There was an unpleasant sort of irony about the fact that Ezra was standing in a bar heād once heralded as New Yorkās Number One Biohazard Trap, and was now all too willing to let the man he was kissing shove him to his knees so he could take him in his mouth. He wasnāt sure they actually had enough time for that, although it was probably the inappropriateness of this being Kianās workplace that he should have been focusing on, but the fact is he would. How the mighty have fallen, he could almost hear Hannahās smug voice croon.
And oh, Ezra had most certainly fallen.
He let his head fall back, gently thunking against the door behind him. A soft smile crossed his face as he stared at Kian, no ego in his expression. For once, Ezra was happy to just let himself be without performing for someone.Ā
He liked Kian, so terribly much. And if the other man was being open about the fact that he liked Ezra back, why should either of them bother to hide it in the safety of the keg room. It wasnāt a place he imagined had been witness to declarations like this, what with the strong smell of Guinness wafting up from the barrels and puddles of sticky liquid surrounding their feet. But it was a room that kept them safe from prying eyes and, perhaps for the first time in his life, Ezra wasnāt in the mood to be picky.
āI donāt know,ā Ezra said with a gentleness he wasnāt used to. He reached up to slide Kianās mask from his eyes to his forehead. His touch was⦠Well, embarrassingly, the only word that could really be applied was reverent. āI think your eyes are quite something. When I can see them properly.ā
His cheeks dimpled as he smiled at Kian, leaning in again and stopping just short of the other manās mouth.
āI like you too. An awful lot,ā he confessed before leaning in to kiss him. His hands found Kianās waist again and he tugged him closer, eyes falling shut. Something settled in his chest as he kissed the other man, and he felt a calm that he hadnāt felt since the early days of, ugh, Harry. But this was different. This was good, right?
āI like your frown when you get frustrated with me,ā he muttered, the corners of his mouth tugging upwards as he trailed kisses along Kianās cheek. āAnd how much lip you give Harry. He really doesnāt like you, you know.ā Another kiss to the bridge of Kianās nose. āAnd your accent. We know how much I like the accent.ā
It was downright pathetic, the way the two of them were wrapped up in one another, two sappy bastards reciting all theirĀ favouriteĀ parts of each other. It should have been enoughĀ to cause Kian to spin on his heels and bolt. HeĀ wasnātĀ built for soft declarations,Ā wasnātĀ built to be loved. Not that he was under any delusion that Ezra might love him, of course, but even the milder, more tame reality should have still been enough toĀ setĀ his pulse racing and trigger his singularĀ flightĀ response.Ā
The two had once despised each other, the mere mention or sight of the other enough to raise their hackles ā if you could ignore the obvious, carnal desire that came hand in hand with such loathing. ButĀ now KianĀ couldnātĀ imagine hisĀ days without Ezra dithering about,Ā brattyĀ and altogether too dramatic, but still charming enough to ignite a spark in Kianās chest.Ā He huffed out a quiet laugh as he lifted a hand to nudge his feckless little mask a little higher on his face, pushing his cropped fringe back as theĀ thin sheath of fabric rested against it. He supposed he could allow Ezra the delights of getting to see his eyes now that they were tucked away together, no prying eyes to concern themselves with.Ā
āHowās that for ye?āĀ heĀ murmured, lips parting into a doting smile as he playfully winked at Ezra.Ā
He welcomed the next kiss from Ezra just as greedily as the rest of them, lips parted and tongue gliding against the other manās lower lip. He felt the gentle squeeze ofĀ somethingĀ against his heart as the other man reciprocated hisĀ like, aĀ familiar sensation thatĀ heādĀ been exposed to only one other time in his life. The last time it had ended badly, but thatĀ wouldnātĀ be the case here. They would patch each other up and mend the wounds that other men had inflicted upon them. They hadĀ to, right?Ā
āJust as well Iām always frustrated with you then,ā Kian teased.Ā
ItĀ wasnātĀ entirely untrue. They could bicker for Ireland and America combined, and they did. But there were other frustrations, too. Kian relished the way that Ezra would edge him with just his tongue, stringing him along until he was writhing and groaning against the other manās plush bedsheets and cursing his name. He knew just how to frustrate him in ways that left him begging forĀ more.Ā
āIĀ donātĀ want Harry to like me. I want Harry to hate myĀ feckinā guts while it keeps him up at night knowingĀ itāsĀ me that has you,ā he smirked, sighing sweetly at the press of Ezraās lips against each inch of his face. It wasnāt completely true, given that Kian wasnāt out and Harry was likely one of the last people on planet earth that heād want to know he was gay, but he was giddy and delirious and all manner of sense was lost to him the moment heād felt Ezraās hands pressed to his waist.Ā

@kmcgrath7: I second the motion that you should keep making men feel utterly useless. It's a good look on you, red.
