Dinner started simple. Pasta on the stove, garlic bread in the oven, a bottle of red they’d been saving for “a good night.” Neither called tonight good, exactly. Just necessary.
They ate at the kitchen counter instead of the table. Knees brushing under the overhang. Bare feet tangled on the cool tile. Steve twirled spaghetti around his fork with more focus than it deserved. Bret watched him over the rim of his glass. The wine was already loosening the edges of everything.
Steve set his fork down halfway through. Looked at Bret like he’d just realized something important.
“You’re literally keeping me alive right now,” he said. Quiet. Matter-of-fact. “If you hadn’t been here, I’d have died of heartbreak. Straight up. You’re my favourite person.”
Bret’s chest seized. Not dramatically. Just a slow, deep ache that spread under his ribs like warm oil. He tried to keep his voice light. Bromantic. Safe.
“High praise,” he said. “I’ll add it to my resume. Emotional defibrillator. References available upon request.”
Steve laughed. Soft. Real. But his eyes stayed serious. “I mean it. I was drowning. You threw me a rope. And you keep holding the other end.”
Bret swallowed wine to buy time. “Someone had to. Couldn’t let you go under.”
Steve reached across the counter. Covered Bret’s hand with his own. Thumb stroked once over the knuckles. Slow. Deliberate. “I’m glad it was you.”
They stayed like that a minute. Hands linked. Wine glasses forgotten. The kitchen light caught the faint stubble on Steve’s jaw, the way his throat moved when he swallowed. Bret felt every point of contact like it was wired directly to his pulse.
They finished the bottle. Then opened another.
By the time they stumbled toward bed, the room tilted pleasantly. Clothes came off in the hallway. Shirts dropped. Shorts kicked aside. Routine now. Skin to skin under the sheets. Always.
Steve slid in behind Bret. Chest sealed to back. Arm around waist. Leg hooked over hip. Familiar. Perfect. Dangerous.
They lay quiet at first. Breathing syncing up. Then Steve’s mouth brushed Bret’s shoulder. Not a kiss. Just an accidental graze when he shifted closer. Lips soft. Warm. Lingering a second too long.
Both froze.
Bret’s breath caught. Steve’s did too. The accidental touch stretched into something deliberate. Neither pulled away. Steve exhaled shakily against skin. Bret felt the shiver run through both of them.
Steve murmured, voice thick with wine and sleep, “You smell like home.”
Bret closed his eyes. “You’re drunk.”
“Still true.”
