Untouchable: Chapter 35: Double Dating: Xander
"Thanks Paul, again for dinner, I need to cook for
you, or something," Xander said parking Paul's car by Sean's place."It's ok, I'm happy that I can provide good
food," Paul said.Xander nudged Paul's shoulder with his, "you're acts
of servicing all over me, I want to do something for you.""Fine tell me about your childhood," Paul said."Oh you want to hear about it?" Xander asked."Yeah, I want to know you," Paul said."Great, I was planning on picking up my photo
albums, it makes the stories so much better," Xander said."Well your place is only forty minutes from
here," Paul said."Uhm, It's at Sean's, I kind of live with him,"
Xander said, "I didn't realize how codependent I was till a week
ago-ish.""Oh... well, let's go get it," Paul said
looking around as if just realizing where they were."Yeah you want too?" Xander asked getting out
of the car."Well you want to share it and I want to know
you," Paul said."Ok you'll be the first to see it," Xander said
taking Paul's paw as he got out of the car."Then you definitely have to show me," Paul said
nuzzling into the crook of Xander's shoulder.Xander got a text from Sharron, "sorry is it ok, if
I check this?" Xander asked, holding Paul as they walked up the entry way."Yeah it's fine, I want to gossip about our date
with Jill," Paul said pulling out his phone.Sharron's message read, "So did my mom find Sean?"He replied, "I don't know, I've been on a
date."She messaged back right away, "she stopped at Sean's
place to use the bathroom, before she was going to head over to Oliver's and I
haven't heard from her since.""Well I'm just outside Sean's, I'll let you know if
I see her," Xander messaged.He glanced over at Paul's phone and read. Jill messaged, "that's so cute you have to tell me
about the stories!!!"Paul messaged, "I think I'll tell him while he's showing
me the album."Jill messaged, "that's perfect!! Well we're are
still only at a 73% probability of success."Paul messaged, "squeak-3PO, never tell me the odds,
and that's pretty high."Jill messaged, "it still makes me ner-" "Stop reading my texts just because you're taller
than me!" Paul said elbowing Xander's diaphragm gently."Sorry, so you have something you want to tell
me?" Xander asked.Paul narrowed his eyes, "not anymore.""Yeah you do, all I read was it's something that has
a 73% chance of happening," Xander said leading them up the stairs."It is a secret, well sort of Oliver knows, but he
met Jill a month ago, so couldn't really hide it." Paul said."What is it, is it the thing you've been all nervous
about telling me?" Xander asked."Yeah it's very personal," Paul said but didn't
say more."So did you hear that Sean's on an allergy med, I
guess he and Oliver are finally getting their chance," Xander said feeling
uncomfortable.Paul wilted under Xander's arm a little."What's wrong?" Xander asked."Oh it's silly, I had a crush on Oliver, and I know
you do for Sean... and now there together, that just feels weird," Paul said."Yeah I always thought we might.., or he'd come
around and want me again like he did in high school, but I guess things
change," Xander said pulling out the key to Sean's door.Xander opened the door and startled seeing Momma Miller
in full Alpha mode. Sean, and Oliver
were there too."Xander what's up, looks like moms getting to vet
both of our dates," Sean said from under a couch cushion. "We can come back later," Xander said trying to
shut the door but Paul had stepped inside."Hello ma'am, you're Sean's mom right, I'm Paul,"
Paul said."Yes I'm Stephanie Miller Sean's mom and practically
a second mother to Xander," Momma Miller said, "Get inside here Xander
no running off, now."Xander sighed unable to ditch Paul because that would be
more awkward then this was going to be, at least he hoped. "Paul come have a seat," Oliver said pulling
out a kitchen table chair.Xander slunk to the couch, "Shove over, Sean."Sean sat up ears down, but he was smiling."What has you so happy?" Xander asked."Misery loves company, so why were you coming
over?" Sean asked, while Momma Miller asked Paul his intentions towards
Baby Xander."I wanted to show Paul the photo albums," Xander
said, "Your sister said Momma Miller might be here but I didn't expect
full charge Alpha mode.""It's mom what do you expect, the Albums are on the
bookshelf where you left your soda last time you were here," Sean said.Xander watch the cats and Momma Miller at the table, then
asked, "Woah Sean, Oliver and your mom carry themselves the same, Sean did
you notice that?""Yeah dude, thanks, I noticed," Sean said
unhappily."There's nothing wrong with that is there?" Xander
asked."No... I guess... Well yes actually he's pragmatic
too, I don't know how I didn't see it before, I can't date my mom in cat
form," Sean said."Oh so you want to be a father soon that's wonderful,
Xander's very nurturing," Momma Miller said behind them."I should probably let your sister know that your
moms here," Xander said."The meddlesome bitches," Sean muttered."Sean Richard Miller watch you're language,"
Momma Miller snapped then continued her chat with Oliver and Paul as if she hadn't
been interrupted."Sean our first time going on an unplanned double
date sure sucks," Xander said."Yeah her being here has me feeling all
nauseous," Sean said."Should we be sitting with them?" Xander asked."No remember prom!" Sean said."Yeah that was just as bad, probably would have gone
faster if we had just gone together," Xander said."I know Sharron was pissed that you went with
someone else," Sean said."It worked out she got her powerful door mat just
like she always wanted," Xander said."Zach's nice but yeah a total door mat, it's a good
thing he likes her, he couldn't escape if he didn't," Sean said. The silence from the kitchen tied Xander's stomach in
knots."Sean turn around and tell me what's going on?"
Xander asked."Not a chance dude, mom caught me groping and making
out with Oliver in bed, I'm not going to chance it," Sean said.The icy paw of death herself gripped their shoulders,
Momma Miller said, "Come join us in the kitchen, it's your turn.""Sean you go first, Momma Miller lets do coffee, Paul
and I want to go through the photo albums," Xander said in a rush."Oh the albums, yes lets look at them, bring them
over," Momma Miller said."But mom we were both on dates," Sean whined."What I saw was pre-pre-marital relations, so stop
sulking and come to the table.Sean and Xander carried over the four albums and glared
at the catty smirks that Oliver and Paul greeted them with."Your moms really nice Sean," Oliver said."Yeah she reminds me of my mom, just taller and not
feline," Paul said.Sean and Xander shared a dubious look.Sean whispered, "They're brain washed already, I told
you mom's a dark lord of the Sith."Xander laughed."What was that?" Momma Miller asked."Oh just said your very persuasive, mom," Sean said.
Oliver got a chair for them. Then returned to his seat
across from Momma Miller. Xander and Sean's chairs were across from Paul.Sean grimaced as he sat."Are you ok?" Oliver asked."Yeah just a stomach cramp."That's a clear sign of a guilty conscience, he
should definitely go first?" Xander said.Sean pinched Xander's thigh making him yelp."No you're the guest here you go first," Sean
growled."Boys, will I have to separate you two," Momma
Miller said."They seem to be regressing around her," Oliver
whispered less than subtly to Paul."I wanted to know about his childhood, but this is a
bit excessive," Paul whispered to Oliver."Boys these nice young men seem to have good
intentions toward you, despite being a tad promiscuous," Momma Miller said
looking at Paul who threw his ears back avoiding Xander's eyes, making Xander
sink in his seat.
After letting Paul and Xander wallow in discomfort, Momma
Miller asked, "Sean I need a few things cleared up, why are you dead set
on dating Oliver when you and Xander are both in love with each other?"
