Matt and Jon
Chapter Fourteen

Reunions

The day of the parade was Matt’s 15th birthday. He was in a great mood as he pulled on his running shorts and sneaks and ran off to meet Jon at the path. They had both slept at their respective houses that night for a change, and Matt couldn’t wait to see his boyfriend. He wondered in the back of his mind if the feeling of anticipation at seeing Jon would ever wear off. He doubted it as he pictured Jon’s smiling face.

He hadn’t told Jon about his birthday because he didn’t want him to make a fuss. The parade was something they were both looking forward to, and Matt didn’t want to make it about him. There’d be time to celebrate later. He realized that he didn’t know Jon’s birthday either, and made a mental note to ask him.

When Matt arrived, he saw Jon’s bike already chained to the lamp post. He thought it was odd that he hadn’t waited for him. He went down to the path and still didn’t see him. It wasn’t like Jon to start without him and Matt was getting a little worried when he heard a rustling in the bushes.

“Matt, over here!” He heard Jon whisper excitedly.

He walked toward the sound of Jon’s voice, and after pushing some branches aside, he found Jon in a small secluded clearing surrounded by dense bushes and leaves. Matt’s jaw practically hit the ground when he saw that Jon was stark naked.

“Jon! What the hell…”

“I’m wearing my birthday suit in honor of your birthday!” Jon said, wearing nothing but a smile.

“You’re nuts, you know that? How did you know anyway?”

“It’s your screen name, you big dope! How come you didn’t say anything?”

“I was excited about the parade, and I didn’t want you to make a big deal about it.”

“Oh, in that case, I’ll just get dressed…”

His words were smothered by Matt’s lips as he kicked off his sneakers. Jon broke the embrace and tugged Matt’s t-shirt over his head while Matt dropped his shorts and stepped out of them. Jon practically ripped Matt’s briefs off and began fondling him. He held both of their penises together and stroked them at the same time, causing Matt to moan with pleasure. Jon stopped stroking and told Matt to keep it down as he sank to his knees and took Matt’s butt cheeks in his hands. It felt great to be naked outside, with the soft breeze caressing their bodies.

“Uh, Jon, I haven’t showered yet.”

“You should know by now that I don’t care about that.” Jon answered as he sank down on Matt’s shaft and began humming Happy Birthday.

Matt played with his hair. “Okay, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Matt never really smelled bad, but he always felt a little self conscious if he wasn’t totally fresh. He needn’t have worried. The light teen male scent emanating from his crotch was driving Jon wild. After awhile, Jon stood up and took Matt by the hand. He led him over to a fallen tree where he’d spread a blanket over the rough bark. Jon bent over the tree and spread his legs apart.

“Happy birthday, baby.” He said as he offered himself to the one he loved.

Matt wasted no time stepping between Jon’s legs. He found that Jon had already lubed and loosened himself up, so he slipped easily into his lover’s body and began to gyrate his hips. Jon humped back on him, meeting him stroke for stroke. Matt lowered himself over Jon and began kissing his neck. When he felt like he was getting close, he straightened up and held on to Jon’s hips. He knew that Jon liked to be fucked hard, and he gave it all he had, repeatedly thrusting in as far as he could until Jon was battering back into him, matching his intensity. It was all they could do to stay silent as Matt emptied his load into Jon. After he finished shooting, his slightly softening cock popped out and he turned Jon over. He spit in his hand and masturbated him frantically to a mind blowing orgasm. His sperm was flying everywhere, all over both boys. They even got some in their hair.

After they’d cleaned up and dressed, they sat on the log and shared a birthday kiss. When it ended, Matt took Jon’s face in his hands and just studied him for awhile. He wanted to memorize every single feature.

“Jon, I love you so much. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Someday, somehow, when we’re old enough…what I mean is…will you marry me?”

“You know I will!” Jon responded with tears streaming down his face as he pulled Matt into a loving embrace.

“So it’s official,” Matt whispered, “we’re engaged.”

They hugged and kissed for quite awhile. Neither one of them felt like running, so they went back to Jon’s house to have breakfast. When they walked into the kitchen, Sam was already at the table. He looked up from his paper and greeted them.

“How was your run?” He took in the two boys standing there holding hands and gave them a cockeyed grin. “What’s with you guys, you look like you smoked a joint or something.”

“Matt’s not my boyfriend anymore.” Jon said with a dopey grin on his face.

