"I'm going with you!" Ben insisted. "Trey will trust me!" "You can't go with me," I repeated. "That is precisely what Vlad wants you to do. He wants you to go running to your old lover's rescue. Than he will either kidnap you or he will kill you. So no! You are not coming with me!" "He is right you know," Justin's voice sounded from behind us. "Vlad is using this Trey person to set you up. It is best that you stay here and safe. Kevin and I will go and rescue Trey." "But the last time you've seen Trey you wanted to beat him up," Ben reminded me. "That was because he was cheating on you," I reminded him as well. "I promise I won't beat him up. I'm just going to rescue him and bring him back here. But I really need you to stay here where it is safe." "Where what is safe?" asked a sleepy voice from behind us. I looked over at the door way to see a shaggy headed Tyson standing there. "What's wrong?" "Vlad has captured Ben's old lover and has turned him against his will," I told him. "We are going to rescue him and bring him back here." "Is dad going?" Tyson asked looking worried over in the direction of Ben. Justin looked a little confused. "I kinda sorta adopted him as my dad," Tyson explained to Justin. Justin nodded. "No Ben is not going," I said with force. "I'm trying to convince him that it is a trap. A trap to get him killed." "Pappa is right," Tyson said as he walked over to Ben. "You stay here where it is safe." Ben glared at Tyson for a few seconds. Tyson kicked it into high gear as he let out an adorable pout that Ben could never hope to ignore. "Fine," Ben grumbled. "I'll stay!" I breathed a sigh of relief. "Besides we have packing to do." "Packing?" Tyson asked confused. "Yes son," Ben said with a frown. "We are moving to Transylvania." "Umm Sweetie?" I said softly. "Um there has been a change in plans. We are not moving from the country. Instead we are going to a friends house." "Where?" Ben asked really confused now. "I'll explain it when we get back with Trey, if we get back with Trey," I said as I gave him a quick kiss. I watched in amusement as Justin gave him a quick hug and kiss on the cheek as well. Justin even gave Tyson a quick hug too. Poor Tyson was still in hero worship mode and almost past out when Justin hugged him. Justin just rolled his eyes and shook his head and followed me out of the room. "Do you think we will get to Trey on time?" Justin asked me. "I don't know," I replied as I put a couple of bottles of suppression formula in my back. "Ok let's concentrate." Both of us concentrated on Ben's emotion. I heard Justin take in a sudden breath as he realized how much pain Ben was in worried about Trey. I also knew he felt the intense amount of love he felt for me. "God Kevin," Justin whispered. "I had no idea." "No idea of what?" I asked playing dumb. "He really loves you!" Justin said in awe. "I've never felt anything so strong as that! God I am so sorry I even thought I could come in between something like that." I nodded quietly and closed my eyes and moved us to a section of the beach. The sun was just starting to make it's début. I could hear Trey calling for help. I looked in the direction of his cries and shuddered with horror. The sight was to much to even describe. I thought that Justin was going to get sick. "Welcome to the dark side of Vampires," I said softly. "Now do you see why I got out of it?" Justin swallowed hard and nodded. "Now come on, let's go and rescue Trey." The fight was a short one. After Justin and I drove off the wild vampires that Vlad used to rape and mutilate his victims we concentrated on rescuing Trey. His new vampire features were in full few now. I could smell the fear in the air. The minute he saw me he hissed and bared his teeth at me. "Easy Trey, I'm here to help you" I said in a soothing voice projecting as much peace and tenderness as I could. He let out a small whimper as he closed his eyes and hung his head. I nodded to Justin who walked over to Trey and begin to untie him. Once He had him lose I moved us back to the compound. I heard Ben's sobs the minute we appeared in the living room. Justin continued to hold Trey in his arms. I noticed that Justin no longer had the arrogant pop star look in his eyes. Instead I saw something that I had forgotten. I saw love and compassion in his eyes. And it was directed at Trey. "We need to get him up stairs into the one of the back bedrooms," I instructed them. "It is on the west side of the house and windows are fewer there." Justin nodded as he gently carried the naked young vampire up the stairs. "Give him a bath before bringing him to bed." Justin nodded as he made his way to the back part of the house. I turned to Ben. I saw the pain in his eyes. "We saved him just in time baby," I said softly. "He