“I…have no idea. But they seem into it.” Ryan had shrugged. “So, truth time. I may have…um, invited him to, uh, join the three of us. Later.”
“Yeah? So, we’re havin’ orgies now, eh?”
“I mean, would you…wanna?” Ryan had asked shyly.
“Rook,” he’d said, taking Ryan’s hand, then laughing. “I…whatever.”
The four entered the apartment, Koski, Ryan, and Hayes all taking a seat on the sectional as TK went straight to his room. Within a few minutes, he reemerged with his backpack slung over one shoulder. Hayes immediately took notice of the little yellow crocheted chick that was hanging off the zipper.
Awww.
“You ready?” he said to Koski, who stood up.
“Yeah.”
Ryan and Hayes both looked at each other, then at the other two.
“Um, can we…” Ryan pointed toward the kitchen, and he and Koski exited stage left, leaving TK and Hayes in the living room. “What are you…you’re going? With him?” Hayes asked, trying his hardest not to sound like a jealous girlfriend.
TK nodded. “You and pretty…you and Ryan need to spend some time together. Alone. Besides, he’s…really fuckin’ hot.” Then, remembering that Ryan had been messing around with him, offered, “Not as hot as you, though. Of course.”
Hayes just looked at him.
“Hey?” TK said gently, bringing a hand to Hayes’s chin, tilting it up, and kissing him softly on the lips. “Spend some time with your man. Don’t worry about me. You told me I should kiss some other guys anyway, remember?” He winked, but Hayes remained unaffected. “What is it, baby?”
“I don’t…you don’t know him. I just don’t wanna…I don’t wanna see you get hurt, Teek.” Though he didn’t want to admit it, Hayes felt it was his duty to protect TK, especially knowing what’d happened to him when he was younger.
“I’m fine. I’ll text you tomorrow, OK?”
“You’re staying?” Hayes raised his voice, his eyes widening.
TK laughed. “Yes, Dad. Is that alright with you?”
Hayes rolled his eyes, taking TK’s hand in his. “Call me the second you need somethin’, OK?”
Squeezing his hand, TK nodded and turned to head down the hallway toward the kitchen, stopping when he heard Ryan was having a similar conversation with Koski.
“You need to spend time with your boyfriend, Baylor.”
“Joss, listen. He’s…TK, he’s…just please be careful with him, OK?”
Awww.
“What do you mean ‘be careful’, Baylor?”
“He’s in recovery. Which means no alcohol, no weed, nothing. I don’t even want him having too much sugar. You understand me? He cannot fuck this up. He’s doing amazing and he’s only got a few weeks left. Please don’t…”
Koski poked Ryan’s chest and pursed his lips. “You care about him.”
Ryan nodded. “Very much.”
Awww.
TK cleared his throat as he entered the kitchen. “You, uh, ready to head down, baby?”
“I’ll walk you guys out,” Ryan said, leading them down the hallway to the front door and opening it for them. As Koski left, Ryan pointed at him, “Remember what I said. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Then as TK accompanied him, Ryan grabbed him by the arm. “You? Behave. And hey: if you need to come back, just call. I mean it, Travis. Behave.”
He nodded, smirking. “Thank you,” he said softly, following Koski out as Ryan shut the door and locked it behind them.
