Zipper was Stuck

David walked with his family along the coast at Ventimiglia. They had spent the last couple of hours looking through shops and seeing the statues that were placed every so often. He could tell his dad could care less, but it made his mum happy so that was enough. David loved it. He had taken a couple of trips through his school except none of them had included Italy. Emyr was enjoying it as well especially when a secluded spot in a shop provided them with a moment for kissing.

"Are they daft?" asked Johnny, pulling David from his memory. He followed their gaze to the water where a group of people were surfing.

"Never been before," Emyr commented, "Let's get closer."

"You just want to see the blokes with their kit off," David quipped.

"Do they? I didn't notice," his boyfriend claimed with a smile.

"They are quite fit," Rhi agreed and they moved towards the beach.

"It could be fun though," Emyr spoke after a few minutes of watching.

"It's the best," said an unfamiliar voice behind them and they turned to see to see a young woman in a tiny bikini.

"I'm Analiesa, but you can call me Annie," she continued and shook her head. She had perfect, dark hair and tanned skin on a toned body and she seemed to only have eyes for his boyfriend. He disliked her already.

"My name's Emyr, this is David and his family, Rhi and Johnny," Emyr introduced and David glared at him for neglecting that crucial detail.

"I have my own board. I could show you some moves," she offered and he wondered why he hadn't noticed the cherry red board at her feet before.

"I'd love that," Emyr agreed and looked at David, "If we had some time."
So, now it was up to him and if he tried not to allow it, David would never hear the end of it.

"No, I would love to see you try," he told him and added in his head, and God willing...not get pneumonia.

"Fantastico!" she cried and took Emyr by the arm. Johnny leaned over to David.

"That one's not too bright," he commented and Rhi was frowning. There was one benefit. Emyr was stripping off his shirt and trousers so he was only in his briefs. It was too bad the water would be cold.

"He's able to stand up now, that's...something," Rhi said about fifteen minutes later. For the most part, David was enjoying this. His boyfriend was wet; the longer locks he'd teased him about looked good plastered against his skin as well as his briefs and he'd forgot how fit he was...if only he was touching him the way she was...he'd have to fix that later. He waved and Emyr waved back. Then, Annie kissed him on the lips and Emyr kissed back before pushing her away. His mouth gaped open as Emyr walked back to them across the beach. An impulse came over him to throw the clothes on the sand except he was conflicted. As angry as he was with him, he also wanted to take Emyr to the nearest secluded spot and fuck him hard. He was faced with the realization that his trousers were feeling tight and he hoped his parents didn't notice it. However, his dad was smirking.

Shit, he thought and closed his eyes for a second.

"Did you see me?" asked Emyr and shook his head; water flinging off.

"Yeah, I saw you," he replied with a glare.

"Oh, that, it meant nothing. David, she's not my type. She doesn't have a penis and she's not...you. You're the one that I want. I love you," Emyr spoke in a serious tone with concerned brown eyes. Now? They were having this now? He didn't want to do this now. Just because he didn't want Emyr to be with anyone else...

David pushed the clothes into his arms and hurried toward the street.

"I want some ice cream," he said and crossed his arms.

"I think they call it Gelato," Emyr corrected him.

"No, I saw a sign. It's ice cream," Johnny said and he appreciated the support. They were going to have some nice cold ice cream, including Emyr who had just spent over fifteen minutes in the Mediterranean Sea. Then, his mum's mobile rang.

"Jack, how did it go?" she asked and they continued walking, "I think you should talk about it. You sound terrible. We're in Ventimiglia. Come and join us for ice cream at the railway station...good, we'll see you in a few."

She put it back in her purse and announced, "Jack and Iefan are going to meet us." They made their way to the railway station with an ice cream kiosk. It had been recommended by their waitress at lunch. However, David couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm going to the loo," he announced before they had decided on their flavors. After a moment, he whispered to Emyr, "Join me in a few."

David waited for Emyr to appear, tugged the hem of his shirt and led him to a cubicle; locking the door behind him with his elbow. He pressed him against the wall and took possession of his mouth, not letting up until he was out of breath.

"Is this my punishment for earlier?" Emyr whispered in a husky voice and tried to move his hands. David knew he was going to go for his crotch and held him in place. His brown mane was still shiny with dampness although the rest of him seemed to have dried.

"Maybe," David answered with a smile.

"If it is, then I like it," he replied and rubbed his knee in between David's legs. David kissed him again and relaxed his hold. His hands went to his trousers; undoing the belt and zipper. They'd done this from time to time before, back in Newport and Cardiff.

"When she was touching you, kissing you...I wanted that to be me," David admitted as Emyr undid his trousers and briefs. David was glad he had foregone pants that day.

"Good," Emyr replied with a hand stroking the other's cock, "That's part of why I did it."

