sorry i was overcome with feelings about them living together and this experimental nonsense poured out of me

You’re awakened sometime in the middle of the night by the opening of your bedroom door and a trail of soft, stocking-muffled steps across your floor. Half-asleep, you smile. Half-asleep, you have no worrisome thoughts, only love. “I missed you, that’s all,” Pennell says, and he accepts your invitation, you lifting the edge of your quilt, to slip into bed beside you. He’s warm, sleep-rumpled, and flannel-soft against you. He lets you snuggle into his arms and rest your cheek against his strong, broad sailor’s chest, and you love him.

You aren’t a man of many words. Your thoughts move at hundreds of rotations per minute, too fast to say the first thing that comes to mind. You choose your words thoughtfully and deliberately. Pennell says he loves that about you. You think it’s a strange trait to love, but then again, you don’t have many lovable things about you. You’re not particularly handsome, you don’t have an easy, outgoing sense of humour. You aren’t optimistic, or strong, or intelligent in a way that invites conversation. And yet, Pennell comes to you every night, even after spending days together, because he misses you when you’re apart. You hold each other and he calls you his Sweet Jane and blushes, still shy when you kiss him silent. He loves you for all the reasons you find yourself lacking, and you wonder if this is what love was always supposed to be.

It can’t last, this love. It’s too bright. It burns your heart from the inside out but all you can do is warm your hands by the fire and touch him. You love touching him. He’s strong and real and human and he loves you, and sometimes when he’s inside you, after keeping you on edge for hours, stretching you out and milking climax after climax out of you just to make sure you’re relaxed enough that the thick stretch of his cock won’t hurt you, it all catches up to you and you feel guilty. You feel guilty for feeling this happy. And Pennell sees it, or senses it, or tastes it through the tears on your cheeks and he holds you closer, grinding his cock into you, deep and close, just to keep your foreheads pressed together. Breathe, he says, and you breathe together, and there is only room for his face, his handsome, beloved face in your field of vision, and you let the pleasure and the joy overtake you.

You’re not a joyful person. You’re stubborn, and you’re a realist. Stubborn in your realism. And yet, when Pennell slips into your bed for the fifth night in a row, you can’t do anything but smile and kiss his forehead, his cheeks, his lips over and over again. He’s here, and he loves you, and you love him. And right now, half-asleep, with Pennell’s arms wrapped around you in a place that is safe and warm and home, you are in love, and that is all.
