30 days of Oz. Day two: Cuddling somewhere
(Yay! Two days!)
Prompt: Cuddling somewhere
Paring: Beecher/Keller
“Is she asleep?” Chris asks. He is sprawled on the couch, some hockey’s game on tv and a plate of nachos in his hands. He smiles at Toby and makes a room for him. “Come here.”
“Yeah she fell asleep, she was tired but still she wanted to remind me that you are much better than me to tell bedtime stories.” Toby curls up on the couch and rests his head on the chest of Chris. It’s warm, cozy. It’s how a home should be.
Toby talks again. “She definitely prefers you to me. You are her favorite dad.”
“I’m not. It’s just that you are her old dad, I’m all new with my bike, my dirty words and you know… my charm.” Toby snorts. “And you became a bit boring.”
“I’m not boring!” Toby pinches him scandalized. “Has you started to saying fuck when my daughter can hear you? Again? Her teacher will kill me if she'll use that word with her school friends. I’m already the father on parole for them.”
“That lives with a scumbag in his bedroom, I know.” Chris mutters.
“You don’t live only in my bedroom, you can go outside.” Toby smiles to him and with one hand caresses the nape of his neck. He hopes that with gesture, that smiles talks for him. Says I’m okay, I’m okay with what we have, what we are.
“She like me because I’m the new one, just for that. I’m not even good as storyteller.”
“Are you serious? You are the best storyteller I have ever know, and I’m a lawyer I can recognize someone good with words. You could sell an house with sea view on the desert just talking. You could make fall in love anyone with you in Oz.”
“Anyone, yeah? Like you?”
“You already know it. You just want to increase your massive ego.” He rolls his eyes not stopping to stroke his hair.
“Massive ego totally deserved because apparently I’m Holly's favorite and she has not easy tastes.” Chris teases.
“Like her father.”
“Nah, you are too easy Beech. You are a bitch.”
“Say that again!” Toby throws a pillow in his face, laughing.
“I love you Toby.”
“I don’t love you.”
“I’ve never loved you, not for a second.”
He wakes up and he is in Oz again. Better than that he is in a bed in infirmary, again.
“Are you okay, Tobias?” Doc Nathan asks. After two months in hospital she has stopped calling him Beecher.
He nods. Okay. Fine. Broken. In piece. Whatever.
“Tomorrow we will remove you the cast and then you could come back to Emerald City.”
Tomorrow, yeah. He just needs to know how to wait a little longer.
