Save the Date

The Godfather

Miles was still at Alex's, sporting the ring Alex'd proposed to him with just hours earlier, and apparently no intention to head to his own house any time soon. That was like it should be. That was perfect, Alex remarked in his mind.

"Alex!" Miles called his attention.

"Yeah babeh?"

"Alan...eh...he wanted to 'ave the test done." Miles was lying on the couch, with his head on Alex's lap, who stroked his hair lazily.

"Is tha' why ya 'aven't gone to yar 'ouse yet?" He shouldn't have asked. He didn't want Miles to realise that he'd been at his for too long. Not too long for Alex of course, but maybe too long to someone who'd got a husband supposedly waiting at home, with dinner and cuddles to offer.

Alex shook his thoughts off as Miles nodded. "Told 'im I wouldn't allow it. He talked 'bout...abortion."

"Did he say what?" Alex came across a little hard, but the guy infuriated him, every moment of any given day.

"Yeah...he said that if the baby has it, we should consider terminating the pregnancy. And I said no. No way. I'm not doing it Al." He shook his head. Miles looked like he could cry again and Alex really had enough of his tears for the day, he couldn't take it anymore without breaking down himself.

"Ya don't 'ave to do nothin' he tells ya to do. Ya know tha' reight?" Alex stroked Miles cheek and leaned to kiss him. The touch seemed to comfort Miles and soon he looked less troubled.

"I know...it's just, he called me selfish. He said I'd be making our son suffer, and now I just...what if he's right?"

"He isn't. John can have a full life, we can make sure of tha' Miles. I'll help ya, with whatever you need. From changing nappies to money, I swear I'll help ya." He leaned in for another kiss, and sought Miles' hand, giving it a squeeze for reassurance.

"Thank ya baby, I love ya." This time it was Miles who sat on the couch and initiated yet another kiss.

"I love ya too." And they kissed more, and more, and it was getting late, and Alex was dreading the inevitable moment Miles would have to go back to Alan. It was one of those days that Miles wanted to be in control, so Alex just let him take everything he wanted. Alex was under Miles and Miles kissed him deeply, sucking all of Alex's life out of him just to put it back into him with each whimper. Alex ventured to touch Miles in a more intimate way, and for a moment Miles let him, even taking a deep breath and moaning into his mouth, but as soon as he did that he took Alex's hand off his cock and apologised in a whisper. "I'm sorry babe, I don't think we should...ya know."

Alex sighed unsatisfied. "I 'aven't had sex in such a long time, Miles...why can't we have some dirty-fucking-legit sex? Is that too much to ask?"

"Ya know why Al...and I'm sorry. I want it too...I'm trying me best 'ere." He apologised and one more time kissed him, slightly giving him some much needed friction. "I didn't even know ya were single."

Did Miles genuinely think he'd be capable of proposing to him if he wasn't single?

"Of course I'm single, I've been for months, and I don't wanna go after anyone else for sex. Give me summat babe. Anything to hold on to. I'm deadly serious." After he'd broken up with Heather, he hadn't been with anyone else. Not to mention how unsatisfying sex with someone who wasn't Miles was. So in reality the sex drought had been dragging for years, he barely remembered the drunk sex they had last time, that felt like it'd happened ages ago.    

"Do ya still 'ave our videos?" Miles cocked an eyebrow and faintly smiled.

"I do." Alex breathed out. He knew them by heart, actually.
