Always - 12. More Than I Could Have Wished For...

After Mrs. Rodriguez left the house, the four of us just moved into the coolest, most incredible group hug I have ever experienced in my life! Shit! Everyone was crying like little girls while at the same time laughing like total idiots. Who knew that was even possible?

After a while, Dad stepped back and told Noah and me that we needed to come home right after rehearsal, that we were going out for a celebration dinner to beat all celebration dinners.

Wow. Just. Fucking. Wow. I can honestly say that there haven’t been that many times in my life where I had something to celebrate. This was one for the ages!

Noah and I went back to our room to get our stuff for rehearsal, and as soon as we got in, he pulled me into a hug for the ages. Dude does give awesome hugs.

“You do realize that you’ve made the greatest dream of my life come true. I love you, Nick. But it’s more than a brother. You really are my best friend.”

He pulled me in even tighter (if that was even possible!), and I completely lost it again. With my shoulders shaking and my tears pouring, my brother just held me and let me know that everything was alright—better than alright, actually.

After calming down, we said goodbye to our dads, who were also crying. Jesus! This is the cryingest bunch of men ever in the entire history of the world. I would hate to see what happens when something sad happens!

We got to the theatre just as all the other kids were arriving. Damn! There must be 50 or 60 there! I commented to Noah on the number of people and he told me that was why they double cast the leads so more people would have a chance to perform. That was pretty cool, actually.

We all moved into the theatre and sat in the seats as Patty took to the stage. She announced that cast “B” would do the first act run through, and then we would switch to cast “A” for the second.

Noah raised his hand, and when Patty called on him, he told her that Liam wasn’t there. It turns out Liam was the other guy playing Lord Farquaad, with Noah being the cast “A” Faquaad.

“Does anyone know what’s going on with Liam?”

Noah answered her with, “There’s been some family stuff going on. I can text him to see what’s going on.”

He did just that, and his eyes got big as he read Liam’s text. “Patty, he says he needs you to call him right away. That it’s an emergency.”

Patty asked everyone to work on “Freak Flag” while she went into the office. I have to admit the cast sounded great on the song. The harmonies were spot on, and everyone was having a blast. Hell, I was having a blast just watching! A very concerned Patty broke the spell by nudging my shoulder and asking me to come into the office with her.

I followed her in, and she closed the door behind us. “Before I bring Noah in, I need to ask you how quickly you think you could learn one of the parts in the show.”

“I’ve always been a quick learner, but what’s going on? Is something wrong with Liam? I mean, we just saw him yesterday, and everything was great.”

“Liam told me that I could share his situation with both Noah and you, but I’ll wait until I bring him in. I think you’ll be wonderful playing the other Farquaad, especially since Noah can help you with learning everything.”

“I—I guess. Thank you for the chance, Patty. I promise not to let you down. But I’m really worried about this. I mean, Noah and Liam have kinda started seeing each other, and I’m afraid for my brother if something bad has happened.”

“Let me go get Noah, and then we can talk. I’ll have Jason run group numbers while we get this situation settled.”

For the life of me, I couldn’t even begin to imagine what was wrong. But from the look on Patty’s face, I had the feeling she was more concerned about Liam’s well-being than she was about the show. She went out to the theatre to get Noah and returned with him in no time.

“Hey, Nick. You okay? What’s going on?”

“Noah. Nick. Have a seat.”

We sat on the small sofa in Patty’s office. Noah was a nervous wreck, so I took his hand in mine to calm him down a bit. That’s what brothers do, right?

“Boys, I just got off the phone with Liam. Sadly, he won’t be able to continue with the show as there has been a family emergency. He told me that I could tell you what happened and that he will call Noah as soon as he is able.”

Fuck. This wasn’t sounding good at all.

“First, and most importantly, Liam and his mother are fine. Apparently, Mr. Webster discovered where they were staying, and he broke through security and got up to their room this morning. He was making quite a scene in the hall, but Liam and his mother were safe in their hotel room.

“Liam told me that Mr. Webster was angry because his mother cut him off from her family’s money. Security and the police arrived in just a few minutes, and they apparently had to taze Mr. Webster, and he was then arrested on several charges.”

“But if they’re okay, why did Liam have to leave the show?” Tears were welling up in Noah’s eyes.

“Mrs. Webster decided that for her and Liam’s safety, they were going to have to move to Oregon and live with her family. Liam tells me that both of you would understand the situation.”

