Had Lestat groaned this way in his dressing room, that night where they'd come all apart? Maybe. Louis doesn't remember. Has only a fleeting thought of it, there and gone, as Lestat gives him a thigh and Louis arches up against it. His back meets leather. Lestat is hard against his hip.

They shouldn't be doing this.

They are doing this.

They are doing this?

A hiss, injuries aggravated by sudden movement, but Louis is already grabbing at Lestat. Ruined vest tossed down to the floor of the limo and forgotten as Louis bites him again, sucks at his tongue.

No thank you offered, only the increasingly furious grasp of hands and draw of limbs, trapping Lestat in close as they kiss, snap, scrape, struggle,falling into each other.

I suppose he thought if he
exposed all his power to me, I would never feel his equal and
the relationship would suffer.


A theory. Louis felt it held weight. Has thought of it often in the passing years, more some decades than others and then less since the turning of the millennium. Lestat's restraint. Why he exerted it. What he hoped would come of it.

Here, now, Lestat pushes and Louis struggles, fights Lestat's grasp and the pinning pressure he exerts. Not above tricks, arching his hip up into Lestat's to distract as he twists in his grasp. The second time tonight, being grappled by the arms. Pain in this too, but it is not a deterrent, only a new dimension of sensation as Lestat pins his arms over his head.

They played like this in New Orleans, with what must have been barely a fraction of Lestat's strength. Old games, new context. Louis twists bodily beneath him, tasting blood. Biting again, Lestat's chin and jaw, one leg bracing on the floor in search of some leverage as Louis snipes up, "You think this is all it takes?"

In a fight? No. But when it is them, when it's Lestat—

Well.

If it's matched strength, Louis cannot win.

In other scuffles, Louis takes care to make sure it never comes down to simply matched strength. He creates favorable conditions. He burns those who would pin him down.

He doesn't wish to burn Lestat. And his favorable conditions here are only the distraction he creates with the upward drive of his hips and the snap of his teeth.

Panting, stubborn, aching, Louis shakes his head. Bares his teeth back up to Lestat, bloody mouth and gold-glinting fangs, no indication that pinned hands has persuaded him as he rocks upwards.

All these things in combination: the bruising grip of Lestat's hands, the application of weight and friction, Lestat himself.

It is undoing. It would be undoing if Louis were even an iota less stubborn than he is, and even then—

He still moans through the sensation, gritting teeth, squirming for purchase as his heel scrapes along the plush carpet on the floor of the limousine. Useless leverage. It gives him nothing but better purchase through which to receive Lestat's ministrations.

"This ain't gonna do it."

Denial still. A game of keep away, another old favorite.

Louis still twisting against Lestat's grasp. Less a bid for freedom than it is a reassurance of how well he is caught. Familiar. They are so changed but see how much of them remains, see what is still here even after almost a century apart.

A passing attempt to buck Lestat off, thwarted by the lack of torque in these turns. A limousine isn't built for speed, doesn't provide the momentum Louis needs to unseat Lestat.

"Fuck you," is unimaginative, panted out while Louis tries to regroup.

Lestat is an impossible distraction. Louis' mouth is full of his blood and his senses are so occupied by his closeness. Lestat over him and focused on him and flushed with pleasure and infuriating.

They aren't supposed to be doing this.

Louis arches up to snap his teeth at him anyway, seeking to draw blood once more.

Is he angry? Truly?

Louis has been provoked. There is some hot, furious feeling in him that Lestat feeds, and the flickering recollection of Lestat's dressing room, their argument, the fracture of it, is drowned out under the application of teeth and tongue, the insistence of each kiss. If there was a hope of restraint, the intention of collecting himself Louis had grasped at when they'd left the club, it is dwindling down to nothing.

And there is what is always true: Louis wants him. Has been wanting him. Has wanted Lestat for near a century and more.

Lestat, who makes these familiar sounds and Louis feels the vibration of them in his chest. It's a wholly separate ache from the determined fight Louis puts up as Lestat pins him more securely, wrangles Louis through the wild twists and bucking attempts at evasion.

Bites down hard on Lestat's lower lip, comes away red-mouthed and panting and still straining within Lestat's grasp. No sign of yielding, considering the likelihood of escape.

If he wants to escape, truly, beyond stubborn inclination towards a struggle.

They are supposed to be doing something else. Friendship.

