Sending an ask for nice ask day!!

Noticed we have a lot of similar fandom interests -- if David, Patrick, Carlos, TK, Alex, and Henry were to meet, where would it happen? who would get along the most outside of the pairing?

hello! What a great ask! I love finding people who share multiple fandoms, so hello new friend!!! 💖

Believe it or not, this is something I’ve thought about previously, so strap in.

A while back @blackandwhiteandrose wrote a fic (about how David and TK were friends (if you love both characters, you should read this fic, it’s so good) back when David still lived in NYC. Having read it and discussed it with BWR later, I wholeheartedly agree that they were friends who lost touch after TK moved to Austin. Not immediately though - you know in s1 of SC how David is always on the phone texting? We know that his NYC friends were mostly assholes, so who was he texting? TK.

TK probably got a new phone or deleted all of his NYC contacts when he moved to Austin, so he lost David’s number then too. But maybe he’s scrolling Instagram one day and comes across Alexis’ account or the Rose Apothecary account, or maybe Nancy is laughing hysterically at Moira’s accidental live stream of the conversation about David’s oopsie-daisy and eventually TK gets back in touch with David. They’re both happy now, really happy. Deeply in love, safe and content with who they are as people, happy.

Patrick suggests that he and David make the trip to Austin and David can catch up with TK while they’re there. (There’s probably some kind of sportsball game Patrick would want to watch, idk).

I’m taking liberties now, but bear with me. While they’re in Austin, they go to a restaurant and there’s a fire. Please go read @missgeevious’s absolutely hysterical fic to find out what happens.

Once Patrick gets over his mortification (it’s short lived, David won’t allow it, there are food trucks to visit and proper bbq to be had), they go with TK and Carlos on a tour of Carlos’ favourite food trucks and end up at Franklin’s BBQ, which David wanted to go to because he read about it in an article about FSOTUS.

Carlos raises a brow at David’s seeming insistence on wearing sweaters in the Texas heat, but he’s glad it’s not actually summer or TK might need to put his paramedic skills to work on his friend. There’s a moment when Carlos catches Patrick’s eye as their respective husbands are chatting loudly and gesticulating wildly and there’s a fond resignation in Patrick’s expression that he recognises. One that says, “sometimes I can’t believe that I chose him but I’m so glad every day that I did.” Carlos feels that way about TK too.

When they make it to Franklin’s the line is long and Carlos notices the presence of private security officers in suits - unusual for somewhere like Franklin’s. The reason for it becomes apparent when they realize that Alex, Henry, Nora and June are ahead of them in line. They’d come to Texas for a long weekend at the lake house. It’s David who recognises them first - Alexis used to have a giant crush on Prince Henry, she’d met him once before at a party on a yacht (Pez dragged Henry to the party), and in the way that only Alexis can, had come home and huffed that Henry must not be interested in women, “because, David, he, like, barely even looked at me and I was wearing that sparkly Balenciaga!” (Little did she know that she was correct. “I knew it!” she proclaimed when news broke of the emails, before she’d gone all teary eyed once the enormity of what had happened to Alex and Henry had hit her).

Turns out that the world is both too big and ridiculously small - Carlos and June had taken a class together at UT, even worked on a group assignment together. When June comes over to say hi to Carlos, they end up all sitting together: David, Patrick, TK, Carlos, Alex, Henry, June and Nora. They share their food and laugh so much and more than one other patron does a double take at the ridiculous level of hotness sitting at their tables.

David gets along surprisingly well with Nora - she reminds both him and Patrick of Stevie, in a way. Carlos and Henry become fast friends and it’s not long before he and Alex are talking in Spanish about their favourite foods as well. David, TK and Alex - in an uncoordinated attack - separately try to steal food off their respective partners’ plates only to be met with loud protests, followed by triumph, because their partners never really say no. There’s laughter when they realise what’s happened simultaneously around the table.

They sit there talking and laughing and eating until they realise that the sunlight is fading and they’ve been there for hours now, simply enjoying the company and revelling in feeling happy, and safe, and free.

Behind the Keyboard: Volume 7

Behind the Keyboard is a series of interviews with different Schitt’s Creek fanfic authors. The series will last as long as there is interest (from authors) and capacity (from me). If you are an author from the Schitt’s Creek fandom who would like to participate, send a DM to this account.  

Each author was given ten questions. The first five questions are the same for every author, the last five will vary.

Remember, this year’s Reading Challenge begins July 15, so polish up those MFL lists.

