Cody made his way down the wooden staircase polished to sheen, and thumped
his way behind Sean to the front door, which probably was as expensive as
it looked. Heavy metal hinges attached the door to its frame, while the
door itself was at least four inches of dark oak. There were not much
patterns carved upon this particular piece of work, but nonetheless, it
looked formidable with its deadbolts and black handle. Cody stepped
outside, and took his time to force his sock-clad feet into his shoes. He
was forced to use a shoe-horn as he was laden with the two shirts of the
twins.

"CODY!" he heard a shrill cry.

He glanced up. Seth was waving from the interior of the BMW through an open
window, still bare-chested. Cody noticed Sebastian in the background,
visible shivering from the chilling British air. Sean was already on his
way to the car, so Cody hastened, and jogged along the path in front of the
house, breaths steaming from his mouth. Behind him, John shut the door and
secured the entrance with the deadbolt. Sean held the door open for him,
and he bent his head while crawling into the car.

"Hey, Cody." He heard Regina's silky voice coming in the direction of the
passenger's seat, as she groomed her hair. He heard the soft static
crackling as the plastic comb reversed the polarities of the electrons in
her hair.

"Shut the door, Cody! We're freezing here!" cried Seth. Cody realized the
negligence on his part, and slammed the door with a little more strength
than he had anticipated. Regina winced with the sound. Cody felt the shirts
being pulled from his hand.

"Thanks. I was occupied with chasing this little nutter, so it must have
somehow slipped my mind that we were still shirtless." Sebastian said. His
teeth were visibly chattering and he was obviously shaking from the
cold. Cody reached out and pressed his freezing fingers onto Sebastian's
bare back. The reaction was instantaneous. Sebastian jumped at the contact,
while arching his back and started squealing with discomfort, howling
"Stop, Stop!" while trying to edge away frantically from Cody's attacking
fingers. He grabbed hold of Seth, who was entangled in the shirt in the
process of trying to help his brother. The scene did look rather comical,
as Sean did nothing whatsoever to assist the twins, merely sitting at the
door and smirking at the situation, while Seth struggled to pull his own
shirt on, grunting with anguish.

Finally, Seth disentangled himself from the shirt and quickly pulled
Sebastian towards him, shielding him from Cody's relentless attacks.

"Here, put on your shirt. I'll deal with this." He assured Sebastian, and
quickly moved between Cody and his twin. Cody felt himself being tickled,
and returned the assault equally aggressively. It was a few moments before
John finally entered the 5-series and shut the door, radiating an air of
order. Cody got off of Seth quickly and fastened his seatbelt. Three of
them were panting from the exertion. Sebastian discovered that the Apple
IPOD still attached to his waistband and inserted an earpiece into Seth's
ear, while hitting the "Play" button, before plugging the other earphone in
his own ear. They moved closer to each other, Seth's arm snaking behind
Sebastian to his right side, hugging him tightly. The amount of affection
that was shown was incredible.

Cody turned to Sean, who was leaning against the car door, temple pressed
to the window. He appeared to be in a state of thoughtfulness, detached
from the immediate world around him. Cody leant back against the leather
seat and folded his arms across his chest, closing his eyes and taking in
the scent of the car. Pine Cone, as usual, he noticed.

He closed his eyes, meaning to enjoy the journey. However, his peaceful
half-slumber was broken by a pressure on his shoulder. He glanced to his
right. Sean had evidently fallen asleep, and was using his shoulder as a
pillow. Cody smiled, and slowly guided Sean to his thighs, where he had
placed his folded jacket. With a small sigh, Sean leaned sideways and
rested his head on Cody's jacket-clad thighs. Beside him, Seth giggled and
slowly reached over with his left hand and flicked Sean's ear, causing a
little "Umph..." from Sean, followed by a half-hearted swipe with his right
hand, as a ploy to remove the irritation. Seth let out another chuckle and
ceased his actions, after a pat on the shoulder from a frowning Sebastian.

Cody could hear the faint murmurs of John and Regina while he slowly
dropped off to sleep, the gentle thrumming of the engine and soft bumps as
the car passed over uneven road keeping him from falling into a deep
sleep. He laid his hands on Sean's back and ran his fingers over Sean's
spine, cherishing the shape. He was vaguely aware of Seth's fingers slowly
rubbing his neck for the remainder of the journey.

