A Safehouse - London

[itsananomaly]

It had been a long few weeks with running several different experiments on the artefacts and while they had showed some promising early results, they had ended up running into a bit of a rut with what experiment they could do next so they had decided to spend sometime to themselves that morning and have a bit of a break. They had decided to skip breakfast that morning and opt for a longer sleep in. He had missed all of this with Connor, being close to him and now that he was laying in the bed next to him, he smiled warmly up at Connor, "this is really nice," he murmured. He could almost forget they were on the run from a narcissistic psychopath and hiding out in a safehouse, this was almost like how things used to be.

Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	It was really nice actually... so much like how it had been before...everything. Working with Cutter, doing experiments together, going over research, spending time together, and the snuggling had been nice. Very nice. Connor had missed it all too, ore than he realized until he was laying there next to Cutter, trying to hide from the offending sun keeping thorough the boarded-up window. Somehow they had ended up with the bedroom at the back of the house, which gave them a bit more privacy, which had been nice during the late-night talks and these early-morning sleep-ins. Connor turned and looked at Cutter and smiled. "Very nice" he agreed. "You sleep alright?" he asked with a sleepy yawn.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter smiled warmly up at Connor, reaching a hand up to give his cheek a gentle stroke, "I did sleep very well, I think it's one of the better night sleeps that I've had ... " he admitted, since he hadn't been sleeping much lately, "how about you, how did you manage last night?"
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor's eyes closed as he leaned into the touch slightly. It felt so nice just being here like this. "I actually slept decent for once" he said softly. "I...I started having dreams" he said, not going into detail cuz he knew Cutter knew what he meant. "But having you here.. it helped and I was able to sleep."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	And Cutter kept his hand on Connor's cheek, stroking it gently, "if you ever want to talk about them, I'm here," he said softly, not wanting to pressure Connor to talk about his dreams with him but he also wanted Connor to know that he was there to support him, "having you here helped me sleep as well," he added with a warm smile.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor smiled and shifted to face Cutter more and put his arms around him in a gentle hug. "Same for you Nick. I'm here for you too" Connor said with a smile. It was odd in a way to feel so relaxed and so good considering the situation they were in, but being with Cutter again like this, it was definitely helping. And it was definitely reminding Connor of why he started to fall for Cutter in the first place.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter smiled warmly at that and he snuggled in closer to Connor as he placed his arms around him, he felt comfortable and relaxed and he had missed being with Connor. “I’m glad that we can do this again,” he said softly, “I missed this …”
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"It is nice" Connor said with a smile as he shifted closer and closed his eyes. It had been so long since they could be together like this. "Even with everything else... this is really nice. I... I've missed being able to do this. I.. I've missed us" Connor said softly.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter leaned against Connor's chest, taking a moment to appreciate that despite everything that had happened, everything that was going on ... he never thought that he'd be able to be back with Connor after all this time, "I've missed us as well," he softly, "I ... I never ... I mean despite everything that's going on, I'm glad that we can take the time to just be together .... to just enjoy each other's company,"
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"I never thought we'd be here again" Connor admitted. "I.... I wanted it.. wanted this more than anything but... didn't know if we would." Connor looked at Cutter and leaned a little closer and ran his hand through the wild mess of blonde hair before gently kissing the top of Cutter's hair. "Love you Nick" he whispered softly.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter trembled at the kiss on his hair and closed his eyes, he hadn't realised just how much he had missed being close to Connor until there were there snuggled up in the bed, "I love you too Connor, I will always love you," and then there was a movement of hesitation as he looked up and then leaned in to give Connor a kiss.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor sighed softly into the kiss, closing his eyes. He knew he loved being together with Cutter like this, but he had missed the feeling more than he had realized. "love you too, Nick" he moaned as he broke the kiss just for a moment. "Always..." he said as he ran his hand behind Cutter's head and pulled him back down for another kiss, this time not stopping."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter moaned into the kiss, he had definitely missed this and now he knew he never wanted to be without Connor. He desperately wanted to keep the kiss going as long as possible.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor would have no complaints about keeping that kiss going for as long as possible. In fact, the hand in Cutter's hair demonstrated just how willing he was to keep going as he pulled himself closer, enjoying every second of being back wth Cutter like this. He knew the time away had been right and for the best, it really was what they had needed, but now... back with him like this... Connor knew there was never going to be anyone that he felt this way about.