So without further wait here is the next installment to Kevin & Dustin. Kevin & Dustin 31-34 By: NM Kevin & Dustin 31 By: NM Everything was dark. I couldn't see anything. The room, wherever I was, was so quiet I could hear my own heart beating. I could feel someone breathing on the back of my neck. I slowly turned around and saw the face of my captor. It was Michael. I tried to stand but I was restrained. I couldn't move. I tried scooting back, but no luck. I saw him scoot closer towards me. "Why are you doing this," I could barely get out. My throat was very dry, and It felt like it took everything I had just to get that one question out. "You know why," he said lunging at me. I felt him pin me down and his left hand slowly closed around my throat. I couldn't scream. I couldn't beg for him to stop. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I jumped out of the bed screaming. I dropped onto the cold hard floor and crawled into the corner and curled up into a ball still screaming. Kevin burst in the room and ran towards me in the corner. "Dustin? Dustin, babe calm down!" he spoke. "You are safe now." He spoke while rubbing my back trying to calm me down. "We are in the hospital, and Michael is in jail. He won't ever hurt you again. I promise," Kevin said hugging me. "Kevin, is that you," I asked thinking my mind might be playing a trick. "It's my baby. I'm here, and Michael isn't," he spoke soothingly, while kissing me on my forehead. "What happened? How did I get here," I asked him. "You mean you don't remember anything," He asked. I thought about what he asked. I saw flashes in my brain. I saw everything. I remembered heading up to my room, and running into Michael. I remembered him chasing me down the hall on the second floor. Then I remember the fight in the elevator on the way to the basement. I remembered every detail of what happened up until I lost consciousness. "No," I spoke softly. "I don't remember what happened. Everything is a complete blur." I lied. The truth was I did remember. I remembered everything that happened while I was conscious. But I didn't want to remember any of it, so that's why I lied. I just want to forget that it happened and move on with life. I don't want to remember any of it. "Everything will be okay. I promise," he reassured me. "Kevin what day is it," I asked unaware of how much time, if any had passed. "Its been almost a week since the incident," he said starting to cry. "The doctors said that the longer you were out the less the chance for you to regain consciousness." He said breaking down. I tried to wrap him in my arms but was hit with jolts of pain. "Ahh," I groaned out. "My arm," I said. "I never noticed until now," I confessed feeling odd that I had not noticed my injury until now. "Where is my mom," I asked. "I'm here Dustin," my mom said making here presence known. "Mom," I said starting to cry again. She just came over and joined Kevin and I on the floor and embraced us. "Everything will be all right sweety. That Michael man wont ever come near you again." She said while quietly sobbing. I just nodded and continued hugging Kevin and my mother. "Come on," my mom said ending the hug and standing up. "We need to get you off this cold hospital floor and into bed. Kevin could you help me," she asked. "Of course," Kevin replied while standing me up with him. He walked me back over to my bed and helped me up on. My mom and Kevin both tucked me in. "I'm going to go talk to a doctor. Ill be back as soon as I can," my mother replied kissing me on the forehead. I nodded my head in response. "Kevin do you need anything," my mother asked him before leaving the room. "No, I'm fine thank you. Ill just wait here." He replied while gripping my hand tightly. "All right," she said giving Kevin a kiss on the forehead. She walked out of the room, and Kevin leaned down and kissed me on the lips gently. "I was so afraid I was going to lose you," he sobbed. "Shh, I'm here now. Everything will be fine," I told him. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't woken up," he said hugging me. He released me slowly, "I'm going to just sit right here. You get some sleep. You need it," he spoke pulling up a chair next to the side of my bed. "Sweet dreams babe," Kevin said kissing me on the forehead once more. I nodded and slowly drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Kevin & Dustin Part 32 By: NM I woke up slowly to see Kevin awake and staring at me intently. "Hey, how are you feeling," he asked not breaking his gaze on me. "Rested, but not much better," I said. "I feel like he is still here. Watching and waiting. Babe I can't get him out of my mind," I said starting to sob. "It will be okay. I will take care of you," he said pulling me into a hug. There was a knock on the door. A doctor walked in followed by my mother and then my father. I hadn't seen him last night, so I just assumed he arrived while I was asleep. "Hello Dustin. I'm Dr. Robinson," he said introducing myself. "Hi," I said looking at him. "How are you feeling Dustin," he asked looking over what I assumed was my chart. "I feel rested, but