Rami had been hesitant but Joe had nagged and prodded until he had finally agreed to go skinny dipping with him. And now, it was dark and they were about to actually go swimming. 

Joe was already shedding his clothes and he couldn’t help but look just a little bit but caught himself before his eyes trailed too low. Slower, he followed suit and got undressed. Thankfully, Joe was already in the water once he was done and too busy splashing around to make fun of him being shy. 

It also was not good because Rami found himself distracted by how ethereal he looked with the moonlight and the water. His eyes were shining bright when he turned back towards him, grinning widely. 

“C'mere!” he called and held out a hand. 

Rami felt almost compelled to take it and let himself be pulled deeper into the water until he had to stand on the tip of his toes to keep his head afloat.  

“Is it so bad now?” he asked. 

“No.” 

Joe splashed him then, causing a splash fight to break out. Once they were a bit closer to shore and actually had some resemblance of footing, they wrestled playfully. Rami was dunked several times and in return, managed to dunk Joe too as they laughed. 

They stumbled backwards, both of the screeching as they lost their balance and fell. Joe landed on top of him, pushing all the air out his lungs and making him blush furiously. 

Joe was giggling madly, a wide grin on his face and Rami was left speechless. 

There was a shift in the atmosphere and he could see Joe’s eyes flitting to his lips before meeting his eyes again. 

Whatever he saw must tell him something because he was leaning down slowly, giving him enough time to push him back or stop him but Rami let his eyes fall closed, meeting him halfway. 

He could taste salt on Joe’s lips. Hands tangled into his hair, pulling him into a half sitting position and straddled him fully. Their kiss deepened and grew heated quickly. 

“Fuck, Rami, you have no idea how long I wanted to do that.”

Ben opened the door shirtless, still slightly damp from a shower but Rami was too tired to really appreciate that. He stumbled forward and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, burying his face in his neck. They swayed for a moment until Ben found his balance again, pulling him close. 

“Missed you.”

“Missed you, too.”

For a moment, they just stayed like that, then Ben pressed a kiss to Rami’s temple and they pulled apart to get the suitcase inside. 

Ben pulled him into another kiss, mouths moving against one another lazily and Rami sighed, hand curling into the blond’s short hair. 

He had missed Ben. Phone calls and Facetime just wasn’t enough to make up for the lack of touch. 

They moved into the bedroom, lips not separating once as they tumbled onto the bed. Ben easily unbuttoned Rami’s shirt and pulled it off his shoulders before letting his hands roam over the skin. Rami’s eyes fluttered shut and he let his head fall against Ben’s collarbone, mouthing at the skin he could reach. 

They had been talking about what they were going to do to each other once they are back together for weeks and Rami really wanted to get it on but he was so tired. 

“Babe?” Ben asked, carding his fingers through Rami’s hair. 

“Tired.” he answered, sloppily kissing his jaw. 

Ben nodded, actually also looking pretty tired. 

“Nap?” he offered. 

He helped Rami getting out of his pants and they settled down, pressed together as closely as possible. 

Rami sighed into Ben's mouth and tangled his fingers into the soft blond strands. The grass was still a bit clammy from the morning fog and his clothes would be stained later but with Ben straddling him and kissing him lazily, he really didn't care. 

He shuddered when the younger man's hand slipped underneath his shirt and gently scratched over his stomach. 

Ben kissed a trail down his neck, nipping at his throat as his hand traveled lower. Rami gasped when he pressed down against his erection, hips moving up involuntarily, searching for friction. 

They exchanged a heated look. Ben gently tugged at Rami's belt. 

"Please, Ben." 

"We gotta be fast. They will miss us at some point."

Rami nodded and helped him getting rid of his pants as quickly as possible. He turned around and got onto all fours, spreading his legs to give Ben easy access. 

Normally, Ben liked to draw out the fingering until Rami was a trembling mess but it wasn't the time for this right now but he still made sure he was properly stretched before sinking into him with one hard thrust. 

Rami needed a moment to get used to the feeling of being full and Ben took the opportunity to press kisses along his spine until he gave him the okay to go ahead. 

They didn't have much time so he set a fast pace, jerking Rami off in a matching rhythm, making the older man curse and moan. 

Joe sighed as Gwilym’s finger carded through his hair, massaging shampoo into it. He sunk further into the hot water and wanted to lean back against Gwil but couldn’t because his hands were still in his hair. His nails scratched softly against his scalp and Joe hummed deeply. 

Gwil grabbed for the showerhead and Joe dropped his head forwards, shielding his face with his hands to not get any sud into his eyes as Gwily carefully washed all the shampoo out of his hair. His carder through the strands one last time, making sure he got everything out before pulling him flush against him and kissed his shoulder. 

Joe found Gwil’s hand and laced their fingers together.

“I can’t believe I got sick!” 

Joe sneezed, then sniffled miserably. He wrapped his blanket tighter around himself and pouted at Ben, who gently carded his fingers through Joe’s hair. 

“You’ll be fine in a few days.”

Joe leaned against him and hid his face in the blond’s neck, whining loudly. 

“Alright, lay down. I’m gonna go to the drug store and get you some tea, some cough drops and whatever else I can find.”

“No, stay with me.” 

Ben laughed at his boyfriend’s behaviour and pressed a gentle kiss to his temple. 

“Alright, I’ll stay until you fall asleep, then get the stuff and I’ll be back before you even know it.” 

It took some careful arranging for them to fit into one bed but somehow, they managed it. Joe had insisted to be in the middle and was now incredible happy to be squished by Ben and Gwil. Their legs were all tangled together and both Ben’s and Joe’s head were resting on Gwil’s arm. 

Ben sighs softly, leaning back against Gwilym’s chest and closes his eyes. They are cuddled up as close as possible on their couch and Ben had snuggled up between Gwilym’s legs but the other man doesn’t seem to mind, loosely wrapping an arm around his waist. Frankie was settled comfortable in Ben’s lap, already fast asleep.

He hears him flipping through the pages of the book before pressing a quick kiss to Ben’s cheek and clearing his throat.
