Subject: Nick and Jonathan-new beginning part 5

Thank you to all who have welcomed Nick back. The responses were
interesting. Ranging from shock to disbelief to cussing me out for leaving
it as a cliff hanger. :)

A New Beginning Part FIVE:

"Brrrah.... Crarrrah.. Chorraooooooo" came the noise.

Through the layers of sleep Nick slowly awoke, hearing the strange
noises. He groggily opened his eyes.  Staring back at him were a pair of
emerald green eyes , whiskers and a set of furry ears. Seeing that Nick was
awake, Sebastian let loose a general growl/howl in his face as way of
greeting.  Nick jumped out of bed and fell against the wall like he had
been shot.

"Damn Cat!" he said, croaking out the words. Sebastian sat there with a
smug look on his face.

Jonathan rolled over and looked at Nick on the floor.

"I see Sebastian said Good Morning" said Jonathan, scratching the cat's
ears. Sebastian squeezed his eyes shut in acknowledgment; his tail waving
back and forth.

"Good Morning my ass" said Nick, his heart still pounding. "Damn near gave
me a heart attack"

"He does that." said Jon. "Usually means he is hungry."

"Well he damn well better not get any ideas on munching down on me" said
Nick, getting up and going into the bathroom.

Jonathan rolled back over on his back smiling. Sebastian, deprived of his
first choice of a play toy stood, stretched, and walked over and sat on
Jonathan's chest and looked down expectantly. Jonathan reached up and
scratched his chest. This brought forth a rumble of purring from the
cat. He took his other hand and moved it under the covers next to him.
Like a bolt of black and silver lightening, Sebastian moved and pounced on
the moving hand. They played for about 10 minutes until Jonathan got up and
wandered into the bathroom.  He noticed that Nick was sitting on the floor
of the shower stall with the water running and cascading down over
him. Steam filled the room.

"You OK in there?" asked Jonathan, debating whether to open the stall door.

"Yeah, just thinking man" said Nick, slowly getting up. "I do my best
thinking in the shower. Used to do that at school a lot"

"Want to tell me what you are thinking about while you are using up all the
hot water?" asked Jonathan.

"Not yet" said Nick., "It's about us though"

Nick stood, turned off the shower and got out of the stall. Jonathan handed
him a towel. He watched Nick dry off and put the towel around his
waist. While Nick was standing in front of the mirror he came around behind
him.  He gently placed his hands first around Nick's waist then moving
upwards feeling the solid muscles of his abs. Jonathan could feel the first
stirrings in his cock.

"You've put on a lot of muscle in a year Nick" said Jonathan, gently
tracing the lines of the corded muscle.

"Thanks" said Nick, his mind in torment at feeling Jonathan's hands on his
body. He wanted to turn to him so badly and take him into his arms, but he
knew that neither of them was ready for that yet. His cock however, did
have other plans and, like Jonathan's started rising under the towel.

Jonathan pulled Nick to him so that his back was against his chest. He held
him tightly. "You have no idea what I'm feeling right now Nick. I want you
back in my life, but I'm not sure how to get you there."

Nick let himself melt against Jonathan and be held by him. Jonathan was the
first and only person to show him love and he had hurt him. Nick knew
this. He hadn't slept a great deal last night. He lay in bed mostly
thinking and watching Jonathan sleeping. Now, he could feel Jonathan's hard
cock pushing against his back.  How long had he dreamed of that feeling
again, to feel Jonathan's skin against his own.  His own cock swelled to a
full erection, pushing the towel apart, sticking out in full view;
unbidden, uncontrolled. Jonathan continued to hold Nick, slowly running his
hands over the muscular frame.

"I want to be there Jonathan, I don't know if you'll ever let me again
after what I've done" said Nick softly.

Jonathan's hand trailed down and unwrapped the towel from Nick. He moved
slightly, allowing it to fall to the floor. Jonathan then pulled him back
to hold him tight, their bodies, now naked, pressing against each other.

"Nick, do you want to be here now?" asked Jonathan softly into his ear.

"More then I can put into words" said Nick, his breathing irregular at the
emotions he was experiencing. For the first time since that day in Boston,
he was naked and hard with another person. He had not gone out after being
established in Hawaii. The closest he had come to sex with seeing some of
his surfer buds naked and joking in the shower playing a little grab ass;
then jerking off later when he was alone at home.  Now here was Jonathan,
the love of his life pressed against him. He was losing control fast.

