Chapter Text
Fashion was never something Linus had really cared about. This was one of the first times he had made the active decision to go shopping and pick out something fancy. He didn’t really have an option. Pasta was a bad influence on him. He needed to up his game from crappy suits to something a little fancier.
Boston was a great place to do his shopping. They had every store there he could possibly need. It was a little intimidating with all the big fancy labels, but he more or less knew what he liked.
His next stop after the fancy suit stores was Ralph Lauren. This was a little bit more his league. It had a simple gray sport coat he wanted to wear on his next date night with Jeremy. He was on his way out of the shopping center when another store caught his eye. It was tucked back, almost out of sight entirely, and looked nearly deserted. Curiosity got the better of him and he detoured, abandoning his path to the parking garage in favor of taking a look around.
It was a lingerie store. But not just lingerie store. No, no. This one stocked items for both women and men. Jeremy immediately came to the forefront of Linus’s mind. He ventured further into the store. Despite the fact there were no other customers, he kept his head down. He was still a recognizable person, and he needed to remember that nobody knew about his relationship with Jeremy.
The selection in front of him was intimidating to say the least. There were some things there that he had never seen or heard of before. He felt like he was way in over his head until something caught his eye. Thigh highs. Those he knew he could pull off. He selected a simple pair of sheer red ones along with a lacey pair of red underwear.
“Will that be all today?” the cashier asked as she rang up his items and placed them in a bag.
“Yes,” Linus nodded, pulling the cash out of his wallet and passing it to her. She printed his receipt and stuck it in the bag before handing it to him.
“Have a nice day,” she said with a smile. Linus nodded and stuffed the bag into the one from Ralph Lauren. Half so Jeremy wouldn’t see it when he got home and half so he didn’t have to think about it. Out of sight out of mind as Lewis always said.
“You’re home!” Jeremy exclaimed as Linus walked through the door. He smiled and greeted his boyfriend with a kiss. “How was shopping?”
“It was good,” Jeremy responded, looking down at the bags in his hands. “I got some new suits, a new jacket.”
“Ooh, lemme see,” Jeremy said excitedly.
“I’ll give you a fashion show,” Linus smiled and walked back to their bedroom as Jeremy made himself comfortable on the couch. It wasn’t something Linus normally would have done, but the lingerie store gave him some ideas.
The suit he tried was the sage green one he bought with one of the new white dress shirts. He walked out in the first outfit, feeling a little ridiculous. Jeremy wolf whistled and stood up from the couch. Linus felt some of the embarrassment melt away from him.
“I like this one,” he said, taking Linus’s hand and spinning him around. “I like the tie a lot.”
“I like it too,” Linus smiled, smoothing it down against his chest.
“More!” Jeremy cheered, clapping his hands together. Linus smiled and disappeared back into the bedroom.
Their little mock fashion show went round after round before Linus finally worked up the confidence to grab the bag from the lingerie shop. He picked it up with suddenly shaky hands and pulled out the thigh highs and underwear. His mind raced as he tried to make a decision between making it a part of the fashion show or tucking it away and saving it for a later time.
“Everything okay in there?” Jeremy called.
“Yeah!” Linus called back. “I’ll be right out!”
He sighed to himself and stripped out of the suit to pull on the lacy underwear. His hands shook as he unpacked the thigh highs and stepped into those as well. He looked himself in the mirror and drew in a shaky breath.
“Close your eyes! This one’s a surprise!” Linus called before he opened the door and walked out.
“They’re closed!” Jeremy yelled back.
Linus cracked open the door to make sure Jeremy’s eyes were really closed before he walked out. Seeing his boyfriend sitting there, eyes squeezed shut and a downright giddy look on his face, gave him the extra boost of confidence he needed. He took a deep breath before walking out and standing in front of the couch where Jeremy was sitting.
“Open them,” he said in the most sultry voice he could muster.
Jeremy’s jaw fell open at the sight in front of him. Linus stood shirtless, clad only in a pair of lacy red underwear that left very little to the imagination and sheer red thigh highs. Jeremy shamelessly raked his eyes up and down Linus’s body. He slowly stood up from the couch and took a couple steps toward him.
“What do you think?” Linus asked in a shaky voice.
“What do I think?” Jeremy repeated. “I think you’re the fucking sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. Holy shit, where the fuck did you get these?” he asked. He reached down and snapped the elastic waistband of the underwear against Linus’s skin.
“There was a lingerie shop in the shopping center,” Linus answered, his confidence growing by the second. “I saw them and I thought you might like them.”
