"You're too handsome to survive prison anyhow."
"I could make a shiv."
"I'm sure you could babe but if you go to prison I'll miss you."
"You can always visit."
"I'm sorry but if you go to prison we're breaking up."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No. You would be in there for at least 25 to life. Why would I wait around? I need to find someone while I'm still cute enough to snag someone wealthy." Randy laughed
"Now I'm not saying you a gold-digger." Evan started laughing
"I can't tell you how to feel but try not to be so mad with John. He did come home and tell you."
"Yea he came home and told me. I remember specifically asking him what he did when he got back that night and not once did he mention or even hint at Ted being there."
"Why would he?"
"Because I asked him."
"And look at how you reacted."
"You weren't even there."
"But I know you. What did you say?"
"I said I would kill Ted or have him killed...basically."
"Oh Randy," Evan said resting his head on the man's shoulder. "That sounds like something to come out of your mouth. You need to relax and please don't start smoking again."
"I'm not and don't start badgering me about it either." Randy said on his third cigarette. Evan gasped
"I do not badger and you know it."
"I want to leave and stay at my apartment." Evan raised his head and looked into Randy's eyes
"Really?"
"Yes...until I calm down."
"So go."
"John said no."
"You're a grown ass man Randy. Go."
"I can't do that Evan and you know it. Just like if I said you couldn't go somewhere you wouldn't go either."
"But you and I both know that if I were upset or mad that you wouldn't make me stay here and I mean if it was something justifiably upsetting...like finding out you went away and Steven showed up in your room and then kissed you."
"Yea but,"
"He's holding you hostage in a sense."
"He doesn't want Cody to know." Evan rolled his eyes
"We all protect Cody because none of us wants to deal with his emotions. Everything is always on us and especially you. Don't tell Cody this; don't let Cody know that – what about you? What about you and how you're going to feel?"
"I handle myself better than Cody does apparently."
"You sure as fuck do and that's why you're thinking of ways to kill Ted. This is such bullshit." Evan said standing
"You're getting all feisty and I need you to calm down for me."
"I'm calm Randy. It's just so ridiculous and I hate that we're even having this conversation because I don't want you to think that I'm trying to speak ill of John but...this...he, in my opinion asks too much of you some times. It stresses me out!"
"You need to lower your voice right now."
"I'm sorry."
"Do you want to go out tomorrow? Like for the whole day...just me and you?"
"And do what?"
"Hang out at my apartment." Randy said smiling
"We can hang out at your apartment." Evan said laughing
After Randy had smoked nearly half the pack of cigarettes he and Evan went back into the house and joined John and Cody in the den. Randy sat at the far end of the couch and never once looked at John
"What are you guys watching?" Evan asked
"Reruns of White Collar."
"Ooh Matt Bomer." Cody turned and high-fived Evan for his comment. John looked across the couch at Randy but the younger man wouldn't make eye contact with him. It baffled John as to why Randy was so mad and because of that he had no idea what he was supposed to do. They all sat in the den and watched a few more episodes of White Collar before going upstairs and to bed
Next Morning
"What are you doing?" Evan asked from his spot on Randy's chest
"Checking your pulse."
"Um, why?"
"Because you're completely still when you sleep and it's rather creepy. I just wanted to make sure you're still alive."
"Have I ever woken up dead?" Randy chuckled
"Not to my recollection."
"Did you sleep last night?"
"For a while. It wasn't restful though."
"I don't imagine that it was. You can get some rest later."
"I fucking hope so. My mind's exhausted."
"What time are," Randy placed a hand over the man's mouth so Evan looked up at him. When he did Randy shook his head slightly and looked in John's direction
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"I'd really like a McMuffin and a hash brown actually."
"Do you want to go to McDonalds?"
"Right now?"
"Well they stop serving at 10:30 and it's after 9 now." Evan groaned. "Don't be lazy. You want the McMuffin so the least you can do is get up. It's not like I'm asking you to drive."
"Oh I don't have to drive? I'm ready then."
"Ass." Evan laughed
"What do you think J and Cody want?"
"John?" Randy called
"What?"
"What do you mean what? You've been up this entire time so don't act like you don't know what I'm asking you."