Let’s meet our next author:

railmedaddy/ @rmd-writes

How many fics have you written?

28 Schitt’s Creek fics, 44 fics in total

When did you publish your first fic on AO3?

February 2021

Describe your writing process from “Oh, I have an idea” to pushing publish on AO3. 

Basically once something sparks my imagination - a prompt, a tweet, a line of dialogue, something a friend has said - I go from that to saying to a friend/s “but what if—” or if I’m lucky, the entire plot springs to mind and I try and jot at least some of it down before I lose it, usually in someone’s DMs or a group chat cos it’s most convenient. I’ll copy those notes and any brainstorming that may have happened with friends into a google doc and once I’m ready to write, I use those notes as my initial outline. Sometimes I add more notes, sometimes I just write, it depends on the fic and my intentions for how long/complex it’ll be. 

The actual writing varies depending on time available/mood/whether the words are working. I do a lot of writing on my phone cos it’s convenient and I can write anywhere - on public transport, while dinner is cooking, from the bath tub.

For a longer fic, I’ll sometimes have a friend read along as I write, or I share snippets with some friends - that validation helps keep me going! It also helps to know that certain things are hitting the way I want them to. 

I tend to edit as I go, often editing the parts I’ve written before I start writing again. But once I’m done, I try and edit as if I’m betaing someone else’s work and then, depending on the fic and my mood, either have someone beta it or, more often than you’d think for someone who does a lot of beta work for others, just hit publish — once I come up with a title!! Titles are usually the trickiest part for me, quite often I have everything ready to go on ao3 and am sitting there trying to think of a title so I can post. 

Tell me about your most recent fic? What do you love about it? Is there anything you think you could have done better?

My most recent fic isn’t for Schitt’s Creek (I’m currently writing for three fandoms). But my most recent Schitt’s Creek fic is serendipity - a 601 word drabble, about David & Patrick’s first wedding anniversary that popped into my head.

If I can cheat and talk about my second most recent SC fic though, cos it’s a little more substantial - i hope this is forever - which is the second in a two-part series featuring artist!David and written within the framework of a poem that inspired the fic. As soon as I read the poem I knew I wanted to write this part of the story!

I loved working with a poem as a guide for the story, which isn’t something I’ve done before, and it was a fun way to add to a story that I hadn’t actually intended to write more of until I read the poem!

As for whether I could’ve done anything better, I mean there are always things that can be improved, tweaking the wording or punctuation etc but at some point you have to stop obsessing over those things and just do the thing! I don’t think I’d change anything substantial though, I’m pretty proud of this series, I think it’s some of my best writing. 

What advice would you give to someone who’s thinking about publishing their fic for the first time?

Do it! It’s terrifying, but if you have a friend to read over the fic first, not even to beta, just to read it and tell you how amazing you are, that can help with the nerves. My other trick is to hit post and then go to sleep so you’re not anxiously refreshing the page waiting to see if people are clicking (or is that just me?). Timezones mean that I can usually do this and then (hopefully) wake up to some lovely comments. 

Also, it’s cliché but it’s true - write what you want to read. If nothing else, you’ll have these stories to come back to for yourself. 

What’s one thing that you’d like to say to your favorite Schitt’s Creek character?

Just one thing? To just one character? Impossible!

The beginning, middle or end of a fic. Which do you like the most? Which is the worst?

Yes. 

Tricky question! I think I like writing the middle the most through - the guts of the fic, where all the things happen and you get to really have some fun. 

Worst is endings, I often struggle to actually finish a fic and know where to finish it, even if I have a clear end point in terms of plot. 

Are you interested in writing original fiction?

No, that’s not for me. I really enjoy playing with other people’s characters and delving into their stories, but original fiction isn’t something I aspire to. There are many fic writers out there who I’d buy original fiction from though!

When did you start writing?

I write a fair bit in my day job, helping other people to tell their stories, but it’s very different. I didn’t start writing fiction until February 2021 just before I posted my first fic! I hadn’t written fiction before that since high school which was… well, I’m the same age as Dan Levy so you do the maths. 

Outlines - yes or no?

Yes, but not always, and they vary in quality. Sometimes the outline is just a couple of dot points, or a line or two of dialogue and and a concept. Other times, it’s detailed, chapter by chapter with bits of dialogue and specific plot points I want to hit.

