Jim was outside his loft door, getting ready to put the key in when he heard Blair talking to someone on the telephone. He knew it was the telephone because the second voice sounded very faint and far away. He listened for a moment and realized it was Connor. Jim knew he shouldn\u2019t be eavesdropping, but he couldn\u2019t help it. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I can\u2019t tell Jim that. What are you nuts?\u201d<\/b> Blair asked Connor. <\/p>\n
\u201cAre you afraid he\u2019ll smack you around or something?\u201d<\/b> Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim would never hit me, but he could ask me to move out and that would be worse,\u201d <\/b> Blair admitted. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, so what are you afraid of?\u201d <\/b> Connor inquired. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s as straight as they come and I can\u2019t tell him that I want to bend him over the kitchen table and fuck him senseless,\u201d <\/b> Blair said softly. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe probably already knows it anyhow, Sandy,\u201d <\/b> Connor pointed out. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean he might already know it?\u201d <\/b> Blair asked incredulously. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a Sentinel for Christ\u2019s sake, Sandy. You\u2019re his Guide you ought to know this.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cHe would never let me stay if he knew, believe me,\u201d <\/b> Blair said sadly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you talking about? Are we talking about the same Jim Ellison? The one that would do anything for you?\u201d <\/b>Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cConnor, there is a limit as to what a friend would be willing to do,\u201d <\/b>Blair said. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe loves you, I\u2019m telling you and I\u2019m rarely wrong. I can tell the way he looks at you and he talks to you. He doesn\u2019t do that with anyone else. Only you,\u201d <\/b> Connor stated. <\/p>\n
\u201cConnor, you\u2019re out of your mind. Jim doesn\u2019t love me, he just likes me as his friend, partner and roommate. Believe me I\u2019d know what to look for,\u201d <\/b> Blair assured Connor. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is insane, I don\u2019t know why were even discussing it. You\u2019re a chicken shit and won\u2019t say anything to him anyhow,\u201d <\/b> Connor accused him. <\/p>\n
\u201cDamn straight. I guess that\u2019s not totally true anymore, is it?\u201d <\/b> Blair started laughing, sounding almost hysterical. <\/p>\n
\u201cSandy, why are you getting hysterical?\u201d <\/b> Connor heard it in his laugh. <\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I\u2019m going to have to move so I don\u2019t say or do something that will offend Jim,\u201d <\/b> Blair said sadly. <\/p>\n
Jim stood outside his door and couldn\u2019t believe what he was hearing. He had feelings for Blair for some time, but didn\u2019t say anything because he figured the babe magnet wouldn\u2019t be interested. It was weird finding out that Blair felt the same way he did. Now he just had to bring it up without telling Blair he heard his entire conversation. He leaned against the wall and waited to see if the phone call was almost done. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou are not going to move, you twit,\u201d <\/b> Connor warned. <\/p>\n
\u201cEasy for you to say, you\u2019re not in love with Jim,\u201d <\/b> Blair declared. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh you are so full of it. He\u2019s in love with you too. Just talk to him and if he doesn\u2019t feel the same way you do, then you can move in with me,\u201d <\/b> Connor invited, knowing he would be worried about where he would go. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d let me move in with you?\u201d <\/b> Blair wondered. <\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, that\u2019s what best mates are for Sandy,\u201d <\/b> Connor confessed. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll think about it and get back with you later,\u201d <\/b> Blair said winding down for the night. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll call you later to see how it went,\u201d <\/b> Connor replied. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, thanks for being here when I needed you, Connor,\u201d <\/b> Blair said thankfully. <\/p>\n
\u201cBye, Sandy.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cBye, Connor.\u201d <\/b>And Blair hung up the phone. <\/p>\n
Blair didn\u2019t know what he was going to do about this. He surely didn\u2019t have enough courage to talk to Jim about it, because he would know if Jim swung both ways, right? <\/p>\n
Jim stood out in the hallway waiting a good amount of time before he unlocked the door and walked in. When Jim came through the doorway, Blair came walking out of his bedroom and said, \u201cHey Jim. How was the stake-out?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard what you said on the phone,\u201d Jim blurted out. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh god, I\u2019m so sorry, Jim.\u201d Blair said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you sorry about? Sorry that I heard it, or sorry that you love me?\u201d Jim asked defensively. <\/p>\n
\u201cSorry that you heard me,\u201d Blair admitted. He kept waiting for Jim to blow a fuse, but he wasn\u2019t. Jim seemed almost calm and that scared Blair even more. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m glad to hear that you\u2019re not sorry you love me, because I love you too,\u201d Jim confessed. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou what?\u201d Blair asked incredulously. <\/p>\n
\u201cI said I love you, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly shit,\u201d Blair blurted out. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo where do we go from here?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI guess dating would be a good place to start,\u201d Blair suggested. <\/p>\n
\u201cCan we make out on the sofa tonight?\u201d Jim almost begged. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think that could be arranged,\u201d Blair said smiling. <\/p>\n
Jim walked over to Blair and leaned down and kissed Blair with all of the need, want and desire he could muster. It was working, because before long Blair was panting with need. <\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe dating isn\u2019t that important,\u201d Blair said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think we should go slowly. Make out tonight, date tomorrow night and sleep together the next. How does that sound?\u201d Jim couldn\u2019t believe he was going to be sleeping with Blair Sandburg. <\/p>\n
\u201cSounds good to me. Are you hungry?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor you, always,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cI meant for dinner, I made something and can heat it up for you,\u201d Blair offered. <\/p>\n
\u201cI ate on the way home. So I suggest we sit on the sofa and make out like teenagers.\u201d Jim took Blair by his hand and almost tossed him onto the sofa. <\/p>\n
\u201cHave I mentioned lately that I love you?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, but I liked hearing it,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
The phone rang and Blair answered, \u201cSandburg.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSandy, how are you doing now?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t talk to you, I\u2019m making out with Jim on the sofa,\u201d Blair said quickly. <\/p>\n
Jim started laughing and kissed Blair\u2019s neck while waiting for him to get off the phone. <\/p>\n
\u201cI told you.\u201d Connor hung up the phone, she knew she was right and he would have to learn to live with that from now on. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s got a big mouth, everyone will know soon,\u201d Jim said as he continued kissing Blair\u2019s neck. <\/p>\n
\u201cDoes it bother you that some people will know about us?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cNot a bit. Now could we stop talking and start kissing? And making out does include groping doesn\u2019t it? \u201cJim wondered aloud. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt sure does,\u201d Blair said and began his own version of groping right then and there, <\/p>\n
This was going to be good. <\/p>\n
