Title: A Firm Hand
Series/Universe: A Firm Hand
Pairing/Characters: Don/Ian
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 100
Spoilers: Sniper Zero
Summary: Ian knows what Don needs when he's in that dark place again
Notes/Warnings: Read the disclaimer on my LJ
Hands reach out, to soothe, to console, but that's not what Don wants right now.
He brushes them away, refusing the respite they offer.
The cordite still lingers, the stench of violence staining his hands - lethal hands that have taken yet another life today.
Don once dreaded losing himself when his kills got into the double digits.
Then he met Ian.
As he heads to his car a hand reaches out, grasping his bicep hard - almost hard enough to bruise.
Don sinks into Ian's firm touch.
This is what he needs.
This is the only person who understands.
