Thanks for reading and feel free to contact me with your comments at bryson.kyle@yahoo.com =========================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ =========================================================== Jeff and I set-out for our walk. He told me again about the conversation with his father and how he was so scared to tell him, but knew he had to hit it head-on with his dad. "When are you gonna' tell YOUR 'rents?" Jeff asked me. "Honestly, I want to just call them and get it over with, but it's probably not the right time or place with them on vacation on their anniversary, right?" I answered him. "I dunno. You know them better than I do... I've only met 'em a few times and never got a sense of how they'll take it," Jeff replied. Will smiled and took Jeff's hand as they walked. "I'm not really scared because I know they love me no matter what, but..." I breathed out a heavy breath. "I'm nervous. Not going to be an easy conversation." "Just do like I did and don't beat around the bush. They respect that kind of thing," Jeff said, now suddenly the expert on 'coming out to your parents.' I laughed at him. "Look at you! You'll be writing a book next." Jeff grabbed me into a tight bear hug - "Yep, and there will be a couple of chapters with you all over it," he said and kissed me hard. "Ow - fucker, that was hard!" I said grabbing my lip and smacking him on the ass. "But, you're so fuckin' hot," I said. He smiled. We walked at least 2 miles away from the main road and approached the gate to Mr. Miller's property abutting Mike's property. "How 'bout we go fishing here tomorrow?" I asked. "Mike has a key to the gate so we can get in and there's a nice lake back there with some good fish." "That sounds good," Jeff started, but his cell phone started ringing. "It's my house," he said answering it. "Hello. Yes, ma'am - I'm hanging with Will. Yes, ma'am, I'm gonna' spend the night again. Tomorrow lunch?" He mouthed 'lunch' to me and shrugged his shoulders. "That's fine," I whispered. Jeff went back to the phone. "Ok, yes, ma'am - we'll be there for lunch tomorrow. Ok, Mom. Thank you. I will. I love you too. Bye." "So, I guess you're meeting my parents tomorrow," Jeff said after he hung up, a big smile on his face. "Fuck, I haven't even told my parents yet," I answered him. ==== It was almost 6:30 when Jeff and I got back to Mike's house from our walk. Jeff headed out to the patio while I got bottles of water from the fridge. "They aren't out there," Jeff said, coming back to the kitchen. "I'm sure they're in Mike's room," I said. "Let's get a shower," I added, smiling and lifting my eyebrows. "Let's go," Jeff said, bounding up the stairs like he had limitless energy. Once in my room, Jeff was out of his clothes in a flash, and when I entered carrying the water he got onto his knees to take my shorts off, kissing my abs while he was down there. My cock immediately started getting hard and he grabbed it, wrapping his mouth around the head and swirling his tongue on my piss-slit. "Ohfuck," I moaned leaning up against the door, dropping the bottles of water. "Ohmygod... that feels so..." I didn't have any more words. "You taste so good," he said, licking around my cock and balls. I knew we were both sweaty from our walk, and I know there was plenty of sweat down there, but he didn't seem to mind... and as that thought entered my mind, I wanted to smell and taste his sweat too. I lifted Jeff up and into a kiss and in between kisses, I said, "I can't let you have all the fun" and moved toward the bed. We lay on our sides - 69 style - and each had a leg bent over the other's head. 'Mygod, this is awesome,' I thought. Jeff's nuts were so heavy... hanging down from being hot and it was fun to suck on the skin and taste his sweat. I lapped at the sweat between his legs... at all the swirls of moisture in the hair between his asshole and his ballsack. I licked around the base of his cock - just like he was doing to me - and could smell my spit mixed with the male 'scent of Jeff' emanating from his fuck areas. I kissed the insides of his thighs, licking down to his hole - a sweaty aroma and taste that, at first, made me question why I was even doing it, but it got better quickly. I wanted to fuck him and wished I'd gotten the lube to start working on his hole. I lifted my head to look for it just as he handed it to me... looking into my eyes, smiling and nodding. "Yes, fuck me," he said. Jeff continued his licking and sucking, licking up and down the length of my cock, but not working my cock into his mouth fully - and I was glad because I would have cum too quickly. As he continued his tongue assault I began working lube into his tight pink fuck hole with my index finger. I used my tongue, too, licking around his hole... licking his hairy taint and enjoying all the smells and tastes of his manhood. I felt him loosen-up and brought my middle finger to join in the play... rubbing his prostate with my fingers and working to gently stretch his hole