Jordan smiled, hearing that laugh and found himself laughing too. "That sounds wonderful. We have some packing to do then gorgeous. Maybe we can even find an old tent somewhere, unless you wanna sleep under the stars." Jordan said, smiling into the gentle kiss. He heard cheering and whooping from the bed as Asher broke the kiss and he looked up at Carlos, winking. "Perhaps you should take your love on one once you aren't on probation anymore." He suggested which made Kaleb blink. He had found the moment between Jordan and Asher incredibly sweet and beautiful.

Jacob nodded, hearing Hayden before watching him stand up and for the first time in a long time, saw him walk almost normal. It was so nice to see, and he had a feeling that this surgery was going to go perfectly. "I should find my husband too. But, yes. I agree. A breath of fresh air indeed." He said, standing up and walking over to the door. He patted Nate's shoulder before he headed out as well. Alex looked at Nate and smiled, shrugging his shoulders. "Well, I can't do anything medical, so you've got me beat there. So I guess I'm thankful to have you love. You can patch me up if something goes wrong."

Kaiden heard that soft hum as he caressed Ezekiel's cheek gently. A grin crossed his face at the word, and the low almost raspy voice. "Do I?" He asked, smiling at the nose brushing gently against his own. "You're a bad influence and going to get me in trouble just for suggesting that. But.. I'm inclined to agree this time." He said, feeling his partner's lips brush against his own. He leaned in, almost kissing him before he dropped the hand from his cheek. He pulled his other hand free. "But, you have to leave this workshop first.." He said, grinning, winking and turned to run for the door, looking back at Ezekiel and winked again, hand held out behind him.​

“We just unpacked everything,” Asher moaned. “Couldn’t you have asked this before I spent all that time putting everything away?” He did not actually care, though. He might have been the day before. He certainly would have been a week before. But now? Now he was living the high of being with Jordan so completely again. Carlos thought about this, puffed out a lip in thought, and then nodded. “Mm, my love, we could climb another mountain and be on the top of the world.” Asher pulled away even though he did not want to. He had packing to do. Though, they did have whatever roughly four days meant. “I have connections. I can find us a tent. Maybe.”

As the older men left, Nate found himself unsure what he was supposed to do now that they were still in the tent. He grinned as he looked at Alex. “So I can do one thing you can’t. Fine. But you can still do everything else.” He kissed Alex’s cheek. “Because you are the most amazing person in the entire world. You can’t prove me wrong, Mr. Woodworker After One Day.” He laughed though it was more like a giggle as he slid his hand into Alex’s and pulled him out of the tent. He had no plan. He was just moving.

If Kaiden was going to tease him like that, he was definitely not going to be able to keep working. What was he trying to make? Rings. Why? Because he was going to ask this man to marry him. He knew it in that moment. Alex was right. Atarah was not the right person for him, but Kaiden was. He was perfect. He bit his lip as Kai pulled away. And ran. Without a second thought, Ezekiel was running after him, tossing down the apron on whichever surface was closest so that he could catch up. He never looked away from those beautiful eyes. Some things never changed like chasing after each other. “What did I tell you? You always get what you want.” He reached for Kai’s hand as soon as he was close enough.​

Jordan chuckled, listening to Asher and shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, we unpacked everything, and no. I wasn't going to ask before that." He said with a grin, looking at Asher. He loved this, the feeling of being one with Asher again, and he knew that asking him to marry him was the right call. "I like the idea of that love. Climbing another mountain." Kaleb agreed, as he looked at the other two. "Well gorgeous, we have about an hour before dinner. We can pack, we can dance some more, or we can leisurely make our way to town again."

Alex smiled, seeing that grin and nodded. "Well, they certainly don't call you medicine man for reason." He replied, and snorted a laugh hearing him. He felt the hand slide into his and he turned to follow Nate. He didn't know where they were going, but at this point, he didn't really care. He was with his love, in a peaceful town with no infected and happier than he'd been in years.

Kai looked back, seeing Ezekiel running after him and grinned, hearing his words. "Of course I do. That's my charm." He said, and when his partner was close enough, he snagged the outstretched hand, laughed and led him to their home at a run. He loved this, the chase, the run, and the teasing. He was panting softly when they made it to the house, and he led Ezekiel inside, shutting the door behind them. "If we stay here during dinner, you know we'll have to lock the door right?"​

Asher looked over at the other two and sighed. What was happening right now? Had they reverted back years? No, because everything was so much better now than it had been then. It was hard for his mind to comprehend. It was not that long ago that he was surviving. Now he was what? Living? That was ridiculous. He was sounding like the people that his parents were so heavily against. School girls. ‘They sound like school girls.’ He never got to learn exactly what that meant, but he understood the context. That was him. “A whole hour. What do you two want to do?” He turned to Kaleb and Carlos. “Climb a mountain. Though I don’t think we could do that in an hour. Or for another month.” He laughed. “Mm.” It was hard for them all to think straight.

