Eric's POV

I opened the door to our apartment and I was met by the beautiful scent of a freshly baked pie. Charles was washing up, an apron tied around his waist which made me chuckle - he looked adorable. After shutting the door quietly behind me, I walked over to Charles and wrapped my arms around his waist. He jumped slightly and I chuckled.

"Hey Süßer." I grinned.

"Good afternoon handsome." Charles smiled.

He wrapped one arm around my neck and pulled me into a sweet kiss. One of my hands was holding his waist while the other was holding his hand.

When we broke apart, he rested his head on my chest and grinned.

"Pie?" He asked.

I nodded eagerly causing Charles to chuckle.  I grinned back at him as he pulled away to serve the pie.

I walked over to the sofa and sat down with a small sigh - even though I had only been at work for a few hours I was still exhausted.

Charles walked over to me and nestled himself in my lap before placing the plate of pie in the arm rest with 2 forks. Egarly, I grabbed a fork and shoved a large forkful if pie into my mouth. Moaning with delight, I whispered "this taskes absolutely fenominal."

Charles grinned at me "that's good to know darling." He placed a small forkful of pie into his mouth and chewed it thoughtfully.

I picked up the TV remote and chucked on a film as we continued to eat. It did not take long for us to devour the pie.

"That was wonderful Leibe, thank you so much." I smiled, wrapping my arms around Charles and gently kissing his neck.

Charles shivered slightly - evidently I had kissed a sensitive spot. That made me smirk.

"It was my pleasure Eric, you know how much I love to bake I'd happily bake every day if you asked me to." He grinned, leaving back so that he was resting on my chest.

I looked down at him before gently brining our lips together in a passionate but delicate kiss.
