Billy walked into the expensive Board Street Penthouse that he shared with his younger brother Tim. He stopped at the mirror in the entry and set down his keys on the table there. He glanced at himself in the mirror. For 40, he thought to himself, not bad. He was clean shaven with sparkling blues, prehaps they showed his weariness most; his sandy brown hair was well trimmed and cut and the workouts at the gym three times a week with his brother had kept him as fit as any 20 year old. "Is that you?" he heard Tim call from the kitchen. Something was cooking and it sure smelled good. "Who else would it be?" Billy teased and heard the familiar sound of ice cubes being dropped in a tumbler and trickle of Gentleman Jack being added. Tim came out of the kitchen holding the glass. "Hard day?" he asked. Billy wondered if it was something in his voice that clued his brother in or if they really were so close that without saying a word Tim could judge his mood. There was no use lying. Tim would know that immediately. "Yeah," he admitted, "Lost the Martin account." He took the glass that Tim held out to him as he slid into his favorite chair. Tim came and sat next to him. "How much money do we have between us?" he asked. Billy laughed and took a sip from the glass; and passing it to Tim said, "I really don't know." Tim took a sip from the glass and asked, "5 million? 10 million? 20 million? What?" Billy sighed. He knew where this was going. They had been having this conversation for years; everytime Billy got into one of his 'moods'. "Something like that," he admitted. His brother passed the glass back to him and said, "If working makes you feel this way Billy, you know you don't have to do it anymore." Billy knew. He knew also that Tim knew what he would say next. This conversation had become something of a ritual between them. "I know, I know, Tim. I just want to make sure that what Da did never dies." Billy was 12 and Tim was 10 when they learned the word that would change their lives forever. Cancer: and their mother had it. Da was their mother's second husband and the only father that either of the boys really knew. "What's happening?" Tim asked, trying to see over or around his older brother. "Shhhh!" Billy ordered, "I can't hear a thing with you yakking like that!" Billy didn't really need to hear much to know it was bad. Mom was knealing in front of Da who had his head bent with the palms of his hands covering his face: he was crying. Billy guided the door closed, grabbed Tim's hand and led him back to their room. "What's happening Billy", Tim asked again. "Awww, it's nothing," Billy tried to lie. Tim looked up from his bed with tears in his eyes and said, "Everyone thinks I'm sooooo stupid. Well I'm not stupid Billy. I'm not! I know mom's real sick. I just want to know if she's gonna die." He started to cry. Billy went and sat on his younger brothers bed. "Don't cry Timmy," he whispered putting an arm around him, "I don't think you're stupid, honest. I just don't know what's going to happen but no matter what you'll always have me." Tim led his head on his big brother's shoulders. "Billy?" he asked, "Can I sleep with you tonight. I don't want to be alone." Billy hugged him and answered, "Sure." The boys stripped down to their briefs. Niether of them like wearing much clothing to bed; mainly because they had so few clothes for the early years of their life. Their bioloical father had left them and their mother when Billy was 4 and Timmy was 2. Billy remembered the most about him and most of it wasn't good. Mostly he remembered the fights and being afraid. All that changed when his mother met Da as they would all begin to call him. It was 2 year old Timmy that started the trend even before he became officially their stepfather. Both boys, though, loved him from the beginning. Billy could still remember the warm feeling he got in his groin when Da would carry him with his hand firmly supporting his buttocks. Later he would confess that that was the first sign of his growing awareness of his own homosexuality. Billy climbed in bed first and held the sheets up for his brother to join him. Timmy slid into bed with his brother and immediately wrapped his arms around him and put his head on his chest. Billy laid back and hugged his brother and began to gently stroke his back. There was no sexual intent in this; he simply wanted to comfort him but the feel of his brother's near naked body caused his cock to stir for it's nightly visit. Most nights it was like a ritual for Billy to quietly jerk off in bed while thinking of boys he'd seen at school or some stranger he had seen on the street. He did it quietly as not to draw the attention of his younger brother and now he shifted uncomfortablly in his bed trying to prevent Timmy from noticing his hard on. Timmy's hand rested on Billy's stomach and the warmth, and softness, of it was driving Billy crazy. Timmy took a deep breath and Billy again tried to adjust himself to curtail the sensations growing in his groin. But the movement caused Timmy's hand to slip down to just above the elastic of Billy's briefs. Billy frozed and hoped that Timmy was asleep or won't notice the strain that his cock was placing on the elastic. "Billy?" Timmy said. Oh, God! Billy thought. "Yeah?" he answered. "Are you sad?" Timmy asked. Billy was relieved by the question; it would keep both of their minds off of his cock. "Yeah, a little," he answered honestly. "Me too," said Timmy, "Can I tell you a secret?" "Sure," Billy answered. "When I am sad," Timmy continued, "I play with myself and it makes me feel better." Alarms went off in Billy's mind. He had never considered the possibility that his younger brother knew about masterbation and the thought of it caused Billy's cock to jump wildly. "We could make eachother feel better right now...if you want," Timmy announced and slid his hand onto his brother brief covered cock. "I don't know Timmy," Billy heard himself say but his cock was answering yes, yes as Timmy gently rubbed his fingers over the material restraining Billy's cock. "Please?" whispered Timmy, "I won't tell." and he slid his hand inside of Billy's briefs and took his cock into his palm. There was no denying that it felt good and that he didn't want it to stop. "Are you sure, Timmy," he asked being choked by the pleasure of Timmy softly stoking him beneath the sheets. "Yes," Timmy answered with the voice of an angel, "Please." Billy didn't