Reagan hadn't been held captive for nearly as long as the others. It had only been a little over a month for him, but it'd still felt like forever. The days and nights bled together and he'd lost all concept of time, time which he never really considered a big deal before, but now he felt very differently.

The drive back home was quiet, he'd slept most of the way with his head curled up on Liam's lap while Chancellor drove. When they got to the house, it felt surreal, and he'd never been so happy to see his home. It was even more surreal to step inside, and when Spooky showed up at his feet meowing loudly, he had to smile and scoop the little white creature up. The immediate purring was comforting, and he scratched behind the cat's ears before he put him back down and turned to Liam so that he could pull his husband into a much needed hug.

The house was absolutely silent, and Reagan could tell that not much living had gone on in it while he'd been away. But it was still home. He was relieved that it still felt like home. Breathing in Liam's scent, he let out a quiet sob, finally giving in to crying now that it was just the two of them.

For a long while, Reagan didn't say anything. He just held onto Liam as tightly as he could, finally feeling secure now that he was back in the man's arms, and back in their home. He swallowed hard as he started to calm down a little bit, and after a moment he let out a soft sigh as he pressed his face against Liam's neck.

"I'd like to take a shower and spend the next 24 hours in bed with you," he said softly. "And I'm a little hungry."

There was no feeling in the world like Reagan's arms and he stood there in the foyer just hugging him. "I'll fix you something to eat. Come into the kitchen with me," because he didn't want to let him out of his sight. "24 hours in bed can definitely be arranged." Liam would prefer 3 months, just to recoop the time they'd lost, but he needed to get back to the office to work on tracking Adam down. How much time would he lose with Reagan just trying to capture him. Was it revenge or the desire for safety? He wasn't prepared to answer that question just yet.

"What do you want to eat?"

"A grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup," Reagan said without a second thought. It was his comfort food, what he ate whenever he was sick or feeling a little off about something. "You make the best grilled cheese," he added as he held onto Liam even tighter. "I'd really like to shower before I eat, though. I feel absolutely disgusting right now, do I smell?"

Liam chuckled. "I hadn't noticed." Even if Reagan had smelled like death warmed over, Liam was pretty sure he would have thought it was wonderful. Everything about Reagan right now was wonderful.

He pulled away just enough to start walking them toward the bathroom. He was lucky to trust his team so much that he could spend this time with Reagan, confident that the case wouldn't suffer with his absence. If he was honest with himself, it was probably better without him because he could feel himself getting so worked up. If Adam had been there, Liam might have done something he couldn't take back. Once in the bathroom, he started to undress Reagan, intent on checking over every inch of him himself.

Reagan didn't smell, he'd showered every day - sometimes more than once - but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was still dirty somehow. It was illogical, he knew, but he just couldn't help himself.

Following Liam up to the bathroom, he started to relax a little more, but being undressed by Liam again was almost overwhelming. There was a feel about the way Liam's hands felt that were different than anyone else's, especially Adam's, and Reagan had missed that feeling very much.

"Do you have my ring?" he asked softly after a moment.

Liam was well aware of what Adam did with his victims. He was not holding out the hope that Reagan had avoided some very bad experiences, some of them sexual. When he started undressing Reagan, he had in the back of his mind that he might need to stop. When he saw that Reagan was getting worked up, he didn't read it as fear, but he needed to be sure. "Is this okay?" he asked as he captured his husband's gaze.

His fingers stopped working and he reached into his pocket. "Yes, did you leave it in the medicine cabinet on purpose or did he hide it from you there?"

Reagan lifted a hand to gently touch the side of Liam's face, and he leaned in to kiss him softly.

"It's okay," he assured his husband gently. "I left it there, in case you came there. I knew you'd look around and I wanted to leave something small of mine for you to find so you'd know I was there."

He was thankful to hear that Adam hadn't hidden the ring from him. Continuing to unfasten Reagan's shirt, he watched as the fabric fell away in an ever-widening V. While he was down at the bottom of Reagan's shirt, he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, hands resting against his hips just a moment before he pushed them down. He was afraid that he would see something on Reagan's skin, something different than he was used to. He felt like a bruise might send him off into a rage.

Reagan could sense Liam's apprehension, and he put his hands against Liam's wrists, his fingers curling around them gently.

"Liam, look at me," he said softly, and he waited for his husband to meet his eyes before he continued. "Are you all right?" He let go of Liam's wrists and moved to cup his face. "I'm here with you now, I'm safe."

