Once the conversation - more like argument - with Gus, Riley went home for the night, trying to digest the information she had received. The blond wanted to piece it all together, and most of all calm down before she went to Jamie. Besides, it was about two, three in the morning now. She knew Marcus would be there, asleep with Jamie, and he couldn’t be there when she told him. If Jamie really believed Gus was dead, then she would have to show him he wasn’t. Jamie was as stubborn as Riley was, and she knew Jamie would never believe her unless she proved it.

Morning came much too quickly for Jamie. He had forgotten to close the blinds the night before, so at about nine o clock, the sun forced him to get out of his bed. Sleepily he got up, closing the blinds for Marcus, since he wasn’t facing the window. And when Jamie was up, he was up all day, even though he’d be exhausted by about five in the afternoon. Jamie never woke up before ten. It was like, illegal in Jamie’s world. He walked into his rather large walk in wardrobe, and picked out some clothes. He slipped them on, and went into his kitchen, turning the heater on with the simple click of a button on a conveniently placed remote. He sighed, knowing Marcus would be up soon and started to make some pancakes. Jamie had been cooking every single meal for Marcus since they had gotten together. It was like that with Gus, but it felt like more of a chore when he did it for Marcus. Gus never asked for nice food, Jamie just loved cooking for him. But, he didn’t want to think about that.

Marcus woke up just as Jamie was finishing their pancakes. Jamie felt kisses on his neck, and arms around his waist. “Mmmm, smells good” “Thank you~” “Baby, you’re too good to me” “Mmmhmm” Jamie put the seven or eight pancakes he had made on a plate, decorating them with icing sugar and syrup, and even a few strawberries. Once Jamie could pry Marcus off of him, they sat down and started to eat. Jamie had also made coffee, and was sipping from a cup of the black liquid while Marcus talked. “Have you gotten any more information for the next job?” he asked, finishing his second pancake. Jamie wasn’t even halfway through his first. He shook his head, swallowing his bite of pancake before he spoke. “No, I mean, I’ve been pretty full on lately. Plus, this guy’s a lot harder to get dirt on. His record’s pretty clean” “What does it matter if his record’s clean or not?” Jamie frowned at Marcus. “I’m not going to con someone who hasn’t done anything wrong. That’s not fair” Marcus seemed to get angry very quickly.

“********, Jamie life isn’t fair! What kind of ******** wonderland do you live in where bad things only happen to bad people!?” he exclaimed, getting up and walking around the table to pull Jamie up by his arm rather roughly. “Marcus!” Jamie exclaimed, but Marcus didn’t listen. He pulled Jamie into the next room, glaring down at the little blond, holding his arms very very tightly. “Marcus, you’re hurting me!” Jamie yelled, and he was pushed to the floor, hitting his arm on the coffee table. He was sure he had heard some sort of snap. He screamed, clutching his arm to his chest. Marcus seemed to come to his senses, and kneeled by Jamie’s side, looking like a guilty puppy. “Oh my god! Jamie, I’m so sorry!” he exclaimed and pulled Jamie to sit up, supporting his back with one hand. Tears of pain slipped from Jamie’s eyes. “Let me see it” he said softly, and Jamie extended his broken arm with difficulty. “It really, really hurts” he said, the pain overpowering his new fear for Marcus. He was capable of a lot more than Jamie thought. “Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital” and Jamie was lifted up bridal style and taken to the car. Marcus gave him an ice pack first, so his arm didn’t swell up or anything.

Once they were at the hospital, waiting for the doctor in a small, white room full of medical supplies. Marcus was standing by Jamie, who was sitting up on the table in the middle of the room. The ravenette was holding the hand of Jamie’s good arm, looking guilty. “Jamie, I’m really sorry. I don’t know what came over me, I just snapped. I never wanted to hurt you, please know that” he said, running a hand through Jamie’s hair. He nodded. “I know, it’s okay. Really. I know you didn’t mean it” he said, but he didn’t know. What if this whole thing was a massive death trap for him? He wouldn’t put it past Marcus not to be an a*****e, but he had never been an a*****e to Jamie before. Soon enough, the doctor came in and gave Jamie a cast – which took like three hours – and they could go home. Jamie didn’t need a sling or anything, but he was sent to bed rest for at least about a day, since he hit his head pretty bad too.

Marcus had announced he needed to check up on his day job, that he’d be home around seven. Jamie nodded, and he fell asleep in their rather large bed pretty quickly thanks to a little morphine the doctor had given him. Unfortunately, his slumber was interrupted by an aggravated Riley, who had somehow picked their lock and gotten into the house. “Jamie!” she exclaimed, slamming the door of the bedroom against the wall. “Jesus!” he exclaimed, sitting up instantly and glaring at his sister. “What the ******** are you doing in my house?” “I need to tell you something. Oh my god, DID YOU BREAK YOUR ARM!?” “No, I have a fetish for casts, yes I broke my arm!” he exclaimed, standing up with difficulty. “When, how?” “Today, I tripped in the living room, and I hit my arm on the table. I also have somewhat of a concussion, so can you leave so I can sleep?” he asked, but Riley pulled him into the living room and explained everything

Jamie was a little bit more than stunned. He was so surprised, of course he believed his sister over Marcus. For his sister would never dare lie to him. They were much too close for anything of that sort. But still, Jamie wanted proof as Riley had anticipated, so she took him to Gus’ apartment. Not before getting him a little drunk first. He could walk, talk, think almost clearly, but he was brutally honest. Too honest (he had even told Riley that Marcus got aggressive and pushed him down onto the coffee table). Like all drunk minds are. Jamie and Riley knocked on the door, holding onto each other to stand up, as they waited for Gus to answer the door.

badassIt wasn't long after his run in with Riley that Marcus came by for another "visit". Gus was pissed that the guy had found him - he was pretty sure Marcus didn't know where he lived, but apparently somebody tipped him off, and he came to Gus the next day. He laid a few good punches on Gus - Gus was still hungover from the night before - before walking out, leaving Gus with a black eye, and stiff jaw. But, that was it - no gun this time, thank God. Well, of course, there was a warning about leaving Jamie alone and what not, and yeah, Gus heard it all before so he didn't need it again, thanks. He ******** up, what a shocker. The male always ******** up, but he couldn't help it when he saw Jamie. Jamie was the love of his life, and not having him in his life hurt more than anything he had dealt with.

badassBut, after that, a day or two went by without a hitch. No visits from sisters or evil bastards. Gus went back to work at the bar - he told the guys he got into a fight with some a*****e at another bar in the next town over - and tried to move on. He had planned on just getting plan wasted again, but he needed to work. He couldn't just abandon his job - he had done enough of that in the past, abandoning things. He needed to do this, try and live a normal life. So, he went back to work, and acted like everything was okay. His co-workers or patrons at the bar didn't seem to notice anything was wrong, and Gus was happy about it (but, then again, he had been conning for so long he was able to mask his emotions pretty well when he needed or wanted to). Life seemed to move on again, even though it was moving as slow as it possibly could. Days seemed to never end, and Gus was moving like a robot now. Getting up, doing errands, going to work, sleeping - it was all automatic at this point, along with the drinking he did after work or before work, or whenever he had the time. But, he lived, and that was the good thing - or maybe it really wasn't.

badassThough, finally, there was a knock at his door. Gus sighed, pushing himself off the couch - whoever it was better have an important excuse since the game was one, and nobody interrupted Gus during football games - and moving toward the door. When he opened the door, he was confronted with Riley and Jamie. Gus' eyes widened at the sight, but he also noticed that both of them were a little tipsy. "What the hell are you doing here?" he hissed at Riley, pretty sure that this had been her idea to bring Jamie here, and bring him by a little drunk since that's when Jamie was more open with anybody (well, other than Gus - he was pretty open with him all the time). "And, what did you tell him?" Yes, Gus was pretty sure Jamie knew something at this point. Riley pushed passed Gus, holding up Jamie, who looked up at Gus and beamed at him, yelling out his name. Without warning, he latched onto Gus, almost knocking the taller male off his feet, but he held his ground. Automatically, his arms wrapped around Jamie's middle, and god did it feel good to hold the smaller male again. It was like nothing had changed - he fit there like he had all those months ago. But, it was clear that Jamie's one arm was broken. "What the hell happened?" he asked.

badass"That's why we came by," Riley began, plopping herself down on his couch and before she could say another word, Jamie went on. He apologized for thinking that Gus was dead, and how could he ever think that? And, how Marcus had been the one who told him that Gus was dead, and how he married Marcus because of all this s**t, and that Marcus was the one who broke his arm, and that's the part Gus stopped listening to his ranting. Marcus broke Jamie's arm? Gus' blood boiled. Nobody hurt Jamie. "Damn it! I should have known that b*****d would hurt you at one point," Gus said, pushing some of Jamie's blonde strands away form his face, and looking at it. "So, what are you going to do about this?" Riley finally said, making Gus look to her as she sat comfortably on his couch. "Going to the police isn't going to do anything. Jamie forgot what happened that night he came and shot me - sure you told him what happened, but it is heresy. They won't take that serious, and the arm breaking won't get him in jail long enough," Gus said, and then Jamie mentioned the conning - he could tell them about the conning. Yes, he was very truthful when he was slightly tipsy. "If you're part of it, they'll use that against you and could put you in jail. You could attempt to bargain, but you'll still land in jail, Jamie. They aren't light on us conners," Gus said. Gus knew how the police system worked - his dad had been in the police force for years, and Gus knew the ins and outs of how the system actually worked. Jamie could make a deal, but he was sure Jamie would still spend time in jail if he opened his mouth, and Gus was sure to keep Jamie out of jail. If he got in jail, who knows what would happen to a pretty boy like Jamie.

badass"Well, we've gotta do something!" Riley exclaimed, throwing her hands up in air. "This b*****d hurt, Jamie! And, he shot you, and ******** you two over royally! We can't let him get away with this!" Riley was right - they couldn't, but what could they do. Even if he did get in jail for hurting Jamie, it wouldn't be for long - two years, three years tops since there was no past violent history between him and Jamie. Then, once in was out, Gus and Jamie would b ********. Hell, they could be ******** even when he was in prison. Gus was sure Elliot was still out there, and would gladly spy for Marcus while he was in jail, and even kill if he had to.

