I was super nervous the next morning when I walked into home room, but even more nervous when I saw there was no Bastion waiting for me. He was never late and most times he beat me to class, so where was he? I sat there nervously hoping and praying he'd show up, but when the bell finally rang I knew he wasn't going to make it.

For whatever reason, Bastion was absent. I had this really sick feeling in my stomach and I suddenly pictured him laying in his bed suffering while his parents, the doctors, went off to their office to help their sick patients. Of course that was silly, even if his parents weren't there for him, Maria would be. Still it was awful to think about and I wished I had tried harder to stay with him last night or bring him home with me. I had this awful feeling that Bastion's absence had something to do with what happened at Miguel's yesterday.

I somehow made it through the first half of the day and at lunch I went straight to my locker and dug out my I-phone and called Bastion. He didn't answer right away but eventually I heard his sweet voice say "Hello."

"Bastion, it's me...Cody. I was so worried. Are you sick?"

"Nothing serious," he said sounding as if I might have woke him up, "I have a slight temperature and diarrhea, but father says it's nothing to worry about."

"You don't think....I mean if Miguel is sick and he gave you something...I'll kill him," I said gritting my teeth. I was standing outside the cafeteria and no one was around.

"No, I don't think it was that. I wasn't feeling too well before we went there. It might be the flu."

"Well, I miss you and I am coming to see you after school...if that's all right."

"Yes, but I don't want to give it to you, so no kissing," he giggled.

"It will be hard not to, but if you insist. You just don't know how hard it is getting through the day without you around."

"I'm sorry, I've slept most of the morning. I feel selfish, but it couldn't be helped."

"No, it's okay. I'm just sorry you're sick. Hey, I have to go...but I'll come straight there when I get out of school. I can't stay long, but I have to see you...even if for a little while."

"I will probably just sleep till you get here. Maria has been pampering me all morning, and I'll let her know you are coming."

"Ok, cool. Well...bye...I love you."

"I love you too and I can't wait for you to come over."

"Yeah, me too. Bye again...see you later."

I didn't feel much like eating but I grabbed some milk and a cookie and sat down near the window and stared out at nothing. Suddenly I felt someone sit down beside me and when I turned to see who it was I almost spit out my milk.

"I told you I didn't want to ever see or talk to you again," I said to Trey who sat looking at me defiantly.

"No, you have to listen to me," he said sounding desperate.

I had to give it to the kid, he wasn't afraid of me, even after what he'd done.

"You got two minutes to say what you came to say, then leave and never bother me again."

"Cody, listen to me. I can't tell you everything in two minutes. Please, don't hate me for what Miguel did. He made me do stuff too. I thought...I thought he was my friend, but now....now, I see what he really  is. I'm so sorry about what happened. I tried to talk him out of it.  I tried.....I really tried," he said starting to sound as if he might start bawling at any minute.

"You didn't have to be there or help him," I said gritting my teeth.

"I know, I should have gone home but....Cody...I'm scared of him. He....makes me do stuff and he...he hurts me sometimes."

"What...what do you mean?" I asked feeling a little scared.

"He....he's big and he's mean when he doesn't get his way. He....forced me to do it the first time and it hurt really bad, but I started to like it then....well, he got mad at me one day and he hit me a couple of times. I told my folks I fell down at school but they didn't believe me."

"So what do you want me to do?" I asked trying to sound tough.

"Nothing, just forget it," he said starting to get up.

I put my hand on his arm and pulled him back down, "Wait, tell me..what do you want me to do?"

He lowered his head and I saw a tear run down his cheek, "I want you to forgive me, that's all. You don't have to ever see me again, just don't hate me."

"I...I'll have to think about it, okay. I'm not saying no, I'm just not sure....okay?"

"Sure, I understand," he said sadly, "but I won't be around much longer so...if you can let me know pretty soon."

"What do you mean you won't be around much longer?" I asked as the hair stood up on the back of my neck. 

He shrugged, "I might be...going somewhere...moving that's all. I gotta go, you have my number...you can call me if you decide to forgive me...okay?"

I nodded, "I have to talk to Bastion first. He's sick today, but I'm going to his house after school."

"Oh, okay...well....see ya," he said getting up slowly, "and thanks for listening to me."

I nodded and watched as he walked away. I got up and threw away my half eaten cookie and my milk and went back to my locker to grab my books. I wondered why Trey was moving. Had his folks figured out that Miguel was a bad influence and moving to protect Trey from him?

Something didn't feel right and I couldn't wait to talk to Bastion and see if we could figure it out. One thing  was for sure, as much as I wanted to hate Trey for what happened with Miguel it was pretty clear that he was a victim too.

English Lit was the most grueling hour of my life without Bastion there and by the time I got to gym class I was ready to unwind. Only problem was I would have to face both Miguel and Trey. As luck would have it we played shirts and skins and both of them were on my team, the shirts. 

Miguel kept giving me this shit-eating grin and winking at me and finally I had had enough. Grabbing the basketball from one of my team mates I launched it at Miguel and hit him squarely in the face bloodying his nose and causing him to yelp in pain. 

I'm usually not a violent person, well not without a good reason, but I was still pissed over what he'd done to Bastion and I figured he got what he deserved.

Coach blew his whistle and yelled, "Graham, what the hell was that all about?"

"Sorry coach," I said holding up my hands, "It was an accident. I thought he was open."

"You okay,  Sanchez?" he said going to where Miguel stood trying to stop the bleeding.

"He hit me on purpose man," he mumbled to the coach, then yelling at me in Spanish he rushed me and knocked me to the gym floor.

He was bigger than me, but I was wiry and I knew all about leverage and how to turn the tables on big guys. As we rolled on the floor I flipped him onto his back and straddled him and held his arms down. His face was covered in blood from his nose, but he didn't look like he was hurt too bad. 

"It was an accident," I said through gritted teeth,  "Just like what happened yesterday. Now, we're even."

He stopped struggling for a minute then coach pulled me off of him and sent me to the showers to cool off and Miguel to the school nurse. I stripped off and took a cold shower and I hadn't been in there long when Trey came in and told me that coach wanted to see me. I hurried up and dried off and got dressed and went to his office feeling as cocky as a 12 year old can when they're about to get busted.

