Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 02:49:52 +0000 From: Douglas DD Subject: Aiden 2 Chapter 59 (Revised) Welcome back after a long gap between chapters. I was away traveling and unable to do any posting. In this chapter, Aiden gets a great surprise from his "not a boyfriend". Please make a holiday gift to the Nifty Archive to help keep the stories coming over the next year. CHAPTER 59 EVEN BUSIER TUESDAY, AUGUST 28 Coach Bill and his assistant, a student at Centralia College in Kentburg, started practice promptly at three in the afternoon. Aiden felt very grown up when his dads gave him permission to ride his bike to practice and back. The first week's practices were all going to be held at East Lake Park, which meant Aiden could ride the bike on the walking and bike trail along Lakeshore Road. This was especially important because Phil would be at work and Larry would be putting in time at school preparing for the start of the school year. "Two rules," Larry told him. "First, you ride only on the bike trail." "Daddy, that's always been the rule." "It is part of the daddy code to remind boys of everything, no matter how much they think they know everything." "Somebody needs to rewrite the code." "Like that will ever happen. It just so happens to be etched in stone." Aiden knew it was time to escape out of his hole. "What is the second rule?" "You walk your bike across Lakeshore Road when you have to cross it." Aiden would have to cross the road when he reached the northeast entrance to the park. "I can ride across it faster," Aiden pointed out. "But you can walk across it safer. Look, once you get settled in we can discuss loosening things up." "Does this mean I can start riding my bike to school?" "All it means for now is you can ride you bike to soccer practice." "Why? I'm riding the same bike trail. And don't tell me about crossing Highway 12 because I do it when I go visit my friends." Larry gave Aiden the look that said, This discussion is almost over. "While Highway 12 has something to do with the decision, the fact that you would be riding a lot in the dark plus the convenience of riding the bus are telling factors." Aiden ignored Larry's look in order to get in a last question. "So, when it we get more light in the spring and I'm almost twelve, can I ask you about riding my bike to school again?" Larry nodded. "You can ask again as long as you observe a moratorium on asking the question between now and the commencement of Daylight Savings Time." "Moratorium means I won't do it at all, right?" "Exactly." Aiden thought practice was fun, especially since all of his best friends were there. Coach Bill knew he had his work cut out for him. First of all, he had 22 boys turning out and was allowed a maximum of 18 boys on the roster. Secondly, the team was young with only nine twelve-year-olds turning out and two of those were not ready to play a higher level of soccer. "The two fifth graders turning out are better than a couple of the older kids," Bill told his assistant, who readily agreed. Except for crossing Lakeshore Road at the park, Aiden rode his bike home from practice. As he turned into the driveway, he tried to figure out why it was okay if he rode his bike when he crossed the road in front of the house, but he had to walk it where it passed the park. He wondered if his moratorium on asking about riding to school included that question. He decided not to chance it. Larry arrived from school as Aiden pushed his bike into the garage. Aiden accompanied him up the stairs into the main house, babbling non-stop about how practice had gone. He went on up the stairs to his bedroom where he stripped naked before booting up his computer. After Phil arrived from work he and Larry cooked up dinner. Aiden donned his long t-shirt for dinner. While they ate, he let Phil know everything he had told Larry and then some. After dinner, he helped clean up and then went to the TV room to watch the Mariner game. He had been wearing nothing under his long t-shirt, so that was all he had to take off. He sat in his favorite chair. Just as he settled in, his viewing as well as his casual playing with his cocklet were disturbed by the doorbell playing Beethoven. "Get dressed and then come to the living room," Phil yelled out. Aiden knew who he was yelling at and he quickly dashed out of the room and up to his bedroom. He pulled on a pair of board shorts and a t-shirt and came downstairs. The pattern on the board shorts was a bit on the wild side, to put it mildly. Aiden didn't recognize the lady in the room, but he did recognize the two boys and the stuffed animal they each had on their lap. They were Cole and Davey and the animals on their laps were Megrez and Andy, the stuffed animals he and Gordy had donated to them. "Aiden, this is Mrs. Gunther. I'm sure you recognize Cole and Davey." Aiden walked over to Mrs. Gunther and held out his hand, which the surprised lady promptly grabbed and shook. The boys had each had a birthday since the day of their trailer fire—Cole was now seven and Davey was four. Megrez was sitting on Cole's lap, a red scarf wrapped around his neck. "Megrez has a new scarf," Aiden observed. "He still has the green one, but Mrs. G made him a new one so he has two." Cole said proudly. It was then that Aiden realized that the lady was not the boys' mother. Larry saw the confusion on Aiden's face. "Mrs. Gunter is the boys' foster mother." "I'm sure your father will tell you the story later," Mrs. Gunther said with a smile. Larry nodded to indicate that would be the case. "The boys have something they would like to tell you." Davey pointed to the yellow scarf around Andy the Panda's neck. "Andy has a scarf." "Thank you for helping me and Davey, Aiden" Cole said sincerely. "I love Megrez." "Thank you," the little four-year-old said shyly. "I love