Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 07:57:08 -0500 From: Miroslav Curren Subject: A Kiss Around Midnight 4 **************************************************************************** Writer's note: This story is about what me and my friend went through and what we are currently living through. This is pretty much the way our life is. Why did we decide to write this? Because love has no gender, we cannot help but to love guys, we did not choose this life, but now that we have embraced it we love it. We changed the names of people and the location because there are a lot of nuts out there and we really do not feel like being stalked. There is plenty of cursing because us and our friends curse like sailors, it's that simple. We want to thank you Miro for all the help we know you thought we were nuts for wanting to write it but thank you anyways. Enjoy and write Miro if you want to make a comment. Editor's note: I was approached by "Kieran and Caleb" not too long ago about writing this story after they found a couple of the Nifty stories that I had saved on my desktop. I was very apprehensive about them wanting to share their life and struggles with the general public. I made it clear to them that I thought it was a bad idea but they insisted on sharing it. They would like to help anyone out there struggling with their sexuality to be true to themselves. This story is pretty much how things went and how things are going for them, like all gay teens they have gone through some struggles but they have jealously been protected by us, those who care and love them. I have taken what they wrote (mostly Kieran) and expanded it to make it more entertaining. The sexual content within this story was extremely difficult to edit because it is something that I believed should ONLY be between the boys and no one else, they wanted to add it and with reluctance and after much thought I obliged. With that being said I guard their true identity with absolute jealousy, it is something that I have been entrusted with and I do not intend on breaking my promise to their parents or to them. I welcome all comments, I will not entertain any strange requests, so please don't even send them, thank you.

He tried to move but felt Caleb's leg over his own. Both of their shorts had hiked up during the night so most of their thighs were exposed. He loved how warm Caleb's leg felt, he felt the tiny hairs on Caleb's leg that tickled him slightly and then he noticed Caleb's morning wood. He blinked his eyes trying to adjust his eyes to the day light and to better focus on Caleb's dick. He couldn't keep his eyes off of it, he wanted to reach over and grab it and in a moment of weakness did just that. He carefully maneuvered his arm around trying not to wake Caleb up and lightly grabbed his rock hard dick, he gave it a couple of gentle squeezes and stroked it for a second or two. He felt his own dick get hard which gave him the urge to do something about it; he stopped touching Caleb's dick and reached inside his own shorts and boxers to grab a hold of his own dick. He slowly began to stroke it being careful not to move too much. What he didn't know was that Caleb had NOT been asleep, in fact he had waken up not long before Kieran did and carefully placed his leg on top of Kieran's to feel his skin causing him to get hard. He was in shock when he felt Kieran touch his dick but he loved how it felt, this was the first time another person had touched it, he was nervous, scared and shocked. He couldn't believe that this kid who he barely met yesterday was touching the most intimate part of his body. He carefully opened his eyes enough to see what was going on and shut them tightly as he saw Kieran stroking his own dick; the excitement was starting to make him shake. He wanted to speak up and tell him not to stop but he just simply couldn't he couldn't muster the courage to say anything, he didn't know what to do so he just yawned, he didn't know what that would accomplish but at the time it seemed like a good idea. Kieran stopped in his tracks, he didn't know what to do, he didn't want to freak his friend out so he pretended as if he was scratching his nuts. He turned to see Caleb slowly opening his eyes so he quickly took his hand out of his boxers and placed it on his stomach. "Hey you're up!" Kieran nervously said. "Yeah...good morning!" Caleb yawned. "Sleep good?" Kieran asked trying to not look so suspicious. "Uh huh, really good" Caleb said stretching and yawning again, he noticed that his dick wouldn't go down and began to panic. "I gotta take a massive piss, I'll be right back". "Yeah I can tell" Kieran joked as he pointed down at Caleb's crotch. "You too" Caleb replied also pointing down at Kieran's crotch. Both boys turned a bright red embarrassed by the fact that they were seeing each other's hard dicks. Caleb got off the bed and without thinking stretched raising his arms straight in the air and curving his back making his dick stick out even more. "Damn dude!" Kieran joked pointing at his dick making Caleb laugh, he instinctively reached for his dick and gave it a squeeze as he tried to keep the piss in. " Crap...I should've given you a mushroom tattoo while you were asleep" Caleb mumbled as he walked out of the room. "What?" Kieran called after Caleb but he didn't respond back. "OH FUCK! