“Oh hey, Dad,” Grayson says casually as he sees his father, Dan, shirtless in his bed. “I was just gonna borrow some of your cologne if that’s okay.”
Grayson had always admired his Dad’s sense of cologne and style. Grayson had a lot to look up to seeing as how Dan had been a successful businessman and single father for most of Grayson’s life. Their friendship had only developed in the previous couple months though.
“Of course, son! It’s nice to see you finally becoming a young man who cares about smelling good,” Dan says with a chuckle as he beams a smile of pride at the gentleman his little boy was becoming.
“Yeah, I mean your stuff smells amazing. I know Cindy digs it too.”
“Oh you’re going on a date?” Dan asks his son as he leans up, showing more interest and also giving a better view of his solid and muscular abs and chest.
“Well…I wouldn’t call it a date…” Grayson stammers nervously.
“I get it. I get it.” Dan says with a grin. “Just make sure you use protection. 17 is too young to be a father.”
“How do you know it’s not just a casual hangout?” Grayson asks defensively.
“Son…I was your age once. Believe it or not, but your old man used to be quite a ladies man. I had two nicknames when I was your age: Sweet Talker and O-maker,” Dan says with nostalgic pride.
“Daddddddd,” Grayson exclaims with a bit of embarrassment. “That’s freaking weird to think about!”
“Oh horseshit! Someday you’ll be having the same conversation with your son.”
Grayson just smiles awkwardly as Dan stands up and walks over to his son. He was still a few inches taller and much more muscular. Dan plants his hands on his son’s shoulders and looks directly into Grayson’s eyes.
“Son, I really am so proud of you, so you know what- I want you to go into my bathroom and take that cologne with you. It’s yours. Cheers to you becoming a fine young lad.”
“Really?!” Grayson bursts out as he grabs onto his Dad’s solid body, holding him in a tight bear hug embrace that forced a smile onto Dan’s face.
“Really. Period,” Dan says with another fatherly chuckle. “I’ll just buy another one the next time I’m at Nordstrom. Now that you’re finally taking after your old man in the cologne department, maybe you’ll let me drag you to the gym and teach you some fitness you can carry with you for the rest of your life.”
Grayson ponders for a moment before finally nodding his head. “Yeah, I’d really like that, Dad.”
“That’s my boy!” Dan exclaims as he pulls Grayson back in for a tight bear hug.
“I’m so glad you’re inside my Dad,” Grayson whispers softly into Dan’s ear.
Dan squeezes Grayson in appreciation. “And I’m so glad you’re my son.”
