They all helped to make breakfast. Hank and Liz had skipped the swim but
were there for breakfast.

Hank's and Michael's tents were down and their luggage at the cars.

They were at Michael's car which was loaded and they were ready to
leave. It was Michael who looked at the two guys. "I didn't know what to
expect. One of the best July 1st celebrations, I have had. We really have
to get together in the Fall term." He reached out and hugged first Lucas
and then Robert. "Another family tradition that I have learned here. Feels
good."

Robert went over to Anna. He whispered in her ear. "I am so happy for
you. You know that he is crazy for you? Have a great rest of the summer and
we hope to see you and Michael in the Fall."

Anna looked at him. "I see the looks and touches between you and Lucas. I
am happy for you as well." With bit of smile, "Surprised but really happy."
They gave each other a hug and a chaste kiss on the cheek.

As Michael and Anna drove off, the two put their arms around each
other. They turned and looked at each other. Lucas spoke first. "I am so
glad that we invited them. I think that we have made another strong
friendship with both of them." They each leaned over for a kiss.

From behind them they heard, "Oh stop the lovey dovey stuff. Disgusting."
Hank got a smack from Liz and Hank laughed. He loaded their stuff in his
car and then Hank came over and gave Robert a hug. "See I can learn. Thanks
so much for inviting us. It has been a great learning experience for
me. Your family is amazing, down to earth, approachable, bright and
inviting. We have had a great time. I loved the water skiing."

"Hank, you have added so much to the team this year. Lucas thinks the world
of you and so do I. We really enjoyed having you. Looking forward to that
first week back with the hockey team. Stay in touch."

Hank and Liz repeated everything with Lucas. Finally, they were waving
goodbye as Hank's car disappeared down the hill and turned the corner.

They turned and looked at the other. Robert tilted his head. "I think that
we have some unfinished business in our tent. You know clean up and take it
down."

Lucas looked at him with a very intense smile. "And you call me a horny
bugger. I love that look in your eyes when you are turned on." Lucas gave
him a loving look. "Yep, unfinished business that never seemed to be
completed. Just the way we both want it."

They walked hand in hand to the tent. They kissed as they entered the
tent. Not to either's surprise, they were both hard without even touching
each other when they quickly undressed. It took them quite a while to
finish their unfinished business. As they were to say later smiling, it was
an excellent way to end a very successful July 1st.

Present

They were both enjoying their various summer jobs. They worked part time
with Marchese Construction and the part time at The Accountants. The first
week back after July 1st, Lucas worked the entire week at The
Accountants. There was a complicated forensic account that was complex and
fascinating for Lucas. He came home every night full of insights into the
process of a forensic case. Robert loved to hear him so taken by the cases
that he was working on. His course that he had taken with their new
approaches had helped him handle the data and he had been an asset to the
team.

Robert had worked with Philipo. Lucas had downloaded a new Accounting
system that Philipo and he had decided would be a good fit for the size of
the business. Lucas would start to implement it when he came the next week
to work with Philipo. Robert worked on the computer system optimizing it
for speed and made some additions to the web site. On the last couple of
days, Robert worked on a site as a worker. He was still determined to see
the operation from the ground up. It had been tough work but he took in a
lot and he knew that the physical effort was good for his conditioning for
hockey.

The first couple of weeks of the summer seemed to fly by. The highlight of
each week was the time that they spent at the chalet every weekend with
Paul and Brett and various family members. Paul was gaining more and more
expertise in water skiing but it was Brett who was mastering the techniques
the fastest. He loved every minute that he was on skis.

Finally after the second weekend after July 1st on the way home, Robert
mentioned that there were two things that he wanted to concentrate on. He
wanted to do even more reading and organization for their trip to Paris and
he wanted to start looking at his idea of creating a program for computers
aiding forensic accounting. He knew that his first try would not be what he
would end up with but he still had three more years to build his program
and he wanted to start early. His aim was to possibly have a working
program by the time that they graduated. He had jokingly said that he
wasn't even sure that he could do it. He had decided to take the forensic
accounting course that Lucas had taken and he had registered for it along
with his computer courses. He had been clear to Lucas that he needed Lucas'
expertise but Robert felt that he too needed to have a mind set of his own
for forensic accounting. Lucas would obviously have to be be the lead in
that area.