I can’t believe this! That asshole, Mr. Webster, has ruined so many lives. And now my brother finally had a chance at love, and it’s ripped away from him. Fucking. Asshole!

“Now—Noah, I’m going to need your help with something.”

“Okay?”

“I’ve decided to let Nick take over the part for Liam. But I’m going to need you to do everything possible to help him get ready. Can you do that?”

“Oh my God, Patty! That’s amazing! Of course, I’ll help him. He’ll probably show me up, though!” Noah laughed and elbowed me in the ribs.

Hell, at least he was laughing. I still couldn’t help feeling bad for both him and Liam. This so totally sucked.

“Patty, can I try to call Liam? I really need to talk with him.”

“Sure. But make it quick. I’m going to need you on stage as soon as possible so Nick can watch you and get a handle on what he needs to learn, okay?”

“Of course, Patty. I—no, we—won’t let you down. I promise.”

“Me too, Patty. And thanks for the chance!”

Patty reached into a large box behind her desk and pulled out a script. “Here you go, Nick. Please make any markings in pencil and know that you’ll have to erase everything and turn the book back in at the end of the run. Now, let’s go into the theatre, and I’ll introduce you to the rest of the group.”

 

Yeah, the news came as a shock to me. And yes, I’m terribly disappointed. I really thought Liam might have been the one. But I think I’m more pissed at that piss-poor excuse of a father for causing even more trouble. On the other hand, karma's a bitch. He doesn’t get to live off his wife’s money anymore.

As soon as Patty and Nick left the office, she turned around and told me to just lock the door behind me when I finished and reminded me to make it quick.

I dialed Liam and just prayed he would answer. And he did.

“Noah?”

“Liam! What happened? Are you okay?”

“Yeah, we’re fine. It was pretty scary there for a while, with Dad screaming and yelling out in the hall. Banging on the door and all. We were kinda freaking out.”

“How did he find you?”

“One of my brothers found out where we were by tracking my phone. Dad came to the hotel and sweet-talked someone at the front desk. They were new, and when he said he was there to see his wife and son, she gave him the room number after he showed his ID. I think she got fired. She was leaving in tears while we were checking out.”

“And you’re going to Oregon?”

“Yeah, it’s just not safe for either of us in Austin. Dad’s gonna eventually get out of jail, and God only knows what he will try next.”

“I hate that this happened when we were just—”

“Yeah, I know. And I wasn’t happy about that part either. But Mom told me that staying in Austin just wasn’t an option. When I told her about you and how happy I finally was, she totally understood. But then she said that at least I now know what’s possible for me and that I should be grateful to you for that.”

“I guess. It still sucks.”

“Yeah, it totally does. But please don’t be sad. At least all this is happening before we got too deep into a relationship. If this happened months from now, it would be so much worse.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right about that. You’re really a great guy, Liam. I’m gonna miss the fuck outta you.”

“Yeah, me too. But we’ll stay in touch at the very least, right? And hey—Patty says your gonna be busy teaching the part to Nick. I feel bad about leaving the show, but knowing Nick is gonna step in makes it a lot better. He’ll be great.”

“Yeah, I’m really happy for him on that part. At least he’s not going to have to learn something as large as Shrek. That would be awful for him.”

Then it just got quiet. After a pause, I let Liam know that I had to get back to rehearsal and that I would call him when we were done.

“I don’t think that’s gonna work. We’re gonna change our phones and get new numbers once we’re out of town. I’ll be sure to call you once we get settled, okay.”

“Wow. Okay. I understand. Be safe, okay?”

“Yeah. We will. And Noah?”

“Yeah?”

“Thank you for everything. I’ll never forget you.”

It’s weird. I really thought I would be sadder than I was. I mean, yeah—I thought Liam might have been “the one,” but then I guess the fact that he wasn’t yet made things a little easier. I’m just glad that he and his mom have a safe place to go.

On the other hand, the one thing that I kept thinking about was I really have a brother now. That trumps everything! And the fact that he and I get to work together on the part is just sweet icing on an awesome cake!

I locked up the office and headed back into the theatre.

 

Noah came back into the theatre and actually looked pretty good. He walked over to where I was sitting and sat next to me.

I whispered to him, “You okay?”

“Yeah. I’ll tell you everything on the way home. You ready for this new brother of mine?”

Well fuck! That just brought the biggest smile to my face. “I love you, Noah. You and the dads have totally rocked my world!”

The run-through had already started, and we sat back for the opening scenes. I love how they make Farquaad out to be this big old badass ruler who makes life hell for everyone that doesn’t fit in.

