CHAPTER 24

“Again!” Cody said. His son pouted as his father was about to close the storybook, kneeling next to him.

“Son.” Benjamin squinted his eyes in false anger. “You look pretty tired to me.”

“I’m not tired.” Cody said, although he couldn’t hide his yawn. Jake stood at the doorway watching him. The small child was in his bed, tucked into his Spider-Man bed sheets. The room was a virtual shrine to superheroes with posters and action figures all around the place. There was a toy box in one corner filled to the brim with more toys. Even the kid's pajamas had superheroes dotted all over them. He wondered if Cody thought of Benjamin like a superhero. Iron Man had a robotic suit and it wasn't a far cry from Benjamin's leg. Benjamin shot Jake a wink and his heart warmed. He wished he and his own father had the closeness that Benjamin had with his son. Nothing was sexier to him than seeing a good father and it was so apparent how much Cody meant to Benjamin.

“Alright, just one more time ... My two turtles going down the street, going down to the ice cream shop getting something to eat.”

Jake stifled a giggle for he never thought he would hear such a butch man like Benjamin speak like that, but it showed him another layer of the man, and it only made him more attractive. The child’s night-light glowed, making the already handsome man even more endearing.

Before he could get another word out, the boy’s heavy eyes won out. Benjamin rose, giving his son a quick soft kiss on the top of his head before stepping toward Jake.

The two men backed into the hallway and Benjamin shut the door lightly.

“You’re good at that,” Jake said as they stepped down the hall, walking side-by-side.

“At what?” Benjamin asked.

“The whole daddy thing,” Jake said.

“Thanks. It’s hard not having him around as often as I want.”

“I bet. You’re a lucky man though. I’ve always wanted a family.”

“You mean you don’t like being a swinging bachelor?” Benjamin teased.

“Not particularly. I had my fun when I was 17 armed with my fake ID. I guess I burnt out on all of that pretty early. Didn’t have the easiest life. I had to grow up fast. Move out where I could be myself without the pressures of conforming to who my parents wanted me to be.”

“How so?” Benjamin asked as they stepped out onto the back balcony.

Jake sighed as the memories of his childhood flooding him. Where could he begin? He felt like an outcast, always feeling like he couldn’t relate to anyone, especially his father. Jake looked out at the scenery around him. The world stretched out far ahead. There was a time when he thought about exploring it all, but it was too big, too much to see. It wasn't a world for him anyway. The only world he needed was with Benjamin.

“What was Dad like? To grow up with, I mean?” Benjamin asked.

“Distant. It was almost as if I didn’t have a father sometimes, Benjamin.