They had had some emails from Charles and Emile when they first arrived in
Europe and that really did have them concentrating on a schedule for
Paris. Over almost a week of talking and reading, they had decided on an
itinerary for their stay before the dads arrived. By the end of the week,
they had a tentative itinerary.

On the first Thursday, they would visit the Pantheon and walk around the
Latin quarter that was close to their apartment which was only a short walk
from the Sorbonne and the Pantheon.

On Friday they would get up early and visit the Impressionist Gallery at
the Musee d'Orsay. Then a walk over to the Tuilleries Gardens and the Place
de la Concorde with a walk down the Blvd Haussmann going into some of the
big department stores.

On Saturday morning they would go early to the Eiffel Tower and walk around
the Champs de Mars and possibly the Palais de Chaillot opposite the Eiffel
tower. Then rest in the afternoon and meet Charles and Emile at the
restaurant. Then it was the club and dancing.

Sunday would be Notre Dame for mass and possibly the Louvre; they wondered
if the Louvre would be too much that day. They did want to wander a bit
along the boulevards, especially along the Blvd St Germain.

Monday was Versailles. Then they met the dads. They almost had to catch
their breath at the itinerary. They would have to revisit their itinerary
and to plan some more relaxing days. From their reading, they knew that
they were just touching the surface and that they would be back to Paris in
later years.

In the first week of August they were both at The Accountants. Robert had
finished the web site. It was a little later than he had anticipated. There
had been some problems with the computer systems and he and all the IT
staff had had to deal with that. He had finally finished the web site and
he wanted to present it to his Dad before any announcement were made.

He had made an appointment with his father for the Tuesday of that week. On
the Tuesday at breakfast, Lucas could sense that Robert was a bit nervous
and Lucas had suggested that they leave the office at noon and have lunch
at a pub. Robert realized yet again what a blessing it was to have someone
who cared about him so much and did little things like this for him.

"So what is the worst that can happen. You might have to make some
changes. Your dad might hate it and you would have to start over." Lucas
had laughed at that last possibility telling Robert for the hundredth time
that the site was excellent in so many ways and his father was going to
love it.

They arrived back at work and Robert felt better for the lunch out. As they
parted, Robert thanked Lucas for the break at lunch and the encouraging
words. Robert leaned over and gave his guy a hug and a quick kiss on the
lips. They didn't see the member of staff who came around the corner as
they kissed and separated. Robert would find out later in the day who it
was.

He was still a little nervous when he entered the bosses office. It had
been an even bigger job that the Marchese Construction site. He had put a
lot of effort into the design and the vast amount of information that was
in the previous site. He had streamlined it a bit and he hoped that his
father would approve. However, his dad was the boss and Robert would have
to let him know that he would make any changes that he wanted.

As usual, he had timed his arrival to the minute. Robert came in with his
laptop. He always acted as an employee with the boss when he was on
official business with his dad. It seemed to work for both of them. "Boss,
it is done. I want you to look at it and I have made a copy for you so that
you can go through it in detail. I still have several weeks to make
changes, even revamp it if you want."

"Let's see it."

He pushed the button on the computer and the opening page opened up. He was
watching his father's face as the page sprang to life. Jeremy's eyes opened
wider. There was look of amazement on his face. Seconds passed.

Robert couldn't help himself. "Well?"

He father dropped the boss, employee mode. "Son, it is amazing. The
colours, the design. It is modern, sophisticated, clear, concise. I love
our crest and motto. Are you sure that you shouldn't go into computer web
site design as your career path?"

"No, looking at bigger things than that. I take it that you like it?"

"Like it?" Jeremy leaned over and gave his son a hug.

Robert gave him a guided tour of the site and explained why he had done
certain things. "Boss, I hoped that you would like it. I think that you
know me. This is my effort. I know that you have to run this past partners
and management. I can fix almost anything or add anything that people want
but I have to have a clear mandate that the basics design is what you
want." He gave him a printed summary of what he had tried to achieve with
the new site.

"Robert, this summary reminds me of my summary pages that I do when I
attach a list of recommendation when I end a forensic case. I often include
why I did certain things." He stopped and looked a this son. "Let me be
clear. I think that the site is incredible. I shall be proud to show it to
anyone."

The meeting finished and they stood up and Jeremy gave him a handshake and
then a final hug.