As things were getting close to Noah’s first scene, he reached into his bag and pulled out a pair of knee pads. “You’re gonna need a pair of these, too.”

“What for?”

“You’ll see!” Noah just had this shit-eating grin on his face. He made his way backstage, and I waited for his entrance.

What can I say? Noah had me laughing my ass off! His timing with the comedy was pretty perfect, and I totally loved how he did a damned good impression of Idina Menzel in Wicked at the end of one of his songs. I also loved how the character is a total asshole while funny as shit all at the same time. Oh—and the kneepads? He is on his knees every time he’s onstage! Lord Farquaad is the shortest man in the land! This is gonna be so much fun!

I think the thing that impressed me the most was although he and his new boyfriend had just ended things, you’d never know it from the performance he gave. I wish I were that strong! Hell, just another thing that makes me love my new brother even more!

On the way home, I was expecting him to have some kind of emotional crash-and-burn, but he was calm like nothing had happened. I asked him how he was doing, and he said he was fine. I just looked at him with this incredulous look, and he explained.

“Look. I’m bummed that things didn’t work out with Liam. And yeah, I’m gonna miss him. But with the way things ended with Hannah, this is nothing. It also helps that we were just starting out. We were just getting to know each other on that level, and it hadn’t progressed very far. So, I don’t think I need to be all dramatic about it. I’m just glad that he and his mom have someplace safe to go.”

By the time we got home, Noah and I were starving! The dads told us to take quick showers and dress up in our suits. It was going to be that special! Noah let me go first, which was probably a good idea since I had zero experience wearing a suit and would probably need help from one of the dads getting everything right.

I totally loved the suit Dad and I got. It was this deep midnight blue color and was designed by this dude named Julian Alexander. The pants, coat, and vest were all the same color, and I had a choice of a white or dark blue dress shirt and a really cool Jerry Garcia tie. Dad told me that the Garcia guy was part of the Grateful Dead and that the ties were actually from small parts of his paintings. Hell, I thought that was fucking cool.

We went to the formal dining room at the Omni Hotel for dinner, where we had our first lunch. Pop explained that this was originally a country club that was only open to members and residents. The Omni bought the building and hotel a few years back, which was a great thing since you only had to get a membership if you wanted to play golf.

Oh, my God! Dinner was fucking amazing! The dads shared a chateaubriand steak thing, which the chef came out and carved at the table. Noah had lobster, and I had a gigantic prime rib. It was so amazing—especially when Noah let me taste lobster for the first time. Wow! I’m definitely ordering that the next time I have a chance!

The dads then ordered bananas foster for dessert. Pop said the pun was totally intended, too. He can be so corny, ya know? I didn’t expect the chef to come out to the table again and freaking cook dessert right there at the table—fire and all! Damn! It was fucking amazing, too!

I thought I was gonna explode after we finished eating. After the server cleared away the tables, Dad signed the check and spoke up.

“Nick, thank you from all of us for becoming such a perfect part of our family. We all had a feeling things would work out, but I don’t think any of us dreamed things would have turned out as perfectly as they did.”

“Dad, Pop, Noah—for the rest of my life, I will always thank God for bringing us together. I was heading towards a dead-end life until you walked into the group home. I love you all so—"

Shit! I just started to cry and couldn’t finish. I’m such a fucking baby sometimes! Noah put his arm around me and squeezed. He was teary, too! I didn’t feel so bad!

Pop was the next to speak. “Boys, we wanted to do something special for your boys as a bit of a celebration gift. While you were at rehearsal this afternoon, Dad and I hit the computer and booked you a two-room suite for the week after you finish school. You’re going to Disneyworld, and each of you can take someone with you.”

Dad started to laugh and said, “I wonder who you’ll be taking?”

“Dad, Pop—there’s something you should know. You probably think I’d be taking Liam, but something happened today.”

Noah explained everything to the dads, and they were both surprised and not surprised. Pop said he would love to go to the jail and visit Mr. Webster and just stare at him through the glass partition, slowly shaking his head. That got a laugh out of the rest of us, and we finally got up to go home.

Noah told the dads that even if he didn’t have anyone to take, the three of us would still have a blast. After all, Billy was his best friend as well as my boyfriend. Of course, all I could think about was a whole week of fun and sex with my hot-as-fuck boyfriend! Yeah—I’m a total perv now!

