Spencer can feel a flush creeping over his cheeks and neck, not because he's embarrassed--when it comes to his relationship with Joel, he never feels anything less than proud--but because he's pleased by Caleb's apparent appreciation of the story.
Perhaps Caleb is right and one day, they will embellish the story for their children but the beauty of it is that they really wouldn't need to do such a thing. Their entire relationship has been unique from the start, and Spencer wouldn't have had it any other way. The day he'd fallen in love with this man who'd saved him from a Hydra had been one of the very best days of his life.
"A very handsome stalker," Spencer corrects, grinning at his husband, "who gave me an entirely new appreciation for being in our home library." Not to mention a new appreciation for whiskey, though Spencer thinks now that he might have even as affected by being in such close proximity to Joel than he was by the alcohol.
Turning back to Caleb, he lets out a sheepish laugh. "Sorry, we're over here reminiscing like a pair of lovesick fools and keeping you in a limbo over whether or not you have a job. We're not making the best professional impression, are we?"
