"You... you need to sit down there mister" Fitz hiccuped and pushed Frank into the chair by the pool. "Im gonna sing you a song... you... you beautiful man" he slurred and walked backwards to perform for his fiancé. They had been out for a few drinks as it was 2 days before the wedding and they were going to be separated until the big day to make it special. Fitz outstretched his arms started singing in his high soft voice "Were getting married in the morning" he giggled and twirled around.

Frank sat down in the deckchair looking at his fiance who he was due to marry in two days. They had gone out drinking and no doubt it was an underestimation to say they were simply …drunk.

“We ain’t getting married in the mornin’!” Frank almost screamed with his loud voice cracking through the silent night air, like an excited little boy. “Two days! Two days! You’re song is wrong ‘n-” he hiccuped. “Dumb!”

The crooner laughed, folding his arms across his chest as he laid in the deckchair. “Twirl! Twirl!” Frank encouraged and clapped his hands. “Ya beautiful! Do…don’t fall in the pool though!”

[like-a-dame-fitz]

Fitz was still twirling and looking up at the sky feeling so happy that Frank was cheering him on. He stopped and held onto the table to stop himself from falling over because now he was dizzy. “I’m getting married in two days” he frowned “It don’t work Frank” he threw his arms up as his eyes got wide “WE HAVE TO GET MARRIED TOMORROW” he shouted “then the song will work”.

He sneaked to sit on Franks lap and held his face and smushed his cheeks together. “Your so handsome” he smiled brightly and left his face alone “why are we not married yet?” he sulked. “We should… we should… have been married WAY before now” he sighed as he played with the buttons on Franks shirt. 

[francisalberts]

“We don’t get married tomorrow!” Frank said again before the other was sat on his lap, allowing him to smush his cheeks which made his head feel a bit dizzy. “We shoulda been but…buuurt…” Frank slurred, “No one was goin’ let us marry! So I had to marry a girl!” Frank huffed as though it had been the worst thing to ever happen to him. The fact he had to marry a girl, live with a girl, and put up with a girl.

“Quit doin’ that to my face! If - if t’…the wind changes it…it stays that way!” Frank said as he looked towards his fiance who was now seemingly moping. “You only gotta wait two days! I ain’t gettin’ married to you to-” A hiccup. “-morrow! We put too much time into plannin’ the damn thing! And if we elope, we don’t get the goddamn cake!”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz tilted his head as he looked at Frank intently with a soft smile on his lips and then pressed a big kiss to Franks forehead. Fitz’s hair had become fluffy but it only made him look cuter and softer. “We would have gotten in jail” he commented. “You don’t wanna be arrested Frankie, the service is terrible” he lent back in Franks arms to look up at the sky “SHOCKINGLY bad” he put his fingers to his temples and made a buzzing electric sound forgetting that he never told Frank about his electric shock treatment. 

He giggled at Franks joke about his face and then used his fingers to put Franks face back the way it was “its a lovely face” he told him with their noses nearly touching. He gasped and put his hands over his mouth “its midnight” he spoke muffled into his hands and then threw his arms around Frank “ITS PAST MIDNIGHT” he squeaked “so we ARE getting married tomorrow” he hugged Frank tight with a big grin on his face.

"Honeymoon? Men don't fuckin' do that shit."

Fitz was sitting crossed legged on the sofa with travel brochures on his lap. “Yes a honeymoon Frank” he frowned with an amused expression. “I thought you would want us to get away for a while? No one has to know were a couple if that what your worried about” he shrugged as he run his fingers over the pictures of sandy beaches and cocktails. 

“Your gonna tell me that you’ve got shows just after our wedding aren’t you” he sighed and lent back on the arm of the sofa with his head hanging off the edge. “We gotta at least go for a vacation” he said dramatically. “We can take the kids if you want” he suggested with wide excited eyes. 

[francisalberts]

The crooner looked at his lover as he saw him looking through travel brocheures. He knew he wanted to go on vacation - a getaway somewhere with just the two of them, perhaps in an exotic land, hot in climate, relaxing and eating good food. But Frank didn’t get it. Not with another fella - he figured dames would want that, but fellas? Frank just thought they had a pool in the backyard, what else did he need? 

Frank cleared his throat, looking at the younger man as he sat opposite him dressed in his casual suit, his hand on his chest as he watched the other man. “Me? Worried?” He said, gesturing to himself. He shook his head, “Nah, I ain’t worried at all.” Frank hummed. “I jus’ figured we…we didn’t need one.”

Maybe he was losing his touch. He was getting so caught up in the practicality of things he was losing the romance of things. He supposed he had to remember the reasons he liked Fitz…he was a wanderer, and he was like a dame in some ways…and like a dame, he needed to be romanced. 

“No. We ain’t takin’ the kids, they’re a handful ‘n Tina is teething.” He mumbled under his breath, knowing how much the little girl cried. Frank leaned down, tying up his shoe laces. He was going to head out - not that he had told Fitz…or even interacted with him that much nearly all week.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz sighed feeling a little silly for looking at the pictures and gathered them up to place in a pile next to sofa. “I just thought it would be fun, that’s all” he pressed his lips together. He never knew that it would feel awkward to be living in Franks home. It wasn’t his. He had hardly any of his own things and he was still getting used to cleaners and assistants coming and going. 

He loved Frank dearly but he hardly saw him over the last week. None of his friends lived near by and everyone he knew was Franks friends, they were nice to him but they were not there for him. It was lonely. Everything had changed in such a short time, they didn’t even date it was a proposal straight off the bat. 

“I just thought that maybe you would wanna spend time with me” he mumbled and sighed deeply. He bit his lip. He hated confrontation. He grew up with his mother being so forceful and argumentative he didn’t want to become like her. “You going out?” he frowned as he looked down at his shoes being tied. he felt like they were becoming distant from one another. 

He was irritated and restless “I might go out too, I’m sick of being in this house alone” he scratched his hair and looked down. The fact that Frank had not even asked if he wanted to go out made him feel angry and forgotten. “Don’t ya want to be around me anymore?” he asked frowning deeply as he picked at his nail. 

