When Mike comes home from another long day of work at SVU, his husband is already in the kitchen making dinner for the two of them. Lately, they’ve been happier than ever, and Mike can’t get enough of it.
After surviving the Munson incident, Mike decided to stay at SVU and help the people who really need him. The squad is a family as well, the first real one he’s experienced. With one small act of independence, he was suddenly able to stand up to his father. He moved in with Sonny, changed his number, and allowed himself to start over.
Not long after that, Sonny was nearly killed by an ex-cop, and although he managed to go a couple more months, he was clearly too crippled emotionally to keep working for the NYPD. Mike helped him put in for early retirement, and supported him until he landed a new job at the cute little bookshop by their home.
They’re happy. And in the meanwhile, their love has blossomed in a whirlwind romance, getting married and looking into adoption in the three years it’s been since Sonny left the NYPD. Their guest bedroom would make a good nursery, the schools nearby are fantastic, and they would both love and adore their child more than anything else.
A smile warms Mike’s face as he walks into the kitchen and wraps his arms around Sonny from behind, peppering kisses on his neck and shoulder while Sonny tends to their good smelling meal on the stove.
“Hi,” Sonny says with a smile, turning his head slightly to steal a kiss. “How was work?”
With just four words, he’s made Mike melt into the knowledge that he’s loved and, for the first time in his life, he truly has a home.
I can’t with how precious and pure this is! ❤❤