not so good. My arm is still hurting. And it is hard to breathe sometimes," I said explaining my discomfort. "Yes. Your arm was fractured. It doesn't need to be in a cast, but keep it in the sling, and try not to do a lot of activity using that arm," he explained. "As for your chest, 3 of your ribs are bruised," he added. "I see," I answered. "Now, I have explained your physical injuries. Now why don't you tell me about your mental ones," he said. "My mental ones?" I asked not really wanting to relive those horrid moments. "Dustin, part of recovery when this happens is confronting everything. Holding it inside will not do any good. I have a number for a psychologist who is a friend of mine in Orlando. You should at least try talking to him once. And if you don't like him, you can find someone else," Dr. Robinson advised. "Thank you doctor," I said. "Well, if there are no more questions I have some other patients to check on," the doctor said. "Are there any restrictions that I should uphold," I asked. He turned and looked back at me, "Just take things slow. Get lots of rest. And don't overexert yourself. Especially since three of your ribs are bruised." Dr. Robinson advised. "Thank you Dr. Robinson," my father said. "Have a good day Dustin. A nurse will be bringing you lunch around 12:30," he said walking out of the room. My father came to my side. "I'm sorry I wasn't here last night. I came as soon as I could," he apologized while hugging me. "Its all right dad. I'm just glad you came period," I said pulling back from the hug. "Is Kelly here," I asked about my sister. "She wanted to come Dustin. But she is taking one of her finals in summer school. She did say she would call though," my mom answered. My dad turned towards Kevin, "How are you holding up," he asked him. That was kind of a shock. I mean my dad had never really tolerated Kevin much, now to see him being friendly was really weird. "I'm doing all right Mr. Richards. Thank you for asking. How about yourself," Kevin asked my father. "I just want to kill the person who did this," he said in anger while balling his fists. "I know, so did I," Kevin confessed. "I've haven't had time to talk to the police about whether he will be tried here, or sent back to the U.S. and then tried," Kevin said. "Don't worry about the legal things. I will tend to those," my father told Kevin. "Are you sure? I don't mind helping," Kevin offered. "I want you to help, by being with Dustin," he asked. "I wont leave his side," Kevin said softly. "What about the tour," I asked finally entering the conversation. "Lets not worry about that now," Kevin said taking my hand in his. "I just want you to get better first. We will worry about other things later," he said lifting my hand to his lips. He gently kissed my hand then rubbed it across his face. He hadn't shaved so it felt rough to the skin on my hand. "Dustin the guys stopped me in the hall. They wanted to know if they could come in. Do you feel up to it," my dad asked me. "Yes, I wanna see them," I said sitting up more in bed. I tried using my left hand to help push myself up. "Ahh!" I grunted in pain. "Are you all right sweetie," Kevin asked in concern. "Ya, just forgot about my arm there for a minute," I confessed. The guys all entered and gathered around. "Dustin your father and I will be right outside if you need us," my mom said kissing my forehead. "Okay," I replied. "Hey guys, how are things," I asked all of them. "Dustin we were all so worried about you," AJ said giving me a hug. "Thanks, but I'm doing fine. Just a few bruises, and my arm. It is fractured. But other than that nothing big," I explained. One by one all the guys gave me a hug expressing their concern. Apparently they managed to push some of the tour dates back since we were still in Italy. I felt really bad knowing, that they were now behind. And it was all my fault. `Well it wasn't my fault,' I rationalized. `It was Michael's fault. That bastard. Oh, I just wanna get my hands on him and-' I thought to myself. "Dustin," Nick asked again. "huh, I'm sorry I didn't hear you. What were you asking Nick?" "I asked if you wanted anything. I'm going to get some coffee," he stated. "No thanks I'm fine," I replied. "Anybody else want something while I'm out," Nick offered. "I'll take a coffee," Kevin told Nick. "Okay, anyone else," Nick asked one last time. Everyone shook their heads no. "Ill come with you Nick," Brian said. "Okay," Nick said walking towards the door with Brian. I wondered if Nick had ever managed to talk to Brian and wondered if things were okay now between those two. It didn't seem like anything was wrong, but Nick seemed to think there was. After talking with AJ and Howie for awhile they excused themselves and went back to the hotel. Nick and Brian stuck around for a little longer and then they also left. The nurse brought me lunch, which was disgusting, but what do you expect from hospital food. I ate it anyway since I apparently hadn't eaten in a week. They said they were going to start feeding me intravenously if I hadn't woken up. After lunch I turned on the TV in my room to see what