Ship: Mike x Anthony Hope
Description: I can only write the sappiest things for this ship. I’m sorry.
Anthony walked in the door, after fetching some groceries Mike had requested. He had walked in and out of that door a million times but there was something different about it now. There was more surety that he wouldn’t elect to walk out and never come back.
“You’re my husband,” Mike said, as if this was news to them, and they hadn’t been married for the past month.
Anthony looked slightly bewildered as he put the groceries down in the tiny kitchen.
“I hope so,” he said jokingly. “Otherwise I have the wrong flat.”
“Somehow it surprises me every time you walk through the door and I can think to myself, ‘my husband’s home.’ I’m used to you walking through the door but there’s something different in it now. I can picture you coming in and out of that door as an older and older man.”
“And you couldn’t before?” he asked. “I’ve imagined growing older with you for a long time now.”
“I had this silly idea you’d walk out the door, find something better, and never come back.”
Mike felt guilty when Anthony frowned and took a spot on the couch beside them. He rested his head on their shoulder, not even an inch from their neck.
“Don’t mind what I said,” Mike told him. “You don’t have to keep telling me you love me, I know.”
“I love you,” he said anyway. “And I couldn’t possibly find anyone or anything better than you.”
Mike sighed. “I told you not to worry about it.”
He moved his head off their shoulder to look at them. “I want to. I married you to tell you I love you for the rest of my life.”
“I want to be loved by you for the rest of my life,” Mike admitted. “And I want us to walk in and out of that door to each other’s waiting arms for the rest of our lives.
He pressed a soft kiss to their jaw.
Quietly, Mike added, “It wouldn’t hurt if you’d kiss me for the rest of my life.”
“Hopefully that will be enough time to kiss you every way I want to,” he said.
“In that case, you should keep kissing me.”
He did. Some small part of Mike was still surprised he’d want to.
