Ben
Jon was as excited as he was nervous. Yes, Ben had faith in him, but this was likely to be one of the most important discussions of his life and unlike most important discussions he had, he couldn't just put his lawyer face on and do it. This was the rest of his life and Ben's life and everything and yes, he wanted that. More than anything he wanted that, but it was still such a large thing that it felt monstrously huge.

The kitchen was clean and he'd gotten groceries for Ben. At the table were pens and ink and parchment. He was as ready as he'd get. Jon had actually dressed down though and was in trousers and shirt sleeves.

	He nodded, finishing the meat and starting with potatoes. "Agreed then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jon set his pen down and walked over to Ben, slipping his arms around his betrothed and kissing the side of his neck. "So that covers household duties and children and pets. What else shall we discuss?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sex and finances," he turned his head a little to kiss Jon's jaw. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Finances," Jon agreed. "I can manage them unless you've got strenuous objections to that." He rested his chin on Ben's shoulder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I do," he said with a smile, then paused, and shook his head. "No, I mean more. I want to contribute equally to the household. I.. Do want to have my own money, but I also want to contribute so that it's our home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonstanton 2008-10-19 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	Jon considered that for a moment. "So there would be two accounts then, a household one and just yours?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-19 01:00 pm UTC (link)
	He shook his head, "Yours, mine, and ours." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have no need nor desire to manage my own separate account, Ben. I firmly believe in my own full committment to the household. Not that this means I begrudge you your need for your own account." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ben closed his eyes, and sighed. "Presents, Jon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonstanton 2008-10-19 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	He nuzzled at Ben's neck. "What about presents?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-19 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	"If we only have joint accounts, presents can't be a surprise." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonstanton 2008-10-19 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	Jon laughed softly and let go of Ben. "You make a good point." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-19 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	He turned and stole a kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jon fought to keep himself from turning that into a series of kisses and ruining dinner. "I think I can manage though. I'd rather not have a private account. It makes me uncomfortable." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-19 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonstanton 2008-10-20 09:43 am UTC (link)
	Jon took a moment to think and shook his head. "I don't know, it simply does. It doesn't bother me a whit if you have one, but my having one leaves me feeling like I'm trying to hide something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-20 10:01 am UTC (link)
	"I won't either then," he shook his head, "Because I don't want you to feel as though I'm hiding anything from you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonstanton 2008-10-20 10:02 am UTC (link)
	"I don't." Jon framed Ben's face in his hands and kissed him softly. "I don't. It. Doesn't apply to you, just to myself and I can't explain exactly why. I'm not sure why." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-20 10:05 am UTC (link)
	Ben wrapped his fingers around Jon's wrists, smiling, "Not now, but I don't want it to ever happen, love." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonstanton 2008-10-20 10:09 am UTC (link)
	Jon smiled and kissed him again. "I love you," he murmured against Ben's cheek. "I should also let you finish dinner so that I can take you to bed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-20 10:17 am UTC (link)
	He grinned, pulling away slowly and putting the potatoes in the pot to boil. "I'll come sit on your lap whilst we arrange sex." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonstanton 2008-10-20 10:22 am UTC (link)
	"I think if you sit on my lap, we'll end up doing more than arranging it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-20 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	"I promise I'll resist your charms, sir." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Will you now? Shall I take that as a challenge?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	simoneaux 2008-10-20 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	"No," he grinned, "Well. Okay, yes. But we should finish this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
