Waking fantasy on the last morning in town

I wake up, and S7 Lucas, he of the bizarre behavior the last few days, is in bed with me.

I roll over to face him, and he buries his face in my bosom.

“Whoa,” I say. “I almost never have sex with you in my fantasies, and when I do, it’s in your season 9 incarnation. And it’s Porter who almost always appears for morning sex. You offer too much angst for the beginning of the day. It tires me out, dealing with your damage. I can only really handle you when I’m falling asleep.”

He says nothing, but continues to nuzzle. I give in and start to stroke his hair back from his face.

“I’m glad you’re not crouching in the corner, snarling at me,” I continue, “but what has been up with you?”

He looks up at me, his eyes in pain, but still says nothing. Then he buries his face again and mumbles something. Eventually he works his mouth up to my ear, and I hear him whisper, “you have to get us out of here.”

“I’m working on it,” I say.

“No. Now! You have to get us out of here, now.”

“Don’t you trust me?”

“No. You’re the one who got us here in the first place.”

He rolls over, gets out of bed, and parks himself in the corner again, staring defiantly at me.

“You think I’m damaged. That I can’t let go of the past. But I’m not the only one.”