to get him ready for me. I finally decided for three fingers and felt a lot of resistance this time. "Just relax and breathe," I said. "Just lay back and relax." Jeff did just as I told him to do... laying his head back onto the bed, spreading his legs a little more and allowing my fingers to penetrate his ass. I remembered a position from the porn that I wanted to try, so I got Jeff to lay back on his side and bent his top leg toward his chest. Now, I still had access to his ass and cock! I got more lube for my dick and his ass, removed my fingers, then pressed my cock against his hole. I'd loosened him up quite a bit and, as soon as I felt him push out a bit, I slipped in. "Ungh," he moaned. "Give it a minute, ok?" Jeff had his eyes closed and was breathing hard into the pillow - his jaw tight and his teeth clenched. I wiped my hand on the sheet and rubbed his back, now moist with small beads of sweat. "Hey," I said. He looked at me and we smiled. "Just relax... and remember to breathe." Jeff started breathing more regularly and I felt his hole give a little more. His face was calm, so I leaned down to kiss his shoulders and neck and I slipped almost all the way in. He arched his back to push further down onto me and I pushed in harder. That's when I was all the way... my pubic hair brushing his ass... my balls resting on his ass cheek. "Ohyeah... fuck," Jeff moaned. "Ohgod, Will, that feels so good." I kept my weight on him, allowing his hole to adjust and accept me before thrusting, but he didn't seem to want to wait and kept squirming and moving his hips underneath me trying to pull me deeper inside. "Damn... you're like my whore tonight, aren't you?" I asked. "Yes - I'm your whore," Jeff said, his eyes boring into mine. "Fuck me, Will... fuck me hard!" That's all I needed to hear and I was off, ramming his ass as hard as I could. Hearing Jeff say my name added fuel to my lust. He grunted, yelled and said 'ouch,' 'oooh,' and 'ohhhh' so many times I stopped counting, and I was burning up with the heat emanating off of him and all the energy I was putting out. I loved this position and pushed his top leg as high into his chest as I could, rubbing down to his balls and stroking his cock. Jeff's precum was flowing heavily and I brought my fingers to my mouth over and over again to taste him. "Ohgod, Will, this feels good," he said. "Yes it does," I agreed. "Your ass is so hot." "Your cock is so hot." I felt my orgasm building and asked Jeff if he was close. "I could be, but I want to ride you," he said. I came out and laid on my back as Jeff straddled me. He grabbed my slimy cock and eased it back up to his hole and sat all the way down on my hips. "Ohfuck, that's deep," he moaned, and I loved seeing him on top of me like this... his muscular torso accented by the sweat and oils on his skin. I let him do most of the work, but held his hips as he kept grinding me... then, I felt his ass contract and it brought me right back to the brink. "I'm cumming," I said. "Me too," he said. "Ohrighthere... ohfuck." And the first rope of cum shot out of his cock and onto my stomach. I watched his cock convulse sending his jizz onto my body just as my orgasm started. "Ungh," was all I could manage, but I yelled that syllable louder and louder over and over. Jeff leaned down and kissed me, pressing his cum between us like last time, and I kept fucking him as he kept up his motions. I stopped thinking and just enjoyed the feeling of this beautiful man around me... my cock enclosed in his body, our souls tied together in passion. We kept moving for a while and my cock stayed hard, but we were both hot, me especially with him over the top of me. He was cutting off all my air circulation and I felt like I needed air in the worst way. We stopped moving and I felt my cock slipping from his ass bringing my ooze with it. I knew it would be messy this time and knew we'd need to figure out cleaning issues soon. As my cock slipped out, Jeff lay next to me. We were both sweaty, exhausted and covered in cum, with me moving into his arms. I had my hand on his chest, gliding my fingers through the sparse hairs along with the sweat and cum while he had his leg draped over mine. "So... what are we now?" Jeff finally asked, relaxed and satisfied. I leaned onto my elbow and looked at him. "What do you mean?" "Are we boyfriends?" I noticed a hint of fear behind that question. "Well, we've been friends a while," I started, "and we know each other pretty well, right?" He nodded. "We like hanging out together, right?" Jeff nodded again and smiled. "And the sex is... oh so good." He nodded and smiled. "So... do you want to be my boyfriend?" I asked with a little grin. "Yes, I do," he said leaning over to kiss me. "Then - YES," I said. "What?" "'Yes' to your question - 'are we boyfriends?' Yes we are!" I said feeling very happy and fulfilled. We both laughed. "Will, I need to tell you something," Jeff said looking intently into my eyes. "I've liked you for a long, long time. I didn't know