It took a week, but they got everything moved into the new apartment. Tallon and Hector never got tired of knowing that it was their apartment, that it was basically home for them now. Everything in there was theirs! They made it a home-something they could be happy in for a long while. The fifth day was spent putting it all away in it's proper place-minus the food, and cleaning stuff since it was already done. Hector and Tallon arranged the living room with help from their friends who had all come out to help them. Then they stopped for lunch, getting right back to work in the bedroom to arrange that how they wanted it. After the bigger things were done the focused on smaller things like the kitchen, bathroom, and Hector's music room which-with permission from the landlord, Hector was allowed to sound proof so it wouldn't disturb the tenants living up on the second floor. Sound proofing didn't take long at all-skills that Hector learned in the military of all places. It took until about 8:45pm-but they got it all set up to their liking and they could finally relax a little.
"Finally. Fucking. Done..." both men sighed out as they flopped on the couch together with wide smiles.
"It was so worth it," Tallon reminded.
"Without a doubt. We really owe to you guys for helping us," Hector smiled looking to Thaxter, Evan, Ryan, and Viktor who were sitting around the room in different spots of the living room. The apartment set up was really nice: there were two entrances inside the first floor. One in the front that faced the street, and one on the side that that had a screen door and regular door. The side door led into the kitchen near the counter. The kitchen itself was pretty big: single oven, four range stove top that had a microwave above it with a fan system installed for the sake of the stove. Next to that on the left was the fridge. On the right was the one bedroom. Along the wall between the bedroom and kitchen entrance was a glass sliding door that led into the backyard. It wasn't big but enough to have a cookout gathering consisting of about thirty people.
The backyard had a stone patio, and then grass the rest of the way back to the property line which was fenced in too. Hector and Tallon invested in a grill, and patio set that could seat six. They also got a folding table with some metal chairs for others to sit if they had a big get together. There was also an awning for over the stone patio. Going back into the house, the bathroom: tub/shower, toilet, sink, closet, few cabinets, and one window was set up right by the side entry door. Leaving the kitchen would lead into the living room. Next to the fridge was another room-this was turned into Hector's music room, it wasn't a large room but it fit all his stuff and him comfortably with a few places to sit. It was more like a large walk in closet or pantry in size. The living room was big. It fit three couches, and a recliner plus the entertainment center, and couch side tables, and of course the center table.
The main entry door was in the living room, also a sliding door closet too. The amount of windows in the apartment was amazing. Bathroom had one, kitchen had two on either side of the counter area opposite the stove and fridge where there were more cabinets, counters, and the double sink. Cabinets were above and below the sink, then a few drawers on top of the bottom cabinets. The living room had two windows, the music room had one, and the living room had three. A lot of natural light came in which was good because they wouldn't have to use the lights a lot. They loved their apartment and it was only $800. Included in that price they got snow removal, water, and garbage. They paid their own electric and gas-then of course their own cell phones, car insurance, internet, cable, and landline. It was a really good deal in the long run-and they got that extra room too, that was what sold Hector-being able to have a place to keep writing his music.
"Don't even mention it-we're glad you guys are so close. We can walk here!" Evan chuckled.
"Especially us since we live closer as well," Thaxter pointed out referring to himself, Viktor, and Ryan who originally lived about thirty minutes away but moved closer and the group of them carpooled to Fort Striker for drill. Although, ten to one, it was everyone in Hector's truck that they took turns driving every month. Now the six of them only lived about ten minutes away from one another and they loved it. Hector and Tallon were also close to the Haddock's, Astrid, Carmen, Mandy, Danielle, Drew, Jessie, Freddie, the Jorgenson's-Skylar, May, and Simon, and the Thorston's-Reina and Trent. So they were always close together no matter what-they always had been growing up though. Well, for everyone except Inferno guys. They weren't in the neighborhood originally.
Ryan, Viktor, and Thaxter lived together in a three bedroom that they split among them. Evan still lived with Mia and Aiden. Hector wasn't sure on the others and what they were doing as far as living situations went. He knew that Darius and Heather still lived with his mother and Spencer. And he knew now that Heather and Freddie were officially dating-they got together right after Darius joined the military because Heather was a mess knowing both of her brothers were in the military and deployed in Iraq.