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Eventually a thing like breathing became a necessity and Cutter had to reluctantly pull back but he didn't go back very, leaning in as close to Connor as he could, "this is really nice," he murmured, apparently his vocabulary hadn't improved at all since the last time they were together. "Really nice, I've missed this so much ... I've missed you ..." yes they had hung out quite frequently as friends, which Cutter always enjoyed but this, what they shared here was special and Cutter would always cherish this when they were together.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor looked at Cutter and smiled softly. There was the 'nice' again, which sounded absolutely perfect to his ears. "All of this... it is so much easier dealing with everything... with you here beside me Nick" Connor said softly as he leaned forward and rested his head against Cutter's for a moment. "I... I'd never be able to do all this.. deal with everything... without you here with me."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter smiled warmly as he lay there next to Connor, his head leaning against Connor's, "I'm glad I have you here with me ... I ... if I didn't have you here ... well I think its safe to say I would have gone and done something stupid like turn myself into Christine by now," Because he knew he was never going to be able to live that down.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"Yes someone has to keep an eye on you after all," Connor said with a laugh and a fond smile. And yes, there was no living that down Cutter at least not for a while still. "I'm glad we are here though... at least being together makes it all easier. I'm better with you here with me, Nick."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	"I'm glad that we can be here together," Cutter said softly, "I don't feel as helpless as I did before ... even with everything going on, I'm just glad that I can be together with you, us being together again, I've missed this a lot," he said with a fond smile.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor smiled and leaned closer and placed a soft kiss on Cutter's forehead and smiled. "Nothing or no one is going to make me stop loving you Nick, not even my own crazy mind. I am not going to make that mistake ever again."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter smiled softly at that, "neither am I, I'm so sorry for everything," yes he had apologised countless times but that was going to be a decision that he would always regret, that he had hurt Connor so badly in the process and no amount of apologising was going to make up for it, "I'm never going to push you away again," he trembled slightly, "I promise,"
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"Good... that is all I need" Connor said as he looked down at Cutter and smiled, running a gloved hand to the side of his face as he leaned in closer. "I forgive you Nick. I've forgiven you a dozen times over" Connor smiled as he kissed him once more.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter gave a warm smile at that, words failing him that Connor could even forgive him for what he'd done and then he leaned into the kiss, eager to resume kissing Connor and keep kissing him for as long as was possible.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor moaned into the kiss softly as he ran his hands down to Cutter's shoulders. Then, gripping his shoulders firmly yet gently, Connor shifted and moved Cutter so he was on his back. Leaning over him, Connor smiled down at him, just gazing at him, taking a moment to try and remember every little detail. Then slowly he leaned over and kissed Cutter.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	And Cutter let out a gasp, feeling an all too familiar thrill as Connor turned him so he was laying on his back and after a moment of enjoying the delight that he and Connor got to experience this again, he happily leaned into the kiss, savouring each moment of the feel of Connor’s lips on his.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	There was something special about every moment like this he had been able to share with Cutter. But now, after everything, even the simplest things seemed ten times as amazing. There was nothing too extraordinary about it, and maybe it was even a little vanilla by most standards. But Connor did care, for him, these moments, simple as they were, they were the best thing he had ever known., And right there in that moment, Connor wanted nothing more than to lose himself in the moment. And that was exactly what he did as he deepened the kiss slowly, deliberately.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter took great pleasure in savouring every moment of this and when Connor started to deepen the kiss, he willingly reciprocated and opened his mouth hungrily, eager for more. He took one of his hands and began to run it along Connor’s back, slowly and deliberately as he did, to give Connor the same pleasure that he was giving him.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	A shiver of pleasure ran through Connor at the touch and he leaned harder into the kiss. He had missed that feeling of Cutter's hands on his, the soft roughness of the gloves as they slid against his skin. Connor couldn't help the moan that escaped him as he moaned into the kiss.