A friend <3

I think that's really neat

On that first night, Tommy is coming off a shift just as the kids are settling down for the night. When he arrives, they’re all gathered in Maddie and Chimney’s living room, digging through a bucket of Lego and crafting different things. The kids pull him into their crafting, given that they’ve already got Evan building with them—he insists he’s building a fire truck. And even though he’s fried from his workday, Tommy does join them. While they all work away at their individual builds, he starts crafting a helicopter. Of course, his and Evan’s builds aren’t anywhere near finished when Evan tells them it’s time to call it a night. He sees them each off to bed, tucks Jee in with a kiss goodnight, and then joins Tommy back in the living room, where he’s still working on the helicopter. As he comes to sit down next to his boyfriend, he’s taken by the craftsmanship on the build.  “We don’t have to keep doing this, you know,” Evan tells him, even as he reaches into the bucket for more red bricks.  Tommy glances up at him and smiles, even though the weariness is present in his expression.  “I don’t mind,” he replies. “I used to love playing with Legos as a kid.”  Evan lifts an eyebrow at him, but smiles back. He likes it when Tommy opens up. “Really?”  Tommy nods as he pieces a few blocks together. “Yeah. I mean I knew to stay out of my dad’s way, and my mom’s solution for that was usually to give me something to do with my hands. So I used to get really into builds.” He pauses for a moment and glances over at Evan’s half-finished fire truck. “Clearly you’ve had your own time with the bricks.”  Evan gives a small smile as he locks several bricks into place on the build.  “I mean, you know my parents weren’t really available to me, in any sense,” he replies, glancing up at Tommy briefly and then back at his truck. “But when I was really young, they would throw money at anything to keep me occupied. And then when it was mostly Maddie, she was still in high school, and then college, so she’d get me to do these crazy concepts just to help the time pass.”  Tommy nods as he listens to Evan. He pauses his working as Evan finishes his explanation and then reaches his hand closest to his boyfriend out, squeezing it. Evan glances up at him and the expression in Tommy’s eyes is one of sadness.  “I’m sorry they were like that to you,” he states softly. Everything in Evan tells him to shrug it off—that’s what he always does, dismisses the way his parents damaged him—but there’s something in the way that Tommy treats him that gives him the ability to own the empathy that he’s being given.  “Thanks,” he says softly. Tommy lets go of his hand, only to curl it under his chin and pull Evan towards him. The kiss is soft, but full; not pleading, but also expressive of this thing they’re cultivating between them. There’s no tangible evidence that either of them can reach out and touch, but whatever it is, it’s alive.

This is Mot, my paladin of 3 years! She’s asexual (like me).