Reina and Skylar were still dating as far as Hector knew-things had been pretty rocky for them when Reina found out that Skylar had been in on knowing Astrid was cheating on Hector, also when he joined the military. Drew and Mandy had been talking about getting a place but nothing confirmed. Trent and Danielle were dating but weren't living together. Darius and Carmen were happy dating-had no plans to live together yet. Then there was Jessie who was still single and living with his parents as far as Hector understood. Yep. Everything was great.
"You give the military the new address?" Viktor inquired.
"Of course and the landline. All mail should start coming here in a few days they said," Tallon replied. They were all sitting around and eating pizza and drinking a beer to celebrate the move in process finally being over. Five days of craziness and heavy lifting-everyone just wanted their bodies to stop hurting.
"Shit...we got drill this weekend," Hector mumbled as he'd been scrolling through his phone and the alert came up on his calendar.
"No way, do we really?" Ryan groaned.
"Yeah. Second weekend of the month guys," Hector sighed. That meant tomorrow they were going to Fort Striker at 5am to spend the weekend there until Monday at 5am when they could drive back.
"Guess we better get home and get our things ready then. Meeting here at 4:45am then?" Evan asked.
"As usual. See you in the morning," Tallon nodded. The guys all said their goodbyes and left the apartment leaving just Tallon and Hector by themselves now. "Finally just us..." he smiled as he took Hector's phone from him and set it down on the center table, Hector blushed as Tallon leaned in and kissed him deeply. These kisses were the ones that always turned into make out sessions that went on for a while until they stopped to sleep. After ten minutes of it, Hector giggled a bit.
"As much as I'd love to keep going baby, I'm exhausted..." Hector yawned after breaking the kiss.
"I know, me too. But I couldn't resist doing it since we can enjoy it in our apartment, on our couch," Tallon smiled to him.
"Well, after we recover from all this moving, and then drill...we can make out as long as you want," Hector told him.
"Holding you to that babe." Tallon grinned. After that they locked the doors, shut the shades, and got ready to go to sleep after putting the food away. Both crawled into bed, Hector cuddling into Tallon's arms as they shared another quick kiss before letting sleep take them.
(Five Days Later)
Long weekend indeed. Drill sucked! Of course they were already tired and sore from the moving-then throwing on top of that all the work they did for drill? Neither of them wanted to move when they got back to the apartment. They didn't have the energy to make out like they had wanted to. Hector and Tallon both took a hot shower each and crawled into bed for the rest of Monday to sleep it off and pray their bodies were back to normal for the start of Tuesday-which was today! Odin must of heard their prayers because they felt great waking up Tuesday morning. Of course, they were hungry as hell having skipped lunch and dinner in order to sleep. Tallon made them both eggs, bacon, and toast to enjoy together. Just as they were finishing, Hector's cell phone rang, as he checked the ID-he groaned. It was his brother, Darius.
"It is literally 8:30am, Darius...I just woke up twenty minutes ago," Hector said answering it.
"Sorry, little brother. I know, long weekend at drill-I'm still sore myself." Darius replied to him.
"Uh huh...Well, you called with a reason-so let's hear it?"Hector responded.
"There's some kind of formal thing tonight at Berk Hall. Mayors from other islands, president Morgan, and their families too...Basically, it's a big event...President Morgan asked Dad over the weekend if he'd ask you if you'd mind...playing there?" Darius asked slowly. Hector smacked his forehead, "Since you...didn't get to play last time everyone was together because Co-"
"Enough. I know alright? I don't need a fucking reminder of one of the worst days of my life, doubled by the fact I also got disowned that day. What are you asking me? To come as part of the family and perform or just perform as entertainment?" Hector said roughly.
"Hec, keep it down...President is here right now, he came by at 7:30am to ask Dad if he'd gotten an answer from you yet since we were away at drill..." Darius mumbled quietly. Hector sighed heavily.
