Boundless Universe

   “i know,” he mumbles, but he’s still sitting up anyway. a smile cracks over his features, dimpling his cheeks, and he slides out of bed. “yeah, i can make some grilled cheese.” a hand rests in tony’s hair for a moment while he presses a kiss to his forehead, but then he’s pulling on a t-shirt and making his way to the kitchen. “c’mon, tony, i know better than to believe that– put some frozen peas on it. for me?” 

Tony smiled rather thrilled at the prospect of getting Luther to cook for him. He had always loved his husband’s cooking, and honestly it was a down right miracle that he hadn’t managed to gain a whole bunch of weight from all the food he ate these days. “You know you spoil me right?” he smiled as he followed Luther to the kitchen. 

   luth had been drifting but he’d been trying his best to stay up for tony, so he’s glad to be woken up. “mm, hey, baby.” blue eyes are blinked open before being scrunched back closed as he rubs at them. “uh— yeah, sure. sounds good.” he sits up and sees the book that’d been occupying him left at his side. “hey, hold on.” a finger hooks under tony’s chin before he leans in to press a gentle kiss to his lips. “let’s get some frozen peas on that eye, huh?” 

      She already disliked him. This was quite the accomplishment – but Clarke LOATHED being talked down to. “BLESS YOUR HEART.” Ouch. “But I think I’m gonna walk away instead.”

      “ – Rude.” She has no idea who she’s talking to. The abrupt plague of goosebumps should have been a clue, though. “You can feel free to elaborate anytime.”

“And you never let me down.” Harrison chuckled, smiling at the man before taking a fork and grabbing the lo mein. It had been a while since they’d just RELAXED with some take out and he’d missed nights like this. Generally at least one of the kids were around, but he couldn’t say he wasn’t happy for the alone time.

Harrison shook his head slightly. “Just the usual. Team Flash. Stopping bad guys. A robbery, a mugging, and no new metas of the week is an improvement. Knock on wood.” He rapped on the table lightly. “I’m hoping that this STREAK is one we can keep up. No pun intended. Well- okay, a little bit of a pun intended.”

The quiet of the house was almost odd within itself, it was so rare that they ever had the place to themselves. Though normally he would miss the loudness that came with having the kids running in and out, he was relieved to just have this moment be the two of them. Ever since Barry became the flash, it almost felt like they never had a moment to just slow down. It was honestly a miracle he hadn’t gotten anymore grey hairs with how stressed and worried he always seemed to be. 

Harrison leaned in to meet the kiss and turned his head to catch Joe’s lips with a smile. As if his husband thought he was going to get away without PROPERLY kissing him. He turned to the takeout, shifting his position on the couch with his arms so that he could actually take a look in the bags.

                             “Chicken and broccoli…shrimp lo mein… You’re the best.”

Joe couldn’t help the smile and soft chuckle when the other managed to catch his lips up in a kiss. He had absolutely no complaints, proper kisses were far better in his opinion. Joe turned his attention to the food as well, going about pulling all of the cartons out of one of the bags so they would be easier to inspect. 

Surprisingly, Harrison had actually gotten away from the lab early. Everyone had had plans, it seemed, save for him. He was settled on the couch reading when Joe finally got back from the station and Harrison GRINNED at the sight of his husband. They’d seen so little of each other recently, the prospect of sitting down for a meal and being able to spend the next few days with each other was more than welcome.

             “Right here.” He marked his page and put his book down. “What’d you get?”

Joe couldn’t help but smile at the sight of his husband on the couch, glad that he was actually home. Making his way into the living room, he plopped down next to the other. He placed the bag of takeout on the coffee table so he was able to lean over and kiss Harrison on the cheek. 

It felt like he had been working nonstop for the last few weeks, rarely having time to do anything other than sleep and eat in between all the hours of overtime he was managing to earn. It was easy to say that he was exhausted and down right looking forward to the few days off he was finally being awarded now that he had managed to close the case.