answer this time. He simply lifted his hips and removed his underware to give Timmy easier access to his cock. He also helped Timmy remove his briefs and gazed at how beautiful his brother's hard cock looked. Both boys laid on bed and facing eachother and began stroking the other's cock. "God Timmy," Billy said, "That feel's really good." Billy could feel the minor jerks his cock was making and knew that his cock was leaking precum. He concentrated on massaging his brother's cock but that was as exciting as the feeling of Timmy's hand tugging on his member. "mmmmmmm," Timmy moaned. Billy looked at his brother's face. So beautiful he thought to himself and before he could think it Timmy looked him in the eyes and said, "I love you, Billy." Billy was lost in the moment now and released his brother's cock and rolled over on top of him. He pressed his cock against his brother's and kissed him. Timmy moaned and put his arms around him and a slow dance began between them. Their mouth locked together and their tongues explored eachothers mouths; their hips ground their cocks against one another and their hands slid over eachothers bodies. "I love you, too," Billy managed at last and Timmy pushed him over onto his back and slid down to welcome his brother's cock into his mouth. "Oh god, Timmy," Billy exclaimed as Timmy busied himself softly licking and sucking his older brother's cock. "God Timmy," he repeated. The warmth, softness and excitement was overtaking him. His cock was twitching for release and it was coming. He pumped his hips into Timmy's sweet, welcoming mouth and moaned aloud. Timmy made love to his brother's cock, kissing it, sucking it, licking it until it became a ridgit monument to ecstasy and errupted into his mouth. Billy was still panting when he felt his brother's hand on his chest. "You alright?" Timmy asked. All right? All right!? Billy thought. "Where did you learn to do that?" Billy asked. Timmy just shrugged his shoulders and answered, "Guess it just come natural." Billy kissed him and could taste his own cum mingled with the flavors of his brother. He gently positioned him on his back and went down to return the favor he'd just received. He licked the head of Timmy's cock playing with it with the tip of his tongue. Timmy's body shuddered. He licked from the base of his brother's cock to the tip and back down again; finishing by taking his ball into his mouth. "mmmmmm," Timmy moaned, "That feels really good." He licked the tight skin between Timmy's balls and ass which had Timmy thrash his head from left to right on the bed all the while whispering, "Oh Billy, please don't stop. Please!" Billy lifted Timmy's legs and began tonguing around his ass. He licked Timmy's crack with long, slow and tender passes. Timmy was moaning continuously now and the sounds coming from him excited Billy all the more. He took his hands and spread Timmy's ass cheeks and licked the rosey ring he found there. "Oh Billy, Oh Billy," was all that Timmy could manage before another wave of pleasure would wash across his body. Billy pressed his tongue at the entrance of Timmy's asshole and felt it give. Soon he was sliding his tongue in and out of Timmy's rose hole. "I can't take it," Timmy announced, "Please suck me Billy. Please." Billy let Timmy's legs drop and captured Timmy's cock with his mouth. Timmy began pumping wildly. Billy's head bobbed up and down with his brother's thrust. Finally, Timmy thrusted upward and Billy suck in the pre-adolescent dew of Timmy's orgasm. They laid together in the darkness holding eachother. "I feel better now," Timmy said breaking the silence, "Thank you, Billy." Billy didn't answer right away. His mind was on something that Timmy had said earlier. "Timmy?" he finally said, "What did you mean when you said that it just comes natural?" He could feel Timmy repositioning himself to turn towards him. "I don't know," Timmy started, "I mean, I think about it alot." Billy's heart was pounding in his chest, "What? What do you mean? What do you think about?" Timmy turned and layed on his back. Billy could hear him exhale. "Oh, nothing," he said, "Just forget about it." But Billy couldn't forget about it and the silence in the room was a deafening roar. Finally Billy said, "Timmy?" "Yeah," Timmy responded. "I want to tell you something but please don't be mad, ok?" Timmy again turned toward his older brother. "Ok," he said. Billy took a deep breath and still the words were a whisper when they slipped past his lips, "I'm gay." and he began to cry. Timmy reached out and hugged his older brother. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Billy kept repeating between sobs, "I'm sorry." Timmy held him in his arms and tried to kiss the tears away, "It's ok, Billy," he said, "Please don't cry. Please don't cry." "What am I going to do?" Billy asked, "What am I going to do?" He sobbed and Timmy held him. "Billy?" Timmy said at last, "I listen to you when you play with your thing at night." Billy stopped crying and sat up in the bed. "What!?" he said. "Don't be mad," Timmy replied, "I can't wait sometimes. You wait so long. Then I play with mine and pretend I am with you like we were tonight." There was a long silence. "I'm gay too," he said softly. Billy was out of bed first. "Wake up," he order, "I smell cinnamon rolls!" They both quickly got dressed and bounded to the kitchen. "Well," their mother chimed, "Look Da, the dead have arisen!" Da laughed and said, "Good morning boys." "Good morning," both boys said at once and took turns hugging their mother and Da. They all sat down to breakfast together. Billy's mind was racing; trying to put together everything that was going on in their lives: he was gay; his brother was gay; they had had sex just last night and their mother was dying. "What's the matter with you," his mother asked and Da stopped teasing and tickling Timmy so that they could all hear. "Oh, nothing I just have a lot on my mind," Billy said. "He's thinking about sex!" Timmy burst out with a laugh. Billy looked at him as if he could kill him. "Oh," said his mother, "Da, I think it's time to have that talk with him." And Timmy laughed till he cried. "The talk" as it is called was "ok" as far as Timmy and Billy were concerned. "But he left out the good parts," Timmy told his brother later, "You know, the part about how two guys can love eachother too." Billy wasn't mad at him anymore. In fact, he now thought it was really smart of him