Chapter Four

"Twenty bucks says I can get Jimmy to streak through the house."

Zacky looked back at his bed and the man sprawled across it.

"Aren't you supposed to be getting ready, Love?" he asked, turning back to the mirror he was sitting in front of.

"I am ready."

"Johnny, Matt's not gonna let you leave the house dressed like that."

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Johnny asked, looking down at the shorts, and T-shirt he was wearing.

"Nothing, but Matt wants us all dolled up," Zacky replied. "And if you value your manhood, like I do, you'll change your clothes."

"I'll do it if you take me up on my offer," Johnny said, sitting up.

"No."

"Oh, come on, Zacky, I know you want to see it too."

"Johnny, get changed right now."

"Not until you say yes, Zachary."

"Alright, fine. I'm saying Jimmy won't streak through the house for twenty bucks," Zacky said.

"How much do you think he'll do it for?"

"Fifty bucks."

"Alright you're on. If he agrees to do it for me, you give me twenty bucks, if he says no, I'll give you fifty."

"Deal. Now change your clothes, Jonathan."

Johnny scrambled off of the bed, running into their shared closet and started digging for clothes.

Zacky shook his head, smiling, as he watched his lover scrambling to change his clothes quickly.

"So, when are you going to ask Jimmy to streak?" he asked.

"Now," Johnny said, running out of the room while trying to put his pants on at the same time and not fall down.

"Whatever."

Matt was coming down the hallway, heading for the stairs, when Johnny went hopping by trying to pull a pair of dress slacks on as he went.

"Johnny, what're you doing?" he asked.

"Gotta ask Jimmy something," the younger man replied as he disappeared around the corner.

"Okay then, I won't ask," he said, continuing on his way.

Tonight is going to be a good for all of us, he thought. We need to get out more, spend an evening away from the house.

"Matt, will you please tell me where we're going?" Val asked, coming up beside him.

"No, it's a surprise," he replied as he took her hand in his, leading her down the stairs. "You look very lovely tonight."

"Sweet talking me isn't going to make me stop asking you where we're going."

"It was worth a try," he said.

Fifteen Minutes Later

"I swear, Brian is a bigger woman then Aleera and the twins," Matt said, looking at the clock above the mantel. "And where is Aleera?"

"We're not deaf, or invisible," Val said, glaring at her husband.

"And we don't know where Aleera is," Michelle added.

"What about Jimmy?" he asked, looking back at them.

"He was, um, still getting ready," Johnny said, trying not to laugh.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Trying not to sneeze. So, where are we going?"

"The opera," Matt replied.

"The opera? Why in the fuck are we going to the opera?" Zacky asked.

"Because we need to...." Matt began to say, but he was interrupted by Jimmy.

"FUNKY MONKEY!! FUNKY MONKEY!! I AM A FUCKING FUNKY MONKEY!!" he yelled as he ran, completely naked, through the parlor and disappearing down the hallway towards the back of the house, still yelling.

".....experience some fucking culture in this house, jack-ass," Matt continued. "All we ever do is party, tear up bars, and cause trouble, so tonight we're gonna act our ages and enjoy the fucking show, so get your asses out to the car and shut your fucking mouths."

"What about Brian, Aleera, and Jimmy?" Val asked.

"Jaxs is going to wait for them with the second car," Matt replied. "And Aiden's waiting for us, so move your asses."

"Yeah, you are definitely Mr. Culture and Manners, Matt,” Val said, walking past her husband. “Ten years ago I couldn’t even get you to go to a play with me.”

“People change,” he said, following her.

“Not you, so much,” Michelle said, following them.

When they where out of sight, Johnny looked up at his lover and held out his hand.

“Twenty bucks, please,” he said.

“Greedy dwarf,” Zacky grumbled, pulling out his wallet and thumbing through the bills. “All I’ve got is a couple of fifties, a ten and six ones.”

“Then give me a fifty.”

“No way, you said twenty bucks if he did it,” Zacky said, putting his wallet back into his pocket. “So when I get a twenty, you’ll get it.”

“Zacky, Johnny, let’s go!!” Matt yelled.

“We’re coming, ass-hole!” Johnny yelled back, walking out of the parlor with Zacky at his side.

“You think Brian and Aleera will join us?” he asked.

“Doubt it,” Zacky replied. “And Jimmy will probably have Jaxs drop him off at some club instead of the opera, wherever it’s going to be.”

“I wish we could ditch,” Johnny sighed.

“So do I baby, so do I,” Zacky said.
