The sun had dipped a lot as well, and it now looked like late afternoon or early evening. How long was he out? He was so comfortable that he didn't even remember when he fell asleep. When Tony flipped over to talk to Dillon, he felt a horribly sharp

Up until then, Tony was blissfully unaware of what Dillon was up to. Once he saw him take the pile of washcloths and drop them into the ice water, Tony was hit with the horror of what he

"I'm s-sorry Dill, yer right. I-I'm bein' ridiculous and... I uh, sorry. W-won't bring it up again. Think I'm j-just tired n' in pain-"Before Tony could finish, Dillon gave him a gentle hug. He remembered to be very cautious with his burn, but the dude needed a hug. Sadly, he didn't hug Dillon back or move in any way. It's like he wasn't even there. When Dillon let go, Tony had a look of disbelief on his face. It was almost as if this was the first time he'd been

Dillon eventually chose to start at the top and then work his way down. The top floor was largely clothes and souvenir shops, a couple new ones too. The third floor was probably his favourite. Almost all the shops weren't there last summer and included places that sold tobacco and tobacco accessories like Zippos and pipes. Dillon wasn't a smoker, but he had a nice Zi

After they saw enough to make both their heads spin, they just wandered around for a bit until the fireworks show at ten o'clock. The fireworks were definitely worth the amount of energy Tony had expended from the walk. Tony was surprised at the time that Dillon had healed him to the point that he had enough energy and wasn't in

Since it was their last day today, they wanted to pack as much fun into it as possible. They had all agreed to be up by seven to get an early start. Tony walked out of the bathroom and immediately saw what the source of the crash was. It appeared that Kat and Dillon tried to start on breakfast, but Kat had dropped a bowl of a dozen pre-cracked eggs on the floor. Worse yet, egg had splashed all over her front and face. She sat at the breakfast bar with a shocked expression, while Brenden hysterically cackled next to her as he held his sides.Tony turned to look at Dillon in

Once the two of them had all their stuff, they got out and made their way up to the apartment. Tony was beyond content to see Dillon constantly look back at his new baby girl. There was no need for Mrs. Vera or himself to worry. The kid adored the car enough to be careful and rational in her care. Hopefully he adored it, anyway. He actually hadn't given a definitive judgment on what he thought yet.The very second Dillon unlocked his door with his new apartment key and closed it behind him, he assaulted Tony with a huge hug. The kid's jaw hit the floor when he handed that k

While they might have made up from their combined overreaction earlier, Tony's blood was hot to teach Dillon's rude mouth a lesson. Hopefully Dillon knew it wasn't for real and that it just fit perfectly into the act. The heat that he could see in Dillon's gaze when he grabbed him by the hair told him he needed him. He wanted to make it up to Tony and he

Dillon needed to clear his head. He didn't even want to look at Tony, but he couldn't go home either. The bastard didn't need to know that a night with him was too precious to give up. No, Dillon just needed to think and take some time to himself. He was terrified. Even more people knew, which meant many more points of weakness. That area of town was pretty close knit, and it wasn't impossible that it could leak to his family. Besides, that shop is where his dad took the cars for any non mechanical issue. Fuck, and all

There was no easy way to tell Dillon that half the shop knew about their relationship. The thing was, he couldn't not tell him. If he found out through one of them somehow, his reaction would be a thousand times worse because Tony didn't tell him first. For a couple beats Tony hesitated, with what felt to him like a worried expression on his face. What if Dillon hate

The bus squealed and jerked forward like the ghetto-mobile it is. The sliding door got stock three quarters of the way, which made it difficult to get his jacket and backpack through. Well regardless, he made it, and like usual, he much looked forward to a night with his guy. He didn't tell him he got the green light from his folks to stay over. Once in a while, they'd reward him with a weekday sleepover at Kat's or Tony's, so long as his chores got done and his grades were good. Which they almost always were.After he adjusted his bag and looked forward, he saw Tony on the

Tony's mind was much more at peace. Time to forge on ahead and at least fill and sand the panels for the El Camino. If he could get that done and maybe replace the headlights, taillights, and interior lights with LEDs that the owner requested, he could leave at a reasonable time. Good choice. They had gone with his recommendation to go with LEDs that appeared incande

The Art of Life and Love: The First Spark Chapter 80: Epilogue and Announcement
That concludes our walkthrough of my err- Dillon's life for the year of 2010. It had been quite the year for him, hadn't it? It was a long, arduous one for him to endure. He faced many scary moments, but stumbled upon an equal amount of wonderful moments as well. The greatest moment of which was when Tony became his. The lessons of this year will come in handy this upcoming year as well. They will definitely be needed for 2011. The challenges for Dillon will be great and unlike any he's faced ever before. Now Dillon's found the piece of himself he'd been missing at the beginning of the story in the form of Tony. That's what will make this round of challenges different from the last. New and intimidating things are often new and intimidating enough to stop people from exploring them. Dillon, as we have seen, for the most part never struggles with new things for long. He tackles them head on, as seen when he and Tony were together physically for the first time. It might have been to
