Why this must be read: This is an exquisite five times fic with each moment building on the one before to give a clear picture of a relationship between Sam and Gene. And the writing packs an emotional punch as it moves the reader fluidly from moment to moment showing us heat, passion, love, fear, anxiety, acceptance and more. Beautiful.
Excerpt
He’s been wondering when it would come to this, and finally it has. One of their regular arguments in the pub continues outside as he and Sam walk home, and it escalates in the usual fashion, which means that after trading a couple of blows Gene has hold of Sam’s lapels and has him pinned up against an alley wall.
But there’s something in Sam’s eyes and the set of his mouth this night that makes Gene’s words die on his lips and instead of arguing his case he’s rooted to the spot, breathing heavily. And Sam raises his chin, challenging Gene in a way that has nothing to do with their heated words and everything to do with heat of another kind entirely.
Gene can see Sam’s pulse beating in his neck and he can’t for the life of him remember the point he was trying to make. So instead he leans in and kisses him.
