Later

"Uh-oh." Randy said when he saw his mom walking, well dancing, over with a drink in each hand

"I've got drinks!" She said handing them out

"Mom's got drinks."

"Aw," The woman cooed as she wrapped her arms around one of John's large ones. "Johnny called me mom."

"You've gone and made her blush Sheena." John smiled and poked one of his dimples with a finger

"Shit this is strong." He said after taking a drink

"But they're so good. Drink up!" And then she waltz away

"My mom is head over heels in like with you."

"It's my dimples I'm sure."

"And that smile you do where you don't show your teeth and you look coy...that shit really gets you in the feels." John laughed

"Oh you like that one?"

"It's pretty cute."

"Pretty cute?" John asked kissing the other man

"Yea and that's being generous."

"We'll see how much shit you're talkin when I'm gettin all in them,"

"Sorry about earlier." Cody said popping up

"What are you even talking about right now Cody?"

"With my mom and stuff. She didn't know that John could speak Spanish and,"

"And that's why you shouldn't talk about people...in English, Spanish or otherwise."

"Stop – I apologized so I don't need the lecture."

"Holy shit." John said

"That was rude Cody."

"Let's not get started on what's rude and what's not."

"What does that mean?"

"Do we really need to get into that Randy? I mean John is standing right here."

"Oh. My. God. Are you still on that shit?"

"But I had him first. I fucked John before you even knew him Randy!"

"Whoa." John said. Everyone milling around the backyard stopped what they were doing and looked at the three men standing near the pool

"What uncouth behavior."

"You would," Before Cody could finish his statement Randy reached out and slapped him hard across the mouth. John swore he heard the man's teeth clink together

"Randy." He said calmly

"I'm sick of his ass."

"I know."

"Ugh!" Cody finally said. "You stupid idiot!" The smaller man lunged forward but was grabbed by John who saw Cody's attack coming a mile away

"¡Fuera de mi hijo de puta!" Cody's mom screamed as she ran over to John

"What the hell?!" John yelled after being hit

"Don't touch him." Randy grabbed his mom who was clearly headed for Cody's mom. His dad came over along with his brother and they held their wives back

"I'm gonna fuck you up." Randy said pointing at Cody. "This is a beating years in the making." John happily let Cody go and hoped Randy really did beat the hell out of the other man

"You're not beating anyone Randy."

"Yes I am pop...even if I don't do it here I'll do it."

"What is this all about?"

"Randy stole John from me!" Cody yelled and kicked the tall man in the shin

"Fuck!" Randy screamed. As he bent down to rub his leg the younger man knocked him to the ground and jumped on top of him. John was torn. He could either pull Cody off or let Randy get the upper hand. He chose to wait it out and sure enough Randy managed to flip over and when he did he punched his cousin square in the face. Inside John smiled when blood spurted from Cody's nose. Although he was bleeding Cody never stopped swinging wildly, some of his punches actually landing

"Enough!" John yelled trying to appear the peacekeeper. He really could have watched the fight go on but alas he got between the men absorbing a few punches from them himself

"Move John!"

"Randy quit."

"Oh mírate a mi hijo." Cody's mom bemoaned as she wiped his face

"What the hell is going on here?" Randy's dad asked. "Someone answer me!"

"It's such a long story." John said

"We got nothing but time boy."

"Randy stole John from me is what happened." Cody said

"Son?"

"John's a grown man not property and therefor he cannot be stolen."

"Cut the bullshit Randal. Did Cody have him first?"

"You want to know what happened? Is everyone listening?" Randy asked as he spat on the ground. Of course everyone was listening. "Cody met John at the mall the day John was released and they fucked that night. That was their arrangement. John and Cody were fuck-buddies but Cody is a clingy, jealous prick so the nice thing they had he ruined. John tried on numerous occasions to get Cody to leave him alone."

"How do you figure into this Randal?"

"He was fucking John too!"

"I'm gonna bust your ass if you don't stop talking like that boy." Cody's dad said

"No I wasn't Cody and I don't know how many times I have to tell you that. John and I didn't get together until months later. And let me make it clear that when I say get together I mean an actual relationship. I don't just have sex with people unless there are feelings involved...and I don't mean feelings below the waist."

