Second- second date and meeting mom
Their second-second date arrived a few weeks later when Brian asked Zack if he wanted to go to an art exhibit. Zack willingly agreed so Brian dropped Jared and the pups off at Matt and Val’s lately. Matt hadn’t come around lately which was kind of odd. Even before they moved in with him Matt had come over every other day at least. When Brian stopped by Matt was very short with his sentences and let Val handle the transaction.
At the exhibit Brian and Zack spent hours talking about what they thought was going through the creators mind at the time the paintings were made. One caught their attention: two men were laying on a bed the smaller one under the larger laying back to chest. The smaller one was face down but their hips were up and connected. You could see one of the men had black hair fanning so you couldn’t see his face, the other hand sand colored blonde hair also covering his face but he held his head high with his back arched. You could tell just by the position that they were being intimate; the taller male’s fingers entwined with the back of his lovers hands on either side of his head.
For some reason that picture reminded Zack of him and Brian; two gay men in a beautiful position in life. He imagined that when people looked in on their love making that the people saw it as beautiful as that image.
“Tangled is a beautiful piece isn’t it?” A man with short and choppy black hair walked up to them. “The painter was imagining the lost love of his life when he created that. He invented it purely on an image and the knowledge he knew of the man. He had never even seen the boy naked once in his life but he painted that just after he had a dream. It mirrors in every detail what he saw that eventful night.”
“How do you know that?” Brian asked walking up behind Zack and resting his head on his boyfriends shoulder.
“I know this because I painted that picture.” The man smiled; to be honest that smile could light up room full of people going to a funeral. “Derek Callahan.” Both men happily shook his hand. “If you are looking to buy one of my pieces I strongly suggest this one and no I am not fishing for a better sale. All of my paintings go for the same price. To me selling is about the meaning behind why the piece is bought not how much it goes for.”
“What is your price?” Brian wondered tightening his grip around Zack’s waist.
“A hundred for any of my available paintings.” Derek smiled something caught his attention to the left of Zack and Brian.
“I will take it.” Brian pulled away from Zack and pulled out his wallet. He made the exchange and happily took his painting. Derek put it in bubble wrap and handed it to Brian. They thanked one another happily.
“If you will excuse me my husband and kids just showed up,” and Derek took his leave. He walked over to a man with jet black hair; he was holding the hand of a girl who looked to be five and had another who had to be around three on his hip.
When their day came to an end Brian took them to an ice cream shop and they ate them while walking through the park. They found a bench and sat down for a little while just looking up at the stars.
“So?” Brian dragged out the O making it seam like a question all on its own. “I was wondering if you would like to go up to the mountains with me and Jared for about a week. We would rent a cabin and snowboard the hell out of those mountains.” Brian had a child like smile on his face.
“I would but I don’t have any gear.” Zack informed the older man as he munched on his cone.
“I have the clothes that would fit you and we can get you some snow boots. I have a few boards. We don’t differ that much in height so you should be fine on one of them.” Brian placed his arm across the back of the bench behind Zack.
“A week in a cabin with you and the little monster huh?” Zack thought about it for a minute. He was watching Brian; checking to see if his intentions were pure. “Yeah it could be fun. But if I get frostbite on my ass I am going to kick you in yours.”
“Baby the only way you would get frostbite on your ass is if you were to be doing something you really shouldn’t in snow.” Brian chuckled placing a kiss on Zack’s cheek.
“I meant because of me falling so much you perv.” Zack laughed finishing off his ice cream just now noticing that Brian was already done with his bowl. He grabbed the trash and threw it away in a near by bin. Zack walked back to Brian and pulled the taller man up by his hands. Brian stepped forward when he was pulled to Zack’s chest. They shared a gentle kiss before Zack chuckled and pushed Brian away. “No sex.”
“I didn’t plan on it. I just think it would be nice to spend some time together. Kind of like a family thing you know?” Brian asked stepping back up and wrapping his arms around Zack’s neck; pulling the shorter man to his chest.
“Creators of families have sex Brian.” Zack joked poking his boyfriend in the sides so he would let his head go.
“Yes they do but honestly Zack if we have sex then we have sex but I’m not expecting anything.” Brian mumbled in Zack’s hair before letting him go.
“You are going to pack lube anyway aren’t you?” Zack wondered as they began walking. His hands were shoved in his front pocket.
“I always pack lube because you never know what will happen and when.” Brian informed Zack. When they got back to the truck Brian opened Zack’s door and let his boyfriend inside before he got in.
“Do you want me to take you to get the kid and pups now or would you like me to take you home and bring Nix over tomorrow so I can help you pack?” Brian gave Zack his options.
“Tomorrow,” Zack let out a loud yawn; who wouldn’t it was nearly ten at night and Zack had been going to bed early? “By the way that little shit has gotten use to sleeping in bed with me.”
