Don't Need It...

"Okay... I like it here... its nice." He nodded.

"Yeah...it is nice...And I hope one day its your home too Joslin. My door is always open to you..." He nodded, kissing the other boys nose.

"Youre too fuckign sweet. I'm being too sweet too. Ugh." He put a pillow over his face.

"I love how sweet you are being Joslin....its so adorable...I just want to love you.." He hugged the boy close, kissing his cheek.

"Stoppp." He whined lightly, playfully smacking his arm.

"No!!! I must have my Joslin love." He cooed softly, placing sloppy wet kisses all over the smaller man.

"Ughhhh. Don't make me go home." He whiend at him.

"You cant, Avery isnt done playing with Bruno. See." He looked over, laughing at the sleeping children piled atop each other.

Joslin smiled at the two boys together. He sat up and then stood, pacing around the room adn cracking his neck.
"Do you think you could watch Avery if I go out for a while?"

"Oh sure, I guess I could do that." His smile was smaller, he hated knowing what Joslin was probably going to do. He sighed and stood, his hair sticking up wildly as he made his way to the bathroom, brushing his teeth.

"Thank you so much." He followed him in and kissed his cheek. "I usually leave him with a sitter but he loves you and Bruno."

"Yeah, Bruno loves him too so its fine, I don't mind." He muttered, tooth paste foam all around his mouth.

"Okay thank you again." He brushed his hair quickly and made sure he looked decent before pecking Averys cheek and walking out

Chord sighed, rinsing his mouth and sitting back on the bed, resting his head in his hands.
Why did Joslin have to do this...
It was hurting him but he was trying to shake it off.

Yes, Joslin was doing exactly what Chord thought. He went home and got dressed and then headed out to the bar. He began flirting with a very muscular large man. He usually liked his men nice and big, ones he could climb all over on.
Within twenty minutes they were heading back to Joslin's place.

Kelton and Aristotle had made their way over, and by the time Chord had woken the children up, they were getting ready to take them swimming out back in Chord's pool.

A few hours later Joslin returned with a black and blue, swollen eye, muttering under his breath about something. He saw them all out back and walked out.
"Hey.." He smiled and pecked Chord's cheek and sat down.

Chord's eyes were wide as he stared at the other boy. He quickly stood up, lifting Joslin in his arms and carrying him inside, not saying a word to Aristotle or Kelton, knowing they would watch the kids and leave him be for the moment.

"Where are we going? I wanted to swim." Joslin pouted cutely up at him.

Chord took him into his room, sat him down and took his face gently, examining it critically.
"Who did this to you Joslin..."
His face was unreadable, he was almost emotionless.
He was pissed the fuck off.

"Some guy I just fucked." He gently pulled back, shaking his head "He got pissed off at me for something."

Chord pulled him back, caressing his cheek gently.
"I want a name, at least give me that Beautiful..."

"Why do you want to know...?" He frowned lightly. "I think his name was Luke something... I dont' know..." That was why he'd been hit... he hadn't called that name when he came... he'd said... Chord...

He nodded, kissed Joslin's forehead.
"Alright, go swim babe." He nodded, standing Joslin up and pecked the bruise gently.
"Kelton is nice, Aristotle is an idiot. Have at it."

"Come with me..." He frowned, reaching out for his hand.