Andy Panda." "Follow me," Aiden grinned. "I want to show you something." The boys got out of their chairs and Aiden led them to his bedroom. "You have a nice room and it is big," Cole observed. Then he saw Horace on his perch over his desk. "Is that yours?" "Donkey," Davey grinned. "Yep," Aiden said. "He is Horace the Donkey. Megrez was his friend when he lived here in my bedroom. I wanted Horace to see Megrez so he would know that Megrez had a good home with two boys who love him." The two little boys clutched Aiden together, giving him a mutual hug. "We love you," Cole said. Aiden was surprised that he was fighting back tears. He knew that the two boys would be his friends for life. He was pleased to see how well they had cared for the two stuffed animals. It made what he and Gordy had done seem even more worthwhile. When the boys returned to the living room, Aiden saw that Mrs. Gunther and his dads were deep in conversation. "Hi, boys, welcome back," Larry said. "We should probably be going," Mrs. Gunther said. "The boys and I thought it would be a nice gesture to thank Aiden and Gordon for what they did for Cole and Davie." The three of them had visited Gordy and his parents before coming to Aiden's house. What Aiden didn't know is that the visits had been arranged in advance by Mrs. G. to ensure that the families would be home. She had also requested that the visits should be made a surprise for the boys. After the guests left, Aiden and his dads went to the family discussion room. Larry and Phil sat on the sofa while Aiden sat in his recliner. Aiden didn't have to be told by his dads that they were meeting to talk about their surprise (at least for Aiden) guests. "First of all, my eyes need protection from those garish things you're wearing," Phil said. "I'm surprised those poor little boys weren't blinded." "You mean my board shorts?" Aiden asked. "Well, I certainly wasn't referring to a blue and white Mayfield Mustangs shirt." "Like you can talk. Your lounge pants are so loud I could close my eyes and hear them coming." "I'm just thankful you both weren't dressed in your most dazzling colors," Larry chuckled. "These shorts are for outdoors," Aiden pointed out. "They can burn the paint off the walls when you're inside." "Just protect us all and take them off," Phil said with mock seriousness. "I was in a hurry to dress and went commando." "I've seen your free balls before." "Wow, I can't believe you're actually telling me to get naked." "We have to get used to it," Larry said, "since your naked week starts on Saturday." "Yeah, I've been meaning to say something about that." "Oh?" "It's kind of unfair since I miss two days because we'll be in Seattle and then School starts on Wednesday so that's three more days away from home. I should get to start my naked week tomorrow." "I think he has a good point," Larry told Phil. "What do you think?" "I agree," Phil said. Aiden grinned. This was turning out easier than he thought it would. "We start tomorrow, except he can't be naked during his party on Saturday, since there will be girls here." "Wow, that makes another day I would have lost. My week would have been one-day long. I should be able to add one more day to make seven." Aiden pulled off his shorts and tossed them over the back of the chair, revealing his hairless cock and balls. "Happy, or should I take off my shirt, too?" "No, that's good," Phil said. "I can see you without squinting." "I'm not quite sure I understand your math as far as the number of nudist days you have coming," Larry said. "It goes like this, tomorrow is day one and..." "Stop there. Here is my plan and if you and your dad approve it will be our plan. Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday are three days. Next Tuesday will make four. You can be naked for meals and whatever on Thursday through Saturday next week, which is three days, making seven. Tuesday we're going to eat out to celebrate you and me surviving the first day of school. Fair enough?" "What if something screws up one of the days we picked?" Aiden asked. "Then you can scream that life is unfair and we move on." "How about I get one more day I can pick for whenever I want if I lose one of the days?" "Fair enough, but whatever day you end up picking will be the day no matter what happens." Aiden thought for a couple of seconds. He was getting more concessions than he had dreamed possible, so he accepted the stipulations. Phil thought the setup was fair and the family agreed on how Aiden's life as a total naturist at home would work. "Now, about Cole and Davie," Larry said. Aiden listened intently as Phil explained how their mother had been charged with child abandonment and child endangerment after leaving the two young boys in the trailer while she went out with a friend. An electrical short then started the fire that the boys were lucky to survive. This wasn't the first instance of their mother leaving them alone and being brought before a judge for it, nor was it their first foray into the foster care system. Their mother was sentenced to a three-year prison term and the boys were placed in the care of Mrs. Gunther and her husband, Floyd. She most likely would be released long before the sentence was set to end. "What's going to happen to them when their mother gets out of jail?" Aiden asked. "She will have to petition to get her parental rights reinstated," Phil told him. "Kind of like my father has to do?" "Not really since you are our adopted son. Cole and Davie are foster children, which an entirely different kettle of fish. In the meantime, the Gunthers have grown to love the two little urchins. I think the boys will have a loving home to live in for as long as it is needed." "I'm glad they have Andy Panda and Megrez. They make Cole and Davie happy." "You and Gordy are great kids," Larry said. "What you did