corrigan keaton didn’t have a fairytale life. he was the tragic example of an orphan, one who never really had much and nearly lost it all. when he was first brought into this life, his mother was there for approximately two days before leaving his father and giving him the sole rights to their child. she wanted nothing to do with the two of them but that was expected. she was hard up and was addicted to cocaine. whatever she could do to run from her problems, was her groundwork of a good plan for her. cori’s father wasn’t the best example to live by either and that was because he was manic depressive and was often drunk more hours of the day, then sober. on top of that – he’d push the boy around like he meant nothing to him and truthfully, he didn’t. corrigan hated coming home after school and would often sit in the park for hours at a time because the sooner he went home, the scarier things got. it wasn’t until he met his best friend that things started improving for him. the other kept him on a narrow path and didn’t allow him to do things that would have led him to things such as juvie or constantly committing a string of crimes. it was clearly apparent that the two boys were from different sides of the tracks but they could work past that. they knew what they needed to be happy and that was each other. their friendship was almost ruined though when cori’s father passed away and the fourteen year old found his entire world falling apart. they were going to put him in the system and hope there was a foster family out there for him. when they finally found one, his friend actually ended up talking his parents into adopting the boy and then he became one of them. it was odd staying in such a perfect home but it was something he grew accustomed to. he was thankful for everything they gave him but there was a problem and that was the drug use. he’d started popping pills at the age fifteen and other hard drugs came soon after. his friend noticed the habit, especially when they started together but the other had stopped. now the two of them battled over that problem and though he loved the other and would do anything for him, he couldn’t stop. he’d tried. resting beside the other in bed, he breathed in and took in the smell of the other. he smelled clean and made him feel safe. with that he planted a kiss upon his neck, kissing him softly before muttering the words, ”are you awake?” as he let his hand fall to the others chest.

mason grew up in a wealthy home, getting everything his heart desired. all he had to do was ask his parents for money and he could buy anything he wanted. well, of course there was a limit. his parents weren't okay with him buying expensive useless things he would never use anyway, which mason had a tendency to buy. apart from the money, he had been lucky with his parents as well. they were probably the nicest people you could ever meet. however, they were never home a lot. his father was always on business trips doing god knows what, and his mother was always out, being with her friends or on holidays. especially when mason grew older they left him alone a lot. it was then when he had met his best friend, cori. mason had seen him sitting at the park bench quite a lot, and one day he just decided to walk up to him and start a conversation. it almost seemed naturally how they started talking, and ever since then they've never left each other’s sides. mason even managed to convince his parents to adopt his friend. at first they had been resistant, but when the young boy started complaining about how he was always alone, they gave them their word and adopted the other male into their family. nevertheless, it hadn't all been perfect. when cori and him started experimenting on drugs, they kind of went overboard with it. or well, cori did. his friend was still hooked on them and mason hated it. he had told the other male a million times that he needed to stop, and gave him a billion reason why, but he refused. mason had even been to the point where he had suggested rehab if the problem was that he just couldn't stop. it had all didn't help however, and his friend was still using drugs. even if he didn't let mason notice, he knew it anyway. how could he not? they were close as brothers, so of course he knew when his friend was high or not. "what?" he muttered into his pillow as he heard the male next to him say something. mason had never been a fast sleeper, and the smallest things would wake him up. however, that didn't mean he actually liked being woken up in the middle of the night. he turned around to look at cori. "i am now." he said annoyingly. "what do you want?" he asked, his voice sounding a bit husky, hoping that he hadn't been woken up because of some stupid reason. knowing cori however, he was afraid that might be the case.

