Michael and Luke were over at Reece's home for dinner, his kids were already fast asleep in their beds, leaving the adults to have dinner and talk and relax. Reece's husband was a guy called Awsten, who was a good decade younger than Reece, they'd met young and gotten married young and had kids young. Luke thought it was cute.

"So what do you do?" Reece asked Luke, sitting across from each other at the table, glasses of wines in their hands.

Luke shrugged, "nothing."

"You don't have a job?" Reece questioned.

"Nope." Luke gulped down his wine, "I had a bunch of money saved up and moved here, and met Michael."

"He was a loner till I came along." Michael said, reaching out and holding Luke's hand.

"Hey so were you," Luke retorted, "But Mike has a job as a cashier—I told him he could stop and I could look after him but he didn't like that."

"I'd get bored sitting around the house all day." Mike said, "Luke doesn't do much."

"Do you have a hobby?" Awsten asked Luke, "you gotta enjoy something."

Luke hesitated, "I loved music, gardening too but I can't do much with them." He felt Michael squeeze his hand.

"Music? What kind?" Reece asked. "I don't listen to music much anyway, I have like one CD and it's Duran Duran."

Luke smiled, "That's a good band though, and I like soft acoustic but also kinda heavier things." Luke said, "I—I used to love music more as a kid but I grew out of it. I'm almost thirty now."

"Why'd you grow out of it?" Reece asked.

Luke hesitated and sighed, "I use to be a famous singer but they treated me like shit and made me hate everything so I left." He said, trusting Reece and Awsten, they were a pair of dads who lived in a small town, what harm could they do. "No one knows who I am expect Michael."

Michael tried to gauge their reactions, seeing they didn't really care. "He went through a lot." Michael added, shuffling closer to Luke and kisses his cheek. "Our next goal in life is to have some kids and get married." Michael said making Luke smile and kiss him again.

"Raising kids will give you something to do." Reece said, "Awsten doesn't work now because of the kids."

"I can be a stay at home dad." Luke said. "Yeah, it'll be easy."

"Are you adopting or trying yourselves?" Awsten asked, "because we had our own and it was such work. I wanna adopt next time."

His words made Reece pout, "but I love seeing you with a bump."

Luke watched them bicker about babies and he turned to Michael, "were having babies right now."

Michael looked at him, "okay."

That night after some more wine, they walked home and got to work with baby making.
