Readers Note: Devyn's Struggle has grown far beyond what I had originally
conceived. I never imagined it having over sixty chapters. I thought that
since Devyn has grown and even taken a new name that starting Book two of
his story was a clever idea. The events in this first chapter of Book 2
start off while Devyn is on the way home from visiting Brent in the
hospital and that uncomfortable visit with his mom, Judy. They correspond
to the events in the recently posted chapter to Brent's Struggle. I'll be
looking forward to your comments. You can send them to me at
keith.96@att.net. I do not believe that you have to read Brent's Struggle
to follow the storyline but it might help. You can find Brent's struggle

Devyn's Struggle
Book 2
Chapter 1

Charlie felt his phone vibrate and pulled it from his pocket. He read the
message from Devyn and felt his heart drop. Devyn would not be coming back
for another day. For Charlie, it felt like his friend had been gone longer
than just this long weekend. The school day had felt longer without Devyn
there. Sure, he had hung out more with Sam and spent time with other
friends but he had missed seeing Devyn. It felt like something was working
to keep them apart. Charlie typed back a response. He wanted to say
more. He wanted to tell Devyn how much he missed him. He wanted to tell him
that he had all of these feelings for him but he did not know how to say
that without sounding stupid.

"Are you on that phone again?"

Charlie jumped and almost dropped his phone. He had not heard his father
come into the storage room where Charlie had been working. "Um...I was..."

"Look, Charlie, you are supposed to be here working. We aren't paying you
to play on your phone."

"I was just sending a quick text." Charlie knew it had been more than just
a quick text. He and Devyn needed to talk, at least Devyn had told him
that. Devyn had something he wanted to tell Charlie but not through a text
or over the phone. It made Charlie's stomach twist into knots. He hoped
Devyn was not dumping him. He did not know if he could handle that.

"That was more than just a single text," Howard senior stated.

"Well, it might have been a couple texts," Charlie admitted.

"Again, you aren't being paid to text your friends. Whatever it is can wait
until you see them at school tomorrow."

That would be true if Devyn were coming back today but according to the
text Charlie had just read, Devyn would be gone tomorrow too. He was
supposed to be back today but then had stayed away another day. Now it
looked like he was going to be gone yet another day. Charlie felt his phone
vibrate and could not stop himself from looking at the screen. "I want us
to talk. Can you come out after school one night this week?" Charlie's
heart started beating faster at the message from Devyn. He wanted to see
him and he wanted to spend some time alone with him. They had not had a
chance to be alone together for what felt like months.

"Sure, I'll make any night work." Charlie was excited and hoped that Devyn
wanted to see him and did not want to end their relationship. It had barely
gotten started.

"Really Charlie..." The frustration was evident in Charlie's father's
voice. "You are going to stand there and text right in front of me..."

"Um, well, um..."

Howard reached over and plucked the phone from his son's hand. "I'll just
keep this. Now get the tools loaded onto the truck. We've got a job out at
Patterson's."

"But, but..."

"No buts Charlie. You can text your friends after you're done working."
Howard turned and left his son to load the truck.

# # # #

"Where have you been?" Charlie's brother, Howard, asked when Charlie
stepped into the office at the hardware store. "You were supposed to be
here working."

"I was working." Charlie could not keep the annoyance out of his voice. "I
was..."

Howard cut off Charlie's words. "I gave you jobs to do and you weren't here
doing them."

"I was on a..."

"You were off screwing off again with one of your loser friends."

Charlie was growing more annoyed with his brother by the moment. The older
boy was not even giving Charlie a chance to say where he was. He had only
gotten back from the job with his father a few moments ago. "Look, I don't
have to explain myself to you, but I was..."

Howard once again cut off Charlie's words. "I'm in charge here. You need to
learn that little brother."

Charlie snorted. "Look. I was not with a friend. I was on a job."

"Sure, you were." Howard laced his voice with skepticism. "There were no
jobs booked today. I've got it right here in front of me." Howard tapped
the computer screen.

"Just check with Dad. He's the one in charge HERE." Charlie added extra
emphasis to the word. It was then that Charlie noticed what Howard had in
his hand. "Is that my phone!"

"Yeah, it was on my desk."

"That's Dad's desk. Give me my phone." Charlie was having a tough time
keeping his anger out of his voice.

"I was unlocking it to see..."

"Stay out of my phone." Charlie's voice was getting louder. He knew Howard
would not figure out his passcode but it did not stop Charlie from starting
to lose his temper. He never wanted Howard or anyone else to see what was
on his phone or the string of messages between him and Devyn.

"Hopefully you don't have some dirty pictures of yourself on here." Howard
started putting in a code to unlock the phone.

"Knock it off and give me my phone!" Charlie could not stop the panic from
lacing his voice. He knew mentally that Howard would never unlock the
phone. It was because of Howard that Charlie had set it so none of his
messages ever showed up on the lock screen.

"What got some texts from a girlfriend you don't want me to read?" Howard's
voice had a touch of scorn to it.

"Give me my phone!"

"Is that what it is?" Howard's lips curved up into a sly smile. "You be
texting girls pictures of your little dick..."

"You're perverted." Charlie did have pictures on there that he did not want
Howard or anyone else to see. He did not have any of the types of pictures
that Howard was referring to. At least not of himself or Devyn. Not that
Charlie would have minded having pictures of Devyn. He did have some but
Devyn was dressed in them. Charlie would not have been able to stop himself
from looking at naked pictures of Devyn. The boy was so damn hot. He was
hot regardless of if he was dressed or undressed. Charlie pushed the
thoughts of Devyn naked out of his head. "Give it to me."

"I'm just a red-blooded American male. I actually hope that I find some
naughty pictures of girls on here. The word is you are still hanging out
with that faggot."

"Shut UP!" Charlie knew that Howard was referring to Devyn. Although he
could be just as likely referring to Sam. Charlie moved towards the desk
and Howard. "Just give me my phone. I want to go home and clean up."

"Did you get all your work done?" Howard was attempting to type in another
passcode on the phone. He had tried dates of birth and that was not
unlocking the phone. He tried to think of something else that Charlie might
use.

"My shift is over." Charlie reached for his phone but Howard pulled it out
of his reach. "Give that to me!"

"Not until you're finished..."

"I'm finished for tonight. Dad said..."

"I said you need to finish the jobs you were assigned."

"Give me my fucking phone!" Charlie's voice was getting louder. His fingers
were curled into a fist. He wanted so badly to punch the smug look off
Howard's face. Charlie was beginning to understand better the side of
Howard that Sam had seen for all these years.

"Wow, such language from you little bro. Just what is on here?" Howard was
holding Charlie's phone out of the younger boy's reach. "Did some girl send
you pictures of her boobies?"

"You're sick."

"Oh, that is it. you got porn on here, don't you? You got some big breasted
women doing it doggie style?"

"It's none of your business what's on my phone. Now give me my fucking
phone!"

"Oh wow, such language from the little boy. Mom's going to be washing that
mouth out with dish soap."

Charlie grabbed Howard and spun the desk chair around. He grabbed his phone
but Howard was not letting go. "Give me my phone."

The two started struggling over the phone. As they struggled, the chair
that Howard was in began to tip. It went over with a loud crash and the
phone slipped from Howard's grasp to slide across the floor.

"What the hell is going on in here!" The boy's father was standing in the
doorway. He had heard the raised voices and had come to see what his sons
were arguing about.

Charlie scrambled and grabbed his phone from the floor before turning to
face his father. "I just came to get my phone before going home."

"That damn phone again," Howard shook his head.

"He knocked me over to get to it," Howard said. He was getting up off the
floor and sitting the chair back up.

"If you hadn't been messing with it..."

"I think Charlie's got naughty pictures on there. You should make him show
you."

"I've seen dirty pictures before." Howard turned from his oldest son to his
youngest. "I would hope you would not have that on your phone."

Charlie could feel his ears burn. "Um, there's no..."

Howard cut over his brother's words. "Or maybe he's got a secret girlfriend
he's been sending dirty pictures to."

"I hope you aren't doing that." Charlie's father doubted that his son would
be sending pictures like that. He would expect that more from his older
son.

"I'm not. Can I go ahead and go home and get cleaned up?"

"I was telling him he had to finish his work before calling his
girlfriend."

"His shift is over," Howard told his older son. "Go on and go Charlie."

"But he slacked off. He didn't get the stuff done I told him to do. He
tried to feed me some bullshit story about a job..."

"Which is true," Howard stated. "We got a last-minute job. I haven't even
had a chance to put it in the computer yet."

"See, I told you that." Charlie could not keep the triumph from his voice.

# # # # # #

"Hey Charlie, I didn't see you before class this morning." Sam could see
and almost feel the cloud of anger around Charlie. "Um...how's it going?"

Charlie took an open seat next to Sam at the lunch table. Julie and Stacy
were sitting across the table from the boys.

"You, um, look upset," Julie said. "Is everything alright?"

"He does not look happy," Stacy commented.

That was an understatement. He was less than happy. He had been late to
school and been busted by Tanner. He was sure that Tanner would be calling
his folks and he would end up being grounded.

"Is Devyn back?" Stacy asked. "We've got a rehearsal tomorrow and then a
full-dress rehearsal this Saturday." They did not have much time before
their opening night. Well, it was only one night but it would be their big
debut.

"He texted me. He's on his way back. They should get in this afternoon."
Sam looked at Charlie who was still scowling and not eating.

"How did things go for him?" Julie asked. Her voice was filled with her
concern. "I know it was going to be a rough weekend with him seeing his
parents."

"He didn't really tell me. He did say you weren't texting him back." Sam
turned to Charlie. "What's up with that?"

"My fucking dick head of a brother!"  Charlie's voice was louder than he
intended and voices around him dropped their conversations.

"Wow!" Sam said. "What did he do?" It was unusual for Charlie to say
anything negative about Howard. For the longest time Charlie had admired
his older brother but it seemed that was changing.

"He fucked up my phone." Charlie had lowered his voice but his anger was
still evident.

"How'd he do that?" Stacy asked.

"He entered the wrong code too many times and it's locked." Charlie had
tried unlocking his phone but had not been able to do that. He had messed
with it this morning and that had caused him to be late for school.

"Why was he messing with your phone?" Julie asked.

"Because he's a dick!" As his anger was getting the better of him,
Charlie's voice rose again.

"Well, I've always said that..." At the look from Charlie Sam's words
trailed off. Sam pulled his own phone from his pocket. "I'll, um, tell
Devyn your phone's messed up. You can come over after school and we can see
what we can do." Sam's fingers were typing the message to Devyn.

"Thanks."

