The Other White Meat
Duncan's hands were slippery when he heard the distinct ring of his cell. He didn't bother looking at the caller ID because it could only be one person. They'd planned for tonight because Lilly was gone to the Homecoming Dance and his parents gone to L.A. for some business dinner. He knew he'd have hours or even the entire night to himself.
"You alone yet?"
He nodded then mentally slapped himself. "Ah, yeah."
"Good 'cause I'm at the front door."
Duncan's socked feet slid silently across the slick floor as he raced across his wing of the house to where his guest stood on the front step. Only Rosa, the live-in housekeeper, was home with him, but he didn't want any witnesses even though having a friend visit wouldn't be unseemly.
Trepidation fell away and genuine joy replaced it when he opened the door and saw Greg standing there after nearly three weeks apart. The digital age of communication made hiding their relationship easy, especially with Meg to cover for them, but it couldn't take the place of intimacy and sex. Duncan ignored the cameras trained on the archway when he tugged his boyfriend into his arms and kissed his cheek; he would go back later and carefully edit out the parts he didn't want Security or his dad to see.
"Baby, I'm so glad to see you."
A/N: I can't really say where this came from other than the Muse poking around in my head. This sprang full-formed like Athena from Zeus the minute I wrote about Duncan and Meg in Ch. 16. I was curious as to why they were so virginal after three years and this was born. And to be clear, Meg is complicit in the relationship and is fully aware her "boyfriend" is gay and unwilling to step from the closet for private reasons of his own. She's just happy to have someone who takes her places and occasionally buys her pretty things without pressuring her for sex in return. I don't normally interrupt regularly scheduled programming, but this piece just begged to be placed. I suppose I could make a 'verse out of this and make this part two, but it seems a hassle especially since then I'd have to timestamp it. No, after careful thought (while typing it out to you dear Fanficcers), I will leave it right here.
