I looked around and rolled in my bed, expecting Lucas to be there. I remembered that he got dropped off by my mom. I missed him already. Kinda had the urge to feel his muscles. Suddenly, I remembered that I had a phone and that I could text him. It's only Sunday right? I could call him and ask him to come over. I picked up my phone and saw a message that had already been sent. It was from Lucas. I smiled without even opening it but I knew it would be good. Lucas: Hey babe. I know you're probably asleep but I'm thinking about you. I can't sleep so I might as well text you. I just want to say that you're the best boyfriend that I could ever ask for and I hope that we continue to grow as a couple. You're so cute and talented but it's funny because you don't even know it. I love you Jacob Ashford. I know this is just a text but if I'm able to come over or see you tomorrow, I'd love to. Text me when you can. Love you Jacob Damn I had a good boyfriend. He was so cute. I was already typing back my response without me even realizing it. I told him he could come over whenever and sent it. Then it hit me, will dad and mom say yes? I decided to go to their room to find out and convince them until they agreed. I just wanted to spend the day with Lucas. When I walked down the hall, Tristan walked out of his room. "Hey... there's my big brother," Tristan said, rubbing his eyes. "Did you just wake up?" I asked. "Y... yeah. Why?" Tristan said. "You look funny. Also, you have serious bed head," I replied. Tristan rolled his eyes, "You have it as well." I touched my hair, "Whatever." I started to walk off but Tristan grabbed my hand. "You didn't tell me how your night went with your boyfriend," Tristan replied. "Why don't you say that louder so everyone can hear," I replied. Tristan shrank down, feeling bad. After feeling bad for a couple seconds, he stood tall. "Wait a minute... so it didn't go well?" He asked. "It was fun," I replied, "I hopefully get to spend more time with him today... if mom and dad say yes." "Right. Well you have fun with that. I'm going to talk to Kayla," Tristan said, walking off. "Who's Kayla?" I asked. Tristan turned around, "She came over when you were at homecoming shoving your tongue down Lucas's throat." "Oh ha ha. So... Kayla's her name? What happened?" I asked. Tristan stopped, "Nothing much. Just hung out and watched a movie. She's playing hard to get. I can feel it." Tristan heard his phone go off and he gasped. "She's calling! Do you have any money. I really need it. C'mon Jacob, please," Tristan asked. "For..." I replied, wondering why he was acting so childish. He's the chill one of the group. "I wanna take Kayla out. C'mon I don't want to miss the call," Tristan replied. "Hmm..." I thought out loud. "I'll ask later. This is going to be sweet!" Tristan replied, running off. "Yeah he's totally old enough to have a girlfriend... or a female friend," I said to myself, walking down the hall. "Dang it! No caller ID!" Tristan said. I heard Ben laugh before I entered my parents room. I smirked out of Tristan's disappointment. When I entered the room, I saw that my parents weren't there. Then I heard some giggling. I looked into the bathroom and then realized what was going on before I saw anything. "Um... mom... dad," I started. "Oh Jacob! Good morning hun," my mom said. "What's up Jacob?" My dad asked. "Uh... I was wondering if Lucas could come over today," I replied to the wall. I didn't want to see my parents naked right now. "Yeah that'll be great honey. Just give him a call," my mom said. "Ok!" I replied, leaving the room. When I walked down the hall, Tristan walked out of the room, mad. "Do you know how excited I was?" Tristan asked. "Pretty sure the whole house knew. Maybe the neighborhood," I replied. "How did you turn Lucas onto you?" Tristan asked. "Well... we just started talking and I think he liked me as well. We hung out a couple of times and the next thing I knew, I had my first kiss and was in my first relationship," I said. "Sounds easy," Tristan replied. "It was scary since I'm more of the nerdy type and he's the jock type," I replied. "Yeah... maybe not the first combination that I would put together at first. You two seem happy... at times," Tristan said. I nodded, "It all depends on mood. Speaking of Lucas, I have to tell him that he can come over." "Alright. Just be quiet if you two do stuff. I can hear it sometimes," Tristan replied, walking down the stairs. I blushed, "What did