Kurt demanded. He didn't wait for an answer. "Come on Matt, we'll be late for Bowder." He turned and left, assuming I would follow. I did. Before I reached the door I turned back to Aaron who was watching with a frown. "I guess we need to talk huh? Come over to my place `bout five if you want to talk." I left. The rest of the day was a bit of a blur, the only thing I noticed was that Kurt was acting fairly cold towards me. He hardly talked to me all day but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to deal with his shit at the moment. Aaron had almost kissed me! Well I think. I spent the whole day torn between elation and self-doubt. Maybe he hadn't tried to kiss me. I guess I would find out this afternoon. I thought about going straight home instead of going to Mick's but figured if it went badly at least I had pot to fall back on. Mick's place was a bit of a wreck. He lived next to the garage where his dad worked and there were old cars in all states of decay in his driveway and on the block next to his house. I remembered as kids we use to play in some of the car wrecks and have crazy adventures. I knocked on his door and waited. Mick's sister answered. "Oh, hi Matt. Haven't seen you around for ages. What have you been up to?" Alice was a really nice girl and she had babysat me a few times when I was younger. She was kinda like a sister to me. "Not much. School and shit, a few gigs. What about you? Going to Uni still?" I asked leaning on the doorframe. Alice was studying Nursing at Latrobe University. "Yeah, nearly finished. Suppose you're looking for Mick? He's in his room." I grinned and gave her a quick hug. "Nice seeing you again." She smiled back. "Yeah mate. Promise to come around and visit more often huh?" "Sure Alice!" I made my way through to Mick's room out the back. Mick was lying on his bed reading some futuristic looking sci-fi book. He saw me and put the book down. "Man, this shit fucked up. Real crazy." I smiled. "Yeah?" "So Matty boy. You want a gram?" He reached under his bed and pulled out an old school weetbix tin. Inside were all sorts of drug paraphernalia. He fished out an already prepared baggy, grinned at me then shoved some more in and handed it over. "For old times sake man." I handed him a twenty, which he pocketed. "Thanks Mick." "Hey sorry I can't hang round and smoke with ya but I gotta go to work in fifteen minutes." Mick apologized. I was kinda glad cause I didn't want to face Aaron stoned. Shit, Mick works? Who the fuck would hire him? He must have seen my face cause he laughed. "Yeah I know. It's me dad. Wants me to help out at the garage. But hang round til I gotta go yeah?" We sat and chatted for a bit. Mick was a funny guy with some bizarre ideas about the world the universe and everything. I was waiting nervously inside for Aaron to turn up or not. Oh god was he going to come? I was quietly freaking out as I paced the living room floor and took furtive peaks out the window. I let out a frustrated groan. Ok maybe not so quiet. I watched the clock and groaned again. I swear I had been waiting ages and the damned thing didn't even look like it moved. I took a deep breath and resumed pacing. It was five after five. He wasn't coming, I just knew it. I sighed and slumped on the couch. I had gone into a frantic rush when I got home from Mick's. I had caught a tram back home from Mick's and felt all sweaty. I had a shower then had to restyle my hair, redo my eyeliner and dress in strategically tight clothes, ones that made me look sexy without looking like I had tried as hard as I actually had. All this for nothing. That's when the doorbell rang. My heart jumped and I felt instantly nervous. Shit, shit, shit. I opened the door to see him standing there all sexy and hot. He had changed out of his school uniform and was wearing army green cargo shorts and a red billabong t-shirt. He was smiling at me and I melted. I smiled shyly back. What the fuck? I wasn't shy. "Can I come in?" He asked after a suitable pause and I blushed suddenly thrown off guard. "Oh um, yeah sure." I shut the door behind him and turned to say something when I was pushed hard against the door. Aaron leant into me, his leg going between mine and his mouth landing on my own. He was passionate and intense as he forced my lips open and I melted completely against him. I couldn't think, all I knew was this was not what I expected. His tongue fought with mine then retreated and I followed it back into his mouth, exploring. Aaron's hands went up my shirt and massaged my sides. I reached up and ran my fingers through his curly brown hair, pulling his head closer to me. I was becoming just as passionate and aggressive as he had been now I was over the shock. Aaron moaned into my mouth as his hands moved to cup my arse bringing our hips into full contact. I groaned in the back of my throat when I felt his hard cock trapped in his pants rub against mine. Aaron broke the kiss and we stared into each other's eyes, panting and still pressed tightly together. "It wasn't just a dream, was it?" I shook my head. "It was about you." "Really?" His smile was a bit too cocky. I slid my hand up his shirt then raked my nails down his back. He moaned quietly and pressed more urgently against me. "God it was such a turn on to walk around with your sexy nail marks on my back." He kissed me again, hard and demanding so I answered in kind. He cupped my arse again, lifting