The 10 Year Plan
pulled back the sheets and climbed under the covers. A quick video on the iPad would might do him some good. He was a little wound up after his trip with Brody. Maybe a few episodes of “Steam Room Stories” on You Tube? They always put a smile on his face. Hot boys doing silly sketch comedy, why not? Either that or a Food Network cooking show. He finally decided on the latter–a cooking show. No need to get himself worked up again watching sexy men. He’d had enough of that for the evening. Brody in Chi Chi Larue’s definitely bordered on things Myles’ should not be replaying in his head this late at night.
    ***
    Brody handed the food truck vendor a twenty and told him to keep the change. The sun was shining, birds chirping. Beautiful Los Angeles, Brody thought. Another day in paradise. He and Richard grabbed their tacos and sat on the hood of their cruiser, both in full uniform. Another day on the job as LA’s finest.
    â€œI can’t believe you make me eat here,” Richard complained, not that it stopped him from shoving the food into his mouth.
    Brody rolled his eyes. Richard didn’t like to try new things, and food trucks weren’t excluded. “Are you kidding? Everyone knows the best food in LA comes from food trucks.”
    â€œYeah, so does e coli.” He took another bite and then turned toward his partner. “I’m Mexican. I know how this is made!”
    Brody chuckled. “Admit it; it’s delicious, and this is my new favorite spot, so you’re just going to have to deal with it.” Brody reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like a plastic egg. “Hey, Myles and I went toy shopping last night. I got you something. It’s a sex toy.”
    Richard took it and looked it over. “If this goes where I think it does, you and I are about to have a problem, partner.”
    Brody laughed. “It doesn’t. It’s a sleeve you use to cover your junk when you jerk off. Just trust me on this. You’ll like it. It feels amazing—better than the real thing.”
    Richard looked at him as to say, “Really? Better than the real thing?”
    Brody knew he was probably thinking about boundaries and how Brody ignored them. Well, Brody was honest about it. Not everyone could handle this sort of thing, but Richard could. This was one of the things that made him choose Brody as a partner years earlier.
    Brody could read his expression like a third grade textbook. He and Richard were great partners and friends. There wasn’t anything that Brody didn’t know about Richard and vice versa. Two men who had been partners on the force as long as they were and who spent whatever free time they both had together were inevitably going to form a bond–almost as strong as the bond Brody had with Myles.
    He responded to Richard’s look, “Of course not as good as the real thing, but definitely a close second and certainly better than your hand!”
    Richard just shook his head.
    â€œI took Myles shopping to try to cheer him up. He just broke up with his newest boyfriend. I bought him a bunch of toys and thought I’d pick you up a little something too,” Brody said.
    â€œMyles broke up with another one? I feel so bad for that guy.”
    â€œMe too, Myles is a bit much.”
    â€œNo. I meant Myles.”
    Brody was surprised. “You feel bad for Myles? Don’t! If you want to pity someone, try me. Myles and I made a deal ten years ago that if we were single by the time we’re thirty-five, we’d be a couple! What am I going to do?”
    Richard laughed. “That’s ridiculous. Myles is a successful, smart lawyer. He can do so much better than you!”
    â€œRight. I… What?”
    Richard got a cheap shot in at Brody, who was surprised yet pleased at Richard’s cleverness. Brody’s sense of humor definitely was rubbing off on him.
    â€œBesides, I don’t know