"What was all that about Graham? I know you and you're not a bad kid. What did he do to you that made you want to get even? I'm not stupid. I know Miguel is a rough kid, he's had a hard life and he can be trouble.  If it's a personal thing all I ask is keep it out of school, okay?"

Was that all I was going to get, a lecture? Man, it was my lucky day after all.

"Well, maybe  I didn't mean to hurt him, but yeah...I threw it on purpose," I admitted.

Coach sighed heavily and rubbed his eyes, "Tell you what, if Sanchez doesn't make a big deal out of it, neither will I. You better hope he doesn't decide to get revenge though, these Hispanic boys are tough and mean."

"I can handle myself," I said feeling ten feet tall and invincible at the moment.

"I hope so, why don't you wait in my office till the bell rings. I need to get back out there and see what those monkeys are doing. And Cody, a word of caution, watch your back for a while."

"I will coach, thanks."

I sat there studying the plaques on the wall and staring out the window at the other boys playing around on the gym floor and worried about what I'd done. I'd never had good control of my emotions, good or bad, and sometimes I acted on them without thinking. And the worst part was I had probably made a serious enemy for both me and Bastion.

The bell finally rang and I headed toward the bus but suddenly someone honked and I looked over to see Maria in the pick up lane. I smiled and headed her way and she rolled down the window.

"Bastion sent me to pick you up so you would have more time to visit," she said smiling, "you are the best medicine for my nino right now."

I smiled and thanked her and slid in beside her and she patted my leg, "You are a good boy to care for my Bastion so much and he is very lucky to have found you."

"Aww...I'm the lucky one. And meeting you was nice too," I said grinning.

"I love both of you boys as if you were my own," she said smiling. I had often wondered if she had family or ever wanted to get married and have kids of her own.

"Do...do you have any kids...I mean have you ever been married or..anything?" I asked blushing.

"No, none of my own. I have been with the Grant's since Bastion was born. He is like my own son. I love him with all my heart. And now," she said smiling warmly at me, "I have another son to love."

I smiled and blushed, "You're really cool Maria. Bastion is lucky to have you around. It must suck to be tied down though."

"Oh, no..it is fine. Someday Bastion will be all grown up and he won't need me anymore, then it will be sad."

"He will always love you though....he talks about you all the time. He says he doesn't know what he would do without you."

"He is a good boy, he never gives me trouble, and he shares his feelings with me. I know he loves you very much and you are very good to him. I know some people might not understand, but I do and I approve."

My face was bright red, but I had known for a while that Maria knew about us and didn't have any problem with our relationship.

"I love him too," I admitted, "I know that sounds weird, but it's just how I feel."

"Love is never bad Cody, no matter what kind of love it is. God says we should love everyone, even our enemies."

"I'm not very good at that," I admitted, "I think I made a big mistake today with one of them."

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that. If I can help I will."

"No, but I think Bastion can."

She nodded, "Well, we are here now," she said as we rolled into the huge garage, "Go to him and be happy."

I bounced out of the car and hightailed it to Bastion's quarters and pushed my way inside without knocking. His bedroom door was open and Bastion was sitting up in bed staring at his laptop.

"Cody!" he said excitedly looking up and smiling at me.

He looked sleepy eyed but otherwise well and I threw myself into him and gave him a fierce hug and kissed his face. It wasn't as good as kissing his lips, but it was better than nothing.

"I missed you," I whispered, "and I have lots to tell you."

"Oh, sit down then. Maria is going to bring us a snack. I'm afraid it's Jello for me, but she had promised to bring you something much better."

The snack was a home made cinnamon roll that was to die for and a big glass of milk and I was starved after skipping lunch and I devoured it in three bites while Bastion slowly spooned down his Jello.

"That good?" I teased.

"Actually I like Jello, but I'm not very hungry. My tummy is still a bit upset."

"Aww..sorry," I said rubbing his cute flat tummy through his t-shirt, "want me to kiss it and make it all better?"

Bastion giggled, "Why don't you climb up here beside me and tell me about your day instead."

I drained the glass of milk and sat it down on the bed side table and climbed into bed with Bastion and snuggled in beside him.

"Well, I don't want to upset you but I have news......" 

I spent the next twenty minutes telling him about Trey and then about what happened in Gym class and by the time I was finished he was looking glum.

"Oh, Cody...I feel so sorry for Trey. Please tell me you'll consider forgiving him. I already have, in fact I feel no ill will toward either of them. I have put it all behind me and I hope you can do the same."

"I feel sorry for him too...and I worry about what he said about not being around too much longer. You don't think......?"

"That he might want to harm himself? I thought of that as well. It's not unusual for abused children to end their lives if they feel there is no hope. Perhaps you should call him later just to check up on him."

"Yeah, I guess. But what am I going to do about Miguel. I think I made a major enemy today and he's no light weight. I don't worry about me so much, but he may go after you too....just to be a dick."

"I'm not totally helpless Cody," Bastion said smiling, "and usually we're together so I think we'll be all right."

"I hope so, I'm sorry I lost my cool."

"My hero," Bastion sighed, "defending my virtue, just like a knight in shining armor."

I laughed, "Well, I'd rather take your virtue right now, but I'm sure you're not in the mood for that."

"Well, not for full blown sex, but I think oral might be okay. I find an orgasm always makes me feel better when I'm ill. When I was a child I used to masturbate constantly when I was sick," he said blushing.

"God, that's hot," I said leaning in and nuzzling his neck, "let me at that thing."

I hopped up and closed the bedroom door and latched it and we stripped off our clothes and fell into a 69position. He smelled as if he had showered recently and I smiled. He was expecting this. His cock was rock hard and leaking and his pre-cum was delicious. I licked his shaft and the head as he mimicked my actions somewhere down there between my legs and when I began to suck and lick his balls he did that too. 

"Copy cat," I mumbled and he laughed around my balls and it felt awesome.

I quickly swallowed his cock down and he moaned then did the same for me. It felt wonderful and all my fears and worries melted away in Bastion's hot wet mouth. Neither of us took long to come and although we didn't come simultaneously (man that's a big word) we weren't far apart. He came first then as I was gobbling down his spunk I began to shoot my goo down his throat.

We licked each other clean then got dressed again and I piled down beside him again.