is going to be fine." Ben sobbed as he ran to me and threw him self into my arms. I shuddered with delight as his body came in contact with mine. Soon I felt another pair of arms wrap around us too. I looked down to see the shaggy haired Tyson hugging us too. I smiled as I kissed the top of his head. "Hey you," I said softly. "Hey," he said suddenly shy. "You feeling any better?" I asked ruffling his hair. "A little," Tyson replied. "Have you eaten?" I asked sternly. I could see that he was paler than normal. He shrugged his shoulders. "Sweetie, like it or not you have to feed on human blood. Yes you can live off of the suppression formula for a short period of time. But you need human blood to survive as well. Now be honest with me. When was the last time you fed?" "4th of July," he mumbled. "That was almost four days ago," I said with shock. I pulled the chord and a young volunteer walked in. "Tyson needs to feed." The young man nodded and walked up to Tyson. Tyson looked fearfully at me. "Don't worry sweetie," I said kissing his cheek. "He will show you what you need to do." The young volunteer took Tyson's hand and led him back up stairs to Tyson's room. I maintained my mental link to his until I heard the soft whimper of the volunteer as Tyson's fangs pierced his young flesh. I felt the same rush that Tyson felt as the young innocent blood flooded into his mouth. I knew that Tyson was going to be just fine. I broke my link and looked lovingly at Ben. "And now you my love," I whispered. "Shall we go check on Trey?" He nodded as he snuggled up to me as I led him up the stairs. >From Ben's point of view. What was I going to say to him? I thought to myself as we stopped out side the doorway of the room that Trey was staying in. I mean the last time I had seen him he was really pissed at me for moving out of the town house and leaving him stuck with the rent. "It's all right," Trey's voice sounded in my head. "I forgive you. And besides it was my fault." I smiled and shook my head softly and I opened the door. Trey was snuggled in the huge bed. He was shirtless and again I was struck with how good looking he was. His messed up almost white blonde hair was just as hot looking as I had remembered it. I quickly swallowed those feelings in the past and walked into the room. I noticed that Justin was sitting in an easy chair. I also noticed that he had not taken his eyes off of Trey. Trey's face was still pale as a ghost and I could still see the fear in his eyes. "Why?" he asked so softly that I almost didn't hear. "Why me?" This time it came out louder as tears flowed out of his eyes. He raised his head up from the pillow and looked at me. I let out a strangled sob as I knelt by his bedside and took him into my arms. Even in his vampire stage he was beautiful. He was sobbing hard into my shoulder. In no time at all the front of my shirt was all wet. Finally the sobbing stopped and I realized that Trey had fallen asleep. I gently laid him back down on the soft pillow. I stood up and backed up into the loving arms of Kevin. "Why?" I asked looking up at Kevin. "Why did he have to turn him. Trey was innocent!" "Actually it didn't start out that way," Kevin sighed. "I have to tell you something sweetie, and you're not going to like it." "What?" I asked concerned. "Well--," Kevin started. "I'm not the innocent person you think I am," a very tired voice sounded from the bed. "At one point I was hoping to be turned by Vlad." I jerked my head and looked at Trey. He was awake and looking down at his hands. "I've killed an innocent boy Ben," he sobbed. "I was angry at you and when he came and showed me what Kevin was I wanted to get back at you both. But after I killed that boy I ran. I ran from Vlad and tried to hide from him. I realized that I was becoming a monster like him. He finally caught me. That was when they turned me. It was horrible. They used me like a piece of meat. Than he bit me and turned me only to kill me. He said he did it because he said vampires felt the pain allot more than mortals did. He is a monster!" "Actually," a raspy voice sounded from behind us. "Trey didn't kill anyone." I turned to see AJ. AJ and I didn't have to much in common. AJ didn't really hang around us very much. Kevin said he did that deliberately so he could keep an eye on the dark vampires. "Vlad paid a volunteer to play the part. After Trey stabbed him with a knife he turned the volunteer. Trey never even got the heart. It was a simple knife wound that would've healed up nicely. So you see Trey, you're not the killer you thought you were. It was a plan to see if you were the right person for Vlad's sick plan. As it turns out you have a good heart." I heard Trey sobbing with relief. I also saw Justin sitting in bed with Trey