I recommend the CD. Author's note: this tale is dedicated to my gay brothers, the ones in love, the ones who set up house together. For Mitch ;-) ************************************** Picket Fences (snippet from Lavender-Gman story) How it began: Well, it began with a video tape, a closeted gay federal employee and a Russian spy. Mulder thought he was a happy man until the day his porn infatuation got him to finally realize his secret hunger. Of course he would never be the same after watching the amatuer gay video featuring the hot Russian star named : Ivan Kumchek. After that night, Mulder had to admit his homosexuality. And when Alex Krycek's cum hit his face, it was like cupid's arrow. They were never to be apart, not even in death. For even then, they shared one urn. An urn that now stood upon the mantel of the house they lived for over 30 years. The house now belonged to their granddaughter, she and her lesbian girlfriend sat in the living room and watched video tapes of the famous grandfathers Alex and Fox. The tv screened showed both men smiling and waving at the camera. A red ribbon was across the door of their new home, by their side was their best friends Dana and her fiance Walter Skinner. The girls held hands and smiled, if they only knew the events that would lead up to that wonderful day. The events that lead up to that day: "Get your FAGGOT ass back here Mulder!" Alex yelled at his lover. The shout shook the walls of the small apartment they shared in Alexandria. Krycek was sick of cleaning up after Mulder. The apartment was already small and he was a fucking slob. Krycek was not a neat freak but leaving his fucking empty Fleet enema bottle on the floor was beyond DISGUSTING! "Fuck you , who you calling a faggot, faggot?" Mulder said, crossing his arms staring at his lover. "Mulder this apartment is small. Why must you be a slob? Look at that bathroom dammit. I am constantly picking up your shit. I am not your fucking maid!" Krycek said between clenched teeth. "Well FINE! Geeze, Alex. Sorry." Mulder said and began to clean up. When he was sure Alex had turned his back he muttered under his breath, "bitch". Alex thought he heard something but shook his head and went to clean the kitchen. They been living in the little apartment for years now. They were a committed, loving couple. They had a strong circle of friends and family that supported their love. Even the neighbors accepted the two men, it only took Krycek to show his 9mm twice to reinforce their 'tolerance'. Krycek decided to bring the subject up after their lovemaking about moving. More events: Mulder grunted and moaned as his lover rode his ass hard. Alex kept his thrust short and hard into Fox's asshole. They had after the years developed a synchronized rthymn that was their own. After a while, Mulder felt the thrusts but knew Alex was not paying attention. "Alex?" Mulder said softly. His lover was still thrusting like if battery operated. "Alex?" Mulder now said more strongly, he was getting pissed being fucked by a robot. "ALEX, TURN THE POWER OFF YOUR COCK!" Mulder yelled finally. "What the fuck? Mulder baby what is wrong?" he said innocently. "Wrong? My asshole is attached to me you know. What the hell were you thinking? You weren't thinking on what you were doing that is for sure." Mulder said as he dislodged Krycek from his body. The cock made its familiar plop sound and Mulder couldn't help but let out a fart. All that pumping sometimes filled him full of air and they were at the point of their relationship that farting was allowed. "I need to be the top for the next few weeks" Mulder thought to himself, and laid back on the bed. "I am sorry baby. I didn't mean to space out. I just been having this thing on my mind. There is something I want to tell you." Alex said seriously. Mulder looked at Alex and heard the serious tone. Mulder felt the dread hit him. "I see. So I guess it has happened. I guess eventually we would come to this. Who is it? Don't tell me I bet it's that little queer from downstairs! That bitch who shakes his little ass whenever he sees you. I saw the way that BITCH fucking arranges his cock in his jeans whenever you are around. I am not stupid! I might have been somewhat 'confused' about my homosexuality for over 40 years but I am NOT STUPID! I CAN SEE A BITCH IN HEAT after MY MAN! Where is my fucking GUN!" Mulder yelled after the tirade and jumped up out of bed. Mulder ripped open the dresser drawer taking out his Glock 9mm. "That bitch is DEAD. If that young, good looking queen thinks 'SHE' can walk into my life and take my LOVER." Mulder's voice was screeching and his hand shook. "MULDER CALM DOWN DAMMIT!" Alex yelled. "It isn't about that fucking little boy, it is about us buying a house! I want us to commit, to live in a house. You know, maybe a kid, a dog , maybe even a picket fence." Alex said to his lover. "Now gimme that gun honey and calm down". "A house?" Mulder said, he was finally relaxed and they were back in bed holding hands. "Yeah, Fox. A nice townhouse in some swanky, neighborhood." Alex said. "Who