A Dream is a Wish

Sequel to: Dreaming


Chapter 1
Vin tried to forget the dream but it was impossible. Especially when he had to go to work, like today. Vin watched JD and Buck horsing around across the way. He ran his fingers over his lips and sighed. His relationship with Chris was still new and Vin felt guilty thinking about someone else. Vin wished he never had that damned dream. He turned back to his computer and tried to do some work. He ended up staring at the same screen for over an hour.

"Hey Vin," JD said placing his hand on his shoulder.

"What?" Vin said jumping away.

"Didn't mean to scare you," JD apologized.

"That's alright," Vin said. "What can I do for you?"

"It's time for lunch Junior," Buck teased "And we're waiting for you."

"Yeah, Vin, you were staring into space," Nathan said.

"Got something on my mind," Vin said.

"Anything you want to talk about?" Josiah asked.

"Nah," Vin replied shaking his head. "It's something I have to work out."

"May I suggest you work it out over sushi at the Japanese restaurant?" Ezra suggested.

"Hold on there fancy pants we ain't goin' to no sushi place," Buck protested.

"I believe I won the right to pick the destination for our repast," Ezra said. "Or have you forgotten?"

"I guess I forgot," Buck said.

"You remember, Buck," Chris said as he walked over. "You bet Ezra he wouldn't be in before noon yesterday."

"Oh all right," Buck gave in. "I'll eat that damned stuff, but if I get sick it's your fault."

"We could go to that new restaurant that's both Japanese and Chinese," Vin suggested.

"Deal!" Buck cried.

"How barbaric," Ezra said.

They all laughed as they walked towards the elevator. While at the restaurant Vin kept looking at JD. He just couldn't help it. Chris watched Vin and smiled. The past couple of nights Vin had been talking in his sleep. He knew the sharpshooter was dreaming about JD. Chris was secure in their relationship. He knew Vin was just curious. Well he at least hoped that was all it was. If Vin wanted to be with JD, Chris wouldn't try to stop him. Chris almost choked on his soda as Vin quickly looked away when JD looked up.

JD didn't know what was going on with Vin. He kept watching him then looking away. JD just shook his head and went back to eating his Kung Po chicken.

Shit! Vin thought, What the hell am I doing? He sighed and concentrated on eating his food. Vin didn't know why he was thinking of JD so much, it was only a damned dream. He knew JD was involved with Casey. Vin looked over at Chris and saw his lips curved up in a small smile. He gave Chris his patented lopsided grin and went back to eating his lunch. When they were finished they all headed back to the office. Buck, JD and Chris drove over in Chris's Ram. Vin insisted on riding his motorcycle. JD wanted to ride with him but Vin quickly refused saying he didn't have another helmet. Ezra, Josiah and Nathan rode over in the Cherokee. Chris watched as Vin pulled out of the parking lot and maneuvered his motorcycle into traffic. He hated that damned Harley but never told Vin. The motorcycle was Vin's pride and joy.

"What is with that boy?" Buck asked out loud.

"Yeah, he's acting kind of weird even for Vin," JD said.

"The two of you have a fight?" Buck asked. The team knew of their relationship.

"Nope," Chris said. "Everything's fine."

"How can everything be fine?" Buck said. "He's as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

"Yeah and he keeps staring at me," JD said. "Then when I look up he quickly looks away."

"Alright, Vin hasn't been sleeping too good lately," Chris said being fairly vague. He knew these two wouldn't give up until he told them something. "He's been having these nightmares."

" 'Bout what?" Buck asked as Chris laid on the horn when someone cut him off.

"You know Vin," Chris smiled.

"He didn't tell you?" JD guessed.

"Nope."

"That boy's got to learn to open up," Buck said. "We're his friends."

"It's just his way," Chris said.

"Yeah he reminds me of you," Buck said with a grin as he glanced at his oldest friend. "He just ain't as mean."

