Bill FATHER AND SON BONDING Chapter 2 "I'm happy that Joe seems to be thawing and allowing me to get closer," Callum said to himself as he ate lunch with his son. "Last night I thought that might be impossible." "This is good," smiled Joe as he tucked into the stir-fried meal he had helped prepare. Callum smiled back as he chewed and thought, "Joe should smile more often. He's a very good-looking lad. If he was a few years older, I might be chasing after him." Then he visibly jerked back. "What am I doing thinking that? He's my son!" "Something wrong?" Joe asked with a look of concern. "No. I...erm, just remembered that I need to phone one of my clients later," replied Callum. As Joe returned to his food, Callum relaxed a little. "I need to be careful. I'll have to tell him sometime that I'm gay but this is not the time." "Do you have any food hates?" Callum asked. "Not really," replied Joe. "Well, apart from liver and kidney. I eat most things." "That's something we agree on, although I do like liver p‰tŽ," smile Callum. "It's good that I won't have to worry when I go food shopping." "Our tastes in music are likely to be quite different," suggested Joe. "You will be into bagpipes." Callum laughed. "Bagpipe music is great at a distance but it's not something I listen to at home. Actually I like quite a variety of music. My CD collection includes classical, ballads, rock and pop." "CD's? Of course, you're Mum's generation. I normally stream music onto my phone," said Joe. Callum shook his head and smiled. "You must think I'm ancient." "No, of course not," said Joe. "We just do some things differently." He paused and then asked, "How old are you?" "Forty-one. Very old," replied Callum. "Rubbish! You're in your prime," responded Joe. "You look very fit to me." "Thanks. I try to look after myself," smiled Callum. "I think you look great," said Joe. Callum smiled and thought, "If I didn't know better, I'd almost think he was flirting with me." Joe meantime stared at his plate and asked himself, "Why did I say that? Is it normal for a boy to tell his father he looks great?" "What do you feel like doing this afternoon? I've got some drawings I need to work on but I could postpone that until tomorrow if you want us to do something together," Callum said to Joe. "You took time off to show me around this morning," said Joe. "I'm happy to read a book or go online this afternoon. I'd like to take a walk in the garden and get some fresh air first though. It's a beautiful day." Then he stood up and said, "I'll wash the dishes." "Since you're doing chores, I guess that means I'll have to start giving you pocket money," said Callum. Joe laughed. "No, it's not necessary. The shops and cinemas are closed so I can't go out and spend money." "Don't you need money to download or buy stuff online?" Callum asked with a smile. "Oh yeah." Joe grinned. "Well, come to me when you want to get something online and you can use my credit card," said Callum. "Thanks...Dad." Joe still felt a bit funny saying that word. Callum poured himself another glass of water and watched Joe as he went outside into the garden. "He's a good boy. Susan has brought him up well," he said to himself. He saw Joe bend over to examine the new growth in the herb garden and thought, "Nice butt." Then he immediately felt guilty. Out in the garden, Joe was beginning to feel happy with the situation. He knew he'd soon miss seeing his mum and his grandparents but he'd hardly see them anyway in London because of the restrictions. Same too with the guys from school. With social distancing, he could easily have been limited to chatting online and he could do that from here. Joe looked towards the house and thought of his father. "He's not how I imagined him. He's quite cool actually. And very handsome. It must be wrong to fancy your dad but I can't help it." Joe peeked into the greenhouse and looked at the trays of young seedlings. "It must get hot in there during the summer. I wonder if Dad works topless. Shit! I must stop thinking about him in that way." He walked towards the apple trees which were starting to come into leaf. "Mum would love a garden like this," he said to himself. "I hope she'll be okay." At the bottom of the garden, Joe looked over the old dry-stone wall to the farmer's field and some trees in the distance. He took a deep breath and smiled. "The air is so clean and fresh up here. I love it." Then he turned and walked back towards the house. *** Joe spent the afternoon reading in his bedroom, only emerging once for some water and to check that his father was still working at his desk. It felt good to relax, although he did worry about his mother working long hours in a busy hospital down in London. There was a knock on the partly-open door and Callum poked his head in. "I'm finished work for the day and I'm about to give the chickens another feed. Would you like to come with me?" Joe scrambled up from his bed with a smile on his face. "Yeah!" "I like to feed them twice a day," Callum said. "Once in the morning when I collect any eggs and then again around this time. They will scratch around for worms and insects during the day." Joe watched fascinated as the six hens ran around pecking at the pellets and vegetable scraps Callum threw into the