Way had just poured himself a drink when his phone rang. A smile spread across his lips as he saw that it was his lover. He tried to push back the small ping of sadness that Pete wouldn’t be home for Chrimstas. He’d tried to make it back but the business deal had taken longer than planned. “Hey, make it safely to the room?” Way settled back in his bar seat. He looked over the elegant decorations for Christmas that he’d paid for so that they could have the party that the boys wanted to have. He honestly should have made Babe and Charlie host with all that enthusiasm but there were still limits and no one wanted to peer over to find them having sex. He at least had enough space to host and a well stocked bar.
“No.” Pete answered teasingly.
“No? Still at the office.” Way huffed, then wrinkled his nose.
“Not there either.”
“Then where are…you?” Way frowned as he heard the chime of his doorbell. He glanced at his phone to check the group chat for the others. They were on their way not here. “One moment.”
“Take your time.” Pete replied as Way got out of his seat. He slipped off the barstool leaving his drink behind as he went to the door.
“Pete?” Way sputtered before grinning happily. He didn’t hesitate to grab the man by the lapels of his jacket. The sadness was gone, replaced by happiness and a hunger that had nothing to do with the food waiting for his family to arrive.
“I missed you too.’ Pete smiled against Way’s lips before kissing him. A current of want slid down his spine as Way gave in easily to allow him to deepen the kiss. He could taste the rich whiskey that Way had been enjoying. His eyes slid shut as Way’s hands made their way up into Way’s hair. Lithe fingers settling into his silky hair before gripping gently. Pete let out a pleased moan just as the sound of Way’s family arriving behind him.
“Oh shit!” Sonic’s voice gasped when he caught sight.
“Oh, so that’s why he wasn’t answering our calls!” North tacked on, not that it stopped Way from continuing to kiss Pete. In fact, the only change was that he felt one of those hands drop from his hair.
“That’s not nice.” Alan’s voice sounded amused as the others began to tease about him flipping them off.
“It wasn’t meant to be; besides we’ve all seen more than our share from the likes of those two.” Way said once he pulled away; his gaze flickering to the amused Charlie and Babe. “Just go inside. You’re ruining the moment with your stupid.” He kept his hands on Pete, guiding them to step aside.
Pete couldn’t help but chuckle as Way dropped his head onto his shoulder as the others cooed when they passed them to get inside.
“Thank you.” Way leaned in to kiss him softly, “I know that’s not what you planned when you got here.”
“No, it was pretty much that. Just more inside your house and less them able to get in.” Pete mused.
“Except-” Way started while wincing sheepishly
“Babe has the code.” Pete sighed, shaking his head. He gently lifted Way’s chin to lean in for another chaste kiss. “Tonight we are going to change it so that we can celebrate me being home properly.”
“Okay.” Way breathed out before stealing another kiss.
