Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 07:35:43 +0000 From: Tommy Evans Subject: Uriel and Jon: Growing Up Chapter 10 Adrian and I found ourselves sitting on my couch in just shorts and boxers after that long shower. We just sat there, watching TV. I'm sure he was thinking of how cool that shower was, I on the other hand was dealing with feelings. A big part of me really enjoyed that, and I really appreciated Adrian trying to make me happy. But, the other part of is still so attached to Jon. The thought about Jon popping into my head while I'm naked with Adrian really worries me. It means that even though I really care about Adrian, he is no jon. I still asked myself every morning when I woke up missing Jon, what does he have? What makes him so special? He's pushed me away so much, yet my heart and my mind wont let it go? Why? What was wrong with me? Was I obsessed? "Aaron, dude, your space outs are getting worse" Adrian pointed out. "Dude, I'm sorry. I really do need to work on not spacing out" "its okay dude. I was day dreaming too." "Dude, almost time to leave" I said excited. "I know I can't wait!" he told me. Our conversation was cut short by a knock on the door. I looked at my cell again. It was only quarter past 2. We still had 3 hours which meant it was probably my mom at the door telling us to finish getting ready or something like that. I walked over to the door and unlocked it. "Why was it locked?" asked Jon who was standing there looking at me kind of oddly. "Umm because we were changing? What are you doing here?" I asked. "Umm...your mom told my mom to send us over when we were all packed" he told me. "Okay, well uhh...okay" I said. I was still caught off guard. The fact that he was popping in and out of my house and my life just randomly was really making my life difficult right now. I allowed him to walk into the room and as soon as Adrian saw him I felt the room shake, not literally of course. But I did notice how they both glared at each other with a mild hatred in their eyes. I walked over to my dresser. I had a little microphone hidden inside a little box. I used it for whenever I wanted to know if someone came to my room or not. If someone were to look for it they would surely find it. The cool thing about it was that it sent the signal into a watch that I kept in another closet. I set it to record. I wanted to test these two before we left on the trip. "Well I got to go ask my mom something, I'll be right back. Be nice" I said. Adrian nodded his head in agreement. I slowly walked to the hallway closet to grab the receiver. I closed the door and listened up. I heard some movement. "Why the fuck are you always here. Don't you have a house?" I heard Jon ask. "We happen to leave in like 3 hours. Why would I be at my house" Adrian answered . "Don't fucking try to use your fake smart language." Jon snapped. "Uh I don't have to. Anything I say is too complicated for your little brain to comprehend" "What the fuck man. I'm starting to think Aaron's really fucking you" "Shit Jon. What possesses you to fucking say something like that. Don't you know Aaron? He's not like that" Adrian said. "O yeah, well I'm not sure. And either way, what if you drug him just so you can fuck with him" "Dude, stop being a sick fuck. You keep bringing up all this gay shit. Is it because you're secretly in love with Aaron" "no fuck no. Aaron. No!" "So then whats the big deal?" "There' no big deal. It just makes me mad to see you here all the time. I'm way cooler than you" "IF you were so much cooler than me, then wouldn't Aaron be hanging out with you more?" "No that's not how it works. See I don't want to hang with Aaron. He's not that cool anymore" "O yeah, I forgot. You like friends who have no future. Who like to use drugs and kill whatever little brain cells they have. Yeah those people are WAY cool" "Wow. Yeah you're so smart. Fuck I don't care. You can fuck with Aaron all you want" "I never said I was. But if we start then yeah I will. I'll enjoy it too" "I bet you will you fucking faggot" Jon said angrily. "Listen dude. I'm not fucking with Aaron ok. And just stop with the gay shit ok. I know things about you so if you make me mad, I'll tell your brothers so they can tell your mom" "Wow really. I knew it. And what shit? The drugs?" "Yeah the drugs" "O that. Shit ok. I'll be nice but just don't fucking get on my nerves" jon said. "I wont. As long as you don't get on mine" "So you like him? Does he know?" Jon asked. "Wow you still on that. Well No, he doesn't. not yet" Adrian said. I kind of caught a little bit of sarcasm in that. I think he was trying to confuse Jon. "Well I wouldn't tell him if I were you. He doesn't do that stuff. He would probably freak out and stop talking to you" Jon said. This really made me wonder why Jon was so weird. A minute ago he was angry about Adrian and I hanging, now he's trying to get information? What was the kid even thinking. "I don't know. I got to be honest. I'm thinking I'll tell him in florida. Like right before we leave" "I'm telling you dude. He's going to freak out. I know him better than you ever will" "I'm sure you do" "so then listen to me" Jon tried to convince him. "okay I will. But why. You don't like me, I don't like you" said Adrian. "Cuz if you keep Aaron busy, he won't bug me" "Dude, he doesn't talk to you regardless" "No. .. he does. You just don't know it. He looks for me sometimes. He calls and calls" "He does? What does he say?" "That he wants to hang out or something. I don't really answer" "O well that's cool. So...don't you have anywhere to go? Any last minute drugs you need to try?" Adrian asked. "Fuck you. I'm going to be laughing when you try telling aaron you like him and then he stops talking to you" "What if he doesn't stop talking to me?" "O I'm sure he will. Adrian, you just don't know him. You might think you do, but you don't" "Okay I'll take that into consideration. Thanks a lot Jon" Adrian said. "Yeah, anytime..." Jon answered angrily. This was my cue. I didn't want any more than that being shared. I hid my receiver again and then headed to the room. I slowly opened the door to give them time to settle down. "Um...is everything in place? Did you guys get into a fight?" I asked. "No, if we did Jon would be on the floor right now crying" Adrian answered. "wow, okay. If you say so" Jon said. "Aaron, can we talk?" Jon asked. "Sure? What up?" I answered. "not in front of losers" Jon answered. "Well, if you are trying to bogus to Adrian, let me tell you he's not a loser. He's got all the qualities to be a big time winner" I said comically. "Wow always with your stupid jokes. It's not about that. Its about us." Jon said. "What about us?" I asked. "Dude, in private" Jon repeated. "Dude, wow, I'll be in the game room. Meet me down there when you're done talking Aaron" Adrian said as he walked past me and patted me on the shoulder. "Yeah be there shortly" I said. When Adrian was out the room I sat on my bed. "Dude, are you and that ugly fuck dating?" Jon asked. "No. and Adrian is his name. and he is not ugly." I said. "He's not cuter than me" "He's got his own thing. And whos to say your going to stay cute. You're only 11. You could change. O wait, you already did." I said. "Wow okay you got jokes. Aaron dude come on lets not fight" "I'm not fighting. I'm being civil right now. Extremely civil. Just us, chilling." "Umm no because you know you want to go chill with Adrian" "I do, and I will in a few minutes. Anything else I can answer for you?" I said. "yeah, this" Jon said as he jumped up on me. He was on me this caused me to lay back on my bed. He pushed my arms down and he looked down at me. "What the fuck man. Get off me" I said. "Push me off. You got the strength" Jon challenged me. "Please dude, I don't want to