When Tony walked up to the bathroom door and poised himself to knock, he stopped short. Perhaps it was a breach of privacy, but he held his ear silently to the door and listened intently. It was unusual for Dillon to take long in the shower. Oftentimes it meant that he had decided to utilize his shower trick, a trick Dillon had introduced him to months ago to deal with emotional pain and heartache. Tony had to admit it did help, but he had to know if the kid was upset. He was his demon slayer, after all.
Sure enough, it was very faint over the sound of the water, but Tony heard t
"You know I feel the same, right? It's merely daydreamin'. I don't want things to change," Dillon said as he looked right into Tony's eyes. He didn't miss the spark of
When they got to Shoprite(Dillon had coupons and didn't like Wal*Mart's produce and meat selection), Tony's road-rage was stoked with the congestion in the parking lot. Anxiety levels at max after some blind bitch almost backed into them, Tony shouted obscenities at the stream of cars that clogged up the front of the lot by the entrance. All he wanted to do was get down one of the rows so he could park as far from everyone as he could. He always
As he turned on his hazard lights and parked in front of the store, Tony took his phone from the cupholder and called Dillon to come outside. He popped the lever to open the trunk and a few moments later, Dillon came out with the cart. Together, they loaded up the Bronco and returned the cart in easily under a minute. Their teamwork was good, though they were largely spurred forward by the anticipation of what was to come. The sexual tension was so thick, Tony could have cut it with a knife. While they got in and settled, Tony blasted the AC to keep the groceries and themselves comfortably cool. Once Dillon was buckled in, he turned his hazard lights off and pulled away. To the back of the lot he went, but he had something he had to get off his chest as he moved.
Dillon woke with a start as he felt Tony's phone vibrate and play the muffled song 'Down with the Sickness' by Disturbed. As usual, it failed to cause Tony to even
There it was! Dillon saw the iconic large blue and white sign that read 'Wissahickon Valley Park'. Despite his strong desire for nicotine, he couldn't help but get excited over a hike with his friends and his man. He had looked forward to their hike all week and he was ready to cut loose and have a good time. Dillon took the next exit off the expressway to the park a
Never in a million years would he tell anyone that Tyler was the one that introduced him to cigarettes and pot. Never in a billion
The smooth stones felt great on the pads of his feet as Dillon waded out of the water towards his backpack. They didn't bother to pack more than one towel since it was so hot, but Dillon was glad they decided to pack it at all so he could dry his hands and check his phone. It was almost five in the afternoon so they had made good time. There was only about another mile to the end of the trail, and it didn't start to get dark until close to eight. They had decided that Tony and he would go their separate ways together and cross over to the second trail across the creek, and Kat and Co. would turn around and follow the main trail back.
The sun had started to set as Tony and Dillon continued their trek. They weren't far from the trail they'd turn onto to get to the secret place. On the way, Dillon had kept his eyes peeled for pin-straight saplings to make into arrows. Every now and then, he'd stop, take the clippers he had in his backpack on Tony's back, and cut a particularly fine sapling. When he was satisfied with the approximate length, he'd put the sticks in the side pouch of his backpack.As they walked on, Dillon regaled Tony with different stories from his childhood. It was appropriate, since that day ha
"Guh- 'atta boy, Dill! Choke on me!" Tony grunted. As he pistoned his hips, he held Dillon's head down.The air in his lungs had started to become laden with carbon dioxide, but he wasn't allowed up. Even if he
Back at the apartment, Dillon piled the stuff they brought up in the guest room. Since the guest bedroom was so very rarely used, it was the perfect storage space for their chairs, fold up tables, coolers,
"Look here," Dillon said softly and he gently turned Tony's face to look him in the eye. He'd looked away as emotion had threatened to overwhelm him. "I… can't change the past, but I can assure you of yer future. Tony, you'll
As the hand that gripped Dillon's right wrist tightened and pulled slightly, he groaned softly and took another breath. What were his options? The arm around his neck was a no-go, but if he could free his right arm, perhaps he'd have the leverage to flip him? If he could pry his thumb off, he could break his grip. 'Fuck! That's out too!' Dillon thought bitterly as he

"Fine," Tony spat as he lifted Justice up by the front of his hoodie and slammed him against the trash can again loudly before he abruptly let go.There was a look of exasperated shock on Justice's face as he caught his breath from the adrenaline. He looked from

"Good man, I'm glad to hear. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Such simple, innocent times, eh?" Tony yawned and gave a content stretch. Dillon could relate, his body was pleasantly heavy and his vision had a warm fuzziness edge to it, if that made any sense.
