"Do you know how to peel shrimp dear?"

Dave nods, soft smile on his face.

"Yes ma'am"

Anong smiles and hands Dave a small bowl full of fried shrimp.

"Niran likes shrimp....well, that time he used to like it, I don't know about now"

Dave really felt for this woman. To have her son suddenly run away without knowing what caused it must had been a stressful chapter in her life.

"He still likes it....we had shrimp a few weeks back"

Anong was happy when she heard that, this man must be really taking care of her son. Sure it was surprising to find out her son liked men but she could see the happiness in her son's eyes, and that's what she wanted at the end of the day. A happy child.

"I'm glad to hear that. So tell me, how long have you two been together?"

Dave's mind took him back to that Tommy Hilfiger store, Victoria's office party, the Paris fashion show. It really felt like they had been together for years!

"It'll be three months next week"

"Wow and you're already engaged? You two have a special bond"

Before Dave could respond, Jack walks in the kitchen with a cooler full of fish.

"Look what I caught!" He says with excitement. Dave gasped when he looked inside.

"You caught all of this?"

"Of course he did! He is the best fisher in the street and he didn't lose his touch" Anong praises her son.

Jack's smile beamed from ear to ear.

"I'll go prepare these, then we'll grill them for lunch"

"Alright dear. Take Dave with you, I'm sure he'll love to see the lake"

Dave wipes his hands and follows Jack out. He could hear the soft waves of the lake as frogs jumped in and out of the water.

Jack sets the cooler down on a wooden table and starts gutting the fish.

"Best fisher in the street?" Dave teases and Jack blushes.

"During the weekends when my father didn't hit me, my mom took me a shop to get fishing lines. At first I wasn't good but I kept practicing and got good at it."

Dave nods and faces the lake.

"Have you ever swam in there?" He asks and Jack shook his head.

"I was told tadpoles swam up your urethra and ate you inside out"

"What the...who told you that?" Dave asks as he laughed. Jack shrugged.

"People in the street. Maybe they were afraid we'd contaminate the water"

"Fair point. Let's swim in there tonight"

Jack chuckles.

"I know what you're thinking but no, we have a pool at the hotel for that"

Dave sighed.

"You're no fun"

Jack looked at him.

"I am? Is this fun?" He asks and sprays Dave with some water. The man gasped and stood up.

"This is versace"

"Oh? Is it expensive?" Jack teases and sprays him over and over again.

Drenched and feeling cold, Dave runs around the backyard, Jack chasing after him with the spray bottle. Dave grabs the hose and waters Jack like a rose bush.

"Boys! Stop playing with water!" Anong yelled, standing by the door.

Jack and Dave felt like they were little kids again. Jack raised his hands and sets the bottle down. Dave smirks and splashes the man on the crotch before running inside.

"Get back here!" Jack yells before running after him.

Inside the house, Anong watches as the two chased each other. She shakes her head, small smile on her face.

"Take a shower before you catch a cold!"

•°• ✾ •°•

Jack turns on the water, feeling warm as steam filled the room. He almost jumped when he felt a pair of hands go up his back.

Dave could feel the bumps of Jack's scars on his palm. He hugs him tightly.

"How are you holding up?" He asks and Jack turns to him, pushing his wet hair back.

"I'm doing okay. But if I feel overwhelmed, I'll tell you"

Dave nods and his hands go up Jack's chest to his face. He leans forward and their lips meet for a kiss, Dave arches his back as he was held against the wet wall, Jack's lips now on his neck.

Jack pulls away from the kiss and smiles at him, pushing his hair back once again.

"Do you think she'll hear us?" He asks and Dave chuckles.

"You can cover my mouth"

Jack picks him up and Dave wraps his legs around the man's waist. They kiss again and Jack slowly lowers him down, entering Dave's body.

Before he could moan, Jack covered his mouth, followed by the rough thrusts that he made Dave's legs quiver,  eyes widening as his muffled moans were camouflaged by the shower head.

"Relax baby, breathe" Jack whispers as he goes faster, Dave's moans were now louder than the running water and Jack knew there was no point of hiding it, he uncovers the man's mouth and holds him by the neck.

"Hhnnngh" Dave whimpers as he feels his throat slightly close from Jack's tight grip, the pain shot from his back to his crotch, releasing two loads of cum onto the shower floor.

Jack kisses him once more and the thrusts got faster, Dave threw his head back, crying out as he feels Jack's essence fill him up.

"She definitely heard us" Jack whispers, Dave is dropped to his feet and he looks up at Jack.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed baby, it's normal for couples to have sex. Plus, did you not enjoy yourself?" He asks and his hand finds Jack's now limp member.

Jack closes his eyes and moans softly, forehead on Dave's.

"We should probably stop. One round was enough for the afternoon" Jack teases and Dave sighed.

"When we get to that hotel, we're going two rounds."

•°• ✾ •°•

After showering, the two head to the living room to find Anong setting the table. Dave quickly helps her.

"Let me help you with that" he says and for some reason, Anong refused. Dave looked at Jack who shrugged.

"Do you think she's mad at us for earlier?" Dave asks and Jack shook his head.

"I don't know...let me go ask her"

Dave watches him head to the kitchen and he sighs, looking around. When he looked out the front door his heart skipped a beat. There was a second car.

"Jack" he called out and headed to the kitchen only to find Jack and an older man in an intense stare off. The hate in the man's eyes was so unsettling. Dave held Jack by the hand and pulled him away from the kitchen.

"Is that him?" He asks and Jack nodded then sighed. He never knew how he'd react if he were to see his father again and now that he met the man, Jack couldn't help but feel angry.

His childhood was taken away from him by that man, the self hate he had experienced because of this was something unexplainable, the hate he had for his parents was abnormal and yet the man moved on like nothing happened.

Anong's voice brings him back to reality.

"Lunch is served!"
