In no time at all both men were seated at the counter eating their waffles with hungry gusto...trying to replenish their energy that had been consumed aqll of last night and this morning. Waffles had never tasted so good to Jaime until that moment and he had to moan in bliss as the rich buttery maple flowed across his tongue...filling his belly with mouth watering goodness of those nearly light as air confections. Hearing the sounds of enjoyment coming from his young lover pleased Keiran to no end, knowing his baby loved his cooking warmed his heart. After they were done, they both got up to clean the kitchen quickly before retiring on the couch to cuddle naked under the blanket as they watched a comedy movie called "In & Out" featuring Tom Sellack and Kevin Kline. Keiran loved watching his baby laugh at all the antics that "Howard" engaged in to prove to everyone he wasn't gay, while laying on top of his older lover. When it came to the part where Howard was trying to resist dancing to the song "I Will Survive", Jaime chuckled as he casually commented on the scene.

"If that was me...I wouldn't resist. At the part of the drumbeat you would see me running naked through the house with my arms waving in the air...screaming loudly "I will survive...Whoopee!" as I pranced about having a ye old good time. I don't think I could resist that song." Keiran almost choked on his spit as laughter bubbled up at the image of his love dancing naked through the room...it seemed his nether region liked that idea also as it began to sit up with interest...poking Jaime's thigh. Those blue eyes glanced away from the movie to look up in surprise before narrowing in mischief delight as one hand trailed down that broad chest...coarse hairs tickling his fingertips along the path down towards his main goal.

"Is Daddy hungry...again?" his sweet voice was filled with wicked temptation that made Keiran's heart beat faster. Just as one of those large hands skimmed down to take a hold of one of Jamie's plump cheeks below the blanket, there was a loud knock on the front door, disturbing their moment . With a loud growl Keiran reached down to grab the pair of shorts he placed on the floor just in case someone did come a knocking and slid them on as he stalked to the door to answer it. He heard Jamie giggling behind him on the couch as he grumbled at the interruption...quickly opening the door to tell off whomever was there, he bit back the snarl on his lips as there was an embarrassed yelp echoed from the couch.

"Hello Keir. My you're looking so nicely...attired this afternoon." Kai-Anji smirked at his friend who began to faintly blush as he gestured for his friend to step inside his home.

"Anji, i forgot you were going to stop by with Jaime's lesson today. Ahhh....I...was just relaxing with Jaime before dinner at Aunt Evie's tonight." he tried to casually walk away as if he wasn't standing there half naked...his hazel eyes spotting his beloved boy practically hiding under the blanket on the couch. Anji noticed the squirming lump there and tried to hide his knowing smile from them both as he headed towards the kitchen counter to retrieve his notes in his carrying case for the young student.

"Mr. Winters..." he smiled when he heard a squeak coming from the blanket.".... I heard you didn't feel well enough to come to class today." he swore he could feel the heat of embarrassment from Jamie clear across the room and he bit his lips to keep from laughing at how entertaining it was to tease the boy...but he also could feel the scowl from his friend so he refrained from laughing...for now. "Well, since you are one of my favorite students, I brought todays lesson to you for you to study. Don't worry, you didn't miss much at all...I only handed out the study guide for the Mid term exams and allowed class to dismiss early." he quickly brought out the guide and laid it on the counter. "I seriously doubt you will need this but here it is for you to go over before the test on Monday." his brown eyes spied a mass of blonde hair and blue eyes peeking out from the blanket as Jaime shyly spoke.

"Thank you...Mr. Sakata." he had to shake his head a tiny bit as he watched his friend sit back down onto the couch and gathered the young man up into his lap...blankets and all. Seeing the two together there on the couch, looking so naturally good there as if they belonged together made him realize that maybe this boy was Keirs other half...especially since Keir allowed Jamie to stay the night when he has never done that before in all the years he has known him. With silent grace Anji walked over to where both men sat and knelt down to be on better eye level with the young man.

"Please, call me Anji..that's what my friends call me. If I am correct here about you two then I believe we will become friends also." Jaime peered at Anji with a stunned look upon his face before shyly looking down to his lap...a soft smile on his face.

"Alright...Anji sir. Thank you for everything." he saw Anji nod his head as he smiled before those golden brown eyes narrowed at him which made him very nervous  suddenly.

"So...here is the friend speech." Keiran growled at Anji but the Asian man waved him off and continued. "Keir is my best friend and I would do anything for him, so hurt him and you will regret it. Got it?" Jaime nodded as his blue eyes went big in alarm as a small panic attack began to trickle along his spine. "I come from a long line of ancient warriors who believe in protecting family and Keiran O'Shea is the "adopted" son to the Sakata family...so don't hurt my brother or else." that blonde head nodded violently as Keiran wrapped his arms around Jaime to pull him closer to his hard body, feeling the young man begin to tremble in his arms as his panic attacked swelled more...Keiran quickly sought to bring the young man comfort as those hazel eyes glared at Kai-Anji with a silent message in them.

