Alex and Aidan
CHAPTER TWO
BIG BROTHER, LITTLE BROTHER

Alex thought about Aidan the whole time he was at work the next day but by the end of the day he was convinced he would never hear from the boy again. He couldn't reason why a cute young boy like Aidan would want him as a friend even though when he was that age he would have welcomed the friendship of someone older who understood his sexual persuasion. His self-esteem was so low lately that he had begun to believe that no one would ever love him, couldn't love him, and that he was destined to spend the rest of his life being someone like Charlie's bitch. Why was it that he was always attracted to guys who only wound up hurting him?

As he drove home he wondered if Charlie was expecting to be serviced tonight and that put a cloud over the already dark mood he was in. There was no way he was ready to face the man again after yesterday and he began to make up excuses in his head as to why he couldn't meet him if he did call.

As usual his mother was gone when he got home and after fixing himself a bowl of cereal, one of the few foods in the place, he went upstairs to shower and change. He was just coming out of the bathroom when the phone rang. He had a sinking feeling at the pit of his stomach, but assuming it was Charlie he knew it would be worse if he didn't answer, . 

He picked up on the first ring and quietly said hello.

"Hi, it's me...Aidan. Remember me?" the kid sounded shy and not at all like he had the evening before when he had taken charge.

"Yeah, hi. What's up?" Alex replied trying to sound cool, but truth was that sinking feeling in his gut had been replaced by butterflies of joy.

"Can...can I come over? I...needa talk to ya. Is that cool?"

Alex thought about it for about two nanoseconds. Of course the boy could come over, wasn't that what he had been dreaming of all day?

"Sure, uh...I'll come and get ya...be there in a few, okay?"

"Yeah, thanks. See ya then," the boy said sounding happy, "Oh, and don't worry...my granny aint home. She's at the doctor's."

Alex was really looking forward to seeing Aidan again and it showed in his smile and the way he sang along to the music coming from the CD player. That CD player which had been the only concession to change in the Mustang. He had bought it at work using his discount and it had proved to be a good investment. 

It wasn't far to the apartment complex and when he pulled up in front of his apartment the boy was waiting for him on the curb. He looked cleaner than the day before (and smelled better) but his clothes sill had that used up look to them and he was still wearing those worn out sneakers. The first thought in Alex's mind was, We have some sneakers on sale at K-mart and I bet Aidan would love a pair. Man, what is wrong with me? I'm not his keeper, just a friend.

"Hi," Aidan said sliding in beside Alex, "Were you surprised to hear from me so soon?" he added grinning widely.

"Naw, not really," Alex said trying to hide his enthusiasm, "You didn't ask for my number for no reason I guess.

"Ummm, would you have called me if I didn't call?" the boy asked as if he were testing the older teen.

Alex looked over and smiled at the boy, "I guess we'll never know will we?"

Aidan looked away then and Alex wondered if he had hurt his feelings. Is he as nervous and unsure as I am?  he wondered.

"So what did you want to talk about?" 

"Can we wait...till we're at your place?" Aidan said turning back around and looking at Alex thoughtfully.

"Sure, no hurry. Are you hungry?" he asked before thinking. He didn't have a lot of money, but he guessed he could spring for one more meal if needed.

"Naw, I ate after school. Besides I don't wanna be a mooch." he said frowning.

"Okay, but you're not a mooch. I offered....a mooch begs," Alex said daring to reach over and tousle the boy's hair. He didn't pull away but when Alex was finished he pawed at his hair as if to straighten the disheavled mess.

They were at his apartment before he knew it and as he led the boy upstairs he wondered why he was so much more comfortable with the situation today then he had been yesterday. The kid was def growing on him and fast.

He led him back to his bedroom as he had the day before and the boy plopped down on his bed and stared at Alex shyly, "Can I use your bathroom first?"

"Sure, you don't have  to ask...ever, it's across that hall. Sorry for the mess in there. My mom's a bit of a slob." Alex felt the need to warn the boy even though he supposed he had seen worse.

He was gone only a few minutes and when he returned his shirt was pulled out of his pants and hung almost to his knees as if several sizes too large. He looked flushed and acted nervous and Alex wondered what was up with the boy. He plopped back down on the bed and leaned back on his arms and threw his head back and Alex's eyes were suddenly drawn to his lower body. 

His shirt was unbuttoned about half way and was gapping open exposing his lap and from what Alex could see the boy either had an erection or was abnormally well hung. He had only a moment to take all of this in and when the boy lowered his head he looked away so suddenly he was sure the boy must've noticed.

