What: Dinner with ~~the harem~~ everyone
When: Saturday night
Where: Kemp house
Warnings: Doubtful

Once Jamie had talked with everyone else, and they'd agreed on a day, the Kemp house had leaped into action. The place had gotten a clean, and Lena had been cooking for a couple hours. The whole house smelled great, and Jamie could smell it coming up the stairs from his room. He'd been picking things out at random and holding them up to himself, tossing them on the bed almost as quickly.

Roxanna let herself in and dropped onto the bed, going through the things that had been tossed aside. "It'll be OK, grasshopper," she said soothingly. "They're not coming to see what you've worn. They're coming to see you. Come on, come here." Jamie made a slightly helpless face in the mirror, but turned to look at her anyway.

Roxanna cast a critical eye at him, then dug through the pile. "Come on, put these on," she told him, throwing a shirt and pants at him. Jamie obliged, and she nipped out to find his pomade.

Once he was dressed, she came at him with a comb, smoothing it back and giving it a little shape. "Nice," she said, grinning behind him in the mirror.

"I feel like I might barf," Jamie admitted.

"Just means that you care about how it goes," she said gently. "Come on, give me a hug and let's go downstairs. Your men should be arriving soon."

Phantasos was the first to arrive, knocking at the door nervously. he had brought three bouquets for all the boys, though he was hoping to catch Jamie on his own first, only for a moment. Thomas opened the door and immediately grinned at the small Greek, laden with posies. "Come in, come in!" he said, and Phantasos allowed himself to be ushered inside. "JAMESON! ONE OF YOUR FANCY BOYS IS HERE!" Thomas yelled up to his son. "I am so thrilled about this," Thomas said to Phantasos. "But if you hurt him I'll break you."

Phantasos grinned right back at Thomas, "you're letting the side down," he joked, "Roxanna gave me the speech before you did."

"What?!" Thomas pouted at that. "ROXANNA HOW DARE YOU!"

	Jamie felt his heart skip a few beats, but he took a deep breath and headed toward the stairs, Roxanna trailing behind him. "It's my job," she laughed. "I'm Greek. We love threats. Plus he knows I do it because I care." "You look great," Jamie told Phantasos, ignoring his father and Roxanna. "Would you like to set your flower stand down in the kitchen?"

Phantasos had dressed up in a suit just for the occasion, and he felt pleased to bits when Jamie complimented him. "You look amazing too," he said, ignoring Thomas and Roxanna as well. His eyes were fixed on Jamie and Thomas turned to Roxanna with a laugh.

"Does it feel like we're suddenly not even in the room?"

Phantasos just followed Jamie towards the kitchen as he asked.

	"I was just thinking that, yeah," she answered, grinning. "Dad's very pleased about, well...everything," Jamie told Phantasos. "And Lena's been cooking up a storm, it'll be great." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunambulist 2017-04-02 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"It smells delicious," Phantasos grinned. "I've been eating a lot of takeaway lately so anything homecooked is a bonus. I'm glad your dad is pleased. Mine wouldn't really care much, but my brothers are happy for me!" At the door, Jayden gripped David's hand in his. "Ready?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flare_star 2017-04-02 05:16 am UTC (link)
	"Well Lena's food is the best, and there's going to be a ton of it, so prepare yourself," Jamie told him. "Ready," David agreed, squeezing Jayden's hand and ringing the bell with his free one. Roxanna answered the door and smiled at them. "There you are! Come in, come in, I think it's gonna be a few more minutes on dinner." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jayden stepped inside, smiling shyly at his best friend. Roxanna was safety and at the moment Thomas was a little scary. Still, he believed Jamie when he said Thomas wouldn't hurt him. "That's okay. I'm just happy to be here."

Phantasos leaned back and grinned at the two boys. "Hey there! Come come, I got you flowers!"

Thomas just clasped his hands together in glee, "look at all of you!"

