This is Rick's fault, I promised him a belated birthday fic, he had to pick the guy and he told me he was kinda into JD, the button nose. The story started in my head and I got the rough ideas down on computer and then the most impressive lightning storm in years came along last night and I wrote everything down long hand while I watched the show!

I slowly wake to the smell of breakfast, the feel of a hand in my hair and light kisses on my nose. "You know," I groggily say, "you're gonna give me a complex. This thing you have for my nose is unnatural!"

"Nah! It's a good nose, it's a cute nose, not huge, not tiny. It's a button nose!"

Fully awake now, I make a grab for my lover; what a weird feeling to be saying that about this person. Buck told me once that lovers who are friends are the best kind. God I hope that's true. Anyhow, I grabbed and missed.

"Breakfast first, you ain't gonna have no energy ta play if'n I don't feed ya first. We're both growin' boys and need lots of energy. Slide over." I do.

We share the breakfast he'd made, I didn't even know he knew how to cook, but it shouldn't surprise me, he'd been on his own a long time. "So what should we do after breakfast?"

"I'll give you three guesses."

"Let's see, go play some basketball?"

"Strike on!"

"Go to the range and shoot?"

"Strike two! One left and you're out!"

He starts laughing. God I love the sound of his laugh, his voice. His voice is like, someone once said his voice was like gravel, but it isn't. His voice is like warm sand, it runs through your ears just like sand runs through your fingers. It's warm and soothing, soft and gentle, yet at the same time it's rough and sharp. It feels so good that you just can't help but want to hold more and let it trickle through your hands, his voice is like that to me. He rarely talks so when he does, I just try to soak it up like a sponge. Anyhow, he's laughing and then he leans in, blows lightly in my ear (a definite hotspot), lightly tugs on my earlobe with his teeth before whispering, oh so softly in my ear, "How 'bout we stay here, spend the whole day in bed making love?" He gently kisses down my face to my jaw and then down to my neck.

I tip my head back and give him complete access. "It's outta the ballpark. It's a Grand Slam Homerun for Vin Tanner!"

"So if it's a homerun fer me JD, what's it fer ya'll?"

"Lucky! *Damn* lucky!" He starts laughing again and the feel of it next to my skin is... well there ain't no word for how good it feels. He stops at my nipple and starts licking and tasting, sometimes I swear he's half-cat. Josiah teases Ezra every now and then about being raised by wolves, well if so, Vin was raised by cougars.

Anyhow he's licking and suckling and even nibbling at me nipple, when he decides the other one is feeling neglected he switches to give *it* a little TLC. All I can do is wrap my hands in his hair and go along for the ride. He pulls himself back up to my lips, draping himself over my body like the cat he reminds me of. He lightly kisses my lips before I feel his tongue asking to come in and play. I open up and invite it in. He tastes... like the outdoors, like that cougar, wild and free. He tastes like nothing and no one I've ever tasted before or ever will again. His mouth is so warm and inviting, I could spend hours just kissing him like this. He props himself up on his elbows and lifts his head, smiling before he moves up just a touch to my nose.

Him and that nose of mine, that's how this whole thing started.

Two Days Earlier

It had been a tough week. A bust had gone down badly, Ezra and Josiah had been injured, though not seriously. They were both out on medical leave. Nathan had taken some personal time to go with Raine to a conference of hers in Kansas City. He planned to look up old friends and kick back for a few days. Chris had been informed by Judge Travis that he had to go to a 'management' seminar. Buck had teased him relentlessly, he really should have known better. After a few days Chris informed him that as the second in command, (at least by the federal government standards) he had to go with him. Oh Buck tried bitching about how Vin was really the 2IC, but Chris told him that as the second highest ranking member of the team, the ARF considered *him* the 2IC. Buck had this hot weekend planned with Bambi, or Bridget, or was it Barbie? Anyhow his plans got flushed down the crapper, which is why you only harass Chris so much. All of this left Vin and I holding down the fort.

"So, JD, you plannin' on goin' with Casey and that bunch from college to Colorado Springs this weekend? Nettie tole me how excited Casey was 'bout it."

I swallowed the bite of doughnut in my mouth before answering, "Why would I be going with them?"

"Jus' figured since Casey was goin' you'd be goin' too."

"Uh, Vin, Casey and I aren't seeing each other anymore. We broke up almost three months ago."

"Why the hell didn't someone tell me? What happened?"

