BARNABY FINCH and ollie morales like this

"Barnaby."[break][break]
He reaches up to thumb the other man's cheek. Sapphire eyes gaze down at him, twin flames - to Caleb, they have always burned cold, like shadow instead of fire. Hypnotic.[break][break]
He lays on his back in a familiar bed, in a penthouse he can't stay away from, in a city he never visits except for the sole purpose of being with BARNABY FINCH. He crawls here in the dead of night, away from prying eyes, begging to be bruised by unrequited love until he is sore from the heartbreak of it. Always, he returns to the embrace of a man who's villainy runs deep; like the Tera Crystals that coat the cavern walls of Area Zero, Barnaby's criminal record is covered in a crystalline beauty, hiding the dangers within.[break][break]
"I need you to do something for me."[break][break]
He is less likely to control the whims of this man than he is the most feral of dragons. But it isn't a demand, merely a softly spoken request, spilled from lips that have only just pulled away from hungrily kissing the journalist's neck.

Their intimacy could have been mistaken for a lover's embrace, intertwined as they were in a halo of moonlight and satin sheets — if BARNABY FINCH hadn't merely been tolerating Caleb Harcourt's existence at the moment. [break][break]

He'd come, as he always did, in the dead of night to disrupt Barnaby's meager amount of sleep. Pawed at him like a desperate dog, eager for attention he did not deserve. It was a routine they'd acted out many times now.[break][break]

But Barnaby played his part well, as he'd promised he would. Capitulated to Caleb's desires, performed for him in all the ways he asked. [break][break]

He was lucky to receive such magnanimity. With his patron's blessings, BARNABY FINCH could have easily compelled Caleb Harcourt to destroy the evidence he'd used to blackmail him. It was only by his mercy that the ranger remained alive — and only then because he'd proven himself useful, given his connections in the League. Barnaby really could have his cake and eat it too.[break][break]

For now, Caleb was allowed to indulge in a way no others were.[break][break]

"Mm?" Feeling the thumb stoking his cheek, Barnaby leaned into the touch and briefly closed his eyes, but they fluttered open again when Caleb pulled away.[break][break]

With his fingers braced against the other's chest, he languidly moved to straddle his waist, leaning back slightly to better look at the man beneath him. [break][break]

"What is it?" Barnaby asked softly, voice still thick with sleep, thinking it was just one of Caleb Harcourt's usual venereal requests.

"Don't go to war."[break][break]
It's an impossible ask. He knows that Barnaby is a high-ranking Rocket, a man who answers to the Underbosses above him. And he knows that all of Rocket has to contend with the non-negotiable orders of declan walsh, or suffer terrible consequences. Caleb himself lived that life once, at the beck and call of Kanto's tyrants.[break][break]
His hand cups the Admin's cheek, then wanders down to the curve of his jaw. Light fingers dance across a throat he's bruised a hundred times, in this lifetime and another.[break][break]
He has no delusions that he, alone, can convince Barnaby to defect from Rocket. And in any case, the sentiment beneath his words isn't really about loyalties.[break][break]
It is about upsetting a delicate balance. It is about the loss of something precious.[break][break]
"Or, if you must, stay away from Sootopolis."

War. The thought pushed sleep from his mind entirely. [break][break]

How could he ask for such an impossibility? [break][break]

A softness came over BARNABY FINCH as he looked down at his lover. He pitied the man, in a way. So in love, so entangled by his own emotions that logic rarely won out. [break][break]

Somehow, during this twilight hour, it was an endearing thing. Something to be protected.[break][break]

"If I could run away with you and leave this war behind," A hand crept up to cover Caleb Harcourt's own, guiding it to rest over his heart. "I would." [break][break]

Barnaby's grip tightened as the next words left his lips. [break][break]

"...but you know I can't, Caleb."

In the low light, entangled as they are, Caleb thinks he sees it: a glimmer of real affection, faceted in sapphire. Barnaby's hand layers on top of his, and his words are honeyed with romance - too good to be true - and Caleb ought to know better but he isn't in the business of knowing anything when he's with Barnaby: his heart held captive in a prison where logic cannot follow.[break][break]
A squeeze. A truth. An inevitability.[break][break]
Caleb leans in, and bares his teeth against Barnaby's neck.[break][break]
"I'm not asking you to run away with me." Lips move across smooth skin, ripe for biting. "I just don't want to - " [break][break]
- lose you, he thinks, of a man he knows has never truly been his to lose. If anything, it has always been (and always will be) the other way around: Barnaby's possession of Caleb, the leash wound tightly around his wrist.[break][break]
" - have to hurt you."[break][break]
It's a selfish ask. And while it's not a wholehearted betrayal of his promise to fight for Freya's city, it makes him something of a hypocrite. He is a compromised man, and he does nothing to remedy it.[break][break]

As if you could ever hurt me, Barnaby thought to himself, mildly indignant. [break][break]

It was a preposterous notion, to be sure — but he understood the sentiment behind Caleb Harcourt's request. It was said out of care and devotion and wild, illogical love. Peppered in longing kisses, punctuated by the rake of teeth across skin.[break][break]

"You're sweet, you know." BARNABY FINCH commented softly in Caleb's ear, wrapping his arms around the other man's broad shoulders before adding with a teasing warmth, "When you want to be."[break][break]

He was fully awake now and susceptible to all the ways Caleb was expressing his desires: the bites bloomed muted pink against the moonlight and the press of lips sent chills down his back.[break][break]

"We both have a duty to fulfill..." There was no avoiding it for either of them. Both were too entangled in their respective organizations.[break][break]

"...so, let's just agree to stay out of each other's way, hm?" A counter request, accented by the needy press of his hips against Caleb's stomach.
