Chapter 5.	Our new house guest.



"Tommy is that you?"

"Yeah it's me." I yelled back.

"Who is that with you?"

As we got closer they recognized who it was.

"Tommy isn't that Shawn from around the corner?"

As I got to the porch I looked stupidly at Jon.

"Yeah it's him. Watch out we are coming in."

All four of them backed away from the door as I entered with Shawn. For the
first time I saw him in good light. He was battered and bruised and there
was some blood on his clothes. Those two bastards really abused him.

"What happened Tommy, we heard gun shots and..."

 "And you did nothing..." I said in disgust as I cut Joey off in mid
sentence.

"I am going to take care of Shawn first then we will talk, you pussys!"

I didn't know if I was mad at them or at being beat on or at the fact that
Shawn looked so bad. I walked Shawn into the bathroom and shut the door
behind for some privacy knowing they would be right in behind us if I
didn't. I looked at what once was a very cute boy now in tattered bloodied
clothes and almost started crying right there. I fought back the tears
knowing he needed me and I would have to deal with this right now.

"All right pal I am gonna get you out of these dirty clothes now okay?"

He nodded okay. First I took off his ripped shirt and threw it on the
floor. He was black and blue and dirty. I couldn't tell what was dirt and
what was bruise. His once awesome blonde hair was matted and dirty. I
wasn't sure how he would react but I reached for the button on his pants,
not that there was much of them left and loosened it. As I pulled down his
zipper I looked into his red bloodshot eyes so I could tell if he was okay
with this.

"Okay if I keep going?"

He nodded yes and I lowered his beat up jeans and pulled each leg out for
him. What once was a gorgeous boy was now a battered dirty mess standing in
front of me in dirty, bloody, ripped underwear.

"I am going to take these off of you if it's okay Shawn and let you take a
shower if you want okay?"

Again without saying anything he just nodded yes to me. Slowly I lowered
his underwear exposing his nakedness to me as I let them fall to the floor.

"Shawn did they rape you?"

He nodded yes.

"I am going to take a look if it's okay?"

"Don't care Tommy."

I turned him around and I didn't have to look too hard to know this boy was
raped. The dried blood on his legs and butt told me and I wasn't a
doctor. I didn't go any further. I got up and started the shower for him.

"Okay pal I am going to leave you to shower and when you're done yell for
me okay?

"No Tommy, please don't leave me! STAY with me I don't want to be alone,
Pleaseeeeeeeee!"

"Okay, okay calm down I won't go anywhere."

He stepped into the shower and wet himself as I waited outside the shower
for him.

"Tommy?"

"Yes Shawn?"

"Would you please wash my back?"

Hesitating for probably the first time in days when it came to touching
another boys body I though for a second and agreed to help him wash. I took
off my shirt and grabbed the soap and started gently going over his back
with the bar of soap being careful not to try and wash a bruise. I soaped
up his back and then I thought about doing his butt but I decided he had
enough pain down there and I stopped and handed him the soap back.

"You wash your butt Shawn; I don't want to hurt you there after what you
have been though so you're better off washing your own butt for now."

He looked at me.

"Its okay Tommy I know you won't hurt me on purpose. Please wash me there."

Being as gentle as I ever was in my life I began rubbing the soap on the
cheeks of his ass, and then I did the top and then the bottom.

"Okay Shawn now I need to get to your butt hole but I would rather you do
it."

"Please do it Tommy."

"Okay bend over for me a little."

I carefully spread his cheeks and checked for damage to his hole before I
washed. I was sure they weren't careful with the boy and again for the
first time in my life I really didn't want to touch another boy's ass. I
looked closely and saw the damage to his hole and knew he would have some
kind of scaring there from their vicious attack on him. I soaped my hand
and softly washed around the area being careful not to get too close to his
hole.

"It burns Tommy, please stop it!"

"I'm sorry but I have to clean it out some Shawn, it's pretty dirty and I
know it hurts but I have to get in there a little. If you want I will stop
and you can do it."

"Just please go slow Tommy. It hurts so much."

"I know sweetie I am sorry I will be careful."

Again he yelled in pain as I washed close to his ass hole knowing I wasn't
trying but the soap was probably doing most of the damage on him.

"That's as good as I can get for now pal. Sorry but you will have to finish
cleaning after you heal some Shawn. If I go any harder or closer your going
to be in a lot of pain so I am going to stop."

"Okay."

"Look Shawn I am going to leave you for a minute."

"Noooooo!"

"No listen, I just want to get you something to wear, I'll be right back
okay?"

"Alright but please hurry."

"I will be right back."

I opened the door to head out and all of then were there probably listening
to every word we said. Billy spoke up first.

"Enjoying your new boy toy Tommy? How is his cute ass?"

I looked at him and the others. Then back at him. I went right up in his
face.

"You're a real fucking ass hole Billy, that poor boy was anally raped by
those two fiends and you think I am enjoying watching him suffer you
fucking idiot!"

I shoved him hard onto the chair behind him and stomped off to get some
clothes for Shawn. I came back shortly with underwear that was my younger
brothers and some pajamas. I gave Billy a dirty look and went straight into
the bathroom.

"Okay Shawn I am back. Ready to dry off?"

"Yes Tommy."

He turned off the water and slid back the shower curtain. I draped a towel
around his frail body and took another and dried off his wet head. Without
thinking about it and purely reacting to how bad I felt for him I pulled
him close to me and gave him a hug. He returned it and kissed me on the
cheek.

"Thank you for saving me Tommy. I love you."

I smiled at him not knowing what to say and helped him dry off and then
into the underwear and PJ's I had for him. When he was done I opened the
door and walked him past the others and up stairs to my room where I put
him into my bed and tucked him in.

"I am going down with the others Shawn; if you need me I will be right down
stairs and up to go to bed shortly myself. You are safe now so down worry
okay?"

"Okay Tommy I'll try not to. Thanks for everything. You're the best."

I got up and leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek and turned on the
small light next to my bed and left the door open a crack. Then headed back
down to deal with Billy and tell them what happened.

"You are such an ass hole Billy! I mean really you think I enjoyed cleaning
that RAPED boy's body??"

He turned pale when I said that not knowing that he was that hurt.

"I...I didn't know Tommy."

"Yeah I know Billy but you didn't have to be such a jerk off!"

He just bowed his head, said nothing as I sat and told the others about
what happened to us out there while they stayed safely in the house as I
went out to see what I wasn't sure about in the darkness of the night.

"So there are two dead bodies out there Tommy?"

"Yeah Jon over by Milligan's place about four blocks away where we ended
this thing. Tomorrow in daylight we will go see what we have and if we
recognize them. But for tonight I am going up to tend to that poor boy up
there and go to bed myself. Talk to you guys in the morning. Good night."

They all said good night to me and without looking at Billy I headed
upstairs.

"Jon please make sure the door is locked."

"Sure Tommy, no problem."

I turned and went up and into my room. I was quiet but he still turned to
look the second I entered the room.

"Can't sleep?"

 "No my butt hurts a lot and I am still scared."

"Well I can't do anything about your butt now but if you want in the
morning I will take a closer look and tell you what I see."

"Yeah that sounds okay."

I got into bed next to him and without hesitation he snuggled up close to
me and I turned out the light and tried to fall asleep with a sweet
smelling cutie right next to me. I had a feeling it was going to be a long
night. I looked at my alarm clock as I settled into bed and it was just
after 10pm. With the small night light still on I turned to look at
Shawn. He laid still his eyes closed and the fear finally out of his face
for probably the first time in several days if I guess right. I just sat
up, elbow propping me up as I stared at the pretty boy in front of me. I
noticed him around the neighborhood quite a bit over the years and as he
grew up his looks increased from good to excellent particularly over the
last two years or so. I lost a lot of friends in this disaster not all were
as good looking and some were just friends that I cared about regardless of
how they looked. I will never see them again and I hope some day to go to
their houses and get a picture of them and keep it with me for the rest of
my life. I never expected to be living my life this way and pretty much
taking care of now five boys and myself. I went from juvenile delinquent to
whatever this is in an instant and to tell you the truth I would rather
have the old way back. But I don't get that choice so I will go on from
here with my friends and lover if there is such a person in my future with
that title. For now I am going to try to nurse this sweet boy laying next
to me back to health. I came back from my deep thought to see Shawn now
staring at me.

"What's up cutie?"

Listen to me, bold as ever now even calling them as I see them right to
their face. He smiled at me.

"You really think I am cute Tommy?"

"Shawn you are the cutest nine year old I know. I have known that for a
while as I watched you grow up especially over the last two years. You have
gone from good looking to a real cutie."

His smile widened with my words.

"If there are any girls around I am sure you would have your pick of them
my friend you're a real heart throb!"

"Thanks Tommy, your not so bad yourself."

He sat up and looked at me.

"Can I tell you something?"

"Sure, anything you want."

"I am tired but I can't sleep. I have so many bad thoughts in my head. My
mom and dad are gone. I still don't know where they went or anyone else. I
just know that that weird thing happened and I went to hide in my dads sub
basement and then when it got quiet I came up and went outside looking. I
saw those two guys and no one else when I went out looking for my mom. She
was home before that happened but I didn't know where my dad was at all. I
went over to them and asked them if they saw anyone and then the next thing
I knew they were carrying me back into my house and the one guy asked his
friend to go find some rope and tie me up. Then it got really bad."

As he told me his story he was holding it pretty well together at first but
now his eyes were welling up with tears and his voice quivered.

"Then they told me they were going to keep me here and no one would ever
come to get me. They told me I was their little boy now and that they were
going to enjoy having sex with me whether I liked it or not. They stripped
me Tommy, started doing bad things to me that I can't even talk about to
you. Then one held me and they took turns and took their dicks and hurt me
bad with them."

The tears were flowing now. I felt so bad listening to his story. I was
angry. I never wished anyone dead before but I was so glad I killed them
now. I just wished I could have made them suffer like they made Shawn
suffer before I killed them. All I knew was that if I didn't have the gun I
could have been their next victim and I am so glad that I at least got some
payback for Shawn. I slid closer to him and held him. After a while he
stopped crying and put his head in my lap. I started stroking his beautiful
blonde hair and he closed his eyes. Shortly after that he seemed to be
asleep. I waited a few more minutes and then moved him to a pillow. I got
up to wash my own tear stained face and when I opened my door all of them
were standing there and not a dry eye was to be found. I looked at Billy
and without saying a word he just came over and hugged me.

"I'm sorry I treated you like that before Tommy. I was so wrong to act like
that. I feel like a total jerk and I hope you can forgive me."

I pulled him away and tried to smile but it just wasn't there. It wasn't
his fault there just wasn't anything that could make me smile right now
unless it was my mom or dad about to give me a hug. I cleared my throat and
tried to find the words for all of them.

"I understand Billy. All you guys heard that I suppose so I don't have to
repeat it to all of you thankfully. Shawn is a sweet kid and he is going to
need all our support now and hopefully he will get through this. In the
morning I am going to check him as best as I can to see how badly he is
hurt and then go over to the drug store and get something for him just
incase he gets sick."

"We want to go too." Said Jon

"Yeah Tommy we want to help you too please." Danny commented.

"Okay guys. I know your all hurting right now after that. Hell I did all I
could not to break down and ball right in front of him while he was telling
me that story. I don't care who comes with me but someone needs to be with
him tomorrow. We can't leave him alone. Not yet. He is too messed up and
needs friends around right now."

"Okay Tommy, I will stay with him." said Jon.

"Know what, its late, we are all upset and I know I am tired. Let's talk
about it tomorrow. Billy, I do forgive you. Just remember that even though
I might be a bad ass when it comes to sex, it's not all I think about. I
have feelings too."

Without waiting for a response I walked away and headed to the bathroom
trying to making my point a little more powerful. I washed up and came out
and the hallway was clear so I headed back to my room and before I could go
in Billy came out of his room and over to me. I tried to ignore him but he
pleaded with me.

"Please wait Tommy."

I stopped my back still to him.

"Tommy I want to talk to you."

"It's late Billy and I told you I forgive you isn't that enough for
tonight?"

"Normally I would say yes and leave it be but you and the others are all I
have now. You are my family now. Good or bad I have to accept that. I have
thought about it and as much as I hate it that my parents are gone you are
the oldest and well..."

I turned to face him and interrupted him mid-sentence.

"Please don't tell me you respect me and all that shit Billy."

I said that a lot louder then I wanted to. I heard stirring in the rooms.

"Tommy please... this is private can we go downstairs to finish this."

I saw the pleading his eyes were giving and I nodded. We both headed down
to the couch and I sat opposite of him and as tired and upset as I was gave
him my full attention.

"Okay this isn't easy but here goes. My mom never liked you and told me to
stay away from you because you were trouble. I tried to listen to her but I
am best friends with Joey and he likes you and would probably do anything
you asked of him."

He got my attention with that and I perked up.

