Copyright 2022 Hard Working Brothers Chapter 13 “I told you not to worry about it,” Jason said smugly as he loaded the cooler into the back of the SUV. With the tent and the rest of their gear, it was going to be a bit tight, but everything would fit in the end. Well, thanks to the roof rack, at least. “You can’t tell me you were right forever, you know.” Shawn said with a grin. He knew his brother wasn’t talking about everything fitting in the vehicle, but rather that they were using this vehicle in general. Truth be told, this was one of the few times where he was happy to be wrong. “I would never say that,” Jason replied smugly. He had wanted to go out to the mountains at least once this year, but it had been a busy summer. By the time that the two of them decided on a date, it ended up turning into a getaway for four. “You know, you can go back to living alone if you keep this up,” came the retort. It was an empty threat, as both of them well knew. Jason had quickly found some people to rent his house after they had made the decision to move in together, so going back wasn’t something he could do even if he wanted to. And neither of them was unhappy about having more time to spend with each other. The bigger man shrugged. “But then you’ll be the one having to go looking for hookups while someone else gets loud regular sex in the other room,” he said slyly. Over the past month, Jason had noticed that for a house with three men living in it, there seemed to be four settings at dinner quite a bit of the time. “Fine, you can stay,” Shawn chuckled. He had to admit, that things had ended up turning out better than he expected. Moving Jason in had been very painless, partially because Jason had left most of his furniture as part of the rental agreement, and he enjoyed the extra time he got to spend with his boyfriend. “How are you two so ready to go?” Zach yawned as he sauntered over to the vehicle to throw his backpack in. Early morning starts were definitely not his thing, especially not on days off. Jason raised an eyebrow at the distinct lack of baggage that the young man had hauled out. “Is that all you’re taking?” Zach shook his head, even as he tried to stifle another yawn. “No. Daine has a massive hockey bag. All our clothes and stuff is in there. That’s just phone chargers and snacks for us.” The blond came out with a very full looking bag over one shoulder, looking a little bit more awake than Zach — barely. His eyes were half closed as he tossed the hockey bag right on top of Shawn’s cooler in the back. After relieving himself of his burden, the stocky man sauntered over to his boyfriend, and the two of them just leaned against the side of the Tahoe. “I want breakfast,” Daine muttered. His hair was still a little damp from the shower, having been the last one to get to use it this morning. Over the past month, he had let his beard start to grow out. The summer sun had started to bleach it out a bit from exposure, giving him the look of a semi-civilized viking. He had become a lot more comfortable around the three of them, but still tended to be a bit more on the quiet side. “Don’t worry, we’ll get something on the road,” Shawn told him as he loaded the last of the camping gear in and gave the rear a good slam shut. There actually wasn’t that much gear to worry about. They were going to share a tent, since the only one that actually owned a tent was Jason. Jason had everything required for a nice time out in the woods, right down to the extra large air mattress. The tent was really meant for a full family, but the big man had picked it up on a deal and had enjoyed having the extra space. Other than that, it was just going to be the essentials for their getaway. Shawn smirked a bit as he looked at his apprentice and nephew trying to act like they didn’t want to run back into the house. Once Zach had heard about Jason’s plan to spend a few days in the mountains hiking and getting away from it all, he had started to make incredibly obvious overtures on how he would really, really, really appreciate an invitation to join. The redhead had tried to counter that it was originally planned as a couple’s activity, but that had only encouraged the apprentice into redefining the number of couples going. To his credit, Jason continued thinking it was adorable. The big man had felt like he’d missed a lot of stuff like this with his own son. His ex-wife hadn’t really been the sort to do things like this, and his son had always been closer to her than him, so Jason hadn’t done too many activities like this over the years. He had usually taken the tent out to get away on his own and clear his mind. The idea of being able to share it with his brother was too good to pass up, but he also secretly liked the idea of actually having a family trip the way he had had growing up. Both Jason and Shawn, however, knew exactly what was on the table with the four of them sharing a tent. They had agreed that they weren’t going to push anything, but if it turned out that Zach and Daine were up to something more than their usual coupling, then they wouldn’t say no either. And both of them had found the idea of messing around with another family member to be an almost irresistible. Shawn felt his pants get a little tighter at the thought of watching either of the younger