Ennis lay in bed, with Jack curled up beside him, sound asleep. The second Jack had returned from dropping Bobby at school, Ennis had jumped him, excited to have him to himself for a few hours. The first time that they had been alone in 2 weeks. Their love making had been incredibly intense, almost as intense as it had been, all those years ago when Jack had shown up at Ennis's house, and Ennis had taken him back. He smiled as he though of that, the love that had shone in Jacks eyes as they had lay together, listening to the radio, and making small chit-chat.

Jack lifted himself up onto one elbow, reaching down to gently push Ennis hair out of his eyes. Ennis smiled lazy back at him, a special smile, one that said a thousand things, the one that said 'I love you'.
"Whatcha thinkin' Rodeo?" Ennis ran a loving hand down Jack's cheek. Jack caught it with his own and kissed it gently.
"Jist how happy I am to have you. You're real special Ennis."
Ennis looked away awkwardly, not sure how to respond. Thankfully he was saved by the radio.

"Everybody's looking for that something, one thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places, places you never knew it could be."

Jack looked up, reaching over to turn the radio up,
"I like this song," He said, chuckling softly and looking mildly embarrassed.
He then turned to Ennis, and sang along with radio, his blue eyes and the words piercing right through to Ennis's heart.

"Some find it in the face of their children, some find it in their lovers eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings, when you find that special thing
You're flying without wings.
Some find it sharing every morning, some in their solitary lives
You find it in the works of others, a simple line can make you laugh or cry.
Some find it in the deepest friendships, the kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means, you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings.
So impossible as they may seem, you've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know, which one you let go
Would have made you complete"

Jack looked Ennis in surprise, tears where running down Ennis's face, dripping onto the bed. He met Ennis gaze, holding it as he sang the next lines.

"Well for me it's waking up beside you, to watch the sun rise on your face
To know that I can say I love you, at any given time or place
It's the little things that only I know, those are the things that make you mine

And it's like flying without wings, 'cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings.
You're the place my life begins and you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring, I'm flying without wings."

"I love you Ennis,"

Ennis was bought back from his daydream to the shrill sound of the phone ringing. Jack sat up next to him, reaching for it,
"'Ello"?
"What?... What happened? …No, my partner and I will be down right away. …You just keep a good eye on him, and keep that bastard away from him."
Jack slammed the phone down, seething.
Ennis reached out and slipped an arm around his shoulders,
"What's the matter Rodeo?"
"That was Bobby's school, his fuckin' son of a bitch of a teacher scared the shit outta him, when he had the guts to admit that he had 2 Daddies and no Mommy. Intimidated him so bad that Bobby feinted, and is to scared to go back into the class room."
Jack had been throwing on his clothes while he explained, and when he turned around, Ennis was still sitting on the bed, his face stony and cold.
"That fuckin' son of bitch! How dare he do that? That's aginst the fuckin' law! How low can a person go, takin' it out on a poor innocent child, if he had a problem then why the hell didn't he come to us? If he's hurt our Bobby, I'm gonna fuckin kill him!"
Jack reached out and pulled Ennis into a hug, knowing that when Ennis got like this then there was no reasoning with him, it was better to just let him rant.
"Come on love, lets go get Bobby,"
Ennis wordlessly stood up and put some clothes on, before following Jack to the truck.

At Lightning Flat Elementary

Jack strode out in front of Ennis toward the main office. He could feel the anger starting to build, but he knew he had to remain level headed for Bobby's sake. He push a door open and walked up to the desk, looking around for someone to speak to. A young lady approached them,
"Yes? May I help you?"
"I'm here to collect our son, Bobby Twist."
A look of surprise crossed her face and she glance at Ennis.
"I, uh, thought you were bringing your partner with you sir."
Ennis face clouded over, he stepped forward,
"I am his partner." He reached down and clasped Jack's hand tightly in his hand.
"Oh, of course, I see. Ah, I'll just get someone to bring your son, Mr. Twist."
There was a sudden thudding of feet behind them, and then Bobby's voice.
"Daddy!" Jack reached down and pulled him into a hug.
"Thank God you're okay son."
Bobby gave him a huge grin and then turned to Ennis, holding his arms out
"Uncle Ennis!"
Ennis grinned and stooped down to hug him as well, ruffling his hair teasingly.
"C'mon son, lets take you home, I think you've had enough excitement for one day!" Bobby laughed and reached for Jack's hand, and then for Ennis's, so he was in between them, before the three of them headed off towards the truck.