“What? You…you didn’t break up did you?” Sam stammered incredulously.

“Matt asked me to marry him, and I said ‘yes.’ He’s my fiancé now.” He squeezed Matt’s hand and smiled lovingly at him.

Sam came over and hugged the two of them in his powerful arms.

“I knew you’d always be together. I’m so happy for you. Who thought my kid brother would get engaged before me.”

Matt kissed them both on the cheek. “It won’t be for awhile yet, but I really wanted to make the commitment. I love your brother very much, Sam. I didn’t want to chance losing him to some stud.”

The three of them laughed and Jon and Sam grabbed Matt and started tickling him in the rib cage until he panted, “Stop, stop…can’t…breath!”

They let him catch his breath. “Wouldn’t want to kill my future brother-in-law!” Sam laughed.

The boys showered and changed to go to the city. They were really excited about the parade. Especially since they felt more like a couple now. Sam drove them to the station and made sure they got their tickets and headed for the right train.

“Sam, we’re not babies, you know. I think we can manage a train trip okay.” Jon said, a little indignantly.

Sam laughed. “Okay, okay. I’ll get out of your hair. I was only trying to help.”

“I know Sam. I love you.” Jon said as he stepped into the train.

“I love you too, Jonny. Both of you! Be careful!” Sam called after them as the doors began to close.

They found seats and a discarded copy of the Village Voice. There was a lot about the parade, and they read it with interest. The trip flew by, and soon the train arrived in Penn Station. The boys ran up the stairs from the platform to find Jim and Adam in the waiting room, as they had arranged on the phone. The men were delighted to see them, and hugged them warmly.

“Thank you so much for taking us. Our parents never would have let us come without adults they trust.” Matt said sincerely.

“We’re honored that your parents trust us. Your dad told us that you came out to them that night after the barbeque, and we were so proud that they used us as an example of their acceptance. Bill and I talked that day, and they suspected but weren’t sure. I could tell a mile away, of course. I know true love when I see it.” Jim said with a wink.

Matt looked at Jon questioningly. Jon smiled back at him and nodded his approval.

“Jim, Adam. Sam is the only other person we’ve told yet, but this morning I asked Jon to marry me, and he said ‘yes!’”

The four of them drew a few stares from some of the passengers as Adam let out a shriek and they all took turns hugging each other. Amidst all the commotion, Stuart and Tom emerged from the crowd.

“Hey guys! What are we celebrating?” Stuart beamed at them and was almost knocked over by the two excited boys who grabbed him into a hug. They hugged Tom as well, and Jon made the introductions. When the four men had shaken hands, Jon filled Stuart and Tom in on their news.

“Wow! That’s great! We’re so happy for you!” Tom said, hugging the boys again.

“When’s the big day?” Stuart asked them.

“We haven’t discussed the details yet, and I guess we’ll have to wait until we’re old enough. I hope New York changes its laws by then, but if not we can go to Massachusetts.” Matt answered.

The two older couples hit it off right away. They were all in agreement that the best place to take the boys to see the parade was downtown near the end of the route. They headed for the subway with Jim and Adam leading the way, the boys in the middle and Tom and Stuart bringing up the rear. The train was crowded with people going to the parade and it was like a party atmosphere. Some were wearing pride t-shirts and others had rainbow flags and pins. There was a lesbian couple wearing leather jackets and one man in drag with a long bleached blond wig. Matt didn’t mean to stare, but he was fascinated with the make up and long dangling earrings.

“What’re staring at, honey? Like what you see?” She said with a wink.

Matt turned crimson. “S-sorry ma’am, I mean sir…I, I. like your earrings!”

She gave a laugh that started out in falsetto and ended up in the baritone range. “Relax honey, you can call me Wanda.” She blew him a kiss.

“I think you’re very pretty.” Matt said, grinning at her.

“Oooo! You’re pretty hot yourself!”

Jon laughed and put an arm around Matt. “That’s my fiancé you’re talking to, madam!” He said with mock indignation.

Wanda’s expression softened and she put a hand on each boy’s shoulder. “I wish you all the happiness in the world.” She said, as a tear formed in her eye. “You make a beautiful couple.”

“Thanks Wanda, it was nice meeting you!” Matt told her as the train pulled into the station.

The boys bounded up the stairs with four adults panting behind them, trying to keep up. Jim swore that he wouldn’t let them out of his sight for an instant, but that was proving to be a hard task. When they reached street level, the festivities were in full swing. Matt wandered over to a table where they were selling t-shirts that had the rainbow insignia and the word “PRIDE” printed across the front. He fingered them longingly and reached into his pocket. Jon grabbed his arm.

