Malcolm smirks, deflecting his stab (this time... because he... kinda wants that mark, now that the idea is on the table) with a deft movement of his own hand.

"You're suggesting negotiations can only be made from a position of strength," he admonishes, finally fumbling the door open with his other hand and letting himself stumble backwards through it. "But that's not true." The corner of his lips twitches. "Maybe I only have to have something you want."

Will's cool expression turns amused at Malcolm's smirk. Now that they're both properly putting their full attention on each other, there's a lot less to be upset about.

"And you know you do." He makes a couple of lazy swipes with the knife, letting Malcolm's reactions determine which direction they go in. "But let's hear it. Why should I give you exactly what you want?"

He’s backing up at as leisurely a pace as Will’s knife swing goes, but he tugs his collar aside, on the side opposite his tattoo.

“What if I let you make it a ‘W’,” he says, tilting his head towards the blade. “Play your cards right and I might insist.”

Will lets out a deep chuckle, eyes shining in the lights that brighten up their ship, their one and only space for the two of them. "I'd ask how you know exactly what I want, but we both know you're excellent at your job."

He stops swinging just long enough to duck in for another kiss, all teeth and tongue while he holds Malcolm by the shoulders. "Let me make it what I like, and I'll make sure it hurts," he says against Malcolm's lips. "It should be art, on you. It should reflect your radiance."

He meets the kisses with equal hunger and equal ardour. When Will promises he'll make it hurt if he can make what he wants, Malcolm grins against his mouth.

"You're more of an artist than I am; I'll defer to your expertise," he says, hands sliding up Will's sides before slipping between them to look for buttons to fumble open.

"Of course you will," he murmurs, moving his kisses down to Malcolm's neck, where he catches the skin between his teeth. It might make it a little harder to see the buttons Malcolm is reaching for, but surely the sight isn't necessary?

He already wasn't looking at the buttons and Will's teeth on his neck make him more impatient for skin under his hands and he starts yanking the buttons open to the point that a couple pop off and skitter across the floor. He pushes the shirt off Will's shoulders and finds... t-shirt under there. He growls frustration at it and starts pulling it roughly out of Will's waistband.

As soon as Malcolm frees the undershirt from his waistband, Will pulls away. It's just enough so he pull the knife cleanly upward, through it. Hopefully Malcolm was paying close enough attention that he doesn't get caught in the upward swipe.

Regardless, Will is coming for Malcolm's shirt next. Their need to feel skin- and to mark it up- feels almost feral.

Malcolm dodges the blade, grinning wickedly as he sees what it’s up to. He doesn’t resist when the blade makes short work of his own shirt next, not even flinching when it just nicks his collarbone on its way out. He shrugs out of the remains of the fabric, coming for Will’s mouth with his own again with that same feral need, one hand threading into Will’s hair as he kisses him deeply, giving a handful a pull that is clearly not intended to pull his lips away from Malcolm’s.

Will does the same- tearing his own shirt off while Malcolm is busy with his. The knife really should be dropping to the floor by now, but Will holds onto it. It's merelyangled away from Malcolm's body for the time being.

He crashes into his husband, groaning at the sweet pain of the tug on his hair. He kisses Malcolm with wild abandon. His mouth slowly moves down to Malcolm's chin, then his neck. He wanders down to the blood dripping slowly off Malcolm's collarbone. His tongue flicks out to lick it up- it seems gentle at first, but then the muscle presses in harder to the tiny wound.

"Mmmm," Will murmurs. "I seem to have a canvas now. Can you be still and wait for my mark?" It won't take long, but it remains to be seen whether either of them has the willpower for that.

Of course, they haven't made it to either of the two requested spots yet, either.

Malcolm meets each kiss just as greedily, tilting his head to give Will access, keeping a hand firmly grasping Will's hair. He moans as the pressure on the wound makes it ache and sting at the same time, his hips pressing against Will's hips like he can't help it.

"Be still?" He smirks, but when he speaks, he's a little breathless. "Depends. What are the rewards for compliance?"

"More negotiations?" Will replies, with a bark of a laugh. The hand in his hair is fantastic- he might be a bit breathless himself. It makes his next words a whisper.

"I will take you to the exact point, that edge where pain and pleasure are indistinguishable. And then I will push you over. You'll be lost, screaming for me. And I'll be there to catch you."

Malcolm's grin widens.

"Let's do that," he urges, hooking a leg around Will's hip to hold himself steady. "I'm ready," he breathes.