you hear?" "Let's just say I heard enough," Tristan laughed, "I just put my earplugs in. Ben had his in prior so your secret hasn't been spilled just yet." "Noted," I said, walking back into my room. Tristan followed me into my room. I looked at him and went back to what I was doing. "Do you really want to watch me call my boyfriend? Is your life that boring?" I asked, laughing. Tristan shrugged, "I don't want to be the one to always call Kayla. She'll think I'm needy." "Don't girls always feel the need not to call first? Isn't that the rule?" I asked. Tristan looked at me, "I would take your advice but you're into boys so... well actually you might be right. This is too hard to figure out." "Welcome to relationships," I replied, smirking. I went on my phone and contacted Lucas. He might be asleep but I wanted to give it a try. No harm in that right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lucas's Point of View I started rolling around my bed, feeling the surrounding area for my phone. I felt the buzzing near my leg and I grabbed it. I looked at the contact and saw that it was Jacob Ashford. I answered the call as I felt up my "morning wood". "Hello what have we here?" I said, referencing Lando Calrissian. "Star Wars... cute," Jacob replied, giggling a little, "Did I wake you? I'm sorry." "Yeah but it's fine. You're an exception," I replied, smiling, "What's up? Did you get my message?" "Yeah I got it. I wanted to call you back and say that you're free to come over," I replied, "I talked to my parents about it but they seemed to just agreed quickly. I think they were doing something in the bathroom," Jacob replied. "Gross," I replied, moving around my big balls. They flopped down between my legs. I knew they were full of cum. "So what time suits you best?" I asked. "Anytime really. You could come now actually," Jacob said. "Cool. I'm going to take a quick shower and get over there as soon as I can. I'll just walk," I replied, stroking my growing shaft, which felt super long. It had been a while since I masturbated and I forgot how big I was. "Awesome! I'll go get ready. See you in a bit. Love you," he said. "Love you more," I replied. We hung up the call and I looked at my dick. I rubbed the head, collecting pre cum. I smiled at the thought of Jacob. Isn't he just the cutest? I got up, walked down the stairs butt naked and looked to see if my family was there. When I saw my parents working on the computer, I walked back upstairs, unnoticed. Showering was boring without Jacob, and a little harder. He always got places that I couldn't and cleaned me to the best of his ability as I did the same. It just... worked. When I got dressed, I got downstairs. "Hey mom and dad," I replied. "Good morning," my mom said. "How are you?" My dad asked. "Good. I was going to go over to Jacob's house," I replied. "Are you walking?" My mom asked. "Yeah why not? He's not that far away anyways. I'll be fine," I replied, grabbing my wallet. "You know, if you got to work on that permit, you could be driving already if you didn't have a lazy attitude towards it. You're past 15 and a half," my dad replied. "Yeah I know. I'm just a bit busy. Don't worry," I replied. "Driving means freedom Lucas," my mom said. I hated it when they both ganged up on me. It wasn't fair because they never heard me out. "I'll be fine. I'll see you guys later," I replied and with that, I left the house. Walking down the sidewalk was pretty relaxing. I was wearing a tank top and shorts on this hot day with the ocean breeze hitting my body. I started to think about what it would be like to tell my parents that I have a boyfriend. Would they care? Would they hate me? I had never thought of these things because I didn't care about other's opinions but spending time with Jacob made me care and made me think more. He's my everything and I can't afford to lose that, especially since my parents don't care. Before I knew it, I was at the Ashford household. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jacob's Point of View I put on my t-shirt and looked at myself in the mirror, running my hand through my hair. Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring. "I'll get it!" I said, running out of my room. I tripped over myself but got up straight away because I was too excited. When I opened the door, I melted with happiness. He was standing there, hot (probably from the heat) but his muscles were looking amazing and he was really handsome. I had to kiss him right there. I planted my lips on his and we stood there for a couple of seconds, not wishing to expose our secret. "Nice to see you too," Lucas smirked, "Can I come in? It's really hot." "Oh shoot. Yeah come in," I replied, looking outside. It was pretty hot when I thought about it. "Man I love coming here. It's better than my place," he said, sitting down at the kitchen table. "Your place isn't that bad," I said, giving him a glass of water. He took it and smiled. "Thanks. But it kinda is. I mean, my parents just keep pushing me to do things that I either don't want to do or don't have time to do. They never care about what I actually want," Lucas said. "What do you want?" I asked, sitting at the table. "To be happy. To live a life where I don't have to worry about not being judged by every move I make. Football gets boring because I know my parents push me in the wrong direction, making it seem more like a chore than a privilege. I want my parents to support me in any way. Whether that be for a job or doing things outside of school but most of all, I want to be with you and I don't know how they'll take it," Lucas said. I looked at him, seeing the pain boiling up inside of him. "Hey, don't beat yourself up over this. You're amazing. Ok? You, Lucas Jones, are amazing," I replied. "Thanks," Lucas said. "I want to hear you say it," I replied. "Jacob..." Lucas said, smiling a little. "That's not what I wanted to hear," I replied, grabbing his hand, "Say it and believe it." "I'm... amazing," Lucas said, kinda questioning it. "With passion?" I said. "I'm amazing," Lucas replied. "Yes!" I smiled. "I'm amazing!" Lucas said, passionately. I laughed. Then he broke out laughing too. "Thanks." "Anything for you. You've made me more... outgoing," I replied, "I have to return the favor." "That's why I love you so much," Lucas said, rubbing my hands. I smiled and kissed him. He grabbed my head as I touched his arms. Suddenly, we heard someone cough. We turned to see Tristan. "I just want to know why I'm the one who always walks in on this type of stuff," he replied, opening up the fridge to get more orange juice. "Hey Tristan," Lucas said. "What's up?" Tristan replied. "Nothing much," Lucas smiled. "Something was up. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife," Tristan smirked, "You too should be more careful. You wouldn't want that to kick off your coming out session... I assume." Tristan grabbed his drink and looked at Lucas, "Nice muscles by the way." Lucas smiled, "Thanks." Tristan walked up the stairs, leaving Lucas and I alone. "Is he...?" Lucas started. "Wildcard," I replied, shrugging. "Ah," Lucas said. "So, what do you want to do?" I asked, looking around the house. "Hm... not sure. We usually just have sex and watch tv," Lucas laughed. I laughed with him, "We would have to be quiet if we have sex because Tristan has heard us... making love." Lucas got stiff, "He he... sorry. Am I too much?" "I like it so it's no problem," I replied, kind of answering his question. I rubbed his chest while passing by him, looking outside. I saw the pool and turned around to Lucas. "Wanna go swimming?" I asked. "Why not," Lucas replied, taking off his shirt. I felt a twitch in my pants when seeing his perfect body. I smiled to myself as he walked up to me. He grabbed my chin and looked into my eyes, "Eyes are up here." I laughed, "Yeah... I guess your eyes are another nice thing to look at." I kissed his cheek as I took off my shirt. I saw him admiring my body as I looked at him, "Should we get our swim trunks?" Lucas nodded and walked up the stairs with me. I felt my butt get pinched and I turned around to him. He winked at me and I melted at the sight of him. I looked around and pulled him close, "Are you horny or something?" "When am I not," Lucas laughed, "But yeah, I haven't done anything with you for a while." "Don't worry Lucas. You're saving up," I replied, kissing him on the lips. He had to adjust himself before he could continue following me. My mom walked out of her room, following my dad. "Alright guys. I'm off to work," my dad said. "And I have to go get some groceries," my mom replied. "Oh ok. So I have to babysit?" I asked. "Yes, that would be a good idea," my mom replied. I looked at Lucas and Lucas shrugged, "Ok fine." My mom kissed my forehead before walking down the stairs. "Love you," my mom said. My dad rubbed my head before passing me down the stairs. My mom hugged Lucas and my dad gave him