Once inside, Dennis had ordered his Brats to strip
down to their boxers and had sent them to their respective corners in his
air-conditioned study while he divested himself of sweaty clothing and cooled
down in the kitchen. The objective had been for each of them to think things
through so peace would again reign in their household.
Skyy decided something different was called for when
he looked over his shoulder at the sound of Dusty furtively making his way
across the room to the corner nearest the windows. It made Skyy sad to see his
fellow-Brat despondently sitting with his back against the adjoining walls.
Meanwhile, Dennis was relaxing back with a cool drink
and having a one sided conversation with Skyy’s pet hamster. “Well, Nugget, I do
believe I’ve managed to prevent any physical altercation between my two cranky
partners. We were all over-heated by the time the yard was done and they were
spitting combative words at each other. Hopefully they’ve made up and are
cuddling by now. I don’t think I have the energy to dole out more than this
time-out.”
Back in the study, Dennis’ plan was being realized. Crawling
over and perching himself in front of the older man, Skyy nestled into Dusty’s
embrace and felt the reassuring kisses of love and forgiveness raining down on
his neck and shoulders.
They weren’t sure how Den was faring, but here in
their little corner of the world a quiet tranquillity had settled over them.
The End