was happening. "Hi, I'm Kurt Loder with an MTV News Brief. The Backstreet Boys are still in Italy almost 6 days after their scheduled 2-day stay. PR representatives for the Boys declined to issue a statement why they are still in Italy, but apparently anonymous sources have confirmed that the boys have been seen leaving this hospital several times a day over the past week. All the boys have been seen entering and leaving the hospital, so apparently none of them were injured. So the only question is "What is holding up the Backstreet Boys' Tour?" We will continue to update you on this situation, as more information becomes available. Stayed tuned for more news, 10 to the hour, every hour right here, on MTV. I clicked off the TV, and looked over in Kevin's direction. "Are you okay honey," I asked noticing the look on his face. "I just wish they could butt out of our lives' for just once," he complained. "I know you do, but at least they don't know why. And I don't think they will find out," I tried to reassure him. "Come in," I yelled out. "Hi Dustin," a petite nurse said entering the room. "Hi," I replied. "I've just come to check your blood pressure and heart rate," she said. "Okay. Check away," I said. After checking my blood pressure and using the cold stethoscope against my chest she left. "It's a good thing she finally put your shirt back down," Kevin said exhaling. "I was starting to get turned on," he said with a huge grin. "You were turned on by my chest," I asked surprised. "Yes of course I was, why wouldn't I be," he asked. "I don't know, you never seemed to be that interested in my chest before I guess," I explained. "Dustin, one thing you should have learned about me by now, is that I'm interested in all your parts," Kevin commented with a smile. "Is that so," I said staring into his eyes. "It is," he said leaning closer to me. "Well then I guess I should tell you I like all your parts too," I said with a shy smile. "I'm glad," he said letting his lips touch mine. He slowly started to kiss me. His hand went behind my head and cradled it while his other hand took hold of my neck, while he deepened the kiss. He slowly pushed his tongue though the barrier created by my lips. I wrapped my arms around his waist, and pulled his body closer towards my own. As the kiss continued I pulled him up onto the bed and ontop of me. I could begin to feel my penis hardening beneath Kevin's body. Kevin suddenly stopped the kiss, and scooted off of me and laid down next to me. "We shouldn't. The doctor said not to overexert yourself," Kevin reminded me. "But, I want to," I pleaded. "I know you want to. I want to too. But I would rather you get better first," Kevin said. "All right. I can wait I guess," I pouted. "You will have too," he smirked. "Will you at least kiss me," I pleaded. "Of course I will," Kevin said leaning in and kissing me again. Our kiss was cut short but a knock at the door. Kevin got off the bed, and headed into the bathroom. "Come in," I said once I saw he was safely in the bathroom. "Hello Dustin," Dr. Robinson said entering with my mom and dad. "Hey doc," I replied. "Dustin. I have talked with Kevin and he explained your situation. I am going to go ahead and release you so you can get back on the road. But I want you to stop at a hospital at the next city you visit. And then judging with that doctor's examination, you can decide what to do then," he informed me. "I can go. Oh thank you so much," I said excited. "Did I hear something about Dustin being able to leave," Kevin said emerging from the bathroom. "Yes. I'm going to release him, as long as he goes to doctor at your next stop. Then in about 5 weeks visit another doctor for a checkup. And then after you return to Orlando," the doctor explained to Kevin. "Don't worry doc, Ill make sure he does what you order," Kevin said with a nod. "All right. Then Ill go get the discharge papers ready," he said walking out of my room. "Dustin are you sure you want to stay on the tour," Andrea asked. I immediately shot straight up out of the bed and then gasped with pain. `Damn Dustin, remember don't use that arm.' I reminded myself. "Of course I want to stay on the tour," I yelled out. "Dustin, please don't yell," Andrea asked. "I just want what is best for you," she explained her actions. "Maybe she is right," Kevin said looking at me. Andrea and James exchanged glances. "Dustin we will be in the hall, while you and Kevin talk," James said. "Okay," I responded while my parents walked out of the room. Kevin came over and sat down on the side of the bed. He took my hand in his. "I only want what is best for you Dustin. I don't think it would be good for you to stay on the tour." He explained. I slowly took my hand out of his, "You don't want me here anymore," I asked confused. "No, that is not it at all," he quickly replied. "Of course I want you here. I wouldn't want you anywhere else. But I want you to get better first. Your health is very important to me. I'm not sure I could give you all the attention you would need while on tour. If your at home, it would be easier since your mom would be there," he