Rainbow Liaisons
by Jules

Nick opened his eyes and stretched his body, feigning off the last bit of sleep. He knew he had to get up, but was too comfortable at the moment to even think about moving. Reaching over, he felt for his lover, disappointed when his hand came into contact with air and sheets that were cool to the touch. He let out a soft groan of discontent and closed his eyes once more. "Get up sleeping beauty. We've got work to do." The door to his room burst open, startling Nick back to consciousness.

"Justin.. go away." Nick growled, burying himself deeper under his covers.

"I've already let you sleep late as it is, you've got to get that hot ass out of bed and ready to go. D's expecting us at the bar by noon." Justin crawled under the sheets, taking advantage of the fact that Nick was still half asleep. He stretched out on top of Nick, settling his weight on top of the older man.

"What time is it?" Nick yawned, shifting so that Justin's bulge was pressing against his ass. Both let out soft sighs. They laid there together for a few moments, enjoying the warmth of each other's bodies.

"It's just after 11." Justin dropped kisses over Nick's shoulders, letting his fingers dance against his skin. "Come on Nicky, you gotta get ready. We can't be late or Howie's going to kick our asses. We promised."

Nick sighed. "I know." He rolled over and looked at his best friend, unable to keep the smile off of his face. Howie had decided to enter a float in the Pride Parade this year and had enlisted Nick and Justin to help out. He'd gotten pretty much his entire bar staff of buff, hot men to participate, but also wanted some of his friends to be a part of it as well. Justin and Nick had immediately agreed, being two of his best friends. They'd promised to be there by noon to help get everyone in costume and ready for not only the parade, but the after parade activities. "Lemme shower and I'll be out." Nick crawled out of the bed, holding his head for a few seconds until it stopped spinning. The after effects of the partying the night before still lingering. His lips curled up in a big grin at the memories. Justin chuckled behind him.

"You and Kev have a wild night last night?" Justin asked, following Nick to the bathroom. He sat on the toilet while the blonde took his shower.

"Shit J. You have no idea." Nick called as he continued into the bathroom. He let the water course over his body for a good ten minutes, washing away the hangover residue from his system. "I don't even remember what time we came in."

"It had to be before five, cuz you guys were here when Josh and I got in at that time." Justin was amazed at how much Nick had come out of his shell in the past year. Since he'd ventured to Pride on his own and met Kevin, someone who Justin still thought was Nick's soul mate. The two were perfectly matched in every way, complimenting each other's personalities. Nick had really begun to loosen up and live life, not hiding himself away from the gay world as much as he had. And knowing what he had about Kevin, Nick had given him a sense of stability that he hadn't had before. Nick's innocence and naivety had rubbed off on Kevin, opening him up more than he'd previously allowed himself. The two had found a happy medium and had spent the last year disgustingly blissful. "Where were you guys?"

"We started out just bar hopping on Church Street. Kev had a few friends up so we were taking them around and showing them Toronto. Nothing much. But then one of them wanted to go to the Guvernment so we headed down there. All night party, usual shit." Nick rinsed the last bit of shampoo from his hair and gave his body one last once over before shutting the water off. "We'd been drinking pretty much all afternoon and all night, so by ...shit, I'd say three I was ready to go. So we caught a cab and came home."

"He looked pretty rough this morning when he left." Nick raised an eyebrow and Justin nodded. "Yeah, he left around ten. I'd just woken up and was getting coffee." They headed into Nick's room where he put on a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. It didn't matter what he wore to Howie's club because their outfits for the parade were already there waiting for them.

"Did he say anything?"

Justin shrugged. "Just that he wanted to go home and shower and stuff before meeting Josh to go to the parade. I think he was supposed to go home with him, but Josh was dead to the world. So Kev's gonna come back here later and pick him up before going down. They're supposed to watch at their usual spot. On the corner of Charles and Yonge, so we've got to look for them."

"You think they'll be pissed?" Nick asked, referring to their outfits for the parade. They hadn't told anyone what they'd be doing, nor what they'd be wearing. They wanted everyone to be surprised. To see the look on their faces. With a shake of his head Justin answered.

"Nah. I don't think so. I think they'll be hot as hell when they see us."

Nick chugged the last of his orange juice before grabbing his wallet and keys. "God I fucking hope so. The last thing I need is Kev pissed at me for our anniversary." Anniversary. Nick felt goose bumps cover his skin at the thought. He'd never expected Pride to turn out the way it had the year before. He'd almost even chickened out halfway there, wanting to just go back home when he knew Justin would be at work and pretend that he'd gone. He was never the type to be as flamboyant as Justin was, expressing his sexuality so blatantly. And the bicycle shorts the year before had definitely been blatant and flamboyant. But just as he had been planning on turning around and going home, he'd caught the eye of some hot body builder and saw the man's eyes roaming over his body in explicit detail. There had been a hunger in the man's eyes that Nick had never seen directed towards himself and that one exchange had given him the courage to continue down to the Parade. And he had never been more thankful, that day changing the course of his life forever.

Kevin had opened his eyes to a whole new world, one that he hadn't even realized he'd been missing. Their relationship had been one of the most phenomenal things to have happened to him and Nick couldn't imagine his life without the older man. Of course, the year hadn't passed without some incident of fighting or disagreements, but it was all taken in stride, their relationship coming out of each one stronger. Never once had he ever thought he would fall in love, especially in the way he had, as Nick was convinced that the moment he turned around after being bumped from behind and seeing the most intense, beautiful pair of green eyes staring back at him, he'd fallen in love. Head over heels in love, with someone who at that point, he didn't even know their name. Just that he was wearing nothing but a pride flag and a rainbow lei.

The scene at Howie's club was chaos, half naked men scrambling around to put the finishing touches on the club for the after party, as well as putting the finishing touches on themselves for the parade. Justin and Nick had arrived just in time to save Howie from having a nervous breakdown. "It's about time you two got here. Do something useful," Howie screeched as he passed by and threw tubes of body paint at them.

Justin rolled his eyes and mouthed, "drama queen" to Nick who giggled in response.

"Where should we start?" Nick asked, looking around. Justin shrugged and headed in the direction of a group of bartenders, slipping into their outfits. They had to be ready to go by 2:15, as that was what time their float was slotted to leave.

At two, the driver of the mac truck they were using was in place and the engine revved. The DJ was sitting in place and the music had started. Nick shyly adjusted his outfit for the tenth time in as many minutes, wondering if he'd picked too risqué an outfit.

"Leave it alone Nicky, you look fine," Justin scolded, smacking Nick's ass playfully.

"It's too small."

"No honey, it's just right." One of the bartenders beside Nick said, licking his lips as his eyes roamed over Nick's physique. Nick giggled and blushed as he whispered this thanks softly.

It was clear that the blonde needed some encouragement that he looked okay, so Justin pulled him close, wrapping his arms around Nick's waist. "You look hot Nicky, fucking unbelievable. I thought that you were sexy last year, it's nothing compared to this year. He's going to flip when he sees you, and I mean in a good way. So don't worry." Justin's hand made it's way to Nick's ass, where he was rubbing it sensuously. Instinctively, Nick began to grind their bodies together, their limp cocks beginning to harden into full erections.

"Are you sure J? I just...."