"So...what did you want to tell me?" Alex asked through dry lips. He felt as if he had been eating cotton and he coughed loudly.

"You got any pop?" the boy asked. It was obvious he was in no hurry to talk.

"Sure, I'll be right back," Alex said jumping up to go to the kitchen. There were a couple of Coke 20oz. nrs in the back of the fridge and he grabbed them, then as an afterthought he grabbed a bag of cookies from the cabinet and took them with him. The boy looked hungry despite his protests, and what boy could refuse cookies?

"Cool," Aidan said taking the Coke and a few cookies, "we never have this kind of cookies at home. My granny doesn't like sweet stuff that much. She's a diabetic."

"Is that why she's at the doctor's?" Alex asked wondering what kind of woman could mistreat a cool kid like Aidan.

"Probly, she has all kinds of stuff wrong with her," he said munching on a cookie. Crumbs were gathering on his chest and falling down to his lap drawing Alex's eyes there once more. The lump was still there and if anything was larger now.

"Caught ya lookin," Aidan laughed following Alex's gaze.

"You're gettin crumbs all over my bed," Alex said trying to explain it away.

"Right. Hey, if you wanna look, just ask. I aint shy," he said grinning.

"I'll have to pass," Alex said hopping up and sitting at the desk where he wouldn't be tempted to stare at Aidan's crotch.

Aidan shrugged, "Your loss. Hey, can I surf some more on your puter?" Alex realized he had never checked the browser history to see what sites the boy had visited.

"Okay, but first you gotta tell me what it was you wanted to talk about," Alex said firmly.

Aidan sighed and looked sideways at Alex and his hair fell across his cute face and covered one eye. He brushed it back but it refused to stay for long and he finally gave up, "Promise you won't get mad," he said sheepishly.

"Promise, you gotta trust me dude, I'm not like a grownup, I won't freak no matter what."

"Can...can you come back over here?" he said patting the bed beside him.

Alex shrugged, "I guess, but none of that shit about me perving on you, okay?"

"Okay, but it aint perving if I like it," he said then blushed.

Alex raised an eyebrow, "So, you're perving on me?"

"Naw....if I was perving on ya, you'd know it," he said grinning.

"So what was so important that you wanted to come all the way over here to talk to me about it?"

Aidan put down his soda and swallowed the last of his cookie before speaking, "It's no big deal. I...I just wanted to see you again, that's all," he said sounding shy again.

"You shittin me?" Alex said laughing, "There is no big secret or problem we need to discuss?"

Aidan shrugged, "Are you mad at me?" 

Why does he keep asking me that? Alex wondered.

"No, not mad, just.....oh hell, I wanted to see you too," he confessed.

The boy's face lit up like a Christmas tree, "Really? That's so cool." Then his disposition seemed to change and he took on an air of confidence again, "I knew it. You do like me, don't ya?"

Alex shrugged, "For a kid you're pretty cool," he teased.

"A kid? I got ur kid right here," he said grabbing his crotch and pulling Alex's eyes to the prominent bulge once more.

"So it is small then...like a kid," Alex teased.

"Grrrrrr.....I aint small." he jumped up then and before Alex could stop him he had unbuttoned his worn jeans and pushed them down to reveal his worn tighty whities. There was a slight yellow pee stain at the fly and a small hole through which Alex noticed a wiry hair poking through. 

"Stop!" Alex yelled too loudly causing the boy to jump, "Don't....I mean it man. If you do that I'll take ya home right now."

The boy's smile wilted and he pulled into himself and Alex felt like a complete ass as he watched him zip up and re-button his pants and sit down with his head lowered.

"Sorry," he muttered softly, "I....I was just joking. Don't get mad....okay?"

"I'm not mad," Alex said trying to fix what he had just broken, "It's just that you're a kid and I'm an adult and there are rules...you know, boundaries...that's all."

Aidan looked confused, "But.....you said you were gay. Don't you like....uh, me that way too?"

"Like I said, you're a kid and I'm an adult. I have never done anything with a kid before, at least not since I was a kid myself. That's sick," Alex said but he wasn't sure who he was trying to convince, the boy or himself.

"I should go," Aidan said suddenly. The look on his face was one of hurt and embarrassment and it broke Alex's heart to think he had caused it.

"Do you hafta, I was gonna kick your ass at Need for Speed again," he said trying to lighten things up a little.

