Harrison Hot Springs Resort, Friday late afternoon

[hasaknightjob]

Steven and Llewellyn had gone for a hike on Hicks Lake Loop, taking longer than the suggested time since they'd brought a picnic with them to enjoy along the way.

Once done, they headed back to their hotel room. There Steven had arranged for a fruit platter and flowers to be waiting.

Yes, their anniversary had been yesterday. But that didn't mean they were limited to celebrating on that day. After all, here they were taking the entire weekend.

"I rather enjoyed that," Steven said as they came into the room. "Our hike."

He figured Llewellyn could notice the gifts in his own time.

"Now and always," Watts agreed.

[hasaknightjob]

"My partner," Steven said, looking at Llewellyn like he was amazing.

[pocketpretzels]

"And happily so," Watts replied. "As you are mine."

[hasaknightjob]

"I like that." Steven placed kisses along Llewellyn's jaw. "You and me. A team."

[pocketpretzels]

"Mmmm," Watts hummed happily, tilting his head to give Steven better access. "Building our lives together."

[hasaknightjob]

"A family," Steven added, taking advantage of that access to kiss even more places. "We all count as one."

[pocketpretzels]

"Our family," Watts agreed, taking the opportunity to just let his hands roam across Steven's back, enjoying the contact.

Steven squirmed in closer to get more of Llewellyn's touch. "We made it ourselves."

[pocketpretzels]

"And I couldn't be happier," Watts told him.

[hasaknightjob]

"You seem rather happy," Steven said, blushing even as he rocked his hips towards Llewellyn's.

[pocketpretzels]

Watts chuckled. "I've a handsome, charming man in my bed. Of course I'm happy."

[hasaknightjob]

"Best be me and not someone you've hidden under the covers," Steven said, grinning at him.

[pocketpretzels]

"It's you, darling," Watts said, serious despite the fact that Steven was clearly joking. "Only you shall do."

[hasaknightjob]

The reassurance meant a lot to Steven, no matter if he'd been joking. "Thank you. There's only you for me. No one can compare."

[pocketpretzels]

"We fit together," Watts said, rocking against Steven in demonstration.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven smiled shyly. "Rather well, in my experience."

[pocketpretzels]

"Perfectly so, in my opinion," Watts replied.

[hasaknightjob]

"In all sorts of ways," Steven said, going in for another proper kiss.

[pocketpretzels]

"Can think of one in particular, in this moment," Watts said impishly into that kiss.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven giggled. "Same one I'm thinking of, maybe?"

[pocketpretzels]

"I should certainly hope so," Watts said dryly.

[hasaknightjob]

"Well there's options," Steven pointed out.

[pocketpretzels]

"Ah, but I'm rather fond of the one you suggested," Watts said. "Unless you've changed your mind, of course."

[hasaknightjob]

"Oh no," Steven said. "I take it you haven't either?"

[pocketpretzels]

"I most certainly have not," Watts said firmly.

Wasn't the only thing about him that was firm, as a matter of fact.