"Tell Devyn we've got a rehearsal tomorrow," Stacy said. "Simon will give
him a ride home."

"Ask him how he's doing," Julie added. "Let him know we are concerned.

"Also tell him there is a test tomorrow..."

"Hey!" Sam cut in. "I'm not Devyn's personal assistant. You guys text him
yourselves."

# # # #

Thanks for trying to fix my phone," Charlie said as he and Sam entered
Sam's room.

"Not a big deal," Sam said. "Did Howard do more than just mess up your
phone?" Sam was already working on Charlie's phone.

"He's been such an ass," Charlie said. He flopped down on Sam's bed.

"Um, Charlie," Sam's voice was soft as he was trying not to tick Charlie
off more. "Howard's always kind of been that way."

"He's never been like this before. It is like something changed while he
was at college last year. I wish he had never taken this year off."

Sam did not feel that Howard had changed. In Sam's opinion, Howard was the
same dick he had always been. The only thing different was how Charlie was
now seeing the truth. "Um, what do you think changed?"

"I don't know. He doesn't like my friends. He doesn't like how I do my job
at the store. He just doesn't seem to like anything." Charlie half wanted
Howard to go back to college and not come back until Charlie himself went
away to college. Then Charlie felt bad for thinking that. He and Howard had
been so close when they were younger.

"Well, um, Charlie you know he's never been, ah, all that nice to me." Sam
was working on resetting Charlie's phone.

Charlie looked over at Sam. Sam's back was to him as Sam was looking
something up on Google. "I guess that is true. I'm, um, sorry that I always
defended him to you. He's a fucking dick head. I just was stupid and didn't
see it."

Sam turned in surprise. "Wow, I, ah, wasn't sure you would ever see him for
the...er..." Sam had been about to say asshole but wasn't sure if Charlie
would be mad enough at Howard for that reference.

"Fucking dush bag he is," Charlie provided.

"Well...ah...yeah." Sam was a bit surprised at Charlie's change towards
Howard. Sam wondered if it was more than just locking up Charlie's phone
that had Charlie pissed off at his brother.

"You know he actually thinks, um, you and Devyn are like boyfriends."
Charlie was curious about Sam's reaction to that. Maybe this was the right
time to tell Sam.

"WHAT?" Sam's voice rose a few octaves.

"Yeah," he said that a couple of times. I think it's because of that trip
that Devyn went on with you.  I told him he was clueless."

"He's fucking crazy. I mean don't get me wrong I like Devyn. He's a cool
friend but that's it. You know we're not, right?"

"Of course, Sam...I've seen you get excited when a girl just looks at you."
Charlie almost added that he was Devyn's boyfriend. But were they? They had
never really defined their relationship. They had danced around it a bit
but were they boyfriends? Charlie was not sure. He wanted them to be but
from the messages about them needing to talk, Charlie wasn't sure
anymore. Did he want to come out to Sam and then be dumped by the only
other gay guy in school? No, he did not want that humiliation. Charlie let
out a sigh. He needed to wait until after he and Devyn could talk.

"Right, I'm a stud with the girls."

Charlie could not stop the laughter. "You mean a dud with the girls."

"HEY!" Sam cried in outrage. He dropped Charlie's phone and jumped up. He
turned and leaped onto the bed to pin Charlie down. "Take that back
dickwad!"

"No, no, you're a dud." Charlie was laughing and trying to push Sam off of
him.

The two began wrestling as they tried to pin the other one down. It only
took a few moments before Sam's mom yelled at them to "knock it off!"

"Sorry, sorry," Charlie said out of breath. "I'll take it back."

"You had better," Sam said. He rested there next to Charlie panting.

Janet stuck her head into Sam's room. "Dinner will be ready soon. Are you
staying, Charlie?"

"Um, no I had better get home. I didn't tell Mom I was coming over here
after school."

"Then either call her or get your rear end home."

"Sam got up from the bed and went to where he had dropped Charlie's
phone. "If you want, I'll keep messing with this."

"Yes, if you can. I couldn't figure it out."

"You know...um...what I read before we started fighting was that it might
have to be reset. Do you have your stuff backed up?"

"I think so," Charlie said. "You know this computer crap drives me crazy."

"Yeah, you turn a smartphone into a dumb phone."

"Dick!" This time it was Charlie who pounced on Sam.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" Janet yelled.

"I'll see what I can do with the phone," Sam said.

"Um...have you heard back from Devyn?" Charlie was trying to not sound too
interested but he wanted to know if Devyn would be back to school tomorrow.

"He's so lucky," Sam said. He pulled out his own phone. "Look at this cool
cabin Joe took them to." Sam held his phone out so Charlie could see the
picture Devyn had sent. "Joe is so awesome letting him skip school for
another day."

"It does look cool," Charlie said.

"They get back tomorrow and then he'll be back at school the next day. I'm
sure he's enjoying his trip...well at least this last part of it. The crap
with his folks sounded bad."

"Yeah, it did."

"I guess sometimes we forget how good we got it. Of course, neither of us
is gay but if I were, my mom wouldn't kick me out."

Charlie bit his lower lip. He wasn't sure what his folks would do. His Mom
might have been able to handle it but he wasn't sure about his dad. The
comments Charlie had overheard at the family reunion were not the best. He
thought maybe his father might be more like his brother in that. "I guess I
had better get going. I've got homework to do and Mom's probably wondering
where I am."

"Well tell her to be pissed at Howard, He's the one that fucked up your
phone."

"Yeah, if it only worked that way. You know they never get mad at
Howard. He's the golden child." Charlie used a word that he had heard Sam
refer to Howard. Of course, when Sam used it, it sounded like an insult.

"That's because he was a football star and all," Sam said.

"They still think he's a star." Although as Charlie said the words, they
were not as true as before. There was some tension between his brother and
their parents. No one had told him exactly what it was but Howard had done
something to be a bit tarnished in their eyes. Of course, Howard has been
different since coming back from college. How Charlie wished his brother
had gone back to school this year. Taking the year off to learn the
business had been a cool idea at first but then Howard was being a royal
ass to Charlie. Now Charlie just wanted him gone. Then he and Devyn could
hang out at his house every day after school or at least most days.

"He's never been as big a star as they think." Sam had never thought Howard
was the better Atwood. He had always thought Charlie should have received
more of his folks' praise. Sam knew they had never put Charlie down for not
being a jock like Howard but when Howard was on the football team, they had
gone on and on about him. It made Sam want to gag.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Charlie said as he was leaving Sam's.

# # # #

Charlie could hear the bus disappearing down the road as he walked towards
the farmhouse with Devyn. He waited another moment and then reached over
and took Devyn's hand. "I...um...am glad you invited me out." Travis was
walking in front of them as they made their way to the bridge.

Devyn squeezed Charlie's hand. Like Charlie, Devyn was glad the other boy
could come out after school. He wanted to spend time with Charlie and he
knew they needed to talk. Devyn wanted to tell Charlie about Brent and that
he would be going back to see Brent soon. He had planned on doing it this
weekend but there was a rehearsal that he could not miss. Devyn had
considered pushing that visit off for a few weeks but knew he and Brent
also needed to talk. They had not been able to do that with Brent half out
of it due to the accident and the medication. It seemed to Devyn like he
was being pulled in different directions. He was being pulled by the blonde
boy holding his hand and by the other blonde boy tugging at his heart.

Devyn was upset with himself for not still being angry with Brent. He
wanted to turn his back on Brent like Brent had done to him, but he could
not do that. Part of Devyn still cared for Brent. That part would not let
Devyn just walk away from Brent.

Devyn glanced over at Charlie. He felt his heart speed up when his eyes met
Charlie's. Charlie squeezed his hand and Devyn felt a fluttering in his
stomach. He could remember this feeling. It was similar to how he had felt
when he and Brent would touch. There might have been more excitement then
because it was all new. Now Devyn had more experience but the fluttery
feeling was still there.

Part of Devyn wanted to stop right there in the middle of the road and pull
Charlie against him. He wanted to kiss those inviting lips. He wanted to
feel Charlie's body pressing against him. He wanted to be held in Charlie's
arms.

"You know I am surprised you missed the rehearsal yesterday. I'm surprised
Stacy didn't have a meltdown." Charlie had wanted to come out yesterday
after school but he had to do his shift at the hardware store. Plus, with
Devyn just getting back, Charlie knew that Devyn and Joe would be busy
getting caught up on chores.

"It gave my understudy a chance to rehearse." Devyn squeezed Charlie's
hand. He wished Charlie were in the play. He would not mind having the
kissing scene with the blonde boy. Of course, Devyn knew he might not be
able to stop with just a single kiss.

"Um, everything alright?" Charlie thought Devyn was being a little quiet
and was looking at him a bit oddly.

"Sure, why?"

"Well...um...you just looked...well...kind of odd."

"Odd? Well, I'm just...um...thinking. I'm glad you could come out. I was
afraid that you would have to work at the store."

"Howard wanted me to but I blew him off."

"Is he in charge of the store?" Devyn was a little confused how this
running of the store was going to work. He knew that there had been some
plan that Howard would take over the store but he wasn't sure how the plan
involved Charlie. It always felt like this plan was leaving Charlie out in
the cold.

"He thinks he is but, um, Mom put him in his place over the weekend."
Charlie had still felt the tension at home over whatever had transpired
between his mom, Barb, and Howard. He had only been there for her to get
him out of spending the whole weekend with Howard at the store. Then he had
taken off to Sam's as he could tell his mom was not happy with Howard.

"I like your mom." Devyn liked knowing that Charlie's Mom might be seeing
Howard for the prick the guy was.

Charlie heard barking and looked up toward the farmhouse on the hill. He
could see the dog starting to run towards them. The older dog, Barkley,
waited at the top of the hill by the gate to the yard. Travis started
running towards the younger dog.

"They act like they haven't seen each other for days," Charlie commented as
Travis and the dog were running towards each other.

"It is the same every night," Devyn said. His lips were smiling as he
watched Travis and the dog. Travis started racing the dog up the
hill. Charlie and Devyn were just crossing the bridge. "You should have
seen them when we got home yesterday. They went nuts. You would have
thought we were gone for weeks."

To Charlie, it had felt like Devyn had been gone for weeks. He had missed
seeing him at school and he had missed touching him. "It did kind of feel
that way."

Devyn stopped on the bridge. He turned to Charlie. The two boys were still
holding hands. "You missed me?"

Charlie could feel his ears burn a bit but he admitted the truth. "I
did. You were not in school on Friday and then I couldn't see you over the
weekend. You were going to be back on Sunday but then it got pushed to
Monday and then Tuesday. It felt like you were never coming back."