enclosure. "Can I feed them sometimes?" he asked. "Certainly. We can share all the jobs - even the boring ones like cleaning and laundry," replied Callum. Joe screwed up his face at that suggestion but he really didn't mind. He liked the prospect of being useful rather than a burden on someone used to living alone. As they washed their hands back indoors, Joe asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?" "No, there is nobody special in my life right now," said Callum. "Apart from you, of course. What about you? Is there a girl back in London?" "I have friends who are girls but not a girlfriend," was all that Joe replied. "What's for dinner?" The pair spent a pleasant evening preparing and cooking dinner together, eating and then watching tv. After watching the late evening news, Joe yawned and said, "I'm going off to bed now." "Okay. Come and give your old dad a hug," smiled Callum. As the pair hugged, both of them shared the same thought. It felt good. In bed a short time later, Joe squeezed his erection as he recalled the hug. "I really loved being held in his big strong arms," he said to himself as he began to wank. "He's much taller than me, probably 190 cm (6ft 3in) and muscular too. I wonder if he has a hairy chest. His arms are quite hairy so it's possible." Joe closed his eyes and smiled as recalled how his father smelled. "It would feel wonderful to have my naked body against his, to kiss and cuddle him. Then slide down to hold and then suck his big cock. He's big so his cock must be big." Joe tried to imagine what his dad's cock might look like. He had of course seen many photos of men's erect cocks on the internet but they differed quite a lot. He decided his dad's was big, thick and uncut...and promptly erupted, sending masses of cum over his chest and stomach. He smiled and decided to let the cum dry on his body - something he'd never done at home in London. Through in the living room, Callum was watching a political discussion on tv. Well, he was looking towards the screen but his mind was on Joe. He preferred young men as sexual partners but he'd never had one younger than twenty. "Now I'm turned on by a boy who's not only under the legal age of sixteen, he's my own son. It's so very wrong," he thought. "But it did feel good holding him just now. No, take your mind off him. Go online and find some porn!" And that is what he did. *** Over the next few days, the pair settled into a routine. Joe would do some schoolwork while his dad worked. They shared household chores and Joe usually watched as his father cooked, learning and hoping he would get the chance to cook soon. In the evenings they would watch tv or chat about things they had done in the past as well as various other topics, simply enjoying each other's company. On Thursday morning Joe got up earlier than normal and bumped into his father on the way to the bathroom. He apologised and stepped back, only to groan softly at the sight of his father wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. "Sorry, son. Did I wake you?" Callum asked. "Erm...um...no. I...um...just needed a pee," stammered Joe, trying not to stare at the muscular, hairy chest right in front of him. "Okay. I'm finished in the bathroom." Callum took in the sight of Joe in t-shirt and boxer shorts, admiring his slim body and smooth legs. "Erm...yeah." Finally Joe was able to move. "I'll shower and join you for breakfast soon," he said as he entered the bathroom. He locked the door and leaned against it. "He is so hot! What a body!" he thought. Then he looked down and saw that he'd suddenly become erect. "Fuck! I hope he didn't see that!" he said to himself. Getting dressed in his bedroom, Callum smiled at the recollection of the tent in Joe's boxers. "Probably just `morning wood.' It would be nice though if I was responsible for it," he thought. The encounter wasn't mentioned during breakfast. They cleaned up together afterwards and then Callum said, "I need to go out food shopping and I think it's best if you stay at home." "I understand. We must follow the rules and only go to public places when necessary," said Joe. "Will you be topping the car up with petrol as well? If you do, wear gloves if you can. I read that service stations can be a source of transmission. And wash your hands when you go into the supermarket afterwards." "Aye, okay," smiled Callum. "I'll be careful." "You'd better be. I don't want to lose you again," Joe said as he gave his dad a hug. Callum his arms around the boy, enjoying the fresh smell of shampoo. He was tempted to slide a hand down and cup Joe's bum but he resisted. Pulling away, he looked into Joe's eyes and said, "You won't if I can help it. We have spent too many years apart. Now is there anything special you'd like me to buy?" "Maybe some chocolate," smiled Joe. *** The following morning Joe was awake early again. He assumed that his father got up at the same time every day so he had set an alarm. Now he was standing by the bedroom door listening to his father in the shower. "I can't wait to see that hot body again!" he thought. Suddenly he remembered that his father hadn't been carrying any clothing the day before. "He probably sleeps naked," he said to himself before quickly pulling off his t-shirt. He heard the shower