Safe - Michael Stonebridge x Damien Scott

There had been blood on his hands. Damien had been able to taste the copper tang on his tongue as he had stared down at the dark, drying flecks  that were ingrained into his flesh.

He had seen Rebecca’s lifeless body, those once vibrant eyes staring up at him as she bled to death in his lap from that bullet wound. He’d tried to help her make peace with her God before she passed away, he could feel the responsibility of her death still pressing down on his shoulders like a weight.

He remembered how warm her skin had felt underneath his fingertips as that final rasp of breath echoed in his ears.

The sensation of powerlessness seized at his muscles, rendering them inert as the next memory flashed up in his mind.

Patches of blackened flesh erupted into his eyesight, instead of blood he had been able to taste sickening charred skin.   He had stared at the tiny scrunched up corpse for what seemed like hours, cowering inside a body bag that was clearly too big.

The violent ache had started in Damien’s chest. He felt that familiar sense of terror and realisation fill him up inside, his breath had  caught in his throat.

Daniel...

His target’s son back when he’d been with the CIA.

The one he could never forgive himself for.

His heart was pounding even harder in his chest. The bile climbing up his throat as he had stared at the crumpled, black mass unable to tear his gaze away.

In the distance Damien heard his name being called. That familiar voice piercing the veil of darkness that he was shrouded in.

Michael's hand was cupping his face when he woke up, those stunning eyes of his drowning out everything else in Damien’s vision as he struggled to catch his breath against the riptide of emotion in his chest.

“ You’re safe.” Michael murmured, his thumb soothing over Damien's cheek. “ You’re safe with me, in our bed.”

Our bed...

The one they had bought when they had finally decided to get out of the life and settle down in the US so he could be close to Finn.

Michael’s lips grazed his cheeks, kissing away the salty tears that had leaked from his eyes.

“You’re ok ,” Michael whispered against the corner of his mouth before gathering Damien up in his arms and cradling him close.

Michael’s lips brushed over his hairline as he buried his face into Michael’s burgundy t-shirt, inhaling his soft masculine scent.

He was safe here with Michael, nothing could harm him. There was just the two of them, in their home, in their bed.

Everything else in the world could go to hell.

Stepping Up - Michael Stonebridge x Damien Scott

It was late when Damien reached the door to Michael’s hotel room, he knew without a doubt that Michael would still be up. After everything that had happened over the past twenty four hours there wasn’t a chance in hell either one of them would sleep easy tonight. Which was why he had brought the bourbon.

It wasn’t the best quality but it was higher up the shelf than what he usually used to drink himself into oblivion.

Damien rapped his knuckles lightly upon the door, using the familiar knock that both he and Michael had concocted. He tilted his head, listening to the noises on the other side of the door before Michael pulled it open.

Damien held up the bottle, tilting it from side to side in order to draw Michael's attention to it. A smile twitched on the Michael's lips before he opened the door entirely.

“Scott.” Michael greeted him distractedly, a plush, white towel slung low on his hips. Water beaded on his broad shoulders, chasing down his bare chest in rivets. His blond hair still tousled and damp from the shower he had taken a few minutes earlier.

Damien’s mouth became dry as he drank in the sight, his left hand automatically closing the door behind him. He had seen Michael in various stages of undress over the years, they were comfortable being naked around each other. However, things felt different this time.  They had ever since that day in the hospital.

“Good to see you didn’t splash out on the good stuff.” Michael remarked humorously, treading towards the makeshift tea station and picking up two of the mugs. He returned to Damien who was  already twisting open the lid.

Michael held out the two porcelain mugs. Damien could see the slight tremor in the one on the left as he poured.

“Your arm bothering you again?” Damien asked, perching himself  on the end of Michael’s double bed before taking one of the mugs.

He expected Michael to lie to him, the way he had before they knew he had been exposed to the neurotoxin. However Michael met his gaze, his eyes full of turmoil before he sighed.

