(no subject)

WHO: John Murphy + Joseph Kavinsky
WHERE: The Meadows at De China
WHEN: 8/20
WHAT: Return from canon update
WARNINGS: Uhhh all things that go with k and Murphy, warnings in the subject lines



[ the Porter returns Murphy to the same place it took him from - his bed in the Meadows, with the walls that seem to give a grand view of the moon or earth's surface itself, albeit no longer in the soft pajamas ronan had dreamed up for him. He's back in the worn, old, drab clothes from home, ripped and torn and singed, weathered from a harsher world. Recently cleaned, thankfully, due to Becca's lab and the bunker, but a similar consequence - he's back to being a scrawny thing, not as well fed as de chima had made him before. That all, and, the sickly bags under his eyes that come with knowing you'll likely die violently soon.

It makes the warm weight against his chest a surprising comfort, one his half conscious mind takes to be Emori at first, Murphy letting out a soft hum, as he snuggles down against the body curled against his. It's the scent that pulls him into the world at first - cologne Kavinsky started wearing when he came out of the psych ward a new man, but the hint of his hair gel and body wash are still the same. Of course, he doesn't know it as that when he senses it, but it flickers an image in his mind, projected on the backs of his eyelids, a boy with soft skin and sharp eyes, lips much more tender than the personality attached, and an accented voice he'll never forget.

Murphy's eyes crack open, to look over the boy tucked against him, and he still can't remember de chima, the imports, the Russians, but he knows this boy. ]


I thought I dreamed you. [ Murphy murmurs, a thumb lifting to brush over Kavinsky's cheek. He'll realize later how funny that sentiment is, when it comes back to him what this boy's name is, where he's from, and who he is, aside from this bright spark in hidden off corners of his mind. Right now, his mind is still back in that hazmat suit in Polis, headed for the jeep that'll take them to the boat that'll take the to the island where he plans to die. Or try his best not to, and likely starve to death anyway. As Bellamy so kindly pointed out in stereo.

Maybe it's over already. Maybe death's come and gone and this is just some pipe dream his consciousness is left in. He seemed to remember dying feeling much more intense. ]


Am I dead?

increasingly loudly screaming

[the fact of the matter is

kavinsky had had a gun under his pillow and his first waking instinct is to put the muzzle somewhere threatening. it's a thrill of instant early morning adrenaline in his veins, that pops his eyes open before they're unblurred enough to see. lizard brain, that knows only threat assessment, the permanent possibility of death. it's one of the side-effects of being a monster: you know there are such thing as monsters.

the fact of the matter is also, he knows murphy's weight-- even when it's diminished. he knows his scent and taste. and crowding that first flash of panic, he feels a squeeze in his heart, a surge through his guts that fucking hurts. he blinks, and his eyes-- don't get less blurry. his fingers are tight on the gun for a long, silent few seconds, as if it's a 🐻 bear and not a deadly weapon.

the last time they spoke, they'd been screaming.]


Maybe, [he says. his voice is a ghost of itself.] That's something people come back from, here.

[there's a lull then, in that vague, intervening, in-between space. you know the space. peter pan mapped it in between sleeping and awake where you would remember dreaming, and beowulf found it between strength and death, in water, its raw and unbreathable ambiguity, where you might drown. clarke griffin-- well. she's found it between all kinds of grey spaces-- between right and wrong, our territory and theirs. the human mind struggles against ambiguity.

sometimes, with an adrenaline snap.

kavinsky's releases the handgun under the pillow. in the space it takes to blink or scream or bite through tendon, he snatches murphy's wrists. one in each hand. he's leaning over murphy suddenly, and leaning close. his eyes scanning the other boy's face, taking in the deepened hollows of his eyes, his narrowed cheeks. there isn't enough force behind the grip on the other boy's arms to make pain, but it's sudden, all right, and firm. fuck ambiguity.]


Murphy. [no more ghosts; kavinsky's voice is a solid croak. is he real? (this time. this time, is he real?) kavinsky's murphy's plastic pyjama buttons drag against murphy's chest as he stoops his rumpled head down. he's never seen anyone go home then come back. he's losing his mind. he's getting murphy back. he's]

I loved you and I thought you were gone.

[does he mean it? yes. whether or not it's true depends on a number of other things— if what kavisky's day-to-day experience of loneliness and boredom and want counts as love, if love itself accommodates the terrible things he's done. that he'll continue to do. lies of convenience, and more malicious ones besides.

but he means it, which is more than he could say for anyone in his life.]


