billy and dom are meant to be

At first it seemed like just another one of their rare days off. Sure it was just the two of them but hey they were mates, weren’t they? It didn’t always have to be all of the gang. Some days it was just two or three of them even if mostly it was the four of them. Lij, Orli, Billy and Dom. Anyway lij was busy today shooting scenes with Sean and Ian *Ha, Ha no day of for ring boy!*. Orli had the day off too and decided it was time for another one of his madcap schemes with one of the cast. Seems Vig is the unlucky victim this time.
Billy had exchanged that look with him; they had quietly debated about Orli’s new fascination with Vig. Even Dom had noticed Orli blatantly watching Vig with a strange look in his eyes, somewhere half way between fear and love. None of them knew Vig too well, he was quiet and a little distant but the bond he had formed with Orli was obvious to everyone on set. Even the flipping sound guys were putting bets on the day they got caught behind the make up trailer.
But Billy and Dom were worried for Orli.The guy had just barely copped on he was gay and it looked like he had fallen for Vig hard. Even if nothing had happened yet it was inevitable and the last thing they wanted was for Vig to break his heart. If that was the furthest thing from the man’s mind, well they didn’t know that so they were still worried. But there was nothing they could do to stop him. Orli was a (mostly) grown man and he was so stubborn they wouldn’t have been able to dissuade him anyway.
So it was just him and Billy. Billy and him. He watched as Billy twisted round in the pool swiftly starting another lap. Dom decided he should get in the pool quickly as his eyes traced Billy’s body swimming deftly through the clear waters. Cold water will help. *Closest I can get to a cold shower which is definitely what I need right now*. He decided it was about time to piss Billy off. He rose from the poolside recliner and bombed into the water just a few feet from Billy and succeeded in stopping him mid-lap.

“Hey fuckin watch where ya throw yourself in Dom!”

*God, he looks so sexy when he’s mad.* His skin glowed with the healthy tan from a warm New Zealand summer. A small part of Dom felt guilty, he knew the only reason he purposefully pissed Billy off was so he could see him angry. *He looks so beautiful when he’s angry*. He grinned cheekily at Billy before splashing him again. He knew the smile worked as he was on the receiving end of a revenge splash from Billy. And so the games began.
They went on in splash wars for a few minutes before it got more rowdy, wrestling in the water and mock drowning each other. Dom dunked Billy under one last time before jumping out of the pool and declaring himself the victor. He knew Billy wouldn’t accept that, he had a funny competitive streak. Billy was out of the pool in a shot and running after Dom who made it to the house before Billy caught up with him. When he got in to the kitchen Dom felt hands wrap around him in wrestling technique he had taught Billy once. Even Dom couldn’t get out of this one.*Damn it next time I learn how to get out of this thing before I teach it to someone else* at the same time he felt Billy hands tracing over his skin. He was always sensitive to tickles, Billy knew that. Within in seconds in between laughing and crying, Dom was begging for mercy.

“Ah, ah Billy stop! Mercy, I beg ya please”

Billy loosened his grip, happy at the victory. Dom pretended he imagined the hidden look in Billy’s glance. *Wishful thinking* he reasoned. Dom realised all of a sudden Billy hadn’t fully let go. His arm was still wrapped around Dom’s waist. His eyes lower to the physical contact but Billy still hasn’t let go. He looked up and into Billy’s eyes not missing the obvious this time. Billy’s eyes were filled with lust and something else that Dom knew was in his eyes too. *Just friends* he tried repeating it in is head but the words were just a hollow denial, an act that he didn’t want to keep up anymore. Now he had Billy’s arms around him, their skin touching, it was enough to send Dom’s pulse racing at the speed of light and Billy knew it. His hand was gentle on the soft skin of Dom’s wrist. His accent sounded softer, huskier than Dom had ever heard it before. *So sexy* he thought.

“So you feel that too huh?”

He spoke quietly. It took Dom a few minutes to realise it had been a question but Dom couldn’t find the words to say everything, so instead he lowered his mouth to Billy’s, gently, shyly so afraid. He thought of what could come of this. Worst was Billy pulls away and their embarrassed for a few days before they get over it, right? Wrong. Dom knew as soon as he thought it. *If Billy pulls away that means he doesn’t want this doesn’t want me and if Billy doesn’t want me I’ll, I’ll, I’ll curl up and die!* the thoughts entered his head and he stopped his slow journey to Billy’s mouth as it suddenly came crashing down on him. *if Billy pulls away I’ll curl up and die because I love Billy and I can’t live without him if he doesn’t want-*
Dom’s thoughts were cut off by a pair of soft, wonderfully questioning lips on his. Billy had grown impatient and scared when Dom had stopped and decided that if Dom wouldn’t he would. He had to know. Dom responded as soon as his brain starting functioning, crushing his lips against Billy’s. Kissing him, claiming him, loving him. His mind and all coherent thoughts were washed away by the feeling of their tongues intertwined. When they finally came up for air which inevitably you had to, Billy started kissing his neck, his chin, and his arm tightened around Dom’s waist and Dom heard him whispering little words in between kisses. Words like “so long” and “waited” and the words that set Dom’s heart racing. *Please tell me I’m not imagining it. He said “love you” didn’t he? Oh god, did he say it please.*
Dom let his hand sneak up and down Billy’s back finding a sensitive spot on Billy’s lower back, just above the waistline of his trunks. Billy stopped his assault on Dom’s neck and sighed when Dom’s hands slowly stroked his back. He looked in Billy’s eyes and he knew he had to say if only just find out and hopefully have Billy say it back.

“I love you Billy”

The words sounded laced with fear as much as love.

“Oh god Dom I love you too!”

Billy’s eyes were filled with tears but Dom knew they were happy ones so it was ok. Everything was ok now. Dom pulled him into a hug, every bit of their exposed skin touching. They whispered the words in each others ears over and over. Both of them were silently cursing themselves for waiting so long and wasting all those months wanting each other and not doing anything t itt it. They were so wrapped up in each other they didn’t even notice the jingle of keys in the front door or hear the pair of footsteps making their way to the kitchen. They were completely caught off guard by the sound of Orlando voice laced with amusement at the sight in front of his eyes.

“Well that took long enough. Geez I thought you guys would take all year to get it together”

Billy and Dom looked over in shock to see Orlando in the door way of the kitchen. Orlando and Viggo. Orlando and Viggo holding hands. They didn’t jump apart guiltily instead they slowly unwound from each other but Billy kept his arm possessively around Dom’s waist and Dom held on to Billy’s hand. They were both smiling, there were no red faces or guilty looks. They loved each other, everything was ok. Dom noted the hands of Viggo and Orli still entwined.

“I could say the same about you two”

He replied with a smile.
