''Hey querido, are you hungry?''
It took a minute or two before the thought came to Buck that Carlos was talking to him, and not to TK, who was peacefully asleep arranged between his legs, with his head snuggled into his belly.
Buck tore his gaze away from his Switch, which he currently held in his hands (it was a Christmas present from his loved ones, they bought it for him when he mentioned that he would like to play some of the games released for the console) and directed it at his boyfriend.
''I'll take it easy until dinner, dulzura. Sit down and calmly start reading your book. You've been waiting for it for over a month.''
It was one of their days off, where they had no plans outside the house and spent time just the three of them. Today was the day when each of them individually relaxed in their favorite way. (Of course they had to stay in the same room, it was hard for either of them to let the other two out of their sight. And they didn't need interaction at all while doing so, the mere feeling of being close to each other was enough.)
Each time, they changed their rest schedule to keep things from getting boring. The last such day was spent having several hours of sex and pampering each other.
(Shivers still ran through him at the memory of the last time they watched a movie together. Back then, Buck was more focused on how Carlos filled him to the brim, while TK tested how much he could prolong his orgasm. Later, after the movie, he repaid him with a long sex session, during which he made him cry from hypersensitivity while Carlos reheated an already cold dinner for them, as they had completely forgotten about it).
When he saw that Buck certainly didn't need anything and that he wasn't just saying that because TK had decided to make himself a pillow, Carlos smiled and merely nodded his head. Walking toward the free part of the couch, where a book was already waiting for him, he stopped to kiss Evan on the cheek. Out of the corner of his eye, he also glanced at what was currently on the screen of the console Buck was holding.
''A phase of running a farm has grabbed you? You know that my mother is always willing to lend you out for a few days to help her on the ranch. Thanks to the fact that you helped her a few times, she now adores you more than me, her own son.''' Carlos said with mild amusement, recalling all those recent conversations with his parents, who increasingly asked only about Evan. If he wanted to be mean he would have said that his parents had chosen a new son for themselves. But he was actually glad that his other boyfriend was easily accepted by his parents.
''Actually... your mother called today to ask if we would come to her place at the weekend so I could help her in the garden...'' Buck replied after a long moment, with a slight blush on his face.
Carlos knew then that he no longer had any chance to change his plans, because his mother had wrapped his boyfriend completely around her finger. TK would be bribed with her tamales for that, and Carlos would be left on his own if his father wasn't home.
