Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 15:23:02 -0400 From: Dwedno Smith Subject: First Season chapter 10 Hi... Now that I have give you readers a chance to get back into this story I thought I would write a little something... I have received a few e mails regarding this story so far since I continued it and all have been favorable. For that I thank you. Now I have enough of this story to continue for a while and I can write more to bring us through next football season. ITS all up to you, the readers... just let me know if you are enjoying it and I will gladly keep working on it for all of you. Thanks, Dwedno. P.S. The e-mail address is always at the bottom and so is a hint at what is going to happen in the next chapter. Chapter 10. Dealing with new love and a horrific problem. As I searched my mind for the right words to say, if there are such words. I thought about how things could be and wondered if that angle would work. Maybe, but not just yet. We have to get this behind us. I continued to look for the right words to express what just happened. We were all just sitting there and wondering what would happen now. I felt like I wanted to die now. "JR! JR! Wake up! "Huh? What. I opened my eyes. Oh hey Nicky what's going on?" "You tell me JR. We were all playing in the pool and having a blast and then I got out of the pool and found you asleep here." "You mean nothing happened with..." I stopped short of saying it. I got up and they were in the pool, Bastion and Matt. What an unbelievable thing! I can't fathom it. Holly SHIT! I fell asleep. None of that happened. I just dreamt it all. Thankfully. I mean in my mind I wish it could but damn! I thought for sure... "Oh sorry Nick. I had a weird dream while I was asleep." "I could tell something happened, you were mumbling and well I wouldn't say this in front of the others but when I got out of the pool I came over here because of how you were acting and you, well coach you had a hard on. That must have been some dream." I smiled at Nick. "If you only knew Nicky, I wish I could tell you but I'd rather not." "Yeah well from the bulge in your shorts I can imagine how good it was." Nicky liked my bulge. That's good. Who knows what that means? Wait a minute didn't I just go through that in that dream? Well anyway... "It was! Most of it anyway. What time is it?" I looked at my watch. 7:00. Damn! Not only did I break my own rule about letting the kids swim unsupervised, I got this hard on in front of Nick all over a freaking dream! Well Tommy had left. I know that was real when it happened and I took him home but I guess I fell asleep when I got back. Yeah I sat while they went back into the pool and damn! That was fast. I fell asleep like I was nothing! But anyway the good news is that was just a dream and neither Nick nor Matt got hurt. I am definitely going to have to be more careful about everything from now on! I don't want to go through that in reality! "Okay Boys lets go out of the pool please. Bastion I thought you went home?" "I did but I was bored so I came back. You were asleep on the chair so I didn't want to bother you. I just joined them in the pool. We were really good JR. I am sorry if I did something wrong." "No, no Bastion. I did. I never should have fallen asleep. Don't worry about it this one I will take the blame for." "Guys, please, if that ever happens again someone wake me. You all know how strict I am about the pool and adult supervision and I don't mean wake me with a pool bath either!" "Sorry JR." said Nick "Yeah, sorry about that JR. I didn't think about it we were having too much fun." "Well Matt, in the future. Please?" "Sure, I will check and make sure you're awake." "Don't say it like your baby sitting me smart guy!" He laughed at that and went to dry off. Ahh well a great day with one little part ruined but only in my mind. "I suppose since everyone is okay we will forget about it and just make sure it never happens again." They all agreed and that ended it. Now I get to watch the cuties dry off their awesome bodies and a second look at Bastion, he he. I was awake now for sure but the thoughts of what I dreamt of still lingered in my head. Damn! That was so amazing and so was Tommy! They were all toweled off or close to it and Bastion was the first to get ready to go. "Leaving again?" "Yes sir, but this time for the night. Thanks for everything." "Your welcome Bastion and you know how to get back here so anytime..." "I know that JR, thanks for reminding me. Bye," "Bye." He said his good byes to the others and for the second time today he was leaving me. It was silly to keep saying good-bye since he was only two houses away. I could even see him in his yard if I looked hard enough from the top by the pool. But that was how we did it and it wasn't wrong. Nick headed inside and I followed him with Matt just behind. The warm day had cooled off only from the clouds that had rolled in and in the distance I could now hear thunder and knew if not directly soon someone was going to have rain. The winds kicked up a little but it didn't matter since the three of us were safe inside as was Bastion by now. Quick moving storms were frequent around here this time of year besides the fact that the heat from the day probably helped a lot. I joined the others and watched them quietly to see how the thunder bothered them before asking. Neither seemed to pay much attention until it got loud and quite dark outside. Matt came over to me first. "What's up pal?" "I am not a big fan of storms." "Neither am I." Chimed in Nick. "Well boy's it looks like we are about to have one." A huge flash of lightning lit up the outside and was followed by a loud clap of thunder that shook the house and rattled their nerves. Didn't look too pretty outside now and then the rain started to fall. And it poured like never before! Well it had been a while anyway since I remembered seeing it rain that hard. Even hail was mixed in it. I was at the window watching it since I was quite fond of weather events and Nick and Matt were at my side like scared puppies without their mom around. Another loud clap brought them close to me. I wanted to laugh but it was serious. The weather radio went off in the next room and I