Apparently Aidan wasn't too upset or he got over it quickly because he grinned and said, "In your dreams. Come on I'll show ya how it's done."

They played a couple of games of NFS and finished off their sodas and the cookies and Aidan seemed to have gotten over the earlier unpleasantness and was laughing and joking around and that made Alex happy. What was it about this kid that made him feel so happy?

"I wish I lived here with ya," Aidan said smiling shyly.

"Ha, no you don't. You'd hate living with my mom. She's a real terror," Alex teased.

Aidan shrugged, "Well, then I wish the two of us lived somewhere all by ourselves."

Alex smiled. How naive could you get? "Right, and you could get a job and support us," Alex joked.

"I would," Aidan said looking thoughtful, "When I'm older, like 17 or 18 we could do it, right?"

"Ha, I'd be 25 by then. Would you still want to live with an old guy?"

"Sure I would. I'd like you even if you were like 40 or really old."

"Well, it aint gonna happen, so I guess we just gotta take what we can get. For now we're just friends, okay?"

Aidan sighed and leaned back against the bed. They were sitting in the floor in front of the small TV and so close Alex could feel the heat coming off the boy.

"I like it here. I wish....nothing," he said realizing he was about to repeat what he had said before, "Do you really like me?" he said then sounding as if he needed reassurance.

"Said so didn't I? Do you think I would've driven all the way over there and picked you up if I didn't like ya?"

Aidan smiled shyly, "I like you too....a lot. I wish you were my big brother or something."

Alex thought about that for a moment. He had always wanted a little brother. Maybe God was bringing them together to fulfill each other's needs.

"Well, I can't be a real brother, but I could be your big brother, like that thing they advertise on TV. Only I won't be working for them and don't hafta follow their silly rules."

"Really?" Aidan asked smiling and leaning against Alex. The contact sent little electric shocks up and down his body and his breathing became labored. What is happening to me? he wondered.

He nodded, "But of course, only you and I will know about it, okay?"

"Oh sure, yeah...yeah, that's cool. We're the only ones need to know anyway," Aidan stuttered. Then like a cat he swarmed onto Alex's lap and brought his cute face within inches of Alex's. Alex held his breath and waited for what was to come next.

Smiling shyly the boy leaned in and kissed Alex gently on the lips. Unlike the first kiss, which was chaste, this one was sexier and involved his little pink tongue pushing at Alex's lips. Should I open or refuse? Isn't this as wrong as seeing his dick, or thinking about him sexually? Oh what the hell, he finally decided and he opened up and let the boy in.

The kiss curled his toes and the effect on his cock was immediate. His seven inches of hard boy flesh pressed painfully against Aidan's bottom as he ground it into Alex's crotch and he was sure he would come soon if the boy didn't back off.

"Whoa," Alex said finally breaking off the kiss, "we're brothers not kissing cousins," he said trying not to hurt the boy's feelings again.

Aidan blushed but his sunny smile said he was happy with what he had gotten away with. He scrambled out of Alex's lap and stood up and went out the door. After a few minutes Alex heard the toilet flush and Aidan bounced back in all smiles.

"You can take me home now, okay?" he said looking pleased with himself.

Alex was a little disappointed but he didn't protest this time and as they drove back he wondered again what he had gotten himself into. Was this boy playing him? If so, what was his motive? Try as he could he couldn't make sense of it. All he knew was that he was hopelessly in love with a kid at least 6 years younger than him and there could be no future in that. Still it was kind of cool to hang out with him, and as long as they kept it platonic it could work out. He was smiling by the time he dropped Aidan off and Aidan smiled back. 

Opening the door and climbing out he suddenly stuck his head back in and said, "Same time tomorrow, okay?"

"I don't know if I can, but I'll try," Alex said realizing he had forgotten about Charlie and his obligation to service him as often as he wanted.

"Call me if you can't. Otherwise I'll be out front waiting. Bye, thanks....see ya," he said not allowing any further arguments from Alex. 

Alex watched him bounce up the stairs and waited till he disappeared inside then drove slowly off smiling to himself. 

"I must be friggin crazy," he said out loud as he shook his head and smiled, "I should have my head examined." But he was as happy as he could ever remember being and that was worth something, wasn't it?

Almost as soon as he walked in the door, the phone rang. Supposing it was Aidan he picked it up cheerfully and said, "Miss me already?"

There was a pregnant pause at the other end then Charlie's' gruff voice, "What's dat supposed to mean? You fuckin with someone else boy?"

