Philip washed the vegetables; Nathan worked on making a homemade salad dressing while David, who dreamed of becoming a surgeon, cut the vegetables. So far both David and Philip avoided talking to each other except for the polite hellos. "Yum... creamy ranch!" Philip grinned as he stuck a finger into the bowl. "Hey... keep your hands out of there," Nathan said as he pushed Philip back with his butt. "Yeah... you never know where those hands have been," David snickered. "Well you do now!" Philip struck back as he shoved his hands down David's pants. "Keep your hands away from me... and Nathan as well!" David said as he spun around with the knife in his hand. "Hey...calm down. I'm just playing with you." David turned his back to Philip and went back to work on the tomatoes, "You don't belong here." "What do you mean I don't belong?" "This is not your family." "Well technically you're not family as well." "I've lived with Nathan for twelve years I think that makes me a brother." "Well, I've sucked his cock so I guess that makes me his lover," Philip spat back. "Both of you stop it. The two of you are my friends. I want you to like each other." "What reason should I like him?" David asked. "Because he is a good person." "I don't know that Josh. I have to see it on my own." "Ok, but can the two of you not go at each other?" "I can be civil," David said curtly. "So can I. I'm sorry Nate," Philip apologized. "Ok," Nathan tried to smile it off. He went over to Philip and gave him a peck on the check before going over to David and hugging him from behind, kissing the back of his neck. "You doing ok David?" "You know I can't stay angry when you do this." "I know," Nathan replied. "I remembered when I was so angry when Greg got the private room back when we were little kids. That whole night I kept on cussing on how unfair that was until you came to my bed. You hugged me and told me that it was going to be cool sharing a room together. We talked all night and you ended up falling asleep in my bed." "I remember that," Nathan thought fondly. "But that was the only time I slept in your bed. You tended to come to mine after dad put us to bed. I don't remember when we stopped doing that." "I did... it was when I got my first woody. I knew from dad this was supposed to be completely natural but I was embarrassed. That is why I stopped coming over." "Do you want to sleep over?" "What about Philip?" "David... everyone has been telling me how much you have loved me. I need to open my eyes to it." "And Philip?" David asked again. "I like him... a lot. I hope you can like him as well." "Philip is an ok guy Nate, but the person I love is you." "I know... I just don't want either of you to end up like uncle Andrew." David turned around and faced Nathan. "I would never do that to you Nate. I love you too much. If accepting Philip's place in your life is what it takes to keep you happy I can deal with it." "I want you to be happy with it." "Well... that will take time." ******************************************************* Philip, seeing that David and Nate were having a private moment, left to wait for the pizza in the living room. He had heard a little of what they said and he knew he was in trouble. Robert had been right David and Nathan shared a history that gave them a closeness that would take years for him to overcome. Philip didn't want to give up, not by a long shot. He knew that David saw him as an intruder and in a way he was. Philip knew that between them, he needed David's acceptance more then David needed to accept him for if push came to shove Philip feared that David had all the advantages. The only thing Philip felt he had going for him was that he had made the first move. Philip was deep in these thought when the doorbell rang. Thinking it was the pizza guy; Philip went back to the kitchen to pick up the money. There he saw David with his shirt off, his hairy chest exposed with Nathan resting his head against it, as he was rocking side to side in David's arms. Trying not to make a scene Philip picked up the money from the counter and slipped out of the kitchen, hurrying to open the front door. "Hi sorry it took me a while," Philip said before he noticed who was there. Standing there with a pissed off look was Thomas. "Where's David!" He demanded as he pushed his way into the house. "Can I help you?" Philip said as he quickly moved to block Thomas from entering deeper into the house. "Yes... you can take me to David or are you also his boyfriend?" Thomas spat. "David is busy so I think you should leave." "No... I don't think so. I've called him six times in the last hour and I have not gotten a call back." "Well I think that proves that he is busy." "No... it means that he is cheating on me!" Thomas insisted. Philip knew Thomas and what he knew