Summary: Billy has strong, sure hands.

~*~

Billy has strong, sure hands. They’re not just parts of Billy’s body; they’re extensions of everything about him that matters. Billy’s hands are how he demonstrates his competency in the field, brushing dust and dirt away from things long dead with a gentle and sure touch. They’re also how he demonstrates his compassion – and passion – in the classroom, when Billy places them firmly on the shoulders of students who struggle, guiding them through their problems, or gently places them in the small of the backs of the girls who flirt with him, as he ushers them out of the door.

He’s never overstepped his bounds, at least not where Alan could see it, and faculty gossip being what it is he suspects he’d know if Billy took any of those girls up on their offers.

Alan tells himself this, just like he tells himself that the reason he notices those touches in the first place – the only reason – is because of how it reflects on him.

There are days when Alan thinks he’s raised self-delusion to an art form.

But Billy has strong, sure hands. They’re not just parts of Billy’s body – they’re extensions of everything about Billy that matters, everything that Alan has become fixated on in his grad student. It’s wrong – beyond wrong – and Alan is too damned old to be having thoughts this lascivious, even when it’s his gaze that Billy seeks out when he’s working, mouth wide in a smile and strong fingers stroking over the dirt and bone.

Billy has strong, sure hands and it’s those hands that Alan imagines stroking him when he comes.

The End

Oh. Oh, this is nice. And really very angsty, except for that in my head, of course, Billy totally wants him back and it's just a matter of time. XDDD

Your JP3 stories never fail to make my day!

This is gorgeous... actually quite poetic, really. Thanks for sharing with us! :-)

It's been forever since I read any Jurassic Park 3 slash! I knew I was keeping this icon for a reason!

Great stuff. Thanks for writing!

oh, nice. I've never read any JP fic before, so this was new and interesting.

This was lovely!

Yay! But Billy's being too subtle for Alan here ;-)

[spikedluv]

Oh yum! Loved Alan's fixation on Billy's hands, and the last line was perfect. *g*

Thank you :)

Oh, Billy totally wants him back. It's just that since he hasn't (yet) hit Alan over the head with a piece of 2 by 4, Alan hasn't got the message ::g::

Thank you :) I haven't written JPIII fic for ages, but I do so love the film. It's one of my comfort movies, which strangely enough all seem to feature dinos eating people.

Thank you :)

Man needs a sharp tap to the head with a piece of 2 by 4 to get the message :)