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" Kieran thought to himself. He was now in a full blown panic attack, he couldn't believe he had just grabbed Caleb's dick, he hyperventilated as he thought about all the shit storm he possibly started. He wanted to scream and take it all back but he realized it was too late for all that; deep sadness and despair began to poison his heart. He sat on his bed as he felt the tears roll down his cheeks, he hiked his knees up and hugged them burying his face between his knees, he was ashamed of what he had done, he didn't want to face Caleb again but that was going to be nearly impossible, he had to face him, he had to speak to him. Caleb himself was on an all-out panic attack, he was shaking all over, he didn't know if it was from excitement, shock, or perhaps even revulsion. Different thoughts flooded his mind, he wanted to run back in Kieran's room and question him about what he had done but thought better of it, he didn't want to hurt his feelings or scare him, he simply wanted to know if Kieran was also like him, he wanted to know if he was also as tormented as he was. Caleb stared at the toilet and remembered he had to take a piss, he took his penis out but nothing came out, he inspected it almost expecting to find something wrong with it, he became frustrated when his bladder refused to release its contents so he washed his hands, took a breath and walked back into Kieran's room. He was immediately greeted by Kieran's sobbing, he didn't know what to do, what was going on, all he knew was that his new friend was hurting and he wanted to help. He cleared his throat to get Kieran's attention but he didn't respond. Caleb walked closer to him and placed his arm on his Kieran's shoulder. "You okay bro? What's wrong?" he asked. Kieran didn't respond, he continued to quietly sob "Kieran!" Caleb called out more forcefully. Kieran looked up but said nothing, Caleb saw the despair, the pain, the confusion deep in his beautiful gray eyes, his heart melted, he wanted to relieve Kieran of the pain, of the despair he was feeling. He reached out to him and held him in his arms, he felt how tense his body felt so he gently rubbed his back trying to calm him down. Caleb said nothing to him, he simply held him in his arms reassuring him that no matter what he was always going to be there to help him get through whatever life throws at him. Suddenly an idea hit him, he knew how to reassure Kieran that no matter what he was going to be his friend. He pulled away from Kieran and smiled, Kieran sat there looking at him and sniffled. "Can I ask you something" Caleb said still smiling. Kieran's heart sank, he didn't know what Caleb was going to ask but he was afraid, he braced himself for bad news "Okay" he simply replied. "Want to be my best friend?" Caleb asked. Kieran couldn't believe what he was hearing, he was expecting Caleb to yell at him, to punch him, or to even ask him if he was a fag but he never expected this, his heart almost stopped, he tried to speak but nothing came out. "I-I-Yeah...Okay" Was all that he could say. "Dang dude I thought you'd be more happy than that!" Caleb joked. "So you're gonna starve me or what? I'm so hungry my ass is eating my boxers". Kieran laughed and reluctantly got off his bed "You're nuts you know that?" he said leading Caleb out to the kitchen where he got 2 cereal bowls out and made some Honey Bunches of Oats for them. Caleb jumped on the counter top and began to devour his cereal. "Slow down man, no one is going to take it from you!" Kieran joked. "There you go, now you're back" Caleb replied with a mouth full of cereal spilling some of the milk on his chest. "You're nasty..." Kieran chuckled. "You ain't seen nothing yet!" Caleb proudly said. Suddenly Kieran smacked himself on the head making Caleb spill some more milk on himself "I gotta call K.C and tell him I'm cheating on him!" Kieran said as he put the bowl down and rushed to his room. Caleb was amused by Kieran's outburst. "Fuck that shit!" Kieran returned saying "I have 7 missed calls 3 emails, and 15...yep 15 texts from him!" Kieran said sounding exasperated. "HA!" Caleb replied pointing at Kieran "You're in some shit now, he'll kick your ass...especially now that me and you are going out" "What? You guys are going out? Like boyfriends!?" They heard Jamie say. "No you idiot it's a joke!" Kieran replied tossing a roll of paper towels at him. "OW! Quit it!" The boy yelled. "SHUT UP! You're going to wake mom and dad up!" Kieran angrily said. "Too late for that!" Kieran's mom said as she tied her bathrobe and walked into the kitchen. "MOM! Kieran and Caleb are boyfriends!" Jamie said cowering behind his mom. In an instant Kieran rushed his little brother but his mom stopped him "HEY! Settle down, it's too early for that!" She said trying