May 7th, sometime in the morning.
"Where are we supposed to get our money from?" Adam asks as he watches his fiancé cook breakfast.
"Oh, Adam," he says, "I have lived a long time. I have bank accounts and stocks all over the world. We could live in Boca." Adam laughs.
"Really?"
"Duh," his fiancé says. Adam smiles and leans over the counter, kissing him. Tommy licks his lips, the taste lingering.
"Cool… so what's on today's agenda?" Adam asks as his love hands him a plate of their usual—some sort of concoction with bone marrow in it.
"I do not know, love…"
"What's wrong, Tommy?" Adam questions, touching his cheek.
"Nothing… I was just thinking of the other day with Nicky and Casey…" he whispers, fiddling with his sparkling new wedding ring and smiling slightly. Adam takes his hand.
"Yeah…" Adam recalls. "That was some freaky shit…" Tommy laughs, remembering the sights he and Adam saw…
As I open the door quietly, Tommy steps in behind me. Casey and Dominic are too wrapped up in the presence of one another to notice us. We stand in the doorway, arms crossed, and the boys completely oblivious.
"This moment is so perfect, Nicky," Casey says. Dominic smiles and touches Casey's chest, straining his body for a kiss. He winces into the kiss unusually and moves away, startled. He looks at his arms like they're robotic, then, he looks to Casey, who's doing the same. Dominic opens his mouth for a second to speak, but suddenly he changes.
Tommy looks to me, frightened, his mouth open wide.
"Who are you?" Dominic asks the boy beside him. I raise a brow.
"Casey Cocksinen… Who are you?" the boy asks.
"Dominic Glambert…" The two boys stare at one another cautiously, sitting beside each other calmly.
"How could this have happened?" Tommy frets. I shrug.
"They're… kids?" I question. "They're six years old again!"
"This is fucking insane!" Tommy screams. His eyes widen. "Leila…" he whispers. My eyes widen as we scramble out of the room to enter Leila's.
Tommy opens the door slowly, peeking around the corner. He straightens up and relaxes. I step into the room and see Leila sleeping quietly in her bed. Just like Casey and Dominic, she's a six year old child again. I sigh and walk over to her, kissing her cheek. Tommy does the same and follows me back to Dominic's room. He and Casey are calmly talking about how tired they are.
"C'mon, Casey," Tommy says, picking him up and balancing him on his hip. Casey yawns adorably. "There is a room for you down the hall."
Tommy takes Casey to his room while I tuck Dominic in, putting clothes on him that actually fit. He yawns heavily, and I pull the covers up to his neck. He smiles. I kiss his nose, and he giggles.
"It's nice to know you actually like me now," I whisper.
"Why wouldn't I like you?" he asks. I smile.
"No reason… Go to sleep, Nicky. I love you."
"I love you, too, Daddy…"
My eyes start to water, and I smile. I close the door behind me and turn to see Tommy directly behind me. He spins me around and slams me into the wall roughly, knocking down a light fixture and cracking the wall. The glass from the light fixture shatters beside us, just barely missing our feet. I gasp, startled.
"Tommy! Don't do that! I don't want to wake them up!" I whisper loudly. He chuckles.
"Do not worry, babe. Come with me…" He pulls me to the bedroom quickly. I giggle, using glitter to unclothe myself. Tommy is even quicker than me, already waiting in bed. I pounce on him playfully, biting and kissing his neck. He moans, letting me feel the vibration of his voice through his throat.
I run my hands along his chest slowly, kissing all around his neck and shoulders. He shudders gently and speaks gently.
"Adam… I do not want to go slowly this time…" Tommy pants.
"Good, Glitterbaby, cause I wasn't going to…" I say, shoving myself inside of him, of course, with an excessive amount of lube. I work quickly and roughly, kissing him sweetly and passionately. He whimpers and moans in my arms.
"How long?" he whispers.
"Who gives a fuck? I love you."
"So, what's the matter?" Adam asks. Tommy shrugs.
"Do you think they will stay children forever?" he questions.
"I don't think so," Adam replies. "I think they changed for when we went to Mercury. Their bodies knew their purpose was to be stronger."
