• “Have you seen my pinky ring?” Chris steps out of the bedroom, distractedly fastening a cufflink—or trying to. “I think I left it on the coffee table?”

    Zach is crouched down beside the table in question, on one knee as he ties his shoe. They’ve been booked into the hotel’s penthouse suite for the Korean leg of the Beyond press tour, and have taken to using separate bedrooms to shower and dress. He hasn’t seen Chris since they got back from the photo call to get ready for the red carpet, and well…

    Chris is dressed in a stunning ivory suit, the double-breasted jacket tailored so closely to his torso Zach wonders how he can breathe. The shirt is simple and white, open at the throat, revealing lightly tanned skin that sets off the color of his eyes with stunning clarity. Topping it all off is a splash of color, a pocket square peeking out like some kind of playful mouse. He looks so good that Zach is momentarily dazzled.

    “What?” Chris says, suddenly self-conscious. His hands drop to his sides, looking for a stain or flaw—it would not be the first time he’s gotten something on himself in advance of a premiere. “Did I get ink on me again?”

    Zach says nothing, just watches him move. How had he never noticed the grace with which Chris carries himself, the presence?

    “I don’t think there’s anything—” he looks up, his eyes filled with panic. “Is there?”

    Finally, Zach shakes his head, but says nothing.

    “What’s up with you?” Chris asks.

    “You take my breath away,” Zach answers simply.

    Chris is magenta in less than a second. “Man, shut the fuck up.”

    Zach smiles as he rises, lets Chris think he’s having him on. He knows what the truth is. And he’ll have the rest of the night to explain.

  • THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! No srsly, cuddling for warmth is a top five h/c trope for me and I have written reams and reams of it! This is so good!!! I love Chris burrowing up against Zach, that is so adorable.

    3. Age (can be roughly - 20s, 30s etc): 40s

    4. Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA

    5. How long have you been in Pinto fandom? Can it only have been three years?

    6. How did you get into it? Was BIG into space husbands starting in early 2011, so I missed the first wave of AOS fic. I loved the film but never really got into the fandom aspects until then. I started writing Trek in 2012 after reading it for about a year, then followed some friends onto Tumblr where all the gifsets and other Pinto shenanigans got me hooked. By the time Into Darkness came out, I was full-in, but didn't write until later in 2013

    7. What do you enjoy doing in this fandom? (writer, artist, fan vid creator, gif maker, reader etc) Writing, reading, epic tag-flailing

    8. What's your favourite Pinto moment so far? That damn MTV interview. All the loving glances, the small private smiles, the indulgent hearteyes, it's just too fucking much. Y'all know they banged before AND after, right?

    9. Anything else you'd like to add? I hate these fucking idiots so much, they ruin my life on the daily
