Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 07:47:07 +0000 From: Tommy Evans Subject: Uriel and Jon Chapter 1 It all started on the summer after my 17th birthday. I had just gotten out of 11th grade. My name is Aaron. I'm not really good looking, well at least I don't think I am. i'm a little overweight, although i'm not fat, I know I am not in the best shape I could be in. I am pretty tall, about 5 feet 8 inches or maybe 9. Well anyway, I live a normal life, well close to normal life. I go to school and have friends. although not many, I have friends. actually they are schoolmates, I never really tell them anything. My real friends have always been Ale, Jesse, and Uriel. I have known them forever. Anyway, this summer was going to suck. my 2 best friends, Uriel and Jesse were going to go away for a whole month, at least I thought so. They were going to go to Mexico with their family. Well Uriel and Jesse left for Mexico about a week after school ended. I was pretty sad. I really didn't' know who to hang out with. Now, Uriel and I have had a really weird yet cool relationship. Uriel is 12 years old and I have known him since he was 7. When Uriel turned 10, I kind of started to take a liking to him. he was very cute, still is. Uriel and I never really told each other much. we just became good friends because he is my best friend's (Jesse's) brother. Well as soon as Uriel turned 10, him and me began to hang out a lot. I mean a lot. we would go everywhere together. Back then he was short, well normal size for a 10-year-old. he has hazel eyes and brown hair. I've always liked his eyes. anyway, little by little I began to fall in love with Uriel. At nights when he spends the night at my house, I would always try to hug him and sleep as close to him as I could. I was happy by just holding him close to me. So that went on for a long time. just having him with me made me happy. When Uriel turned 11 our friendship evolved. We began to notice that neither of us liked it when we had other friends that were really close. Whenever I had a close friend, Uriel would backfire by getting another friend to make me jealous. Well, then my best friend Ale, who is a girl, and is my age, noticed that Uriel and me would look at each other too much. She also said that we would always try to like play hard to get around each other. Like for example, if I was busy with someone else, he'd pretend to be busy or actually get busy just to make me feel like he didn't' need me. She also mentioned that we acted alike too much and that we were always near each other. We tended to be really close and like we'd hug and play fight all the time. This was starting to creep out Ale. I never really noticed this so from then on, whenever things got a little odd between me and Uriel I tried to give him some space and maybe even try to forget what I felt for him. I mean whenever I didn't have him with me I thought about him 24/7. Well, that kept going on until this summer. "That" would be Uriel and I being good friends for a while.. then when something made him mad I would give him his space and he would eventually come back to me and he'd be like new. Before Uriel left, I met a beautiful girl who became my gf. He was kind of mad at me but I couldn't really ask him anything since I didn't know if he felt anything for me. I just wanted to forget the love I had for him and like him like a brother. Well, as soon as Uriel left for Mexico, I was ready to die. I knew I would be very sad and depressed for the next month because I wouldn't' spend it with him. I live in a boring neighborhood where it's really quiet. I am probably the only 17-year-old around. Two days after Uriel left to Mexico I was outside mowing the lawn when a boy passed by me. it was my backdoor neighbor. I had never really noticed him. He was pretty cute. the most I knew about him is that he is probably in 5th grade. I said hi to him because he waved hi to me. he was cute. very cute. almost like Uriel. I forget about him and got back to mowing the lawn. I finished right before it was time for dinner. so I went inside and took a quick shower. after I had dinner I went outside to kick my soccer ball around. I was in my backyard when the kid pops up again and says hi. "Don't you get bored of playing by yourself?" he asked. "Umm... no not really" I answered. the kid was tiny compared to me. my guess was that he was probably about 10 or 11. I didn't really want to show him that I needed company... especially since he's just a little boy. "I'm Jon" "I'm Aaron" "So...aaron, how come you don't go out with your friends or something, I always see you at your house alone" "Umm....Jon....are you spying on me?" The last thing I wanted right now was a 10 year old nosy kid. I mean I was mad enough since Uriel was gone and I didn't even know this kid. "No...but anyway I gotta go eat, see ya around Aaron" The kid left to his house through his backyard. I stood there to think about how mean I must have seemed to the kid. I had my dinner that night looking out into the yard to see if I could catch another glimpse of the kid. I didn't really know why I wanted to see the kid, ,, I mean I didn't really like him. I didn't' think so at least... but I knew a little company wouldn't hurt. anyway I didn't see that boy that day anymore. the next morning I woke up to the sound of kids playing outside... that sound reminded me of Uriel so much.. I got depressed. my dad was asleep as usual since he gets home late from work... I needed to go check the mail to see if my long awaited package had arrived...but it hadn't. when I was going to go back inside I heard someone call my name.. it was the boy.. "Hey Aaron waz up!" "Umm nothing" "Why don't you ever go outside?" "because I don't play anymore Jon" "why not" "well...... let me see... how old are you kid" "I'm 10" "Okay.. well i'm 17... i'm too old to play" "No one is ever too old to play" "umm.. I am" "O come on Aaron,, don't' be a lame-o" "Kid I don't even know you!" "So.. what.. I know you. You're Ryan's uncle... aren't you?" "Uh... yeah...you know him?" "Yeah he goes to school with me.. he's like my best bud" "That's nice... so how exactly do you know me?" "Well... I've been to your house before. you just never paid any attention... and Ryan talks about you" Ryan is my annoying nephew. he's 10 and he usually comes to my house about 5 times a week. He likes to hang out with me because his brother doesn't let him play anything at his house. Plus all of his friends live close to me so when he comes to my house he gets to hang out with all of his friends. "Anyway... I was wondering... is Ryan coming over today?" "Not that I know of. why?" "I dunno.. i'm bored. I wanted to play with him" "We'll he's not here" When I said that I realized how mean I was sounding. I know that when I was 10 I never really liked the way teenagers talked to me. I felt like they always wanted to make me feel unimportant and scared. "Well tell you what Jon...when he comes to my house I'll tell him to go over to your house so you can play together... how does that sound?" "Umm.. why are you talking to me like i'm a little kid?" "Because maybe you are a little kid... have you seen yourself in the mirror lately?" "well yeah... but I mean i'm not that little" "trust me kid.. from up here.. you're tiny" Jon just giggled and looked at me funny. "What?" "Nothing,, it was funny..." "Well.. I can be funny at times" "And then you're mean some other times" "really.. you think so?" "Well.. I mean sometimes you do get mad at Ryan. well not sometimes.. all the time... and then you were kind of mean yesterday " "O i'm sorry. i'm just not a very... happy person right now" I sat down on the stairs by the patio.. and Jon did too. I felt weird. he just sat next to me and he didn't know me. "What... I can't sit here?" "No.. It's okay. I was just thinking of something..." "What were you thinking about?" "Nothing" "Cool" "Cool" So I sat there thinking about what Uriel would think if he saw me talking to a kid that is 7 years younger than me and 2 years younger than Uriel. he'd probably be a little mad at me at the moment. I snapped back to reality and I noticed Jon was just looking at the sky just like I was. "What are you looking at?" I asked "I was trying to find whatever you were looking at" I laughed. I mean that was pretty funny. "cool I made you laugh" "Yeah... I guess you did" When I thought about it.. I realized I didn't even know the kid for 2 days and we were already talking away like if we were friends for a long time. and he is 10 .. what the hell was I thinking. I just felt weird sitting here next to him. "Aaron,, you think of things too much. why don't you play something" "What can I play. i'm too old to play" "No you're not. Ryan tells me you have cool games and a cool TV. why don't you play that" "Because I get bored of playing a lone" "Ahh.. well why don't you have some friends come play with you?" "Because I don't have any" "You don't have any friends?" "Well I do.. but they are far away" "Far away?" Jon looked at me and he looked confused. "oh.. they're in Mexico right now. they went down there for a month" "That sucks." "Yeah it does" I agreed. Then I thought of something. I probably wouldn't have said this if Uriel wasn't in Mexico. "Jon... do you want to go play inside?" "Umm..... I do but I don't know if my mom will let me" "What do you mean..... ? "Well I told