Yeah. [he doesn't blink. if murphy is going to fall out of the world again, it won't be without witnesses this time.] Lynch let me hang out. Gave me some funny looks over the Internet, but he did. I've been in here mostly. [stress-smoking cigarettes on the window sill, practicing psychometry on every fucking thing between the door and the far wall. some of murphy's pyjamas will be rumpled when he opens the drawer, the shuffle of objects beneath the bed not quite as he left them. maybe he won't notice.

only love could hurt as much as that had; only love could have eroded enough of his life that a fucking sinkhole had opened in murphy's absence. only then had kavinsky realized he'd timed breakfast to murphy's late morning wakenings, grown accustomed to asking the hotel receptionist if the unnamed he had come in, gotten used to another body in his bed, another hand on his radio.]


You should use more fabric softener. What happened to you?

[kavinsky hunts across the other boy's face with his eyes, which are wide, pupils blown out. there were no times at all, this past week, when he had mistaken ronan's face for murphy's and the realization had settled in his stomach like concrete. if he'd been in love before, it hadn't felt like this. he doesn't think it was only the cocaine, either.

something about actually getting to know a boy, before you're willing to maim and kill and die over the minor missteps he makes in life.]


You afraid to die? [he asks. there's a slow reptile blink, but he isn't being cold. he takes one of murphy's hands and pulls it up behind his own neck. starts to sit up, taking the other boy with him, his tattooed fingers insistent around murphy's waist. kavinsky moves off his tummy and lap, but doesn't go far, caging the boys thighs and hips loosely in the sprawl of his own skinny legs.] You're afraid you're gonna die.

You want me to make you forget? [he isn't sure. murphy seems less interested in escaping reality than kavinsky has ever been, personally. it's

one of the things

he

lo

you know the rest.]

You know what this means. [kavinsky isn't done moving. he speaks these words with his mouth pressed against the flat of the other boy's belly, even as he works the heavier fabric of the boy's trousers off his hips, his ass, one pant leg off his one leg and then the other off the other. kavinsky runs his knuckles along the pale line of murphy's calm, then tucks a kiss into the damp crook of his knee.] Means you got nothing to go back to, right?

And you know I got nothing to go back to neither.

[it's a little awful, maybe. possessive? kavinsky balls up the removed trousers in his hands, throws them at the corner of the room. they cut a sharp trajectory through the air and thwap neatly in with everything else. the next moment, he's pulling on murphy's shirt, his shoes, his socks, disrobing the boy piecemeal until he's all unshelled parts and blinking eyes. kavinsky draws his fingers up the smear of hair at the top of his thigh, rubs them through the crinkly curls of pubes, fondly over his dick, like soothing a horse. he strips his own pjs off after.

and then he's turning murphy, curling up behind him, settling against his torso. spooning him, chest to back, although he'd probably deny it if anybody used the phrase. probably. it's hard to know what embarrasses kavinsky anymore these days.]


You're not supposed to apologize for getting jerked around by other people, sweetheart. You don't remember getting fucked off at me for shit like that?
pillz: (mild)

[behind the milk-white curve of murphy's ass, kavinsky is jerking himself off. brusque and quick about it, making himself hard with a dry palm. some things haven't changed since murphy went and came back, including his rather fucked up libido. but he wants to try right now. for murphy. for them!! and because he doesn't know what else to do.

some things, not even dr. chilton can change.]


There was that one, [he agrees. murphy can feel it when the other boy sets a hand against the dip of murphy's waist, reassuring him he'll be right back. he has to scrounge for some lube a second, is all. luckily there's plenty of lube hidden around the immediate vicinity of the bed, for reasons. no great mystery as to why.] There was also when your girl Blue Sargent flipped out in the living room, you remember. I apologized, you bit my fucking head off. [fucking. cussing means shit is real.] But you would've missed me too much, so you only stopped talking to me for like minutes. [there's audible amusement in kavinsky's voice, and then a crick of the plastic lube cap moving, the liquid sputter of lube.

kavinsky's mouth flattening a dry kiss to the back of murphy's shoulder.]
You remember that? [he asks, because he doesn't know about emori or clarke and he can't ask about them.] We spend a lot of time fighting.

[probably almost as much as they spend time fucking. both numbers could be larger, really.]