Jamie was somehow very interested in his shoes as he heard the door open. He looked down, biting on the pointer finger of his broken arm and once he was being pulled into the apartment and looked up, grinning at Gus. So he was alive! A Large tsunami of relief flowed over Jamie, and he started shaking he was so excited. “GUS!” he exclaimed, jumping up and clinging to his ex boyfriend. “I’m so sorry for thinking you were dead. Marcus told me you died in some car crash that I was in and that’s why I don’t remember anything from that night. And you have to understand that I thought you were dead, and Marcus was there for me and . . . That’s why I married him. But I see that it’s all bullshit now, and I don’t know what to do, oh, and he’s the one who broke my arm. He threw me on the coffee table after an argument this morning. I don’t know what set him off, I don’t know what I did or said or—“ but Gus interrupted Jamie’s not-so-interesting rant. He knew? How could he have known? Jamie was just about to question that, but Gus pushed some of his blond hair away from his eyes with one of his rough, calloused hands and caught Jamie in a gaze he couldn’t break.

Jamie remembered Gus’ rough hands, his always sweet scented breath, and his myriad of tattoos dancing down his muscle arm. He remembered it all. How his lips felt on his own, how every time they had ever had sex, he would get there. How Gus usually never let go of him in public. They were always holding hands, or Gus’ arm was around Jamie’s slim waist or on his thigh if they were sitting down. With Marcus, Jamie found this over-protective and smothering. God, Jamie hated Marcus. Well, he did now. Now that he had found out the love of his life, Gus was really alive and that his whole marriage was a sham. And when Riley started talking, Jamie didn’t move out of Gus’ grasp. He stayed close, both of his hands on either side of Gus’ chest. Gus’ arms were around his waist again, and Jamie smiled. He loved this feeling. This feeling of butterflies in his tummy, a feeling he just didn’t get with Marcus. Then again, Jamie didn’t love Marcus. He loved Gus.

Jamie listened non-chalantely and looked back up at Gus. “What about the conning, can’t I tell them about the conning?” he asked, hopeful his idea would work. But, Gus said that it wouldn’t because he would soon find out Jamie was an accomplice and would be taken away too. “Oh, right . . .” he said, thinking again. Riley and Gus kept talking. Riley was right. They had to do something, and by a stroke of luck and idea was presented to the blond. “I know what we could do” he said, after a long moment’s silence. Both Riley and Gus looked at him like he was a maniac, but he continued on anyway. “We could get him to do something bad. Like . . . Like cheat on me or something. And then I ‘find out’, and divorce him” he said, sitting next to Riley. It was an okay plan, it needed a little something, but it was getting there, that’s for sure. “That’s not half bad” “Thanks!” said Jamie, proud of himself.

“But it has to be more than once. I think, on the third time, you catch him in the act. And you tell him you want a divorce or something” said Riley, and Jamie nodded. “I’m such a smartie” he said with a grin, crossing his legs on the couch. “Comfy” he commented, and Riley nodded “I know right?’, and they both looked up to Gus, waiting for some kind of reaction from him.

badassCheating? Gus didn't really understand how this would work - sure, he understood the concept of cheating (he did it once, remember?), but it didn't put Marcus away, and that was the fact that concerned Gus the most. But, Jamie and Riley both figured the plan might actually work, so Gus went with it. Though, he was more concerned about the fact that Jamie would get hurt if he tried to leave Marcus. So, he made a back up plan - when the confrontation came, Gus was going to make sure he was around. He wouldn't be visible to Marcus, but he would be near the home just incase something did happen. And, if something did happen, he would have the police on speed dial so that he could call them if they were needed. Marcus might do anything to keep Jamie, and Gus didn't want to take the chance. Though, that was only if this plan worked. How they would get Marcus to cheat on Jamie was another questioned since he apparently loved Jamie to death.

badassBut, the two of them were con artists, they could play this game, and Jamie knew people - knew beautiful people, who were willing to help them out. One of Jamie's model friends, Jackson, ended up agreeing to help them out. He didn't know the whole story - didn't need to know - but, he knew the basic point of what they were trying to do. Jamie needed to leave Marcus, for good, and he couldn't do it without reason, so Jackson was willing to provide that reason for him. Gus had no idea if this was really going to work, but after a few meetings between Jackson and Marcus, who "accidently" bumped into each other, he was informed by Jamie that Marcus had jumped into bed with Jackson. Also, according to Jackson, he had done it without too much of a push that time. And, then there ended up being another time, and another time, and before you knew it, it had been five times before Jamie had even confronted Marcus.

badassGus was at the home, just outside of it, car sitting on the opposite side of the street, while Gus stood behind a tree and listened for anything that might have him calling the police. At first, there was just yelling - Jamie was playing a convincing hurt husband - back and forth, and Marcus apologizing that he was sorry about what happened, and that it would never happen again, but Jamie claimed he wasn't having any of that, and told Marcus he wanted a divorce. That was when it turned ugly, and all of the sudden, he heard Jamie scream, and immediately, he was calling the police, giving them the address, and telling him that he was hearing screaming from inside, and it didn't sound pretty. They said they would rush somebody over, but after one terrifying scream, Gus couldn't just stand there, and he quickly came out from around the tree, and rushed the front door. When he entered the home, he quickly made his way to the bedroom where they had been having the conversation to find Marcus holding Jamie by the hair, pulling his head back. His arm, which had been healing, was once again, broke. Blood was dripping down his face, his nose clearly broken, and he was kneeling, tears streaming down his face, pleading with Marcus to stop. Marcus' head snapped up to Gus, and he snarled. "You." "Let him go, you b*****d," Gus snapped, moving closer to the two of them, but Marcus grabbed Jamie's broken arm, and twisted it, causing Jamie to scream with pain, and breaking Gus in two. Without warning, he charged at Marcus, knocking him back, and away from Jamie. "You b*****d," he snarled, wrestling with Marcus on the floor. Each of them were kicking and punch, and Gus swear he heard his rib crack at a particular kick, but he continued to fight. But, one particular kick caused Gus to fall off of the other male, and on to the ground in pain. It gave Marcus just enough time to get a gun from the dresser drawer, and point it directly at Gus. His lip was bleeding and he was breathing heavy as he cocked the gun. "I should have done this months ago," he spat, but before he could pull the trigger, the police were the bedroom door. "PUT THE GUN DOWN!" they yelled, but Marcus didn't listen, and turned back to Gus, finger beginning to pull the trigger, but before he could, another shot went off, and the police officer fired, shooting Marcus in shoulder, causing him to go down. When he was on the ground, the officers ran to him, and check his pulse - he was dead, the officer hitting a main artery.

badassGus, who had been laying on the floor, dead silent and still this whole time let out a breathe he hadn't realized he had been holding. It was over - Marcus was dead. It was finally over. Jamie and him, they could be together again. "Jamie!" Gus cried, and scrambled over to Jamie, who was laying on the floor, tears streaming down his eyes. "It's okay, baby. It's all over, it's all over" he whispered before the officers told him to move as the paramedics came in and began checking over Jamie, while two others began looking over Gus. It was over at last.

Jamie thought his idea was a pretty safe game to play. It had nothing to do with Gus, it was all Marcus and him. If Marcus cheated, Jamie was entitled to be mad. Furious in fact. But, first they needed someone who was willing to sleep with Marcus a few times in order to help Jamie out. Ah, Jamie knew just the person. He dialed one of his best friends from the modeling agency. “Yeah?” “Hey, Jackson I need you to do me a favor”

And so it began. Jackson agreed to help Jamie out, and although they had agreed on three times before Jamie confronted Marcus about it; apparently it had gone up to almost six times. Jackson had gone to Marcus for the first few times they had done it; but the rest Marcus came to him for it. They were caught the almost sixth time, and Jamie actually ended up getting told Marcus was cheating by the guy that caught Jackson and Marcus in a club’s bathroom. Jamie pretended to be all shocked and hurt, and immediately ran out of the photo shoot he was doing. As he got a cab home, he called Gus to tell him that it was on, and that he should wait outside their house or something, in case things got ugly, which he didn’t see happening. Marcus shouldn’t get mad, but he was pretty unpredictable at times.