He didn't want to frighten Reagan with his worries that Adam would be looking to get them back. He was especially worried that he would be gunning for Reagan just to teach Liam a lesson about taking away his toys.

"I didn't think I'd ever be afraid to see you. I just don't think I can handle seeing him lingering on your skin." He shook his head, unable to keep something like that from Reagan. Instead of stopping though, he tugged off Reagan's shirt, lingering over his shoulders with his lips, kissing up to his neck.

Reagan all ready had those thoughts and fears, but he was afraid to voice them outloud. He was afraid that if he did, they might come true. So he just stayed quiet for now, keeping his worries to himself, though he knew he couldn't keep his feelings from Liam, and he didn't want to.

"It's nothing a shower and healing won't fix," he whispered as he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Liam tightly. "God, I missed you so much."

The feel of Reagan's skin pressing against him, even through the fabric of his own clothes, was enough to make him groan. Was it wrong to want him so much so soon after the eventful and traumatic past months. Tilting his head inward, he kissed at Reagan's neck, opening his mouth to nip just a little. "I'm tempted to take you with me on all future work trips." Even though he knew that wasn't possible, he considered folding Reagan up in his luggage anyway.

It felt infinitely amazing to know that Liam still wanted him. It wad a fear that Reagan hadn't even realized he'd had while he'd been away. But knowing another man had had him, had touched him, made Reagan almost hate himself though he knew that it wasn't his fault.

"I wouldn't mind," he whispered as he tightened his hold on Liam. "He hated when I would talk about you. My mouth got me into trouble, but it was worth it. I didn't paint for him, not once."

He liked hearing that, though he would have worried about it a great deal if he'd known Reagan was being so resistant at the time. He trusted that Reagan could handle himself, but the profile said Adam could be unpredictable. "I want you to paint for me then. There's got to be a lot you need to get out."

He leaned back to unbutton his ow shirt. "I'm going to clean you up," he said quietly as he stripped down and then ran the water hot.

Reagan's hands moved to help undress Liam, too. It had always been one of his favorite things to do, and he'd missed it while he'd been away. Away. It was so much easier to put his captivity into such a benign term when it had been anything but benign at all.

"Please do," he murmured as he pressed a kiss to Liam's shoulder. "I feel like I'm dreaming right now," he added with a sad sort of laugh. "I know I'm not, but this just feels so good, to be with you again."

Helping him into the shower, he let him get used to the heat of the water before smoothing the bar of soap through his hands. He wanted to touch every inch of Reagan and this was going to be the best way to do it. Slick palms slid over his skin, down his chest and around his hips.

"I dreamt about you a lot, when I managed to sleep." Which hadn't been a great deal, but his body had finally given out when he got tired enough.

Reagan closed his eyes and leaned against Liam. It felt so good to be in the shower with him, and to feel himself being cleaned by those hands again. He tipped his head to the side and pressed a soft kiss to Liam's lips before a quiet sigh escaped him.

"I dreamt of you, too," he mumbled. "A lot, actually. I talked about you almost constantly."

When Liam came across a fading bruise, he ghosted the pad of his thumb against it. "I bought a bottle of scotch," he said. He'd been sober long enough that Reagan had never really seen him struggle with it all that much. But a month into Reagan's disappearance and Liam understood what they meant when they said 'once and alcoholic, always an alcoholic.' "I didn't open it." But he hadn't gotten rid of it either.

He rinsed Reagan's skin, soap suds dripping down the man's body. Next, was Reagan's hair, and Liam gently tipped his head back to get it wet before combing his shampoo covered fingers over his scalp.

"I'm glad you didn't," Reagan said softly as he dipped his head back. He closed his eyes and swallowed hard as his hands grasped against Liam's shoulders. "I needed you to come back to. You should throw it out," he whispered before he opened his eyes again so that he could meet Liam's eyes. "Thank you for being so strong."

Liam wanted to ask Reagan to throw it out, but he knew he couldn't start that kind of relationship with him. He'd depended on Chancellor so much to be his path to sobriety and ultimately, it had ruined them. He'd be absolutely damned if he'd let that happen with Reagan. Nodding a little, he sighed. "Yeah, I'll throw it out."

He kissed Reagan before tilting his head back again to rinse out all of the shampoo. Conditioner came next and he took his sweet time, punctuating each movement with another kiss.

Reagan closed his eyes and kissed Liam back as he gathered up the soap to clean Liam up a well. He felt on the verge of crying again, overwhelmed with good and bad moments all at once. This was so good, but he couldn't erase what had happened to him, and it'd been so bad.