hurt you" "You can't you wouldn't. I'm Jon." "If I throw you off you could get hurt" I said. "No I wont." "Jon, get off me dude. Please" "Why? What makes me different. I'm still me." "No. the real jon wouldn't be doing this. The real jon would have never done anything you do now" "So I'm a fake jon?" "You're just NOT the same one" "I can be. Just give me the chance" he said. I picked him up off me. Sat him down on the bed and slowly got up. "You've had plenty." "but dude. Come on. Adrian is nothing. He's not even gay" "Yeah, well he doesn't need to be. He's my bro Jon. No need to be gay for that" "I...I ..." he paused, " I thought I was your bro" he said. And for the first time in a while, I heard sadness in his voice. "yeah, you were." I said. It hurt to say it, but it was the truth. "What, well then I don't get it man." "Jon, you were. Past tense. You're not anymore. Whoever you hang out with now, those are your new bros. Me, I'm not. I'm sorry" I said as I turned away. I couldn't dare look at him in the eyes after what I had said. I had to walk away. "Thanks. Thanks for always walking away" I heard him say sadly. "No dude. I'm not walking away. I'm just giving you time to think. You clearly need it" I said. I slowly walked to the game room. I could not deal with it. The pure fact that I was getting sad was making me angry. Its hard to explain. But its because I want to be with him, I want to hold him, protect him, but he had betrayed me one too many times. And even though he's only a little boy, he was capable of making me feel so many things at once. But he was a little monster now. Yet, he needed me and what did I do? I walked away. That itself was making me sick to my stomach. The fact that I can't face him and not be mad. In a way I was betraying him too. I couldn't handle it. I felt tears coming. My body wanted to collapse, I wanted to cry so hard, I wanted to scream. My bro was on my bed, probably crying, or probably hating me more and more each day. I walked into the room, Adrian saw me. He got up and he came to me. "aaron, whats wrong?" he asked. I couldn't answer anything. I just cried. He hugged me. "Dude, its ok. Its just Jon. Its not your fault" he tried to help. I couldn't speak. I just cried. "Dude come on. Don't cry man. It makes me feel weird. Do you still care about him?" I nodded my head yes. That was the only way of answering Adrian's questions at the moment. He just looked at me, and frowned. I knew it hurt him. But I also knew very well that Adrian probably saw this coming. He's a smart boy. He knew that I loved Jon, or else he wouldn't have such a big problem with him. "Dude, Aaron...listen to me okay. We'll get through this. He's only a little eleven year old boy. He's got to grow up first. Then maybe you can fix your problem." Adrian told me. "Adrian, the problem is that I like you both. I want to be with you trust me. You're perfect. You try to help me even when it means dealing with Jon. You hold me and make me feel good. But I can't forget him either!" I finally said. "I know Aaron, I know. But just relax. Dude, we have a vacation to get ready for in a few hours come on. Relax" he said. "okay man, I will try" I said. Then, he got up and left the room. I wanted to follow him but I couldn't. I didn't know what to expect. I sat on the couch and just looked at ceiling. What the heck was I going to do? Then, I heard the door open again. I looked down. I saw Jon and in tears, and Adrian holding his arm. Adrian dragged Jon into the room and closed the door. "We have to fix this NOW" Adrian said. Neither Jon or I said anything. "You both have to get something straight. Your families are going to notice something soon if you don't get this shit worked out. Jon, you fucked up. We know this clearly, you know it too. Aaron, you have to realize he's a kid and he needs you more than ever. I know I was bogus jon but that's another level of problems. Before we can fix anything else, we have to fix the friendship. Weather there's going to be a good friendship or none at all" Adrian said. "Wow. Dude, chill." Jon said. "No jon. I don't know how long this has gone on for you guys really need to work it out" Adrian said. "Adrian, you're awesome except we don't know how. Jon, just, I don't know" I said. "Aaron I fucking said sorry" Jon said angrily. "Dude Jon, chill. If you want to fix this, say yes. If not just walk away" Adrian told him. Jon looked stumped. He stood there for a second. He looked confused. "I'm sorry Aaron ok. I fucked up" he said. He came to me and gave me a hug. Then, looked up at me. "I'm not your little brother anymore. I wont bother you. Stay out of my business" he said. Then he turned away and walked out the room. "Umm...well...I guess that's it then" Adrian told me. "I guess it is. Give him a chance, and he turns away" I said. "No, the weird part is that he was really sorry. Its weird. So he's sorry but he doesn't want to be close to you" Adrian said. "I don't get the kid. I really think drugs messed him up" "Well how much drugs was he taking?" "I don't know Adrian, I don't know. But he changed a lot. A whole fucking lot" I said. Adrian looked at me for a second. Then, he came up to me and hugged me. He pushed himself onto me, and I had him in front of me. He fell on me and now we were on the couch. He was on me. He kissed me. "I'm the one who's going to change YOU" he told me. "How?" I asked stupidly. "Forget him Aaron." "I'm trying dude. I swear" I said. "Well, try harder" he told me as he kissed me again. "Hm...well in that case I might" I said as I enjoyed his lips on mine. He started softly biting on my bottom lip. that's something that I hadn't really felt. It was crazy. It was sending new feelings and shocks through my body. "I'm not asking you to love me. That takes time Aaron. But give me the chance to be as important as Jon." "Adrian you are. You just got your own category. You're quite amazing" I said. "Well thank you sir" he said as he kissed me again. We kept the make out session going for a good while. He even started to do new things like massaging my hair, playing with my chest, and once in a while his hands would travel down to my waist, and once he even tried to massage my groin area. I stopped him before we got too carried away. "Down boy. Take your time. Don't bite more than you can chew" I said. "O damn it aaron. I can chew on anything." he said. "I know you can. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. that's what got me into the problems in the first place" I said. He sat back up. Now he was just looking at me. "that's true. I'm sorry. I just like you so much man" he told me. "I know what you feel. Can I ask you something?" I said. "Yeah dude anything you want" "Am I the first guy you like?" I asked. "Yeah you are." "That's probably why you feel these crazy urges. Because you cant explain to yourself why you like me" "Well, I kind of can. But yeah, being the first one to turn me on really does make the difference" "Well, I knew someone like that. The first dude I liked, I thought I was crazy in love with him. But I wasn't. so, that's why im taking my time. I want you to be sure." "Who was it? And thanks man. I appreciate it. I'm sure any other dude would have fucked me right away" "Any other gay dude yeah, cuz you're cute as hell." "Aaron, you're amazing" "Thanks bubbles, you're quite amazing yourself" I told him. Just then Jon walked back into the room with his brothers and my mom. "Hey, what you guys up to?" my mom asked. "Just chilling talking" I answered. "Okay well we're taking the luggage onto the limo. You guys can just chill here okay" my mom told me. "O. okay. All of us. Got it" I said. "Whats up dudes!" Max said excitedly. "All ready man?" Adrian asked him. "Yeah! I can't wait. Dudes, do you think I could stay with