Life of Phoenix - 4. The Start of Something

Current Time: Lakota's POV

It was one of those days where everyone leaves the teenage boy at home. Yes, that meant walking around in my underwear, sitting out in the living room and watching a little bit of porn.

I guess I should introduce myself; I'm Lakota Austin, Lyric's younger brother. That's what a lot of the older kids at school call me. I'm just a typical fourteen year old teenager. I hide out in my room, on my computer or gaming system, while everyone is at home. When they are gone, I creep out into the living room and watch some TV by my lonesome.

The thing almost no one knows about me is that I like guys more than girls. I don't know if I'm gay, but a definitely prefer guys. I watch a lot of gay porn man... I even managed to convince a kid two years older than me to let me blow him. Fuck man, so awesome!

So I guess when I said I was a typical teenage boy I was lying. I wouldn't say being into guys is normal, but it's weird for me. The first person I told was my sister. Since Phoenix was her best friend, I knew I would be fine. She's also the only person who knows soooo...

Anyways, back to the whole me being at home in just my underwear thing. Sweet teenage freedom. That is until an unexpected guest shows up. Theo walked into the living room. I quickly wrapped a blanket around me, too little success.

“What are you doing here?” I questioned my sister's boyfriend.

He raises an eyebrow, “Tight briefs huh? Never would have pegged you as one of those guys.” Ya, I wore briefs still. I hear all about in when I have gym. Everlast makes really comfy tight briefs sue me.

“Never like the idea of loose. Now, what are you doing here?”

“I was seeing if Lyric was home. She told me your parents are out.”

I nodded. “Ya, she's out with Nix right now. I don't know when she'll be back.” Please go away I want to stay like this for another few hours.

No such luck, he sat down in dad's chair. “So you're a room kid?”

“What do you mean by room kid?”

Theo rolled his eyes. “It means that you hide in your room until no one is home, and then you spend all the time you want out of it.” YEP, that's me! I kind of blushed. “I never understood that. I spend a lot of time with my dad watching sports and stuff. We go out and do stuff together.”

“Our dad is busy with work and stuff.” He was a district manager for The Source. He was often busy going out of town. “He doesn't have much for spare time.”

“Must suck.” I repositioned myself, so I was more under the blanket. I didn't like other people seeing me naked... I was kind of bigger. Not like fat but I had a bit of chub on me. “When do you think your sister will be back?”

“No idea Nix is coming over afterward.” Nix was hot! I mean I wouldn't date him but fuck, man was he sexy. The room went quiet for a bit. When a commercial came on I looked over at Theo. “You know Lyric isn't going to be here for a few hours. Why stay here?”

“Well, I have this... problem.” Wait what? “I was hoping she could help me with it. I guess I'll have to go home and help myself.” He's talking about being horny isn't he? Oh god why!?

Okay, when I told Lyric I was gay she started asking about every guy she liked. When she brought up Theo, I practically melted. Theo is a great athlete and a good guy. Like every gay kids, wait, boy who is attracted to other boys dream. The odds of Theo being gay though were like... Lyric not being my sister odds.

“What kind of problem is it?” Why am I asking this? It's not going to happen Lakota!

“That kind of problem that stops you from going to bed at night. The kind that you refuse to shower after gym class because of.” I stared blankly at him. He was talking about a boner, and I was boning up because of it. He facepalmed and sighed. “Boner issues dude. God get a little older.”

“I know what it was... I'm just surprised you're telling me of all people.”

“Have you ever tried anything with another guy?”

“WHAT!?” What the hell is going on? Seriously, what the actual hell? “Theo, what are you here for?”

“Want to try blowing someone?” Oh, my god, this was happening! “On one condition though, you leave the blanket there.”

I just stared at him awestruck. He just asked me to blow him. Like seriously asked me to blow him... I swallowed the saliva that was in the back of my throat. “You won't tell anyone if I do it?” He shook his head. My entire body felt like it was on fire as I stood up. My boner was clearly visible from the bulge in my underwear. “Okay... I'll do it.”