"You look great Nick. When are you going to realize that you're pure sex? That you're absolutely beautiful." Justin's right hand moved from Nick's ass to his jaw, stroking his skin softly. "Guys would kill for a body like yours, so it's your duty to show it off as much as possible. Give them all something to go home and jerk off to later tonight."

Nick blushed even more, burying his face in Justin's glitter covered neck. The two had slathered an obscene amount of glitter all over their bodies for effect. Looking at Justin's body, and then his own, he knew that his wasn't perfect. He didn't have the pecs that Justin did, the washboard stomach or the abs. Nick was tall and slim, he had muscles but they weren't defined. He felt his body was average, not too big but not too small. But as much as Kevin and Justin told him he was sexy the way he was, he just didn't see it. Not how they did anyways. Justin lifted his face and they stared into each others' eyes. Slowly, Justin's mouth came down on Nick's and they shared a soft, gentle kiss. Their lips lingered and Nick opened his lips just enough so that he could dart his tongue against Justin's mouth which was still closed. The kiss deepened and soon, both men were exploring the others' mouth with their tongue, Justin's hands remaining on Nick's ass, while Nick's were circling comfortingly on Justin's back.

"Happy Pride J," Nick whispered, resting his forehead on Justin's. He felt Justin kiss him softly one last time before pulling away, the moment not awkward at all.

"Happy Pride Nicky."

It was just how they were with each other. They shared soft, innocent kisses sometimes. They shared deep, mind blowing, earth shattering kisses sometimes too. But that's all it was, kisses. Nick loved Justin, Justin loved Nick. Both JC and Kevin were aware of it and in all honesty, didn't mind. There was nothing to be worried about because Nick was in love with Kevin and Justin was in love with JC. It was just the way things were with them.

"You going to be okay?" Justin asked, squeezing Nick's shoulder before resuming his original position. The float was getting ready to leave, Howie being given instruction that they had thirty seconds to move out.

"Yeah. Thanks sweetie." Nick took a few calming breaths and closed his eyes. The music was turned up and the truck began to move under his feet. He felt Justin's hand slip into his and tighten. Nick squeezed back and smiled. Howie's voice came over the speaker system from where he was dancing beside the DJ on the truck.

"Okay boys, lets show em how we do it." A round of hoots and hollers followed from the dancers, everyone getting into the spirit of Pride. Nick listened to the music that was blaring, the beat getting into his body and soul. He looked over at Justin for a few seconds who had a huge grin plastered on his lips, and was totally into the music with his hips gyrating and his arms raised over his head. Their eyes locked and Justin winked, causing for Nick to smile and begin dancing as well. The parade had officially started.

The glitter didn't last as long as they'd thought it might, as it was a blistering hot day and every other person on the street had a water gun. It had been a battle as to see who could get the dancers wetter, all twelve men on the float completely soaked. Nick looked down and grinned, his body wet and glistening in the sun. They were just rounding Yonge Street from Bloor, and he knew that it was only a block or two before they reached Charles St. where JC, Kevin and their friends would be watching.

He ran his hands down his chest and thrust his hips forward, hearing people scream and holler at him. Once again, he was glad that he'd listened to Justin in picking his outfit. He felt good and looked better, all feelings of nervousness gone with each passing look of appreciation. Of course, looking over at Justin, he knew he didn't hold a candle to the other man, but he still felt great.

Kevin was standing with JC right against the railing, waiting for Nick and Justin's float to pass by. They'd been trying to find out what their lovers would be wearing since Howie had asked them, but for once in their lives, the two men could keep a secret. They wouldn't divulge any information at all. So he and JC had been forced to wait until they saw the float for themselves. Joey was a few feet away, standing against the building in the shade with his new boyfriend, and everyone else they'd come with had all disappeared to various other locations. Kevin didn't care though, his focus was on Nick and what he would be wearing. There were butterflies in his stomach at the thought of the blonde. The man he loved more than life itself. The only man he'd broken every single rule he'd made for himself. Up until he'd met Nick, Kevin had never picked up strange men. At Pride. At clubs. Anywhere. He'd been too picky and too anal to be bothered with strangers. They weren't worth the trouble they caused in the long run. Up until he'd met Nick, Kevin had certainly not engaged in displays of public sex. Both rules shattered to bits upon ten seconds of meeting Nick. He'd looked into those blue eyes, stared at those plush lips and felt the heat emanating from his beautiful body and Kevin could barely remember his own name, let alone the rules he'd so strictly followed. Nick was the exception to every rule for Kevin.

And a year later, he still was. It was a magical year, bringing Kevin more than he ever realized he wanted. JC's voice broke into Kevin's thoughts. "There it is. It's turning the corner now," Kevin's eyes followed JC's pointed finger and he grinned. The float for Howie's bar was slowly approaching.

"So, what do you think they're wearing?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows at JC.

"Knowing Justin, he's probably buck naked and thrusting his dick for all to see. Either that or buck naked and has his ass in the air. Either or and neither would surprise me. Nick? Shit, depends on if he let Justin dress him or not."

Kevin laughed, knowing the truth in JC's statement. Where Justin had no shame, Nick was the opposite. He was always so bashful when it came to his body, something Kevin was, with the help of Justin, trying to remedy. In Kevin's eyes, Nick's body was perfect and he took every opportunity to tell and show Nick that. He held his breath as the truck was inching towards them. Conveniently enough, the truck stopped right in front of where they were standing. Kevin and JC's eyes opened wide, their jaws dropped. Blue eyes met blue. Green eyes met blue. Justin flashed JC a sexy smirk while Nick blushed. Both men continued dancing.

Josh watched Justin grind explicitly in a pair of tight white briefs which were see through from the water that he had been doused with, as if he'd known it would happened and had planned it that way. The underwear left nothing to the imagination as they were completely transparent, outlining Justin's obvious erection. Justin's hands danced up and down his chest seductively, his eyes focused solely on his lover's. He turned around to face the other side, giving the crowd a generous view of his wet ass before turning around and gyrating again. "Fuck," Josh hissed.

"All for you baby," Justin mouthed, cupping his erection in his hand and squeezing. The crowd was going crazy, but JC heard nothing. All he could see was Justin, all he could feel was his own cock throbbing in his capris.

Kevin couldn't have been more surprised if he'd tried. From the second his eyes landed on Nick's body, he knew Justin had indeed been the one to dress him. There was no way Nick would have picked that outfit himself. It was a leather G-string. Only a leather G-string. With studs decorating the waist band. The cup was barely large enough to hold Nick inside, his erection straining against the leather. A flash of light caught Kevin's eye and his hand moved to his chest in reaction. Fingering the metal hoop through his tee shirt, Kevin's nipple stiffened. He watched as Nick did the same thing. First the blonde licked two fingers and then brought it down to his own metal ring that speared his right nipple, flicking it playfully. Nick was performing for him and him alone, the thought making his groin ache. The nipple rings were something they'd decided to get a few weeks before, a spur of the moment stop on their way home from dinner. It was to accentuate the metal that he knew Nick was hiding behind the leather cup, a piercing he'd gotten as a surprise for Kevin a few months earlier. Once it had sufficiently healed, Kevin had spent countless hours playing with it, loving how it felt on his tongue as he'd given Nick head, how it rubbed against his prostate so roughly while Nick was fucking him. Kevin was completely awe struck at the moment, his thought processes considerably lacking.

