     After a hiatus of sorts, I am back with another story! Yay!
Anyway, due to personal problems, I've been unable/unwilling to write much
of anything for a long time. Here is a new story from me to you. For those
of you who know my style and enjoy it, you should really like this
one. Like I said, though, I haven't written anything for a while, so I may
be a bit rusty. For those who don't know my style, I tend to use a lot of
build-up and "storyline".  So, if you came on to find a story for a quick
jack-off, then this probably ain't for you. However, if you want to take
the time to read a beautiful tale of young love, then sit back, take a sip
from your glass of wine, and enjoy!

And remember...Always stand up for what you think is right, don't listen to
bullshit, no matter who is saying it, and always speak with your fists and
swear a lot to be heard!

Part 30:

	And, with the four streams of semen that he shot into Aaron's
mouth, acting like some sort of perverted starting pistol, David's
relationship with Aaron was reborn.

	Following the movie, which they walked out of after the oral
action, though David vowed to rent it when it came out since it seemed
pretty good, David and Aaron stood at the corner of Ste-Catherine and
University, holding hands.

	"So, what do you want to do now, sweetie?" David asked, still
riding the wave of this dream realized.

	Aaron looked up University and, then turned to David and
smiled. "Let's go on a nostalgia trip."

	"Huh?" David said, shooting Aaron a confused look.

	Aaron extended his arm up the street and said, "I mean, let's walk
up University and you can let me apologize for everything bad that I did,
individually."

	David shook his head, "What happened to you, Aaron? What could
possibly have happened in the last two years that made you act like such a
different person?"

	Aaron shrugged and smiled, "I don't know. Like I said, it happened
just after you left. I mean, I was glad that you'd gone, but...well..then I
started missing insulting you. I mean, I really took it to Mike, but it
wasn't the same. He just...well...he just didn't get as emotional as you. I
know it's sick, but I really did miss how hurt I used to make you."

	David sighed and shook his head, "That's wonderful, Aaron. Thank
you *so* much for telling me this!"

	Aaron laughed and shook his head, "Hold up a second, Dave! I mean,
yeah, at first I missed how I used to put you down and how horrible it made
you feel, but after a few weeks, I started seeing things...little, tiny
things that I always took for granted, because you were here. I mean, like
how I always use to sneer at you in class...Well, now there was always that
empty chair that I kept looking at. After a while, it just got to me. I
began to realize that I not only missed insulting you...I missed
*you*. That made me think, Dave, and the more I thought about it, the more
I began to feel depressed. I mean, if it weren't for you, I would have cut
my hair after two or three weeks of it being even somewhat long. It was a
bitch to wash in the shower and it kept getting it the way. Anybody who
says long hair is cool is a doorknob. Long hair sucks!"

	"Your point?" David said, sensing the way this conversation was
going.

	Aaron sighed and squeezed David's hand harder, "My point, Dave, is
that, as big of an asshole as I was, and I was one, it's true...it's true,
I still devoted a good portion of my time to you. Whether it was doing
things that you loved, or things that you hated, I still spent a lot of
time going out of my way to get you to notice me. Realizing just how much
time I spent thinking about you, made me miss you and it made me hate
myself. I wanted to try something new, by going with Mike, and when it
didn't work out, I didn't have the balls to admit that I was wrong, so I
got so mad at myself that I guess a lot of it leaked out onto you. Then,
the summer came and I was stuck at home and...well...I realized that I
couldn't call you to insult you, or apologize to you, or invite you over or
whatever. You were gone and you probably would have stayed, if I would have
just seen how much you loved me and forgotten about playing the field. When
I thought that I'd never see you again, I decided that I didn't want to be
a kid anymore and I should mature.  I cut my hair, bought new clothes and
just tried to get on with my life. I couldn't, though. Dammit, Dave, I just
couldn't! I mean, I went to the Village every weekend and I went to some
gay bars, but they just seemed so...so...faggotty! Same with the guys are
school. Those guys who walk around real swishy and act
real...well...gay. I'm not like them and I didn't want to be. I don't want
to be. I don't dance and I'm not interested in having flings. I wanted
someone who I liked and who liked me. Someone who I knew, if I wasn't in
the mood for love, I could just go to Lazer Quest with or something. I
wanted...I wanted...well...I wanted you, Dave. I wanted you to cry on my
shoulder and tell me how depressing your life is. I wanted you to tell me
how much you loved me. I wanted you to act really stupid and cry a lot,
whenever I talked about smoking or drugs. I wanted you to cling on to me
and keep asking me if I still loved you. I mean, you were annoying and
depressing and, sometimes, I just couldn't bear to be around you, you were
so annoying and depressing, and I thought that was what I hated about you,
but it turns out that it's what I loved most about you, Dave!"

