Dan and I stood there, stark naked, holding each other in the shower when someone knocked on the bathroom door. The person knocked again, but didn't say anything. Finally I made the first move towards the door, nervous as all hell, Dan hid in the shower behind the curtain. I wrapped a towel around my naked body, and opened the door slowly. In front of me, I saw Kevin. I sort of breathed a sigh of relief, but stepped out of the bathroom. "Hey man, I know you were in the shower and all, but you left your passport in my bag, from the plane." Kevin said, handing me my passport. I op "Fuck, I never realized I had misplaced it, thanks dude." I said. "But how the hell did you get in here?" I asked quizzically. "You actually left the door open a little bit." he said smiling as he turned to leave, but then stopped. "Wait, if you were in the shower, where's Dan?" Kevin asked. "Uhhh, he went downstairs...for a soda..." I said quickly. Kevin looked at me in a funny look. "They have soda downstairs?" he asked. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure they do." I said trying to get him out of there. "Okay, whatever, see you guys in 20 minutes." he said. After he left, I breathed the biggest sigh of relief ever. I dead-bolted the door, and leaned there for a second. Then I remembered Dan was still in the shower room. I opened the door and walked back into the shower, and dropped my towel. My dick had gone limp since our little scare with Kevin. I looked at Dan, and smiled. "It was just Kevin giving me back my passport." I said. "Oh, I was nervous it was someone else" he said. I just laughed a little, and kissed him. I wrapped my arms around him, and pulled him closer, he turned me around, and washed my back and rubbed my shoulders. We finally decided that it was time to get out of the shower, before we missed the walking tour. We got out of the bathroom, and went to our suitcases and got dressed. I put on my favorite pair of plaid boxers, and Dan put on some boxer briefs. Then I put on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. He wore the same. After we were dressed, we went down to our meeting place and waited for everyone else. As we expected Mr. Hinkle and Mrs. Hinkle were last, we all figured that they were fucking. So Kevin handed me a five-pound note. "Why are you giving him that?" Mr. Hinkle asked Kevin. Trying not to laugh, Kevin said, "I owed him." "Remember to keep track of your money folks, it goes fast" Mr. Hinkle reminded us as we walked out of the hotel lobby. Lynn gave us each a tube pass, or the subway, and we left. We took the tube from Hammersmith to Picadilly Circus first, she showed us the plaza, and the theater district, and told us that we would be going to a show later in the week. Dan and I each snapped probably a roll of film in Picadilly alone. We took the tube to the stop closest to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. Again, we each probably snapped about two rolls of film. As we walked by Westminster Abbey, there was a Gay Rights rally going on. Mr. Hinkle just told us to keep walking, but something caught Dan's eye, and he stopped for a second. We were across the street from it, and he stopped on the sidewalk. I stopped with him, admiring the spectacle for a second. As I was about to tell him that we should keep going, I noticed something in his eye. It was a tear. I then realized exactly the magnitude of what Dan had been through. I gave him a quick hug and told him that we should keep going. Dan quickly wiped his tears from his eyes, and we hurried to catch up with the rest of the group. It was about one-o'clock in the afternoon, and Lynn stopped us so that we could go souvenir shopping, and get some lunch. Sarah, Kevin, Dan and I found a little cafe in Leicester Square. We were told to meet back at Picadilly Circus for three thirty. We were eating lunch when Dan got a big sigh on his face. I leaned over and asked him what was wrong, and he said he wanted to talk about it outside. So we said that we would be right back, and walked outside. "What's the matter?" I asked Dan. "I've been thinking, about the gay rights rally we saw earlier." he said. "You're right Ben, I need to be proud of who I am, and not hide it." he said with tears welling up in his eyes again. "What are you saying Dan?" I asked. "I think I need to come out and be who I am." he said. "Whoa, do you think you're ready for that? I mean you need to be who you are, but don't rush it, wait until you feel totally comfortable with it." I said. "Yeah, I guess you're right, I'm not totally ready to face the criticism again, but I need to be who I am, I need to talk to someone." he said. "You have me Dan, you know that, I will always be here for you." I said reassuringly. Dan gave me a quick hug, and we went back into the cafe to finish lunch. After that, we walked around Leicester Square for a little bit, and did some shopping. I bought a tea set for my mom, and a few postcards to send home. Dan, Sarah, and Kevin I think all bought T-shirts. After we did our shopping it was only two o'clock and we decided to try and find a Starbucks, to get a cafe mocha frappucino. We walked around a little bit more, just taking in the sights of London, and then it was time to hop two stops on the tube and meat back at Picadilly Circus. We were the first ones to meet Lynn back in the tube station. Slowly other groups of people came in, and last of all were Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle. Kevin handed me another 5 Pound note. I just laughed because I knew what it meant. See, on the plane, while we were in the air, Dan and I made a bet at how many times the Hinkles would be late, so I bet every time we met. It's looking like I'm going to get rich off of Kevin. Anyway, our tour group rode the tube back to the hotel lobby to pick up a bus. We all got on the bus again, still some people were trying to get on the wrong side, making us laugh at them. We all boarded, and were counted, and then our Bus was off. Of course Dan and I sat next to each other. The bus drove around the city, over the Tower Bridge, and into the inner city. We saw the Tower of London, and drove by other sights. Dan and I weren't really paying any attention though. I think we were both deep in thought about what happened today. I was thinking about this boy, to my left, who was so vulnerable, and innocent, and who had suffered a really traumatic experience at his last school. I tried and put myself into his shoes, and realized that he is such a strong boy. I probably would have killed myself if I was in his position. All I could think about is that Dan was a boy I needed to admire, and look up to, and love. While I was looking out the window, I gave his thigh a