Brian had been awake for several minutes, but stayed in that one
spot without moving. He just wanted to savor the feeling of the other body
against his. As usual, Justin was sprawled across the bed, but no matter
how much he moved around, he always ended up touching the older man. At this
particular moment, one of his legs was resting on Brians thigh and
an arm was carelessly thrown over Brians chest. The weight felt good.
The soft smooth skin was warm and comforting.
Justins scent filled his nostrils and enveloped his brain.
Sweet honey and peppermint. Justins own
scent,
mixed with sweat created by hours of lovemaking. Brian couldnt believe
how much he missed that over
the past few months.
When Brian finally opened his eyes, he was greeted with a head of blonde
hair resting on his shoulder. Bed head. Brian
almost laughed out loud, remembering the first time Justin said that to him.
Now he smiled at the spikes and swirls of Justins hair as his head
moved in time with the rise and fall of his own chest.
He couldnt see Justins face, but knew exactly how it looked from
countless nights of watching him sleep.
Long lashes resting on the perfect skin of his cheeks,
flushed pink with sleep. Red lips, slightly
parted,
moving ever so slightly, as if talking as he dreamed. And just a drop of
saliva in the corner of his mouth,
swallowed before it could run out. Most of the
time.
Brian closed his arm around his sleeping partner and held him close, letting
his fingers comb softly through his hair. In his sleep, Justin shook his
head as if a fly or mosquito were bothering him. Brian stopped his caresses,
not wanting to disturb the peaceful slumber.
Eyes closed again, Brian let the feelings wash over him. He could finally
admit that he really loved this person who came into his life one night in
a glow of yellow light. His life was changed that night and it will never
be the same again. He didnt want it to be. He was happy for the first
time in his life. He found the rest of himself, the part that had been missing
for 29 years. Justin was the other half of his soul, and now they were together
as they were always meant to be. Two halves of a
whole. Complete.