hurried over to listen. They had just issued a tornado warning for the area and the boys didn't like the sound of it so I had to explain that a warning was ok the tornado watch was the bad one. It meant it was already on the ground and heading somewhere. My phone rang and the lights went out with the next flash. One of them yelled out with that and I assumed that the phone rang once just from the close hit. I picked it up and it was dead. Matt was now right next to me by the phone and I had a pretty good idea of who screamed. "It's gonna be okay pal. It's just a bad storm we are safe in here." He said nothing but I held him to reassure him. Nick came over and looked just as concerned. It was difficult to see with the darkness from the storm but the flashes brought out the fear on their faces easily. I took both of them to the couch and we sat down together. I held them both as the weather radio chirped again. This time it was for a tornado watch and I realized we could be in danger. "Come on boys. I tried to say calmly. Let's get downstairs right now." I lead them to the steps and the light from my flashlight guided us down. We heard another blast of thunder outside and a huge crash. I could only guess a tree got hit close by and hoped it was okay upstairs but at the moment I was scared too and didn't want to let the boys know this. We huddled together on my downstairs couch and I tried to calm them some. I couldn't remember the last time we had a storm this bad but we were in it now and in the safest place we could be. Although the windows in the basement were small and hard to see out of they still shown well with the light from the lightning outside. We heard sirens for a little bit but they soon quieted and we were left with nothing but the storms whaling winds to listen to again. It sounded like a freight train and I suddenly realized that was what we were taught a tornado sounded like. I wanted to panic but the boys were there so I just held them both tightly as the sound grew louder outside. I was sure they didn't know and I wanted to keep it that way. I thought to myself God I sure hope no one gets killed in the neighborhood if it really touches down. I thought Matt was crying but it was too noisy to really tell but they were both certainly attached to me as close as possible. Another huge flash was followed by more deafening thunder and once again Matt cried out. "Make it stop. Please make it stop!" I brought his head to me and kissed him on top of it and whispered into his ear as best I could that he was okay and safe with me. He buried his head into my chest and held me tightly. Nick was behind me but still touching me as best as he could. At the moment my hands were full of Matt and I couldn't do much for him. It started to quiet down outside and I started to believe that the worst was over. It still was storming out but other then the thunder it had now grown eerily quiet outside. I went to get up and both of them grabbed me. "NO! Please don't leave us!" They practically screamed in unison. "Okay guys. Relax now. The worst is over and I want to go upstairs and see if this place is still in one piece." I finally got Matt to let go of me and I got up a few minutes later. "You two stay put for now. Keep your Asses on this couch unless I yell for you." "Yes sir!" Said Matt. "Okay." Said Nick. I got up and they seemed to be a little better. It looked a little brighter outside from glaring at the windows before going upstairs. I got to the top of the steps and cracked the door. I was still scared myself and didn't have a clue what to expect. The door opened and I shined the flashlight around. The beam showed everything in its proper place so far. I checked all over and then went upstairs. Again everything was fine. Nothing damaged. I heard more sirens outside and headed down and to the front door. I opened it and got the shock of my life. Half of my neighborhood was gone. The tornado hit hard across the street and pandemonium had broken loose outside. I looked and my side of the street appeared untouched other then tree limbs and leaves down on lawns. I wanted to go further but I had to get back to the boys. I ran back in and down stairs. "Boys. The house is fine we are okay just without power. BUT!" They looked at me with terror in their eyes when I said but. I tried to speak calmly but my voice broke and I almost lost it. I cleared my throat and tried to tell them again. "But what?" Nick said. "The tornado struck across the street, practically the whole other side of the street is gone." Again I saw the fear, the terror in their eyes. "Relax. We are okay. Now please listen to me. You can come upstairs but under no circumstances are either of you allowed out of this house unless it catches on fire or something. Understand!" Both of them told me yes and we headed upstairs. It had brightened up outside now that the storm had passed and they went to my front window and as I watched them look I saw their mouths drop open as they saw what little was left across the street. I looked at them and then they looked at me. Both had tears in their eyes and seemed scared, I held them again briefly and Nick was shaking, as was Matt. "Okay boys I have to go and see if anyone is hurt or trapped. Please remember stay in here no matter what!" Both of them told me okay and watched me leave from the window. I headed across the street and got a better look at the horrific damage. Amazingly our whole side was untouched. Our block was pretty much standard size from one side to the other maybe 20 feet of street and then lawns to the other side. Nothing was left but some foundations and pieces of houses. No one was on site yet from either the police or fire department, which made me believe there was destruction in other parts of town too. Luckily as far as I could tell my truck was totally untouched and there was another way out of this neighborhood if I had to go to the fire department. I almost wished I didn't have the boys because I would have taken off immediately for the firehouse. But I was needed here. Before I could get across the street I saw the first person on the ground. I approached and I didn't have to get any closer I could see without a doubt they were