Hey.

Can't sleep. You awake?

[ Probably not the best time to be catching up with Murphy past 1am, but here we are. ]

[mofi]

[ Don't worry, Bellamy. 1am is considered early in Murphy's book. It's about 1:10 when Bellamy gets a response back.]

no rest for the wicked
or whatever the hell.

whats up?

[skaikrudad]

I've not really asked you much about the future.

[ He's been a little afraid of Murphy's answers, mostly in regards to Octavia... ]

Is my sister okay? Does she survive?

[mofi]

[ Murphy is hesitant. A lot has happened and Bellamy doesn't know most of it. None of them do. It's a burden he's bearing alone right now. God, Murphy wishes Bellamy was in his place. ]

yeah
shes alive.
you echo emori monty and harper go back to the ground
you get her out of the bunker.

[skaikrudad]

[ There's two names that aren't on that list and he can feel his stomach filled with dread. ]

What about you and Raven?

[mofi]

[ Murphy groans and gets up with his elbows. ]

didnt really wanna have this convo like this
raven and i are stuck on the prison ship
raven lied there was no escape pod for us.

and then them assholes showed up.

[skaikrudad]

A prison ship? That's where you were before coming here?

Hold on, I think I'm waking up my roommate with my typing. [ Damn it, he needs his own room. He starts getting dressed to go for a walk. ] Still here, just moving somewhere else.

[mofi]

how loud are you typing???
yeah
it just appeared. i saw it first.
we had enough fuel to go and say hello

nothing but a buncha prisoners in cryopods.
we used them as collateral.
didnt work.

[skaikrudad]

You just told me you came from a prison ship, so pretty damn loud.

Shit... I'm sorry, Murphy. We'll get you and Raven back, I promise.

[mofi]

i dont think u can.

[skaikrudad]

You're with Raven, remember? If the rest of us can't do anything, she'll figure a way out.

[mofi]

u dont know what we were dealing with
they came to us
they tricked u
i think our luck ran out

[skaikrudad]

It's not over yet. We've survived this long against the odds.

Besides, you're not called a cockroach for nothing.

[mofi]

[ Fine, if Murphy is going to tell anyone it may as well be Bellamy. It takes a moment for Bellamy to get a response back. ]

they put us in shock collars
they think raven hacked something
so they tortured us trying to get us to get info
i wasnt saying anything so they drug my ass to her
and the last thing i remember is feeling the cold from the nozzle of a gun on my forehead
so i dont know if i am alive or dead

dont u dare tell raven either
or clarke
or anyone
this stays between you and me

[skaikrudad]

[ Murphy, this is not something you tell Bellamy over text. ]

This stays between us if you get out of bed and meet me. Right now.

[mofi]

[ You think this would have been easier for him to say to you in person, Bellamy? ]

sure
not really like i have a choice now.

i guess meet at the elevator.

by the by emori broke up with me
and hates the sight of me

[skaikrudad]

I'm already there.

[ Waiting to meet Murphy for his pity party...

Jokes aside, he's ready to meet Murphy and be there for him, as much as Murphy won't want comforting. That's what friends do. Friends don't just try and go back to sleep after being told they had a gun to their head and broke up with someone they love. ]

[mofi]

great

[ Murphy isn't ready for this, he supposes it wouldn't ever be ready. Ironic how it's Bellamy who gets it out of him. Ironic how it's Bellamy who wants to talk to him and probably console him. It's a Bellamy thing to do. Part of Murphy appreciates it, like how he appreciated when he dipped into the other side of the ring. Oh, don't worry, it did piss him off. Sucker punched Bellamy enough times to get that message across, but that didn't mean he ignored Bellamy's attempts at bringing him back into the fold, back to where his family was.

That's something Bellamy doesn't know. Murphy isn't sure if he'll let him in on that secret. ]

Hey. [ It's the first thing he says when Bellamy comes into view. Stops when he's just out of reach. ] Okay so, I'm here.

[skaikrudad]

[ Bellamy steps towards Murphy until he's within arm's reach, reaching out with his hand to touch his shoulder, and he probably thinks Bellamy is going to initiate a hug with him.