with his arms around him. "But we do have a problem." AJ reached into his cape and pulled out the head of Rich. Rich was the brother of Brad. I looked at Kevin and I could tell he was angry. "Rich was a member of the dark ones. He was a plant. There is a hole in the grid." "What do you mean?" I asked confused. "It means that Rich has desecrated a host," JC said from behind us. "There are certain things you can do to a host. The host is the bread that is turned into the Body of Christ. Catholics believe that if you do certain things to it than Christ will leave it. Rich did something to it and thus it has left a hole in our defenses. We have to move and we have to move now." "Where will we move?" I asked. "Well Salem is out of the question," Kevin muttered. "I have the perfect place," JC announced. >From Kevin's point of view. "Where?" Ben asked glaring at JC. I could feel the hostility from him. "And why should we trust you? You're nothing but a vampire killer!" JC stepped back a couple of steps and I could feel the hurt radiating from him. "Ben sweetie," I sighed. Ben was still holding a grudge against JC. Why? Well because JC tried to kill him. Now why would that bother him? Go figure. "JC is on our side." "Yea whatever," Ben snapped at JC. "The Wright Compound," JC replied. "And for the record, Ben, I don't want to kill you anymore!" Ben hissed at him and stomped off. JC sighed and looked at Justin for help. Justin sighed and followed Ben out of the room. "I guess I have a lot of work to do to convince him that I really am on his side." JC sighed sadly. "Don't worry JC," I said softly. "Ben will come around. He has a really good heart and so do you. Two people that has really good hearts can't stay enemies forever." "Yea well in the mean time I have to call Johnny and make sure that we have access to the compound," JC said sadly as he turned and walked from the room. I turned and looked at Trey. I could tell that he was still scared to death of me. "I'm not going to bite you Trey," I sighed as I sat next to him. "You've been through a horrible ordeal and I'm not going to make it rougher on you by rehashing old times." Trey breathed a sigh of relief. "But I do have to ask you this." Trey nodded for me to continue. "Do you still have feelings for Ben?" "I don't know Kevin," Trey said honestly. "I look at him and I still see the incredibly good looking guy that I loved at one time. But now I think of him as more of a friend than anything." "Did you burn down his gallery?" I asked bluntly. The look of utter shock crossed his face and I knew at once that Trey didn't burn down Ben's gallery. "I'll take that look as a no," I sighed. Trey let out a huge yawn and I laughed softly. "Get some sleep Trey," I said bringing the covers up around him. "We'll be traveling soon and you'll need to be rested for it." Trey nodded and closed his eyes and was soon sound asleep. I decided that I needed to find my lover. He was not happy when he left the room in a huff. Some times my lover could be a little immature at times. I sighed as I wondered how I was going to deal with his outbursts. Yea they were cute on one hand and tiresome on another. I decided to check his studio first. Once I got in range of it I knew I was headed for the right place. I heard Justin yelling. And he was angry. I picked up my pace. "Stay away Kevin!" Justin shouted in my head. "I'm having a little talk with Ben!" I winced at the harshness of his words. "Don't worry," came a softer reply. "I just want him to understand what a great person JC is. I won't hurt him." I decided to trust Justin on his promise and walked to the living room. I had a lot of work to do if we were going to move out here. When I got there I was faced with another problem. AJ was there with the head of Rich. Brad was there too and he was really upset. "Is this how you show your hospitality?" Brad hurled at me. "You have your goon kill my brother!" "Ok first of all," AJ said in a calm voice. "You're brother was a member of Vlad's clan. He was plotting to open a rift in our defense grid to allow Vlad in. And he succeeded in doing so. I have the proof as well. And just to let you know I was defending myself. He gave me no choice but to destroy him." He picked up the remote to a television set and turned it on. Than he hit the play button on the VCR. "From the security tapes," AJ explained. We all watched in shock and horror as Rich desecrated the host and than left a gate opened to allow anyone access to the property. Than we watched as AJ approached him and tried to stop him. A fight ensued and AJ took him down forced to destroy him. By the time it was over Brad was in tears. He knew that AJ had done the only thing he could. "I'm sorry that your brother died because of this. But you