Austin quickly sits down next to Tim as he hears the winds outside picking up force.

"How long do you think this will last." He asks looking up at Tim with a frightened look. "Are you sure we're safe?"

"Depends on how big the storm is." Tim says with a shrug of his shoulders. "Yeah, we're safe. The only thing we have to worry about is the blowing sand. It could get a little rough."

Austin nods and wraps his arms around himself a little tighter, bringing his knees up to his chest.

"Everything will be okay." Tim smiles at the frightened man, thinking how small he looks almost like a frightened child.

Tim puts an arm around him and Austin instantly snuggles to his side, hiding his face into Tim's shoulder.

"You might want to put a shirt on, though. That sand is gonna feel like needles hitting you body." Tim says as he lifts Austin's face up so he could look at him.

Austin nods and crawls over to the suitcase that Tim had placed in amongst the rocks out of the main force of the wind.

He grabs a shirt from the luggage and quickly slips it on and places the luggage back where it was.

Tim chuckles to himself as he watches Austin crawl back over to him on his hands and knees.

"Don't laugh at me." Austin pouts as he snuggles back into Tim's side.

"I can't help it, you're cute." Tim laughs.

Tim does his best to shield him and Austin from the blowing sand as the storm begins to hit.

"Sh*t." Tim groans as the sand stings his arms. "That crap hurts."

He pushes Austin down so his back would be against the wall of the cave. Tim lays down next to him, grabbing a blanket and tucking it around them tightly so that the wind would not blow it off.

He pulls Austin closer to him and throws the blanket over their heads for protection.

"Is that better?" Tim asks softly.

"Mhmm, much better." Austin smiles as he begins to relax in Tim's arms. He could feel the heat of Tim's breath on his forehead. But most importantly, he could feel Tim's body pressed against his.

They lay in silence, listening to the winds howling through the cave. 

After a few minutes, Austin notices that Tim's breathing had become more relaxed.

"Tim?" He whispers. Raising his head a little, he tries to look at Tim's face but because of the darkness caused by the blanket over them, it was impossible. But he knew that the man had gone to sleep.

Austin lays his head back down on Tim's shoulder and slides his arm around the sleeping man's waist.

Tim squirms a little in his sleep to get more comfortable, tightening his arms around Austin pulling him even closer.

"You're right, Tim." Austin whispers with a smile as he closes his eyes to sleep. "This is much better."

They had only been asleep for about 45 minutes when a very loud clap of thunder echoes through the cave.

"Ahhhh!" Austin screams as he practically crawls on top of Tim.

"Whoa, there, Hot Rod. Where are you going?" Tim chuckles as he wraps his arms around the smaller man's tiny waist.

"That scared the sh*t out of me." Austin sighs, dropping his head on Tim's chest.

Tim laughs as he tucks the blanket back around them.

The vibrations in his chest cause a chill to go down Austin's spine, causing him to shiver slightly.

"Are you cold?" Tim asks with a furrowed brow.

"No, far from cold." Austin chuckles. "Getting a little overheated maybe."

"I can't do anything about that. If I loosen up the blanket the wind will blow it off." Tim says.

"Not that kind of overheating." Austin says softly as he gently rubs a thumb across Tim's cheek.

"Oh." Tim says as he realizes now what Austin meant.

He suddenly feels Austin's soft lips on his, taking him by surprise.

Tim runs his hand up Austin's back to the back of his head, pulling him deeper into the kiss. Their lips moving in perfect sync with each other.

They break the kiss, both trying to catch their breath.

"You're right." Tim says through heavy breathing. "It is getting pretty warm in here."

"You want to mess around?" Austin smiles, biting his bottom lip as runs his finger down Tim's chest all the way to the waist of his jeans.

A quiet moan escapes from Tim's lips.

He then chuckles softly as he grabs Austin's hand.

"I would want nothing more than to mess around with you. But can we wait for a better time." Tim smirks. "We're wrapped like a burrito in the middle of a hurricane and I can't even see your face."

"That's true." Austin laughs as he lays his head down on Tim's chest. "But you owe me."

"I promise." Tim chuckles.

"You're a great kisser, by the way." Austin smiles.

"Really?" Tim laughs as he runs his thumb up and down Austin's back. "It's not like I've had a lot of practice the last few years."

Austin raises his head and gives Tim a puzzled look, even though it was too dark to see his face.

"Would you be considered a virgin again?" He asks.

"What?" Tim laughs loudly.

"I mean it's been 5 years since you've had sex." Austin states.

"Over 5, but who's counting." Tim says with a shrug.

"Man, I bet you're tight." Austin says with a giggle. "Good thing I always pack lube no matter where I go."

"OH GOOD HEAVENS!" Tim says, covering his face with his hands.

Austin laughs as he reaches up to feel of Tim's hands covering his face.

"I can't see you but I could bet money that you're blushing." Austin says.

"No doubt about it." Tim says.