~Stop! Scaring! Him!~ Kai-Anji gave his friend a nod and smiled as he softened his features once more, realizing that he was scaring Jaime with his words. 

"Now that unpleasant chore has been dispensed with, we can get back to doing something fun...like maybe...having lunch and getting to know you better..after all if my family gets wind about you two being together then they will adopt you like they did Keir here." both older men chuckled at how bashful Jaime got but they were relieved when the young man's anxiety calmed down finally.

Several hours later and some raised eyebrows from Anji directed at Keiran because he ushered a very blushing Jaime towards the bathroom so they could get washed before dinner with Aunt Evie, who just happened to invite Anji along also when she heard he was at her nephews that moment. Poor Keiran got an earful when she found out that her other "nephew" was there and had not been invited to eat with them...he went from being her inconsiderate nephew to her shameful nephew in a heartbeats time, so if he wanted to not be on her coal receiving list for Christmas this year he would right this wrong immediately. He did, much to Anji's laughter and a lot of dread from Jaime who he had to soothe quickly because the poor boy was terrified to meet his Aunt in a more casual setting. Eventually he was able to calm his baby's nerves and usher both men out the door to go downstairs where his aunt lived at. Taking Jamie's hand to rub soothing circles on he knocked on the door and waited as he heard a loud woman's cry through the door...inviting them in.

~Come In...Door is unlocked!~ with a deep breath they entered the abode...Jaime stared around for a moment until suddenly he was enveloped in the biggest hug from the dark haired woman he met over a month ago in the diner.

"Oh my...look at you. So this is the young man who was rocking your world last night, daor nia (nephew dear). My you are such a darling." she held him away from her for a moment to look at him blushing with keen eyes as if weighing something inside of him before she gave him an enormously loving smile as she patted his cheek and turned her piercing gaze onto her nephew. "Keiran Ailbe O'Shea, you better treat this boy right, like he deserves or so help me I will cut you off from any desserts I make. Understand?" Keiran gulped loudly before nodding his head in agreement which appeased the woman for she turned her eyes onto Anji. "Come here my boy.It's been over a month since I have seen you at the Diner...what has kept you away?"suddenly that smirking over confident man looked down abashed...knowing he had not visited as often as he should have.

"I...have been swamped Aunt Evie. I am sorry ma'am."she gave him a stare before nodding at him.

"Alright...but don't let it happen again. Understand?"he nodded in agreement quickly...a small snicker from Keiran echoed behind him. "Good. Now Jaime..." he jumped with a small yelp, ready to bolt from this woman who was formidable in his eyes...this petite woman had two full grown men cowering from her and not once did she raise her voice. She smiled at the sound and softened her tone. "Jaime my dear, come with me and help in the kitchen, please. These two are useless in the kitchen..." she saw Keiran was going to protest and she gave him a mock glare which shut him up. "Yes, I know you can cook fine, but with you two around food seems to never find its way to the table. So I am not taking a chance before dinner is served. thank you very much." Jaime couldn't hold back the giggle at both mens disgruntled faces as he was led to the kitchen to help by Evie. It took next to no time at all for Jaime to relax and get to know this woman in a way that only those closest to her got to see. Yes at first she was terrifying because she had such a strong personality, but underneath she was sweet and loving to them...serving up a little bit extra helpings of pie, knowing how much Keiran and Anji loved her desserts, all while chatting away about her "boys" as she liked to call both men.

"So, Jaime....you have any family here?" she asked while taking a bite of the cheesecake she made earlier.

"No ma'am. They live back east." he suddenly looked down at his lap...his stomach tightening as the cake began to lose any appeal to him, she mistook the gesture for  being homesick for his family.

"They must miss you terribly with you being so far away." she reached over to give his hand that was on the table a sympathetic pat...trying to comfort the young boy but not knowing that any thoughts of his family depressed him with their memory of how they hated him.

"N...not really." three pairs of eyes looked at him strangely and he rushed on to clarify his words..not wanting them to get the wrong impression but also hoping to not be pitied. " They pretty much disowned me when they found out I was gay. My sister calls me "the thing"..my mother barely tolerated me and treated me as if I was diseased and my father...he barely talked to me at all. The day  left to come to school here they didn't even say goodbye...just let me walk out the door and get a cab to the airport. If it wasn't for Kayla and Chloe, I don't know what I would have done..." his words trailed off as his throat began to clog just from the memories of those past few years that was so dispiriting and he couldn't hold back the tears of pain he had held inside all this time as he began to cry...tears falling into his lap and blurring his vision where he didn't see their faces that were staring at him in horror at hearing about the abuse from his family. He barely noticed Keiran pushing his own chair away from the table with a angered expression on his face...but he felt it when suddenly he was picked up and settled onto the older man's lap as he made soft comforting noises at the distraught boy. Jaime was embarrassed that he was crying in front of Keiran's family like this...he believed they would think him weak and not worthy to be with Keiran, but no matter hard he tried to stop he couldn't quit crying or apologizing for his shameful behavior.

