Music to His Ears

Jase stood in the doorway watching Tommy. Tommy's fingers moved effortlessly over his guitar. Jase couldn't hear what he was playing because Tommy was using his earphones, but the look on his face made it easy to figure out. Tommy's eyes were closed and there was a smile hovering around his lips. It wasn't the joyous grin he got when playing Shady. No, this was more intimate, more personal. Which meant it was Nirvana or Map.

The songs Adam wrote for Sauli. The ones about happiness and love.

Tommy caught him staring and smiled. Jase's heart stuttered in his chest.

^v^

Tommy pulled off his earphones, and suddenly the room was filled with Tommy's guitar, the echoing strains of Map softly floating over to Jase.

When the song finished, Tommy carefully set his guitar down and stood up, stretching. His shirt rose and Jase swallowed hard at the pale strip of skin he could see. Without even realizing he'd crossed the room, he had Tommy's hips in his hands, his thumbs caressing that bare skin. His lips moved softly over the shaved side of Tommy's head.

"Adam's right," Jase whispered. "The lyrics, I mean, about believing more than I can see?"

^v^

Jase kissed Tommy's temple. "It's how I feel about you. And I know that makes me sound corny as hell but I don't care. It's true. Something brought us together: fate, a higher power, who the fuck knows or cares. Somehow I was lucky enough to be your doctor that day."

His thumb rubbed lightly over the scar on Tommy's neck. "We've been very fortunate. Both of us. I can't not believe in something."

"I know," Tommy said softly, stretching up, pressing their lips together. "It's one reason I love you."

He smiled up at Jase, and Jase's heart soared.