When they were out in the street, he slowed so that they could take it in. Fully take in the world that was theirs. This home. They were safe. They were happy. This was such a good day. He heard laughter from somewhere down the street and searched for it where they stood. He shot his free hand to his mouth as he saw who it was. He nudged Alex in the shoulder and pointed. Ezekiel ran after Kai and disappeared from view. “Weren’t you just with him?”

Ezekiel smiled the entire way home. He thought about all the times that Kaiden would do something and leave which just made Ezekiel want to follow. How he would laugh. How he sometimes could almost catch him. He was glad they could keep some version of that even now. As soon as the door shut, he had one hand around Kai’s waist and another running up his cheek and into his hair. “And barricade it,” he agreed. He pressed a less than gentle kiss to his neck. “And hope I don’t have to make us a new door.”​

Jordan looked at Asher, then at the other two and smiled happily. He wondered what they could do in an hour, though Jordan had an idea. "I think we should shut the door, ignore dinner and cuddle on the bed together." He said, though the grin on his face promised more than that. He was full of sappy today. "Or.. I think Ellie left the gramophone here, we could play some of her records and dance more, then go to dinner." Jordan suggested. Kaleb looked at Carlos and then at the other two. "I kind of like the idea of dancing myself."

Alex smiled as they took in the home they had now. He heard laughter as he felt the nudge to his shoulder and followed the point. He saw Ezekiel chasing after Kai and laughed softly. "Now you see why I came to find you. The tension there was way to much for me. It was almost worse than Carlos at his sappiest." Alex said as he shook his head and started walking down the street.

Kaiden grinned at Ezekiel, feeling the hand around his waist and the other on his cheek and into his hair. "Put a sign on the door. 'Dad don't come in.' too." He chuckled, his neck extended to expose more skin. "Mm. At least you can make us a new door." He said, his arms wrapping around Ezekiel's neck. He didn't want to break this, so he pulled one arm away and reached behind him to lock the door.​

Carlos was always down with a good cuddle, but they had been cuddling a lot today. That and they did not get to dance too often. Of course, now that they had a home, they certainly could do that more. He picked himself up off the bed and held out his hand to Kaleb. “Then dancing we shall do. We need to practice for when we have that wedding of ours.” Asher laughed and took Jordan’s hand. “Come on, let’s go find it before I change my mind about this.” He really was not much of a dancer, though he was in the mood to do just about anything with Jordan.

Nate grinned and tried to hold in another chuckle. “Are they really that bad? How can you possibly be worse than Carlos. He’s so much!” He giggled at himself for being so loud. He swung their clasped hands as they walked down the street. He took in each of these places, trying to commit them to memory. It seemed unlikely to work, and that was why he had Alex. Alex was his guide everywhere. Guide to home. He wondered if they would run into Eli and Theo out here.

Ezekiel kissed down Kaiden’s neck and to wherever he could reach, and once that ended, he moved to the other side. He stopped with a kiss below his eat. His lips hovered against his ear. “Do you think that would be enough to keep him out?” He asked in a murmur. Very little was enough to stop Hayden when he was on a roll, though last night was certainly something else, so he may have decided that today would be a bad day to fight them again. Maybe some space was good. Besides, Ezekiel really wanted some space between them and Kaiden’s parents.​

Kaleb looked at Carlos and grinned, taking the hand offered to him and slipped off the bed. "Yes, if we practice now then we'll look perfect at our wedding." Kaleb agreed. Jordan looked at Asher, chuckling as he held his hand. "Yes!" Jordan said, smiling wide as he all but dragged Asher out of the room to search for the gramophone. He searched the dining room, knowing that was where he'd seen it last. "Oh! There!" Jordan said, smiling as he grabbed it. "Can you get the box of records for me gorgeous?"

Alex snorted a laugh and nodded. "They can be. It's always been intense between them, but it went from being mad at each other to completely in love." He said as he smiled, walking down the street. It didn't take long before someone called his name and he turned. "Oh. I guess we're out at the same time as Eli and Theo again. Wanna join them?" Alex asked as he looked at Nate, smiling.

Kaiden bit his lip as he felt those lips travel down his neck, and the kiss below his ear. He heard the murmured words and chuckled low. "Probably not, but.. we can move the couch in front of the door, that might deter him long enough for papa to get him to leave it alone." Kai said, shifting in place. "But enough talking about my fathers. I don't want to think of anything but you. Got it?" His tone low and teasing.​

Carlos let go of Kaleb’s hand, slid his arms under Kaleb’s, and lifted him up to twirl him around. “Can you imagine how amazing we will be in those beautiful clothes and a dance we actually know how to do?” They were planning so many amazing things today. They did so many amazing things! This was truly a great day. Asher trudged after Jordan as he searched for the gramophone, though he could not hide the smile that now lived on his face. “Making me work for it and everything? Fine. I guess.” He grabbed the box of records to follow Jordan.

