Casey nibbled at his lower lip, really contemplating the whole thing. If the movie was a really good horror one then he could cuddle even more against Luke. Sure, sometimes it was embarrassing how freaked out he could get over a scary movie when he was so calm and collected during hunts but he would allow his new boyfriend to see that side of him. His new boyfriend. That really struck a happy cord within him. It wasn’t super serious at the moment but it was serious enough that they were going to be traveling together and cuddling- shirtless!
He smiled at Luke as he was pulled out of his thoughts. The hand squeeze just served to increase the amount of butterflies already flying around in his stomach. “Let’s get that Insidious movie. Everyone’s been talking about it. It’s supposed to be really scary.” Ulterior motives of cuddling aside, it would be refreshing to see something different. “Well, I…um…lead the way then.”

Luke smiled and tightened his grip on Casey's hand, tugging lightly to get the other boy to follow him out of the diner. There was a video store a few blocks down, he had asked the hostess who had given them the desert at the front. The night air had a bit of a chill but it was nothing unbearable and Luke found himself highly enjoying the little impromptu walk they were currently taking to the video store.
"I have heard this movie is very well done, I hope that we like it"
He wasn't really trying to fill the silence, their silences were comfortable enough but he still liked to voice his opinions occasionally and if he were being completely honest with himself he rather enjoyed the sound of Casey's voice. Luke found himself enjoying simply just listening to him speak. Luke had been around American accents for long enough now that he didn't think too much on them, but for some reason Casey's was different and he really enjoyed it.
They made a quick run into the video store to grab the movie and once again Casey was leading the way, keeping his hands to himself mostly except for where their fingers were laced together. Luke was very content just to simply feel the closeness right now and the warmth of someones hand in his.

After talking about it they had decided to go over to Casey’s hotel for the night after picking up all of Luke’s bags. Although Casey was excited for this he was also wildly nervous. His room was also perfectly clean, with just a few things out of place to fit more of his style. He hated having just a plain old hotel room and preferred that a bit of his style showed through. He wasn’t into fashion or anything but he liked big bold colors and switched some of the dreary paintings on the wall with his favorite landscape scenes of the ocean and of the mountain ranges of Colorado.
He made sure Luke was comfortable before managing to excuse himself to the bathroom without too much of a fuss. He had almost blushed and stuttered again but thankfully kept control of himself as he freshened up. Casey winced a bit as the hot shower water pulsated on his wound but it just stung a bit and after ten minutes of quick cleaning he was almost ready. He dried his hair to where it was only just slightly damp and made sure his face looked alright. Taking a deep breath he put his pajama pants on and left his top off. Oh god…was he really going out there and doing this?
Casey kept his usual happy smirk in place as he came out, trying to remain confident and calm, “Um…the shower’s free if you want to use it too.” Yeah. Real smooth there Bauer. Real smooth.

Luke could practically feel Casey's nerves radiating off of him and the younger boy kept his distance, he had no doubts that Casey liked him, but he still was not going to push any harder than this. It was up to Casey to make the first moves because Luke knew how much he was comfortable with, he did not know what Casey was comfortable with. Luke allowed himself a moment to relax and stretch and work the kinks out of his muscle as the other boy showered. He thought one for himself might also be a good idea. There was some dirt and grime left on him for the battle with the wendigo and he felt the need to cleanse himself of all of that.
Luke let himself admire Casey's torso for just a moment when he stepped out of the shower and he found himself trying to hold back a smirk as he walked past him to head into their bathroom. Though it was accidental, their shoulders brushed as he walked by and he almost shivered at the touch.
"I'll be out in ten"
He called back behind him as he closed the door. A shower was a welcome pleasure and Luke turned the water on as hot as he could stand before stepping in and letting it wash over him. The small pounding in his head that had came off and on throughout the day seemed to have disappeared and he enjoyed how clean he felt after climbing out. He also decided to leave the shirt off and he blow dried his hair knowing it would be a mess in the morning if he did not.
"So what movie are we watching?"
He asked stepping out and plopping down on the one of the beds.

Casey felt his body flush at the short brush of their shoulders and hugged himself briefly once he was sure Luke had closed the door completely. He took a deep breath, slowly calming his nerves down and after his shoulders sagged a bit in relaxation he completely let go of his tight told on his arms. Casey picked out the Insidious movie, putting it in as he waited and then laid back on the bed closer to the door.
He waited impatiently for Luke to be done, trying to amuse himself and distract his body from the anxious fits it was having realizing that he was in a room with another boy and they would both be shirtless. Thankfully the beds were queens so that even if they did cuddle, there wouldn’t be any awkward moments of one of them falling off like what would happen if it was a twin bed.
A creak from the door and instantly Casey’s head snapped up so he could watch Luke walk out. Oh, that chest was ripped. He forced himself to glance away from his new boyfriend’s hot body and up to his handsome face. No, that didn’t help either. His gut still stirred with heat but he would ignore it so they could have a nice time cuddling, “Insidious.” Casey smiled shyly. He had the remote by his side and he scooted over to the side to allow Luke room if he chose to join him in the same bed. The young hunter lightly patted the space next to him, nonverbally extending an invitation.

