Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2004 08:37:28 -0400 From: rye encoke Subject: Mark-and-Rye-37 Okay the usual stuff that nobody reads. This is a gay story with lots of gay sex. If you aren't supposed to be here, leave. The work is mine and unless you ask you can't post it anywhere else. I have no clue if any member of Westlife is gay, so this is all my fantasy. Email me at rye_encoke@hotmail.com to tell me what you like or hate. The author wishes to acknowledge and thank the archivist for Nifty for allowing this story to be published here. Authors Notes: Someone emailed me and said my story is pretty unrealistic since I make everyone the boys come in contact with gay. Yep I do. In my world it's not one in ten who are gay, it's more like 8 in 10 who are gay or bi. Don't like it? Stop reading. Remember that none of this is true or realistic, it's not meant to be. Just suspend your disbelief and enjoy it. DEDICATION: To my Davey and to Glenn. Love ya both, always. - Surprise! - Kian walked into the bus to see that he and Jill were the last ones to arrive. He noticed two young teens with Carl and Alex and smiled as he thought of Spooky's drawing and the two unknown figures. "Hey Sweets. How was your trip? Where's Jill?" Bryan asked as he got up and gave Kian a warm hug and kissed his neck. "Heya Bry boy, it was awesome. I am an Uncle, well an Unca. Jill's nephew Daniel adopted me and I am now his Unca Keen," Kian beamed brightly as everyone chuckled. "Daniel's a sweetie, I am Unca Wye," Rye smiled. "He's a sweetie for sure. And he also has an Unca Mawk, Unca Sane, Unca Bwyan and Unca Nicky," Kian chuckled. "Woohoo, I'm an Unca," Bryan did a little victory dance causing everyone to laugh. "Jill's just in the other bus, straightening up a bit, she should be in shortly. I have something amazing to show you," Kian said then pointed at Billy and Jesse, "and you two make sense now." Everyone looked oddly at Kian as he took out Daniel's picture and laid it on the table. "You guy's remember Marg and Johann? Well they have nothing on Daniel. That kid makes them look normal. This is a picture he drew for me the day I arrived," Kian began to point out the pictures, "Mark and Rye as a couple went to see Corey and Nick. Daniel said they were on tv and knew that this one sang 'Oh baby can't you see, can't you see', me and Jill as a couple and the family, the boys together visiting Alex and Hassan who he called a king and drew him with a crown. Then he drew Ed and Jay as a couple visiting a married couple with horses. Matt and Andy as a couple visiting their new brothers who are a couple. Carl and Alex visiting with a younger couple. And finally Simon and Cleo. These are the five planes that flew us all." Kian sat back and let it sink in. "Fuck me," whispered Nicky finally breaking the silence. Kian chuckled, "That's not the half of it. He knew my name was Sweets and called me Unca Sweets. Jill was so shocked she dropped her plate when she heard him say it. He wanted a nickname and so we now have our nephew who wants to be called Spooky," "He is spooky for sure," Bryan said. "Yeah but I made very sure to hold nothing in my heart but love for him since I figure he can feel everything I feel. I told him I don't really think he is spooky or scary but he may surprise me sometimes. He looked me in the eyes and it felt like he was looking at my soul. Then he smiled and just nodded. So when you meet him you have to remember that he may freak you out a bit but he is still a little boy and needs to be loved," Kian finished. "That's so cool. How soon do you think we can go see him?" Bryan asked eagerly. "Hey guys," Jill smiled. "UNCA WYE!" a raven haired blur threw himself at Rye. "Daniel?!" Rye cried and hugged the small boy to him. "Surprise," Kian smiled. "Marg and Johann are flying out earlier to talk over Daniel and his gifts with the family. They suggested we take him away for a few days so we have the munchkin till the end of tour," Jill said as she sat next to Mark and slipped her hand into his, smiling as Mark squeezed her hand in a loving greeting. "Hey Spooky look who else is here," Kian got the little boy's attention. "WESTBOYS!" Daniel cried as he looked at everyone. Everyone chuckled at the little boy. "That's right. Now want to play a game? You haven't met anyone yet but I bet you can guess everyone's name," Kian said. Daniel nodded. "That's Unca Mawk, he is mawwied to Unca Wye. See they have wings," Daniel said and held up Rye's hand to show the ring. Everyone gasped as they noticed for the first time the rings. "Oh my God did you guys?" Shane asked. "Mark proposed and I accepted yes," Rye said bashfully. Everyone oohed and aahed over the rings for awhile until Rye prodded Spooky to continue. "That's Unca Sane and Unca Nicky and Unca Bwyan. Hi Unca Bwyan," Daniel said as he moved to sit on Bryan's lap. "Hiya Spooky, I like you a lot," Bryan said as he hugged the boy to him who giggled merrily and began to rub Bryan's arm. Bryan looked at the little boy in what could only be described as loving awe. "Hey Spooky, remember you knew my nickname and called me Uncle Sweets. Well Jill and the other boys have nicknames too, do you know them?" Kian asked. Daniel looked around and nodded but didn't answer. Kian realized the boy wasn't going to say any more but it was enough that he knew the boy knew. "Who else's names do you know?" Bryan asked. "Simon," Daniel pointed, "Like Simon says." Simon smiled warmly at the boy and nodded. "And that's Cleo, like a queen," Daniel said. "Wow that's pretty good Spooky. Who else," Bryan asked. Daniel looked around the room and pointed, "Matt and Ed. They awe big and vewy vewy bwave. See Ed bwoke his hand and saved a bunch of soldiews." Ed looked surprised but smiled at the little boy. Daniel giggled and then pointed to Jay and Andy, "A puppy and a kitty," Everyone looked surprised as Daniel said the nicknames of the two men. "You're doing really good Spooky. Who else?" Bryan encouraged. "Alex and Cawl and Jesse and Billy," Daniel finished. "That's everyone. So you excited to be staying with us on the bus?" Mark asked. "Yeah. Unca Keen says I get to sing on stage," the little boy said excitedly. "Do you know any of our songs?" Nicky asked with a smile. Daniel jumped off of Bryan's lap and very seriously began to move his little body and sing, "Bop bop baby bop bop baby bop bop baby," Everyone laughed and applauded. "You're hired. You can sing with us," Shane said as he reached out and pulled Daniel into his lap and hugged him. The next couple of hours were spent with everyone telling about their weekend. Daniel conked out about 10 minutes into it and was sprawled across both Shane and Bryan. Bryan was softly stroking the boys hair and watched him constantly. Shane noticed and after everyone had told about their weekend he leaned over to Bryan to whisper, "He's sweet isn't he?" "Yeah. Too bad I can never be a dad. I would make a good dad," Bryan said softly, his voice tinged with sadness. "You can be a dad. There are thousands of kids out there to adopt. And there are other ways too, like getting a surrogate mother. And you would make an awesome dad. I promise you my love, with everything in my heart, we three will all be dad's together," Shane said. "Really?" Bryan asked and turned to Shane with tears in his eyes. Nicky had heard the conversation and leaned around Shane to softly caress Bryan's cheek. "We both promise it our Bry boy. You will be a dad one day, and one day soon. With all the connections Rye has he can make it happen for us. For now let's just focus on being great Uncles for little Spooky there," Nicky said. Bryan sighed, his heart suddenly light as a feather, and looked down into the innocent eyes of Daniel who had woken. "Hey Spooky. Didn't mean to wake you up," Bryan said softly. "It's time to go pwactice. Unca Sane is wight, you will be a daddy weally soon, but I'm not allowed to tell you when," Daniel said as he reached up and held Bryan's face in both his hands. Bryan smiled and nodded at the little boy then leaned down and kissed his forehead. "Hey guys, time for sound check," Ed said suddenly. "See, time to pwactice. I want to pwactice too," Daniel said as he sat up. Everyone headed inside the venue and went through sound check including Daniel. When everything was set for the