dead. Without going into details too deeply body parts were missing. I felt like I wanted to puke but I had seen worse in fires so I fought the feeling back and moved on down the street. Bastions house was fine and as I looked over he came out and over to me. "Stop! Don't come over here. Please!!!" I didn't want him to see this person that looked like one of our elder neighbors. It was too late though he saw her and started to scream. I ran to him and picked him up and carried him back to his house. His mom was there and I brought him into the house and put him on the couch. I briefly told her what happened and she looked a little sick but understood. I patted Bastion on the head and grabbed his mom's arm for support as I took off back outside. "I'll come back later Bonnie to see how he is but take care of him he saw a pretty nasty thing and I don't know how he will handle it." She nodded and I left to see if I could help out. Finally an engine and police car had arrived. I ran up to them and it was one of our other companies but I knew the guys just the same. I was quickly filled in on what happened across town. Luckily? The storm only did minor damage where it touched down by the school. The rest of the department was over there fighting a house fire that was started by downed wires and this truck was all that was free. It was close to mass hysteria but in a strange way! Controlled now, to a degree! We looked and searched the remains of what was left of the houses across the street. Eventually more help showed up and freed me to go back to the boys. I talked to the on duty captain and told him I had to go back to them and he understood and released me from duty for now. In the short time I was gone I counted 7 houses destroyed and at least 4 dead. Who knows how many were injured. I stopped back at Bastions house and he let me in and gave me a big hug. "Are you okay now pal?" "Yeah but that lady, was it Mrs. Walker?" "I'm afraid so Bastion." He started to cry. "She was so nice to me. He said through his tears. She looked so beat up and just laying there in the street." His mom came over and he went to her. I went to both of then and tried to tell then it would be okay eventually. I rubbed Bastions head a little and then I had to go. "I'll see you later Bonnie. If you need anything I am just next door." "Okay JR. Thanks a bunch." She gave me a little kiss on the cheek and I left. I went back home and fired up my generator I had in the garage and we had lights and some power. The boys opened the door to the garage from the house and ran out to me firing off questions faster then I could answer. "Calm down boys. Please!" Finally I could make out what they were saying. I answered as many questions as I could and told them what I knew. At last I had them calm and had to get in touch with their parents somehow. By now they had to be panic-stricken with worry over their kids unless they hadn't heard what happened yet. "We need to find your parents guys so let's go into town. I am going to leave a note on the door just incase they come by." I wrote a long detailed note about how we were okay and we took off for a phone that worked somewhere. My cell was still dead or that would have solved the problem easily. Once we got off my block travel was quite easy. We didn't see any other damage at all until we reached the center of town. It was pretty beat up like my block was and there was still a lot of confusion. We stopped by Matt's house and his mom was there and almost hysterical with worry. We calmed her and she held Matt tightly as I said my goodbyes and left with Nick. Finally after driving for a while we found a phone that worked and Nick called his mom who was a distance away and not affected at all by this storm. He told her he was okay and after I reassured her we took off to head back home. But first I called my captain to see if I was needed. He told me I was but he understood I had to take care of Nick and they would handle it with their manpower but to make sure I was in, in the morning. That wouldn't be a problem but I sure needed to rest. Now with the neighborhood in total disarray I didn't know how well I would sleep but I'll find a way. I stopped back at Bonnie's house and I asked her if she could watch over Nick tomorrow since I didn't want him to be alone in the neighborhood until it was safer. She said yes without hesitating. "Okay Bonnie. Thanks. I have power by my place so if it doesn't come back on soon and you need something don't hesitate to come over. Even if it's so your food doesn't spoil in the freezer. Bring it by." "Okay JR, thanks. If I have to I will." "Okay and call no matter what time if you need me that is if the phones work again soon." "Sure thing. Thanks, you're such a dear." I smiled at her and we took off for my house. I was so glad I bought that generator but never thought it would be for a reason like this. The house was the only one lite on the block now as it had grown dark and people were still outside wondering what was going to happen next. The sky was clear and the town was a disaster as I shut the door and tried to make a night out of what was left of it. It was just before 9pm now and I was beat. All that happened in just about 2 hours. What a shame so many had to die and lose their homes. It finally hit me and I sat down on my couch and started to cry. Nick came over and sat next to me and tried to comfort me some. I just couldn't stop thinking about Mrs. Walker and how often we talked about how it was such a nice neighborhood to live in. Nick swelled up and together we sat there and got out our feelings over what we saw tonight, I felt a little embarrassed over it but still with such a disaster how should I feel? After a little bit I lay back and Nick laid his head on me and we fell asleep there on the couch. I woke up about 2am and carried Nick up to bed, set my alarm and checked the generator before trying to get a few more hours sleep. I was sure I was keeping the whole neighborhood up with my generator but then I realized that there wasn't a lot of it left and the noise being made by the rescue workers and crew probably was louder then my generator anyway. I finally dozed off around 2:30 and was awakened by my alarm