Septible - Just One More Meal

Bunce was cooking. It smelt good. But…Guy couldn’t stay. He had to go to a business meeting. Geez… He didn’t want to let Bunce down. Not after the last time… Guy sighed gently and shifted on the sofa, leaning forwards to put his forth mug of coffee down. What he wouldn’t do for a beer…

“Bunce…can I talk to you?” He called gently.

There was movement in the kitchen and a clatter before Bunce poked his head from around the kitchen wall.

“Yeah?”

Guy sighed again and licked his lips.

“Bunce…I…I can’t stay for dinner tonight. I…got called into work again earlier but I didn’t want to ruin things…you know…” he mumbled gently.

The look of hurt that spread over Bunce’s face sent a pang of agony through Guy’s chest.

“I…I understand…don’t worry about it…” Bunce mumbled before heading back into the kitchen to tidy up.

Guy sighed gently before going to grab his stuff. He soon came back downstairs and went into the kitchen where Bunce was sat with a plate in his hand. A single carrot lay on his plate. Oh crap… Guy licked his lips before taking Bunce’s hand.

“I’m sorry Bunce. I’ll make it up to ya. Just you wait and see,” Guy told him firmly before kissing him softly and heading off to his meeting.

It was three weeks later when Guy finally got to ‘make it up’ to Bunce. The taller man had been reading when Guy had come home. After a quick embrace and ‘I missed you’ kisses Guy took Bunce’s hand.

“Come with me…” He smiled before leading him outside.

They slid into Guy’s car and headed down into town. The car journey was silent, nothing but the soft sounds of the radio filling the empty space that separated them. Guy eventually stopped outside a pub and padded outside. He got Bunce’s door and the tall man stepped out.

“What’re we doing here, Guy?” Bunce sighed gently.

Guy just shook his head and took him inside.

They had a three course meal of whatever they wanted. Once they were done they spent the night in the bed and breakfast part of the pub. A nice night of smooshy lovie-dovie movies and soft kisses before going to sleep. Guy was even happier when he woke in the middle of the night to find Bunce curled into his side, head on his chest. He’d won his Bunce back. At long last.
