    Summary

    Kevin visits Jeremy & Jean in their new apartment together between Christmas and New Year. There’s that familiar tension when he’s around them, but isn’t it always there? Surely it has nothing to do with Jeremy and Jean actually wanting him.

    Summary

    Loud, heaving sobs like there is something feral inside him, beating at his chest; like wind is rattling through a hollow vessel; like someone has Henry in the palm of their hand and is squeezing, squeezing, squeezing until he cannot take the pressure.

    Everyone breaks eventually.

    “I hate this,” Henry says through his sobs. “I hate this so fucking much.”

    “I know, baby,” Alex whispers and when Henry looks up, he’s crying as well. “Me too.”

     

    ///

    Or: in the aftermath of taking their relationship public, Henry acquires a stalker.

    Summary

    “Too deep—too deep, I can’t—please.” Kevin throws his head into Jean’s shoulder.

    Jeremy quickly studies his face. “Jean, his eyes are watering. Maybe give him a break.”

    Jean drops any weight of Kevin’s he may have been holding, causing the other man to ragdoll into him. Kevin heaves, trembles, twitches as he’s stuffed full without support lifting him up.

    Tears stream down his cheeks; Jean licks one of the drops on his jaw. The salt hits like epinephrine, tastes like victory.

    “Remember,” Jean says, “one word and we end this. One word and it can be over. Do you wish to use it?”

    Kevin shakes his head.

    ———

    AKA: Kevin asks to bottom for the first time. His mistake is asking Jean, who has very different moral standards regarding Kevin.

    Summary

    Jeremy slips both hands under the legs of Kevin’s underwear. He massages the junction between Kevin’s thighs and pelvis, thumbs rubbing the base of his cock. “Mhmm. Look in the mirror and tell me you have pretty eyes.”

    “But—you didn’t say—“

    “You’re right. Jean says you have long eyelashes, and he says you have a pretty green color, and he’s obviously right but you don’t believe him. Say it like you mean it, and even if you don’t, you’re going to look me in the face and act like you do. Maybe if I force you to do that enough times, you’ll start to understand,” Jeremy explains. Kevin looks completely mortified, blushing so hard it burns against Jeremy’s temple. The back of his neck glows pink, chest rising and dropping fast with his breaths.

    They look at each other in the reflection, Jeremy giving an expectant brow raise.

    “You’re mean,” Kevin says.

    “I know.”

    Kevin sighs.

    ———

    AKA: Jeremy notices Kevin treating himself like he’s expendable in their relationship, so he forces Kevin to acknowledge his own worth. And he makes Kevin wear Jean’s jersey. Just for fun.
