Summary: Unseasonably warm.
Thank you: to Vshendria for wonderful beta!
Casey pressed his mouth against Zeke's neck and moaned. It was warm in the sunlit room and perspiration glittered silver on his pale skin.
Zeke tightened his hold on the wiry body and pulled down while pressing up. Casey moaned again and Zeke could feel him trembling.
One hand slid up the sweatslick back to the nape of Casey's neck, caressing the damp tendrils of hair before sliding across to grip a shoulder. The second hand followed the same teasing path before claiming Casey's other shoulder.
The smaller teen was pressed fully against Zeke, their movements restricted by the wide arms of the old chair. A bottle of water rested on the nearby table and Casey reached for it, offering a sip to Zeke before tilting it up and letting the cool liquid flow over Zeke's chin and down. Setting the bottle aside, Casey followed the water's path with his mouth as far as he was able without breaking his connection with Zeke.
Zeke leaned back, closed his eyes and groaned.
Casey shifted again, taking control for the moment, smiling when Zeke lifted his head to look at him. Zeke grinned and shook his head. He tightened his hold on Casey's shoulders and pressed hard.
And again.
Reclaiming control, he increased his movements, delighting in the sounds Casey made.
With a final cry, Casey slumped forward, his whole weight pressed against Zeke. They shuddered through the aftereffects of their passion together.
Zeke couldn't suppress his smile when he felt the shuddering change. Little puffs of air cooled his skin, almost tickling him. He shivered and tilted his head to give Casey's head a kiss.
Casey looked up, shifting his weight off of Zeke's chest. His eyes shone and he was laughing.
Zeke just shook his head and grinned back. He'd never known anyone to react this way. The first time, he'd been a little disturbed that Casey broke out into laughter but he'd excused it as a nervous reaction. Since then he'd come to recognize it as an outburst of pure happiness.
The laughter was fading now, and Casey was leaning against him, spent. Unable to resist, Zeke found that ticklish spot and ran his fingernails over it lightly.
Mirth filled the room again and Casey rewarded him with a kiss that pressed the laughter into his mouth. Zeke could almost taste the joy.
Casey rose slowly, standing on shaky legs. He reached out to Zeke, pulling him up and dragging him to the bed where they both collapsed.
Tenderly, Casey ran the towel over Zeke then covered him before toweling off himself. He settled into what had become his side of the bed and eased Zeke into his arms. With a mutual sigh, they fell asleep.

Delilah sighed. Another Monday.
She walked to her locker as her flunky du jour trailed along chattering and carrying her books. She didn't hear a word he said.
The sight of Casey getting out of Zeke's car had put her in a mood and the chatterbox trailing her wasn't improving it any. She stopped cold half a hallway from her locker, nearly getting run over by her helper. Without a word she reached out and took her books then walked off leaving the confused young man behind.
She opened the locker carefully, mindful of her nails despite the urge to slam the door and scream. It took a few seconds to realize what she was seeing.
A white carnation lay across her history book, a black and white photograph propped beside it. She shoved her books into the bottom of the locker and reached up to claim the surprises.
She held the flower close to her nose, the petals almost brushing her lips as she looked at the photo. It was one of Casey's skyscapes - cottonsoft clouds hanging in a brilliant sky.
She turned it over, not finding a note and not really expecting one. She picked up the textbook for her first class and tucked the photo inside. At lunch she'd take the photo out to her car. She had the perfect place for it.