	"Good, because we're happy you're here," Roxanna told him, squeezing him in a hug before flitting off into the kitchen to help Lena. "She's very...effervescent, isn't she?" David asked. "When it suits her," Jamie said wryly, smiling at both of them. "Thanks for coming, anyone want anything to drink?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunambulist 2017-04-02 05:31 am UTC (link)
	"Just water," Jayden said, ever attempting not to demand anything or put anyone out. Phantasos shot Jayden a worried look, but shrugged it off. "Soda if you have it. Can I help with anything, Lena?" Lena just smiled to herself as she finished up and bumped Roxanna with her hip, "all good in here, you just stay in there and flirt!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Water's fine for me too," David added.

"Right?" Roxanna agreed, shooing Jamie out of the kitchen. "Go sit, we'll be fine."

"Alright, alright," Jamie acquiesced, laughing. "Come on, this way everyone." He settled himself into a chair where he could see everyone. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I've gathered you here tonight."

David snorted. "Alright there, Paul Newman." Jamie let out a surprised laugh. David shrugged. "My mom and I love to watch old black and white movies, when we have the time. I almost said Bogart, but the gravitas wasn't quite there."

"You are so hot right now, just so you know."

	Jayden giggled as David and Jamie bantered. He loved it! Phantasos sat and took a sip of his soda before nodding and adding, "he's right, you are." Thomas took his spot beside Lena and he took ahold of her hand gently. "Look at them! Look how cute!" "Hush you," Lena warned him. "Eat up, everyone. It's Weiner schnitzel, as well as kartoffelsalat and greens." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

David laughed. "Just as a heads up, I'm intolerable when I'm watching some old movies. I end up shouting that it's totally obvious what they're missing, or something."

"You mean like how he is when watching horror movies?" Roxanna asked, giggling. "'Don't open the door! Dumbass, why are you going into the basement?!' Etc., etc."

"People in horror movies sometimes deserve to be mocked, OK," Jamie told her. "Some of them are dumb."

"This smells great, Lena, thank you," David said, tucking into his plate.

Lena grinned at David, "thank you cutie. And Roxy's right, Jamie does do that."

"He's braver than me, I can't watch horror movies," Jayden spoke up. "But I love the old movies David watches. I never got to watch movies when I was little unless they were Christian ones. They're all boring."

"Oh god," Phantasos made a face like he was bearing fangs. "That sounds like the worst."

Roxanna snorted at the expression on Phantasos' face. "I have to agree, that does sound like the worst. Like that Fireproof bullshit? I'd probably fall asleep."

"Oh I still jump, don't get me wrong," Jamie told Jayden, laughing. "But apparently I still like putting myself through that."

"And hiding behind me," Roxanna stage-whispered.

"Hush you." Jamie stuck his tongue out at her.

	"Adorable," Phantasos said, pointing straight at Jamie. "I always thought so," Jayden said and then he grinned, "look at me, I'm flirting!" Thomas snorted and hid himself behind his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flare_star 2017-04-02 07:31 am UTC (link)
	"I heard that, Dad," Jamie said, looking over at him, amused. "I mean...you're not wrong," Roxanna said to Phantasos. "He's pretty good. I mean, if you like living with awesome people." "Oh stop it," Jamie muttered. "Also, Jayden, if you get any cuter, I might actually keel over," she added. "That's what I've said before," David told her. "It's pretty great."

Jayden turned and beamed at David, taking his hand momentarily. "Just keep telling me and I'll keep it up," he promised.

"Good to know," Phantasos grinned.

Thomas watched the four of them, enthralled by their interaction. He was still a father, however, and he had to do his fatherly thing. "So you're all comfortable with this?" he asked, because if he didn't he would hate himself.

"I'm still coming to terms with it a bit," David admitted. "Because it's totally different from anything I've ever been a part of. I mean, I'm on board to try and make it work, it just might take a little time for me to get acclimated."

"And that's fair," Jamie agreed, nodding. "And you and I have already talked, Dad, because when it comes to you I am an open fucking book. So you know I'm OK."

Roxanna looked at the other three who were sitting around the table, and briefly thought about picking her fingernails with her knife. (She decided against it, she wasn't quite done eating.) She caught Jamie's eye and winked instead.

