Disclaimer:I do not own Syed, EastEnders, or Marc Elliott. If I did, I’d have the Christian and Syed show, and they would be shirtless all the time. I would also be playing with Marc’s hair constantly and finding creative ways to have him not smoke anymore...

Summary: After Christian and Syed went home.
“Let’s go home,” Christian said as he started to walk back towards his place. Syed glanced towards his family’s house one last time, and jogged to catch up with Christian. He snaked his arm around Christian’s waist, grinning at the fact that he no longer had to keep it a secret that he was with this man. And that they were going back to his - no make that their flat now.
Syed’s heart was racing the whole way back to the flat. He had made his choice. There was no going back. No more “aunties” trying to set him up with the right one, no more talk about destiny. This was his destiny. He was being who he was.
As they walked arm in arm, Christian looked over at Syed, grinning that through all the pain and heartache, he'd been able to forgive Syed for all he had done, and now that reward was coming to fruition. He could see that Syed’s mind was racing and that eventually they would need to talk, but for right now this moment was theirs to savor.
Back at the flat, Christian led Syed up the stairs and inside. Christian walked to the kitchen and Syed hesitated for a moment. Why am I hesitating? This is what I want. Syed’s heart was pounding even more and he finally realized that this was all real. It was happening.
Christian had something in his hand but Syed didn’t notice it as Christian walked over towards the sofa, and motioned for Syed to follow. When Syed didn’t immediately follow, Christian looked over at him, holding out his arms and saying, “Come here. You don’t have to be afraid. This is us against the world. We are in this together.”
Syed walked over and into Christian’s arms. He nuzzled his head into Christian’s neck and took a deep breath. Christian’s smell. It always made him feel safe. He looked up at Christian and said, “So... this is us. A new beginning.”
“A new beginning.” Christian replied and placed a kiss to Syed’s forehead. He reached down to the sofa, picking up what he had placed there a few moments earlier. “I have something for you.”
Syed looked at Christian as he handed him a key to his flat. “You live here now. You need a key, you know.”
Syed grinned, and closed his hand around the key. “It’s going to take some time, but it’s going to be all right, isn’t it?”
Christian nodded and pulled Syed back in for a long slow kiss.