"A steak egg and cheese bagel with a hash brown." Evan sat up and looked at Randy who lay there with his eyes closed
"Come on Papi Chulo, let's get up." He crawled over Randy and got out of bed pulling the older man behind him to the bathroom
...
The tension between John and Randy was thick. Whenever John would look in the man's direction Randy made a point of looking away and acting as if John weren't there. John wasn't sure what Randy was feeling but knew that whatever it was, it wasn't good. He could tell that Evan was doing his best to appease and keep the tall man calm. Cody seemed to be and probably was clueless to everything going on around him. After all, Randy hadn't changed the way he acted toward the man or Evan, just John
"Evan and I are going out." Randy said poking his head into the gym where John and Cody were
"Ooh, are you guys going on a day date?"
"You could say that. I'm not sure when we'll be back so don't make any plans or anything involving us. You guys have a good time with each other today."
"We can go on a date John."
"Yea, we can go on a date." John said staring at Randy who glared at him
"Where do you want to go baby?"
"I don't know. Would you like to go somewhere in particular?" John asked still looking at Randy
"Well we're leaving now." Randy said speaking up. "We'll see you guys whenever."
"Wait Ran," Cody said getting off the weight bench
"What's up Codes?"
"I want kisses before you go." Randy smiled and pulled Cody into a warm hug before kissing him twice
"I love you." Cody smiled
"I love you too. See ya!"
"See ya." Randy said turning and walking down the hall
"Did he ask where you were going?"
"No, he just kept looking at me while he was talking to Cody. You and I need to stop at the store because there's nothing at my apartment."
"I think we just need snacks and alcoholic beverages." Randy laughed
"Oh is that how today is going down?"
"TV, food, drinks and lots of sex? Yes, that is what I imagined."
"That sounds awesome especially that part about TV."
"Hey!" Evan yelped making Randy laugh
Later
John and Cody
"Baby!" Cody said excitedly. "How did you do this?!"
"I had to pull a lot of strings and call in some favors. Do you want some popcorn with that chocolate beer?"
"Ooh yes please." Cody said getting comfortable in the home theater chair. "I was really disappointed when we went to see this but missed it because we were having a heart-to-heart in the car." John laughed
"I really did want to see this movie and I think that it would be better viewed on the big screen and not just a regular television."
"GI Joe is better on a movie screen." Cody said chomping on his popcorn before the movie even started. "What's that guy's name? Dwayne Johnson I think...he's really handsome." John scoffed
"Eh, he's alright I guess."
"That tattoo on his shoulder and pec is really hot too. Looking at Ran has made me really like tattoos. He makes them sexy." John rolled his eyes. He didn't want to hear about Randy right now
"He makes them something alright." He mumbled
"Huh?"
"Nothing baby. Are you ready?"
"Uh-huh." John started the movie and dimmed the lights all using the universal remote that controlled everything in the media room
Randy and Evan
Randy looked down at the man who was on his knees before him and ran a hand through his hair before roughly grabbing a handful
"Look at me." Randy said through his teeth. Evan looked up at Randy while still sucking on his cock. The tall man groaned as he looked in the small man's lust-filled brown eyes. Evan pulled back until just the tip of Randy's dick was in his mouth and sucked on the head then swirled his tongue around all while looking into Randy's eyes. "You're a little slut you know that?" Evan only responded by licking then sucking the man's balls into his mouth then deep throating his manhood. Randy's breath caught in his throat when he felt Evan's small hands slowly rubbing up and down his thighs as he sucked. "Oh my god!" He said pulling back
"What's the matter?" Evan asked still on his knees. "Did you not like it?"
"Oh Puppy, I loved it. And I'm not sure if I should be happy that you're so good at that or worried."
"You should be thankful."
"I'm that too."
"May I?" Evan asked making Randy smirk and extend his hand
"You are the perfect sub." Randy said pulling the other man up
"I don't know why but it comes easier than I thought it would." The tall man leaned down and slowly kissed Evan
"Well I don't want to toot my own horn," He said pulling away. "But I do treat you very well so you should want to please me."
"Oh should I?" The younger man gasped as he was picked up and slammed against a wall
"Yes," Randy said kissing him. "You should." Evan squirmed around in an effort to get Randy inside of him but purposely Randy kept himself out of reach
"Why won't you,"
"Because we do what I want when I'm ready and I'm not ready yet."