“Matt, let me.” He said, fishing his wallet out of his pocket with his other hand.

Jim caught up to them just as Jon was about to buy a shirt for each of them. “Put your money away, Jon. This day is on us.”

“Jim, we can’t let you do that. It’s so nice of you to take us as it is…”

Jim held up his hand. “Consider it an engagement present. I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer!”

He had his wallet out and was paying the vendor before the boys had a chance to argue. The boys were thrilled with the shirts and thanked Jim and Adam. They stripped off the t-shirts they had been wearing and put on the new ones. Wearing the shirts was symbolic to them of being out in public, and it was a liberating feeling for them. Now they felt like they were really a part of everything.

The parade was a great experience. It was outrageous, flamboyant, moving, and dignified all at the same time. Best of all, it was a really good feeling to feel normal. They knew they were among friends.

Matt was particularly interested in a float manned by a group called “Stonewall Survivors.” Jim explained that it was about the Stonewall Riots of 1969 when patrons of gay bars were singled out and harassed and arrested by the police based on an old law that was still on the books about unlawful gathering. He told them about the violence that ensued when the gay patrons resisted. As they walked to the subway, he pointed out the Stonewall Bar, which occupies the site of the original Stonewall Inn. Matt thought he might just have a topic for his next social studies paper.

They all rode the subway back to Penn Station and got off at the right stop.

“You don’t have to follow us, we’ll be fine to get on the train from here.” Matt told the concerned adults.

“No, we know you can handle the trip, but Bill and Ann asked us out to dinner, so we’re going to ride with you.”

“Cool!” Was Matt’s answer.

“We’re coming with you too,” Stuart added, “We’re going to stay with my sister this weekend.”

The six of them waited until it was time to board, and then they leisurely found seats on the train. The boys decided it would be wise to change back into their original shirts before going home just in case there was anyone from school around when they got back to town. When they arrived at the station, they were happy to see Bill with the minivan waiting for them.

Bill offered Stuart and Tom a ride, and insisted they stop by for a drink before dinner. They pulled into the driveway, and Matt was the first one to the door. He really needed to use the bathroom. He almost wet his pants on the spot when he opened the door to a loud chorus.

“SURPRISE!!!”

Matt practically fainted from the shock. The Kents were there, as well as his whole gang of friends. As he looked at all the beaming faces, he felt a tear well up in his eye. There was Chet, and Pastor Margaret. Glen and Roy clapped him on the shoulders and wished him a happy birthday. Sam and Sarah were there, along with Gary. Miss Selwitz greeted him warmly. Jon was standing behind him when he turned around.

“You knew about this didn’t you! I’ll get you later!”

Jon hugged him and whispered in his ear. “I’m counting on it!”

Matt excused himself and ran to the bathroom before he really did have an accident. When he returned, the party was getting underway nicely. Everyone was mingling and enjoying the food and drink that Bill and Ann had provided for the occasion. Matt was overwhelmed with the number of people who had turned out for his birthday. He hugged each one of them and thanked them for coming.

“We have another surprise for you.” Shelley said as she and Ann stood in the dining room doorway. When they had everyone’s attention, they stepped aside to reveal Ryan and LittleTom standing behind them.

The boys launched themselves at each other and jumped up and down while grabbing each other. Shelley explained that her brother thought it was a good idea for them to spend a few days together before school started, so he’d sent them on a train from D.C. They had a great time introducing them to all of their friends. The smile on Matt’s face was priceless. He couldn’t believe this was all for him. He finally calmed down enough to eat. Trevor was already working on his third plate of cocktail franks. Stacey frowned at him.

“I don’t know where he puts it all! If I ate like him I’d be huge.”

Jon munched a celery stick. “Yeah, it’s so not fair!”

Trevor shrugged and grinned around a mouthful of food. “Some guys have all the luck.” He said, putting an arm around Stacey.

Jon put his arm around Matt. “Well, not ALL the luck!”

They all laughed until Jon noticed the look on Ryan’s face. He quickly withdrew his arm and changed the subject.

“The parade was so cool. Some of the floats were really funny. There was one with guys dressed up like the Village People. It was awesome.”

“Yeah,” Matt took over, “and I met my first drag queen! Her name is Wanda!”