you if were gay or not, but my goal this summer was to get with you - no matter what." I laughed at that and he continued, "I didn't really have a plan, but when you asked me to spend the night I started thinking it would happen. You and I have talked and hung-out, but you've never asked me to spend the night before and I've dropped all kinds of hints over the years we've known each other." "You have? Like what hints?" I asked, still rubbing his chest, enjoying his nipples under my fingers. "I don't remember all of them... but - oh, yeah - well, one time, I brought you a towel in the locker room right after you got out of the shower." "You did?" I asked. I didn't remember that. Jeff laughed. "Yeah. There was no one else in there at the time. I was in a towel, too and was so nervous and excited that I was almost hard. I knew for sure you saw me looking at your ass and your cock. Actually, I was HOPING you saw me looking... and I knew my cock was bulging and would give me away." "That's funny. I missed it," I said. "I got some kind of signal from you - yeah - otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to stay the night. What other hints did you drop? And, by the way, if you've been dropping hints for a while then you need to step it up, dude, cuz your hints are way too subtle." I was teasing him now. "It doesn't really matter because you finally caught me," Jeff said, again kissing me, but this time with more passion. "You hungry?" he asked breaking our brief make-out session. "Yeah - let's go grab something," I said. "Should we clean off first?" "Yeah, but let's make it quick. I'm starved." We showered quickly, threw on some shorts and headed down to the kitchen. Mike and Alex grilled enough steaks for an army, but Jeff and I split one with a potato and some salad. As we were sitting down Mike and Alex came inside. "Hey guys," Mike said. "How's it hangin?" "Mine's hangin' happy," Jeff answered smiling, then, turning to me, "How about yours?" "Oh yeah, mine's hangin' VERY happy," I said. Mike and Alex both smiled. "You guys have plans tomorrow?" Mike asked. "Well, I'd like to work out tomorrow morning," Jeff said. "That cool with you?" he asked me. "Yeah - I want to work out too," I said. Jeff continued. "And my parents want to have us over for lunch tomorrow and we talked about going fishing at..." he looked at me. "At 'Miller Lake,'" I said. "But if we work out in the morning the fishing will have to wait until after lunch." Looking at Mike and Alex, I asked, "Why? Did you need us for something?" "Whoa - wait... meeting the parents, Will? Wow, that's huge. And - no, I didn't need anything. Alex and I are gonna' spend the day together and I was just making sure you weren't going to be bored," Mike said. "Oh we won't be bored, I'm sure," I said laughing. Jeff laughed with me. "Well, we're heading to bed," Alex said. "It's been a long day." "We'll probably watch a movie or something, then head to bed ourselves," I replied. "Make sure you take notes meeting Jeff's parents tomorrow," Mike said looking at me. "I want to hear all about it." And with that, they went to Mike's room. Jeff and I watched a movie then went to bed. We weren't tired, but we wanted to lay together and talk. Unfortunately, we had to change the cum-stained, messy sheets first! With that finished, we lay in each other's arms and talked about the future and college. Jeff was going to USF in the fall on a partial football scholarship, but he would be in ROTC, as well. I'd applied to USF, but hadn't heard if I was accepted yet. I'd gotten a few small scholarships - one an essay contest and the other from my dad's Rotary club - but my parents had also done the prepaid college fund, so I was good on that front. Either way, we'd both enter school with 32 credit hours because of the dual enrollment courses we'd taken our Junior and Senior years of high school. "USF is my first pick," I said. "My parents have a condo in Tampa not far from the school and that's where I'll live." "I have to live on campus at first," Jeff said. "It's part of my scholarship requirements and part of being on the team. I think a lot of the football guys room together in the same dorms... but I'd love to stay with you." He kissed me on the forehead. "How are we going to make this work?" I asked. Jeff shrugged. "I don't know. I didn't think this would happen, so I never thought that far ahead. We'll just take it day-by-day and see how it goes, ok?" "Yeah." I reached over and turned the light off and we lay there in the dark... talking, snuggling, nuzzling each other, feeling each other's skin and body and hair - both getting hard - but ready to just BE together without having sex this time. He rolled onto his side - away from me - and asked me to spoon him, so I did... my big hunk in my arms, my hard cock pressed right up against his ass cheeks... and we drifted off to sleep with Jeff wrapped in my arms. ==== When I woke, the sun was up, but it wasn't late - almost 8:00. Jeff was already out of bed, no