Cherreads

Chapter 5 - Pride Month Special

Joseph woke up to the sound of pots and dishes in the kitchen. Jeeze, does he have to do this so early… He dragged himself out of their bed. He threw on some underwear because those appeared to…not be present after the previous events that took place in the night.

He waddled into the kitchen, still drowsy and tired. Until Caesar turned around and saw him. Man, Joseph will never get sick of seeing his boyfriend's smile every day. "Finally up, huh?" Caesar teased him. Today, he was making french toast, eggs, and bacon.

"Mmm, after last night I could sleep forever. Gosh, I've never been so exhausted in my life…" Joseph said into Caesar's ear as he hugged him from behind. "But I can't possibly sleep forever."

"And why is that?"

"Because then I would never see your lovely self again."

Caesar laughed from the corniness that was in the air. Joseph smacked his shoulder. "That was good, was it not?!"

"Whatever you say."

"Enough of this sassiness."

They sat down at their little dining table. Joseph had never regretted moving to a nice quiet town with Caesar. The only downside was that it was a little too quiet. Sometimes Joseph worried if the neighbors could hear Caesar absolutely demolishing his ass every other Friday night. But other than that, they were living their best lives.

"I tried a different recipe," Caesar said as he cut his french toast, "Tell me how it tastes."

Caesar was like that. He is an absolute geek when it comes to cooking and baking. Every single meal he makes has to be slightly different than the last. And of course, since Joseph believes that all food is pretty much good, he says that it's fine each time. It drives Caesar crazy.

"It's fine," Joseph said, with a mouthful of french toast, "Delicious, as usual-"

"Ugh, Joseph," Caesar groaned, "The same answer every time! Please, something different for once!"

"Okay, well then it's scrumptious."

"I'm gonna let you starve."

-

Shopping. A normal task for most people. Except for Caesar and Joseph. They said that they were going to come to the store for gummy vitamins, simply because Joseph can't swallow pills.

"Okay, the gummies are just over here-" Caesar said as Joseph walked by his side, "Ooh, this looks nice. Take a look at this lavender scented body wash. How would you like it if I smelt like lavender?"

"Sleepy." Joseph replied, "But why get a bottle of just shampoo? There is literally a 3 in 1 bottle right there. So convenient!"

"Absolutely not." Caesar said as he grabbed Joseph's arm, "Does that stuff even work? How does a shampoo also work as a conditioner and a body wash?"

"...they mix it."

Caesar sighed and dragged Joseph out of the aisle. That is when everything goes off track. Each and every shopping trip. They come for an item or two at first. Then Caesar notices something cool, Cat themed utensils!. So he shows Joseph. Joseph always has something to go against it. So Caesar gives up and completely forgets about what they came for and they begin to wander around and pick up things they don't need.

In the end, they had bought the most bizarre mixes of items. Except for the gummy vitamins.

-

The evening. Their favorite time of the day.

"Joseph, I'm gonna shower!" Caesar yells from the bathroom.

Caesar takes the world's longest showers. Joseph hates it. Sure, Caesar ends up smelling nice, but that means that Joseph never has time to shower as well. So today, he came up with the brilliant idea to join Caesar in the shower.

He quietly entered the bathroom without Caesar noticing. He stripped his clothing and hopped in the shower as Caesar turned around. Joseph smirked to himself. He's literally gonna skin me alive. But he continued to do it anyway.

SMACK!

Caesar yelped and turned around to see who just smacked his ass. Joseph began to laugh until Caesar slapped him in the face. "Ow! Babe, why'd you hit me?" Joseph winced.

"You slapped my ass! I thought you were a stranger!"

Joseph began cackling. Caesar began to waterboard him.

-

Finally, in bed. Joseph's nostrils hurt from inhaling water, but he didn't mind. Caesar climbed into bed, fixing the pillows the way he liked them. Joseph continued to jump onto Caesar, destroying his ribs and his nest of pillows.

Caesar scoffed but let Joseph lay on his chest. "You dork."

"I'm the dork?"

"Mhm…" Caesar mumbled, closing his eyes and stroking JoJo's hair.

"Mmm…I love you too."

Caesar opened his eyes so he could give Joseph a kiss. It was supposed to be just a simple kiss and a goodnight. But the kiss turned into grabbing his hair, running his hands down Joseph's back, taking off their clothing…you can imagine the rest because I'm not writing smut.

But even though they can't ever have a moment of peace in their lives, they like it that way. They'd rather live unique, happy, and chaotic lives than sad, beige, and boring lives. And unique it certainly is. Not even unique, maybe a bit bizarre.