Robert was floating on air. He had put a lot of time into this web site and
not just office time. He had worked at night and on the weekends at the
chalet. He wanted to have something important at The Accountants that was
his.

He left the area and went in search of Lucas to tell him what had
happened. As he neared the forensic unit, he heard raised voices. As he got
closer, he realized that it was coming from Lucas' cubicle. His guy was
standing staring at Daryl, the guy to whom Robert had tried to explain why
gay sex was as natural as hetero sex. As he got closer, he decided he was
wrong. Lucas wasn't just staring; he was angry as hell. There was no other
noise in the entire unit. Everyone was in their office looking out trying
to figure out what was happening. A couple of men had stood up, probably to
help Lucas if he needed help. Lucas had become a respected junior member of
the team. Robert smiled. Lucas didn't need any help but it was clear that
the diplomat had left his body and the angry Lucas was there for all to
see.

Lucas voice was raised. "I don't care what you fucking say or saw. It is
none of your fucking business so shut the fuck up." Lucas paused and
listened. "Don't tell me back off. You are the one who is out of line. You
know what you can do with your bloody prejudices."

It was at that point that Robert was in the door to the cubicle. Daryl
turned to look at him. Daryl didn't hesitate. "You lied to me. You are a
fucking gay."

"If you are talking about our little talk at the start of the summer, I
just didn't give you any personal information about myself. To quote Lucas
in more diplomatic terms," He turned to look at Lucas and then back to
Daryl, "It was none of your business then, " Robert paused. "And it still
isn't any of your business now. We didn't know that anyone was around. You
came upon us by accident"

Daryl was not going to stop. "You were fucking kissing in an office
corridor and I had to watch your disgusting antics."

Robert looked at Daryl with the trace of a smile. He had decided his next
move. "Oh kissing? That was a little peck. You want to see a kiss? I can
let you see a kiss." He moved to Lucas and planted a big wet kiss on his
lips and it last for a few seconds. He turned to Daryl. "You should be so
lucky to have such a wonderful partner as I have."

Robert and Lucas looked up as they heard ohs and ahs and then clapping from
the offices around the forensic area. They had outed themselves in public
for the first time. Robert had figured that it was like what had happened
with the hockey team. People would wonder and talk so he ended any
speculation with the kiss and his words. It was obvious that their
colleagues in the office didn't care who kissed whom.

Like so many bullies, Daryl had to get in the last words. "You haven't
heard the last of this. I am going to log a complaint with the head of my
section."

Both the guys shrugged their shoulders. A lot of the staff still didn't
know that the big boss was his father. A lot did but they realized from his
first summer at the firm that Robert could handle himself well. Now Lucas
had the respect of the forensic department. If Daryl was smart, he could
have his last words and then he should, in the about to become famous words
of his partner, shut the fuck up.

Supper ended. Jeremy looked at his son and his partner. "Want to tell me
about it?"

Robert decided not to beat around the bush. The boss seemed to have
pipeline to every department in the firm. Jeremy prided himself in knowing
what was going on in the firm. "I was a little anxious about our meeting
this afternoon and Lucas and I went out for lunch. My guy settled me down
and said some really nice things. We came back to the office and in a
corridor where there was no one around, I gave him a physical thank you for
being such a great guy. One of the younger accountants who is not know for
being subtle about his views on sexuality came upon us unexpectedly. I
didn't even know that he was behind us. He decided to take Lucas on." He
turned to Lucas letting him take over.

"The guy came in to my office and in very unsubtle language berated me
about ...." He smiled at Robert. "the physical thank you. I lost all my
former diplomatic skills and told him to fucking mind his own fucking
business and to shut the fuck up."

Jeremy was just holding back his laughter while Timothy, Paul and Brett
were howling almost crying.

Robert looked at his dad. "Dad, please don't do anything. I handled it. If
anything does come of it, please let me know."

Jeremy was smiling. "So let me recap. You were anxious about our meeting
... for reasons I can't understand and Lucas took you out to lunch. He
calmed you down. Said some nice things. You gave him quick kiss back at
work. An accountant who is not known to be subtle about his feelings about
gay couples challenged Lucas." Turning to Lucas, "You lost it with him and
Robert, forever the diplomat, took over and told him to mind his own
business. Then I understand that Robert repeated his actions and gave the
said partner a big wet kiss in the forensic unit viewed by almost the
entire forensic staff."