"So Joey wanted to hang with you, I agreed even against my mom's
wishes. Joey always talked about you good or bad there was something
there. I don't mean sexually I mean respect wise. So since I like him so
much I agreed to whatever he wanted. That's the only reason I am probably
alive. He wanted to go into the tunnel and I didn't but he won and I
went. I guess I am thankful in a way because we are still alive. Only time
will tell because none of us know what the future has left for us. Anyway,
all I mean to tell you is seeing you act so in control with the sex the
first night we were alone I got really mad at you and all I thought you
wanted from us was to fuck us. I didn't tell Joey because of his feelings
and all the crap that happened that day. Shit. I was scared and you were
all I had to protect me so I really didn't care at that time what happened
as long as I was with someone and felt a little safe. I guess today when
you brought Shawn home looking that way and took him right into the
bathroom and locked the door I lost it. I was so pissed off at you I saw
red. I figured you were just looking for another easy fuck. I am sorry I
didn't know the whole story."

He sniffed. I couldn't tell if it was tears or just a sniff but I didn't
care I was totally into what he was saying and I really didn't know the kid
so I was really intrigued by his sudden openness.

"I feel terrible about how I acted before. You went out and saved that kid
and risked your life for him and I have to tell you I respect that more
then anything. Even if you had no clue what you were doing. Not saying you
did or didn't. Just that any doubts I had about you are gone now. I am not
a big fan of your sex parties if you want to call them that but man your
all I have and after tonight I will try not to ever diss you again."

He grew quiet. Either he was getting emotional or he was done with his
speech. I thought about what he said and my mind was fried. Between almost
getting killed tonight by those two fucks and all the shit over the past
four days I am totally confused. Not to mention having to watch over five
guys now. I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS!!! MOMMMM!!!!!  I screamed in
my head. Billy began to talk again bringing me back to earth and out of my
self pity.

"Tommy? TOMMY!"

"Sorry Billy I am beat."

"Yeah man I know I won't keep you much longer."

"It's okay Bill."

"I guess what I am saying is hard to put into words but I want you to know
that as long as you're in charge I promise I will be with you."

 "That's nice Billy but I am not in charge here. This is my house that's
all. You're free as are the others to go any time. I am not keeping anyone
here and God knows I am not in charge here."

"You're wrong Tommy. Like it or not you are in charge here. After tonight
you have my respect and I am sure the others too. So I am sorry but like it
or not you're the adult here."

SHIT! Just what I didn't want! More responsibility! I got up and so did
Billy he came over to me and out of no where gave me a big hug. I stood
there sorta embarrassed and eventually put my arms around him. With his
head buried in my chest he whispered to me.

"Thanks for keeping me safe and protecting all of us."

He broke the embrace and turned to go upstairs leaving me totally
dumbfounded. I sat and thought for a while before I got up turned off the
light and went back up to my room. I was over tired now and carefully I got
back into bed trying not to wake Shawn. I reached over to turn off the
light and Shawn quietly said to please leave it on.

"Sure pal, no problem."

I put my head on the pillow and closed my eyes. Shawn scooted over to me
and put his head on my chest. I put my arm around him and nodded off to
sleep. Finally ending a day from hell in so many ways.



Chapter 6.  Day 5 after the comet.



Out of habit or just because I had a lot on my mind the first light woke
me. I was used to getting up early and going to school but it was summer
and there was no more school anyway so I was supposed to sleep in but I was
a creature of habit and as tired as I was last night I was now awake. I
must have slept well because apparently I didn't move a muscle all
night. Shawn was still sleeping on my chest in almost the same spot as he
was when I passed out. I moved my stiff body not wanting to wake him but I
was cramping up and I didn't have a choice. I tried putting him on his
pillow but he stirred and opened his eyes as I moved my body from its
resting spot. He looked at me and smiled wide.

"Morning Tom."

"Hey champ, how did you sleep?"

"Best sleep I had in days. It felt good being in bed and not tied to a
chair for a change."

"You mean those bastards tied you to a chair every night before they went
to bed?"

"Yeah, every night."

His smile was gone and a serious face was back on the cutie.

"Look Shawn I know you want to talk about it but its okay, you don't have
to tell me everything and talk about it all the time. It's okay with me if
you forget about it or not talk about it for a while."

"I wish I could but you weren't there Tommy, you didn't have to worry about
getting hurt by them over and over. Doing that to my butt. I screamed and
begged them to stop but they just shoved a rag or their dick in my mouth to
shut me up. I'm sorry you have to hear this but I have to tell someone I
can't keep it inside I am not like that."

He started to cry. I held him and whispered he was okay and it was okay to
talk about it all he wanted to. Its going to be rough getting him through
this I can see that now. He will definitely try my patients over this as
time goes on. I looked at my clock and it was barely 6am. I didn't want to
wake the whole house and I knew I had to go to the area I shot those guys
at and see who they were so it wasn't going to be an easy day. Plus get
some stuff for Shawn's injuries if I just knew what I need. He was calm
again so I let go of him and he sat up and I lay back on my pillow and just
looked at him without saying a word. After a few quiet minutes of me
staring he spoke.

"What?"

"What?"

He almost broke a smile when I mimicked him. But not yet. Soon I think just
not yet he is still sore and hurt.

"I was just looking at a really cute kid and wondering what he was thinking
and if he was going to be okay. Know if there are any answers to that?"

"Um, not really. I don't know who this cute kid is but..."

"You silly. You really don't think you're cute do you?"

"I never gave it much thought before you started telling me last night. So
it's sorta embarrassing when you say it to me right now."

"Well I am sorry I didn't mean to embarrass you."

"Its okay you're allowed to. Besides my mom and dad you're the only other
person in the whole world to see me naked and my even my mom doesn't wash
my butt anymore. Besides you saved my life so I really don't care what you
say or do you are my hero."

Now I was embarrassed.

"So I am the only one to check your butt huh? I chuckled a little. Not even
your doctor?"

"Well silly I mean other then him and he only did that when I was sick and
he took my temperature when I was a baby."

"You remembered that?"

"Yeah, because I was scared when he told me he was going to stick that
thermonter thingy up my butt."

"It's called a thermometer, not a thermonter." I laughed.

"Yeah well whatever it's called I didn't want it put there."

"How old were you then? You remember?"

"Nah not really maybe four or five I guess. No big deal like I said it
doesn't matter anymore since you saw me last night and took care of me in
the shower and all. Nothing you do bothers me you are my hero and protector
and you can do anything you want to me."

"Whooooah. Wait a minute there Shawn. What makes you say I can do anything
to you? Why would you even talk that way?"

"Well I heard a lot of what went on last night and I am not stupid Tommy
after all I am nine. I heard the talk about stuff and I figured something
must be going on here besides just five kids living under one roof."

"You are pretty smart for a nine year old. Way too smart if you ask
me. How, where geeze I don't even know how to ask the question after
that. What do you think is going on here?"

"SEX?"

If I had false teeth I swear they would have flown out of my mouth with
that comment. It was all I could think of... for some reason...

"Sex? Not hardly, but I suppose more then should be by any boys our age."

"So there is stuff going on here?"

"How did you get so smart Shawn?"

"No avoiding the question Tommy."

"Okay I suppose there is sex, a good amount of it happening but no one is
being forced to do anything, not like you were."

"I didn't mean it that way Tommy I was just curious."

"About sex? At your age?"

"Hey, I told you I am nine. I know a lot."

"Oh forgive me!"

 I was being sarcastic but he wasn't so I had to find a way to deal with
THIS now too? Just what I need... A nine year old interested in boy sex.

"We talk about it a lot at school."

"You do? In class?"

"No silly on the playground. The guys talk about it and sometimes we chased
the girls and lift up their dresses if they had one on and some of the boys
talk a lot about penis and stuff so its not private, I just know what to
say and when its okay to say it."

"Obviously."

I was startled and shocked.

"But anyway Tommy what goes on in here?"

"Let's take that one slowly okay Shawn. Give me a chance to figure out how
to explain it myself then I will fill you in, okay?"

"Fair enough, but I want to be involved if you are okay with it?"

Again this nine year old is blowing my mind over here!!

 "We'll see when the time comes... deal?"

He reached out his hand to me... "Deal."

What did I just get into? I just woke up and I already feel drained by a
nine year old. Give me strength!! I tried to change the subject a little.

"So how are you feeling today?"

"You mean my butt?"

"Yes. Does it still hurt?"

"Yes like it did when they stuck their penises up there. It burns really
bad."

"Well I guess I should take a closer look then, what do you think?"

He actually smiled. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was evil but this
kid seems to be turned on by this on some level. Don't get me wrong he is
really hurting but he isn't shy about it that's for damn sure. He got up
slowly and lowered his pajama bottoms and then without hesitating dropped
his underwear to the floor.

"You want me to come to you or you want to come over here?"

Well I swear last night meant nothing sexual to me but this kid stirred up
my juice. My cock was actually getting hard and I didn't feel anything
sexual towards him just sympathy for all he has been through.

"I'll come over there."

I got up and stood. He leaned over the bed and his ass stood straight up as
he stretched out in front of me.

"Okay Tommy take a look and tell me how bad it is."

I softly and slowly pulled apart his butt cheeks and exposed his red butt
hole. I got in closer and could see the swelling and after spreading him a
little farther which caused him to jump and yell a little I could see the
damage better. It looked like some type of tear to his hole but I wasn't a
doctor and wasn't sure. I took my finger and felt the area causing him to
jump but he didn't yell out in pain this time. I snuck a peak under his
legs and past his ball sac and he actually had a little hard on. Every time
I thought I saw it all...

"This doesn't look or feel too good Shawn. You're going to need some kind
of ointment on there."

I let go of his butt cheeks and he went to get up.

"Well just so you know that felt weird but I liked it."

He turned to me and had a little stiffie.

"I see that. Even with all you have gone through Shawn that gave you a hard
on?"

"Yes, at first it hurt when you started looking but when you touched it I
got turned on and well you see how much."

"More then I ever thought I would."

His little dick was rock hard and standing straight out almost winking at
me. All two or three inches of it anyway...

"So you like it?"

"Huh?"

"My dick silly?"

"Honestly Shawn I don't really think this is right. You just got raped and
now you have a hard on in front of me. Please pull up your underwear."

He moved closer to me.

"But I trust you Tommy and I care a lot about you too. Please touch it."

"I don't think that would be right Shawn. I feel like I am taking advantage
of you if I do."

"No, if you did and I didn't want you to then you would be taking advantage
but I am asking you to. Please???"

Reluctantly but curiously I reached out to his hard cocklet. I took a
finger and placed it softly on the head of his circumcised cocklet. His
cock jumped and then he let out a little gasp.

"That feels so good Tommy."

I took hold of it and gave it a little rub. His eyes shut and he moved
closer and I actually think he shuttered with my touch.

"Oh yeah, now I know what Jimmy meant when he said that when someone else
touches it you get an electric shock feeling up your back."

I stroked at a few times and then stopped. His eyes opened and he looked
disappointed.

"Why did you stop?"

"Because it's wrong Shawn. I shouldn't be doing this to you after what you
just went through. You are way too vulnerable right now after your attack
and I feel like I am taking totally advantage of you."

"If I thought that I wouldn't let you do it so please touch it again the
feeling was awesome."

"All right but just one more time."

I reached out and took hold once again of his hard cocklet and began
stroking it again. I tried to hide my own hard cock now. All this play made
me rock hard. I just hope he doesn't want to explore me.

"Oh Tommy that feels so good please don't stop."

Just then my bedroom door opened and Billy walked in. I let go of his cock
and tried my best to act nonchalant about it.

"Billy!! Don't you knock? Its 6am!"

"Well from what I see I guess I should have knocked. And here I believed
you after you ripped into me last night. You're just a fucking sex whore
Tommy. You're full of shit! All you want is cock and I knew you would take
advantage of this poor kid!"

He turned and stomped out of the room. I felt like shit after what we
discussed last night. He was right I am just a sex whore and a whole lot
more. Shawn looked at me and then turned red with embarrassment.

"I am so sorry Tommy I didn't mean to cause trouble."

He quickly pulled up his underwear.

"Please let me talk to him and straighten this out."

"I don't think that's a good idea right now Shawn. He is very upset and
probably doesn't want to hear anything from either of us."

"But it was all innocent, he needs to know that."

"Give it time. Maybe later you can talk to him but right now isn't good. I
would love to know what the hell he wanted from me at this hour
anyway... barely 6:30 and usually everyone is asleep. I am the first one up
every morning but today and now of all times for him to fucking walk in on
me, on us..."

"I am really sorry Tommy I didn't mean to provoke you."

"Well Shawn I guess he is right, all I want is cock."

"No, no... I did this to us not you. He will see that when I tell him."

"Good luck!"

"Huh?"

"All I am saying is that he is very upset and I don't think even you
talking to him will matter right now."

"But I have to try and make him understand Tommy. It wasn't you it was
me. I did it to you; you didn't do it to me."

"I know cutie. We know but he doesn't. All he knows is what he saw and
well... he saw me stroking your cock and that is all there is to it. Give
it time. Talk to him later. If you go now he will think I sent you in to
cover for me anyway."

"Okay. I really am sorry Tommy."

"I know kiddo, I know. Don't worry about it. It's not like he can call the
cops or something. There aren't any."

I finally got a laugh out of him. In such a weird way and time. I felt
better over this but I felt really good that I finally heard him laugh. It
was such sweet music to my ears. I got up and hugged him and he returned
the hug and then gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you Tommy I didn't think I could laugh anymore but I knew if anyone
could help me it would be you."