me slightly and I wrapped my legs around his waist using the door and his shoulders for support. "Oh fuck! I've been dreaming of this, wanting this so bad. You're so sexy Matt, you're like a walking orgasm." Aaron whispered hoarsely into my ear. Oh god! I nearly came in my pants hearing that! I laughed quietly though when he groaned as I tightened my legs. It was a powerful feeling. "You're enjoying this aren't you? You've had me flustered and acting stupid for days. Especially after waking up to you straddling my leg. Fuck, I've used that in every jerk off fantasy since and believe me I rubbed myself raw." Aaron was slowly and deliberately thrusting against me. I grinned at him wickedly. "Not too raw I hope." I tightened my legs again. Aaron had a glazed wild look in his eyes. "Oh god!" Just then I heard the distinctive sound of my mum's Subaru pulling up in our drive. "Shit! Mum!" I dropped my legs from his waist. Aaron looked kind of shell shocked as I grabbed him and raced for my room. We kissed frantically then pulled back and tried to look presentable. I was sure my lips were bright red from kissing, in fact they felt a little bruised. Aaron's hair was all messed up and he tried to neaten it up. "Matt? Can I get a hand with the groceries?" Mum yelled from the living room. "Coming!" I gave Aaron one last peck then we both went to help my mum. Mum was pleasantly surprised to see Aaron back and gave me a knowing look. I wondered if she has guessed. Flustered I tried to keep a bit of distance between us but we seemed to be brushing against each other at every chance. As soon as we had a chance we retreated to my room. I put on some loud music; I don't even remember what it was. Turning, I saw Aaron sitting on my bed watching me. What was it with this guy that made me feel like a wanton whore? At the moment though I didn't care. I smirked at him as I moved closer, staying just out of reach. I rubbed my stomach with a hand, raising the bottom of my shirt showing a tantalizing stretch of skin. Aaron swallowed hard. "My brother knew." He blurted out randomly. I stopped moving and stared at him. "Huh?" "The minute he saw you. He knew. He kept telling me to go for it but, no offence, you're kinda intimidating. I kept chickening out." "Your brother knows I'm gay? How the fuck?" I was freaking out a bit. Did I have a big G tattooed on my head? "Oh Kane has an awesome gaydar. He's not even gay but he can pick `em at 100 meters." Oooook. Strange. I couldn't tell if someone was gay if my life depended on it. I flopped down next to him and sighed. "Why does it have to be so hard to be gay?" I looked at the lecherous expression on his face and frowned. "Don't say it." He smiled softly at me, laying down next to me, his head propped up on his arm. "I dunno babe. Maybe in twenty years it will be different. Maybe in a hundred years." I grinned at him. "You called me babe." He blushed then smiled. "You are." I groaned and shoved him for being so corny and he laughed. Aaron had to go home soon after cause his mum was expecting him. We kissed goodnight for quite some time. After he left I sort of floated into the living room and flopped down on the couch. Oh my god, Aaron liked me. Mum came in and sat down next to me. "So you guys finally worked it out huh?" I stared at her then quickly said. "Yeah, we're friends again." She just laughed and shook her head. "Friends? Friends with privileges or boyfriends?" "Wha^Å? Mum!" She knew. Was there anything she didn't know? She was obviously ok with it and after a moment I smiled at her. "Boyfriends." She gave me a big hug. "Thanks for admitting it but I've known for a while." Holy shit! I did have a massive G tattooed on my forehead. "How?" "Well the last girl I remember you talking about was that Melissa or Melinda girl five years ago and you were so disgusted it was funny. That clued me in to the possibility. I knew for sure when I saw^Å well lets say you don't cover your tracks very well on the computer." She was grinning when she said the last part and I felt as if my face was on fire. She saw that? Fuck. "Mum can I ask you a favour? Can we never speak of this again?" I was feeling a bit mortified. She was giggling now. "Oh teenagers are so easy to embarrass!" "Well maybe you're just too embarrassing!" I stuck my tongue out. She stuck hers out back at me and I rolled my eyes. God she was so immature. "Oh that reminds me. Your father hasn't seen your lip ring yet so be gentle with him." Mum got up and went into the kitchen. "You didn't tell him? Aww mum he's going to give both of us lectures!" God could the hell that was coming this weekend get any worse. I spoke too soon. "Oh and his new girlfriend and her children are going to be there." She added ducking her head around the door. "Muuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm! Do I have to go! It's going to be torture." I whined. "Yep. Sorry Kiddo." The next morning I felt excited about seeing Aaron again and for the first time ever I didn't have to run for the bus. At school I looked around for Aaron but couldn't see him so I just went to my locker. Someone tapped my shoulder and I spun around smiling big. Kurt looked surprised at my response then hurt and annoyed when I stopped smiling and blurted out, "Oh!" "Oh? Thanks a lot Matt, nice to see you too!" "Sorry Kurt! You surprised me!" "Who were you expecting?" He was still pouting. "No one." I