night Bryan held Daniel back. "You guys go ahead back, me and Spooky have to practice his song for tonight," Bryan said. "Yeah we need to pwactice you go ahead," Daniel said in a very serious tone causing everyone to laugh. - Before the Concert - "Unca Mawk, me and Unca Bwyan awe gonna sing a song togethew," Daniel crowed with delight as he flung himself at Mark, secure in the knowledge that his Uncle would catch him. "Yes I know. Which one are you going to do?" Mark asked. "Unca Bwy Boy says I can't say it's a suwpwise," Daniel giggled and wriggled with delight in Mark's arms before throwing his arms around Mark and kissing him sweetly. "That's cool, I like surprises and Bry boy is always surprising us," Mark said as he looked at Bryan and raised an eyebrow. Bryan shook his head knowing that Mark was silently asking if he had told the boy his nickname. "Come on Spooky let's get Matt and Andy and go shopping real quick to get you a cool outfit for stage," Bryan said and took Daniel into his arms. "I only bwought wegular clothes, I can't go onstage unless I look cool. Unca Bwyan is gonna buy me cool clothes," Daniel clapped his hands with delight as Bryan smiled and went to find security. Soon Bryan and Nicky were in a van with Matt and Andy heading to a mall. "Okay this should be easy. Our costumes for the last part of the concert is the all white stuff. So we can find a pair of white pants and a t-shirt for him. He has white runners. It would be cool if we could get him a long coat in white like we have but if we can't then we will go with what we can find," Nicky said. The men all strode through the mall. Daniel held both Nicky and Bryan's hands and was all smiles as they lifted him up and swung him every few steps. They first went to a Wal-mart and found white sweat pants and a t-shirt for the boy. They also found a plain white ball cap that would work. They then travelled around the mall for a bit looking in various stores until they came across a tuxedo shop. In the front display was a child mannequin wearing a floor length white morning suit. Nicky and Bryan grinned at each other and nearly knocked over the clerk in the store they were so eager to get inside. In no time at all the four men were on the way back with their purchases and an ecstatic little boy. - Bop Bop Baby Boy - The concert had been amazing. The boys were pumped up and excited as they performed for their nephew, since they all felt it was really to him they were performing. He jumped around and danced backstage with Billy and Jesse and the guys would often turn and wave or smile at him. Finally the encores came. Rye did an encore then the boys did one. Jill and Rye did a dance number then the final encore came. The boys stepped out on stage and Bryan stepped forward and raised his hand for quiet. "We want to thank you all for coming tonight. We dedicate this last encore to our newest friend and our nephew. He is going to join us so please make him welcome. Come on out Spooky," Bryan knelt down and held out his arms and the little boy ran from offstage into Bryan's arms. He was the very definition of adorable in his white tuxedo jacket and baseball cap with white runners. "So how did you like the show Spooky," Bryan asked the boy as he picked him up and held him. "It was awesome possum," Spooky replied and Bryan smiled at the little boy using the term. "So who's your favourite band?" Bryan asked. "BACKSTWEET BOYS!" Spooky crowed with delight and clapped his hands causing the boys and the audience to laugh. "Well we will see about introducing you to some of them. For now how about we sing a song before we go back to the busses?" Bryan asked. Daniel nodded and said, "Bop bop baby." Bryan moved back with the rest of the boys and got into line with Daniel by his side. The music started and the boys began to dance. Daniel had learned some of the simpler moves and improvised the rest. He was mic'd and when the chorus came he sang along to the "bop bop baby's". When it was over the crowd cheered and began to chant. "Spooky! Spooky! Spooky!" The boys all smiled and Bryan took Daniel's hand and led him to the front stage and let him bow. They all waved and left the stage to be escorted back to the busses. "You were a hit Spooky," Nicky said. "They said my name," Daniel said happily, referring to the crowd chanting his name, as Uncle Bryan scooped him into his arms. "Okay let's go," Ed said as the wall of security went up around the group and they headed for the busses. Soon enough everyone was safe and waiting for the crowds to disperse so the busses could begin the trip to the next city. Tonight it was just the boys, Jill and Rye on the big bus along with Daniel. "Okay let's get changed and showered then we can watch the video interview with Corey before we head to bed," Rye said. "I need to showew too," Daniel said, "Unca Bwyan can showew me." Bryan looked surprised. "Okay Daniel, you and Bryan first," Jill said. "Really? It's okay?" Bryan asked. "Of course, why wouldn't it be?" Jill asked. Bryan shrugged and looked embarrassed. Jill came over and wrapped her arms around Bryan ignoring the smell and the wetness of the sweaty singer. "Bry boy I know what kind of man you are and I trust you completely. I am not one of those ignorant people who think gay people molest children. Now Daniel wants his Unca Bwyan to get him ready for bed. You aren't going to disappoint him are you?" Jill asked. Bryan swallowed a lump in his throat and shook his head. "Auntie Jill you have to call me Spooky too. That is what the people called me so you have to now," Daniel said. "Okay Spooky you two go shower up. Me and Uncle Kian are gonna go to one of the other busses and Rye and Mark will go to the other. We can all finish pretty quick and be back before it's time to roll," Jill grabbed Kian and headed for Simon and Cleo's bus. "Come on Spooky let's go," Bryan picked up the boy and headed for the bathroom. Bryan ran the water to get it the right temperature then helped Daniel off with his clothes. "You have to come in with me, I am too little to do it myself," Daniel said. Bryan nodded and took off everything but his boxers. He wasn't sure if he should be naked in front of the little boy. "You can't weaw undawears in the showew you have to take them off too. My daddy does it all the time. You sit in the tub that way you can wash me," Daniel instructed. Bryan nodded again and shucked his shorts then sat in the tub and helped the little boy in. He grabbed the shower wand and soaked himself then wet Daniel down. "Is it too hot?" Bryan asked. "It's just wight. Youw penis is weally big. Biggew than my daddy's," Daniel said conversationally. Bryan was surprised but obviously Daniel's parents were very open about things like this so he went with it. "Yeah mine is bigger than most but I am taller than most men too. Penises come in all shapes and sizes," Bryan said. "See mine is unciwcsized. Daddy says I have to keep it clean. You have to clean it for me," Daniel instructed. Bryan nodded as he lathered up his hands and began to wash the little boy. He worked from head to toe front and back, making sure to clean the boy well under his arms and his feet and his foreskin. He almost bolted when the little boy's penis got hard. "My daddy says it's okay when that happens. He says it's natuwal. Do you have apple sampoo, I like apple sampoo," Daniel chatted. "Sorry Spooky no apple, but this is Mark's it smells like strawberry see," Bryan said as he let the little boy smell. Daniel smiled and let Bryan wash his hair then rinse him off. "Now you wash," Daniel said. Daniel stood there holding the shower wand as Bryan quickly washed himself and let Daniel rinse him off. "I get to wash your haiw now," Daniel said as he handed the wand back to Bryan and moved to stand behind him. He held out his hands in a cup and waited for Bryan to put the shampoo in his hands. Bryan smiled as he felt the little boy lean forward, his body pressing on Bryan's back as he washed Bryan's hair. Bryan sighed. He felt the little boy's still hard penis on his back but he felt nothing sexual, he did not become erect, he was not a pervert. He knew he wasn't really, but it had always been a sort of fear of his, the media always preached that gays were all pedophiles and after awhile you can even start to believe it yourself. He felt