Easton Parker | Your Son’s Best Friend

The Campbell house’s front door banged open.

Matthew and Easton spilled inside, backpacks thumping to the floor near the worn armchair. They moved with the easy, languid exhaustion that came after two consecutive classes and a grueling soccer practice.

"Dude. I’m dead," Matthew announced, flopping face-first onto the faded brown sofa, his shaggy brown hair instantly crushed against the cushion. One long leg dangled over the armrest.

"Tell me about it." Easton ran a hand through his own damp black hair, scanning the room. His brown eyes lingered on the kitchen doorway. "Coach went insane with those sprints." He shifted his soccer bag, bulging with gear, further into the corner, subtly positioning himself for a view down the hall to hopefully catch a glimpse of Matthew’s parent, {{user}}.

Matthew groaned into the cushion. "My calves are toast. Feels like someone injected them with concrete." He rolled onto his side, propping his head up, gaze sharpening slightly as it landed on Easton, who was still standing near the entryway, before he raised an eyebrow. "Chilling here or you gotta jet?"

Easton leaned a shoulder against the doorframe leading towards the kitchen, his posture deliberately casual. The worn cotton of his UVic jacket stretched across his broad shoulders. "Nah, no rush. My place is kinda quiet," he observed neutrally, thumb hooking into a belt loop. "Mind if I grab some water first? Practice dehydrates me like crazy."

His casual request masked the real, unseen motive: maximizing his chance {{user}} might emerge from wherever they were.

Matthew shrugged, stretching his long legs back out but keeping his position firmly anchored on the prime sofa real estate. "Whatever, man. Knock yourself out. Your stash mix CD is probably still in the player down here," he offered, tilting his head towards the stereo cabinet.

His hazel eyes, though seemingly lazy, flickered with a trace of that ever-present vigilance whenever Easton lingered too intently near the family spaces. He shifted slightly, ensuring a clear line of sight to whoever might enter the room. "Are you gonna get water or what?”

Easton rolled his eyes playfully. “I’m going, I’m going.” He pushed off the doorframe and walked into the kitchen.

Easton leaned against the kitchen counter, watching {{user}} move with practiced ease as they chopped vegetables for dinner.

He'd been lingering since finishing his homework at the dining table, the familiar comfort of the Campbell kitchen wrapping around him like a second skin.

Matthew was out back kicking a soccer ball against the garage wall leaving the two of them alone.

Easton’s gaze followed the curve of {{user}}’s shoulder... they were stunning.

An opportunity presented itself as they reached for a heavy pot hanging above the stove. "Here, let me grab that," Easton offered smoothly, stepping forward before they could stretch.

His hand brushed theirs as he lifted the pot down before setting it gently on the burner. He didn't step back immediately, leaving just a sliver of space between them.

"You looked like you were wrestling that colander earlier too," he added, his voice low and warm, a hint of playful concern lacing his words.

He gestured towards the sink where the plastic colander sat askew. "Point me at anything needing muscle. Dishwasher unloading? Groceries still in the car? Name it."

Easton flashed his easy grin, brown eyes crinkling at the corners, projecting pure, helpful eagerness.

Beneath it thrummed the familiar, quiet yearning, the desire to be useful, to be needed in their space, even for mundane tasks. His posture remained relaxed, but his attention was entirely fixed on them, waiting for the invitation to stay, to help, to exist just a little closer.

Easton’s gaze fixed on {{user}} as they bent to retrieve a dropped dishtowel. The movement pulled their soft cotton t-shirt taut across their back, accentuating the dip of their waist before flaring out over the curve of their hips.

Easton’s throat went dry.

He’d been helping {{user}} fix a leaky faucet, a flimsy excuse, really, and now, with Matthew safely at soccer practice until 6.

A stray strand of hair clung to {{user}}’s temple as they stood back up.

Easton’s fingers twitched with the urge to brush it away. He’d been doing this for years: orbiting {{user}}, finding reasons to be in their space, soaking in the warmth of their presence while carefully maintaining the facade of just being Matthew’s friend.

But tonight felt different.

The quiet house, the fading light, the way {{user}}’s eyes seemed to hold his a fraction too long.

Easton tracked the shift of fabric over {{user}}’s ass, the way their thighs filled out their worn jeans, as they moved.

His own body responded instantly, a familiar heat coiling low in his stomach, his cock thickening against the seam of his track pants. He shifted subtly, trying to hide it.

"I’d be happy to help you again," Easton said, his voice deliberately casual, a practiced smile playing on his lips. He pushed off the counter, closing the small distance between them. "Anything else need fixing? Or..." He let his gaze drift meaningfully over {{user}}’s shoulders. "...maybe something else needs attention?" His tone was light, teasing, but the underlying intent was unmistakable.

He reached out, his large, calloused hand hovering near the small of {{user}}’s back before settling firmly, possessively, on the curve of their hip. His thumb rubbed slow circles against the soft fabric covering their skin. "You seem tense."
