Sunflower -- PG-13 -- OB/VM
Title: Sunflower
Author: Chevauchée [![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
renjenri]
Pairing: ... uh .... Sorta Orlando/Viggo
Summary: To be touched is to surrender control.
Rating: PG-13 for language
Disclaimer: I've never touched Orlando, nor been touched by him. Damn. And I don't know him. Double damn. Totally not true.
Feedback: We likes it, we do.
Notes: Thanks to Shaenie for hand holding.
Orlando doesn't let anyone get close to him. Ever.
Even as he grabs Viggo, it's not that Viggo is close to him. He is choosing to be close to Viggo.
It's all in the initiation for Orlando.
Billy'd gotten a hug after his first sentence to Orlando. Two strangers, hugging in the middle of Heathrow. It was a bit mad. Orlando had needed to touch someone that day and Billy was there. So he'd clung, and kept an arm about Billy after he'd gotten his money.
Orlando touches everyone and that's a fact. He needs to be touched, needs to feel someone warm against him. But everyone knows better than to initiate it without warning. Don't grab him from behind. Make sure he knows you're at his side if you're going to throw an arm around him. If you don't, he will go stiff as iron and pull away so fast that it's like a snake striking in reverse.
People puzzled over it, but they learned fast.
Before they learned, though, some of them figured he'd be one hell of a lay. After all, no one who likes touching that much can be celibate, right?
Orlando can. He usually is. For all that he is what Elijah calls a 'contact whore', he doesn't fuck around. He touches with all the appearance of intimacy, never the actuality. And no one touches Orlando without his consent, lest they be caught in the backlash.
He touches and is untouchable.
There were theories, carefully spoken, never when he was near. It's a mystery and everyone likes a good mystery. Some people say he is a tease. Others say he's just holding out for someone he can trust.
None of them are right.
Orlando knows, seemingly has always known, that if you let someone touch you, you give them power. If you become comfortable with their touch, you might begin to love them.
He still craves touch like sunflowers turn their faces towards the sun. Needs it desperately and hungrily. But he won't surrender control, not ever.
If you love someone, they'll leave you. Orlando knows this too.
The sun doesn't make sunflowers turn, they do so themselves.
So Orlando touches Viggo, and Viggo allows him the touch he craves, and hopes that someday Orlando will let himself be touched.
