Shifting a bit, Viggo pulled Dominic more comfortably between his
legs--letting the kiss linger, then simply holding the young man against his
chest, enjoying the feel of having someone in his arms like this.

"Tell me your dreams Dom," he whispered. "Tell me what you want out of
life."

_+_+_+_+_+

Dom reached his toes out to turn off the taps as he thought. No one
had ever really asked him something like that before, either things
had been shoved at him or, like this movie, he'd fluked through by
the skin of his teeth.

"My dreams...I don't wish for much out of life, really. A roof over my
head and a full belly. Friends...that's good...and I think I've made
more than a few here that I'll try my hardest to keep hold of. But my
dreams...my dreams are to stop the nightmares...to get control of my
life, to shake off the past and try to step out into the future.
It'll be a big step, I know, but..." He looked up into Viggo's face
again, eyes full of hope. "With you I think it'll be easier...I hope
so..."

_+_+_+_+_+

Seeing the hope in those eyes, the trust--the fact that Dominic was putting
complete and total faith in him to be able to make things okay...it gave
Viggo pause. Was this the wisest decision? Allowing this to continue at
the pace it was? And not even for him, but for *Dominic*...was it what the
young man actually needed?

Viggo remembered being young, remembered how easy it was to fall so hard and
so fast for someone. He knew he and Dom had to be at different places in
their lives--the age gap would make it almost impossible to avoid.

Was this best?

But looking into those eyes, Viggo realised he couldn't really make it be
any other way. Yes, he could easily grow to love this young man...but it
couldn't be denied that this had all transpired very quickly. And what if
things cooled just as quickly, for Dominic? Viggo's fire may not ignite
instantly when it comes to loving someone, but once it was there it was
intense and all consuming and was not easy to douse.

Reaching out, he caressed Dominic's face, expression thoughtful as he
pondered these things in the few brief moments he looked into those eyes.
Maybe it wasn't the wisest thing, to encourage how hard Dominic had fallen
for him, but he didn't think it was negative either. It was obviously
something that had been building for Dom, the something that sent him
stumbling out in the middle of nowhere looking for Viggo.

~What were your intentions?~ he wondered silently. ~I somehow don't think
you thought to stumble out there and throw yourself at me...~

Finally, Viggo spoke--though not that much time had passed.

"This kind of undertaking insures we will either take away great friends for
life, or the strongest of enemies," he chuckled softly. "And you can make
the nightmares stop, you can take control of your life. You simply have to
do it. And I will help you however I can, but Dom--you don't need me to do
that."

_+_+_+_+_+

"I know," Dom replied simply, truthful. "I don't *need* you for that.
But I do *want* you Viggo. And I know some people will disapprove,
and I'm not kidding myself into thinking this'll be a walk in the
park or anything, but I want to try, to give it all I have. To try to
fix my life and to make you happy. *That's* what I want from life
right now."

_+_+_+_+_+

"Alright," Viggo said, stroking Dom's hair and face, smiling gently.
Hearing Dom say that had helped. Viggo did not mind being there for the
young man, knew that having someone to lean on would make things easier. As
long as the young man realised that it wasn't *him* who would make it
happen.

"Fix your life to make you happy though, not to make me happy." He smiled
gently, then kissed Dom. "But really all you need to do is see how
wonderful you really are. You've not much to change about yourself,
Dom....."

_+_+_+_+_+

Dom smiled gently, feeling the warmth from the bath seep into his
aching muscles, feeling the warmth and sturdiness from Viggo behind
him, legs either side of him, just to be here and held was comfort
enough to get him through anything life could throw at him right now.

"You help me see that, help me see I'm more than I think. Help me
think that I actually *am* worth something Vig." He snuggled back
further, knees out of the water and toes balancing on the mixer taps
gently. "Right here...right now...I *am* happy." He opened his eyes,
blinking slightly as he looked up and back into Viggo's eyes,
resting his head gently on the man's shoulder. "I am happy," he
sighed.

_+_+_+_+

Viggo tightened his arms around Dominic slightly, kissing the top of his
forehead. It was a heady feeling, having that much control over someone's
mood...their self perception. He was glad for the age difference actually,
glad to be able to do that much trust justice, instead of exploiting and
abusing it, even if by folly and not malicious intent.

"I'm glad," Viggo said. "You deserve to be happy."

_+_+_+_+_+

A slow smile erupted across Dom's face as he realised he probably
did deserve to be happy. And how content he was here in Viggo's arms.
He wrapped his own arms around and over the mans, fingers flexing
over wrists as he stared down, noticed his own wrists and the red but
fading marks running rings around them.

He held them both up, turning his hands so he could examine the marks
closer, see every abrasion where he'd pulled on the cuffs and they'd
dug into his skin. "I think I could seriously get used to this Viggo,
being here with you, being your lover, being your pet sometimes,
maybe..." He dropped his hands into the swilling water, instinctively
coming to rest on Viggo's wrists again, holding on. "...Maybe I could
use the cuffs on you sometime?" he ended, uncertain eyes looking up
to Viggo's again.