"I like that you missed me." Devyn squeezed Charlie's hand. He started to
lean in and kiss Charlie but the dog pushed between them. Travis had run
back to the bridge. "You two going to kiss again?"

"Well, I was thinking about it," Devyn signed to Travis. "That was until
you rudely interrupted us."

"You two kiss too much." Travis started to walk back towards the house but
Devyn stopped him.

"Wait one second," Devyn signed. "What about that girl you've been kissing
on the playground?"

"Only a couple of times." Travis blushed and glanced at Charlie.

"Oh, you've been kissing girls, huh?" Devyn had spoken the words and
Charlie signed his response as best he could. He hadn't practiced ASL in a
while and was still learning.

"You didn't have to tell him!" Travis punctuated his words by stomping his
foot.

"It's alright," Charlie signed. "I won't tell and I used to kiss girls on
the playground too."

"You did?" Travis was a little calmer with Charlie's words.

"You did?" Devyn's lips curved into a half smile. "Do I need to be
jealous?"

"Yes, I did. Behind that big old tree behind the swings."

"That's where we kissed." Travis seemed a little excited that he and
Charlie were kissing girls behind the same tree.

"It's perfect because the teachers can't see you," Charlie said.

"I know." Travis was grinning impishly at Charlie.

"So do I need to be jealous about this girl you've been kissing?" There was
a hint of a teasing tone in Devyn's voice.

"No, I'm, um, not into girls. I really wasn't into girls then either."

"So, who was this girl?" They had started walking again towards the
house. "Anyone I know?"

"Stacy," Charlie said. "We were in fourth grade...or third grade. I
forget."

"Well, I've kissed Stacy too so I guess it's alright."

"You've what?" Charlie's voice rose an octave.

"As part of the play," Devyn explained.

"Oh, sure..."

Devyn lightly punched Charlie's arm and then took his hand again. "I think
you're a better kisser."

Charlie felt a warm feeling in his belly holding Devyn's hand. "You know
this is a nice walk but isn't it cold in the winter? It isn't that far but
when the wind is blowing and there is snow on the ground..."

"If it's bad, Joe meets us at the corner with the truck."

Charlie and Devyn started up the hill. Travis had already reached the
top. He paused to scratch Barkley and then headed up the sidewalk toward
the house.

"Do you have a lot of homework tonight?" Charlie knew Devyn had missed a
little school and hoped that Devyn wouldn't have to spend most of the
afternoon doing homework.

"Not much and nothing that can't wait." Devyn wanted to spend time with
Charlie and not doing his homework. He knew the two of them needed to talk
and he was not sure how knowing Brent was back in the picture would affect
them. Devyn wasn't even sure how it affected him.

"I don't want you to get behind."

They had reached the top of the hill. Barkley limped out to greet Devyn. "I
don't. Don't worry. I want to spend time with you." Devyn reached down and
scratched the dog. "Hi, buddy."

Hearing that from Devyn gave Charlie a warm feeling in his belly. He wanted
to spend time with Devyn probably more than Devyn wanted to spend time with
him. He had missed them being able to be alone over the past few
weeks. "I...ah...want to spend some time with you too."

Devyn straightened back up. "I will have to do my chores though."

"Sure," Charlie said. "Is his limp worse?" Charlie was watching Barkley as
they began walking towards the house. He did not remember the limp being so
noticeable.

"Yes, he's getting older and Joe thinks the cold weather is making it worse
for him." Devyn still felt a stab of guilt that Barkley had been injured
while protecting him from Tom. The dog had given Devyn enough time to get
away from the man.

"Poor guy." Charlie lightly scratched the dog's head.

Devyn held the door for both Charlie and Barkley. He heard Joe greet
Charlie as they went into the kitchen.

"It's good to see you."

"Um, you too, Joe."

"Your folks doing alright?"

"Yeah, Dad was just at a trade show. He said we would be getting some new
snowmobiles next month. You should come in and check them out."

Joe chuckled. "The one I bought from him a couple of years ago is still
running great."

"It never hurts to look," Charlie said.

"I guess I could do that. You never know, it might not hurt to have another
one." Joe glanced over at Devyn. "I've only got the one and it might be
time to add a second one."

"That would be cool," Devyn said. "Travis will really enjoy it."

Joe chuckled again. "Right, it's for Travis. I'm sure he'll be the only one
riding it."

"Well, maybe I'll ride it some too." Devyn smiled at Joe. He could not keep
the twinkle out of his eye.

Joe was pleased that Devyn was looking so happy. He was worried that after
the events of the weekend, the teenager might be depressed. Devyn though
was drawing on that inner strength that seemed to be almost limitless.

"I'm going to run out and do my chores," Devyn said. He had taken a seat to
pull on his boots. "Then Charlie and I have...ah...homework to do."

"Dinner will probably be ready by the time you get your chores done," Joe
said.

Devyn turned to Charlie. "Do you want to go with me or wait here?"

"I'll give you a hand," Charlie offered. He liked Joe and Travis but he
came out to spend time with Devyn.

"Come on then." Devyn headed out the kitchen door and through the mud
room. He wanted to be alone with Charlie and taking care of his calves was
a good start.

"Sorry I have to do this first," Devyn said as he pulled open the barn
door.

"It's not a problem. I like watching you and I'll help...well as long as I
don't have to get into the pens with the nasty beasts."

"Yeah, we don't want to mess up your pretty shoes." Devyn was smiling as he
was teasing Charlie.

"They were too expensive for doing chores in. Next time I'll wear my work
boots."

"Then I'll really make you work hard." Devyn had started forking fresh
straw into the pens.

"So, what can I do to help?" Charlie liked watching Devyn work. It was so
damn sexy watching Devyn doing just about anything.

"There on grain now, so you can put some in each of the feeders. It's in
that big barrel over there." With the wooden end of the pitchfork, Devyn
indicated the barrel standing near the door they had just walked through.

Charlie began putting the feed into the troughs. As he was working he
glanced over at Devyn. "You know we didn't get a chance to talk much at
school. How did things go...I mean with your dad and mom?" Charlie saw
Devyn's stance change. The boy's posture went rigid at the question. "I
mean if you want to tell me."

Devyn turned towards Charlie. "I disgust them. My dad...no Frank, I'm not
calling him dad. He was a fucking sperm donor. Well, he couldn't even be
bothered to see me."

"You didn't see them?" Charlie could see the pain in Devyn's eyes. "I'm so
sorry." He moved to Devyn. "If you don't want to tell me..."

"Frank wasn't there but Judy was. She, I guess, was trying."

"Well, that's good, right?" Charlie placed his hand on Devyn's arm.

"I guess." Devyn shrugged his shoulders. "She told me, well I guess I had a
brother." Devyn went into the revelation that Judy had dropped on him. The
only part Devyn left out was where he told Judy about him being a
high-priced call boy. "She saved a bunch of stuff for me but I haven't gone
through it. So, I guess, maybe she is trying."

Charlie could tell his friend was hurting. He could see the tension in
Devyn's body and the pain in his expressive eyes. "It sounds like she is. I
wish I had been there with you. I wish I could have held your hand or
something."

"That's sweet." Devyn wiped at a tear that had slipped from the corner of
his eye.

Charlie moved closer and pulled Devyn into a hug. He pressed his body
against Devyn's and kissed the cheek where a tear had started to roll
down. "I know Joe was there for you but I want to be there for you too."
Charlie kissed Devyn again.

Devyn put his arms around Charlie and held the blonde boy tight. "You
are. You're there for me. You being here holding me; it is more than
enough."

"I'm glad I can be here for you now." Charlie lightly kissed Devyn's lips.

"Me too," Devyn's voice was thick as he got the words out through a lump in
his throat. He had forged such a good bond with his friends.

They held each other for several more long moments. "I...um...gotta pee,"
Charlie said.

Devyn chuckled. "Alright, I guess I'll let you go." Devyn released Charlie
but only after giving Charlie's lips a quick peck.

Charlie moved to the door of the barn and stepped outside. He undid his
button fly and pulled his semi-erect cock out. It took him a few moments to
get his stream to start. He was trying not to think of the fact that only
seconds ago he had been holding and kissing the hottest boy in the school.

"Dang, how long were you holding that?" Devyn had stepped outside and was
latching the barn door behind him.

Charlie jumped. "Dang, you startled me."

Devyn moved up behind Charlie. "You need some help with that?" Devyn slid
his arms around Charlie. He kissed the back of Charlie's neck.

"Ah, I think I can..." Charlie's words trailed off at the feeling of
Devyn's hands sliding towards his crotch. Devyn's hands covered
Charlie's. "Devyn, we shouldn't."

"No one is going to see us." Devyn's chest was pressed to Charlie's back
and Devyn's crotch was pressed against Charlie's hot ass. "I just can't
help myself, you're so damn hot...especially with this out." Devyn's
fingers touched the other boy's cock.

"Oh shit." Charlie's stream had stopped and his cock was quickly growing to
a full-blown erection. "You're the sexy one."

"I don't think so." Devyn had moved Charlie's hand from the blonde's cock
and was stroking it. His fist was slowly pumping up and down the now
rock-hard shaft. Devyn ran his thumb over the head. He felt the dampness on
the piss slit.

"Oh, Devyn!" Charlie could not believe they were doing this outside. It
might be a cool autumn evening but Charlie was feeling too warm in his
jacket.

"I've missed you." Devyn's breath was warm against Charlie's ear. "We
haven't been able to be together for what seems like a long time."

"It's felt like a long time to me too." Charlie's teenage cock had grown
fully erect under Devyn's stroking. He could feel his pre-cum starting to
ooze from the piss slit.

Devyn ran his thumb over the head of Charlie's erect cock and felt new
wetness there. He smeared the sticky fluid over the head. "We should go
back to the house and...um...talk." Devyn knew that he needed to tell
Charlie all about seeing Brent but he wanted to do more with Charlie than
just talk. He wanted to hold Charlie and he wanted to feel Charlie holding
him.

"Talk?" The word was not much more than a croak from Charlie. He was
feeling close to exploding. Devyn had not stopped masturbating him.

"Along with doing some other things." Devyn could feel Charlie's breath
picking up. He could feel that his friend was growing close to a
climax. "Do you want to cum now or save this hot juice for later?"

Charlie didn't know which he wanted. He felt like he needed to cum right
now but he also wanted to have more time and for both of them to enjoy the
pleasure. Charlie bit his lower lip. "Save it."

Devyn stopped stroking. He rubbed his thumb across the head smearing
Charlie's precum around. "Whatever you say." Devyn worked Charlie's
erection back into the boy's underwear and then adjusted him. "Hmm, this
thing doesn't want to fit in here."

