Lunch Date

[doctor_kavanagh]

After Nick's visit, he couldn't get back into the work and it was almost lunch time anyway. So he left the lab to grab a few sandwiches and a couple of cups of coffee from the mess hall and took them to David's lab

David rubbed a weary hand over his face and slipped from his chair, rounding the table they'd been sitting around to throw his arm around Cal. He'd been up all night as well, and his shift had been switched from night to midday, so he was exhausted. Cal looked even worse, though--he couldn't stand to see either of them hurting--especially over one another.

He stroked a gentling hand across the top of Cal's bowed head and left his hand to nestle against the warm nape of his neck.

"you know he doesn't always say what he means, Cal--or mean what he says. You two were both hyped up--he was tired, you were tired and angry....it'll probably j-just blow over if you let it. Come back home with me tonight--I'll play go-between, we'll fix it, you'll s-see..don't let this little thing do too much, ok?"

He kissed Cal's cheek and leaned against the table, yawning. "I'm s-sorry y ou go left alone last night---I would have come home if I'd known..."

He smiles, feeling a lot better for having talked it out, strange he'd never have believed that before David, and leans into his lover's touch. "When did you get to be so wise?" He asks with a soft chuckle. "You're right of course. I'm sure this is nothing. Don't worry about yesterday. Dylan needed you more." He sighs slightly, his heart feeling heavy.

"had a good teacher" he whispers softly, bending back in to kiss Cal's cheek. He traces the smooth curve of his lover's cheekbone with his lips as he speaks, and ends at his lips, unconcerned about his lab assistants bustling about.

"but that didn't fix it....you're still sad about something, I can tell....wise, so I hear."

He pulls Cal by the hand into his private office and lets the door close behind them, leaning against the wall and giving Cal "spill it" eyes. "you're d-dwelling--you do that, you know..."

[doctor_kavanagh]

He grins at David's nearness and pulls David in for a long, smouldering kiss with a hand on the back of his head, his fingers trailing through the soft blond hair.

"Of course I'm dwelling, oh wise one. I have yet to convince Nick of his brilliant plan of yours." He replies chuckling softly. "Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine though."

David's hazy-eyed and pink-cheeked by the time Cal's done with him, his hair mussed in the back, his own fingers curling into Cal's ponytail.

"well I guess I'll l-leave it to you two, then....but I fully expect you two to be at home and deeply in l-love with one another by the time Jazlyn and I get home tonight--deal?"

He tipped his head to the side and ran his hand up and down Cal's back in long, soothing strokes, realising how long it's been since he and his lover have taken the time to be with one another.

"I m-miss you...we haven't...well you know...not since Jazlyn...you still like me, huh?"

He's teasing, and he pulls Cal in by the shirt to nuzzle up against him as he waits for an answer.

He fondly strokes David's blushing cheeks, with his thumbs, both hands wrapped around David's face. He pulls him close for another kiss and then nods as he backs away.

"Hmmm I'll have to let you figure that one out for yourself. Sometime when we have more time. Sometime soon." He promises as he slips out of David's grip and heads for the door.

"it's a date" he murmurs back sofly, waving at Cal as he leaves.

"I'll be home late tonight, I'm bringing Dylan his birthday cake.....love you.."

he smiled as Cal slipped out, and he exited the office, glaring goodnaturedly at the two female lab assistants giggling in the corner. They both blushed profusely and bent back over their work.