helped those two young boys deal with a lot of hurt." "Where's their dad?" "Nobody knows. He's a deadbeat." "Just like my father," Aiden said with an air of sadness. Larry knew even before Aiden that the subject needed to be changed. "Are you excited about tomorrow?" he asked Aiden. "Huh? What?" Aiden appeared to be in a fog. Larry and Phil were surprised as to how quickly he got there. "Orientation, kiddo. Or have you forgotten?" Aiden blinked his eyes a few times, then broke out into a grin. He looked as if the fog had lifted as quickly as it had set in, but neither dad was sure. "Yeah. I can't wait to find out who my teachers will be and who will be in my classes. And I'm excited you're letting me ride my bike there." He could see that his daddy was ready to say something. He knew exactly what it was going to be. "Yes, I know it's a one-time thing, but it's still cool." Sixth grade orientation was scheduled for 9:00. Since there were no issues such as weather, darkness, carrying books and sports gear, and the like, and since there was no school bus to ride, Larry and Phil had told Aiden he could ride his bike to orientation. It made him feel very grown up. The talk ended not long after and Aiden left to get ready for bed. That night he and Horace ended up in the master bedroom, joining Larry and Phil on their king-size bed. After hearing the story of Cole and Davie and thinking about his "deadbeat" father, Aiden felt the need to spend the night with the warmth and love of his dads. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29 Aiden woke up with his dad and went jogging with him. Phil eased up a few times to let Aiden catch up to him. "You need to go with me more often if you expect to keep pace with me," Phil told his son. "What I need is to get longer legs." "Well, there is that, too," Phil chuckled. Kalie called while Aiden was in the shower and he called her back after he dried himself. He thought that talking to her on the phone while he was naked was kind of sexy. Kalie said she was riding her bike to school and wondered if Aiden would be as well. She was surprised that the answer was yes and said she would be at Aiden's house by 8:30. Phil left for work at 7:30. Larry wanted to be at the high school by nine and was still hanging around the house when Aiden left with Kalie at 8:30. Aiden and Kalie didn't have any opportunity to talk except while they waited at the traffic light to cross Highway 12. "We're in the same home room," Kalie said. Their home room assignments had arrived in the mail on Monday. "I know," Aiden replied. "I wonder how many classes we'll have together." "I don't know." Aiden was happy to see the walk light come on and he had Kalie pushed their bikes across the highway. When they arrived at the middle school, they locked their bikes at the bike racks and entered the school through the front entrance as instructed. They were met in the foyer by Ellen, an eighth grade guide, who showed them to the auditorium. Like everyone else, Aiden and Kalie looked for their friends. Kalie saw Donna at about the same time that Aiden saw Gordy and the two split up to sit with their best friends. The idea of Orientation Day was to familiarize the incoming sixth graders with the school and to give them their schedules. The welcoming assembly started at 9:00 sharp. Mr. Donovan, the principal, greeted the new sixth graders, the introduction of "important" people was made, and the students were dismissed to their home room, a room at a time. Aiden, Miles, and Mason were in the same home room. They had gushed over the news when their assignment arrived in Monday's mail. Aiden was disappointed that Gordy had been assigned to a different home room. When the heard "Room 121" announced they left their seats and met with their eighth grade guide, a big kid named Ron Burns. Big meant big. At thirteen, he stood six foot one and he was more than a tall scarecrow. He was a farm boy which had helped him place some solid muscle on his adolescent frame. Ron introduced himself. When it looked like everyone going to Room 121 had arrived, he led them to the room. When they arrived, Ron went into the room and found a seat. He had to work to make himself comfortable. "I bet he has a big one," Mason whispered as he sat with Aiden and Miles. "Mason, you've got a one-track mind," Miles grumped. "You don't mind it when I come over to your house." Miles dropped his right hand below desk level and flipped Mason the bird. Aiden was pleased to learn that Mason was in his Core class, as was Kalie. He was also pleased that Mr. Lawrence, the teacher he would have for the first three periods of the day, appeared to be as good as everybody, including his daddy, had said he was. He projected the image of being strict and commanding while maintaining a friendly tone tinged with moments of humor. Aiden was also with Mason for Science and PE while Miles had Math and PE with him. Kalie was in Art with him. He couldn't wait to find out if Gordy and Muddy were in any of his classes. Mrs. Silverman, their home room teacher, gave out schedules and assigned lockers. "Memorize your combinations, then rip up and throw away your slips. Don't give out your combination to anybody." Mrs. Silverman was a 15-year veteran and knew her charges would be blabbing their combos to friends. Every year somebody ended up being sorry they did so by the time winter break rolled around. She hoped that somebody wouldn't be one of her pupils. When Aiden went to his Core class, he was pleased to see Gordy and Brody there. Core filled three periods of the seven period day with English, Reading, and Social Studies. Gordy and Brody were also in in his Math class, as was Muddy. He was with Mason for Science and Kalie and Donna for art. Muddy, Mason, Miles, and Russell were in Aiden's PE class. Aiden had seen Russell