"You're my everything," he whispered after a moment. He had been fine before, without Liam, but he'd never be fine again without him. He worked some shampoo into Liam's hair and sighed against his shoulder. "What if I can't paint again? I haven't in so long."

"I have every confidence in your ability to paint again. You put it away in a safe place and that man didn't get to it, no matter how much he wanted to." Liam believed it would only be a matter of time before Reagan could unlock that place and go back to painting like he used to.

Reaching behind Reagan, he turned up the heat on the water, wanting it to leave their skin a little pink.

Reagan helped Liam rinse his hair before he lathered it up with conditioner, and he moved closer to him as he closed his eyes.

"I missed showers like this, and our bed," he said softly, enjoying how hot the water was. The water in the basement never got this hot. "Maybe we should get a very big dog," he half joked, bur he was also partly serious.

"I don't think Spooky was much of a hinderance, was he," Liam said gently. No offense to the cat, but a pit bull probably would have had an easier time protecting Reagan. He took it as a semi-serious joke and nodded a little.

"I wouldn't be against a rescue dog." Liam loved the idea of going to the pound and getting a big dog that needed a home. Their place was certainly suitable for a larger breed, and it was more responsibility than a cat.

"Well, actually, I do remember him meowing very loudly just before," Reagan said quietly. As if the little cat had been trying to tell him something.

He closed his eyes again and leaned forward so that he could kiss against the side of Liam's neck. It was comforting to know that Adam hadn't ruined his desire for his husband. He still wanted Liam very, very much.

"We better get out before the water runs cold," he said softly. "I'm starving."

"I'm beginning to think I should invest in a larger hot water tank," he laughed a little, comforted by the sound of his own relaxed mirth.

Liam reached over and shut off the water, going to get a towel to wrap around the other man. Once he'd dried them both off thoroughly, he went to get their pajamas, perfectly comfortable walking around the house naked. When he came back, he helped Reagan dress and then dressed himself before padding downstairs to get started on the grilled cheese and soup. He loved cooking for Reagan; it made him feel terribly domestic.

After Liam helped him get dressed, he put on his slippers and trailed along after his husband. He settled down on one of the stools at the breakfast bar and put his chin in his hands while he watched Liam start the food.

"You better eat something, too," he said softly, "You're almost as skinny as I am now."

With Reagan here, his appetite had come back. Later, he would lose it again once he started dwelling on the fact that Adam was still on the loose. But for now, he was looking forward to something warm in his stomach.

Putting the pot on the stove, he poured the tomato soup into it to heat it up and then he began work on the grilled cheese. About midway through, he stopped and looked up at Reagan for a long while, floored by just how casual and familiar this felt. He nearly burned the sandwich, but managed to refocus and flip it over just in time. He was in simple awe over this and how he used to take things like this for granted.

Reagan watched Liam while he poured the soup into the pot and started the sandwich, but eventually his eyes got heavy and he closed them while he sat there with his chin propped up in one of his hands. After a moment he yawned and straightened up in his seat while he rubbed a hand over his face before he slipped off of the stool. He made his way around to the stove and he slid up behind Liam to wrap his arms around the older man's waist so that he could press his face against his back, just in between his shoulderblades.

"Smells good," he said softly.

Liam liked that he couldn't quite tell if Reagan was talking about him or the food. He leaned back briefly against him before dishing up their meal and taking it to sit at their little breakfast table. Instead of sitting across from Reagan like he used to, he scooted the chair around so that he could sit next to him, brushing shoulder to shoulder as he started to drink his soup out of the big mug he'd put it in.

Reagan got a coke out of the fridge and went to have a seat at the table. When Liam sat next to him instead of across from him, he didn't question it, and instead turned a little sideways in his seat so that he could slip one of his legs over Liam's knee. He started on his sandwich first, using the soup as a dip before he took a bite. It was probably the most amazing meal he'd had in his entire life, and he was sure that it was pure nostalgia that made it so.

"You really do make the best grilled cheese," he said softly after a moment as he wiggled his toes.

It was probably foolish to feel like crying again, but a wave of emotion struck him and he swallowed hard to prevent any tears from coming. At least they were happy instead of full of despair. He smiled, genuine. "I'm taking some time off. I'm not going into work for a few days. I want to find him, but I don't think me being there is going to help much right now, not when all I want to do is be next to you 24/7."

