Watergame - 15. Chapter 15

Calvin and Jim woke up Saturday morning, both feeling amorous. They had made a mutual decision a week ago to refrain from having sex until their Wedding night. Tonight they would enjoy some beautiful sex together, as husbands. Jim headed to the kitchen and started coffee, and while the coffee was brewing he and Calvin shared a shower together.

By the time Jim and Cal finished their shower, the boys were up and ready to share one together. Jim and Cal came out of the shower without turning the water off, and the boys entered. While the boys showered, Jim and Cal shaved. Jeff had shaved the night before. Julian grows almost no facial hair and didn’t feel a need to shave. The only thing Julian grows on his face is a pencil line moustache that requires a trim about once a week.

The four men sat around the table, all still naked, and enjoyed the coffee and some cinnamon rolls together. Rather than preparing breakfast, Jim and Cal decided to take the boys to Denny’s for brunch, and then they would all go to the meeting room about 1:00 PM for the big occasion.

After finishing their coffee, they all headed to the bedrooms to dress in the tuxedos. Jim and Cal packed an overnight bag to take to the Hotel after the wedding. The four men all checked each other out in the Tux’s and agreed that they all looked handsome. Cal and Jim produced small boxes, containing the rings, giving the appropriate boxes to J&J, the boys stuffing them into their pockets.

They drove separately to Denny’s, as Jim and Calvin would not be returning to the house today. The server at Denny’s, noting that they all wore identical Tux’s, asked if they were part of a Wedding Party, and Cal proudly explained that he and Jim were the Grooms, and the boys were the ring bearers. She smiled.

At the Meeting room, Elaine and Sasha, wearing almost identical suits that closely matched the color of the guys Tux’s, were doing their duty of introducing some of the guests. Until today, Charles and Lydia Wilson had never met any of the Ashley family, aside from Jim. Sasha and Elaine introduced the Wilson’s to Gerald and Angie Ashley, and to Bill and Elaine Parks. The groom’s parents quickly formed a small group and got to know each other a little.

Most of the guests were coworkers of Jim and Calvin’s, and their spouses. The only actual family members were Cal’s Mom and Dad, and the senior Ashley’s, and of course, Cal’s sister, Sasha and Jim’s sister Elaine and her husband, Bill Parks. Sasha, Elaine, Jeff and Julian are all part of the wedding party.

Bill Parks had a camera hanging from his neck, and planned to take some wedding pictures. Sasha and Elaine hadn’t considered a photographer, so Bill’s camera was a welcome sight. Elaine and Sasha had moved a banquet table to the back of the room, and had placed the cake, punch bowl and the snacks on the table.

It is a meeting-room and contained a podium, which Pastor Scott spotted and quickly made use of, placing it at the front of the room. Unlike a church, there is no organ, but Sasha had brought in a boom box, to play some music. She and Elaine had decided against playing the traditional Wedding March, and had found an instrumental version of Debbie Boone’s ‘You Light Up My Life’ which they both thought to be quite appropriate for the occasion. It was actually more appropriate than either of the ladies realized, as that song had so much meaning to both Jim and Calvin.

As Sasha was going to be giving her brother away, she asked her Dad to operate the boom box, and play that song during the procession. J&J assumed seats together in the front row of chairs, right in front of the makeshift alter (the podium), where Pastor Scott had taken his position. IT WAS TIME!

Charles fired up the boom box, started the music, and Elaine took her brother’s left arm in hers, and started to walk him down the aisle, both of them stepping in time to the music. Five feet behind, Sasha, holding Calvin’s right arm followed suit. The two ladies presented their brothers to Pastor Scott, the men instinctively held hands, and the ladies stood by them, on the outside. Pastor Scott, when the music was turned down, started the ceremony.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to witness the love and commitment of two loving souls to each other, in the bonds of holy matrimony. In all honesty, this is my first time to officiate in a ceremony that is a little different than any I’ve ever done in the past. If I mess up, please forgive me. Let us pray."

"Heavenly Father, we bring before you today, two loving individuals that care and love each other enough to want to spend their lives together as a loving, married couple. Please guide them, and protect them, as they embark on their journey together, as a single entity with your love. We ask your blessing, in the name of your loving Son, Jesus Christ. Amen."

"Do you, Calvin Wilson, take James Ashley to be your wedded husband, through sickness and health, for richer or poorer, to honor and love, until death should tear you apart?"

"I do!" Cal exclaimed.

"Do you, James Ashley, take Calvin Wilson to be your wedded husband, through sickness and health, for richer or poorer, to honor and love, until death tears you apart?"

"I do." Jim replied.

"Do we have rings?" Pastor Scott asked, and J&J quickly approached the men and the pastor, both boys pulling the little boxes from their pockets. Jeff handed the ring to Calvin, and Julian hand his ring to Jim. "You men may place the rings on each others fingers." Calvin placed the ring on the third finger of Jim’s left hand, and Jim slid the ring on Calvin’s finger.

"The wearing of these rings," Pastor Scott said, "shows the world that you are committed to each other, and indicates that you have accepted the responsibility of marriage, from this day forward." Calvin and Jim both smiled at each other.

"Under the statutes given me by this state, and the laws of this nation, and with God’s blessing, I hereby pronounce you, Calvin, and you, James to be lawfully married husbands, to have and to hold from this day forward. You may kiss each other."

Calvin and Jim held each other tightly, and shared a romantic kiss, while the guest’s all cheered. Most of their coworkers offered congratulations, the men shook hands with both of them and some of the ladies gave both of them kisses.

Lonnie, shaking both of their hands, "I’m very happy for both of you, are you going to change your names?"

"As a matter of fact," Cal said, "we’re both assuming the last name of Ashley-Wilson. Thank you so much, Lonnie, and thanks for coming."

"Cal, Jim," Elaine stated, "You guys need to cut the cake!"

Bill had the camera close, and got a good picture of the newlyweds, both men cutting the cake, and feeding each other the first bite. He asked them to pose, the newlyweds in the center, with their sisters, next to them and the boys on the ends. He took another photo of just the four men in their matching Tuxedo’s, the boys in the center and the Uncles on the ends, all of them with arms around each other’s shoulders.

Calvin, catching up with Pastor Scott, "Pastor, what do we owe you for your services?"

"Just feeling the love you two guys have for each other," Pastor Scott said, "is all the pay I need, or want. It’s proof to me, that love between members of the same sex can be just as strong and close as love between opposites. I love you guys." Pastor Scott gave both Calvin and Jim a loving hug. "I’m really glad that God doesn’t discriminate, like so many humans do."

A couple of the guys from work sneaked outside "for a smoke" and while out there, decorated the back window of Calvin’s car.

