CHAPTER 37

BRIAN MEETS THE FAMILY

 

We all got out of the coach, Ma climbed into the Jeep while Pa and I unhooked it. Once it was unhooked, Ma backed it up, so Pa could turn the coach around. Once the coach was in place beside the house, Pa hooked up the electrical and water, while I opened up the sides.

We had just finished everything when a man and a boy who looked about fourteen came out of the house and headed our way. The man looked like he was in his thirties or so. His hair is mostly black with gray or white mixed in. He was tall maybe six foot five and has a bit of a gut on him. He is not fat I guess just what I have heard called a beer belly. He was wearing shorts, but no shirt, and has a lot of chest hair. He also has a cool mustache that turns up on the ends. He walked right up to Pa and said, "It is so great to see you, brother-in-law."

"Roger, it has been way to long" They wrapped each other in a hug and kissed on the lips.

He turned to Ma, "Evelyn, you just get prettier every time I see you."

"Roger, you are so full of it, but don't stop." She said with a laugh.

As they were hugging, the boy walked up to Pa. The boy was just a little over five foot. He has white-blond hair, and brown eyes. The thing that was weird, was that he looked like a boy, but older, I guess. I could swear he was a boy when I first saw him, but now, I am not so sure. That is when I heard him say, "Hi brother, I have missed you so much."

"Little brother, I miss you every day you are not with me." Then they hugged and kissed each other for a long time.

I guess I am slow because it finally hit me that this was Drew. He let go of Pa and hugged and kissed Ma. That is when he turned and looked at me. A big smile crossed his face as he walked up to me. "I guess you are my new handsome nephew."

I smiled, "I guess that would make you my new Uncle Drew." I held out my hand to shake his, but he pushed my hand out of the way and gave me hug that knocked the wind out of me.

When he finally let go, Roger stepped up and said, "Sorry kid, we are huggers in this family." He grabbed me and hugged me, thankfully not as hard as Uncle Drew.

When he let me go, "It is nice to meet you Uncle Roger."

Drew said, "Well let's get out of this heat and get this boy inside, so he can meet his cousins."

We all went into the house, as soon as the door closed I heard, "No way you are beating me Jarod. I got you now, BOOM, and another victory for the Crossman kid." I heard laughing then silence, "I am sorry I couldn't get with you this weekend... Yeah, I guess they should be here any time now... I was not sure about meeting my new cousin, but after I thought about it, I am kinda excited. I have never had a cousin before... No, I am not worried about it, if Uncle Ken and Aunt Evelyn love him, than I am sure I will to."

Uncle Roger cleared his throat, "Roberto it is time to get off the game now please."

From the other side of the sofa a head popped up wearing headphones, "Gotta go dude, they're here." He stood up and came around the sofa and ran right into Pa's arms, "Uncle Ken, I have missed you."

"I have missed you to. You have grown so much since last year."

As he moved to hug Ma, I got a good look at him. I already knew he was fourteen, but I didn't know how hot he was. He was about five foot six inches tall his hair was black, curly, and hung down to his shoulder blades. He had braces and a face full of freckles that you could see even though his skin was tan. He had the makings of a six pack and was wearing a PCU. It was silver with a design that I could not make out. It was not one that goes inside though.

Pa put his hand on the boys shoulder and said, "Roberto, this is my wonderful son Brian, your new cousin."

Again, my hand got slapped out of the way and I got a hug and a kiss on the lips. As I have said before, I am much more into men than boys, but Roberto is really hot. "Hi cousin, it is nice to meet you."

Once I caught my breath, "It is great meeting you too. I have never had a cousin before."

"Same here."

"Rob, can you please get your brother for me?" Asked Uncle Roger.

"Sure dad." I thought he was going to get him, but he yelled, "Arturo, they're here."

Drew rolled his eyes, "We could have done that."

"I know, but you're old and might have hurt yourself." He giggled as he evaded a smack on the butt.

I could not help but laugh. That is when I heard little feet running down the hallway. In ran my seven-year-old cousin wearing nothing but a cape and those mirrored sunglasses that wrap around your eyes. He was about three foot five inches tall, black hair like his brothers but cut short, I couldn't see his eyes through the glasses, and chunky. I hope he can lose the weight, so he doesn't go through the teasing I did.

He was running and jumped up in the air and landed right in front of me with his hands on his hips. In as deep a voice as a seven-year-old can he said, "Welcome stranger, I am Super Arturo."

Seeing his brother roll his eyes, I pretended to be looking up the hallway and said, "Hello Super Arturo. Please forgive me, I am a little nervous."

Still in his deep superhero voice, "What are you nervous about, maybe I can help."

I dropped to my knees. "You see, this is my first time meeting my new cousins. I met Roberto, but I have not met my little cousin Arturo yet. I am nervous that he won't like me." I pretended I just had a thought, "Hey, Super Arturo, maybe you can help."

"How can I help stranger?"

"Maybe, and I know it is a lot to ask, but do you think you could fly around and find my little cousin? I would like him to know I am here and want to meet him."

"Yes stranger, I think I can do that." With that he ran back up the hall with his cape flapping behind him.

I stood up and Roberto ask, "Why did you do that? I have been trying to get him to stop that."

I laughed, "Why, he is having fun."

He rolled his eyes again, "Thank you Brian, that was nice of you to play along." Said Uncle Roger, giving Roberto a look.