"Yeah, and it is never going to if you keep messing with it."

Devyn chuckled and released Charlie. "Then you put that hot cock away."

It took Charlie a little effort to get his cock back in his jeans and to
get them buttoned up. He hoped he would not be showing quite as big a bulge
by the time they got to the house.

"Come on." Devyn put his hand on Charlie's lower back. He pulled Charlie
towards the house. "I do want to talk to you."

"Um, right." Charlie was still a little worried about this talk Devyn kept
mentioning. It sounded serious but from what they had just been doing,
Charlie didn't think it meant Devyn dumping him. What if Devyn wanted to
tell him that he just wanted to be friends? But would Devyn have just been
masturbating with Charlie if all he wanted was a friendship? Maybe friends
with benefits? Charlie wasn't sure he could handle that. His feelings were
more than that. They ran deeper and he wanted Devyn to feel the same.

"Wow, something smells good," Devyn said as he and Charlie entered the
kitchen.

"It is almost ready," Joe said. "You two go get washed up."

"Come on." Devyn pulled Charlie into the bathroom with him.

"Geez, I did not realize it was already dinner time," Charlie said, as he
was washing his hands.

"Time flies when you're doing the chores with me." Devyn was drying his
hands. "You don't have to hurry home right after dinner, do you?" Devyn had
been pushing off telling Charlie about Brent. He knew he needed to explain
that whole situation to Charlie but it never seemed like the right
time. School was definitely not the right place to talk about it and
neither was the bus. Devyn guessed he could have done that while they were
doing chores but they had been talking about other stuff.

"I can hang out for a couple of hours...um...you don't mind giving me a
ride home do you?"

"Of course not." Devyn gave Charlie a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll give
you a ride any time."

Charlie felt his ears burn and his stomach flip over at the extra emphasis
Devyn put on the word `ride.'

"Come on, let's see what Joe has fixed. It smells like meatloaf and Joe's
meatloaf is awesome."

# # # #

Charlie found that having dinner at Devyn's was more relaxing than having
dinner at home. He did not have to worry about saying something that might
out him, like talking too much about Devyn. He could just be himself. That
was something he could never do with his older brother around.

"Don't worry about cleaning up," Joe said when they had finished
dinner. "I'll take care of it tonight."

"Thanks," Devyn said. "We're...um...going to go up and do homework."

"Go ahead." Joe had a knowing look in his eyes. "I'll keep Travis down here
so you can...um...study."

"Thanks."

Charlie and Devyn headed up the stairs to his room. Devyn closed the door
behind them. It was good that they were alone again.

Charlie looked at the bed. It had not been that long ago that he was having
his first sexual experience in that bed. At least his first sexual
experience with another person. As Devyn had closed the door, Charlie could
feel his heart rate increase. He was nervous and he was not sure why. He
knew he wanted to do so much more with Devyn than just study or talk. He
wanted to touch him. He wanted to run his hands all over Devyn. Charlie
wanted to kiss those lips again. He wanted to taste that skin. He wanted to
stroke Devyn's hardness and he wanted to feel it shooting Devyn's
seed. Charlie had not been able to think of much except for being with
Devyn again. He wondered if it made him some sort of pervert that he
thought about sex so much.

Devyn thought he could see some sort of desire in Charlie's eyes. Had
Charlie seen that in his eyes earlier? Was that the odd look that Charlie
mentioned? He wondered if Charlie was feeling as sexually excited as he was
feeling.

"I'm glad you came out. I've wanted to have some alone time with you for a
while." Devyn had been wanting alone time with Charlie almost since the
last time they had been alone in this room.

"Yeah, me too...I mean that I could come out." Charlie could feel his body
growing warmer. He thought that was desire in Devyn's eyes. He knew he
wanted Devyn.

Devyn was sure that there was sexual desire burning in Charlie's eyes. He
wanted that as much as Charlie but he knew he should not put off telling
Charlie about seeing Brent. "I...um...needed to see you today. I mean alone
and not in school."

Charlie moved towards Devyn. He swallowed and tried to work up some
saliva. His mouth had grown momentarily dry. "I've wanted us here alone
since we last were alone here." Charlie moved closer and pulled Devyn into
a hug. He could feel the heat of the other boy's body through his
clothes. "I've wanted to hug you like this."

"We just hugged in the barn," Devyn said but he had to admit that it felt
good having Charlie's arms around him.

"We had on those jackets so it didn't really count." Charlie could feel his
heart rate starting to increase. He could not stop his body from responding
whenever he was touching or being touched by Devyn. "I'm sorry that meeting
with your folks was so hard. I really do wish I could have been there with
you."

Devyn returned Charlie's hug. He liked how easily their bodies fit into
each other's arms. He could feel tenderness and caring in Charlie's
arms. It felt so good. "It was hard but it is behind me now." It felt good
knowing Charlie wanted to be there to support him.

"I should have been there with you. I should have been there to support
you. I'm sorry I wasn't." Charlie tightened his hug on Devyn. He kissed
Devyn's neck.

"I know you couldn't. It doesn't matter." Devyn blinked back tears.

Charlie pulled back so he could look into Devyn's eyes. He did not break
his embrace of the other boy. "It does matter. I should have just gone. I
won't let you do something like that without me again. I'll be there if you
ever need to go again." Charlie leaned in and kissed away the tear he saw
sliding down Devyn's cheek.

Devyn had to fight against a lump in his throat. He was finding it a bit
difficult to get the words out. He had not expected so much support from
Charlie. "I, I don't know what..."

Charlie stopped Devyn's words with a kiss to Devyn's lips. It was tender
and laced with his desire and caring for the other boy. "You don't have to
say anything. It's what I do for someone I care about."

Devyn could not believe how loving and tender Charlie was being. It was
almost as though the other boy was an empath and knew exactly what Devyn
needed. "Charlie, I, I've missed this. I've missed you."

Charlie placed his hand on Devyn's cheek. He ran his thumb across Devyn's
lips. "I'm here now. I, I think I've missed you, I mean us, like this and I
didn't even know how much until right now." Charlie knew he had missed the
closeness with Devyn but he had never known exactly how much. It was as if
there was a flock of butterflies inside him right now. He was feeling
excited at being this close to the hottest boy he had ever known.

Devyn's mouth covered Charlie's again. The kiss was intense as he claimed
the blonde boy's mouth and forced his tongue inside.

Charlie could feel the need and desire in the forcefulness of the kiss. He
gave in to Devyn's need and let him explore as he wanted.

Devyn's hands slid down Charlie's back to grip Charlie's round ass. Devyn
pulled Charlie tight to him as his tongue was exploring Charlie's mouth.

Charlie slid his hand up under Devyn's shirt. He needed to feel the bare
skin of the other boy. He needed to touch the flesh and feel the heat of
Devyn's body.

Devyn felt Charlie's touch. He felt him exploring him and loved the way
Charlie touched him. He wanted to have Charlie more with each breath. Devyn
could feel that Charlie wanted that too. The proof was in the hardness that
Charlie was pressing against him. Wherever Charlie's fingers traveled
across Devyn's tan skin, it felt as though an electrical current passed
over that spot.

The kiss broke leaving both boys breathless. The excitement was obvious
from the large tents in their jeans. Charlie was looking into Devyn's
eyes. The gold in those dark chocolate pools was burning with sexual
need. It made his heart begin racing even more to know that Devyn was so
sexually attracted to him.

Devyn knew they should talk but his sexual desire was overwhelming. He
needed a sexual release. He needed Charlie. "We should talk but..."

Charlie needed Devyn as much as the other boy needed him. Charlie did not
want to talk. He wanted Devyn. He wanted Devyn's touch. He wanted to touch
Devyn. He wanted to taste Devyn. "Later," Charlie said. "We can talk
later." His hand was under Devyn's shirt and was teasing Devyn's nipple. He
pinched it and heard the gasp of pleasure from his boyfriend. "You like
that, huh?"

"Charlie, I like everything you do to me. I especially like this." Devyn
reached down and massaged Charlie's member through the blonde's jeans. "I
like how hard I make you."

Charlie closed his eyes and moaned in the pleasure of Devyn's touch. It
felt incredible having Devyn touching him there. He could not believe this
beautiful boy wanted him. He could not believe that the sexiest boy he had
ever seen was into him. "That...that feels so good. You make me
so...um...hard."

Devyn's lips curved up. "You do the same to me." Devyn took Charlie's hand
and moved it to his bulging jeans. He placed Charlie's hand on his
hardness. "See what a sex stud like you does to me."

Charlie could feel the heat of Devyn through the boy's jeans. He could feel
the hardness of the other boy. Charlie massaged that bulge and was rewarded
with a gasp of pleasure from Devyn. It made Charlie's heartbeat even
faster.

"I want you, Charlie." Devyn's fingers were already working on the button
fly of Charlie's jeans. He soon had them open. "I want this." Devyn slid
his hand inside Charlie's jeans. He could feel the heat of Charlie's
teenage equipment and could feel it throbbing.

Charlie moaned louder as Devyn teased his cock through his white
underwear. He could feel Devyn's fingers exploring and tracing the outline
of his member through the stretched material of his tight underwear.

"You're wearing tighty-whities again." Devyn pushed Charlie's pants and
forced them down to the floor. "Looks like they're a little small for this
thing." Devyn's hand was once again on Charlie massaging him.

"This thing is bigger." Charlie lightly massaged Devyn's member through the
teenager's jeans.

"I'm not so sure of that," Devyn said. "Let's find out."

"Oh shit." Charlie could not believe how good Devyn's hand felt. The guy
seemed to have magic fingers. He knew just where to apply pressure and
where to be gentle. It was all pumping sexual excitement right through
Charlie's body and into Charlie's cock.

Devyn leaned in and kissed Charlie's mouth. His tongue pushed between
Charlie's parting lips and he devoured him.

Charlie was barely able to breathe when the kiss broke. Somehow this
experience was more intense than their other ones. This one was filled with
more hunger. Maybe it was because they knew more about the other boy now.

"Yeah, this thing is big and hard and dripping." Devyn ran his thumb across
the fabric covered head of Charlie's cock. He could feel the wetness from
where Charlie was leaking.

"Oh, damn." Charlie's moan of pleasure was deep as the boy shuddered with
the pleasure of Devyn's touch.

Devyn grabbed the hem of Charlie's polo shirt and pulled it up and off. He
tossed it aside. His hands began roaming all over Charlie's smooth
body. "You've got the hottest body."

Charlie snickered. "Don't lie. The hottest body here is you."

