I'm
about to go dark again

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Damn,
could these things get more boring?

Bryan
growled as he opened the back door to Spencer’s place, closing it behind him
and rubbing his eyes. He had to smile as he heard the distant meow, remembering
he had locked the kitten in his room before he had left.

Stepping
into the hallway he slowed as he spotted the front door ajar, remembering that
Spencer had told him that he was going to pick up some groceries on the way
back, meaning that Bryan should have gotten home well before him.

“Ian?
What have I told you about closing the door?”

“Ian’s
not here.”

Bryan
stiffened as he heard the voice, turning and spotting those clear blue eyes, icy
cold as they bore into him. “What do you
want?”

“Not
much.” Bryan swung around as the other stepped into view, crimson eyes burning
as he tapped the crowbar against the palm of a gloved hand. “Just a little
chat.”

~~~~*~~~~

“Man
that was boring.” Ray sighed, dropping onto Lee’s bed as his friend joined
him. “I swear these meetings are getting worse.”

“I
don’t think you minded that much.” Lee smirked. “You looked pretty
comfortable from where I was sitting.”

Ray
felt his face warm as he averted his eyes. “So tell me everything about you
and Spencer.”

“What’s
to tell?” Lee sighed, closing his eyes. “We’ve been going together
‘officially’ for about four months. Before that you could say we were
going out, but we didn’t really class ourselves as a couple.”

“I
see.” Ray raised an eyebrow. “You told me you two weren’t good friends.”

“We’re
not ‘good’ friends.” Lee shrugged. “Like I said, we’re friends.”

“Boyfriends.”

“Still
friends.”

“You
can be so frustrating at times.” Ray sighed, shaking his head as a smile
played across his lips. “Have you ever…”

Lee
crossed his arms over his chest. “Have I ever what?”

“Have
you and Spencer ever actually… you know, done
it?”

“You
mean gone all the way?” Lee shrugged. “Yeah, a few times. We try not to
overdo it.”

Ray
looked at him. “Not overdo it?”

“Like
you overdid it with Kai and Tala. Keep screwing them and you eventually get sick
of them.” He paused. “Not that I call what Spencer and I have done
‘screwing’.”

Ray
had to smile. “You class it as making love.”

Lee
shrugged it off, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Pretty much.”

“I’ve
got to ask.” Ray leant forward. “Spencer’s a lot… taller
than you are. I mean, standing next to him I feel like a midget and-”

“Just
say it, Ray. How big is his dick?” Lee chuckled. “That’s always the thing,
isn’t it?”

Ray
felt his cheeks warm. “Sometimes.”

“Hn.”
Lee bit back a grin. “It’s a bit bigger than what they consider average but
nothing I can’t handle.”

“Does
it hurt?”

“It
always hurts, no matter how big it
is.” Lee shrugged it off. “I have trouble swallowing him though I can make
it if I try. That will probably give you a fair idea. Nevertheless we go
easy.”

“Ah.”
Ray rubbed the back of his neck. “Kai’s average. Tala, believe it or not, is
smaller than average.”

Lee
burst out laughing. “Bullshit!”

“I
kid you not.” Ray grinned. “You’d think with all the testosterone he’d
be huge, but he isn’t. He doesn’t seem to care, though. What he lacks in
size he makes up for in ego. Not to mention both he and Kai were good in bed to
begin with.” Ray glanced to the side. “God, I’m glad Mariah’s not in
here, otherwise we’d be hearing all about Kevin.”

“Ugh,
Ray!” Lee winced, shuddering at the
thought before he looked up and raised an eyebrow. “Ever wondered about
Bryan?”

“Eh…”
Ray tried to keep his face impassive. “Not really.”

Lee
blinked, seeing through the mask. “Waaait a minute. You know
what Bryan is, don’t you?” Ray looked aside, a grin playing across Lee’s
lips. “You have slept with him.
When?”

Ray
bit his lip, knowing he’d never hear the end of it but knowing Lee would
badger him until he got an answer. “Remember that meeting of the team captains
a while back?” Lee nodded. “Well, both Tala and Kai went and I… got
lonely.”

Lee
let out a disbelieving laugh. “This is just great. Damn you guys are good
actors. Never would have guessed. Spencer is gonna love hearing this.” Leaning
forward, Lee poked Ray in the chest. “Well? How big?”

“You’re
obsessed.” Ray sighed, shaking his head before he smiled. “Bryan’s…
perfect.”

“You
may not realise it, my friend, but you have it bad.” Lee straightened, letting
out a long breath. “Ray, admit it, you are head over heals for Bryan.”

“I
am not!” Ray glared at him. “Didn’t see me drooling today, did you?”

“Maybe
not, but I did see some flirting.”
Lee smirked. “From both parties, I must add.”

“Bryan
was not flirting.”

“Looked
like he was to me.”

“Lee,
you’re just an arrogant…” Ray’s voice trailed off as his eyes lost
focus, Lee frowning.

“Ray?”
No reply. “Ray? Ray, what is it?”

“It’s…
cold.” Ray shivered. “Something’s wrong, Lee. Something is very wrong.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Lee
certainly is a playful one, and Ray is just as bad. And I think Bryan's in
trouble.
