I wanted to pick the right moment and decided on the following Friday. Avery and I have established something of a tradition, on Friday's that we have swim meets, he'll stay over at my house or I'll stay over at his, this Friday was no exception. It worked out great, Avery and I were both continuing to burn up the competition and when we got home that night, everyone was in a celebratory mood. Nancy made us a dinner fit for concurring heroes and when everyone had their fill, I asked them if we could sit in the living room, I had something I wanted to tell them. I started to feel nervous and regretted the heavy meal, I am after all a stress vomiter, but Avery sat next to me and put his hand on my shoulder for support. I have to say, he's really shown his true colors this past few days, most 14 year old boys wouldn't have the maturity to stand by someone the way he has me. "What's the matter Benji?" said Nancy, "You look a little pale." "How can you tell?" chuckled Dylan. "Oh ha, ha, very funny," I replied, with a roll of the eyes. "Well, first off, I just want to say how thankful I am for everything you've done and are doing for me with the courts and the adoption and everything," I began. "Son you know you don't have to thank us for that," said George, "You're one of our boys now we'd do anything for you." "I know, but still, I want you to know that it's meant the world to me," I stated. "Benji, you haven't changed your mind have you?" asked Nancy, nervously. "No, God no, nothing like that," I exclaimed, "It's just that, well, if we're really going to be a family then I think there is something about me that I owe it to you to share." I took a deep breath, felt my shoulders tense up and the acid in my stomach start to churn like an Atlantic storm. "I'm, well, I'm uh, gay," I stated, then braced myself for the worst. "Oh, is that all?" said Nancy. "Huh? Is that all?" I repeated, "What do you mean is that all?" "Well, I don't want to hurt your feelings sweetheart but we knew," said Nancy. "How did you know?" I asked, dumbfounded. "Benji, you never talk about girls, I've seen girls flirt with you and you ignore them, you don't even really look at them," said George. "Well, what if I was just shy?" I replied. "That's what we thought at first, but then you brought this one home," Nancy smiled and patted Avery on the knee, "and that's when we knew." Avery and I were both blushing at this point. "Don't be embarrassed boys," said Nancy, "I've seen the way you look at each other, it's very sweet and I'm sure it must have felt very lonely for you, keeping this inside, I'm glad you have each other." "So, uh, you're not made then?" I asked. "No son, we're not mad," said George, putting his hand on my shoulder. "What about you Dylan?" I asked, he hadn't said a word this entire time. "Well that explains why you get a boner when we wrestle," Dylan laughed. "I DO NOT!" I exclaimed, my eyes bugging out and jaw hanging open. "I know, I'm just giving you a hard time," said Dylan, "I don't care what you do, its private and not my business." "Do you have anything you want to say, Jamie?" asked Nancy. "No, I knew about this months ago," he smiled. "How did you know?" said Dylan, George and Nancy, simultaneously. "He walked in on us while we were snuggling," I explained, "I couldn't think of an excuse so I told him the truth." "Since when can you keep a secret squirt?" said Dylan. "I can keep secrets," Jamie pouted. "Right," Dylan scoffed, "you're the biggest snitch I know, look at you, you look like you wanna go tell on someone right now." We all laughed at Dylan's joke and Jamie only made us laugh harder when he crossed his arms and stuck out his lower lip, in a huff. Dylan reached over and ruffled his hair, then they ran off upstairs. Avery and I had to endure an embarrassing sex talk and though George and Nancy lectured us on safety, they didn't try to tell us we shouldn't be doing anything. They told us that they hoped we would wait before going "all the way," but they didn't have a problem with our kissing. I was relieved that things had been so anticlimactic and by the time we got to bed that night, I felt like I was walking on air. That night we slept in my room, Jamie in his bed, Avery and I crammed into mine. I didn't care that it was a tight fit, I loved the closeness of it all, feeling my chest pressed against Avery's, our crotches pushed together, our legs entwined. We couldn't resist the urge to make out and were kissing pretty hot and heavy, when we started to hear the rhythmic sounds of Jamie, jerking off. "Um, Jamie, are you whackin it?" asked Avery. "Uh huh," said Jamie. "Yeah, uh, he does that," I