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	And Cutter let out another moan of pleasure as Connor leaned in harder to the kiss, Cutter savouring every moment of this kiss as he remembered how much he had enjoyed these moments with Connor. As he responded to the kiss, he ran his hand up and down Connor's back and then back up and into his hair, giving it a gentle massage.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Eventually, the need for an actual full breath of air won over and Connor broke the kiss. The touch of Cutter's hand in his hair made him tremble with pleasure and Connor laid his head back and gasped. Connor bit his lip lightly, pushing back the cry of pleasure, reminding himself where they were and that they weren't alone. This all felt so right, so perfect, and Connor wished that it would never end.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter was trying really hard to remember that they weren't alone but it was hard to remember that when this was filling with him so much pleasure and he wanted to enjoy every moment of the time that he was able to spend with Connor. He smiled up at him as Connor broke the kiss, his hand gently massaging Connor's hair and his other hand going to his cheek to give it a gentle stroke. He didn't say anything, there was nothing that he could say but his eyes were filled with so much longing and desire and how happy he was to be here with the man he loved after everything they had been through.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"Nick.." Connor gasped as he leaned into the touch and looked down at Cutter. Their eyes met and in an instant, Connor felt like he was back to how it had been with Cutter before everything. "I...love you... Nick" he gasped softly as he leaned back over and shifted slightly, pinning Cutter against the bed a little more as he kissed him again.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	"I love you too Connor, so much," And then he let out a cry of pleasure as Connor pinned him against the bed, at that point not really caring that someone could hear them, he was with Connor and it was just like how things used to be ... before he had screwed everything up, Connor forgave him and he was here, getting to experience this wonderful moment with him. He leaned eagerly into the kiss, not wanting any of this to stop.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor grinned playfully almost at that reaction and held a finger to his lips, though he made no attempt to hide the moan that escaped his own lips. He never thought he would be able to be here, like this, with Cutter again. And now that he was, Connor didn't ever want to stop feeling the way he was feeling right then, right there.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	A giggle escaped before he could help it and he tried to suppress the pure bliss that he felt right then, being so close to Connor but he gazed fondly up at him, taking in everything about this moment, wanting to memorise it. After a moment of just taking in the sight of Connor being on top of him, getting to experience all of this again, "you are so handsome Connor," he said, trying to keep his voice quiet but he wanted Connor to know just how much he adored him right then, "all of this ... this is amazing, being together like this,"
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"That's my line" Connor said, eyes bright with the love and desire he felt at that moment. After everything that had happened, all he wanted was to be right there like this with the man he always had, and now knew he always would, love. "You are as handsome as ever...Professor" Connor said, whispering that title softly in Cutter's ear as he leaned over and watched his face for a reaction, a mischievous grin spreading over his face.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter’s eyes were filled with love and desire as he gazed longingly up at Connor and then his eye widened at that use of his title … the way that Connor used to say it and he started blushing bright red. “Oh I’ve missed this so much … I’ve missed you calling me that,” he said softly and then he leaned up to give Connor another kiss.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"I've missed you Nick" Connor said as he kissed up the side of Cutter's neck slowly. "I don't ever want to not be with you, to not have you here with me" he said longingly as he brushed his lips against Cutter's lightly before deepening the kiss hungrily.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	It was taking all of Cutter's self control to not start crying out in pleasure at the kisses that Connor was planting on the side of his neck. "I'm never going anywhere Connor," he said softly, "I'm staying this time, no matter how bad this will get ... I'm going to stay and I'm going to stay with you," he said and then he leaned into that kiss, letting out a moan as he hungrily savoured more of Connor's kisses.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Hopefully, the return kiss was enough to let Cutter know the feeling was mutual and Connor was not going anywhere. Because there were no words right then that could be said, both because his brain was shorting out a bit from the pleasure of being with Cutter like that and also because his mouth was a bit too busy kissing the man he loved to do much talking just then.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter understood and let out another moan at the intensity of the kiss as he concentrated on hungrily devouring those kisses, his lips meeting Connor's and in that moment, all of their other troubles seemed so far away ... he was with the man he loved and even though Christine had tried, she hadn't broken him ... he had so much going for him and if he had turned himself in, he wouldn't get to be with Connor like this right now. He didn't want this to stop, he wanted to keep the kissing going for as long as possible.