Delicate (mxm)

Chapter Thirty Four.

Caleb didn't want to wake up, he didn't want to get up, and he most certainly didn't want to go to work. But he had to.

He groaned when Eddie woke him up and pulled the sheets over his head.

"Nooo." He whined.

He wanted to stay in bed all day cuddling, especially after last night. He smiled when he remembered. It had been good.

"Yesss." Eddie replied.

Caleb sighed. "I don't wanna."

"I know, but you have to." He pulled the sheets away from Caleb and Caleb pouted.

"I want to stay in bed with you."

"We can't."

"I want to quit my job." Caleb groaned.

"Really?"

"No." Caleb sat in bed and looked up at Eddie. "Or maybe yes? I'm not sure. I'm too sleepy to think right now."

"Well, sleepyhead, you don't have to think right now, but you have to get up."

Caleb collapsed into the bed again.

It took Eddie two more times until he finally got Caleb out of bed to eat breakfast and then he took him to work before going to the office.

He sighed when he realized he had a lot of job to do. He grabbed his phone and sent Caleb a text.

I'm going to be working late today, sorry

He had told him he could probably pick him up to go pick up Lovely from the shelter, but he wouldn't be able to. The reply came fast.

Don't worry it's ok

He sighed and got to work.

Caleb smiled when he saw Tyler around the corner. He waved and Tyler waved back.

"Hey, little dude." Caleb said, and hugged Tyler.

"Hi." He replied, blushing slightly. "I'm dying to meet your dog."

"Oh, she's going to love you."

They walked towards the shelter and Tyler's eyes widened when he saw Lovely.

"She's so pretty." He said.

Caleb smiled and picked her up.

"I know." He said. "Want to hold her?"

"Oh, can I?"

"Of course, come here."

Tyler's blue big eyes were wide as he looked at the puppy.

"She's even cuter than in the photos." He whispered.

"I know," Caleb said again.

Lovely barked.

Tyler gasped. "She talks."

"Oh, she replies to Eddie all the time." Caleb said, setting her on the floor and adjusting the leash. "Well, let's go shopping, huh?"

"You're not going to make me buy lingerie again, right?"

"Not exactly." Caleb said, and smirked.

Tyler glared at him. "What do you mean by not exactly?"

"You'll see."

Eddie sighed as he entered his apartment, tired from work, and paused when he heard noises in the kitchen. Was Caleb here?