explained. "That's kinda cool, can we watch?" Avery asked me. "I don't know, Jamie do you mind?" I asked. "Nah uh," said Jamie. Avery turned on the bedside lamp, then we sat up on my bed, Indian style. Jamie sat up and pulled his covers back so that we could watch the show. He had his Hanes tighty whities around his hips and he beat his cute little dick for all he was worth. The scene was having quite an effect on Avery, it's not that he was particularly turned on by Jamie, it was more the sexual tension, the naughtiness of watching another boy do something so intimate. I reached over and placed my hand on Avery's package, then rubbed my palm gently over the head of his boner. Avery copied me and was kneading my bulge while Jamie kept jerking off. When we were both hard, Avery and I pulled our underwear down around our hips and started jerking as well, that's when I had a brainstorm. "Hey guys, we could do a circle jerk," I stated. "Really, you want to?" asked Avery, curious to touch another boy's penis. "It's up to Jamie," I stated. "Sure, that sounds like fun," said the little blond. We made room for Jamie on my bed, then he sat next to Avery. Avery reached for Jamie's cock but was nervous and tentative. "It's ok Avery, you can touch it," said Jamie. Avery wrapped his fingers around Jamie's little pole, he slowly moved the skin up and down, enjoying the sensation of playing with another dick. Jamie began to stroke Avery and then Avery grabbed me. Everyone had a dick in his hand but me, so I decided to up the stakes by leaning over and kissing Avery while we jerked. My tongue darted in and out of Avery's mouth, my hands roamed all over his body, I even managed to reach over and give Jamie's balls a squeeze. I surprised Avery when I pulled away and dropped down on my knees. He'd blown me last, so it was my turn to return the favor. I took hold of Jamie's hand on Avery's cock, then moved it so that I could suck Avery's head while Jamie masturbated him. It only took a minute and I nearly drowned on Avery's creamy seed. "Wow, you sucked his dick," Jamie explained. "Yeap," I replied, pulling up my undies and sitting back down on the bed. "How did it feel?" asked Jamie. "Awesome," Avery purred. "Do you guys think you could try that on me sometime?" Jamie asked, excitedly. "Sorry squirt, that's for boyfriends only," I stated, "besides, I didn't think you liked boys like that." "I don't, but I don't know any girls that would do that and it looked like it felt good," he explained. "Well, you're just going to have to wait for little Miss Right," I giggled. "Yeah, and don't knock her up," laughed Avery. "Man, you guys suck," Jamie pouted, then laughed. After that, Jamie went back to his bed while Avery and I took our underpants off and climbed into mine. That had been quite a sexual adventure for Avery, me to in fact, so sleep came quickly. It's amazing how rapidly time passes. A month after coming out, our swim team was competing in the regional tournament and hoping for a spot in the state finals. Avery was a leading contender for freshman state champion in the 100 meter freestyle, while I was expected to place among the top 5 divers. This tournament was important because not only was it the regional final, but Avery would be going up against the only other swimmer in our division with a record to match his own, Rory Shaunesy from Brewster Academy. Brewster Academy was just across Lake Winnipesaukee, from Tyson's Corner, but as we were using their aquatic center, they had the home court advantage. We got our first look at Rory Shaunesy when his team came out for the qualifying round. Rory was built like Avery, the same lean abdomen that tapered down to a slender waist, powerful legs and big feet that drove him through the water. What made him stand out was his fire engine red hair. Avery got a little nervous as we watched Rory's qualifying laps; he was fast and would be a challenge to defeat. I had complete faith in Avery, he has the heart of a lion and I don't think there is anything he can't accomplish when he sets his mind to it. When the Brewster team got out of the pool, Robbie, Dexter, Camden, Neil and I set off for the diving pool. Our team performed well, everyone brought their A game and we edged out the Brewster divers in overall points. I was thrilled when their best diver, suffering from a cold, flubbed some of his initial dives allowing me to coast to an easy first place win. I would have liked to have beaten him on even terms, but if it meant getting our team into the state finals, a W is a W as they say in sports. Robbie and I made it back to the main pool just in time for Avery's race. We quickly