"That was amazing," I panted.

"I feel so much better now. I think I may be able to come back to school tomorrow."

"I hope so, I don't know if I can last another day on my own," I pouted.

"Awww...poor baby," he said cuddling me, "how selfish of me to be sick," he teased.

I chuckled, "Yeah, but I forgive you."

"How long can you stay love?"

I looked at my watch, "Yikes, I should really be going I guess. I want to beat my mom home. I know Danny won't rat me out but if she gets home first I may have some explaining to do."

"Well, Maria has agreed to drive you home and I think I would like to get out for a while so I'll ride with you," he said grinning.

"Cool, we can hold hands since Maria knows all about us now."

"Are you just now figuring that out?" Bastion laughed.

"Well, she sort of made it clear on the way over here. She's really cool."

"Yes, she's the best. Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, but it's chilly out there better put on some sweats or something."

"Good idea," he said hopping up.

In the car we scooted together on the back seat and snuggled up with one seat belt around both of us. We not only held hands, but we made out a little without kissing. Maria ignored us and when we got to my house she turned and said, "Okay, young lovers time for you to separate," she chuckled.

We reluctantly untangled ourselves and Bastion walked me to the door and we hugged goodbye and I went inside quickly before I dragged Bastion inside and abducted him...lol.

Danny met me at the door, "Where have you been. I was worried."

"Where do you think bro, at Bastion's. He was sick today and I went over to cheer him up."

"I bet," he giggled, "I bet he's happy now."

"So am I," I said raising my eyebrows comically.

"Me too, but I had to do it myself," he sighed.

"Nothing wrong with that, sometimes that's the best feeling ever."

"I guess, but last night was better," he said looking at me hopefully.

"Look, bro...we can't do that stuff all the time. It was cool and all, but let's not go crazy...okay?"

"Yeah, okay," he said sounding hurt, "I...I gotta go finish my homework...see ya later."

I guess I should have tried to talk to him, but I had too much on my mind to worry about his feeling right then. I went to my bedroom and grabbed some clothes and went in to take a shower. I was just drying off when I heard my mom come in the front door.

I dressed quickly and went in to say hi and she gave me a kiss on the cheek, "How was your day sweetie?"

"Fine, how was yours?"

"Oh, you know, the usual, but I'm home now and that's the highlight of my day."

"You should quit working so hard mom. Doesn't dad make enough money for the whole family?"

"Well, yes, but we'd have to cut out a few things if I didn't work too. Anyway I'd go nuts if I had to stay home all day. No, I like working most of the time and my schedule is flexible enough that I'm home with you boys a lot."

"Ummm.....mom, how did you and dad meet?" I asked suddenly thinking about how Bastion and I first met.

She looked at me with surprise in her eyes, then the look softened, "I know you've heard this before, but your father and I actually met in High School, but it was years later that we actually started dating. I was at a party with some friends of mine and there he was looking so handsome and sexy....ooops, sorry and it was love at first sight."

"Aww..mom that's sweet," I said sincerely, "I hope I find someone like that someday....uh a girl I mean," I said blushing.

She looked at me with love in her eyes, "Well, you're still young and you have lots of time for that. But meanwhile enjoy your youth and your friends and don't worry about love for a while yet."

I was already worrying about it, but I couldn't even tell my own mother that I'd already found the love of my life.

"Thanks mom, need help with dinner?"

"No, dad is bringing home the Colonel," she said sitting me up for our regular joke.

"Oh, is he a friend of dad's?" I giggled.

"He's a friend of the family all right," she chuckled. He's fed us more times than I can count. By the way, where's your brother?"

"Uh, he said he had homework to do. Want me to get him?"

"No, that's fine. I'll peek in on him then I'm going to go change and set the table."

"Okay, I'm gonna go watch some TV." I said heading off to the family room.

I was only in there a minute or two before Danny came in and plopped down beside me, "Whatcha watchin?"

"The Simpsons."

"Oh, cool. Gonna have chicken....again," he informed me.

"I know, I like it."

"Me too, but not everyday."

"It's not everyday," I said rolling my eyes, "it's been a week since we had it."

"Whatever," he sighed. 

"Hey, are you pissed at me or something?"

"No....not really," he said sounding embarrassed.

"Well, you sound like it. I told you we just needed to be cool about this stuff. I didn't say we couldn't do it again....sometime."

"That's not it," he mumbled.

"Well, then what?"

"I can't tell you...not here, maybe later in your room if you want."

I wondered if that was just an excuse for us to be alone, but I decided I would risk it, "Okay, after supper we'll play some Wii and talk."

"Cool," he said jumping up. I gotta go poop see you in a minute."

"TMI," I chuckled, "mention my name and you'll get a good seat."

"Awwww....corny."

"Good...." I said tearing into my third chicken leg, "Thanks Colonel," I giggled.

"Thank the poor chickens you've devoured," dad laughed.

"What's up with you Danny, aren't you hungry?"

My brother had eaten a few bites of potatoes and coleslaw but hadn't touched any of the chicken.

"I'm tired of chicken," he mumbled.

"Well, there's some lunch meat in the fridge," mom offered.

"Thanks but I'm not very hungry," he said grabbing a biscuit, "but I might eat a biscuit....with some honey," he said grinning.

There was plenty of chicken left over and I asked mom if I could take some in my lunch and she said she would pack enough for me and Bastion. I told her he was sick and might not be at school but I'd call him later and make sure. She said surely I could find someone to share with and I told her that was fine.

I headed to my room and Danny headed to the bathroom to take a shower and I called Bastion while I waited for him to get done.

"Hi, feeling any better?"

"Much, thanks to you. I will definitely be there tomorrow."

"Good, mom packed us lunch so we won't have to eat the cafeteria slop," I laughed.

"Be sure to thank her for me. Your mother is very  nice...so is your father."

"Yeah, they're great. Hey, something's up with Danny. He wants to talk. He's taking a shower now so I can't talk too long."

"Well, I hope it's nothing bad. I feel so bad for him since he found out about the adoption, but if anyone can make him feel better it's you."

Yeah, I thought, and I bet he could think of a few ways I could do that.

"Well, here he comes. I'll see ya tomorrow, okay? Goodnight, love ya," I said quickly.

"Goodnight, I love you too."

