rsadelleHappy Halloween! Welcome to the fifth annual edition of virtual trick-or-treating.
Knock or ring the bell by leaving me a comment, and I'll reply with a treat of some sort. It might be a fic snippet, a picture, a song, or something else I come up with in the moment. I will be virtually handing out treats until around eight PM Pacific Time, but if I don't get to it by then, I'll give you a treat tomorrow, or by the end of the day Saturday at the latest. Lurkers and anonymous trick-or-treaters are welcome! (But if you want a treat specific to your interests, let me know something about why you know me.)

Love You Best (3/3)
Date: 2013-11-01 03:33 am (UTC)"Hey," Segs says.
Tyler raises an arm in a lazy wave.
Segs plops down next to Tyler and rubs behind Marshall's ears when he lunges halfway across Tyler's lap to get pets.
Segs sighs and leans back against the couch when Marshall's satisfied. Tyler can feel him staring at the side of his face.
"What?"
"I know you don't like Jamie-"
"I never said that," Tyler says. "He's fine. I don't know why everyone thinks I have a problem with him."
Segs holds up his hands. "Okay." He lets his hands drop again. "I'm not replacing you, you know."
"I know that," Tyler says, even though, okay, maybe he had that thought about Benn once or twice.
"I still love you the best," Segs says, and he doesn't say it like he's joking around or like it's a quick, "I love you, man." He says it like he means it, and Tyler looks at him, really looks at him.
"Yeah?" he asks.
"Yeah." Segs licks his lips, a motion Tyler can't help following with his eyes. He jerks his eyes up, and Segs is staring at him now, eyes wide. "Jamie said," he says, and then grabs Tyler's wrist when Tyler doesn't even move. "No, listen. I kept telling him it wasn't like that with us, but he said it could be. Could it be?"
And, well, it's not like they haven't been circling around this for years. No girlfriend and no contract also means no reason not to go there now.
"Yes," Tyler says. He slips his wrist out of Segs' hold so he can hold his hand instead. "I love you the best too."
Segs grins at him so wide that it makes it hard for Tyler to kiss him.