corrigan keaton knew that he should have been asleep but there was too much excitement lingering within him. for the entire week – the two of them would have the house all to themselves and that meant there was so many different possibilities on how they could spend their time together. in the back of his mind, the two of them could have a nonstop party or could simply have fun on their own. cori didn’t need people coming over and having fun with him, especially when all he needed was mason. with the chances of doing something exciting slim to none, the man had decided to make the most of their time together and that meant possibly a little play with the other man. they’d hooked up before and in some ways, corrigan was pretty sure they were dating but neither of them placed a label on them. simply because they didn’t want mason’s overprotect parents flipping their shit and creating a big scene. that didn’t stop them from sleeping together in the same room and other things from developing but it was much harder to get away from things when the boy’s parents were right down the hall. placing his lips upon the others smooth warm skin, corrigan continued to move his mouth against the spot where the others neck met his shoulder and that excited the hell out of him. ”sorry about waking you up but we finally have the place to ourselves.” whispered the teenager with a wicked smile upon his lip and with that his hand pressed against the others chest. with the other being half asleep, cori wasn’t sure the other would actually understand what he was insinuating but with a few more gestures the other would quickly become fully awake and ready to play with him. ”come on now, don’t leave me hanging.” he said as he moved closer to the man as his hands fell to his stomach and slowly moved to the brim of the others underwear, giving him every chance to understand what could happen here.

mason had been aware of the fact that his parents would be gone for a week. that they would have the house for themselves. however, that didn't mean he was going to stay up night and day because nobody was there to tell him otherwise. mason actually enjoyed sleeping. it was his way to find piece and quietness around here. he needed it, especially when cori had moved in with them. the house had never been the same. he didn't mind cori being around of course, but sometimes he missed how he could just be on his own and do whatever he felt like - although he still did whatever the hell he wanted even thought cori was around, but things had been different nevertheless. however, mason had grown used to the fact that his friend was now with him night and day, and he wasn't complaining, at all. he loved to feel close to the other and be around him, even though cori could annoy the hell out of him as well. even though mason was still a bit annoyed with the other for waking him up, he was soon forgiven when he felt how the boy kissed him. "mhmm." he murmured, loving the feeling of the other's lips against him, a shudder running down his spine. mason closed his eyes for a moment, before opening them again, not wanting to fall back asleep. "you are aware of the fact that we have the whole week to ourselves, right?" he said softly, not fully aware what cori was actually implying just yet. however, that changed when he felt how cori moved closer to him. how his hand ran down his chest, stopping at the brim of his underwear. a smirk formed on his face. "you really want to do this now?" he chuckled slightly at the other, allowing his finger to run over the other's jawline playfully, amused by the fact that cori couldn't even wait one day to be with him. it was satisfying to know that the other wanted him that bad.

corrigan wasn’t that perceptive to how people felt about him. thankfully though, the teenager was growing used to the notion and was trying much harder than before to not be a nuisance. besides it was those people that couldn’t learn their place and ended up out there in the streets. biding his time until he could afford to move out on his own, the teenager promised himself that he would do everything in his power to make this work. whenever he sensed that he was getting on his best friends nerves, he’d simply turn around and head in the opposite direction. some evenings the teenager didn’t even come home right after school but would stay out a few hours until his curfew kicked in – so that the other could have a few hours without him. that was the least that cori could do so that he didn’t feel like he was always imposing on the boys personal space. as the two of them rested in bed though, this was a different story because for the most part the two of them were together in an intimate fashion. they’d been that way for hours and with each afternoon it got more serious. the only thing that was odd about them was how they never told anyone about them. like they wanted to keep this secret for their own recollection and no one else had a right to know about them. feeling the hum of the others lips against his own, cori smiled and pulled away as he bit into his bottom lip. there was one thing that he liked about their relationship the most and that was how he could get the other to react to him in such a sensual manner. it made him feel special but naughty all at the same time. ”it’s not often that we get that luxury and you know it. when you’re parents are here how often do we actually get to do this?” he asked the other proving appoint right now. it was true though and that could be partly because his folks hung around waiting to catch them doing such a thing under their roof. feeling the others smooth muscles under his finger tips, corrigan chuckled when the other asked him if he really wanted to do this and with that he shook his head. did he really even need to ask? with that his fingers slowly teased the edge of the others waistband before finally slipping under the material. it only took him a moment to find what he was looking for and with excitement coursing through his veins, the boy slowly stroked the other before leaning in toward the other. ”does that answer your question?” he asked before lining another kiss upon the others lips, this time adding a bit more pressure.