I heard the feet on the hardwood floor again, and this time a boys voice yelling, "My new cousin is here!!!" This time he didn't stop, he ran and jumped at me, so I had no choice but to catch him. "Hi, I am your cousin Arturo, but everyone calls me Art."

"I am so glad that Super Arturo was able to find you. I am Brian, but everyone calls me... Brian." I said with a giggle.

He laughed, leaned in, and hugged me, while at the same time whispering in my ear, "Don't tell anyone, but I am Super Arturo."

I pulled back and looked at him, then pulled him back into a hug and whispered, "Wow, I would have never guessed that. I can't believe that I have a superhero for a cousin. Your secret is safe with me."

He pulled back and smiled. Pa said, "Well now my feelings are hurt. You don't even know him, and he gets a hug before me."

He giggled and as soon as his feet touched the floor, he went to Pa, then to Ma for hugs. Roger said, "Boys, why don't you go and show Brian around?"

Roberto said, "Brian, that is their way of saying, go away, the grownups what to talk."

Drew smiled, "How are you not on the Headmasters list? You have such a firm grasp of the obvious."

Without responding we all turned and headed down the hall. Art grabbed my hand, "Come on Brian, I will show you my room." He pulled me into the first room on the left. He let go of my hand and jumped on his bed, "Look at my cool bed Brian." He said excitedly.

The bed was shaped like a race car, and I have to admit it was pretty cool. He had a dresser with a mirror, chest of drawers, and a desk with pictures he was drawing with crayons. The room was a little messy, but I figured he had been playing in it before we got there. As I looked around I said, "Wow this is a cool room. I like my room, but it is not as cool as this one."

"My awesome brother gave me all of is furniture when we moved in here. You want to see something really cool?"

"Sure."

He jumped up and pulled his shade down, then ran over and shut off his lights and closed his door. I was not sure what was happening until I looked up. The ceiling was glowing with what looked like stars, "Oh wow that is amazing. How does it do that?"

Art looked to Roberto who said, "It all started our first night here. Art always slept with a night light, and after dad died, we hadn't moved anything over here yet. This room and my room were quests rooms, so all they really had was beds and dressers. They put us to bed, and Art was only five, and had never slept without a night light. The next morning they found him in my bed and asked what was wrong. Roger and Drew felt really bad about forgetting the whole night light thing. We went off to school and I figured that they would just go buy him a nightlight, but instead, Roger spent the whole day doing this."

"That is really cool. So, this was better than some boring old night light huh?"

Art just smiled and nodded his head, "It sure is."

After putting the blinds back up, we walked next door to Roberto's room. His room was neat as a pin. Noting looked out of place and everything was organized. He had a queen bed with a really nice headboard and frame, dresser with mirror, chest of drawers, and a nice desk with a comfortable office chair. He had shelves with model cars and ships on them, and a few spaceships and airplanes hanging from the ceiling.

"I am sorry they made you clean your room for us, I know most kids hate that part of having guests, I know my brother always did."

He looked at me like he didn't understand what I said. Arturo said, "He didn't clean his room, it is always like this. I had to clean my room and didn't like it."

"Wow, I thought I was the only kid that liked a clean room. My room is always clean, but my best friends Timmy and Owen are always being told to clean their rooms before we can go to the Rec Center."

"No, I like things neat and clean. It drives me crazy when things are out of place."

I sat in the chair while Art and Rob sat on the bed. I finally got up the nerve to ask the question that I had been wondering about. "I want to ask you something, but It is none of my business and you don't need to answer if you don't want to. What happened to your parents?"

Rob sat up, "It's ok. My dad died two years ago from cancer. My mom died..."

"I killed our mom." Art interrupted with tears in his eyes.

This made Rob angry, "Stop that, you didn't kill mom." He looked at me, "Our mom died from a brain thing. Something exploded in her brain, and she just happened to have given birth to Art five minutes before. The Doctor told us that she had a brain aneurysm that could have burst at any time, luckily it happened after Art was born instead of before. Mom got to hold him before she passed. They may have been able to fix it if they had known about it, but there was never a reason to check."

My eyes were filling up with tears. "I am so sorry for your loss."

Rob looked at Art, "Dad told you a million times that it was not your fault, so if you say it again, I swear I will brain you."

I could not help but giggle. Art looked at me, "What's so funny?"

"It's a big brother thing. My big brother Donny threatened to brain me all the time, but always ended up hugging me instead."

Art smiled, turned, and dove on Rob, "You are going to brain me huh, well you just try it buster."

Rob was laughing like crazy as Art kissed him all over his face while tickling him. Rob reached up and wrapped Art in a hug, "Ok, OK, I give."

"Ok, so my next question is, how did you end up here? Did you live on the ranch already?"

Rob sat back up, "No, we weren't Crossman before we came here. We had never even heard of Crossman before we came here."

"So, you didn't know about the sex and being naked all the time?"

This got a chuckle out of Art. Rob said, "Not at all. We knew Drew and Roger; they were at our house all the time. Roger and dad were best friends and worked together."

"But your dad must have known if he and Roger were such good friends?"

