Summary:

Alex is seized with the urge to trace the planes of Henry’s face, touch a thumb to the dip in his full lower lip. He doesn’t want to wake him, though, so instead, he carefully pulls back the covers.

Then he freezes, because Henry’s naked. Henry only forgoes pajamas for a few very specific reasons—being too exhausted after sex, for one, and when he wants Alex to fuck him in his sleep, for two.

Alex swallows.

Writing a somno fic for your wife-to-be isn’t gay. I would know.

Work Text:

It’s close to midnight when Alex finally gets home to Henry. 

Relief washes over Alex as soon as he steps through the brownstone’s front door, and he feels more settled than he has since leaving New York a few days ago. Quietly, he heads up the stairs to the bedroom. In a corner of the room, David’s curled up in his dog bed. The sleepy canine lifts his head, wags his tail, and accepts Alex’s kiss on the snout before going back to sleep.

Alex turns to the breathtakingly beautiful man who’s fast asleep on one side of their king-sized bed. Henry always leaves the left side of the bed empty for Alex, and it makes Alex’s heart ache. As silently as possible, Alex strips down to his boxers before climbing into bed next to Henry. Henry’s sleeping on his stomach, his head turned towards Alex, and Alex is seized with the urge to trace the planes of his face, touch a thumb to the dip in his full lower lip. He doesn’t want to wake him, though, so instead, he carefully pulls back the covers.

Then he freezes, because Henry’s naked. Henry usually sleeps in pajamas, and he only forgoes them for a few very specific reasons—being too exhausted after sex, for one, and when he wants Alex to fuck him in his sleep, for two.

Alex swallows.

It’s been a while since they’ve done this, and Alex’s arousal ramps up swiftly. He rids himself of his boxers, grabs the lube off the nightstand, and tugs the covers off Henry completely. He lets his gaze rove greedily over Henry’s bare skin. He wants to kiss every inch of it, but Henry always hopes to stay asleep until Alex is inside him. It hasn’t happened often, but that doesn’t make Alex any less determined every time.

Alex moves closer and stares appreciatively at Henry’s round, firm ass. He gently spreads Henry’s cheeks and sucks in a breath when the flared base of Henry’s favorite plug is revealed. Slowly, Alex eases the plug out, glancing up at Henry’s face in the darkness to make sure he’s still asleep. Henry lets out a soft sigh, but other than that, his breathing remains steady and his eyes stay closed.

Setting the plug down, Alex quietly opens the bottle of lube and slicks up his already-hard cock. He’s so eager that just the barest pressure of his fingers has him biting his lip hard. He holds one of Henry’s cheeks to the side and stares down at where Henry’s wet and open, stroking his cock almost desperately. He could get off like this, with his cock in his fist and the visual of Henry’s wanting hole in front of him. But Henry wants Alex inside him, and Alex isn’t going to deny him that.

So, Alex shuffles closer and brackets Henry’s thighs with his own. When Henry doesn’t stir, Alex pries his cheeks open again. He presses forward until the head of his cock catches on Henry’s rim; then, with an exhale, he starts to push inside.

Henry’s hot and tight and wet, and Alex’s eyes almost roll back in his head. He’ll never get tired of this, of how good it feels to share Henry’s body, that Henry wants him like this and trusts Alex to make it good for him even when he’s fast asleep.

Usually, Henry’s awake by this point, but tonight he just shifts a little and mumbles something before stilling again with a soft snore. Alex brings his gaze back down to where they’re connected. With slow, sure rolls of his hips, he manages to get balls deep without Henry waking up.

Letting his grip tighten on Henry’s ass, Alex draws his hips back then thrusts back in. This time, Henry lets out a soft moan, his hole clenching around Alex reflexively.

“Alex?” Henry slurs, his eyes blinking open and one hand reaching back.

“Yeah, baby,” Alex whispers, taking Henry’s hand and squeezing his fingers. “You’re being so perfect for me.”

“Feels so good,” Henry mumbles, rocking his hips back with another small moan. “Missed you.”

“I missed you so much,” Alex tells him. “Missed your perfect hole.”

“Made for you,” Henry says sleepily.

“Made for me,” Alex agrees with a smile. Henry never says stuff like that when he’s fully awake. He likes to argue and tease, and he rarely gives himself over completely. Alex loves Henry in every form, but this sweet, submissive version of Henry has an extra special place in Alex’s heart.

“Unnnf,” Henry groans into the pillow. “Might come.”

“Go for it,” Alex urges, his thrusts speeding up and growing rougher. He grips Henry’s hips and pulls his ass up, the change in angle making them both moan.

The repeated slap of Alex’s hips against Henry’s ass and the wet sounds of him driving into Henry’s hole echo through the room. The noises spilling from Henry’s lips grow breathier and more urgent, rising in volume, and Alex reaches around to stroke Henry’s cock viciously.

“Alex,” Henry gasps. “Oh, God, Alex, please, please—”

Henry comes with a loud moan, shaking apart as Alex watches with something close to reverence. Alex fucks him through his orgasm, telling him how beautiful he is, how perfect, and as Henry’s hole pulses helplessly around Alex’s cock, Alex falls apart, too.

It’s long minutes later when Alex finally pulls out, falling onto the bed and hauling Henry close to him. He kisses Henry’s temple and cheek and lips, and Henry grabs Alex’s jaw and kisses him so ferociously that Alex thinks he might never need to breathe again.

Later, Alex cleans Henry up thoroughly with his tongue, reducing him to whimpers and moans before pressing into him again and bringing him over the edge for a second time without ever touching his cock. By the time they collapse on top of each other, they’re both exhausted and giddy with happiness.

“Thank you,” Henry says. “That was exactly what I needed.”

“Me too,” Alex says, kissing the center of Henry’s palm.

Henry wiggles closer and tucks his face into Alex’s neck. “Tomorrow morning, I’m waking you up with my mouth.”

With a smile, Alex wraps his arms around Henry and lets his eyelids drift shut. He’s never been so excited to go to sleep.
