Any resemblance to the characters may (or may not) be coincidence. The main characters involved: Joe A.K.A. the author. I usually introduce myself as Seth (my actual name) but everyone seems to like my middle name better, so I don't bother. I'm 18, 6'4" and 187 lbs. My eyes are gray and I have black hair, nearly shaved off. My skin is lighter toned. I'm in alright shape from playing soccer, and I try to keep it that way. Next: Ben. My boyfriend who I love to death. He's 17, 6'4" 190ish lbs. Bright blue eyes and a killer smile. He's in better shape than me, being a tri-athelete and all. He has about the same skin tone as me, and has a good figure in general. Oh yeah, he's pretty flippin' hot too. And then we have Dan and Tony, or The Terror Twins as we refer to them as. Tony's a bit taller at 6'5", but Dan makes up the difference by being totally ripped. Co-captains on the football team, both of them play guitar, and do just about everything together. Their physical features are so similar its scary at times. Slate blue eyes, longer brown hair, and they even have the same sideburns {Chapter Five: Holiday_Madness} It's now that time of year... the holiday season... Ugh. Not to be a Grinch, but I don't think the holidays are all they're cracked up to be. Materialism and all that, but I'd be lying through my teeth if I said I didn't like getting the odd gift on Christmas morning. My family has never been too big on Christmas, being -very- non religous and all. We spend our money on other things... Like throwing a killer party for the people we actually care about. Food, booze, the works, but we'll get to that later. It was the Friday before break and the school was a buzz with anticipation. As per the standard, there was a pep rally in the afternoon, which the four of us ritually skipped for the last three years. With the masses wandering the halls before the rally, Ben and myself took the opportunity to go to our locker and make for a quick escape. "Seen the twins?" He asked, tossing our books to the chaos inside. "Not since lunch, need to go anywhere else before we split?" I replied, people watching like I usually do. "Uh... Just the locker room quick, my gym stuff reeeaaalllyyy needs to be washed haha." "That's going in the back... I don't need to be passing out while driving home." "Very very true." Cutting our way through the crowded hall, we were almost instantly stopped by Evan an Monkey [I STILL don't know that kid's name!], wondering what we were doing after school. Informing them that we were leaving now, they decided it was a good idea and wanted to tag along. More the merrier I suppose, even though I didn't really know Monkey that well. "Excuse my ignorence..." I started, glancing at Evan. "But do you have a vehicle?" "Hmm? Oh, yeah, why?" He answered, giving me an odd look. "Cause I've got my Dad's truck and I know for a fact you two won't fit in the back with our dufflebags haha." "Ah. Yeah, I gave him a ride to school anyways." "Mmk cool. Just wait here while we go get our stuff." Ducking into the locker room, we were almost leveled by some of the class that was just getting out. Pressing up against the wall, I made my way to the main area and waited for Ben to collect his stuff. Taking a seat on one of the benches, I took a deep enhale of the locker room air. That smell of sweat mixed with cheap cologne... Ahh. So many memories in that locker room... Post soccer win celebrations, random nudity, and it's where Ben and I met. I smirked slightly as I thought back to all the towel wars and such. "Wanna relive some old times?" Ben asked with a grin, peeking around the wall of lockers. "No thanks... I'd rather just leave." I replied, pushing myself to my feet. "I know the smell is driving you insane in here... c'mon it'd be fun." He said, getting face to face with me with that horribly amazing smile. "... You're taller than me. When the hell did that happen..." I whispered, kissing him briefly. He took a step back and looked me up and down as a grin crept over his lips. I narrowed my eyes in response as I heard a few people coming down the locker room hallway. "Maybe next time, let's get out of here." I said as I walked past him, slapping him on the ass on my way by. Making our way to the exit, we met back up with Evan and Monkey and made our escape. I should probably say I -really- hate winter. All the eye candy of summer gets covered up by heavy jackets and pants and boots and such. I also really hate driving in all that lovely snow, because everyone else forgets how to drive with the first snowfall. Even though it had been snowing for a week, people still didn't regain their winter brains. Trudging through the falling snow, the four of us made our way to our vehicles. As it turns out, Evan parked two spots over from me. He has some silver Jeep thingy that looks like far too much fun to drive. Luckily, Dad let us take his truck because the roads weren't plowed when we went to school. That thing is a beast. It handles