Slow Dancing in a Burning Room


Chase had shown up late to rehearsal, again. "Late" by dancer standards, at least, which meant right under the wire, still pulling his hair back and only just starting his warmups when the director walked in, clapping her hands and calling everyone to attention and to take their places. They were about a month out from their production of Swan Lake, which was the ballet that was considered by dance critics to be their company's strongest production. The company director was trying to make this performance better than the years before, while still trying to finish securing the details of their next run. It was chaotic, and Chase thrived on it. Even as busy as he was with college, he wouldn't give this up for the world. In the studio, he was far more alive than he was in the classroom, even if he was taking it seriously. Medicine. Becoming a doctor. Not what he wanted to do with his life, but he couldn't afford Julliard teaching five year olds how to plie, even if he wishes that he could. His classes and rehearsals run rather tight together, and he knows that a number of the other dancers judge him for it, but Robert pretends not to notice.

Or it's the fact that he's slept with more than a couple of his coworkers. People get so jumpy about sex, about who's having it and who isn't. Chase likes sex, and he's never seen it as a bad thing, never really had the desire to hide his interest. Other people just lie about it.

Rehearsal isn't particularly remarkable, at least not in matters of routine. They start off in pairs, running through movements and lifts, contact and extensions, to the often repeated instructions of grace and evoking simplicity in movement. They work their way in broad strokes through the third act with their instructor tweaking arms and pulling legs and saying hold. The same as the past two weeks. They take a break, she pulls out a notepad and they start back on Act I, Scene I, reviewing sections she had marked in green pen. What was remarkable, at least to Chase, was seeing Greg in those black tights. He stared, not quite shamelessly. He looked away when the older dancer would look his way, watched him through his blond eyelashes. He had a boyfriend, more or less. There were very good reasons not to be looking. But he couldn't help himself, he never could, because there was just something about him, about the way that he looked, the way that he moved, and it caught his breath half the time, and it always made his pulse race. Chase was a little more awkward, a little distracted when he wasn't dancing. He walked into someone during a break when he went for his water bottle.

He tried not to be obvious, but that was one thing that the young blond was not very good at. Much like how at the end of rehearsal, when Greg went off to one of the smaller studios, Chase couldn't help following. Everyone else either wasn't interested or knew better. Either was likely. Chase was terrible at knowing better. He was young, impulsive, and pretty scant on self-control. So there he was,  leaning in the doorway, watching, his things still left behind in the other room. House usually wore loose pants, and the man was gorgeous. Older than most, but he made Chase have to struggle to try and not get a hard-on in the middle of rehearsal.

It didn't always work. He wanted to say something, but he didn't want to interrupt, so he just waited, watched. Quietly lingering while he stared.

It's not that he necessarily holds it against him. House understands wanting to pull away, needing to recede into yourself for a while when things start to go badly, but he selfishly wants to be let in, in whatever capacity he can manage. Maybe it's just dancing, but he can sense that it's more, that Chase wants a repeat of what happened last time but doesn't know quite how to say it or even maybe what it is he really wants. House can't remember the last time he slept with a virgin since he was one - probably not since - and he knows it's just asking for a world of trouble. He knows that's a huge part of Chase's uncertainty, but he also has a feeling there's more going on than he knows about.

House hadn't quite been prepared for Chase's reaction, though. The way that shiver isn't startled shock or anger at being struck, but looks damned close to pleasure, all things considered. Flushed and arching and for a split second, leaning into it, and the look on his face makes it clear that he's interested but not sure about this. Still, he manages to give himself away in the challenging press of words, asking if House is going to spank him over his knee, and there's something in the way he asks and the look on his face that tells him that he maybe thinks he wants exactly that.

Asking him now, when he's a useless ball of teenage uncertainty, is going to give him nothing, no answers at all. So instead, he decides to push and just watch him to see his reaction.

"Yeah," he says, "I think I'm going to have to."

He tosses his towel on the upright piano and pulls out the bench enough, and sits down on it and pats his lap, indicating that Chase come lay over him. When he's not quick to move, he just stares at him and says, "You're making this worse for yourself... you've got until three. One..."