her I was going to be gone for 10 minutes and I've been gone for half an hour" "what were you doing?" "first I went around the block and then I sat here with you" "and that took half an hour?" "yeah..." "oh.. well its okay if you can't" Yeah I mean what was I thinking.. playing with a 10 year old? next thing I know and people will be calling me Jacko the second. "Here... wait for me and I'll go ask my mom okay?" He didn't even give me enough time to answer. he just got up and ran. so I guess I had to wait for him. it would suck if he came back and I was gone. I'd feel really bad if i was him and that happened to me. He came back in like 10 minutes. he looked tired. he probably ran the whole way back. "My mom said I can play for 2 hours and then I gotta go home" "Well that's more than enough time." "really? when I play with my friends we play for a LONG time.. I mean long time" "What do you play?" "Video games" "I know but what games?" "Dragon ball z....Grand Theft Auto....X-Men" "Cool.. I played the last two.. I don't really play DBZ" "That's cool I guess." "How come you say cool a lot?" "Because you say it" "So you copy me?" "Yeah.. you're cool. you're 17" "And that makes me cool?" "No not really.... you're cool because.. you're nice.. and well cool" "Nice explanation" "thanks" "any time" This kid really made me feel like everything was actually okay. I mean he keeps saying i'm a cool person. and nice. when i'm not really either of the two. I mean I CAN be nice and cool.. but usually i'm a jerk. unless i'm with Jesse or Uriel. then i'm the real me. then i'm funny, witty, and nice. when i'm with other people I tend to look down to them. I know it's a bad habit.. but it's my own self defense mechanism so that i don't find any friends better than Uriel and Jesse. Anyway I opened the door and we headed inside to chill and play games.. when he got inside he looked around just like any little kid would. kind of to check out the place and see if he felt comfortable. I guess he did because he seemed very happy. We got to my play room and we sat down on the floor and I pulled out some beanbag chairs. We started playing all of the games and we started talking about the games and about ourselves. mostly about the games though. but the coolest thing was that we were both laughing a lot. I mean a lot. I was having the greatest time of my life. I mean I hadn't had this much fun in months. even though I like hanging out with Uriel it's not the same thing anymore. it seems like we lost that magic we used have together. it's like we have fun.. but I try so hard to make Uriel happy that sometimes I forget to be happy myself.. I know it sounds cheesy but its true. Most of the time when I'm with Uriel I'm making sure he's having a great time so that he doesn't get mad at me for wasting his time. Even though he keeps telling me he enjoys being with me.most of the time.. I still can't stop trying to make it better for him. But enough about Uriel, Uriel is gone. He's in Mexico having fun, he probably doesn't even remember me at the moment. Jon and I kept playing and playing and laughing and laughing. It seemed like we would play forever. "Umm.. Jon, it's like 9 o clock at night" "oh. umm. I guess I should get home or else my mom is going to get mad at me and she won't let me play anymore" "Yeah, you wouldn't want to be stuck inside while you could be playing with your friends huh?" "No. I want to hang out with you tomorrow. Not my other friends. Besides. Ryan might be here tomorrow right?" "Umm. yeah maybe" I knew I was lying but I didn't want the kid to never come back. I actually had fun and I wasn't about to lose the kid so fast. Well not that I was too close to the kid anyway. He got up. "So I guess I'll see you later Aaron" "Yeah. I guess" I wasn't too happy because I didn't like to say bye. I never like to say bye. Even if Jon lives like 2 seconds away from me. I don't like the feeling I get when someone I have fun with leaves. It's like a sudden rush of loneliness. We walked to the front door where Jon put his shoes on and he got ready to go. I just stared at him because I was stunned at how close we had gotten in just one day of hanging out. He walked out the door and looked at me. "So I'll see you tomorrow, right?" He asked. "Sure...if you want to hang out I guess" "Okay bye" As he walked off to his house I couldn't help but to imagine Uriel. I Kept seeing Uriel in Jon. I mean it's not that they look alike. They don't even look within a mile alike. But I guess it's the feeling I get when I'm with them. It's so different yet so alike. Uriel is more demanding and a lot less sweet. Jon seems to be more sweet and more "hug-able" I guess. Jon is the kind of kid you just want to hug because they are so nice. I went back inside to take a shower and get ready for bed. In my shower I couldn't help but think about what Jon could be doing at his house at that very moment. So as soon as I got out of the shower and I changed into my PJs I looked out my bedroom window, I had a clear view of Jon's room from there. Though it was pretty far, I used my binoculars to see. The lights were on and I could see a TV turned on. The room kept flickering and the room kept changing color so I guessed Jon was playing some kind of game. Then I had a crazy idea. I got out a laser from my drawer and aimed it right at Jon's room. I kept flashing it and moving it around. After about 2 minutes I saw the curtains move and Jon could be seen in the window. I waived hi. He instantly waived hi back and he kept moving his hands. I don't know what he was saying. Either way I waived bye this time and so did he. I turned my TV on and I soon drifted off to sleep. The next morning I woke up to my doorbell ringing. Since I was home alone I had to get up. It was probably some annoying salesperson or maybe a kid selling something. Worse comes to worse and it's a visitor who forgot it was a Monday and my parents worked. So I miraculously got out of bed and walked my lazy ass up to the door. When I opened I nearly fell. "JON! What are you doing here so early?" "What. 11 am is early for you?" "Uhhh. it isn't to you?" Then I remembered that when I was 10 I was usually up at least by 10.. kind of funny huh? "Not really. I've been up for hours." "Doing what?" "Watching TV. waiting for you to get up" "Oh. well are you going to stand there all day?" "No.. but as soon as you move out of the way I'll go in" So I moved and he walked in. He knew the deal. He took of his shoes. made sure he wasn't dirty.and then walked up with me to my room. He looked at me and then stood there. "I'm sorry Jon I'm so tired." "It's okay.. my friend says teenagers are always tired" "Why does your friend say that?" "He has 3 older brothers" I jumped right back into my bed. He looked at me funny. "And you don't have any older brothers Jon?" "No. I'm the oldest." It must suck for Jon. I mean no one to push him around, no one to ask questions to. and most importantly. no one to give you rides and money and games. "Well if you let me I'll be your older brother" I mean how hard could it be. I'm already Uriel's older brother and he already has a real older brother. "I guess" "So are you going to lay there all day?" "It's lie" "What?" "Nothing.never mind. And yes.. I am until I get enough energy to get up" "Okay" He said. Then he just jumped right into bed. "Okay.. I guess you could always do that" "Well. if you're going to be all warm and lazy then I will too" "Cool" "Cool" I put my arm around him just like I would to Uriel when we were in bed. I didn't even think about it. Then when I had it there I realized that maybe Jon wouldn't like that and like would freak out probably. But he didn't he just lied there with me and looked at the ceiling. "What are you looking at?" I asked. "Nothing. your sky" "My sky?" "Yes. your planets and stars. Are there supposed to be letters up there or did they just happen to look like letters after you put them up?" "Oh those are the names of my close friends. Well two of those. one of them should be taken down." "Which one?" "Well the GJ" "Why?" "Well because I thought he was my friend but he moved away and I never talk to him so it's not like we're really close friends anymore" "And the JA and UA are still your friends?" "Yeah. Jesse and Uriel" "That's so cool" "I wish my room had stuff like yours" "Well it's easy. Just get the stars and planets and have your parents help you put them up" "Or you could help me right?" I kind of hesitated to answer him because we really don't know each other but I guess I could help him. "Yeah. I guess I could" "Aaron?" "What?" "How come your arm is like hugging me?" "I don't know how it got there I swear.." He giggled and then he just put his arm right on top of mine. "Why? Does it bother you?" I asked him. "No. it's just that it makes me feel weird" "Bad weird? Or Good weird?" "Good weird I guess" "I can take it off if you want me to it's not that big of a deal" "Oh no it makes me feel warm and cozy" So we just laid there together talking about mostly anything that came to our minds. Cars, toys, TV, games, movies, and what his plans were for the summer. I accidentally touched his hand because his arm was right on mine and it gave a really warm feeling. I can't describe it. But he didn't pull his hand away instantly it just twitched. Then he looked right at me. "Aaron. what are we doing today?" "Jon. I have no idea. Come