found Tim and then took up seats that would give us the best view. Avery saw us but he didn't wave or smile, I think he was getting his mind into the zone, psyching himself up for the race. Rory Shaunesy walked over to him and they shook hands, they looked like they were talking but then the officials moved all of the swimmers to the starting blocks. They took their positions, the starter pistol fired and they were off. Avery and Rory shot out over the water and left the other swimmers in their wake. It was neck and neck between them, as soon as one would pull ahead, the other would pull even. They swam the length of the pool but Avery seemed to be a little taller and got more out of his kick off of the wall when he turned. Rory powered back and they continued to jockey for position. I couldn't tell who was in the lead, I was almost afraid to watch, it was so close and then, it was over. Avery Spencer defeated Rory Shaunesy with less than an eighth of a second between them. When they climbed out of the pool, our side erupted in cheers and Avery beamed with pride. I couldn't help but feel bad for Rory though, he'd had just as good a season as Avery had, but that had all come to an end in a bare fraction of a second. I'll give Rory credit though, he hung his head for a moment but then he picked it up, walked over to Avery and shook the victors hand like a true gentleman. Avery was all smiles when he joined us on the bench. "You did it Avery, you did it, I knew you could do it!" I gushed, as I clapped him on the back. "You were great buddy, just great," said Robbie. "Mate, that was so tense," said Tim, "I almost couldn't watch." "Thanks guys, Rory was a tough competitor, I thought he had me there for a minute," said Avery, as he toweled off. "No way," I smiled, "It was yours and you took it, one more race to go and you're the state champion." "We'll see," smiled Avery," but wait, how did you guys do?" "Oh, we did ok," I smiled coyly. "Ok my ass," said Robbie, "You're not the only one that took first place." Right there in front of everyone, Avery pulled me into a bear hug; lifted me off my feet and spun me around. "That's so great babe," he exclaimed, "the only thing that could make this day any better is knowing that you won to." After that, we settled in to watch the rest of the races and support our team. It wasn't as exciting as Avery's victory but in overall points, the John Adams Patriot's defeated three other schools and won the regional championship title. Everyone was excited, the locker room was a mass of cheering, shouting and snapping towels, when we headed back to change. Once we were dressed and dried, the team started heading out to the bus, everyone but Avery and I, that is. I started to follow the crowd when Avery put his hand on my shoulder and held me back. "Avery, we're going to miss the bus," I stated. "We're not taking the bus back," he smiled. "Uh, we're not?" I asked. "Nope, come on," said Avery, taking my hand in his and leading me in the other direction. "Benji, this is my cousin Amber," said Avery, introducing me to a girl in the parking lot, "She's going to be our driver tonight." "Nice to meet you Benji," she smiled, "My little cousin speaks very highly of you." "Thanks, it's nice to meet you too, can someone please tell me what's going on?" I asked. "Its simple babe, you've been so tense and so nervous about your hearing, I thought you needed to unwind a little so I'm taking you out on a date," Avery smiled. "Oh, ok, that sounds great," I smiled, "Just let me call home and ..." "Not to worry, I already took care of it," said Avery, taking my iPhone and turning it off. We walked over to Amber's car, a well used Jeep, and she drove us into Wolfeboro. We found a restaurant off of Main Street and she let us out to eat, telling Avery to call her when we were ready to be picked up. "Come on, I picked this place just for us," said Avery, again holding my hand in public and leading me inside. The hostess looked us over, looked at our joined hands, shrugged and led us to a table. She handed us menus, brought our drinks and then gave us time to think about what we wanted. "So what's so special about this place?" I asked. "Well, it's not the place so much as what's missing from it," said Avery. "Ok, I give, what's missing?" I asked. "It's Wolfeboro, we don't know anyone here, we can just be ourselves," smiled Avery, taking my hand again and holding it in his. "Avery, this is the best idea you've ever had," I grinned. We got a couple of strange looks from people, particularly when Avery leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, but no one said anything, no one got angry. We