June 12, 2044 8 AM Master Bedroom Kinney-Taylor House “Sunshine, as much as I like lying here in your arms, we have to get up. We’ve a lot we have to accomplish before we take Taylor to the school for his graduation ceremony. Can you imagine, our grandson is graduating from High School? I only wish that Gus could be with us.” “We all wish that Gus was still with us but that isn’t how it worked out. He would’ve been so proud of Taylor, graduating #5 in his class, asked to walk-on at Penn State after being All State in Pennsylvania even if it's for basketball instead of football.” “I’m just glad that you’d left the coffee shop before that bastard started shooting the place up. It was hard enough losing Gus but I wouldn’t have survived if I'd lost you too.” “Brian you would've survived because you would’ve had to take care of Taylor.” “While that's probably true I would’ve been miserable without you Sunshine. What would’ve I done when Taylor told me that he was going to the Homecoming Dance with Jonathan?” “You would’ve been happy for him just like you were in real life. The only difference would’ve been that you would‘ve had to straighten up his tie instead of me before he left for the dance.” “I know it was wrong but I was secretly happy that Taylor was gay.” “You weren’t happy that he was gay, or that you thought he was gay, but that he was happy. It was kind of fun watching you though and watching Taylor since he was more impressed with the fact that a senior had asked him, a sophomore, than that it was another boy asking him to a dance. You on the other hand were just thrilled that Gus’ Sonnyboy was following in his Granddaddy’s footsteps.” “In a way you’re right but I always wanted Gus, and Taylor, to be happy and to be in love with someone as much as I love you, without all of the pain I had to go through in order to admit that I love you. It was kind of fun seeing how much of the Kinney charm has passed to Taylor. It kind of surprised me that he didn‘t sleep with Jonathan though considering how obviously Jonathan lusted after Taylor.” “Taylor wasn’t ready for anything more than kissing and hand jobs. Jonathan certainly wasn’t brave enough to force anything on Brian Kinney’s grandson.” “What does that mean?“ “What do you think it means? As much as Jonathan wanted to be fucked by our grandson he wasn’t about to brave the displeasure of the infamous Brian Kinney by pushing Taylor into anything. Of course we both know that it would’ve been me that skinned him alive if he'd done anything that Taylor didn’t agree to do. Not that Taylor would've needed our help if Jonathan had tried anything more than Taylor was willing to go along with.” “Jonathan was a nice boy, why did they split up?” “Jonathan graduated and Taylor had two more years of High School, gay or straight very few teen romances survive when that happens.” “That’s right and of course Jonathan going to college in Philadelphia didn’t help matters either.” “When Taylor brought Samantha to the Fourth of July party that summer after he and Jonathan split up I thought you would just collapse like a punctured balloon.” “I’m not proud of it Sunshine but for a second I was disappointed that he wasn’t gay. But I knew that he has to be the person that he is.” “Well he turned out to be bisexual which I guess is his way of compromising with both sides. Except that I know that it isn‘t a conscious choice for Taylor anymore than our being gay was a choice for us or being straight was a choice for Gus.” “I haven’t figured out if he tells us about his sex life to brag or to bother us.” “I’m sure it's a combination of both since he knows how much it bothers you to deal with his sexuality and he’s 18 years old and 18 year olds like bragging about their sex lives. You should've seen your face when he asked you if your preferred topping or bottoming.” “I thought that I was going to drop dead when he asked me that. I don’t remember did I give him an answer? “No you just hem hawed until he got tired of waiting and told us about his first time. Of course you should have seen your face as he told us about his supposed activities of the previous night.” “Does that mean you didn’t believe him when he claimed to top his boyfriend 5 times the night he lost his virginity?” “Of course I didn’t believe him, I’m sure he topped Aaron 2 or 3 times that night and probably bottomed a time or two as well but the 10 times he claimed was simply his attempt to live up the Brian Kinney legend.” “That legend is so out of date it’s silly that anyone would want to live up to it. How did I look while he was telling us about his flip flopping with Aaron?” “Of course he wants to live up to any legend about you whether it be about your sexual