Brian heard the front door open, and that in and of itself was enough to make him smile. The fact that Eddie had a key and was able to let himself in like he lived there..

“Are you working?” Eddie asked, bordering on whining as he set down the bags of takeout.

Ahh.. domestic bliss.

“I’m.. almost done. -ish.”

“I thought that we were going to do a movie night tonight..”

“We are, we are,” Brian assured him, extending his neck to steal a quick kiss. “C’mere..” Brian moved his laptop to the side. “You can sit on my lap until I’m done working.”

Eddie gave him a little crooked grin. “Is that, uh.. going to be helpful?”

“I don’t need help; I need you.”

Brian’s hands found Eddie’s waist as he shepherded him where he belonged, in Brian’s lap.

“Mmm, Father,” Eddie softly groaned. “Seems like maybe you do need a little help?”

“Hush,” Brian affectionately chastised. “Can I ask you not to blaspheme while I’m writing my sermon?”

“Forgive me for stating a fact..” Eddie grinded his hips against Brian’s erection, proudly making itself known through his sweatpants. “What’s your sermon about?”

Brian snorted. “Ironically, it’s about patience..” He twisted around Eddie’s body to put his laptop in his boyfriend’s lap and continue typing. He didn’t have to make it perfect. That was what Saturdays were for. He just needed to get the words down for now.

Eddie chuckled, which.. didn’t help the situation in Brian’s pants, or his concentration, feeling Eddie’s body moving against him.. however slight.

“Be patient, then, brothers and sisters,” Brian recited quietly, his voice just a whisper against the back of Eddie’s neck. “Until the Lord’s.. Coming.”

“Ffff-” Eddie cut himself off. “Bri.. Just.. Will you let me do something for you?”

“Can I hear what it is before I-”

Eddie slid out of Brian’s lap and settled on his knees in front of Brian.

“Eddie..”

“I want to put you in my mouth,” Eddie said calmly.

It was equal parts endearing and frustrating to Brian that Eddie was still so careful with him about sexual matters. Like he might scare him off if he got too explicit. Which.. It was totally fair: he might.. But Brian didn’t want that to be true. He liked to fantasize that he was comfortable enough for Eddie to be as filthy and direct as he wanted to be and Brian would not.. curl up into an overwhelmed, protective little ball.

But.. Eddie was patient.

“Would that be okay?”

“I.. I won’t be able to work.”

“I’m not going to be distracting. I’m just going to hold you there.. Until you’re done with work.”

Brian’s heart fluttered in his chest. He swallowed a thickness in his throat. “And then?”

Eddie smirked, looking prematurely pleased with whatever he had in mind for then.

“The other part of my sermon is about humility, you know.”

Eddie rolled his eyes, and then rolled down the waistband of Brian’s sweatpants until he could take his length out.

Brian’s breaths struggled to find their way in and out at an even pace when Eddie’s hand wrapped around him. The touch cool for a moment and then warm.. so warm..

Eddie lowered his sweet lips to take Brian into his lips, and Brian couldn’t help releasing a strangled little whimper. But he kept his hips still; and Eddie kept his face still.

Brian’s heart pounded as he adjusted to the thought of.. leaning over to work on his sermon while he rested, achingly hard in Eddie’s warm, soft mouth.

He was tempted to ask Eddie what he should do. Was it rude to get back to work; or was that.. was that the part that Eddie thought would be sexy? Would Eddie still like for him to read parts of the sermon to him, like he sometimes did? But, he couldn’t really answer like this. So, he just went with his intuition.

“James, the brother of Jesus, compared patience to a farmer waiting for his crop. Not just sitting idly by.. He prepares the fertile soil, he buries his seed, waters the land.. and keeps his eyes on the skies.” Brian cleared his throat again. “He does his part as he waits for God for the.. Growth. Surrendering the timeline to Him.

“Some of you are waiting. Waiting for answers. For healing. For change in your families; breakthroughs in your jobs; clarity for your future. Do not mistake the delay for God’s absence. His timing.. is perfect.

“Psalm 37:37 says, ‘Be still before the Lord, and.. Wait patiently for Him.’ That stillness is not resignation.” Brian took a breath. “It’s trust.”

Brian looked down at Eddie, who stared up at him; mouth full, eyes shining in the dim light of Brian’s living room.

“Patience is the strength to wait; the strength to serve.”

Brian took a deep breath, getting his last few thoughts down in his document.

“Aaaaand, I can finish the rest of this tomorrow.”

Eddie raised his eyebrows in a question.

Brian nodded slowly as he closed his laptop and pushed it to the side.
