Finding Another Like Me. - 15. Chapter 15

verything seemed back to normal again.

For the next two weeks Chris and I almost never stopped talking. He even got me to start texting during class… I never did that before I was always the good boy. I would go over and see him for a few minutes after school, before I went home to do my homework or go to work.

He stayed home for the first few days but then started to get back in the swing of things. At first he had to get wheel around because his body was so bruised but by middle of the second week he was able to walk.

That’s when I decided that we should go out on a date…our first date (again.) I picked him up on that Friday night right after we got out of school and we decided to go sit on the beach.

I drove right to the spot where we had first told each other we liked each other and I hopped out. I went over and slowly helped him out because I could tell his body was slightly sore, but he brushed me off and acted all macho. We walked down to the sand and plopped ourselves down. The breeze off the water was refreshing…..but cold granted it was the beginning of December and we live Massachusetts. Not really the warmest time of the year.

I sat next to Chris and pulled my hood over my head and then rested it his shoulder. I figured no one would be at the beach that we knew in December.

We just sat in silence looking out to the ocean. I heard him take a breath next to me.

I finally spoke, “Hi my name’s Kyle! I’m 17 years old and I like long walks on the beach and guys who make me feel safe.” I leaned off his shoulder and stuck out my hand.

Chris chuckled and looked at my hand and could tell I was serious. He stuck out his. “Hi I am Chris. I think I must have died and went to heaven because I saw an angel when you first spoke.”

I burst out laughing. He joined in. I just grabbed him and hugged him as tight as I could without hurting him. We laid back in the sand.

“A line? Really? Is that all I am worth?”

He chuckled again. “No…your worth every line in the book!” He gave me one of his smiles.

I couldn’t resist. I leaned over and kissed the smirk right off his face.

“I love you Chris!”

“I love you, too!” He leaned over and gave me a quick kiss. I shuddered in his arms because it was so cold. “Hey lets go get some dinner. It’s to cold out here…Mexican place?”

I just nodded and followed him to my car. We drove quickly to the restaurant and started to chit chat as we waited for our food.

“Hey Kyle. I got something to tell you…” Chris said,

I looked him a little worried, but nodded.

“Tomorrow night I have my schools winter formal dance, and I kind of agreed to go with a girl back before we got back together. Is that okay?”

I looked at him dumbfounded. “Obviously! I don’t care…wait I will only if it’s that girl Paige…please tell me it isn’t?”

He laughed at my freaking, “Nah its not. It’s Debs friend, Jess. She is totally cool.”

“Alright then. How is Deb? Her and Ben still together?”

“Nah not after she found out he cheated on her. She was done. They’re still civil just not together.”

“Oh I see. So is the girl pretty?” I questioned.

“Yeah but she’s lacking a dick so I don’t like her.” He laughed. “But I want to you to stay tonight and then spend the day with me tomorrow. Help me get ready and even take pictures with me. You know I’d rather have formal pics with you not her.”

I smiled. “Okay. Where are you guys taking pictures?”

“My house. There is a group of us. Then we are taking the limo to school. It’ll be a fun night, but Kyle Paige will be at my house taking pictures. But I promise she won’t say a word to you or I’ll kick her ass out so fast. My mom told me what happened at the hospital. It won’t happen again. I promise”

I looked into his eyes and could feel myself getting teary eye. I agreed just because it was him. Then I asked, “If you come out to them will they treat you that way?”

He looked at me thinking over my question. He took a few minutes to think, “Depends. Some of them might, but others won’t. Paige will probably and then her followers. But I’m her male equal at school so a lot will follow me. Plus I’m the football quarterback and student body president. A lot of people know me for me, so I don’t think they will care…It’s whatever though. I’m not really scared, but I don’t know when I will do it. What about you?”

I stopped for a second and thought. “Conor knows. I forgot to tell you that.”

“What! Seriously? How did he react?”

“He was cool about it. I didn’t even tell him he just knew. He was the one to finally push me to go after you again. He could tell I loved you.”

He laughed. “I guess I better started being nice to that son of a bitch!”

I laughed at that.

“And yeah you already know my parents know. And well about school. I’m not sure. It will vary. My school is pretty open and tolerate. I was running through things with the Campus Minister the other day and he was telling me how at HawkTalk after break we’re doing one about being ourselves and then sophomores later that week have a presentation on Homosexuality and openness for our Social Awareness Day. So school will go either way. Friends will vary too…. So yeah I’m just not at that point yet…”

“Okay.” He replied.

We continued to talk and just be ourselves. We quickly ate and I called my mom and told them I would be at Chris’ for the night and probably most of the day tomorrow. She agreed as long as I promised to be smart and also was all my school work done, which I lied about.