I smiled at him.

"You hungry?"

"Yeah, starving, I haven't had anything good to eat since that day."

"Well let me get dressed and we can go down and eat. The refrigerator is
full of food and stuff so you can pig out."

I threw on some shorts and he went down in his PJ's. I had cereal and so
did he. We finished up the milk and I was sad to think that we might not
find anymore and if we did how much longer would we be able to drink
it. Damn I hate this so much!! DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!!!

 "What's wrong Tommy?? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just upset its okay."

"At what?"

"Just thinking about milk. How soon we might not ever have anymore. It's
sad but true, there aren't anymore cows and what's left of the milk in the
stores will probably last a week or two at most. Milk goes bad quickly and
when it's gone that's it. Unless we find a live cow somewhere."

 "Wow that sucks. I didn't even think about that or what else will be gone
for ever. Now I am sad again."

"I'm sorry Shawn but it's the truth and we need to face it. Things are
going to go away for ever unless we get lucky and find a way to keep
them. Either fresh or frozen. I mean we can grow some stuff like vegetables
and fruits but some things like milk and butter might be gone for ever
soon."

I guess I hit a sour note he started to cry. How sensitive he is.

"Oh sweetie don't cry its just milk." How ironic---- crying over spilled
milk came to mind, not on purpose but it did.

"But like you said we are going to lose stuff like that it's so sad."

"I know but we really can't do a thing about it this is the part that
sucks. We live on what we have and that is all we can do."

"Yeah, I guess so. But it's just wrong!!"

"Yeah it sure is."

I heard stirring upstairs and I wasn't sure if it was Billy or the others
waking up. Well soon they will be down whoever it is.

"Who's up?"

"Beats me. I am here with you we will have to wait and see."

I heard the toilet flush and then down came Jon.

"Morning sweetie,"

"Morning Tommy, Shawn.  How long have you been up?"

"Almost an hour now, you're up early too."

"Yeah I couldn't sleep too well. Last night what happened to you and Shawn
really got to me. I couldn't stop thinking about it all night how you could
have gotten killed and we did nothing to help you. I really feel bad. I am
sorry."

"It's okay Jon. I am safe and so he Shawn. Just be happy it's over and we
are okay and remember it could happen again if we aren't careful."

Shawn chimed in.

"HAPPEN AGAIN? NOOOO!!!"

"Relax Shawn, I mean that there are bound to be others alive out there like
you and not everyone will be nice. I am sure a lot of people will be out to
cause trouble with no law and so on. But that is only my guess so relax. We
are pretty safe here and I have protection you know that."

"Yeah I guess but still its scary now isn't it?"

"Yes it is Shawn. Jon said. We have to be very careful now and watch our
back all the time. Not right here but outside for sure."

Just then a voice came from the steps.

"No Jon we have to watch our backs in here too with Tommy the boy toucher."

"What is he talking about Tommy? Boy toucher?"

"It's rather complicated and hard to explain Jon."

"No it isn't Jon. I caught him stroking off Shawn this morning and he is
playing it like its nothing."

Jon looked at me. I left like shit. Shawn who had been quiet through all
this finally spoke up.

"HEY! He quieted the room. Listen. Tommy didn't do anything wrong,
honest. He was checking me to see how hurt I was and he turned me on. I got
hard and asked him to do that to me. He didn't want to but I kept asking
till he finally said okay. Then Billy walked in without knocking on us and
saw it and got all stupid and stormed out without any explanation. That's
the truth!"

"Oh sure Jon, how long did it take you to convince Shawn that story would
work?"

I had enough.

"Okay Billy! I got up. I have had enough of you get the fuck out of my
house right now! Go live by yourself in your house of you think we are all
liars. Fuck you! Get out!!"

He turned and headed to the door, opened it and stormed out slamming it
behind him.

"I have had enough of him! Jon you believe Shawn don't you?"

"Yes I do. I don't understand Billy and I don't think what you did was
totally right but Billy has been looking for a reason to go off and I was
getting tired of him too."

"What I did was wrong? He just got done telling you that he asked for it
Jon. Isn't that good enough?"

"I suppose so."

"No wait. Suppose isn't good enough for me. Something is still bothering
you."

"Well yeah. The fact that we are supposed to be together and you're playing
with his cock in your room. That is something. But I don't want to make a
big deal of it like Billy did."

By now Joey and Danny were up and downstairs listening to all this and
apparently confused as could be.

"What's going on and where is Billy?"

"I threw him out Joey I had enough of his shit and sent him home. That was
the slam that probably woke you two up."

"Well not really. The noise did that before the door slammed but right now
I am curious to know what happened to whom and who got jerked off and
when??"

I told then to sit and explained the whole thing to both of them. Danny
didn't seem to be bothered one bit but Joey seemed confused and upset that
I threw Billy out of the house.

"I am sorry Joe but I had enough of his crap between last night and this
morning I don't need him accusing me of taking advantage of Shawn
especially when Shawn volunteered the truth and Billy blew that off too."

"Okay I see your point. I do believe you Tommy I am sorry."

"It's okay Joe I know he is your friend and I understand if you want to go
be with him."

"Screw him! Let him sit and think about it for a while. He can be a jerk
sometimes,"

"Sometimes?"

"Yeah. Well maybe often but we are just kids Tommy."

"Okay I see your point. But I am not giving in on this. He fucked up and he
is going to have to pay and understand it's my house not his and he is
still a guest in it!"

"Right I totally agree. It's your call Tom."

"Thank you."

"Your welcome."

"Good now I am starving pass me the milk please."

"Sorry we are out. And we will have to stop and get more before it all goes
bad."

"Huh?"

"I really don't want to explain it again just know that eventually we will
be out of milk."

"Huh?"

"Really Joe... sometimes... no more cows... no more milk!! Get it now?"

"Oh yeah. Geeze that sucks I didn't even think about it."

"Obviously!"

"Okay, okay don't be a smart ass!"

"Okay guys lets all calm down. Danny chimed in. This place is like a zoo
this morning. Did we forget that last night Tommy almost got killed and so
did Shawn. Let's cut him some slack now okay Joey?"

"Sure, I'm sorry guys."

"Okay forget about it."

"Thanks Danny."

He came over to me and rubbed my back.

"You're welcome Tommy. I still think your number one no matter what. You
got big balls in my eyes doing what you did last night no matter what
happened today."

I smiled at him.

"Well now the crappy part comes. We have to go back to those dead guys and
see who they are if that is possible."

"Do we have to? Asked Danny. I hate dead people."

`I'm afraid we have to but you can stay here alone if you want or you can
go join Billy at his house."

"Umm, no I think going with you sounds like a plan."

"All right then. As soon as everyone eats we leave."

"Okay."

"And one more thing. As long as Billy is out of this house and on the shit
list he is also out of the loop and doesn't get told about what goes on in
here. CLEAR? I am not asking this one guys I am telling you. Since it's my
house what goes in under this roof stays here. That's how I want it. I am
not saying you can't talk to him. I would never do that to anyone but what
we do is our business not his. You can tell him that for me. I don't care
one bit. He is out as of now and he is going to have to do some major ass
kissing to even come back in here more then move back in."

They all shook their head in agreement understanding that it is my place
and I make the rules in here at least if not everywhere. I earned that
after last night if I earned anything!!

"Oh and I don't care if you want to feed him Joey that's up to you. I am
not that mean but it's your decision not mine. Just make sure whatever you
give him is NEVER the last bit of what we have. He gets what we have plenty
of or nothing at all. That's my only rule on that. We eat first, then him
if you want to feed him."

"Sure, no problem, that seems plenty fair to me."

"Good. I am going up to get dressed and then we leave in a bit. No one has
to go you can stay here but I am going either way. It's your own call on
this since its dead people and I don't want to gross out anyone."



Chapter 7.  The search... and moving on?



I headed upstairs to shower and get dressed knowing it was going to be
another difficult day. I needed to cum anyway after playing with Shawn and
getting hard myself. If fucking Billy didn't start shit I might have had
some fun but in a way I am glad he did because I know I would have felt
guilty about it afterwards. I stripped and grabbed a fresh towel and headed
to the bathroom. Danny came running down the hall after me and knocked on
the door as I was shutting it.

"What's up Dan?"

"Can I shower with you Tommy?"

"Sure, go grab a towel and come right in."

He left and a minute later he was back and entering the bathroom.

"Lock that door please. I don't want any interruptions from anyone I just
want a nice shower... with you."

He stepped in with me and I could already tell he wanted something because
his cock was semi hard. Mine was growing by the second just looking at
Danny's sweetness.

"So what will it be Dan? Suck or fuck?"

"Um... suck please; I don't think I want that up my ass yet."

"Okay got ya."

He got on his knees and took my hard 5 inches into his mouth and started
sucking like a mad man. It felt great and I knew at this rate between this
morning and his vacuum lips I would blow my load quickly. He was doing
quite well and I was getting close quickly. I yelled a warning to him and
then without any further warning I was filling his mouth with my seed. I
counted or felt at least four solid jets of cum before the orgasm took over
and I was in joyville. I leaned back against the shower wall and the next
thing I knew Danny was up and washing in front of me. I got off the wall
and from behind I got close to him and kissed his neck then whispered to
him how good he did and that I couldn't wait to return the favor soon but
not now since we need to get moving on the dead guys. He turned to me and I
gave him a quick peck on the lips as a thank you and then we washed each
other all over creating two more hardon's but time prevented us from going
another round. We got out dried off and headed to our rooms to get
dressed. While I was dressing Shawn came in.

"So how was he?"

"Who do you mean Shawn?

"Danny?"

"What do you mean how was he?"

"Come on I know what happened in there."

"Really are you a mind reader all of a sudden?"

I tried to leave it at that but he wouldn't drop it.

"Please? I want to know!"

"He is good, he sucks a good cock and that means a lot."

"Oh, glad to know that but I don't want to know why it means a lot. That is
something I can wait to learn. I do want to know something though. How was
I compared to the others?"

"Others?" I smirked as I said that.

"Oh come on Tommy you can't leave me hanging without giving me something."

"Okay well I will tell you this; there have been a few and since you're a
beginner you are very good but I have had better... just that one of them
was more experienced otherwise I would have to put you at number one."

"Really?"

His eyes widened and he suddenly seemed proud of his achievement. I just
smiled, chuckled at him and finished dressing then went to him and gave him
some of my Brother Kyle's clothes to wear. As I went through KY's closet
earlier I started to tear up knowing I would never see my twelve year old
brother again. We were very close and I loved him very much, in a brotherly
way not sexual at all!! It was never a thought, EVER! Kyle was on the
skinny side and rather small for his age and so far his clothes fit Shawn
perfectly. Maybe that was one of the reasons I cared so much for Shawn, he
was very similar to my brother in size but that was where the similarities
ended. Kyle had dark hair and brown eyes. As for Shawn, well you sure know
how cute looks already by how I described him. Kyle would have been a
looker no doubt but he wasn't ready for girls yet and I really didn't think
he liked guys like I do but I will never know now. He was very smart and
always seemed to know what I was thinking. The only thing he never caught
onto was that I was gay unless he respected my feelings and just never said
anything. That would have surprised me because we talked about everything
and up till he was nine even showered together occasionally but like I said
it was never anything sexual. He was my brother! We were just very close
and good friends. Well anyway I'm not even sure where him my mother or
father were because we were in the tunnel at the time it would be so
awesome if we found him alive somewhere but its been five days now so if he
is alive I don't know where he would be and that alone is creepy thinking
he could be lost or worse still alive and out there alone.

"Ready to go or you staying here?"

"Well to be honest Tommy I really don't want to see dead people but I have
to do this so I can put it behind me knowing that they are both dead and
gone forever so I have to go."

"Okay brave boy you certainly have a lot more balls then I did at your
age."

He smiled at me and I tousled his hair and we headed downstairs.

"Okay I am ready, where is Joey? Or should I guess." I said as I looked at
Jon.

"He went over to see Billy. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that
chat."

"Yeah I bet Jon. So we are all going, right Danny?"

"I guess so."

"What's up with him Tom?"

"Oh Danny doesn't like dead bodies Jon can't really blame him it's not
something I am looking forward too either."

We all headed outside and I locked up. We are walking there so I don't need
the car for a few blocks. I sent Danny over to Billy's to see if Joey was
going and he came back alone shortly afterwards.

"He said to go without him he wants to try and talk to Billy about the crap
he is going through and so on."

"Well if anyone can get to him I guess it will be Joey. They are
close. Okay guys lets go."

I didn't let on that I was carrying the gun just in case. I didn't want to
panic any of them. The walk was eerie and went a lot quicker then I though
it would. The first guy was still lying in the lot where I shot him. We
approached him cautiously well actually I did they stayed back probably out
of fear. He was lying on his side almost on his belly slumped over. As I
got close I put one hand on my gun just in case. I got up next to him and
kicked him hard in the back to see if there was any life left in him. He
didn't move. He was dressed in a pair of slacks and a dark shirt with a
vest over it. I walked around to the other side of him and there was a
puddle of blood from the gunshot in front of him. He was dead
alright. Using my foot I pushed him over on his back. I nailed him right
above the left eye. It was pretty gruesome his eyes were still open and it
was more scary then anything. I looked over to them and yelled to keep away
it wasn't too pretty. Of course that brought them all over to see. Morbid
fucks they were. Danny was most hesitant and stayed a few feet away. Jon
came right up to the guy and took a look.

