*They hurtle around another corner faster than is strictly necessary, and Gene flicks the ash from the tip of his cigarette out of the open window. Their destination isn't far, but while it's sunny outside Gene's going to make the most of it. It's never much fun when they have to go under the foundations of a building, or down a sewer or into some underground shithole. And since that's where they're headed right now, Sam'll have to put up with the open windows and the overenthusiastic rev of the engine.*

*shouts over the roar of the wind* You know, it's just plain bloody rude. We get what, three days of sun a year in this fair city, and because of some ruddy sewer rat scumbags we're destined to spend one of those days underground and up to our ankles in crap.

*glances back at Gene - and, yes, that smugness is definitely showing. Sam rolls his eyes.*

Says the man 'oo just did a fair impression of a clingy Saint Bernard...

*However, once Sam's made it to the phone and gotten through to Phyllis, he of course doesn't make Gene sound like too much of a wuss. Just a few stabs at how his voice is gone, how he's quite demanding... Just enough to amuse Phyllis and make sure that she relays the message.*

Anythin' 'appens, call me up or send Annie 'round. I'll be at the Guv's the rest of the day.... Yeah.... no, yes, the 'ouse will still be standin' by tomorrow, don't worry... yes... 'course I'll be back. ... oh hah hah, very funny.

*sets the receiver down a little bit more forcefully than necessary, exhaling with a sigh, before moving back into the lounge. His back is protesting less again, but Sam doesn't trust this false peace... He needs to do something about this........*

*While Sam's on the phone, Gene stretches himself out on the sofa and takes up as much space as possible. He'll move if Sam wants to come and canoodle again, of course - but for now he's just going to lounge and take advantage of not having to be in work. If his voice was better he'd jump at the chance to go back, for sure. But since Sam's off as well, he may as well make the most of it. He closes his eyes before Sam comes back in, and doesn't open them even when Sam speaks*

*replies hoarsely*

You do that, you'll risk a bath yourself.

*But, indeed, it doesn't look like Gene's going to move now. However, Sam remembers something - he disappears into the kitchen, and after a bit of clinking and running water, he returns, setting down a jug of ice cold water along with an empty glass on the little sofa table.*

'ere. Should do wonders on your throat. *He can't help it, he reaches out to pet Gene's head one more time - in passing - and then he's out of the lounge, and up the stairs.*

*Gene opens an eye as he hears the jug thump down on the table, and before he can even really look at Sam, he's gone. And as he realises that Sam's put some ice water down for him, he feels a little warmth spread through his chest. Smiling to himself, he pours a glass and drains it - the ice cold liquid cooling and soothing his raw throat enough to make him feel almost human again. And with his throat not hurting quite so much, Gene lets himself snooze and listen lazily for the running of water upstairs*

*It takes a little while for the water to heat up, and to fill the bathtub, but Sam needs some time undressing anyway - certain motions just hurt like nothing else - and by the time he's done with that, steam is already feeling the bathroom, making it comfortably warm.

And when Sam lets himself slide down into the hot water... God, it seems to be the best thing he's ever felt. He'll have to be careful not to fall asleep, he realises immediately, because this, right now, could just be heaven.

... and it would be, if Gene were here as well.

Sam gives a little sigh, sinking down lower, until he's in the water until nearly up to his nose, bubbles tickling at it as he hums with another, contented sigh. And, finally, allows himself to close his eyes, concentrate on how his muscles slowly unwind in the hot water, how they relax, how his very bones seem to shift back into place...



Only once the water has grown lukewarm does Sam move, regretfully, heaving himself out of the tub (but not before he's performed a proper dive, haphazardly washing his hair as well). And that bath really really helped - moving isn't so hard anymore, and he feels less edgey as he moves about the room, wrapping himself in a towel and drying himself properly while the water goes down the drain. And then - because why not? It's a day off now, after all - he slips into one of Gene's over-large bathrobes instead of getting dressed again. And, just like that, he taps down the stairs again, hair wet and sticking up in all directions.

Sam yawns, like a cat, as he steps into the lounge, wrapping the bathrobe around himself and losely tying a knot with its belt.*

... alright?

*then sounds of Sam bathing are just barely audible through the walls of the house - the water splashing every now and then, along with the small motions of Sam shifting and the pipes creaking. And it's actually quite relaxing to listen to.

By the time Sam's padded back downstairs in only Gene's big dressing gown, Gene's nodded off into a light snooze.

