Title: Inviting The Fire: Chapter Three
Author:
wouldbedorothy (AHS)Pairing: Gale/Randy, OFC/G/R
Rating: PG13 chapter; fic will be very NC-17... next chapter ;)
Series/Sequel: my guess is prologue, eleven chapters, epilogue... but subject to change
Summary: You can't invite the fire and then blame the burn... AU where G/R meet in 2000 but in a different place, different way... There is no QAF... Features a (non-Simon) third party... and should be fairly kinky, at least for me, lol. Chapter three is 1855 words. Randy makes his decision.
Author's Notes: As I winked above, the next chapter is smut city and may take me a few days. If I were smart, I would sit on this chapter for a day or two, but it's just not in me to not post when I have a chapter done, *sigh*. I do have the sex outlined (LOL!), but writing it is a different thing. I'll do my best for ya'll!
Disclaimer: I don't know G or R, and obviously this didn't happen, because there definitely *was* a QAF. Dylan's my character so I don't have to apologize for her, lol.
Inviting The Fire
by AHS
Chapter Three
“I should have let you eat first. That sandwich is just going to lay there, untouched, isn’t it?”
Food was the last thing on Randy’s mind at the moment. He stared at her. “Dylan, are you being serious? Or is this some kind of theatre prank on the new guy? If so, good job, you got me.”
She shook her head quickly, hoping she could make him understand. “No, no. There’s no prank on the new guy. And, if there were, it wouldn’t be this. Why is it so hard to believe…?”
“That you’re inviting me to get fucked by your boyfriend?” His face was incredulous, his voice hushed, his head swerving back and forth to make sure no one was listening. “Oh my God, just saying it is crazy.”
“What’s so crazy? We like you. We think you’re hot. We want to have fun with you.”
“Gale thinks I’m…?”
So maybe Gale hadn’t said that, but she didn’t feel bad nodding in affirmation. Randy needed to feel wanted if he was ever going to agree to this.
Randy felt lit inside with unexpected joy, not because Gale thought he was hot, but because Gale thought of him at all. Still, he wasn’t actually considering this, was he? Shit, he loved sex, and he liked to consider himself open-minded, but he’d never even tried a threesome with two other guys. Being with a guy and a girl was not something he had ever thought would come into consideration.
“So, what do you think?”
“Uh… Dylan, how do I say this?” Randy ran a hand through his short hair, blew out a breath. “I’m… flattered, really. But it’s weird.”
“Why?”
“Why?? I’ll give you a list… We’re working on the play together. You’re a girl and I’m gay. Gale is your boyfriend. We barely know each other… Is that enough?”
The woman actually giggled. “Okay, let me try to answer those one at a time… I wouldn’t suggest this if I thought it would hurt the play. The theatre’s much too important to me. I always say I’d rather people think I was a bad person than a bad actress. Hell, I’d rather be a bad person than a bad actress.”
That frightened Randy slightly, but mostly because he understood it. She continued.
“I know you’re gay, silly. That’s kind of the point. Gale deserves a man who knows what he’s doing.”
She raised one eyebrow and looked pointedly at his mouth. Randy had absentmindedly picked up a French fry, and he realized, instead of eating it, he was just lightly sucking it. The fry fell to the plate.
“I know you don’t find me attractive, but I promise I won’t expect you to fuck me,” Dylan said solemnly, then laughed. “And Gale and I have experimented with our boundaries before. We enjoy it. I think it brings us closer together.”
Randy nodded slowly, trying to take in everything she was saying and actually process it… This works for them. The play will be okay. Gale deserves a man who knows what he’s doing.
“And it’s good that the three of us don’t know each other that well. We know enough to know we enjoy each other, we’re comfortable with each other, but we’re not such close friends that it might be awkward to venture over into more… carnal territory.”
He watched her calmly chew bites of her salad, sip her seltzer, while he just tried to stop sweating. “It’s a little scary.”
“What? A three-way?”
“No. How much sense you make.”
She gave a happy gasp. “Does that mean you’ll play with us? Are you saying yes?”
“I didn’t say that.”
Dylan looked disappointed for a second, but she wasn’t giving up. She could feel that he was close to surrendering. One more button to push…
“Well, I wish you’d say yes. We want to do it this weekend. If it’s not going to be you, I’ll have to find somebody else for Gale to fuck.”
Randy’s eyes sharpened when she said that, and more so as she pulled a small address book out of her purse and started riffling through it. “What are you doing?”
She shrugged. “Looking for the second string. There’s this cute guy at the Farmers Market who told me, flat out, he wanted to take Gale home with him. I guess it’s time to give him a call.”
His stomach twisted. This was going to happen with or without him. Gale was going to fuck a guy. It could either be him, or some random guy. He didn’t want Gale with somebody else. He knew Dylan was Gale’s girlfriend, knew he couldn’t have him, but the thought of him with another man was something different. It sliced and stung.
“Dylan, wait.”
She paused in her book, looked up, and waited. “Yes?”
One deep breath for courage and… “I’ll do it.”
“Oh, Randy, that’s fabulous!” Dylan put the book away, proud of her semi-bluff. That guy did exist and did say that about Gale… she just didn’t have his number. “I am so excited.”
Randy couldn’t manage a smile yet. Caught between a rush of bliss, the realization of what he’d been dreaming since first laying eyes on Gale within arm’s reach… and the logic he could never quite switch off, screaming in his head that he was volunteering himself for a world of hurt and broken heart.
