Continuing Saga of Andy and His Boys
James happily handed off the bartender to the uniforms. He wanted to get away from that bar as fast as possible. He also wanted to take as many showers as he could stand to get the brunette's scent off of him

“Why did I ever come to this country,” Andrej muttered into his pie.
“Because you love us, Zek,” Zayne said, grinning.
“And this is all just a bunch of fun. I bet you could cast us all in roles for your favorite books if you tried,” James added.
“Might be careful with that one,” Zayne said. “I helped him go through his books once. You wouldn’t want to be cast in some of them.”
“I can deal with being a leading man in one of his romances,” James said, nodding.
Zayne laughed. “Not what I’m talking about, gingerbread. How do you feel about being a troll? Or an orc?”
“Trolls and orcs are the bad guys, Zayne,” Andrej told his plate. “I would not put either of you into one of those roles unless you did something very, very wrong.”
“I can see myself as a sexy, mysterious elf lord, however,” James said thoughtfully.
Giggling, Zayne slapped his hand against the counter. “Who wants to be his centaur?”
“Zayne,” Andrej snapped, embarrassed by the reference to a very odd, slightly disturbing, gay fantasy romance he’d read. He shuddered thinking about sex with a yeti. Some things shouldn’t ever happen, not even in fiction. “You are no longer allowed in my bedroom.”
“Hold up,” James spluttered. “When was he ever in your bedroom?”
Zayne lifted a forkful of pie to his mouth, smirking. “Wouldn’t you like to know, narco?”
It was obvious to Andrej that the redhead had a short memory span.
(Zayne’s totally Ron. Cute, funny, and can’t shut his mouth to save his life. Oh, and he’s always hungry. And getting into trouble. But Ron always was my favorite anyway. The movies did him so wrong.)

"Nevermind," he said not wanting to destroy the good time they were having with petty jealousy. "But seriously, a centaur?That sounds like very bad fan fiction?"
"You read fan fiction, narco?" Zayne asked glad for the change of subject. He knew he had come close to hurting Andy again.
"It's something to do while on stakeout," James admitted. "Jake reads the sport section and I read badly written gay porn."
"Tmi, narco," Zayne groaned.
James chuckled and Andy just shook his head in despair.
(I won't do that. Some bunnies need massive amounts of sedation.)

“I guess it is good then that we do not have to do this often,” Andrej said.
“And when you do, how do you keep from getting stir-crazy,” James asked.
“I read or work on other cases,” Andrej said. He stood and gathered everyone’s plates. “Zayne sleeps on my shoulder.”
“I do not,” Zayne pouted.
Andrej dumped the dishes into the sink and turned on the water. “Yes, you do.”
“Don’t feel bad, Reyes,” James said, clapping Zayne on the back. “I’ve spent a few nights using Jake as a pillow, too.”
“Has he ever returned the favor?”
“A few times,” James confirmed. “Nature of the job. I’ve heard of weirder shit happening between partners so I can live with Jake snoozing on my shoulder.”
“Good point,” Zayne said. “You need any help in there, Zek?”
“No, I am fine, Zayne,” he called back, rinsing the plates and stacking them in the drainer. He’d put them away later. Right now, Zayne and Jay were getting along too well for him to worry about a couple plates.
(Thank the heavens. Not sure I have the stamina to write something like that.)

"Yeah," James replied.
"But it's not football season yet."
"Pre-season is about to start," Andy said as he rejoined them.
"I thought you didn't like football, Zek," Zayne remarked.
"It is true that I'm not much into sports, but if I have to choose between football and American football, I'll choose football," Andy
answered.
"A soccer fan," James remarked with a grin. "They are cuter than your typical running back."
"You had to go there," Zayne muttered. "And I get accused of thinking about sex all the time."
"It's not sex. Just an appreciation for the male figure," James retorted with a chuckle. He was having fun keeping Zayne off his feet.
Reply
“I can appreciate your male figure, Reyes, even if I can’t appreciate that damn mouth of yours.”
Standing, Zayne lifted his t-shirt enough to give the redhead an eyeful of defined abs. “Yeah, I think anyone, male or female can appreciate this.”
James’ eyes landed on Zayne’s caramel colored skin and he nodded. Swallowing hard, he grinned. “You are a walking thirst trap, that’s for sure. But sit your ass down and stop being so damn conceited.”
Zayne laughed. “Man, you are no fun to tease.”
“You say that,” James said, leaning his arms against the countertop, “but you’d crap your pants if I tried to lick that six pack of yours.”
Zayne’s mouth opened, then closed. “You know what, narco? I have nothing to say to that.”
“Which is probably for the best,” Andrej sighed. “I was afraid you were going to dare him and then I was equally afraid that Jay would accept the challenge.”
“And,” Zayne laughed.
“And I am not sure I can cope with seeing him lick anything of yours.” Andrej rubbed the back of his neck with his hand, feeling a headache brewing, among other things.
(And… back to my bingo fic.)

