“I’m back.”
“Shit he’s back,” Brad said running to hide behind Adam.
“I thought you weren’t scared,” Adam smirked.
“Shut up and distract him,” Brad whispered.
“I’m in here,” Adam called out.
“Don’t bring him in here,” Brad complained as he moved to the other side of the kitchen table.
“There you are,” Kris said as he walked into the kitchen.
“Everything go okay?” Adam asked.
“Sure,” Kris nodded. “Got it all fixed. Even got my teeth cleaned while I was there.”
“So you’re okay?” Brad asked cautiously.
“There you are,” Kris said as he moved towards the table.
“Don’t come any closer,” Brad warned. “I bite you know.”
“Right,” Kris smiled as he took another step closer.
“I’m serious,” Brad warned. “I’ll hurt you.”
“Don’t tease him,” Adam frowned.
“Bradley,” Kris said calmly.
“Yes?” Brad asked cautiously.
“Come here,” Kris said as he waved his hand at Brad.
“I don’t think so,” Brad said shaking his head.
“No seriously,” Kris said. “Come here.”
“Don’t do it,” Adam whispered. “It’s s trap.”
“Brad please come here,” Kris said as he took a step forward. “It’s okay, just come here.”
“Fine,” Brad said as he walked around the table. “But I warn you. I will bite. I will scratch. I will slap you like a woman.”
“You’re funny,” Kris smiled as Brad stopped in front of him.
“Now what?” Brad asked as he looked at Kris.
“Come here,” Kris smiled as he opened his arms wide and pulled Brad in for a hug.
“Adam?” Brad asked confused. “What’s going on?”
“I… I don’t know,” Adam frowned. “Kris honey, are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Kris smiled as he swayed back and forth with Brad in his arms.
“What the hell is going on?” Brad complained.
“I don’t know I think it’s some sort of weird ritual,” Adam frowned. “Like a wild animal playing with its food before it kills it.”
“Bradley?” Kris said pulling back to look into Brad’s eyes.
“Yes, Kris?” Brad asked uneasy.
“I love you,” Kris said smiling widely.
“Okay stop that right now,” Brad said as he pulled away. “I don’t know what crazy shit you’re up to, but I won’t be any part of it. Talking about how you love me. You’re insane.”
“I’m just saying,” Kris shrugged. “I mean we’ve been friends for almost thirty years. We’ve been through a lot. Every important even in our lives, you’ve been there. Always there.”
“This you calling me a stalker or something?” Brad asked confused.
“I just mean that I’ve known you for more than half my life,” Kris smiled. “And I love you.”
“Adam?” Brad frowned. “Why is he doing this?”
“I’m not too sure,” Adam frowned.
“All you need is love,” Kris announced. “And I have lots of it. I’m full of love.”
“You’re full of shit,” Brad grumbled. “I mean what is going on? I knock your tooth out and instead of freaking out like you usually do, you come in here talking about how you love me? I don’t understand what kind of freaky shit you are into.”
“I’m just trying to tell my friend that I love him,” Kris shrugged. “And you want to know something else?”
“Okay,” Brad nodded cautiously. “What?”
“If anything was to ever happen to me or Adam, I would want you to raise my children,” Kris answered causing Brad to let out a loud laugh.
“No I know you’re insane.”
“Kris?” Adam frowned as he took a step closer to his husband.
“Yes honey?” Kris smiled.
“When you were at the dentist did they give you any sort of pain meds?” Adam asked.
“Might have,” Kris shrugged. “They jabbed in my mouth with a big ass needle. But what does that have to do with me loving Brad?”
“He’s high,” Adam said turning to look at Brad.
“What?”
“He’s doped up,” Adam explained. “He’s high as a kite.”
“Am not,” Kris said rolling his eyes.
“He’s high?” Brad smiled.
“He’s always like this on meds,” Adam shrugged. “He’s full of love, and desperate to help people.”
“Really?” Brad asked taking a step closer. “And how long does that last?”
“A few hours,” Adam shrugged as he turned to fix some coffee.
“Well that’s interesting,” Brad smiled as Kris smiled back at him. “That’s very interesting.”
….…………………………………………..
“You want to know what I’m thinking?” Kris asked.
“Sure,” Brad smiled widely. “If it’s anything like you just revealed about you and Adam’s sex life, then I really want to know.”
“What are you revealing?” Adam asked walking quickly into the bedroom. “And why are you laying in bed with my husband?”
“I’m laying on the bed with your husband,” Brad corrected. “And you told me to help him upstairs while you made coffee.”
“What’s he revealing?”
“Oh he’s just telling me exactly what you’re into,” Brad smirked. “Shame on you. Very freaky.”
“Shut up,” Adam said rolling his eyes. “He hasn’t told you anything.”
“Really?” Brad asked. “You sure?”
“I’m very sure,” Adam nodded. “Kris and I have nothing freaky going on.”
“So you’re boring in bed?” Brad asked with a raised eyebrow. “Is that what you’re telling me?”
“I’m not telling you anything,” Adam answered as he moved around the other end of the bed. “And Kris better not be telling you anything either.”
“Hey good looking,” Kris said smiling up at Adam.
“I made you coffee,” Adam smiled. “Why don’t you drink it and relax, while I throw Brad out of our house?”
“No,” Kris whined as he grabbed hold of Brad’s arm. “Don’t do that. Don’t throw him out. I love him. I want to keep him.”