on help me make my bed and then we'll see what we can do" So we did my bed. It took us longer than it would have taken me because he kept joking around and falling into the bed while I was trying to put the covers on. It was rather fun. I could say I had never had this much fun doing my bed in the mornings. I'm not a morning person. "Okay so we're done doing your bed. what do we do now?" "Whatever you want to do kid" "Okay. let's play a video game" "Let's play then" We played video games for a while. We played until my friend that hadn't talked to me for a very long time called me. "Hey waz up big A" "Hey Graham" "Dude I'm so sorry I haven't called. I had lost your number but I just came back to my moms house for a few weeks and I found it again." "That's cool" "Are you okay? You sound mad" "No. I'm just playing a game" "You never change. You know you're older now. You should do things older people do" "Like what?" "I don't know get. drunk. get laid. stuff like that" "You are funny. very funny.I mean I just heard Graham talk about getting drunk and laid" "Shut up. I am 16 now. O wow you're 16 years old. I'm 17 and I don't act like that" "Anyway I was wondering what you're doing tonight. You know maybe we could get together and watch a movie and maybe even play a game" "Sure I guess. Its been so long though. I don't know if I can still hang out with you. You could have changed" "Okay so I'll meet you at your house around 8 alright?" "Alright. Bye" I felt weird after that call. I mean Graham basically stopped talking to me after he moved away. It must have been 6 months. That's too much. "Who was that?" Jon was asking me because I probably looked worried or annoyed either one. "Just an old friend who wants to hang out with me tonight" "Is he your age?" "Yeah I guess he is" "Aaron can I ask you a question?" "Sure bro" "How come you don't hang out with other kids your age. I always see you alone at your house" "Well buddy that's because you always see me when I'm alone. I do hang out with kids my age I guess. But when I'm not with them I'm at home chilling you know. Just watching TV or playing a game. I don't always go out I guess" "Do you like hanging out with me?" "Umm. I dunno. maybe" Jon just gave me a very confused face. Like he had done something wrong. "Of course I do you're my little bro" At that moment I pulled him to me and gave him some kind of hug. It wasn't really a hug but it was something like it. I didn't even realize I was hugging him. He hugged me back and I felt what a real hug felt like I guess. I felt warm and I felt like I never wanted to let go of him. I hadn't really been hugged in a while because well. I'm a big boy now and I guess I'm not supposed to get hugs. The hugs girls give me aren't the same. I mean they are just hugs to keep me busy and keep me thinking they want me and stuff. They don't really mean anything. "Okay so want to watch TV now?" I asked him. I felt like just sitting down in my couch with a cup of cereal and watching TV. I don't know why. I guess I just get these feelings or I could say desires every once in a while. "Yeah, if you want to. I'm getting bored of the game anyway" So we went downstairs and prepared ourselves whatever mixture of cereals we wanted. I made myself some frosted flakes with cocoa puffs and Reese's pieces or whatever that peanut butter cereal is called. Then we sat on the couch and watched whatever was on TV. There wasn't much on TV at this time, just stupid cartoons and lame shows. That's what sucked about TV during summer. There is never anything good on TV until later in the day. We talked and stuff. Little by little I realized Jon and I were getting closer and closer until our bodies couldn't go any closer. It felt warm to be next to Jon. I really liked the feeling of being this close to him. I still didn't understand why I was getting all these weird feelings with this little kid. I almost felt dirty when I thought about how much I enjoyed being with him. "So Aaron what are you going to do with your friend?" "I have no clue. Probably just watch a movie and play a game. Its what we always do. Sometimes we watch TV or talk about things." "Cool. I wonder what we could do if I ever slept over" "That would be fun I guess. We'd watch TV and play games all night." "And we could go online and look at funny stuff. It's funny to go to those stupid joke places and read jokes. We could read scary stories and stuff" We were having a lot of fun planning this imaginary sleep over. Come to think of it, I hadn't thought about what it would be like if Jon actually slept over one of these days. I mean I've only known him for a short period of time. "Aaron, who do you like to hang out with better?" "What do you mean?" "I mean in your room there's pictures. Is that your friend that's coming over in your pictures?" "Which pictures?" "The one next to your bed" "Oh... no that's Uriel and my best friend Jesse" "In your photo albums there's lots of pictures of you and this kid" "O it must be Uriel. Wait. You looked through my album?" "Well yeah. You were in the bathroom so I just found it" "It's just Uriel. He's like my second best friend. We hang out and stuff. At least we used to" "You don't anymore?" "Well...he went on vacation to Mexico. But even before he left we didn't hang out that much. There's just something wrong. I don't know what" "That's sucks. I don't know why he doesn't like to hang out with you. You are like the coolest person I know" "Thanks I guess. So why don't you hang out with the other kids on the block?" "Well I do. But when I come here I get to see Ryan. And I guess now I like hanging out with you" So we kept watching TV and laughing and talking. We did this until I became extremely hungry. Now the neighborhood I live in is near everything. The movie theater, fast food places, stores, restaurants, I mean everything. I had just gotten my license a couple of months before and I've always had a debit card that my dad gave me a while ago. So I said well why not take the kid out to eat. "Hey Jon" "Hmm" he answered me. He was watching this show on TV so he wasn't really paying attention. "How about we go eat somewhere" "Like where?" "What do you like?" "I like Portillos" "Want to go there?" "Sure, but how?" "I do drive. And I do have a car you know" "YOU DO! That is so awesome! Why didn't you tell me?" "You didn't ask" "Sure let's go." So we got up and I went to change my shirt and do my hair. He followed me of course. I looked at him and I realized the kid hardly ever did his hair. He always had a cap on. "Hey Jon why don't I do your hair?" " I don't like it." He answered. So I gave it up and we went out to the garage. I had never really used my car for anything. Just going to the store and going to Jesse's house to hang out with Uriel. "Woah! You have a Mustang?" "Yeah. like it" I have to admit my dad was cool when he bought me my 04 Mustang GT. It was pretty dope. It was a convertible and it was my favorite color, in cars that is, blue. "Man Aaron you are so lucky. My cousin has one like this but it's much older. Yours looks brand new." "Umm. well it looks much better when you're in it you know. Hurry up and get in." So we got in the car and I had to put the top down to please the overjoyed Jon. He was so excited about being in my car. He kept saying he couldn't believe it was my car. That's when I realized how lucky I was. All this time I was mad because I wanted a car like my dad has. I wanted a BMW. But come to think of it. how many teenagers who just started driving get a brand new Mustang? So I felt kind of thankful towards Jon. Because I mean his parents were just as wealthy as mine, but he still seemed to be a pretty down to earth kid. We drove to Portillos to get Jon a hot dog from there. He really liked hot dogs from Portillos he told me. On the way back from Portillos we stopped by Blockbuster to get a movie and a few games. He was really excited when i told him he could choose 3 games. "I never get to choose so many games when i'm with my parents. They only let me choose one." "Well then hurry up man we got to get home. Your mom could be worried because you haven't even gone back to check in and it has been like 3 hours." So he hurried up and picked up the games he wanted and then we went home. When i pulled into my driveway I realized i had left my phone in the car the whole time we were at blockbuster and my friend Graham had called and left me a message. "Hold on Jon, i got to check this message" Graham just wanted to let me know that he wouldn't be able to make it because his mom was taking him to a family get together somewhere out of town. I was pretty much used to him not showing up so it wasn't much of a shock. Besides I was kind of enjoying hanging around with Jon all this time. "So i guess we have more time to watch the movie and play games now" I told Jon. "Why?" "Because my friend says he won't be able to make it" "Well that's cool. Let me go ask my mom if i can stay longer and play" "Well why don't you just call her. You must get tired of walking all the way there and back" "It's not so far Aaron." "I know but it's just better okay. Saves time" "Alright I guess" So he called his mom and she said okay but that he had to come home around 7pm to have dinner. It was only around 2pm so we had enough time. We started playing the games first and then I realized we should watch the movie because if we