Queen One Shots

Bedtime Kiss (Gwilym and Ben)

Gwilym hopped on to the bus. He was in one of those moods. Those ticket to anywhere moods. Those longing out of a rainy bus window moods. His heart was broken, again. The relationship he had with Daniel was never the best. He even got beaten up sometimes. Gwilym just wanted to be loved, to be cared for.

It was one of those late night shifts for Ben. He never really wanted to be a bus driver. He was very new to it as well, he's only been driving this great big red thing around London for about a month. Ben was good at what he did but he was inexperienced.

Ben pulled up into the bus station and got out of his cab. He went around his bus, looking for litter, lost property, and damage. Ben climbed up the stairs to check the top floor. That's when he saw a guy leaning against the window, asleep. He was unsure of what to do, he had never experienced this.

Ben walked up to him and swallowed the lump in his throat. The guy sat there was extremely attractive. His hair was styled but flopped at the front, his stubble looked soft, he had a content smile on his face despite the fact he was sleeping.

Ben tapped his shoulder with a shaking hand, "Uh excuse me, I think you missed your stop"

Gwilym's eyes shot open, "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry" he said whilst rubbing his face

Ben sat down on the seat next to Gwil.

"It's ok. I'm Ben by the way" Ben smiled

"I'm Gwilym, and I'm never usually like this. I just had a lot to deal with earlier and I think it just caught up with me" Gwilym looked down sadly

"It's no trouble, I swear. I can take you home if you'd like" Ben offered

"That would be lovely if I had a home. The reason I got into this mess was because my, now, ex boyfriend dumped me and kicked me out" Gwilym explained

"I'm sorry" Ben put his hand on Gwilym's shoulder, "it gets better, I had the same with my ex boyfriend"

"He beat me" Gwilym crumpled in tears

"Oh Gwilym" Ben hugged him. He didn't think that Gwil's situation was that bad. Ben has gone through his fair share of breakups - but he was never abused.

"It's ok, I'm fine" Gwilym composed himself and wiped away his tears

"You can stay with me if you want? I only have a small flat but I can make room. That's if you want to" Ben asked

"Thank you Ben. It's very kind of you. I'll stay until I can work something out" Gwilym nodded

"Follow me" Ben said softly as he guided Gwilym off the bus and into his car

They entered Ben's flat and sat down on the sofa. The room was small but cosy, Gwilym liked it.

"I'm going to sleep on the sofa. I'll show you to my room" Ben said

Gwilym simply nodded before following Ben down the hallway. Ben sat on the edge of his bed and Gwilym sat down next to him.

"Thank you for this. It's weird for someone to actually care about me" Gwilym confessed

"It's my pleasure. I do care about you, you deserve it. You're a really nice guy" Ben smiled, "I best be going to sleep" Ben stood up and went for the door

"Wait!" Gwilym reaches for Ben's hand and spun him around so they were face to face again.

"What's up?" Ben asked, a bit startled

"This is really embarrassing but...well..I get bad dreams. Nightmares in fact. My ex used to give me a bed time kiss and it worked. I don't want the dreams to come back now he is out of my life" Gwilym hinted

"I see" Ben grinned

Gwilym looked down to his feet, blushing. Ben placed his hand on the older mans jaw and lifted his head to look into his eyes. Simultaneously, they both closed their eyes and leaned in. The kiss was soft and caring. Neither wanted to stop and they only did to catch their breath.

"Thank you" Gwilym said quietly

"Sweet dreams" Ben said before stroking Gwilym's cheek with the pad of his thumb and walking out of the room

It's fair to say that Gwilym has the best sleep of his life - surrounded by sheets and pillows smelling like Ben.
