Themeset Gamma
Rating: G to R
#01 - Ring
It catches the light, reflects it and Remy wonders if perhaps he's making assumptions; yet he hopes that Bobby will take the ring the way it's meant.
#02 - Hero
"I'm no hero," Remy whispers, trying to ignore Bobby's faith in him, because he's not sure he can live up to that; he's not sure anyone can live up to that.
#03 - Memory
Bobby closes his eyes and smiles as the memory of their first kiss fills his mind and he knows that Remy is smiling for much the same reason.
#04 - Box
They always try to put him in a nicely labeled box, all of them; except for Bobby, who seems to know that thinking outside the box is so much more fun.
#05 - Run
Every time Remy returns from his morning run, Bobby watches him, watches the sweat soaked clothes cling to the lean, muscular body and one of these days, he'll answer the questioning look in those devilish red eyes.
#06 - Hurricane
He's a force of nature, is the thief, a regular hurricane; the way he's blown into Bobby's life and turned everything upside down, the way he's blown all Bobby's thoughts inside out, the way he's whirled his way inside Bobby's heart.
#07 - Wings
"I may not have wings like Warren," Bobby says to him, as they lie in bed, "but I still feel like I'm soaring under the bluest skies."
#08 - Cold
It sometimes strikes Remy as a show of the universe's twisted sense of humor that when he wakes, shivering from nightmares about the freezing Antarctic cold where he was left for dead, he finds the warmth of life in the arms of a man whose powers can turn the air to ice.
#09 - Red
Bobby's been dreaming of those red eyes for a long time now and as he sits down opposite Remy at the breakfast table, feeling said eyes following his every move, he promises himself that today he'll ask the Cajun.
#10 - Drink
"Don' you t'ink you've 'ad enoug' t' drink?" Remy asks him as he helps a drunk Bobby into bed, trying not to give into the affectionate groping that Bobby is giving him.
#11 - Midnight
It's midnight, the witching hour and Bobby's not in his own bed; he's standing at the foot of Remy's, watching the other man faking his sleep and he wonders what will happen when he slips under Remy's sheets.
#12 - Temptation
It's pure temptation, an invitation to sin, watching Bobby in the morning, shuffling around the kitchen, drinking his milk so he leaves a milky white mustache on his upper lip and Remy wonders what Bobby might do if he offers to lick it off.
#13 - View
View's great, it's absolutely fabulous, Bobby thinks to himself as he watches Remy working out in the gym.
#14 - Music
Strains of music weave in and out of the nearly empty mansion on Greymalkin Lane where in one of the small living rooms, Remy is trying to teach Bobby how to dance; or it's possible, Bobby muses, that Remy is trying to seduce him -- either way, Bobby's not complaining.
#15 - Silk
An impish grin crosses Remy's face as he ties a silk scarf over Bobby's eyes, and yet another one around one wrist, fastening it to the bed; and his smile widens as he hears the hitch in Bobby's breathing.
#16 - Cover
Remy smiles as he shifts the cover he's put over the book he's reading, letting Bobby catch a glimpse of the title; and he's not disappointed at the flushed cheeks, although he knows he'll pay later for sitting in the living room, with the rest of the team around, reading the gay kama sutra.
#17 - Promise
He'd made a promise, Remy thought to himself as he gently turned down the young woman's interest and when he turned around and found Bobby watching him, he knew he'd made the right decision.
#18 - Dream
"This has to be a dream," Bobby mumbled as he wallowed in the hazy feel of post coital bliss -- then yelped as Remy pinched his ass with an impish chuckle.
#19 - Candle
Remy lit another candle as he kept his eyes on Bobby who was watching him intensely from the bed.
#20 - Talent
It takes talent being a thief, but it takes a much greater kind of talent to love and Remy is dead-set on getting it right this time, because he's not sure he can ever handle seeing anything but love in Bobby's eyes.
#21 - Silence
Too often silence has seemed tense to Remy, but he loves this kind, the kind he has with Bobby as they lay naked and sweaty on the bed, arms around each other.
