Chapter 4:

Martin didn't find this idea at all appealing. He was supposed to leave his future... okay possibly future happiness up to Sam and Viv. Not that he didn't trust the both of them immensely, but it wasn't like he couldn't take matters into his own hands.

And okay it had taken him awhile and some alcohol for him to even admit that he wanted Danny that way, but that was the easy part. That was the part that would have been hard if he hadn't already done it.

The day was thankfully quiet. He was still stuck in the office riding a desk, but he was pretty grateful to just go over financial records rather than out in the field where he could have possibly been paired up with Danny and that awkwardness was not something he wanted at the present time.

Instead Danny was paired up with Jack and Viv and Sam along with Elena were somewhere else. Apparently Viv had talked Jack into letting her go out in the field. Martin could only guess that Sam had asked Jack to work with Viv and Jack had complied. Either that or it was really bad luck... or good luck. Martin would judge that by the end of the day.

For the most part, Martin was happy to get the day to himself with nothing to keep him company besides a bunch of bank statements. That is of course until Sam, Viv and Elena get back from their little mission to wherever it was Jack sent them.

"Hey Martin. Anything in those bank receipts interesting?" Sam asked.

"Hmmm... sort of. I think this is going to be another John Wilkins." Martin said blandly.

"Who's John Wilkins?" Elena asked.

Martin remembered when he was the one asking those questions. It's almost nice to have someone else ask, but then Martin remembered that he didn't like the new girl all that much.

"Old case we were working. Guy had about five different girlfriends and a wife with a kid. Just disappeared one day. We found him sipping margaritas in Florida." Viv said.

"So what would led you to believe that our vic is like him?" Elena asked.

Martin adopted his 'well duh' look and could barely keep from rolling his eyes.

"Other than the fact that he's got charges for Victoria's Secret and various hotel rooms... well the two plane tickets to Paris could have tipped me off." Martin said dryly.

Elena looked a bit affronted, but didn't say anything as she walked back to her desk. Sam and Viv stared at him with weird looks.

"What? It was a stupid question." Martin said.

"Yes, who cares, now about Danny..." Sam started.

Martin blanched. He hadn't really thought that Sam was going to actually talk to Viv, but here the two of them were talking about the situation like it was an everyday occurrence.

"What about Danny?" Martin asked.

"Now before we go any further with this I need to know without a shadow of a doubt that you actually want to be with Danny." Viv asked.

"What?" Martin said.

"Martin just say yes so we can get this over with." Sam said impatiently.

Martin looked from Viv to Sam back to Viv again. He was so screwed. If he said no both would be pissed at him, but if he said yes... they were definitely going to try and orchestrate something big.

"Fine, yes, yes alright. I wanna be with Danny. Are you happy?" Martin said.

"Good, good. This is good because Danny definitely wants to be with you. Now here's what we're going to do. Since this case seems like a dud, I'm going to ask Jack to give you and Danny the rest of the day off." Viv said.

"But won't Jack be suspicious if..."

"Martin, don't worry about it. Even if Jack is suspicious, it's not like it's against the rules or anything." Sam said.

Well you would have first had knowledge of that wouldn't you. Martin thought to himself. He would never say it out loud though. He liked Sam a lot. She was his friend. And she could be pretty scary when she wanted to be.

"Then, when I've secured the day off for you guys, you'll take him to lunch." Viv said.

"And then you to will talk and hopefully me and Viv won't have to go with you in order to get things started." Sam said.

"This is crazy you know." Martin said.

"No it's not. It's perfectly sane. Look don't make us have to lock you both in a broom closet." Viv said.

Martin looked from Viv to Sam to Viv again.

"That's it. I just... ask him to lunch?"

"Yeah, that's all. You just ask him to lunch. Of course then you have to take him to lunch." Sam said.

"And it couldn't hurt to you know... maybe... invite him back to your place." Viv said overly innocent look on her face.

"What?"

"Martin, come on. I mean it only seems natural." Sam said.

"But... but isn't that a little too... fast?"

"Martin you guys have had four years of foreplay. If you and Danny have sex on the first date it's not a big deal." Viv said.

"Yes, yes it is a big deal. It's the first date." Martin said.

He liked the lunch part of the plan. That was easy. He just had to ask Danny to lunch and then talk. It wasn't like that hadn't had lunch together before. But that was before. This was now. This was after he'd admitted to Danny that he wanted to have sex with him.

"Martin if you're not comfortable with the thought of having sex with Danny on the first date then you don't have to have sex with Danny on the first date." Sam said.

"No, you know what I'm uncomfortable with. I'm uncomfortable discussing my sex life in front of you two." Martin said petulantly.