pair getting railed by his brother while he plowed the other one. He pushed it to the side, however, and proceeded to finish locking up the house now that everyone was ready to go. “Do you want me to take the first shift driving?” The dark-haired man was always conscientious about driving someone else’s vehicle. Daine didn’t object, mainly because he only wanted food and more sleep, so they hit the road. *** “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be to get up here,” Shawn mused as he considered their bonfire. It had been a beautiful day. They had found their site easily enough, and the area was only half-full at best, so there was enough privacy between sites to suit them all. After getting the tent up and all, he and Jason had gone for a leisurely hike over to the nearby lake and sat on the shore for a bit before the sun started heading behind the peaks. “Yeah,” Jason said as he pulled his chair a little closer to his love. The big man couldn’t help but smile. Shawn had set up a nice fire for them, and in the growing darkness, he couldn’t help but notice how good his man looked in the flickering light. The firelight seemed to bring out the bright and warm colours in his brother’s massive beard, and gave a gentle cast to his eyes and slight smile. Jason reached over, and wrapped a big arm around the smaller man. Shawn made an appreciative sound and leaned into the embrace as Jason’s large mitt remained on his arm. “You’re getting bulkier,” he murmured cheerfully, squeezing his brother’s shoulder. “Pretty soon, we can wear the same shirts,” Jason laughed. The redhead snorted in good humour. “I wish,” he said with a smile. “I like it either way,” Jason said, whispering into his brother’s ear before sticking his tongue in. He was rewarded with a flinch, then continued, “You’re a fit, healthy stud of a man, and you’re all mine. Shawn shook his head and then turned abruptly to face his man. Between the quick motion and the required angle, the chair nearly gaziantep escort managed to fold itself back up with Shawn in it. The lean man barely noticed as he leaned in to a long kiss with his brother, appreciating exactly how lucky he was to have an amazing man in his life on such a beautiful evening. They were kissing for a while before a sudden exclamation broke their reverie. “Ugh, they’re using up all the romantic moments,” Zach said a little louder than necessary. A sudden clunk from the back of the Tahoe came almost immediately after, and by the time that Shawn and Jason had broken off their exploration of each other’s mouths, Zach was pulling up the other two chairs to the fire. Daine followed almost immediately, the burly blond dropping a cooler in between the chairs that Zach had brought over and the already inhabited ones. Soon enough, they were roasting smokies over the fire, sating their immediate hunger. It was a good thing that they had brought so much food, Jason realized as he chomped down the last of his dinner. He knew that it took a lot of protein to keep his engine running, but the other three weren’t slouches either. Between the four of them, they had pretty much inhaled everything that had been edible and in front of them. The good thing was that it meant that there wasn’t much more than wrappers and some disposable dining ware for them to take care of. The bad thing was was that there was still things to get rid of, so he started to collect and condense the waste. “Thanks again for bringing all this,” Daine said as he tossed his disposable cup into the big bag Jason was holding. They hadn’t really brought much up for dessert, just some drinks and some weed to end their nights. The four of them had already partaken in the latter, so it only made sense to end the night with a nice nightcap. “No prob,” Jason said cheerfully as he began to tidy up their site. He had made sure to bring lots of garbage bags, so they could take all their trash to the main bins easily enough. The fact that all four of them were smart enough to actually put their waste into the bag immediately made it a quick task. By the time that Jason and Daine finished up with the trash, Shawn and Zach had already packed everything that needed to go back in the Tahoe. “Bed?” The normally quiet blond said the word with an almost uncharacteristic eagerness. Jason shrugged, “Sure. Those two can figure out how to dowse the fire on their own.” He paused for a moment before adding, in a lower voice, “And we can go get ready for them.” The bigger man led the way into the tent. To say that his air mattress was large would be an understatement, considering it was easily larger than a king sized bed. He had brought enough bedding to ensure that they would all be warm and comfortable when the time for sleep came. Jason began to strip down, tossing his clothes into a pile. He was wearing the black jock that Shawn had given him, as usual. The jockstrap had quickly become his go-to gear, being comfortable as well as a pleasant reminder of his man. He adjusted himself, grabbing the pouch with one big hand, as he looked at the other man. The blond had chosen something a little flashier today. Daine was wearing a pair of very shiny gold boxer briefs that left very little to the imagination. They managed to show every curve of his ample ass, as well as highlighting a very nice