need to understand that I will do what is necessary to protect my family. Anything!" Brad nodded as he sat down and stared into the lifeless eyes of his brother. "Why?" Brad sobbed. "Why did you have to do that little brother? Why did you betray the trust that Kevin and his clan had in us?" We all waited to hear an answer that would never come. After a few minutes Brad looked up and into my eyes. "What do we have to do now to protect you and your family?" "What are you doing?" I asked confused. "I am swearing an allegiance to you and your clan. What must I do to protect your family? A family member of mine has put your family in danger. I want to rectify his wrong doing," Brad explained. "Ok first things first," I said holding up my hand. "We are all in this together. Everyone of us is in grave danger. As long as we are all fighting the forces of evil than we are all in danger. We are all family." I paused to let this sink in before continuing. "We are moving to another location. The location will be secret and you will know when you get there. In the mean time I suggest that we all get plenty of rest." Brad nodded as his followers turned and left the main house. I turned to AJ. "Call Howie," AJ looked confused. "We need him. He once told me that he had access to a very old and very holy relic that would ensure our safety. We need that relic." AJ nodded as he slid on his robe and started to walk out of the room. "Oh and deliver that head to Vlad. He will be very happy to know that we are still on our toes." AJ nodded and picked up the grisly decapitated head and left the room with out another word. "Now I wonder how Ben and Justin's discussion is going?" >From Ben's point of view. "Ben you have to listen to me!" Justin demanded. "JC is a good friend of mine. And you really hurt him just now!" "I'm not listening to you!" I shouted at Justin. "JC is an ass and all he wants to do is try and kill me!" "He is not like that anymore!" Justin sighed looking really pissed. "He has changed!" "Like hell he has!" I shouted. The next thing I knew I was flying across the room. I slammed against the wall. I groaned in pain. "You don't know anything about him!" Justin shouted at me. I was shocked to see tears of hurt and anger streaming down his face. "JC is a very good friend of mine and I won't have you bad mouthing him!" I tried to move but Justin held me there. "No!" Justin sobbed. "You're not going anywhere until you understand what kind of person JC really is! The whole world doesn't revolve around you!" "Well it doesn't revolve around you either!" I hurled back at him. Justin just glared at me. "Fine!" I snapped at him. "Show me what kind of person your precious pretty boy JC is!" Justin closed his eyes as he allowed me to see into his past. I saw images of him and JC. I saw images of Justin when he was really young. I saw bigger kids picking on Justin and JC coming to his rescue. I saw Justin crying his eyes out when the show got canceled and JC holding him telling it would be all right. I saw Justin and JC laughing and joking around with Nsync was first formed. Than I saw a dark shadow come over Justin. I could hear him sobbing in fear as two very large men started to beat up on him. Than I saw JC come to the rescue and push Justin out of the way and take the beatings for him. By now tears were flowing down my face as I saw Justin scream for JC as he passed out on the cold pavement. Hours seem to pass as JC wavered from life to death. Tears flowed down my face as I realized that JC was a good person and I had no right to hate him. I saw JC's confusion as he realized that he was a hunter of the undead. I saw him try to run from his destiny. I saw him sobbing and helpless to help his lover Lance when he was turned by JB. I saw him smile with joy when Lance was reunited with his love. I saw the anguish and confusion as he tried to decide whether to let me live or die. The scenes slowed down to allow me a full view. JC was standing at the window of his house when he found out that Kevin was in love. "He is in love again," Justin's voice said softly. "Why?" Justin sobbed. "I still love him JC." "I'll fix this for you Curly," JC said looking into Justin's eyes. "I'll fix it like I always do." "How will you fix it?" Justin asked with tears flowing down his face. "How JC?" "I have my ways Curly," JC said with his mouth set in a straight line. "I always have my ways." I watched as he approached me that day at Kevin's place. I watched him watch me as I did my exercise routine. I watched as tears flowed down his face as he fingered the stake that was meant to take my life. When he finally decided to take my life I saw the anguish he went through when he realized that he was going to take another life. I was shocked and amazed