The pale light of early morning had barely begun to peek through the blinds when Benny awoke. It was entirely too early for him to be up, especially with no alarm set. He stared futilely at the dim red light of the clock on his night stand. After what seemed like ages, he let out a frustrated sigh.
He rolled over to snuggle against Will, who was splayed out on his back. With an amused sideways glance, he looked upon his husband's peaceful face before nestling into his side. Will's chest rose and fell in a slow rhythm, uninterrupted as Benny hooked one leg over one of his.
He was again amused to feel the coolness of his partner's bare skin against most of his leg. His beloved flannel pants had apparently been ditched at some point last night. As he traced circles on Will's bare chest, he couldn't help but notice a twitch in the fabric of his boxer briefs, the only barrier between them now.
Benny raised his eyebrows as he looked upwards in an attempt to see if he had actually stirred. Nothing. That's when the thought struck him, a memory of a conversation that had come and gone between them. He languidly trailed his hand down Will's chest and stomach.
He slowly took in the hills and valleys beneath his fingers. A deep inhale had the blonde pause. Still nothing. A small smile crossed his lips as he let his hand continue its journey. His fingers danced lightly over his groin, relishing in the gentle pulse beneath them.
Will shifted slightly in his sleep, moving the arm beneath Benny so his hand could rest on his shoulder. A soft sigh escaped his lips as the blonde gingerly wrapped his fingers around his erection.
Benny couldn't help but press his own hips against his lover. Minutes passed as he continued to indulge himself in this way. Will let out quiet moans, made gentle movements amidst his slumber. Something resembling words finally rumbled from Will.
Benny waited a moment before simply whispering back.
"I love you."
"Love you, too," came the mumbled, barely comprehensible reply; it always entertained Benny that these words were almost a reflex, even while asleep.
But being sentimental and cute was for another time. Beneath the blanket, he searched for the flap in Will's underwear, then teasing out his now fully erect cock.
The ravenette couldn't help but lightly rut up against the blanket covering him, searching for the missing friction of the other's fingers.
So needy, even in sleep.
Benny chuckled to himself, though he couldn't help but oblige.
