E -- [And his voice trembles as Wash full-body shudders, eyes rolling upward for a second. It's not a long touch or a hard one or anything, but -- but it's been a month, and he loves Tucker's stupid cute goddamn tail.] Exactly like that. Yeah.
[But he has to stay focused. He wants to be the one to tease Tucker here, and he's not doing enough of it. Wash catches at Tucker's tongue, sucks at it lightly, drags his teeth along it, before he lets him go again. Makes eye contact with Tucker, keeps it steady.]
[He's about to - he's about to just wrap his tail around and start working him, but something in Wash's voice hits him. The eye contact nails him down and Tucker loses his breath. Wash half-dead under him, Wash watching him as the life drains out of him.
Tucker stills, carefully pulling his tail loose from him, uses a shaky hand to carefully push Wash back.]
I-- [Why this one. Why does he care so fucking much about this damn human, only the second one he's ever made repeat trips to. But his eyes are clear as day as he starts shimmying to get out from underneath him, moving instead to sit up by the headboard and pull his knees up.] I'm pretty beat.
[Not a lie at all, he feels like he's falling apart at the seams.] Sorry, Wash. Maybe after a nap or something?
[Wash peels away from Tucker, brow knit. He's not dumb. He can recognize an excuse. The solution to Tucker being tired is exactly what they'd been doing.
But Wash isn't going to push. If Tucker doesn't want to, that's that. He tries to keep the disappointment off of his face, failing spectacularly. Wash has to throw his walls back up after that. Sex makes him so damn vulnerable. Tucker makes him vulnerable.]
[Fuck and he hates that look on Wash's face, like Tucker actually hurt him not following through. It makes his whole chest ache and that's new, that's entirely new and he doesn't like it.
He flutters his wings once, as if testing out if he's strong enough to go anywhere else, before turning his head to look at the wall. Then back to Wash, tired and small and just as vulnerable.]
If it's cool? Uh- I can crash on the couch if you want me to do that.
What? Jesus, Tucker, you're not in the doghouse because you're too tired for sex.
[That's worrying, but Wash also figures for someone who's never had a committed relationship before Tucker was always going to have some issues to work out.]
We can still sleep together. Er. I mean, not sleep together, but -- sleep -- next to each other together.
[He looks almost relieved at that, shoulders slumping before he looks back to Wash, all apologetic in his eyes and shrinks his wings down even more so they'll be out of the way.]
Thanks. I-- I'd like that, yeah.
[Long enough, he ducks his head down, ears drooping a bit, before starting to tuck himself under the top blanket. Fuck he hates this.]
[Well, good. He's not going anywhere, at least. Wash enjoys his company just as much as the sex, but it always seems prudent to give Tucker the energy boost before anything else. Wash slides under the covers with him, hesitating before -- carefully -- putting an arm around his waist.]
... you want to, uh, talk about anything?
[A rare offer from Wash, mister allergic to feelings.]
[He fucked that up didn't he? One day he'll get the hang of human conversations.]
I will.
...Thanks. [He settles in to where he is, lets his tail reach behind and wrap around Wash's waist. An olive branch for the shit he just did to the poor guy. It doesn't take but a minute or two of soaking up the warmth before he's asleep (at night, what the hell is wrong with him, sleeping at night), settled and comfortable there.]
[Tucker's exhausted. Wash sleeps a little, wakes up too goddamn early like he always does, and Tucker's still there, passed the fuck out. Wash tries to slip out without waking him up, but that's hardly an issue, as out cold as Tucker is.
Wash makes breakfast. Wash feeds his cats. Wash idly reads the news for a while. Nothing of real importance. Mostly he just... waits for Tucker.]

He sure as hell is not going to talk about why he just bailed on the one thing he's good at.]
Mm. Why? Did you want to?
no subject
He just... hoped Tucker would want to tell him what was wrong anyway. Overestimated their relationship again. Wash needs to stop doing that.]
Well, tell me if you need anything, at least? More pillows, or something.

I will.