"I am though." Evan said kissing him. "Quiero en este momento; por favor Randy." He whined kissing him again
"You whining in Spanish is so hot." Randy responded pushing his hips forward
"Ah, sí?"
"Sí, sí, sí." Randy said thrusting a little faster. Evan wrapped both of his hands around Randy's neck and squeezed slightly making the older man drive harder into him. Evan closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall as Randy's cock brushed against his prostate
"Oh mi dios que se siente incredible." He said squeezing Randy harder
"Fuck Ev." Randy said knocking the man against the wall. Evan's legs circled the man's waist tighter drawing him deeper and even closer to the nub of flesh bringing him immense pleasure. The men grunted and moaned together until they both climaxed. Evan slid down to the floor followed by Randy. They just lay there trying to catch their breath
"Holy shit that was good." Evan said speaking up
"Yea and we get to do it all day." The small man laughed
"Are you sure you can? You're pretty old." Randy tried lifting his head but was too exhausted. "Thanks for proving my point."
"That doesn't prove shit. I'm tired after holding your heavy ass up all that time."
"Heavy? Please. You're what – 70 pounds heavier than I am?"
"I'm also two feet taller than you." Evan laughed
"You are less than a foot taller than me and I know you know that."
"Two feet, nine inches...what's the difference?"
"Fifteen inches...exactly fifteen inches is the difference between two feet and nine inches."
"Smartass." Randy said rolling over and pushing Evan's legs apart
"Oh now I'm a smartass?"
"You've always been." Randy said thrusting inside the man. "But I like that about you."
"Do you?"
"Mmhm."
"Then I'll continue with my smartass antics."
"Please do." Randy said kissing the smaller man
John and Cody
"What?" John asked Cody who had been staring at him
"I know that you went through the trouble of getting the movie for me to watch, for us to watch together...and I feel really bad about saying this but that movie was really bad." John began to laugh. "Are you mad?"
"Do I sound mad to you? I thought it was awful too. Are you mad that your sexy idol acted in such a poorly written and directed film?"
"No because he's still hot as hell." John looked at Cody who covered his mouth. "I didn't mean that."
"You did mean that but I don't care because you're not getting with him. You're stuck with me kid." He said patting Cody's leg
"I'm not stuck. Believe it or not I happen to like you a little bit." John laughed
"Only a little bit huh?"
"Very little."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Yes John, I am kidding you. Are my displays of affection not enough?"
"Your affection is plenty, thank you."
"John?"
"Yes baby?"
"What's going on with Ran?"
"What?"
"You guys are being weird with each other. He's ignoring you."
"No he's not."
"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not as stupid as you think I am? He is and because he's ignoring you and you spend a lot of time with me I'm being ignored too. He and Evy went to McDonalds this morning and they left to do who knows what without me. Ran didn't even ask. I would have stayed here with you but being asked would have been nice."
"Well I'm sorry you feel like you're being ignored but I don't know what you're talking about." Cody sighed
"Fine, if you want to pretend like you don't know what's going on then fine by me but I know that you know." He said narrowing his eyes at John who kissed him. "Are you trying to pacify me with kisses?"
"Maybe."
"Oh no, I'm going to need something a little more than kisses to appease me at the moment." John looked at his watch
"I'm not taking you shopping."
"I don't want to go shopping John."
"Sex then?"
"Yes but just to third base." John laughed
"And you want that from me?"
"Yes. I wouldn't tell you that I was going to do it."
"Do I have to get on my knees?" Cody smirked
"Oh yes, that makes it so much better. I'll make room for you." The young man said spreading his legs apart
"I'm too old for this."
"On your knees John." Cody demanded. John had no choice but to obey him
Later
Randy and Evan
"Randy quit it. It's my mom." Evan said trying to reach for his phone
"How do you know?" Randy asked slowly working his hips
"It's her ringtone and it's gone off three times now...stop. Hello?"
"Hello dear."
"Hi mom."
"Hi mom." Randy said into the phone making Evan's mom laugh
"Hi there. Did I interrupt?
"Oh no – what would you have interrupted?"
"I can think of a few things but I'd rather not say."
"Mom!" Randy laughed
"Well honey you're young and in love...and Randy is awfully close to the phone. I'm just putting all those facts together."
