AND about--" "Yep! Tomorrow! Good idea! How about dinner!" How the fuck was I gonna get outta this one? ***** Beaux Thibodaux 24: A Very "Very" Day Sunday/Monday By Bear Pup ***** The immediate problem was to ensure that I could get past the next hour or so without engaging in conversation. That mean I needed a dinner that was time-consuming and fiddly. Luckily, one of the things we'd gotten at Sage & Spirit was a bag of very nice dried mushroom (yes, I was extremely careful in questioning them on precisely *which* mushrooms were in the mix and that none were in any way magical). I dumped the mushrooms in hot-hot water and covered then with cling-film, then set about dicing shallots and pounding out two pieces of veal to the size of wide dinner plates. I then assembled my pots and pans for the coming battle. Beaux brooded at me for a while then vanished, much to my relief. When the mushrooms were pliable, I drained them and reserved the now-dark liquor they'd produced, adding it with equal parts chicken stock and white wine to a teakettle which went to steam gently on the back burner with a couple grates of nutmeg. Butter went into my tall sauce pan and about half of the shallots were bubbling away in there moments later. I added the rice and cooked until the grains started to go pale at the edges, then added just enough of the liquid from the lightly-steaming teakettle to cover the top edge of the rice. Stirring about every two minutes and making sure the heat was never above a bubble and adding liquid only when the last batch had been absorbed, I went about prepping the rest of the meal. The veal got a nice dose of salt and pepper then a dusting of flour with a pinch of sage and was left to sit on a rack. Snap-peas were next, but took almost no time to clip the end with my thumbnail and pull the strings. Beaux would drop by on occasion, but just scowled for a minute and left each time. There is a point when risotto starts to whiten and soften, my cue to start the rest. A small pan got half the remaining shallots and the mushrooms, then a shot of stock before being relegated to a back burner. Veal does best with minimum handling, so a flash-fry on each side in the cast iron skillet was all that was required. I moved them to already-warmed plates, lowered the heat and dumped in the snaps, some butter and the remaining shallots, using what little faun had come from the veal as the only real flavor other than some salt and pepper. As soon as the edges changed color, in went the lemon juice and on went the lid. The mushrooms went into the risotto when the grains were nearly tender (yes, I like overcooked risotto; sue me) with the last dash of liquid and I stirred gently and constantly until I got the consistency I liked then grated in a ludicrous amount of Romano cheese. I hollered for Beaux as I plated. The veal was perfect, covering the entire plate with the juices pooled below. One third of it got covered with the risotto and another third with the snaps. I slid Beaux his plate as he sat down. He moaned low and long, reaching for the lemon wedges in the bowl; it was the only thing needed to make the entire meal pop with flavor. The dinner went very well, all things considered. The long cooling-off period and the excellent meal meant Beaux was far less combative and I sighed with relief... ...for about eight seconds before the phone rang. A glance at Beaux's face made me pray, for the first time in my life, that the person on the other end would be a telemarketer. 'Yes! I'd VERY much like to hear about the advantaged of awnings!' "This is Kevin. May I help you?" A deep purr came through, "I've missed your voice all day." "Me too..." God, I sounded like a schoolgirl. "I pulled a double or I would have called earlier. I'm dead on my feet but couldn't stomach the idea of crashing before I talked to you." "I very am glad you... well. So uh...?" "By the way, what did you do to Will? He looked like he'd been through half his own pharmacy. He just smiled dreamily and said, 'Kevin says hi...', like it was the only thing he could remember." I laughed. "Sorry to disappoint you, but that was all Beaux." "Well, tell Beaux that whatever he did worked! So, um, when can, well, do you want to, uh, can we maybe meet again sometime?" "I would like that very much. But let's talk later. You sound absolutely exhausted." He did, too. "Get some sleep and we'll take during the week, maybe?" I wasn't honestly sure that he was still completely awake when he hung up. He murmured, "Oh, that