Lunch Date

[doctor_kavanagh]

After Nick's visit, he couldn't get back into the work and it was almost lunch time anyway. So he left the lab to grab a few sandwiches and a couple of cups of coffee from the mess hall and took them to David's lab

David rubbed a weary hand over his face and slipped from his chair, rounding the table they'd been sitting around to throw his arm around Cal. He'd been up all night as well, and his shift had been switched from night to midday, so he was exhausted. Cal looked even worse, though--he couldn't stand to see either of them hurting--especially over one another.

He stroked a gentling hand across the top of Cal's bowed head and left his hand to nestle against the warm nape of his neck.

"you know he doesn't always say what he means, Cal--or mean what he says. You two were both hyped up--he was tired, you were tired and angry....it'll probably j-just blow over if you let it. Come back home with me tonight--I'll play go-between, we'll fix it, you'll s-see..don't let this little thing do too much, ok?"

He kissed Cal's cheek and leaned against the table, yawning. "I'm s-sorry y ou go left alone last night---I would have come home if I'd known..."

He smiles, feeling a lot better for having talked it out, strange he'd never have believed that before David, and leans into his lover's touch. "When did you get to be so wise?" He asks with a soft chuckle. "You're right of course. I'm sure this is nothing. Don't worry about yesterday. Dylan needed you more." He sighs slightly, his heart feeling heavy.

"had a good teacher" he whispers softly, bending back in to kiss Cal's cheek. He traces the smooth curve of his lover's cheekbone with his lips as he speaks, and ends at his lips, unconcerned about his lab assistants bustling about.

"but that didn't fix it....you're still sad about something, I can tell....wise, so I hear."

He pulls Cal by the hand into his private office and lets the door close behind them, leaning against the wall and giving Cal "spill it" eyes. "you're d-dwelling--you do that, you know..."

He grins at David's nearness and pulls David in for a long, smouldering kiss with a hand on the back of his head, his fingers trailing through the soft blond hair.

"Of course I'm dwelling, oh wise one. I have yet to convince Nick of his brilliant plan of yours." He replies chuckling softly. "Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine though."
