Both sprawled out on the sofa in Doug's flat, arms wrapped around each other Ste and Doug were watching some rubbish on the TV. In the kitchen they had thrown together something to eat, whilst stopping uncontrollably to kiss and just to touch one and other's hands, they needed to be close. "That was great…" Doug said as he leaned forward and placed his plate on the table, sitting back to be with his boyfriend. Boyfriend… he couldn't believe it. He, Doug Carter had a boyfriend. Not just any boyfriend either, Ste, who made him happier than he could ever remember being. When he thought back to how things had been, he'd always felt like something was missing, even when he'd had girlfriends something hadn't felt quite right, but now he has Ste and he felt that this was right, this was what was missing all along. Ste laughed and wiped some of the crumbs from the corner of Doug's mouth softly, "You're only with me for my cooking."
"Well I suppose there are other advantages." Replied Doug smirking.
"Really… and what would they be?" Ste asked with a mischievous grin on his face. Their lips met once more, and things quickly heated up and turned more passionate. Their hands running up and down the other's body, through the other's hair. Doug had to remind himself to breath as he got lost in the kiss, he was quickly getting braver as his tongue entered Ste's mouth, he loved the way Ste tasted, Doug never thought he'd get enough of him. Ste ran his hands down Doug's back and rested them gently on his bum, Ste thought it was perfect. If only he'd noticed the way Doug would stare at his own when they were in the deli, and then quickly look away. Just as Set's hands moved lower Doug flinched and pulled away from Ste to breath, but Ste miss read it. "Look Doug I'm really sorry if that was too fast… I… I just got a bit carried away." Ste said looking worried. "No Ste.. That was great. I just kind of forgot to breath a bit." Doug's confession caused them both to start laughing. "Seriously though Doug, I'm not going to rush you, I really like you, as in really like you. Maybe we should just calm down a bit… I mean we've got plenty of time." Doug just nodded and looked up adoringly at Ste, he really was perfect he thought, always thinking of others and putting them first. Doug went to kiss Ste but stopped, "We can still kiss though, right?"
Ste laughed… "Of course…" They spent the rest of the night watching crappy Tv, cuddled up together, chatting about all sorts and kissing, happy to just be together.
Texas, Leanne and Dennis came home at about 3am, Dennis went flying through the door landing flat on his face. "Sshhh… Look over there." Texas said sternly, but she couldn't help but laugh a little, pointing towards the sofa when Doug and Ste still lay wrapped up in each others arms. They looked so happy and peaceful, Dennis and Leanne made their way up stairs as Texas turned the Tv off and threw a blanket over the pair. She walked up stairs and headed off to bed herself, Ste and Doug would have to be up soon to open the deli so she decided to leave them there, fast asleep in each other's arms.