snow like its just wet pavement... I really want one haha. Apparently, our idea of skipping the pep rally wasn't ours alone as half the school piled out as I started the truck. "Oh good god don't let it warm up lets go!" Ben said as he eyed the mass of people going to their cars. "Good talk, good talk." I replied as I threw it into drive motioned out the window for Evan to follow. Seemingly overnight, the town had increased in population again in the pre-holiday rush. The main give away were all the license plates from Illinois and Minnesota. The traffic was like it was summer again... And as you'll know from my previous chapters I have very little patience for idiots when I'm driving[and in general]. BUT! I had the giant truck of awesome so it wasn't as bad this time around. With the music blasting, it seemed like five seconds from when we left the school to when we arrived home. As we walked in the door, I glanced at Ben, taking not of his expression. "Uhm... Something wrong bro?" I asked, nudging him in the side. "I had an idea of what we could do... But not with company around." He replied, giving me a look. "You should have told me before! I would have totally made up some excuse... Damnit!" "Hahaha. It's ok. We don't have anything going after they leave do we?" "Not unless the twins forget to show up for the usual Friday drunkness." "MmmmCRAP." "Aww what's wrong haha." "I'm more than a little horned up..." "Ya don't say... Hehe." "Oh but I do." With a slight sigh, we went up to my room and tossed all our stuff in the corner. Christmas break had just begun. Two whole weeks of doing what ever the hell we want. No waking up at 6 flippin am, no triginometry, no Mr. Honda. Oh yes, this will be epic. Yay vacation! "Hey! Seth! Where'd you go?!" A voice called from downstairs. "Oh yeah... We have guests..." I mumbled as we headed for the living room. Walking into the living room I dropped onto the couch and motioned for Evan and Monkey to have a seat. Ben snatched Dad's chair before either of the others could, thus getting control of the TV. The channel almost immediatly turned to G4, for the Attack of the Show! marithon Ben had been waiting for all week. He has this horrid boy crush on Kevin Pereira... But then again, so do I. After sitting there for a good three hours glued to the TV, we decided to go get some food. After arguing over where we were going, we decided just to go drive until something looked appealing. We piled in Dad's truck and made a few flaps around town before deciding on BurgerKing. I ordered my usual: double bacon cheese burger, extra bacon. We sat down just as the sun sank, wasting no time in destroying our food. "Monkey, when you gotta be home?" Evan asked as he demolished his chicken sandwich. "Not too sure." Monkey replied, making his fries dissapear. "Heh, nice. So what are you guys up to tonight?" "The usual Friday adventures with The Terror Twins... Surprised I haven't gotten an irritated text from either of them yet." I answered, looking out the window momentarily. Evan and Monkey looked at me a bit confused. I went on to tell them the Friday routine of getting a little drunk and just hanging out. With Monkey being a freshman, I didn't so much like the idea of wasting alcohol on some lightweight and having to keep him from taking a header into the toilet while puking. Evan on the other hand, went on a tangent of his adventures at his previous school. He sounds pretty hardcore, and I do believe I'd found a new drinking rival... But we [and you later on] shall see. After a few more tales from Evan, we tossed our stuff and piled back in the truck. The whole time, Monkey hardly ever said a word... He seemed mystified by our experiences. But I'm pretty sure he'd found a new idol in Ben. He had the big glassy eyed look going any time Ben would say ANYTHING. As Evan went to drop Monkey off at his house, The Terror Twins arrived, toting a bunch of new CDs and a brand new Kalmah [look them up, I command it] shirt for me. This explained their absense after lunch. "Gah you went CD shopping and didn't even tell us!" I shouted as they got themselves setteled. "We couldn't find you, and time was short!" Dan said, kicking back in Dad's recliner. "Where's my nemesis, I don't have anything going for two weeks and I WILL defeat him tonight." "I have no idea." I replied, shrugging a bit."My car's gone and I didn't see either of the parents when we were here before." "Meh... Whatever. Let's start. This will be a fun vacation." "Yes, yes it will." The annoying bird clock on the wall rang in some useless little song bird I could care less about, meaning it was it was eight pm. We always like to start on even times. The usual process was to slam down three shots and chill out with a mixer, note, I said the usual plan. Tonight was *cue Monty Python* Something completely different. There were the three shots... Then three more, then two, then one followed by some tequila. Sometime in there Evan reappeared, don't