When Veneer awoke he noted two things. One was that he was feeling absolutely fantastic. And two, Ritz was calling.
He leaned his body over and grabbed his phone quickly answering his boyfriend's call. They'd been dating for 7 months now. It was a secret kept between the two after the whole troll torture incident. No longer living with his older twin sister as she needed both therapy and rehab. It would be another year before he could bring her back to his home.
"Hey Venny"
"Hi Ritz what you doing up so early?"
"Can't a guy call his boyfriend at 7 in the morning? Its nice out today don't ya think?"
Veneer wouldn't know. He couldn't exactly get up right now. His legs were a pain to have to move when he was still waking himself up. He didn't want to ruin his boyfriend's mood though.
"Yeah its nice and bright out isn't it?"
"Hey is your door unlocked? Oh wait nevermind"
Ritz had hung up and Veneer was confused. He gave Ritz a key to his apartment. Its not like he couldn't get in if he wanted to. Veneer was slowly drifting back to sleep. Not hearing when his front door creaked open, not caring when he heard it slam shut and certainly not complaining when an intruder rudely uncovered him and laid on his chest.
Said intruder was now giggling as Veneer lifted up his pillow and whacking it into his face.
"Very funny Ritz" Veneer said. Rolling over to his side and repositioning his legs. Getting comfortable before he dragged his boyfriend back down into his bed and snuggled into him. Placing a gentle kiss on his forehead. Ritz stopped his usual playful antics and cuddled Veneer as he kicked off his shoes. Settling into the warmth that emitted from his lover.
Ritz reached up with his free hand and played with Veneers hair, twirling it around his finger and laughing at it drooped over Veneers face like a wet poodle. Veneer didn't find this as amusing. Gently grabbing Ritz hand as he held it up to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on it. Ritz face slightly heated at this sight. Veneer held Ritz hand to his chest, a smile to his face.
He made good on his change of heart. Seeing what he did was wrong and now living a better, albeit, cheaper life. All those therapy sessions he received afterwards did wonders for him. Though he still felt his heart break ever so slightly when he remembered how angry Velvet was at him. Remembered how she refused to speak to him for a little over two months. Remembered how all she could say to him after were insults and for him to go away. Leaving him with his mind. She would help him. She knew she had to. No one else was gonna. But that still didn't change her attitude. They'd eventually had a small conversation that ended with tears and a hug.
When Veneer was released 2 years later he was upset to find that since Velvet was the main aggressor she'd be there for 3 years longer. Her bail being much too high he watched with heavy eyes and an even heavier heart as she waved him goodbye. Smiling as she did so. Veneer promised he'd visit and try he did. Velvet was later transferred out to a different prison and was currently receiving therapy and being put in rehab all the while. Veneer didn't understand how that worked. But from the letters he received it looked like it was helping.
Ritz placed a small kiss on his boyfriends lower lip. Seeing he had zoned off somewhere in space. Veneer looked at his boyfriend. Dark purple eyes meeting blue. Veneer blushed and playfully shoved a pillow into Ritz face. Ritz was the first to get up. Stretching as Veneer watched him.
"Come on sleepy butt, I gotta get to work" Ritz held out his hand and waited for Veneer to take it. Veneer simply rolled his eyes. Grabbing Ritz' hand and being hoisted up.
