[ it's been over a year since the rances, months now since the vatican officially sanctioned tomas as an exorcist, twelve days since they— because it's they, even if marcus isn't officially working for the church. twelve days since bennett sent them to vienna, to see to a young man named jakob who'd been hearing voices.
marcus had warned tomas about the dangers of complacency, and tomas understood why now; they'd done two exorcisms since casey, and they'd both been simple in comparison. the demons hadn't taken tomas seriously.
this recent one had. there's a learning curve to becoming a good exorcist, or so marcus kept saying, and he'd let tomas fight the demon up until it became a danger to the host, then he'd stepped in.
god likes it better when they work together; the words flow more easily, their voices join in as one. tomas knows he can be strong on his own. with marcus he feels unbeatable.
they have a room in jakob's house, it's a single bed and a bathroom that have seen very little use since their arrival. when jakob's eyes clear up and his voice is his own again, after niceties are exchanged; thank yous, a doctor is called, the family reassured. tomas and marcus go to that little room and close the door behind them.
once they call bennett he'll have them on a plane outside the country within hours, but it's late and they can afford a few hours to take a breather. ]

[ his voice is clear, even though his face isn’t visible. his hands are loosely curled in tomas’ shirt. ]

Nothing about this has been obvious, actually.
[ the whole thing. marcus doesn’t do christmas, or family, or being so taken with someone that their absence hollows him out inside. ]

[ he's still rubbing marcus' back, trying to be comforting ]

I don’t have a long and storied history of warm fuzzies, to absolutely no one’s surprise.

[ what if kissing? ]

Thanks.

[ kisses him briefly ]

[ marcus kisses him again, more deeply this time. tomas’ mouth tastes like mint, clean and lovely. marcus, who hasn’t brushed his teeth yet, still carries lingering hints of the expensive frascati wine he’d stolen from a faraway cellar. and he still hasn’t stopped smiling. ]

My family is next door.

[ brushing kisses over his mouth repeatedly shhhh. ]

Marcus, come on.

We’re already being perfectly quiet.

[ marcus tips his head, dragging his mouth over tomas’ jaw and licking over the outside of his ear. ]
And you’ve been quite extraordinary with firsts lately.
no subject
[ he's moaning already, prospects for quiet aren't good. ]

You want to give it a go? Just this once?