nothing sexual towards the small boy. What he did feel was a deep love and need to protect and nurture the young spirit. He felt a need stir within him that he had never felt before, the need to care for and guide a young life into adulthood. He wanted someone to call him daddy and he wanted someone to look up to him. He wanted someone to come to him when they had a nightmare and someone he could teach things to. "Winse please," Daniel broke through Bryan's thoughts. Bryan handed the wand back to Daniel and closed his eyes as the soapy water was washed away. He took the wand from Daniel when it was handed to him and he turned the water off. He stepped out of the tub and quickly dried himself then wrapped the small boy up in another towel and lifted him out of the tub. He rubbed him dry and then picked him up, still wrapped in the towel and left for the bedroom. "Shower's free," he called and saw that Shane and Nicky were also going to share the shower. "Wait," Daniel said and everyone stopped in the hall and looked at the little boy. "What is it Spooky?" Nicky asked. "Two yeaws," the boy said. "Two years? What's that mean?" Shane asked. "You will be daddy's in two yeaws. I wasn't supposed to say but now I can. He will be biggew than me just a bit. His mommy and daddy will be in a caw accident and he will be vewy vewy scared," Daniel said. Bryan's eyes got big and then he hugged the boy to him tightly. "Thanks little one. Come on let's get you dry and into your pj's," Bryan went into their bedroom then came out and ran to Jill and Kian's room to get Daniels suitcase which he brought back to his room. Shane and Nicky were in the shower already. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Daniel asked. "You sure can," Bryan said. Tears fell from his eyes as he helped the little boy into his pajama's. Daniel said nothing about the tears just waited til they were both dressed then held onto Bryan as they went to the lounge to wait for the others to return. - Briefly with Nicky and Shane - "Do you believe him?" Nicky asked. "Spooky? About us being daddy's in two years? Yeah I do actually. If it had been Marg and Johann that told us we would have believed them and this kid seems way more psychic. I wonder what he meant when he said our son would be bigger than him? Did he mean he will be bigger than he is now, or bigger than he is then?" Shane wondered aloud. "Who cares. We are going to have a son. He will be pretty young. Depending on what Spooky meant he could be anywhere from 6 to maybe 10 or so," Nicky said as he lathered up Shane's hair. "Did you see our Bry boy's face when he said it. I never knew Bryan wanted to be a father so much. He is going to be the best dad ever," Shane said. "He will. We all will. I wonder what he meant when he said he wasn't supposed to say before but now he can?" Nicky asked. "I'm not sure. I bet he talks to spirits or angels and at first he wasn't supposed to say but for some reason now he can," Shane shrugged and the two were silent for a time, thinking to themselves. "What do you think of Jesse and Billy? They are quite the pair aren't they. Jesse is very feminine but Billy just adores him," Nicky said as he rinsed Shane's hair. "They are good for each other. I guess they were just screwing each other with no thoughts about love at all. Carl and Alex showed them how to love. Carl said it was mostly Alex and Alex gave us the credit," Shane said. "And of course we can't take much of that credit either. It's all Mark and Rye. They were the ones who showed us how to love," Nicky said as he kissed Shane's back and turned to let Shane wash his hair. "Did you see the two of them holding each other and dancing. They danced with Spooky too. For the slow dances one of them had him in their arms so they could all dance together. It was pretty sweet," Shane said. "Yeah I saw it. Let's make sure we include those two when we have fun. It was nice of Carl and Alex to bring them but there is such an age difference it would be nice if they hung out with us, or at least with Bryan and Andy," Nicky suggested. "Sounds good. Speaking of Andy, how are you feeling about Matt and Andy and their new brothers?" Shane asked. "Very happy for them of course, and also kind of excited about them joining our family. I was surprised to find out that everyone else thinks of us all as a family. I mean Ed and Jay, Carl and Alex, even Simon and Cleo they all said they feel as if we are all part of one family. It made me feel......" Nicky stopped unable to come up with the right word. "Happy? Excited? Warm? Loved?" Shane threw out some words. "Yes," Nicky responded. "Which one?" Shane asked. "All of them. I just feel so many things but all good," Nicky giggled as Shane fondled his bum briefly. "How do you feel about bringing them into our sharing?" Shane asked. "Well we already met them and Matt and Andy love them and want to bring them into it. I am for it. I think they will be going beyond what we all do. I mean I think they will be doing oral and maybe even anal. We won't be doing that. I mean we won't even ever suck Matt or Andy, but I got the feeling the four of them are going to become very intimate," Nicky said. "Yeah me too. That's nice though. And we will all still cuddle and even play the game. And when we all made love like we did, together yet still only with our own lovers, that was amazing and I want to do that again soon," Shane said. "Yeah it was nice. I wonder if Bry boy would top us both so we could be the ones holding the others?" Nicky suggested. "I am sure he would. If we do it that way how do we decide who holds who?" Shane asked. "You want to hold Andy don't you? It's okay you can do that. I like holding Matt and his nipples are awesome," Nicky answered. "Thanks Love, I knew you would understand. Let's get out now," Shane said as he turned the water off and the two men headed to the bedroom. "Looks like Spooky is spending the night with us," Shane pointed out. "That should be fine. We just need to sleep in underwear is all. God it's been so long since I slept in anything I hope I can get to sleep," Nicky chuckled. They threw on sleep pants and headed to the lounge where everyone was already sitting, waiting for them. "Sorry we're late," Shane said as he sat on the sofa. Nicky sat beside him and Bryan was on the floor between them holding Daniel on his lap. Bryan wore some flannel sleep pants while Daniel wore some Scooby Doo pajama bottoms. "Where's your shirt Spooky?" Nicky asked as he ruffled the boy's hair. "Unca Bwyan isn't weawing one so I'm not eithew," Daniel announced. "Oh okay. So you only wear what Bry boy wears?" Shane asked. "Yes and he only weaws what I weaw so he has to sleep naked tonight," Daniel said. There was a few moments of silence before Bryan spoke up, "Okay Spooky whatever you say. You remember earlier how your penis got hard? Well sometimes that happens to us as well. It's natural though just like your daddy said and nothing to be scared or embarrassed about." Daniel sighed and rolled his eyes, "I know that." Everyone laughed and it was settled although both Shane and Nicky felt a little odd about the discussion. Bryan turned to them both and smiled. "He's a pretty advanced kid so no worries," Bryan said then turned to watch the video. Daniel watched excitedly then crowed with delight when he saw Nick Carter. "You know Nick Cawtew?" he asked loudly. "We just met him but he is very nice. How about if I invite him and Corey to come for our last show on Friday and you can meet him?" Rye asked. "Yay!" Daniel cheered. When it was over everyone commented on how well it went and how fun it had all looked. Everyone stood and kisses were given out, particularly to Daniel, then everyone headed for their rooms. Once in their room the boys looked to Bryan for leadership. "Okay Spooky, down to the skin," Bryan said and set the boy on the bed and steadied him while he took off his pajama bottoms. Once the little boy was naked Bryan dropped his own sleep pants and crawled into the bed. Daniel quickly crawled in beside him then the two turned to watch Shane and Nicky. Nicky shrugged and dropped his own pants then crawled in next to the little boy. Shane stood there embarrassed. "I feel so perverted, I have a hard-on," Shane said with great embarrassment. "Boyo don't be worried. We all get them at