>convincing<

Just because it's fluff doesn't mean I have to make it happy all the time. I'm physically incapable of leaving my boiz sad though.

"He's coming here?"
"Yes."
"And you had this whole conversation while I was asleep?"
"Yes. Well, you kinda woke up once, but still."
"Don't remember that. But seriously-"

"Marvin, it's fine." Whizzer sighed. "We have an extra room, with a king size bed. This apartment has a lot of space, and we haven't had company over in ages. Except for Jason, but y' know. He's my brother, how bad could he be?"

"First of all, they're Mormon-"
"Ex-Mormon, but that shouldn't be an issue anyway!" Whizzer exclaimed.
"I have no problem with Mormons, but it means they probably grew up with the notion of gay being bad. Hell, we grew up being told it was bad. Yes, you told Kevin we were roommates, but you know us. How long do you think we could go without getting walked in on?"

When Marvin was answered in silence, he continued. "Also, the fact that you're blood doesn't mean anything. He was raised a different way that you, and you don't know his tendencies."

Whizzer let out another sigh. "It's not like I've told him our address yet, or made any plans at all. However, if not knowing him is what you're worried about, then maybe let me meet him and get to know him. And another thing, you're right about what we grew up being told, but look at us now; all lovey-dovey, and totally not hetero."

Marvin's gaze fell to the ground as a warm hand cupped his cheek. He knew Whizzer was right, with how things changed, but it wasn't always like that. Four years ago, Marvin still had himself convinced that it was bad, while he was with a man. Two years apart, then two together again had changed him, but he was still unable to forgive himself for how he treated his lover.

"Marv, please look at me," Whizzer's soft voice pulled him from his thoughts. He only ever heard that voice is it was a deadly serious matter and the voice that usually brought arguments to an end.

Unable to say no, Marvin pulled his gaze up to expectant eyes. He melted all over again, no number of years would change that.

"You, mister, are not allowed to go there. I know what you're like, and I definitely know how you've changed. The past is the past, and we can't change it, ok? Please forgive yourself, for me?" Whizzer said sternly. However, a smile spread over his lips which was contagious. He received a quick peck on the lips before he continued speaking. "Just because you make me happy does not mean you can avoid the question."

"Fine!" Marvin said, defeated. "I guess... maybe... eventually... nah." He now displayed a teasing smirk.

"Marvin!" Whizzer whined as his boyfriend spun to walk away.

"You have a twin?" Connor asked, shocked.

"It's weird to think about, but yes."

"And you want me to go with you to meet him?" The statement Kevin had said earlier was repeated in a question.

"I mean, yeah? If you don't want to come, that's fine-"
"No! I mean, yes, I'd like to go with you. So, don't worry about that." Connor smiled. "I'm just surprised you'd wanna go with me."

Kevin almost rolled his eyes. He knew Connor was still uncomfortable with himself, being himself, after years of 'turning off' most of his feelings, but seriously? "You're one of my best friends, and we haven't talked much in a while. I haven't got details on the trip yet, and my family is also expecting me to stop by the house. Still, if you want to come..."

Connor beamed. "I'd love to go! Tell me when you have a date set."

After that, they remained in silence. They had been walking through the open streets as the sky shifted from blue to hues of pink and orange. While Kevin gazed upon the ranged colors in the sky, he didn't see the look he was recieving from his fellow Elder. He wouldn't see the wonder in his friend's eyes as the atmophere's colors seemed to reflect on their skin, adding a sort of unreal affect to the moment.

"I guess you were right," Connor spoke up again, only after training his eyes on the same sunset.
"Hm?" Kevin was pulled out of his daze, a confused expression setting upon his features.

"Sorry... I meant about how we haven't talked much in a while. You were right about that, so apologies," the shorter of the two explained, almost guiltily. He had been locking himslf away more so recently.

"If I were mad, would I have come to you about this still?" Kevin countered.
"Well, I don-"
"The answer is no. Just take a break from the books every once in a while, 'kay?"

He was satisfied with the nod he got, and turned back to the sunset. It was a mix of purples and blues by the time they reached the missionary hut. It was still morning back in Utah and, now that there was a reason to know it, New York as well. Kevin wondered, for no reason whatsoever, if his twin had seen the sunrise that morning and felt the same sort of peace he felt now. There'd be no way to tell, so he let the though drift to the back of his mind.

"Oh," Kevin stopped before entering the door, turning to face the redhead once more. "There's something Whizzer wanted me to tell you."

"What? Me?"

"Yeah, apparently he's not a murderer so we have nothing to worry about for visiting," he said in the most natural way he could.

"Hold on, what?"
