Summary: Where do they go from here?
ooo)O(ooo
Walter
I watched him sleep, curled up on his side, his face sweet with an almost
childlike serenity in repose.
Carefully so as not to wake him, I spooned myself
around his slender frame. I settled down against him, feeling the warmth of his
body, listening to the gentle rhythmic breathing. Gently I kissed the space between
his shoulders, smiling as he murmured and snuggled against me. Wrapping my arm
around his waist I closed my eyes, a final thought drifting through my mind before
sleep overtook me as well.
Mine…Alex was mine.
ooo)O(ooo
Alex
I was not sure what
had woken me, possibly it was the soft early morning light steaming in through the half
open window.
Walter was cuddled up against me, his arm resting heavily around
my waist. Carefully I moved, trying to dislodge it without waking him up. With
a soft grunt Walter tightened his grip around me, pulling me against his chest.
Then he rolled over, taking me with him until I found myself lying on top of him,
both his arms wrapped around me like I was some kind of half assed teddy bear or something.
I couldn't help but grin at the situation I had found myself in. The man was
a snuggler all right and damn strong to boot. There was no way I was getting
out of his grip without a struggle that wouldn't end with me not waking him
up. Oh well, may as well stay where I was.
Surrendering
with good grace, I laid my head against his chest, listening to the slow beat
of his heart. Closing my eyes, I drifted back off into a warm comfortable sleep
listening to his heart beat, secure in the knowledge that Walter would be here
when I woke up.
ooo)O(ooo
Walter
Waking up with a soundly sleeping Alex draped over me made me realize how much my life had changed. I realize now, for better or worse that things would be different. A whole galaxy of different. But that was just fine with me.
Carefully, so as not to disturb him, I moved out from underneath him. Alex gave a soft moan, then burrowed down under the quilt. Leaving him to his slumber, I padded barefoot out to the kitchen to start breakfast.
I made some coffee, then after pouring myself a cup, I carried it out to the balcony. It was still early morning, the air felt crisp and clean, I breathed in a lungful, enjoying this rare moment when everything was so still.
//What are you doing Walter?// That insidious little voice was back, creeping up with all the stealth of a mouse.
//Do you really think you can tame a creature like Alex Krycek? Do you think he will stay with you? A balding middle aged man? You have to be delusional.// It sneered.
"Fuck off." I told it cheerfully. The voice retreated in shock, hopefully never to appear again.
No, Alex was mine, I had claimed him for my own and no matter what happened, I fully intended to keep him.
With these thoughts so fully occupying my mind, I never heard him come up behind me. Suddenly an arm wound it's way around my waist and a soft pair of lips began nuzzling into my neck.
With a grin of complete satisfaction, I leaned into the embrace, happier than I have ever been for a long time.
"Hungry baby?" I asked. I felt rather than saw Alex nod his head.
"Come on inside then, I'll make you some breakfast."
"Mmm, I'm hungry but not for food." Alex replied, a wicked glint in his eye.
Taking me firmly by the hand, he led me back into the bedroom. Laughing with
sheer delight, I followed him, allowing myself to be led not only back to bed...but
to a whole new life."

Ten Years Later
Alex
I leaned up against the tree, watching as Walter split some logs for the fireplace. Even though we had a good heating system in the cabin that we shared, we still preferred the intimacy of an open fireplace.~END~