"I'm sorry sir...*hiccup*I can't seem to stop...*sniffle-sniffle* I'm sorry Daddy...*hiccup*" suddenly Keiran went stiff under him...Anji choked on his drink...and Aunt Evie gasped. In that moment Jaime realized what he said in front of everyone and he prayed a dark hole would just open up under him and swallow to save him the humiliation of this all.He believed the reason why Keiran went stiff was because he was furious at the young man's slip of the tongue...Jamie hid his face into his hands as he tried to curl up into a miserable ball on his lovers lap. "I'm so sorry...please forgive me sir. I don't know why I said that. So sorry...so so sorry...please..." his body trembled in those strong arms as he waited for the explosion to happen. His words and tone shocked everyone out their surprised...Anji looked away to hide his blushing and Evie glared at Keiran to fix this as he just ignored them and wrapped his arms tighter around his baby...cooing into his ear as he held him to him.

"Shhh...baby boy. Nothing to forgive , love. I told you I love you calling me that. I don't care what anyone else thinks. You are my baby boy. I was just surprised you said it when others are around. I know how shy you are and I didn't think you would ever say that in public. It is fine leanbh buachaill." he kissed the top of those blond locks and held the boy tightly to him as he waited for Jaime to slow down crying enough.

"I don't why I am crying so much."  he wailed softly as he turned his face from his hands and into that broad chest. It was Evie who answered as she moved to the vacant chair next to Keirans and placed her hand on Jamie's knee with such motherly love for this boy.

"It's because, mo bhuachaill ( my darling boy), you have a wound that has been festering for a long time and now you finally feel safe enough to let it open up to be washed clean so it will heal right." her tone was filled with compassion and understanding as if she understood what he was feeling completely.

"But I felt safe with Kayla and Chloe...why now and not then." he sniffled loudly as he tried to find the flaw in her explanation. It seemed as if Anji wanted to put in his own thoughts into this conversation as his deep accented voice wafted across the table to the pair sitting there.

"Because shin'ainaru shonen (dear boy)...they are not Keir, your love. It is totally different when it is someone you love from someone who you think as a sibling. Deep down you know you can trust him with everything..not having to hold a part of yourself back from him." his words rang with truth...Jaime nodded at him as Evie stood up with a smile on her face as she reached over to lay one hand on Jaime's back and the other on Keiran's shoulder before indicating to Anji to follow her to the porch to give both men a moment alone. Once those doors shut behind the two, Keiran used a finger to lift his baby's face up so he could wipe the tears from his young lovers face...seeking his attention to hear the words he had to say.

"They are right Jaime. You don't have to hide or be ashamed of anything with me love. You already know deep inside that I will take care of you...to protect you. I want to do this...I want you Jaime as you are."those blue eyes gazed up at Keiran as Jaime's mind mulled his words over. These last few days have been like a whirlwind for him...all the declarations of their feelings...the intense passionate sex they had shared...everything was moving so fast that if he stopped to think about it then he would run, for nothing about any of this made logical sense. The only place something like this ever happened in was in one of those romance novels that he secretly liked to read when he felt depressed sometimes. It was only in the realm of fantasy and romance did someone tall, dark , and sexy, like Keiran who looked like a Greek God that had stepped down from his temple on high to swoop up a simple ordinary boy. like himself, and devote himself as a lover to the awed mortal peasant. But somewhere in Jaime's heart there was a voice loudly proclaiming that it did happen in reality... a gorgeous man of such masculine beauty did sail in, proclaiming himself to be in love with someone as unremarkable as Jaime.

~ Heart or Mind, which one to listen to?~ Looking into those hazel eyes that were promising so much within, Jaime made his choice...his Heart. All his life he has listened to his mind and logic telling him to not do this because it is not normal...don't trust, no one has your best interests...love is not real, it's only pheromones that dictate who's compatible with who...no one can accept you as you are, for you're not lovable. In that moment Jamie decided for once he was going to listen to what his heart said and the rest of the world could kiss his pale, skinny ass if they didn't like it. Slowly he raised his hand up to caress that bearded cheek as he gazed deeply into the older man's eyes.

"I want you too...and only you...Daddy Keiran." as if in slow motion, Keiran leaned down as Jaime rose up and their lips met in the sweetest kiss filled with promises and the passion they held close to their hearts for each other.