They pulled up to the gate of the federal building behind Vin. He already had the gate up and Vin stayed in front of the sensor until Buck and Nathan drove by then followed. They pulled into their respective parking spaces and got out of the vehicles. Team seven piled into the elevator and rode up to the eleventh floor.

"I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food," Ezra said.

"Yeah, it was rather good," Josiah said.

Vin stood in the corner of the elevator leaning against the railing. Chris stood by but not too close. The sharpshooter wasn't comfortable in enclosed places and it always surprised Chris he would even get in the elevator. He asked Vin once about it and the smart aleck said he wasn't about to climb all those stairs now was he. The elevator opened and the team walked out and back to the bullpen.

"I need everyone's expense vouchers before you leave this afternoon," Chris said to remind them all. "Oh and Ezra..."

"Yes Mr. Larabee?" The undercover agent looked up from his desk.

"No you can't claim your Armani suit as an expense," Chris said with a smile as he walked into his office.

"When you gonna realize you ain't goin' to get that one past him," Buck said with a laugh.

"I believe with persistence he will eventually relent," Ezra said.

"Either that or he'll do it just to get you to stop," Vin said.

"Either way I get the Armani suit," Ezra said with a smile.

They all laughed as they got back to work. The rest of the afternoon was quiet. Vin really hated to be stuck in the office. He'd rather be out doing fieldwork but he had come to learn that a government job involved paper work, usually in triplicate. The sharpshooter painstakingly typed away at his computer. He was so engrossed with his work he didn't hear JD approach his desk.

"Hey Vin," JD called.

"Damn!" Vin cursed as he hit the wrong key and wiped out what he just typed.

"I'm sorry Vin," JD apologized. "I'll get it back for you."

"Was there something you needed?" Vin asked as he relinquished his seat to JD.

"Was just wondering how we were going to get back to your place after work," JD said as he typed a few commands.

"Huh?" Vin asked in confusion.

"Remember I asked if I could stay with you tonight?" he continued as he typed. "Buck has that date and he wanted the apartment."

"Oh damn," Vin cursed again. "I forgot. Hey Buck."

"Yeah Junior," Buck said from his desk.

"I forgot JD was coming back to my place," Vin said. "I only have the Harley but not an extra helmet."

"No problem," Buck said. "I'll drop the kid off."

"Can you do me one more thing," Vin said sheepishly.

"What," Buck said in a long suffering voice.

"There's no food at the apartment," Vin said with a smile.

"Don't worry I'll get us a bunch of snacks," JD said. "And some beer."

"Sounds good," Vin said.

"There you go," JD said as he got up.

"Thanks kid I didn't want to have to type that over again," Vin said with a sigh.

"You have to learn to save things more," JD said.

"I know," Vin said. "I just forget."

"Want me to set your computer so it backs up every few minutes?" JD asked.

"Yeah kid that would be great," Vin said. "I appreciate it."

"It's a good thing JD's around," Josiah said.

"Yeah sometimes that's all I'm good for," JD said sarcastically. " "JD I lost my file can you find it?' 'JD the computer just ate my damned report get in here!' "

"Well why do you think Chris hired you," Buck said. "You don't think it was for your shooting skills do ya?"

"Ha Ha," JD said as he came back to his desk. "I scored higher than you on the last pistol qualification."

"He'd been practicing real hard," Vin teased.

"Just you wait Vin," JD said. "I'll get you back later."

"All Mr. Tanner has to do is leave you locked outside his apartment for a short while," Ezra said. "You will be begging him to let you back in after the welcoming committee in that neighborhood is finished with you."

"Damn it all!" Vin shouted. "JD get over here and fix this damned thing."

Buck just started laughing as JD sighed and went back over to Vin's desk. Buck knew that deep down JD was thrilled they always asked him for help with the computers. He liked the fact that he knew something better than the others did. Buck couldn't understand why Vin had so much trouble with the computer at work. He had one at his apartment and it didn't seem to give him any trouble at all. Buck asked him why that was and Vin told him it was because his computer at home was used to him and the way he spelled things wrong. That his computer was slow and laid back like he was. Where as the government computer didn't like some Texan using wrong words and such. Buck said that was ridiculous but Vin insisted the computer didn't like him. JD printed Vin's expense report and handed it to him.

