MARK

I dragged him into my bed at some point in the early hours, stumbling awkwardly across the wooden floor into the softness of warm blankets and cool pillows against our skin.

He barely noticed, completely asleep again before I had a chance to cover him with the duvet I’d retrieved from the living room, turning off the light with my elbow as I lay down beside him.

I loved that he was here. I loved that he had crumbled and finally lost all those inhibitions he wore like a towering castle around his heart. He was scared, lonely, just like me, only I wore all my anxieties on the outside, brushing them off with a joke and a shrug, while he hid them, letting them eat him up from the inside.

I woke around midday, shivering with the coldness of the room, despite the sun glaring through the open blinds. For a moment, my chest constricted in terror thinking he’d left. I couldn’t feel him next to me in the bed until I jerked my head off the pillow and saw him rolled up in the duvet like a human burrito. The little shit.

I went to the toilet, brushed my teeth and gave my cock a thorough wash. I was quietly hoping this was the start of something new; more than anything, I hoped to be with him again and enjoy a little part of him. It was Christmas, after all, and Christmas was all about giving. Receiving too, of course, and I was damn good at both.

There was a new bottle of lube in the bathroom cupboard, which I grabbed, along with some hand towels and a supply of condoms, and quietly placed it all on the floor beside my bed.

I wasn’t one for being sloppy when it came to opportunities. I was always prepared, however haphazard my planning was with the rest of my life. Like answering my mum’s call, which set my mobile buzzing angrily on the coffee table next door.

I hobbled in and turned it to silent, shooting off a quick text to say I would ring later and sort out my plans.

I had plans, all right, darting around in my head like fireworks, popping with ideas that I hoped he would like, and after, when we were sated and ready, I was hoping we could talk. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. We were here, together, and had a clear and easy path to a fresh start. There could be an us if we just gave it a try. I wouldn’t ask him to change, because I liked him the way he was. I liked his prickly anger, loved his sarcastic tone. His ridiculous insults made me laugh, and his tears…I’d wiped them all from his stubbly cheeks, kissed them away from his temples and soothed the sobs in his chest. Those tears had been mine, and mine to keep.

I just needed him to let me love him, to hold him at night, and to be the one he needed.