"Sorry, baby," Zayne apologized. "I just got carried away."
"I'm sorry as well," James said apologizing.

“You like superhero movies,” Zayne asked out of nowhere.
“Sometimes,” James said, wary. “Why?”
“The latest just hit DVD and I know Zek bought it.”
James turned and looked at Andrej. “I didn’t think you were into those kinds of movies?”
“Usually, I am not,” he said. “But Zayne and the girls love them. Whenever a new one comes out, we buy the newest movie and everyone comes over here to watch it.” He shrugged. “It is a habit, I guess.”
“A tradition,” Zayne corrected. “And before you say anything, we take turns buying the movies, although I think they’re all piled under Zek’s television. I know it was his turn to get the latest.”
“It arrived in the mail today,” Andrej confirmed. “You are welcome to come to our next viewing party, Jay. If you would like.”
“Not sure I could handle him and those nutty women all at once,” James said.
“If you want to date Zeklos,” Zayne said, smiling at the narco, “you’d better get used to it. We spend a lot of time together.”
“Great,” James groaned.

his friends and the redhead in his life.
"No," James replied looking Andy directly in the eyes so that he knew that James wasn't lying to him. "It'll take time to get use to, but it won't be a problem."

Andrej and James stared at him.
“What?”
“Nothing, Reyes,” James laughed.
“So, you coming on Friday then? That’s our next movie night.”
James made a face. “I was hoping we could go out on Friday.”
“I am sorry, Jay,” Andrej said. “We make these plans in advance. But I am available Saturday and Sunday.”
“Okay,” James said, smiling again. “Friday, is movie night and then Saturday is our night?”
Andrej nodded.
“Gah,” Zayne grunted. “Feelings alert.”

Zayne shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.
Andy sighed and shook his head.

“That is not necessary,” Andrej said. “The girls will be fine with another person.”
“Maybe you can bring your partner,” Zayne suggested. “He and Rollins can annoy each other.”
“Not sure we need any more annoyance, gingerbread,” Zayne said, resting a hand on James’ shoulder. “You and I are aggravating Zek enough already.”
“Good point,” James said, poking Zayne in the shoulder. “Let’s not rock the boat.”
“Amen,” Andrej grumbled.
Reply
"I haven't checked," Andy answered.
"You guys have a favorite show or something?" James asked.
Reply
“He has a few,” Andrej corrected.
James grinned. “Okay, so now you have me curious. What has Zayne conned you into watching that you’re now secretly hooked on?”
Andrej looked at Zayne and sighed. “You do not want to know.”
“Oh hell yes I do,” he said. “One of you had better tell me now.”
(Hope you survived work! And I can’t think of anything that would be so embarrassing that Andy wouldn’t admit to watching.)
Reply
"Of course," James agreed.
"Monday Night Football."
"Uh huh."
"Just admit it, Zek," Zayne said. "You got a thing for the WWE."
"I do not," Andy muttered.
(I survived yesterday and I'm halfway thru today, so all is good. I figured no self-respecting gay man would admit to watching wrestling.)
Reply
“Yeah, he does,” Zayne said, patting Andrej on the arm. “He’s just embarrassed by it is all. But it’s all good, man. I’m from Texas so I’ll admit to loving the dumb shit.”
James snorted. “I swear, I am learning more and more every day about you two.”
“That’s not always a good thing,” Andrej muttered.
“Aw, it’s okay, baby,” Zayne said, draping an arm over Zeklos’ shoulder. “We won’t tell anyone. I mean, hell, how long have I kept this secret anyway?”
“Not trying to start a fight, cowboy, but you kinda just outed him.”
“Hmm,” Zayne said, nodding. “Guess I did. So, to make up for that I’ll tell you I’m a closeted History Channel addict.”
“Hah,” James laughed. “I never would have guessed. Maybe Animal Planet, but never this.”
“What,” Zayne asked. “I like the car shows.”
“He likes American Pickers,” Andrej corrected. “And all the car shows.”
“Whatever,” Zayne grunted.
James laughed again. “Oh lord.”
“Can we please go watch the Winchesters attending to the family business? It will be much less painful than continuing this conversation.”
(I’m halfway through the next chapter as well. Not sure if I’ll get it done today or not - my kids run me ragged on Sundays.)
Reply
"Yeah," Zayne muttered as he settld into what he considered his chair. "I think we've learned enough about one another today."
"Indeed," Andy agreed as he settled onto the couch keeping one cushion between him and James.
"Then let her rip, Zek," Zayne said.
Andy softly sighed. He grabbed the remote off the coffee table and started their afternoon entertainment.
(Survived another day. Wrestling has some better looking guys these days...lol)