Danny came in just as I hung up and piled down in the floor in front of the TV. I slid down to join him and grabbed my controller but he still hadn't moved.

"Are we gonna play?"

He frowned and grabbed his controller and muttered, "I wish."

"What?" I said pretending not to hear him.

"Nothing."

"Okay bro, what's up?"

"Well, I sort of broke up with Amanda today."

"What? Why?" I said but I was pretty sure I knew why and I felt awful.

"I don't know, I just feel....I don't know... different, and she's so pushy and clingy."

I laughed, "Well, yeah...that's what girls do."

"I know, but I'm not sure I'm ready to have a girlfriend right now."

I sighed, "It's not because of...well, what we did last night is it?"

"No, no, not that. Well, maybe a little, but mostly because of....you know, the video and stuff."

I nodded, "So, what did she say?"

"She said she hated me and never wanted to talk to me again, then later she stopped me in the hall and begged me to take her back."

"Danny, I think you might have hurt her feelings, but she'll get over it. Can you at least be friends?"

"I guess, if she doesn't try to make it more than that."

"What about Tommy, did you see him today?"

"Yeah," he said perking up, "He definitely wants me to come over next weekend."

"Cool, hey I wonder what mom and dad decided about Friday."

"Don't know, probably that we can go."

"Yeah, I bet you're right. We'll ask her later."

"So....what do we do now," he said looking at me shyly.

I laughed, "Let me guess.....you want to do what we did last night."

"If you do," he said hopefully.

"Hold on, let's go see what the rents are doing."

We jumped up and found mom and dad in the family room watching TV. They weren't making out like they had been the night before but mom was curled up against him and they looked cozy. I knew how nice that felt from doing it with Bastion and I totally understood.

"Hey, we were wondering," I began sitting down next to mom, "what you guys decided about Friday."

"Oh, I called Bastion's mother and she said it was fine with them. They might not be there but she said their housekeeper Maria could chaperon."

"Mom, we don't need a chaperon," I whined, but I knew we'd never be allowed to stay if there wasn't an adult there, especially if we were swimming.

"You know what I mean. I trust you boys, but someone needs to make sure you don't drown or burn the place down," she laughed.

"Okay, cool...thanks," I said hugging mom and kissing her cheek.

"Yeah, thanks mom," Danny said squeezing in to kiss her too.

"Well, we're gonna go watch TV in my room, okay?" I said standing up.

"Okay, boys don't stay up past ten. You need your rest," she said grinning.

"Yesss mommmm," we both said then locked pinkies and giggled.

My heart was beating really fast as we headed back to my room and my dick was already half hard. I guess I knew we shouldn't be doing this stuff, but I was 12 and horny and all I could think about was getting naked and having some fun.

Danny kept looking at me and smiling and when I closed the door behind us and latched it he started taking off his shirt. I watched as his smooth chest came into view and I noticed his little nipples were hard, like little pink erasers. His tummy was flat and his belly button was so cute. It was weird that I was thinking about that, but since Bastion and I had gotten together I noticed things about boys that I'd never noticed before.

He smiled at me and blushed as he skinned off his shorts, but I think he liked my watching him strip. I hadn't made a move to remove my clothes yet but he didn't seem to mind as he pushed his underwear down finally exposing his hard little boy cock and balls. I watched as he scratched down there and he looked at me expectantly.

"Well....aren't you gonna take yours off?"

"Oh, yeah...he he, sorry," I said skinning off my tee and throwing it on the floor. I took off my shorts and underwear together and stood before him in all my naked glory.

His eyes were glued to my cock and I had to laugh, he was obviously impressed by my junk and jealous that I could come, but he had no idea how much I liked him just the way he was.

"What can we do today? Something different?"

I raised my eyebrows, "Like what?" I said as my heart beat faster.

He shrugged, "You know," he said then lowering his voice he said, "butt stuff."

I frowned, swapping beejays was one thing, but anal was something else. It was pretty serious stuff and I wasn't sure either one of us was ready for that.

"I don't know Danny, I'm not sure we should do that stuff. I mean it's pretty serious stuff."

He shrugged, "Me and Tommy did it, it was fun."

"But Tommy is smaller than me....."

He shrugged again, "Well, we could try  it anyway."

"I don't know. How about we do something else, something I just learned about."

"What?" he asked looking excited. 

I guess he liked the idea of doing something unknown and maybe kinky and he was stroking his hard cock as I explained. I saw his face go from curious, to doubtful, then excited as I explained about feet.

"So, we use our feet?"

"Yeah, but first I'll suck your toes and lick your feet...if you like it."

"Okay, sure...it sounds cool. Uh...what do I do?"

"Hop up on the bed, I'll show you," I said trembling with anticipation.

As soon as he was flat on his back I moved up to the end of the bed and grabbed his feet and pulled him down a little so I could get at them. He laughed nervously and shivered as I picked up his right foot and sniffed it.

"Do they stink?" he asked blushing.

"No...they smell nice," I said dreamily. I loved the smell of his feet and couldn't wait to taste them, "This may tickle, but I think you'll like it," I said just before I ran my tongue up his foot from heel to his little pink toes.

"Uhhhh....feels weird, but good," he said shivering a little.

I took that as permission to go further and once I reached his toes with my tongue I ran it between his big toe and the one next to it and washed it clean. He tasted so good and I was so hard it hurt as I moved on to the next two toes and then I began to suck them one by one.

"Oh....gawd....that's so cool," he gasped and I knew he was hooked.

I worked his soft little feet over for a long time as he squirmed and pawed at his hard cock but no way was I going to let him get off on his own.

"Save it Danny," I said spitting out his toes for a second, "I want to show you some more stuff."

"Okay, I will...don't worry," are you gonna suck my toes some more?"

"Yeah, they taste soooo good," I said making a funny face, "good toe jam too."

He giggled and shook his other foot at me and I grabbed it and stuck the whole thing in my moth as far as I could get it.

"Mmmmmgggghhh," I mumbled around his foot and he giggled again.

I slobbered and sucked on his feet till they were slick with my spit and that gave me a wicked idea. Dropping his feet down to the bed I scooted up and placed my dick between his souls as he sat up to see what I was up to.

"Are you gonna fuck my feet?" He giggled.

