NOTES: This slash mini ficlet came about because a friend and I were discussing how some of the caps from 'This Old Gang of Mine' make it look as if Wesley is having to break up a fight between Angel and Gunn about which one of them gets to sleep with him first. Well, it looked like that to us, anyway. Caps courtesy of bka0711

 

Wesley could hear the sounds of the argument going on downstairs. He sighed as he unbuttoned his shirt and then hung it carefully over the back of the chair. He kicked off his shoes, pulled off his socks – balling them together so they wouldn't become separated – undid his belt – looking ruefully at the extra hole he'd had to make in it – then unzipped his trousers. By the time he had hung those over the chair as well, pulled off his boxer shorts and added them to the pile of clothing, the argument had clearly given way to the usual combat. Sighing again, he got into bed, sliding under the covers to await the outcome.

He could tell from the footsteps who the winner was, not to mention the way the entire building seemed to shake as the defeated combatant slammed the door on his way out. Wesley looked up as Gunn walked into the bedroom, the tall American looking simultaneously jaunty, triumphant, and ashamed.

Wesley sighed reproachfully. "Couldn't you two think of a better way to settle this? And what's wrong with some kind of rota anyway?"

Gunn was already pulling his sweatshirt over his head while simultaneously kicking off his shoes. "The vampire just can't stand to wait his turn, that's the only problem around here." He tugged at the laces of his trainers impatiently with one hand while unbuckling his belt with the other. Wesley couldn't help thinking that if he'd tried that particular manoeuvre he would have ended up somersaulting forward and giving himself a concussion but Gunn was now a past expert at getting himself naked in double quick time. He seemed determined to beat his personal best today, and was breathtakingly nude, muscular, and already aroused within a few seconds. He slid under the covers like a ruling champion but when he cupped Wesley's face in his hand and then kissed it, the movement was delicately tentative.

Wesley couldn't help smiling tenderly at the man even as he automatically responded to that practised gentle kiss. "Charles, I really am completely healed, you know."

"I know, I just…"

It was just one of those strange anomalies, that the vampire with super-strength always paid Wesley the compliment of assuming that his wiry human body could take a little passionate pressure, while Gunn persisted in treating him as if he were made from bone china and would snap if handled roughly.

"…couldn't bear to hurt you…" Gunn finished, nibbling at Wesley's lower lip.

"You never would." Wesley sighed. "Is Angel…?"

"He'll get over it." Gunn stroked his fingers through Wesley's hair. "And this isn't about him, remember? This is about you and me. All night long. He gets your attention tomorrow night and I get to sulk."

Wesley smiled at him. "I don't think the sulking is really necessary, is it? You know I love you both."

"Hey." Gunn kissed him again, as slow and tender as Angel was heated and passionate. "We accept we've gotta share. Nothing says we've gotta like it." Then he began to kiss down Wesley's body, licking and nibbling in a way that made him gasp and arch in response. Gunn grinned up at him from somewhere around his navel. "Although, right now, I gotta tell you, I'm not seeing anything wrong with this arrangement at all…"

As Gunn kissed on down his body before beginning to nibble between his thighs, Wesley had to admit that he couldn't see a great deal wrong with it either. There were undoubtedly worse things than having two tender skilful lovers each vying on alternate nights to prove that they were the most unselfish and devoted.

"Oh God…" As Gunn's skilful mouth got to work, Wesley closed his eyes, lay back and thought of everything but England, and how one day he was going to get Angel and Gunn to just share this bed with him at the same time and accept that the other was a valued friend. But until that happy day he was going to enjoy every minute of this turn and turn about arrangement. He just wished those two could think of a more adult way to decide who got to sleep with him than the inevitable bout of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'...

BWHAH! Oh I love this!! =) Though I have to admit that it took a few seconds for my mind to unmelt itself after the loveliness of those caps. Damn but they are all so so very pretty... *sigh* Very nice imagery of each pair, of the differences between Angel and Gunn. And also so very funny to see how in some ways they are also quite alike. Rock, Paper, scissors indeed... LOL!

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. :) That has to be the speediest bit of feedback ever! They are brain-meltingly pretty, aren't they? I find it very difficult to concentrate on anything else when my brain starts straying in that direction... Thanks again for the super-fast feedback!

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

hahaha -- indeed, what else COULD they be fighting about!