"She told me she needed to 'spread her wings'. We just realized that we didn't have anything in common anymore. I guess we kinda drifted apart. We're still friends and I hope she finds someone special, but I wasn't the right person for her. I think what happened was I grew up and she didn't want to do that yet. I don't blame her, she's young still and shouldn't have to grow up yet!"

"She's only four years younger that you."

"Well in this case, four years was a lifetime."

Vin stared for a couple of minutes and then went back to his report. I had finished my report on the bust *and* typed up Ezra's and Josiah's, and now I had nothing to do. I looked at Vin pecking away on his computer and headed into the breakroom. I cleaned the breakroom, I cleaned the fridge, I even started scrubbing the coffeepot out! Frankly, I was bored.

"JD!" came the yell from Vin's desk. "Help! This damn computer are my report." I was used to hearing this, between Buck, Chris and Vin I was forever rescuing 'eaten' reports. "I know I shoulda saved it, but I didn't. I went ta print it and now it's gone. Please tell me ya can get it back." I started snickering. "This ain't funny JD!"

"I'm sorry. It's just that I got so tired of digging for reports that last week I reset the computers to autosave every thirty seconds." I showed him where the computer had been saving it, explaining how it was saved under the casefile number.

Vin heaved a huge sigh of relief. "I didn't want ta have ta redo that whole damn thing." He finished the printing while I wandered back out and finished the coffeepot. When I came back in he was just saying 'thank you' to someone on the phone.

"Yer report done and signed?" I nodded. "You typed up Ezra's and Josiah's didn't you ya?" Another nod. "Throw 'em in an envelope, we'll swing by and have 'em sign 'em. Then as the acting boss I have permission from the Judge ta call it quits fer the day. He says ta take tomorrow off too, be back here Monday. Whatcha got planned this weekend?" I shrugged. "I got two tickets ta the Rockies game tomorrow night. Wanna go with me?"

"Sounds good. You want to pick me up or what?"

"Why don't I pick ya up early and we'll get some dinner. It's bad enough I gotta pay five bucks fer a beer, I don't wanta pay another five fer a hotdog. After we get these reports signed we could swing over ta the Saloon and have a beer and some a Inez's Mexican food. Sound good?"

"Sounds good. What about my bike?"

"I'll bring ya back later tonight ta pick it up."

I grabbed the reports and dropped them into a manila envelope and followed Vin out the door and down to his jeep. We stopped by Ezra's first, he said he was doing fine and could have come in to sign the reports. The doctor said he'd be back on light duty Monday. From there we went to Josiah's to hear basically the same thing. They'd been lucky. *We'd* been lucky, it could have been a lot worse.

We made it to the Saloon ahead of the happy hour/dinner rush. Ordered our food and started with beer, nachos and salsa. We started talking, at first about nothing in particular. How the Rockies were doing, how great the Avalanche taking the cup had been. Dinner arrived and between the food and the beer, the conversation got more personal. How much we both missed our moms, how sometimes we wished we knew who our fathers were, how we'd grown up.

We finished eating and started talking about relationships, what it took to make them work. And then came that *ONE* statement, the one that started it all.

"You know, you have a cute nose JD." I just rolled my eyes at that statement. "Really, it's a cute nose! It's a cute, button nose. You're a cute guy, JD."

"That's the story of my life! That's what everyone tells me. When you're in a serious relationship the last thing you want to hear is 'You're cute!', but that's what I always get. When you're making love with someone the last thing you want is them to look up, or down as the case may be, and tell you that you're cute!"

Vin chuckled, "Did Casey tell you that while you were making love?"

"Hello yes! Michael used to tell me that too!"

I guess I didn't realize at first what I'd said. I just knew Vin got quiet. I looked at him to see a shocked expression on his face. I started thinking backwards going over what I'd said when he asked, "Who's Michael?"

Oh shit! I hadn't really said that, had I? Judging by the look on Vin's face I had. "Michael... Michael was my first lover."

"You're gay?"

"If I was gay would I have been seeing Casey? I'm... bi-sexual. It ain't the gender of the person that matters to me, just the person." I figured about now my friendship with Vin had just gone up in smoke.

Vin stood up and threw a few bills down on the table. "Why don't I take ya home now." I didn't remind him that my bike was still at work, I just let him take me home. It was a silent ride, neither of us said a thing.

I headed into the house and went into my bedroom feeling like a wounded animal. I'd lost friends before over this, so why did it hurt so bad this time. I tossed and turned for a few hours before taking a pill. They'd been prescribed by the department shrink after a case gone wrong. I'd been having nightmares and he gave me these to help me sleep, figured I needed one now.

