Perhaps they would go and see her someday. Noah didn’t want to break all ties to the only family he had left. Well, aside from Jace. Aside from the derby team. Aside, presumably, from Jace’s family as well. He’d have to ask about them at some point.
Jace dropped a kiss on his shoulder and then yawned right next to Noah’s ear. Noah couldn’t bring himself to mind. He would have been happy if every day started with Jace yawning in his ear.
“Morning,” Jace mumbled sleepily. “How’s things?”
Noah chuckled. “A miracle occurred while we were asleep,” he said.
“Diego washed his knee pads?”
“No.” Noah laughed at the thought. He was confident that particular miracle was a step too far, and he wouldn’t have believed it even if he saw it. Not that he was much better about his safety equipment, but he did remember to air it out once every few weeks or so. “No, but close. My motherapologizedto me. That has actually never happened before, as far as I remember.”
“I told you I was good with parents.”
“You also told me parents liked you. Although, mom seems to like you now. I guess the trick was to call her on her bullshit.” Noah sighed, then stretched out, wincing at his post-game soreness as he did so.
“Are you okay?”
“Sore,” Noah complained. He was looking forward to a nice hot shower, and the possibility that Jace might join him.
Jace made a sympathetic noise and kissed his shoulder again. “That’s what you get for exercising.”
“I also have a great ass to show for it, though. It’s worth the trade-off.”
Jace hummed, settling his arms around Noah’s waist. “No regrets?”
“None,” Noah said. “Not a single regret. This has all been worth it.”
“Gimme your phone,” Jace said. Noah handed it over without a second thought. He knew that whatever Jace was about to do, it wouldn’t be anything that would hurt him. They were married, and now they were together for real. Jace was on his side.
Jace logged out of Noah’s Facebook account, and then logged back into his own. Noah looked away, not wanting to intrude.
“No, it’s okay. I want you to see this, actually.”
Noah watched as Jace went into settings and changed his relationship status from single to married to Noah Levesque. Jace didn’t use his account often, but this still seemed important. And it would show up for everyone he knew.
He didn’t stop there, either, instead opening a new status update and typing away one-handed.
So for anyone who just saw me update my relationship status, that’s not a joke. I guess this is a coming out, engagement, and wedding announcement post all in one. Sorry to everyone who didn’t get the chance to marry me, but Noah saw me first ;)
Noah chuckled at the update, and waited for Jace to post it before turning around to kiss him. He loved kissing Jace, now that he was allowed to. He couldn’t imagine ever not wanting to.
Jace kissed back eagerly, making soft, happy sounds as he did so. Noah was looking forward to getting used to waking up like this.
“So I take it you want to make this work, and my blowjob technique hasn’t put you off?” Noah grinned at him.
“I definitely want this to work.” Jace cleared his throat, blushing. “And it was really, really hot. I wanna learn to do that for you.”
“There’s no rush.” Noah said, running a finger down Jace’s nose and then brushing it over his lips. The thought that they’d look amazing stretched around his cock occurred to him, but there was no way he was going to push it. He had Jace now, and he wasn’t about to scare him away.
“Brian’s proud of you, by the way. He told me to tell you,” Noah said, having almost forgotten by now.
Jace laughed. “He was so mad at me for taking so long to tell you.”
“You got there eventually,” Noah said. “And now, I’m going to make you breakfast for once.” He pecked Jace on the lips and rolled out of the bed, groaning at the pain of moving so quickly after a game, but determined to treat Jace like the prince he was.
Noah had never expected to be the one to get the boy. That wasn’t usually how his life worked. No one worth settling down with had ever wanted him before.
Jace was perfect, and Noah was looking forward to settling down with him. After they’d had a little fun, of course.
