Eventually, Dallas dislodges himself from Bain’s grip.

He is about to ease Bain’s cock free from inside him when the door bursts open.

“Right Bain, don’t try to talk me out of this, let’s do - Dallas!” Dallas turns. Locke is standing in the doorway, his usual fatigues replaced with a suit (although he still wears the beret). In one hand he holds a bottle of champagne, and in the other, two drinking glasses. His mouth hangs open in genuine shock, eyes taking in the sight of Dallas sitting on Bain’s very naked bottom half.

“Uh. Hi, Locke.” Bain says, in a voice small and suspiciously normal.

Locke splutters, glancing between Dallas and Bain. Then his brain clicks back into action, and he offers the champagne.

“Ah, this? I - I got this for you two! Enjoy it! I’ll just put it... here…” Locke steps over to the chair, blinkering himself to the clothes spread across the floor and naked bodies next to him. 

“Right. As you are.” With that, Locke leaves the room and shuts the door behind him.

Dallas glances back down at Bain, who looks mortified. Is he blushing?

There was no other way to break the ice. “Something you wanna tell me?”

BAHAHA yeah. I'm a sucker for best friends to lovers, y'know?

For non-WolfHox pairings, I also like -

MasterTech (Wolf/Dallas) - I think as slightly older guys with more life experience than some of the other heisters, they'd make a cute couple. Not terribly common as a ship but I have seen some fanart for it, so it's not super rare I guess.

MasterFugitive (Hoxton/Dallas) - I don't love this ship per se, but I'll read it. Hoxton's imprisonment also introduces the possibility for angst if you're into that, but it could be a slow building of trust again thing, too. Lots of potential here.

MasterGuide (Bain/Dallas) - I really, really like this pairing. Again, as older, more experienced fellas they'd make a compelling couple. There's a mutual respect that develops over time, I think, and that's important. Confidante? More like confiDATE. Heh.

MasterGrinder (Sokol/Dallas) - I also like age-difference relationships. They're at very different points in their lives so it might not work out long-term (or maybe it would, who knows?), but they're both very handsome. @neomineom has done a lot of great fanart for this pairing in the past and is a very talented artist.

Chains/Houston (I don't think there is a standard ship name for them). Now, I am not a huge fan of Houston (gasps). But I think they make a cute couple. Again, @neomineom did some art for this pairing a while ago which was also really excellent. Don't see much content for this pairing generally, though.

As for rare-pairs, ehh... does GolfGuide (Locke/Bain) count? I think I suggested this pairing as a joke but eh, I could imagine some fuck buddy situation with these two.

I am both perturbed and intrigued by a crack!pairing of my own creation: UkrainianChicken (Vlad/Jacket). I wanted to create the most chaotic pairing I could think of and... well, that's the result.

Honestly, though? I'd probably give most pairings a read. I feel like I've read most of the fics for this fandom on AO3 at this point. These are the first ones that come to mind, though.

So, you may be wondering: Yado - who do you think of when Paula Abdul's Cold Hearted Snake plays?

Why, Vernon Locke of course.
