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.

Watts smiled into the kiss, riding out Steven's climax with him, over that peak and back down, teetering exceptionally close to the edge himself.

As Steven relaxed into a boneless, blissful state his whimpers became encouraging sounds. He squeezed Llewellyn's hand, letting him know it was okay to join him.

And that encouragement was all he needed, the kiss deepening even as his thrusts forward contained a more frantic energy as he chased that feeling. And then he was tumbling over that edge to meet Steven in the afterglow.

"That's it," Steven murmured between kisses. "I've got you. I love you. My perfect Llew."

[pocketpretzels]

"Oh..." Watts sighed contentedly, as he relaxed and slumped on top of Steven. "Love you."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven wrapped his free arm around Llewellyn. "That was amazing."

[pocketpretzels]

"Mmm, agreed," Watts murmured, nuzzling into the crook of Steven's neck.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven tilted his head to give Llewellyn more room. "You're amazing."

[pocketpretzels]

"Thank you," Watts said, making good use of that newly exposed skin. "I think you are as well. So you are aware."

[hasaknightjob]

"Thank you." Steven shivered pleasantly at Llewellyn's touch. Then he chuckled softly. "All this and it's only the anniversary of us meeting."

[pocketpretzels]

"Setting high standards for our proper anniversary, I suppose," Watts mused.

[hasaknightjob]

"I like knowing that we're both so happy for it," Steven said. "It's nice to appreciate the sort of small things as much as the big."

[pocketpretzels]

"We were friends, first, before we started properly courting," Watts said. "That's worth celebrating. Our friendship means a great deal to me."

[hasaknightjob]

"Me as well," Steven said. "I like that you enjoy these things as much as I do. Er - the celebrating the big and small moments, that is. I know you - er - well, seemed you were enjoying yourself just now."

[pocketpretzels]

Watts laughed. "I most certainly was. Enjoying this as well," he added.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven smiled, feeling warm inside at seeing Llewellyn laughing and happy. "I did too. In case you wondered."

[pocketpretzels]

"It did seem apparent," Watts smiled at him, finger idly drawing patterns over Steven's skin.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven nuzzled Llewellyn's cheek. "You do a good job making me happy. In all ways."

[pocketpretzels]

"I'm glad," Watts said. "You deserve happiness. I am glad I can provide that for you."

[hasaknightjob]

"You do," Steven said. He pressed a kiss to the spot he'd been nuzzling. "You've brought joy and warmth and safety to my life."

[pocketpretzels]

"As you have to mine in return," Watts said. "More than I ever thought I had any right to."

[hasaknightjob]

"You've every right to be happy," Steven said. "You're a good person, Llewellyn Watts."

[pocketpretzels]

"I do try my best to be," Watts acknowledged.

[hasaknightjob]

"That's all anyone can do, isn't it?" Steven said. "Try. Up to others to let us know if we get it right."

[pocketpretzels]

"And I must be doing well, to have you in my life."
