(Chapter 4) by Jtoxic The next morning, I was awakened by the sound of Logan's parents leaving for work. His dad ran a construction business and often left quite early for the office. They reminded Logan to pick up a few things from the grocery store. Since it was considered "inappropriate" for us to sleep together in Logan's room, I slept in the adjacent guest room. If they only knew what went on before I ended up in the guest room... Noticing it was barely 7:00 AM, I tried to go back to sleep. A couple of minutes went by and I heard the door to my room being opened quietly. It had to be Logan so I pretended to be asleep. He sat down on the bed lightly. I felt his hand brush against my ribs and across my bellybutton. Then he gently rested his hand on my stomach. The warmth from his hand sent a tingling sensation to my groin. Strangely, I didn't have a morning hard-on but Logan's touch was enough to get one going. I felt my dick stiffening under the boxer briefs. He moved his hand down and gave my dick a delicate squeeze. Not wanting to appear I was "easy", I rolled onto my side, facing away from him. He climbed in behind me and pressed his body against mine. He was warm and very hard. "Wake up, sleepy head," he whispered into my ear. I playfully pushed my butt against his boner, causing him to let out one of his 'little noises'. Before I could protest further, his hand was in my underwear grasping my dick and balls. "We need to get up. I told Megan I'd give her a ride at 8," Logan explained. I could have laid there forever with him holding me close to his body. But I felt... jealous. Megan was one of the girls from school he went out with. I knew Logan and I weren't boyfriends but I wanted him for myself. The thought of sharing him with a girl suddenly became unbearable. It didn't make sense, but then nothing seemed to make sense anymore after yesterday. I pulled his hand away and sat up. Logan thought I was still playing and tried to reach for my crotch again. I got up and walked briskly to the bathroom. There was a mirror covering almost the width of the wall facing me. My dick was still semi-hard as I stood over the toilet. Entering the bathroom, he studied my reflection in the mirror. He maneuvered his way behind me and held my dick just as I was starting to piss. I always hated that because it's very difficult to pee with someone holding your dick. By the time my bladder was empty, I was hard again from Logan's fiddling. I flushed the toilet and tried to take my briefs off before getting into the shower. He wouldn't let me. Instead, he pulled me over by the sink and pinned me against the counter. He lowered the front of my briefs until it was just below my balls and held me there. Logan was a little taller so his chin rested comfortably on my right shoulder. Satisfied that he could see everything in the mirror, he started to jerk me off. "Don't..." I said softly but with a serious expression. He took his eyes off my dick and looked at me. "Why not?" He seemed concerned. I had never said no to him before; it was as much a surprise to me as it was to him that I told him to stop. "Do you ever think about why we do this?" I asked. He paused for a few seconds before replying, "Because it's fun and I... like it. I won't if you don't want me to." Suddenly, he looked sad. Unlike me, Logan seldom expressed his feelings or showed his emotions openly - even when we were alone. I never expected to hear him say he liked what we did. Part of me was happy that he did but I also wondered if I had asked the wrong question. The last thing I wanted to do was to put Logan through what I was going through. "No! I like it too," I quickly replied. Upon hearing that, he was back to his assertive self again. He began massaging my shoulders and said, "We both like it so quit worrying..." "Yeah," I replied with my head hanging low. He didn't seem to have any problem dealing with it. Maybe he already knew and accepted his sexual orientation. But is he bi or... gay? The mere thought of bringing up the "g" word in our conversation scared the hell out of me. So I improvised. "Do you do it with other guys?" I asked, avoiding eye contact. Taken aback by my question, his hands suddenly stopped massaging my shoulders. I looked up in the mirror and noticed he had a wide grin on his face. He moved his face next to mine and whispered, "You're the only one. Ok?" When I was 13, I showed my dick to another guy in a truth or dare. That was the only other time anyone had seen my dick up-close (aside from doctors). I guess that meant Logan was my 'only one' as well. Feeling kinda happy, I nodded and blushed. "Can I play with this now??" he whispered again. He wasn't really asking for permission. I had lost my hard-on during our little chat but his hand was already playing with my dick again. I shrugged as he continued rubbing my dick back to its erect state. Then I felt his left hand grabbing my balls. The warmth from his hand sent a new sensation through my body and he began jerking me off in earnest. After a few minutes, I spurted a few strings of cum over the sink. I wasn't really into it because my mind was going back and forth about what we had just discussed. Nonetheless, an orgasm is an orgasm - it felt great! After recovering from it, he led me into the shower. For the first time, I wondered what it would be like to give someone a blowjob... or to get one. Logan and I had never done it. 