The guys were having a comfortable moment with each other. Nick and Mikael were sitting close to one another, with Nick had his one arm crossed Mikael's shoulder to hold him close, and Mikael had his one hand on Nick's tight and was rubbing it gently. They looked so comfortable leaning against each other bodies, embracing each other warmly. They knew that they do not have to hide the mutual feelings for one another from their fathers anymore. Everything has been already out in the open, and it was time for them to embrace the situation maturely. Their only concern was in regard to their fathers. They were anxiously waiting for them to tell exactly what's really been going on between the two of them. They did sort of know it, but they would rather have wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth. As the night progresses, there were still no inclinations from the fathers wanting to say anything. Once in a while, Mikael and Nick would be nudging each other. They took a glanced at their fathers who seemed to be comfortably talking to each other while sipping their cup of coffee. They were itching for answers, but it did not come at all. They secretly were gesturing at each other to start a conversation with the father about it. However, not one of them dares to voice it out. They had kept there gazed at the both of them, and it somehow had made both fathers felt uncomfortable being stared at. The father had, in fact, known what was on their son's mind. They themselves were weighing the implication of their son's reaction if they knew what was practically going on between them. However, they had decided before coming there to reveal about their impending relationship to their sons to know and acknowledged. While they were talking with each other, they noticed that the boys had been giving them the eyes. However, they were glad to see that the boys were now being comfortable with each other. It was a relieved to know that there will be no more major drama from the two of them for a while. They looked joyful, seems happy and that was what they were hoping for. As they do love the boys so much, and they would do anything to keep them safe. "Father, we thought you and Mr. Hayden have something to tell us?" It was Nick who talked first to his father. "Yes, we did boys, and as promised, we will tell you eventually." Hayden was giving Cornelly the eyes, signaling to him that now was the moment of truth for the boys to know about them. The boys immediately straighten up and seated properly facing the fathers. They were still having their body attached to one another. Cornelly looked deeply into Hayden's eyes before he turned to facing the boys who were gawking at them both. He wanted to chuckle at the boy's expression, but he did not want to take the seriousness out of the situation. "Boys, just to let you know, as of today onward our life will change. Hope it will be for the better of it and for the future of all four of us." Cornelly halted, and scanned through the faces of the boys. Hayden was smiling sheepishly at Cornelly, and he was looking really cute for a grown-up man. Cornelly loved it so much. "Nick, you and I will be living with Hayden and Mikael from this day forwards as we think it will be a waste of resources for us to get another place to live in." Cornelly continued and yet, the boys still had not responded verbally to him. They were just staring at him to continue. Cornelly tried to be as diplomatic as possible and not trying to sound awkward in the process. He actually felt uncomfortable in that moment and was looking directly at Hayden for help. It was not as easy as he had hoped for. He was afraid the boys will not be acceptable to the relationship he had with Hayden. However, based on the incident that happened the last Sunday morning, where the boys had found out about him sleeping in Hayden's bed instead of the guest room was an easy answer for the boys to guess. Nevertheless, he wanted to as he felt so close to Hayden, and he knew that Hayden was the one that he had been missing in his life. Throughout the days of them courting, both had been the rock for each other, especially Hayden, whom was always there to comfort him whenever he was feeling down. He was the shoulder to cry on, the body to relieve stress, soreness and heartaches and a soul for him to love. Nothing is more important to him right now, than Hayden. "Father, Mr. Hayden, me and Mikael's kind of predicted that our living arrangement will be that way, and I like it very much. I am not ever going to be a step away too far from Mikael anymore. However, what we are asking and wanting to know is about the two of you." Nick was being direct, and he was not afraid of asking tough questions. The fathers were kind of surprised by Nick's directness. "What do you mean Nick." It was Hayden turned to speaking. He knew of the answer, but like Cornelly, he would not want to be too predictable with the boys. Even though he knew Mikael and Nick would be alright with him and Cornelly dating, but he still wanted to take some precautions and not to make their lives more complicated than it had already been. "We just want the truth father, about you and Mr. Cornelly." Mikael stated firmly. "Are both of you been hiding something from us?" Mikael had that disappointment tone in his voice. "We tried not to Mikael. With the situation of you and Nick has been going through at that moment. We thought it would not be an appropriate time for us to say anything." Hayden took a deep breath. "We really love the both of you, and we want what the best for you." "We are trying not to be a rude to the both fathers. However, you are keeping us in the dark about something personal about the two of you. It is already tiring for Nick, and I have to face it again. We did for the whole of last year to find each other." Mikael was teary and sobbing. Nick scoots closer to him and soothed him down with a rub to his back. Mikael became calmer when Nick gave him a kiss to his