Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 23:12:53 -0500 From: Dwedno Smith Subject: Tunnel Chapter 61 Another chapter for everyone. Thanks once again to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts with me about the story. To those who have asked about Jake, my other story I will try and get something out soon but as you can probably figure out its not easy to make everything get done in a timely manner. Anyway thanks again and enjoy this chapter. Dwedno. Chapter 61. So who is really with who now? I followed Kyle into his room and sat down on his bed. He sat next to me, closer then I expected but that was fine. It didn't bother me where he sat. "So why did my informant call me and tell me that there was yelling in the house?" "You mean Shawn?" he laughed. "Yeah Shawn. He seemed worried for you." "That's nice but there wasn't any need for him to worry. I went to see Jon after a cooling off period like you suggested around 3pm. Most of the day I was either in here or the kitchen and for about an hour I played a video game with Luke. Other than passing I only saw Jon once the entire day. So anyway... I knocked on his bedroom door and he opened it. I asked if I could come in and he said yes. When I got inside he asked me why I would do this to him. He said that he was confused and hurt by the way I was acting and that he really wanted to be with me and what I did by breaking it off after just three days wasn't fair to either of us." "Was that all?" "Most of it. There were a few other things he threw at me but they were private." "I see. Private huh. So how did you answer him?" "I told him that it wasn't his fault but he already knew that. I tried to explain that he was great and it had nothing to do with sex but I just wasn't ready mentally for a relationship with a guy right now." "Did you mean that or was it just that you want to be with the other boy on your mind and you didn't want to hurt him?" He looked at me in a way he hasn't looked in a long time. Puzzled... "Are you sure you aren't in my head or able to read my mind bro?" I laughed. "Nope, sorry I am not in your head I am just thinking about everything you have told me and kinda putting two and two together. AND...I think you feel a little guilty in the back of your mind that you might have stolen Jon from me. How's that?" First his mouth dropped open. Then he sat back on his bed again after standing before to explain the details better. He was speechless for the moment and finally I guess he gathered his thoughts and spoke to me again. "I hate when you do that!" "What? Guess the obvious after you give me all the clues?" "STOP! He said. Let me tell things my way!" As I once again answered the obvious myself. I laughed. "Stop telling me what you think happened before I get to say it." He had me chuckling. "Okay I will be quiet go on and tell me." "Now I don't know if I want to." "Fine Kyle, how about I tell you what you were gonna say then." "Don't you dare, not if you want to live!" he said half joking. I was all smiles as I busted his balls. I got up off his bed and looked around his room as I waited for him to start talking again. "There really isn't a lot left since you seem to know most of it already from what you are saying to me. There is just the fact that he still hasn't really said anything about you even though we are officially apart. If that is what I can call it." "I don't know if a three day relationship has a name for it other then trial." "Yeah well trial is fine by me. I am a little worried though bro, he really took it worse then I expected especially for only three days. I just hope he will be okay. I don't mean go crazy on someone or anything serious. I mean more like handle it good enough that he finally talks to someone in the house even if its not either of us." "You bring up a good point Ky, I really don't know if I should go talk to him or attempt to talk to him or just leave him be and well ya know no matter what this is gonna drive me nuts. I love him and I hate that all of us are in this position. Why couldn't he just say something when I asked him that question. Things would be so different now!" "Honestly TJ how much different could they really be? I mean if he was mad at you for leading him on without any answer to what you and he were together how much would he have said to either of us. While we were together for those days he didn't really mention feelings towards you even though he talked about you a lot." "Talked about me a lot?" "Yeah but lets not go there its not a comfortable subject." "HUH?" "Trust me okay? You don't want to know what he was saying about you when he mentioned you." "Oh sure when you put it that way I really don't want to know. What did he say?" Kyle looked at me like... duh! "Let's put it this way...if I tell you it will only hurt your manhood, okay?" I thought about what he said and got an idea but now should I go there or just leave it be. He is looking at me and I suppose waiting for a reply. "My manhood. I think I will choose the smart way this time and just let it be." "Good I didn't want to have to go there." "You realize that this is going to drive me crazy till I find out what you aren't saying." "Fine I'll tell you then." "No, its okay probably better I don't let you insult my manhood." "It wasn't me it was him...oh ya know just forget it now I know you are busting my balls!" I was and I was snickering about it too. Only thing is I really wanted to know and I am sure it had something to do with size and insults or something like that but I am gonna just leave it alone. "I'm gonna go Ky." "Yeah and knock on his door right?" "Maybe..." "Yeah right TJ like I don't know you. Maybe..." "Talk to you later bro." I walked over and opened his door and headed out. I got to the steps and Jon just happened to be out of his room