And he's watching. If the look on Chase's face indicates anything like he doesn't want this, he'll stand up and leave, maybe maybe even apologize. But he's got this feeling that this might be exactly what he needs.

"Two..."

House is watching his face, watching intently in the wake of the demand he'd made. Is this alright or is he pushing too far? He doesn't trust Chase to answer right now. If he asked, regardless of what Chase said in response, House would almost invariably have to assume it was a flat denial because with the way he's being, he wouldn't be able to trust that a yes really meant a yes. It'd be just as likely to be a push back, acting out, challenging him to see if he'd dare try. Just going by his face is easier, by his actions, and there's nothing there that tells him Chase doesn't want this. In fact, he's flushed and there are subtle cues that give away that he wants this, beyond the simple fact that he moves in without much hesitation past that initial surprise, and lays himself over his lap.

"Good," he murmurs the praise softly, hand skimming over Chase's tights-clad ass, appreciating up-close the perfect division of his cheeks afforded by the obvious thong cut of his dance belt and some artful tugging of his tights.

"I'm glad you're at least capable of following directions..." he pauses, hand pulling away, and murmurs, "...ready?"

And he waits just long enough that he probably isn't, and spanks him. It's not hard at first, firm and perfectly aimed over one cheek, but nowhere near as hard as he wants to spank him. Then he pairs it with a second strike to the other cheek, just as firmly.

Well, that? That answers any lingering questions he had about whether or not Chase was really comfortable with this. House can't quite help the look he gives him at first, a mix of surprise and subtle amusement, because really it had had the desired effect - he'd broken through the young man's sullen refuse-to-talk exterior, even if what's underneath is sassy as hell.

"Brat," he calls him out, and if Chase wants it harder? Then harder is what he's going to get. The next blows are harder, not as hard as he's capable of, but it's giving him a taste of what's to come, back and forth from one cheek to the other. Maybe Chase isn't impressed still, but House isn't concerned about that. Maybe he'll push him for more, for harder, needle him about not doing the best he could - but House will get him to the point where he's not sassing back for more, but instead, squirming on his lap.

Chase glances back briefly, and House meets his eyes in that split second.

He won't be this mouthy when he's done with him, but at the same time he doesn't really mind the continued inability to keep his mouth shut. Nothing that Chase is saying has House questioning whether he wants to be here or not. He's just being a brat because he knows how. He's still reacting, body jerking as the spanks come harder, though not hard enough, not as hard as they could be coming. He's not squirming yet, but the sounds he's making giving away the fact that squirming probably isn't that far away.

Chase pushed, and House can't let that go. He has to push back. Chase's snide comment earns him a swift, harder spank that comes without warning, and another matching spank to the other cheek, like a quick punishment for talking back.

"I don't think you do know better... pull your tights down," he says, the tone of his voice leaving no room for argument but he's still watching, still looking for any indication that this is too much to ask.
the_house_rules: (nice ass)

[personal profile] the_house_rules 2015-01-10 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
It's fortunate that House is wearing a dance belt because it keeps the fact that he's getting turned on by this under wraps, lets him have a little distance from his own reactions and focus on Chase. That's not to say that he's not hyper aware of how he's reacting, of how watching Chase move in his lap and cry out loud and squirm as he's spanked makes him feel. There's a long stretch of silence and then Chase nods, reaching back to the hem of his tights and pushes them down slowly.

And House is just staring, waiting as he does it, watching as his tights inch down, revealing his unevenly pink ass. There's a second he thought that Chase had accidentally caught his dance belt, but it's no accident. He honestly can't quite believe his luck, but he's got this feeling that it's just as much a push as it is an obvious, if really quite abnormal flirtation. As if any of this was really normal.

Chase is giving more than he asked for, like this is some kind of game of chicken, but with spanking. Whatever House gives, he asks if that's all he's got, and when he asks, Chase gives him more, like he's so sure he's in charge of this. Maybe in reality he is, because House would stop the instant he had the feeling that this wasn't okay, but in the game, House can't stand for this kind of behavior. So he spanks him again, hard enough to leave a ghost of the shape of his hand on his cheek and it rings loud in the room as the music hits the end of the playlist and stops.

