The Road Home:  Part Seven   (Say hello to my little friend.)


"Where's Cody?"  Demanded Dakota.

"No idea?"  Josh said.  "I reminded him about the team meeting.  Why isn't
Ryan here?"

"He'll be here. He's taking care of something for me."  Dakota said.

knock knock (pause) knock

"That better be Cody. I don't tolerate anyone being late!"  Dakota said
going to open his dorm room door.

"Where the Fuck have you been asshole?"  Demanded Dakota.

"Sorry Sir.  I couldn't get away from my new room mates parents."  Cody said
with his head bowed.

"I don't give a fuck about your room mate, his parents, or even your Dad!
You do what I say or you'll be off the team!"  Dakota said loud enough for
everyone to hear.  "I don't think you want a certain video to fall into the
wrong hands now do you?"  Cody shook his head and sat down with the others.

"Now I've called this meeting because we have a problem!  We don't need any
more problems after last year.  Can someone tell me what this problem is?"
Dakota paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.  No one said
anything.

"JOSH!  Tell these Puckheads what THEIR problem is!"  Dakota demanded.

"Tyler Peel.  Sir!"

"Tyler Peel." Repeated Dakota.  "This Canadian asshole is bent on destroying
this team!  A team I've worked very hard to create!  THIS IS MY TEAM, not
HIS!"

"We need a cohesive plan to ." knock knock (pause) knock Dakota stopped and
went to open the door.

"Hey D."

"How did it go?"

"Perfect.  Exactly as you planned, everything is set up."  Ryan said smiling
hoping to please Dakota.  Dakota gave Josh the Al Pacino' slap to the side
of his face.  "Go sit in your place." Dakota told him.

"As I was saying. we need to remove Mr. Peel from the team, but we need to
be very careful about how we do it.  Don't fool yourself!  Tyler is not
stupid, even though he is a Canadian.  I sat through a lecture from the
Coach because of him.  He almost had most of us removed from the team.  He
complained about each and every one of you ganging up on him.  You have to
understand that Coach Conners job is on the line.  That is why he brought in
this asshole.  Are we going to stand for this?"  Dakota yelled at them.  No
response.

"I SAID, ARE WE GOING TO STAND FOR THIS?"

"NO SIR!"  They all responded in unison.

"Now we need a plan, but it has to be foolproof.  Nothing can come back on
us.  Ryan and Cody, will you go get us something to drink?"  Dakota asked
smiling at him.

"Yes Sir."  And Ryan and Cody left the room.

"I asked Ryan and Cody to leave because I want you all to know that Ryan was
selling me out to the Coach as well.  So you better believe he will turn on
any one of YOU!  Cody, I just don't trust him but the day may come when we
need the Coach's son in our corner, of course I have some insurance there
already.  When Peel is out of the way we'll deal with Ryan but right now we
need to keep this enemy close.  If I hear a word of this conversation has
gotten back to Ryan or Cody then I guarantee what I do to you will be ten
times worse than what I will do to Ryan!  Now the person who comes up with
the best plan to get rid of Tyler Peel will be rewarded with the second
Assistant Captain's position on the team once he is gone!  Is everyone
clear?"

"YES SIR!"  They said together.

"Good!  Now start throwing out ideas so when Ryan and Cody return they will
think this is what we've been talking about.  I want everyone to remember
that this meeting started at 8:30 p.m. if anyone should ever be asked!"
Dakota said continuing his pacing back and forth.

Ryan and Cody returned with a 12-pack of Coke and a mickey of Rye.  Dakota
poured out seven plastic cups of Rye and Coke but doubled up the Rye in
Ryan's drink.  Dakota listened to many stupid ideas, from kidnapping and
killing him, to breaking into the school's computer and changing his marks.
He smiled at each one of their stupid ideas, trying to encourage their
hatred for Tyler and their loyalty to him.

As the meeting was about to break up Dakota reminded them all, "Remember
everyone!  Tyler is out to get you.  Don't do anything to give him reason to
go to Coach Conners.  Be polite, but barely friendly.  He needs to know that
he isn't liked but leave his final demise up to me.  Now all of you get the
hell out of here, except you Ryan!"  Dakota yelled at his team.