Luke made his way over to the bed after flicking the lights off and climbed in. He pulled the comforter up over himself, the room was a bit chilly but the cool air felt good after such a long day, still he pulled the comforter up over his legs and propped his back up against a pillow. For now he kept a respectable distance between them. Casey was tapping his fingers nervously against his leg, Luke was almost positive he wasn't even aware that he was doing it. He was content to sit like this, just the two of them quietly watching a movie. Luke was someone who very much liked affection and touch, but he liked having the presence of another person so much that he felt a blanket of contentment settle over him.
"Thanks for being here"
He said softly. He could feel his crippling shyness creeping up on him again and he felt the blush stain his cheeks. He quickly dropped his head with a small smile playing on his lips. Despite the fact that he felt shy towards the other boy, it did not change the fact that he was happy about their entire situation. As cheesy as it sounded, he felt as if fate had somehow brought them together, he believed in the supernatural and he believed in fate as well. He was not naive enough to believe in love at first night, but he believed in the ability to form a strong connection with someone. Even if it had happened in such a short period of time.

Luke was in the bed. Half-naked. It was a good thing he wasn’t in it with the other hunter or else he’d be sweating from the heat. So much heat. Casey felt a bit dizzy but after about a half hour of watching the show, just chilling at the edge of the bed his nerves curbed out. Nothing too terrible had happened yet so Casey’s pride was safe for now. He bit his lower lip, leaning further back on the bed (still above the sheets) and replied gently to Luke’s comment. “Of course.” What he wanted to say had everything to do with Casey admitting he wanted to be the one to say thank you. Company was a hard thing to come by.
Soon, however, the movie got a bit intense and Casey found himself having subconsciously crawled up the bed inch by inch so that he was brushing shoulders with Luke. He wanted to look over to whisper something to Luke, even just small chit-chat, but the screen changed and showed the monster and Casey cried out, clutching at the sheets and burying his head in them. The young hunter refused to move after that, despite the fact that the position was more than uncomfortable.

Casey was still nervous and Luke was both torn between finding it amusing and trying to think of any possible way to ease some of the tension. Luke leaned back more comfortably against the headboard of the bed and tried to focus on the movie. It was difficult he found himself glancing over at Casey occasionally, both in an attempt to decipher how he was feeling and to make sure that he was not so uncomfortable that he was going to bolt at random. Luke was about to say something to Casey, something to relax him and let him know that he was not going to try and take advantage of him or anything but Casey let out a cry and pulled the sheets up before he really got a chance. For a moment Luke simply just stared, and amused smile working it's way onto his face. He immediately wiped that off though, knowing it would probably not be as amusing to the other boy. Luke would never have guessed him to the be the type to scare during movies. Luke reached out and rested his hand against his back.
"You alright there? I can tell you when this part of the movie is over"
Luke kept his hand there and his gaze away from the screen for another few moments, once again not making to want the other boy uncomfortable he slid his hand up so it was rested between his shoulder as opposed to the where it was sitting on the small of his back. Luke just grinned and tried to focus his attention to the screen again.

Casey let out an irritated grumble, “Shut up!” He mumbled into the sheets, sounding much more embarrassed than angry. After a few minutes of trying to calm himself from both his humiliation and the shock from the scene in the movie Casey lifted his head to take a peek at Luke. The jerk was grinning and not even looking at him. He pouted for a bit before vehemently denying his fear. “I wasn’t afraid!” Well, he didn’t have any legit useful excuses up his sleeve so he left it at that. Very weak in terms of being convincing but the hunter was too angry to really care.
He sat there, mulling over his agitation and the slight wave of emotions but then began to relax, leaning into the touch Luke was supplying. It was comforting but somehow not enough. His cheeks turned red again as he pondered about how to go about this without making the situation awkward or unbearable. Casey wasn’t experienced at this whole being with a man thing and knew that they had different wants and needs than girls considering he was a man himself. Finally Casey shuffled discreetly into the sheets, close enough to Luke that they were only separated by centimeters of space.