at 5am. I shut if off and put on a light. Nick was in the bed again and deep asleep on the opposite side. I just let him rest there and went in to get ready for work. Although I told him what I expected before we passed out last night I left him a note anyway just to be sure. He knew he had to go over to Bastions place when he got up so I was okay with letting him sleep in. I turned off the generator and was out of the house by 5:30 and heading to the firehouse as fast as I could. I knew those guys needed relief and I wanted to give it ASAP! My replacement left and the other fresh men filed in from their sleep or sleepless night and we assumed our jobs for the day. We had a meeting over what happened and found out that power should be back on today in our area and by the school too. All that was left was clean up and we didn't have to be involved in that unless there was a fire. The day was eerily quiet considering what we knew happened last night. A lot of the guys were tired and up all night. I think I was the only one that got sleep so I did a lot of the maintenance and chores that had to be done, it was greatly appreciated since I couldn't chip in and help last night at least I gave them the rest they needed now. We only had two alarms all day and they were minor. Before I knew it 2pm arrived and we were dismissed for the day and I flew home to check out the neighborhood in daylight. Nick was outside with Bastion and Tommy playing away from the mess. I guess they just needed to be together. The cell phone worked again but not my house phone. Power was still out. But we were promised it would be on by dark. I talked to the boys to see if they were interested in football practice and they told me it was better then hanging around doing nothing. I called coach Fergus and ironically he was about to call me for my opinion. We talked for a bit and decided it would be best to practice all teams tonight just to get the kids together and away from what happened. I called Matt and told him that and he was happy and told me he would talk to his mom and come over about an hour before practice and go in with Nick and I. "Okay Matt but you better make it 3:30 I still have to get Nick new equipment today so I am going in by 4:30." "Oh, okay 3:30 is fine too. I am bored already with TV and stuff since mom doesn't want me out of the house today with everything that happened last night." "Do you need me to pick you up then?" "Yeah, that might be better. Mom won't let me walk to your neighborhood with things the way they are." "I'll be by in about an hour then Matt. See ya." "K, bye." We hung up and I walked back over to them and told them what was going on. Fergus was going to call all the kids in our group and we were meeting at the practice field for a regular practice. They were all happy about that since it now gave them something to do tonight, as was I since the other team we had to scrimmage on Wednesday wouldn't go lightly on us with or without what had happened. I told Nick I was going home to change and he could do what he wanted for the next hour. "Just make sure your back by 3:30 we have to go and suit you up and I don't want it cutting into practice time." "No problem JR. I'll be home in a little bit. I am hungry." I thought to myself, so what else is new! "Then get your butt home now and I will feed you I don't want you eating too late or close to practice." "Okay 5 more minutes and I will be right there." I nodded to him and headed back to my house. They had the heavy machinery in and already were removing some of the wood and debris from one of the houses across the street. They had money and I guess that got them started on rebuilding right away. I had heard that as long as anyone remembers nothing this serious weather related ever hit this area of the state so it was a freak storm. I went into the back yard to fish some leaves and crap out of the pool. There was a mess in it and I had a lot of work to get it back up and running and clean again. Keeping his word Nick was home in about 5 minutes. He really was a good boy. I worked a little longer and then went inside to make him a bite to eat. I looked outside and saw him doing what I was doing before, for me. He picked up the strainer and was lifting stuff out of the pool. A few minutes later I had a sandwich ready and went to the back with it and a glass of ice tea. Since he was helping I brought the food to him as well as mine and we sat outside and ate. In between bites I talked to him about last night just to make sure there weren't any fears about what happened left in his mind. "How's the grub?" "Huh?" "The sandwich?" "Oh, good, thanks." "Thanks for helping me with the pool some." "Welcome. After all I use it too. Its only fair I do something for you since your letting me live here and be happy." "You are doing something for me. Every time I look at you. That cute mug of yours makes me smile. Just knowing you're around and Matt is makes me very happy." I was done eating and it was time to go get Matt. I got up and took my plate and gave him a pat on the head. "Thanks for lunch JR." "Anytime my friend, anytime. I am going to get Matt. You coming or want to stay here?" "No, he said with a mouth full. I want to come with you." "Okay, finish eating it's still a little early so... I told him 3:30, its 3:15." I went in and put the glass in the sink and grabbed my wallet and keys and locked up the front door. The power came on just as I did that and thankfully I got to shut off that noisy generator. Now I can filter the pool clean. After I got everything set with the power back on I met Nick in the kitchen and we left thru the garage door and took off to get Matt. The ride was short but with Nick in the front seat I couldn't help but play with him and bust his balls a little. I kept running my hand up his leg and he would look at me and then push it away and giggle. I notice a little bulge in his pants forming and I decided I better stop or risk Matt seeing it and getting mad. "Why did you stop? It was just getting interesting, see!" "Yeah I saw it alright. Matt might too and we don't need that." "Yeah, oh. That's true. But if was feeling good." "Then why did you keep pushing my hand away?" He looked at