Please send E-mails to ZaneG7@Excite.com Anton: There was a mock tri-generational relationship established by late fall. Ty like the middle child played the role of the Father, disciplining Jaden with hardly a hug or kind word in between; he was becoming the bad guy in this artificial family structure. Anton was cast as the benevolent grandfather. He spoiled the boy, and conspired with him while Ty continued to act as if Jaden could not do anything right. He worried more about what would become of the two most important people in his life, than his own health. He watched painfully as he saw how much Ty and Jaden loved each other, and yet Ty built an ever-stronger fortress to protect that forbidden love from escaping. Anton would have laughed if it didn't hurt Ty. His feelings were so obvious. He once did scold Ty telling him not to pick on the boy so unmercifully. I mean who really cared if cereal spilled all over the floor when Jaden was distracted while pouring it, and mud in the house was no big deal, nor was a few things left out of place. Didn't Ty remember, he was once like that? He knew that Ty was so sensitive to everything that Jaden did. If he didn't let go of this extreme behavior he would drive them all crazy. One day in late autumn the three of them went fly fishing, mostly to test some new designs. It was a warm Saturday afternoon. The leaves were burnished copper, and their favorite lake was a royal blue mirroring the clouds, and surrounding mountains. Ty berated the boy for his short and impatient casts. "You're going to scare all the fish away," he mumbled. Anton went over and gently placed his hands on Jaden's rod and helped him cast long and deep. Jaden copied him and after a few more times the line tugged with the panic of a caught fish. When a 4 pound large mouth bass was caught they all celebrated. Even Ty smiled, and congratulated Jaden. "Can we have it for dinner." Jaden pleaded. "Sure I'm getting tired of turkey egg omelets." Admitted Anton "Do you think a fish has an afterlife?" Jaden wondered. "Well a big mouth bass would make a great gay man," Anton teased." "I don't know how you can say that" Ty replied" Just look at those teeth." I would hate to think what he would mistake for a worm." Jaden giggled. "Well I'm sure all fish wish for that big fishing hole in the sky. I don't think he would like to come back to earth as a human." mused Ty. "And so do sportsmen, I know when it's my time to go I may have a hard time coming back if it's a fishing paradise up there" stated Anton "You think my mother is happy now? Do you think she knows that I'm okay here." "I'm sure lamb." Anton tried to comfort him. "You're going to be alright, right Ant, you promise." Jaden pleaded. "Having my mother gone is enough. Of course." As Anton made his silent vow, both Jaden and Ty looked at him with longing. Ty picked up the ice chest and the three of them walked back to the truck silently. Anton had that day etched in his mind, and now it was the deepest of winter and the house had frozen frost that seemed to etch out the words, DO IT NOW. Christmas was here and lights twinkled with their golden glow in the window as well. Michael was having a party at the bookshop, Anton urged the others to go but said he had over-done it all week with all the celebration mayhem. While they were gone he hung velvety green mistletoe on the bedpost, and waited. Tonight was going to be their night. Jaden dashed up the stairs first. "Anton we had so much fun! Look what Michael gave me! He held out a first edition of Little Men. "Well we won't have to worry about how to pay for your college now will we!" "Heck, I keep this." Jaden laughed. He then noticed the mistletoe and leaned over to give Anton a kiss, his delicate lips tasting like mulled cider. "You are one delicious boy Jaden. I love you." "I love you too Ant" "So did you get your Uncle Ant what he wanted for Christmas." "I'm not going to tell!" "Jaden, I really only want one thing from you for Christmas, and I want it very badly." "What is it Ant I already got you a..." "I should never ask this of you, but I have my reasons, I want for you to make love to Ty That's what I want." "I want it too, Ant, but he doesn't want me. I tried did you know that?" "I guessed, listen leave it up to me Okay. Just follow my directions. First of all I want you to take off all of your clothes, quickly and then get under the covers by the bed board." Anton watched him as he slipped out of his sweater, and jeans, he sighed as the tartan flannel boxers slid off, Jaden was perfect, his cute little package so smooth and silky, who could resist him!" Jaden dashed under the covers as Ty came in the room. "Ty come and sit on the bed with us. Didn't you notice something different here...Ty?" " No, I don't think so." "Well there is mistletoe tied to the bed, that means you have to kiss the person under it, as I already did." Ty and Jaden both blushed like holly berries." "It's real mistletoe. Do you see the white berries. I made sure I found some with lots of berries as they represent drops of sperm from the forest God of the pagans. KISS HIM TY...Come-on..." Ty reached over and planted a chaste kiss on Jaden's cheek." "What was that? I have seen you kiss the cat with more passion! In fact like I told Jaden, the only gift I want this year is for the two of you to make love. I want to watch it." Ty called out, "Anton be reasonable." I am Ty. I need it. You two are the continuation of my life. I want to see you both enjoy each other. Ty protested as Jaden slid from under his blanket and went over to Ty. Ty knew that to back away would hurt both of them, and as obvious as it was from the rigid little pole poking up from the groin of this beautiful boy. He too was in the same straits, hard as a rock. Jaden was so close he could see the goosebumps on the boy, well he could warm him. Ty circled his arms around him and pulled him close. The embrace turned into lips and fingers exploring. They forgot that Anton was there watching the wanton scene which quickly grew into something far beyond that. For Anton is was like watching himself in his youth as he first realized who he was, and what he needed. He was mildly aroused by watching the passion taking place beside him, but more than that, as Ty and Jaden acted out their passion he felt joy for them, that they could make each other feel so good. That they were alive, and in the arms of the most powerful agent of life. He knew his next step would be to make sure they had peace with their decision.
