    Summary

    They speak at length, every single day, in and out. All they do is talk, and not just about their pain and forgiveness. About the work left on the house, about their pasts, about their old life and their hopes for their new life. Stede believes Ed knows him best, inside and out, surely, and he would hope Ed would say the same about him. They revel in conversation, in paid compliments, in laughter, in flirtatious words and necking.

    It simply doesn’t translate to the sex. Sex is quiet and serious and routine. And Stede’s not sure he has any right to be slightly put out about that. And since Stede’s not sure how he should be feeling, he’s not really sure how to put it into words. Ed always makes him so comfortable, makes him feel beautiful and adored, makes him believe in himself. This one little thing shouldn’t be that difficult to discuss.

    --

    Or: Stede is blissfully happy with Ed and their new home. He's just got some simple concerns! About their sex life! No big deal!