After everyone had left Dakota glared at Ryan who dropped his head down.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't throw your ass off the team?"  Dakota
said, slapping Ryan across the face.  Ryan put his hand to his cheek hoping
to ease the sting but said nothing to Dakota.

"I fucking hate TRAITORS!"  Dakota said as he walked to his door and locked
it.  "You're either on my team or you're not!"  Ryan started to whimper.
"Get your fucking clothes off traitor!"  Dakota yelled.

Ryan began removing his 'blue light' sweatshirt over his head and Dakota
pulled on it, tearing the neckline and removing it off his body.

"Turn around traitor!  I can't even stand to look at your face!"  He said as
Ryan dropped his shorts and sponge bob briefs.

"Faggot briefs for my little faggot!  You know the position!  Get down on
all fours traitor!"

Ryan dropped to the floor on his hands and knees and tears began flowing
freely.

"You're not worthy of my cum traitor" Dakota said as he pulled down his
track pants and rammed his erect cock up Ryan's ass."

"Oh god that hurts D.!!!  Please use some lube!"

"Shut up traitor, your lube was in your drink!  Dakota said as he fiercely
pumped Ryan's tight ass.  Ryan yelped in pain.

"Shut up faggot!"  Dakota said slapping the back of head with one hand and
gripping Ryan's ass with the other.  As Dakota was quickly approaching his
orgasm he pulled out of Ryan's ass and demanded he turn around and made him
face him on his knees.  He then told Ryan to bring his face up to his cock
and begin masturbating him to orgasm.

"Don't even think of opening your mouth traitor!  You're not worthy of
eating my cum!"

Dakota felt his balls pull in tight.  He was really getting off on this but
didn't want to show Ryan how much pleasure he was getting.  "When I say 'let
go' you LET GO and don't move!  Not one fucking inch faggot!"  Dakota said.

"Close your fucking eyes and let go!" He yelled at Ryan.

Dakota took over jerking himself off and exploded his orgasm all over Ryan's
face.  After three good shots over Ryan's closed mouth he drained the last
four all over Ryan's face.  Then Dakota took his cock and rubbed his cum all
over Ryan and finished off by wiping it three times on each side of his
face.

"Now lick your shit off my cock and take your clothes and clean yourself up
in my bathroom.  Then get the fuck out of here!"  He yelled pointing down
the hallway.

As a steady stream of tears flowed down Ryan's face he did as he was told
and left without saying a word.

Dakota's cell phone rang.  It was Josh on the call display.  "What up number
two?"  He said to Josh.

"Hey Dakota, I was doing a search on Tyler Peel and I found out his birthday
is September 30th.  Which happens to be a Friday!  Do you think we could
come up with something to tie into a birthday party for Tyler?"  He asked.

"Good thinking Josh!  That's why you're the number two man on this team!  By
the way, ring up Cody and tell him I will be needing his services tonight!"

Josh laughed and said, "No problem Dakota. Night."

"Night Josh!"  Dakota said clicking his cell phone shut.  A birthday party
for Mr. Peel. hmmm.  Dakota thought to himself. "Nah. too many people.  I
need to so something to him where I am near him so I can't be blamed!"

Tyler unlocked the door to his room only to find it in darkness.  He
couldn't tell if Derek was asleep or not so he pulled the bathroom door to
within a couple inches of being shut and turned on the bathroom light.  He
then trudged through the darkness around the loveseat and reached underneath
his bunk bed to turn on the little light by his computer.  He peered over
his bunk and saw Derek wasn't there.  Tyler turned on his computer and then
turned on the overhead light.  He wanted to go shower and go to bed but he
needed to stay up and move his vehicle.  He set the alarm on his cell phone
to go off at 6 a.m. so he could have a run before having brunch with the
Anderson's.  Tyler had proudly perfected his left hand flip of the cell
phone over his head and on to the bunk bed above.  When his cell phone hit
his bed he heard the 'smack' of his phone hitting something.  He looked up
on his bed to find his family picture lying there.  He looked over to the
wall to see that the picture was missing.  Picking it up he looked at and
said aloud, 'David I love you and miss you'.  He hung the picture back over
his 5-drawer chest and sat back down at his computer.

knock knock knock knock

Tyler got up to answer the door figuring it was Mike.  He opened the door to
see Derek standing there.

