Built A Better Bear (For Love!)
May. 22nd, 2013 07:27 pmHe's been trying, and he knows Murdock has been trying too, but the longer the rift between them continues the more Face feels like it'll never end.
The idea had come to him watching Murdock fret over a small pile of stuffed animals at a thrift store - again - coming back empty handed when none of them "fit" with his current plush posse. Something special, something they could do together where there was no pressure to be romantic, but Murdock would know that he meant it as a genuine gesture.
Which is exactly what had led him to The Build-A-Bear workshop on a Saturday morning when it was overrun with children and exasperated parents with Murdock staring out the windshield as they pulled in.
"Surprise?" He smiles softly, looking at him from the driver's seat as he nervously taps his rings against the steering wheel - still getting used to the weight of wearing them again, if nothing as a reminder to himself.

"Tempting? should we talk about tempting?"

Date: 2013-05-26 04:11 am (UTC)He has to resist the urge to touch him, not wanting to distract him while he's driving.
"It has been too long."

Date: 2013-05-26 04:36 am (UTC)He dares a quick glance as they pull into the hotel parking lot, the drapes in the team's other room still drawn, "I don't want anyone else in my life. Not right now... hopefully not ever."

Date: 2013-05-26 06:52 am (UTC)He hands him his bear as he hops out to join him.
"You know, after everything that went down on the cruise, I don't think you ever did carry me across the threshold."
He's teasing, mostly, but he kind of wants to see if he'll do it.
no subject
Date: 2013-05-26 07:02 am (UTC)"But... if you insist..." He finishes with a low grunt, his other arm quick to catch under his legs and hoist him up with some effort.
no subject
Date: 2013-05-26 07:16 am (UTC)"You do know how to sweep me off my feet."
no subject
Date: 2013-05-26 07:18 am (UTC)However, reaching the heavy hotel door does pose a certain problem.
"Uh... little shift here, the key is in my pocket..." Hefting his weight, he slings Murdock over his shoulder in a fireman's carry to dig the key card out. "Still technically counts as carrying you."
no subject
Date: 2013-05-26 07:21 am (UTC)"I'll allow it."
no subject
Date: 2013-05-26 07:31 am (UTC)"Now, my bride..." He grins even wider, leaning in to kiss him. "To bed? Or shall I ravish you on the table?"

Date: 2013-05-26 07:40 am (UTC)"Now... where were we?" He cocks an eyebrow; "I'm pretty sure we were close to consummating our relationship - take two?"

Date: 2013-05-26 07:56 am (UTC)Of course, that means moving when he'd rather be kissing. Fumbling open his fly with one hand, he forces open the fastener and zip as he kisses him deeply.

Date: 2013-05-26 08:06 am (UTC)"Love you so damn much."
Pants. Pants are in the way.

Date: 2013-05-26 08:11 am (UTC)"Love you..." he groans, refocusing his attentions on Murdock's jeans.
no subject
Date: 2013-05-26 04:22 pm (UTC)"Easy there, tiger."
He shimmies out of his jeans, followed quickly by the shirt.