"You just have to know how to talk to it," JD said.

"Hate to tell ya Kid," Vin said with a smile. "We just don't speak the same language. Now Ezra, on the other hand, the computer loves."

"Yeah it likes the way he talks," JD laughed.

Vin took his report and walked to Chris's office. Vin opened the door without knocking and walked in. Chris had given up reprimanding Buck or Vin to knock since they ignored him anyway. He was just glad the others didn't do it.

"Here ya go Chris," Vin said handing him the report. "Would it be OK if I knock off early?"

"Any reason?" Chris asked as he skimmed the paper.

"Forgot JD was coming over to the apartment tonight," Vin replied. "Buck has a hot date and wanted theirs. Only problem is mines a mess since I've been spending so much time at your place."

"You think JD will even notice?" Chris smiled. "His room isn't what you'd call clean."

"I know but I just don't want him coming over to a mess," Vin said.

Chris stood up and walked around the desk and over to the door. He quietly locked it so no one could walk in and moved over to Vin. He took the younger man in his arms and kissed him. Vin was surprised but returned the kiss.

"I'll miss ya," Chris said as he pulled away.

"Me too," Vin said.

"This actually works out good," Chris said as he stepped away. "Travis called a meeting for tonight after work."

"You be careful driving home," Vin said.

"Yes dad," Chris smiled as he looked at his watch. "There's only an hour left. Since you're finished I guess you can go now."

"Thanks Chris, I'll see ya tomorrow."

"Have fun with JD."

Chris chuckled as Vin unlocked the door and left. Some how he had a feeling JD and Vin were going to do more than just watch TV tonight.

Chapter 2

Vin weaved his way through traffic on his way to his apartment. As he turned down a street heading for Puragatorio the fancy cars and SUV's became less. This was the territory of beat up jalopies. Vin surveyed the streets as he drove the Harley towards home. He noticed the gang graffiti on one of the buildings and shook his head. The Diablos had moved in on the Walkers territory. Vin made a mental note to keep an eye on things for awhile. As he neared his building he noticed a subtle change. There was less gang graffiti on the buildings surrounding his apartment. He'd been able to convince his neighbors in his apartment complex that they could fight against the gangs by setting up neighborhood watches. The abandoned lot next to the building was even converted into a playground for the kids. The large mural of cactus and wolves howling at the moon could be seen for a couple of blocks, announcing that this was Los Lobos territory. Vin's "gang" was different from the others in the 'hood. They didn't go out looking for trouble but they did keep an eye on things around their building. They were basically a watch dog group where the older kids looked after the younger ones. They avoided gang fights and tried to stay out of trouble. Vin pulled into the fencing surrounding the playground and parked his Harley next to a large chain attached to a bolt in the wall. As soon as the loud engines were off the children swarmed Vin.

"Hola senor Vin," Carmen called as he walked towards the stoop with various little ones hanging off his back.

"Howdy Carmen," Vin said as he kneeled down and let the kids off. "Y'all go and play now."

"You spoil them," Carmen chuckled. "What brings you home so early?"

"JD's coming over for the night," Vin said taking a seat next to her. "And you can't see my floor."

"Yes, I know, Marta told me," Carmen laughed.

"That's what I get for letting the kids use my computer," Vin sighed. "They tell their parents what a slob I am."

"You just need a good woman to take care of you," Carmen teased.

Vin rolled his eyes as he stood up. He'd heard this lecture from Carmen enough. Vin gave the old woman a kiss on the cheek then headed inside. As he walked towards the elevator he saw an 'out of order' sign on it again. Vin sighed and headed for the stairs. He was glad he only had to climb four flights of stairs to his apartment. As he entered the stairwell he saw Yolanda struggling with two laundry baskets.