to tell his parents that he was thinking about sex. "It'll keep them out of our hair about it now," Timmy said, "Now that we have had 'the talk,' and he howl with laughter and rolled around on the floor. And Billy had to laugh with him. There were good days and there were bad days. This wasn't a good day. Billy and Timmy listened in horror as their mother threw up over and over again into a thrash can. She was crying, "God make it stop!" Billy pull Timmy away from the door and back into their room. Tears were running down Timmy's face as he sat silently on his bed. "It's going to be all right," Billy tried to cheer him up but the icy glare that Timmy shot at him let him know now was not the time for fantasy. "Ok, I'm sorry," Billy said, "I keep forgetting you're a big boy now." Timmy glared at him again, "Is that supposed to be fun?" he asked. Billy shrugged his shoulders and walked over and sat on the bed with his younger brother. He put his arm around him and kissed his head. Timmy leaned his head on Billy's shoulder. "I'm just trying to cheer you up," Billy said. Timmy looked at him; kissed him on the lips and said, "This cheers me up." and they curled up together and fell asleep. Billy was awakened in the middle of the night by the warmth of his brother's penis pressing against his side. Timmy was sleeping peacefully with his arm around him. Billy adjusted himself so he was facing Timmy. There hard cocks touched and Timmy moaned and opened his eyes. "Hi," Billy said. "Hi," responded Timmy, "What time is it?" Billy shrugged and said, "Time to make eachother feel better." He moved closer to his brother and kissed him. Timmy rolled over on his back accepting his brother's advances. Billy slid his hands beneath the sheets and came up with his underware and repeated the move to come up with Timmy's. Timmy was moaning now as Billy laid on top of him. "Timmy?" Billy said, "Timmy, can we try something different tonight." "Anything," was Timmy's only reply. Billy hopped out of bed and started searching in his drawer underneath his clothes. He found the jar of vaseline he had hidden there and returned to bed. "You want to fuck me, huh?" Timmy stated. Billy nodded and began applying the lube to his cock. Timmy lifted his ass off the bed so his brother could have better access to his hole. "Shit," he complained as Billy applied the first coat to his ass, "It's cold!" Billy worked the oily sustance over Timmy's crack and slid a finger in his ass. "mmmmmm...." Timmy moaned. He began sliding his finger in and out of his brother's ass. Timmy closed his eyes and lifted his his to meet his brother's finger. Billy then applied the vaseline to two of his fingers and gently slid them into Timmy. He pumped Timmy's ass with his fingers feeling it getting more and more relax as he did. He bent down and began sucking on Timmy's cock. "Oh Gawwwd," Timmy exclaimed, "You keep that up and I'm gonna shoot all in your mouth." Billy gave his brother a few more moments of fingering and suck; and then released Timmy's cock and let his fingers slide out of his ass. "Ready?" Billy asked. "Give it to me big boy," Timmy replied and lifted his knees to his chest. Billy put the head of his cock at Timmy's asshole. He watched his brother's face as it began to slide in. When Timmy grimmaced; he would stop and wait for him to get use to the feel of his cock. Inch by inch he lowered his cock into his brother's ass until he could go no further. "I'm in," he said at last and Timmy took a deep breath and exhaled. He put his arms around his brother's neck and said, "I'm all yours." Billy pulled out slightly, testing the waters, then slid back in; his brother inhaled and exhaled to his rythum. Slowly he bagan to rock back and forth grinding his cock into Timmy's ass. Timmy's eyes were closed but he was moaning to the movements in his brother's dance. Timmy ran his hands up and down his brother's backside: the back of his head; his shoulders; his back and ; his ass. The feel of Timmy's hands on his ass made Billy grind Timmy's ass at a faster pace. Timmy held his ass tight pulling his cock deeper. The warm softness of Timmy's hands passed through Billy's jirating cheeks and into his balls where it melded with the heat of his already red hot member. Timmy's ass clenched onto Billy's cock. Billy looked down at his brother. He was thrashing his head from left to right. His body was in spasm. His cock was jerking and Billy could see the clear substance jumping from his brother's penis. His brother's spasms mixed with his own. His body rocked and jerked. His balls pushed and his cock contracted. He felt the blood rush to his cheeks. He was cumming. There were good days and there were bad days. It had been two years since they had learned of their mom's cancer. There had been spinal taps and kimo; surgery and bone marrow transplants. It had started out a good day. Billy watched his mom start to clear the dinner table. "I'll do that mom," he offered. She wouldn't hear of it of course. She had been bedridden for most of the pass 9 months and it was the first time she felt well enough to get out of bed. She wanted to feel useful again; needed again. Da smiled at the boys; they become even closer over those two years, "Go on," he said, "I'll help mom." She wouldn't hear of it of course and Da was sent to relax in his bedroom and the boys to theirs. It was Billy who found her. Timmy and he had made love that night and fallen to sleep together. He had awaken in the middle of the night and gone to the kitchen for a glass of water. There she was lying in the middle of the kitchen floor; the contents of her bladder pooled beneath her. His wails had awaken the others. Timmy and he wept openly until they saw Da. His mouth was openned wide as if he were screaming but there was no sound. His chest heaved back and forth and his eyes were rolled up into his head. Tears streamed down his face and he dropped to his knees. His face was turning blue. "Da!," Timmy screamed. Da's head ifted to the ceiling and finally the boys heard him take a deep breath. The sound that exited his throat next frighten the boys worst than the body of their dead mother laying in front of them. There was pain in the scream that Da let fly from his lips that day; there was loss, sadness, bitterness and sorrow. Later Tim and Billy would call it 'the cry of loss love' and it broke their hearts. Da didn't sleep much after his beloved wife died. He was on extended