[Frank cups the back of his head and he nuzzles right on back. He is welcome to stay there. A solid place for him against his body. Perched here in his lap, Mike is also holding him down. A wonderful, calming weight. The nerves of his body are settling too, heart still at an accelerated pace.]
[ He plans on it. Staying right there, relaxed and sated. He can feel how it helps Frank relax as well and it's just another thing they get to share with one another. He lets his hands start to run gently over his shoulders and chest, smoothing over the skin. ]
I've missed it too. Missed you.
[ He grins again and drops a kiss to Frank's collarbone. ]
What if I told you I didn't have anywhere to be tomorrow?
[Near by at stakeouts. Popping in to give him messages. The daylight and having Mike be popular with visits prevented a criminal like Frank Castle coming around. They still were able to steal a moment or two. A kiss, a touch, a quiet conversation.
This is a real escape for Frank. Mike's hands touch over him and heal wounds that no one can see.]
If...you told me something like that then I wouldn't let you leave for the whole damn day.
[ Those moments spent close by were something to hold on to as he healed from the docks. The messages dropped in helped a lot when he couldn't hear so far as he usually did cause his head was clogged from the cold and damp. The stolen moments after once he was on the mend make it better. Soft, shared words. A couple of moments at night stolen on the rooftop even if they were just sitting together.
Mike thinks it's a blessing to find these moments. For Frank to find healing with them moreso. ]
Am I like some sorta elephant stomping around to those ears?
[All in good humor. Those keen senses have just had him locked in for some time. Mike could pick him out of a crowd. What's a quiet rooftop or fire escape by comparison?]
Then I'm not gonna let you go, Red.
[Arms stay around him, their bodies still fit together. Frank is going flaccid for the time being. Staying in the embrace is more important to him right now. God does he feel better here. He kisses Mike's mouth, slow and melting. There's enough room for him to lay back, which he does, pulling on the other man to slide on down with him.]
[ Yeah, he went there. It's amusing though. It feels like it's been too long since he's been so attuned to anyone else. Those quiet moments mean the world to him. That Frank would take the time to come and see him like that. Not that Mike wouldn't do the same. ]
Better not.
[ Coming down from the high they were just on but still wrapped around each other is an amazing feeling. Yeah, they'll have to clean up soon, but they can enjoy this while it lasts. He returns the kiss, deepening it with a slide of his tongue. It's nothing rushed and just right for the moment as he's pulled down to lay with Frank. He can feel him slip free from where they were fit together at the movement and knows that he's going to feel it later. Not that anyone here is complaining about that. ]
[A smile all the way through no matter. It isn't like Frank is oblivious to the fact that he does have a sense of presence. Stealth is possible. Why bother? He doesn't want stealth results. Not like he could stop his breathing or anything. He'll never, ever pass under that radar accurate sense.]
Not a chance, I got you all to myself right here and right now.
[Both hands rub on up Mike's bare back. The sweat on his skin hasn't removed the pleasure and charm of feeling over his fit body. A shower will be in the cards later. Maybe more sex.]
[ Said with a laugh. At least that he remembers. Mike laughs lightly as he says it. He leans in to press his forehead to his cheek, nose brushing along a stubbly cheek. ]
All this time. Who knows what can happen?
[ They don't get consecutive amounts of time like this. No, it isn't days on end, but hours at least and that is more than they usually manage to eke out of their lives. He shivers a little at the touch of Frank's hands over cooling skin. A shower and the possibility of more later is enticing enough. Until then this more than tides Mike over.
Another peppering of kisses along his jaw and neck. He hums softly after. ]
I oughta--[he doesn't even bother committing to a threat anymore. They're empty because his heart is so full. Frank combs through Mike's hair and pets his body down. Nuzzling and curling close, he sometimes makes him think of a cat. Just affectionate motions and touches that are unique to them. That's part of what makes these moments so goddamn special.
There's no one like Mike Murdock. Matt is similar, sure. When it comes down to it they are still two very separate people.]
Good things, ony good thing.
[Especially since they're not going to hit the streets for anything more than maybe food or a drink. That's not even a given. They might stay holed up in this shitty apartment. When they're together its a refuge, dare Frank even think of it as a paradise. His hand leaves Mike's body only long enough to haul up a blanket. The shiver might be a residual of pleasure, might be a chill.]
What? Come on. I'm not gonna think you're pretty just because I got you naked. I'm calling it exactly as I see it. Do I gotta elaborate, counselor?
Ought to what? [ He laughs at the half-spoken threat. Sighing happily he melts into Frank's touch in the afterglow and slings an arm around his middle. His man's heart is starting to get back to normal from the exertion between them, and he can feel how content he is by the sound of it.
These moments here are the ones he lives for. A thumb brushes idly over his skin. ]
I like the sound of that. Only good things.
[ The idea of just staying in unless they need to eat or get a few snacks is more than enticing. They could just order in. Mike has some cash on him. They could just order in. He's grateful for the hauling up of the blanket and shifts to get a shoulder underneath to stay warm. He lays his cheek on the other man's shoulder and his face stretches into a grin when he makes that comment. ]
But it doesn't hurt, I bet. [ A laugh. ] No, no elaborations. No work talk of any kind just---just this. Just us.
[ He lets his hand wander to find one of Frank's and then threads their fingers together. ]
You wanna know? I don't make hollow threats. [Which are absolutely separate from threats made in joking. He cannot complete the menace that's required. The sexual tension and now the calm, almost melting feeling against the bed and below Mike is not at all typical to Frank's life. He makes his heart beat faster and slower, peak interest and beautiful, wonderful afterglow.]
Uh huh. Now you're catching on. We'll get some nosh.
[Frank lightly touches over Mike's face as it rests to his skin. Stubble and the apple of his cheek. The corners of his eyes crinkle when he smiles and pulls swells of love from him each and every time.]
...I'm still gonna tell you that I think you're handsome.

Feels so good to be with you again.