Jamie took a deep breath before he entered the house, slamming the door extra hard for effect. “MARCUS!” he screamed, and seeing as Marcus was already home, he was sure to hear the little blond yelling. “What, What?” he asked, coming out of the study. “Guess who I saw today!?” he yelled going up into the bedroom, so Gus could easily hear them yelling, and if Marcus snapped, he would hear that too. “Jesus, Jamie, what’s wrong? Who did you see today?” “I saw Patrick! He saw you and Jackson almost ******** in the Rave’s bathroom!” “Jamie, it’s not what you think!” “Oh really!? Then how come when I talked to Jackson about it, he said you guys screwed five other times!?!?” he screamed, and Marcus ran a hand through his hair. “Come on, Jamie! I just ******** up, it was nothing!” “Five times!?” “I’m sorry! It won’t happen again!” “Bullshit! I want a divorce!”

And so Marcus snapped, first off, punching Jamie in the face, and he felt the bone in his nose crack, and he screamed, falling to the floor. “You wont divorce me” he said, and grabbed Jamie’s still healing arm (he had the cast taken off, because he really didn’t need it for long), and broke it once more. A terrified scream came from his mouth, and Marcus pulled on his hair as Jamie tried to get on his knees. “Marcus, please stop, please!” he said, groaning as Marcus pulled on his hair again. And that’s when Gus barged in, tears were already streaming down the little fragile thing’s cheeks, and once Marcus let go of him, he lay down on the floor, and didn’t know what was going on around him. The pain was too much. He heard a gunshot, and some yelling and he had already guessed that Marcus shot Gus. Jamie cried harder, screaming again as he felt hands on his back, lifting him into sitting position. It was the paramedics. They instantly started cleaning up his nose, giving him tissues to hold up on his nose, because it was still bleeding. It registered in his brain that Gus was whispering to him that it was over. He looked over to the brunette, who seemed in pretty good health. The gunshot he heard must have been one of the cops shooting Marcus, and there he was, bleeding all over the white carpet of their master bedroom. As the paramedics checked out his arm, he winced and smiled at Gus. It really was all over. They could be themselves again, they didn’t have to hide from anyone, and they didn’t have to listen to anyone anymore. It was over.

Not thirty minutes after the big incident, Jamie and Gus were taken to hospital. Gus got all wrapped up and given pain meds; he had a fractured rib that should heal up in about three or four weeks. Jamie was sent to get his arm put back in a cast, and taken into surgery for a little bit for his nose. They pretty much glued the bones back together, to save him from wearing a dorky nose thing; he was a model after all. So he only had to put gauze over it the first few days, but it soon got taken off and so did the stitches. Now, he only had a small scar, but you could barely see it. Gus had to stay overnight, mainly because they didn’t want him walking around so soon. Jamie stayed all night, holding Gus’ hand. The nurses would have asked him to go home, but, he really couldn’t since as it was a crime scene and all. So, they let him stay with Gus for the night.

Jamie woke up around nine, and Gus slept a little longer because of the morphine he was given. Jamie and Gus caught a cab back to his place, and Jamie got a few phone calls from the police just to ask him some questions. Like ‘Had Marcus ever been violent before?’, ‘Why didn’t he speak to someone about it?’ and ‘Did Marcus have life insurance?’. Stuff like that. Marcus did have life insurance, and apparently, Jamie was set to inherent all of the money from Marcus’ bank account, plus 30 million from his Life Insurance, and the house, and everything else Marcus owned. Jamie would keep his stuff, and sell everything else. Marcus’ clothes, the billion dollar house, the ring, everything Marcus had bought him, and especially the ring. He would sell it to a jeweler; he couldn’t bare it if he kept it.

But Jamie was finally happy. He had Gus back, and they were living in his apartment; for the time being. Really, when all the money came through from Marcus’ accounts, Jamie really wanted to buy a fabulous house with Gus. He had enough money now, but he just wanted to be sure that Gus wanted that life with him. Jamie wasn’t sure if Gus wanted the straight life, to be just normal each other, no conning, no Marcus, no Charlie; just them. Right now, Jamie was lying on Gus’ chest (Jamie didn’t want to hurt him, but Gus insisted), and they were almost asleep from all the morphine they were supposed to take, and Jamie smiled. He nuzzled into Gus’ chest. “I love you, Gus” he said, slightly tightening the grip his arms around Gus’ neck. “What do you think would have happened if today didn’t happen?” he asked, curious. Gus and Jamie certainly wouldn’t be together, that’s for sure.

badassAfter being checked over by the paramedics at the home, Gus and Jamie were taking to the hospital, where Gus was put on morphine, and forced to stay there for a night because of his cracked rib. If Gus could, he would make sure that he would never have to be in a hospital ever again. Honestly. Two gun shot wounds, and now a fractured rib - it was ridiculous. Why did this all happen to him? Though, better him than Jamie, that was for sure. He had fought to leave the hospital, saying that he wouldn't walk around, but they kept insisting that he stay, and Gus finally gave him (though, it could have been that the medicine had gotten him so tired that he finally agreed). He slept heavily that night, and woke up quite late in the afternoon, in which he was then released - of course, not without some meds and a warning to not walk around much for the next couple of days. And, to keep his weight off the rib.

badassThough, he wasn't doing a great job of that since he had Jamie laying on him right now. Not all over him, but he was on him. Gus had insisted - he was fine. He had bones messed up long ago, and they always healed - this would heal. So, Jamie was laying on him, and Gus was just letting his mind wander, trying to grasp the fact that this was finally over. It was as if he didn't know it was, but his mind just couldn't really grasp that fact. He had been running away from Marcus, hiding from Marcus for so long that now, he was free. Him and Jamie could finally be together like they had been so many months ago, and they didn't have to hide it from anyone. Everyone could know again, and Gus wouldn't be so lonely anymore. He had Jamie again, and it was the best thing in the world.

badassA small sigh escaped Gus' lips as he ran his hand through Jamie's blonde hair, feeling a little bit drosey from the morphine they had given him and Jamie before they left. Then, he heard Jamie's voice, and he smiled softly, looking down at the male. "I love you, too, Jimmy," he whispered, leaning down and placing a soft kiss to the top of the blonde's head. Then, Jamie asked him what would have happened if what happened to Marcus didn't happen. "Well, we won't be together, that's for sure. We would probably be hiding our relationship again, that's if you had realized - without Riley's help - that I really wasn't dead. And, if Marcus found out, then we could actually be the ones six feet under instead of him," Gus admitted, not really liking that idea. So, he was very thrilled it wasn't him and Jamie that were dead, but that b*****d Marcus.

badass"So, what do we do now that we're going to be filthy rich again?" Gus asked with a hint of a smirk on his face. He knew that Jamie was inheriting a lot of money from Marcus, which wasn't shocking in the least. Jamie was probably the only person in Marcus' life, so for Jamie to gain everything he owned wasn't too shocking at all. "We don't have to con for a while, that's for sure. We could settle down, get house, have a few dogs, maybe a pool," Gus said, day dreaming about what it would be like to actually live a normal life with Jamie, without the conning and all that bullshit. It would be different, that's for sure, but Gus was pretty sure that right now, his life needed to be as normal as possible. Hearing a knock the door, Gus groaned. Apparently, the person on the other side of the door heard it. "Oh, shut up Gus and let me the ******** in. I wanna see Jamie!" Riley yelled through the door, and Jamie got up off the door and answered it. Of course, she latched onto Jamie right away, asking him how he was doing, and if he was okay, and how happy she was this was all over. Gus just smiled as he watched the two of them from the couch. "Hey, what about me?" he asked with a pout, and Riley just looked over at Gus for a moment before going back to Jamie. "b***h," he mumbled in a playful tone, and Riley looked back at him. "Shut up, you b*****d," she told him, and again, no harm was meant by the statement. Gus just let out a quick chuckle before resting himself into the couch once more with a small sigh.

Jamie snuggled into Gus’ chest, smiling. “Nah ah, I love you more!” he said, giggling. He listened to Gus speak about what would’ve happened if Marcus was dead. “Yeah, probably. I mean, luck’s not really our thing is it?” he asked, giggling a little bit more. It was funny how unlucky Gus and Jamie were. Especially Gus. He’d already gotten shot twice and now he had a fractured rib. And Jamie was always sucked into something or another one way or another. He was a little oblivious. Quick to judge, but even quicker to trust. Jamie smiled as Gus asked what they were gonna do now they were filthy, stinking rich again. Jamie shrugged. “I dunno. Probably buy a house. Can we buy a house?” he asked, grinning, being childish again. He listened to what Gus wanted to do. When the brunette said ‘settle down, get a house, have a few dogs’ Jamie actually thought he was going to say ‘kids’ not ‘dogs’. His heart fluttered in his chest. Jamie had always wanted a kid of his own. Always, always, always. And having one with Gus would absolutely make his whole year.

