 Bodie sprawled bonelessly on Doyle's settee. He was currently shirtless
and still quite blood stained. Doyle hovered over him, inspecting the
wreckage.

"You've done yourself a mischief you have."

Doyle poked around Bodie's battered nose. It didn't look to be broken,
just a bit mashed. He dropped a bag of ice over the worst of it.

"Get some nice licks in did yeh?"

"Shut up, Doyle."

Bodie hated the ice pack. It was too cold. He flopped his head around
causing it to fall on the rug with a crunch. Doyle smiled indulgently and
picked up the ice pack. He gently returned it to where it would do the
most good.

"You are a mad fool, aren't yeh?" Doyle smirked.

"Easy on the fool part."

"Right well, at least you admit to the mad. Right amazing you were,
standing there in front of Cowley all bloodied up. I thought he was going
to have a stroke."

A gurgling snort issued from beneath the ice pack.

"I think he liked it."

"What, Cowley?"

"Yeah. Never know what people are into, do you?"

"True enough."

Bodie sighed and ran a hand over his chest. Gooseflesh pimpled up in its
wake. He shivered slightly. Doyle's gaze lingered hotly.

"Get us a shirt, Sunshine? I'm going all frosty sitting here in the
altogether."

"Not till you're clean, mate. I don't want your blood all over my gear."

"Not my blood, Sunshine. Didn't lay a hand on me."

"Oh yeah? Where'd this come from then?"

Doyle tapped a long finger against a blackening welt. Bodie let out a
yelp.

"Mind where you poke. I'm delicate."

"Yeah yeah, like a fine piece of machinery. Heard that before. Let's have
a look at your crank case, shall we?"

Doyle handled Bodie lavishly. He poked and prodded until he was satisfied
there was nothing more serious than some heavy bruising. He noticed
Bodie's breathing had got a bit more ragged.

"Sure you're alright?"

Doyle smiled as he looked into his partner's glittering eyes. He leisurely
trailed one hand over Bodie's muscular thigh. The resulting twitch and
sigh were enough to confirm his suspicions. Oh yes, this could indeed be a
great deal of fun.

"Yeah, I'm sure, Doyle."

Bodie swallowed hard and tried to regain control of himself. He shifted
his leg away from Doyle's hand.

"Well, I think you're all right too."

General mischief danced across Doyle's face. He straddled Bodie's lap and
took his partner's face in both hands. Bodie stiffened in more places than
one.

"But let's have a look at those eyes, my son. Chance of concussion and
that, hmmm?"

Doyle moved the ice pack from Bodie's nose to balance on his naked chest.
The sudden shock of cold on his now overly warm skin made him shiver,
causing the ice pack to slide farther down. He inhaled harshly as the cool
wetness turned his nipple into a small aching pebble.

"Too cold on your delicate parts, eh? Warm them up again shall I?"

Doyle tossed the ice pack out of the way. He breathed across Bodie's chest
then began to massage him lightly. A strangled noise resembling "Oh
Christ" escaped Bodie's lips. His hands clamped around Doyle's wrists and
held him fast. They both did nothing but breathe heavily for a few
moments.

"I thought you were checking for concussion," he finally managed aloud.

"Just getting your circulation going."

"Yeah, well, right, you done that."

Bodie sighed and flopped his head was back over the top of the settee. His
eyes slipped shut again and his grip on Doyle's wrists loosened. His long
expanse of white throat showed bruises and cuts. It was the same down over
his shoulders and chest. Bodie's muscles sagged. Exhaustion was winning
over sexual tension, but Doyle found he couldn't resist one last torment.
He shifted in Bodie's lap, pressing them more closely together. He clearly
felt the awakened interest pushing back. He patted Bodie on the cheek.

"You miserable teasing sod," Bodie ground out, too tired to retaliate
further.

"Teasin' am I?"

"Aren't you?" Bodie's thoughts grew confused. He took refuge in the usual.
"Oi, I thought you didn't want my blood all over your gear?"

"I don't. Right then, lets get you out of all this and into the bath."

Doyle scrambled up and disappeared into the bath. Bodie groaned and heaved
himself up. He adjusted his semi-alert cock and addressed it severely.

"Enough out of you tonight."

"What?" Doyle's voice carried even over the bath filling.

"Nothing."

Bodie made his way to Doyle's bath with great effort. Fighting Krivas had
drained him emotionally and he didn't think he had had any of those left
to drain. And now Doyle was acting out. Stupid teasing bastard. He must
know then.

"That obvious is it?"

"Yes it is, you dumb crud."

Bodie jumped when he realized he had spoken aloud. Doyle herded him into
the bathroom and threw towels at him.

"You're dead on your feet mate. Obvious enough for anyone. Now get in that
bath before you fall in. And don't drown on me."

The door slammed shut. Bodie snapped to. Orders were good. He liked
orders. So did his cock which twitched at him again. He sighed and
stripped. It hurt to move. He must be getting soft. The water was hot and
muscles he had forgotten about gratefully unclenched. He started awake to
pounding on the door.

"Bodie! up and out. You'll shrivel."

"Yeah alright."

The water had gone a bit cool. Bodie washed quickly and got out. Covered
in several towels and Doyle's robe, he pulled the plug and flung open the
door. His partner was waiting there, draped in the doorway.

"C'mon my son. Off to bed."

Bodie made to grumble but Doyle was having none of it.

"Bed. Now!"

Old reflexes died hard. The towels were on the floor and Bodie in bed
before his mind had processed the words. Doyle wandered over and smiled
down on him with sweetness.

"Sleepy byes now Bodie. I'm off to interrogate your friends. Cowley says
you're not to come."

"Good thing then. Too tired to come...." Bodie burbled at his own joke.

Doyle reached down and tucked him in. He ran a fingertip lightly over
Bodie's mashed nose. His partner was already asleep.

"Yeah, looks like you were."

Doyle patted Bodie's cheek and quietly left for headquarters.