grinned at him. "Aww don't get jealous! I still love ya!" I wrapped an arm around his shoulders. As I looked up I saw Aaron watching with a slight frown on his face as he stood with a group of guys. I smiled at him and he smiled back but still looked a bit pissed. Oh well no love lost between Kurt and Aaron that was for sure. Kurt smiled happily at me and was extremely cheerful, well as cheerful as Kurt got, all day. At lunch Aaron joined us and the tension sky rocketed. Kurt just ignored him and was talking happily to Abby and Jay. Yaz was telling me about this movie she had seen and all I was thinking about was having a hardcore make out session with Aaron. That afternoon Aaron drove us to his house. He kept glancing at me as we drove. I looked back but the expression on his face made me a bit nervous. He didn't look too happy. Finally I asked him what his problem was. "Kurt looked happy today." Was all he said. "You're pissed cause Kurt looked happy? I know you guys don't get on but don't you think that's a little year nine?" I was feeling a bit insecure so I snapped at him. "I'm not unhappy that Kurt is happy but why was he happy? He's never happy." I blinked. What the fuck? "All I heard was happy." He sighed. Reaching over he rubbed my knee. I forgot about what we were talking about and wondered how long it was until we got to his place. I smiled over at him, deliberately licking my lips. Aaron swerved a bit and gave me a dirty look. God I loved the fact I had so much power over him. Consequently there was a silence in the car and an increase in sexual tension as Aaron kept rubbing my knee. Can we be at his house already? When he pulled up in his driveway the both of us hurried inside. Aaron threw a greeting at his mum and mentioned we had a project to work on. Project? Once his door was closed and locked Aaron basically picked me up and dumped me on his bed. He ripped off his school shirt and turned on his stereo as I admired his chest and back muscles. He was fairly buff and judging about how he lifted me so easy, he was strong too. Fuck I wanted to run my tongue over his chest. Aaron crawled up the bed until he hovered over me. "I have been half hard all day thinking of you. Of this." He leaned down and kissed me hard. I wrapped my arms around him pulling him against me. We kissed for ages but were interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Aaron quickly put a shirt on, I sat up tried to look innocent, holding a pillow in my lap. Kane stood at the door grinning. "I thought you would never get the balls to do it. By the way your shirts on inside out." Aaron went bright red. "Shut up man." Kane just laughed. "Just checking. So have fun kids!" He closed the door again. Aaron looked at me. "Sorry about him. I think he got defective genes at birth. Or mum dropped him on his head." I smiled and motioned him over to me. Aaron climbed on top of me, kissed me and then paused. "Why do you think Kurt was so happy today?" he was watching my face for a reaction. "Don't know, and at the moment I don't care." I whispered. He smiled and kissed me again. "You aren't the most observant person are you?" Aaron said with a smile. What? Is he trying to insult me now? I narrowed my eyes at him. "I am too." Yeah real mature Matt. Aaron smiled indulgently. "Uh huh. Babe, if I say something do you promise not to freak out?" I frowned and agreed suspiciously. He kissed me and smiled. "Ok, I'm pretty sure^Å well 90% sure that^Å well^Å that Kurt has a crush on you." I stared at him for a moment then laughed. "Don't be dumb Aaron." Aaron frowned. "I'm not. He's jealous of me." I pushed Aaron off me and got up. "Cocky aren't you? The world doesn't revolve around you and hot you think you are! Kurt is my friend! We've been friends for years!" Aaron got up looking pissed off. "It's not my fault you're as observant as a block of wood! Stop being so naïve!" A block of wood? Naïve? "Fuck you Aaron! I didn't realize you thought so little of me! At least I found out now not weeks down the track!" "You're the one who thinks I'm arrogant!" "I'm going home." I stormed towards the door but Aaron stopped me. "No! Wait baby. Not like this. I'm sorry ok?" His eyes pleaded with me but I was too pissed off. I pulled away from him. I had to think. "Look, I have to go." "I'll drive you!" "No. I'll catch the bus thanks." I left the house still feeling like punching something. Kurt didn't like me! The thing that hurt the most though was what he had said. I wasn't stupid and I wasn't naïve. It was getting dark by the time I got home. I had to catch the bus into the city then catch a tram back out to my place. "Matt? Are you ok? Aaron's been calling non-stop for ages. He said you had a fight." Mum looked worried. She wrapped her arms around me. "He sounded quite shocked that I knew about you two." I had forgotten to tell him that. I felt tears come to my eyes. "Mum, he called me dumb and naïve." I ranted at her. "He told me Kurt has got some crush on me! He doesn't even know Kurt!" Mum led me into the living room and sat next to me on the couch. "Oh honey. You need to think about this. I know Kurt. I've seen him around you and the way he acts. He likes you, maybe even loves you. You don't notice it because you aren't looking for it, not because you're dumb." I was frozen. Kurt liked me. He was like a brother to me. Why did everything get screwed up? The phone started ringing again.