But then Gus went on to say ‘dogs’ and Jamie was disappointed, and he hoped it didn’t show. Anyway, what was the big deal? Dogs were like babies . . . almost. It would be good practice for him right? Right. Before Jamie could say anything, there was a knock at the door and some shouting, and Jamie knew it was his faithful older sister. He squealed. “Riley!” he exclaimed, running to the door and opening it. “Hey!” “Hey!” Riley latched onto Jamie, and the male latched back. After a moment, they let go and Riley bombarded him with questions. “How are you doing? Are you okay? I’m so glad that Marcus thing is all over, he was such a d**k” he said, and Jamie laughed. Gus exclaimed, and Riley looked at him, then back at Jamie and the two threw playful comments at each other. Jamie smiled, leading Riley over to where Gus and Jamie were sitting. Jamie sat back down on Gus’ lap and Riley sat next to Gus. “We should celebrate” said Riley, and Jamie nodded, and once again, they both looked up at Gus, almost asking for permission.

That night, they went out to Dinner and then Riley had to go back home to Josh, so Gus and Jamie went to the bar Gus’ bartended at. Gus was showing him how to make drinks when one of Gus’ co-workers came up to him and Jamie. “Hey what’s the blond doing behind the counter?” he asked, and Jamie blushed a little. Gus explained that this blond had a name and it was Jamie, and Jamie was his boyfriend. “Boss won’t like that” said the guy, and both Gus and Jamie frowned. “Why not? He hasn’t even met me” “Doesn’t matter. He’s majorly homophobic.” he said and Jamie scrunched up his nose. “How come?” asked Jamie and the guy just shrugged. “Dunno, to be honest. I’ll catch you later Gus. Nice to meet you Jamie” said the guy, and Jamie went around, and sat on the other side of the bar and ordered a scotch straight up. Once Gus had handed him the drink, a really large guy came over. He seemed like he was Gus’ boss or something. “Who’s this fruit cake?” he asked, glaring daggers at Jamie.

Jamie shook a little, sipping his drink. “I’m nobody, I just bought a drink” he said, getting his wallet out, and placing a twenty on the table. “We don’t welcome your kind here” said the big guy and Jamie frowned. “What do you mean my kind?” he asked, and Gus seemed to be fuming. “You’re not welcome here, f*****t. Now get the ******** out before I call the cops” he spat, and Jamie sighed, shrugging at Gus, and starting to leave.

badassOf course Riley wanted to celebrate, and quite frankly, Gus did as well. They were alive, and now, he and Jamie were finally back together - that called for a celebration right there. After all the s**t they had been through, they deserved to have some fun. So, they went out to dinner - not a fancy dinner, just a regular place - and had a few drinks. They weren't drunk - well, they would have been had Riley not had to go back home, Gus was pretty sure they would get smashed. But, alas, she left, and so did Gus and Jamie, but he didn't want to go back home just yet, so Gus decided to go to the bar where he worked, and introduce Jamie to some of the staff, maybe get a few drinks on the house (since he did work there). But, then he decided just to show Jamie how to make some drinks, and show him a few of the tricks he learned while bartending.

badassWhile Gus was showing Jamie how to make an appletini, one of Gus' co-workers, Jake, came over, asking who Jamie was. "This blonde has a name, and his name is Jamie, and he's my boyfriend," Gus answered, and Jake looked a little uneasy about this, which confused Gus. But, then he replied that the boss wouldn't like it, and Gus frowned. The boss, Kevin, was a nice guy, and Gus hadn't had a problem with him. Then again, he had never flaunted his sexuality before, but he had never seen Kevin kick anybody out either. Then again, he wasn't around much when the bar was packed - which is when Gus usually worked - so he hadn't seen Kevin really kick out anybody who was gay. Maybe a few rowdy people, but nobody who was gay, and trust Gus, there were a lot of them who came in. "Yeah, see ya, Jake," Gus said, giving a weak wave in Jake's direction before turning back to Jamie, who was heading to sit on the other side of the bar. He had a feeling that maybe they should leave, but Jamie didn't want to leave without a drink from his favorite bartender, so Gus obliged his request, and handed him a scotch straight up. Then, of course, that's when Kevin had to come out of his office.

badass"Hey boss," he said, but it got swallowed up by Kevin asking who Jamie was. Jamie replied cooly that he was a customer before slapping a twenty on the bar, and Gus rolled with it, taking the twenty from the bar and placing the amount for the drink - five bucks - in the register and pulling out Jamie's change as the two exchanged more words, and by the end of it, Gus was fuming at the cash register. He didn't know why Kevin was like this, and now that he found out that Kevin was like this, he did not want to be working for him anymore. Especially not after calling Jamie a f*****t. "You a*****e," Gus growled, and slammed the cash register, causing the two of them to look toward him. Kevin looked a little confused. "Gus, what-" "I quit," he said, walking back around the bar, and toward Jamie. "What? Why?" he asked, and Gus didn't respond with words. No, he just pulled Jamie closed to him and pulled him into a searing kiss, tongue moving against Jamie's. It only lasted a few seconds, but when Gus pulled away, he looked straight into Kevin's disgusted face. "That's why, ********]" he spat, and grabbed Jamie, taking him out of the bar, and back onto the street.

badass"Stupid a*****e. What the ******** is his ******** problem? Honestly, there isn't anything wrong with you, or me, or anybody else," Gus rambled. He always got heated when people hated upon gays. It was ******** stupid. "The only thing different about us is that we are sexual attracted to, and fall in love with guys instead of girls, and what was the problem with that? So, we can't procreate, big ******** deal, and it wasn't "right". Yeah, ******** that bullshit," Gus continued to rant, holding Jamie close to him as he continued to walk, that little limp still in his walk from when Marcus shot him. Feeling the need for a cigarette, Gus dug into his pocket and pulled out a lighter and the pack of cigarettes. Quickly, he lit one up, and placed it to his lips. "Well, I guess I'm gonna need a new job. Or, maybe I won't. We have that grease ball's money now," Gus went on, not wanting to even mention that a*****e's name. "Like we were saying before, we could buy a house, settle down, and have some dogs. And, maybe in the future, a kid or two," Gus added, smiling down softly at Jamie. He didn't miss the flash of disappointment across Jamie's face when he said dogs instead of kids. Gus did want to have kids, even though he was scared shitless about having them. Gus' dad wasn't the greatest parent, so what if he wasn't? But, what if he wasn't, at the same time? They could only figure out by trying, right? Though, he didn't want to have kids right away. A year or two, maybe. First, dogs. Then kids.

badass"Come on," Gus said, pulling Jamie in the direction of one of their old hangouts. "Let's go have some fun, like old times," and Jamie agreed, and the two of them headed straight to one of their many old hang outs. The moment they had entered the building, Gus already spotted a few people he remembered. It had been almost two years, but Gus always remembered faces, and apparently, so did some of the people. A few came over to them, asking them what the hell happened to the two of them, and Gus just said they had been traveling around for a little while, having themselves a small vacation. Of course, that was a lie, but they didn't need to know that. After talking to a few people, Gus and Jamie finally made their way to the bar where Gus ordered a beer, and told Jamie to order whatever he wanted. Jamie ordered and the bartender -who Gus didn't recognize - got them their drinks, giving Jamie a small wink before turning away. Gus growled. Apparently, somethings didn't change, even though the people did. Gus took a long sip of his beer before grabbing Jamie's hand with his free hand. "Come on. Let's dance," he said into the male's ear, dragging him into the dance floor. Of course, it was just filled with people grinding against each other, which is exactly what Gus and Jamie started doing, and quite frankly, Gus couldn't complain.

Jamie heard a slamming noise, and he turned around to see Gus telling his boss he was an a*****e, and that he was quitting. The blond frowned. But he instantly understood when Gus pressed his lips to Jamie’s in a hot kiss. But as soon as the kiss came, it left, and Gus was pulling Jamie out of the bar and he started to rant. “Gus! Gus, calm down!” Jamie explained with a grin on his face. Gus got riled up very easily, and he ranted quite a lot. Once Gus was finished ranting, Jamie stayed silent for a moment. “You are so cute when you rant” he said, giggling a bit, and snuggling into Gus’ chest. He had one arm around Gus’ waist, while Gus had am arm around Jamie’s shoulders. Jamie nodded when Gus said he wouldn’t really have to work anymore, since they were really swimming in money. Plus, Jamie reeled in about seven grand a week from the modeling agency. Jamie gasped as Gus said that maybe, along the track that they could have kids. “Reeeeally?” asked Jamie excitedly and once he got the confirmation from Gus, he latched onto him tightly. “Oh, thank you baby!” he exclaimed, kissing Gus on the cheek. He nodded as he was pulled into one of their favorite, but many hang outs they used to go to.