"No, it's you." Devyn kissed Charlie's lips again. He then dropped down to
his knees in front of the other boy. "I want to taste you."

"Oh shit!" Charlie could not believe what was about to happen. He could not
believe Devyn, the sexiest boy in the world, was down there getting ready
to take him.

Devyn peeled down Charlie's tight Fruit-of-the-Loom briefs. He watched as
Charlie's erection popped free. It was throbbing and jerking with the
blonde boy's sexual desire. "I want you naked."

"Oh shit." Charlie cooperated with Devyn as Devyn helped him step out of
his shoes, pants, and underwear. He stood there naked except for his white
socks.

Devyn slid his hands up Charlie's smooth legs. He cupped Charlie's smooth
balls and then ran his fingers through the soft golden curls around
Charlie's cock. The whimper from Charlie told Devyn that the other boy was
enjoying every touch and caress. Devyn wrapped his fist around Charlie and
slowly began stroking the other boy. He looked up from his knees at
Charlie's smooth body. The golden tan that Charlie had from the summer was
beginning to fade. His little pink nipples were erect and Devyn could not
stop from reaching up and pinching the left one.

"Oh, Ah," Charlie moaned as Devyn teased his nipple. He could feel his
heart pumping faster. He wondered if a fifteen-year-old could have a heart
attack from having sex.

Devyn leaned in and kissed the head of Charlie's cock. He stuck out his
tongue and licked the piss slit. He parted his lips and took just the very
tip between them. His fist was still pumping the shaft as his tongue was
probing at Charlie's piss slit.

"Oh, Devyn, Ho!" Charlie could not believe how good Devyn's tongue felt. He
could not believe that the sexiest guy was on his knees licking the head of
Charlie's cock.

Devyn parted his lips more and took the head into his mouth. His tongue set
to work swirling around it. He rubbed at the underside and then over the
top. He worked every inch of the pink head and could hear Charlie moaning
louder and louder.

"Oh yes. Oh, Devyn." Charlie slid his fingers into the thick head of
hair. He wanted to thrust but was holding back. It was hard for him to
control his hips. He wanted to drive himself into that inviting wetness. He
wanted to feel Devyn's nose in his blonde curls. He wanted to feel his
length inside Devyn's mouth.

Devyn pulled off Charlie. He swiped his tongue over the glistening head one
more time. He then looked up at his boyfriend. "I was right. You taste
better than I remember." Devyn returned to working on Charlie's cock. His
lips were tight around the member as he began slowly working his way down
the shaft. His fist dropped away as he took more of Charlie into his
mouth. He knew he'd have no trouble deep-throating Charlie. Charlie wasn't
small but he was nowhere as big as some of the cocks that Devyn had
swallowed.

Charlie's moans grew as Devyn took more of him. He felt the lips halfway
down his shaft. He felt the head hitting Devyn's throat. He thought Devyn
would pull back but Devyn didn't. He went down further. He went all the
way. "Oh fuck!" Charlie bit his lip to stop himself from cumming. He
clutched at Devyn's head. His fists were filled with Devyn's thick locks of
hair. He wanted to make this last longer. He fought down the urge to begin
shooting. It took every ounce of will Charlie had to hold back his orgasm.

Devyn slowly pulled back. He licked the head. He could taste copious
amounts of Charlie's pre-cum leaking from the head. He knew Charlie had
been on the verge but the blonde had managed to control it. "Wow, that is
cool. I was sure you would cum."

Charlie's heart was racing and he was breathing fast. His body was covered
in a layer of sweat. "I was close."

Devyn was waiting before taking Charlie back into his mouth. He was
watching the glistening cock jump in front of him. His hand was massaging
and fondling Charlie's balls. "Well, you don't have to hold back on my
account."

"I, um, wasn't sure if I should. I mean cum, um, in your mouth."

Devyn looked up at Charlie. Charlie was looking down at him. His eyes were
almost glowing with the boy's need to have a sexual release. "I'll take
your cum anywhere. In my mouth, on my chest, ANYWHERE." There was extra
emphasis on `anywhere.'

"Oh gawd, really?" Charlie wasn't sure Devyn was saying what Charlie
thought he was saying. Was Devyn saying he would let Charlie cum in his
mouth?

"I want it Charlie. I want you. I want you to cum. Give me that. Please."

Charlie thought he might cum right then. This masculine guy who was as hot
as any movie star was almost begging him to cum and to cum in his mouth.

Devyn waited no longer. He took Charlie back into his mouth. He swallowed
him in one motion. His lips and nose were in Charlie's blonde pubic hair.

"OH FUCK!" Devyn's throat was stroking him. His tongue was doing things
Charlie could not comprehend as the boy was bobbing up and down on him
now. His mouth was slurping and sucking. His lips were stroking. His tongue
was whirling. Devyn's fingers were massaging Charlie's balls. "Oh Devyn,
I'm not going to be able to hold back."

Devyn could feel Charlie's nuts pulling up. He felt Charlie's cock
expand. He felt the boy lengthen just a bit more. Then he felt the
pulse. He felt the cock beginning to give up Charlie's seed.

Charlie cried out loud as he began shooting. He could not believe he was
Cumming. He was going to cum in Devyn's mouth.

Devyn felt the first blast go right down his throat. He pulled back so he
could suck and taste Charlie as he was squirting.  The hot jets of cum
filled his mouth. He swallowed them down and they were soon replaced by
other shots of hot young cum.

Charlie thought he might pass out. He thought he might fall right through
the floor. How could this time be any better than the other time? Charlie
was not sure how it was, but it was. It was more powerful. It was more
intense.

Devyn swallowed Charlie's teenage milk. He drank down most of the blonde's
load. His hands were on Charlie's ass and he was squeezing those two
well-muscled butt cheeks. He knew if he were not holding onto Charlie, the
other boy would fall to the floor.

Charlie slid down from the wave of ecstasy. He opened his eyes and looked
Down. Devyn was still there on his knees. His lips were still around
Charlie's cock. Devyn's hands were still on Charlie's firm little ass. "Oh
WOW!" Charlie was looking down into Devyn's brown eyes. The golden flecks
seemed to be glowing with sexual energy.

Devyn pulled off Charlie's cock. There was a strand of spit and cum that
momentarily connected Devyn's lips to Charlie's cock. It snapped as Devyn
got to his feet. He pulled Charlie's naked body against him and began
kissing the blonde. He pushed the last mouthful of cum into Charlie's mouth
with his tongue. He squeezed Charlie's hot ass as he swirled his tongue
around, coating the inside of Charlie's mouth with the blonde's own cum.

"See how good you taste," Devyn said after the kiss had broken. He was
holding Charlie to him and looking into the blue pools of Charlie's eyes.

"Oh, Devyn." Charlie kissed Devyn again. "you're amazing. That was
amazing. It was...fucking amazing."

Devyn's lips curved up into a smile. "You like that word, huh?"

"There is no other word. It just was. It was...awesome."

"You're awesome."

Charlie felt so right standing there in Devyn's arms. He felt complete
being there was his boyfriend. Charlie bit his lip. Did he tell Devyn now?
Would it ruin this moment? "I, I've never felt like this before."

Devyn tenderly caressed Charlie's face. He then leaned in and kissed
Charlie again. He wanted to tell Charlie he felt the same. He had been
about to utter those three little words but knew he could not do that. He
had not dealt with his feelings for Brent. He had not even told Charlie
about Brent. He should do that now before things went any further but
Charlie's next words allowed Devyn to push that thought off for a bit
longer.

"I want you now. I want to do that."

Devyn looked into Charlie's face. "You want to do what?"

"I want you naked. I want to taste you. I want you to cum. I can tell you
need to." Charlie placed his hand on the extremely large bulge in Devyn's
pants. He massaged the other boy lightly.

"You want me naked?"

"Yes, take your clothes off."

Devyn's lips curved up into a smile. "Not shy anymore, huh?"

"I could say please." Charlie knew he would do just about anything to have
Devyn. He wanted him naked and he wanted to make the other boy shoot.

"No, I think I like this new side of you." Devyn's lips curved into a smile
and then he leaned in and kissed the tip of Charlie's cute nose.

"Then get your clothes off, NOW."

Devyn chuckled and began undressing. "Yes, Sir."

"And be quick about it." Charlie could already feel himself starting to
grow hard again. With Devyn there, it seemed he needed no time to recover
from his last climax.

Devyn pulled his shirt off and then began slowly removing his socks. As he
bent to pull off his left sock he looked at Charlie through his long
eyelashes. His eyes were burning with his sexual desire for Charlie. The
thoughts of any other guy were gone. At this moment, he only wanted
Charlie.

"Hurry up!" Charlie could tell Devyn was being deliberately slow and it was
stretching Charlie's self-control not to start helping Devyn undress.

Devyn chuckled again. He slowly lowered the zipper of his pants. He was
enjoying teasing Charlie with his slow stripping. He could see from
Charlie's growing boner that he was enjoying the game just as much.

"Don't make me rip those clothes off of you." Charlie could feel the
excitement growing in his belly. The anticipation was making his whole body
feel like there was an electrical current pulsing through him.

"Damn, what have I done?" Devyn quickly finished pulling off his pants. He
tossed them into the pile of their discarded clothes. He looked at Charlie
who was watching him closely. The front of Devyn's light blue briefs were
filled out in front with his raging hard-on.

"I like these sexy underwear." Charlie moved closer to Devyn and rubbed the
hard cock through the cotton fabric.

"Oh!" Devyn moaned at Charlie's touch. It felt so good having him rubbing
the throbbing member.

"Now get them off." Charlie removed his hand from Devyn's bulge. Charlie's
own cock was throbbing now. He was fully hard again.

"Yes, Sir, Mr. Atwood." Devyn hooked his fingers into the elastic of his
underwear and began lowering them. Devyn's eyes locked onto Charlie's
erection. "Mr. Atwood, I do believe you are hard again." Devyn ran his
tongue across his lips. He could still taste Charlie on them.

"See what you do to me." Charlie gripped his erect cock. It was still wet
with Devyn's spit.

"Well, see what you do to me, Sir." Devyn placed his hands on both sides of
his bulging underwear to stretch the fabric tight across his hardness.

"Yeah, now get those damn things off." Charlie could hardly wait for Devyn
to be as naked as Charlie himself was.

Devyn only smiled and then hooked his fingers into the elastic of his
underwear. "Whatever you say, Mr. Atwood."

Charlie watched as the dark curls of Devyn's pubic hair was revealed and
then Devyn's cock sprang free. It was fully erect and the head was already
leaking some pre-cum. Charlie ran his tongue over his lips as he looked at
the throbbing member. He wanted to taste Devyn. He wanted to give Devyn as
much pleasure as the other boy had given him.

