Could it be love!

All the boys talk!

Nico and Torrin walk back in and Torrin runs over. Torrin sits on his lap and hugs Mack. Mack holds him and Kaden lays his head on his shoulder. Nico gives Mack a kiss and starts making lunch. He knows this man is going to be in their family forever.

Nico is making lunch and Kaden notices that Mack is making a face. He makes Torrin move over, and he talk to him. 

(K) Is everything ok? 

(M) Yes.

(T) Are you sure?

Nico hears this and he walks over. 

(N) What is going on?

(K) Mack made a face and I just wanted to make sure he is ok. 

(N) Thank you for sharing that with me. I made us a frozen pizza. Can you take it out and cut it. I also made some protein pudding for Mack. I know his stomach is a little upset still. Torrin, can you help Kaden?

(T) Yes.

(N) Thank you. 

Kaden and Torrin get up and Nico goes to the guest room. He grabs some medicine and brings it back. He crushes it down and he helps Mack over to the table. He puts some of the pudding in a small bowl and pours the medicine in there. Mack thanks him and mixes it up. Kaden and Torrin watch. They are both scared it tastes gross. Mack takes it and he eats a half of slice of pizza. The other boys eat and they all finish and go and sit back on the couch. Mack is starting to get tired. They let Mack lay on the long end and Nico helps lean back and covers him up. Torrin slides in front of him and puts his arm over him. Mack smiles and kisses him on the cheek. The other two stare and smile. They start a movie, and they hear snoring after a few minutes. Mack is asleep. Torrin is right behind him, and Kaden and Nico turn the tv off. They will talk. 

(K) Can I help him shower tonight?

(N) I will ask. 

(K) Is he not comfortable around me?

(N) I don't think that is it. 

(K) Can you tell me? Is he small? Is he embarrassed?

(N) He is not that small. He is not as big as me but he is bigger than you. 

(K) Is he embarrassed and excuse me we all can't be King Kong. 

(N) I am not that big.

(K) You are huge. Torrin thinks you have a third arm down there. 

(N) Shut up. 

(K) I am just teasing you. I love you. 

(N) Do you know how you have always had someone that loves and protects you?

(K) Yes.

(N) His parents did not protect him when he was younger, and someone hurt him. So, it makes him nervous being around people without clothes on. 

(K) I don't understand. They let someone beat him?

(N) No baby, they let someone touch him inappropriately. So, he is scared to see either one of you without clothes on. He was scared to see me without clothes on. They way I understand it is that when he was growing up his father did the same thing to some younger girls. Most of his family treated him like he was going to be like his father. Then when he told his secret they changed their minds and tried to fix their relationship, but it was too late for that. So, his childhood was not the best and he is afraid everyone is going to think the same thing.

(K) Why did they treat him like that?

(N) Baby, I do not know. I am going to try and find out. 

(K) I know he would never hurt me. Torrin does too.