“Yea.” He stated, coming to sit on the bed beside Damien.

They shared a moment of silence, Damien’s brain running over the implications as Michael knocked back the shot of bourbon.

He held out his mug once more, gesturing with his free hand for Damien to fill it again.

Damien expected him to toss it down his throat again but instead  Michael cradled the mug close to his chest.

“I thought I’d lost you today.” Michael admitted quietly. Damien watched as his thumb trace along the curve of the handle. “When you fell off that train…”

He trailed off, leaving the two of them sitting in silence once more.

“It was a close call.” Damien said finally, his gaze dropping to the swill of amber liquid inside of his own mug. He hasn’t touched a drop yet, he wanted Michael to have his full attention.

“Do you remember what I said to you in the hospital?” Michael asked him quietly.

“You told me you’d rather be broken and alive then leave me here alone.” Damien reminded him, his tone sharper than he intended.

The thought of losing Michael scared him. They hadn’t talked about what had happened in the hospital and Damien wanted to remind Michael that there was so much more to live for than the military, that he was worth more.

Damien reached out, taking Michael’s mug from his hand and setting it on the floor alongside his own.

“You need to know if I hadn’t survived today, I would have regretted not doing this.” Damien murmured, his fingertips gracing the line of Michael’s jaw tipping his head up to meet his gaze.

His lips brushed over Michael's softly, his thumb ghosting over the apple of his cheek before he began to pull away.

Michael's strong hand cupped the back of his neck, drawing Damien towards him. His forehead came to rest against Damien's, their lips barely inches apart.

“Damien...” Michael breathed out his name as if it were a prayer. “Damien, what do we do about this?”

Damien exhaled deeply as he stared into the depths of those soulful eyes.

“You know how I feel.” Damien murmured against Michael's pert lips. “The rest is up to you.”

Revelations - Michael Stonebridge x Damien Scott

The hospital room was bright and airy with natural light streaming through the blinds that hung in the long window across from Michael’s hospital bed. The clinical white that coated the walls was offset by a burst of orange from the daisies that Julia had dropped off earlier in the day. They were perched in a glass vase upon the window sill, the colours vibrant, full of life.

Damien knew why she had chosen them, she wanted Michael to know that that was the way they thought of him after his brush was death. She had come close to the darkness herself more than once, she knew what it was like to feel the world slipping away, to want that. Julia had told Damien as much after the two of them had shared a couple of drinks after Baxter’s death.

His own bouquet of pink and white roses had been placed upon the small table at the end of Michael’s bed.

Roses for the English Rose, he had teased as he plonked them into the jug of water.

Michael had smiled at that, the edges of his lips tipping up into a wry smile as his eyelids had begun to flutter closed. He tried to fight it, the same way he fought everything else but, in the end, sleep claimed him.  

Damien had taken up vigil at Michael’s bedside in the uncomfortable plastic chair. His gaze came to rest upon Michael’s bare chest, watching it rise and fall as he took deep and steady breaths. The rhythmic sound of the heart monitors felt oddly reassuring.

The colour was starting to creep back into Michael’s skin,  the faint flush of colour blossoming in his features as the hours ticked by. Back at the facility the antidote had done its job, it had neutralised the neurotoxin that ravaged Michael’s body but the long-term effects…

They didn’t know if Michael would regain the full use of his left arm again or if his lungs would recover from the damage the toxin had caused. The next few days were critical to his recovery.

There had been a moment, back there in the facility. A moment when Damien thought he had been too late, that Michael was too far gone for the antidote to work.

The thought of a world without Michael…

Damien couldn’t bear it.

He had been in harrowing place when he had met Michael, full of hatred and self-loathing. He was used to being scorned, mistrusted but Michael had changed that. He had put his faith in Damien, shared his secrets with him and in return Damien found himself confessing things to Michael that he had never told a single soul. Their relationship was forged in fire and blood, but it had turned into something much deeper. Something more important to Damien that he had realised until he had felt Michael slipping away.