"Exactly," I said breathlessly, "and then I'll do whatever you want to get you off."

"Okay, this is soooo cool," he said sounding very excited.

I pushed his feet together and held them as I started thrusting my cock in and out between them and pretty soon he got the idea and pushed his feet together and held my cock tight while I continued to slowly fuck them. 

"Ugghhh, that feels so wicked," I grunted.

"Yeah, really cool. Are you gonna come on my feet?"

"Yeah, is that okay?"

"Sure, that's really cool. Very cool."

"I'm really close," I gasped, "Your feet are so soft and warm, almost as good as an ass," I said as I closed my eyes and sped up a little.

"Ugghhh....here....it....comes...." I cried out as my cock began to explode sending a rope of my cum onto his feet and legs. I shot four more times but most of it hit his feet and they were slick with my cum as I finished up and pulled my cock out. 

Bending down I began to suck my cum off my brother's feet as he watched in awe. I licked and sucked until they were clean then kissed each one and set them back down on the bed.

"Okay, your turn. What do you want me to do for you?"

"Let me do your butt," he said looking at me nervously.

"Well, I guess that would be okay. I'm sure I can handle that," I teased as I pointed at his hard little spike.

"Awww....don't make fun of my dick, it's big enough to do that."

"Just teasing, how do you want me big boy?"

"I don't know, what works best?"

I fell down on the bed and raised my legs to expose my boy pucker and he got the idea quickly. He was trembling as he moved up between my legs and I reached up and patted him gently, "Hold on stud, we might need a little lotion to make it easier on me."

He nodded and moved back long enough for me to grab the lotion off the table and I squirted a little onto my hand and applied to his hardon and he shivered and moaned lowly, "Don't come before you get in," I teased.

"I won't, it just feels good."

"This will feel any better," I said guiding him against my hole."

His dick wasn't much bigger around than my thumb but he was long enough to get in far enough to have some fun. He slipped in easily and grunted as his soft boy bag touched my butt. Or maybe it was me who grunted cause it felt pretty good for me too.

What my little bro lacked in experience and skill he made up for in enthusiasm and he really gave my butt a good pounding. I looked up at him and his eyes were closed and he had that goofy look on his face that us guys get just before we come. I reached up and pulled him down to me and kissed him before I could stop myself. At first he seemed surprised then he let go and I felt his little tongue wiggling around in my mouth and I thought I was going to come again just from kissing.

He moaned into my mouth then pulled up and thrust against me hard and grunted, "Ugghhhh....phew.....uhhhh....ohhhhhhh."

I smiled as I watched his face as he came and I felt his cock jerk and suddenly his eyes jerked open and his mouth fell open and he looked at me with surprise, "Cody....I think...I just...made a mess in your butt."

"What?" I asked not understanding. Had he peed in me?"

"I think I came Cody, I think I really came."

He was shaking as he pulled out and I put my legs down and sat up and grabbed his dick and looked it over. Sure enough a trickle of  thin whitish liquid was still oozing out of his piss slit and when I dabbed my finger in it and tasted it there was no doubt as to what it was.

"You did Danny, you came...that's jizz on your dick. It's thin and there isn't a lot, but you did it, you came for real. I am so proud of you." I said pulling him into a hug and kissing him again. He melted into me and kissed back for a minute before pulling away and fingering his cock to get a little on his finger. Then sucking it off he smiled and shook his head playfully and giggled.

"I'm a man," he joked.

"Well, maybe not a man, but a real boy now."

"This is so cool. I can't wait to tell Tommy, he'll be soooo jealous."

"Well, maybe the two of you can work on it and he'll start making jizz too."

"I like him Cody, I really do, but what we did is really fun too."

"Yeah, for me too, but we really shouldn't make it a habit. The more we do it the more chances we have of getting caught and you know what that would mean."

"Death, electrocution, the gas chamber, lethal injection," he said in a silly voice.

"Those things would be more fun than what would happen if our rents knew we were messing around."

"Yeah, I guess. Anyway, I'm tired now. I think I'll go to bed."

"Okay, stud. Give me a hug and a kiss and I'll see you in the morning."

"Goodnight Cody, love ya," he said hugging my neck and giving me a quick peck on the lips.

"Love ya back, you little stud. Sweet wet dreams," I teased.

"Mmmmm.... I hope, you too...and thanks."

"No problem, the pleasure was all mine," I joked.

He hopped down and we both got dressed before he opened the door to go. I went off to use the bathroom and brush my teeth and I noticed mom and dad's door was closed and all the lights were out in the house. I guess we were lucky that our folks trusted us so much and that they went to bed early. I felt a little guilty, but I figured on one got hurt and we both had fun, so what was the big deal? Of course it was still nagging at me that I was keeping this from Bastion, but the more me and Danny did the more I dreaded telling him so I just kept putting it off.

I finished in the bathroom and Danny came in just as I was leaving. He hugged me again and I left him to do his thing and went back to bed. I stretched out and rubbed my dick till I was too sleepy to continue then fell asleep.

The next morning I walked into home room and there sat Bastion grinning like that cat in Alice in Wonderland.

"How you feeling?"

"I feel fine Cody, I think you had just the medicine I needed," he said winking.

"It's magic all right," I said then thought about Danny and how much he enjoyed my magic gift and I felt a little guilty again. 

"Are we still on for Friday?" Bastion asked excitedly.

"Are you kidding, we can't wait. Danny was worried when I told him you were sick, but I told him you'd be better by then."

"Well, I'm fine and I'm looking forward to both of you spending the night."

I wondered if he'd be so happy about it if he knew what Danny and I had been up to, but I didn't have the nerve to find out, not yet.

The morning passed quickly and at lunch we shared the chicken and stuff that mom sent and Bastion seemed to have a good appetite again. I looked around for Trey and Miguel but didn't see either one and I wondered if they had skipped lunch or played hooky.

We were halfway into English Lit when the intercom came on the Principal gave us the news.

"I am sorry to announce that one of our students Trevor Michaels was found unresponsive by this mother this morning and taken to the hospital. It appears that he took an overdose of some narcotic that was prescribed for his mother. They rushed him to the hospital and pumped his stomach, but he is still in a coma and the doctors say it is touch and go at this point.

His parents have requested that in lieu of flowers contributions be sent to......."

