Tony pulled into the Shoprite parking lot and parked as far from the store as he could, away from cars that could hurt Harley if they weren't careful. Most people in grocery store parking lots weren't careful. Plus, he never minded the walk since it got him to move around more. After he entered the sliding doors and selected his cart, he set to work. He had to get lo
Tony hated the fact that things had ended up the way they had. He despised it. In the back of his head, it had always been a desperate wish of his that Ethan would
Tony finished the pudding in record time, and it was perfectly cooked at that. He set it in the fridge with cling wrap he put on the surface to prevent the nasty skin that would form if he hadn't. Tony checked his phone for any missed texts and saw that there were none. Then he made his way to his closet to find something more appropriate to wear than sweats and a ratty thermal. His phone had shown that it was almost a quarter of three so he was still on schedule.He came out of his room in a nice maroon polo and his favourite pair of relaxed-fit dark blue jeans.
Dillon flashed another smile at Tony as he sat on the couch in front of him. He knew why Tony sat down, and that made his face heat up a couple degrees. Not good at all, especially with his parents fifteen feet away in the kitchen. The blush creeped further up his face and he felt the pull of arousal in his lower belly, so he thought it a good idea to retreat. With a wink, Dill pivoted on his heels and made for the kitchen. He heard Tony adjust himself in his seat and grinned to himself.Dad had gathered all the plates and silverware, while mom folded the cloth napkins, which she
Dillon bolted back upstairs. When he got there, he noticed Tony had moved all the cold stuff in glass bowls and the basket of sliced Italian bread onto the small table next to the service. Mom's good silver spoons were in them to serve with. Dillon made it to the kitchen and started to move all the sternos followed by the food filled trays to the dining room. Perhaps he did go a little nuts with all the sternos and trays when they could have just gotten their food from the kitchen. Although, he was a chef and he enjoyed that it was almost like he had catered for his family. Tony came out with more trays and with those, they had finally moved everything over.
After they had exchanged lists they sat around the table and talked about this and that for a while. Mom made some awesome coffee, which Dillon had loaded up with Splenda and vanilla creamer. Tony of course, showed his poor taste when he had his black. His hate for black coffee had become a joke to Tony, but Dillon was serious. Of all the delicious favours out there,

"Back when I was around seven years old… God I can't believe I'm tellin' this… that I'm sayin' it out loud. Whatever… Actually, lemme give you some back story first. It all started with my grandparents. My dad's parents specifically. My blood grandmother had died years before I was born. My grandfather got remarried to the grandmother that
'Happy' didn't describe it well at all. Was there a word to describe how intense the warmth in his heart was at that very moment? He tried to compos
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
Tremors ran through Dillon's body as he shook with adrenaline. Air was worth more than gold as he struggled to keep up with his Sir. It was almost impossible and Dillon almost pinched his leg to tap out, but he refused. This was for Tony, and he
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

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