When I finally woke up it was late in the morning. There was a message from Vin telling me when he'd be over to get me for the baseball game. Maybe the friendship wasn't toast quite yet. I had a lot of nervous energy to burn off so I decided to clean the place. Ezra's always calling it the CDC, but it really isn't that bad. By the time Vin got there I'd done two loads of laundry, ran all the dishes through the dishwasher, (it took three loads!) and the place was sparkling. I'd cleaned, dusted, polished and vacuumed every surface, I'd even tackled Buck's bedroom (we won't go there!).

I was pulling the last load of dishes out when I heard the doorbell, I yelled at Vin to come in and finished putting the dishes away. vin was just looking around in amazement. "It isn't that I can't clean, I just never seem to get around to it. Let me grab a light coat and we can go." I threw my keys and wallet in my pockets, grabbed a jacket and followed Vin to the jeep.

It was a quiet ride to the restaurant. We got seated and ordered before Vin broke the silence. "I came by early this mornin', was gonna take ya ta pick up yer bike. Forgot it was at work. I rang and knocked but ya didn't answer, figured ya was out."

"Nah, I couldn't sleep last night so I took a sleeping pill."

Vin's head popped up and he glared, "Ya don't take 'em often do ya?" I wondered at the worry in his voice.

"Nah, just when I can't sleep which ain't often."

"Good! I wouldn't want ya ta have a problem with 'em." He paused before going on. "Actually I wanted ta apologize fer the way I acted last night. I don't want ya ta think I got a problem with what you tole me. It jus' surprised me. Of all of us yer the one I'da figured fer totally straight."

"Yeah? So why was the first words out of your mouth 'You're gay?'. I'm not you know."

"I am."

Now it was my turn to look shocked. "But what about Charlotte?"

"Charlotte was me trying to convince both me and the world that I was straight. But I'm not and she proved it to me once and for all. The truth is I've always been interested in you. If I was straight and uninterested would I have told ya that yer cute. No, I'da said something like 'yer a handsome man' or 'yer a good man', you only tell someone they're cute when yer interested."

That made me feel kinda warm and tingly, "So, you're interested?" He nodded. "And you think I'm cute?"

"Yep, yer cute and ya got a cute nose." He reached out with his finger and lightly ran it down my nose, bridge to tip.

"What is this thing with my nose?"

"Ya got a cute nose. It's a button nose. It's cute, it's... perky!"

I sputtered, "Perky?" Just then our food came and we started eating.

We'd finished up dinner and gotten to the ballpark before we said much. We found our seats and Vin asked, "Ya wanna beer?"

I handed him money which he handed back. "If your getting them, I get so damn tired of being carded all the time. The last time I shoved my badge in the guys face and told him 'Look the federal government won't even fucking hire you 'til you're 21'."

Vin laughed, "Yeah, I'll fetch. Wouldn't want ta have ta bail ya out fer hittin' the beer guy. It ain't their fault though, if ya didn't look so damn young and innocent." I grinned at that thought.

He got back and we sat and watched the game and drank our beer. Neither of us said anything about his hand on my knee. We didn't say anything when my hand took hold of his. We just watched the gam, held hands and exchanged glances and smiles. When the game finished I had no clue as to who'd won, all that was on my mind was Vin. Getting Vin alone, preferably horizontal and naked.

We got to his jeep and realized we were stuck and would probably have to wait awhile before we could get out of the parking lot. Vin leaned over and gently kissed me, before either of us realized what was happening we were lip-locked. When we finally separated I was shaking with need. Vin looked at me and the only blue left in his eyes were a thin ring on the outside, they were almost black with passion. He took a deep breath before looking around at the traffic. He reached over to the glovebox, pulled out a lightball, plugged it in and switched it on. "Hang on." was all he said. He laid on the horn and between it and the lightball, people started clearing a path. When we got to the entrance he pulled out his ID, "ATF, we need to get out of here!" The traffic cop cleared a path for him.

We were on the way to his place when I finally said something. "I can't believe you did that!"

"Hey I didn't lie, all I said was we needed ta get out a there. That was the truth. If'n I didn't get outta there I was gonna take ya right there in the parking lot with everyone watchin' "

Neither of us said another word until we were in his apartment. He reached out and pulled me into an embrace and kiss. "JD, if you don't want this, tell me now and I'll take you home."

"Vin, shut up and kiss me." That was pretty much the last complete sentence spoken for awhile. Vin did kiss me, did I mention that he's a champion kisser? If there was a competition for kissing, I'm sure Vin would win.

