“Shush ya self, I know ya are all that and a bag of chips. Don’t ya get all modest now. Ya fancy now,” he teased, pushing Sky back. “I think ya helpin the whole world now, Darling. I’m proud of ya.” He smiled brightly and pulled Sky back into a hug. “I missed ya too! I swear we woulda come visit more but we were bouncing around a lot and getting back over from Senegal was kind of a pain. But yah, Arch is here, lookin fine as hell. I think he’s maybe meetin up with Gunner right now, but I’ll make sure ya see him, promise. I know he misses you. The first few years we lived together he’d complain that I didn’t do stuff the way you did.”

Sky shrugged. He didn’t feel fancy at all. His clothes were kind of fancy on account of Sir Kirin buying most of them for him, but he still felt just like he always did. He hugged back fiercely having a sudden memory of jumping on the bed with the Dominant. “That’s okay Sir. Sir Kirin showed me on a map where Senegal is and that is very very away.” He scrunched up his nose, doubting that Archer wanted Ryder to do things the way he had. He knows back when they were roommates, he had needed a lot of patience with all of the shenanigans Sky got up to. And he always, always had that patience. “I love you both so much Sir.”

“We’ll definitely have to set that up. His brother is his Dom, right? So it might be easier if me and Summer flew out to you guys,” Sam suggested, and then smiled. “I bet you’d win big brownie points if you took home a signed head shot from Blaine,” Sam grinned. He kissed Sky’s cheek, and sat back down. “Part of the family, huh? Am I hearing wedding bells?”

@submissive-summerxjones​

“We can definitely arrange that sometime soon, if you’d like, Sky. But I’ll have to check with Ben.” She added. “And speaking of the family growing…” she said, biting her lip to hold in her grin as she waited for them to catch on.

@sky-evans-rhodes

Sky nodded excitedly. “Yes! You gotta come meet him and maybe momma and dad can come too. It would be great. I just know you’re gonna love him.” His eyes widened. “Really he would loove that.” He scrunched his nose at his brother. “Sam! Not getting married. But Sir lets him come stay over and Sir Jack... Horatio’s brother he let’s me stay with them all the time. We stay at his house after church and have dinner and watch movies. It’s really great.” There was something in Summer’s tone that he couldn’t quite place. It was like happy and excited and nervous and something else too. “Summer?” His head tilted to the side in question, but something clicked into place and his eyes widened looking over to Sam to get confirmation that he might be right.

Sam’s full attention was on Sky as his brother told them his news. He loved seeing how excited Sky was,  and the incredibly sweet way Sky talked about Horatio was very endearing. “Dude!” Sam grinned, standing up so he could move over to Sky and hug his brother tight. “You had a kiss, and you’re in love? I’m so happy for you!” Sam exclaimed loudly, not caring at all that he’d made people look over at them. 

@submissive-summerxjones​

Summer grinned the entire time Sky spoke, and took her own turn hugging Sky tight and giving him a gentle kiss to his head. “I’m so happy for you, Sunshine.” She said. “I can’t wait to meet him, you’re going to let us meet him, right?”

@sky-evans-rhodes

Sky didn’t care that people were looking. He was just so happy. Nothing actually felt as real and as important until he shared it with his family. “Oh yes... yes. I want him to meet you and he wants to meet you all because I talk about you all the time. Also he’s shy to meet Blaine on account of he saw him in the play and is like a super big fan. I think.. I think he’s going to be part of our family.” Things were very new, but just like both Summer and Sam had told him over the years, when he fell in love with the right person he’d know about it. “Our family is growing and growing ain’t it?”

“I can’t help it if they love new pictures of everyone in New York!” Sam grinned, and then nodded. “Oh man, I could totally eat a cheeseburger right now, and I’m gonna load it up with onions. You have no idea what it’s like trying to get vegetables in the house when you’re married to Nate,” Sam smiled. He paused for a moment as Sky blurted out his news, as his brother’s words sank in. After a second, Sam jumped up and hugged Sky tightly. “Dude! That’s so awesome! You’ve gotta tell us all about him!” Sam insisted, mostly because he was excited for his brother, but a little because he wanted to make sure Sky wasn’t being taken advantage of. Though, he trusted Kirin and Hunter to ensure that didn’t happen.

@submissive-summerxjones​

“You know, I’d say I’m sorry, but you chose to marry him.” She said to Sam. When Sky blurted his news Summer completely forgot about her own for a moment. “Really?! Oh Sky that’s amazing! Tell us EVERYTHING about him!” She demanded. “What’s he like? Does he treat you well?”

@sky-evans-rhodes​

It was a wonder to Sky that Sir Nate still wouldn’t eat anything that was a vegetable no matter how yummy they were. He didn’t like a lot of fancy healthy food like his Sir did, but he still ate way more veggies than Nate. He felt warmed to his heart by his sibings excitement. “He... he...  he’s just so perfect. Umm... oh...” He shook his hands in front of his face to calm himself so he could answer their questions. “His name is Horatio. He’s a submissive and he goes to the same church as me and he’s sooo super shy. He does computers and works at his brother’s company. Oh and guess what? He’s like me! He’s asexual and his brother claimed him on account of his brother is asexual too and aromantic and he loved his brother and wanted to keep him safe like how you was gonna do for me. He’s kind and sweet and quiet and sooo smart. I think maybe I really love him lots.” He chewed on his lip and looked down, realizing he’d not really told anyone else that.

Ryder was wrapped up in his phone asnwering a text when he heard his name pierce the air. He looked up and around but before he could register anything he was pounced. There was only one person he knew that hugged like this and as soon as he realized who it was he started to giggle. “Skylar Evans!! Ya a sight got sore eyes!! Holy shit! I missed ya dude! Or should I say Mr. Successful Business Man!”

