open to liam
Liam and Reagan had talked about taking vacations before, but they never followed through. Liam's work was demanding, and Reagan was content to stay close to him. He didn't want to go off on a vacation all on his own, and his art kept him busy enough. Plus he got to travel quite a bit sometimes, too, when he had showings scheduled across the country. So when they'd followed through with this vacation, he was a little surprised, but very excited. The idea of getting to go away somewhere with his husband was exhilerating, and exactly what he needed.

He was still having trouble sleeping, but he was doing better. He was coping the best way he knew how, and Liam was always there for him. Reagan was astounded at just how patient his husband was. They still hadn't had sex yet, but Liam seemed fine with it.

Hawaii was beautiful. The moment they landed Reagan was taken aback by the beauty, it was stunning. After they'd settled in, they had something to eat and then they'd taken a nap together. It was close to evening time when they wokeup and headed out to the beach. The sun was still out, but would be setting soon, and it was still hot outside. Reagan had on a pair of cargo shorts - he really wasn't the type to wear silly swimming trunks, a thin white v-neck t-shirt, and a pair of sunglasses perched on his nose as he lay sprawled out on the towel next to Liam. They'd both put on copius amounts of sunscreen, especially Reagan since he was apt to burn so easily. He was sketching in a sketchpad, drawing a picture of the scenery that surrounded them.

	"You are gorgeous, shush," Reagan muttered with a grin before he lifted his head up and noticed that they were all alone on the beach, the couple had headed back to the hotel. "We should, I bet it's warm from the sun," he added, his attention flickering back to Liam's face before he moved to straddle his husband's hips, and leaned in for a soft kiss.

Without looking, Liam had sensed that they weren't being watched and that no one else was around. He liked being able to do that--it made him feel kind of cool, like a secret agent, or Spiderman. And with Reagan on top of him, he felt like a pornstar--in the good way.

Of course, there was romance involved and the creature on top of him was infinitely sweet. But he was ridiculously hot too and Liam counted his blessings that he'd managed to find both. Someone he loved and someone who turned him on so completely. "Warm is good," he murmured against Reagan's lips. "You're warm." As if he'd stumbled into some sort of rambling word parade, Liam continued. "I like warm. I like you."

	Reagan loved when Liam rambled like that, and it seemed like Liam was the only man in the entire world who could make rambling so damn sexy. Reagan smiled against the older man's lips with a soft laugh before he kissed him again. "I'd certainly hope so," he mumbled happily. "Because I'm quite fond of you, too. Don't know if you've noticed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He was afraid that he was going to get addicted to vacations now. This one was going so well so far that he thought he'd like to take more of them. Granted, once he got back to work it would be difficult to pull him away for an extended period of time again.

"I noticed." He nodded, but came right back to the kiss which was now more like a simple sharing of air and Liam liked that notion very much. "I think I'm going into a relaxation coma."

	Reagan grinned and let his lips barely brush against Liam's as he tucked the bottoms of his feet underneath Liam's thighs, putting them that much closer together. "Really? Anything I can do to help wake you back up?" he asked with a smirk and a raised brow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You could tell me you're pregnant. That would wake me up." It was impossible to be around Chancellor for very long without getting a bit of a smart mouth, but he rarely used it so blatantly. "But you're doing a good enough job of waking me up as it is."

He raised the upper half of his body, causing Reagan to rock back a little. Now they were sitting up in the sand and Liam's arms was around Reagan's shoulders, slipping up underneath his shirt to trail along his spine.