'Will he let me? Will he like it?' While I was soaping him up, I kept trying to think of a way to ask him. He was leaning against the wall in the shower as I jerked him off. Since I was kneeling on one knee in front of him, his dick was very close to my face. Several times, I took a deep breath and almost went for it. I started to tremble in nervousness. Luckily, the water from the shower splattering on my back masked it. Then, as if to put me out of my misery, Logan tensed up. He was cumming. We got dressed and rushed out of the house - he was running late for his 8 o'clock rendezvous with Megan. He made me leave because of Megan! *sigh* Logan dropped me off at my house around 7:40 AM. It felt strange as I had not been up that early for the past month or so. The morning air was surprisingly refreshing. I went into the kitchen to get a glass of milk just as my mom walked up to me. "Morning, dear. Special plans for today?" she asked, indicating I was up early. "Nah, Logan had to give some girl a ride at 8," I grumbled. "Oh, ok. Your father and I are attending a dinner function tonight. Will you be..." "Sure, mom. Have fun!" I interrupted. She was about to ask if I could get my own dinner. I've had dinners by myself or with friends more often than with them so I don't know why she bothered to ask. I always dreaded the silence whenever we had dinner together anyway. Somehow, I don't think eating at the dinner table in silence counts as spending quality time together. Back in my room, I looked at the time on the wall. It was almost 8:00 AM. Logan gave me the projection alarm clock on my birthday last year. He has one just like it in his room. As I thought about him and what he meant to me, images of him and Megan kept popping into my head like a nightmare. Without realizing, I picked up a CD from the computer desk and threw it across the room, hitting the red numbers on wall. The case disintegrated on impact. It was my favorite Eminem CD! Fuck! Logan and Megan... Megan and Logan... aaaahhh! It was driving me nuts. I decided to go online and frag people instead, before I destroyed more of my CDs. In the middle of a frag fest, the phone started ringing. There's no "pause" button in a multiplayer game so I had to watch myself being blown to pieces by a newbie. I glanced over to the Caller ID display and saw it was Rick. 'Damn it, Rick!' I said to myself before answering. "Hey," I greeted. "What's up, Jono?!" Rick said in all his cheerfulness. "Nothing. You just got me blown up by some dumb ass newbie!" We played online together quite often. He laughed, knowing he had just ruined my game. "Can I come over?" "Yeah, sure. Where ya at?" From the background noise, I knew he wasn't at home. "7-11. Don't worry, Sean's not with me," he snickered. "Alright, get your ass over here then!" I said, pretending I didn't hear Sean's name being mentioned. The 7-11 store was right near the park so it would take Rick less than 5 minutes to get to my house. I looked at the time and realized I had been playing online for nearly 3 hours! It felt like only 30 minutes ago when I started. Once again, the clock reminded me of Logan and I wondered what he and Megan were doing at that moment... Man, I really need to get a new clock! I decided to change since I was still wearing the shirt and jeans from last night. I stripped down to my birthday suit and put on a fresh pair of boxer shorts. Unable to decide what to wear, I headed to the kitchen to get something to drink as I was thirsty. I unlocked the front door on the way so Rick could let himself in. Moments later, the door bell rang. "It's open!" I yelled from the kitchen, wondering how Rick could've arrived so quickly. "Hello?" a man's voice boomed into the house through one of the windows. I was still standing at the fridge, in my underwear, trying to pick something to drink. I quickly turned around and went to the door to see who it was. Without realizing I was half-naked, I opened the door. It was a FedEx guy delivering a package for my dad. He was wearing some cool shades. "Good morning. Can you sign here please?" he pointed at the pad he was holding. I felt his eyes checking me over behind those tinted shades and suddenly became intensely aware of my nakedness. I quickly signed the pad. "Thanks," I said, as he handed me the package. "Thank YOU! Have a nice day!" he replied and left. I left the door open and threw the package near the stairs where my dad would notice when he returned. Walking back to the kitchen, I started thinking about the FedEx guy. Was he really checking me out? Nah!! But had he made a pass at me, would I...?? SHIT! Realizing what a sicko I was for thinking that, I mentally slapped myself. 