Disclaimer: It never happened, I don’t know these men and it’s all just in my head!

Summary: Sean can’t keep himself for seven months, or can he?

 

It was a nice party, in fact the nicest one he attended to since very long. The food was good, the drinks were good and that long legged blonde looking up in admiration wasn’t too bad either.

 

If only she would talk a little less. He got a bit tired of the constant stream of conversation from her red painted mouth and to be honest: he really couldn’t care less. Not very gentlemen like, was it?

But then again, he didn’t invite her to throw herself at him. He didn’t do anything to scare her off either though.

 

She bend more over to him, offering him a nice look into her cleavage and he suddenly was paying attention a bit more. She was saying something about pictures she wanted to show him, in her hotel room. Of course she did.

He smiled at her, releasing his charm. He put his arm around her waist and informed about her hotel.

Just on the other side of the street? Now that’s convenient.

 

He was just helping her in her coat, letting his hands slip under it when his cell phone rang.

He took it out of his pocket to see who called.

Dammit, Viggo! His eagerness disappeared, too much make up anyway and her legs could have been better.

He made a hasty excuse and a narrow escape. Viggo.

 

He was in some music store, looking for a CD for his daughters. The guy behind the counter, young but not too young to his taste, asked if he could help, his expression offering a lot more than just helping to find a CD.

Sean looked at the strong features, the well toned muscles under the very tight tee-shirt and unconsciously licked his lips.

A few minutes later he walked out with a wrapped CD and a piece of paper with his new friends address, for later this evening.

 

This time he actually made it to the door of Ben’s or Bert’s apartment. When he was about to ring the bell, he remembered today’s date. Fuck, a year ago he was at Viggo’s place.

He almost forgot, but now the memories came back. The way they had made love, had talked, had laughed and made love again.

It would be impossible to go in and have sex with this poor surrogate. Viggo.

 

He had been on a date this evening and congratulated himself with breaking free this time.

She was beautiful and sweet and he really enjoyed her company.

He brought her home and she asked him in. They were no teenagers: he knew what it meant and he wanted it, he wanted her.

There had been no sex at all for the last four months, not since he and Viggo……..

He just told her he couldn’t come in, he was expecting a very important phone call. Viggo.

 

They knew when they parted they wouldn’t be able to see each other for at least seven months.. Their schedules wouldn’t allow meetings and Sean told Viggo he couldn’t just keep himself for that long. He didn’t want to cheat or lie and there would be other women and men even though it would mean nothing..

He hated telling him, but with Viggo you just had to be honest.

And Viggo had said he understood. Whatever, just come back to me and don’t tell me about it, because I don’t want to know and they talked about it no more.

 

But every time he tried he failed, because there was always Viggo, lingering in his head, haunting him from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, making him crave for him, tugging on this fucking invisible leash.

Hehe! That´s right! Reminds me of how I wrote Sean trying to betray Viggo and not getting it up... I like him struggling to prove he´s independant and cool, but loving Viggo too much.

You mean "sweating" Rotpunkt! Yes, that's right!

This ficlet made me warm and fuzzy. :)
It's nice to see Sean attempts to make love affair but fails and is being a good boy for Viggo. Hope he would hold on for another 3 months!!

He will Nana, I am sure!

Won't you write the story of their reunion after 7 months later?

[govi20.livejournal.com]

You have a romantic soul Nana! Don't know yet.

I think deep down Sean is very grateful for that invisible leash. ;D

[govi20.livejournal.com]

I think you're right Brigantine!

A leash may be a nuisance and and a deterrent to one's freedom -- but it also stops a beloved one from becoming lost. A powerful and poignant, if sometimes inconvenient, connection and reminder. I like this a lot. Thank you.
