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.

"I wouldn't say that." Every gasp that he pulls from Fabrice, every willing sound and movement is heady. When they other man teases him, he smiles, kissing him yet again, not wanting to part yet.

"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."

Demetri wishes this were his place so he could tug Fabrice to his bed. So he could press the other man down beneath him and undress him slowly. It's more shocking a thought than any mention of scars, his rooms a sanctuary only his siblings venture into.

"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."

It doesn't kill the mood as much as alter it, at least that's how it seems to Demetri. "That's no knife-" he says softly, a hand hovering over one of the fairly newish marks. His mouth pulls tight but in concern and not displeasure.

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."

"They're idiots," he says sadly, wondering why anyone would buy into such a lie. Magic, probably, and the inability to accept it. If these scars relate to James' disappearance then he worries more for his brother, even if he's impotent in that area of his life, unable to do more than wait and rely on others to help.

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?"

It's a trip that should only take a few moments, if it weren't for the fact that Demetri can't keep his hands off of Fabrice. He feels like he's aching every time they pull apart, and he stops them on the stairs, pushing him against the wall to kiss him again, to run a hand up Fabrice's side, to press together only to pull apart and repeat it a few steps later.

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."

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.

There's a way Fabrice flushes and blanches as Demetri touches him that he finds as intoxicating as the sounds that escape him. His chest is paler than Demetri's own, and amidst soft hair are still a few of the freckles he's become so infatuated with. Demetri rests his cheek on Fabrice's chest, drawing a line from one to another. It leads across his stomach, then back finally (after what seems like ages of dragging his hand over soft, pale skin) down to the line of the other man's jeans.

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?"

That's a surprise and yet not. Fabrice has never been one to stand in the limelight, and being a Coombs and shy - even a bit different - had to be a difficult combination. Demetri knows the lengths he's gone to in order to hide the truth from his father and family. Sometimes he thinks he's lucky to have a friend in Lana, and access to a place where no questions are asked.

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."

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.

Demetri has been thinking about this all night, ever since they ran into each other in the street. It's been worth it, but he's not willing to be done yet as much as the way he's making Fabrice writhe is sending waves of heat through him.

"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?"

"Fabrice," he's been holding off on saying the other man's name until now. Until his moment where he feels himself inside of him. Demetri is deliberate, forcing himself to not push how he wants to. It's insane and intense, moreso than he's been imagining it. But it's something he can only keep to for so long, each time he buries himself deeper, moves slightly faster.

His kisses are near-frantic, a hand finding Fabrice's yet again and pressing it back into the bed over their heads, holding it there. He's losing control, and not in the way that he usually does. Fabrice's mouth on his own, his whimpers and cries, they're overwhelming. There's no artifice to the other man, and because of that Demetri can keep his own walls in place either. He doesn't want to. "You-" he whispers and cries, the two blending together. "You are amazing."

There's little value to the love of many. It was a house of cards, ready to tumble down at the first gust of wind. Being rich and powerful earned him enemies, and his position with the mayor gained him toadies. The two groups overlapped and intermingled until the only people Demetri trusted were his siblings. It meant that even though he was always surrounded by acquaintances and those who wanted him for his name and all that it entailed, he was rarely around friends.

Tonight was different. Fabrice wasn't an ally or an enemy, and he also wasn't someone who only wanted Demetri for the benefit it might bring. He was smart enough, Demetri hoped, to see the complications that this could bring to both their lives. Yet he believes that Fabrice is here in spite of all of that. Because of a few flirtatious words and touches that had set them both afire.

When he can't hold on any longer, Demetri gives in. He cries out, still moving inside of Fabrice, the last few strokes the deepest. It's all over too quickly, though his laboured breathing and sweat slick chest tell him otherwise.

This is the moment when everything changes. When he doesn't pull away and fish for his clothes, or ask where the shower is so he can clean up before he goes. Demetri is giddy already from the sex, and pulling back just enough to twist them onto their sides amplifies that feeling.

He touches Fabrice's face as he did earlier tonight on the street. Only this time he trails the tips of his fingers across his lips, swollen from kissing and even more attractive. "Yes," he says with s smile, aching where he's pulled away from the other's body, twisting their legs together, lying face to face. "Yes, it was."