being turned off, picked up a towel to hold in front of his tented boxers and quietly stepped out into the hall. Callum's eyes opened wide when he saw his topless son in front of him. "Morning, Dad," smiled Joe, enjoying the look of surprise on the man's face before dropping his gaze to the magnificent chest and then the bulge in the towel at crotch level. Callum's voice croaked and then he said, "Morning, son. You have a fit body." "Not as fit as yours," responded Joe. His eyes were drawn to the large nipples on Callum's chest. Neither wanted to move but eventually Callum recovered. "Don't take too long in the shower," he said as he walked past his son. Joe smiled and went into the bathroom. His boy-cock was leaking pre-cum and he need a wank. Callum was soon sitting on the edge of his bed, fighting against getting an erection. "I shouldn't be turned on by my own son," he thought. "He is cute though and he has a nicely-developed body for a boy of his age. Not an ounce of fat on him and some definition is already there. Nice perky tits too." Finally Callum got moving again and was soon adjusting his semi-hard cock into a pair of tight boxer-briefs. "Fancy poached egg on toast for breakfast? The hens gave me four lovely eggs this morning," Callum said when Joe appeared in the kitchen. "That would be great, thanks," replied Joe. "Will you show me how to collect the eggs tomorrow so that I can do it sometimes?" "Of course, I can," smiled Callum. "I'll show you how to wash them too. Hens can sometimes leave them dirty and we can't afford to take chances with contamination in these lockdown days. Right?" "Yes, Dad. Clean eggs and clean hands," smiled Joe. "Good," said Callum. "What's the study plan for today?" "French first and then history, I think," Joe answered. "I have a mock exam for English Literature that I want to attempt this afternoon." "I'm pleased you're taking home study seriously and it's good to have a routine," Callum said. "I might not be able to help much if you have a problem but I'll do my best." "Thanks. The school said they hoped to put some stuff online so I'll check the website later," said Joe. "Don't you think we should set up an exercise routine as well? We can't just sit in the house all day." "Good idea!" Callum said. "We could easily go for a run in the fields nearby. How about starting later this afternoon? Say a couple of kilometres to begin with? "Sounds good to me. The hills will make it tougher than the flat ground at home," said Joe. "Fine. If you will do the dishes, I'll water and check the plants in the greenhouse before I start work, and then we'll meet up for lunch around 12.30." Callum ruffled Joe's hair and set off for the garden. "Normally I hate people touching my hair but I quite like it when he touches it," Joe thought. Then he smiled and told himself that he was crazy. *** The day went well and both father and son felt they had been productive. About 4.30pm Joe put away his books. "I'm going to get changed into my running gear. Will you be finished work soon?" "Just two more minutes and then I'll get changed too," replied Callum. Joe was stretching and warming up outside the house when Callum found him. He took a deep intake of breath at the sight of the teen in a running vest and very short shorts. "Gorgeous!" he said to himself, and then he immediately regretted having such a thought about his son. When he turned and saw his father, Joe let out an audible gasp. The sight of the man in shorts and a baggy sleeveless top was a delicious shock. He now knew for certain that father had a hairy chest and he was happy for a glimpse of the muscular, hairy thighs. "Am I so frightening?" smiled Callum. He stretched as he spoke. Joe let out a short laugh. "No, you just took me by surprise." Callum jogged on the spot for a few moments and then said, "Follow me." Little was said on the run but they both enjoyed it. Despite the cool weather, both were sweating slightly when they returned. "You can shower first but don't take too long," Callum told Joe, whipping off his top to reveal his shining torso. Joe couldn't help looking and then thinking he'd like to lick his dad's chest but he nodded and hurried into the bathroom. His cock was stiff when he entered the shower but he resisted the urge to masturbate. "Later, when I can take more time," he told himself. He hadn't taken clean clothes into the bathroom so he left with a towel wrapped around his waist. "Looking good, boy," smiled Callum who just happened to be standing outside. Joe blushed slightly but then smiled and said, "You look much better than me." He quickly went into his bedroom, leaving Callum slightly bemused. Moments later, while soaping his body in the shower, Callum wondered if Joe could possibly find him attractive. Then he dismissed the idea. "He just admires my muscles. There's no way he could fancy someone of my age, even if he is gay." *** Later that evening they were watching a drama on tv when a gay character appeared. Joe looked out of the corner of his eye to see his dad's reaction. There was no sign that his dad thought anything bad and Joe was relieved. Later in the drama two men shared a kiss and both father and son stared at the screen without making a comment, both wondering how the other felt seeing