Chapter 11

Hockey practice went really well for all the boys, they were happy, and Mitch was more so. He was really noticing the boys truly gelling together now, they were trying hard to actually play together. Before he had fourteen boys of decent talent that all thought that they were the only players on the team, he had tried for years to nearly beat that out of them, he tried team building exercises until he was blue in the face, all for naught though, not until Kai showed up. Now his team was not only playing together, but they were playing well together as well, and he was happy. He was actually starting to think that they might even have a shot at the team they were playing this weekend, something that they had never accomplished before, in fact they had never won one single game. In fact, they had entered very few games because they were too low on the rankings to even qualify, but this was to be their first game of the season, and this was where they would find out if all Kai's hard work was to pay off.

After the boys were all showered, diapered and dressed, they headed off to school, and had a good day there. Once again, Nick was there to greet them, he was truly happy to see them all, and they him. However, Kai was starting to notice a hint of a spark between the two single boys in their little group, and he thought it not only cute, but fitting. They could both use each other. The day went by quite quickly for them all, and before they really knew it, they were walking home.

“So Owen, why don't you ask Nick out, I think he's as interested in you as you are in him?” Kai asked casually as they were walking home.

“What makes you think I'm interested in Nick as more than a friend?” Owen asked cutely.

“Do you really want me to answer that for you?” Kai warned.

“I know that tone, and I know I should say no, but tell me anyway please?” Owen said, already starting to blush.

“Okay, here goes. You're falling for him, you think he's really cute, you can't take your eyes off him whenever he's nearby, and when he's not, you keep looking for him. He's doing the same for you by the way, your feelings are mutual, and he wants you just as bad. Then there's how you both talk to and about each other, I think everyone around you sees it, only the two of you don't seem to. When you talk to each other, no one else matters, it's like we're not even there. Like at lunch today, I asked you a question and you and Nick were sitting there talking to each other, staring into each others eyes like you were lost. It took me three tries before you even realized I was there, let alone speaking to you. Trust me, we know it, and so do a lot of others around you. You should do it, you two deserve each other. Maybe he can come spend the night Friday night and see where things lead.” Kai answered.

“Is it really that obvious?” Owen asked shyly.

“A nuclear bomb going off in the back yard would be less noticeable. So yeah, 'fraid so.” Kai grinned, Kenny laughed, and Owen blushed more.

“What if he says no though?”

“Then he says no and you just stay friends, and life goes on. Trust me, your heart won't explode into millions of tiny bits if you get rejected, it happens. This time however, I don't think you have anything to worry about at all.” Kai smiled warmly.

“You really think so?”

“Have I ever steered you wrong?”

“No.”

“And I have no reason to do so now, go ahead, ask him tomorrow, I bet he says yes, or at the very least, maybe.”

“Okay, I'll do it, thanks.” Owen smiled brightly.

For the rest of the walk home, they continued talking and laughing, and then when they got home, they stripped down and went to the basement and did some gymnastics, not even realizing anyone was home.

Steven only went to work for just a couple hours first thing in the morning to get some work done, and then informed his receptionist that he was taking the rest of the day off, and to forward any calls to voice mail, because he had an important meeting to attend, and then left work. He had already found out which school that Daniel went to, so that was where he went.

“Hi, could I speak to the school principal please?” He asked the secretary at the desk.

“Sure, who can I say is asking and what it's regarding?”

“Certainly. My name's Steven Smith, and it's concerning one of your students, a Daniel Bower.”

“Uh oh, any time I hear that name, it usually spells trouble. I hope he didn't hurt your son too badly.” She said sadly.

“Oh no, in this case it's a very good thing for Daniel, and even the rest of the school too. Is the principal busy, or should I have made an appointment?”

“No, I think he's free enough for at least the next hour to speak to you. Just give me a minute to check it out for you though” She said kindly.

“He'll be free in just a couple moments, please have a seat.” She said, so he did.

“Hello Mr. Smith, I understand you wanted to speak to me about Daniel Bower?”

“Yes, and Steven, please?”

“Steven then, let's go to my office and we can have a nice long chat.”

“Thanks.” Steven said as they entered the office and sat down.

“So, how can I help you, and how are you related to Daniel?”

“He's on the same hockey team as my son, I've known the boy for many years, and in fact, I'm the one who's paid for him to be there all these years, however he only just found that out. What I'm hoping you'll help me with is a few things. Through recent events, I've come to conclude that Daniel was very nearly suicidal, and how he had not succumbed to it yet I have no idea, nor does my child psychiatrist friend. You see, his parents hate him with a passion, they're divorced, and usually it's a fight as to who has to take him when, that sort of thing. He grew up being told that he's a useless waste of skin, food, water, oxygen, you get the picture. It's now to the point where he thinks the same thing of himself. To say he has no self esteem would be the greatest of understatements. I understand you've had a few run-ins with his parents, and they pretty much told you that he was your problem while at school and that you were to deal with him here and not bother calling them?”

“Yes, that pretty much sums up my last three calls to them perfectly. Had I have known all that you just told me though, I never would have called them, I would have called social services instead. How is the boy even still at home, why hasn't he been moved into foster care?”

“In the case of Daniel, unless it was done by the time he was five, it would have been too late, it may have even caused him to collapse. I don't know what they've said to him regarding foster care, but from the feel of it, it's going to be a long time before I can broach that subject with him. Between me and my son and his boyfriend, who's also the son of the psychiatrist friend I mentioned, we've actually managed to start his healing process so that he can function properly. I assure you, he was so close to suicidal that it's scary, and when he snapped, there's just no telling who all he would have taken with him, he was so miserable, so mad at the world, he hated everything and everyone. There was one love in his life, and that was hockey. Had someone have told him he could not play anymore, they would have been the first to go, I assure you.”

“How was he even functioning? Most kids in that state just shut down and stop living altogether?” He asked in awe.

“Hockey, his one and only true love. You know I'm sure how often teen boys jack off, it's usually two to ten times a day, well not Daniel. He admitted that he only did it when the pressure became too great and he had to release it. So that was maybe once every few days, I can't even go that long.” Steven laughed, the principal blushed.

“Sorry, you'll have to forgive me, I'm a very open individual.” Steven said.

“It's okay, just not used to talk like that so much, but I agree, most teens would never do it so rarely.” He laughed.

“Exactly. Not even that made him happy. There's nothing most teen boys like more than to give themselves attention, but not Daniel, he could have cared less. Now, there's a few reasons I'm here today, and I want to ask your help with a couple things. First, I want to speak to all his teachers today, hopefully during their lunch break, because he's said some disturbing things to me about them that I would like to clear up. It's hopefully nothing more than a person who's lost all hope thinking that everyone is being mean to him, no matter what they say, but I want to hear from them how they've been treating him, and tell them the things he's said to me so that I can gauge their responses. You must be there though during this, because if I hear anything that I find even the remotest bit abusive, you'll have to hold me back.”

“If I hear of any of them actually mentally abusing any of my students, it'll be you holding me back, have no fears there. Can you tell me what these things are?”

“I'd rather not, at least not yet. I don't know which teachers, or even if they're yours, he only said teachers in general, so it could have been while in elementary school for all I know. Next, one of the things that one of his friends tasked him with, to help aid him in his healing process, was to make amends with those that he bullied. The other day, one of the boys that he bullied said some pretty nasty things to him, and pretty much told him he would be happy to see Daniel dead. Now, considering how bad Daniel bullied the boy, I can't say that his reaction is all that uncalled for, but it really crushed Daniel. He's really trying hard to turn a new leaf, and be a nice person, but that really hurt. He apologizes, but he skipped the class right after lunch that day, because he locked himself in the bathroom and cried for about an hour.”

“Oh, that's so sad. I had no idea any of this. I wish you would have informed me of this before hand, so that I could have helped him out.”

“I realize that now, but to tell you the truth, I was only asked to jump in because he needed a strong adult role model to lean on and cry on. He's never felt love in his life, he'd never been hugged or kissed, I've spent the entire weekend just hugging him and talking to him and having him talk to me. I tore him wide open, I spilled out virtually all his feelings, and now he's really raw. He cried a lot this weekend, but I have no real idea what I'm doing. My son's boyfriend, who's the same age as both the others by the way, is really smart and could easily already be a child therapist, has been the one mainly helping Daniel, but he admitted to me that I could help him the most, because he needed an adult who loved him unconditionally. I've always had a soft spot for him, I always knew his parents weren't there for him, but to the extent that it really was, I never realized 'til just a week or so ago.”

“Oh, he seemed so strong though, I'm surprised he allowed you to even hug him.”

“He seemed strong, yes, but he was so weak. He had zero mental strength. The only reason he didn't burst into tears at times was simply because he was so conditioned to just shut up and take it like a man, men don't cry you sissy little baby. Trust me, he acted it on the outside, but the inside was anything but. That's also the cause of all his bullying, in case you haven't figured that part out. He hated anyone and anything. If you had more than he had, he hated you, and he bullied you. So that was pretty much anyone who was too weak to defend themselves, because everyone had something that he wanted. So, what I want from you for the students, is I'd like to have them all pulled from class after lunch and you and I will go and talk to them, and then I want to bring Daniel in and have him talk to them and have them really listen. Is that at all possible?”

“Not only possible, but an excellent idea. I trust you must have a list of the students that you'd like to speak to?”

“I do.”

“Give it to me then and then I'll take just a few minutes to make all the arrangements. It's nearly lunch time now, so I need to work quickly.”

“Yeah, sorry, I meant to get here sooner, but it took me longer at the office than I had planned.”

“That's okay, we still have plenty of time.” He smiled and then went to work. He emailed all the teachers that were involved in any way, and they all responded back pretty quickly, saying they would be happy to. Half the teachers would be at the lunch meeting, the other half saying they would send their students to where he principal asked for them to be right after lunch.

“Okay, everything's all set, I've asked them to meet me in the old teachers lounge, it's just a teacher study now, a quiet room so to speak, so it'll be perfect. We'll put the do not disturb sign up and no one will disturb us.”

“Thanks.” Steven said happily, and they got up and headed to the room.

It was a nice spacious room with a few seats around for them all to be seated comfortably. Soon after arriving, the lunch bell rang, and a few minutes after that, the five teachers who were asked to come did so.

“Thanks for coming on such short notice folks, I appreciate it. Please feel free to eat your lunch while I talk. None of you knows me, but I'm a friend of one of your students, Daniel Bower......Ah, I see from your looks that you know this isn't gonna be good. Well, that depends solely on what information I find while in here. First a little background.” Steven said softly, and then pretty much told them all the same thing that he had just told the principal.

“So, now I need to know from each of you how you treat Daniel please, because he has said some pretty nasty things about teachers in general. Now before you go and think I'm singling you out, I'm not. He never said which teachers, only teachers in general, so the teachers he refers to could be teachers of the past. I am not here to accuse any of you of any wrong doing, I'm just trying to find out how he's treated here and now. And so that you know some of the things he's been saying about teachers, since you need to know, here it is.”

“This first one I know is recent, so that means you guys, and maybe it was to try and get him to try harder, but when he told you that he was trying his best, you just scoffed at him and told him that he should have thought of that sooner, instead of slacking off so much in the past. While it may be true, and I can even understand a frustrated teacher for saying it, it doesn't necessarily make it right. I don't want to know which of you said it, I really don't care. The rest of the stuff though that I've found out though, now if I knew who did it, I'd find and fire as soon as I could. He's been told he's too stupid to learn, he's been told he shouldn't be there, he's been told that he should go to a special school, and other such things. Those are just a few of the things he's been told by teachers, but again, I don't know who or even when. Granted, with as messed up as Daniel's mind is, it could even be a totally innocent comment that he took and turned and twisted 'til it suited how he felt about himself, hence the reason why I can't possibly lay blame to anyone. Now, I want to know how he's being treated in his class, one at a time please?”

