[CLOSED] a dinner date of sorts.

[gavin lucas carter]

"Me and Thatcher painted her nails." Ace said, holding out her hand. She smiled, wrapping her arms around him. "I gotta go. Don't be too bad, okay?" He said, and she nodded, going back to Deacon. She waved to them again, and Ace waved back with a smile, reaching over to take Scotty's hand again. "What about a piercing?"

"Why, you want one?" Gavin asked, and Ace quickly shook his head.

"Nope. I hate needles."

"Hardy har har. You work in a hospital." Gavin mocked.

"I also deal with the mail and the meals and the paper. Not the needles. Why are we talking about piercings anyways?" He asked, reaching out for his phone. He knew he was forgetful, and was glad that Clinton and Deacon were around to pick up his things for him.

"You weren't. We were. And you butted in. Excuse you." Gavin said, putting his hand on his hip.

"Yeah, yeah. What did you get a needle through this time?"

"My belly button." Gavin said, raising his shirt. Ace wrinkled his nose, shaking his head.

"That is so nasty."

"You want one. I dare you. It hurt so bad."

"No. Where are we eating?"

"Subway." Gavin said, groaning at the weight of his bag. "See, I come with presents and you make me tote them around like a mule." Gavin started towards the door, reaching out for Clinton's hand.

"Shut up. It's probably your boxers." Ace said, rolling his eyes.

Clinton rolled his eyes as he listened to Gavin and Ace bicker back and forth. He knew that if he said something they would stop, at least Ace would. "You guys are both children." he said walking with them. He tried not to wrinkle his nose when he saw Gavin's piercing. "Your belly button?" he asked rolling his eyes. "What am I going to do with you." he said smiling grabbing his hand.

"Ace, that's enough now." he said as they walked out of the building and into the car. "Scotty I hope you don't mind Subway." he said as he got settled in the seat.

"It's fine. I haven't had it for a day or two." he said simply climbing into the car. He ate subway most of the time because it was one of his favorite things.

[gavin lucas carter]

Ace grumbled, climbing into the back seat after Scotty. "Ugh, Gavin's driving?" He complained, and Gavin smirked, pulling his keys from his pocket.

"Oh, stop complaining. You act like I don't know how to drive." Gavin said, starting the car.

"God watch over us." Ace mumbled, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out his wallet, fishing around in it for his card. "You know I got stuck in sex ed this year? Because I needed like, a half a credit. And every time I go to class, the teacher gives me like, seventy condoms. And they all smell like grapes. He's weird." Ace said, realizing he probably had a ton in his booksack.

"I like grapes. And peanut butter." Gavin said, looking back at them, Ace still looking for his card.

"I'm allergic to peanuts." Ace said, groaning when he realized he didn't have it. "Clinton, my card's on my dresser.."

[clinton rick tyler]

Scotty snickered at the thought of grape scented condoms. "Why haven't I seen any of those?" he asked rubbing his thigh. They never used condoms and never would. But it still would have been interesting to wear something that made your dick smell like grapes.

"Gavin if you're going to drive watch the road.." Clinton groaned covering part of his eyes.

He looked back at Ace and smiled at him. "That's okay, you don't need it for anything do you?"

[gavin lucas carter]

Ace blushed, moving his legs apart instinctively. "Because they're all in my- no, here's one." He handed him one out of the billfold of his wallet. "No, I guess not. Just remind me to put it back in my wallet."

"I can drive. Would you two stop?" Gavin asked, pulling into the parking lot. He parked, and killed the engine. "Stop feeling Ace up in the back of the car, Scotty." Gavin said sarcastically.

"He's not." Ace whined, climbing out of the car. He followed them inside, squeezing Scotty's hand.

"I'll go last so I can pay. And decide what I want." Ace said, looking up at the menu. He chewed on his lip, rocking back and forth on his fee. "Um..."

[clinton rick tyler]

Scotty looked at it and slipped it into his back pocket, wondering and wanting to know what Ace would do if he brought it out later.

Clinton rolled his eyes, "Is it possible for you guys not to act like kids?" he asked as he walked into subway. "At least Scotty was showing Ace some affection while you weren't.." he said pouting.

Scotty squeezed his hand and walked with him inside, kissing the top of his head.

"Ace you don't need to pay, I got it." he said smiling down at him before he ordered.

[gavin lucas carter]

"Aw, poor baby." Gavin teased, reaching over to rub Clinton's back. He was honestly shocked at how big Ace and Scotty were, nearly as tall as Gavin and Clinton now.

"Uh.. I want.. turkey and cheddar on white. Without the tomatoes." Ace said, then looked up at Scotty. He reached up, pinching his nose playfully before he kissed his cheek. "I'll be back." He said, walking to the bathroom.

"Uh.. I-" Gavin was just about to say what he wanted when a girl came tugging on his arm and he forgot. "Oh, hi." He said with a smile. "I don't have a pen on me. I'm sorry."

"That's okay. Can I have a hug?" She asked, and he hugged her gently before looking back at the menu.

"Fuck.. Uh.. What are you getting?" He asked, looking up at Clinton.

[clinton rick tyler]

Clinton rolled his eyes looking over at him. "Oh shut up." he said laughing. He smiled up at him as he leaned against his side. "I've missed your teasing." he said softly.

"I'll be waiting here for you." he said smiling at him and watching him walk down to the bathroom. He loved Ace, and their relationship was amazing thanks to Clinton. They could be together most of the time and they never had to worry about hiding their relationship. He was so grateful to Clinton for adopting Ace, he didn't even know how to express it.

"Chicken bacon ranch on 9 grain honey out. Provolone cheese. Toasted. Spinach, lettuce, cucumber and extra ranch." he rattled off simply before looking up at Gavin. "That's what I'm getting."

[gavin lucas carter]

"Ew, what?" Gavin wrinkled his nose, shaking his head. He looked at the menu again, groaning. "I guess I want a grilled chicken on wheat, american cheese. Mustard, ketchup, lettuce and tomato." He said with a shrug. He bumped Clinton to make him keep moving, watching Ace come back from the bathroom.

"What did I miss?" He asked, and Gavin shrugged.

"A bunch of aliens came and probed your boyfriend. Then they sucked out his brains and left us this." Gavin said, pointing to Scotty.

"That wasn't what he meant by 'beam me up, Scotty.'" Ace said, rolling his eyes.

"No, but it was close." Gavin nodded, paying for their food. He started handing out cups, then grabbed their sandwiches, telling Ace what he wanted to drink.

[clinton rick tyler]

Clinton hit Gavin's arm sighing. "Would you stop." he said grabbing some chips. "Act a little more like an adult, I know that is hard for you though."

He walked over to the pop machine and filled up his cup before walking to the table.

"You are so annoying.." Scotty said as he filled up his cup and grabbed Ace's hand and pulled him towards the table. "Wanna watch a Disney movie after work tonight? My Aunt wont be home." he said shyly as he took a sip of his soda before looking over at Ace and then Clinton.