you guys in florida?" Max asked as he sat next to me. Jon and Kevin sat kind of away from us and pulled out their iPods. "Umm...yeah why not." Adrian answered. "Where are your bros staying?" I asked. "I don't know. My mom told me that they were staying in another room I think" Max said confused. "Well, that's nice. I don't mind. It would be fun" I said. "Sweet, can't wait. So what did you guys do all day I was busy day dreaming about how cool its going to be" Max said over excitedly. I just sat there and tried to calm down. I had to really pull myself together, I had to be able to deal with this. It's a freaking vacation, I couldn't spend the whole time worrying about what could happen. I mean obviously talking to Jon hadn't solved anything. "Aaron, are you mad?" Max asked. "No, just thoughtful. Can't wait" I answered. "I just thought Jon made you mad again. He's really good at making people mad" Max said. I looked over at Adrian who couldn't help to laugh. "Wow, okay, I see. Hate on me while I'm here" Jon said from the other side of the room. "I'm not hating dude. It was a funny statement" Adrian said. "Whatever cumbag" Jon fired back. "Damn, for an 11 year old, you are really messed up" Adrian said. "you guys going to be like this all trip?" Max asked. "What's it to you short ass?" jon asked. "I'm just wondering" the little guy replied. "No, they wont be like this. In fact they are going to be good friends by the end of the trip. Right Adrian?" I said. "Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry for laughing Jon" Adrian said. He gave me a look. "Thanks" I said. "I guess, for you I'll be nice" he whispered just loud enough for me to hear him . After that I turned on the TV and the three of us watched some cartoons while Jon and Kevin did their own thing. It was so odd how Kevin just followed whatever Jon did. It really didn't make sense. I mean without Jon around Kevin was a pretty cool kid, but you add jon to the mix and he immediately changes. o well. About and hour later my parents came into the room. "Time to go kids" my dad said. Max jumped up excited and literally ran out of the room. I slowly stood up and grabbed my back pack while Adrian grabbed his. "damn, dude, I can't wait" he said. "I know me either." I answered. We walked downstairs where we found my the adults sitting on the porch. The limo was pretty big. As I guessed, it was a Hummer limo. At this point I wasn't really all that impressed, not because I'm some stuck up kid or anything, its just after a while limo's really lose their coolness. Then I looked over at Adrian who obviously had never been on one. "O my god dude. I can't believe I'm about to be in a limo" he said. "It's not really all that fun. We just sit there. Its still a car" I said. "A really cool and big car" Max jumped in. ****************************************************************** On the way to the airport, which was about a 2 hour drive, Adrian, Max, and I sat on one end of the limo. Jon and Kevin sat exactly in front of us, and our parents sat as far as possible. They were drinking a little bit of wine and having a conversation between themselves. Since it was really hot outside we didn't roll down the windows, but Max kept asking if he could. "no dude, they wont even go down. They are locked" I said. "O man. I just want to wave hi to the people driving by" he told me. "Max, you are so funny. Well you can still wave, they just can't see you" Adrian laughed. "You got a point." Max agreed. "O man, just a few hours" Adrian added. "I'm glad you are excited because I'm still worried" I said. "Don't worry about my brother. He's a dork. You can still hang out with me" Max told me. "thanks a lot max. that really helps" I said. We kept a short conversation in the limo ride. Nothing too crazy. In fact it was mostly Max and Adrian talking while I kind of tuned out. I'd pay attention to the adults talking or sometimes I'd even stare at Jon. He would stare back but then he'd go back to his music and his cell phone. Here and then I'd jump back into the conversation with Max and Adrian so that they wouldn't think I was ignoring them or something. The truth is that I was very thoughtful. I was very confused about what was going on. Like I've been waiting for this moment, yet I've been dreading at the same time. Like I just want it to stop, just so that I can breath for a bit, and then keep going again. When we arrived at the airport entrance my parents did something really weird. They cornered all of us. "All right kids. We love you very much, but we're on vacation as of right now. We are going to need your cell phones" my mom said. "You will get them back when we go to the parks or when we split off. Other than that, your phones will be off and in our hands" Jon's mom said. "But...what if something happens. Like we need it for an emergency." Jon complained. "Jon, you're going to be with us, with the family, it's a family vacation. If you guys get free time, you will get your phones in order to be in touch with us" his dad replied. I looked at Adrian, shrugged my shoulders and turned my cell phone off. Adrian handed me his and Max just giggled since he didn't have one. "Umm...you guys are crazy" I said. "You know the drill aaron come on. We don't want you to be texting while we are having family activities" my mom said. "Fine fine" I said. My dad helped the driver load up our luggage and then we headed inside. The whole traveling thing was new to Adrian so he seemed to be a little out of it. I just guided him the whole way. We hung out for a while listening to music and just talking. I was starting to relax a bit more now. Jon really kept his distance from us, it was kind of weird, but in a way he stayed close enough to where his parents or my parents noticed that we weren't talking. When it was time to board the plane all of us got pretty excited. After all it was florida we were going to. Luckily, it ended up being Adrian and I alone in a row in front of Jon, Kevin and Max. although Max complained that he wanted to sit with us, he wasn't allowed to for some odd reason. "Aaron, I'm kind of scared. I've never been on a plane. Not a real one" Adrian told me. I could hear Jon behind us so I kind of whispered back . "Well, its not that bad." I told him. "Yeah it is, we're going to be thousands of feet up in the air man" Adrian said with a shaky voice. He had already buckled his seat belt in and was really holding onto the arm rest. "Dude just relax man" I said. Just then I felt something hit the back of the my seat. I figured it was jon. Max popped his head on top of us. "You guys I want to sit with you" Max said. "SIT down max!" I heard his mom yell. "Woops" Max said as he quickly sat back down. "Damn, poor kid. Has to sit back there with that ogre of a brother" Adrian said. "Hey now. Lets be nice" I said. We heard some fighting and then some screaming and eventually I heard Max crying. I wanted to look back but I decided not to. Since we hadn't taken off yet Jon's mom stood up and next thing we know she was yelling at Jon. "Jonathan! We haven't even taken off yet and you are already starting trouble. Why do you have to hit your brother all the time. He's smaller than you. Go sit up there with Aaron. And don't think your getting away with this again." she said angrily. "Mom! Why! Why can't I go sit up there?" Max complained in between his crying. "Because I can't see you up there honey. You're my baby and I have to be able to see you" she told him with those mommy voices. "Yeah, cuz you're a stupid little baby" Jon said. "Jon just go up there before I change my mind and make you switch places with your dad and you'll sit with me all flight long" she said angrily. "OKay cool your jets down" Jon said as he plopped down next to me. "Hi" he said with a