"It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you."

[crazyforyou]

Who: Gabe George and Ash Emmerson
What: That crazy little thing called love
Where: Gabe's bed
When: As soon as they arrived home from Paris

Gabe was completely out of breath, sweaty, naked, heart pounding wildly in his chest as he flopped back onto his pillow with a satiated moan. He could only laugh when his lover lay down on top of him and started to kiss his throat, despite the fact they had just had extremely epic marathon sex that required him to steal his brother's condoms because they ran out of their own. His arms closed around Ash and their legs tangled in together amongst the mess of rumpled sheets. "Just when I was sure I couldn't love you any more, you go and pound me into the mattress until I nearly forget my own name," he teased, panting to try to catch his breath. His hands rubbed over Ash's toned and sweaty back, and he was pretty sure he could die from bliss right now if his family wouldn't protest that loudly.

His family. "We're going to have to come up for air eventually to break the news, you know," he lamented and when Ash finally lifted his head to look into his eyes, Gabe lifted his head and rubbed their noses together with an eskimo kiss. It inevitably turned into another long, linger kiss to the lips, though, their mouths connected like their bodies still were. "Is that a no?" he joked against Ash's lips. "Will telling you I need to pee make a difference? Seriously, Rhett will murder me with his bare hand and probably something like a fashionable scarf if I don't tell him this soon."

Ash just wasn't ready to remember the rest of the world existed yet. He knew they would have to eventually, but he was so wrapped up in the amazing week away in Paris that climaxed with Gabe accepting his proposal on the Eiffel Tower. It couldn't be more perfect. Their week away had been just what they needed after Gabe busted his ass in his final year of college, graduating before the summer and Gabe had honestly just thought they were there to chill and spend some time together after it had been cut short when he had his nose stuck in a book for his finals. He hand't suspected a thing when they finally visited the Tower and even if it was common and cheesy, everyone up there had cheered for them and they had a line-up of people wanting to take photos with them (once one tourist revealed who Gabe was loudly and for the rest of the bunch to hear). Neither minded, it was all part of the experience, and Ash felt like he hadn't been able to stop smiling since it happened. Smiling or fucking his new fiancé...

Jet lag was beginning to kick in, though. He was feeling sleepy after the flight and long sessions of sex before and after it. He entwined his fingers with Gabe's and then pulled his hand up to his lips, kissing his shiny and very blingy engagement ring Ash had bought in Paris. "Rhett can wait a little longer, can't he?" he murmured and then broke into a smile. "No murdering the love of my life. That's seriously against the fucking rules. You're determined to get rid of me, aren't you?" He was just teasing, though and went to roll off Gabe. Only, instead of freeing him, he just pulled Gabe on top of him instead, switching their positions so he could cup Gabe's bare bum in his hands. "You can't go anywhere. I object."

Gabe narrowed his eyes a little and made a kissy face at Ash. "Mmm, I love it when you go all hotshot lawyer on me. You're really making me think I might have a roleplay kink. But not a watersports kink. I need to hit the bathroom, and then I'll be right back. Or you could always, you know, join me in the shower..." he added mischievously and dipped his head again to suck softly on Ash's earlobe. "I cannot get enough of you right now. I wish we could just stay in bed for the rest of the year and never move. Only, you have to go back to work on Monday and I start my new job. I know money isn't exactly an issue, but we do have to start thinking about paying for a wedding, right?"

He gave a reluctant groan. "I need to pee before I burst. I'm going to take you into custody for that shower, though. You taste amazing, I can't get enough..." he added with one last kiss to Ash's lips, that just ended up lingering all over again and making it hard for him to want to move. He couldn't believe they were engaged. He hadn't expected it or even seen it coming, but now it had, he just felt like everything had fallen into place for them. Ever since he met Ash, his depression had been pretty much absent, save for the times when he was studying like crazy and didn't get enough sleep. That's when it sometimes crept up on him, but it was now where Ash stepped him and put him to bed, spooning with him, and Gabe always felt better when he woke up the next day to start afresh.

