2020-09-15 04:58:25Old man Charles took a long drag of his smoke and tossed one to Tony, who lit up right away. Awesome dude, but he felt a pang of annoyance at his laughter. What was so funny about the fact that Ethan threw him away back then? It was a double dose of irritation as he thought about how long it took his brother to realize he was important. What the hell? As Charles exhaled, he looked Tony dead in the eye.
"I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else that comes through these doors without firsthand knowledge of the struggle- and

"Well what are you waitin' for?! Strip and get in yer spot! NOW DILLON!" Tony grabbed his hair again and smacked him across the other cheak. He shoved Dillon's head towards the bedroom and let go abruptly.

"Love you too, man," Dillon replied with a small smile.Tony kissed his forehead and smiled fondly down at him. While Dillon sat and finished his Pepsi and crackers, Tony went around the room and grabbed stuff for their shower. Once he had picked out their clothes, he grabbed a couple towels and washcloths and threw them on the bathroom floor. Finally, Dillon started to feel back to his normal self. It didn't take long for the sugar to kick in, typically only about ten minutes if it was processed sugar. It took a little longer if it was starchy things like bread or similar. That'

"Hey," Dillon said as he separated from him. "What's that 'round yer neck?""H-huh? The chain, duh," Tony said in a bemused tone."What's on the chain?"

Dillon had woken up around two and got Tony up. It was a strangely restful sleep. For Dillon it was restful with wild dreams included. While the two of them felt well rested they were still groggy. Fast food might give one good sleep but at the end of the day it's all salt and preservatives that made one feel heavy. Tony mitigated that when he put on a pot of extra strong coffee. After they were rested and alert they convened in the living room.

Three rounds later and they were nice and relaxed. They lounged around in bed while Dillon played 'Final Fantasy X'. It was the New Year, but to them it just felt like a normal, chill day. It was the newest mile marker in their lives. It had been a crazy year previous, but it was a new year and a clean slate.

Even with how much assurance Tony had given him, Dillon was still worried that their future wouldn't pan out. It was natural and even healthy for one to worry. With Dillon however, he worried far too much. He worried to the brink of

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

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