at the feeling of relief when Brian and Nick and Kevin surrounded me and protected me. Relief flooded JC's heart and soul. Than I felt something else. A fierce level of protectiveness and it was directed at me. JC wanted to protect me. The protection was so great that he was prepared to give his life so that I would live. At some point the scenes stopped and I was sitting on the hearth staring into the flickering flames. "I didn't know," I sobbed over and over again. "I swear I didn't know." At some point I felt the arms of Justin around me. I felt his lips grace my forehead as he kissed me lightly. "I know you didn't know," he whispered in my ear. "But now you do know. And this hatred you are carrying for him must stop." I don't really know how long I sat there looking into the fire. But it must've been hours. I heard Kevin call for me and I looked up at him. He was so beautiful standing there. His green eyes full of love bored into mine. I felt the love and the protectiveness overwhelm me again. Tears started and he was at my side in an instant. I poured my heart and soul out to him as I told him everything I had seen. He, being a true lover sat there and held me and wiped my tears until I had stopped crying. Than he took me by the hand and led me up stairs to our room and took off my clothes and laid me down in the soft bed and covered me up. I drifted off to sleep. >From Kevin's point of view. I knew that Ben had crossed a bridge. Just what kind of Bridge was yet to be determined. He was tired, very tired. Whatever trip Justin had taken him on wore him out. The minute his head hit the pillow he was out like a light. I spent a few minutes gently probing his thoughts and soothing him as much as I could. I was again amazed at how much he loved me. Suddenly I felt unworthy of his love. But when I felt his love brush up against my mind I knew that I was worthy. Why? Well because Ben said so. And that would have to be good enough. "Kevin?" Brian's voice filtered through my thoughts. "Howard is here." I leaned down and kissed my lover on the forehead and quietly left the room. Once down stairs I walked up to Howie and gave him a hug. "Welcome brother," I whispered to him. "It has been too long." "I have brought what you have requested Kevin," Howie said as he held a very old case. "I've got to tell you that it was not easy to convince the Arch Bishop to allow me to take the relic out of the country. But when I said your name he readily agreed. And he has sent his blessing to you and your loved ones." "Thank you again for your service to our cause," I repeated. "I know that you didn't choose to be a part of this life but you seem to be drawn into it time and time again. I value your love and your support." "I am happy to serve Kevin," Howie said as he bowed slightly at the waist. "Besides we are family and what is family for but to help each other out. Now tell me all about this new lover you have." "Ben is sleeping right now," I said as a smile crossed my lips. "You will meet him tomorrow and I know you will love him too. He is a wonderful person and I love him so much." "Be careful Kevin," Howie said with wisdom beyond his years. "You are a leader of a Vampire Clan. And a very unpopular one at that. Keep Ben safe. If the dark ones get him they get to you." "I'm aware of that Howard," I said a little harshly. "But I have no intentions of letting them get to me or my lover. Now have you eaten?" "I had supper on the plane," Howie replied. "Plane food?" I asked. "Come, let's go into the kitchen and rustle up something. And while you are at it you can show me that relic." Later in the kitchen. "It is hard to believe that this is over 2,000 years old," I said as I held the ancient wood in my hands. "On this piece of wood the Savior of the World died for all of our sins." "Yes," Howie said reverently. "And it is still protecting man kind to this day." Howie took the ancient piece of the cross of Christ from me and place it back into the relic depository. "And it will draw to a close a legacy of death and blood shed that has lasted for over 600 years." "We're moving," I said to Howie as I placed a plate of hot food in front of him. "It is no longer safe here. And JC thinks that we will be safer at the Wright Compound." "When do you plan on moving?" Howie asked. "Tomorrow," I replied. "We pack up lock stock and barrel and move out." "Let me know if I can help you," Howie said as he dug into his plate of food. "I will brother," I said as I let out a huge yawn. "Now if you will excuse me I am going to retired for the evening." "I thought that you vampires were night creatures," Howie snickered. "We are," I smiled down at him. "But while we are on the suppression formula we must abide by mortal laws. And right now there