I was re-reading the first two chapters when I realized that my inability to math struck me again. There is only 10 months between Ben and Dix so, with Ben turning 13 in 2051, it would mean Dix will be turning 14, not 15 on his birthday. Most people probably couldn't care less, but my OCD leads me to fret about such nonsense. -L
Chapter Three
October turned out to be a month of changes in almost every way. Carter was getting married and moving into his own place. Thanks to Dixon's intervention, Sandra and Jamie were now a thing. Of course, there was the fact that Bennett and Dixon weren't fighting all the time anymore. Then, there were sad changes too; sad for Ben anyway – October was the month that Micah started losing interest in Bennett and his affections turned to Ashley Sims. Ashley was kind of a tomboy; she preferred hunting and fishing to cooking and keeping house. Personality-wise she was a lot like Ben; the major difference was Micah's relationship with her would not be ridiculed or even questioned. Within our cloistered micro-society relationships that would continue bloodlines were preferred; almost required. So, over a period of a couple of weeks Micah and Ben's relationship went from hot to cold. Micah said they could still be friends, but Ben wasn't ready to handle that downgrade right now so they just stopped seeing each other at all. Ashley seemed to be just what Micah was looking for; which, apparently, turned out not to be Ben after all.
October held a lot of changes for the North American landmass as well. The big change in our area was most of the southwest being annexed into Mexico. Jake and the others signed an agreement not to fight against the Mexican government in exchange for being able to keep our land. On November 1st, All Saints Day, Carter and Katy became Mr. and Mrs. Carter Harper, we all became Mexican nationals, and a new family owned the ranch adjoining our property; Randy Kincaid and his family chose to move north to be with his wife's family, and the adjoining property was now Rancho Alvarez.
November came in with a bang. The first week in November saw snowfall of a little over a foot. Carter and Katy's house wasn't ready to withstand the conditions that came with this storm, so they ended up at Jake and Maggie's till it was over. That pushed Ben and Dixon downstairs to the pull-out sofa bed. They complained a little, but it was really the ideal spot during cold weather as it was right in front of the fireplace. It was in that unlikely place that Ben and Dixon had their one-time experience together. Dixon made sure to repeatedly tell Ben it was a one-time thing.
The wind outside was blowing like crazy, howling around the corners of the house. It was so loud; it woke the boys up in the middle of the night. Ben sat up against the back of the couch, rubbing his eyes. When he looked down, between where he was and fireplace, he could see the profile of the tent Dixon was making in the covers.
"Looks like the wind is really exciting you" he whispered sarcastically.
"Ha ha. I've really got to piss. As much as I hate to say it, I'm gonna have to step outside for a second" Dixon whispered back.
"I'll go with you, now that I'm awake I could stand to pee too" Ben told him.
The wooden floor was icy cold between the sofa and the front door and when they opened the door the cold wind practically took their breath away. Suffice it to say, it was the fastest bladder emptying either had done in a long time. After they left two yellow spots in the snow they ran back in for the warm blankets. After they settled in Ben noticed that Dixon's side of the bed still looked like a campground; there was a big tent over there. They'd been stuck on the sofa for several nights, so neither had any chance to `relieve their tension'. Ben thought about it for a long while in the darkness, then came to a decision. His right hand slowly made its way across the space between them and wrapped itself around Dixon's erection. It was pushed away immediately.
"Benny, I'm not..." Dix whispered.
"I know you're not, but we're both horny as hell and I don't see anybody else around here to help out with that" Ben told him, "Besides, I know you used to do stuff with Jamie, so it's not like you never did anything before."
"Yeah, but you're my brother..." Dixon whispered.
"I don't care. Do you? Really?" Ben asked him. There was complete silence while Dixon weighed his options, after a few minutes he released Ben's hand.
"This is not where we fall in love with each other and that fantasy shit of yours. It's just relief this one time" Dixon whispered, making sure to get his point across.