[francisalberts]

Frank looked at his lover as he finished tying his laces, seeing how restless he seemed. He supposed he had not really been there for him. In fact, he had been…sort of all over the place, everywhere and anywhere expect with Fitz. Always coming and going as much as the cleaners and assistants. 

“Be around you?” Frank raised his eyebrow, “Of course I wanna spend time with you…we’re gettin’ married aren’t we? I wanna spend the rest of m’life with you.” Frank told the other simply as he sat up, looking a little confused as his brain tried to scan across what sort of scenarios or situations may have brought this up to begin with. 

“Fitz…don’t go out. I was…I was jus’ gonna go ‘n get some cigarettes.” The crooner admitted gently as he looked at the younger man. “How about…we go out? Me ‘n you? ‘N…we can discuss more about the honeymoon, ‘n…how ya feel, ‘n…how we oughta spend more time together.” Frank suggested slowly, “We could even get some food…talk in a handsome cab…’n you can tell me what kinda places ya wanna have our honeymoon on.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz looked towards his soon to be husband and nodded “of course I wanna marry you, Ive never wanted anything more in my whole life” he spoke with a frown and a mumble. As he listened to Frank he smiled a little. He knew him so well. He felt like he should have just told him, they needed to learn communication. He needed to learn to speak up instead of sitting at home feeling low. 

He smiled as he felt his shoulders relax and butterflies fluttering. “That sounds real nice” he spoke shyly. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be grumpy, I just don’t know” he shrugged “getting out for some food with you sounds great” he swung his legs around off the sofa and faces him. 

“Were we going?” he asked excitedly as he found himself caught in Franks eyes “after can we go to the diner that does the banana splits” he grinned. He loved him so much. It was still crazy to him that Frank would want to marry him, not because he didn’t believe that he loved him but because it was a massive commitment to tell everyone, family, friends and staff. 

[francisalberts]

Frank knew that Fitz was easy to please. Enormously so. In fact, Frank knew so much that he didn’t even need to take the man out for a fancy meal because all he was thinking about was banana splits. Frank laughed a little at it, smiling at his soon to be husband. “Baby, ya can have anythin’ ya want.” He told him with a big grin.

“How about we jus’ eat at that diner? ‘N you eat whatever ya want and talk to me about everything.” Frank hummed as he stood up, going over to the younger man and gently touching his cheek. His thumb gently rubbing over his skin. “How’s that sound? Because you ain’t been ya self…'n I ain’t been around as much as I should have either.”

He paused for a moment. He leaned down close to Fitz so he could speak more quietly to him. “And we can talk better without all the damn staff ‘ere.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

It was true that Fitz was easy to please, he was like a child in many ways, he was always taken in with bold colours, pretty shiny things and anything sweet. Even when he looked after the children when Nancy needed to go out and run some errands he would end up building forts in the living room, joining in with the face painting and making capes for everyone including himself. He had so much energy and lust for life that it made it painfully obvious when he was feeling low or not himself. 

“That sounds real sweet Frankie” he spoke softly as he looked up into his eyes. He wanted to shrug it off, tell him there was nothing to worry about and he was fine but he wasn’t fine and Frank wanted him to talk to him. He nodded with a small nod. 

He placed his hands on Franks shoulders enjoying being close to him “I wanna find out what you been up to, I love hearing about your day” he run his thumb over the fabric of Franks Jacket “I just missed you, the staff are nice but I ain’t used to it, I’ve been cleaning up before the cleaners come because I’m embarrassed” he blushed and giggled.  

[francisalberts]

Frank looked at the man with his bright blue hues. He knew he had been neglecting the man a bit before they were even married. He didn’t want it to be a case of another divorce. With Fitz, he wanted the real deal. Forever until he passed away. Nothing else would do. Which meant he had to take time out for the other, do things he sometimes wouldn’t want to do, and overall, be the best man he could for the man he had loved an entire lifetime.

“You have been huh?” He grinned in amusement at Fitz. He wasn’t surprised. “You been bored, baby?” Frank asked lightly before he pressed a small kiss to the others cheek. Soft and gentle, a silent reminder he still loved him. “Come on, get up. We can talk while we go.” Frank said and leaned away from the other.

“I’ve been doin’ something big! But I can’t tell you what it is.” Frank said excitedly but then stifled himself to being silent. “That’s why I’m always out…‘n then I get home and I’m tired.” Frank shrugged. “Maybe we oughta not have the staff here so much. Then you’d have more to do ‘n…maybe ya can have ya pals over?”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz loved how Frank was listening to him. It made him feel so wanted and like they were a team. He smiled as he got the sweet kisses from him. He was so excited to go out with the man he loved. To go to his favourite diner. He knew they would have to go with at least one of the security team but it was still where he wanted to be.

“Oh I wish you could tell me” he bit his bottom lip as his wife eyes looked over Frank’s face and beifly glanced at his lips wanting to kiss him. “I’m sure it’s gonna be amazing. Everything you touch turns to gold” he blushed and smiled.

“Have my pals over? What from back home? Would that be okay?” He asked as two people popped up in his mind. “Maybe they could come over for a weekend?” He asked excitedly.

He loved when they would just stand there and hold eachother while talking, everyone walking around them. “Sure let’s go get ready” he grinned as he bounced on the balls of his feet.

[francisalberts]

Frank knew he wished it was like before. When they were younger and could go wherever they pleased…alone. He did wish that. He did want that. He always thought about when they were younger, perhaps reminiscing more than ever now that he grew older. The man loved Fitz now, of course he did, but he missed laying in the grass with him and contemplating about the shape of clouds. He missed being a nobody.

But with being a somebody, they had to have someone watching them to ensure Frank was protected. And even if they went out alone, they’d be stared at. Frank missed it all so much, tremendously so.

“Yeah. For a whole weekend.” Frank agreed knowing that it would perk Fitz’s mood up enormously to have someone, friends around him that could make him forget about all his loneliness and so forth.

He got to his feet and was ready to leave already. Going to venture to the diner in his casual slacks. “Let’s go in t'car. I ain’t walkin’.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz loved the memories of them in the fields and spending time at Fitz’s grandmother’s home with his hundreds of hide plants. Fitz on chairs and stools to water them and falling into Frank’s arms and looking at eachother wanting to kiss eachother. Those sweet innocent times.

