"I'm gonna go get us some snacks," Josh said with a wide smile, kissing Tyler's lips. "I'll be back in a few minutes, yeah?"

"O-ok," Tyler said, kissing him back with a fake smile, nodding his head.

"I love you," Josh grinned.

"I-I love you too," Tyler said honestly.

As soon as Josh left, he went to the bathroom and began sobbing.

Due to his condition, he wouldn't be able to have sex.

Or, he could, but he would be in excruciating pain.

Josh knew about the condition, but Tyler had never told him about the whole sex part. And he had been so excited to finally get to make love with Joshua, but he wouldn't be able to. And he didn't know how to tell Josh.

He loved his new husband with all his heart. But, They'd been married for less than 24 hours and Tyler already felt like a disappointment.

He didn't hear Josh come back to the luxurious cabin they were staying in for their honeymoon.

"Baby?" Josh asked from outside the bathroom. "Baby, what's wrong??"

He came inside, seeing Tyler sitting on the counter and crying.

"Oh, honey," he said, hugging Tyler tightly. "What's wrong?"

"I-I c-can't h-have sex, Josh," Tyler confessed. "I-I've been trying t-to think of how t-to tell you b-but I couldn't a-and now you know a-and I'm so s-sorry," he sobbed.

"Baby..." Josh said. "I knew you couldn't have sex."

"Y-you did?"

"Yeah," Josh said, rubbing his sides softly.

"E-even b-before w-we go married?" Tyler sniffled.

"Before I proposed," Josh answered. "Honey, it doesn't bother me that you can't have sex. Not at all. That's not at all why I married you. I married you because I love you and you love me. You make me so happy, Tyler. Oh my god, you make me so happy. I was literally throwing stuff into the basket at the store so I could get back to you and just hug you and kiss you and love on you. You make me feel so strong and smart and confident and worthy. I love you so much, and you're so much more than just sex to me."

Tyler just sat there and sniffled, holding both Josh's hands for security.

"I know that sex sounds like... like an amazing thing that we'd be doing the whole time we were on our honeymoon," Josh said. "But I think snuggles and kisses and actually, you know, talking is so much better and way more fun. A lot of my friends have said they regret having sex all the time on their honeymoon because they missed out on their honeymoon phase emotionally. They didn't actually say they loved each other and talk and snuggle and hold hands and experience new stuff. The only first they shared while on their honeymoon was sex. But there's so much more I wanna do with you, baby."

Tyler sniffled and wiped his eyes, Josh's arms around his waist as he looked at him.

"You're my everything, Tyler. My moon and my stars. And you being my husband makes me the happiest guy in the world. I don't care if we can't have sex. I promise you, I really don't. But what I do care about is getting to make connections with you. Because we already have that physical connection just from how much we snuggle and kiss. And we have some emotional connection, sure. But what I think honeymoons are really about, is making and building that emotional connection."

Tyler looked at Josh, his husband looking back at him.

"We're married now, Tyler," he said with a soft smile. "We're stuck with each other forever now. Nothing's off limits anymore. We can say and do whatever we want. Like I can finally tell you that I was actually planning on proposing a different day, but I got so nervous I peed my pants before I left the house so I told you I was sick and couldn't go on our date. And then you were too sweet to let me be 'sick' home alone, so you came over and took care of me and I had to fake a cough and lie about my temperature all night long."

"Y-you peed your pants because you were nervous?" Tyler asked with the smallest giggle.

"A mixture of nerves and excitement, yes," Josh grinned, kissing his lips. "Now tell me your deepest, darkest secret."

"Sometimes I use your razor because I'm too lazy to get out of the shower and get mine," Tyler giggled.

"Are you kidding me?!" Josh exclaimed with a laugh. "I literally peed my pants at age 28 because I was nervous, and you just sometimes use my razor?! That's your darkest secret?!"

Tyler giggled and shrugged, hugging Josh's neck tightly.

Josh smiled and hugged him back tightly. "You're lucky I'm in love with you, Tyler Dun. Otherwise I wouldn't accept that as an answer."