I sort of zoned out after that as my face turned ashen and I began to tremble. I wasn't crying yet, but I knew it wouldn't take much to get me going. Fortunately good old Bastion was there to calm me down.

"Its not your fault Cody," he whispered, "I think he already planned this before he spoke to you."

"But...I forgot to call him," I mumbled, "I should have called him?"

"Mr. Grant, Mr. Graham, are you boys all right?" the teacher asked sounding as upset as I felt.

I nodded, "He was a friend of mine, that's all," I said trying to hide my tears.

She gave me a sad smile, "Why don't the two of you go to the boys room and wash your faces? You'll feel better."

I was up and out the door in a heartbeat and Bastion was hot on my heels. We headed toward the nearest boys room and as soon as we were inside I lost it. I broke down like a little kid and bawled my eyes out. Bastion held me and soothed me, but no amount of soothing could take away the guilt and dread I felt at the moment. I felt like what happened to Trey was all my fault and if he died I knew I would carry that guilt with me the rest of my life.

"Shhhh...Cody, it's not your fault. I feel awful about what happened, but it wasn't us who drove  him to do it."

I looked at Bastion and nodded, "No, and I know who it was. I wonder where he is?" I said gritting my teeth. If I could get my hands on him right now......"

"That's not the answer. We just need to hope and pray that Trey recovers and then offer him our friendship and support."

"And keep him away from that asshole Miguel."

"Yes, that too. Are you feeling better?"

I nodded and turned to wash my face in the cool water. I dried off with paper towels and straightened up and allowed Bastion to lead me back to class. A few kids looked at us curiously but most of them looked like they were as sad as I was. I sat down and turned my attention back to the lesson, but no one felt much like studying so the teacher gave up after a while and just let us sit there quietly until the bell rang.

In gym class everyone was talking about Trey and I had to get tough with this one kid who was making fun of the whole thing. He backed down quickly and no one took his side so I guess they all felt like I did. I was glad that Miguel wasn't around because a basketball wasn't the only thing I'd be hitting his face with if I could get my hands on him.

About half way into the hour Coach pulled me aside and took me into his office.

"Sit down Cody," he said softly. Usually he called us guys by our last name and his using my first name sort of touched me.

"What's up Coach. If it's about yesterday..."

"No, not that, well not exactly anyway. I have some news though. Miguel's mother called this morning and informed the school that Miguel would be going to California to live with his uncle for a while and they withdrew him from school."

I nodded, "Thanks, I guess we can forget about yesterday then?" I asked hopefully.

He smiled, "Yeah, you got off lucky, but I don't think he would have pursued this any way. I have a sneaky suspicion he deserved what he got and more, but you can't ever tell anyone I said that."

"No sir, I never would. You've been cool with us kids and I'd never do anything to mess things up for  you."

"And I feel the same Mr. Graham. Now get back out there and burn some calories. It will help take your mind off things for a while."

"Yes sir, and thanks again."

He waved me off and I went back out to join Bastion. We did sit ups and spotted for each other and as I was holding his feet I told him what Coach had told me.

"Well, that's a relief, but it's a shame it couldn't have happened earlier. I might have saved us all a lot of grief....including poor Trey."

"I never knew his name was Trevor," I said suddenly spacing out for a minute. "I just assumed it was Trey. I guess Trey is short for Trevor, huh?" I was rambling and Bastion looked at me with worry in his eyes.

"I suppose, just as my real name is Sebastion," he reminded me.

"Oh, yeah...he he, I forgot."

Coach blew the whistle then and we headed off to the showers and for once I didn't feel like checking the other guys out and I took a quick shower. As we were dressing this kid named William came up and sat down and started putting on his shoes.

"Too bad about Trey, huh?"

"It's awful," Bastion agreed.

"And I heard Miguel got sent to his uncle's in California. Do you suppose that's why Trey did it, cause he best friend was leaving?"

"Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about," I said balling up my fists. I guess after my little outburst yesterday the kid was a little afraid of me and he stood up quickly and hightailed it out of there with one shoe still untied.

"Cody....." Bastion began.

"What, keep my mouth shut? No, I won't. No one is gonna say anything bad about Trey if I'm around."

Bastion nodded and we got dressed in silence. As we walked toward the bus stop I apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you. I know you're on my side."

"It's okay, this is very hard for you and I want you to know I am there for you every step of the way."

"I know, I wish it was Friday already. I'm not sure I can make it tonight without you."

"You'll be fine. You have Danny and your parents and tomorrow we'll be together. My parents have said you can stay both Friday and Saturday night if your parents will allow it."

"They will, I'll whine and beg till they do," I said grinning, "or better still have Danny do it. Right now he has ultimate power over them, but he's too nice to use it."

"What do you mean?"

"Since he found out he was adopted they're desperate to make him happy and I bet  he could ask for the moon and they'd try to get it for him," I chuckled.

"I see, well like you said, he's too nice to use that against them, but I suppose they will be receptive to anything he asks for a while."

"Hey, there's Maria," I said waving as she drove into the pickup lane, "Well, see ya tomorrow. Call me later, okay?"

"I promise. And Cody, please don't blame yourself for this."

"I'll try," I said not sure I could.

"Goodbye, I'll talk to you later."

I waved as he drove away then climbed on the bus. I had a hollow feeling in my stomach as I sat down in the seat Trey and I usually shared and I thought about him all the way to my stop. I climbed off and Danny was waiting for me.

"Hi," I said actually very glad to see his sweet face.

"Hi, I heard about Trey at school and I was worried about you," he said looking at me with sad eyes.

"I'm fine, but it's pretty hard to get that kind of news about someone you know."

I realized I'd only known one person who ever died and that was my great aunt Sally who was like 90. I guess I was just like every other kid and thought that only old people died and that I was invincible. Boy was this ever a wake up call.

I let Danny lead me home and once inside he took control, "I have a snack for us," he said taking my hand and leading me to the kitchen, "and it's not PBJs he giggled."

I watched as he pulled a dishcloth off a plate of Jeno's pizza snacks and noticed they were still hot. I grabbed one and took a bite and he smiled.

