Author's Notes: Again, I have no taste for realistic anatomy or science! Nothing too wild, just that Mack is on the pill so he doesn't get booty-pregnant. No biggie, right? (And in case I really need to say it, Bear is 32 and Mack is 28.)

"Oi, why d'ya always pay for everythin'? I have money, ye know." Mack grumbled, toeing off his boots as he grouched at his boyfriend. Bear chuckled and shrugged off his coat before turning and grabbing Mack by his hips, tugging him closer and kissing the back of his neck as he tried to squirm away.
"Because I like spoiling you." He said, wrapping his arms around the ginger and kissing along his shoulder. Mack stopped fighting and melted into his touch, sighing when Bear's beard tickled his skin. He turned and wrapped his arms around Bear's shoulders, standing on his toes to kiss him.
"Show off..." Mack breathed, and much to his annoyance, Bear chuckled and leaned forward, dipping Mack dramatically and making him curse and cling to him, fearful of being dropped.
"Bloody arse!" Mack spat, clutching himself to Bear. "Set me down, ye git!" He pleaded, a flush creeping up to his cheeks. He and Bear had been dating for a few months now, but he still wasn't used to Bear and his confidence. The man thought he was invincible, and Mack, despite his best efforts, hadn't been able to find a single shred of evidence to the contrary. Unfortunately, Bear seemed to know all of his weaknesses already, and he used every opportunity to taunt and tease his lover.
"What? You scared, Mack?" Bear joked, loosening his grip and pretending to drop his boyfriend, who gasped and wrapped a leg around his hips to steady himself. Mack glared at him and opened his mouth, but before he could speak Bear was kissing him again, his beard rough against his face as he sucked on Mack's bottom lip. He groaned into the kiss and let his eyes fall closed as Bear devoured him. Bear pulled back shortly after and grinned at him, his brown eyes crinkling at the corners, and somewhere between his brain and his mouth, Mack's scowl lost its nerve and turned into a sheepish smile instead.
"Alright, ye've made yer point, love. Please let me up." He sighed, rolling his eyes when Bear winked at him. He stood and smoothed down his shirt, Bear watching him hungrily and making him flush.
"Want a drink, Mack?" Bear asked, jerking his head towards the kitchen. Mack shrugged and Bear clicked his tongue at him, motioning for him to have a seat on the couch. Mack sighed and sat down, stretching his denim clad legs and wiggling his toes as he got comfortable. The living room was clean, but lived in. There were pictures of Bear and his daughter hanging on the walls and a toychest in the corner full of little odds and ends for Tatem, whom he'd still haven't met. That was fair, though, since he and Bear hadn't even slept together. They weren't anything serious, despite Bear's hints at wanting more, and this was the most time he'd actually spent in Bear's house since they started dating. With a flutter in his belly he realized tonight would probably be the night he let Bear whisk him into his bed, and he felt his belly flip with nerves at the prospect.
"I'm out of beer so I brought you water," Bear said with a smile. Mack frowned at Bear's poor attempt at a joke and gladly took the amber bottle from him when he'd plopped down onto the couch beside him. They clinked bottles and took a few long swallows of their drinks, Mack swallowing down half of his before finally coming up for air. He smacked his lips appreciatively and turned to look at Bear.
"Thanks for tonight, Bear, it was great, as usual." He said, blushing as he took another sip of his beer. It was actually his favorite, and he was very touched that Bear had not only remembered which one he liked best, but had also decided to stock up on it in case he stopped by.
"You sound disappointed!" Bear mused, watching Mack grow more pink by the minute. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you wanted me to take you on a bad date!" He laughed and polished off the rest of his beer, setting the now empty bottle on the coffee table.
"It'd be a nice change of pace, yeah." Mack said, the corners of his lips twitching up in a smile. He finished his beer and sat it on the table before leaning into his boyfriend's side, sighing happily as Bear wrapped his arm around him.
"hm, well I suppose I could take you fishing instead next time, then teach you how to clean the fish!" He joked, leaning his head down to press a scratchy kiss to Mack's temple. Mack groaned and tried to move away, but Bear followed him over and leaned until he was pinning Mack to the couch, Mack's legs on either side of him as he laughed.
"Augh, no, ye beast, for th'last time, I'm not going camping with ye!" Mack wheezed, his arms pressing against Bear's shoulders as he tried to push him away, to no avail. He huffed and had no choice but to wrap his arms around Bear's shoulders as the other man began to kiss along his jaw, making him shiver.
"And then we could go hiking, right as the sun peeks out over the mountains, briiiight and early..." Bear continued, earning another pained groan from Mack. He chuckled and kissed his way up to Mack's ear, sucking the lobe into his mouth and scraping his teeth along the freckled flesh. Mack shuddered and groaned, turning his head and yanking his ear away from Bear's mouth.
"Yer the worst boyfriend!" he said, biting his lip to hold back a smile at the obvious lie. Bear laughed and attacked Mack's neck with hungry kisses, sucking red marks into his flushed skin, pressing his hips down into Mack's with a soft groan of approval.
"Oh, I know. I live to spite you, you know." he said, his hands wandering down to stroke Mack's thighs and pull him closer. Mack gasped when the bulge in Bear's jeans ground gently against his own, their cocks trapped by the denim but the pressure enough to make him buck his hips upwards wantonly.
"T-The worst..." Mack stuttered, his eyes falling closed as Bear began rolling his hips and grinding expertly against him, little ripples of pleasure tingling up his spine as his cock swelled.