"Whatever, as long as you take Danny out and you two get this whole thing sorted out. I'm sick of Danny looking at you with puppy dog eyes." Viv said sighing and giving Martin her 'please tell me you're not really that stupid' face.

"Fine. I'll ask him to lunch."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Martin couldn't ever remember being this nervous in all his life. Couldn't remember the last time he felt like vomiting because of nerves. It seemed ridiculous that Martin felt like he was teenager again because of Danny.

Viv was going up to Jack right at this moment. Martin could see her talking with Jack in his office. He could see Jack look puzzled and then start shaking his head. Viv folded her arms across her chest and glared at him. Jack still looked confused, but Martin watched as he sighed and shook his head yes. Martin gulped.

Sam came up to him, bright smile on her face and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Jack said yes. Go ask him." She whispered to him and moved out of his way.

Danny was sitting at his desk playing some sort of computer game that looked an awful lot like bowling. Martin took a deep breath and got out of his seat. He walked over to Danny's desk and cleared his throat.

"Oh, hey Martin." Danny said his voice a little nervous sounding.

"Hey, Danny. Um... I was... I mean what I'm saying is... um... you know last night... I'm... you know... sorry for getting drunk." Martin stuttered.

He could feel Sam and Viv's eyes boring holes into his back.

"Oh, it's okay Fitz. You didn't mean to get drunk. Stress of the job can get to you like that." Danny said flippantly.

"Yeah, stress of the job. Um... I was wondering... Jack gave me the rest of the day off and it looks like you're not doing anything. Would you... um... you wanna grab something to eat. I promise not to get drunk again." Martin said letting out a nervous laugh.

Danny smiled a bit serenely at him and looked over at the clock on his computer.

"I guess I can get some lunch. I mean today is really boring. Why'd Jack give you the rest of the day off?" Danny asked as he sat up from his chair.

He grabbed his jacket from the back of his seat and put it on. Martin nervously tried to think up some sort of an excuse that Danny would buy.

"You're not... I mean you're feeling okay right? Nothing's hurting you or anything?" Danny asked.

Martin could hear the worried tone in Danny's voice and it calmed him for some really weird reason. Danny was worried about him. Danny was often worried about him. That was normal.

"No, no nothing like that. It's just, you know Jack being Jack. He made Viv ride desk duty even when she didn't need to. He's just looking out for the team. And normally I would have told him no and argued, but I figured today's really boring anyway and everyone's kind of zoning out. Seems kind of ridiculous to stay."

"Yeah I know. I've only experienced like three days in my entire time working here when everything wasn't fast pace." Danny said smiling at Martin.

"Yeah, it's usually not like this. It's kind of weird." Martin replied.

"So, Fitzie, where are you taking me?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So here's your bill." The waitress said.

She smiled a beautiful smile in Danny's direction and of course it was in Danny's direction. Martin had been out to enough lunches and late night dinners in crappy diners to know that all the waitress smiled at Danny.

They hadn't talked at least not about anything important. They talked about work related stuff. Danny talked about how he'd gone over to Sylvia's recently to visit her and the baby and Nicky. He talked about how he'd gone to visit Rafi who was doing better, but not totally well. He talked various sports games he'd watched lately.

Martin listened to Danny talk because listening to Danny talk always turned to watching Danny talked. Danny talked with his hands a lot and Martin liked to watch that. Liked to see Danny's face light up because he was talking about something he was passionate about.

Danny had felt like he was taking up all the time so he started to ask Martin questions. Martin talked. He mostly bitched about physical therapy. He talked about how his parents had been around and how not fun that was. He talked about the new stuff he learned about his sister and her family, which was boring and inconsequential.

"I'll get it. After all it was my idea to go out to lunch." Martin said grabbing the bill.

Danny smiled at him and raised his hands in surrender.

"Whatever you want, Fitzie." Danny said with a smile.

Martin handed the girl his card and she smiled, again it directed at Danny and took off with Martin's card.

"So... is there any reason why you wanted to..."

"You know what... I need to go to the bathroom." Martin said grabbing his cane.

He wobbled off as fast as he could to the men's bathroom all the while cursing himself for his stupidity. It was at that moment in the lunch when Danny was going to want to know what the whole lunch was about and Martin couldn't pull himself together enough to start that conversation.

Martin got to the sink and put both hands on it using it for leverage. His cane fell to the floor with a satisfying whack and Martin couldn't bring himself to care that it was going to be torture trying to pick that stupid thing back up.

He sprayed his face with sink water, his breathing a little harsher than he would have liked. It had been a long time since Martin had a panic attack, but he remembered enough to know that they weren't fun. In fact they were terrible. They were the worst thing Martin had experienced in his life.