is one major mortal law that is demanding my attention." "And that would be?" Howie asked. "Sleep," I replied. "Good night brother." "Night Kevin," Howie waved at me. "Sleep well." I quickly rushed up stairs and to our room. I passed Tyson's room on the way. I heard giggling in the room so I peaked in. Tyson was talking on his cell phone. "It is late Tyson," I said softly. "Tell Aaron good night and that you will talk to him tomorrow." Tyson's cute face grinned at me and he nodded. Giggling again he turned back to the phone and resumed his conversation. It was so good to see Tyson grinning again. In fact it was good to see him acting like a teenager again. Once I reached my room I swung open the door and walked in and smiled again down at my sleeping lover. He had drifted over to my side of the bed and was hugging my pillow. I quickly stripped down and slid in between the sheets and traded myself for the pillow. I shivered with delight as I felt the naked form of my lover press up against me. I lightly kissed him on his sleeping lips and closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep as well. The next morning from Tyson's point of view. I woke up to what I thought was an empty bed. But it wasn't empty. I looked at the pillow next to me and saw the shaggy head of my lover Aaron Carter. I snuggled closer to him and wrapped my arms around him. I kissed him lightly on his bare shoulder. Than I got an idea. I sucked on his flesh for a few minutes. At first all I was going to do is give him a couple of hickies but as time went on I got very horny and moved from his shoulders to his nipples. Yep, I was on a mission. I was going to ravage my lover for as long as I could. I could tell by his moaning and movements that my prey was awake. "Umm what are you doing?" his sleepy voice sounded over me. By now I had reached his stomach muscles. I looked up at his incredible blue eyes. "Ravaging you," I giggled as I dove my tongue into his belly button. Aaron let out this really cute whimper and I made up my mind that I wanted to go further. I reached his boxers and eagerly pulled them down. I finally saw the part of him that I wanted to touch, taste and give pleasure. I reached out and touched it with my hand. Aaron let out another moan as my fingers closed around his shaft. "Oh my," I said licking the head of his cock. "Some one is very lonely." Aaron just whimpered softly as I slid my lips around his shaft. I was in heaven as I sucked his cock for the very first time. I knew he wasn't going to last very long. He was young and horny like me. I worked fast and hard cause I wanted his cum down my throat. I didn't have to wait very long. It shot out of his cock and down my throat. I swallowed as quickly as I could. Finally the flow stopped and I tenderly licked him clean. After he was all clean I snuggled back up to him and started to suck on his nipple. "Wow" Aaron breathed. "That was ummm wow!" "I'm glad you liked it sweetie," I smiled up at him. "When did you get in?" "About three this morning," Aaron replied kissing the top of my head. "I wanted to surprise you and instead you surprised me." "I missed you so much," I said with a pout. "I was all alone in this big bed." "Well you're not alone anymore sexy," Aaron replied. "Now it is time for you." He grinned this very naughty and sexy grin as he dove under the covers and attacked me. I knew that this was going to be a very good day. >From Ben's point of view. I walked by Tyson's room and heard Tyson let out a whimper. I peaked in and quickly shut the door. "What is going on in there?" Kevin asked softly. "Aaron is home," I replied blushing. "What did you see?" Kevin asked smirking. "Something that a daddy should never see his son doing," I replied still blushing. Kevin giggled softly and I lightly punched him in the arm. "I just hope they know what they are doing." "They love eachother sweetie," Kevin reminded me. "Come on, let's go down and fix breakfast. We now have two very hungry teens to feed now." "Don't remind me," I sighed. "Do you think we'll have enough food?" Kevin laughed as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. Kevin and I were reallly enjoying our quiet time before the big move. Kevin was feeding me fruit and I was making lovey dovey eyes at him. Everything was right with the world until we heard the stampede. "It looks like our special time alone is up," Kevin sighed as he slid another piece of fruit into my mouth. I managed to latch onto his finger and started sucking on it really hard. Kevin looked at me with his naughty glint in his eyes that drove me wild. It would've turned into a well-- let's just say we would've have alot of fun if meanie Tyson didn't interupt. Grrrrr "Ewwww gross Dad!" Tyson whined as he walked in with