The Trip

It had been 5 and a half months since team 7's last week off and finally it was time again. This time they had again one week and Ezra had no special plans apart from not being sick again. As he parted ways with his six friends he wished them a nice week off and then drove home.

Half an hour later he stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist and headed out to the kitchen. He stopped dead in his tracks as he found his lover of 8 months sitting in a chair.

"Hey there, gorgeous." Chris greeted.

"Chris. What are you doing here? I thought we agreed to meet tomorrow?" Ezra was surprised.

"We did, but I have a surprise for you." Chris said and kissed Ezra softly. "Sort of a thank you for taking care of me when I was sick.

"Okay..."

"Pack your bags." Chris stated.

"Pack my bags? Where are we going?"

"Now if I'd tell you then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?!"

"Okay, what do I need to pack? Warm clothes or what?" Ezra asked.

"Pack whatever you'd wear here." Chris said.

"Sure." Ezra said. "I hope this isn't some sort of a joke."

"It isn't, I promise, Ezra." Chris smiled.

An hour later the two men packed Ezra's bag into the trunk of Chris' car. Then they drove off. Ezra was still surprised that Chris was taking him somewhere. So far Chris hadn't made any attempt to tell their five friends about them and now they were going somewhere, where they probably would be seen together. Ezra wondered what Chris was up to, but he was unable to read Chris' face.

Two hours later Chris drove up a small dirt road and finally stopped infront of a house. It was a house made of wood and it was painted red. It looked like a house taken from a book, a real fairy tale house. Chris took his and Ezra's bag and went up to the house. There he unlocked the door and opened the door for Ezra.

"Go on, go in." Chris said.

"What is this, Chris?" Ezra said confused.

"Our living quarters for the next week." Chris smiled and closed the door behind them.

"We're staying here... together?" Ezra said.

"Yes, together, is something wrong?" Chris asked.

"No, I'm just surprised." Ezra said.

"So do you like it?" Chris asked.

"Yes, very much. I like it very much." Ezra said with a smile and wrapped his arms around Chris and kissed him passionately.

Suddenly the front door was opened and a voice bellowed loudly:

"We're here!"

"Oh my GOD!" Ezra exclaimed and drew away from Chris.

"It's okay." Chris said as Buck entered with JD.

"It's not okay." Ezra hissed.

"Hey boys!" Buck said and dropped the two suitcases he was carrying.

"Buck." Chris said while Ezra said nothing.

"Nice of ya'll to invite us." Buck said as JD went up to Ezra.

"Hi, Ezra." JD smiled slightly.

"Mr Dunne." Ezra said wondering what the hell Chris thought of when he invited the two men.

"You alright, Ezra?" JD asked as Chris and Buck talked.

"I'm fine." Ezra sighed.

"I was so glad to find out you two were a couple." JD said.

"WHAT?!!"

"I told them." Chris said.

"You did what?!" Ezra was in shock.

"It's okay." Chris said.

"But you didn't want anyone to know about us..." Ezra said.

"Well, Buck told me about him and JD and I thought..." Chris was interrupted.

"About him and JD?!" This was all too much for Ezra.

"Yep, me and the kid have been seeing each other for 6 months." Buck said.

"Buck!" JD whined. "Don't call me kid!"

"Oh, sorry... honey! Is that better?" Buck said.

"Much." JD smiled.

Ezra headed for the nearest chair and fell down on it. He sat looking as JD hugged Buck and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Ezra had to admit to himself that the two men made a very cute couple. Soon Chris came over to Ezra and looked at him questioningly.

"You okay, Ezra?"

"Yeah, I belive I am, Chris, just surprised." Ezra said after a while.

"Are you okay with me telling them... about us, I mean?"

"Yeah, sure, it's nice to be able to talk to someone about it." Ezra said.

"What? I thought you and I talked?" Chris was a bit offended.

"I'm joking, Chris. I'm joking." Ezra smiled.

"JD was right. You two are cute together." Buck said.

"Well, thank you, mr Wilmington." Ezra said.

An hour later the four men had settled in two separate bedrooms and now Chris and Buck was cooking dinner. JD and Ezra sat in the livingroom with the radio on. JD was asking all kinds of questions about Ezra and Chris' relationship and Ezra gladly answered them. JD then told Ezra about how he and Buck got together. Apparently JD had made a move on Buck and to JD's surprise Buck had answered by kissing him.

"I was so relieved to hear that me and Buck wasn't alone." JD said with a small smile.

"Same here, mr Dunne, same here." Ezra said.

"Dinner's almost ready." Chris said as he and Buck came out of the kitchen. "We just have to wait for the potatoes. They ought to be done in 5 minutes or so."

"Okay, what do we get for dinner? Potatoes and..?" JD asked.

"Steak." Buck answered and sat down beside JD.

2 and a half hours later it was late evening and the four men sat infront of the tv, watching an old movie. JD was leaning towards Buck and he had his arms around JD. Ezra and Chris sat beside each other, suddenly Chris leaned his head against Ezra's shoulder and took his hand. Ezra felt flushed because he was always used to hide his feelings. But now they could finally be open about it, at least infront of JD and Buck. Chris looked up at Ezra as he felt him squirm, then he sat up and looked at him.

"What is it?" Chris asked quietly.

"Nothing. It just... I mean I... I'm not used to this." Ezra said.

"I know, but we will get used to it." Chris said.

"How exactly?"

"We're gonna tell the rest of the boys on monday." Chris said.

"What?!" Ezra exclaimed which made JD and Buck look at them.

"Something wrong?" Buck asked.

"No, not at all. Chris just managed to surprise me... very much." Ezra said.

"Okay. I think me and JD are heading for bed." Buck said as the two men rose and went to the bedroom.

"Don't you want the boys to know about us?" Chris asked.

"Sure I do, but I always figured you didn't want them to know." Ezra said.

"Why? I love you and I want the whole world to know." Chris smiled.

"Really?" Ezra said and smiled.

"Yes. Now what do you say we head off to bed?" Chris suggested with a glimmer in his eyes.

"To sleep, you mean?" Ezra was teasing.

"Well... that's not what I had in mind, no." Chris said as he pulled Ezra off the couch.

"What do you have in mind then?" Ezra said.

"The same thing JD and Buck had when they went to bed." Chris said.

"What do you mean?" Ezra said as they heard a low moan from JD and Buck's bedroom. "Oh, you mean that."

"Stop teasing me." Chris said and kissed Ezra deeply.

"Come on then." Ezra said and they headed into their bedroom.

An hour later the two lovers lay panting in each others arms and Chris kissed Ezra again.

"I love you so much, Ezra Standish."

"I love you too, mr Larabee." Ezra smiled and they kissed again. "I'm so glad you want to tell the rest about us."

"Me too, Ezra, me too." Chris said and gave Ezra a kiss while pressing himself against him.

"Again!? Do you ever become tired?" Ezra said as he felt Chris become hard again.

"I don't ever tire of you, honey." Chris grinned and rolled Ezra ontop of himself again.

"Me neither." Ezra said. "I'd marry you if I could."

"What?!" Chris said.

"Yes, if it were possible, I'd marry you." Ezra said.

"Are you asking me to marry you?" Chris was in shock.

"I guess I am." Ezra said. "Will you marry me, Chris Larabee?"

"Yes, I'd love to marry you, Ezra." Chris said and the two met in a deep kiss.

The End
