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.

"You are so fucking—"

Annoying lives somewhere at the end of the sentence, bitten off rather than snapped out.

Not a disqualifier. It never has been.

Louis cedes his grip on Lestat's hair, digs nails into the nape of his neck as he strains up off the seat. His arm isn't meant to bend this way, pain spiking and ignored as Louis applies pressure. Pulls hard downward as he arches upward, a full body squirm upwards, disrupting the angle of Lestat's hips in some minor way as Louis snaps after his mouth.

Lestat's weight bears him back down against the seat, quelling Louis' kicking struggle. Offers Louis opportunity to kiss him, bite him, lick blood from his mouth, and it is enough to draw Louis back from this latest scuffle.

His arm aches still, bleeds where Lestat's claws dug in. Barely registers. Half his wounds healing, the other half aggravated by Louis' dedication to being difficult. All of it eclipsed as they kiss and Lestat's breath begins to hitch, his heartbeat erratic.

Louis remembers this too. Drives his own hips up, nails scraping across Lestat's shoulders as Lestat comes apart over him, and the slide of his hand grows so slick, and Louis—

Needs more. (Wants more, always, more of Lestat.)

"Come on," he urges, breathless. "That all you got for me?"

Nostalgia, a sudden side-swipe of feeling. Absurd. Nostalgia over the fall of Lestat's hair.

"You gonna make me beg?" has bite to it as well, strain in his voice as Lestat releases them.

A question with a foregone conclusion: Louis is no more inclined to beg than he had been to express the gratitude Lestat had requested.

Still held, secure and caught up beneath Lestat. His own fingers clawing up Lestat's back to his neck, a stall against the certainty of Lestat's withdrawal. Sensing, maybe, a retreat, and seeking to head it off.

Between them, it has been Louis applying teeth. He could argue Lestat instigated; the ring of bruised teeth mark on his cheek would be compelling evidence. Louis had responded in kind. (Had done what he had maybe been thinking about each time he arrived to find Lestat smelling of a strange mortal, or of a bandmate.) Lestat draws back and Louis observes his handiwork and feels a tug of desire in his belly, the ever present part of him that observes Lestat and wants him.

A split second where Lestat releases his arms and Louis makes some impulsive twist towards freedom or reversal or simply holding Lestat fast in turn.

But no. He goes nowhere.

They watch each other. Lestat puts his teeth into Louis' skin and Louis' mouth falls open, breath ragged.

Indulges. Puts his hands back into Lestat's hair. Arching up off the seat, muscles working as he strains up against Lestat's weight.

"Lestat," falls from Louis' mouth, somewhere between complaint and encouragement. Tremors running through his body, the exertion of trying to arch up from under Lestat's hands, thighs flexing hard around Lestat's hips. All of his body alight, aching. "Les."

Old endearments, rolling easy off Louis' tongue in spite of everything, all this time and distance and change and frustration. Still. These minor tells. Affection, still.