We sat down and had SunnyD and between the two of us we finished off the pizza rolls and then had a cookie to top things off nicely. I excused myself to use the bathroom and took a dump....lol, and washed my hands and face and when I came out Danny was in my room stretched out in my bed. I piled down beside him and sighed.

"Why do you think he did it?" he asked softly.

"I sort of know, but I really shouldn't talk about it."

Danny rolled over and looked at me with a hurt look in his eyes, "Don't you trust me?"

"Yes, it's not that. It's just that...oh hell, I guess you have a right to know," I said in defeat and then I told him everything. It was amazing how good it felt to get all that crap out, but I worried that it might be too much for my baby brother to handle.

He surprised me again though. Rolling almost on top of me he hugged me and kissed my face tenderly, "I'm so sorry Cody. I feel so bad for Trey and for you and Bastion. It must've been awful doing that stuff because you had to and not because you wanted to."

I nodded, "The worst part was watching Miguel....you know, rape Bastion."

He looked thoughtful for a minute then his face took on an angry look, "We should get him for this. Do something bad to him."

"Whoa, little bro. He's gone now, he won't hurt anyone again. His mom sent him to live with his uncle, the preacher, in California."

"Good, I hope he never comes back. But poor Trey, he's just gotta get well. Will you be his friend again if he does?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I fell bad enough about what happened and I couldn't stand it if he thought I hated him. I...I wish I had called him last night. Maybe...maybe he wouldn't have done it."

"Maybe, but he probably already was gonna do it anyway."

"That's what Bastion thinks, but I don't know.....I'll never know."

"We can pray for him Cody," he said sweetly as tears filled his soft blue eyes.

I nodded, "Yeah, we can do that. You start."

We prayed our little boy prayers to God and begged him to make Trey better and somehow we felt a lot better by the time we said Amen. I didn't believe that God only loved straight boys and I just knew that he didn't blame Trey for what happened or for what he did and I was counting on him to make things right.

We fell asleep all tangled up and when mom got home and found us she told me later that she just stood and watched us sleeping for a while and she felt so peaceful seeing us there together like that. I wondered if she'd feel so peaceful if she knew just how close.

When I woke up Danny was gone and I went in and peed and went to find him and mom. They were in the kitchen and mom was cooking something and Danny was sitting the table. There were only three places so it looked like dad was working late again.

"Come here sweetie," mom said wrapping me up in hug and suddenly I felt six years old and ready to bawl again, "Danny told me about your friend Trey. I am so sorry. I called the hospital but they wouldn't tell me anything since I wasn't family. I tried calling the school but everyone was gone home for the day and I don't have his parent's number."

"I do", I said remembering the slip of paper Trey had given me. 'Call me if you forgive me', he had said.

"You do? Well sweetie if you'd like I will call and see if I can find out anything."

I nodded and went to my room and dug the slip of paper out of my backpack. When I handed it to my mom she stuck it in her pants pocket and finished cooking supper. I wanted to scream "call now!" but I knew she would do it her way and that was probably the right way.

We ate in silence but none of us was very hungry. Mom said she'd clean up and for us to go take a bath or shower and get dressed for bed. It was too early for bed but I didn't protest.

I took a long hot bubble bath in our bathroom while Danny took a shower in mom and dad's bathroom and we met up in the Family room when we were done. Mom was on the phone as we sat down on either side of her.

"Yes, thank you Mrs. Michaels, you'll be in our prayers. Yes, please if there's anything we can do. My son Cody was a close friend of your son and he feels very bad about what happened. Yes, well I'll tell him...thank you. Again I'm so sorry that we met under such awful circumstances."

She hung up and looked at us and smiled sadly, "He's still in a coma, but the doctors say he could come out of it at any time. They think his brain may have just shut down while his body rids itself of the toxins."

"We prayed, mom," Danny said gently and my mom stroked his blond hair and pulled him in and kissed the top of his head, "and God listens to our prayer, especially those for others."

"Do..do you really think he'll be okay?" I asked feeling a little better, but still sad.

"I think so, with so many people pulling for him and all the prayers he has a very good chance of recovering completely."

I sighed, "I sure hope so. I....feel so bad," I said not offering more.

"I know sweetie," she said kissing my head as she had Danny's, "it's hard for us to understand why things like this happen, but we have to hope for the best and not let it destroy our faith."

"I know." I said stretching out and putting my head in my mom's lap and hanging my feet off the end of the couch. She began to run her fingers through my hair and I began to feel drowsy. 

Then suddenly dad came in from the garage and he took one look at us all cozied up on the couch and laughed, "Well, isn't that just like a woman? I'm a little late and she replaces me with not one, but two men."

Danny giggled and I smiled, it felt good to smile at dad's silliness. Mom managed to untangle us and fixed dad a plate and he brought it in and sat down in the floor and ate off the coffee table like some kid might as mom filled him in on what had happened.

"And you knew this boy Cody?"

"Yes sir, I was sort of his first friend when he moved here." 

I told him about that first day and he nodded, "I remember you telling us about that, but I'd forgotten his name."

"We rode the bus together too."

He nodded, "Well, I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope he recovers and when he does he'll need all the friends he can get."

I nodded, "He can count on me."

He tousled my hair and turned his attention back to his plate and he and mom started talking about some adult stuff and me and Danny headed to my room. As soon as we were inside Danny piled down on my bed and looked at me expectantly. I closed the door but didn't latch it because I didn't plan on anything happening despite what Danny must be thinking.

Fortunately my phone rang then and it was Bastion. I shooed Danny out so we could talk in private and he reluctantly headed out the door, "Come get me when you're done."

I nodded yes and he closed the door and left me alone.

"My mom called Trey's mom and found out he's still in a coma but they think he's gonna come out of it and be okay."

"Thank God. I've been praying for him."

"You too," I chuckled, "so have Danny and I and my mom."

"Prayers do get answered."

"I know, but I hope the answer to this one isn't, no."

"We have to hope for the best and keep praying, that's all we can do."

"I know. Man, I just feel so bad about all this crap. I...maybe I shouldn't have but I...I told Danny all about what happened. I'm sorry, I probably should have asked you about it first. I just needed to get it off my chest."

"How did he take it?"

"Uh, pretty good. He was pretty pissed at Miguel and wanted to go kick his ass," I chuckled.

"Well, I don't mind that you told him. I trust your judgment when it comes to Danny. You know him better than anyone."