All those years of longing and thinking about eachother to finally be engaged meant the world to him. He loved every moment he was around Frank, he was his biggest fan. He didn’t think there would ever be a time he would look at Frank and not feel excited or giddy.

“I will call them in the morning, there gonna be aghast! They won’t know what to do with themselves” he giggled thinking about how fun it was going to be. “I just gotta grab my jacket” he pressed a kiss to Frank’s cheek and quickly walked to the bedroom and came back with his jacket and combed his hair in the small mirror by the door.

Soon they were out and getting in the car. The security insisted on driving leaving Fitz and Frank in the back of the car. He held Frank’s hand rested his head against his shoulder. The security were a little confused that Frank was going to a small diner instead of one of the great and expensive restaurants that were available to him. Fitz giggled “you obviously haven’t tried the banana split” he joked sweetly.

[francisalberts]

As soon as they got to the small diner and sat in a booth, Frank was already thinking about a thousand things that were not appropriate due to his reputation. Mostly he was thinking about running away.

“No, I ain’t. Not for a long time anyhow!” And that was what made him even more frustrated. He wanted to go back to the old days. Have a little more freedom. And he decided he would.

“I’m gonna get a coke ‘n a hotdog. Then a milkshake.” Frank decided as his eyes scanned over the menu. “Gee, you remember when we used to come to diners? I miss those days ya know. Hell of a lot.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

It was great that Frank was so successful. He had worked so hard to to get where he was. He wasn’t just a top entertainer but a business man, he knew how to work the bosses and what he needed to do to go further. He was proud of him but he could see how it was grating on him a little. There was never a moment that they were alone. There was always someone there to help or to protect or organise Frank and even in Fitz’s opinion it was all bit too much.

Fitz looked around the diner. He loved them, the all night havens with unlimited coffee and sweet treats that would make the doctor faint. Good honest people come to sit on there booths and chat the night away before or after doing something.

Fitz smiled at Frank’s enthusiasm to get what he wanted and not what he should get. “That sounds good, I think I’m gonna go for… The hotdog with the pickles and slaw” he smiled brightly “and an ice-cream float, you remember those? We used to share one with a side of mini waffles” he remembered fondly. “It was a good time, lots of memories to make yet though” he winked at his fiancé.

[francisalberts]

Frank did remember those days. Sharing an ice cream float and getting confused looks towards them if they were not discreet about it enough. He remembered holding Fitz’s thigh beneath the table, and being shook after their first kiss with how wrong it was but how good it felt. “I remember. And you’re right about that, baby.” He hummed in thought.

Frank had a lot of things he wanted to do. And he knew what he wanted to do in the diner too …but he kept shush about it for now. They’d eat first. “You ever get tired of this?” Frank asked, whilst he was drawing on one of the napkins. He was a good artist. Creative in every sense of the word. Painting on canvases in their home when he had the time.

“I mean, bein’ looked after by somebody whenever we go places. Never havin’ a lot of privacy.” He mused. “Sometimes I wish we were jus’ two kids again.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz remembered how they would stare into each others eyes and hold hands under the table. It felt like electricity between them. It was a truly magical time. A time that he was greatful to have had. He always remembered his grandmother fondly, she was ahead of her time and Fitz even suspected her of being gay herself as she would spend most of her time at her best friend’s house and never remarried after the passing of her husband. She always told Fitz to be careful, to bring boys back to the house and not to get caught. Fitz was thinking he would like for everyone to raise a glass for her at their wedding but that was to be bought up another time.

“sure am” he smirked as he placed the menues back in their stand making sure they were straight. The waitress had noticed who Frank was but was very professional. There was not many people in the diner, they had mostly gone unnoticed which was lucky. The milkshakes were bought to their table quickly as Fitz looked on with amazement and a giggle at how big they were. “So tell me Frank, where you wanna go? What do you wanna do! Once the wedding is over we should plan to do some things” he suggested excitedly.

“Well… I ain’t used to it yet… that’s for sure” he shrugged “we don’t need so many staff at the home. “There’s this girl at the house, she’s a cleaner but a smart cookie. You should use her more. She needs the hours and the other boys are lazy” he rolled his eyes. “Plus she always comes to me with the gossip, who’s been saying what” he giggled as he played with the frosting on her glass. “How about you Frankie? You look like your tired of it all” he asked as his foot sat beside Franks.

[francisalberts]

“I am tired of it.” Frank muttered. “I wanna go back to years ago when we did what we wanted ‘n no one was staring at me and no one knew who we were.” The crooner mumbled, stopping his drawing on the napkins to look at Fitz with his bright blue eyes. “I love the…acceptance…we got now…but I wish I could jus’ run away.”

The man admitted to his lover. He seemed to chew on his thumb nail as he was thinking about how life would proceed with the two of them. What they would do. Who they would be. “HM…maybe we’ll have a threesome in the future?” He joked, grinning at the other as though he were trying to provoke him. “I think we oughta organise it for our weddin’ night!”

But he was only joking. He couldn’t fuck anyone else except Fitz when they were together. He was too focused on the other. Poundhing his tight ass and watching the other suck his endowed cock. He remembered when Fitz had first tried to suck his cock, how he struggled with the size of Frank’s manhood…now he just took it all and man did it feel good.

“Nah, I think I’ll jus’ fuck you on our weddin’ night. I’m traditional like that.” He teased, winking at him playfully.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

“There was something beautiful and fun about those secret touches and careful glances” he mumbled as he turned around the napkin to see Frank’s drawing and run his thumb over the ink. “It’s your fault for being so handsome” he took the pen and his own napkin and started to draw hearts. 3 big hearts. In the middle he wrote a word in each heart. Lets. Run. Away. And then passed it back to his soon to be husband with a smirk.

Fitz loved to shake things up. Trouble loved him and he had a while streak that most men could not keep up with especially in the bedroom. To most straight couples their sex life was kinky and Fitz loved it. One of the cleaners had found Fitz tied to the bed with a gag in his mouth while Frank was in the bathroom and to this day she still wouldn’t look at Fitz in the eye.