"HEY EVERYBODY!" Calvin called out, "On behalf of my loving husband and myself, I’d like to thank you all for coming to help us share this most wonderful occasion with us. I want to offer a special Thank You to our beautiful and thoughtful sisters, Elaine Parks, and Sasha Wilson. Without their expertise, we would have had no reception or even a Wedding Cake! Ladies?" Sasha and Elaine approached Calvin and Jim, and both ladies received warm and loving hugs and kisses from both of their brothers.

"I’VE BEEN INFORMED," Jim announced, grinning, "that the punch may have a little kick to it, so you may not want to consume too much of it, especially if you are driving after you leave here today. Jeff, Julian, there is punch in that pitcher that is legal for you guys to drink." J&J both scowled at Jim, and they knew they would find a way to sample the punch from the bowl!

The guests all made their way to the table and filled their plates with the snacks that were there, and got glasses of punch and, of course, a piece of the wedding cake.

About 4:00 PM Calvin and Jim prepared to leave for their night in the city. They told everyone goodbye and walked out to Cal’s car.

"Fuck!" Cal exclaimed, "Somebody got us!" They couldn’t help but notice the foot high lettering on the back window, the letters formed from tape in all the rainbow colors, announcing ‘JUST MARRIED!’ The newlyweds grinned at each other, hopped into the car and took off. All the way to the city, passing cars honked horns at them, and stuck their fists out the window with a thumb up. One car, with four guys in it, showed them the bird, and yelled ‘FAGS’ as they passed. Jim and Cal just ignored them.

They arrived at the Marriott and went to the front desk to register. Calvin had reserved the Bridle Suite in his name. The desk clerk informed them that the Bridle Suite was only for newly married couples and Calvin told him that they had just gotten married about four hours ago, and he asked for proof.

"I think we have proof," Calvin stated, "just look at the back window of our car." The desk clerk stepped outside, and saw the signage, in gay colors, and returned.

"Okay," he grinned, "you guys win. Enjoy your first night together as husbands! I think this may be the first time we’ve rented the bridle suite out to a gay couple!"

Calvin parked the car in the parking deck, backing it in so the signage wouldn’t be too noticeable. Neither of these men had ever been in a bridle suite before, and it was lovely.

Before retiring for the night, the pair enjoyed an excellent and romantic dinner in the hotel dining room, complete with four glasses of wine, each. They’re not driving anywhere, so who cares if they get a bit intoxicated.

After dinner, they wrapped their arms around each others waists and walked each other to the elevator, rising to the top floor. Then entering the bridle suite. In just about two minutes, both men pulled each others clothes off, and stood, naked and facing each other about five feet apart.

"God, babe," Cal stated, "In all of my life I’ve never laid my eyes on such a beautiful man! I can only imagine what I could do with that body!"

"You’ve evidently never looked at yourself in a mirror," Jim replied, "there is no way I can resist touching your beautiful body, and whatever your body wants, this body will give to you."

"I can’t believe my fortune, that I was lucky enough to win your love, and have you for my own, my very own, I love you so much, Mr. James Ashley-Wilson!"

"Can you even imagine," Jim said, "how proud I am to have your name as mine? James Ashley-Wilson, it just sounds so beautiful."

"It sure does," Cal replied, "just as beautiful as Calvin Ashley-Wilson, I’m really happy that we decided to combine our names, they sound so wonderful together!"

Cal quietly pulled the covers back and pushed Jim down onto the bed, and snuggled in beside him, holding Jim like he would never let him go. These two men have always loved the feeling of their bodies entwined, but tonight it seems especially nice.

"Baby, do we have supplies—for sex?" Jim asked.

Cal, reaching into the bag, and pulling out a bottle of lube, "You mean this? It was the first thing I packed!"

"It’s been a long day, babe," Jim said, "we don’t HAVE to have sex tonight."

"Yes we do!" Cal exclaimed, "We’ll never have another chance to have sex on our Wedding Night!"

"Calvin," Jim said, "Make love to me, please, I want to feel you in me, my hole is throbbing with desire!"

"Can we leave the lights on?" Cal asked, "I want to be able to see your face, while I’m in you."

Calvin raised Jim’s legs up, and onto his shoulders, and started to lube Jim’s orifice, using his fingers to expand Jim’s pucker, then lubed up his own excited and completely erected cock. These two men have been monogamous for nearly three years, and quit using condoms a long time ago, right after they got tested and were both clean, about two years ago.

Jim had learned how to push out, while Cal entered him, nearly eliminating any pain, just a slight twinge as Calvin’s head slipped through Jim’s sphincter, and it was all pleasure from there on. There was likely nothing sexually that felt better to Jim than to feel Calvin inside his rectum. He secretly wished he could keep Calvin inside his ass 24-7, knowing it might just make him walk funny.

Calvin knew exactly where Jim’s sweet spot was, and always brought Jim to orgasm, and had also gotten really good at holding his own climax back until he knew Jim was nearly ready to cum.

They usually both came within about 30 seconds of each other.

These men are versatile, and sometimes switch roles, which keeps them from getting into a rut. Neither of them have virgin cunts, and sometimes they just enjoy some oral sex for a change.

Cal likes to watch the expression on Jim’s face when he fucks him, and Jim’s expression let’s Cal know just how close he is to his orgasm. Cal tries, mostly successfully, to bring them to orgasm simultaneously.

Tonight was perfect, just as Jim shot his load between their abs and stomachs, Calvin emptied his sex into Jim’s bowels. Calvin collapsed on top of Jim, squashing Jim’s massive load between them. They shared a passionate kiss and hug, and Cal tried to stay inside of Jim until he just became too flaccid, and slipped out.

Jim tried to keep his ass cheeks closed until he could make it to the bathroom, and let his bowels drain. Then the two men returned to the bed, which had some residue on the sheets from their activity. No problem, they’ve been there before, and they can shower in the morning. The two men snuggled together and fell asleep, for the first time as happily married husbands.

By 5:00 PM people back in Summerton were leaving the reception and heading home. As J&J would be at Jim and Calvin’s house, and nothing was planned for dinner, they gathered up some of the snacks to take back to the house to munch on later that evening. With Elaine’s permission, they poured some of the spiked punch into a jug to take with them, planning to maybe get a buzz before they went to bed that night. Typical Teens, well, Jeff is now twenty but Julian is still nineteen.

J&J arrived back at Jim’s house a little after 6:00 PM, and soon were watching a movie, sitting on the sofa naked, sipping on the punch and periodically munching on the snacks. Oh yes, they sipped on that punch! By 9:00 PM the punch was gone, and the boys were feeling no pain. They staggered to bed, and both were too buzzed to even have a desire for sex. They both had to get up once or twice during the night to pee.

Sunday morning, Jim and Calvin rose and took showers, just getting out of the shower together when room service brought their breakfast to the room. Looking through the peephole, it was a dude, so they just opened the door and let him in. The guy sat the breakfast down on the table, glanced a few times at the two naked men, seeming to enjoy seeing their cocks, grinned and took off.