and in my eye shot. I walked up stairs and he came over. "Look Tommy I really want to..." "Jon I really want to..." We both said the same thing together and started to laugh a little. "You go first Jon." "No Tommy I think you should go first besides I owe you an apology." "Let's go in your room Jon this isn't for anyone's ears." I said as I looked downstairs and a few boys were within earshot of our conversation and could easily hear this if they wanted to. We went in his room and I shut the door. I turned to speak and he was all over me with a huge hug. He held me tightly like it was the last hug he was ever going to give anyone in this world. I put my arms around him and it really felt good. Hugging Shawn is great but he is smaller and shorter and you don't get as much mass out of Shawn hugs. What the hell am I talking about? Anyway... we broke the hug and I looked at him. "You were saying Jon?" "Um... I don't know where to start." "How about at the beginning like when you should have answered my question instead of letting me walk away." "Sorry." He said to me and then he lowered his head. Apparently he knew exactly what I meant. It was an awkward moment and neither of us spoke for a few seconds. It was that deafening silence that you get sometimes. "At the time I wanted payback. He finally said. I felt like you were using me, like I was second to Shawn and if he wasn't in the mood to be in your bed on any given night then I got a shot. We were supposed to be together and every time I wanted to be with you I had to compete with that half pint. I felt like I finally could get even with you some how and not answering that question made me feel really good inside for about three seconds... then you walked away. I didn't have enough pride to go after you and even if I wanted to I knew things were over somehow. Kyle was paying more attention to me then you were and he was starting to look like he wanted some attention back too so I went for it. It was nice for a while." "Wow. After all that I don't know if what I had to say is even worth saying." "Let me finish, please?" "Sorry go on Jon." "All I know Tommy is I had you and I had your brother. Kyle is a great kid but he isn't ready or something is wrong. He blew me off like I was poison and it stung but it didn't hurt as much as it did with you. He wants someone or needs someone in his life but I just don't think I am that someone." He looked at me. There were no tears just sadness in his face. I walked over the few steps I stood from him and just put my arms around him. He held me back and neither of us said anything for a long time or what felt like a long time. We both had what we wanted for the moment. Shawn didn't matter right now just our feelings did and nothing more. I started rubbing his back. "I know it hasn't been that long since we broke apart Tommy but its been weeks since we really did anything other then acknowledge each other in passing." We were still holding each other and I was still running my hand up and down his back. "That feels so good. Your touch always felt good. Somehow you always knew what to do to me and that is what I think I miss the most." I broke away from him and held him at arms length. "Me too Jon... I missed the same thing too. Being with Shawn is sweet but being with you is sorta like what I need." "Yeah well being with Kyle was sweet too but he definitely has a lot to learn about boy sex and I'll leave it at that." "Thanks, after all he is my brother and I don't really want details." He laughed. One of his best assets. His smile and laugh. I hadn't seen it in weeks at least not towards me. I moved forward and his laugh went away. I got within inches and our lips met. I instantly felt the electric as it shot from his lips to mine. So many times before we did this and nothing was close to this time. This felt new. Fresh! I kissed his lips as we hugged again and my hands wrapped around him and found his butt. I pulled him tightly to me as the feelings intensified between us. I was starting to get hard. We broke our kiss. "You wanna?" "Shit yeah!" We both started to strip. He finished first and locked his bedroom door. By the time I got to him which was only seconds after he locked the door he was already erect and I wasn't far behind. I reached out for him and him for me as we both took each others cocks into one another's hand and slowly felt and stroked them. Boy did I miss this! "TJ I missed your touch so much I want you to fuck my ass so hard I feel it in my throat." "I love it when you talk dirty Jon!" We found our way to the bed and laid down in a 69 position. Immediately we began sucking each other off and I didn't know about him but I knew I couldn't last long. "Jon if we don't stop I am not going to be able to fuck you." "Save it I want you to cum in my mouth! I miss your cock so much!" He mumbled. He went back to sucking me and the feeling was so strong I stopped sucking him and rolled onto my back. He was all over my hard cock like a snake on its prey at feeding time. About a minute later I was warning him as the urge overcame me like never before! "Jon I am gonna cum NOW!" And as soon as I said now I began to fill his mouth with my love seed. My head fell back onto his bed as he drank everything I shot at him and slurped up whatever escaped his lips afterward. The last thing I felt was him pulling off my cock as I went into some level of unconsciousness. I wasn't passed out, I was just so full of pleasure from his sucking that I felt nothing but wave after wave of joy flooding my mind and causing me major disorientation for a good minute or two. Finally I came back to earth, so to speak. "Wow you were totally out there TJ. You didn't move for a good two minutes!" "Yeah well you blew my mind! That was so awesome I can't even tell you how good it was!" "I think you