[The boys are heading to Jasper, Texas to fetch El’s mother and brothers after her month-long stay to aid an ill friend. In their first hour they deal with sleepiness, jealousy, and Keith totes being an exhibitionist. Light, script-style roleplaying; adult content. Part 1 of many~] 

Ellis: “Baby~ *Croons as he enters the still-darkened bedroom, carrying a lid-enclosed mug of black coffee and a papertowel-wrapped breakfast roll, flipping the light on with his elbow to rouse his older lover* S’almost five, man, y’all gotta get up.”

Keith: “*Keith’s sleeping expression scrunches up before turning his face into the pillow to shield his face from the artificial light* Mmm. *mumbles into the pillow, going still after a moment*”

Ellis: “*Grins, wide and happy, as he sets Keith’s breakfast on the bedside table and crawls up onto the bed instead, straddling his boyfriend over the ripple of blankets* Keeeeeeeith.”

Keith: “*mumbles more into the pillow before lifting his head and talking properly, voice thick with sleep* Didn’t we jus go tuh bed?”

Ellis: “‘Bout six hours ago, give ‘er take sum. *Sniggers lightly as he leans down, tucking himself over Keith’s larger frame, nuzzling affectionately at the scarred line of his jaw* Wake up fer me, baby.. *Purrs, nipping at his skin*”

Keith: “*flails his arm as if to smack Ellis away, but merely groans again* M’up… *wriggles underneath the brunette’s weight, but quickly relaxes again, eyes managing to flutter open*”

Ellis: “There’s them purdy blues. *Beams as he rocks up into a sitting position, rolling off of the older male and standing beside the bed again* Coffee an’ sum eggs an’ bacon in uh flat bread thang fer yew. *Tugs the blanket off of him, sprawling it on the end of the bed*”

Keith: “*curls into himself as the blanket is cast away, muttering a few curses under his breath before he sits up, rubbing at his eyes* S’still dark… *voice almost lifts into a whine before he clears his throat, swinging his legs off the edge of the bed*”

Ellis: “*Slides down on his knees at the side of the bed, running his palms over Keith’s calves as he perches his chin on Keith’s knee, offering a sunshine-bright smile in place of actual sunlight* Ah ‘ppreciate yew comin’ with me.. it’ll light up soon.”

Keith: “*offers a slow smile at him, stretching his arms above his head with a few quiet cracks* A’course darlin….I dun wan’chu goin’ alone again.”

Ellis: “Now Ah dun mean tuh rush yew but we gotta head out here real’ soon if we wanna make it there a’fore eleven. Figgure maybe Ah outta drive fer uh spell til yer coffee kicks in? *Nuzzles at his stomach, casaully affectionate as he talks* Reckon Ah outta got yew up but weren’t no reason tuh be draggin’ th’both uh us ‘cross town jus’ fer uh rental car.”

Keith: “M’fine. *waves off the suggestion, petting at the brown curls before gently pushing his head away, standing up off the bed to throw on the clothes he had laid out before sleeping* And yew got the car already? *becomes more alert the more he moves, although slightly clumsy as he fights on a pair of jeans*”

Ellis: “Yeah, they had sumbody up there since Ah reserved it fer four A.M. *Rocks back on his heels, still remaining crouched as he watches Keith get dressed; reaches out to soothe the momentary struggle with Keith’s jeans, tugging the legs over his feet and shuffling the denim up enough to ease Keith’s way* They got car storage so Ah jus’ left Mom’s there. *Stands as he steals the redhead’s coffee, taking the first sip himself*”

Keith: “Thanks. *mutters in slight embarrassment, adjusting his pants before pulling on a simple white undershirt and a deep green collared long sleeved shirt* Hay… *doesn’t bother pulling up his sleeves, reaching to take the coffee from Ellis* S’mine.”

Ellis: “*Surrenders the coffee immediately, grinning broadly as he tucks his hands into the pockets of his jeans instead* Well okay, man, ain’t gonna argue none. Butchu got summin uh mine, too.”

Keith: “*happily takes a few sips of coffee, murmuring appreciatively at the rich and bold taste, humming in question at the brunette’s last statement*”

Ellis: “Mah good mornin’ kiss. *Raises up on his toes to lick the heat and taste from Keith’s mouth, not minding the lack of brushed teeth; bounces back, giving Keith’s ass a swat around his hip* C’mon, handsome, we gottuh road tuh hit.”