"How are you mom?" Evan asked attempting to change the subject
"I was just calling to see what you were up to. We haven't talked in a few days."
"Oh, I'm sorry mom."
"Don't be sorry honey. Dad and I just wanted to make sure you were alright."
"How come dad didn't call me?"
"You know he's not going to do that. He'll hint at and nudge me in the arm until I do it. That's your father for you."
"I know." Evan said biting the pillow he'd grabbed to muffle his moans as Randy still moved inside of him
"So what are you guys up to?" He took a deep breath
"...we're just hanging out at Randy's apartment."
"What? Randy's apartment?"
"Yea, I know. It sounds insane but Randy kept the apartment he was living in when he met John."
"What's going on?" His mom asked sounding concerned...like a mom
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Evan Bourne," His mom said firmly. "Do not give me that. Are you guys fighting?"
"I wouldn't call it fighting so much as it is Randy ignoring John and needing some time away."
"Oh my. Where's Cody?"
"At home with John."
"Well how come he's not there too?"
"He's with John and he's there because someone had to stay with John. And Cody wasn't invited."
"And why not?"
"Because mom," Evan said in a frustrating tone. "Randy is having issues with John and things would just be blown up worse if Cody was involved."
"But you're involved."
"But I'm not involved with John. I can't discount all the wonderful things John has done for me but my loyalty is with Randy."
"You're in love so I understand but answer me one thing."
"What's that?"
"Cody doesn't know about this tiff between John and Randy does he?"
"No."
"He's always been so high strung and emotional. Not telling him is for the best I'm sure." Evan and Randy laughed
"Nothing's changed there."
"I don't imagine so. Well I'll let the two of you get back to whatever you were doing,"
"Mom." She laughed
"What honey?"
"Anyway, what were you saying?"
"I'm going to go. It was great hearing your voice, yours too Randy, and I'll talk to you later."
"Okay. Love you mom."
"Love you too."
"Bye."
"Bye." Evan ended the call and sighed as Randy released his cock from his hand and he came
"Thanks for not doing that while I was on the phone."
"You're welcome. You kinda lied to your mom you know?"
"I know that but if I'd told her everything it would have just worried her more than she already is. I lied by omission and I feel terrible but," Evan shrugged. "I would rather feel terrible than her worry."
"I'm sorry you had to."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Because of me you're here."
"I could have done something else...you could have come here by yourself."
"I would call you a ride or die chick but you're not a girl." Evan laughed
"No I'm not. Short jokes aside; you've been good to me so if you need me for anything, ever then I'm here. I love you."
"Oh Puppy," Randy said sighing. "You're going to make me get emotional." Evan's stomach growled. "What's that Lassie? Puppy's hungry?"
"You're so funny."
"I know. Do you want to get a pizza?"
"I'll eat anything at this point." Randy raised a brow. "I'd rather have something nourishing and I won't do that until you've taken a shower first."
"Duly noted." Randy said leaning over and kissing the other man. "I love you too." He said getting up and going to the kitchen
John and Cody
Cody lay sprawled out in the theater chair breathing heavily as he came down from the intense orgasm brought on by John's mouth and fingers
"You know," He said raising a single finger in the air. "It's really unfair that you don't do that more often."
"You're spoiled enough as is." John said reaching out
"I can't get up right now."
"Cody, come on, I sucked you off. It can't have been that serious."
"I wish you could do that to yourself so you knew." John laughed
"That would probably require me learning yoga which I'm not going to do." Cody laughed
"I think that would be funny to see."
"It wouldn't, trust me. Do you want to get dinner?"
"I'm hungry but I don't want to go anywhere. Can we order in? I want to put my bajamas on and cuddle with you."
"Of course we can order in. What do you want?"
"Shushi." John turned his head so Cody couldn't see him laughing
"What kind?"
"I don't know John. Ran always orders for me. He knows what I like. Can you ask him?" John gritted his teeth
"Sure. You go take a shower and put your bajamas on while I take care of this." Cody managed to get himself out of the chair and upstairs to the bedroom
John: what kind of sushi does Cody like?
