Falling
By Poison Ivory
 

He tumbles into Tristan when things get rough. When Siegfried's particularly thorny, or the job turns ugly, or when Helen pinches his heart in that way she can't help but do, he seeks comfort in rough black hair and boyish dimples and lazy, sunworn limbs.
 

But now even a spot of bad weather sends him hurtling through the connecting door and into Tristan's bed, and he knows he ought to stop it now. He's sure Siegfried knows, and maybe even Boardman, and sometimes he almost doesn't care. Tristan's bright as sunlight, and uses silly words like "love," and makes him forget the hard knocks. And someone's heading for a fall here, and James isn't sure who the crash'd be worse for, but till someone hits the ground falling's enough like flying that he doesn't really mind.