"He’s one of us," Cal said, "did you notice how he enjoyed looking at our cocks, the poor kid is probably gonna be drooling the rest of the morning."

Jim snickered, and agreed, "Did you notice how quickly he tented his pants?" Jim commented, "I’ll bet he’s in a rest room right now, rubbing one off!" Jim and Cal enjoyed their breakfast in the nude, and then dressed and prepared to leave, as checkout time is 11:00.

They arrived home about 1:30 PM and discovered both boys still in bed, sleeping. Cal picked up the empty jug, and sniffed it, and could tell in had an odor of alcohol.

"I have a feeling," Cal said, grinning, "that our ring bearers got tipsy last night, that’s probably why they’re still sleeping."

"I think we need to wake them," Jim said, "they have to go back to campus this afternoon." Jim walked into their room and gently woke them, telling them it was nearly 2:00 PM. A couple of minutes later the boys wandered out to the kitchen.

Julian, sitting at the table, "Ooooh! My head hurts!" and he held his head in his hands. "I could sure use some coffee."

"Me too," Jeff said, "Got something for a headache?"

"Coffee coming up," Jim said, as he started a pot to brew.

"I think I understand your hurting heads," Cal said, grinning, "How much punch was in that jug you guys brought back?"

"It was pretty full," Jeff replied, "we didn’t plan to drink it all, but it was like every glass called for another, and then it ran out."

"It’s a wonder you guys didn’t pass out and piss in the bed." Jim said, "or did you?" The two boys glanced at each other, and Jim poured them mugs of coffee.

Jeff, quickly going to their bedroom and returning, "The bed is dry!" He and Julian both grinned, glad they hadn’t pissed the bed.

"Guys," Cal said, "if you’ll fold up your tux’s and bring them out, we’ll put them with ours. I’m dropping them off at Sasha’s this afternoon, and she is going to return them to the rental place tomorrow, since we’re both working. It’s so nice to have a great sister!"

"I think we both have some awesome sisters," Jim commented, "Those two really helped to make our Wedding Day a memorable occasion, they took care of all the things we didn’t have the sense to take care of." Cal nodded in agreement.

Jim offered to fix the boys some brunch, but both claimed their tummies were a little off, and they didn’t feel like eating. Cal administered both boys some aspirin tablets, and the boys finally put on some clothes, preparing to leave.

"Will we see you guys at Christmas Time?" Calvin inquired.

"Not likely," Jeff responded, "we’re spending our Christmas Break in Dunbar. It will be our first year to spend Christmas with Samantha and Dominic, and we’re so looking forward to it!"

"Jeff, you act like they are your siblings," Jim stated.

"I feel like they are mine," Jeff replied, "Julian and I both have nothing but hearts full of love for those beautiful kids. We can hardly wait to see them again." Cal and Jim smiled at each other, knowing that these two boys have both been blessed with huge and loving hearts, not only for each other, but for everyone that is close to them. Cal and Jim have nothing but love for these two boys.

J&J dressed and grabbed their overnight bag, preparing to depart. Cal and Jim walked with them to Jeff’s car, and the four men shared loving hugs with each other. It’s always an emotional scene when these guys have to part. J&J hate to leave their Uncles, and the Uncles hate to see their nephews leave. J&J arrived at their Dorm, entering their room about 7:00 PM.

　

* * * * * *

Tuesday morning the school secretary dropped an envelope that had arrived in the morning mail on the Principal’s desk. John Ellis, the Dunbar High School Principal looked at it, a plain envelope, with no return address.

The address, written in ballpoint ink was written as Mr. John Ellis, Principal, Dunbar High School. The letter was written on lined notebook paper, and John pulled the letter out and read it.

‘Dear Mr. Ellis,

I am writing this on behalf of many (or most) of our school’s basketball team. There is a situation which has many of our team members very uncomfortable.

One of our players, Kevin Collins, has openly admitted to us that he is gay, and that he has a boyfriend. Kevin is a good athlete, a good player, and an asset to our team. We’re not overjoyed to have had that information presented to us, but we can accept it.

Kevin has never done or said anything to any of us of a sexual nature, and never made a pass at any of us. Knowing that he is gay has made some of us a bit uncomfortable to shower or change in front of him, but so far there has not been any problem with him.

Sometimes Kevin brings his boyfriend, Jake Farmer, into the locker room while he showers or changes clothes, and several of us have a problem with this. Jake sits on a bench in the locker room and watches all of us team members while we shower and dress. We feel very uncomfortable, with a gay boy watching us like that.

Kevin says that Jake is just waiting for him, but could he maybe be asked to wait somewhere else, and not in the locker room?

Mr. Ellis, we’re not homophobes or gay haters, and we wouldn’t want to see anything bad happen to Jake, but him hanging around in the boys locker room really makes some of us uncomfortable. I hope you can do something to eliminate this situation.

Thank you, A Dunbar Lion Basketball Player’

John lay the letter on his desk and held his head in his hands. He’s never been faced with a problem quite like this before. You can’t just tell a male student that he’s not allowed in the boys’ locker room, can you? Its not like Jake has committed an infraction, and there’s no rule that says a boy can’t sit on a bench in the locker room and wait for a friend, or boyfriend, in this case. What to do? John needs some advice, but who can he get it from? Maybe Mr. Wise, the basketball coach can help him.

John wrote a memo to Mr. Wise, asking him to come to his office at his earliest convenience, and dropped in into his box.

Grant Wise found the memo right after lunch, and wondered what prompted it. He went to John’s office shortly after, and John motioned him in and closed the door.

"What’s up, John," Grant asked.

"I received this letter this morning, from one of the basketball players. It’s a bit upsetting, and I have no idea how to react, and I’m hoping you can give me some advice." He handed the letter to Grant, and Grant read it, shaking his head.

"Grant, do you have any idea who may have written this letter?"

"No," Grant replied, "It could have been any one of a dozen boys, and I sympathize with what these boys may be feeling. I, also, would feel uncomfortable if I knew a gay boy was watching me shower."

"A couple of the boys did inform me," Grant said, "a couple of weeks ago, that Kevin had come out as gay. They said they didn’t have a problem with him being gay, they just thought that I should be aware of his sexuality. Nobody had mentioned this situation with Jake, and this is the first I was aware of it."

"So, Grant," John said, "what should we do?"

"Let me talk with Kevin," Grant replied, "maybe he can ask Jake to wait for him somewhere else, other than the boys locker room. I’ll let you know what Kevin says. May I have a copy of that letter, so I can show it to Kevin?" Without an answer, John took the letter out to the secretary’s office and made a copy, handing the copy to Grant.

Wednesday was a practice day for the basketball team. At lunchtime, Grant walked into the cafeteria and spotted Kevin and Jake having lunch together, and approached them.

"Hi Coach," Kevin greeted.

"Hi Kevin," Grant replied, "You have practice this afternoon, can you come by my office for a few minutes before practice, we need to talk."