“I'll go first. I'm his math teacher, and I'll admit I've been very frustrated with Daniel since he started. He never tries, when he's there, it like he's not even there. I've asked him to pay attention so many times now it's not even funny. He's never done one line of homework, he barely does any work in class, and when he does, half the time it's so far wrong it's not even funny. I've tried, really I have, but with forty five students in my class, I can only spend so much time with him. When I do try though, he just blankly stares right through me as if I'm not there. This last week though, now he's been really strange, and it might even have been me that he's quoted, but I never said it like that. He told me he was trying his best, he really was trying to figure it all out, but that he just couldn't understand it. I told him softly that if he had have been listening to me for the rest of the year, that he would have had more grasp of the basics by now, and that we'd pretty much have to start from scratch. I did warn him though that I just didn't have the time to do so. I asked for him to stay after class so that I could talk to him, but he's avoided me since. I never realized he'd taken it as an insult and that he was hurting because of it.” She said softly.

“Okay, that sounds more than a little reasonable, and if you try and talk to him more, he might be more receptive. If you have class with him this afternoon though, he'll be otherwise occupied, so he won't be there today.”

“Thanks, I'll try again, this time I'll try and make him see my point better.”

“Thanks. Who'd like to go next?” Steven asked, and another teacher offered.

The rest of the teachers had much the same reports, there really was no real difference between them all, and Steven could tell that they were telling the truth, and that they did all care, but had also started losing faith in Daniel.

“I thank you all for taking the time to talk to me and let me learn a little more about Daniel, he's like one of those near impossible jigsaw puzzles, but I'm working hard to put him back together. I'll be getting him a tutor so that he can try and catch up, and any help you can offer would be appreciated. I would ask that you try not to dump too much homework on him for a bit yet, he'll need some time to catch up.”

“You're welcome.” They all said. Just as they were filtering out, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch.

The principal stayed with Steven, because the students that were to come were to come there as well. It was only a few minutes later that they were all there, all curious.

“Good afternoon boys, thanks for coming. Please have a seat, and I'll explain why you're all here.” Steven offered softly.

“Thanks.” A couple of them said softly.

“Okay, the reason why we're all here today is because of a particular student that you all know and loath. Daniel.” He said, and they all blanched, and one in particular got up and started for the door.

“Please sit young man, what I'm about to say you're gonna want to hear, and my guess is by your reaction, you're the one who told Daniel last week that you'd rather see him dead than to see him again.” Steven said softly but firmly.

“Yes.” He spat out. “I hate him, and nothing his father can say will make me like him, even if he tried to be nice to me.” The boy said harshly.

“Ah, so you think I'm his dad?”

“Yeah, why else would you be here?”

“Well, I assure you, I'm not that asshole, pardon my language, but Daniel's dad would never come here to talk to you boys, trust me. Did you know that after you said that to Daniel the other day, he locked himself in a bathroom and cried for more than an hour?”

“Yeah right, he's a bully, bullies don't cry. Besides, even if he did, he deserved it for the amount he made me cry.” The boy said strongly.

“I'm not lying to you, and I don't hold it against you. I do have some things to say to you boys, and it's very important that you not only listen and listen carefully, but that you also do not spread what you're about to hear around. This is very private information, but you all need to hear it, because Daniel is really trying to become a better person. You may not believe it, you don't even have to accept it, but that's the way it is.”

“You see, Daniel is in a lot of pain, mentally speaking. He was very weak, he hated life and he hated you far more than even you hated him. You all had what he wanted. He wanted friends, he wanted family, he wanted love, and he wanted smarts. He's a lot smarter than he thinks he is, but the rest he had nothing. He also has no self esteem and hated himself even more than he hated life. He was very close to actually killing himself, and that would have been a terrible waste. I know you all hate him, but in just a couple minutes, he's going to be coming here, and I want you to all listen to what he has to say, don't judge him, just listen, that's all I ask of you.” Steven asked softly.

“Why should we, and if you're not his dad, then who are you?”

“I'm possibly the only person he can call a friend yet, and I'm the one he wishes was his dad. I'm the person that's trying to help heal his horrible existence. As for why you should listen to him, well because he's going to pour his heart and soul out to you boys, and that's about it. I don't think he's going to be asking for you to forgive him any more, he's beyond that. He had originally hoped that he'd apologize to you and then that'd be it, but he now realizes that what he did to you boys there's just no going back from. I do ask one more thing of you though, please don't taunt him or tease him, please don't bully him, and please please please don't spread any of this information around the school, it'd really kill Daniel, and I don't think I can pick up the pieces again and put him back together if you do that? I know you all hate him, but would you really like yourself much afterward if you did something to cause him to take his own life?” Steven asked them all softly.

“No, that'd make me feel really bad, even if I do hate him.” The same boy answered yet again, so far he had been the only one to speak, but then he was speaking well enough for all of them.

“Exactly, so can I get you all to promise me that then please?”

“Yes.” They all said softly. A few moments later there was a knock at the door.

“Come in Daniel.” Steven called out and he entered. He saw Steven first and smiled and went and hugged him, then he saw who else was in the room, and he started crying.

“No no no no, I can't do this, they won't listen to me, they hate me so much, I hurt them too much.” Daniel said, getting upset.

“It's okay Daniel, we've already talked a little, and I asked them to at least listen to you. I want you to tell them all how you really feel. You can do it, I think you're strong enough now to do it, and I'm here for you.” Steven hugged Daniel tightly, and said softly to him, loud enough for the others to hear as well. Every single person in the room, adult and child alike was stunned at the display of emotion from the biggest bully in the entire school, possibly the school district. It took a few minutes, but finally Daniel was cried out enough, so he sat down on Steven's lap and started, but he did not look up.

“Guys, I was a very bad person, I bullied you, I teased you, I tortured you, I was an asshole, and I know you all hate me. James, you said you'd rather see me dead, but you have no idea how close you were to getting your wish. I don't blame any of you for hating me, but at least I don't hate myself as much any more. I only ask one thing of you, and one thing only. When you see me in the school yard, can you stop spitting on me please. I'll never bother you again, I'll never even look at you, I can't stand to see the look of hatred in your eyes any more. I'm finally starting to feel happy, and seeing you hate me just makes me sad. If I could, I'd change schools so that you didn't have to put up with me any more, but I can't. Thanks for listening to me.” Daniel said and got up to leave, but Steven did not stop him, he hoped one of the boys would before he left, if not, then he would go get Daniel and bring him back. Just a he reached the door, James stood up.

“Daniel, stop please.” He said softly with no bite to it. “Come back, Steven told us a few things?”

“Oh Steven, please tell me you didn't tell them everything?” Daniel asked, sounding very sad.

“Not everything, but more than enough. I think you should tell them the rest though.”

“He told us a little about how you've been feeling, and how you felt after I said those mean things to you. I'm sorry, you were only trying to make up to me, and I made you cry for an entire hour.”

“You must think I'm a sissy now?”

“No, you made me cry a lot, so it's only fair I guess, and I don't think I'm a sissy just because you made me cry.”

“Why do you think you're a sissy?” Daniel asked curiously.

“Who says I think I'm a sissy?”

“Because of the way you said it, like you think you're a sissy, but not because you cry.”

“Oh. Is that why you teased me?”

“No, because I saw that you had two parents that loved you. They dropped you off every day and you hugged and kissed them and they wished you a great day at school.”

“You hated me because I had good parents?” James asked incredulously.

“Yeah. I know it sounds strange, and maybe it is, but my parents hate me and I hate them. I'm nothing more than a huge mistake to them, I'm tossed back and forth between them, their only argument is that it's the others turn to take me. Neither of them ever want me there, I'm just a burden to them, someone they have to take care of, but they'd really rather not. Why they didn't just dump me in the river I'll never know, maybe by the time they realized they should have it was too late.”

“Wow, and I thought having no money and getting bullied was bad.” James said in shock.

“I'm so sorry James, really I am, I couldn't say it enough to make me feel better about what I did to you, so instead I'll be your guardian angel, no one will ever touch you while I'm around. You won't see me, but I'll always be there protecting you. Same with the rest of you. I won't get in your way, I won't even be in sight, I'll try my best to stay well out of your way, but I'll make sure no one else ever gets in your way. But like I said before, all I ask is that you don't treat me like the garbage I was any more. I want to be happy, Steven has taught me what it's like to be happy, for the very first time in my life, and I just can't deal with you all treating me like that any more.” Daniel said sadly.

“Daniel, I'm gonna say something that I never thought I'd ever say to you, because I hated you more than any other person in my life, but I forgive you. I know you didn't come here today looking for forgiveness, and you didn't ask for it, but I'm giving it anyway. I never knew that you hated yourself more than you hated me, I never knew how your parents were to you, and I'm so sorry for saying what I did to you last week. Had I have known then what I know now, I never would have said it, and I would have accepted your apology. I doubt we could ever be friends, there's just too much between us, and you really hurt me, but maybe eventually we could be, you never know. I won't hurt you any more either, as long as you promise to not hurt me as well, and you don't have to stay out of sight, you can even say hi to me every so often and I'll even say hi back.” James said sincerely, Daniel had tears in his eyes, but in all fairness, so did both adults and all the kids.

One by one, each other the other kids in there forgave Daniel of his sins, apologizing for how they had acted towards him as well, and they all shook hands. The principal excused the students, all except for Daniel, and sent them back to class.

“I must say Daniel, that was very well done today. You really have changed a great deal, and I'm proud of you. The first time you sat across the desk from me I sensed there was something greatly disturbing you, but you just wouldn't talk to me. You never said anything that would have tipped me off, you wouldn't let me help you at all. I'm happy to say though that you're well on your way to being a happy and healthy young man for the first time in your life. Now, I know there's still more than an hour before the end of school, but after the emotional afternoon you've had, I dare say you won't be able to concentrate all that well, so I'm sending you home with Steven. I'm also going to call in a few favors to some local places that offer specialized tutoring services, and once I find one that'll be able to help you out, I'll give you the information so that you can get everything all set up.”

“Thank you Sir, I appreciate it, and thanks for allowing Steven to do all this for me today.” He smiled softly.

“You're very welcome. The health and well being of all my students is my biggest and hardest job, and I'm happy to help in any way I can. Now, sadly I must leave you two, as I'm already late for the meeting I had this afternoon, but some stuffy asshole in a suit can just wait five minutes for me.” He grinned.

“If I'd have known about your meeting...”

“I assure you. I'm not upset.”

“Oh no, I was going to say that if I'd known about your meeting, I'd have made sure that this took longer.” Steven grinned.

“I wouldn't have complained, that's for sure, but I should get going. You guys have a good day.”

“And you too.” Steven smiled, and they headed out.

They did not speak at all during the ride home, or to Steven's at any rate, Steven was saving it all for when they had the time to really sit and talk. They went right in and sat down on Steven's bed, and Steven pulled Daniel in tightly to him.

“I'm proud of you Daniel. What you did today took courage and self love to really pull off.” Steven said softly, hugging him tightly.

“Thanks. It feels good to not really be hated any more. I still have a few more boys to apologize to at school, but at least I don't think they'll be too hard, because I wasn't that bad to them. I talked to a couple more today as well at lunch, and both of them accepted my apology. I....I....I feel lighter, better, I feel good.” Daniel smiled.

“That's great. You've come a long way in such a short time, and while we both know you have a lot more work to do to feel good and normal, I think you're gonna make it just fine.”

“Thanks to you.”

“No, I may have helped you, and continued where Kai left off, but it was you that's had to do all the really hard stuff. I can see some inner strength building up in you, and that's good, you need that.”

“Yeah, but I couldn't have done it all without your help. Kai too, he helped me a lot as well. He's the one that got me to take my head from my ass and see that life didn't suck so bad as I made it seem. You though made me feel love, and I love you for it. I jacked off again last night and this morning thinking of you, it's getting nice to do that, it feels so good, I feel happy.”

