_ Chapter 2: A Stormy Surprise _
'Ugh, I hate rain,' Elmo grumbled as he unlocked his apartment door and stepped inside.
'It's really coming down out there,' Drake whistled as he looked out the window at the lightning streaking the sky. His little car was certainly getting a wash tonight.
'Thanks for giving me a ride home, Drake. Are you sure you want to go back out into that storm? The couch pulls out into a futon if you want to spend the night,' the rat glanced over his shoulder at his boyfriend and waited for an answer.
The duck sighed as a bolt of lightning slashed down from the sky. He was tempted to accept Elmo's invitation to stay over, but there was Gosalyn to consider. Of course, he could always call the Muddlefoots and ask if they'd mind if she slept over at their place. And it was Friday, so he didn't have to worry about freshening up for work in the morning.
Elmo blinked as his boyfriend picked up the phone and proceeded to arrange for his daughter to spend the night at the neighbours. The thought of having the adorable duck to himself was enough to charge his blood, but he'd let Drake decide if he wanted to sleep alone or in his bed tonight.

Drake yawned and gave in to the urge to lean closer to his boyfriend's relaxed body sitting next to him on the couch. He thought he saw a flicker of red grace the other man's cheeks before a tanned arm wrapped around his shoulders and pulled him close. Silence stretched between them as they both pretended to still be interested in the movie playing on the small TV screen in front of them.
In the end, it was Drake who made the first move. A simple melding of beak and lips soon led to a hurried, almost frantic, rush into the adjacent bedroom. Clothing was removed quickly and thrown haphazardly onto the floor with barely another thought. Fingers stroked through ivory feathers, lips pressing tender kisses to every inch of the duck's well-toned body as they lay together on the bed.
No words were exchanged, just gasps of pleasure mingled with a touch of pain. Drake couldn't remember when he'd last been with another male, but soon his body was responding in all the right ways. This is what he'd been missing when Morgana had been in his life. But here, with his old classmate-turned enemy-turned co-worker-turned boyfriend, he felt safe.
The rush of pleasure came quickly; the air filling with choked cries as they clung to each other in the darkness. More tender kisses and soft touches were exchanged as they finally pulled apart, only to snuggle up together under the warm blankets.
'Drake...'
'Yes, Elmo?'
'Goodnight.'
'Goodnight, Elmo.' The duck nuzzled the bare chest beneath his cheek, lulled by the sound of his lover's heartbeat as the rat drifted off to sleep. A smile of contentment stayed on his beak even as he followed his boyfriend into the dreamworld.