Jamie held Gus’ hand as they walked in, sticking to a story of they went away for a few years, going around the world. Course, most people raised their eyebrows and asked them how they could afford it. That’s when Jamie jumped in with a ‘my parents paid for it’. That seemed to satisfy everyone; they all knew the English’s were absolutely filthy rich. Even more rich than Gus and Jamie were about to become. The two approached the bar and some new bartender asked them what they wanted. Jamie asked for a dirty martini, while Gus got what he always got; a beer. He was simple that way. But, even though Jamie was absent for a few years, his reputation had not changed at the clubs. The bar tender winked at him, and Jamie nearly spat his martini out. That guy was ugly. And he’d come to hate it when people hit on him. He especially hated it when guys tried to hit on Gus. Although, he was positive that no one was game enough to do that since the last time. A little pipsqueak named Quinn started to come on to Gus, and Jamie got someone to drug his vodka spritzer. Nothing too big, he just passed out, and was probably high for a few hours but that’s it. No one dared hit on Gus again; Jamie had connections.

Jamie had only taken one sip of his drink before Gus pulled him onto the dance floor. Like most nights, the place was packed and you couldn’t dance without dancing with three or four people. But again, everyone made it their mission to exclude them; for one they didn’t want a broken nose, and two they didn’t want to be drugged. It was a lose-lose situation if anyone tried to cut in on either one of the males. Jamie and Gus danced for quite a while, and Jamie stopped counting after half an hour. It was close to two in the morning, and Jamie had a photo shoot tomorrow afternoon, he needed some sleep. But not without one last drink. Jamie leant up on his tippy toes and whispered in Gus’ ear. “Come on, I want a drink” he whispered, and held Gus’ hand, pulling him off of the dance floor. The music was pretty ******** loud, so Jamie could have yelled that sentence if he really wanted to. Soon enough, the two were at the bar and Jamie’s drink was ‘magically’ gone again. He ordered a vodka martini this time, thinking it might knock him out for most of the morning; he needed the sleep pretty badly.

Jamie smiled up at Gus as he sipped from his beer that was seemingly untouched beer that he had left on the bar. He snorted. That’d be about right. Jamie and Gus talked idly and once Jamie had finished his drink, he placed some money on the bar and asked Gus if they could go home, because he had to wake up rather early (early for Jamie was before 3pm). The two caught a cab home, which Gus had paid for. And Jamie had fallen asleep in. Alcohol didn’t really make Jamie drunk much (he was no light weight), but a certain amount of it made him really sleepy.

Luckily, before he had fallen asleep Jamie told Gus what time the shoot was, just in case he was hadn’t woken up himself by that time.

badassWhe next couple of weeks was spent in pure bliss. They were together almost twenty-four/seven, and there was nothing keeping them apart. It was heaven to Gus, and what made it even better was the fact that Marcus' money and property was finally theirs now. Of course, they didn't want anything of his save for the money, so Jamie went back to that house, along with Gus, and they picked up everything Jamie owned. The other stuff they sold or gave away to Goodwill, not wanting any reminders of Marcus. They also sold the house. It went pretty fast, which surprised Gus, but at the same time, was a good thing. They were now rid of Marcus forever, and they could move on with their own lives.

badassThe first thing they started doing after inheriting all the money, and getting rid of everything that was Marcus', the couple began looking at houses. Gus didn't want something too big since he didn't need that much space, but he wanted to make sure that they got something big enough for the future, when they started having kids. The idea still scared him, but Gus was sure he wanted them. But, first, they had to start with dogs. . .and a house. It took a while to find the perfect home - they went to at least a hundred or so (though, that could be Gus exaggerating, he wasn't too sure) before they finally found the one they wanted. It was nice sized home, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large basement, living room - the works. It was a gorgeous home, and Gus couldn't be more pleased with it, and Jamie seemed happy with it as well. So, they bought it, right on the spot.

badassThey didn't have too much to move in - all of things at Gus' apartment was ragged looking, and old, which didn't work with a new home. So, they went on a shopping spree for some new furniture to fill the home with. A new couch, a new chair, table, once again, the works - even a nice new bed that Gus made sure they had a "test drive" on the moment that they were officially moved into the place. But, now that they had finally settled into the house, it seemed a little. . .empty, and Jamie was quick to tell him why - they didn't have the dog yet. Or, well, dogs. Gus had a feeling that Jamie was trying to hint at the fact that they didn't have kids, but Gus didn't say anything - he told Jamie that it would be a while before that happened before, and wasn't going to repeat that statement. So, they headed over to the pound - in their brand new car, mind you.

badassWhen they arrived at the pound, they were bombarded with many different dogs behind bars, barking and yelping, trying to grab their attention. It hurt Gus to see so many dogs that didn't have homes. Gus had a soft spot for animals, and would have loved to give all the dogs a home, but they wouldn't be able to take care of all of them. Just two. . .maybe three. Holding Jamie's hand, they made their way through all the cages of dogs, Gus smiling at the happy little puppies that were wagging their tails at seeing the two males walking through the building. One dog caught his attention only a few seconds later. It was a black and white Great Dane. Gus loved big dogs, always had, and he always wanted one, but his pop never let him have a dog (he didn't let him have much, but that was a different story). The dog was still a young one - maybe a eight or so months old, if that (Gus couldn't tell, the dog was already quite large), and its' tail was moving quite rapidly as it sat nicely at the front door of it's cage. Gus bent down next to the cage. "Hey there, little guy," he said, and that caused the dog to bark happily and jump onto the bars. Gus chuckled, and reached his hand as best as he could through the bars to touch the dogs nose. It gave Gus a kiss, and it made Gus smile. "Well, aren't you friendly?" he said, paying a little more attention to the dog before he turned to Jamie. "Can we keep him?" he asked like a little kid, and Jamie laughed, and said that of course they could, but Jamie got to pick the next dog. Gus happily agreed, and looked back to the dog.

badass"So, do we have a winner?" Gus looked up to see a girl, with long blonde hair, and dark brown eyes looking down at him with a smile. It was quite clear that she was eyeing him up. Gus had to hold back a chuckle - what did she think he was holding Jamie's hand for? Was she that daft. Though, she was pretty, he'd give her that. "Yep, we've got a winner. What's his name?" "Tiberius," the girl answered, coming around the corner she had been leaning against, and next to Gus, bending down right by him, her body barely touching his as she cooed at the dog, who got all excited again. "I think you'll enjoy him. He's very sweet, and friendly, and he just loves to play," the blonde said - her name was Mindy (at least, that's what her name tag said) - before flipping some of her hair back, and looking at Gus with a glint of mischief in her eye, and a playful smile on her lips. If this had been years ago, he would have taken her home and ******** her into the next century, but alas, it wasn't - all he wanted was Jamie, Jamie, and well, Jamie. Not some blonde bimbo named Mindy. "Well, I think he'll fit into the family well, don't you, babe?" he asked, looking over to the boy who had already started looking for his own dog. The male looked back to the two of them, positively fuming at the girl - he must have noticed her come over before - and nodded, replying that he would fit in the family just well. Of course, by that point, the girl had already gotten that Gus wasn't free, and had stood up and moved way from Gus a bit. "Well, I'll go and get the papers started. If you need me again, I'll be up at the front," she said curtly before walking off in the opposite direction. Gus stood up, laughing a little bit, and moved over to Jamie. "God, what is it with me attract hot little blondes?" he joked, and Jamie just glowered at him, and Gus let out a small laugh, wrapping his arms around Jamie's waist, and pressing himself against the male's back. "Aw, come on, babe, you know damn well I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole. The only person I want is you," he said, and pressed a few kisses the the male's next. It must have calmed Jamie because he relaxed into his touch before pushing away and telling Gus he had to find his own dog, and quickly went searching. Gus smiled, and followed Jamie to find his own dog.

Jamie and Gus spent the next few weeks in pure happiness. They stayed with each other pretty much all day and all night. And it was the best few weeks Jamie had had in a long while. Soon enough, they had sold all of Marcus’ belongings and everything else inside the house that reminded Jamie of him. Including the house. He had thought about renting it out, but squashed that thought as he realized it might look like he was draining his dead husband of all the money he had. In the past week or so, they had defiantly going through about thirty or so houses. But when they found the right one, it was amazing. They moved in immediately, buying the place on the spot. All Jamie had to do was show the guy his debit card and he got out some sort of swipe machine. This was odd of him to carry around, but whatever.

Even when the two bought all new furniture, Gus was quick to point out that the house still seemed so empty. And Jamie was quicker to point out that they didn’t have any dogs yet. He almost said kids, but he caught himself. Gus said that it would be a while before that happened, and Jamie would be patient. Well, as patient as he could be. He defiantly couldn’t wait a year or two for a kid, in fact he wouldn’t wait for that long. Maybe if he showed Gus how good a parent he could be to their dogs, maybe he would change his mind about the wait. Jamie was always a very persuasive person . . .