“Damien,” Michael’s hoarse voice interrupted Damien’s thoughts.

Damien turned his head to see Michael’s green eyes fixated on him.

“I’m here, buddy,” Damien said with an impish smile. “Right where you left me.”

Michael raised his hand, his arm trembling with exertion as he reached out and cupped Damien’s cheek. His thumb smoothing over the apple of Damien’s cheek and stroking across his stubble lined jaw.

Damien leaned into the touch, his lips brushing across Michael’s palm.

“There was a moment you know?” Michael whispered, his eyes beginning close once more. “When I could feel myself going and I wanted it to end. Better dead than broken.”

Damien swallowed hard against the ache in his throat. The fact that Michael had wanted to give up was like a kick in the face. It wrenched at his heart, twisting it until he could barely think. He could feel that anguish surging up inside of him, the agony at the knowledge that Michael had almost given up, that he had felt so hopeless.

“Then I thought about you.” Michael murmured, his hand slipping down to rest on Damien’s shoulder, squeezing gently. There was a tenderness in his eyes, one that soothed over Damien’s rampant emotions. “How I’d rather be broken and alive, than leave you to face this life alone. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Yeah buddy,” Damien said, a small smile ghosting across his lips. “I think I do.”

Our bed...

The one they had bought when they had finally decided to get out of the life and settle down in the US so he could be close to Finn.

Michael’s lips grazed his cheeks, kissing away the salty tears that had leaked from his eyes.

“You’re ok,” Michael whispered against the corner of his mouth before gathering Damien up in his arms and cradling him close.

Michael’s lips brushed over his hairline as he buried his face into Michael’s burgundy t-shirt, inhaling his soft masculine scent.

He was safe here with Michael, nothing could harm him. There was just the two of them, in their home, in their bed.

Everything else in the world could go to hell.

Coming Home - Damien Scott x Michael Stonebridge

Summary: Being with Michael always feels like coming home for Damien.

The hotel room was the same standard that Damien had become used to over his years with Section 20. A small, clean room with white walls and indifferent art upon several of the walls. He paused for a moment by the  window, surveying the view of the main road from the fourth floor of the innocuous building they were based in before turning his attention to the room’s main attraction.

The double bed was the usual, crisp white sheets with a burgundy comforter over the top of the duvet. However, that wasn’t what excited Damien about the room, it was the fact that his partner Michael Stonebridge was dozing in the centre of the bed, the covers drawn up around his muscular form.

Damien allowed himself to take a moment, to watch the peaceful rise and fall of Michael’s bare chest. The pang in his heart reminded him how much he missed this, how much he hated being apart from Michael. For Damien, it felt like coming home.

Damien stripped off his own clothing leisurely, tossing the offending items onto the plush carpet beneath his feet before he climbed underneath the duvet. His cool skin brushed against Michael’s warmth, he savoured the sensation of Michael’s body heat rolling over his goose pimpled flesh.

Michael’s mouth tipped up into a smile as Damien’s lips caressed his hairline.

“Did you miss me?” Damien whispered against Michael’s skin as he kissed a trail down Michael’s forehead to the tip of his nose.

“Some parts of you.” Michael responded turning onto his side, his large hand cupping Damien’s face.

His thumb brushed over the apple Damien’s grizzled cheek, smoothing over the soft stubble of his five o’clock shadow. Damien leaned into the touch, his lips brushing over the sensitive underside of Michael’s wrist, pressing a kiss there.

“All the important parts I hope.” Damien mumbled as Michael shifted closer.

Damien shivered as Michael’s bare skin caressed his own.  It had been weeks since he had been able to touch Michael, to kiss him and love him.

Michael was hard already, his silky length brushing against Damien’s throbbing cock as he drew Damien closer. He moaned out loud at the sensation as Michael guided Damien’s mouth towards his.