Sam's voice snaps him out of it though and he jumps a little, eyes snapping open.*

Wha--

*and there it is again, the buildup and dryness in his throat left over from sleep cuts his voice out completely, a hard barrage of coughs following immediately after.*

*All his attention on Gene, Sam of course realises what Gene wants to do, and reaches out for the jug before Gene can reach it. He pours a good amount into the glass and hands that to Gene, making sure he's got a good grip on it before Sam lets go, his other hand still on Gene's back, rubbing soothing circles.*

*Gene takes the glass gratefully, shaking his head at Sam's apology. The coughs are still trying to make their way up his throat, but he's keeping them in valiantly*

*croaks, voice still hard to hear* No, don't. Wasn't you.

*This would have happened whether he woke up quickly or slowly. Sleeping allows everything to settle and stick, apparently. The mucus or blood or whatever it is that's clinging to the inside of his windpipe, tickling and triggering coughs. Trying to wash the itching away, Gene takes a good long glug of water and tries not to inhale any as he does*

Hand on Gene's back still, Sam sits down slowly next to him, starting to properly wind his arm around him once the coughs slowly subside.*

If he'd stayed in that room while it kept filling up... Surely it wouldn't have been long before he'd have started to choke, or before his throat would've closed up.

Everything he does is for the job. To get the job done. And while Sam may think his methods risky, it's how he's done things for years and years, and things have worked out OK so far.

But still, he understands the concern.*

It doesn't take long for him to find a program that they can both watch (only limited channels after all), and he settles on a mindless quiz show. Something they can both drift along with and possibly fall asleep to. One look at Sam and he can tell that's what's going to happen.*

*huffs a little before tilting his head to the side until it's resting against the backrest, then glances at the telly again. Christ, people keep complaining about how things were that much better in the old days, but looking at this quiz show... not much different to the things he's used to from trash TV.

So instead, Sam closes his eyes - just for a moment, mind... It's good to have a bit of quiet, good on Gene's vocal chords as well...*

*With silence now settled over the room, Gene contents himself with watching the television for a while. Eventually though his own eyes begin to droop, and he lets himself rest even further against the cushions and lay his head back. A few seconds later his eyes are closed. He'll open them again in a little bit... When Sam opens his.*

*With only the telly rattling on, Sam is slipping away very quickly - until he flinches slightly, having started to topple backwards. Christ, but he's too sleepy... But if he stays like this and once again doesn't try to find a good place to sleep in, his back is going to kill him for sure.

In a sleepy haze, Sam shifts, turning around on the sofa, back to Gene, then lifting his legs... leaning back...

... ahhh yes, that's better. Sam closes his eyes again, content - his head is now in Gene's lap, legs draped over the arm rest of the sofa. Nevermind that he didn't even warn Gene about this - he's too tired (and, right now, happy) to even care.*

*Gene opens his eyes a little as he feels the weight in his lap suddenly. He doesn't need to look down to know what it is though, and he smiles at the thought. He closes his eyes again and lets a hand rise to settle on Sam's forehead, threading his fingers through Sam's fringe*

*whispers roughly, a smile in his voice*

You sap.

*A lazy smile appears on Sam's face as Gene's hand comes to rest on his forehead, stroking through his hair*

*mumbles* Mmh. S'pose I am. *then he wriggles a little, making it himself that little bit more comfortable.

And then, finally, he can feel sleep tug at him... He'll just nap, just for an hour or two... His head lolls to the side ever so slightly, facing Gene (or his belly, rather), and slowly, Sam's mind slips away...*

*Gene lets his own mind fall blank as Sam drifts off to sleep, his head tipping to the side slightly and his hand coming to rest across Sam's chest. And there they stay for a while, the TV on low though nobody's watching it.

Gene doesn't know how long he's asleep for - all he's aware of when he wakes up is an urgent need to cough. He tries to stifle it, aware that Sam's still draped across his lap, but soon he's coughing loudly, his hand flying off Sam's chest to cover his mouth*

*Sam registers Gene's touch - the warm, reassuring pressure on his chest... It lulls him further to sleep.

It is in fact only a couple of hours later when Gene's cough wakes them both. Despite having drifted off, Sam's mind still is on alert, and as soon as it registers the slight shaking of Gene's body as he tries to suppress his coughs, Sam is jerked back into awareness. He flinches slightly, blinking his eyes open - and then sits up, just as Gene starts covering up his mouth*

Alright, yer alright...

*Sam's voice is thick with sleep, but he still rearranges himself, turning so he faces Gene, his arms winding around him and his hands patting at Gene's back*

Got you...

*lets go a little more now that Sam's awake - dammit, he hadn't wanted to wake him this way. He can feel things in his chest loosening as he coughs, his throat becoming hot and acidic again. And inbetween the gasps he thinks he may be able to taste a little blood...

