Late Work - Flower Husbands

I'm sorry that this is ending up mostly Flower Husbands, I promise I have other ideas in mind, but they're taking a bit longer to flesh out >^<"

Until I can finish at least one though, here is a cute, modern, and kind of angsty Flower Husbands oneshot :3

Tw: A little bit of cursing.

Scott nursed his after-dinner mug of coffee in the living room, taking small sips and occasionally casting glances at the door. Eventually, he sighed, put down his mug, stood, and settled his hands on his hips. "What is taking him so long?"

Jimmy typed away at his computer, his tongue poking out of his mouth in concentration. He'd been working on this project for months, and he was so close to being finished. If he worked for a couple more hours, he might be able to get it all wrapped up that night. A sudden knock at the door caused him to lose his train of thought and Jimmy sighed. 

"Come in." He called, and the door opened, a familiar cyanette peeking into the office room. "Hey babe." He said, walking in and looping his arms around Jimmy's neck. The dirty blonde sighed again, more fondly, and leaned back against his lover's chest. "Hi." He answered, allowing himself a moment to simply be with Scott. "When will you be done for today?" The cyanette asked softly, resting his chin on Jimmy's head. The dirty blonde sighed for a third time, reminded of his work, and thus, his looming deadline. "I don't know, petal. It might be a while." He said, soft with reluctance. 

Scott nodded, disappointed, but unsurprised. It had been the same answer for a while, which the cyanette had learned to mean I'll work until I pass out. So he gave the same response, one that didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon. "Don't forget to take a break, love." Scott reminded, then took up the empty dinner plate on the desk and left. Jimmy watched him go, torn between finishing work or dropping it and following Scott. Undecided, he reached for his mug to take a sip and found it empty. Jimmy frowned, as he didn't think he'd had enough time to drink it all. Then he looked toward the clock, and his eyes blew wide open. "Shit."

Scott nursed his coffee and sighed, absentmindedly watching the water droplets trickling down the window panes. It was by looking at the window that he saw the reflection, coming up behind him. He had plenty of time to turn around, but he didn't. Scott waited to see what his partner would do. Two familiar arms snaked around his waist, loosely holding the cyanette in a gentle embrace. 

Scott settled his free hand over both of Jimmy's, keeping his gaze on the man's reflection in the window. "Weren't you in the middle of something, love?" He asked, well aware of the time that had passed. Asking only to see if Jimmy was aware as well, aware that he'd spent hours upon hours upon hours behind that desk, in that chair, typing on that computer. Jimmy caught the hidden question and request. Are you going to leave again? Please don't go. 

"It can wait." Jimmy murmured, nuzzling into Scott's neck. The cyanette leaned back into his partner's embrace. "We need to figure out how to keep you from spending all your time in the office." He said, the simple statement speaking volumes in gentle admonishment, tired loneliness, and tender forgiveness. Jimmy nodded firmly, tightening his arms around Scott's waist. "I'm sorry, petal." He murmured quietly. Scott smiled, and a tiny ball of pain somewhere in his chest started to uncoil. "I forgive you. We can figure everything out in the morning, but for right now, you need sleep. Let's go to bed."

Is the ending okay? I wasn't sure how to end it.

That's all for today :3

Love ya