really remember when, but he caught up and kept pace pretty well. I guess he wasn't all talk afterall. The drunken stories ensued, followed by the customary wrestling match between Dan and Ben. The outcme was always a draw, but fun to watch none the less. By the time they finally stopped, it had snowed about 6 inches. "Looks like you're staying here Ev." I said, slurring slightly. "Yeah... Seems to be so. Got an extra room?" He replied, dropping on the arm of the couch. "Yeah, you'll have to fight for space with those two though." I said, pointing at Dan and Tony. "They aren't as vicious as they look at school, as you can plainly see." I said, laughing a bit. They both shot me cold looks as Ben pushed himself to his feet and toppled onto the couch, sprawling out over me, dropping his head on my shoulder. "I dunno about the rest of you, but my shots are kicking in pretty good." "A few more and I'll be toast." Evan said, sliding off the couch arm. "Well.. My nemesis isn't here, but the new blood will do..." Dan said, shifting his eyes to Evan. At that moment, ALL of my shots kicked in. Everything became unfocused and the room seemed to get very warm. Instead of acting on it, I decided to ride it out and sink into the couch, pulling Ben onto my lap. Tony snatched up Evan's spot as he went to get more ammunition for the long night ahead. Upon returning, Evan's face went blank as he noticed Dan's grin. You never want to see that grin if you're going against him in anything. EVER. It's like he flips some switch in his mind and he turns into a near unstoppable force. As they started drinking... Something... I whispered a bunch of sweet nothings in Ben's ear, winning me a hand sliding up my leg. That damnable clock went off again, only this time it was one am. Peeking over Ben's shoulder, I spotted Dan and Evan side by side propped up against the other couch on the verge of passing out. I couldn't make out a clear winner, they both looked pretty wrecked hahah. "Pssst... Seth..." Evan whispered. "I won!" "Holy crap. Tony, look at that." I said, poking Tony in the side. "Whoa! No way! He's out cold!" Tony stammered, trying not to laugh. "Well, congrats Ev. You've done what only my dad can do... But you look like you're about to pass out so let's go to bed." I chuckled, sliding out from under Ben. "That sounds excellent." By some miracle of science, we got Dan up off the floor and up to 'his' room while keeping Evan somewhat vertical. Somehow, Dan was concious enough to strip down to his boxers and take up the entire bed. "You can sleep on the floor in our room if you want." Ben said, yawning loudly. "Where's Tony gonna pass out then?" "He'll kick D in the side and he'll move over. He's the only one who can do that and live though hahah." "I see I see..." After making sure Dan wasn't gonna puke, the three of us headed off to my room and sat for a minute. "So uh... You guys are pretty cool." Evan slurred, sitting down in the computer chair. "Heh, thanks. You're pretty cool too." I replied, smiling a bit. "Thanks dude." Ben said, slumping over on my shoulder. "It's nice having friends again. Especially ones that can drink haha." "I keep forgetting you've only been here like two weeks." "Yeah, being the new kid sucks. Especially senior year." "You do any sports?" "I would do wrestling, but theres some rule against transfer students doing sports their first year or some shit... Reeealllyyy stupid." "Wow that sounds stupid." "Yes, extremely *hic*" Amazingly, we sat up and talked until about 4am. By this point we were very drunk and very tired, so it was definatly time to call it a night. I wobbled out the door and grabbed another pillow and blanket from the closet and wandered back in to find Evan propped up against the wall and Ben trying to hold him up. Ev's a big guy. 6'6" and about 200lbs I'd say. He strangely reminds me of Doug, but taller and not as metal. "You alright there big guy?" I asked, leaning on the wall next to him. "Yeah... It's time to pass out for sure." "Mhm mhm." Tossing the bedding on the floor, I kicked it around until it somewhat lined up parallel with the bed. Evan was right, it was definatly time for bed. We all sat down on the bed and pulled our shirts over our heads and kicked off our pants into a pile infront of the door. On a side note, he looks pretty good... And has the coolest tattoo I've ever seen. It's this huge shield between his shoulders with these decaying angel wings behind it. "Niiiiiice ink there buddy." I said, extremely envious of it. "Hahaha thanks man." "How long did you sit for that?" "Four-ish hours, give or take. Totally worth it though." "Yeah looks like it. "What's all that stuff in the middle? Looks like initials." "Yessir, me and my best friend from back home got it." "Ah, cool." "But less talking more sleeping." "Agreed big guy. The floors more comfy than it looks I promise haha." "I've slept on far less comfortable things than this, don't worry." "G'night guys. Thanks for having me over and sharing your liquor." "Any time man. Was nice having you." I hit the light and tripped over Evan onto the bed as he was making himself comfortable on the floor, nearly smoking Ben in the face with my elbow. after a few laughs, we settled down a bit. Ben and I slid into our usual position and cuddled for a while. "Love you Ben." I whispered, kissing his forehead. "Love you too Joe." He whispered back, holding me a little tighter. "No love for Evan as usual..." He said with a dramatic sigh. "Hahahahaha. Love you too Evan. Want a kiss as well?" "No no. I'll pass. Thanks though hahah." "G'night Evan." "G'night Seth, g'night Ben." {The Next Day...