package in the front. In the light of the shop light that they were using inside the tent, the burnished gold fabric seemed to catch the eye the same way that Daine’s blond hair also glowed when at the right angle. “Looking good,” Jason said admiringly. He hadn’t really realized how nicely built his cousin’s kid really was. The couple glimpses that he’d gotten before had told him that the young man was pretty solid, but the stocky, barrel chested blond was making the blood rush to his crotch right now. There was a lot of light coloured hair covering the young man, and Jason couldn’t help reaching out and stroking the kid’s chest once they both ditched their underwear. Daine made an soft growl, approving of the older man’s touch. “Can we get under the covers?” He looked up to meet Jason’s eyes, and found them looking over him hungrily. Daine led the way to the mattress, and the two of them covered themselves in the bedding. Once they were comfortable, the young blond reached out exploratorily, running a hand down Jason’s hairy chest. It was the first time that he had felt up a guy that had more hair than him, and it gave Daine a thrill to feel how warm Jason’s hard flesh was underneath his hand. The older man put his arms around the blond’s broad shoulders and pulled him in towards him. He felt the younger man’s erection push against him, hard a steel rail. While he let his hands gently roam across his flesh, Jason leaned in and gave Daine a long, open mouthed kiss. They made out of a while, feeling each other’s hard muscles and soft fur. “Ahhh,” Daine moaned as he broke off their kiss for air, “Uncle Jason,” he said as he ground his hard-on into the older man. He could feel Jason’s hard rod straining with arousal as Jason’s crotch rubbed under his balls. “You grew up to be a sexy little stud,” Jason murmured as he ran one hand down to Daine’s waist, slipping down to give himself a big handful of firm, hairy assflesh. He was rewarded by the younger man groaning and pressing his big chest into Jason. The tent door unzipped smoothly while they were exploring each other. “Well, well, well,” said Shawn as he poked his head in. “Would you look at this?” He said the words with a mischievous grin as he stepped in. Zach quickly followed, and he almost forgot to re-zip the door behind him once he saw what was going on. “Oh, Uncle Jason!” Daine barely registered the entrance of their partners as he continued to grind himself into the big man. The blond fireplug continued to be absorbed in physical sensation, not even noticing that Shawn and Zach were quickly stripping down to their skin. It wasn’t until he felt a second pair of hands start playing over his chest and a hard, pierced cock rubbing against his asscheeks that Daine realized what was happening. “Playing with my man instead of waiting for my boy,” Shawn breathed into the blond’s ear as he twisted Daine’s right nipple. He waited for the blond’s exclamation of pleasure to finish before he continued, “Somebody should fuck some manners into both of you.” The lean redhead reached down, and let his hand skim through the young man’s profuse hair until he found Daine’s thick bush. He wrapped his hand around the blond’s fat, hairy cock, and began to pump the thick uncut meat slowly while his own dick began to leak as it rubbed against Daine’s trench. “I want to-,” Daine hissed as Shawn began to nibble his way up his neck. He could see that Zach was doing something similar to Jason from the way that the big man’s eyes had rolled back in his head, but Jason’s body was blocking his view of what was going on. From the way that Jason had bucked forward, he guessed that Zach had begun playing with the taller man’s asshole. “Oh yeah?” Shawn gripped Daine harder at his exclamation, and made the stocky blond roll over to face him. Suddenly, his massive, rusty beard was pressing against the younger man’s front, the long, ruddy hair mixing with the short, golden fur. He could feel Daine’s fat cockhead press into his own bush while his own pierced cock rode the underside to poke against his hairy nuts. “Please,” the blond breathed as he felt Shawn’s dexterous fingers again start to play with his meat. Daine couldn’t believe how hard he was at that moment. Listening to the sounds of his boyfriend and uncle playing with each other behind him, as well as being pressed up against his other horny uncle, was sending his dick into overdrive. He wasn’t sure what he wanted more in that moment. “I want-” Again, the words caught in his throat as he felt Shawn force them together, his own dick being pressed against his uncle’s hairy, flat stomach. “He wants to fuck you guys,” Zach chimed in, taking a break from his own play with Jason. The two of them were only lightly groping each other, instead choosing suriyeli escort to watch their boyfriends make out. Zach was leaning over Jason, a smug, lazy smile on his face as he saw Daine flush bright red for a moment. The apprentice never got tired of how easy it was to make his boyfriend blush, since he thought it made his tough and rough man look absolutely adorable. “Heh, yeah,” the blond managed somehow to look innocent and sheepish as he tried to lean back to look at his boyfriend. Unable to crane his neck enough, Daine abandoned that effort and instead ground his cock into his