"Okay, I don't have feelings like that for you anyway" Ben whispered back to him as he started unbuttoning Dixon's union suit to get at the lump inside. They had to keep it very quiet since mom and dad's bedroom was just steps away.
Despite the fact that Dixon was almost a year older their dicks were nearly twins, Dixon's may have been a fraction longer but not a major difference. Ben stroked him for a minute and then moved around to get closer. As he was moving, he brought his hand up to his face and took a sniff, he could smell Dixon's dick on his hand and the smell caused his own cock to lurch in his long johns. That was what made up his mind to get that thing into his mouth. He shucked the skin back, huffed the odor and covered the head of Dixon's cock with his wet, hot mouth. Dixon was expecting to get a handy but this was much better, he had to admit; if he could just get the fact that it was his brother out of his head. Damn! he thought Ben is really good at this. I wonder if Micah is missing this yet? It was taking all Dixon had to keep from letting out a moan. Ben was laying kind of halfway on his back as he sucked Dixon; it was a position where he could jack himself off while sucking the other boy's dick. He let Dix's peter go for a minute to go lower and suck on his balls; one at a time he rolled them around, giving each one a thorough tongue bath. Dixon instinctively spread his legs farther apart to give Ben better access. Ben stretched and ran the flat of his tongue from just above Dix's asshole, up between his balls and trailing up to the end of his ready-to-burst cock. When Ben's dove onto him again, it was all Dix could take and he filled up Ben's mouth with his thick pearl jam. Just after, Ben stiffened and pulled his undershirt up just in time as his cock started firing lines of goo all over his stomach. It may have just been a one-time thing, but damn, it was good! Ben thought. It took a long time for Dix to get his breathing back to normal. When they went to sleep this time, they didn't wake up again until Jake was making them get up to fold up the couch.
Sunday, most of the snow was gone and there was a big crew at Carter and Katy's installing insulation and dry wall. Jake and Adam were taking a break when the lifted gunmetal gray Silverado pulled up. Two Hispanic men got out and Jake went to see what they wanted.
"¿Hola, cómo están ustedes?" Jake asked.
"Bien, gracias" the older of the two answered. "¿Todos ustedes hablan español?"
"Solo un poco y no bien" Jake answered.
"Then, we'll speak English" the man said, offering his hand, "I am Antonio Alvarez, I bought the Kincaid ranch. This is my oldest son, Miguel. We're just out meeting the neighbors."
"Oh, well...mucho gusto, Antonio" Jake said shaking Antonio's hand.
"You can call me Tony. We moved up from Dallas, we had to get of the city" Tony said. "Nice work on the house, by the way."
"Thanks, my oldest son here, Carter just got married and we're trying to get his home ready for him and his wife before the baby comes" Jake said.
"Is there anything we can help with? Before the mierda hit the fan I was an electrician in Dallas, Miguel did all kind of carpentry" he said.
"Come in and take a look at what we've done so far" Adam said.
Three hours later the house was wired for LED lights and Miguel told them to stop using the scavenged used insulation. He took his dad's truck back to their ranch and came back with a spray insulation machine. By dark Miguel had insulated the entire house.
"How can we repay you?" Jake asked.
"Don't worry about, when we need help building or something, you can help us. That's what good neighbors do for each other" Tony said.
Jake and Adam knew Tony was going to fit in great with the rest of the group.
"Why don't you come over and meet my family before you go home" Jake said. The two guys followed him over to the main house.
"We really need to get home for dinner. What if we all meet up at the house tomorrow?" Tony asked.
"Okay. Sounds like a plan" Jake replied.
"Maggie, we met the new neighbors, or at least part of them" Jake said as he opened the door. "We're all meeting up at Carter's house tomorrow."
"Maybe I should make a picnic lunch to take over" she said.
"Good idea, he said he'd bring the wife and kids" Jake told her.
"Did he say how many kids he has?" Maggie asked.
"Five, all sons" Jake replied.
"BIG picnic lunch then" Maggie said.
