Jesse is pulling back the covers of the bed when Becky steps out of the bathroom, nightdress on, hair loose down her back.
“Jesse?” She asks in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
Jesse stares at her. “Umm… I’m going to bed?”
She rolls her eyes and huffs a laugh. “Yes, Jess, that is apparent. I was asking why you were going to bed with me?”
“Becks, what are you talking about? I’m here because you’re my wife and our kids are sleeping in the other room.”
“Jesse, honey. I think someone else needs you tonight.”
His face clears as understanding hits. “Yeah, I know. I just didn’t want to leave you alone with the twins.”
She waves a hand, dismissive. “I’ll be fine. Go take care of him. He needs you.”
Jesse presses a quick kiss to her lips. “God, I love you Becky.”
“And I love you. Please take care of your man tonight. We all care about him so much.”
He salutes her as he leaves the attic. “See you tomorrow, Becks. Sleep well.”
She smiles at him and settles under the covers.
“Good night, Jesse.”

Jesse creeps along the hallway silently. Everyone has long gone to bed and he has no desire to wake anyone up. Well, only one person.
He opens the door to Joey’s room gently, trying to stifle any potential creak.
The lights are off but Jesse can see the Joey-sized lump in the bed by the faint light of the moon through the blinds.
He closes and locks the door behind him before stepping over to the bed and crawling in.
He’s pulling back the blankets when Joey stirs.
“Jesse?”
“Yeah, it’s me. I wanted to sleep here tonight, if that’s ok?”
Joey rolls over to face him, though his eyes stay closed.
“What about Becky and the twins?”
“They’re fine. I just wanted to be with you tonight.”
Joey smiles then, and Jesse can’t help but drop a kiss to those upturned lips.
“I love you Joey,” he whispers into the dark. “I love you so damn much and it breaks my heart that you would ever doubt that for a second.”
Joey finally opens his eyes. “Jesse, I know you love me. I also know I’m no one’s first choice, no one’s “serious” choice. I’m only the one they go to for laughs. Nothing else. Nothing real.”
Jesse shakes his head, hair fanning across the pillow. “Joey, our love is as real as anyone else’s. Sure, you make people laugh. And you’re great at it. But that’s not all you do.”
Joey shrugs, sheets bunching up under his shoulders as he does so.
“That’s what you say. But there’s really no evidence to back it up.”
Jesse narrows his eyes at the other man. “God, you’re fucking dumb.”
Joey sputters indignantly. “Jess, wha-“
Jesse kisses him then, forcefully, all tongue and teeth.
He pulls back only when the need to breathe is too great and fixes Joey with a stare.
“Joe, you are the only man who has ever made my heart race. Who’s made me fucking ache for a touch. Who knows exactly how to touch me to fucking blow my mind. Joey, you are passion and fire incarnate and I want to keep loving you for the rest of our lives, as long as you’ll let me, to be able to be close to some of that heat.”
Joey smiles. “Aw, Jess, you always know what to say.” He kisses him again, a lingering sweetness.
The smile turns impish.
He grabs Jesse and flips them, pressing Jesse’s back into the bed and settling on top, pressing bruising kisses to everywhere he can reach.
Before long, Jesse is grabbing at him desperately, fingers pulling at his pajamas.
“Joey, please. I fucking need you.”
“Yeah? What do you need, babe?”
Jesse growls. “You know what. I need you to use me, to ruin me. Make me yours.”
Joey grins at him. “Well, since you asked so nicely”. Jesse slaps at his arm as he reaches out to the nightstand and pulls him against his chest as soon as the lube has been dropped on the bed beside them.
“Fuck me, Joey. I need to feel it.”
They kiss again, feverishly and demanding as they shimmy out of their nightclothes.
Moments later Jesse is lying naked, knees spread and feet planted on the bed.
He fists his cock slowly as Joey slicks his fingers.
“Kiss me, Joey. Kiss me.” He leans up to connect their lips as Joey presses a finger inside him.
Jesse moans into the kiss as Joey preps him— one finger, then two, then three.
He claws at Joeys back. “I’m ready. I’m ready. Just fuck me.”
“Your wish is my command,” Joey says with a smirk as he pulls his fingers out. He coats his own erection liberally with the lube and hovers over Jesse once more.
“I love you too, you know.” He whispers, his eyes never leaving Jesse’s. “You mean the world to me. You always will.”
He pushes inside, then, and Jesse lets out a yell.
“FUCK!”
Joey shushes him with a kiss. “Shhh, we don’t want to wake the whole house, do we?”
Jesse shakes his head, eyes a little wild.
“No, no. You just- fuck- feel so good.”
“I know, darling.” Joey rolls his hips. “You can be a good boy for me and stay quiet, though, right?”
Jesse nods desperately. “Yes, yes, I can be good.” He moans, quieter this time, as Joey thrusts into him again.
“My good boy,” Joey coos, pushing one of Jesse’s knees more to the side. “Remember, you gotta stay quiet.”
He lifts up to settle more firmly between Jesse’s thighs and begins to fuck him earnestly.
Jesse clamps a hand across his own mouth before the scream escapes. Joey can hear him moaning desperately behind his palm, but the sound is muffled enough that he keeps fucking into Jesse with a punishing pace.
“Look at you, staying quiet for me,” he whispers harshly into Jesse’s ear. “Only I can make you feel this good. Only I can fuck you until you scream.”
Jesse nods, eyes wild. Joey grins darkly and bends down to suck a bruise into his shoulder.
“I’m the only one who splits you open like this.” He punctuates his words with harsh bites and sucks to Jesse’s skin.
Jesse moves the hand from his mouth to Joey’s hair, pulling at the blond strands.
“Only you, Joey. Only you can fuck me so deep with your cock. Only you,” he reaches again for a kiss, eyes locked with Joey’s.
The slick slaps of their bodies meeting grow in volume as both men get closer to their peak. Joey punctuates a particularly hard thrust with a bite to Jesse’s lower lip, and Jesse comes between their stomachs with a muffled yell.
Joey lasts just a handful of thrusts later before reaching his own orgasm and collapsing on top of Jesse.
They catch their breath, panting heavily into each other’s mouths, chests heaving, skin sticky with sweat and come.
“I love you, Joe.” Jesse whispers. “You mean the world to me.”
Joey pulls back just far enough to look him in the eyes. “I will love you forever,” he says quietly. “You are so important to me.”
They meet in a gentle kiss.
Joey pulls away first, and Jesse hisses as his cock slips out of him.
Joey soothes him with a kiss and stands to grab the tissues.
“Wait here. I’m gonna grab a washcloth from the bathroom to clean up.”
Joey slips on a robe before leaving the room, leaving Jesse smiling and sated on the bed.
He is so goddamn lucky. He has the best family in the world. The best wife, the best kids. And the best partner he could ask for.
He lies back as Joey returns and cleans them up. He lets himself be bundled into bed, to be held against Joey’s body and cuddled.
Joey may have needed a reminder that he was loved tonight, but one thing was for sure. Jesse would always need his Joey.