Robert and Lucas looked at each other, nodded their heads and at the same
time, Robert continued. "Yeah, you got it right. Just like you Dad, simple,
clear language and to the point. Well not quite correct. I think that the
entire staff saw the kiss."

Robert started to laugh as did everyone in the room.

Apparently Daryl must have thought it over and decided to take both Lucas
and Robert's suggestion. He did shut the fuck up.

Later that week, the web site had been reviewed and a few changes had been
made. Jeremy had organized a small celebration on Friday at the end of the
day with some drinks and hors d'oeuvres for the release of the new
website. Robert had almost begged him not to make a big deal about it but
his father overruled him. Robert arrived and there was a big computer
screen set up with a laptop. After everyone had arrived and had something
to eat and drink, Jeremy asked for quiet for a minute.

"I wanted everyone to see something this afternoon. Earlier today our
website was taken down and replaced by new one." Robert almost flinched; he
didn't like being singled out and he was certain he knew what his father
was going to do. "I would like a member of our IT staff to come up and
start up the new website. He has worked a lot of the summer on this and I
think that you will see that it is a job well done. Robert Malenfant would
you come up please and bring up our new website that you have created."

Robert smiled; he knew that you couldn't stop his Dad when he wanted to do
something. So he had to play by his rules. Like Coach, he was the
boss. Robert reached over and quickly pressed the key and instantly The
Accountants' website flashed on the screen. There were exclamations and
comments about how sophisticated it was. In a typical move, Robert moved
back to let staff come up to see it and play with the tabs. Lucas came up
to him, gave him a glass of wine and raised his glass in a toast to his
guy. He lightly touched Robert's hand. Their eyes connected as they raised
their glasses to each other. For Robert that was most special part of the
afternoon's celebration.

The last weeks of their time before Paris went quickly. They had worked for
Lucas' father for a few weeks in both July and early August and had had a
great time living at Lucas' home. When they left there the week before the
trip, they both were enthusiastic about their work in the summer and were
really excited about the upcoming trip.

They said their goodbyes to office workers at Marchese Construction and got
the big hugs from Philipo along with an envelope for each of them which
contained a large bonus all in euros. Robert tried to protest but Philipo
would have none of it. They each had enough money for some very good meals
out. On the Friday, they did the rounds at The Accountants and thanked
everyone for the all that they had done for them. It was clear that the IT
department would miss Robert and the forensic department was impressed with
the contribution of this first year student. They both knew that they had a
job for the next summer.

The final weekend was spent packing for Europe and their return to
university. They made the rounds to grandparents and great
grandparents. There was a surprise visit from Lucas' parents who stayed
over night at Robert's home. As Robert was to say in bed that Sunday night
when talking about Lucas' mother and father, what a difference a year
makes. Lucas had commented that that was a good title for a movie, novel or
a story.

There were Robert's parents, Jamie, Philipo, Momma and Pops waving at them
as they went through security. There had been more envelopes with all the
money in euros again. They were not going to have to make many withdrawals
from the BNP (a major French bank) on the Rue Soufflot 100 metres from the
Pantheon. Robert could see in his mind all the surrounding areas with the
winding street and the inexpensive sidewalk restaurants where you lined up
to get your food and ate it there often standing up or took it home. As
they sat in the departure area, he told Lucas all about the area. Lucas was
bubbling over with excitement. His excitement jogged Robert's memory; this
was Lucas' first time outside North America.

As they hurtled down the runway, it was Robert who finally muttered wheels
up. He explained the comment to Lucas who was watching with fascination as
the plane quickly gained altitude. He could see kilometres around the city
as the city was left behind them. Now, Paris was only about 7 hours
away. Robert was really pleased that this flight was an early morning
flight so that they would arrive in the late afternoon, early evening. They
had already decided to take the RER train from the airport to the
Luxembourg station a short walk to the apartment. Their cabin luggage was a
backpack each so that they only had to manoeuvre a relatively small
suitcase each.

