Faraday is still breathing heavily as Vasquez sidles up the bed, and Faraday rests his hands against the other man’s sides, smoothing up the lean muscle as Vasquez finally meets his gaze. Faraday licks his lips, gaze roving over Vasquez’s face – and he looks good like that, with his hair disheveled and eyes dark. Even that smug look Vasquez is wearing is wildly attractive, when in a normal moment, it would make Faraday want to punch that look right off his face.

And even now, Faraday can’t quite help but make the easy jab, and he shrugs a shoulder. “It was alright, I guess.”

Though the delivery is belied by his own breathlessness, by the dark, satisfied thread in his voice. He smirks a little, reaching up to run a hand through Vasquez’s hair. His other hand slides down the plane of Vasquez’s stomach, fingertips ghosting along the other man’s hard length.

“Would be ungentlemanly for me to not return the favor,” he says, though he imbues the words with far more confidence than he actually feels.

The last thing he expects is for Vasquez to stop him, and he freezes for an instant, at a complete loss for how to proceed.

The obvious thing would be to ignore Vasquez, of course; Faraday had already thrown himself into this thing headlong, as he tended to do with most things, and his cavalier attitude had spurred him on this far to a surprising amount of success, but—

Now that Vasquez is giving him the choice, he isn’t entirely sure. A part of Faraday worries that working Vasquez with his hand is going to be nowhere near as satisfying as Vasquez’s mouth had been for Faraday, but he’s not entirely ready to commit to getting to his knees for the other man, just yet. The way the other man mouths at his throat drives him to distraction. The hand still in Vasquez’s hair tightens a little, until he smooths back to cup the back of his head. He licks his lips, tipping his own head back to give Vasquez more space to work.

“What’re you gonna do, then?” Faraday croaks out. Vasquez’s beard is rough against his neck as the other man kisses him, but Faraday is still surprised to find that he likes it. “I’m s’posed to just leave you hangin’?”

The sharp little bite, the way Vasquez eases back, leaves Faraday worried; for a second, there, he truly thought he had done something to force Vasquez to fold, not even an hour into whatever this relationship might be. It would naturally follow, he thinks. Faraday does tend make a mess of things. He props himself up onto an elbow, a protest forming on the tip of his tongue, but—

Faraday glances down, sees Vasquez wrapping a hand around his length. Unconsciously, Faraday licks his lips, almost nervous, and he breathes out a laugh at Vasquez’s request.

Talking. Talking he can most certainly do.

But Faraday’s never been very good at doing exactly as he’s told, and after a moment of consideration, he sits up fully, moving to kneel in front of Vasquez on the mattress. The positioning is a little awkward, their knees knocking together, but Faraday reaches up to cup the back of Vasquez’s neck, leans in to slot his lips over Vasquez’s. The kiss isn’t anywhere near as combative as before, though it’s still heated, still insistent. And whenever he pulls back for breath, he talks, as Vasquez had asked.

“I tend to like it rougher than this,” he says easily, a smirk curling his lips even as he leans in for another kiss. “Whoever I take to bed, I like makin’ ‘em feel good.” This time, Faraday ducks to nip at Vasquez’s neck, mouthing at the shadow of his jaw. He pitches his voice low, murmuring against Vasquez’s skin. “When we do this again, I’ll have you tell me what you like, and I’ll see what I can do.”

Faraday can’t help but laugh a little, the sound dark and wanting. This time around, Vasquez switching to his mother tongue seems more instinctual than anything – an unintentional lapse, rather than actively trying to keep Faraday in the dark. Vasquez sounds good like that, Faraday’s surprised to realize, desperate and breathless, and it makes something stir low in Faraday’s stomach.

“As I recall,” he says, the words brushing against Vasquez’s neck as Faraday nips at the sensitive skin just beneath the hinge of his jaw, “you’re the one who said we needed to work our way up. Can’t exactly do all that in one night, can we?”

Or at least, that’s what Faraday figured they’d be getting out of this. His experienced was geared more toward spending a handful of days, at most, in a woman’s bed before he moved on from the town, but— with Vasquez, at least, he’s willing to try something a little more long term. A large part of him doesn’t want Vasquez to go, spoiled as Faraday has been by the other man’s constant presence at his side, and a nervous part of him is looking forward to... this. Whatever this might be. But if Vasquez is really just looking to blow off some steam for the night, then—

Well. That just means Faraday’s obviously misinterpreted things, but he supposes he’d be willing to accept it, bitterly disappointing as it may be.

His free hand smooths down Vasquez’s front, feeling along the tensed muscles of his stomach, before his palm rests against the blade of Vasquez’s hip. He slots his mouth over Vasquez’s again, lips parting to invite Vasquez’s tongue.

Good Lord, Faraday’s name sounds good like that. He tended to go by his surname by choice – it reminded him too much of being a child with a skinned elbow, sniffling as his ma tended to it – but he supposes If Vasquez says his given name like that, he doesn’t mind it overly much. It sends a dark jolt straight down his spine, and he makes a low, pleased noise, the sound of it trapped between the press of their lips.

