The Henderson Academy for the Arts was a private high school, so he wasn't surprised to see row after row of expensive cars. He hoped no one would mind that he had parked his beater among them. Jared had called Christopher every night after their date. He had been amazed at how easy it was to talk to a guy with whom he had only spent a few hours. He smiled when he thought about Christopher's halting and somewhat embarrassed invitation of a day earlier. "I know this is, like, short notice, and feel free to say you can't make it," Christopher had rambled near the end of their last phone call. "But there is a small recital at school tomorrow night, and I'm, like, playing, and I thought maybe..." "Of course I want to come," Jared had blurted out. Both guys had laughed. "Well, show up around 6:45, and I'll have Brandon meet you at the door," Christopher had said enthusiastically. "I'll be there. Do I have to dress up or anything?" "Nah, this is just for our school." As Jared neared the entrance, he saw Brandon staring out the door. "Hey," Jared said with a grin as he walked in. "Hi," Brandon smiled, "Christopher is really excited you could come," he said, nodding toward some stairs. "I wouldn't have missed it for anything." Jared followed Brandon up a few steps and then down a long hall toward an auditorium. He noticed a small crowd of people in line, all better dressed than him. "Parents," he thought to himself. "So, are you Christopher's new boyfriend?" Brandon giggled as they waited to be seated. Jared blushed, took a quick look around to see if anyone was listening and then answered. "I don't think so," he said quietly. `How did you get that idea?" "Well, you seem to be the only thing he wants to talk about lately." "I am?" Jared blushed again. "Yeah," Brandon whispered as they followed a student usher toward their seats. "Actually, he's never had a boyfriend before. I was just guessing," he grinned. Jared rolled his eyes. "Just like Matty," he thought to himself, "I wonder if little brothers are all the same?" "There's Mom," Brandon said, and motioned to the usher. Mrs. Chapin stood and extended her hand as Brandon and Jared were shown to seats next to her. "I'm Karen Chapin," she said warmly as Jared shook her hand, "You must be Jared." "Yes, Ma'am," Jared said softly as they sat down. "I'm so glad you could join us." The lights dimmed. The recital started with a string quartet, then a trio of woodwinds accompanied by piano. The stage was cleared, the lighting changed, and the grand piano was used for a series of solo performances. The first, a girl of about fourteen played a piece, and then a boy looking as if he was perhaps seventeen, and then one more girl. Jared scanned the program and found Christopher was at the end. The string quartet played again, this time with a violin solo. Finally, it was time for Christopher. The only light on stage was a spotlight focused on the piano. Christopher walked on stage, and from the audience applause it was clear he was last on the program for a reason. This was apparently to be the highlight of the concert. Christopher was wearing black slacks and a long sleeve black shirt, which he had left open at the collar. His blond hair had been styled and seemed to shine under the lights. "He's gorgeous," Jared thought as Christopher seated himself at the piano, paused, and then began to play. Jared sat in stunned silence as the room was filled with music. Christopher deserved the title prodigy, even if he didn't use it or like it. Jared stared at Christopher's hands as they flew over the keys. He played with passion, strength, and when the music called for it, softness, and even a touch of eroticism. Jared had never heard anything so beautiful. "Oh my God," Jared thought to himself as he was pulled into Christopher's world of music, "I never imagined..." Brandon put a finger under Jared's jaw and lightly pushed his mouth closed. They exchanged looks, Brandon smirked, and Jared just gave him a silly grin. When Christopher finished, the applause was deafening. A number of people got to their feet, the whole house joining them. "A standing ovation," Jared marveled. Christopher blushed, bowed and grinned from ear to ear. The applause continued; the audience wanted more. Christopher sat back down at the piano; the audience took their seats and grew quiet. Christopher paused and then stood. "I've been working on something this week," he said softly to the crowd and then turned to look directly at where Brandon and his mom were seated. "It's called `Dreaming of Me,' and I want to dedicate it to someone special." Christopher stared directly at Jared, their eyes met, and he smiled. The music was slow, haunting, and amazingly tender. It seemed to Jared as if it were a love poem set to music. It wasn't especially long, but the main theme returned again and again, first played with one hand, then the other, until it was played with both, as if it were a