just did." "Okay now you boy! On your back!" He lay down and spread his legs and I went in between and took his semi hard cock into my mouth and began what was going to be some point of payback for all the disappointment I had caused over the past few weeks to him. I began sucking on him and his eyes closed. Remembering what he liked I took my free hand and went down between his ass cheeks and searched for butt hole. "No Tommy stop!" he commanded. "What? What is wrong?" "I really appreciate that you want to do that for me and I want you too but please don't. I am not dirty but... I don't have to explain do I? Just do me a favor and stay with my cock and balls this time." "Sure Jon." Well anyway that was interesting... he tasted fine too. So I went back to sucking him and playing with his nads. Apparently he was close because minute man was already treating me to precum after about a minute of playing with him. "How long Jon?" "How long what?" "Since you came last?" "Ummm, two days I think." I went back to what I was doing and started to tug well on his balls to send him quicker to his point of no return. Again I was given that familiar taste and about thirty seconds later he panted out a warning that he was ready and my minute man began to fill my mouth with a few squirts of his cum. He squirted four times and I enjoyed all of it. I squeezed out the last drops as he squirmed from the sensation of my touch before I let go and he fell back onto the bed to enjoy the rest of his orgasm. One thing about Jon, he came quickly but he was also ready to go again in five minutes if I wanted. It was weird but pretty neat too. About a minute later he sat up and smiled at me. "I was sure missing that a whole lot! No one does that like you!" "I'll take that as a complement." "You should. Not that I am knocking your brother but he has a lot to learn." I laughed and shook my head. I reached in and gave him a couple of wanks and felt his balls up well before I put my feet back on the floor. "I sure missed that a lot Jon. So where do we go from here? I just can't throw Shawn out of my room. I promised him we would be together and I am sure you know his room is occupied by Chase." "How about for now we just use my bed for this and go slowly." "Yeah but will you be okay with that? I mean this is just about what we had before Jon." "No this is more then we had before. I didn't have you at all for two weeks. Now I have you even if its in my room and I couldn't be happier for now. I am not going to make you give up Shawn as long as you promise not to give up me again." "I promise Jon. You will have my attention as much as you want. I guess I will just have to either learn to cum twice a day, not that its that hard to do... or not screw around with Shawn so much." "Thanks, I think...TJ." "Sorry Jon I was thinking out loud. I didn't mean anything by it." "I know I just wanted to bust theses some!" He said as he took a handful of my balls and gave a squeeze. We were both obviously still totally naked and sitting next to one another on the edge of his bed. "Keep it up and I might be ready to get hard again!" "Good I will be ready in a few minutes if you want to go again." "BRAGGER!!" He laughed. "You know it. I might not have a lot on you but at least I have that!" "I don't know about you but after that session I need a shower. Care to join me?" "Sure, in your room?" "Yup. If Shawn is in there he will just have to leave." "That should be interesting. He sees us walk in together in our underwear. I can imagine what will go through his head." "Probably more jealousy." "More?" "Yeah he is really upset with me spending so much time with Chase." "Have you done anything with Chase?" I smiled at him. "That was a stupid question. I should have known better." "Not a lot Jon. Just sorta showed him the ropes a little, besides he is still really small and he is only nine. But it was still fun and let me tell you..." I looked at him and he seemed interested but something seemed wrong too. "I am saying too much aren't I?" "Ahhh, not really but sorta." He shook his hand like half and half, mensa, mensa. "Okay, sorry I'll stop talking about him then." "NO are you kidding I love this stuff." I laughed. He was too much. "So finish...come on..." "Where was I, oh yeah he is small and only nine but the kid doesn't have a shy bone in his body. He didn't hesitate to strip naked for me even in front of Chance which is another story... but are you ready for this... he came in the bathroom this morning to tell me he was ready to go home and I was in the shower with Shawn. Shawn wanted him to join us but I wasn't sure at first." "So what happened?" I had Jon roped and tied now...1000% attention! "Well after Chase said what he wanted I hinted at the invite not that he needed much. I have a feeling he wanted to come in with me before I started to hint but Shawn wanted him in so he could see what he had hidden in those pants like the little perv he is." Jon laughed. "That's no lie!" "Well anyway I threw down the hint and he shut the bathroom door. We both thought he was gone, he scares the shit out of me from behind and comes in with us. Shawn figures the kid will be an easy target or something I guess because he doesn't have a clue that Chase doesn't care about being totally naked anytime or apparently with anyone or something like that." "Really! Wow!" "Now this is the good part and if you ever say a word I will cut this off! I said as I grabbed his cock in my hand, which was now semi hard from my story. Chase comes in and Shawn is acting like mister tough guy being all naked and so on. Then he realizes that as he is washing Chase's back Chase doesn't mind it at all but Shawn won't go south and wash below the border. Chase didn't do it either so they both just washed back and belly. When it came time to make a