We got home, and the dads told us that we were going to church in the morning. I hope I didn’t look too unhappy about that, but Noah told me not to worry, that this was a pretty cool church—probably nothing like I was used to. Well, I wasn’t really used to anything. My shit excuse of a mom never took me. And my two short foster family stays had one or two church visits—one Catholic and one Baptist. Neither was a place that would have welcomed me if they knew how much I was into boys and dicks.

Later that evening, I was texting Billy to tell him that I was permanent now. While he thought that was totally amazing, he also thought that we should get together Sunday afternoon to run over “Sincerely, Me” since we would have to do it Monday morning in class.

I told him we were going to church and then out to lunch, but we could probably get together after. I would check with Noah and see what he’s feeling. I closed out the chat and went into the bedroom to look for Noah and didn’t see him right away.

I noticed the blinds at the sliding door were open, and I looked out to see Noah sitting in the dark. I tapped on the door and asked him if he wanted company.

“Yeah. Sure, I guess.”

I sat down in the other chair. “Dude, what’s up?”

He looked over to me, and I could see that he had been crying. Fuck. “Dude. Noah. What’s up? Is this about Liam?”

“Yeah. No. I don’t know. It’s more about me, I guess. It’s just so fucked up. Liam’s dad threatened he would get me back—and he did. He had to try and get back at Liam’s mom and forced them to leave town. I don’t know Nick. I don’t know if I’m ever gonna find someone.”

Noah lowered his head and started crying again. I went over to him, moved his legs off the lounger, and sat with him, taking my brother into my arms and holding him.

“Ya know, I’m probably not the best person to dish out advice on this kind of thing—but hey, you need to understand how fucking awesome you are. You’re hot. You’re smart and funny. You got a killer smile. You got a shitload of talent. There’s gonna be someone. I’m sure of that.

“But in my limited experience—and I mean very limited—it just seems that if you don’t go looking for someone, that’s when the perfect person shows up. I’m willing to bet the perfect person for you is right under your nose, and you don’t even realize it yet. That’s how it happened with Billy and me.”

“I want that, Nick. I want what you and Billy have.”

“And you’ll get it. Fuck. If anyone deserves it, it’s you. You are the most amazing boy I’ve ever met.”

“Except Billy McCallister.”

“Nope. I have to say when it all comes down to it, you even have Billy beat on the amazing thing—but if you ever tell him I just said that I will call you a lying shit! Just sayin’, dude.”

Finally, Noah started to laugh. “Nick, just so you know, you’re right up there as far as amazing boys go. Just sayin’, dude.”

That called for another hug. I have to say, Noah White still gives the best hugs.

“Nick, what were the dads doing when you came in here?”

“Oh, they were just heading into the bedroom.”

“They’re having old-man sex then. They’re gone for the night. Let’s get a buzz on, ‘kay?”

“Yeah. But before we do that, Billy wants to come over tomorrow to run over our song for Monday. What’s good for you?”

“We’ll get out of church around 12:30, and then we’ll have brunch—probably downtown. That means we’ll get home around 3:00, so he can come over at 4:00, and he can have dinner with us. It’ll just be something light, and the dads won’t mind at all.”

“Should we ask them?”

“Do you want to interrupt the nasty stuff they’re doing?”

“Ewww, no! I’ll text Billy and tell him 4:00 then.”

And I did just that. I told him that as much as I wanted to stay up and text with him all night, I needed to get ready for bed since we were going to church in the morning. We still ended up going back and forth for a half-hour before I finally let him go!

Before walking out to the deck again, I grabbed the necessary supplies and took them out to Noah.

“You feelin’ better? Sorry it took a while with Billy. I should have gotten back out here sooner.”

“Nah, it’s okay. I know none of what happened was my fault. It just wasn’t meant to be. It wasn’t in our destiny. It just sucks.”

“Yeah. I get it.” I handed the bong and the bag of pot to Noah, and he filled the bowl. “That'll help, though.”

“Yeah, at the very least, it will help me sleep through the night.”

So we got high, and with a good buzz on, we walked back into the bedroom. I decided to take my shower before going to sleep so things wouldn’t be as crazy in the morning. Sweet! There can’t be many things that are better than a nice, hot shower when you’re high!

When I finished the best. Shower. Ever., I walked back into the room, and Noah was sound asleep and gently snoring. I was happy to see him sleeping, and I’ve even gotten used to that cute little snore of his—the one he denies having! It’s weird. Hearing him snore helps me sleep better. Go figure! At least I’ll be able to get some sleep tonight!

