Closer

130.

A couple of days later they had gotten a call from Brett's mom practically begging to get to babysit, and despite Eddy being super unsure about leaving Elise with anyone else, Brett managed to talk him into it with the amazing argument that his mom had raised him so how badly could it go.

They agreed on the following weekend so there would be time to get Brett's old crib out of storage for her to sleep in. Eddy didn't like that either. What if it was too dusty and it would make her sick?

They had just dropped her off and was walking back to the car, and Eddy kept looking back over his shoulder. He still didn't feel completely comfortable with this.
"I'm not so sure about this, Brett, what if..."

"She'll be fine, Eddy," Brett said, taking his hand. "It's just for a few hours while we get some work done."

Eddy looked over his shoulder again before turning his gaze down to the ground.
"I know, I know, it's just... We haven't ever left her with anyone before. I miss her already."

"You're so sweet, Eddy," Brett said with a smile, stopping him outside the car to pull him into a quick kiss. "I love how protective you are of her."

"She's our little girl, of course I'm protective of her," Eddy said, sneaking his arms around Brett's waist, pressing him gently against the car before kissing him again. "It'll be nice to be with you without any responsibility hanging over us, though, even though I miss her."

"Yeah? Anything specific you want to do?" Brett asked softly against Eddy's lips, placing his arms around Eddy's neck. Eddy couldn't help but smile against his lips, pulling Brett closer.

"Work, isn't it?" Eddy chuckled, kissing him quickly again before letting him go and walking around the car to get in the driver's side. Brett stuck his tongue out at him as he opened the car door.

"You're such a tease, god," Brett groaned as he sat in the car with Eddy. He could feel his body ache for his boyfriend's touch.

"That, and your mom staring at us from the window," Eddy snorted as he started the car and Brett turned his head back to the house to see his mother waving with Elise on her arm. He gave an embarrassed wave back, feeling the heat spread over his cheeks.

"God, how much did she see?" Brett mumbled as Eddy pulled out of the driveway. Eddy chuckled and placed a hand on Brett's thigh.

"I don't know, I didn't see her when turning back," Eddy shrugged, removing his hand again to better make a turn. Brett sighed.

"Well, I'm having you before work when we get home, just so you know," Brett said, leaning back in his seat. "Because I really fucking want you now."

"Good thing I want you too, then," Eddy said with a little smile playing on his lips. He was grateful for the fact that they didn't live far away from Brett's parents' house right now.
