Chapter Twelve: Together

   "Since we're boyfriends now– " 

   "You haven't exactly courted me to my satisfaction", Syne said. "But I guess since you asked me and I accepted the title, then we are boyfriends. Continue".

   Chris rolled his eyes.

   "Since we're boyfriends now, I want to ask you where you want us to be in a few years. What's your vision? I think that's kinda important".

   They were situated in Chris's room, laying down on the bed after putting the properties belonging to aunt Sophie that they could find, to give to her or throw away. Throwing them away didn't seem like such a bad idea but, Syne knew that his boyfriend wouldn't be very happy with him. He was such a 'good' guy.

   He used to like that, but concerning his issues with his aunt, now, he found it annoying.

   "I don't understand where this conversation is going, Chris", Syne said after thinking of a response for a while and receiving an exasperated look from him.

   "I mean, since we're dating officially, what would you want us to be like ten years from now?" Chris clarified.

   "Oh".

   Syne had a feeling that the reason he was thinking about this was because of his shitty relationship with his aunt and because of how he wasted six years with the woman. He didn't blame him, if he were the one, he'd ask such questions too.

   "I guess dating my aunt and eventually breaking up with her has done you some wonders, huh?" 

   Chris chuckled, entwining their fingers. " Yeah, something like that. I mean, I never really loved her and I realize that I should've ended things years ago. Now that I'm free, I just want to understand what your plans are".

   "So… you want to know what I want". 

   Chris faced him, eyes sparkling. "Yes, I do. If you don't mind".

   Syne took a deep breath, extremely serious. "I just want you. I want to be with you for as long as you'll have me– as long as we'll need to be, whether married or living together. And yes, I'm a sucker for kids. So in general, I want you".

   Chris purses his lips. "That doesn't sound so bad".

   Syne leaned forward and kissed him. "It isn't".

   He relaxed on the bed. "I'd also like you to go to therapy though. I want a healthy ass relationship and seeing as your last one was shit, I don't want this one to be like it".

   "That's valid", Chris said beside him.

   "Also, concerning myself, you have a lot of pleasing to do when it comes to my friends. I'd also like you to know that I want to focus on my school and career for a while before I even start thinking of anything like living together or kids".

   "I don't mind. I'm not desperate for any of those things now either, I have a lot of plans for my career too and I'm content just being with you", Chris said. "Trust me, I've been to a daycare and I'm not a fan".

   Syne laughed. "This is a nice conversation to have".

   "It is", Chris agreed.

   "Maybe we'll do more of this later".

   "Uh-huh".

   Chris leaned forward and kissed Syne a bit aggressively before removing the shirt he had on. 

   "You look good", Syne whispered.

   "And you always look beautiful", Chris countered. "Let me show you how beautiful I think you are".

   Syne couldn't say anything to that because his mouth was overtaken by Chris's mouth again.

*****

   Syne looked in awe at Chris's naked chest, he was so sexy. Honestly, he was grateful that he was taking his feelings into consideration and just going slow.

   Chris was always so careful when it came to touching and kissing and immediately stopped whenever he'd show any signs of discomfort. He appreciated it a lot, but now, even after orgasmic experience, he was unsatisfied and he knew why.

   "Why are you frowning your face?" Chris asked, worried. "Did I hurt you or something?"

   "I want us to go all the way", he blurted. Then went red in the face at Chris's surprised expression. He was feeling a mixture of shyness and embarrassment. 

   "Are you being serious right now? A– are you sure?" 

   Syne closed his eyes and nodded, suddenly unable to speak.

   "Okay", Chris finally said, making Syne snap his eyes open.

   Syne started feeling excited. He couldn't believe that they were finally going to do it. He was sweating internally now. He'd heard so many stories about gay sex and they were enough to make him nervous. Especially since he was a bottom– something he'd discovered pretty early in life. He didn't have a problem with that though, he was not the type to dominate… maybe in a few years he'll know.

   Syne could see how aroused he was as he began touching him again. Just that made him go deep in thought, wondering how on earth he was going to handle something so big. How the hell was it going to fit?!

   Chris took him in his arms, touching him slowly. Just simply treating him like a delicate flower. He took his sweet time kissing him, sucking on his skin and licking him, too. He took his time to make Syne moan and groan for more.

   "I– I think you should…"  

   "Okay". Chris understood.

   Chris walked over to the cupboard near the bed and took out a few things that Syne didn't expect…just a packet of condoms and a bottle of lube.

   "Didn't know you had those", Syne commented.

   Chris smiled. "Kinda wanted to be ready for anything, I bought them recently".

   Then he continued kissing him. 

   Syne couldn't really place what happened and when but, he knew his legs were spread wide open at the moment and Chris had a finger up his ass.

   Syne felt like he could die at how uncomfortable and painful everything was as his boyfriend put a second finger in him.

   "I'm so sorry", Chris kept whispering, apologizing and telling him how good he was doing.

   The third finger though, it hit something that made him moan and wince at the same time. Syne opened his eyes in shock.

   Chris grinned. "Wonderful".

   He removed his fingers and started focusing on wearing the condom and lubing himself and Syne up.

   Syne wrapped his arms around him, looking at his boyfriend with trust and a little bit of anxiety, but the trust was more though.

   "May I?" Chris asked, positioned against his hole.

   Syne nodded, eyes closed.

   Chris pushed in when there were no other objections. It hurt like hell until a while, when Syne started moaning. He took hold of one of Syne's thighs to aide his movements.

   Syne never thought he would enjoy anything like this. It was so good…so damn good.

   "This is amazing", he whispered into Chris's ear before coming on him.

   Of course, it wasn't the last time because when he recovered from his high, they started all over again.

   Damn, such a beautiful experience.