smile. "umm...hi" I said. "Was that your plan all along?" Adrian said as he looked over at Jon. "No...pure luck. What, you don't want me to interrupt whatever you guys are doing to each other over here?" Jon said. "No, I just can't stand being around you" Adrian said. "Woah, whats with the anger" I said. "He hit poor little Max just so that he could sit up here and bug us. You know that's what he wanted" "No I didn't. I didn't know she would send me up here. It was just luck you know" Jon said. "Whatever it was. Just chill. Come on dudes. Its vacation time. Can't we like, pretend to like each other just for these few days?" I said. "really? Pretend? I don't know. I don't think Adrian has to pretend. I'm sure he likes you" Jon said quietly. "Watch what you say dude. Seriously its not cool" Adrian said in an angry tone. Just then the plane ladies started walking around asking everyone to buckle up and giving people pillows or whatever they needed. Take off was going to be shortly. There was something about planes that always relaxed me. The plane began to move and we were headed to the take off strip. Adrian was looking out the window and I was just lying back enjoying the ride. "Aaron, remember the last time we went?" Jon interrupted the silence. "Yes" I answered shortly. "Yeah, it was real fun. You, me, uriel...good times" jon said. "Yeah, good old days. O well. Life goes on" I said. "Well, yeah, but now we're going again so it can be new good times" said Jon. "right..." said Adrian out of nowhere. "You always got to put in your two cents don't you" Jon fired at him. "Yeah, I do because everything you say you say it to start something" Adrian fired back. "Wow man. Really you think I'm worried about you? Dude, I know Aaron better than you will ever know him" jon said. "O come on. Lets not start with that shit. Really man. Yeah you know me, you knew me, that's it. Ok we get it. But that doesn't mean we're friends again. So just back off and chill" I said. "O ok. I thought we were being nice. Guess not" Jon said as he put on his headphones again. There was silence after that. Adrian was just looking out the window and I was relaxing. Just then the plane started to pick up speed and the voice on the speakers was going through the whole spiel about what to do in case of emergencies and what not and then announced the take off. When I knew it was about to take off I quickly put my arm around Adrian. He just kind of put his head on my arm and closed his eyes. "Wow, way to be a pussy Adrian" Jon said. "SHut up jon" I said. "Well...I'm just saying. He's 14. I'm 11 and I'm not scared" "Yeah, well you're also not normal" I told him. "Of course not, but you would know that wouldn't you Aaron?" Jon said. "What are you talking about Jon?" Adrian asked. "We'll have plenty of time to talk about that later" he replied. "What the fuck man. Why you always got to be all fucking weird about shit. You're a fucked up little boy" Adrian said. "HEy, watch the language, my parents could hear us" I said. "Okay sorry. He makes me mad. I'm going to sleep" Adrian said. "Me too" I agreed. "Whatever" said Jon. I turned to Adrian's side and we sort of just laid back and I closed my eyes. I wanted to see out the window, but I figured I'd get a chance to do that later on or on the way back. I wasn't expecting Jon to sit right next to me so that was throwing me off too. But I figured if Jon was already next to me, at least he was getting his mean shit out of his system and maybe by the time we got to the house he wouldn't be such an ass hole. I fell asleep shortly after. When I woke up Adrian was completely knocked out and when I looked over, Jon was listening to music. He smiled at me. I didn't do anything. I turned around again and looked outside of the window. Man everything looked so small and green from up here. Out of no where I felt Jon's hand on top of mine. I looked over at him, gave him a weirded out look and pulled my hand away. "O my god" he said. "What?" I asked. "Nothing. Forget it man. You're just too mad" he said. "O yeah, ok" I said angrily. "Just forget it Aaron. Hold Adrian's hand if he's so much better than me" "OK sounds good" I said and turned around again. "Wow ok" Jon said again. I didn't know what he was trying to get at. I mean, I figured by now he was trying to tell me he noticed something between me and Adrian, but I didn't' care. I mean he didn't have to send me signals. I kind of dozed off again, but it was the kind of sleep that was so light you could wake up at any given moment. I was kind of just waiting for Adrian to wake up. But he was deep asleep, which made me fall into deep sleep again. I woke up when we heard a ding. It was almost landing time. I opened my eyes. Jon was still listening to music. But what surprised me is that Adrian and I were leaning in to each other and in a way we were holding arms. Jon looked disgusted. I shook Adrian a bit so he would wake up. "How long was I asleep for?" Adrian asked. "The whole flight" I answered. "yeah, you fags looked so cute sleeping all cuddly and shit" Jon jumped in. "you think so?" Adrian asked. "Yeah think so I know so" Jon replied. "Well that sucks." Adrian said in a very simple manner. It was like he was trying to make Jon realize that some of the comments being made were really not necessary. "Well, how long til we get there?" Jon asked. "I don't know. Maybe like 10 minutes if anything" I answered. "Cool. I'm tired of just sitting here. I want to swim and play and hang you know" Jon said. "Umm..yeah. That's cool" I said. It was all I could come up with. "I'm guessing you'll be hanging with Adrian..." said jon. "Uh dude you don't got to be all fucking emo. If you want to hang with us just do it, but don't act all shitty damn" Adrian said a little ticked. "I was just asking shit. Why do you always flip out on me. What are you on your period?" said on. "Why the heck are you even talking about a period?" I asked jon. "Cuz they happen and because Adrian does act like a girl sometimes. Like he's cool, and then out of nowhere he gets pissy" Jon answered. "I don't get pissy. Not just randomly. There has to be a reason" Adrian defended himself. "Dudes, both of you just chill okay" I said. "Well I try but this little shit thinks he's so smart with his stupid little comments" Adrian defended himself. "Umm..you said it yourself, little shit. He's little dude. He doesn't know much" I said trying to sort of defend Jon. "I know enough Aaron. I'm not a baby. You know that" Jon said. "Yeah, so I've heard." I answered. As the plane landed the three of us were too tired to keep arguing and to my surprise Adrian handled the landing very well. I guess he must have been too busy dealing with Jon and what not to realize what was going on around him. Half an hour later we were finally on our way to the house. "O my fucking gosh aaron! I feel so freaking awesome right now. We're in a freaking limo, in florida, on vacation" Adrian said over excited. "Yeah, wait til you see Aaron's house" Jon said. "How big is it?" Adrian asked. "Well Jon always said it was HUUUUGEEE" Max jumped in. "you haven't been there?" asked Adrian. "No...only Jon" Max said a little sad. "Yeah, back in the day, when me and Aaron were bfs" Jon said. "Bfs?" Adrian asked intrigued. "Best friends. You know. He brought me here." Jon corrected himself. "I figured. Well damn." said Adrian. The rest of the drive literally consisted of Max and Adrian ooing and aaahhing at the houses, the cars and the things around the area. Jon on the other hand seemed very thoughtful. The fact that neither of us had cell phones really was freaking me out. I mean we were all so used to using our phones when ever we felt awkward or out of place. At this particular moment, I wanted to be able to just text someone and get my