Wet
DM/EW, PG-13


Elijah reached up and flicked the brim of Dom's hat. "Wackjob," he said good-naturedly, brushing off the rainwater.

Dom shot Lij a smug look. "I am perfectly dry and warm." He gave Lij's buzzed head a vicious rub. "Unlike you, I won't be found alone in my apartment one day, tragically stricken dead by hypothermia."

Lij stuck out his bottom lip and pouted at Dom. "Well, it's good to know you care."

Dom kissed Lij on the forehead. "Shut up and get on the plane." He circled his arm around Lij's waist, and they walked quickly through the rain and up the stairs.

Dom put down his magazine with a frown. "What are you staring at?"

Lij gazed a bit longer, then slowly shook his head. "Why the hell are your pants rolled up, Dom?"

Dom lifted his leg to look at one cuff. He shrugged, and put his foot back down on the floor. "They didn't get wet, did they?" He reached down and tugged at the still-soaked bottom of Lij's pants. "Can't say the same for you, huh?"

Lij looked at Dom and laughed. "What is it about you and getting wet? You're so weird."

Dom glanced down at Lij's obviously flared pants and decided not to say anything.

A few silent minutes passed between them, broken only by the flicking of magazine pages, the low hum of the plane engine, and murmured conversation between Billy and Andy. Finally, Lij threw down his magazine with a sigh of frustration. "I can't stand your fucking cuffs anymore, Dom."

Dom sat up defiantly, his legs slightly open. "Why don't you make me unroll them?"

"I'll do it myself!"

Lij slid out of his seat and onto the floor of the plane. He squatted in front of Dom, balancing on the backs of his heels, and slid his fingers under Dom's left cuff. He unrolled once, then again. Feeling a slight dampness in the fabric, he laughed to himself. So much for keeping them dry...

Before he could finish the thought, the plane bumped slightly. For a moment he lost his balance, and the top of his head brushed against Dom's inner thigh. He reached out a hand to steady himself, bracing against Dom's chair, then slowly looked up. Dom's eyes met his, and Lij felt his breath suddenly catch in his throat. He let himself fall backwards, and watched from the ground as Dom deliberately rose and walked purposefully toward the bathroom.

Lij blinked a few times, then jumped to his feet and almost ran down the aisle after Dom. But he stopped a few paces in, suddenly aware of several pairs of curious eyes on him. He looked around, his mind working.

"Uhh -- Dom, wait!" He continued walking, a little slower. "I, uh -- I didn't mean it like that!" He reached the bathroom door and quickly let himself in, not seeing the even more confused expressions of the other passengers.

Dom was sitting on the toilet seat, the top down, staring expectantly at Lij. Before he could say a word, Lij was straddling him, kissing him hungrily. Dom immediately reciprocated, placing his hands on either side of Lij's face. Finally, Lij pulled back, then pressed his forehead against Dom's, smiling down at him. "I love you way too much."

Dom smiled back at him, then put something on top of Lij's head. His hat. Lij reached up and knocked the hat off, pretending not to notice as it bounced into the sink. "Trust me, I can keep myself warm."

Lij stole another kiss, then slowly slid off of Dom's lap, sinking to the ground. With a devilish grin, he reached out for Dom's cuff. "Let me just roll this back up for you..."

Dom bent to grab Lij's hand. "Look at me." A half-smile formed on his face. "I don't care about getting wet this time."

Lij rose to his knees, and Dom bent slightly, their lips meeting again.

Dom's shirt fell carelessly to the ground under the sink, a small wet spot forming on the right sleeve.

Billy looked over and caught Andy's gaze, and they both broke into quiet laughter.

A muffled thud came from the bathroom.

"Some fight, huh?"