Theo started undoing his belt. “You're the best Lakota. I won't tell anyone as long as you don't tell Lyric. I'd get beaten pretty badly by her if she found out.”

“You and me both!” Lyric would get grounded for life after it, but she wouldn't regret it for a moment. When Theo finally got his belt undone he dropped his pants and underwear. “Wow...” He was at a full mass of like eight inches.

I licked my lips. “Like it?” I nodded. “Fly at her.”

His cock was beautiful. He was uncut and had pretty big balls. It looked like Theo regularly shaved down there because there wasn't much hair. He was the perfect specimen.

I took his cock in my mouth taking in about half before gagging. “Don't push yourself. Just get used to it and cradle my balls, please.” With my left hand, I grabbed his balls. “Fuck ya, just like that!” I got so excited about all of it; I just wanted to have him in my mouth.

His cock... man yes! His foreskin peeled back as I went back down on him. My tongue slid down his head; man did it feel big in my mouth. Theo placed his hands on the back of my head grabbing my hair.

All too soon his cock twitched, and Theo pushed me down as he thrusted. Somehow his entire cock got into my throat. His cock pulsed as he cam down my throat and in my mouth. Some escaped my mouth and dripped down my chin.

Theo let go of my head, and I quickly removed his cock from my mouth and began to cough violently. “Sorry buddy, shit got intense. I was super horny. You okay?”

I licked my lips. “Ya, that was fun, I guess.” The taste of his cum remained in my mouth. I kept swishing my spit around. Can this taste just stay in here forever? “You should probably get dressed; we don't want this to be more awkward than it already is.”

“Fair enough, little dude.” Theo got himself together as I stayed on the ground. I had a boner... one of those boners where it wasn't going to go away unless you do something about it yourself. It's embarrassing, even after blowing your sister's boyfriend. “Got an issue that needs a tissue?”

“Shut up...” I turned away from him. “You can watch tv or something; I'll be in my room.” I quickly bolted out of the room. Fuck, how did this even happen? I blew Theo... If Lyric finds out about this, I'm dead. Oh so very very dead.

Nix's POV

Lyric and I were just finishing yet another shopping adventure. We were finally in a store both of us could enjoy, HMV. After spending hours upon hours in all kind of girly stores

“Have you seen Divergent yet?” Lyric held up the movie to show me.

“Ya, it was really good. Kind of slow and the major plot is in the background for the most part.”

“That sounds like you're insulting it...”

I rolled my eyes. “Basically, she's hiding that she is a Divergent, and she gets found out during the last part of the movie. The hype point was almost sub-plot for most of the movie. I liked it; that's all that matters.”

“Sounds lame.” She put the movie back on the shelf. “Oh hey look at this, the Harry Potter series, guess who hasn't seen all of that...”

“Hey, that snake thing in the second one is scary as all hell!” I don't like reptiles, snakes more so than the rest. They just creep me out. “I'm convinced that it only gets worse from there. Oh, look at the Lord of the Rings...”

"Okay, you win.” She hadn't seen them. Smeagol/Gollum freaked her out when she was little. She's scared of him for life. “Are we done here? Can I go home Theo is probably there by now?”

“Nope! Not until I check the anime section!” There is this one anime that I downloaded and watched, but I really want it on disk. It's called Gurren Lagann, if you haven't seen it WHY NOT!?

“Are you still looking for that silly mecha anime?” I ignored her. It's better that way. “Anyways, while you're doing that I'm going to pay for this shirt. I'll meet you at the door.”

I waved her off. “Ya ya, meet you, doorway.” Yes bad English but I was on a mission. When I got to the anime section, there was a guy looking at it as well. Back to the mission though, Gurren Lagann... “Dam, still not here...”

“Nix?” The guy spoke. When I took a look at him, I quickly realized who it was. Max Harper looking at anime? What is this and who was this Max? “What are you looking for?”

“An anime you've probably never heard of.” The Max I knew despised anime. Well didn't despise them... just never enjoyed them as much as I did.

“Try me.” I've been issued a challenge it seems.

“Gurren Lagann.”