in the auditorium, but not in any of his classes, which made him happy. He was not happy to see him seventh period PE, the last period of the day. Aiden ignored Russell while the class sat in the bleachers getting instructions from Mr. Randall, the PE teacher and boys' basketball coach. Russell ignored Aiden as well. He was certain Aiden was being a stuck up pecker head, while Aiden thought Russell was behaving like butt shuffler. Orientation ended at 10:30. Aiden texted his dad, asking if he could go to Gordy's house. He got the okay within two minutes with the instruction to be home by 4:00. Mason, Miles, Muddy, Kalie, and Donna also went to Gordy's. Gordy's mom hadn't expected so many to come over, but she found a way to have lunch for all of them. As he and his friends scarfed down their lunches Gordy was certain that he had the best mom in Mayfield, if not on the entire planet. THURSDAY, AUGUST 30 "Hah! Game!" Aiden ran to retrieve the ping pong ball he'd just slammed past Larry to give him an 11-9 win. "That would be three wins for me and two for you, so I win the series." "Good job, kiddo. We won't go into how many series' victories I have." "No we won't, because the last one is the one that counts. So there." Aiden set the ball and his paddle on the table, which was in its summer locale, on the pool patio under the deck. "You know I beat you because I played you naked, which made me fast and streamlined." "I would think your junk wiggling around would be slowing you down," Larry laughed. He tousled Aiden's hair as they headed for the pool. Aiden didn't object. Instead he kept up his line of chatter. "I love this all-day naturist thing." "You're a naturist most of the time, anyway," Larry pointed out. "But not for dinner or for breakfast the last two days. The only place I haven't been naked is in most of the yard. But I kicked my soccer ball around behind the house wearing just my shoes. And I sat naked on the dock after dark until I got a little cold. Being a nudist is so fun!" FRIDAY, AUGUST 31 Aiden wished that the back yard wasn't exposed to the lake or that parts of it could also be seen from the road. He, Miles, and Gordy were shooting baskets on the small concrete court in back. The court was hidden from the road, but it could be seen from the lake, so nude shooting was not possible. But, shooting in underpants and tennis shoes was, which was almost as good. "Hey, at least my briefs keep my goods in place," Miles said. "I shoot better if they're not bouncing and flopping around." Miles and Gordy were both good little basketball players. Aiden had shown a lot of growth in the sport by putting in hard work on his court. He also had dribbling drills that he could do in the basement. Playing intramural basketball at school the previous year gave him the experience of playing on a team. Aiden was a good athlete and he learned quickly during the brief intramural season. "You need to turn out for basketball at the middle school," Gordy told Aiden. "I've only played a little," Aiden protested. "Just about as much as everybody else. And you've been good when we've played. Hey, the worst that can happen is that you get cut, right?" Aiden nodded. "Let's go swimming," Miles said. "We can't until daddy comes home." While Aiden had no problem bending rules, there were two sets of rules that were inviolate: the swimming pool rules and the bicycle rules. "He said he'd be home by two" "Then let's go on the patio and play naked ping pong." Before they could move Larry appeared above them on the deck. "Swim time!" Aiden screeched. The boys ran for the door to the pool area. Off came the shoes, off came the underpants, and into the water went three naked boys. The three of them weren't going to don clothes again until the next morning. Mason showed up about a half-hour after dinner. "My mom makes me so mad," he moaned as he stripped naked. Nobody was surprised to see his two-inch nail sticking proudly into the air. "I could have been here all day, but nooooo, I have to stay with Mrs. Dumbutt because my mom already arranged it. So I get to sit around all day reading and watching TV and helping with whatever kind of shit she wanted help with. I didn't even have a minute to play with my cock and I had to wear all my clothes all the time. I mean, my mom couldn't pick up the phone and cancel me going there? You'd think she would have been happy to have me here all day and not have to pay for it." "Aiden, do you want to shut his mouth or do you want me to do it?" Miles asked. Aiden waved his semi-hard cock in Mason's face and soon found it hard and in Mason's mouth. "It's hard to talk people to death when you've got a cock in your mouth," Miles told Gordy, as if he didn't know. That night the four boys slept in the basement. Since Miles and Mason slept together a lot and since Mason had given Aiden a blow job, Mason slept with Gordy and Aiden slept with Miles. Some so-called wise man once said that prepubescent boys have been known to sleep together naked and not get sexual. Turns out that he was wiser than many thought because this was one of those nights. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 The four boys were up and awake by eight-thirty. The smell of cooking bacon no doubt was one of the reasons for that. Miles, Mason, and Gordy all wished Aiden Happy Birthday. Mason gave Aiden eleven kisses on his bare ass. "Way better than getting spankings," Mason grinned. Aiden agreed. They decided to put off showers until after eating. Larry and Phil led the other three boys in singing Happy Birthday to the birthday boy. The two dads each gave Aiden a hug, not caring about his nudity. Rules were relaxed on such an important day. The naked boys wolfed down a breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Gordy, Miles, and Mason helped with the cleanup. Aiden offered to help, but that was nixed by his friends. "It's your birthday so it's against the law for you to work," Miles said. "Go in the rec room and jerk off while we help your dads." Larry and Phil couldn't stop themselves from laughing. "Well, why not?" Miles asked. "He's eleven. That's like just about in puberty and everybody knows what happens then." After Aiden's friends finished helping, they found Aiden on his recliner playing with his hard little cock, just like he was commanded to do. "Damn, Aiden, what if your dads catch you?" "I heard what you said," Aiden grinned. "And it is my birthday. But I wasn't gonna do it all the way unless you guys took forever. Let's go downstairs and shower." Phil entered the masturbation room and noted Aiden's hard cock. "I can't help it...it just got that way," Aiden told his dad with mock innocence as the three boys left the room and went down to the basement to shower. The birthday party guests started to arrive just before noon. Lenny and Lance were the first to arrive. Aiden greeted them at the door and told them they could change downstairs and head for the pool. Trent was the next to come with Muddy showing up a few minutes later. Yonder, Collin, and Jared came within minutes of each other. Kalie and Donna were next. "The token girls," as Phil put it. One other girl was with them, however, and that was Kalie's cousin Gretchen along with Gretchen's brother, Ian. Right after Aiden sent them downstairs, a car pulled up into the driveway that he didn't recognize. But as soon as a boy wearing a baseball hat that partly covered a pile of red hair got out, he knew who it was. "Keith!" Aiden called out as the Kentburg boy walked up the steps to the front door. "I thought you weren't going to be able to come." Keith surprised Aiden by giving him a hug. "I thought so too, but plans changed. Happy Birthday, Mayfield sucker." "Thanks, Kentburg sucker." Keith was already wearing his board shorts. He had a change of clothes in his backpack. Aiden was about to escort him downstairs when another car pulled into the driveway—it was Nolan. Larry saw the conflict that Aiden had about which way to turn. He helped his son solve it by leading Keith downstairs. Aiden ran down to the driveway and gave Nolan a big hug as soon as his friend planted his feet on the concrete. He wanted to plant a kiss on his lips, as well, but was afraid of incurring the wrath of Judge Moyer, Nolan's father. Nolan retrieved his backpack from the backseat and started to the house with Aiden. He was surprised when his father turned off the car's engine and followed them up to the house. "Are you going to spy on me for mom?" Nolan asked. "Calm down, son. I'll be out of your hair quickly. I just want to talk over a couple of things with Larry and Phil while we have the time and opportunity." "Now you're sounding like a lawyer." "Or maybe more like a judge," Paul laughed. "Remember, it keeps food on the table." When they got into the house, Aiden said that Nolan could change into his swimming shorts in the basement. Nolan asked if he could change in Aiden's bedroom. "I have something to tell you," he said excitedly, "and I want to tell you in private." Aiden wondered what Nolan's big secret could be as they bounded up the stairs to Aiden's bedroom. As soon as they entered the room, Aiden closed the door. The two boys stood a couple of feet apart stared at each other, taking in every detail as if not taking their eyes off of each other would make up all of the time since they last seen each other. Nolan moved first, stepping toward Aiden and planting a kiss on his friend's lips. Aiden wrapped his arms around Nolan as the two tweens kissed hard, their tongues pushing together. "Happy Birthday, Aiden," Nolan whispered as they came up for air. "What's the big secret?" Aiden asked hoarsely. He looked up at Nolan wondering how he ended up in the same room as the most beautiful boy in the world on his birthday. Aiden let go of Nolan and sat on his bed, waiting for the answer. Nolan pulled off his shirt, giving Aiden a chill as he displayed his athletic chest. He was getting some muscle definition along with the beginnings of a six-pack. He yanked off his shorts and boxers. Without a word he had stripped naked in front of his friend. "I better get in my swim shorts in case our dads yell at us to come downstairs." Aiden nodded. He liked Nolan's good thinking, but the sight of the raw, naked beauty in front of him left him speechless. He wanted to pull off his board shorts and give Nolan a naked hug and a French kiss. Instead he sat motionless, looking into Nolan's crack, seeing the star of his anus as Nolan reached into his backpack and pulled out his swimming suit. It was the suit he wore when he went for swimming lessons—not quite a Speedo, but much more revealing of Nolan's lanky legs than board shorts would be. Aiden was overwhelmed with feelings he didn't understand. What he felt for Nolan was so different from what he felt for Miles, or Mason, or Lance, or Lenny, or even his best friend Gordy. He would have taken Nolan being able to spend the coming night sleeping with him as his only birthday present, which sounded so dumb to him he couldn't believe he thought it and so right to him he wondered why it seemed dumb. Confusion reigned in Aiden's young adolescent mind keeping him from coming up with comprehensible thoughts. He broke his momentary brain lock by asking Nolan once again what his secret was. And then he thought that Nolan looked just as good in his blue swimming trunks as he had naked, maybe better. Nolan sat on the bed next to Aiden. "You're coming to my birthday party, right?" Nolan's birthday was October 29. "Well, yeah. We're best friends. You don't know how much I want to be there." "Yes, I do. You want to be at my birthday party as bad as I wanted to be here at