“I'm glad that you're feeling happy, but you still shouldn't be jacking off thinking about me Daniel, you know just as well as I do why we can't share what you want to share. What you want, where your head is leading you, you can't go, at least not yet. You're not really even ready for that yet I don't think, you're still so raw, so new. You have to think of your mind as that of a baby. You were just born, I can't even say born again, because you never were truly alive before, so you were just born, and your mind is going to take a lot of time to be able to understand what love really is.” Steven said softly.

“I know you're right, but only to a certain extent. Yes, I was just born, yes I'm still weak, still raw, still new, but you're wrong about my understanding of love. I now know what love is, I know what it feels like to be loved, and I even know what it feels like to have the love pouring out of me and into me as well. I love one person and one person only, whether or not I'm gay or straight really makes no difference to me, I still haven't decided, because there's only one person on the entire planet I can see myself with, and that's you. I love you only, I love you with everything that I have, everything that you gave me, and whether I have to wait the year and a few months 'til I'm sixteen to get you, or whether you cave and let me share our love together now doesn't really make much difference to me. The government certainly never cared about me before when I called them and asked for help when I was eight, so why should they care now.”

“Whoa, are you telling me that you cried out for help and they never removed you from your home?” Steven asked in shock, Daniel had never said this before.

“Yes. They sent some stupid person to the house and did an interview with me and my parents, that's when they still lived together, and my parents lied through their teeth, saying that I was treated like a god, and even though they didn't have lots, I was in hockey and they did everything they could for me, yet I just kept lashing out at them. The guy suggested they seek therapy for me, I was standing right there, saying that I would only get worse if they didn't get me treated. He told me I lived in a caring household and that I should be thankful. I screamed at the guy saying they were lying and that they hated my guts and wished I was dead. He just looked at me sadly and shook his head and told my parents to get me into therapy soon and left. My parents laughed at me, saying if I was going to torture them by being born, then they were going to make my life hell, and they actually managed to make it worse after that too. So trust me, I don't really give a damn what anyone in the government has to say about what I do anymore.”

“Do you remember this guys name?” Daniel asked, seething mad.

“No.”

“Too bad, but I'm sure I can find out anyway, and his actions will soon be looked into.” Steven said through gritted teeth.

“And what difference does it make now, it's too late, the damage is already done?” Daniel asked hotly.

“Yeah, it has been done, because of him. At the very least he needs to be reprimanded, at the least I expect all his cases to be looked into, because do you really want any more poor tortured kids being left in their homes when they shouldn't be, all because he's an idiot who believes the adults no matter what the kids say?”

“No, I guess not, but I don't want my name being mentioned, what if they start looking into my case and decide to pull me from their care now? It's too late for that, and all that'll end up happening is that we'll get torn apart, and I can't have that.” Daniel said strongly.

“I can see your point, and I understand it. I have a couple contacts over there that might be able to look at things quietly and report back to me, but the problem is, that's kinda illegal. Granted, I pull off at least one illegal thing a week, so I don't much care one way or the other, but they might.”

“No Steven, don't go getting yourself or anyone in trouble on my account. At the very most, just send an anonymous letter stating that you've heard that this sort of thing was happening and that it should be looked into. Chances are they won't look back as far as six years to find my file, and even if they did, by the time they got back that far, I'd already be sixteen and legal to live wherever I wanted within reason.”

“Okay so you know a little bit about the law and how things work, I told you you were smarter than you thought you were.” Steven smiled warmly.

“Thanks, but sometimes I wish I was smart like Kai.”

“Don't wish for things you have no idea what you're wishing for. Remember, Kai has his own troubles with that and wishes he could be more like a normal kid and not so smart.”

“I know, I just don't get it. I guess it's true what they say, you always wish you had something more than you already have.” Daniel sighed.

“Dreaming of having more isn't always a bad thing, you just can't let it control you, or you'll become a monster. Now, I'm happy to hear you say that you could wait for when you're sixteen, and I'd really prefer it if you did please. As it is already, I'm fighting to keep my promise to never touch a child in a sexual manner, and I really can't have you trying more to force me.”

“You've dreamed about that before?”

“No, not entirely. Sure I've noticed hot boys, but not since I was a boy myself have I truly desired to have sex with a boy. But when I realized what you wanted, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't do that, because it was too risky, and I'm not talking about me either. No, it's far too risky for you.”

“Why me?” Daniel asked curiously.

“What do you think would happen to you if let's say somehow we were found out about and we were torn apart?”

“I don't know.”

“Well, I do, or at least at present I can assume how you'd act. First of all, you'd be crushed, and then no matter how much you told the authorities that it was you that started everything, they'd ignore you and I'd be sent to jail. Kenny would be fine, even I'd be fine, I'd get out in just a couple years, because even though technically you're a minor, you're actually considered old enough to make some of your own choices, and while they'd still ignore you for the most part, if we were saying the same thing, and so was everyone else around us, they'd have to listen to a certain extent, but trust me, I'd still be in jail for at least a couple years. Once in jail, you'd have no one to care for you like you need, there's a really good chance that you wouldn't even be allowed to come to the house at all and talk to Kai and Kenny, your mind isn't strong enough to deal with any of that, not now, and more than likely not even a year from now will it be. It would be a crippling blow to your mind and your newly developing love. If you survived, I'm not sure anyone could help you after that, you might just end up an empty shell. Granted, you could surprise me and hold up amazingly well, and we'd get back together after I got out, but I just don't see that as being the case. No, it's too risky for you, and I really don't want to go to jail either.”

“Who'd ever say anything. I know everyone here would never say anything, all the guys at hockey would never say anything, even if I did tell them, of which I wouldn't, so who would ever have to find out?”

“There's a better than even chance that we'd never be caught, in fact the chances are extremely slim, as long as no one goes blabbing or anything. That still doesn't make it safe, or right. The laws are in place for a good reason, and albeit retardedly harsh in more than a few cases where a boy such as yourself really wants it, and they just treat the boy like a poor abused victim, but it's there to protect the ones they claim are innocent. I won't even go anywhere close to saying the system is perfect, they need to change it completely, but right now, that's not going to happen any time soon. My question to you though is, can you hold out, can you promise me that you won't pursue a sexual relationship with me, can you keep your pants monster in check?” Steven asked softly.

“I don't know, it's becoming harder and harder to not fantasize about you and what we can do together. Every time I see you I want to kiss you deeply and get undressed and do all sorts of things together. Seeing you naked, or even in your diaper makes me tingle all over, and I don't know if I can stay soft seeing you like that any more.”

“That's sorta what I thought. How should we deal with it then, because you know my stance, and I know yours, but we still can't do it?”

“I don't know. I'm so conflicted, I want you, but I don't want for you to be uncomfortable, thinking that somehow something's gonna go wrong and you'll go to jail for something I caused. I know we'll never get caught, but you keep thinking what if. I think that now, no matter what happened, I could survive, as long as I know you're okay, even if you were in jail, which would never happen, as long as I knew you were okay, I'd survive. I'd write you letters, but don't worry, I'd use a different name of course, I'd even call you somehow, but you know what, it doesn't matter, that can't happen, it won't happen, I won't let it.” Daniel said, and then before Steven could react, he pressed their lips together and firmly kissed his man, starting out strong and passionate, but quickly morphing into soft and sensual.

For more than five minutes they sat there kissing, Daniel on Steven's lap facing him, their arms wrapped around each other like they had been the entire time they had been talking. When the kiss finally broke, so did Steven, and he started crying. Daniel, doing what Steven had done for him, hugged him tighter and whispered sweet nothings into his ear.

“What was that for baby?” Daniel asked softly once Steven stopped crying.

“Because I love you so much, I just couldn't stop it, but we can't, you shouldn't have, it's too risky.”

“You know what, shut up, stop talking about risks to me. I love you, I know you love me, we both want it, we both need it, so deal with it and let's just share what we have together and not worry about anyone else at all.” Daniel said firmly, grasping Steven by the cheeks and forcing him to look directly into his eyes as he said it.

“You know Daniel, for someone who had no strength, no self assurance not all that long ago, you're sure acting a lot more sure of yourself now.” Steven chuckled.

“It's because of you, why can't you see it! I'm me, I finally know who I am all because of you. You purposely filled me with every drop of love that you had in you to give to make me see for the first time what it was like to live, to love, to laugh, and now I'm trying to share that love with you, and you keep trying to push me away. I said I'd wait 'til I was sixteen if I had to, but I don't have to, and I don't want to either, and I don't think you want to either, do you?”

“No.” Steven whispered.

“Good. Now let's lay down and kiss and cuddle some more, but first, I want to strip and I want you to diaper me please?” Daniel asked, blushing lightly.

“I was wondering when you were gonna ask. You've sorta been dreaming of it for a while now, haven't you?”

“Yeah. I don't know why, they just look so hot, and so comfortable.” Daniel admitted.

“That's why I asked you a few times if you wanted me to diaper you, because I could tell it was sorta what you wanted. I think the others could tell too. Now, I don't want to make love to you yet, we can hold off on that, so just kissing and cuddling, okay.” Steven said softly.

“I knew that was why you were asking, and I'm not really even sure why I said no, maybe I was still scared to admit it, I don't know. I don't want anything more than just kissing and cuddling right now either, except maybe later we can pet each others diaper monsters 'til they're satisfied.” Daniel smiled coyly.

“I can live with that.” Steven laughed.

“Can I change your diaper first please, I bet you're really wet?”

“Yes. I don't have any diapers in here though that'll fit you, so when you get up to get my diaper, just run to one of the other rooms and grab some of the boys' for yourself and bring them in here.” Steven said.

“Okay.” Daniel said brightly and hopped up.

He went to Kai and Kenny's bedroom first, since it was right across the hall, and went right to their closet and grabbed a full unopened pack from the stack, thinking they would not miss it, and he was going to need it. Steven only smiled when he saw Daniel come back with an entire pack, and Daniel grinned. He then headed to the closet and put the diapers on the shelf next to Steven's, opened it and removed one, then grabbed one of Steven's diapers from his pack, grabbed the wipes and the cream, and then headed back. By the time Daniel made it back out of the closet, Steven was already in diaper change position.

“I've never done this before, what do I do?”

“The first thing you want to do is get me undressed, you can ask me to stand up if it makes it easier, or I can stay laying and help out as needed, since I'm a lot bigger than you.”

“Okay, stand up please, it'll make it easier.”

Steven stood up and Daniel started removing all his clothes. His shirt first, and then his pants. His socks came next, and then Steven was urged to lay back on the bed. Daniel released the tapes holding Steven's wet diaper on, and pulled down the front.

“Okay, what now?” Daniel whispered, not looking to Steven's face, because it was locked on an entirely different target.

“First, don't stare, it's not polite.” Steven giggled.

“I'm not staring, I'm gazing intently.” Daniel giggled as well.

“Right. Anyway, start by cleaning me and then slip the new diaper underneath me the same way this one is now, but I suggest that while you clean me that you remove my wet diaper. Once nice and clean and the new diaper is under me, then put the cream on. After that, make sure there's no cream on your hands and then tape me up nice and snug.” Steven instructed.

“Okay.” Daniel said happily, and then proceeded to follow the directions, diapering Steven for his first time, and doing a fair job at it. Steven only had to guide him how to pull the diaper more snugly and make sure the fit was nice and even.

“Thanks Daniel, that was nice. Not many people diaper me any more, and it was nice.”

“You're welcome, I liked doing that for you.” Daniel smiled brightly.

“Good, now it's your turn, just stand right there and I'll take care of everything.” Steven smiled and then got up and stripped Daniel until he was standing there naked.