a handshake before leaving. "More time to ourselves?" Lucas asked. "I guess... but I have to talk to you about something," I replied. "Alright. What is it?" Lucas asked. "I feel like its time for my parents to know," I replied, looking at Lucas to see if he'd react. "That's a nice start," Lucas smiled, "I think we should be more open about us." "But like, how do I tell them?" I said, opening my door to my bedroom. Lucas took off his pants, looking through my closet for swim trunks. "You just have to get them all together and tell them. One already knows," Lucas said, finding a pair and comparing it to himself to see if it'll fit. "Easier said than done," I replied. "At least you have a family who would have a chance at being accepting. I'll tell my parents when you do but... I just fear my mom and dad. They're like... never there," Lucas said, looking down. I looked at him, seeing his visible sadness. I walked over to him, running my fingers through his hair. He looked up at me and smiled. "I know... I'm sorry," I said, rubbing his head. He smiled a little, faking it. "Thanks," Lucas replied. "So I think I'll do it tonight," I replied, looking at my swim trunks that I'll wear, "We'll be... free." "Hopefully," Lucas said, "And I can kiss you whenever I want." Lucas's eyes gained an excited look and he grabbed me, kissing my lips. I giggled, kissing him back. "That sounds like a nice reality," I replied, rubbing his chest and abs. He grabbed my butt, rubbing it. I let out a little moan, which caused me to feel a pulse from his pants. "Okay I think we should get back on track," I winked at Lucas. Lucas laughed, "Sorry Jacob. You're just really cute." "Love you," I replied, dropping my shorts and underwear to put on my swim trunks. He changed as well, "Love you too." We walked outside, looking at the pool. I looked at Lucas's bulge, seeing it poking out even when it was soft. "You're so big in every way," I replied, looking him over. Lucas smiled, "Thanks. I try to keep up my looks." I looked at the pool, "Looks clean. Wanna start in the -" Before I could finish my sentence, Lucas pushed me in the pool. I fell in, going into the deep end before coming back up for air. I looked at him, laughing as he ran his fingers through his hair, exposing his nice armpits. "Is it my turn to push you in?" I asked, smiling. Lucas laughed, jumping in. I protected my face from the water shooting towards me but when I turned to Lucas, he emerged from the water, hair all down, shaking off the water from his head like a dog. Lucas swam towards me, grabbing my legs and tackling me into the water. I laughed as I went under, swimming out of his grip to get back up. "Not expecting that," I laughed, rubbing his chest and his half dollar sized brown nipples. I looked at his chin, rubbing his stubble. "You're growing it out?" I asked. Lucas shrugged, "Maybe, I'm still thinking about it. What do you like?" "Clean shaved to be honest but hey, I love you for you," I replied. Lucas kissed me quickly, "I love you." Lucas looked up at Jacob's parent's room. He looked at me and I knew he was getting serious. "What?" I laughed a little but I knew something was up. "We're not going to address the elephant in the room?" Lucas asked. I swam up to him, touching his abs but he grabbed my hand and looked at me. "Elephant in the... we're outside," I smiled. Lucas smiled, "You know what I mean. I wanted to know what you were going to do about telling your parents about us." I swam back a little and started shaking, "I... I mean yeah I'm going to do it today but it's a little hard for me to get through." Lucas touched my shoulder, "I'll be there for you. You love me right?" I nodded. Lucas nodded, "Alright good we're on the same page. Then I guess we have to do this at some time." I nodded again, "Yeah I'll do it at dinner... you can stay tonight at dinner right?" Lucas started thinking, "Hmm I think so. I'll have to ask." During our swim, we wrestled (mainly he won) and I decided to float flat on my back. Lucas swam up to me, touching my stomach. My quarter sized dark pink nipples, and poke his finger in my belly button. I couldn't hear him because my ears were under the water but I just looked at him and smiled. I sunk under the water and then landed on my feet, poking my head out of the water to see him. He smiled. "Sometimes I just take a little time to look at you," I said. Lucas smiled, "Not to much to look at." I punched his chest a little and laughed, "You're