They were supposed to enjoy a nice picnic in a local park this afternoon, but the weather had other plans. A cold, wet rain had settled in. Not willing to give up on the idea of a romantic picnic, Steve fixed the picnic blanket on the living room floor and tossed a few pillows to the floor as seats.
Ted smiled at his efforts, although he chose to forgo the pillows, sitting, so he rested his back against the sofa. The colder wet weather was doing a number on his leg; he knew it must have been aggravating Steve’s back something fierce. His long legs rested next to the blanket with the lunch spread on it; A plate of rolled-up cold cuts with bowls of cubed cheese, pickles, grapes, slices of apples, and the like.
“Come here,” Ted reached up and grabbed Steve’s hand as he returned to the room carrying a bottle of lager and a pint of Ted’s favorite whiskey, carefully pulling him down to settle on the floor between his legs. His warm body pressed flush against Steve’s back.
“That’s better, fella. Looks delicious, here,” Ted said as he placed the drinks on the blanket. He grabbed a cube of cheese from one of the bowls, holding it to Steve’s lips. Steve grinned as he gingerly took the cheese from his fingers with his teeth, tucking in his cheek, his tongue darting out to lap the fingers still in front of his lips.
“Hmmmm, really now?” Ted nuzzled his nose against the back of Steve’s ear, reaching for a roll of the cold cuts, bringing one to his mouth, taking a bite, and offering the rest to Steve.
Again, similar treatment to his fingers, but this time with a gentle nip to the retreating digits. Ted couldn’t restrain his low moan at the gesture.
“Good thing we are having this picnic here, not at the park. It wouldn’t do for the head of AC-12 and his best DCI to get arrested on outrage to public decency charges, and we most certainly would if you keep that up, mhuirnin,” Ted whispered against Steve’s neck.
Then he proceeded to do positively ‘ illegal things’ with his own tongue on Steve's neck, given they were in the privacy of their own home.