"Do you like it?" Nick asked, mouthing the words to his lover. He could see by the expression on Kevin's face that he was enjoying the show, but just wanted confirmation. Kevin nodded, his lips forming a giant smile. Like was such an inadequate word for what he felt for Nick's outfit.

"God, you're hot," Kevin mouthed back. "I want to fuck you so bad right now."

Nick simply nodded before turning around and shaking his ass for everyone to see. Kevin groaned and cupped his erection in his hand. Nick had the perfect ass for that outfit, the leather nestled sweetly between the fleshy cheeks, hiding the small pucker that Kevin could practically taste just looking at it. As if knowing what it would do to the crowd, Justin turned sideways and pulled Nick flush against his body, bending him over just slightly. He held onto Nick's hips and began to thrust against his ass erotically. The other dancers on the float were moving just as sensuously, both alone and together so it didn't seem at all out of place. The crowd began to cheer and Kevin and Josh were laughing.

Before they could continue performing for their lovers, the truck once again started to move and they were gone, moving further down the street.

There was about another hour left of the parade, it probably would take that long for the float Nick and Justin were on to reach it's final destination. They'd made plans to meet up somewhere on Church street so Kevin and Josh decided to just stay put and enjoy the remaining floats. Before they knew it, the crowd was beginning to disperse and head on over to various locations to continue the party. "Where to?" Joey asked, throwing an arm over Josh's shoulders and grinning at his friends.

"Make our way over to Church street I guess? Knowing Nick he probably hasn't eaten..." The three men started to walk down Yonge to Wellesely, taking their time to enjoy the various scenes before them. It was the one time of year where anything was possible and everyone felt 100 percent free to be who they were.

"Plus, Justin will probably want to dance, so we can make our way to the DJ booth at Church and Wellesley," Joey commented.

Forty-five minutes later they'd finally managed to squeeze their way where they wanted to be. Amidst a group of hot, sweaty, half naked men dancing to the trance beats being played by a local DJ. Joey and his boyfriend had long since taken off, indicating that they'd hook up with the others later. Kevin and Josh simply laughed, surprised that the two had made it out of bed that long before sneaking away. Josh was the first to spot their boyfriends.

"Come on, they're right there." He pulled Kevin through the crowd to where Justin and Nick were writhing together sensuously, arms around each other, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Kevin watched them dance for a few seconds, amazed at how beautiful the two men were together. His erection throbbed mercilessly and he licked his lips in reaction to his mouth suddenly going dry as Nick began to nibble on Justin's throat. "Couldn't wait?" He breathed against the back of Nick's neck, thrusting his groin into Nick's ass. Kevin's arms wrapped around both men, joining the seductive dance they were engaged in. Josh did the same on Justin's other side.

Nick whimpered against Justin's skin upon hearing his lover's low, sexy drawl. His eyes opened to see Josh in behind Justin, a grin covering his lips. "He was saving me from the crowd," Nick explained, leaning his head back on Kevin's shoulder. Justin had since turned his face around to take Josh in a deep, sensuous kiss, the four men still moving together. "They wouldn't leave me alone, so Justin was keeping them away until you got here."

Justin nodded to collaborate Nick's story. "yeah, they've been all over Nicky here like flies on honey. Can't resist this ass or cock." Justin then moved to kiss Nick thoroughly. One of his hands moved to the back of Kevin's neck, pulling him closer, their eyes locked the entire time. Kevin was watching Justin's facial expressions as he was kissing his boyfriend, the briefest hint of tongue visible.

When the kiss broke, Nick sighed and turned to face Kevin. "So I think you should thank him baby. You know, for keeping me safe for you." He licked at Kevin's lips. Kevin captured his tongue and sucked on it, able to taste Justin on Nick and nodded his head.

"Maybe I will thank him baby." With that, he pulled Justin close and kissed him thoroughly, something that he'd surprisingly never done before. Nick could feel Justin quivering in his arms, a series of whimpers and moans coming from him. He knew what it was like when Kevin just kissed you senseless so he only giggled and began licking at the skin on Justin's throat, joining Josh who was already working on the younger man. Their eyes caught and suddenly Nick found himself in the middle of a deeply erotic kiss with JC. Something was starting between the four of them and Nick felt a pool of excitement settle in his stomach. He was interested in seeing where this line of action was heading.

"Well what do we have here? And you said that you were a more one on one type of guy..." A voice pulled Nick out of his extended kiss with JC. He heard Kevin and Justin finish with a loud whimper from Justin and a growl from Kevin. Turning his head towards the voice, Nick smiled when he saw the individual talking to him.

"I am."

"Well, it looks like one on one on one on one to me." Nick slipped out of Justin and Kevin's embrace to approach the three men that had joined them.

"Jealous?" He teased.

"Fuckin right we are. We offered first," one of the others spoke up, winking at Nick.

"Yeah, you did." Nick leaned in and kissed the first man thoroughly, the events occurring a year prior overwhelming his senses. The taste was so familiar, the lips and tongue just as delicious as they had been 365 days earlier. "How are you Brian?"

"Not as good as you Nicky. Fuck you are hot, definitely beats what you wore last year."

Nick could only blush before he was pulled into Alex's arms and kissed breathless. "Hey." The shorter man said, nibbling on his lips before pulling away.

"Hey."

"You look good blondie."

Nick only blushed as he finally made his way to Lance who hadn't said anything vocally, choosing to let his eyes express his outward desire. Rather than pull Nick close, Lance dipped his head down and licked a path up Nick's chest to end at his lips, which he claimed in a forceful and demanding kiss. When they were gasping for breath, they pulled apart. "Happy Pride Lance."

"You too gorgeous."

When Nick's breath returned, he turned to face Brian, who was watching him with an evil gleam in his eyes. AJ was talking to Kevin while Lance had sparked up a conversation with Justin and JC. "So, what are you up to now Nick?" Brian stepped in closer, his fingers tracing the edge of the leather and Nick's skin.

"Just dancing."

"I was thinking, maybe ... in the memory of our first meeting..." Nick's erection twitched and his body was suddenly covered in goose bumps. He knew what Brian was suggesting, offering. In an instant Brian was much closer, their bodies lightly brushing against each other. "We'd take a walk?"

Nick whimpered as Brian's hand dipped lower to squeeze the bulge behind his leather underwear. Closing his eyes he licked his lips and allowed for Brian to work him. He felt Kevin's hand resting gently on his lower back, fingers dipped under the leather band and he smiled. "Bri, as much as I'd love to feel that mouth on me again. This time maybe suck you off too, I'm gonna have to say no." Kevin slid in behind him, wrapping his arms around Nick's waist protectively. He nuzzled Nick's neck.

"I love you Nicky," Kevin whispered softly.

Brian caught Nick's eye and realized what the blonde was trying to tell him. He gave Kevin a once over and his grin got bigger.

"Brian, this is Kevin. My boyfriend."

Brian only continued to smile. "That's okay Nick, your boyfriend can come too. The more the merrier."

"Don't you remember what I said last year, we like it messy." Alex said, licking his lips. And there they were, with a proposition for an afternoon of fun and frolicking with these men. Nick and Kevin exchanged glances, but both men knew what the answer would be. It wasn't even an issue. As hot as these men were, as tempting as the offer was, there was something else in the air that day. Something unspoken between them and their best friends, and Nick was a little more than curious as to see where things were heading there.

