Always Hungry by Jane St. Clair (R)

Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE
Pairing: Bobby/St John
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] 3jane
Author Website: Janefic

Why this must be read: When Pyro left with Magneto and Mystique at the end of X2, it spawned a thousand stories explaining why, and taking a look at what happens next. This is one of the best of them. You can feel St John's frustration with Bobby, and the intensity of his adolescent hunger for more than he knows how to get. And Jane St. Clair paints a sharp picture in just a few words of what it's like for him after X2, looking back and looking forward.

Excerpt:

The bed he left, if it still exists, smells like him, but it smells like Bobby, too. Because Bobby needs, all the time. He wants and wants and he can't ever touch. He always says, "We're working on it," meaning him and Rogue, but they aren't, not really. Rogue is fun and pretty, but she's poison to a touch, and no amount of Bobby wanting is going to change that. Bobby has to get his skin fix other ways.

They never start out in more than t-shirts and boxers, and usually St John's shirt comes off in the first minutes. Bobby's mouth goes all over his skin -- down his throat, across his chest, over his belly. Hands everywhere. He never thought about his skin before, other than checking his face for the usual teenage damage, but Bobby makes him love it. Like he's slick and sexy and fast, smooth under Bobby's palms.

Always Hungry
