"Hey." Steve closed the apartment door behind him and walked to the kitchen where his boyfriend was making dinner. "Hey baby, how was work?" Steve loves the way he still gets warm whenever Eddie calls him names, or smiles at him, or talks to him-

"Slow, boring, slow." Steve wrapped his arms around Eddie's waist, but only to pull back when he winced underneath him. "The hell? Are you okay, what's wrong?" He turned Eddie around only to smile at how beautiful his boyfriend was. "Nothing princess, did something special for you today."

Eddie leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Steve's lips, before wrapping his arms around the boys waist. "Well are you going to tell me what it is Munson or what?"

Living together was getting easier by the day, of course it was a little rough at first, but the boys got over it after the first two weeks because they realized they didn't want to be anywhere else.

Yes, Eddie might have slept on the couch a few times, but both boys em would end up being miserable those nights. All the two wanted was to be together.

Eddie huffed and turned back around to turn the stove off. "Yeah come on." He grabbed Steve's hand and pulled them to their bedroom, gently pushing him to sit on the edge of the bed. Eddie went to pull of his shirt only to stop when Steve choked on his own spit. His face still burns around Eddie, no matter how many times they've had sex, how many times they've seen each other naked- he still and will always find Eddie beautiful.

"Don't freak out Harrington, m'not gonna ambush you." He pulled off his shirt and Steve's eyebrows furrowed at the clear wrap around his torso. "What the hell, did you get a new tattoo? Why didn't you tell me?"

Eddie rolled his eyes and turned his back to Steve, "help me get this off." Softly, Steve found the end piece of the wrap and pulled it down, "but didn't you get it today? shouldn't you keep it in for a little longer?"

"I've got to change it before bed baby and I thought you'd want to see it." Steve placed a gentle kiss in Eddie's neck and was slowly starting to see the edges of the new tattoo. "Eddie what the hell is this?"

After about two minutes he finally got all of it off and sat there in silence.

"Uh- Eddie."

His eyes traced down the marks in Eddie's back- his marks to be exact. The scratches down his back that had jokingly talked about after the first time they had sex in their new relationship. He could see parts of little teeth marks on his shoulders and a stifled laugh fell out of his mouth.

Eddie turned around and wedged himself between Steve's thighs, "I told you I'd keep it in mind." The smile on the man's face melted Steve and he was starting to love the tattoos even more. "No- I know I just never thought you'd go through with it. Thought it was a joke, love."

Steve's hands ran up and down his boyfriend's stomach as they smiled at each other. "Well it's important to me, you trusted me princess and just that by itself felt amazing- never mind the actual sex that happened."

How is he supposed to respond to that? The fact that Eddie found it so important for Steve to trust him, that he put it above sex nonetheless.

"I wish you would've taken me with you- I've never seen anyone get a tattoo." Steve traced his fingers gently over the tattoos on his back and Eddie groaned. Two hands pushed Steve back onto the bed and the man crawled over top of him. "I'll take you next time princess. Give me more marks so I can go back, m'kay?"

He kissed Steve softly and ran his hands through the soft hair. "But weren't you making dinner?" Eddie mumbled into his neck and nipped at his shoulder, "can eat later. I missed you, stupid tattoo gun doesn't feel as good as your nails."

I love you guys very very much and thank you for sticking with me through all my busy schedule!
