Fabrice Coombs, in the study, with an overly large magical tome. {For Demetri}
Fabrice walks home from his meeting with Demetri in something of a daze, still trying to process the fact that their conversation evolved from mutual concern about their missing family members into actual flirtation, and Fabrice thinks he actually didn't make a fool of himself, for once. He's seen Demetri over the years, of course. Both of them hailing from two of the oldest families in town, they always ended up running into each other at town gatherings, fancy masquerade parties, and the like. They've exchanged pleasantries, if nothing else, and they've run in the same circles, more or less.
Looking back on it, Fabrice realizes he's always been somewhat curious about the other man, one half of the golden Thornton duo upon which the town doted, even amid their numerous pranks. Dwelling on it now, Fabrice realizes that after running into Demetri in a personal way, said fascination has developed into something deeper, a series of feelings and emotions he has yet to previously explore for himself.
When he gets home, he goes about his usual routine, checking the herbs in the kitchen window, making sure the cats are fed, while his mind lingers on Demetri's smile and the vibrancy of his blue eyes. He winds up staring out the window in his kitchen for a good hour before he realizes he should shower.
He showers, and actually makes an effort to look somewhat presentable, with a loose-fitting, white shirt and the nicest pair of jeans he can find, the only pair without any holes in them. He even attempts taming his hair, though that proves futile the more he thinks about his earlier encounter with Demetri.
Restless after that, he makes to his study, briefly pausing to give each of his cats attention before reaching for an older volume in his collection, the one focusing on scrying. He hopes he can be of some use tonight, beyond looking like a presentable human being.
So he settles into his favorite chair by the window in the corner, opening the book on his lap as he curls into the chair with the memory of Demetri's hand on his for company, trying to focus on the words as he waits for the other man's phone call.

"The only person I would be comfortable with asking would be Moira," he admits, sadly. "I don't want to get my mother involved in any of this; I can't help but worry that she might be next to be attacked." It's a fear he's told few people outside of Moira, but it comes naturally out of him with Demetri listening, like maybe he'll understand Fabrice's feelings.
"They're the siblings I never had, in cat form," he tries to joke, knowing it's a poor excuse at one, but making the attempt regardless.
His breath catches again when Demetri leans in and kisses him on the cheek, spreading warmth throughout his whole face. His heart races with something deeper than attraction; he doesn't know what it is, but he knows it's something he's been searching for, even without realizing it.
"We could," he agrees, voice a tad breathless. "If you don't mind spending the night."
no subject
"I don't" he says with a rueful laugh. It's the truth of it. Between them James and he can usually master anything they need to, and he feels at a loose end not knowing what to do next. Demetri rests his forehead against Fabrice's, having already crossed some unspoken line. "If they went after June..."
That's the worst thing he can imagine. The youngest of the Thorntons, he couldn't handle it if something happened to her. It would be different than James but worse in its way. He took a deep breath, glancing to see that the cats had pulled back somewhat. "You should borrow mine sometime. Siblings, not cats."
"I thought you'd never ask," he whispers, pulling back to meet the other man's eyes. Demetri searches for something, sone reassurance that he wants this. There isn't anything he can do for his brother now, running half cocked into the night not benefitting anyone. He twists their hands together, pulling Fabrice's to his lips. "You aren't like most people I know."

"Thank you for the offer," he grins, moving his forehead against Demetri's briefly, "but somehow I can't see James wanting to spend time with the cousin of the woman he arrests so much. I don't know June, really, but she seems lovely," he tells him sincerely.
Fabrice thinks he just invited Demetri to spend the night and he thinks Demetri just agreed. He wonders when he got to be so bold; Moira's the only person who's spent the night here previously.
An odd noise escapes him when Demetri pulls their foreheads apart; he meets the other man's gaze, lets the brilliant blue of it wash over him. When he takes his hands and kisses them, Fabrice feels himself swoon a little bit, actual, honest to God swoons, but he manages to pull himself together to give Demetri's hands a squeeze after he kisses them.
