Chapter 17: Heading Straight

Dean got back home by 7.

"I am back mom!" he cried as he put away his shoes near the rack.

"I told you it would rain right?, And see it did..." "Did you get wet on the way?"

"Not much, we found shelter as soon as it began"

"You were lucky this time... okay, go and get clean, dinner will be ready soon"

"Is Jake back?"

"Oh yes!, Jake is having a sleepover at Corey's, he just phoned me to ask if it was fine"

"What..?" Dean thought, "Is that so? But he didn't even pack his clothes!"

" 'Don't worry about that' is what he said "

"It is fine if they are good I guess," Dean said as he went back to his room. After coming back to his room he thought that his mom never allowed him such freedom when he was Jake's age, "If she would have, perhaps I could..." he thought, "But if I already had someone, I wouldn't have met Keith... perhaps this is a destiny for me, perhaps for Keith too..., and I am happy to be with him... and tomorrow we are going to spend a whole day together, just us both!"

As he was thinking and knitting plans as to what he might do with Keith his thoughts suddenly drifted to Andy. "But were Andy's actions really what I thought they were? Okay.. First, he nearly kissed me on my ears..., oh that was definitely a kiss alright!, but am I getting it all wrong? Then why did he grab my waist so tightly?, for support?... But later in his house, he didn't show any signs..., and that hug we did at last was a friendly one... It might all be just my imagination after all" "I guess for now I should just act normally... I don't want to appear too excited and gay for this... and that too when he is in the same school as me"

*---*----*----*----*

"I guess that wraps things up!" Stephanie said as Keith completed improving the final panel of the last page.

"Whew! I am tired" Keith said before gulping down the beer kept by the side of his table in the mug.

"That was good work Keith!... I will submit it to the chief editor tomorrow.... and yes, if the sales do increase, which I think is likely; you will be properly rewarded" she said and winked.

"That would be sweet!"

Stephanie picked up the purse and packed things up before binding the comic strips with paper pins and then putting everything in a folder. "I would leave now Keith, it is already quite late today"

"I guess"

Stephanie reached the doorway and said goodbye. "And remember to invite me to Peter's wedding, I would be more than happy to come," she said as she got into her car.

"Sure Steph, you are always welcome"

Keith came inside and looked at the clock. "Peter must be back anytime now," he thought and was instantly reminded that tonight they were gonna have it. "But am I really ready for Peter? Amn't I deceiving Dean? I guess this is one last time I allow Peter to have his way... after that I will... confess I have someone and that I can't continue doing things with him. I don't know how he would take that though" he pondered.

Peter wasn't back till 8 when Keith decided to call him. "Peter? Where are you?"

"Oh it's Keith.. umm... look Keith,.. Peter won't be home tonight, he is at my place for the night" In the background, he could hear Peter groaning and saying something like "..leave that fag alone" Keith wasn't sure if he heard it correct but a slight giggle from Liz made him uneasy beyond measure.

"Liz?... okay Great! You guys have fun, I will call you later ok?, Bye!" and Keith hung up the phone furious in rage.

"How dare he... fuck!!..." Keith was boiling in rage, never for the past few months did he feel so enraged and that too on Peter. He felt humiliated by use of the derogatory tone and that too by Peter made him livid beyond anything. After calming down a bit he looked back and thought that Peter has never used this term for him, but it wasn't like he had never used it for someone else. "That is it!!... tomorrow I am going out with Dean.. to hell go Peter... and that bitchy slut" "And Peter, I will make sure you regret this.. for sure!!" Keith was not only angry but was also deep down hurt by such behavior especially by Peter. He went to take a shower and fell asleep albeit he was a bit restless the entire night.