uncle again. He grinned wildly as he slid under the covers, and brought his face down Shawn’s body to be face to face with seven inches of very hard pierced cock. Shawn groaned lustily as he felt Daine begin to go down on him. He flipped the blankets back, exposing the younger man’s shaggy head buried in his crotch. The shorter man had quickly taken him down to the root, greedily sucking at his prong. He heard Daine struggle a couple times as his PA struck the back of the young man’s throat, but the blond was undaunted and continued to swallow his meat. Shawn put a hand the cocksucker’s head, and forced Daine’s face down. He could feel the blond’s unkempt facial hair brush against his flesh, even as the younger man gagged around his prick. There was no lack of enthusiasm on the burly young man’s part. His eyes were closed, letting him focus on all the sensations he was feeling. Shawn’s cock was heavy in his mouth, and as he withdrew to better pay attention to the head, he could taste the pre-cum that his uncle was leaking copiously. It made him suck harder, and he slid one hand under Shawn’s tight ass and began to finger the lean man’s hairy hole. The redhead moaned appreciatively as he felt Daine continue his depredations. “Lube?” His question was directed at his brother, but Zach was closer to where Jason had set up their supplies earlier. The big man had made sure that they had everything that they needed for the evening at hand, and the bottle of silicone slickness made its way over in short order. Before he handed it over, Zach made sure to give his own fingers a fresh coating. He had already been sliding two fingers into Jason’s ass, and wanted to make sure that he had the big man nice and stretched. The way that Jason continued to push his muscular ass back against the apprentice only drove him to finger fuck the older man harder. Adding a third finger to Jason’s hole made the musclebear squirm in pleasure as they continued their foreplay. The bigger man spread his legs moreso, giving Zach better access to his hole. He felt the scruffy young man’s hand begin to tug on his nuts in time with the way that he was driving his fingers in and out of his hairy hole. Jason found his breathing getting a little shallower as he leaned into the haze of their earlier tokes, losing himself in the feelings. As he closed his eyes, he felt like he was almost floating in nothingness while incredibly talented hands did their thing to him. The sounds of their boyfriends going at it next to them seemed distant to Jason. As far as his mind was concerned, there was only him and the young stud that was causing his heavy balls to throb with need. Both of them had been too engrossed in their own fun to do more than react when they heard Shawn let out a long, satisfied groan. The redhead was almost bent in half as Daine had put his hands right in the backs of his knees and leaned forward to give himself optimal access. The fat head of Daine’s cock slid in without issue, thanks to the priming he had given the lean man. The barrel-chested blond was breathing heavily as he sheathed himself deep in his uncle. His body slowly began to move inside the lithe man, almost by instinct, as he tried to focus on what was going on. He was actually fucking the man that was the closest thing his boyfriend had to a father. He was fucking his uncle while his other uncle continued to mess around with his boyfriend. As he felt his balls slide against Shawn’s ass, he couldn’t help but have his attention drawn to the sexy stud he was fucking. A hairy, redheaded otter with a big beard, lean with hard muscle from a lifetime of hard work, yet still in his prime. Shawn grunted in satisfaction as he felt Daine’s battering ram slam into his prostate. It wasn’t quite as thick as his brother’s was, but it came close. He definitely hadn’t been expecting to be reamed out as expertly as when Jason went to town on his hole, but there were significant differences. Jason knew his own strength, and his hands were usually firm in hold, but gentle. Daine was more like getting railed by a pile driver stuck on maximum force. Looking up at the blond fireplug, there wasn’t any malice or even thought in his expression, only pure feral need. The wiry redhead was completely absorbed in the hard, heavy pounding being delivered to his backside. It was an erratic, strong rhythm that demanded that he be a willing vessel and nothing else. The only hint he had that something was going on was when he saw the stocky blond’s eyes widen and his mouth widen in a surprised grin. A trickle of drool threatened to drip from his tongue into the scruffy golden hair of his beard, already beginning to become damp with the sweat of sexual exertion. “Aw yeah, babe. You’re nice and ready.” Zach’s voice was thick with lust, and as Daine paused his assault, Shawn saw that the brown-haired apprentice had gotten behind the hairy top. Zach leaned around Daine’s stocky body, to hold a little brown bottle up for his man. Daine knew what to do, and after Zach took his own hits, he tossed it to Shawn. As the redhead began to take a deep huff of the poppers, he felt the weight on him change slightly as Daine was pushed forward. The blond moaned loudly, like a wounded animal, as Zach began to work his cut prong into a hairy, virgin hole. He didn’t