Aaron right behind him. "Don't you guys have a room for that?" Kevin reluctantly withdrew his finger. I looked up at Tyson and saw that he was glowing. I also noticed that he had quite a few hickies on his shoulder and neck. "Been chewing on my son again?" I asked grinning at Aaron. Aaron blushed and looked down. "Quite a lot of noise coming from your room this morning boys. Is everything all right?" By now Tyson and Aaron were blushing deeply. Yea yea I was mean. But hey! they interupted a good make out session with fruit involved! I heard Kevin chuckling softly to him self. "Well yea umm well...," Tyson stammered as he thought of a nice way to answer me. "We're fine!" he blurted out guiltily. "Sure you are," I giggled. I turned and looked seriously at Aaron. "Be gentle with him. I love him like a son and I don't want him hurt." Aaron nodded and wrapped his arms around Tyson's slim chest and laid his head on Tyson's shoulder. I had to admit that they looked really cute. "Now go eat breakfast, we have a lot of stuff to pack." I watched in amazement as the two teens attacked the food with a vengence. Thankfully there was enough to go around. I looked at Kevin and he nodded. "Ummm guys?" I asked taking a huge drink of water. "We need to have a little umm talk." "About?" Tyson asked as he swiped a piece of bacon from Aaron's plate. Aaron in turn swiped some eggs from Tyson's plate. They had been eating off of eachother's plate all breakfast. Ugghhh young love! "Well have you guys umm well--," I stammered. "What my lover is trying ask is," Kevin said looking at me with his gentle loving eyes. "Is how sexually active are you two?" It was really funny to watch orange juice shoot out of Tyson's mouth. Aaron had this really cute and scared look on his face. I tried so hard no to laugh but failed. Finally after recieving a scolding look from Kevin I got my giggles under control. "I know that Tyson and you are really in love. And it is ok with us if you want to go that extra step and have sex. But Ben an I are just really worried that you're not ready to take that extra step yet. Making love is a huge step. One that you should be ready for. And we were just wondering if you had already taken that step and if not--, well if you have any questions or need any advice Ben and I are here for you." "Yea," I replied taking Tyson's hand. "Eversince you've come into our lives we think of you our son. And we want you to be happy. If making love with Aaron is what makes you happy than we're happy for you. But taking that step is really big. And we just want to make sure that you are both ready for it." I was shocked to see Tyson's eyes water up with unshed tears. Aaron saw them too and wrapped his arms around Tyson and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Umm dad," Tyson said in a soft voice. "Aaron and I do love eachother very much. I think that this past week has really shown us just how deep our love goes. And well we are kinda sexually active we haven't taken the really big step yet. We want to but we still have some things to discuss first." Aaron nodded as he snuggled closer to Tyson. It was really cute to see them all cuddly together. "Well," Kevin said as he breathed a sigh of relief. "We're here for you Tyson, and for you to Aaron. If there is anything we can do to make your decision easier for you than let us know." "Kevin?" JC's voice sounded from the doorway. I looked up and saw him standing there and I was racked with guilt. I had hurt him and hurt him back. "We're ready to move out." "Thanks JC," Kevin replied. JC turned to leave. "Ummm JC?" I asked softly. He stopped and turned around and looked at me. "Ummm can we talk?" "Yea sure," JC said as he walked back into the dining room. "What's on your mind?" I was relieved that Kevin had ushered Tyson and Aaron out of the room. I was alone with JC. "Umm I really wanted to apologies to you for how I treated you," I said softly. "I mean all you've been doing is trying to protect us and save us and all. I had no right to come down on you so hard. Can you forgive me?" "Of course I can," JC as he smiled at me. It was the first real smile I've seen him make in a long time. "And just for the record, I did try to kill you the first time we met. So I guess you did have a pretty good reason for not trusting me." "Yea I know but since then you have proven to be a really good friend to Kevin and Brian and Nick and well I want us to be friends too," I replied. JC smiled at me. "So will you?" "Will I what?" JC asked as he grinned a naughty grin. "Will you be my friend?" I asked grinning back. "Too late," he giggled. "I'm already your friend." JC walked over to me and gave me a hug. I had to admit it felt good. "Now let's go join the others. It is moving day again." TBC
