The Boy Wonder

Dean hummed and let Randy finish undressing him and smiled softly as the other spoke about landing him. Once they were in the spa, he relaxed completely against the other man for a few moments before moving to kiss his jaw. When Randy spoke he smiled again. “Of course I do.” He hummed. “I love and care about you..It’s not the same when you aren’t here...”

Dean smiled at Randy’s laugh, relief spreading through him like warm honey. So Randy wasn’t mad. Good. Dean frowned a bit as they started moving them and sighing softly as they reached the bathroom. “Yeah, I should probably shower.” He mumbled as Randy removed his clothing. He smiled softly, watching the man. “What did I do to deserve you.” He said, paused Randy to kiss him on the lips softly. 

“Yeah, something quiet for a change, ” she replied. Something a little more intimate. “What made you think that?” A slight frown as she stepped aside to give him room to come inside. “I just want to spend time with you, Dean.”

“No reason I guess.” He said and shrugged. “I just guess I thought this whole dating thing wasn’t as serious. But I was wrong.” He said and shrugged, looking at her and smiled. “A quiet night in sounds great.” 

“Well where’s the fun in that?” Brooke smirked back at him. “Oh is it?”

“Yep, pretty on brand.” He confirmed and chuckled. He liked spending time with Brooke. it was going to make leaving harder than usual for him. “Oh it’s lots of fun. It’s a break from your normal life and you’re gone before you form attachments.” He said.

“Okay that does sound pretty fun and kind of sad too.” She tucked a few stray strands of her dark hair behind her ear as the waitress returned with their food.

“Sad?” He asked and looked at her. “Nah, it’s not sad.” He said and smiled. “You should try it sometime.” 

“ Oh? Like knitting? Birdwatching? ” Nadie shook her head, “ I am stupid. Tell me what you mean. And buy another drink in the meantime. ”

Dean smirked at her and ordered them both another drink before he chuckled softly. “Those are solid hobbies but I was talking about sex.” He said plainly. 

“ Oh gee.. ” She put on her best naive voice. “ I do believe that tends to need a partner. ” When the drink arrived, Nadie took a nice long drink.

“Yeah that’s what I mean.” He smirked at her and took a drink of his own. “You aren’t opposed to partners are you?” He asked and watched her.

Leaving for work was never easy; the got so little time together as it was and having to live away from Dean for more than two nights at a time always put him on edge. It was more frustration than anything else. Other people’s stupidity would set him off or he would get too physical during a match, things that people already associated with him so it wasn’t like his mood drop was noticed by anyone but himself. But he was coming home today to his beautiful baby boy and was already beyond excited to see him. Randy had purchased some shirts and sweats for him while he was out, lounge stuff mostly but some of the shirts were for nicer occasions so he could show his man off to the world. He’d also bought a new watch and a cologne he thought would mesh well with the male’s natural scent; all things just to show the other he’d been thinking about Dean in their time apart. With bags in tow, he opened the front door and called out. “Baby boy.. I got you some things.” he closed the door behind him and that’s when he saw the mess. His first thought was someone broke in and made a mess searching for things; he immediately tensed up and set the bags down, walking through the house. “Dean..” 

Dean appeared almost immediately as Randy called for him, his bottom lip tucked between his teeth. “I’m so sorry. I don’t even know how it got like this. Please don’t be upset.” The man said and walked toward the other. He was a bit disheveled in clothes that were dirty. He needed a shower. “I missed you.” He said softly and smiled softly, moving to give him a hug. “You said you had things for me?” He asked, attempting to change the subject. 

“ Oh? Like knitting? Birdwatching? ” Nadie shook her head, “ I am stupid. Tell me what you mean. And buy another drink in the meantime. ”

Dean smirked at her and ordered them both another drink before he chuckled softly. “Those are solid hobbies but I was talking about sex.” He said plainly. 

“Do I want to meet your brother?” He asked and chuckled. “You know..other kinds of distraction are good too, even if I am all for the liquid kind.” He said and smirked. 

“ Oh no. Not at all. My brother wouldn’t want to meet you either, ” Nadie paused a second, raising an eyebrow, “ Do I want to know what you are implying? ”

“All i’m saying is that there are other ways to distract yourself.” He said and drained his glass of whiskey. “Do with that what you will.” 

“Well where’s the fun in that?” Brooke smirked back at him. “Oh is it?”

“Yep, pretty on brand.” He confirmed and chuckled. He liked spending time with Brooke. it was going to make leaving harder than usual for him. “Oh it’s lots of fun. It’s a break from your normal life and you’re gone before you form attachments.” He said.

“Her name was Vivienne. She was strong and brave and fierce and caring and loving and kind and literally every positive adjective in the entire world. She was in a car accident when Maggie was two. We were still together. We had plans. We were going to get married.” He said and looked at her. “A drunk driver hit her and killed her instantly. And just like that, everything I had hoped and planned for was over.” 

“I’ll just look at whatever they have.” He said and looked over at her. “Besides, I don’t have to go home with one today right?” He asked and looked at her. 

He smiled and grabbed his bag. “You mean you don’t like the airport?” He asked and chuckled. “You want to come back to the house with me? maybe order pizza and watch a movie or something? I need to shower.” 

“Do I want to meet your brother?” He asked and chuckled. “You know..other kinds of distraction are good too, even if I am all for the liquid kind.” He said and smirked. 

Brooke blushed and shrugged her shoulders. “What can I say? They make good burgers.” She smiled at the familar waitress who approached them and said hello before giving her order.

Dean smiled at her and ordered a burger and whatever pie they had in the case before looking back at Brooke. “You’d better be right.” He chuckled.

“Hey I would never lie about good food.” She giggled softly at him. “So you never did tell me how long you’re in town for.”

“Just a few days. Just enough to stir up trouble and then leave.” He smirked at her. “I guess that’s about right for me.”
