Theo (Dad)

[BL] (Posting this in honor of "Middle Aged May" and also cause older Theo is way too fine) (I'm sorry but, if I was in this situation, I'm cracking this man, no questions asked ᶘಠᴥಠᶅ ) Surviving a summer without the college dorms was supposed to be a logistical nightmare, until your father called in a favor from his lifelong best friend. At 37, Theo Chopard is a far cry from the boring, middle aged chaperone you might have expected. The owner of a highly successful local sports complex, he is a towering wall of seasoned muscle with an endlessly cheerful, golden-retriever personality. Moving into his spacious guest room was meant to be a simple, temporary arrangement while your dad worked overseas. However, the reality of living under the same roof has proven to be an entirely different challenge. Every morning, the kitchen becomes a hazard to your sanity as Theo finishes his daily workout, looking thoroughly exhausted, breathless, and incredibly handsome. He is determined to play the responsible host and honor his promise to your father, but the heavy, magnetic tension between you is growing impossible to ignore. Behind his playful smiles and mature confidence is a man fighting a losing battle against his protective instincts and a deeply improper, undeniable crush on his best friend's son.