Once we got to Chris’ we rushed upstairs and decided to just strip down to our boxers and get right into bed.

I backed my body up into his warm torso, as I pulled his covers up to my chin. I felt him wrap his muscled arms around me. He nuzzled his head so it rest on my neck. I slowly felt myself drift off. This felt so right. Like I wanted to do this every night for the rest of my life and I would.

I was awoken to movement next too me. I felt groggy and let out a light moan.

I heard Chris whisper, “Sorry. I was trying not to wake you up but I got to piss. Sorry.”

I turned over to see him pulling himself out of bed. I saw his tight boxers cling to his rock hard dick. I let out a moan and he started to jog towards the bathroom. I turned over and wrapped myself in the covers and I looked at the clock. It read 12 o’clock. Wow we must have been tired and we didn’t even fool around.

I heard Chris come back into the room and came over to the bed. He pressed his knee on the bed and I felt him wrap his arms around me.

“Hi honey,” I said.

“Hey baby. You were really sleepy today,” he replied.

I turned around so I was facing him and had my hands on his bare chest. “I guess so. School has been so stressful. I have barely gotten any sleep this week. Were you awake this whole time?”

“Nah…I woke up like 15 minutes ago. I really had to go. Sorry you can go back to sleep, I can just lay here.”

I thought about it. “Nope, let’s just snuggle.”

“Okay I’m good with that.” I felt him lock his arms around me nuzzle his head on mine.

We caressed each other’s bodies lightly and just laid there. It was about another hour when we heard a light knock on the door.

“Boys, you might want to get up. It’s 1 in the afternoon.” Chris’ mom yelled through the door.

“Mom we’re up. We are just laying here. You can come in if you want.” We both laughed.

She walked in a looked at us snuggling together in bed. Then she let out a long, “Awwww!!!” She then laughed. “When you guys want to come down, I made a huge breakfast and am keeping it in the oven to stay warm.”

She walked out and closed the door.

“I love your mom.” I chuckled. “And now she said that I’m really really hungry.” I pulled myself out of bed pulled Chris up too. I then went over to Chris’ dresser. I opened the top draw.

“What are you doing?” Chris asked.

I turned and gave a devious smile. “Getting a pair of shorts.”

I found out the top drawer was the wrong. It was his underwear draw though and I proceeded to go through it. I pulled out a pair of briefs that looked really small and were like made out of spandex.

“Oh?” I turned around pulling them out.

Chris laughed. “They’re my old compression shorts for football.”

I had turned back and was pulling on a regular pair of shorts and tied them. “Sure…”

“Give me those!” He started towards me.

I ducked under his arm and ran out of his room with the shorts above my head. He bolted after me and I ran down the stairs and towards the kitchen and took a seat at the table.

“Good morning Kyle! How are you?” Mrs. Thomas said.

“Good morning Mrs. Thomas. I’m good, how about you?” I panted.

At this moment, Chris came shooting into the kitchen and lifted me out of my chair.

“Alright! Alright! I give in.” I dropped the shorts to the ground and he started laughing and kissed my cheek.

“Morning mom!” Chris said letting go of me and walking over and kissing his mom.

The rest of the day we just laid around his house until about 4:30 when I decided to shower and so did Chris, so he could get ready for tonight. We took separate showers and after I walked into his room with a towel around me and the pair of boxers I had borrowed on. I had forgotten the rest of my clothes though. When I opened the door he was standing there buff in all his glory.

I just stood there in the door way and stared at him. I closed the door behind me and went over and tackled him onto his bed. I kissed him passionately and could feel his warm body under me. I felt his dick started to grow and I started to laugh. I pulled myself off him and looked at him.

“Sorry I just had to do that just incase you decided to go straight tonight and leave me,” I said.

He stood up and his dick gave a nice swing. He leaned forward so his face was next to mine. “Never going to happen.” He gave me a light kiss.

“Sure. Now get dress. Your date will be here in no time.” I helped him get on his dress pants and dress shoes. I tied his tie and fixed his hair for him. He looked perfect by the time I was done with him. I gave him a light little kiss and then we walked out of his room because we heard people down below.

As we hit the stairs, I heard people from bellow in the entrance way stop talking and look at us. I walked down normal and turned to face him as he walked down with some swagger in his step. I just laughed.

“You look amazing Chris. You clean up quite well.” A girl from behind me said. I turned to see her. She had brown hair and was about a foot shorter than Chris. She wore a dress that matched Chris’ tie so she must have been his date. He walked over and gave her a half hug and a peck on the cheek.