me. "Because if I didn't at least fight back some you might think I am easy." We were at a red light and his comment shocked me. "Really? Now where did you get that thought from?" "I dunno. Just felt that way." "Well if you don't want me to play all you have to do is ask me to stop and I will right away ya know." "If I wanted you to stop, haha! Never. JR you make me feel great. Not just when you do that. Always. You care about me more then my old man ever did. You're always showing me attention and doing stuff. I love you." "Thanks Nicky. I love you too pal. But let's keep that between us. Matt has the same feelings and I don't ever want to hurt him." "Right!" All that talking brought us right to his front door and he flew out of the empty house and to the truck. "Aww, man! I wanted front seat." Reluctantly but kindly Nick gave it up and moved into the rear without saying much at all. What a good kid. Most would fight it. Matt smiled, threw his gear in the rear of my truck, and got in. "Thanks Nick. I owe ya one." "I won't forget that Matt!" "No problem. Hi JR. he focused his attention on me. How's the neighborhood?" "Getting better the power is back on and we are doing a little better. You'll see in a bit I am going home first. Nick I want you to grab a pair of sweats not just those shorts just in case okay?" "Sure." I reached over and gave Matt a kiss on the head. By now I didn't think Nick would care especially after what the three of us went through last night. I checked the mirror after I did that and Nick had a smile on his face. He knew something was between us I think. Matt looked at me like I was crazy and said nothing. Nick giggled and Matt turned around. "What are you laughing at?" "The look on your face when he did that." "Why?" "You looked shocked; he kissed your head Matt." "Well?" "Hey man don't give it a thought its kewl with me, even more after last night I understand totally and don't have a problem with it man. Whatever happens between us when we are together stays with us? Okay?" "Sure. Thanks Nick." I saw Nicky smile at him in the mirror and I was very happy with that. That only means things might develop between all of us now. "Matt you're staying by us tonight?" "I think so." "Did you bring a change of clothes?" "No, I forgot to." "Then we will go now and you can get them." "Kewl, you're off tomorrow right?" "Yes until after our scrimmage. I go back Thursday and then I work for 5 straight. So my next day off won't be until next week on Tuesday. Then I get three days off in a row. Gotta love this job for free time! But that's about it haha." "Yeah, I bet." "But your job is so important JR. You save lives, risk your own, fight fires and take care of others when needed and you coach us and teach us how to be football players in between all that. If it wasn't for you and coach Fergus we wouldn't be learning what we are." I thought about what Nick said and even though I knew all that I suddenly realized how important it was. I guess Nick woke me up some after I had gotten into a rut doing the same job day in and day out. "Thanks Nicky those are kind words. Even if we weren't coaching you, someone would do it but I understand what you mean." I reached back to him as best I could while driving and grabbed his leg and gave it a squeeze. "You two are so special and very important to me. I suppose I have grown attached to both of you now and don't know what I would do without you. Last night was one of the scariest times in my life ever! But somehow knowing I had you two there and I had to keep the both of you safe gave me strength to get through it when I felt like losing it myself. I knew what was happening and the only thing on my mind was keeping you and Matt safe until the danger passed. Now you go and make me see how important my job is after doing it for so long I almost forgot how important it is." "Yeah well I didn't! That's twice in the past week you have saved my life JR and no matter what happens I will never, ever forget it. I didn't remember a lot about the fire and never got to talk to you about it until now but I was told by my sister that I was not breathing and you brought me back to life. I can't tell you what that means to me and how sorry I am for not telling you this sooner. Thanks JR! Thanks for my life." I was touched and very proud of his words. Again what I did was so second natured that it didn't even penetrate until he said it. I fought back tears as we pulled up in front of Matt's house. He got out to get a change of clothes and I had time to face Nick now and really let him know my feelings. I turned and faced him in the back seat. "You know its not easy being a coach and on top of that trying to take care of you guys and do what's right all the time. Look at me! I fucked things up all the time. I am doing things with you at your age and that is wrong and so on. But that isn't the point I am trying to make. What is important to me is that even at your age you are showing me something I rarely get which is support and thanks." I put my hand on his face by his chin. "You're such a special kid. I don't quite know what to say to you anymore. Not many people say thanks to us as coaches but also you have said it with meaning behind it. It's so sweet of you to do that and I thank you. You really are a great kid and if I would have lost you the day of the fire I would have lost not only someone special, I would have lost a piece of my heart too." It was getting way too sentimental in the truck and I was almost glad Matt made his way back so quickly. I leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek before Matt got in and gave the end of his nose a brush as he smiled at me. His smile is a beacon of light and I am so glad it wasn't dashed the day of the fire. I wasn't sure if he could get through that but now I know he would make it just fine. "I know we have to stop this since Matt is back but I just wanted to say really fast that the things we do sexually might not be right, but they are what I want and enjoy so don't ever worry about that again. Wrong or right it's my choice and I am glad I made it with you." I couldn't say anymore Matt opened the truck door and got in. The mood in the truck was so upbeat and