squeeze, and when he looked at me, I just gave him the "I love you and care about you" look. he smiled and did the same to me. Before we knew it, it was time for dinner. We stopped outside a small little pub on a corner. Lynn told us to all empty the bus and follow her, she reminded us that the drinking age was eighteen. Mr. Hinkle reminded us that if we were eighteen to drink responsibly, and not do anything that you might regret. We went into the restaurant and sat down, I was seated across from Dan, and next to Kevin. I decided that I would risk it, and try and order a beer. Dan, Kevin and Sarah all ordered one too. The waitress never carded us at all. The dinner was arranged through the Tour Company, so everyone got the same dinner. It was famous English fish and chips. The fish was pretty dry, and the chips were pretty soggy. Not the best dinner we've ever had, but hey, it was food. Dan and I played footsie all through dinner. We mostly smiled at each other during dinner. After we ate, we had an option to go back to the hotel, and hang out, or to go shopping with Mrs. Hinkle in Covent Garden. Dan and I chose to go back to the hotel. I handed Kevin a five-pound note, because I had bet that the Hinkles wouldn't split up, but I told him I would get ten times that back in the week. He just laughed. Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle just looked at us with the, "What the fuck are they doing?" look. Kevin and I just looked at each other and laughed. Sarah and Kevin came back to the hotel with Dan and I. When we got back to the hotel, Dan and I hurried to our room. When we got there, we closed the door. Once in the room, we looked at each other and smiled. I took a step towards Dan, and wrapped my arms around his waist. I kissed him for about five minutes. I couldn't believe it, I was standing in the middle of a hotel room, in the most beautiful, historic city in the world, making out with the hottest guy I had ever seen, who I think I was falling in love with. It was a perfect setting. I finally broke our kiss and removed Dan's shirt, revealing his smooth, skinny, six-pack chest. I kissed his nipples, and caressed his back. He rubbed my neck, and kissed my head, and held me in his beautiful arms. Dan removed my shirt, and did the same, he kissed my chest, and nipples, and rubbed my back. Finally, I moved slightly away again, and unbuttoned Dan's shorts. I let his shorts fall to the ground, and he was standing in the middle of our room in his white Calvin Klein boxer briefs, he was obviously tenting wood, making me even harder. Dan unbuttoned my shorts, and slid them down, revealing me in my boxers and my dick tenting as well. We both took off our underwear standing naked in our room, making out still. We moved over to the bed, and lied down, still making out. Dan was on top of me, caressing me as we made out. I was massaging his ass, and kissing his neck. Dan slowly moved down my slender body, kissing every inch of it, my neck, chest, stomach, until he reached my groin area. I had trimmed my pubes earlier in the week, so they were pretty much nice and neat. Dan took my dick, and fondled it in his hand, and rubbed my balls between his fingers. Finally, he was about to go down and start sucking on it when Dan and I got the shock of our lives. The door swung open and Kevin walked into the room. "Hey guys were going to ord....What the fuck?" Kevin said as he walked into our room seeing Dan and I in a compromising position. Dan got up and ran past him into the bathroom. Still startled I covered myself with a throw blanket. "Uhhh, Hi." I said looking at Kevin not knowing what I was going to say to get out of this one. "What the fuck were you two doing?" He said. "Could you close the door first?" I asked. Kevin closed the door. "Why don't you have a seat, so I can explain." I said, while I got up and put my boxers on. "Okay fine" he said, as he sat on the side of the bed where just second earlier Dan and I were getting ready to make love. "Kevin, what you saw just now, can't ever be told to anyone. Promise?" I asked. "Sure man, you can trust Me." he said "Kevin, first of all, I...I'm gay, or bi...I have been ever since I broke up with Connie (my ex-girlfriend). Dan moved to town, and we got to talking. It turns out that he was openly gay at his old school, and well, he was always made fun of, and he always got his ass kicked, his teachers would intentionally fail him, and make fun of him." I said bluntly. "Holy Shit" Kevin said sounding shocked. "Yeah, and well, he moved here to get away from that, his parents knew, and well, they wanted him to have at least a normal, stress free Senior year. When we got in here earlier, Dan just broke down, and told me his story. I told him mine, and well, were kind of in the same shoes, about being gay and too scared to come out. So you can't under any circumstances tell anyone about us." I said. "And well, we were just experimenting now, and well, I forgot to dead-bolt the door again." I admitted shyly again. "Yeah." Kevin said looking down at his shoes. I heard a sniffle from the bathroom, and realized that Dan was probably all fucked up. I went over to the room door, and first of all dead bolted it, so we had no more visitors, and I told Kevin to sit tight. I walked over to the bathroom door, and knocked on it. "Dan, its okay, you can come out. Kevin's cool with us." I said. I just heard more sniffling. "At least let me in so we can talk." I asked trying to reason with him. I heard Dan get up and unlock the door, I looked at Kevin and mouthed "I'll be right back". I went into the bathroom and saw Dan sitting curled up in a ball on the bathroom floor. I closed the door again, and locked it. I sat down next to him, and put my arm around him, and held his head in my lap. "Look Dan, you said it yourself earlier today, that you wanted to come out. Kevin is okay with the fact that we're gay and gay together. He swore that he wouldn't tell anyone at all about us. You know I love you and care about you. Dan, you're still safe, just one more person knows about us. Come on out and let's talk together. It won't get any worse, I promise." Dan shook his head yes, and I helped him up off the floor. I grabbed a towel off of the rack, because I figured Dan would want to be covered up, as to not be anymore embarrassed. I unlocked the door, and stepped down out of the bathroom with Dan. Kevin was still sitting on our bed, with his head down to the floor. He was obviously depressed about something. Suddenly Kevin looked up and said, "Guys, I think you had better know something." Dan and I just looked at each other in puzzlement. -------------------------------------- The next chapter will be published shortly. Comments?