All the while he was kissing me he somehow moved me into the bedroom and undressed me. I don't remember it happening, suddenly *I* was horizontal and naked, then Vin was naked and draped over me. Did I mention that he's like a cat, he just sprawls and drapes himself over you like a warm living blanket?

Anyhow he was draped and kissing and licking and nibbling everywhere! Whenever he'd hit a place that made me tremble he'd mark it, like he was inventorying all my hot spots. When he blew in my ear and I whimpered I could feel him smile. He worked his way from the top of my head all the way to the bottom of my feet. By that time I was quivering and whimpering like a scared puppy. I would have done or promised him anything he'd just make me come. In fact I think I told him that, several times. He just kept smiling and doing what he was doing.

He crawled back up me and whispered in my ear, "JD? I wanna be inside ya when we come, is that okay?"

I would have agreed to anything, but *this* was something I wanted too. I tried to say 'Hell yes! Fuck me!' What came out was "please?"

He wandered into the bathroom and I tried to find and collect my scattered wits. I felt his hands on my inner thigh, I spread my legs as wide as I could, whimpering as he ran his hands all over my groin. I felt his finger rubbing around my crack, I pulled my knees up and planted my feet, lifting my ass of the bed, giving him easier access. He slipped the finger in and started opening me up, he pulled it out and went back in with two. "Yer so tight, so warm, I'm gonna make ya feel sooo good." Then there were three fingers stretching and scissoring, it felt fuller, but good. He reached out with those damn long fingers, crooked them just a little bit until he hit my prostate. Oh God! It had been so long! I had almost forgotten how good this felt, when he pulled his fingers out I mewled.

He patted me, "Jus' a second, I'm gonna take real good care a ya." I could feel his cock at my entrance. He started to push in, it had been awhile but I still remembered how this worked. I took a deep breath and started bearing down, giving him the help he needed to clear the guardian ring. Then he was in and we both stopped and took a few deep breathes. I worked on relaxing and getting past the first burn, when Vin saw me relax he started to ease himself in the rest of the way until finally we were balls to ass.

We just sat there for a few moments, I tried to push back, but he had a hold of my hips stopping me from moving. "Vin," I begged, "Fuck me!"

"What's yer hurry JD? We got all night."

I tried once again to move but he had me pinned down pretty tight. "Pleaseplease! God, Vin!"

"Nope I ain't God. Seems to me ya got a problem here." He lifted one hand from a hip, I instantly tried to move. He slapped me in the ass and lifted my feet off the bed and wrapped them around his waist, leaving me no leverage to move. I thought I was ready to explode, I knew I couldn't take anymore, he proved me wrong. Now that his hands were free he started to torture me, rolling my balls with one hand and stroking my cock, barely touching it, with the other. I could feel the tension winding tighter and tighter inside me.

"Goddamnit Vin! Fuck me, *NOW!*" I felt so needy, there wasn't a thing I could do besides lie here and take it. He finally started moving, barely. Rocking his hips and moving his cock in and out an inch, if that, all the while playing with my balls and cock. I could feel my whole body shaking and realized that I had tears in my ears. "please, more," I pleaded.

It was like something suddenly snapped, Vin snarled and pulled my legs from around his waist and shoved them up to my chest. I grabbed them with hands that were shaking so hard I could barely hold on. He started pumping and then he angled his entrance until he hit my prostate. I saw stars and after one or two square hits I felt the tension snap and I came as Vin was hammering my ass.

While I didn't actually pass out, things got real fuzzy and gray for a bit. I could feel Vin coming, feel him feel him filling my ass and groaning as he collapsed on top of my, feel him cleaning us up. I decided that if I just closed my eyes for a minute everything would stop feeling like a hazy dream. I had this weird though, little sperm running around inside my ass, wondering what was wrong, why didn't it look anything like the pictures and where the hell were the eggs?!

I must have started chuckling because I could feel Vin's arms around me, "JD? Are you okay?" He leaned down and laid his cheek on my forehead. I could smell him and things started to clear up.

"Other than the top of my head and all my brains are missing, I'm fine. No, I'm great!"

"Glad ya enjoyed it, I did my best." He snuggled up next to me and yawned. "So, is this gonna be a fuck-buddy thing or are we dating?"

I started laughing, "I think we just blew right past the dating thing into a having-a-relationship thing. Two questions, how do we tell the guys and how do you think they'll react and where do we go from here?"

"Three."

"Huh?"

"That's three question. First, we'll tell them the next group get-together. We'll do it together as a couple, if that's what you want?"

"It is. A steady committed relationship."