like a dream come true." Lucas grabbed me and looked at me in my eyes, "You're adorable. But our break is now over." I rose my eyebrow before he tossed me underwater. I got lose and swam to the shallow end so I could escape him. I took a second as I laughed but then I felt him grab my foot. I might have screamed a little loud because Lucas shot up to the surface with his finger pressed against his lips. I stopped screaming and giggled. His wet, muscular body walked towards me and I started to get hard. "You scream so loud," Lucas smiled, "You don't want your parents to come out or something like that." I put my finger to my lips and smiled. Lucas smiled back and looked at me. "What?" I asked, curious as to why he was paying so much attention to me. "You're acting weird. Are you okay?" Lucas asked. "Oh... uh... this is just me being fun," I said, looking down at my feet. I felt Lucas's fingers under my chin, lifting them up. "I know you're lying Ashford," Lucas said, "You look at the ground or at your feet every time." I looked into his eyes, his blue crystal eyes, "I... I guess I'm just scared." He hugs me and looks at me straight in the eyes, "You're kidding right? You have a perfect family. I wish I had what you had. Just think about this, would you want to be hiding all the time or do you wish you could just kiss me right in front of your parents? Wouldn't that be exciting?" I shook my head, slowly. "Ok well it's not exciting to make out with me in front of your mom or dad but you get what I mean," Lucas said. I swam away from him, thinking. I let my wet hair fall down onto my face as it dripped in front of me. Lucas got out of the pool, walking to the lawnchairs. I looked at him, seeing him sunbathing. "You're leaving the pool?" I asked. "I just wanted to dry off. We can't swim all day. Plus, I wanted to give you some time to think," Lucas replied, keeping his eyes closed. I sighed, thinking through all the scenarios on what could happen. After I finished thinking, I walked over to Lucas, blocking his face from the sun. He opened one eye to see me. "Dinner. You. Me. Tonight," I said. He smiled, "Is it going to happen?" "Better late than never," I replied. He stood up, growing taller than me. He put his hand on my shoulder, bending down to my level. "You're brave. I like that. My boyfriend, Jacob Ashford, never ceases to amaze me," Lucas replied, rubbing my chest. I giggled a little before he walked off to the house. I followed, watching his butt jiggle a little with every step. When we got inside, we went to my room to change. I guess I was just really horny because when he got undressed, he was soft (which was pretty big in itself). I loved seeing his uncut thick and long cock jiggle as it falls out of his swim trunks. When I got undressed, I was fully hard, sticking straight out with a little precum seeping out. He noticed and smiled. "Excited I see. You look like you're getting bigger," Lucas said, studying my size. I looked down to study it. It looked normal but I guess he'd know since I look at it every day. "I am? Looks about right," I said, studying it. Lucas looked around my room, trying to find a measuring tape. When he found it, he walked up to me and measured my length and girth. "You're 7 inches long, 5 inches in girth," Lucas smiled. I looked at his, which was dangling freely between his legs. His balls hung low, swaging with his movement. I grabbed his head, rubbing it. It started to harden, getting longer and bigger in seconds. I looked at him to see him biting his lips as I rubbed the head and slit, which seeped out loads of precum. It got long enough to where I could jerk him off with two hands. Before I knew it, he was at full size. I grabbed the measuring tape and wrapped it around his size. "7 inches in girth. It looks like you're still your length," I smiled up at him. He looked at it, seeing my face next to it. "Always looking for a way to get me big and hard," Lucas said, grabbing his phone. He texted on it, giving me time to get dressed. When I got dressed, he turned around and saw me on my phone. He got dressed as well and sat on my chair next to my desk. "What do you want to do now?" he asked. "Who'd you text?" I asked back. "Oh, my mom. Just asking if I could stay for dinner," he replied. I nodded, "Uh... wanna play video games?" He nodded, walking over to my console. We got everything set up and started to play. As we played, I was getting cocky because I was doing a lot better