decision about doing anything else Chase took Shawn's hand with the bar of soap and brought it right down to his hard cocklet and began to rub Shawn's hand and the soap all around his hardness. I couldn't see Shawn's face sadly just Chase's. He led Shawn on with that move totally opening the door for them to have as much fun as they wanted to but what happened next I could never in a million years imagine Jon! It was priceless. As quickly as Chase let go of his soapy hand Shawn pulled away from Chase's hard cocklet like it was about to bite him or something. I did everything I could not to laugh and believe me it was one of the toughest things I ever had to do to hold back that feeling!" "Are you serious? Oh man I would have died!" "I did. I felt so bad and at the same time I just wanted to bust out laughing at how poorly Shawn's attempt backfired." "Then what happened?" "Shawn got all embarrassed and snuck past me and actually hid behind me. I turned and washed Chase all over his cocklet and balls and he rinsed off and to keep the peace after he was soap free I kinda asked him to go dry off so I could spend some time with Shawn. The boy is pretty smart Jon he got my hint and left. I comforted Shawn as best as I could but he was so embarrassed he actually just wanted to be left alone. I felt horrible Jon I didn't know what to do so I left him in the bathroom and finished outside with Chase without another word said about it and then Chase went back into his bedroom with Chance and Shawn came out. I wanted to comfort him but he just wanted to be left alone. I still haven't said anything about it to him." "Are you gonna?" "I don't think so. It was painful to go through I don't want to bring it up again." "Yeah good point." "Let's go shower Jon I am all sweaty after that fun." "Yeah well I smell like cum a little so I know what you mean. So at least you got to wash Chase I bet that was fun." "Oh yeah! It was great." "What about Chance?" "I don't really want to go there Jon. Not that anything totally bad happened but lets just say it wasn't like it was with Chase. Chance is not as open at all." "Oh, well I got ya. You don't have to say any more." We took off down the hall to my room and thankfully no one saw us and Shawn wasn't in the room. We went in and Jon threw his clean clothes on my bed and we went into the shower. After I adjusted the water we both got in and washed one another thoroughly and might I add played a little more and got hard again but we didn't finished up like I wanted to because as usual there was a knock at the door. this time it was Shawn. "What is it Shawn?" "Why is the door locked TJ? Who is in there with you?" "Don't worry about why Shawn. Do you need something?" "No not really I just wanted to see what you were doing. Now I know." "Yeah well I'll be out in a little bit." "Okay TJ." "Guess we are done Tommy?" "Yeah sorry, but it wasn't that bad we both got hard again and it really felt great with the soap and all." "Yeah it was great, I'm not upset. I got you back!" He gave me a hug and poked me with his stiff cock. "Easy there Jon that thing is still loaded!" We both laughed. I turned off the water after we kissed for a second and we got out. "What are you gonna tell Shawn if he is out there when we dry off?" "Nothing. He will figure it out, he is a very smart boy." "Yeah smart and jealous Tommy." "He'll live! It was you not Chase so he should be okay and probably a bit surprised too." "That's for sure." "TJ who are you talking to in there?" I looked at Jon. "Guess its time he finds out." "Yeah." he laughed. I opened the door and we both walked out together. "Oh I guess that says it all." "Hi Shawn." "Hi Jon. Guess you and TJ are back together?" "Not totally, you and him can talk about that. TJ I am gonna get dressed in my room. I'll catch up with you later." "Okay Jon." He grabbed his clothes and left. Shawn looked at me. "Does this mean we are no longer gonna be together?" "No Shawn. We will be together but Jon will be back in my life again. Can you handle that?" "I guess so." I sat on my bed next to him. "Cutie, nothing will ever change how I feel about you. I love you with all my heart and as long as you let me I will always feel that way." "I know TJ but I want you all for myself. Now Jon is back and you are with Chase and all this, it's a lot for me to deal with." I put my arm around him and pulled him close to me. "First, I care a lot about Jon, I like Chase but I LOVE you. That should say it all." "I know that already TJ I just have trouble dealing with it. I want you all not part of you." "I'm sorry love, but I can't do that. I will always love you and you are always welcome in my bed. I will always give you anything you want including all the hugs in the world but..." "Yeah I know...but there will always be someone else won't there?" I just looked at him. He got all teary eyed and got up off my bed. He looked at me. "Just so you know I do love you TJ but I don't like the other guys around. I am going. I need to be alone for a while." He headed to the door and opened it and sorta slammed it as he left. That went well. NOT! At least he spoke before he left this time. Maybe he will adjust some? I really don't know. I got dressed and headed down by Jon. I knocked on his door and he yelled to come in. "How bad was it TJ?" "Ahhh, it could have gone better but at least he sorta accepted it." "Poor kid." He chuckled. "This isn't totally funny Jon, even if I am smiling some too." "What are you gonna do?" "Love him and let him know I am there for him and deal with it as best as I can." "Sounds smart to me." "Yeah well its all I have right now." "I know, I'm glad I am part of that `what you have' too." "Me too Jon, me too." "What about Kyle TJ?" "I wouldn't worry about him, I think he has someone he is interested in Jon." "Really? Who?" "I