I'll be uploading a chapter a day for this story until it's caught up with the ones on DA.
Enjoy!
Edward had apologised profusely to Harvey, he hadn't wanted to leave, he really hadn't, he'd thought Jon was awake, and, despite the thoughts against it during their event, he didn't want Jon to find out.
He hadn't wanted the moment to be ruined, but it had been anyway.
Harvey said it was fine; it wasn't Edward's fault, the moment wasn't ruined, just cut a little short. It had still been perfect.
Dent: And I want more moments like that.
I do too.
He was having to keep his phone partially hidden as he made Jon's breakfast. Jon had woken up mad because Edward hadn't taken him upstairs, he'd just left him on the sofa, no blanket or anything.
Dent: Which brings me back to my question: Can you meet me today?
Edward swallowed hard, looking over to Jon; still on his spot on the sofa, still mindlessly watching the tv.
He said his leg was better, he was going to work in about an hour, he'd be gone for about… 7 hours? 7 at the least.
Yeah.
Edward held back a guilty smile as he pressed send.
"Edward, I think the toast is burning," Jon said listlessly, not making any effort to check or help.
Edward swore and retrieved the blackened toast, and threw it in the bin.
Jon smirked, "What is wrong with you Edward? How could you let that happen?"
"I-I'm sorry, Jon, I…" Edward stuttered, replacing the bread in the toaster and turning down the heat setting.
"Don't burn them again."
Dent: Brilliant (: When/where?
At 10? Jon will be at work. Meet at the usual place?
Edward poured Jon's coffee and handed it to him. "I'm sorry about last night, you just… looked so peaceful, I didn't want to disturb you."
Jon took the cup, and took a sip, "So you left me down here in the cold?"
Honestly, Edward simply hadn't wanted Jon near him that night, he didn't want Jon's touch on him, he hadn't wanted the images in his mind to be tainted like that.
"I'm sorry," he repeated, unsure of what else he could say.
Dent: How long will you be able to stay?
He took Jon's toast and buttered it, and handed it to the taller man.
He didn't even get a thank you.
All day? (:
He sat down next to Jon to drink his cup of juice. The taller man looked over at him, "Aren't you going to fetch me my mask? I can't do an awful lot without my mask…"
Edward scrambled to his feet, "Oh god, yes, sorry," he said with a slight gasp. He rushed up stairs and pulled the burlap mask from it's box.
Dent: (:
Edward smiled widely as he walked down the stairs, he could feel himself becoming excited already; his pulse quickening and his insides growing hot.
He didn't even care if they ended up having sex, just being in the same room would be more than enough; hearing his voice and seeing him smile.
Jon took his mask and gave Edward a soft kiss on the nose, giggling gently, "You're such a lovely boy."
Edward nodded, kissing Jon back, ignoring the lump in his throat that was telling him to stop.
Jon smiled, "You know what? …I think I'm gunna head out early. I have a shipment coming in and I'd like to be there to see it's delivery."
"Oh," Edward said shortly, trying not to let the happiness inside him show on his face, "Really? ...Ok."
That would mean he'd have whole extra 20 minutes to get himself ready, he could make sure he looked really perfect.
He wanted to look perfect .
Maybe he should do something about his chest hair…?
No, he remembered Harvey saying something about liking a bit of hair.
Maybe just tidy it up then.
He bid Jon goodbye, and Edward went upstairs and had a shower.
He stared at himself in the mirror again.
He didn't look that bad today.
Maybe he'd lost a bit of weight?
He hummed happily to himself as he moisturised his face and began to get dressed.
He wore the nicest pair of boxers he could find, his cleanest green trousers, his usual purple tie, and his best black shirt. No jacket, he didn't want to look too formal.
In no time at all he was out the door, on his way to the café. He hoped Harvey didn't mind paying again because he only had $10 on him.
He ordered a drink and sat at the usual table, he had a little bit of time before Harvey was supposed to arrive, he sat and read their old text on his phone. He loved doing that, he could see their relationship developing, it was so sweet.
Harvey's first hello, he had seemed so formal, he had arranged a meeting with Jon and Eddie, business stuff.
After the meeting, Harvey had texted him saying: 'What was up with Jon today?'
'Nothing, he's always like that.'
'Wow, that must be hard to put up with.'
'Sometimes, but I'm ok with that.'
'I dunno if I would be.'
'Well you are famous for your short temper ;P'
After that, they had started texting everyday, finding that they had a lot in common…
Then Eddie had started to feel for him.
More than he ever had for Jon.
Edward sighed.
He loved Jon. His life with Jon was perfect, almost, there were kinks, but there were always kinks.
Harvey was… Harvey was perfect. But he was unstable, not just in his personality…
At this point Edward would begin to second guess what he was doing here, but elation leapt in him as he saw Harvey appear at the door.
"Hi," Harvey said softly, his voice like fresh air.
Edward smiled, "Hi… How are you?"
Harvey came to Edward's side, "I'm good. How are you?"
Edward nodded, "Yeah, I'm good. What are we going to do during our day together?"
Harvey shrugged, and held out his hand to take Edward from his seat, pulling the man gently to his side, "I thought I might take you to my place."
"R-Really? I thought you said…"
"Yeah, but I trust you not to give my location away…so." He shrugged again, "We could buy a pizza and watch films or play pool or…"
"You have a pool table?" Edward said, his mouth hanging open in surprise.
Harvey nodded, smiling gently, "Yeah, I'm no good but, I though the skill might help me close a deal or two."
Edward chuckled lightly, and took himself from Harvey's side, beginning to walk towards the door, "Okay, it sounds fun. You'll have to teach me though."
Harvey nodded as they left the café, "I'd be more than happy to."