“Ooh, you have to break that habit young or you will have him in bed for the rest of your life. I for one don’t like dogs in my bed so if you and I do ever take that next step and move in that little rascal will not be in my bed.” Brian stated pulling up to a stoplight.
“Who says it would be your house we move to?” Zack challenged with a big smile.
“Do you really want to uproot my boy?” Brian laid the fake guilt trip on heavily. “Come on think what’s best for him.”
“Eh, you are probably right anyway.” Zack pretended to give up by lifting his hands in surrender.
When they pulled up to Zack’s house they noticed the light was on inside and there was a car in the driveway. “What the hell is my mother doing here?” Zack was in awe for two reasons. He was wondering how his mother got into his house and two that she would ever lower herself to visit him.
Brian didn’t like the sound of this so he walked Zack up to his house. “Do you want me to stay?”
Zack thought about it for a few seconds and nodded before letting them into his unlocked front door. Zack took a few steps inside and was immediately brought him face to face with his mother. “Oh honey it is so good to see you.” Zack was confused when the woman threw her arms around his neck.
“What are you doing here?” The shock and unpleasantness could be heard in Zack’s voice.
“I missed you. Your father and I are in town for one of his business trips and I decided to stop by.” The woman said with a face happy tone.
“No. How did you even know where I lived?” Zack pushed her away from him and backed up. Right into Brian’s chest; his boyfriend placed his hands on his hips to steady him.
“Well I figured that you had to have grown out of that disgusting phase you use to go through. I think it’s been long enough Zack you should come back home.” Zack’s mother stated.
“Home? This is my home how the hell did you find me I made sure I moved far away-“ Zack’s words were cut off.
“I kind of accidentally let it slip that I had been spending time with you. She already knew where I was.” Matthew stated standing from Zack’s couch. “I’m sorry.”
“You are still he cold heartless bitch I left behind years ago. I think you need to leave.” Zack stated taking a few steps into his living room.
“You forgive Matthew for what he has done but you won’t forgive your mother?” She nearly screeched.
“My brother never struck me or called me names after he found out about my sexuality. Yeah some people do have a phase in life where they question themselves but realize that being gay is not for them but I stopped questioning years ago hence why I am in a relationship with a man.” Zack stated with his brows frowned.
“Zachary I knew I should have given you more time.” She shook her head and slipped on her shoes.
“No you don’t need to give me more time mother. I am gay. Get it through your head that I will never change and until you can accept that you should just stay away. I’m in a great relationship with an amazing person and I won’t give it up just to pretend to be strait to please you.” Smiled behind Zack.
“Your father will be stopping by in a few days to have words with you.” She stated glaring at her son.
“I won’t be here.” Zack spat glaring back.
“I never said what day he will be coming so you won’t expect it; by the way Zachary if you plan on staying with that.” She pointed to Brian. “Your father can find him easy enough. You can do anything with enough money.”
“Try it lady and see how far you get.” Brian sneered from behind Zack. “None of us will be around in the near future so I suggest you take your things, shove them up your ass and go back to where you came from because as Zack said you’re not welcome here and your husband sure as hell won’t be welcome in my home.”
“Just who the hell are you.” She snapped with a smirk Brian happily knocked her off of her pedestal.
“I’m the one fucking your son.” Brian stepped up behind Zack and wrapped his arms around him. Both Zack and Matt had to hold back their chuckles.
“Matthew I don’t want you around Zachary anymore.” She stated crossing her arms over her chest.
“Well I think now would be the perfect time to tell you I’m gay.” Matt stated looking deceivingly in her eyes.
“Don’t do this just to make your brother seam less at fault.” The woman was getting impatient.
“I’m not. As Brian so happily stated I’ve been fucking the same guy for the past two years. By the way where are you guys going?” Matt wondered.
“Jared up to the snow for a little while,” Zack decided to sit next to his brother.
“Oh that’s cool. Have you ever taken the little guy up before Brian?” Matt smiled up at the brown eyed man. The woman in the corner clicked her heals being impatient.
“No actually. We are going up there for his first time, kind of as a family thing. If Zack doesn’t mind you and Zander are more than welcome to join us.” Brian looked to Zack for confirmation. Zack nodded enthusiastically.
“That would be so much fun.” Zack stated looking over at his brother.
“I’ll think about it. If I can get off work for a few days I will.” By the time Matt’s last word came out the woman had slammed the door and was gone. “So are you guys really thinking about going for the week?”
“Yeah, it should be pretty fun teaching that clumsy bastard how to snowboard.” Brian joked pointing at Zack, earning himself a stuck out tongue from his boyfriend. Brian began walking outside.
"Where are you going?" Zack yelled from his spot on the couch. Brian stopped in the open doorway.
"To go hang that picture above your bed so every night when you look at it you imagine us fucking!" Brian yelled back; no doubt that Zack's neighbors had heard.
