❛  it’s only been a couple of days and i miss you.  ❜  ( Tom & Lawrence )

--- against his own wishes, larry’s hours at the hospital had increased quite a lot. as a result of that fact, he’d been away from his daughter and husband-to-be more than he would ever had wanted to occur. still, each time he returned home to the man he loved, he remembered why all of his hard work was worth it. he remembered who he was and why he pursued the goals that he did. “i miss you, too, love,” lawrence admitted, his heart still fluttering every time that he heard tom tell him that he missed him. “our feelings are always mutual, aren’t they?” lawrence inquired, only half-hypothetically, as he wrapped his arms around tom’s waist and offered him a gentle kiss. “i love you. more than you could ever hope to know. i’ll keep trying to tell you anyways.”

🛌 Crawl under the covers with my muse ( Tom & Larry )

--- lawrence’s hours at the hospital had grown later, and he didn’t like that. he had less time to spend with his family. but now, he was hoping to make up for that fact. he smiled from his side of the bed when he heard tom’s feet pad over; when he felt the motion of the blanket being lifted as his spouse crawled under the covers. lawrence shifted onto his side, so that he could better face the man that he loved. so that he could get a nice, long look at him. so that he could pull him into a chaste kiss, running his fingers over one of his cheeks with the softest, most tender of smiles, wordlessly admiring him, as he so often liked to do. “hey, handsome,” he greeted, as he leaned in for another kiss, unable to help himself from being just a little bit more INDULGENT than he had been lately. “i’m sorry i’ve been so unreachable lately,” larry insisted. “i’m gonna make it up to you, all right? i love you so much more than you know, and... i’m sorry i’ve been so BUSY lately.” lawrence rested his hand against tom’s chest, his blue eyes softening, as he looked into tom’s darker, warm ones. “i’m gonna take some TIME OFF. i was thinking that... you and me could go on a VACATION, or at least spend some extra time together.”

--- lawrence was grateful for the ways in which his life had come back together, the pieces fitting comfortably, and not in the horrible, perverse ways that his past tormentors had tried to claim. there was nothing MISSING from him, and the will to live was just some fucked up mantra of a man destined for hell. here and now, he was finding peace again. he had a friendship with adam. he was co-parenting nicely with alison. he had a great, renewing relationship with diana. and he was in love--- deeply, madly, and truly so. they shared a house and twin rings on their fingers. they were talking about adoption. LIFE WAS GOOD. it was the only thought on larry’s mind, as he made his way into the kitchen, wearing his robe and a sleepy smile. tom already had coffee going in the pot, for which, larry gave him a grateful kiss to the cheek. “you are truly the best, you know that, don’t you?” lawrence sighed, picking up his mug, and placing an arm around his partner’s waist affectionately. “can’t i ditch work so that i can spend today with YOU? my patients can operate on THEMSELVES, they don’t need ME!” lawrence joked with a big, infectious smile.

--- they had the keys to their NEW HOUSE. tom believed that it was their first time stepping inside of the finished place, and it was for him. but lawrence had been inside already. he’d requested a favor from their realtor and he had a chance to arrange the bedroom in a fashion that enabled him to do something that was long overdue, for and with his partner: HE WAS GOING TO PROPOSE. he had diana’s approval, and he knew that tom was the man he wanted to spend the rest of his days with. once inside, lawrence watched happily, as tom’s eyes lit up with gladness. “what do you think?” he asked, admiring the kitchen setup. “it’s modern but classic. i like it.” they continued to travel across the first floor, before lawrence stopped at the bottom steps. “want to check out the MASTER BEDROOM?” as they climbed their way to it, lawrence opened the door to a scene that he hoped would melt tom’s heart. the bed was white and covered in rose petals, shaped in the form of a heart. in the middle of said heart was a SMALL BOX THAT CONTAINED AN ENGAGEMENT RING. lawrence waited for tom to see it, smiling in his nervous anticipation. “so, love...” lawrence encouraged. “WHAT DO YOU THINK?”
