"I wasn't saying we throw away everything we've worked on so far," Archie said with a smile that only grew as he saw the smirk forming on Mason's lips. "I just won't live here with you. Especially since you bought me a business I have to take care of," he added, lifting his other hand to slide his fingers through Mason's hair. "Not yet, anyway. Maybe if you're good-" he slid a leg over Mason's, settling himself astride the other man's lap. "But if you want to insipidly court me and make disgusting gestures of affection then I'm not going to say no."
He inched forward more so that he could lean in and touch their lips together. It felt good. Deep down where his soul would be, it felt good. "I'm going to call you my boyfriend," Archie added, teasing.
