Once More With Feeling ZAINTSEE AU

Family Reunion

The rest of the week flew by with only a few hiccups. Saint had a bigger panic attack and needed to take one of the new tablets. He decided after waking up he was not a fan of the way they knocked him out so he made the decision to ask for counselling. His walking vastly improved to the point the nurse came 2 days early and removed Saint's bandages. Zee was so proud of all Saint's progress he could burst. Zee was still keeping his promise to hug Saint every night and they both slept soundly in their shared bed.

Tonight was the final night before Lee came home and Zee was super excited to see his son after his holiday but there were a few niggling worries he had. Saint's bruises were healing nicely but he still looked sore, he worried about Lee getting upset when he saw Saint like that and the effect that would have on Saint. He didn't want for Saint to have a set back in his recovery because Lee got a shock. Even though they had made up a story that Uncle Bunny had had a bad fall and had a sore face, Zee was still worried.

As he lay in bed with Saint, who was currently laying sprawled across him like a cat, he decided to voice his concerns. He took a breath then paused, unsure how to phrase it so it would hurt his best friend. "Zee! It's getting late!" Saint said before he had a chance to speak. "Lee is coming home in the morning so either say what's bugging you or stop thinking so loudly, I need sleep!" Zee chuckled at Saint's bluntness. "Sorry," he said "I guess I'm just worried about how Lee's going to react tomorrow..." Zee hope Saint understood what he was tring to get at. "You mean seeing me all beat up?" Saint asked casually. "Really Zee, you need stop underestimating my God Son."
turned his face so he could see Zee. "And if you're worried about me getting upset, I'm a big boy and I'll be fine..." He smiled at Zee "...And if I'm not you can hug me til I am. Now sleep! " He finished then turned away again.

Zee lay there for a moment, sleep really did sound tempting, he was exhausted. Hearing Saint be so strong yet still admitting he needed Zee made his heart swell. He closed his eyes for a second to think. He wanted to do something to show Saint how much he loved him and how proud he was of him. "Saint..." he whispered, waiting for his friend to face him once more. When he did, Zee leaned down and gently sealed their lips together. It was supposed to be a friendly peck but the longer their lips stayed pressed together the more the urge to deepen the kiss sounded in Zee's head. Those butterflies were back in his stomach and spreading down to the lower half of his body. He couldn't fight it any more and claimed Saint's mouth. Their hands explored tentatively as they battle for dominance in their kiss. Now he'd finally had Saint's mouth, Zee needed to taste more of him. He began licking and sucking Saint's neck causing Saint to moan. "Zeeeeee...." he moaned in Zee's ear. Zee continued his ministrations and Saint's moans became louder and louder.

"Zee!" Saint shouted "If you don't wake up right now I'm going to dump this coffee on your head!" He said with utmost conviction. Zee was finally awake and cursing his brain for having such a dirty dream about his best friend. "Uhhh, I'm awake." he grumbled, praying he wasn't hard. Just in case he kept the blanket firmly covering him. Zee sat there having a minor nervous breakdown about his perverted mind and what it meant about his feelings for Saint. He was stopped mid spiral by Saint handing him his mug. "About time too! Our boy will be home in an hour." Saint said, the joy was evident in his voice at the prospect of seeing Lee. "You woke me up with all your twitching, but I decided to be nice and make you breakfast for a change now my foot is better."

Now Zee was fully awake and slightly terrified. Last time Saint had attempted to cook he'd almost burned the kitchen down. At least he was too preoccupied worrying about his house burning down to focus in his feelings, he guessed. Thankfully Saint had only made fruit salad and pastries so there was no actual cooking involved. "How can someone who loves food so much be so bad at cooking?" Zee pondered out loud as he ate. "Maybe I just fake being bad at it so suckers like you do all the work..." Saint called over his shoulder as he left the room. "Now shut up and get ready!"

Zee laughed all the way to the bathroom at Saint's cheekiness. He got dressed, makimg an effort to look even more presentable than usual. Seeing Andrea made him feel like he had to prove he was a capable father. When Kara died he knew Andrea was loathed to let him keep Lee with him, probably because she was missing her daughter, but Zee never really got over it. So here he was making an effort with his appearance to show her what a fully functioning adult he was. Thinking about facing Andrea was serving as a decent distraction from 'the dream that shall not be named' so every cloud had a silver lining Zee thought to himself.

He walked into the living room just as the door bell rang, so he headed straight there. "Hi baby!" Zee said as he spread his arms wide to his son for a hug. "Dad!" Lee said sounding excited. "Where's Uncle Bunny?" He asked pushing past his father. "Nice to see you too bud..." Zee said to no-one in particular. "Andrea!" He said finally greeting his mother in law. "Would you like to come in?" he offered with a smile. "No thank you, I must dash. Please tell Lee I'll call him next weekend." She said before turning and heading back to her car. "How has Lee been? Behaving well I hope?" Zee grumbled to himself as he shut the door. "Lovely to see you too..." he finished with a scowl. He headed to the living room but instead of walking right in he decided to peep around the door and see what was happening first. Lee was sat on Saint's knee gently stroking his face while they whispering to each other. They looked so happy together Zee couldn't resist snapping a photo and immediately setting as his home screen. He finally decided to enter the room. "Make room! Dad wants in on these cuddles!" He said smiling, it was so nice having the two people he loved most in the world right next him.