Randy put down his slice of pizza and picked up his buzzing phone
Randy: spicy salmon rolls, crunchy spicy tuna rolls and those dumb California rolls. Get him teriyaki chicken too
John: okay. Thanks
Randy: you're welcome
John ordered the food then sat there staring at his phone
John: are you at your apartment?
Randy: yes
John: the apartment I specifically told you not to go to
Randy: I only have one apartment and Cody doesn't know where I am which is what you wanted correct?
John: he doesn't know where you are but he knows something's up. He says you've been ignoring me thus ignoring him
Randy: well he's right about one of those things. I don't have anything to say to you right now John and I'd like to be left alone
John: but you're not alone
Randy: no I'm not. I've got my Puppy with me. Hm, I guess I should have said that I want you to leave me alone
John growled
John: I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU!
Randy: to me? For me? What's the difference?
John: excuse me? I haven't done anything for you? I can't believe you're even saying something like that
Randy: I don't mean the rehab or the things you've bought for me
John: then what the fuck are you talking about?
Randy: I asked you to do what I thought was a simple thing and you didn't
John: this is about Ted isn't it?
Randy: of course it's about Ted. You were supposed to take care of him John. You were supposed to make it okay. You were supposed to protect Cody and I from this...and you didn't
John: what was I to do? What did you want me to do?
Randy: not let what happened happen. And I take back what I said about not protecting Cody. You do a damn fine job of doing that
John: you're right. I didn't think it would turn out like it did and I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I thought I was doing the right thing by telling you
Randy: you did but like I said, if you had done what I asked then there would have been nothing to tell me
John sighed
John: I don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about this via text with you. We can sit down and figure out the Ted situation together
Randy: I'll talk to you later John
John: you're not coming home tonight are you?
Randy read the message then looked at Evan who was already looking at him
"Do you want to stay here for the night?"
"I don't have a change of clothes but if you stay I stay."
"We're staying then and don't worry about clothes. I put a bag in my car."
"Of course you did." Evan chuckled as he pulled a pepperoni off his slice of pizza
"After we finish eating I'll run down to my car and get it."
"And then we can get in bed and sleep?"
"Then we can get in bed and sleep after we shower."
"Duh."
Randy: no I'm not
John: what do I tell Cody?
Randy: I am your fixer John. You don't have to tell Cody anything. I'll handle it. Goodnight
Randy closed John's screen and opened his messages to Cody
Randy: Ev and I had a long day and we're going to crash at my apartment. We'll be back tomorrow...and no I didn't forget that we're making cookies tomorrow. Love you
Randy dressed in his shorts and went down to his car in the parking garage while Evan cleaned up the mess they'd made in the kitchen. By the time he finished Randy was back and carrying him to the shower
"Is it possible to have too much sex?" Randy looked down at the man resting on his chest
"Was that a serious question?"
"Mostly."
"Then no I don't think so. As long as you like it and it still feel sgood then nope. You can never have too much of a good thing. Are you okay?"
"Oh I'm fine, tired but otherwise fine. What are you going to do tomorrow?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean when you go home because you can't run forever."
"I'm not running."
"Not literally but in a way you definitely are."
"I needed a break but if you want to call that running then go right ahead." Evan rolled his eyes
"What are you going to do tomorrow?"
"Cody and I are supposed to be making cookies."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about."
"John said that he and I were going to sit down and figure out the Ted situation together."
"Well that's good."
"Good would have been him taking care of it before."
"But that didn't happen so now you need to move on with the next course of action which is sitting down with John. I suggest not suggesting to kill him because that didn't go over so well."
"Murder never does."
"You're really scary sometimes."
"People keep telling me that and I just don't understand where it comes from."
"Goodnight Randy." Randy laughed
"Puppy."
"No. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Next Afternoon
"Are you ready to go?" Evan asked Randy as the tall man lay lounging on the couch
"Not really."
"You have to make those cookies with Codes. He'll be upset if you blow him off."
"No he won't." Randy said smirking
"That is not what I meant."
"I know." Randy said sighing. "Let's go buzz kill."
"So now you resorted to calling names? That's fine. I have thick skin."
John and Cody
"What's the point of walking this dog if he has to be carried most of the way?"
"So that he still gets some exercise John. Maxi has to stay in tip top shape and a lovely 11 pounds."
"Oh right."
"Have you thought about me getting another dog for Max?"