The kiss was everything that Damien had spent the past few weeks fantasising about and more. His lips covered Michael’s lovingly, his fingers threading through his hair.

He guided Michael onto his back, draping himself over him. He kissed a pathway down Michael’s jaw, they were brief and teasing, always promising something more. His teeth grazed that sensitive little area, that space just above Michael’s collarbone, sending Michael’s hips bucking against his own as he grunted with pleasure. Damien adored that noise, he loved having Michael writhing and moaning underneath him.

Before Michael sex had been about fulfilling his urges. With Michael it was about so much more. He used it as a tool to show Michael how loved he was, how wanted.  

His hand delved between the two of them. His fingers wrapped around Michael’s leaking cock, Damien’s thumb running lightly over the head, spreading the slick pre-cum.

“Damien.” Michael breathed his name, his head tipping back into the pillow as he arched into Damien’s grasp.

“You look so good like this.” Damien told Michael, his voice rough as his palm grazed over the shaft of Michael’s cock in slow, drawn out motions. “My hand on you, getting you off.”

His grip tightened just slightly on Michael’s dick as Michael fucked up into his hand, trying to set a quicker rhythm.

“Do you want more Mikey?” Damien asked him, grasping the slick head and rubbing his thumb over the sensitive tip again.

“Damien…” Michael growled, the white sheets balling up in his fists. “Stop teasing.”

Damien obliged, his hand stroking up along the shaft of Michael’s cock as he picked up the pace. The sensation drove Michael crazy. Damien could tell from the hitch of his breath, the way his hips jumped frantically meeting each pump of Damien’s fist.

“Come for me.” Damien murmured, his left hand skimming over Michael’s chest, his fingers pinching Michael’s nipple with just the right amount of pressure . “Let me see it.”

Those words mixed with that little tweak…

It was enough to send Michael over the edge.

His body tensed, his muscles tightening as he cried out, painting Damien’s fist in streaks of white. It was that expression that dazzled Damien, the one of elation on Michael’s features as he climaxed.

“Fuck.” Michael mumbled, his cheek pressing into the pillow as Damien’s weight shifted so that the two of them were lying side by side.

Michael cupped his cheek, his thumb trailing over Damien’s lips before he kissed him. It was slow and intoxicating, filled with the promise of so much more.

“Let me clean up.” Michael whispered against the corner of Damien’s mouth. “And then I want focus on you.”

“I thought I’d lost you today.” Michael admitted quietly. Damien watched as his thumb trace along the curve of the handle. “When you fell off that train…”

He trailed off, leaving the two of them sitting in silence once more.

“It was a close call.” Damien said finally, his gaze dropping to the swill of amber liquid inside of his own mug. He hasn’t touched a drop yet, he wanted Michael to have his full attention.

“Do you remember what I said to you in the hospital?” Michael asked him quietly.

“You told me you’d rather be broken and alive then leave me here alone.” Damien reminded him, his tone sharper than he intended.

The thought of losing Michael scared him. They hadn’t talked about what had happened in the hospital and Damien wanted to remind Michael that there was so much more to live for than the military, that he was worth more.

Damien reached out, taking Michael’s mug from his hand and setting it on the floor alongside his own.

“You need to know if I hadn’t survived today, I would have regretted not doing this.” Damien murmured, his fingertips gracing the line of Michael’s jaw tipping his head up to meet his gaze.

His lips brushed over Michael's softly, his thumb ghosting over the apple of his cheek before he began to pull away.

Michael's strong hand cupped the back of his neck, drawing Damien towards him. His forehead came to rest against Damien's, their lips barely inches apart.

“Damien...” Michael breathed out his name as if it were a prayer. “Damien, what do we do about this?”

Damien exhaled deeply as he stared into the depths of those soulful eyes.

“You know how I feel.” Damien murmured against Michael's pert lips. “The rest is up to you.”
