"Tommy feels more like you anyway," Just like Gar felt more like him than Garfield.

He guides him down to steal a soft kiss. "We'll know when we need to."

[doubled_speed]

Tommy is him, so that works.

"God, we're Thomas and Garfield. We sound like nerds."

[garrrr]

"We kind of are nerds," Gar doesn't disagree.

tommy don't call me out like this

[doubled_speed]

"Wow man, speak for yourself. I'm fucking cool," Tommy disagrees, rather energetically. He doesn't do that comic shit. Or watch movies a hundred times over. Or identify with characters in fiction or that stuff.

LMFAO

[garrrr]

"Well, i'm a total nerd," Gar laughs and as evidenced by all the video games, the walls covered in vintage movie posters and music posters and a long shelf full of vinyls.

[doubled_speed]

"Nah. You're just a fan of things," Tommy dismisses. Because there is no way that his boyfriend is a nerd. Nerds aren't his type.

Nerds are absolutely his type.

[garrrr]

"Uh huh..." Gar snorts. "You're ridiculous Tommy."

[doubled_speed]

"I'm not. I'm your baby daddy. So you better respect me."

Yeah, now he's just having fun.

[garrrr]

Gar bursts out laughing at that, his smile bright and he throws a pillow at Tommy’s face.

“Definitely ridiculous.”

[doubled_speed]

"I'm also older than you. I think."

Birthdays don't really mean a lot to Tommy, he doesn't bother celebrating.

"So respect your elders."

[garrrr]

"Is that why you're slowing down..." Gar teases even though while Tommy might be older than him it's not by a lot.

[doubled_speed]

Slowing down? Oh yeah, Tommy pulls back at that assertion and squints at Gar. Like he might just be on the edge of being annoyed at his boyfriend. Mate.

"If I'm slowing down, there's no way you can know that."

[garrrr]

Gar raises a brow and he sort of senses he might have hit a spot he shouldn't really press.

"If you were, I'd know."

[doubled_speed]

Maybe it is a spot. Mostly because Tommy knows he isn't the fastest there is and he HATES it. A lot. Because he deserves to be. He should be the fastest there is, was, and ever will be. And he'll never manage that, because he's only a runner.

"Would you, though? You can't see someone going mach five."

[garrrr]

Tommy, please...

"It's intuition," Gar offers and he reaches gently to catch the other's wrist and tug him. "Come here, closer."

[doubled_speed]

Intuition he can accept. But with that hand gripping him and tugging, Tommy absolutely leans into the attention.

"What's up?"

[garrrr]

Gar tugs him closer still.

"I really missed you."

[doubled_speed]

"Then don't go next time," Tommy grumbles against Gar's neck. Because he didn't want to miss his boyfriend. Ever.

[garrrr]

Gar mentally flinches at that but at least the other is pressed against his neck so his reaction is likely kept hidden.

"I'm sorry..." he says softly, his hand sliding into the other's hair and cradling his head as he hesitates.

"I was gonna try and get you to have sex with me but now I think maybe you should hold out on me," he is half joking half serious because he still feels guilty for hiding.

[doubled_speed]

Oh wait, what, sex?

"Is that... safe?" Tommy asks. He never payed attention in biology. "Because if it is... I don't mind showing you just how much I love you. Reminding you just how mine you are."

[garrrr]

"How much you love me?" Gar can't help but hang onto that part for a long minute really.

"It's safe," Gar confirms. He thinks later on they might have to be more careful but early on it's definitely okay. And he doesn't feel horribly nauseous and gross at the moment and he'd missed Tommy in every way and he wanted to be close to him.

[doubled_speed]

Don't ask for a value. Tommy can't quantify it.

"And no one is going to come down here while we... you know?"

[garrrr]

He doesn't need an actual value it just feels amazing to hear it. He curls his fingers into the other's scalp.

"I'm pretty sure even Cliff will know to knock now that you're here," he says.

[doubled_speed]

"Well, if you're sure..."

He immediately pulls his shirt off and smiles at Gar. "Let see if I still can't make you beg for my kids."

[garrrr]

"Tommy no," Gar laughs at that, but his eyes move over the other's chest.

He shifts to pull off his own shirt after a moment's hesitation because while he's not really, really showing his body is definitely changing and showing Tommy makes him feel a bit self-conscious.