"Uh Oh," Kevin asked, "Did I do something, am I in trouble?"

Grant, smiling, "No Kevin, you’re not in trouble, we just need to have a little talk. See you a little before practice time." Grant walked away.

"What’s that all about, baby?" Jake asked.

"Beats the hell out of me," KC replied, "I’ll tell you tonight, after practice."

About 3:40 PM Kevin walked into Coach Wise’s office through the open door.

"Hi KC," Grant said, "Please close the door, and have a seat." Kevin did as asked, and nervously sat down.

"Relax, Kevin," Grant said, "It’s nothing that serious, but I do need some honest answers, about a couple of things, just between you and me. What is your relationship with Jake Farmer?"

"Jake and I are best friends, "KC said.

"Best friends," Grant replied, "or Boyfriends?"

Kevin, staring at the floor, "Boyfriends, sir, I love Jake and Jake loves me. Is there a law that says two boys can’t love each other?"

"KC, that’s not what this is about. Mr. Ellis received an upsetting letter yesterday, supposedly from one of your teammates. I think you should read it, and then we can discuss the accuracy of the contents." Grant handed the copy of the letter to KC, and KC read it, and frowned.

"Who wrote this?" KC asked, with anger in his voice.

"We don’t know," Grant replied, "we can only assume it came from one of the players, but he didn’t have the guts to sign his name to it. Is there any truth to it?"

"Some, sir," KC replied, "Some of the football players pushed me into coming out, and they accepted me as their gay teammate. I think, after that, the whole school knew I was gay. In some ways it felt good to be out, I had nothing to hide anymore. I’m gay, I’m out, and I really don’t care who knows it, not anymore. Maybe I just need to drop off the team, and forget about sports. Let the straight guys have their fun shooting hoops—without me."

"Kevin," Grant stated, "I don’t think that’s what any of these guys want, and it darn sure isn’t what I want. You better read that letter again, they don’t want you to quit the team!" KC re-read the letter.

"I never realized they felt uncomfortable around me," KC stated. "It’s kinda hard to shower with a bunch of other guys, without at least glancing at their junk, and I think most of the guys do that."

"I think you’re absolutely right, KC," Grant stated, "Guys have checked each other out, probably since the beginning of time, and it’s probably perfectly natural. The difference between straight and gay guys, is that the straight guys observe and forget, and some of the gay guys observe and lust, wanting to touch—or more."

"Mr. Wise," KC said, "that letter is a little scary. I’m afraid for Jake, and even for myself, I don’t want us to become victims of gay bashing."

"I don’t think any of those boys want to cause you guys any harm," Grant said, "They just would prefer that Jake not sit in the locker room and watch them shower."

"I’ll see what I can do, Mr. Wise," KC said, "to remedy the situation—what if Jake had a reason to shower with us?"

"What are you thinking?" Grant asked, curiously.

"We have an exercise room," KC said, "If I could get Jake to start using it, he could exercise while we practice, and then he would also have a need to shower, and we could shower together!"

"I guess," Grant said, grinning, "if there’s a will, there’s a way! That just might work, and it would be healthy for Jake too, much better exercise than sitting on a bench in the locker room!"

"Mr. Wise," KC said, "Thanks for the heads up, we might just make an athlete out of my boyfriend!" Kevin left Grant’s office, changed into his gym wear and went to the gym for practice.

This Wednesday Jake had decided to not hang around to watch the player’s practice, and went home on the bus with Larry.

It’s approaching the 12^th of December, and the start of the long awaited winter break. J&J have registered for the spring semester, which will be starting in mid January, the 10^th to be exact. Two more days and they will be heading to Dunbar to spend almost a month with Julian’s family and their beloved siblings. J&J can hardly wait to kiss and hug Samantha and Dominic. They’re Julian’s siblings, but Jeff almost regards them as his own.

Bill Parks, Jeff’s Dad, had taken photos of Jim and Cal’s wedding, and had enough prints made to be able to send J&J copies. J&J were anxious to show them to Julian’s family. J&J are extremely happy that Jeff is now lovingly tight with his family, and they have also adopted Julian as a second son.

Jim and Elaine have become close siblings once again, and Bill and Elaine usually share a dinner at least once a week with Calvin and Jim, sometimes also with Sasha. Every couple of weeks, Charles and Lydia invite Calvin, Jim and Sasha for dinner, usually on a weeknight. Sasha and Elaine have developed a close friendship since the wedding and frequently get together to go shopping and share lunch together.

J&J have tried to conjure a way for Julian’s family to meet Jeff’s family. The most realistic probability is when Jeff graduates, the end of May. Of course Bill and Elaine will be coming to his graduation, and likely so will Jim and Cal. There is no way that Art and Vi will not attend Jeff’s graduation either, but things may be difficult for them as they have Sam and Dom to worry about.

Finally, it’s Wednesday morning, the 12^th of December, thirteen days until Christmas. J&J, along with Levi and Caleb headed to the dining hall to have breakfast, the last meal they will be serving until spring semester starts. Jeff had an envelope in his hands.

While they were eating breakfast together, Jeff opened the envelope to show Levi and Caleb the wedding pictures.

"Oh my god!" Levi exclaimed, "Cuteness extravaganza! Those are the prettiest Tuxedo’s I’ve ever seen. You four guys are so handsome in those matching Tux’s. I can recognize you and Julian, who are the other two guys?

Jeff, pointing, "This is Uncle Jim, he’s the one that owns that cabin where we had the watergames. And this is Calvin, Uncle Jim’s new husband, and I guess my Uncle now, by marriage. The wedding was beautiful, my Mom gave Jim away, and Cal’s sister, Sasha, gave Calvin away. I’m so happy for both of them."

"This is Sasha, and that is Uncle Jim’s sister, my Mom."

"Who took the pictures?" Levi asked.

"My Dad," Jeff replied, "Aren’t they nice?"

"Let me get this straight," Caleb said, "Your Uncle married another man?"

"Yeah," Jeff said, smiling, "Finally, same sex marriage is legal!"

"I guess it’s OK," Caleb said, "but it still seems strange to me."

"Nice pictures, Jeff," Levi said.

"We gotta run, guys," Julian said, "we need to get to Dunbar for Christmas, and the winter break, we’ll see you guys next month.

J&J headed back to their dorm room and grabbed a few last minute items, then got into Jeff’s car and headed out toward Dunbar.

* * * * * *

J&J pulled into the White’s driveway about 2:00 PM on Wednesday afternoon, jumped out of the car and rushed into the back door of the house. Vi was doing up the dishes and dried her hands, anticipating the loving hugs that she knew were on the way. Both Julian and Jeff gave Vi a loving hug, and a kiss on her lips.

"Where are Sam and Dom?" Julian asked anxiously.