don't have a clue yet." "Wow so you mean while he was with me..." I interrupted him. "No Jon while he was with you he was just with you. Kyle might not be ready for guys totally but he was committed to you 100%." "Oh, sorry I was just..." "No need to say anymore Jon, just let it go. I wish I could make that pain go away but I am sure it will for both of you and no matter what you always has a crack at him and spent some time with him. Not too many can say that." "Yeah I know we had something special for those few days and it was nice being with him too. That's all I am gonna say TJ. saying anymore wouldn't be fair to him or you." "Thanks Jon. I appreciate that. Besides I know all I want to know. I sorta told Kyle I didn't need details but he was ready to share anything I wanted to know. It just felt wrong to know." "That's good, I am glad to know you have limits of some kind." I went over to smack him and he knew right away. He rolled up into a ball and hid from me. I just tickled him and he started to screech. I didn't do it long but he still turned red by the time I stopped. "I hate it when you do that! Its so unfair! You know all my spots!" I laughed. "Yeah and you know mine too." "Yeah ha, ha you don't have many so big freaking deal!" Again I laughed. "I have two or three." "Yeah and if I tickle your feet you kill me and the other two are your balls and cock a lot good that does me." I was still chuckling. "Oh shut up I hate when you do that." "What laugh?" "No chuckle at me like you have the advantage EVEN if you do!" "I'm sowwie Jonathan..." I went over and kissed his head. "Knock it off smart ass." "Oh okay no kiss then how about I tickle?" "NO! Kisses are fine!!" I gave him another one on top of his head and then he looked up at me so I kissed him on the lips. That one lasted a bit. I sat next to him and we just made out for a while. Nothing more, just kissed each other and enjoyed ourselves. Finally we both lay back on his bed and just stayed there for a while. It felt really good. I almost fell asleep but he rolled over and started tickling my belly. I hate that when I am almost asleep. I grabbed his hand and smacked it. He laughed. "What? No tickles?" "Jon do you want to be tickled?" "No that's okay, I'll stop." Again things got quiet. It wasn't that late and I really didn't want to fall asleep but I was bored. I dozed off to sleep anyway. Down the hall Luke was sitting in his room just as bored as Tommy was until there was a knock on his door. he got up off his bed and opened it. "Hi Kyle what brings you here?" "I was just wondering if you wanted to come down to my place for a bit." "Sure, why not I don't have anything to do in here." He shut his door and followed Kyle downstairs and back into Kyle's part of the house. "Last time we were here did you enjoy it at all?" "I guess so. I didn't really think much of it why?" "Just curious. I mean we didn't do a lot just played those games ya know." "Yeah I remember. So what gives?" "Huh?" "You invited me here for something right?" "Yeah I just don't know what I want to do yet." "Oh well I don't mind just hanging out. Like I said I was in my room and bored kinda silly in there. This is better even if we don't do much." "Okay that's good to know." Kyle commented. They sat around in awkward silence for a bit. "You have anything you want to do?" asked Kyle. "Nothing comes to mind." Luke replied. "I know... you wanna go swimming?" "Mmmmmm, I don't know I really don't feel like getting wet." "Awww come on it will be fun, besides I feel like some exercise and I bet you would enjoy it too, please?" "I guess so. I mean what else is there to do. I'll go slip into my bathing suit and be right back." "Okay, I'll change and wait for you here." Luke got up and walked out of Kyle's room and closed the door behind himself. "YES!!!" he exclaimed aloud. He stripped off his clothes and put on his bathing suit and waited for Luke to come back. Meanwhile over at Cameron's house... "Hey Cam is there anything I can get you? I mean fresh water or ice or anything?" "Nah its okay Chance I am starting to feel better now and the swelling has gone down a lot." "That's a relief." "Yeah I know." He sat up and slowly swung a leg over being super careful not to move too fast or allow anything to put pressure on his balls. "You want any help?" "No. just let me do this okay?" "Yeah, okay...sorry." Chance said. He slowly moved his other leg and now both feet were touching the floor. He grimaced as he put pressure on his feet and stood slowly on them. Chance watched as he stood close by just incase anything happened. Slowly Cameron moved his left leg and then took a step followed by another from his right foot. He stopped. "What's wrong?" asked Chance. "Nothing, I just don't want to rush, so far there isn't any pain." "Awesome!" Chance yelled out. He finally felt some of the pressure released off of him now that his brother was up and attempting to move around. Cameron took another baby step and everything seemed okay. Slowly he took one more and another. Before he knew it he was walking albeit slowly but at least he was at his bedroom door. "How's that?" Chance asked. "Not bad. Stop worrying so much Chance I am not totally mad at you for what you did. I kinda had it coming to me I just didn't expect it from you. I really thought Chase was gonna nail me for doing it to him." "I don't know Cam, he isn't like that. Even the time I spent with him at Tommy's house he didn't say too much about getting even. He was more hurt than anything about how you treated him." "Gee thanks for trying to make me feel better about all this shit!" "Sorry I wasn't trying to make things worse I was just telling you what was going on." "Yeah well do me a small favor. Don't! I feel bad enough between my balls aching and my head hurting from how much I have thought