than him but he was coming back to try to beat me. As we did this, I heard someone knock on the door. It was Ben. "Oh hey Ben, what's up?" I said, focused on playing my video game. "Nothing," he said, before seeing Lucas. He ran to Lucas to give him a hug. When this happened, Lucas got distracted and I got the upper hand, beating him in the current round. "HA! I won!" I replied. Lucas rubbed Ben's head, messing up his hair like he does to me. "No fair. Ben distracted me," he replied, watching as Ben buried his face in his chest. I laughed, "Sure thing buddy." "Another round," Lucas pleaded, "I'm starting to get the hang of this." I looked at him and nodded, "Alright. No outside interference." I looked at Ben as I said this. He shrunk down a little, "Sorry." "It's fine. When's mom and dad coming home?" I asked. Ben shrugged. "Very helpful," I replied, looking back to the television screen. When I selected the mode I wanted to use, I waited for Lucas. Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at it and saw my mom's name on the phone. "Hello," I started off. "Hi honey. Is everything going alright over there?" My mom asked. I looked around. "Pretty sure. House isn't on fire yet so that's a start," I smiled. She laughed, "That's good. How's Lucas?" "He's good. I was wondering if he could stay for dinner, if that's fine with you of course," I replied. "Yes that is fine. Is it okay with his parents?" She asked. I looked over to Lucas, who nodded. "Yes. His parents said yes I mean." "Alright. What do you think I should make? Pasta or chicken?" "Why not both?" "Hmm maybe. Will you eat all that or..." "Well we do have Lucas and Ben and Tristan eat everything so it'll be fine right?" "Right... okay then I will make both. I'll be home shortly. I just got off the phone with your father and he said he's coming off the freeway. He'll be home before I am," my mom explained. "Okay that's fine. Thanks mom," I said. "No problem sweetie. I'll see you in a little bit. Love you," she replied, making kissing noises from the other side of the phone. "Love you too," I said, kissing at the phone, "Bye bye." She hung up the phone and I placed it on the bed. I turned around to see Lucas smiling. "I won't hear the end of it if I don't do that. I swear," I said. "Mmm hmm," Lucas laughed. I blushed and shook my head, facing back to the television. I heard Ben and Lucas giggling as I started the game. After we finished the game, I heard the garage opening. Ben had fallen asleep on my bed so Lucas got up quietly as did I. We met my dad downstairs. "Hello boys, what's going on?" My dad asked. "Nothing much Mr. Ashford. Just played video games and took a little swim," Lucas said. "Oh how nice," he replied, "Getting a little chilly isn't it? After homecoming, here comes all the fall months." "Exactly. I really can't wait to go to the mountains. I always go skiing with my family," Lucas announced. I looked at him, curious. I never knew that. Guess you learn something new every day. "Oh really? Yeah I have to take the family up there sometime. I used to do all of that as well until I met his mother," my dad laughed. "Just nice to get out of this heat for a little bit of time," Lucas replied. "Exactly. Exactly," my dad said. "Oh dad, what's going on with that gym membership? I was wondering if I could go to Lucas's gym. He could help me out sometimes," I asked. My dad looked at me, seeing my interest. "Looks like you're getting more interested. I gotta start finalizing that but I think I got the money together. You can get down there right?" My dad asked. "I'll find some ways. It's just boring doing the same exercises at home. Only so much you can do," I replied. "Well since you have taken an interest in it, I will get that done. It'll be up on my list," my dad said, patting my shoulder. "Thank you!" I replied as he walked past us. Lucas looked at me, "You wanna get bigger now?" "Why not? You're muscular and I just wanna get in on that action," I said. "Alright. Just don't push yourself Jacob. I don't want you to be hurt," he replied. I nodded, "You don't have to worry about me all the time Lucas. I'll be fine." He nodded, "Just looking out for my boyfriend." "Thanks," I replied, walking off to the kitchen to set up. Lucas looked at me, curious. As the night started to fall, the garage opened up and my mom came home. Lucas and I were watching some television when my mom walked inside. She greeted us both and started on the food. It was done