Mike’s still tired when he wakes up to Peter rustling in the dark to get ready. His days off don’t always line up with his husband’s, leaving all intimacy to rushed moments before they split for the day. Squinting in the low light, he props himself up on his elbows with a rustling sound that gets Peter’s attention.
“Didn’t mean to wake you, sorry.”
“No, ‘s okay,” Mike mumbles.
He barely sees anything but shadows when Peter comes to the side of the bed to cup Mike’s face and kiss him. Already he tastes like coffee and smells like crisp cologne, his hands smooth and warm. If Mike had woken up a few minutes later, he no doubt would’ve missed him entirely.
After a couple seconds, Peter pulls away and says goodbye, telling Mike softly to go back to sleep and get the rest he’s so rarely allowed.
Omg this completely blew me away