doubt downstairs talking. I pissed and brushed my teeth then went downstairs, the smell of food drawing me to the kitchen. "Hey," Jeff said, coming to give me a kiss. "Hey," I answered, kissing him back. "So, I'm doing steak and eggs," Alex said. "You guys want to eat first or work-out first? You're still working out, right?" Jeff looked at me. "I'm hungry, but we'll be eating again in a few hours at my house... and I DO really want to work out," he said. "Well, let's just eat a little, cuz I'm hungry, too," I said. I ate part of a piece of steak and one egg while Jeff put away half a steak and three eggs. Damn, that man can eat. We changed into some work-out shorts and headed to Mike's gym... free weights, mostly, with pull-up bars, a rower, a bike and some dumbells. Jeff taught me an exercise routine they learned in football camp... four exercises - shoulder presses, squats, bent rows and bench press. The weight was supposed to be 60% of your max with declining reps - 10, 8, 6, 4, then 2. By the 2nd set I was sweating hard and was really glad I hadn't overeaten. When we finished we were both breathing hard and heavy, dripping with sweat head to toe. You know you've had a workout when your legs are sweating and mine were. "Fuck... that feels good," I said. We had to share weights on a couple of exercises, so Jeff went lighter for me... proving he was a keeper. By 10, we were in the shower together getting ready to head to Jeff's parents' house. I started getting nervous and he could tell. "So, look," Jeff said, "just be yourself, ok? You DO NOT have to work to impress my parents - especially my dad. He's really a softie inside, but doesn't come across that way much because of his job, y'know? So, just let them warm-up to you and go from there." "What about your Mom?" I asked. "I mean, she was thinking there's something wrong with you because you told them you're gay." "I don't know if that's what she meant, but who cares? I am who I am... can't change it and can't fight it, so they'll have to deal with it." Jeff was rinsing his body a final time, facing me to talk, and I watched the water cascade down his pecs and abs before shooting from his dick like a stream of piss. I wanted to go down on him, but knew there was time for that later. I knew Jeff was the oldest of four kids with two younger brothers and a younger sister. "How are the other kids going to take it?" I asked. "Y'know, I've thought about that and want to ask my dad about it when we get there, but you know Jerek from school. He's almost 17, so he can certainly understand it. Jet is 14, so... I don't know about that yet, and Jemma is 11, so I probably won't even discuss it with her." "I've been meaning to ask you... what's up with the 'J' names?" I asked. "Well, my dad is 'Jefferson' and my mom is 'Elise,' so they decided to go with 'J' as the first letter and 'E' as the second letter for all of us," Jeff answered. "That's pretty cool," I said, turning the water off, handing him a towel and starting to dry off, all the while watching his heavy dick and balls swing back and forth. "Yeah, it is," Jeff said, "but we get a lot of questions. It really drives Jerek and Jet crazy, but Jemma thinks it's fun." ==== It was a 25 minute drive to his parents' - mostly because Mike lives so far out of town. His mom said lunch was at Noon, but we were early so I'd have some time to spend with them... plus, Jeff wanted to talk to his dad about what to tell his siblings, if anything. In all the years I'd known him, I'd never been to Jeff's house. When I took him home he had me park at the end of the block, so he could walk to his house from down the street. Looking back I guess it was because we'd just watched the gay porn together. I was very impressed with the house as we pulled into the driveway. Beautiful two-story brick with 4 large columns out front and a huge white double door entrance. My heart was pounding in my ears and my palms were sweating as we walked up the steps. "Are you ok?" he asked before he opened the door. "Yeah. Just nervous," I said with a weak smile. Jeff leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on my lips. "Me too, but look at it this way - nothing bad can happen here. They're my family and they're already being supportive. Besides, THEY wanted to meet YOU, so it's all good." Completing that sentence, Jeff opened the door and I followed him inside. To the left was the dining room, to the right was a sitting room and directly in front of us was an opening to the rear of the house with curving staircases on each side leading to the second story. 