Tyler was tired from the night before. It had been days since he had seen Evan and the night before, he decided to go out with his three good friends, Scotty, Marcel, and Anthony. Drinks seemed like a good idea and they even had their designated driver, Ryan. They all drank, aside from Ryan, and enjoyed themselves, catching up on what they've missed since they last all talked.

Of course when it got to Tyler he talked about Craig and how they've been. He was sober enough to know not to mention Evan so that was a (silent) blessing. If he did mention how he's been fucking this guy Evan then he was sure his friends would immediately tell Craig and Craig would leave him.

Maybe he did deserve to be left? Eh, probably.

He loves Craig, just the problem was that he wasn't.. Satisfied? He's not sure. He got all the love he needed from Craig while Evan gave him his sexual needs? His emotions and feelings were blurring into one big circle and it was too early for him to be up. Then again if he did go back to bed he might dream about Evan and he did not want that currently. He wanted to focus on Craig and remember how good he had it currently.

He let out a yawn and stayed in bed still, thinking about when he had actually first met Evan which was at some club that both of their friends group brought them to.

The two had ended up at the bar, talking about how annoying the bright lights were or how loud the pop music was. The drinks kept coming as the conversation continued and that lead to Tyler and Evan finding an alleyway nearby that brought a heated make out while hands explored the others body.

Tyler let out a groan as he remembered how amazing Evan looked that night and how great he felt underneath him. He rubbed his legs together and rolled onto his other side, bringing his hands up to rub his eyes.

Tyler jumped at the sudden ding from his phone that sat on his bedside. He slowly reached for it as the door began to open, catching his attention now.

In the doorway stood his boyfriend, Craig, who looked like an angel to Tyler.

"Morning babe." Craig said warmly as he sat down on the bed, deciding to rest his torso on Tyler who groaned in response to the sudden weight resting on him.

"Craig get oooff." Tyler complained and Craig rolled his eyes, deciding he liked the position since it was quite comfortable.

"Nah." Craig grinned and Tyler decided to roll again which made Craig fall off of him and land next to his boyfriend.

The two began to laugh and Tyler felt his cheeks heat up at how adorable his lover was. In Tyler's eyes, he could see how the skin near his eyes were crinkled up and how his lips were parted slightly. His glasses rested on the bridge of his nose and were still slowly sliding off as his laughter continued to be heard throughout their room.

"Hey Craig?" Tyler asked sincerely and Craig's laughter died down as he looked at his boyfriend.

"Mmm?" He hummed.

"I love you." Tyler replied with no hesitation and Craig's face began to turn red at the sudden confession.

Craig knew Tyler wasn't one for being sincere or romantic, so this was a surprise to hear so early in the morning.

"I love you too." Craig whispered and leaned over, giving his boyfriend a quick kiss on his lips, catching Tyler off guard.

"You're amazing."

"And you are too."
