Ben cuddled closer to Callum’s chest as if he could get any closer than he already was. They were laying on the couch watching telly like they have done practically every day since lockdown ended. Sometimes they watch what is on but most of the time, they are just happy to sit there in silence together. Callum looked down at Ben leaning on his chest and smiled.
“Doubt ya can get any closer”, Callum laughed while rubbing his boyfriend’s arm that was stretched out across his lap.
“Don’t know but I ain't gonna stop trying, Babe”, Ben replied.
“I promise we will be right back ‘ere after the switch on”, Callum said. He added, “and we won’t need subtitles!”
“That’s wishful thinking, Cal. What if it don’t work?”
As Callum sat up, he enthusiastically said “It WILL work, Ben!" "I have to get going or they won’t let me leave early to meet you at hospital. Walk me out?”
Ben groaned as he was forced to get up. He followed Callum through the kitchen and out the back door to say goodbye.
