Jack turned slightly to press a gentle kiss to his husband’s forehead, letting his lips linger there for a moment. “I think it’s because we just get each other, you know? We don’t have to force anything. It just fits.”

His fingers continued to trace those soothing patterns on Thomas’s arm, enjoying the peaceful connection between them. “It’s like we’ve found our rhythm,” he continued, his tone thoughtful. “The physical side, the emotional side..it all just works together, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

He leaned back slightly to look into Thomas’s eyes, his gaze tender and full of love. “You make everything feel easy, darling. Being with you, talking to you, just laying here like this.. it all feels like home.”
