Warning: This chapter contains no sex (still). If it is illegal in your country of residence to read fiction which does not contain sex between minors, please do not read any further. Yea, Im sorry. Ive written some bits which I think Jays really going to enjoy (youll meet Jay in this chapter), but they wouldnt fit just yet, so hell have to wait.
Jay was gay. Hed known since he was about 10. He wasnt sure what had finally made him realize, but hed always known that he didnt feel the same way about girls as other boys his age did. And then, little things had started to make him notice. Like the fact that there were certain boys at school he couldnt take his eyes off.
The problem was, everybody seemed to think being gay was a bad thing. Jay was pretty sure it couldnt be, or else why didnt you have a choice about it? Something you couldnt control couldnt be that bad could it?
His dad hadnt seemed to mind too much when hed told him. Jays dad was a pretty cool guy. He was some kind of a designer Jay wasnt sure really, but he thought it might be something to do with fashion. If there was one thing wrong with him though, it was that for him, work always came first.
Jay thought that might have been the reason hed lost his mom. Shed taken them both by surprise, packing her bags while they were both out. Theyd met her on the way out as they got home, and shed taken the car and driven off without a word. Jay and his dad had stood there, not knowing what to say, for all of five minutes, before Jays dad looked at him and said, Im gonna make this work out, son.
And he had. They had a great life, with everything they needed a new house in a nice part of town, plenty of money, and hardly anything to worry about. Jays dad still spent a lot of time working, but he still managed to find enough time for his son.
Jay had done okay at his old school, and in his spare time he hung out with friends or went swimming. Which reminded him, he was going to have to explore this new area some time, and find out where everything was. He really hoped there was a leisure park or a pool somewhere nearby.
From what hed seen of the neighborhood so far, it was pretty great. It was reasonably quiet, but there were still plenty of shops in the area but the best thing so far seemed to be the neighbors. He guessed it had been kinda wrong, perving on the kid across the road like that... but that didnt change the fact that hed been cute as hell. He looked to be slightly taller than Jay, and his hair was short and black, contrasting nicely with his light skin.
Jays mind wandered, imagining him and the boy from across the street together. In his imagination he grabbed the boy by the hand, dragged him into the bedroom a daydream hed had countless times before. And yet, this time it seemed more real.
He wondered why he was so keen on this particular guy. Hed played around with a few boys before his old school had had a really open kind of atmosphere, and quite a few of his friends had admitted to being gay, or just been willing to experiment but hed never felt quite the same way about them as he did about Alex.
Usually, when hed see a cute guy, hed maybe indulge in a fantasy and sometimes try and get to know them, but hed soon forget about them. This was different. He couldnt get Alex out of his mind and every time he thought about him, he felt a kind of painful longing feeling he didnt really recognize.
Jay came back down to earth. Of course the guy across the street wouldnt be gay. The cute guys never were. He heard the front door close. That must be the last of the furniture. He jumped up off his bed and ran downstairs, where his dad was already unpacking some boxes, and started to look for his things among the piles of boxes and cases littering the floor.