As Robert had hoped, the skies over France were clear with just small
clouds here and there. Both guys became more excited as they could see the
banlieues of Paris. Lucas was so excited that he grabbed Robert's
hand. They didn't care that they got a knowing smile from the flight
attendant who passed by checking that the seats were up, tables away and
seat belts attached. As they left the plane, the flight attendant did give
them a smile and a wink as he wished them a great time in Paris.

They didn't see a lot of Paris from the train. When they were in central
part of Paris, it was all underground. They did have to change trains at
the Gare du Nord but still no views of Paris. Finally, Lucas was in awe as
he stood on the side of the Blvd. Saint Michel with cars driving by and the
lights and bustle of Paris around him. He couldn't help himself. He grabbed
Robert in a huge hug.

The apartment was spacious and they took the smaller bedroom. They were
hungry and they were soon walking on the small side streets near the
apartment and Robert took Lucas to a small place that sold North African
food that one had to line up for and one ate standing or walking. Lucas
could not stop talking about the walk and the different architecture around
them. They were in line talking to each other when a young man about their
age, leaned over to interrupt the conversation.

"Sorry, I could not help but hear you. You are obviously visitors to
Paris. You speak French fluently but you have an accent that I have never
heard before."

Robert chuckled. "Any guesses?"

"Not Belgian not Swiss." He paused. He smiled. "Just a guess, your clothes
are a bit different, Canadian?"

They nodded yes. "We have literally just arrived this afternoon and we were
hungry. I was here last August and I have brought my friend this time. My
parents arrive next Monday night. Do you live nearby? Do you attend the
Sorbonne?"

"Ah I am studying at the Sorbonne. Just about to start my second year. I am
taking advanced computer technology studies in Computing and Mathematics."

Robert started to laugh. "What a strange coincidence. We live six thousand
kilometres apart and have arrived at the same food stall in Paris.  In
three weeks, I start my second year in Computer Technology!" He
paused. "OK, introductions are in order. I'm Robert."

Lucas stepped forward. "I am Lucas."

"I'm Antoine." Looking at Lucas. "You pronounced your name as the English
or Germans would say it."

In French, "Guilty, my native language is English but I speak
French. Robert and I speak French even at home and around the university."
For the first time ever, Lucas pronounced Robert's name in French.

I have some friends waiting so I have to run. "Could we get together
tomorrow night or Friday night. I know, there is going to be a big party
with dancing on Friday night at the Sorbonne. I could take you as my
guests." Turning to Robert, "I would really like to hear about your courses
and computer languages that you have learned. I would like to find out more
about your university and Canada."

Lucas and Robert looked at each other. Lucas spoke up. "I am not certain
how to put this but what is the attitude to gay couples with you and your
friends."

Laughing, "Shit, this is the 21st century; we don't give a damn. Everyone
is welcome." He looked at them with a smile. "I would never have
guessed. Be careful in some places. There are areas of any city where you
have to watch out what you say and do. I guess your parents know about
you."

"My two dads, Jeremy and Timothy are married."

"Your story gets more and more interesting."

They exchanged emails and telephone numbers. Antoine gave them an address
where they could meet and he would take them to the dance. Friday was the
day and they set a time. He was off quickly to meet his friends.

They meandered a bit more until the yawns started to come frequently. The
both almost dropped into the sofa beside each other. "Robbie, thank you. We
have just arrived. This is so much better than I ever imagined. What a
beautiful area of the city. We have a party on Friday night with students
at the Sorbonne." He leaned over and gave Robert a kiss. "I may be a bit
tired but that is only the start. I need a good hot shower ... with my
guy."

"I think that we may want to change our schedule. I'd like to go to the
Eiffel Tower tomorrow morning. Then stop at the Arc de Triomphe and walk
down the Champs Elysees to the Place de la Concorde and take the Metro back
home. We can wander around here in the late afternoon and evening. Let's do
the Musee d'Orsay on Friday but come back here after and wander, eat and
meet Antoine later."

"Hey, you're the boss. Sounds better than what we had planned. Now a
shower!"

The shower was very stimulating if the profile of their bodies meant
anything. As Robert had muttered, that the damn thing didn't want to go
down. Lucas had a solution for that.

The solution was easy. Make love in Paris for the first time. It was slow
and tender to start but as they touched each other, it became very
active. Both guys shouted the others name as they finished. The best time
came after the finish when they told each other how the other was such an
important part of their life.