"Again, thanks but we'll have to decline. We have our own ..." Nick paused to look at Justin and Josh who were still in conversation with Lance, "...mess to deal with." Both Brian and Alex nodded in understanding, recognizing the gleam in Nick's eyes.

"It's all good. Just thought we'd put the offer out there. See if you'd bite." Alex shrugged, slightly disappointed.

"Well, we should go then. Gonna head out and see what's happening further down the street." The seven men bid each other a good bye, indicating that they might see each other later around the strip. It was a semi- long weekend as Tuesday was Canada Day and most people had taken the Monday off as well, so the party would definitely be going until late in the night.

Within moments the four men were once again alone. "They're pretty hot," Justin's eyes lingered as he watched the three men walk away, all hand in hand. Lance's head turned and he flashed a look over his shoulder, grinning wickedly at them. Justin grinned and adjusted his bulge. "Yeah, fucking hot."

"Didn't I introduce you last year?" Nick asked, wrapping his arms around Kevin's waist and pulling him close. "They were at the bar afterwards."

"Uh, I think J and Josh were busy fucking in the back room, and we were busy with our own little party." Kevin's mouth attached itself to the skin on Nick's throat, licking and sucking in earnest. Nick whimpered, running his fingers through Kevin's long locks.

"Speaking of our own little party..." Nick directed Kevin's mouth to his and they engaged in a deeply passionate kiss. "I think there is a cubicle that has our name on it." Nick's lips curled into a smirk and Kevin growled.

"You two are so nasty," Justin laughed, shaking his head. "I mean a fucking port a potty? Go the fuck home and do it in a bed!"

"Like you've never had sex in one. Hell, I'd like someone to tell me somewhere you haven't had sex J, because we all know you've been everywhere," Nick laughed as Justin pouted and Josh nodded.

"Damn right he is. Bendiest little fucker you've ever met," Josh kissed Justin's shoulder playfully.

"I thought that was you?"

"Screw you Kev."

All four men broke into laughter. Nick caught Kevin's eyes and discreetly nodded his head towards the row of portable washrooms. Kevin winked and they both grinned. "Okay, well we're going to go for a little bit. So we'll catch you later."

"Have fun boys," Justin called seconds before being engulfed in Josh's wiry arms. Their best friends were forgotten the second their lips touched and Josh's tongue entered Justin's mouth.

"I love you Nicky." There had been a moment, looking into Nick's eyes, when he'd been uncertain as to what his lover was going to say to Brian's offer. Granted, the offer had been extended to include him, but he hated the fact that he'd doubted what Nick would say. What he would do.

"I love you too babe," They waited in the line for a cubicle to become available. Nick leaned in to kiss Kevin tenderly. "And as much as I would have loved to go with them, I love you. It wasn't even an option."

"Even when they invited me?" A door opened and they were next, walking in together without shame. Nick could see a few appreciative glances in their direction but ignored them. He was oblivious to them, especially when his mind was on what was about to happen inside the stall. Nick reached behind him to lock the plastic door, confining them in the too small space.

"Even when they invited you," Nick leaned in to kiss Kevin, his tongue plunging deep into the wet heat of his mouth. "To be honest with you, I really liked watching you with Justin. Made me so fucking hot..." They kissed again, Kevin's hands moving down Nick's chest to his stomach and around to his ass. The leather strap at the back of his g string was held on by a clasp and Kevin undid it swiftly. "Thought that maybe things might progress with the four of us tonight. You and Justin .."

"You and Josh," Kevin raised an eyebrow as his fingers were dancing a path up and down the crack of Nick's ass. He hadn't missed the way that Nick would watch Josh sometimes. It was something Kevin wasn't even sure that Nick was aware of. Just like he'd watched Justin. He could remember the first time that his roommate brought the younger man home, Kevin shocked at how beautiful the kid was. Sex on two legs was more like it, and he'd endured many a night having to listen to the two men having hours of what sounded like phenomenal sex. That was until he'd met Nick and the couples pretty much traded apartments. One night he and Nick would be at Nick's place, the next they'd be at his. Wherever one was, the other wouldn't be. Unless it happened to be a night they were all together watching movies or playing games or something and ended up spending the night at the same apartment. But on those nights both couples were having sex loud enough to drown the sounds of the others out.

But it didn't mean that Kevin was blind to Justin's appeal. Although he was in love with Nick, he wasn't dead yet.

Nick nodded shyly. "Yeah. Me and Josh."

Kevin kissed Nick's jaw and whispered directly into his ear. "You got a crush on Joshy Nick?" He loved the way Nick would blush and chuckled. "Yeah, you do." Kevin lowered so that he was sitting on the toilet seat and lifted the leather that was still covering Nick's erection. Nick's fingers ran through his hair, Kevin able to feel how they were slightly trembling. "It's okay baby. You wanna know a secret?"

"What?" Nick's whisper was soft and he was biting his lip nervously.

"He wants you too." Before Nick could respond, Kevin licked a path up the underside of Nick's erection, tonguing the silver stud that decorated the head. Nick's back arched and his head fell back, a low keening groan echoing off of the walls. "God Nick, been wanting this all day. Couldn't wait to suck your cock baby."

"Do it.. fuck I need it. Suck me Kev." Nick tightened his hold on Kevin's hair and almost force fed Kevin his throbbing shaft. He needed release, the pent up sexual tension starting to become painful. He could feel Kevin moan around him and take him in deeper, engulfing him in a sweet heat that was all too familiar. Nick paused his breathing barely audible. He was listening and could faintly hear similar sounds coming from the walls around them.

"Fuck.. .yeah.. harder.. fuck me like that..."

"Spank it... "

"I'm cumming.. make me cum.."

As if Kevin was thinking the same thing, he looked up and grinned around Nick's cock, their eyes locking. He resumed his ministrations and vowed to make Nick scream louder than any of the other men in the cubicles. He wanted to hear his baby howl.

Nick had one hand in Kevin's hair, the other holding him up with the makeshift wall beside him. His eyes were shut tightly and his whole body was on fire. Kevin was working him fast and furious, determined to make him lose all control. He slid just a bit deeper down Kevin's throat and felt the older man's hand on his balls, rolling them around in his large hands. With just one firm touch to the spot where Nick's balls met his body, he screamed, cumming violently. The clench around his cock tightened when Kevin began to gag, the force with which Nick shot his load overwhelming to him. But the more he gagged, the harder Nick thrust into his throat, riding out the orgasm Kevin had worked so diligently on bringing him. When he was finished, Nick withdrew from Kevin's mouth, shocked to see his lover's eyes a little wet, sticky white cream escaping the corners of his mouth.

Nick pulled Kevin up and wiped the tears from his eyes gently. "You okay sweetie?" Kevin nodded, taking a deep breath. Nick leaned in to lap at his cum from Kevin's mouth, cleaning his lips and jaw of the white substance. "Did I hurt you?"

"No. Just choked a bit there..."

"I'm sorry.." Nick knew he didn't have to apologize, it wasn't anything that hadn't happened before. To either of them. He gently stroked Kevin's cheek, waiting for him to catch his breath. "But god, you were so gorgeous like that. Tears in your beautiful green eyes, cum on your lips. My cum on your lips. Fucking unbelievable." They shared a sweet, tender kiss until Nick pulled away. "Tell me what you want."