know what to do with himself except just stay steady and deep inside of Shawn, his cock throbbing deep inside the engulfing warmth of his uncle. For a man who had never taken a cock before, Daine’s hole had been eager even as Zach had begun to finger him while he plowed Shawn. The brunette had had his work cut out for him, trying to loosen up a moving target, but he knew exactly what his man had wanted for this weekend. Daine had confided in him that he wanted to try some new things, one of which was bottoming for Zach. He had taken some fingers in their play together, but they had never been able to resist falling into their regular positions. The blond was glad he had waited, though, since the feeling of his boyfriend’s cock spearing deep inside him was almost too much for him to take. “Oh shit,” said Zach as he felt Jason line himself up to complete the family fuck train. Even though Jason had been priming him at the same time he had been working his man, he was still aware that this was going to be one of the thickest cocks he had ever taken. He wanted to really give the blond a fuck to remember, but at the same time, he knew that he needed to hold off for a moment and let Jason do his thing. The beefy apprentice let out a sustained moan as his hole was stretched. Jason’s beer can of a cocks slid in slow but steady, the big man knowing exactly the pace to use. Zach could do nothing but pant with excitement as he felt his hairy hole welcome the intruder deep inside him. His dick got even harder as Jason continued to impale him on his significant girth, making Daine’s virgin ass feel extra velvety around his length. Even as he tried to hold his ground, Zach could feel himself being forced deeper into his boyfriend, until finally he felt Jason’s hairy torso against his back, the muscular man’s body damp and hot to the touch. Daine began fucking again first, letting out a sustained moan as he slid deep into Shawn and then pushed himself back onto Zach. The blond couldn’t believe how good it felt to have his man deep inside him. As Zach began to move in counterpoint to him, letting them all enjoy a good rhythm, Daine only began to moan harder. Shawn had reached up and began to play with his nipples, which he appreciated rus escort almost as much as the way that the bearded man had been tightening his hole in time with the top’s thrusts. He found himself face to face with Shawn as Zach and Jason’s forceful poundings forced him further over. Unable to resist the handsome, bearded man in front of him, Daine began to make out with the man he considered an uncle. As he felt the older man’s tongue enter his mouth, the blond began to fight back with his own. Daine could faintly taste the echoes of rum and weed in Shawn’s mouth, overlaying the warm wetness as their saliva travelled between their maws. Shawn, for his part, was almost overwhelmed by the situation. He was riding high and following his body’s urges rather than any rational thought. Everything about the situation was a combination of his favourite things: group sex, legal intoxicants, and his favourite people. His cock was rock hard as it ground against Daine’s hairy belly, trapped in the wet results of his own leakage. Even if he wanted to stroke himself off, he wouldn’t dare to. He felt like his dick was on a hair trigger, the turgid length twitching involutarily with pleasure every time that Daine’s body moved forward to plow him deeper. As they continued in their chain, the air heavy with the scents of sex, sweat, lube, and poppers, the four of them found themselves in a place where words were unneeded. There was only harsh breathing, groaning, and grunting, overlaid by sounds of flesh slapping and rubbing against other flesh. Their hands were busy, grabbing and touching each other, holding fast at times, but also exploring the hairy musculature of each other. After what seemed like hours, Jason finally exclaimed, “I’m cumming!” The massive man slammed himself deep into Zach’s hole, his uncut six and a half inches as deep as it could get, before his thick load began to fill the teen. He hadn’t beaten off for a few days, so his prong spurted shot after shot into Zach. After a half-dozen spurts, Jason’s cock continued to churn the thick seed, driving the froth of his orgasm deeper into his brother’s apprentice. Zach let out a satisfied sigh as Jason’s momentum slammed him forward into Daine. Jason’s fat, pulsing cock deep in his hole had stimulated his prostate enough to send him over his own edge. He gripped at Daine’s broad, hairy back as he collapsed onto his man, his bushy goatee collecting the sweat as it dragged across the blond’s shoulder. He spoke not words into Daine’s ear, but just the loud exultation of a beast in rut. Even as Jason held fast in his own ass, Zach continued to hump his seed deep into his boyfriend’s beefy butt. The feeling of warm sperm filling him was enough for Daine, and he blew his own load. His already thick cock swelled further as what felt like a gallon of cum was pumped out by his balls. The blond was almost silent as his mind spun from everything that was happening. So many first times had happened for him tonight. It was the first time he bred his uncle, the first time that he got bred, the first time he had been part of a group session. He tried to