had a great dinner, but that wasn't all Avery had planned. He insisted on paying the bill, called Amber and she picked us up out front. We weren't going home yet; we had one more stop to make. Amber dropped us off in front of a small coffee shop, there was a band playing that night and they were covering songs from our favorite group, The Fray. We made our way to a half both, half table in the back of the crowded shop, it was dark and we cuddled in our corner, holding hands, leaning close and waiting for the music to start. "In case I forget to tell you, this is the best night ever," I smiled, then kissed him. "I'm glad I could do something to make you happy," Avery smiled. "Hey, just being with you makes me happy, I'm sorry if I've been a little on edge lately," I apologized. "You've had reason to be on edge, but that'll be over soon and I decided it's time we had some fun," said Avery. We sat there, in the dark corner, making out until we heard someone clear his throat. We broke apart and turned to find Rory Shaunesy standing there with a blond boy. "Uh, hi guys," said Rory. "Uh, Rory, hi, uh, it's not what..." I Avery blushed. "Not what it looks like?" smiled Rory, "It looked like kissing to me." "W-w-we were just..." Avery stuttered. "Relax Avery, this is Chad," said Rory, gesturing at the blond boy, and for the first time we noticed they were holding hands. "This is Benji," said Avery, introducing me. "Hi, you just won the diving competition, right?" asked Rory. "Uh, yeah," I answered, nervously. "Guy's chill out, Chad's my boyfriend, you don't have to be afraid of us," said Rory. "Your boyfriend?" said Avery. "That's right, and judging from that kiss, I'm guessing Benji is yours?" Rory grinned. "Yeah, that's right," smiled Avery, finally relaxing. "Do you mind if we join you guys?" asked Rory. "No, not at all, please sit down," I replied. Over the next hour, we really got to know Rory and Chad. Rory was a Navy brat, attending Brewster and living with his uncle who was the headmaster. Chad was from Utah and his family had been going to Brewster for generations. The two of them had met last fall when they were both on the wrestling team, Rory ended up breaking his arm and being unable to finish the season, which only made his swimming ability all that much more impressive to me. They were a cute couple, the red head and the blond, and they were both pretty cool, Avery and I were delighted to make some friends that were like us. "So, how about you guys?" asked Chad. "What about us?" I replied. "You know, how did you guys meet?" "Oh, well I got beaten up and Avery came to my rescue," I smiled. "Wow, really?" asked Rory. "No, he's exaggerating," Avery giggled, "He did get punched in the eye but all I did was rescue his backpack." "See, I tell the story much better," I smiled. "Well, I think that's kind of sweet," said Chad. "How far have you guys gone?" asked Rory, "you know, with sex." "Oh, we're pretty tame," said Avery, "You know, just the basics." "Ok, so who's the top, and who's the bottom?" asked Chad. "Oh, we haven't done that yet," I replied. "You guys haven't fucked? Why, what are you waiting for?" asked Chad. "Easy babe, that's personal for some people," said Rory, giving Chad's hand a squeeze. "No, its ok," I smiled, "We're just taking our time." "That's cool, I totally respect that," said Rory. "So how about you guys then, who pitches, who catches," said Avery. "We've tried it both ways but..." Rory began. "But I'm crazy for his cock," said Chad, reaching over and groping Rory. "Chaddy," giggled Rory, as he blushed. "Awwww, Chaddy," Avery and I laughed in unison. We kept teasing each other for a few minutes but when the music started we all got into it. By the end of the hour long set, I was making out with Avery while Chad and Rory sat across from us in a lip lock of their own. We had a great time with our new friends, they had all kinds of fun stories and great advice about sex, they were very experienced. When the concert was over, we traded emails and said our goodbyes. Amber was waiting for us out front and Avery pulled me into a tight embrace. We kissed passionately, that is until Rory interrupted us. "Jesus guys, get a room," smiled the handsome red head, as he and his boyfriend walked back to their campus. "That was pretty bold," I smiled. "What the hell, it's not like anyone we know was going to see us," said Avery. But he was wrong, someone did see us. Just as Avery pulled me in for that kiss, Richard Dockins, the chief asshole of John Adams High, was driving past us with his father. We didn't know it then, but that kiss would have major ramifications in the all to near future.
