Warnings: literally none they are so soft

--

Virgil sat closely next to Logan on a blanket he had managed to dig out of one of all the boxes now stacked and strewn everywhere in their new home. The evening air was cool, but not cold, and the sky above them was dark, but full of shining stars that had made them both so excited to move here.

Virgil and his husband were spending their first night in their new house, in a new town, so very different from their little apartment in the huge city where they used to live. This town was pretty small, in their opinion, the sky wasn't full of enough pollution to hide all the stars, there wasn't constant noise from people and cars. And they had so much more room in their new house.

They'd barely gotten anywhere with unpacking all their stuff, they had made their bed ready so that they could go to sleep, they'd moved at least half the boxes with their stuff into the rooms where they would eventually be unpacked, Logan had set up their wifi and Virgil had began to unpack all their kitchen stuff, deciding in which cupboards and drawers everything should go.

They hadn't gotten much further than that before they'd ordered some take out, much later than they should have, and then Logan had dragged him outside to get some fresh air, and as the dark fell they had sat down together and gazed up at the stars. His husband had an arm around him, keeping him near, and Virgil leaned his head on Logan's shoulder. He didn't want to admit it, but he was beginning to get a bit tired, had tired himself out by worrying an excessive amount when the moving truck with all their belongings had been late.

Logan's hand found his, a kiss was pressed to Virgil's forehead. He could sit here forever, he didn't want this moment to end, no matter how tired he might become. But he smiled to himself at the sudden realization that this wasn't a one time thing unless they wanted it to be.

This was their house, they were sitting in their garden, they could sit outside and stargaze every evening if they so wanted. He sat up slightly straighter, letting go of Logan's hand to cup his jaw and coax him in for a soft, slightly sleepy kiss. Logan smiled at him, leaning into Virgil's touch.

"You look tired, starlight." He said and Virgil shook his head.

"I don't want to go inside just yet. It's just... really nice to sit here with you." He said and Logan hummed, still smiling as he let his eyes wander over their surroundings.

"Indeed. I am so relieved we're finally here."

"Me too, but it will be even nicer when we've finished unpacking all our stuff. I can't believe we have so many things." He whined, probably not seeming so upset anyway.

"I'm... excited." Logan said, a happy sigh escaping him as he looked back up at the stars glittering from so far away.

"Hm?" Virgil could of course himself guess many reasons why he was excited, but he had always adored listening to Logan ramble.

"There are just so many more possibilities for us now. We can finally get a pet now when our living space isn't cramped and it has the possibility to go outside with a much smaller chance of being hit by a car. I know how long you've been wanting a kitty, and I am open to that idea." He said and Virgil snaked his arms around Logan's middle.

"We have a garden, we can grow herbs and greens, or plant strawberries and such, and all our favorite flowers." Logan added, them both knowing that it was mostly Logan who would be keeping himself occupied with that, although Virgil was sure he would join in when he had the time and energy.

"You and your green thumb, if I touch the plants they will die within a day." Virgil joked, referring to all the indoor plants he had managed to kill, ranging from delicate flowers to succulents.

"Nonsense, you will do great, and even if the plants die I'm just happy I get to spend time with you." Logan promised, he was such a sap and Virgil loved him so much.

"Yeah, I sure hope so." He shut his eyes, just resting them for a little while.

"It's going to be nice when we've unpacked all our stuff, maybe then I will finally comprehend that this is really our home now. There is so much more space. We can even get a real Christmas tree this year." Virgil mentioned, which was something he hadn't had since he was living with his parents. There had never really been any room for a real tree, and it had just felt too difficult to get one up and down all the stairs to their apartment.

"Indeed we can. And..." Logan shifted slightly, a warm hand being placed on top of Virgil's and he loosened his grip around Logan so that he could take Virgil's hand and bring it up to his lips to press a gentle kiss to his knuckles.

"And?" Virgil said, urging him on slightly, watching the faint smile on his face.

"Well, we can actually consider having children." He said and Virgil once again ducked his head and pressed his face into Logan's shoulder, smiling. Whenever the topic of kids had come up before it had always ended up being dismissed as a anyway, we don't need to decide anything yet because, since they had both discussed kids several times before (as one should before getting married and planning a life together) they knew they both wanted kids.

They were in their early thirties and before the reason why they hadn't wanted kids just yet was because of how their lives had looked, their financial and living situation stopping them. But now- Suddenly they were living that point in their life where all that they had read about the adoption process could become their reality.

"Yeah. Yeah, we can." Virgil said, almost a bit overwhelmed by the realization that they could really be parents, frowning when Logan untangled himself from Virgil's hold. Logan shifted so he sat facing him, his hands coming up to cup Virgil's face and whatever frown had been on Virgil's face was wiped away as Logan leaned in to kiss him.

"Do you think we are ready?" Logan asked, which was really his way of asking if Virgil was ready, they both knew Logan was, having surprised Virgil with how much he wanted kids. Virgil was just a little too good at worrying about everything that being a parent would entail.

"I mean, yeah. I think so. Like, in a few months when we're back on track with our lives and aren't as stressed about everything that needs to be done at home and about starting work in a new place, then yeah." He said, realizing he was rambling slightly but it didn't make him feel flustered, not when his husband was looking at him in such a gentle way, emotions of happiness and love just thinning through.

His thumbs brushed Virgil's cheeks and he leaned in to press a quick and careful kiss to the corner of his mouth before leaning their foreheads together. Virgil sighed softly, one arm coming to rest around Logan in a sort of half-hug and with his free hand carefully tangled in Logan's soft hair.

They sat like that for a long while, until Logan realized Virgil was about to fall asleep any moment, then he chuckled quietly and carefully untangled himself from Virgil.

"Let's go inside, starlight." He said and they both got to their feet somehow, Logan gathering up the blanket and then, with an arm around him, guiding Virgil inside and up the stairs, having left the blanket in the living room on one of the boxes. They changed into pajamas and crawled into bed, sharing a sleepy kiss before drifting off, cuddled close together and thinking of their future.