"I want... Kevin sat down and turned Nick to face the door. He quickly undid his shorts and pulled them down to just below his thighs, allowing for his cock to spring free. It was massively swollen, throbbing mercilessly and weeping at the tip. "I want you to fuck me. I want you to fuck yourself on me. I've been looking at that ass all day and it's just begging for my cock to be inside it. Please Nicky..." Kevin's hand moved to his lap and jerked his erection a few times, allowing for it to grow a little more. He used the pre-cum as lubrication, reaching into the pocket for a small packet he'd picked up at one of the 'free health' booths. He squirted half of the contents onto his hand and began to prepare himself, slicking his hot organ with the substance. Using the second half, he bent Nick over slightly and began to work first one, then two fingers inside of his lover, enjoying how responsive he was.

There was no need for condoms as they had long since stopped using them. The moment they'd decided to seriously start their relationship, both of them had gone to the clinic to be tested. They'd wanted to make sure that they both had a clean bill of health with no problems to arise. Both Nick and Kevin had always practiced safe sex in the past, but nothing was certain and the last thing they had wanted to do was put the other at risk. Just as they had both suspected, they both came up clear and free of any harmful diseases. It was then that they had sit down to have a serious talk about their sex life. Although both practiced safe sex all the time, they felt that it wasn't necessary any longer. They were monogamous, and both safe. So the need for condoms was no longer. Nick could still remember every detail of that first night they'd made love without a barrier between them. It had been quite possibly the most erotic night of his life, feeling Kevin surround him for the first time, naturally.

"Enough Kev. I'm ready." Nick turned halfway and smiled at Kevin before backing up and squatting over his lover's lap. Kevin positioned them properly and allowed for Nick to slowly lower himself onto his erection, the tight heat almost unbearable. Eventually, Nick was as far down as he could go, sitting completely on Kevin's lap.

"God you feel so good," Kevin sighed, one hand on Nick's shoulder, the other on his waist. He traced the blonde's tattoo on his spine with his tongue, trembling as Nick twitched around him.

"I'm gonna move..."

"NO! Fuck, I need you to wait a second..." Kevin had to warn Nick to stay still for a moment so he didn't cum too soon. He was dangerously close to the edge.

"Don't wanna wait..." Nick teased, slowly moving up before back down again. "Wanna fuck... wanna make you scream..."

"Hold on a sec.. shit Nick... you're such a fucking bitch..."

Nick let out a high pitched giggle that turned into a moan as Kevin jabbed into his prostate. He continued moving, despite Kevin's pleas to hold on a second.

"God damn Nick. Fine, you want it this way, lets fucking go." Kevin's voice was like steel and Nick grinned. He'd gotten exactly what he wanted. Kevin moved both of his hands to Nick's waist and pushed him up slightly before slamming him back down, hitting deeper and harder than he had when Nick was moving himself. With the added sensations of him thrusting his hips, Kevin was now working Nick on him, rather than Nick working himself. The grunts were loud and obscene, both men speaking in nonsensical words. The sounds of other couples doing the exact same thing could still be heard, as it was now a challenge to see who could be the loudest. It was all adding to the erotic atmosphere around them.

Nick was the first to succumb this round. "Fuck... Just once.. fucking hit it once Kev.. all it will take."

Kevin could see Nick's hand moving furiously and knew he was jerking off. His head was thrown back and he was riding Kevin with purpose. All Nick needed was one hard jab to his prostate and it would send him over the edge. Shifting so as to slam in at a different angle, Kevin tightened his hands on Nick's hips to the point of leaving marks and slammed in violently, jabbing directly on Nick's prostate. The reaction was instantaneous, Nick's scream reaching right down to Kevin's soul. Kevin's eyes were locked on the exact spot where his cock was entering Nick's body, and could feel the orgasm wash through his lover. It was then that Kevin allowed for his own orgasm to claim him, rocking him just as hard as Nick's.

"Holy fuck." Nick grunted, pulling himself off of Kevin's lap. He could feel every inch of Kevin's cock slide out of his body and trembled, his body still one massive nerve ending. The air was stifling and Nick was energized as he leaned over to grab some toilet paper from the roll. First he cleaned Kevin, making sure as to be gentle with his lover. Just as he was about to clean himself, he felt Kevin grab toilet paper from the roll and turn him around, using the same care as he'd shown on him. It was a matter of minutes before they were both redressed and ready to emerge.

"You are unbelievable," Kevin whispered into Nick's ear.

"It was all you."

They shared one last kiss before unlatching the lock and heading back out into the sunshine, where they were met with a round of applause. Nick blushed while Kevin laughed, waving at the onlookers.

"What's the applause for?" Kevin was curious.

"That was by far the hottest sex we've heard all day in there. People down the street could hear you two going at it." One man said, looking clearly impressed.

Another man approached and sized both Nick and Kevin up. "Which one of you is Kevin?" When Kevin raised his hand the man's eyes lit up and then looked down at his groin. "If you're ever needing another hole to fuck, give me a call. If you can make him scream like that, I'd definitely like to go for a ride."

Kevin raised an eyebrow, smirking at Nick. "Well thank you but his dick is definitely satisfied with the hole it's currently fucking," Nick grabbed onto Kevin's hand and pulled him towards the dance floor, the sounds of applause still ringing around the port a potties. When they were a safe distance away, both men began to laugh.

"I didn't think we were that loud!" Kevin said, weaving through the crowds to where they'd left Josh and Justin. "I mean, no louder than anyone else."

"Now how the fuck did I know it was going to be you two in there?" A voice came from the crowd, causing for Nick and Kevin to pause. Upon turning around, they found Joey grinning at them, eyes rolling. "Everyone's been talking about these two guys that had been in the bathroom for like an hour, fucking loud as hell. I mean shit, guys were getting off from just listening to you two. And as soon as I'd heard it I figured, shit. Probably Nick and Kev."

All three started laughing as Nick gave Joey a hug and brief kiss to his lips. "What made you think it was us?"

"Well J said that you two had gone off to the bathrooms to fuck. Sort of like a happy anniversary thing, and then I'd heard people talking about two guys in there going at it like mad. Figured it was you two kinky freaks." Joey let his eyes wander down Nick's body and grinned. "And damn kiddo, you look delicious today."

Nick blushed and covered his face. "Thanks."

"How the fuck can you do that? Wear something like that and know that men are creaming their pants just fucking watching that ass bounce and that cock... just be there.. but then be embarrassed when someone compliments you. Like you don't know that every person here is wanting to fuck the shit out of you."

"Tell me about it," Kevin said, watching as a group of men walked by sizing Nick up. He protectively put his arm around his lover's waist.

"Well anyways, Josh and Justin wanted me to tell you if I saw you that they've gone back to your place," Joey nodded at Nick. "They left about ten minutes ago."

"Good, they're probably not that far then. The crowd's probably thick further down Church where the other DJ booth is set up. Thanks Joey, well catch up to them."

"No problem. You guys going out tonight?"