So he tried to calm his breathing. When that didn't work, he sprayed his face with water again using the back of his suit jacket to wipe off the water even though it was most likely going to ruin his suit. He tried to talk himself down in his mind, but that was proving to be difficult too.

Just when he was almost calm, Martin heard the bathroom door open. He looked in the mirror and saw Danny standing behind him a look of total worry on his face.

"Danny what are you doing in here?" Martin asked turning around to look Danny in the face his hands still firmly on the sink.

"This is the men's bathroom Martin. I mean it's not like it's private property. Besides you've been in here for like eight minutes. I know you said that there wasn't anything wrong with you, but I wasn't going to take my chances." Danny said.

Martin nodded.

"You dropped your cane." Danny said.

Martin watched as he walked over and kneeled down to get Martin's cane. Danny handed it to him and Martin nodded again and watched as Danny took a few steps backward.

"Really I'm fine, it's just... you know things are a little... stressful right now. And you know last night..."

"Oh, this is about last night. Look Martin I know that you were drunk off your ass. You said things you shouldn't be accountable for." Danny said.

He was giving Martin an out. They could go on pretending Martin hadn't ever opened his mouth. They could just pretend the whole thing never happened and live in a totally tense situation never acknowledging any of it, but being ignorant. They said ignorance was bliss.

"What if I... what if I want to be held accountable for it?" Martin asked.

Martin watched as Danny took on a confused look eyes going a little wide as he tried to figure out what Martin meant.

"Are you saying..."

"I'm saying that I meant it. I... um... I think about you... a lot more than I should and it's not always in a friendly way. So, I meant what I said last night... about the... you know... thing." Martin finished awkwardly.

Danny still looked confused. It seemed as though he were stunned silent.

"But you know I'd understand if you didn't want to... you know... with me anyway. I'm... I mean I never gave you an indication that I wanted to. And I know you're probably wondering about... no wait I told you about Sam last night. Anyway I just... I wanted you to know that even though I want to doesn't mean that..."

Martin was cut off by Danny's lips. Danny's soft moist lips that were kissing him and Martin hadn't even seen Danny move from where he was standing a few feet away from him. Not that he even really cared because... wow... Danny was kissing him and it was so much better than he had ever imagined because Danny knew how to kiss.

Cause it wasn't just kissing for Danny. No, Danny didn't just kiss and somewhere in the back of Martin's brain he had figured that. When Danny kissed he threw all of himself into it hands caressing Martin's sides and hips grinding against Martin's and Martin knew if Danny didn't stop soon things were going to get a little too hot for a public setting.

So Martin broke away from the kiss and he could have sworn he heard Danny whimper because Danny was persistent. Even with Martin's lips away Danny still went about kissing. No piece of Martin's skin was safe... not that Martin even wanted it to be. Danny kissed his chin and sucked on his earlobe and licked at the available skin on Martin's neck that wasn't hidden by his collared shirt.

Danny's hands were placed firmly on Martin's hips and Danny was grinding himself against him, pushing Martin's hips against himself and Martin couldn't help groaning. Part of his brain didn't even care that they were in a public bathroom.

Well... just part of it.

"Danny... oh god... Danny we can't... we can't do this here." Martin gasped out.

Danny pulled away from Martin's neck long enough to reply back.

"Not a lot of time here, Fitzie. I gotta be back at work in fifteen minutes so excuse me if I'm taking some liberties." He said and went back to kissing Martin's neck.

Martin could feel his eyes roll to the back of his head. He couldn't even stop himself from grabbing the back of Danny's head, fingers running through the soft hair as he pushed Danny closer to him.

"What if... what if I told you that you got the day off too?" Martin asked his voice breathy and soft.

Danny stopped nipping at Martin's neck and looked up at him.

"You telling me you planned this all out? What were you gonna do... take me to lunch and then invite me back to your place?"

Martin blushed.

"That was Viv and Sam's idea. I was thinking more along the lines of lunch and talking... maybe a tentative time on another date. Certainly wasn't thinking that... fast." Martin said.

"Wait... Sam and Viv helped you set this up?"

"Who do you think got us the day off? I don't really hold that much clout with Jack, Danny."

"So Viv... strong armed him?"

"I guess. I don't know what she told him. I mean she could have told him anything... oh my god she could have told him anything! She could have told him why we needed the day off. My boss could know that at the very moment I'm on a date with you." Martin said panic starting to set in.

"He's my boss too. And besides Viv wouldn't do that... at least I don't think."