Sky pulled back and blushed brightly. He still had a hard time believing that people saw him that way. He thinks it’s mostly because of that magazine. “Awww Sir, you know I ain’t all that.” He pushed at the man’s shoulder playfully. “I just help my Dom Sir.” That of course was something he was very proud of. He never thought he’d be able to be useful in the way that he has been to Kirin. And if they don’t have a romantic kind of love, they still have a very special kind of love. He knew Kirin would always care for him, take care of him, and respect him. “I missed you so much Sir!” Ryder had been his friend from his very earliest days at Lima. Back when he was that new, awkward strange kid and Ryder had accepted him as a friend unconditionally. He looked around. “Is Archer here?” He knows of course through Hunter that Archer was going to be there, but he can’t see him. 

[sky-evans-rhodes]

When Sky saw Ryder he sprinted away from Hunter and Sir Kirin across the room. “Sir! Sir Ryder! Sir Ryder!” He hadn’t seen the man in years. The last time was when they were both visiting their brothers at the same time. He wrapped his arms around the man in a big hug.

There was no older source of comfort for Sam than hugging Sky and Summer. He was so happy as he and Sky made room for Summer, and hugged them both so eagerly. “Coming back to this place was worth it just to be with you guys again,” Sam grinned, as he reluctantly pulled back from the hug. He chuckled at Sky’s eagerness, and didn’t have a single problem with Sky wanting Summer to sit next to him. “We need to make sure we take some pics, and send them to Mom and Dad,” he chuckled, as he sat down.

@submissive-summerxjones​

Summer happily slid into the booth next to Sky, and picked up the menu from the table. “You and your pictures, Sammy. I swear, Mom and Dad must have at least two full external hard drives just of pictures you’ve sent them.” She chuckled. “So what’s everyone eating? I’m dying for a big juicy cheeseburger, and fries. God I forgot how good the fries here were… think they’re still that good?” She asked, knowing full well she was stalling and dodging aorund the topic of her big news. But she wanted to keep them in suspense… it was more fun that way! 

@sky-evans-rhodes​

Sky just smiled listening to his brother and sister. There was no denying that he missed them terribly. So e part of him still wishes they all lived together in a big gigantic house, but he mostly understood why it wasn’t possible. He’d take these moments and hold them tight. “I hope so. Do they still that macaroni and cheese with bacon? That’s what I want.” He watched them read their menus, fully intending to just keep is news to himself for little bit longer. But keeping secrets was definitely not a strong suit of his. The words came blurting out straight away. “I got a boyfriend and guess what? He kissed me!”

Sam was the next Evans sibling to show up, and was just as excited as his brother. Their youthful dream of living up on top of each other in the same town hadn’t really worked out, but that hadn’t stopped them all from loving each other dearly. He grinned as he saw Sky sitting at the table and rushed over to envelope his brother in a hug. “Sky!” he gasped happily.

@submissive-summerxjones​

Summer was anxious to see her brothers and tell them the news. She was actually pretty stoked the timing worked out so that she could tell them in person rather than over skype or the phone. She made sure Ben and Quinn knew where she was before she mad eher way to the diner. Instantly as she walked in she was hit by nostalgia if lunch dates with Sky here every Sunday while Sam was working. Not one thing had changed. She smiled wide when she saw her brothers. “Sammy! Sky!!!” She couldn’t contain an excited squee as she head toward them to hug them.

@sky-evans-rhodes

Sky was already on his feet when made it to the table. He loved the way that it felt when Sam hugged him. Like he was completely wrapped up in his brother’s love and affection. Soon enough they heard Summer’s high pitched squeel of delight as she called out their names. They’d managed so many triplet hugs in their lifetime that they seemed to just instinctively know how to move to make room for each of them. When Sky had squeezed the stuffing out of each of them and felt satisfied at least for the moment, he moved back, his eyes a little misty with happiness. “I missed you soo much! Do you remember Summer... ‘member we used to eat here all the time.” He was reluctant to move away from hugging distance, but did sit down and scoot all they way in the booth to give room for Summer to sit next to him. It was selfish to want her to sit next to him, but Sam would probably forgive him.

After Hunter did his usual check to make sure he had his phone and wallet and emergency card, Sky practically ran to the restaurant. It wasn’t as though they didn’t talk at least once a week, if not more, and saw each other as often as their schedules allowed, but that didn’t change how excited he was every time. He was, unsurprisingly he was the first there and was sitting at the table legs swinging, eyes going up to the door every time the bell rang.

Wow looks like they keep you safe! I’ve missed you soooo much! Please can I come and see you?

Yeah! I’m super hungry. Wanna go get cupcakes.

@sky-evans-rhodes

Please please please please tell me you are here!

I’m here! It took a while on account of Sir is really busy at work and also Hunter had to check the hotel and make sure it was all safe and stuff. It is. No bombs or bad guys or gas leaks or anything.

Many people might make the mistake of pitying Skylar.  Pity him for what he lost and for what he can’t have, but they overlooked all of the things he did have. He has a Dom who not only trusted him and took care of him, but also depended on him. He has a co-sub who protected him from every danger in the whole world. He has a family that had grown and grown full to bursting with love. He has a job that made him feel like he was making a difference in the world. He was helping all the animals that he loved so much. And recently he got something he’d always wanted. True love’s first kiss. Horatio works on computers and is the very shy, asexual submissive of his older brother. He goes to the same church as Sky. They became friends and then slowly fell in love. It’s new but special and maybe even for forever. So you see, you shouldn’t pity Skylar Evans-Rhodes. He’s got everything he ever wanted and more.