pretty quickly and we all got ready to eat. "Come eat!" My mom yelled out to the house. I looked at Lucas, who was laying on my bed, looking at the ceiling fan go around and around. "It's time," I said, feeling my heart face. He sat up and patted his lap. I sat on his lap, looking at him. Even soft, I could feel his bulge rubbing against my hole. "Look Jacob, you've changed since I first met you. You used to be quiet and reserved and never did anything out of your comfort zone and I respect that but seeing you now, it's changed a lot of my perspective of you. You are a lot more crazy, sarcastic, and fun than I thought and I couldn't have wished for a better friend and even a better boyfriend coming my way. So if this is going to happen, think of it as another important chapter in your books. This is a dinner with the Ashford's, this is more exciting than what I have had in my house," Lucas said, kissing me on the lips. It was warm and soft, making me calm down. When we broke, he kept close. "I love you," Lucas said, softly, "You've got this. And I'll be by your side the whole time." Jacob nodded, "I love you too." "I know you do," Lucas smiled, "Now let's get this show on the road." I got off Lucas's lap and walked to the door, with him following me. We all sat in our seats at the table, picking our food as we got our plates ready. Ben looked eager to eat and started to dig in. Tristan, as always, was on his phone and minding his own business. I was pretty sure he didn't know that there was food in front of him. My mom caught my eyes and looked at me, smiling. I smiled back. I have to admit, it was a fake smile but it will do. She caught onto it, confused. "Something wrong hun?" My mom asked. I looked up at her, "Oh no. I'm just deep in thought." She nodded as she understood that I do that a lot and she started to eat. It was relatively quiet and I could feel someone nudging my leg. I looked up and saw Lucas. His eyes were telling me to stop waiting but I shook my head a little. Suddenly, my dad spoke. "Well since someone has to break the ice, I believe I am going to be getting this promotion that I've been talking about for the past couple days," my dad said. My mom smiled, "That's great honey. It would be great if we got the extra cash." "Of course. Maybe we could visit some family members down in Florida. A little vacation after midterms," my dad said. "Speaking of midterms, Jacob, have you been studying for those?" My mom asked. "Yes. I think I got a good plan going at the moment," I replied, not meeting my mom's gaze. "That's good," my mom said, "Lucas, what about you?" "Oh I'm trying to get through it. It's a little difficult but hey, it has to be done I guess," Lucas replied. My mom smiled, "Exactly." "Mom, you act like he's your son as well," Tristan laughed a little. Guess he was a little aware of his surroundings. "Well I like to think of him as a part of this family. I mean, he's close enough," my mom said, smiling at Lucas. "It's an honor then," Lucas said, "Seems like a stable loving family." As he said that, he looked at me. I could hear his voice emphasize the word "loving" as he did this. I started to get hot in the face. I knew I had to do it someday. Why not just get it off my chest. "Uh..." I started. Everyone looked at me. My heart started to race as I started to sweat. I didn't want to be here. I didn't know how to start or what to say or how they would react. I was freaking out but I felt someone's hand on my leg. I looked at Lucas and he looked into my eyes. I felt safer. He knew I was freaking out so I welcomed his comfort. "I've been keeping this inside of me. I don't really want to talk about it much and this is harder enough for me to talk about but I didn't want to be rejected and I didn't want anyone to be mad at me or... well... I've known for some time that I... I'm... I'm gay," I said, breathing heavily as my eyes teared up, "I just want you guys to know I am the same person but I didn't know how to say these kinds of things or what to do and... I'm so sorry." I started to tear up. I could see all the faces looking at me. "Shit, he actually did it," Tristan said, under his breath. Ben only heard him but was still trying to figure out what was going on. My mom's eyes were full of tears and my dad looked at Lucas. "I assume you knew," my dad said, looking at Lucas, but smiling. Lucas blushed, "Uh... yes. Yes I did." My mom hugged me as I cried. I looked at Lucas, who grabbed my hand. My