shenanigans or your business acumen. There was a mixture of horror and pride. Part of you was thrilled that Taylor was topping and then the horror that he was telling you about his sex life kicked in, it was comical in its way.” “I’m reasonably sure that my sexual legend is safe though, Taylor is more like Gus than me, he’s spread most of the wild oats he's going to spread and I was sowing like a madman past 30 and if I hadn’t been captured by a certain twink I would probably be acting like a fool today. Can you imagine how pathetic I would look trolling the back rooms at my age?” “I was very happy to capture your heart and settle you down. You could never look pathetic but I imagine that even if I hadn‘t captured your heart you would've given up your back room trolling long ago.” “Justin we have to get out of this bed and get ready but if we didn’t I would show you settled down.” “Mr. Kinney-Taylor I’ll hold you to that comment tonight when we next find ourselves in this bed.” “Mr. Kinney-Taylor you say the sweetest things to me but if you don’t remove your hands from where they're fondling my body we won’t be able to get out of this bed.” “Spoilsport. You take a shower while I get our clothes ready for today‘s activities.” “Why don’t we just take a shower together like we always do?” “Because of what almost always happens when we shower together. We simply don’t have time for our usual activities Brian though don’t worry we’ll make up for lost opportunities tonight after Taylor's a High School graduate.” “I guess I can live with that promise.” “Brian Shawn Kinney-Taylor you'll never change and that fact makes me unbearably happy.” “I love you too Sunshine.” *** “Sunshine do you think Gus’ Sonnyboy is a bit nervous about his big day?” “Why do you ask Brian?” “Haven’t you noticed anything out of the ordinary this morning?” “You mean our Grandson, who got a higher SAT score than either of us, is dressed like he did the first time he got dressed on his own when he was three?” “I have to admit that his ensemble is not quite up to his usual style of dress.” “You noticed that he's wearing his bedroom slippers, gym shorts, a dress shirt buttoned unevenly and a string tie. I kind of like the Kinney bed hair look though.” “Yes Sunshine I noticed, the question is how we get him dressed properly without hurting his feelings.” “My guess is that he doesn’t have a clue and won’t notice when we strip him and redress him.” “You wouldn’t; he’s 18 years old and it would embarrass the hell out of him to have his grandfathers dress him.” “Of course I wouldn’t, we’ll just send him to his room after breakfast and tell him to get dressed.” “Let’s go see what he’s made for breakfast.” “Granddaddy, Papa your pancakes are getting cold. I made special ones in honor of today.” “Gus’ Sonnyboy these shamrock shaped pancakes are delicious. How about your heart shaped ones Sunshine?” “They're fine Brian, try to behave.” “Is there something the matter Granddaddy?” “No Taylor there’s nothing wrong, now that we’ve eaten breakfast why don’t you go to your room and get dressed for your big day. Your Papa thinks that your blue suit with your white dress shirt and the blue silk tie would be the best choice for your graduation and the reception at your grandmothers’ house. “OK Granddaddy. Papa would you come and help me I seem to be all thumbs today.” “Sure Taylor but I think it would be best if you keep your suit coat and shirt in a garment bag until after we have lunch with your grandmothers. You can change in the bathroom at the restaurant before we head to the school.” “Sounds like a plan to me Papa but won’t I look foolish eating at a fancy restaurant without a shirt?” “Gus’ Sonnyboy don’t try pulling your Papa’s chain. What're your plans for after the reception?” “I don’t know Granddaddy, a couple of the guys talked about having an orgy, can we use the backyard?” “Brian, close your mouth before you catch a fly. Taylor that was very well done. I once embarrassed your father to no end with this advice but I’m going to give it you anyway. Don’t do anything stupid tonight, you aren’t ready to be a father in nine months.” “Papa!! You don’t have to worry about that and if I have sex tonight it'll probably be of the Kinney-Taylor variety anyway.” “I didn’t know you are ready to settle down with the love of your life for the rest of your life Taylor.” “Papa you can’t pull my chain, I meant hot and earthy gay sex.” “I know Taylor but I had to try. Brian you can start breathing again.” “Papa it’s still amazing how much of a prude Granddaddy can be considering the sex life you two still have at your ages.” “Taylor do you want your Granddaddy to have a stroke?” “Justin!” “He’s back with us