Work Text:
Joe was still reading the newspaper when he came into the living room.
Joe: "Nico? You have to hear this story about a farmer who lost a fight to a..."
Joe looked up from the newspaper, expecting to find Nicky sitting in the corner in his favourite chair with a book, but the only thing Joe saw was their cat curled up in a sunbeam.
Joe: "I don't suspect you have seen my Husband, Italy?"
The cat had gotten its name for two reasons: one: Nicky was from Italy, and two: Joe's favourite national football team was Italy.
Joe: "Nicky is right. You don't tell on people."
Joe looked a bit to his right and saw Nicky's feet. Joe kneeled on the sofa and looked down at Nicky with a smile. Nicky's shirt had crawled a bit up, so his tummy was showing.
Joe: "Why are you hiding behind the sofa?"
Nicky: "I don't feel like eating another home-cooked meal cooked by Andy."
Joe: "What if I tell you it is Quynh who is doing the cooking?"
Nicky: "Tempting, but with all kinds of respect for Quynh's cooking, I would prefer a certain Tunisian dish tonight."
Joe: "I have the same thoughts about a certain Italian dish, but it is Andy's birthday, and if we don't show up, she might find her axe."
Nicky: "If you put it like that, but I want that Tunisain dish as a midnight snack."
Joe: "And I want that Italian dish for breakfast."
Nicky stretched his body with a tired yawn, revealing more of his gorgeous body under the shirt. Then, Nicky looked at Joe with a mischievous smile.
Nicky: "Just giving you a preview of the dish you ordered."
Joe licked his lips with a smirk.
Joe: "I can't wait to taste my dish. Come, let me help you up, so we can get going."
Joe walked around the sofa before offering Nicky a hand, which he took, and Joe pulled Nicky to his feet. After a kiss, Nicky lifted Joe's shirt before licking Joe's abs. It made Joe moan.
Joe: "You do know I love your mouth on my body?"
Nicky nodded.
Joe: "That is why it pains me to say this: We don't have time to do whatever you have planned."
After one more lick on Joe's abs, Nicky rolled down Joe's shirt before kissing Joe's nose.
Nicky: "I know that. I just wanted a taste of the dish I ordered. And I like what I tasted."
Nicky scratched Italy behind its ears before leaving the living room. A second after that, Joe's brain had rebooted, and he caught up with Nicky in the hallway.
Joe: "Hi, wait a second with taking the jacket on. I also want a taste of the dish I ordered."
Nicky took Joe's jacket before throwing it over to Joe.
Nicky: "We don't have the time for that, or else we will be late, and the last thing we want is to give Andy an excuse to find her axe."
Joe groaned but took on his jacket. When they got outside, Joe placed an arm around Nicky's waist before pulling him closer.
Joe: "You do know once we get home I will get my payback for that little stunt you did in the living room."
Nicky snuggled into Joe.
Nicky: "That was why I did it. And I can't wait."
Joe kissed Nicky on his head before they walked the last mile to Andy and Quynh's place, while Joe told Nicky the story about the farmer.