"Uh, no....I knew it was you. I just had this feeling. I just meant....well, did you miss me? I mean I was hoping you'd call."

Stupid as Charlie was, he accepted Alex's explanation and plowed forward, "I need some head. Meet me at the park....the bathroom. I wants it outside today," he said sounding excited.

Oh gawd, Alex thought frowning, I hate doing it in that smelly bathroom and one of these days we're gonna get busted and then what? 

Charlie was already there when Alex arrived and he did not look happy. As Alex approached he knew he was in for a bad time just from the look on the man's face. At least doing it here, it won't take long and then I can go home and take a shower and wash the smell of Charlie off of me, he thought trying to be up beat despite his concerns, That is if he doesn't want to fuck.

"Where you been?" Charlie growled, "I been waitin ten minutes for that sweet mouth of yours. Get in here."

Alex didn't bother to explain, it would only make Charlie madder. No the only way to Charlie's heart was through his dick. Following the beefy black man inside Alex was accosted by the lingering smell of shit, piss, and cum and wrinkled his nose up and suddenly felt nauseous. Gawd, I hope I don't ralph on his cock as he's ramming it down my throat, he thought then giggled at the thought of it, Knowing him, he'd probably like it.

Charlie backed him into the stall and latched the door behind them and immediately dropped his pants. He seldom wore underwear and his massive cock popped out as he lowered the zipper and the smell of spegma and piss overpowered Alex and the fear of vomiting became real once more.

"Yeah, bitch. Get down there and eat that thing," he commanded as Alex sank to his knees and began licking the smelly 8 inches of ebony flesh before him.

"Lick those balls boy. Yeah, clean that funk off....mmmmm...yeah, you like it boy. You like pleasin your daddy?" Charlie seemed especially verbal tonight and it was not lost on Alex. Usually the only sounds coming from Charlie's mouth were grunts and groans and an occasional swear word.

Alex had been going at it for about fifteen minutes when Charlie grabbed him by the hair and pulled him roughly to his feet, "Bend over boy, I want some of that sweet ass of yours," he said lustily.

It was useless to protest so Alex gritted his teeth and bent over the toilet with his hands on the wall and tried to think about more pleasant things. Alex felt Charlie's fat fingers prodding his ass and a slickness there and then without further ado Charlie mounted him and roughly pushed inside. Alex took a deep breath and stifled a scream of pain then relaxed as Charlie buried the rest of his fat cock in his ass. He could feel Charlie's bull sized balls slapping against his ass with each thrust as he slowly went to that place in his head where nothing or no one could hurt him. 

He was barely aware of Charlie slapping his behind and as he came back to reality he could feel the man's hot sticky cum running down his legs. Charlie was breathing heavily and wiping a long rope of cum off of his dick he wiped it on Alex's back and laughed.

"Bitch, that was a good fuck. I needed that. Did you like it baby? Did you like your daddy's dick up your lily white ass?"

"Yes, daddy," Alex said mechanically, "Your cock is the best daddy. Thank you for fucking me daddy."

Charlie chuckled, "You one really bad actor baby, but don't matter as long as daddy gets his nut. You can jerk it if you want, I got to go....." he said pulling up his pants and unlatching the door.

Alex stood there for a moment not believing his luck. Usually Charlie took his good slow time and often came twice, but tonight he seemed to be in a hurry to get away. He smiled and grabbed some toilet paper and attempted to wipe some of the thick smelly cum off him, then pulled up his pants and underwear and left the stall. 

There was a young dude at the urinal and he looked back over his shoulder and grinned at Alex, "Man, that was hot. Wish I had a daddy like that."

"No, you don't man. Trust me, you don't want that," Alex said then left before the dude could reply.

He drove home with the pain and humiliation of his rape fresh on his mind and when he got home he spent a half hour in the shower trying to wash his soul clean, but to no avail. Finally when the hot water was all gone he reluctantly got out and dried off. He didn't bother to dress, he often slept nude and he had no interest in food or entertainment so he piled into bed and soon the tears began to flow freely. Thoughts of suicide edged into his brain once more, but this time they were pushed out by the thought of how it would affect Aidan. He could see the boy's cute face when he closed his eyes but that image was soon pushed out by the image of his underwear and the hidden treasure beneath. 

Gawd, I am perving on him, he cried to himself, I don't want to be that kind of person. God, help me do the right thing. 

