Summary : Written as a belated birthday present for the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] cordeliadelayne. The prompt was champagne.

There were some days in their job when everything they dealt with was larger than life and this had been one of those days.

It had started at the crack of dawn with a call out to evict a bunch of over-grown beavers that had made themselves at home in the middle of the Serpentine. To everyone’s amusement, it was Cutter who managed to fall in the lake rather than Connor.

Cutter blamed a Yorkshire terrier. The dog’s owner blamed Cutter. The dog blamed everyone in a ten mile radius.

Abby tried unsuccessfully to keep the peace while Ryan claimed his remit didn’t run to dealing with little old ladies with walking sticks who clearly weren’t afraid to use them on anyone in the vicinity.

It was left to Stephen to exercise his charm and diffuse the situation, fluttering his eyelashes like a pair of captive hummingbirds and flirting shamelessly. The woman still didn’t believe that her darling Winston had gone for a swim of his own accord, but at least Stephen managed to persuade her to stop trying to push Cutter back into the lake.

The rest of the day progressed via a snake large enough to have swallowed a Shetland pony whole if it had got the opportunity to a giant spider with legs even hairier than Finn’s.

Ryan and Abby dealt with the snake and Stephen took care of the spider while the others entertained themselves in the time-honoured manner by taking the piss unmercifully out of their respective frailties. No change there, then.

They got home just before midnight. Despite the fact that they were both knackered, a day when the worst casualty had been Cutter’s pride counted as a success in Ryan’s book. Chasing – or being chased by – giant spiders wasn’t quite how he’d planned to spend the evening, but in their job plans went out of the window almost as often as they were made. So instead of a leisurely meal in a posh restaurant followed by a night of lazy sex, they would be eating the remains of last night’s pizza washed down with a couple of bottles of beer and might, if they had the energy, manage to round the day off with a quick hand job in the shower.

But instead of reaching for the beers, Stephen took a bottle of champagne from the fridge, popped the cork, poured some for both of them and then raised his glass in a toast. “Happy birthday, Tom. There’s still three minutes of it left.”

Ryan grinned and chinked his glass against his lover’s. His birthday had been largely forgotten by everyone – including him – in the chaos of the day. He thought for a moment and then proposed another toast. “To Mrs Frobisher and Winston.”

Stephen laughed. “I’m banking on the photos Connor took of Cutter’s impromptu dip being enough to mollify Lester when he finds out that we all buggered off home without writing the reports.” He raised his glass in agreement. “To Mrs Frobisher and Winston, for providing the best laugh we’ve had all week!”

Ryan set his glass down on the table and wrapped his arms around Stephen’s waist. The kiss they shared tasted pleasantly of champagne and Ryan felt his cock starting to harden in his jeans as the alcohol coursed through his system and started to banish the tiredness of a long day spent rushing around London and the Home Counties.

Stephen insinuated a hand between them, flipped open the button on Ryan’s jeans, lowered the zipper and took his cock in hand, stroking firmly in a way that never failed to bring Ryan off and that was no exception. Stephen’s lips covered his, stealing his breath as Ryan gasped into his lover’s mouth a moment before he quickly spurted come over Stephen’s sinfully talented fingers.

Stephen wiped his hand on his already-grubby trousers and poured another two glasses of champagne. “You can return the favour in the shower, soldier boy.”

Ryan drained the glass quickly and then reached for a slice of cold pizza. He’d certainly had worse birthdays.

Delightful. Chuckled all the way through, and *snorfled* at much, including but not limited to:
"Cutter blamed a Yorkshire terrier. The dog’s owner blamed Cutter. The dog blamed everyone in a ten mile radius."
"fluttering his eyelashes like a pair of captive hummingbirds"
"a giant spider with legs even hairier than Finn’s"
Your ability to come up with the perfect turn of phrase for any situation is unparalleled.

And the prize for perfect characterization goes to:
"Ryan and Abby dealt with the snake and Stephen took care of the spider"

Add me to Fred's Fangirls, if that hasn't happened already :) May I officially 'friend' you?

Thank you for doing the impossible and making me laugh out-loud. This is the perfect fic to read after another crap day at the funny farm! So many good lines, I don't quite know which I like best. And yay - smut to finish!

Go Winston!!! I'm sure Cutter *enjoyed* being in the lake!

Great fic - and lovely smut at the end!

Is there a park in London that our lot haven't invaded?

Terrific use of a terrific prompt.

".....if they had the energy, manage to round the day off with a quick hand job in the shower."

I'm sure they did.....

Brilliant, all of it. I don't think I have a favourite bit (apart from maybe Nick ending up in the lake and Winston)

Definitely, Connor's probably happy someone else - other than him and Finn ;) - fell in.

Hee, this is fab, thank you! I did laugh out loud at the image of a little old lady trying to push Cutter back into the lake. A very delightful ending too :D

LOL - they could use that little old lady in the field, to either keep back the public or deal with the dinos!

Love the characterisations in this and how they celebrated the birthday *G*

Loved Cutter falling in the lake, and Stephen flirting his way out of trouble with the dog's owner. I reckon that Stephen is correct- Lester will appreciate those pictures!

Brilliant.

Belatedly getting back to catching up...

This is lovely, just the kind of bokers stuff I can imagine them having to deal with and on poor Ryan's birthday! Well, at least it wasn't raptors...