'Damn... and I thought MY house was nice,' I thought. "Mom, I'm home," Jeff said, leading the way through the entry. "In the kitchen," we heard her say. We walked in just as she finished washing her hands. Wow... what a beautiful woman. She reminded me of my mom... very young looking with her blonde hair pulled off her face. She came around the bar and gave Jeff a hug and kiss on the cheek, then extended her hand to me. "I'm Elise," she said smiling like she was really happy to see us. "I'm Will," I replied. "Nice to meet you." "You as well," she said returning to the kitchen. "Please, have a seat at the bar. Do you boys want something to drink?" she asked. "Is dad in his study?" Jeff asked. "Yes," Elise said, tending to something on the stove. "Will, do you care if I go talk to him for a minute?" Jeff asked me. "No - that's fine. Go ahead," I said and sat on a bar stool. Jeff walked off to talk with his father. "You have a beautiful house, Mrs. Harken," I said. She turned and came to the island in the middle of the kitchen. "Please, call me Elise," she said. "Now, did you want something to drink? Water? Soda? Juice?" she asked. "Water would be great, thank you," I answered. "We worked-out hard this morning and I can't seem to get enough water since," I added. "So, you and Jeff know each other from school, right?" she asked. "Yes. We had some dual enrollment classes together over the last couple of years and have gotten to know each other better that way, but we've known each other longer than that," I told her. "And you just graduated, too?" she asked. "Yes, ma'am," I said, drinking the full glass of water she just handed me. "Oh - wait... you're Bill and Linda Farrell's son, right?" "Yes, ma'am... that's me." "How are your parents doing, Will? I didn't see Linda at bridge the other night." "They're actually on an Alaskan cruise for their 20th anniversary," I answered. "They won't be back for almost three more weeks." I drained the water glass and she took it to refill it. "I guess you are thirsty," she said with a quick laugh. "Oh - that's right, a cruise. Linda told me that, but I forgot. And you have a sister, too - Margot, right?" "Yes, ma'am. Are you that good with names, or..." "I actually know Linda very well. She never mentioned that you are gay, though," she said. Well... there it is. That didn't take long. Now what do I say? "Actually, I haven't had a chance to tell my parents yet," I said. Now, going to drink the water, I noticed my hand was shaking as I raised the glass up to my lips. Elise noticed my shaking hand and approached me from the other side of the bar. "Will, don't be bothered by this, ok? I'm sure Jeff told you that I was very shocked when Jefferson called me into his office, but I've had a little time to process it and I believe my son knows what he's doing and wouldn't have told us if this were just a phase. And, from what I know about you through your mom, he made a fine choice... a very fine choice. And there is no judgement here," she continued. "You need to be true to yourself and just let everyone else meet you where YOU are." She touched my face with her palm and made me feel like one of her kids. She finished and smiled at me... and I felt very emotional. As I smiled back at her I noticed movement from the corner of my eye and turned to see Jeff standing in the doorway smiling at us. "Thank you, mom," he said, hugging her tightly and kissing her cheek. "I heard the whole thing and it means a lot to hear you say that." She pulled back from him and started straightening his shirt, picking imaginary lint from the shoulders. "Jeffery, I love you very much and I respect you and trust you. You're a smart young man," she said looking into his eyes and I could see tears in the corners, "and I will always be proud of you." Jeff hugged her again. "Thank you," he said as he smiled at me. And Elise turned back to me. "And your parents will be just as understanding, Will. You'll see." Elise hurried back to finish with lunch and within minutes, we were seated at the dining room table. Jefferson and Elise at the ends, Jeff and I on one side of the table and the other three children on the other side. Elise made pot roast with the most delicious gravy I'd ever eaten, mashed potatoes and several other kinds of vegetables. It was fun to have a meal with a larger family... to see how they communicated at the table, passing the potatoes, asking for the salt... that type of thing. I could tell Jet was the feisty one and probably gave Jeff's parents plenty of grief. Jemma was quiet... mulling over having a guest across from her for Sunday lunch. Jerek seemed to be the most skeptical. He kept watching me and Jeff, obviously looking for signs of what was REALLY going on and I nudged Jeff under the table a couple of times to draw his attention to it. Jeff just smiled and rubbed my leg. We talked about college - Jeff's choice of college and mine - and I told Jefferson and Elise that I was leaning toward a law degree, though I wasn't firm on it. Jeff and his dad were very relaxed, so I assumed their talk in his study went well. When we were finished with everything, including some awesome fruit torts for dessert, his dad asked us to come into his office. "Will," he started as he closed the door, "Jeff has been very open with me about how he..." [ahem - clearing his throat] "feels about you - and I was distrusting at first, I'll be honest with you. But you seem like