Barry yawns as he clocks out at the end of another long shift. Even with his metabolism and regeneration, the long hours are beginning to wear on him, but it isn't his home and his bed that Barry heads for as he leaves the station. It feels like ages since he's been able to spend more than a few minutes with Derek, and even if all he has the energy for tonight is to curl up on top of him and sleep, Barry will take it.

But Derek isn't at Semele's, and he isn't at his apartment when Barry speeds there next. That must mean he's at the cabin, and Barry runs nearly all the way there, stopping when he's about a half mile out. The moon is huge and full and the forest all but glowing with it, and the view is nice enough that Barry decides to take the rest of the journey at normal speed so he can enjoy it.

He buries a yawn behind his forearm and tucks his hands into his pockets, feeling a little restored by the clear, night air.

As much as Derek wanted to keep Barry riding the edge, he can't deny the sweet sound of his pleading. It sounds so desperate and needy and Derek keens, biting the edge of Barry's jaw before rolling back onto his side. He holds Barry tight against him and slides one hand down to wrap around his cock, stroking in time with his thrusts as he sucks a mark into Barry's neck.

"Come for me, Barry," Derek rasps out, belly tightening as his own orgasm draws near. "I want to feel it."

[thescarletspeedster]

Barry whines as Derek moves them, suddenly fearful that Derek's going to make good on his teasing and stop, but then his hand wraps blessedly around Barry's cock. "Thank you," Barry gasps, "God, yes, just like that," as Derek strips him, his hips moving in time against that place inside him and Barry's out of his mind, his every nerve drawn tight and ready to snap.

Derek rumbles in his ear, and Barry's nearly past comprehending but the missive is clear. He looks down at the tangle of their legs, at his own straining cock disappearing into Derek's broad hand and he's gone, a broken scream on his lips as Derek wrings a second orgasm from him, nearly taking all conscious thought with it.

[triskehale]

Derek can't seem to blink as he stares at Barry, first at the side of his face and then down at his cock. He watches as Barry comes, making a mess of his belly and Derek's fist as he clenches down around Derek's cock. After that, he can't hold back. Another orgasm overtakes him and he whimpers, holding onto Barry tightly as it rockets through him.

He isn't sure how much time passes before he's capable of thought again, and once he's able to move he lets go of Barry's cock and slides a hand up his belly, through the mess of his come. He's panting as he collapses back into the grass, laughing breathlessly as he holds onto Barry tightly and kisses the side of his neck.

"Fuck, you are actually a succubus," he breathes out. "A literal sex demon."

[thescarletspeedster]

"Rude," Barry murmurs, black spots still dancing in his vision. His body is lax despite the tremors still running through him, sprawled against both Derek and the ground. "I just came over to eat."

He turns his head to blink sleepily at Derek and smiles. "It's not my fault I'm so huntable."

[triskehale]

"Mm, well I'll have to feed you now," Derek replies, smiling when Barry looks at him. He slides his fingertips gently along his cheek and pulls him in for a soft kiss, a stark contrast to just how rough and frantic everything else has been. "I had fun hunting you. We should make it a full moon tradition."

His cabin isn't far and his kitchen is very well stocked, considering how hungry he gets during the full moon and how hungry Barry is always. He knows that they'll have to get up eventually but right now, still buried inside Barry and curled up with him under the low hanging moon, he feels content. The blood in his veins is finally calm, and he lets out a soft growl before kissing Barry again.

Derek told himself that he would never let a person be his anchor again, but he's pretty sure that Barry is a at least part of it now. There's now way that he would feel so dazed and content right now if he weren't. "I-- I'm really glad that you came out here."

[thescarletspeedster]

Derek kisses him so sweetly, and Barry feels himself melt into it, his eyes closed as Derek growls and kisses him again. His cock is still inside him, hard but no longer insistent, and Barry feels the warm, almost painful feeling in his chest grow.

"Me too," he says and opens his eyes to stare at Derek. Framed in the leaves overhead and the moon above, he's beautiful, and Barry wonders if Derek can smell it on him, the words stuck in his throat. "Derek." Barry swallows, nerves spiking suddenly in his stomach.

[triskehale]

Barry's eyes flutter open and even in the dark, Derek can make out the sea of colors in them. He could stare at Barry for hours, he thinks, and never get bored. He's almost content to do just that, but then Barry's heart speeds up. His happy scent turns slightly bitter with nerves and Derek knits his brow, cupping Barry's cheek as he props himself up on his other elbow.