explained. "Kevin I appreciate your concern, but I want to stay with you. I'm not sure I could go almost 6 months without seeing you," I said rubbing his cheek. "We could see eachother in between. We don't have a show the last three days of Thanksgiving weekend. And earlier that month we will be in St. Louis," he stated. "That isn't enough," I said while shedding a tear. "I'm not sure I could go that long without seeing you," I said in despair afraid that he would make me leave. "Oh babe. I don't want you to leave either," he said wrapping his arms tightly around me. "How about this," he began. "You stay here for a little while. Then maybe about 2 or 3 weeks before the tour is over, you head back home and rest up for college," Kevin suggested. "I guess that would be ok," I said quietly. "Good," Kevin replied. "Now lets get you ready to leave," Kevin said. Kevin went and got my clothes out of this locker by the door and helped me get dressed. It took awhile to get my shirt on, without causing excruciating pain, but I finally got it on. Kevin was sweet enough to put on and tie my shoes. A nurse came about 5 minutes after I was finished dressing, and she wheeled me in a wheelchair to the reception desk on this floor. I had one last talk with the doctor, and he handed me a prescription for pain, if I had any. I signed all the discharge papers, and Kevin wheeled me to the elevator where we went down to the parking garage. We put the wheelchair next to all the others that were down there, and walked into the parking garage. Waiting for us, were my mom and dad in a rental car. Kevin opened the door, and I scooted over and he got in. We exited from the parking garage, and headed back to the hotel the guys were staying at. "So honey, did you decide on whether you are staying or going," Andrea asked. "Ya, Kevin and I agreed that I would stay for a little while, then I'm going to come home for about 3 weeks, then head to school," I explained. "Is three weeks enough to get everything moved and ready," my father asked. "Well most of the things I'm going to be taking are already down in Orlando since I was spending the first part of the summer with him. And a lot of the things I brought with us on the tour I will use. So there isn't much I need from home," I explained to him. "I see," he said while nodding his head in understanding. After about 15 more minutes we arrived at the hospital. Dad dropped the three of us off, and he went to park the car. Kevin had told him the floor and room number we were on so he wouldn't have to ask, then get cleared. Kevin, my mom, and I all headed up to our floor. When we got there Nick was waiting at the elevators. "Hey Dustin," Nick said hugging me. "Did they release you," he asked excited. "Yep, they said I was in good enough shape to join you guys again," I smiled. "Great. I missed not being able to talk to someone close to my own age," he said. "I missed you too Nicky. I missed all the guys. Where are they anyway," I asked. "Bri, is in our room. I'm not sure where Howie or AJ are though," Nick replied. "Ok thanks," I said. "So where are you heading," I asked. "Oh to the arcade downstairs," Nick replied holding up a cup full of quarters. "Oh geeze. Just don't waste all your money on one game like I know you can," I said. That comment caused a laugh to escape from my mom's mouth. She cleared her throat quickly and stood back straight. The elevator dinged and off came AJ and my dad. "Hey Dustin! Glad you are back," he said giving me a warm hug. "Thanks good to be back," I said ending the hug. AJ, Kevin, dad, mom, and I all headed over to Brian's room while Nick went down to the arcade. We spent about an hour talking about a lot of things. Mostly my parents were telling embarrassing stories from my childhood. "And then Dustin came running out of the school and jumped in the car screaming to go. His teacher came out soaking wet with pieces of a busted water balloon all over her," Andrea struggled to get out while laughing. "Okay Mom, I think the guys have had enough of the stories," I said lifting my head off of Kevin's shoulder. "No we haven't," Brian chimed in. "Ya keep going Mrs. Richards," AJ agreed. "Mom no, please," I begged. "Oh all right. Just go and spoil all the fun," she said faking a pout. We all talked for about another hour, before my parents retired to their room 4 floors below ours. Kevin and I headed to our room hand in hand. He opened the door slowly for me. I didn't go in, instead I turned to face him. "I've missed you so much," I said hugging him tightly while burying my face in his neck. "Dustin, everything will be all right," he consoled me. He slowly ran his hand over my neck, causing me to shudder in pleasure. I slowly lifted my head out of the crook of his neck and brought my lips slowly towards his. When our lips touched it felt like a fire that had been extinguished during my unconsciousness was re-ignited and this time would not stop burning. The kiss continued to deepen right there in the hallway, where any of the guys or anybody passing could see. But we didn't care. The only thing that we cared about