Paint and Kisses.
pairing: garret graham x wife!reader
summary: Renovating your dream home with Garret should've been simple. Too bad his definition of perfection has nothing to do with the paint and everything to do with you.
a/n: cute fluff for those who need a hug.

“Yes baby, that spot.”
You leaned a little further over the ladder, your foot steadying your weight on its rung, as you stretched your brush, impatiently, towards that tiny “missing” patch Graham keeps persisting on.
Your newly bought home was slowly coming to life. Fresh sage green walls met crisp, bold and white baseboards, replicating a dream of a summer garden washed in morning light. It wasn't grand, rather small and simple yet inviting and perfect, with calm pastels and soulful browns.
“Since when are you such a big perfectionist?” you huffed, patience beginning to wear thin though the corners of your lips curled into an amused smile. It was rather endearing seeing how serious it meant to him, making our home look perfect.
Graham crossed the living room, and pulled open the warm, cream-brown coloured curtains, the kind that glowed golden under the afternoon sun. Light spilled through the tall arched windows, bathing the room with a soft warmth that would grace every season; illuminating the sweet honeyed tones of the old parquet floor.
“I made you a promise on our honeymoon.”’ He said, a subtle, cocky smirk tugging at one corner of his lips-his sparkling gaze found yours again. ‘’You know i’m keeping that.’’
Then he narrowed his eyes dramatically.
“Baby, a little more to the left.”
“Nope. other left.”
You frowned. ‘’Here?’’
“There you go.” He paused. “Actually, i think i need another look.’’
You exhaled, finally snapping. “What spot, Where?” your voice edged with frustration as you twisted awkwardly on the ledge.
Then it clicked.
“You just want an excuse to stare at my butt.”
His eyes immediately widened, his expression caught between guilt and amusement.
“Oh, love, come on-’’
‘’Oh, love, I'm done here.’’ A laugh escaped you, irritation dissolving into warm amusement. Smile softening and eyes crinkling as you looked down at him. ‘’Perfectionist my ass.’’
“Don’t blame me for appreciating the view.’’
He stepped forward, slipping his strong arms beneath your knees and lifting you off the ladder and into his embrace effortlessly.
The teasing slipped from his expression as his eyes warmed. The thug smile giving way to something impossibly fond, something quiet. ‘’You just look too good.’’
You leaned down until your lips met his in a slow, lingering embrace. One hand threading through the soft waves of his hair. Graham’s grip adjusted around you with a light toss into the air, just enough to earn a surprised yelp and a burst exchange of chuckles echoing between you.
‘’Garret Graham, you are obsessed.’’ An uncontrollable smile curved across your lips. He huffed, mirroring it. ‘’Clearly.’’
