Love Me
Chapter 26,
Part 2
About the
Future
Jared and
Caden have spent a vast chunk of the day talking amongst themselves and Lisa
about the future. They also discussed Riley and Ryan's relationship and the relationship's
future. The two men have moved to the
living room. They are relaxing a
bit. The guys are cuddling on the couch
and talking quietly among themselves. As
they are talking, they hear someone at the door.
***
It isn't
just one person at the door. There are
two people at the door; Riley and Ryan.
Ryan opens the door, and the teens enter the house. They see Caden and Jared sitting on the couch
together. Ryan smiles at them and then
winks at them.
"Have you
enjoyed your alone time?"
The question
and the wink aren't missed by Riley.
Riley smirks. Caden looks at
Riley's boyfriend.
"Not even
going to touch that question. Are you
guys going to be here a while?"
This time
Riley responds to his brother and his brother's fiancée.
"Yeah...yeah...we
are...going to my room."
Caden and
Jared are okay with the guys being up there because they trust the teens. Riley looks at this brother wanting to ask a
question but is too afraid to ask. It's
trapped in the pit of his stomach. Maybe,
he can get the question out later. For
now, he takes his boyfriend's hand, and they walk up the stairs together. Jared could see something in his little
brother's eyes and wonders if something was going on in that brain of
Riley's. Is the kid up to
something? It wouldn't be the first time
the kid has caused trouble. Would he get
Ryan in trouble too? No, he wouldn't get
his boyfriend in trouble with Caden.
Still, something was sitting on that teen's tongue. Meanwhile, Caden and Jared decide to watch some
television. Upstairs, the guys turn on
Riley's tv and watch a movie.
***
As the movie
plays, that question that was burning in Riley's mind suddenly erupts out of
Riley's mouth.
"You...want
to...spend...the night?"
Ryan is
taken aback by Riley's question. He's
been scared to bring up the subject because of big brother, and Ryan doesn't
want to face an angry Caden or Jared. He
also doesn't want to disappoint his guy.
Ryan knows that something will happen if they spend the night
together. Neither of the guys knows exactly
what would happen, but neither would regret what would happen. At least until they come face-to-face with
the adults in the house.
"Ry, I can't
just spend the night. We need permission
from my parents, your brother, and Jared."
This
response isn't what Riley wanted, but hearing that nickname come from his
boyfriend's mouth melts Riley's heart a little bit. It really does feel good to know that Ryan
does love him. Riley isn't being pitied
by Ryan because of his disability. What
started as a friendship has turned into real love.
"Oh...oh...okay...you
call?"
Knowing that
Riley is asking if he is going to call his parents. Ryan gets out his phone. He's nervous because
he knows his mom will make him talk with Caden and the guys.
"Riley, I'll
call, but I want to keep enjoying our time before I call."
Riley leans
into his boyfriend, cuddles up next to him, and the guys continue playing video
games.
***
Riley and
Ryan spend most of their day playing video games and a few board games. The guys
usually don't spend this much time playing games, but Riley was content. Then again, he is always content when
spending time with his man. If you asked
Ryan if his boyfriend is ever competitive, he'd tell you only when playing any
game. He'll even compete when they shoot
hoops. This side of him hasn't been
there since the attack, but it's there now the other guys in his life couldn't
be happier about. The important thing
here is that the guys are having fun together.
***
Before
speaking with Caden, Ryan calls his mom to get permission to spend the
night. He might need to convince his
mom. He gets out his phone and calls his
mom.
"Ryan, is
everything okay?"
She's asking
because she knew that Ryan was planning on staying later.
"Mom, you might
say no, but Riley asked me to spend the night with him. Is that okay?"
She is quiet
for a second as she thinks it over. Not
all parents would be okay with their son spending the night with their
boyfriend, but she trusts Ryan to do the right thing.
"You need
permission from Caden and Jared, and you can tell them I'm okay with you
spending the night. Be careful and be
kind!"
Ryan is a
little shocked, to be honest. He didn't
think that his mom would say yes. He
ends the call with a goodbye and "I love you."