He soon fell asleep and didn't wake till almost eight the next morning. His pillow was still wet with his tears and his eyes felt like they were on fire. He got up and peed and brushed his teeth and washed his face and felt some better. His mother was sleeping one off in her room and he was once again on his own. He didn't mind though, in fact he sometimes wished he lived alone. Might as well, he thought, I never see her anyway and when I do it's like she doesn't care if I'm there or not.

He didn't feel  much like  cereal so he got dressed and drove to work early and ate breakfast in the cafe. The food wasn't too bad and the price was reasonable and by the time his shift started he felt reasonably human again. He actually loved his job despite the low pay and lack of hours and the morning passed rather quickly. On his lunch break he found himself wandering the floor and instinctively he began to look at boy's things. First it was underwear thinking how cute they would look on Aidan and then shoes and he suddenly made a decision. If the boy would let him, he would buy him a new pair of shoes and maybe some other stuff. He didn't have a lot of extra money, but with his discount he could afford a few things. If the boy would let him buy them for him, that was.

He was smiling as he clocked back in and he wondered what Aidan was doing. It was one o'clock. He should be in class about now and hopefully learning something. He smiled at the thought of the beautiful boy and found himself actually looking forward to seeing him after work. Same time, same place, he thought to himself. Man he has me wrapped around his little finger already, but it was a good thing he decided, and he had never felt so needed or so happy.

As Alex neared Aidan's apartment complex that evening he felt those happy butterflies in his middle once again. He strained to see if the boy was out front yet, but saw no one and his spirits sank. Pulling up in a parking place directly in front of the building, he turned off the ignition and waited. He had been there fifteen minutes and was about to give up, when the boy appeared from the left. He was running and looking behind him and the look on his face was one of sheer panic.

Alarmed, Alex opened the door and stepped out sure he would see the devil himself chasing behind the boy, but as far as he could see there was no one.

"Aidan," he called with concern.

"Coming," the boy called out as he glanced once more over his shoulder and apparently convinced no one was in pursuit, he slowed to a walk and came over to where Alex stood waiting.

"Who were you runnin from?" he asked the boy who was winded and bent over trying to catch his breath.

"No....one," he gasped, "just...getting...some....exercise," he lied.

"Whatever dude," Alex snorted, "Still wanna come over?"

"You kiddin? Course I do. Can I?" he asked straightening up and taking one last deep breath.

"I didn't drive all the way over here to tell ya no," Alex laughed.

Aidan laughed too and smiled, "Yeah, I know. You want me to come over, don't ya?"

Alex shrugged, "I don't mind if you don't."

"Ha, come on, let's go, I only got a couple of hours to kill this time."

"Gotta heavy date?" Alex teased as they started off.

"Yeah, about 250, my grandma. She's gonna be home around 8. I need to be home by then or she spazzes out."

"Wouldn't want that, she might have a coronary and croak," Alex teased.

"I wish," Aidan snorted, "Then I could come live with you."

"Right, Children's Services or whatever would just let you move in with me....ha ha."

Aidan shrugged, "I got no on else," he said sadly.

"Hey, I'd let ya if I could. But you know how it works, the man don't let kids decide where they wanna live."

"I know, I know. Let's not talk about that, okay?"

"Sure, whatta you wanna talk about?"

"Ummm....sex," Aidan said then giggled.

"Okay," Alex said humoring him, "What do you want to know?"

"I don't have no questions, I just wanna talk about it," he said surprised that Alex had given in so easily.

"So talk already, I'm listening."

Aidan cocked his head and stared at Alex. He couldn't believe this was happening so soon. He figured it would take a while to get Alex to open up like this.

"Well, about what you did with your buddies. Did you...ummm, suck their dicks too?"

"Ha, I was the one started it. In fact I did most of the sucking. I was pretty popular in junior high and high school. All those sex starved boys who didn't mind a hot wet mouth as long as they didn't have to do anything back."

"But how did you let them know you were...uh, willing to do that stuff?"

"Well, once I found a couple of boys who liked it, the word got out and they were coming to me for service. I was a bit of a slut then...hell, I still am."

"Does that mean you do a lot of guys?"

"Well, yeah, or that you're always ready to go. Actually I only  have one steady right now." he couldn't believe he was opening up like this. 

"Really, is he ur age?"

"No," Alex laughed, "He's like 46 and a black guy. He likes to get sucked and to fuck and that's about all. It's a one way thing."

"So why do you do it then? Don't you, uhhh...ever want to get off yourself?"