"I just said the tights... I bet you think you're cute, don't you?" he asks, pushing right back, and he spanks him again, hard on the other cheek.

He can tell that it's getting close to too much. Chase is squirming, shuddering, and it's just starting to be apparent that it might be getting close, in his breathing and in the strain of his laugh and his voice. He's still pushing... or maybe... maybe he's not. He thinks on it, on everything from the little laugh to the tone of his voice, almost shy and afraid to give too much away. It would almost be laughable to think about looking at the situation, that the boy with his tights around his thighs, who'd willingly offered to push his dance belt down too, is afraid.

"Maybe from this side, at least..." but there's an obvious smile behind his voice that says he's fucking with Chase just because he can, and it says that the answer there that he'd left unsaid is yes, that he does indeed think Chase is cute, but he won't just outright say it.

"This side isn't mouthy..." and then comes another spank from another angle, layering blows over his ass so there's a mottled pink that's beginning to spread.

He carries on spanking him. Sometimes they're harder, just to watch Chase jerk in his lap, feel the way he moves and squirms against his thighs, hear the sounds he makes as he takes everything House dishes out. He's moving a lot the darker pink his ass gets, the warmer it is to the touch, heat practically radiating off his skin, but that flutter of flirtation seems to have died down a bit. For a little while, House just gets lost in watching, but as the silence stretches on he's getting lost in thought, back on what he's noticed these past few days and the way that this silence is different than before. It's like there's more that the boy wants to say but he doesn't know how or can't figure out where to start. Or maybe that's House projecting, because he's not sure if he wants to try to pick up the flirting or touch on something real. Not that the flirting isn't.

He stops, hand coming to lay gently on one hot cheek, and he's just rubbing slowly, aware that it's probably not making it better really, but he just wants to touch and feel the heat on his skin and feel him squirm. And really, any excuse to fondle that perfect swell of his ass. When he speaks, it's quiet, almost musing, like he knows but he's still giving Chase the opportunity to tell him and elaborate on it.

"When did you start sleeping in the studio?"

He's listening and watching how Chase whines, how he squirms at just the pressure of his hand against his ass, and his free hand rubs at the small of his back gently, like he's trying to calm him back down. Even still, Chase is leaning into it, like he can't get enough even though it clearly hurts. And he's hard, even though it hurts, which House likes. It's interesting. He's so young, so inexperienced, and yet he's more aware of what he likes than many people his age are. House is enjoying the hot press of Chase's cock against his thigh through his tights, and really really wants to get him off again, this time so he can see his face, so he can watch him as he comes...

Then Chase answers the question, and House listens intently. It's been days, as long as he'd figured it had been, and he's just about to ask why when Chase continues and House listens, eyebrows drawn together in a frown. He's not surprised that things had ultimately gone poorly with Brett, and he wonders what happened to cause the breakup and he's selfishly hoping that it was because Chase didn't want to sleep with him. It's not that he's necessarily wanting to be able to be his first, because truthfully he knows just how wrong that can go, it's just that he doesn't want the end of the story to be how heartbroken he is over Brett. Brett doesn't deserve that much emotion, not by a long shot.

"You can stay with me," he says. He doesn't elaborate, doesn't say that he's got a sofa that pulls out to a bed because he doesn't want to make it seem like he'd say no to sharing the bed. Fuck, maybe House is the one who's in too deep here. He'd spent the last few days with his thoughts drifting back to Chase in quiet moments, after all, thinking about him, wondering...

"Couple days, couple weeks, doesn't matter... it's a half hour travel time from here, but it's not the studio."

He watches him move, watches how he shifts in his lap, how he lays his cheek against the piano bench, glancing back up at him, and in the wake of Chase admitting that he hadn't been able to sleep with him, that they'd tried but he got scared and that's why they broke up, House wants to rush and say that he doesn't expect Chase to sleep with him to earn a place to stay. It'd be a nice perk, but he's not going to push for more than he wants. He's an ass, but he's not a monster.

