(davin)
The night James is taken, it's raining. Thundering spring showers despite the lingering snow still hanging around town. But it's enough distraction that he doesn't see the looming figure roaming around the corner of his house as he hurriedly tries to get his key into the lock and inside to dry off and warm himself. It's dark, late, when he's making his way home from a day of meetings with his family's lawyers. For once, he's come home optimistic, hopeful that negotiations are coming to an end. That all his father's remaining holdings will be amicably split between his siblings and himself while the company will be left in responsible hands.
So he doesn't expect the attack. He doesn't expect to need the weapon he's left in his bedroom since the day he took leave from the police department. Perhaps that was naive of him especially after finding out from Davin that someone, something was out to get him. Whatever the case, the witch blindsides him hitting him over the head with a hard blunt object that sends a shooting pain down his entire skull and spine. It knocks him unconscious, and the witch has gotten what they came for tonight...revenge.
He wakes up strapped to a flat cement table, hands and feet tied down making it impossible to move. His mouth is bound so he can't even scream for help. Though he wonders if it would do any good. He's somewhere dark. Somewhere he can hear the lapping of waves in the distance, and he hopes that whoever did this was dumb enough to keep him in town. He'll have a chance that way.
Because he has to believe his family, his siblings, someone will come looking for him.

Sighing into the warm feeling of Davin's pressed close to his, James nods back. He doesn't want to go anywhere. This time he plans to keep this, Davin, for as long as possible. He wants to do better, be better a better partner, because he thinks Davin is right. They are stronger together. When Davin lays down he wraps his arms around his shoulders, turning slightly so he can reach his mouth to give him a long kiss.
"I don't mind being stuck with you," he says, between kisses, running his hand along Davin's back. "If you don't mind being stuck with me..."

"Of course I don't," Davin assures him, a bit breathless from their kiss. He reaches up to slide his fingertips along James' cheek and up into his hair, expression vulnerable as he takes a moment to find the words. "I think-- all I wanted was for ya t'love me for who I really am. Just love all of me, okay? That's all I want."
He swallows hard and curls his fingers around the back of James' neck. "An' I'll love all o' you too."

James smiles, brighter than he has in days, his entire body at ease and comfortable for the moment, even with the bumps and bruises. This is exactly what he hoped for but couldn't fathom ever getting. He thought he'd ruined his chances, and now tonight Davin is telling him he loves him and he gets to say it back.
"That's all I want too, more than anything," he says, leaning closer to kiss Davin again. He knows Davin says he needs the rest, that he needs to take it easy, but he can't resist pulling Davin closer and pressing deeper into their kiss for a few seconds. When he pulls away it's not very far.
"So, since you're the one who doctored me up, when I can resume physical activity?" he asks amused.

Such a heated kiss coming after a declaration like that has Davin going a little weak, and he sags against James without thinking much about it. James kisses him and Davin returns it with a pleased hum, eyes fluttering open sluggishly when James pulls back. He clears his throat and sits up, playfully smacking James' arm with the back of his hand.
"Hey, stop that," Davin teases, and then laughs softly at the question. He's up for a rousing reunion just as much as James, but he forces himself not to lunge for the tie on James' sleep pants. "You're all healed, but you need to rest and regain your energy. You'll need lots of it for what I plan to do to you."

James laughs at Davin's response, but in the end, he nods in agreement. "I suppose you're right," he offers reluctantly. He did nearly die a few hours ago, but even then he's also just got the most important person in his life back. He wants to kiss Davin and do much more than that.
After a second, he lays his head down again though pulling Davin with him. "I'm not going anywhere, so I can rest and then take you up on that offer." It's high on his priority list. "Since you're here, resting up won't be too much of a chore," he says, wrapping his arms around Davin even more

"Ya big cuddle monster," Davin says with a laugh, sinking down into the bed and wrapping his arms around James. With as stressed as he's been while looking for James, going days without sleep, napping will be no great chore. He's just about to close his eyes when he catches something just out of the corner of one and bites his lip.
"My anti-nightmare charm is up," Davin says quietly, sliding a hand along James' shoulder as the tattoo on his forearm glows faintly. "Is that alright?"

Yawning sleepily, he lets his head snuggle down into the pillow. "I think I am more tired than I thought," he confesses, feeling his body growing heavy now that he's eaten and comfortable.
no subject
"Good. We'll both sleep easy then," Davin says, breathing out a sigh of relief and looking down at their joined hands. It really feels like James is serious about accepting Davin and all he can do, and Davin just hopes that it'll last.
James is well on his way to sleep so Davin settles in and holds onto him tightly, pressing a kiss to the top of his head and thanking every deity out there for bringing him back to Davin and giving them another chance.