"Neither are you," he tells him, voice heavy with both attraction and a feeling he can't name. "You're a good person, Demetri, and I..." He pauses, trying to think of how to put it into words. "I'm glad you came over tonight."
no subject
"You might like Daniel? He's fascinated by the curse and everything that comes along with it." He is teasing now, stepping up against Fabrice so their bodies are flush. "June would like you. Because I like you."
A good person? Maybe and maybe not, though he leans toward the not most times. A better man than his father, yes, but the bar was set very low. It aches deep that he's sure that as much as he's attracted to Fabrice - and god is he ever - this could never have a future. Could it?
The small gap between them is still too large. Demetri closes it, his lips soft against Fabrice's. He's been thinking about this moment all night, parting as they press together. He lets out a low sound, their hands between their chests, the cats and the spell forgotten. "Me too."
no subject
"Is he the friendliest of you Thornton men?" He asks with a teasing smile, bubbling with the affects of their exchanged words. He gasps when Demetri steps closer and brings their bodies together, close enough so that even air has difficulties flowing between them. Demetri telling him he likes him makes him dizzy.
"I like you too," he says, unable to keep it to himself. He really does like Demetri; he wants to be able to help him, to comfort him when he needs it. He's discovered this just this afternoon and evening, when he first approached him and when he arrived for the scrying spell. He doesn't know where all this is going, but Fabrice does know that he wants it to lead; Demetri emboldens him, makes him want more out of life. It's an intoxicating feeling.
He whimpers when their lips meet; he cannot help himself. He leans in, shivering at Demetri's low noise that runs right through his own body; he thinks he might be melting, as he tightens his hands on the other man's chest. When they part, his own chest is heaving.
"I'm glad," he says, leaning in to kiss him again.
no subject
"Good," Demetri's said that enough tonight, but it is good. It's dangerous too, and he wonders if Fabrice knows that they're playing with flame. They can deal with that later, Demetri thinks, as much as he's thinking anything right now beyond how much he wants the other man.
"I wonder," one of his hands comes free, Demetri tracing across Fabrice's jaw, down his neck to tug at the top button on his shirt. "If you'd look as good naked as I think."
no subject
"Yes," he manages in between kisses, knowing somewhere in the back of his mind how utterly delicate this situation his, them both being who they are and the town what it is. Still, some other inner part of him remains undeterred, firm in the belief that something good could come of this, even if it takes time.
But he doesn't have time now to dwell on those thoughts. Not when Demetri is glancing a finger across his jaw before moving down to tease at the buttons on his shirt.
"I..." He's all but panting now, overwhelmed by sensation when he remembers his scars. "Maybe not. I...still have scars."
no subject
"We all have scars. Some are just figurative." But his plans of conquest - if he could even call it that anymore as wrapped up as Demetri is in simply being there with him - are put on hold. He feels protective again, wanting tonwrap himself around the other man and never let anyone hurt him again. "Show me?"
It's asked as kindly as he'd asked Fabrice to tell him of it earlier. Yet he shakes his head and smiles, dismissing his own question. "You don't have to."
no subject
He winces at potentially killing the mood, but he appreciates the concern in the other man's face and the way he gently asks if he can see them, with such care that further warms Fabrice's heart towards him.
"It's alright," he says, moving to unbutton his shirt, peeling it off his skin slowly. "I want to." The fabric reveals the skin underneath as it falls away, two distinct, large purplish scars that resemble claw marks. Fabrice flushes at exposing so much of himself to the other man, but he doesn't shy away.
no subject
Slowly and gently, Demetri traces fingers along the edge of the scars, careful to not press lest he hurt Fabrice. They're larger than Demetri imagined and Fabrice is luckier than he even thought to still be alive bearing wounds like these. But they do nothing to mar the other man's beauty. It's something Demetri is sure shows in his eyes as he looks back up, the heat still there if somewhat subdued.
"I've never noticed how beautiful you are before today." And how lucky, he wants to add, but doesn't. That seems like tempting something, whatever it is that made those wounds. He unbuttons his own shirt, not wanting the other man to be the only one feeling exposed. Demetri isn't actually sure what he's thinking anymore when he lifts Fabrice's hand, holding it over his heart. "Like I said- Some of our scars are more figurative."
no subject
He shivers as Demetri glides his fingers along his scars, his touch feather-light yet certain enough that it stirs the heat inside of him. He realizes that he is incredibly lucky to be alive, something he's been working on trying not to take for granted. The reverent gleam in the other man's gaze makes his stomach dance about.