"Gross!" he said

"Well I warned you."

Then Shawn came closer. He appeared to be calm as he walked over and stood
next to me.

"You okay kid?"

"No, not at all this guy hurt me bad over and over and he didn't suffer at
all he probably died right away when you shot him."

"I shot him twice. The first time he attacked me with a wooden pole or
something I shot him in the arm I think... I guess. He didn't move and I
took off after you."

"Yeah well he fucked me in the ass a lot and I want payback now."

It was the first time I really heard Shawn curse but I understood why.

"He is dead Shawn what can you do?"

I guess he had an idea. He went to the guy's feet and pulled them as we
watched in silence. The he took the guys legs and spread them apart. I was
getting an idea but I didn't expect what he did next. After he spread the
guy's legs he went up to him and started kicking him in the balls over and
over. After about five or six times he stopped and fell to the ground
crying. I wanted to go to him and Jon made an attempt but I grabbed his
arm.

"Let him be for a minute he needs to get through this his best way
possible."

We stood and watched. He got up and cursed at the guy and then got close to
him. We couldn't tell what he was doing at first and then I saw. He was
taking off the guys pants for some reason.  He took off both shoes and then
pulled his slacks off and then the guy's boxers leaving him naked from the
waist down. I looked at the others and they were just as puzzled as I
was. Then he screamed something and started nailing the guy in the balls
again. I guess he wanted to make sure he got even on some level. I saw
enough and walked over because he wasn't stopping this time.  I grabbed for
him and pulled him away from the guy's body. At first he put up a little
struggle and then he turned and looked at me and started to cry and buried
his face into my shirt. I held him tight for a minute and then walked him
away from the dead guy and over to the others. After a few minutes he
looked at me and spoke.

"I hope you didn't think badly of me for what I did but I needed to get the
anger out after what he did to me. I couldn't think of any other way and as
bad as that probably looked it really felt good. I looked at his cock again
and thought of how it hurt when he shoved it up my ass and then I kicked it
as hard as I could over and over I nailed him in the balls for every time
he hurt me and then some. I really didn't think much but I really enjoyed
getting even and kicking him in his sack even if he was dead."

The guys listened as I did and no one said a word. I walked over to the guy
and took another look at him. Not that you could tell but it appeared that
Shawn did a good job on him. His sack was flattened and his cock was tiny
now. Probably was a good five or six inches when he shoved it up Shawn's
ass. For good measure I nailed him one time too. I had other thoughts about
what I wanted to do but I knew if I did what I wanted I would probably
scare the piss out of the others. I turned and walked back over to
them. Jon looked at me and spoke.

"So did it feel good when you kicked him in the nuts too?"

"Not really I just did it for payback when he smacked me across the back
with the wooden plank."

"So what do we do with him?"

I was about to say something and Shawn just blurted out that we should
`burn the fucker' just like that.

"Um, Shawn I can appreciate that you're hurt but I really don't think I am
in the mood for a barbeque."

He laughed and the others just made a blech noised causing me to laugh.

"Well we can leave him to rot but that will just become an eye sore and
none of us need to smell that if we come back this way. So in a way Shawn
is right. Either we burn him or burry him but we have to do something."

"I say burn his ass! Squawked Shawn. I want to light him up myself."

"Well I think we need to think this out. Personally I don't care but it is
a human body and it's going to get pretty raunchy if we do that. The stink
alone will probably be horrible and I know I am not going to clean up the
ashes or really want to come back over here after he burns up. I don't need
that visual memory, no thanks."

"Then what do we do with him Tommy?"

"I really don't know Shawn. Burry him I guess."

"Leave him to rot!"

"I will leave it up to you Shawn. I don't like burning him but he hurt you
so you decide."

"Got any matches?"

I got a little sick thinking he made the decision this fast and that a nine
year old wanted to stoop to this level.

"Are you sure Shawn?"

"I am not going to put anything into burying him and I am not going to
smell his ass rot if the wind turns to our house's direction so what else
it left? I don't want to really burn him up either but I thought about the
other choices and I refuse to dig that fuck a hole and I really don't want
to smell him rot if we just leave him."

I talked to the others and we decided as a group that would probably be the
best way to get rid of him. I handed Shawn the matches and he went over the
guy and tried to light him on fire. After a few minutes I started over and
saw why he wasn't getting anywhere.  He was trying to light the guys cock
and balls on fire and burn him that way.

"No Shawn, light the coat and lets get out of here I really don't want to
see this."

He lit his coat and after it got going we all turned away and without
looking back we headed to the area where I thought the other guy would
be. When we got far enough away I turned and then the others did and we saw
the smoke and some flames and knew we did what we had to as gross or wrong
as it seemed. We walked around the back of the building where I thought the
other guy was and found nothing so we searched more and even spread out so
we could cover more ground. No one found a thing and after about thirty
minutes of looking I feared that the guy could still be alive and hurt
somewhere. I didn't dare tell Shawn but what else could have
happened. Maybe I just wounded him, after all it was dark and I don't
remember where I shot him. The truth was going to have to be told to Shawn
as hard as it would be. I walked over in his direction.

"Find anything yet?"

"No, nothing, I'm starting to get scared Tommy what if he is still alive?"

"That was what I was thinking Shawn."

"NOOOOOO! No he can't be alive! Tommy I can't live if he is alive I am too
afraid!"

"Okay calm down Shawn. You are safe with us I promise you that. If he is
still alive he will not get to you! Over my dead body!"

"Shawn we will keep looking a bit longer okay?" Jon said.

With tears running down his face he shook his head yes.

"Tommy we have to find him he is the one that really hurt me. He is the one
that punched me and kicked me and slapped me in my nuts. He hurt me the
most Tommy we have to find him!"

I found a puddle of blood finally and knew he was still alive. I followed
the trail for a bit then called the others over.

"Looks guys this has to be him. Let's follow it. Shawn you okay with this?"

"Not really but I have to do it. I can't live this way Tommy I will have
nightmares if he is alive."

"Well the trail is heading to your house so far Shawn. It would make sense
that he would go back there if that is where he was staying and so on."

"I don't want to go back there Tommy it hurts too much!!"

"Okay, I think you have had enough. Danny please take him back home."

"Noooo! Shawn yelled out. Noooo!"

"Look Shawn I don't know what to do with you. You can't come with us
because you're afraid and you don't want to leave for some reason too. What
do you want to do?"

"I want to stay with you!"

"But I am going to search for the guy that hurt you."

"Then I will be strong and go with you."

"All right then follow closely but stay back some. That goes for all of
you."

We started following the trail and sure enough it led to Shawn's house. I
started to climb the steps to his front door but before I did I took out
the gun surprising the others.

"You guys didn't really think I was going to do this alone did you?"

They didn't answer; just pretty much shrugged their shoulders. I pushed
open his front door it creaked as I did so. Slowly and very cautiously I
entered his house. The blood trail was easy to follow on the light tan
carpet. I followed it to a closed door which looked like a bedroom. I took
a deep breath and grabbed the door handle. Slowly I turned it and then when
I was ready I pushed it open hard and quick. I scanned the room and focused
on the bed. It looked like his parents room and sure enough there was
someone in the bed. There was no movement as I entered; either the guy was
dead or asleep. I decided to play it carefully as I approached the bed. My
gun was drawn at him with my arms fully extended and pointing at his
back. My hands shook as I got closer not knowing what to expect from the
body in the bed. I got close enough to touch him and I decided to poke him
quickly and back off. As I poked I yelled don't move. I poked him very hard
with the tip of the gun. He didn't move. There was no response at
all. While focusing on him I rounded the bed so I could see the front of
him. If he was dead it didn't show and I wished I had some help for the
first time because I didn't want to get closer without knowing for sure if
he was alive. I scanned the room for something to poke him with from a
distance and saw a broom handle in the corner so without taking my eyes off
him I walked to the stick and grabbed it and then walked back over to the
guy. With the gun in one hand I took the stick in the other and aimed for
his head and poked him right in the forehead. There was no movement. So I
decided to go for it all and I aimed lower right for the nut sac to be
exact. I took aim and with some force I shoved the stick directly into his
groin. I struck it straight on and made good enough contact to rock the
body and got absolutely no response from him. I poked good and hard all
around the area three or four more times with no response so I assumed he
was dead. I got closer and with the stick and now both hands I pushed the
body as hard as I could rolling him off the bed and onto the floor. He hit
with a thud after rolling off the bed landing on his back. I walked around
to him and just for good measure I gave him one good hard, solid kick right
in the nuts and there was no movement. He too was dressed similar to the
other guy so I walked up on him and notice the blood soaked vest and the
bullet hole in his vest. As I pulled the clothes back I noticed the hole
close to the heart and blood soaked shirt. He probably made it back here
and bled to death on the bed. I pulled the covers back and sure enough the
bed was soaked in blood. I checked this guys pockets for some ID and they
were empty, just some money. I grabbed his wallet and found his drivers
license and his name and address. Simon Bishop was his name and his address
was across town. I headed out to the others.

"Its okay guys he is inside and dead on the floor."

Shawn looked relieved and came up to me and started asking questions. I
answered them as best as I could and he decided he wanted to go
inside. Cautiously he entered his house. It appeared that the room the guy
was in was his parent's bedroom. Shawn entered and saw the guy on the
floor.

"That's him. He is the other one that hurt me. That fucking jerk off!"

He went up to him and just as he did with the other one started kicking the
guy in the groin. After about five or six kicks he stopped and turned to
me.

"Please help me get him out of my house. I don't want this scum in my house
any longer."

All four of us grabbed a piece of him and started tugging and pulling him
through the house and then outside and down the steps. His head hit each
cement step one by one as he was dragged down the steps. I noticed Shawn
talking great pleasure in the head as it thudded from step to step. When we
reached the bottom we pulled him aside on the grass and let his lifeless
body flop to the ground. Shawn quickly reentered the house and looked in
each room for whatever reason he had in mind. No one was there and he
gathered a few things together and put them in a pillow sack and brought it
outside.

"I'm gonna take this stuff back with me to your place if that's all right."

"Sure."

"Okay now what do we do with that ass hole outside?"

"Well we can't do the same thing as we did to the other guy, I am sure you
don't want him burning on your property do you?"

"No. can we get a rope and the car and drag him somewhere and then do
that?"

I looked at the others and they seemed to like the idea so we headed back
to my place to get the car and some rope and get rid of this guy once and
for all.  When we got there Joey and Billy were outside talking and playing
I guess probably waiting for us. Joey came over to find out what new
information we had. We filled him in and he went over to talk to Billy
again and then came back with us to my place leaving Billy behind.

"So what's up with Billy?"

"Not much he isn't happy with you and as of right now isn't interested in
coming back to live with us. He said last night was a little scary but
eventually he fell asleep and got up this morning without any problems at
all."

"Good for him. I hope he enjoys living alone."

"Well he won't be alone again tonight; I am going to stay over there
tonight."

I wasn't too happy but I didn't have a choice in the matter so I just gave
him a dirty look and told him to go get his stuff and bring it over to
Billy's house and he told me fine he was coming with us to go do that
now. When we got back to my place he went upstairs and grabbed his stuff
and a few things Billy left behind. It had grown hot out with the sun
beating down and I knew it wouldn't take too long for that guy to start
stinking so I hurried up the guys and we all got in the car to leave as
Joey headed to Billy's house with full hands. We drove over to Shawn's
house and I got out and tied the rope to the guys leg and then to my
bumper. Shawn yelled out to me that I should tie it to his cock and drag
him that way but I wasn't about to even go there. This will probably make
plenty of mess as it is. It will certainly be a new experience for me. I
started the car and slowly took off. The rope tightened its slack and the
guy started to follow. I went slowly even thought the others requested I
speed up. I wasn't looking to rip the guy into pieces just get him to a
place where we could get rid of him. We drove to the bridge and I stopped
the car and we got out over the water on the bridge. The rough edges of the
bridge did a number on his clothes and his head he was pretty torn up now
and a trail of blood led to where we stopped. I untied the rope and without
getting any blood on ourselves the four of us lifted him up and over the
side of the bridge and watched him fall about 20 feet or so into the river
below. He hit with a big splash and Shawn cheered as the body started to
sink and go underwater. We got back in the car and drove to the closest
drugstore so I could get some supplies for Shawn's butt. This place had a
small section full of food so we loaded up on medicine and found some milk
that was still okay and whatever else we wanted, including gum candy and
anything else that looked good to eat or use as medicine for Shawn. As
usual I went and emptied the cash draw just incase we ever needed it. It
was full of cash and we got at least a thousand if not more.

"That was fun. Said Shawn. I'm glad it's over though."

"Yeah I am too. Now we just need to get home soon and get that salve on
your butt so you can heal up. How are you feeling??"

"Still sore but not as bad as it has been. I think getting those two taken
care of has helped a lot."

"Yeah I figured it might. Now at least you can sleep tonight without any
fear that they will be back. They are both gone."

"I know. I am so happy that's over with."