_+_+_+_+_+

Viggo's eyes were drawn to the marks as well, watching as Dominic examined
himself, arms still wrapped around the young man. He wondered what was
going through his lover's head, but didn't have to wait long to find out.
Shifting his hands a bit, he took Dominic's hands, giving them a light
squeeze.

He thought about that for a moment, about Dominic's question. The young man
had come to it all on his own. He couldn't hide the slow smile that spread
across his face.

"I would very much like you to do that," he admitted to the young man. It
wasn't just anyone that he would admit those urgings to, much less agree
to--so that was telling in itself. Though Viggo didn't feel it the right
moment to bring that up. "If you want to try, I'd love to be on the
receiving end..."

_+_+_+_+_+

The smile returned, uncertainty vanished again. //The receiving
end...God that sounds so good!// "Yeah...I'd like to try
that...sometime..." The smile turned into grin slowly. //Let me get
settled, let me learn what you like, then it'll be time for sometime.
I'll surprise you.// "Thank you."

_+_+_+_+_+

"What's going through that wicked little head of yours?" Viggo teased, hands
moving to tickle Dom's sides lightly now. "What sort of devious thoughts?"

"And you don't need to thank me, I promise you I'll enjoy it just as much as
you do..."

Running his hands back up Dominic's sides, Viggo caressed gently.

"Turn around, face me."

_+_+_+_+_+

"Me wicked...never!" he giggled.

Dom turned over, grin still plastered on his face, he stopped with
his chin leaning on his folded arms on Viggo's chest, knees on the
bottom of the tub and feet raised out of the water, his body resting
against Viggo's. "If I tell you all my devious plans Vig...then it
wouldn't be as much of a surprise, now would it?"

_+_+_+_+_+

Viggo ran his hands down Dominic's back, caressing, smiling down at him. He
leaned forward, kissing him deeply...finally pulling back.

"I'm sure I could make you tell me every last sordid detail," he teased.
"But I won't--because you're right. What fun would it be if you did?"

_+_+_+_+_+

Dom leaned up into the kiss, loving the soft feel of lips on lips.

"Oh, I have no doubt you could make me tell...eventually. You think
you'd have fun trying to get it out of me?" He practically purred the
last few words. This was certainly a change of viewpoint for Dom but
he knew suddenly that he did have certain power over Viggo. He'd
certainly never felt like *this* before.

_+_+_+_+_+

"I think I would have a great deal of fun trying to get the information out
of you," Viggo agreed, hands moving down Dominic's droplet covered back again.
"And I'd wager that you would enjoy it just as much..." His smile was wicked as he
leaned down to kiss the young man lightly. "But not right now I think...."

Hands moving down Dom's side, the smile returned.

"Are you ticklish?"

_+_+_+_+_+

His sides clenched up automatically as strong hands and teasing
fingers felt their way down his sides. The bath had relaxed Dominic
and the talking eased his mind. //So now it's time for fun I think!//

"No...." he lied, trying to keep his voice calm.

_+_+_+_+_+

Viggo laughed, tickling a bit more. He didn't believe it for a second, he
had felt the young man tense. He leaned forward, kissing his neck as he
tickled.

"Liar," he breathed against his younger lover's flesh. "I think you are
very ticklish......"

_+_+_+_+_+

Dom squirmed from one side to the other, trying to escape the fingers
which seemed to be everywhere in the damn bath. He watched as the
water splooshed about, tried not to giggle like a school girl.

_+_+_+_+_+

Viggo didn't care about the splashing water, not relenting on his tickling
yet--liking how Dominic squirmed against him.

_+_+_+_+_+

"No fair, Vig....hey...nononono no...aww come on..." And then he tried
to escape too hard and sat back up onto his knees "Hey...watch out..."

_+_+_+_+_+

"No fair?" Viggo repeated. "Careful..." he caught Dom, but didn't stop the
tickling yet.

_+_+_+_+_+

And half the bath water decided to splash over the side and onto the
bathroom floor as Dom held Viggo's hands still...and giggled like a
school girl.

_+_+_+_+_+

The laughter made Viggo grin, letting Dominic catch his hands, giving in for
now. He leaned forward, stealing a kiss.

"Better?"

_+_+_+_+_+

"Much!" He laughed then returned the kiss, longer though, hotter,
before pulling away, shivering slightly, kneeling in only a few inches
of water.

"I think we better get out..." Dom said simply, standing up and
letting the water drop from his body before turning and putting first
one foot then the other onto the wet floor tiles. "And then I think we
need to find a mop!"

_+_+_+_+_+

"It can wait," Viggo laughed, admiring Dom's body as he moved, liking how
the water looked on his naked flesh.

_+_+_+_+_+

He walked to the towel rail and grabbed a big fluffy one, turning
back to Viggo. "Care to rub me down?" He asked grinning.

_+_+_+_+_+
"No," Viggo said, standing from the water himself. "I have something better
in mind..." He grinned mischievously, stepping out of the tub and leading
Dom by the hand to the bed and pushing him down on his back. Kneeling at
the young man's feet, he began a slow trail up one leg, tongue taking away
the drops of water in its path.