Now there is only one thing to do: speak with Caden and Jared. He's kind of sweating a bit.
"I need to
get permission from your brother and Jared."
Riley can
see his boyfriend's nervousness. He leans
in, kisses him, and tells him he'll be okay. Then he says this:
"He...he
won't...kill you."
He said that
with a smile, but Ryan was not impressed with the joke, but he did get up and took
a deep breath.
"Guess I'll
head downstairs."
Riley won't
let him go downstairs to face Caden and Jared alone. He knows there has been a time when Ryan
has felt intimidated by Caden. Most of
the time, though, Caden and Jared are big brothers to Ryan. Riley and Ryan head downstairs to see the
older guys. They sit down on the couch
across from them. It takes them a second
for the guys to say anything to the teens.
"Do you guys
want something?"
Jared asks
both Caden and Jared. Riley bumps Ryan's
elbow.
"Riley asked
me to see if I wanted to spend the night?
I didn't want to be disrespectful and just stay."
Jared and
Caden look at each other and quietly discuss it. Caden's attention shifted from Jared to Ryan.
"Did you
already ask your mom?"
Riley hasn't
said anything at all. He's just staring
at his brother. He's completely ignoring
Jared.
"Yeah, she
said yes, but I had to ask you and Jared."
Ryan asks
his "brother." Caden looks at his
boyfriend, who nods his head. Like Ryan's
mom knows, Jared knows that Ryan can be trusted. His vote is yes.
"I don't
care, BUT you guys have to behave."
Riley smiles
and hugs his boyfriend. Then he gets up
and hugs his brother and Jared.
"Thank you!"
The fact
that it came out that clear was terrific.
"You're
welcome, Riley."
Caden says
as he gets up to figure out dinner. Ryan
is busy texting his mom. He gets up quietly and goes into the kitchen to say
thanks to Caden, but he also has questions about Riley that he wants answers
to.
***
As Caden is
looking at the recipe for tonight's dinner, Ryan walks into the room.
"Hey Ryan, I
thought you and Riley would head back upstairs?"
Ryan really
wants his questions answered, and this is his chance. Ryan takes a deep breath and crosses his fingers
that Caden won't change his mind about him.
"I have some
questions about Riley."
Caden is
taken aback by Ryan's statement. As his brother's boyfriend, he figured by now
that Ryan wouldn't have that many questions that hadn't been answered already.
"So I preface this conversation by asking you to not hit me."
Caden smiles
and pats Ryan him on the back. He smiles
at his son's boyfriend.
"Caden, can
we talk for a minute or two?"
Caden is a
bit confused. He thought they were going
to be talking already.
"Um...sure,
but don't you think Riley might miss you?"
Caden asks
Ryan because he knows his brother and knows he'll want to see Ryan. Ryan knows that Riley will surely miss him,
but he's hoping that Jared will keep him busy.
"He might,
but this is important, so I'll figure this out if he interrupts."
Ryan
immediately texts Jared asking him to keep Riley out of the kitchen.
"First off,
this whole spending-the-night thing was Riley's idea, not mine."
If you could
see Ryan, you would know he was extremely nervous. Ryan worries that something will happen
tonight, and then everything will be over between Riley and him. Caden wants to smile at Ryan to lighten the
mood; instead, he keeps a serious face.
"First off,
I'm not surprised that he asked you.
He's brought it up before, and then he forgot about it, so we let it go
too. Second, you to relax. We figured it was only a matter of time
before Riley asked you about spending the night."
Even though
Caden said to relax, Ryan is anything but relaxed. He's extremely nervous.
"I didn't
want...I guess...does he talk about stuff with you and Jared?"
Caden isn't
sure exactly what "stuff" Ryan is referring to.
Then it dons on him, "stuff" may be sex-related, but he wants to confirm
it and not just assume it.
"You mean
anything sex-related?"
Caden's
question makes Ryan blush a little it.
"Well yeah,
or about puberty?"
Caden stops
to think over the question. He can't
remember if Riley has ever asked about anything sexual or puberty related.