was the perfect moment we were going to create so the both of us would always remember in the future. "Hey guys," a voice said breaking our concentration and our kiss. "Hey Howie," I said moving my eyes towards him and away from Kevin. "How are you feeling Dustin," he asked with concern in his voice. "I've been better, but I'm doing fine," I replied honestly. "Good," he said pulling me into a hug. "I'd hate to think what were to happen if you weren't," he said quietly. This kinda shocked me. Out of all the guys Howie was the one that I talked to or spent time with the least. Other than on the plane trip here, I can't think of another time that we spoke. We pulled apart and he said good-bye and headed down to his room. Kevin took my hand and pulled me inside our room. It was dark, but Kevin led the way perfectly towards the bed. He sat down and pulled me down onto the bed along with him. "Are you tired," he asked running his hand in circles across my back. "I'm exhausted. I felt like I haven't slept in weeks. Even though I have been sleeping almost a week. I guess I just wore myself out," I admitted. "I'm tired too," he agreed. He took his shirt off and looked over to see me struggling to get mine off, without hurting my arm. "Let me," he spoke softly while grasping my shirt with his hands. He slid my arm gently out of the shirt. To my surprise there was little discomfort. He removed my shirt completely and stared at my now naked chest. I looked into his eyes and I saw the desire, but the desire soon faded when his eyes met with my own. "I want to-," but he cut me off before I could finish. He only nodded in response. And I knew that he understood, and I also knew that he wouldn't mad. "Lets just get some sleep," He suggested pulling the covers back. I agreed and removed my jeans, as did Kevin. I was left in my boxer briefs, and Kevin remained in his black boxers. I crawled under the covers and he crawled under them with me, and pulled them around our intertwined bodies. Kevin & Dustin Part 33 By: NM The morning came, and this time my sleep wasn't plagued by nightmares. I felt a stir beneath me and slowly opened my eyes. Kevin was below me, with his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I felt him slowly start squirm beneath me. I kept my gaze locked to his eyes and saw him slowly open the window to his soul. "Hi." "Hey cutie," he replied. "How are you feeling?" "I'm doing all right. I didn't have any nightmares last night." I replied. "Good. I don't like to see you uncomfortable," Kevin confessed while planting a kiss on my forehead. "So what do you want to do today," he said while moving to kiss my neck. "Well..." I longed on the well. "We could always stay in bed all day," I said with a grin. "But we do have to get back on the road, so that is out," I remembered. "Well how about we get cleaned up, order some breakfast for everyone, then pack and be on our way. That way we can have time alone on the bus together," I suggested. "That is what we planned on doing anyway," Kevin smiled. "Then why did you ask me what I wanted to do?" "Just curious to what you wanted. That's all," he replied with another kiss, but this time it was to my nose. I was starting to get up, but Kevin held me down. "Care to let me up," I asked. At first I got no response from my boyfriend. "Kev...babe...?" I still received no response. "Kev, whats wrong," I said shaking him. "What," he asked returning to the real world. "You zoned out on me," I replied. "What were you thinking about?" "You," he replied quietly with a small smile. That response caused me to blush. "Thanks, but I'm not that much to look at," I replied modestly. "Don't sell yourself short like that," he contradicted. "To me you are the most beautiful person in the whole universe. I love you. I'll always love you. I love to just look at you. And when I do look at you, I realize how lucky I am to have you in my life," Kevin spoke. I just looked him in the eye and slowly allowed my lips to come into contact with his. I slowly used my tongue and parted past his lips. His tongue met mine, and we massaged eachother's tongue with our own. After a few minutes I removed my tongue from his mouth and sat up in the bed. "We should get cleaned up," I suggested. We both crawled out of the bed. "How about you call an order breakfast, then call the others and let them now, while I shower first," Kevin suggested. "Sounds good to me," I replied. So Kevin headed for the bathroom and I called the others and told them the plans. Everyone was awake except for AJ and Nick, which was sometimes no surprise. After I called everyone we agreed to meet in our room in one hour. I then proceeded to call room service and order all the food. I told them to bring it up an hour from now, and they said that was fine. I headed to the bathroom, shedding my boxer briefs along the way. I opened the door and discovered that Kevin was still showering. I pulled the curtain back, and grabbed hold of his shoulder to help steady myself as I stepped in. "I thought we were going to shower separately," Kevin asked with a grin. "We were, but I decided