"Yeah, D's club. We should be there around 11 or so." It was nearly eight o'clock already, the sun still shining bright. They said good-bye and headed off down Church street in the direction of Nick and Justin's apartment. Just as they'd figured, their two friends hadn't gotten very far, and were amidst a group of people dancing to the music that the DJ were playing.

"Leaving so soon?" Nick asked, sliding up behind Justin. He felt the younger man tense for a moment before relaxing.

"Got tired of waiting for you guys," Justin's eyes were twinkling his lips curled in a sexy grin.

Josh's eyes were focused on Nick's torso, pausing before raising to his eyes. The two men locked gazes and Nick smiled at the fact that Josh was checking him out. It gave him all the answers he needed to go forth with his plan.

"Yeah, could you two have been any louder? Everyone was talking about it." Josh's voice was teasing and he lightly punched Kevin's shoulder.

"Jealous?"

"Maybe!"

"It's not like there was enough room for you guys in the stall with us, or we would have invited you." Nick was completely serious about that, had there been enough room he would have been more than glad to include Josh and Justin in on their activities. He could see in Justin's' eyes that the younger man realized he was serious. Justin turned around in Nick's arms and faced him, as if issuing a challenge.

"Oh yeah? You would have included us? Or just let us watch?"

"Either or, would have been up to you." Nick's face was serious, his eyes not moving from Justin's. The air around them shifted and the sexual tension intensified.

"What if we had have wanted to join in?" Justin asked, shivering as Kevin moved in behind him, pressing against him lewdly. His already returned erection was pressing into Justin's ass.

"Then we would have moved over and let you in. Whatever you wanted to do... to whomever, we could all play together." Kevin's eyes were locked on Nick's to make sure that what he was doing was okay. He didn't want to overstep any boundaries since they hadn't exactly talked the whole situation through. Granted, Nick had said he'd wanted to see Kevin and Justin together but wanting to see it and WANTING it done for him were two different things. Nick's hand moved from Justin's waist to the back of Kevin's head, pulling him forward just slightly. Kevin allowed for Nick to manipulate his head, slightly surprised when Nick put his and Justin's faces right beside each other. Taking the hint, Kevin darted his tongue out to trace a path from Justin's shoulder to his ear, biting the lobe playfully.

There was music still playing and so Nick began to move his hips slowly at first, waiting for Justin and Kevin to catch on to what he was doing. After a few moments of uncertainty, the three men were dancing together, Kevin's mouth feasting on Justin's skin hungrily. His hands were roaming Justin's chest and stomach muscles, tracing each line and curve delicately. Nick turned his head to see Josh watching with uncertainty. Untangling himself from Justin's embrace, he pulled Josh towards him, so that Justin and Josh were facing each other and Kevin and he were behind the two respectively. "So how about it Josh, you maybe wanna play?"

Josh leaned in towards Justin, whispering something in his ear. The two were speaking softly to one another, as if reassuring the other of what was about to happen and how it would affect their relationship. Nick knew that whatever they chose to do, however it proceeded everything would be fine. If they didn't want to play, it was fine. If they did, even better. But nothing would get in the way of the friendship the four of them had. His eyes met with Kevin's and they shared a look of absolute love and trust. Nick felt a hand on his hand, which was resting on Justin's hip and looked down to see it was Kevin. Their fingers tangled together and they squeezed, secure in what was about to happen.

Justin took Josh's lips in a sweet yet erotic kiss, their tongues moving from one mouth to the other. Nick watched hungrily as the kiss intensified and the two men were grasping at each other. Finally, Justin broke the kiss just enough to say, "Nicky.. come here." Nick jumped a little and leaned in, surprised when Justin transferred the kiss from Josh to him, now working on his mouth, his tongue. He could feel Josh's uneven breath on his neck and sighed. It was a matter of seconds when Justin moved Nick's mouth from his to Josh's. It was done with such precision, such expertise that Nick hadn't even fully registered the transfer. Josh's lips were thinner, his tongue more eager and exploratory. Where Justin knew every inch of Nick's mouth, Josh wasn't privy to that information, until now. Nick's eyes flew open upon the realization that he was kissing Josh and found himself staring into stormy blue eyes. Eyes which were filled with the barest of hesitation and concern.

"Oh Josh..." Nick breathed, breaking the kiss.

"Nicky, I want to play with you," the older man confessed.

"Good." Nick looked up in time to see Kevin pull Justin in forcefully and take complete possession of his mouth, his entire body. Justin went limp in Kevin's arms, allowing for the older man to do as he wished. Nick wasn't sure if he'd ever seen Justin in a position of absolute compliance before. The sight was extremely arousing. And the fact that he was only wearing a pair of tight white briefs, to Kevin being fully dressed added to the eroticism. It was as if Justin were the innocent younger virgin and Kevin was the older, more mature lover. Nick's cock twitched and Josh growled.

"You think that's hot don't you? The two of them together? Your lover and your best friend."

"Yeah, fuck Josh. Don't you?" Nick licked his lips, unable to tear his eyes from the sight of Justin and Kevin grinding together, involved in a dirty, nasty kiss.

"That," Josh cupped Nick's erection through the leather, "is how I feel each time I see you and him together."

"Me and who?"

"You and Justin. Whenever I see the two of you together, whether you're kissing, or play fighting or anything. I get so fucking hard. Sometimes I wish you'd just tear his clothes off and fuck the daylights out of him. Bend him over a table and make him scream for mercy."

Nick turned his attention on the shorter man, cupping his face in his palm. "What if that's what I want to do to you? Bend YOU over a table and fuck you so hard you're crying." Nick heard two distinct whimpers, one coming from Josh and the other from Justin, who had overheard Nick's confession.

"That would be so hot to watch," Justin broke free from Kevin's kiss to turn his head towards Josh and Nick. "The two of you together. Don't you agree Kevin?"

"Definitely."

The two couples were dancing erotically, Justin and Kevin grinding seductively while Nick and Josh were barely moving, their mouths locked in a steamy kiss. Every so often one would look at the other couple, and simply watch for a few moments, amazed at the ease with which the situation came to them. There had always been an underlying sense of sexual tension between the four of them, although nothing had ever come of it. It was just something they dealt with, and more often than not, joked around about.

Kevin's lips found Justin's and they were soon feeding hungrily on one another, the younger man practically stuck to Kevin like glue. His hips were like liquid sex, teasing and taunting Kevin with the idea of more. What it would be like to have Justin under him, writhing with each thrust inside his tight body. Or to have Justin pinned up against a wall, unable to move as Kevin fucked him long and hard. All it took was a twirl of Justin's tongue, a squeeze on his ass and Justin's hand covering his erection for Kevin to forget about Nick for a few moments, the thought scaring Kevin out of the daze he was in.

"I don't ..." Kevin felt slightly silly but now that the reality of the situation was hitting him, a sense of doubt was curling in his stomach. He pulled away and covered his mouth with his hand. Kevin looked terrified and Justin thought that he'd done something wrong. "Kev?"

"Stop..." Kevin looked at Nick and Josh who were dancing, the smaller man tucked against Nick's chest. At that moment, the blonde looked up and saw the expression on his lover's face. His world stopped instantly and he whispered something to Josh. Nick was at Kevin's side in an instant.

"What's wrong babe?"

Kevin shook his head, feeling foolish.

"It's okay. Just tell me. Is there something wrong? Do you not want to do this?"