"No, I don't
remember anything. Why would you ask such a question?"
Ryan is
surprised by Caden's question. He
actually expected Riley to have asked something about sex.
"Well, I'm
pretty sure there are times when he's gotten a boner around me."
Caden
chuckles a bit at Ryan's choice of words.
It makes him sound like a 13-year-old.
"Okay, look,
he's a guy and a gay guy at that. Don't
get all weird when I say this, but he must think that you are pretty hot;
otherwise, he wouldn't hang out with you.
We know he gets excited around you; quite frankly, it's not a huge
deal. We also know you are a 17-year-old
guy, so just be careful with him."
Ryan is a
bit shocked at how relaxed Caden is about this.
"Are you
giving us permission to...?"
Caden
chuckles a bit at the teen's words.
"Ryan, I was
your age not too long ago and was already sexually active. I'm not saying that I want you to have sex
with my brother, but I know it's a possibility.
Are we going to beat you up or make it so you can't Riley again if you
do anything with Riley? No, but we do expect you to be careful with him."
Caden is
trying to be honest with and open with Ryan.
"I don't
know what will happen tonight, but to be honest, I'm nervous."
Ryan is
scared that he'll hurt Ryan or that he'll do something that scares Riley that
just won't do.
"Ryan, this
is none of my business but are you sexually active?"
Again Ryan
is shocked, Caden. It might be that
Ryan's parents aren't that open with him.
"No, I'm not,
and I would never do something to hurt Riley. That being said, I do, um...jerk
off, and I've had some jerk-off sessions with friends."
He feels
good getting that out in the open for whatever reason.
"You're a
good guy Ryan."
Caden pats
him on the back.
"Thanks,
Caden, My parents have tried talking to me about sex,
but they were trying to talk to me about sex with a woman, and it didn't work
out too well. If it's okay with my
parents, could you and Jared give me the "sex talk" but the gay version?"
Caden is
actually touched by Ryan's request. It
shows the degree of trust that Ryan has in Caden and Jared.
"Ryan, I
don't even know what to say to that. Go
back to Riley."
This is
something that Caden needs to discuss with Jared. He doesn't mind doing it, but he needs Ryan's
parent's permission in writing. He
doesn't want them to come back after the fact with "we didn't give you
permission," but at the same time, he really likes Ryan's parents. Ryan gives Caden a hug and then goes back to
Riley. Ryan and Riley spend most of the
day hanging out, sometimes outside and sometimes upstairs.
***
Around 4:00
pm, Caden and Jared start thinking about dinner. They were going to do pizza from one of the
restaurants in the area, but then they remembered that they have a crust that
they can prepare, and they have all the toppings to do at least three
pizzas. Caden and Jared get going on the
crusts.
"You know,
Ryan and I were talking earlier today?"
Jared nods
his head.
"So, what
did you guys talk about?"
Caden's man
asks out of curiosity.
"Sex and the
fact that they will be having a sleepover tonight."
Jared's jaw
dropped a little bit. He doesn't know
what to think of Caden's words.
"Caden, are
you serious?"
Caden nods
and moves with more words shared between him and his brother's boyfriend. He's hoping Jared will share some of his own
thoughts as they talk about his talk with Ryan.
"Yeah, I am
dead serious. I discovered this was my
brother's idea, which shouldn't shock you since Riley asks us about it at least
4 or 100 times a week. Usually, he gets
about it, but this time he got Ryan with it.
Ryan doesn't want to say no to Riley and disappoint him, so he called
his mom and then spoke with us."
Jared
chuckles over the whole Riley asking Ryan first and then having Ryan asking
them instead of him. It almost seems
planned out, but more than likely, it was a random request from his favorite
teen. Caden takes a deep breath and then
starts talking more about the talk.
"So then he asked me if Riley has ever talked to us about sex
or puberty, and you know, I don't think it's ever come up with him. We have
discussed the possibility of happening between Ryan and Riley, but I didn't
tell Ryan any of that. He told me that
he thinks Riley has had boners when he's around Ryan."