He playfully smacked Frank’s arm and laughed “yeah like you would actually have a threesome. You won’t let anyone near me and girls can’t do half the things I can” he smirked cheeky and winked at him. Fitz stopped talking as the food was bought to the table. “Oh how romantic. Your a real gentleman” he giggled.

[francisalberts]

Frank read the words in the hearts and knew this was another reason he loved Fitz. He was as spontaneous as he was. He could read him like a book sometimes too, which always helped. Frank nodded, smirking at his lover.

Frank was attracted beyond words to Fitz. He was always thinking about fucking or making love to him. Tying him up to the bed. Sometimes tackling him unexpectedly and pounding his ass against a wall…or against the fridge in their kitchen. Rarely, Frank would let Fitz be in charge and be a bottom. But Frank loved being the one in control.

The crooner thanked the waitress and looked down at his food. "Yeah? Well no guy is gonna do half the things I do to you.” Frank mused as he took a bite of his hot dog, looking at Fitz with a twinkle in his eye.

“Why don’t you…get the cheque in a minute?” Frank said slowly, indicating that once they ate, they would do a runner. Once the staff member that was acting as security had gone to the toilet, or perhaps just wasn’t focusing on the pair.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

When Frank nodded to him and he couldn't help but smile. He quickly looked towards the door to see how easy it would be to slip out the door unnoticed. He sipped on his drink feeling like a naughty kid. He figured that he would go first and Frank would follow.

The food looked great. He picked at it and then picked it up to take a bite. It was messy and it made him laugh. He grabbed a napkin and cleaned his face. "I haven't been this messy since.. well... Last night" he laughed and blushed and covered his face.

Fitz was full and couldn't eat a bite more. His milkshake was full of sugar and made him hyper. The security guard was looking at a newspaper and Fitz looked to Frank. "I'm gonna go and pay" he told him and wiggled his eyebrows makeing himself laugh. He slipped out and descretely payed for the food and left a nice tip for the waitress who was kind enough not to make a fuss.

He slipped out of the door and waited by the door for Frank. He tightened up his shoelaces as he knew they would have to dash quickly. This was crazy and spontaneous, something he had always wanted in a relationship and would hope it would never change.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

"Why are we even goin' to this place? We could have just had sex, comfortably, at home." (I HAD TO)

Fitz laughed and sighed. To be honest he wasn't utterly sure either other than he loved to see Frank's face when he took him into what used to be his life before he got back together with Frank. They knocked on a big door and waited for an awnser. "It's just fun, we don't have to do anything. You can fuck a girl if you like... Just make sure they are a girl" he giggled and held onto Frank's arm. A man in tight leather trousers awnsered the door looking them up and down and turned to Fitz "Feele omi chicken, you ain't bringing a charpering omi into the cottage" Fitz looked down and smirked knowing every word the man said. Without a beat Fitz awnsered back "Ogle my futuni bold eek, would she bring an orderly daughter? Believe it or not she is so. Bibi if you will. Plates like you won't believe." He shot the man a look. A nod of understanding was had and they let them in.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

"Honeymoon? Men don't fuckin' do that shit."

Fitz was sitting crossed legged on the sofa with travel brochures on his lap. “Yes a honeymoon Frank” he frowned with an amused expression. “I thought you would want us to get away for a while? No one has to know were a couple if that what your worried about” he shrugged as he run his fingers over the pictures of sandy beaches and cocktails.

“How about we jus’ eat at that diner? ‘N you eat whatever ya want and talk to me about everything.” Frank hummed as he stood up, going over to the younger man and gently touching his cheek. His thumb gently rubbing over his skin. “How’s that sound? Because you ain’t been ya self…'n I ain’t been around as much as I should have either.”

He paused for a moment. He leaned down close to Fitz so he could speak more quietly to him. “And we can talk better without all the damn staff ‘ere.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

It was true that Fitz was easy to please, he was like a child in many ways, he was always taken in with bold colours, pretty shiny things and anything sweet. Even when he looked after the children when Nancy needed to go out and run some errands he would end up building forts in the living room, joining in with the face painting and making capes for everyone including himself. He had so much energy and lust for life that it made it painfully obvious when he was feeling low or not himself. 

“That sounds real sweet Frankie” he spoke softly as he looked up into his eyes. He wanted to shrug it off, tell him there was nothing to worry about and he was fine but he wasn’t fine and Frank wanted him to talk to him. He nodded with a small nod. 

He placed his hands on Franks shoulders enjoying being close to him “I wanna find out what you been up to, I love hearing about your day” he run his thumb over the fabric of Franks Jacket “I just missed you, the staff are nice but I ain’t used to it, I’ve been cleaning up before the cleaners come because I’m embarrassed” he blushed and giggled.  

[francisalberts]

Frank looked at the man with his bright blue hues. He knew he had been neglecting the man a bit before they were even married. He didn’t want it to be a case of another divorce. With Fitz, he wanted the real deal. Forever until he passed away. Nothing else would do. Which meant he had to take time out for the other, do things he sometimes wouldn’t want to do, and overall, be the best man he could for the man he had loved an entire lifetime.

“You have been huh?” He grinned in amusement at Fitz. He wasn’t surprised. “You been bored, baby?” Frank asked lightly before he pressed a small kiss to the others cheek. Soft and gentle, a silent reminder he still loved him. “Come on, get up. We can talk while we go.” Frank said and leaned away from the other.

“I’ve been doin’ something big! But I can’t tell you what it is.” Frank said excitedly but then stifled himself to being silent. “That’s why I’m always out…‘n then I get home and I’m tired.” Frank shrugged. “Maybe we oughta not have the staff here so much. Then you’d have more to do ‘n…maybe ya can have ya pals over?”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz loved how Frank was listening to him. It made him feel so wanted and like they were a team. He smiled as he got the sweet kisses from him. He was so excited to go out with the man he loved. To go to his favourite diner. He knew they would have to go with at least one of the security team but it was still where he wanted to be.