union of two spirits. At one point, Jared heard a faint few bars of music from the Navy hymn, the lyrics, `For those in peril on the sea,' brought tears to his eyes as he thought of both their Dads. When the last note ended, it hung in the air. The silence was incredible, and then once again a burst of applause. * * * * As the auditorium cleared, Jared nervously talked with Mrs. Chapin and Brandon. "Looking for someone?" Christopher said softly, sneaking up behind them. Jared turned and smiled. "Yeah," he grinned. Now just inches away from Christopher, he wished he could wrap his arms around him in a hug. "But not here," he thought sadly. "So, how did I do?" Christopher smiled. Jared opened his mouth but couldn't find any words. "That bad?" Christopher teased. "No, that good!" Jared laughed. Brandon and Mrs. Chapin congratulated Christopher on his performance. Jared stood by while they talked about each of the other kids by name, and how they had done. When the conversation wound down, Christopher asked his mom, "Can I get a ride with Jared?" "Of course, if it's all right with him." "They're boyfriend's, Mom," Brandon giggled. "Of course it's all right." Jared winced at the words; he thought for sure Mrs. Chapin would be surprised to learn there might be more to their friendship. Instead, she was incredibly calm. "Brandon! You little fart!" Christopher said angrily, shooting his brother a menacing look. Mrs. Chapin laughed softly. "Please excuse them," she said to Jared, "they're like this all the time." Jared grinned with relief. "My brother Matty is the same age as Brandon. I'm used to it." Mrs. Chapin smiled. "Well, have him home by midnight." "Yes, Ma'am," Jared nodded. * * * * Starting the truck, Jared asked, "Straight home?" Christopher smiled. "Is that what you want?" Jared laughed, "No!" "Turn left at the corner, I have a place in mind. Christopher directed Jared to a small park about a half mile from the school. They found a secluded spot for the truck and pulled in. As soon as the engine was turned off Christopher scooted closer and Jared wrapped his arms around him. "You were incredible tonight," Jared said softly, "I had no idea you were that good." Christopher shrugged, "Like I said before, I love music." "Thanks for inviting me." Christopher turned and looked at Jared. "I think this is another one of those kissable moments," he giggled. Jared grinned and leaned closer. They softly touched lips. The kiss slowly grew bolder, and then more passionate. The boys snuggled and kissed for a few minutes. Jared reached between Christopher's legs. Christopher put his hand on Jared's and let him rub his crotch for just a moment. "We better not," he said sadly, "these are my performance clothes, and I don't want to mess them up." Jared smiled. "No mess, I promise!" Christopher reluctantly took his hand off Jared's. Jared went to work undoing his belt, top button, and then his zipper. Christopher raised his ass off the seat a few inches as Jared pulled his pants down to his knees. Christopher was wearing a tiny pair of black bikini undies. "These are pretty sexy," Jared laughed, fingering Christopher's cock through the fabric. "I thought you might like them," Christopher giggled. "You wore them just for me?" "I figured you'd try to get into my pants sometime tonight!" Jared grinned, looked up at Christopher, and then ever so slowly pulled the scanty little briefs down. "My brother thinks I'm a pretty good cocksucker." Christopher blinked. "You know, brothers play games sometimes." Jared offered in way of explanation. Christopher blushed, "Well, not me and my brother," he said softly. Then he smiled, "Get busy, I'll let you know if you're any good!" he laughed. Jared smiled and bent down over Christopher's crotch. The boy's dick was already hard, stood about seven inches, and was nicely proportioned. It was slightly shorter than Jared's and a little thinner. It was cut, and had the cutest flared head Jared had seen. Jared licked the knob, causing Christopher to moan softly. Jared could taste a drop of pre cum on the tip; he savored its flavor. He softly stroked Christopher's shaft as he wrapped his lips around him and sucked. "Oh yeah," Christopher whispered as he arched his back, lifted his hips and shoved his dick further into Jared's mouth. "Suck it," he said softly as he ran his fingers through Jared's hair. Jared's mouth bobbed up and down over his lap. "That feels really good," he whimpered when Jared began to play with his nuts. It seemed Christopher's cock was growing by the minute. The throbbing thickness of the shaft pushed deep into Jared's throat. He had to take a quick breath to keep from passing out. The intensity grew as they went at it. Perhaps ten minutes went by with Jared sucking, licking, and stroking Christopher's dick in every way he could to give him pleasure. Christopher hunched up into Jared's mouth, and then grunted, "Gonna cum." Jared positioned himself