"Thanks Ty!  I forgot my key and was hoping you would be home."

"No problem!"  Tyler said turning and walking back to his computer.

There was this uncomfortable silence in the room for Derek.  He wasn't use
to it being this quiet.  'Am I actually missing my family before I've been
away one night' he thought to himself.  Derek stripped down to his boxers
and began hanging up his dress clothes.  Tyler kept stealing glimpses of
Derek's sculpted chest and firmly packed butt!  Tyler really liked the
height of these beds as he could stare all he wanted without Derek seeing
him do it.  Derek put his pillows inside of two pillowcases and tossed them
up on his bunk bed and then dropped his head down under to ask Tyler a
question.  He caught Tyler staring right at him.

"Ty, are you going to bed soon?"

"No, I have to go out in a bit and then I want to take a shower.  I kind of
reek of garlic if you haven't noticed?"  He said.  Pointing his nose into
his armpit.  "That ain't doin so well either."

'Hmmmm. shower with Tyler.oh yeah!!' Derek thought.

"How long do you have to go out for?"  Derek asked.

"Ten minutes at the most, but I will be real quiet if you want to go to
bed!"

"Nope. I'm too stuffed to sleep.  I think I will get the rest of my computer
hooked up now that I have a power bar and probably take a shower myself.  I
smell like a mall myself. a garlic mall to be exact!"

Tyler smiled.  "So where are the showers?"  Derek asked.

"Halfway down the hall on our side.  I can show you when I get back if you
want?"

"Great.  Thanks, that would be."

knock knock knock

"I'll GET IT!  IT'S FOR ME!"  Tyler jumped up.

He opened the door and Mike was standing there.  Derek peeked around his bed
and saw it was a security guard.  He wondered what it was about but they
seemed to talk in whispers.  Something just isn't right he thought.

Tyler reappeared and said he would be right back.

"Everything okay?"  Derek asked sounding concerned.

"Yup."  And Tyler grabbed his keys and ran out of the room.

Derek looked over at Tyler's computer and wanted to snoop around.  He jumped
into his chair and looked at the screen.  His desktop pic was of his brother
and their dog.  He saw his MSN was on and he opened it up to look at it.
There were only five people on it and one of the offline names was Derek.
Another offline name was 'David' and Derek figured that it must be his
brother.  'Weird. I have about seventy people on my MSN.'  Derek then
clicked on options, tools, privacy, and he scanned the blocked list.  There
must have 200 people on it.  'Wow this guy really doesn't like people though
you wouldn't know it in the restaurant.'  Then Derek looked at the 'view'
list of people who had Tyler on their MSN.  He scanned the list and figured
it had to be over 200 as well.

"What the fuck?  Is that my brother's email address!" He said aloud.

Tyler inserted his key into the door.  Derek heard the key, closed the
options menu and minimized the MSN and jumped back into his chair pretending
to be hooking up power cords into the power bar.  As Tyler rounded the
loveseat Derek took one last look and quickly turned Tyler's chair so it was
facing out his side while Tyler wasn't looking his way.

"I really like the way you set the room up Ty.  I love this curtain." He
said pulling it back and forth.

"Good. I put it up there for you. I didn't really but there are times that a
guy does need his privacy."  Tyler said while staring at his screen and
typing an email.

Derek laughed but Tyler didn't react to it.

"Shit, it's almost midnight!"  Tyler said looking at his watch.  "I need to
shower now and get to bed."

"What's the rush?"  Derek asked flipping on the power button to his
computer.

"I want to get a run in tomorrow morning before we go to brunch."

"It's Brunch Ty!  What fucking time do you get up to run?"  Derek asked.

"Tomorrow I'm going to sleep in until six."

"WHAT THE FUCK?  Sleep!  Till six!"  Derek gasped.  "Who the fuck gets up at
six?"

"Umm. normally I try to be on my run by five so I beat the heat and
humidity.  Is that a problem?"  He asked looking concerned.

"Not as long as you don't wake me!"  Derek laughed.

"I'm off to shower." Tyler said getting up and stripping off his clothes.

"Hey! Wait! Don't go without me." Derek said standing up and pulling out a
towel.