"Give me those," Vin scolded the pregnant woman.

"Thank you Vin," she said in gratitude.

"Where's Mitch?" Vin asked as they continued up the stairs.

"He started his new job," she said proudly.

"That's great," Vin said. "Which one did he get?"

"The security job over at the mall," she answered. "I want to thank you for giving him such a nice reference letter. It helped a lot."

"Weren't no trouble," Vin said as he pushed opened the door for the second floor.

Vin carried the laundry to her apartment and then left. He made it to his place without meeting anyone else. As he went to open the door he discovered the chain across it.

"Who is it?" said a young female voice.

"Carrie, it's Vin."

He heard the chain being pulled back then the door opened. "I'm sorry Mr. Tanner," said the small blonde standing in his doorway.

"That's alright," Vin smiled as he walked. "I'm glad you take precautions."

"I'm almost done with my report," Carrie said as she went back to the computer. "I can go if you want."

"Nope finish what you're doin'," Vin said. "I have to pick up this mess."

Carrie laughed as Vin looked around his apartment trying to decide where to start first. Vin headed for his room. He pulled out his keys and unlocked the dead bolt. He kept some of his guns in a small safe in his room and didn't want the kids going in there. Vin grabbed his Army duffel bag and went back to the living room. He grabbed the clothes and started to stuff them inside. Everything needed to be washed but he just hadn't had the time. They just got finished wrapping up a case and Vin figured he could lug everything out to Chris's this weekend. Once the clothes were up he piled the newspapers by the door to take down to the recycle bin. Forty-five minutes later Carrie was finished with her report and was vacuuming. Vin was in the kitchen washing the dishes that were piled in the sink. There was a knock at the door and Carrie turned off the vacuum.

"Who is it?" she called.

"It's your mother," came the reply.

Carrie cautiously opened the door with the chain still on. Vin was standing in the door to the kitchen when Carrie closed the door and took off the chain to let her mother in.

"Hello Mrs. Baxter," Vin said.

"Good evening Vin," she said. "I'm glad to see Carrie helping you for letting her use the computer."

"She didn't have to," Vin said.

"I'm almost done mom," Carrie said as she flipped the switch to turn the vacuum on.

They watched as she took a few more sweeps by the couch then turned it off. She coiled the cord and pushed it over to the closet then placed it inside. Vin thanked her for her help as she got her report and followed her mother out of the apartment. Vin went back into the kitchen to finish the dishes. Half-hour later he was done and went over to the fridge. There was hardly any food but the bottom two shelves were stacked with beer. The poker game had been at Vin's place the last time and this was what was left. He grabbed a Corona and headed for the living room. He plopped on the couch and drained the bottle. He grabbed the remote for the TV and turned it on. Vin was flipping through the channels when there was a knock at the door.

"It's open," Vin called.

"It's open!" Buck scolded as he walked in carrying grocery bags. "How did you know we weren't someone gunnin' for ya?"

"Would you have knock if you were?" Vin asked with a smile.

"Yeah Buck probably would," JD said as he followed his roommate inside carrying pizza.

Vin took some of the bags from Buck and headed for the kitchen. JD put the pizza on the coffee table by the couch. He heard Buck lecturing Vin about locking his doors and finding out who it was before opening it. JD smiled knowing the look Vin had on his face. The sharpshooter could look very innocent when he wanted to.

"Now you kids behave," Buck said as he came out of the kitchen.

"Yes dad," JD said as he followed Buck to the door.

"Lock it," Buck said as he turned to JD. "You listen to Vin ya hear."

"Jeez, Buck, you act like something's going to happen," JD said. "I have stayed here before."

"Alright," Buck said. "I get the hint. I better see the both of you at work tomorrow."