But a hug probably isn't going to make Murphy feel better. And he doesn't know what to say either to make it better. Sorry Emori ended it with you? Sorry you might be dead in the future and it's probably my fault?

Bellamy is silent as he stares at Murphy, then he steps even closer to him, his hand moving to cup the back of Murphy's neck. It's probably a stupid idea thanks to lack of sleep, but maybe this is the best way to comfort him right now, when words or hugs won't work.

So he leans in and kisses him - gently enough that Murphy could easily pull away if he wants to - with no idea how Murphy will react. ]

[mofi]

[ Murphy was preparing for one of Bellamy's famous motivational speeches, that's why it took him a little bit to get to him. He's got that look in his eyes; a look. One that he's never seen on Bellamy before and it has his own eyes squinting, trying to figure out what his eyes were trying to say.

When Bellamy steps forward, Murphy is almost compelled to take one back. And maybe he would have if it weren't for the fact that Bellamy has his hand settled on the back of his neck. Suddenly his heart is pounding in his chest, Bellamy is leaning in and before Murphy could shoot off at the mouth, Bellamy kisses him.

A soft noise of surprise hum in the back of Murphy's throat. Surprised but has yet to pull away from this intimate moment. He lets it linger for a little longer, trying to remember the feeling of Bellamy's lips on his. ]

[skaikrudad]

[ It's funny how surprisingly soft Murphy's lips are. He really thought he knew all there was to know about Murphy until this moment. Bellamy's fingers slide up his nape, threading into the hair at the back of Murphy's head as the kiss lingers...

And then it ends, Bellamy pulling back with a somewhat surprised expression himself - even though he initiated the kiss - like he wasn't expecting to like that so much. His hand returns to his side.

Congratulations Murphy, you're Bellamy's first kiss with a man. Not that gender really matters right now. ]

Feel any better?

[mofi]

[ Murphy never really experienced Bellamy being gentle with him. He was damn good at that tough love sort of shit. Bellamy may have meant well but it sure as hell grated on Murphy's nerves. This, what they were doing now, is a side of Bellamy that Murphy often thought about.

He still has his eyes closed when Bellamy pulls back. They only open after a smirk curls his lips. ] Maybe a little better.

[skaikrudad]

[ It's true, Bellamy is damn well good at tough love, but he's also good at being gentle with those who deserve it.

Maybe Murphy deserves it right now. And maybe Bellamy owes him this for all the times he might have been too cruel. ]

Want me to keep going? [ So that 'little' turns into 'a lot'. Probably not the best spot to be doing this outside the elevators, but nobody's around anyway. His hand settles on Murphy's hip. ]

This is what you want, right? [ His stare is challenging, like he's daring Murphy to say otherwise when he knows the way Murphy was watching him when he was stripping at the party the other day. ]

[mofi]

[ Murphy lets out a soft breath. There's was this forbidden kind of feeling that Murphy always had with Bellamy. It's intense, fueled by anger, lust and things Murphy couldn't really comprehend. Slowly, Murphy draws a breath back into his lungs. ]

Do you want to stop [ ,Murphy pitches back to Bellamy. Yes, Murphy wants to keep going. The wolfish looks he had given Bellamy were more than obvious enough. Murphy was easy enough to read, always showing his emotions on his face. ]

Yeah, this is what I want. [ He finally gives Bellamy a definite answer, but not without a contemptuous smile. Murphy gets a little bold, moves his hands beneath the hem of Bellamy's shirt. Fingertips skate up his sides. ]

[skaikrudad]

Would I still be touching you if I didn't want to keep going?

[ Murphy knows him well enough to know when Bellamy doesn't want to do something. But right now his expression is nothing but curious, even excited as to where this could go and the potential it has to be enjoyable, if the kiss is anything to go by.

He tuts as Murphy's boldness but doesn't stop the fingers sneaking under his shirt to feel skin. ] I'm not taking my shirt off out here, just so you know. [ There will be no repeat of his strip show the other day for Murphy, at least not today.

But he does walk Murphy backwards until his back is against the nearest wall and Bellamy is pressing against his front, his body warm and solid against Murphy. He feels the outline of Murphy's cock through his pants and thinks, yeah, I can work with this, before leaning in for another kiss, a lot less gentle than the last. ]