was that Thomas was not his type. First, Thomas was too much in your face, giving advice whether it was wanted or not. He was also a major flirt in a bad way, asking all the jocks if they wanted him to suck their cock or not. When it came to cheating, Philip also knew that Thomas was no saint. It was only bad timing that Thomas was right about David in this case. He could have let Thomas bust in and interrupt David and Nathan. It might even improve his standing with Nate. Philip though did not want to win Nathan playing such a dirty game. "Thomas get out of here before I call the police." "This is not your house," Thomas spat. "Yes... but unlike you I was invited." "I told you I am David's boyfriend." "Well I don't know what you were then but right now I would have to say you are not David's boyfriend." "What! You mean he is cheating on me with you?" "Yes... do you have a problem with that?" Philip played along as he began walking Thomas to the door. "You whore!" "Oh please... look who is calling who a whore!" Philip laughed. He had worked Thomas half way back to the door. "Well at least I don't live my life in the closet." "That is our choice." "Well I think I'll do something about that. When I'm done the whole school will know that both of you are fags and you can tell David that I will make him out as a big bottom!" Thomas said as he stormed out of the house. As luck would have it the pizza guy just arrived to hear Thomas's last comment. "Sorry you had to hear that," Philip blushed as he handed the money over." "Don't worry I've been to this house before. You guys always tip well," The pizza guy smiled. Damn... Philip thought as he was handed back the change. He had hoped to keep some of it. "Here's five dollars." Philip handed back. "Thanks," The pizza guy said as he headed back to his car. "I wonder if he just said that to get more money," Philip asked himself as he took the hot pizzas over to the kitchen. When he got in, he saw David, red face but with his shirt back on and Nathan looking worried. "Sorry if I messed up," Philip apologized "No... I should be thanking you," David said honestly. "I knew that I would be pushed out of the closet by Thomas eventually." "Ok... but why are you thanking me?" "Because now I don't have to tell Thomas I am dumping him. I've been trying to do that for weeks. You also took blame as my lover instead of letting it slip that it is Nate that I am in love with. I'm sorry that he is outing you as well but I want to protect Nate from the stigma as long as I can." "I can handle it David." "Nate, you might be able to handle being outted but the things they will say about us if the school learns that we having feelings for each other will be bad... very bad." "Incest..." "Yeah and saying things like our dads made us have sex together if not saying we were molested by our own folks." "They would never say something like that!" Nathan said a little panicked. "Nathan, they would. I know you can handle being outted as gay. I know you could even take the incest comments but people attacking you dad, calling him a child molester, no Nate, I don't think you could take that." "If anyone were to say that about my dad I would..." "You would do something you would later regret," David finished. "That is why I am going to ask you something Nate, stay in the closet at school, until you graduate that is. People in college tend to be more mature and open." "Ok..." "Philip... it looks like I have to actually date you. Thomas knows I have feelings for Nate but if he thinks I am dating you he will concentrate his attack on the two of us and not Nate." "Ok..." Philip agreed. "Now come our you two. I think I need a hug," David chuckled nervously. All three young men embraced. David at first hugged Nathan a little harder then Philip but as they continued holding each other he added to the pressure. He was now dependent on Philip, not as a fake boyfriend but as another man protecting the person they both loved. ******************************************************** By eight o'clock lunch was well in the past and Greg was hungry again. He could have eaten the ice cream sandwiches but what would he do the next day. Greg was sure that Emily was not coming to his rescue this time. So steeling himself, Greg unlocked his door and made his way downstairs. There were more people in the house again but it seemed more like a social party instead of the sex fest the other night had been. In the dinning room there was a tray loaded down with sandwiches, another one with fruit, and a third with vegetables. Greg picked out a roast beef out of the stack and a few carrot sticks. He hoped to take his stash back up stairs with him when he felt a hand take hold of his shoulder. "Hey Greg... glad you came out of your cave. Can we talk?" A