JD pushed Buck out the door and closed it. He deliberately didn't lock it knowing Buck was still standing there. He wanted to see how long he would wait before he yelled. JD glanced at his watch. Five minutes went by before Buck yelled 'lock it'. JD laughed and did as Buck said.

"Damn, Buck, that was a record," JD yelled through the door.

JD laughed as he heard him mumble as he walked away. Vin came unto the living room carrying plates and four beers.

"How long did he wait?"

"Five minutes."

"Wow," Vin smiled.

"Couldn't hear what he said through the door, but I'm sure his ma would have washed his mouth out with soap," JD laughed.

They both took seats on the couch and Vin turned on the game. Over the next few hours the two of them finished the two pizzas, a bag of potato chips, two bags of Cool Ranch Doritos, a bowl of salsa and nachos and several beers. JD was enjoying the game as he sat holding a bowl of popcorn. He glanced over at Vin as the sharpshooter sat eating his second package of snowballs and another beer. JD never saw Vin drink so much before. He was pretty sure the quiet sharpshooter was on his seventh beer.

"God damn it ref!" Vin yelled throwing his wrapper at the TV. "That was a high stick if I ever saw one!"

JD smiled as he watched Vin get unsteadily to his feet and walk into the kitchen. He was surprised Vin could even walk straight. He'd seen Vin down several Tequila's and never feel a thing but beer seemed to be Vin's weakness. He came back carrying two more beers and handed one to JD.

"Don't you think you've had enough?" JD cautiously asked.

"Last one," Vin smiled. "Promise."

Vin bonelessly dropped on the couch next to him and laughed. JD had never seen Vin drunk and he was pretty sure he was. The usually quiet young man was starting to tell JD stories. He was just glad Vin was a happy drunk. JD turned his attention back to the game but was surprised when he felt Vin starting to nuzzle against his neck. The black haired agent was shocked at first but decided to lean back and enjoy it. He'd always wondered what Vin would be like after he found out about him and Chris. Being bi JD could appreciate Vin's looks. When he first told Casey about his sexual behavior she wasn't too happy until JD sat her down and explained. He couldn't help the way he felt and when they were done talking Casey understood. JD hissed as Vin nipped his neck. He didn't think Vin knew what he was doing and pushed him away.

"Hold on a minute Vin," JD said taking a grip on his shoulders.

"Why JD?" Vin said. "I want ya."

"You sure?"

"Ain't never been surer," Vin smiled.

"Alright but let's go into the bedroom," JD said. "It'll be more comfortable."

JD helped Vin to his feet as he hit the remote and turned off the TV. JD struggled with Vin as the taller man kept trying to get his shirt open as they walked back to the bedroom. JD just smiled as he led Vin down the hall.

Vin was dreaming again. He couldn't believe the feel of JD's tongue as it made lazy circles over his right nipple. Vin reached down and ran his fingers through JD's silky black hair. He liked the way it felt as JD moved up to his neck and began suck along his collarbone. Vin moaned as JD's talented tongue found the spot that drove him crazy. He could feel JD laugh as he continued along his jawbone and to his mouth. JD claimed his mouth and plunged his tongue deep inside. Vin shuddered as he felt the heat from JD's body as he stretched out naked on top of him. His cock jumped at the feel of JD. Vin ran his hands up and down JD's back as he continued to kiss him. JD broke the kiss and looked down at Vin.

"You ready for the ride of your life?" JD asked mischievously.

"Let's see what ya got," Vin challenged.

JD quickly slid down Vin's body and began to kiss along the inner thigh of his right leg. As he got closed to Vin's rock hard erection he deliberately didn't touch it as he moved to Vin's left leg. Vin groaned in disappointment and closed his eyes. JD laughed and continued to tease him.

Vin was going insane. He wanted desperately for JD to touch him. He needed a release soon and if JD wasn't going to do it then he would. Vin went to grab his own cock when JD slapped his hand away.

"That's mine," he said.

"Damn it then do somethin' with it," Vin growled.

"What, like this?"