mind to relax. I just didn't know what to expect from this. I mean once we got there, how were we going to sleep, how long could Adrian and Jon be semi-civil with each other, how long before Jon gets in trouble, how long until something stupid happens. When we arrived to the neighborhood where our summer house was Adrian's jaw dropped. "Damn you live in this hood?" he asked. "Since when are you gangsta?" Jon asked. "Since the day you became a fag" Adrian barked back. "So since the day I fucked Aaron?" Jon joked. "You fucked Aaron?" Max asked surprised. "No stupid it's a joke" Jon slapped him. "He wishes he did" I said. "O really? Well if I wished for it, I must have wished for it hard" Jon smirked. "Really can that thing even get hard?" Adrian asked. "O yeah, trust me" Jon smiled as he looked at me. "I don't think I can trust you" said Adrian. "Yeah, don't I can take anything from you. ANYTHING" said Jon. "We'll see about that" answered Adrian. It didn't take much to realize that Jon was talking about me. As much as I hated being called a `thing' I realized that I was now some sort of prize for them. A prize for 2 of the most gorgeous boys I had ever met. The final jaw dropper was when we pulled up to the house. I did have to say that it looked a lot better this time. I hadn't been here for a while and my dad did have some work done to it. It looked even cooler than last time. I was a little amazed too. "O my fucking god!" said Adrian pretty loud. Loud enough for my dad to hear him. I heard my dad laughing a bit from the front of the limo. "You got to be kidding me Aaron. Your dad changed it around" Jon said. "I see that. It looks super nice" I said. As the limo came to a halt, the doors opened and the kids flew out. We stood up front by the fountain just looking up. "I feel like I'm in a movie" Adrian said. "I felt like that the first time I came here" Jon said. "I can say im kind of jealous of you. I wish I'd been here before" "Yeah dude, it was a fun vacation let me tell you" Jon said. "I can imagine" Adrian answered. "Okay okay listen up. Here are the room assignments." my mom said. "What, we have assigned rooms?" I asked. "Only because we don't want all of you in one room making a huge mess." Jon's mom jumped in. "Listen. You two little monkeys will sleep in room marked with the little soccer ball on the door" my mom said pointing to Max and Kevin. "You three will sleep in the room with the blue doors" she said looking at me. "There enough beds?" I asked. "Well we kind of changed the room around and there's a bed and a futon. You could either take turns sharing the bed or make a bed on the floor" "um...yeah we could" I said. I looked over at Jon and there was kind of an evil/happy look on his face" "But ma! I wanted to sleep in Aaron's room" Max pouted. "Honey the room you are in is next to mine. Just in case you need me for something" his mom explained. "Okay I guess" Max said. "Okay go ahead roam the house, have fun. We're on vacation" my dad said as he grabbed some of the baggage and headed inside. I was walking and daydreaming about what was going to go down in this house. I figured since we were in the same room, it would probably lead to random fights and what not. After showing Adrian part of the house and after he said how amazing it was about a billion times we headed to the room. Before we got to it, I remembered I had forgotten something in the limo. I ran outside to get it. When I came back inside I figured I'd listen on onto whatever they were talking about. "Okay, so no arguing ok" Adrian told Jon. "No, I'm not promising anything. Don't piss me off man" Jon answered. "it's the only way we can really enjoy this man. Whats the point of arguing all the time." I heard Adrian try to explain. "There is no point. The point is that I don't like you very much. You're a friend stealer" "Damn Jon. Just so you know, when I came to be Aaron's friend you weren't even talking to him. I remember you came that one night with your ghetto crew to Aaron's house. He clearly said he didn't talk to you" "That was just a little argument we had. But we are friends. Our parents are friends. So you are a friend stealer" "O really? Well maybe if you took care of your friends more you wouldn't have this kind of issue" "I don't need to take care of Aaron ok. He's my bro" jon fired back. "funny, cuz he says you're not" "No, he's just mad. You know that deep inside he is my bro" "Just shut up man. don't piss me off. I got bed you got couch. And lets stop talking about this before he comes" Adrian told him. "Ok whatever" Jon said a little annoyed. I waited a few minutes before I finally walked into the room. I pretended to be a little out of air just to make it a little more believe-able. "Umm...awkward silence eh?" I asked. "no actually Jon did tell me he was going to be calm and peaceful" Adrian said. "O yeah. So peaceful" Jon teased. "Jon, why do you have to say it all weird?" Adrian asked. "Cuz you be making shit up. I'm not gonna fight with you I'm just going to say it now, I don't like you very much" Jon answered. "Okay thanks for telling me" Adrian replied. "Seriously? This is what its going to be like?" I asked. "Well, I guess" Jon said as he looked outside. He was avoiding my eyes. "Whatever. Hey Adrian lets go for a walk" I said. "Okay" he answered. He followed me and we headed outside. I took him to the backyard and he was utterly amazed. We kept walking into the tree area which eventually led to the beach. "O damn Aaron. This is all yours?" he asked. "No, well my house technically ends back where the trees are" "Man. How come you don't just move up here?" he asked. "Believe me man, I might. It would be so damn cool. But see then it wouldn't be as fun coming here for vacation. It would be the same thing every day" "That's very true. So umm...I'm sorry I can't be nice to Jon. It just, he keeps pushing my buttons" he said. "Its okay. I know how he is. Just keep it to a minimum. The less you argue with him, the less issues we will have while were here." We sat down on the beach. It was kind of weird how there was absolutely no one around us. It was freaking summer, and yet no one was at the beach. Partly because this was a residential kind of beach, not just everyone had access to eat, so in a way it was private. I noticed Adrian looking around and when he saw that no one was around he looked at me, then quickly jumped on me and pinned me down. He was looking down at me. "Hmm...finally" he said. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Just watch" he said. He let himself fall on top of me and his lips found mine. He began to kiss me. He was kissing me very passionately. The touch of his lips on mine was making me feel something that I hadn't felt in a while. His soft, warm, juicy lips were taking over mine. His sweet tongue was wrestling with mine. Our hands searched around our bodies. Mine found their way down to that gorgeous ass of his. My hand went under his shorts and I felt those two round melons in my hands. "O man Aaron. Lets fuck right now" Adrian said. "Shh...watch your language boy and it's a beach dude. A little risky don't you think?" I said. "that's what makes it so amazing" he replied. I kissed him to stop him from talking. I couldn't explain the taste of his awesome mouth. It was just great. It was something I missed doing. Out of the corner of my eye I saw max and Kevin heading this way. I quickly pushed Adrian off and lied back down next to him. "What the heck?" he asked. "Max and Kevin are heading this way. Don't want them to see us" I explained. "O sorry. I was just so into your mouth I didn't want it to end" The boys ran to us and I noticed Kevin didn't look to happy or was just out of it. "Sup dudes. What are you doing?" Max asked. "nothing just relaxing" I answered. "What