Chapter Nine: Homecoming Pete walked into John's hospital room with a small daypack over his shoulder. He tossed the bag onto the bed then poked his head into the bathroom where John was brushing his teeth. Hey! Clothes are here! Tthhan-s Ba-de! John said through a mouthful of toothbrush. Rinsing his toothbrush, he spit the frothed up toothpaste into the sink. I mean, thanks Babe! He rinsed his mouth quickly with mouthwash, wiped his face, and left the bathroom. Pete was sitting on the edge of the bed, legs crossed at the ankles, reading a model railroading magazine. He had on khaki cargo pants, a dark blue hoody over a skin tight black T-shirt, and black leather side-zip cap-toe paratrooper boots. John stripped off his hospital clothes and pulled on a pair of boxers from the bag receiving a whistle from Pete in the process causing him to blush. Pete had brought him a baggy pair of carpenter jeans, a skin tight black muscle shirt, and an olive green hoody. To finish it off were his paratrooper boots identical to Pete's. John got dressed then spiked the top of his hair with the gel Pete had brought him. Well, how do I look? Pete looked up, tossed the magazine aside, and stood, wrapping his arms around John. Excellent! You look like you again! The boys kissed holding each other tight. Come on, let's get you checked out with the nurse so we can get outta here! Making sure they left nothing behind the boys left the room and headed for the nurses' station. John's parents had signed all the appropriate paperwork the night before in anticipation of him being released today. John got copies of his post-release instructions and the two boys headed to the parking lot to get Pete's truck. Climbing into the Blazer they decided to go get some pizza before heading home. Munching on bread sticks as they waited for their pepperoni, extra cheese pie the boys talked about everything that came to mind. When the pizza finally arrived the boys made short work of it, in minutes the large pie was gone and the boys were back on the road. Minutes later Pete shut the truck off in the driveway of his house. During lunch the boys had decided to spend the afternoon lounging by the pool and went immediately to Pete's room to change. As they walked out onto the patio around the pool the surface of the water was broken by a head of long black hair. Pete picked up a tennis ball and landed it directly in front of his little sister, she spun toward him. HEY!!! Hey Anya! John's here! Hey John! She swam to the side of the pool, jumped out, ran over to John and hugged him. Easy! Don't put me back in the hospital! I've missed you, it's been like having only one brother lately! Yeah well I'm not actually your brother, not even your brother-in-law really. He laughed, she jabbed him in the ribs. Alright, you guys sit down, I'll go get you some sodas. Draping their towels over the backs, the boys reclined in a pair of plastic lounge chairs with a small table set between them. Looking at each other through their sunglasses they smiled and took each others' hand. Anya returned moments later with a bottle of cola and two glasses filled with ice. After pouring the soda she recapped the bottle and set it in the shade under the table. I'm gonna leave you two alone, just shout if you need anything. Thanks An. With that Anya went back into the house. Man she really loves you! Great! Just what I need a fourteen year old girl in love with me! Pete wiped some of the icy water that had condensed on his glass off and flicked it at John. Not like that, moron! She really does think of you as a brother. Yeah, I know. He smiled at Pete again, stood up, tugged Pete from his chair, and threw him into the pool. As Pete was surfacing John was already in the air. He opened his eyes in time to see John landing a cannon-ball right next to him. HEY! The doc said you need to take it easy! I'm am being easy on you! You still have your shorts on! Oh come on! Not with my sister around! Though I'm sure she'd love an eyeful of your naked ass! AAhh! No way! That's for you alone! Both boys laughed as Pete swam up behind John. Wrapping his arms around his waist he kissed John's neck. Good to have you back Baby! It's good to be out of that hospital, I was tired of sitting around. John turned, wrapped his legs around Pete's hips, and clasping his hands behind Pete's head. They leaned together and kissed briefly. I'm glad you were there for me when I woke up! I'll always be there for you Baby! I love you, never doubt that! I know, I love you too! John and Pete leaned together and kissed again, sensuously this time, feeling each other's love. Breaking from their embrace, they smiled, then dove to the deep end of the pool, enjoying the feel of the water over their bodies as they swam together. Thank you for reading at least this far.