The sound of silence jolted him from his slumber. After opening his eyes,
he struggled to see in the hazy blur that surrounded him. He could hear the
various breaths of his peers around him, before he heard Regina say "We've
arrived, boys. Get up! Cody, could you wake all of them please? They're
really heavy sleepers, especially Sean. He'll go to sleep anywhere at
all. The twins won't be much of a problem." She opened the door and stepped
out of the car. John was busy securing the steering wheel and the automatic
gear.

After a few seconds of frantic shaking, Cody realized that his method was
not effective. He quickly pulled up Sean's shirt and started tickling him
with his cold fingers. Sean awoke with a shriek, fending off Cody's
hands. Task accomplished, Cody gave Seth a hard jab in the ribs, rousing
him immediately, along with Sebastian, who stirred less than a second after
Seth squawked and smacked Cody round the shoulder as payback.

They stepped into the dimly lit restaurant. An Indian man at the counter
waved them in, with a funky accent, saying "Please wait for your seat. You
will be seated soon," as if he had rehearsed it the whole morning. They
waited for a few seconds before a waiter directed them to a table, with
chairs at one end, and a long couch connected to the wall at the other
end. Cody squeezed into the couch, and was immediately joined by Sean and
the twins, who shoved and pushed as they tried to force themselves into the
confined space.

The food was good; curry chicken with a delicious spice that Cody loved,
but could not handle large amounts of. John disposed of that problem by
finishing off Cody's remnants, while the twins just ordered the same food,
prompting Regina to suggest that they shared a plate, saving cost. Cody
noticed that Seth was more of the type who gobbled up his food without
pausing to savour the taste, whereas Sebastian chewed each mouthful slowly,
enjoying the luscious taste of the marinated chicken. Sean had abandoned
all hope of eating with knife and fork, and was tearing strips of meat off
a drumstick with his teeth, while using his hands to hold the
chicken. Regina looked on with disgust.

He finally finished his meal and leant back on the chair, resisting the
urge to belch. He rested his hands on his enlarged stomach, and watched
Sean copycat his actions, while the twins squabbled over the last piece of
chicken that was on their plate.

"Taste good, don't they?" John leant over. "We discovered this place a
couple of months after we moved in. Does wonders for the taste buds." He
smacked his lips and pulled Cody's unfinished meal towards him, digging in
demurely with his knife and fork. Cody glanced over at the twins, who had
cut the piece of chicken into two and were picking it to the
bone. Sebastian leant back against the seat, exposing his engorged belly.

"Cool, you've got one too." Seth said, patting his brother's bare stomach.

"Ohh, don't." Sebastian groaned. "I'm too full for you to do that. I'll
puke all over you."

Seth smiled and ceased the action. John finished Cody's remnants in a
matter of minutes and called for the bill. Cody made his way to the
bathroom to wash his hands, Sean and the twins following closely. When they
returned, John and Regina had already settled the bill, and had adorned
their jackets.

"Come on, boys. I look forward to a nice Saturday at home." John exclaimed.

"Urgh, I can hardly walk." Sean groaned, while clutching his stomach with
both hands. He limped slowly to the car and with a huge effort, climbed
in. The twins followed suit, before Cody, who made sure the door was shut
properly and that his seat belt was fastened.

"I'm sure all of you are too tired for a tour around Cody's new school."
John said. He received a few groans as a response. A peaceful, quiet ride
ensued.

They arrived after approximately fifteen minutes, and Cody groggily made
his way out of the car, through the freezing cold lawn, through the
formidably furnished door, up the magnificent staircase and finally into
Sean's room, where he half-heartedly climbed the ladder to the upper bunk
of the double-decker bed. He collapsed onto the sheets, feeling too
lethargic to do anything else. He turned over onto his belly, and sniffed
the blanket. The very same pine-cone aroma along with his own body scent
plunged his senses into overdrive. At this stage of life, he was too
innocent and naïve to be sexually active. All that mattered to him at the
moment was that Sean was his ultimate saviour, and that he loved his
step-brother as much as he possibly could. Thinking about him made him
think about his very own parents, and what would have happened if he had a
blood brother. The past day after his acceptance into the family had been a
very long day indeed. So many thoughts to mull over, so many emotions
running through his confused cerebrum at the moment.

