Hunter and Troy were both happy to be dating again. Troy found out that Hunter was ready to take him back and keep things hidden if he hadn't revealed the truth; that would have been Hunter's sacrifice to the relationship. And Hunter was pleasantly surprised to find out that Troy revealed in a moment of fear and concern about Hunter to his friends that he was gay and had been dating Hunter. Troy's sacrifice was not caring who knew or who he lost over being with Hunter. And now the two were going to prom together next week. Tonight had been more than getting back together, the Soul Harmonics also took first place at nationals competition. And because they were seniors; it would likely be their last competition together. It was a great feeling to know they placed first at all their competitions since joining Valhalla Harmonics and Soul Tones together in September 2021. Everyone felt accomplished and was ready to just enjoy the rest of the school year; it seemed everyone was friends know despite the unknowing of Troy's friends from baseball and cheer squad with the whole Troy being gay and loving Hunter thing. It seemed Troy didn't care, he was just glad to have Hunter back as his boyfriend and they were in agreement to just be together and see where things went from there.

Dinner was nice, the two just ate their meals and talked about how things had been over the month while they were broken up. Hunter and Troy stayed longer to enjoy a shared dessert too. Hunter and Troy decided that because they were never out of each other's minds for the month; they would keep their original dating anniversary of January 17th. After the meal, Troy and Hunter loaded back into Hunter's car and went to Hunter's house for the night. Troy did text his parents that he and Hunter were back together and he was staying overnight, of course they didn't mind. Now, at Hunter's house, the car was parked in the garage as Hunter and Troy walked hand in hand through the main doors, finding everyone in the main room.

"There you are, son," Salvatore smiled. "We were getting worried."

"No need to do that. I'm here, and so is Troy…" Hunter replied, dragging his boyfriend in as Troy waved to the Haddock family.

"Hello, dear," Valerie greeted. "I assume things are all patched up between you two?" She hoped.

"Yes, Mom…It's all okay now. We're back together, and everyone knows." Hunter nodded.

"Wonderful. Now maybe you'll stop your moping about at home and work…" Zayden teased.

"ZAY!" Hunter scolded. "I-I was not moping or miserable…"

"Okay, so you basically living in your room unless you had work or school was just our imagination?" Zayden smirked.

"Yes, it was…" Hunter mumbled. "Anyway…We're going up to my room. Troy's sleeping over," He informed. "Goodnight,"

"I'm sure it will be for you!" Zayden commented as Hunter was leaving the room with Troy.

"Zayden…" Salvatore warned.

"Sorry, Dad…But come on, it's true," Zayden laughed.

Hunter had left with Troy and the two reached Hunter's room, getting inside and Hunter closing the door; ensuring it was locked. "If it makes ya feel any better, my parents also told me to have a fun night," Troy mentioned to Hunter gently.

"I'm used to Zayden's antics, it's fine. But he knows I would have preferred it not in front of the younger siblings." Hunter stated. "I'm sure the twins know, but Melissa doesn't…Maybe. Either way, as openly gay as I am, there are some things you keep between you and your lover. Sexual relations is one of them. I don't even talk about with friends. They may know, but they don't say anything." He stated.

"I understand, don't worry." Troy replied to him with a smile. "Out of curiosity…Do any of our friends know about us having sex since January?" He wondered.

"The academy group does. Not sure about the others, but Blake and Samuel know we've done it, at least, once because back on the day we broke up, I told them." Hunter responded.

Troy blinked. "Why? I thought you said you didn't tell people that,"

"They had come to me in the choir room while I thought you were telling the others about being bi and us dating, no one else had arrived yet and the two of them decided to tell me that you were cheating on me. Having had sex with some girl in the bathroom a couple days before…" Hunter chuckled.

"You mean when you had sounded like a girl?" Troy said.

"I only confirmed for them that it had been me in there with you, using the female voice." Hunter reassured. "I'm not sure if they told anyone, but if they did; everyone is keeping quiet out of respect."

"My baseball team friends, and probably the cheerleaders who didn't know until the shooting will likely want to talk to me about things, but haven't said anything just yet. I assume it was from the hype of tonight. Winning and all." Troy shrugged.

"You should talk to them. They know the truth, so the hard part is over…It's still good to actually have a sit down talk with them about the matter." Hunter suggested.

"I will…Next week, when we're back in school and bored with graduation prep," Troy said as he held his boyfriend's hand. "Right now and the rest of the weekend…I just want to spend time with you."

"Aw, you're so sweet," Hunter moved in closer, wrapping his arms around Troy's figure and pecking his lips. "Don't you have a game tomorrow?"

