Title: Toy Soldier
Pairing: Elijah Wood/Jake Gyllenhaal
Summary: My own wild imagination with Elijah's new clean shaven head.
Rated: PG




Toy Soldier



“Lijah, wha--?” Jake put his sling bag down onto the couch and stepped tentatively toward the fridge next to the bar where his boyfriend was stooping before the open refrigerator. Elijah straightened up and turned around, a bottle beer in his hand, effectively blocking the soft light from the cooling machine. But his painted clean-shaven head still stood out in the dimly-lit pantry.

“Lij, you never said anything about you totally losing your hair in that movie.” Jake’s voice was mordant with disappointment, but the man immediately regretted ever saying the words as he caught sight of Elijah’s alarmed, widening eyes.

“You hate this?” Elijah whispered gravely, slowly lowering the hand with the beer. “I thought you were gonna love it. I know I loved your Jarhead style… oh my God!” Elijah looked suddenly panicked and he rubbed the smooth skin of his head. “I must look hideous,” he breathed raggedly. “I should’ve known you’d hate this.” Elijah gaped at Jake wretchedly. “Please don’t hate me. Don’t leave me – please. It’ll grow back. It won’t take long, I promise you.”

Jake was taken aback by Elijah’s words, feeling even sorrier.

“Who said anything about leaving you, Lij?” he grasped Elijah’s shoulders. “and how low do you think I am? I don’t love you because of your hair or – or your eyes, or lips.” Jake’s eyes swept over Elijah’s slightly quivering lips and he stroked the bottom lip with the pad of his thumb.

“And I haven’t said anything about your new … hairstyle, have I?” A small quirk turned up in one corner of his mouth. “You know what I really think?” Jake shook Elijah a little. The younger man shook his head. Jake smiled.

“Well I think,” he continued. “I think you look great with it. You look so tough and strong, but you’re still my beautiful Elijah.”

Elijah’s eyes flickered with joy. “Really?” he beamed. (And there goes the tough and strong image.)

“Yeah!” Jake chuckled. “And you know what?”

“What?” Elijah’s smile dissipated, he squinting, and those eyes were widening again as Jake started to unbutton his checked shirt.

“I think your head will be better off with you without this.” Jake completed the task he assigned for himself and slid the shirt off Elijah’s shoulders. Elijah shivered slightly as his upper body was suddenly exposed to cool air. Jake hummed softly at the lovely display of his lover’s bare chest – with only his two dog tags dangling from his neck.

“You’ve been working out, huh?” Jake murmured, running his hand over Elijah’s sculpted chest muscles and his peaked light-coffee nub.

Throwing his head back, Elijah sighed at the incredible sensation the touch created.

“Come on,” Jake said, his voice suddenly husky. “Into the room, quickly. I want to play with my very own toy soldier.”

Oh my, a lovely new story. I am still not happy with the shave thing though. I know everyone loves it...but....LOL
Anyway, loved the story! It was very hot and cute all at the same time!

“I think you look great with it. You look so tough and strong, but you’re still my beautiful Elijah.”

Hehe. Yes.

I love the new look, even though I love his long hair too. I just think Elijah is beautiful, no matter what. And this fic is so sweet and tender.

MMmm, the two of them together.
They're among the sexiest guys out there, and isn't it strange they both had to shave their heads for professional reasons?
But they look so great, with or without hair.

And your fic is just ... let's say, stimulating erotic fantasies about them ..
Good, before going to sleep!

I love this fic! (Although Elijah seems a little - insecure!)

Nice. And the last line made me laugh!