Taylor. I guess we better get moving and get you dressed so that we aren’t late meeting up with your grandmothers.” *** “Taylor you look amazingly handsome today. Your parents would be so proud of you.” “Thank you Grandma Mel. I wish that they could be here today, I still miss them so much.” “You know that they're always with you Taylor, if only in your heart.” “I know Grandma Lindsay but I still wish that they were here with us. Of course I’ve been grateful that the four of you were here for me after, well you know. I’ve always wondered how Dad would've handled my bringing Jonathon home and introducing him as my date for Homecoming. Granddaddy almost exploded with joy when I brought a boy home as my date. Then he almost turned inside out when I brought Samantha to the Fourth of July picnic after Jonathan and I broke up.” “Taylor Kinney Peterson-Marcus, I did no such things. I was just happy that you were happy. Why are the four of you looking at me like that? You can all stuff those shit eating grins where the sun doesn’t shine. OK OK I was thrilled at the idea that my grandson was following in my footsteps and yes it was surprising when he brought a girl to the picnic after dating a boy for 8 months. All I want is for you to be happy Taylor whether it's with a boy or a girl or a llama for that matter.” “A llama? Brian do you have any idea what you just said.” “Of course I know what I said Sunshine I just panicked with that llama comment. I’m sure Taylor would be much more happy with a two humped camel.” “I think Granddaddy that I would probably be happier with a one humped camel.” “God it's getting deep in here.” “Leave it to you Mel to bring us back to reality.” “I love you too Brian. God I never thought that I would say that let alone mean it.” “I know Mel, me too. You have to admit that this adorable twink has made our lives so much better than they would've been if I hadn’t never fallen under his sway.” “I would agree with that Brian 100 percent.” “Justin aren’t you a little old to be blushing like a new bride?” “Well Linds I might be too old for blushing like a bride but I still get to go home with the best groom in the country every day.” “Wow Granddaddy I didn’t know that you could blush as red as Papa.” “Can’t we just order lunch and quit trying to embarrass each other?” *** “Hi guys, Brian I must say you are looking exceptionally well for a man of your age. I can remember when you thought turning 30 was a death sentence and here you are over 70 and looking as tasty as you did back then. What’s your secret?” “Well Emmett I’ve gotten at least one dose, if not more, almost every day, of Taylor’s Famous Youth Serum. It's a miraculous product and I would recommend it to you except that I’ve got the world wide rights to the product and I have no intention of sharing it with anyone.” “Justin why're you turning red, Brian's the one bragging. Oh my God you two aren’t still having sex every day?” “Does that surprise you Mel?” “While I know it shouldn’t, it does.” “Well Mel while we aren’t as active as we used to be, in our misspent youth, we still get hard for each other. In fact Sunshine has promised me a stellar night of passion since we had to forgo this morning’s wake up sex in order to get Taylor ready for his big day.” “I’m sorry ladies for bringing up the subject in the first place.” “There's no reason to be sorry about a natural event. If the two of them ever stop having sex then that will be of epic proportions and the world will probably stop spinning on its axis.” “That sounds good to me Lindsay. Justin the world depends on our sex life continuing for the foreseeable future.” “I wouldn’t have it any other way Brian but the ceremony is about to start.” *** Backyard of the Peterson-Marcus home “I want to thank everyone for coming to my graduation and this reception. I wish Mom and Dad could’ve been here but that wasn’t destined to be. Enjoy the cake and ice cream and listen to Granddaddy’s stories with a grain of salt.” “Taylor Kinney Peterson-Marcus you may be a High School graduate but I can still put you across my knees.” “Papa you better take Granddaddy home and give him some loving, he doesn’t usually take the first lure thrown in his direction.” “You have to admit Brian he got you very easily.” “I’m feeling my age since I didn’t get my dose of Taylor’s Famous Youth Serum this morning.” “Brian I’ll take care of that tonight at home like I promised but you have to behave until then.” “I always behave.” “Why're all of you looking at me like that?” “Do you really want an answer Granddaddy?” “What's that supposed to mean Gus’ Sonnyboy?” “Like you don’t know.” “I had to try Taylor, I had to try. You do know how proud we are of you don’t you