rugbytackleTitle: Casual
Author: Valour avalour@yahoo.com
Disclaimer: These men own themselves. Only they know what really goes on behind closed doors. But oh do I wish they'd share. In any case: Fiction.
Pairing: Viggo/Sean Bean
Summary: Orli asks, Sean answers, Viggo replies.
Feedback: yes please
Archiving: just ask
Notes: This has not been betaed so please excuse any errors. This is also my first completed s/v fic, and well, my first completed RPS fic at all...
"Casual?" Orli asked, his head cocked, eyes hooded, smile lingering on his lips.
Sean closed the make-up trailer door behind him, blocking out the half-light of near sunrise. He blinked at the coy, almost flirting expression Orlando had gifted him with and managed a quizzical noise that wasn't exactly a word.
"We were talking about sex," Orlando informed him, offering Sean a cup of steaming coffee. The 'we' bit was odd because the two of them were alone in the trailer, but perhaps this meant Viggo had come and gone. "And I wanted to know."
"Wanted to know what?" Sean wondered if it was simply too early or if Orlando really was starting to talk in nonsensical fragments like Viggo.
"If you were casual. I already asked Vig. And the hobbits. You’re my next victim." Orlando's smile conveyed the kind of energy that might have made Sean jealous. If Sean had been awake enough to actually notice.
"As in, do I sleep around?" Sean asked after his first blessed sip of black coffee.
"Well, no." Orlando shook his head. "Just, y'know, casual. No big deal. Shag if the opportunity presents itself. That kind of thing."
"Ah," Sean nodded in understanding as he settled into his chair.
"Well?" Orlando was a picture perfect example of impatience.
"Orlando, have I mentioned how many times I've been married? Does that seem particularly casual to you?"
Orli frowned. "Damn. I was so sure of you, too." He flopped into his own chair. "I owe Dom a drink now."
"Sorry to disappoint." Sean took another sip from his mug, savoring the warmth.
The door opened again and this time it was Viggo, carrying his camera and a coffee cup.
"He's not," Orli announced, gesturing to Sean.
"No?" Viggo gave Sean a sidelong glance, as if sizing him up. Sean did not give into the vague sense of discomfort that threatened him. The camera was gently set down and Viggo bustled about the trailer.
"Nope." Orlando propped his feet up on the make-up counter.
Sean really wasn't quite sure what to make of this conversation but felt it was far too early in the morning for him to really make the effort to understand.
Viggo eyed Sean and yes, definitely predatory as far as Sean could tell.
The makeup crew came bustling in with proper supplies and Sean felt intruded upon because there was a conversation to be had and nowhere to have it.
Viggo knocked Orli's feet off the counter as he walked by. He took his seat next to Sean and watched as Sean finished his coffee. "Not casual." Viggo repeated the idea like he was testing it out, trying it on for size.
"You?" Sean ventured as he tilted his head, allowing the make-up girl better access.
"Not generally. I do make an occasional exception."
Sean wished he hadn't angled his head up. He wished he could see Viggo's eyes. See if they were trained on Orli. Or if they were trained on him. "I don't." Sean felt foolish for saying it. Felt it should have been said sooner or not at all.
There was a contented hum in response and Sean managed to move his head just enough to see Viggo in the mirror. To catch Viggo's eye. Viggo was looking into the mirror, watching Sean as foundation was applied to both of their faces.
And all Viggo said was "Good."

Date: 2003-03-31 09:42 am (UTC)I absolutely love sleepy but not really all that confused Sean and predatory Viggo and poor (okay, not poor) conspiring Orlando. Would it be too much of a cliche to beg for a sequel?
Grinning, huh? :)
Date: 2003-03-31 10:58 pm (UTC)As for a sequel? Hmm... I wasn't going to but now I'll have to think about it. :)

beautiful line. underscores his indecision.
Now I get to beg you for a sequel in which Sean does *indeed* be casual. :p

Date: 2003-03-31 07:41 pm (UTC)Lovely ficlet! Leaves me wanting more, imagining all the lovely things that 'Good' might mean. Predatory Viggo watching Sean, Sean watching predatory Viggo, *g*.