"I..." His face fully flushes at the words, unused to anyone using the word 'beautiful' in conjunction with himself, especially someone as gorgeous as Demetri Thornton. His heart feels so light it might float out of his chest like a stray kite. "Thank you? Um, you're even more beautiful than I remember," he tells him, because it's true. Up close and personal like this, Demetri possesses a complex beauty beyond his appearance. In the way he speaks to Fabrice and touches him, he has a beauty beyond words.
He can't keep his eyes from the other man's chest as he pulls down his own shirt. He's worked out, and it shows. Fabrice feels even more drawn to it, when Demetri takes his hand and places it over his heart, warm and alive beneath his fingers in a way that makes him never want to let go.
He lifts his eyes to meet the other man's gaze. How could such a beautiful man have scars in his heart?
"We can be scarred together," Fabrice says in response, offering him a small smile.
no subject
Demetri is used to hearing he's attractive, but those compliments pale beside the few honest, unpracticed words that Fabrice utters. He shakes his head in disbelief, cradling Fabrice's neck as he pulls him back into a kiss. His kiss is slow and deep, full of need of a different type that scares even him.
We can be scarred together. The words echo inside of him, his breath catching. Demetri doesn't remember ever wanting someone so much, ever feeling as if he might break should they not want him back. He breaks the kiss for long enough to meet Fabrice's eyes, realising that he hasn't been able to control what the other man sees in them for a while now. It's terrifying and exhilarating, he thinks as he whispers, "bed?"
no subject
When Demetri pulls him in for another kiss, Fabrice all but throws himself into it, clutching at the other man's shoulders as he cradles his neck, recognizing the need in the other man's hungry kiss and responding with his own, a deep kind of hunger that scares him with its potency. He lets out a moan, unable to keep his need to himself.
He feels bereft when they part, and Fabrice realizes that he has never felt so desperate for someone in his entire life. He realizes that he hasn't felt afraid of showing himself to Demetri since the other man entered his home, something that lingers in him as he meets Demetri's gaze, raw and as wild as his own.
"U-upstairs," he pants, pulling back a bit and grabbing onto Demetri's hand to lead him to his bedroom.
no subject
They nearly tumble once, and Demetri doesn't care, breathless and laughing and never letting go of Fabrice's hand. "This is crazy," he whispers when they finally make it to the door of what he desperately hopes is the bedroom. Demetri twists the tips of fingers into Fabrice's hair, kissing along his jaw and nipping at the arch of his neck. He wants to wrap himself up in the other man, to make him laugh and smile, shudder and moan. "But I like it."
no subject
They almost fall, but Fabrice manages to right them both, breathless and grinning like an idiot, never loosening his grip on Demetri's hand.
When they collide into his bedroom door, Fabrice can't help but laugh with Demetri, alive with desire and just having the other man beside him up here, nearly in his bedroom. His laughter becomes moans when Demetri starts playing with his hair, kissing his jaw, and nipping at his neck, which Fabrice just now realizes is particularly prone to attention there. "Oh God," He shudders, hands moving recklessly across Demetri's shoulders and back. He wants to lose himself in this man and his smile, his laughter; he wants to become a part of his life and make him moan all at once.
"M-me too," he manages in a husky voice, someone pulling himself together enough to open the door handle behind him and pull them both into the room.
no subject
That's the rest of the invitation Demetri needs. He loves the sounds Fabrice makes already and has no doubt as he walks them toward the bed until the other man stops, his legs hitting the back of it. Finally Demetri lets go of Fabrice's hand, cupping his face as he kisses him, urging him to lay back on the bed. He's right, he thinks, Fabrice is going to look amazing naked and beneath him, but as much as he wants the other man now he's also determined to savor every second.
Demetri lowers himself with Fabrice, breaking away from the lips he finds so intriguing and enthralling to kiss again at the curve of his neck, his shoulder, to nip and lick at the collar bone, moving very purposefully downward. He doesn't ignore the scars either, though seeing them so raw and bright still hurts something within him. Demetri drags his mouth along the edge of one before catching Fabrice's nipple between his teeth, his eyes flicking upward to watch the reaction.
