Warning : No Beta on this one so possibly lots of weird disorders. Forgive my Frenchitude. Ah and lj drives me nuts so the typing is weird also. Nevermind.
Eighteen months. You've been living with Casey for eighteen months.Yes,living. Not just sharing the same office, ranting about scripts,drinking beers at Anthony's after the show. You're talking about sharing the same bed, drinking coffee together in the morning, arguing about who's first in the bathroom....you know, all those things married couples do.
You had to move to his place. Casey, being Casey, proved to be very territorial. Besides, it was a lot simpler for Charlie.
Living with Casey is not always a bundle of joy. Casey, well, lets put it this way, Casey has outbursts.
Some of them are cute, some of them are a real pain in the neck.
Outbursts of sulkiness....yes, sulkiness.
This is difficult sometimes...Casey wants you at his side when he wakes up. Always. He stretches a hand, his eyes still closed, to touch you. He needs to establish body contact with you first thing in the morning.He has to wrap himself around you just to make sure you are still around. The thing is, you always wake up half an hour before him, at least.
If you happen to get up and disappear in the kitchen or the bathroom or anywhere as it may be, you will inevitably hear a plaintive voice whispering " Danny? Where are you?". If you don't answer, and most of the time you don't, why bother,you will soon be chased after by a very sulky Casey.
Sulky Casey is cute, especially with tousled hair. However, sulky Casey has a tendancy to become quite nasty.
You don't like nasty Casey.
Nobody does.
So you end up waiting for him to wake up. It drives you nuts because you like to jump out of bed and get on wih your day as soon as possible. But here it is.
Outbursts of jealousy.
Ah. This is something you suspected beforehand. It turned out to be much more complex than you thought.
Casey is not just the jealous type. Casey is the very jealous type. Its embarrassing, even.
You have to be careful.
Basically, its best for you not to interact with anyone. Especially when it comes to men. You are not supposed to approach women either...except Nathalie or Dana, maybe.
Of course, this a problem as far as your social life is concerned. Last week, for instance, was horrendous. You met an ex at a dinner party.
My, my, my.
You were only chatting with the guy, not even touching him for heaven's sake, and the next minute Casey was standing next to you with a possesive hand on your shoulder. Not to mention the fight the two of you had after the party on the way home.
" He was cruising you, Danny"
"No, he wasn't"
"Yes he was"
"Peter is an ex. Don't worry"
"You should not be discussing with an ex"
You gasped ' Really, Case? And what am I supposed to think when you have your monthly dinners with Lisa?"
He stared at you " That's different, Danny, Lisa is.."
" Your ex wife, Casey. Precisely."
"I don't want to watch you talking to an ex, Danny"
"Well, tough, Case, because I had a life before you, thank God"
He gave you one of his angry looks, his irises dark as charcoal.
" Was he good Danny? Did he fuck you? Did you like it?"
Christ.
"Stop this, Casey. Now. Or I swear I'll leave the car."
The next day, he apologized profusely.
Oubursts of anxiety.
Ah, these ones at least you know how to manage. Casey is very bad when it comes to medical stuff, such as routine check up at the dentist or harmless bloodtests. You have no explanation for this behavior whatsoever. Casey is very brave on other subjects, though..subjects that would scare you to death, like heavy discussions with Lisa about child custody if Charlie sees you in Casey's bed.
Well, now you book his appointements and you don't warn him.
Yes, because if you do warn him he will always come up with some good excuses to cancel. You also drive him, just in case.
You take early appointements so that no one sees you holding his hand in the waiting room.
Not that anything bad ever happens anyway.
Casey's teeth, like most part of his anatomy, are close to perfection.
You also take care of Charlie's medical stuff sometimes. You find it much easier with Charlie.
Unlike his father, he doesn't need the hand holding.
Luckily, Casey also gives you moments.
Lovely moments. So many of them that you tend to forget about the outbursts.
Like last month, for your birthday.
" Danny" he said with a mischievous grin "We need to do something special"
"Where are we going?" you asked, en route for JFK.
"Surprise" he whispered in your ear.
"But" you asked " Did you manage to pack my stuff? On your own?".
He laughed."Of course not, I intend to keep you naked most of the week end".
You gasped. " Really? Case?".
He smiled." Yeah, do you mind?"
"Case, this is not an option" you hissed.
"Don't worry, Danny" he said " I know how to pack. I do it for Charlie when he goes to summer camp."
Oh, I am well aware of that Casey, and you forget half of the stuff. Your son complains about that, and so does Lisa. A lot.
"I'm slightly nervous about your packing skills, Case" you sighed
When you unpacked at the hotel in Paris you found out all your pants were missing.
"That's ok" he said "They have really nice shops in Paris, you know. We can go shopping and I'll spoil you"
"Case? Are we going on a Pretty Woman revival or something?" you snapped
" Yeah, why not?" he laughed " I quite like the idea"
"I don't" you sighed " May I remind you that Julia Roberts is a slut?"
" Mmm a gorgeous looking slut if I may say" he added, his mouth on your throat " They get married in the end you know"
All in all, you had the time of your life in Paris. Listening to Casey ordering croissants, brioches and café noir in the morning
was fascinating. Mltilingual Casey is by far the sexiest thing ever. Speaking of sex, sex after breakfast was just incredible.
Of course, Casey being Casey again,insisted upon removing all the crumbs on the sheets before laying a hand on you.
There are also all those litle moments when Casey is just thoughtful.
These are your favorites.
Like this morning when your father hung up on you. He disapproves of your life, your job and of course of Casey.
"You just called your father, didn't you Danny?" he said when he walked in the office.
"How do you know?" you asked, puzzled
"Your mouth, Danny" he smiled. He looked at you with such tenderness that you felt you heart leap in your chest.
" I wish I could do more to make you feel better" he added softly " But since we are at work...I will just say it then"
You managed a sad smile. " Say what, Case?"
" You are a wonderful person, Danny"
You shrugged. " Well, obviously, my father doesn't see me that way..."
" Too bad for him" he murmured, gently brushing your jaw " I do".
Yeah. Eighteen months. You think this is possibly the longest relationship you ever had in your whole entire life.
Mind you, you've waited long enough and he knows it.
It was worth waiting for. Oh yes.