about what I did to him on my own. If I didn't have DJ here while you and Chase were gone I would have lost my mind!" He opened his door the rest of the way and started to walk out of his room. "Where ya goin?" "To the kitchen to get something to drink." "Okay, I'll follow." He walked behind his brother all the way to the kitchen and stood as he grabbed the container of milk and then got a glass and poured himself a glass of cold milk and sat down slowly at the table. "That wasn't so bad. Maybe I'll be okay in the morning." "Yeah well either way I'll be up at five and do the chores." "I know, and in a way I'm glad because I was sorta getting tired of doing them everyday while the two of you were gone. We are supposed to share it and I know you couldn't from Tommy's house but I wouldn't mind sleeping in for a few days." "No problem Cam. You take this week off and I'll do it. It was sorta my turn anyway." "Good not that I think I will sleep much past five tomorrow morning but its still gonna be nice not having to get up and go out into the freezing cold that is IF I sleep at all tonight." Back at the house... "Kyle... Luke yelled out as he opened his door to Kyle's room. I'm read -dy... oh you're here already." "Yeah it didn't take me long to dress." Both boys had on their bathing suits and an undershirt. Luke had a towel draped over his shoulder as Kyle gave him a good look over. "Okay let's go hit the water." "Aren't you bringing a towel?" "Oh yeah thanks." He grabbed a towel and shut his door. They walked quietly down the hall and around the corner to the pool. Kyle switched on the lights and the pool lit up. He turned on the underwater lights and nothing more and the pool looked awesome. "That sure looks great that way." "Yeah I know Luke I never swam with just those lights on but what the hell! This should be fun." Both boys threw down their towels and stripped off their shirts. Kyle watched Luke closely as he took his off. He noticed the hairs that had formed under each arm as Luke was slowly becoming a man inside. His chest was filling in nicely too not that Kyle knew what he looked like before this. He just took notice of his features as he pulled his shirt off over his head. Kyle was starting to fill out now too. His armpit hair was also filling in nicely and he had a decent amount of bush down below in his crotch now too. Both boys were slowly leaving their pre teen years behind them and becoming more mature. At least physically. Maybe mentally too but with no adult supervision that might take a while. Kyle dove in from where the were standing as he surfaced Luke was still standing there deciding on how to get in. "Come on in Luke." "I'm working on it Kyle give me a minute." He walked down a few feet and jumped into the shallow water then he slowly swam over to where Kyle was in the six foot deep water. Kyle watched very closely not expecting what he saw. He never noticed before how inexperienced Luke was in the water. Finally Luke made it to Kyle. "You don't swim a lot I see." "Not really. Benjy tried to teach me and he didn't do well. So did your brother." "Really? Tommy tried to teach you? He's pretty good in the water." "Yeah I know I have watched him a lot. How are you in the water Ky?" "Let's just say I can hold my own. When it comes to swimming Tommy is good but when it comes to shooting then I take the lead and he hold's his own." "Ummm, okay." "I can try and help you some if you want Luke." "Nah its okay. I'm sure when Tommy finds time he will help me again." "Awww, come on at least let me try. We'll go over to the shallow part this way nothing will happen." "I don't know Kyle." "Please?" Kyle begged. "Okay but I hate going under the water. That's why I never got too far. Tommy was just teaching me how to hold my breath last time we tried." "Okay well how about we do some floating then and you don't have to go under and I will guide you." "Sure." Luke got into position with Kyle at his side he began to float some but was still having trouble keeping himself above the waterline. Kyle gladly took his hands and placed them in the water under Luke. At first his hands were in the middle of his back but Kyle slowly worked his way south and eventually had his right hand on Luke's ass. So far Luke said nothing about this but Kyle was starting to feel a bit of growth as he slowly roamed his butt with his hand. As he continued to guide Luke his eyes focused on the small bulge in Luke's swim trunks. He had Luke right where he wanted now all he had to do was figure out a way to get his hands closer to that sweet bulge. He was already enjoying Luke's ass and as discreetly as possible groping Luke's ass as much as he could without making it obvious. Kyle looked down and noticed he was sprouting out of his own bathing suit some now more then he wanted to. "Oh Kyle I am ready to get up." He spoke out. Kyle sadly released his hand from Luke's ass and his legs found ground. He stood up and shook the water from his ears. "That was pretty good at least I felt like I was getting some... Kyle, do you have a hard-on?" Kyle turned a little red in the face from Luke's up front question. He backed off a little and went under water while he thought for a second what to say. He grabbed himself down there trying to shake the stiffness away but he couldn't hide underwater forever. He surfaced a few feet away from Luke. "Why didn't you answer me before you went underwater?" Luke said with some anguish in his voice. "Sorry... I guess I was too embarrassed to say anything right away." "So you did? Didn't you?" "Yeah I guess so." "You're just like your brother aren't you? Both of you are gay." Kyle was beet red in the face now with no place to go and he didn't know how to reply to Luke. "Tommy is gay, I don't really know what I want yet." "Then how come that happened to