didn't we wouldn't have enough time. My parents called me to tell me that they were going to be home late so to just go ahead and have dinner. By that they meant to order something or to go pick something up. I didn't really worry since i had just come back from Portillos. "Jon we should really start watching the movie or else we won't get a chance to finish it." "Yeah i guess you're right" I put the movie in and turned the sofa in the room into a bed. I had a room specially for watching movies and playing games so it was pretty cool. The movie started and I realized Jon was getting cold because all of a sudden he put his arms inside his shirt. "Are you cold?" i asked. "Umm a little" Everytime Uriel was cold i would hug him and get close to him because we were too lazy to actually get up and get a blanket. So i decided to just give it a try with Jon. I did feel a little weird because i didn't want Jon to like think i'm trying to do something to him. I just got closer to him and put my arm around his stomach. "Here, does that get you warm?" "Yeah" I was so relieved when he just let it go by and he actually moved in closer to me. I felt pretty good hugging him and making him warm. We watched most of the movie like that. I guess he got tired of being in the same position so he turned around and now i was completely behing him spooning him. I felt a little odd because i didn't want to get excited and scare him. But i was wearing jeans anyway and i could just say it was the zipper. I also felt really warm and comfortable because Jon was so perfect. He had the nicest butt and his stomach was just perfect... not fat but not skinny just normal. We stayed like that for the rest of the movie and then we started playing the games again. The problem was that it was like 5 and we only had two hours left to play. "Aaron, what if I just ask my mom if i can spend the night?" "Seriously? You want to spend the night?" "Yeah, it's really cool being with you and it's fun" "Sure, if you really say so. Okay then call her" So he dialed the number and he was asking her if he could spend the night. He kept saying 'why not?' and he had a shaky voice like he was about to cry. I felt really bad because somehow i wanted him to stay with me and spend the night. I mean i really wanted it. Then he just gave me the phone. "She wants to talk to you" "Hello" i answered. "Hi, this is Jon's mother. I just wanted to ask if it was okay with your mom" "O yeah my mom is okay with. Half the time my nephew is here and he stays over all the time" "Well... then i guess it's okay. But please have him home before 10 tomorrow morning." "Okay thanks alot Mrs..........Jon's mom" "Okay well good night and tell him to behave" "Woah dude your mom just said yes" i told Jon. "Really?" "Yeah" "Awesome! We're going to have so much fun" "I know" I was actually getting really happy with the news. I don't know why. We played the games all afternoon long. The whole time Jon was sitting right next to me and he sometimes put his foot right next to mine. I don't know why but that gave me a really nice feeling. I liked it when he was really close to me. It was also scaring me because he is so young. When we got hungry i just ordered pizza and we ate almost 2 whole pizzas.By the time we were really tired of playing it was like 11pm and i guess Jon was really tired. "Are you sleepy?" i asked him. "Well just a little. I'm kind of tired of playing. Want to watch TV now?" "Sure kid. Whatever you want" Since it was already late i decided to just watch TV in my room. So i told him to come with me to my room and we just sat on my bed to watch TV. "If you're really sleepy i could find you some shorts and a shirt to sleep in" i said. "Okay i guess" "So do you sleep over at your friend's house all the time?" i asked him while i was in my closet looking for something small enough for him. "Well... yeah every once in a while. Usually i have to like introduce the kid to my parents" "So then how come they let you stay with me tonight if they don't even know me?" "Because they know you are 17 and i told them about you and that you were Ryan's uncle. They also know your sister" "O well that makes some sense" i answered while i was checking some really old shorts that i used to let Uriel borrow for sleep overs. They weren't too small but they were the shorts i used in middle school for gym. The elastic kind of shorts that fit just about anyone. I handed them over to him with one of my really comfortable shirts i have. "Here... so you can sleep really comfortable" "Thanks...but do i really have to change?" "Well yeah come on. Don't tell me you're going to sleep in denim shorts and that heavy shirt?" "Well why not? Wait.. what's denim?" "It's the stuff your shorts are made of. And anyway its much more comfotable and you know it" "Okay i guess" he agreed and he got up to take the clothes out of my hand. He kind of looked at me weird. "What?" i asked. "Where do i change?" "Ummm...in the closet i guess." I didn't really know why kids were so embarrased. It's not like he wasn't wearing any underware. What's so hard about changing right there. I used to get really irritated when Uriel changed in he closet because we had both seen what we had and he was still hesitant towards changing in a room with me. But little by little he lost that habit. After he got through changing i just got up and changed right there in front of him. I mean i was wearing boxers like any teenager does and it's not like i'm naked. So i just got on some nice silky pj's and a nice loose shirt and i was ready for bed. "So Aaron, do you sleep over with Uriel a lot?" "Why are you so interested in Uriel all of a sudden? You don't even know the kid" "Well... i dunno. He must be really cool. You hang out with him so much and you like have a bunch of pictures of you and him." "Uhh yeah i guess we do. He sleeps over every once in a while but mostly i sleep over at his house. That way i get to see my two best friends you know" "Yeah that makes sense. So with me sleeping over... am i like a good friend now?" "No" i wanted to see his reaction. Which was pretty funny. He gave me a really puzzled yet sad look. "oh" he said. "You're like a brother slash friend" "Cool" his puzzled look quickly turned into a smile. We watched tv for a while. But we mostly talked and joked around. I was really enjoying having Jon with me. But i still kept thinking of what Uriel was up to at this very moment. I really miss him. I miss the way we used to always watch tv before we went to bed and how we always talked after we turned off the tv. Well i can't say always because in the past 3 months we haven't really spend much time together, let alone slept together. I got tired of sitting up so I lied down on a pillow. Jon did the same. After a while I started getting cold and I thought maybe Jon might be cold too. I pulled him closer to me and put my arm around his stomach. "Does that Help you with the cold?" I asked. "Yeah it makes me feel all warm" I was once again spooning him. It felt so good to just hold him tight and make him warm. But then I remembered we were both wearing thin clothing so any sort of `excitement' could be detected. I started to get a hard on because I could feel his butt right against it. I didn't really know what to do. I just kept on watching tv and hoping that Jon would not mention the incident. After a while Jon turned to face the ceiling. I was now just hugging him by the stomach still but now my hard on was on his side. "Aaron, do you like hugging me?" "Well I'm just used to it because I used to hug Uriel all the time" "Oh" "Why? Does it bother you?" "No." he answered back while putting his arm on mine again and placing his hand near mine. I didn't understand how this kid would give me so much trust in so little time. I was beginning to realize that maybe all this time that I thought I loved Uriel, I didn't. Uriel never really liked me hugging him. It was just something he got accustomed to. IT was something I did so much that he just had to live with it since I started doing it when he was only 9. But Jon was actually hugging me back in a way. He was allowing me to hug him and holding me while I did it. That is something Uriel never actually did. "Aaron?" "Hmm" I answered paying attention to the show on tv. "When Uriel comes back will I get to meet him?" "I guess. If you really want to" "I do. Because I've heard Ryan talk about him, he says Uriel is like really cool." "Yeah, Ryan likes to hang out with Uriel. He hardly ever gets to see him but when he does he really likes being around him." "Oh" "Well good night Jon. You look tired. You should sleep" "Okay. Good night Aaron" So he once again turned around so that I was spooning him. But then he pushed back against me as if he was getting nestled in. I just put my arm around him and he drifted off to sleep. I lied there for almost an hour thinking about how I was starting to care for Jon a lot faster than I began caring for Uriel. I also realized that Uriel was the same age as Jon when I started to get feelings for him. I began to think that maybe this was just part of me wanting to see Uriel in Jon so that I could sort of go back to the past. But this never actually happened with Uriel and me. I did hug him and all but after a while he sort of only liked it ONCE he fell asleep, not before. Then I just ignored that thought and I focused on the now sleeping