"You didn't answer my question. Am I required to come as part of the family and perform, or am I just being asked to come and perform as entertainment?" Hector asked again.
"You're being asked to come for the event with the family, and perform..." Darius replied.
Hector closed his eyes a minute before sighing. "He asks me himself then. I get he doesn't see me as his son but if he can't even ask me as a man-then he gets no right to ask anything of me," Hector stated firmly. There was a little silence at first before the phone handed off to someone else-Hector's assumption was to Spencer.
"Hi, son..." came Spencer's voice as Hector inwardly cringed hearing the fake in his tone. "I was...wondering if you weren't too tired or busy-if you'd come to the party tonight at Berk Hall with the family and perform a bit. You and Tallon are both welcome to come-and any of your friends," he asked. Hector rolled his eyes slightly, Spencer was sucking up to him is what he was doing. No matter how much he disliked it though-he stood firm by what he'd said. He wouldn't be the one to ruin the image-he hadn't so far and he wouldn't start now.
"What time?" Hector asked.
"6:30," Spencer replied calmly.
"Then that is when you'll see me. Oh, and I'm not doing this for you. Remember that." Hector answered as he hung up his phone and groaned. "Guess we're going to a party tonight at Berk Hall. I've been asked to perform," Hector sighed.
"He sucked up by inviting me and our friends, didn't he?" Tallon asked. Hector nodded his head a few times, "Hey, don't worry about it. We'll go, play the act as usual and have a good time. Invite all our friends, well, not all of them but our mains who live in this area." Tallon smiled.
"You think?" Hector asked him.
"Of course. Spencer did say 'any of your friends', didn't he?" Tallon grinned a bit as Hector smiled and texted Drew, Jessie, Trent, Skylar, Freddie, Thaxter, Viktor, Ryan, and Evan. He told them what time it was, what to wear, and to invite their girlfriends. Knowing Heather, she likely already invited Freddie, and Darius invited Carmen to go with him. They all replied within five minutes saying they were down for it and would meet them there.
"They are all game for it," Hector replied putting his phone down.
"Well, we know we'll have a good time them," Tallon chuckled a bit. "Any idea what you'll play tonight?"
"I never do. I suppose I should go figure that out and start packing it in the truck so it's ready for 6:15pm when we leave here to get there on time." Hector sighed.
"Sing from your heart. Stop worrying about what songs would fit the occasion. They asked you to perform, they didn't say what. So just go with what feels right. Following your heart has got you this far-why stop now?" Tallon offered lightly.
"I love you-you know that right?" Hector smiled gently.
"And I love you too. Follow your heart and be who you really are," Tallon kissed him deeply, Hector melted into it instantly-his body going weak in Tallon's arms which were now wrapped around his waist. Tallon slipped his tongue into Hector's mouth and ran it along his as a moan escaped Hector's throat almost immediately afterwards. Their tongues battled one another for dominance-but Tallon always won. Tallon gently pushed Hector into their bedroom, closed the door with his foot, and then laid him on the bed-Tallon on top of him slightly.
"Mm...what are...you doing, Tal?" Hector asked between the kisses.
"I can tell you're stressed and tense about tonight, you're also incredibly turned on right now..." Tallon whispered lightly against Hector's ear which made Hector shudder with excitement almost. Tallon's kisses moved to his boyfriend's neck which drove Hector crazy, a tingling feeling coursing through his body. "Let me help?" Hector blushed deeply and nodded to him. Tallon kissed Hector's lips again, passionately this time.
(Little Hector & Tallon Fun Below)
(Start)
They'd never done anything like this before-gone farther than a heated make out session. Neither of them seemed to care either, why shouldn't they have a little fun. They finally had their own place, all the privacy they could ever want. They'd been together five months now-almost six in September. Hector was under Tallon who was kissing him gently-then his lips moved to Hector's neck which made him blush deeply. Tallon lifted Hector up slightly and got his shirt off of him, and then his own. Tallon smiled as he looked into Hector's eyes.