Instead, Lestat's hips roll down and Louis bites his own tongue, stifles whatever sound might come at the application of pressure in a rush of blood. He is helplessly hard, nothing to be done for it. It is as it always was: they want each other. Louis wants Lestat.

His arms burn, half-healed wounds and overstrained muscle aggravated once more. Louis struggles still, even as Lestat firms up his grip. Even as Lestat lays him out.

Maybe he is proving a point. Maybe this is all play. Maybe both.

Louis shakes his head. Can't open his mouth for fear the sounds that fall from his lips would betray him. Ragged breaths, still twitching towards any possibility of reversing their positions and coming up empty handed.

Old games. They stopped playing them even before Louis cut Lestat's throat.

Release.

A beat before it properly registers, and then Louis is grabbing for him, at him. Comes up panting, breath ragged, to grip Lestat by the face. No moderation, claws pricking skin and drawing little beads of blood up around his fingertips.

Almost, almost, spits some obscenity. But there is a greater temptation.

Louis kisses him so hard the force of it splits his own lip.

"Fuck you," Louis repeats, a wrecked moan between one kiss and the next.

There is so much else to say. More nuanced, weighted down with all the complexity of their relationship. They'd been managing steady ground for weeks, and now everything is in pieces, melting like Louis is melting under Lestat.

"Fuck you, fuck you," like a chant, smeared against bloody lips. Louis' voice is thick, accent plain, fingers sliding into Lestat's hair. Restless movements, muddled between desire to fight free and desire to get closer.

Everything is blood, and heat, and tangled emotion.

Louis feels like he is fraying apart. Anger bleeding into desire, desperation. Wanting.

"Lestat, just—"

Frustrated, with both of them. Lestat is moving, and Louis can feel him, and he can't get his hand free, bucks up against him because he can do nothing else. No thank you, no inclination to give what has been requested, but there is some loosening quality in his body, something that begs, welcomes, invites even as Louis turns his head to bite down on the lobe of Lestat's ear.

His hand tightens on Lestat's hair. Intent to keep him close, keep him where Louis can kiss him. If they are kissing they aren't talking, aren't provoking each other any way but how Lestat fucks down against him and Louis bucks hard up into him.

All their good intentions, left somewhere in the rear view. Lost in that moment on the balcony when Lestat touched him, when Louis touched him back.

Louis has some awareness of it. Can't hold onto it firmly enough. Louis had barely asked and Lestat gives him this, touches him. Is bitten again for his efforts, Louis' teeth at his jaw, moan muffled against his skin.

And he can't stop moving, restless twitches and shifts into all the places they touch, testing Lestat's hold and finding it unyielding.

"Like that," panted out, Louis' head falling back to the leather seat. Outside the window streetlights fly by. Louis isn't sure of where they're going, can't bring himself to care. Lestat touches him and his whole body jolts, alight.

They aren't supposed to be doing this.

The thought slips away as Louis crushes Lestat back into a kiss.

It doesn't go unnoticed, the tone in Lestat's voice. It cuts. Needles. Louis feels himself flushing, hot burning hotter. Shame. Stung over the mockery, hurt that feeds annoyance, frustration. Stokes the feverish, stubborn movement of his body, the snap of teeth up after Lestat's withdrawing mouth. Audible sound of teeth, gold flashing up at Lestat from bared fangs.

Can't catch his breath. A flash of consideration: Lestat has fucked mortal after mortal after mortal, and there has been no one for Louis but Lestat. If they aren't kissing it is harder to bite back the sounds Lestat is dragging out of him as he grips them both, moves into the tight circle of his hand.

Louis' fingers twist in his hair. Pulling. Everything is heat and blood and pain and pleasure and Louis feels like they are burning. Burning together.

"Don't fuckin' do that."

But it is all they do. Old games. Winding each other up. Lestat had taken to it the very first moment they'd met, needling and pushing.

Words said in the heat of the moment, yes. But words that will linger. Louis will hold onto them. Don't tell me what to do. weighed against Ask it of me, if it is keeping you from me. That's all. Uncharitable. But its in his nature, to doubt. To hold something painful close to the chest and let it fester, burn to fever.

Then they lance it. Then they find their way.

Or they did. These days, they haven't quite managed—

"Kiss me," he pushes, orders, demands.

They'd spent lifetimes kissing each other. Nights where Louis would have been content to do nothing else but kiss him.

He wants more. He is still struggling. Contradictions, stubborn kicking against Lestat's hold even as he arches up into his grip.