Steven was only slightly surprised that Daniel was only slightly hard, but he smiled and had Daniel lay down. He then proceeded to clean Daniel's skin with a wipe, then slipped a diaper underneath him and applied a generous coating of the cream. He then pulled up the diaper and taped it up nice and snug, and Daniel smiled warmly.

“Wow, this feels good.”

“Wait 'til you pee in it.” Steven grinned.

“Which is right now.” Daniel said, and then sat up a bit and watched the front of his diaper as he peed. It started showing almost right away that he was wetting, and after a few seconds of watching, he put his hand over his diapered dick and felt the warmth as it spread through his diaper. Steven smiled and enjoyed the sight of a boy enjoying his very first diaper, it was a very special moment, that was for sure. Finally, after almost filling his diaper up, Daniel sighed and smiled.

“You've been holding that for a while, haven't you?”

“Yeah, I should have went to the bathroom when we got here, but I knew today was the day I was gonna ask for a diaper, so I didn't want to waste it and not get to feel how a nice warm wet diaper felt right away.” Daniel grinned.

“That's good, it was kinda cute too.” Steven smiled warmly.

“Come lay down with me baby and we can kiss and cuddle and talk more.” Daniel whispered softly, and Steven just smiled and laid down.

It was a couple hours later when Denise came home and went in search of everyone, she found the boys, but no Steven.

“Hi guys, where's Steven?” She asked as she came down to the basement to find the boys.

“He hasn't come home yet, at least as far as we know, he certainly hasn't come down to say hi to us. We didn't even realize the time, sorry, or we'd have already gone up to make dinner.” Kai answered.

“Well, his car's in the garage and it's cold, so he's been home for a while. Did any of you check his bedroom?”

“No, why would we have, he wasn't supposed to be home and we came in through the front door, so we never saw his car.” Kai said, wondering what was happening.

“I'll go check his room.” Kenny said, and ran upstairs.

Instead of knocking, Kenny just barged right in though, catching his dad and Daniel laying there kissing each other and rubbing the front of each others soggy diapers. They both looked up and blushed at having been caught, removing their hands. It was their third time, so they were no longer desperate to cum, thankfully.

“Oh, hi Kenny.” Steven blushed.

“Hi Dad, um I'd ask you when you got home, but I have a feeling I know the answer to that. I'll let you two continue where you were then.” Kenny said, blushing and grinning all at the same time.

By the time Kenny left the room to go in search of the others, they had already come upstairs and he ran into them, almost literally.

“So, was he in his room?” Kai asked.

“Yeah, and he wasn't alone either.”

“Oh, really. He brought over a boyfriend?” Denise asked.

“Um, not entirely, although it looks like that may very well be the case soon. It was Daniel, and I caught them in the middle of something interesting. They were kissing tenderly and stroking each other through soggy diapers. I knew Daniel really wanted to try them, I guess he finally decided to do so. I'm surprised though that my dad finally fell, I figured he'd take longer.” Kenny said, trying not to laugh.

“Oh. Well we all saw it coming, and my guess is Daniel made him see that whether it was now or later it was going to happen, so there was no point in waiting. I'm happy for them both, they deserve each other.” Denise smiled.

“Me too. I hope Daniel takes it slow though, dad's gonna have a really hard time dealing with his age.” Kenny said.

“Your dad'll be just fine, it's Daniel we have to worry about. He's only just learned what love was, and it was your dad that taught him that. Where he's going could be very bad for his tender heart if things go bad. I know your dad knows that already, and I'm willing to bet he's tried to tell Daniel that much already as well, but Daniel is so in love with him that he can't see the risks involved.” Kai said softly.

“You're more than likely right.” Kenny smiled.

Just as Kai was about to continue, a blushing pair of diapered lovers exited the room and walked towards them.

“Why the blush you two, you weren't doing anything wrong, or more than we suspected you'd be doing sooner rather than later?” Kai asked softly.

“Well, let's face it, no matter what, what we just did in there was illegal, and as much as it scares me, I just don't want to fight it any more. Also, I was just caught in a compromising situation by my son, that's always a little embarrassing.” Steven smiled.

“Hey, I thought it was nice.” Kenny smiled.

“I'm sure you did.”

“And how does it feel Daniel to finally be wearing a diaper and to have your man?” Kai asked softly.

“Good and great.” Daniel sighed.

“Glad to hear it. We all knew you wanted to wear diapers, we could see it, and we knew you were falling head over heals in love with Steven, but you need to take it slow and easy too. I have no doubts Steven's told you the dangers of what you're sharing, in a legal perspective, and probably even the dangers to your poor battered little heart. But do you really understand what it is that you want, and the dangers it poses to you?” Kai asked softly.

“Yes, Steven has gone over it all really well with me, and I understand a lot better than I've ever understood anything before, but really, how much worse can it be than what my parents do to me. I'm even stronger now than I was before, I can take anything, I'm positive of it, just as long as Steven's okay, then I'm okay too.”

“Okay, just as long as you're aware of the consequences. We all know no one here will ever say a word, so just be careful outside of this house and you should both be just fine.” Kai smiled warmly.

“Thanks, I am, and finally I feel happy about something. Also, guess what Steven did for me at school today?” Daniel said happily.

“What?” Everyone asked.

Daniel then went about telling them all about what he knew, and then Steven told them the rest of the information as well, so that they all knew what was happening.

“Oh Daniel, you must feel so much lighter now, almost all the weights have been removed from your shoulders, you must really feel like a new person.” Kai smiled warmly at the end of the tale.

“You have no idea. Maybe you can guess a bit, but I guarantee you I feel about a thousand times better than that.” Daniel said brightly, his smile matching.

“Then you must be way beyond happy, because I assure you, we can tell that you're feeling way better than you ever have before.”

“I am.”

“Good. So, are you staying the night then, and if so, we should go get some dinner going?”

“Sure.” Daniel smiled, and looked to Steven who only nodded.

“You should at least call whichever parent you're supposed to be staying with this week and let them know.” Steven pointed out.

“I'd rather not.” Daniel said almost defiantly.

“Daniel, you know you have to, and before too long, it's going to be mandatory that you do so on your own, or I can't in good conscious allow you to stay the night here. They're still your parents, no matter what, and they have to know where you are, even if both you and I know they won't care one bit.” Steven said softly but firmly.

“Okay, fine.” Daniel sighed and then trudged to the nearest phone and called home. The call took less than fifteen seconds, he called his mom, said he was staying at a friends for the rest of the week and for the weekend too, and then he hung up, not even two seconds after finishing.

“The whole week?” Steven asked.

“Well, like they say, give kids an inch and they'll take a mile.” Daniel grinned cheekily.

Everyone burst out laughing.

“Don't I know that to be the truth. What did she say though, you hung up only two seconds after telling her?”

“All she said was good, and then hung up.” Daniel said simply, as if it were routine.

“Oh Daniel, I'm so sorry.” Steven said softly, hugging Daniel.

“You have no reason to be sorry, only they do, and they can't hurt me any more. I figured out last night that I no longer have parents. They're nothing to me other than a source of food and shelter, and I have no problems using them for that either. That's it, that's all, and in case you wonder, I'm not sad about it either, in fact, it was the easiest decision I've ever made to divorce my parents in my mind.”

“I'm sure it was easy, considering just how distant they are already anyway, but it's still sad, no matter how you cut it. Parents are always supposed to be there for their children, no matter what, yet all too often they get left behind, neglected, and or downright abused. Your case I think might actually be the worst though, short of physically harming and or raping, or god forbid killing their child. I almost wish that I could meet your horrible abominations of parents and beat some sense into them, but I'm afraid that I'd kill them, and it wouldn't be entirely accidental either.” Steven said heatedly.

“You and me both.” Denise said.

“Exactly the reason I'll never tell you where they live or anything else about them. I don't want either of you to ever get in trouble because of them, they can't do anything to me any more, I'm far stronger than they are now.” Daniel said firmly.

“I hope you're right Daniel.” Steven said softly.

“I am, don't worry. Besides, what else could they do to me, try and take away the love they have for me, yeah right?”

“Actually, they could do so much to you. If they sense that you're happy, and for some reason this displeases them, then they could react very poorly indeed. I've seen far too many cases similar to yours to underestimate the power of a pissed off parent.” Denise warned softly.

“Well, letting them know I'm happy shouldn't be too much trouble then, because when I'm there, I'm miserable, at least if they're home. If they're not and I'm there, then it's fine. To be sure though, I'm gonna do a thorough search of the houses and make sure there's no guns or anything stupid like that. A knife I could easily avoid if I had to, since I'm way stronger than they are, and I'll make sure to keep my bedroom doors locked at all times, in fact, I should go buy new ones so that I can be sure I have the only key.”

“That's probably being a bit paranoid, but you know what, it's probably not a bad idea, we'll go and get them tomorrow.” Steven said.

“Actually, he's on the right track.” Denise said firmly. “Whatever you do Daniel, don't trust them, don't let your guard down in the least.”

“Why do I have a feeling you're not telling me something?” Daniel asked curiously.

“It's nothing that I know, it's more a feeling, and my feelings have an eery way of coming true, and I don't want that for you. It could be just as simple as them telling you you're no longer welcome, in which case I'm sure you'd be welcome here, or it could be something else. It's the something else that you have to be on guard for, considering how they've treated you in the past, there's simply no telling what they could be capable of if they got mad enough.”

“Then why don't I just divorce my parents legally and sue them for neglect and all sorts of other stuff and take anything I can from them?”

“That's certainly an option, but it's a messy procedure to say the least. It's also very long and grueling, and given your age, you'd first have to have a home to go to. Sadly, my ability to take in more kids has been depleted, I'm only allowed to take one, and there's no agency in the world that would let you move in here after seeing the house and finding that there's no bedroom for you. So, if it comes down to it, unfortunately you'll have to find another solution.”

“Crap. I could wait 'til I'm sixteen I suppose and then do it, in which case social services would have little to no say in where I stayed. But how do I deal with the next year and a bit if it gets bad there?”

“That's an option, and maybe your only real one as well. As for what to do, nothing I guess 'til there's a reason to do so.” Denise shrugged.

“And you're certainly welcome to come spend the weekend here every time.” Steven added.

“Thanks guys. Hey, where'd the others go to?” Daniel asked, all of a sudden realizing that it was now just the three of them standing there where they had been, and he had no idea when the others snuck off.

“I imagine they headed in to get dinner started, and we should go join them.” Steven laughed, because he had to admit that he had not noticed them take their leave either.

“They did.” Denise smiled, the guys had been so intent on talking that they had failed to notice it entirely.

They went in search of the boys and found them in the kitchen getting them some much needed dinner going. With the addition of three more people, they got everything ready a few minutes later and then they all sat down to eat. After dinner, they cleaned up, and then went and sat back and watched TV for the rest of the night.

“So, are you gonna ask him today?” Kai asked Owen happily the next morning on their way to school.

“Yeah.” Owen smiled shyly, knowing exactly what Kai was asking.

“Good.” Both Kai and Kenny smiled.

They got to school, and Nick was standing there waiting for them as per usual waiting for them. He smiled brightly when he saw them coming, but waited for them to arrive to where he was waiting. Once they were all together, they headed inside to get ready for their day, because they only had a couple minutes before first bell. Owen did not ask yet, because there was not enough time. At lunch they all gathered their food and then went and sat down, and as soon as they were there, Owen cleared his throat to get their attention.

“Nick, I want to ask you something.” Owen started.

“What?” Nick asked hopefully.

“I'd, well I don't know how to say this best, but I'd really like for you to be my boy.....” Owen started, but before Owen could finish, Nick smiled brightly.

“Oh yes Owen, I'd love to be your boyfriend.”

“And I'd love to be yours as well. You wanna come over this Friday night and spend the night?”

“For sure.” He smiled brighter still.