*----*----*----*----*

It was the next day. After his usual routine Dean was down for breakfast. His mom did ask him a few things about the neighbor's at the breakfast and then told him that if he was going to their place then he should probably invite them for lunch tomorrow. Dean happily obliged. After that he was off. Keith, on the other hand, was busy preparing for today's schedule. After he thought that he was done and that he could improve no more, the preparations were finally done. "This is going to surprise Dean for sure... but I have everything planned out.. what remains is just that one thing.. and of course Dean himself" Keith thought as he excitedly closed his laptop and cleaned the place before having shower and breakfast. He hadn't forgotten about the previous night, but he wanted to enjoy today to the fullest. It was 9 when the doorbell rang and Keith got up to open the door. He first peeked through the peephole and saw Dean swaying his head sideways. He decided to not open the door and gauge Dean's reaction. After a couple of minutes, he could see the unusual frown forming on Dean's face through the peephole when he rung back the doorbell. Keith was trying to stifle a laugh but a loud gasp escaped his mouth. "Keith? Is that you? Why don't you open the door?" Keith hurriedly opened not wanting his lover and him to stay separated any longer.

"Did you have fun with your little play?"

"I sure did, it was the first time I saw you frowning"

Dean got closer to Keith and hugged him, "I don't know what kind of sorcery you do to me, but I had missed you the entire day" Dean said softly. Keith pulled him tighter gently kissing his ears, "It is not any sorcery... Just me loving you" he said almost in a whisper. "Let us move on to our bed"

"'Our'"?

"Yes, our, and we don't have much time to waste around, I have got plans for the day"

"What kind?" Dean said in a tone which was a mix of excitement and nervousness.

"It won't be a surprise if I were to give away everything"

"I will be looking forward to that.... and this" Dean said as he stroked Keith's crotch which was already bulging out.

It wasn't too late when the pair moved to their lovemaking session. Dean undressed both himself and Keith as they laid down on the bed together. "I love you Dean... and I really mean that," Keith said as Dean blushed a little. Keith pulled him in a slow sensuous kiss as they both closed their eyes and let themselves drown in each other. Dean opened his eyes to see Keith. "How peaceful he looks with his eyes closed..." he thought before he closed his eyes again. After 10 minutes of slow kissing, they both were rock hard and they both knew what the other wanted. Without wasting much time Dean moved over and leaned forward to take Keith's cock in his mouth. Keith stopped him. "Today we will just 69 each other... it will be faster," he said. They quickly got into position and began to suck each other's waiting cocks as they both gasped almost simultaneously. Keith fondled Dean's ball sack while sucking him. Dean played with the cockhead for a while before he moved in further lower taking more than half of Keith's cock. "Oh yeah!" Keith encouraged him, "Keep that up!". But encouragement was hardly needed to push Dean further as he slowly sucked before speeding up. It wasn't that long before they both busted and sent their cum in others' mouth. Dean came first but Keith wasn't too behind. Keith sat up and went to Dean's side and kissed him. Dean was surprised to taste his own cum but was too involved in the pleasure that Keith's tongue was giving him that he swallowed it all. "That was hot baby," Keith said. "'baby'..?" Dean cried in astonishment. Keith laughed at this.

"Hey Dean, it is time... let us go!" Keith said as he got up from the bed.

"Where are we going? At least give me a hint so I know what to expect"

"For the hint, why don't you try some of my shorts? I think they will fit you"

"Shorts? Are we going to some amusement park?"

"Sure if you wanna burn yourself" Keith laughed and said. "And I am not giving any more hints!..."

"But I don't think I would fit in any of these" Dean said as he pulled out a couple of shorts.

"Hmmm... try one of these then," Keith said as he pulled some shorts from way back.

"How old are they?" Dean said as he looked at one rugged short.

"They are from when I was in the first year in my college... same size as you," Keith said as he grabbed Dean's butt cheeks.

"This is the only decent one, and size seems okay too," Dean said as he wore it. "And it goes well with my shirt too"

"You have to look for a shirt too... find anything in these..." Keith said as he pulled out a neatly stacked pile of shirts from the back. "And be quick, it is already 10!" he said before leaving.

