BRANCE + RINNEY

Griffin gulped down the remainder of his orange juice, a large smile on his face. Vance watched his little brother with a content smile. He was glad that he was enjoying his food. Griffin glanced at him, shoving a forkful of pancake into his mouth.

"Are you doing anything today?"

Vance shook his head, placing a piece of pancake into his mouth. He swallowed the food, cocking an eyebrow up at Griffin.

"I don't have anything planned. Why? You want to do something?"

Griffin shrugged his shoulders. He had a couple of ideas but nothing he was really stuck on. Vance motioned for him to finish his food, to which Griffin complied.

After the boys had eaten, and Vance had done the dishes, they chose to put on a movie. Vance let Griffin choose, which might not have been the best idea.

"Remind me again why we're watching My Little Pony?"

Griffin gasped, clutching his heart sarcastically.

"Because it's the best Vance!"

Vance rolled his eyes, jokingly pushing his brother. Griffin laughed and pushed him back. Before Vance could make another move, the door to their house was knocked on. Griffin stood from the couch, running to the front door to open it. Vance cursed underneath his breath, running as well before his brother could answer the door alone.

"Griffin, back up. You can't just open up the door like that."

Griffin gave Vance a small smile, muttering out a 'sorry' before backing up for him. Vance ruffled his hair and took a look through the door's peephole.

"Who is it?"
"Bruce."

Vance smiled, backing up from the peephole and opening up the door. Griffin smiled as well when Bruce came into view.

"Hey Vance! Hi Griff!"

Griffin gave a small wave, Vance turned slightly so Bruce could come in. The weather outside was slightly chilly due to the small amount of sunlight that had been shown that day, so it wasn't surprising that Bruce was shivering. Griffin grabbed hold of his hand, moving him towards the fireplace in their living room. Bruce grinned, sitting in front of it automatically. His shoulders slumped in satisfaction, his face turning slightly red from the heat.

"Thanks Griff. So what are you guys up to?"
"No problem! We were just watching 'My Little Pony'."

Bruce have a caring smile towards the younger boy.

"Is it okay for me to hangout with you guys today? I don't want to intrude but my parents are out and I was bored."

Vance, who was now next to Griffin, shrugged his shoulders with a smile. Griffin sat next to Bruce, hugging him for extra warmth. Bruce took that as a yes.

It was now 5 in the afternoon and Bruce and Griffin were baking. Griffin had said he wanted muffins and Bruce, being Bruce, insisted that they bake some. Vance was in the living room, setting up yet another movie. This time it was 'Peanuts' with Griffin's favorite character, Charlie Brown.

"Bruce, I have a question."

Bruce nodded his head in acknowledgment, signaling Griffin to continue.

"Do you like my brother?"

Bruce stopped what he was doing, setting the mixing spatula down on the side of the large bowl he was using. He turned to Griffin with a large smile.

"Griffin. We've been dating for almost 5 months now. 'Course I like him."

Griffin laughed, lighting swinging his feet from his position on the counter.

"Oh, right."

Bruce shook his head, laughing as well.

When the two boys were done baking, and the muffins had cooled down, Griffin carried several of the muffins in the living room. He handed two to Vance, two to Bruce, then kept the rest for himself. Vance looked at him before shaking his head.

"Don't eat all of those right now. Save some for later."

Griffin rolled his eyes but nodded his head in understanding. Vance smiled, clicking play on the TV. Griffin grinned, singing the theme song quite loudly. Bruce smiled over at him, then at Vance. Making sure Griffin wasn't looking at them, he took this time to give his boyfriend a quick kiss. Vance blushed, smiling at Bruce.

"Ew. Not during 'Peanuts' guys, come on."

Vance and Bruce both laughed, now centering their attention towards the movie and eating their muffins.
———-

After the movie had finished, and muffins were eaten, Vance turned towards Griffin. He was asleep. He had muffin crumbs on the corners of his mouth, which was turned upwards showing a soft smile. Vance picked him up slowly, making sure not to wake him, and carried him to his room. Bruce followed the two boys, helping to tuck in the younger one. Both boys kissed Griffin's forehead, Bruce leaving an extra muffin on his bedside table.

————

The remainder of that day was filled with movies and play-fighting between Vance and Bruce. Maybe a kiss or two as well.

Bruce made a mental note to come over more, not just for Vance, but for Griffin too.