"Good, because I want to be around you 24/7, too," Reagan replied as he finished his sandwich. He took a sip of his coke before he started on his soup. When he was full, he slipped an arm around Liam's waist and closed his eyes as he leaned his head against his husband's shoulder. "He was watching me before we even met," he said after a moment. "That's infinitely creepy."

Liam frowned, turning his head so he could look at Reagan. "Before you and I met?" That sent a soul shaking shiver down his spine. His brain worked the pieces together. "You're the reason his timeline changed. You're the missing year." It made him sick to think Reagan had been stalked right under his nose.

"I have no idea what that means," Reagan said quietly before he pulled back to look up a Liam's face. "Can we go crawl in bed and talk for a while?" Really, he'd missed the comfort Liam brought him, and the sound of his voice more than he could ever express.

Liam nodded. "Of course we can," he said warmly, trying to shake the disturbance of realizing that ultimately, Adam had known Reagan longer than he had.

He put the dishes away in the dishwasher and then led them upstairs to the bedroom. Spooky followed, padding softly behind them. Slipping into bed, Liam decided to talk about something not case related. "I've really been wanting to remodel a little. Maybe a new kitchen, or some other nice big project."

Reagan went to pull some socks out of his dresser to tug them on before he slipped into the bathroom to brush his teeth. He'd even missed his toothbrush. How silly was that?

"That'd be nice," Reagan said from the doorway of the bathroom while he brushed his teeth. His words were muffled but he knew that Liam
could understand him. "We should go away together for a while."

Normally, Liam would be flipping through a magazine or reading a book while Reagan did his little rituals, but now he was just watching the man, drinking in his every movement. "That's an even better idea." He relished the notion of taking Reagan far away for awhile. "Someplace out of the country," he mused.

Reagan disappeared from view for a few moments, and when he came back out of the bathroom he shut the lights off and went to go slide into their bed. It smelled like home, and Liam, and felt so comfortable. He'd almost forgotten how good their bed felt.

"Some place sunny," he said as he pressed against Liam and wrapped his arms around him tightly. "Even though I won't tan."

While Reagan had been gone, Liam had dreaded this bed. Trying to sleep in it without Regan had always been torture. Now that he was back, the bed was renewed, a sanctuary again.

"You'll burn," he laughed a little and scooted close to Reagan. "Someplace sunny though, yes." He imagined that being down in a basement for so long would make someone miss the sun.

"You can put lots of sunscreen on me," Reagan whispered as he tipped his head up to look at Liam.

It was overwhelming to even look at Liam, and he raised a hand to allow his fingertips against the side of his husband's jaw. He ran the pads of his fingers across Liam's lips before he leaned in and kissed him on the mouth, soft at first, before it grew more intense.

Liam certainly enjoyed the idea of rubbing sunscreen all over Reagan, and the growing intensity of the kiss was helping those fantasies along. He slipped his arms tightly around Reagan and settled into kissing him. He put everything into that act, all of his attention and passion. His teeth tugged a little on Reagan's lower lip before he broke and started to lay smaller kisses against Reagan's nose ans chin.

A soft groan bubbled up in Reagan's throat as the kiss grew, and when it broke he let one of his hands dip up into Liam's hair. He kissed at the tip of Liam's nose and smiled tearfully. He felt a little silly getting so emotional, but he couldn't help it. He'd missed Liam so much.

Liam didn't think it was at all silly. Not that he wanted Reagan to cry, but it was gratifying to see how much Reagan loved him. It was even better that he loved him back just as much. He rolled over so that he was on top of Reagan and he kissed him one more time before he laid his head on his chest to listen to the sound of his heart beat.

"I'm making you the biggest breakfast in the morning."

Reagan let out a shaky sigh of contentment when he felt the familiar weight of Liam on top of him. It felt so much different than Adam's, and Reagan tightened his arms around him as his fingers slipped down from Liam's hair to rest at the base of his neck.

"Are you trying to make me fat now?" he asked softly, his voice slightly teasing as he dipped his head down to nip gently at his husband's ear.

"Absolutely, I am. You're far too thin at the moment." He wanted Reagan healthy again. They'd both lost some weight over all of this, and Liam had every intention of putting each ounce back on with zeal. He could start jogging again, having energy again, tasting food again. It was a good feeling.

Turning his head, he kissed at Reagan's neck and then relaxed to the side of him, keeping an arm over his chest.

Reagan rolled over onto his side so that he could press his face against Liam's chest, and he let out a quiet yawn. He was absolutely exhausted. Physically, emotionally, mentally.

"Lets sleep, we have all day tomorrow to spend together," he whispered softly. "I love you."
