"You've done what?"
Christian and Syed were currently lying on the sofa together, on opposite sides but with their legs entangled. Christian looked over at Syed from the laptop he was balancing precariously on his lap.
"I've just booked us a weekend in a hotel."
Syed raised an eyebrow, closing the book he had been reading.
"Can we afford that?"
"Of course. It's not far, just up north a bit. It's great, Sy, you're gonna love it."
Syed smiled.
"So what did I do to deserve a romantic getaway?"
"Do I need a reason to spend a bit of money on the man I love? Besides, romantic isn't exactly the word for it..."
Now Syed was confused. He put his book down and sat up to look at Christian properly.
"It's not romantic? Christian, exactly what kind of hotel are we going to?"
"Erm, well, it's quite a popular place for short breaks...for all ages..."
Christian looked away, and then back at Syed, doing his best cheeky grin...he hoped.
"I thought it would be fun to spend the weekend at Alton Towers, you know, that place with the theme park and water place, and it's got the most beautiful hotel room, Syed, you're honestly going to love it so much..." Syed put his hand up, cutting him off.
"You've booked us a weekend at a kid's theme park..." he shook his head in disbelief. Then, to Christian's surprise, he looked up, grinning.
"Christian Clarke, why am I suddenly not surprised in the slightest?"
Christian had the grace to look sheepish while Syed let out an amused chuckle. Christian smiled back at him, relieved that he wasn't annoyed.
"It's not just for kids you know. There are some really scary rides up there, Sy. I'll need you to hold my hand..."
Syed laughed again, and playfully leaned over and tapped Christian's nose.
"You're a big boy now. Even if you do have the mind of a five year old."
"I don't think a five year old would be thinking what I'm thinking right now, looking at you." He winked at Syed suggestively, before leaning over to give him a chaste peck on the lips.
"Seriously though, it's going to be loads of fun. The weather forecast says it's going to be beautiful, and the package includes entry to the theme park for the whole day, the water park too. Hotel room's for two nights, and I picked a special one for us..."
"Come on then, let me see it," Syed said, trying to lean over to take a look at the screen. Christian, however, unceremoniously closed the laptop, waggling a finger at Syed.
"Nope, mister. It's a surprise. Now let's get packing!"
"What, now? We're going this weekend? But what about work?"
"Don't worry about that. I haven't got any clients booked between Friday and Sunday. You don't either. Tanya thinks you deserve a break, and I agree with her."
"Exactly how long have you been planning this?"
"A while..."
Syed crawled closer, until he was practically in Christian's lap, and linked his hands around the back of Christian's neck.
"Well, thank you. I don't deserve you, you know," Syed grinned.
"I'm sure you can thank me somehow..." Christian whispered, leaning in for a proper kiss. The packing would have to wait a while...