concentrate on his breathing, trying to centre himself and stop the way that his mind was spinning. The feeling of hot, hairy flesh, slick with sweat against him on every side threatened to overwhelm the burly young man as his brain processed a veritable overload of pleasure. As Jason pulled off to a more comfortable position, Zach joined him to lay on the blankets. Daine winced a bit at how empty his ass felt now that his boyfriend had left him still stretched and leaking seed. He looked down at the wiry redhead, whose cock had been untouched during their whole endeavour. It looked angry, rock hard with need and shiny with precum that had seeped down his length and matted in his hair. As he gently released his uncle’s legs, Daine slid down and began to suck Shawn off. The refrigeration mechanic grunted as Daine began to lick and pleasure his meat. The burly blond could tell how close that Shawn was to erupting, so he was concentrating his tongue’s motions on the head. With one hand, he squeezed the redhead’s hairy nuts, and the other was firmly on Shawn’s chest, running through his massive beard and teasing his piercings with its travels. “Fuck,” breathed Shawn as his body finally gave in and delivered a heavy load to a hungry mouth. As his eight pulses of seed turned to oozing pulses, he looked down his chest. The big blond’s shaggy head pulled up, a trickle of cum staining his beard as it leaked from the corner of his mouth. Daine had a beatific look on his face as he straightened up, mouth closed in a silent smile. He turned, and seeing where his boyfriend ended, flopped next to the teen. He looked at Zach almost imploringly, but Zach knew exactly what his cum-hungry boyfriend wanted, and brought him in for a long kiss so that they could share Shawn’s load. The two young lovers grasped at each other, and held each other close even after they finished swallowing and making out. At that moment, they both felt incredibly satisfied with the world. Daine looked at his boyfriend, Zach’s usual lazy arrogant grin replaced with a softer, more genuine smile, and he found himself grinning in response. “I love you so much,” he said almost unconsciously as he lost himself in his man’s eyes and the way that his bushy goatee seemed to shimmer with dampness in the low light. “I love you more,” Zach said softly, almost not believing the words that were coming out of his mouth. He had never really thought about what kind of guy he wanted to end up with, but he realized that he had the answer to that question in front of him. Kind, sweet, and handsome to boot, Daine had made him understand exactly how deep a bond could form emotionally for him. “Here,” Jason said, interrupting them with a thrown towel. The big man had already wiped down his sweaty flesh before it got too sticky, and had joined his brother under the covers. As usual, Shawn had to sleep on the very left side of the bed, so Jason had walked around the mooning lovers and joined his man on his side of the mattress. “Thanks, babe,” Shawn said as Jason wiped down his back. He winced a bit as Jason managed to pull a hair with the towel’s label, and turned to his brother. Giving Jason a long kiss, he pulled his oversized younger brother down to lay with him. “And I love you,” he said happily, unable to resist joining in the refrain. “I love you too,” Jason rumbled, putting a big arm around the man that meant more to him than anything. “Gay,” Zach called out the word tauntingly, but couldn’t keep a straight face and devolved into giggles. “Be nice,” Daine said quietly as he laid his head down against Zach’s chest. “I am,” the teen retorted. “I’m-” “-being you,” Shawn finished for him. The redhead shook his head, making a cheerful snort at cutting off his big-mouthed apprentice. “Daine,” he said with an air of resignation, “I really hope you realize what you signed up for.” “Give it twenty years, and yours will be as bad as mine.” Jason couldn’t help but add his own shot. Shawn and Zach made offended sounds almost at the same time. Jason just kept his eyes on the young blond, who had obviously found it amusing. “Well, it’s true,” Jason said, full well knowing that he’d dug himself in this far, so he might as well make it count. “I remember when we were your ages, and the only thing that happened is he got grouchy about different things.” “Fuck y’all,” Shawn snorted jokingly. He wouldn’t say it out loud, but he had noticed a lot of things in himself when he looked at Zach. And, despite his earlier reservations, he could see exactly why Zach had fallen so hard for Daine. When Shawn looked at his relative, he saw a lot of the same traits that had brought Jason deep into his heart. Sure, Zach was a little bit louder than he had been, but Shawn had seen how protective his apprentice got about his boyfriend. It was hard for him not to see the similarities in how he only wanted happiness for Jason. “Nah, fuck me,” Zach finally said. “According to you, I have to grow up to be some sort of cranky hermit murder hobo.” “He didn’t say I grew up,” Shawn taunted back. “I love you guys too,” Daine laughed. “You guys are so awesome.” He reached over and put an arm around Jason’s shoulder to match with the one around Zach. All four of them were content to just chill back in their afterglow, and appreciate how lucky they were.