about you guys?" asked Adrian. "o we just finished unpacking and now we're just relaxing hanging you know. And aaron, your house is awesome, the pool is awesome, the rooms are awesome" Max said excitedly. "thanks little dude I'm glad you enjoy it" I said. "Yeah, well who wouldn't" Kevin said. "I don't think I've heard you talk for a while" I joked. "I'm a quiet person" he answered. "yeah, he is... too quiet actually" said Max. "well, what are you guys going to do right now?" I asked. "Nothing. Just relax, we can't do too much because we are all going out for some fancy dinner later on today" max answered. "how'd you find this out?" I asked. "Because your mom and my mom told me to come tell you guys to get changed for the dinner" max answered in a funny matter. "How'd you know how to find us?" I asked. "I didn't. we walked around everywhere until we saw the beach and wanted to check it out. Lucky for us we found you" he replied. "This whole no cell phone thing can get tricky don't you think?" Adrian said. "well, if you think about it, back in the day no one had cell phones and people did just fine. Its just a matter of how we about things. If they tell us to be somewhere at a certain time, we better be there." I answered. "you got a point. Well lets go get changed" Adrian said as he pushed me. "Hey!" I complained as I started wrestling him. Next thing I know Max jumped in and Kevin just stood there. The three of us played around in the sand for a bit before we started heading back to the house. It was really funny the way Max acted around us. I liked that he saw life so simple. How I envy the way little kids view life. After about 10 minutes of just wrestling around Kevin reminded us that we had to go change. We stopped and began walking towards the house. Adrian and I headed to my room but not before getting a little scolding from my mom for getting there too late. "you guys were supposed to be changed about 10 minutes ago" she complained. "I didn't even know we were going somewhere. Where are we going anyway?" I asked. "Downtown disney for some food" she said. "O so what do we wear?" I asked. "Something nice. Not fancy, but not too casual. Something in between" she said. "Um...so button down shirt and jeans?" I asked. "Sure, just make sure it's a nice shirt" she said as she walked away. "OK, that makes sense." I said. We walked into the room to find Jon watching TV. It hit me. I had spent the first hour in florida without even thinking about Jon. I guess that was a good sign. He looked over at us and kind of frowned. I was confused. "Are you guys going to change?" he asked. "yeah" I answered as I noticed he was already changed. "Where were you?" he asked. "At the beach" I said. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked. "You would have gone?" Adrian asked. "Yeah, why not. We're here to have fun right?" Jon answered. "You are one trippy kid" Adrian told him. "Thanks" Jon smiled. Once again Jon had done a total spin on me. Was this a new plan? Or was he genuinely going to be nice? Adrian chose what he was going to wear and then he headed to the walk in closet to change. I didn't care. I changed right there. I did notice Jon look once or twice over at my direction. I was wearing a light blue button up shirt and some khaki pants, and Adrian was wearing a dark blue shirt with some jeans. We both looked nice. Jon was also looking pretty cute. He was wearing a red shirt with some khaki shorts and sandals. In fact the three of us really looked nice. If you really didn't know us we looked like family. But I mean people always thought Jon and I were brothers anyway. I decided to not keep giving jon the cold shoulder and I went to sit with him on the couch. Adrian followed, he did show signs of discouragement, yet he still followed. "Sorry" Jon said quietly. "its ok." I answered. "Yeah, dude I'm sorry too. I mean we should have fun. Its vacation" Adrian added. "We're cool?" Jon asked. "yeah" I answered. "yeah" Adrian answered as well. We changed the channel and we were watching this funny show. The three of us laughed a bit and soon enough Jon was asking me if I remembered some of the funny moments in our life. It was kind of neat. Adrian even asked questions and got involved in the conversation. It was nice to have a civil conversation with these two. Didn't happen too often so I figured I'd enjoy it. Before we knew Jon's mom came into the room and told us to head downstairs. When our mom's saw all 5 of us, Jon, Max, Kevin, Adrian and I, they both awwwed at each other. "You boys all look so cute right now. Pose for a picture" my mom said. All of us sort of whined but we knew the quicker we took it, the quicker the torture would end. To my surprise we all put our arms around each other and smiled for the picture. Of course I was in between Jon and Adrian, but it was still nice. "That's a keeper" my dad asked. "Yeah, I have to say all of them combined look like a killer mix. Watch out ladies" My dad joked. "Aaron, your still cute even if you're a little older than them" Jon's mom said. "Thanks, that makes me feel better" I joked. ***************************************************************** At the restaurant the Hosts had a hard time sitting all of us at one table so we had to wait for what seemed to be hours. By the time our table was ready my mom had already went out and bought a couple of things at the shops around the restaurant. We were surprised to find out that she had bought 5 matching disney world shirts, but in 5 different colors. It was sort of embarrassing to know that she was probably going to make us wear those things. It was actually a very delicious and fun dinner. There was something about being near disney world that made almost everything feel great. I have to say I really enjoyed the fact that we were like a big family. Even Adrian fit right in. he took part in almost every conversation with my parents and I. he even made Jon and max join in. it was as if everything was falling into place right away and it was happening so easy. There was just something about that boy that made things extra better. "So Aaron, what do you think we can do tonight?" Jon asked. "We could just play soccer or volley ball and swim in the pool" I said. "That would be awesome!" max jumped in. "What makes you think you're invited short shit" Jon barked. "Dang it" Max complained. "Just kidding. You can be on Aarons team. I'll school you" Jon smiled. There was the Jon I missed. He hadn't smiled in a while and it seemed like ever since we sat down to watch TV with him earlier today he was a smiling fountain. "bring it!" Max barked back. "Wait the teams will be unfair" Adrian said. "No, since Aaron is bigger, he will get Max on his team. You and I will be on one team and, I guess Kevin can be on Aarons team too" Jon said. "Three on 2? don't you think that's a bit unfair?" I asked. Now I didn't know if Jon was purposely trying to get close to Adrian to start something bad, but I also didn't want to think everything Jon did was bad. I mean there has to be some good inside of him still. After all he's only just 11. "Um...no because they are littler and they aren't as coordinated. I'm an athlete and Adrian seems to be an athlete too" Jon said. "I guess. Well, if you say so" Adrian said. "haha, actually Adrian's kind of lazy" I joked. "No..." Adrian complained. "Sure..." I said. "Okay maybe a little. But I'm still in shape" he smiled. O boy. Jon's smile plus Adrian's smile, I was going to be in trouble. "Uh, well round is a shape" I added. "A good shape. it's the most even shape around" Adrian said. "That's true!" Jon agreed. I noticed that there was more eye contact between Adrian, Jon and I, it was starting to worry me. Well, actually, I have to give it a chance. Maybe things wont be bad. I