Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2021 22:03:00 +0100 From: Andrew Passey Subject: Andromeda Three Part Fourteen (Young Friends) (Science Fiction) The rescue happened surprisingly quickly and less than two hours later we found ourselves leaving the atmosphere of the planet for hopefully the last time. Our pod was now in the large cargo bay of the rescue ship. We'd left the pod and were being escorted to some guest quarters where we could shower and relax until we arrived back on Andromeda Three. Our pod was being checked over by the engineers. Assuming all was fine with it then it would be docked back with Andromeda Three as we got close to it. "Dad!" Dix shouted as the door to our quarters opened and we saw him standing there. He rushed over and gave Dix a big hug and then me. "My boys!" He said, looking tearful. "We were so worried about you. Mum couldn't come as she is busy working on the drive, some minor damage after the accident. She wanted to be here but we can't risk both of us being away. All things considered, you look well. Tell me all about what happened!" So Dix and I told Dad about the planet and how we survived down there. We skipped over all of the sex and kissing and that sort of thing. We were both still processing "Well what an experience you've had! The first humans to lay a foot on that planet. You boys seem different though, something has changed." "We had to survive using our wits and we've been through a lot so I guess we probably have changed a bit," Dix said innocently. Dad shook his head slightly, "There is something else. Hmm not quite sure what but it'll come to me I guess. Right I'll leave you boys to get showered and cleaned. Ping me a message on comms when you're done." Dad left and we sighed a massive sigh of relief at being rescued. Dix wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on the lips. "Well....the adventure is almost over." He said. I smiled, "ONE adventure is almost over. A new one is just beginning. Our life together." "Things will be different though. Once we're back on Andromeda Three we'll have school, parents in the room next door, all the usual distractions. We won't be able to fuck each other's brains out 24/7 like we have done over the last two weeks." "True, but we'll make it work," I said smiling reassuringly. I knew Dix was right, things were going to be different and they would no doubt be a challenge at times. However we'd done so much so quickly on the planet that I wasn't going to be giving up our sex life whatever anyone might say. Dix still had his arms around me and he looked at me with a cheeky grin, "So...earlier we got interrupted before you had time to fuck me. We've got a shower, we've got time and we've got a bed. I need your cock inside me!" I smiled back at Dix "Sounds good to me!" We kissed and started to unzip each other's suits, fully expecting to take advantage of the time alone we had. However at that moment with our tongues entwined and our suits around our ankles with our hands in each other's pants the door unexpectedly opened... "Oh I know wha.....oops sorry!" We broke apart as we heard those words. "Dad! Privacy please!" Dix said sharply which was surprisingly brave of him. I just stood there in shock, shitting myself at being discovered in this state while Dix just wanted time to finish what we started "Sorry boys! I should have knocked. I came back to say I'd worked out what's changed between you. You're in love. But clearly you know that and more!" The realisation that we'd been caught then hit Dix as well as me and we both blushed bright red. "Um...." "I'll leave you to it. Let's talk with Mum when we're back onboard. Just take it ..easy. I know teenage boys are in a rush to do everything but there's no need to rush into a sex life......although from where your hands were it looks like it might be too late? I guess when you thought you might die you went all in? I can't blame you and once that horse has bolted it can't be put back in." "I'm not sure that's the metaphor Dad!" Dix said before he shooed him out there. "Now...where were we?" Dix slipped his hand into my pants again as he had done before we got discovered. I was a bit nervous after being discovered but Dix took control and led me to the bed. Once I was buried inside him again all was forgotten. I suppose there was a chance that when we got onboard our sex lives would be totally curtailed so while we still had the chance we definitely took advantage of it! Later that evening when we were back onboard on Andromeda Three and reunited with Mum. We sat down for a family meal and told her all about our time on the planet. There was no point in not telling her about us as I knew she'd find out as soon as Dad had the chance to tell her. "So there was no sign of life or anything down there?" She asked us after we'd told her about the storms. "No just a barren lifeless rock carved up by those high winds. We did discover something very interesting down there though," Dix said. "Oh what was that?" Mum asked before Dix's reply caused me to choke on my water. "Each other's bodies! We learned EVERYTHING we could about those. As well as that we're both madly in love with each other." Mum then clapped in delight and to my embarrassment insisted on us standing us and letting her give us a big hug each. "I'm so pleased for you both. I suspected you were falling in love for weeks! Obviously I knew that Dix liked boys even if he thought I didn't know and what nicer handsome boy is there than you Starboy.!" I breathed a sigh of relief,"You and Dad aren't angry?" I asked even though I knew the answer. "Why would we be angry!?" Mum said as if the suggestion was the most outrageous thing ever. "Because you two have fallen