Martin closed his eyes and tried to breathe. It wasn't like he cared what Jack thought and besides Jack seemed to be really open minded about a lot of things. Martin didn't think it would be a big deal, but he didn't want to get Jack in the middle if Victor ever found out.

"You're worrying too much." Danny whispered into his ear.

Martin sighed.

"You would be too if you were smart."

"What so now I'm not smart, Fitzie." Danny said with a look of mock hurt on his face.

Martin rolled his eyes and let out a huge sigh.

"You're smart Danny, but this... if things go wrong..."

"What could go wrong?"

"Lots of things Danny. A whole big field of things could go wrong and I'm not just talking about with us. I'm talking about with my dad."

"Oh, right... he's gonna freak?" Danny asked.

"I don't know for sure." Martin said.

"Well... why don't we cross that bridge when we get there.

Martin looked doubtful. He'd dealt with Victor before and when dealing with Victor it was always nice to have a game plan. Some sort of strategic move plan that could map out your every course. Then you'd have to follow it and execute it flawlessly.

"This is something you want right. Something you've wanted for awhile."

Martin shook his head.

"And this is something I've wanted since before I even knew I wanted it. I'm willing to take the risk if you are."

It shocked him a little more than it should have. Someone was actually willing to risk something that was probably huge just for him. Someone was willing to make the effort and Martin was amazed by that. He couldn't remember a time when someone was just able to say they'd give up something huge to make him happy.

"I'm willing." Martin said in a small voice.

And of course it was worth it because now Danny was smiling at him. He was smiling that smile that lit up various room and Martin couldn't help it if he melted a little inside just at the look on Danny's face.

"Good. Now I think there are some wishes of yours that need fulfilling."

"Oh really... like what."

"I think you said something about wanting me to fuck you. That you've been waiting three years for it. That's an awful long time to wait for something you want." Danny said.

Martin hadn't heard that voice before. That voice was the voice of sex and lust and all sorts of naughty promises. It was rough and seductive and it mad Martin's skin tingle and it made Martin moan just a little bit because he never thought he'd hear that voice directed at him.

Danny was draping himself on Martin again, hips pushing against hips and Martin could feel just how hard Danny was for him. Martin thought it was almost as hard as Martin was for him. And when Danny pushed his suit-pant covered erection against Martin's it took all of Martin's willpower not to cum in his pants.

"So do you want it?" Danny whispered again in the same voice.

"Hell yeah I want it."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

If anyone had asked Martin how he had gotten home that day he wouldn't honestly be able to tell them his brain to hazed up to even remember a simple detail like how drove. Martin was pretty sure it was his car they drove, but he couldn't be too sure.

They hadn't even ended up at Martin's apartment, which led Martin to believe that Danny had done the driving. Getting to Danny's apartment had been a trail of sloppy kisses and quick gropes and Martin didn't even notice the looks he was getting from the rest of the people in Danny's apartment building.

Things didn't even seem to register in Martin's brain when Danny was hurriedly opening the door to his apartment, hands trying to stay in contact with Martin's body. When he did manage to open the door Martin wanted to let out a cry of triumph, but that cry was soon swallowed in Danny's persistent mouth.

They'd lost some clothes along the way to wherever it was Danny was steering them. Things made all that much harder when Martin realized he still needed the cane and that Danny had discarded it along with Martin's shoes. Not that that deterred Danny who simply picked Martin up and carried him to the couch.

Danny's couches were soft and comfortable and suede like and Martin couldn't help but feel a little envious because they were comfortable and Martin's mother had insisted on leather which wasn't all that comfortable. Danny moved on top of Martin sliding into the space between Martin's open legs.

Martin felt as Danny started unbuttoning his shirt felt as Danny started to kiss and lick a suck every available piece of skin when Martin's shirt was open and his chest exposed. Danny traced a line down Martin's chest playing slightly with Martin's belly button. He yanked off Martin's belt and threw it somewhere.

He started to pull off Martin's pants and got about as far as one leg off before Martin pulled Danny up to him and started to unbutton Danny's shirt his jacket getting lost somewhere during their journey to the couch.

When Martin got Danny's shirt unbutton he stared. Stared at that wonderfully bronzed chest lightly muscled, but muscled. Stared and Danny's face eyes wide and dark with lost. Lips kiss swollen and glossy looking. Face sort of flushed and Martin never saw anything as hot as Danny.

Martin was vaguely aware somewhere in the back of his mind that his pants were only slightly shucked off and his shirt was unbutton and he still had on his jacket. His tie seemed to be the only thing that he'd lost in the whole thing. Even his socks were still on.