“Good. We have dance class at noon and then a hockey game on Saturday evening, so unfortunately you won't get to stay too late on Saturday.” Owen warned.

“That's okay. Just as long as I get to spend some time with you, then I'll be happy.” Nick smiled even brighter still.

“That's good. I was scared you were gonna say no, but Kai and Kenny told me that you'd say yes.”

“I've been wanting to ask you for a few days now myself, but I was afraid you'd say no too.” Nick smiled shyly.

“Well there you have it boys, you shouldn't have been so afraid of it, and you'd have already been boyfriends for a few days.” Kai smiled warmly.

“Yeah, well not everyone's as confident as you are.” Owen smiled.

“Oh yeah, I'm the picture of perfect confidence. I'm not, trust me, but I'm not afraid to get an answer I don't want either, because the way I see it, if we don't at least ask the question, then we'll never know the real answer, and then we're miserable. It's better to get a straight answer than to have no answer at all, and so what if it's a no when you really want a yes, at least you know right.”

“Yeah, I guess you're right, but it still doesn't make it easy.” Owen nodded.

“No, it's not always easy, but it doesn't have to be hard either, although I'm betting both of you are.” Kai grinned cheekily.

“Oh yeah.” They both grinned.

“Good, I'd have been worried if you weren't.” Kai laughed.

For the rest of the time that they had together for lunch, they sat around talking happily and eating, just enjoying themselves as they always did. After lunch came more classes, and then finally the end of the day. They headed to dance as soon as they were able to and had a good class once again, and then were home for dinner, which Steven and Daniel had ready for them when they got there.

Daniel had been dropped off to school by Steven, and then came right back to the house after school, he had been given the codes for the doors so that he could get in as well, and waited for Steven to arrive. As soon as he did, Daniel kissed him tenderly right inside the door to the garage, and then they headed to the kitchen to make dinner. Steven was only too happy to come home to such a cute young man, standing there in only a wet diaper, giving him such a nice deep and tender kiss. Daniel had went and stripped and diapered himself as soon as he walked in the house after school, and even though it had felt weird being in the house alone, it felt nice too.

The rest of the week went about the same for all of them, they went to hockey together in the mornings, and then went to school and had dance on their regular afternoons. Steven would drop Daniel off at school, and then he would take a bus back and wait for the others, or meet them there on the days they came home from school. Kai and Kenny spent at least a little time every night before bed giving each other a little pleasure, Owen usually enjoyed his dildo and a little masturbation, and Steven and Daniel had not even went past kissing and petting each other on the outside of their diapers yet. As promised, Daniel was moving slowly, and he was enjoying every second of it too.

“Finally, Friday afternoon, let's go home.” Owen said happily, dragging Nick along as well.

“Okay.” The others all smiled.

“What should we do when we get home?” Owen asked.

“I say go swimming.” Kenny suggested.

“Okay.” The others all said.

“Now Nick, I don't know how you'll react to this, actually I do know, but we swim naked and so will you.” Kai smiled.

“Really, I've never done that before!”

“You'll be fine, but like I said, I know how you'll react, because the second you see Owen naked, you're gonna be so hard, but then so will he when he sees you, so it'll only be fair. Just remember, no raping each other in the pool.”

“It wouldn't be rape.” Nick groaned.

“No way.” Owen sighed as well, looking very much like he had just had a spontaneous orgasm in his diaper.

Kai and Kenny laughed at the boys, but were happy as well. They continued walking for the couple minutes it took for them to get home, and when they did, they went straight out to the pool. Once there, they all stripped down to just their soggy diapers, and then stripped them off as well. There was an awful lot of looking going on between the two new boyfriends, and it appeared as if they both liked what they saw. Both boys were painfully hard, they had been all afternoon, and it looked as if they both had a healthy drop of precum right at the end of their puckered foreskins just where their heads were just peeking through. They both swallowed hard, and then looked up at each other and blushed quite cutely. By the time the boys were able to tear their eyes off each other, Kenny and Kai were already in the pool, but still watching the two lovebirds.

“Finally decided to join us did you?” Kai giggled as they jumped into the pool and swam over to them.

“Yeah, sorry about that.”

“No worries. Just glad you two didn't start anything, I would have had to get the hose out and spray you down.” Kai giggled again.

“Might not have been enough.” Owen admitted.

“You're probably right. There's plenty of time to get to know each other though, so go slowly and really learn each other well is all I suggest. Take Kenny and I for instance.......”

“No thanks, I have a boyfriend now.” Owen giggled.

“That's not what I meant, and you know it. Anyway, we haven't even started really touching each others bums yet, just a bit of petting, otherwise we haven't done anything more than just suck and pet a lot.”

“I know, but it was fun. I have no intentions of going quickly, don't worry. If I really need something buried in me, I have my toy, so I'll survive.” Owen smiled.

“You have a dildo?” Nick asked incredulously.

“Yeah, got it a while ago now, online shopping can be really great.” Owen answered.

“Wow, I've never put anything in my bum before, what's it like?”

“Intense, awesome, incredible, and oh so good, all at the same time.” Owen sighed.

“Wow.” Nick sighed out.

“Yeah.”

“Didn't it hurt at first though?”

“Sure it did, and I didn't buy a super small one either, but I went slowly and even though it hurt at first, it felt really good too, and now I can use it with hardly any lube, and I've done it without before as well.”

“Wow, that's awesome. Maybe I should buy one for myself.” Nick smiled.

“Your choice.” Owen smiled.

“Come on guys, let's play.” Kai smiled, he figured the boys did not need to talk only about sex on their first date.

“Okay.” The others all said.

They grabbed the pool toys and they played for a while, and were joined by Daniel, he had come in later than usual.

“Hey Daniel, what took you so long to get here today, I was expecting you almost half an hour ago?” Kai asked as Daniel was stripping to join them.

“Come sit in the hot tub with me and I'll explain it.” Daniel said, and they all jumped from the pool into the hot tub, just as Daniel was slipping in as well.

“Okay, what's up?”

“Other than Owen and who I guess must be his new boyfriend Nick I think it was.” Daniel grinned.

“Yeah, sorry Daniel, this is Nick, Nick, this is Daniel.” Owen grinned and introduced them.

“Good to meet you.” They both said.

“So, anyway, the reason I was late today, was because the principal asked for me to come see him.”

“Uh oh.” Nick said, thinking that could only be bad.

“No, it was good. He said that all the teachers have really noticed the change in my school work lately, and that he's happy for me. He also told me that he found me a tutor that was well suited to my special circumstances, and that I was to meet with him every day after school for an hour. We've arranged to do it right at school, so that we have everything and all the space that we need, as well as no distractions. I would have done it here, but there's nowhere to go where we wouldn't really be disturbed. He told me that it would cost nothing at all for me to do this, and that the school was going to pay for it all. I start on Monday, and he says it'll go right through to the end of the year, and that at that time, he's hoping to at least skip me ahead a grade to get me closer to where I'm supposed to be. I told him I wanted to work towards getting back into my proper grade, but he said to not push myself too hard, because I wouldn't be able to cope with it all on top of everything else. He's probably right, and just getting one grade closer would be nice, but I'm still gonna try. I'm even gonna start doing work on the weekends, just an hour or two in the morning so that I can get even closer.”

“Oh Daniel, that's really good. And just so you know Nick, we'll tell you later what's happening and why, because I can tell you want to know.” Kai said warmly.

“Yeah, I feel better. I have to admit that an extra hour of school every day doesn't sound all that great, but I know it'll help a lot, so I'll deal with it.” Daniel smiled.

“Really, what's one extra hour a day when you're already there for so many anyway, and if it gets you that much closer to being in your proper grade, then it'll be worth it in the end.” Kai said.

“Exactly why I'm doing it that way. The principal asked me how I wanted to do it and how much time I wanted to spend at it, it was my decision, and he agrees with it. I would have went longer, but I'll be so tired as it is, and I can't push myself that much or I won't learn anything at all.”

“Very true. I think you'll do just fine, you're more than smart enough to do the work, all you have to do is apply yourself and catch up what you've missed and you'll be good.”

“Thanks Kai. I can't wait 'til Steven gets here so that I can tell him the news. Have you told Nick yet?”

“No, it's not our place to tell him that.” Kai said, and Nick was now even more confused.

“Okay. Well Nick, this might come as a bit of a shock to you, and I know you don't even know me, but I have to ask you to promise something on your very life that you'll never say one word of it outside this house.” Daniel said firmly.

“Okay, I promise I'll never say anything outside this house, ever.” Nick said, curious enough to want to hear it.

“Good enough for me. You see, I'm gay too, and I'm sorta with someone as well, although we haven't really truly become boyfriends yet. It's the who though that could get him in serious trouble if we were ever caught, because it's Kenny's dad.”

“You're in love with a man?” Nick asked comically.

“Yes, the most wonderful man I've ever known in my life. Obviously considering I'm not even fifteen yet, it's sorta illegal for us to have any sort of relationship, but that doesn't matter to us, we love each other and we want to be with each other for a very long time.”

“Sounds to me like you're boyfriends already.” Nick smiled warmly.

“Yeah, but he still can't say it. He's still having a really hard time dealing with the fact I'm only fourteen. I know he loves me every bit as much as I love him, he just can't really say it yet, well no, he does say he loves me all the time, but he can't say that we're boyfriends yet.”

“Oh, that's too bad for him then. You don't have to worry about me though, I'd never tell anyone, I'm happy for you in fact.” Nick smiled.

“Good, thanks.” Daniel smiled back as well.

With that being taken care of satisfactorily, the boys just sat back and Nick and Daniel got to know each other a bit better, and they all talked and laughed. They hit the sauna and the steam room, they went and swam a bit more, and finished off in the pool once again before climbing out and going and getting dried and diapered.

After a nice time in the pool, the boys headed to the kitchen to get dinner ready. Shortly after starting, both Denise and Steven arrived.

“Hi boys.” They both said.

“Hi.” They all said back, but Daniel went right to Steven and gave him a nice tender kiss hello.

“Hi there, I trust you must have told Nick about us then?” Steven asked nervously while looking over to Nick.

“Yeah, and he says he's okay with it and that he'd never tell anyone, so don't worry. If I'd have been worried at all that he'd have said anything, then I wouldn't have told him, and I certainly wouldn't have kissed you in front of him.”

“I know, it's just so hard.”

“If that's the case let's go to bed now.” Daniel grinned cheekily, Steven just smacked him lightly upside the head while calling him a brat. The others could not help but giggle as well.

“Dinner's almost ready guys, so if you could set the table please?” Kai asked.

“Sure.” Both adults said and then went and set the table.

A few minutes later they were sitting down to eat dinner, and they all enjoyed.

“Who wants to go sit and watch a movie?” Kai asked as soon as they finished cleaning up.

“Me.” Everyone said.

“Good.” Kai said and they all headed to the living room and between all of them they chose a movie and sat back and watched it. Just before sitting down to join the others though, Steven stripped down to his diaper as well, surprising Nick a bit, he had never seen an adult in a diaper as well, Steven only smiled to him before sitting down and enjoying the movie with the rest of them.

Once the movie was over, they all decided to just head to their bedrooms to spend the rest of the evening before bed, more than a few boys with really good ideas what to do once they were there. Kai and Kenny once again sucked each other at the same time, three times until they were well satisfied, Daniel and Steven kissed and rubbed each other for only two orgasms, and Owen and Nick started out shyly, but before too long, they too were kissing each other while laying on their sides, and before too long, they too started petting each others soggy diapered erections, and they finished the night off with four orgasms a piece. All the couples changed each other, and then curled up in bed and fell fast asleep.

“Would you like to join us for our morning workout Nick?” Kai asked the next morning after having a light breakfast.

“Sure, why not. Where do you workout here though?” He asked, because he had not yet been shown the basement.