“Oh, you mean this?” He showed a box set of the entire series. It was only 27 episodes fill with epicocity though! Yes, I'm trying to sell it to you some more. My jaw was probably on the floor, for the fact that he knew what it was. “Surprised I actually like anime?”

“How do you know about this? It's not mainstream anime.” Well not like MAIN mainstream but it wasn't an outcast anime either. I went to grab it from him; he sent it farther from me. “Please, just let me see it!”

Max laughed, “Why should I do that?”

“Please please please please please!!” I begged him. “I won't take it from you, I just want to see it, I promise!” Again Max laughed but handed me the set. I was in awe, all 27 episodes in one box. So. Much. Want.

“Looks like you really like it. Almost like you want to kiss it or something.” My hip went out, and a tilted my head. You know that stare girls do when they are like 'really?' it was that kind of stare. “Okay, I take it back. You want to come over and watch it with me? I haven't seen it yet but hear it’s like the best thing in the world.”

“Because it is the best thing in the world. Nothing beats manliness, nothing.” Max looked at me quizzically. “Trust me manliness is the way of the future. On the coming over part, you live on the other side of town. I can't just waltz on over whenever I want to.”

“I can drive you there and home later.” Why is he so persistent? I mean ya, we're talking a bit more but is that an excuse to hang out? “Mom is making her famous Chicken Broccoli casserole.” Game changer!

Drool had to be coming from me after he said that. “Okay, I'm in!”

“Into what?” Lyric glared at me. She then noticed Max. “Oh hey, Max. What are you doing here?”

“Lyric, you can head home; I'm going over to Max's.”

She looked at me and blinked once. “Okay, bye!” And just like that she was gone. She didn't want to leave Theo hanging now did she?

Max and I shared a laugh as we went and paid for our things. Max had gotten a truck for his birthday/Christmas the year he turned 16, so last year. He's done some work on it and now that he can drive without supervision, which he does a lot.

We had made it to his house in the hour. “Hey, mom!” Max called out into his house.

Man, this house has barely changed. Still the yellowie walls that should really get painted. The smell of something being cooked. Max's mom was a caterer and cooked most of her things at home.

She called back, “Hello Max how was the mall?”

“Pretty good, got what I was looking for and then some!” Max disappeared into the kitchen. “Casserole almost done?”

“It just went into the oven. You can wait a bit for it.”

I sorta considered that a good cue for me to speak up. It must have been like four years since I'd been in the Harper Household. “I don't think I can wait that long though.”

Mrs. Harper looked at me for a moment before realizing it was me. “Phoenix!” She dropped what she was doing and gave me a hug. Luckily not literally drop because that looks like brownie or chocolate cake mix. “It's been much too long. What brings you here?” Her hands still rested on my shoulders, but she had backed off to get a better look at me.

“Max and I have similar taste in shows and he got the last copy of something I've been looking for awhile now. So we're going to watch it together.” I offered an awkward smile. “Is that brownie mix?” I may like brownies too much...

She sighed. “Yes, it is. Enough for the dinner I am making for tomorrow night and some for us. You're welcome to have SOME, not all.” I might have eaten all her brownies one time. She didn't notice until an hour before the dinner she was serving. “Well, it's good to see you. I need to get back to cooking now. You can go watch your show in the living room if you want.”

Mrs. Harper gave me a kiss on the cheek as she went back to work. She's an awesome person. She took Max, Cooper and me too many places by herself. She's brave; we were dirty rascals growing up.

“Okay, I'll set up the show, you get comfy.” Max smiled as I sat down on the couch. My legs were up on the couch with me, I sit like a girl sometimes. Max turned, saw me and shook his head. “Always with the legs up on the couch.”

I rolled my eyes. “I'm not going to change suddenly, you butt.”

“Whatever, let's just watch the show.” He sat down on the couch next to me, extending his arm over the back of the couch around me. Max turned on the show, and we started watching the manliest anime in history!

It didn't take long for Max to pull me into a full snuggle. I always did enjoy snuggles. It was always me who snuggled up to him more than the other way. Pretty quickly Max was rubbing my side. I tensed up at first but settled down after a moment.

