Tim laughs breathlessly. It's not at Raylan, but at his own disbelief. Not only is this actually happening, but it turns out that Raylan's wanted it as long as Tim has. And yes, the words do a lot to his dick, but they also do a lot to his heart. And Tim knows the second it skips and stutters in his chest, that he's absolutely fucked.

Literally and figuratively. Because the truth of it is, his feelings go a little deeper than lust, in a way that he's categorically refused to acknowledge or address. Wanting to be bent over and screwed senseless by his partner is a lot different than wanting to wake up next to him the morning after. Sex is the easy part, and it's all the little feelings in between that complicate things. Tim goes to great lengths to keep shit uncomplicated. He sleeps with strangers, exclusively one night stands, never stays the night, and never invites anyone home because it's easier to leave a place than to kick somebody out of one.

If he were less drunk, he probably would've told Raylan to shut up and fuck him then. But the alcohol buzzes in his brain and the words for months make his ears ring, and his hand is running through Raylan's hair over and over again because he really just can't get enough of how it feels.

"You mean to tell me I could've had you like this months ago?" Not acting on this sooner is quickly ranking to be one of the biggest regrets of his life. Especially now that Raylan's skin is flush against his own, feeling better than he could've imagined. Tim's head drops back as that mouth moves along his neck, his breath hitching quietly in his throat when he feels those teeth against his skin. And when Raylan gathers their lengths together to stroke, Tim follows the touch with a lift of his hips.

When he speaks again, he cants his head to murmur directly in the other man's ear.

"Fuck me, Raylan."
