Notes: Written for the "Dan/Casey, inevitable" prompt for rat_jam. (cross-post)



Dan had known this was inevitable for some time. He'd started thinking it might be in the cards not long after meeting Casey and knew it was a sure bet a few years ago. He hadn't known when and had no idea that tonight was the night until he'd shown up for work and found "casual touch" Casey replaced by "outright groping" Casey. After that, it'd just been a matter of getting through the day and not tearing each other's clothes off until they were back at Dan's apartment.

Casey twisted underneath Dan, grinding up to meet him and rambling about how long he'd wanted this, wanted Dan. He shuddered when Dan took him in his mouth and gasped his name in a way Dan had never heard before but had spent many nights imagining. Dan took his time tasting Casey, revelling in the moment he'd long been anticipating.

Dan woke and found himself alone, Casey having skipped out in the night to slip back into his role as loving father and husband. At the office, he found "casual touch" Casey and they went to work with no mention of the night before. This, too, Dan had known was inevitable.

Well done. You draw it out perfectly. Oh, "casual touch" Casey. Don't you know Danny doesn't take much casually?

Don't you know Danny doesn't take much casually?
Nope. It's about another 4 years after this snippet before Casey realizes that. And then Casey remembers all the casual touches and offhand remarks he's made over the years and realizes what they all must have done to Danny. And then Casey makes it up to Dan. Using his tongue.

And thank you!

Well, at least Casey knows how to mend the error of his ways.

wow, I like this nearly as much as the fic!

Aw. Danny = so lovely. Casey = such an ass, half the time. And I'm being generous here.

I kinda feel bad for Casey. While he definitely has his assy moments, I think I write about them waaaaaaay more than half the time. At least I was good to him in the other one.

"outright groping Casey" made me giggle, but the rest made me wince.

poor, knowing Danny . . .

*hugs poor, knowing Danny*

Although... if he knew going into it what was going to happen and still went along with it... I still feel for the guy (I always feel for Danny), but he half-deserved the result. I'd feel worse for him if he thought it was going to be all hugs and puppies and didn't realize where he stood until the next day.

Oh, but if you really, really want something (someone), you always deliberately blind yourself to the consequences. 'It won't be like that', 'it won't be as bad as that', 'this time it'll be different', 'I can handle it', 'I'll deal with that when it comes'. Still hurts like buggery (as it were), though.