"Do you?" Kevin looked deep into Nick's eyes, as if searching for something. "This is seriously ... serious. What exactly are we wanting from this? Where is this heading?"

Nick understood Kevin's concern and felt instantly relieved. As much as he wanted Josh, he was a little unnerved at how it seemed that Kevin didn't care what he did with Josh, nothing being off limits. There had been no jealousy in Kevin's eyes, no indication that he didn't want Nick to follow through with it. "Whatever we ...want. I don't know. What do you want? We're just dancing."

Kevin took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He could feel Josh and Justin's eyes on him but didn't care. This was about him and Nick. Sure, they were just dancing now but what would happen when they went back to the apartment. Where would things continue and how far would they go. "I don't know if I could watch you fuck JC. Or even Justin. If you want ....do it when I'm not there.. but I don't know if I could handle actually seeing it. Or hearing about it." Kevin's eyes opened and Nick saw regret flashing there. He knew the older man thought he was disappointing him and Nick loved him even more at that moment than he had before.

"Then it won't happen." Kevin moved to protest and Nick shook his head. "No. It's me and you babe. Justin's my best friend, and Josh is yours. I know we love them, but they're not in this relationship and if either of us sleeping with them is going to be a problem, then it won't happen. Unless you want to sleep with Justin or Josh, that is your decision... But right now I'm just dancing with him. Kissing him. Nothing more. Never anything more." Nick felt butterflies in his stomach and he held his breath.

"Would that bother you? If I slept with either of them?"

Nick's voice was soft, "yes."

"Oh Nicky." The two men held each other tight, breathing in the scent of their lover mixed with their own scent. "What are we doing then?"

"I'm serious, I do want to play with them. I love watching you and Justin together, but I don't want it to go as far as sex. I'm sorry if that makes me selfish."

"Don't be sorry. And you're not being selfish. I know exactly what you mean sweetie. It's the same with you and Josh.." They paused for a second. "Do you think they'll mind?" Kevin asked.

"They don't have a choice." Nick felt a hand on his lower back and he turned his head to see two very concerned blue eyes staring at him.

"Is everything okay?" Josh rested his cheek against Kevin's shoulder. "Do you two want to be alone? Should we leave?"

Nick shook his head. "No. Just needed to have a talk." He looked at Josh and then Justin. "We just need you to know... well, we've discussed it and ..."

"You don't want to do this." Justin looked disappointed, his face falling. He looked away and composed himself, turning around with a smile, albeit fake. "That's fine. It's just something.."

"No. We didn't say that. We just decided that ...it can't go as far as sex."

Josh and Justin shared a smile, their hands clasping between them. "That's what I said to him earlier, when you brought me into it Nick," Josh said, his voice soft. "As curious as I am about you, I couldn't do that. Couldn't actually go through with it. I can't... I won't."

Nick held up his hand, Josh didn't need to say anything more. It was exactly how he felt. "I know. This is one thing, but that ....I can't either." One of Josh's hands found it's way to the back of Kevin's head, the other at the back of Nick's. Slowly, he brought the two together.

"I do want to just tell you both how beautiful the two of you are together. How glad I am that you both found each other."

Kevin's lips met Nick's in a steamy kiss, both men taking the time to leisurely explore each other's mouths. Josh's breath was hot against their cheek, watching with extreme interest. Every so often, he would dart his tongue out and lap at the corner of their mouth, briefly coming into contact with a tongue or lip.

"Fucking beautiful," Josh whispered.

"So are you Josh," Kevin answered, nuzzling Josh's cheek. "I always wondered why it was we didn't work out together, but now I know it wasn't meant to be. This is." The three men looked over at Justin who was watching silently. He hadn't approached but hadn't stepped away. It was Kevin who brought him closer, pulling him into the middle of their triangle.

All four men whispered their confessions of love to one another, moving together to the beat of the music playing. Nick's hands were touching someone, anyone, he wasn't quite sure, just as he wasn't sure who's hands were stroking his back, his ass. A pair of lips attached themselves to his neck and he moaned, turning his head to see it was Josh. Without thinking, Nick sought out the closest mouth to his, which happened to be Kevin, taking him in a deep kiss. Mid way through, he felt Kevin whimper against his mouth and opened his eyes to find Justin gently tonguing Kevin's piercing. Justin switched from Kevin's chest to Nick's, moving back and forth between the two. Kevin brought a hand down to grab onto Justin's shoulder, squeezing it roughly. They broke the kiss and Kevin looked down to where Justin was now looking up at him.

"Come up here.."

Nick's loud yelp got their attention and Kevin and Justin looked over to see what had caused the noise.

"Fuck Nicky.. is that a..." Josh exclaimed loudly. He had discreetly undone the clip holding the leather in place and had snuck his hand under the cup, stroking Nick's erection lazily. Kevin grinned when he'd realized what Josh had found, Justin only watching in awe.

"Yeah. He got it a few months ago," Kevin leaned, kissing Nick.

"Let me see.." They crowded around Nick so that no one passing would be able to see. When he was sure that he was securely hidden, Nick lifted the leather to show off his piercing. Josh couldn't stop himself from reaching down, fingering the silver jewelry. All four men watched Nick's cock twitch at the sensation, a drop of liquid slipping out of the head.

"Does it hurt?" Justin asked in awe, unable to take his eyes off of it. It was something he'd always wanted but never had been brave enough to try. He was kind of upset that his best friend had failed to tell him he'd gotten it, let alone bring him.

Nick caught Justin's eye and smiled apologetically. "It did at first, but now it's just fucking amazing." He brought their faces together and rested his forehead on Justin's. "If you want to go and get one, I'll go with you J."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" No one said anything about the fact that Josh was still stroking Nick's throbbing erection. Nick's stomach muscles contracted and his breathing was becoming more laboured with each stroke.

"Spur of the moment. I was with a friend who was getting her clit pierced and said how hot Prince Albert's were. I looked at a few pictures of them and was hard in no time. The guy behind the counter was telling me how great they made sex, and I decided right then that I was going to do it. So when he was done with her, he did me."

"And?"

"They're so fucking hot," Kevin said. "I definitely recommend it."

Justin locked gazes with Josh who only winked and licked his lips. Just as Nick was about to climax, Josh withdrew his hand. "I think it's time we went home. So Kevin can take care of Nicky here and I can spend some quality fuck time with Justin." When everyone looked at him he shrugged. "Hey, you two have already got to fuck today. We haven't. I'm horny and it's your boyfriend's fault." He poked Kevin in the chest, accusingly. "So let's go."

"Can someone at least strap me in again?" Nick whined, putting on his best pout. He giggled when all three men were scrambling to help him. Kevin won out. Once Nick was tucked back into place they continued down the street to Nick and Justin's apartment. Howie had clearly been home and gone again, leaving them a note to meet him at Veruca whenever they finally went out. "We're gonna take our shower now, that okay with you two?" Nick asked, barely getting a response. Justin and Josh were already undressing each other and stumbling towards Justin's bedroom.

They didn't speak until they were both under the spray of water, cooling down from the heat outside. It was Nick who started the conversation. "Would you have? If I'd asked you to?"

Kevin's breath hitched and he closed his eyes, not wanting to see the look on Nick's face. "Why?"

"I need to know. If I had have asked you to sleep with Justin, if it was what I would have wanted to see, would you have done it?"

