Malcolm honestly wasn’t expecting Will to pick him up, but he was delighted by it and hooked an arm across Will’s shoulders to make it easier.
“When I sent you ahead to check everything was set up okay,” he murmurs into Will’s ear. “I had everything ready. Just had to put it out.”
And when they get inside, Will will see what ‘everything’ means: there are roses on the kitchen island, next to a sweating ice bucket with a champagne bottle sticking out of it and a platter of fruit beside it, there are rose petals scattered across the floor and on the bedspread.
“I asked Edwin to keep the pets until tomorrow afternoon,” he says, grinning against his jaw before placing a kiss there.
It really is funny what things they'd rather do differently than most, and which 'normal' things really struck their hearts.
This is definitely the second, and Will's smile is bright as he leans down for a kiss, even while he's still carrying Malcolm. He feels like he's overflowing with joy. Maybe that's also Malcolm's feelings, but they're one and the same much of the time now.
"Didn't want them to see anything too scandalous, I see. And managed this all behind my back. My husband is so clever." Will kisses Malcolm again, biting his lip as he pulls back.
Malcolm looks absolutely giddy in the wake of that heat and that compliment.
“I have to be, or I’d never be able to surprise my husband,” he replies, reaching up with his free hand to start unknotting Will’s tie as he tilts his head to press kisses along Will’s jaw. “Open the champagne,” he murmurs next to his ear. “I want to celebrate the best day of my life.”