to change the plans. Hope you don't mind," I said with a sly grin while hugging him. "Fine by me," Kevin said while directing me under the showerhead. Kevin grabbed the shampoo and massaged it into my scalp. After thoroughly washing my hair he rinsed my hair off. I started to take the shampoo from his hand, but he quickly sat it back on the shelf. "I've already washed my hair," he stated. He took the soap and then proceeded to wash my body. After he was finished I took the soap from him and then washed his body as he did mine. I directed his body under the showerhead and rinsed the soap from him and then shut off the water. I grabbed two towels and handed one to Kevin and proceeded to dry off. I stepped out of the shower and got dressed and fixed my hair. Kevin began his process of personal grooming while I started packing some of our things before breakfast and everyone else arrived. About 10 minutes later, Kevin emerged from the bathroom looking as beautiful as ever. Then there was a knock from the door. "I'll get it," Kevin said to me. He walked over to the door while I continued to gather and pack our things from the dresser drawer in the room. Kevin returned wheeling in a cart, while another bellboy wheeled in another cart from behind him. "Thank you," Kevin said looking at the two bellboys. "Your welcome sir," came the reply. Kevin walked over to the phone and called everyone to let them know that breakfast had arrived at our room. I faintly heard a door slam shut, then our door burst open and Nick flew in. "Morning Nick," I said looking at him running to the food cart. "Eat now...talk later," he said like a zombie. Our door opened again a minute later, and it was Brian, Howie, and AJ. We exchanged hellos and soon after my parents came down for breakfast. We all sat scattered around the room, and talked while we ate breakfast. After breakfast, we all continued to lounge around and talked, and traded embarrassing stories about one another. I know for sure that I was getting sick and tired of my mom telling very embarrassing stories about me when I was young. Kevin & Dustin Part 34 By: NM Soon enough my parents had to leave for their flight back to the United States. Neither of them wanted to leave so soon, but they both had to get back to their jobs as soon as possible. Both Kevin and I reassured them, that I would call at least 4 times a week. At first my mom wanted me to call everyday, but we got it down to 4. She also made me promise to go see a doctor, when the doctor stated, and reminded me of everything else a mother always did. They left, and all the guys had to pack up their things. Since I had packed our things earlier, that gave Kev and me an hour to ourselves. We decided to visit the Arboretum, which our hotel was about a block from. It was such a beautiful place. There were hundreds of types of plants everywhere around and a beautiful white rose bushes growing at the entrance. We walked along the path and came to a semi-secluded pond, with a pattern of rocks leading to the other side. Kevin started across and I followed. Apparently one of the rocks was loose, because the next thing I know, Kevin I hear Kevin scream and then a splash. I stood where I was and looked at him. He was completely soaked. The next thing I knew, I busted up laughing. "What," he said shaking his head, "You think this is funny," he asked sarcastically. "Yes...hehehe." I replied. "Hehehe.....I'm sorry Kev, but hehehe......that was hilarious, hehehe. If you had seen your expression you would be.....hehehe...laughing too!" I managed to get out. He started to get up, and I offered him my hand. That probably was not the smartest thing, since I had been having a laugh attack for him falling into the water. Now it was his turn to laugh as he grabbed a hold of my hand with both of his and pulled me in along with him. I fell ontop of him, so we both went crashing back under the water. We both surfaced, but I was still ontop of him. "So," he said running his hand over my now soaked, transparent tee-shirt, "do you still think it's as funny?" "No, it's actually cold," I replied. "Here," he said pulling me closer to his body, "Let me help you keep warm," while gently kissing me. He slowly pulled back, then stared for a moment. It was as if he was searching for something. Then after a moment he smiled, like he found what ever he was looking for, and leaned in to kiss me again. The kiss got heavier. His hands were running all over my body, as my hands were running up and down his chest and abs. He moved and began to suck on the nape of my neck, while I began to kiss and nibble on his ear. Our make-out session lasted for only a few minutes longer, as we both noticed the wind began to pick up, which, in turn, made the water feel even colder against our wet skin. We both pulled back from eachother, and I started laughing again. "Now whats so funny," he demanded. "Here we are...hehehe....out here in the op-open.....making out.....when anyone cou-could have walked here, and s-saw us," I said while catching my breath from laughing so hard, and trying to talk at the same time. "Y-your