really hope so. My parents also were enjoying themselves very much. After dinner we walked around the many shops around down disney and even bought ice cream. I noticed a lot of people looking over at us because it seemed like my mom and jon's mom were on a mission to buy everything possible. They bought hats, shirts, shorts, some sandals, boxers, little things to decorate the house, photo portraits, and pretty much anything that they thought would make them remember this for years to come. Jon and Adrian were actually getting along really well, really fast and Jon was even allowing Max into most of the conversations. In fact we were walking in a weird formation. I was in the middle, jon and Adrian at each side, and then max and Kevin were closely in front of us. I did that so we could watch the little kids. At one point Jon even hi fived me and Adrian. When we were sitting down having a rest stop with all the bags we were carrying, Adrian came up to me kind of discretely. "I might have judged Jon too soon. He's actually really cool" he said. "I'm kind of shocked" I said. Jon was looking at something and wasn't paying attention. But I was watching him. He seemed to be having fun. It made me smile. "Yeah, I know. Me too. But hey, maybe without those jerks around, he actually lets the real person he is come out" Adrian said. "What about the weird things he tells you?" I asked. "I'm sure half of those things come from anger and jealousy makes you things that sometimes aren't true" "You're so smart Adrian. that's why you're the best" I said. "No, I'm beginning to see what made you care about Jon so much. In fact, I'm sorry for judging you about that friendship. He does seem to care about you" "I know, he just has one really weird way of showing it" I smiled. Just then Jon came back and sat next to me. "Damn it, I want to buy this awesome shirt that says `I'm with stupids' and has arrows pointing to my sides so that if I walk in between you guys it will look funny" he said. "But we're not stupid. In fact we're way smarter than you" I joked. "Hey, can't I have one moment for me. Gosh." Jon complained. "I guess. Well why didn't you buy it?" I asked. "I didn't bring my wallet." "And your mom wouldn't buy it?" Adrian asked. "No, she would have said that's too insulting" he complained. "O sheez. Well, umm...aaron you should buy it for him" Adrian said. "Yeah, I should. But I didn't bring my wallet either" I said shyly. "What, well then we're going to have to settle for the pink shirts my mom just bought us" Max jumped in. "Your kidding!" Jon complained. Sure enough here came the moms with pink shirts. All 5 of us kind of sank into the bench. There was no way we were going to wear those things. "Here you go boys" my mom said as she handed each of us a shirt. Each shirt was the same color but said something different. Mine said sexy, Adrian's said handsome, Jon's said cute, Max's said adorable, and Kevin's said loveable. None of us liked our shirts, but to please our moms we agreed to wear them back at the house and only on vacation. They laughed and seemed pleased about this. "ha, why does yours say sexy. You're not sexy at all" Jon laughed. "Yeah well yours says cute. It should say angry" I fired back at him. "I'm not always angry" Jon complained. "Umm yeah you are" Max said. "I am?" Jon asked sort of surprised. "Yeah you kind of are. Well you're being awesome right now, but before, and back at home you were really bitchy" Adrian said. "Woah, whats happening" Jon said. "good question" I said. "Well, whatever. Lets no think about that. Lets go to the limo. I'm tired" Jon said. "Good thinking" Adrian said and they both lead the way back to the limo. Max walked next to me and kept small talk. I liked answering his questions. They all seemed to be so simple, yet they meant so much to him. Little boys, they are so cute. ***************************************************************** Once we were back at the house we sat in the backyard for a while just relaxing and drinking pop. It was nice to just chill and talk in a group. Even though max and Kevin weren't really our age, or well actually none of us really were the same age, we still had a very interesting talk. It included anything from past experiences to our future, to food, to things we wanted to do, and well pretty much anything a boy would think of. I don't know what it was, but something about being with these little guys made me change the way I acted. I wasn't 18 anymore, I was somewhere around the range of 15, and 12. "I say we change into swimming shorts. I wan to swim" Max said randomly. "yeah that's actually a very good idea." Jon agreed. "Woah, I could get used to this. My brother agreeing with me" Max laughed. "yeah, well I'm on vacation. So enjoy it. At home I'm still going to beat you" Jon said with a smirk. "Hey, now. that's not nice" I told him. "Don't worry I'm kidding" he told me. The cool thing about being at the house was that once we were there we really had freedom to do anything we wanted. As long as we were in range of the house we had permission to do just about anything. In the room, Adrian took some shorts and headed to the bathroom to change. "I'll change in here" he said. I grabbed mine, looked at Jon, and I knew there was no point in hiding anything so I dropped my pants and boxers and put on my swimming shorts. He sort of looked away, but still I saw him look. I didn't make anything of it. Then he turned around, dropped his stuff too and put on his swimming trunks. All I got to see were those awesome pair of cheeks he has on his bottom. It was still one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. I sure did miss him like that. "Aaron can you tie the knot for me. But not too tight because remember sometimes it gets stuck" he said. "sure I said" I headed towards him. I was on my knees adjusting his shorts when Adrian opened the door and walked into the room. "This really isn't what it looks like" Jon said with a smile. "I figured...mine need adjusting too" Adrian said. "Gosh, you kids. Can't you do anything" I complained. I said it in a joke kind of way. "No that's what we got you for right?" Jon smiled once more. "Exactly. Nice thinking Jon" Adrian said happily. I adjusted Jon's trunks properly and gave them a nice little tug to make sure they would stay on. He thanked me by giving me a quick hug. That really shocked me. Then he ran out the door. "Now that I think about it. I think you two are really cute brothers" Adrian said. "Umm...so are you and me" I said. "Yeah, but you two just, I don't know. You just fit together" Adrian said. "Yeah I guess. We have good brother chemistry" I said. I fixed his trunks quickly too but not without noticing the great body he had. It was so perfect. I guess you could really say that Jon's body and Adrian's body were almost exactly the same. The only difference was that Adrian was just a tad taller, and definitely more mature. In fact I could really see the outline of his balls on the shorts he was wearing. "Wow, those shorts could be a little revealing dude" I said. "Don't worry. You can have it all later on tonight" he said with a really devilish look on his face. "All? I don't know if I can handle it all" I joked. "You can always try" he said. I had a flash back of the first time Uriel and I messed around in that room. It actually happened under the same circumstances. While jon was away, uriel talked me into doing things. But I knew that this time around it was too risky. With Max, Kevin and even Jon being more cautious, we could get caught and I don't want to deal with something like that. "yeah, well we're going to have to just wait and see" I said. Once we were all down in the pool area and after we posed for more pictures we finally started playing. We started with a