A Long Trip Home
Nov. 2nd, 2009 03:38 pmThe door is two yards away but I can't move from the top of the stairs. It's been months, four or so, since I've been here, in this spot. Gone were the days of trudging up the stairs with my satchel on the way home from work because my building's landlords refused to fix the elevators properly. Gone too was the pleasure I had of returning to this apartment I paid for with my own money and not from my trust fund. I donated all of that to charity the moment I turned twenty-five and finished paying off my loans to school. It was two years ago. It feels like forever.
I'm not the same man I had been. I'm not a child anymore. At least, I want to think that.
I'm still clutching the photograph of my brother and I in our tuxedos. There's a smudge on it from my thumb and full of creases. I've not let it go since I opened that box containing everything that I am. Everything I was. I left Ireland without looking back. There was, there is only one thing on my mind. Nathan.
Nathan.
Nathan.
I know he's here. I've always felt a connection to him. Mohinder Suresh called it part of my empathy, to feel things like that. Funny to be so empathically linked to someone I spent my whole life pining for, who has always had a life to live without me. He's never had time for me. Never.
"Just walk, Peter," I whisper to myself as I move to a door I have not touched in a long time. I swallow. And knock. I know he's in here without knowing it. I almost lose the nerve to knock. Please answer, Nathan. Please.

He takes my cue, my go ahead, and slams into me so hard I see stars, so hard that I actually cry out. This is not in pain I am far too gone to separate myself from discomfort. It simply dissolves away into nothingness.
"God, Nathan! God, do that again!" Why do I have to be silent when I love how he drills me? I scratch up his back, moaning like any wanton girl I've watched in porno movies. I arch my back and he fucks me hard. I want him to fuck me. We've already made love the first few minutes, and now, now I'm too far gone for romance.
With a red face and swollen lips I command him to thrust harder. He does. And I explode over his chest.

I did it right this time.
"Oh, Peter, did you like that?" I whisper, kissing, biting at his soft white skin while I feel the tension build in my belly, my thighs tightening. God, I'm so close.
So close.
He knows it.
He urges me on, repeating my name, the first beautiful burst of orgasm burning through my spine, my body shuddering, my cock pulsing inside him, spilling myself into him.
And to my surprise, Peter's hand slides once over his own cock, still half-hard, and he actually comes again, nowhere near as violently as the first time, but beautiful just the same.

Date: 2009-12-04 12:14 pm (UTC)He's talking, stroking my hair, but I have no idea what he's saying. I can only hear our hearts, beating so wildly I almost think we're going to die, locked together like this.
I realize, as Nathan pushes a hand against my hip, that I am still crashing up into him, still milking him for everything he's worth. It keeps him hard though, keeps him inside of me. In fact, when he tries to pull out so that he can hold me, I almost cry, shaking so terribly as the tears well up that he is concerned.
"Nathan....Nathan....don't even go..." I want him inside of me forever.

Forty years isn't quite that old, but I still need to recover, especially after the intensity of that encounter. "I'm not as young as I used to be, Pete," I say, smiling. I roll us both on our sides, our bodies still pressed together, my arms still wrapped around him. I hold him like this until both of us have stopped breathing so hard, until our frantic heartbeats slow.
"Shh. Shh," I admonish him gently. "I'm not going anywhere, okay?" I wonder if Peter thinks I'm just going to get up and get dressed and act like nothing happened. Does he think I'm that callous with all my lovers? And even if I were, doesn't he realize he's the most special one of all, because he's my brother? The one I've wanted for what feels like forever?
Never, never leave you.
"I love you, Peter, you know that, don't you?"