Was Kian even aware of what he had just said?
If the casual way he bypassed acknowledging it was anything to go by, Ezra figured he simply couldnāt be. Surely, he should have noticed the way Ezra himself had been struck dumb into silence though. He was not a quiet man, and to have him rendered so speechless would almost certainly have helped Kian cotton onto something being⦠not wrong, as such. No, definitely wrong. But Ezra was reeling.
Obviously, the two of them liked each other well enough. Ezra was operating under no pretenses here. They were the only person the other was sleeping with and he doubted there were plans to change that soon. Labels, while something Ezra longed for, seemed to have no place in the inner workings of Kianās mind, and so Ezra had allowed that one potential little win to slip away from him. Heād even surprised himself by how eagerly he had handed over control. Shockingly, he hadnāt needed the label of āboyfriendā or āpartnerā or anything else to reassure himself that Kian was perhaps all-in with him. The other manās behaviour had been enough.Ā
But Kian liked him. Had admitted it like it was nothing, as if he were merely commenting on the weather.
Ezra stared at the other man as he walked backwards to the door behind the bar, beckoning Ezra to follow him with a come hither motion that nearly undid him right then and there.
He swallowed roughly, pushing back from the countertop and making his way around the bar. He wasnāt actually sure if there was anyone around to cover for Kian right now, but it wasnāt something he gave any sort of particular fuck about. Not when he was straining against these stupid leggings, and the man he was mad about was telling him he liked him.
He slipped into the keg room after Kian and, as soon as the door was shut behind them, he had the other man pressed up against it.
Ezraās mouth left a trail of blazing kisses over Kianās jaw before he sealed their mouths together. Inhaling through his nose, his hands fit against Kianās hips as he kissed him, deep and slow.
āYou like me?ā he asked, pulling back slightly.Ā
Ezra wasn't asking for confirmation. He knew Kian liked him. He was double checking that Kian knew heād said it out loud, that he was comfortable with Ezra hearing him utter a declaration like that.
There was somethingĀ very sweetĀ and uncharacteristic about the confused look Ezra was currently wearing. Not that it wasĀ totally outĀ of the ordinary for him to look at Kian with any look that belonged on the spectrum anywhere betweenĀ annoyance and bewilderment, of course, but this was different. He seemed surprised by Kianās eagerness, almost tentative even. Something swelled inside the bartenderās chest as heĀ smirked,Ā his gaze heated and filled with lust as he awaited the other manās presence beside him.Ā
The moment Ezra was close enough for the door to swing shut behind him, Kian had the other man pushed up against it. His own pants felt tight as his erection strained against the fabric, but he ignored the throbbing sensation to surge forward and pepper Ezraās jaw with kisses, his teeth dragging indelicately against the other manās stubble. He drew back long enough to take a breath, a delighted laugh spilling from his lips as he felt Ezra return theĀ favour, repaying him kind withĀ kisses of his own before their lips finally met, their tongues gliding against each other. Kian rocked his hips gently at the fell of the other manās hands, enjoying theĀ easy wayĀ the two of them seemed to melt into each otherās touch.Ā
āWhat?ā Kian murmured, the question floating through the air.Ā LikeĀ seemed almost juvenile, but there was truly no other word for how Kian felt right about now. Not one that would do the current state of theirĀ relationshipĀ justice, not one thatĀ didnātĀ feelĀ toĀ heavy and out of place on his tongue.Ā BesottedĀ came to mind,Ā maybe evenĀ smitten. HeĀ wouldnātĀ be caught dead admitting that to Ezra, though,Ā mostly becauseĀ heādĀ never used those words in his life.Ā
Truthfully, admitting so openly that heĀ likedĀ Ezra hadĀ probably beenĀ a great cock up on his end, one heĀ hadnātĀ quite come to terms with. But there was something a little freeing about their current situation, theĀ slither of a mask that guarded Kianās face fromĀ the full view of his punters, his appearance only partially obscured, but enough to fill him with a bizarre amount of confidence. Andrew McGrathĀ wouldnātĀ dream of stepping foot inĀ The Black Dog, but it was still the sort of establishment that welcomed all sorts of patrons.Ā HeādĀ heard his fair share of slurs uttered casually from one customer to another, all while wiping down a bar top or pulling a pint. HeĀ didnātĀ like to invite that sort of trouble into his personal life, no matter how much he was enjoying his time with Ezra. Not now, not after everything.Ā
Tonight, though, he could be anybody he wanted to be.Ā
He gazed back at Ezra, who was now looking at him with a glint in his eye, a glimmer of hope as heĀ sought outĀ confirmation from Kian. He could give him that, even if only for tonight. There was nobody to hide from, not tucked away in the keg room with a pretty manĀ holding him close and keeping him warm.Ā
āIĀ likeĀ you, yeah,ā he breathed, cheeks burning hot. Kian McGrathĀ wasnātĀ prone to blushing, not usually. āI like yourĀ gorgeous little mouth and your ridiculousĀ feckinā smarm and your eyes that areĀ somehowĀ utterly to fuckinā die for despite being the same colour as my own.āĀ

Loathe as he was to admit it, Ezra had terrible, terrible fantasies of Kian being just that ā the jealous type. Not so much because he had plans to rile the other man up by chasing someone else just to see if it would turn Kianās face that delightful shade of purple-red. Really, heād just romanticized the idea of Kian being upset by the threat of losing him. Before, he could only imagine it would be a relief for the other man, as it had been for so many others. Now, things between them had changed, so could he really be blamed if he had briefly daydreamed about Kian getting a little territorial with him?
