[Just a typical day. Here's Alan curled up on the couch with the newspaper in one hand and a cup of tea in the other balanced on his knee. He's just thinking a bit, maybe he should look into a job just to pass the time and help Eric out a bit.]

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric comes into the room, looking shaken. He flips closed his NV and slips it into his pocket.]

Alan?

Have you been on the network?

[amongthethorns]

[He tilts his head looking over at him away from the paper.]

Network? No. Not today I don't make a habit of it.

[A frown. Obviously something's not right.

What's going on?

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric sits down and puts his hand over Alan's.]

Something happened. I didn't want you to learn of it on the network...

[amongthethorns]

[Oh this has to be serious. He'll shift reaching and gripping his hand.]

So tell me...

[Have a brave smile and an encouraging hand squeeze.]

Please, Eric.

[ochitashinigami]

[He takes a deep sigh and decides to just spit it out.]

Doctor Xavier died... he was killed in, some kind of accident...

[amongthethorns]

But...

[And he's frowning, obviously upset but it's more than that.]

We just saw him and he was fine.

[And just like that he huffs. It's not his place to be upset really he didn't know the doctor that well. Eric on the other hand. He sighs leaning closer to Eric seeking to offer confort.]

Are you... I mean you were closer- how are you holding up?

[ochitashinigami]

I.. I know... He wasn't ill, Alan. It was some kind of explosion.

[He gives a sad smile. Alan's still thinking of him, even now.]

I'm fine, Alan. I just... he was helping to take care of you.

[amongthethorns]

Still... regardless of how he seemed to be the kind that would be spared.

[Says the reaper who gave the most exceptions and spares in the department. But maybe things didn't work that way here.]

But there is another doctor isn't there? I know it's upsetting but don't give up hope.

[What is he saying? Hope. It wasn't something he had much of but Eric did and he didn't want that to vanish.]

[amongthethorns]

[Those words had stunned him into silence the rest of the walk back to the apartment but he held tight to Eric. Soon they are back at the apartment and he slips in first. He'll stop hanging his suit coat up, his tie shoved in one of the pockets. He'll let Eric follow him in and close the door. Once the door closes and the lock slides into place his lips twitch forming a smirk and he motions Eric to him with a gesture of his finger.]

I'm glad to hear that. Really glad.

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric follows the gesture. He shudders a little, almost feeling like its the first time. He smiles a little, knowing he wouldn't give anyone else control like this. He smiles though as he approaches Alan.]

[amongthethorns]

[He leans up fingers going after Eric's shirt buttons. His lips brushing against Eric's a kiss not unlike the one in the bar but this time he doesn't break it, if anything he pulls him closer deepening it; seeking it make up for making the other so brief. Hands brush and push at his shirt guiding it open so that he can touch bare skin, drawing his hands along his chest.]

[ochitashinigami]

[The touch makes Eric suck in his breath. He stays still, letting Alan have his way.]

I'm yours. I've always been yours.

[He whispers against Alan's lips.]

[amongthethorns]

[His lips twitch against Eric's at those words. It warms his heart and sends a fluttering through his entire body. His hands slide down to his abdomen, following the planes of his body then work at his belt. When he speaks again it's in a steady sure voice because he believes this now with absolute certainty. His words are full of sincerity, apparently a bit of rum in him gets rid of things like fear.]

And I was born for you. To be at your side, to be yours.

[His lips leave Eric's, trailing light kisses over his jaw, his neck- working his way down. By the time his mouth reaches his neck he's added in nipping and playful biting to the list of things his mouth is doing as he frees the belt; pulling it free before letting it fall to the ground at his feet.]

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric straightens his chin and his shoulders, standing stiff and erect, giving Alan access to him. It feels funny to give over, but he does. Only the slight nips bring a reaction from him, making him flinch and shudder.

He swallows as his belt hits the ground.]

Are you going to get undressed?

[His voice is tight and hoarse.]

[amongthethorns]

[He grins slightly, a quirk of his lips brings out a smirk at those shudders. He really does need to learn Eric's body and all those hot spots; there's no time like the present. He soothes the nips and bites with teasing passes from his tongue.]

There's a certain advantage to having you bare to my touch and my eyes while I'm still dressed. So the suit says on.

[Alan had to hand it to Eric, he was showing remarkable self-restraint. By now he knew he'd be begging for more than this. He pressed a light kiss to his chest just over his heart before his mouth moved lower.]

[ochitashinigami]

[It feels like the first time. Why does it feel like he's a virgin and this is the first time anyone ever... He swallows hard. Self control is what he has left to give. At the kiss over his heart, Eric sucks in his breath.]

Whatever you want. You can have whatever you want... anything...

[His voice is barely more than a whisper.

He doesn't deserve this. He's not good enough. But, this is Alan, and if Alan wants it, and he can give it, Alan will have it.]

[ochitashinigami]

[The pair decide to simply manifest from the sidewalk outside the hospital door, to the apartment. But, the journey leaves the weakened Eric a little dizzy. When they arrive, Eric sways on his feet and grips Alan's shoulder.]

[amongthethorns]

[He tightens his hold on Eric. Alan stills for a moment to adjust his bearings, still he found that method of travel a bit disorienting. He moves and eases Eric down onto the couch with care.]

The bedroom is a bit much to try for right now. Just relax here a while. At least you got to come home where I get to be the one to care for you.

[He brushes Eric's hair from his face smiles.]

[ochitashinigami]

I'm all right. I can make it to the couch...

With a bit of help, maybe.

[He kisses Alan on the top of the head.]

[amongthethorns]

You're so lucky that the couch is comfortable. Then again compared to those beds the floor might be just as good.

[He laughs and gives his head a little shake.]

I'm supposed to baby you not the other way around.

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric shifts his shoulders, making himself comfortable on the couch. It feels good, and the familiar sight and smells of the apartment, as well as Alan's presence, makes him relax.]

I'll tell you what, let's take turn. [He chuckles.]

[amongthethorns]

[He sighed softly at Eric and shook his head reaching to ruffle his hair lovingly.]

Take turns? Actually, I thought that was what we were doing? This is pay back from the universe for all those times you've had to take care of me. I get to fuss over you now.

[And he's glad for that chuckle and for being able to bring Eric home - finally. He'll help Eric get comfortable, get him out of his shoes at the very least.]

Did you need anything? A drink or a blanket?

[ochitashinigami]

Both, if it's all right with you. [He tries not to sound pathetic, but fails.]

[amongthethorns]

[He smiles and kisses his forehead gently.]

Anything specific? Do you want something to eat too? Maybe crackers or some soup?
