Yes, Francis thinks, he will do nicely. Very, very nicely.
He can't pull out for a moment, enjoying the sensation too much. But when he does it is slow and gentle to lay and then gather Ethan up into his arms. He's a little emotional, actually.
Sleep well, beautiful. It's nearly dawn. Sleep through the day. Francis stays close by, knowing this it's week is vital to bond. He reads and works in bed, only getting up if he really needs to.
Francis looks up from his book and smiles. He holds the page with his finger but closes it's leaves and rolls to scoot down and lay at Ethan's eyelevel. The bed's curtains are still closed. It's like a little cave.
You really did. Jesus. He probably slept like 12 hours.
"I'm usually asleep during the day, work at night. I was kind of afraid I'd
be thrown off since we got married in the evening but it looks like I slept
the whole day away anyway."
He'll nod and get up, slipping out of bed and through the curtains to fetch Ethan something nice and fresh. Delivered at noon, harvested this morning.
"Do you work tonight?" Asking as he comes back. The curtains in his room are all drawn but he's drawn the bed as an extra layer to make Ethan feel safe.

So is he, honestly. Francis feels so good wrapped around him, inside of him.
Ethan wraps his arms around his husband and holds him close, gently, like the treasure he is.

"Yeah," he breathes, spent, sticky, swollen, a hand on Francis and smoothing over his skin. "Yeah, I think we are."
God, it sure looks that way, anyway. And he is tired after all that - the talk, the drink, the sex. He's exhausted and he's gonna pass the fuck out.

There when Ethan wakes up.
no subject
He'll wake up warm and cozy, buried in all those sheets and blankets, though he'll jolt initially when he realizes he isn't home. The fuck--
Oh. Right. He...got married, and he got laid.
Slowly, carefully, he'll peek out from under his nest, eyes falling to rest on his new husband.
Holy shit.
"Um. Good morning." He thinks. The fuck time is it, anywhere.

"Good morning." Warm.
Almost evening but nevermind it.
no subject
It is. It's nice.
"What time is it." How long did he sleep, Jesus.
no subject
"Half past four."
He really zonked you last night.
Is he sorry? Not in the slightest.
"What are your usual hours?"
no subject
You really did. Jesus. He probably slept like 12 hours.

Francis figured Ethan was some degree of nocturnal, as these things go.
"Sunset is at 6:13. Not much longer, now. Breakfast?"
no subject
He is by necessity, yep. He doesn't trust anyone else to run the place like he does, so..
You know. Gotta be done.
"Sure."
no subject
"Do you work tonight?" Asking as he comes back. The curtains in his room are all drawn but he's drawn the bed as an extra layer to make Ethan feel safe.
no subject
"I probably should. My GM will be there and she runs a tight ship, but I wasn't there last night.."
And he frets.

Mm delicious.
“I could.. take the day,” he allows. Make him feel bad, gee.
no subject
"Let's compromise. Go to check in and you can give me a tour before I wisk you away and back into bed with me where you belong."
no subject
That sounds appealing, really.
"Okay," he allows, stretching out, groping to brush his fingers over Francis' skin. "That's a good compromise."
no subject
He sips his tea, enjoying the affection.
"How are you feeling?"
no subject
"...Pretty good, actually," he admits. He feels amazing. Well fucked, married...Just.
Really good.
no subject
At attempt at bonding. Offer a vulnerability.

"Yeah. Seriously," Ethan laughs. "Crazy surreal. And this ring, this is gorgeous. Made me feel like a dick I didn't have anything."
no subject
That shimmering iridescent inlay is something else, isn't it.
"I'm glad you like it. I had it made especially."
no subject
“It’s really gorgeous. I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Holding his hand up to study. It’s beautiful.
“What’s this stone?”
