chapter five: goldwells café
SIMON WAS ON his mind, 24:7. Nothing had changed.
"I've ordered Chinese takeaway, Matt!" David yelled down the stair case. The snow was picking up again, falling heavily, but luckily not in a storm. It was late into the evening, but considering he'd gotten up so late due to him and Simon being awake for so long last night.
"Okay, I've found a really funny picture of us that Jimmy just sent me, shall I airdrop it to you?" Matt shouted back. David agreed and the short man couldn't help but awe as he selected the photo to airdrop to him. Despite being asleep, David had a small smile on his face, and Simon's arms were wrapped protectively around him. He clicked send and waited for David's reaction.
The notification pinged through onto David's phone, reading Matt Lucas would like to share a photo with you. Accept / Decline. He clicked Accept and gaped at the picture in front of him. There he was in bed, curled up against Simon, who's head was resting on his shoulder. They were both fast asleep. David shook his head, half in amusement and half in begrudgement for the inquisition he was about to experience from Matt. It turned out that Matt had been awake after all, David thought. The photo was adorable. He set it as his home screen, leaving his lock screen as Bert. That way you'd have to know David's password to see the picture.
He raced down the stairs to find Matt, seeing him sipping a can of Irn-Bru and smirking. David walked up close to him so their faces were about 30cm apart, before playfully slapping him.
"Ow! What was that for?" Matt shrieked, over exaggerating, making David laugh.
"For pretending to be asleep and take photos of me doing so." He explained, poking his tongue out.
"Whatever," Matt said, rolling his eyes, "care to explain why you and your boss were both half naked in bed together? Oh, and I cant help but notice in this photo that Simon has love bites all down his collar bone? You might want to message him and tell him to sleep with a top on the next few nights."
David blushed deeply and grabbed his phone, selecting Simon's contact. He quickly composed a text and sent it, silently praying that Lauren didn't pick up his phone and see it. David hadn't gotten up to much today, only leaving the house to walk Bert around the block. He wore a scarf around his neck to hide the bruise, and a beanie over his head as he hadn't taken the time to style it today. Apart from that, he wore jeans and a black sweater that had the tour dates for The Pet Shop Boys tour, along with winter boots.
"Can I see the text?" Matt asked nosily, making David laugh, raising his eyebrows and handing him the phone.

wear your top to bed tonight x
Simon looked at the text in confusion. He was currently in his office as Lauren put Eric to sleep. His odd friendship with David had been on his mind all day. When had things changed from being friends to sharing a bed? He sighed and replied,