“Like them? Fuck, Linus, I love them,” Jeremy swore. “Shit, you might have to get more of these.”
“Yeah?” Linus asked, looking down.
“Yeah,” Jeremy nodded. “They make me want to fuck you right here and right now.”
“Well what are you waiting for?” Linus asked, looking up at Jeremy through his eyelashes. Jeremy’s face darkened and he all but dragged Linus back to their bedroom. He swiped the bags and miscellaneous articles of clothing to the floor and pushed him down.
Jeremy took one of Linus’s legs and trailed his lips up it until he got to the elastic part of the thigh high. He took it in his teeth and snapped it against his skin leaving a red mark. Linus gasped.
“You look so fucking good right now,” Jeremy purred. “All laid out for me in your lingerie. Fuck, you have no idea what you’re doing to me.”
Linus bit his lip and let his head fall back to the mattress. Jeremy repeated the action on his other leg. He thought he was going to take them off when he took the elastic in his teeth once more and gently tugged at them but they remained in place.
“Lift your hips for me, baby boy,” Jeremy cooed. Linus did as he was told and the lacey underwear was slowly dragged down his legs and lovingly placed on the mattress. “Those I don’t plan on ripping.”
Linus didn’t process anything until Jeremy was grabbing his hips and pulling him so his ass was resting on his thighs. Jeremy quickly undid his belt and his fly. Linus reached for the bottle of lube they kept and their bedside table and a condom. Jeremy impatiently took them from him as he freed his dick from the confines of his boxers.
“God, look how turned on you have me,” Jeremy said as he rolled the condom on and squirted some lube onto his fingers. Linus sucked in a sharp breath at the cold sensation. “You have to go back to that store and get more.”
“We can go together,” Linus gasped.
“Damn right we will,” Jeremy grunted as he pushed himself in.
Linus moaned loud enough for Jeremy to smack his hand over his mouth. Jeremy kept one hand on Linus’s hip, keeping him still as he started an even pace. The bedframe squeaked with the rhythm he set and the headboard lightly tapped against the wall.
Linus’s eyes were screwed shut. Jeremy was hitting his prostate almost every other thrust. He was happy the lace underwear had been removed so he could reach down and jerk himself off. Normally Jeremy would have stopped him but he had a one track mind and it was occupied.
“Fuck,” he swore. “Fuck, fuck, fuck. You feel so good, Linus, holy shit. Fuck look at you, you’re so hot like this, all stretched out on my cock.”
A moan escaped Linus’s mouth and was audible even though Jeremy still had his hand over his mouth. It didn’t stay there for long, though, as he moved it to press down on Linus’s lower stomach. Linus bit his lip, knowing he didn’t have Jeremy’s hand to stifle his moans anymore.
“God, look at you. I’m almost fucking there and it’s all because of these fucking thigh highs,” Jeremy snapped the elastic of one of the thigh highs against Linus’s skin for what had to be the tenth time that night. The sting pushed him closer and closer to his orgasm every time.
Linus had no words. All he could do was lie there and screw his eyes shut as Jeremy pounded into him. And, by how, Jeremy’s hips were no longer moving in a distinct pattern or rhythm, they were stuttering. A tell tale sign he was close. Linus was close too. He tended to finish at the same time Jeremy did unless he was working overtime to get him off before getting himself off.
“Fuck,” Linus finally swore. “I’m gonna cum, I’m so fucking close.”
“Me too,” Jeremy grunted, tilting his head back. “Fuck. Fuck!”
Jeremy came with a shuddering gasp. The room quieted down almost instantly, now just filled with the sound of heavy breathing. He pulled out and disposed of the condom. He returned with a warm washcloth and wiped off Linus’s stomach.
He left Linus to recover from his orgasm and shed the rest of his now sweaty clothes. He’d forgotten he was so turned on he’d neglected to even strip before getting down to it. Who would have known a simple pair of thigh highs had that much of an effect on him?
“Here,” Jeremy said softly as he laid a pair of soft and comfortable boxers next to Linus. He placed a kiss to his forehead before stepping into them and helping Linus sit up.
“Fuck,” he swore as he finally caught his breath.
“Fuck indeed,” Jeremy smiled. He knelt in front of the bed and carefully pulled off the thigh highs. He kissed the red marks snapping the elastic had left on Linus's skin. He gently folded them and placed them in the top drawer of their dresser alongside the lacey underwear. When he turned back around Linus had put on the comfortable pair of boxers and was climbing under the sheets.
Jeremy joined him and pressed one more kiss to his temple before Linus curled up in his side. They fell asleep quickly, both men absolutely exhausted.