dark haired and very tall guy in his mid-thirties asked. Since the 6'11" man was blocking his way out of the room Greg nodded his head yes. The man took him up to the second floor to an office that had one of those psychiatry couches. "Have a seat." The man said as he waved over to the conference table. "Ok..." Greg said as he put his plate down. "My name is Vale... short for Valen, Irish if you didn't know. "Ok..." Greg said, not sure how he was to respond, "I live and work here. I'm a psychiatrist if you can't tell." Vale chuckled. "Ok..." Greg repeated. "I know all this came as a major shock. How are you handling it?" "Ok..." "Can you be a little more descriptive?" "I hate this place, I hate my dad, and I want to go back home." "Well that doesn't sound "ok" to me. Why do you stay in your room all the time?" "I don't want to see my dad." "This is a large house. I'm sure that if you run into him you would not have to stay in the same room." "I know but... I don't think I like you and everyone else here as well." "Why... you don't know us." "Well I saw what was happening last night. All of you seem to be a bunch of sex pigs." "I would like to apologize for that. We planned to move you here over the weekend when things would be quieter. Your dad was feeling a little too much pressure and acted on an impulse when he brought you here during the party." "It was not a party, it was an orgy." "Yes it did get a little wild but is there something wrong with it." "It is immoral." "Ohhh and why is it immoral?" Vale asked. "Because you are having sex without being in love." "Is there some law saying you can only have sex with someone you love. Can't you have sex for fun?" "Yes... I mean no... I mean that sex without love is wrong." "Why?" "It just is." "I see..." Vale smiled. "Stop it... I see what you are trying to do. You are trying to get me to like what my dad is doing." "No... I am only asking you questions but since you brought it up, what do you feel about your dad having sex with men... men other then your other dad." "I don't like it." "Why?" "Because he is suppose to be with dad." "Josh?" "Yes," Greg said. "But what if they don't love each other any more." "Josh says he still loves my dad." "He did, then why is he not here?" Vale asked. "He loves Robert more," Greg stated. "Yes... and do you think that is wrong." "No." "Why?" Vale asked. "Cause Josh has always loved Robert more." "Then why should your dad stay with him?" "He shouldn't," Greg admitted. "But he didn't have to take me away from my family." "But you are his family. How could he leave without taking you with him." "But I feel that Josh is also my dad and Nathan and David are my brothers." "Yes, but your dad is your real dad. He is the one who is legally responsible for you." "I still hate him," Greg said finding he had nothing else he could say. "You feel angry with him but I don't think you hate him." "Then why does he want me to go to a different school? He only wants to keep me away from my brothers." "He wants you to go to the other school because they have a special program for kids who are..." "Slow learners," Greg finished. "Yes. Your dad wanted you to go there for a long time, but Josh would not let him. He felt you being with your brothers was more important then your education." "He and Nathan helped me in school," Greg defended. "Yes, but they are not professionals. The teachers at your new school have special training. So you see, your dad just wants the best for you." "That is what you want me to think," Greg replied angrily. "No... I just want you to be aware of the facts. What you do with them is up to you. You are a good kid Greg. Don't let other people think otherwise by acting angry at people you don't know." "I hate my dad and I hate you," Greg said under his breath before biting into his sandwich. *************************************************** After they ate up all the pizza, the three boys made their way to the basement exercise room. Philip didn't have any workout clothes with him so he stripped down to his underwear while the others went up to change. When David and Nathan finally joined them they both had a good laugh. "Well if that is what you are working out in then the hell with this," David laughed as he pulled off his t-shirt and running shorts, showing off his white jock. "Come on Nate, join us," Philip grinned. "Hell no!" Nathan laughed. "Come on lets get him!" David smiled at Philip as the two of them cornered Nathan over to the floor mats "Nate we can do this the easy way or the hard way," Philip grinned. "Well there is a problem," Nathan blushed. "We can talk about it after we get those shorts off you," Philip grinned as he dived for Nathan pulling down his short in the process to show that Nathan had nothing beneath them. "Oh my!" David