Jon. He looked so calm and peaceful. I couldn't help but to think about how nice it would be if this happened every night. I know that's impossible since he can't possibly sleep over every night, but it was just a thought. When I awoke the next morning it was 9:32 am and I remembered Jon had to be home by 10. I realized that I was still hugging Jon by the waist but now he had his leg between mine and I had my leg really close to his.well lets just say treasure. "Hey sleepy head. Wake up" I said very softly. He only opened his eyes a little but then closed them again. I started to rub his tummy and somehow I got the urge to rub it under his shirt. So I did. When my hand touched his stomach he kind of twitched but then he just lied there. "Your hand is cold" he told me. "Sorry. If I keep massaging your stomach it'll get warmer" "Ok" "But you really have to get up soon. You have 20 minutes to get home" "Aaron it's not like it takes me forever to get home" I couldn't believe Jon was in no hurry to leave even if I was touching his stomach. I know it's not so much a very private part. But not many kids especially boys like it when others touch their bare skin in a place where it's near something else. I massaged his stomach and then little by little went down to his waist and his sides and every once in a while I went upwards to his chest. "What are you doing Aaron?" "Massaging you." "Yeah but like on my chest?" "Yeah, doesn't it feel relaxing?" "I don't know." "Alright well you have to get going or else your mom won't let you sleep over again" So we got up and he got changed. Again he went into the closet to change. Then he helped me do my bed and this time it didn't take so long and we didn't mess around because he only had 5 minutes to get home. When I was walking him to the back door he was still kind of sleepy. I played with his hair while we were walking and then I put my arm around him. "I had a really good time with you." I told him. "Yeah me too. It was lots of fun. Maybe we can do this again tomorrow. Maybe Ryan can be here with us." "Yeah maybe" it was then when I realized he could just be spending time with me to get a chance to see Ryan. But if that was the case he wouldn't have slept over. "O wait Jon hold on." I told him. I remembered I had a pair of watch walkie-talkies. They were cool. They looked like regular watches but they had a little speaker on them and they could go as far as 5 miles. I think that's enough since Jon only lives a couple feet away. Well the yards are pretty big but I'm sure they are not 5 miles. "What's this?" he asked. "It's a walkie-talkie. We can talk all day long with these if you keep it charged. Then you can tell me when you want to play and stuff" "Awesome. Okay well I gotta run now Aaron. Bye" "Bye" He started running home and then halfway there he turned back and gave me a smile. I could see he was trying to get this walkie-talkie on. When I saw him go inside his house I sat down by my pool. I was hoping for him to like call me or something on the walkie-talkie but it had been 5 minutes and nothing. I was thinking about having a swim in the pool, but then I would have to call the pool cleaners to get the pool ready. My dad hadn't called them yet so the pool wasn't quite ready for the summer. I went inside to get a sandwich and when I was getting the mayonnaise out of the fridge my watch started to beep. Then I heard Jon's voice. "Wazzup wazzup" "Hey wazz up" I answered. "What are you doing Aaron?" "Making myself a sandwich. You?" "I'm eating a burrito" "That's cool." "Hey Aaron you think that we could have a swim in your pool today?" "Well it's not opened up yet and the cleaners have to clean them. I have to call my dad to ask him if it's okay" "Cool, my mom says that if I clean my room and read with my brother for like an hour I can go over again. And if I read everyday with my brothers I can go over to your house everyday." I was so surprised at how Jon wanted to spend so much time with me when we had only known each other for like 4 days or so. "Well that's awesome." "I know" I heard him say with food in his mouth. I couldn't help but imagine him eating his burrito. "Okay well let me call my dad and I'll beep you back when I know what's going on" "Okay" So I kept on eating and then I called my dad. I asked him if I could call the pool guys so they could get the pool ready. He said he'd call them and then he'd call me back. Every once in a while Jon beeped me just to say hi. He even beeped me once to tell me he was going to take a shower. And then he beeped me when he was taking a dump because he was bored. I was getting used to having him with me all day long through walkie-talkies and in person. My dad called back and told me the pool guys were going to take a while to fix the pool. So I called Jon and told him that it could take a while. When the pool was ready we did swim for a while but then Jon's mom called me to tell me that he had to go home because something had come up and they had to go out of town. I was kind of sad but I knew he would come back, I just knew it. So we said bye to each other and he ran back with his shorts all wet and his Cubs T-shirt. He loves the Cubs. We hung out almost every day for the next 3 weeks. He'd come over at 11am most of the time and we would play and talk and swim. Sometimes Ryan would be with us and Jon loved that. But like every other kid in the world. I had to give them their space because when they were together they acted like a bunch of immature kids. Which was totally understandable because that's what they were. But I liked it when Jon and I were alone because he acted mature but still he was funny and witty.just like me. One Saturday morning, I was on my way to the store with Jon when my cell phone rang. When I looked at my caller id I saw a picture of Uriel. It couldn't be... he was in Mexico. "Hello" I answered. "Hey whats up Aaron" I heard Uriel voice. "Umm hey Uriel. How come you're calling me?" "Why, I can't call you?" "No I mean aren't you supposed to be in Mexico?" "Yeah but it got cut short and we've been back for 2 days" I looked over at Jon and he seemed interested and I knew he found out who was calling me. He just sat there paying attention. "Well Aaron I was just calling to ask you if you wanted to come hang out today. My brother is going to work all day and my sister wants you to hang out with us" "Your sister? Don't you want me to hang out with you?" "Well yeah but you know how she is. She wouldn't stop bugging me about calling you" Same old same old Uriel. He hardly ever calls me on his own. He always has to be told to call me. Its not like he doesn't care about me, he just isn't the type of person who calls me all the time. "Well I'm kind of busy at the moment, I'll call you in a little bit to tell you if I can go or not okay enano" Enano is a slang term in Spanish that means shorty. I have been calling him that since forever. Because he was shorter than me I started calling him that. "Okay. See you later bye" He hung up and I just turned to Jon. "It was Uriel wasn't it?" he asked. "Yeah, why?" "I don't know I was just asking" We talked about something else and then we listened to the radio. When we got to the store we got what he wanted and then we stopped by Burger King to get him something. He was always hungry. When we got home Ryan and my sister were out in the back picking something up. My sister always came by to pick something up or to drop off Ryan. Since she had a key she would usually come in. Sometimes he left him there when the maid was around. She was a very nice lady. But she left every once in a while to do shopping and stuff. When I think about it, she doesn't have a bad life for a maid. She has a nice apartment not too far away, and she has a nice car. It's a 98 Nissan Maxima. It's an okay car. But then again she does have a dirty past. She has two sons. One is 12 and one is 14. They live with their father because she was too unstable to keep them and their father is re-married with someone else. So now she just lives life with us basically. She has changed and all but her ex still doesn't want her to keep the boys. She sees them every weekend and they sometimes come to the house. My dad treats them like family so they don't really mind. But at the same time they hate the fact that she is a maid. Anyway, my sister told me that she was going shopping all day long and that she was leaving Ryan here because he didn't want to go. I didn't care because as soon as Ryan saw Jon and Jon's new lightsabers they began playing. They were both into Star-Wars so they play like they are Jedis all the time. It's not that cool for me. I mean I join them and have fun for a little bit, but I'm not like all crazy about it. I went inside to call Uriel. "Hello" he answered. "Hey whats up enano" "Nothing, really" "What are you doing?" "Watching tv with Bianca" "Okay well I think I can make it tonight like around 9. Is that okay?" There was a moment of silence... I didn't know what was going on. "Umm I have bad news Aaron" "What?" "My parents are going to Indiana for the weekend" "Okay?" "Well I can't really do anything." "Oh that sucks" "I might have to go to my cousin Tony's house for the weekend" "O man" Then Bianca picked up the other phone. "Wait guys, what if I can convince my parents to let me stay at Andy's house for the weekend and you can go to Aaron's house for the