inappropriate times and nerves and new situations like this sure don't help," Nicky said. Daniel jumped up and pointed, "See the cold made my penis hawd too. Mine is diffewent than Unca Bwyan's. See I have fouw skins," Bryan giggled and pulled the little boy back down and cuddled him, "You have foreskin, not four skins," "Oh. How come you don't?" Daniel asked. "Some mommy's and daddy's like their sons to have it and some don't. So when we were born our parents told the doctors to snip it off," Bryan explained. "Oh. Are you and Unca Sane and Unca Nicky like mommy's and daddy's?" Daniel asked as Shane slipped under the covers, grateful for the boy's distraction. "Yes we are, we love each other very much," Bryan answered though with a hint of wariness in his voice, wondering what the next question would be. Daniel turned to look at Shane and Nicky, "Do you have vagina's?" Shane and Nicky looked stunned and Bryan burst into loud laughter. Bryan wouldn't stop laughing and it went on for some time. Nicky and Shane began to laugh soon after and pretty soon all of them were laughing. Nobody noticed as Shane slipped out the door after he had calmed a bit. - Briefly with Jill and Kian - "Come in," Jill's voice said and she smiled to see a naked, and a somewhat distraught, Shane step into their room. "Holy shit that kid is smart. He asked us if we were like mommy's and daddy's and when we said yes he asked me and Nicky if we had vagina's. How the hell do we deal with those kinds of questions?" Shane asked. Kian burst into laughter, imitating what had just happened in the other room. Jill at least managed to answer Shane's question around her own laughter. "His parents are very open with him. He knows the words and basically what they mean. He knows the very basics of sex. That a daddy puts his penis in his mommy's vagina and they love each other and that's how babies are made. He has somehow put together that you three must have sex. Let Bryan handle it," Jill said. She had quickly realized how well Bryan was with dealing with the little boy. Shane frowned at this non-helpful answer and left but not before he heard Jill finally let go of her own laughter. - Back with Spooky - "Okay Spooky, boys don't have vagina's. Boys only have penises. That's why we need to find a boy who lost his mommy and daddy so we can take care of him cuz we can't have one of our own," Bryan explained as he smiled at Shane who slipped back in. "Oh. But daddy says that when a mommy and daddy love each othew he puts his penis in hew vagina and they kiss," Daniel insisted. "If you have a mommy and a daddy that's how it works. But if you have two or three daddy's you just rub your penises together and kiss each other," Bryan stated calmly. "Oh. That makes sense. When I wub my penis on my teddy beaw it feels good," Daniel said. "Understand now sweetie?" Bryan asked. Daniel nodded and rolled over so he was laying almost completely on top of Bryan now. "Night Unca Bwyan. Night Unca Sane. Night Unca Nicky," Daniel said sleepily. "Night Spooky," the three men said. In no time at all the soft snores of the little boy could be heard. "You are going to be the greatest dad ever. I love you so much our Bry boy," Shane's voice said. "Oh God me too," an emotional Nicky said. Bryan blushed in the dark and felt the bed move. He felt Nicky slide in close to him and felt Nicky's arm come up to hold onto the boy who was laying across Bryan's chest. He felt Shane slip in the other side of him and move to hold him. "Love you all," Bryan said softly, obviously including Daniel in his endearment. Everyone slept on as the busses traveled to the next stop. - Way Too Early - The boys were woken early the next morning by a small body falling across all three of them. Daniel had woken early and gone to the bathroom then had come back and launched himself onto the bed and the three men. "Oomph. Come here you little munchkin so I can tickle you to death," Bryan said in a mock angry voice. "Nooooo!" Daniel giggled but threw himselt at Bryan any way. "How come my chest is all wet?" Bryan said suddenly and looked to see what was on his chest. "I dwool!" Daniel said in a high pitched giggle causing everyone to laugh. "You do do you? Well people who drool get belly farts don't they guys?" Bryan said as he sat up and pinned the boy down. "Why yes they do, those are the rules," Shane said with a broad smile as Bryan leaned forward and blew noisily against Daniel's tummy. The little boy screamed in delight at the attention he was getting then he quickly sat up and threw himself on Nicky and blew on Nicky's tummy. Soon everyone was giggling and tickling each other. Finally though they all stopped and lay panting together in a mass of naked flesh. Suddenly Spooky sat up, "A fiwe. At the concewt place." "What?" The boys all asked at the same time. "The concewt place is on fiwe. It is all buwned down," Spooky said. Shane jumped out of bed and ran to the lounge where Rye and the others were already up. Rye was speaking on the cell phone. Soon Nicky and Bryan, still holding onto Daniel, came into the lounge. Rye said a few more things then hung up. "There was an accident at the arena. It burned down last night. Nobody was hurt but we can't do the concert," Rye said. "Yeah Spooky just told us," Nicky said. "You can do it in the big pawk," Daniel said. "What park Spooky?" Jill asked. "Thewe is a big pawk by a lake. They need to cut the gwass but you can still do it," Daniel said. Everyone turned to Rye who flipped open his cell phone again to call Liam. "While Rye figures it out why don't you four go get dressed. Cute as you all are I think you are corrupting our little nephew," Mark smiled and Shane and Nicky blushed. "Nobody is corrupting anybody. Spooky knows all about his body and our bodies. There is nothing dirty or wrong with being naked or seeing another man's body," Bryan said calmly but with an authority that was new to everyone. Mark looked shocked then stood and went to Bryan, "I'm sorry Bry boy. I was trying to be funny. You're right. Thank you for reminding me." Mark kissed Bryan sweetly and Bryan let his tongue touch Mark's briefly. "How come you touch youw tongues?" Daniel asked breaking the two out of the moment. "Remember how we said how nice it feels when you rub your penis? Well there are lots of different ways to feel nice. When you get bigger and find a girlfriend or boyfriend of your own who you love very much you can try those things as well," Bryan explained and everyone's mouth dropped open at how easily and calmly Bryan talked to the boy. "But Unca Mawk is Unca Wye's boyfwend not youws," Daniel continued. "Yes that's true. But Mark and I love each other very very very much and sometimes, in very special circumstances, even if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend you can share those kinds of things with other people. As long as your boyfriend or girlfriend knows about it and says it's okay," Bryan said. Daniel looked deep in thought for a minute then said, "That will be okay. My boyfwend will like that." "Your boyfwend, I mean boyfriend?" Shane asked. "Once he is bettew fwom the caw accident and we awe biggew we will be boyfwends," Daniel stated. "You mean the boy who will be our son is going to be your boyfriend?" Bryan questioned. Daniel nodded. "So I will be like your other dad?" Bryan asked with a quaver in his voice and Daniel nodded again. "Oh wow that is so great Spooky. Come on let's get dressed," Bryan led his lovers back to their room leaving a stunned group behind them. "Daniel is gay?" Mark asked. "The boys are going to have a son?" Kian questioned. "Their son and Daniel are going to be boyfriends?" Jill finished. "Rubbing your penis feels nice?" Rye said then burst into laughter as everyone turned to look at him. The scene quickly fell apart as everyone dissolved into hysterics. - The Day - Rye's cell phone rang and he spoke to Liam for a bit. Eventually he hung up. "Well Daniel was right," Rye began, "You mean Spooky was right," Kian corrected and Rye rolled his eyes. "Okay Spooky was right. There is a very large park in the city. The city is very happy that the concert is going to go ahead and are going to work all day today to get the park ready. We can do the concert tomorrow instead of today. There is a small campground just a little outside the city that is