One week later, Joseph had to handle some business for the day, leaving Benji alone in the apartment. "Don't be stubborn now, give me my goodbye kiss," Joseph had said, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Pretty please?"
Benji had rolled his eyes but leaned in, his lips meeting Joseph's in a kiss that was both sweet and fiery. "Fine," he murmured against Joseph's mouth. "But don't be out too late."
"Pretty please?" Joseph whispered, his thumb tracing the line of Benji's jaw before pulling away with a grin. "Call me if you need anything."
Benji couldn't help but chuckle at Joseph's antics. "Alright, I'll be good," he promised, watching as Joseph disappeared into the Escalade, the engine purring to life with a low growl. He waved as the taillights grew smaller, swallowed by the early morning light.
Once Joseph was out of sight, Benji grabbed his phone and called him. "What's up?" Joseph answered, his voice filled with laughter.
"You know what's up," Benji said, his tone playful. "Missing you already."
"Already?" Joseph chuckled, the sound of the car's engine fading in the background. "I just left."
"Yeah, but you're always on my mind," Benji said, his voice a warm caress over the phone line. He could almost feel Joseph's smile through the screen.
When Joseph finally walked through the door that night, the apartment felt like it had been holding its breath in anticipation. Benji was sprawled out on the couch, his eyes heavy with the weight of the day. "Hey, baby," Joseph greeted, his voice a gentle rumble.
Benji looked up, a sleepy smile gracing his lips. "Hey," he murmured, his eyes lighting up at the sight of his love. "You're home early."
"Couldn't stay away from you," Joseph said, his voice thick with affection as he walked over to the couch. He leaned down, placing a gentle kiss on Benji's forehead before sitting down beside him. "You okay?"
Benji nodded, his eyes drooping. "Just tired," he said, his voice muffled by the pillow. "Missed you."
The TV played on, the laugh track of a sitcom providing a comforting background noise. Joseph leaned down, his hand finding the remote, and the room grew quiet. "Come on," he said, gently pulling Benji to his feet. "Let's go to bed."
Benji yawned, stretching like a cat. "But McDonald's is open at this time of night," he protested weakly, his stomach rumbling despite his protest.
"Not happening," Joseph said with a firmness that didn't quite match the amusement in his eyes. "I am not going to a drive-thru at this hour again for the third night in a row, Benji." He chuckled, standing up and wrapping his arms around Benji's waist.
But Benji's eyes lit up with hope. "Please, baby?" he said, batting his eyelashes and pouting. "I'm starving."
For a moment, Joseph's resolve wavered, and then he sighed, a reluctant smile playing on his lips. "Alright," he said, "but only because it's you." He picked Benji up in a bridal carry, making him squeal with laughter. "You're lucky I love you."
They stumbled down the stairs, Joseph's laughter echoing through the apartment. The cold night air hit them as they stepped outside, a stark contrast to the warmth of their embrace. The Charger's engine roared to life, the headlights cutting through the darkness. Benji leaned into Joseph, his head on his shoulder, his eyes closed. The tension of the day melted away as Joseph drove through the quiet streets, the neon signs of the city casting a glow through the car windows.
When they pulled up to the drive-thru, Joseph rolled his eyes, but the smile on Benji's face was infectious. He placed the order with a good-natured sigh, unable to resist the sweetness of Benji's voice. "Two Big Macs, one with extra cheese," Benji called out from the passenger seat, his voice filled with excitement.
As they waited, Benji's hand found Joseph's thigh, his thumb idly tracing small circles through the fabric of his jeans. "Thank you, baby," he whispered, his voice thick with affection.
"Anything for you," Joseph murmured, leaning down to press a soft kiss to Benji's forehead. The scent of leather and engine oil clung to him, a comforting reminder of their shared world. Benji couldn't help but smile at the thought of Joseph, the powerful, in-control man, succumbing to his whims.
In the car, Benji's hand remained on Joseph's thigh, his thumb moving in soothing circles as they drove through the quiet streets. The neon lights painted the night in vibrant colors, a stark contrast to the serene interior of the Charger. The warmth of Benji's touch seeped into Joseph's skin, reminding him of the intimate moments they had shared earlier that day. He couldn't help but lean into the affection, his own hand coming to rest on Benji's, their fingers lacing together.
When they arrived back at the apartment, Joseph carried Benji up the stairs again, the weight of their love and happiness as light as a feather. He laid him on the bed, his eyes drinking in the sight of his lover, the golden necklace a glinting reminder of their commitment. "You're going to be the death of me," he said, his voice filled with affection as he peeled back the covers.
"But you love it," Benji teased, his voice muffled by a yawn. "You love me."
"That's true," Joseph said, his smile warm and genuine. "But we can't keep living on fast food." He sat on the bed, his hand stroking Benji's hair. "Let's get some sleep, and I'll make us a proper breakfast tomorrow."
Benji pouted, but the warmth of Joseph's touch made it impossible for him to stay upset. "Okay," he conceded, his voice filled with a sleepy contentment.
