“You got it all set up, right?” Hiro asked, bouncing excitedly in his black furred boots- the ones he wears for fall and winter and sometimes spring because they’re that comfortable- grinning at his best friend, Benn Finn.

“Yeah, I did that when I was on my class break, before lunch,” the blonde grinned back, nudging Hiro in the side. “Oh man, you’re gonna love the picture I put up with everything.” he added and Hiro scrunched his nose up slightly, in worry and slightly fond annoyance.

“Oh no... what did you do this time, Benny?” Hiro groaned, but reluctantly resigned himself to finding out when they got back to his and Reaver’s apartment room, when all Benn did was grin toothily at him instead of answering.

Luckily their boyfriends, both Reaver and Lexal, were supposed to be waiting for them- since both Benn and Hiro had to stay behind at school to finish a small early term project that their science teacher just had to assign everyone in their grade. Lexal and Reaver were both lucky they were a grade above them, being twenty while Benn and him were only nineteen.

When they reached the apartment, Hiro opened the door and grinned when he saw Lexal sprawled on the couch and heard Reaver in the small kitchen. “Rea! I’m home!” he hummed and Reaver poked his head from the kitchen doorway, smiling at him before reaching out and pulling him in for a kiss.

“Hey Lex, sorry we’re late,” Benn sighed behind him and Hiro didn’t have to look to know Lexal was pouting at the blonde. The man was like a dog and he never liked to be away from Benn for too long. When Benn had to leave the state last year for a family trip, he was downright miserable without the teen.

“How was your project?” Reaver decided to ask, saving Lexal the trouble when both he and Hiro knew that talking wasn’t exactly on the man’s mind when he instead reached out and dragged Benn onto the couch with him, cuddling him like there was no tomorrow. The sight, distracting him for only a second, made Hiro laugh a little, before he turned back towards Reaver with a smile.

“It was fine, a little tedious, but fine.” Hiro responded, stealing one last kiss before pulling away to drop his backpack by the door and he made his way to the desk and computer that was hunched in the corner of their living room. “Finally, time to see what Benn did to our blog,” Hiro huffed and Benn snorted in return, not entirely paying attention to him though.

Turning on the computer, it didn’t take long for Hiro to pull up a page and go to their Tumblr, where Hiro and Benn had set up an ask blog for their viewers to get to know them. He barked out a laugh, though, when he saw the image in place of the opening statement. It was definitely not what he was expecting- though a blush did manage to crawl its way up his cheeks because of the picture.

It was taken last year on Halloween, at the college party that all the freshmen were having. It was actually one of the more fun nights Hiro had spent in the school with his friends and his boyfriend of eight years- Gods, the years keep passing, it’s almost hard to keep track of exactly when they got together. But what was embarrassing was the fact that all four of them went with a circus theme and while Reaver was the ringmaster and Lexal was the- actually, Hiro didn’t know what Lexal was, but that didn’t matter, not really- both he and Benn went as cats- a lion, for him, and a jaguar, for Benn- and Christ, he forgot how fucking girly they both looked. Not only because Hiro naturally looked feminine, but also because freaking Benn bought him a dress outfit that went with the ears and tail, and Benn actually did dress like a girl, with fake boobs and everything that went with it.

“See?” Benn grinned smugly, “Told you, you were going to love the picture I chose.”

“Gods,” Hiro groaned, huffing out another laugh, “why couldn’t you have picked a more civilized picture of the four of us? We look like girls... regardless of the fact that you actually went as one.” Benn laughed and shrugged, but Hiro decided to drop the subject anyway, especially when Reaver decided to chime in.

“I think you looked sexy in the dress, with the little ears and the tail,” Reaver grinned and Hiro’s blush darkened before he cleared his throat and started scrolling past the picture before reading through some of the information Benn provided, along with their guidelines for the ask blog.

-Anyone can ask any of us anything! Don’t be shy! -Personal questions are fine, so long as they’re not too personal or explicit. (Unless the question is for Reaver, I don’t think that man has any problems with anything, whatsoever.)

Hiro chuckled at that one and shook his head before continuing on.

-Be patient in waiting for replies because we do have school, maybe you’ve heard of it? It’s a little like Hell.

Grinning, Hiro had no idea what to say about that one, but he realized it was just a tiny bit true. Not college being like hell, but about the fact that people were going to have to wait for replies when they couldn’t get to them right away.

-Be respectful to anyone on the blog and especially to myself, Hiro, Lexal, and Reaver. We don’t want to have to report you if you don’t follow the rules. Not to mention, I’m allergic to douche-faces, so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t send me to the hospital, thanks.

Hiro outright laughed at that one and for a moment, everyone stared at him like he was insane, until he read the guideline out loud and added, “Really Benny? Really?” Benn joined him in the laughter while Lexal rolled his eyes and Reaver only chuckled in good nature, amused, no doubt.

-Now have a little fun and stay awesome!

Pleased with what Benn had written down, Hiro typed his own little tidbit underneath- If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to voice those to us and we’ll get them taken care of for you- before saving the post and updating the blog with it. “Perfect,” he said, leaning back in his chair and he smiled when Reaver leaned over his shoulder, looking at the screen before turning his head down to look at Hiro with a smile.

“It looks good, love,” he agreed and Hiro, still grinning, sat up to steal another kiss.

Now, all they had to do was wait. How hard could that be?