"Yes, he knew, but in the end, there were only two choices. We could go into foster care or go with Drew and Roger. I don't know how he felt about all this, but all he cared about was making sure we were somewhere where he knew we would be kept together, cared for, and loved. They proved that to him when dad got really sick, Drew or Roger were always there. They made sure that we got to school, fed, clean clothes, and that dad was ok. Dad wanted to pass at home. He said he wanted to die in the bed he shared with mom and where we were created. That part was TMI as far as I was concerned, but we knew the cancer was bad and that dad was not going to make it."

"I am sorry you had to go through that. I feel like I should be jealous that you got to be there with him when he passed. My family were a long way away from me when they died." I found some tissues on the desk to wipe my eyes. When I looked up at them, I didn't say anything, just passed the box of tissues. "When I came to the Crossman, I knew a little bit about what they were about, but you didn't, what was that like?"

Once Rob finished drying his eyes, "We heard all about what happened to your family. We all cried when we heard about it. We knew you were hanging out at Uncle Ken's house, and figured we would meet you this summer, but when Uncle Ken called crying and told us about it, we all cried." Again we all wiped our eyes. "As for us, It was weird, we stayed at our house till after the funeral..."

 

Roberto

"Ok boys, it is time to go."

I looked up at the man who was going to take us away from the only home we have ever known, "But what about the rest of our stuff?"

"Don't worry about it, once you decide how you want your rooms set up we will get the rest of your stuff. You have this cool race car bed Rob, but I have to wonder if you are too old for that. If you want it in your new room, we will move it over. If you want something that reflects you becoming a teenager, we will go out and get that for you."

I looked at my room and realized that he was right. I sure would not like my new friends seeing it. My best friend Jarod knows about it, and he makes fun of me sometimes, but I know he is just kidding. "I think I would like something different."

Art jumped on the bed, "Does that mean I can have this stuff?"

Roger looked at me, "That is up to you?"

I looked at Art, "That would be fine with me."

Art jumped off of the bed right into my arms, "Thank you, thank you! You are the bestest big brother ever."

We pulled up to these big gates that opened, so we could drive through. We passed all these houses that didn't look much different from ours. We drove up to a nice house with a long driveway. Drew came out of the house, and we ran to hug him, "Just leave your stuff in the car and let me show you your new home. We walked into this really nice house. I am not sure it was any bigger than ours, but as nervous as I was about moving, I could see me liking it here. Everything was so nice, and clean. We walked up the stairs and Drew said, "This room will be yours Arturo. All you have to do is tell us how you want it set up."

Art looked in the room, "Wow, it is so big." He turned and looked a Roger, "Remember you and Rob said I could have his stuff."

Roger turned to Drew, "The furniture in Roberto's room is a little on the young side for a boy his age. Roberto told Arturo that he could have it."

Drew smiled and said, "Then that is what will happen."

Arturo smiled and hugged Drew, "I could get used to all these hugs. Now, let's see Roberto's room."

We walked down the hall and into what would be my room. Roger said, "We can get you brand new furniture that you pick out yourself."

I looked up at him, "Roger, if it is ok with you guys, can I just have my dad's furniture?"

"If that is what you want then that is what we will do. Are you thinking the bed as well, or just the frame?"

I walked over and sat on the bed that was already in the room. "If this bed will fit, I think I would like to use this mattress. My dad was sick for a while, and I don't think that his mattress is good."

"Ok then, I think we have a plan. What about a desk though?"

I walked back into Art's room and asked, "Can't I have this desk since Art will have mine?"

Drew smiled, "I like you're thinking boy."

Once they had shown us the house and our new rooms, We went into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Roger made us hold out our left wrist and he put this red rubber wrist band on us and used a tool to lock it in place, so we could not remove them. "Why do we have to wear these, and why can't we take them off?"

"The Crossman ranch is going to be way different than the way you guys have lived before. These wrist bands will allow you to go into the Rec Center, and other place within the ranch without requiring you to follow the dress code."

"I don't get it, what do you mean dress code?"

"Drew took my hand, "Here on the ranch, the children, women, and most of the men, do not wear clothes. That is not a requirement you two need to follow. The red band let's everyone know that you are not ready to be Crossman."

This got Art all excited, "You mean we get to go nakey, even outside?"

"That is correct."

"I still don't get it."

Roger said, "If you go out the front door and take a right at the bottom of the driveway, and walk straight ahead, at the end of the road you will find the Rec Center. This time of day it will be full of kids. I think it will help you understand things better if you go there and talk to the other kids."

Art and I headed over to the Rec Center and were surprised on the way seeing naked people all over the place. We walked into the center and were immediately surrounded by naked kids. I must have been in shock because I didn't hear my little brother trying to get my attention. I snapped out of it when he finally hit me. "Rob, I want to go nakey."

"No you are not going naked. Let's get out of here." I was mad and grabbed his hand and pulled him to the door. I was looking back at an angry yelling Art, when I ran right into a boy about my age. "Sorry man, I wasn't looking at where I was going."

"It's ok, my name is Michael, but everyone calls me Mikey. Is he ok?"

"He's fine, we are just trying to get out of here."

Art pulled his hand from mine yelling, "I don't want to leave. There are boys over there that are my age." Before I could stop him he ran to a group of younger boys playing with toy trucks in the corner.

"Why are you in such a rush to leave? Come over and let me introduce you some of the other boys."

I was having a hard time dealing with everything that was going on around me. I was also having a hard time in my pants as well. "I am sorry Mikey; I am not like you."

