The Move

Chapter 23

By Doug Smith

Josh and I got home around 4:30. My mother and Scott got there about the same time. My father had said he'd be home around 5:00. Scott went downstairs to play while my mother sat down to have a cup of tea. She said she had talked with my father and they would order take-out after everyone left.

Josh and I took a few minutes trying to make his room appear more 'lived in' before my father came home. While he had his own room he had spent most of his time in my room, something I was going to miss when he went to live with his aunt. His room looked more like a spare room where someone had dropped some boxes but never used. At least that is how it seamed to us.

We didn't do much. We just put the boxes in the corner while leaving a couple open. He left his guitar on the bed and sat on it a little to give it a 'used' look.

"I can think of ways to make it look like you use your bed," I laughed.

He laughed. "Maybe you should talk to Dr. Medford about how you think about sex all the time."

I smiled. "Are you complaining? I've got over a year of built up hormones that needs satisfying and you're just the one who can help with that."

"I can't believe you didn't even jerk off the last year. That's not healthy."

I laughed. "I didn't say never, just not very often."

We knew we were probably just being self-conscious about his room. After all, he had only been here a few days and it was only temporary but we didn't want to take any chances. We didn't want our relationship to cause any issues and made sure we'd make it appear we were just good friends to anyone who didn't need to know the truth.

The last thing he did was to put a picture of his mother on the nightstand beside the bed.

I put my arm around him. "She's pretty," I smiled. "You must get your looks from her side of the family."

"I don't know. I'm lousy at seeing resemblances between people. Unless it's obvious like me and Aaron I can never really tell. I think I just look like me."

"And I like the way you look," I smiled.

My father came home around five. Jon Kinkaid, the lawyer helping with Josh's case, was with him. He was young, well young compared to my father, maybe in his early thirties. He looked like he kept himself in good shape too. After talking a while we learned he went to the same gym Josh and I went to but usually went in the morning before work. He didn't have the luxury of having his afternoons off.

After talking with the two of us a few minutes he took Josh into my father's study to talk with him alone. Ms. Irving, Jon's friend from social services was going to stop by on her way home and Jon wanted a few minutes to talk with Josh beforehand. I really wanted to be there for him but knew that wasn't possible. It was really hard watching the door close to my father's study with Josh on the other side.

My father put his hand on my shoulder and said to relax, Jon is a good lawyer and he will help Josh.

"Thanks Dad. I know. It's just hard. I really do care about him. I want to help."

"I know you do son. And you have. Your mother and I are going to help too. I've met his father. The man definitely has some issues. It's amazing Josh is as grounded as he is."

"Dr. Medford told him he should consider counseling. He met with us for almost an hour today."

"We can talk about that later. It might do him some good. If he wants to then we'll set something up."

"He'll just say he can't afford it. He's already said something about how much your time is costing."

"I'll talk to him. With what he's done for this family we can certainly help him. Besides, most of the legal work is coming out of the firm's pro-bono budget."

Around six the woman from social services showed up. Ms. Irving was a heavyset woman but seemed friendly enough. I could never understand how people let themselves get so heavy.

At first she thought I was Josh but my father explained that Josh was in the study talking to Jon. Ms. Irving talked to my father for a few minutes and then said she wanted to meet Josh. I looked in the study when my father opened the door but didn't go in no matter how much I wanted to. Josh was sitting in a chair beside my father's desk. He smiled when he saw me although it was a nervous smile. My father told me it could be a while and that I should find something to do.

I went upstairs after he shut the door. I thought I might be able to take my mind off things by doing some homework. Needless to say that didn't work. After fifteen minutes I was still looking at the same page. Fortunately Jason was on-line and I got to talk to him. I filled him in on what was happening. We also talked about me going to visit over the Christmas break. I told him I'd let him know. I'd like to spend time with Josh too and wasn't sure it was a good idea for him to come with me even though Jason thought it would be fun.

Jason had to sign off after a few minutes because he was going to meet some friends. They were all going out for a pizza. I knew the pizza shop where they were going. It brought back memories. We used to go there a lot. I wished I was going too.

After Jason signed off I decided to do my push-ups. I put on a pair of gym pants and a sleeveless t-shirt and started to stretch. Lately I had been doing some abs exercises in addition to my regular push-ups. The site I had found for the hundred push-ups also had a link for a six week program for two hundred crunches. I was trying to intermix the two programs.

