They Found Out!

"Shit." Peter Venkman looked in the small paper bag he'd found sitting on the lounge and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Egon Spengler came up behind him and because there was nobody else in the room placed one hand at the base of Peter's neck. His long fingers rubbed gently back and forth, stroking the sensitive skin.

"They know, some how the guys have found out." Peter's voice was wry, a look of half-amusement and half-resignation settling over his handsome face.

"What makes you think that?" Egon let his hand drop to his side and moved a little away. He swallowed hard, panic turning in his gut.

"They left us a present." Peter sighed, digging into the paper bag and pulling something out and holding it up so they could both see. The flowery writing on the side declared it to be Mango Flavored Man Gel. They both stared at the brightly colored tube, hearts
sinking. "I knew we should have told them," Peter added, wagging the tube at Egon for emphasis.

"Maybe, maybe they don't." Egon licked his lips nervously. There had to be another reason. "Maybe Ray brought this for...an experiment. Or maybe Ecto needs..."

"Egon." Peter dropped the paper bag and what it had held back down on the couch and turned to take the taller mans shoulders in his hands. He could feel Egon shaking, his lover's long face was pale, and his normally full, luscious lips were held thin and tight. "Egon, it's going to be alright. Remember, no matter what, we still got each other." Peter pulled him closer, wrapping his arms around him and rocking them both gently. "They're just letting us know that they know. They had to find out eventually, and the fact that they bought lube means they approve. The fact that it's mango means Ray bought it, the fact that it's in a plain brown paper bag and not in a giant carry bag with Lenny's Gay Emporium written large on the outside means Winston had a hand in it as well. So they both know and they both approve. We're not behind the eight ball here."

Egon chuckled at this. It was a somewhat watery chuckle and when they stepped away from each other Peter wasn't surprised to see Egon wipe at reddened eyes. He pulled a folded handkerchief from his pocket and ceremoniously helped dab at Egon's already dry eyes. It wasn't as if the taller man would allow actual tears to flow, but Peter's gesture made him smile any way. Egon sighed, he comforted by Peter's calm acceptance of their secrets discovery, knowing the psychologist had been dreading Ray and Winston's finding out almost as much as he had.

Peters gave his lover a considering stare, adjusted Egon's glasses more firmly onto his nose, tucked a stray platinum blond curl of hair back into its accustomed spot and nodded in satisfaction. Egon looked much more in control now. "Hey, big guy. Seeing as we've kinda been given permission and all, and we do have this big bottle of lube here, what say we go over to the bed-sit and canoodle for an hour or two?" Peter wriggled his eyebrows seductively.

"Well, I did have a few spore samples I wanted to correlate with the data bank..." Egon began, but Peter grabbed him and pressed a hot kiss onto his mouth. The physicist smiled as he kissed him back. "Hmm. Your counter argument holds merit. Let's go."

They kissed for a moment longer before heading towards the stairs, their hands linked, warmth and love shinning in their eyes.


"Did they find it?" Winston asked from the bottom of the stairs. Ray appeared and came slowly down them, biting his lip and looking worried.

"Yeah, they did. Do you think they'll know what it means?" He got to the last step and looked at Winston in concern.

"That Egon's a clever guy, he'll know. Not to mention that Peter Venkman's got one of the dirtiest minds on the planet." Zed replied gloomily. "You know what this means, don't you?"

"Yeah, we're gonna have to buy another bottle of lube." Ray sighed heavily. Winston gave him a quick double take, then slowly started to grin.

"So, you okay with them finding out about us, huh?" He slipped his arms round Ray's waist, the step making them about the same height.

"They had to know some time. Sorry about leaving that stuff behind but I guess it's for the best, really." Ray tilted his head to one side, wondering what Peter and Egon were doing right now.

Winston loved it when Ray got his thinking look and couldn't resist leaning in to drop a kiss on his jaw. "It's for the best alright. Now what say we hustle our buns and get to that hotel room, it's only booked for four hours you know. And we'll have to make a pit stop at the drug store on the way." He leaned in to nuzzled at Rays ear, smiling when he felt the shorter man gasp and clutch at his arms. Oh yeah, Ray liked that all right. He let him go and led the way towards the door, their footsteps falling into an easy synchronization when they hit the sidewalk.

"The place that sells the mango flavor is on the other side of town." Ray mentioned regretfully.

"So get strawberry. You know I like strawberry." Winston replied, smiling to himself as a faint blush crossed Ray's cheeks. The guy was so cute. "Oh, and Ray, don't forget; plain brown paper bag."

Rays blush grew darker, Winston had nearly had a coronary that time he'd shown up with the bright green bag the clerk had given him the lube in, the one proudly declaring on the outside 'Sea Change - The Lube That Will Get You Swimming In Him!' But it had worked.