yours." "I just wish you could spend the night." "I can't and it sucks, but now it's time for my big news. I've got this all planned out. My party is going to be on Saturday and somebody I really like a lot is going to be invited to spend Friday night before the party." "Who?" Nolan placed his right hand on Aiden's left shoulder. "You, doofus." Aiden yanked his head hard to his left. "For real? Your mom agreed we can have an overnight? I mean, like totally for real?" "So for real it makes me want to dance. I've known for a few days but I wanted to tell you at your Birthday party to make it a Birthday present." Aiden planted a long, wet kiss on Nolan's right cheek. "And there's more. My dad said we can go to a movie together that night and go to dinner together. It will be like a big celebration for my birthday and for my getting my first overnight." It sounds almost like a date, Aiden wanted to say. Because he was afraid it would be the wrong thing to say, he said nothing. Going out to celebrate Nolan's birthday and his first overnight was what two best friends did, but going out on a date sounded gay. Once again, confusion roiled around Aiden's brain. "I'm so excited about doing this I almost can't stand it," Nolan said. "Me too. I don't know if I can wait—I mean it's two months away." "Aiden, are you going to come down and be with your guests," Larry yelled out. The moment was gone. For Aiden everything suddenly felt normal. But not so normal that Aiden and Nolan couldn't share a quick kiss before going downstairs for the party. Aiden's birthday party was all he dreamed it would be. His friends were there, the weather was sunny and upper seventies, games were played, hamburgers and all that went with them were eaten with gusto, Happy Birthday was sung, candles were blown out and cake and ice cream was consumed. There was even a wee bit of sexual action in the back room of the basement. Of course, Mason was involved in two of the episodes, showing Keith what an expert blow job was about and giving Ian a reprise of the first time he sucked him. Trent and Muddy, who arrived late, got naked to compare the growth of their pubic hair and jerked off to compare the output of their testicles. The last bit of sex play involved Gordy and Kalie. They made out on the old couch for about fifteen minutes. Gordy removed Kalie's bikini top so they would be equal before they got to work kissing and feeling each other up. The fun was interrupted by Gretchen and Donna coming into the back room. The interruption came a couple of minutes after Gordy creamed his swim trunks as well as Kalie's hand as she jerked him to orgasm, but before Gordy could reciprocate. "When are you going to make me cum?" Kalie asked. "I can try now, I guess." Gordy had just dropped from his sexual high. What he really wanted to do was go back to the pool. When Gretchen and Donna entered the room they saw Gordy rubbing Kalie's pussy though her bikini bottom. "Ohhh, look at what Gordy's doing to my cousin," Gretchen squealed. "I wish he'd do that to me." "You are all nasty," Donna said. "I think I'm going swimming," Gordy said. Between his down moment and suddenly being surrounded by girls, he felt very uncomfortable. He pulled his hand away from Kalie's crotch, straightened his swimming trunks, hoping Gretchen and Donna wouldn't see the wet spot in them, and left the room. Since Gordy's trunks were damp, the girls didn't see anything. They did have to listen to Kalie tell them how mad she was at being interrupted. She didn't tell them about what she'd done to Gordy, however. Aiden had specified no presents or money on his invitations and that was honored. He did get one very special present—the invitation to spend the night with Nolan in two months. Aiden thought it didn't get any better than that. He got the usual quota of clothes from his dads. That wasn't a surprise since he helped pick everything out. He received a scarf from his Grandmother Jennifer. She knit it in the Mayfield Mustang blue and white. The big present was a FIFA video soccer game. Aiden knew that it was going to get a lot of use, especially since his best friends all knew that he had it. When Nolan's dad picked Nolan up at the end of the party, Nolan got Aiden to promise to bring his game. "Just in case, I don't get my own for my birthday," he said. Aiden cuddled up with Horace on his birthday. He thought it was his best birthday ever. At times he was still amazed as to how many good friends he had. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 After Larry, Phil, and Aiden finished with eating breakfast and cleaning up, they rode to Centralia in the Honda Accord to catch the 10:02 train to Seattle. The train's scheduled arrival time in Seattle was 11:50 with the Mariner game slated to start at 1:10. The train arrived at King Station in Seattle on time. Troy was there to guide the three to the nearby parking garage where he was parked. They locked their suitcases in the trunk of Sue's Subaru, which was parked next to the SUV, and walked to Safeco Field to meet the rest of the family. Safeco was less than a mile walk from King Street Station. The trains coming from the south passed right under the stadium roof when it was in the open position. With the day being sunny and warm, the roof was in the open position. Their seats were in the Terrace Club, which was what the second deck area was called, four rows up from third base. Aiden had packed his scorebook, pencils, camera, radio, and headphones into his backpack. He had Baseballreference.com set to go on his phone if he needed stats. He was totally prepared to enjoy the game to the fullest. Logan sat next to him eager to get lessons from his older cousin. Aiden showed him what to do and Logan scored the bottom half of the sixth and the top of the seventh. Chase wasn't interested in keeping