But he doesn't manage to get anything out before Chase continues, tells him he doesn't scare him and House stays quiet to listen. He rambles on, gets it all out in one rush of breath, and House can't help the little hint of a smile at what he says. Now isn't the time to tell him that Brett is not at all the kind of guy he wanted to settle down with, because the truth is that he isn't, either, and saying something now will hint that he thinks he might be, or should be. Instead, he quietly rubs a circle over Chase's sore ass, and just pats him gently.

"I think about fucking you, too," is what he finally settles on saying, and he feels as though there should be something else. Some explanation as to why Chase feels okay with him but not Brett, but it's nothing House wants to speculate on. So he fills the empty space with a spank, not quite as hard as before, but enough to smart on that bright, hot cheek.

The reality is that unless he'd made some offhandedly perverse comment simply to shock and offend, he very rarely says he wants someone unless there's intent. And they had absolutely established intent the other night, when dancing had turned into a hell of a lot more. Every time he strikes Chase and every time he squirms, it's tugging at the strings of his self control because he can feel how hard Chase is through the thin fabric of his tights, and his ass - as perfectly round and gorgeous as it was normally - was downright distracted now, mottled deep pink, near red here and there.

Then he's moving suddenly, and House isn't quite sure at first why, whether it was a good sign or a bad sign, but that's made clear very quickly as he moves, slipping out of one leg of his tights and crawling into his lap instead of draping across it, legs astride him. House's hands find their way to his hips practically without thought, resting there both as an excuse to touch him and to keep him from slipping off. Chase may be ignoring his erection, but House certainly can't, not with how it's pressed between them and his own erection trapped neatly in his clothes, well behaved only by circumstance.

Rather than dignify that with an answer, House brings a hand up to catch him and haul him in for a kiss. Not a chaste one like the last time, like that one Chase had initiated, but one that easily reveals just how true the statement is. He wants to fuck him. He wants to take him home and strip him bare and learn his lithe little body until he can play him like a piano, take him from squirming pain to screaming pleasure as easily as changing keys. While that one hand loses itself in his hair, the other slips around to cup his warm and well spanked ass. As if there were any question left, there isn't anymore.

God, it's so fucking tempting to just... keep pushing. But he doesn't have lube here, and it's not very private, and it's going to be Chase's first time and it shouldn't be rushed and frantic in a dance studio. There's a terrible nagging feeling in the back of his mind that's saying that being his first was an awful idea, that he's going to leave Chase messed up over this, if not now then later, eventually, when things inevitably went south. But the part of his mind in charge of making good decisions was overruled right now by the part that wanted to keep hearing and feeling Chase react. The teen is grinding on him, for Christ's sake. Is there a man in the world who could resist this? And yes, he's absolutely including straight men, because, well, look at Chase.

It takes a while, but he pulls back from the kiss and takes a deep breath before managing, "...this isn't the place for this..."

It's another few seconds of awkward, stumbling silence before he finishes the thought, fingers trailing through the strands of blond hair that slipped from the elastic hair tie. "You should come back to my apartment... we can pick up where we leave off..."

"I figured that out..." he murmurs against Chase's mouth, unable to hide the hint of a grin that's tugging at his lips. God, but Chase is gorgeous, eager and leaning into his hand like a puppy desperate for attention. But it's not just the want to be touched, a mindless need to find anyone willing to pay attention to him, but it's so focused that it's almost hard to believe. He's twenty years older than Chase, nowhere near as attractive as the younger men in the company... he knows there's more to him than his looks, but Chase is so attractive that he'd have to be stupid not to wonder at it.

"Okay," he says, pressing a kiss to Chase's cheek before he pulls away to go get dressed. Very belatedly, House realizes he should change too if they're going to be leaving. He's not riding the subway like this. Finally, he's up and moving for his duffel, and he pulls out a rolled up pair of jeans and starts to peel his tights off.