} The sun was firmly set in the sky as we all got around to waking up. With a huge yawn, I looked around the room to see Ben and Evan somewhat concious watching Superbad. Not bothering to reach for my pants, I sat up and stretched a bit, trying to get my bearings and come up with the game plan for day one of Christmas break. As you'll recall [for those of you who have seen it anyways] there's a part where Seth [odd coincidence eh?] tells... Whatever his name is [don't remember his character's name] that he's his best friend and he loves him and all that mushy teen friendship stuff. Well, as that scene of the movie came around, Ben pulled himself up next to me and recited it line for line, giving me -that- look and that horribly awesome smile of his. "So guys, how are we feeling today?" I asked, sliding an arm around Ben's torso. "Pretty good actually." Evan replied, propping himself up against the bed. "I feel a little groggy, but what's new about that." Ben answered, leaning into me. "Heh. So what's the plan guys?" I asked, adjusting my semi morning wood. "No idea." Ben replied "D and Tony said they'd be back later though." "I see I see... Got any plans today Ev?" I asked, trying to gain conciousness. "Nope. Parents are gone til the 24th." "Oooo nice party at Ev's haha." "That would be some party... Seeing as I only know you four and Kevin." "Who?" "Oh... Yeah... Monkey haha." "So he does have a real name!" "I only know that because he has his name written on EVERYTHING he owns." Waking up some more, I went off to the bathroom to take a piss and brush my teeth. Coming back in, I sat back down next to Ben and we found out everything there is to know about Evan. 18, only child, moved here from Maine[even though he has no accent to give that way], enjoys winter, snowmobiling and smart people. His next door neighboor is Kevin, and he was his first friend here. He gives him a ride to school every day and regularly destroys him in Halo. Just as we were talking about the little guy, Evan's phone went off. "Hello?... Oh hey what's up?... Mhm... Right... We're not really doing anything, sitting around in our boxers mostly... We just woke up haha... Alright one sec I'll ask. Hey Seth, mind if I bring Kev here? He's all home alone and bored." "Yeah sure. Grab his Xbox cause ours has been dead for quite some time now." "Alrighty then. Get your Xbox and I'll be there in an hour... Ok see ya then." "He's soooo gonna die in Halo." Ben said, leaning back on his elbows. "I dunno man, he's pretty good, but not better than me." Evan said, cracking a cocky smile. "Well go get him so we can find out!" Ben replied, narrowing his eyes a bit. "Alright then! I'm gonna stop home first and shower and stuff." "Mmk. We'll be here. You want something to eat before you go? I'm sure we can find something." "Nah I'm good, thanks though." We chatted a bit more as Evan got dressed. I tossed him his keys and some cash to pick up some pepsi on his way back, seeing as we drank it with most of a bottle of whatever the night prior. As he vanished out of the room, I felt an arm slide around my waist and dig a few fingers into the band of my boxers, slowly working their way around to my treasure trail and creeping down to my pubes. As I looked over, Ben dropped his head on my shoulder and pulled me onto his lap. "We've got some time... Let's take a shower." He said in his sexy tone. "That sounds amazing. Let's go." I said, kissing the top of his head and getting to my feet, pulling him with me. We walked to the bathroom with his hands down my shorts, gently toying with my package. As we reached the bathroom, I was rock hard. Ben kicked the door shut and pressed up against me, he was in much the same situation I was. Feeling his cock pressed up against me sent shivers down my spine. His body is so warm all the time... We hardly need a blanket most of the time. As Ben continued to play with my dick, I reached in the shower and adjusted the water. "See if thats warm enough for you, I don't know how you usually like your water." I said, leaning back into him. "Whatever you pick I'll be fine with." He said, kissing the back of my neck. As the water reached my preferred temperature, I slid my boxers off and stepped in as Ben slid his off as well. I spun him around and wrapped my arms around his, holding him against me as the