"I'm used to being bossy, shortcake." He set down a glass of milk and a plate of food in front of Graham, a fork on the plate. He kissed his cheek. "I hope you like it." He chuckled and went back to cooking his own food, soon enough singing again.
"Okay, well I'll find out, when you sit down then I'll start eating." It was a weird habit of his, and he said as he drummed his fingers on the table, "Okay?" After eating, he sort of just wanted to get back home so he could take spend some time with some of his kiddos, and well maybe so they could meet Evan as well.
(Saud?)
((?))
"Okay, well I'll find out, when you sit down then I'll start eating." It was a weird habit of his, and he saud as he drummed his fingers on the table, "Okay?"
(You typed out Saud???)
((oof, let me fix that…))
((ok))
"Alriiiight." He purred out as he finished up his own breakfast, and then sat down across from Graham, also setting down some salt and pepper and ketchup. He peppered his eggs, put some ketchup on the hasbrowns and began to eat. "Not the best, but it's alright. I hope you like it." He said this with a soft smile, silently observing Graham and the way he ate.
Graham chuckled a little bit, taking a bite of the eggs before putting salt and pepper on them. "Thanks for breakfast babe, you're the best." He said with a chuckle before eating the hashbrowns, "Actually well, these hashbrowns are a close second, but you're still the best Evan." He said with a chuckle, before noting that the other man was watching him, "Yes Evan, is something up?"
"Oh nothing handsome. I tend to people watch. I find the way someone eats says a lot about them, and how they see the world. Plus a face like that is hard to pry my eyes away from. And you're welcome." He smiled softly, and returned to his own dinner. He heard his phone ring in his other room. "Augh. That's gotta be the theater director. Always calls way to early. I'll give him a ring later. You're more important."
Graham rolled his eyes a little finishing off his eggs. "You are a flirt, you know that baby?" He said with a chuckle, looking back down at his food. 'Oh, you're doing a show? And you didn't tell me? I'm offended." They playfully gasped, "I guess you won't get to come over to meet the kids today then."
"Oh no no the show isn't until next week. I'm helping to paint and decorate. Not acting this time, just stage crew. Boring stuff." He shrugged. "And I know I'm a flirt. It's why you love me so much. Blame my sister, she taught me a lot of the ways of love. Besides. I like putting compliments where they are well deserved. If you want me to stop then I will. I'll come by once I'm finished, how about that? We're just doing some last minute prep work and a last run through of the show."
"Oh, well I'd like to see the show, what is it?" He said with a chuckle, now focusing on the hashbrowns. "I swear, your food is the best I've ever had." He said leaning back in the chair. "No, you never complimented me before all of this." He said with a sly smile, shaking his head. "But I don't mind at all dearest." He said with a smile, looking back over at the other man. "I'm sure the kids might be excited to finally meet you, you know?"
"It's Romeo and Juliet. Worst play ever. It's dumb and cheesy and unreal and…but. I'm not going to argue with our director. I'm just glad I don't have to play Romeo this time. Those weird pants were just SO itchy, and the tights showed off my bulge too much. All around a bad experience. Very happy with stage crew. Anygays, I'd love to meet your kids. And I bet they'd like to meet me." He nodded once and continued to eat.
"OOf, nevermind, maybe I won't go…" He said with a shudder. "I remember in highschool we did that play, but we genderswapped it, and I was Juliet." Graham chuckled awkwardly, "But well, if you'd like me to come I will, but well I don't know if the boys would like it." He shrugged a little bit, " But the two would love to meet you, although I don't know how happy they'll be to know that I have a boyfriend. I think they were okay that I was dating, but I don't know if they'll be happy with this."
"They'll warm up to me. It'll just take some time. Do remember I am the eldest of 16. I'm a master at getting children to at least tolerate my very existence." He then took a deep breath. "And at some point you'll have to meet my sister. A forewarning she's a bit…wild. And chaotic. And loud. But I adore her. Whenever she's in a sitch I usually end up being the keyboardist for her band, and I love playing her music. She's great at poetry too, oh what I would give to write words the way she does. A secret talent that's for sure. I'll slowly have you meet the rest of the Rosethorn Crew but my sister to start. She'd be mad if you met anyone else first." He chuckled and rolled his eyes as he began to finish up his plate. "And yeah, it's your choice if you come to the play."
"I mean, they're very sweer, and I think that they'll like you, but of course a dad still worries about this sort of stuff." He said with a chuckle, "Of course I'll meet her, and maybe I can bring my bass and jam along with you guys one day? But wow, I'd love to meet her, and listen to her music, I'm sure she's very talented. I mean, if she's just as talented as you are then I love to meet her, well either way I'd like to meet her."