He looked at me and smiled. It was nice to see the cutie smiling again. I
stopped to fill the gas tank like I always did and soon we were on our way
home.

"Why do you fill up so much Tommy?"

"Because I don't know how much longer the power will be on Danny. If we
lose power for any reason we are screwed. Can't pump gas or keep the food
cold any longer. So basically if the power goes out for more then a few
days the best thing we can do is move on down the road and hope for another
place to live with power and shelter."

"But I don't want to leave here Tommy."

"I don't either Shawn but we can't live well without power and certainly
can't live without a way to eat and keep whatever we have cold so the only
thing I can think of is to move it the power ever goes off for more then a
few days or maybe we could get a generator or two but you still need gas to
run them. Guess we can decide when or if it ever happens."

"I guess your right. I didn't think much about that. Let's just hope that
never happens."

"Yeah let's hope."

The rest of the ride was pretty quiet and we were home about fifteen
minutes later. We all carried stuff into the house and I shut the
door. There are only four of us now and they are on their own eating so we
will see how long they last without food. Or maybe they have enough I
really don't know and don't care. Joey is welcome back but not just for
food. Billy can't come back anymore unless he is willing to pay the
ultimate price and I doubt that he will want to suffer that humiliation so
he is on his own from now on. The ultimate price by the way is anal! No one
has had to put up with that yet other then maybe a finger up the ass but
for Billy his punishment will be my cock shoved up his ass as far and hard
as I want to do it. I don't see that happening so he is on his own from now
on or till he gets tired of being alone or whatever happens to drive him
back to us. Anything can happen or change and I can be as sympathetic as
anyone and rules are meant to be broken too. As far as I can see though he
will probably be fine with Joey there. I am sure Joey will stay and move in
eventually. I am gonna go ask him now and get this over with. I walked over
and rang the bell and Billy came to the door.

"I need to talk to Joey."

He didn't say anything to me just turned and walked away and a few seconds
later Joey came to the door.

"What's up Tommy?"

"I want to know what you're planning on doing staying here. You moving in
permanently or visiting?"

Billy must have been listening and came over to the door and yelled out
moving in permanently. It definitely caught Joey off guard by the look on
his face. There was dead silence for almost a minute and I awkwardly waited
and then I asked again.

"I really don't know Tommy. I didn't know I had to make a decision."

Nice move throwing it back at me.

"I just need to have an idea so I could give Shawn the room you were
using. He has stuff he wants to bring it upstairs and I want to give him an
area to call his own."

"I'm surprised you don't want to keep him in your bed you faggot!" Billy
yelled out.

Knowing I could do some good damage to his face with my fist I decided to
ignore his comment and I turned my attention back to Joe.

"So?"

"Am I welcomed back to your place if I change my mind?"

"Yes you are Joe, but not dick head inside. It's your call you haven't done
anything wrong even if you decide to stay with little cock. He is your
friend and everyone needs a friend especially the way things are now so if
you change your mind let me know. I don't need my doorbell ringing in the
middle of the night unless it's an emergency though so if you change your
mind wait till daytime."

I spoke my peace and got my jab in against Billy, not that he wasn't
jabbing back just as hard. Even though he didn't respond I am sure he heard
me. I turned and walked away without saying anything else. I stopped
suddenly and turned back to him.

"Oh and Joey?"

He opened the door and stuck out his head.

"Yeah?"

"Not that I am trying to be cruel but the only thing you have to know is as
long as you stay there with him you eat there too. There will be nothing
for you from my place from now on. You and little dick need to find your
own food. I am sorry but that is my rule. I feed who is under my roof not
the neighborhood."

I turned and walked back to my house and heard his door shut behind me. I
knew I gave them something to think about with the food issue. In a matter
of time whether days or weeks they would be out of food and then things
will change. Then maybe I will get my revenge on little dick. I am in no
hurry. I opened the door and all three of them were standing there. I knew
I was about to get bombarded with questions.

"So what happened when you went next door Tommy?" Asked Danny.

"Other then a few words with Billy not much. I talked mostly to Joey and
told him that he can stay but there will be no food from here to either of
them. So I hope all of you understand as time goes on that we don't feed
the neighborhood. I know it might sound prickish and harsh but they are not
going to live on their own and have us go shopping for them. No one would
do that for us either. And I am certainly not going to cook for them. We'll
see how that goes in a few days."

"But what if Joey wants to come back?" Danny asked.

"I told him he is welcomed back anytime I am not mad at him but Billy can't
come back without paying for his mouth. Especially after he started in with
me again while I was over there talking to Joey, the comments were pretty
cut throat and anti gay. I can't put up with that whether I am straight,
gay or bi that is my personal feelings!"

"What did he say Tommy?"

"I asked Joey if he was going to come back because I was going to give you
the room that he was staying in and Billy yelled out something about being
surprised I didn't want you staying in my bed so I could fuck you. Not in
those exact words but that was what he meant Shawn."

"Yeah well fuck him Tommy; he has such a big mouth he can live in his
place. You have never taken advantage of me and he can suck my dick if he
thinks you did."

I smiled.

"So I can have his room then Tom?"

"Sure take your things and move them into that room. There are clean bed
linins if you want to change the sheets in the room."

"Thanks."

He went and grabbed his stuff and headed upstairs. I looked at Jon and
Danny to see if they had anything to say about me giving him that room.

"Any problem with that guys?"

"None here Tom."

I looked at Danny.

"Nope I am very happy with what I have."

"Good then if you two want we can go by your houses and get stuff for you
guys too. I am sure you have things you want here. I mean I am assuming you
two want to stay here? You're always welcome to go home and stay by your
own houses."

I looked at Danny.

"Not me! I mean yeah I want to bring stuff over but I don't want to go live
home alone. I really like it here in more ways then one."

He smiled at me.

"Kewl!"

"Hell no! I don't want to move back home. I think it's a good idea to go
there and get my stuff. I could use some fresh clothes."

"Good. Then since we have nothing to do why don't we take a trip to both
your houses and get things to bring back here since you each have your own
rooms now."

I yelled up to let Shawn know we were leaving and he flew downstairs
apparently not wanting to miss anything or be left alone. Can't say I blame
him much. We headed out to the car since Jon lives around the block and
Danny does too but the other way. I locked the door so that our neighbors
wouldn't help themselves to anything in particular and we were on our
way. When I started the car the door opened next door and two heads popped
out apparently wondering where we were off to without them. Sucks to be
them I guess. As they stood there watching I drove away. This probably
won't be the last time they lose out on a trip with us. Even though this
one wasn't far it was odd not having a full car and hearing someone in the
rear fight for a window seat. Now everyone had a window since there are
only four of us. I pulled into Jon's driveway and for the first time since
the storm he was home again. He seemed to have mixed feelings as we
followed him to his front door. He opened it and walked in. It wasn't
locked. I held the others back for a minute and gave him some private time.

 "Look guys lets give him time alone to check the house. We'll do the same
for you too Danny since you probably haven't been home either since the
storm."

"Thanks. I didn't give that much thought but if he is having any of the
feelings I am now then time alone is a good thing."

We waited by the car for about five minutes or so and then I yelled we were
coming in and headed to his still opened front door.

"Stay here guys okay?"

They nodded in agreement. I walked in and looked for Jon. After a minute or
so and three empty rooms I found his bedroom. He was packing a few things
in a pillowcase that was lying on his bed. I walked up to him startling him
a bit and looking at him I could see why. He was crying. Apparently he
missed his family. He was holding a family picture and looking at it as the
tears rolled down his cheeks. I put my arm around him for some kind of
support and he put the picture on his bed and turned to me and hugged me.

"I miss them so much." He whimpered.

"I know pal. I miss my family too. It's the worst part about this but we
can't do anything except stick together and hope we do all right."

Wiping the tears from his face he nodded.

"I know. But this sucks! It hurts more then anything or any pain I ever had
in my life."

I knew exactly what he meant. I have the same feelings when I look at
Kyle's clothes on Shawn's body. It hurts knowing that Kyle, mom and dad are
gone but at least I can still see his clothes and think about him through
Shawn image some. I picked up the picture and looked at Jon's family in
it. His mom, dad, brother and sister. All of them gone. I felt a hole in
the bottom of my belly like something big was missing.

"I know you miss them Jon. I'm sorry. I guess we are your family now."

"You know you are."

He gave me another hug and then went back to packing up whatever he
wanted. I went to the front door and waved the others in to help. Not that
there was much any of use could do beside moral support anyway. He gathered
up a bit of stuff and we started to take it to the car and load the
trunk. A few minutes later he was ready to go and I took the others out to
give him another minute alone with his house. I smiled at him and told him
we would be in the car when he was done.

"Thanks, I won't be long."

I really loved Jon the most out of all of them but I care a lot about all
of us now. Even (swallowing hard to admit it) dick head. We are all there
is around here and I am sure I will forgive him eventually because that is
how I was raised. I shut the trunk and got in the car and before long Jon
came out and put his last bit of stuff in the car and shut the door. I
looked at him in the mirror and then I got out of the car and all eyes were
on me. I looked at him and waved him out wanting to tell him something. He
came around the car to me and I stood in front of him so the others
couldn't really see anything but my back. In a low tone I talked to him.

"I know that was very hard to do and I am proud of you for getting through
it like you did. Now I want something from you I haven't seen in a while."

"What's that Tommy?"

"I desperately need to see that killer cute smile of yours right now so I
know everything is all right in your mind. You know you're my favorite and
I love you to death but seeing you so upset before just broke my heart and
I can't change what has happened but I can make sure you know that I love
you tons."

I thought I was going to get a fake one just to make me happy but I guess
the words must have hit him perfectly. He grinned as wide as ever and it
just made me feel all warm inside. I didn't care who was looking I took him
into my arms and gave him a huge hug. When we broke I looked at him again
so I could soak up more of his beauty and he was still smiling ear to ear.

"Come on pal lets go take care of Danny now. I am sure that won't be easy
either."

We got back in the car and the others looked curious as to what we
discussed but I wasn't saying anything and if Jon wanted to talk it was up
to him. I started the car and headed for Danny's house. That ride didn't
take long either and I pulled up in front of his house he got out and
cautiously opened his front door. He appeared to look lost but I am sure it
was just being back home for his first time since the comet strike that was
freaking him some. We left him alone for about five minutes too before I
got out and walked to the front door. I yelled I was coming in and he said
okay I am upstairs. I looked for a family photo and found one on the
wall. I didn't know his mom or dad well nor his two sisters and
brother. Five people from one family wiped out in an instant just like all
of ours too. Well I could see where he got his cuteness from his mom was
pretty nice looking as was his dad. Even his sisters both had long blonde
hair. He had a younger brother I guess around seven and he had dirty blonde
hair and it looked like hazel eyes in the picture but it was hard to tell
from the distance it was taken at. I headed upstairs and he was packing a
lot of stuff. Mostly clothes from what I saw.

"How you holding up Dan?"

"Fine I guess. I haven't looked in mom's room or my sis or bro's because if
I do it's just going to make me miss them more and cry."

"That's okay you do what you want to its not like you can't come back here
anytime and smell mom's clothes or sit on their beds. You do what you want
my friend."

I stood and watched him pack he took his pillows and even his bedspread and
put it all in a pile with about three bags of clothes. I was starting to
wonder where I was going to fit it all in the car.

"Okay I have everything I need."

"I'll call the others to help carry it out."

"Okay thanks."

I went and waved them in and we all headed up to his room and started
bringing his stuff down.

"Fit it in as best you can guys. I am sure we have enough room for it."

They did just fine and I walked back to the door and told him we were done
and when he was ready come on down just like I did for Jon. I didn't hear
any response and I was a bit concerned so I headed back up to check on him
and he wasn't in his room. I walked the house some and found him lying on
his parent's bed hugging a pillow. I felt so bad knowing he missed then as
much as I did mine. I was going to go back out but I heard him crying and I
went over to the edge of the bed and sat next to him and put my hand on his
back. He was facing away from me.

"Its okay Danny let it out pal. You cry all you want it's just me and you
and I totally know how you feel."

He started balling even harder after I said that and he started to shake
from the crying like he was getting hysterical. I leaned over to him and
tried as hard as I could to lift him up and comfort him some. He wasn't
letting up yet and I finally got him sitting up and holding on to his mom's
pillow like it was her. I took it from him and put it back on the bed and
pulled him closer to me. I put my arm around him as much as I could. He was
a big boy and it wasn't easy to totally comfort him. He was almost as tall
as I was and there was little doubt he would be over six feet tall
someday. He hugged me back and we just held each other for a few minutes as
his crying subsided some. Finally he stopped all together and I handed him
a tissue out of the box next to the bed. He wiped his face and looked at
me. His pretty face was red and his eyes too from all the crying.

"You okay now?"

"No... not really, I want my momma back."

Again the tears began to flow but not as bad as before.

"Come one Danny lets go I think you need some air and to get out of this
room so you can calm down some."

I helped him up and he hugged me as I tried to walk him out of the
room. Finally with some coaxing I got him downstairs on the couch and the
other two were at the front door. When they realized what was going on they
came over by us and tried to help comfort Danny. They startled him and he
quickly wiped the tears from his cheeks and I could see the embarrassment
in his eyes as he looked straight at me.