"I'd do anything for you Nick. Anything you asked me to. Even that."

"Would you have wanted to?"

"Honestly?"

"Always be honest with me Kevin." Nick kissed both of Kevin's eyelids before his forehead. He was stroking the older man's back in soft reassuring movements.

"No. Not really. In some fucked up fantasy, yeah, I'd totally fuck him in a heartbeat. But that would be if we weren't together. And I never want that. If it was what you'd wanted, I'd do it for you."

"Would you have enjoyed it?"

Kevin's lips curled into a grin. "Have you had sex with him?"

Nick nodded.

"Did you enjoy it?"

Nick grinned.

"Yeah, I'd have probably enjoyed it. But it wouldn't have lasted and then I would have had to live with the fact that I'd cheated on you. I know you'd have been there but it's different. As much as I may fantasize about other people, when it comes down to it, its' just you I want." Kevin took a deep breath and pulled Nick into his arms. "Would you have wanted me to?"

Nick shook his head. "No. Not sex. Not taking it that far. I thought I would, but then when I had turned to see the two of you dancing, him grinding all up on you ...I pictured the two of you in a bed somewhere, him under you or you under him and just ... it hurt. Knowing it could go that far ...I didn't like it. What we were doing today, that didn't bother me. It was just the possibility of more."

"I know, it was the same for me."

"I love you Kevin. So much."

"Me too babe."

They finished in the shower and dried off, getting dressed to decide what to do about dinner. They hadn't eaten all afternoon and both were sufficiently hungry. It was getting late so a quick dinner would have to do. They could still hear the sounds of Justin and Josh together coming from Justin's closed bedroom door. "Thai?" Kevin asked, Nick nodding. "Yeah, we'll go get it and bring it back. Some for the two hornballs too."

By the time they got back the apartment was relatively quieter. Kevin and Nick were sitting at the table eating their take out when Justin's door opened, both men stumbling out looking sated. "Bout fucking time." Kevin laughed as Josh gave him the finger.

"Did you guys get us some?" Nick pushed Justin away as he approached, mouth open.

"Yeah we did. But go take a shower first, you reek."

"Like you smell like roses," Justin shot back leaning in to sniff. With a frown he pulled away. "You do. You fucking smell like roses."

"We took a shower, ass, something you desperately need to do. Now go."

Twenty minutes later Josh and Justin emerged from the shower, also smelling like roses. Although Kevin and Nick were done eating, they joined the two as they ate their dinner. "There's something we wanted to talk to you two about," Josh said after swallowing a mouthful of pad Thai. "About earlier."

An air of discomfort settled over the room and Josh nodded.

It was Justin who spoke. "Exactly, this is what we want to talk about. This ....pause. This air of awkwardness."

"Okay."

"It's bullshit. I fucking hate the fact that we're going to be awkward with each other now. Everyone needs to get over it," Justin was matter of fact his expression clearly that of him being unimpressed. "Nick and I kiss each other all the time, it's never been an issue before."

It was true, but somehow it felt different. Strange. And as much as they didn't want it to be like that, it was. "Yeah but..."

"But what?"

No one had anything to add and so Justin sat back with a smile on his face. "See, you know it. You know this is fucked up. So get over it." He stood up to throw out the styraphome carton his food came in seeing Kevin's eyes dart to where he was standing. When their gazes locked, Kevin looked away quickly. "You CAN look at me Kev. Unless what happened outside was so awful you don't WANT to look at me. That you can't stand to look at me."

"It's not that..."

Justin rolled his eyes and walked over to where Josh was sitting. He lifted his face and waited for him to finish swallowing his food. When the coast was clear he kissed him thoroughly until the older man was breathless. Justin stood up and then went to Nick, doing the exact same thing. Justin finally approached Kevin, cupping his cheek in his hand. "See. It doesn't have to be weird." He leaned down and pressed their mouths together. It was a chaste kiss that quickly turned into more. And as quickly as it started, Justin pulled away. He sat down on Kevin's lap and forced him to look at him.

"If you're worried about what this means, stop. I'm not going to be plotting to get Nick out of the picture. I'm not going to be dumping Josh because I'm suddenly in love with you. So get over yourself," Justin winked to show Kevin he was kidding. "And I know that Nick isn't going to be offing me to get to Josh. We know where we belong, but damn Kev.. isn't it fun to play?"

Kevin was lost in Justin's eyes and he couldn't help but agree. "Yes."

"Now all of you, stop being such pussies. You're like fucking women. Between Josh whining that everything was going to change and what a mistake it was because he hated the fact that we might have fucked everything up with you, and you two barely able to look us in the eye... Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only man here."

Nick let out a deep sigh of relief and stood up grabbing onto Justin's hand to haul him to his feet. He wrapped his arms around his best friend and held him close, whispering a word of thanks in his ear.

Once everything was put away and cleaned up, it was time to head out to the bar. Kevin and Justin went up ahead, leaving Nick and Josh alone to lock up and chat. "So, everything is okay?" Josh asked softly.

"Of course. It was bound to happen at some point. I just don't want you thinking it was a mistake."

"Not a mistake in the way you think, I just. I didn't realize how attracted to you I was. How jealous of Kevin and Justin I am. They have this free access to you that I never had. I just ...."

"Feel on the outside. I understand. It's the same way I feel about you, and the same way that Kevin feels about Justin. I think we just needed something to break the ice." As they walked down the street, Kevin and Justin were visible a few feet ahead of them. Nick reached over to grab onto Josh's hand. "I can tell you honestly that I don't think that this gives us free reign. I'd be really pissed to walk into the apartment one night after work to find J and Kev making out or some shit. That's just whack."

Josh nodded, it was exactly what he was thinking too. "Yeah."

"But we don't have to be so awkward around each other. There has always been this distance between J and Kevin, between you and me. We practically live in each other's pockets, it's insane that we're so distant. You know?"

"It's insane how much he loves you, you know. He would do anything for you. I've never seen him like this before."

Nick wasn't sure if Josh was talking about Justin or Kevin. As if Josh could understand that, he chuckled.

"Justin loves you too, don't doubt that, but I mean Kevin. We have spent countless nights discussing it. How he loves you and can't believe that you two found each other. That he's so lucky and he's waiting to wake up one day to find it's all been a dream." Nick couldn't stop the grin that had covered his face, his stomach jumping with butterflies. At that exact minute, the two men ahead of the paused to turn back, Kevin's gaze locking on Nick's. Even in the dark they could read each others' expressions. Nick could feel the love coming from the older man.

"I know. I feel the same way." They stopped walking and Josh pulled Nick into his arms.

"I'm glad. You both deserve all the happiness in the world."

"You too."

They shared a soft kiss. "Happy Pride Nick." He then squeezed Nick's hand before dropping it and jogging to catch up with his lover and best friend. Josh and Justin clasped their hands together and headed forward to the bar, leaving Kevin to wait for Nick to catch up. When he met his lover, Nick found himself engulfed in an all encompassing embrace.

"I love you babe," Kevin whispered against Nick's temple where he pressed his lips softly.

"I love you more."

"Not possible." They slowly walked down the street towards Howie's club, eventually catching up with Justin and Josh who were waiting at the door for them. "So, you ready to party?"

Nick grinned. "I'm ready for anything."
