ladyofleithianTitle: Ringing In A Better Year
Summary: Ben takes care of Poe after Poe does his countdown of best and worst songs of 2021.
Prompt: Domestic Bliss
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
It was night when Poe Dameron finished making his review of the Top Ten Best and Worst Songs of 2021, and there was something about Poe’s eyes that suggested to Ben that his fiancé was already tired from his review. Poe had tried to be as optimistic as he could even when he was doing his Top Ten, even when he was doing the worst segments, but Ben could tell that 2021 had taken it out of his fiancé in some ways.
He hated that very idea, to be honest. Ben wanted his fiancé to be happy. It had been a rough year for Ben too in some ways, but it was interesting how when something happened to you it didn’t matter as much as when it happened to someone you loved.
Ben turned off the camera, and he watched as Poe sat back and yawned.
“You look like you talked yourself out,” Ben teased gently.
Poe laughed. “I guess I did. You know, this couch looks awfully cozy; I think I’ll sleep here…”
“In your clothes?” Ben exclaimed.
Poe grinned, looking a bit tired. “Nah, just messing with you, sweetheart.”
Ben laughed. He’d at least give Poe that; considering how worried Poe had been for everyone’s mental health and physical well-being this year, Poe needed to tease, if it made him happy.
“Come on,” he said. “I’ll carry you to bed.”
***
Poe’s laughter was bright, happy laughter even as Ben carried him bridal style to their bedroom. Even as Ben put him down, it still amazed Ben that Poe still wanted to marry him. It was something that really impressed Ben every time, if he was to be perfectly honest.
Poe got dressed for bed. Ben asked if he wanted privacy, to which Poe said lightly, “Trust me, Ben; it’s nothing you haven’t seen before.”
That was true enough. Ben, at least, got the very enjoyable (in his opinion) view of his fiancé’s body — his shoulders, his ass, his hips. The more time Ben spent with Poe, the more he was convinced that he was an incredibly lucky man. Not only was Poe painfully desirable, but he was also a funny, kind man.
One of the best parts about being engaged (besides the feel of Poe’s mother’s ring on your finger) was the fact that Poe was still ever desirable. Beautiful. Poe seemed to notice and appreciate Ben’s eyes on him, even if they were both too tired out to have sex.
Plenty of time for that in 2022. Hopefully, Ben thought as he and Poe snuggled in bed together, it would be a better year than 2021.
