A rare rainy morning and Granby finds himself unwilling to do much. He's at the counter making tea, sketchbook and pencils discarded on the seat. He glances up at Laurence, eyebrow arched.

"We could always just go back to bed?"
He knows that bed in the afternoon is still a trial for Laurence, but he's definitely been making progress.

He lets Laurence press him where he will, lying back against the pillow but pressing up to kiss back.

"No need for thanks," he murmurs. "It's as natural as breathing."

[geniusofdisaster]

Laurence shook his head. He often still could not believe that they had reached the point that they had and every now and again his sentiments on the matter had to be shared. "I will still say it nonetheless. Thank you."

A bright, genuine smile spread across Granby's face. He nods, his thumb tracing the line of Laurence's chin.

"I accept then," he says. "And you have my thanks too."

[geniusofdisaster]

"And it is much appreciated, John." He leaned forward to kiss him once more. His heart, as he did so, seemed to swell somewhat with happiness. He was simply so very, very happy.

He honestly does feel like he could lie here like this forever, doing nothing but this. His fingers combed idly through Laurence's hair.

"Did you ever imagine," he asks, kissing along Laurence's jaw, "that we'd ever end up like this?"

[geniusofdisaster]

"Never." Laurence smiled, tilting his head towards Granby's kisses. It was, he would have to admit, an entirely pleasurable use of his time so far. "I can definitely say that with certainty."

"And yet, here we are," he says, shifting his weight slightly, pulling Laurence down more squarely on top of him as his lips graze against the other's skin. "And I could find myself quite happy wherever I was, as long as you were there."

It sounds like the story of his life when he phrases it like that.

[geniusofdisaster]

It did somewhat and Laurence's smile grew as Granby said it. He moved his body against the other man's body. "I am glad to know it, John. I truly am."

The press of LAurence's body against his is enough to make Granby moan, softly, and he pushes back.

"I never thought to love anybody so much, let alone you."
