Peter
"Oh my god…" Peter said faintly, the words half groan, half awe. "He actually found a clone."
Beside him, his sister snorted inelegantly. "A clone? Please, Peter. You can't be that dense."
Peter looked at her. "Paige, what are you talking about? Do you see them out there? They're exactly alike." He shuddered, rubbing his arms to ward off a sudden chill.
"I see them," Paige said. She gave him a look. "The question is, do you?"
"Please speak English; one in this family who doesn't is more than enough."
Paige rolled her eyes. "If you can't see the obvious, I'm not going to point it out to you. I'm certain they will soon enough. God, you're an idiot."
"I am not!" Peter glared at his sister as she turned away. "What in the hell am I missing?"
"I'm going shopping," Paige said, ignoring him. "I'll be back around nine."
"Don't you have your own house?" Peter groused.
Paige gave him a smirk. "Don't you?"
"Not while she's pregnant, I don't," Peter muttered beneath his breath. "Bring back pizza." He winced as outside Jason and his new friend - what was his name? - almost ate fence chasing down a renegade rocket. "And a six pack. Jeez, I thought he was in college now."
Paige rolled her eyes again as she grabbed her purse and car keys. "You could just stop watching them."
"I can't. It's like watching a train wreck - only worse."
"Right," Paige said, shaking her head as she left out the back door.
Peter continued to watch his brother and - damn, what was his name? Carl? No. Kevin? Oh! Calvin. To watch his brother and Calvin continue to make attempts to blow up the backyard.
It was eerily like the days of his youth. Thank the lord above he now lived well across town and Jason had no interest in destroying his backyard. Though he really wished he'd stop calling in during his shows.
He watched, chortling, as Jason tackled his friend to prevent his being creamed by yet another wayward rocket.
It was no wonder Jason had been kicked off campus, if that was what he did indoors. He loved his brother to death, but man. Jason did not make it easy to live with him.
Peter continued to watch, idly sipping at a can of soda, as Jason and Calvin remained on the ground. They must be really worried about that rocket.
In the next instant, he was choking on his soda, tears blurring his vision as it burned in his nose.
That was not hiding from a rocket. Jeez, Jason was a Supreme Geek. Where'd he learn to do that?
Peter yanked the dining room curtains shut and stalked into the living room. "No damn wonder she was laughing at me…" He clicked on the TV, searching for anything containing scantily clad women to erase unwanted images.
Because love his brother as he did, he did not need an image of Jason making out with his "friend" in the backyard where he and Denise used to make out on the rare occasion his house was empty.
Several minutes later, right in the middle of an old rerun of Baywatch, the sound of the back door slamming and two young men laughing broke the happy oblivion Peter had achieved. He couldn't help but notice that they held hands until they reached the living room.
"You two should really get a room next time," he said casually.
Jason grinned, "You were watching us so avidly, I thought we'd give you a good show."
Peter set his soda down before he hurt himself again. "Yeah, yeah. I didn't know you were causing mass mayhem with your boyfriend. You kinda failed to mention that part."
"Boyfriend?" the two said together. Jason looked at Calvin, Calvin looked at Jason.
"Uh, yeah. I hear that's what they call it. Unless you're more the fling sort."
Jason blinked. "Never really thought about it. We just…hang out." He looked at Calvin, still blinking and looking dazed.
Peter realized it was time for him to leave. "Mom and dad will be back around eleven, but Paige will be back around nine." Grabbing his keys from the coffee table, Peter vanished out the back door. He shook his head, wondering how he could have been so damned oblivious. The way those two had looked at each other - Peter knew that look.
It guaranteed Calvin would be around for a long, long time if Jason had anything to say about it. He shook his head and grinned as he pulled out of the drive, catching sight of the two men kissing for all they were worth in the middle of the living room.
Movie Night
"Kill the girl! Kill the girl!" Calvin shouted at the movie they were watching, snarling in frustration when the half-naked blonde on the screen blundered her way to safety yet again. "Argh, why do the stupid women always win in these things?"
"They're too stupid to die?" Jason asked with a grin, eyes more on the man pressed against him on the couch than on the zombies and blonde bimbo on the TV. He let his free hand wander, fingers tracing random patterns along Calvin's ribs and side, the other propping his own head up so he could see both Calvin and the movie.
