perpetual_motionWow, nearly forgot I had this one lying around. It's on the site, but I felt like posting something a little different, and I just tweaked a couple of lines, so consider it the improved version.
Title: Temptations
Author: Perpetual Motion
Fandom: "Homicide: Life on the Street"
Pairing: Mike/Tim
Dis: Totally not mine. Although, I'll take either one of them home.
Author's Notes: This was written a little over a year ago, and I still like it, so I'm sharing the slightly updated version with you. Enjoy.

"You know those things will kill you."
Mike glanced over his shoulder and saw Tim standing a few feet away. "Your point?"
"No point." Tim looked away from Mike and watched the movement of Baltimore through chain-link. "I used to smoke."
"You've mentioned that before." Mike took a drag of his cigarette.
"Yeah. I quit on April 4."
"Any particular reason?"
Tim shrugged, his eyes still on Baltimore. "Seemed like a good time."
"How very cold-turkey of you."
"I thought so, too, but it worked. I haven't smoked since."
Mike sucked in another drag. "So you're cured."
"More or less."
"Then why aren't you looking at me? Afraid the sight of a lit cigarette will set you off?"
"It's not the cigarette." Tim finally looked at Mike again and seemed to concentrate on his mouth. He watched without expression as Mike took the final drag. In two swift steps he was in front of Mike, his lips just barely not-touching Mike's, breathing in smoke as it exhaled from Mike's mouth. As soon as the smoke dissipated, he turned on his heel and left.
Mike blinked, took a deep breath, flicked his butt off the roof and started out at Baltimore until his erection subsided. Then, he lit another cigarette.
