"oh, gosh. i never thought we'd be going on a second honeymoon," tyler said as he looked around the beautiful streets of london.

"honestly, i didn't either. but here we are," josh smiled, squeezing his husband's hand.

"i love you so much," tyler said, standing on his toes and kissing his husband's cheek.

"i love you more, baby," josh said, kissing his husband's lips.

"what should we do first?" tyler asked, squeezing his husband's hand.

"go to the hotel and snuggle," josh giggled.

after all, it was raining.

there wasn't much else to do.

tyler giggled and nodded, following his husband into a taxi.

josh sat in the back right seat while tyler sat in the middle, not wanting to be too far away from his husband.

"how long have you two been together?" the driver asked.

"oh, gosh. i guess... 14 and a half years now?" josh said, looking at his husband.

"that's a long time," tyler giggled.

josh smiled and kissed his husband's hand. "well i hope you've liked it, cause i have plans for eternity."

tyler smiled and blushed, kissing josh's lips. "oh, you know i've loved it."

the driver just smiled at how in love the two were, continuing to ask them questions.

"what's your favorite memory with one another?"

tyler smiled and shrugged. "i really don't know. there're so, so many."

***

they arrived at the hotel and ended up just staying there all day, and soon enough, it was 11 pm.

"j-josh?" tyler asked quietly as he stood in the doorway of the bathroom where his husband was cleaning his teeth.

"yeah, baby?"

"i-i wanna do it."

"you what?!"

"i-i wanna do it, josh. i wanna finally face my fear and prove to you i can do it a-and i wanna make you feel good and loved a-and i wanna finally give you what you've been wanting for so long," tyler said. "i wanna have passionate sex, josh. i don't want it to be emotionless or just routine. a-and i think we should do it tonight. o-on our second honeymoon."

josh was almost in tears.

he ran up to his husband and swooped him up, spinning around with him in his arms. "oh my gosh, baby. ok, ok. w-we'll do it. you're positive you wanna do it?"

tyler quickly nodded his head, his forehead pressed against josh's. "y-yes, joshua. a million times over again, yes. let me finally give you what you've been wanting and what i guess... i've been wanting. i didn't realize it, but i do, josh. i really, really wanna do this. i need this. i need to show you i can do it and that i love you in a way other than words and kissing. please, josh. please. let's do it."

josh immediately nodded, half-crying as he laid his husband down on the bed, removing both their clothes until they were left naked in front of one another.

"immediately tell me if you need absolutely anything at all," josh said, tyler nodding.

both boys were still crying.

they were emotional wrecks. over a year and a half of bottled up emotion was spilling out.

this was the moment they had both been waiting for.

"gosh, i love you," they both said in unison, josh leaning down and pressing a kiss against his lips.

he pushed in, and they were doing it.

they were really doing it.

"you're so perfect, baby. oh, gosh, you're so, so perfect," josh said as he thrusted in and out, gently rubbing tyler's sides. "so incredible and amazing. i couldn't ask for anyone better to spend the rest of my life with."

they had both always been incredibly vocal during sex.

though, this time, tyler tried to speak, but he couldn't. the mix of the pleasure and the strain on his vocal chords making it almost impossible. "l-love you," he got out.

josh smiled and kissed tyler's forehead, continuing to thrust. "shhh, baby. i'll talk. it's ok."

tyler nodded thankfully, grabbing both josh's hands and intertwining their fingers.

it was passionate sex.

just like tyler had asked for.

"you have no idea how much i love you, tyler," he panted, his thrusts getting sloppier.

then, tyler squeezed his hands twice.

that had always been their sign that he was close.

and fairly soon, both boys came at the same time, josh remaining on top of him and continuing to hold his hands.

then, they both bursted into sobs.

they held each other tightly, crying into the other's shoulder.

"t-tyler... t-that m-meant s-so much t-to me," josh sniffled, gently rubbing up and down his husband's back. "y-you have no idea h-how grateful i am for that. that's all i'll ever need, baby. just this one time. i'm set for life now."

tyler sniffled and pulled back, gently cupping josh's cheek. "t-there's no way we're only doing that once."

josh laughed and sniffled, kissing his husband's lips deeply. "i love you, tyler. t-thank you s-so, so much for that."

tyler blushed and smiled as he sniffled as well, playing with josh's hair distractedly. "i-i love you s-so, so much, joshua. p-please, d-don't ever stop doing the same."

"i won't, baby."

"promise?"

"promise."
