4: Murray Strikes Again

Jonathan fidgeted with the hem of his shirt on the couch. Joyce was getting started on dinner.

"Hey mom, can Argyle come over for dinner? I want him to formally meet everyone, y'know."

Joyce smiled as she retrieved her cutting board from the cabinet.

"Of course! Just know, Murray is coming over for dinner tonight too."

"That's fine."

Jonathan couldn't help but think back to the first time he met Murray, long story short he got with Nancy. God, he hoped Murray wouldn't do his thing again. Sure, he and Argyle were dating and it wouldn't be unheard of for them to have sex but it was still early in their relationship. Granted, he and Nancy had sex before they were in a relationship. Nonetheless, It'd be pretty awkward in the moment.

He called Argyle up and invited him to dinner, and Argyle happily accepted. Now, all Jonathan could do was wait anxiously.

Murray arrived first as he was already on his way by the time Jonathan called Argyle. He said hello to Joyce and made a beeline for Jonathan.

"I hear you have a new little boy toy, is this true, Jonathan?" Murray leaned down and spoke like Jonathan was a kindergartner. Jonathan placed his hand over his eyes and groaned. News really did travel fast in this family.

"Yes, It's true. His name is Argyle and you better not do any of your weird sex therapist stuff, please." Murray put his hand on his chest in mock offense.

"First of all, you're a lot meaner when you aren't high out of your mind! Second of all, I'll try not to get you laid again, God forbid." Murray laughed and joined Joyce in the kitchen. Jonathan rolled his eyes and sighed.

He suddenly heard a knock at the door and sprinted to get there before Murray. 

He did not succeed.

Murray stood in the doorway facing a smiling Argyle.

"Jonathan, your little friend is here! He's tall, looks decently strong, has beautiful hair, a very nice choice!" Murray laughed as Jonathan pushed him gently out of the way, desperate for him to leave.

"Alright, that's enough of that please go talk to my mom or something."

Murray laughed and walked away. Jonathan ushered Argyle inside and guided him to the couch.

"Sorry about Murray, he can be a little forward sometimes." Jonathan laughed nervously.

"Nah it's fine, man! He seems cool." Argyle smiled innocently and Jonathan unintentionally let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, it was time for dinner. They all gathered around the table as Joyce set the plates down. Argyle sat next to Jonathan and so did Murray. Jonathan shot him a quick look of disapproval but let it happen anyway. Murray was the first to speak to Argyle, of course.

"So, Argyle, what do you do?" Murray sat with genuine interest.

"I work at Surfer Boy's Pizza, man! I'm a delivery boy mostly but I cook the pizzas sometimes."

"Oh, you can cook? That's nice, a man after my own heart! Do you have any hobbies?" Jonathan glanced at Murray, all his questions were normal, too normal.

"Well, I'm good at bowling! I like doing crafts, I think karate is cool but I've never tried it." Murray immediately perked up as Argyle said that.

"Karate you say? What a coincidence, I go every Friday from 1 to 3!" Murray turned to Jonathan.

"I like this kid, he's a keeper!" Murray said pointing his fork at Argyle for emphasis. He and Argyle laughed together and Jonathan couldn't help but smile. This was going way better than expected.

Dinner ended and everybody retreated to their rooms except for Jonathan, Argyle and Murray. They were all watching T.V. on the couch.

Murray sat in between them. Argyle on his left, Jonathan on his right.

"So, Argyle, I have just one more question for you..."

"Go ahead and ask it, bro!"

"Have you and Jonathan done it yet because I'm sensing some serious sexual tension-"

Jonathan stood corrected. He nearly flew through the ceiling when he heard that. He quickly clapped his hand over Murray's mouth and laughed nervously.

"Don't listen to him! He's just being weird ol' Murray again, my God please do not answer him." Murray was the one to shoot a look of disapproval this time. Jonathan stared at Argyle who busted out into a fit of giggles.

"It's okay, man! I completely understand, no worries!" Argyle finally relaxed back into the couch as did Jonathan. Jonathan glared at Murray the entire time until he grew tired and finally retreated to his room, like the rest of his family. Argyle following behind him.

Jonathan quickly took off his pants before crawling into bed, he sat waiting for Argyle.

He watched as Argyle took off his shirt, blushing a little at the sight. Argyle walked to the edge of the bed. Jonathan continued staring.

"What's the matter, man? A guy can't sleep shirtless next to his boyfriend?" They both chuckled before Argyle crawled up next to Jonathan. They shifted so that they could cuddle.

Argyle had his stomach pressed against Jonathan's back and his arms around on Jonathan's waist. He rested he head in the crook of Jonathan's neck , Jonathan giggled in response.

"Are you ticklish, bro?" Argyle smiled against Jonathan's neck. Jonathan could feel the warmth in his face.

"Maybe...a little bit. I guess I just have a sensitive neck." Argyle hummed in response to signify he understood. Jonathan could tell he was tired.

"Good night, Argyle...I love you." Jonathan said in a near whisper.

Argyle placed small kisses on the nape of Jonathan's neck which sent a surge through Jonathan's body, he wouldn't address that right now though.

"I love you too, man. Good night." Argyle adjusted so that their bodies were as close as possible.

Jonathan felt Argyle's warm breath on the back of his neck. It was comforting but also distracting. He tried to sleep but he couldn't. He kept replaying what Murray said over and over in his head.

Sexual Tension.

Jonathan tried to push the thoughts out of his head but the fact that the man he was thinking about was pressed right up against him did not help. He buried his face in his pillow and finally drifted off.
-
He woke with a bit of a start, he had only slept for a couple of hours. He'd dreamt of Argyle, the things Argyle could do to him, the things he could do for Argyle. It was an endless string of thoughts that he didn't want to deal with. Jonathan scooted slightly away from Argyle, just so his mind could rest. Lord knows, by morning he'll be pressed back up against him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to do these things with Argyle, heck, he literally just dreamt about it. There was just something different about him that made Jonathan want to wait a little longer, at least for now.

He finally pushed the thoughts out of his mind, drifting off again. This time he didn't wake until the morning.

A/N: 1. Sorry for not updating I was on vacation!
2.If it wasn't clear this takes place on the same day as the mall trip 🏃WOOO MURRAY GETS JONATHAN LAID AGAIN...sorta, it was gonna happen anyway though🤭
3. I'd also like to apologize for the sort of muddled canon/non-canon timeline I'm really just going with the flow here 💀
4. I am a firm believer that Argyle sleeps with no shirt and Jonathan sleeps with no pants so they complete each other 🎈