cheek. Cornelly was worried when Hayden suddenly became silent and was looking down at his fidgeting fingers. He wanted so badly to reciprocate the Nick action to Mikael, but he restrained himself from doing so. Instead, he looked at both boys straight in the eyes. "No offense father, we love both of you so much and for goodness' sake, father, we are your sons. Do not we deserve to know what is going on?" It was Nick's hard toned voice that broke the impending silence in the group. All the other three guys jumped a bit from shocked. "You have every right to know, son. We apologize if you feel unappreciative by our action and manners." Cornelly spoke with a softer tone voice. His eyes were still on Hayden. "We love both of you too as you all are only what we have, and we should never be hurting any of you at all." Hayden lifted his head up, from his fingers to Cornelly. Who was seen looking at him intensely, but with a slight hint of a sweet smile. It was the looked, that he was attracted to and the sweet smiled that Cornelly's had always given him, was still as captivating as the first time he had seen it. "Father, you have taught us to be what we want to be by giving us all the support that we have needed. We have managed to get through our difficult time, and both of you had always been there for the two of us. We want to do the same for you and be supportive of whatever decision that both of you made. We hope that we, the four of us, can be direct in our opinion and thought." Nick took his hand to intertwine with Mikael and using his thumb to rub the top of Mikael's hand gently. Mikael could really get used to be pampered by Nick with all the touches and kisses that Nick had given to him. It was not like this at all in the beginning and now. It felt like everything that had happened before, was a journey that GOD had wanted them to take, before he gave the love of one another. Mikael was proud with what Nick had done and became in the last few days. He was shining brightly with so much love and Mikael embraced it fully. He had thought, with the way Emily furiously berated Nick; he might have crumbled from fear, but he amazingly stood his ground. Would not it be better if they could be like this from the beginning? Nick and Mikael were snapped back into oblivious reality when Cornelly called their name. They both turned to looking at him and waited for him to speak. "Alright boys there will be no more secret from you boys." Cornelly took a big gulped of his saliva and turned to looking at Hayden. He felt so much love and comfort when looking on his face. "Boys, both of you are already an adult, and we think that you should know about me and Hayden." Cornelly seems to get stuck with the word to converse. Hayden saw the predicament Cornelly was and took over. "What Cornelly is trying to say, is that..." Hayden paused for a moment and stared hard at Nick and Mikael, who were attentively glaring back at him. He took a deep breath and reached out his left hand and took hold of Cornelly's right hand. "Nick, Mikael..." It was his turned to stump of words. He tried hard to compose comprehensive words inside his head. However, it went blank. When the boys saw Hayden holding Cornelly hand, they were triumphantly joyful to understand what was going on without the fathers need to say it to them. They were exuberantly happy for their father to find love with each other. However, they kept their emotions intact within themselves for the moment. They were waiting for either Hayden or Cornelly said it to them. "I and Hayden are in a relationship." It was Cornelly that had spoken on behalf of the fathers. "What, are you serious?" Mikael spoke with all the seriousness in his voice. There was a surprised looked on Nick face with the way Mikael reacted and his dejected face. He thought Mikael and him already have an idea about their father being together. However, for now, he was just confused. Did Mikael was over reacting or was he disagreed with what Hayden and Cornelly are? The fathers were also displaying the looked of confusion towards Mikael, and they did not know how to respond to it. All three of them were worrying about Mikael. "Why are all of you looking at me like you have seen a ghost?" A creepy smile crept on Mikael lovely mouth. "I was just messing with all of you." He began to chuckle, and the three of them were still looking disbelieved at Mikael. "Father, Mr. Cornelly, I am truly happy for the both of you to find love with each other. I am surprise though to know my own father do love dicks too." Mikael was hysterical laughing in Nick's arms. There was a sense of relieved on the three guys face and was laughing along with Mikael. Hayden and Cornelly had somehow launched themselves to grab hold over the boy in a tight hug. They then went to tickle them endlessly. Nick and Mikael were trying hard to get away from Hayden and Cornelly. However, they were unsuccessful. When the tickling stopped, the fathers still hold on to the embraced to the boys and was seen kissing their forehead as a gestured of admiration and thankfulness for accepting of them being together. That night, they laid down peacefully on the bed with their respective partners. They were silently praying to the Lord Jesus Christ for all the blessing that they had received and was looking forward to a future full of love for one another. Are they worried? Yes, of course they should be as they cannot predict what the future might hold for them, but they made a promise to be strong for each other with what come may. Nonetheless, for that moment, in time, they were happy to be where they are right now, cuddling tightly in their love one's arms. May GOD bless their love and to prevent them from any other unpredictable circumstances that can ruffle their lives into oblivious misery. How they wished that everything will be alright in the end. Only GOD knows best what was installed for them all. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ I have created a mailing list.