“Trans gendered person!” Jon said, giving Matt a playful punch on the arm.

“Oh, sorry…didn’t mean to be un p.c. She was really nice!”

Since Matt was the guest of honor, he felt he should mingle with the other guests. As he worked the room, Jon took Ryan aside, leaving the girls to fawn over LittleTom, who seemed to be enjoying the attention.

“Ry, are you okay?” He asked his cousin.

“Yeah, why?”

“I noticed the look you gave me when I put my arm around Matt. You’re not jealous, are you?”

Ryan blushed. “Was it that obvious? I guess envious would be a better word. There’s no one around where I live that…that…seems interested.”

Jon put his arm on his cousin’s shoulder. “Don’t worry Ry. School will be starting soon. There’s bound to be other guys in your class like us. It’s just not easy to tell sometimes. You have to take a chance with people you trust.”

“Jonny, so long as I’m being honest, I’d better tell you that I think I have a crush on your boyfriend. I didn’t mean to, it just happened. I know it’s my problem, and I never want it to come between us. Ever since I met him, I can’t get him out of my mind. I daydream about kissing him. I even think of him when I…uh, you know.”

“It’s okay Ry. You’ll find someone special. I know it. In the meantime, you have my permission to uh…think about Matt. Not that you need it, but if it makes you feel any better, it’s cool with me. I know how special he is, and he loves you very much as a friend.”

Ryan smiled weakly. “Thanks Jonny. I feel better now that I told you. You probably knew anyway, but I had to get it off my chest.”

The two of them returned to the party just as Glen sat down at the piano. He rolled a chord in preparation, then grimaced. “When was the last time this thing was tuned?” He asked of no one in particular, causing the crowd to laugh, then he shrugged and plunged into a stirring version of “Happy Birthday.” Matt blushed furiously as his mom brought out the biggest cake he’d ever seen. She set it down on the coffee table. Matt looked at it and all he could say was “Wow!”

Ann kissed him on the cheek. “Shelley and I made it ourselves.”

“Don’t just stand there like a doofus, blow out the candles!” Andy yelled.

Matt closed his eyes and made a wish. Then he blew the candles out and everyone cheered.

“What did you wish for?” Marla asked.

“If I tell you it won’t come true.” Matt laughed.

“I’ll bet I can guess anyway!” Marla shot back.

Matt blushed as Ann and Shelley took the cake into the dining room and began slicing it up. Matt and Jon helped distribute the pieces to everyone. After the cake, Bill and Dan brought out the presents. Matt was so overwhelmed, he couldn’t speak.

He opened an envelope from Dan and Shelley to find a gift certificate to the local CD store. It was very generous. He hugged them both and thanked them. The gang all chipped in and got him a gift card for The Gap.

“We figured if we pooled our money we could get you something really good.” Trevor said as Matt hugged him.

“Lord knows you could use some new clothes!” Marla added with delight.

Next came a dress shirt from Glen and Roy with a note that said “something to wear for church!” and it had some musical notes scribbled on it. Pastor Margaret got him his own copy of the United Methodist Hymnal with his name on the front in gold letters. Inside was the inscription: To Matt, June 21st, 2005. May you always have a song in your heart. Love, Pastor Margaret Psalm 146:2.

“Thanks Pastor Margaret. It’s beautiful. I can’t wait to break it in tomorrow morning.” He told her as he hugged her.

Stuart and Tom gave him a book on the history of gay culture. They had inscribed it to him, saying: Always walk tall and proud, love Stuart and Tom. He promised that he would. In an envelope from Jim and Adam, he found a promise of two tickets to the Broadway show of his choice.

LittleTom came over to him excitedly. “Open ours next, Matteo!” He said as he thrust a box wrapped in silver paper into Matt’s hands. On the card, it read: To our nephew and cousin Matteo. Happy Birthday! Love, Tom, Ryan and LittleTom. Matt tore open the paper and found inside a beautiful silver picture frame with a picture of Matt, Jon, Sam, Ryan and LittleTom grinning at the camera with their arms around each other’s shoulders in Nanna and Grampa’s front yard. Matt had forgotten all about it. Across the bottom of the frame were engraved the words: Cousins Forever. Tears welled up in Matt’s eyes.

“Don’t you like it?” LittleTom asked.

“LittleTom, it’s beautiful. I love it a lot!” Matt answered, swooping him into an embrace.

He noticed that Ryan tensed up slightly when he hugged him, but didn’t really think anything about it.

