Orange and White and Red All Over
Fandom: Reservoir Dogs
Pairing: Mr. Orange (Freddy Newandyke)/Mr. White (Larry Dimick)
Theme set: Alpha
Rating: R
Warnings: Slash, sexual situations, language, violence
Author’s Note: #29 quotes a corny old Kelly Porter song “My Secret Love”. There is no Kelly Porter. The song is actually from the film Grace Of My Heart by Allison Anders (a friend of Tarantino’s and one of the directors who worked on Four Rooms.) It was co-written by Leslie Gore, David Baerwald and Larry Klein and performed by Miss Lily Banquette.
#01 - Comfort
White cradles Orange to him stroking his hair, hands slick with blood, “I know it hurts baby,” he whispers, “but I promise you you’re gonna be okay.”
#02 - Kiss
If anyone in the department finds out about it he’ll say he let White kiss him but the truth is when White gave him that look Freddy climbed on top of him, straddling White’s lap, the steering wheel pressing into his back and that was the first time they kissed.
#03 - Soft
I must be getting soft, White thinks and wonders what he doing getting mixed up with some twitchy punk kid when there’s a job to do.
#04 - Pain
Getting fucked for the first time hurts a lot less then Freddy thought it would, getting shot a lot more.
#05 - Potatoes
“You okay kid,” Larry asks in the pancake house, “you haven’t touched your fries.”
#06 - Rain
Drifting in and out of consciousness Orange realizes he’s soaking wet and wonders if it’s raining
#07 - Chocolate
“We’d better go to your place,” Freddy says; he doesn’t want to offer Larry Count Chocula for breakfast, also his apartment is being watched.
#08 - Happiness
Between hooking up with Orange and the prospect of his cut on the heist White finds it’s an effort not to walk around grinning like a fucking idiot.
#09 - Telephone
“Those cops I blew away, that woman you shot; we’re both looking at serious hard time, I can’t exactly call 911.”
#10 - Ears
All White wants to do is cover his ears so he doesn’t have to listen to the screams but the kid needs him so he keeps talking, keeps driving, keeps hearing the anguished shrieking and moaning and wailing coming from the back seat.
#11 - Name
All that, Larry thinks, and I don’t even know the guys name.
#12 - Sensual
He undresses in front of White like he has no secrets.
#13 - Death
Freddy kills the woman in the car on reflex even before he feels the bullet she put in him.
#14 - Sex
He thinks of what Larry would do him if he found out he was a cop and clenching his teeth whispers “harder.”
#15 - Touch
In the pancake house he puts his arm across the back of Larry’s chair, a couple hours and he’ll be arresting the guy but for now he can't keep from touching him.
#16 - Weakness
Freddy wonders what’s wrong with him that he’s risking his job, maybe even his life messing around with this criminal.
#17 - Tears
At some point during the night he touches Orange’s cheek and finds it wet with tears
#18 - Speed
Telling lies and getting away with it works on Freddy like a drug: he’s exhilarated, almost manic, he doesn’t want to stop, he wants to go further.
#19 - Wind
When the wind blows his match out for a second time White steps forward with his zippo lighter, he’s been waiting for a chance like this all night.
#20 - Freedom
Everyone White was bound to by loyalty or love, everyone he owed or felt he had to look after he’s blown away: he’s a free man, freedom feels like dying alone.
#21 - Life
When White pressed the gun between his eyes Orange wonders if he would have told the truth if there’d been any chance of living.
#22 - Jealousy
“You’ll be going back to her when this is over I guess,” White says tapping Orange’s wedding band, “she’s a lucky gal.”
#23 - Hands
White’s has one hand on the steering wheel the other Orange is clutching the other so hard he can’t feel it anymore.
#24 - Taste
Usually White would go more for a guy like Blonde, the big, rough Robert Mitchum type; Orange is a little more boyish then he usually likes, a little too high strung and fragile.
#25 - Devotion
When Joe aims at Orange Larry levels his gun at the boss; everyone in the rooms wondering what the fuck he’s doing but none of them doubt that he’s serious.
