[ henry doesn't know why he invites sam over, actually. he's not exactly a stabilizing force, or whatever, not like blue or adam or andy or anyone else henry has been anchoring himself to since camp. then again. sam always makes time for him. he's been trustworthy. and. henry likes him enough that the thought that that might change left him in mild panic.
that's an awful development.
he considers unlocking the door so it's open by the time sam arrives before remembering he already has a key. instead, he sprawls upside down over the sofa, letting himself get dizzy and trying not to think about anything else. ]
( camp was shit. the aftermath of it was also shit. sam's still got scars from shit that happened before they were bussed back into the city, and it--pisses him off. less the marks, more that they're still there, ones that he would have healed over in moments without being shoved someplace--depowered. the bullshit that went on with fucking satan during camp.
how shit bram felt during.
but sam's opted to ignore any of that happened and pretend everything's just fucking dandy, because that's the only way he knows how to deal with crap without losing his shit. sam raps his fingers on the front door, before testing the door knob and pulling out his key when he finds it's still locked. lets himself in and leaves the key on the closest flat surface inside the door before he's toeing the door shut and locking it behind himself.
moves over to the sofa and drops himself down on the floor in front of it, head tipping back to rest against henry. )
[ henry hadn't looked up from his position, so he heard sam come in more than he saw. he can still tell that sam didn't bother taking his shoes off from the sound of his footsteps. he should probably let it go. it's been a long month. it was terrible for all of them. it's perfectly understandable that he wouldn't be thinking about a somewhat arbitrary house rule. something small that doesn't even really matter.
but it matters to henry. it's his rule. and after camp- a week of being forced into things, not even allowed to set his own schedule. after having to share his house with someone he doesn't even like. he should be allowed to have one rule.
shifting slightly, henry leans his head against sam's. and reaching kind of awkwardly behind him, he runs his fingers through sam's hair and speaks softly. but firmly. ]
Sam? Did you forget to take your goddamn shoes off in my house?
Fuck. ( hissed between teeth, because he's really comfortable right now. henry's fingers in his hair are a goddamn delight, the weight of him is nice, and sam doesn't want to fucking move just because he forgot something as stupid as taking off his shitty boots. he groans soft, leans into henry more and--presses his heels down against the floor, hoping the pressure'll be enough to slide them off. they're laced loosely, it's not that far shot.
and it does work, eventually. it takes a bit of squirming around but not enough to dislodge henry's fingers, which is the whole damn point of struggling through to begin with. the boots slide off, sam kicks them closer using a leg, then lays them down on their side right beside the couch.
figures that's out of the way enough. probably. )
My bad. ( at least he likes them well enough to actually. admit fault instead of bitching about how stupid that rule is and how they'll regret it when some giant ass monster attached their house and they need to run out in a rush but have no goddamn shoes on. )
[ henry can feel sam start wriggling long enough to get his shoes off, but he keeps his hand where it is regardless, arcing his thumb back and forth across sam's scalp. tipping is head back, he saw sam set the boots aside and he smiled. ah. that felt kind of nice.
the fact that sam was willing to do what he said without a fight or even teasing. henry wonders if it's because he actually cares or is just too annoyed to argue it. until he heard the apology.
half-sliding half-rolling off the couch, henry landed next to sam before placing a knee over each side of his legs. he knelt hovering above sam's lap. ]
Thank you.
[ raking his hands through sam's hair again, he pressed their foreheads together. ]
( he can behave himself, when he feels like it. the when he feels like it is the most important bit, because outside of this house it doesn't happen very often. but it's just himself and henry here, sam doesn't have to front and be. well. more of an asshole than he normally is. henry's fingers are nice, sam's not going to do shit that'd encourage henry to stop touching him.
and then henry's sliding down, climbing over him, running fingers through sam's hair and leaning into him. sam closes his eyes, raises a hand to press his palm against henry's jawline. a gentle touch, present but not forceful. )
It was so hard, I don't know how I managed it. But I did it, for you.
[ henry huffs in amusement. he rolls his eyes at sam's exaggeration. obstinance. he's lucky henry is fond of him, even if he couldn't say why. ]
Very good, then.
[ leaning back on his heels, henry presses his face against sam's. nosing along his cheekbone, not really kissing. but not really not kissing. this is good. this is so much better. how sam arrived when henry asked for him, like he wants to be here. actually listens to him.
sliding one of his hands down to sam's chest, henry curls his fingers and grips the fabric of sam's shirt in his fist. lifting it an inch or two. ]
( was it a booty call? that's debatable. but for argument's sake, sam'll say yes until proven otherwise. henry presses up against him, and sam's tipping his head back to try and turn his gentle nuzzling into something a little more. brushes his lips against henry's own, still just gentle surface pressure.
moves the hand that isn't pressing against henry's face to loosely wrap around his waist. )
So I guess it'd depend on what you want from me.
( not a blanket statement yes, but as close to one as sam really gets. )
[ henry smiles against sam's mouth, but doesn't go any further. not yet. maybe at one point this visit could've gone several different ways, but now it's certainly seeming like a booty call. hmm.
so that's not what he wants to hear. and he doesn't even believe it, really, that sam wouldn't do whatever he had in mind. but fair enough. henry's the only one who knows what he has in mind after all. it's not as though they've discussed it. he can can do that.
widening his knees so that his hips were pressed closer to sam's, henry curls his fingers in sam's hair- tightening his grip barely at all. he pulls away just the few inches needed to look at sam's face. ]
So what would make you say no to me? Give me an example.