It wasn't long after that before I heard Josh, Mr. Kinkaid, Ms. Irving and my father come upstairs. Ms. Irving wanted to check out Josh's room. I didn't know what she thought she was going to find. After all it was just a bedroom.

Mr. Kinkaid stayed in the hall talking with me while Josh and Ms. Irving went into his room. Even though he stayed in the hall he kept listening to what Ms. Irving and Josh were talking about, or at least the questions Ms. Irving was asking.

I also got the impression Mr. Kinkaid was checking me out. His eyes went up and down my body and lingered at my crotch more than once. Even my gaydar could tell which team he bats for. I don't think my father noticed since he seemed too busy watching Ms. Irving and Josh.

Ms. Irving didn't stay much longer. We asked if she wanted to stay and have pizza with us but she declined saying she had to get home. Before leaving she signed paperwork authorizing Josh to stay with us until he went to live with his aunt. She did say that might be longer than two weeks since his aunt was out of town and she needed to meet her first. She was concerned that might be a problem but my father assured her it wasn't.

Josh was visibly relieved after she left. It wasn't that she was a bad person but she was a bureaucrat and could have made things difficult. Fortunately she was reasonable.

Mr. Kinkaid left shortly after Ms. Irving. He said he had plans but did not elaborate. He did take me aside before leaving and told me I did a good thing getting Josh out of 'that situation'. I just told him Josh was my friend. He smiled and said "that's obvious."

I smiled at him when he said he knew how I felt. He didn't come right out and say it but it was obvious he was confirming my suspicion he is gay as well. "Don't worry," he smiled. "I'll do what I can to help him."

"Thanks," I said. "Are you sure you can't stay for pizza?"

"No. I have to meet someone," he smiled. "You'd like him. Maybe we'll see you at the gym sometime."

I laughed thinking of how he was checking me out upstairs.

"Not like that," he laughed. "I'm sorry for staring at you upstairs. I couldn't help it."

"It's okay. I thought it was funny but I'm taken," I smiled.

"Me too. Besides, you're a little young for me. I can still appreciate a hot guy though," he whispered since my father was coming.

"Same here," I smiled. "Even if he is old."

We stopped talking when my father and Josh came back into the room. Jon told Josh he had to leave but would be in touch. He said to hang in there and everything would be alright.

For supper my mother ordered pizza. Being a Tuesday they weren't very busy and it took less than thirty minutes before it was delivered. I recognized the delivery boy from school but didn't know his name. He seemed to know me and not in a favorable way by the way he acted. My father asked what that was about but I told him I had no idea. Josh told me he's a friend of Phil Clayton.

"Good thing he didn't know who he was delivering to before he got here," I laughed. "Next time we better order from somewhere else. No telling what might be on the pizza."

My father wasn't amused but I told him it was okay and explained that Phil was the guy who had hassled Josh. He still didn't seem pleased and said to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.

I told him I wouldn't but that if Phil started anything he'd be sorry.

"I've been working with Josh too. He's learning quick. He'll be able to give Phil a couple of surprises if he tries anything."

We tried to relax while eating pizza. I actually indulged and had a piece of pepperoni in addition to my normal veggie deluxe. Josh seemed subdued although that wasn't surprising. I'm sure talking to Dr. Medford, meeting Mr. Kinkaid as well as Ms. Irving was difficult. I don't think he said a word and after eating a slice of pizza asked to be excused saying he had some homework.

I wanted to go with him but he said he was okay and really did just need to do homework. He said to finish eating and we'd talk later.

My parents wanted to know about my appointment with Dr. Medford. They thought it was good he felt we could cut back on our appointments but that he wanted to do it slowly. My mother said she agreed it was too soon to make drastic changes. It wouldn't be unusual if something happened resulting in me having a setback.

"You don't know how things are going to work out with you and Josh."

"Mom, Josh and I are doing fine. You don't have to worry. It isn't like Aaron and me though, it's different. I mean, I don't want anything to happen, neither of us do, but I really think I'll be okay if we don't make it. I've learned that life goes on."

"That's good Dan."

"I wanted to ask you something. Josh and I are going out Saturday night but can we have Chris and Ryan over Friday night. I thought we could sleep in the basement, watch some movies and stuff like that."