Taylor?” “Yes Granddaddy I know. I’m kind of glad I didn’t finish any better in the class rankings.” “Why do you say that Taylor?” “Well Grandma Jenn only the top four had to give a speech and since I finished #5 I didn’t have to speak in front of everyone.” “Since when are you worried about speaking in front of a crowd?” “I don’t mind speaking in front of a crowd but if I had then I would've lost two more family members.” “What the hell are you trying to say Taylor?” “Well if I’d given a speech then Granddaddy and Papa would’ve swollen up so much with pride that they would've blown away in the wind like a couple of helium balloons.” “Justin I think someone is angling for a spanking even if he is 6 foot 8. I’ll let you chase him and I’ll cut him off at the pass.” “Now Brian we can’t punish the boy for speaking the truth.” “I suppose if you put it that way I have to agree. Why didn‘t you finish in the top 4 you got A‘s in every class you ever took as far as I remember?” I got a couple of B pluses in my freshman year the first nine weeks and that was the separating factor when the school figured out the class rankings.” “That would have been, well we all know, how can they punish your for that?” “They didn’t punish me Granddaddy that's just how the system works. Life isn’t fair so we have to live with it besides finishing 5th instead of 1st made no difference in the colleges I was accepted at. I suppose I should mingle with our guests. If I don’t see you guys before I meet up with gang you do know how much I love you.” “Yes Taylor we know how much you love us but be careful tonight. Don’t do anything you’ll regret in the morning.” “Well Papa you don’t have to worry, I can’t get anyone pregnant since I’ve had the shot. I can’t get any STDs since I’ve updated all of my vaccinations and since we aren’t planning on driving anywhere we’re probably safe from car accidents.” “Well be careful anyway shots have been known to fail.” “Don’t worry so much Papa; I love Granddaddy too much to make him a great grandfather before he is ready to admit to being 50. Plus I don't think Henry or Pablo can get pregnant no matter how many times I try.” “Get along you little scamp before I really do spank your bottom.” “Papa I left a gift for you and Granddaddy in the car, try to use it responsibly.” “Why would he give us a gift on his graduation day?” “He's his father’s son Brian. It still amazes me the progress modern medicine has made in the last few years.” “Life goes on Sunshine. Why don’t we go see what Gus’ Sonnyboy got us?” “Goodbye Mel, Lindsay, we had a good time.” “Well Brian have a good time with Taylor’s gift.” “You know about that?” “Of course but then we already opened our envelope and so we know what it is. I‘m sure you'll appreciate it as much as we do.” “Brian why don’t we go find out what the gift is.” “Sunshine you always were impatient about opening gifts. - - - - Justin you know I find your tongue very attractive but you're a bit old to be sticking it out at me in public.” *** “The little shit.” “Well what is it Sunshine, don’t keep me in suspense.” “Look at it for yourself.” “Why would he get us a gift certificate for a night at the Hilton?” “Look again Brian it's more than just a night at the Hilton.” “The little shit. What the hell, Justin will you spend the night with me in the Honeymoon suite?” “Have I ever said no to you when it really mattered? *** “Brian that was a wonderful night we’ll have to thank Taylor. As long as we've been together and as often as we've had sex who would’ve thought that it would be so special in the Honeymoon suite?” “I don’t know Justin, I’ve found that having sex with you anywhere is special and I never want to even think about not having you in my life. That being said I had a great time last night as well. I hope that Gus’ Sonnyboy had a good time last night as well. Just think in a few months he'll be in State College and we'll have the house to ourselves again.” “How can he be old enough to be going to college, Gus was just a little boy the other day.” “Whether we like it or not time is marching along but as long as you're with me I can deal with the passage of time. I love you Justin Craig Kinney-Taylor with all of my heart.” “I love you too Brian Shawn Kinney-Taylor and you don’t have to worry I’ll always be by your side.” “Then the two of us need to find somewhere to eat since I’m sure that the twink in my life is as hungry as I am. Shall we walk side by side or take the car?” “Let’s walk, I’m always happy to walk side by side hand in hand with my old man.” *** “Granddaddy it’s time you get up, we have a lot of things to do before we go to the school for my graduation.” “FUCK, God Damn it to hell Sunshine, NOT AGAIN.”
