Author's Notes:
Summary: Dom has taken up Punchbag Boxing, Billy likes the results.


Dom had not felt this whole in months. Billy was back. Back in his life; back in his home; back where he belonged as far as Dom was concerned. Dom could not think about the fact that it was only for a few weeks. Dom felt himself being consumed with all things Billy.

Any music that Billy suggested they listen to, Dom would make a mental note to buy the CD. Whatever Billy wanted to eat or drink, Dom would write it down if he did not have it in the house to remind himself to get it.

Dom and Billy spent most of their time those first two days on the beach behind Dom’s house. Just the two of them; Dom had not even told anyone that Billy was coming for a visit. He wanted Billy to himself. At least for a few days. He was tired of having to share Billy.

They surfed, cooked out, drank entirely too much beer and would lie in the sand till the wee hours of the morning talking and looking up at the stars. Dom felt closer to Billy for some reason. Dom had noticed a change in Billy also. Their talks seemed to go deeper than they ever had in the past. They had always been able to discuss anything, but now the discussions were about life and love instead of sex and careers. The comedic banter never left their conversations long, but now they were able to hold an entire conversation about the deepest most sincere topics before one of them commented on the other’s lack of hygiene or morals.

Finally on the second night Billy told Dom about his break up.

As they lay in the sand shoulder to shoulder one night Billy said, “She ended it mate.”

It took a moment for his words to make since to Dom. He sat up and looked at Billy, “What? I thought this was the real thing. What the fuck happened Billy?”

Billy sighed and rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands. “I don’t really know. She took me the airport and it just all fell apart right there in the fucking terminal. She had issues with my friends.”

Dom shook his head and crinkled his brow, “What kind of issues? With what friends?”

Billy thought that perhaps he should not have told Dom that. He didn’t want Dom to feel bad or responsible. But he didn’t want to lie to him, besides he never could lie to Dom. “She was jealous of our friendship.”

“Us? What the fuck! She had you all to her shitty self for months on end! She had you on our Christmas and New Years!”

Billy opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows at Dom’s anger. It slightly resembled the anger he had witnessed days earlier with the punchbag. “Sounds like she wasn’t the only one with issues.”

Dom lay back down next to Billy, “Sorry mate. Just felt like I became second to her. As it should be I know, but…well I missed you Bills.” Dom reached over and took Billy’s hand.

“So what, she just didn’t like me?”

Billy laughed, “No, she was thought you were trying to turn me gay!”

Dom turned his head to Billy, “Turn you gay? Is that how it works? Is there a button or a switch to hit to ‘turn’ someone gay?”

Billy looked at Dom with a smile, “She wasn’t real open to alternative living! I always had a problem with that. She was fun, and beautiful, but when it came down to her telling me it was either her or you, well..”

Dom smiled. Billy had chosen him over the woman who made him so happy. Dom felt honored. He squeezed Billy’s hand while he lifted it to his lips. He placed a soft kiss on Billy hand and asked, “Feel gay yet? How about a little Bi?”

Both men laughed, but neither let go of the other’s hand.

“She just wasn’t the right one. Besides, the woman you are destined for will not only encourage you to spend time with me she will secretly want me!” Dom said.

Billy squeezed Dom’s hand and laughed, “Of course she will mate! But does that mean if you fall for a man I have to secretly want him?”

Dom sighed, “No, I doubt that the man or woman I fall for won’t even want me.”

Billy hated to hear Dom so down. “Dommie, don’t despair. Things are what they are for a reason. Your true love has not revealed herself, or himself, yet” Billy said with a giggle that bought him a jab in the ribs from Dom, “for some very good reason. Till they do, you will just have to have fun finding her, or him.” Billy continued to giggle.

Dom leaned his shoulder into Billy’s, “What are you giggling about Boyd? Amusing yourself with thoughts of Dommie slow dancing with a man?”

Billy smiled then leaned himself up on his elbow and looked over at Dom, “You know what? In all the years we’ve known each other I’ve never seen you date a man. I mean, God knows I’ve seen you flirt with men enough and I’ve watched you do your shagdance with men on the dance floor, but I’ve never seen you care for a man.”

Dom looked over at him, “Not true. If you look hard enough you’ll see your wrong Billy.” Dom said it before he really thought about it. When he tried to think about it, he quickly stopped.

Billy started to ask him what he meant but was cut short by Dom, “Shagdance? Hmmm, I like that. Did Orlando teach you that word?” Dom needed to steer the conversation another way.

Billy smiled slyly and said, “Well, yes, but that’s beside the point. Maybe you’re dating too many women Dom. What about that trainer you hired? You said he was a great guy.”

Dom raised his eyebrows as he closed his eyes and shrugged his shoulders, “He was. Straight and great! I’m not blind Billy. Think I didn’t try? Besides, I’ve dated more men than women.”

“So who have I seen you with that you cared so much for? Elijah? I thought you two couldn’t get intimate without laughing?”