His hand went into my pants. “Max, your mom is in the kitchen...” I whispered to him.

“And?”

I looked up to talk to him. Before I could say anything, his lips were gently placed on mine. Slowly we made out ignoring everything else that was going on. His hand went deeper into pants, towards my behind.

I grabbed his arm. “Max, no.” I could barely speak I was so out of breath.

He pecked my lips again. “Nix, I miss this.”

I tried to gather myself and whimpered, “Not right now Max. Stop.” This is what happened before; who I'm with gets too aggressive and doesn't listen. It frightens me sometimes. I grabbed his arms and pressed my face against his chest.

His hand retracted and started to rub my back. “I'm sorry Nix...”

“Can we just go back to watching the show now?”

“You don't want to go home?”

I shook my head. “I want to spend more time with my best guy friend again. Even if he does like me like I like him.” I rested my head against his shoulder again, and we went back to watching the show. Max... something’s don't change.

Past Time: Grade 5

A 10 year old Phoenix and his class had entered into their first sex ed class. Simple things that they can expect to see in the future. As a group of 10 year olds they were awkward, as to be expected.

When he went home though, he had more questions for his parents. “So when will that 'stuff' start happening?”

His mother and father were making dinner. “In a few years. Some kids might start earlier than others.” His father replied.

“Why though? Aren't we all the same?”

Mom took this question. “You're not all the same. Yes, we're all people but we're different in a good way.”

“How are we different then?”

“It's like how Max has black hair, and you have blonde. It's part of your genetics.”

Phoenix looked at his mom... “Oh, you mean 'jeans'!” He pointed to his pants. “So it's like how boys and girls are made!” When he had asked his parents a while back, they gave him a watered down science lesson.

“Exactly! In people's genes, it starts making you grow up sooner than others.” Mr. Russell added to his wife's explanation.

Phoenix smiled and jumped down from his seat. “Thanks!” He commented to his parents as he went off to his room to play.

Grade 7

“Happy birthday!” Max screamed to his best friend, Phoenix.

It was Phoenix's birthday; he had just turned 13. He had decided to have a sleepover the day of his birthday and had the celebration the day after. Max was the only on invited to the sleepover.

The Harpers had just arrived to drop Max off. They only planned to stay a few moments, enough to say 'happy birthday' and visit for a few minutes. “Happy Birthday Phoenix,” Mr. Harper said over Phoenix and Max jumping around and talking to each other.

Phoenix settled down for a moment. “Thank you Mr. Harper.” He smiled towards the man. “We're going to go in the back yard, okay mom?”

“Sure.” And just like that they were off. Cooper trying to catch up and play for the brief moments he would be there. Mrs. Russell smiled at the teenage boys playing in the back. “They grow up so fast...”

“They sure do.” Mrs. Harper agreed. “So what was the big news you had about Phoenix?”

Mr. Russell cleared his throat. “Well, it's not so much 'big news' as he confirmed our suspicions a few weeks back.”

“Oh, and what was that?” Mr. Harper was curious.

Mrs. Russell turned around to the adults currently in her kitchen. “Phoenix told us he was gay.” The room was left to an awkward silence. “Ever since he was little, we thought it was true, but he confirmed it a little while ago.”

“How did that conversation go Trisha?” Mrs. Harper asked Phoenix's mother.

“Actually, quite well. He had just gotten home from hanging out with friends; he had the look that said 'I had way to good of a time' on his face. When I asked him, he just told me he had a really good time with friends.”

Mr. Russell continued. “I told him that his face told a different story, someone tried to hush me. It was then he said that some of the guys took their shirts off, and he liked what he saw. I asked if he thought of girls like this and he just told us 'no dad, I'm gay. Girls are gross. ”

“I took offense to that but kept to myself. I was just happy he's comfortable enough to tell us these things. Even if it turns out to be a phase, I'm happy for that.” Mrs. Russell turned her attention to Phoenix again.

Mr. Harper digested what was just said. “Max is very in himself, for lack of better words. He keeps to himself and gives us one-word answers mostly. I wish he were like Phoenix in that way.”