"Come here" said Jonathan. He released Nick and took his hand. He led him
back into the bedroom. "Close your eyes" he said.

Nick sat on the bed and closed his eyes. Jonathan looked at him for a
moment, his long hair flowing around his shoulders, hard muscled body and
long thick cock straining.  Jonathan walked across the room and pulled
something out of the closet. He walked back and kneeled back in front of
Nick. He held something up.

"Open your eyes" he said softly.

Nick opened his eyes and focused. "Tigger" he said, his voice barely a
whisper.

"Yeah" said Jonathan. "When I was cleaning things out, I couldn't bear to
get rid of him. I'm glad I didn't. For a long time he sat on my desk."
Jonathan handed the old stuffed animal to Nick.

Nick took it gently into his hands holding it as if it was as delicate as
glass. He looked at it for what seemed like ages holding it to his chest.
Jonathan reached up and stroked his fingers through Nicks' long hair.  Nick
tilted his head and let Jonathan's fingers trace along his cheek.

"Please" Nick said softly, placing Tigger on the bed.

Jonathan stood and pulled Nick up off the bed. Their lips met softly. "I
love you Nick, I've never stopped loving you. I need you. I came too close
to losing it."

Nick pushed against Jonathan feeling the warmth of his body. "I need you
man, but I need you to be safe. Promise me you won't let anyone hurt you."

Jonathan took Nick's face in both of his hands. "You are never leaving me
again babe. We'll work this out together" He kissed Nick again, this time
with more passion. Their tongues met.  Nick grasped Jonathan hugging
him. Slowly their hips began moving of their own accord. Jonathan trailed
his tongue down Nick's neck.

"Ohhhhhh" moaned Nick.

Jonathan pulled back. "You want to continue?"

"Yeah, but I don't' know if ....." said Nick.

"I know baby. In time" said Jonathan gently kissing Nick. "But I bet we can
compromise"

"What do you mean...unghhhhhh " started Nick. He broke off as Jonathan
stroked his cock. Waves of uncontrolled pleasure swept through him. Unable
to stop himself, Nick fell forward holding onto Jonathan as his orgasm
erupted. Shot after shot of cum erupted from his cock, splattering over
Jonathan. Jonathan continued to stroke him as Nick whimpered into his
shoulder. As Nick's cock started to soften, Jonathan gently ran his thumb
over Nicks cum slit, causing him to shudder. Nick lifted his head and
kissed Jonathan.

"Oh God, that felt so good." said Nick. He reached down, sliding his
fingers through his own cum on Jonathan's stomach, and grasped Jonathan's
cock. Slow stroking him, Nick continued to kiss Jonathan; who exploded with
equal force, moaning into Nick's mouth.  He pushed Nick down on the bed,
landing on top of him. For moments neither spoke.

"Been a while" said Jonathan.

"No shit" said Nick.

Sebastian chattered at the two of them, his tail swishing back and
forth. They laughed. Jonathan got up and pulled Nick up off the bed.

"It's going to be OK Nick. We'll get it worked out" said Jonathan. He led
him back into the shower. The two entered the stall and washed each other
quietly reveling in each other's presence.

Chapter Two: Nick and Jonathan had gotten dressed and walked upstairs to
the lounge. As if by telepathy, Karen had set up a breakfast for them and
was waiting for them.

"How do you do that?" asked Nick sitting down, taking a cup of coffee.

"Good timing" said Karen, still a little shocked at seeing Nick.

She finished setting up breakfast and turned to Jonathan. "You have that
look, what have you been up to?"

"Me?" asked Jonathan. "Nothing, just thinking about Sebastian. He played
alarm clock for Nick earlier."

"Mhm" said Karen, suspiciously. "We cleared England about 20 minutes
ago. We should be touching down in about an hour and a half"

"OK thanks" said Jonathan.

She gave Jonathan one more curious look, then left.

"You know" said Jonathan between bites of his eggs, "I think the first
thing we are going to do when we touch down is get your hair cut and get it
back to the right color."

"Sounds like a plan to me" said Nick. "I want it short again"

The two chatted aimlessly during breakfast talking about random stuff.

"So, uhm like what do I do for clothes here Jon?" asked Nick pushing away
from the table. As he started to stand Sebastian ambushed him coming flying
over the corner of the table and landing on his chest, pushing him back
into the chair. He landed with Sebastian firmly in his lap.

"Well, looks like you can always wear fur" said Jonathan laughing
uncontrollably.