It's a color, [kavinsky points out, always one to be agreeable. but he's also coming back to murphy, scooting against his back, fitting his chest into the question mark curl of murphy's spine, and then he's moving his cock with his hand, tucking the head of it into the cleft of murphy's buttocks, fumbling a little from the excess lube and the tight fit of murphy's body. maybe if he were thinking properly, it'd occur to him that no penis has breached the privacy of murphy's body in-- months, likely, and he could use a little more prep.

but kavinsky isn't thinking about that now. all he's thinking about is getting inside of murphy as quickly as is humanly possible.]


Love you. [maybe murphy can feel the shape of it, the curve of kavinsky's smile behind the curve of his ear, the rough chuckle somewhere in the grain of his voice. a grunt snags in his throat the next moment-- his dick poking in, the head of it popping the pink rim of murphy's hole, but he rolls his hips back the next moment, makes the next thrust near as shallow. he presses his nose to the crook of murphy's jaw, something desperate about the seamy heat of it.] Love you, [he says again.] I-- fuck'n'—

[i don't know what that means, kavinsky would have said in some au. either to be shitty or if he were being entirely honest. i mean there are very famous songs about it; his confusion is a little bit understandable, at least.

sex has always been easier. and here you have it: kavinsky feeling the other boy's thighs spread open, the knee hooking over his own. and he ruts in nearer, pressing his open mouth to the back of murphy's neck and then the twisted reach of murphy's jaw, a haphazard pattern, toothless and tongueless, but dumb and open as a new kitten. shot from above, they'd make some embarrassing porn-- two pale boys, nearly hairless, spooning, literally spooning on a mess of blankets and the deflated remains of used up spongebob pyjamas. it's not a forceful fuck with the most radical positions. not at all.

but it's tight and warm and good, and kavinsky's hand coasts and flutters and flinches shut on the flat of murphy's belly.

who i am now, or who i was? he'll wonder, later. maybe even who else? but right now, he just cinches murphy's bottom lip in his teeth, just for an instant, stretches it a quarter-inch before it snaps back and he buries his face behind murphy's ear. and his only question is:]


How much?
pillz: (lounging (ladyfriend))

[personal profile] pillz 2017-10-26 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you talking about your asshole? [because he could be, it'd be convincing. murphy is as tight as a virgin, or as tight as virgins are supposed to be according to the fantastical butthole stories that gay lads like kavinsky have about virginity, and its a fucking delight, the silken flex and grip of him around his dick, the shuddering pleasure in its reception. suppose they die. well everyone fucking dies. but he isn't going to die until he finishes inside of murphy and that's something.] Oughtta be.

[murphy feels the curve of his smile on the back of his neck for a moment.

and then kavinsky's hitching him up. getting his dick out of him just long enough to move him by his hips, tip murphy up to rebalance him on the bony points of his knees. and then kavinsky cups him with his body again, finding the warmth of murphy's back with the brush of his own tiny nipples and the braced muscle of his belly. he fiddles his own cock with his hand, pressing it into the slicked-open recess of murphy's hole, and then

and then maybe he lets his hand fall back to the mattress, find murphy's fingers on the rumpled coverlet. finding traction there, instead of on the bed itself, as he starts to fuck murphy into the bedsprings, gauging the strength of his thrusts with the sound of murphy's dick knocking into his own belly.]
I like your bones, [he says, sounding like a serial killer, but not because he is one.] And you're all soft between them.
pillz: (sly)

Why would I tell an--yone?

[so they're doing it doggy-style. who doesn't love doggy-style? there's probably something to be said for staring into your lover's face and admiring the stars melted in their eyewater and the profundity of a mid-fuck pout, but also, there's a grace in the supplication of murphy's bowed spine that kavinsky finds equally inspiring. he hadn't known that he was capable of missing anyone as badly as he'd missed murphy.

his arm winds up wrapped around murphy's neck. elbow-down, loose, because he doesn't want to part from the other boy's skin or the centers of their balance locked tight, he doesn't want to get far enough to draw a noose proper tight. and he wouldn't anyway, sensing— on some level the frisson of nerves that have gone through his post-apocalyptic boyfriend the other times he's even courted that action. but it's unmistakably possessive. something like a yoke, a little like clinging. maybe less of a jackal, and more as cats bite down on each other in the stewy mess of heat.

and it means his mouth is at murphy's ear when he says,]
It's mine.

[there are a dozen other ways he might have rounded off the glibe exchange. who would believe me? it's just a asshole. if that's a fucking metaphor, that'd be worse. maybe that's how he would've punchlined it once before. but these days, murphy's secrets are his. he wouldn't give them them away unconsidered, whether they're about butts or not.]