Mike laughed, "That's funny, you look an awful lot like me. You are a boy, so am I. You look like you are about twelve, so am I. You're breathing, so am I." He said with a laugh, "So, aside from the fact you are wearing clothes and I am not, how are you not like me?"

"I mean I am not a Crossman."

"I figured that. Now come with me and meet the guys."

He grabbed my arm and started pulling me. We got to a group of guys and even a few girls all about my age, and all naked. I was having a hard time not looking at their bodies. We talked for around and hour, and that is when I left them and grabbed my brother who was in the process of taking off his shoes, "Put your shoes back on it is time to go."

"I don't want to go." He told me in a whiney voice.

I gave him a look that he knows I get when I am getting angry, "I am not asking you." I knew that everyone was looking at me, but I was too mad to care.

"Fine." He said and put his shoes back on.

We got back to the house, and I stormed into the kitchen where Drew and Roger were, "You guys can forget it. There is no way that we are going around here naked, and we sure aren't having sex with you."

I was expecting some yelling or some kind of anger over the way I just talked to them. The guys told me about how children must show respect at all times. However, all I got was Drew and Roger looking at each other, then Drew said, "Ok."

"I am serious, if my dad had known what happens here, he would have never left us with you."

"I am really hurt by that Roberto. Your dad was my best friend next to Drew. How could you think that I would not be open and honest about this whole thing with him?"

"You mean he knew about the naked and sex stuff?"

"Of course he did. When he found out he was not going to be able to beat this cancer, his only thoughts were of you two. He asked me if we would care for you. Before we said yes, we told him about the Crossman. I wanted to make sure that he knew all about the kind of people he was leaving you boys with. All he cared about was that you were loved and respected."

"How could he say that, knowing that you are going to have sex with us?"

Drew never got mad or hurt, "Boys, look at your left wrists. Roberto, you asked me two questions before you left. The first was "Why do we have to wear these?" The answer is because that lets all the boys and men know that you are not ready for nudity or sex. That is why it is red, with that on your wrist, no one will expect you to be naked, or to have sex. The second question was, "Why can't we take it off?" That is because we never want you to leave the house without it. If you do you will be expected to be naked and have sex."

Roger added, "Your body is controlled by you, you will decide when and if you want what the Crossman have to offer."

Art stood up, "I want to go nakey like the other guys."

"No." I said

"Drew, Roger, he can't make me wear clothes if I don't want to. You guys are in charge, so tell him to let me go nakey."

I was just waiting for them to tell him he could, but instead Roger said, "I am sorry buddy, but he is your big brother, and we will respect his decision on this one."

"That's not fair." He said obviously very angry. Then he turned to me and said, "I hate you Rob, and I will never speak to you again." Then he ran out of the room.

When I turned back to face Drew and Roger, I had tears in my eyes, "He has never said he hates me before."

Drew put an arm around me, "He will be fine, he just needs to get over being mad. I bet he is back talking to you by tonight.

He wasn't talking to me at all, he would not even look at me. We emptied the car, showered, and went to bed. He did come into my bed in the middle of the night, but never said a word. The next morning Art told Drew why he was in my bed. We ate breakfast and drew took us to school.

We were still going to our old school to finish out the school year. Jarod asked me all about it. I told him about the naked thing but left out the sex. "Are you kidding me, no wonder your brother is pissed at you." Jarod said.

I was surprised, "What are you talking about?"

"Every kid in the community is naked, so it is not a big deal. You and I have been naked around each other, what's the problem?"

I was not sure how to answer him. I was so shocked by all of this that I never thought about it. "We were not told about it before hand. We should have been told."

"Ok, I get that, but are you going to let your brother continue to be mad at you for something that is not really a big deal?"

"Wait, so you would do it. Walk naked all over the place?"

"Sure! I can't wait to come visit you." He said with a weird smile and moving his eyebrows up and down."

I punched him in the arm, "You are such a perv."

"I have to ask you a very important question, did you get a hardon around all those naked girls?"

"Dude, I was hard the second I walked into the Rec Center. There is some strange things happening there, but OMG man. I was surrounded by naked girls, and it meant nothing to them" I laughed.

He put his arm around my shoulder, "Did you check out the boys? Maybe they were more excited to see you than the girls." I elbowed him in the ribs as the bell rang.

I had a hard time concentrating in class for the rest of the day. Drew picked me up at three and then we went to the elementary school to pick us Art. He climbed in the car and told Drew all about his day but would not even look at me. It was breaking my heart.

When we got home, Roger was sitting on the stairs. Art ran to him and gave him a hug and told him about his day. Drew looked at me, grabbed my hand, and pulled me to the back porch, "What's up?"

"Nothing."

"Don't give me that, tell me what is going on."

"I think that there is something wrong with me."

He looked at me with concern, "Why, are you not feeling well?"

"No nothing like that. I am just not comfortable with all of this, but my brother wants to do it so bad that he has stopped talking to me. My best friend Jarod thinks I am being stupid and can't wait to spend the night. Am I wrong?"

"Sometimes it is hard doing something totally out of your comfort zone. I really think if you would let yourself relax you would love being a Crossman. However, a lot has happened to you in the last year. You may not be ready for these changes. That being said, is this stand you are making, worth your brother mad at you?"

"But he doesn't understand about the sex."