"What a strange magic… Well, at least we know what they will look like when they are older." Adam nods and laughs.
"That's gonna be a while from now," Adam says, shaking his head.
"Well, we should get them something expensive for their birthdays. Especially since Leila's is tomorrow…" Tommy whispers.
"Yeah, I know… Casey's is twenty-six days after, and Nicky's is thirty-eight days after that."
"Poor Nick…" Tommy laughs. "He's the baby…" Just as Tommy says this, Dominic walks sleepily into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes. Adam smiles and picks him up, balancing him on his hip.
"He is! He my baby boy…" Adam marvels, playing with his son's hair.
"And you are mine…" Tommy smirks, leaning upward for a kiss. Dominic yawns, and Adam and Tommy laugh.
"I'm hungry," Dominic says, his eyes still droopy. Adam smiles and kisses his cheek lightly.
"I'll make you something, and then you can go brush your teeth and get in the shower so we can go shopping," Adam says, walking to the couch and tossing Dominic onto the cushion. Dominic giggles.
As Adam cooks, Tommy walks to the end of the hallway into Casey's room. He's just woken up.
"C'mon Case. Come get breakfast." Casey nods and holds his arms out. Tommy sighs and smirks, picking the boy up and setting him on his hip. He carries Casey into the living room and sets him down. Casey runs straight to Dominic. Tommy turns and walks to the kitchen with Adam. Casey climbs onto the couch beside Dominic, scooting close to him and smiling.
Dominic hesitates a moment before scooting away from Casey, but Casey scoots back toward him again. Dominic moves away again, and Casey moves, too. Dominic sighs quietly and jumps off of the couch.
Casey rolls his eyes and hops off of the couch as well, parking himself next to Dominic. Dominic huffs.
"Why are you always right there?!" Dominic shouts. Casey raises a little brow and rolls his eyes again.
"Leila's asleep," he replies, "and you're cool. Why not?"
"It's freaky!"
"How?"
"Cause you're always all over me," Dominic complains.
"I'm not touching you, Nick."
"Shut the hell up, man," Dominic says calmly, looking at the kitchen door in hopes that one of his dads would walk through the door and save him from having to talk to Casey any more.
"What's up with you?" Casey asks. "You're suddenly so pissy. Are you on your man cycle or something?"
"Casey!" Dominic whispers loudly. Casey bursts into laughter, rolling onto his side in humor.
"You're so immature."
"You're such an ass. Lighten up!"
"I'd rather die," Dominic mumbles. Adam bursts through the kitchen door violently, his eyes glimmering with tears.
"Don't you dare say that!" he yells. Casey and Dominic jump, startled.
"Sorry…" Dominic whispers. Adam sighs deeply, going back into the kitchen and bringing Dominic's and Casey's food back into the living room. He hands it to them, sitting above them on the couch. Tommy flops down beside him, sharing a smoothie with his fiancé.
"I love you," he says, smiling. Adam smiles back and holds onto Tommy's chin, pulling him forward for a series of small kisses. He laughs into the kisses, tugging at Adam's shirt.
'Tommy… Down kitty…'
Tommy bursts into laughter, letting Adam's shirt go and sitting back upright on the couch. He leans over to play with Dominic's hair gently, running his fingers through it over and over.
"You guys love my hair, huh?" Dominic asks. Adam and Tommy chuckle and nod. Dominic smiles and leans against the couch, loving the feeling of someone messing with his hair.
"So, you guys, what do you think Leila might want for her birthday?" Tommy asks. Casey and Dominic pause, not quite sure. Casey speaks.
"Maybe she would want something with lots of glitter…"
"OH! OH! And purple!" Dominic pipes in.
"Lower your voice!" Adam whispers loudly.
"Whatever," Casey whispers. "Let's go!"
Tommy checks on Leila, who's sleeping soundly. He sprinkles a little glitter on her to keep her asleep for a while longer, and then he locks the house, glittering it as well to where no one but he or Adam could possibly get through. They all climb into the car and buckle up, heading to multiple stores.