leave at work and Billy was extremely worried about him. Timmy barely left Billy's side these days but once Timmy fell asleep Billy would walk up stairs. Night after night he would pull Da from the chair he sat in. "Come on Da," he would say, "It's time for bed." "Already?" Da would say, "Where has the time gone, where has the time gone?" Billy would get Da to bed and slip back to his own before he was missed by Timmy. Timmy and Billy made most of the meals. Sometimes people dropped by to check on them but for the most part it was the boys and Da. After two months, Da mananged to go back to work but when he got home he would only sit in his chair and stare into the kitchen as if his wife was still there. It was after dinner and the kitchen had been cleaned. "We're going to bed now, Da," Timmy said. Da started to cry, "I'm no good to you boys, am I." Billy turned to Timmy and said, "Go on. I'll be down in a while. Go on." Billy knelt down between Da's legs and hugged his waist. "We need you Da," he whispered. Da rubbed his hand through Billy's hair. Billy stood up and repeated the line he had used so much over the last two months, "Come on Da. It's time for bed." Da smiled and without a word got up and went to his room. Billy never could remember why he followed Da up the stairs that night or what he was thinking. May be it was because he had been so use to walking Da to his room that he hadn't noticed the difference. He had stood in the doorway and watched Da undress and get in bed. He watched as he curled up, hugging himself and gently began to cry. Billy didn't remember how long he stood there or when he slipped out of his clothes. He slid into bed with Da that night and Da rolled over and Billy held him. Stroking his back and whispering, "It'll be all right Da, it'll be all right." Billy wasn't sure if Da realized that he was nude or even cared. But they curled up together and Da slept. Timmy wasn't mad when Billy finally showed up in the room they shared. He was concerned. "Is Da alright?" he asked as he put his arms around his weary brother. "I think so," Billy answered. Timmy stroked his brother's back and Billy fell fast asleep. Things changed slow but Da was better at work and for most of the day. At night Billy would "tuck" him in so he could sleep. They got undressed together now and slid in bed and Billy would hold him until he fell asleep. Timmy had accepted the new arrangement and he and Billy made love late at night after Da was asleep or early in the mornings before getting up. But this day was a bit different. "I need you," he was pleading with Billy. "Wait till tonight," Billy insisted. Timmy had stripped right then and there; looking over his shoulder said, "Come on Billy. I'm sooo horny." Billy had relented of course and they had started exploring eachother knowing that Da could be home at any moment. They had heard the door open and Da calling for them. Billy was mad because his hard on never left him through out dinner. Somehow he had to take care of Da as quickly as possible and get back to Timmy; to finish what they started. Timmy volunteered to do the kitchen that night and pushed Billy toward the living room where Da was now sitting. "Hurry," Timmy whispered, "I'll be down stairs waiting." Billy grabbed Da's hand, "Come on Da. It's time for bed." Da rose and started up the stairs. Billy glanced back at the kitchen and saw Timmy hurriedly loading the dishwasher. His cock had descended to a semi hard form by the time he and Da undressed. He kept his back to Da for the first time and slid in between the sheets quickly with his back to him. Da got in bed and curled up with him and sighed deeply. The feel of Da's touch caused Billy's cock to once again spring to life. All he could think was, 'please fall asleep quickly so I can get to Timmy.' But Da couldn't seem to get comfortable so finally Billy turned toward him and began rubbing his shoulders. Da sighed and closed his eyes. Billy rubbed his chest; running his smooth, warm, hands in circles. He layed his head on Da's chest and Da took a long deep breath. Billy reached over to hug him and his elbow brushed Da's cock. Da was hard. Billy mind went into a spasm. First he thought, I'll pretend I didn't notice. But his on cock was excited by the discovery. He felt Da gently rubbing his back; he drew closer to him and his harden cock brushed Da's leg. He looked up and his eyes met Da's. He saw the sadness and the longing. Slowly he slid closer to him and raised his leg and layed it between Da's; his thigh resting gently beside Da's stiff cock. "You know I love you Da," he whispered. Da nodded and closed his eyes. Billy sat up and swung his leg completely over Da's body. He rested his hands on Da's chest and pushed himself back. Da's cock was nestled between his ass and balls. Billy could feel the warmth of the pulsating member. He gentle moved his body back and forth on Da's cock. Da inhaled deeply but did not open his eyes. Billy continued his movement letting the warmth of his young body heat Da's passions. Da began to pump his cock, timidly, into the boys flesh. "It's ok Da," Billy said, "It'll make you feel better," Da opened his eyes and Billy repeated, "It's ok," and bent down and kiss Da on the lips. Da held him in his arms and began pumping more earnestly. Billy pushed his body into Da's cock providing him with more friction. He could feel Da becoming more frantic for release. He layed his body over Da's and clamped his thighs around Da's pulsating member. Da's cock thrusted and pushed up between his legs. Da's breathing became shallow. He was holding on to Billy as if for dear life. He pumped wildly and finally stiffened and shot his cum all over the boys thighs and butt. He trembled and the last of load seeped out of him. Billy could feel Da's sperm running down the inside of his legs and dripping into his butt crack. Da's was staring at him and he smiled and kissed his stepfather. "Feel a little better?" he asked. Da nodded. "Do you think you can sleep now?" Billy inquired. Da nodded again. Billy got up slowly. He would have to clean up before going to Timmy. He head for the door; his strained hardon leading the way. "Billy," Da whispered. Billy stopped at the door and glanced over his shoulder. "Thank you," Da said and there was a bit of peace in his voice. What is taking him so long Timmy thought to himself. He had asked this question a thousand times since stripping nude and laying