"Of all the people though,"

"Fuck that." Randy said. "John and I became friends and had no intentions of dating but it happened. We even tried not to be with each other but it is what it is. I'm not going to apologize for it because it pales in comparison to what Cody did."

"Oh? What did you do Cody?"

"This isn't about me."

"It's always about you. Ya know," Ah shit John thought. Here it comes. "While we're on the subject of Cody let me just tell you what it is he doesn't want to say – he slept with and is still sleeping with my ex Thomas. They were doing it behind my back."

"Is that what happened to Thomas?"

"Yes honey."

"I liked him too...no offense John. You seem alright but we don't know each other well enough yet." John nodded

"No offense taken. I'm sorry about all of this."

"It's okay Johnny." Had he not been so mad Randy would have laughed at the way his mom gushed over John

"Are you ready to go?" Randy asked rubbing a thumb over John's fingers while he held his hand

"You guys don't have to go."

"We're not staying here with them...oh and I know you touched John earlier, nasty ass." Randy kissed his mother's cheek. "I love you and I'll see you later."

"I love you too honey."

"See ya mom." John said hugging the woman. "It was nice meeting you." He said to his lover's dad who nodded

"Get home safe." And with those parting words everyone watched as John and Randy left the party

Randy's House

"How's the leg?" John asked lifting the bag of ice on the tall man's shin. "Oh ouch." He said when he saw the bruise. "He really kicked the shit out of you."

"He brought that leg down from the Heavens."

"If it makes you feel better I'm pretty sure you broke his nose."

"I know that I broke his nose and it does make me feel better." Randy said sipping the tea John had made for him

"Do you think your dad hates me?"

"No." The younger man said kissing John. "My dad cannot stand Cody. He hasn't liked him since we were kids but tolerates him because we were friends and that's his brother's son."

"You should let me put some Bactine on those cuts." John said lifting Randy's glasses and looking at the cuts on his face yet again

"Cody's an asshole but he's not diseased. I've washed my face so I'll be fine."

"If it scars and messes up your pretty face I'll be pissed."

"But I'll be ruggedly handsome."

"Me no want." Randy gasped

"Juicy. No dinosaurs?" John smiled. "Look at you."

"What?"

"Smiling like the Cheshire cat."

"Don't make fun of me."

"I'm not Sheena. So Dinosaurs or chicken nuggets?"

"I'm not choosing. Chicken nuggets and dinosaurs." John said kissing his boyfriend

"Oh well aren't I special?"

"Yes."

"Then can you hand me my phone?"

"Just use me why don't you?"

"Have a heart. I'm injured here."

"What a baby."

"Your phone's ringing."

"That's because you're calling me. Why? I'm right here." Randy checked his phone

"Oh shit. Wrong person." He said tossing his phone to the side. "I guess the call just wasn't meant to be."

"Oh wow."

"Question,"

"What?"

"That's my ringtone though?" John started laughing. "Nasty Boy by Biggie?"

"You were never supposed to hear that."

"Well I have. Now what?"

"It used to be Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta so..."

"It does feel good to be a gangsta."

"Says the guy lying here with glasses and an ice pack."

"Sheena."

Next Morning

John didn't feel Randy rubbing his feet on him but he did hear the man groan

"What's the matter?"

"My leg hurts."

"Still?"

"Yes."

"I told you you should have soaked in a bath. You're sore right now."

"Thanks mom."

"We could have gotten in the Jacuzzi."

"Alright already Sheena."

"I'm just saying."

"Say one more thing."

"And what are you going to do with that peg leg?"

"Don't test me boy."

Mommy: you and Johnny, me and dad? Brunch? At the house? 11:30?

"Do you want to have brunch with my parents?"

"What?" Randy turned his phone toward John. "Does she normally text like that?"

"Pretty much."

"After yesterday I'm surprised I've been invited back to Orton Manor. We can brunch."

Randy Pandy: we'll be there

Mommy: how are you?