"He doesn't need to. As long as he is wearing the wrist band, no one will approach him about it. Take some time and think about it. Right now I need you to come with me."

I followed Drew back into the house to find Art sitting on Rogers lap. Roger was sitting with his knees up and Art was sitting on him using Rogers knees as a back rest. Roger asked, "Is everything OK?"

Drew said, "Yep, just need someone to talk to."

Roger lifted Art off of his lap and stood up. Ok guys, I need to show you something. Grab your backpacks and follow me." We walked up the stairs to Art's room. There was a colorful sign on the door that read, `THIS ROOM BELONGS TO ARTURO'. "I think I got this right, but you will have to tell me."

He opened the door to Art's room and there all set up was the furniture out of my old room. Art screamed so loud, then turned to look at Roger and Drew, "Is it really for me?"

"Yep it is your room. Now I need everyone to please step in and close the door." We did and Roger sat next to Art on the bed, "I heard that you slept in your brothers bed last night. I am sorry for not realizing that we didn't have a nightlight for you."

"I am sorry Roger, it was a new room, and really dark." He looked around and said, "I guess you forgot to get me one for tonight."

"I try not to make the same mistake twice." He said as he pushed Art over on his back and nodded at Drew, who turned off the lights.

Art saw it before me, but somehow I was able to still see the look on his face as he looked up. I looked up and there were like stars lighting up the ceiling. "Wow that is so cool. I guess you don't need a nightlight now, huh little brother?"

He didn't even look at me but jumped on Roger and gave him kisses all over his face. "Oh Drew and Roger, I love it so much."

I blew my top, "Fine you little brat, go naked for all I care." I said as I ran out the door, down the stairs, and out the front door. I sat under a tree on the front lawn trying not to cry.

"Hey Rob, what's wrong?"

There in front of me was Mikey from yesterday, and just as naked. He was about my height at five foot three inches, brown hair, brown eyes, not as skinny as me, but not fat either. What I noticed today that I didn't notice yesterday, was that he had no body hair, not even on his legs and arms. His dick was about the same size as mine at four inches. "I am just sick of this place. My brother and me never fought until we got here."

"Is this still about the whole naked thing?"

"Yes, it's weird."

"I guess it could look that way to an outsider, but to us, you wearing clothes on the ranch is weird. I hope I don't make you mad, but why are you stressing out so much about it. You looked at my body, is it really any different than yours?"

"I was not looking at your body, I am not a fag."

"Ok, I will talk this out with you, but the word fag is a word bullies use to describe gay people. We don't talk like that here, and I would appreciate you not doing it in front of me, or at all."

I was surprised how defensive he was, I wondered if he was gay. "I am sorry Mikey I didn't mean to offend you."

"You didn't really, it is just not the way a Crossman talks about others. To answer your question, no, I am not gay. At least I don't think I am. I like girls, but who knows. Anyway, my point was that we are all mostly the same, so why hide it. Try it, you might like it. Come over to the Rec Center and go swimming with us. I guarantee you that after the first few minutes, you won't even know you are naked. Think about it."

"I just don't think I could do it. That is not what I am worried about anyway. I hate this thing between me and my brother. We never fought like this. I just don't know what to do."

"It's not hard dude, let him go nude. He is just a little kid, and clothes are not that big a deal to them anyway. I watched him yesterday just like you did. He was having fun with the other littles, and just wants to be like them."

"But what about the sex? He is too young for that stuff."

"What do you think the Crossman are Rob? We may live a different lifestyle where sex is a good thing not a bad thing. However, I think you are thinking that we are a bunch of rapist. No one is ever forced to do sex or even be naked. All of this is a choice that we have all made. It was easy for us because we were born into it. You will have to make your own choices. As for your brother, no one would even think about touching him, since he is wearing the red band."

"I don't know." Just then Roger came out the door.

Mikey stood and when Roger came close, "Hi Mr. Goldberg."

"Hi Mikey, how are you doing? Wednesday is the big day, you ready for it?"

"I guess. Dad let me pick out this cool one with musical notes engraved all over it. It is so cool."

"I am excited that I got invited and look forward to it." I almost fell over when they hugged and kissed on the lips. It was not a quick one, it lasted like a whole minute.

Once they parted, "Rob, I hope you come swimming with us. If you are not comfortable naked, bring a suit."

I looked up at him, "Maybe."

He headed down the street and Roger sat down next to me. "You ok buddy?"

"I just don't think I can do this Roger. It is just too much, my brain hurts."

"So Roberto, there are other options. If you decide that this is too much for you, a few things can happen."

"Like what?"

"Well, I guess we could find you someplace else to live. The problem with that, is that whoever you want to live with has to be willing to take both of you. Aside from what was said in there, that little boy loves you, and would die if you guys got separated. The bigger issue with that option, it that I would feel like I let your dad down. I gave him my word that I would look after you and love you forever."

"I guess I made kind of the same promise to him. Is there another option?"

"If this is something that you really can't live with, then Drew and I would have to move somewhere else."

"Wait you would move out of the ranch just for me?"

"Yes, you are part of us now and if that means we have to move to make you guys happy, than that is what we will do. It would break our hearts, but for you, we would do it."

"Why would it break your hearts?" I asked.

"Drew and I were born Crossman. We live a certain way, with certain values that are not part of the outside world."

"Oh, you mean the sex and the naked thing."