"Okay, besides the game…Which is actually on Sunday, if I remember coach telling us on Thursday. Aside graduation prep, we have play-offs all next week, since Glee is over. Then the week after prom is supposed to be world series." Troy recalled.

"Well, then I guess that means we have tonight and some of tomorrow. It's the presidential event…" Hunter said. "And…What time is your game Sunday?"

"3:00 pm." Troy said.

"I might be able to make it. I have work til 4:00 pm, so I might miss the first couple innings," Hunter replied.

"Sounds good," Troy nodded. "We will have to go to my house at some point tomorrow so I can get my suit for the event,"

"No problem," Hunter smiled. "So what should we do the rest of the night? Movie, cuddling? Sex?"

"I'd say movie and cuddling, but we both know where that's gonna end up…So probably should just cut out the middle bits and jump right in, right?" Troy suggested lightly. "Could always relax tomorrow night with movie and cuddling? You could sleep over my place, or me here again. Not sure what time you start work on Sunday,"

"10 am. Short shift, Greg knows I'm cutting back to enjoy the Summer with friends and get ready for college in September," Hunter replied. "Ever decide what you're gonna do?"

"I think I wanna do college, but just not sure what." Troy admitted.

"You're good at a lot of things, babe. You could probably even get on an athletic scholarship, or partial one, at least," Hunter encouraged. "Could always get into music? Maybe…Engineering, like me. I've seen how good with computers and designing," He suggested.

"And I suppose you'll want to see if we end up in the same dorm?" Troy chuckled. "Maybe. I do like the idea of computer work, and playing sports."

"I've already submitted my applicated to Barbarchi University, and one on standby for Archian State." Hunter smiled. "When they send out acceptance letters, it also gives you a date and time-slot to go in and talk to the registration office. That's when you get your dorm and everything set up."

"You said Barbarchi lets you choose your dorm-mate, right?" Troy asked.

"Yep. But they wait until letters have gone out, to ensure you don't pick someone who didn't get in or apply." Hunter smiled. "Am I enticing you to apply?"

"Kind of, yes," Troy laughed a little. "I really do like the idea of doing Engineering. I likely won't do both like you, but maybe just computer."

"Well, go for it, baby." Hunter said. "BU is taking early enrollment until graduation day. And anyone who applies before early enrollment closes gets their acceptance letter before July starts. You get time to go in and see everything early. Also moving in earlier too. Application is super easy if you're not applying for financial aid, and...for your whole sports thing; the scouts are coming out for scholarships in the next two weeks. So plenty of them will approach during play-offs and world series to offer players going to college a chance at scholarships. Agreeing to those helps you get in too." Hunter explained. "I know I got a good shot at an academic scholarship because of my IQ and outstanding grades throughout the years." He shrugged.

"I think I will." Troy admitted. "You might have to help with the application cause I'm terrible at filling things out." He said.

"Sure. We can do it sometime next week," Hunter agreed. "The guidance counselor you have assigned should have some, or you can go right to the website itself. I did mine online, and online-wise lets you get updates to the status of received, reviewed and when to expect your letter." He added.

"Can't wait. My only worry is if we both get in, and dorm together…Are we going to be okay? It's basically living together. And I've seen couples fall apart-," Troy started but Hunter put a finger to his lips and shake his head.

"The only things that would ruin the relationship is getting all worked up over nothing, like you are now. What happened when you panicked for weeks about coming out to your friends. It made you scared, hesitant and we ended up breaking up because your fear made you get defensive in front of them and say things you didn't mean to cover your ass from the truth coming out," Hunter stated. "But in the end, you ended up telling them in a moment of fear of worrying about me and you realized there are bigger things you could have been worried about the whole time." He added. "Don't get yourself worked up over nothing, love," He smiled and kissed Troy's lips lightly. "Couples move at their own paces, Troy. There's no set time-limits on when couples decide to do things. Some couples wait to have sex until their married. Some do it right away. It's up to the couple when things happen for them when they feel they're ready. Do you think we'd end up fighting and breaking up just because we inhabit the same room through college?"

"No, we're not sharing a bed or anything…Right?" Troy asked.

"We don't have to, no. We can still have separate everything," Hunter nodded. "Maybe random sleepovers in each other's beds, and we can still leave campus to go on dates and take weekends trips into Berk, stay with family. So don't worry, don't get all worked up. It's going to be fine…" He smiled as he wrapped his hands around Troy's waist and looked into his eyes. "Don't worry about everything beyond right now. Live in the moment, look forward towards the future and only remember the past. That's something Jay taught me when I met him, when we got together and now I'll pass that knowledge onto you."