mushy that we were both so quiet when he got in he actually looked at us like something was wrong. Nicky and I weren't done with this by far but for now we had to be. I don't know if it's possible to love two kids this age but suddenly I do and I am not talking sexually either. I mean sincerely with my heart. I can't guess what is in Nick's mind but I know what is in his heart after the past 5 minutes and it's definitely full of love. I am in awe. "Is everything okay in here? I mean I was only gone for a few minutes and you two look like someone died!" We both laughed at Matt's comment, which puzzled him even more. I rubbed his cute mop and looked at him. "If you only knew Matt. When the time is right and that will be soon for you! But for now just know that there isn't anything wrong in here. Not one thing!" I threw the truck into gear and took off with a refreshed and renewed feeling of accomplishment pumping through my body thanks to my chat with Nicky. Too bad Matt was as confused as anyone his age could be. He looked at Nick in the back seat and all Nick could do was smile and act giddy almost like he had a feather stuck in his ass. I was smiling and driving feeling like Nick looked. "Alright now what happened while I was gone? You two look like you had sex or something." We both bust out laughing uncontrollably and this just confused Matt even more. I didn't have a clue what to tell him but as soon as I regain my senses I'll think of something. I am glad no cops are around I almost drove off the road I was laughing so hard for a second. I looked in the back through the mirror and I couldn't see Nick he fell over. Poor Matt. Good thing we were back at my house and I could park and try to explain this to him. "Come inside and I will try to tell you what you missed." He went ahead and I waited for Nick to get out and shut the door. "Do you care what he learns Nick? I mean I don't want to get him upset about anything too sexual but if I accidentally slip a little of that in are you okay with it?" "Yeah but won't he get mad if he finds out we did something?" "No, well maybe, but he has the hot's for you. He really thinks you're cute and boy I should keep my mouth shut I am just getting myself in deeper and deeper here. Just know this. If he thinks you really like him or might even be interesting in fooling around with him that would probably get rid of any anger he could have. So are you up for it?" "Hell yeah! I think he's cute too. I just haven't said anything because I was scared and didn't know better. Wow this is really kewl!" "Yeah just think of the possibilities now." "Huh?" "Never mind, just get in the house before Matt loses his mind." We got somewhat settled as I tried to figure out what to say to Matt. He sat on the couch and Nick next to him. I sat in front of both of them on the coffee table so I could feel like I wasn't out of the room while trying to get through this. "Well?" Matt said. "Calm down kid. I am just trying to figure out how to put this so you don't get mad." "Mad at what?" "Okay listen... where to start this? Well, when you came back Nick and I were talking about life and my saving his and stuff so we were quite sentimental at that moment. But there is more. Nicky knows you have a crush on him and we have fooled around some too." "Nicky knows what and you have done WHAT?" Nick tried to talk but Matt cut him off. "Calm down Matt. Listen to me. Nicky likes you just like you do him, which is the good news. Now if you want to call this bad that is up to you but Nick and I sort of fooled around a little." "That is what I thought I heard you say. Fooled around how and did you say Nicky likes me?" It finally sunk in past the fooling around part. I hope it did. Nick spoke up. "Yeah Matt. I have a crush on you and have for a while. JR told me a little while ago that you liked me too and that was sort of what we were talking about when you came back from getting your clothes." "AWESOME! But what about the fooling around part?" "Well it was really my fault Matt. I sort of did it to JR and he tried to behave but I am sorry. We were in the room and I sort of exposed myself to him on purpose and he did try to get me to stop but I jerked it and he got all excited and I hope I don't have to explain anymore." "Well you don't if you don't want to but I was starting to get hard from it." "Matt, not now. I said to him. We have to leave and I am sorry boys but an orgy right now is out of the question." They both laughed at that. Then Nick spoke again. "So you're not mad at JR are you? It really was my fault we fooled around." "No I never was mad I was too excited that you like me but I couldn't say anything because neither of you would shut up long enough." "So Matt you like the idea that Nick is fond of you too then?" "Hell yeah. Do you think after practice the three of us might do something?" "Well I don't know Matt. I looked at Nick and he smiled and looked at Matt. Nick hasn't said no yet." "Do we have to go to practice JR?" "You really don't want me to answer that do you Matt?" "No, I know what we have to do but now I am so interested in this and horny. He stood up. Look, my cock is hard." And it was almost popping out of his shorts. I started to get hard. "Okay boys we have to get to practice before this gets out of hand. Come on I have to suit up Nick before everyone gets there. Let's go. We will discuss tonight after practice." Both boys got up at the same time and totally accidental but almost ironically fell over each other. I watched for some play but all I saw was embarrassment to a degree. I couldn't resist a comment. "Hey I thought I told you two not now." They both looked at me and after a second I laughed to relief the tension of what happened. "I know it was an accident you two, come on lets go." And off we went. Into the truck and headed to practice. The mood in the truck was different this time, as both boys now knew the interests they shared were mutual and I could sense the excitement that could develop tonight. I wanted to say something but I just let quiet reign for now. It was still very early when we arrived at the clubhouse to suit up Nick. The three of us entered and I shut the door behind us automatically locking it. "Go