"That is a very small part of who we are. Let me ask you a question. How much do the kids at your school curse?"

I didn't need to think about, "Lot's, everyone cuss's, even me I guess."

"In the school you would be going to, you won't hear anyone cuss, it is just not how we talk to each other. Do you ever hear about kids whose parents are never around and have to fend for themselves a lot?"

"Sure, there are a bunch of them. You can't be telling me that parents are always around."

"Nope, but kids are never alone. Let's take Mikey for example. Sometimes his parents have to travel for work, or even get tied up and come home late. In that case Mikey will stay with us while they are gone, or just come over for dinner when they are late. However, he will never go to bed without talking to his parents via video call. If something is happening at school, I can guarantee you that the parents will be watching and cheering. In this community you will have so much support for any thing you do."

"I missed my dad coming to my school. Sometimes he just came to hang out with me. Some of the other kids made fun of me, but I liked having him there. I miss him so much." I said as I wiped tears from my eyes."

"Well, the bad news is that when you take math at the new school, Drew will probably be your teacher." Roger wrapped an arm around me and pulled me to him, "I know you miss your dad, and that is a feeling you will have for the rest of your life. Somedays it won't hurt as much, but some days it will. I am going to ask you to do two things for me. First, I want you to go in and apologizes to your brother. The next thing is a big ask. I would like you to give this place six months. After that we will sit down and talk. If you still have issues with this community we will find a new place to live."

I thought about it for a few minutes. I couldn't believe that he would leave the community he grew up in, just for me. "Ok, I will try."

He hugged me and we got up and went into the house. We went up the stairs to Art's room. As soon as he saw me he ran at me crying, "Rob, please don't be mad at me anymore. I won't go nakey if you say no."

He wrapped me in a hug and cried on my shoulder, "I am not mad at you little brother. It is me that should be apologizing to you. I had no right to say that you could not go naked in a community where all of your future friends are. I only have one rule, you must not take your wrist band off before I say it is ok."

He smiled and said, "Deal. No matter how mad I get at you, you know that you are the bestest big brother in the world?"

I laughed, "Of course I do. You know it is easy to be the best big brother, when I have the best little brother in the world."

Roger said, "Enough of this mushy stuff. Roberto, you want to see your room now?"

"Hell... I mean heck yeah I do." We went to the next room down the hall, and I opened the door. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There in my room was all of my mom and dad's furniture, but that was not all. All of my model cars that I had all over my room, most that I built with my dad, were now on shelves or displayed on the walls in little boxes that kinda made them look like they were in picture frames. The models of my B-52 bomber and my model of the starship Enterprise were hanging from the ceiling. I wanted to say something, but I could not form the words.

Drew said, "I told you Roger, he doesn't like it. Let's get it all packed back up."

They both started to move, and that is when I found my voice. I got in front of them and said, "Don't even think about it. I love it, I can't believe you did this for me when I was being such a jerk to you."

Drew said, "You are now our family, and we brought you into a situation that you were not prepared for. What do you say we start over?"

Art jumped on the bed and then onto Rogers back, "I say yes."

Laughing, "I say yes too." I said.

"Ok boys, we will eat dinner at six. Go play for a while."

"Drew, Mikey asked me to come swimming with them at the Rec Center. Do you think it would be ok?"

"I don't see why not. Do you have a swimsuit?"

Not sure where to look, I said, "Somewhere, but the all the guys will be naked, so I guess I should get used to it. I..."

"Spit it out boy." Roger said.

"What if I... You know... I get hard down there?"

They both laughed. Then Roger added, "Boy, I promise you that you will not be the only one."

I asked about taking a towel with me and Roger told me that there were plenty of towels there for us to use. "Ok Art are you coming with me?"

"Yes, I want to go." He ran back into his room while I finished checking mine out. I could not believe that this was the same room I spent last night in. I opened a few of the drawers and found stuff I hadn't even packed. Then I opened up a drawer to find some of my dad's t-shirts. One of them was his Denver Bronco shirt. He and I always cheered for them when we watched a game together. I pulled it out and brought it to my face to smell. I could still smell him on it. I mixed his smell with my tears.

I was hugged from behind and saw Drew in the mirror. "I know it is hard kiddo. When I lost my dad, I couldn't function. If it wasn't for my husband and brother, I am not sure what would have happened. Now, go wash your face and go swimming."

I washed my face, took a deep breath, and resigned myself to what was about to happen. I stopped at Art's room and should have expected what I saw next, "Art, are you ready to go?" Out of his room came my little brother, naked as the day he was born.

Roger stopped him and looked at me. I nodded my head that it was ok. "Art, you are to go straight to the Rec Center and back. You don't have any sunscreen on, and you will burn if you stop to play outside. I want you both to go back to your rooms and put on the Crocs that I left you in there. I would rather you wear some kind of footwear outside."

"But Roger, I'm wearing sneakers."

"Yes you are, but are you planning to wear them when your feet are wet?"

"Oh I guess not." We both went back into our rooms to do what we were told.

As I was taking off my socks, Art came back in and asked, "Aren't you going to go nakey, like me?"

"I have convinced myself to go swimming naked, but I am not sure I am ready to walk around naked."

We left the house and headed over to the Rec Center. I watched my naked little brother just walking out there like it just didn't matter. I wish I could have been that brave.