so he could take whatever Christopher delivered. A moment later four long shots of jizz filled his mouth. He swallowed after the first one, held steady for the next two, swallowed again, and sucked the last one, swirling his tongue around and around. "Oh fuck," Christopher moaned, pushing his cock into his friend's mouth in short jabs. "Suck it," he begged, holding Jared's head firmly against his crotch. Jared took all that Christopher had, and then slowly pulled back off. "Damn, that was nice," Christopher whispered, his eyes closed, his hand slowly stroking his now shrinking dick. "I can't believe you swallowed it!" It was quiet for a minute. "I guess your brother's right," Christopher giggled, looking at Jared. "You are a pretty good cocksucker!" They both laughed. Christopher looked tenderly at Jared. "Want me to do you now?" Jared was about to answer when he heard a growling sound. "Was that you?" he laughed. "Yeah, sorry," Christopher said with a blush, "I never eat before a performance. I get too nervous." Christopher reached for his tummy as it growled again. "I can wait a while," Jared smiled. "We better feed you. You're tiny enough as it is." "Tiny? I prefer to think of myself as compact." Christopher laughed. "You sure you don't want me to do you?" "No, I'm good. You can help me out later. Let's get some food." * * * * The guys found a waffle restaurant not far from the park and were glad to see that although there were a few people here and there, the booths toward the back were empty, so it wasn't difficult to find one out of the way. They placed their order and chatted for a couple of minutes. "I have to go to the bathroom," Christopher said, excusing himself. "Yeah, that's a good idea," Jared agreed and went with him. The guys smiled as they took places next to one another at the urinals. "Do you really have to go?" Christopher asked, pulling down his zipper and fishing out his dick. "Yeah," Jared smiled, doing the same. "See?" he laughed, as he stood back just a little and showed a stream of pee. Christopher took a quick look, "I like your dick," he smiled, "can't wait to get it in my mouth." he laughed. "Let me see yours again," Jared teased. Christopher stepped back and held his out for Jared's inspection. Jared was about to reach over and touch it, when the bathroom door opened. Both boys quickly finished, washed their hands, and returned to the table. "So, you wrote that last piece of music for me?" Jared asked as they were finishing their meal. "Yeah," Christopher replied softly. "I loved it." "Thanks." "Will you play it again for me sometime when we're alone?" Christopher blushed and nodded. "You are so cute," Jared whispered. He leaned over and gave Christopher a quick kiss. "Shit, somebody will see!" "I don't care," Jared laughed as they grinned at one another. After their meal, they walked across the parking lot. Jared couldn't resist reaching for Christopher's hand. They were nearly at the truck when a voice called from behind them. "Fag assholes!" Jared turned and saw a guy, maybe nineteen, standing a few feet away. "Ignore him," Christopher whispered. "That's what's wrong with this country, too damn many niggers and queers." Jared's anger rose. He stopped. "No!" Christopher said under his breath. "So, is the little one the bitch then?" the older kid said. That was it, Jared wasn't going to stand there and listen to anyone talk about Christopher like that. He turned fully around. "Leave us alone, or you're going to get hurt." The older kid laughed. "Bring it on!" He started for Jared. Jared pushed Christopher gently aside to make more room for himself. "Jared!" Christopher called out in fear. The fight lasted exactly fifteen seconds. The older kid took a swing; Jared stepped to his right, brought his fist around full force to a spot just behind the kid's ear, and dropped him in his tracks. The kid tried to focus and stagger to his feet, but Jared gave him another punch to the jaw. The kid, now flat on his back, looked up as Jared stared into his eyes. "Who's the bitch now?" Jared whispered as the kid moaned. Christopher pulled Jared's arm. "Take me home." Jared nodded and they got in the truck. Neither boy said a word for ten blocks. "I'm sorry," Jared finally said when he'd calmed down. "I should have just walked away." He looked at Christopher, whose eyes were still filled with fear. "You're okay. It's over," Jared said softly, reaching for Christopher's hand. Christopher pulled away and curled up against the door. "Just take me home," he finally whispered. The moment they arrived at Christopher's house, he was out the door. Jared called to him, but he ran inside without even saying goodnight. "Shit!" Jared cursed, slamming his hand onto the steering wheel, "This can't be happening." * * * * Jared sat outside Christopher's house for a while, his emotions racing. "I can't leave it like this," he finally said to himself and headed for the