“You’ll be excited, too. Once you get used to the idea.” She wrote their address on a napkin, passed it to him, then grabbed his hand and squeezed his fingers. “I promise you won’t regret it.”
“Should I bring anything?” He cursed his own good manners.
“We’ll have plenty of wine, and condoms, so… just yourself. What time’s good for you?”
Was this really how threesomes happened? Porn always made them seem so spontaneous, and here he was scheduling an appointment. Randy couldn’t decide if he felt cosmopolitan or slutty. But… Gale was going to fuck him. Gale.
He decided that was all he cared about.
*****
The next night, Gale was fucking nervous. He felt oddly like he was getting ready for a date. He’d showered that morning and, for some reason, showered again early that evening. He’d shaved and splashed on a spice-scented aftershave, deciding against cologne. He’d given way too much thought to whether or not he should trim his pubic hair (decided against it). And it took him way too long to decide to wear a fucking button-down black shirt and pair of jeans, that probably wouldn’t stay on for more than five minutes anyway.
Shit. The things he did for his crazy girlfriend. Because, obviously, this was all for her.
He looked at the clock. Their mystery visitor was supposed to be there at 8 pm. It was 7:49.
Gale found his stash and rolled himself a hefty joint, then headed to the living room and joined Dylan on the couch. She had been primping and preparing all day, and the results were spectacular.
“You sure we need this other guy?” he murmured as he nibbled her earlobe.
“Yes,” she said, playfully batting him away. “He’ll be here any minute. Besides, I really don’t think you put all that effort into sprucing yourself up just for me.”
He didn’t reply. Just flicked his lighter and lit his joint, taking a pull.
“Gale, do you have to smoke those in the house? They stink.”
“I’m fucking a guy for you. I can smoke where I want.” He grinned and she let it go. After a moment or two of quiet puffing, he couldn’t help asking, “Do I know him?”
“I’m not telling you that,” she insisted. “It’s more fun when you know nothing.”
Fun for her, maybe. “How did you even find this guy? Let me guess. You can take one look and instantly determine a bi-curious man.”
“Probably. But he’s not bi-curious. Or even bisexual.”
“He’s not.”
“Nope. He’s completely gay, baby.”
“What?”
“Only the best for you.”
Gale nearly dropped his joint… though he wasn’t quite sure why he was so surprised. Neither was Dylan.
“Does that make a difference?”
This pot was for shit. Why wasn’t he relaxed yet? “Just… kind of puts more pressure on me somehow. And I guess I’m wondering why the fuck he’d agree if he’s only gonna be half into it.”
“He may not be into girls, but if you’re fucking him and I start sucking his cock, I seriously doubt he’s going to push me off.” She lounged on the couch, eyes closed, an all too contented smile on her face.
“I guess he’s signed on for whatever he gets, but just don’t do anything to scar him for life, please? Literally or figuratively.”
Dylan held up her right hand. “I won’t subject him to my pussy any more than necessary, I promise. And, to answer your original question, I just saw him and knew we had to have him. He’s just, ah, so fucking adorable.”
Gale swallowed the notion that it could be him. It wouldn’t be him. “Adorable? How old is this guy?”
“Legal age or above,” she said vaguely. “Don’t worry. We won’t be breaking the law. We’re not even in one of those backward states where sodomy’s still illegal. Although, damn… that would kind of make it even hotter.”
“Freak. You’re really not gonna tell me anything else?”
Her lips formed a thin line, curving upward as she shook her head. “Trust me. You’ll like your surprise.”
At those words, there was a knock on the door. They both stood.
“Open it,” Dylan encouraged, nudging him.
Gale dropped his stick in the ashtray and walked to the door, turning the doorknob… determined not to be disappointed that it wasn’t…
“Hi.”
It was him. Randy on his doorstep, looking nervous but happy. Gorgeous. Randy, apparently, ready to be fucked. By him.
“Hi.” Beyond that word, Gale was frozen.
“Um, can I come in?”
Dylan moved past Gale and took Randy’s hand, pulling him inside. “You can come anywhere you’d like, sweetie.”
Randy looked over at Gale, still standing by the door, but spoke to Dylan. “Why does he look so shocked to see…? Fuck. He didn’t know, did he?” He shouted in a whisper. “You didn’t tell me he didn’t know!”
“I promised him a surprise,” she explained. “But I knew you were a surprise he would like. Gale, tell him.”
Gale wanted to. He really did. But he opened his mouth and what came out was, “Maybe this wasn’t a good idea.”
Randy bit his lip and tried not to show the hurt on his face. “I guess you were wrong… Thanks for thinking of me, really,” he said to her. “But I’d better go.”
He played it cool, but then nearly ran out the door.
“Gale, don’t just let him leave!” Dylan begged.
Gale nodded, already making his way to follow. He needed to fix it somehow. He didn’t think he could explain, but… he didn’t want Randy to be sad. To think he didn’t want him.
“Randy, wait!”

Date: 2007-10-31 09:07 am (UTC)Yup, she's not bad, really, but definitely manipulative. She thinks, "maybe I shouldn't do this, this person could get hurt"... but then she thinks, "but I want it!"... and that wins, lol.

Date: 2007-10-31 10:52 am (UTC)Trust you to pick up on that, lol! Is it because it's a girl or just somebody who's not Gale? ;) No, I agree, though. Haven't decided exactly how that will go. But what she said is basically right. I think he'll be occupied with Gale to the point that he'll hardly notice, lol.
Thank you dear!!! *hugs*
