The idea's been in Dan's head since that first trip to East Hallow, but he's not about to indulge it there. What it means that he feels Darrow is safer than that place, or safer than the world he'd left behind, he'll unpack later.
A few different places fit the bill, and Dan picks the corn maze furthest out from the city proper, one that's going to be low on people and low on being anything but an acre or two of cornstalks, hay bales, and some cheap Halloween decorations. There's a reason most of the teenagers don't come here, and a reason no one brings the smaller children.
It's as neutral as Dan could hope to find.
And still, it sets his heart to thumping, bumping under the skin of his wrist as he stands in front of the entrance with Marcus.
"It's something I want to do," he says, again, for his own benefit. Marcus knows about the power of the hedge maze, and Dan reaches out for him, seeking to loop their fingers together. The touch of Marcus's skin grounds him, always, and just maybe, there's a chance for adrenaline over dread.

But at the same time, he wants it to be clear they can stop this at any time. They can push through a wall of cornstalks and get out whenever they feel the need, make their way back to the truck and then head home. He's already said it, but when Dan takes his hand, he looks over and tells him again.
Not with words exactly. But in a way he knows Dan will be able to read.
no subject
Bones. Bits of skeleton would be bones.
They step through, and Dan uses their linked hands to pull Marcus toward him, kissing him for a bit of courage, certainly-- but also because he wants to, and it's fun.
Funny how he's starting to see where a scare, something safe and far from real fear, turns so easily to other adrenaline-building activities.
no subject
All this would have been out of reach not so long ago. He means to enjoy it.
"Corn maze safe word," he echoes thoughtfully, the tips of his boots kicking up dry bits of cornstalk as they walk. "Pumpkin pie?"
no subject
"Pumpkin pie works," he says, as a small group of kids just old enough to be on their own pass. "Not that I really think I'd need that. You'd know." A scarecrow looms above, its jack-o-lantern of a head starting to dry up and curl inward. "And I don't think I have to worry about this place having anything more wrong with it than the more competitive hay maze closer to town."
no subject
"The only thing wrong with this place is that the scarecrow might begin to fall apart before Halloween even really begins," Marcus points out as they walk past it hand in hand. He gives it a gentle nudge as they pass, just wanting to make sure, but no, it's simply filled with straw.
no subject
They continue to wander, Dan not worrying about a destination.
After a while, there's a shouted announcement that things will be closing up soon, and that doesn't bother him either.
In fact, a very particular smile crosses his lips.
no subject
Dan has plans. Marcus is more than happy to follow along.
"Or maybe they won't look all that hard to begin with," he muses. "It's probably run by a bunch of teenagers who just want to head home."
no subject
His man.
"You're right, actually," Dan says, after a moment of thought. "Someone's very tired aunt who'd like to go home and take a bath, and a bunch of teenagers who are way too focused on a particular group of girls that's heading out about now. No one's thinking about the two old guys still wandering around."
He pauses long enough to lean close and graze his lips along Marcus's jaw.
no subject
They've turned another few corners when Marcus comes to a stop, then loops his arms around Dan's shoulders.
"It's rather peaceful out here, isn't it?" he asks.
no subject
And then he's spanning his hands across Marcus's hips, stealing him further into the shadows until they're tucked into a corner made by two massive, solid slabs of hay amongst the corn maze.
"They're gone now," he says, even as a few of the lights wink out. "And I know how I want to end my night in the maze."
no subject
Before Dan can answer, Marcus leans in. He tugs Dan's collar away from his throat to reveal more skin and presses his mouth there, lips against his pulse. Then he kisses higher, under the edge of Dan's jaw, tasting the day on his skin, stubble rasping on his lips.
He loves this man. In ways he'd been afraid were impossible.
no subject
So many better things to do with his energy.
His hands slide around to tuck into the back pockets of Marcus's jeans, pulling their hips snug and keeping them there as he tips his head just enough to feel more of Marcus's mouth. "Add this to this list of horny teenage things we missed out on," he says, tilting his chin back down so he can find Marcus's mouth with his. "But not for long."
no subject
As they kiss, Marcus shifts backward and the backs of his legs hit a hay bale. He sinks down to sit on top of it, finding it sturdier than he'd expected, entirely solid, and so he tugs on Dan's hips, wanting to pull him down, too.
no subject
But then he's being pulled down and all he can think about, beyond the hot static fuzz, is whether he wants to straddle Marcus's lap or get him on his back. He splits the difference, over one thigh, pressed against a hip, elbow bending so he can press Marcus backward and kiss him harder.
"Can't believe corn and hay bales are going to one my list of instant hard-ons now," he says, low and laughing, just barely pulling back enough to let the words free.
no subject
Tilting his head slightly, Marcus presses his mouth to Dan's throat, the stubble rasping against his lips. He slips a hand between them, cupping Dan through his jeans, rubbing with the heel of his palm as he can feel Dan's cock thickening.
"Good God, you really are incredible," he murmurs, replacing his hand with his thigh, rolling up against Dan.
no subject
He groans at the first press of Marcus's hand against him, certainly scandalizing that weird scarecrow peeking around the corner; he can't help laughing again either, or at least making that sound, more and more consumed with desire. "One of the many ways I know you love me," he says, now fully pressing Marcus down, one hand moving to cup the back of his neck, protect if from the hay, "is that you think my ability to get hard in a corn maze is incredible."
