    The Fit

    Boy Mercury X posted new chapter in The Fit

    Chapter One: Butch Blooms The late afternoon sun reflected off the glass storefronts of the Mission with a glare that made Sam squint. He looked at the sign above the door: Butch Blooms. He wiped his palms on the thighs of his Carhartts, letting out a low, preemptive grumble. Sam had never even heard of this place until Max got it in his head that it was where he wanted to buy his suit for the big day. Sam assumed they’d go to a big department store—somewhere with fluorescent lig

    The Fit

    Boy Mercury X posted a story in Fiction

    Sam has cajoled and coaxed Max, and with the big day finally coming, he's footing the bill for a suit at a high-end menswear boutique. What neither counted on was the sleek salesman with the talented mouth offering one a very private fitting—while the other waits outside the dressing room door.

    I think maybe his hands did what his mind couldn't.

    Thanks, friend. Those are great questions. Avery already dismissed the clients he was courting, and has nowhere to live. But he's a smart guy and I'm sure can figure out a living situation. I trust Steven will be sore, but still needs Avery.

    It's a pretty fast read so shouldn't take you long at all. As for where things are heading... I sometimes say you know in every one of his movies James Bond will be alive at the end... the entertainment is in how he gets there. 🤞

    13. The Tire Thumper We spill into the bedroom, kissing, tangling, grasping. Dino nearly trips over the rug, laughing breathlessly as he catches himself on the bedpost. "Shirt," I say, grabbing the hem of his blue polo. "Off. I want to see you." He lifts his arms, obedient, and I yank the fabric up and over his head, tossing it blindly into the corner. There he is. The mat of rust-colored hair on his chest, the broad shoulders, the soft, pale curve of his stomach an

    I was going to say something... but will bide my time.

    Thanks for giving it a shot, @peter rietbergen We conclude tomorrow.

    Just FWIW the park in the story is in the well established gay neighborhood and there has always been cruising there, but it isn't much bothered by the police. But I think Dino had enough reason to be freaked out by it, especially having kids.

    Maybe one of the downsides of being an excellent planner, which Avery is, is starting to actually believe the plan is real.
  11. Boy Mercury X
    Thank you @akascrubber. I don't know how many surprises are possible, but I hope there will be something unexpected.

    Thanks @Tris. We're almost there.

    Thanks @dachcr! Part two is up, and I hope you enjoy it.

    6. Armor "Ready to come down?" Dino asks. He hops off the pedestal first, his boots hitting the grass with a heavy thud. He turns and offers me a hand again. This time, I take it. His grip is warm and steady as I slide down from the granite, my sneakers nearly silent against the damp earth. We join the slim stream of others drifting onto the paved path into the park. We pass a couple sitting on a bench, wrapped in a single oversized coat, murmuring things we can’t hear but ca

    Thanks @chris191070. I look forward to hearing what you think of them.

    Thank you, @Daddydavek. I appreciate you sticking with it.
  18. Boy Mercury X
    If you enjoyed this, I think you'll be on board for Part Two.
  19. Boy Mercury X
    Thank you, Tris. I don't know what you did expect, but I'm glad you plan to return. I intend to publish all three parts over three days, so Part Two on Saturday and Three on Sunday.

    1. The Unexpected Reunion Some things find their perfect form early, and just decide to keep it. Gus Cooper Auto Repair is one of those things. It was the neighborhood fixture where families brought their cars for gas and TLC since before I was born. It’s been seventeen years since I graduated and got out of dodge, and it looks unchanged. It's almost the only thing that hasn’t changed. The boxy, grey slate of new million-dollar townhomes looms on either side, sandwiching the lot,

    Avery is a consultant and master of traveling light. A breakup sends him home to lick his wounds—a temporary situation, but aren't they all? The variable he didn't plan on is Dino, the high school jock turned divorced mechanic. Does their weekend fling have a future? Or will it end in another exit strategy?

    Chapter 1. The Golden Ratio Arthur James—AJ to friends and co-workers—hated leaving the city. It was Memorial Day weekend, right in the pocket of Seattle’s "Secret Season"—that glorious, brief window when the grey burned off to reveal blindingly blue skies, zero humidity, and mountains out in full force. But it was a long weekend, and the boys—Julian, Amari, and Davis—had rented a "rustic cabin" on the coast—"rustic" meaning a chef’s kitchen, satellite TV, and high-thread-count sheets.

    AJ's hunt for hot dads goes sideways when he's caught filming a DILF in aisle 4. Dragged into security, he expects the police but faces a beefy guard and a humiliating ultimatum instead. The city boy learns local justice is rough. The camera is rolling, and the only way out is on his knees.

    @Cane23 I admit, under penalty of perjury, to having a number of visual inspirations, of which a certain ginger looms large.

    Chapter 15: Rising Action I turned the handle, and the shower hissed to life, steam instantly filling the small glass enclosure. I stepped under the spray, letting the scalding water beat against the back of my neck, washing away the cold sweat of the library. A moment later, the glass door opened. Finn stepped in. He instantly filled the space, pressing me back against the cool tile. He was magnificent in the steam—his skin flushed with heat, water sluicing down the architecture