"Sam will be home from school in about a half an hour," Vi replied, "and Dom is taking his nap." Julian showed his disappointment, in having to wait to hug and kiss the youngsters. He and Jeff went back to the car to get their bags, and brought them into the house, taking them to their bedroom, then returned to the car and got the two bags of dirty laundry, and dropped them by the washer.

Vi, grinning, "What do you guys do for clean clothes when I’m not around to launder them?"

"When we get desperate," Jeff said, grinning, "we use the coin op machines on campus." Julian and Vi both grinned.

The school bus dropped off several children at the bus stop, and Samantha headed to her house. She spotted Jeff’s car and knew that her big brothers were home, and broke into a run, almost knocking the back door off it’s hinges as she burst into the kitchen. Dropping her backpack on the floor, she jumped into Julian’s open and waiting arms, those arms holding her and hugging her tight, and his lips kissing her cheek. Sam then gave Julian a sloppy wet kiss on his lips, and he allowed her feet to touch the floor.

Seconds later, the same scenario was repeated, only with Jeff being the victim. Vi and Julian watched, both of them grinning. Sam sure knew how to make a young man feel wanted, and loved! A few minutes later they heard a little voice crying from the direction of Vi and Art’s bedroom, Dominic is awake.

Julian quickly left the kitchen and headed toward the sound of the crying young man. Approaching Dom’s crib, Dom was standing, and holding onto the railing.

"Hey, little man!" Julian exclaimed, kissing his cheek and picking Dominic up and out of the crib, Dom instinctively wrapped his arms around Julian’s neck and Julian hugged him, lovingly, then lowered him to the floor, onto his feet.

"Tinkle," Dom stated, and ran toward the bathroom. By the time Julian caught up with Dom, he had his pants pushed down and was sitting on his potty. A minute later, Dom stood up and pulled his pants back up.

"Good boy, Dom!" Julian exclaimed, smiling, and Dom smiled back. Dom and Julian went into the kitchen and Jeff dropped to his knees and opened his arms, inviting Dom to get a hug, and Jeff kissed Dom’s cheek. Dominic appeared happy to see his big brothers, and his big brothers were delighted to see him.

"Mom," Julian stated, smiling, "Dom went to his potty and tinkled, all by himself!"

"He does really well in the daytime," Vi said, "he only wears huggies at night, and only wets them a couple times a week. He wears training pants in the daytime, and sometimes he waits too long to go and tinkles in them. He poops by himself too, but somebody has to wipe his bottom for him." J&J both grinned,

"I think he’s picked up a bad habit from Eric and Peter," Vi said, "Sometimes when Eric or Peter play over here, they’ll unzip and tinkle outside in a heartbeat, and now Dom will push his pants down and go outside too."

"It’s not a bad habit," Jeff said, "it’s a boy habit, and I think all boys do that, Dom’s just being a boy. I don’t think Dom picked it up from Eric and Peter, I suspect someone else showed him how to do that." Vi scowled at Julian, and Julian’s face turned red, and Jeff grinned.

"Mom," Julian asked, "do you know where Santa Claus is hanging out? We want to take Sam and Dom to see him."

"I think he’s at the mall part of the time, and I’ve heard he sometimes shows up at Toy-R-Us and Target," Vi answered.

"If we take them to Toys-R-Us, maybe they will kind of show us what they want, and then we can tell Santa," Jeff suggested.

"Great idea, baby," Julian stated, "It’s hard for kids our age to know what kids their ages want." Jeff and Vi grinned at each other, loving the way Julian referred to Jeff and himself as ‘kids.’

"FYI," Vi stated, "Sam’s last day of school before Christmas is Friday, and then she’ll be off until after New Years. Their teacher is having a Holiday Party for her class on Friday, with a special lunch, games and Treats.

"What, exactly, is a Holiday Party?" Jeff asked.

"It’s what we used to call a Christmas Party," Vi said, "but they try to not use secular terminology these days. ‘Merry Christmas’ is out and ‘Happy Holidays’ is in. They don’t even permit Christmas Trees in the school anymore."

"That sucks," Jeff said, "I still believe in Christmas!"

"When I was in grade school," Vi stated, sadly, "we had Christmas Trees in the class rooms, and the kids made decorations out of colored construction paper and glue, and put them on the tree."

"Are we going to put up a tree here?" Jeff asked.

"Of course we are," Vi said, "and maybe you guys would like to put up some lights on the house?"

"Let’s do it today, baby," Julian stated, smiling, "the lights are up in the attic, and I think we have time before it gets dark."

The boys were in the attic within five minutes, found the decorations and lights, and brought them down, checking them out to see what they had to work with. They discovered a tree stand, made for a real live tree that held water in the bottom. They also found an artificial tree, but already had made the decision to get a real tree.

By 5:00 PM they had transformed the outside of the house, and stood back by the road and looked at it, pleased with their labor.

Art arrived home from work about 6:00 PM and almost didn’t recognize his home, it looked so different. He was smiling as he walked into the kitchen, set his lunch cooler down and greeted his family. Dinner was ready and they all ate.

Right after dinner, Jeff got out the Wedding pictures, and showed them to Art and Vi, which they enjoyed viewing. They couldn’t help commenting on how handsome their sons were, dressed up in those light blue Tuxedo’s. J&J beamed, loving the complements.

"Dad," Jeff asked, "can we borrow the pickup, we want to go to Lowe’s and get a real live Christmas Tree for the house."

Art, smiling, "Certainly, you’ll find some tie downs in the tool box," and handed the keys to Jeff. Art likes the idea of a real tree, which they hadn’t bothered with for the last four of five years. A real pine tree emits a fragrance that makes a home smell so much like Christmas.

The boys took off with the pickup for Lowe’s, and while on the way noticed that Art’s work gloves had seen better days. They didn’t have a lot of money to spend for Christmas gifts, but felt that a new pair of work gloves would be appreciated, and picked up a new pair while at Lowe’s, and Julian paid for them. The boys split the cost of the tree.

They returned about an hour later, with a tree, and put the gloves in Jeff’s car for now. They stood the tree up outside, deciding to set it up tomorrow morning and decorate it, while Sam is in school.

Wednesday evening Kevin called Jake and suggested they start working out together. KC only has BB practice on Mondays and Wednesdays, which would give him Tuesdays and Thursdays to work out with Jake. They could shower together afterwards, and if Jake also worked out on Mondays and Wednesdays, that would be four days a week they could shower together at the school.

Jake was lukewarm on the idea of exercising, but loved the idea of showering with his boyfriend. There is nothing Jake likes any more than seeing his boyfriend naked!

Kevin explained to Jake what he would need, clothing wise, and to pack those and a towel in a gym bag. On Thursday KC would take Jake to see Mr. Wise, and get a locker of his own in the locker room, and after classes they could change together and start their exercise regimen. Kevin is smiling, loving the idea that he has found something beneficial that they can do together, and Kevin is just as excited to have more opportunity to see Jake naked!

