Epilogue - The Years Ahead.

 



Even though Gary and Nolan had graduated from the middle school and were now attending the high school, they still continued to come to my place nearly every weekend with the other boys.  We continued to do many of the same things we'd been doing for the past year, but we agreed that we wouldn't recruit any more boys, since the group was quite large already. 

Those who were still attending the middle school joined up for the drama club again and took part in the plays and musicals we performed until they graduated from eighth grade as well.  Once the boys left the middle school, they would still come back to attend the various performances and support those who were still participating. 

To my surprise and utter enjoyment, the younger boys also convinced the newer male members of the drama club that they needed to drop trou when changing after the dress rehearsal.  This is merely an abbreviated way of saying they lowered their trousers and exposed the part of their anatomy that made them male.  They did this because they’d been convinced by the others that if they didn't do it then this would jinx the actual performance and it would go badly.  Over time this became a ritual all the boys participated in during each production, even after the original members of my gang had moved on.  This ritual continued throughout my entire tenure in charge of the drama club and none of the parents ever found out or complained about our superstitious rite of passage.   

After leaving the middle school, the boys in my little 'sex club' began to make new friends and eventually became involved in other activities, which meant they began spending less and less time with me.  Even though most had stopped participating in our sessions after a few years, I never recruited more boys to take their place.  In fact, I really didn't have to, since not all of them stopped showing up.  Two of the boys stayed involved and continued to hang out with me, even after they graduated from high school. 

One of those boys was Braedon.  We’d become really close after his father died, and even though he still liked to mess around and enjoyed having sex with me, he also looked at me as a surrogate father.  His mother was happy that we’d bonded and I was able to fill that paternal role for him, even if he had never felt especially close to his dad.  The man’s passing had still left a hole in his life that I was happy to fill, and his mother was pleased that I was doing this for him.  She was even willing to let Braedon spend quite a bit of time with me and even let him stay over on the weekend every now and then.  It was a good thing that Braedon didn't mind sharing me with the other boy who also stayed close, and that was Hunter. 

Hunter ended up spending the most time with me, and this included staying at my place nearly every weekend.  He would remain with his mother during the week, and he’d also spend major holidays with her as well, but then he would come over to spend time with me as soon as she told him he could go.  I’d become a surrogate father to him as well, but we also became lovers.  In the beginning, I had my doubts that he would stay with me after he graduated from high school, and I even encouraged him to find someone his own age.  Even though he dated other guys during his freshman year, I believe he did it primarily to keep me from bringing it up or having arguments about it.  Over time he settled on one particular boy and began spending a great deal of time with him during the following two years of high school.

They would go out on dates on the weekend when he was staying with me, and sometimes the other boy would spend the night here as well.  They would stay in the living room and sleep on the sectional, but I'm sure they were having sex as well.  I never questioned Hunter about it, or pried into their relationship, but they broke up at the end of his junior year.  I was worried about this for a while, but then Hunter began dating other guys during his senior year, but none of those relationships ever seemed to last for very long. 

Since Hunter's mother couldn’t afford to help him pay for college, I offered to do what I could to help out.   I wanted him to have a better life than his mother, so I paid for as much as I could afford, but I also helped him take out loans to cover the rest.  He went to a two-year college first, since it was less expensive, and then he transferred to a four year school.  He graduated with a degree in business and was hired by a local firm when he graduated.  Although he likes his job, he still dreams that someday he will be able to start his own business. 

Shortly after he began that job, he totally moved in with me and we've been living together ever since.  He told me that although he'd dated others throughout high school and enjoyed the time they’d spent together, he preferred to be with me, because I was the only one he truly loved.  This convinced me it wasn't merely a juvenile infatuation any longer, so I happily gave in to his request and we've been lovers for a couple of years now.  I no longer doubt that we will always be together, and I love him as much as he apparently loves me.  I also proposed to him and he accepted, so we’re in the process of planning our wedding.   

Isn't it ironic that a simple request to start a drama club at the middle school has ended up giving me a lifelong companion?  I look forward to sharing a long and happy life with him. 

 

The End.

Although the boys in these stories sometimes have unprotected sex, I strongly urge all of you out there to be smart and protect yourselves from various sexually transmitted diseases by using taking appropriate precautions before engaging in sex.