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Well, quite! Wesley is wearing jeans - nuff said. :)

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

I love your icons -- and man, I totally forgot that Wes started wearing that jacket in season 3. *suede jacket love*

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) A friend just bought me the storage for 100 icons package so I've been playing with them all day.

I hadn't realized he was wearing the suede jacket in S3 until I posted the caps either. I thought of it as being his PTSD jacket. Right there with you on the love for it, too. The S4 Hot!Slut!Wes Uniform is hard to beat. Also, every episode should involve someone nibbling Wesley's neck...

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

PTSD jacket!

love!

my favorite is that awful shirt he wears in "Couplet." I call it the ugly shirt of heartbreak. He clearly needs to move into his PTSD wardrobe.

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, yes, the blue and white check - that one was frightening. And his 'wino who lives in a dumpster' jacket in Loyalty. Some of his clothes were definitely a cry for help. (I was so excited the first time I saw Loyalty and Wesley's in the hospital with Angel, thinking 'ah hah, there are all these trained medical professionals around, they are bound to see that this man is having a nervous breakdown'. And then I realised that as he appeared to be co-parenting a baby with the disgustingly healthy-looking guy they would just assume that he was the one who'd been stuck with doing the nightfeeds...) He clearly goes through a period of very bad clothes decision while mid-breakdown and then snaps out of it once he's into the truly dark self-loathing and bitterness place.

Wesley must be the only guy in the world who coped with PTSD by becoming even more unfeasibly hot and suddenly learning how to dress well and be amazingly good in bed.

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure he was always good in bed.

Ask Gunn Angel Virginia.

[allhoneyboo.livejournal.com]

LOL! Cute.

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Rock paper scissors! Ha ha ha hah ha!

How is Angel ever going to get his turn. I'd expect him to overthink and overplay that game every time.

Can't Wesley say, "Fellows, there's plenty of me to go around," wink wink? Or something similar?

[hellespont.livejournal.com]

What a perfectly delightful concept! I think I have an Angel-and-Gunn-fighting-over-Wesley kink. This was funny and adorable, and I do dearly hope we'll get to see a night when Angel comes out on top...so to speak!

[lemony69.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, this was yummy. :)

...make it look as if Wesley is having to break up a fight between Angel and Gunn about which one of them gets to sleep with him first.

Wait, you mean they were arguing about something else? ;)

[lemony69.livejournal.com]

Hey, what's wrong with this shirt? *LOL*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ohhh kink alert kink alert! Gun and Angel sharing Wes? Er yeah, definitely a kink of mine - and the whole alpha male fight to know who'll spend the night? Hot! And I love the tenderness that ensued even *happy sigh*

Also I can visualise Angel's turn the nigt after and it's quite lovely as visual goes, too.

Finally, I do trust Wes and I know he'll succeed in making the two stubborn guys share him and his bed at the same time. And I would love to see that, too lol

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

LOL! It is interesting that he couldn't kiss before the battle with the Mayor and yet could, very well indeed, by the time he reached LA, when the only person we know who was intending to visit him in hospital was...Giles. He was darned good with Virginia when pretending to be Angel and with Lilah when she was pretending to be Angel...

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Awww! Now I feel guilty for making Wesley angst over the fugliness of his shirt! Love your icon!

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, that's a good point about Angel. Perhaps Wesley will prevail and they can draw up some kind of rota so that the Brooding One can get his fair share of Wesleytime?

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

I *know* I have a kink that way. :) Thanks so much for the feedback and I'll try to think of a follow up where Angel does indeed come out on top. *g*

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

Well, they may have been... Whenever Wesley is standing in between Gunn and Angel my mind kind of...goes to another place. Glad you enjoyed it and your icon absolutely rules.

[lemony69.livejournal.com]

Yes, he fell into a big shirt-angst-depression! He was so upset that it made him kidnap Connor. *LOL*

[elgrey.livejournal.com]

So *that's* why he did it. Nothing to do with the prophecy at all. If only Cordy had taken him shopping, so much angst could have been avoided. :)

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

see, now's the point where I have to get a word in for my OTP and point out that he and Cordelia kiss very well in "Parting Gifts." It was just the umm. . .stress of the battle. library setting. Proximity of Giles.

who knows.

oh hell, I have Wes/Cordy bad!sex fic floating around somewhere. I really want them to work, I'm just not sure how well it happens in this particular universe *g*

[lemony69.livejournal.com]

I think his hair, especially at the begin of S3, was even worse than his clothes!
