Jimmy made a plea for help to his friend. Finny responded and as the chapter ended, Jimmy sees there is a way forward. C-2 shows the boys making their way to the light. Why was Finny here, in bed with me. Hadn't I planned to take my mom's Xanax, all fourteen of them. I knew I took some, how many I could not remember. I remembered my hallucinations. The ones of Finny joining me and him crying and telling me I would be okay. He was right. I would be okay. My plan was wrong. I should have talked to Finny instead of seeking my plan. Gawd how stupid had I been? Now I needed Finny to forgive me for two stupid actions instead of one. Right now, I needed water to kill the cotton stuffing my mouth. "What are you doing?" Finny looked at me as I stared at the pill bottle. How had I been so damn stupid. "I really took some?" "Yeah buzzkill. You did. I am so thankful you PM'd me. You try something stupid like that again, I'll kill you myself. He smiled to let me know he was both joking, yet serious. Finny moved with his football speed and stood at my side. His soft arm was around my neck. His lips were on mine. He kissed me. He was crying. "Jimmy, without you I have no life. You are my best friend. What happened can be repaired." "But I did a horrible thing to you. I sided with Tommy and Cullough. I used to be your friend. I don't deserve your friendship, your love." I want to soar with you forever, Jimmy. We can live among the stars." I pulled back and looked at Finny. Then I chuckled. "Live among the stars. Where did your brain come up with that squirrely line. I did not know you were such a romantic." He chuckled right back. "I am not. I like science fiction. That's the star reference." We collapsed on the bed laughing in each other's arms. The laughing turned to kissing and then an intense make out session. Both of us had wet briefs when we finished. After we finished. I led Finny to the shower where we shared body washing duties. When we finished and were dry, we lay on the bed facing each other. Neither of us wore anything. I lost my heart looking into his steel blue eyes so lost in love. I looked where Finny's pubes had been. "Why are you not pissed?" "I was for a while. I'm over it. Tommy and Cullough are the ones I blame. We all have a weakness. You let yours take over that night. Three plus years of intense friendship should not be thrown away because of two jerks." I stroked Finny's bicep unsure of what to say. I knew I did not deserve what he was giving me. I wanted to even things up. "Will you shave me, like you were shaved.?" Finny smiled and told me he would be glad to do it. We reentered the shower. His smile was so cute as he shaved me telling me to get my boner out of his face. I was as smooth as he was when he finished. After a rinse down, we again climbed into bed. Our smooth skin felt so erotic we soon fell into a deep passion and came as we ground against each other. We were tired. We neither cleaned ourselves nor dressed. Finny pulled the cover over us and we fell asleep in a lover's embrace with our cum covered torsos mashed together. I kissed Finny when I woke. He kissed me back. We both had morning boners. Finny's looked beautiful I went down on him. After he returned my love, we sighed. "We need to get ready for school." I asked Finny what day it was. He told me Monday. We had to shower, dress, and catch the bus. We made it on time. During the half-hour ride, I asked Finny what we would do about football. "Coach wants us back. He told me to tell you we are not allowed to quit. We were to get our asses on the field in practice uniforms after school today or he would put our dicks in a wringer. His words, not mine." "What's a wringer?" "Doesn't sound like fun, does it?" We giggled the rest of the way to school. Every time I put my right index finger in my left fist and pumped imitating what I imagined a wringer to be, we giggled harder. We were still giggling as we entered first hour. Finny told the girl who was in his seat to go back to her old seat. We giggled and she glared. The teacher threatened to send us to the office if we did not stop giggling. That stopped us until the end of class. I only had to point my right index finger at him for both of us to start to once again giggle. Our behavior went like that the rest of the day. Students looked at us as if we had gone insane. That made us giggle more. The giggling came to a screeching halt when the coach saw us. He called us into his office. He did not ask us why we quit. He laid out our punishment. Twenty laps on the track after practice at a fast jog for the rest of the week. Our giggles were swallowed and we entered the lockers. Our friends slapped our backs and thanked us for returning. We high fived them. The only ones who looked pissed were Cullough and Tommy. I rubbed my middle finger along the side of my nose. Then grabbed my crotch putting them on notice that trouble was on the way. Caleb, a back up quarterback, asked Finny why he had quit. Finny told him he had personal issues. Other players asked and wanted details. I told Finny we should tell them after practice. We did. I got on a bench and told the team about my role in the horrible thing the Tommy and Cullough instigated. Yeah, I brought them into the story. I was to blame and so were they. Finny climbed on the bench, put his arm over my shoulder and let the team know that he was still my friend. Then he did something I never expected but which I was at peace with his doing. He kissed my cheek and told the team that he loved me, "That way." I blushed and tried to say that I loved Finny "That way" also. There were too many boys whooping and dancing and carrying on for them to hear me. They made so much noise showing support that coach came out to tell us to "Knock it off." Then his eyes lit on Finny and me. "Did you two forget about the twenty laps you were to do? Get moving before I decide to make it thirty." He did not have to tell us twice. I flew out the door followed closely by Finny. We giggled all around the track until breathing from our exercise caused both of us to calm and concentrate on our task. After, as we hung our heads with our hands on our knees, I asked Finny what we should