Tom snuggled his pillow tight. It was Sunday, he had no plans. He sighed softly, not wanting to get up.

Chris spent the last week in marriage concealing with Elsa but the fighting had only seem to get worse. He said that he was he was going to spend the weekend with Tom and that the two of them have plans together, but the problem was the Brit knew nothing.

Tom woke up to his phone ringing. He yawned and picked it up. "mmm Hello?" "Hi Tom, it's Elsa." "Hey Elsa. What's up?" He sat up. "Please tell me you took care of Chris this weekend." Tom was confused. "Took care of Chris?" "... Yes.. He spent the weekend there didn't he?" Tom had to think fast. He tapped into his inner Loki and suddenly laughed. "Oh silly Elsa. It was Chris who took care of me! I don't know how much I drink sometimes." She smiled. "Oh thats good. Thank you." "Any time darling." He hung up and called chris.

Chris hadn't thought much of it. He had spent the whole weekend driving going now where but the time Sunday rolled around he found himself parked outside of tom's place. The looked up and decided that it would've best to go in and at least say hi. He knocked on the door l and prayed Elsa hadn't called him yet.

Tom answered the door and smiled softly, wrapping his arms around him. He was only in a pair of boxers and a silk robe. "Next time you lie to her, warn me first, okay?"

Chris' worries vanished when he saw the other man. He wrapped his arm around his waist and kissed him sweetly. "I hadn't intended to I just.... I needed to drive, needed to get away to be out of there. Away from all the fighting..." He paused and rested his head on the shorter man's shoulder. "Tom....it's getting worse."

"Come in." Tom nuzzled him and led the Aussie in. He poured Chris a cup of coffee. "don't worry, I told her that you were with me, taking care of me because I was drunk."

"I'm sorry I don't mean for you to lie for me." He sigh he felt awful for all of it . Fights, lying it was all getting to him not to mention what it might be doing to India.

"It's not a problem lovely." Tom kissed his forehead. He sat Chris down on the couch and handed him the coffee. "Here."

Chris smiled softly at the kiss and looked up at him before he sat. "Thanks love." He said softly. "I really am sorry."

"Don't apologize, Chris. I understand." Tom said sympathetically.

"I had every intention on coming here I just... I need to clear my head." He put the coffee down on the table and rested his head on the older man's shoulder.

Tom nuzzled his hair and cuddled him. "Don't worry love... Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Stay with me..." He started to say. "Hold me...love me?" The Aussie could feel the pain in his chest he was hurting everyone including Tom. He was worried about him but the one person he was worried about most was the little girl sitting back at home probably wondering why daddy wasn't and if it was her fault mommy and daddy were fighting.

Tom pulled Chris into his lap and gathered the larger man in his arms. He looked so small there, bundled up against Tom's chest. The Brit could see the worry and hurt in his features and kissed his forehead. "Work on fixing things first, okay?"

"I don't want to anymore." The blonde buried his face in the crook of his neck. " it's only getting worse and it'll be a matter of time before she takes my little girl from me."

Tom nuzzled his hair. "This is a no fault state.. She won't take her away..." he whispered, kissing his head

Chris looked up at he and sighed. "She'll find a way."

"I'll make sure she doesn't." Tom reassured and snuggled him tight.

Chris just laid his head on the Brit's shoulder. "But what if she does Tom? What if she does take my little girl from me?"

"She won't, darling." He whispered soothingly. "Your little girl will be with you forever. Promise."

The blonde just laid there for some time. He wished he had come here sooner. He knew Tom could have helped him better then anything.

Tom rocked him slowly in his arms, humming lightly. "Do you want to go out somewhere?"

The Aussie shook his head and curled up closer. "I would rather stay here with you."

Tom wrapped him in a blanket and nuzzled his hair. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey... You'll never know dear, how much I love you... Please don't take my sunshine away.

Chris listened to him sing and he knew right then why he loved him, all over again.

The Brit cuddled his mate close, kissing his temple. "Don't worry... I'll always be here for you.."

"I'm sorry I've put you in the middle of this." the blonde said softly. He felt safe and warm in the Brit's arms.

"Shhh..." Tom hissed sweetly in his ear. "I don't mind... You need someone that loves you.."


Chris leaned up and place a gentle tender kiss to Brit's lips. "I'm grateful I have you."

Tom kissed him back sweetly. "I feel the same... Worry not, Chris. I'll never leave you... Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the earth doth move, doubt that truth be a liar... But never doubt that I love."

Chris smiled at his lover and couldnt help but feel tje sadness in his heart. He was a liar and cheater and he was beginning to feel like both deserve better. He kissed Tom's forehead and laid his head back down to his lap. He didnt know what to do anymore.

Tom could see the wheels and gears turning in the Aussie's skull. He bundled the man tight in his arms and hummed. "Chris, I'd like you to know that you're stuck with me, okay? I love you and I'm not going anywhere. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side as your lover, your mate, your friend..."