Keith: “*eyelids lower at the affectionate gesture, laughing softly at the curt love tap* M’kay… *smiles in a much better mood, rushing to finish getting ready while juggling his coffee and grabbing the rest of his breakfast* Let’s git goin’!”

Ellis: “Aw hell yes! *Zips away from him, flitting through the house to double check appliances and window locks, grabbing a thick leather case of CDs from the couch and bouncing up to meet him at the door* Man s’too bad we couldn’ awl fit awn th’bike.”

Keith: “*chuckles around his breakfast, washing it down with more coffee as he rolls his shoulders and joins Ellis* That would be funny as hell tuh try.”

Ellis: “Man next time we go cross-state, Ah wanna take ‘er. *Locks up the house, giving the knob a good jiggle to check* Tha’d be so cool, jus’ yew, me, an’ th’beauty.. *Giggles as he tromps to the SUV currently residing in the driveway, popping open the passenger door and tossing the CD case in the back before climbing in* C’mon, slow poke!”

Keith: “*chuckles as he wipes his mouth and jogs towards the rental car, taking longer gulps of his coffee as he settles into the driver’s seat and motioning for the keys with a grin* Keys if ya would, baby?”

Ellis: “*Grins and tosses them over as he slumps low in his seat, clipping his belt over as if the gesture is automatic; thumbing out a text as he talks* If yew git awn tuh I-16 headed west.. *gestures vaguely* that’ll take us down fer awhile.”

Keith: “*catches the keys with only a slight fumble, putting down his coffee in the cup holder to buckle his own seat belt and starting the ignition of the SUV, pulling out to follow as Ellis instructed* Sure thang! *eyes glint in excitement, laughing* This’s th’first time I’ve been actually happy tuh go awn th’road fer hours…”

Ellis: “*The comment distracts him from his phone, a surprised smile falling like dawn on his features* Yew mean tha’?”

Keith: “Sure do. *doesn’t take a chance to glance at Ellis, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel before reaching down and taking another swig of coffee* Prolly change m’mind six hours in and seein’ nuthin but desert. Haw.”

Ellis: “*Bends his knees to plant his boot-clad feet on the dash, thighs sprawled open carelessly as he resumes pegging away at his phone* Ain’t too bad. Got real’ borin’ comin’ back by mahself when Ah was tired, but we’ll jus’ stop at uh hotel ‘er summin tuhnight if we gotta.. ‘sides, yew got me tuh keep yew company. *Raises his eyebrows*”

Keith: “Mmm… *doesn’t respond directly to Ellis besides a thoughtful hum, eyes shifting to see him from the corner of his eye* Not if yer awn yer phone. *chuckles under his breath*”

Ellis: “Nick’s car wuddn’t in his driveway. *Pauses, then drops the phone in his lap, turning to beam at Keith instead* He ain’t answerin’ anyhow.”

Keith: “Oh, great. *rolls his eyes with a snort, smile souring*”

Ellis: “*Frowns slowly, lowering his feet from the dash as his expression shutters with uncertainty*”

Keith: “*sighs through his nose, navigating the car through light traffic to merge on the highway, eyebrows furrowed and jaw tense*”

Ellis: “Ya know he’s jus’ uh friend uh mine, yew dun gotta be awl bent outta shape cos m’tryin’ tuh make sure he ain’t in uh DITCH sumplace. *Grumbles, shoving his phone into his pocket with a snort*”

Keith: “Yea. *sharply answers, chewing the inside of his cheek, his foot pressing down a little harder than necessary to accelerate on the stretch of road* I know.”

Ellis: “*Clicks his chair back a little, resolutely planting his feet on the dash again* Well Ah ain’t gonna not talk tuh him so. Yew wanna tell me whatcher problem is?”

Keith: “*grinds his teeth for a moment in silence, right hand tightening over the steering wheel before he answers with a measured tone* Ya sure git involved in his life.”

