Pearl watched her son pace, restless as a big cat behind bars. He would walk along the garden, look towards the jogging path, and pace again. It warmed her that Charlie had finally fallen in love. Daniel was fragile but her boy had a gentle touch, he always had. And, she thought with a smile, he had a hearty sense of humor.
She and Ruth had cornered him against the sink of soapy dishes, each demanding to know what had upset Daniel. Her boy had flushed, only admitting that it was personal. He had gotten closed lipped after that, taking the tongue lashing with his head down. Yes, her son was perfect, but any mother would say that. Her son was perfect for a fragile man like Daniel, with his gentleness, his sense of humor, and his code of ethics that included a staunch sense of privacy. Which was amazing coming from a mother like herself, Pearl wouldn't take no for answer lightly.
"Our boy has finally given up his heart," Ruth said gently, sitting down with a moan of appreciation. "I always thought it would be Thomas, but Daniel is worthy of Charles' love." She stretched her legs out in front of her and wiggled her feet.
"You do too much," Pearl groused. "When are you going to let me get you some help for this place?"
"You hush your mouth," Ruth replied. "My momma took care of this house, and my granny before her. It's my turn now."
Pearl just huffed and rolled her eyes. The argument was an old one and wouldn't change a thing. She and Ruth grew up in each other's pockets, just as Charlie and Tommy had. Pearl's family name had helped protect an unlikely friendship from the harsh realities in town and beyond. It was Ruth's mom, Edna, who had given her the skills to open a cafe' after the untimely death of her beloved husband. She and Ruth had grew up under Edna's feet, learning to cook and learning about life. No wonder her own son had the open mind that could be considered an abnormality of their surroundings. Pearl had learned it at a young age and passed it onto him.
She watched Charlie stop mid stride, lifting his head like a predator scenting prey. Daniel emerged from the darkened path. It made Pearl's heart squeeze. Both Tommy and Daniel had tear-streaked faces. She watched her son shoot his best friend an accusing look before focusing on Daniel.
Pearl gasped and Ruth squeezed her hand. She knew that look. It was the look of her deceased husband on her son's features. The gentle gray eyes were stormy with passion. Charlie crossed the garden, Daniel his goal.
He stopped before the dark haired man, cupping his face between his palms. He pressed their foreheads together saying words too low to be heard. As she watched, Daniel nodded in response. Then her son was covering Daniel's mouth with a possessive kiss. The dark haired man melted against Charlie’s chest. His hands went to Daniel’s slim hips and pulled him closer, laying his face against the soft dark hair.
“They are gonna be okay,” Tommy said, touching her shoulder and breaking into her thoughts. “Charlie is strong enough to handle the damage in Daniel’s life. Daniel is strong enough to let Charlie be himself.”
She turned to the other young man, her Tommy, the son of heart. She could see the peace in the green eyes and the underlying yearning. “Oh, Tommy, I didn’t think that you…”
Tommy gave a careless shrug, “I don’t Momma Pearl, but Charlie’s always been my rock, you know? I’ve never really had to share him with anyone. He’s always put up with sh…stuff.” It made her laugh at the quick amendment. “We both knew growing up that we weren’t meant to be anymore than friends. I’m glad that he’s not alone. I never wanted him to be alone.”
She cupped the man’s face, who had once been a boy who tugged at her, just as he tugged at her now. “I love you, Tommy. You are a good boy.”
He leaned into her touch, “Always for you, Momma Pearl.” He yelped at the audible smack to his ass. He turned and dropped to one knee giving Ruth pleading eyes, “And for you, Momma Ruth, love of my life.”
She cuffed his ear and laughed, “Get on with you, Mister Thomas.”
Pearl hugged Tommy close and winked, “Now that Charlie has the love of his life, we need to work on you, my boy.”
Tommy shuddered as Ruth gave a loud belly laugh.

“Talk to me,” Charlie said urgently. His hands kept moving over Daniel, from his face to his shoulders, to his back, to his hips, never stopping. “You are upset. What did Tommy say to you? I’m not above pounding him into the ground. I’ve done it before and I can do it again.”
Daniel’s golden eyes were still watery but the full lips curved upward, “When did you ever fight Tommy?”
Charlie cuddled his lover in his arms. He couldn’t help it. The right to touch Daniel was just too new and too intoxicating. “Let’s see. I had to fight him over the right of way on the matchbox car race track.” He kept his voice dead pan.
The elbow to his gut was what he was going for. Daniel’s smile widened, “You are silly.”
Charlie nuzzled his cheek, “But I’m your silly.” The feelings were too new as well. He could hear the hope in his voice.
“Yes,” Daniel replied hoarsely. He looked up and Charlie could read the hope in the beautiful eyes. He was drawn to Daniel like a moth to a flame. He nipped the full bottom lip before kissing him gently.