It was about 3:00 a.m. when I woke up to something I’d never heard before. Noah was sobbing into his pillow, trying to muffle the sounds. Well, I did what anyone with half a heart would do. I crawled into bed with him and held him close to my chest. I scared the shit out of him, too!

“Shit! You scared the crap outta me, Nick!”

“I’m sorry. But Noah, it kills me to see you like this. I had to do what I could to help you. I’ll just go and—”

“No, can you stay here for a while? It really does help.”

“Whatever you want, Noah. I’m here for you.”

“You’re the best. I love you, Nick.”

So I held Noah close to me with my making small circles on his shoulder. I listened closely to his breathing, and as soon as it had settled into a nice sleeping rhythm, I gently pulled my arm away so I could get back into my bed.

Noah wasn’t going to have anything to do with that as he grabbed my arm and pulled it back into him. Oh well, guess I’m not sleeping alone tonight!

The next morning, before the alarm went off, I was having an incredible dream of Billy fucking me from behind. God, it felt fucking amazing. I was—Fuck! I woke up and found that I was still in bed with Noah. He was still asleep and was humping his morning wood against my ass. I pulled away from him the best I could.

“Dude! Wake up! You’re humping me in your sleep!”

“Wha—? Huh?—Oh, fuck! I’m so sorry Nick! I didn’t realize what I was doing!”

“Dude, if we hadn’t shifted in our sleep, I probably would have been doing the same thing to you—thinking you were Billy, of course!”

“Oh, man. I feel terrible!”

“Don’t, Noah. You didn’t realize, and when you’re this close to such a spectacular ass, even in your sleep, you can’t resist it! Now, I’m hopping in the shower and finishing what I thought Billy had started. I’ll give you time to finish your business, too!”

I leaned over and gave Noah a quick kiss on the nose. “Don’t think anything more about it. I love you, bro!”

“Shit, Nick! When did you get to be the strong one? I kinda love it! Now—go spray your load all over the shower. Just don’t forget to rinse everything down the drain. I don’t want to slip on your spooge!”

So I got out of bed with a massive with my big ol’ boner and headed to the shower, where I came harder than I ever have before with a morning jerk-off. Damn! I need a night with my boy! Maybe he can sleep over and go to school with us in the morning. I’ll have to text him later.

When I finished my shower and dried my hair, I walked out into the bedroom and found a sleeping Noah, totally naked and covered in his own cum. I have to admit, he looked hot as fuck. But before I started popping wood at the nice view, I walked over and shook his arm to tell him the shower was all his.

He woke up, glanced at the mess on his stomach and chest (nice load, by the way), and then up to me. “I’m such a fucking dork!”

He got up and headed into the shower while I went into my closet to pick out something to wear to church. I decided on a pair of khakis, my deck shoes (no socks), and my white Polo shirt. By the time I was dressed, Noah came out into the bedroom, drying his hair—totally naked.

“Dude, I’m sorry I’ve embarrassed myself with you so many times in the last twelve hours. That shit’s gonna stop now—I promise!”

“Noah, you don’t have a thing to apologize for. We both have made it clear that we’re here for each other—and when you promise to be there for someone, you gotta know it’s not always gonna be pretty—comes with the territory.”

Noah just looked at me with this sort of half-smile and shrugged his shoulders. But I have to say, just between you and me, feeling Noah’s hard cock and seeing his naked, cum-covered body wasn’t exactly a hardship if you know what I mean!

I went out to the kitchen and found Everything Bagels from Einstein’s along with my favorite, garlic-cream cheese spread. There was also a pitcher of orange juice and a pot of coffee. Perfect!

I got my breakfast together and went to join the dads out by the pool. I set my breakfast on the table and walked behind each of them, kissed them on the cheek, and told each of them how I felt.

“I love you, Pop! I love you, Dad!”

“We love you, too!”

“You’re an amazing son, Nick!”

“I know, I know. Can you handle it?”

Everyone started to laugh, and Pop playfully smacked me on the back of my head. We settled down for our breakfast, and Noah soon joined us with his breakfast in hand.

“Mornin’ guys!” He was smiling and acting his old self again. I was glad of that since there were plenty of reasons to be awkward—and that’s the last thing I wanted!

I asked the dads if it was okay for Billy to rehearse with us this afternoon and then spend the night so we could all go to school together and get ready for our performance. They agreed to it, and Dad jokingly asked if there was going to be sex.

“Dad! I can’t share that kind of thing with you—even if there was going to be sex!”

