Timestamp Meme

[angelita26]

I've finished a meme, so I'm starting a new one. (Don't you love summer?)

Head over to my AO3 page (the Masterlist is missing a few things), and pick a fic, any fic. I will write at least 300 words (probably much more) of a timestamp

Here's a little something - it's not exactly what I set out to write, but I like how it turned out. Hope you like it too!

It was late, but one of the boys had woken when Matt and Simon looked in on them and had requested that Matt sing him back to sleep. Simon had taken the opportunity to get ready for bed and slip between the covers. He was checking emails on his iPad when Matt finally came into their room and started taking off his suit from the Normal Heart premiere they'd attended earlier that night.

Simon couldn't help but watch him. After seeing the movie again - it never got any easier to watch Felix die - Simon needed to see that Matt was healthy again. His skin glowed with a light tan, and he was back to his pre-Normal Heart weight, so his musculature was more visible than the bones beneath it.

"I'm okay," Matt said, without looking over at his husband. He could feel Simon's eyes on him, but he knew why. It was hard to watch himself on screen during the movie, but it had to be a million times worse for Simon.

"I know," Simon replied softly.

Matt nodded and finished putting his shoes away and hanging up his maroon suit. "I'm going to take a quick shower."

"It's after two, hon. Just come to bed."

Matt frowned but crossed the room and lay down at Simon's side. He took the iPad and placed it on the bedside table. "Thanks for coming with me tonight. I know it's not easy."

Simon gave him a kiss and cuddled into his side. Matt hadn't put on a shirt, so he ran his fingers across Matt's toned abs and up his chest where he could lay his hand over Matt's heart. "I'm proud of you."

His husband didn't explain, but Matt understood. They'd talked about it before over a couple bottles of their favorite wine. He smiled and put his hand over Simon's. "We should sleep. The boys will be up in a few hours, and I promised them blueberry pancakes."

Simon smiled and kissed him one more time. "Good night."

"Night, babe."

That wasn't what I expected at all, but it was perfect and beautiful.

I loved seeing Simon there with Matt tonight and watching them kiss when Matt's name was announced.

This rang so true to how I see them as a couple in my fertile little mind.

Now I'm curious - what did you expect?

I'm wasn't really sure what to write, but I wanted them to be home in their bedroom and for Simon to see Matt whole and healthy. And I love the quiet, sweet moments of relationships. :D Thank you!

I just loved watching how proud Simon was of Matt, the way he jumped up when his name was announced was so touching. A really lovely couple!

[angelita26]

Me too! Simon seems very proud and excited for Matt - I look forward to seeing him help Matt celebrate his next award winnings (you know there will be more!).