Tyler walked around Derek with a towel wrapped around his waist and Derek
immediately noticed his package was extruding out and downward from the half
toga.

"Got your key Derek?"  He said passing by him.

"Shit!"

"Don't worry about it, I've got mine."  Derek followed Tyler out and caught
up to him walking on his right side.  Tyler slowed and stared at room 556 as
they passed it by.  It didn't go unnoticed by Derek.

"Looking for someone?"

"Maybe." Tyler said as he took a sharp left into the shower room and turned
on the lights.  Derek followed as Tyler removed his towel and tossed it over
his shoulder.  Derek traced the exposed left half of Tyler's body.  Tyler
stepped into the first shower and turned it on.  Derek stepped into the
shower directly beside Tyler and did the same.  While Tyler ran his face
under the hot steaming water, Derek removed his boxers and place them on the
hook followed by his towel.  Derek stepped under the water while trying to
glance over the partition wall and check Tyler out.  He didn't have any luck
because Tyler was turned towards the door.  At first Derek thought that
maybe Tyler was shy and simply covering himself up but he realized that he
was actually watching the shower room door.  Something strange was going on
with Tyler thought Derek.  He seemed to stare at room 556 and now he's
watching the doorway.

Tyler shut off his water and turned to grab his towel.  As he turned he saw
Derek staring at him.  He stopped and stared back for a second.  "Derek?
Derek?" Tyler asked.

"Huh? What?"  Derek said blinking his eyes.

"Nothing. I was just going to tell you that I was headed back to the room."

"Oh, okay.  Wait up a sec I'm done. sort of."  He smiled as he looked down
at his partially erect cock.  Tyler wrapped his towel around and walked to
the door.  He turned around and leaned against the door waiting for Derek.

When they got back into their room Derek dropped his towel by his side of
the bed and went searching for clean boxers.  He was trying to put on a
little show but Tyler wasn't biting tonight. figuratively or literally!
Tyler put his foot on the window ledge and hoisted himself up into his bed,
covered up and closed his eyes.

Derek put both his hands on the side rails of the bed.  His nose was resting
on the top of his mattress.  He shook the bed slightly trying to figure out
the best way to get up without falling and making a fool of himself.  This
woke Tyler and made him turn his head to look at him and he broke out
laughing.

"HAHAHA Killroy is HERE!"  Tyler laughed so hard that he had to hold his
stomach.  Tears flowed freely as he gasped for breath.

"What's so funny?"  Asked Derek missing the humour of the situation.

"Derek!  Have you never seen the drawings on bathroom walls of the top of
the guy's head with his nose hanging over and the two hands?  Below the
caption reads 'killroy was here!'"  Tyler burst out laughing so hard again
he almost went into convulsions.

"Well if you don't die from laughing or me killing you. would you mind
telling me the best way to get up here?"  Derek said more than a little
perturbed with Tyler.

"Aaaaah hahahaha. Ooooooo hahahaha.  STOP IT deep breath you're killing me
already" Tyler went on mimicking a seizure.  "Oh GOD!  Oh GOD!  Don't . say.
another. word." Tyler gasped.

When Tyler regained as much composure as possible he leaned over on to
Derek's side of the bed and looked down at him saying, "What was it you
wanted again?"  And broke out into another fit of laughter.  "Okay, okay.
I'm all better now. HAHAHAHA. No! No, I'm not!  HAHAHAHA" Tyler went on.
Derek was really getting pissed at Tyler now.

Tyler climbed over on to Derek's bed and lowered his hand to pull Derek up.
Derek grabbed it while putting one foot on his desk chair and made it up.
Tyler let go and fell down laughing, half on Derek's bed.

"I'm sorry!  Gasp I'm so sorry gasp Oh God. somebody kill me now" and Tyler
went back into another wave of uncontrollable laughter and tears flowing
steadily down his cheeks.  Derek lay on his side facing Tyler, as he had no
room to go anywhere else with Tyler on half of his bed.  Tyler turned on his
side facing Derek, almost pushing him off the bed.  Tyler wrapped his arm
around Derek's waist and pulled him close, face-to-face.  "C'mere, closer
gasp I want to gasp tell you something.  Tyler began singing to the theme of
the 'hokey pokey' while pointing down behind Derek.  "You put your right
hand here. and your left foot there. and you give yourself a lift and you
turn it all about .  HAHAHAHA" Tyler rolled over toward his bed in
hysterics.  Derek picked up a pillow and smashed him over the head with it.