sounds great. G'night, baby." He said... baby! All my innards melted at once. I felt like a helium balloon, all floaty and fly-away.... again for about eight seconds until I caught Beaux's smirk. "Just stay calm? Nice of him to call? Just let this be simple and easy? Be all cool and collected? That you being cool and collected, Oncle? You didn't mention I was supposed to blush pink and look like I was gonna fall over." Beaux was enjoying this waaaaaay too much. "Just so you'll know, what you said to Will this afternoon?" Beaux's face went white, then red. "Well, apparently, he looked like he'd been hit over the head all day at work. Hans said, and I quote, 'tell Beaux that whatever he did worked,' and Will 'looked like he'd been through half his own pharmacy.' And I'll blush as I please, young man. Apparently, though, we both got through last night's party quite well, and made a great impression... on at least two of them anyway." I giggled, which seemed to startle Beaux until he joined. We ended up reading for a while then going to bed. Morning dawned and, for some reason, the Tala Torture just didn't hurt as much that morning. I even pushed myself to make up for slacking the day before. We again steam-showered together before breakfasting on granola and yoghurt, which Beaux had converted me to the previous Thursday, and a meal of which Tala wholeheartedly approved. I set an alarm for 9:00 as Beaux set to his homework and I to mine. We both scowled at the little clock when it went off, trying to figure out why some damned little box was interrupting us. Yes, Beaux had plenty of Faolan genes in there. Beaux's scowl turned murderous when I reminded him that he needed to call Will back. "Non. Un point c'est tout. Not going to happen. I ain't picking up that phone, me!" I sighed. "It's okay, Beaux. I understand. It's a *very* big step. You don't have to." He only relaxed marginally, knowing that something was up. "I just feel so very bad for Will." "For WILL?!?" "Well, of course. Will sitting there, waiting for you to call. Checking the phone every few minutes to see if it's really working. And just," deep sigh, "nothing. I mean, it's a really big effort for you to dial, what, seven digits? Say hello? Be nice? I'm sure he won't *really* mind sitting there for hours and hours, so very, very long... waiting, wondering. I know; it's just too much to ask--" "Oh, shut up, you." He was clearly furious and also trying not to laugh, which made him even madder. He punched the numbers so hard I saw him wince once. "This is Beaux, Will." His scowl melted instantly. "Oh, no, Will. My Oncle was just being a, well, never mind. No, of course I'm not upset. I miss talking to you, too." Beaux turned fully away and lowered him voice. "And you're silly. That's so... why... no, now, hush. You're sweet. Yes, I really want to see you again. Hans called Kevin," he turned to smirk at me, "and my Oncle was just floating around like a butterfly after. It was the funniest thing. Yes, I'm betting that's why he said double-date. Yes, I promise to call when we know when. Yes, I miss you; of course I do. You get some sleep now, cher. Bye." Yep, the whole Faolan-gene thing was in full swing. We had matching narrow-eyed challenge-glares for each other as the call ended. "You know, Beaux, I love you deeply and that will never change. But you can be a real prick sometimes." "Well, Oncle, I guess that means you been teaching me real well." I could not help but laugh aloud as he strutted off to the restroom. The rest of the morning flew by and I broke at noon to start lunch. Nothing special today, just a clean salad with a couple grilled chicken breasts and parmesan dressing. Afterwards, I reviewed Beaux's morning work as he tackled the next task. Around 2:00, we dressed (both rather reluctantly) to head to our weekly purgatorial appointment with Dr Silvers. We were about halfway there when I realized that I was about to be in trouble. I groaned and Beaux asked the problem. "I was told you had to know about oral *and anal* sex before today! He's gonna be all, you know, about it." "Oh, I dunno, Oncle. Let's just see..." He had a small smile that worried me more than Dr Silvers! We got there nearly fifteen minutes early and a very disgruntled teen, perhaps a year younger than Beaux, stormed out, followed by a fearful looking man who must have been his father. Dr Silvers was there, speaking softly and comfortingly to the father who finally turned and left. There was real sadness on the