on his bed. His balls and cock were aching. Damn it he thought, Billy is punishing me for not wanting to wait earlier so now he's making me wait. He was a little annoyed by the thought. Billy had never taken this long before. He began playing with his cock hoping still that Billy would arrive soon to help him reach climax. Billy went into the bathroom and turned on the water. He tested the temperature and got in. His cock felt like it was going to burst. He let the warm water stream down his back and butt cheeks. He gently messaged his on cock. He had waited so long and now the only thing on his mind was sweet release. He grabbed the soap and foamed up his stiff cock; sliding his hand up and down slowly. The warm water soothe him: the rythum of his hand felt delicious. Timmy worked his cock faster. His legs were spread wide as he stroked himself. His eyes were closed as he jerked his cock and pinched his nipple with the other hand. He was raising his butt off of the bed grinding his cock into his flying fist. He pushed and pumped his dick into his pumping fist. Waiting was no longer an option. Billy continued sliding his slick hand over his willing cock. He grabbed the soap with the other hand lathered his ass. He shivered and his cock shook when his hand brushed his hole. He put the soap down, still massaging his cock, and ran his hand slowly along his crack. He pressed his middle finger against his hole and felt it slide in. "Mmmmmmm," he moaned; moving the finger in and out of his ass as he continued to stroke his cock. Timmy released his nipple and reached down with the same hand and grabbed his balls; he squeezed them. His other hand continued it's onslaught of his dick. He was getting close. He rubbed the tense spot between his balls and ass. He could felt his cock stiffen and enlarge. He pumped more dilibrately now; feeling the inside of his thighs and between his ass and balls. "uhaaaaa," he moaned, "ughaaaa." He arched his back one last time; his cock jerked and shot his sweet release. Billy removed his finger and backed up against the wall. He turn his hand and positioned his thumb at his hole. He pushed back with his ass and forward with his thumb. When it had slipped in as far as he could get it he pressed the opposite side of his hand a against the shower wall and rode his thumb as he massaged his cock. The provided resistance as he bound back on his thumb fucking himself. He ground his ass back against his thumb and pumped his cock eagerly with his other hand. The electricity rose in his bowels and spred to his balls. He felt the head of his cock spasm and the base jerk. "Oh!" he cried as steady shot of cum splattered on the shower's curtain. When Billy arrived downstairs, Timmy pretended to be asleep. He was still a bit pissed that Billy had taken so long. He'd wait for Billy to slip into bed with him and then they'd talk, he thought to himself. But Billy didn't come to his bed or try to wake him. He slipped into his own bed and turned his back to Timmy. Timmy waited and when he couldn't take the silence anymore said, "Billy? I'm sorry about earlier." Billy didn't answer. "Billy?" Timmy repeated. "Doesn't matter," Billy said, "Forget it." "Don't you want to sleep with me?" Timmy inquired. "Not tonight. I got a lot on my mind," Billy answered. "We can just sleep," Timmy responded, "Please Billy?" Timmy heart sank and tears weld up in his eyes as he heard the single word response from his brother, "No." Timmy stayed out of sight for most of the next day. He didn't know why Billy was so mad at him that he wouldn't even sleep with him. After all they had been through together. There was no way he could get his mind around what was happening. Da brought pizza home for dinner and while the boys were still eating announced that he was tired and was going to bed. Both Timmy and Billy's eye watched as he ascended the stairs. Billy put down his pizza and slowly rose and followed him. Da had undressed and was folding his covers back when Billy entered the room. They looked at eachother and Billy began unbuttoning his shirt. "No," Da said. Billy look up at him a bit confused. "Come in and close the door," Da said. Billy obeyed. "Billy," Da continued, "Last night....last night....Billy I've been weak since your mother died. Lost. But this is not the way. This your mother would never want." Billy's eyes filled with tears. "Didn't you like it Da?" he asked, "Didn't it make you feel better." Da laughed, "Yes, for a little while. But I couldn't help thinking.... well, that's not important. It was a real wake up call to me, son. I love you Billy; and Timmy too. I don't want to do anything to hurt you or him; or that would destory your mother's memory. So, no more tucking me in or laying nude with me in my bed. No more." Billy started to cry, "I'm sorry Da. I just wanted to make you feel better like I do with Timmy." Da looked up suddenly "What?!?, he said. There was a moment of horror in Billy's eyes as he realized what he had just said. Da regained his composer and went over to him and held him as Billy cried in his arms. "Listen to me Billy," Da said firmly, "I know it has been hard for all of us for a long time. God, I know when mom was alive, and sick, we...I didn't think about how things were affecting you boys. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you more than words can say but no more. Do you understand son? No more with me or with Timmy." Timmy's face had been battered. His left eye was puffy and half closed. His lips were swollen. He looked away as Billy held his own face in his left hand while the other curled at his right hip; he was crying. Timmy unfolded his schedule. Shit, he thought, gym. First period. He didn't find gym distasteful, exactly. There was always something interesting to see. Most of the guys were use to him; they knew he would look. Some even "accused" him of being "some kind of faggot" but Timmy had a way of making everyone smile in the end. He really wasn't interested in the boys at his school. Billy was always his truest love. It hurt him that there had been a two year, no touch, no discuss, policy between the three of them. Shortly after the conversation Da had with Billy, Da announced that he had decided that it was indeed time to allow each of them to have their own room. Billy got the new room. Timmy believed that Billy, eventually, would come to him. He had waited. But Billy never came to him and when he finally