“I’ve told him there’s no way he’s coming home with a puppy,” Seth said after Sam placed their plates in front of them.
Dev grinned. “Yeah, I think Weasley wouldn’t know what to do with a dog not used to cats.”
“Speaking of the little guy, have you made the appointment for him yet?” Seth asked, poking into his veggie lasagna.
“Yeah, day after tomorrow, midday.” Dev grunted. “Poor fellow, losing his balls.”
“You know we have to. It’s not fair for him to keep them.”
“No. And he’s definitely old enough now. Alex said she could’ve done it sooner, but she said there’s no harm doing it now.” Then he chuckled. “Can we not talk about balls being chopped off while we eat?”
“Agreed.”
“Leaf hates that he won’t be there, since he’s leaving tomorrow evening,” Dev said after a while of silent enjoyment of the meal.
“Yeah. Maybe we need to make sure he feels extra loved tonight?” Seth asked, grinning.
“Ooh… I like the way you think.”
AFTER THElibrary, they hauled home a ton of books on world history and art, and lugged them into the downstairs study.
“That should last you a while.”
“At least Leaf isn’t taking the SUV, in case you need more books,” Dev teased him, and earned a swat on his ass for being a pain. “Should we go find our man?” he asked once they were done arranging the books in a Weasley-proof way.
“Yeah, let’s do that. I could use a shower. He’s been out cleaning the RV today, so he needs one too, I think. Unless he beat us to it,” Seth mused.
“I like this plan.”
Dev went to start the shower, and Seth wandered outside to find Leaf. He was at the garage, stocking the RV with dog food.
“Who are you taking with you?” Seth leaned to the side doorway of the garage.
“Husky. You can have the girls here. I think Missy would be too much, and Weasley will need Grace as he recuperates.”
“Sounds like solid reasoning,” Seth said in a purposefully low voice.
Leaf turned to look at him and raised a brow curiously. “What’s going on?”
“How about you stop doing this and come upstairs with us? There might be one young man in the shower, waiting for us as we speak.” Seth smirked at the way Leaf’s eyes widened for a second.
“Oh, I don’t need to ask what the occasion is, do I?” The smile Leaf shot him was a little bit sad around the edges, but he still followed Seth out of the garage and into the house.
“No. We’ll get the rings tomorrow, but we want you to have something else to remember us by as well.” Seth lead Leaf by the hand on their way up the stairs and into the bedroom, where they got undressed.
“That so?” Leaf pulled his shirt off and got rid of his shoes by the door.
“Yeah. You get to call the shots, and after, we’ll watch a movie and then order some dinner. And then maybe we can do this again before bedtime, eh?” Seth wiggled his ass at Leaf, who chuckled but undressed faster before following him into the bathroom.
“Took you a while.” Dev leered at them openly when they fitted themselves into the shower cubicle.
It took a bit of organizing and superb limb control, but they all managed to just about fit there.
“I was just telling Leaf how he’ll get to call all the shots. But first, let’s make sure he’s all squeaky clean for us, eh?” Seth winked at Dev, who grinned and moved so he was behind Leaf and away from the spray.
“Oh yeah, we can do that,” Dev purred and took Leaf’s favorite shampoo. “I’ll make sure his hair is clean, you can wash the rest of him.”
“You guys know that ‘he’ is here too?” Leaf chuckled, but it turned into a moan when Dev dug his fingertips into Leaf’s hair and massaged the shampoo in.