"Gosh! Where exactly is he taking me? And why do I need to have a shirt too?... So this is what Keith wore back then? I think it is kinda hot to be able to dress up like him" Dean thought as he looked for a shirt that would go well with his shorts. He dressed up in a jiffy and looked at the mirror. "This looks fine I suppose"

"Oh my god! look at you, Dean... It seems I am looking at a younger version of myself" Keith said and laughed, he himself was all dressed up in a nice blue shirt with an orange lemonade in the center and brown shorts. "Are you ready?" Keith asked.

"I guess..."

"Good then, let us go!"

Both of them left the house and Keith double checked everything was switched off and locked properly. "Always the cautious one?" Dean asked as he sat on the bike. "I have been robbed once... can't take risks," Keith said as they both headed off. The sun was a lot milder today, an after-effect of yesterday's rain perhaps. It was a bit cloudy too as the sun would often hide behind them casting a prolonged period of shadow before emerging back. The ride was again surreal in a way and together with sun playing like that created an unusual sense of excitement in the teen. Before long they were in a small residential area. Dean grew anxious as he thought that they might be picking someone or someone picking them. He wasn't ready for a third person. "All that remains is this" Keith thought as he parked outside one of the houses.

"Where are we?" Dean asked.

"Don't worry, just wait and enjoy!" Keith said and winked and then walked away towards the house. Dean waited beside the bike. No one responded to the bell at first. Keith tried many times but no answer. Then he started to make a call. Actually, Keith was at Lizs'. He was here for the car. "Liz? Do you mind coming down? I am here waiting at the door"

"I am sorry Keith.. just wait a minute I will be right there"

Keith waited many minutes actually when she finally opened the door. The bike was parked a bit distant so she couldn't see Dean. "Hi, come in!" she greeted and welcomed Keith inside. "As much as I would like to Liz, I have some important business out of town... you know those exhibitions right?"

"Oh yeah! Do you have one of them today?"

"Yes, and I need the car for that. Can you get Peter to hand the keys? I am sure he wouldn't want me to wake him" Keith said, though by the mention and thought of Peter he had partly spoilt his mood and temper.

"Oh, sure! But please come in!"

"Please make it quick, I am out of time," Keith said as he reluctantly entered. He saw a bra scattered across the couch. Liz immediately spotted it.

"Oops! Sorry" she said grabbing it quickly and hurrying towards the kitchen. "I don't know if it was on purpose that she forgot to put that away," Keith thought. "Not that any of it actually matters though"

She quickly put out some OJ and snacks and went to her bedroom upstairs. Within a minute she returned back and handed the keys.

"That was quick, thanks!" Keith said as he got up and decided to leave. "I am sorry Liz, but I am in a bit of a hurry. Do you have some cola cans?"

"Sure, do you want some for the way?"

"If you can manage to get some"

She went and bought 2 packs of chips together with a few diet dews. Keith felt a bit guilty of calling her a slut the last night.

"Thanks, you are always the best!" he said and hugged her.

"I saw that boy outside... is he your boyfriend?"

Keith was shocked for a moment, but realizing that she might tell Peter about it later he said "Yes, but don't tell Peter about it okay?" knowing full well that she eventually will.

"Have a good time!" she said and gave a short peck on Keith's cheeks.

"Thanks" Keith muttered before taking the car from the garage. A black Cadillac soon appeared before an amazed Dean who was sweating a fair bit standing in the sun.

"Took you long enough!" he cried as Keith slid down his windows.

"Sorry!" Keith said as Dean entered the car which fortunately was cool enough by now, thank the AC. Keith quickly gave Dean some diet dews he had gotten from Liz. "I hope they make it up to you... I knew you would be hot waiting for that long a time"

"I can't stay angry with him for five complete minutes... and yet he.." Dean thought. "Thanks" he muttered.

Keith parked his bike in the garage and then they were off to their final destination.
