Fic : Sean B/Orlando
Title : Insurmountable - A love story in four drabbles.
Pairing : Sean B/Orlando
Rating : PG13
Disclaimer : This is made up, not for profit, no offence is meant.
Author’s Note : I got attacked by a Sean/Orli plot bunny, I was **trying** to write Dave/Sean but, well, this happened.
Warnings : Angst (Will I ever write happy fic?)
Feedback : Please in a gets down on knees kind of way.
Insurmountable
The climb is hard. He thinks of a helicopter overhead and is glad of the burn. It blinds him to Orlando soaring above.
Sean likes the analogy. It’s been an uphill struggle, this attraction, and always, always, has Orli floated effortlessly just out of reach.
He remembers Orlando’s arms around him in Moria. How they cradled his chest, and pulled him close against an erratic heart beat. He recalls the lithe body that broke his fall, splayed invitingly behind him.
He has committed to memory the brush of lips against his hair.
Sean doesn’t know if he can make it.
***
Until he reaches the top.
At the summit, everything comes into focus. The view below him is breathtaking. He takes a moment to survey what is spread out before him.
There are acres of smooth, brown skin. Untouched, Sean thinks.
He sees chocolate eyes follow every nuance of his hands, and every lash of his tongue. He is insignificant here yet he sees everything.
This pinnacle, in this moment, is perfection.
He feels the breath against his ear and the accompanying sigh. It is the sound of the wind. Sean is breathless, dizzy, and he blames it on the altitude.
***
When the world tilts and he falls, Sean barely notices. He feels the plummeting sensation in the pit of his belly but rejoices that there can be no return.
There have been men before but not like this.
In the moments when they are weightless he tells Orlando that he loves him.
The look on Orli’s face as they fall ever further into one another is captivating. Sean is struck dumb by the abandonment he sees.
There is mist here and it is damp and cold but Sean pays it no heed until it becomes harder to see Orli’s face.
***
He relies on Orli to guide him.
For Sean, there is no longer any top or bottom there is only ‘yes’. He cannot determine his direction or if Orli is above or below him.
He denies Orli nothing.
The force of the descent lessens Sean to someone unrecognisable. Orli, who sometimes lingers in the circle of his embrace, is only more - everything.
For a while, Sean believes that he floats as naturally as Orlando does.
When he shatters upon hitting the ground Orli smiles down at him.
Orlando floats effortlessly out of reach. He drifts, waiting for the next breeze.

(an aside) when I was in New Zealand I saw the place where Sean refused to ride the helicopters too, and it's a very steep climb. But after seeing how sorta cavalier their pilots are about certain flying matters I think I can sympathize a bit more with his fear, especially since that was during winter.

(an aside backatca) - Was that in Queenstown? I am in NZ at the minute but wasn't sure where that bit was. Have been to Bag End tho!! :)