The following morning everybody went over to the house-in-progress. Maggie was amazed that they had done so much work in such a short time. A little after the Harpers got there, Adam and his wife pulled up followed by Tony and another truck. Tony and his wife, Imelda got out and Maggie, Imelda, Adam's wife Janet and Katy all started planning how to decorate the house; picking colors and material for curtains, etc. Tony's four older sons, Miguel, Rafael, Jose and Luis went to work putting up the drywall while the youngest, Diego, stayed by the truck. His brother Luis saw him standing there doing nothing.
"Ven aquí, maricon!" Luis yelled at his brother. Miguel looked pissed and slapped the back of Luis's head, "no seas así, él es tu hermano!"
"Pero es cierto, le gusta el pene" Luis whined.
"Just shut up and leave him alone Luis" Miguel said sharply.
Bennett didn't know much Spanish, but was well aware of words like maricon and pene. He decided he needed to get to know Diego better. He walked over to where Diego was.
"Hi, I'm Bennett. My friends usually call me Ben" he said.
"Diego" the boy said.
"How old are you?" Ben asked him.
"I turned 13 in July" Diego said.
"Let's walk, I'll show you the creek" Ben said. Diego gladly went with Ben; he was happy to be out of the sight of his brother Luis. Ben stopped when they got to the creek and sat on a boulder in the sun. Diego joined him.
"Why was your brother calling you maricon?" Ben asked, "that's not a nice word if I remember correctly."
"I'm gay, so I guess it's true. If you don't want to be friends with me, I'll understand" the boy said sadly, as if he'd had this conversation many times before.
"No, just the opposite" Ben said, "it makes me want to be your friend more. I'm a maricon too, just...nobody knows it. Well, that's not true, my sister Sandra knows and my brother Dixon, but nobody else."
"I would like to have that situation, but Luis always ruins it. Usually, the first thing anybody knows about me is that I'm gay, thanks to Luis" he said. Ben looked him over. He was really good-looking, about Ben's height and weight more or less, jet black hair and deep brown eyes and his skin was a gorgeous copper color.
"I'll be happy to be your friend, if you want me" Ben said, "Wait, that didn't come out right..."
"Its okay, I know what you mean. But what if I do want you?" a devilish look played across those deep dark eyes.
"We'll see. I just got dumped. For a girl!" Ben said disgustedly, "if you have any romantic feelings for girls in you, I'd rather we just be friends."
"I like girls as friends sometimes, but I don't like them that way" Diego said, "that whole area on girls is so...gross, to me anyway."
"Can I try something" Ben asked.
"Sure" Diego said. Ben leaned in and pressed his lips against Diego's. Diego looked surprised.
"I've never had a guy kiss me before" he said.
"What have you done before?" Ben asked.
"Not much. Luis caught me jacking off with a friend one time, that's when he started harassing me" he said.
"We should get to know each other a whole lot better" Ben said.
"Sounds good to me" Diego said. "Right now, we should go back, Luis will be telling everybody that you and I went in the woods to fuck."
They walked back to the house and pitched in by fetching tools for the others. Ben kept feeling like he was being watched and when he looked up, he saw Luis looking at him. Luis made the universal gesture for somebody sucking cock and pointed at Diego. Ben made a different universal gesture back to Luis; he didn't look very happy.
They had most of the inside work finished by about 3 o'clock, thanks to the Alvarez family. Maggie and the other women brought out the picnic lunch she made and they all dug in. The females already had ideas of where to get the soft furnishings that Katy wanted. Since the house was getting finished so much ahead of schedule they'd have to go over and hurry Walt Smith to finish the bed he was building for the couple. The four women took off in one of the Alvarez's trucks to start gathering furnishings.