Randy Pandy: my leg hurts

Mommy: your leg?

Randy Pandy: from Cody kicking me. It bruised before I even went to bed

Mommy: oh gosh. Well take it easy and make Johnny drive and wait on you today

Randy Pandy: lol. Your Johnny's taking care of me. He makes a great cup of tea btw

Mommy: oh does he? Guess what was just added to the brunch menu

Randy Pandy: lol. I'll see you later

Mommy: okay honey

"I still have to eat a little something before we go."

"For real. I'm starving."

"What's in your pantry? I can bring you something after I let your babies out."

"I have these oatmeal and fruit bowls down there."

"Okay." John located the dogs and let them out and while they were doing whatever it is they did outside John prepared an oatmeal and fruit bowl for he and Randy each

Later

"Aww look at my baby."

"Don't coddle him dear."

"But he's got a little limp."

"I offered to carry him to and from the car."

"Don't strain yourself Cena. He's milking it."

"Pop."

"What? It can't be that bad. Cody is only 100 pounds."

"But he's an angry little twink. There was a lot of added force on top of that 100 pounds."

"Speaking of Cody," Mrs. Orton said picking up her phone. She went through her messages until she found the one she was looking for. "I had this sent to me this morning." Randy and John both smiled at the picture of Cody with two black eyes and a very obviously broken nose

"I would get up and Dougie right now if it weren't for my bum leg." John laughed

"Are those flowers for me?" Randy's mom asked

"Oh yea." John said handing them over

"I told him not to get any but he insisted."

"They're beautiful. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"I printed up little menus when you told me about your leg."

"Oh good. Now I can just circle what I want and you can get it John."

"That was my plan."

"I'm not giving him a pen." Randy's mom smiled at John as she handed her son a Bic pen. Randy burst out laughing while John just stood there

"Oh man," Randy said with a sigh. "I love my mom."

"Thanks a lot. We're on the outs right now mom."

"Oh Johnny." The woman said patting his shoulder

"Here you go Juicy." Randy said handing his paper to John. "And I'll take a mimosa while I wait." John snatched the paper

"You know it would be a real shame if that hot food dropped in your lap."

"A real shame for which one of us?"

"In front of your parents though?"

"Ain't no shame in my game." He said taking a mimosa from John. "Thank you."

"You're welcome Randella."

A Month Later

Randy sat in his living room and drummed his blunt nails on the arm of his couch as he waiting for John who was late. The older man was never late so Randy wasn't sure if he should be mad or worried. Just as he was about to call the man there was a knock at the door then it opened

"What the hell John?"

"Sorry I'm late but I got caught up in something. Hey guys." He said to Pepé and La La

"Caught up in what? You got off work hours ago."

"I know. Here's my peace offering." John said extending the box in his hands toward Randy

"This better be something good for almost making us late and missing our reservations...like a car." The tall man removed the lid to the box and smiled as he reached inside

"Well it's not a car."

"You got me a Frenchie with blue eyes." Randy said cuddling the tiny puppy. "How did you find another blue Frenchie and how much did you pay for him?" He held the dog up and checked the undercarriage. "Yes a him."

"When you said that you would get another puppy if you could have a blue one I started looking for them. After extensive searching I found a breeder and we've kept in contact since she found out her female was pregnant."

"Thank you so much John." Randy said kissing the older man

"You're welcome."

"God he's so cute...and he's got one floppy ear. Now I don't want to go out." The younger man said cradling the dog who had made itself quite comfortable in his arms. "How many were there?"

"Just four."

"Are there any girls?"

"Uh-huh. There were two boys and two girls."

"I want one of the girls too."

"You want me to buy you another one?" John asked

"I'll buy her. How much was he?"

"$3800."

"Can you let her know I want a girl?" As he lowered his head John laughed at how cute Randy was when it came to his dogs

John C: he'd like one of the girls

Missy French B's: are you sure?

John C: I wish you could see him. He's very sure

Missy French B's: which one?

John C: can you send me a picture of them that way he can pick?