in love? Love is the most powerful emotion in the universe, it transcends time and space. We're delighted you've both found someone to love. It won't be easy though. You're not even 14 years old yet and you're going to be living together and sharing a room. You'll be going all the way through puberty together and dealing with mood swings at the best of times is hard for a teenager let alone when you're in a relationship. You've been through an intense experience together which will have brought you even closer. But you're also in the honeymoon period when everything is amazing. Just give each other time to grow and adjust to things." We both smiled at each other and I felt very grateful that Jess and James who I now thought of as my parents were so understanding. "Oh one thing though boys," Dad said looking serious. We looked at him quizzically. "Please don't use our room for sex again. You've got your own room for that!" We both blushed and realised we maybe hadn't cleaned it up quite as well as we'd intended to. Or maybe it just needed a bit of airing! Something you didn't really get in space. Then I thought it was maybe just them both saying they understood we were sexually active and they weren't going to try and stop us. But that we needed to limit it to our room which was totally fair enough. We'd just have to make sure the cleaning vent got a lot of use! Dix then looked as if a thought had just come to him, "I know you're fine with it but before we left there was all this stuff in the orientation videos about us being the great hope of the colony and that we'd be fathering loads of children. Clearly us being a couple causes a problem for that." Dad shrugged, "That's just their marketing spiel. Some teenage kids were reluctant to come along, kids like you Dix. But they thought if they basically said "don't worry you'll get to have lots of sex in the future that would clinch it!" "Well having lots of sex has certainly made me enjoy this mission more!" Dix said with a giggle causing me to blush bright red. Mum rolled her eyes as if to say "boys!" while Dad just laughed before wanting to definitively put our minds at rest. "Anyway boys, there's enough people onboard to easily grow any new colony but we wouldn't be stupid enough to just leave it to nature. We'll be able to grow babies in tanks using eggs and sperm donated as well as the usual methods. So you boys may end up fathers after all. Either way you aren't jeopardising the mission. There are loads of gay, bisexual, non binary, every flavour you can think of sexuality wise onboard. It's just part of life. Whether we find colonies already set up by Andromeda One or Two or we set our own up, we're never dependent on making boys who love each other go off and partner with someone else." "Your father is right. Also, I just wanted to say how proud we are of you both. Proud that you've been honest with yourselves and each other about being in love. Proud of the young men you're growing into. Proud of what you had to go through, being the first people on this mission to visit a planet and survive! Don't forget what a huge achievement that is. I suspect you'll get a hero's welcome at school tomorrow." "We're proud too Mum. Out and proud!" Dix said before leaning forward to kiss me on the lips. He then pulled back and wrinkled his nose, "School tomorrow?!". "Of course, back to normality as soon as possible. It'll be good for you both. Now, who would like some dessert?" Mum asked, causing us both to groan about going back to school. That night we made love onboard Andromeda Three for the first time, but definitely not the last. It certainly wasn't the last time we had sex together in that room. As the months flew by our love deepened and we couldn't be happier. Our journey was almost over. Soon we would be arriving in a new galaxy, thousands of light years away from where my journey began. Well the journey I knew about. Unsurprisingly I was no closer to finding out what happened before I arrived on Earth. Mum and Dad were talking of trying to bring back my memories once things were settled down I'd always been desperate to know the truth of who I was but I didn't know if I wanted to know anymore. My life was pretty much perfect now. Two adopted parents that loved me. The funniest sexiest boyfriend anyone could ever have. A full and experimental sex life. Someone to hold close at night. I was surrounded by love. Did I really want to discover something that might change everything for me? For as long as I remember I'd also wanted to discover the stars. Explore strange new worlds. Well I'd done that and now I was on the verge of discovering a new galaxy filled with more uncountable worlds to explore. But what I'd actually found was even more amazing than that. I'd found true love amongst the stars. A love that began in one galaxy and would continue into the next. Another chapter in my life had ended and a new one was about to begin. One with my new family but most importantly one with Dix. The excitement on board grew as we got closer to our destination. Then it happened. One weekend morning we were in bed with my legs around Dix's shoulders as he fucked me for well over the hundredth time. Then just as he came in me with a groan of release, the ship shuddered. "Wow, I really made the Earth move!" Dix said with a giggle. Then our comms bracelets buzzed. "Boys! We've just dropped out of interstellar travel. We're here. Get yourself up and dressed!" Mum's voice blared out through the room. We looked at each other with excited grins. We'd made it. After many months we had finally arrived in our new galaxy. Thanks for all the feedback. I had great fun writing it and I hope to pick the story up again at some point in the future.
