Running his hand across the stubble growing from Russell’s cheek, the blonde hunter could remember a time not even ten years ago that he reverently looked up to the man he was currently straddling. Blaine still looked up to his old teacher, still respected him as an apprentice should, but they were equals now, and he displayed his respect in other ways. Russell pushed his hand aside so that he could bring a cup up to his lips, drinking deeply from it as he looked up into a pair of equally blue eyes. In that glance during this private time Blaine could feel those feelings he knew were there. There was more to that heady glance than just the lust of lovers, or even the trust of master and apprentice, just like there was more to Russell than his bravado and crass exterior. He would never say his master was an overly complicated man, but he knew there was far more than a casual glance would show.

The cup came down and Blaine’s hand restarted its exploration, rough fingers ran down stubble and over the older man’s throat. The violation of Russell’s personal space was nothing new, but how he went about it changed drastically over the years. Sitting astride the raven haired man’s lap, he had simply walked over and placed one knee on either side of him and settled his weight comfortably on Russell’s legs. He hadn’t flopped down, he was too heavy for that and it was too young an act to attempt at his age. He was accommodated with nary a thought as he could feel the legs he was about to rest on slide a little further apart and heard the heels drag against the floor as they were slid inwards to brace for the additional weight. The first time he had done this he had been received with caution and slight disdain. The smile on his face probably hadn’t helped matters, but now he did it without a glimpse of amusement, nor anything overly emotional.

Russell allowed him this, sometimes, a private acknowledgment of the closeness of their relationship. The man never had any problems controlling the emotions in his eyes and they were laden with meaning now, the back of his head resting on the couch as he stared up at him, waiting. Blaine leaned down slowly, pressing a soft kiss to the other man’s lips. It was a far cry from their usual passion-filled bickering. The hand that had been trailing slowly down the muscular neck made its way over his chest, fingers running through the patch of hair that extended to a trail further below. Fingers of his other hand betrayed their position as they ran through the black hairs along the side of his face, pushing them back as he gave a firmer kiss. Their eyes locked, it was some unknown signal that had their mouths opening in unison, tongues snaking out to run alongside the other. The power wasn’t in the kiss yet. Blaine was still enjoying his time, and for now that meant slow languid kisses that built up the desire.

Hands on his thighs didn’t surprise him, but he stayed them with his own, not wanting it to end just yet. The kiss grew deeper and their eyes drooped closed as he started to press himself against Russell, his arousal starting to concentrate in his lower regions. The hands on his thighs escaped his hold and slid up and around, sliding beneath his boxers to squeeze his ass. It wasn't hard, and more like a gentle kneading than a hard grasp of wanting. They were gone within seconds, back down his thighs and then up again to his sides, where they stayed, keeping him close. It didn't take Blaine long to demand more from the kiss, press a little harder, grind himself up against the other man a tad more insistently. When it came to things like this they could both be on the impatient side, but the hands were still just holding.

It was a signal that might have meant nothing at all, a soft growl in the back of Blaine's throat, that broke the dam and set off their usual course of events. The atmosphere around them, heavy with something, lifted and they could breathe normally again. Whatever those times proved, they were infrequent and had no set trigger, but that was alright. For both of them.
