"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

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 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
