millie’s long list of malex fics | When You Walked In (the air went out) by el_gilliath / @el-gilliath

Alex doesn’t remember how it happened. He just remembers red eyes, a pain in his wrist, and waking up the next day in a bunk in Bahrain, a full-bird Colonel and his commanding officer sitting by his bed. It made him nervous then.It still makes him nervous now. 

While serving overseas in Iraq, Alex is infected with a rare local virus labelled VBT-01, whose symptoms include sensitivity to strong UV rays, most notably those at dawn, accelerated cell regeneration and heightened physical capabilities. Oh and a somewhat slightly inconvenient craving for human blood. But this virus isn't a stranger to the military and they help Alex manage his affliction, while using him as a weapon, until he's permitted to return home. Intent on living out a quiet, temptation free extended life in the desert with his suppressants, Alex instead finds his hard earned self control tested by none other than Michael fucking Guerin, the stupidly attractive nerd turned cowboy and the unusual scent of his blood.

tl:dr - Alex is a vampire and, being an alien, Michael's blood is like catnip to him.

“Let’s just say I had a very late night Arturo,” Alex Manes said with a chuckle. “I’m only now getting back in to town.”

Michael couldn’t imagine what look could have brought about Arturo’s comment. He certainly couldn’t imagine what could have kept Alex out so late. He was out of the military now, retired or so Liz had said. No orders or duties could have kept him out all night. It was pleasure then.

Michael didn’t really want to think too hard on that..

Michael is getting his life together and moving on. He is. He really really is. It’s just that Alex isn’t playing fair. Or, an excuse to write Michael thirsting after Alex.

comment: christi is very good at giving us fun, flirty fics. it can be a really nice break from the angst, and this is another of her fics that left me grinning so big at the end. if you love some (mutual, of course) pining that focuses on michael just squirming helplessly over alex and his decision not to play fair, this is a must read for you. and just in case people weren’t aware, there is a sequel written by the wonderful tove. go and give part 1 and 2 some love if you haven’t already!