"I'll remember it…" Troy got his arms around Hunter now. "I love you, Hunter."

Hunter smiled gently. "I love you too, Troy,"

It wasn't more than a minute later when they both leaned in closer to one another and their lips crashed together in kiss. It had been previously discussed and heavily implied after getting back together as a couple that they'd be having sex tonight, plus the random stop to the store on the way home to pick up condoms. Hunter told Troy he already had lube at home, so that wasn't needed, also that he only picked up flavored lube from a specific shop. Troy was confused, but Hunter promised he'd take Troy one time to see everything in there because it was a sex store. Jay had taken Hunter plenty of times to get stuff for them, and also Gregory had let Hunter order from there with a gift card to buy dildos to use to prepare for anal sex. Troy wasn't all that surprised by it and Hunter informed Troy that they could venture into other forms of play and kinks if he wanted, and Troy agreed, but not tonight. He just wanted it to be them and regular tonight. Hunter was more than fine with that.

/Lemon Start/

The room was already getting hotter as Hunter and Troy were embracing one another and making out feverishly, layers of clothing beginning to get taken off and tossed carelessly. When the two were nude, they made their way to the bed with Hunter going down first and Troy over him as they kissed passionately and deeply. Hunter knew Troy liked being on the receiving end of things, so he locked his leg around Troy's leg and managed to flip him down onto the bed. Troy looked a bit surprised, but aroused too.

"That was kind of hot," Troy admitted.

"What can I say…I like to keep it fresh in the bedroom," Hunter replied. "But truthfully, I know you prefer to be on the receiving side of things." He added before going back in to make out with Troy some more.

After a little time had passed, Hunter moved his lips along Troy's jawline and then nipped his earlobe. Troy moaned a little and moved his head to the side as Hunter was peppering kisses on Troy's neck, finding the sweet spot to lick and suck on. Troy held Hunter's shoulders, moaning lightly while Hunter only stopped after he left a very visibly hickey on Troy's neck.

"Did you just mark me…" Troy asked.

"Indeed I did. I'm marking what's mine…" Hunter responded, returning to kissing Troy's lips as his hand slipped down to lightly grab hold of Troy's cock and begin stroking it back and forth.

"N-No fair…I want to be able to mark you then…" Troy stated, unable to fight the feeling of his boyfriend's hand stroking his length.

"You'll get your chance," Hunter mentioned against Troy's lips, then began to move down Troy's body until standing on the bed to be level with his lover's length. Still holding it in his hand, he swiped his tongue along the shaft before bringing his mouth over the head to lick around and start sucking up and down.

"Oh Gods…" Troy moaned, laying his head back on the bed, eyes closed and hands at his sides.

Hunter kept at what he was doing, stroking and sucking Troy's cock and listening to the sounds of his boyfriend moaning lightly and glancing to see Troy grip the bed sheets. Hunter eventually picked up sleep and reached into his nightstand they were closest to for the lube, then pulled it out and finagled it a bit to pop to cap open. "Scoot down," Hunter told Troy, who adjusted to move down more until his butt was on the edge of the bed and just instinctively spread his legs. Hunter went back to sucking his boyfriend's length while dribbling lube on his fingers, then closed the lid to the bottle while working the lube around his fingers and using the extra on Troy's ass. While keeping Troy distracted with the blowjob, Hunter began to work his fingers around Troy's entrance, then push one finger inside slowly.

Troy reacted by moaning out, gripping the bed sheets and bucking his hips slightly. Hunter worked his finger in and around to help Troy loosen up before adding his second finger in. Troy moaned loudly, grateful Hunter's room was soundproof, and just laid there on the bed while Hunter had his wicked way with sucking him off and fingering him. Hunter pumped his fingers in and out at the same pace he stroked Troy's cock, while also sucking on it. Troy was coming unraveled with pleasure, he was breathing heavy, panting, and moaning; slowly Hunter was bringing him closer to releasing. If he kept this up, it wouldn't take long at all. After another eight minutes, Hunter knew Troy was done because of all his fidgeting around. Hunter continued until Troy gripped the bed sheets and fought arching.

"Don't fight it, babe…" Hunter urged.

Troy cried out in pleasure, cumming fast, when Hunter struck his prostate hard. Hunter stayed in place to swallow and lick Troy's cock clean before pulling off with a pop, then he withdrew his fingers and stood up straight to look down at Troy's very pleasured face while the man tried to catch his breath. Hunter laid down next to his boyfriend, turning his head to capture his lips in a light kiss, but that soon turned into them making out when Troy turned to be back on top of Hunter. This went on for about five minutes so Troy could calm down, but then he moved down to enjoy his time in sucking his boyfriend off, stroking him as well. Hunter just laid back and let it happen, even when Troy pulled Hunter closer to the edge of the bed and pushed his legs apart slightly.