He didnāt have time to provide Kian with a snappy retort, as the other man was already leaning in and kissing him.
Ezraās eyes fluttered shut, one hand raising from the sticky bartop to slide into Kianās cropped hair. The noise of The Black Dog faded into a static buzz; he was still vaguely aware that there were people around them, but if Kian didnāt care that they could be seen and perceived right now, then Ezra hardly had any qualms about it.
Smiling into the kiss, he parted his lips, his tongue licking into Kianās mouth in a way that had him eager to press himself further against the counter, lest his leggings loudly announce just how affected he was.
āItās quite unfortunate how much I happen to likeā¦ā He trailed off as they pulled apart to breathe. His eyes darted between Kianās and he decided he didnāt want to ruin a good thing with a declaration that might sour Kianās mood, deciding to play it safe.
āKissing you,ā he finished.
Leaning forward again to brush a quick peck against Kianās mouth, he dropped his voice low as his lips skimmed the other manās cheek, reaching the shell of his ear.
āAnd youāre sure you canāt have your way with me in the keg room?ā he asked, chancing his luck.
Kianās first thought when EzraĀ slipped his tongue past his lips was that he was eternally grateful there was a bar separating the two of them. Mask or no mask, heĀ didnātĀ think itĀ madeĀ for good business if patrons wandered in and saw their bartender bricked up to the nines. The second thought he had was that he wished he could do this forever.Ā
TheĀ realisationĀ was like an electric shot to his heart.Ā
KianĀ didnātĀ doĀ relationships. Kian had doneĀ oneĀ relationship ā if you could even call it that ā and it hadĀ hospitalisedĀ him and ended his career. And itĀ wasnātĀ as though he thought Ezra was ever capable of hurting him like that, emotionally or physically, but theĀ truth was far more terrifying than that.Ā In reality, KianĀ knew withoutĀ a shadow of a doubtĀ that he had it in him to hurt Ezra in all the waysĀ heādĀ been trying to protect himself from, and it scared him to no end.Ā
But they were kissing and it was nice, it was safe. Kian had to keep reminding himself that it was safe.Ā HeĀ was safe. There were a million and one things about Ezra that he could choose to flag asĀ unsavouryĀ or unsuited to him, but the taste of his mouth against Kianās and theĀ feel of his fingers in his hairĀ didnātĀ come close. In fact, itĀ was the press of his mouth against the bartenderās cheek that helped to steady his heartrate, to soothe the fresh wave of panic that had threatened to take hold ofĀ him.Ā
āJust as well I like you and I donāt plan to stop then, hm?āĀ heĀ managed to breathe, the words soft as they lingered between the two of them.Ā
Unbeknownst to Kian,Ā heādĀ just plainly handed over an admission so sacred that it might become his very own undoing. OrĀ perhaps itĀ would beĀ the best thing that ever happened to him.Ā
A sound caught in his throat, somewhere between a laugh and a groan, as he shook his head at the posh wankerĀ heādĀ become so endeared by. Now would be the perfect time to pull away and get back to work, butĀ heādĀ always struggled to stay away from Ezra. Even when the two of them had loathed each other completely,Ā theyādĀ still found ways to obsess over one another.Ā
āAh, sure, I suppose the bar can survive a half an hour or so without me, donāt ye think?ā he grinned, finally relenting with a wink before slowly backing away from the bar. His lips melted into a playful smirk as he beckoned the other man over, shouldering the door behind the bar open as he awaited his pretty little thief.Ā