“Oh, wait 'til you see this.” Owen smiled brightly.

“Huh!”

“Oh don't worry, you'll find out, just come with us.” Owen smiled and grasped his hand and led him to the basement with the others.

“Wow, what a gym, and it's in your basement.” Nick said in awe.

“Yeah, it gets a bit of use, that's for sure. Kai had this made to suit his needs, but we all enjoy it. Feel free to work on the weights, the gymnastics equipment, join in on the stretching routine that we do and then the aerobics, or whichever you want. Whatever you do though, don't try and keep up to us if you're not used to it, and certainly not Kai, you'll probably die quickly if you try. Not even Kenny and I can keep up to him yet, and we've been trying hard to be able to.” Owen offered and warned.

“Um, okay. Is he really that good?”

“Watch and see for yourself, just trust me.” Owen grinned.

“Okay.” Nick said, and went and joined the others in the center of the gym and started copying Kai, who was once again leading all of them.

Not even half an hour into the hour long stretch routine that Kai did Nick dropped out and went and sat down. Owen joined him about twenty minutes later, and Kenny lasted the full hour, but was still not able to do as much as Kai did. He then started the aerobics routine and Owen and Nick went back up and joined them. Nick once again lasted only half an hour before he had to bow out, while Owen and Kenny lasted the full hour, but once again not able to do as much as Kai did.

“Wow, no wonder you're all in such good shape, doing that pretty much every morning would certainly do it.”

“Yeah, but Kenny and I have been working really hard to get as good as Kai is, but we're probably never gonna be able to do it. We're getting better, but still we can't quite keep up. You can do the same thing too yourself, and you're welcome to join us any time you can, because it's really good for you. You're pretty fit though, so it's not like you have to to get yourself in shape. You actually lasted longer than I thought you would.” Owen said.

“Yeah, I do really good in gym class at school, and I do try and do some exercising in the morning at home, but nothing like what you guys do.”

“That's good. At least you do do something. So, what should we do now guys?” Owen asked the others.

“I could go for a dip in the hot tub, I'm starting to hurt a bit.” Nick asked hopefully.

“Okay.” The others all said.

“Just think Nick, we've all got to go to dance class where we'll do a lot of this all over again, but for four hours on Saturday's, and then we've got a hockey game this evening at six, where we're gonna really push ourselves hard.” Owen grinned.

“Wow, I think I'd die.” Nick admitted.

“Only if you did it without being used to it. Granted, I'll be very happy that I don't have to do anything at all tomorrow at all, because today is gonna be more than a little tiring.” Owen grinned, and even Kenny and Kai nodded their agreement.

“Not even we can do all that and not get tired, so tomorrow will just be a day of rest with only a light workout in the morning.” Kai said.

“Yeah, but for you, a light workout is about what most think a hard workout is.” Kenny laughed.

“Too true, but that's their problem, not mine.” Kai laughed as well.

They all headed upstairs and straight out to the pool where they stripped off their soggy diapers and threw them in the trash. The sauna and steam room were turned on, all the jets activated, and then they went and slipped into the hot soothing water, all of them sighing deeply as they did. And there they stayed for almost half an hour before all hopping out and going to the sauna for a bit, and finally after ten minutes, they hit the steam room. After another fifteen minutes in there, they all jumped in the pool and had a nice cooling dip that really made them feel a lot better.

“Ah, now that's how to relax. I love you guys' house, it's so awesome.” Nick sighed once they pulled themselves from the water.

“And it could be yours for the bargain price of about two to two and a half million dollars, plus the cost of the land. At least that's about what it would cost almost anyone else to build. We didn't pay near that much, but still plenty.” Kai warned.

“Yikes, I had no idea you were that rich, you certainly don't act like it, at least nowhere near what most of the other kids do. I'm not rich at all, so I usually notice the rich ones, and because I'm not rich, I have a tendency to get snubbed a bit.”

“Well, while the house may cost that much, that's nowhere near what we paid. My mom's helped a lot of people over the years and has made many many friends as such, some quite literally owe her their lives, and when they found out she wanted to build a new house, they were practically begging her to let them do it for nothing or next to nothing. Yes, I guess technically we're rich, we don't act like it, because we don't think of us as being rich. In all actuality we have very little cash, most of our money is tied up in stocks and bonds and stuff like that. Sure, I could cash it all in, and we'd definitely be very rich, but why do that when it works better where it is.”

“Why do I have the feeling that it's you that does all the money work, because that's how you're speaking.” Nick almost asked curiously.

“Because I do do all the money work for mom and I, and now Steven and Kenny as well, and even my dance instructor.”

“Wow. Are you any good?”

“Depends on who you ask I suppose. If you ask my mom or anyone else that knows what I've done with money, they'd unfortunately say I was the best there was, but I've made mistakes and lost money. Granted, it happens, so you can't really lose any sleep over it, so I don't think I'm perfect at it.” Kai smiled. It was possibly the first time he had admitted, in a sort of roundabout way that was really good at something.

“Wicked. I don't have much money, but if I were to give you a hundred dollars, that's about all I can do without having to answer a whole shit load of questions from my parents, could you take it and work it hard?”

“Sure, and any time you have any other money you want to add, you can do that. Now, do you want to be told, or do you want to be like the others and only be told at certain times or at a certain time?” Kai asked.

“Well, I don't really need the money for anything except university when it's time, so how about I just ask you once that time comes?”

“Works for me.” Kai smiled.

“Wicked, thanks. I'll get you the money on Monday or Tuesday then.”

“Okay.”

“I'd tell my parents, but a lousy investor once lost them almost every penny of their savings, so they're sorta distrustful of them, so they might think you'd do the same for me.” Nick said.

“Well, unless he actually did something bad, then it probably wasn't his fault, it really can happen and you can lose almost everything. That's where I try and avoid that sort of thing, by making sure that I have everything diversified, that way should one fail without my ability to stop it from taking the money with it, then I don't lose everything. I play the numbers a lot, and I think I'm getting pretty good at it, but still, sometimes you can lose money. I once lost my mom over fifty thousand dollars, I actually cried from it, and offered to give it to her from my own account, but she just laughed and told me not in bloody hell. It was money that I had made her, and she had had no knowledge of it in the first place, so what difference did it make. Within six months though I had that fifty thousand back, plus some extra.”

“Wow, you play with that much money?”

“And then some. Between my mom and I, I have access to over ten million dollars.”

“Wow.” Nick whistled.

“And by the way, I started with not much more than what you're giving me, a thousand dollars. Granted, we've added more too as time went by, and as I learned all the ins and outs, but I figure I could have gotten us that high with almost as little as you'll give me, it would just take a lot more time.”

“You're shitting me right?” Nick gasped.

“No, actually, I'm not. These guys know it a bit from hearing my mom say it, but I've made us a lot of money. Even the guy who used to handle our money for us follows my lead and actually uses what I do to make his clients a tonne of money.” Kai said proudly.

“Wow, that's amazing. I might just ask my parents to give me a couple hundred for some made up reason at school and give it to you under their name.” Nick grinned.

“Go for it.” Kai laughed, what they did not know could not hurt them, and in this case, would likely help them out a great deal in a few years.

“Cool, thanks. Well, I suppose I should probably be heading home soon huh, you guys will need to get to ballet soon.” Nick sighed.

“Or you could just stay and leave with us and my mom would probably be more than happy to drive you home.” Kai suggested.

“That'd be nice, but I'll let you ask her.” Nick smiled.

Denise was more than okay when the boys found her and let her know the plans, saying she had nothing better to do anyway, and that for the four hours the boys were in class for she was just going to go do some shopping for herself and get both her and Kai some clothes. The boys went and hopped into a couple showers and scrubbed each other real well. Nick was at first a little shy being in the shower with Owen like he was, but he rose to the situation, if you catch my meaning, and as boys with boners often do, they played.

Owen was the first to grasp hold of Nick's ample thirteen year old erection, it was no bigger or smaller than his own he figured, but felt perfect in his hand, and he started slowly stroking it back and forth. Nick, who had never experienced this before, took a few seconds to enjoy the greatest feeling ever, and then reached down and grabbed hold of Owen's dick as well and started stroking him too. Owen was also the first to reach in and press their lips together, and started kissing his boyfriend tenderly, and Nick was only too happy to reciprocate. They lasted no more than a few minutes their first go round, but Owen was not satisfied with only once, so did not bother stopping, and continued stroking Nick to a second almost as powerful orgasm. Nick was only too happy to also continue, even though he had had to stop for a few seconds to regain his bearings, and continued stroking Owen as slowly as he had been as they kissed.

“Wow, that was incredible.” Nick sighed once they finally broke apart.

“Yeah, it was.” Owen sighed as well.

“We better get cleaned up before the others wonder where we're at and what we're doing.”

“It'll be the same thing they're doing, don't worry there, and if they're out yet, I'd be very surprised. They enjoy taking advantage of the fact that we have virtually unlimited hot water here.”

“Ah, I see. If I wasn't so worn from the two best cums I'd ever had, I'd say let's take advantage of it more ourselves.” Nick grinned.

“I certainly wouldn't complain myself, but I'm in the same boat as you are, so let's get washed up.” Owen smiled warmly.

They started washing each other now, fully, and they both enjoyed it a great deal. Kai and Kenny had played as well and did the exact same thing, only they went for three orgasms, and were very much happy because of it. Once drained, they too cleaned each other up fully, and then both couples hopped out, dried off, went to their bedrooms and diapered and dressed each other.

Soon it was time for them to all head out, it was nearing dance time for the boys, so they got all their things ready, and then they headed out. Denise dropped the boys off at dance, Owen giving Nick a quick kiss and telling him he would call that night, and then he hopped out. Denise ran Nick home so that he could spend the rest of the weekend at home, and then Denise went and did her shopping, hitting one of the larger malls to do so. The boys went in and got changed into their dance outfits, and then before too long, they were out and working on more dance moves, and once again, they actually had to dance. They all had a good time and learned lots, but were starting to get tired. Poor Kenny and Owen had to wonder how they were going to manage for their hockey game that evening.

Steven and Daniel had just stayed at home the entire time, cuddling a lot, talking even more, and did nothing too terribly much otherwise. They did go and relax in the hot tub for a bit, that was about it. Just before Denise and the boys were to arrive home though, they did deem it necessary to get a good dinner going, because in less than two hours the boys had to be at their hockey game, in fact they had really only a little more than an hour before they had to be there to be sure that they had plenty of time, so dinner was mandatory. Just as the others walked in the house, they were setting the table, and called them in to eat.

“So, how are you boys feeling, you think you're gonna win the game?” Steven asked as they were eating.

“Good, I think, and we're gonna give it our best.” Daniel smiled.

“Good. I think you have a pretty fair chance at winning, you're all doing really well, so hopefully you will, and if you don't, I know it won't be for lack of trying. You're all doing really well together now, but you all still have a bit to learn in order to really play well, but you're getting there.” Steven said proudly.

“Yeah, but we've never won a game before, ever, and the closest we came was getting two goals, only problem was the other team had ten.” Daniel pointed out.

“Yes, that may be true, but that was then, this is now. You all just have to remember to play as a team, because if you don't play as a team, you'll sure as hell fall as a team.”

“Good point, we've already seen that enough times.” Daniel laughed.

“Sadly yes. Well, let's finish eating, we should leave pretty quick. We'll have to take both vehicles though, all the gear and us won't fit in either.”

“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.” Denise said.

They finished eating, and then cleaned up quickly, went and loaded all the gear, and then took off for the rink that was hosting their game, it was not their regular one, but they had played there a number of times before, so knew well where to go. They went right into the guests change room and started changing, they were amongst the first there, only a couple of the others were there as well.

“So Pete and Nolan, did your parents come to watch the game?” Kai asked.

“Yeah.” They both answered, the only others to be there yet.