"It's okay Dan they know what you feel like too and there is nothing to be
embarrassed about we have all cried over this and it's totally okay
to. Come on lets go you need some air and we should go soon."

He nodded and the three of us headed out with him slowly following.

"It's okay you can come back anytime you want."

"Yeah I know but it's just so hard leaving here knowing everyone is gone."

I caught a glimpse of something that looked weird and moved past Danny to
go look at what it was. I walked into the kitchen and something wasn't
right but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I took a look in the sink
and there were fresh dishes in there. I felt the hair on the back of my
neck stand up as I turned to yell for Danny.

"DANNY! Dan come here! Look at this."

He came over to me puzzled by why I was yelling for him.

"What? There are dishes in the sink, so what."

"Look closer."

"They are wet Dan. Someone has been in here recently and unless I am
mistaken it might be one of your family."

By now the others were back in the house. I guess they heard me scream for
Danny and came back in. they were over looking in the sink.

"You think so Tommy?"

"Well look Dan, these are wet. You haven't been here for almost four days
and they would have been dried out by now. Someone has to have been here."

He went to the basement door and opened it and yelled hello downstairs. No
answer. He flipped on the light and ran downstairs. He yelled and we all
flew down after him.

"What's going on... I stopped in mid sentence and looked in disbelief. Not
one but two sleeping bags were laid out on the floor and it was a
mess. Danny someone or two are alive from your family I think."

He smiled wide.

"But who is it and where are they?"

We searched the whole house and came up empty. We headed outside to look
around and none of us saw anything. We looked in the back yard and then
Danny got the idea to check the garage.

"The bikes might be missing. Let's go see!"

We all ran over and he lifted the garage door. He scanned the garage.

"Tommy, Christian's bike is missing. He might be alive!! Oh God this is
great... but where is he. Where could he have gone and why are there two
sleeping bags downstairs. I am so confused."

"No one else's bike is gone Dan?"

"No those two are my sisters and I can't believe that Chris might be alive
and he has been on his own for four days. He is just seven Tommy. WE HAVE
TO FIND HIM!!"

"Okay kid calm down we will look around if he is alive he will be back
sometime soon he probably went out looking for food or something. Let's
hope so!"

Danny was smiling so wide. It was the happiest he looked in the four days
since this happened. It was getting late now and dark was starting to hit
us. If anyone was coming home I would assume it would be soon. We all sat
on his front stoop waiting for any sign and hoping we were right and
someone or his brother was still alive. Another hour passed and dark had
set on us. No sign of anyone and Danny looked so down I didn't know what to
say. All the signs were there, someone had been here since the comet hit
but who and where are they?

"Danny I hate to say this but I am getting hungry and we can't stay all
night. I am sorry you can stay if you want to but we need to move on back
home and settle in for the night. We can come back in the morning I
promise."

He sighed and a tear rolled down his cheek as he got up and shut the door
to the house and we all headed to my car to leave. I started it and turned
around to head back out of his block and back towards my place. I thought I
saw something ahead as the headlights shined that way and I hit the high
beams and sure enough someone was pedaling a bike towards us. I stopped the
car as they got closer and we all got out of the car. Danny started
screaming Christian's name at the top of his lungs and the kid on the bike
stopped and looked like he wasn't sure who it was. Then he realized it was
Danny and he dropped the bike and started running towards us. Danny started
running to him and they met half way and embraced. I started towards them
and by the time I got there I had tears in my eyes. It was his brother!  He
was alive and looked pretty good in what little car light we had. Danny got
up off his knees and they were both crying as I led them back to the car. I
got his brother in the car light and looked him over and he didn't look too
bad at all.

"How long have you been here Chris?" I asked him.

"A long time."

Danny asked, "Where were you when the comets came Chris?"

"I was sleeping downstairs in the cellar on my comfuter."

I guess he meant comforter. A big word for a seven year old but if he was
as smart as his older brother I could understand that. Danny took him and
picked him up and hugged him again. He didn't want to let him go as he
carried him to the front seat and sat him down. He was totally beaming.

"What have you been eating Chris?"

"Cereal like I always had for breakfast Danny. But I ran out of milk today
and I was out on my bike looking for more. I tried to ride to the store but
I couldn't find it. I thought I was lost coming back home in the dark. I
was gone all day looking and I was very tired from all the riding."

He hugged him again and we all got in the car. Danny sat up front with
Christian and the others got in the back. WE HAD ANOTHER SURVIVOR and
unbelievably it was a family member. I started to head back home and
realized we needed milk too and I turned to head for the local store to get
what was left. We got there and it was dark inside so I faced the car with
the high beams inside the store and we got out and went in to find
milk. There were a few gallons left and they appeared to still be okay. The
date on them was a few days from now. So we had some fresh milk again. We
took four gallons and headed home. This won't go to waste even if we all
have to drink milk for the next few days. Chris sat on Danny lap since the
car was full of clothes as I drove home.

"We can come back tomorrow for some of Christian's clothes Danny. I still
can't believe he is fine. I guess the cellar saved him."

"It sure looks like it."

I smiled at Danny as he still was smiling too as he hugged his brother all
the way home in the car.

"I have to talk to you about something when we get back Tommy. I am sure
you can figure it out though."

I thought and it hit me. I think he means all the sex. He had a point we
can't fuck around in front of a seven year old. Well not right away. I
might be responsible for Danny but I can not take his privileges away from
being his brother's keeper. We will have to figure something out so his
brother doesn't get wind of out sexcapades.  After Chris falls asleep we
can talk about it.

"We'll talk about it later Dan when he is asleep."

"Okay."

"Talk about what Danny?" Christian asked.

"Don't worry about it Chris, some things are private and your going to have
to get used to that."

"Okay baabaa."

All I could figure was that was his pet name for Danny. I smiled but I
heard snickering from the backseat. I ignored it for now since we were
home. As usual as we pulled up the nosy neighbors opened the door to see
what we were up to. When they saw us get out with the little boy Joey came
running over to find out who it was.

"Who's the kid Tom?"

"It's Christian, Danny's little brother we found him alive today at Danny's
house."

"That is so awesome. Danny I am so happy for you dude! Glad your brother is
alive."

"Thanks Joey. Thanks a bunch."

"We're going in before the milk spoils Joe talk to you later. Have a good
night with your friend. I sure hope he is worth it. Because you two are on
your own and I hope you have plenty to eat there too. Good night."

I turned and headed towards my door leaving Joey standing where we
talked. I really like him and I know he liked me unless Billy was
lying. But he made his choice and he has to live with it now. I can't
change for him or Billy will want the same. I turned as I got to the front
door and watched Joey head back towards Billy's house. I had a feeling it
wouldn't be long now before Joey had to make a tough decision and I would
bet that there wasn't much to eat inside there either. Maybe by tomorrow
night Joey might be back and if he comes back now he gets the couch. But
one thing at a time lets get Christian set up and cleaned up. He looked
healthy but he was definitely filthy and hadn't taken a bath in at least
four days. I can only imagine how well he cleaned himself after going to
the bathroom.

"Danny if you need a hand washing him let me know I will be downstairs and
he needs to be cleaned right now he stinks."

"I know he sat in my lap for the ride home. I love him but wow he needs a
bath!"

"Well take him up and give me his clothes I will throw them in the washer
for you while you bath him and when they are done he will be totally
clean."

"But what will he wear till they are dried?"

`Mmmmm? I guess he will either have to keep the bath towel around him or
walk around buck naked for a bit. I am sure he probably won't care either
way and I know you probably want to protect him but you have to remember
Danny eventually if he stays here he is going to face nudity and probably
walk in on someone either having sex or playing around. I can't shelter him
from that, you can try but you know it will only work for so long. I am
sorry my friend. Decide what you want and I will back you 100 percent but
it's not a foolproof life we live and you know it too. He is going to see
cock and sex eventually unless you take him back home. You know none of us
would ever touch or hurt him but he is going to have questions and you
better be prepared to answer them because my answers won't be as smooth as
yours will probably be."

He shot me a rather dirty look with what I said but deep down I think he
knew I was right. He took him upstairs and started the bath water. I
followed and took his clothes from Danny and saw the little bugger's cute
butt as Danny handed me the clothes.

"Cute, I said to him as I busted his balls. Nice buns he has."

"Bite me you horny cock sucker, he shot back at me. I knew you wanted to
see him naked!"

"Yeah, so what, is he bigger then you are down there? Remember Dan I know
exactly what you have big boy!"

He gave me the finger as he shut the bathroom door. I laughed as I took his
brothers clothes down to wash them for him. I was sure he knew I was just
kidding around. They sure did stink though and I didn't even want to see
how messy the underwear was after him wearing them for four day. I just
started the wash cycle and threw everything in with some soap and walked
away.



Chapter 8.  A brother found but friend lost?



I heard the noise from the bathroom as I headed back up to check on Danny
and his brother. They had been in there for a while now.  I knocked and
opened the door. Danny was drying him off as I peaked in.

"You need something Tommy?"

I grinned evilly at him.

"Yes, move that towel for me."

I really was kidding but I never expected Danny would do it. He dropped the
towel and I got a full look at Chris' little pecker. It wasn't more then
two inches but it reminded me of Danny's. I didn't dare tell him that
though.

"You happy now? Did you get to see everything you wanted?"

"I was kidding and I never expected you to actually show me him."

"Well like you said he will have to wait for his clothes to dry and I don't
want to keep him in a wet towel for an hour so I might as well get him used
to being naked."

"You know that's not exactly what I meant, I would give you something for
him to wear if you asked or even a dry towel if nothing else fit so don't
get all huffy on me! It's your decision what he wears Danny. Not ours. But
I can promise you if anyone were ever to touch him because he was naked or
for whatever reason I will beat the shit out of them and throw them out!"

"I never had any doubts that anyone would do that except YOU."

OUCH! I was hurt by that remark. I just shut the bathroom door and headed
to my room to be alone for a while. I didn't know what to do I was stunned,
like the wind was totally knocked out of me. That cut me deep! I was a
pervert but I never would touch a seven year old. Not on my worst day!! I
slammed my door shut and the room shook as I plopped down on my bed. I was
pissed off and very hurt! I think if he feels that strongly he should leave
in the morning. I am going to sleep on it but I never expected anything
like that from him. He was always so nice and that just hurt way too much
coming from him. Especially after all the nice things he has said
lately. Finding his brother has totally brought out the worst in him when
it comes to protection. Maybe he should see how it feels to protect him in
his own house. This was troubling me way too much I sat up and whipped open
my bedroom door and stomped down the hall to the bathroom and pushed open
the door where he was still drying off his brother.

"If you think that little if me... I shouted at him. Then in the morning
pack your things and take your brother home to your safe house where you
don't have to worry about anyone fucking touching him. I don't need the
hassle of constantly having to worry that you fear what I might do to a
seven year old and I certainly don't need you here with that opinion of
me. So with that in mind your fears are over! You better sleep well Danny
it will be your last night here!"

I slammed the bathroom door shut and then stomped back to my room and
slammed mine shut again. Let him think about that all night!  It wasn't too
late maybe close to 9pm, if that, but I was mad and tired so I just
stripped and went to bed. I was up early anyway this morning with Shawn. I
began to quietly cry from the hurt he caused me with those words. They just
came out of no where. I knew I was teasing but I thought he saw that. I
smiled when I said it! It had been a long time since I had anything that
bad happen to me that made me feel this sad. I didn't even cry after the
comet hit and I lost my family for some reason. When a kid I thought I knew
hits me right in the nut sack with strong words and hits so hard that it
not only floored me it brought me to a level I haven't been at since I lost
my favorite pet dog when I was ten I was speechless.  I was just dozing off
after running things through my mind and my door cracked open some I
quickly wiped my face not knowing who it was and still knowing I had to try
to be the strong one here. I didn't move to see who it was. I wasn't in any
mood to. I felt someone sit on the edge of my bed and I turned my head. It
was Shawn. I looked at him.

"You okay Tommy? You look like you have been crying. I heard what you said
to Danny. I don't know what he did to make you so upset I didn't hear the
other end of it but I know you well enough that he must have hurt you for
you to throw him out especially after he just found his brother. This
should be a happy time for everyone. I am sorry if I am talking too much if
you want I will leave but I just wanted to let you know I still love you
and if you need time alone I will sleep in my room tonight rather then in
here where I was going to. I was gonna ask you again when I heard your door
slam and I just decided to wait for things to calm some. I know Danny took
his brother into his room and shut his door and a few minutes ago he headed
down to the drier to get his clothes but other then that I don't know
anything else."

I just stared at him as he rambled on. Even in my rotten mood his cuteness
in the dim light cheered me up some. I let him go on like a wound up top
that wasn't stopping anytime soon.

"But anyway I just wanted to tell you all that. I am sorry if I bothered
you I will let you sleep now. Good night Tommy."

He leaned in and gave me a kiss on my cheek. As he went to turn away I
grabbed him by the arm and pulled him down to me. He softly landed on my
chest and put his head down and lay with me not saying another word.  I
brought my hand up and started running it through his hair as he lay on
me. Nothing was said for the longest time and then finally he broke the
silence with even more sweet words for me.