young doctor's face as the pair left. He sighed and turned to us. "Gentlemen, it will be just a few minutes." True to his word, he was only gone perhaps five minutes before he was back and ushered us into his office. We sat as we had several times, with Beaux on one end of the couch and me on the other. "Well, let's start with homework. Beaux, do you feel that you're comfortable with what oral and anal sex entails?" "Oral, yessir, but not Anal." I saw the 'angry teacher' look coming but Beaux cut him off without a thought. "We focused on how to survive a party instead. Kevin took me to my very first cocktail party and I met all sorts of people, including one who actually called me back! I was so shocked!" "Well, Kevin, I have to say that I *am* impressed. Not only did you get Beaux to socialize, it sounds like he actually enjoyed it." I just smiled at Beaux. "Oh, God, I was so nervous I thought I'd die! I almost got sick all over the car on the way. But Hans, you know Hans, he was so nice and Kevin made sure that everything went okay." "So, I have to ask even though it's probably none of my business. Which one of you has Hans so distracted lately? You, Beaux, or you uncle?" "Turns out he has the hunger for my Oncle, but he's so nice. And I don't mind, really. I found somebody I like even better, I think..." "We'll get to that later, when Kevin and his near-lethal blush are at a safer distance. So you understand the mechanics of a blow job?" "Yessir, and I was able to get Barry -- do you know Barry? Kevin's friend what cleans the house and all? -- to, um," Beaux blushed deeply, "give me a much better understanding." Dr Silvers laughed outright. "Well, you've certainly taken to your new world, Beaux! Kevin, why don't you wait outside while I chat with Beaux. I will say this, though: You get a gold star today." I retired at speed and settled into my book before anything could go wrong. It seemed all too short a time when he came back. Beaux was scowling. Uh oh. "Tell me about the appointment with Dr Baskin." "Um, well, it's set for day after tomorrow." "And why not sooner?" "I, uh, well, we got distracted. With Beaux's schooling started and all the other stuff happening--" "You blew it off. You know, you can simply tell me stuff. It's not like I can send you to bed without supper. Oh, speaking of which, telling Beaux that he could have lunch only if he was 'ready to be a civil human being again'?" I started to puff up in defense. "Excellent job." My jaw dropped and Beaux steamed. "A healthy boy like Beaux won't die from missing a couple of meals, and an empty stomach is a damned fine teaching aid. It is one of the few 'old school' punishments that I condone. "Regardless, I am very unhappy that you delayed. Julia is a superb counsellor and giving Beaux half the facts on sexuality is both unhealthy and unfair. On the other hand, I want to tell you that I heartily approve of both your restrictions and conditions on Beaux's association with Will, and with the association in general. I don't know Will, but Beaux seems very interested." I was slightly floored. I did TWO things right? "Your instincts, though, are important, Kevin. Don't let this move to fast or too far. Barry is a friend giving a {smirk/eyebrow-waggle} helping hand. Will sounds like he and Beaux might form an actual bond, perhaps a relationship. You are old enough to make sure it has a chance to develop and not become a sex-for-sex's-sake event. As you can see from Beaux's posture and expression, he is less than thrilled with this, which makes me pretty sure it's a good call to slow things down a bit. Think high school dance instead of Studio 54." I smiled at that a little and Dr Silvers noticed. "If he puts up a fuss, you have my number. If he REALLY puts up a fuss, I suggest you give him a day or two of dry salad, bread and milk. No one can starve on such a diet and the roughage might do him as much good as the lesson itself." The look on Beaux's face was priceless. I could see him thinking of the card he had with Judge Bank's number, then considering what the hard-shelled, soft-hearted and no-nonsense judge would make of such a complaint. That he considered this torture of the first degree and utterly beyond the realms of civilized behavior was clear. If you'd asked him in that moment whom to feed to the gators first, Dr Silvers would have given Tala a run for his money. "Now, the same goes with Dr Baskin. I'll be talking to Julia Wednesday night. If I find out that Beaux failed to appear for