"What?" David cried in surprise before returning the favor to Emyr's shaft.

"I just felt like...like you've been taking me for granted. You just assume I'll always be here even though you refuse to talk about our future or what that could mean," Emyr explained and David felt horrible. If it wasn't for his boyfriend's fingers working their magic, the mood would have been lost. This quickie would not be able to make up for what he'd put him through.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean...I was just scared," he said. His hand slid over Emyr back and forth with extra attention to his helmet. David added, "I love you, too." He covered with his mouth with Emyr's shoulder and Emyr did the same with his until their orgasms finished. Then, he cleaned them up with the paper on the roll.

"Well, at least I know how to show you the error of your ways," Emyr replied and there was a knock on the stall.

"No funny business," shouted a voice with a thick Italian accent.

"Zipper was stuck!" David yelled and they had to stifle their laughter. Then, they zipped up and left the loo. Johnny and Rhi were sitting at a table with their cones.

"Patch things up?" she asked in a tactful way before Johnny took the low road, "Did you have to use the machine?"

"We're good, thank you, mum," David said and his dad just chortled, "We should get our cones."

They walked to the case with colors he'd never seen represented in ice cream before. There was orange and something the color of mustard and another flavor that was green, like kiwis.

"I think I'll have the cioccolato fondente," he said and Emyr spoke in a playful tone, "It'll all go to your ass."

"And you like my ass," David reminded him. His boyfriend stepped behind him and squeezed.

"You know I do," he whispered in the other's ear. David turned around and kissed him.

"Dio Mio!" exclaimed a voice and they turned. An old lady stood behind them.

"Disgustoso!" she continued and spit on the ground before leaving. He saw his mum start to rise and hurried to her side before she could do anything.

"Mum, don't," he pleaded because she had done it before; "It's not your fight."

"She called my little boy's love 'disgusting'," Rhi complained, "Why should I let that go?"

"Because you used to be the same way," he said and her mouth fell open, "I heard you all those years ago with Susan."

"Emyr, I could do with some more," Johnny spoke and left the table with the younger man.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about," his mum insisted as he sat down.

"You do, you just tried to forget," David said, crossing his arms, "Susan came over for tea and told you that she'd seen Uncle Ianto with a man and they looked intimate and you said, 'My brother would never go bender, how dare you!' You had a whole row over it."

Rhi sighed and put her hands together before speaking. He was grateful for the break in the awful silence.

"It was...it was a shock. I hadn't expected your uncle to ever fall for a man like that. I'm the one that had lived with him all that time, been the one to listen about the girls he fancied or catch him at it once," she said with a laugh, "and I do mean at it."

"What?" David asked at this Ianto story he'd never heard before, "like right after?"

"No," she said, laughing and shaking her head, "During...but it taught him to never bring a bird into the house again. At least you were more discrete so we'd pretend that Emyr had just popped in for brekkie...but your uncle, no, I couldn't believe it...not until he admitted it to my face and then...he seemed happy. He was happier than I'd seen him in a long time so why argue with that?"

She sniffled and rubbed her nose with her sleeve.

"But you're right, at the same time, I thought maybe Jack had seduced him or something especially...especially after he died, I wanted someone to blame but Jack...Jack looked even more lost than I was. He was broken," Rhi recalled with glistening brown eyes, "and I knew that he loved my brother, that there was no doubt so I didn't care anymore about that stuff. It didn't matter."

His mum took a paper napkin and wiped her eyes.

"I just wanted you to be happy, no matter what you decided," she continued, "because I'm glad they met, that he had some happiness. Otherwise, we wouldn't have Iefan."

His mum had become really attached to Jack's baby. He supposed they all had since even he and Emyr had kept him overnight once. She looked behind him and smiled.

"Jack!" she called with a wave and he hurried to them. Iefan was fast asleep and he was placed on Rhi's lap.

"What is this? What's happened? Why does he look like he's been in a fight? Which is ridiculous, he's only sixteen months," Rhi sputtered and he saw she had a point. One leg of the jeans was torn and there were various scratches that he could see from here.

"He was in a fight," Jack stated with his hands in his coat pockets, "Lucia pushed him down so he bit her."

David had to chuckle as his mum was caught, once again, with her mouth agape.

"But he's fine?" she asked and switched him to a more comfortable position against her body.

"As far as I can tell," Jack told her, "but it just went...horribly. I don't know. Maybe this was all a mistake."

"If it was, then it was my mistake for making you come," Rhi spoke, "and I don't think it was, we'll stay through Christmas like you planned and maybe there'll be another chance."

"I hope so," Jack uttered and she gave him a little smile.

"David, why don't you and Jack get some ice cream before your dad eats it all," she suggested, "and if Iefan wakes up before we leave, maybe he can have some, too."