Thursday morning Larry asked Jake what was with the gym bag, and Jake explained about starting to work out with Kevin, and how it would be of benefit to both of them, and they’d be able to shower together as well.

Larry, shaking his head, "I still can’t believe that KC is going through all of this just to spend more time with you, or any boy, for that matter. You and KC have become the center of gossip in the whole damn school."

"You know what," Jake said, grinning, "Kevin and I love each other, and I don’t think either of us give a fuck who knows it!"

"You may get some animosity from some of the girls," Larry stated, "They’re saying you’ve stolen the boy of their dreams!"

That afternoon KC took Jake into Coach Wise’s office, and Grant issued Jake his own locker, just two lockers down from Kevin’s. KC told Jake that he needs to pick up a combination padlock, and memorize the combination.

The two boys entered the locker room and changed into exercise shorts and t-shirts then spent an hour in the exercise room, Kevin giving Jake tips on different ways of working out. KC worked up a sweat, but not nearly as much as Jake did. Jake was seriously getting into working out, and Kevin was happy that he was.

After an hour of working out, they returned to the locker room and both boys stripped to shower. There were no other boys in there at the time, and just before they entered the shower stall they shared a loving kiss and hug, both boys became somewhat erect before they entered the stall. They both enjoyed soaping each other, which was something they would not likely have done if there were spectators. They were glad they were alone.

They dried each other off, got dressed and put their gear into KC’s locker, so that it could be secured. They grabbed their backpacks, and headed to KC’s car and Kevin drove to Jake’s house and dropped him off. KC had an ‘away’ game tomorrow night, and Jake was not planning to attend. Jake would be alone and lonely Friday night.

* * * * * *

Thursday morning J&J got up and had breakfast with Art, Vi and Sam. J&J walked their little sister to the bus stop to await the bus.

"Sam, we’ll have a surprise for you," Julian said, "when you get home from school today."

"Oh," Sam replied, "I love surprises, what’s it going to be?"

"Sweetheart," Jeff said, "if we told you, then it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it. Just wait, I know you’re going to like it."

The bus arrived and J&J both gave Sam a loving hug and a kiss goodbye, and told her to have a good day. While they were at the bus stop, Dominic woke up and Vi fixed him some breakfast and fed him. Dom was about half finished with his breakfast when the boys returned.

"Mom," Julian said, "we need to move some things around in the living room, to make room for the tree."

"I know," Vi replied, "we go through this every year. Do what you have to do." The boys went into the living room and started planning. They wanted to put the tree in front of the picture window, where it would show from the outside of the house. They realized that something would end up blocking the front door, and decided to bring the tree in first, through the front door, as it would be difficult to bring it through the kitchen. Fifteen minutes later the tree lay on the living room floor.

Another half an hour, and the tree was in its stand, standing proudly in front of the window, and the front door was blocked with the big screen TV. Dominic was totally confused, having no idea why there was a tree in the living room!

"Dom," Julian tried to explain, "this is our Christmas Tree, we’re going to put colored lights on it, and decorations to make the tree look really pretty. Do you want to help Jeff and me decorate it?"

Dominic, grinning, "Yep!" Two of Dom’s favorite words are ‘yep’ and ‘nope’ and he completely understands the meaning of both words. He also likes to please everyone, and wanted to please his big brothers. Dom is only about thirty inches tall, and J&J are very aware that his reach is quite limited, but they truly wanted to include Dom in the decoration of the tree.

J&J opened the plastic storage boxes containing the ornaments and lights, pulling out the angel treetop. Jeff got the step stool from the laundry area, and stood on it to place the angel on the top of the tree, then he and Julian arranged the lights around the tree, finally plugging in the lights and the tree started to look pretty. Dominic was captivated.

Suddenly Dominic, holding his crotch, "Tinkle," and Dom went running to his potty, and took care of his immediate need. While he was ‘tinkling’ J&J started to place the gold colored tinsel garlands around the tree and adjusted them. Dom returned, dry.

Jeff opened the box of colored glass balls, and located the box of ornament hangers. He showed Dom how they needed to place the hooks on the tops of the ornaments, and hang them on the tree’s branches.

One ball at a time, the three boys placed the ornaments on the tree, J&J taking turns lifting Dominic up to place some of them on some of the upper branches. Dominic actually secured, with J&J’s help, almost all of the balls, except for the few on the very highest branches. For some unknown reason, the lower branches seemed to get the majority of the balls. J&J suggested to Dom that some of them needed to be moved to some higher branches, and Dom moved them, with a bit of brotherly help.

The three boys stood back and viewed the tree, which still needed the foil icicles to be placed on it.

"All done!" Dominic exclaimed, "Pretty tree."

"Nope!" Julian exclaimed, "were not quite done yet, we still need to put the tree skirt under the tree, and we need a small person to help with that, somebody that can get underneath the tree."

"I can do," Dom stated, smiling, and crawled under the tree to prove it. Jeff shook out the tree skirt and placed it under the front side of the tree.

"Dom," Julian said, "can you grab the back side of this, and pull it underneath the tree, and cover that stand that holds up the tree?" Dom pulled on it, covering the backside of the tree stand.

"Perfect!" Julian stated, "you can come out now." And Dom crawled out from under the tree and stood up. J&J mutually decided to wait until Dom takes his nap to put the icicles on the tree.

"Why is the tree for?" Dom asked, so innocently.

"Dom," Jeff tried to explain, "we put up a Christmas Tree at Christmas time, so Santa Claus will know where to put the gifts when he comes to visit." Nice job, Jeff, you just opened a can of worms!

"Who is Anta Claus?" Dom asked.

Julian, grinning at Jeff, "OK, Jeff, I think you owe a certain little boy an explanation! And I’m waiting to see how you handle this!"

"Help!" Jeff exclaimed, "I need some—visual aids, do we have any old Christmas Cards that might have some pictures of Santa Claus on them?" Vi, starting to look through the boxes that had held the ornaments, found a box that had some cards.

Vi, shuffling through them, found a few, "Will these help?"

"Big time!" Jeff exclaimed, "Thanks, Mom. Dominic, this is what Santa Claus looks like. He’s an old man that lives at the North Pole, which is a long way from here. He has a bunch of elves that help him all year long, making toys to give to all the good little boys and girls, all over the world at Christmas Time."

"What’s elfs?" Dom asked.

"Elves are little people, not much bigger than you, but they’re grown up. This picture shows Santa Claus, with some of his elves around him. They work all year long, making toys, and then, on Christmas Eve, just a few days from now, they load up the sleigh. It’s pulled by reindeers, and they travel through the sky, and visit the homes of all the children in the whole world. Santa leave’s toys under the Christmas Trees, and on Christmas morning, the children get to play with their new toys."

"How he know where we are?" Dom asked.

"Dominic," Julian, asked, "would you like to meet Santa Claus?"

"Yep!" Dom answered, smiling.