mason appreciated the fact that cori gave him some personal space whenever the other was getting on his nerves. however, most of the time he liked being around the other male and hanging out with him. mason had really no idea what he would do without cori. it was true he had other friends besides cori, but no one knew him better than his best friend. there was really no secret he kept from the other and he was just able to fully be himself around the other. the relationship they had was actually kind of weird. they weren't exactly dating, but they weren't just best friends either. they were something more. however, they never actually spoke about what it was they had with one another, and they didn't really feel like it was anyone’s business apart from themselves. they were intimate, that was true, but to the world they were just two close friends. nevertheless, that wasn't exactly the case, and sometimes mason suspected that his parents knew that they weren't just friends, although they had never fully implied that. nevertheless, whatever the two boys had, it was something special, and mason liked that. it was something only the two of them knew about. it was their little secret. sometimes it was actually really exciting to have to sneak around so his parents wouldn't find out, but to have the whole house to themselves and be able to do whatever they felt like was even better. "i know. but that doesn't take away the fact that we have the whole house to ourselves for a whole week, so we can pretty much do this whenever we feel like." he said with a small chuckle, liking the fact that they would have a whole week alone, to spend with each other, doing god knows what. of course they could throw a party as well, but something said that they weren't going to do such a thing. besides, his parents would probably find out and he would be grounded while what they were doing now was much more entertaining than throwing a stupid party where he was going to be punished for later on anyway. a smirk formed on his face when he saw how cori bit his lip. "you look sexy when you bite your lip, you know that?" he told the other, his smirk growing wider when he felt how the other boys hands moved under the fabric of his boxers and started to stroke him. "maybe." he whispered against cori's lips, a low moan escaping his lips when the strokes continued. mason allowed his tongue to roam the other's mouth while his hand moved through the boy's hair, pressing the boy closer to him.

there was something about mason that drove the man absolutely wild. he’d never admit that to the other man, knowing that he’d use that against him from time to time but surely the other didn’t have to vocalize such things, when actions spoke louder than words. hell. with the two of them doing everything together, sleeping together, and even constantly in a state of arousal around each other – it was apparent there was some unseen connection between the two of them that neither could deny, even though they constantly did. corrigan knew that possibly in the future things with them might become more open to the public but for now the two best friends were content with their relationship and what it was. with no strings to bind them to anything, they could easily wonder out into the real world on their own and never feel an ounce of regret. however that wasn’t entirely true and that was because since the first time that he’d actually been with mason, he’d never been with another man in such an intimate manner. yes, there were times where he might have been high and made out with a man, or the occasional act carried out to get drugs but it never went all the way. even for a drug user, corrigan had his limits and there were just some things he’d never do for drugs. at least not yet. breathing in softly, taking in the scent of the other man as they rested their beside each other, corrigan couldn’t help but welcome the other closer, especially since they were free to be a little more forward than usual. “very valid point but since we’re practically celibate when your parents are here, i’d like to take advantage of the situation and get a head start on things.” he laughed softly to himself as he moved his head onto the others shoulder where he applied a kiss for the benefit of the other. knowing that the two of them would be playing saintly for the next week, corrigan was even more tempted to make the most of the evening and their first morning of waking up together. as the other commented on his gesture of biting his lip, cori chuckled once more. ”yeah i do but you’re sexier when you allow me to take advantage of you.” he told the other as his hand still gripped the others length and was steadily stroking him. feeling the moan against his lip as the other answered his question, corrigan shook his head in displeasure. ”i’m going to need a yes.” he said as he rolled over slightly to straddle the man, before kissing the other one last time, while he moved his mouth to the others jaw, where his tongue traced patterns down the others chest, one pausing to tease his nipples as his hand continued to stroke the other, wanting nothing then to be closer to him than before.