'I'm REALLY not cut out for this "being gay" stuff.' Not only was I totally confused about everything, I was beginning to look at everyone with a dick in some sick sexual way! I grabbed a Pepsi and ran back to my room. Rick walked in just as I was removing a shirt from the closet. "You done whacking off yet?" Rick jested when he saw me standing there in my boxers. That's what straight guys were supposed to say to one another in that kind of situation. (I wonder what gay guys are supposed to say...) "No, you wanna do it for me?" I threw the standard reply back at him. Then silence. (Did he say YES in his mind? If he... Would I...? Oh for fuck sake, STOP IT!!!!) "You feel like going to the mall today?" he asked. "Sure, let's go," I replied hurriedly, so as not to give myself any time to look at Rick and think about sick stuff, or rape him with my eyes again. We got up and left. It was about a 15 minute walk to the mall. We couldn't skate there because they were very strict about having no skaters anywhere near it. Halfway there, Rick told me his parents would be getting him his own car when school began in fall. He was really excited because it meant he could go anywhere with Stefanie. He didn't mention us being able to go anywhere. *sigh* I was happy for him, but I also figured he probably wouldn't have time to hang out with me then anyway. We arrived at the mall and slowly strolled by each store, heading for the arcade. We came up to a hobby store and stopped to look at the display. There were a bunch of stuff up front; the latest games, techno toys and gadgets. When we looked up, we saw a huge RC airplane suspended in mid-air, turning ever so slowly. It wasn't there when we were at the mall last week. It was a WWII Japanese Zero. Rick seemed captivated by it. I knew he had a great interest in WWII airplanes because he told me all about them during our Outward Bound trip (when he wasn't busy talking to Stefanie). His dream was to fly a WWII plane one day. I remember telling him I would shoot down his clunky old plane with an F-16. He looked at me in horror, as if I had said something sacrilegious to the Pope. I had no idea why I said it; I was barely 14 then! He preferred WWII German planes but at the moment, he was drooling over the Zero like it was Stefanie standing naked in front of him. Knowing he probably wanted to go in anyway, I said, "Let's go in." He was inside admiring the plane from every angle before I realized he wasn't even standing next to me anymore. During the past month, Rick spent a lot of time with me because Stefanie was off visiting with relatives in Europe. Rick knew I didn't like Sean so he would call me up to hang out at the mall or the water park by ourselves. Sometimes Sean would show up at the last minute (probably because Rick told him to) but I'd make an excuse and refuse to go. Rick figured it out and stopped inviting Sean whenever he wanted to hang out with me. I probably put him in tough spot because he and Sean were good friends. It wasn't that I wanted to be alone with Rick - I simply couldn't stand listening to Sean if I didn't have to. "THAT is awesome!" Rick remarked with his eyes drooling on the Zero. With all the confusion and sick things going on in my mind, I thought, 'What better way to forget everything than by spending my dad's money?' I moved quietly away from Rick and walked towards the middle-aged man behind the counter. He looked like he was the owner of the store. Noticing my approach, he greeted me and asked, "Is there something I can help you with?" I checked to make sure Rick wasn't looking and pointed at the Zero. "How much is that?" The store owner told me it was $140 for the kit, but the motor, battery and radio controller would be extra. He suggested I bought the kit and put it together first. Then he would look the plane over to make sure it'll fly. After that, we can buy the rest of the stuff and he'd help us put the whole thing together. I guess he knew we needed help with it. (It was either that or he thought Rick and I were cute...) I thanked him and walked back to where Rick was. Standing behind Rick, I said, "Let's get it!" "What??" Rick turned around bewildered, but excited. He stared at me intently to see if I was serious. "We can build it together!" I said, trying to match his excitement. "Yeah, but..." he started saying. "Don't go anywhere!" I headed for the ATM machine. Cool, there's no line. I whipped out my trusty card and punched in the PIN number. 