“That's good. Think we stand a chance of winning tonight?” Kai asked.

“No idea, but I think we've got a helluva lot better chance than we ever had before, but these guys are one of the best teams, that's why we're playing them tonight, best against worst, it usually knocks us out pretty quickly.” Nolan laughed.

“Ouch, you'd think they'd at least pit us against one of the lesser teams first.” Kai cringed.

“You'd think so, but like I said, it gets the games over with faster, and then by the time they get to the finals, only the best are left. It'd be a miracle if we made it that far, but I'm not holding my breath any.”

“How many games do we play before we hit the finals?”

“Twelve I think, and then it's the finals. The last few years we've never even made it to the finals, hell, we've never won a game, so it could be interesting to see how much better we are this year with all the work you've helped us with.”

“Should be fun, I hope.” Kai grinned.

“If we keep losing like we did, then it won't be much fun.”

“Keep thinking positive, that's all I have to say.” Kai said.

By then the boys were all stripped down, and all the diaper wearers were getting into dry diapers, so that they could hold up for the entire time. As they were getting dressed, more and more of the rest of the team showed up, and they too started getting undressed and all geared up. Before too long, everyone was there and they were all ready to go. They headed out to their bench area, Mitch was already there, and there were quite a few people in the stands already, but most everyone would be parents of all the boys. It was certainly not like practice though when there were maybe ten people in the stands, since far too many of the parents were never there.

“Good evening boys, I trust you all have your game faces on?” Mitch asked.

“Yes Coach.” They all called out.

“Good. Now, I know you're all gonna be pretty nervous, fact of the matter is, so am I. We've never even won a game before, we've been bottom of the pecking order for far too long, but I do believe a change is due. You're all playing well, playing as a team, and I think you really have a chance at winning this. Maybe you won't win, but maybe you will, but I know that you're all gonna try your hardest. I don't even want you boys out there thinking of winning or losing, just go out there and have some fun, play as a team, and remember your strengths.” Mitch said softly to the boys, they barely heard him, but they had, and they listened well.

“We will Coach.” They all called out again.

“I know you will. Whistle blow should be in about two minutes, so rest up a minute and then be ready to go out there and play with your hearts.”

They did, and then they did. The whistle blew, and their starting lineup hit the ice and faced off with the best team in their league. All their opponents were grinning at them, all of them snarling at how they were going to enjoy very much tossing them out of the series in only one game again. The boys just smiled warmly at their opponents, not saying a word, and then the whistle blew once again and the puck was dropped, and the game started.

To say the opposing team was surprised when the boys took an early three nothing lead would have been a major understatement. At the end of the first period, it was still three nothing for Mitch's team, and all they heard when they went for their break, was the other teams coach yelling at the boys on his team, saying some pretty nasty things about how they were letting the worst team in the league beat them so horribly.

“Wow, would you listen to that asshole go.” Kai said, clearly upset.

“Yeah, he's a pretty big hard ass, and likely the reason his team does so well, because he pushes them like they're professional players or something. Sure, they're good, best in the league, but I don't like the way he yells at them.” Mitch said, shaking his head.

“Someone needs to go talk to him before he has a heart attack or something.” Kai said sadly.

“Yeah, but I won't even talk to the guy, he's an arrogant prick who thinks he's the best.” Mitch said.

“Can you believe that we scored three goals though, that's gotta be a record.” Daniel chimed in, not really caring one way or the other for the other team.

“Yeah, it's definitely a record for you boys, you were out there playing with all your hearts, and having fun, and that's what's important. Just don't go out there and get cocky, just remember what you're here for, and that's to have fun. I don't really give a damn if we win, or even if we lose, I want you boys to go out and be your best, do your best, play it like you love the game as much as I know you do, because if you don't love the game, then you shouldn't be here, and I know you should all be here.”

“Thanks coach, we all love the game.” Daniel smiled.

A couple minutes later the second period started and they all hit the ice once again. They faced off, and this time the snarls from the other team were downright nasty, they were getting mean, and they all knew that spelled trouble, because now they would try almost anything to score, up to and including attempting illegal hits.

The whistle blew, and they raced with the puck once again. This time the other team was trying their hardest, and they managed to get a goal, but they also managed to score two separate penalties, and Sam ended up taking a pretty vicious elbow to the ribs. He hobbled off the ice, clutching his side as if it were going to fall off, and amazingly enough, it was not even their team that called foul, it was the parents of the opposing team that said that was uncalled for, and one of the parents literally ripped the coach off the bench and could be seen yelling at him. It was quite comical actually. The ref too had words with the coach and told him blatant beating up of the opposing team would result in his entire team being tossed from the entire tournament. It was that obvious, neither of them even had the puck when it had happened, nor were they even anywhere near it at the time. The end of the second period though came, and the score was now four one.

“How you feeling Sam?” Kai asked softly, his top was off and Mitch was looking at his side.

“Pretty bruised up, but the coach and I don't think anything's broken. He says I'm not going back out on the ice unless necessary though 'til I go to the hospital to have it checked out, but I can barely lift my arm, so I'd be no use out there right now anyway. I never even saw him coming, I was trying to get to the puck, I wasn't even anywhere near it at the time, and wham, he just wailed on me, never felt pain like that in my life.”

“Yeah, well the ref and a few of the parents of their team were pretty pissed off. I mean the first penalty was bad enough, that was an illegal check through and through, but at least I had the puck, your hit was totally illegal in any game you play.” Kai said, because he had been the one to have been hit the first time, and while the other player was considerably bigger, and he had thought that he would totally bowl Kai over with his smaller build, Kai only just barely lost the puck when the whistle blew.

“Yeah, I saw that, and that's good, that coach needs to be taken down a few pegs. Did you see the look on the kids face who checked you though, I think he thought you were gonna be toast and out of the game too, but then you only just barely stumbled and nearly kept the puck and he was totally surprised. I was on the bench and saw him coming at you, and he was grinning, thinking he had the perfect shot, but he was clearly hoping no one saw him blind side you like he did, but everyone saw it.”

“With how those boys were hitting, their coach clearly told them that they were to hit and hit hard, that they were not to take any more goals, no matter the cost. He should be tossed out of here for sure, but they won't.” Mitch said, clearly very upset.

“I'm betting that's exactly what he told them, but don't worry, from the way the parents and the ref reacted, I'm sure he won't be having his boys do that again.” Kai said simply.

“He'd better not or I'll go over there and have a pleasant chat with him.” Mitch said, showing the boys that pleasant would have little to do with it, and chat was only a euphemism for beating the living shit out of him.

“You won't, because you'd never stoop to his level, and you're better than that.” Kai said softly, laying a hand on his shoulder, showing that he and the entire team was behind him.

“Yeah, you're right, but I sure can envision his bloody face connecting with my fist.” Mitch grinned.

“Dreams are allowed.” Kai grinned.

“Yeah, well whistle blow should be any second now, so you boys go back out there and continue playing with your hearts, but watch out for them, I think they're still too mad to use common sense, and they could still try and blind side you, and I don't want anyone else getting hurt out there.”

“We will Coach.” They all said.

Whistle blow did come and they all lined up once more. Kai was on the starting lineup this time, and as they were waiting there for the puck to drop, the other team member snarled at him saying he was going down. Kai just smiled warmly at him and told him that he was welcome to try it. As soon as the puck dropped, their team had it and started skating away, heading towards their opposing teams net, when the boy that had challenged Kai attempted a wicked check, only Kai saw him coming, he snapped the puck towards the goal, then gave one mighty thrust and did a back flip, the player fully intent on laying him out surprised by the move, was too slow to react to the fact that he was far too close to the boards and going at full speed, crashed, and that was it, he was out like a light, he had knocked himself out. Kai landed the flip and skated hard back toward the puck he had fired, caught up to it, and while the others, his team included, were still trying to figure out what the hell Kai had just done and how he had survived, he gave one final snap of the puck, and it sailed right into the net, the goalie never having even seen it coming, because he was still in shock.

After that fifth goal, the opposing team was seen to visibly falter, their now injured best player was carried off the ice, having come to after only a few seconds, but clearly having nothing in him to get himself off the ice. The ref once again yelled at their coach, saying that had the boy manged to connect, it would have been yet another penalty, and he would have been in serious jeopardy of getting kicked out. Mitch's team though never once lost their focus, and managed to score a further two goals, and finally the whistle was blown, the game was over, final score was seven to one for Mitch's team. Normally they were used to the exact opposite being the case, and they were ecstatic.

“Kai, what the hell was that exactly?” Mitch had to ask, now that the match was over, he had not had a chance to barely even look at Kai when he had stepped off the ice.

“Reaction.”

“That's one hell of a reaction. In all my years, I've never seen a hockey player avoid a wicked check by doing a back flip. It was so much of a shock, that the other team had no idea you even had the puck.”

“Thanks, but that was my intention, to throw them off guard a bit. I was just hoping I could do a back flip with all this bloody gear on. Would have been a tad embarrassing if I couldn't, but he still wouldn't have gotten me anyway.”

“I never thought I'd say this, but maybe all hockey players should first be dancers and figure skaters, because man, if you can do that, I need to teach all of you to do it.” Mitch said, clearly still in shock at having witnessed it. There was only maybe two people in the entire place that were not shocked by the maneuver, and that was Denise and Kenny. Steven and Owen were surprised, but not so much as everyone else was.

“I doubt most could still manage to do that Sir.” Kenny pointed out.

“You're probably right. None of you are strong enough to be able to do that even with extensive training wearing all this gear. To tell you the truth though Kai, I didn't think you'd be able to either.”

“You and me both, and had I not had any other choice, I wouldn't have tried it either, and I won't again unless necessary.”

“Good idea, I don't want you hurting yourself, that's for sure.” Mitch laughed. By then, the head ref had finally had a chance to skate over.

“Pardon me Coach, but did I actually see one of your players do a back flip to avoid being hit?” He asked, wanting to know if he had really seen what he had thought he had seen.

“Yes, as a matter of fact you did, and I was just confirming with him that I had seen it correctly as well. I'd never in a million years thought anyone could do it, but he said it was just reaction, and that he'd probably never try it again, unless he had to.” Mitch grinned.

“Which one did it, it happened so fast I didn't even see it, and truth be told, I totally missed the goal that happened as well.”

“I think everyone did, but that would have to be Kai here.” Mitch said, patting Kai on the head, he had taken off his helmet.

“Where the hell did you learn to do that boy?” He asked in awe.

“Well Sir, before I started playing hockey, and even still, I was a dancer, a gymnast and a figure skater, so flips and jumping are all natural to me, even on skates. Only this year I'm not doing figure skating, because it would have been too much with hockey.” Kai answered honestly.

“Good grief. I've been a ref for more than twenty years, I've been ref at world hockey events, Olympic events, NHL games, and now that I'm retired, I ref at this level as a hobby, and I've never even heard of such a thing.”

“It wasn't intentional, and I'll hopefully never have to do so again, but with all my skills in dance, gymnastics and figure skating, I might surprise a few more people.” Kai grinned.

“Then I hope I get to be ref for all of your games. That was simply amazing. As for you Coach, congratulations on winning, you and your team did an excellent job.”

“Thanks Sir, your compliment is most kind.” Kai blushed softly.

“And thanks as well, the boys did do excellent, but they were not here to win, only to have fun, and they managed to do both. Can you tell me what's going to happen to the other teams coach now?”

“Well, I can't really do anything, but his actions are being sent in to have them looked at very closely, because that was horrendous to say the least. However, given the reactions of some of the parents of his players, he's not likely to have a team any more. I've had numerous complaints about him in the past, and the parents I know have told him off a few times for treating the kids like he does, but overall he was a good coach and the boys did win, so they never went so far as to kick his, well you know what. Now I don't think he'll be so lucky, and when the local hockey club finds out, he'll likely lose his license as well. He probably won't be allowed to coach anywhere again, at least not for a long time.”