find some shoulder pads Nick. Matt will you help him please." Both boys took off for the pile of stuff in the back room. I went to grab the pants and remainder of his gear and they soon joined me with shoulder pads. "Okay Nick should I measure you again for your stuff?" He looked at me and then at Matt and finally back at me. "I guess so JR but... a long pause. But last time we did this alone." I got the hint and as much as I hated to ask Matt to step outside because of how well things just went in the truck I had to. I pulled him aside and did it nicely. "Matt I don't know what his problem is but he does have the right to undress without company so I hate to ask you to wait outside but would you please?" He shot me a look. "Hey. I'm sorry it was his choice not mine. We won't be long." Animated and mad Matt looked at Nick and headed outside. "Why did you do that? First off your both boys and second the way we talked in the truck on the way over lead me to think you didn't care if he saw you naked or otherwise anymore." "I don't care." "But why did you make me chase him outside?" "Two reasons. First because I want our first time together to be special and not in some cold cement floor building and the second is because I want this to be just like the last time. You measured me, just the two of us. So could you please do everything just like last time... please?" I didn't quite understand what he was getting at but I didn't care. We were alone and he must have had some sexual thought about last time that carried over to this time or he was crazy. Either way I just wanted to get this over with before we had company. "Okay Nick. Go get on the scale." He walked over and got on the scale. I decided to play along even though I knew he wouldn't be close to over the limit. He stepped on the scale for me. "Wow 129. I am afraid you're going to have to take off those shorts and underwear for me. You're very close to the limit." I was playing his game and I suddenly realized that either it was my imagination or he had a boner under those shorts. I waited to see. He dropped them and I got my answer. "Nick? Is this why you didn't want him in here? You have a hard on?" "Yeah. I knew if he was here it wouldn't be a good thing so I figured if he left I wouldn't have to hide this." As he was saying that he dropped his underwear and got back on the scale while standing totally at attention for me. I didn't want to stop now so I weighed him again. "That's a better weight Nick 126." As I said that I reached down and grabbed a hold of his rod. "And I am afraid this isn't acceptable behavior son. You are going to have to take care of that or your girdle won't fit on." As I was saying that to him I began stroking his hard rod. I was looking into his eyes and he smiled and shut them. I leaned over to him as I took a handful of his balls. "As much as I want to Nick we can't do this in here. Sorry pal it will have to wait for tonight so let this thing go down and get dressed. Your stuff is right here." I let go of his manhood as much as I hate to and he frowned and grabbed it, gave it a few strokes on his own and then got off the scale and went to get dressed. I sure hated to do that more then ever but Matt was outside and anyone else could have been too. As soon as he was decent I went and opened the front door to the building and looked for Matt. He was sitting right out front with one of the others that arrived early. "Hi Kyle, good to see you again. Where is your twin?" "Oh, Josh is running a little late coach. He should be along soon." "No problem. I'll be out soon just finishing suiting up Nick." I turned and headed back inside. Damn kid was a real Adonis. So was his brother. Good athletes too. It was nice having them on the team they did what was asked of them and rarely complained and those blue eyes didn't hurt to look into either. I went back to Nick and he was just about suited up. "Don't wear the pads yet just try them on. We are going to probably loosen up without them and then put them on later. That's up to coach Fergus." "Okay JR. then I am done. Let's get out of here it's hot." "I know I opened the front door but I think we heated this place up by ourselves before." He looked at me and smiled and grabbed his helmet and shoulder pads and jogged outside. I followed and went over into the shade to get out of the hot sun until practice was going to begin. I wanted to kick a few but it was too warm and I didn't want to get soaked so I passed today on that idea. Kids were showing up anyway now and as they did the questions started to fly about the tornado and other things. So I just talked to all of them and answered what I could. Bastion showed up and looked okay but I wanted to talk to him alone so I pulled him aside. "How are you doing today? Any problems last night?" "No JR thanks for asking though. I am doing pretty well but I still miss Mrs. Walker." "I understand that Sebastian but in time you will heal as will our neighborhood. The sooner they rebuild it the better we all will be." "Yeah, I guess so." "Go talk to your friends and I'll talk to you later." "Okay, see you later." "Right." I had some small talk with a few of the kids as time passed and more and more kids showed up. We learned that two of the younger kids were hurt in the storm but should be okay soon. Fergus showed up and we talked about things and started practice. "Okay guy's helmets on and let's take a lap and loosen up the legs." Fergus yelled. And off they went. While they were running we discussed what we wanted to get done tonight since we only have today and tomorrow before we have to scrimmage Hillsdale and they always play tough and seem to find a way to kick our ass every year. Not this year thought, I hope. We have a strong, amazing team and I think we could beat anyone. The guys were back and now doing their exercises. I needed to loosen up a little bit so I decided to kick the ball while they loosened up themselves. I got off a few nice punts too. One sailed about 55 yards and I walked down to get it and kicked it back with a nice spiral but only about 40 yards this time. Can't have everything! Exercise was over so we sent them on another lap and then for a 5-minute water break. Bill and I