow and makes a loud clicking noise with his tongue.

This does the trick. The cow looks up and, seeing the offered grass, lumbers over towards them, snuffling happily as it eats directly out of Martin's hand.

Jon is obviously delighted by this. He scrambles down from the fence and immediately rips up his own handful of grass, taking over feeding from Martin. Watching Jon fuss over the cow (who is apparently 'really so magnificently handsome, yes he is'), Martin is once again overwhelmed by the burning tight feeling in his chest, and has to grip hold of the fence to steady himself (which only makes it worse, the feel of the rough wood against his skin, too much!) Desperate for a source of distraction, Martin finds himself saying, 'Did you know that cows have friends?'

Jon is now multitasking between feeding the cow grass and running the fingers of his scarred hand through the long brown fur on its neck.

'No, I didn't know that,' he says happily. 'How do you know if cows are friends?'

'If there's a big herd in a field, sometimes you'll see pairs or small groups standing and grazing together. They're friends.' Martin pauses. 'So if you see a cow all on its own, that means it doesn't have any friends.'

Jon's attention immediately snaps away from the cow and onto Martin. All traces of his earlier delight are gone, and he is wearing the stubborn expression that means the next words out of his mouth will be some variation of 'Actually, I really must disagree'.

'Forget I said anything,' Martin says quickly. 'I'm just being stupid, don't worry about it.'

'I don't think it follows,' Jon says firmly, 'that just because this cow is on his own right now, that he doesn't have any friends. I think he probably has a whole herd of friends, and family, and– others, who care about him–'

'–so why is he all alone out here then?' Martin interrupts.

'I don't know. There could be lots of reasons.' Jon hesitates. 'Maybe he just needs some… some…'

'Some what? Some fresh air?' Martin says sarcastically.

'...some time,' Jon finishes softly. 'It's okay, if he needs some time.'

Oh. There's that lump in his throat again.

'I think,' Jon says slowly, looking at the cow and patting its neck again, 'that before too long this cow will be back with all his friends, and they'll all tell him that, even though they missed him terribly while he was… away… they didn't mind waiting until he was ready to come back. Because they love him very much.'

Martin swallows thickly. 'He must be a really lucky cow.'

'Luck has nothing to do with it,' Jon says. 'He's a good cow, and he deserves good things.'

Unable to reply, Martin just nods.

Jon seems satisfied with that, and the two continue to feed and pet the good cow until it decides it has had enough of their attention and wanders away from the fence.

As they resume their walk, Jon grimaces at his hand, which is covered in cow saliva and bits of grass. He tries to scrub it clean on his pants but is very unsuccessful.

Then Jon gasps, because without saying anything, Martin has reached out and taken his hand. It is tacky and still slightly damp and honestly feels awful. But it is also wonderfully worth it. Especially when Martin hears Jon smother a small sound of joy and settle for just squeezing his hand once in acknowledgement.

Looking back at the ground again, but smiling genuinely now, Martin says, 'C'mon then, let's see if we can find any more good cows.'
