I saw a photo on tumblr the other day, and damned if I can find it now, of DCam sitting typing on a laptop on a really cheap and ugly single bed.

So now I want an AU where David is a geek who has given up on ever finding love (maybe he's had a terrible
divorce, maybe there is Great Tragedy in his past, maybe he's just never met the right person), and then a feisty cosmopolitan Liberal Democrat called Nick knocks on his door...

No, I couldn't resist that picture either - or the mental picture inspired by the comments! So thank you, anon commenters and OP, for getting my writerly brain working.

Without Hope of Change to Walk Forlorn

The picture

Completely engrossed in boiling down his final paragraph to something that was clear and concise without losing the main thread of his argument altogether, Dave only registered the steady sound of knocking after several minutes had elapsed.

Blinking, he looked up and realised that the bright promise of the sunny June morning had mutated into the warm grey of an overcast English summer's afternoon. Breakfast and lunchtime had passed and gone without him noticing, which was all to the good since there wasn't much that was edible in his fridge and larder, but -

- Shit. Someone at the door.

Maybe if he stayed quiet, whoever-it-was would go away?

No. Fuck it, Dave, don't be such a bloody coward.Even as he briefly considered hiding until the visitor had left, Dave was reluctantly putting his laptop down and making ( ... )

Aww! Bedsit!Clameron! The luxury of two mugs! The description of the flat is marvellous and Dave is wonderfully down-at-heel. I'm settling in for a good read here. :D

It wasn't like Dave had dreamed - it was so, so much better. So much more real... Nick's lips were dry and slightly rough on his, and Dave could smell tobacco on the other's breath, giving him a sudden, incongruous longing for the cigarettes he had given up years ago. Then Nick's hands were on his body, pulling up his old jumper, scrabbling their way under his shirt, sliding across his skin even as Nick's tongue demanded entry into Dave's willing mouth, and Dave groaned deep in his throat, arching his back. Sudden, imperative hunger clawed through him, setting his blood pounding, and he reached for Nick, wanting to feel Nick's skin under his hands, wanting to touch and taste and feel and smell and wanting it all nownownowHe fell back on the bed, pulling Nick with him so that they were back in the position they had been in barely minutes before with Nick's long, lean body pressing him into the mattress - but how different now! Nick's mouth devoured his; Nick's hands seemed to be everywhere, caressing and stroking - and then he palmed a ( ... )

Even as he spoke he was retreating in the direction of Dave's tiny but functional shower room, and Dave heard the hiss of his somewhat meagre shower start up. Hastily, trying to ignore the damp patch on his own jeans, Dave checked the electricity meter and put in a few more coins, just to be on the safe side, then while he was waiting dug out his spare pair of jeans for Nick - old and distressed, but still just about wearable - and found himself the pair of cut-down jeans he wore around the flat in hot weather when the place turned into an oven even with all the windows open ( ... )

I know David's situation is obviously a bit different here but his romanticism will always survive. I'm loving this fill so much!

Re: Fill: Geeky DCam picture prompt 6/11? ish. 01cheers May 22 2011, 22:10:20 UTC

I saw you ;)

Geeky Cam is unexpectedly sweet, and confident Nick is irresistibly charming. Lovely story! *looks forward to following 5-ish parts and tries not to drool*

F5ing like a complete nutter.
Bedtime? What bedtime?

Sorry, I lost my internet connection right in the middle of posting! Hope it stays up while I post the rest. I'd better warn you, though, it gets a bit angsty - well, just how has Dave ended up hiding away from the world up in his garret?

yeah, I figured someone might spot the inadvertent de-anon :-)

OK, next bit!

oOoAs Nick's voice trailed into silence Dave looked round, puzzled, and felt his mouth go dry. The expression in those grey eyes... The man was - was devouring him - he shifted uncomfortably, feeling heat rise as that burning gaze swept over him from head to toe, lingering pointedly at his tight, threadbare cut-offs ( ... )

Re: Fill: Geeky DCam picture prompt 8/11? ish. anonymous May 22 2011, 22:56:56 UTC

Jeans suited him, Dave decided dreamily, running an appreciative eye over the way the tight denim emphasised Nick's long legs and tight behind. The T-shirt looked pretty good too, pointing up Nick's strong forearms and showing teasing tufts of ruddy hair at the neck... greatly daring, Dave essayed a compliment.

“Those clothes suit you.”

“Not half as much as torn cut-offs and nothing else suit you!” was the retort. “Those things are frankly obscene, but - gosh, you look good in them!”

Fearing ridicule, Dave sneaked a look sideways and was relieved to see that Nick was smiling. Flushing, he looked down at his hands, busy washing the dirty mugs, and silently acknowledged that no matter how damp and unpleasant the denim felt on his naked skin, it was worth it if the cut-offs brought that hungry look to Nick's eyes every time.

...Every time? Was he really expecting to see Nick again?

No. Don't hope - don't ask -“Will I see you again ( ... )