When we entered the building I saw Mikey playing ping pong with one of the guys I met yesterday. I think is name was Lewis. As soon as he saw me come in with naked Art, he smiled and nodded his head. Art took off running over the group of kids he was playing with yesterday. I am not sure they even noticed that he was naked.

Mikey and Lewis came over, "I am glad you came Rob, I was not sure you would."

"Well some of what you and Roger said made sense. I live here now, so I better get with the program, or it will be very lonely here."

Lewis said, "Rob, I know that you are not comfortable with all of this. I want you to know that just because you are not ready to go naked, does not mean that you would be lonely. We will still be your friends."

"Thanks guys, I think I will be ok. I do kinda want to ask you a question. What do you do if you get hard? I am already hard, and I still have clothes on."

They both laughed. Mikey said, "All I can say is enjoy them, while you can get them."

I was confused, "What do you mean?"

They both laughed and Lewis said, "You'll figure it out."

I grabbed Art and we all went into the locker room where I took a deep breath and stripped. Mikey just looked at me, made a face, and said, "Dude, you better put your clothes back on."

I looked down at myself, "What's wrong?"

Lewis said, "Well, without clothes..."

"What!"

"Well, you look like a naked boy."

They both broke out laughing, "Not funny guys. You had me worried."

Mikey got serious, "Brother, there are two things that will set you apart from everyone else."

"Are you joking with me again, and what is with the brother thing?"

"Ok, the thing about Crossman, is that we are a real tight community. We aren't neighbors or friends, we are family."

Lewis jumped in, "Once you become a Crossman, you will never be alone. You have a brother by blood, but we will always have your back, like you will have ours brother."

We all sat down on the bench, with Art right in front of me listing to everything being said, "Art, those boys you were playing with, will be your friends for the rest of your life. You guys will create a bond that just can't be broken. Rob, we will be going through the rest of our school lives together, and maybe even college. However, no matter where we end up, we will always be brothers, bonded like family."

"Wow, but I doubt that we will go to college together. I am not very good in school."

"You will be because we will help you. As they say in the military, "No man/boy left behind". If you will let us, you will be surprised what we as brothers can do."

"What about me?" Art ask.

Lewis reached over and poked a finger into Art's belly getting a giggle, "You are what we call a little. We love and protect our littles. Once you guys decide what you want to do, you, my little friend will become our little brother, just like your brother will be our brother."

"Good, sometimes my big brother is mean to me." He said with a giggle.

Mikey said, "Sorry little, but I aint buying it. I have the feeling by the way I saw him protecting you, that he is an awesome big brother."

"I was just kidding, he is the bestest big brother there is."

Mikey in a serious tone again, "There are going to be two things that the other kids may ask you about. Don't be offended, they don't mean anything by it."

"What two things?"

"The first is that you have body hair, not much but you do have some. The Crossman believe that only men have body hair. You will notice that none of the other kids or women have any. When you decide to be a Crossman, you will lose what little hair you have. The second thing is your dicks."

Both me and Art looked down at our dicks. Art asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Lewis said, "You guys are not circumcised. Every Crossman male is. It will be impossible to keep clean in a cage."

"Wait... What are you talking about? What cage?"

They pointed over to an older boy who was naked and hairless. He must have been like sixteen. However, the thing that caught my eye was this tube on his dick. "Every boy, when he turns twelve has to be caged."

I looked at Mikey, "But you're twelve, and you don't have one."

I just turned twelve last week. My caging party is Wednesday, Roger was just talking about it."

I was shocked, "And you are just going to let it happen?"

Now Mikey looked surprised, "Of course I am. I have already picked out my PCU and am really excited about it."

I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, my head was spinning with all of this new information. I guess what I was struggling with the most is that all the kids accepted it and thought I was weird for not understanding it. The guys got up and started heading to the pool, so Art and I just followed. I rounded the corner to find a group of girls coming in from the pool. I quickly covered myself, which got giggles from the girls.

Another boy from the group I met yesterday named Ned said, "They are not laughing at your body, they are laughing because you covered yourself. Since none of the kids wear clothes, no one cares what you look like. Also, since no one wears clothes, there is not really any reason to have boys or girls locker rooms, they are just locker rooms."

A little boy Arts age said, "Except over the holidays when the Regulars come."

Art got all excited, "Rob, this is my new friend Ben. Ben, this is my old brother Rob." Art giggled.

"Nice to meet you Ben."

Ben just looked at me, "You're not a man, why you got hair?"

Before I could answer, Art grabbed Ben and headed through the showers where Ben told Art, "You have to rinse off before you can go into the pool." They did and headed out the door.

I started to head into the shower myself when I noticed Lewis turn and go through a door. "Hey Mike, Lewis went in that door, what's in there?"

"Oh, that is a service room."

"What's a service room?"

"Through that door is the only place on the ranch where a kid can service a man that is not in a house."

"Wait... You mean that men are having sex with kids in there?"

Mike shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yeah."

"But if sex between kids and men is ok, then why is it only allowed in that room or a house? It seems like there would be sex happening all over."

"Well, sometimes there are Regulars that show up on the ranch that can deal with naked people, but not sex, so it is restricted."

"So, I have two questions. First, what are Regulars. Second, can I look into the room?"

"First, Regulars are anyone who is not a Crossman. You and your brother are still Regulars. Second, no."

I was confused, "No what?"

