"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
Tony opened his eyes and blinked a few times. The first thing he registered was the soreness in his arm. He tried to move it, but he felt that Dillon had laid his head on it. They had fallen asleep together with Dillon's head on his chest. It was something they only did when one needed assurance. It wasn't that they didn't enjoy it, they were just generally more comfortable when they had space. Despite the space in between them, they always had a point of contact. Whether it be a hand or a foot, wrist or ankle, it didn't matter. They always touched. Another reason that they didn't often lie together was because of Dillon's aptness to roll over onto him. Tony had dealt with it all. Sometimes he'd roll over and they'd smack foreheads or he would get an elbow to the ribs. There was one time he'd pushed Tony closer to the edge gradually though the night and he fell out of bed. Off the edge of a 'California King' sized bed! The kid was an octopus. It was an endless annoyance to him and t
Forty-five minutes passed before Dillon got out of the shower. Tony had knocked on the door to ask if he was alright and he got a "Yea, be right out!". When he finally did come out, he was as red as a lobster and fully dressed. It was also unusual for Dillon to take his showers that hot. Any time they had showered together he always bitched about how hot it was. Tony privately assumed that he still felt kind of dirty from his past. He felt bad that he made the kid relive it all over again, but Tony deemed it necessary. It plagued him to the point that neither of them could sleep without the worry of a punch to the face. Plus, he wanted Dillon to know that there was no reason to hide it. Tony wasn't put off by it in the least. The only upset he felt was for Dillon, and the upset that he felt. When he thought about the fucker that did… that to his Dillon, he got enraged. He wanted to hunt the bastard down and end him. "Finally, bitch! You lucky we got on demand water heaters here o
As Tony stood under the hot water as it pelted down on him, he actually allowed himself to feel everything. Dillon was right, as he let himself feel and then release such pain, he started to feel better. That didn't change the fact that it hurt his heart. A lot. Despite the pain, Tony dug deeper and deeper. He couldn't stop now. The faucet had been turned on, so to speak. When Tony was eighteen, he learned of Ethan's habit. Up until he turned nineteen he did his utmost to get him clean. He checked him into rehab after rehab, and begged him to stay sober. For a couple weeks after he'd get out of that month's rehab, Ethan would do great. He would stay clean and focus on other things. During such times he would return to his normal self and Tony would be hopeful that he'd stay that way. Each and every time Ethan failed, it dimmed the light of hope inside him. Several months after Tony had turned nineteen, that's when all hell broke loose. It was when 'that time' happened. He paused t
They were on the road to their destination. Center City awaited them! It was rather cold out, around the low forties, which Tony didn't appreciate. That didn't matter though, he was excited. He would make it a night Dillon would remember for(hopefully) a long time. Truth be told, he was a little worried that the kid wouldn't really want anything. He was the type to be happy just to join Tony for the ride. If that was what he really wanted, then of course he would give him that. At the end of the day, it was Dillon's happiness he cared about, even if he wanted to spoil the crap out of him. It took them a good hour and a half to get there, since the traffic that passed through the city was crazy. When they got there it was a few minutes after six, but they still managed to find a good spot for Bertha rather quickly. He assumed the city wasn't the destination for many of the people on the road. That was totally fine with him. It meant less people that could potentially injure Bertha. I
The two of them stayed as close as they could to one another as they wove their way through the crowds. Eventually, they got within a couple blocks of Town Hall and both of them slowed down and pulled themselves to the side. The Christmas light display was fantastic. Every tree that lined each side of the street was done up in white and gold lights. The street lights and signs all had either light-up snowflakes or holly leaves. The entirety of the Town Hall building was cast in bright green and red dots. Like a synchronized laser pointer, they danced and criss-crossed about the beautiful architecture. It wasn't just the tall stuff that was decked out either. Many of the different higher end shops and restaurants had light shows of their own. Tony thought it was classy that the lights were largely white and gold. When he brought it up, Dillon heatedly debated it. They both loved their mock-arguments about inconsequential things like Christmas lights. It was frankly adorable to see Di
Tony gently placed his hand on Dillon's shoulder and trailed it to the back of his neck. All they did for a moment was stare at each other. He couldn't wait until Dillon turned twenty-one if this is what he'd be treated to with just a low blood alcohol level. Those eyes full of so much blue fire had him insatiable. He leaned in and in the same motion pulled Dillon closer by the back of his neck. They kissed for a few minutes while Tony combed his fingers through Dillon's awesomely soft hair. A moment later, he zeroed in on Tony's sensitive spots behind his ears and kissed and licked them. Then he kissed his way down to the crook of his neck on the right and left another mark. He wondered what the guys at work would say about all the hickies he's had as of late. He didn't really care. Dillon's attention to his sensitive areas had him more turned on than he had ever been, probably in his entire life. That wasn't an exaggeration either. The guy did things to him, and would likely one d
Completely relaxed and boneless, Tony breathed deeply as he leaned back on the brick wall behind him. Dillon was still on his knees as he continued to catch his breath. His whole body trembled with adrenaline. Tony thought he had imagined it when he heard the kid as he started to laugh. It started off quiet until he caught his breath, then transformed into a full-out belly laugh. What? Tony was confused. "Hahahaaaahehehee! Dude- hahahahaha! Shit, ehehehahahaha!" His voice was quite hoarse from what they just did. He couldn't stop the laughter for a solid two minutes. "Wh- huh? Haha, did the drinks have a delayed reaction? Hehehe," Tony chuckled as Dillon wiped his eyes and composed himself. "Heheeehe, no, no- that was just- fuck man, you said anything I wanted but I didn't think you'd do this! That you'd go this far! Fuck! We a coupl'a exhibitionists out here! Heheheeehahaha! Tony! That was fantastic! The thrill! The rush! Shit! I'm still shakin'! Although, my knees are kinda s