“God, darlin,” Charlie breathed. He pressed their groins together. Daniel’s hiss answered the need he felt inside. “Come on.”
Daniel pulled back. “What?”
Charlie just led him towards the barn, “Too many people in the house.”
Daniel dug in his heels, bringing Charlie to halt. “Where are we going?”
He pulled Daniel back into his arms and whispered against his ear, “I need you, baby. I need you so bad it hurts.”
Daniel flushed but tried to squirm out of his arms. “But that’s disrespectful to your mother and to Tommy. They came out here to see you. Not have you slipping away for sex.” The blush turned crimson red.
Charlie tipped Daniel’s face to his by his chin. “Baby, you know what type of relationship Tommy and I had?” Daniel bit his lip and nodded. “My mother is pretty with it. She knows what I want. If we hurry, we can be cleaned up and presentable by supper time.”
His hands went to Daniel’s ass and ground against him. “Please.”
Daniel looked down. “And if I said no?”
Charlie kept from pulling away like he had been burned. Daniel still needed the assurance that he wasn’t going to be brutalized and disregarded. So he moved away and kissed Daniel’s cheek softly. “Then the answer is no.” He took the man’s hand into his own and put it over his heart. “We can still go to the barn. I’ll just check on Alexander.”
Daniel’s eyes narrowed. “This isn’t a ploy to have your way with me?”
Charlie shook his head, “Nope. This is a ploy to keep you by my side. I don’t want you too far away. Just letting you go on that walk and then Tommy following you about did me in. I need you close, darlin’. I need to be able to reach out and touch you. I need you to be close enough that I can breathe you in and know that you are okay.” He hunched his shoulders, “I just need you, Daniel.”
Daniel shuddered visibly and then pressed himself against Charlie. Charlie’s arms went around him and pulled him closer. He could feel the heat of Daniel’s groin against his own. He coughed to keep from whimpering.
“Baby?” Daniel’s arms tightened. “What’s wrong?”
“You understand, you aren’t going to push me.” Daniel’s words were choked.
Charlie nuzzled his hair. “No means no, baby.” He did whimper when Daniel’s thigh nudged against his balls. “I don’t mean to be a pain in the ass, but you are killing me, darlin’.” He bucked his hips.
“I want to,” Daniel said quietly. “I just don’t think its right.”
Charlie thought about it. Taking Daniel’s hand once again, he led him into the dark recesses of the barn. In the shadows, he pushed Daniel against the wall and kissed him deeply. “It’s not just fucking,” He ground out as he slipped down Daniel’s body to kneel before him. “May I?”
It was hard to see in the shadows, but he could make out Daniel licking his lips. The dark haired man whispered, “Please.”
Charlie kept his movements slow and deliberate. The last thing he wanted to do was spook Daniel when he felt so uncertain. He freed the hard, leaking cock and pushed the denim down his thighs. He couldn’t help it; he leaned in and took in the scent of his lover.
It wasn’t time to play, not with the nerves or the need. He sucked Daniel’s cock into his mouth, tasting him, feeling him, hearing him hiss in pleasure. He used every thing that he liked personally. When Daniel’s hands went into his hair, he grunted his approval, when Daniel began to thrust into his mouth, he moaned. When Daniel came, he swallowed and suckled happily until Daniel pushed at him to get him to stop.
Looking up at his sated lover, he had to ask impishly, “Better?”
Daniel tugged his hair and replied, “Silly. Come here.”
It felt good to be on the receiving end of his shy lover’s command. Daniel pulled him in and kissed him. His hand went to Charlie’s groin, “Let me please you.”
Charlie cupped Daniel’s face. “Everything about you pleases me, Daniel. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”
Daniel just nodded as he maneuvered him until Charlie’s back was against the wall. Instead of pulling up his pants and kneeling, Daniel positioned himself between Charlie’s thighs. He wrapped Charlie in his arms, until Charlie’s cock was nestled between his hip and thigh. Charlie moaned at the feel of Daniel’s skin and began thrusting. Daniel held him and kissed his neck until he couldn’t hold back any longer. His cum dripped between them.
“Better?” Daniel asked against his neck.
Charlie hugged him and laughed. “Much better, now I can sit down at the same table with my mother without sporting a hard on like I was a teenager again.”
He liked having the weight of Daniel against his chest. His lover replied, “I didn’t think about that. That could be very embarrassing.”
“Yeah,” Charlie pulled away and cleaned them up as best as he could. “Now, I get to show you something else.”
Daniel peered at him, “What?”
“How I used to sneak in the house, come on.” Daniel’s laughter made his heart soar and they ran towards his childhood home.
