Title: Nothing changed
Author: Las
Pairing: Mat/Dan
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Dan got married but promised nothing would change.
Warnings: Slight crack.
Author's notes: I don't know how my characters keep ending up sleepless, tossing in their beds, and I surely hope this won't be getting monotone. *eyedart* Thing is, I've been having a few giggles over this TV interview with Dan... perhaps I'm slightly mean, and of course Kill Hannah's van getting stolen is NOT a laughing matter, but this is just to soothe the angst a bit. :)
Also, of course I'm by no means implying Dan is actually gay... yadda yadda... :P

Toss. And Turn. And toss. And turn. And...
Dan jerked away in surprise when without warning, his covers were lifted and a second later he wasn't the only person in his bed anymore.
"Mat??"
A whispered reply. "Shhh. Come back here."
"What are you doing??"
"Lying in bed with you."
"...I can tell. Why do you think this is a good idea?"
Dan wasn't nervous. He really wasn't.
"Because you've been fucking tossing and turning and sighing for about two hours now."
Mat was, for some idiotic reason, still whispering. Dan remained quiet.
"What's wrong, Dan?"
"Nothing is."
"Still thinking about that interview?"
"No." ... Okay, fine. "Yeah."
"Oh Danny." Gentle hands petted his chest, then moved around his body and started petting his back. "Let it go. You did fine."
"I did not do fine. Maddox couldn't stop laughing." Yeah, so he was bitter.
"Maddox was high. And still in shock."
"That's not just it, Mat. You know it."
"Well you did tuck your hair behind your ear in a very cute way. But that's okay, Dan, really."
"I'm not gay!"
"No, you're married to a woman, so you're not gay. Anyway who cares if someone thinks you're gay?"
"I care when they fucking laugh in my face about it."
"Maddox probably has a big gay crush on you and is too much of a pussy to admit it."
"Yeah, really, Mat."
"You never know."
Dan tried desperately to distract himself. Or maybe just Mat. "At least I mentioned the album, like you asked..."
"You did. I'm proud of you. Thank you for doing that interview for me, Dan."
Dan bit his lip. "You're welcome."
Mat's voice again dropped to the softest whisper. "Let me show you how proud I am of you..."
"Mat. No." Dan really tried his best not to sound panicked. Fact was, his dick had been hard the moment Mat's hands had first touched his body. It didn't mean he was gay. It just meant he was... well... he hadn't seen his wife in a while.
"Shhh." Mat rolled on top of him.
"I'm married!" No despair in his voice. Whatsoever.
Oh who was he kidding, Dan knew there was.
"I didn't forget. We both promised nothing would change."
"I meant- Mat!" Dan shuddered when his hand was captured, and as his ring was slowly tugged off his finger, Dan didn't know whether to feel bereaved or relieved.
"Keep it safe." Can't lose it. Can't.
"It's right here on the bedside table. Taking care of it."
Dan nodded, closed his eyes, breathed. And then just let it all happen. It wasn't just the fact that Mat's kisses were passionate and addictive, and his blowjobs were amazing. It was that a whole new world was weaved around those rare phsyical acts.
"I won't let you down," Mat whispered after Dan's hands had slacked from being tensely buried in Mat's curls.
Dan wasn't sure what Mat meant. He just knew Mat was right. He fell asleep with face buried against Mat's chest, and when he woke up the next morning his ring was back around his finger and Mat's breathing was steady from the other bed.
No, nothing changed.