	Reagan grinned with a soft, amused laugh, and he let his fingers slip up into Liam's hair. Before he could say another word, he was being tipped upwards and they were sitting in the sand, his legs still wrapped around Liam's waist. "Do I really weigh that little?" he asked with an amused grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	impotentwaffle 2010-07-22 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"Yes." Liam nodded. Reagan was tall, but quite lanky and so he hardly weighed enough to keep Liam on his back. "I've been trying to fatten you up since I met you, but you always seem to magically burn off whatever you put in your body." The sky was darkening slowly around them as the sun gave its last hurrah before sinking beneath the horizon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now that the sun was down, Reagan plucked Liam's sunglasses off of his face to set them next to his own sunglasses. He smiled and let his arms drape easily around Liam's shoulders. "No, I think it's just that you're very strong," he replied with a playful grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hm, I'm a regular Superman," he laughed before kissing Reagan's chin. "Come on, let's go for a swim before the water looses the heat." It was warm all night, but nothing like the warmth of the day and the sun. Liam knew that heat would be lingering in the ocean and he wanted to get at it.

But he couldn't get up with Reagan on top of him and he wasn't about to dump him off on the sand. It was just too nice there. "I suppose if we wait though, the tide will come to us."

"You are," Reagan agreed with a half smile, and he dipped his head down to brush his mouth against Liam's neck and shoulder before he wiggled away and got to his feet.

He dusted himself off a little bit and ruffled his hands through his hair before he headed towards the water. The sand beneath his toes felt good, and the second his toes touched the water he smiled at how warm it was. This was ridiculously relaxing and romantic. It was almost too much - too good, but Reagan really needed it. He felt like Liam did, too.

Liam was well aware of how much bliss Reagan deserved at this point in his life. And while he knew this couldn't possibly be enough to make up for what he'd been through--either one of them, actually--it was enough to take their minds off of it for awhile.

Getting up, he brushed himself off meticulously. The only sand left on him was the stuff that stuck to his feet as he walked toward the water. He'd even taken a moment to dig in his pockets for the sand that inevitably found its way into the corners of those. A frivolous endeavor because there was always more sand to get into. But he was satisfied for the time being and bent over to roll up the legs of his pants.

When he reached the surf, he clasped at Reagan's hand and let the waves run up over his feet and ankles. As they swept back out, the water took the ground beneath their heels as well and caused them to sink down into it.

Reagan let his fingers lace up with Liam's and he smiled a little bit. Everything was so serene, and despite how lovely it all was, he was a tiny bit sad. He felt as if something had been taken away from him and he was in a constant struggle to get it back, but being with Liam made it easier.

Turning, he wrapped his arms around his husband's waist and pressed his face against the front of Liam's neck to brush a kiss there. He closed his eyes, a quiet sigh escaping him, and he thought about how the others he'd been kidnapped with were doing.

"I'm very glad you married me," he said after a moment with a faint smile.

"I'm glad you let me," Liam returned easily, stepping backward and taking Reagan with him so that they were into the water up to their knees. He could feel the rush of sand underneath them, but he stayed firmly upright, rooted in the earth and holding on to Reagan so he didn't go anywhere either. He liked being his anchor and this was putting the metaphor firmly into reality.

Reagan moved with Liam easily, and he was certain that he'd follow Liam anywhere. Smiling he lifted his head up and brushed a kiss against the older man's mouth before he pulled away, though he did hold onto Liam's hand, their fingers laced together. Looking out at the ocean, the sun setting, it was breathtaking.

"I should paint this when we get back," he said softly before he looked over at Liam with a smile. "I've been dying to ask - who's in charge while you're gone?"

"Officially, Emma is the next ranking agent, so she's in charge." Chancellor wasn't back a hundred percent and even if he was, Liam wouldn't have explicitly left him in charge. Though he suspected the man was bossing people around and those people were listening to him. It was impossible not to obey Chancellor when he set his brilliant mind to it.

Releasing Reagan, Liam made sure that he was on steady footing before he bent over and reached down into the water, pulling out a handful of sand. Letting it sift through his fingers, he found a few shells and rinsed them off in the surf. "I'm glad you're inspired."

Reagan had only met everyone briefly, though he did speak to Emma a lot about things Adam had done since he and Liam were so close. Liam had been there, but he hadn't been allowed to ask Reagan any sort of questions.