"What's wrong, hummingbird?" He asks, thumbing Derek's cheek. He wonders if maybe all of this really was too much, now that Barry has had time to process.

[thescarletspeedster]

Derek's expression falls, and Barry opens his mouth, his anxiety suddenly doubling. He'd loved Iris with all his heart, but he didn't resent her, not then or now for not being able to love him the same way. He wouldn't have his powers if it weren't for the circumstances that brought Eddie into her life, and even more than that, Barry respects her choices. If she couldn't see him as more than her brother, then that was all there was for it, but it doesn't mean that putting himself out there again isn't a little terrifying. He never thought he could feel the way he felt about her for anyone again, but here he is.

Barry is completely naked under the open sky, and he hasn't truly felt it until this moment. "I just - " he says, clinging to the slide of Derek's thumb against his cheek. "I love you."

[triskehale]

He has no idea why Barry suddenly seems so close to panicking, and he's close to pulling out of him and sitting up, but it's the look on Barry's face that stops him. It's the way his mouth falls open, and the way his eyes go bright and shining. Derek is breathless suddenly, and that's before Barry even speaks.

The words make Derek's hearing white out for a moment, and there's a buzz between his ears that makes him dizzy. He knew that Barry cared for him, but the thought that Barry might love him never even entered his mind. Maybe because he never thought anyone could love him, not like that.

But maybe he was wrong. Barry said it, and his heart stayed steady, unwavering. Derek's throat goes tight, eyes shining as he swallows against the sudden lump in his throat. His mouth opens and closes once, twice, and then a third time before he suddenly smiles. When he thinks about it, there's only one response to give. He never let his brain go there, but now he does and he feels it all the way through his body, warm and tingling, terrifying and real.

"I love you too," he says quietly, and the words feel foreign on his tongue. It's been so long since he's said them, and even then it was only to family. He leans in to press his forehead to Barry's, sliding their noses together in a soft nuzzle. His heart feels like it's about to burst out of his chest, and he lets out a trembling breath against Barry's mouth.

[thescarletspeedster]

Derek seems as caught as Barry feels, and he watches his mouth open and close as if in slow motion, not in the Speedforce but pinned all the same. For a moment Barry wants to run, not from Derek but from himself, but Derek's mouth opens again, echoing Barry's own words back to him.

"You do?" he asks, but he doesn't need to look further than Derek's broad smile to know that it's the truth. Jesus, Derek loves him. Barry laughs, short and bright and happy, and cups Derek's cheeks, bringing their mouths into alignment. "We should eat," he tells Derek before he kisses him. "Sandwiches or burgers or whatever you've got." He laughs again, giddy but so far past the point of caring. "It's gonna be a long night."

[triskehale]

"Yeah, I really do. I never thought--" He laughs softly and shakes his head, looking at Barry with open fondness. "I never thought a lot of things would happen before you came along."

He smiles into the kiss, feeling lighter than air and nodding before pulling away. It's with great effort that he gently eases out of Barry, but he has a feeling that it won't be for very long. It'll be a miracle if either of them even make it to work tomorrow.

"A very long night," Derek agrees, standing up and stretching. He can't wipe the grin off of his face as he leans down to scoop Barry up into a bridal carry, holding him tight against his chest. "Your turn, hummingbird. Let's go home."

Barry could get them there faster, but Derek likes the weight of him in his arms, and the way Barry's skin feels against Derek's own. He shines like silver in the moonlight, and Derek can barely stop looking at him long enough to make sure that he's going in the right direction.

[thescarletspeedster]

Barry only laughs when Derek scoops him up, content to be carried like a maiden when his knees feel so weak, and the view looking up is as good as it is. He smiles up at Derek, soft and still a little sleepy, but Barry laughs again when a third leaf smacks Derek in the forehead.

"Oh my God," he says. "I fucked you stupid. Didn't I? Eyes on the road, mister."

[triskehale]

"Way to ruin the moment," Derek says with a fond roll of his eyes. He's mainly going by smell, but now that he raises his head and concentrates he's able to hear Jinx's heartbeat, and the puff drinking from its water bottle. They're close to the cabin, so Derek lifts Barry up to toss him over his shoulder in a fireman's carry. He keeps one hand on his ass and laughs softly, turning to bite at Barry's hip as he walks. "That's what you get for sassing me."

[thescarletspeedster]

Barry yelps and hangs where he's been tossed, but he can't help blushing as the position exposes his ass to the night air. His unique biology prevents him being too loose, but there's no question that his ass has been used tonight. Nonsensically, Barry hopes the pets aren't home. He'd be embarrassed for them to see him this way.