weekend Uriel?" It wasn't that bad of an idea. But their parents didn't' like it when Bianca stayed over at anyone's house. It's hard enough to get Uriel to spend the night at my house. "Umm Bianca, you know how hard that is. My parents don't like it when you spend the night at someone else's house" "Uriel, you go to Aaron's house all the time" "Yeah but I hardly ever get to sleep over. I mean only sometimes I get to" "Exactly, and this time my aunt is going to be busy. Remember she has this family get together for my uncle" "Yeah but I'm always there for stuff like that anyway" I was just listening to their conversation and thinking how come Uriel was making such a big deal. I mean we could just give it a try. We don't lose a thing by just giving it a shot. "Okay guys make a decision. Because I mean I have to know sometime soon" I interrupted. "Alright Bianca, we'll give it a try. But I'm telling you it's more than likely not going to work" "Well if it doesn't work then Aaron can come spend the weekend with us. You know my mom doesn't care if he's here." "That's true" Uriel agreed. "Okay guys I'll be right back let me go ask my parents, Uriel stay on the line with Aaron" So we heard the other line click and we knew she was off. Plus a couple seconds later we could hear her loud voice. "Okay well whats up enano?" "Nothing, what about you what are you doing?" That was when I realized I was supposed to spend the day with Jon today. I knew he was playing with Ryan as usual and that by now they must have gotten into the pool. But I just didn't want to tell Uriel that I was hanging out with someone else. "Not much just hanging out with my nephew and his friends are over" "Which one? Ryan?" "Yeah" "Cool. Dude it was awesome in Mexico, I did a bunch of things I would have never even thought of doing" "Like what?" I was beginning to get worried. "I jumped off a really high cliff into the ocean. Then I dived into a 13 feet pool from one of those jumping board things. I went skydiving and also parachuting. And a few other things" "What are those few other things?" I asked. "Ah just dumb things. But the trip was fun." "Well that's fun I guess. I was here all alone" Then we heard Bianca again. She sounded like she had just ran a block and a half, and for her that is just too much. " Guys..." She began to say. "Hold on Bianca, breath deeply first" I said. "Shut up Aaron. Anyway, my mom said yeah." "Are you serious?" Uriel asked very surprised. "Yeah, and she says they are leaving tonight and coming back Monday. That means we get to spend three whole nights and four whole days with our friends Uriel!" "Umm cool" Uriel answered. "You don't sound too excited enano" I added. "Well Aaron, I don't know. I just don't think I've ever been at your house so much" "Don't worry it'll be fine." Just then I saw Jon running to me. "Aaron my mom forgot to wash my swimming shorts. Do you think you could find some like shorts I can swim in?" he asked. I didn't know what to do. I knew I could just say it was one of Ryan's friends but why would he be talking to me so friendly. "Uhhh... yeah hold go to my room and look in my bottom drawer. There should be a blue one with white. That one is really small. It was my cousins. Come here so I can make it tighter once you have it on. And remember to take off your boxers, don't wear them with boxers" I was beginning to sound more like a father than a brother. "Umm... Aaron, what was that all about?" Uriel asked. "One of Ryan's friends needed swimming shorts" I answered. I wasn't lying. "And you told him to come to you so you could make it tighter and to take off his boxers?" "Well yeah, I used to tell that to you all the time remember" then I realized that was not the smartest thing to say because then Uriel would start making connections and stuff. "Okay...anyway who was that little kid Aaron. Are you going Jacko on us?" Bianca asked. "Yeah... and your brother is next" I kidded with her. Well actually it was sort of true but not really. I did like Uriel and I did like Jon, but I had done nothing with either of them. "Anyway, my mom says you can pick up Uriel tonight like at 7." "Okay see both of you at 7. Uriel bring swimming shorts and stuff." "I know" he answered. So then I hung up and walked up to my room. I found Jon trying to get the shorts untied. Someone had made he knot extra tight and he couldn't get it off. The problem was that he had already put on the shorts by force only to find out they were too tight. "This hurts Aaron" he said. "Well why did you put it on by force if it was too tight?" "I thought I could untie the knot" he answered. I pulled, tugged, and tried everything to get the knot untied. It was just not budging. I kept trying and trying when suddenly I tugged on the knot too hard, it got undone but I also pulled the shorts a little bit downwards, uncovering Jon's privates. I had them right in front of me and I didn't know what to do. I immediately pulled them right up and Jon's hands met mine while trying to put the shorts up. It was like half a second but I still got a very good view. His thing wasn't so big or anything. A regular 10 year old penis. But it looked so sweet and cute. It was uncut and I'm guessing it was 1 ½ inches and about 2 when hard. Then I just tied the knot but I made sure it wasn't as tight as the last knot. "Okay there you go" I said. I was hoping he wouldn't like get mad or something about what had just happened. "Jeez Aaron did you have to pull down my shorts!" he said. "It was an accident. It's okay we're both guys. It's not like I'm going to make fun of you. Remember that you're my brother. It's okay" "I guess. Okay Ryan and me are going to swim. I can only play till 6 and it's already like 4" "Okay go play before it gets too late," I said while I patted him on the back. Then I put my arm around him. "Okay, aren't you going to swim with us today? I want to get thrown and get torpedoed" he asked. "Sure I'll be down there in a minute." I said. "Cool see down there" As he walked away I couldn't help but stare at his cute butt. It was so cute and bubbly. For a 10-year-old I'd have to agree he had a very nice behind. I stopped thinking about it and then I went to get shorts to swim and a shirt. When I walked into the back patio and into the pool area I found Jon doing a backflip into the pool. "Hey Jon that's very dangerous. Be careful!" I told him. Ryan was in the pool trying to not get hit by Jon We started play fighting and then I threw Jon around and of course Ryan wanted to be thrown as well. Later on I was just swimming around and watching them throw a quarter into the pool and racing to see who could find it first. Then somehow Jon came up to me underwater and pulled my shorts down. He had my shorts down and he was right in front of my dick. I quickly pulled my shorts up so that Ryan couldn't' see anything, but he was too busy looking for the coin. Then Jon came up to the top. "What are you doing!" I asked. "Nothing, just getting payback" he giggled. He went back down to keep playing the game. I didn't really think much of it because since he's so young he could have just been messing around. I very much doubt that he did it to just see me down there. And if he did he probably thought it was funny, not arousing. When the clock struck 6, Jon got out of the pool and told Ryan he had to go. My sister had just pulled up to pick up Ryan as well so he didn't get time to pout. He had to run to the car. He said bye to Jon and then ran to the front of the house. "Jon, you are a very bad boy" I said in a funny way. "So... you saw mine, I had to see yours I guess. I was just playing Aaron, I'm sorry." "It's okay, anyway, you have to get home or else your mom will get mad." "Okay lets go change." He said. So we went to my room and I grabbed a towel from my closet. I started to dry his back off and then I just decided to dry the rest of him off. He just looked at me kind of funny but then he just let me do it. I dried his behind really quick but not before getting a good look. Then I dried his little legs and then I made him turn and dried his hair and his face. I moved down to his arms and stomach. He gave me a worried look when I got near his private area. I would too if I was him. I just very softly passed over it and dried the front of his legs. Then I went into my closet to get his dry clothes and I handed them to him. I told him to go change and to hand me the wet short to me and not throw them on the floor. So he went into the closet and as soon as he took them off he handed them to me carefully so that I wouldn't see anything, but I still caught a glimpse of the side of his body, it was really nice. He was so cute. When he closed the door again I couldn't help but to smell the shorts. I felt so weird when I just caught a very faint odor of butt sweat. It wasn't even nasty. It had a very sweet aroma. I liked it. The front didn't smell like anything but just the fact that I knew his little balls and dick were nestled right there made me not want to wash these shorts ever again. "Okay all done" he said as he got out of the closet. I threw the shorts in the dirty linen I had next to the hallway closet just so that he wouldn't think wrong. I just took his towel and dried fast and went to the closet to change quickly. Then we both went downstairs and he immediately headed for the back door. He knew he had to go home. "Okay bye Aaron" "Bye