"I still love you Tommy no matter what. You saved me the other day and I
will never forget that no matter what!"

I sat up some and leaned forward and placed a kiss on his head into his
sweet blonde mop.

"I love you too Shawn and I am glad you came in tonight and started talking
to me. It made me feel better knowing I still had someone in the house that
cared about me."

"Well Jon was downstairs too and he heard what you did but he just went up
to his room after that and shut his door. I don't know why he didn't come
in to see you I thought you two were close."

"We are Shawn but maybe he just thought I needed time to cool off."

"Maybe."

"So can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Sure you can. Come on in under the covers or however you're comfortable
lying there."

He stayed on top of the covers and snuggled close to me actually placing
his head on my chest making it somewhat uncomfortable but it was worth it
for the love I was receiving. I brought my arm over and placed it around
him laying it across his side and over his chest and I gave him a hug
before I settled into a relaxed position. I closed my eyes and drifted off
into slumber.

I woke as usual with the sun rising outside my window and brightening up my
room. Shawn had rolled over and was sleeping like an angel on the other
side of the bed and I just lay there listening to him breathe for what
seemed like forever. There were no other noises to be heard the house was
quiet and so was outside. No birds chirping, no cars flying down the
thruway and most of all the old man that was across the way used to wake me
sometimes with his morning noises he made snorting or whatever he was
doing, it annoyed the piss out of me then and now I wish I could hear it
one more time. It was dead silence all around. Then something happened. My
silence was broken. I swore I heard a car go down the thruway. Chills ran
up my spine. There was someone else around or possibly just passing
through. Either that or I was losing my mind. Thoughts of others out there
came to me as I had expected but who was this person driving at 6am in the
morning? I might never know or might find out someday soon. Anyway I think
I will keep that to myself for now. Not good, not bad just mine to
ponder. An hour had passed now since I woke and heard what I thought was a
car go by and I have heard nothing since. I suppose I should get up and go
down to have some breakfast and wait for Danny to get up and see if he
regrets what he said last night. I am not as mad as I was then but I am
still very upset that he would stoop to that level. I sat up and rolled
over the edge of my side of the bed and as I did I must have caught Shawn
in a light sleep because he rolled over towards me. Not wanting to wake him
I stopped moving for a second until the cute little boy was silent
again. This time I slowly moved to get out of bed trying not to disturb
him. Success! I moved over to grab some clean underwear pulling mine down
and letting it slide past my ass to the ground then stepping out of then
and sliding into a new pair. I slid them back on when he came in the room
last night just incase. Then I grabbed a tee shirt and threw it on followed
by a pair of shorts and quickly but quietly left the room. Shawn didn't
stir the whole time I changed and I was now heading downstairs. With all
four of them safe and asleep upstairs I headed to the front door and opened
it to see what if anything had changed overnight. As I opened the door I
was greeted by the warm sun hitting my face and temporarily blinding me as
my eyes adjusted to its brightness. It was warm out. The air conditioned
house had done its job all night. Opening the door I could easily feel the
heat of the day creep up on me as I observed everything that was going on
outside. Which might I add was nothing? After checking out the dead
neighborhood I shut the door to keep the heat out and the cool air in. I
traipsed to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of orange juice and a clean
glass out of the dishwasher and poured myself a nice cold glass of semi
fresh orange juice. As I sat and sipped it I wondered how difficult the day
was going to be with Danny and Christian most likely leaving to go to a
more stable (using that word jokingly) atmosphere under their roof. I
really didn't know Chris that well but I thought I knew Danny a bit better
then he acted last night. I suppose I was wrong. I almost can't wait to see
what his decision is when he comes down later.  I took a few pieces of
bread and popped them into the toaster and made myself something to eat. I
think today I am going to take Jon and Shawn and go find a big freezer and
start to store bread and other things that we might be able to keep longer
in it so we won't have to worry about bread and orange juice and stuff like
that if time allows. Thankfully the local market probably has plenty of
frozen OJ and at least we will have that for a while. I still haven't come
up with a milk idea but I think that powdered milk is something to
try. Guess we will have to just see as time goes by. I buttered my toast
and poured myself a bowl of cereal and had a nice breakfast. As I was
finishing I heard foot steps upstairs and it was obvious someone was up. I
followed the sound to the steps and down came whoever it was. Seconds later
I was greeted by Christian. He smiled and I smiled back.

"I'm hungry, what's for breakfast?"

"Want some cereal?"

"Sure, what kind do you have?"

I rattled off the names of the four boxes we had in the cupboard and he
made his decision.

"Fine, frosted toasties it will be."

I got up and gave him a bowl, the small half gallon of milk so there would
be no mess, hopefully, and the box of cereal. I now had a silent, happy
seven year old eating with me. I went back and made a few more slices of
toast and finished up with a cold glass of milk. It tasted so good and I
don't know why but that probably bothered me most knowing some day soon we
won't have the great moo around anymore. It was after 7am now and I wasn't
too sure what to do with the little cutie I had in front of me who appeared
to be growing bored with nothing else to do now.

Thankfully I heard another set of footsteps bounce off into what sounded
like the bathroom. The surprises of mornings, never knowing who would be
coming down next. Eventually there was the flush of the toilet and then
down the steps came Jon.

"Morning Jon."

"Morning Tom. Bit of a rough night last night?"

"Kinda hard to miss that huh?"

"Yeah well... it's not like we are miles away. I didn't want to interfere
with it but what the hell happened?"

"My brother got mad at Tommy for some reason. Christian butted in to say. I
asked him about it and he told me not to worry about it and then we went to
bed."

"I guess that about sums it up with him here Jon. I'll fill you in later
with the details."

I pointed at the kid.

"Ohhhh, okay I get it."

"Glad you do." I smiled at him.

He sat down after grabbing a bowl and poured some cereal for himself.

"I don't think you heard it Jon but this morning while I was lying in bed
right about sunrise..."

I trailed off. Thought about what I was saying and what I thought to myself
earlier and should I finish.

"You heard what?"

I guess I should tell him after all if he is out alone it could matter.

"I heard what sounded like a car flying down the parkway."

He had a surprised look on his face.

"Yeah I know. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell anyone but after thinking
about it I came to decide that hiding stuff won't keep everyone safe."

"Do you think they are around?"

"Nah, from the sound of the car it was just passing through I didn't hear
it slow down and the exit is right here so whoever it was must have been
going somewhere else and they were flying by the quick sound the car
made. But like I said it probably was a car I thought I didn't see it."

"Yeah well just to be safe everyone should know this. It seems like the
longer we are around after the comet the more people we are finding. Who
knows maybe civilization might be back one day."

"I don't doubt that but I am sure it will probably be like it was a long
time ago where the populations grows slowly."

"Yeah eventually I guess we will start to see people again. But the real
question still is how many are alive and close to us?"

"Well in town we haven't seen any so I doubt more then a dozen or so but
who am I to say Jon. We're gonna have to wait and see."

"Guess so."

And with that he started eating and I went up to put on some clothes.

"Keep an eye on Chris till I get down or trouble comes down, okay?"

He nodded yes and I headed upstairs. I went to my room and quietly entered
knowing Shawn was still sleeping. I went to my closet and heard the covers
behind me and I turned and he was waking up now.

"Morning sleepyhead."

He stretched his arms out reaching for the ceiling.

"Morning Tommy. What time is it?"

"Clocks right there."

"Oh yeah I forgot."

It read 8:22.

"Well that was a really good sleep."

"Guess so I was up around 6am with the sun."

I grabbed some clothes and threw them on and sat on the edge of the bed by
Shawn and threw on my socks. Then I lay back in his direction. He was
sitting up but not out of bed yet.

"So want to do anything in particular today?"

"Yeah if it's okay with Jon I was thinking about going for a swim in his
pool."

"That sounds like a good idea, haven't thought much about doing normal
things lately. How's your butt feel today?"

"It's still a little sore but I think its getting better. When I went to
the bathroom yesterday it didn't hurt near as much as it had been. I
haven't pushed really hard thought I am afraid what might happen. Want to
check it for me?"

"Sure if you want me to."

He smiled sorta devilish at me and I got the hint. I played along.

"Okay well get up and strip boy!"

He sat up and then stood up and faced me. Then he smiled at me and dropped
his underwear letting them slid right to the floor. He had a half hard-on
and looked as cute as ever with his tee shirt the only thing stopping him
from being totally naked. He continued smiling right in front of me as I
once again got to scan his awesome nine year old body.

"Well the front sure looks nice."

"Thank you."

"Okay I guess its time to play doctor. On the bed boy and spread those
cheeks for me."

He got on all fours and placed his head into the pillows as he balanced
himself on the top part of his head and then brought back both arms to grab
his as cheeks. He placed one hand on each side and slowly pulled apart his
butt to give me his approval to look at him. I got on the bed and pulled
myself up to his sweet, round butt. His still bruised but healing nicely
pink hole was starting to look better now. I took my finger and started
feeling around it taking advantage of the gift he was showing me. I glanced
down between his legs and took note of his two small balls in their sack
hanging effortlessly between his legs and went back to his hole. Not
looking to play but wanting to I slowly started running my finger around
his butt and I asked him how it felt.

"Awesome!"

Was his reply. I kept going since I didn't see him pull his hands away from
his spread cheeks. It went from making sure he was healing properly to a
form of a butt massage in a matter of seconds. I wasn't sure whose cock was
growing faster as I took a peak between his legs and caught a glimpse of
his. I knew mine was hard now as I continued to check every inch between
his butt cheeks.

"That feels so kewl. Don't stop Tommy."

I did what I was told and ran my finger all around his hole and then down
to his hanging balls. I cupped them causing him to jump a bit and gasp. My
own cock was now begging to be let out but my hands were full and it was
going to have to wait for now. I began to play with his balls as I ran my
other finger continuously around his pretty pink hole. He was moaning some
now and starting to lose control of his arms and balance as the feeling
appeared to intensify with every stroke to his balls and butt. I left his
balls and found his hard cocklet and started to stroke it now the only
thing left was to stick a finger into his hole but after what he was just
through I wasn't about to go there. I just played with his soft tender area
around the hole and ran my fingers down through to his balls as I slowly
stroked his cock. Finally he let go of his butt cheeks and fell rolling
over. His face was beat red from lying in that position for so long. He
looked at me and then at his hard little cock and begged me with his eyes
to continue what I was doing to him. I think this was the first sexual
situation he ever had that he was able to enjoy. I took hold of his cock
again as he spread his legs wide for me and started to stroke him again. He
shut his eyes as I sped up the rhythm on him, his little tongue darted out
of his mouth and wet his lips and then he took a real sharp deep breath and
let out a moan as his eyes tightened shut. I was sure he was having a dry
orgasm. I let go of his hard three inches and just watched the awesome
sight in front of me as he slowly regained himself and came down off of
what was probably the best orgasm of his young life so far. I highly doubt
he enjoyed any of the torture they put him through as they assaulted him
over and over. Those rat bastards! Shortly after he opened his eyes.

"How was it?"

He took a deep breath.

"Unreal! I never felt anything like that before. Even when I play with
myself I never had a feeling like that. Thank you so much Tommy for doing
that to me."

He sat up and gave me a hug.

"Your welcome my friend. I enjoyed it too."

 I pointed at the tent in my shorts. He smiled and reached out to feel it
and grabbed the head of my cock with just his thumb and pointer and started
lightly massaging it sending a shockwave up to my brain as he rubbed my
cockhead threw my shorts.

"Ahhhhh, that felt good Shawn."

As I yelled he jumped back releasing his hand from my cock.

"Don't jump kid its okay it felt great."

"Well you yelled and I thought I hurt you."

"Not even close. It felt awesome!"

"Can I see it Tommy?"

I was hoping he would ask that. I hadn't cum in almost two days now since
he got hurt and was sleeping here with me. I didn't do anything in the
shower and I was soooo ready to blow my wad somewhere.

"Sure just pull down my shorts and then carefully pull off my boxers. I
have a stiffie so I don't want you yanking hard or it will hurt."

"Okay I understand."

He pulled down and then off my shorts and I tented out through my boxers
and his eyes widened as he saw that.

"Boy your big!"

It was apparent he hadn't seen much cock. He will now! He took hold of the
bottom of my boxers and slowly and quite reluctantly started to tug on
them.

"Go ahead it won't bite you. It spits but not until you rub it first."

He laughed at that. A cute adorable laugh, that just made my heart melt. He
tugged A bit harder and down came my boxers exposing all of my rock hard
six inches to him.

"WOW, he exclaimed! You're huge."

Not as huge as I wanted to be but I suppose to a nine year old it was
pretty big. I didn't say anything as he reached out for it and touched
it. He quickly pulled away and appeared to suddenly become embarrassed at
what he was doing.

"It's okay Shawn. You don't have to do anything unless you want to. You're
not hurting me."

Again he reached out and took hold of me. My cock jumped as he grabbed
it. He was very gentle as he took hold of it not knowing what to do with
it.

"Start stroking it like I did to yours."

Slowly he started to rub up and down the entire length of my cock. He
focused on the head for a while and played with my piss hole. Apparently he
was quite interested in that for some reason as I watched him explore
me. Finally he started to stroke me again and it felt good. He seemed to be
getting the hang of it. I was beginning to get close to cumming after all
the foreplay and not blowing a load in a day or so.