"No, you can't look in that room. As long as you are wearing that red wristband, you are a Regular, and not allowed to be around any sex. Now, let's get showered and head into the pool."

We headed to the pool where I found out that Mikey was right. After about twenty minutes and trying to hide from girls that could not have cared less about me, I relaxed and even forgot I was naked. We started playing with the littles, as Mikey called them, and having a great time. We all threw the littles into the water and listened to them giggle. I was watching Art laughing and having the time of his life. I felt the tears forming in my eyes, so I dove in and swam to the other side of the pool.

Mikey came up to me, and even with all the water on my face he could tell that I was crying. "Rob, what's wrong, did you hurt yourself?"

I could hear the worry in his voice, "No, I am ok, can you just leave me alone for a bit please?"

Mikey swam away, only to return a few minutes later with an older boy who looked like he was fifteen. He had light brown hair, and amazing green eyes. He also had a mouth full of braces. I was never going to wear those, I thought to myself. "Rob, I know you asked me to leave you alone, but something is wrong. This is my big brother Alex. He always helps me when something is wrong."

Alex said, "Hi Rob, I am Alex, and I am Mikey's big brother at school. I know you don't know me, but can you tell me what is wrong? Did someone say something to you?"

I looked at this guy that I have never met, that is only a few years older than me, and just let lose. I wrapped him in a hug and cried on his shoulder. When I finally pulled myself back together, "I am sorry for being such a baby. I will leave, so you guys can go back to having fun."

Alex blocked my way, "Rob, neither one of us think that you are a baby. As for us going back to having fun, neither of us can do that if you are not having fun with us. Please tell us what is wrong."

I looked at Mikey and he looked like he was about to cry, "I told you Rob, you are now my brother, and if you are hurting, so am I."

I could not believe what I was hearing. Both of these guys saw me crying like a baby, but instead of making fun of me they are worried about me, and really care about my feelings. I looked back over to see Art still getting thrown into the water, climb out, and do it all again. I took a deep breath and pointed to Art, "It's him."

Alex and Mikey looked over at Art, then back at me. Alex said, "I don't get it, are you worried about him? No one will hurt him, I promise."

"It's not that at all. Over that last year, my brother and I had to sit there and watch our dad go from a big strong man who loved us and carried us in his arms, dwindle away to nothing and finally die."

"I am so sorry to hear that, I didn't know. I get how sad you must be, but what happened with Art, that made you cry?" Asked Mikey.

"He is laughing, I mean really laughing. I can't remember the last time I saw him like that."

I am not sure whether he felt all of us looking at him but looked up and saw me. I think he could tell I was upset. He started running around to my side of the pool, even with people telling him not to run. As soon as he got near me, he took a running jump into the water. He swam to me and climbed into my arms, "Rob, what's wrong, are these guys being mean to you and making you cry?"

If looks could kill, Alex and Mikey would be toast. "No Art, they are being very nice to me."

"Then why are you crying?" He asked as he put his head on my shoulder and hugged me tight.

"These are happy tears Arturo."

He pulled his head back, so he could look in my face. I smiled at him, and he smiled back, "What are you happy about?"

"You."

He gave me a confused look, "Why me?"

"As I watched you playing and having fun, I realized that I have the coolest little brother any guy could ask for. I am so sorry I have been such a jerk to you."

He wrapped me in a hug, "I love you Rob. You are a really great brother too."

Just then someone blew a whistle, "Alright everyone, clear the Rec Center. Time to go home for family time."

I looked at Mikey, and he said, "One thing you will learn about the Crossman, is that we are all about family."

We showered and I grabbed what I brought and headed out. Art looked up at me, "Aren't you going to get dressed?"

"I feel like I should, but I am going to have to get used to it I guess."

We held hands as we walked to our new home.

 

Authors Note

Hey Everyone,

I received many e-mails from you, letting me know that you were not happy with the last chapter. With that in mind, I wanted to explain what when wrong with it. Basically, I screwed up the timeline. I knew that I wanted Brian to meet Drew and Roger, but it was not until I started that last chapter that I realized I had pushed the timeline to far, and any trip had to be done in such a way that I could get Brian back to school on time. When I decided on the RV, I realized I had cut the trip too close to the start of school. I also wanted Brian to go on the camping trip with Timmy, Owen, and Timmy's family.

What I decided to do was to get them to California as quickly as I could, meet and have time with the family, and still do a little site seeing on the way home. I am sorry for the poorly written chapter and will do better in the future.

Now, let's talk about the way this chapter has gone. I wanted Drew and Roger to have kids, but I was not sure how they would have gone about getting them. I actually didn't know how I was going to do it, until Brian and the Walters pulled into Drews driveway. I am not sure why they are of Mexican decent, other than I wanted to show the Crossman as a diverse community.

As for their back story, I never intended it to take the full chapter. The issue was that as I wrote their story, in my mind, I came up with more questions about how they came to be. Every time I answered a question, another one popped into my head. As you have noticed, I did not bring them back into the bedroom with Brian at the end of this chapter, because I am not satisfied with their story yet, I think there is more to come.

I like this story line, so I think I will keep is alive for a bit longer, I hope you agree. I know there was no sex in this chapter, but we will watch the boys become Crossman, so you know there will be sex coming.

Drop me a line and let me know what you think of this story line, and any questions you want answered.