"I don't see why not. You know we don't mind when you have friends over."

"I know. We might see if Becky and Mike want to come over too. I haven't asked anyone yet. I wanted to ask you first."

"It's okay with me, no beer or anything, right?"

"Of course not Dad. We'll just watch movies and play pool."

"Can Tommy come too?" asked Scott.

"I don't know Scott. I haven't talked with Chris yet. I only mentioned it to Josh briefly. It was just an idea I had."

"If he comes then we can all go to karate together on Saturday."

I smiled. "For a munch you make a good point. I'll ask Chris but you have to promise to be good and you're not sleeping in the basement."

Josh was busy doing homework when I went upstairs. He was using my computer. I tried to talk to him about what Mr. Kinkaid had said but he said he needed to finish his homework and that we could talk later. He did say he was okay.

"It's okay I used your computer isn't it? I have to look up some stuff for my paper. I shouldn't have taken that business class then I would have a study to get my homework done too."

"It is nice if you use it. I only have a little homework then I'll go downstairs to play with Scott. I got most of my work done in school. Scott challenged me at Wii," I laughed.

"He's pretty good. He might beat you."

"I know. I used to let him win. Now I have to actually try. He's learned how to do that fast serve. It's all timing but he seems to have it down."

"Have fun. I'll be down in a while. Before you go tell me, what are these large files on here? They're huge."

I laughed. "I probably should delete those. You really want to know?"

"I was just curious."

"They're encrypted disks. They show up as data files but if you mount them they're like their own file system."

"You really have some stuff that is encrypted?"

"Scott uses my computer too. He may know about me and Aaron but there are some things I wouldn't want him to find by 'mistake'. Not sure I'd want anyone else to find them by accident either."

"So they're of you and Aaron?"

"Yeah, I should probably get rid of them. I just can't bring myself to do it. Let's just say he and I got into making videos for a while."

"You are a perve," he laughed.

I laughed. "We were fifteen. Nobody saw them except us. He had a copy on his computer too. They're probably still there unless his mother deleted them. I think she's using his computer now."

"And she can't see what they are???"

"Nah, they're password protected and I don't think she could guess his password," I smiled.

"You knew it?"

"Yeah, why not? He knew mine too. I never used it or anything. Why? Do you want it too? You're showing a little too much interest," I laughed. "And you called me a perve."

He blushed. "I'm just curious. I can't imagine making anything like that."

I smiled. "Don't worry, I won't ask you to. I probably wouldn't now. It was just something to do at the time. Some of them will make good blackmail pictures if you piss me off."

"I'm not worried."

"Good," I smiled. "You shouldn't be. Do you mind that I haven't deleted them? It's not like I watch them but once I delete them they're gone. I will if you want me to."

"No, it's okay. I can't ask you to do that. If he was just your ex-boyfriend I'd probably feel different. I mean, I'd have a problem if you had just broken up but that's different. Just promise me you won't show them to anyone."

"Believe me, I definitely don't want people to see them. I mean, you can if you want, I'll tell you the password. I can't imagine you'd want to but you're welcome to if you want."

"Aren't they kind of private?"

I laughed. "Yeah, but I don't want to have any secrets from you. I'm just saying I don't care. I not suggesting you watch them. Knowing what he and I did and seeing it are two different things."

"The only reason I'd even think about it is because of the resemblance. I don't know, that's probably sick."

"Maybe, but honestly I can see why you're curious."

"You really wouldn't mind if I saw them?"

"Here, let me mount the disk, you can decide how much you want to see."

"Alright, show me just how much of a slut you are," he laughed.

I smiled. "There's nothing that bad."

I brought up a slide show with Aaron and me in various poses. We were naked in most of them but we weren't doing anything. Aaron's birthmark was clearly visible in a lot of them.

"Wow, he does have the same birthmark as me."

I laughed. "I told you. You two could be twins so if you piss me off I'm going to print some of these out and hang them up in the cafeteria. Maybe one of these," I said bringing up a couple more pictures. In one Aaron was lying between my legs, my cock in his hand and a big shit eating grin on his face.

Josh laughed. "Maybe I'll wipe your drive. Then I won't have to worry."

"It wouldn't do you any good. I have backups," I said smiling.

Josh frowned.

"Relax, I'm just joking. Forget I said anything. Have you seen enough?"