dad and mom caught this, piecing together the information. "Oh I see," my mom and dad said, simultaneously. "I'm so sorry," I replied. My dad stood, hugging me as well. He knelt down to my level and looked at me in the eyes. "Jacob, why would we ever be mad at you. We love you so much," my dad said. My mom smiled and nodded at my dad's statement. "We know you're the same lovable, quiet, geeky Jacob that we love. We would never reject you," my mom replied. They hugged me again as I wiped my tears. "You guys aren't mad that I had a boyfriend? That I'm gay?" I asked, looking at them. They both shook their heads. "I want you to be happy and if girls aren't your style, I'm happy to know that you have found what you like," my dad said, "And you damn well be sure that I will be happy to say and know that my son likes boys. You are normal Jacob." "Plus, you have to be comfortable with who you are. I'm so sorry you had felt that you couldn't tell us this for such a long time. I'm sorry you felt ashamed or scared. Lucas, I believe he will be the best boyfriend," my mom said. "Do you love him?" Ben asked. We all looked at Ben, who was still a little young to be fully understanding all of this. Tristan ran his fingers through his blonde in his hair, "Like those princess cartoons you see in class." "Oh...," Ben said, going up to whisper in Tristan's ear, "So that's what I heard at night." Tristan laughed, nodded, and drank some water before laughing again. I looked at them and then at Lucas, shrugging. My parents looked at Lucas. "Lucas, can we speak with you outside? You're not in trouble. We just want to talk about all this," my mom said. Lucas stood up and walked with them. I looked at Lucas and shrugged. He gave me an assuring smile before leaving. I heard clapping and I turned to see Tristan. I blushed before he started to speak, "So you finally did it. I didn't think you had it in you." "Yeah that took a lot. I'm just happy they're okay with it. But kinda nervous as well," I said. "Why? Cause they took your boyfriend outside?" Tristan replied. "Yeah pretty much," I replied, "And I hope they don't like... I don't know, shun him or something." "I mean. It's mom and dad," Tristan replied, "Sometimes I can't even take their threats seriously." "I think that's just a you thing," I replied, "You are the crazy one out of the three of us." "Do you guys make love?" I heard Ben ask. I looked at Tristan. "That's all you buddy," Tristan said, looking at your phone. "Uh... that's just between Lucas and I," I replied, "Private stuff." "Oh ok. So can I still hug him?" Ben asked. "Of course. You're not going to steal him from me are you?" I laughed. Ben shook his head, "I'm happy you're happy." I smiled, "Thanks Ben." Before I knew it, my parents and Lucas came inside. Lucas smiled, "They just asked me about make you happy and just making sure we were safe and had each other that's all. We're good." I smiled as he sat back down. "Alright so I guess that makes my promotion talk look amateurish," my dad laughed. We all laughed as we finished eating out food. As it came closer towards eight o'clock, Lucas was ready to be picked up. I walked him to the door before we made our last exchanges. "Well, that was an eventful night. We need to do yours now," I replied. Lucas nodded, "Yeah. I'm happy that they're happy that we're happy." He had to think back to what he just said before he realized he formed that sentence correctly. I laughed, "Confusing but it worked." He kissed me on the lips before running his fingers through my hair. With one hand, I grabbed onto his bicep and with the other, I placed it on his chest. "See you tomorrow?" I asked. He nodded, "Love you." "Love you too," I said, hugging him before he opened the door. I watched him get back into his car as he drove off. I walked back inside, said goodnight to everyone, and went into my room to undress, relax, and slowly fall asleep. It's funny how all the nerves build up before something big and then just get released afterwards. I loved my family. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ That's chapter 17! I'm so sorry about the long wait. I just had to get back into writing and really feel the story as I wrote it. I just hope to get the other chapters out and make this story as good as I can. Hope you all are enjoying it as much as I am and I hope to make more chapters really quickly with the same sexy feeling as always. Thanks! And don't worry, it's not over! - James