a fine young man, and I know Bill and Linda, so I know you come from a great family, so..." he paused... and didn't seem to know what to say next. "My dad at a loss for words?!" Jeff said, teasing his dad. Jefferson smiled. "Yeah, I guess I am." We all laughed and I breathed a sigh of relief. "Look - I'm here for you boys, both of you. If you ever need anything I'm always a phone call away." We both nodded and I felt better. "Now then... Jeff, I haven't said anything to your brothers or sister. Do you want to tell them individually or should we have a quick family meeting?" Jeff looked at me. "What do you think?" I shrugged. "A family meeting might be better because you can tell everyone at the same time," I said. "Plus, your brothers would see that you have your parents' support in this." Jeff looked back at his father. "Can we have a family meeting, sir?" His dad smiled. "Of course. You want to do that now? Will, are you ok being here for this? This does involve you, afterall," he said looking at me. "We're not in any hurry to leave, are we, Will?" Jeff asked me. "I'm fine staying here for a while and being here for this," I said, then looked at Jeff. "I'm sure your brothers will have questions for you privately, though." So Jefferson went into the kitchen and Jeff and I followed behind. He told Elise what we were planning and asked for her opinion. She seemed right in-line with my thoughts, including what I said about the fact that Jerek and Jet would want more info from Jeff in person. Jefferson then called the whole family into the living room and gave the kids a quick run-down. He told them that he and Elise supported Jeff no matter what and this in no way changed who Jeff was or changed what he could accomplish in life. He also introduced me as Jeff's boyfriend... something I hadn't heard said out loud and it made me smile - and almost made me start laughing. Jemma seemed fine with it, maybe too young to process it much. Jet just seemed antsy - ready to jump out of his skin... like the seat was too hot to sit on or something, but Jerek was the one I was worried about. He and I had played on the same after-school team together in high school, and even though I didn't know him very well I was worried about how he would respond. When the meeting was officially over - with Jefferson saying, "Family dismissed," in military fashion - Jefferson, Elise and Jemma scattered, leaving me and Jeff alone with Jerek and Jet. The two siblings sat on the couch opposite from the one where Jeff and I sat. Jerek was well on his way to being as big as Jeff while Jet is a smaller framed-guy. Still, Jet looked to be as fit as any middle school kid I'd ever seen. Both had short, military haircuts like Jeff's. "So," Jerek said looking right at Jeff, "gay, huh?" Jet stopped fidgeting immediately and looked right at us... suddenly on high alert and focused on what might happen. "Yep," Jeff responded. "Look, I know it's a shock, but I can't help who I am, y'know? And it doesn't mean I'm a different person." His body looked relaxed, and his voice didn't lose it's husky-ness, but there was a bit of pleading in his voice. Jet spoke up. "I don't care, Jeff. It doesn't bother me a bit. I haven't told anyone else this, but Terry came-out to me last week." Jet looked at me then. "Terry has been my best friend since first grade." Then he looked back at Jeff. "He told me how hard it's been on him and I'm sorry if it's been hard for you, too... but no one would ever think you're gay, and I know no one has ever picked on you." "No, nothing like that," Jeff said. "But..." he shrugged and didn't complete his sentence. The whole time, Jerek sat there with his arms folded. "Jerek? Anything?" Jeff asked. Jerek stood up quickly and came to our couch moving faster than anyone else I'd ever seen. In my mind, I saw the punch coming and leaned back to avoid it while reaching to push Jeff out of the way. As I started to stand up to defend myself, I realized that Jerek wasn't angry... instead, he lunged at Jeff and hugged him around the neck... then, lifted him into a standing hug, pressing his body tight against Jeff's. It was touching. Jerek then let Jeff go and looked at me. I smiled at him and he came over and gave me a big hug, too... again, pressing his body tight against mine. I put my arm around his back and it felt a lot like hugging Jeff. "Will," Jerek said motioning to Jeff, "this is my big bro right here and I love him a lot. You need to be good to him, ya' got it?" He was smiling, but very serious. "I got it," I said, smiling back at him. "I know you're tough and all, but I will kick your ass if you hurt him," Jerek said, punching me in the arm. "It's all good," I said and grabbed Jeff's hand, our fingers locking together. Jeff leaned down and kissed me - full on the lips - right in front of his brothers. "Ooo - that's gross," Jet said. "Damn - really?" And smacked Jeff on the head. "You little fucker," Jeff whispered to Jet smiling. He grabbed him into a headlock and gave him a