"What do I get to do when you sass me then?"

[triskehale]

"Sass you? Never," Derek says flatly, smirking slightly as he walks up onto the porch. Once he's in the cabin, he bends over to lay Barry out across the bed. He kneels over him and kisses him softly, thumbing at his cheekbone.

"I don't want to leave this bed," Derek tells him, obviously torn. "But we need food. Lots of it."

[thescarletspeedster]

The pets are home, but Barry has no time to cover his ass before Derek is depositing him on the bed. At the kiss he sighs and opens his mouth, but his stomach rumbles in the next moment.

"I can speed eat," he says. "Speed cook, probably." Barry tries to think of what he's capable of putting together while desperately horny. "Speed sandwich?"

[triskehale]

"Okay, but I can't speed eat. What are you going to do, ride me while I eat a sandwich?" Derek stands back up and takes a step towards the kitchen, but then turns back towards Barry with a suspicious look. "You are not going to ride me while I eat a sandwich."

He walks bare-assed into the kitchen and looks around, still a little too fucked out and moon drunk to really think. "Come help me."

[thescarletspeedster]

"Well, I wasn't," says Barry, but Derek looks so moon eyed and dopey in the kitchen that he rises at once. "You could, you know. Wolf gobble," he suggests, but he's already got every pantry door open and the fridge door, too, the makings of many sandwiches assembling themselves before his blurred hands.

"If I make them twice as tall," he says, "We can eat half as many."

[triskehale]

"Wolf gobble," Derek repeats flatly, watching as best he can as Barry moves around the kitchen in a blur. "That's sound logic. Between your speed and my teeth, we can do this."

He gets two bottles of water from the fridge and by the time he's done, there's already a line of enormous sandwiches lining the counter. As he hands Barry his water, Derek nods solemnly and lets his teeth sharpen into fangs to better tear through the stacks of meat. "Please don't choke. There's no way that I can Heimlich that fast."

[thescarletspeedster]

Barry watches in awe as Derek tears through his first bite, but after that the hunger pains are too great, and he sets into devouring his own set of sandwiches. He can chew and swallow at speed, but his digestion can't be rushed - not anymore than it already is by his accelerated metabolism, anyway - and Barry actually finishes after Derek.

"Oh God," he groans, rubbing his stomach. "That may have been too many carbs."

[triskehale]

Between the moon and all the sex, Derek is ravenous. Once he's actually faced with meat, he can't really ignore it. He tears through the sandwiches with small little growls, and by the time he's done Barry is still eating. Derek takes the time to wipe his face and wash his hands, looking the tiny bit sheepish.

Barry doesn't seem to mind, and Derek chuckles a bit as he groans. "Are you telling me that you're going to need a siesta, mi amor?" He asks, affecting a slight accent as he comes behind Barry and kisses his shoulder. "Because I believe you were supposed to be mine until the sunrise."

[thescarletspeedster]

"Are you beguiling me with foreign tongues?" asks Barry, leaning into Derek's hold. "Because I only need the one," he says, equally cheesy, and turns his head to kiss Derek's cheek. He closes his eyes, resting for a moment with his head tucked in against Derek's.

"Five minute rest?" he suggests. "Until I'm done digesting."

[triskehale]

"Just the one tongue, huh?" Derek asks with a teasing smile, arms going easily around Barry once he leans in. "Five minutes sounds good."

He slides his hands down to Barry's ass and lifts him just barely off of the floor, carrying him over to the bed and pulling him down onto it. They end up with Derek on his back and Barry sprawled across him, and Derek's fingers drift up into Barry's soft hair. When he speaks, it's soft and hesitant and full of longing. "Will you spend every moon with me?"

[thescarletspeedster]

"Of course," says Barry, rubbing his cheek against Derek's chest, comfortable just where Derek's dragged him. "I mean, it may be difficult to get out of shifts as the new guy, and sometimes the Flash might have to take care of something, but you're my first priority." Barry smiles, his chest suddenly tender and aching around his heart. "I want to be with you."

[triskehale]

"Okay," he breathes out, smiling softly and letting out a quiet sound like a purr as Barry nuzzles at his chest. "If something else comes up, that's fine. I'll understand. And there may be times when I just want to go tearing through the woods."

The pad of his thumb slides slowly across Barry's forehead and down the bridge of his nose, across his lower lip. "It just feels better when you're here. It always does."