Vasquez’s mouth is warm against his, the kiss shameless and rough in a way that leaves Faraday breathless. The hand at Vasquez’s hip smooths up along his side, back down to his hip, while his other hand tangles into Vasquez’s dark, unruly hair, keeping their lips locked together. He can get used to this, Faraday thinks, and he bites at Vasquez’s lower lip. He feels the way the muscles of Vasquez’s waist jump, the way the other man twitches and moves against Faraday’s touch, and there’s something— oddly pleasing, to realize that even this scant contact has this sort of effect on Vasquez.

He pulls back a little, forehead resting against Vasquez’s, sharing his breath. Vasquez’s reactions has left Faraday feeling a little bold, it seems, and he hesitates only a bare second before he wraps his hand around Vasquez’s length.

“Go on, darlin’,” he murmurs, ducking back in to capture Vasquez’s lips. “I’ve got you.”

That’s gratifying, Faraday thinks, grinning against Vasquez’s mouth. They way Vasquez writhes, desperate and wanting; the way he shouts, completely out of control. For a second, he wonders just how long Vasquez has wanted this; months, the man had said, but the way he had moved, frantic, like starved man at a feast, makes Faraday wonder just how long that means.

Vasquez spends, fast and vicious, and it slicks Faraday’s hand, falls hot across Faraday’s belly. When he’s done, it’s charming, the way Vasquez laughs – giggles, almost – and the way he falls boneless back on the bed. Even the way he looks at Faraday like he might actually think Faraday is more than some silver-tongued, half-corned gambler steals Faraday’s breath, makes color rush up his face, when moments ago Faraday might have felt himself bristling with unfamiliarity.

He wants to reach for his scarf to start cleaning up the mess, but Vasquez catches him first, drags him down for a kiss. And with how Vasquez smiles at him, how he stares like he thinks Faraday isn’t quite real – how could Faraday ever deny him? Faraday breathes out a quick laugh, settling atop Vasquez and slotting his mouth over the other man’s again.

And a small part of him is surprised at how easily he’s fallen into this, when just minutes ago he had felt awfully wrong-footed. Faraday is far from self-assured, at the moment, but he’s at least spurred onward by how Vasquez had sounded and looked as he had fallen apart, and how wildly attractive Faraday had found it.

“You alright, there?”

Faraday can't help the way he barks out a laugh along with Vasquez, bracing himself with an elbow on the mattress beside Vasquez's head to keep from smothering the other man. He can feel the way Vasquez's heart drums against the inside of his ribs.

It's a compelling sight, the other man beneath him, smiling and dazed beneath him. And apparently the man is affectionate while he enjoys the afterglow, fingers carding through Faraday's hair in a way that feels intimate and pleasant. When Vasquez speaks again, when he gives Faraday's scarred form a ribald once-over, Faraday snorts out another laugh.

"Well, in my dreams, there isn't so much of a mess," he says archly, though he hardly sounds bothered for it. "You ever gonna let me up?"

Faraday lets out a short huff of feigned irritation, once Vasquez finally gives Faraday some space, wearing that little pout. He rolls his eyes as he pulls back, slipping out of the bed and looking for something appropriate to wipe his hand and his belly.

He sacrifices his wild rag for it, feeling the way Vasquez tracks his movements with an oddly hungry gaze, and Faraday hesitates, trying to decide if he finds it embarrassing or if he ought to indulge the other man by taking his time. He splits the difference, unhurried but not molasses-slow, and returns to sit on the edge of the bed with the rag, holding it out for Vasquez to wipe himself down.

"You seemed to be the one havin' doubts," Faraday replies almost smugly. "Seemed like you were the one who needed convincin' of that fact."

Once Vasquez starts getting himself decent, Faraday all too happily follows suit. He was a good-looking man, once, with only a handful of scars to recommend him; now, though, he feels like he must be a frightful mess. Vasquez might be accustomed to the sight, as is Faraday, but that doesn't necessarily make it a pleasant one.

Faraday pulls on his shirt, tugs on his underwear and pants, and sits on the edge of the bed, his back pressed against Vasquez's knee. He doesn't fare much better than Vasquez, really, his own lips similarly swollen, with a bit of sweat glistening on his brow. Vain man that he is, he tries to straighten his hair a bit, for all the good it'll do him.

He takes the proffered cigarillo – Faraday typically preferred his own cigars, but he had never been one to turn down a good smoke – and he rests it between his lips. He calms a little, pulling in a mouthful of smoke. At Vasquez's words, he breathes out a small, barely there chuckle.

"Trust me, compadre," he replies with a small, crooked smile, "no one's more surprised 'bout all this than me."

Somehow, though, he manages to sound pleased about it. He takes another pensive drag from the cigarillo, letting the smoke drift out from between his lips to the ceiling.

Slowly, he says, "I think I'm good, though. If you're good, that is." He pauses for a second, then adds a little pointedly, "Which means if you try'n' skip out on me, I'm trackin' you down and beatin' the hell out of you. Hear me?"