knuckle rub to the head. All three brothers were laughing and I let out a sigh of relief. When they were done roughhousing we went out to the backyard and threw the football around for a while - all of us talking and getting along. Things seemed just as normal as any four guys hanging out together. Jeff went inside for a few minutes and I kept tossing the ball with Jerek and Jet until I saw Jeff at the back door giving me a hand motion to join him in the house. No one else was in the kitchen. "So... how are we going to do this?" Jeff asked taking my hand. "I mean... we've spent two nights together, but maybe I should sleep at home some or..." He looked down while saying this, then looked at me. "You getting tired of me already?" I asked, with a smirk. "Hell no... just wondering, is all." "I don't know," I answered. "I'm a guest in Mike's house, but he doesn't seem to mind having you there. Yeah, he's got Alex, but we haven't been in their way." I mulled it over a bit in my head. "Let's plan on you spending the night again and we'll ask him tonight, ok?" "That sounds good," Jeff said, and kissed me, opening his mouth and putting his tongue into my mouth. We were quickly interrupted, though. [ahem] Jefferson came into the kitchen and approached us, obviously having just seen us kiss. "This really isn't as odd as I thought it would be," Jefferson said. "And I don't know why it never hit me, Jeff... but you never really seemed happy with any of the girls you brought home. Now, look at you - you look different." He was smiling - at both of us - and it felt really good to be THIS accepted. "Dad, I'm not going to change. My goal is still to be a Ranger and this..." - he waved his hand between me and him - "I don't know where it's going or where it will end up, but Will wants me to succeed and won't take me off track." He went back to his default with his father... back to the military. Jefferson grabbed Jeff's shoulder. "Jeff, you do what makes you happy, ok? Serving our Country has been great for our family... you know that, but I've always made time for your mother and you kids. The people you love come first, ok? Without someone next to you, life would be very lonely." "I'll agree with that," Elisa said entering the kitchen. "And you boys make me proud," she said. "You're doing something most adults can't do... you're being true to who you are and you're dealing with it head-on. Plus, you look so damn cute together!" "Elise!" Jefferson mockingly scolded. "Well, they do," she said, a huge smile on her face. "Yeah, I guess," Jefferson admitted with a smirk, rubbing the top of his head. "Ok - so, Will, it's been a pleasure, son. You are obviously a fine young man and I'm looking forward to seeing more of you." With that, Jefferson hugged me... then Elise hugged me... then, they left the kitchen. "It's like a love-fest here today," Jeff said laughing. "It sure is," I agreed kissing him. We tossed the football with Jeff's brothers for about two more hours - taking water breaks in between and using that time to talk about life and stuff. Our fishing trip was obviously put off for another time, but I was fine with that. Elise yelled out that she was getting dinner ready, so we should wash-up. She made pot roast sandwiches with lunch left overs, except she made them like a french dip sandwich with a side of tater tots. I was in food heaven. I told her she'd have to get this recipe to my mom and she thanked me for the compliment. By 6:30 we were ready to head back to Mike's, but Jeff needed a few things from his room, so I followed him upstairs. As soon as we entered his bedroom he closed the door, pushed me back onto his king-sized bed and lay his full weight on top of me, kissing me. "Oh no you don't," I said. "We are NOT fucking in your parent's house." "Awww..." he fake pouted. "But I've never had a boy in my bed," he added, trying his best puppy-dog face on me. "Hell no... no way. I'm on your bed and that's as far as it's going in here," I said. I wasn't mean with him, but I was firm in that NOTHING was going to happen here right now. "I know... but I want you so bad right now," he whispered into my ear. "Well, get me back to Mike's and maybe I'll put out,'" I said, smirking. "Maybe?" he asked looking at me. "Well, you did treat me to a nice lunch and dinner, so it's the least I can do," I remarked, batting my eyes. "Woo-hoo... I'm gettin' lucky tonight!" he exclaimed. We headed downstairs with his extra clothes in a bag and told everyone goodbye. Then, driving away, we held hands for the ride back to Mike's, smiling the whole way. ======================================================== This series is absolutely a labor of love for me, with so much of myself in these characters. Sometime soon, I will be creating a spin-off with Will and Jeff going to college, so please be expecting it. I'll provide a link or name at the bottom of the chapters when that happens. Thank you to everyone who writes. I DO return all emails, so please feel free to drop me a note.