broke the silence and went to Billy; Billy wouldn't talk about their previous relationship. "There's nothing to talk about," he would say, "It's over. Boys experiment with each other all the time when they're young. But there's a time when we all have to grow up." That had really pissed Timmy off but eventually his love for Billy overwhelmed him and they were on speeking terms again. Timmy tried, over the years, to remind Billy of the love they once share: "Oh gaawwd, Billy," he said once with laughter and a wink, "You look good enough to eat!" Billy only look at him with a blank expression. When that didn't work, Timmy waited in Billy's room for him; clothed. Billy refused to enter the room. They eventually sat in the living room together and Timmy asked, "Why are you being this way? Why can't I touch you? Why can't I even hug you. Jeessh! Billy, Straight brothers hug. I love you so much, Billy." Timmy had watched his older brother simply shake his head and mutter, "That's just the way it has to be." He smiled at Timmy as he returned to his room and closed the door. At 14, Timmy was a beautiful child. He was slender but fit. His chest was well defined: his nipples two horizonal peaks; his waist V'd gracefully into his ample hips and the smooth globes of his ass. He loved the way his gym suit clung to his ass and caught more than a few of the fellows looking. It was the normal stuff: get issued your gym suit; try it on; introduce yourself to the class; do some goofy exercises; shower and on to the next class. Timmy noticed the new kid almost before anyone else. He wasn't sure what it was about the kid but he wanted to know him better. "Hi," Timmy said walking up to the kid and extending a hand, "Timmy's my name." The boy looked at Timmy's hand and then into Timmy's eyes before joining his hand with Timmy's and saying, "Tony, my name is Tony." There was giggling from the other end of the locker room and a shout, "Hey new kid! Better watch yourself in the showers. Don't drop the soap!" There was more laughter but Timmy simply turned to the crowd and said, "Pay no attention to these children, Tony, most of them can't even find their dicks and rest of them don't even know what to do with them." Everyone laughed as Tony just stared at Timmy. As it turned out, Tony had two additional classes with Timmy and had moved in only a few blocks from Timmy's house. Eventually they became fast friends and Tony became a regular around Timmy's house. Timmy liked having Tony around. He missed the closeness he had once had with Billy. "Who's your friend," Billy had asked the second or third time Tony had come to visit. Timmy heart had lept inside of him just to be talking to Billy about anything. He told Billy everything about meeting Tony, what they had in common, everything: "Besides," he had joked, "He kinda cute don't you think?" Billy had looked angrily at him then and he immediately regretted saying it but it was to late. Billy had turned to go to his room. "Wait Billy," he had cried, "I'm sorry. There's nothing going on between us. I swear. Please just talk to me. I'm sorry." Billy had yelled back that he didn't really care, he said, he was just asking. Billy avoided Tony like the plague and spent most of his time in his room whenever Tony was around. "Your brother hates me," Tony had said. "No," Timmy said, "He hates me," and tears rolled down his face. Tony came over and sat beside him and put an arm around him, "Don't say that," Tony pleaded, "I'm sure..." "No," Timmy said standing up, "He hates me and it's time for me to get over it." Some time after that Tony spent the night for the first time. They were watching videos in the living room when Billy returned home from his Junior Achievement meeting. "Come on," Timmy had said glaring at Billy, "We can enjoy ourselves better in my room." Billy shuffled his feet uneasily, "Timmy," he had started, "I need to talk to you." Timmy kinda laughted and said, "Yeah right," and he and Tony had gone to his room. It was Tony who brought it up. "Why do the guys always joke about you being some kind of a queer or something." "Who knows why assholes do anything," he said thinking of Billy. "You're mad at Billy, huh?" Tony asked. Timmy didn't want it to happen but he couldn't help it. He started to cry, "He such an asshole," he sobbed. Tony put his arm around him, "It's ok Timmy," he said, "You have me." Timmy shook his head and Tony held him. It was the first time in two and a half years that he had felt another male body this close to his. He looked at Tony and he smiled and kissed Timmy gently on the cheeks. Tony's eye's searched Timmy's for a moment and then he gently pressed his lips to Timmy's; just a short gentle kiss. Timmy brushed the tears from his eyes and reached up and brushed Tony's hair and cheek. Tony pressed his lips to Timmy's again and this time Timmy's lips parted and Tony slipped his tongue inside of Timmy's mouth. They layed on the bed legs intwined; Tony on top of Timmy and kissed. "Do you mind?" Tony asked, "You won't tell anyone, will ya?" Timmy shook his head from side to side. It felt good to be touched and held and kissed. No he didn't mind. They kissed again and Timmy thought of Billy. That was how it started and for the next two years Tony and Timmy were inseparatable. They shared their bodies freely with one another and Timmy found some comfort in this. "Do you love me?" Tony ask as Timmy was approaching his 17th birthday. Tony laid on top of him, his spent cock still in Timmy's ass, kissing him. Timmy laughed, "Jesus you're strange. I let you fuck my brains out and after you shoot enough cum in me to drown a whale you ask me if I love you? Jesus, Tony you're my best friend." Tony slowly pulled his now deflating cock out of Timmy and rolled off of him. "I know we are best friends," Tony answered, "I didn't ask you that. I want to know if you love me. Really love me." Timmy sat up. Gawd, he thought, I do love you Tony but not the way you want me too. And he thought of Billy. "I...I mean," Timmy was trying to say, "I do but..." Tony's eyes weld up with tears and put a hand to Timmy's mouth to stop him from going on. "I understand," Tony said and gently began to cry. Timmy tried to explain how important Tony was to him but knew that Tony need more than he could give him. Tony needed someone to love him as much as Timmy loved Billy. That day, they stopped seeing eachother. Timmy had meet Dean in his freshman year