A loud thumping on the wooden floor made him realize that he had forgotten
his three new peers. Sean ran into the room, pain from overindulgence of
food forgotten. The twins strode slowly into the room, Seth taking care to
shut the door behind them. Cody could hear the crackling of static against
smooth skin and hair as shirts were pulled off. A smacking sound resonated
around the room and Cody heard Sean grunt loudly before the floor groaned
under a heavy weight. Cody glanced down from the bunk and saw Sean on his
knees, clutching his stomach, Seth leaning over him, giggling. He could
only assume that Seth had yet again claimed another victim of his
pranks. He closed his eyes again and pressed his face into the sheets.

"Hey, where's Cody?" he heard one of the twins ask, possibly Sebastian,
judging by the clear tone of concern.

He let out a muffled grunt to ensure that they were able to ascertain his
location.

"Oh." Acknowledged the twin. A slight shaking of the bed relayed to him
that someone was climbing the ladder. A familiar scent told him that Sean
was on the bunk with him. Another series of shakes and both of the twins
could be heard shuffling atop the bed. Sean moved to allocate space for
them.

"Here, let me give you a back rub." He felt his shoulders being firmly
rubbed over his shirt. A gentle caressing of his sides confirmed that the
twins were playing their part as well. He groaned gently as the tension was
released from his muscles.

"Let's get this off." He heard Sean mutter, as he felt himself being
flipped over and his shirt being unbuttoned. When Sean attempted to pull
the shirt over his head, Cody did not react, being too lethargic. Sean let
out a grunt of impatience and unbuttoned Cody's shirt to the bottom, before
pulling it off his arms. He felt himself being gently flipped over again,
but Sean's cold fingers quickly made themselves apparent against his bare
skin.

"Aah! Cold!" he howled, shaking his body side to side.

"Sorry." Sean replied, and he felt Sean's fingers being pushed under him,
so that his stomach could warm up the cold fingers. He moaned again, but
resisted the sensation. After a few minutes, Sean resumed massaging Cody's
bare back, while the twins felt him all over, occasionally scratching him
where there was a freckle, or just pressing in deep on pressure points. It
felt wonderful. He dropped off to sleep without even realizing it.

A sudden burst of light roused him from his slumber. Letting out a moan, he
grabbed the pillow and tucked his head under it, a last resort to prolong
his sleep and a hopeless effort to block out the light. He felt the pillow
being pulled from his grip, and he groaned with annoyance. He made to pull
the blanket over his head, but pressure on the sheets prohibited him from
achieving his goal.

"Oh no, you don't. You've been asleep long enough now." He heard Sean say
in a mocking tone.

"Urgh, where are the twins?"

"Oh, their parents came and picked them up more than three hours ago. I
just came back from swimming practice."

"You go for swimming practice on a Saturday afternoon after lunch?"

"My dear Cody! It is now eight o clock. You have been asleep for more than
six hours, and counting. Mom and Dad have gone out for dinner, and have
left McDonalds for us."

"Mmh, you go and eat then. I wanna sleep."

"Uh-uh. You're going to eat, whether you like it or not. Come on, it'll be
fun. There's a nice massage chair that Dad bought like two weeks
ago. You're gonna love it!"

Cody groaned again with protest as Sean prodded and shook him. At last, he
managed to work the sleep out of himself, and slowly climbed down from the
bed. Sean jumped from the bunk and landed right in front of him, bending
down.

"Come on, I'll give you a piggy back!" he giggled. Cody obliged, and
climbed onto Sean's bare back. He felt a slight dampness and exclaimed,

"You haven't changed yet!"

"Nice of you to notice, you pig. I came back in my normal clothes and I
just slipped out of them. Too lazy to take a shower. Now just enjoy the
ride." He plodded out of the room and down the magnificent staircase, bare
feet slapping the floor. Cody enjoyed the feeling of his chest pressing
against Sean's back, clutched his bare shoulders and managed to acquire a
few seconds of sleep before Sean slowly leaned backwards and allowed him to
alight onto a cosy leather chair.

"Hold on while I get the food. Don't go to sleep yet!" Sean warned, as he
ran off toward the kitchen. Cody sat up and observed the surroundings. This
was the room in which he had fallen asleep yesterday. He spotted the couch
on which he had laid yesterday and also the German shepherd, which was yet
again slumbering upon it, tail twitching and sides heaving gently. A
blanket was visible on the floor, probably brought in by Sean.