	David was confused, "You mean, you loved that was annoying and
depressing?"

	Aaron laughed, "No, of course not! What I loved, was that you
didn't toss any lines at me or try to woo me. You didn't care if you were
annoying the fucking shit out of me, but you just...well..you just acted
like...like *you*! It was who *you* were, not some guy who was trying to
impress me. I mean, it was okay when we were still friends and hadn't
established our relationship yet, but even after we started using the words
"boyfriend" and "gay", you didn't change, Dave! You remember how we acted
in public and you must of known that there could have been a hundred guys
who I could have left you for...Guys who would have slept with me and had
sex with me and been really nice, until I got to know them and found out
what shits they were. You weren't like that. You loved me, but you never
treated me like a boyfriend...You treated me like your best friend. I mean,
we could kiss until we were sweaty and hard and just itching to fuck each
other, yet you would fart in front of me, and sometimes chew with your
mouth open, and laugh when I trip and fall.. You weren't embarrassed or
modest or anything.  You felt you had nothing to prove to me and nothing to
impress me with.  And...I don't know why, but I found that it was one of
the things I really liked about you. Sure, you constantly worried that you
were an inch away from losing me and, fuck, you even beat up Mike because
of me, but you had no idea that any of the things you used to do in front
of me, could have possibly contributed to me hating you!"

	David was still confused, and getting a bit angry, "So, you loved
me, because I was naive?"

	Aaron shook his head, "Don't you get it, Dave? I could have let any
of those things make me hate you, but in the end, it was my own stupidity
that made me act like I did, not anything that you did. Those things you
said before, about not being able to live without me and whatever...Well, I
eventually began to feel that way too! The things I did for
you...well...You did similar things for me. So, when my bubby asked me
where you were...Well, that was like the straw for me...I mean, I cried so
hard that night, partly because I knew that she was almost dead, but also
because I just missed you so much. I mean, I don't know what happened in BC
or whatever, but I'm thinking that maybe you being here and me feeling the
way I am, could possibly be fate. Maybe somebody up there is trying to tell
us that we deserve each other."

	Finally, David smiled and nodded, "Yeah, Aar...I think we do
deserve each other. I don't care what you or anybody says about anything;
you were always my love and I never stopped loving you."

	Aaron smiled, "I guess I never stopped loving you either. I just
wish I had realized that a couple of years ago."

	David shrugged, "So do I. It would have meant a lot less problems
for me."

	Aaron smiled and hugged David, "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't
mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to make you cry."

	David smiled and looked at Aaron, "Do you mean that or are you just
saying it because it's in a Cher song?"

	Aaron stepped back and shrugged, "Well, if I could reach the stars,
I *would* give them all to you! It would be the least that I could do."

	David growled and chased Aaron as he took off up University street.

	The two of them stopped outside 2001 University. Aaron turned to
David and said, "Here's the first stop on our nostalgia tour."

	David smiled, "Great, now I can relive the misery that you caused
me."

	"Bear with me for a bit." Aaron reassured, "At least now I'm with
you."

	"For now." David whispered to himself, as he followed Aaron up the
stairs and into 2001 University, better known as the London Life Centre.

	"The Radio Shack is still here." Aaron said, as he walked, "and the
convenience store with the Chinese guy, but the other places are all
closed.  Oh, the student barber is still open too."

