Exhausted and somewhat sore, Tim takes his husband's hand and leads him inside their cell. The lumpy cot did not look quite as appealing as the queen size bed they had just left. But it seemed to be screaming out their names.

With less than four hours of sleep in the past two days, they could have slept on the cold hard floor. It didn't matter to them.

Yes, they were still on their honeymoon. But neither man had any strength left. There was plenty of time to finish the honeymoon later. It's not like they were going anywhere.

"You guys get some rest." Chance says. "I'm going to lock your cell to keep visitors out. You can use that sheet to block out the light."

Tim nods as he yawns.

Chance chuckles as he locks their cell. "I'll be back later."

Tim straightens the sheet to cover any view from curious on-lookers. As he turns around, he smiles and shakes his head. Adam had already shed his clothes and left them lying on the floor. Wearing nothing but his boxers, he was curled up on their old cot asleep.

Tim picked up his husband's uniform and laid them neatly on the small dresser. He would have to put them back on later. Tim wasted no time in undressing down to his boxers. Laying his clothes aside, he crawls into bed with the sleeping blonde. Adam snuggles up next to him as he lays his head on Tim's shoulder.

"Good night, Angel Face." Tim whispers, kissing him on the forehead as he wraps his arms around him. Within minutes, the brunette was sound asleep.

Several hours later, Adam wakes up with his stomach rumbling. Neither had eaten anything since the shrimp and strawberries. He was actually feeling nauseous because of his hunger. He smiles at his husband who was sleeping soundly beside him. He softly rubs his finger over the huge hickey that he had left of the brunette's neck.

'You're so beautiful. And you're all mine.' Adam thought as he gently runs the back of his hand back and forth against Tim's whiskers.

"I love you, so much." Adam whispers softly.

"Wh..(clears throat) What?" Tim mumbles. His voice still hoarse from his screaming in the shower.

"I said, I love you so much." Adam whispers as he leans over, kissing his husband's cheek. "And that I'm starving."

"I didn't hear that part." Tim says with a slight smile still with his eyes closed.

"If you heard the first part then why did you ask me what I said?" Adam asks, laying his chin down on Tim's chest, looking up at his handsome husband.

"Because I never get tired of hearing you say it." Tim says as he opens his eyes and looks down at the blue eyes staring up at him.

"Awww. That's so sweet." Adam says with a smile. "But I was being serious about starving."

"Does that mean that you weren't being serious about loving me?" Tim asks with a raised brow.

"No! I mean, yes! Oh, forget it." Adam says as he raises up and crashes his lips against his lover's.

Tim gives a low moan as he wraps his arms around the blonde and pulls him closer.

"Noooo." Adam giggles as he gently pushes away his husband.

"What? Tired of me already?" Tim asks with a pouting lip.

"No! Of course not. But I don't think you want me throwing up on you." Adam says.

"Baby, what's wrong? Throwing up? Are you sick?" Tim asks with worry as he suddenly raises up.

"No, I'm just starving." Adam pouts.

"Well, why didn't you say so?" Tim asks as he gets up to get their clothes.

"I did." Adam chuckles as he reaches out and smacks Tim hard on the ass, forgetting about the rough sex they had had in the shower just that morning.

Tim turns around quickly. His eyes wide and his mouth open. Was he even breathing?

"Oh! Oh, Baby, I am so sorry." Adam says as he jumps up from the bed, pulling the brunette into a hug. "I forgot. I'm so sorry."

"Any other time, I would have enjoyed it." Tim says as he lays his head on Adam's shoulder. "Just not today, okay?"

"I promise to not do it again." Adam smiles and leans back so he could kiss his husband on the head. "Let's get dressed so I won't be tempted again."

"Good idea." Tim says before smacking Adam on the ass.

Chance arrives to unlock their cell. He tells the couple that there was something that he and Rob were wanting to discuss with them and they would meet them in the cafeteria in a few.

~~

Minutes later they were walking into the cafeteria. Some of the inmates that were eating, gave them a nice round of applause as they walk in.

"Gees, I feel like a celebrity." Adam whispers as they go through the line to get their food.

"Well, I see the dead has risen." Avi laughs as the newlyweds walk over to the table.

"Barely." Tim chuckles as he sits down slowly. "Adam was about to pass out from starvation."

"Did Y'all have a good time?" Samuel asks.

"Oh, yeah." Tim nods with a shy smile.

"Are you even chewing that food?" Avi laughs as he watches Adam shovel food into his mouth.

"We haven't eaten since last night." Adam says, looking up from his plate.

"Hey, guys." Chance greets the prisoners as he and Rob pull a couple of extra chairs up to the table.

"So, what were you wanting to talk to us about?" Tim asks as he takes a sip of his tea.

"How do you feel about needles?" Rob asks suddenly.

"Needles?" Tim asks with a puzzled expression. "Well, I'm not a huge fan even though we do have to get flu shots every year. I've never fainted, yet."

"What's this about?" Adam asks.

"Have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?" Rob asks.

"Actually, yeah, I thought about it before I was sent here." Adam replies.

"Not really." Tim answers with a shrug. "Never really crossed my mind. Why?"

"Well, we thought since having actual wedding rings could be dangerous, why not have tattooed wedding bands." Chance answers.

"Hadn't really thought about it. But it's not like we can go to a tattoo parlor." Tim says.

"True." Chance says before leaning forward and lowering his voice. "But what if we bring the tattoo parlor to you? Would you be interested?"

"Ummm." Tim says as he looks around at his husband to get his reaction.

"That would be kinda neat." Adam says quietly to Tim.

"Okay. Sure." Tim answers the guard with a nod.

"I have some buddies that own a tattoo shop. They do awesome work." Chance says as he shows them some of the tattoos that he had on his arms. "I've pulled some strings and made it possible for them to come here."

"This is the other part of our wedding gift to you guys. Pick out anything you want to be done." Rob says with a smile.

"They can be here tomorrow if you guys want to do this." Chance adds.

Once again, Tim looks around at his spouse. Adam nods with a huge smile.

"Sure, why not." Tim answers.

"Okay. We'll go make the arrangements." Chance says. He leans over to give Avi a quick kiss before him and Rob leaves the table.

Adam looks down at his left hand and smiles. Being married to Tim seemed all like a dream. The only thing that was visible from their marriage was the name change on his shirt. Having a visible sign around their ring fingers, firmly tells everyone that they belong to each other.

That night, they lay cuddled on their cot as Tim read softly to Adam from a book that he had gotten from the library. Adam would never get tired of hearing the sound of Tim's voice. It was so low and soothing as he read. Very relaxing. Music to the soul.

Tim smiles as he looks down at his beloved Adam. Sleeping peacefully.

"And they lived happily-ever-after." Tim whispers as he kisses his husband lightly on the forehead. He closes the book and lays it on the nightstand along with his glasses. He gets comfortable and pulls the covers up around their waist. "Goodnight, Adam Foust." He adds with a smile.