"Did Max ask for a playmate?"
"He did with his eyes. See?" Cody said shoving the dog in John's face as they walked. John pushed him away
"I don't speak dog eyes and no I haven't given it any thought. I told you that you have to talk to Randy about it."
"Speaking of Randy is that him driving toward us?"
"I don't know." John said stepping out of the way just in case it was Randy and he was still in a murderous mood. "He's not the only one in this neighborhood with a Bentley."
"But he's the only one with a Bentley that shiny." John laughed as the car slowed down. "It's him. Hey Ran!" Cody said as Randy put his window down
"Hey Codes."
"Hi Evy!" He said bending down and waving to the man in the passenger seat
"Hi Codes."
"I got your message Ran and I got all the dry ingredients out."
"Very good."
"Hey could you do me a favor?"
"Do not put that dog in my car."
"But he's tired." Cody said shifting Max in his arms. "He walked all the way to the gates and a little bit of the way back all on his own."
"You can carry him the rest of the way then."
"Come on Ran, please?" He asked he and Max both giving sad eyes
"I don't want dog in my car."
"Oh you're only going up the street." Cody said sticking Max through the window and dropping him in Randy's lap. "See you at home." He said turning away and walking with John. Randy growled while putting his window up. Evan laughed and took Max from the man's lap
"If my car smells,"
"Oh hush Randy. Your car will not smell because we're only driving less than a minute away and Max doesn't even smell. He's the cleanest, most un-smelly little dog on this earth."
"But I don't want dog in my car."
"You're going to need a ladder to get over yourself." Randy eyed the small man as he mashed the button of the garage door opener with his finger
...
"You washed your hands right?"
"Yep!" Cody said holding his hands up for inspection. "Can I crush the graham crackers?"
"If it makes you happy."
"It does." He said as he crushed the crackers with a rolling pin. "How was your day with Ev? It must have been good if you didn't come back last night."
"It was." Randy said smiling
"You guys did it all day."
"How do you know we didn't have deep conversation over drinks while we noshed?" Cody looked at him
"You just said nosh for one thing. I don't even know what that means but it sounds like something a person would say when they were fibbing." Randy laughed
"Yea we pretty much did it all day."
"Evy's walking a little funny today." The tall man just shook his head
"He begged for it."
"I'm sure he did beg for you to tear his little booty up."
"Oh my God," Randy said laughing. "We are not having this conversation. We're working on these cookie bars from here on out."
"If it makes you happy." Randy looked up at the young man who was smiling to himself. He left Cody do most of the work in the kitchen and supervised. Cody wasn't a cook or a baker by any means but he did have a knack for measurements and eating the final product. "School is going to be starting soon." Cody said shutting the oven door
"I know."
"Are you still going to pick me up for lunch like you did?" He asked stepping between Randy's legs
"If you still want me to then I absolutely will." The older man responded as he pulled Cody close
"I do."
"Then I will."
"But what if Evy wants you to do that or something?"
"I won't be taking you every day but lunch is our thing and it will remain our thing. Evan's not going to ask me to take him to lunch so you needn't worry about that. It's just me and you okay?"
"Okay." Cody said smiling a little
"You're such a brat." He gasped
"Ran."
"You are. If you weren't so cute I would have just punched you in the face for that." Cody kissed him
"Don't punch me in the face." He said kissing him again
"I won't punch you in the face." Randy said kissing Cody again
"That was three kisses and I don't like odd numbers."
"Do you have OCD now?" Randy asked capturing Cody's lips again
"Mmhm, I think I do." Cody said close enough to smell the spearmint on the other man's breath
"Then we're done. You've been kissed four times." He stole another kiss
"That's five. We have to make it at least six." Randy put and hand on either side of Cody's head and tilting his own head to the side he kissed him. Cody moaned as the older man barely slipped his tongue past his lips. He met the tongue with his own and tasted the minty freshness of his mouth
"Cody," They pulled apart when John walked into the kitchen. "Oh, sorry."
"What's up baby?"
"I wanted to ask you where you put my clothes that you picked up from the dry cleaners." Cody looked at Randy
"You forgot to do that so I had to."
"And you survived so it couldn't have been that bad."
"Where is my stuff?"
"The laundry room."
"Why's it in there and not the closet?"
