Saint smile was like a million suns, blindingly bright and distracting but wonderful, so wonderful.
Perth found himself smiling as well, even if Saint couldn't see it, even if Saint was smiling for someone else, holding hands with someone else, and had love for someone else.
Perth let out a heavy sigh and stood up from the park bench, rubbing his sweaty palms on his jeans as Saint pulled along the other boy, holding tightly onto him as the moved towards the swings. They were talking and laughing and giggling and Saint looked like he worshipped the boy who's hand he was holding.
Perth's heart was aching at the sight, so many emotions running through him as Saint turned and made eye contact, looking surprised for a second before grinning and leaving the boy at the swings, rushing towards Perth.
"Hey," Saint said quietly, eyes staring into Perth's. "I didn't know you were here. Why were you watching me?"
"I just... You know why," Perth said softly, looking down at Saint.
Saint grinned and shook his head, fringe falling in his eyes. "Are you going to cry, Perth?" He tutted.
"You know I won't," Perth replied. "I just get this... This feeling when I watch you and Pin."
Pin was swinging by himself, eyes staring down the pair and Saint smiled fondly at him. "I get that feeling when watching you and Pin."
Perth finally smiled, hand reaching for Perth's as he watched their son, small feet kicking back and forth to keep himself moving.
"Looks so much like you," Saint said as he and Perth headed towards the boy, hands held together. "He fell earlier and put on the bravest little face, reminded me of you so much."
Perth, at first, was obviously not into getting a surrogate and having a child, but Saint had been working at a daycare and was infatuated with kids. It was late one night, nearly five years ago, while he and Perth were lazing around in the bed, that Saint finally convinced Perth, after six years of being together, that they should have a kid and Perth hadn't regretted it much since.
It was hard at first, of course, with Perth having to quit dancing and get a real job. Saint had done that years beforehand but Perth had more difficulty letting go and he had to take over the club when Copter got sick and Bas had to leave, eventually deciding not to come back into the stripping business.
Perth finally sold the club and went to online college and, here they were, happily married with Perth as a computer technician and Saint as a stay-at-home dad.
Pin was a copy of Perth, beautiful and flawless four years old boy.
"He's been asking for you. How was work?" Saint asked as they neared their son.
"Fine. We're going to see Copter after this," Perth said softly. "Poor Bas is a wreck."
"It's horrid that he relapsed again," Saint said thickly. "I don't know what I'd do if you got cancer."
"Keep going for Pin," Perth replied simply, grinning when Pin smiled and got up from the swing, running to wrap onto Perth's legs.
"Daddy," Pin said, "I missed you."
Perth grinned wider and picked up his boy, holding onto him tightly. "I love you, too. We're going to see Uncle Copter now, okay?"
"Okay," Pin agreed, pressing his lips in a tight line. Pin was smart, knowing there was something wrong with Copter, always had known, but he just got down from Perth's arms and headed towards Saint's car with his parents behind him.
"Perth," Saint said as they begin walking again. "I love you."
Perth leaned over and kissed Saint's cheek softly. "I love you, baby boy. Always my baby boy."
Saint hummed in delight, gripping onto every second that he had with Perth and holding it all in his memory.
He had single-handedly changed a wrecked, closed-in asshole into a caring, perfect dad, husband, and man in general. It was all a roller coaster ride but both boys were so in love that they hung on and stayed strong throughout everything.
Perth and Saint's love story wasn't like many others, but it was their own and they couldn't ask for anything else.