"Do you trust me?" Tallon asked.
"With my life," Hector replied with a nod. Tallon leaned down and kissed him deeply again, his hands roaming down his boyfriend's bare upper half, then reaching the waistline of Hector's sweatpants-Tallon hooked them with his fingers and pulled them down along with his boxers. Hector's face flushed with a deep shade of red now as he was naked completely before Tallon, also at that-Hector was hard already. He gasped a bit when Tallon moved lower and swirled his tongue around it-then began to stroke him up and down carefully. "A-ah...Gods..." he moaned.
"Does it feel good?" Tallon questioned lightly.
"Better than good...amazing..." Hector breathed out as the breathing alone began to pick up as his heart was racing. It felt so different with someone else doing it. Of course he'd masturbated before, most of his sessions were in the shower after he and Tallon got out of heated make out session together. He was a man, every man was guilty of doing it at one point or another. Hector never did it before dating Tallon, he never had the desire to do things like that. Not even with Astrid-that's how he knew things with Tallon were real, the feelings were real between them, this is what it felt like to be in love. Having Tallon be the one to do it-the feeling was indescribable. At one point, Hector felt Tallon not only stroke him but start licking and sucking too-that just got him closer to cumming faster than he expected.
"Don't hold back, babe..." Tallon said as he licked just around the head of Hector's length.
"Gods...Tal...I couldn't if I tried..." Hector panted out as he gripped the sheets of the bed spread-he head tilting up some while continuing to moan. Tallon kept up his actions for another five minutes before Hector moaned out louder than he meant to, he arched a bit and came hard-Tallon never moved his mouth, he swallowed it all. "Fuck..." Hector breathed out trying to catch his breath. Tallon smiled as he pulled off and let go sitting back on his knees while Hector just laid there almost motionless other than his chest rising and falling quickly.
"Feel better now?" Tallon asked him.
"You have no idea..." Hector replied while trying to calm his breathing as he sat up smiling and kissed Tallon lightly-he returned it as always before he felt Hector grab his arms and push him down on the bed, now over him.
"What are you doing?" Tallon asked quickly.
"All's fair in love and war, baby," Hector answered as he took off Tallon's sweats and boxers to see him already hard as well. Hector moved himself lower so he could pleasure his boyfriend now-it started the same was as Tallon did to him. Hector licked him first to get him lubricated so there wouldn't be friction when he stroked up. Tallon's eyes closed at the feeling as he relaxed there enjoying the feeling. Hector stroked Tallon's length about ten minutes before lowering his head to start sucking on him.
"Gods, Hector..." Tallon moaned out as his breathing started to pick up. Hector smiled but was careful with his teeth too, at least he knew he was doing good. Hector did the same to Tallon that he'd done to him-it was only fair to return the favor, it's not like they weren't enjoying the fact they could do this in their own place without interruptions. Hector continued his actions for ten minutes before Tallon moved a hand to Hector's head while breathing heavily. "Hec...I'm not gonna last long if you don't slow...down..."
"Who said I wanted you to last long?" Hector grinned a bit as he began to stroke and suck faster which drove Tallon to the brink.
"Hector...I'm gonna cum..." he groaned out. Hector didn't stop as Tallon used on hand to grip the sheets, his eyes closed as his hips bucked slightly, "Babe!" Tallon moaned out as he released fast within Hector's mouth, and then Hector swallowed and moved back with a smile.
"Now we're even," Hector chuckled as Tallon pulled him back down on top of him and kissed him deeply-the make out session ensuing once more.
(End)
They made out another fifteen minutes before just laying there naked still-neither of them really wanted to move from their very comfortable position but they did have to get up to shower, pack Hector's music stuff, and clean up the apartment before the event at 6:30pm. Hector didn't know what he was going to sing or perform for everyone but he knew he was taking Tallon's advice and singing however he felt-from the heart. Hector didn't care that he was going to put on yet another act to make everyone think that the Haddock's were perfect, he was just going because the president had asked him to perform and to have a good time with his boyfriend and friends. Tonight was going to be a blast.
