Billy didn't know how to name the feeling he had when Frank married Maria. He was happy for his friend, for both of them. He did everything a best man was supposed to do, and then some, because he would be damned if Frank didn't have a decent wedding, even if it was a rush job. Because Maria was pregnant. But Frank was happy and that was what mattered.
But something did shift in him as he watched his friend take his vows. No one sticks around. Maybe that wasn't totally fair - Frank was his brother, they were Marines, and they would share things that no one else did, and that was okay. He didn't need anything else from Frank. He didn't deserve anything else.
They had some leave before their first deployment, which was how Frank managed to get married at all. And after Frank resurfaced from his brief honeymoon, Billy was happy to meet him for drinks.

Date: 2018-07-29 01:12 am (UTC)He shushed against his skin gently, really pressed into eating him out between the soft, soothing sound.

Date: 2018-07-29 01:40 am (UTC)And that fucking shushing - that sound haunted his wet dreams, ever since Frank first did it in some corner of the barracks.
His tongue felt good, and Billy was intimately fucking aware of the fact that they'd just gone bareback and he'd been real into it. And now-- now Frank's tongue was in his ass, cleaning him, eating him the fuck out and he was going to get hard again if he kept this up.

Date: 2018-07-29 11:41 pm (UTC)He sighed and rested his forehead against Billy's hip for a moment.
no subject
Date: 2018-07-30 02:17 am (UTC)"Fuck," he sighed, finally remembering how to make words happen.

Date: 2018-07-30 02:26 pm (UTC)"Fuck, I think I'm half-hard again," he mumbled into a pillow, a grin in his voice as he enjoyed the feeling of Frank's weight on him.
no subject
Date: 2018-07-30 08:29 pm (UTC)He pressed a kiss to his skin. Billy was definitely more than half-hard. "You want some help with that? Or maybe I should just roll over and let you get nasty, huh?"

Date: 2018-07-31 12:59 am (UTC)"Jesus, where the hell you learn to do that?"
no subject
Date: 2018-07-31 06:30 pm (UTC)Softly, into the quiet space between them, Frank said simply, "I wasn't picky about who I was fooling around with as a kid. The pastor and my folks went off about all the fun shit being a sin, and that just made me want to do it more. Just because I'd never fucked until Maria and you doesn't mean I wasn't doing other shit."
no subject
Date: 2018-07-31 08:40 pm (UTC)He huffed a quiet laugh at the idea of little Frank Castle touching dicks to piss off God. Billy nudged their foreheads together.
"Yeah, me and God haven't been on speaking terms since before puberty. After that I didn't really give a shit who said anything was right or wrong."
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 12:49 am (UTC)Frank ran his fingers over Billy’s cheek and jawline gently. His eyes went, momentarily, to the knot of scarring on Billy’s shoulder that they did not talk about, and then came back up.
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 02:02 am (UTC)"You've never asked," he said quietly. Other people had, plenty, but Billy never really gave them an answer. Or, if he did, it was vague at best. Childhood injury.
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 02:07 am (UTC)“Sometimes people need their secrets,” he said. “Won’t make you give yours up if you need to keep it. But yeah. I’m asking about it, if you’re willing to tell.”
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 02:28 am (UTC)"I was in group homes when I couldn't get into foster care. There was a guy that would come around, a volunteer. He'd play pick up games with us, we all thought he was so cool. I guess I was ten, eleven."
He paused; the corner of his mouth twitched, almost like a smile, but there was nothing behind it.
"When a grown man tells you you're pretty, you know there's nothing good coming next." He pulled away a little, rolled onto his back so he could stare at the ceiling. "I went after him with a stickball bat. He got pissed off, broke my arm. Ripped my rotator cuff in three places."
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 02:46 am (UTC)He was mad at a man he was never going to meet or see. Furious. Ferociously, insidiously angry that some son of a bitch had thought he could put his hands—not just on Billy Russo, but on a child. It hurt because it was Billy, because he could look at him being far away and he could see the scars and he could feel him pulling back, but it made him mad because it had happened to a child.
“Jesus,” he said, because what else was he supposed to say? Then, viciously and because he couldn’t help himself, he growled, “I hope he fell on the third rail and fuckin’ fried.”
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 03:59 am (UTC)Billy huffed a laugh but there wasn't any humor behind it. He could practically feel Frank's rage simmering next to him. That was the only thing that made him glance over, daring eye contact again.
"Wish I could, man. I don't know what the fuck ever happened to him."
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 04:32 am (UTC)He looked at him then, eye to eye, and ran his fingers over Billy's profile, along his cheek and down to his jaw. He leaned in and kissed his forehead.
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 04:39 am (UTC)"That uh, completely kill whatever this is?" he asked as he gestured between them, trying desperately to make light. Because he couldn't cope with the idea that revealing this thing might have scared Frank off, or might have changed the way Frank looked at him.
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 12:36 pm (UTC)He was quiet a moment. He wasn't good with words, especially not about important things, and this was an important thing. When he spoke, it was sort of fumbling.
"You tell me if I fuck it up. If I make you feel...you know, if things are too much. And I can stop calling you pretty and shit, yeah? Just--I'm dumb as shit, Bill, you know. I'm dumb as a fuckin' rock, you gotta tell me."
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 01:08 pm (UTC)"You can call me pretty, Frankie. And I'll tell you if I can't take it." Because they could do that, right? If he said it was fine now and changed his mind later, Frank Castle wasn't an asshole.
Billy turned toward him, looked at him. He cracked a little grin. "You're not that stupid, Frank Castle. I know that cause Maria wouldn't've fuckin married a total dumbass and I wouldn't be trying to have conversations with you if you were."
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 01:50 pm (UTC)He leaned his forehead against Billy's and was quiet for a long time, just breathing, letting all this weight and heaviness settle. Things did not feel imminently changed. He did not feel like Billy was more fragile, like he needed to be handled differently. Really, all he felt like was finding some kiddie-touching asshole and tearing him to pieces, just absolutely destroying him.
Frank smudged his thumb against Billy's cheek, almost to his nose. He tilted slightly and brushed his mouth, chaste, against Billy's. "Love you." It was barely a whisper of the words, but it felt noisy in the quiet of the apartment.
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 02:22 pm (UTC)But he still didn't know what to do with those words. He'd been protecting himself from them for a long time.
So he smiled, weak and vulnerable as it was, and tried to laugh. He wanted to make a joke but he couldn't. He couldn't bring himself to cheapen what Frank just gave him. So he touched their heads together and gave Frank a quiet kiss. It was the best he could do.
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 03:16 pm (UTC)Frank shifted his arms slightly, pushed Billy bodily to adjust them so he could hold him more comfortably. Billy was taller than him but that didn't matter; he was going to hold him close and put Billy's head on his chest, and Billy was just going to have to deal with it.
"Go to sleep, baby," he murmured. "It's been a long night. I'll still be here when you wake up."
no subject
Date: 2018-08-01 03:49 pm (UTC)"You better be," he said quietly. "Even if I have fuck all for breakfast."