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor shifted and moved one hand to slide it along Cutter's back, slipping it up under the edge of his shirt. A gloved finger slid over the skin as the other hand grabbed at the mattress as Connor tried to support himself while kissing Cutter deeply. Every nerve in his body was on fire and he loved every second of it. Everything at that moment was perfect. He was with Nick. They were together. And that was all Connor wanted or needed. Everything else had faded into the background. He knew he and Nick would get through anything. Helen had tried to desty them and nearly succeeded. Christine and Wilder were trying again. But Conor knew he loved Nick and that he loved him and that was all he needed. That was all he wanted. And he was determined to never let Cutter doubt that as he continued the kiss, still running his hand along Cutter's back, knowing how much he enjoyed the feel of the gloves.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	And Cutter couldn’t help the loud cry of pure bliss that escaped right then as he felt Connor’s gloved hand make contact with his back. He knew that it was very likely that someone had heard him but right then he didn’t care, he was with the man he loved and they were never going to be apart again. He took one trembling hand and he began to gently caress Connor’s back, being slow and deliberate with his own gloved hand so Connor would get to experience the same joy that he felt at the contact. He kept leaning into those deep kisses, cherishing every moment of this as he hungrily wanted more … his body yearned for more and he never wanted this to stop.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	It was a good thing that somewhere in the farther reaches of his mind, Connor still remembered where they were and that they were anything but alone in the house. That was the only thread holding his willpower together at that moment. The feel of Cutter's hand and the glove against his skin made him cry out with pleasure, his body arching back instinctually into the touch. He had missed this. So much, and he didn't want it to end.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	"Connor... don't stop..." Cutter moaned as he continued to rub Connor's back and then he ran his hand up into Connor's hand and gave it a gentle massage, "love...you..." he gasped out, the desire he was feeling flowing through him. All of this was amazing and all he wanted right then was to be with the man he loved.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	"Love you... Nick" he moaned, breaking the kiss to draw in a shaky breath as he trembled from the pleasure of Cutter's touch. "Love you so...so much..." Connor leaned back and kissed him softly, his arms starting to tremble slightly as the started to get tired. But he didn't want to stop. He just wanted to keep this moment going for as long as possible.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter knew that eventually they would have to stop not just for things like breathing but they still had responsibilities they needed to do for the day but it had been so long since he and Connor had gotten to experience such a moment as this and he was always going to cherish this, he just wanted to make it last as long as possible before they had to go and join the others. He kept kissing Connor, he was still very much enjoying everything about this and he didn't want to stop.
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Eventually the mind-numbing pleasure would have to end. They had managed to carve out this time together. And it had been beyond perfect. But the real world wouldn't wait. Christine and Wilder were still after them, there was work they had to do, and the team needed them. With one last passionate kiss, and just as his arms were about to give out for good, Connor slowly pulled back and looked down at Cutter for a moment before leaning to the side and collapsing onto the bed beside him, breathing hard but with a contented smile on his face.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter snuggled in close to Connor as he lay back down next to him, "I've missed this so much," he said softly as he gazed fondly at Connor, "I never thought I would get to experience anything like that, with the two of us again,"
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor smiled and nodded at first, too tired to talk for the moment. He snuggled close and wrapped his arms around Cutter and kaid his head against his shoulder. "I missed this... all of this... so much" he said softly as he closed his eyes and sighed contentedly. "I love you Nick... always."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter lay in Connor's arms, taking the moment to just appreciate how amazing all of this ... that he and Connor could do all of this again, "I love you too Connor," he smiled warmly lifting his head slightly to meet Connor's gaze, "I love you so much,"
Connor(anomaly_research_nerd)	Connor nodded sleepily and closed his eyes as he snuggled closer to Cutter. He could have stayed like that, wrapped up in the arms of the man he loved more than anyone or anything... he could never leave and he would be content. "Love you Nick" he whispered as he started to drift off a little, just losing himself in the moment, wanting to soak it all in.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter smiled warmly as he settled in to get comfortable, this was all perfect, he was here in Connor's arms and they'd gotten to share this amazing moment together, "I will always love you Connor," he said softly as he was content to just lay there and appreciate how nice and relaxing this all was.