Vin gaped as JD took Vin's cock deep in his mouth. Vin's hips bucked as JD began to suck on him. JD grabbed his hips and held them down on the bed.

"Ohmygod," Vin gasped.

JD was glad Vin was enjoying this but he thought he'd enjoy what he was going to do next even more. Without stopping what he was doing he reached over and grabbed the lotion he placed on the bed. He poured some in his hand and coated his fingers. As he continued to suck Vin's cock he reached under him and inserted two fingers. Vin's hips bucked and he nearly choked.

"Shit JD it's starting to hurt," Vin protested as he pushed back on JD's fingers. "You gotta finish me."

"Hold on," JD said as he pulled out his fingers. He wiped them on the towel he also had handy.

He poured another generous amount on his hands and coated his own cock. JD moaned in pleasure at the feel of his own hands. When he was done he placed his hard cock at Vin's opening and gently began to push. His head breached the opening and he cried out when Vin pushed hard towards him and embedded his cock to the hilt.

"Ah shit Vin," JD cried.

"Sorry, Pard, I couldn't wait," Vin moaned. "Now move."

JD was more than eager to comply. He never expected Vin to be so aggressive. They established a rhythm quickly and in no time JD was slamming into the lean sharpshooter. JD knew Vin needed relief also and grabbed his cock. Vin cried out and pushed hard against JD. It threw off their pattern but it was quickly established again. JD never expected Vin to be able to perform after all the alcohol he drank but obviously it had no effect on him. They continued at this frantic pace when all off a suddenly JD felt Vin begin to shudder. He slammed into him hard hitting his gland and Vin spurted his seed all over his chest. Vin's orgasm quickly sent JD over the edge and he came inside the taller man. JD kept thrusting until he was spent then collapsed across Vin's chest. They were both breathing hard and when JD was a little recovered he rolled to Vin's side.

"Damn Vin," was all JD could say.

JD was surprised when all of a sudden Vin began to snore. He propped himself on his elbows and looked at him. Vin had his head thrown back with his mouth open snoring. JD smiled and was just glad Vin made it through their lust before the effect of the alcohol hit. He wiped Vin down with the towel then went into the bathroom to get washed up. When he came back Vin had rolled over onto his side and was quiet. JD straightened the covers and climbed in. He spooned in behind Vin and fell asleep.

Vin shot up in a cold sweat. He regretted the sudden move when his head felt like it was going to explode. He couldn't believe he'd dreamed about JD again last night. This dream had been even more intense and left him wanting more. Vin moaned and put his head on his knees.

"Head hurt?" asked a familiar voice next to him. Vin's head shot up and he looked to the left. JD lay naked next to him.

"Aw shit," Vin cursed and dropped back on the pillow. "It wasn't a dream."

"Nope it wasn't," JD laughed.

"Aw hell, JD, I'm sorry," Vin said. "I was drunk."

"I'm not sorry," JD laughed. "You're one hell of a bronc."

"Shit," Vin cursed. "Buck's gonna kill me."

"Buck ain't ever finding out," JD assured him.

"Thanks kid," Vin sighed. "I don't know what's come over me. I want Chris but I've been dreaming about you."

"That's cause I'm irresistible," JD teased. "Don't worry, I know this was only a one time thing and I enjoyed it."

"But I thought you liked Casey?" Vin said confused.

"I do," JD smiled as he sat up. "I like both."

"You're bi?" Vin asked surprised.

"Yup. I get to chose the best of both worlds," JD laughed. "Just don't tell Buck. He'd never understand."

"Don't worry I won't," Vin said.

"What about Chris?" JD asked.

"I gotta tell him," Vin said. "He can read me like a book. He'll know."

"I figured as much," JD said. "It's alright."

"He won't do anything," Vin said. "I promise JD."

"I know. We better get ready for work."

Vin sat back up and moaned. It felt like there was a hoard of miners bang on the inside of his head.

"How many did I have?" Vin asked.