"Pee, work and wedding budgets. You're one deliciously sexy buzzkill, you know that?" Ash laughed but he did finally release his hold so that Gabe could get up to use the bathroom. His eyes trailed over Gabe's naked back to his ass watching him walk through to the en suite, and then he got up to follow him. They had been dating a year, and even though they hadn't actually moved in yet, they didn't have any secrets. Gabe did his thing at the toilet and Ash got the shower running, yawning and stretching while he waiting for the water to get to the perfect temperature. "You know, now that we got engaged without really pre-empting it and are going to start thinking about the wedding, do you think we should think about moving in... or even not relying as much on condoms?"

The things that ran through his head when he needed sleep. After their shower, he was definitely going to drag Gabe back to bed to crash for awhile. For months now, they had just been going back and forth between each other's places and very rarely spent a night alone. Rhett had gotten used to having Ash around and he got along with him, which was lucky. But he wanted to make things more domestic now, and know that he came home each day after a long, tiring work day to their home, to their bed, and he could make sure Gabe wasn't overdoing it now he was holding down two jobs because it sometimes screwed with his head when he didn't get enough rest. Gabe finished at the toilet and once he flushed and came over, Ash pulled him close again, slipping his fingers through the back of his hair. "What do you say, lover? Should we shack up?"

Gabe had been in such a whirlwind of romance and love that his head had been lost on the practicalities of all this. The reason he and Ash had never moved in together yet was basically work and study schedules had clashed. Ash was a year and a half older than Gabe, so he was already graduated and working, and the year establishing himself as a capable attorney in the city had meant long, hard hours and often getting the shitty cases. He took it in his stride, but it wasn't unknown that if Gabe didn't catch enough sleep, it couldn't be rough on him. Ash staying up all night preparing cases or with his mind whirring getting ready for court had meant it was best he just kept his own space at his own apartment while Gabe stayed living with Rhett until he was done with college. Now that was over, and they were engaged. They had been in a committed relationship for a year now. It was definitely time for some changes.

"I think we should definitely shack up," he agreed with a chaste kiss to Ash's lips before he tugged him into the shower cubicle and closed the door behind them. The hot spray wet them quickly and the bathroom steamed up. It felt glorious, but there was no way he was there to just shower. That would happen in the process, but he had other ideas. He squirted some shampoo into his palm and then began to massage the lather into Ash's hair. "Without condoms, huh? You put a ring on it, now you want to take a rubber off it? I don't remember that line in Beyonce's song," he teased and brushed his lips against Gabe's. "The question is, where should we live? I like it here. It's a huge apartment, and it's close to the hospital if I ever get stuck working late. Plus, it's only a few blocks from your firm, where your place is a whole two subways stops away."

Ash let his eyes close briefly with a moan of contentment. Gabe's fingers massaging his scalp with the shampoo felt like heaven, and it was all these little things about being in love that Ash was smitten with. This was something he had always hoped for, always wanted deep down with a guy, but was skeptical about actually finding it. Turns out, waiting and being patient for The One was what worked best for him, rather than throwing himself around with casual sex just for the sake of it to fill the time. It meant he found someone who felt the same as he did, even if Gabe's was born of the horrible ordeal he went through when he was gay-bashed in his teens. They didn't have secrets from each other, and even if being together for a year was only a small amount of time in the grander scheme of things, it was the start of a lifetime as far as Ash was concerned.

He felt an excited flip in his gut at the thought of moving in with Gabe and making it all official. "So, I'll move in here, if Rhett's cool with it. I don't care exactly where I live, just so long as it's with you. Rhett and me get along, so it's not like it's going to be that awkward moment where you brother wants to shack up with a dude you hate. The place here is big enough." He opened his eyes again and teased Gabe's lips with another soft kiss. "Without condoms. And Beyonce can eat her heart out on our awesome sex life. But what do you think? We're going to get hitched, we're both clean, and we both haven't been with anyone else since we hooked up. I'm kind of tantalised by the thrill of the spontaneous sex we can have without a rubber," he added with a devious grin.
