Re: December 28th, morning

Will chuckles at the thought of Malcolm sneaking past him the past couple of days to work on this. He squeezes his husband close.

"I knew you were distracted, but I just assumed it was something at work. I never would've guessed it was this. Were people dropping off furniture right up until we arrived?" he asks, sounding impressed.

“Until yesterday,” Malcolm tells him. “I didn’t want to risk anyone showing up once you were here. You should always be able to relax here. You should always feel free to relax here.”

He turns towards Will so he can slide his arms up around his neck and gaze up at his face. “It’s the kind of protection you need.” He gives him a gentle kiss. “Protection of your peace.”

Will puts his arms around Malcolm's waist as Malcolm reaches up for his neck. It's so automatic at this point, they move like clockwork together. One would think they've been married for far longer.

"You know me so well," Will says. "Thank you."

Will kisses him again, a gentle basking in this feeling of contentment. Of peace, as Malcolm put so well.

And then he intentionally breaks it, smirking slightly. "You know you can't show yourself up from this point on, right? Hard to top literal property as a gift." His eyes sparkle with playful mischief.

He grins.

“I didn’t think I’d peak so soon,” he teases. “Well, challenge accepted,” he promises with a laugh. He glances around thoughtfully before looking up at Will again. “We still have to fill the cupboards and the freezer and the fridge. …Buy clothes to put in the closet so it doesn’t feel like a holiday rental. Get toys for the dogs. Get fishing tackle for this kind of river. …Take your new boat out to make sure everything is working. You know. Lots to do,” he jokes.