owned by one of the city councillors that they are going to clear out for us so we can stay there. We are going to give all proceeds of the concert to the city and I believe that an anonymous benefactor has donated a rather sizable sum to rebuild the city's arena," Rye finished. Mark smiled and curled up in Rye's lap, "You are too much Angel." Rye grinned and pulled his lover to him. "So this time when you say camping you actually mean camping?" Kian asked. "Yeah. The campground is on the other side of the lake from where we will perform. There are trails and stuff and we can build a campfire," Rye said. "Hear that Spooky. We are gonna camp out in the woods for a day or two," Jill said as her nephew came out and climbed into Kian's lap. Kian wrapped his arms around the boy lovingly. "Can we have mossmellows?" Spooky asked as he lay his head on Kian's chest and snuggled in close. "Of course, but not too many. We don't want to get sick," Bryan said. "Unca Wye did you call Nick Cawtew yet?" Daniel suddenly asked. "No not yet. I can call him now if you would like to say hello," Rye suggested and smiled as he suddenly found a small boy in his lap. Rye dialed the number and got no answer on Nick's cell. Playing a hunch he dialed Corey's number which picked up after only one ring. "Corey's phone," Nick's voice said. "Hi Nick it's Angel," Rye said. "Was it you who just called my cell?" Nick asked. "Yeah. How come you didn't answer?" Rye asked. "Couldn't find my pants fast enough and Corey's rang right after," Nick said. "Do I want to know why you don't have your pants on and Corey's phone was so close?" Rye teased. "Well I would love to tell you we were having wild monkey sex but the truth is I'm a slob and my clothes are all over my room. Corey's phone was sitting on the table. He is at work and forgot it here when he left this morning," Nick said. "This morning?" Rye continued to tease. "Come on. You know we are just really close. There is nothing going on between us other than what you showed us. I don't know if there ever will be or not," Nick said sounding exasperated. Whether from Rye's teasing or from feeling frustrated at the relationship he had with Corey wasn't clear. "Sorry Nick. Everything okay between you two?" Rye asked. "It's great. I have never felt so close to someone, not even Brian or my own brother Aaron. I am not pushing anything between us mainly because I am not sure what I really want myself. I just want things to move ahead as they are supposed to. Now what were you calling for," Nick changed the subject. "Oh yeah. Well we were gonna invite you and Corey to our last concert. We figured Corey could tape it for MTV and I have my very special and excited nephew who loves a certain Nick Carter and just knows that his Uncle Rye can convince Nick Carter to come see him," Rye said and he heard Nick laugh. "God, Corey has had this job for like a week now and between you guys and me we are turning him into a superstar. Hope he doesn't get a big head," Nick said. "He won't. He is gonna be huge one day Nick and he is gonna need you by his side. So you wanta come visit?" Rye asked. "Ask him to come tomowwow and stay with us," Spooky asked. "Is that him?" Nick asked. "Yep that's my nephew, we call him Spooky," Rye said. "Put him on," Nick said and Rye handed over the phone. "Hiya Spooky this is Nick," Nick said happily. He loved kids, they were so honest and didn't have any hidden agenda's. You could be honest with them and they were honest right back, often brutally honest. "HI NICK!" Spooky shouted. "Inside voice sweetie," Bryan said softly as he stroked the boys hair. "Hi Nick," Spooky said again. "Your uncle says you like me. Want me to come visit and sing with the boys?" Nick asked. "Yes. I sang with Unca Bwyan and Westboys last night. The people said my name," Spooky related. "You sang on stage?" Nick asked. "Yes. I sang Bop bop baby," Spooky said happily. "If I come tomorrow you could sing a song with me if you like? What song would you like to sing?" Nick asked. "Oh baby can't you see, can't you see," Daniel immediately began to sing. "Oh that's a good one. Okay Corey and I will leave this afternoon and ride with you for the next few days how about that? Is there a concert tonight do you know?" Nick asked. "No thewe was a fiwe and the concewt buwned down. We are going camping and gonna sing in the pawk tomowwow instead," Spooky related. "There was a fire?" Nick asked. "Yes. You want to come camping? We can have mossmellows," Spooky enticed. "Okay I will go get Corey and we will meet you. Is your real name Spooky?" Nick asked, no longer able to hide his curiousity. "No my weal name is Daniel, but I know things and so now my name is Spooky," Spooky said. "Okay well let me speak to your Uncle Rye again so he can tell me directions," Nick said. "Okay bye Nick seeya later," Spooky handed the phone back to Rye and jumped up and ran over to Shane and settled in his lap. "Do you know Nick?" he asked Shane. "I know of him but only Mark and Rye have met him. Is he coming to see us?" Shane asked. "Yes. He is coming camping and said I can sing with him," Spooky said with excitement. "Well these last two concerts should be quite the show. Westboys, Angel, Beauty and Nick Carter. All filmed for MTV," Kian said. "And me," Spooky looked crossly at Kian for not including him. "And of course Spooky. It wouldn't be a show without Spooky," Kian quickly corrected and everyone laughed as Spooky smiled happily. Everyone sat together, Bryan and Spooky playing on the playstation. They had managed to find a game that Spooky could play. The time went by as the busses detoured to the campground where they would all be staying for the next two days. - Briefly in another City - "Thanks for watching Out and About. I'm Corey James and again a very special thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince of Monaco for coming to tell us about his very special charity." "Okay and we are clear, end tape. Great show Corey," a production manager said. "That was a great show Corey, thanks for having me," The Prince shook Corey's hand. "No thank you. I don't know how to thank you enough," Corey gushed. "No problem. Any friend of Rye's is a friend of mine and with the connections I have in the industry and your friendships with Westlife and the Carter lad you can pick and choose your interviews," The Prince said. "The Carter lad?" Nick said with a raised eyebrow as he walked to the two men. "Nick! Do you know the Prince?" Corey asked as he gave Nick a brief hug and gave him a quick kiss on the neck that would not be noticed by anyone. Nick's eyes lit up however at the intimacy. "We have never met formally but I attended one of his benefits," Nick said as he shook hands with the Prince. "I have been following your solo career and am very impressed. You have come a long way on your own and I enjoy your music very much. I would be very pleased to have you perform as a solo artist at my next benefit," the Prince invited. "Wow really? I would be so honoured," Nick said actually feeling suddenly nervous. "Rye and the boys will be invited as well. Well since this was a spur of the moment thing on my part I am afraid I have to fly, literally," the Prince said. "Thanks again. I can't believe the support I am getting from so many people," Corey said. "It's Rye's doing. He has touched many of us and being a friend of his gains you some immediate friends who want to pay him back for his many kindnesses and since he will accept nothing personally we jump at chances like this. But don't think it is just because of him. He had some to do with it it's true, but I was very impressed with the interview you did with him and Mark. Your own integrity and easy manner impressed me and many others as well. You are going to go very far. Good day," the Prince smiled and walked away, his bodyguards in tow. "Wow that was impressive," Nick said then turned back to look at Corey, "Guess what you are doing for the next few days?" "Ummm, packing to move, preparing for my interview with Ellen Degeneres tomorrow, looking over notes for next week..." Corey trailed off seeing the look in Nick's eyes. "Nope. Actually your mom and dad will finish packing for you, I already called them. Cheryl is gonna take the Ellen interview. You young sir are going camping with me and Westlife and