Midnight Manor Private Residence, Wednesday Evening

[pocketpretzels]

With their anniversary celebration coming up and all that would entail, Watts and Steven had opted for a quiet night at home for their date night this week.

Hence the popcorn and colas out on the table, with one of the many streaming services they subscribe to pulled up on the television.

"Any sort of picture you're in a particular mood for?" Watts asked Steven.

Comments

There was something about that statement that nagged at something in the back of Watts's mind. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, though.

"I'll always find you," he said, hugging Steven tight. "Always."

"Never missed a date with you," Steven said. He melted into Llewellyn's arms. "I'm glad for that. I was so scared in the early days."

[pocketpretzels]

"You work so hard to keep it all straight," Watts noted.

[hasaknightjob]

"I try," Steven said. Then a small smile couldn't help but peek out. "Not entirely straight. You are my beau after all."

[pocketpretzels]

"Hm?" It took Watts a moment. "Ah. Yes," he smiled against Steven's shoulder. "And very happy to be."

[hasaknightjob]

"Grateful for you," Steven said. "Glad we found each other."

[pocketpretzels]

"Through worlds and time," Watts noted.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven gave him a soft kiss. "You're being a poet again."

[pocketpretzels]

"It's true, though, isn't it? Rather remarkable we managed to find each other."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven nestled in against Llewellyn. "I'm glad of it. My missing half."

[pocketpretzels]

"Not missing anymore," Watts said. "I am right here. By your side, now and always."

[hasaknightjob]

Llewellyn was going to find himself kissed for that. Softly, and with appreciation.

[pocketpretzels]

Watts's kiss in return was equally soft, as he tried to pour all of his love and reassurance into the action.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven nuzzled in, quietly thanking Llewellyn for the comfort as they kissed.

[pocketpretzels]

"Love of my life," Watts mumbled against Steven's lips. "So glad I found you."

[hasaknightjob]

"I'm glad I found you," Steven said, nuzzling again. He smiled. "Right outside my flat, with boxes."

[pocketpretzels]

"And you willing to go to the trouble of assisting me," Watts added.

[hasaknightjob]

"I was drawn to you from the start," Steven said. "Couldn't help it."

[pocketpretzels]

"As I was to you," Watts said, fingers gently caressing Steven's cheek. "Captivated."

[hasaknightjob]

"I didn't realize it at first," Steven admitted. "But deep down I knew I wanted to spend my time with you."

[pocketpretzels]

"Marc knew," Watts said matter-of-factly.

[hasaknightjob]

"He did, yeah," Steven said. He sent a fond smile towards his nearest reflection, even though said reflection was just him. Matter of habit, really. "And he wanted me to be happy. Still does."

[pocketpretzels]

Watts nodded. "I'm glad I am the one who can make you happy. Gained me a loyal friend in addition to the love of my life."

[hasaknightjob]

"Still cheeky of him what he did that day in the laundry," Steven said. But he didn't sound as though he minded.

[pocketpretzels]

"I certainly had no complaints," Watts said. And speaking of cheeky, his grin certainly was. "You look very handsome without a shirt."
