Danny nodded, scooting the chair closer to the bed. Keeping his hand laced with Ben's, he gave it a squeeze before bringing it to his lips, kissing over each knuckle slowly. "Are you okay?" He asked softly as he looked into his husbands eyes.

Ben watched as Danny kissed his knuckles, and the familiarity of his lips was comforting in the best way. Moving over on the bed and closer to Danny, he motioned him closer with his finger before laying his hand against Danny's cheek, bringing their lips together in a slow, nervous kiss. Ben didn't know what he'd expected, maybe something like flood gates opened, but it wasn't like that at all. The only two things he knew for certain - he was in a relatively successful band and married - were the sole focus, and as fuzzy memories were restored, he kissed Danny harder. Parting his lips slightly, he traced his tongue slowly along Danny's lower lip, recalling minute details of their wedding night, their biggest shows and successes.

Danny moved closer to Ben, letting his eyes slip closed as he returned the kiss. He found it hard not to wrap his arms around Ben. As he felt Ben's lips part, he let his tongue slip past his lips, his tongue covering every inch of his husbands mouth.

Ben moved his arm around Danny's neck, but his lips broke from his, leaning his forehead against Danny's. Grinning slowly, he kept his eyes closed but spoke softly. "Your face is still pretty stupid," he muttered quietly, bringing his hand up from Danny's to lay against his cheek. "But I don't hate it so much now."

And it was in that moment, those words that let Danny know Ben was okay. The smile on his face grew wider as he climbed on the bed next to Ben, slipping his arms around his neck. "Welcome back, my love" he said softly, pressing soft kisses over every inch of his husbands face.

Ben moved over, making room for Danny on the bed while he leaned back, turning onto his side. Looking over Danny with a small smile, he shook his head slightly. "I don't ever want to leave again," he assured him, closing his eyes tightly while Danny kissed his face.

Danny's own eyes slipped closed as he moved in, closing the already small gap between their bodies. "I love you, Benjamin. I told you I'd never leave you and I meant it"

It was in that moment Danny knew everything would be okay. He knew there was nothing he couldn't get through as long as he had Ben by his side. 

Ben knew there was nothing he couldn't face as long as he had Danny by his side. Danny had stuck by him through the most difficult times. Times when he tried desperately to push Danny away. He never left his side. He urged him to keep trying to get better, and that's exactly what he did. 

They knew their love could overcome anything. As long as they believed.