“You look beautiful too,” he said.

Then I heard her voice coming from the doorway. “Christopher!!! You look hot!”

I turned to see Paige coming in a powder blue dress with sparkles on it walking towards Chris. She hugged him and tried gave him a kiss, but he turned his cheeks.

I chuckled. She turned towards me. “And what the hell are you doing here?”

I laughed and turned around and started towards Chris’ mom. I stood with her and talked with the other parents as the kids talked. I heard Chris say something to Paige about her comment.

Eventually everyone was there and they started to take group pictures. Then after a few minutes the couples broke up and started to take individual and couple photos. I moved over to Chris and his date. Deb came over and started talking to me. Her date had bailed so she took photos with Chris and his date.

I was taking a picture of Chris with his camera when I felt it ripped from my hand and saw Paige standing there. “I’ll take the picture. I don’t want your gayness ruining these beautiful pictures. Oh and Jess how about you move out of the picture and I take some of just Chris.”

She started to fiddle with the camera like she had no clue what she was doing.

“Want help?” I asked kindly.

“No!” she shouted as I watched her hit the view photos button on the camera. I watched her then stop and her mouth drop. “What the fuck!!!”

Everyone in the room just stopped and stared at Paige.

She stared at Chris. “You’re a fucking queerbag too!!!”

Chris just stared at her.

“Is this what you do when you have free time? You take picture of you two making out? I thought it was bad when he was just a faggot pawning over you, but you’re a fag too! That’s disgusting you nasty piece of tra…”

“Shut your fucking mouth and get out of my house!” Chris stared at her and said this is a normal tone. “Get out now!” he yelled the last part.

“Gladly and your done! You are completely done! Everyone will know your little secret and you will be done!”

“Good. I don’t care!” Chris shouted and pointed to the door.

Paige turned around and walked to the door. “Let’s go!” She snapped her fingers.

No one moved.

“Here’s the fucking deal, get out of my house if you have a problem with me or my boyfriend or us being together. If you don’t then your welcome to stay, but I don’t want anyone fucking treating people like shit!” Chris stated.

Everyone still froze, but then I watched Ben walk to the door and follow Paige out. Another couple I didn’t know walked, but I had no clue who they were. Then no one else moved. After a few minutes, Chris walked to the door and shut the door behind them. He then turned around and faced everyone saying, “So…”

I walked over and grabbed Chris hand and then said, “So…”

Then Deb finally spoke, “So did they take the limo or do we still get it?”

Everyone just laughed. I turned around and looked out the window to see the limo still sitting there.

“Nah you guys get it!” I said laughing.

“Good!” This guy said walking up to Chris and shaking his free hand. “Congrats man. I am proud of you. My older brother is gay and I understand how hard that was.”

“Thanks...” Chris said kind of shocked.

“And you better be good to him Kyle. He’s a great kid. You’re lucky!”

I nodded and smiled.

Well after that the photos just continued and everyone had their comments. They talked about the people that left and how stupid they were.

After a few minutes I saw Chris still a little withdrawn. “What’s wrong?” I whispered into his ear.

“Nothing just I’m shocked that Ben left…”

“Christopher…” I started but I was cut off by Deb and Jess.

“Hey guys! Chris we got a question for you!” They shrieked.

“How would you like it if your hot man joined us at the dance tonight?” Deb asked.

Both Chris and my mouths dropped.

“What?” Chris asked.

“I have an extra ticket since my date bailed. And I’m guessing you have clothes he can wear. So let’s go! You’re going to be my date!” Deb grabbed Chris and I and dragged us upstairs.

Chris looked at me and had a questioning look on his face. “You okay with this?”

“I am if you are?” I responded.

“I am loving the idea. The school’s going to know anyway. I want this,” Chris said.

“Alright then…” I answered.

We walked into Chris room and started pulling shit out. I put on a shirt and pants that Chris’ had extra. They were a little big, but they worked. Chris’ dad had come and popped his head in and gave me a tie of his that matched Deb’s dress.

After a few minutes we were all back downstairs taking pictures and having a good time.

Finally for the last picture, Chris wanted one of us. He grabbed my hand and pulled me close so he was behind me with his hands around my waist and I was in front.

“Mom, take a picture with my camera!” Chris said.

“Okay honey but where is it?” His mom asked.

We looked at each other. Then he spoke, “Shit! She took it. I’m going to…”

I looked at him. I stopped him, “Chris its whatever. Can someone just take one with their camera?”

I pulled him back to focus and Deb took a picture with her camera. Once again I was in his arms and I felt safe again, even though I knew my world was about to change.
