Work Text:
It’s late Friday night and I’m stuck at home. Ben is at some gala for some history thingy and I should be with him, but I’m stuck here at home working on code for some client that I had put off all week.
Eventually I was working for so long I couldn’t see straight so I figure I’m done with it for tonight. it’s already almost midnight, Ben should be home soon. I close my computer and head to the bathroom to take a quick shower before I go to bed.
After I shower and laid down in bed I could only think about Ben and how I feel terrible for not going tonight . I know Ben hates going to those events but work got in the way. i just want to do nothing tomorrow but lay around with Ben.
By now I’m fading in and out of sleep when I feel two cold hands slip under my shirt. I flinch at first from the cold then I realized it’s Ben and melted into his touch. All I can get out is a low moan like sound telling him I’m awake. I roll over to see him laying next to me and wrap my own arms around him pressing my face into his chest.
“Tonight was so long” Ben says into my hair “sorry I couldn’t come I really wanted to you know.”
“It’s fine, don’t worry Abigail was there to keep me company. You didn’t miss anything interesting.” I move away from him just enough to look up at him and kiss him. “Oh well, I’ll come to the next one.”
He kisses me back and says “ We have the rest of our lives.”