that. When the show ended, Callum said, "I enjoyed that. Fancy a cup of tea?" "No thanks, Dad. Erm, can I tell you something?" Joe said nervously. "Of course, Joe. You can tell me anything," replied Callum. Joe gulped and turned slightly to face his father. "I am gay." "Oh? Your mum didn't tell me," said Callum. He wasn't sure what else to say at that point. "She doesn't know. Well, at least I haven't told her," said Joe. "You don't mind?" "Why should I mind? You're my son so I love you whether you're gay, straight or something in between," replied Callum. He saw tears in his son's eyes and pulled him in for a hug. A few moments later he said, "I suppose I should let you know that I'm gay too. That's why your mum and I split up." Joe pulled away and looked into Callum's eyes. "Really?" Callum nodded. "And that is why I didn't fight for joint custody. In those days, there was no way a court would have allowed that with me being gay." He took Joe's hand and continued. "Your mum and I had a long talk and, although she knew how much I loved you, she insisted that I stay away from you until you were older. It wasn't easy but I agreed." "Why didn't she tell me when she was sending me to live with you for weeks, possibly months?" Joe asked. "She didn't think it was necessary," said Callum. "When she phoned me, she asked if was seeing anyone and when I said no, she said that would make it easier for me and that she didn't think you were ready to know about my sexuality. Perhaps she thought you would refuse to live with me if you knew." Joe shook his head. "She might not know I'm gay but I thought she knew I don't have any prejudices." He paused and then said, "We are okay then? We don't have to hide things from each other." "We are okay. No secrets," Callum said, pulling Joe in for another hug. "Except for the fact that I am increasingly attracted to you," he thought. Joe wondered if he should tell his dad more about his feelings for him but decided that was one secret he had to keep. No more was said about the matter that evening but both enjoyed their goodnight hug. *** Joe slept late the next morning, having wanked off twice before going to sleep. He had been very aroused knowing that his father was gay, even if he was off limits. "Hello sleepyhead," Callum called out when Joe entered the kitchen. "I've already finished my breakfast." "Sorry, I...um, it took me a while to get to sleep last night," responded Joe. "Lots to think about after the big revelations last night, eh?" suggested Callum. "I was thinking about it too and it won't change anything, other than the fact we can now talk about being gay." Joe nodded. "That's cool. Can I have corn flakes this morning?" He wasn't ready talk about the subject so early in the day. Later, over lunch, Joe was curious to know more about his father. "Why did you marry Mum if you're gay?" "I suppose I was in self-denial. Being gay wasn't as acceptable 17 years ago as it is today and I tried to ignore my attraction to men," Callum began. "I met and fell in love with your mother so we got married. The sex was okay - not great - but then you came along and I was very happy. However as time passed I knew I was living a lie and I came out to your mother. She was shocked and angry but eventually agreed that we should get divorced. That came as a relief to me but then I had to give up seeing you." "Did you find a boyfriend easily?" Joe asked. "No. Well, I wasn't looking for a serious relationship at first," replied Callum. "I had a few brief affairs in London and then I moved back here. As you can imagine, it isn't easy to meet other gay men in a small, conservative town. And finding someone special has proved to be impossible. There have been a few guys but none of them lasted." "That's a shame. Did you think about moving to a bigger city?" Joe responded. "I did but by that time I had built up a good business here," replied Callum. "I didn't want to risk not being able to support you, plus I really liked living on the edge of the countryside here." Joe squeezed his father's hand to show support. "Anyway, that's enough about me. Do you have a special boy back in London?" Joe smiled. "No. There hasn't been anyone so far. Perhaps when I'm a bit older." "Aye. A cute guy like you will be fighting them off." Callum smiled and stood up. "Now it's time to get back to work. I need to phone the local council's planning department." Joe returned to his studies but he found it hard to concentrate. He could hear his father talking on the phone and decided to take a peek into his bedroom. It was a fairly ordinary bedroom with a king-size bed and no pictures on the wall to indicate it belonged to a gay man. "I suppose he would have taken any erotic pictures down before my arrival," Joe said to himself. Then he spotted a laundry basket. Lifting the lid, he saw a pair of briefs. He picked them up and sniffed the crotch. "Joe!" A call from the living room disturbed his thoughts. He quickly dropped the briefs back into the laundry basket and hurried through to the living room. Callum was putting a jacket on. "I need to drop some stuff into the council offices. I won't be gone long," he told Joe. "Okay, Dad. I will get back to my book," said Joe. He actually had something else in mind. To be continued