Rye and a little boy called Spooky," Nick giggled with delight. "What have you been smoking Nick? What do you mean Cheryl is doing the Ellen interview? And you called my parents?" Corey asked in confusion and a little anger. "Come and walk while we talk since we want to leave right away. Okay the arena for tonight's Westlife concert burned to the ground last night. They are staying today and tomorrow in a nearby campground while a huge park is set up for them to do the concert. All the money is going to the city. Then we are going with them to their last concert of the tour. You get to tape both concerts and MTV will broadcast them. I am gonna perform with them and on my own for a couple of songs. And Rye's little nephew who apparently is like totally psychic is a big fan and is gonna sing with me," Nick explained as they hopped into Nick's car. "Wow okay let me digest this for a minute," Corey said. Corey noticed that there were two packed bags in the back seat and realized Nick had packed for him. This was gonna be huge for him, a tape of the final concert and time with Westlife again. He couldn't believe the luck he was having. His mind went back to how Nick had packed for him and seemed to be looking after him. He suddenly felt very emotional. "You okay there Corey," Nick asked seeing Corey struggle to keep himself under control. Corey nodded but couldn't stop the tears. Nick reached over and enveloped his friend in a hug and let the man release his emotions. "It's all pretty fast and amazing huh? Just remember that you always have me here for you. When I am not actually here in person I am just a phone call away and I will always love you," Nick said. "I love you too Nick. I have so many things going on and I am so grateful to have you here with me," Corey said. Nick finally got the nerve to ask something he had wanted to ask a few days ago. "Corey, if you wanted me to, I mean if it was alright, cuz we are such good friends and I love you, but not to like make us boyfriends, just cuz we get along so well, if you think it would be a good idea..." Corey cut through Nick's rambling, "Would you like to move into my new home with me Nick? As my best friend. It's such a big house and I want someone I love who I can cuddle with and share all my thoughts with." "Really? Yes please. I want that so much," Nick said. Now he was the one whose emotions were getting the better of him. "Come on Nick, let's get going before we end up on the news. We are still parked in the MTV parking lot after all," Corey said and Nick giggled as he let go reluctantly. "How are we getting there? It's gonna take us forever to drive there," Corey asked. "Rye said he has a jet here so he called the pilot and it should be ready for us when we get to the airport," Nick said. "I wonder if we can cuddle with them again, or maybe with some of the others," Corey wondered out loud as they headed to the airport. "I certainly hope so. I'm not taking off like this just so I can sing at a Westlife concert," Nick said seriously then burst out laughing. "Goof," Corey smiled and punched Nick's arm. "You should hear the little guy, he is so excited. He must be about 5 or 6. He talks in the cutest way but sounds kind of grown up too. Rye said that he will say some things that we may find shocking. Apparently he is like super psychic so if he talks about stuff that is kind of freaky we are supposed to just accept it and hold love in our hearts and not be scared. That should be pretty easy. The other thing though is he is very aware of his body and not bashful at all. I guess his parents tell him the proper words and all so if he starts talking about his penis or our penis we are supposed to just react calmly and answer his questions. Hopefully Bryan will be nearby since he is suddenly like super-dad and is just doing everything right," Nick said. "Geez how long did you talk to them and I hope it was on your cell phone this time and not mine," Corey said. Nick laughed, "Sorry nipples but it was your phone and we talked for about half an hour." "Nipples?" Corey glared at Nick. "Cuz your nipples get so hard when we cuddle. I thought I could use it as a pet name," Nick said then saw Corey was a little pissed and he lost his smile and his heart dropped to the floor. "Pet names would be nice but not that. It makes fun of me and fun of our time together which is very special to me," Corey said. "I'm sorry Corey. You know I joke when I get nervous about stuff. I love our time together and I love you. I didn't mean it that way," Nick said. "I know Nick, I'm sorry I got mad. I know you joke when you are nervous," Corey answered and gently rubbed Nick's forearm. "So pet names are okay? I mean it's not too, you know, like boyfriend stuff?" Nick asked. "Maybe. Let's try not to define our relationship Nick. Let's just let it progress and see where it goes. Want to know what I want to call you?" Corey asked. "Yeah okay then I will tell you what I want to call you. For real I mean," Nick answered. "Dragon," Corey said softly and blushed deeply. "Cuz of my tattoo?" Nick asked. "Yeah sort of. I mean it's just so sexy on your arm and it reminds me of you. I feel sort of protected when you are around me," Corey said with a blush. "That would be nice. I would like you to call me that. It would make me feel so special," Nick said. "Now what do you want to call me?" Corey asked. "Don't laugh okay, let me explain. Fuzzy," Nick said. "Fuzzy?" Corey asked in confusion. "Let me explain. It's cuz of the night we first cuddled. Remember when I told you that you had nice feet, and you do by the way I really like your toes. Anyway at one point while I was touching your feet I turned and looked at you and your eyes were sort of half closed and you looked so beautiful and I just felt all warm and fuzzy inside and now I feel that way all the time when I am with you. Fuzzy," Nick finished and was blushing brightly. "That's so much better than the name I picked for you," Corey complained. "No it's not. I love my name. Please call me Dragon Corey, please," Nick asked. "Okay then Dragon and you can call me Fuzzy, but if anybody asks you have to tell them why so they won't think I am some hairy freak," Corey said. "Thanks Fuzzy," Nick said. The pair drove on for several minutes in silence. "Dragon?" Corey asked softly. "Yeah?" Nick responded. "I was wrong before. I do want to define our relationship," Corey said. Nick looked at Corey and smiled then took Corey's hand in his and brought it to his lips, "I'm glad. I do too. Which one of the guys do you think will figure us out first?" Corey's heart had left his body and was now soaring in the clouds, "You mean after the little kid. I bet it will be Bryan. He is way tuned into things like that." "Is it alright if I ask for us to stay with Mark and Rye tonight so we can talk and figure stuff out?" Nick asked. "Yeah that would be great," Corey smiled at his Dragon and was pretty much unaware of anything besides Nick for the rest of the trip. - Spooky's Mom - "Hey Eleanor how are things going?" Jill asked. -They are going great. Marg and Johann are a hoot and are helping us all with dealing with Daniel. As I predicted the men were all confused and belligerent but after about a half hour of listening to the two of them it all came together. Jill you would be amazed at how many instances we came up with once we started to think about it. I don't know how we never noticed before.- "Well some news on the Spooky front. Where to start. Okay let's start with the stuff you won't be concerned about. Everyone loves him of course and last night at the concert he went on stage with his new uncles and sang a song. The crowd loved him. He is going on again tomorrow and Friday with the boys and with Nick Carter," -Wow. Okay. He loves Nick Carter so he must be in heaven.- Jill continued while her sister was still a bit dazed, "Okay well we all found out just how well you raised him to be comfortable with himself and his body. After the concert he wanted Uncle Bryan to shower him and poor Bryan just about died when Spooky very calmly discussed penises, foreskin and erections. Bryan handled it like a champ, even when Spooky insisted they all sleep together naked. Jill closed her eyes and waited for the fireworks but was surprised instead. -Did he tell you yet that he is going to have a boyfriend?