to keep Kieran from ripping Jamie apart. "And if they are I would love them all the more" She finished saying grabbing Kieran's cheeks with both hands and giving his head a shake. "Well for the record we are not going out like that, I just asked him to be my best friend that's all!" Caleb added trying to clear things up. "And for the record I don't allow little boys to sit on my counter tops" She said winking at Caleb. "Oops sorry" Caleb groaned as he jumped off the counter top. "So? What's the plan for you guys today?" She asked. "Well I was thinking about spinning some records for him but other than that we'll probably just hang out here" Kieran replied. "The only thing I ask is that you be mindful of the time, don't begin before noon and do NOT end after 5 got it?" She said "Oh and Caleb keep track of the time, sometimes he forgets how to read time" "Not a prob I got it!" Caleb said as he saw Kieran pointing at his own nose. "Alright mom, gotta do my duty to the queen and shower...I'm sure Mr. Brown-nose wants to do the same" Kieran said dropping his bowl in the sink and walking back to his room, Caleb copied him and followed him into the room. "Brown nose? Yeah right! I gotta get on her good side and what the hell is your duty to the queen?" Caleb said. Kieran laughed as he dug in his dresser for a fresh pair of boxers and sox, he laid them on top of his bed and walked over to his closet and grabbed his towel "It means I gotta take a shit, just sounds better saying it that way". "Eww!!" Caleb replied. "Well you asked!" Kieran said indignantly walking out of the room. Caleb laughed to himself as he laid back down on the bed to wait for Kieran. He thought about how things were going and was satisfied at how quickly they were becoming close, their personalities complimented each other, Kieran seemed to understand him, he understood his jokes and returned the jabs right back. He was glad that he was finding someone else to hang-out with now that Karlan was so busy with his girlfriend, the thought made his stomach turn, he loved Karlan but was upset that he had really chosen a girl over him, he was hurt and felt betrayed. He thought about his dick being grabbed by Kieran and how he didn't feel repulsed, he had in fact enjoyed it. After several minutes Kieran returned, the shower had reinvigorated his spirits but what really had cheered him up was that Caleb had not punched him or ran out of the house after he had fondled him. It gave him hope that perhaps things were going to be okay, he was glad that Caleb was there to help him when he needed it, he regretted not speaking to him earlier, he was thankful that things were going the way they were going. Caleb didn't spend too much time in the shower, he returned to find Kieran nicely dressed and smelling good. "Err...are we going out or something?" Caleb asked confused. "No...unless you want to...why?" Kieran asked. "Cus you're all dressed up like if you're going out" Caleb responded. Kieran looked at himself not understanding why Caleb felt that way "Dude this is not dressed up...it's just some shorts and a shirt" Kieran said. "Ugh, yeah but I dunno you even got cologne on" "Yeah you're supposed to smell nice, you're not supposed to stink" "Well shit now you're making me feel like a dirt ball, I just brought my shorts and a shirt" Kieran had always enjoyed dressing nice, smelling nice, and just having a good appearance, it was something that the other boys thought he over did, in fact they thought he was a bit too high maintenance but it was not why Kieran dressed the way he dressed, he simply enjoyed looking nice, he did it to please himself and no one else. He was wearing a baby blue blind t-shirt that hugged his body; the shirt had the blind grim reaper on it killing a rollerblader that he thought was hilarious. He wore black Ezekiel shorts, grey Josh Kalis DC shoes, and his beloved hemp bracelets that his mom, brother and dad had made for him. The only thing that he did to impress Caleb was wear his Clinique for men cologne; he really enjoyed the smell and wanted to smell good for Caleb. "You're not a dirt ball bro" Kieran said trying to contain a giggle. "Yeah well I thought you only dressed like that at school not all the time, I just wear shorts and a shirt when I'm home" Caleb said feeling self-conscious. He reluctantly reached for his black basketball shorts and his white v-neck t-shirt and got dressed. Kieran had always thought that Caleb was a good looking boy, there was nothing that he could wear that would make him look ugly but he saw that Caleb was self-conscious and wanted to help. "At the risk of sounding like a fruit I gotta say this...you look good no matter what" he said eying Caleb from head to toe. "HA! You ARE a fruit let's not pretend you're not" Caleb joked. "Ok keep it up dude, let me remind you that just yesterday you told me you stared at my junk in the locker room" Kieran retorted. "Oh but that's different..." Kieran rolled his eyes and said nothing in return. The boys spent the rest of the morning watching cartoons waiting for noon to arrive. When