A soft padding on the carpet told him that Sean had returned with the
food. He watched as his step brother's arm stretched out in front of him
and set the food down in a crackling of brown recycled paper. Sean's entire
frame was then visible as he stepped in front of the chair. Cody nearly
choked at the sight. Sean was clad in nothing but a pair of black
Speedos. At the moment, he knew he wanted nothing in his life but to stare
at Sean's exposed body for the next five minutes. The firmness of the
preteen's body enraptured him, from the defined chest area ending in the
two moderately sized nipples that he adored down to the faint beginnings of
a six-pack forming on the stomach, along with the inwardly inclined
navel. Now that Sean had no trousers on, Cody admired the strong legs that
were attached to his new brother. The freckles that he loved so much were
scattered around Sean's body, bringing thrills to his heart every time his
eyes ran over them.

He could not help but let his gaze stray over the jet-black Speedos, where
an apparent bulge containing Sean's boyhood was visible. He tried not to
allow Sean to notice his reaction, so he leant back on the seat and dug
into the paper bag. The slightly taller boy eased himself onto the chair
beside him, and his heart nearly jumped out of his mouth, as he realized
that sheer beauty was beside him. He finished the quarter pounder and chips
relatively quickly, but he could not help staring at Sean's body and
admiring it, as Sean was engrossed in the programme on the television. He
could have burnt holes in Sean's chest and stomach just by staring at it.

At last, when he finished, he carefully placed everything inside the paper
bag, picked up Sean's already finished meal, and made his way to the
nearest dustbin, which was in the dining room. He binned the trash, and
spotted a tap in a nearby bathroom. He washed his hands thoroughly with the
"Protex" soap and, not finding any towels to dry his hands with, decided to
leave them out to dry. He made his way back to the den.

Sean was still lying back on the chair, lazily eyeing the action on the
screen. Cody slipped in beside him and pulled the blanket over both of
them. With a manic grin, he reached dug his icy cold left hand beneath
Sean's body and pressed hard against his back, at the same time, he pressed
down with his right hand onto Sean's front, forcing Sean to take both sides
of the frost attack.

"Aaaaaah!" Sean screamed, hands' shoving Cody's freezing fingers away,
trying to free himself from the contact. Cody smiled evilly and pressed his
thumb and last finger onto Sean's nipples, moving them a little. Sean
bucked with ecstasy and moaned "Aaaaahaaaaaahaaaa!!" loudly, clutching
Cody's hand.

"I'm gonna kill you to death!" he grunted, eyes screwed up in a frantic
effort to resist the cold.

"Not a chance!" Cody murmured back. Eventually, his hands warmed up and
Sean got used to the cold. He felt Sean squirming slightly as he lightly
stroked the older boy's chest and stomach with his right hand.

Cody felt Sean roll over onto his back, and struggled to get away,
anticipating revenge. However, Sean just pulled him onto his body and said
"Just relax."

Cody heeded the reassuring words and leant back against Sean, marveling at
the soft contact of his back against Sean's firm but smooth, cool skin. He
could literally smell the chlorine along with the never-fading pine-cone
aroma. He felt a hard contact on the back of his head and realized that he
was reclining on Sean's collarbone. He shifted his head a little to the
right, and found Sean's soft shoulder. All the while, Sean's hands stroked
his chest and stomach, occasionally tickling his sides, causing him to
squeal with mirth. He nestled his head up under Sean's chin and sighed with
content.

They enjoyed the program on the television, Cody drifting in and out of
sleep, encouraged by Sean's gentle hands. His thoughts started drifting
again and his mind wandered. He shifted himself, trying to acquire a better
position, and accidentally elbowed Sean in his stomach, causing the latter
to grunt.

"Ugh! You've winded me!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Sean." He replied, while gently easing himself back onto
Sean's outstretched torso, taking care not to exert too much pressure on
Sean's tender abdomen. He failed, and ground his hip into Sean's stretched
stomach. Sean let out a yelp and gazed reproachfully into Cody's eyes.

"Maybe you've got some motor deficiency." he teased.

"Hmph." Cody snorted, and jerked his body onto Sean's pushing the air out
of the boy's body with a loud "Oomph!"

"That's it! No more playing!" Sean mocked Cody, while hugging him around
the waist. Cody eased down onto Sean's chest and returned to his former
state of half-lucidness. The smell of chlorine and the monotonous droning
of the television were more than catalysts for his slumber.