My Top Posts in 2022:

So originally my nano goal was to write 50k of one specific work (Library Boy) but almost immediately after the word count of that surpassed the longest thing I wrote at about 29k I just lost motivation in favor of working on other projects... but I've been tracking all of my writing, and if I write about 4600 words tonight I can still hit 50k words for the month. Not my original goal, but still something to be proud of. So, I'm working on a mainly stream of consciousness fic with nothing but a sentence and a sad personal memory twisted for creative purposes and hopefully lots of fluff.

So here goes... 269/4579

WIP Wednesday

David: hey are you guys okay over there? I’m going to have to stay with Patrick for the foreseeable future Alexis: oooh David! Mom is worried about her wigs if it gets too cold, but we’re fine. Have fun with your button! David: ugh it’s not like that, I literally have no choice, the ice has trapped me in here Alexis: sure David *wink* how many beds are in his room? David looks over at the bed, not having considered that just yet. Fuck. David: um just one… can you open your door? Maybe you can break the ice from the outside? Alexis: I just tried, I think we’re stuck too. David. I’m stuck in here alone with mom and dad. What am I supposed to do now? David: you’ll be fine. My battery is dying, I’m turning my phone off. I’ll text you from Patrick’s phone later, okay? Alexis: ughh fine. Have fun snuggling with Patrick in his bed! David powers his phone off and looks back up to find Patrick watching him. “I’m hungry. Please tell me you got enough food for both of us?” Patrick throws David a protein bar. “I have enough protein bars to last us weeks, but not much else. We won’t starve, but we’ll probably be craving the cafe’s food by the time we get out of here.” David laughs bitterly, “I can’t imagine that happening, but I really hope you have more than just protein bars.”

Bargain + bonus word blanket

For @schittscreekdrabbleblog word of the week

“David Rose, do you understand what it truly means to make a bargain with the devil?”

“Um, are you the devil?”

“Of course I’m the devil. What did you expect the devil to look like?” 

“Well, for one, I didn’t expect the devil to roll up in mid range denim and a blue button down looking like a boring business major.”

“Ouch, David. Stereotypes hurt. Now, is this blanket really worth giving up your soul to me for eternity?”

“It’s really fucking soft.”

“Alright, there you go. Eternally comfortable blanket, to keep you extra toasty in the fires of hell.”

For @schittscreekdrabbleblog word of the week: Inspiration

“I’m really lacking inspiration lately. Can’t you guys get up to some shenanigans or something?” The author says from everywhere and nowhere. “What, I thought you all love this domestic fluff?” Patrick says from the couch as David leaned further into his husband’s arms. “This is true, and you’re being absolutely adorable right now, but there’s only so many ways I can describe the two of you snuggled up together watching another rom-com.” “Sometimes I let him watch sports!” David pipes up, proudly. “And he rarely complains about it anymore.” “Fine, but I’m getting Stevie to shake things up tomorrow.”

smutsgiving 2023 (david x patrick edition)

What is smutsgiving you might ask? You can click that link to see where this started last year, but essentially it’s a drabble challenge: write 100 words of smut and share it on American Thanksgiving, for a treat.

And with that, here is my first smutsgiving offering, for my Schitt’s Creek pals:

Walking backwards, David beckons Patrick towards him with a raised brow and his fingers. His husband smirks, then covers the distance in four easy strides until he has David pressed against the tiles, the already warm water streaming over them both.

David laughs, smiling into the kiss Patrick demands from him, because this is fucking fun. It quickly turns into a moan when Patrick sucks on his lower lip, slamming their hips together.

Patrick is hot and hard against him; David grabs his ass then shifts so that their hard cocks slide together, the resulting moans echoing off the tiles.

[rmd-writes]

deny + david/patrick

thanks for the prompt, J! Have a little bit of filth + feelings, because what else would I write for you? 💖

Ordinarily, Patrick is loath to deny David anything. It goes against his very nature not to give David everything he wants and needs. But sometimes – like now – denying him is exactly what they both need. David is a vision spread against white cotton, writhing and begging Patrick for more as he strains against the silk tying his wrists to the headboard. He looks completely debauched –  a sheen of sweat on his skin, lips kiss-swollen and red, marks littering his body showing exactly where Patrick has written his love into David’s skin.  He’s the most beautiful thing Patrick has ever seen.

seven sentence sunday

[insert usual caveat re it being monday here] thank you for the tags @heartstringsduet @carlos-in-glasses @reyesstrand @welcometololaland @alrightbuckaroo @three-drink-amy @strandnreyes @morganaspendragonss @fortunatelydecaffeinateddinosaur @liminalmemories21 @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut @irispurpurea @cha-melodius so many delicious snippets to start my day with! 💖

the snippet I have to share isn’t from a fandom that any of you are in, sorry! But it’s what I’m working on atm

David is close enough to Patrick that he can see just how long Patrick’s eyelashes are, framing his gorgeous whiskey coloured eyes. Above them, that one curl that’s been driving David mad because it always hangs over his forehead sits, begging to be brushed off his face. 

