"Are there any medical conditions that we should know about?" Chris starts. "Like high blood pressure or anything thing else like that? Any kind of medication that is needed?"

"I have high-blood pressure that I take medication for." Rob answers.

"I have some medicated eye-drops that I have to use. My eyes dry out pretty bad if I don't use them." Tim says as he reaches for another slice of pizza.

"What about you guys?" Chris asks, turning his attention to Austin and Chance.

"Nope, no problems here." Austin answers and Chance agrees.

"Do any of you work or get Government assistance?" Chris asks.

"Betty helped us all get Disability. So each of us gets a check. She opened each of us a checking account and our checks go directly to the bank. We tried helping her with the bills and stuff but she wouldn't take any money." Tim says.

"Why do ask? Do you need us to help?" Austin asks.

"Oh, no." Adam smiles, shaking his head. "Grandma had set aside a pretty big bundle to take care of this place completely. Utilities, house repairs and even groceries."

"Also it takes care of doctor bills and any kind of medication." Chris adds. "Now, for the dos and don'ts. What are we suppose to do or not supposed to do."

"Don't rearrange the furniture." Tim chuckles.

"That's a definite no-no." Rob laughs. "Tim's shins were bruised for a week."

"Always talk so I can see you especially if you want me to answer." Austin smiles.

"Don't leave shoes laying out for me to trip over." Tim says as he takes a drink of a beer.

"Understandable." Adam nods.

"Learn sign language." Chance chuckles.

"What did he say?" Chris asks.

"He said to learn sign language." Austin smiles.

"That is a definite must." Chris laughs.

Chance smiles and gives a thumbs up.

"And don't take the "Hearing Impaired" setting off the television." Austin says.

"Grandma loved you guys very much. And she made it perfectly clear in her will that you were to be taken care of and would always have a place to live. Now it's mine and Adam's job to take up where she left off." Chris says.

"Absolutely." Adam says with a nod. "And if any of you ever need someone to talk to, we're here for you."

"So. What do you guys do for fun?" Chris asks with a smile.

"Well, some likes to watch movies, they play pool, I like to read, we go swimming, we play cards." Tim says with a shrug.

"How do you play cards?" Adam asks.

"Betty managed to find a deck of playing cards that also have the suits and numbers in Braille." Tim answers with a smile.

"That's awesome. We'll all have to play sometime." Adam smiles.

"Strip poker?" Tim asks softly with a chuckle.

"What? NO!" Adam laughs, hitting Tim on the leg. "Where are you going?" Adam asks as Tim begins to stand from his chair.

"Bathroom." Tim answers.

"Need any help?" Adam asks politely.

Everyone around the table stopped talking.

"Uh, no. I can pee by myself." Tim smirks with a raised brow. "Maybe next time?"

"Nooo, I didn't mean that. Oh, my God." Adam laughs as his cheeks turn red. "I meant finding your way."

"Cutie, I've lived here for ten years, I think I can find it." Tim smiles as he rubs Adam on the back.

As Tim makes his way back to the table, he can hear Austin over at the pool table talking to someone. Presuming it was Chance since they were inseparable. As he nears the table, he hears Chris and Rob chatting, still at the table. He runs his hand along the back of the chair that Adam had been sitting in but finding him gone.

"Where's Adam?" He asks in a quiet voice.

"He went to the bar to get something to drink. Looks like he got interested in something on the t.v. at the bar." Chris answers.

"He's at the end of the bar, Tim. Left-hand side." Rob says.

"Ok, thanks." Tim nods with a smile then makes his way over to the bar.

Holding his hand out to find the bar, he accidentally hits Adam on the back.

"Oh, sorry." Tim apologizes as he sits down on the stool next to him.

"That's alright." Adam smiles at him.

"Uh, come here often?" Tim asks with a smirk on his lips.

"Actually, it's my first time." Adam chuckles.

"Hmm." Tim nods. "I thought I hadn't seen you here before."

Adam giggles and shakes his head.

"So, uh, what's your name, Sugar?" Tim asks as he puts his arm around the back of Adam's chair.

"Adam." Adam says as he tries to keep from laughing.

"Can I buy you a drink?" Tim smiles.

"Sure, I'd love one." Adam answers.

"Uh, you'll have to fix it." Tim chuckles.

"I thought so." Adam laughs as he gets up and goes behind the bar. "You want one while I'm at it?"

"Sure, if you don't mind." Tim smiles. "Beer is fine."

Adam sets down the drinks then returns to his seat. Tim takes a drink of his beer then turns his attention back to the man beside.

"So, Alan." Tim says.

"It's Adam." Adam laughs as he reaches up to wipe the beer foam from Tim's mustache.

"Whatever." Tim smirks.

"You rat." Adam laughs loudly.

By this time, Austin and Chance have re-joined Chris and Rob at the table. They were all secretly watching the couple at the bar.

"So, you want to take this to your place or mine?" Tim asks with a raised brow.

"Man." Adam laughs. "You don't waste no time, do you."

"Life's too short to waste time, Albert." Tim chuckles.

"And what if I don't want to hook up with you, Tom?" Adam asks seductively.

"Oh, but you will." Tim says in a low soft voice. A voice that sent shivers down Adam's spine. "Eventually." He whispers the last part.

Adam lets go of a shaky breath as he stares into those brown eyes.

Tim's blindness has caused his other senses to be extra sensitive. So he didn't miss hearing the shaky breath. He smiles as he leans over to whisper.

"Horny yet?" He smiles.

"No." Adam says with a nervous giggle.

"D*mn, I must be losing my charm." Tim frowns.

"You definitely have the charm, Cowboy." Adam chuckles as he tries to compose himself.

"Can I at least walk you home?" Tim asks.

"It would be my pleasure." Adam answers softly.

"Guys, we're going to call it a night." Tim announces as they get up from the barstools.

"Mhmm." Chris answers as he gives Adam a questionable look.

"Yall behave yourselves." Rob grins.

Chance says something in sign language.

"What did he say?" Adam asks.

"You don't want to know." Austin laughs.

"See yall in the morning." Tim says as he and Adam get on the elevator.

"What did he say?" Chris asks.

"Wear a condom." Austin chuckles.

Once in the elevator, Tim reaches for Adam's hand. Adam smiles and gently squeezes his hand. Neither one had said a word.

The elevator door opens and they walk quietly down the hall. 

"This is where I live." Adam giggles as he opens the door.

"Imagine that. We're neighbors." Tim smiles as he steps inside the room. "Nice place."

"The rent is cheap." Adam chuckles.

A silence falls between them. Tim reaches out to find Adam and takes him by the arm. Gently pulling him toward him, wrapping his arms around the blond's waist.

"Can I have a goodnight kiss?" Tim asks softly.

No sooner than he asks, he feels Adam's lips on his. The goodnight kiss quickly progresses into a hot passionate kiss.

Knowing where this was leading if something wasn't done, Tim breaks the kiss. 

"We don't need to rush this." He whispers as he lays his forehead against Adam's.

"You're right. If you hadn't broken the kiss ..." Adam says softly.

"I know." Tim nods. "I .. I guess I need to go to my room."

"Okay, I'll see you in the morning, Ted." Adam giggles as he kisses Tim's cheek.

"Looking forward to it, Aidan." Tim smiles.