Devyn's lips twitched at the corners. He was more turned on by this little
game than he had been in a long time. He could see the sexual hunger
burning in Charlie's soft blue eyes. Those blue pools were filled with
sexual lust and it was for Devyn. Devyn tossed his underwear into the pile
of clothes. His raging hard on swung as he moved and a few drops of his
pre-cum went flying. "What next Mr. Atwood?" Devyn wrapped his fist around
his throbbing member and slowly stroked himself.

Charlie's mouth felt dry as he looked from Devyn's stroking fist up to
Devyn's face. He was once again struck by the attractive face. The nose and
lips were perfectly proportioned for his face. The cheekbones were chiseled
by an expert sculptor and the chin was strong. Charlie watched as Devyn
used that sexy gesture to push his deep brown hair back. Devyn's other hand
was still gripping the teenager's erect member.  Charlie swallowed before
he could speak. "On the bed and get on your back."

Devyn stroked himself a few more times before moving towards the bed. "Yes,
Sir."

Charlie's eyes were glued to Devyn's naked body. He watched as Devyn
climbed onto the bed. Devyn made a show of it making sure to bend and
thrust his ass towards Charlie as he climbed onto the bed. He then rolled
onto his back as he had been instructed.

"What's next, boss." Devyn turned his head to look at Charlie. His fist was
back around his turgid member and he was slowly stroking and making it
point straight up towards the ceiling.

Devyn's voice broke the spell that Charlie had been under watching the tan
skin and rippling muscles of Devyn's body. He realized he was stroking
himself. He did not even remember taking hold of his cock. "Um, spread
those legs wide."

"Like this, Sir?" Devyn moved his legs apart.

Charlie moved to the foot of the bed. He stood there watching Devyn
stroking. He looked at that large member and the two large balls between
Devyn's legs. "Yeah, like that." Charlie moved onto the bed. He moved
between Devyn's legs. He placed his hands on Devyn's legs. Charlie felt a
surge as his hands came into contact with the soft skin of Devyn's legs. He
caressed that smooth skin and slid his hands higher to Devyn's knees. "I
want what you have there." Charlie was looking up between Devyn's legs
right at Devyn's engorged penis.

"What, this little wiener?" Devyn waved his throbbing cock in Charlie's
direction.

Charlie scoffed at Devyn's use of the term little when referring to his
penis. "That...um...wiener is not little and I definitely want it." Charlie
turned his head to the side and kissed the inside of Devyn's knee. Then he
trailed his tongue from Devyn's knee up the inside towards Devyn's
balls. "I want to lick it like this." Charlie licked the inside of Devyn's
leg. His tongue drew closer and closer to Devyn's balls. "I want to kiss it
like this." Charlie planted kisses on Devyn's smooth skin. He was only an
inch from Devyn's balls now. His breath was warm and moist as it passed
over Devyn's orbs.

"Oh, fuck, Charlie. Please, man."

"Oh, are you begging for something?" Charlie was grinning at Devyn. His
mouth was only centimeters from Devyn's cock.

"Yes, please. If you are going to, then please do it, man."

"Do what? Maybe this?" Charlie moved in and kissed the underside of Devyn's
cock. He flicked his tongue out and tasted the pre-cum that had oozed down
the stiff organ.

Devyn whimpered in pleasure at the touch of Charlie's lips on his cock. He
moaned as Charlie's tongue began licking him. He could feel it warm and wet
as it traveled up the underside of his cock up to the head. He felt it pass
across his piss slit and he shivered in pleasure.  "Charlie. Oh, Damn that
feels..." Devyn moaned again as Charlie kissed the head of his cock. He
then began licking it. Charlie's tongue passed back and forth across the
sensitive head of Devyn's cock. Devyn's fist was still wrapped around the
shaft holding his cock so Charlie could lap at the head.

Charlie paused and looked up at Devyn. "Um, Devyn, you know...um...you're
the only one...um...I've done this with. I mean anything
sexual. So...um...I'm not going to be that good at this."

"You could have fooled me. What you're doing feels fantastic." Devyn looked
down again and watched Charlie as his pink tongue licked the head a few
more times.

Charlie paused in his licking of Devyn's cock and looked over his friend's
naked body. "You know I've only really seen this done. You know in a video
but I've not...um...well...if I do it wrong...um...say something." Charlie
was nervous that he'd be horrible at sucking and it would turn Devyn
off. He wanted Devyn to feel as good as he, Charlie, had just felt moments
ago. Devyn had been amazing at sucking and Charlie wasn't sure he would be
anywhere near as good.

"Just relax," Devyn said. "Just keep doing what you've been doing. Lick it
and if you want slide your lips around it. Take your time. Oh, and watch
the teeth. Try and keep your lips over them."

Charlie followed Devyn's advice. He licked the head several more times and
then parted his lips and slowly took Devyn into his mouth. He knew he would
not be able to take all of Devyn. The guy was bigger than he was.

"Yeah, that's it. Oh, Charlie, that feels good. Just a little more. Oh yes,
just like that." Devyn closed his eyes and enjoyed the pleasure Charlie was
giving him.

Charlie could taste Devyn's pre-cum and liked the flavor of his friend. He
swallowed it down and was rewarded with more of the fluid. He took more of
Devyn into his mouth. Charlie wanted to take Devyn down to the base but
knew he would probably never manage that.

Devyn was fighting hard not to thrust into Charlie's mouth. There was a
part of him that wanted to grab Charlie's head and force the cock into his
mouth and right down his throat. It was hard to hold back that urge but
Devyn managed. He had been forcefully made to take all of a cock before and
would not do that to Charlie. He especially would not do that on one of
Charlie's first blow job experiences.

Charlie tried to copy the technique that Devyn had used. He was sure he was
not as good as Devyn, but from Devyn's moans, it seemed he was enjoying
what Charlie was doing.

"Oh, Charlie. Yes, like that." Devyn could not believe how good a job
Charlie was doing on him. The guy had been a quick study.

Charlie moved his mouth further down the shaft of Devyn's cock. He took
more of him and felt the head hitting his throat. He tried taking more but
felt himself beginning to gag. He came off Devyn coughing.

"Easy stud," Devyn said. He was rubbing Charlie's shoulder. "Take your
time."

"Sorry, I'm not that good." Charlie was still coughing as he tried to
apologize.

"You are. It was feeling amazing." Devyn's eyes met Charlie's. "I loved the
way you were blowing me."

Charlie's lips curved up. "Really? I was doing a decent job?" Charlie hoped
that Devyn was telling him the truth and not just being nice. Devyn's words
sounded true and the look in his expressive eyes seemed to confirm the
words.

Devyn smiled. "You were doing an amazing job." Devyn was enjoying
everything Charlie was doing. He knew that this was Charlie's first time
and that he would only get better. It already felt amazing. Charlie might
not yet have the best technique but he was putting his heart into it. That
made it better than anything Devyn had been given since maybe that last
time with Brent.

Charlie smiled and then went back to Devyn's cock. He licked the head and
then took the organ back into his mouth.

"Oh yes!" Devyn closed his eyes, tossed his head back, and enjoyed the
pleasure that Charlie's mouth was giving him.

Charlie began fondling Devyn's balls as he took more of Devyn. He swallowed
him down as far as he could without choking. He could feel Devyn's cock
throbbing as he sucked him harder. His lips were stroking the shaft and his
fingers were massaging Devyn's heavy balls.

"Charlie, Oh man, I'm close." Devyn knew he was not going to be able to
hold back for long.

Charlie did not pause; he continued sucking on Devyn's throbbing member. He
could taste more of Devyn's pre-cum flowing from the head. He swallowed it
down and forced his mouth down further. He swallowed as the head hit his
throat and took Devyn almost to the base.

"Charlie!" Devyn could not stop it. When Charlie swallowed him he felt his
balls pull up. He felt his cock expand. "I'm cumming!"

Charlie felt Devyn swell in his mouth. He wanted to go down further but
couldn't manage more of the large organ. He pulled back and felt the cock
begin shooting. Jets of Devyn's seed filled Charlie's mouth. He swallowed
it as fast as he could but the cock was shooting rapidly into his mouth. He
backed up more and the cock slipped from between his lips. Devyn sprayed
cum across Charlie's face. Charlie quickly pulled the cock back into his
mouth so he could swallow more of Devyn's cum.

"Oh shit!" Devyn was clutching handfuls of the bedding as he shot his
load. He rode the wave of pleasure. It was one of his most intense orgasms.

Charlie swallowed down more of Devyn's cum. He felt the cock finally stop
spraying his mouth with cum. He sucked at the head to milk the last of
Devyn's load from it. He swallowed down that mouth full and then tongued
the piss slit for the last of the teenage juice.

"Oh God Charlie," Devyn felt as though he had been drained of every ounce
of strength. He felt so weak after that climax.

Charlie licked up and down Devyn's softening cock. He cleaned up as much of
the cum as he could find. He then looked up at Devyn. "I, um, guess I
wasn't too bad at that."

Devyn snickered. "You were fucking great at that."

Charlie smiled. He had never guessed that being praised for sucking cock
could feel so good. "Um, well, I, um, kind of got into it."

"You definitely did." Devyn reached down and used a finger to scoop up some
cum from Charlie's forehead. He brought the finger to his mouth and slurped
down the glob of cum. "Sorry, I tried to warn you."

"I don't mind." Charlie moved so he was lying next to Devyn. "It's hot
being covered with your cum."

Devyn's lips were curved up into a big smile as he looked at Charlie's
face. There were strands of cum on the blonde's chin, cheeks, and across
his nose. Devyn moved closer and licked the cum from Charlie's chin. "I
guess since I made the mess, I got to clean it up."

Devyn's tongue licked across Charlie's nose and then his cheek. "That is so
hot...I like it."

Devyn could feel Charlie's erection pressing against his leg as he licked
cum from Charlie's face. "Damn Charlie, you're rock hard again." Devyn
reached and took Charlie's erection into his fist. "You stud. You recover
so fast."

"Oh shit." Charlie moaned. The feeling of Devyn's thumb rubbing across his
sensitive cock head sent a shiver through Charlie.

Devyn stroked Charlie fast and hard. He kissed him as he felt Charlie
beginning to breathe faster. "You want to cum again, Stud?"

"Oh shit. You know I do."

"I love making you cum." Devyn pumped faster on Charlie's cock. He kissed
the blonde boy's lips as he masturbated him.

"Oh, damn that feels good."

Devyn kissed and licked Charlie's neck and then moved to Charlie's smooth
chest. He took Charlie's pink nipple in his mouth and sucked on it. He
nipped it with his teeth.