On the steps in front of the house Ben could see Luis talking to Jose and Rafael and laughing while waving a finger back and forth at him then at Diego. Diego looked over and saw them and yelled "Vete a la chingada!" Miguel heard him and his head snapped toward the troublemaker and he said "you three need to spend more time working and less time being culeros." Ben could tell that Miguel was kind of a peacemaker in the Alvarez family the same way Carter was in his. He wondered if oldest and youngest brothers just got along better in general. They started wrapping everything up as darkness was coming on. Tony, Jose, Luis and Rafael got into his truck. Diego climbed in the back with the various tools. Ben walked over to the truck and told Diego goodnight. The three culeros laughed like hyenas inside.
"What's that about?" Jake asked.
"My brothers are a little...retrasado...slow in the head" Diego said, sounding very serious.
"See you tomorrow" Ben said and waved as the truck took off.
Back at home, Ben and Dixon's temporary bed was covered with a pile of cloth items; curtains, sheets, throw rugs, etc.
"Could you guys load those things in the truck for tomorrow?" Maggie asked.
"Sure mom" Dix said. They each got an armload and filled the back seat of the truck after the second trip.
"I guess we'll be riding the ATVs over there tomorrow, no room in here" Ben said. Dixon nodded.
"You know that boy Luis said his little brother Diego is a fag" Dixon said.
"Yeah. So is your little brother" Ben said.
"Well, you hanging out with him is making them think you're one too" Dixon said, "and yeah, I know you are, but do you want everybody else to know yet?" Ben thought about it, but didn't answer right away.
They went back inside as the group of hens was breaking up. Mrs. Alvarez was going to take Janet Kowalski home on her way back home. As soon as the women left and everybody started going to bed, they unfolded the couch and threw another log on the fire.
"I'll be back in a minute" Ben told Dixon. He went to his parent's bedroom and knocked on the door.
"Come in" Jake said. Ben opened the door, then closed it behind him. "What's wrong, son?" Jake asked. Ben was formulating the words he wanted to say. He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I just wanted to tell you something" he started "I'm sorry. I won't be making you any grandkids. I like boys."
"Its probably just a phase you're going through, buddy. Give it a while" his dad said.
"Jake, we already talked about this" Maggie said.
"He's only thirteen, how can he be sure about anything?" Jake said to her.
"What were you doing at 13?" she asked him.
"Probably sniffing girls bicycle seats" he said.
"Gross" Ben said, getting back into the conversation. "Daddy, I'm 99.9% sure that I am a maricon, as Luis was calling us."
"That's why you were moping around so much when Micah started dating Ashley" his mom said.
"I was in love with Micah, not just friends. I thought he felt the same way. I'm still not sure he's not with her for his parents' sake" Ben said.
"We knew you were different already, baby. Your dad thought you'd outgrow it, but I didn't think so. Sandy says she'll beat up anybody who bothers you about it" Maggie told him.
"She wasn't supposed to say anything" Ben said angrily.
"Girls talk to the moms, baby. Don't be mad at her, she loves you a lot" she said. Ben just let out a deep sigh.
"Look, son, I won't pretend I'm thrilled about any of this but at the end of the day, you're still my son. I'll always love you and want you to be happy, but to me that would mean living a normal life and having kids" Jake said.
"Well, nobody knows what the future will bring" Ben said. "Thanks for not kicking me out of the family or anything like that."
"We would never do that, no matter what" Jake said. Ben hugged him then leaned across the bed and kissed his mom on the cheek.
"Goodnight, see you in the morning" he said.
"Goodnight" the said.
"What was that all about?" Dixon asked.
"I told mom and dad" Ben said.
"And..."
"And, they're ok with it. Dad is disappointed in me I think, but he's still okay. He still thinks I'll outgrow it" Ben answered.
"Hmmm. Maybe" Dix said. Then after a few minutes he said "on second thought, I'm not so sure. You're very good at being gay, I'm almost tempted to let you practice it some more."
"Well..." Ben's hand started toward Dixon's crotch, but Dixon stopped him.
"I said almost" Dixon said "You better save it for Diego, lover boy." Ben grinned. Tomorrow was going to be a good day; he could just feel it.
