i've never really watched it?
i mean
i'll try but
i don't think i'd be as invested in it as you

[as for the whole dean thing-- yeah, he's not sure he really wants to ask the question that's on his mind right now]

[coldlenny]

It's okay if you aren't that invested. I'm sure you'll have fun anyway.

Unless you really hate it, in which case we can do something else instead of hockey. I don't mind! I just want to do something fun with you, and Dean needs a little confidence with his gal.

[speedforcer]

as long as you'll buy me a dozen hotdogs
i'll go
ᕕ( ՞ ᗜ ՞ )ᕗ




is dean just a friend
or is he something else?

[well, so much for not asking]

[coldlenny]

One dozen hotdogs for your presence. It's a deal.

You sure you want the details?

[speedforcer]

no details
i think i've already got your answer



why do you want me to meet him?

[coldlenny]

I think you probably assume worse than it is.

No particular reason, Barry. I think you'd like him, though. He's a hero type. If you don't want to meet him, we don't have to do this.

[speedforcer]

you're sleeping with him
that's all i need to know
we're not exclusive len
i know that

i'll go
it's fine
you're buying the hotdogs so that's good enough for me

[coldlenny]

Yeah okay, I'm sleeping with him.
But you're the only one that matters to me.
You and Sara.
That probably didn't help, did it?

[speedforcer]

len
i don't need you to explain it
i know how you feel about me
that's enough

[coldlenny]

Sure, okay.

So...next Saturday?

[speedforcer]

sure
next saturday

[speedforcer]

[AND THEN A MOMENT LATER--]

hey
i love you okay?
i'm just being an ass
(i think that means you're rubbing off on me)

[coldlenny]

You're not being an ass, I'M being an ass. But I also like you a whole lot, golly gee.

So long as you're not upset, that's all that matters.

[speedforcer]

okay never type that again
or say it
ever
grandpa

i'm not happy about it
but i'm not upset
i haven't forgotten where we are

[coldlenny]

Got it. Good. Fine.

I'll let Dean know we're on for Saturday.

[speedforcer]

alright

will you watch a game with me first though?
i don't want to look like a complete idiot when we're there
(also i'd rather learn about it from you than a book)

[coldlenny]

Sure~ That'd be fun. We can go tonight.

[speedforcer]

i was talking more
at home
in bed
clothes optional?

[coldlenny]

Watching hockey on TV is a completely different, boring, experience.

But your offer of clothes optional is tempting. Let's do it.

[speedforcer]

you just need to teach me the basics
and i'm a fast learner so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[coldlenny]

Yes, dear.

[Later on, Len sits on his sofa, ready for Barry's arrival. The game is just about to start. He's brought a six-pack of beer and a large tub of popcorn. He's also thrown on a bathrobe. Barry did say that clothing was optional.]

[speedforcer]

Honey, I'm home!

[it's his only warning before he's suddenly appearing on the sofa beside len, not wasting any time in snuggling in against his side. a few handfuls of popcorn later and he finally grins back over at the other man.]

It's not bed, but I appreciate the dress code. [considering he's already slipping his fingers underneath the flaps of len's robe. just enough so he can rest his hand on a bare thigh instead.]

[coldlenny]

[Len grins and wraps his arm around his speedy boyfriend, holding him close and humming with pleasure as Barry puts his hand on his skin. His own hand drops down and lifts the back of Barry's shirt, rubbing bare skin at the base of his spine.]

Well, I don't have a TV back there, and we can't watch hockey without a TV. [He gestures to the TV with his beer bottle] That was the plan, right?