Jon" I said. I felt like I wanted to hug him for some reason, and I knew that if I just gave him a good explanation he wouldn't think twice before hugging me back. "Hey Jon" I said. He turned to look at me and I just gave him a good hug. "What was that for?' he asked. "Because I care about you and I wanted to. Don't you like to hug me?" "Uhh, I don't know. I guess" he said very confused. I just gave him a frustrated look and he got close to me and gave me a hug. "Now that's more like it. Okay kid get home before your mom gets mad" "Okay, I'll beep you right now" he said. "Okay" He ran home and I went inside to get ready to go pick up Uriel. As I was doing my hair my watch started to beep. "Hey Aaron what are you doing?" "Nothing, doing my hair and you?" "I'm taking a bath" "You're taking a bath?" "Yeah, I'm all naked" he giggled. "Nah, really, you're taking a bath naked. Nah that's impossible." I joked. "Why are you doing your hair?" he asked. I took a while to get that question through because I was so busy thinking about him taking a bath and how his little body is naked in the tub. "I'm going to go pick up Uriel" "Oh that's cool. Is he spending the night?" "Yeah" "That's so cool. I wish I could stay with you again" I didn't know what to say. I didn't know if I should say `yeah why don't you' or just say `bummer'. I mean I wanted him with me but I didn't want him with me while Uriel was around. I didn't know how Uriel would react to that. I mean I did like making Uriel jealous. But he gets jealous because I get other friends, not because of other boys. "But my mom won't let me she already said I have to go to my aunts house with her" he added on. "O bummer. That sucks" I said in a relieved manner. "Well I got to get going Aaron or else my mom will yell at me. I'll see you later bro" he said. "Bye lil bro" I felt so nice and cool when he said bro to me. I don't know why. I guess I liked the feeling of actually being cared for. I walked out of the house but not before trying to catch a glimpse of Jon's room. The window curtains were closed though. When I got to Uriel's house I talked to his parents a little bit. They told me how they let him go because he hadn't spent much time with me and because his aunt was busy. His mom kept saying that she felt bad because it was such a long time and I kept telling her it was going to be fun for us. I talked to Bianca for a little bit and then I went to Uriel's room to wait for him. He was in the shower so I just lied on his bed waiting. When he got out of the shower I expected him to tell to get out so he could change. I was just facing the ceiling pretending to not even notice. "Hey whats up Aaron" "Whats up enano. Why didn't you take a shower earlier?" "I dunno" he answered. I was expecting him to say it now. I was also getting ready to get up just in case he said it, I was sure he would say it. Next thing I know he's putting on his briefs under his towel but the towel sort of fell down and he became exposed. All I could see was a little bit of his ball sack, but that was enough to realize that Uriel hadn't really grown since the last time I `accidentally' saw something. He had no pubic hair yet. "Did you look?" he asked. "At what?" "You know what" "There was nothing to see" "There you go always making fun of me." "Uriel I'm not making fun of you. I meant that I just couldn't see anything. Not that you don't have anything to see. I'm sure you have plenty to see" "You're just trying to be funny" I wasn't even trying to make fun of him. He must really be self-conscious at the moment. I mean I had seen him a couple of times in the past 3 years and I do know that he's not as big down there as a 12 year old would be but it's still cool. He's still a very good-looking boy. The only bad thing, well it's not even that bad, he's been gaining weight and right now he weighs like 10 pounds less than me. That puts him at about 165 lbs. But he doesn't even look fat, he's just pudgy all over. I wouldn't even consider him overweight, just slightly filled in. "What are you thinking about Aaron?" "Umm nothing" "Just wondering how we're going to change at my house since you don't like me watching you change" "You have a huge closet Aaron, and you have a spare room in your house. Should I say mansion?" "Shut up. I thought we'd talked about this before." "I know I know. Just because your parents business is doing extremely good and you're now rich, you will never change who you are and you will always care about me." He said it like he's heard that many times. Which he probably has heard a lot of times from me. "Am I going to use the spare room or what?' "That room doesn't even have a bed in there. There's just a bunch of boxes and old junk we have. You're going to have to sleep with me. In my bed" I gave him a suggesting look. "Oh... I see. Well I can live with that. Your bed is huge" "I know" "And I don't care if you see me changing. As long as you don't see me naked" "I've seen you naked tons of times" "What... how?" "Well not tons of times but I have. Remember at camp, then when I walked in on you while you were changing and you covered your face instead of your thing, and then the time we went swimming, and then the time you took a shower at my house and you accidentally opened the door while I was shaving. Shall I keep going?" "Well, that was a long time ago." "Like two months ago" "Whatever Aaron, I just like my privacy. I'm sure you like your privacy" "I don't really care because I trust you and I know you trust me" "True" "Yeah" "Can we stop talking about nakedness please and get going?" "Oh yeah" I was getting too carried away thinking about all the times I saw Uriel's little jewel. "So you have everything?" I asked. "Xbox, games, some clothes, clean underwear and sox" "That all fit into that little bag?" "Well remember I have clothes at your house?" "O yeah" "Okay lets go" So we were saying bye to his parents and I didn't know but we had spent an hour and half talking away about nakedness and other things. When we walked into the living room to say bye to his dad we saw Ale and her sister Andy waiting for Bianca. "Hey guys!" Andy said very happily. "Hey" we both said at the same time. I'm sure it sounded kinda weird. "I'm sure you guys are going to have a lot of fun huh?" Ale asked. "Yeah I guess. I'm stuck with this enano here" I joked. "O yeah that could be a bad thing." She laughed. "Hey! I'm standing right here you know" Uriel protested. We all joked around and stuff. It felt like we had gone back through time because this is how we always used to hang out. Except this time we were missing Jesse because he was working. He worked at a really high-end restaurant. He started working just part time and stuff and the place wasn't so good. But then the restaurant went huge and now Jesse is the manager. At one point I worked there but my dad made me quit because I didn't really have to work and then I had to pitch in doing paperwork for my dad's business. When it was around 9:30 I told Uriel we had to go because my parents were going to be home soon and I hadn't told them I was going to be gone. We started saying our good byes and stuff. Specially to Ale and Andy because they lived really far away and I hadn't seen them in a very long time. When Uriel and I were just getting ready to pull out of the driveway Ale came to my car. "I hate you so much. Uriel said it was an old Mustang. This thing is brand new!" "Yeah, well Aaron said it wasn't like new" "Oh I meant that it wasn't like a new model like a 2004. But yeah I'm the first owner. So it's brand new" I didn't want Uriel to look like a liar. It was kind of my fault. "It's nice. Anyway Aaron, I have to talk to you. I'll call you later on this weekend. Not tonight, I'm sure Bianca will keep us busy for this night" "Yeah" I agreed. I said good bye again and she hit my car with her hand to show me how she hated me for having it. I always wanted this car and so did she. We just never knew who'd get it first. We both thought it was going to take a very long time. But it didn't. I ignited the car and I was about to put the top down when my cell phone rings. I just pressed the button anyway and answered the phone. "Hello?" "Aaron, guess what?" It was the girl I was dating. "What?" "Remember how I told we were going to go out this weekend?" "Yeah" I lied. I knew I had something to do but I didn't know it was that. "Well something kind of came up and I'm not going to be able to go" "What came up?" "Family trouble" "Okay baby well if we can't do anything than what can I say. I mean I really wanted to see you but I guess it's not going to be possible" Just then I realized Uriel had no idea that I had a girlfriend, let alone that I had been dating her for more than a month. "I love you Aaron, you're so understanding." "Oh baby, well it's not like I can do anything about it." "Yeah I know. Well baby I gotta go because my mom is coming this way. Bye, love you." "Me too... bye" she hung up just as her mom's voice was heard. "Who was that?" Uriel asked. I pulled out of the driveway, finally, and I was heading home. "I asked you a question" "Oh, sorry. A friend" "You call your friends baby?" "Yeah, haven't you noticed?" "Aaron don't act stupid." "Okay sorry, it was a friend of mine. That's how we say bye to each other and stuff" "She's your girlfriend isn't she?" "Umm... well umm..." I didn't know what to say. "Aaron