Becker(thearcfamily)	Forgive the interruption boys, but the morning hours had passed, and the rest of the team had finished breakfast a good whole ago. Danny and Becker had even finished their morning walk around the house then out on the porch. So unfortunately, it was time to get back to reality, and it had fallen to Becker to be the one to do so. A moment later there was a knock on the door as Becker stood outside and waited.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter blinked a little at the sound of the knock on the door, he had almost forgotten that they weren't along in the house and he wondered what time it was. "Uh, I guess I better get that," Cutter said reluctantly as he began to untangle himself from Connor's arms and slowly crawled out of bed, he was very thankful that he was still wearing his pyjamas as he made his way to the door and opened it. "Uh hey Becker," Cutter said rather sheepishly, "what have we missed?"
Becker(thearcfamily)	Connor let out a small whimper of protest at the loss of contact and watched as Cutter made his way towards the door slowly. As the door creaked open Becker stood there and looked in, giving Cutter a small nod and then tilted his head and gave Cutter a smirk. "Well, you've missed breakfast for starters," he said. "Though I'm pretty sure you two more than made the most of your time together."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter went bright red as he looked back at the bed, already missing where he been laying curled up against Connor, "oh is it that late?" he tried to look rather innocent at that. "And um ... yeah we did make the most of our time together," he agreed with a fond smile as he looked back at Connor and then at Becker, "it was very ... well nice," and there was the nice word again.
Becker(thearcfamily)	Becker smiled and looked at Cutter then past him over to where Connor was reluctantly pulling himself out of the bed. "Glad to hear it... well... that part of things anyways" Becker said with a smile and a somewhat awkward shift, taking the weight off his bad leg. "It... it's good to know you two are in a better place. You both deserve to be happy."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter smiled shyly at that, still rather red after spending all that time with Connor and then Becker having to come and get them, "thank you Becker, that ... that really means a lot, I'm ... I'm very happy with Connor," he said fondly as he glanced shyly back at Connor.
Becker(thearcfamily)	"Good. Might want to make sure next time you two keep a little tighter control on the volume, though." Becker tried to look serious but the grin showed through and he had to laugh. "Don't worry about it," he said when he saw the look on Cutter's face. "No one is gonna say anything about it. Well, Danny might cuz he's a troll" Becker admitted with a laugh.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	It should not have been possible for Cutter to go that shade of red at that, "uh .... " he really didn't know what to say to that, "I ... um didn't realise we were um ... that loud," he managed to squeak out, oh wow look at that the floor was very fascinating right then.
Becker(thearcfamily)	Becker grinned and leaned against the doorway a little and put a hand on Cutter's shoulder. "You're fine Nick" he said with a smile. "It is good to see the two of you happy again. You deserve it - to be happy- both of you."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	And Cutter smiled happily at that, still rather red though because yes he was fully expecting some kind of comment from Danny because he really was a troll, "thank you Becker, it feels really nice, being together like this again," he said rather shyly, "I'm ... I know I won't make the same mistake that I did before," he said softly.
Becker(thearcfamily)	"And that is what matters" Becker said with a nod. "Though we really do have to work on your punctuality!" Becker called into to the room at Connor, who was getting dressed. "Sorry Becker! Sorry!" came the reply from somewhere inside the room and Becker gave Cutter a small wink. "We saved ya some breakfast and then we gotta get started. Got a busy day planned and all."
Cutter(itsananomaly)	"I guess I better go and get dressed then, I'm pretty sure everyone would prefer not to see me in my pyjamas," Cutter grinned as his stomach started rumbling and he turned even redder, "I ... uh ... I guess I've worked up a bit of an appetite," he said sheepishly.
Becker(thearcfamily)	Becker had to fight back a laugh at that. "See ya in the kitchen in ten minutes. You both can eat while we go over the day's assignments." Becker gave another small smirk then started to leave and head back to the others.
Cutter(itsananomaly)	Cutter grinned back, "Yes sir," he said, still blushing bright red, "we'll try and not be late this time," he added sheepishly as he closed the door behind him so that he and Connor could finish getting changed before they headed out to breakfast and learnt what their assignments would be during the day.