"YEAH gasp That's it! gasp Kill me!  It's the only way to stop me! gasp
hahahaha.  Please kill me!!"  Tyler did his best to be audible between
breaths.   After a few minutes Tyler settled down to occasional giggles.  He
dare not look at Derek's face he thought and then snorted thinking about
what might happen.  Tyler looked over at Derek lying on his side with his
right hand holding up his head and smiling.

"Oh God no!" And broke into laughter again.  After another 10 minutes of
snickering on and off.  He looked over at Derek.  Biting his top lip he
snorted again.  Derek gave up.  He couldn't hold it back any longer and they
both started laughing this time.  Derek burying his head in the pillow and
Tyler kicking his feet up and down like a child having a temper tantrum.

BANG BANG BANG  "KNOCK IT OFF IN THERE!"  It came through the wall beside
them.  That only started the two of them up again.  Next thing they were
both gently touching each other trying to 'shush' each other up through
their laughter when their eyes locked on each other and everything became
silent and still.  They let go of each other at the same time and Tyler
moved back onto his bed.  Each covered up to their necks with comforters and
lying on their sides facing each other, they smiled.

"This is kind of like being 12 years old and having a friend sleep over for
the first time."  Derek said.

"I'm not telling you what me and a friend did on our first sleepover!"
Tyler said grinning.

"Me neither!  Thanks for tonight Ty, what you did at the restaurant was
really special!"

"Your welcome Derek.  I had more fun than you guys did.  Your family is
really great!"  Tyler said looking away.

"Yeah, my family really loves you, more than they love me I'm sure." Derek
said sulking.

"Derek!"  Tyler sat up in bed.  "Don't say that!  Don't even think that!
They love you and you're fucking lucky to have them!  Your brothers are
amazing.  I'd kill to be their big brother!"

"Whatever." Derek sighed.

"Sorry!" Tyler said.

"Sorry for what?"

"I'm sorry I said anything. It isn't any of my business to comment on your
family and if you don't know how good you've got it then it isn't my right
to be pointing it out!"  Tyler was getting angry.

"You heard my brother and Dad. they would trade me for you in a minute!
You're everything they ever wanted in a son and brother anyway."  Derek said
rolling over to face away from Tyler.

"They were teasing you asshole and you deserved it.  You treat your brothers
like shit.  Someday when you need them, they won't be there for you and it
will be too late for you to make up."  Tyler said rolling over and facing
away from Derek.

"Christ!  You sound like my mother!"  Derek yelled back.

There was silence for what seemed like a very long five minutes when Derek
said, "I noticed you didn't say you would kill to be my brother."

"You're right; I wouldn't kill to be your brother." He said aloud.  I'd kill
to be your lover if you weren't such an obnoxious and self-righteous
fuckhead he thought to himself.

"Wot?" Answered a sleeping Danny laying his head against the door.

"Shit! I'm sorry Dan!  I didn't think you would be asleep?"

"What time is it?  Danny asked through his haze.

"It's after midnight.  I'll get going. I'm sorry I woke you."

"After midnight?  What happened?  I thought you said your meeting would be
over by ten?"  Inquired Danny.

"I know. I had some extra work to do and couldn't get away until now.  I'm
really sorry Dan, I missed you so much!  I came over as soon as I got out of
there.  Talk with you tomorrow."  Cody said.

"No. It's all right.  Come in. It's our last night without me having a
roommate so we shouldn't waste it." Danny rubbed his eyes and yawned pulling
the door open to let Cody in.

Danny closed the door and Cody pushed him back against the wall.  Holding
his face still Cody began kissing Danny.

"Okay. Okay. I got the point," Danny said pushing Cody back.  Go get changed
and join me in bed.  I have the alarm set for 7 a.m.  You have to be out of
here by then in case my new roomy shows up early."

"Cody hopped up into Danny's bed and snuggled.  They began kissing and
rubbing each other's backs.  Danny was waking up more by the minute and so
was his erection.  He worked his hands down Cody's back then tried to rub
his butt but Cody flinched!