A day or two after they moved into their new house, Jamie and Gus decided to go to the pound to get their dogs. As they walked past the cages, Jamie felt really bad for all the dogs. He was sort of an animal person, and he hated seeing upset animals, or animals that were treated badly. He was also a vegetarian. He never really ate meat, but he felt okay to cook it for Gus. If he wanted to eat meat that was his choice, but Jamie really didn’t like it. Jamie held onto Gus’ hand tightly, and smiled as Gus bent down in front of a cage. Inside there was a young Great Dane. “Awwww!” said Jamie. Tiberius was very, very cute. Jamie smiled down at him, and giggled as Gus asked if they could keep him. “Of course we can! But I get to pick the next one” he bargained, and once Gus stood up, a girl seemed to appear from nowhere. Jamie growled under his breath as the girl started hitting on Gus. Jamie hated that. Gus was his, and no ******** whore of a blond was going to take him away. Jamie scowled as Gus started talking to the girl. Ugh. He walked away, pretending to look for his own dog. He needed to get away before he stabbed that chick.

Gus called to him a few moments later, and he turned and nodded, glad that the stupid b***h was walking away, and finally understood that Gus was not up for grabs. Now or ever. And once the girl was gone, Gus made some comment about him attracting hot blonds. Jamie, of course, did not appreciate the comment and gave Gus a glare. But, like always, Jamie couldn’t stay mad at Gus for more than three seconds. Jamie relaxed into Gus’ touch as he wrapped his arms around him. Jamie out an arm up behind him and touch the back of Gus’ neck softly. “I knooooow. Come on, I wanna find my dog” he said, and detached himself from Gus, and they walked around, trying to find a dog suitable for Jamie. Jamie was a big softy, and he loved every dog he saw, but of course, Gus always said they couldn’t take them all. But one dog really caught Jamie’s eye. He instantly kneeled down in front of the dog’s cage. “Awwww” he said and the little German Sheppard puppy came up to him. Jamie put his hand in the bars and pet him. Jamie had always liked big dogs, especially German Sheppard’s, mainly cause they were really, really cute. Plus most people were super afraid of them, which made him laugh.

“Guuuuuuus, can we keep him? Pleeeeeaase?” he asked like Gus did before, and he laughed. The whore came over again and Jamie growled once more. “Do you like him?” she asked, and Jamie looked up. “Yeah, what’s his name?” he asked, standing up and grabbing Gus’ hand. “Uhm, I think it’s Harper” “Cool, we’ll take him” “Sure, come to the front desk” she said, and Jamie led Gus up to the front desk, pulling his wallet out of his jacket pocket.

badassGus smiled as Jamie relaxed under his touch - the male could never stay mad at him long enough for something so trivial as some blonde bimbo flirting with him, and him maybe flirting back. It was all part of his charm - and the fact that Jamie knew he wouldn't do anything, and that he was the only one he had eyes for. Jamie detached himself from Gus, and began looking for his puppy, Gus watching him with one eye as he looked around at all the other puppies. They all were so adorable, and it was making Gus feel all tingly inside - something somebody like him, this hard-a** bad boy, shouldn't feel. But, he couldn't help it - they were all cute, like Jamie (though, Jamie was of course way better than a dog could ever be). Finally, Gus heard Jamie exclaim, telling him that he found a dog, and when Gus went over to the kennel, he wasn't shocked to see that it was German Shepherd puppy. Jamie had always liked that kind of dog, even though a lot of people disliked them because they were known to attack. But, Gus didn't think they were that evil of a dog. Now pit bulls. . .those were a different story (and Gus had the scar to prove it).

badassThe dark-haired male chuckled when Jamie asked if they could keep him. "Of course," he replied as that girl came over once again. This time, she looked disinterested in them, and her tone was very dull, but Gus didn't care. Whatever, just as long as they got their dogs, it would be all good. Heading to the front desk with Jamie's hand in his, he watched as Jamie pulled out his wallet, and Gus grabbed it with his other hand. "Nope, my present," he replied, and Jamie went to protest, but he placed a finger to the male's lips to silence him. "No, you are not getting out of this. I am getting you this puppy, Jamie," Gus told him sternly, but not harshly, and Jamie sighed, and put his wallet back. Gus smiled, and pulled him in for a short kiss. "You can thank me later for this gift, okay?" the dark-haired male said with a smirk on his lips when he finally pulled back before turning to the counter. The girl had been looking at them, watching them carefully, but quickly turned away when Gus looked back at her. Whatever.

badassIt only took a few moments to fill out the papers, and when they were finished, another one of the workers had gotten the dogs ready for them. The man - who was, blonde (geez, what was with Gus and blondes?) and looked slightly, if not very attractive - brought both dogs out. They were pulling a little bit, happy to be free of those kennels, and Gus just smiled, bending down to pet both dogs as they attacked him with kisses, almost knocking him over. "Woha, there guys. Calm down," the male worker told the puppies, trying to make sure they didn't tip Gus over. He just chuckled, and stood back up. "It's okay. No damage done," he replied, giving the male a small smile, who was smiling back at him. And, what was with Gus getting hit on again today? Jamie noticed the smile, apparently, and grabbed the dogs from the worker's hands. The guy looked at him as if he just noticed he was there, and raised an eyebrow at this. Jamie politely - or as polite as he could when he wasn't happy - thanked him for getting the dogs for them, and then grabbed Gus' hand with his free hand and tugged on it, pulling Gus out the door with him.

badass"Well," Gus began with a smirk as Jamie let him and their new family members to the car, "I think I like you like this - you look hot when you're all mad and jealous," and this earned Gus another glare, just like the one he had gotten when he talked about the girl. Gus just chuckled softly, and pulled the keys from his pocket with his free hand, opening the doors to their little red sports car. He opened the door, and the dogs quickly jumped into the back seat of the car before he shut it, and went around, opening the driver's door and entering as Jamie complained about people hitting on Gus, and how he was Jamie's and only his. Gus agreed. "Yeah, but I can't help it that people find me hot, Jamie, and wanna flirt with me. Now you know how it feels when guys used to hit on you back when we first got together, not that they ever stop," he said, referring to one of the new models at the agency that hit on Jamie the moment he saw the male, and right in front of Gus. Oh was Gus mad - now Jamie knew how he felt. They were even.

badassGus started up the car, and not too much later they were home. It took longer than usually since the dogs wanted to jump into the front and into Gus' lap, but they got home with not too much problems. When they pulled up to the house, Gus left the car running, and Jamie got out, getting the dogs out as well. Jamie asked why he wasn't turning off the car and getting out as well. "I'm just gonna make a quick pit stop at the pet store and pick up some supplies. I'll be back in no time, babe," he said, and Jamie leaned in, giving him a peck on the lips. "Have fun with mommy, boys!" he told the dogs before hitting the gas, and exiting their driveway, but not without hearing Jamie curse about him being called mommy. Gus chuckled, and turned up the music as he drove to the pet store. When he arrived, he quickly parked, and exited the car. Gus knew what he needed - large breed puppy food, chew toys, treats, and two doggy beds (though, if they would be used, he wasn't too sure). After grabbing all the stuff, he quickly paid for the items and shoved them into the car. He was just about to light a cigarette - it was dangling from his lips - and get into the car when he heard someone calling his name. Turning around, Gus was greeted with a brown-haired (good, not a blonde) woman, heading toward him. Next to her, a little boy held her hand tightly. He looked to be about four years old, maybe five. Gus furrowed his eyebrows. Who the hell was this women?

badass"Can I help you?" he mumbled, lips still around the cigarette before pulling it fully out of his mouth. His eyes were still on the boy - he had dark hair, just like Gus, and his eyes, well they looked exactly like Gus' own. It was almost as if he was looking at a mini version of himself. It was kind of creeping him out, to be honest. But, finally, he tore his eyes away from the boy to look at the, who he assumed was, the mother. Dark hair, blue eyes, curvy figure - she was pretty, but who the hell was she? "You're Gus Jacobs, right?" "Who's asking?" he was weary of replying with yes - he already had gotten into a lot of trouble in the past year and a half or whatever, he didn't need anymore. Little did he know he was going to get more. "It's Athena, Athena Jackson," and that did not help Gus at all. She must have noticed his blank stare. "We went to high school. Dated for about three months before you dumped me for. . .that other person," she replied looking down at her boy before looking at Gus, and realization dawned on Gus. Athena - she had liked him back then since he was the bad boy, and she was more of the goody-goody. She had been a bet he had made with Chuck, a friend of his. Could he get into her pants? And, he had, oh had he - four times within the first month, but at that point, he kind of liked the girl, so he didn't leave her. It wasn't until he noticed another guy - Josh was his name - that he dumped her, and that was the last he ever heard of her. He never called, and she didn't call him, and he moved away not long after that. So, why was she talking to him now?