blushed in seeing Nathan revealed this way. "Free balling it," Philip chuckled. "Well I ran out of my normal white jock straps. All I have are my fancy ones and I don't wear them for exercising as I don't want to wear them out." "Well I think we can take care of your embarrassment," David grinned as he pulled off his jock. Philip taking off his boxer briefs soon followed. "There now we are all dressed the same," Philip smiled as he gave Nathan a slap on the ass. Once everyone had a good laugh they got to exercising, working on the different stations of the weight machine that dominated the center of the room. David was by far the strongest of the three. Nathan came next but only by a small amount compared to Philip. When they got to the bench pressing and David spotted for Nathan, things began to get interesting. The sight of Nathan stretch out on the bench, his smooth chest, hard abs, and dick resting on the side of his leg set David's mouth a watering. His cock also responded by plumping up. Nathan for his part could not help but notice the growth between David's legs. This sent blood down to his cock. Philip, now watching both guys as they struggled with keeping to the task at hand began to build plans of his own. Just when Nathan had finished his third rep and the weights were back on the support bar, Philip moved right next to David and took hold of the eight-incher he was now carrying. "What are you doing," David asked but did not move away as Philip continued to pump away. "Exercising your muscle," Philip grinned. "Why don't you go help Nate out?" "Yeah... I think that would be a good idea," David smiled, looking down at Nathan. Lead by Philip's grip on his cock, David moved toward Nathan's own hardon. Nathan sat up laughing at the pair of them that was until David sat right next to him and took hold of his cock. After that, all that came out of Nathan's mouth were moans. Soon all three of them were on the bench, David stroking Nathan, and Philip doing both David and himself. Nathan would kiss David's face, mouth, and shoulder while Philip ran his tongue along David's neck, down his chest. He sucked David's nipples for a little bit but then Philip got off the bench and pushed David's knees apart so he could suck on his balls. With his free hand, Philip moved David's hand off Nathan's cock, freeing David to take hold of Nathan's head with both hands in a hard kiss. David cummed first, all over Philip's face. Once he finished up, David lowered Nathan back on the bench. He then moved his head between Nathan's legs, taking his cock into his mouth, only to just catch Nate load just in time. Not getting a chance to suck Nate off, David joined Philip on the floor, wrapping his mouth around the other guy's dick. David sucked on the head while his hands pulled on Philip's balls until he got his creamy reward. Now sated, David climbed on top of Philip and shared his load with a kiss. Soon to two young men were snuggled together. "Nate, get down here," David demanded when he noticed that the guy he really loves was still on the bench. "But the two of you look so cute together," Nathan laughed. "It would look even cuter if you were laying between us," Philip insisted. As Nathan got off the bench, David rolled off Philip so there was room for Nathan to lie between them. With the other men on their sides, Nathan received kisses from both while Philip played with his nipples and David tugged at Nathan's now soft and exhausted cock. "Philip... you are going to make a great butt buddy," David said. "Thanks," Philip grinned. "But can I ask you something?" "Sure..." "Can I have this night with Nate alone." "Yeah sure..." He had Nathan last night so he guessed that was fair. David and he were also going to have to pretend to be boyfriend so he might as well try to stay on his good side. "We are not going to fuck or anything. I just want to hold him like we used to do," David went further to explain. "It's ok, David. It might take some getting used to but I'm going to have to trust you as you will have to trust me." "Yep that will take some getting used to," David agreed. "What are you going to do?" Nathan asked Philip. "I guess I'll watch one of the porno videos a borrowed from Robert and sleep in the den." "Ok... then let me kiss you goodnight," Nathan said right before getting back up. "You going to bed already?" "Well I need to shower, call friends up to see what I missed in school, call Greg to see how he is doing and by that time I think I'll be ready for bed." "Ok then I wish you good night," Philip said before he returned Nathan kiss. David gave Philip a kiss as well before following Nathan's bare ass up the stairs. "Oh well it looks like it will just be me, a porn flick, and my best friend," Philip sighed before putting his clothes back on.