	David followed Aaron through the double doors and into the food
court.  Aaron walked through and entered the seating area of Burger King.

	"And, here we have a seat that you might be familiar with." Aaron
said, as they approached the bench at the back.

	David nodded, smiling, "Yeah, that's where you and Mike and Alex
sat, when you made me try the cigarette and I nearly bust a lung."

	Aaron nodded, laughing, "Yup! You really proved that day that
smoking isn't for you. And so, I'd like to apologize for asking you to try
it. David, I'm really, really sorry for asking you to try smoking. It's an
awful habit and I'm glad I decided to give it up, before I became addicted
like an idiot.  Not Alex, though. He's gone on to be a lung cancer
candidate, for sure."

	"You still speak to Alex?" David asked.

	Aaron shrugged, "Yeah, and John. Alex cut his hair and let it go
back to its natural colour. As it turns out, it's red."

	"Oh cool!" David exclaimed.

	Aaron smiled and nodded, "Anyway, if we could, I'd like for us to
go to MIND, so I can apologize for the things I did there."

	David shook his head, "Aaron, I mean, I love you...I really love
you, but I just can't bear to go near MIND."

	Aaron nodded and took David's hand, "I understand, sweetie. In that
case, let me just apologize right here, then, for everything that I did at
MIND, that made you sad."

	"That's a lot." David said, smirking.

	Aaron nodded, his face a mask of seriousness, "I know, Dave. I
know, and I'm really and truly sorry."

	David nodded, "Thanks, I guess."

	Aaron nodded and said, "It's okay. Umm...There's one place that I
really would like for us to go. The last place, where I'd like to apologize
for one of the biggest mistakes that I made with our relationship."

	David shrugged, "You want to go up to the sugar shack?"

	Aaron smiled, but shook his head, "I don't think we have time, but
I *am* really, really sorry about what happened there. I'd like to go to
the park, near the Vendome Metro, if it's okay with you."

	David sighed and nodded, "Actually, I'd really like that."

	Aaron smiled, "Okay, and after that, do you want to come over and
stay the night?"

	David smiled and nodded, "I'd really like that too."

	So, Aaron and David headed up University street and caught the
McGill Metro. At Lionel Groulx, they switched over and stopped at Vendome.

	After walking up the street and down a bit, they arrived at the
park. Aaron led David through it until the large clearing beside the
statue.

	Turning around, he said, "David, this is where you fought Mike,
hoping to win my affection. Instead, the only thing that happened, was that
I told you that you and I were over. I don't agree with fighting, but even
I should have acknowledged your efforts. Hell, I shouldn't have put you in
a position to fight for me, anyway, but I did and I'm sorry. And, of
course, I'm really, really sorry for breaking up with you. After you beat
up that prick, Mike, I should have taken you in my arms and kissed your
face again and again."

	David nodded, "Thank you, Aaron. That means a lot to me. I...I
can't forgive everything you've done just yet, but I want you to know how
much your apology means to me.

	Aaron nodded and, walking forward, grabbed David's hips and,
leaning in, kissed him. They remained kissing for several seconds, before
Aaron separated from him and said, "I'm really sorry, David, and you have
every right not to forgive me just yet. I just wanted to say...you
know...that I'm sorry."

	David smiled and planted a fast kiss on Aaron nose, then said, "Can
we go to bed now?"

	Aaron squeezed David's hand and said, "Of course."

	With that, the two of them walked back through the park, toward the
metro.  They took Venedome up one station to Villa Maria, and got on the 24
bus, which would take them to Aaron's dad's place.

	On the way, Aaron turned to David and said, "You know, my dad
always liked you."

	David smiled, "He did?"

	Aaron nodded, "Yeah, but as friends. I don't know how he'll react
to us being boyfriends."

	David shrugged, "What did he think of it before?"

	Aaron smiled and shook his head, "David, we weren't boyfriends
before. We were kids who were "experimenting", as he called it. *Now* we're
going to be real boyfriends and...well...I dunno how he'll take it. How
will your mom take it?"

	David smiled, "Pretty good, I hope, but it's not like I care."