score. He enjoyed watching his brother and cousin do it and was more than willing to give his unsolicited opinions on what they should be entering into the book. Aiden also met Dillon, who was attending his first Mariner game. Dillon had not been much of a sports fan, but as he hung around with Chase (which seemed to be almost all of the time) the more interesting he found the sports world—baseball in particular. His geeky mind was fascinated with the methods used to score a baseball game. He watched Aiden and Logan and asked tons of questions, which got him some friendly pokes from Chase. When Aiden showed Dillon Baseballreference.com, Dillon was instantly on his way to becoming a baseball stat head. Keeping Aiden's scorebook in the top of the sixth was the highlight of the game for him. Aiden had a great time on his after-birthday day. There were menus at the seats and they could order from their seat and have their food delivered. Aiden's Mariner dog (covered with mustard and chopped onions) was great and the lemonade was cold. He taught Logan and Dillon how to keep score and was able to use the time one of them kept the scorebook to take pictures. To top it off, the Mariners won 4-2 to stay in second place two games behind the Angels. After the game they went out for pizza. Aiden also received a couple more birthday presents when they got to Chase's house. The kids and the adults played games until the boys decided to get ready for bed. The four boys slept in the basement recreation room. Sleeping bags were laid out and clothes came off. Other than in the school showers, Dillon had never been naked with anyone except Chase, Logan, and Logan's friend Royce. He rarely showered at school since they were optional and on many days there wasn't enough time to shower. Dillon thought that Aiden was a beautiful boy, although not as beautiful as Chase. All four boys had erections and the subject of their conversation was what they planned to do about them. Aiden ended the talk by placing Chase's five inches into his mouth. Damn, he thought to himself as he sucked and licked his cousin's glans, I'm behaving just like Mason—just dive on a cock with my mouth. Chase was pleasantly surprised by Aiden's assertiveness. At first Logan and Dillon weren't sure what to do. While they had jerked off together with Chase and once with Royce and Chase, they had never touched each other. That changed when Dillon went down on Logan's little cock. At first he was afraid that Chase would yell at him for molesting his little brother, but he knew that Logan and Chase gave each other blow jobs, so he probably wouldn't care. He could tell right away that Logan liked it. Sucking Logan's little hairless pecker, which was half as long as Chase's big thing with its wisps of hair, was a whole new experience. Dillon liked sucking it as much as Logan enjoyed getting sucked. Aiden tried deep throating a cock for the first time. It was something he'd heard about and read about online, but he hadn't seriously attempted it with his friends. Trent or Muddy were the ones who were big enough to make it a challenge. He gagged as he tried to get Chase's teen cock into his throat and wished he'd practiced on his friends first. Aiden's experiment didn't last long, but Chase complimented him for trying. Hatcher had been the only boy who'd been able to deep throat his cock and Hatcher was now out of his life. Chase had the first orgasm, filling Aiden's mouth with his watery young cum. Dillon was next—he'd been masturbating furiously as he sucked Logan's cocklet. Seconds after Dillon shot his watery load onto his sleeping bag, Logan had a dry cum. "Looks like Aiden is the only one left. Who wants him?" Chase asked. Logan and Dillon told Chase he could finish him off, although Logan wanted to do his cousin badly. It didn't take Aiden much longer to have a dry cum; he'd been pretty worked up from giving Chase his blow job and watching Dillon suck off Logan next to him. Dillon and Logan each went into his own sleeping bag, but Aiden and Chase slept together in the nude. There had always been a special bond between the two cousins. The lights went off. Aiden snuggled up next to his older cousin. "I want to take your cherry someday," Chase whispered as his right index finger rubbed along Aiden's crack. "Just you and me for your first time, nobody watching or even knowing—not even Logan." "Sorry, but it won't happen," Aiden whispered back. "What, you're never going to try fucking?" "I dunno. I used to not want to ever do it. Now I kind of wonder if maybe I'll do it sometime. I mean, what you're doing feels good, and when anybody rubs me back on my hole it feels good." Chase's finger pushed against Aiden's grommet. "Does that feel good?" "Yeah, real good." "So, someday I can show you how to make it feel better." "You sound like Sammy did. I guess if I ever do it, I'll let you do me. But you won't be the first." "Fair enough. I just want you since you're my favorite cousin. So, who gets to be first?" "I can't tell you. But if I ever do it, I know it's going to be him." "Will I ever find out who it is?" "When he does it, it's going to be because he's my boyfriend, so I guess you'll know who it is." Chase pushed his finger into Aiden's ass. "My cousin Aiden, the mystery boy." "Feels good," Aiden whispered sleepily. Chase pulled his finger out. "Next time we're all alone I'll do it more. It will get you ready for your unknown boyfriend. And I promise not to ask you about fucking or anything. Just finger you and maybe rub my dick on your ass. Just you and me." "Yeah." "But, you gotta promise me one thing." "What?" "That I can fuck...no...that I can make love to you after you've done the nasty with the mystery boy." Aiden wrapped his arm around the teen's muscular shoulder. "I promise," he whispered just before falling asleep. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 Labor Day was busy beyond busy. Aiden and Logan went up to the bedrooms for the first shower. Aiden liked being naked and showering with his younger cousin. He loved Chase and Chase was special to him, but for Aiden, what he said about Chase being like Sammy was true. Sometimes he was too much into sex. Logan, on the other hand, reminded Aiden of himself. He liked messing around, he liked sex stuff, but he didn't have to have it all the time. In other words, Aiden could just shower with Logan and think his cousin's naked body was sexy, but that didn't mean he'd have to get off with him. Aiden was sneaking into puberty, but so far his sex drive usually matched his younger ten-year-old cousin more than his older thirteen-year-old cousin. Chase and Dillon were standing naked in the bathroom, ready to shower, when Aiden and Logan finished. Aiden wondered if they were going to mess around, but their shower was even shorter than the one he and Logan had taken, which he took to be a no answer to his mental question. After breakfast, Royce and his father arrived. They would be going to the ballgame with the Millers. Since it wasn't even ten o'clock, yet, and the game started at 1:15, they came to pick up Logan, who would go to the game with them. They would meet up in their Terrace Club seats which were five rows up just to the third base side of home plate. Phil parked the SUV in a parking garage and Sue headed to Safeco Field with Chase and Dillon. Larry, Phil, Troy, and Aiden went to King Street Station. They checked the estimated arrival time of Cascades 517 from Vancouver BC on the arrivals board. It was scheduled to arrive at 11:00 and was due at 11:15. Aiden jumped with glee when he saw Darnell Carr enter the station with his father, Tyson. They had boarded the train in Bellingham and were part of the big group. Aiden and Darnell babbled together during the entire walk to Safeco field, while Larry, Phil, and Troy chatted with their old boyhood friend. "Thanks for the Happy Birthday email," Aiden said to Darnell. "I liked all of the icons and emojis and stuff." "I wish I could have come down for your party, but you have to be twelve to ride the train alone." Darnell caught Aiden up on his love life. "My friend Conrad and me suck each other every chance we get. We had an overnight on Friday and he tried to stick his wienie in my butt." "For real? You let him?" "Well, I was going to let him, but he couldn't get it in. It hurt me too much. He said we're going to have to learn more about it before we can do it." "What about his big brother? Couldn't he tell you guys?" "He lets us give him blow jobs and returns some of them, but he says fucking is what a boy does to a girl. So, we need to figure out something else. "That's what the internet is for," Aiden giggled. "I've kind of got a new friend, too. My dad has a new boyfriend who has a nine-year-old son. He's pretty cool and a really good soccer player. He's like Asian and black mixed and is really cute. I wouldn't mind messing around with him, but so far we don't know each other good enough. But I think we're getting to be good friends. His name is William, but he says it's okay if I call him Bill." Tyson caught his old friends up on his love life. "This bisexual business is crap," he told them. "I don't mind dating one or the other, but the hell if I could figure out who I want a long-term relationship with. Then somebody gave me the answer." "You mean you've got something big going?" Troy asked. "I do for now. He teaches math and is the head football coach at Mt. Shuksan High School. He's Korean and African American mix. He's a great guy. And Darnell and his son William, who is nine, seem to get along really well. Anyway, we've been dating some and our two families have started doing things together. Don't know if it will go anywhere, but we've been talking about what he might want to do." The group reached Safeco and headed for the left field gate. Troy had the tickets and they all went in. The kids got Cameron Michaels t-shirts. Michaels played left field for the Mariners and had led the team in hitting the year before. Royce joined the scorekeeping group after watching and learning how it was done. Logan scored the top of the third and the bottom of the sixth, Dillon did the bottom of the fourth, Darnell did the top of the fifth and Royce did the bottom of the fifth. Darnell already knew how to keep a scorebook, although not as well as Aiden. It was another great day for Aiden. Food, baseball, scoring, baseball, friends, fun, baseball, food, baseball, photographing, baseball, all topped by another Mariner win—this one 7-3 with Michaels making his young fans happy by hitting his 32nd home run of the season. After the game the group went to the waterfront and ate at the Crab Pot. After eating, Royce and his dad left for home. Everyone else went to the SUV, where Phil, Larry, and Aiden retrieved their overnight bags after which they all walked to King Street Station. Aiden and his dads would be riding the 507, which left at 6:10, back to Centralia. Tyson and Darnell would be riding the 518 up to Bellingham. It was scheduled to depart at 6:40 and was a through train originating in Portland. That night, after Larry read to him, kissed him on the forehead, and left the room, Aiden looked up at the dark ceiling. He tried to imagine a more perfect birthday weekend, but he couldn't do it. It consisted of tons of friends, overnights, train rides, baseball, time with his amazing dads, an invitation to spend the night with Nolan, and now some quiet time with Horace, who was planted between Aiden and the wall. The only negative that he could see was that school started on Wednesday, but even that didn't keep him from falling asleep with a smile in his heart. Next: Middle School