door. Mrs. Chapin answered. "I was wondering if I could speak with Christopher. He was pretty upset and I'm really worried about him." "He's in his room." Mrs. Chapin showed Jared to the living room and got him settled. "I'll let him know you're here." A few minutes later, Mrs. Chapin returned, a concerned look on her face. "I'm sorry, he doesn't want to see you right now." "Please, I just have to talk to him!" Mrs. Chapin sat down. "Maybe I could help if you told me what happened. Christopher was too upset to say much." Jared explained everything, even using a few of the words the bully had used. Mrs. Chapin didn't say a word, but her face said she was deeply concerned. "Let me tell you a little bit about Christopher," She began, giving Jared a gentle smile. "Since the time he was little his father and I have known he was different. He was exceptionally curious, gentle, and loved pretty things. One Christmas his father had bought a number of cars, trucks, and other boy toys. Christopher looked at them for a few minutes and then started playing with the bows and ribbons. He stuck the bows on the wall, moved them around a few times and then came to me and pointed, `look, Momma, pretty.' That's when we knew how special he was. Three years ago his father came home from work early and found Christopher and another boy in his room. They were lying on the bed kissing. It was just harmless play. But my husband flew into a rage. He yelled at the boys, dragged the neighbor boy to the door, sent him home and then he spanked Christopher." Jared closed his eyes; he could practically see how frightened Christopher must have been. "It took us weeks to sort it all out. But now we all accept that Christopher is gay, and we love him just the same." "So he watched me punch a guy. He must think I'm like his Dad." Mrs. Chapin nodded her head, "maybe, or perhaps he was just frightened. He's very sensitive." "Can I talk to him? Explain?" "Not now, maybe tomorrow. I'll talk to him again." "I'm so sorry," Jared whispered, tears coming to his eyes. "I never would have done anything like that if I thought it would hurt him. In fact I was trying to protect him." "I know," Mrs. Chapin said gently and walked over and gave Jared a hug. "Why don't you go home now, and I'll talk to Christopher for a while." Jared nodded, and left. * * * * Like last time, Matty was awake and waiting for Jared in their room. "How was your date?" Matty giggled, a huge smile on his face. Jared turned to him, Matty could see something was wrong, terribly wrong. "What happened?" he said quickly; instantly afraid. "Is dad all right?" "Dad's fine," Jared said walking over to the bed. "It's Christopher." Matty was confused. "Some guy was hassling us after we left a restaurant, I got into a fight, and Christopher is really, really upset." "You talked to him, right? I mean, that's what dad always says, talk out your problems?" "I tried, but he won't see me." Jared unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it over his desk chair, kicked off his shoes, and then stripped down to his boxers. He gave Matty a sad look. "Night, squirt." Matty wanted to ask more questions, but sensed his brother wasn't up to it. "Goodnight," he said, sad that Jared's date had gone so wrong. Matty heard Jared tossing and turning for a long time. Eventually Jared got up and went to his desk, picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. Jared didn't say anything for a long time. "Christopher? It's me, Jared. We need to talk." Matty assumed Jared was talking to Christopher's voicemail. "I'm so, so sorry, man. I would never want to hurt you. Please call me, huh?" Jared snapped the phone closed and crawled back into bed. Matty wanted to know everything about what had happened. He decided he'd call Brandon in the morning to find out what he knew. But for now, he wasn't about to leave his brother alone. Matty got out of his bunk and crawled in beside Jared. "Not now, Matty." Jared was near to tears. Matty hugged Jared close. "You're my brother," he whispered. Jared broke down in soft sobs. He turned and they hugged one another as never before. They fell asleep that way. * * * * It was near three in the morning when Matty heard Jared's phone ring. It was under the pillow, still in Jared's hand. "Christopher?" Jared asked. Matty could hear a voice on the other end. "I'm so, so sorry," Jared sobbed. Matty hugged his brother tighter, offering him what comfort he could. Matty wasn't quite sure how long the call lasted, he must have dozed off because the next thing he knew Jared had rolled over and was hugging him. "He said its all okay!" Jared cried, burying his head in Matty's chest; huge sobs of relief wracking him. Matty softly ran his fingers through Jared's hair. He didn't know what to say, so he just hugged his brother close. * * * * A special thanks to Andrew for several fantastic suggestions for this chapter as well as his assistance as my editor.