3 Months after Bobby arrived, early December
Jack pulled Bobby's scarf tighter around his neck, and zipped up his coat.
"Now you run straight up to Grandma and Pa's house okay? And be careful, the ground is starting to ice over. And leave your coat zipped up until you get inside, I don't want you getting sick."
Ennis slipped an arm around Jack's waist, gently pulling him away from Bobby.
"Let the poor boy go Jack, he knows all the rules!"
Bobby nodded in agreement with Dada Ennis. Daddy had a tendency to worry too much, he was a big boy, and could take care of himself!
Jack smiled at Ennis and kissed him gently. Tonight was going to be one to remember. Bobby was going up to help his Grandma with the baking for tomorrow's big fair. Jack's parents had offered to keep Bobby over night, using the excuse that by the time all the baking was done, it would be too late and cold to walk Bobby back down to the homestead. Both Ennis and Jack knew that it really was so that they could have some time alone.
"Can I go now Daddy?"
Jack smiled and nodded. "Have a good night son," he said, kissing him on top of his head. Bobby grinned in response, before turning to give Ennis a hug as well.
"Love you Daddy, love you Dada Ennis."
Ennis stood behind Jack, with his arms wrapped around his waist as they watched Bobby run off up the gravel drive through the front window of the homestead.
Jack leant back into Ennis's arms, feeling there strength as they held him tight. As much as he loved having Bobby around, it gave him and Ennis precious little time alone together. He felt Ennis's hands slide lower and cup his crotch, gently squeezing Jack's semi-erect cock through the rough denim.
"Now we're all alone, what do you wanna do, Mr. Twist?" Ennis asked him, leaning down slightly to nibble on Jack's ear. Jack tilted his head back and groaned. Ennis's hand was still massaging his cock, and all he wanted was for Ennis to fuck him hard.
Jack turned around to face Ennis, and leant up to kiss him. Ennis responded to the kiss, his tongue duelling with Jack's. Ennis pushed his hard erection up against Jack's, causing both men to moan aloud.
"So tell me, what do you wanna do?" Ennis asked again, knowing full well what Jack really wanted, but wanting to hear Jack say it.
"I want you to fuck me."
Jack wasn't one to mince words, especially when he wanted something this bad.
"I'm gonna fuck you so hard that you're not gonna be able to sit down for a week," Ennis growled into Jack's ear, rubbing up against Jack's crotch. Jack groaned in response, grabbed Ennis's hand and dragged him towards the bedroom.
Once in the room, Ennis took charge, shoving Jack roughly onto the bed, and quickly unfastening his jeans, pulling them off, along with Jack's boxers in one swift moment. Jack's cock sprung free, leaking precum from the slit. Ennis started to kiss his way down Jack's body, stopping to suck on each nipple, causing Jack to yelp with pleasure. He reached down and started to pump Jack's cock gently, running his thumb across the head.
"What do you want Jack?"
Jack thrust into Ennis's hand, he wanted everything, and he wanted it now.
"Suck me, fuck me, do anything you want to me!"
Ennis slid down the rest of Jack's body til he was level with Jack's cock. He leant in and kiss the head gently, causing Jack to thrust forward. He reached out and started to lick up and down the shaft, before sucking the whole length into his mouth. Jack thrust his whole body forward, enjoying the intense pleasure that shot through him.
Ennis continued to suck on the hardness, gently running his teeth up and down the shaft, then licking the head. All of a sudden he pulled completely away from the hard cock, causing Jack to moan in disappointment. He looked down at Ennis, a questioning look in his eyes. Ennis just smiled at him, and then quickly removed his own jeans and boxers, causing his hard cock to spring free.
He then rolled Jack over, gently spreading his legs, before leaning in to gently blow over Jack's hole. He felt Jack tense in pleasure, and snaked his tongue out to lick the tight hole.
"Oh fuck Ennis," Jack groaned, he loved being rimmed and Ennis did an incredibly good job. He felt Ennis's tongue start to lick around, before pushing its way inside slightly. Jack felt his whole body relax as Ennis kissed, licked and tongue fucked his ass. He felt Ennis pull away after a bit, and heard a draw open. He then felt a slippery finger push at his entrance and slowly slide inside, pushing up against his prostate. A second finger joined the first, stretching him open, preparing him for what was to come. He squeaked in surprise when a third finger joined the other 2. Ennis normally stopped at 2, because he knew Jack enjoyed the roughness of his cock stretching him open the rest of the way.