He gives into temptation and reaches out, pushing the curl back with two fingers only for it to bounce back down. Patrick flashes that curious upside down smile. “There’s no hope, it won’t stay.”

Bringing his hand down, David cups Patrick’s cheek gently, angling his face up. “Patrick,” he whispers. 

So many people have been tagged already but let’s try (sorry if you’ve already been tagged or I haven’t seen your snippet yet!) @basilsunrise @never-blooms @sunshinestrand @reyescarlos @hippolotamus @rosedavid @apothecarose @mostlyinthemorning @stereopticons @chelle-68 @ramonaflow @cheesecurdsgravyandfries @everwitch-magiks @clottedcreamfudge and an open tag if anyone wants to share!

David x Patrick and 10 please ❤️

I’ve assigned each kiss prompt I received a number and am using a random number generator to choose which prompt to write because I got quite a few from you all! As a reminder, I’m trying to keep these to around 200 words and I’m going to try and do at least one per day til they’re all done. If you’ve sent me a prompt, I promise I’ll get to it!

Thanks for this prompt! Throwing it back to some night at Stevie’s era fun 💖

a kiss, desperately

He thought that finally getting the chance to connect with David would help. And it did. Except that while Patrick was consumed with the thought of what it might feel like to take his time with David, to explore his beautiful body and to be inside him, he didn’t consider what it would be like to know all of those things.

So now, when he knows all of that, when memories of that night at Stevie’s play like a film on a loop in his mind, Patrick struggles to focus on anything else.

David turning up for work in those tight white jeans with the grey splotches that hug his thighs so tightly certainly doesn’t help things. Either does the way his sweater rides up at the back as he reaches to restock the upper shelves.

Patrick takes himself to the back room and busies himself with ordering stock in an attempt to be productive. He’s marginally successful until David comes looking for him.

“Patrick? What are you doing back here?” David asks, coming to stand in front of him where he sits on the couch.

“Just reordering some stock,” Patrick says, studiously staring at his laptop screen. If he looks up, he’s going to be face to face with David’s crotch.

“Okay, well I’m starting to feel like you’re avoiding me and maybe you’re experiencing some delayed regrets, which honestly, that tracks and if that’s the case, that’s fine, I guess and—”

David is pacing now and Patrick closes the laptop and places it on the small table beside him before reaching out and catching David’s wrist on his next pass.

“David,” Patrick cuts him off and stands. “I don’t regret anything.”

“You don’t?” David’s surprise seems genuine and it tugs at Patrick’s heart.

“No, I don’t,” he says, stepping closer. “In fact, I can’t stop thinking about the other night.”

David’s mouth twists to the side and his dimple pops. He brings his hands to Patrick’s shoulders. “Is that so?”

Patrick exhales. There’s a level of desperation coursing through his body now that he’s physically touching David that he’s not sure he’s ever experienced.

Stepping closer so that there’s no space left between them, Patrick cups the back of David’s head and crashes their lips together. David melts into him, licking into Patrick’s mouth and he lets himself drown in the perfect pressure of David’s lips and the warm slide of their tongues. It’s intense and dizzying; Patrick simultaneously wants to lose himself in this moment forever and also wants more.

This one is for @celeritas2997 too! Thank you both for this prompt 💖

a kiss because they’re running out of time

“Five more minutes,” David bargains, tightening his arms around Patrick’s shoulders.

“David,” Patrick chides him, but David knows he’s won because his husband’s eyes are big and round and his mouth is curved into his upside down smile.

Patrick presses a kiss to his spot on David’s neck and then slots their lips together in a lingering kiss. When he pulls away, David chases him, stealing another kiss and coaxing Patrick’s mouth open with a swipe of his tongue. He scratches at the hair at the nape of Patrick’s neck and Patrick hums happily.

“David, you need to go,” Patrick murmurs reluctantly.

“Two more minutes,” he insists, pressing his forehead to Patrick’s.

Patrick strokes his back and David feels some of the tension thrumming underneath his skin ease at his touch.

“Go visit Alexis, you’ll have a great time,” Patrick says softly.

“Are you sure we can’t close the store and you can come too?”

