"Have you ever broken down like that? Over something silly?" Rayan asked.
Scott resumed rubbing Rayan’s back. "I really don't think that was a silly reason to get upset, but yes, I've had breakdowns plenty of times. Even in my line of work, patients still die, and depending on how closely I worked with them, there were funerals to attend. And sometimes, I have to tell couples who've been trying so hard that they've miscarried again. Sometimes it's silent heartbreak, and sometimes it's screaming and grief right then and there. It's impossible for it to no
Scott awoke the next morning wrapped around Rayan. They were spooning, Rayan had his head on Scott's shoulder, hugging his arm loosely, snoring lightly. Scott buried his face in Rayan's hair, savoring his smell. Last night, they finally had sex. He was finally able to make love to the most beautiful person on the planet. After all this time, it almost didn't seem real.In his arms, Rayan twitched as though he was dreaming. He had some weird ones before, or at least he often told Scott how weird his dreams could get, usually centering around things going absurd
They watched some TV until there wasn't too much time left before they had to get ready to go. Scott helped Rayan gather his things after they got dressed, and packed all their breakfast leftovers with an ice pack for Rayan to take home.Rayan decided to wear one of his new outfits instead of the one he packed, since his new clothes were way nicer. He worked on his hair while Scott shaved. He only tied back the top half, leaving the bottom half to flow free.
Tuesday came back around again. Rayan's overnight bag was in the trunk of Scott's car, and they'd just finished a wonderful Italian dinner. Rayan rubbed his belly contentedly as they made their way through the parking lot."Oh! That was so good!" Rayan exclaimed."Ready for the next stop?" Scott asked.They arrived at the car and Scott held the door for him. Ordinarily, they would have gotten takeout and just eaten at Scott's place, but since they skipped out on it Sunday, today Scott was making good on his promise to get Rayan something to make his heat easier. Preferably something they could both enjoy later, as he fully intended they would spend the heat after this one together."I'm a little nervous," Rayan admitted as he got in the car, "I don't think I could go in a place like that on my own, but as long as it's with you, I should be fine."Scott blew him a kiss before shut
“You don't have to hide that you've got an erection from me."Rayan moved his hands, and the paper covering sprung back up a little. "It's just a little embarrassing, I guess. I've had plenty of exams before, but we literally had sex for the first time like, four days ago."
Today was a super important extremely special kind of day. Scott wasn't nervous or anything, well okay, that was a little bit of a lie. He'd ordered something special, and it had finally come in. He just hoped Rayan would like it. He really, really hoped Rayan would like it. And, he hoped it would fit.Speaking of, his wonderful boyfriend sent him a text this morning that his heat was finally over. They'd made plans ahead of time to go out to a buffet for dinner once he was off work. Rayan wouldn't accept money for groceries, but that didn't mean Scott had no
Rayan was full, and honestly, what he really wanted to do right now was engage in a little one-on-one snuggling with some games. But if Scott wanted to take a walk, he would go along. Spending time together with him was what he really wanted.Scott's heart tried to break out of his ribcage on the drive to the park, it was beating so heavily. The time for the surprise was creeping closer. He wasn't going to back down. Never had he been so sure of something before. He wondered if Rayan could feel how fast his pulse was, since they were holding hands as usual.
Rayan's preferred method of telling his co-workers he was engaged was to purposely call attention to his ring so they would ask and he could confirm that yes, the man of his dreams and love of his life had asked him to marry him. Most of them brushed him off, or commented that the color was weird and engagement rings were only supposed to be diamonds. One asked if the colors were a sports team thing.None of it got to him. His whole body was abuzz with giddy energy. Not even rude customers and sexist remarks could keep him down for long. All he needed was to l
Finally, after way too long Rayan was free. He took off his apron and stashed it under the counter before jogging over to where Scott was waiting patiently by the exit doors. Not knowing what was wrong, and not wanting to make a scene, he took Scott's hand and led him outside and around the corner of the building, out if the way of foot traffic. There, he wrapped his arms around his fiance's torso, squeezing tight as they leaned against the wall."I'm sorry you had to wait," Rayan said quietly as he felt Scott's arms wrap around him in a similar fashion.