Jared gives
Caden a shocked look. He knows for a fact that Caden's brother sometimes gets
erections when
"I am
actually a little surprised by this one.
It happens; I'm sure there have been times when Caden Jr has stood at
attention around me."
Caden just
grabs himself, pretending to check for a hard-on. Jared just smiles.
"Babe, I
know my brother gets erections, but I don't know if he masturbates, and
honestly, I don't want to know. I just
assume that he does. So
before Riley, Ryan was having sex. Since
he's been with Riley, he's had zero sex.
Granted, he does jerk off. I
think that is amazing, to be honest."
Jared knows
that Ryan is a good guy from what he can see; Ryan would do anything for
Riley. He's the kind of guy who would
give the world to Riley.
"Babe, Let's
trust Ryan to behave himself and go from there."
Jared tells
his love as he pats him on the back.
"I told him
he needed to be careful with our little brother. I told him that I was very aware of what goes
on in a young guy's mind."
It sounds
about right to Jared. Ryan and Riley will
be okay, and both Caden and Jared know this. All you have to do is meet Ryan to
see that he is a good guy. The crust is
baking, the sauce is out and in a bowl with a ladle, and all the toppings are
ready to be put on the pizza. They call
the boys down to make the pizzas, and they have a blast making them and getting
them cooked. It was more about being
together and enjoying each other's company.
***
After
dinner, the guys clean up the mess, put away leftovers, and then watch a movie
or two. Ryan and Riley escape upstairs
to get Riley ready for bed. Ryan reads
Riley's skateboarding magazine with him.
Caden shows up to make sure that everything is okay. He sees Ryan and Riley sitting on the bed
reading together. There are words that
Riley still struggles with, but Ryan is patient and helps Riley pronounce the
words. When Ryan can see that Riley is
done, he suggests another activity, and when Riley shows interest in working on
the puzzle, Ryan closes the magazine.
Caden steps away and returns to whatever he was doing. It feels good to see Ryan treating his
brother with respect and kindness.
Sometimes, they act like they've been together for years. Caden doesn't see it, but Ryan and Riley
share a kiss that is nothing but a peck meant to let Riley know that Ryan loves
him and nothing more. Ryan and Riley get
ready for bed, and in another room, Caden and Riley are doing the same thing in
the house.
***
Ryan lets
Riley go about his morning routine in the morning, only stepping in if Riley
asks. Then they head downstairs, where
breakfast is being made. Ryan and Riley
help set the table together.
`I was
worried for nothing. This; this just
feels so natural.'
Ryan thinks
to himself as he watches Riley move around the table, setting down the forks at
each chair. Ryan listens to the
compliments the guys are giving Riley and feels good. They encourage him instead of knocking him
down. He's allowed to make mistakes, and
when he does, Caden or Jared carefully help him fix any errors. Ryan is learning by watching Caden and
Jared. Not just in how to handle himself
around Riley to better support his boyfriend, but also so that he can be a
better boyfriend. During breakfast, Ryan feels his phone vibrate, but he
ignores it. It's a rule in this
household to not have devices at the table, and Ryan likes that rule. It forces you to talk, but the fantastic
thing is that none of the conversations feel forced, which is terrific. They plan the day and even discuss a
graduation party for Ryan. Even though
he tried to do his best to let them know that they don't need to, they still
insist on doing it, so he will enjoy it when it happens.
***
Caden checks
in with the center, and Jared spends a few hours working. When Jared comes out of his office, he pulls
Caden to the side.
"Want to
have a friendly volleyball game just us and Ryan and Riley?"
Caden knows
that Ryan and Riley have been working on Riley's sports skills.
"Sure,
Babe!"
Caden gets
up and goes upstairs to get the teens.
"Guys, volleyball
in the backyard NOW!"
The two
teens get up and head downstairs with the guys.
They head outdoors and enjoy the warm sun and the opportunity to be
active. Riley serves the ball by
throwing it over the net. The way his
gym teacher has him do it. In the end,
there were no winners, just four guys who more then likely need a shower. From here, they get drinks, and then it's off
to go hiking at the nearby county park.