"What about the videos?"

"Are you sure? You know the type of videos they are, right?"

"I don't want to watch them for that. I'm just curious about him."

"Alright, but remember, I love you."

"I know. It's okay. I want to see one. Just don't tell anyone, okay?"

I brought up a video clip taken the same day as the other pictures. Aaron was in the same position except he was sucking me, going up and down on my cock. You could hear me moaning and telling him to suck harder. Josh cringed when he heard me moan, telling Aaron how I couldn't love anyone like I loved him.

"Sorry," I said. "That was stupid of me. I forgot that was on there."

Josh just looked at the monitor. "It's okay. I know he meant more to you."

I squatted down and turned the desk chair so that he was looking at me. "Stop right there Josh. ...That's not true."

"You said you couldn't love anyone as much as him."

"No, that's not what I said. It may be semantics but I said I couldn't love anyone 'like' I loved him. That's true. I didn't say I couldn't love anyone as much. To me there's a big difference. You've shown me I can love again. Yes, Aaron and I had a special bond. We knew each other all our lives. You and I haven't known each other anywhere near as long so of course my love for you is different. That doesn't mean I can't and don't love you just as much. You have to believe that. Please tell me you do."

He just looked at me studying my face. I was worried what he was going to do. I knew I shouldn't have shown him the videos. I don't know why I did. I looked into his eyes. I didn't know what else I could tell him. It was like he had to make a decision and his mind was going over what I had said, deciding if he should believe it. I just held my breath waiting for him to say something. There were tears in the corners of my eyes.

Finally his expression softened. "I'm sorry, I know you love me. It's just hard not to feel like the consolation prize."

"You're definitely not the consolation prize. True, we probably wouldn't be together if Aaron was alive. We probably wouldn't even know each other but that's not how things are. You and I did find each other. Maybe we were supposed to. If I hadn't been so fucked in the head the last year we probably wouldn't have met either. I would still be in Chicago doing who knows what. Instead I'm here and I found you and I'm very happy about that. I probably shouldn't have shown you these."

"No," he smiled. "I'm glad you did. Just don't let anyone else see them. Nobody would believe it wasn't me. What are some of these other ones?"

I smiled. "Just more of the same. Like I said, we got into taking videos for a while. You don't want to see them. Why don't you do your homework and I'll go play Nintendo."

Josh grabbed the mouse. "No, you said I could see them. I'm not a perve but I want to see."

He picked another clip at random. I wasn't sure it was a good idea but I didn't want to hide anything from him either. In this clip Aaron was kneeling over my chest pointing his cock at my face.

"Come on Danny, open up. I know you want it and you know you want it so why don't you make things easier and open those sweet lips of yours."

Josh laughed when Aaron slapped his cock against my face. "Come on Dan, take it, don't be a jerk. You don't want me going somewhere else to get off." I smiled and opened my mouth only to have him fill it with his cock. "That's it, suck my cock. Take it all. The only time you're quiet is when your mouth is full anyway," he moaned.

"Oh yeah Danny, that's good. Show me how much you love my cock. That's it, suck those cheeks against it. ...You like that don't you, you probably looked at my cock in the nursery and wanted it."

I put my hands on Aaron's ass and he started to fuck my face. He pushed his cock deep into my throat holding his crotch against my face.

"That's it Danny, yeah, just like that ...oh yeah."

Josh was watching intently. I had my hand on his shoulder and was leaning against him. It did look like he enjoyed it since he had an obvious bulge in his pants.

"Josh?" I asked rubbing his crotch and kissing his neck.

Aaron kept sliding his cock in and out of my mouth as I sucked him. "That's it Danny, you're about to get what you want."

I loosened Josh's pants and pulled out his cock. He looked surprised but didn't object. He looked at the screen when Aaron moaned again. I knew the clip was almost over and Aaron was about to shoot his load. Maybe it was sick but I was horny and it looked like Josh was too. I lowered my head and put my mouth over his cock. While Aaron was fucking my mouth in the video I slid my lips down Josh's cock.

"Oh Dan, I'm close," moaned Aaron.

"Oh Dan," added Josh.

I have to admit it was pretty cool hearing them moan my name at the same time. Alright, maybe it was a little sick but it drove me wild. I rubbed my crotch against Josh's leg as I moved my mouth up and down his hard cock. I could hear Aaron moaning and knew he was about to shoot. I remembered he shot his first streams down my throat and the rest on my face.