Nick sat there with a stunned look on his face. Sebastian looked
expectantly up at Nick. When he did not move Sebastian stretched up and
butted his head underneath Nick's chin, purring. Nick reached down and
scratched the cat. This started Sebastian purring and churring while almost
catlike dancing around his lap.

"Does he do this shit often?" asked Nick.

"Yeah sometimes" said Jonathan. "I've never seen him take to someone so
fast though. Guess he likes you"

"Wonderful" said Nick, pretending to be upset about it, but deep down
finding a love for this incredibly large fluffy cat.

"To answer your other question" said Jonathan getting up and picking up
Sebastian and flipping him upside down in his arms, admist growlings, " The
second thing we do in Lucerne after we get settled in is to get you some
clothes."

"There's no A&F there" said Nick.

Jonathan shot him a look. "You're lucky I don't make you go around in Fruit
of the Loom briefs" he said with a smile.

"Ewwwwwww" said Nick,

Laughing, Jonathan tossed Sebastian onto the couch, who went scampering
down the stairs for parts unknown. The two headed downstairs.

"Listen I got a little work to do" said Jonathan taking Nick's hand and
pulling him to him. He kissed him gently. "Why don't you go find Paul. I
think you two need to do some talking too"

Nick held onto Jonathan for a moment. "Yeah you are right" He kissed
Jonathan back. "Thanks for earlier. I didn't know how much I needed that"

"I know. I did too" said Jonathan, staring into Nick's eyes.

Chapter Three: Nick walked around the plane, marveling at how once again he
felt like he was in an office building or hotel rather then a plane
traveling 500 miles an hour and 7 miles up.  He walked towards the back of
the plane and saw Paul sleeping. He kneeled down next to the converted
chair and shook his shoulder.

"Paul?" he whispered, not wanting to wake everyone up. "Paul. comeon man, I
wanna talk"

Paul looked over and after a moment of terror he adjusted to the situation.

"What" said Paul, half awake.

"Come on up front, please man. We gotta talk"said Nick.

"All right" sighed Paul. "Gimme a few"

Nick wandered forward. He slipped downstairs to the galley to find a cup of
coffee and went back upstairs to wait for Paul. He glanced out one of the
portholes seeing the sun rise over the horizion. It occured to him that it
too was the dawn of yet again a new life for him.

About 10 minutes later, Paul knocked and entered into the front lounge. He
looked around and took a chair across from Nick.

"Well?" asked Paul.

"I don't know where to begin" said Nick.

"Try the day my leg got shattered" said Paul.

"It wasn't supposed to go down like that man" said Nick. "I knew I was
going to disappear that day, but I was told it was going to be in the
afternoon. I was plannin on leaving you in the hotel room and just walk out
of everyone's life."

"How could you even fucking do that?" said Paul.

"I had to man" said Nick, getting up pacing. "I loved Jonathan, and even
you too much to take a chance on anything happening to anyone"

"Yeah, but why man?" asked Paul, who got up off the chair and grabbed Nick
dumping him back on the couch. "Stop pacing dude. You are making me dizzy."

"My father was big into corruption and shit" said Nick. "I found his
records and turned them in. Later on it was discovered there was a bounty
on my head it was time to disappear"

"You could have told me man" said Paul. "I thought we were buds"

Nick turned around and hugged Paul. "We are man. Least I hope we still
are. You and I go way back. I couldn't let you in on it man. The less
people that knew the shit I was getting into the better."

"Like what?" asked Paul, "Like the time you were fucking that girl who
turned out to be the Chancellor's daughter?"

Nick laughed at that. "She was the closest thing I had to enjoying sex with
a female too. Randy ass bitch"

Nick led Paul over to the couch. "Listen Paul. I care about you and I love
you like a brother. I found out that you had been fucked up during my
disappearance it hurt like hell. I told them they had to help you but they
said it couldn't be done. Nothing could be done to give anyone any ideas
that I was still alive."

"Chris died man" said Paul. "How do you live with that?"

"By thinking about it everyday" said Nick. "He wasn't supposed to die. We
figured he would try to do something, just not jump out in front of the
jeep. The driver tried to swerve and just clip him but he pushed me out of
the way and I dunno, he got nailed."

"So, what happens now man?" asked Paul.