"Mm," Hunter moaned when Troy went at sucking and stroking Hunter's hardened length. Hunter relaxed fully as Troy went on pleasuring his lover, and at some point, followed the same pattern that Hunter had with getting the lube and working to finger his boyfriend slowly. Troy knew Hunter didn't need him to start at one finger, but he still did for the sake of keeping it slow. This was one of those times they didn't want to just have sex; they were making love to one another. It felt right after getting back together and being on a love level now. Troy did eventually move up to two fingers, fingering Hunter the way Troy knew he liked it. "Gods, yes…" He moaned softly, eyes closed as Troy just went about pleasuring Hunter. It always took a little longer to get Hunter to his release, but Troy knew what worked to make it go faster. Hunter was very good at holding back, but also had great stamina to hold out.

When the moment arrived, Hunter didn't try to hold back; he came easily as Troy happily licked around and swallowed before stopping all movement and withdrawing his fingers. "So how are we doing this? Am I screwing you, or you doing me?" Troy inquired.

"I'll fuck you." Hunter said as he sat up to capture Troy's lips. "We can skip rimming tonight."

Troy nodded. "Sounds good," He laid back down as Hunter located his tossed pants and pulled the condom pack out of the pocket and opened the box to pull one out, then set the box in the drawer. Hunter tore the wrapper and pulled the object out carefully before sliding it over his still hardened cock, then Hunter grabbed the lube to rub it on the condom and more on Troy's rear. Hunter came closer after cleaning his hands off and tossing the lubrication bottle aside as he set himself between Troy's legs, which were upright and spread in waiting. Hunter bent forward to kiss Troy deeply as they went back into making out, but in this, Hunter positioned his length at Troy's hole and began to push inside slowly. "You can…Go faster," Troy panted.

"Are you sure?" Hunter checked.

Troy nodded to him with a smile as Hunter held Troy's hips and snapped his own forward to bury his cock into Troy's ass quickly. Troy gripped Hunter's arms, moaning out at the feeling. Hunter started to rock his hips at a steady pace and making out with Troy in the process. The two continued this for a while, keeping it steady for the sake of making it last. Who cares if they were up late? There was nothing to do until the presidential event, so the two of them could finish their night, curl up nude and cuddle while sleeping in as long as they wanted to. Right now, all that mattered was the moment they were in currently. Hunter and Troy moved around into several positions, having originally started in missionary and then changing over to Hunter pushing Troy's legs up to his chest and from there Troy on his hands and knees. By far, one of his favorite positions and Hunter knew it. After that, Hunter had Troy on his side with him beside, and holding a leg up and beyond that was a brief few moments of Hunter taking Troy against the wall. Each position was only done for a little while and Hunter knew when to refresh the spark of pleasure so that they could both hold back from cumming instantly and building that orgasm back up.

At the clock was venturing into the early hours of the morning since Troy and Hunter not only did what they were with Hunter fucking Troy, but had switched off to letting Troy do Hunter in different positions after they'd cum once together and went back to making out and foreplay before Troy fucked Hunter. They came again like this and returned to Hunter fucking Troy because why not? It was probably about 2:30 am when they finally stopped due to being exhausted and Troy, a little sore, but didn't mind because he knew he'd been asking for harder and faster. The two ended their night with cumming again and collapsing tiredly on the bed together, making out while they came down from the orgasmic high and then eventually cleaning up and each using the bathroom before getting comfortable in bed and Hunter covering them up.

/Lemon End/

Troy snuggled up to Hunter and they relaxed fully, still feeling residual pleasure from their love-making.

"I've missed this…" Troy sighed out.

"Me too…There's nothing quite like sleeping with the person you care about." Hunter agreed.

"Not just sleeping in the same bed, but everything…" Troy admitted. "Missed being with you, the feeling I get when I'm with you. Everything…"

"Me too, love," Hunter gave him a light kiss and Troy returned it. "Everything is as it was now. We're okay, and we're together…So let's just live our lives in each moment that comes and see where this goes." He said.

Troy nodded. "I'm down to do that as long as it's with you."

"I feel the same." Hunter said.

"Let's get some sleep," Troy suggested.

"Goodnight, Troy…I love you."

"I love you too, Hunter,"

Not long after they shared one more kiss and closed their eyes; sleep took them both and the rest of their night, rather early morning, was peaceful.
