*******

No one who knew him would call Doyle sweet.

Tart was more like it.

Sharp tongue, cutting wit. Toughness as much metal as mettle.

His body was like that too, all angles and edges. Hard muscle shielding harder bone.

But Bodie knew how to pierce Doyle's armour. He would press his partner close, absorbing Doyle's anger, his restlessness, the thing inside him that never knew enough.

When it all got too much, Bodie would hold him, whispering, "Easy, mate."

And secure in Bodie's arms, Doyle would surrender, as he would to no other. His armour vanishing, revealing only a man.

I was surprised more people haven't commented on the various meanings of tart. It struck me that way too. Though that wasn't my original intent.

And I'm pleased beyond all measure that you got a tad blubby about Doyle in Bodie's arms. I like to think about how these two might be when they're alone.

But then I imagine most of us do. ;-)