	"It's totally okay," Phantasos assured David, "take as long as you need." "And as long as everyone is happy and safe, I'm thrilled," Thomas added. "But if any of you ever need to talk, I'm here." "Ditto!" Lena added. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adancingstar 2017-04-02 08:09 am UTC (link)
	David smiled at Phantasos. "I'll keep y'all updated," he promised. "Same," Roxanna agreed. "Because I love all of you and I have an abiding interest in making sure you're happy." "Plus you live with me," Jamie added. "Well there's that too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	asterismos 2017-04-02 08:17 am UTC (link)
	"And you're my person," Jayden added, because he wouldn't let that go. "Thanks, Thomas. That's really kind of you. You too, Lena." Lena winked at him and shovelled more potatoes into her mouth. "This is so good, I never want to stop eating," Phantasos whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes, that too," she agreed, pointing for emphasis. "I know y'all are going to work your way up to maybe sleeping in a pile of men, but he's my person. So. Yes."

Jamie cocked his head quizzically.

"It's from Grey's Anatomy," she explained. "Ride or die, drop everything and I'll be there for you. That kind of thing. You're my brother, Jayden is my person."

"Right?" David agreed. "I started salivating almost as soon as I walked in."

	"Well there's dessert so try to save some room?" Lena suggested. "Too late," Jayden admitted, still eating anyway. "I just love meat, you know?" "I think they had an inkling," Phantasos winked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flare_star 2017-04-02 08:31 am UTC (link)
	Jamie snorted and accidentally got water up his nose. It burned and he went into the kitchen to try and blow his nose. "You're so odd," Roxanna told him fondly. "It's true, though," Jamie said. "Michelle and I were talking about it once. We're a vagitarian and meat eater, respectively. Which is a title I could live with." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sat_by_the_fire 2017-04-02 08:37 am UTC (link)
	Lena grinned widely and she turned to Thomas. "What would I be then, honey? Vag curious?" "I think the correct word is simply 'exuberant'," Thomas chuckled. Jayden glanced at Jamie, "are they always like this, because my brother and his boyfriend and girlfriend are too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flare_star 2017-04-02 08:40 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," Jamie replied, almost before Jayden was done speaking. "They really are. In fact, the first time I met Lena, she was wearing one of my dad's shirts and making coffee. Things kind of grew from there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sat_by_the_fire 2017-04-02 09:00 am UTC (link)
	Lena grinned wickedly, but kept any comments she might have to herself. "It could be worse, Kiddo, I could have had all my flings in the kitchen the morning after. I only risked it for the best." "Too cute, can't handle it," Phantasos laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flare_star 2017-04-02 09:06 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, your many and varied flings," Jamie deadpanned. "Since there were so many of them." "They are," David agreed, and Roxanna nodded around her last mouthful of potato salad. "This house is full of cute a lot," she said, once she'd swallowed her food. "I mean...even more now, but its baseline is pretty high." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	asterismos 2017-04-02 09:17 am UTC (link)
	"Heyyyy," Thomas pretended to be offended. "I had at least two!" Lena snorted and patted him with a 'it's okay, slugger' expression on her face. Jayden laughed and leaned his head against David's shoulder. "Yeah, they're pretty good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flare_star 2017-04-02 09:22 am UTC (link)
	"I think you had only two, that I recall," Jamie said into his water glass. "Did someone mention dessert?" Roxanna asked. "Because I could go for that right now." "God, I have no idea how you stay so skinny," Jamie laughed. "Unless you have a hollow leg or something." "Beating up my drums burns energy, apparently." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sat_by_the_fire 2017-04-04 06:22 am UTC (link)
	Lena snorted at Roxanna changing the subject back to dessert. "Hey, I reckon. I burned mad energy dancing around with my violin." "I should stand up while I play my piano. Shake my ass at the same time," Jayden joked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flare_star 2017-04-04 06:38 am UTC (link)
	Roxanna pointed at Lena, as if to say, 'See, you get me'. "I mean, I play with my whole body, and so do you. Thus: I eat a lot. Plus, life's too short to skip dessert." Both Jame and David looked over at him, at each other, and they both laughed. "Well it looks like both of us think you could give it a try," David said. (Reply to this) (Parent)
