“It’s almost halloween.” Piers said nonchalantly out of the blue. He was watching some crime show on TV while Chris prepared dinner for the two.
“Hm?” Chris asked, turning around to face the younger man.
“I said it’s almost halloween, they just announced the arrival of pumpkin spice products at Starbucks.” Piers explained, looking over to his lover. “So means it’s almost halloween then, are we doing anything for the holiday? Giving out candy? Attending a party? A horror movie marathon?”
“Babe, it’s only September, I don't think anyone has made any plans for Halloween yet or given it any thought.” He answered, cutting the sandwich in half and setting the knife down into the sink.
“Sorry I have so much spare time to think about these things.” Piers huffed, shutting the tv off and up to his feet.
“That’s not what I meant, where are you going? I just made us dinner!” He asked, watching as Piers laced up some boots and pulled his jacket on.
“Out, I want to take a walk.” He mumbled, “I’ll eat later.” Slamming the door behind him loudly.
Chris stood in the middle of the living room, two plates in hand and mouth wide open. Things like this have been happening a lot lately, ever since Piers was released from the hospital and they made things official, they’d been fighting a lot. Normal right? Couples fight! Chris would always say to himself, but now? Now maybe things just aren’t what he’s making it out to be.
The last couple weeks, Piers had become more distant, and more prone to these outbursts, and truthfully, he didn’t know why. The man always seemed so chilled out and then two seconds later, he would shut down and not speak anymore for a few hours. Giving the older man the cold shoulder, or locking himself in a room.
Chris huffed, placing the sandwich in a small container and putting it in the fridge for when he returned. Pulling out his phone he looked through his apps before he found the weather app, 50 degrees it said. “Damn it's chilly out!” He said to himself, he ran upstairs grabbing a fluffy blanket that Claire had bought them and pulling on his shoes.
It was normal for Piers to go down to the small river behind their house, so that’s where he headed. Down the dirt path, and under the coloured trees. He took note of the beautiful colors and made a mental note to come take some photos together under the trees.
It wasn’t long before he made it to the waterfront, where he spotted Piers seated on top of a big rock. As quietly as a 200 pound muscular man could be, he made his way towards the younger man, wrapping the blanket around himself and taking a seat next to him, lifting one arm around his shoulder.
Piers didn’t move, didn’t say anything, but he also didn’t move away from him so that was a good sign.
“It’s a little chilly out here, figured you’d be a little cold.” He whispered.
“A bit, thanks.” He said dryly.
“Please tell me what I did wrong this time, I hate when you’re mad at me and I don’t know why.” He asked, looking to his right to face the younger man. He could feel the deep breath that Piers took.
“I’m not mad at you bear.” He whispered, resting his head on the older man’s shoulder. “It’s just I sit at home every day, waiting for you to come back, not being able to do anything because I'm not allowed to leave the premises without you. I’m a caged animal for christ sakes, and i’m tired of it. The B.S.A.A still sees me as a threat to society, so i’m sorry if sometimes that gets to me and I get mad.” He explained.
“They don’t think you’re a threat, Piers. They wouldn’t have let you out of the hospital if they did. Jill and I are fighting for that stupid ass crap to end! You’re not a threat to anyone, well you are always a threat, just not because of the virus.” He said, receiving a small chuckle from Piers.
“I’m still your best soldier you’ll have.” Piers said.
“Of course you are! There's never going to be another Piers Nivans, because we still have the only Piers Nivans.”
“You think they’d allow me to come down to the base on Monday? I'm dying over here by myself all day. I can still help you with paperwork, i’m tired of feeling useless.” Piers said, setting himself up into the man's lap. “I could even help you with some distractions if needed.” He winked, pressing a kiss onto the man's cheek.
“I don’t see why not, rules are that you can’t go anywhere without me, but none state you can’t be in base with me.” Chris replied, pulling the young lieutenant into his embrace.
“Sounds like a plan to me.” Piers said, kissing the inside of the man's neck.
“Seem’s you have other plans now” Chris replied, wrapping his arms firmly around his waist.
“Maybe later bear, somewhere I won't get frostbite on my ass.” Piers chuckled, grinning as he slowly grinded down on his lover's lap, smiling as he could feel lil Chris firmly.
“You’re killing me here Piers!” He mumbled.
“Good! That’s what you get for last night.” Piers laughed, lifting himself up off the captain's lap. “Come on Cap’n, let’s get home, they’re playing the Halloween movies in 30 minutes and I don’t want to miss it.”
“We live 3 minutes away babe, I think we’ll make it.” He laughed, pushing himself off the big rock and readjusting himself to hide his raging boner.
“I want to take a hot shower, wanna join?” Piers asked, intertwining their fingers together.
“Of course I do!” Chris replied, squeezing the man's hand tightly.
“Good! We can shower, and set up downstairs in front of the fire and cuddle up and watch them movies.” Piers said excitedly.
“Only on one condition!” Chris replied, “Clothes are prohibited.”
“You just want to dry hump me like usual.” Piers laughed.
“Is there anything wrong with that?” Chris asked, a smile plastered on his face.
“Nope, but maybe this time you can actually do something else.” Piers winked, letting the man’s hand go. “Race you to the door.” He yelled, taking off quickly, not allowing his lover to register what was happening.
Chris laughed, watching as his lover ran quickly towards the house. If you would’ve told him if this would be his life now, he would’ve never believed you, but he was incredibly happy it was.
But now he was looking forward to ravishing a young lieutenant's body, so he took off running after him, a smile forever remaining on his face.