is going to pick it out?" Fox asked, furrowing his brow. "I met this guy at the GloryHole Bar when we went last weekend for the wet jockstrap contest I judged. He is a realtor and he loves to do business with 'family'." Alex said. "Do I know this guy?" Mulder asked. "Yeah, remember, he was packing 8 inches of uncut cockmeat in that pink jockstrap. Nice dude, great personality." Alex said and Mulder nodded, remembering the guy all too well. More more events: "Mulder what are you and Alex up to tonight?" Scully asked as she grabbed her suitcase. "Well we decided to buy a house together. We are meeting the realtor tonight." Mulder said. Mulder waved his hand in front of Scully's frozen face. "She seems to go blank a lot when I mention stuff about Alex" Mulder thought. After a few moments Scully came to and smiled at her friend. "Good luck Mulder. Invite me to the house warming party." she said and shaking her head ran out of the office. That night they were sitting around the small apartment answering questions about themselves. The realtor smiled with each question and looked around the small apartment. "I must say, I don't blame you guys wanting to move. This place reminds me of my 2nd lover's coffin." the handsome but a bit effeminate man said smiling. Mulder and Krycek looked at each other and shrugged. The guy was weird and they weren't sure how to handle the situation. "Now Fox and Alex, do you both plan to buy this place together? Legally I mean." the man asked giving them a toothy smile again. "yes!" They both responded at once. "Super duper boys. I have to tell you, it is a good idea. It will make your commitment more solid. The sharing of a home makes a relationship so real. I know, it helped me with my 1st 'husband' , after he died, the property of course belonged to me." the man said and smiled at them. "Which reminds me, a will is another important issue for any couple. Makes certain matters easier incase of any unfortunate circumstances. I know I got burned out of my share from my 3rd 'husband' after he passed. Bless his soul." Mulder and Krycek's eyes were wide open by now. "How many fucking husbands has this dude buried?" Krycek thought to himself. "I am sorry to hear about your.....uh...lovers.I guess the virus has killed many." Mulder said nervously. "Virus? Oh they didn't have AIDS." the realtor said and smiled at the boys. "Ok, boys. I think we will begin the house hunting this weekend. It should be a killer day." the realtor said and stood up to leave. They walked the man out and bolted the door. "I think we just met a gay version of the black widow spider." Mulder said aloud. They both laughed nervously and went to bed. They spent the entire weekend looking at different homes and townhomes. Some neighborhoods were too rich for them others were even scary for a man like Krycek. He didn't want to have to wear a kevlar vest just to leave his house. They were going to give up after a few other weekends doing the same thing when the realtor spoke up. "You know, there is this one house. It needs a bit fixing but it is affordable and a dream. It has the most beautiful bookshelves and high vault ceilings. Gorgeous wood floors and a fireplace in the master bedroom and in the living room." he said smiling. "That sounds fantastic! Take us!" Mulder and Alex told the realtor. "Ok." he said and drove to it. The neighborhood was clean and quiet. The townhouses were of different tasteful hues and you heard a small dog barking now and then. Mulder fell in love instantly. Krycek noticed what his lover didn't. Each home had a large rainbow flag beside their door. Rows and rows of rainbow flags, rainbow stickers, rainbow doormats. The dog that barked had a rainbow collar. It was a GAY NEIGHBORHOOD! "Mulder, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Alex said. The realtor explained that this was THE gayest and most well respected neighborhood in Virgina. That on this block lived some of the most influential gay people in DC. There were lawyers, doctors, bankers, movie stars, activists and lobbyists. That last group got a sneer from Mulder. They walked into the townhouse that was up for sale. Krycek now couldn't help but fall in love. It was beautiful and spacious and begging for love and care. It had enough bedrooms for a child if they finally commited on that and a guest bedroom. The fireplace only made his cock twitch, as he pictured eating Mulder's asshole by firelight. "Well baby?" Alex asked Mulder, grabbing his hand tenderly. "OH Alex, I love it. It is us. I can hear it speak to me. I have a feeling this is where we will live, love, and die." Mulder said softly to his lover. "Well guys?" the realtor asked. "SOLD!" They said smiling, Mulder shed a small tear. "Great! This house belonged to my 5th husband, I been looking for the perfect couple for this place. Now I found it. I am only next door too. This is wonderful, welcome NEIGHBOR!" The realtor said and was shocked when both men fainted. "Hmmm, and they looked so butch to me." The realtor shaking his head. The end. maybe more snippets to cum ;-)~
