Mark pulled me up to our room ad soon as we stepped through the front door, and roughly pulled off my clothes. I smiled. "Oho, someone's eager."
He stayed silent, his face shadowed in the dark room. He pushed me forcefully down onto the bed.
"So what do you want to do to me puppy?" I chuckled, fully ready to submit to my husband.
Mark stripped, and fell onto the bed, his chest on mine, burying his face in the nape of my neck, running a hand through my hair.
"Mark?"
My husband burst into silent tears, as I pulled the covers over his back.
"Baby! Oh god... Mark what's wrong?"
"The concert... I just..." He choked out. "It brought so many memories and I just miss him so much..."
I sighed, nuzzling into him. "I miss him too, puppy... I miss him too... but thats why I did it. I needed closure, and it just felt so right."
"How can you just forget about him!?" He sobbed.
"No! I havent forgotten! I've moved on to the final stage of grief, yes. I've accepted that he's gone. Does that mean I have to be okay with it? Absolutely not. But I have to enjoy what I have, and enjoy his life. Not dwell on his end. And what have is a wonderful family, two amazing kids, two dogs, a cat, and a perfect husband. I can't let his death erase all the wonderful parts of his life, and our family."
Mark rolled off me, and pulled me to face him, resting a hand on my cheek. He smiled, and I put put a hand to wipe away his tears. "I get it... I do." He sniffled. "I guess... its just gonna take me a little longer than it took you."
"You did share a more profound bond." I said.
"Did you just Castiel me?"
"Maaaybe?"
He smiled. "I hate you."
"There's that smile! And you love me."
"Just a little..." I started to get up to get him a glass of water, and he pulled at me desperately.
"No please stay."
"I'm getting you some water, puppy." I kissed him lightly. "I'll be right back."
"Okay..." Mark stared up at me with his beautiful chocolate eyes.
I pulled on some pants, and walked downstairs. I filled up glass, and drank it, before refilling it, and starting back up the stairs.
I opened the door to our room, and whispered his name.
Mark was asleep, clutching my pillow to him, his face buried in it's softness. I set the water down, and gently replaced myself with the pillow, trying not to wake him. I got settled, and he blinked awake.
Mark smiled, nuzzling closer, and shutting his eyes again.
I followed his lead, and held him close, letting sleep carry me away.