Mrs. Harper looked towards her husband, catching his comment. “And what if he turned out to be more like Phoenix?”

He shook his head. “Let's not think about that, let's enjoy the time we have to ourselves tonight.” Mr. Harper got up. “We really should be going, thank you, Trisha and Scott. Enjoy your boy's special day.”

Mr. Harper went out into the backyard to grab his youngest son. Mrs. Harper stayed in the kitchen. “I'm sorry for Ian's comment. I plan on making a big deal out of this.”

Scott waved her off. “It's fine Liz; I'm sure he didn't mean it that way.”

Ian Harper came back inside with a pouting son. “Okay, let's get going, again thanks.” Liz placed her hand on her son's shoulder and led him out of the house.

Max and Phoenix spent most of the day outside playing around. When it grew dark though they made their way inside to video game consoles. They played games until the wee morning. By 1am Phoenix was yawning while resting in the hold of his best friend.

Max had turned on a movie a while back; he noticed Phoenix's state. “You're not going to fall asleep are you?”

Phoenix yawned, “No, you're crazy.”

Max rolled his eyes. “Ixnay the ieslay.”

Phoenix looked up at his friend. “What?”

“Nix the lies.” Phoenix raised his eyebrow in confusion. “It's pig latin.”

“You and your foreign languages.” Again Max rolled his eyes.

With a squeeze and a squawk from Phoenix, Max burst into laughter. “What was that, Nix?”

“You squeezed me!” Phoenix got up and turned to his friend. “And what did you call me?”

“Nix, you know like 'Ixnay' but less pig latin.”

Phoenix thought to himself for a moment. “I like it... I have a nickname!”

Max smiled as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against his friends. Nix was caught off guard but after a moment returned the kiss. Relaxing Nix found himself resting on his friend's chest more and more.

What am I doing!? Max thought to himself as his hands explored Nix's back. Why does this feel so right? Phoenix is my friend, why am I kissing him?

Similar thoughts were racing through Nix's head. Wow... This is happening. I'm kissing Maxwell Harper. His hands are on me and his lips... perfect.

They separated, and both boys blushed. “That was... something.” Nix made the first comment.

“Sorry...” Max turned away.

Nix turned his friend's face towards him again. “Don't be,” and pressed his lips to his friends again. They both closed their eyes and let their lust take over. Nix placed himself over Max, whose hands were slowly making their way down his back. They stopped their kiss for a brief moment. “Just go for it.”

As they continued their kiss, Max placed his hands on Nix's behind. Before Nix knew it, he was on his back with Max grinding into him. They were so caught up in the moment, neither one thought it was real.

Nix had thought of Max in a romantic way since they first met. It wasn't until sometime in the past year did he realize it, but Max was his biggest crush. He wanted to kiss him, as they were now. This was Nix's dream realized.

Max however, had just discovered these feelings. What he was doing, he thought it was wrong, but it felt too good. Max was grinding his crotch into his friends like he was having sex with a girl. Nix was a boy; this didn't make sense to him.

Nix found his way into Max's pants and undid the fly. “Sit back, and enjoy.” He told in his lust.

“What are you going to..” Max was interrupted by Phoenix taking his private part out from his underwear and straight into his mouth. “HOLY!” Max almost screamed.

Nix smacked him and looked up. “Shut up! Mom and dad are going to hear!” From that moment on Max remained quiet. Nix blew his first cock as Max got his first blow job. To both of them, it was the best thing that had ever happened to them at that moment.

Max shot a small load into his friend’s mouth. Nix spat it out into the waste basket close by. “Sorry...” The older boy blushed as he did up his pants again.

“It was just unexpected is all. Did you like it?” He nodded. “Cool... Want to go to bed now? I'm really tired.”

“Ya, so am I,” Nix smirked.

The two boys stripped down to their underwear. Max laid down on his side, Nix quickly placed himself in front, in a spooning position. He pushed his butt against his friend's soft cock. Max couldn't help himself, and found his way into Nix's underwear and played with his cock. They fell asleep like this, their first and last time...

Chapter End.