badass"Ah, Athena," he began. "How are you doing? And, when did you move out here?" "We are doing fine, aren't we Sebastian?" she looked down to the little boy, Sebastian apparently, and he nodded shyly, hiding behind her a little bit. Athena looked back to him. "Gus, there is something I need to tell you. Do you think we could go some place more private?" she said, all of the sudden hesitant. Gus furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at this as well. "Um, sure. Follow me," he told her, heading to his car, nd getting in. She got into her own, which was ironically, parked right next to his. When they were settled in the car, Gus turned on his and drove out of the parking lot and toward his home. He was curious as to what they needed to discuss, and what would Jamie say to him bringing home a girl? When they arrived, Gus pulled up to the front of the house, Athena pulling in behind him. He got out of the car, and pulled out his bags. Gus waited for her to get Sebastian out of the car - he was still weirded out by that kid - and headed to the front door. "We just got two dogs, so they might get excited to see you, just a warning," Gus told the two of them as Athena looked around at the house. "Well, you look to be well off," she said, a hint of anger in her voice, and Gus didn't say anything as he opened the door, but Jamie beat him to it. He smiled at Gus, but it dropped when he noticed Athena and Sebastian behind him. Jamie asked who they were. "Jamie, this is Athena. She's an old. . .friend, and this is her son, Sebastian," he said, indicating the little boy as her son, even though he wasn't too sure, but she didn't correct him. So, he was right, apparently. "And, Athena, Sebastian, this is Jamie," Gus said, introducing his boyfriend. Jamie said hello to them, and then moved aside to let them all in, telling Gus the puppies were asleep. "That's good. Athena said that she wanted to talk, so I figured we would come back here. Hope you don't mind, Jimmy," he said, moving into the kitchen and setting down the bags. Jamie said he didn't mind. "Awesome," and Gus leaned against the counter. "So, what is it Athena?" The lady looked at her son, then looked back at Gus. Little did Gus know that his world was about to be turned upside down.




ooc; soooo....i was thinking that Sebastian should be Gus' kid. and Athena, now that she found Gus, wants Gus to take him - at least for a while to get to know his son.
but, she just leaves sebastian with gus and jamie

Jamie was about to protest about Gus paying, but the brunette put a finger to his lips and hushed him. Jamie smiled. “Fiiiine” he said, accepting the kiss with a smile, and stashing his wallet back in his jacket pocket. Jamie didn’t really notice that the blonde girl from before was staring at Jamie and Gus, so he just walked up to the counter with his boyfriend, holding his hand tightly. Jamie smiled as their new puppies came out of the back room. Another blonde was restraining them on their leashes. But seriously, another blonde? What the ********? And this one was trying to hit on Gus as well, even if it was just a smile. Jamie growled under his breath. He took the leashes form the guy’s hand, trying not to scowl. “Yeah, thanks bye now!” exclaimed Jamie as he gave both of the pound attendants a dirty look, and walked out the door, still holding Gus’ free hand.

Jamie let the dogs go, and they both jumped into the back of the sports car, and as soon as Jamie and Gus were in the car, the blonde started complaining – it had become a habit of his. “That sucked, Gus! I hate it when people hit on you! You’re mine and only mine, nobody else can have you!” he exclaimed, and little Harper tried desperately to climb into Jamie’s lap, but he was too small to jump up in the front seats. As Gus explained that he couldn’t help it if people thought he was hot, Jamie picked up the puppy and he rested in the blonde’s lap. Jamie nodded. “That guy at the agency was funny” he said, giggling. Gus had pretty much had to hold onto something to stop himself from attacking the newbie. He had used the worst pick up line ever. He had said “I’m sorry, are you on fire? Cause you’re smoking” to which Jamie replied: “No, but if you don’t stop talking to me, someone will be up in smoke” the guy seemed to get irritated at this, and retorted “Oh, yeah? And what are you gonna do, blondie?” “Oh, me? I’m not gonna do anything, but have you met my boyfriend Gus?” and Gus took pride in growling, and glaring the kid down. Which scared the absolute crap out of him, by the way as they left.

As Gus and Jamie got into their drive way, Jamie instantly got out, putting Harper on the ground, and coaxing Tiberius out of the back seat. “Hey, babe are you coming?” he asked, going around to Gus’ side of the car, the window already down. When Gus said that he needed to get some pet stuff, Jamie nodded, smiling and leaning in the window to peck Gus on the lips. “Bye!” he said, and then frowned as Gus called him ‘mommy’ “I’m not ******** Mommy!” he called with a grin on his face, and waved to Gus as he left. “Come on” he said in a cutesie voice to the dogs, and they followed him inside. Instantly, they both went in different directions, and it took a while before Jamie actually found them. Harper was hiding under one of Jamie's jackets that Gus had thrown onto the floor of their bedroom (from the previous night’s escapade), and Tiberius was chewing on some of Gus’ sneakers. Thank God they were Gus’, ‘cause Jamie would have gone crazy if Tiberius was eating his shoes.

Jamie had followed the puppies all around the house, and eventually, they had fallen asleep on Gus and Jamie's bed. They were so cute, all snuggled into each other like that. Jaime smiled at them, before closing the door. Jamie heard a car pull up outside, and he rushed down the stairs to open the door, only to find Gus, and some other people. “Hey, babe. Who’s this?” he asked curiously, seeing a rather pretty girl and a cute little boy hiding behind her. Apparently, that was Sebastian. His mother was Athena. He smiled. “Hi” said Jamie standing by to let everyone pass. Athena gave Jamie a look over, then glared at him; while Sebastian gave him a big smile. Athena must have been mad that Jamie got Gus, and she did not. He smiled at this, keeping it on his face for politeness. “No, I don’t mind at all” said Jamie. He didn’t really, if Gus was friend s with someone, then the blonde would try his best to be nice. Jamie followed Gus into the kitchen, smiling over at Sebastian and Athena.

Athena looked hesitant. “Uhm, Jamie right?” asked Athena, looking over to the blonde, he nodded. “Can you take Sebastian into the next room? I need to speak to gus alone” “Oh, sure” said Jamie. Sebastian instantly grabbed his hand, and Jamie took the little boy into the living room, closing the door to the kitchen. Jamie sat down on the couch, and Sebastian did the same. “Hey Sebastian, I’m Jamie” he said, turning to the little boy. “H-hi” the kid seemed thoroughly nervous. Such a shy creature. “So, how old are you?” “I’m five” “So you start school next year, right?” “Yeah, South Side Primary” “Are you nervous?” “A little”

At that moment, they both heard Gus almost scream a what. Jamie frowned, looking over to Sebastian. “You like cartoons?” “Yeah” Jamie turned on the TV to a cartoon show, and he got up, smiling over at Sebastian sweetly. “Stay here, okay?” he said, and Sebastian nodded, not looking away from the TV. Jamie went into the kitchen to find Gus absolutely livid about something, and Athena looked all stuck up. “Well, you know now so I want you to spend time with him!” she exclaimed, and Jamie frowned. “Hey, what’s going on?” he asked, looking over to Gus. He seemed not only angry, but terrified. He’d lost all of the color in his face. “Are you okay?” he asked, worried already.

badassWhen Athena asked Jamie to take Sebastian in the other room, Gus began to get a little nervous about what Athena had to talk to him about. Silently, he watched Jamie take the shy little boy into the living room, and shutting the door behind them. Gus turned back to Athena, and took a seat on the island, offering her a seat as well. "You're gonna need it more than me," she told him, but took a seat across from him. She took a deep breathe, trying to calm herself, and Gus just watched her, his mind racing. "There is no really easy way to put this, Gus," Athena began, fidgeting with his hands. "You're a father," she whispered, and Gus' body froze.

badass"What?!" he hissed, standing up from the island, Athena following his actions. "You've gotta be shitting me," Gus spat, and Athena's eyes got dark, and narrow. "No, I'm not shitting you, that boy is yours, Gus. You were the only one, the only one. I never slept with anybody else." "But, we used condoms," Gus countered, but Athena countered back. "Yeah, save for that time after the movies in the back of your car when you just begged me to put out because you were so damned horny," Athena spat, and Gus just stared at her, not believing all of this. All of the sudden, Gus was a father - something he hadn't planned on being for another while. "Why didn't you tell me all of this before?" "You were gone before I found out, and after that, I had no idea where the hell you were," Athena told him, and okay, he understood that. "But, now that you know, I want you to take him.

badass"WHAT?!" he roared - this was going to far. Sure, he was the father of this kid, but couldn't he just like, give her some money? He really didn't need to deal with a kid - not now. In a few years, maybe, but not now. "What do you think, you can come here and just drop this kid here?" "That kid is your son, and you should spend time with him." "Yeah, but - you never told me till now." God, that was a weak argument against not spending time with the kid. "Well, you know now so I want you to spend time with him!" It was then when Jamie came in, asking him what was going on. Gus couldn't even turn to him, and talk to him, he was so focused on Athena. "So what, you think you can tell me that he's mine, and drop him here?" and he heard Jamie gasp next to him, figuring out what they were talking about, asking if he heard right, and Gus turned to him. But, Athena kept going on. "Just for a while! So you can at least get to know him. He is your son after all, you should at least get to know him. You've missed five years of his life already."

badassOkay, she was going to pull that card now? "Yeah, because you never told me about him! You said so yourself, I was already gone by the time you found out. So, it really isn't my fault I didn't know about the damned kid!" "His name is Sebastian, Gus. Could you at least call him that?" Athena asked, her voice hard, and her stare even harder. They both stared at each other for a moment, dead silence surrounding the three of them. During this, Jamie had grabbed Gus' hand and was holding on to it tightly before finally, he spoke, saying they would take him. Gus rounded on him. "What?" he asked in disbelief, and Jamie repeated his statement, and Athena turned to him. "Really? You will?" and Jamie nodded, and Gus couldn't even say anything because Athena was reeling off the address of her home so that they could come pick up in an hour or so. She seemed a little too excited to be getting rid of Sebastian. Athena left the room, and grabbed Sebastian before leaving with him in hand. It was then when Gus was finally able to say something. "What the hell was that all about Jamie?" was all he could ask, wondering what Jamie was thinking when he agreed to this.