"I am gonna cum soon Shawn. You know what I mean?"

I took a deep breath as he kept jerking me off.

"Yes I do all white stuff is gonna come out right?"

"Yes a whole lot so I will warn you again when I am ready then after I
shoot my first load I want you to let go so I can enjoy my orgasm like I
did to you okay?"

"Sure I got ya."

He started going faster now and I felt a little burn as he took a tighter
grip. I yelled.

"Loose it up your hurting me!"

He totally stopped stroking me.

"No, no, its okay you were just holding too tight and it started to burn."

I also started to lose my feeling to cum too but I am sure it will be right
back when he continues again. He grabbed me again and started stroking like
before quicker but not too hard. The whole time he never once touched
anything but my cock. I so wanted him to play with my balls but I guess he
needs to learn what feels good while giving someone a jerk off. It wasn't
long before I was close again and I put my head back on the pillow now as
the feeling grew.

"Okay Shawn its gonna happen real soon so when I say let go do it and you
shouldn't get too messy."

"Okay."

A few more strokes and I felt that awesome feeling start to shoot up my
back and to the top of my head and I was ready! The first shot flew out
going who knows where as I yelled to Shawn to let go. I arched my back as
the second shot flew out of my cock and the orgasm began to
intensify. Shawn let go immediately as I let fly a few more shots of less
cum. And then I melted into the pillow as the full orgasm took hold of
me. He did great and I felt like passing out from the job he did. I lay
there motionless for a while and he spoke. I opened my eyes for the first
time in a few minutes. Took a good look at him and started to laugh. He
didn't move fast enough and I assume the first shot I blew must have hit
him full force in the face. I wasn't paying attention so I didn't know till
now. His face was full of cum!

"Oh Shawn I am so sorry you got it all over you."

"That's okay; I mean it won't hurt me right?"

I smiled at him.

"No it won't hurt you at all."

I grabbed my boxers and sat up then I wiped off some of the jizz that was
all over his cute face.

"I think we both need a shower pal. Want to share one with me?"

"Sure that sounds great."

I didn't give much thought to where anyone else was in the house until it
was time to leave my room. Then I suddenly realized that we could have
company and I slowly opened the bedroom door. The coast was clear. So both
of us ran totally naked out of my room a short way into the bathroom. I
shut the door and started the shower. We both jumped in together and
shortly after we were washed clean of all the cum and sweat from the
fantastic sex that we just had. We got out I handed him a towel and I took
one as we both dried off. I checked to see if all was clear and told him I
was going to my room and to follow in a few seconds. I wrapped the towel
around myself and hurried to my room. I knew I wasn't fooling anyone that
was still in the house but I just wanted to do it this way. As soon as I
got in the bedroom he followed. I shut the door and we both finished drying
off in my room. I felt refreshed and fantastic after our little play
fest. Now to dress and head down to the others. Shortly after I was dressed
I told Shawn to take his time and then come down. Also that we weren't
trying to fool anyone with what just happened just trying to keep it
private and personal. He got my point making it easier that way rather then
trying to explain to him that what we just did wasn't the right thing to do
just now. I headed down and Jon was still at the breakfast table with Danny
just talking it appeared. Christian was off somewhere I guessed. I decided
to play it calm for now.

"John, Dan. What's going on?"

"Danny was just telling me the ultimatum you gave him last night."

"Okay I guess you can call it that. Did he tell you why I gave it?"

"No, not yet I was waiting to hear why. He was getting to that now I think
but you came down, besides I expected you to tell me first but it doesn't
matter anymore since we are talking about it now."

I looked at Danny and he bowed his head.

"Why can't you look at me my friend? Go on Dan tell Jon why I told you to
get out of my house last night. Tell him what you fear I might do to your
little brother!"

He didn't say anything. However Jon certainly had a startled look on his
face after my comment. We looked at Danny and thought I saw tears falling
from his face but with his head down I wasn't sure. I moved closer to the
table and sat across from both of them. It sure looked like he was
crying. Jon spoke.

"So what happened Danny? I know Tommy wouldn't ask you to leave just
because he suddenly hates you. Matter of fact I know he likes you a whole
lot, or did."

He remained silent. I looked at Jon and we sat and waited for a moment not
wanting to add more pressure on top of what already happened, well that was
my thinking anyway. Finally after a long minute Danny picked up his head
and with his tear stained cheeks he tried to form the words. I felt sad to
do this to him especially at his age but not as mad as he made me feel last
night.

"SO?" I said.

"I told him... his voice quivering from crying. That I was afraid he would
touch my brother if..." his voice trailed off again.

"He told me that he pretty much was afraid I might play with his brother
sexually. I blurted out to Jon. I was kidding with him when he was drying
off Chris and I told him to drop the towel so I could see. Next thing I
knew he did it and I wasn't expecting it because I thought he would be
totally protective of his little brother. I told him I was kidding and then
I said that if anyone ever considered touching him I would kick their ass
out of the house right away. His words cut me to the bone Jon and hurt me
more then anything has in a while."

I had Jon's full attention now and Danny was still sobbing and put his head
back down.

"So he turns to me and just says that the only one he is worried about
touching his little brother is me. FUCKING ME!! I was not only shocked I
was so hurt I couldn't even begin to tell you the emotions that totally
fucking floored me! I just went to my room and CRIED from the pain he
caused me."

Jon had a look of disgust or maybe shock, on his face I wasn't sure and
Danny started bawling out loud after I yelled my final part of the story to
him.

"Well Tom I can't blame you for being upset but..." he stopped what he was
going to say. I had a feeling I knew what he was thinking but I sure was
hoping it wasn't the same as Danny was thinking last night.

"But what Jon?"

"Well I know you pretty good and I wouldn't think you would ever go after a
seven year old. NEVER, honestly Tom! But look at it from Danny's point of
view. He loses his parents, moves into what he thinks is a trusting place
then gets finger fucked by you for being bad or a wise ass however you want
to label it then he finds his brother and just wants to make sure you
understand he wants to keep him safe now that he is alive. Danny lifted his
head as Jon stood up for him. Now I agree that what he said is wrong and I
am totally with you in what you want to do in your house for him hurting
you so badly. But Tom from my point of view I can't totally blame the
kid. Sure he is eleven years old and is probably fucked up over all this
but think about it Tom, you want to tell him now on top of all that to get
out. Take his little brother that he just found and go home and care for
him alone? The kid is 11 Tom... he can barely care for himself. Now it's up
to you. Punish the boy for being stupid and having a big mouth but throwing
him out with a little boy to care for is way too harsh even under these
circumstances."

He looked at me and then at Danny. Then Danny got up and came over to me he
sat next to me with the tears running from his eyes he looked into mine. I
had a lump in my throat. Somehow this had been turned around on me
now. Jon's words were true and well spoken. But it didn't make up for what
happened. He wasn't there!

"I am so sorry about what I said to you last night Tommy.  Jon is right and
I can't thank him enough for trying to help. I didn't sleep last night. I
wondered how I was going to live alone with Chris try to raise him with no
help in that house. All that I kept thinking of was what I said to you, the
look on your face!  I saw how fast your face changed to hurt. I didn't
think I just said it because of what I saw so far from living here. I was
scared last night Tommy. Scared for me and for my brother. I am even more
scared now knowing I have to leave. All I did last night was think about
what I would do if he got sick how I would take care of him or who would if
I got sick. I thought like an adult while I lay in bed last night but all I
am is a kid Tom. I look up to you like a big brother in some way... like it
or not... because you are the oldest. You know more then I do. It might not
all be right but I know living here I would be safe, my brother would be
too and most of all I would have someone to help me learn and teach my
brother how to grow up. I understand I was wrong and I will leave if you
want me too."

Again he started crying. It was pretty sad that anyone should have to worry
about shit like this and as mad as I was I reached out and took hold of
him. He leaned over to me and put his head on my shoulder then he buried
his face into my shoulder and started crying again.

"Please don't make us leave Tommy. I am so sorry."

His crying continued and Christian came in and got pretty upset that his
big brother was crying and started too. I looked at Jon and he got the idea
and went to Chris to calm him.

"Take him in the other room. Tell him it will be okay and Danny will be in
shortly to see him."

"Okay Tommy."

Then I pulled Danny away and looked him in the eyes. I was really lost as
to what I wanted to say. I mean I knew what I wanted to say but why I
didn't I will never know.

"Okay Dan, lets get something straight right now. You hurt me pretty bad
last night and what I told you was the only thing I could think of to get
even. I can't make you leave because if anything happened to you or Chris I
could never live with myself knowing it was my fault. BUT, if you ever
doubt me again when it comes to your brother and me ever hurting him I will
throw you out so fast all the crying in the world won't help. I WILL NEVER
touch that boy and Jon made a very good point with what he said. I am sorry
I let my power go to my head and I hurt you with the finger up your ass but
I am not sorry for all the sex and stuff that went on with everyone. That
was something I wanted and I am not really ashamed of. Now if you stay
there are three things you have to agree to. Okay?"

He nodded yes.

"First I will never ever hurt Chris but I will not stop doing what I enjoy
under this roof. So I will try to keep it away from him but I will not be
responsible if he sees me or anyone naked in this house. That is just how
it is I am sure it won't scar him if he does see a six inch cock. Second,
you are not obligated to have sex with me just like you weren't before. But
if you're not going to be involved then you can't be around watching nor
can Chris. So take him down here if it's going on until we are done. And
the last thing is this: I still care a lot about you! This will pass
eventually and things will get back to normal, whatever normal is. But I am
not Chris' babysitter and neither is Jon. Occasionally I will help out if
you need some guidance with Chris or if you need a break that is fine. But
I don't expect you to just take off and think we will baby sit. I can't
speak for Jon you have to ask him yourself but I will not be responsible
for him just because you feel like taking off without telling anyone. If
you do that I will fan your ass red just like I would expect your dad to do
if he had you watching him and you ran off without a word. Also I don't
want to be responsible for punishing him or you but if I have to I will. He
is your responsibility and if he needs to be sent to his room that's your
job. If he doesn't listen to you then I will step in just as I would if you
didn't listen. You understand this?"

"Yes sir. I do. Thank you for a second chance. I am really sorry for what I
said last night I didn't mean it the way it came out. But you did tease me
and I was being protective of my brother so you have to understand that I
want him to have some kind of normal life now too."

"Normal? Danny there is nothing normal left here now. The only thing normal
is the sun rising and setting every day. The rest is totally fucked up in
more ways then any of us can count! All we can do is adjust to it and hope
it gets better day by day!"

He just looked at me not knowing what to say next.

"So what is my punishment for hurting you last night?"

"Well the old me would have probably bent you over the table and fucked
your ass till you cried but that isn't right or fair especially with your
younger brother around. So I will let you decide how you will be punished
for running your mouth at me and making me feel like shit last night. Think
it over and let me know what you decide in a little while."

"Okay, that sounds fair enough."

We were both standing now. I walked up to him really close.

"Danny, I cared a whole lot about you before last night. Matter of fact I
was probably close to saying I love you dearly as a friend but that changed
now. I am not saying I can't feel that way again someday but right now we
need to take it slow and rebuild our friendship again. Okay?"

"Yes it is."

He reached out and gave me another hug and as he pulled away I got to see
that cute face that I was used to a day ago, it almost felt right again but
it will take time to heal from this. I am sure I will, but not right
now. Maybe tomorrow or next week but just not right now.

"Okay go find your brother and make sure he is okay I am sure Jon did his
best to calm him I don't hear crying now."

He took off and right after that Jon came in and over to me. Shawn was
downstairs now and took in most if not all of this in from across the
room. I will talk to him about it later but right now I need to talk to the
smartest boy in the room.

"Come here cute boy! He walked over to me. Did I ever tell you how smart
you can be at times? I reached out and grabbed him and brought him in for a
hug. When we broke the embrace I gave him a kiss on the lips. Thanks for
making me see it from his eyes Jonny. You did good!"

"No thank you for listening to me and making the right decision. I think
you already knew that he couldn't live on his own but the pain just made
you fight back the only way you knew how to."

"Smart I say you're a real smarty pants! Think I will keep you around for a
bit okay? Besides the fact that you're cute and I want to eat you up!"

He smiled. "Maybe later okay?"

"Maybe?"

He went to do something and I walked over to Shawn.

"Some show, huh?"

"Yeah I think so. I am glad I didn't have that happen to me."

"Shawnie, you had worse my friend. You were hurt way worse then words can
hurt anyone so don't think for a second you saw something worse. Not even
close my cutie not even close to what you went through!"

I gave him a hug and kiss on top of his head.

"Love ya lots ya know."

"I know Tom. Love you too!"

"Why don't you go ask Jon about his pool before he disappears? Maybe I'll
join you. I could use some rest and a swim sounds good now."

"Right!"

 He ran out after Jon and about a minute later he came back in to me.

"Jon said its fine but the pool just might need a cleaning first."

"Well let's go clean it, whatta ya say?"

"I say awesome, I am going to change right now."

"Me too, I am coming up with you and we can go over to the pool together."

We ran up together and changed. I grabbed two towels and we headed over
towards Jon's pool.