“Oh I wish you could tell me” he bit his bottom lip as his wife eyes looked over Frank’s face and beifly glanced at his lips wanting to kiss him. “I’m sure it’s gonna be amazing. Everything you touch turns to gold” he blushed and smiled.

“Have my pals over? What from back home? Would that be okay?” He asked as two people popped up in his mind. “Maybe they could come over for a weekend?” He asked excitedly.

He loved when they would just stand there and hold eachother while talking, everyone walking around them. “Sure let’s go get ready” he grinned as he bounced on the balls of his feet.

[francisalberts]

Frank knew he wished it was like before. When they were younger and could go wherever they pleased…alone. He did wish that. He did want that. He always thought about when they were younger, perhaps reminiscing more than ever now that he grew older. The man loved Fitz now, of course he did, but he missed laying in the grass with him and contemplating about the shape of clouds. He missed being a nobody.

But with being a somebody, they had to have someone watching them to ensure Frank was protected. And even if they went out alone, they’d be stared at. Frank missed it all so much, tremendously so.

“Yeah. For a whole weekend.” Frank agreed knowing that it would perk Fitz’s mood up enormously to have someone, friends around him that could make him forget about all his loneliness and so forth.

He got to his feet and was ready to leave already. Going to venture to the diner in his casual slacks. “Let’s go in t'car. I ain’t walkin’.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz loved the memories of them in the fields and spending time at Fitz’s grandmother’s home with his hundreds of hide plants. Fitz on chairs and stools to water them and falling into Frank’s arms and looking at eachother wanting to kiss eachother. Those sweet innocent times.

All those years of longing and thinking about eachother to finally be engaged meant the world to him. He loved every moment he was around Frank, he was his biggest fan. He didn’t think there would ever be a time he would look at Frank and not feel excited or giddy.

“I will call them in the morning, there gonna be aghast! They won’t know what to do with themselves” he giggled thinking about how fun it was going to be. “I just gotta grab my jacket” he pressed a kiss to Frank’s cheek and quickly walked to the bedroom and came back with his jacket and combed his hair in the small mirror by the door.

Soon they were out and getting in the car. The security insisted on driving leaving Fitz and Frank in the back of the car. He held Frank’s hand rested his head against his shoulder. The security were a little confused that Frank was going to a small diner instead of one of the great and expensive restaurants that were available to him. Fitz giggled “you obviously haven’t tried the banana split” he joked sweetly.

[francisalberts]

As soon as they got to the small diner and sat in a booth, Frank was already thinking about a thousand things that were not appropriate due to his reputation. Mostly he was thinking about running away.

“No, I ain’t. Not for a long time anyhow!” And that was what made him even more frustrated. He wanted to go back to the old days. Have a little more freedom. And he decided he would.

“I’m gonna get a coke ‘n a hotdog. Then a milkshake.” Frank decided as his eyes scanned over the menu. “Gee, you remember when we used to come to diners? I miss those days ya know. Hell of a lot.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

It was great that Frank was so successful. He had worked so hard to to get where he was. He wasn’t just a top entertainer but a business man, he knew how to work the bosses and what he needed to do to go further. He was proud of him but he could see how it was grating on him a little. There was never a moment that they were alone. There was always someone there to help or to protect or organise Frank and even in Fitz’s opinion it was all bit too much.

Fitz looked around the diner. He loved them, the all night havens with unlimited coffee and sweet treats that would make the doctor faint. Good honest people come to sit on there booths and chat the night away before or after doing something.

Fitz smiled at Frank’s enthusiasm to get what he wanted and not what he should get. “That sounds good, I think I’m gonna go for… The hotdog with the pickles and slaw” he smiled brightly “and an ice-cream float, you remember those? We used to share one with a side of mini waffles” he remembered fondly. “It was a good time, lots of memories to make yet though” he winked at his fiancé.

[francisalberts]

Frank did remember those days. Sharing an ice cream float and getting confused looks towards them if they were not discreet about it enough. He remembered holding Fitz’s thigh beneath the table, and being shook after their first kiss with how wrong it was but how good it felt. “I remember. And you’re right about that, baby.” He hummed in thought.

Frank had a lot of things he wanted to do. And he knew what he wanted to do in the diner too …but he kept shush about it for now. They’d eat first. “You ever get tired of this?” Frank asked, whilst he was drawing on one of the napkins. He was a good artist. Creative in every sense of the word. Painting on canvases in their home when he had the time.

“I mean, bein’ looked after by somebody whenever we go places. Never havin’ a lot of privacy.” He mused. “Sometimes I wish we were jus’ two kids again.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz remembered how they would stare into each others eyes and hold hands under the table. It felt like electricity between them. It was a truly magical time. A time that he was greatful to have had. He always remembered his grandmother fondly, she was ahead of her time and Fitz even suspected her of being gay herself as she would spend most of her time at her best friend’s house and never remarried after the passing of her husband. She always told Fitz to be careful, to bring boys back to the house and not to get caught. Fitz was thinking he would like for everyone to raise a glass for her at their wedding but that was to be bought up another time.

“sure am” he smirked as he placed the menues back in their stand making sure they were straight. The waitress had noticed who Frank was but was very professional. There was not many people in the diner, they had mostly gone unnoticed which was lucky. The milkshakes were bought to their table quickly as Fitz looked on with amazement and a giggle at how big they were. “So tell me Frank, where you wanna go? What do you wanna do! Once the wedding is over we should plan to do some things” he suggested excitedly.

“Well… I ain’t used to it yet… that’s for sure” he shrugged “we don’t need so many staff at the home. “There’s this girl at the house, she’s a cleaner but a smart cookie. You should use her more. She needs the hours and the other boys are lazy” he rolled his eyes. “Plus she always comes to me with the gossip, who’s been saying what” he giggled as he played with the frosting on her glass. “How about you Frankie? You look like your tired of it all” he asked as his foot sat beside Franks.

[francisalberts]

"I am tired of it.” Frank muttered. “I wanna go back to years ago when we did what we wanted ‘n no one was staring at me and no one knew who we were.” The crooner mumbled, stopping his drawing on the napkins to look at Fitz with his bright blue eyes. “I love the…acceptance…we got now…but I wish I could jus’ run away.”

