Marty & Liam

[unironickylorenfan]

"Mm, don't tell me your weaknesses. I'll exploit them." Liam says, voice gone quiet, his body aching but finally relaxed and thoughts starting to feel a bit like spun taffy. They came here for a reason, but here, in Marty's bed, the horrors of the Shadow World can't find Liam, and the gentle rise and fall of Marty's chest is so peaceful. There's no harm in laying still for a few seconds, listening to the rhythm of Marty's breathing - feeling safe.

Without looking, Liam brings a hand up and runs his fingers over Marty's cheek and jaw, exploring the sharp lines of his face. "I am, too." He admits. "Weak to ice. I..." Liam doesn't finish his thought. His touch goes heavy as he drifts off to sleep.

Marty & Liam

The beginning of that sentence hangs in the air, an unfinished thought, and Marty listens for a moment. All he hears is Liam's slow and even breathing. Marty laughs softly, just a couple of quick exhalations through his nose. Maybe he should be offended that he isn't exciting enough to stay awake for, but he's just glad Liam found some peace. For once, he doesn't even wish he had a Sharpie on hand. Instead, he hooks his foot under the blankets and bends his knee, slow and careful, to pull them high enough to reach with his hand, then just as slowly pulls them the rest of the way up. Liam stirs a little, but doesn't wake, so Marty nuzzles back in, arm winding around his waist and cheek pressing against his curls. It only takes a few minutes before he falls asleep too.