Ellis: “Cos he’s mah friend an’ he don’t got nobody else. *Frowns, brief flutter of anger relaxing into a soft frown* He an’ Mom git along real’ good an’ Arden calls him Dad more’n he uses his name. Ah’m not gonna ‘pologize jus’ cos yew ‘n half th’internet think erry dude with uh scar awn his nose outta have uh Nick up their ass. *Huffs, lightly* He’s an asshole, ain’t like tha’.”

Keith: “Well ya sure awn his. *snaps back without hesitation, wincing after the words leave his mouth*”

Ellis: “Ya done CAUGHT ME, Keith. *Snorts, his voice rasping dry as paper* Me an’ Nick got us uh LOVE connection.”

Keith: “*snarls quietly* I wouldn’t doubt it.”

Ellis: “….Keith. *Deadpans lowly*”

Keith: “Yew dun care bout any of yer friends like that guy. *hisses low, shoulders rising from tension* And yew fuckin’ know it.”

Ellis: “Did Ah accidentally put sum ‘be uh stupid dickhead’ powder in yer coffee th’s’mornin’, man? *Sits up, cramming a hand up under his hat to card his fingers through his hair, eyes fixed firmly on the road* Yer bein’ stupid. He’s mah FRIEND, he’s uh goddamn alcoholic an’ he don’t got nobody tuh look after ‘im. Yew got summin goin’ awn wit Dave?”

Keith: “I ain’t all up in Dave’s business like yew with Nick. Hell, ya wanna take care’of’im, take’im off Square’s hands. *speeding dangerously high with the SUV, zooming past and zigzagging though the occasional car and semi truck* M’sick of yew actin’ like he’s yers tuh take care of.”

Ellis: “Aw, this is RICH, man. *Snorts, shaking his head, his features drawn into a look of disgust* Pull th’damn car over. Righ’ now. Gas station righ’ there.”

Keith: “No. *immediately responds, but eases the gas drastically to exit on the off ramp Ellis indicated, relaxing a bit of his tensed features on a drawn out breath*”

Ellis: “*Crosses his arms, jumping his foot a little as he waits for Keith to pull into the cramped lot beside the gas station* Turn th’car off an’ step outside with me fer uh sec.”

Keith: “*hesitates on the unexpected instructions, but again complies, face only slightly sour as he pulls out the keys and pockets them, quickly throwing open the door and climbing out*”

Ellis: “*Slides out, letting the belt hang loose out the open door as he steps into the patchy grass that stretches in the empty lot beside the station, back-stepping a few paces and lifting his arms* Okay, Keith. Yew got sum kinda problem, think Ah’m up tuh summin? Look me in th’fuckin eyes an’ tell me.”

Keith: “*crosses his arms the best he can manage with his cast-clad left arm as he faces Ellis and meets his gaze evenly* I already told’jew.”

Ellis: “Tell me again.”

Keith: “*sneers* Ya act like it’s yer job tuh care take’of’im.”

Ellis: “S’mah job cos Ah choose fer it tuh be, Keith. Ah don’t leave mah friends behind if Ah can help it, an’ he’s so far under s’gonna take uh goddamn forklift tuh pick his ass up. Ah ain’t never been interested in him like tha’, toldju yer th’firs’, an’ unless yer trust bullshit’s awn mah words an’ not jus’ mah promises, yew outta know tha’. *Pauses to drag in a trembling breath, gray eyes roiling with anger, his mouth twisted in a scowl*”

Keith: “*bites back anymore words, rushing at Ellis as if to tackle but stops a few inches short of colliding into him, knocking his hat off and grabbing a fistful of brown curls, crashing their mouths together*”

Ellis: “*Grunts in surprise but shoves his tongue in Keith’s mouth, planting his hands on Keith’s shoulders to push him back against the SUV’s silver door, growling as he kisses back angrily*”

Keith: “*pushes back aggressively, wrestling Ellis’ tongue with his own and shoving a knee between Ellis’ legs*”

Ellis: “*Groans, shoving his fingers into Keith’s hair, the action yanking the redhead’s hairband free; pulls away, panting roughly, twisting against the older male’s knee* Why th’HELL’S it so hard tuh accept sumbody jus’ wantin’ one person ‘round here? Goddamn.”

