Warren taught Thaddeus how to drive, but with lots of frustration. He also taught him all he needs to know about cars and trucks. 

He legit has a fucking sister, who is normal. I’ll just say she left the family behind for better things. I mean, this family did suck. Her brother is a criminal who often is in jail. Her daddy is a prick drunk who don’t speak much. And mama is happy for visits but please fuck off she’s got her own shit she wanna do in life.

Thaddeus got his Walkers Auto Barn. Which he just turned his barn into his little auto shop. And then later on he also gets The Sugar Shack which is his gay bar he runs with Dante.

Hello Dante!

@toprotectandscrve , @goodolaesblog

Thaddeus and Dante had a yearly trip, where they spent two weeks in Los Angeles California. Two country boys from the deep south had never dreamed of what it might be like to be openly free and happy, fully and truly able to be their best selves. The selves they can never be at home. But it was home, as much fun as it was to frolick and play in sunny California, it would be here, when they grow old and have time to settle down. 

But they had landed two days ago, and were set up living with their lustious gay friend Raymond. Whom was a professional drag host at a gay bar, and who had made a killing doing social media. Something Dante was more into than Thaddeus, but Thaddeus did have his apps he enjoyed on his phone. 

The dogs were being babysat by Dante’s mama, though it was said in a text that she did chain hunter up in the backyard. Thaddeus and Dante both knew that might be the case. Thaddeus was smoking on the balcony shirt open, and in a pair of pink golf shorts. Lounging on a padded lounge chair that sported some lovely white floral design. A cigar in his mouth and a pair on sunglasses on his face. 

Dante is enjoying the breakfast that Raymond had brought up to the bedroom for them. Raymond was a host, who loved to please, And Thaddeus sold him the best moonshine at a killer price for his bar. But aside from their buisness prospects, Raymond had adored Thaddeus and Dante since they came into his bar. 

It was always so sweet to see anyone new come into his club, but Thaddeus and Dante were hot off the hay truck when they waltzed in. Raymond and several others were drawn to them. They were and are, handsome very strong men. How could the thirst be contained? It was a beautiful blossom of a relationship. And Raymond had made it a goal to have them in his life. Perhaps because he knows when they leave, they will not be surrounded by kindness, or anyone who may even want them around at times. But every year they come back, and the hugs just get longer and the memories get sweeter. It would be their fourth year in a row now they have come to California for their anniversary. And that to Raymond was like being asked to throw a birthday party for the queen. He just wants to show the boys off, and give them all the tips of where they could have fun. 

“Your gonna hate me.”

Raymond says with a smile, and bats his lashes at Dante , bringing a teacup to his glossed lips. But Dante just smiles and feels his posture straighten, his shoulders giving a small slow shimmie. 

“You know that isn’t true, what did you do?”

Dante grins and can see from the corner of his eye the lazy hand that brings a cigar to a face he cant see. 

“Weelllll, tonight this palace of mine, is going to be lit. Think after party of the globes.”

“The only globes he watches is mine when I work out!”  Pipes up Thaddeus form the balcony, clearly ear hustling. Dante makes an unamused face, but then gives a shrug, because it was true. 

“He’s got a point, doll, I’m afraid I don’t know what that means.”

“It just means everyone’s gonna be very fancy and I have caterers and decorators coming in an hour. Thaddeus you will be separated for your love for a long time today....Mainly because I’m kidnapping you both separately so you can both surprise one another with your looks for this evening!”

Thaddeus is up from the chair, and comes to lean in the doorway, giving a small pout around his cigar. 

“Waaat? Whhyyy?”

“Because sweetie, you are going to go shopping with Danni and Sami and Dante is coming with me, because..Secrets.”

Raymond drapes an elegant arm around Dante’s much more larger shoulders. Raymond was smaller than Thaddeus but was a bigger personality than half of Los Angeles combined. Dante feels his cheeks get hot as Raymond just lays his head on his shoulder and he feels those slender fingernails tease at his skin. 

Thaddeus still pouts, but raises a hand up to take the cigar from his mouth. 

“..You promise tonight will make up for me not bein with him today?”

Raymond sits up and nods his head at the other, then crosses his heart. 

“Oh I think you’re gonna love what I hvae planned, and by the time the party is over we will be watching the sunrise. So oh yes honey, I’m positive it’s gonna be made up for.” Raymond smirks. 

“Don’t you worry, I know what you both need. Daddy knows what his babies need.” Raymond purrs and runs a hand though his bleached white hair. His contrasting black brow quirking up in a playful sass. 

“Just trust me babies.”

Thaddeus and Dante both share a glance, slightly worried, but they do trust Raymond. 

“Alright...We are but putty in your skilled hands.”
