I'll Build You a Heart [Ferris/Cal]

[phantasmalunar]

"Mnnh," Ferris hummed agreeing. He thought perhaps he felt the same about the assassin.

[ode]

The rest of the night there was little but a comfortable silence amoungst them as Cal lay partially awake drawing invisible lines all over the younger man's chest.

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris rested peacefully, comforted by the drawing.

[ode]

Sleep slowly overcame Cal and he fell asleep with his face buried in the younger man's neck.

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris woke up the next morning wondering if he should leave the assassin without a word to get back to work. Perhaps he could leave a note or wake him up. What to do.

[ode]

"I know, I know," cal sighed, having been awake but laying atop the man the past hour. "You have to go to work."

[phantasmalunar]

"Yes," Ferris agreed. "Did ' wake you?"

[ode]

"No," Cal sighed and sat up, staring down at the man. "I was already awake... watching you. You're quite beautiful, it pleases me."

[phantasmalunar]

"Em glad ta pleeze ya," Ferris said.

[ode]

"I'm sure you do. Now go get to work," he ordered, wondering if Ferris would come tonight of his own free will.

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris frowned a bit before getting off the bed and putting his clothes back on. Before leaving, he turned to the assassin and leaned down to give him a quick kiss. "It's pleazzure pleasin' ya," he said before leaving.

[ode]

Cal stares after a door for a long minute before a smile spread over his face. The man hadn't had to kiss him, after all.

Pulling his ass away from bed, he took a shower and got dressed before moving over to his digi-computer to scan over the taped vids he had created through his telescope watching his target.

[phantasmalunar]

When Ferris got down to the desk, he saw a line up of customers. He grimaced before going to apologize to them about the tardiness. He hadn't realized it was so late.

[ode]

He scanned over the recordings and frowned as he saw the same symbol upon the man's tattooed ankle as there was on the door to the club that was blown up. He wondered vaguely just what he had gotten himself into.

[phantasmalunar]

Once the customers were taken care of, Ferris went to his garden to overlook the progress.