Watching as Liam knelt down in the sand, all ready Reagan was thinking that he should paint that. The image was so perfect, brilliant.

"Me too," he agreed as he lifted a foot up out of the water, creating a nice arch of a stream for a split second. "You inspire me everyday, though. I have tons of sketches of you."

"Do I?" He clearly liked hearing that. "I don't suppose it's stalking if you're married to me." Tugging up the hem of his shirt, he peeled it off. With a sudden surge of carefree attitude, he wadded up the shirt and chucked it as far as he could out of the reach of the waves and onto the sand. Next came his pants after a quick check that they were still alone. He still had his boxer briefs on and he looked at Reagan with raised eyebrows as if asking if he should do away with those as well.

Reagan smiled, wiggling the toes of his raised foot before he dipped it back into the water. His attention flickered back to Liam though, a brow arching as his husband started to shed his clothes and toss them to shore. Smiling, he let his gaze trail over Liam's body before he stepped closer to hook his thumbs in the waistband of Liam's boxer briefs.

"I wouldn't even make it past the water," he teased, knowing he didn't at all have good aim.

"Oh, I'll help you toss your clothes," he reassured him and started to help Reagan out of his before he finally took off his own boxers. Liam wasn't really an exhibitionist. He liked to keep their romps private, intimate, but this was kind of thrilling. Besides, he was on vacation--it wasn't like anyone was going to recognize them here. And there wasn't anyone visibly on the beach.

As promised, Liam helped their clothes clear the ocean, though he wasn't sure they were going to make it through high tide. The prospect of running back to the hotel with only their towels to cover them up was appealing, a private little vacation story they could remember together later in life. Liam loved thinking about Reagan like that, in terms of forever.

"I had a feeling you'd say that," Reagan replied with an amused grin.

Reagan was a bit more of a free spirit than Liam, yet still he was the one looking around anxiously as his husband stripped him down and tossed his clothes to shore. The moment Liam was completely nude, though, all of Reagan's attention easily settled on the other man and he shivered a little though it wasn't exactly cold out.

"You're gorgeous," he said softly.

Liam reached out and clasped on to Reagan's hand before tugging him farther out into the water. Even though it was dark now, the waves still held on to the heat of the day. Once they were up to their waists, Liam stopped, feeling sufficiently covered again.

"You're biased," he laughed. It had become a familiar call and response for them, like an inside joke. Instead of waiting for an answer, he kissed Reagan on the mouth, steadying himself in the waves as the water swept in around them.

Maybe Reagan was biased, but that hardly mattered. To him Liam was the most beautiful man in the entire world, and no one made him feel the way Liam could. It was a relief to Reagan that Liam could still effect him the same way after he'd been taken, a part of him had worried that everything would change for some reason. It was nice to know that he'd been wrong. He'd never been more happy to be proven wrong before in his entire life.

He kissed Liam back and stepped closer as his arms lifted to loop around his husband's neck. His lips parted and smiled softly at the feel of the water around them, and the sounds the waves made.

Always aware of the recent past, Liam took extra care to be cautious. He never wanted to recreate a jerk, or a twist that would send Reagan into memories of Adam. But as time passed, he'd been growing more confident that he wasn't going to cause Reagan to freak out and he could honestly say that they were getting close to normal.

Liam's teeth grazed against Reagan's bottom lip, nipping at it lightly as he squeezed the man's bare hips below the water. He let their hips touch, bodies rubbing together from the natural motion of the water. "The ocean's going to do all the work for us," he teased a bit breathlessly.

Reagan's arms slipped around Liam's waist so that his hands could rest against his Liam's backside. He gave a playful squeeze as a soft noise of pleasure escaped the back of his throat at the feel of Liam pressed against him in tune with the water. Everything felt warm. The water, Liam, the air. Reagan smiled against Liam's mouth and gave him a few soft kisses.

"You think so?" he asked teasingly, his voice muffled by their kiss.