"Lost count at seven," JD admitted. "I'll take a shower first so you can lay back down."

Vin didn't mind at all and did just that. All too soon JD was at the side of the bed shaking his shoulder.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you," Vin said miserably.

JD got him up and into the shower. He left Vin and went to the kitchen to make coffee. JD hid a smile as Vin made his way to the kitchen.

"That bad huh?" Vin asked.

"Yeah," JD laughed.

Vin's eyes were bloodshot and he looked miserable. He went over to one of the coats hanging by the door and rummaged in the pocket. Vin pulled out a pair of sunglasses and pulled them on. He came back to the kitchen and took a sit at the small table. Vin nursed the coffee JD placed in front of him. He nibbled on the toast but didn't really eat it. JD ate a couple of devil dogs then went into the bedroom to pick up his stuff. He came back to find Vin waiting by the door.

"Got everything?" Vin asked.

"Think so," JD said. "If not I know where you live."

"You drive," Vin said as he held out his keys to the smaller man.

They made it to the office without any trouble. When they pulled in they found everyone was already there, except Ezra. Vin didn't take off his sunglasses as the entered the elevator for the ride up to the office. JD glanced at Vin as the elevator started up and thought he looked a little green. When they got to their floor they walked into the bullpen. As soon as Buck saw Vin he started laughing. Vin ignored him and walked to his desk. He sat down folded his arms on the desk and put his head down.

"Damn, what did you boys do last night?" Buck asked.

"Just watched the hockey game," JD said.

"That must have been some game," Nathan said.

"So, Junior, how ya feelin'?" Buck asked as he shook Vin's shoulders.

Vin took a swing at Buck but missed miserably. Chris was leaning on his door frame smiling. Vin looked like shit but JD looked like the cat that ate the canary. Chris wondered who seduced whom.

"Tanner!" Chris yelled. "Get your ass in here!"

Vin groaned as Chris's voice sent shock waves through his head. He reluctantly made his way over to Chris's office. Vin still had on the sunglasses as he walked in. He closed the door behind him.

"Lock it," Chris growled from his position looking out the window. "I don't want anyone disturbing us."

Vin knew he was in trouble with that tone of voice and stood in front of Chris's desk. The blonde took pity on him and began to chuckle.

"Fuck you, Larabee," Vin said as he dropped into a chair and put his head back.

"You boys have fun last night?" Chris asked as he came to stand in front of Vin.

"I think so," Vin smiled.

"Let's see the damage," Chris said as he lifted the sunglasses. "Ouch, how many."

"JD lost count at seven beers," Vin sighed. "Chris there's something else."

"Oh," Chris said leaning on his desk and crossing his arms.

"After I tell ya what happened you can be mad at me if ya want, but not JD," Vin said. "Weren't his fault."

"What did you do?" Chris asked innocently.

"Well ya see it's like this," Vin said. "I've been dreaming lately about JD. And well we sorta slept together last night."

"You mean you both passed out on the couch," Chris said not wanting to make this easy.

"Aw hell," Vin sighed. "We sorta, um, well we...."

"Come on Vin you can say it," Chris teased.

"You bastard!" Vin growled looking at him. "You knew this would happen."

"You've been dreaming about him for over a week," Chris smiled. "And you also talk in your sleep."

"Shit," Vin cursed as he ran his finger through his hair. "I'm sorry Chris."

"What's there to be sorry about," Chris smiled and moved closer. "You're young Vin and this is all new. I don't have any hold on you if you want to experiment."

"But I don't," Vin said looking into his eyes. "I learned that it's you I want."

Chris let out the breath he'd been holding. He hadn't realized how much he wanted Vin to be with him. He leaned down and kissed the younger man on the lips. Their tongues explored for a few minutes and Chris pulled back.

"I'm glad Vin," Chris said. "I want you too. Now get back to work!"

Vin smiled and headed for the door. His head was still killing him but his heart was just fine.

The End