'How much do I need?' I figured $160 ought to cover it. I added $20 for food and stuff. My parents spent more than that every meal so why should they care? 1-8- 0 . Grabbing the cash it spewed out, I ran back to the store. Rick followed me with his eyes, still wondering if I was really going to buy the Zero. It wasn't until I handed the money over that he finally joined me at the counter. "Are you crazy?" Rick whispered, but he had a huge smile on his face. "Why not? It'll be cool putting it together!" I smiled back. "Sweet!" was all he managed to say. He was bursting with excitement and couldn't wait to get his hands on what's inside the huge box. He wanted to take it home immediately. The Zero had a wing span of over 4 feet; we needed a pretty big surface to work on it. Rick suggested we used the old beat up dining table in his basement. I only nodded in agreement because he already seemed to have everything worked out in his mind. We took a cab to his house since it was a lot farther away from the mall than mine. The moment we arrived, he disappeared with the box into his basement. He didn't even wait for me! It was as if his house was on fire and the box was the only thing in the world that could save it. Seconds later, Rick was already into the content of the box. All I heard was "wow" and "cool" as he examined every piece. I had never seen him so excited over a toy before... and he's older than me! Just as I was about to join Rick in his excitement, I saw Justin sticking his head into the basement for a peek. He was standing a few steps up from the bottom of the stairs - almost as if he was forbidden to enter the basement. Justin is Rick's younger brother. Even though Rick and I have been friends for some time, I had never talked to Justin. They didn't get along so it was like an unwritten rule which said I couldn't talk to Justin because I was Rick's friend. They fought so often that their mom even threatened to throw them out if they didn't stop. Whenever I came over to their house with Rick, Justin would run upstairs to his room or go outside and play with his dog. He avoided Rick and me at all costs. Several times though, I thought I noticed him glancing at me before taking off. I didn't think anything of it since I was Rick's friend, and his 'enemy' was my enemy. Until now... For the first time, Justin looked directly at me and I actually saw a smile. He quickly turned his head and focused on the box Rick seemed to be totally engrossed in. His eyes widened. He was finally standing still long enough for me to look at him. He's almost 15, about 5'8", 125 lbs. He had on a white t-shirt and navy blue shorts. Like Rick, he had brown hair and blue eyes. My mind started to chant, 'He's so cute!' Realizing what I was doing AGAIN, I quickly snapped out of it. Justin hadn't moved since Rick was too busy with the Zero to notice him standing in the stairwell. All of a sudden, as if someone had taken over my brain, I said out loud, "Hey Justin!" Surprised I had said something to him, Justin looked briefly at me and lowered his eyes. "Hi!" he answered shyly. His voice almost knocked me over. It was the cutest thing I'd ever heard - even if it was only one syllable! Immediately, Rick stood up straight and looked around. Having found his target, he glared at Justin. It was enough to make Justin disappear up the stairs. 'Damn! Why did I do that?? Now he's gone!' I cursed myself. I turned to look at Rick but his attention was already on the Zero again. "What's up with you and Justin anyway?" I asked, rather annoyed that he had taken away the chance for me to talk to Justin. "He's an IDIOT!" Rick yelled, telling me it wasn't open to discussion. Then he said, "Let's get started!" 'Oh well,' I said to myself and joined Rick in examining what's in the box. There were several sheets of paper outlining all the parts and how they fit together. It looked like we'll be spending a lot of time putting the Zero together. We laid out all the big pieces on the table to resemble what was depicted in the instructions. There were still a million smaller pieces which we had no idea where they were supposed to go. We put all those back in the box. It was close to 1:00 PM and I was getting hungry. I told Rick I'd pay for a pizza. He reluctantly left our 'assembly area' to order it. I took the opportunity to go outside and stretch my legs. Rick joined me and we sat under a shaded area near the pool to wait for the pizza. While we were talking about what color the Zero should be and where we were