"Baby. You're nervous rambling again~" He purred. "Hush up and finish your food you dork. We both have busy days ahead of us. And don't forget to bring the chinese home with you for the boys." He smiled and then finished up his food,stood up,and put his dishes in the sink, humming a bit to himself in just happiness.
"Can I help that though?" But he just rolled his eyes and finished up, before taking the plate and beginning to wash the dishes. He was a little bit of a neat freak, and although it wasn't his house he didn't think that it was fair for the other man to clean up after him. Once he was done, he gently kissed the man on the lips before taking his food out of the refrigerator, "Alright, I love you and I'll see you later, babe." He blew a kiss at the man before walking out the door towards his car.
He blushed and gave Graham a hug. "I love you too. And thank you for doing the dishes. Awful sweet of you." He then let him go, and watched Graham gather up his stuff and leave. He immediately rushed to the window, feeling like a young teenager as he watched Graham pull out of the parking lot. "HOLY SHIT MY BIKE IS STILL IN THE BACK OF HIS CAR!" Evan suddenly cried out. "Guess I have to walk there. And back." Evan groaned and went to go call his director, a bit of a heavy cloud now on his day.
By the time he had gotten home, he realized something, they had never taken out Evan's bike, "Dammit…" He mumbled, taking it out of his car as well as the food he brought for the kids. He walked into his home, placing the bike down into the hall before taking out his phone to text Evan, 'Hey, uhm, I kinda brought your bike home with me, would you like me to pick you up and stuff? Maybe I can bring the kiddos with me and then we can do lunch or something?' He felt really bad about that as he walked into the kitchen, but when he walked into the kitchen and saw his sons in the kitchen. He grinned going over to to give the two a hug, before nodding at the sitter who had been with them the whole night. He had already paid her so there wasn't much else for her to do here. "So did you behave while I was away?" The two nodded before Drew pulled out a picture he had drawn, "Wow, that's really nice." He said hugging him, "So you two already had breakfast?" The boys nodded, "Now today you're going to meet Da-" He was cut off almost immediately when Carter began to laugh a little bit, "YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!?!?!" Great… Graham said, shaking his head, "I'm guessing you're happy about this?"
'Yes please that would be great. You pick where we go to lunch. Sucks I have to walk to the theater but oh well. Sorry about forgetting it. Tell me how the boys react to me and you being together, love.' He sent this text right as he walked into The Greek Muse theater. Already his crew was fast at work at finishing up some painting, so he set down his satchel and smoothie he had made the day before and never finished. Immediately he began to help the woman who was to play Juliet. She was really good at painting and had played Juliet a lot, so she was fine with helping stage crew. He laughed and talked, singing warm ups with everyone, all of them starting random rounds and such while they worked. He had been with this company for 3 years and new everyone pretty well. After they were finished warming up, Evan started in on The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture show, and soon enough everyone was doing show tunes. Assuming roles. Whoever wanted to sing the part would. The crew had their own rhythems they'd worked into everything.
((OOf this sounds a lot like my theater))
"Yes, I am dating Evan, and I'd like you to meet him, maybe today? How does that sound?" Drew just looked up at him in shock, almost as if he didn't know how to practice it, "B-but you, but we were happy without him. W-we…" He didn't continue before he started to cry, which sort of frustrated Graham. He glanced over at Carter who seemed pretty happy with the whole boyfriend situation, so he moved to hug Drew, "Hey, it's alright-"
"No it's not alright, he'll take our love from us."
"He's not going to take my love from you, I promise," Drew said, shaking his head a little bit., "No one could take my love away from you."
"B-but then why are you dating him? We don't need another dad, one is enough." Drew said, whining a little bit.
"I know you might not like the idea of having him around, but I promise you that once you meet him, you'll really like him, okay? Just try getting to know, him for me?" Graham said quietly, trying to calm his son down.
"Y-yeah, I guess, but if I don't like him I won't have to be around him, promise?"
