The front door banged shut with a rattle, jolting Callum from his nap on the couch, a familiar footfall dashing up the stairs.
He heard Ben before he saw him, breathlessly calling out to him "Babe?!"
"In here, Ben." He sat up, working out a crick in his neck as Ben shot into the room, eyes bright with mischief, grin beaming.
"There you are!"
Callum narrowed his eyes, his Ben-specific spidey sense kicking in.
"What's going on? You're up to something."
Ben grinned impossibily wider and launched himself onto the couch, throwing a leg over Callum’s lap.
"I am," he held up a hand to stop his husband's question. "It's for Mum though, it's a good something."
"Alright, what do you need?"
"Can you put your copper suit on and come scare off Rocky's ex wife?"
"What?! No, Ben."
"Please, she's blackmailing Rocky and it's turns out he's a flipping bigamist-"
Callum covered his ears with his hands.
"Ben! Don't... you can't tell me that, I don't want to be arresting Rocky on my day off. I've just bought a new game, and I was going to order a curry!"
Ben gently pulled his hands off of his ears.
"I was joking, wasn't I? Big jokes. No crimes here. Promise."
There was a conflicted look on Callum’s face that Ben swooped down to kiss away.
He stroked at the little furrow between his perfect eyebrows until the tension eased.
"No crime?"
"Nope." Ben popped the p, eyes twinkling. "Not a single one."
"Okay." They melted into each other briefly, until Ben pulled away.
"Can I borrow your badge for no reason?"
Callum sighed, defeated. "...Don't lose it. Its over-"
"I know where it is! Love you! Oh, and i just really quickly need to get changed" He was up and off, calling out from the hallway.
"Dont worry, this was all a dream, gorgeous, you're still napping, and I'm still at my muuuums" he crooned in a sing song voice.
Callum shook his head, fired up the xbox and resolutely ignored his husband as he affectionately rued the day he married a bloody Mitchell.