"Oh shit. Oh no." Charlie could feel he was growing close already. He could
feel his orgasm building fast.

Devyn pulled off Charlie's nipple and looked at him. "Come on babe, shoot
it. Spray me with your cum."

"Oh, Devyn. I'm going to cum."

"Do it, Charlie."

With only a few more strokes of Devyn's fist, Charlie's cock exploded. His
cum shot out splattering across Devyn. "Oh fuck!" Charlie's moan was loud
in the small bedroom. He thought this second climax was stronger than his
first one.

"Damn, you shot a lot." Devyn was using his fist to milk the last of
Charlie's load from the teenager's cock.

"Sorry," Charlie managed to say as he came down from his orgasmic high.

Devyn leaned in and kissed Charlie's mouth. "It's alright. I like it."

"Sorry, I made such a mess on you." Charlie was looking at Devyn's tan skin
with Charlie's white strands of cum splattered across it. "I did shoot a
lot."

"Just proof of what a stud you are."

Charlie snickered. "The stud in this room is you."

"I think it's you." Devyn kissed Charlie again.

"You keep that up and I'll need to cum again."

"See, you are a stud." Devyn kissed the tip of Charlie's nose. "As much as
I'd like to go again, we probably shouldn't." Devyn paused. He needed to
talk to Charlie and as much as he'd like to push it off, he knew he
shouldn't. He was feeling a bit guilty that they had not talked before
having sex. Devyn had just needed to be with Charlie and he thought that
Charlie had been feeling the need as well. Was telling Charlie about Brent
going to damage their budding relationship? Devyn was not sure. He was
still trying to sort out how he felt. He knew that he still had feelings
for Brent but with Charlie there, the feelings and desire for Charlie were
stronger than the feelings for Brent. Devyn took a breath. He needed to
just man-up and tell Charlie about Brent. "There was something I wanted to
talk to you about."

"About the weekend?" Charlie was tenderly caressing Devyn's strong chest.

"Yeah, it, um, got a bit complicated."

"I'm sure that's an understatement. I can only imagine how hard seeing your
mom again was on you. The stuff you found out had to be mind-blowing."

"It was. The bottom line with them is that they hate me. They hate having a
faggot for a son."

"I'm sorry about that." Charlie placed a tender hand against Devyn's
cheek. "I know that has to hurt but it sounded like maybe your mom was
trying to...um...understand."

"Maybe she was." Devyn paused to rain in his emotions. "I kind of think
Travis and I are alike. In a way, my parents, the ones I thought I had
died."

"God, I'm sorry that you feel that way." Charlie moved in and kissed Devyn
softly. Charlie pressed his naked body to Devyn's. He put an arm around the
other boy and held him. His heart was hurting for his friend.

"Thanks." Devyn could feel the tears building again and pushed them
away. He slid his arm around Charlie and held him as Charlie kissed him
again and hugged him. "I thought I was strong enough to not let them hurt
me but I'm not. Maybe they're right. I'm just a stupid faggot."

"HEY! No one talks about my boyfriend like that." Charlie's voice was laced
with his outrage.

"Am I? Your boyfriend?"

Charlie bit his lip. He could not believe he had just said that. He kind of
thought he and Devyn were boyfriends but he was not sure Devyn felt the
same way. "I...um...well...we...um...seem to be...that is if..." Charlie's
voice trailed off. He wanted them to be more than just friends but what if
Devyn did not feel the same way?

Devyn's lips twitched at the corners. Charlie could be so cute when he was
nervous. Devyn understood the nervousness. He was nervous too. He wasn't
sure Charlie would want to be his boyfriend once he heard about Brent. "I
think so too. I just wasn't sure and you may change your mind."

"I won't." Charlie's voice was firm. "I, um, well, have never felt like
this before. I've never cared for anyone like this."

Devyn kissed Charlie softly on his lips. "I've never felt like this
either." Devyn kissed Charlie again. He hated to break up the feeling of
love that he believed he was getting from Charlie but he knew he needed to
tell him about the weekend. "There is something else that I need to tell
you."

"Sure." Charlie liked being there snuggled up to Devyn and talking. It made
them feel more like a couple. Charlie lightly kissed Devyn's lips. "You can
tell me anything, you know." Charlie could feel Devyn's hand lightly
caressing his back. He felt it sliding lower and then back up.

"Well, besides seeing my folks, I also looked up that man I told you
about."

Charlie remembered Devyn telling him about Matt. He had seemed important to
Devyn. "Right, Matt the architect. Did you see him?"

Devyn was touched that Charlie remembered Matt's name and his
occupation. "Yes, we um, did. He and his husband, Bryan, they, um, took
Brent in." Devyn paused, waiting for that to register with Charlie. Devyn
could see the confusion. "I've mentioned Brent, my um..."

"Your boyfriend. Your first boyfriend." Charlie felt like a fist had taken
hold of his heart.

"Yes, he's living with Matt and Bryan. They are like his foster dads."

Charlie had to swallow before he could speak. "Did his dad and Mom throw
him out?" Charlie could not help but wonder if he was going to lose Devyn
because Brent needed him. One of the traits that attracted Charlie to Devyn
was Devyn's kind and generous heart.

"I, um, couldn't really talk to him. He was in an accident and in the
hospital." Devyn paused. He could feel new tension in Charlie. He rubbed
Charlie's back. "He was out of it most of the time. He was on a lot of pain
drugs."

"Is he going to be alright?" Charlie hated having this new cloud hanging
over his relationship with Devyn. Had Devyn just had sex with him to cover
up his feelings for Brent? Had this been more about Devyn's feelings for
Brent than any feelings he had for Charlie? He could not stop all the
doubts about himself from creeping into the corners of his mind.

Devyn was touched by the sound of concern in Charlie's voice. "Yes, he'll
be fine. He should be going home this week. He might already be home. I
haven't checked in with Matt since Tuesday morning."

That's good." Charlie could not look into Devyn's eyes. He felt the fist on
his heart tightening.

"I, um, need to go back and see him."

Charlie felt like another fist had just punched him in the stomach. Charlie
wanted to say no, don't go back. Don't go see him. But Charlie knew that
was not right. "Oh, of course, you do."

"He was really out of it because of the medications but he, um, did
apologize for how things ended between us. I'm not as mad at him as I was."

Charlie felt like his world was being turned on its axis. "You don't? This
summer you told me how bad that hurt you."

"It did and it still does hurt but Brent has been through something. Matt
didn't really tell me. He wanted me to come back and let Brent tell me."

Charlie could not believe this. Now he had this Matt guy trying to get
Devyn back with Brent. How was Charlie going to compete with Devyn's first
love?

"Charlie," Devyn said. He could feel the muscles in Charlie's back tensing
up. He could almost feel how upset Charlie was getting. Devyn turned on his
side to face Charlie and pulled him tighter to him. "It doesn't change
this. It doesn't change what we have." Devyn hoped his words were true. He
knew he had feelings for Brent but the feelings for Charlie were also
there. Could he have feelings for both of them? Did he still love Brent?
Was he in love with Charlie? Devyn was not sure of the answers to anything.

"Doesn't it?" Charlie finally looked into Devyn's eyes.

"I want to be honest with you." Devyn paused. He did not want to hurt
Charlie. He could see some fear in Charlie's clear blue eyes. "I do have
feelings for Brent. We shared something special."

Charlie could only imagine how special Devyn and Brent's relationship
was. Brent was Devyn's first love and Charlie knew how strong those
feelings were. Devyn was his first love. "Yeah, I'm sure it
was...ah...amazing." Charlie was forcing the words out. He was trying to
hold back his emotions.

"I think what we have is special too." Devyn's hand slid down Charlie's
back to rest just above the other boy's butt. "The feelings for you are
different but just as strong." Devyn wanted to add that they were maybe
stronger but he just wasn't sure exactly what he felt for Brent.

Charlie hoped that was true. He hoped that they were strong enough for
their relationship to survive Devyn seeing Brent. "So, you don't think you,
er, want to get back together with him, do you?"

"Brent's betrayal hurt me and I'm not sure I can ever totally get over
that. I do need to see him again so we can really talk. We couldn't do that
this time. He was too out of it in the hospital."

Charlie wondered if Devyn would always feel that way. Once Brent was home
and better, would Devyn then be drawn back to his first love? If Devyn was,
then where did that leave Charlie? Charlie had an idea where that left
him. It left him all alone. "So, you are going to go back to him?"

"Not back to him but back to see him." Devyn could tell Charlie was hurt
and that was the last thing that Devyn wanted to do. "We need to
talk. Brent wants to apologize for how things ended between us. I think he
wants to try and explain what he was going through."

Charlie closed his eyes. He hated the idea of Devyn spending time with
Brent but he did not want to be that kind of boyfriend that was filled with
jealousy. "I, um, understand." Charlie wasn't sure he understood but would
not stand in the way of Devyn returning to see Brent.

"You are the best." Devyn softly kissed Charlie's lips. "You don't need to
worry. I have strong feelings for you."

Charlie hoped that was true. "Me too. I mean my feelings for you are
deep. You know you're my first."

"I know and that makes this even more special for me." Devyn rubbed his
hand across Charlie's smooth bubble butt. "There are more firsts that we
can do together."

"I do want that." Charlie wanted to do everything with Devyn. He wanted
that more than anything he had ever wanted before.

"So, are you alright with me going back to see Brent?" Devyn hoped Charlie
was. He wanted Charlie to understand but Devyn was not sure he fully
understood himself and the need he felt to talk to Brent.

"I do. I just wish...I mean I don't want it to..."

"To what?" Devyn prompted when Charlie had not finished the thought.

"I don't want it to mess this up. I mean what we have." Charlie's biggest
fear was losing Devyn. That even overpowering the teenager's fear of being
outed.

"There is no but," Devyn said. His hands slid down Charlie's back to again
rest on Charlie's firm ass. "I'm here with you. We just had passionate
sex. We just had the best sex ever. I'm here with you and I want you."
Devyn did mean those words. He wanted Charlie but there was a part of him
that wanted Brent. He could not help but wonder if Tom did something to him
that made him just want whatever guy might be around. Was he just the slut
that Tom had said he was?

Charlie felt the fist squeezing his heart loosen a bit but just a
little. "It was great." Charlie pressed himself more firmly to Devyn's
naked body. Charlie wished they could just stay like this and shut everyone
else out. He moved and lightly kissed Devyn's lips. "I am glad you told me
all of this but I'm not sure you can be certain about that. I mean until
you get to talk to Brent. Like you said you have both changed. You need to
get to know him again." Charlie really did not want Devyn to get to know
Brent. He would rather that Devyn never see Brent again but he had to trust
in their feelings for each other. If they were in love then Brent would not
be able to come between them...would he?