NSFW
But then he's cupping his face again, and Fabrice is leaning into it, bringing his hands to tangle in Demetri's hair as he pulls the other man on top of him. He doesn't know what he's doing really, only guessing and relying on what he thinks the other man likes. He wants so much of Demetri, it burns deep in his belly, but he also yearns to commit every touch and kiss to memory. He wants to pull him closer, hold him for as long as time will allow him.
Fabrice gasps when Demetri breaks away to kiss at his neck again; he squirms beneath him, reaching to drag his hands down his hair to the nape of his neck, brushing along his shoulders as the other man moves down his body. He can hardly breathe, his face flushed and eyes wide with desire as he watches the other man. Then his teeth catch on his nipple, a feeling so novel and wondrous, Fabrice jolts, back arching as he lets out a series of moans, bringing his hands back to tangle in his hair, tugging slightly, wanting more of everything as he meets the gorgeous blue of Demetri's eyes.
Re: NSFW
Something makes him look up as he undoes them, some tension in his belly that he feels is echoed in Fabrice. It isn't that Demetri hasn't done this before, but this feels different. The simple joy he's taking in exploring every inch of skin with hands and then mouth so very different than the usual encounters he organises. He wants to learn every bit of Fabrice, wants him to know how important that is to him too.
Demetri teases the edge of fabric, kissing just beneath the scars, breathing warm against his belly as he slips his hand beneath denim, only the lightest of fabric between them now. "Alright?"
Re: NSFW
He plays with strands of Demetri's hair as Demtri runs his hand across his stomach, toying with hairs and freckles both. His chest tightens at the line he draws, right down to the edge of his jeans.
He meets Demetri's gaze and understands how much this matters to him as well; he gives an almost imperceptible nod at the other man, as if to assure him how much this means to him, how much he appreciates Demetri taking the time to explore his skin.
He shudders at the feel of his breath on his scars, at the edge of his stomach. It's a warm breeze, and it only heightens how he feels, wants. And then Demetri slips his hand beneath his pants, and he shivers, whimpering at the touch while a voice in the back of his mind reminds him that he has to mention his own inexperience, has to mention it now before anything else happens.
"You should know," he says, voice ragged and his entire body trembling, "I've never...done this before. But I want to," he insists, staring Demetri right in the eyes to show him how much he wants to.
Re: NSFW
Thinking of her and their arrangement only highlights the difference he feels in this moment. Fabrice isn't what he expected, though he's not positive what that was. When he says that he's never done this, Demetri pauses, searching those heavily lidded eyes for any hint that he's not sure. All he sees is certainty, and it makes him wonder what kind of crazy chance pulled them together tonight and how dangerous it will be to let it continue. Because even now as he tugs off the other man's clothes, unbuttoning his own trousers so Fabrice doesn't feel as if he's the only one exposed, he knows he wants to see the other man again. More than like this, too, Demetri wants to see him laughing, to catch him distracted with a book, to curl up and sleep beside him...
A very dangerous game, he thinks as he reaches to twine one hand with Fabrice's. "Tell me to stop, if there's anything you don't want," he says softly. "I'll be gentle," he adds, before looking down and seeing the other man nude. His breath catches, and his stomach jumps. Demetri follows Fabrice's hip, taking time as he bites and sucks at the ridge that leads so helpfully downward. He moves his free hand between his legs, nudging them apart but still just teasing sensitive skin, his cheek brushing up the hard length of him. "Promise."
Re: NSFW
He meets Demetri's searching gaze head on, finding courage just from having the other man here, and so close to him. He knows that this is moving fast, that some crazy whirlwind brought them together like this after speaking today. But he finds himself grateful for it, grateful for the chance to realize how much he wants to know Demetri, in a manner more than just physically intimate. He finds himself wondering what his favorite color he is, how he falls asleep at night - what he looks like in the sun, relaxing on the beach and the wind blowing through his hair. He wants to hold his hand as he makes him laugh and to know his strategy when it comes to Monopoly and chess. He feels himself falling faster with every moment.