Keith: “Cus m’a possessive bastard. *says in a breathless rush before sealing his lips over Ellis’ once more, tugging the brown hair harshly to tilt his head for a full lip lock, pressing his knee firmly against Ellis’ groin*”

Ellis: “*Groans into his mouth as his hair is pulled, lips parting in immediate obedience as he rocks his erection against Keith’s leg, gripping the hair at the base of Keith’s skull aggressively* So be possessive uh mah bed, not mah phone, man. *Bites Keith’s lower lip, growling*”

Keith: “*groans as his mouth parts at his hair being pulled, eyes half lidded* M’possessive of /yew/. *swings his body weight so that they switch positions, pushing his thigh against Ellis’ crotch as well as shoving Ellis entire body against the rental car* Yer mine.”

Ellis: “*Moans and spreads his thighs as much as he can manage, impulsively bucking against Keith’s thigh* Ain’t nobody debatin’ tha’, babe. *Angles Keith’s head down by his hair, encouraging the male to get at his arched throat* C’mon, baby, prove it. Prove it.”

Keith: “*growls low, taking the offer given and sealing his mouth over a patch of Ellis’ skin on his throat, sucking color into the skin as he rubs his thigh against Ellis*”

Ellis: “*Groans freely, carding his fingers through Keith’s hair as he’s bitten, continuing to roll his hips as he mutters breathlessly* Mmm, yeah… yer s’good tuh me, baby, jus’ need tuh relax.. ain’t got eyes fer nobody butchu… *Tilts his head back further, chewing the inside of his cheek* But we gotta git goin’, man. Ain’t really got time fer this.”

Keith: “*doesn’t answer besides a wordless growl, teeth pressing firmly into skin as he moves his thigh and releases Ellis’ hair to reach down and quickly unbutton Ellis’ jeans, shoving his hand between the loosened material and taking Ellis into his hand*”

Ellis: “Oh—shit.. uhnnnn… *Shudders, digging the heels of his boots into the grass-snaggled dirt, thrusting into Keith’s fist immediately; drops one hand to Keith’s shoulder, gripping at the material of his shirt as he whines* O—okay, holy shit, babe.. goddamn— okay, okay, Ah’ll come fer yew, fuck… jus’ hurry up… *Thumps his head back against the rented vehicle, his face going hot with color*”

Keith: “*continues to bite and nibble the brunette’s throat, cupping his dick and lowering his other hand to unzip Ellis’ jeans* Yer all mine. *breathes against his skin before pulling his mouth away from Ellis’ throat and licking his right palm, returning his hand to Ellis’ freed dick to stroke with rough tugs* Mine mine mine…”

Ellis: “Oh—gawd— *Writhes, a noise startlingly close to a mewl working free of his lips as he nudges his hips closer to his boyfriend, panting roughly when Keith boldly dampens his fingers with his mouth and drops his hand to Ellis’s cock; arches on his toes briefly, groaning loudly and putting a hand over his mouth to soften the noise*”

Keith: “*growls in approval, shifting his body to shield his love from anyone’s view that might come around in the early morning, jacking him in quick strokes* Yer all fer me…”

Ellis: “Nnnn—-Christ, Keith, m’gonna— *Rocks his hips, still muffling himself with his palm, his eyes going wide as they fix on Keith’s face, something close to reverance in the startled wonder of his gaze; comes trembling, squirming at the roughness of a too-quick orgasm, dropping his hand and surging up for a desperate kiss*”

Keith: “*meets the kiss with content growl, pumping his hand as he milks Ellis through his orgasm, uncaring of the mess his pants catches*”

Ellis: “*Licks at Keith’s mouth, the gesture decidedly submissive as he struggles to catch his breath, finally gripping Keith’s wrist when the movement of his gripping hand becomes too much* …Yer uh crazy sonofuhbitch, Keith. *Smiles breathlessly*”

Keith: “*hums, leaning close to Ellis ear and breathing hotly* If we weren’t s’pressed fer time, I’d fuck ya against this car fer everyone tuh see. *pulls away and fishes the car keys out of his pocket, smile sleazy* Yew look good n’fucked tho.”

Ellis: “*Pants roughly, slumped against the SUV with a dazed smile, lifting a hand to push sweaty curls free of his forehead* Goddamn, Keith. Lemme, uh… lemme git mah hat…”