Nate shook his head. “I can’t imagine being that intense all the time. We’re not like that are we?” He didn’t think so. He just really liked being with Alex. His head turned and he waved to the approaching people. “I would.” They made their way over to the other two. Theo bounced up and down as he waved. “ALEX!” he yelled like they were just meeting again after years and not on several days of this.

It was just as well that Kai was done with the conversation, because Ezekiel was getting far too distracted to keep up with it. His mind jumped from only the ring project to only Kaiden. As was the way with him. Even before they were together, Kaiden dominated his thoughts. His breath caught with that low tone. He brushed his lips across cheek and tilted his head slightly. With narrowed eyes, and his own dark tone, he asked, “Is that an order?”​

Kaleb laughed as he felt the arms under his as Carlos lifted him up. While they twirled, his arms hooked around Carlos’ neck. “I can imagine it. We’ll be the best looking and most beautiful pair there.” He agreed. Jordan chuckled as he looked at Asher. “I cannot drop this beautiful music maker, so yes. I am.” He said with a grin that stretched across his face wide. He made his way back to the room and set the gramophone down. “Alright you two. Ready for this?”

Alex shook his head. “It certainly wasn’t easy, and no we aren’t like that.” He said as he waved at the other two. Upon hearing Nate agree, he headed towards them. He chuckled at Theo’s enthusiasm as Eli shook his head at his partner. “Love. Calm yourself, breathe.” Eli said softly, hand resting on Theo’s shoulder as the other two came up to them.

Ezekiel, like always, had crept into Kaiden’s thoughts. From the very first time they met to now. Sure he did think of other thumping, but the former Seraphite now his partner still occupied a large spot in his mind constantly. He saw those narrowed eyes and heard that dark tone. “Yes. It is an order.” His own eyes narrowed and he kept that low tone as he replied.​

Hearing Jordan coming back up the stairs, Carlos stopped their spinning. He could see the two of them looking like royalty as they danced around other people who looked like royalty. In that moment, it was all he wanted. He kissed Kaleb’s cheek. “I love you.” Jordan and Asher were back which meant his attention shifted to them. “Im ready for anything,” he answered. Asher set the box of records down. “You really aren’t. I could name many things you aren’t ready for. Jordan dancing to music. Not ready.” Carlos laughed.

Was Theo ever able to calm down when Eli told him too? Sometimes. It was hard for his body to regulate. In another time, they could have gotten him medication that would genuinely help the chemical imbalances inside of him. However, this was a world without medicine. Hayden had considered looking into creating some for Theo, though they would need a better supply of ingredients. It was possible that they could figure out a supplement. He just never did. Theo shifted to little bounces instead as he slowed his wave. He smiled apologetically as they got closer. Nate also smiled. “It’s nice to see everyone! How is everyone’s day?”

A low audible hum oozed from him at Kaiden’s words. He slid both hands just above Kai’s hips to pull them close together. He smiled mischievously. “Sir, yes, sir.” He pressed a deep and desperate kiss against him. They really shouldn’t get so carried away that they don’t go to dinner. They should be good boys and follow the most important routine that has always been in place. Yet, Ezekiel could not seem to want to care too much. All he cared about was Kai.​

The moment they heard footsteps, Kaleb felt the spinning stop. He smiled at the kiss to his cheek and looked at Carlos. “I love you too.” He said, his voice full of nothing but love. Kaleb turned to look at the other two and chuckled hearing Asher’s words. Jordan snorted a laugh as he set up the gramophone and put a record on. It was an older album but it was a mixture of slow and upbeat songs. “Ready for this?” Jordan asked as he started the record. The first song was slow and he took Asher’s hand in his and the other went to his hip. “Come on gorgeous, let’s show them how to dance.”

Alex smiled at Theo as they came up as Eli smiled. “Well. The kids were very rowdy today. But I was able to get them to focus a little bit near the end.” Eli said as he looked at Alex. “How was the workshop?” He asked and Alex smiled. “It was really fascinating actually, and Ezekiel taught me how to sand and cut wood.” Alex replied before he looked at Theo. “How was patrol?” He asked him, curiously.

Kaiden saw that mischievous smile and heard his words. Felt him pull them close together. He kissed him back just as desperate and deep. “Mm. We’ve been following the wrong pairing’s example.” Kaiden finally pulled away as he spoke. “I’d rather be like uncle Soren and Jacob.” He said, pulling from Ezekiel long enough to look at him. “I say we skip dinner..”​