- "Yeah he did. So you know he's gay? You are okay with it all?" -I probably wouldn't have been before I met Marg and Johann. But he obviously knows things about others and himself. So if he is gay well I can't imagine better people to be with than the people there. I know Rye and I know he would only surround himself with good people and we did teach him well. He knows between good touches and bad touches and not to be ashamed of things and to ask questions.- "He is asking questions that are about relationships, particularly gay stuff. We have designated Bryan as the person he goes to when he has a question like that. Bryan is answering the questions without being graphic and giving him just enough information to satisfy him," Jill related. -That's good. I am gonna leave off telling the men about this for a bit though. Jill honey we trust you, I trust you. I wouldn't let my little boy be with you if I didn't trust you. The fact that you let those things happen is fine. You know those men and if you trust them I feel completely at ease. I wouldn't have you as his guardian if I didn't trust you completely Jill.- "Thanks Ellie. Want me to get the little guy. He's outside directing the boys setting up the tent and waiting for Nick to show up," -A tent?- "Oh yeah. Well the arena for tonight's concert burned to the ground, it's still smouldering actually. So thanks to Spooky who knew of a place big enough, we are staying over in a campground while the city prepares a park for us to perform in tomorrow night," Jill said. -That's my boy. I suppose Rye bought the city a new arena?- "Of course he did. Well we all did since it was done by the company. Want me to get him?" Jill asked again. -No let him play. Let the boy's know I have no qualms about them being gay and with my son. Especially Bryan. Tell them they all have to visit real soon. I know Spooky will miss them incredibly when he has to leave.- "You have no idea. Bryan will be heart broken when Spooky has to leave. I was wondering what kind of visiting arrangements we can make for later, after tour," Jill broached the subject. -Jill honey you know as well as I do what he can be like if he wants something and doesn't get it. He doesn't do it often but he will make our lives hell. If he wants it we will arrange something. Maybe every other weekend or even every weekend or a whole week once a month. You can tell them that as well. I won't take their Spooky from them and there is no way I can keep him from his Uncle's.- Jill was crying softly, "Thank you Ellie. You can't know how much this will mean to them. I will call you again Saturday morning to let you know plans. Give my love to the family, especially Eric and give Eric love from Kian as well. Bye sis," -Bye baby sis.- The call disconnected and Jill stood there for a long time just smiling happily. Finally she went outside and laughed as she watched the boys try to erect a tent for the first time in their lives. It was funny but was made even funnier by Spooky nearly crying he was laughing so hard. "Hey Spooky, mommy says hi," Jill said. Jill noticed Bryan, Kian and Nicky tense a bit at the mention of Daniel's mom. "Did you tell hew I am a singew now?" Spooky asked. "Yes I did, she said she thought it was very cool. Guess what else she said?" Jill wanted to say this so the boys would hear. "What?" Spooky asked. "Well first she said she loves you and she is very happy that you love all your uncles and they are looking after you. She was very proud of the way you were so grown up and let Uncle Bryan wash you and let him talk to you about all the stuff you had questions about. She said she is very glad you can talk to the boys about having a boyfriend and about boy stuff," Jill said. Spooky shrugged and turned back to watch the tent going up which had suddenly halted as everyone looked at Jill with open mouths. It was Bryan who moved first as he swept Spooky up in his arms and hugged him fiercely. The little boy giggled and kissed his uncle back not understanding the sudden show of affection but basking in it any way. "We can talk to mommy again on Saturday and figure out between us all how often you can come and visit us and how often we can visit you," Jill said. Bryan set Spooky down and came to stand in front of Jill, "Is it true? It's all okay? We can still see him?" Jill pulled Bryan into a hug and felt him start to sob, "She shocked the hell out of me but she knows about everything that went on so far and is perfectly okay with it. She said to tell you she trusts you completely with her son and that you have permission to handle any situation that comes up however you see fit. My sweet Bry boy you were born to be a dad and this is your dry run until that little boy out there somewhere loses his parents in a car accident." Jill held Bryan for a long time as he cried. Eventually Spooky came over and wrapped his arms around Bryan's leg and just leaned against him. "Hey all, mind if we crash here?" Nick Carter said as he pulled up to the site on a four-wheeler belonging to the campground. "Hey Nick. Hey Corey," Mark waved and tossed down the tent poles in disgust as he went to greet the two arrivals. "Having trouble?" Nick raised an eyebrow. "Fuck off. We have never had to put one together before and it doesn't help to have a 6 year old laughing at you the whole time," Mark laughed. "So where is he?" Corey asked. "Hey Spooky come see who is here," Kian called out as he too tossed down the tent and gave up. Spooky came close and his eyes opened wide at the sight of his idol, "Unca Dragon and Unca Fuzzy," he screamed out and ran to Nick who instinctively bent down to catch the boy. Both his eyes and Corey's were wide in amazement. "He guessed that you have names for each other huh?" Mark guessed. Nick and Corey nodded. "Did you know that you can kiss and touch tongues? Unca Bwyan says when you are boyfwends you can do that. Do you kiss Unca Corey and touch tongues?" Spooky asked with excitement, wanting to share his new knowledge with his idol. "Spooky boy, Nick and Corey are just friends they aren't boyfriends," Bryan said gently. "Umm, actually we decided we are boyfriends now," Corey said. "See I know," Spooky said. "I stand corrected. I should know better huh?" Bryan tickled the little boy in his arms. "Dragon and Fuzzy?" Kian asked over the squeals of delight coming from Spooky. "Our private names, although not so private now. Dragon cuz of my tattoo which he finds sexy and Fuzzy cuz the first time I saw him and every time I look at him since then I get all warm and fuzzy inside," Nick said and blushed deeply when Corey leaned his head against Nick's shoulder in an obvious display of love. "Hey Spooky how about you me and Nick put the tent up then we can go get some sticks for these," Corey said and held up a couple of gigantic bags of marshmallows. "Yay. Unca Bwyan and his boyfwends are gonna sleep in the tent with me. You awe gonna sleep with Unca Wye and Unca Mawk but tomowwow on the bus you can sleep with me okay?" Spooky said. This time Nick and Corey were truly shaken and Nick unconciously took a step backward. Bryan tensed as he realized Spooky had scared Nick and Corey. "Sorry Spooky," Nick said suddenly and stepped forward again and took the boy into his arms, "You just really surprised us was all. We aren't scared of you, I promise okay?" The little boy nodded, "I'm sowwy Unca Nick. I won't say stuff like that anymowe." "No it's okay. You can say anything you want okay Spooky. I was just surprised was all but you are the best ever. You are so sweet and I just love you to pieces. Okay? Don't be sad and don't be sorry. It was a silly mistake I made," Nick said and kissed the little boy a couple of times on the cheeks. Spooky placed both his hands on Nicks cheeks and held his face as he looked into Nick's eyes and Nick knew the boy was reading his soul, he felt it and he consciously opened himself to the boy. Spooky smiled then giggled and flung his arms around Nick's neck, "Okay." