Duffs pov:

Steven and I get up. Walking to the bathroom.

We get in the walk in shower.

I turn the water on.

I look at Steven, his hair is wet.

Nothing spectacular happend in the shower, except for a make out session.

We step out of the shower and I get us some towels.

"Shit!" I say as I look at my reflection in the mirror.

I trace the hickeys on my neck.

"What's wrong?" Steven asks, standing behind me. Looking proud at the marks he left on my neck.

"How are we gonna explain this to my mom?" I say.

Damn, I'm glad I left more hickeys on his chest then his neck.

"Fuck." Steven says soft.

"We could tell her." He says, getting his damp hair out of his face.
"About us dating, not this part. That'd be weird."

"She saw us this morning with no hickeys, she knows we haven't left the house. She's gonna put two and two together." I say, scratching the back of my neck.

"She isn't home yet, is she?" Steven asks.
I shake my head.
"We can use some of her make up. To cover up."

I nod. Fuck.

"Or we could yeet an ice pack on them." He says as he checks his own marks out.

His are not that visible.

"We have an ice pack in the fridge." I say.

Steven gets some jeans and a shirt as I hear the front door fall in the lock.

"Shit, mom's home." I say.

"Fuck." Steven says under his breath.

He takes a hoodie from the floor.

"I'll get us something to drink." He says and winks.

He walks down the stairs. I hear muffled voices downstairs.

I get some clothes and sit on my bed.

I hear Shadow bark and the front door close. Mom is probably taking him on a walk.

Steven: your mom is on a walk. We left the wine outside. She didnt see em

I let out a sigh.

A couple minutes later, Steven walks in.

He throws the ice pack at me.

I throw it in my neck.

Steven takes my laptop and opens it.

He puts his arm around me.

"What do you wanna watch?" He asks as he opens Netflix.

He scrolls down.
"Oh my god, the spongebob movie." He says and looks at me.

I laugh.
"Sure man."

We watch the movie.

Mom came back and went to her room.

We decided to watch some Bob Ross afterwards.

I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

"You okay if we tell mom tomorrow?" I ask, with my eyes closed.

"Okay." Steven whispers and kisses my forehead.

In that moment, everything feels perfect.

I try to fight my sleep but I can't.

Eventually I give in and doze off.

I wake up to Steven spooning me.
His arm around my middle.
I could stay like this for ever.

I feel Steven twitching, he's probably dreaming.

All of a sudden he sits upright, breathing heavily.

"Everything okay?" I ask, caressing his cheek.

"Yeah, just a weird dream." Steven says.

"You're safe now." I say.

Steven nods. We sit there for a moment before we get up and get dressed.

Stevens pov:

We walk downstairs, Marie is in the kitchen.

"Mom." Duff says.

Marie looks up.
"What is it honey?"

"We have to tell you something." Duff says.

Marie's eyes glare at mine, then at Duffs, back at mine and so on.

"Okay, what is it?" She asks.

I see Duff struggling to find the right words.

"I'm... bisexual." He says.

Marie looks relieved, like she thought he had killed a man.

"That's fine sweetie. As long as I'm still getting grandkids." She says.

I chuckle.
"You already knew about this sweetie?" She asks me.

"Yeah." I say and look at Duff.

"There's one more thing." Duff says.

I wrap my pinkie around his, knowing Marie can't see it.

"I'm dating." He says.

"Oh how nice!" She says.

"I'm dating Steven." He says.

Marie looks a bit surprised.

"How lovely. Does your mother know honey?" She asks me.

I shake my head.

"For how long, if I may ask." She asks.

"Like half a year. " Duff says.

We sit down on the chairs.
Duff and Marie carry the conversation while I drift off.

I think about the nightmare I had.

I was tied to a chair in a sort of abandoned hangar thingy.

Those men were there too.

Duff was next to me.

They took him to another room next door.

All of a sudden I was there too.

He was tied to a chair.

I...
I screamed so hard it woke me up when they killed him.

I snap back when Marie stands up. I feel uneasy after that dream.
I should find a happy place for things like this.

"Well, I'm off to work. I'll see you boys tonight. There are leftovers in the fridge. Bye." She says and walks to the door.

Duff and I both get up too. We walk upstairs.

"So, what do you want to do today?" Duff asks as he closes his door.

"Oh, I don't care." I say and sit down on the bed.

I just want to be with Duff and take my mind off of things.
Duff sits down next to me.

"I do know who I want to do tho." I say with a small smirk as I lean in.

I see Duff biting the inside of his lip and blushing right before I kiss him.

He kisses me back.
I take his collar in my hand, my other in his hip.

I pull him up, while remaining in my seat, and with my other hand I guide his hips.

Making him sit down on my lap.

I run my hands trough his hair as he cups my face.

The warmth of his hands makes me feel safe.

Yeah, this is definitely my happy place.