They had breakfast and were on the RER very early and arrived at the Eiffel
Tower before it opened. The were amongst the first group to be
admitted. Lucas and Robert as well were enchanted. The views were
spectacular, La Defense, the business area of Paris with its highrises,
Montmatre and Sacre Coeur, the meandering Seine and the Boulevards of
Paris. They did walk over towards the Palais de Chaillot.  However they
only asked some tourists to take their pictures as he had done with his
dads on the same spot where Hitler's picture had been taken so many decades
ago. It was then on the RER to the Arc de Triomphe and a walk down the
Champs Elysees. It was a long walk but they were in good shape and it was
downhill. They arrived at the Place de La Concorde around noon. The decided
to cross the Seine and catch the RER back to the Latin Quarter, the 5th
arrondissement. They found some wonderful food shops along the Blvd Saint
Germain and some of the side streets and they had a feast back at their
apartment.

It had been interesting that they were taken as students at the Sorbonne
several times. Never once were they asked about their French or their
accent. Lucas couldn't stop telling Robert that he was so glad that Robert
had suggested that they always speak French to each other that day, the
previous September.

Both guys were excited with what they had done. They decided that they
would go back out and walk around the Pantheon and perhaps visit it. Which
is exactly what they did. After their visit to the Pantheon, they wandered
and spotted a couple of restaurants that looked interesting so at around 20
hours (8 pm), they went into one which had good reviews. They had dressed
up a bit and the Maitre d' had welcomed them in English and he apologized
when Robert spoke back to him in rapid, excellent French. To Lucas, he
almost sounded like a Parisian. The meal was much better than they had
expected. It was their first meal in Paris at a good restaurant and it had
been good. It would not be their last.

The next day, Lucas enjoyed the Musee d'Orsay as much as Robert had last
year. Robert enjoyed it just as much the second time. They walked many
kilometres that day. They ended up seeing Notre Dame but not going in and
ended up at Place Maubert where the Rue Monge and the Blvd Saint Germain
meet. There were several small shops with bakery goods, a cheese shop, a
delicatessen and small grocery stores. Another feast at home that night
before going out to meet Antoine.

They had a map for the address that Antoine had given them and they were at
the address minutes before the time that they had set. They used the buzzer
for his apartment and they gave their names to a very bright sounding young
lady. She opened the door. If this was his girlfriend or partner, she was
beautiful. From the bedroom, "I'll be out in a minute." A minute later, a
very sophisticated Antoine emerged. Antoine looked at the young
lady. "Sophie, meet the two Canadian guys I met a couple of nights
ago. Robert and Lucas."

The two embraced Sophie and told here who was who. She smiled a very
charming smile. "I understand the unattached girls will be very
disappointed tonight. I understand that you two are together. Pity."

They arrived at the place where the dance was being held. It was a large
space on the grounds of the Sorbonne. It must have been run by an
organization of students in the Sorbonne as the security and bartenders
looked like students. There were already a lot of people drinking and
dancing. They met Antoine's friends who had managed to have a table for all
of them. The guys were introduced all around as the Canadians, Robert and
Lucas, pronounced the French way. They talked and explained to all about
their courses and their university and how it ran. What really interested a
lot of the guys was that they were co-captains of the university ice hockey
team. Finally Antoine and his friends stood up to dance. Antoine looked at
the two guys. "Come on. Dance. You will be with us and I know that there
will be no problems."

All Lucas and Robert could think of was that they were at a student dance
on the grounds of the Sorbonne. Robert's parents would never believe
them. After a set of dancing, they were sitting down and Robert and Antoine
had started to discuss their computer courses. Lucas went off to get some
drinks for them. Robert was explaining the new language that he had learned
and his project. He gave Antoine the link so that he could see it. Quite a
few minutes later, Robert looked up. "Where is Lucas? I don't see him and
he just went off for some drinks."

Someone at the end of the table said that they saw him talking to a couple
of guys and they had walked off with a guy on each side of him. Something
in his mind alerted him; thoughts passed through his brain. Finally, fear
and panic swept through Robert. This was not something that Lucas would
do. "Which way did they go?"

The guy told him. Robert stood up with a look of concern on his
face. Antoine stood up with him. Antoine signalled to a couple of others to
follow them. They walked in the direction indicated by the fellow and there
was no sign of Lucas. They stood and scanned the room where they were
dancing; no Lucas. They checked a washroom, no Lucas. They passed by a
several doors and finally at a door down the hall, they heard muffled
noises and voices. They opened the door.

