Re: take joy in it, (Taff)Evans/Scott/Lashly, E, [2/2]
(Anonymous) 2023-11-05 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)“Not much—“ I pant, rather desperately. “But I—I’m going to—”
Failing to heed my warning, Lashly once again parts his chapped lips for me, and this time I shudder in ecstasy as I experience him fully. In a day that has run the full range of human experience, this is too much for me. In an instant, warnings serve no more purpose as I spend into this good, good stoker’s throat.
“I’m sorry!—I said….” I trail off as he gently licks me dry and eases off me, leaving a final kiss on my aching tip. “Oh.”
Evans slows his tempo, removing his fingers as he laughs. “No, Captain, it’s no bother for old Lasho. If I may, I think you’re not the only one who’s been craving for Devonshire cream while marching hungry, sir.”
I know how smug his visage would be if it were in my field of vision, and I let out a chortle as I pull up my pyjama bottoms and lay there. The sailors snuggle on either side of me, evidently waiting for my say-so to open the sleeping-bag flap. But I am not ready. I need a moment to collect myself.
“I can—” I start, finally, unsure due to my tired-out state out the truth of what I am about to say but committing to it anyway—at least until Evans immediately interrupts.
“No, sir, don’t you do anything just now but rest up.” Apparently my imminent offer of return services was all too easy to see through. Chastised as a child, I acquiesce.
“How about that second cup of cocoa?” Lashly offers. “You ought to keep warm, sir.”
And I throw open the flap to the blinding, cheerful day, and smile at my two companions. Officers may pride themselves on their talk, I think, but sailors know how to live.

(Anonymous) 2023-11-06 10:55 am (UTC)(link)And man such perfect characterizations - "It really wasn't necessary to question his ability to count" is such a great nod to Scott's tendency to be scathing in the moment and regretful afterward. "A precise and retiring temperament" is such a great sketch of Lashly. And Taff's voice is irresistibly perfect in this.
Above all I adore how sweet and TENDER this is. Like. They just all really like each other!!!!