Not that it seemed to matter to Danny who was sans pants and suit jacket, but still had on his shirt, a few buttons open and his tie loosened. Because Danny... Danny was slicking up his fingers with lube that seemed to just appear. Martin would have teased Danny about that if it wasn't for Danny's fingers brushing against his entrance and Martin felt himself pushing himself onto Danny's fingers.

And suddenly Danny's fingers were inside of him, pushing and stretching and Martin could feel his eyes roll into the back of his head again as he pushed back. Danny wasn't going slow, in fact Danny was going the total opposite of slow and Martin loved it. Wanted Danny to be inside him soon because he couldn't... wouldn't last at this rate.

"Fuck... we need a condom." Danny said and he started to pull away.

Martin wasn't sure what compelled him to do it, but he pulled Danny down to him using Danny's tie and meshed their mouths together again. Martin could feel their bare chests touching and even though they were still wearing clothes it was still nice to have skin to skin contact. Danny tensed for a moment before falling into the kiss and Martin smiled slightly.

"Fuck the condom."

"But Martin..."

"Danny we're both clean. I know for a fact I'm clean because I haven't had sex in the last four months and that was with someone who I also knew was clean and we always used condoms."

"Just four huh." Danny said hands caressing Martin in an absent way that Martin thought Danny didn't even know about.

"It's been longer for you?"

"Just a little bit."

"Then why are we wasting time talking?" Martin asked.

Danny didn't seem to have an answer for that. Martin watched as he grabbed the lube and started to spread some on his cock and Martin watched fascination. Watched as Danny touched himself, hard cock disappearing in Danny's fist and then reappearing and Martin couldn't help but stare with a glazed expression because that same cock was going to be inside him and Martin couldn't wait.

"Danny... come on already..." Martin said a little breathy.

Danny smiled down at him and Martin felt his legs being wrapped around Danny's waist. Felt the head of Danny's cock brush against his entrance and then Danny just pushed inside of him, not slow and gentle, but hard and demanding and Martin let out a choked off moan.

Part of Martin registered this was exactly what he wanted and having sex with Danny was better than he could ever imagine. And the fast pace that they were setting between them, Danny thrusting hard and deep and Martin meeting his thrust with his own, was just what Martin needed and if the look on Danny's face and the words he was whispering were anything to go by it was what Danny needed too.

Nor did the fact that they were still partially dressed or that they were on Danny's couch instead of his bed or that the fact that their first time having sex was frenzied and there was little to no talking involved at all.

Because they were having sex and it was better than Martin expected. Better than he had ever allowed himself to dream and he'd dreamed a lot. Danny's hands were all over him, his cock hitting Martin's prostate with every thrust and he was making the best noises. Noises that Martin answered with a few of his own and when Danny's hand went to stroke Martin's cock, Martin made a few more interesting noises.

Martin pulled on Danny's tie and fused their mouths together again, Danny's thrusts getting more erratic but never slow on pace. Martin let go of Danny's tie his hands sliding underneath Danny's shirt as Martin tried to pull him closer and he just couldn't get close enough.

Danny pulled away from Martin's lips and started kissing and nibbling and licking at Martin's neck. Martin could feel his skin tingling and before Martin knew it he was coming hard and fast and totally unexpected. Danny made a weird sound that between a gasp and a moan and scream, thrust deep inside Martin a few more times before he was coming as well collapsing down on Martin who's breathing was erratic and heavy.

Scattered minutes went by before either one of them talked.

"You know Danny... you're kind of heavy." Martin said.

"Oh god... I'm... I'm sorry Martin." Danny said his eyes widening as he moved off of Martin.

Martin never thought someone could move that fast after sex.

"Did I hurt you? I mean we dropped your cane... somewhere back there. Are you even allowed to have sex?"

"Yes!" Martin said his eyes going a bit wide too.

"I just... I mean..." Danny said and Martin knew if he could trace the path Danny's eyes were taking they'd lead to Martin's gun shot scars.

"Danny do you really think if I wasn't able to have sex that I would just disregard my health like that?"

"Well you did go on the drinking binge even though you were supposed to be on pain killers. And besides I can be... persuasive." Danny said with a smirk.

Martin rolled his eyes.

"Danny it's fine... I'm fine. Everything is perfectly fine. Now come here." Martin said.

Danny smiled and slid behind Martin on the couch. They both laid on their sides spooning Danny's arm thrown over Martin's waist. Martin could feel himself being lulled to sleep in a post coital haze.

"Danny."

"Yes Martin."

"Next time... can we try this without our clothes on."

Martin knew if he was looking at Danny's face he'd see a bit smile on his face and that made Martin smile.

"Sure Martin."