Alex laughed, "Yeah, I like to get off, but I usually wind up just jerking off."

Aidan giggled, "You jerk off too?"

"Course, all guys do it I guess," then poking the boy in the ribs he grinned and said, "I bet you do it a lot, don't ya?"

Aidan blushed but he nodded, "All the time, sometimes I do it three times a day."

"Whoa, way to go. You're a little sex machine aren't you?" Alex said gigging him again.

Aidan giggled, "Only cause I don't have anyone to do it with."

"Don't you have any buds you can mess around with?"

Aidan shrugged, "I.....I don't have any friends. See, I only been going to that school for a little while and the kids are pretty stuck up."

"Ah, I see. Well, once you find one, there will be others."

"I.....don't think so. See, there is this one kid and he, well....he told everyone I was a fag and they all hate me now."

"Was that why you were running today? Be honest."

They were at Alex's apartment now and they put their conversation on hold until they were in his room. Aidan sat down with his head lowered and spoke softly, "He was gonna beat me up, but I outran him."

"Is he your age?"

He shook his head, "Naw, he's an 8th grader. His name is Carl and he's fat and nasty looking. No one really likes him but they're all afraid of him cause he's crazy and if he doesn't like someone then no one will hang with them."

"Why is this kid picking on you?" Alex asked feeling angry at this bully.

Aidan shrugged, "I told ya, he knows I'm gay and he hates gays. Everyone hates gays," he said sadly.

"Bullshit, kids today don't trip on that stuff like they used to. Hell, even when I was your age it wasn't such a big deal as long as you didn't go around bragging. The boys I messed with were pretty cool and we kept it on the down low. I can't remember ever having anyone give me a hard time about it, but of course I was a pretty strong kid and didn't take shit from anyone, so maybe they were afraid of me."

"Can we just forget it...please Alex. I don't wanna talk about it any more," Aidan said looking nervous.

"Okay, but I want you to promise me that if this kid keeps this shit up you will let me know and if it gets too bad I will take care of it personally." Alex said lifting Aidan's chin up and looking him right in the eyes.

Aidan managed a little smile. He had never had anyone watch out for him before. Heck he'd never had anyone care for him even as much as Alex did and they'd just met. He was quickly falling in love with Alex and it was almost too much for his mind to process.

"I promise....big bro," he said grinning.

"Okay, then. What do you want to do today?"

"Well, we can't do what I really want to, but can we surf on your puter?"

Alex didn't ask what the boy really wanted to do, he had a feeling he could guess what he would say and he didn't want to go there. 

"Sure, but first I'm gonna grab us a soda and a snack okay?"

"Cool, I am kinda hungry. Running uses a lot of energy," he giggled.

Alex tousled the boy's  hair and went off to get the snacks. There was a six pack of Pepsi in the bottom of the fridge and some chips in the cupboard and a couple of apples in a bowl on the table. He grabbed them and headed back upstairs slowly. He wanted to give the boy time to hide anything he didn't want him to see. 

He chuckled as the boy jumped with surprise and hurriedly closed a window on the computer. He turned toward Alex grinning widely and when he saw the snacks he seemed to loose interest in the computer for the moment. They sat side by side on the bed and ate their snack and Alex teased the boy about surfing for porn.

"No need to hide it now," Alex said, "I checked your browser history and I know which sites you visited."

"You can do that?" Aidan asked looking skeptical.

"Here, let me show you," Alex said leading him over to the desk. They sat down and Alex showed Aidan how to check browser history and more importantly how to clear it. 

The boy caught on quickly and afterwards he leaned into Alex and said, "So now you know. Does that mean I don't hafta worry about hiding it any more?"

Alex laughed, "I guess not. Anyway the sites you went to are pretty safe, but you have to be careful. Some sites have viruses and can mess up a computer. Fortunately I have a good security program and it blocks most of that crap, but I think it would be best if I approve all the sites you go to."

"Does that mean we can look at porn together?" Aidan giggled.

"Sort of, but we gotta have rules. No illegal stuff and none of that sick stuff, like scat and golden showers."

"What's that?" Aidan asked wrinkling his cute nose.

For the next few minutes Alex explained all about the different kinds of kink, including the ones he'd mentioned, s&m, bondage, foot fetish (which he did approve of) and several others he did not approve of. After he was finished the boy had questions and Alex answered them to the best of his ability and when Aidan was satisfied they visited a few sites together.

