Toes to Nose

******************************

It was fast approaching midnight when Brian Kinney, owner of Kinnetic and ad man extraordinairre got home to the loft. His overnight business trip, cut short by Brian's ability to sell his campaign and secure the multimillion dollar contract. He caught an early flight home and he hoped to surprise Justin with three days of down time together. What good is it being the owner of the business, if you can't give yourself a day off?

Brian slid open the loft door, silently thanking the maintenance gods for greasing up the wheels. The loft was dark but for the lights over the bed he shared with Justin. No matter how much time had passed, both men found it comforting falling asleep under those glowing lights. He locked the door and set the alarm.  Shedding his jacket and placing his briefcase on his desk, Brian got himself a bottle of water, taking a long drink then walking to the bedroom.

As Brian ascended the steps he could see Justin sound asleep surrounded by his sketchbook, pencils and several completed sketches. Some sketches were pencil renderings, others pastel landscapes; all were beautiful, delicate and full of life.

Brian gathered up the sketches, pad and pencils and carefully placed them on the dresser. Leaving the sleeping artist as he lay with his head at the foot of the bed and his bare toes on the pillows; Brian covered Justin with a blanket, gently kissing Justin on top of the blond head. He then removed all his clothes, turned off the alarmclock and slipped into bed next to Justin.

The next morning Brian was awakened by something tickling his nose.

"Justin?" Brian whispered, prying open his eyes, hoping to see a set of baby blues staring back and a sunny smile. What he saw were Justin's toes, slowly flexing against his nose. Brian stifled a laugh. Justin was still asleep, fully clothed and wrapped up in his blanket save for his toes that were responding to Brian's warm breath.

After a few minutes of savory the sight of his contentedly sleeping boy, Brian kissed each of the small digits then slid his long frame out of bed to begin his morning rituals. Justin was still asleep as Brian emerged from the bathroom, showered, shaved and draped only in a towel. Kneeling next to the bed close to Justin's face, Brian eased the boy out of his sleep.

"Hey, Sunshine, time to wake up."

"Mmm. Brian? You home?"

"Let me check. Hmm, my loft, my bedroom, my towel, my lover in my bed. Yeah, I'm home."

"My asshole."

"That too."

"What time is it? What day is it?"

"Ten AM, Friday."

"You're home early."

"Got home last night, thought I'd surprise you."

"And I slept through the whole thing. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. We still have the whole day together."

"You're not going to the office?"

"Nope, the boss gave me the day off since I was so brilliant yesterday."

"And I get to spend the day with your brilliancy?"

"Yup. Unless you have something else better to do."

"Nothing's better than spending the day with you."

"Good. Then we have three days to spend together. So why don't you shower while I make us breakfast."

Justin answered Brian with his full wattage smile then hurried into the bathroom so he could prepare for his three day holiday with Brian. After a light breakfast the lovers went back to bed.

"Brian, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?"

"Kissing my toes."

"Got it in one."

"Why are you kissing my toes?"

"Because, my dear young partner, I can. I woke up this morning with a new appreciation for your toes. Now are you going to continue to question me or are you going to shut up and let me finish with your toes."

"Shutting up now."

"Right answer."

Brian eventually finished with Justin's toes then finished off Justin. Gathering the sated boy in his arms, Brian kissed Justin's nose and held him tightly to his body.

"Brian?"

"Hmm?"

"I like the way you kiss my toes."

"And I like the way your toes tickle my nose."

"How did my toes tickle your nose?"

"Shush. I'll explain later. Let's take a nap. I have plans for you and your toes."

"Toes and your nose?"

"Toes on nose."