"Jeff and I are planning to take you and Samantha to see him, probably on Saturday. He will ask your names, and he’ll probably ask if you have been good. He doesn’t like bad little boys and girls and sometimes doesn’t leave them any toys. We’ll tell Santa Claus where you live, so he’ll know where to bring you your toys."

"Mom," Jeff said, "If anyone asks who trimmed the tree, Dominic did it, we just helped him a little." Vi smiled in understanding.

"Dom," Julian stated, "you did a really nice job with the tree, Thank you."

"Yule, tank you for the help," Dominic answered, "you too, Yeff." J&J both grinned, god how they love this little boy! Dominic has definitely stolen both of their hearts.

Vi cooked up some hot dogs with Mac and Cheese for lunch for ALL of the boys and herself. Yeah, Dominic likes Mac and Cheese too. Jeff cut up Dom’s hot dog into little-boy sized bites, and he fed himself while Vi and the other two looked on, while eating their own lunches. Dom has learned to feed himself, as long as the food is in bite sized pieces.

About 2:30 Sam bounced in the back door, dropped her backpack on the floor and rushed to give the boys a hug and kiss, then gave her little brother a kiss and finally Vi got one.

"Okay guys," Sam stated, "what’s the surprise you promised me?"

"Go look in the living room," Jeff replied. Sam headed there.

"OH!" Sam shrieked, "IT’S BEAUTIFUL! Who decorated it?"

"Dominic did most of it," Julian said, grinning.

"He got a little help from his big brothers," Jeff admitted, smiling.

"Good job, Dom!" Sam exclaimed, giving Dom another kiss. Dom grinned, accepting the complement. Vi gave Sam a couple of cookies with a glass of milk, then gave Dom one, and placed the container of cookies on the table between J&J, who both had their hands in the cookie jar quickly. The cookies were soft, and Dom made quick work of his, and one of the boys sneaked him a second cookie when Vi wasn’t looking. These boys will spoil Dominic!

After Vi encouraged Dom to tinkle again before she lay him down for his nap, Sam went to the Hanson’s house to play with Eric. J&J sat on the sofa and just relaxed with each other, enjoying each other’s company and admiring the tree. Of course they shared a couple of kisses with each other. These boys are very comfortable with each other in the White’s home, and never hesitate to share a kiss, even when in sight of Vi or Art.

Just before the Hanson’s were about to have dinner, Sam brought Eric over to show him the tree. Eric also thought the tree was very beautiful, and climbed up on J&J’s laps, giving them both an affectionate hug. Eric knew that J&J both liked him a lot and he also liked them a lot. Eric then left, returning to his house for dinner with his Mom and Larry.

While Vi finished preparing dinner, Sam and Dominic both found their big brothers laps, and J&J both had a lap full of loving, and well loved children. Sam heard Art come in through the kitchen door and jumped off of Julian’s lap to go greet her Daddy. Sam was always the first one of the White’s to give Art a welcome hug and kiss, followed by Vi, and then Art would pick up Dominic and give him a loving hug and kiss. Art and Vi totally love their whole family, and would not wish any of them to be a bit different in any way, and that love extends to their oldest son’s boyfriend.

Art mentioned how beautiful the tree looked, and told J&J they did a wonderful job on it. J&J quickly informed Art that Dom had done most of the work, and they just gave him a hand, here and there. Art said nothing, but knew in his mind that it was likely the other way around! He was happy though, that J&J had included Dominic in the trimming of the tree.

At dinnertime that evening, J&J told Art that they plan to take both of the children to see ‘s-a-n-t-a-c-l-a-u-s’ on Saturday. J&J hoped that Sam’s spelling wasn’t to good yet, as they didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag.

At bedtime Sam wanted to sleep with the boys, but Vi believed that Sam would rest better in her own bed. Vi put Sam to bed about 8:00 PM, and the boys played some video games before they finally went to sleep about 11:30 PM, cuddled with each other. It has been a long time since either Jeff or Julian had to sleep alone, and neither one of them look forward to being in a position where they couldn’t sleep together.

Kevin and Jake shared lunch together, as usual, at noon on Friday and Kevin asked Jake to please come and support the team as they took on the Warriors. Jake likely would have agreed sooner if he could have ridden the same bus with Kevin. He would need to ride one of the spectator’s busses, as the players bus was only for the team and the cheerleaders.

Jake finally agreed to go, and called his Mom to let her know he was going to go and watch the game. KC told Jake that he needed to wait for the player’s bus to arrive back at the school, probably close to an hour after the spectator’s busses would get back. The spectator’s busses would load right after the game, and the players would need time to shower before the player’s bus would leave the other school.

KC sweetened the offer a little, stating that when Jake got back to the school, Jake would find the back door to KC’s car unlocked, and could wait there for him. He then put icing on the cake, as KC and Jake could go and have pizza, then go to KC’s house for the night. KC had already told his parents that he hoped that Jake would be with him when he came home that night.

Jake changed his mind, the thought of sleeping with his boyfriend that night was overwhelming. Jake made another call to his Mom, telling her that he was spending the night with Kevin, and he would be home sometime Saturday.

Tonya knows KC now, and feels comfortable with Jake staying over with him. She hasn’t mentioned it yet, but if Jake asked Kevin to stay over with him, KC would be welcome to spend the night in her home as well. She really likes Kevin, and respects the feelings that these two boys have for each other. She feels that Jake has chosen a very nice boy to have for a boyfriend.

After school that Friday afternoon, Kevin and Jake hooked up and went to Burger King for a snack. Kevin needed to be back by 5:00 PM to get his BB uniform, as the player’s bus was to depart at 5:30. The spectator’s bus wasn’t to leave until 6:00 PM and Tip-off was to be at 7:00 PM. Jake waited in KC’s car, and he watched as his beloved boyfriend boarded the bus with all the other players and cheerleaders. How Jake yearned to be on that bus with Kevin.

About 5:45 PM Jake saw a bunch of students gathering by the school doors, and he walked over and joined them. There must have been at least sixty or more in the group. Two busses drove up to the bus loading area and student spectators started to board them. As they boarded, the bus driver’s took their names, and told them they would need to ride the same bus back, after the game.

Jake knew most of the students, but didn’t consider any of them to be close friends. He elected to sit in an empty seat, not wishing to encroach on anyone’s territory. If someone wanted to sit with him, that was their prerogative and he would not object to having some company. It was nearly 6:00 PM and a group of latecomers arrived, and started to board.

There were likely about five or six empty seats on this bus and a dude walked to Jake’s seat and asked if this seat was taken.

"I don’t see anyone sitting here," Jake replied, smiling.

"Its taken now," he stated, "you’re Jake Farmer, aren’t you?"

"Yeah," Jake answered, apprehensively.

"You’re KC’s boyfriend," he stated, "I’m Roger, Roger Adams." Roger extended his hand, inviting a handshake, which Jake took, and the two boys shared a friendly handshake. "Glad to meet you," Roger said, with sincerity in his voice.

