Well, I've seen porn! " Evan defends and Dan just looks at him. "Okay, captain Pornie, walk me through it, " Dan challenges. "I'll be the pizza guy, and Jeff can be the plumber. You can be.. hey, why don't you be the high-powered young executive?" Evan grins at him with a glint in his eye. "Okay, fine." He laces his fingers together and flexes them in front of him as if he's warming up. He sits back in chair and his eyes focus on the eaves of Jeff's roof then begins.

"You stick your spigot in me, I wouldn't be the one topping anymore."" Nice. You freak." "You're the one who wanted to make maple syrup out of my sappiness, " Evan protested.. . Kate Sherwood

The three of you were pretty cute last night, with all that touchy-feely crap."" Yeah, that lasted for about two minutes before you dragged Evan back over to the bar."" Dude, we were hunting Turkey. [drinking bourbon] it was important." Chris grins. "That boy can drink, I'll give him that." "That's big of you. From the way you were hanging off each other by the end of the night, I was thinking I might get Jeff all to myself." Chris shoots him a look. "Is that what you want? If you had your way? Just Jeff?" Dan Isn't really ready to answer that question, not even from Chris. "Wow, you'd switch teams just for me? You'd steal Evan away just so I could take his boyfriend? That's sweet man, really." Dan knows that Chris recognizes the deflection, but he lets Dan get away with it. "That's the kind if friend I am, Dan. Maybe you should take a lesson - the next time I need a wingman in a straight bar, it wouldn't kill you to step up." "Yeah, okay, I'll keep that on mind. Kate Sherwood

I've never really learned how to do this. When we hunted, we had people to take care of what we caught."" I thought you hunted with birds."" We did."" So the birds caught the animals, other people cleaned them... When you say 'hunting, ' do you really mean 'going for a walk'? Kate Sherwood

So he slips his head off of Jeff's shoulder and slides out from under Evan's Armand shuffles down to the bottom of the bed. It doesn't have a lot of dignity this part of their sleeping arrangement.

Do you like my brother?" And there goes Dan's confidence. He keeps his eyes resolutely on the field. "Uh.. yes? I mean.. I think everyone likes your brother, don't they?" She leans over and gives him a little hip check. "No, you know what I mean. Do you /like/ him?" Dan just states out at the horses, hoping that one of them will do something, anything, to distract this girl from her question. But the horses just keep grazing and Tat continues. "'Cause he likes you. I mean, he likes Jeff, too, but.. you can like two people at once, right?" "Uh.. yes? I think you can like two people at once." "Yeah. I know it's none of my business or whatever, but.. I just wanted to make sure you know.. if you like him, that's cool with me. I mean, I like Jeff too, but.. you know." Dan has a brief moment of wanting to shake her. No, he /doesn't/ know. Is everything really so clear to everyone but him? Is he just adding extra complications where they don't need to be? Then he remembers that he's talking to a fifteen-year-old girl. Maybe she shouldn't be the arbiter of what's simple or complicated. He realizes that she's still waiting for a response from him. "Okay, well.. thanks for letting me know." "Are you guys going to, like.. date?"" Sweet Jesus, Tat, I don't know! " Possibly that's a bit of an overreaction, but she looks more amused than upset. "All right, all right.." She gets a mischievous look in her eyes. . Kate Sherwood

...leaning down for a quick peck on Jeff's lips, and then he starts squirming and rearranging and manhandling until somehow they end up with Dan in the middle, Jeff stretched out on his left side, Evan on his right. Dan isn't really sure how that happened, and he's not at all confident that it's a good idea. Kate Sherwood