“Well, we wouldn’t want our new son to place his virginal virtue in jeopardy or anything!”

Noah about choked on his coffee and then laughed, “Right! And we wouldn’t even want to begin to think what goes on when you and Pop sneak into your room and close the door!”

“Well, if you really want to know—”

“David, you need to stop right now. Let’s just say what goes on behind closed doors in this house stays behind those closed doors. Okay?”

I’m pretty sure I was turning twenty-five shades of red. But while I was a little embarrassed, I was also never happier. I love my family. I love that we can kid around and tease each other without hurting anyone’s feelings. I just hope that I can get my comebacks in as fast as Noah can! Someday, maybe?

I cleaned up the kitchen and the dishes while the others finished getting ready for church. At about 10:00 we were on the road and arrived at the Metropolitan Community Church. Wow! The place looked like a beautiful park. The church itself looked like some kind of tent, but when you got inside, it was huge!

Everyone was happy to see the Whites—and they all seemed to know who I was, too. It was weird, but then again, it was kinda nice. Everyone seemed happy to “finally” meet me—and almost everyone hugged me as they welcomed me. I kinda like this hugging thing, by the way!

We went into the church and took a seat in the middle of the middle section. One thing I noticed was everyone was greeting each other, hugging, and talking. Not long after we were settled, the pastor came up to us. Everyone stood and hugged her, and when she got to me, she took my hands in hers and smiled.

“You must be Nick. I’ve heard so many wonderful things about you. I’m glad your dads finally decided to bring you in to see us!”

I just blushed. I tend to do that a lot, I guess. And then I just said the first thing that came to my mind. “I guess I have you to thank for the White’s bringing me into the family. Something about a challenge during Lent?”

“That’s right! But from what I’ve been hearing, it’s these three who should be thanking me. I’ve heard such wonderful things about you from your dads—even from Noah. And I hear you have a beautiful voice. I need to introduce you to our music director and see about having you sing for us sometime.”

“Oh wow! That would be awesome. But you know, Noah has a pretty amazing voice, too. Maybe we could do a duet or something?”

“We’ll talk about that later. But first, do you mind if I mention you during my announcements? So many in our congregation would love to know who you are.”

“I guess so, but there’s really not that much to talk about.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t embarrass you—too much!” She winked at me and then hugged me. “I’m so happy you are here, Nick. Welcome.”

And then she left to go and greet some other people.

“Oh God, why did I agree to that?”

Noah put his arm around my shoulder and smiled, “Don’t worry. She won’t say much. Probably just point you out so more people can hug you at the end of the service!”

As the service was getting close to starting, the musicians walked up to the stage thing in the front. Shit! The pianist was Jason, the music director from the theatre. The choreographer and the vocal coach were also a part of the group! Small world!

Before everything started, the pastor walked up to the front and started her announcements. She announced anniversaries, and there were three or four. The one that impressed me and everyone else was the anniversary of this sweet older couple. Two women who were celebrating 53 years together! Wow! Just Wow! I want that! I want to grow old with Billy like that!

And then it happened—

“Before we start the service, I have a very special announcement. Many of you may remember a little over a year ago, I challenged you not to give up the usual things for Lent. Instead, I asked you to give up your comfort zones—to think outside the box you safely lived in.

“Andrew and David White did just that. Many of you attended their wedding last year—one of the first legal marriages in our church.”

The whole place burst into applause. That was kinda cool!

“What many of you didn’t know was that David and Andrew finally listened to their son Noah and began working on finding him a brother. Several weeks ago, they brought Nick Jacobs into their family as a foster son. Just yesterday, that arrangement became permanent, and I would like to, on behalf of the entire church, welcome Nick to his new family and, just as importantly, to our wonderful church family!”

What the fuck? Not just more applause, but a freaking standing ovation? In church? I like this place!

“Now, before we greet each other, please—don’t everyone try to welcome Nick. I’m sure there will be plenty of time after the service as well. Now, please greet those—near you—as we prepare to worship!”

Well, everyone around us, and even more not so close, came by to hug me and welcome me. Dammit! I was getting close to tears again. But Noah saved the day, pulled me away from the crowds, and sat me down next to him.

“You okay, Nick?”

“Yeah, it’s just a little overwhelming, I guess.”

Finally, things calmed down, and the service started. The music was awesome! I mean, I already knew Jason played a mean piano, but the five singers were amazing. For their anthem, they sang “I Know Where I’ve Been” from Hairspray. Broadway showtunes in church! Yes!! Oh, and they killed it!

