Princess of the universe // Hardzzellee

Chapter 1

Joe was working on the script of his second directorial movie when one of his husbands, Gwil, walked in. 
"Hi, love," Gwil said while wrapping his arms around Joe from behind. 
"Hi." Joe pushed his head back so he was able to look Gwil in the eye. Gwil immediately bent forward to press a kiss against Joe's lips. 
"How was your day?" Joe asked while Gwil sat down on a chair next to Joe's. 
"It was great. We shot some pretty comedic scenes," Gwil said. 
"How was yours?" He immediately added. Before Joe could answer, the front door opened. Immediately both of them stood up to meet Ben, their husband, in the entrance hall. Ben had a huge bouquet of flowers in his hands. 
"Got something for you two," Ben said while holding it out in front of him, waiting for someone to take it. Joe was the first one to reach forward. He inhaled the scent of flowers deeply. 
"They smell so good," Joe said. He turned the bouquet around to get a good look. 
"Is there a special reason?" Gwil asked. Ben's eyebrows rose.
"You two have no clue?" Ben asked. Gwil and Joe locked eyes before shaking their heads. 

"It is exactly five years ago that Gwil proposed to Joe," Ben said. Joe took his phone out of his pocket to look at the date. He gasped. 
"Ben is right," Joe said while turning himself towards Gwil. He moved to stand on his tiptoes before locking their lips together. Gwil moved his hand to the side of Joe's face.
"I love you," Gwil whispered against Joe's lips once they pulled away.
"I love you too." Joe locked their lips in another kiss. Ben was watching the two in front of him with a big smile on his face. Exactly five years ago, Gwil proposed to Joe with the intention of proposing to Ben together with Joe. That is exactly what they did. A little over four years ago, the three of them got married. Those four years were filled with joy and awesome memories. Sure, they have had their arguments but they always made up. 

Gwil took the flowers from Joe so he could put them in a vase. 
"Congratulations," Ben said while wrapping his arms around Joe.
"Thank you, love," Joe said. Ben and Joe walked over to the couch so they could sit comfortably while they talked about their day. Gwil came in to put the vase down on their coffee table. After that, he disappeared into the kitchen to make dinner. Gwil absolutely loved cooking and when he got the chance, he would always be the one to cook them dinner. Not that Ben and Joe were complaining. While they were both decent at cooking, neither of them would come even close to topping Gwil's cooking skills. 

Joe turned himself to Ben. 
"How was work?" Joe asked. Ben smiled at him.
"We had to shoot some pretty heavy scenes today. I had to cry a lot in most of them. So now my emotions are a bit all over the place," Ben admitted. Joe started pouting. 
"From what I have heard, I am going to cry so much when watching this movie. I can't stand to see you cry," Joe said. Ben couldn't help but chuckle. 
"Then you probably shouldn't watch this movie," Ben said. 
"But I want to see the exceptional acting skills my husband has," Joe said. Ben shook his head while laughing softly.
"Well, you have got about eight months to decide whether you are coming to the premiere or not. Either you'll cry a lot or you will not see the movie. That is your decision," Ben said while wiggling his eyebrows. 

"Dinner is ready," Gwil called out after a while. Both Ben and Joe got up to join Gwil at their dinner table. Gwil had cooked pasta with homemade bolognese sauce. It was a special recipe that he refused to share with anyone. Joe closed his eyes while he took the first bite.
"Ohh, this is so good." He said. Gwil just chuckled. 
"Thank you, love." 
"I think this is my favourite meal. Well, everything cooked by you is. But this is particularly good," Ben said. Gwil couldn't help but smile.
"I appreciate that." 

"In case you guys forgot, tomorrow and the day after, we are going to babysit Scarlett," Joe said. Rami and Lucy, their good friends asked them to babysit their six-year-old daughter.  They happily agreed. All three of them were happy to help the couple out. Besides, babysitting Scarlett was fun. She wasn't a difficult child. Quite the opposite, she was very independent. She would as happily play by herself as she would play with any of them. 
"Oh, I almost forgot. Did you by any chance make the guestroom ready?" Ben asked while looking in Joe's direction.
"I did. Everything is set."

Later that night they were laying in bed. Gwil was in the middle. Joe and Ben had their heads on Gwil's shoulder.
"I set an alarm on my watch because Rami is going to arrive here around 7. You two can sleep in. I'll see if Scarlett wants to get back to bed or if she wants to hang out and watch tv," Joe said. 
"Are you sure you don't want us to get up?" Gwil asked. Joe hummed in response.
"Yeah, I can handle it on my own. You both had a busy week. I'd catch some rest if I were you," Joe said. 
"I won't say no to that," Ben said right before he yawns. 
"I'm bloody exhausted." Gwil chuckled. He bent forward to place a kiss on both Ben's and Joe's forehead. Something he always did right before they were going to sleep.
"Sleep well, loves," Gwil said.
"Sweet dreams," Joe said. Ben mumbled some inaudible words, his eyes already closed.