"Here it comes Danny, get ready. ...Ohhhhh yeah man, here's what you want."

Josh moaned loudly and his body began to shake. He rested his hand on my head, not pushing but just resting it there. I could feel he was close. It was so exciting knowing he was going to shoot while Aaron was filling my mouth on the video. I don't know if I was rubbing against Josh's leg or he was rubbing me with his leg but either way I knew I'd be changing my pants before going downstairs too.

Just as Aaron shot the last of his warm cum all over my face Josh began to fill my mouth. Hearing them moan brought me to the edge as well. I resigned myself to needing to change my pants and didn't fight it. I just let it go shooting in my pants while Josh shot down my throat.

"Oh God Dan," he said leaning back in the chair trying to catch his breath. "Is that what a threesome is like?"

I laughed. "I don't know. I've never had one and to be honest that's as close as I ever want to come. I'm not good at sharing, especially someone I love as much as you. It may be selfish but the thought of you and someone else makes me sick."

"Don't worry, I don't want a threesome either. I feel the same. It would really hurt if I saw someone else get you off, at least in real-time," he smiled. "Doing it while watching you and Aaron was kind of fun. Maybe we can we do it again sometime."

I smiled. "And you called me a perve? Maybe we should talk to Dr. Medford about that. Anyone who gets off watching my dead boyfriend fuck my face while I suck his cock has some serious psychological problems."

"Me??? What about you? That spot on your jeans says you liked it too. You liked hearing your name moaned in stereo, admit it Thumper"

I laughed. "Yeah, I did. It was hot." I leaned down and took his soft cock in my mouth again to clean off the last few drops that had come out the tip. Then I fastened his jeans. "Now do your homework. I need to change and go down and play with Scott. I'm surprised he hasn't come up and banged on the door."

No sooner than the words were out of my mouth there was a bang on the door. "Come on Dan. You said you'd play tennis with me."

Josh laughed. "He's got good timing. Let me help you change," he said as he reached for my jeans.

I smiled. "I'll be right down Scott."

I quickly changed into some workout pants. "I love you," I said giving him a kiss.

"I love you too. Now go play with your brother and let me do my homework."

"Ahh," I pouted. "You're much more fun to play with."

Scott and I played a few games of Wii before Josh came downstairs and I took a break. He didn't seem like his exuberant self but did laugh when Josh lost the first game. It was fun watching the two of them battle it out. Alright, I might have been looking a Josh's ass in his jeans but it was fun seeing him have a good time with Scott. They really had formed a bond, like brothers. Josh saw me watching and smiled. He asked if I wanted to play again but I said I'd watch, Scott wore me out. They played a few more games before my mother came down to tell Scott it was time for bed. Scott enjoyed playing but didn't seem his usual self.

Josh and I played a couple of games of pool after my parents went to bed. He was still unwinding from meeting with his lawyer and social worker. Fortunately she approved his staying with us until he went to stay with his aunt, whenever that would be. She still had to get approved by social services as well. That would be delayed since she was out of town. While I had no problem with that I really wanted what was best for Josh.

"How's your lawyer?"

"He's okay. He seemed like he cared and wasn't just doing a job. I think he's gay though."

"I know he is. He didn't hit on you or anything did he? I'll kick his ass."

He laughed. "It's me that should be worried. I saw the way he looked at you. He was definitely checking you out."

"You don't have anything to worry about."

"Maybe not with him but someday someone you like might try hitting on you."

I sighed and pulled him into a hug. "Josh, you can't think like that. You don't have anything to worry about. It's you I want. I wish you'd believe me. Besides, someone you find attractive could hit on you too. A lot of guys our age won't respect our relationship but you don't have anything to worry about. ...We do have that type of relationship don't we?"

He smiled. "Of course we do. I have what I want right here."

"Good, now let's go to bed. I need to take a shower. Want to join me?"

"You think we should? What about your parents?"

"They're in bed but I don't think they'd care anyway. They know we're sleeping together and they're not naive enough to think we're just sleeping, especially when they hear you moaning," I laughed. He just put his head on my shoulder as I held him.

"I still wonder what they're really thinking when they look at me."

"They think you're a good guy. Let's go."