"Second, I think they'll take it okay. I told Chris that I was gay and he was cool with it. I think Ezra and Josiah will be fin, I jus' ain't sure 'bout Nathan or Buck."

"Buck knows I'm bi and he's cool with it. Nathan will be fine I think, we had a talk once about discrimination and he thinks it wrong to judge someone cuz of who they sleep with."

"Third, from here we go to sleep. Say goodnight JD."

"Goodnight JD."

"Smartass."

"Nope, your ass now."

Present

"JD, you in there?"

He's playing with my nose again, he obviously has a nose fetish. "I was thinkin'."

"'Bout what?"

"'Bout what would happen if I did this?" I reached over and tickled him on his side, he immediately squirmed away.

"Ain't nothin' gonna happen."

"You sure about that?" I attacked and started tickling, he was squirming and giggling like a little kid. We rolled around on the bed and then I was laying on top of him and we both were breathing hard.

"JD? Make love to me." Our hands were already clasped from when he'd tried to stop me from tickling him. I stretched them out over our heads until I could feel the wood railings in the headboard. I took his hands and placed them there and he took hold of the railings. It was my turn to explore and I did. I learned that he was sensitive in the back of his knees. That if you licked his adam's apple and those indentations where his shoulders met his neck he'd quiver like jello. That anywhere on his ears would make him whimper. He liked it when you licked his whole cock like a popsicle, but if you were going to suck he preferred just the crown. I learned that he purred, just like the cougar I'd compared him to and he made these little noises at the back of his throat that made me crazy.

I found the lube and condoms on the dresser along with a warm, damp washcloth and hand towel. He'd made plans as he was making breakfast, I liked that in a man. I lubed up my fingers and started opening him up, taking just enough time to be careful, neither of us could wait much longer than that. I rolled on the condom and looked at him sprawled on the bed in front of me. An image appeared in my mind, I crawled back in bed next to him and rolled on my back. "Vin, straddle me. I want to watch while you fuck yourself on my cock." I could see his eyes widen as he moved to do what I'd asked. Both of us reached behind him at the same time. He grabbed his cheeks and spread them as I held my cock while he lowered himself on it. Both of us groaned when I was completely in. He leaned forward and kissed me before he leaned back, I'd bent my knees so he would have some support to lean on. He looked in my eyes and started raising and lowering himself, angling his body so my cock would hit his prostate. As he started getting closer he leaned back.

The image of him, head thrown back, eyes closed, whimpering, as he fucked himself will always be one of my most cherished memories. I could feel him reach behind himself and grab my thighs for support, his hair was sliding over my knees and thighs and it felt like cool silk on my hot skin. I could feel myself getting closer, I reached out and firmly stroked his cock. Once, twice and I could feel him coming, his ass clenching around my cock was all it took to make me come. I heard him shout my name as we both came. I filled his ass, making him mine, just as he'd made me his the night before. He slumped back until all that was holding him up was me and my knees. I pulled him forward and lifted him up, pulling my cock out and rolled him to the side. With somewhat wobbly legs, I retrieved the washcloth and towel and washed us both up.

I pulled the sheet over us and cuddled him in my arms. We laid there, curled up together until he finally said, "Now I know why them old guys want younger lovers."

"Really, I was just thinking that now *I* know why younger guys want older lovers."

"JD, you stayin' fer awhile?" I could hear the fear and insecurity in his voice.

"'Til hell freezes over, or forever. Whichever comes first. Now go back to sleep. Say goodnight Vin."

"Goodnight Vin."

"Smartass."

"JD? If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?"

"Hell yes! Against you, in you, around you. Anyway I can get you."

"JD? I think I love you."

"David Cassidy you ain't, now go to sleep."

"You get to make lunch, or dinner, whichever we get around ta eatin'."

"How's pizza sound?"

"Almost as good tastin' as you."

"'Spose Chris has killed Buck yet?"

"Nah! Too much paperwork! You stayin' the weekend?"

"As long as you want me, that's how long I'm stayin'."

"Guess we'd best start lookin' fer a new place then."

"Why?"

"Guess I ain't plannin' ta let ya go, ever. If'n I tried ta move ya in here Bucklin'd kill me, paperwork be damned. So guess we'd best find someplace a little safer. Me, I'll take chances with, not with you though."

"'Kay. We'll check the News and the Post tomorrow."

"JD?"

"Yep?"

"I know I love you."

"Did you ever see 'Ghost'?"

"Yeah?"

"Ditto! Go to sleep, you need your rest so you have enough energy for the rest of the weekend."

"'Kay!"