"I don't know John! Dry cleaners and laundry and clothes aren't my thing."
"Relax why don't you? I'll go get it." John said leaving the kitchen
"How come he didn't get his own clothes?"
"He had to go over to his office."
"So he should have been able to pick the stuff up before or after." Cody stood there
"Oh well now I feel duped." Randy laughed
"You may have been duped my friend."
"I think more kisses from you would make me feel better about the whole thing." Randy smirked
"We know how I live to make people feel better." Cody just pursed his lips as a response
A Few Days Later
Evan and Cody had gone to a supply store to pick up decorations for Evan's new kindergarten class. Cody was super excited since Evan teaching kindergarten appealed more to his creative side than a first grade class like the man had the previous year. Randy was home putting the finishing touches on some orders while John was at the office. He was glad to be home alone since he could spend more time focused on productive things and not ignoring John. The older man still hadn't talked about The Ted Situation but Randy's icy demeanor was less than inviting and not at all conducive to an adult conversation. Randy shut the box of lemon bars he'd just made and looked up only to see the object of his sleepless nights standing there
"Randy we need to talk."
"I'm busy right now."
"I really can't believe it's you acting like this. I expected this kind of childish behavior from Cody but never from you. I feel like you've blindsided me and I don't know what to do."
"What part of I'm busy didn't you understand?"
"Time out – you can be mad at me or whatever it is but you're not going to speak to me that way. The rule of who runs things around here hasn't changed. I'm still in charge and you're going to treat me like I am. I'm not going to ask if you understand me because I know that you do. You just need to be reminded every now and then." Randy just worked silently as if he didn't hear John talking. The treatment only served to infuriate John. "Maybe we can talk later when I'm not so mad you're not acting like a little bitch." He said walking out of the kitchen. Randy picked up a knife he had laying there and stabbed one of his wooden cutting boards. He pulled the knife out of the wood and stabbed it thrice more before leaving the knife sticking up like an ominous warning from a B horror movie. Taking a deep breath he moved about the kitchen labeling boxes and cleaning up his mess. When the kitchen was neat and orderly like he wanted it Randy grabbed his cigarettes and went to smoke outside. From the balcony in their bedroom John could see the man pacing around the yard like a prisoner. He circled the pool twice in a clockwise motion then stopped and started again but this time counter-clockwise. It was actually a disturbing thing to watch but John couldn't take his eyes off the sight. After wearing a tread around the pool Randy then paced the perimeter of the yard before opening the back gate and walking further out onto the non-fenced in part of the property. John had seen enough so he went back into the house shutting the balcony door behind him and going downstairs
Randy was staring out at the lake situated near the very back of the property when he heard rock and bits of gravel being crushed under foot. He threw his cigarette butt to the ground and turned slowly to see John, the person he expected, standing there. John swallowed and took a few steps closer before opening his arms. Without a word Randy walked over and allowed John to hold him in his strong arms. John could feel the younger man's body shaking as they stood there embracing one another. At this point John didn't know if it was from anger or if the man was in tears
"I don't want to be cheated on John."
"I know."
"I love you and I never wanted that."
"I know and I'm sorry I did. You have nothing to worry about now." John said softly. "And I'm sorry I didn't protect you like I've always promised to do."
"I'm sorry you keep having to apologize to me."
"Don't be. I keep doing things that warrant apologies." Randy leaned down and kissed the man roughly and John reciprocated just as rough. They began tearing at each-others clothing until they lay naked on the rocky ground. John pushed the younger man's legs apart then spat on his hand and rubbed it over the tight hole. Randy arched his back as John invaded him. John pushed Randy's arms above his head and laced their fingers together as he rocked his hips forcefully in and out of the man under him
"Fuck." Randy said closing his eyes and moving along with the other man. He didn't care about the pebbles debossing his skin. Just that John was hammering him and making him not think about anything. It was like being high. John was his drug

Translation: Quiero en este momento; por favor Randy – I want to right now; please Randy
Oh mi dios que se siente incredible – oh my god that feels incredible
A/N: I think this is my shortest chapter to date. This is exhausting guys but not to worry, I will not quit. I feel like I could spew some John Cena catchphrases here but I won't. See you next week! ...with possibly a longer chapter – NdP