The sermon was nothing like anything I had ever heard in the other churches I was forced to go to. It was all about “God doesn’t make mistakes,” that God created all of us, and he got it right. Wow again!

I think my favorite part of the whole service was communion. When it was our turn, we got up, and as a family, we stood in front of the pastor, and she gave each of us wafers that were dipped in a cup of wine, well—grape juice. But then the most amazing thing happened. All four of us had our arms around each other, and the pastor wrapped hers around us and blessed our new family.

Shit. I started crying again. Only this time, Noah leaned in and whispered, “It’s okay, Nick. People cry here all the time. Don’t be embarrassed.”

After the service ended, it took us about a half-hour to get away. Everyone was hugging and smiling and welcoming me. Finally, by the time we walked out the doors, my face was literally hurting from all the smiling I had done.

We went downtown for brunch to this old-as-shit hotel. It’s called the Driskell, and Noah told me it was haunted—mainly in the rooms, though. Not much happens in the restaurant. Thank God for that, right?!?!

Brunch was great. Another first for me—eggs benedict. Damn! That shit was gooooood! We also had mimosas. Well, the dads had mimosas while Noah and I had them made with sparkling apple juice. If what we had was anything close to the real thing, I’m looking forward to turning 21!

We got home a little before 3:00, and Noah and I went into the bedroom to get ourselves ready for Billy to come over. We reviewed our parts of the song and watched it on YouTube so we could work on the choreo.

Billy got to the house about ten minutes before four, and we went up to the media room and worked on “Sincerely, Me,” and then I ran through “Waving Through a Window” a couple of times. I think we’re ready.

I have to admit—I’m a little nervous about returning to school in the morning. I think that’s why the dads and Billy’s parents were okay with him staying over tonight. That, and there obviously won’t be any sex stuff happening with Noah in the room with us!

Dad made meatloaf sandwiches from Thursday’s leftovers. I don’t understand why, but damn, it tasted even better. How is that even possible? After cleaning the kitchen, the three of us went upstairs and watched Shelter. It was Billy’s new favorite gay film. I liked the struggling artist storyline as much as the gay storyline. Noah fell in love with the little kid, who, I have to confess, made me happy every time he was on the screen.

About fifteen minutes before the film ended, the dads came up to say goodnight and suggested that we not stay up too late since tomorrow was our big performance and it was going to be an even bigger day for me, coming back to school and all.

After the movie finished, we took the popcorn bowls down and put them in the dishwasher. It was about 10:30, and we headed into the bedroom. Noah grabbed the bag and bong, and we headed out to the deck.

Billy had a huge grin on his face. “Wow, I sure have missed this quality deck time with you, Noah!”

For the next half-hour, we talked, laughed, and just had a great time. I couldn’t stop smiling—not just because of my buzz, but I was with the two most important boys in my life.

“Guys, this is probably one of the best parts of my life now. I mean, I’m sitting here with the two most important boys in my life—my boyfriend and my brother. And both of you are my best friends! I love you guys!”

Noah looked at Billy and me, smiling. “You know, even after all the bullshit with Hannah and the drama with Liam. The two of you are the constant. But when you think about it, despite our personal relationships with each other, the three of us together are fucking invincible!”

Billy was grinning from ear to ear. “You guys are stoned! But I love you both! I’m going to brush my teeth and get ready for bed.”

We all agreed it was a good idea and headed back inside. Billy and I brushed our teeth while Noah put the stuff away. We headed into the bedroom just as Noah made his way into the bathroom.

We both stripped down to nothing and crawled into bed, facing each other with our arms around each other. Noah came into the bedroom, totally stripped down, and crawled into his bed.

“Nite boys!”

Of course, Billy and I both were hard as a rock. I guess that’s gonna happen when you’re naked in bed together, kissing and whispering sweet things to each other!

Billy pulled himself closer to me and kissed me deeply as he started dry-humping against my cock. Well, I couldn’t help the moan that came out. What was I supposed to do? Billy quietly shushed me, and then we both started to giggle.

“Boys, just do it already. I don’t mind.”

I couldn’t believe Noah just said that. I had never even thought of having sex with someone watching, let alone my brother!

Billy leaned down to me and whispered, “You okay with that?”

“Yeah, I’m a little surprised, but—it could be hot, ya know?”

“Then let’s give our boy a show!”

Billy threw the blankets back to the foot of the bed and lay on top of me, kissing me deep and hard this time, so much that there was no way I was able to hide my moan.