going to fly it, we heard the pizza guy pull up. We went inside just as the door bell rang. Justin ran downstairs, probably thinking it was one of his friends and opened the door. When he saw Rick with me and the pizza guy at the door, he gave me his usual 'glance and run' routine. He took double steps up the stairs and disappeared. I started to wonder what his room looked like. Rick's room was right around the corner on the ground floor so I had never been upstairs. I paid the pizza guy after Rick got the pizza and went into the kitchen. Rick returned with a couple of sodas. Without wasting any time, we started tearing into the double-pepperoni with extra cheese pizza. With each bite, I kept thinking about Justin. The smile from his cute little lips, his shy voice... "Justin! You want some pizza?" I yelled, hoping he would hear me. Rick looked at me as if I had gone completely nuts for inviting his little brother. I didn't care - I needed MORE Justin! "What?? It's only pizza..." I pleaded with Rick, trying to make it sound like a good reason for inviting Justin. Rick growled like he normally would when he didn't like what I was doing. I heard footsteps and then Justin appeared at the kitchen table! He put his hands into his pockets and stretched his arms. I couldn't help but smile at him. Rick stood up, grabbed his soda, another slice of pizza and left for the basement. I felt bad but was powerless to say anything - my brain had turned to jello with Justin standing there so close to me. I looked at him and said, "Go ahead." "Thanks!" he smiled and picked up a slice of the pizza. He must have felt awkward standing there so he sat down across the table from me. I stared at him when he wasn't looking, absorbing all the details the brief moment afforded. I have never been so attracted to anyone before. I didn't think about sex, or love, or anything. I was simply drawn to him. I wanted to be near him. I had absolutely no control over it. Even the conflict inside me didn't seem to matter anymore. I'm not a shy guy and usually have no problem starting a conversation, even with adults. With Justin sitting there, I kept trying to think of something to say but nothing would come up. The silence was unbearable! I could see he was becoming uncomfortable too. Finally, I managed to ask, "Did you see the plane we got?" He looked at me and said, "Yeah. Will it fly?" He voice was more assertive and he looked somewhat serious - like he was talking to a guy he had just met. I guess in a way we did meet for the first time. "I hope so!" I replied with a smile. He smiled back. We were done eating so we stood up. I had to think of something to say before he disappeared again. "Wanna help us build it?" I asked, holding my breath. He thought for a moment. Shrugging slightly, he started to say, "Umm..." I knew he probably didn't want to because of Rick, but I couldn't let the perfect opportunity slip by. "It'll be fun!" I added, motioning him to head for the basement. I hurried down the stairs, not wanting to give him a chance to turn me down. Rick was hovering over the table, arranging the wing frames and fuselage. When he saw Justin following behind me, he slammed the piece of paper he was holding onto the table. "He's not staying!" Rick shouted, pointing at Justin. Rick had never been really angry at me before. His eyes were filled with rage and seemed to be accusing me of having stabbed him in the back. He looked hurt and angry. I was very dismayed by his reaction and several seconds passed before I recovered. "Come on, Rick. It's gonna take the three of us to put this thing together... before school starts," I said as convincingly as possible. He stared at me and then looked at all the parts on the table. Without saying a word, he picked up the instruction sheet again. I took it that he was willing to let Justin hang around. Rick probably realized it was going to take a lot of work from us to get the Zero in the air. Also, they both went to the public school nearby, which started a week earlier than mine. We really didn't have that much time. Breathing a sigh of relief, I looked over to Justin. He was standing next to me motionless and emotionless. I guess he was just as surprised that Rick had agreed to let him stay. "So... what do we do first?" I asked cheerfully, trying to ease the tension. To be continued.... ================================= NEXT: Jono is THE Devil! About names: Sorry I messed up a name in the last chapter. I write with their real name first and then do a search and replace when I'm done. Guess I screwed up and missed one. It's easier for me to write about them when their names correspond to what's known to my brain! About this story: Not sure if I'm putting people to sleep, especially with this chapter. Let me know??