#26 - Forever
No use making plans, Larry tells himself, the kids got a wife somewhere and anyways a guy like me doesn’t think in the long-term, I’ve lived my life body to body, job to job; For me, a couple nights is as close to forever as it gets.
#27 - Blood
Even when he leaves the room, even when he leaves the building, when he’s out moving the cars with Pink and Eddie Orange is still with him, begging for his help; the kid’s blood is on his shirt, under his fingernails and he has to do something or he’s never going to be able to get it off.
#28 - Sickness
He feels like a pervert because a part of him is turned on by Orange’s screams, his pain, and most of all his total helplessness.
#29 - Melody
There’s a corny old Kelly Porter song playing on the radio, during the voice over where the music swells and she says “we are actors in a heartless play, I smile my smile and play my part and forever hide my lonely heart,” he momentarily feels Orange stiffen in his arms.
#30 - Star
He feels like he’s a little kid busting his ass trying to get a gold star for something- being a good cop, being a good crook, being a good lay- he doesn’t even know any more what he’s supposed to be.
#31 - Home
He catches a glimpse in the mirror of somebody he doesn’t know, a guy dark glasses and a suit, Larry’s boy; “Freddy Newandyke doesn’t live here anymore,” he whispers.
#32 - Confusion
Freddy's not sure if he really cares about Larry or if he’s just getting off on how completely he’s got the guy fooled.
#33 - Fear
He’s telling Orange everything’s going to be fine and meanwhile there’s a fear inside him so cold, so dark he doesn’t know how his heart can still be beating or how he can breathe.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
The gun’s go off, White’s, Joe’s, Eddies; It’s like a spring storm, a momentary explosion of thunder and lightening leaving behind silence and heavy damage.
#35 - Bonds
Joe’s his friend, He and Larry go back years but if he can’t trust Orange he can’t trust himself.
#36 - Market
Pink’s corners Orange to deliver a dissertation on how theft is just an extension of the free market economy and he finds himself actually listening because if he applies Pink’s logic Larry isn’t a bad guy at all, he’s just an entrepreneur and it’s a helluva lot easier to justify sleeping with an entrepreneur then a scumbag crook.
#37 - Technology
Orange sort of smirks when he sees the 8-track player in Larry’s car, apparently he’s not what you’d call a technically savvy guy.
#38 - Gift
He thought he was playing it so cool, keeping everything from Larry but now there’s nothing left to give him but the truth.
#39 - Smile
As Joe and Eddie are getting up to leave the other guy, Mr. White they called him, flashes Freddy this smile and he knows that this guy at least has bought his act hook, line and sinker.
#40 - Innocence
“I’m almost 30,” Freddy tells him, “I’ve been around; you think I’m some kind of wide eyed little boy or something, but I’m not.”
#41 - Completion
It’s over now and they’re kind of together.
#42 - Clouds
He tries to tell himself he did not fuck up, that the thing with Larry had not clouded his judgment; that there was no possible way of knowing that Blonde would go off like that.
#43 - Sky
Those blue eyes are the closest he’ll come to ever seeing the sky again.
#44 - Heaven
Freddy kind of believes in God, he has a cross hanging on his wall but the poster of Silver Surfer zooming through the stars is a little closer to his idea of heaven then angels or any of that shit.
#45 - Hell
It’s like this nightmare scene out of a Sam Peckinpah movie, White with a .45 in each hand blowing away the policemen while Freddy stands there transfixed, unable to move, unable to do anything but watch it happen.
#46 - Sun
The bullet knocks Orange to the ground, flat on his back looking into the sun; even with his dark glasses it’s almost unbearably bright and burning.
#47 - Moon
After White lights Freddy's cigarette he asks if he can give him a ride somewhere, take him anywhere; the dark parking lot’s pretty much deserted and Freddy’s not sure if it’s anxiety or excitement but his hearts beating fast and he can’t even speak, just nod, yeah, fly me to the moon.
#48 - Waves
The pain washes over him in waves, relentless, buffeting waves each one colder then the next.
#49 - Hair
The care, the tenderness with which White combs his hair is almost but not quite enough to make Orange back off with his demands for a doctor.
#50 - Supernova
Three little words, “I’m a cop,” and everything goes red, everything goes white, everything goes black.
