Today's Toy Box is all about seeing double! There's something sexy and kinky about two men who are so close they're almost the same getting together. The connection goes beyond just bodies. In The Celebration: A Center Story, Sean Michael brings back Whit and his twins Raine and Grey. Five years ago, Grey survived a battle with cancer. Come celebrate with these lovers as they learn that Grey has passed the all-important five-year cancer-free mark.

Chris Owen brings us twins Gil and Wayne in Succulents. Gil's out on a job tending to the garden at a big home. He's hot and he's tired from working in the sun all morning when Wayne shows up. Can Wayne convince his more reticent twin that a little outdoor nooky in the backyard of an empty house is just what they both need? And in The Good Twin by BA Tortuga, Mark and Luke, having been caught in a compromising position together, have been trying to stay away from each other for years. The problem is, it's not working for either of them. Mark being arrested for hitting a cheating boyfriend is the last straw. Can they figure out how to be together?

From: The Celebration: A Center Story by Sean Michael

Whit looked around the living room, taking it all in to make sure every detail was just right. He wanted it to be absolutely perfect, needed it to be. This wasn't just your run of the mill everyday sensual feast.

There was a soft, dark green flannel blanket on the floor in front of the fire, which was built up perfectly, thank you very much. Grey had taught him how to make the fire. How to crinkle the paper and pile the twigs, how to choose just the right logs and stack them just so. All it took was a single match, strategically placed to light, and it flared to life. The blanket had been Raine's find; soft to start with, they'd worn it in over the years, making love and sharing feasts like the one he'd just prepared. It held a lot of memories in it.

The champagne was chilling in a bucket of ice, three flutes next to it, ready and waiting. It was the last bottle of four that they'd bought last year. They'd shared one on each of their birthdays, but it was this fourth one that meant the most, that they were all anticipating. Whit bounced a little, excitement building, warming his belly.

Little canapés and tidbits sat on a tray on the coffee table, which had been pushed to the side. There was more food in the kitchen, some on the counter, some still in the fridge. They'd been to the market early that morning, choosing this and that, Raine finding the perfect melon and Grey snagging the caviar. He'd found the crackers and cold cuts, while Raine had found the bright flowers that were in vases around the room.

Dessert was also keeping cool in the fridge; it was a magical looking concoction, marrying chocolate, cream and dulce de leche. Just knowing it was in there had been tempting him all morning, but he'd resisted. It had been Grey's find -- the man had a knack for finding just exactly the right thing. Of course that hadn't stopped Raine from picking up some lace cookies or Whit from sneaking fudge into their basket as well. There was no such thing as too much dessert.

All in all, there was a veritable feast waiting for them. Waiting for and created by all; the whole place was a celebration of the three of them, of the best of each of them.

All it needed now were his twins -- Grey and Raine themselves. His beautiful, wonderful twins. They still made his heart beat faster. They still made him need deep in his soul. How he loved and adored them.

Whit knew the news was good. Raine had texted him immediately when the doctor had given them the test results. So he knew his Grey was still in remission, was healthy, strong. Still.

Five years. Five whole glorious years, cancer free.