"That is true," Devyn remembered Joe telling him the same thing. He did
need to get to know Brent all over again. If he did, would something
rekindle those feelings? Being there with Charlie had made Devyn feel more
certain that a relationship with Charlie was right. If he were with Brent,
would he feel that Brent was the right guy for him? He could not help but
wonder what kind a slut he was. Did he just like whatever guy he was with
at the moment?

Charlie lightly kissed Devyn's lips. He ran his hand up the smooth skin of
Devyn's leg and around to the small of Devyn's back. "I'm glad you told me
about Brent and I understand you need to see him." Charlie understood it
but he did not like it.

"I don't want to lie to you. I want us to be honest with each other about
everything."

"I want that too." Charlie rubbed his hand up and down Devyn's back. He
wanted to just stay like this with Devyn. He wanted them to stay in this
bedroom and leave Brent and the rest of the world outside.

"I wish we could just stay like this." Devyn slid his hand lower and ran
his fingernails lightly on Charlie's leg and then over the smooth flesh of
Charlie's butt cheeks.

"Oh, wow that feels good." Charlie felt goosebumps pop out on his
arms. "When," Charlie paused as he enjoyed the sensations of Devyn's
administration. He let out a soft moan of pleasure before he could speak
again. "When will you go to see him?"

"I was going to go this weekend but there is a rehearsal so I guess it will
have to be the next weekend."

Charlie felt the fist tighten again. He could not believe it would be that
soon. Did that mean Brent was more important to Devyn than Devyn was
letting Charlie know? Was Devyn's feelings for Brent maybe stronger than
Devyn himself even understood? "Wow, that soon?"

"It was important to Brent for us to talk. We couldn't do that in the
hospital. He wasn't up to it."

Important to Brent. Charlie could not help but wonder if that meant it was
also important to Devyn. "Are you going to, um, spend the weekend again?"

"We haven't really talked about it. I thought about driving down on
Saturday and spending the night."

Charlie felt his stomach flip over. "Um, you driving, you mean alone?" Was
Joe not going? Charlie felt the fear tighten. If Brent and Devyn were
alone, would they rekindle their feelings?

"Yes, Joe seemed alright with it. It might depend on if Ethan is here. I
don't want to leave Joe without the truck."

Charlie silently asked Ethan not to come out. He'd rather keep Devyn away
from Brent. He felt a little selfish thinking that but losing Devyn to
Brent might kill him. "Joe's going to let you stay in a hotel by
yourself. Don't you have to be eighteen for that?"

"Matt said I could stay with them."

Charlie wanted to scream NO. "Spend the night there with Brent?" God
Charlie knew that sounded like a jealous statement.

"Well, at Matt and Bryan's. I wouldn't really be staying with Brent. I mean
not in the same room." Devyn said that but then wasn't sure. Matt had just
said they had room for him to stay with them. He hadn't said they had a
spare room.

Charlie was not sure he could cope with this. How did someone manage the
feelings when their boyfriend was going back to see their first boyfriend?
Charlie could not stop Devyn though. He did not want to be one of those
jealous boyfriends who watched his lover's every move. "So, you'll be gone
Saturday and Sunday?"

"Yes, I think that will give me and Brent time to talk. It seems important
for him to explain what happened." Devyn was enjoying being in bed with
Charlie. He liked having their naked bodies snuggled up together and just
talking. It felt right to Devyn. This was different than his other sexual
experiences. Those had always ended with him almost being pushed out or the
man leaving. The only other time he had been like this had been with
Brent. That had been the night they had slept together after having oral
sex just like he and Charlie had just had. Well, it had not been like what
he and Charlie had just done. This had felt different. It felt deeper
somehow. Maybe that was because he was older and more experienced now.

"Will, will you call me?" Charlie felt stupid for asking that. It sounded
stupid and pathetic as soon as the words had left his mouth.

"Yes." Devyn softly kissed Charlie's lips. "That is if you have your phone
back. Does Sam still have it?"

"Yes, I don't know if he figured out how to get it unlocked. He may have
had to wipe it. But regardless, I'll have a phone by the time you leave."
Charlie didn't care if he had to go buy a new phone. He'd have one so he
could talk to Devyn.

"Good, it is bound to be emotional. I'll need to talk to someone."

Charlie lightly touched Devyn's face. "I'm here whenever you need me."

Devyn felt his heart swell at those words. Charlie was a very understanding
guy and supportive. He lightly ran his fingers through Charlie's soft
blonde hair. His feelings for Charlie were growing stronger with every
heartbeat. He was not sure what he should say so he kissed Charlie and
hugged him tighter.

Charlie could not believe how good it felt to be hugged so hard by
Devyn. He wanted to stay like this forever.

The knock on the door made them both jump. Joe's voice came from the other
side of the door. "Sorry guys but Charlie's mom is on the phone."

"Crap!" Charlie said. He looked at the clock next to Devyn's bed and could
not believe how late it was. "Shit is she pissed?"

Joe stepped into the room. He could not stop smiling as he saw the two
naked boys on the bed. "I told her that you guys got tied up in homework."
Joe held the phone out to Charlie.

Charlie could feel the blush from his ears all the way to his
toes. "Um...thanks." Charlie reached out and took the phone from Joe. He
felt their fingers touch and felt a surge of something, maybe excitement,
at being naked with a hot man like Joe looking at him. Charlie felt his
face burn even hotter.

Joe could not stop himself from looking over the two naked boys. His lips
twitched as he tried not to smile at Charlie's red face. "See you
downstairs." Joe then turned and left the room, closing the door behind
him.

"Um, hi Mom," Charlie said, tentatively. He wondered how much trouble he
was in.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" Barb put extra stress on the word
`any.' "I thought you were with Sam until he showed up here. Then I didn't
know where you were."

"Um, well, um, Devyn, um, asked me to come out..."

"And why didn't you answer your phone? You know the rule, the one call you
take is mine."

Charlie did know the rule. His parents had told him that when he got his
cell phone. If they called he answered. If he couldn't, then he called back
as soon as he could. Normally that was within a few minutes.

"My phone is still messed up thanks to Howard." Charlie wanted to say the
dick head but he kept that comment to himself.

"Do I need to come and get you?" Barb's voice was still laced with her
anger.

Charlie knew if his Mom drove out to get him, she would only get more upset
with him at having to drive out there this late. "No Mom, I think Devyn
will drive me home." Charlie looked at Devyn and got a nod of reassurance.

"Then, we will talk when you get home, which had better be soon." Barb's
tone left little doubt that he was going to be grounded when he got home.

Devyn got up from the bed and started to gather up his and Charlie's
clothes. He felt bad that he seemed to have gotten Charlie into some
trouble. "I'm sorry," he said when Charlie had ended the call with Barb.

"It's not your fault. I should have called her. I just...um...well didn't
think." Charlie had been too involved with his thoughts of Devyn to think
of much else.

Devyn used his underwear to wipe Charlie's cum from his chest and
stomach. He then pulled on his jeans. "You are probably going to want to
wash up a bit. You've got some of my cum on your neck and ear."

"Crap," Charlie moaned. "This is so fucking embarrassing."

"Don't worry about it. I think you're damn hot with my cum on you." Devyn
quickly kissed Charlie's lips.

The two finished getting dressed and then went downstairs. Charlie hurried
into the bathroom to wash his face and neck. He knew he was going to be in
some trouble when he got home but he really didn't care. Spending time with
Devyn was worth being grounded for a couple of days.

"Charlie," Joe began when Charlie had re-emerged from the bathroom.

Charlie could feel his neck burning and his face turning pink as the man
had just seen him and Devyn in bed together and naked. Of course, on some
level, Charlie knew that Joe knew exactly what he and Devyn were
doing. Well, maybe not exactly but had little doubt that Joe knew they were
having sex. "Um, yes." Charlie looked up into Joe's eyes.

Joe placed a hand on Charlie's shoulder. "You know you are welcome here
anytime, that is not going to change."

Charlie could hear the but coming. He hoped that Joe had not been upset
with him too.

"Was there a reason you did not let your folks know you were coming out
here?" Joe hoped that Charlie's parents did not have a problem with Charlie
being around him and Devyn. Joe had thought that Barb and Howard were more
open minded than having an issue with their son being around a gay man.

"I, er, really just forgot."

"She was worried Charlie. If I had known she didn't know, I'd have insisted
you call her."

"Usually she calls me, but my phone is messed up and I just didn't think."
Charlie had been too distracted by what he and Devyn had been doing to give
much thought to telling his folks where he was. He could feel his face
turning pink again at the idea of how Joe had found them.

Joe ruffled Charlie's hair. "You are so damn cute when you are
embarrassed."

Charlie looked up into Joe's eyes. "Er, you're not mad at me?"

Joe chuckled. "No, everyone makes mistakes." Joe had a twinkle in his
eye. "I know you had other things on your mind." Joe looked from Charlie to
Devyn and then back to Charlie. "Like I said. You are welcome here anytime
but I want you to be sure and let your folks know where you are. There is
no need to worry them unnecessarily."

"I will. I just wasn't thinking." Charlie could feel his ears and neck
burning.

"I know you had a lot on your mind," Joe said and glanced from Charlie to
Devyn again. His lips were twitching at the corners and there was a twinkle
in his blue eyes. "I was a horny teenager once myself."

"He's still horney," Devyn cut in. "Just not a teenager." Devyn could see
Charlie was stressed about being caught and being in trouble at home and
was trying to lighten the mood.

"You watch it." Joe's voice was stern but there was still a twinkle in his
eye.

"From now on, I'll be sure to call and let them know," Charlie said.

"Good boy," Joe said and squeezed Charlie's shoulder. "Like I said, you are
always welcome here. I'd rather have you two...um...studying here than
somewhere else."

Charlie could feel his face burning even more. "Um, thanks, Joe." Charlie
knew his face had to be bright red. He headed towards the door. He wanted
to get out into the dark to hide his embarrassment.

"Oh, and Charlie," Joe called as the two boys reached the door.

Charlie turned back and saw the smile and twinkle in Joe's eyes. "From what
I saw, you've got nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Er, um, sure." Charlie heard Joe chuckle as Charlie stepped out into the
chilly night air.

"He's going to like teasing you a bit," Devyn said as they headed towards
the truck.

"Yeah, I guess it could be worse."

"If someone is going to see us, um, together, better Joe than someone
else."

Charlie knew that was true. If they had been caught at his house in bed
together, then it would have been a shitstorm of unparalleled force.
