I don’t want our boy fretting about the status of our relationship. He’s ours, exclusively.

Blake:We can’t do anything, though. I mean… no sexy stuff. Not with Lexi sleeping upstairs. Corey would freak if she caught us.

Gabe:Understood.

It’s not as if parents the world over don’t have sex while their kids are sleeping—or maybe even awake if they’re quiet about it—but I get that Blake doesn’t want to run the risk of upsetting his brother. And being caught naked with two guys would be pretty hard to explain to a five-year-old.

Blake:I’ll understand if you don’t want to come.

Cal:Why wouldn’t we?

Blake:Because we won’t be able to do anything.

Gabe:Oh, baby boy. There’s lots we can do that doesn’t involve sex.

Cal:Like talking.

Gabe:Playing a game.

Blake:The last game we played ended with us all naked and jacking off.

Gabe:Not that kind of game. I was thinking more like Scrabble or Monopoly.

Cal:I call the dog if we do.

Gabe:Or we could watch a film together.

Blake:I’m good with anything as long as I get to see you.

Blake:Fuck, that sounded needy. Sorry.

Gabe:Go ahead and be needy. We want to see you too.

Blake:Lexi will be in bed by 8, so come over any time after that?

He sends us his address.

Gabe:We’ll be there, baby boy.

I’m looking forward to seeing his home and spending time with him and Cal.

Blake:I was good today.

Gabe:Oh?

Blake:I got up early to take Lexi to the cinema so Corey could sleep in.

Gabe:Oh, so that’s why we got your pretty underwear shot so early?

Blake:Yeah. I had to get up at 7:30. 7:30!!!! Anyway, she had popcorn, and I took her for ice cream and McDonald’s afterwards.

Cal:That doesn’t sound like being good, princess.

Blake:I didn’t have any of it. I just sat and watched her eat. I was practically in tears, by the way, just so you both know. It all looked and smelt so good.

Gabe:Well done, baby boy. But I hope you ate something.

Blake:Salad.