what!" "Well I didn't know how to tell you. You don't take this sort of things right" "What do you mean. You always tell me you want me to tell you everything, and you don't even tell me everything" "I'm sorry. I really am. I wanted to tell you but I didn't want you to feel like you weren't important" "Whatever Aaron." We were both quiet for the next five minutes and I hated it. I mean I never like being quiet with Uriel unless we're not mad at each other. But that rarely happens. We always talk about something. I just had to break the ice. "Why are you mad?" "Because..." "Because what" "Never mind. I'm not mad. It's just you lied to me" "I'm sorry enano." "Here I'll make it up to you. Want to go buy a game?" "No Aaron, you can't just buy me things whenever we get mad" "I thought you weren't mad" "Aaron lets just get to your house and then we'll talk" "Okay, but can we at least talk about something else?" "Like what?" "Did you bring your Xbox?" "Yeah, but I don't get it. How come you don't buy one. You have money now" "I don't want to. I like using yours" "Why?" "Because that means I get to be with you" "Okay whatever" We finally started talking about other things. Games, movies, cartoons, his vacation, how much my life has changed, and how much I haven't changed. He keeps saying that he actually thought that if I ever became "rich" I would stop being his friend or start being all stuck up. But I'm not. I jus know I have plenty of money. But that doesn't mean I don't need family and friends. My friends and family are probably most important in my life. When we pulled up to my house, my parents were just about to have dinner. I told Uriel to go upstairs and wash his hands and put his stuff in my room while I told my mom that he was staying for the weekend. "Mom, Uriel is staying over for the weekend," I said. "How come you didn't ask me first?" "Ma, you're never home and when you are you're watching tv, or cleaning. How many times do I have to tell you that you have people who clean for you" "Yeah, but not like I clean" "Okay whatever, you don't mind do you?" "Actually no. I'm going to be away for the weekend with your father. We have a business trip in New York. I was going to take you along but you know how your dad is. He doesn't like to leave the restaurants unattended." "It's not like I'm going to be at them" "No but they can at least call you and you could go there and see what's going on" Just as she was finishing up talking Uriel came down. I signaled that everything was fine and we had dinner. It was actually pretty cool having dinner with my parents. They both seemed to be in very good moods. My mom didn't really like going on trips but she had to get used to them. My dad too. My older brother goes with them and stuff because my parents don't really have much knowledge about money. My mom just knows how to clean, and my dad just knows how to cook very good food. But my brother is the one who is really making the family business achieve its greatness as he calls it. He's planning on opening 3 more restaurants in New York. Anyway, my parents joked with us about what we were going to do all alone. They even mentioned having a party. But I know my dad was just kidding because my mom would kill me if I ever did have a party. When we finished having dinner and washing our hands really good with water AND soap, my mom made sure we used soap, we went to my room to hang out. "Why were you so mad about me not telling you that I have a girlfriend?" I asked. "It's not that. I don't care if you have one. It's just that you didn't tell me" "I'm sorry enano. You know I love you right?" I pulled him to me and hugged him. "Yeah Yeah." He said in an annoyed tone of voice. I'd told him that a lot of times but I also know that when he says that in that tone of voice it means he forgave me. "So Aaron, what do you want to do?" "Well we could go out for a swim. It's only like 10" "Sure. But remember I don't' have any swimming shorts" "We'll swim naked" I said very care free. "What?" he seemed shocked. "I'm just joking. I have some that will fit you don't worry" So we changed into our swimming stuff, one in the closet and one in my room of course, and then we swam for about an hour. We still liked play fighting and throwing each other around. Jumping into the pool, cannon-balling into the pool and sort of things like that. After our swim we headed for my bathroom to take a shower. It had become a regular thing that while Uriel took a shower I would wash my face and my teeth. I had this facial wash that took forever to do and that's why we always did this. My bathroom was big so the sink was far from the shower but I could still see the glass doors from the mirror. They were sort of distorted so that I couldn't see things clear. But I could still use my imagination. While I walked out to grab my clothes Uriel got out of the shower. But when he did this he didn't tell me that he was getting dressed so I just walked in. He was putting on his briefs as I walked in. Since his hands were down at his legs, he didn't really have time to cover up and in the position he was standing, he couldn't really pull the briefs up quickly, so once again I saw his thing. "Aaron, you just love watching me huh?" he asked. "Actually I do" I laughed. He thought I was kidding. But I wasn't. Anyway, we went to bed at around 11. The usual thing was that we watched tv while we ate some cereal in the kitchen. And then we would go to bed and watch tv there. We were both very cozy in my bed when my watch began to beep. Uriel just looked at me like saying ` what the heck is that `. I put the watch to my ear and turned the volume down. Of course I knew who it was and I didn't want Uriel to get mad again. "Aaron, meet me outside. I got to show you something" I heard Jon say. "Look Uriel, it's my friend from next door. I have to go talk to him really quickly I promise I won't take long." "Okay, what kind of friends would want to talk a this time?" "Oh it's because he probably had a fight with his parents" "Oh, you teenagers have a thing for fighting with your parents. Well go hurry up because I hate watching tv alone in this huge house" So I hurried up and made my way to my backyard. I found Jon waiting for me sitting in a chair next to the pool. "Whats up. What are you doing up so late" "Well, Aaron, its because I kept hearing noises on my walkie so I thought I'd come and show you." "Oh, what sort of noises?" "Didn't you hear them?" "No, I was taking a shower" He showed me what noises and I told him we must be catching signal from some other walkie so I told him to change his channel and that as soon as I got inside I'd change it to that channel. Then we started talking about what to do the next day and I just told him I'd call him because I had some little things to do. "Okay well, then bye Aaron" I looked at his little eyes and they looked sad. Like he probably was hoping I'd tell him to just spend the night. But I couldn't. "Umm bye Jon. Hey I promise you we'll hang out okay. I'm just a little busy right now" "What are you doing?" "My friend came over" "Uriel?" "Umm, yeah" I saw that look kids get when they get sad and mad and jealous at the same time. But I knew wasn't going to make a big deal. "Well, have fun" "Jon, don't you get sad" "I'm not sad" "I promise you we'll hang out later okay?" "Okay" I just couldn't help it. I kept seeing his eyes look right at me. "Jon" "What" "I love you" "Huh?" "You're my best friend slash little brother, I love you" "O yeah, me too" He got up and got ready to leave. I pulled him back and gave him a hug. He returned it. "Bye" he said very softly. It was then when I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled him to and I bent forward to give him a kiss. He started to pull back and when our lips met he closed them shut. But when I loosened up my grip and I gently stroked his hair, he opened up. For the first time in my life I was kissing someone. I started to softly suck on his lips and then I pulled back. "Why did you do that?" "I wanted to know if you trust me" "Oh, yeah I do" "Then can I kiss you for real this time?" "I don't know." "Didn't you like it?" "I don't know" "Jon, come on, I trust you, you should trust me" "Okay yes, I liked it." "So can I?" "It's just that I don't know how to kiss for real Aaron" "I'll teach you. Look when I kiss you open your mouth and then we put our tongues together, we'll just see what happens from there" "Umm. Okay" "So I pulled him to me and I kissed his lips softly. He opened up and I instantly felt the warmth of his little mouth. We both closed our eyes, and it was like we kicked into auto-pilot because our tongues just started wrestling and I tasted his sweet young mouth for the first time. It was the most wonderful feeling I had ever felt in my whole life. I didn't' want to let go of Jon but I knew I had to. "Thanks" I said softly. "I gotta go Aaron, bye" "Bye" I turned a little when Jon quickly gave me another little kiss on the lips. He started to run home and I saw him run in through his back door and soon I saw the lights in his room turn on. I sat there on the bench thinking about how the greatest thing had just happened to me. I had just been kissed by the cutest boy out there. I was so freaking happy. Then I saw Uriel coming out the door. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm now working on the next half of the story.