any reason short of hospitalization or death, I will issue a written prescription that says Beaux gets not a single dash of herbs, spices, salt, pepper or sauce on *anything* for a week, and no meat, sweets, butter or cheese either." Beaux literally gasped at that. "And you, Kevin, WILL be explaining the mechanics of anal sex to Beaux in the next week. If you don't, I can't exactly threaten you with dire dietary consequences. I can, however, call this Tala person and calmly explain, one professional to another, that you have chosen to slack off on Beaux's education and ask if he has any ideas that might help me with the two of you." "You wouldn't!" "Try me." There was a steely glint there that I knew meant he was actually relishing the thought. Damn. I fucking hate smart people. "Lastly, and you're both going to hate this one, I want you to find out the names of the two young men around Beaux's age from the party and see if they might be willing to do some joint activity. Maybe bowling, though I think it's out of fashion. I want Beaux to start socializing with people his own age and they are the perfect place to start. "Kevin, make sure it happens, please. Beaux, be nice and also find out if they have other friends you might meet, boys *and girls*. I know you can be nice and charming to strangers; you proved that at the party. For the first couple times, it's fine if Kevin goes, but I want you also to make some friends that you meet or invite over without Kevin hanging around. We can't have you turning Kevin into some sort of life preserver that you cling to. Do you understand what I'm asking? Good enough; I speak 'Grunt' and take that as a yes. "Kevin, I want to know that Beaux has spent time with at least a couple people his age by the next appointment or a damned good reason he hasn't. And," he added a little singsong to his voice, "'I just didn't get to it' is, to be clear, NOT a good reason. So, any questions before I wrap this up?" "Um, can I, um... Oh, hell. Beaux, I have a question I'm embarrassed to ask in front of you. I promise to tell you after, but can I have a minute with Dr Silvers, if it's okay with you, too, doctor?" Beaux was out the door before I could blink and Dr Silvers just chuckled and said, "I guess that's a 'yes'. What can I do for you, Kevin." "How the FUCK do I teach him about anal sex?!?" I nearly exploded and he just smiled wider. "No! Don't you go smiling like that. What do I tell him? It's not like anyone taught ME. I don't know what to say!" "Okay, just to be clear I am not a medical doctor and if you hyperventilate I have to call an ambulance like anyone else, so please breath a teensy bit slower? Now, Beaux tells me that you have a 'funny-shaped' showerhead in your bathroom's tub? I assume from his description -- and your sudden approach to a fainting spell when I mention it -- that it's an enema hose? You clean up before a big date, obviously, or you wouldn't have it in your bathroom. Start there. "You know, and this isn't going to make you any happier, you sound very much like a chicken when you splutter like that. Good, at least you're back to awareness enough to get pissed off. Kevin, as far as I can tell, Beaux has no significant body modesty or taboos. This is entirely you, Kevin. You're not worried about offending or even shocking Beaux, but about your reaction to showing him this. That sex is often dirty and nasty and messy is something he'll learn quick, so he might as well learn it from you. "You asked my advice. Here it is: Clean yourself out, help Beaux do the same, then walk him through lube, relaxing the sphincter and massaging the prostate. We both know from his original appointment with Rob that he has a very sensitive one and will thoroughly enjoy the exercise. And before your head explodes, I am damned sure you've had your finger up more butts than the average proctologist, so don't look at me like that. I am not suggesting that you two fuck; far from it. But at least let him know what the moving parts do." "You done forgot how to start it?" Beaux's voice came through the cotton wool. I turned to him. We were in the Celica. Fuck if I knew how I got there. I reached down and turned the key. "So, what you and Silvers talk about? You just sorta wandered out to the car, got in and you been sitting there for near five minutes, Oncle. You okay?" I just blinked at him for a moment and drove. "Actually, I don't honestly know. But tonight's talk will be very, um, well... It will be very... just 'very' really."