Josh was a little reluctant but decided to join me in the shower. We stripped to our boxer-briefs in my room and then went across the hall to the bathroom. It was nice seeing his body in the light. Other than the locker room the lights had been off a lot of the times I had seen it. He had the type of body I really liked, lean and defined. I don't know why it was so defined since he didn't really work out but it was. He also had a nice trail leading from his stomach down to his crotch. Other than that he was pretty smooth except for a little hair on his legs.

He saw me looking and smiled as we pulled off our underwear. I turned on the shower to get some warm water before taking a piss. I smiled when Josh joined me. My cock started getting hard as we stood next to each other.

I had always enjoyed taking showers with Aaron. With him it was different, I think we had taken baths and showers together all our lives. I remember taking baths with him when I was a real little kid. Later we'd take showers at the same time if not together. We'd come home from karate and often take a shower at the same time, if not together. I guess we were just comfortable being naked around each other.

Some people might think two teenage boys taking a shower together is all about sex but that isn't the case, at least for me. To me taking a shower with someone is very intimate. The water blocks out the rest of the world and it is just the two of you. It's really peaceful just holding each other and making out under the hot water. I could stay like that forever. But a shower is for other purposes too.

You should have seen Josh smile when I took some shampoo and started to wash his hair. At first he was surprised but then gave me a huge smile. It was fun kissing him while running my hands through his soapy hair. His hair wasn't long but it wasn't short either. I let my fingers massage his scalp as I continued to kiss him. I don't know whether it was my hands on his head, our kisses or our hard cocks rubbing together but it was obvious he was enjoying himself.

"You know all that experience I tell you that you have," he moaned as I wiped some soap from his eyes. "I'm glad you have it. I wouldn't have ever thought to wash your hair. It's nice. It's pretty gay but it's nice."

I smiled. "Aaron and I had to learn as we went. We actually read a lot on-line since we didn't have anyone to talk with. A lot of the stories we read were all about sex. They were hot and gave us plenty of ideas but we both liked stories about guys being in love more. As far as washing your hair being gay? ...I am gay in case you hadn't figured that out and washing your hair isn't the only thing I have in mind."

He smiled when we kissed again and true to my word I didn't stop with his hair. Next I took my Axe body wash and started washing his body. I ran my hands over his chest and gave him another kiss. "I love you."

I put more body wash on my hand and began running my hands over his chest and stomach. I did circular motions around his pecs and down to his stomach. He laughed when I ran my hands along his side and through his armpits. Like I said, showering with someone you love can be very intimate.

After finishing with his upper body I squatted down to wash his legs. His hard cock was pointing at my face but I ignored it. Using both hands I ran them up and down his legs, one at a time.

"Lift your leg," I smiled. "Do you expect me to do everything? I need to get your feet."

I put more body wash on my hand and proceeded to wash both feet, one at a time. I felt his hands on my shoulder to steady himself as he lifted each foot, one at a time obviously.

Once his feet were washed I stood up and held him again. I washed his back while holding him against me. He smiled when I ran my hand over his ass, especially when I pushed my fingers between his cheeks. He held on tight and kissed my neck when I rubbed my fingers against him. It was fun helping him explore his feelings.

"You're not going to cum when I wash your cock are you?" I asked smiling.

"You better not cum when I wash yours either. I have other plans on how to make that happen."

I smiled. "I can't wait."

Josh showed he was a quick learner. He followed my lead and proceeded to wash me just as I had washed him. We shared one more passionate kiss before getting out of the shower and drying off.

Josh showed he was a quick learned in bed as well. When I started kissing his chest he pushed me back and said "Not tonight. Tonight is your turn."

He then tried to replicate what I had done the previous night. He really did a good job for his first time even though he scraped my cock once with his teeth.

"Sorry," he said when I jumped.

"It's okay, you're doing fine and you can have all the practice you want."

He smiled and put his lips back over my cock. It really did feel good. It wasn't the best blowjob I'd ever had but it was definitely the best one in the last year. Okay, it was the only one in the last year but it still felt good. He really tried hard to please me. One time he tried to swallow too much and started to gag. After that he backed off and concentrated on using his tongue and cheeks.

"Josh, that feels great. You are a quick learner. I'm close though. You don't have to take it if you don't want. It's okay."

"No way," he mumbled as he kept sucking me. "I want to."