"It's okay Rodeo, I'm jist being sure. It has bin a while."
Jack agreed with that one, he and Ennis had been getting into a routine of love making every night before Bobby had arrived, even had done some minor experimenting with a few toys. But when Bobby came to stay, the sex had all but stopped. The first few weeks Bobby had wanted to sleep in their bed, still hurt and confused by the death of his mother, and the adjustment to this new, strange place.
In fact they hadn't made love properly since the night before Bobby's arrival. They had come close though, one night just as Ennis had entered him, Bobby had appeared in the doorway, teddy in hand, scared by a nightmare that he had, had, and needed both his Daddies to comfort him. After that they hadn't bothered to attempt again. Quick hand job's and blow jobs was all that was possible.
But now, there was no distractions.
Jack felt Ennis remove his fingers, and lay there listening to Ennis groan softly as he started to prepare his own cock. He felt the tip of Ennis's cock pushing up against his hole, and he pushed back up against it, desperate to feel it inside him. It popped inside and Jack felt the familiar sharp pain, which quickly faded. Ennis quickly slide all the way in, enjoy the tight heat of Jack's ass around his own cock.
"Fuck me cowboy." It was Jack's command, the go ahead to start moving.
Ennis pulled almost the entire way out, until just the head was still inside, before shoving himself roughly back in again. Again and again, both men groaning and yelling in complete pleasure. Jack felt Ennis's hand close around his cock, pumping it hard and fast in time with is strokes in and out of his ass. Jack felt the intense pleasure as with each stroke, Ennis's cock brushed up against his prostate, sending shock waves of pleasure throughout his whole body, setting his cock on fire. He let out a long groan of pleasure, he could feel his orgasm getting close, and going by Ennis's short, sharp breaths in his ear, he was getting close as well.
Jack let out a yelp and shuddered as he came hard all over his stomach, shooting out a huge load. It really had been to long. Behind him he felt Ennis start to tense, pumping faster.
"Oh fuck, Jack."
Ennis tensed one last time, before shooting his load into Jack's ass. He shuddered in pleasure and very gently and slowly eased out of Jack.
Jack playfully whimpered as Ennis withdrew, but quickly stopped when he felt Ennis lean down and gently lick away any cum that had trickled out of his ass. He had never done that before! But Ennis wasn't finished. It had been to long since he had tasted Jack's cum. He quickly lick around to Jack's stomach and licked up the sticky mess there, enjoying the tasted that was his man.
Later, when they were all cleaned up (properly, from the shower) they lay together in each others arms, enjoying each others company, but Jack seemed kind of jumpy.
"You okay bud?" Ennis asked him.
"What? Oh, yeah, course."
Ennis gave him a weird look. He could read Jack like a book, and he knew that something was up. He heard Jack mutter "Aww hell," under his breath, before Jack sat up.
"Where you going Jack?"
Jack didn't answer, just reached for Ennis's hands and pulled him to the edge of the bed.
"Stay there, I'll be back in a minute."
Jack hurried out of the room and into the study, where, with shaking hands, he pulled a small box out of the draw, before hurrying back to the bedroom.
Ennis was still sitting where he left him, and Jack smiled at that. Taking a deep breath, he went and knelt down on one knee before Ennis.
"What the hell Jack?" Ennis looked surprised, trying to figure out what was happening.
"Shh, please, just let me talk cowboy."
Jack let out another shaky breath.
"I love you more than life itself Ennis, you know that. Always have and I always will. I know we can never be legal married like, cause the government would never recognise a marriage between two men. Apparently it's not proper. Marriage has gotta be between a man and a woman for it to be legal, load of crap that is."
"Jack, what are you going on about?" Ennis looked incredibly confused, and Jack realised that he had been waffling, trying to figure out the best way to put it.
"What I'm trying to say Ennis is" another shaky breath.
"Will you marry me Ennis? Will you be forever my man?"