He squeezes his hand when Demetri brings them together, noting the odd, uneven way they fit so perfectly together. "I will," he assures him with a smile. His own breath falters when he hears Demetri's catch, and he shivers with greater force as Demetri sucks and bites along his hip, whimpers turning into moans as they escape him. His chest heaves and he gasps as Demetri moves his legs apart, back and neck both arching as his hand moves to stroke sensitive skin that has never before been touched. He can't keep his eyes from Demetri, how kind and beautiful he looks in that moment.
Re: NSFW
There's an added weight to this, knowing it is Fabrice's first time. Demetri can't explain how important it is that he enjoy himself, even more than Demetri's own gratification. Which is a first in itself, not normally the type to be that concerned about his partners, not since those first few times over a decade before that had gone so wrong. That wasn't to say he was a bad lover, but he was selfish. It's the opposite of what he feels now.
He tries things, his mouth following his hand in quick enough succession. Every time Fabrice makes a sound of pleasure, Demetri tries to make it intensify. Only when he thinks Fabrice is ready (and it seems to have taken hours and yet only seconds all at once) does he press inside with a finger, his movements slow and his eyes on the other man gauging his reaction. He tries to find that spot inside of him, waiting until he presses the second before finally closing his mouth over his cock, hoping the rush of pleasure will beat out any pain.
Re: NSFW
He moves his hands all over Demetri that he can reach, wanting to touch him and give him as much pleasure as he's bestowing upon him. When Demetri starts doing unspeakably amazing things with his mouth, Fabrice starts moaning, his voice cracking with each new press of lips against his pale skin.
Then he feels the finger slowly, but surely, slipping inside of him. Fabrice tenses at first, unused to such a feeling. It hurts a bit, but not as much as he was expecting, and so he's able to breathe out and relax a bit, hoping to make it easier for Demetri. And then his mouth closes over him, and Fabrice's hips snap towards that delicious heat of their own accord, his mind wracked with pleasure and the sensations running through his blood like lightening. One hand clenches in the sheets around him as he moans, the other entangling in Demetri's hair.
"Oh God," he gasps, feeling wanton and alive as his head falls back onto the pillows.
Re: NSFW
"That's not my name," he whispers, the teasing tone back as he pulls his mouth away, as he moves to reach for his pants. He's never been a boy scout, but he thinks he should get a badge for always being prepared. Though if Fabrice thinks on why Demetri carries condoms and a slim foil packet of lube in his wallet it may cause a few awkward questions. That is, if he doesn't expect it, expect Demetri to be that way something he finds disappointing even though the subject hasn't been broached.
Demetri crawls up Fabrice's body, kissing his chest, biting at his nipple again. He uses the time to slip the condom on, to rip open the small packet and let the cool liquid spill into his hand. His mouth finds the other man's and he moans in anticipation when he presses with his fingers again. This isn't how he does this usually, not chest to chest, not looking the other man in the eyes. It's personal and it feels exactly as it should feel with Fabrice as crazy as that sounds. "Are you sure?"
Re: NSFW
"Demetri," he whispers in response, because the additional teasing only renders him more breathless, more susceptible to the shivers running through him. The other man's name on his tongue makes him feel reckless in a way he never needed to feel before now.
He isn't surprised by the appearance of the foil and the lubrication; he knows Demetri's reputation by now, and knows more that he makes use of these items on other men. As much as part of him yearns to keep Demetri to himself, he also realizes that it isn't Demetri's way, and he finds that he doesn't mind the idea, as long as he can get to know Demetri better himself, come to understand him and grow closer to him in the meantime, in his own time. Fabrice finds that he just relishes Demetri's attention, no matter how he might have to go about relishing it.
As Demetri crawls up his body, his movements teasing and slow, Fabrice brings his arms to wrap around his back, tugging him in closer as they kiss again, long, slow, and for Fabrice, full of a desperate longing. He writhes again when he feels Demetri's fingers, cool from the liquid now coating them. As he keeps his eyes on Demetri's, Fabrice feels about ready to fall over the edge of a cliff.
"Yes," he whimpers, rather than speaks, his voice strained with want and desires he can't begin to name. "Please."