David can’t see Patrick’s face clearly with their foreheads pressed together like this, but he can almost feel him smiling.

“I’m sure. They’re calling your flight, you need to go.” Patrick nudges David’s nose with his before kissing him gently again. “One for the road,” he says before releasing David.

“Love you.”

“I love you too, now go.”

David x Patrick + 2!

Thank you for this prompt! It’s my last David & Patrick kiss prompt and I’ve had so much fun writing them and playing with these characters again, I missed them 💖

a kiss to say goodnight

Quite frankly, David was surprised to find Patrick waiting for him afterwards. He’s not sure that any relationship he’s had – if he could even call his past dalliances relationships – would have survived The Number. But there Patrick is, smiling when he sees David and talking to Alexis about god knows what.

Fuck. Alexis has her phone out. She could be showing Patrick anything.

Patrick surprises David with a quick kiss to the corner of his mouth in greeting and, that’s, something. It feels natural and lived in and David’s never had this and he’d convinced himself that he’d come out and find Patrick gone.

But Patrick is here and smiling at him, looking at him with big honey-coloured eyes and David wants to soak it up but also feels like he has to look away. He settles for putting Alexis back in her place.

“No, we won’t be doing that,” he replies when she suggests that she ride back to the motel with them.

“It’s like a ten minute walk, David.”

“You better start walking then.”

“Ugh! Lick rust!”

Patrick drives him home, one hand resting on David’s knee; the weight of it grounding as Patrick tells him that he’s a good person. He still doesn’t say that David is a nice person though.

When they pull up outside the motel, David unclips his seatbelt and when he looks up, Patrick is leaning across the car to kiss him. His lips are soft, the kiss gentle and sweet, until it’s not and it turns into something that leaves David a little dizzy and wanting.

“I’ll call you tomorrow?” Patrick asks.

Something swells behind David’s rib cage until it feels too big for his chest. It feels dangerously like something he’s afraid to say out loud for fear it will disappear.

“You can call me anytime you like.”

Thanks for the prompt Houdini and @stereopticons 💖

a kiss to shut them up

“This is Balenciaga, Patrick. Balenciaga!” 

David’s voice is becoming more and more shrill with every word and Patrick ducks around a flailing arm to get a little closer to him. “I know, David,” he says, in a tone that is intended to be soothing but is clearly not having that effect on David.

“How dare Roland imply that I would buy a sweater with one of Roland Jr’s drawings on it!” He whirls on one leg, pacing in front of the counter.

Patrick shouldn’t find this so endearing. He should calm David down so that he’s not stomping around their store practically yelling about designer sweaters while the store is open. But there’s something about the way that even in the midst of his righteous indignation, David is just so beautiful. His cheeks are a little flushed, highlighting his cheekbones. His eyes (and his eyebrows) are dancing furiously and the rings on his fingers are flashes of gold in the sunlight as he waves his hands to emphasise his point. As he turns, his skirt swishes around his knees and Patrick gets a glimpse of the back of David’s bare thighs and the purple bruises he’d left there last night. 

“... and then he asked me about the new massage oil and whether it was edible!” David’s face twists in disgust and Patrick bursts out laughing. “Patrick!”

He waits until David is moving back towards him and steps into his path, catching David around the waist and pulling him close. It’s enough to momentarily stop David mid-rant. Before he can take a breath and continue, Patrick kisses him, reaching up with his other arm to cup the back of David’s neck. He can hear David’s brain still whirring, so he walks him backwards until he’s pressed against the counter, customers be damned, and kisses him like he means it: hard and fast and a little dirty, nipping at David’s lower lip as he pulls away.

“Hi,” David says, a little breathless, winding his arms around Patrick’s shoulders.

“Better now?”

With a shimmy, David replies, “I will be.”

“Good,” Patrick says, ducking out of David’s embrace, smirking. “I’m going to go get us some lunch and the body milk needs to be restocked.”

For the kiss prompt, David and Patrick

…as encouragement

….out of habit

(Two in case one’s already been suggested!)

I’ve assigned each kiss prompt I received a number and am using a random number generator to choose which prompt to write because I got quite a few from you all! As a reminder, I’m trying to keep these to 200 words or less and I’m going to try and do at least one per day til they’re all done. If you’ve sent me a prompt, I promise I’ll get to it!

Thanks anon! I combined both prompts for you 💖

a kiss out of habit and a kiss as encouragement

David leans into Patrick’s hand as he strokes his hair. He doesn’t open his eyes, but feels the mattress shift as his husband leans forward to kiss him, like he always does. He puckers his lips as Patrick presses a light kiss to them, smiling.