it was close to noon Kieran suggested that they go into the garage. He was eager to show Caleb his skills, they weren't great, he had a long way to go, but he still wanted to show Caleb what he could do. Kieran said nothing as he immediately stood behind the turn tables, Caleb watched intently as his friend fidgeted, turned knobs and looked through a case full of records. He saw as Kieran reached inside and leaf through his records occasionally muttering words he could not hear. The anticipation was building inside of him, he had truly liked the song Kieran played for him the night before but most importantly he wanted to experience who Kieran truly was, he wanted to see him in his element. He knew that the awkward kid he saw every day at school was not the real Kieran, he had seen glimpses of the true Kieran whenever he spied on him, this was the Kieran he had fallen for, this was the Kieran he wanted to experience, right here, right now. Finally, Kieran found what he was looking for, he looked up at Caleb, smiled and placed 2 records on the turn tables, he grabbed his headphones and set them on his head. The expression on his face changed, he was no longer smiling, he had an intense look in his yes, then he dropped the needled on the first record. White noise was heard emanating from the speakers, Caleb's heart began to race, then thump, thump, thump, thump, the rhythmic kick drum of Trance was heard. Kieran bobbed his head up and down to the beat of the song as "Knock you out" by Tiesto played. Caleb's feet began to move on their own, the song enveloped his entire body and in an instant he too had fallen in love with Trance. Before Caleb even realized the song had changed the rhythm of the second song continued to move his entire body almost as if invisible hands were moving his limbs, he was no dancer but he didn't care how ridiculous he looked, he also knew Kieran would never judge him negatively or make fun of him, he felt as if he could truly be himself, he felt safe, all inhibitions left him, perhaps it was the song that was making him feel this way, or perhaps it was seeing Kieran look so peaceful, so happy, that it caused something deep in his subconscious to release and open up. The song was stirring emotions deep within him that he had suppressed for far too long "...let go of the pain..." the song repeated as if it was directly speaking to him. He had not realized but tears were streaming down his face, memories of a time long gone all came back at once "...let go of the pain..." the song kept beckoning to him. He wanted to let go, he wanted never to hurt again, he wanted his brother to love him again. Kieran was lost in his thoughts, he wanted to share the love he had for Trance with his friend, he wanted to send him on a journey, the same journey that these very songs had taken him on. He had chosen these songs because they had also evoked emotions deep within himself that he had bottled up for far too long. As he looked up to see Caleb's reaction he smiled, he saw as Caleb slowly shuffled his feet side to side bobbing his head to the music and tears streaming down his face, he saw the pain drawn all over Caleb's face, they locked eyes and so many things were said between them at that very moment that words could not express, he knew right at that very moment that they were destined to be together, that fate had brought them together, he didn't understand why he felt this way, all he knew was that Caleb understood him more than anyone had ever even tried. Kieran fought hard to pull his gaze off of Caleb's, he went back to manipulating the mixer as Ferry Corsten's "A day without rain" was finishing and Moogwai's "Viola (Armin Van Buuren Remix)" began. A sudden flash of light drew his attention off his mixer, he looked up at Caleb and saw him taking pictures with his iPhone. He smiled, waved, stuck his tongue out and tried his best to look "cool" as Caleb continued to snap pictures. This was Kieran's favorite record, it was a song that had haunted his mind after he heard it for the first time, he wanted to share it with Caleb, he wanted to have him fall in love with it because he wanted something else in common with him and when he looked at how much Caleb was having fun moving to the music and taking pictures he knew that he was hooked. He cued the next record and blended it almost flawlessly, he wasn't too worried that he was off beat just a little because he was sure that Caleb hadn't noticed. As the song began to play he was waved over by Caleb, he pointed at his phone and then to himself asking to take a picture with him. Caleb was no longer crying, he looked happy and like he was enjoying himself which Kieran was thankful for. He walked next to Caleb as he pulled him closer touching their faces together, he began to snap more pictures as the song continued to play. "What's the name of this one...I like it" Caleb whispered in Kieran's ear. "A kiss around midnight" Kieran replied. Caleb smiled, looked at Kieran and tenderly placed his lips on Kieran's as he snapped another picture. Chapter 5 coming soon.
