Alwyn
"Do you believe in ghosts?" Alwyn asked as the credits rolled.
"I absolutely believe in ghosts," John nodded. "I've seen one. I know they're real."
Alwyn still seemed doubtful, but didn't argue. There was no harm in believing - As long as it didn't become a delusion.
He hummed a bit, then stretched and turned off the telly.
"Yes," Alwyn nodded, fidgeting a little, then moving to straddle John's lap. It was a bold move for the young doctor. Generally he waited for John to make the first move.
"I'm not actually tired," Alwyn admitted, resting his hands lightly on John's shoulders. "I still have a lot of energy."
Alwyn leaned in to meet him halfway, kissing him softly. Even now the doctor sometimes seemed nervous when they kissed. As though he wasn't confident he was doing it right.
"I want you also," Alwyn said, holding on a little tighter. "Do you want to lay with me?"
Alwyn joined him a moment later, hesitating a beat, then starting to strip down.
Bare, he climbed into bed beside him.
"Hi," Alwyn said softly, settling in closer, not sure why he was suddenly so nervous.
"Love you too," Alwyn said softly, returning the touches with gentle exploration of his own.
Alwyn parted his lips slightly, settling in nearer and holding on.
He wanted to apologize, to say he was sorry he was so unsure and awkward. Instead he just pawed lightly at the other man, wanting John to know he was wanted.
"I do?" Alwyn asked, realizing he'd never thought much about his own smell, beyond being aware of controlling odor with soap and deodorant.
"...What do I smell like?"
"You do that?" Alwyn asked quietly, wondering why he never thought to do things like that. Why he couldn't be more romantic, like John.