talked and we decided to work on defense today and offense tomorrow and special teams towards the end of both practices. Break was over and we set up our best "D" and went to work. We were running a 5-3 stack and a 6-2 occasionally. We ran plays off a make shift offense and covered as many angles as we could with what we knew about Hillsdale. I put in a goal line play just incase it was needed but it needed work and won't be ready before the season begins in two weeks. After about 90 minutes of this and a few breaks we switched off and went to special teams. I had Mike snap a few for punting practice Matt was my punter and for kicking I decided on Eric. He seemed to be booting the ball almost as far as me at times just had a problem with height. Eric almost got the punting spot from Matt, but Matt got a lot more height on his punts so Eric is his backup for that and Kyle is Eric's backup, one of those twins I mentioned. We ran several punt plays and a few kickoffs although we won't be doing that in the scrimmage, just punting when forced to. We finished up the night with some good wind sprints, which the kids hate and then headed out as dark was starting to fall. Bill talked to the kids before we broke about making sure everyone was there tomorrow for offensive practice and he told us that the rest of the groups would return tomorrow too so we would have to go back to sharing the field. It was great today since we had the whole thing to ourselves for almost 3 hours. As always I had a group waiting at my truck for a ride home. Usually took me an extra 20 minutes to drop off all of them but since Nick and Matt were coming home with me as well as Bastion that just left me to drop off Tommy, Eric and the twins, Kyle and Josh. I talked to Bill for a bit and then we all hung out in the parking lot for a few more just bullshitting and bonding with each other before finally calling it a night about 8:30. I dropped off the twins and then Eric and finally Tommy before heading home. Tommy and I didn't get to talk tonight but I did get a big smile from him on a water break and before he got in the truck. Maybe tomorrow he'll stop over with a few others to use the pool. They know I am off the next two days so someone is probably going to come over. Never know! I have to finish cleaning the pool tomorrow morning anyway. I shocked it tonight to make sure it was pure for tomorrow. I hear it's going to be another hot one and then cool off Wednesday, which is great, so we don't lose anyone to heat that night. Hillsdale has lights so we probably will have a late night Wednesday. I think the junior team is going too. I stopped and picked up a cup of coffee and a few lottery tickets before going home. Maybe I can win so we can get our own lights. A few minutes later we were pulling into my driveway and out of the truck. "G'night Bastion." "Nite, thanks for the ride." "Anytime pal. See you tomorrow for a swim?" "Yeah sound good what time?" "Anytime after 12:00 is fine." "Okay thanks again. Night." He took off for home and I headed into the house with two smelly football players. "Okay who's hitting the shower first? You both need one." They looked at each other and then at me. "What? I have to decide this?" "Well actually JR we were talking earlier and hoping maybe the three of us could shower together or something." "Wow! Where did that come from? Are you two ready for that? Nick? Matt? Are you sure?" "I think I am. Said Matt." "Yeah, me too." "That is going to be one awfully crowded shower ya know. It's not that big. Maybe I will watch and let you two enjoy this time." "But we wanted you there for our first time. I have never seen Nick and he has never seen me naked and you have seen us both at one time or another I think." I was shocked he wasn't upset with this and even more that they both wanted to do this. "Yes, I have seen you both naked." Nick shouted out, "Who's bigger?" Matt looked at him as if to brag. Pretty sure he was. "Well JR? Who's bigger me or Nick?" "I really think your both around the same. Both four or so inches. But if you really want to know when your both hard, if it gets that far, I will measure you both and we will have a cock champ." "Can I measure you JR?" "Well Matt we'll see about that okay?" "First you guys strip out of those practice uniforms and then we will go upstairs." Both of them started to undress in front of me and slowly were stripping down to their girdles and then underwear. "Leave them on Nick." As I thought he was going to go all the way. "I wasn't going to yet. I mean you saw it but Matt hasn't yet and I don't want him to just yet." "Okay that's fine." I now had two kids in their underwear in my living room. Both starting to sport a hardon too it appeared. I walked over to Nick who seemed to be growing faster. "Wow Nick, are you a little excited?" He blushed and smiled without saying a word. I took my hand and rubbed it over the outside of his underwear and I felt his cock jump and him gasp a little. "Feel good?" "Yeah." He managed to squeak out. "Hey what about me? Matt said. He came closer and I turned around facing him. "Well you're not growing yet do you need some help?" I took my hand and rubbed it slowly over his soft cock and it sprung up. "That didn't take much. Great thing about your age, a strong breeze gets you hard." "Why, doesn't that work for you too?" "Not as much now Nick. Still can get wood when I want to but not that fast. Guess maybe I will let you try and see if you can get me hard. What do you think Matt?" "Sure, I don't care. I'll get my turn right?" "Sure will sweetie. You sure will! Come on let's go boys. Upstairs so we can begin the game of who sucks the first cock tonight." I headed up and they both followed. I should have gone last so I could see their cute asses but I am sure I will shortly. I turned the shower water on and let it warm up the room not that we needed it. The place was plenty warm with the excitement that was ongoing at the moment. I can't wait to see who wants to do what in a little while. To be continued.... dwednomail@hotmail.com Next up: Chapter 11. "Two Boy's No Waiting.... there is a hint if any... Will the boys get JR in trouble or will they get along and behave so everyone benefits???