Missy French B's: give me a few minutes

John C: no rush

"What are you going to name him?"

"Sacré Bleu. I'm sure I'll end up calling him Bleu for short." John laughed

"That's disgustingly cute."

"He's disgustingly cute. This floppy ear is killing me right now. Did you pick him for the ear?"

"No. I thought those blue eyes were nice eyes for a dog. I barely even noticed that floppy little ear of his."

"You are so cute." The tall man said to the puppy

"Oh here they are." Randy looked at the picture for what John thought was only two seconds before picking the dog he wanted

"The one on the right."

John C: the one on the right

Missy French B's: with the belly patch?

John C: yes. I assume that's why he wants her

Missy French B's: I'll bathe her tonight and you can come for her tomorrow?

John C: okay. $?

Missy French B's: 3000 since she's runty

John C: okay. We'll see you tomorrow around one?

Missy French B's: we'll be waiting! : )

"We're going tomorrow. I said we'll be there around one."

"That's perfect. I'm going to let all of them out then we can go."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'm hungry." John chuckled

Fleming's

"How was your day?"

"Great for the most part."

"For the most part?"

"I got a text from Cody."

"Oh dear God."

"All he said was I forgive you but I didn't respond...until I told my mom and she said he was going into surgery today."

"Surgery?"

"Apparently I set that perfect little nose of his askew. He had to fix it."

"He does have a cute nose."

"This is a nice place Sheena. Don't make me get turned up in here and show out." John choked on his wine

"Please don't be ratchet."

"I don't want to hear you complimenting your former fuck-buddy."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

"Anyway," Randy said with a roll of his eyes. "I said good luck and that was the end of it." The older man nodded

"So what are you going to name the newest puppy?"

"I'm not sure. It's a toss-up between Merci Beaucoup or Femme Fatale." John closed his eyes and smiled

"I can't even with these names. I'm going on the assumption that because they're French bulldogs that they have these French names."

"That would be a good assumption. I hope La and Pepé are being nice to Bleu."

"Did you buy them together?"

"Yes and they've only been around each other. Frenchies need to come in two's. They live better that way."

"Oh I'm sorry. I would have gotten you two,"

"It's okay. We're getting one tomorrow so Bleu will be just fine."

"Do you want to stop at the store after we leave here or tomorrow?"

"After dinner."

"Can you speak French?" Randy laughed loudly then covered his mouth

"No."

...

John kissed all over Randy's shoulder as the men lay on their sides in bed. The tall man whimpered and squeezed his lover's hand tight as John laced them together. John moved his hips faster and pushed deeper and loved the sounds coming from his man. They were beautiful, raw, unbridled and sounded like music to John's ears

"Make me cum John. Fuck I'm so close." The older man reached down and jerked Randy's cock. "Oh shit...faster." John was pleased when he heard the low moan and panting from the other man. He licked his hand then wiped what was left on the sheets. "Lay down." Randy said already pushing John onto his back. He removed the condom John wore and took the man's cock in his mouth. He sucked hard and fast, bobbing his head and twisting his hand. John looked down and watched the younger man tongued the tip of his cock and lap up the cum as it flowed

"Damn it Randy."

"What?"

"You're so nasty. Fuck." Randy laughed

"Because you don't lick your hand or my stomach all the time?"

"Stop making apples and pineapple staples in your diet."

"And deny myself those wonderful blowjobs that end with you swallowing? Not in this lifetime Sheena."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to let the dogs out for the night. The old ones anyway as I'm sure I'll be up with Bleu again before morning. You coming with me?"

"I'll go downstairs with you but I'm getting a drink."

"Scotch?"

"I meant water but a scotch doesn't sound bad." John said scratching his stomach

"Yoo...come look at this Sheena." John turned around and walked back up the two steps he'd gone down

"What?"

"Look." Randy said standing in the sitting area at the top of the stairs. "That is so – oh my God – I'm going super gay. Where's my camera?" Before John could agree with him Randy had gone back to his bedroom, for his phone no doubt, to get a picture of Ooh La La, Sacré Bleu and Pepé Le Pew sleeping in a heap