"I honestly don't know dude" said Nick. "I want to stay here so badly,
Jonathan wants me to stay, but I gotta know that he is going to be safe. I
mean there are people who want me dead, and will use whoever is necessary
to get that done"

"Bro," said Paul. "Have you seen some of the people he has working for him?
I wouldn't go up against them even with Chuck Norris, Steven Segal and
Arnold on my side"

"Yeah I know what you mean man" said Nick smiling. "Some of those dudes are
fuckin scary"

"So, like you going to stay man?" asked Paul again.

"I hope so" said Nick. "I mean I need him so bad, uhm. I need you too
dude. I'm afraid of losing you too"

Paul put his arm around Nick. "You ain't gonna lose me man, even if you are
stupid enough not to tell me what's goin on"

"That means a lot bro" said Nick. "Now if I can only get Jonathan to
forgive me.."

"He loves you man" said Paul. "You of all people should know that. I'd
worry more about Sebastian taking a liking to you."

"I don't think that is a problem dude" said Nick. "I got paw prints on my
chest" He lifted his shirt up to show Paul the faint outlines of bruises in
the shape of paws on his chest.

"Oh" said Paul, laughing. "Guess he does like you. He marked you"

Paul looked at Nick. "You've been doin some working out too it looks like"

"Yeah, that's pretty much all I did" said Nick, putting his shirt back
down. "Went to classes, swam, surfed and worked out"

"Hawaiian surfer boi"said Paul, "Amazing. My tax dollars at work."

Nick reached over and smacked Paul across the back of his head. "Prick"

"Asshole" came the standard reply from Paul.

"Dickhead" replied Nick.

"Faggot" said Paul.

"YUP" said Nick.

The two of them looked at each other and broke up laughing. Unable to catch
their breaths, they collapsed on the floor laughing. Finally Paul reached
over and hugged Nick.

"Welcome back faggot" said Paul.

Nick hugged him back. "Thanks bro. I'll give ya blowjob anytime ya want"

"EWWWWWWWWWW" yelled Paul pushing him away.

Chapter Four: "Greeting from a tired flight deck" said the Captain over the
intercom. "Find someplace to set it down folks we are 8 minutes out.

Jonathan looked up from his desk at the announcement. He had been engrossed
in his work and hadn't noticed the time going by.  He had been reviewing
some early procedures Danny wanted to put in place.  Putting down his
coffee mug,. he logged into the atomic clock web site and set his watch,
noting it was now 8 AM local time. Looking up he saw Nick in the doorway,
holding Sebastian.

"Hey" said Jonathan. "You two make peace?"

"Yeah I think so" said Nick, scratching the cat's ears.

"How did you make out with Paul?" said Jonathan.

"He's straight" said Nick with a smile. "I don't do it with straight bois,
only way cute older men"

"OLDER?" said Jonathan. "Hand me my cane and I'll kick your ass"

The two laughed. Nick realized that this was where he belonged. Whatever
happened, it would happen together.

"So, can I stay" he asked Jonathan.

"Let's see" said Jonathan. He got up and walked over to where Nick was
standing. He lifted Sebastian out of Nick's arms and tossed him on the
couch. The garnered him a growl.

"The cat likes you, I like you, I gather that you and Paul have made up."
said Jonathan. "You are reasonably cute even with long hair"

"Yea but I'm getting rid of the hair" said Nick playfully.

"Damn skippy you are" said Jonathan. "I suppose I have to transfer money
all over the place again, get you the credit cards all over again, such a
pain in the ass. But I guess so"

Nick looked up at Jonathan. "I'm so sorry for not telling you babe."

"I know" said Jonathan, running a single finger over Nick's jawline, then
taking Nick in his arms and holding him. "I know you did it for me. We'll
be OK. Danny and I have been going over stuff. It's going to take a little
bit of adjusting with some extra body guards, but we'll be safe. You aren't
leaving me again."

Jonathan kissed Nick. Nick responded with his own tongue entering
Jonathan's mouth. The two remained locked in each others arms. Anthony
chose that moment to walk into the office.

"OK" he said. "You two can get off later, landing gear is down, we are two
minutes out"

Jonathan broke off the kiss, smiling. "Thanks, you sure know how to ruin a
moment"

"Be nice" said Anthony, sternly, with a proper British accent, but secretly
happy that the two of them had broached the problems. "I could tell Nick
here about a certain fuck fest you had one time in Texas"

"Never mind" said Jonathan, blushing, "On your way"

Anthony walked by the two of them on the way out. "Welcome back Nick. Keep
him happy"

"I will" said Nick.