The man admitted to his lover. He seemed to chew on his thumb nail as he was thinking about how life would proceed with the two of them. What they would do. Who they would be. “HM…maybe we’ll have a threesome in the future?” He joked, grinning at the other as though he were trying to provoke him. “I think we oughta organise it for our weddin’ night!”

But he was only joking. He couldn’t fuck anyone else except Fitz when they were together. He was too focused on the other. Poundhing his tight ass and watching the other suck his endowed cock. He remembered when Fitz had first tried to suck his cock, how he struggled with the size of Frank’s manhood…now he just took it all and man did it feel good.

“Nah, I think I’ll jus’ fuck you on our weddin’ night. I’m traditional like that.” He teased, winking at him playfully.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

"There was something beautiful and fun about those secret touches and careful glances" he mumbled as he turned around the napkin to see Frank's drawing and run his thumb over the ink. "It's your fault for being so handsome" he took the pen and his own napkin and started to draw hearts. 3 big hearts. In the middle he wrote a word in each heart. Lets. Run. Away. And then passed it back to his soon to be husband with a smirk.

Fitz loved to shake things up. Trouble loved him and he had a while streak that most men could not keep up with especially in the bedroom. To most straight couples their sex life was kinky and Fitz loved it. One of the cleaners had found Fitz tied to the bed with a gag in his mouth while Frank was in the bathroom and to this day she still wouldn't look at Fitz in the eye.

He playfully smacked Frank's arm and laughed "yeah like you would actually have a threesome. You won't let anyone near me and girls can't do half the things I can" he smirked cheeky and winked at him. Fitz stopped talking as the food was bought to the table. "Oh how romantic. Your a real gentleman" he giggled.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

"Honeymoon? Men don't fuckin' do that shit."

Fitz was sitting crossed legged on the sofa with travel brochures on his lap. “Yes a honeymoon Frank” he frowned with an amused expression. “I thought you would want us to get away for a while? No one has to know were a couple if that what your worried about” he shrugged as he run his fingers over the pictures of sandy beaches and cocktails. 

“Your gonna tell me that you’ve got shows just after our wedding aren’t you” he sighed and lent back on the arm of the sofa with his head hanging off the edge. “We gotta at least go for a vacation” he said dramatically. “We can take the kids if you want” he suggested with wide excited eyes. 

[francisalberts]

The crooner looked at his lover as he saw him looking through travel brocheures. He knew he wanted to go on vacation - a getaway somewhere with just the two of them, perhaps in an exotic land, hot in climate, relaxing and eating good food. But Frank didn’t get it. Not with another fella - he figured dames would want that, but fellas? Frank just thought they had a pool in the backyard, what else did he need? 

Frank cleared his throat, looking at the younger man as he sat opposite him dressed in his casual suit, his hand on his chest as he watched the other man. “Me? Worried?” He said, gesturing to himself. He shook his head, “Nah, I ain’t worried at all.” Frank hummed. “I jus’ figured we…we didn’t need one.”

Maybe he was losing his touch. He was getting so caught up in the practicality of things he was losing the romance of things. He supposed he had to remember the reasons he liked Fitz…he was a wanderer, and he was like a dame in some ways…and like a dame, he needed to be romanced. 

“No. We ain’t takin’ the kids, they’re a handful ‘n Tina is teething.” He mumbled under his breath, knowing how much the little girl cried. Frank leaned down, tying up his shoe laces. He was going to head out - not that he had told Fitz…or even interacted with him that much nearly all week.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz sighed feeling a little silly for looking at the pictures and gathered them up to place in a pile next to sofa. “I just thought it would be fun, that’s all” he pressed his lips together. He never knew that it would feel awkward to be living in Franks home. It wasn’t his. He had hardly any of his own things and he was still getting used to cleaners and assistants coming and going. 

He loved Frank dearly but he hardly saw him over the last week. None of his friends lived near by and everyone he knew was Franks friends, they were nice to him but they were not there for him. It was lonely. Everything had changed in such a short time, they didn’t even date it was a proposal straight off the bat. 

“I just thought that maybe you would wanna spend time with me” he mumbled and sighed deeply. He bit his lip. He hated confrontation. He grew up with his mother being so forceful and argumentative he didn’t want to become like her. “You going out?” he frowned as he looked down at his shoes being tied. he felt like they were becoming distant from one another. 

He was irritated and restless “I might go out too, I’m sick of being in this house alone” he scratched his hair and looked down. The fact that Frank had not even asked if he wanted to go out made him feel angry and forgotten. “Don’t ya want to be around me anymore?” he asked frowning deeply as he picked at his nail. 

[francisalberts]

Frank looked at his lover as he finished tying his laces, seeing how restless he seemed. He supposed he had not really been there for him. In fact, he had been…sort of all over the place, everywhere and anywhere expect with Fitz. Always coming and going as much as the cleaners and assistants. 

“Be around you?” Frank raised his eyebrow, “Of course I wanna spend time with you…we’re gettin’ married aren’t we? I wanna spend the rest of m’life with you.” Frank told the other simply as he sat up, looking a little confused as his brain tried to scan across what sort of scenarios or situations may have brought this up to begin with. 

“Fitz…don’t go out. I was…I was jus’ gonna go ‘n get some cigarettes.” The crooner admitted gently as he looked at the younger man. “How about…we go out? Me ‘n you? ‘N…we can discuss more about the honeymoon, ‘n…how ya feel, ‘n…how we oughta spend more time together.” Frank suggested slowly, “We could even get some food…talk in a handsome cab…’n you can tell me what kinda places ya wanna have our honeymoon on.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz looked towards his soon to be husband and nodded “of course I wanna marry you, Ive never wanted anything more in my whole life” he spoke with a frown and a mumble. As he listened to Frank he smiled a little. He knew him so well. He felt like he should have just told him, they needed to learn communication. He needed to learn to speak up instead of sitting at home feeling low. 

He smiled as he felt his shoulders relax and butterflies fluttering. “That sounds real nice” he spoke shyly. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be grumpy, I just don’t know” he shrugged “getting out for some food with you sounds great” he swung his legs around off the sofa and faces him. 