of college. He was introduced to him by a mutual friend and they hit it off right away. Dean was openly gay and by hanging with him Timmy was proclaiming his gayness also. Billy didn't like Dean and came to Timmy to talk to him about it. "Damn it," Timmy had screamed, "I'm 19 years old. The only person I ever really wanted to love has done nothing but push me away for the last seven years! Seven fucking years, Billy!" Billy just stood there with his head bowed. "I know Tim," he said, "I've been an asshole. I'm sorry but please don't go out with this guy." Tim looked at him and there was anger in his eyes. He wanted to hurt Billy as much as he had been hurt during the past seven years. "What are you going to do for me if I don't go out with him," Tim hissed, "Are you going to take me to bed and make love to me?" He hadn't waited for an answer but had brushed passed Billy; jumped into his car and sped away. Billy stood frozen in the same spot, with tears rolling down his face, he whispered, "Yes, Tim, I would." Billy cried the whole night after Da told him he was not to sleep with him or Timmy. He didn't know how to stop with Timmy. The thought of them not making love for as long as they both lived had never occurred to him. He didn't know what to tell Timmy. He didn't know if he could stay away from him. At first he thought he would just tell Timmy it was time for them to act like "real brothers." But any time he was close to him he wanted to have him in his arms, kiss his lips, drive himself inside of him. All it took was an accidental touch and he was overhelmed with desire for his younger brother. So he made a pledge to himself. He would never be alone with Timmy in the same room and he would avoid touching him at all cost. It was a stupid thing to pledge he would admit later but without it, he knew he would not have been able to resist Timmy for very long. Seven year?, he thought to himself. He had watched his younger brother grow up. He was just as handsome now as he had been beautiful as a child. Seven years? It had been a mesirable time for Billy. He had been happy when Tim met Tony. At least during that time Timmy seemed somewhat happy: almost like his old self again. He wanted to tell him how much he had missed him; how much he still loved him; why he had been avoiding him. He had tried one night after a Junior Acheivement meeting but it wasn't a good time. So many times Tim had tried to talk to him and he couldn't. He was afraid that if they talked about it they would wind up in eachothers arms. Gawd! He wanted that but there was Da. He had promised. He became withdrawn really. He stuck to his studies and after school activities. When he was home he spent most of his time in his room, alone. Sometimes, he allow himself one small pleasure. In the very early hours of the morning, when he couldn't sleep, he would quietly slip into the old room he had shared with Tim. There he would watch his brother sleep and wish he could slip in between the sheets with him: he never did and to his knowledge Tim never knew of his secret practice. Billy had never talked to Tim about his relationship with Tony. He knew that at some point it had become sexual but didn't know why it ended. He hadn't felt close enough to Tim to ask and after the break up Timmy became as much as a hermit as he was. But all that changed as Timmy enter his Sophmore year of college. Billy was in his Senior year and preparing for a position in Da's company. Billy was glad Timmy had decided to enroll at the same college he was in and they were at last pleasant to each other when they met in the halls. Billy didn't really approve of Timmy's decission to out himself but defended him as any good brother would. He had seen Dean around and there was just something about the guy he didn't like. And now Tim had gone out with him. He stood crying for a bit in the spot where Tim had scolded him. Why couldn't he every tell him how much he still loved him and wanted him. I've lost him forever, he thought, I've lost him forever. Da sat at the restaurant still gazing in disbelief at the documents he had signed a half hour before. My God Lizzy, he thought, we did it. He had spoken to his dead wife since the night he and Billy had "slept" together. He had begged her forgiveness a thousand times. He had promised her again and again that night that he would make it up to the boys. Somehow. Nine months after her death, he had received a letter from an attorney. He turned out to be the executor of Lizzy's will. A will that Da knew nothing of. The long and short of it was that there was an insurance policy. After taxes, and outstanding debts, Da received a payment of 1.3 million dollars. "Don't worry Darling", she had said the morning the word cancer entered their lives, "You and the boys will make it and I won't be in pain anymore." It was then that Da had cried and Billy had pulled Timmy to their room. He had taken $500,000 for each of the boys and put it in trust. They could do with it what they wanted when they reached 21. Da took the rest and started NeuroTech, a firm that used human brain algorithms and integreted them with computer circuits. Nobody really thought it would work but Da was looking at a contract that would net him 50 million dollars at worst and guaranteed the boys 5 million in their first years in the company and a sizable amount for each additional year. Da put the contract and the downpayment in his brief case and started for the door. His cell phone rang. It was Billy. Timmy was at the hospital. Timmy's face had been battered. His left eye was puffy and half closed. His lips were swollen. He looked away as Billy held his own face in his left hand while the other curled at his right hip; he was crying. Timmy had gone directly to Dean's place that night. They were suppose to meet at "The Lark" a local gay hang out. Dean was shocked when Timmy arrived at his door. Although Timmy had said he was interested in pursuing a relationship with him it never got very far and Timmy certainly never had come to his apartment. But here he was; crying and upset. "Hey!" Dean had said studying Timmy, "Come on in. What's wrong?" Timmy had said it was nothing really just another fight with his asshole brother. They sat on the couch together and Timmy ask Dean if he would just hold him. Dean did; gently stroking Timmy's back. Timmy calmed down quite abit and looked up and smiled at Dean; and he kissed him, "Thank you