do with his tormentors. He chuckled in between gasps. "One of the three I want to love forever." I swatted his arm. "Jerk. I'd kiss you for that if I could get these hands off my knees." "Oh. You mean the other two jerks. Nothing." "Nothing?" I felt confused. Why would Finny not want revenge? We straightened and began a slow trek to the gym doors. "Jimmy, I could try for revenge. That would satisfy a primal instinct but would be short lived. My hairs will grow back, though I kind of like that we are shaved. Kinda hot, isn't it? About them making me sperm. That was sick on their part and my brain did not want that, my body did. My brain did not give consent. My body did not get the message. Why not ignore them. They will be left wondering when I am going to get even. When we ignore them, we mess with their minds. That will be their punishment." I wondered how I was so lucky to deserve such a wise boyfriend. "You want to get married?" I meant that as a way of saying to Finny that I wanted to be like him, the way he had such insight. "Someday, Jimmy. When we are older, ask me that again. I will not leave you wondering. The answer will be a big, "Yes." I was lost in wonder as we reentered the locker room and stripped off our uniforms. I looked at Finny as we showered. He was beautiful. His body was so beautiful and now I knew his mind was just as beautiful. I had to keep asking myself how I had been so lucky to find this cute red-headed boy to love me like he did. Exiting the showers, we found Caleb and Bo, one of the linemen sitting by our lockers. I gulped realizing I had not put the towel around my waist. I put my hand over my junk. "Don't bother. We saw it all. Nice shave job by the way." Caleb looked my body up and down. "All over too," he snarked. Then seeing Finny had no hair either, Caleb continued. "Maybe the two of you could model that look for the team. Might be the start of a trend." I took my unused towel and gave him a playful swat. "Guys." This was Bo. "We are here to tell you that whatever you want to do to those two, we will help you with doing it. They deserve a good whooping for what they did. We can get them in the woods out back and I can think of lots of nasty stuff to do to humiliate them. I saw Finny step between our teammates. At least he had his towel around his waist as he did this. "Guys. Leave them alone. Nobody does nothing. No retaliation. Thanks for the offer. Revenge brings retaliation and the cycle continues. I am the one wronged. I say no revenge. Remember the saying, Love your enemies. It will drive them crazy. Treat Tommy and Cullough as always." I think Finny's counsel made Caleb and Bo think. Then they hugged Finny and left. I could only stare at Finny in what had to be awe. "Are you sure you are only a ninth grader? Did you live a past life and get reincarnated?" Finny slapped my bare butt cheek. "Get dressed. I want to take you to my house and have my way with that beautiful body you are putting on display right now. Keep that up and I will not be responsible for what I do right here on the locker room floor." I was witness to how the team treated Tommy and Cullough over the next week. Bo and Caleb must have given them Finny's message. The two were not treated mean or anything. They were not treated. I mean, the guys only spoke to them as was necessary. No one hurt them, but no one helped them. The coach noticed and asked me what was going on. I shrugged. I saw him talking to Caleb on the sidelines. Theirs was a long conversation. When they finished, Caleb put on his helmet and rejoined practice. The coach looked at the ground for a long time. Two games went by. We won one and lost one. I saw Tommy and Cullough's playing deteriorate. They were new to our school and had hoped to make friends with other football players. Now no one engaged them unless necessary. One Friday we had no game, a rarity. The coach let us go early. Finny and I were long past our running punishment. I walked to the lockers lost in thoughts of what I had planned to do with Finny when we got home. "Guys, wait. Please wait." I turned to see Tommy and Cullough trotting towards us. I placed myself in front of Finny. I would not permit him to ever be assaulted. Never again. The two stopped about four paces in front of us, their helmets dangling at their sides, their faces masks of dejection. "Guys. Gawd, this is so hard. You have every right to be pissed. We deserve the worst you could do to us. We were so bad. There is no excuse for what we did. We have no explanation that justifies what we did to you Finny or encouraged you to do Jimmy. We know you and the team do not care for us. We just want you both to know how sorry we are that we did that. We are so sorry. Thanks for listening. We won't bother you again. We are going to tell coach we are quitting so you won't have to see us around." Tommy finished. Cullough spoke. "What Tommy said goes for me too. You two are so nice. I wish we had been like you." I saw their eye were wet. I saw Tommy swipe at his as they stepped to avoid our personal space and head towards the lockers. I saw Finny look after them; then I heard him say. "Tommy, Cullough, wait." They stopped and turned. "What you did hurt. But look at Jimmy and me. We are still friends. More, he is my forever boyfriend. In a way we have you to blame." Finny chuckled at his non sequitur. "You brought us closer. What you meant for evil had the opposite effect. I forgive you. Maybe someday I might even like you." He chuckled at that. "Let's put an end to this animosity and shake. Oh, and don't quit. Not unless you like to run laps after practice. Coach will not allow you to quit. Say you are quitting and coach will threaten your private bits with a horrible fate. From what I've seen, neither of you can afford any loss in that area." Finny laughed. We shook and together walked to the lockers. >acgib1943@protonmail.com> I had suggestions as to where C-2 should go. I let Finny and Jimmy show me their path. "Out of darkness light." I think the next chapter needs to include Tommy and Cullough at some level, Caleb too. Jimmy needs to explore his love for Finny as a HS student or maybe jump to college. I do not know.