simple game. A game jon and I had created a while ago. Water soccer. It was awesome. Jon and Adrian did make a good team. In fact they really gave me a hard time even with Max and Kevin on my team. Because they were kind of short, they had a hard time swimming across the 5 foot area of the pool. In fact they stayed mostly against the wall. They were still learning how to swim. That meant that I had to do most of the work. But toward the middle of the game, when we were tied, things started to get a little physical. Adrian was bumping into me more than he was doing in the beginning, and Jon didn't want to say behind. He too started bumping into me. "you know, that's not fair aaron youre much bigger than us" jon complained. "Just tackle him harder" Adrian advised Jon. "Good thinking" Jon said. The next time jon had to take the ball away from me, he tackled me pretty hard. But we ended up holding each other in the water so that we wouldn't go too far away and there was starting to be contact in places where maybe there shouldn't be. Adrian was doing it too, but he was so busy trying to hide it and so busy trying to play tough that he wasn't noticing when Jon did, and jon didn't notice when Adrian was doing it either. It was kind of amazing. By the end of the game, I had been groped by both jon and Adrian a good 6 times each. Each time it got more intense too. But the fact is that jon had more experience with flirting so really, my attention was getting really messed up. At this point I didn't know who was turning me on more, but I did know that the feeling of hate, and dislike for Jon was quickly fading. Lust was starting to settle back in. After 5 games, all which my team won, but only barely, we sat down on the edge of the pool. Max and Kevin headed out to the sand area to make sand castles. "Adrian, I'm sorry about the things I said. Really dude, aaron is not gay" Jon said. "Woah! You told him I was gay?" I asked. "I was mad. I wanted him to stop talking to you" Jon said shyly. "Yeah, I knew you were lying Jon. Don't sweat it" Adrian said. "I'm not gay either. So don't even think that" Jon said. "I never did. I just thought you were jealous and you'd do anything to get me away" "Umm...yeah. I am jealous dude. Aaron and I were like super bro's. and I fucked up" Jon said. "Just a tad" I said. "Jon, drugs are no joke man. Really. They could mess you up" said Adrian. "Not to mention they could make you lose your friends" Jon said sadly. "You didn't lose Aaron. He's still here with you isn't he?" Adrian asked. "yeah, but its not the same" Jon said as he looked truly sad. "O man. You're going to make me sad dude. I thought we agreed to have fun" I said. "I just feel bad. I miss this man. I miss having fun with you. All we do is fight" Jon said. I could see tears forming. "Shit. Aaron give the kid a hug" Adrian said as he pushed me towards Jon. "O man. Bro I'm still here. I was mad. But I can't be mad you know I love you" I said as I hugged him. For a whole 5 seconds a felt Jon grip onto me like he hadn't done in a while. When he let go he smiled really big and wide for a split second. "O man. That was cute. Kodak moment" Adrian said. "Dude, and also all that gay shit I said, for real its all lies dude. I'm sorry. I was fucking pissed." Jon assured Adrian. "Yeah, I understand. Same with me. I was pissed too." Adrian said. "yeah, dude. I mean, you know, anger makes you say stupid stuff" Jon was trying so hard to take back the things he said. It was funny because Adrian already knew what was up, yet he was giving Jon a chance. that's why Adrian was so great. "Of course dude. Its all good. We're good for now. Just stay cool like this. You're cool when you're peaceful" "Group Hug" Jon said. "hahaha. that's gay" Adrian laughed. "But sweet" I said. "True. Lets hug" Adrian agreed. Just then my mom came out of nowhere. I guess she felt the need to catch this moment. She actually got a really good picture of the three of us. I was amazed at what this weird day had brought. After that we noticed it was kind of late and we were tired. Flying in, eating a lot, being in the hot hot hot florida weather, playing in the pool, and of course going through the emotional roller coaster, we were all beat. We took turns taking showers, and to my surprise Adrian didn't even try to do anything. He was truly tired. Once we were all showered we sat on the couch to watch a little TV. It was quiet. But not a bad quiet. It was a comfortable, we're too tired to talk quiet. I was in between the two of these truly amazing boys. Couldn't believe that for a while I had forgotten how cute and loveable Jon was. In fact I had my arms around both of them. We watched Tv like that for probably 2 hours before our mom's came to say good night. "So who's taking the futon?" my mom asked. "Umm...I don't know." I said. "I think we can all fit in the bed" Adrian suggested. "yeah, its pretty big" Jon said. O boy, this was going to be complicated, I told myself. "Good, well you can try it I guess. I'll prepare the futon anyway just in case" she said. She moved us off the couch and made a quick comfortable bed on the futon while we prepared the other bed. Jon's mom joined her and they kissed us all good night and then left the room. "You guys sure about this. It could get tight" I said. "No, dude. Its good. Remember we used to always do this" Jon said. "Yeah I guess. Well keep your hands to yourselves" I joked. "Duh. Eww. No gay shit" Adrian laughed. "O hell no. that's nasty" Jon laughed. The weird thing is that both were actually convincing when they said this. We jumped into bed and of course I had no choice, I was in the middle again. We lied face up, all of us. No one turned no one hugged anyone, I guess we all thought in our heads that the best way to avoid problems was to sleep that way. "Well good night dudes" I said. "Night. Cant wait til tomorrow" Adrian said. "Me either" Jon said. With that, silence took over. In my head I went over what had happened today. The day started off seriously awful with the tension between Jon and Adrian. In fact we were truly scared about the outcome of sharing a room with Jon, and hanging out with him. But I guess that's the beauty of young boys, they can dislike someone one minute, and be totally cool with each other the next. I was thankful I guess. I also realized that I had, once again, two great, cute, adorable, huggable, sexy boys next to me. Each had something to prove, each wanted to be the one in my life. But to be honest, I was flat out confused. I felt as if this was tougher than the decision between Jon and Uriel. This could be the hardest thing I ever had to deal with. But the cool thing is that as hard as it was to deal with, it was also the most amazing thing to go through. Having them both next to me, and not being engaged sexually with either one, just enjoying their company, It was enough to make me happy for days. Eventually I heard their breathing relax, and then after a few minutes, they both ended up turning towards me and hugging me. Adrian had his arm around my waist, and jon had his arm around my chest. I had two little warm bodies holding onto me. It deeply relaxed me and before I knew it, I had my arm around both of them, and I fell asleep. ______________________________________________________________ Thanks again for reading. I had such trouble writing this chapter because relieving these moments in my head really made me struggle with the emotions. I'm just glad I fought through it and wrote it down to share. I know that it's a little long and kind of drags, but I hate leaving things out. I will hopefully have the next chapter up soon, although I can't say how soon. Please keep the comments coming. I love reading emails from my readers. Thanks again, Tom. Tommy199212@hotmail.com