Dom laughed at the memory of him and Elijah trying their best to make out, but couldn’t because they kept laughing. What a disaster that had been. Still, it was on of Dom’s favorite memories of Elijah. “No, Bills. NOT Lij! Forget it, probably not what you meant anyway.”

Dom stretched and raised his arms over his head placing them there in the cool sand as he thought, “Shit! Where did this feeling come from? I’ve always cared for Bill, but when did I fall in love with him?”

Billy thought back over the past several years. He had seen Dom with men. He’d seen him flirt, shagdance, make out and then walk them out of his house in the morning. But he had never seen Dom in a loving relationship with anyone but his friends. That was when Billy decided Dom would only fall in love with a friend. If he not already.

Billy looked at his friend closer. There was something different about Dom. Not just his body. Something was there Billy had never noticed before; had he? Billy’s eyes slid from Dom’s face down his body. Dom was not wearing a shirt only a pair of shorts that hung low on his cut hip muscles. Dom was tan and the moon was showering him with rays of white sparkling kisses. As Dom stretched again his stomach muscles flexed and Billy had to swallow the moan that threatened to escape his throat.

As Billy’s eyes were taking in Dom’s tight abs, Dom opened his eyes. His first thought was to make some smart-ass comment about Billy wanting him, but then he stopped himself.

Dom thought, “Damn, I should have starting boxing years ago. I didn’t realize Billy would appreciate my body looking like this.” He liked Billy looking at him like that. It turned him on, but there was something more. He felt safe. It felt right.

He had never thought of Billy like that before; had he? They joked and hammed it up for the cameras, but seriously he had always lusted after Elijah and Orlando.

Elijah had been so young when they started filming Dom had just wrote him off as a friend. Then when he decided last year to take their friendship to the next level it was all just a comedy of errors. He and Elijah still giggled at the memory of that night.

And Orlando, well, he was the golden boy. You just didn’t take a chance like that. Orlando was a good friend, and the ultimate tease. Dom knew that Orli was straight, he just liked attention. Dom knew that falling for him was a heartbreak waiting to happen.

But Billy, Billy was his best mate. You just didn’t think of your best mate that way. Why take the chance of ruining the best relationship he’d ever had for a fuck? Then again Dom wasn’t thinking of Billy as just a fuck. He thought of Billy as his friend, as someone who cared for him, as someone who he cared for. Someone he really loved.

Billy caught himself fixating on Dom’s stomach muscles. He blinked and shook his head. He turned his eyes to Dom’s face and realized he’d been busted.

He blushed and then laughed. His head went back showing his adam apple bobbing up and down. Dom felt the urge to lick it. However, he restrained himself.

Billy sat up looking out to the water; “You know how we used to joke about one of being a woman so we could marry?”

Dom sat up and looked at Billy as he answered, “Yea, I remember.”

Billy smirked as he looked at Dom; “You would make one ugly woman! As a man you’re incredible, but as a woman….ack. Guess that means in our next life I’ll have to be a woman.”

Dom laughed as he put an arm around Billy, “Incredible, huh? Like that.”

Dom’s eyes then meet Billy’s, “Sorry mate, but we could never be together in this life or any other if one of had to be a woman.”

Billy cocked his head to the side as he asked, “What, you don’t think I’d make a pretty woman?”

Dom felt his breath catch in his lungs, as he said, “Not that Bills. I just wouldn’t want you any different than you are right now.”

They sat there looking into each other’s eyes smiling for a moment until Billy broke the silence. “Aye, wouldn’t be the same I guess if I was a woman. Would have to be all prissy and proper. Too bad.”

As Dom watched Billy look back to the ocean he took a deep breath. Why had that last statement hurt him? What was this? He started to raise his arm off Billy’s shoulders but Billy stopped him by leaning his head on his arm.

Dom held his breath. “Ok, ok, I’m OK. It’s just Bills lying his head on my arm.” Dom was thinking to himself. “Hell, you have been closer than this. You’ve past out in his bed before. Woke up wrapped around him one time.” Dom laughed out loud at this memory.

Billy didn’t move his head as he asked, “What are laughing at Dommie?”

Dom loved that nickname. It always sounded so right when Billy said it. The others had picked it up, but it always sounded special when Billy said it.

“Just remembering some of the things we’ve done. Remember the night we partied in my trailer and past out? When we woke up I was behind you with my arm over your waist all curled up to you. You thought you had some woman in your bed! You didn’t realize it was me till you had my finger in your mouth!!”

Billy sputtered out a laugh as he lifted his head to look at Dom, “Shite Dom that was a long time ago. God we laughed for hours. You kept coming up to me during filming offering me your finger asking me if I wanted a lick! No one ever knew if we were kidding or not.”

They both laughed and looked at each other as silence fell over them. Billy leaned over and placed his chin on Dom’s shoulder, “Was kinda nice actually.”

Dom’s eye widened, “What was?”

Billy looked up at him as he lifted his face so their lips were within inches of each other, “Waking up in your arms. Felt safe, you know?”

Dom whispered, “Safe, yea, safe.”

Billy hesitated for a second, then leaned in and kissed Dom.