water poured over us. We stood there in silence as I slowly moved my hands all over Ben's chest and midsection as he leaned back into me, breathing slowly. Ben put his hands on mine and laced our fingers together, turning his head to kiss my cheek. "Love you Joe." He said, nuzzling his face in my neck. "Love you too Ben." I replied, holding him a bit tighter. "I'm glad we moved here." Ben chuckled, pressing us up against the wall. "I am too. You have no idea." I whispered, running our hands up and down his sides. After a few more minutes of sweet nothings, I grabbed the body wash and lathered him up, paying special attention to his package. "God damn, that got bigger too!" "Yeah... Had a growth spurt haha." As I continued lathering him up, Ben became quite stiff. Dropping my head on his shoulder I looked down at his all too perfect cock in my hand and began to slowly stroke him. Slightly tightening my grip, he leaned back into me, moaning slightly as I ran my hand the length of his tool. After a good twenty minutes of torturous stroking, I felt his body twitch as he put his hands on my hips. "I'm gonna cum." He whispered between moans. I spun him around just as he exploded over my abs. His body shook as his orgasm subsided, leaning into me, pawing at his seed on my stomach. With a glazed over look, he smiled and kissed me between the eyes. He wasn't kidding about the growth spurt! I guess when you're around someone constantly you don't notice the slow changes in someone. His eyes got -alot- lighter, almost white, and his features were more defined. But that smile... Good god I melt just thinking about it. His ability to grow a beard appeared over night. I find nothing more sexy than feeling stubble on my chest in the morning :] "Your turn." He whispered in my ear, letting his hands run down my back. "I'll save that for later." I said, grinning at him. "But c'mon, every ones gonna be back soon." "No fun at all..." He whispered, stroking my dick a few times. I bit my lip and told him we'd finish up later. With a disappointed sigh, he let go of my tool and threw back the shower curtain. Ben shot me a look and winked as we got out and toweled each other off. After we dried off and fooled around some more, we went back to our room and threw on some clothes and blasted some Windir as we waited for everyone to reappear. We were a bit spooked when Evan and Kevin manifested, seeing as there was no way we could hear the knocking on the door. "Hey 'sup" I shouted as I turned down the music to a more tame level. "Not much." Evan replied, dropping onto the bed. "How's the hangover?" "Went away with a shower." I answered, plopping down on the computer chair. Within seconds, Monkey had his 360 out and hooked up with Halo all ready to go. The air instantly grew thick with ego as Ben, Evan and Kevin started the shit talking. I'm terrible at first person shooters, so I sat back and watched probably the longest match of Halo ever. Near the end, the Terror Twins showed up and immediatly spoke more shit than the other three combined. As the first round of matches ended, it switched to 2 Vs. 2: Ben and Evan against Tony and Dan. It's really amazing to watch... I never knew such strategy could be employed in such a seemingly simple game. None of us were keeping an eye on the time, or much of anything else for that matter until Dad manifested at the door and told us dinner was ready. I glanced at the clock and twitched, seeing it was 6:49 already. The final outcome was a crushing defeat for Evan and Ben. It looked like a varsity team facing some 8th graders when the scoreboard came up. After a bunch more smack talk, we all shuffled down to the kitchen and grabbed seats where we could. Mom made spagetti, and it was damn awesome. After we finished eating, we all helped clean up and it was back to the room for another bout of Halo. Tension was high as clock was running out. Dan and Ben had Tony and Kevin by one point in capture the flag. The shit talking got louder as the clock wound down past the 30 second mark... Then I heard an explosion, and Kev and Tony hung their heads in defeat. "So... Who's all stayin' over?" Ben asked, glancing at the clock. "Well, I can do what I want, seeing as my parents aren't here." Evan replied, standing up and stretching a bit. "I'd have to call and see if I can." Kev said in the usual freshman tone. "Here ya go." I chuckled, tossing him my phone. "D? Tony?" "Can't" They said in unison. "Going Christmas shopping at MOA [Mall of America]. Leaving at 7am." Dan grumbled. "Yeah..." Tony hissed, not seeming too pleased. "Wow... Harsh." I said, trying not to laugh. "Yeah no kidding..." "More metal boys?" "Fuck yeah!" Everyone agreed with the musical selection... Save for Monkey, who is severly uneducated musically. That would change though, we had two whole weeks of nothing to do! {To Be Continued...} END: Chapter 5- Holiday_Madness NEXT: Chapter 6- Fleeting_Memories Comments and such can be directed to antiversum@yahoo.com.