you?" "Well since we seem to be speaking freely it happened because I think your hot and while I held you I was really enjoying it more then I probably should have. I'm sorry Luke." Luke just looked at him for a moment saying nothing. "Well at least say something Luke don't leave me totally baffled after making me admit that." They swam around for a little bit in the water... Luke stopped about fifteen feet from Kyle. "What would you like me to say Kyle that I enjoyed what you did? Well it didn't bother me. I just don't know if I am into guys. I can tell you this. When Tommy touched me at first I didn't like it at all and he really has wandering hands or did before I told him to stop. When you did it before it wasn't bad at all." "What does that mean?" Kyle asked. He swam in towards Luke. Now his stiffie was all but gone. "I don't know for sure but I don't seem to mind it as much when you touch me." "That sounds like a good thing." "Let's just say for now its not totally bad." Kyle smiled as if he felt some sort of weight of the world lifted off of him all of a sudden. "So do you want to try it again?" "I'm not sure yet but..." "Come on one more time, please??" "What float?" "Yeah, Luke you float for me." "Sure Kyle I can do that I guess." Luke immediately did as Kyle asked. Not totally sure why he was begging so but he did it anyway. Right now Luke probably would have done anything for Kyle. He seemed to be desperate for some companionship and even though he wasn't totally ready to admit it he likes him too. Kyle's eyes watched every inch of Luke as he showed him what he asked for. After about a minute he stood back up. "So what did you think?" "I think I enjoyed the view this time." "Really?" Kyle nodded yes. "I guess I have to do something or make some kind of decision Kyle and you made me think. Its really lonely around here and I don't see any girls coming anytime soon." "Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Now if we had that (girls) I probably wouldn't have even thought about this stuff here in the pool and the touching before." "Forget it." Luke came closer to Kyle and Kyle moved in towards Luke at the same time. They met in the shallow end. "So now what Luke?" Not totally sure of himself or if this was even what he wanted he put his hand into the water and felt around. He found the little lump in Kyle's swim trunks and gave it a gentle feel. Kyle smiled widely as Luke pulled away. "That was nice." "Yeah?" "Yeah it was." Kyle stuck his hand into the water and did the same. As he touched Luke he was looking into his eyes and they closed for a few seconds. He let go and Luke opened his eyes again. "That is different and not all that bad." "Did you ever do anything with a girl Luke?" "Nah, I was too shy and afraid. One time I almost got to be alone with this one girl from school and I was about to try something but someone came along and started talking. I stopped trying and eventually said bye to her and walked away." "That sucks." "Yeah it really did. She was nice and one of the few girls in school that talked to me without me saying something first." "Are you okay with what we are doing now Luke? I mean if you are or were into girls I don't want to make you do the wrong thing." "I don't know Kyle. Honestly I just want a friend in this house. Benjy is great but he is older and we don't do anything except talk. You are my age and I kinda like being with you even if we haven't done anything much yet." "Then we can go slowly." "Sounds good to me. I think I had enough pool today Kyle. It was fun for a bit and just so you know when you touched me it was pretty neat." Kyle smiled at Luke. They both headed out of the pool. "I'm gonna go change." "Yeah me too. If you want you can come to my room later Luke." "I'll see how things go its not too late but I have been waking up early and I might go to bed soon. I still want to take a shower and get the pool smell off me." "Yeah me too. Kyle thought for a second... Luke if you want you can use my shower." He thought about it silently as they walked out of the pool area. "I don't really know if I am ready to shower with another guy yet but thanks for offering Kyle." "Anytime, just let me know." "Hey Kyle?" Luke yelled out as he stopped on the steps. "Yeah?" "You know it goes both ways. You can always come up and play with my dog or say hi too." "Yeah that sounds kewl, thanks." They parted ways as Luke headed upstairs and Kyle went to his room smiling all the way there. The room was quiet as I rolled over and looked to see if Jon was still there. He was. The clock read 11:15. The house was quiet. I was thirsty. I made sure I was dressed properly and headed downstairs. All the lights were out and the TV room was quiet. I went into the kitchen for something to drink. I grabbed a glass and poured myself some milk and before I sat down I turned on the florescent light by the sink for some light. I sat down and thought about things. Like where there hell is Shawn. It suddenly hit me that I fell asleep with Jon on my bed and Shawn has no where to be found. He can't sleep in his room since Chase is here and in Shawn's room. I got up and left my drink at the table to see where Shawn was. My first thought was the game room so I headed there. Sure enough he was laying on the couch covered by a blanket all alone. I sat next to him and started rubbing his head. Eventually he woke and looked at me. "Hey TJ what's wrong? Why did you wake me up?" "Because you are sleeping in here and I was worried about where you were." "Oh. Well I went to your room before and when I opened the door I saw you and Jon asleep on the bed so I didn't know what to do. I just came back down here and decided to sleep on the couch." "I'm sorry Shawn. My bed is for us, that's you and me as long as Chase is here." "That's all TJ?" "Huh?" "That's