Challenge #189: "You are my joy."
Title: Joyful Author: Xie Prompt: "You are my joy." Condoms: 2 to Brian's happy face
1.
Justin slipped his foot under Brian's and tried to tangle their toes together. He cooperated for a few seconds, then laughed and pushed him away with his feet – then, without warning, rolled onto his back, pulling Justin with him.
"You asshole," Justin said, laughing. "I wanted to hold feet."
Brian lunged up and caught Justin's mouth in a kiss, but as a distraction, it failed. Justin's hands were in his sides, tickling him.
Brian yelped and laughed and tried to roll away, finally gasping, "Enough, stop it…"
Justin stopped, but grabbed Brian's hands in his. "This is why, isn't it?"
2.
Brian struggled a little, still laughing. "Why, what?"
Justin put his mouth at Brian's ear. "Why you never wanted to say you loved me. Because of this."
"What, that you'd develop a romantic obsession with my toes?"
"No," Justin said, rolling off and putting his head on Brian's chest. "Because you never let good things sink in."
Brian didn't answer, so Justin lifted his head and looked at him.
"Sometimes I do," he said, the most beautiful smile on his face. "Lately. For some reason."
Justin smiled and kissed him softly, and a little while later they were both asleep.