Jamie gasped as he heard what Athena said. “Did I hear that right?” he asked, but he was ignored and Athena kept talking. She was making sense to Jamie. Sebastian was Gus’ kid, and he should take care of him, or at least get to know him a little bit. No kid deserved to grow up without a father. Jamie grabbed Gus’ hand, and held it tightly, at least so he would stop yelling. He did, but the two took to glaring at each other. Jamie had to fix this. And, it played right up his alley. Gus knew he wanted a kid, right? Well Gus got one, right on a silver platter. Now, they didn’t have to wait. “Athena, we’ll take Sebastian” said jamie, and immediately, Gus gave him a death stare. “We’re taking Sebastian” Jamie said slowly, then turned to smile at Athena. “Really? You will?” and Jamie nodded, He’d be absolutely delighted to take care of Sebastian. He seemed like such a cutie. Athena left her address for them to come and pick Sebastian up in about an hour, and as soon as the girl was out of the door, Gus turned on him completely.

“What was what about? He’s your kid Gus, you can’t just ignore him” said Jamie, letting go of Gus’ hand, and walking around the counter of the kitchen to look at the address. They lived on the outskirts of LA, where the places were cheaper. Gus started screaming at Jamie that Athena just wanted to get rid of Sebastian. “Gus, she’s his mother, mothers don’t abandon their kids usually” he said, and Gus started with the excuses. He wasn’t ready to be a father yet, he didn’t want a kid so soon, he wouldn’t be a good father, he would be just like his own father; Jamie cut him off there. “So your solution to not be like your father, is to abandon your kid, and have nothing to do with him?” this shut Gus up completely. “You and I should know what not to do as a parent, given our history without families, but apparently all you want to do is leave Sebastian without a father!” Jamie exclaimed, anger flaring up inside of him. “You don’t want anything to do with Sebastian, then fine, I’ll be his dad if it’s more convenient for you” sneered Jamie, and he walked out of the kitchen, heading up the steps. Gus was hot on his heels saying all of these things. But about Jamie. Jamie wouldn’t be a good father because of his dad, Jamie wasn’t capable of being a father, he had his job to worry about; Gus just went on and on and on!

Finally, Jamie had had enough. “Gus, I swear to ******** God, if you call me a bad father one more [********] time, I’m gonna kick you out of my house” he said, walking into his bedroom. Gus went on to say it wasn’t Jamie’s house it was their house since they bought it together. “Oh, you think so? Who ******** paid for it, Gus? Who pays for everything?” he asked, and Gus shut up again. Jamie threw some of Gus’ sweats, shoes, clothes and all of his toiletries from the master bedroom into a duffel bag. Jamie brought it to the bed, and Gus asked what it was, and once Jamie threw the novel Gus was reading from his side of the bed into the bag, he told him. “It’s yours” he said, sipping it up and throwing it at Gus’ chest. “You’re sleeping in the guest bedroom for the next month. Have fun” said Jamie bitterly, and went back into his closet. “I’ll pick up Sebastian in an hour, I’d like it if you aren’t here when we get back” he said, and he heard Gus leave the bedroom.

Jamie was fed up with Gus treating him like he was his property or something, like he had to do everything Gus said. Jamie had strong morals about families. If he was going to have a family, he was going to do it right, and as normally as he could. Jamie went through some paper work he had to finish for the agency (sometimes he helped out Janice with her stuff), and he got changed and went to his car (he had kept his car, unlike Gus who had sold his, buying that new red Ferrari). Jamie got lost a few times on his way to pick up Sebastian, but he did get there eventually. He parked outside, wondering why the place looked so empty. “Hello?” he called as he knocked on the door, it was unlocked, so he came in, and saw Sebastian with a cute little beanie on, sitting in the middle of the empty house. Everything was gone. The furniture, the rugs, pictures, everything. “Hi Jamie!” exclaimed Sebastian, and he came and gave Jamie’s leg a hug. “Hey, Seb. Where’s your Mom? And all of your stuff?” he wondered.

“Mommy told me to give this to you when you came” said Sebastian (he was quite articulate for a five year old). Jamie was handed a letter. The blonde dropped to his knees, and opened the letter. It was from Athena.

Dear Gus and Jamie,

Thank you for agreeing to take care of Sebastian. But, unfortunately, I have had enough of him. I put my life on hold for five years because of that mistake, and I’m fed up with putting him first. Sebastian is a great kid, but I do not want him. And I don’t want to adopt him out, because I know that Gus was out there somewhere. It took me four years to find you guys. And now, I have. It’s fantastic. I just have to do this for me. I’m moving to Paris. I would already be on the plane as you read this, and there’s no stopping me. I’ve taken care of that brat for too long, too long was my life on hold. So no, Sebastian is yours, and I do not have to take care of him anymore. Again, thank you for taking him. I know that you didn’t know you would keep him for longer than a week or so, but I suggest you do not look for me. I’m going to change my name, and start fresh in Paris. I’m using the money I saved up from the welfare I get for Sebastian. He’s yours now, I know you’ll take good care of him.

Goodbye,
Athena

Jamie’s jaw dropped. He couldn’t believe it! Athena just walked out on Sebastian! Just like that! What a ******** b***h! Who just walks out on their kid like that? God, it made him so angry! “What’s wrong, Jamie?” asked Sebastian. Jamie looked up, smiling. “Listen Sebastian . . . Did Mommy tell you what was going to happen before she left?” “She said that she wanted to move to Paris, but I wasn’t allowed to come” “Oh, you poor thing, doesn’t that make you sad, Sebby?” asked Jamie, wondering how in the world this kid was so calm. “No, Mommy’s been talking about it ever since I could ‘member” he said, and Jamie sighed. Athena really had been planning this. “Well, how about you come and live with me and your daddy?” Jamie assumed that if Athena told Sebastian about Paris, she told him about Gus. “Yeah!” he exclaimed, and he gave Jamie a big hug. Jamie noticed two suitcases full of stuff. “That all your stuff?” Sebastian nodded in Jamie’s shoulder, not letting go.

Jamie picked Sebastian up, and put him in the car first, before picking up the letter and the two suitcases, stashing them in the back of the car. “Got your seatbelt on?” “Uh huh” “Okay, let’s go” said Jamie, and he drove off, him and Sebastian talking idly. They got to the house in less than a half hour, and Jamie noticed that Gus’ car was gone from the drive way, apparently Sebastian noticed it too. “Where’s Daddy?” he asked, getting used to the term rather quickly. “Oh, I think he had to work, sweetie” said Jamie, lying. Although he supposed that is where Gus went, to his new job at a bar. “What does he do?” asked Sebastian, very curious about everything as Jamie brought all of his stuff inside and up into his room. “He makes people drinks” he said, smiling as they started putting all of Sebastian’s clothes away. “When he gets home, do you think he would make me a drink?” Jamie laughed. “I’m sure he could make you a hot chocolate” he said, and Sebastian grinned. He looked exactly like Gus.

Once they were all done unpacking, Jamie told Sebastian that they would go out tomorrow to IKEA and find some bed sheets and tables and a bookcase for him. Sebastian seemed very pleased with this. Jamie smiled down at him, and seeing as it started to get late, tucked Sebastian in, and red him one of his favourite bed time stories. He had brought about thirty books that his mother bought him, but never read to him. So he was forced to learn how to read at day care, with his teacher helping him. Jamie wasn’t even going to go there. But halfway through the story, Jamie noticed that Sebastian was already asleep. He smiled, kissing the little boy on the forehead, “Sweet dreams” he whispered to Sebastian, and he turned off his lamp, leaving the night light on (Sebastian had insisted that it be turned on the second they got home). Jamie closed the door to Sebastian’s room softly, and he slowly walked down stairs, to find Gus coming in the door, looking guilty. Before he could say anything, Jamie put a hand up to stop him. “Wait. I want you to read what Athena left us at the house” said Jamie, picking up the letter off the coffee table, and handing it to Gus. “You were right . . . you were so right. I can’t believe her” said Jamie, shaking his head.