#22 - Journey
It's a journey for them both, getting from acquaintances, to team mates, to friends and then further, to touch and to sleep together, but it's a journey that Remy hopes will never end.
#23 - Fire
It's odd that a man who can freeze the entire room, freeze a body, has a touch that feels like fire against Remy's skin.
#24 - Strength
He should have the strength to push Remy off him, but no matter where he looks, he can't find it.
#25 - Mask
He's seen the mask that Remy wears around their team mates, but he's pretty sure he's the only one who's seen Remy's face without any walls.
#26 - Ice
"I create ice, I don't normally melt it," Bobby admits, though when he places his hand over Remy's heart, the smile tells him otherwise.
#27 - Fall
He'd never thought that when he'd fall, it would be for the thief with his eerie red eyes and infuriating mouth.
#28 - Forgotten
Some days he feels as if they've all forgotten him and that's fine, as long as he's got Bobby to find him again.
#29 - Dance
Bobby's head falls back as Remy's fingers dance across his skin, leaving a trail of fire in their wake.
#30 - Body
Bobby's been watching that enticingly flexible body for a long time now, and he's pretty sure Remy knows and doesn't mind.
#31 - Sacred
Remy holds these few stolen hours between dusk and dawn sacred as he holds onto Bobby's surprisingly warm body.
#32 - Farewells
Remy knows all about farewells, but Bobby's the only one who's ever taught him about 'hellos'.
#33 - World
Bobby looks at him as if Remy's offered him the world, when all he's given Bobby is himself.
#34 - Formal
He tries to keep Bobby a casual acquaintance, a team mate, so it shows how weak he is when Bobby comes to his room at night and Remy doesn't turn him away.
#35 - Fever
Bobby doesn't quite know what to do about the feelings and urges that run like a fever through his body; all he does know is that Remy's touch is cool and soothing.
#36 - Laugh
Every time Remy thinks he can handle it, that his walls are back up, all Bobby has to do is laugh so carefree and they come tumbling back down.
#37 - Lies
Remy has had reasons for telling and living his lies in the past, but he's never had someone like Bobby who makes him crave the truth.
#38 - Forever
Remy's never wanted 'forever' before, but he can't say no when Bobby offers it with that shy smile of his.
#39 - Overwhelmed
He's been overwhelmed by a feeling he can't quite figure out, but it isn't bad, it isn't bad at all, he muses as he watches Bobby sleeping in his bed.
#40 - Whisper
Remy has never heard anyone whisper his name that way before, but he knows he wants to hear it again and again and ...
#41 - Wait
Remy forces himself to wait as he stands among his team mates, all welcoming Bobby home, because he will have his own opportunity, later, in private.
#42 - Talk
There's talk, gossip, Remy knows that and he knows that some of them think he seduced Bobby, charmed him into his bed -- only Remy and Bobby know the truth.
#43 - Search
Bobby thinks he'll have to search forever to find that one right person, but this morning, in the kitchen, he found him, nursing a cup of strong, black coffee, reading the Sunday morning paper.
#44 - Hope
They say that where there's life, there's hope, so Bobby watches Remy and hopes.
#45 - Eclipse
Everyone else is occupied with watching the solar eclipse, but Bobby can't be bothered; he's far more into the blowjob Remy's giving him.
#46 - Gravity
There's no gravity on the Shi'ar ship at the moment, a minor glitch, they said; a fabulous opportunity says Remy as he strips a laughing Bobby of his clothes, floating weightlessly in their quarters.
#47 - Highway
The highway's disappearing under the hood of the car, being eaten up and spit back out and Remy's smiling as Bobby shifts in his seat, snoring a little.
#48 - Unknown
Very little seems to be unknown territory to Remy, but to Bobby all this guy on guy stuff is shiny and new and he's exploring to his heart's content and much to Remy's amusement and appreciation.
#49 - Lock
Remy was sure that he'd put a lock on his heart and that he'd thrown away the key; so he can't quite figure out how Bobby got in.
#50 - Breathe
Remy just lies there, watching Bobby sleep, watching him breathe, the pale chest rising and falling, beckoning him to touch, which he will... in a while.