He loved the way Calvin squirmed just a bit, trying not to show that it sort of tickled, sort of felt nice, and let his fingers wander down to end of the shirt, only to sneak under it and then back up.
Then Calvin did squirm, twisting until he'd trapped Jason's hand between their bodies. "I'm trying to watch the movie."
"I'm trying to distract you," Jason said with a grin. "Guess which one of us is winning."
Calvin somehow how managed to plant an elbow in Jason's ribs before turning back so that he was half facing the movie. The problem, Jason thought, with dating someone as skinny as he was, was that Calvin knew all too well how to inflict harm on a bony person.
Like a bony elbow between Jason's ribs.
"You're so feisty when we watch zombie movies."
Calvin smiled, though his eyes were still on the blonde woman - currently primping in a mirror but somehow not noticing the zombie standing right behind her. "That's because these stupid women always save the day despite the fact that they probably get lost in their own house. And they get the guy. Are all straight men that stupid?"
"Maybe they're just that desperate?" Jason asked absently, nibbling at Calvin's ear.
"Stop that," Calvin said.
"Make me," Jason replied, smirking.
Calvin twisted to look at him again, leaning up to kiss Jason hard on the mouth. "I haven't seen this one. How about I bribe you?"
"What sort of bribe are we talking?" Jason asked, more interested in the way Calvin's mouth still tasted like popcorn and bubblegum ice cream.
"Let me finish watching this movie and then we'll watch Star Wars." Calvin licked Jason's lips, and pulled back smirking.
Jason remembered what happened the last time they'd watched his favorite movies. "Consider me bribed."
"Good," Calvin said, and turned back around to watch his zombie movie.
Peter
"Oh my god…" Peter said faintly, the words half groan, half awe. "He actually found a clone."
Beside him, his sister snorted inelegantly. "A clone? Please, Peter. You can't be that dense."

Date: 2005-05-16 09:02 pm (UTC)Imitation is the sincerest form of flatery
Date: 2005-05-17 05:13 am (UTC)"Your family knows about me?" Calvin shouts back to Jason from his recently acquired spot on the couch.
Jason comes into the living room to sit down next to the lounging Calvin. "No, but the invitation is to Jason Fox and Guest, so I'm allowed to bring a guest."
"That was probably just put there out of courtesy, in case you got a girlfriend or something." Calvin responds sounding a little sad.
"But I don't have a girlfriend, I have you. And you're much better than any silly girlfriend could ever be." Jason says leaving over to give Calvin a quick kiss.
"You really want me there?" Calvin looks disbelieving.
Jason without any hesitation replies "Yes."
"If you really want me there, I'll come." Calvin says.
Jason's face breaks into a huge grin, "Good. Remind me to send back the response card tomorrow. Now, what about heading to bed?"
"But it's so comfy here" Calvin says while snuggling into Jason "and there's great entertainment" he says motioning to the tv.
Jason extracts himself from Calvin's cuddling, and stands. "I think we can find ways to entertain ourselves in the bedroom" Jason teases, pulling Calvin to his feet.
Calvin leans in to capture Jason's lips in a kiss.
As they break apart he murmurs "I think you're right."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The phone is ringing as Jason enters his apartment. He runs to answer it before it goes to his answering machine. "Hello?"
"Is that how you answer your phone young man," a disapproving voice comes through the phone.
Great, it's mom, Jason thinks rolling his eyes. What he says is "Hey Mom, how are you?"
"Good. A funny thing happened today though. We got your response card to the wedding and it said you were bringing a guest. This guest better not be a stripper, or some type of joke. You're on thin ice with Paige as it is" his mom says.
"When am I not on thin ice with Paige?" Jason shoots back.
"Jason" his mom's warning tone not joking at all.
"It's not a joke. I know this is important, and I'm not planning anything to ruin the wedding." Jason concedes.
"Jason" his mom says this time sounding proud and amazed. "That's so mature of you."
"Thanks." Jason says.
There's a short, awkward pause before Jason's mom continues. "Well then, I'm gonna let you go. I have a zillion things to do myself, with this wedding and all."