“Hot,” Noah commented as he pulled his blankets down. As Billy started kissing his way down my chest, I glanced over and saw Noah looking back and smiling. He was running his hands all over his body, and his cock was standing straight up. Shit! Talk about hot!

Billy reached my cock and started licking it from my balls to the head. My whole body started to tremble, and I arched my back, trying to get my cock in his hot-as-fuck mouth.

After about five minutes of his amazing cock-sucking ability, he had me moaning like the cock-slut I had gladly turned into. That’s when he pulled my legs up and began rimming my hairless pink hole.

It didn’t take long before I was quietly moaning, “Please fuck me, Billy! I need you inside me now!”

And that’s when it happened. Billy leaned down to my ear and whispered something I never thought I would hear. I just nodded my head, but by the way my cock throbbed before I could say a word, Billy knew my answer.

He looked over to Noah and said, “Get over here, Noah. Nick and I want you to join us!”

“Oh, fuuuuuck!” Noah hopped out of his bed with a trail of precum dripping down towards the floor.

Billy took control of the situation and pulled Noah in for a deep, moan-filled kiss. Fuuuuck! That was hot as shit watching that action above me. Billy then pushed him down to me. “Kiss him, Nick. Kiss Noah.”

So I did. It was a bit hesitant at first, but then when Billy started lubing up my ass, my mouth opened nice and wide and Noah—fucking Noah—filled it with his tongue. Holy shit! That boy could kiss!

“You ready, baby? You ready for my cock?”

“God yes, Billy. Fuck me!” Both Noah and Billy shushed me. They were afraid the neighbors were gonna hear—let alone the dads on the other side of the house!

Noah broke the kiss and moved down toward the action at my ass. “Do it, Billy. I want to see your cock slide into Nick!”

Billy slowly pushed his thick cock into my waiting ass, and Noah groaned right along with me. He then took my throbbing cock into his mouth and began sucking me in the same rhythm Billy was fucking me. Now, I’d never done anything like a three-way before, but damn! Getting fucked and sucked at the same time was something unlike anything I’ve ever dreamed of!

I knew I wasn’t going to last long, so I pulled Noah off my cock. “Not yet, Noah. I don’t want to cum too fast!”

Noah moved up to me and started kissing me. “You okay with this, Nick?”

“God yes! Give me your cock, Noah!”

Noah crawled up next to my head and moved his dripping cock to my mouth, which I eagerly took in. He apparently liked what I was doing from the moan that came from his mouth. He threw his head back and started to fuck my face.

“Guys! That is so fucking hot! I’m getting close!”

“Mmmmmph, mmmph!” Hell, that’s all I could say with my mouth filled with Noah’s cock!

Billy pushed hard and deep one last time, and his hot body froze as he began pumping jet after jet of his scalding cum deep inside me. All I could do was moan around Noah’s cock, and that was enough to send him over the top as he filled my mouth and throat with his hot load.

When things calmed down a bit, Billy told Noah to come down and join him, and the two of them began working my cock over at the same time. Oh. My. Fucking. God. It was too much when I looked down and saw them kissing with my cock between their lips.

“Cumming! Cumming now!”

Noah was the one to take my cock into his mouth as I began shooting. Shit! I don’t think I’ve ever cum so much and so hard as I did then! Billy and Noah then moved up to my face, and we all had a hot-as-fuck three-way kiss. Billy could taste both Noah and me on our tongues.

Way too soon, the three of us had all calmed down, and we all relaxed with me being the center of a sexy boy sandwich.

“Wow!” That’s all I could get out.

Billy was the first to comment on what had just happened. “Nobody gets to freak out over this, okay? You are the two boys I love more than anything in the world—and I’m pretty sure you both could say the same thing.”

“That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced. Billy, I love you more than ever. Noah—ditto—I love you more than ever, too.”

Billy and I looked over to Noah. He couldn’t really talk as he was starting to cry. Billy put his hand on Noah’s face and wiped some tears away.

“Noah. It’s okay. I’m so fucking sorry if this upset you or—”

“Upset me? <sniff> I don’t think I’ve ever felt closer to two people in my entire life. I love you both so fucking much!”

I leaned over and kissed Noah. “I love you, too. You’ve always been so much more than a brother to me. I guess this is what that means now.” I then kissed Billy. “God, I love you! You always seem to know what everyone needs, and this was definitely what Noah needed—and it was even more special because of you. I love you both—always!”
