Apt #14, MHA, Saturday Afternoon

[hasaknightjob]

Another Saturday, another tryout of a Temple on the mainland to see if it felt like a good fit for Steven, Llewellyn, and perhaps even Marc when he felt more comfortable with it again.

This had involved waking up early on a Saturday morning (i.e. waking up at all in the morning on a Saturday) so between that and the chilly weather the plan for the afternoon was staying inside and snuggling.

Yes, the heating in the flat was perfectly fine. But shush.

Lunch was also on the agenda. Which was why, after they returned home, Steven and Llewellyn briefly separated into their separate flats to prepare. Steven had the pizza they'd picked up along the way (a heart shaped vegan pizza). He put that down on the coffee table as soon as he got in, then busied himself with changing into comfortable and warm sweats, putting a spare comforter on the couch, putting out Raphael's water dish and toys, and then getting the kettle on for warm drinks of some kind.

Then, on impulse, he put on a video of a crackling fireplace on the TV.

Now all he needed was the beau and his small companion.

Steven said it again, this time punctuating with kisses to Llewellyn's ear - gentle ones, though, Steven wasn't trying to deafen him. "All of you is charming to me."

Ensconced as he was with blankets, beau, and cat, the shiver that sent down Watts's spine had absolutely nothing to do with being cold.

"My love," Steven said. He rubbed Llewellyn's shoulder. "My Llew."

"Foolishly, happily yours," Watts agreed.

"Good," Steven said. "I'd like to keep you. Easier to do if you're mine."

[pocketpretzels]

So long as you'll have me Watts couldn't help but think, but he wasn't going to say that part out loud. "And I do like to make things easier for you."

Which was a shame since Steven would've replied to that if he had said it aloud. But since it was only the second part, Steven said, "You do make it difficult to resist you."

[pocketpretzels]

Yes, but giving voice to that fear would make it real and Watts wasn't prepared to deal with that.

"I prefer to think of it as easy to give in," Watts said cheekily. "A matter of perspective."

"Foolish either way," Steven said. He rest his head against Llewellyn's. "Like I am for you."
