Tristan

By the time they reached the motel, no one was in an especially good mood. June was uncharacteristically quiet, while Dane had once more lapsed into silence. Tristan couldn’t blame them. The clock was running down rapidly, and Dane had just been forced to face the ugly reality of someone he cared deeply about.

Thankfully, getting the rooms was a quiet affair, though June had shoved the card to the room Dane and Tristan would apparently be sharing into his hand with more force than necessary. Then she grabbed the bag of things each of them kept with essentials for an overnight stay and marched toward her room on the first floor, diagonally across from their own second-floor room.

“We don’t have any spare clothes that’ll fit you,” Tristan told Dane as they watched June march off toward her room. “But unless you want to smell like motel soap, you can use mine.”

Dane sighed. “We should probably change our bandages after we’ve showered, to be honest. Sleep sounds wonderful, but a decent shower sounds even better right now.”

Tristan nodded, bending down to pull out the first aid kit he kept under the passenger seat. It was nowhere near as impressive as the one Dane kept in the penthouse, but it would work for replacing their bandages.

They mounted the steps, and it took a few attempts before the card reader accepted the card June had given him. He pushed open the door, switching on the light. The lamp flickered to life, though the sizzling sound he could hear told him the bulb wasn’t going to last much longer. There was a crack in the wall, and the carpet was so thin it might as well have just been a bare floor.

“Well,” Dane said as he sidled into the room. “Maybe just a shower. I’m not banking on a decent shower.”

Tristan motioned toward the bathroom near the back. “By all means, go first.”

He handed over the bag to Dane before sitting on the edge of the bed. It creaked dangerously, and Tristan waited to see if it was going to collapse under him. When it didn’t, he let himself relax as the sound of running water echoed out of the open door.

Dane appeared, clad in only a pair of boxer briefs as he rummaged through the bag. “How long do you think it’ll take June to find anything?”

Tristan’s eyes stuttered over the man’s body as he tried to think of a response. He had always wondered how a man clad in underwear was somehow more enticing than a man completely naked. It was doubly true with Dane, especially with the old scars on his back, stomach, and a couple on his legs. As well as the wounds from their recent bout and the faint red marks on Dane’s shoulders. The image sent a wave of heat through Tristan, making him flex his fingers in memory.

“If there’s anything to find, it hopefully shouldn’t take her long,” Tristan said as his brain cells finally managed to connect to one another.
