  1. "I know it still needs a little work," Aiden said as he stood in front of the wide window, facing me, as I looked around the space and thought a little work was an understatement. It wasn’t that the building was completely run down, in fact, it was in great shape. From the outside it looked brand new. According to Aiden, Jake had been working on it, and remodeling some of the units. The unit we were standing in, however... had no walls. "What do you think?" "It’s a great building, Aiden." I s

    Conversing

    I dropped my head tiredly into my hands as I sat down on my bed. My thoughts and nerves were in turmoil as I wondered what was going on downstairs. I hated that I’d left Aiden there alone with his mother. Not that I would have been much help if I’d stayed. Aiden was to pissed off at me, for me to be any help. I probably couldn’t help even if he wasn’t mad at me, but still. I hated that he was dealing with this alone. It had been a while since Aiden showed up at our door, needing refuge, and as m
  3. He looked different. Bigger. Once upon a time, we were about the same size, but I guess I hadn’t gained as much weight back as I thought, even working out with Ryan. He still looked as good as ever. He had the same face I’d spent years fantasizing about. Only, since our brief encounter at the theater he’d developed a thin layer of whiskers covering his chin. I guess Nicky had finally gotten around to needing to shave. His hair was shorter too... and he definitely hit harder. But overall, he was

    Afterwards

    Nicky Davis returned the following weekend as promised, and just as Aiden promised, he didn’t sleep in our room. I’m sure he didn’t mind, though. That wasn’t Nicky’s last visit, either. Two weeks later, he was back again. When the visits continued after that, I slowly began to accept that my best friend wouldn’t be fading out of my life again anytime soon. The following months brought a lot of acceptance for me. It started when Dennis Gordon disappeared from school entirely. There were rumors
  5. Lying on the bottom bunk face down, I sighed as I folded my arm under my head to prop it up and faced the wall to keep some of the light out of my eyes. It was hardly past ten o’clock on a Friday night and I felt exhausted. The day had been emotionally draining more than anything, and it had left me with mixed feelings, mixed thoughts, and no sense of direction when it came to how I should sort through them. I let out a breath as I felt the one constant comfort I seemed to have return when Ai
  6. I switched hands; relieving my right arm of the grocery basket I was carrying, wishing that I had grabbed a shopping cart instead. But, I was halfway finished and didn’t see the point of grabbing one now. A glance at my watch told me that Aiden should be ready in another thirty minutes, and we could get going. It was six thirty on Saturday morning, and I was in a hurry to get out of town. It just so happened that I needed a few things first. Well, maybe I didn’t need them. I hadn’t exactly

    Decisions

    I glanced over at Aiden as we drove. I wasn’t surprised that he had dozed off. All of that hiking, and even when we weren’t hiking had been tiring. I almost felt bad about waking him up. But, I’d already run through the drive-through for fried chicken and now I was parking in front of the hotel. I pulled off my jacket after putting the truck in park and then reached back for my longer coat. There was no way that I’d be checking into a hotel with a big come stain visible on my pants. As it was

    Damn the pests

    “Owen!” Tony was knocking on my door. Actually, it was more like pounding on my door, but it didn’t make a difference at the moment. I’d been home for five minutes. After my little discussion with Aiden’s mom I came right upstairs and happened to walk in on Tony and Jake making out. When I didn’t so much as tease them about it, Tony assumed there was something wrong and he’d followed me to my room. And there was something wrong. The last two days had been so great; I’d probably spend the rest
  9. I guess I didn’t need any more of a hint that my boyfriend was mad at me than the one I got on Tuesday morning, after another restless night, when Aiden got into his mom’s car without saying a word to me. Sure, he’d looked in my direction, but only long enough to let me know that we would be taking some of that space that I’d been talking about last night. The satisfied look on his mom’s face after that exchange was almost too much, but I couldn’t just approach Aiden now. Not that I was just
  10. “What was that all about?” Aiden asked me. We had been in my truck for less than two minutes, I could still see Karen Knightly glaring at us from the rear view mirror, but I was hardly paying attention to her. My thoughts had already wandered back to Dennis Gordon as I wondered why he had called me. Unfortunately, I was so busy thinking about Dennis that I had no idea what Aiden was talking about. “What?” I replied. “That look you gave my mom.” I glanced in his direction, surprised t

    Dennis

    I looked out the window of my truck, at the large house in front of me. It was just as large as Reilly’s house, and it was in the same neighborhood. It was also exactly where I was supposed to be, according to the note that Jake had left with Tony. It was Monday afternoon, and my first day reporting for duty at the new job that Jake had assigned me. Jake wasn’t there yet, so that gave me a little hope that I wasn’t in the right place, but according to the address on the small piece of paper i

    Smother Me

    I never dream. They say everyone dreams, so I guess I was just one of the people who just didn’t remember his dreams. At least, I hadn’t dreamed anytime recently. I thought of sleep as the one time that I was at peace. My problems were always reserved for when I was awake. But then I had a nightmare. I won’t say that I remember every detail, but I remember enough. I was in the Gordon house. I was in Dennis’s room, lying on his bed. I couldn’t get up. I couldn’t move. And then Mr. Gordon
  13. I was late to my first class on Friday morning because I had taken the time to walk Aiden to his. But, I had also run into some other delays on the way. The first was Janie. She was alone in the hall, without her usual group behind her, so I was surprised that the bitch had the nerve to talk to me. "You know, it all makes sense now." Janie said, almost sweetly, as she detoured herself in my direction. "What’s that, Janie?" I asked coldly. But, as soon as I asked, I was sorry that I did.

