Victor Borkowski, known to the world as the Avenger Anole, opened his door to find his teammate, Thomas "Speed" Shepard on the other side, a hopeful smile on his face and a six-pack of beer dangling from one hand. There was also a fading handprint on one cheek.

"Nico threw you out again."

Tommy shrugged his shoulders, giving Victor one of his 'What can I say?' smiles before leaning forward to kiss him. The mutant let him, one hand coming up to run through Tommy's hair. Vic knew he should have been annoyed with Tommy. The speedster only came to him when he and Nico were split. But there was something very flattering about being the one Tommy turned to. He could have gone out and found any number of partners... but Tommy was here, with him.

Until he was gone, anyway.

They moved inside Victor's apartment, kissing with every step until they ran into the couch. They tumbled over the side, Tommy landing on the couch and Victor landing on Tommy. The beer rolled away, not that either of them cared. Tommy was pulling Vic's shirt over his head, and one leg was wedged between his thighs.

Victor buried his hands in Tommy's hair, wishing -- not for the first time -- that it was black.

When it came right down to it, that was why they did this. Tommy came to him because he was nothing like Nico, but Victor let Tommy do this -- use him -- because it was the as close to having Billy he was ever going to get.

It wasn't a healthy relationship. It wasn't really a relationship. They fucked when Tommy wasn't with Nico and Vic wasn't with someone else.

Victor unzipped Tommy's jeans, pushing them down over his hips. Tommy was licking and biting his neck and shoulders, his hands resting on Vic's hips. He ground against the mutant, making small, needy noises deep in his throat.

Victor rolled off him, pulling Tommy off the couch and towards the bedroom as he wondered if Billy made those noises during sex.

marvel, x-men, young avengers, that damn mpreg
