let's make this moment a crime
tom conrad / william beckett, 397 words
they see each other at a party.
tom pretends he doesn't see william at first but there is a moment where their eyes meet and he has no choice but to lift his hand and wave. bill gives him a smile in return and that's all it is.
seven days later, tom opens his door and william stumbles into him, smiling the same way and smelling of jacks and vodka and something that might be absinthe. he wraps his arms around tom's neck while they stand in the doorway, not caring about the snowflakes in his freshly cut hair and the way they are melting, dripping down his neck and sliding across his shoulders. he isn't wearing a jacket and when tom lets him in, he shivers as though the apartment's warmth is harsher than the wind outside.
it doesn't take them long to get reacquainted with one another. the walk down to tom's bedroom is short and even in the dark, they know each other so well.
william falls onto the bed and breathes hot against the skin at tom's neck. "i'm drunk," he points out.
tom sighs, stops himself from peeling off william's cold, damp shirt and shakes his head. "alcohol makes you--" he starts, but bill pulls him into another harsh kiss.
"it makes me bold," he states, enunciating his words though they are still slurred and melting together. he presses his lips against tom's and pulls him down so that they are forced together as they gasp for breath. "i don't want anything from you," william admits sadly, his fingers tracing the lines of tom's jaw, his neck and the jutting bones of his clavicle. "i just want every bit of you to want me."
tom closes his eyes and nods, his hands finding their way under the clinging fabric of william's shirt to slowly take it off and toss it into a corner of the room. he can feel bill's heartbeat keeping time with his own under the smooth expanse of skin at his chest.
even in the dark, they know each other so well.
