While Ezra Was Out

Thank you to SuBethJimBob for the delightful rabbit that decided to attack while I was innocently showering. The bunny she had for sale involved the boys being either By Designed or While you were Outed. Since I watch both of those shows the damned thing attacked.
Warnings: And it's not beta'd so the obligatory bad fic - now that, I consider a fair warning. And there is no actual sex in this, but one whole boat load of cussing, lots and lots and lots of cussing. So be warned.


"Hurry up y'all Ez is goin ta be here in about 45 minutes," Vin panted as he sprinted through the door. "I just got off the cell wid'im. He says the plane is on final."

"Vin calm down, we're almost finished. All we have left to do is to hang the art, and move the couch into position," Josiah smiled at Vin's nerves. Everything is going to be fine."

"That's right Vin everything is exactly on schedule. This has to have been one of the smoothest redos that we have done on this show," Teresa stated. "Just about everything has gone perfectly. Andrew and Leslie were able to complete all their projects. Chayse hasn't run into any disasters. It's been wonderful working with the four of you these last couple of days."

"Yeah, well see the team is real close and when I got this idea I talked to the boys and all 'o 'em agreed that Ez needed a little something different for his place," Vin replied, relaxing in the air of quiet confidence that permeated the condo. "Ez has got some good taste but he's real shy about doin' anythin' that would bring attention ta 'im. So JD over there found y'all website and that's when we got Nate to email y'all. Coulda knocked all 'o us over when y'all answered, and agreed ta do Ez's livin' room over."

"It was definitely a pleasure to do this Vin," Chayse replied. "Just because you all are ATF agents doesn't mean that you can't live in modern and fashionable home does it?"

"Y'all have the cameras sent up in such a way that a clear view of Ezra's face won't ever be caught don't you Teresa?" Buck Wilmington asked as he and Josiah Sanchez manhandled the brown and white spotted cow hide couch into the position that Chayse the designer had indicated. "He's undercover so much we don't wanna anybody gettin' a good look at 'im. Ya understand ma'am it could be hazardous for his health."

"Yes we had a long discussion with your Assistant Director, Travis right? Just exactly what does your team do Buck?" Leslie asked as she and JD continued hanging pictures on the long wall behind the couch.

"Well ma'am that kind of depends, the ATF mandate covers a fairly large amount. Everything from illegal guns explosives, to alcohol, to snuggled cigarettes. Our team has done just about all of 'em at one time or another. Ezra is our undercover guy, Vin is our sharpshooter, Nathan our medic and does some explosives, Josiah is our profiler and does surveillance, JD is our resident computer genius, and if it's electronic he can use it or get info outta of it. And me, I do a little undercover, a lot of explosive work and attempt to charm as many ladies as I can," Buck replied as he moved closer to Teresa the show's host.

"Yeah and Buck does do a lot of charming with the ladies," JD laughed as Buck reached out to slap him as JD danced away laughing.

"Y'all will have to excuse those two, they are, or in Buck's case, a case of arrested adolescent development," Josiah intoned as the 3 other members of team 7 and the cast of While You Were Out laughed at the antics of the other, Buck chasing JD around the brown and white spotted couch.

"We've met the 5 of you, Vin, you've talked to us a lot about Ezra. In fact I almost feel like I've met him. But do tell us about your 7th member, Chris Larabee right?" Teresa asked.

"Yes ma'am, that's correct. Chris is our team leader. He and Buck were Navy seals together then they were cops together here at the DPD, he got into the ATF, and got the rest of us together. The team's been together since '98, Ezra being the last of us recruited," Nathan replied.

"Well it seems that you know each other very well. Vin answered all of our all questions correctly, and with such detail," Teresa marveled as all stood back and admired their hard work.

"It's a very important for us to know as much as we can about one another, it can be life saving," Josiah said.

"And Vin and Ezra, they are specially close," JD smiled.

"They've been a couple for about 6 or 7 months. Vin still has his own place, but its for storage then anything else; if we're lookin' for Vin, we look first at Ezra's," Nathan stated as the end of project libation was poured around and toasts raised.

The sound of the key in the lock caused Vin to jump up, rushing to the door, he smiled happily as Ezra walked through the door.

"Hey Ez welcome home babe," Vin leaned forward and kissed his lover gently on the lips. "hey Chris, wanna a beer?"

Walking down the short hall to the redone living room Vin clutched at Ezra's hand. Just stopping outside of the room, Vin turned to Ezra, "Ah Ez, ummmm well me and the boys well, ah shit just com' on in."

"Hi Ezra, my name is Teresa, and While You Were Out, Vin and the rest of your team and our crew redid your living room. This is our designer Chayse Dacoda," Teresa smiled as she shook the befuddled Ezra Standish's hand. "Our carpenters Andrew and Leslie and we hope you love it as much as Vin enjoyed the creating it for you."

Standing back the 8 people meeting Ezra, Vin and Chris at the entry to the living room allowing Ezra Standish a look at the redone room.

"Fuck my walls are orange and fucking brown. You painted my fucking walls, fucking orange and fucking brown. Oh shit my couch, my fucking couch has fucking brown and fucking white spots. It looks like a fucking dead fucking cow in the middle of my living room. Vinnnnnnnnnnnn," Ezra moaned as he looked around.