all your bed is for now? Does that mean you and Jon are back together?" "First off cutie...my bed is for you and me. ALWAYS!! Second. Jon and me are talking. You found us there because we just fell asleep. You should have come over and woke me up." "I didn't want to bother you." "Shawn...please do me a favor... I promised you my bed. If you want to or need to sleep in it from now on you tell me okay?" "Sure TJ if that's what you want." "Its not only what I want its what you deserve for giving up your room." He smiled. "Now come on get up and come with me. I'm having some milk in the kitchen." "That sounds good." "Then come join me." "I am." He followed me back to the kitchen and I poured him a glass of milk and we sat together. We made small talk for about ten minutes and then we heard someone coming. Jon popped into the kitchen. "I woke up and you were gone." "Yeah I was thirsty and we fell asleep. I woke and forgot that Shawn is sleeping with me and I went looking for him." "Oh man... I didn't think about that. He looked at Shawn. Sorry Shawnee kid. I didn't mean to steal your bed." "That's okay Jon I know you didn't do it on purpose." Jon sat with us and we chatted and laughed for a bit. Apparently we were talking a little loud because we heard someone coming downstairs and heading towards us. It was Chase. He came right over to me and put his hand on my shoulder as he leaned on me. "Hey Chase what's wrong bud?" "I can't sleep. Its too weird being in Shawn's room all alone." "Come have a seat." I said as I patted the bench next to me. He sat next to me and I looked at Shawn. I could see him watching Chase like the kid was infringing on his territory...me! He didn't say anything he just watched Chase as he sat and I watched Shawn as he watched Chase. If looks could kill I wondered... I looked across at Jon and he raised his eyebrows as he watched the same thing. He said nothing. Chase has become very clingy lately. It started before we left to come back today. At least it appears that way to me. Funny thing is I don't think Chase has a clue what he is doing to Shawn. "You want something to drink Chase?" "No thanks, I just want to sit here with you guys if its okay." "Sure it is. Said Jon. Trying to help take some of the sting off me in some way by offering Chase the opportunity to stay. We all made small talk for a bit longer. I got another glass of milk and actually did refills and it was slowly turning into a midnight meeting of sorts as another kid wandered down to the kitchen to join us. "Hey Billy, what's up?" Asked Jon. "Hey guys I heard noise and decided to come down and see what the laughing was." "Guess we are being too loud boys. I looked at the kitchen clock. Its 2am we should quiet down some." "Yeah said Jon. Maybe its time to call it a night." "No... said Chase who was leaning on me. I am having fun." "Yeah me too... said Shawn. I am not tired." As he yawned and we all laughed at him. "Its kinda fun doing this is the dark." Billy said, "Yeah, I added. No one ever sits and talks during the day." "We all have things to do." Added Jon. "Yeah sooooo very important things. I threw in. everyone laughed. Maybe we should turn in it is getting late and we are loud." Grumbles came from the boys but we all got up. Everyone put their dishes in the dishwasher by my orders and then headed out of the kitchen. On the way upstairs Chase tugged on my arm. "Tommy can you come sit with me for a little while?" "Sure. I turned to Shawn. You go in and I'll be in shortly." "Okay TJ don't take too long I want you to LAY with me!" I got the hint but I didn't know if Chase did. He seemed half asleep as it was. Shawn went into our room and I followed Chase into Shawn's bedroom. He got on the bed and put his head on the pillow and looked at me. "Tommy? Do you think things will even be normal again?" "Normal how cutie?" "Ya know...me back home with my brothers and none of us fighting or getting beat up like in the old days." Old days...I thought to myself... "I sure hope so cutie. I love having you here but you do belong with your brothers." "I like being here too especially when you are around and call me cutie." He fainted a smile at me. Then he yawned. "I think I am gonna sleep now." He put his head on the pillow and I rubbed his belly some. After a minute he took his hands and put both of them on my arm that I was rubbing with. "No more Tommy. Thanks though." He held my arm for a bit and slowly seemed to drift off to sleep. I got up shortly after that and left his side and went to my bed. As I got in Shawn rolled over and looked at me. "Is he okay now?" I reached out to him and put my hand on his face. "He is better Shawn, but he is also nine years old living in a strange house with a bunch of boys he hardly knows. He is sleeping in a strange bed and for the first time without a brother around. So how would you feel my love?" He looked at me. "I don't know...weird I guess." "Weird is a fair answer so while you are laying there think about him and what has happened to him the past few days and then think about how easy you have it and stop worrying so much. I moved my hand down to his belly as he lay back down. Shawn I love you and you are here with me. He knows someone cares about him but there isn't a lot of love here for him yet. Think about that cutie okay? Think about how `weird' it must be for him now and put yourself in his place." I leaned over and gave him a few kisses all over and one nice one on the lips. "He doesn't have anyone to do that. Or say this... I love you Shawn. Now lets get some sleep." I ran my hand over his belly for a second and then put my head on my pillow. It got quiet. A few seconds later I heard Shawn sniffling and then he squeaked out `I love you TJ' and then we both fell asleep. To be continued..... Dwednomail@hotmail.com www.paddedroom.us
