[CLOSED] a dinner date of sorts.

[gavin lucas carter]

"I can always just go back and get my laundry and get back on the bus." Gavin said with an indifferent shrug. He sat down at the table, sitting the sandwiches in heir places. He took his drink from Ace without a word, Ace equally as quiet.

"Uhm.. I guess. I have to work until like, eleven though. They've got me cleaning the closets tonight and restocking them." Ace said, opening his bag of chips. He popped one into his mouth, unwrapping his sandwich carefully. He picked it up, and took a bite out of it. He winced, a pain in his tooth from his wisdom tooth coming in.

"Tear your sandwich apart." Gavin told him, taking a bite out of his. Ace put another chip in his mouth, picking a piece of lettuce out of his sandwich.

Clinton frowned. "You know I don't want you to leave." he said softly resting his hand on Gavin's leg. "It's just hard for me to be Ace's parent when you're always messing with him." he said softly before turning from him and reaching down to take a bite from his sandwich.

Scotty nodded chewing his food, "I'm fine with that if Clinton is." he said simply. He wanted to spend time with Ace, it didn't matter to him what time it was at, as long as they were together.

"It's fine with me." Clinton said after swallowing his food. "You can spend the night if you promise to behave." he said looking directly at Ace. "You understand?"

[gavin lucas carter]

Gavin wanted to say something, but didn't. He just took a big bite out of his sandwich, reaching over to unwrap his straw and stick it in his cup. His phone went off and he pulled it from his pocket, reading over the text from his manager. He checked the time, realizing he had a little longer than he thought. But he also had to go get his laundry, so he figured he may as well head back then. He tucked his phone into his pocket, taking another bite of his sandwich.

"I'm always good when I'm at Scott's Auntie's house." Ace said, pulling a piece off of his sandwich. He reached over for his drink when he realized it hurt too bad to actually chew it.

[clinton rick tyler]

Clinton nodded as he finished off his sandwich. "I know you are." he said smiling at him, he frowned though when he saw how much pain he was in. "Would some water help you Ace?" he asked quietly, concerned for him.

Scotty reached into his bag and pulled out the small bottle of water he always carried with him and set it down between him and Ace on the bench.

Clinton looked over at Gavin, sensing something was wrong. He touched his thigh and looked at him. "Gavin? You okay?"

[gavin lucas carter]

Ace shook his head, taking a sip of his drink. "No, cause it's a tooth. It's not actually an injury. So it won't do anything. I've tried." He knew he could do a terrible job of taking it out himself and water would fix that, but he wasn't so sure he had a steady enough hand. He figured when it broke through, he could always pull it himself.

"I'm fine. Just doing some numbers in my head." Gavin said, taking a sip of his drink. He took another bite of his sandwich, pulling his phone out again to check his calender. He still had another three weeks until they got a hotel, and another five until they got to come home. He clicked on one of the dates, reading over the set list.

[clinton rick tyler]

Scotty nodded putting the bottle of water back in his bag before looking at his phone. "We should get you back to work Ace." he said smiling over at him. "Maybe if you work extra hard you can get off early." he said leaning over to kiss his neck.

Clinton nodded, not really believing him. "Okay." he said softly. He nodded in agreement then with Scotty. "Ace, I'll run to the store later so we have some softer food at home for you." he said before standing up and throwing away his trash.

[gavin lucas carter]

Ace blushed at the feeling of Scotty's lips on his neck. He leaned over, kissing him softly before he got up, tossing his trash away. Gavin got up slowly, reading over his phone. He tossed his trash away, then walked back to get his drink before he pulled out his keys, heading to the car.

"So, where's everyone going? I gotta get my laundry and return my car by like, three. So I gotta leave at two thirty or something." Gavin said, sliding into the driver's seat. He started the car, watching Ace climb into the back seat.

"I gotta get back to work." Ace said, picking up his wallet from the seat to put it back in his pocket.

[clinton rick tyler]

Clinton frowned when he realized what time it was and how little time he had with Gavin. He climbed into the car and relaxed back in the seat, closing his eyes.

"I'm just going back to the hospital with Ace. My car is there." he said getting comfy in his seat before looking over at Ace.

"I walked to the hospital." Clinton said softly looking over at Gavin. "Do you want to come over? You can just do the laundry at our house."

[gavin lucas carter]

Ace smiled over at Scotty, leaning over to kiss him slowly, his hand tracing slowly over his chest. His black hair fell in his face, as he pulled away, and he pushed it out, realizing he needed a hair cut soon. "Your auntie's gonna be okay with me staying over?" He asked.

Gavin shook his head. "Nah, they got some laundry place doing our clothes for us. Cause most of my show clothes need special attention." He reached into the back seat, grabbing his bag. "You all got keychains from each stop. And then I got you guys special presents in Vegas." He handed Ace a box of keychains, then Scotty, and finally Clinton. He handed Ace a small jewelry box with a cross necklace in it, his name engraved on the back. Scotty got a bracelet with a rosary bracelet in it, only the squares had card suits. And Clinton got a little locket with an ace on it.

[clinton rick tyler]

Scotty kissed him back, his hand slowly rubbing his side, wanting to bad to slip his hand underneath Ace's shirt. To feel his smooth warm skin. He tried not to frown when Ace pulled away, chuckling slightly when he had to push his hair aside. "She's fine with it babe. She loves you." he said smiling again at him before pecking his lips.

"Wow, thanks!" Scotty said examining the bracelet before looking over at Aces.

"Gavin.." Clinton breathed looking at the necklace. "It's beautiful." he said looking over at him and blushing. "I love you." he said softly leaning across the car to kiss him gently. "We gonna have some fun alone time?" he asked softly, rubbing Gavin's thigh.