A few moments later he's wheezing but quiet, the coughs petering out and leaving Gene sore and tired. Feeling frustrated and a little embarrassed, Gene doesn't stop himself leaning into Sam's touch a little - he's not brave enough to hear what his voice sounds like after that yet. *

*Christ, but Gene's cough sounds terrible... A tight feeling in his chest, Sam holds Gene through his fit, rubbing at his back.

Once the coughs peter out, Sam gives Gene's back one last rub, pressing a quick kiss to his temple, before twisting and reaching over to the small table to pick up a glass (thank God there's still water in it), handing it to Gene.*

'ere...

*he wants to keep hugging Gene, hold him, but for now their priority has to be to calm his throat down again...*

*still struggling to control the unbearable itching in his throat and the pressure in his chest, Gene takes the water and gulps it down desperately.

The glass is empty in seconds, and it seems to have done the trick. Finally feeling relaxed enough to speak, Gene clears his throat and sighs huskily*

Bollocks to this.

*Gene watches Sam leave the room, curiosity tugging at him. But he still feels tired, chesty and sore in his throat. So while he waits for Sam to come back, he drops his head back against the back of the chair and sighs, swallowing convulsively and raising a hand to gingerly rub at his chest*

*Sam doesn't plan on going back, though - indeed, on his way out of the kitchen he grabs something else he's prepared (namely a fairly large sheet of plastic) and carries all of that upstairs, into the bedroom. Gene wants his ice cream... and Sam wants to make Gene feel good. And Sam's just showered.

Sam is sure they can combine everyone's needs there.

So he gets rid of the covers and the gown he's been wearing, drapes the plastic over the mattress, and then positions himself as decoratively as he possibly can, before setting down the box of ice cream next to him and sticking the spoon in, ready to use it.

Feeling a little twitchy with barely concealed glee, he calls out*

Alright, you can come up!

*Gene's surprised to hear Sam calling from upstairs - that's... Not what he was expecting...?

He can't call back of course, so he slowly pushes himself to his feet while trying not to breathe too deeply and then starts to make his way up the stairs. He has no clue what's going on - he'd thought that that box would probably just have been more ice cream, but Sam clearly has some kind of devious plan.

Once he's at the top, he pokes his head around the corner and is met with a very confusing but exciting sight.*

...... Well this isn't what I was expecting...!

You wanted ice cream, yeah?

*with a flick of his wrist, the chunk (and heavens it's cold on his skin) lands on his chest, right above where the sternum ends*

Here you go, then.

*Gene stares wide-eyed for a good couple of seconds. He takes in the sight in front of him. Sam, bollock naked, ice cream sitting glistening on his chest. And god, if he'd had much breath left it would have knocked it right out of him.*

*Slowly a smile spreads across Gene's face, amusement twinkling in his eyes*

*croaks* You... jammy bastard!

*rolls his sleeves up in a very business-like way*

Alrighty then! No point in letting good ice cream go to waste!

*hurries over to where Sam's lying, hoisting himself up onto the bed beside him and grinning*

Cold, is it?

Oh, yes. Very cold. But if you don't hurry, it's gonna melt... all over the place.

*gives Sam a look with a raised eyebrow and then slowly lowers his head, eyes on the melting ice cream on Sam's skin. In another situation he'd probably let the stuff melt and trickle down any available crevices, but...! This time what he really needs is the ice cream.

So he licks, letting his tongue scoop the stuff up and off of Sam and swallowing it down. And the cold sensation is exactly what he needs. It tickles a little at first, causing him to cough just a touch - but he knows what he needs is more.*

*Sam can feel his heartbeat pick up pace as Gene moves in, plonks himself down on the bed, and...

Jesus, yes, this is exactly what he had imagined it to be like. Gene's tongue on him, inadvertedly spreading the ice cream before lapping it all up, it sends a shiver of pleasure down his spine. And that -- Gene's look once he's done. So expectant.

With a grin, Sam scoops up another big spoonful of ice cream, this time placing it a bit lower on his torso, a little bit above his belly button*

*Sam's eyes widen a little at that and his breath stutters for a moment - and the amount of blood rushing south really isn't justified by this one simple statement.*

One thing... at a time, please...!

*He nearly forgets to scoop out the next portion of ice cream, and once he does, he makes sure to lead a trail back down his chest... and then, he simply can't help but shove a spoonful into his own mouth, just to help himself to cool down a little... this fun is supposed to last a while, after all!*

Yeah, you're right. Gravy and ice cream would taste rank.

*it strikes him at this point that Sam must be pretty bloody cold, all that ice having been on him - so here, Gene makes sure to suck on Sam's skin just a little - using the warmth of his mouth to counteract it a bit*

Just a little.
