     "Damn!"  

     The exclaimed curse carried through the open French doors to the kitchen, where Jim
was searching the refrigerator, near desperation, for an unhealthy snack. //Last time I let sprout
boy do the grocery shopping,// he thought, shaking his head in disgust.

     "I don't believe this!!"

     "What's the problem in there, Sandburg?  Computer freeze again?"

     "Don't even mention that," Blair muttered, coming out of his old room to join his lover in
the kitchen.  "I can't believe, out of all the damn...*paper* I have in that room, I can't find the
one piece of information I need."

     "Maybe this weekend we can convert it into an office.  Builder's Square is having a sale on
shelves, I think.  Simon claims we don't have to work this weekend."

     "He's been *claiming* that for the last three weekends.  Every week I think we're going
to get that bedroom fixed up and every weekend we get screwed out of our time off," Blair
grumbled, going to the refrigerator and finding a bag of carrot sticks.  He began munching
happily, oblivious to the venomous glare he was receiving.

     //Love-hate relationship.  That's what this is.  Eats like a fucking rabbit...and grocery
shops like one too,// Jim thought as his stomach grumbled again.  

     "You know, sometimes I think you're only sleeping with me to get yourself a home
office," Jim quipped.  "By the way, did you buy anything but rabbit food at the store, Chief?"

     "I don't think rabbits eat Moose Tracks ice cream.  Check the freezer, man.  And a home
office has nothing to do with it.  It's just a nice perk."

     //Okay, back to love,// Jim thought, opening the freezer and pulling out the new carton of
ice cream.

     "I'm gonna keep looking."  Blair headed back to his old room, and Jim ignored his words
for the moment, sating his baser instincts with the ice cream and a nice long ogle of Blair's butt
through the boxer shorts he wore with an old, loose tank shirt.  It was almost bedtime, and it had
been a blistering hot day.  After showering, both men had found clean underwear and wandered
around the loft, cooling off and relaxing.  

     After a satisfying belch, Jim put the ice cream back in the freezer and wandered into
Blair's ransacked bedroom.  The other man was on his knees, sitting back on his heels on the
floor near the bed, sorting through a stack of envelopes.

     "What'd you lose?"

     "Naomi's address in New York!  She's staying with some friends out there for a couple
months, and next week's her birthday, and I got her this really cool present I want to mail to
her--I didn't show it to you yet, did I?"  Blair started to get up, but Jim put up a halting hand.

     "Did she send it to you in a letter?"

     "Yes.  And I had it right in my pile of stuff I need to answer, or deal with somehow--bills
and stuff--and now it's *gone*."

     "You're upset about this, aren't you, baby?"  Jim said softly, kneeling behind Blair and
nibbling at his earlobe.

     "Sex isn't going to distract me here, man.  I want to find it so I can mail the present
tomorrow."

     "Let me help you look.  You didn't put it in here by mistake, did you?"  Jim asked
innocently, reaching up under Blair's tank shirt and massaging a nipple to hardness.  

     "Uh...maybe you should keep looking...I think you're getting warmer," Blair retorted.

     "I think we both are."  Jim continued his explorations of Blair's body until the two men
stretched out on the floor together, hands roaming, clothing flying until they were skin on skin. 
Kissing frantically and rubbing their engorging cocks together as they humped against each
other, they reached a fast and frenzied shared climax.

     "I love you, you know.  I'd love you even if I didn't get a home office," Blair said,
grinning and kissing Jim's lips lightly.  

     "I love you too, sweetheart.  And I promise you the best home office we can put together. 
On our next weekend off."

     "What about this one?"  Blair pouted.

     "You can't think of anything better to do all weekend than trailing through home
improvement stores?"  Jim asked, smiling and stroking Blair's face with the backs of his fingers.

     "Well...maybe one or two things," Blair conceded, just before Jim rolled them over,
pinning his lover beneath him and covering the full lips with his own.  He was more than a little
miffed when they wrenched away from him suddenly and he found himself kissing Blair's ear as
the other man turned his head to look under the bed next to which they had fallen.

     "Look!  That's it!"  Blair strained to reach it, and with a grumble of something decidedly
obscene, Jim reached under the bed, his longer arm just able to snag the small envelope Blair
sought.  

     "Naomi's address?"

     "Yes!"  Blair grabbed it happily.  Then rolled his eyes.

     "What?"

     "One thing I know for sure.  I am *not* explaining to my mother how I found this."

The End ;-)
