Work Text:
Arthur had been waiting all day for his husband to come back, a daily routine he was used to by now, although he didn’t necessarily like it. He never liked being lonely, even if Miss Anneli was there to keep him company. She usually just cleaned and swept the house, occasionally having small talk with Arthur, by chance. He might’ve been daydreaming about some…lewd stuff let’s just say. He was just at the dining table, having some tea and crumpets, until he heard the door open, he suddenly shot up, excited to see his husband standing right by the door, he rushed over to him, embracing him into a tight, affectionate hug. Leon hugged back, taking Arthur into his arms. The both of them kind of just stood there, enjoying each others presence until, finally, Leon spoke.
”I missed you, my love.”
Arthur nodded, and he pointed to the dining room all across the hall, signaling that he had made tea and crumpets for the both of them.
”I see, that’s awful kind of you.”
Arthur grabbed him by the wrist and he dragged him to the dining table, the both of them sitting down. Arthur pulled out his notebook and pencil and started writing.
So, how was your day, darling?
Leon immediately grinned as he looked at what he wrote in the notebook, speaking cheerfully.
“It was…average, as per usual, and yours?”
Lonely. Without you.
Arthur laid his hand on his husband’s thigh, which immediately made Leon flush up just a tad bit. The both of them just sat in silence, having their evening tea and crumpets, admiring the other, and Leon felt even more flushed up as he could feel the hand on his thigh squeeze, Arthur smiled largely as soon he took notice of how flustered he was asking, scooting his chair closer, and keeping eye contact on him. He started writing in his notebook again.
Can we move to the couch, love? I’ve been needing some cuddles…
”Of course, darling.”
Leon took their dishes and cleaned them, when he was finished he took Arthur and the both of them plopped onto the couch, Arthur almost instinctively scooted as close as he could, wrapping his arms around his partner, burying his head onto his shoulder, nuzzling his face as he did so. Leon found this extremely cute, and he patted his head.
”You’re just the most adorable thing to ever exist, you know…”
Arthur’s face heated up, and he looked up, face red. He huffed before nuzzling his face onto his partner’s shoulder again, eventually moving to his neck, he had a scent of smoke and ink, and he wondered if he had smoked today. He lifted up his head again, grabbing the notebook and pen.
Did you have a cigarette today? It’s pretty obvious. I told you not to smoke as much!
“My bad, my bad. I did have a fag earlier today. I’m trying, Iggy, I really am.”
I’ll let you off the hook this time. Just this one time. I just don’t want you to get sick, ok?
“Iggy. You know how I am with illnesses. I don’t think I’ll get sick anytime soon.”
He chuckled a little, dropping the serious act as Arthur turned his head away and huffed. Leon had always been a germaphobe, he was very unlikely to get sick. In fact, in the beginning of their relationship, Leon was very icky on physical touch, Arthur could barely touch him. Eventually, Leon gave in and let Arthur hug and cuddle him all he wanted. However, he's still icky about other people touching him even if it's just a handshake. Arthur likes the fact he's the only one allowed to touch him....Leon placed a gentle kiss to the other’s forehead, causing him to blush and hide in his shoulder. Leon suddenly felt tired and he closed his eyes, letting Arthur rest his head on his shoulder, he noticed he was starting to close his eyes, and he started to close his own eyes as well. The two of them drifted into sleep, resting on the couch.
An hour or two later, Arthur started to flutter his eyes open, observing that Leon was still asleep. He gently played with the soft, smooth curls of his hair, admiring the sleepy, cute guy. He loved seeing him like this, so sleepy and cute….Until he felt something on his pants.
SHIT!!
He had peed his pants while sleeping. He felt the now cooled down liquid all over his pants and the couch, and he started to hyperventilate, his breathing becoming unstable by the minute, what would Leon think about this? He just wet himself like a toddler, he felt so pathetic..until he noticed Leon opening his eyes, looking still exhausted, and he immediately scooted away from him, not daring to look at him. Leon eventually fully opened his eyes and looked at Arthur, who had scooted away, with an anxious look on his face, which made him curious, but worried. He looked down to see both Arthur’s pants and the couch wet. He sighed, talking in a very soft voice, as if he was talking to a child.
”It’s alright. Come here, idiot..”
Arthur hesitated at first, but he eventually scooted back, whimpering while he nuzzled his face on his shoulder. Leon comforted him, running his hand through his hair. It was silky, shiny and well combed.
"Shh...shh...it's alright...it's not a big deal.."
Leon pulled Arthur's face up from his shoulder, caressing his cheek until he leaned in for a gentle but affectionate kiss. Both their lips parted and gently moved, until Arthur pulled away, blushing awkwardly. Leon smiled and he stood up, grabbing Arthur by the arm, to the staircase, then to their bedroom.
He laid him on the bed, grabbing a clean set of clothes and boxers.
“Here you go.”
He handed Arthur the clean set of clothes and boxers, and he started to change himself, Leon looking to the side so he wouldn’t be uncomfortable. He eventually changed into clean clothes, feeling much better than earlier. He had realized he had left the notebook downstairs. Usually when he didn’t have the notebook to communicate, he usually just signed.
Can you grab me the notebook and pen from downstairs, love? Please?
“Of course.”
Leon had exited the bedroom, quickly walking down the staircase, looking for the notebook and pen, and once he successfully found it, he snatched it and went right back upstairs, handing Arthur the notebook and pen. Surprisingly, he went straight into writing.
Thank you, dear. May I have some more cuddles now?
Leon lightly chuckled, ruffling his hair, leaving his hair messy from before. Arthur huffed, and plunked down onto the comfy bed, laying his head on the fluffy pillow. Leon followed him, plunking himself on the bed as well, lying down. He scooted closer, until embracing Arthur into his arms, tight, but not too tightly so he could breathe at least. Arthur could feel the heat radiating from his partner’s body, feeling a sudden warmth as he was dragged into his arms. He looked up, and grinned. Leon saw that goofy little grin of his, and he placed a kiss on the top of his head.
I love you.
"Ich liebe dich."