“Were we going?” he asked excitedly as he found himself caught in Franks eyes “after can we go to the diner that does the banana splits” he grinned. He loved him so much. It was still crazy to him that Frank would want to marry him, not because he didn’t believe that he loved him but because it was a massive commitment to tell everyone, family, friends and staff. 

[francisalberts]

Frank knew that Fitz was easy to please. Enormously so. In fact, Frank knew so much that he didn’t even need to take the man out for a fancy meal because all he was thinking about was banana splits. Frank laughed a little at it, smiling at his soon to be husband. “Baby, ya can have anythin’ ya want.” He told him with a big grin.

“Fitz…don’t go out. I was…I was jus’ gonna go ‘n get some cigarettes.” The crooner admitted gently as he looked at the younger man. “How about…we go out? Me ‘n you? ‘N…we can discuss more about the honeymoon, ‘n…how ya feel, ‘n…how we oughta spend more time together.” Frank suggested slowly, “We could even get some food…talk in a handsome cab…’n you can tell me what kinda places ya wanna have our honeymoon on.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz looked towards his soon to be husband and nodded “of course I wanna marry you, Ive never wanted anything more in my whole life” he spoke with a frown and a mumble. As he listened to Frank he smiled a little. He knew him so well. He felt like he should have just told him, they needed to learn communication. He needed to learn to speak up instead of sitting at home feeling low. 

He smiled as he felt his shoulders relax and butterflies fluttering. “That sounds real nice” he spoke shyly. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be grumpy, I just don’t know” he shrugged “getting out for some food with you sounds great” he swung his legs around off the sofa and faces him. 

“Were we going?” he asked excitedly as he found himself caught in Franks eyes “after can we go to the diner that does the banana splits” he grinned. He loved him so much. It was still crazy to him that Frank would want to marry him, not because he didn’t believe that he loved him but because it was a massive commitment to tell everyone, family, friends and staff. 

[francisalberts]

Frank knew that Fitz was easy to please. Enormously so. In fact, Frank knew so much that he didn’t even need to take the man out for a fancy meal because all he was thinking about was banana splits. Frank laughed a little at it, smiling at his soon to be husband. “Baby, ya can have anythin’ ya want.” He told him with a big grin.

“How about we jus’ eat at that diner? ‘N you eat whatever ya want and talk to me about everything.” Frank hummed as he stood up, going over to the younger man and gently touching his cheek. His thumb gently rubbing over his skin. “How’s that sound? Because you ain’t been ya self…'n I ain’t been around as much as I should have either.”

He paused for a moment. He leaned down close to Fitz so he could speak more quietly to him. “And we can talk better without all the damn staff ‘ere.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

It was true that Fitz was easy to please, he was like a child in many ways, he was always taken in with bold colours, pretty shiny things and anything sweet. Even when he looked after the children when Nancy needed to go out and run some errands he would end up building forts in the living room, joining in with the face painting and making capes for everyone including himself. He had so much energy and lust for life that it made it painfully obvious when he was feeling low or not himself. 

“That sounds real sweet Frankie” he spoke softly as he looked up into his eyes. He wanted to shrug it off, tell him there was nothing to worry about and he was fine but he wasn’t fine and Frank wanted him to talk to him. He nodded with a small nod. 

He placed his hands on Franks shoulders enjoying being close to him “I wanna find out what you been up to, I love hearing about your day” he run his thumb over the fabric of Franks Jacket “I just missed you, the staff are nice but I ain’t used to it, I’ve been cleaning up before the cleaners come because I’m embarrassed” he blushed and giggled.  

[francisalberts]

Frank looked at the man with his bright blue hues. He knew he had been neglecting the man a bit before they were even married. He didn’t want it to be a case of another divorce. With Fitz, he wanted the real deal. Forever until he passed away. Nothing else would do. Which meant he had to take time out for the other, do things he sometimes wouldn’t want to do, and overall, be the best man he could for the man he had loved an entire lifetime.

“You have been huh?” He grinned in amusement at Fitz. He wasn’t surprised. “You been bored, baby?” Frank asked lightly before he pressed a small kiss to the others cheek. Soft and gentle, a silent reminder he still loved him. “Come on, get up. We can talk while we go.” Frank said and leaned away from the other.

“I’ve been doin’ something big! But I can’t tell you what it is.” Frank said excitedly but then stifled himself to being silent. “That’s why I’m always out…‘n then I get home and I’m tired.” Frank shrugged. “Maybe we oughta not have the staff here so much. Then you’d have more to do ‘n…maybe ya can have ya pals over?”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz loved how Frank was listening to him. It made him feel so wanted and like they were a team. He smiled as he got the sweet kisses from him. He was so excited to go out with the man he loved. To go to his favourite diner. He knew they would have to go with at least one of the security team but it was still where he wanted to be.

“Oh I wish you could tell me” he bit his bottom lip as his wife eyes looked over Frank’s face and beifly glanced at his lips wanting to kiss him. “I’m sure it’s gonna be amazing. Everything you touch turns to gold” he blushed and smiled.

“Have my pals over? What from back home? Would that be okay?” He asked as two people popped up in his mind. “Maybe they could come over for a weekend?” He asked excitedly.

He loved when they would just stand there and hold eachother while talking, everyone walking around them. “Sure let’s go get ready” he grinned as he bounced on the balls of his feet.

[francisalberts]

Frank knew he wished it was like before. When they were younger and could go wherever they pleased…alone. He did wish that. He did want that. He always thought about when they were younger, perhaps reminiscing more than ever now that he grew older. The man loved Fitz now, of course he did, but he missed laying in the grass with him and contemplating about the shape of clouds. He missed being a nobody.

But with being a somebody, they had to have someone watching them to ensure Frank was protected. And even if they went out alone, they’d be stared at. Frank missed it all so much, tremendously so.

“Yeah. For a whole weekend.” Frank agreed knowing that it would perk Fitz’s mood up enormously to have someone, friends around him that could make him forget about all his loneliness and so forth.