Luke honestly did try to keep the smile off of his face. He was overwhelmed with a surge of affection and amusement that was at Casey's expense, but he was only teasing, this did not change his opinion of Casey in the slightest. The other boy had proven to be an advanced fighter and an exceptionally good hunter so there was no reason to think anything other than that. When Casey peaked his head out his hair was slighly ruffled and his cheeks were flushed and it took everything in Luke's power not to grab him by the hair and kiss him. They had kissed already of course, but being half naked and under the sheets in a bed changed the implications of a kiss entirely and Luke was not willing to risk that right now, they had a nice dynamic going at the moment.
When the other hunter shifted so that he was crowded into Luke's personal space he quickly glanced down at him. There was hardly an inch of space left between them and Luke could feel body heat pouring out in waves off of the man next to him.
"Tell me what's okay and what is not"
He whispered quietly lacing their fingers together and pulling him closer and wrapping his other arm around him. They were not pressed together entirely but there was hardly any space between them and Luke kept his hands high and above the blankets not wanting to imply anything other than just feeling some sort of closeness between them.

Everything you do is okay. That was what Casey was tempted to blurt out but he refrained, noddiing almost shyly and cuddling into the offered embrace. He could feel Luke's muscles and how powerful they were and Casey nearly gasped. If he thought he had been weak in the knees at just thinking about them being close, well... he was practically puddy in Luke's hands in the position they were now.
His fingers tingled, warm in Luke's hand and Casey had to force himself not to act like some teenage girl with the giggling and blushing like mad. It was more heavy and hot with a man. And the strong angles and how their bodies fit perfectly together was...it was sensual. "T-this is more than okay." Casey finally admitted, unable to meet Luke's eyes and biting even more fiercly at his lip. He was close to making himself bleed from the stress on it.

Luke smiled enjoying the feeling of a warm body in his arms. Luke was not one to sleep around, he never had been. It had been awhile since he had been able to enjoy the comfort of having someone pressed up against him. The last time he had been able to do something like this was in his last relationship and thad had been quite awhile ago. He had been left a little shaken up after that break up and had not really opened himself up to anyone in a long time. It was a feeling he was quickly getting used too and he enjoyed it.
Luke tilted Casey's head up and gave him a soft kiss, mostly just a press against lips so he could express himself without using words. It felt awkward and uneccesary to launch into some kind of speech so he indulged in this, enjoying the sensation and tightening his hold on the other boy before pulling back and resting their foreheads together.
"I'm happy that we met. Not happy that you were being attacked by a wendigo of course, but happy that this came out of it."

Casey had to force himself to breath; the feeling of Luke’s skin against his own caused him to forget everything for a moment. He felt warm and content and it was the first time in years that he managed to get a hold of that feeling. Casey had always felt content when he was younger with his mom around but a lot of things had happened since then. He had become a hunter, he had lost his mother, and he had tried forming relationships only for them to be shattered within a day or two. This…this was different. Casey felt like he found where he belonged, despite how cheesy that sounded.
He bit back the urge to let out a little whimper or moan at Luke’s gentle administrations. He enjoyed the kiss. But even more so how patient Luke was being with him and just…well, just being there together.
“Me too,” His brain was malfunctioning slightly from the hormones so Casey wasn’t really able to come up with any more suave or cool-sounding in response but he figured the least amount of words the better.

Luke could feel himself flush, he was not about to put out after only knowing the guy for a day though. No matter how right it felt, he didn't want this relationship to start off being about sex. Luke was not one for flings and he didn't want it to fee that way. Luke smiled at Casey to let him know he was not angry or anything, but pulled back slightly and lifted the covers to slip under.
He could feel his eyes getting heavy and the days exhaustion seemed to be crashing down on him. The movie was coming too an end so he reached out and pressed the power button, turning the tv off. Luke burrowed his head into the pillow, letting out a noise that almost sounded like a cat and let himself get comfortable. He grabbed Casey's wrist and pulled him down into the covers and wrapped his arms around his waist pulling him closer. Luke loved to cuddle, he was looking forward to a warm and comfortable nice. Luke gave him another chaste kiss before letting his eyes slip close.
"Goodnight Casey"

Casey was beyond relieved. He hadn’t expected Luke to push him by any means but…the possibility of things getting out of hand and intimate had crossed his mind and stressed him out a bit. He still didn’t really know how to deal with all this- even though it was all good. Although he had been in charge in the previous two flings, those had been far back into the past and the girls practically screamed submissive. This time, Luke was in charge, in the intimacy department…and as thrilling as that was, it was also somewhat terrifying. Casey had to let go of the control he usually tightly held onto. Casey hid his smile of relieve and forced back the sigh that wanted to accompany it. A little of it managed to come out anyway but he stifled it fairly well.
His head spun as Luke pulled him close to cuddle and he felt protected. And loved. They barely knew each other and yet Casey felt like he was a puzzle piece finally finding his place in the grand scheme of things and Luke was part of that web. “G’night…” The brunet mumbled softly in return, cheeks still flushed as he tried to force his mind to stop whirling around and calm down.