“Five more minutes,” he bargains. Patrick acquiesces, and David snuggles into the pillow.

An indiscernible length of time — but knowing Patrick, less than five minutes — later, scent of coffee wafts under his nose and when David opens his eyes, he’s greeted with the sight of Patrick smirking at him from the door to their ensuite, holding David’s favourite mug.

He’s also naked. Suddenly, David is very awake.

Patrick deposits the coffee on the bathroom counter then strides over to the bed. He leans over and braces his hands on either side of the pillow, bending down to kiss David with unexpected intensity, tracing the seam of David’s lip with the tip of his tongue and just as David tries to deepen the kiss, Patrick pulls away.

Walking back towards the ensuite and winking (badly) at David over his shoulder, Patrick says, “There’s more where that came from, but you’ve gotta get out of bed first.”

For the @schittscreekdrabbleblog prompt: ECHO + bonus word COSY

David’s head hits the tiles behind him as Patrick does something truly spectacular with his tongue, hollowing his cheeks and bobbing his head up and down repeatedly.

His orgasm takes him by surprise, rolling through him like a tsunami, the waves of pleasure almost overwhelming. David’s legs are shaking, his blood is fizzing in his veins and the only thing keeping him upright is the almost bruising grip Patrick has on his hips as his moans echo throughout the bathroom.

After, he sits, wrapped in his cosy bathrobe, as Patrick applies his skincare for him, kissing David between each step.

Patrick’s mouth is dry.

It’s not that he doesn’t know how beautiful – and hot – his husband is, but sometimes it catches him by surprise. 

Like now.

David is lounging by the pool, his curly hair completely undone, all long limbs and exposed olive skin glistening in the sun while wearing the tiniest black swimsuit Patrick has ever seen.

David sees Patrick watching him and raises an eyebrow, taking a sip from his cocktail and Patrick can’t help but watch the way his plush lips curl around the straw and think of… other things.

“Hey honey.”

Patrick is going to die.

For the @schittscreekdrabbleblog prompt: SNUGGLES

The front door is unlocked as promised; Stevie’s warning about entering the cottage unannounced echoing in the back of her mind as she walks in.

With her heels click-clacking against the hardwood floors, she goes in search of her brother, stopping when she sees Patrick lying on the couch reading, David asleep snuggled into Patrick’s chest. It makes something in her chest twist a little to see David so relaxed and happy.

Patrick waves at her and she traipses over to him, booping him on the nose. Leaning down, she says in David’s ear, “oh my god, David. A moth!”

💋#27 for David & Patrick, please and thank you.

I’ve assigned each kiss prompt I received a number and am using a random number generator to choose which prompt to write because I got quite a few from you all! As a reminder, I’m trying to keep these to around 200 words and I’m going to try and do at least one per day til they’re all done. If you’ve sent me a prompt, I promise I’ll get to it!

Thanks Char! This is definitely closer to 300 words than 200 but @celeritas2997 reminded me that if I'm spending longer trying to edit these down to 200 words than I am writing them, then that defeats the purpose of me setting that limit in the first place 😅

a kiss as a suggestion

“Patrick,” David calls from the doorway. No response. “Honey.”

“Hmm?” Patrick doesn’t look up from his laptop screen.

David shakes his head fondly at the sight of him frowning at his laptop, curls mussed and falling into his face like he’s been running his hand through them. Walking into the room, David pulls the office chair back, spinning Patrick around to face him. 

Placing his hands on the armrests and crowding over his husband, David says, “Honey, I appreciate everything you do with your little spreadsheets, but you’ve been in here for hours now.”

“I’m almost done,” Patrick replies plaintively.

Quirking a brow, David says, “That’s what you said an hour ago.” Guilt washes across Patrick’s face and David just wants to kiss the expression away. He settles for pushing Patrick’s curls off his face. “This is not a complaint. But this is me suggesting that my husband stop working and come to bed.”

“Oh? What’s in it for me?” Patrick asks, all traces of guilt gone.

David shimmies his shoulders, leaning in. “You’ll have to follow me and find out,” he murmurs against Patrick’s lips before kissing him hard, slipping his tongue into Patrick’s mouth and turning the kiss just dirty enough to elicit a small groan from his husband, which he takes as his cue to break the kiss.

Removing Patrick’s hands from where they’ve migrated to his ass, David uses the single shred of self-control he possesses to turn and walk away from his husband, safe in the knowledge that Patrick will follow him.