And speaking of that, I wanted to say, but I was too chicken and I continued to keep the secret.

We talked for maybe a half hour before Bastion said he had to go and once we said our goodbyes and our I love yous I hung up and just laid there for a minute thinking about things. Life shouldn't be this complicated for a kid my age. I mean I had a boyfriend and I was having sex with my adopted brother. I sighed and now Trey had almost committed suicide and I couldn't help but blame myself. I was glad I had Bastion and Danny and my folks to help me through things, but this keeping secrets was starting to wear on me.

A soft knock at the door jarred me out of my fog and I yelled, "Come in bro."

He poked his head in looking sheepish, "How'd you know it was me?"

"Who else would it be, Publisher's Clearing House?" I chuckled. We had joked about mom and dad winning the big prize someday and all of us going off to live in Hawaii or somewhere, but truth was I was glad we were just normal people and I was happy living right where I was.

"Nope, not even close." He closed the door behind him and the little stink even latched it behind his back as if I wouldn't notice.

He grinned at me and just stood there for a minute looking very cute, "Sooooo....how are you feeling?"

"You mean, am I horny?" I teased.

He blushed then grinned widely, "Yeah, are you?"

I sighed, "Well, a little, but I don't think we should do anything...." I saw the look of disappointment on his face and I added, "like last time, but we could jerk off together. That might be fun."

He brightened a little, I guess anything was better than nothing. He jumped up on the bed and skinned his shorts down and I laughed when I saw he wasn't wearing any underwear.

"Going commando?" I teased.

He blushed, "I thought it would save time," he said grinning.

I pushed my shorts and undies down and my boner popped up and slapped my tummy before settling down just below my belly button. Danny's boner stuck almost straight up and it looked very cute and tempting but I was trying to be strong and resist touching it.

I grabbed the lotion, "Hold your hand out." He stuck his little hand out palm up and I squeezed a little into it and he slapped it against his dick and began to rub up and down it slowly. I quickly lubed my palm and joined him and before long we were stroking almost in unison. I don't know what it is about watching another dude stroke it as you stroke yours but it was hot and after a while I felt my balls churning and I knew I was close.

"Gonna come real soon, you close?" I panted.

"Yeah, can we finish each other?" he asked breathlessly.

Sure why not? I thought as I grabbed his cock and his hand flew to mine. It felt different than my own, more  slender and not as long, but it was nice and it only took me a few strokes to get in his rhythm and he was doing a great job with mine too. It was like our minds and bodies were in tune and it was hard to believe we weren't really blood related at that moment. But I was glad we weren't or otherwise I'd have felt guiltier than I already did.

We came almost together and this time Danny's little cock shot a nice little load up and onto his cute tummy. I milked him dry and there was quite a bit on my hand which I licked off once I was sure he was finished. At the same time my nuts were unloading four or five shots straight up and they splashed down on Danny's hand and got mixed into my pubes and ran down onto my balls. 

It was a good one and I grunted my approval and he seemed pleased at the effect he had on me.  Then mimicking my actions he licked  his small hand clean then surprised the heck out of me by bending down and licking most of the rest off of my cock and pubes. He looked like a cat grooming itself as he licked my pubes and he was grinning widely when he finished and sat up beside me.

"Did you like it?"

"What do you think?" I asked as I came back down to earth, "that was amazing. Where'd you learn that?"

"I just thought of it. I liked how it tasted so I wanted more."

I looked over at his dick and it was still half hard and there was a little bit of his thin milky cum clinging to the head. Without warning I flipped around and began to lick it clean and his cock went hard again instantly. I loved  how he tasted and I was out of control despite myself. I swallowed his hard cock and he began to moan lowly as I sucked him to another glorious orgasm.

"Oh...oh....oh...Cody....oh....oh," he panted then he rewarded me with a small but delicious helping of his newly acquired boy juice.

 I lapped it all up and licked him clean then pulled him down and kissed him forcing my tongue into his mouth so he cold taste his own flavor.

"Mmmmmm...good," he said grinning.

"Excellent," I agreed, "but now I think it's time for you to head to your bed and for us to get some sleep."

"Okay, but...I wish I could sleep in here with you."

"What would the rents think?" I reminded him, "besides we need our alone time too."

He nodded and found his short and pulled them back on and hopped down while I did the same. 

"Well, goodnight....love ya. And thanks," he said hugging me and giving me a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Love ya too little bro, and thank you."

He bounced out the door and a few minutes later I was settled in and starting to feel drowsy when my mom knocked on the door and I told her to come in. She sat down on the bed beside me and that's when she told me about coming home and seeing me and Danny asleep and snuggled up. At first I thought we were in trouble then I saw the tears in her eyes as she explained how sweet it was to see us like that.

"He was comforting you, wasn't he? I mean after he found out about your friend Trey."

I nodded, "He helps me get through things a lot these days and I hope I help him too."

"I'm sure you do. He idolizes you sweetie. He would do anything you asked of him, just be careful and don't use the power you have over him to hurt him."

Now I really did feel guilty. Was that what I was doing every time I had sex with him? I was more confused than ever.

"I'll try mom, I really will. I would never hurt him on purpose, not ever again."

She smiled and kissed my cheek, "I know... you're a good boy and I trust you. And I'm glad you have your brother and Bastion to help you with the things a parent can't."

"Awww...mom, it's not that I don't need you too...."

"I know sweetie, but some things a boy can only share with another boy. I know you are growing up so fast, both of you, and there will be lots of changes ahead."

"If this is the talk mom, me and dad already had it," I giggled.

"And he says you knew more than he did," she teased, "I think he learned a few things that day himself."

"Well, you guys didn't have the internet and TV," I said seriously.

"Oh my, you boys of the internet. Well just be careful. Goodnight dear and try not to worry about your little friend."

"Mom?"

"Yes, sweetie."

"Can...can we pray for Trey right now?"

She wiped a tear from her eye then nodded, "I think God would like that."

We prayed for a long time that night and when my mom finally left me I went to sleep right away. I slept better than I had a right too, but after that prayer I felt like I'd been washed clean.  I still didn't know what God had planned for Trey, but I was ready for whatever he decided.

End of Chapter Thirteen

More to come....soon