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Now let's put the tent together so you and the boys have some place to sleep tonight," Nick said as he set the boy down then without warning hugged Bryan to him. "What's this about Nick?" Bryan asked but returned the hug. "I just want to hug everybody now is all and you were the closest," Nick said then strode off to put up the tent looking rather embarrassed about his sudden display with Bryan. Bryan and the others however merely smiled and nodded, knowing and understanding Nick's feelings all too well. - Other Sleeping Arrangements - Rye walked the 30 yards or so to the next site where the rest of the group was. They already had a tent up. "Hey Rye," Matt called and accepted the kiss from Rye. Jesse and Billy's eyes got wide but they made no comment. "Hey guys," Rye said and kissed Ed then Jay. This time he noticed Jesse and Billy's reaction. He looked over at Carl and Alex and saw them nod to him. He sat down on one of the lawn chairs the campground had provided. "So just wanted to clear up the sleeping arrangements for the night. Spooky and the boys are sharing the tent we have. I figure that Nick and Corey will sleep with Mark and I. We had a lot of cuddle time with them and I am sure they will want to be with us," Rye said not yet aware of the arrival of Nick and Corey or of their announcement of now being together. "Do you think we could use the boys bed with Carl and Alex. We decided we want to become a little closer," Ed asked. "I am sure that would be fine," Rye answered. "Would you two mind if we shared your tent?" Andy asked of Billy. "Um sure," Billy said with surprise. "Carl told us you are just learning about love. If you think you would be comfortable with us we could cuddle and snuggle tonight. Just like you did with Carl and Alex. No sex, but you would be cuddling with me and Andy as well as with each other," Matt said. "It's up to you two. I will say this though. Carl and I have learned about love from these men and we trust them completely. Tonight we are going to be cuddling with Ed and Jay. Both Matt and Andy are good men and you will be safe with them. But you are allowed to say no. Now or later you can stop whatever is happening," Alex said. "Yeah okay. But what if we get boners?" Jesse asked. "It's to be expected. You are going to be very intimate but we don't do anything about them. It's important that you realize it's about sharing love and friendship and not sex. Matt and Andy will help you and Alex says you are already well on your way with each other. This will be different only in that you are being with two new friends who care about you," Rye said. The boys nodded and took each other's hands. "Okay well come over to our site then to meet Nick and Corey then we can hang out and sing campfire songs and just enjoy the rest of the day," Rye invited. Everyone left except for Matt and Andy who held back Jesse and Billy. Once the others were out of sight Matt turned to the two young men. "Tonight will be fine. Andy and me love each other and we don't even want to have sex with you. Alex explained stuff to us and we are going to show you how to share love with friends. I realize we aren't very close yet but tonight we will be. Andy is the youngest here and I forget that sometimes. It will be nice to have some friends that are more Andy's age. I hope my age doesn't upset you," Matt said. "No it doesn't. Both of you are really nice. I am just really really nervous," Billy said. "Don't worry guys. Things will be fine and you both have total control. All you have to say is the word stop and everything will stop," Andy said as he took Jesse's hand in his. Together the two couples, now holding hands with their new friends, headed to the other site to enjoy the impromptu party. - Briefly with Tre and DJ - "DJ sweetie you in here?" Tre called into the massive apartment. The two men had already moved everything to the new apartment they were soon to share with their brothers. "In the studio. I finished Matt and Andy's painting," DJ called out. Tre trotted happily to the studio and saw DJ standing in the center of the room, shirt gone and paint spattered on his chest. Tre went hard immediately. "God you are so so sexy," Tre purred as he wrapped his arms around his lover. "What do you think?" DJ nodded to the painting he had just finished. Tre looked up and opened his mouth in awe, "Oh DJ it's so beautiful. I didn't know you were going to do a nude." "That last morning before they left I got out of bed and pulled the covers back so I could memorize them as they slept together. It was so beautiful. You can see both their dicks but they aren't hard but see how Matt is holding Andy so lovingly," DJ pointed out. "Yeah but it looks like Andy is the one looking after Matt," Tre said. "You can see that too huh? I didn't intend to paint it that way but it just came out that way. I think that it's actually like that with them though, that Andy sort of looks after Matt," DJ said. "I can hardly wait for them to see it. I can hardly wait for them to be back here. I want to be with them again," Tre said. DJ turned in his lover's arms and kissed Tre deeply. "I miss them too. It was so wonderful being with them. When they get back let's talk to them about being more intimate with them. You know, like, being with them," DJ stumbled. "Yeah. Can we talk about how much and how far we are willing to go?" Tre asked. "Sure should I go first?" DJ asked. "Okay," Tre said. "Okay but no getting mad okay. I will say then you will say and we can decide together," DJ said and Tre nodded. "Okay well I love you of course and you are my life. But being with them was nice. When they talked about how they were with the boys and made love to each other while in the bed with the boys, well that was hot and I would like to do that. Eventually though I would like for us four to be like, together, as more. You will still be my true love forever but eventually I want to share ourselves completely with them. I want Andy to make love to me while I hold you in my arms with Matt making love to you. I want to be able to taste them, all of them. That's what I want," DJ finished. Tre smiled widely and pulled his lover close, "Me too, all of it, just like you said. I am so happy my DJ. Let's call them and say goodnight then you can make love to me tonight okay?" They quickly went to the living room and called their brothers. "Hey Matt it's Tre and DJ, how are you guys? We miss you," Tre said. -We miss you too. Give us a minute and we can go inside the bus and hook up the speakerphone so we can both hear you.- There was a minute or two of shuffling and electronic clicking till finally... -Can you hear us?- Matt asked. "We can hear you. We have a speaker phone too. DJ finished your painting today. It's so amazing and it got us both thinking of you and missing you," Tre said. -That's so cool. I can hardly wait. Listen me and Matt have been talking about stuff and we wanted you to think about it as well. How much do you guys want to share with us?- Andy asked. "Wow we just finished talking about that. Remember when you told us about how you made love to each other with the boys there in the same bed making love to each other? We want to do that too. And eventually we thought that maybe the four of us would share more. Like Andy making love to me while I hold Tre with Matt making love to him. But we know we have to talk about it, that's just what we were thinking was all," DJ said. -Really? Us too! We will still do the same stuff with the boys and you will too at some point but I think us four are going to become like...I don't know the words...like permanent,- Andy finished. "We're not sex freaks or anything are we? I mean I don't feel bad but should I?" Tre asked suddenly. -Nope. Andy and me already went through this with the boys and when we get home we can all talk about it, maybe even have the boys over to help you. Just remember it's all about love and we love you both. For now just put it out of your mind until we are there to hold you and cuddle you okay? Matt said. "Yeah okay. So what else is going on?" DJ asked. The four men spent the next half hour talking about everything that had happened in the two days since they had been together. Matt and Andy talked about Jesse and Billy and how Tre and DJ felt about it. Tre and DJ assured their brothers it was perfectly fine and commented on how loving and giving Matt and Andy were. They finally said goodnight, sharing words of love. Tre and DJ then showered together in the massive shower and went to bed early and made tender love to each other before falling into blissful sleep. ...to be continued.
