Summary
“And if it helps your ego at all,” Mac starts. Dennis’s face is warm under his hand; it feels so real, and he can’t believe they’re here. Decades of slamming each other around, screaming, and it all amounts to this. “I think you’re pretty perfect, dude.”
-
After the last rehearsal dinner, Mac and Dennis are forced to confront the last few decades of their lives—together.

Summary
Mac stared silently as he watched the tears fall, and Dennis could feel him twitch inside. “That's what you want, yeah? Get me mad so I hurt you?” Mac questioned, grabbing Dennis’s face in a tight hold, forcing eye contact.
“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” Dennis feigned innocence, but he didn’t sound all too innocent when Mac hit another sound from him; his face was going to be more bruised than not.
“You’re disgusting,” Mac spat, face showing anything but disgust as Dennis hiccupped another round of tears; he was getting off on that, wasn’t he?
Dennis has a plethora of kinks ranging from semi-normal to borderline psychopathic, and as his boyfriend, Mac, is dragged into committing every single atrocity. (And maybe find out he's more into it than he previously thought.)

Summary
Mac straightens out, shutting the half-open door. "What?" He whispers, quiet and subdued, like he must've misheard. After thirty-three years, he must've misheard a love confession.
"What?" Dennis goes with, playing it cool, playing it off, he didn't even say anything. Mac's a fucking idiot who heard what he wanted to hear. That's all. "You're not going?"
"Dennis," Mac says like a warning, eyebrows furrowed.

And then, Dennis snubs the cigarette on Mac’s chest.
On the bare skin of Mac’s chest.
(Or, Mac spanks Dennis)