right," he said joining with me in laughing. After we managed to stop laughing we helped eachother out of the pond, and headed back for the bus, that was waiting at the hotel. All of our things were already aboard the bus. Kevin got some clean, but comfortable clothes on our long journey, while I went inside the bus, and got a nice hot, relaxing shower started. Kevin joined me in the bathroom, which wasn't the most comfortable. The bus bathroom, like on most buses is very small, and with two people in there, along with the shower, toilet, and sink, didn't help much. We somehow both managed to get undressed, and Kevin joined me in the shower. That was even a tighter squeeze. There was literally no room to move around. We helped washed eachother's hair, and somehow we managed to wash eachother's bodies, and then we got out. We dried off, and put on the clean clothes that Kevin had gotten from our bags. "Are these yours?" I asked referring to the blue Adidas pants I was wearing, along with the sweatshirt. "Yep they are," he replied. "Just like this is yours," he added showing me my black Adidas pants, and my green Nike sweatshirt. I looked at him, and was surprised he could wear my clothes. The sweatshirt looked kinda tight on him, but that was fine with me since it showed an outlined of his nice, developed upper body. My Adidas pants were fine on him though. We exited from the bathroom headed to the back into the lounge. AJ and Nick were already back, sitting on the floor there playing Nintendo. "Hey guys," I said sitting down on the couch next to Kevin. "Hey," Nick replied still like in a zombie state. "Did you two have fun in the bus bathroom," AJ asked putting the game on pause. "AJ! Come on, we are playing a game here. Un-pause it," Nick demanded. "Shut-up Nick," AJ replied. "So...what were you two doing in there," AJ pried. "Taking a shower," Kevin replied. "Why, did you two get a little messy," AJ asked with a huge grin. "No. We went for a walk in the Arboretum a block from the hotel, and they have this pond, and Kev fell in. Then he pulled me in. "Uh huh, sure...I believe you," AJ replied. "Whatever, now un-pause the game," Nick demanded. "Chill Nicky," AJ replied resuming their game. I saw Brian come onto the bus, and sit up in the front. "I'll be right back," I said getting up. "ok," Kevin replied letting my hand out of his grasp. I walked up to the front and sat down next to Brian. "Hey." "Hey Dustin, how are ya doing," he asked looking up. "I'm all right. A little fatigued, but Ill be okay." I answered his question. "How are you," I asked. "Me and Nicky are having some problems," he confessed. "Whats wrong," I asked concerned. "Well, I thought that maybe we could move in together," he replied with a sniffle. That was when I noticed his puffy eyes, and I figured he had been crying. I saw a tear make its way down his right cheek. I moved my hand to his face to wipe it off. "What did he say," I asked. "H-he said that everything was moving t-too fast...and t-that h-he needed some t-time apart," he spoke softly. "Oh Brian," I gasped. I suddenly realized that my hand was still against his face, and gently rubbing his cheek. I moved closer to him, and Brian in turn moved closer to me. He gently wrapped his arms around my waist, and I wrapped my arms around his back. He buried his face into my chest, and let all the tears out. I was facing the door, and I saw Howie come on the bus. He was about to say something, but he noticed Brian, and headed to the back with the everyone else. After a few minutes, I felt Kevin behind me. I gently turned me head, and he was there. He went sat down on the other side of Brian and hugged him tightly too, while Brian still had a tight grasp on me. I heard his breathing slow significantly, and realized that he had fallen asleep. Kevin gently carried Brian to his bunk, gently placed him inside so he could get some rest. "Dustin, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired," Kevin confessed. "I am too," I replied taking my lover's hand in my own. "Lets go," I said pulling him the three steps to his bunk. Kevin crawled in first, and I followed. His back was against the wall, and I had my back against his stomach, and allowed him to spoon me. "I love you Dustin," Kevin said quietly kissing the back of my neck. "I love you too," I replied taking his hand that was draped over my side and gently kissed it, then placed it back in its original place. He snuggled closer, and we slowly drifted off to sleep. To Be Continued??? Send all comments to author_nm@yahoo.com I hope you have enjoyed this installment of Kevin & Dustin. I know I had a wonderful time writing it. Now this would have been out sooner, but I had some hardware problems, and this installment was erased. I had less than half saved to a disk, but the rest I re-wrote. Some of the original parts are in here, some are not. Some are new ideas. So, what is going on with Nick and Brian's relationship??? Is Nick not ready to commit??? Or is Brian pushing Nick too fast??? And what is going on between Dustin and Brian??? I guess you will just have to wait and find out.