Alex didn't know at what point he had decided to cross the line between big brother and potential boy friend but he had already made peace with the decision. It was useless to worry about the consequences when he wasn't even sure anything would ever happen, but he was sure he could handle it if things turned sexual. After all he had been a bit of a slut at 12 himself and it hadn't harmed him, and he had no intension of doing anything that would harm Aidan either.

At exactly 6 o'clock Aidan asked Alex to take him home and despite being a bit disappointed that the boy had to go so soon, he tried to be jovial as he drove him home. They parted in the parking lot but before running inside Aidan ran around the car and Alex rolled down his window. Without any reluctance on his part and with no regard for who might observe them, Aidan leaned in and quickly kissed Alex and ran away leaving Alex to stare after him in shock. Once he recovered he shook his head and smiled. Licking his lips he could taste Aidan's sweetness and he felt a stirring not only in  his loins, but in his heart as well. 

As he drove away all he could think about was Aidan and that kiss. Even though it hadn't been as thorough as the one they had shared at his apartment there was something about the spontaneity and brashness of this kiss that seemed somehow more exciting. He kept licking his lips and convincing himself he could still taste Aidan as he drove around just enjoying his freedom and the thought of what the future might bring. Little did he know the future was happening even as he drove back home.

He arrived back at his apartment complex about an hour after dropping Aidan off and there was an ambulance blocking the drive and he wondered what had happened. Had someone been shot? He hoped not, so far their apartment complex had been fairy safe and as far as he knew their had been no crime or violence there since they had moved in about a year ago.  He parked his car in the next lot and walked to his complex. As he rounded the corner he realized all the excitement seemed to be centered on his building. 

Trying hard to think who besides himself and his mother lived in the building he was totally  unprepared for the realization that it was his apartment that was the center of all the attention. Breaking into a trot he bounded up the stairs barely eluding an attempt by a young police officer to stop him and screeched to a stop in the doorway.

Two paramedics, one white and fat and one black and slender were bent over his mother working frantically on her. There was a IV in one arm and they were intubating her with a bag but moments later one of them looked up at the beefy cop observing all the action and said, "She's gone. She was dead before we got here...she just didn't know it yet."

Suddenly everyone seemed to notice Alex and the cop headed his way, "You can't be in here son."

"Mom!" Alex cried out as he ran past the cop and fell to his knees before his mother. Her face was blue and her eyes closed and there was no signs of life but still Alex wouldn't accept her death, "Wake up mom. You can't die. I need you mom," he cried desperately as he grabbed her hand and brought it to his face. He kissed it gently, positioned it lovingly on here chest and laid down beside her.

The cop and paramedics looked on with pity and embarrassment and gave him a moment to compose himself before gently covering his mother as the cop knelt beside Alex and gently squeezed his shoulder.

"I'm sorry bud. We came as fast as we could, but it was too late. A neighbor called us and said she, uh your mother, was convulsing and needed help. We came as fast as we could....I'm sorry....Is there someone we can call?"

Alex shook his head numbly. The tears had begun to run down his cheek but the flood gate hadn't been opened yet, there would be time for that later, for now he needed a clear head to make sense of it all and handle whatever arrangements were needed.

"I'm fine. My mother was an alcoholic and a drug user. I have been worried about her for a very long time. I just didn't think.....you know, that it would happen like this." his words sounded emotionless as he tried to hang onto some sense of sanity and the cop and paramedics all came to the same conclusion, that he was in shock.

Finally the slender black paramedic went to Alex and helped him to the couch. He knelt before him and spoke gently to him and did a preliminary exam. Deciding Alex was indeed in shock he suggested he come with them to the hospital. Alex nodded agreement. He had intended to go anyway, he wanted to be with his mom as long as possible even if it was in the back of an ambulance.

The trip to the hospital was thankfully short and by the time they arrived Alex had recovered somewhat. He was still sad and in a daze, but he could function well enough to sign the necessary papers and make some arrangements. He knew that some time back his mom had taken out a small insurance policy and had diligently made the payments each month and he figured it would at least pay her final expenses. 

As he drove away after saying goodbye to his mother for the last time, he realized he was totally alone now. He thought he should call someone, but he didn't know who. His grandparents were dead and there was no other relative he felt close enough to that he needed to notify this soon. There would be time once the funeral arrangements were made, but for now he would suffer his loss alone. 

He called his mother's place of work and informed the manager on duty of what had occurred and the man told Alex he was very sorry and she would be missed, but he barely heard what the man said and couldn't wait to hang up the phone. 