for being here," Timmy had said, "I think we can go now." But Dean had no intentions of leaving now that he had Tim where he wanted him. "Come on, baby," he had urged, "Let's go to bed. I've been waiting so long for you." Timmy had refused and Dean got anger. "You fucking tease!" he had screamed, "I oughta kick your ass!" Timmy had gotten up to leave but Dean pushed him back on to the couch. "I don't think I want to see you anymore," Timmy had said. Dean screamed, "What! You fucking whore, I'll tell you when we're through!; and he had slap Timmy then. Timmy tried to get to the door but Dean wrestled him to the ground slapping and punching him as he went. Timmy fought as long as he could. But Dean was vicious. When Timmy fought to keep his pants on, Dean knee him in the groin and punched him in the face and ribs until he stripped him. Timmy was begging through his tears, "Please Dean, no, please stop." Dean ignored him and forced him on his stomach and enter Timmy's protesting ass. Timmy scream from the pain of the violent attach but fought no more. He lay praying Dean would finish and let him go. He cried softly for Billy. It was hearing the whispered word that set him off. "What! Bitch! You been playing me?! Dean screamed, "You been fucking someone else this whole fucking time." As his cock pumped into Timmy's ass, his fist pounded the back and side of Timmy's head until he passed out. He didn't know how he had gotten to the hospital. A neighbor had heard the screams and pounding and called the police. Dean was under arrest and Timmy had no permenant damage. "You can say it," Tim had said to Billy, "You can tell me you told me not to go." Billy had looked at him tenderly and said, "There are so many things I want to say but that's not one of them." Timmy had lashed out at him, "So many things? What the hell can you tell me that I don't already know? You and Da think you know everything and think I don't know shit! You swore, Billy, you swore to me that you would never leave me, never hurt me! But you did! You hurt me more than Dean could have ever hurt me. You left me alone!" It was then that Timmy turned away from his brother and Billy began to cry. "Timmy," Billy said through his tears, "I never stopped loving you. God, Tim, you have to believe me. So many times I watched you sleep at night...." Tim turned back suddenly and looked at his brother, "What!?" he asked. "Sometimes," Billy continued, "I couldn't take how far apart we had become so I would come to your room when you were asleep and just watch you. I just wanted to be close to you." Billy gazed at his brother tenderly with tears sreaming down his face. "I know what happened with you and Da," Tim said matter of factly. Billy looked at him with big eyes. "I wasn't spying or anything. I just heard Da talking to you about it; about you and him and you and me." "I'm sorry," was all that Billy could muster. For all these years Timmy had known. He had known. "I needed you Billy. Ok, maybe it would have been hard without the sex but I needed you to hold me and tell me it would be all right. To rustle my hair. To touch me, just to touch me, just to let me know you still loved me." Billy bent down and gently kissed Tim's bruised cheeks, "I do still love you," Billy paused, "In more ways than one." Tim shook his head, "No Billy," he said, "I don't...." "Please don't say you don't still love me too," Billy pleaded, "I couldn't bare it." "You left me alone," Tim cried, "For seven years you barely spoke to me; never touched me. Now you want to pretend it didn't happen?" "No," Billy said shaking his head, "I want the chance to make it up to you." Da arrived at the hospital to discover that Timmy was in ICU on the 3rd floor. Timmy had been beaten and raped. God, Lizzy, he thought. He knew that Billy had already arrived and eagerly pushed the buttons to the elevator. His heart was racing. The elevator was taking to long; he spotted the stairs. He went bounding up the stairs desperate to see Timmy. Da never made it. A hospital attendent found him some hours later just a half flight down from Timmy's floor. He had had a heart attack. He had died rushing to see Tim. They had gone to the furneral together. Billy had held Tim's hand during the whole service. For years after that people talked about how Da's death had brought them together. It didn't matter to them what other people thought. By the time Da's estate came out of probate, Billy had graduated from college and had take up his position as Senior Vice President of Computer Mathematics. At 21, he bought the penthouse in which he and Tim lived in until this day. Tim had smiled brightly as he watched his older brother graduate with honors. He had healed from his ordeal with Dean and though Billy had been kind and gentle with him since then they hadn't made love. Tim had planned a night out at their favorite restaurant, then to the symphony, to celebrate the graduation. Billy came over and hugged him and Tim held on to him. "I'm so proud of you," Tim said. They laughed holding one another. "We better go if we are going to make dinner and the symphony," Tim reminded Billy. Billy looked Tim in the eyes and caressed his cheek with the back of his hand, "I don't want to go to dinner or the symphony but I will if you want too." They didn't speak as they undressed eachother. And when they finally stood nude before one another they laughed in part out of uneasiness and in part because there long exile from one another was over. They layed together on the bed gently touching and caressing one another; rediscovering eachothers bodies. They kissed long and slow and made love to one another throughout the night. Billy was scared about entering Tim after he had been so brutally raped. "Are you sure?" Billy asked again and again, "We don't have to do that if it brings back bad memories." Timmy was sure. He pulled Billy on top of him, "I want you inside me. Please don't argue anymore." Billy didn't and they both gave sighs of releif when his cock finally slipped into Timmy. They never forgot that night and remembered it as the night they fell in love again. The End epilog Tim took the glass from Billy and put it on the black marble table next to Billy's favorite chair. "Ok," he said, "If you're in one of your moods tonight, I know what will make you feel better." He smiled and reached out his hand. Billy shook his head but smiled and took Tim's hand; and Tim led him to their bedroom.