Lucas had been pushed against the wall and his pants were down and one of
the guys was holding him with Lucas' arm pushed up his back.  Lucas was
shouting at the guys and struggling to to get free. "I'll fucking kill
you. (in English)." The other guy had his pants down and was erect. They
all heard him mutter, "Fucking queer, see if he likes a real man's cock."
He had grabbed hold of Lucas and was ready to enter him but Lucas was
moving and struggling. The guy pushed him hard against the wall. "Stay
still or I'll really hurt you."

Robert screamed and cursed at the guys using his best French Canadian swear
words as he ran towards them. They let go of Lucas and they turned to fight
off Robert and his friends.  Robert rushed the guy who was about to rape
Lucas and punched him in the stomach and as he doubled over, he struck his
chin. The guy went down. The other guy lost all his fight. Lucas pulled up
his pants and literally fell into Robert's arms. Robert grabbed hold of
him. Lucas had obviously tried to fight the guys off. He had a cut on his
face and huge bruise on the left side of his face. He could hear the guy
who had held Lucas' arm up his back muttering about the fucking gays and
they deserved everything they got. Robert wanted to strike out again but he
had his guy in his arms.

"Its OK. We are here. You are OK. Our friends have helped us and have
called the police."

Almost crying, "I feel like a fucking idiot. I think that they saw us
dancing. They recognized my accent and just said that they wanted to talk
about Canada and our university. I didn't realize until it was too late
what was happening. I think that they put something in my drink while we
were talking; my head is swimming and I feel as if I am going to fall
over. I have ruined our night here." His unfocused eyes looked around the
room. "That's my drink over there." Antoine picked it up.

"Lucas, you are not at fault. You were your usual, friendly, trusting
self. They have spoiled our time here. NOT YOU."

They were put in a room with chairs and they stayed until they were
interviewed by the police. They gave statements and Lucas refused any
medical treatments although the police did check him over for broken
bones. One of Antoine's friends had a car and he drove them home. They
couldn't thank the guy enough. Robert held Lucas as he got him up the
stairs. He undressed him and they lay in bed talking with Robert holding
him tightly.

"Robbie, I am so sorry. I have ruined your night." Robert saw the tears
forming. He held Lucas tightly. Lucas started to cry. Robert's only
comment, "Let it out. It ... was ... not your fault; it was those
bastards. You were your good, trusting self. You're OK. You're OK. You are
OK." Finally, his crying became sobs and ended with short intakes of
breath. Robert wanted to reassure him in a very physical way but he knew
that any physical activity would have to wait until his guy came to terms
with what had happened. Eventually they both fell asleep.

Robert woke at sometime in the middle of the night with Lucas holding him
like a life line. Robert needed the bathroom. As he climbed back in to bed,
Lucas' eyes popped open. The tears started again. Robert decided not to
talk. He grabbed his guy and held him tightly. He put hands around Lucas
face and looked into his eyes. He kissed him lightly. Like a drowning man,
Lucas clutched him fiercely and kissed Robert with a deep, intense
kiss. Lucas looked into Robert's eyes. With a smile amidst the tears. "My
hero. Did you break that guy's jaw?"

"I can only hope so. You don't take on the partner of the co-captain of the
hockey team and get out without a bump or two."

Robert kissed him hard and suddenly there was an urgency in their
actions. Robert looked at his guy who was suddenly erect and ready. "Lucas,
take me anyway that you want but I want you in me."

Only minutes later with tears in both their eyes, Robert felt Lucas' rhythm
change and from the cathartic look on Lucas' face, he knew that he was
finishing and that he would be OK. Robert yelled Lucas' name as Lucas had
come out and sucked him to his own cathartic finish. They kissed. They
grabbed each other holding the other as closely as possible. Sleep claimed
them.

If you liked this story, you might want to read the others that I have
published on Nifty. In particular, my first story, Unexpected Change which
has had the most positive comments and one of my other favourites, What a
Difference a Year Makes. I have recently reread Introspection and it is
worth a read, Michael Burtchell's story is in Discoveries; its ending is a
little weak but getting there is fun.
