The trail of clothing littered across the house was still there the next morning when Bill woke up with Charlie's limbs wrapped around him so tightly he started to feel a little sympathy for teddy bears, and it was still there the next afternoon while they shared a bath long enough to make their fingers prune. It wasn't until the evening that they finally stopped snogging long enough to gather their clothing, get dressed, and order several pounds of Chinese take away.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to come next week to paint the upstairs," Charlie declared over a container of pork fried rice as he leaned back against Bill's chest. They were sitting on the floor again. "And maybe help you pick out a couch, and a kitchen table...and get paid for my efforts with more sex." He grinned playfully and leaned his head back on Bill's shoulder.
Bill took the invitation to lean his own down over Charlie and steal a deep kiss. Yes, they were brothers. No, they shouldn't do this. And no, there was no way he was going to stop now. If he had just admitted to himself that he loved Charlie sooner, then he wouldn't have had to go through such a whirlwind divorce. He understood everything too late, but too late turned out to be just in time.
"You sure your dragons can stand two weekends without you?" he asked. Bill knew Charlie's co-workers covered for him when he was off, and his boss was lenient. Charlie had told the man about Bill's condition, and ever since he was allowed all the time off he needed to care for his brother. Bill had resented that at first, but Charlie took advantage of it and they saw one another far more now than they had in years. Bill was willing to endure the blow to his pride for that.
Charlie laughed. "Dragons have been around longer than we have. I'm sure they can manage a day or two. Honestly, most of my job is just flying around, warding off poachers. There's hands-on stuff too, of course, and that's what makes me love it, but they're pretty self-sufficient for the most part. Kind of like you, really."
"I'm not a dragon," Bill frowned. He hated talking about the changes in him, but Charlie was the type to talk about anything to anyone.
"No, you're not, but you can sure breathe fire when you want to," Charlie teased. He squeezed Bill's knee . "Don't pout. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Even the wolf in you is still you."
"Sure, the worst parts of me," Bill groused.
"Maybe," Charlie shrugged. "But I love all the parts of you, even the worst ones, and who else will you get to say that and honestly mean it, eh?"
"Mum, probably," Bill answered.
They laughed about that, but the laughter trailed into silence. Mum. Dad and the rest of the family. How could they possibly ever explain what they'd found together to any of them? Bill embraced Charlie a bit more firmly in his worry.
Charlie put down his rice. "Bill..."
"I'll sell it," Bill said. "Learn Romanian and transfer to the Bucharest office. Be closer to you."
"Bill, not that I wouldn't love having you so close to me, but what are you really thinking about?"
Bill paused, not sure how to answer right away. "Everyone. Mum, Dad, all of them...and us. I won't sit here with Mum over my shoulder asking me every other day when I'm going to start dating again, trying to introduce me to every daughter of every friend she's ever known, and lying because I can't tell her that I'm shagging you. So, I'll sell it. I can make up some story about how bad I feel about making you travel so much. It wouldn't even be a lie."
Charlie turned around. "How many times do I have to tell you that you're not a burden before you believe me?"
"Hm," Bill mused, draping his arms around Charlie's waist. "A few hundred more, at least, since it's a lie. You know how needy I've become."
"I like it when you need me," Charlie answered, leaning in for a kiss. "I hope you need me for a long time."
Bill sighed, but didn't deny Charlie the kiss. They'd only admitted their feelings yesterday, and it had been wonderfully liberating. He was being too quick to cast curses on their good fortune. "Sorry," he conceded. "Getting a bit ahead of myself, I guess."
"Just a bit." Charlie grinned. "But you always did think too much."
"And you, not enough," Bill quipped.
"I guess that means we compliment one another pretty well," Charlie laughed, nipping at his brother 's jaw.
Bill shrugged. "Only time will tell."
"Mmn," Charlie answered as he cozied up against his brother. "So give it time, then. No need to rush to a decision. I'm good with secrets."
"You are not," Bill laughed, remembering how Charlie blurted out all manner of things when they were small.
"I'm good with the important ones," Charlie answered petulantly.
"Provided we keep you away from the firewhiskey," Bill quipped.
"Yeah, well, that bit can be your job," Charlie answered playfully. "That shite always repeats on me anyway."
Bill rolled his eyes and kissed his brother again. "Speaking of repeating things," he said, groping Charlie's bum.
Charlie answered with a pleased little moan. "You read my mind," he said as Bill cast the take away back into the kitchen and pressed his brother's stocky body to the floor.
"I wish I'd read it sooner," Bill answered between kisses. "It would have saved us some drama."
"I don't mind a little drama," Charlie answered. "If it all ends like this."