Only part of that's teasing.
no subject
"In case you couldn't tell," he adds mischievously, rolling his hips up again. His own cock is already hard, aching in his jeans, and the friction of his briefs against skin when he presses against Dan is maddening in the most delicious possible way.
no subject
Then again, sinking down on Marcus's cock, or feeling himself get stretched inch by incredible inch, that's as close to religion as Dan has found.
Dry-humping in a cornfield has some sort of attachment to those lost teenage years, he'd have to guess-- but he doesn't have to choose, thanks to the little tube of lubricant in his pocket. He mouths at the skin just under Marcus's jaw, teeth scraping a little.
no subject
Marcus laughs from where he's now on top of Dan, but he doesn't pause. Instead he just leans down to kiss him again, more thoroughly now, really taking his time.
They're making out on the ground of a corn maze. He feels deliciously, delightfully young.
no subject
Now, he encourages Marcus's full weight on him, urging him forward and then wrapping his legs around the back of Marcus's thighs.
"I don't think," he breathes, seeking out another press of kiss-swollen lips, "that it's warm enough to strip down, but I want you to fuck me anyway."
no subject
"We should have smuggled in a blanket," he murmurs before he resumes sucking on Dan's skin, the mark nice and red before his tongue sweeps over it once more. "Put it under you. Kept your ass warm."
He grins when he pulls back, then pushes his palm between their bodies, grasping Dan's cock through his jeans.
no subject
And then he's laughing and groaning at the same time, arching up shamelessly into the delicious pressure of Marcus's hand on his erection. "I feel like you're going to keep my ass warm anyway," he says, though talking coherently is starting to get more difficult. "Here."
He makes himself pull away so that he can turn over, on his hands and knees, immediately pressing his ass back into the cradle of Marcus's hips, swiveling against the hardness of his cock. A vulnerable position, but easily offered to the man he trusts above all.
no subject
His hands grip Dan's hips a little harder as he pulls back and then thrusts against him again. Even with their clothes still on, it feels amazing. He always feels amazing with Dan, feels loved as he never has before.
no subject
He groans loudly at the thrust and press of Marcus's hips behind him, rubbing against the thickness in his jeans, still hot and hard despite all the layers of clothes. "Marcus," he breathes.
no subject
He reaches around, fumbling for the button of Dan's jeans. They both know this isn't going to be something they can take their time with, but it has a different purpose and it's one Marcus is more than happy to fulfill. He wants Dan to feel good and brave and whole.
Slowly, he eases Dan's jeans down, careful not to pull them too far and risk him getting too cold.
no subject
Cool air hits his skin, but does nothing to flag his erection, hot and straining, or keep him from pushing forward for more touch, more. His own hands go to do the very same work, and the thought of the urgency of not even getting their pants down more than absolutely needed makes him throb.
"Fuck," he breathes, shaky and horny and joyful.
no subject
"Cold?" he asks, feeling the air on his bare skin and delighting in his. He's hot, flushed from being so close to Dan, from the slight danger that comes with the possibility of being caught and the cool air is wonderful against his skin.
Carefully, even as he waits for a response, he presses one finger inside of Dan, twisting gently as he eases him open slowly and lovingly.
no subject
"Keep going," he begs, inhaling the smell of fresh air and harvest soil, drying greenery. He sucks the air in, relaxing himself around the slick finger inside him. "So good, always so good."
no subject
"You look incredible," he murmurs, smoothing his free hand up under Dan's shirt and jacket. "Waiting for me like this. Just for me."
Marcus is aching. He's trembling, he wants to be inside of Dan, but he needs to make every moment of this as loving as he can. He knows what they're fighting here.
no subject
Right now, Dan's held and safe and feeling so good. He couldn't say the last moment he had even thought of their surroundings as a maze, as a place that had haunted him so deeply. There can be time later, too, to tease Marcus about sexorcisms.
The second finger joins the first and Dan whines appreciatively, just barely keeping himself for grabbing for his own cock, throbbing and leaking onto the ground. Sex and soil and the drying cornstalks around them make for a potent fog in the air, and like everything Marcus does with him, it's so strangely right.
"I'm good," he gasps, begging a little. "Please, give me your cock."
no subject
With his fingers wrapped around the base of his cock, his free hand on Dan's hip, Marcus guides them together, the head of his cock nudging against Dan's hole. He's already open for him, prepared, waiting, and he teases a little at first, just barely pressing inside before he pulls back again.
Then he's sinking into Dan, inch by inch, groaning the entire time, unable to help himself. It just feels so incredibly good.
no subject
And then he feels the perfect blunt head of Marcus's cock pushing against his hole, and he groans, ready to whine at the teasing. He's not made to wait long, thank god, and he shakes a little as Marcus fills him up.
It's exactly what he needed, taken and loved and vulnerable in an echo of a place that would do him harm.
no subject
He thrust, long and slow, pressing his cock all the way inside of Dan before drawing back and doing it again with a soft grunt.
"You're incredible," he breathes, his hand slipping under Dan's jacket, his shirt, sliding along his skin. "Dan, you're amazing."
