⤹
Benatar was home from work pretty early today, had to go home after some dumb kid snuck into the back and threw herself into the deep fryer for the 4th time this week.
(He works at la mierde and the dumb girl was tara LMAO)
And he's just been sitting down lazilly on the couch with vincent on his lap, while waiting for axel for the past what..four, maybe five hours now?
He hasnt had the energy to shower or eat- all hes done so far was feed vincent, and and then he got back onto the couch right after.
He felt like shit, *he looked like shit* all he wanted was to just collapse into his husbands arms and rant about how fucking ABYSMAL his working conditions were.
He hated working at that stupid restataurant! The customers always treated him like shit and there was always some dumb 3 year old on their ipad at max volume, wich was super annoying.
Not to mention the place was also dirty as fuck.
But then again, benatar wasnt so clean himself..
He'd always tried his best to keep up with axels *concerningly* high sex drive, even when it was too much- he couldnt bare the tought of loosing him, he was all he had.
It hurt sometimes.. he never told axel tho..He didnt want to upset him in any way.
"HONEEEEYYY, IM HOMEEEE!"
!
Benatar lets out a startled gasp as vincent excitedly flies up off of his lap, in the direction of his owner.
"Axel!"
He gives him a tired smile, but stays on the couch.
"You not gonna come gimme a kiss or?"
...
He pats the spot next to him, gesturing for axel to come near him.
Axel picks up vincent, places him onto his shoulder and walks over to the "partially" wrecked living room couch, sitting down next to his dishevelled, but still *very* pretty husband.
"You okay ben?"
"Ye, jus' tired- das all."
Axel kisses him softly, and pulls him onto his lap to cuddle.
"Mmf.."
Axel kisses benatar again then lets out a soft chuckle, his dark green eyes shining under the light of their living room lamp.. this causes benatars face to go fully pink.
"You left work early again, yeah? Pfft.. lemme guess, Tara got into the back again?"
"Er- ye...I-I swear theyve gotta put that hellspawn on a bloody leash or somthin!"
Axel chuckles again, but louder this time.
"Honestly im concerned how shes still alive- i mean after all the shit shes been in youd think itd be enough to kill her! Like that one time she tried eating a wasp nest, the burger world incident- oh and cant forget that one time puff hit her with the bus."
"Puff.. i wonder how hes doin."
Benatar frowns slightly at the mention of their old friends name.. itd been awhile since he spoke to him. Hes seen him around town with deejay a few times but he was too scared to talk to him.
It been almost a full year since him and axel left the band, or well- got kicked out.. puff didnt really take the news well when axel came out.
"Knowing him hes probably replaced us already."
"Honestly, im worried bout deejay."
"Deejay's a smart dude, ben. He hasnt left yet probably to keep the peace- doubt hes lasting another month in the band tho."
Benatar nods in agreement, frowning still.
"Yknow axel, maybe if..."
"Hm?"
"Maybe if puff never found out you were trans- we'd still be-"
"Screw the band, i was leaving anyways."
Benatar opens his mouth to speak again, but is interrupted as vincent throws himself onto axel, squawking for attention.
"Awhhh is someone jealous?"
Benatar giggles, and watches as vincent lovinglly nuzzles up to his owner.
"He really does love yew, dosent he?"
Benatar had this funny way of speaking, his english accent had sort of faded over time but itd still come out occasionally when he said certain words.. Axel found it to be pretty cute.
"Yeah he does, dont he?"
"He's so cute! Can i pet him?"
"Course ya can, hun! hes techniclly your bird too now so-"
Benatar pets the top of vincents head, admiring his very stiff but gorgeous blue feathers.
Axel sighs softly, smiling to himself as he watches benatar play with vincent.
"Youve got.. such a cute smile- fuck ive been meaning to say that since 2012."
Benatar blushes hard..they kiss again, tho this time he innitiates it.
Within a matter of seconds he can already feel one of axels hands groping from behind as they continue to make out, another slowly snaking its way down to his belt.
He loves axel, but hes genuinlley too exhausted to do anything.. let alone have sex.
...
"No."
Axel pulls his hands off him and looks at him with a concerned look.
"Hm?"
"Im sorry hun, did i hurt you? Am i making you uncomfy? Shit im so sorry-"
Benatar shakes his head.
"No, no its not that- im just.. tired. Too tired."
"Thats okay, dont worry its okay-"
"Im sorry- im just exhausted.."
"Awh dont be sorry, sweetheart.. its okay."
Axel pulls benatar closer to him, resting his chin on his head.
"Ill never force you to do anything you dont want to, okay? Your so much more than just whats below your belt, honey."
Benatar smiles warmly and hugs axel tight, nuzzling his face into his chest.
"Mmm... i luv yew axel.."
"Love you too, Benadryl."
(Haha benadryl lmao)
