We’ll do exactly that. It’s been a long time since I’ve played hide and seek.

(Bruce wanted to kiss him. Wanted to curl tightly against him and soak in the warmth.)

Mhm. I’ll wash you too. I promise. I’ll do it good.

(Bruce practically keened at the attention. It was all he could want and more.)

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 13d

—me about?

(Bruce hesitated, attempting to find the right words to say.)

I don’t see you as just someone I sleep with. You’re my best friend, so I promise that if you wanna talk, I’m here.

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 13d

—or softly on his thigh.)

You don’t feel any sort of connection to her?

(Finally, Bruce couldn’t help himself, a hand resting on Johnny’s arm. It was just an attempt to be close. An attempt to bring any sort of comfort.)

Is uh… is there somethin’ happenin’ between you two that you’d wanna tell—

(Johnny’s attempt at the saying made him smile. Not because he wanted to laugh at him. Far from it. Instead, he found it extremely endearing.)

That’s close enough. It gets the point across.

(Bruce actively fighting off the urge to reach over and gently lay his hand on Johnny. Tenderly on his arm—

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 14d

—hard.)

You’d find me anywhere? Didn’t know you were that dedicated.

(There was a certain strain to his voice. A real effort to stay calm. Either way, that thankfully quickly turned into surprised laughter.)

I didn’t think you would actually wash me! No complaints from me, for once.

(In the very back of Bruce’s mind, something screamed and said that was something he should be afraid of, but the majority of his brain told him instead that that was one of the hottest things Johnny had ever said to him and he was actively trying to keep himself calm enough to not instantly get—

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 14d

—thinking about it.)

But yeah, I think settlin’ down with just one person in the future could be fun.

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 14d

—genuinely enjoy her company. It’s just… well— I’m 20 years old. That’s a little too young to think about anythin’ too serious.

(Bruce paused, turning the idea around a few times in his head. Suddenly, his mind was so filled with the idea of a future with Johnny that he had to actively stop—

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 14d

Anythin’ I want?

(Bruce teased, attempting to pass it off as a joke, but somewhere inside that excited him in a way that he couldn’t even possibly find the words or thoughts to understand or express.)

I mean… no, not really. Isla is a very good person. She’s good hearted and beautiful and I—

—(Bruce responded with a rather unconvincing whine.)

I think you’ll just have to bathe me yourself, honestly…

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 15d

I can think of a lot worse things than you followin’ me around like that.

(Bruce didn’t want to sound like he was too desperate, but he meant every word he had said. Since he had spilled that thought, he decided to leave his spiel on the best places to sniff someone until later.)

I’m still tired.—

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 15d

—I’d try something like that. If it was someone I was real serious about? I’d have to have them only do myself. I couldn’t share. They should be mine and mine only, you know?

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 15d

Maybe I’ll feel confident enough to tell you what to do some other time.

(Bruce grinned playfully, slowly inching himself ever closer to Johnny so they could have some sort of connection that he clearly craved but refused to acknowledge.)

If it was someone I was just fuckin’ around with? Yeah,—

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 17d

—either. It just smells real. It smells like a human.

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 17d

See? There’s a smell there. Somethin’ human. Somethin’ real.

(Strangely enough, Bruce thought he loved being on the receiving end of his strange philosophy as the giving end. It felt way too much like being adored and he would chase that feeling forever, surely.)

It doesn’t really smell bad—

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 17d

—he so desperately needed. Or that’s at least what he thought. Nevertheless, he more than happily shook Johnny’s hand.)

Anything you want me to take in particular?

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 17d

Exactly. Who the hell can tell us what we can and can’t do when we’re in my own house?

(Suddenly Robbie was bombarded with thoughts about what it might feel like to say ‘our own house’ but he knew that was ridiculous and just an example of him latching onto someone who would give him the attention—

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 18d

—the hot spray. Being near Johnny while experiencing it was the absolute icing on the cake too.)

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 18d

People still have a natural smell, especially on some parts of their bodies. It’s not just sweat. It’s uh— it’s just human smell. Somethin’ about the skin and pheromones of somethin’ crazy like that.

(Bruce waited no time in hopping in the shower with Johnny, apparently more than eager to be under—

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 18d

—to see them too, but I’d have to be pretty crazy to turn down somethin’ like a blow job, honestly.

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 18d

Exactly! Controllin’ bastard, not lettin’ people whatever the hell that they want to do.

(Definitely personal then. Maybe Bruce would reveal something more about it sometime. Hopefully. For now, it still felt extremely difficult to even joke about.)

I was gonna bring them with me because I wanted—

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 19d

—your ass, but I can think of a few other places…

(The crook of his leg, right where it attached onto his body. That was the ideal spot, but Bruce wasn’t nearly brave enough to say that.)

Maybe somewhere else after we take a shower.

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 19d

It’s not a bad smell. I mean, it’s intense, but it’s really not as bad as you would think. It’s uh… it smells real. It smells like you, if that makes any sense.

(Bruce wasn’t sure how to explain it, but there was clearly something romantic about it to him. Something pure and human.)

Maybe not—

1

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙤.ᐟ @policebrat.bsky.social · 19d

—to stir up. Quickly, he turned his attention to the film.)

I can sneak you out anything that they bring into work. Sometimes they take people’s porn because we’re supposed to reinforce a law that stupid for no good reason.