“What the hell did that dentist give you?” Adam frowned. “You’re acting crazy.”
“Hey leave my friend alone,” Brad smiled. “He’s being nice.”
“Yeah,” Kris nodded in agreement. “That’s what friends do. They be nice to each other.”
“You’re going to hate yourself in the morning,” Adam smirked.
“But I love myself now,” Kris smirked.
“And I’m loving you too,” Brad said with a wide smile. “This side of your works for me.”
“I don’t understand what’s going on here,” Adam said as he scratched the back of his neck. “I’m confused.”
“Well can you be confused and go get us pizza?” Kris asked.
“What?” Adam frowned.
“I’ve made a decision,” Kris announced.
“You’re in no state to make any kind of decision,” Adam pointed out.
“But I am making one,” Kris frowned.
“And what is it?” Adam asked through gritted teeth.
“We’re having a sleep over,” Kris smiled. “Now you go get the pizza while I find us all matching pjs.”
“Yeah,” Brad yelled as he clapped his hands together.
“Don’t encourage him, Brad,”Adam warned.
“But he’s fun like this,” Brad pouted.
“Adam you’re my husband, aren’t you?” Kris asked as he sat up.
“Oh god is his memory going?” Brad frowned.
“You know I am,” Adam sighed. “What’s your point?”
“My point is that as my husband you should do as I say,” Kris explained. “Right?”
“I don’t really agree with you there,” Adam frowned. “But go on.”
“And as my husband you should go get us pizza,” Kris answered. “And for being so nice, then I’ll let you pick the movie.”
“Jesus,” Adam sighed as he rubbed his forehead.
….………………………………
“You have pretty eyes,” Kris smiled a she looked at Brad.
“Are you hitting on me?” Brad smiled.
“No he is not hitting on you,” Adam answered through gritted teeth. “Kris get your eyes back on the movie.”
“But the movie is boring,” Kris complained. “This is a sleepover. We should be having fun.”
“We are three middle aged men in a bed together,” Adam sighed. “What the hell kind of fun should we be having?”
“I can think of one thing we can do,” Kris answered as he wiggled his eyebrows.
“Kristopher,” Adam snapped. “You stop that right now.”
“He is hitting on me,” Brad laughed.
“He is not,” Adam frowned.
“He just suggested a threesome with me,” Brad pointed out.
“He’s joking,” Adam pouted. “Kris, tell him you’re joking.”
“I’m only joking,” Kris smiled.
“Well that’s good,” Brad remarked. “Because a threesome might make things a little weird with us.”
“Totally weird,” Kris nodded. “I mean you’re like a brother to me. And you can’t have sex with your brother. That’s wrong and creepy.”
“Yes it is,” Brad nodded. “And that really warms my heart that you think of me as your brother. I mean really Kris, I’ve never heard you talk like this before.”
“I’m not good with my feelings,” Kris shrugged. “I put up walls. But you really have to know. No matter what horrible things I say to you, that I don’t mean them. I really don’t. Because I love you. I really do.”
“I love you you too,” Brad said smiling warmly.
“And I love you too,” Kris smiled.
“You already said that,” Brad frowned. “Adam he’s repeating himself.”
“Brad he’s high,” Adam pointed out. “Everything he’s saying to you is the drugs talking.”
“He should always be high,” Brad smirked.
“You really think that?” Adam asked. “Really, because look at us. We’re three grown men sitting in a bed wearing matching outfits.”
“I think we look cute,”Brad shrugged.
“We are cute,” Kris smiled. “I mean look at us. We’re like an awesome girl band. We’re like The Supremes.”
“Or Destiny’s Child,” Brad added.
“Jesus,” Adam groaned as he rubbed his forehead.
“I’m Beyonce,” Kris and Brad yelled at the same time before falling back giggling.
“Idiots,” Adam mumbled. “Both of you are idiots.”
….……………………………………………..
“Oh god,” Kris groaned as he burned his head under his pillow. “Adam turn out the light please.”
“That’s now the light,” Adam yawned. “That’s the sun.”
“My god, why is my head aching so much,” Kris complained.
“It’s probably the drugs,” Brad yawned.
“Probably,” Kris yawned. “I mean what did that dentist… what the hell are you doing in my bed?” he added as he quickly sat up.
“Morning,” Brad smiled.
“Adam what the hell is going on here?” Kris complained. “Why the hell is your friend in our bed. And what the hell am I wearing?”
“Oh don’t you get bitchy with me,” Adam answered as he climbed out of bed. “This is all you. This was your little idea.”
“my idea?” Kris frowned as he looked across the bed at Brad.
“Yeah,” Brad nodded. “The sleepover was your idea.”
“Sleepover?” Kris frowned.
“The sleepover,” Adam nodded. “And our matching outfits. All your idea.”
“I don’t understand,” Kris frowned.
“Well I can explain it in the car,” Brad said getting up. “Now hurry up. Our appointment is in an hour.”
“Appointment?” Kris asked. “Adam what’s he talking about?”
“He’s probably talking about your appointment with the tattoo artist,” Adam answered.
“Tattoo artist?” Kris asked.
“Yeah you agreed to matching tattoos last night,” Adam nodded.
“I did not,” Kris laughed. “With him?”
“I told you he’d say that,” Adam smirked.
“Which is why I got it in writing,” Brad said holding up a piece of paper with Kris’s hand writing on it.
“What the hell did that dentist give me?” Kris snapped.