"Okay mom." Jason replies. "Bye."
"Bye sweetie, love you." Jason's mom says before all Jason can hear is the dial tone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Calvin heard the doorbell ring but he was too busy freaking out to go downstairs and open it. "Hey, what are you doing?" Jason asked.
"Oh hey" Calvin said suddenly startled out of his pacing and muttering.
"What are you doing?" Jason asks again, sitting down on Calvin's bed in what likes like a closet explosion.
"Oh, just having a nervous breakdown." Calvin calmly throws out.
"Okay" Jason starts before he realizes what Calvin said. "Wait, why?"
Calvin looks at Jason like he's crazy before starting "Because I'm going to my boyfriend's sister's wedding this weekend, his family has no idea I exist, and I have nothing to wear."
"What's wrong with your normal clothes?" Jason asks.
"Fucker, I mean like wedding clothes." Calvin says.
"You don't have a suit or something?" says Jason.
"Yea, but I don't like it, I look bad in it. I'm too tall and skinny, and it doesn't fit right and that still doesn't solve the problem of what shirt to weak, and what tie and..." Calvin rambles on.
During this Jason jumps up from his spot on the bed, realizing there's a lot more to this that what to wear, he's never known Calvin to be vain, and he pulls Calvin into an embrace cutting off the ramble. "Shhh... they're going to love you" he says.
"But how do you know? What if they hate you for being gay, or what if they hate me for making you gay, or what if they're fine with you and just hate me for some other reason, like having a crappy suit." Calvin starts rambling again.
Jason stops him this time with "They're going to love you because I love you." That wasn't what Jason was going to say, but it's the truth, and now Calvin knows.
the rest (stupid comment word limits)
Date: 2005-05-17 05:16 am (UTC)Jason enters his house with Calvin trailing nervously behind him. "Hey Mom" Jason calls out, seeing her in the kitchen.
Hearing this, his mom jumps up and meets him in the living room enveloping him in a giant mom hug. "Hello sweetie" she says before pulling away. "And who is this?"
"I'm Calvin." Calvin offers cautiously.
"He's my boyfriend." Jason adds.
His mom gives him and incredulous look and says "You expect me to believe that?"
"What?" Jason can't believe what he's hearing.
"You said you weren't pulling any stunts this time." Jason's mom yells at them.
Calvin feels uncomfortable and looking for a reason to leave says "Uh, Jason, I'm gonna take our stuff to your room, which one is it?" he asks.
"Upstairs, second door on the right" Jason says distracted before Calvin leaves the room to disappear upstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Calvin has been sitting on the bed in Jason's childhood room taking everything in for a few minutes when Jason storms in angry and shaking.
"I can't believe it. She thinks this is some sort of elaborate joke." Jason tells Calvin, hands gesticulating angrily.
Calvin grabs one of Jason's hands and pulls him down next to him and putting his arm around him, not sure what to say.
"She thinks you're here as some giant wedding prank of mine. And then she went off on me being immature and selfish, saying how Paige is going to kill me and that it's Paige's weekend. And..." Jason's anger cracked and now he was almost sobbing "and someday if I ever grow up I might understand love and what this weekend means."
Now Jason really is sobbing, into Calvin's shoulder. Calvin rubs his back in a soothing manner. "Shhh. Everything's going to be okay. I love you. And this is the most real feeling I've ever had" Calvin reassures him.
After a few minutes Jason pulls away, sniffley nose and bloodshot eyes. "Really?" he asks.
"Really what? That I love you? Yea. That you make me smile more than anything else in my life? Yea. That you better be in this for the long haul, because I am? Yea. Everything's the truth." Calvin says.
"Well then, what do you say we ditch this whole shebang and head to Vegas for a quicky wedding?" Jason asks, a smile finally breaking on to his face.
Calvin, glad to hear Jason joking again, responds "I don't think that would inspire any confidence in us among your family. How about you go wash up and show me around this town of yours. Maybe you could point out a good burger joint?"
"I think I know just the place." Jason says, heading to the door to go to the bathroom. But before he gets there he stops and turns around "And Calvin, I love you too. And it's a good thing you're not planning on leaving me because I'm not letting you go."
