warmth and peace

matt was drowning in paperwork from new cases and witness testimonies. he sighed as he had to read a few more lines on the page he was currently reading. he lifted a finger to stop reading momentarily. then, he riffled through the other documents and felt he had more work to do. he would definitely read more tomorrow. 

during this quick break, he rubbed his hands together, feeling the fall chill inside his apartment. he was already wearing a sweater, sweatpants, and socks. but even with the radiator on, he still felt chilly.

on top of that, his head was already throbbing and knew it was time for him to take a break.

one more page, he encouraged himself, before he’d call it a day.

meanwhile, frank was doing his own reading. unlike matt, he was reading for pleasure. all cozy wearing his sweater, sweatpants, and socks. he was seated on a leather recliner reading fahrenheit 451. he moved the recliner to the bedroom in the meantime since matt was distracted by frank’s presence in the kitchen.

the book was sitting on his bookshelf for the longest time and frank hadn’t had the chance to read it. he was engaged in reading, flipping page after page, without stopping. he felt the strain on his eyes and knew he needs to stop. but the story was getting good, and he didn’t want to put it down.

he paused briefly since he heard a chair screech and footsteps padding to the bedroom. he put the book upside down on a drawer and expected matt to come in the bedroom with him. matt’s footsteps fill the noise in the room, and matt lets out a shaky sigh. that gets frank’s attention and cocked an eyebrow at matt’s overall state.

matt shakes his head and stays quiet as he massaged his temples. frank knew what that signal meant and he wasn’t supposed to say a word. so he didn’t. but frank moved to one side of the recliner to make room for matt. this was his way of being there for matt without saying anything; by letting him cozy up to him.

without hesitation, matt stepped on the empty space of the recliner. frank didn’t offer any assistance knowing that matt had done this before and made it fine. once matt both feet planted on the cushion, he squat and used his hand to support him to sit beside frank. once matt was seated, he stretched his legs and placed it on the leg rest, right beside frank’s. then, he settled by placing his head on the crook of frank’s neck. meanwhile he clasped his hands and let it rest on frank's chest. matt felt frank's racing heartbeat. but it eventually returns to its normal rhythm.

frank then wrapped an arm around matt’s waist and resting his hand on matt’s stomach. and as matt relaxed in frank’s body warmth and embrace, frank’s kissed matt’s head and decided to resume reading at a later time and slept next to him.

stay home, red

Matt was running late to work as usual. He already had his suit on. All he had to do was sling his bag and he was ready to go. But one thing, well person, stopped him from going to work.

Frank was extra clingy today and wanted his Red to stay at home. Unfortunately, Matt had to work on reviewing pieces of evidence and statements for the practice's new big case.

They were in the kitchen, and Matt took one bite of toast when suddenly Frank pulled him from behind on the hips.

Frank hugged him from the back, snared his arms around Matt's waist, and started peppering him kisses on the back of his head and nape. Matt giggled since he felt ticklish.

"Stay home, Red." Frank said in a gruffy voice. One he knew would get Matt excited.

Instead, Matt held on to Frank's arms and stroked them with his thumb.

"You know I wish I could, Frank." Matt responded as he took another bite of his toast. At the same time, Frank nuzzled his nose on Matt's head. It smelled nice, Frank thought. Of course, he smelled nice. Matt had heightened senses and wanted only pleasant smelling scents on his skin or head. And Frank can smell the cedarwood from Matt’s shampoo on his head.

"C'mon baby, stay," Frank said, smirking.

Matt raised his eyebrows when Frank called him “baby”. But he blushed at that. Then he took a bigger bite of his toast.

"Baby?" Matt said as he chewed.

"I was just tryin' it y’know. See if it will convince you to stay or some'in."

"We'll do another test run of baby and see how it goes."

Frank only hummed in response. He was still embracing Matt from the back, and Matt said, "I have to go, Frank."

Frank sighed and hugged Matt even tighter. Then Matt sighed this time. Matt didn't want to admit it but loved that his boyfriend wanted him to stay and spend the whole day with him.

Matt then turned to face Frank and pressed his forehead against Frank's. He then placed a hand on one of Frank's cheeks and stroked Frank's face with his thumb.

"I wish I could stay, Frank. But I'm working on this new case." Matt frowned.

Frank sighed. "I forgot how much you love your day job."

Matt chuckled at that.

"--love helping people through legal means." Matt corrected him. Once again, Frank sighed exasperatedly. Matt snickered at that.

"I love you so much Frank. I'll be with you tonight, okay?" Then he kissed the man on the lips.

"Love you too, Red." Frank conceded. "I'll see ya later."

As Matt grabbed his briefcase and cane, Frank watched Matt leave. He whispered, “I love you” again to Matt because he knew he would hear him.

When Matt shut the door behind him, he smiled from ear to ear. He whispered “I love you too” even though Frank couldn't hear him. But Matt had an inkling that Frank knew it too.