He got to his feet and was ready to leave already. Going to venture to the diner in his casual slacks. “Let’s go in t'car. I ain’t walkin’.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz loved the memories of them in the fields and spending time at Fitz’s grandmother’s home with his hundreds of hide plants. Fitz on chairs and stools to water them and falling into Frank’s arms and looking at eachother wanting to kiss eachother. Those sweet innocent times.

All those years of longing and thinking about eachother to finally be engaged meant the world to him. He loved every moment he was around Frank, he was his biggest fan. He didn’t think there would ever be a time he would look at Frank and not feel excited or giddy.

“I will call them in the morning, there gonna be aghast! They won’t know what to do with themselves” he giggled thinking about how fun it was going to be. “I just gotta grab my jacket” he pressed a kiss to Frank’s cheek and quickly walked to the bedroom and came back with his jacket and combed his hair in the small mirror by the door.

Soon they were out and getting in the car. The security insisted on driving leaving Fitz and Frank in the back of the car. He held Frank’s hand rested his head against his shoulder. The security were a little confused that Frank was going to a small diner instead of one of the great and expensive restaurants that were available to him. Fitz giggled “you obviously haven’t tried the banana split” he joked sweetly.

[francisalberts]

As soon as they got to the small diner and sat in a booth, Frank was already thinking about a thousand things that were not appropriate due to his reputation. Mostly he was thinking about running away.

“No, I ain’t. Not for a long time anyhow!” And that was what made him even more frustrated. He wanted to go back to the old days. Have a little more freedom. And he decided he would.

“I’m gonna get a coke ‘n a hotdog. Then a milkshake.” Frank decided as his eyes scanned over the menu. “Gee, you remember when we used to come to diners? I miss those days ya know. Hell of a lot.”

[promisesandbreakdowns]

It was great that Frank was so successful. He had worked so hard to to get where he was. He wasn't just a top entertainer but a business man, he knew how to work the bosses and what he needed to do to go further. He was proud of him but he could see how it was grating on him a little. There was never a moment that they were alone. There was always someone there to help or to protect or organise Frank and even in Fitz's opinion it was all bit too much.

Fitz looked around the diner. He loved them, the all night havens with unlimited coffee and sweet treats that would make the doctor faint. Good honest people come to sit on there booths and chat the night away before or after doing something.

Fitz smiled at Frank's enthusiasm to get what he wanted and not what he should get. "That sounds good, I think I'm gonna go for... The hotdog with the pickles and slaw" he smiled brightly "and an ice-cream float, you remember those? We used to share one with a side of mini waffles" he remembered fondly. "It was a good time, lots of memories to make yet though" he winked at his fiancé.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

"Honeymoon? Men don't fuckin' do that shit."

Fitz was sitting crossed legged on the sofa with travel brochures on his lap. “Yes a honeymoon Frank” he frowned with an amused expression. “I thought you would want us to get away for a while? No one has to know were a couple if that what your worried about” he shrugged as he run his fingers over the pictures of sandy beaches and cocktails. 

“Your gonna tell me that you’ve got shows just after our wedding aren’t you” he sighed and lent back on the arm of the sofa with his head hanging off the edge. “We gotta at least go for a vacation” he said dramatically. “We can take the kids if you want” he suggested with wide excited eyes. 

[francisalberts]

The crooner looked at his lover as he saw him looking through travel brocheures. He knew he wanted to go on vacation - a getaway somewhere with just the two of them, perhaps in an exotic land, hot in climate, relaxing and eating good food. But Frank didn’t get it. Not with another fella - he figured dames would want that, but fellas? Frank just thought they had a pool in the backyard, what else did he need? 

Frank cleared his throat, looking at the younger man as he sat opposite him dressed in his casual suit, his hand on his chest as he watched the other man. “Me? Worried?” He said, gesturing to himself. He shook his head, “Nah, I ain’t worried at all.” Frank hummed. “I jus’ figured we…we didn’t need one.”

Maybe he was losing his touch. He was getting so caught up in the practicality of things he was losing the romance of things. He supposed he had to remember the reasons he liked Fitz…he was a wanderer, and he was like a dame in some ways…and like a dame, he needed to be romanced. 

“No. We ain’t takin’ the kids, they’re a handful ‘n Tina is teething.” He mumbled under his breath, knowing how much the little girl cried. Frank leaned down, tying up his shoe laces. He was going to head out - not that he had told Fitz…or even interacted with him that much nearly all week.

[promisesandbreakdowns]

Fitz sighed feeling a little silly for looking at the pictures and gathered them up to place in a pile next to sofa. “I just thought it would be fun, that’s all” he pressed his lips together. He never knew that it would feel awkward to be living in Franks home. It wasn’t his. He had hardly any of his own things and he was still getting used to cleaners and assistants coming and going. 

He loved Frank dearly but he hardly saw him over the last week. None of his friends lived near by and everyone he knew was Franks friends, they were nice to him but they were not there for him. It was lonely. Everything had changed in such a short time, they didn’t even date it was a proposal straight off the bat. 

“I just thought that maybe you would wanna spend time with me” he mumbled and sighed deeply. He bit his lip. He hated confrontation. He grew up with his mother being so forceful and argumentative he didn’t want to become like her. “You going out?” he frowned as he looked down at his shoes being tied. he felt like they were becoming distant from one another. 

He was irritated and restless “I might go out too, I’m sick of being in this house alone” he scratched his hair and looked down. The fact that Frank had not even asked if he wanted to go out made him feel angry and forgotten. “Don’t ya want to be around me anymore?” he asked frowning deeply as he picked at his nail. 

[francisalberts]

Frank looked at his lover as he finished tying his laces, seeing how restless he seemed. He supposed he had not really been there for him. In fact, he had been…sort of all over the place, everywhere and anywhere expect with Fitz. Always coming and going as much as the cleaners and assistants. 

“Be around you?” Frank raised his eyebrow, “Of course I wanna spend time with you…we’re gettin’ married aren’t we? I wanna spend the rest of m’life with you.” Frank told the other simply as he sat up, looking a little confused as his brain tried to scan across what sort of scenarios or situations may have brought this up to begin with.