" I just wish we could more. I wish it was you in Elsa's place." Chris hide his face a bit. almost a shamed that he felt this way. "I have tried with her. I have done everything I could to make it work. But it's all getting worse and there is no one I love more..." He paused and looked up. A single tear streamed down his cheek. "than I love you."

Those long fingers wiped away the tears in a gentle caress to the cheek. "And one day, it will be... But for now I think you should talk to Elsa about a divorce... I see it in her eyes as well. Don't mention me."

"I just don't want to lose India." That was his main worry. As much as he loved Tom his first concern was his little girl and the life she would live if the two of them got divorced. He loved Tom and he would spend the rest of forever with him as long as his little girl would be okay.

"You won't. If you talk to her and you both are even on the divorce, you don't have to worry.. India is young, she'll grow up fine."

The blonde smiled and cuddled the Brit. He knew coming here was the right choice. The man always knew how to smile. He leaned up and kissed the man once more.

The Brit held his Aussie close, capturing his lips in a tender kiss. "I love you.."

"I love you too." Chris sighed sweetly and nuzzled and kissed his jawline and neck.


"Would you like coffee?" He asked

Chris just shook his head and kissed him passionately. "No I just want you." He whispered. His eyes covered over with love and lust.

Tom smiled sweetly and lifted his chin. "Then you may have me..."

The blonde straddled the brit's lap and looked into his eyes. He leaned forward and place a gentle sweet kiss to the other man's lips. It was passionate and loving, something he hadn't felt since the last time he was with Tom, but it also carried an undertone of lust.

The brit held his Aussie's hips and held that sweet and fiery kiss, hands working quickly to remove their clothes. He licked his index and middle finger and slowly slid it into the blonde.

The Aussie let out a soft moan to hide just how much he truly want this, wanted him. It was an over whelming feeling to want to be this close this...connected.

"Louder.." Tom purred in his ear, fingering him deeply. He wanted to hear Chris screaming out for him.

Chris moaned louder as demanded and pushed back on the fingers in him. "More~" he plead as tried to get more desperately.

Tom pulled back his fingers and pressed into him, biting his lip. "Nnn.. Chris.."

"Ahhh.... tom... Please more..." the blonde moaned. He could feel the brit pressing up againt his prostate

Tom smirked and gave a sharp thrust into the bundle of nerves. "Like that?"

Chris damn near screamed in pleasure as it was hit. "Oh god yes!"

Tom growled deep in his chest, repeatedly ramming into it. "Scream for me, love.."

The Aussie did just that as the brit rammed into the sweet nerve center. "AHHH." He screamed so loud that he knew his voice would be shot in the morning if this kept up. He didn't care, he had most of what he wanted right there at that moment.

The Brit lifted his Australian lover's legs by the back of the knees, driving in deeply and repeatedly ramming into his prostate. "Cum for me, my sweet..."

"Oh god... TOM!" He screamed his name with each and and before he knew it he release spurts of fluid on to both his and Tom's chest. His muscles rippled tightly over the brit's erection.

He gave a deep growl, pistoning in and out of him like a mad man. He leaned down, biting Chris's chest as he came.

Chris shuttered as he felt the other release. It was times like these he felt closer to Tom than anyone else. He pulled down his lover and kissed him as deep and as passionate as he could muster.

Tom gave him the same heated, passionate kiss. He snuggled chris close and smiled. "I love you.." He whispered into the Aussie's ear, long slender fingers caressing his spine. "More than the moon and stars, the light of day or the cooling of night... More than a quiet day with Shakspeare, I love you."

Knowing how much Shakespeare meant to Tom so hearing his words made his heart race a mile a minute. "Tom I..." He paused and looked up at the man he wished he could make forever his. "I love you too. In more ways than I know how to express." He smiled and held the man tight.

Tom gave his one true love a sweet kiss. "I will never leave you, Chris... I promise, I will never leave you. Through the thick and thin we must endure, I will be here... Are you thinking about talking to Elsa soon?" He whispered.

The Aussie nodded. It was time he finally told her. The fights were getting out of hand and he didn't want his little girl or the now unborn twins to deal with that. He didn't want to put her under anymore stress.

"My doors are open if you need somewhere to go with India..." Tom gave him another sweet kiss. "Please... Don't lose your temper..."

Chris sighed, the thought of his very possibly his soon to be ex wife. "I will try I can't promise anything though." He laughed softly.

"Eheheh... That's all I can ask of you..." He panted tender kisses all over the Aussie. "Want me to drive you over, love?"

"Does it have to be right now?" He whinned teasingly. "Really I would rather lay here in your arms and sleep the day away.... or love the day away." He grinned.

Tom laughed. "No,it doesn't have to be now... But it should be soon, love..."

He looked down at the bed and cuddled into the Brit. "Will you stay with me?" He asked pathetically.

Tom nuzzled his hair. "I always will.."

Chris smiled and rested his head on the brit's chest. "I meant when I go talk to Elsa."

"I know. Yes, I will stay... Do you want me to say anything?"

"Only if thins get too out of control." The Aussie smiled and kiss his beloved's chest.

"You've got it..." Tom purred, kissing his temple.