He sat down on his bed and stared at the wall for a few minutes and suddenly he realized there was someone he could call, someone who would care and his hands were trembling as he dialed the number.

Aidan answered on the third ring and his sweet voice brought tears to Alex's eyes. For a moment he considered just hanging up and not burdening the young boy with his loss, and probably would have if not for what happened next.

"Alex, what's wrong?" Aidan said suddenly as if he could sense who was on the other end of the phone. 

"Hi," Alex said choking back the tears, "How are you buddy?"

"Fine, what's wrong Alex? Why are you crying? Did...did that man hurt you again?" he asked sounding near tears himself.

Alex shook his head to clear it and though his voice broke once or twice he managed to get the whole story out. There was a few seconds of silence which seemed like hours to Alex then Aidan said calmly, "Can you come and get me? My granny is asleep and she's out like a light. I don't want you to be alone right now."

What could he say? The boy seemed more mature and responsible then he was at the moment and he found himself needing to be in his company. He hung up and drove the short distance to Aidan's apartment and as soon as he pulled up the boy came bounding down the stairs. He wore a light windbreaker and sweats and those worn tennies with no socks and as he slid in he leaned over and gave Alex a hug and Alex lost it. As he dissolved into tears Aidan climbed across the center console and practically smothered him with his own body. 

He patted the older boy and kissed his face and once more Alex thought how mature the younger boy seemed. He allowed himself to be comforted and soothed and eventually he felt able to drive them back to his apartment.

Once there they went straight to Alex's room. He realized he would never be able to go into the living room again without thinking of that final scene with his dead mother laying there and that eventually he would have to move.

Without speaking the two boys lay down on Alex's bed and hugged each other as the boy soothed the teen and soon Alex was asleep. Aidan lay there with him patting him gently and thinking about the statement he had made about his grandma dying and he felt ashamed. He realized he was really lucky to have someone to take care of him even if things weren't exactly the way he wanted them and he vowed to be nicer and more appreciative from now on. But for now he knew he had a purpose and that purpose was to help Alex get through his mother's death and though it seemed a little selfish, he knew that in the process they would grow closer and eventually he would have what he wanted.

It was just after 2 a.m. when Alex stirred and he apologized and jumped up and offered to take Aidan home and to even explain to his grandmother what had happened, but Aidan calmly told him there was no hurry. 

"Granny don't get up till seven and she never leaves her room once she goes to bed. I could be gone all night and she'd never know. She's so deaf she can't hear herself fart," he said grinning and Alex smiled, the first time since the nightmare began as Aidan continued, " so she don't even know I'm gone."

"But you should be in bed asleep, you have school tomorrow....."

"Tomorrow is Saturday," Aidan said laughing softly, "Besides, I'd rather sleep with you."

Alex wasn't sure how to take that, was he talking about sleep or sex? "But you need to be home before she wakes up....."

"I'll set the alarm for 6:30, you can drive me home then and I'll go back to bed and sleep till 9 or 10. So should you."

"I....need to call work....I.....I'm supposed to work form noon till close. I just can't though, I'd be worthless....."

"They'll understand. Come on lay back down and I'll lay with ya and we'll sleep a little while."

Again he couldn't refuse the boy. What he was suggesting not only sounded logical, it sounded desirable. He needed the warmth and security of another human being and he could think of no one he would rather be with. 

He allowed himself to be covered and snuggled against the boy and soon was fast asleep. He awoke when the alarm went off and sleepily rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom. After peeing and washing his face he went to wake the boy but found him already up and sitting on the edge of the bed. 

Aidan held Alex's hand the whole trip and when they pulled up in front of his apartment Aidan hugged him and kissed him, "Can you come get me about 7?" he asked gently.

"I...I should be through with all the stuff I have to do by then. What about your grandma?"

"I'm spending the night with a friend. So she don't expect me home tonight," he said but didn't elaborate.

Alex didn't question him, so far the boy was spot on with all his plans and preparations and he knew what he could get away with better than Alex did. 

"I'll be there at 7. We'll go out and eat first. I....I don't wanna cook.....it's kind of weird being there now...."

"Good, see ya then. Alex?"

"Uh huh,"

"I love you and I'll help ya get over this, okay?"

Alex smiled, "I love you too, and you already have helped. See ya at 7 little brother. And.....thanks, thanks a lot."

"Welcome...big brother," he said then bounced off leaving Alex to stare after him and despite his pain he found he was able to manage a smile.