"I guess so…"
It was a few hours before Evan was able to head home. "11:30. Nearly lunch time…Oh yeah hey Liam!" A buy with black curly hair and enchanting green eyes, with high cheek bones and a winning smile came over and gave Evan a small waist hug. "Hey Sparkles. I was wondering. Would you like to go out tonight? You had mentioned looking for a boyfriend…go out for a few drinks? Maybe see a movie?" "Ah no Liam I'm alright. I actually just started dating someone. But thanks for the offer?" He pushed Liam off a bit and smiled. "See ya round Lee. Don't cause any trouble." (Yes Liam will try to sabotage them. Because he's one of my favorite pricky jealous side characters) Evan finally headed out the door and ran all the way home, hands and face covered in paint. Him and 2 of his friends had gotten into a mini-paint war, before their director stopped it and told them to keep working. As soon as he went in the door he took a shower, trying to scrub off as much as he could. After that he changed into a blue and black plaid shirt, a pair of thin black sweats, and some white converse. He didn't want to dress to feminine and freak out the boys just yet. He then called his sister on tips, since she used to baby sit a lot and he wanted to pack an activity bag. He dumped out an old green string backpack, and put Mario Kart and Call of Duty, depending on the age of the boys. He then grabbed a tin of cookies, stuffed in 2 puppy dogs made out of white clay, with painting supplies with them, and for his lover? He nabbed a dark black hoodie that was 3 sizes to big. It had 'Strut Your Stuff! 2015 Pride Parade' on the front of it. He tied that around his waist, and texted Graham. "Alright. I'm ready when you are."
(Oof, Liam does sound dope though)
'Mmkay babe, I'll see you in ten.' He had already placed his bike into his trunk and was now trying to convince Derew to get into the car. Carter -who was curious to meet his dad's boOooOoyfriend, as he liked to say it- was already in the car. While Drew was hiding out in his room. "Look Drew, he's not going to interfere with anything that we normally do, he'll just add to it. We'll still do our kills and stuff, it'll be fine, just don't mention any of that to him." He mumbled, picking him up and carrying the boy to the car. He strapped him into his car seat before going to the driver's seat and climbing in, "Okay, we're going to go somewhere nice to eat, no McDonalds or anything, so I don't want to hear any complaints on that, alright? I want you both to be on your best behaviour, and to not scare the waiters or Evan as a matter of fact that your arm can come off Carter And Drew, no threats or pouting, alright?" He said looking in the rearview mirror at the two. The two mumbled a quiet "Yes sir" and they were off, driving towards Evan's apartment.
Evan was sitting on the stair steps,talking to Evelyn still. "Look how about this. I come over tomorrow and if you need ANY help with dealing with the kids I'm just a text away okay?" His sister spoke to him through the line and he nodded, taking a few deep breaths. "Oh he's here." "Good look 'An! Knock em dead!" "Thanks Ev'. I hope I don't. I'd like em alive." He then hung up, took a few deep breaths, and stood up. He swung the bag over his shoulders, and headed over to the passenger side and clamored in, and looked back. "Hello boys. I'm Evan. I've heard so much about you too. Your fathers pride and joy really. It's nice to finally meet you to." He held out a hand for them to shake, the other one setting down the bag and buckling himself in.
Drew glanced up at Evan, moving as robotically as he could to freak the other man out. Carter swatted his arm and shook Evan's hand glaring at Drew, "You heard what dad said, we have to behave." He whispered at him before smiling back at Evan, "Thank you sir." He said with a grin before letting go of the other man and placing down in his lap. Graham leaned over to give the man a kiss before pulling out of his parking spot and driving down the street. "You look really nice babe. So uhm, we decided to go to that new Italian restaurant downtown if that's cool with you."
"Oh I love italian. Totally fine with it. Drew nice moves there. You should get him into acting. His strong character could be good for the stage. And I am always down to train him. And Carter you are such a sweetheart. I brought some crafts and videogames to do with the boys, I hope you don't mind. Had to run to the dollar store for some of this stuff." He smiled and then looked down at his hands, and began to pick a bit at the paint. "Oh and drop the Sirs. Please just call me Evan. I hardly deserve such a title." (And in one sentence Evan has revealed he is a kinky bottom) He gets a call from Liam and immediately hangs up. "Oh! I got asked out today." He said in an annoyed tone. "This guy named Liam. He's part of the theater group I work with. We aren't super close, but it made me feel all warm telling him I already have someone." He smiled softly and kissed Graham's cheek.
Drew grumbled a little bit more, before turning away so he wouldn't have be looking at Evan anymore. Carter pinched him in the side before smiling back over at Evan, "Thank you, Mr. Evan?" He glanced into the rearview mirror as if to check with Graham if that was alright. Graham nodded as if to give his okay while blushing all the while (because he would never mind being called that), and Carter smiled happily, "Thanks, Evan?" Graham looked back over at Evan ad sighed a little bit, "They are sweethearts normally, but Drew isn't too happy to think about you know, us? He's a bit jealous." He said quietly, before hearing Evan's phone ring, "Oh, I hope that he doesn't make too many waves, maybe he'll be nice to hang around, who knows?"
"Maybe. Anyways. Drew, I have a lecture already prepared for your jealousy. This isn't the first time I've dated someone with jealous kids. Hopefully it's the last. I really do like you Graham." He put his head on his shoulder and kissed his jaw a bit with a smile. "And your welcome boys. Let's hope we have a wonderful evening."
