That’s a very sweet thing to say.

(And exactly what Bruce wanted to hear. All of him. All of them. Every bit. It didn’t matter because Ryder loved it.)

(Bruce watched him for a few seconds, as if he was wondering what he was getting himself into, but ultimately obeyed and laid down just as Ryder had asked him to do.)

This what you wanted?

I think you knew that already though.

(Bruce grinned, confident that Ryder already knew.)

Both of us.

(They clarified, still smiling ear to ear. It was sweet, but Ryder was sweet. They shouldn’t have expected anything less.)

I think we definitely should.

//in my prime I could have read a 500 page book in less than 3 days.

Anyways, it’s been nearly a year.

(Bruce returned the kiss, a playful smile already on his face.)

Love you.

(Bruce drew in an eager breath, leg twitching closer to Ryder.)

I think you would know how to make it plenty hot.

(Great. Now he was imagining all sorts of things.)

What a coincidence. I love bein’ spoiled.

(Bruce gasped, instantly grinning at the sight. It was more than he could have asked for. They could have asked for?)

Oh, Ryder… it’s perfect. Really, truly perfect. I love it.

//you just actually used the braincell to make something!

(For once, Bruce stayed there. He didn’t press and he didn’t speak. He just wanted to enjoy being near Ryder for a while.)

Hey! We’re absolutely joys to have around.

I think whatever you do would be cold.

(Bruce grinned, still trying to imagine something possible.)

And sticky, probably.

I like hearin’ that too

//he does it over and over again I bet

You do?

(Even if he wasn’t Carole, Bruce did his best to nonchalantly rush into the bedroom. It didn’t work, of course. He just looked like he was running.)

Happy women’s day or whatever.

I’m a woman sometimes so I have to say it.

//I mean. He did kiss a man while he was there. He was on his home turf.

That’s what I like to hear.

Hmm…

(Bruce tilted his head, as if in thought.)

I’m not sayin’ no. Sounds like it could be interestin’.

That’s why you’re the most perfect husband ever. You can handle more than one of me.

(Bruce smiled into the kiss, practically pressing himself against Ryder.)

I love you. I mean it.

Then we always are! Simple.

//I almost sent that exact meme to you last night!!! I ended up falling asleep though 😅

I love it. It’s absolutely and literally him.

ll I had to @detectivesrgnt.bsky.social

I always wanna be on your page.

I can always use another.

I love you.

(Bruce responded, eagerly smiling in return.)

I promised I would feed you some!

(Not that Bruce was complaining. There was a first time for everything it seemed.)

You can eat me all you want. As soon as I feel like I’ve not eaten a tonne of ice cream.

I think we can both be cute.
