The whole thing went down as planned. Almost to the letter.  People arrived. My dad gave me a hug and when he stepped away he both remembered and forgot who I was. It was odd watching the light of recognition fade. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. At least Alex never had…

I headed up stairs to get ready. I still planned on being Ted. It was still a costume party, we were just going to throw a wedding into the mix. A lot less planning Alex said. Alex was waiting for me in our room. He sat on the bed wearing a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt that simply said “404 Costume…

Two days before Alex’s birthday the entire family got their memories back. But everyone was under strict order to never mention that fact. The good thing was, that most of us already knew how to keep secrets and well the kids, they didn’t go to school with normal people. So our secret was safe – we hoped.…

Everyone was bounding around like chickens with their head cut off. Alex was walking past and I cracked open the wine he’d bought and poured a glass. When he rushed past again I held the wine glass out to him impeding his progress. He stopped and looked at me with a frown. “I’m sorry. We…” “I know. Doesn’t he have a watcher?” I…

I rummaged around in Alex’s kitchen and found it was pretty well stocked. Chicken thawed, vegetables in the crisper, and there was even a few high protein carbs that would work. Alex was buying a wine. I hoped a white as that was one of my go to dishes. But Alex’s fridge had a fine white already opened. The kids came back but…

We walked out hand in hand – me wearing Alex’s clothes. It was the first time I really got a good look at their place – my new place? Alex squeezed my hand and I looked at him, “Your place.” He smiled. It took a little bit to know he was in my head. Hunter came into the kitchen…

The water was getting cold or the air was cooling against my skin. Alex was lounging beneath me. I shifted and Alex groaned, “Don’t tell me you want another round?” I kissed his neck and shook my head, “No, I’m good. Just getting cold.” Alex shifted underneath me and sat up, “We should get out and get…

The shower didn’t go nearly as Alex planned. It didn’t go as I had planned either. Shower sex was always interesting, but Alex had other ideas, he had a huge bathtub. One long enough for both of us to stretch out nearly full length.  Alex had my shirt off before he pushed me up against…

I knocked on the door, but Hunter just opened it right up. He lived there after all. I guess it didn’t matter. He tugged me after him, “Da’s probably not home yet.” “Great.” That was just what I needed to be bitched at by a feisty young woman who was pregnant.  And as soon as I stepped foot over…

Hunter dragged me into a thrift shop around the corner. How he knew there was one was beyond me – he was five. I can’t imagine his dad would have brought him to a place like this. It was full of things people didn’t want and Alex didn’t look like the type to want things people had…

It was Halloween, and there were shops all over the place – just for the season. We started at one end of town and worked our way to the other looking for something that had a decent selection. This close to Halloween the pickings were slim and I didn’t much like what they had. So we moved on. We…

Vin walked us into the middle of a room I’d never been in. The whole room was shadowed in darkness. Hunter grinned brightly in the black light, “It’s protected from outsiders too. Not everyone can just walk in.” “That’s good to know.” I said, “Alex thinks of everything.” Hunter giggled, “Da, said no fucking way am I letting…