"Its Good to meet you too, I think." Jake replied.

"I sense apprehension in your voice," Roger said, "are you uncomfortable around me?"

"Not—really" Jake lied, "I just don’t have many friends."

"I think I know what you’re feeling," Roger said, "gay boys have trouble making friends, cause so many guys don’t want to be associated with gay boys. Jake, I’m not like that, I choose my friends according to what they’re like, not what their sexuality may be. I could care less if a boy likes boys, or girls.

I’ll tell you up front, I’m not gay, but I don’t have a problem being friends with someone who is gay. Everyone has the right to love who they want, and love is love! My very best friend is gay, and I think you know him, his name is Kevin Collins!" Roger grinned.

"You’re best friends with KC?" Jake asked, somewhat surprised.

"Best friends," Roger reaffirmed, "not boyfriends, I can’t do for him what you can do, Jake. KC has told me all about you, and he is madly in love with you. Jake, I hope you really do care about KC, he’s my best friend, and I would hate to see him get hurt."

"Roger," Jake said, "I would never want to hurt Kevin, I love him way too much to ever want to hurt him. My best friend, Larry Hanson, told me he thought Kevin was just playing games with me, and that he would eventually pick up another girlfriend."

"Jake," Roger returned, "Kevin and I have been the closest of friends ever since third, maybe fourth grade. When we were kids, we spent many a night sleeping over together. We were nearly inseparable, and we still are, but we don’t sleep over together anymore. When he wanted us to do certain things together, I couldn’t do what he wanted to do—I’m a little too straight for that! But we’re still very close friends. Will you sit with me, to watch the game?"

"I’d be happy to," Jake replied, smiling, "if you’ll sit with me on the ride back to school afterwards."

"Deal!" Roger exclaimed, "Jake, I think we can become friends." Roger placed his arm around Jake’s shoulders and pulled him tight, "to friendship!" Jake was feeling he’d just gained a new friend.

Roger and Jake found seats together on the front row of the bleachers, and both of their eyes were almost glued to Kevin as he ran up and down the floor, helping to make points for the Lion’s.

Kevin spotted Roger and Jake, sitting together, and smiled, seeing his best friend and his boyfriend together on the bleachers. Those two boys are his biggest fans!

It was the last few seconds of the final quarter, the clock ticking and the Lions were down by one. KC stole the ball and made the shot, the ball slipped through the net at the buzzer. The Lions won by one point, and the Lions fans went wild. Jake and Roger were on their feet, jumping and cheering, along with about a hundred other Lions fans.

Both teams left the floor, headed to the boys locker room to shower and change back into normal clothes. Jake and Roger, along with all the other student spectators, headed toward their busses, Jake and Roger sharing their seat. All the chatter on the bus was about that final play that KC had mastered, that won the game for the Dunbar Lions. KC had become the hero of the night.

The spectator busses arrived back at Dunbar High, and the students exited the busses. Jake started to walk toward the parking lot, and KC’s car, and Roger walked by his side.

"How are you getting home?" Jake asked.

"I drove my old man’s car," Roger stated, "it’s here in the parking lot, do you need a ride?"

"No," Jake replied, "I just need to wait for KC to get back, his car is right over here. I sure do need a piss though! Here’s KC’s car."

"And here is mine, right next to it," Roger said, "My back teeth are floating, we can take a leak between our cars."

The two boys slid their zippers down and pulled out their pricks and watered the gravel. They glanced at each others junk and snickered, criss crossing their streams."

"There are advantages to being a boy," Roger stated.

"No argument there," Jake replied.

Roger, as the two boys tucked their peckers away and zipped up, "Jake, can we exchange phone numbers?"

"What for?" Jake replied.

"If we’re going to be friends, its only natural to swap numbers."

"I’d like that," Jake replied, as he pulled his phone out, and so did Roger. The two boys exchanged numbers.

"Jake, would you like for me to hang around with you until KC gets here?" Roger asked.

"You don’t have to do that," Jake said, "I’ll be fine."

"But I want to," Roger replied, "Jake, I like you and I care about you. I would just feel better, knowing you’re safe, until Kevin gets here to take you—wherever you’re going."

"We’re planning on going for pizza," Jake said, "and then to KC’s house for the night. Why don’t you go with us to the pizza place?"

"Man, I don’t want to intrude on you guys," Roger said.

"You wouldn’t be," Jake replied, "you’re Kevin’s best friend, and now you’re my friend too, no intrusion there!"

The two boys just chatted for the next fifteen minutes, getting to know each other a little better. They saw the player’s bus arrive, and KC was in the parking lot with them about five minutes later.

"I see you guys have met," Kevin stated, grinning, "Baby, what kind of shit has this asshole been feeding you about me?"

"Nothing I didn’t already know," Jake said, grinning, "Baby, I invited my new friend to have pizza with us."

"Great!" KC exclaimed, smiling, "I don’t get to see my best friend very often anymore. Roger, how does Angelo’s sound?"

"That’s fine," Roger replied, "that’s where we used to go all the time, before, you know?"

"Yeah, before I discovered that I like boys," Kevin said, "and now I have the most wonderful boyfriend, Roger, have you met my beautiful boyfriend?"

"We just met tonight, by accident, but we’re friends already!" Roger stated, "Kevin, I think you picked a winner, I love Jake, platonically, of course." The three boys laughed, and KC took Jake in his arms and they kissed romantically.

"You guys are sick!" Roger said, grinning, "I don’t know how some boys can even stand to kiss another boy! I sure couldn’t."

"Don’t knock it, until you’ve tried it," Kevin stated.

"Fat chance of that happening!" Roger said, "let’s get some pizza."

Kevin and Jake led the way in KC’s car and Roger followed, parking next to them at Angelo’s Pizzeria. They went in, got a booth, KC and Jake sat together on one side and Roger sat across from them. They ordered Pepsi’s and an Xtra large everything pizza, minus the anchovies.

The three boys enjoyed the food, and the companionship. They chatted about anything and everything. Jake and Kevin were both happy that Jake and Roger had met, and the relationship between the three of them was very comfortable. It was quite evident that Jake and Roger would become good friends. They split the tab three ways, including a ten-dollar tip for the server. Roger headed to his home and Kevin and Jake headed to KC’s for the night, arriving about 11:30 PM.

The boys spent about fifteen minutes telling Kurt and Audrey about the game, and about Kevin’s basket right at the buzzer that won the game for the Lions. They quickly ascended the stairs and disappeared into Kevin’s bedroom, stripping and sliding into bed.

Jake had aspirations of some hot sex with his boyfriend, but Kevin had expended a lot of energy on the basketball court, and really wanted nothing more than to cuddle with his angel and go to sleep. Lying in his baby’s arms, Jake also fell asleep rather quickly.
