Felix

After Shannon's brief conversation with Alcuin...

On the way to the Mirador Shannon had had plenty of time to work himself up from a simmering anger to a full on hurricane. The tension around him hummed, like lightning on water, except this storm wasn't safely on the horizon. It was quickly approaching Felix's front door. No one who passed Shannon thought to utter a word as he walked to his lover's apartment. Yet, when he stood in front of the door and knocked, his expression smoothed and when the door opened his smile was almost seductive.

"Felix," he purred, placing a hand on the man's chest and pushing forward. "May I come in?"

"No," answered Felix, quiet, but truthful. His hand rested lightly on Shannon's cheek.There was no one he could choose over Shannon, not permanently. He just didn't know how to be with him, every day and through everything, the way they had been, when only a portion of his secrets lay uncovered. "But I've never known you to worry over anything."

"I never thought I had cause," Shannon said. "Are you worried?" It felt like a silly question once he'd voiced it, but he left it for Felix to answer if he wished.

"If you fall in love with someone else, I have only myself to blame," Felix answered. "But, no. I'm not worried."

[shannonteverius]

He needn't be. Falling in love with someone else seemed impossible to Shannon.

Shannon took a deep breath, savoring the feel of his lover lying against him. He wrapped an arm around Felix's back, keeping him close. This was how he wanted to fall asleep every night, not alone in an empty bed.