"Don't do that!"  Cody yelped.

"Don't do what?"  Danny asked.

"I've gotta go.  We're not going to get any sleep.  I love you!" Said Cody
kissing Danny's lips and then jumping down out of the bed.  Cody threw on
his clothes and dashed out the door.

"What the fuck just happened?"  Danny said rubbing his eyes.

"Ty?  You asleep?" Derek whispered.
"Not anymore." Tyler mumbled into his pillow.

"I'm sorry about earlier.  I know you mean well and I know you're right even
if I don't want to admit to it."  Derek said quietly as Tyler rolled over to
face Derek.

"Look Derek, it's going to take time for us to get to know each other, to
live with and accept each of our little quirks!"

"You mean like your half-naked dancing and horrid singing?"  Grin

"Yeah. like that asshole!"  Tyler glared at him jokingly.  "I can be just as
obnoxious as you and twice as stubborn!"

"Who ever said I was obnoxious?"  Derek laughed

"I never actually 'said' it!" Tyler used his fingers to make quotations
marks.

"What do we do about . you know?"  Derek whispered.

"I know?"

"Yeah!  You know!"  Derek repeated.

"Derek it's after one in the morning. what the fuck are you talking about?"

"Jerking off!  Masturbation!  Pullin' the pud!"  Derek said.

" 'Pullin' the pud?' Since when is jerking off a group subject?  Oh God. I'm
in grade eight again." Tyler said dropping face first into his pillow.

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"What are we going to do about jerking off?"  Derek asked.

"Now? I just want to sleep Derek."

"No no, no!  I mean what do we do about privacy?"

"Oh Thank God. by the way, if anyone asks?  You are definitely Luke's
brother!"

"Why?"

"Dammit Derek, don't change the subject on me!"

"What?"

"I'm going to bed Derek. 'la la la la..' I can't hear you anymore." Tyler
said into his pillow.  Derek pulled the pillow out from under his face.

Tyler invoked his Southern drawl again and said,  "I KEEL YOU!"

"Seriously Ty!  What if I wanna jerk off right now?  What do I do?"

"You don't know how?  THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO ME!  Derek?  Why does every
American I know, that also knows you, THINK I am the slow one???"

"Sure! Change the subject on me when I'm talking to you about something
really personal here!"  Derek crosses his arms on his chest.

"Note to self!  This chapter of my life will be title ' A Canadian Yankee in
a Kangaroo Court!"  Tyler said pulling his pillow back from Derek's lap and
putting it under his head.  "Derek!  Listen closely!  See the CURTAIN up
there?  Pull the fucking thing across when you want to jerk off and let me
go to sleep!

"NO!"

"No?" asked Tyler.

"NO!  I can't jerk off now because you're awake and you'll know I'm doing
and therefore I won't be able to get hard so I won't be able to do it.."
Derek babbled on.

"Trust me, it will be just you and Sponge Bob!  Now shut the fuck up or I am
going to rip your cock off and shove it down your throat till you can't
breath!" Tyler yelled

"Fine! Be that way!"  Derek grumbled

Tyler rolled over.  "Derek, are you a little upset or lonely maybe?  I
understand if you are, I went through it when I first arrived."

"Maybe."

"Thank God!  We got to the heart of the problem..  Roll on your side and
slide over here."  Derek did as he was told.  Tyler wrapped his comforter
over himself and Derek as well.  He slid his knees so they were inside of
Derek's knees and spooned up against him.  He then put his arm around
Derek's chest and pulled him in close.

"Thanks Ty."

"That's what best friends are for.now shut up and go to sleep so I don't
have to 'keel' you."  Tyler gently squeezed Derek's chest three times.

"Ty?"

"What."

"I'm not sure how to say it but there's something sticking up my ass?"

Tyler's eyes popped open.  "I hope you're not expecting me to pull out
whatever it is you have in there?"

"Ty!"

"Hang on.  hehehe. sorry, my cell phone!"  Tyler laughed.

"Does it vibrate?"  Derek asked?

"Yeah."

"Okay, you can leave it there then." Derek sighed and closed his eyes.

"Huh?"  Tyler said.