“Then that'll be a good thing, won't it.” Mitch grinned.

“I think so, yes. Well, you and your boys need to go get changed and head out, and I'm sure you'll be taking them somewhere to celebrate as well, because that was an impressive win for the team that was ranked lowest for the last four years, but you all played like you were the best. That's an impressive comeback, and I hope to ref more of your games.” He smiled to the entire team.

“Thanks Sir.” They all said.

“Okay boys, hit the change rooms and try and hurry, I am going to take you out somewhere once I talk to all your parents.”

“Okay.” They all said and practically ran into the change room, a difficult chore in hockey gear and skates, but they made it look easy.

They quickly stripped naked and ran into the showers and got cleaned up, and then headed back to get dressed. All the diaper boys of course diapering each other first, but soon they were all dressed and ready to go.

“Oh good. Your parents all agreed to take your hockey gear, and a few have offered to chaperone, but the rest are gonna head home, and between all of us we'll drive you boys home after we're done.” Mitch said happily once the boys all came out.

“Okay.” They all said, and then they went and piled into four vehicles, Steven's being one of them, but he had only his troop with him.

They headed to an ice cream joint nearby and all piled in. Mitch told the boys and parents to go grab tables and get seated, that he was going to go get everyone something. They all picked a few tables and then put them together so that they were all seated together.

“So Sam, how are your ribs feeling now?” Kai asked.

“Not too bad, pretty sore, but otherwise good. I doubt there's anything wrong, but I had to beg my parents to let me come here with you guys and then head straight to the hospital as soon as we're done, hence the reason my dad was one of the ones who volunteered to stay.”

“That's good to hear, and even though there probably isn't anything wrong, it's better to have it checked out and be told there's nothing wrong rather than to find out there's something wrong a few days later, in which case it'd probably have gotten worse since.” Kai pointed out simply.

“I know, and don't worry, I had no intentions of arguing the point, and I want to go, because it's pretty sore.” Sam smiled.

“Good, I was hoping you were smart enough to go to the doctor.”

“Kai, I have to ask, how did you do that?” Daniel asked curiously.

“Just used to flipping, but I did it so quickly and instinctively that I have no idea if I could do it again. I know I put an awful lot of power into doing it though.” Kai shrugged.

“Figures, you're a right little show off, you now that right?” Daniel grinned.

“Sorry, wasn't trying to show off, just save my neck. I mean, did you see how fast and hard he was coming in at me? He looked like he was about to break the sound barrier. And did you hear the sickening crunch as he hit the boards? Yikes, it's a surprise he even woke back up right away, or damned near at all, because if he had have hit it wrong, he'd have broken his neck and he'd be dead right now. Trust me though, showing off certainly wasn't in my books at the time, and like I'd do that anyway.” Kai said simply, honestly, and with a grin, because he knew Daniel was teasing him.

“I know, just buggin' you. I was too far away though to see or hear much after you did your little flip, I was too amazed. I did see him coming at you like a freight train though, and I thought you were dead. Had he have connected with you though, you'd have gone down, likely hard.”

“Actually, so did I, I may be strong, but he was way bigger than me, and had he hit me in the position I was in, he'd have flattened me for sure.” Kai said simply.

“You should have seen it from our position Kai, up in the stands it was amazing, I think everyone in the entire place gasped as one, both when they saw what was about to happen, and then louder when they saw you pull off that little stunt. I doubt very seriously that that's ever been attempted before, at all.” Steven said.

“I have no doubt that it's never been attempted before, it was hard to say the least to do.” Kai grinned.

“Yeah, but just as you started to flip, you snapped the puck towards the net, and then you landed about two feet back perfectly and started skating hard towards the puck and wailed it into a practically open net. I admit, I don't think I was the only one to yell out holy fuck, about the only one who didn't was your mom, and she only laughed, I think she said something on the lines of you can take a gymnast out of the gym, but you can't take the talent out of the gymnast. I agree. Every other parent on the team was amazed. They'd more than likely all been told about you, how good you were at certain things, I think now maybe they'll see how much they were understating it.” Steven laughed.

“For sure.” The other adults said.

“Figures. I never even thought of it, which is what makes it so weird, because I never though it could be done. I mean, I know I can do a standing back or front flip with ease, but that's in tights. In thirty plus pounds of hockey gear that allows next to no freedom of motion, I never thought I could do it.”

“More than likely it was a combination of your outstanding skills and the imminent danger you were facing that gave you the strength to do it. Like you said, you poured a lot more power into doing so than you'd normally have available.”

“More than likely. To tell you the truth, my legs hurt more after doing that then everything else we'd done before that. Most likely I stretched my muscles even further than they're used to.” Kai smiled.

“I'll just bet they do, and you're probably right.” Steven smiled back.

A few moments later the first of the ice cream was brought out, and all the boys who had scored goals got theirs first, as well as Sam who had the worst injury. The second batch came out and the rest got theirs. Each and every one of the boys though were going to have a few bruises, because even though none of the others were downright attacked, they all took a good beating from a good hard hitting hockey game. They did give back almost as good as they got though, but like Mitch had told them, don't stoop to their level and start hitting unnecessarily, and no hitting hard unless it can't be helped, get in, get the puck, and get out, simple and hopefully painless. The other team though did not give the same courtesy and took every available chance to hit and hit hard. None of the boys cared about a few bruises though, they all felt really good.

They all sat around eating their ice cream and talking and laughing, and pretty much every person in the place guessed that they had won their game, whatever it was that they had played. They all had an enjoyable time, and before too long, it was time to go.

“Before you boys go, I want to say congratulations to all of you, you played an excellent game today, you played with your heart, you played for your love of hockey, you weren't brutal, not like the other guys, and you amazingly won at that. I guess there really is a first for everything, you all worked hard for it, so appreciate it.” Mitch smiled warmly to all the boys.

“Thanks Coach, it means a lot to us, and we just did what you told us to do, we played like we loved the game, not worrying about the score.” Daniel smiled back.

“That's good. Well, I have to get going, so you boys all have a good night. Whoever's coming with me, let's go.”

“You too Coach.” They all said.

They all split up and headed back towards home, and before too long, the boys and Steven were pulling into the garage at home.

“Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I could really use some rest, so I'm heading to bed.” Kai said pretty much as soon as they entered the house.

“Not before I have a word with you.” Denise said, coming around the corner to greet them.

“I really hope you're not gonna get mad at me for pulling some sort of dangerous stunt!”

“No, even though it was very dangerous.”

“I know, but I didn't even intend to do it, it just happened, but it worked really well and allowed me to score my first goal ever, well outside of practice that is, but I wasn't gonna let the chance slip by.”

“That's good, but all I was gonna say is try not to surprise anyone too much, they're probably not used to seeing a figure skating, gymnast dancer play hockey, and you don't want people talking too much about how good you are, blah blah blah, you know the drill. Remember what happened at gymnastics and figure skating, I'm sure you don't want some hockey guy hounding you to join them for some reason or another.”

“That's for sure, but I'm not good enough at hockey yet for them to pay too much attention to me.” Kai said softly, but every other head in the place turned to look at him and stare at him like he had two heads.

“Um Kai, I hate to point out the obvious, but considering you're clearly not seeing the obvious right now, the simple fact is, you could probably join the NHL and do pretty good there already, and you've only just barely started. If anyone found that information out, they'd think you were a hockey god and want to get you to get you into intensive training to hone your skills even more so.” Kenny pointed out.

“Figures, but I'm no better than the rest of you.” Kai attempted, the others snorted.

“Maybe not better, yet, but every bit as good as the best of us.” Kenny said, and both Owen and Daniel nodded their agreement.

“He's right Kai, face it, you're excellent at yet another sport, and you've hardly even started.” Steven smiled warmly to Kai, patting him on the shoulder.

“I don't do it on purpose though, I just give everything my all when I decide to do it.” Kai pouted.

“And that's what makes you so good, but stop thinking of it as a bad thing. It's not.” Kenny said softly, hugging Kai.

“Thanks, but I think I want to go to bed now, I'm getting pretty tired.” Kai said, trying hard to break from the uncomfortable situation.

“Okay, goodnight.” Everyone except Kenny said. Kenny just said goodnight to the others as well, and then they headed towards their room.

“How can he be so good at so many things, yet not even realize it?” Owen asked the others.

“It's not so much a fact of realizing it, it's more a fact of him trying to play it down. He doesn't like to feel special, he just wants to be normal. You have to see it from his point of view, he doesn't look or act it, but in reality, Kai is actually quite shy. He doesn't like a lot of people fawning and pawing all over him, it makes him uncomfortable. Granted, it's not the same shyness that most have, because he can walk into any room anywhere and strike up a conversation with nearly anyone, and not be one bit shy. However, with that being said, he is shy. You see, Kai's known he was good at anything he did from the time he was three, he knew he was different than other kids, especially in preschool where he was the only one there at three and a half that had a full dialogue and could both read and write, as well his math skills were already starting to really show too. We've been able to keep up an intelligent conversation since the time he was just about three, and most people thought he was way older, just looked really young because of the way he spoke and acted. This also helped to alienate him once he hit grade one especially, where he was already being pegged as a freak by those who could scarcely read anything at all, and math was almost totally unheard of, but by then he already had the multiplication and division down pat, and was working on fractions and things like that. Let's face it, Kai could have already graduated university by now if he'd really wanted to, and if not graduated, damn near.” Denise said softly and proudly, yet a little sadly as well.

“Yeah, I guess I can see your point, but is there anything we can do to help break him of that shyness like he helped all the rest of us?” Owen asked curiously.

“Not really, because to him, it isn't shyness, it's his way of trying to be more like a normal kid. I can't really blame him though, I wouldn't want that either, it's very hard on him.”

“I just wish I had half his smarts, it'd make life so much easier.” Daniel sighed.

“You're plenty smart, don't sell yourself so short.” Denise pointed out.

“Thanks. Still, it would be easier.”

“Sometimes I have to say I agree with you, but other times I understand how much of a burden it is on him. As he gets older, it'll probably only get worse as people realize how smart he is and come to him asking for more and more advice on things. I know most of you and your friends have asked to help him with your money, and he's happy to do it for you, but be careful, don't be letting him do it too much, or it'll become a burden for him, just let him be when it comes to certain things, so that he can be happier feeling like he's more normal. Of course he's not, he's incredibly special in so many ways, but it is a huge burden on him too.”

“Okay.” Everyone said.

“Good. Now, you boys look as if you're gonna pass out soon, so off to bed with you too, and no playing around.”

“Okay.” Daniel and Owen both said together.

When Kai and Kenny made it to their bedroom, they stripped each other down to their diapers, and because they had only changed not all that long ago, they deemed their diapers good enough for the night, so they crawled into bed. Other than a little kissing, they just cuddled right up to each other and fell fast asleep. Both Daniel and Owen were getting very tired as well, it had been a very long day for them, so they too headed to bed, Owen by himself, and Daniel to Steven's bedroom. Steven followed Daniel right away, helped him to strip, and then stripped himself. They crawled into bed and kissed for a minute or two, and then Daniel passed out, Steven still tickling his back softly, he smiled and went to sleep himself Owen just stripped down to his diaper and fell into bed, and he too passed out.

Sunday morning, the boys were still pretty worn out, so instead of their normal workout after breakfast, they chose to instead go for a nice light swim and then rest and relax in the hot tub, sauna and steam room for a bit. It was decided amongst all that it was definitely the right decision, because they felt a lot better for it. They all had lunch together, and then Daniel was informed that he really should be heading home, and even though he did not want to, he knew that he had to as well, but he asked Steven to keep his hockey gear and to take it to practice, and that he would meet them all there. With a final kiss goodbye, Daniel headed out to his dad's place.
