Eric's POV

I walked into the kitchen to find Charles pouring what looked like a batter into cupcake cases.

"Your making cupcakes!!!" I exclaimed happily.

"Yes I am Eric." Charles smiled.

I walked over to Charles and stood behind him. My arms snaked around his waist, pulling him close to me. Resting my head on his shoulder, I whispered "I love you Charles."

Charles, who had just put the cupcakes in the oven, lent up and kissed me. "I love you too Eric." He whispered.

Grinning, I kissed him again. Charles turned himself so he was facing me then laid his head on my chest.

God I love that adorable man.

Chuckling, I asked "Are you in my shirt?"

"So what if I am." He smirked.

I bent down and kissed him passionately, my hands on his waist, his hands around my neck, fiddling with my hair. Carefully, I moved my hands so they were under his thighs and picked him up, his legs wrapping around my waist. I sat him on the countertop then gently kissed him, one hand on the small of his back, the other carefully cupping his face.

I wish the moment could last forever.

I leant in to kiss my boyfriend again however we were interrupted by Eleanor rushing in "CHARLES YOU HAD BETTER HAVE SAVED ME A CUPCAKE!"

When she saw us, she stopped and stared.

"You know what I can wait." She stated.

Charles checked his watch then called "Eleanor be a dear and get the cupcakes out of the oven as I'm kind of busy."

I blushed at Charles' last words. I felt a little uncomfortable with the fact that Eleanor was in the same room as Charles and I while we were having a makeout session. I tried to pull away however Charles grabbed onto my shirt and whispered "stay darling," before planting his lips on my own.

As soon as she had got the cakes out of the oven, Eleanor left the room calling "Don't have sex, but if you do make sure you use protection."

Charles and I turned a deep shade of red.

"Sorry about her Eric." Charles whispered, his head resting on my shoulder.

"It's ok love." I smiled before kissing him on the lips again.

Charles: that's good

Eric: everything to see you I want a cupcake

Charles: well aren't you a bit demanding

Eric: yes, I am

Charles: I shall see what I can do

Eric: good

Charles: perhaps next time, we could bake together

Eric: I'd love that

Charles: yay

Eric: how's your work going

Charles: frustrating

Eric: what's wrong love?

Charles: I'm doing some research for my paper but I just can't seem to find the right information and it's so annoying

Eric: hey, take a deep breath. Don't panic, you'll only stress yourself out even more

Charles: how did you know I was stressed

Eric: I know you Charles. It's just like you to get stressed over something like this. Don't worry, you'll find the right information - perhaps you aren't looking in the right book

Charles: that's a possibility

Eric: don't stress yourself out love

Charles: thank you darling

Eric: I'll let you get on with your research, I hope it goes well. I love you

Charles: I love you too
