It’s been a whirlwind week since we admitted we’re in love.
Amazingly, Theo was able to get in with the eye specialist quickly, and he does in fact have convergence insufficiency, but they also found out he has deficient saccadic eye movements. He hasn’t started his vision therapy yet, and of course, insurance doesn’t pay for it because it would make too much sense for insurance to pay for people’s needs, but between Theo, his parents, and me, one way or another, we’ll make it happen.
Me, Dad, and Ty spent most of this week together. It’s been cool seeing Ty with our dad, the three of us getting to know each other and, well, Ty and I ganging up on him when need be. Tomorrow we’re going to lunch, with Theo and Brax too, before Dad and his wife head back to Boston. It was nice of her to let us have this much-needed time together, just the three of us.
“You have to admit it’s the perfect costume for us,” I reply, trying to latch the leather harness I’m wearing. While puppy play isn’t part of our lifestyle, we figured it would be fun for Halloween. “I’ve always wanted to be a leather daddy,” I tease.
“You’re a dork and as far away from a leather daddy as you can get.” Theo takes over for me, fastening the last part of the harness beneath my underarm.
“That’s Yes, Daddy to you!”
He pinches my nipple, making me squeal.
“You’re not being a very good puppy.”
“Can we go downstairs and party now?”
Most of the time we stay at my house because it’s quieter, but since the party is here, we decided this was the best place to get ready.
I take the hood from Theo and lower it onto his head. He’s shirtless too, both of us just in jeans other than his hood and my harness. This shit ain’t cheap, so we didn’t go all out.
“Such a cute puppy.” I smack his ass.
“How did I let you talk me into this again?”
The rap music has the floors vibrating, and it gets louder as we make our way downstairs. People are drinking, smoking, and laughing.
“Holy shit!” Casey says as soon as he sees us.
“Hot, right?” I reply, motioning to Theo, who is probably rolling his eyes at me.
“How come Casey gets to be a ninja and I’m a puppy?”
“Are you forgetting this was your idea?” I can’t see his cheeks, but there’s no doubt in my mind that he’s blushing.
“Aw, you look cute, Theo,” Casey says, then turns to me. “Some of the DIKs just got here. Looks like things are gonna start getting wild.”
He slips away as I cock my head at Theo… “DIKs?”
“It’s a frat. They’re really delta something or the other.”
“Convenient excuse. I think really everyone who goes to FU is just really fucking queer and they don’t know it yet.”
A group of loud guys storm the living room, quieter and to the back I see… “Is that guy a tree?” He’s a big dude with arms like branches. Beside him is another guy with curly hair and pouty lips who’s some kind of leaf or something. He keeps tugging on his green shirt and pushing his own leaves out of the way.
“It appears so.”
“See? Our costumes are way cooler than theirs. Dance with me.” I pull Theo to me, the two of us moving to the music together. We’re at it long enough to slightly get sweaty before we stumble against the wall where the tree guy has his arms around the leaf guy, the two of them talking. “You guys lost a really bad bet,” I tease.
“Perry!” Theo elbows me. “His brain-to-mouth connection is broken.”
The tree chuckles. “I have one of those too.” His branch arm wraps around his man again. “And plants are cool.”
“Or…you know…dorky,” the leaf says.
“What are you?” I ask.
“Poison guy-vy.” He grins, clearly proud of himself for this idea.
Both Theo and I laugh, because I have to admit, it’s a good one.
“I mean…I think plants can probably be pretty cool,” Theo replies, poison guy-vy crossing his arms.
“Slow your roll, doggie. No hiking your leg on him. The only one who gives my man golden showers is me.”
“Oh my fucking God,” I snort. “I love this guy.”
“Uh, yeah. Just to be clear, we don’t do that. I’m Harrison and this is Benny.”
I shake the branch he holds out to me. “Perry. This is my boyfriend, Theo, and no worries from him, the only territory he marks is me.”
“Um…we don’t do that either,” Theo says. “Well…not with pee… Maybe with other stuff…I guess we have with cum but—” His words cut off completely as he realizes what he said.
The tree and poison guy-vy crack up laughing while I pull him close. “Silly puppy. I love it when you word vomit embarrassing shit.”