    Betrayal

    I looked at Tony, questioning him with my eyes, wondering what I should do now. I was trapped, pinned under Adam’s scrutinizing gaze as he glanced back and forth between Aiden and I. Aiden had just noticed our unexpected visitor and he stopped in his tracks, as uncertain as the rest of us, but looked at me with definite concern. We both knew what this meant. Adam wasn’t stupid, and there was a very good chance that now Aiden wasn’t the only one who had been outed. And it scared the hell out o

    Stress

    Don’t worry. Aiden kept saying that. Each time was followed by a kiss. I liked the kisses. The words I could have done without. I was worried. I was worried about what Janie was going to do. I was worried for Aiden. I was worried for me. I was worried about what even one of us being outed at school would do to us. And it hadn’t even happened yet. But I had a bad feeling about it. Probably because I didn’t trust Janie. And why should I? The girl obviously had a screw loose somewhere. An

    Something New

    "This is a date?" I was still having trouble comprehending that, and I think Aiden was getting tired of laughing at me, because he cocked his head to the side and took on a serious expression. "Don’t you want it to be, Owen?" "Well…I mean, yeah, if that’s what it is, but when did you…how…what about…you're gay? Really?" Aiden went back to laughing then. "You didn’t know?" he asked. "No one said anything," I shook my head, "and I didn’t want to ask, I mean…hey, how did you know I wa

    Revelations

    You gotta love the drive in. Although, these days they don’t seem anything like the old movies would lead you to believe. At least this particular theater wasn’t. There were more families there than lust driven teenagers. Not including myself, of course. There were even a few older couples out with blankets and lawn chairs. It was another cold night, but not freezing, and something about the smell of popcorn laced with fresh air, an open sky and a huge glowing screen as your scenery does some

    Remembering Dan

    I knocked on Aiden’s door and waited. At first I thought no one was home, but then I heard shuffling from the other side of the door before it swung open. Aiden looked directly at me, a little startled. Obviously he hadn't been expecting me. "Owen. What are you doing here?" "Um, hi…I was thinking about catching a movie or something. I thought I’d see if you wanted to come with…but, if it’s a bad time…" A small smile appeared on Aiden’s face and he opened the door wider. "It’s actuall

    Dealing

    I followed Aiden through his front door as he flicked the light switch. As soon as the door was closed he pinned me to it, pressing his entire body against mine as he kissed me, locking the door at the same time. I went with it, wrapping my arms around his waist and parting my lips, inviting him in. Aiden slowly pressed his tongue forward, against mine, before pulling back, nipping at my bottom lip. I smiled at the playful look on his face and laced my fingers with his as he took my hand a

    Confrontation

    I think sleeping in until noon on a Saturday is exactly what a seventeen-year-old boy is supposed to do, especially when you have someone like Aiden sleeping next to you. I was learning quickly that Aiden was a cuddler. He wasn’t the type to roll away in the middle of the night no matter how warm to room got; he’d kick off the covers instead. And if I rolled away from him, he’d find me again in less than two minutes. Since I woke up first Saturday morning, I watched him trying to find me o

    Surprise

    "I can’t believe you didn’t tell me you were going to the dance. I mean, no one goes to those things! Lemmings do, but real people like us, do not attend school functions." This was Adam, shouting loud and clear through the portable phone as I lay upside down on my bed, Friday night, waiting for Aiden to finish with his shower. "It wasn’t exactly something I was planning, Adam." I retorted, "but I swear, the next time I become a lemming, I’ll ask your permission first." "You’d better." he

    Back to School

    As far back as I remember, my father used to go on one-week business trips, and every year around October he would take a vacation to go hunting. I looked forward to these trips of his, it meant he wasn’t going to be around to hover over me. Even when Chris and Tony were still around they looked forward to the same thing. It wasn’t that we hated our father; we just liked the freedom when he was gone. We still behaved ourselves of course; pissing off mom was never high on anyone’s priority lis

    Gossip

    I woke up, spooned against Aiden’s back, my morning wood pressed up against his butt. I didn’t stay long enough to savor it. I eased my hips away from his ass and away from danger. I was actually surprised to find him there. I knew that we were in the same position we had fallen asleep in the night before, but every other time Aiden and I had shared the same sleeping space, he always disappeared before I woke up. I couldn’t blame him for sleeping in, though. He had obviously had a rough ni

    The Long Day

    The rain had stopped by morning. The chill was still in the air, and the sky was gray, but it didn’t look like we’d have another downpour anytime soon. That was good thing, because I was looking forward to going hiking with Aiden. He wasn’t in the tent when I woke up, and I wondered if there would be any awkwardness between us after last night. I hoped not. But I also figured that if there was any awkwardness it would be my own fault. I knew that everything that had happened during the storm

    Faith

    Leo lived in a two-story house with a roommate. By the time Aiden and I arrived there was already a tapped keg and a few cars on the street. Aiden led the way in, not bothering to knock and I tried to take a good look around. It was actually a nice place with a wide living room and a huge sofa. I followed Aiden as he waved to a few people. Most of them were older, which didn’t really surprise me. I was actually starting to feel a little nervous, not really knowing anyone. There was music,