Miss Selwitz gave him a beautiful set of cuff links she’d gotten for him on her vacation in Mexico. Matt was thrilled as he put them with the dress shirt from Glen and Roy.

“I’ll wear these to church tomorrow. I’ll be the best dressed 15 year old in the congregation.

Sam and Sarah gave him movie passes and a video game he’d been wanting. Gary and Chet went in on another CD store gift certificate. Matt was excited about going to the store and shopping for music. He couldn’t believe how generous everyone had been. He told them all how grateful he was over and over.

Bill and Ann picked up their gift from the table and handed it to their son.

“Just a little something to go with all those CDs.” Bill joked.

Matt had a puzzled look on his face. It couldn’t be what he thought it was. When he got the paper off, his eyes went wide. He couldn’t believe it. There in his hand was a brand new iPod.

“Mom, dad…I…I…”

“You deserve it son. Happy birthday.” Bill said as he hugged him tight.

Ann was next in line for a hug. “We love you Matt. Happy Birthday.”

Jon was last. He handed Matt a small thin box with gold paper on it. He opened it slowly to find nestled in the box, a handsome and expensive looking wrist watch.

“How did you…”

“I had some money saved up. Turn it over.”

There on the back were the words: Matt and Jon forever.

Matt was crying freely now as he hugged Jon tightly to himself. When he’d gotten a hold of himself, he went around the room showing off his new watch.

Soon the guests started to leave. It had been a long and exciting day for the boys, and they were starting to fade. Ryan and LittleTom also had had a long trip, and started to look tired too. As they said their goodnights, Matt hugged each of them again and thanked them all sincerely. He felt like he was the happiest he’d ever been in his whole life. Matt got some clothes together and went home with the Kents. Before he left, he insisted on helping with the clean up.

With all the boys helping, it was an easy task. He hugged his parents at the door.

“Thank you so much for the party and the iPod, and, well…everything! You really surprised me.”

They kissed him goodnight and sent him on his way. When they got to the Kent’s house, Jon pulled Ryan and LittleTom aside and asked if he could have some time alone with Matt.

“Sure Jonny,” Ryan said with a wink. “We’re pretty bushed anyway. Maybe we should just sleep in the guestroom tonight. We can party tomorrow night!” He said as he wandered off down the hall with LittleTom in tow.

When Matt and Jon were alone in their room, they sat on the bed and shared a long and passionate kiss.

“I’m not so tired anymore.” Jon sighed.

“Me either!” Matt giggled.

They took their time undressing each other, lovingly kissing each newly exposed body part. When they were finally naked, they lay on their sides on the bed and just enjoyed holding each other for awhile until their hardening dicks were pressing urgently against their bodies.

“It was fun when you jerked me off this morning in the woods. We’ve never done that before.”

Matt chuckled. “Yeah, I guess we just skipped that part.”

They lay on their backs in such a way that they could reach each other’s erection, and began to pump.

“Feels really weird doing it to someone else.” Jon giggled.

“Yeah, feels great.” Matt sighed as he increased the action on Jon’s penis.

Jon returned the favor and soon both boys were breathing heavy.

“I’m…real…close!” Matt murmered.

“Me too!” Jon managed to say. “Jerk me, baby. Jerk it hard, Matt…I wanna come with you!”

Matt gave it all he had and soon both of them were shooting their thick warm loads up on their chests and bellies. They lay there for quite awhile until their semen started to dry on their bodies. Jon grabbed a convenient rag and started to clean them up.

“That felt great. I still like the other stuff, but this was fun for a change.” Jon said.

“Yeah, it was different. I liked it…Jon, I hope that watch didn’t cost too much. I really love it, but you shouldn’t have spent that much on me.”

“Don’t worry about it. I wanted to give you something you’ll have for the rest of your life…our life…together.”

They fell asleep in each other’s arms, still bathed in the afterglow of the orgasms they’d given each other, and a warm, enduring feeling of love between them.

I'm sorry this took so long. I know what it's like to be following a story and have to wait for the next chapter. I've heard from many of you, and it means a lot to me. After getting back home after five weeks away, there was a lot to do that has been neglected.

I have some drama planned for the next chapter. I thought of ending it with a cliffhanger, but I hate cliffhangers, so I'm afraid I resorted to the old standby: "They fell asleep in each other's arms..." Oh well, it's always a sweet way to leave things!

All the very best, Jon