That was all it took. "Ohhhhhhh, Josh, I love you."

He kept sucking until my cock started to soften in his mouth. After licking any remnants he crawled back up next to me.

I smiled. "Did you enjoy yourself?"

"Did you?"

"Very much. You did great. Thank you."

"I really did okay? You're not just saying that are you? It was my first time and I know you..."

I knew what he was going to say and I gave him a kiss to shut him up.

"Josh, don't over-analyze things. You did great. I hope you enjoyed it too because I expect many more."

"I did and next time I'll do better. I won't be as nervous."

"I can't wait but right now it's your turn."

"Let's wait. I just want to stay like this."

We laid holding each other and talking. He told me about his meeting with Mr. Kinkaid. He still hadn't been able to find his birth records. The hospital where he thought he was born had no record of a Joshua Sullivan being born there. He said he was checking other hospitals and towns.

Josh said Mr. Kinkaid told him not to worry but I knew that was like telling a rooster not to crow. I knew he was worried he'd have to go back to live with his father once he got out of the hospital. Mr. Kinkaid told him that wasn't going to happen, at least not right away.

"Josh, things are going to work out. I know how that sounds, people kept telling me that things were going to be okay for the last year. People's words, no matter how well intentioned, didn't help much, even if they were my friends. Just try not to worry so much."

"What I have learned is that they were right. As long as you have people who care about you and who are willing to help you then things will work out. We're in this together. I will do anything I can to help you. I know I'm just a kid but my parents will help too. I know they will. I'm pretty sure your aunt will as well. I know she loves you. I know you're going to worry but try not to and please let me help."

I don't know if Josh heard everything I said or not. When I looked at his face he was sound asleep. I laid on my side watching him for quite a while. He was so cute. I gave him a gentle kiss causing him to smile and snuggle up against me. We were in pretty much the same position when we woke up in the morning except he was watching me.

"Morning," I smiled giving him a kiss.

"Your breath is gross."

"So isn't yours, I don't care."

"Good thing I have to take a piss," he said squirming out from under me.

"Hey, you might want to put some shorts on before running across the hall," I laughed. "They better be loose too"

"Asshole," he said. "Everything is in my room."

"Guess your trapped then."

"Then I'll piss on your floor."

I laughed. "There are some shorts in my bureau. Help yourself."

He pulled on a pair of my running shorts and ran across the hall.

Josh and I drove Scott to school before going to school ourselves. I didn't mind, I liked Scott. He was pretty quiet this morning however. He definitely wasn't his usually exuberant self.

"What's wrong Scott? You're pretty quiet. You worried I didn't buy you a birthday present?" I laughed.

"No, I know you wouldn't forget."

"Then what's wrong? You haven't said two words since we left."

I was looking in the rear view mirror and Josh was half turned around looking at Scott.

"Yeah Scott," said Josh. "You usually talk all the way to school."

"Promise you won't be mad?"

"Scott, you know I won't get mad. We're almost at your school though, we don't have much time, so shoot. What's up?"

"Are you and Josh having sex?"

I almost went off the road.

"Scott?? What do you know about sex and why would you ask that?"

"Jimmy told me about it. He says it's when you let someone touch you."

"Scott, we don't have time for this right now. Who is Jimmy? He didn't touch you did he? ...Scott?"

"No. I knew you'd be mad."

I stopped the jeep and turned around.

"Hey munch, I'm not mad. I'm just concerned. Sex is one of those things you'll learn about as you get older. It isn't something you need to worry about and you shouldn't learn about it from another eight year old. He doesn't know what he's talking about."

"He's nine."

"It doesn't matter. He still doesn't know what he's talking about. Are you sure he hasn't tried to touch you? If he did, or does, I want you to tell me. Promise me that. I won't be mad. I love you, you know that."

"He wouldn't do that. He says boys that do that with boys are faggots. He said they'll go to hell. He says that's what his father says. Are you a faggot Dan?"

I cringed when I heard Scott use that word. I knew he had to grow up someday but he was still so young. Why did it have to be so soon?

"Scott, that's not a very nice word. It hurts people. I know you don't want to hurt people. You also know I like boys instead of girls. I love Josh and he loves me. Some people think that's wrong, that it's bad. Do you think I'm bad?"

"No Dan. I love you. I just don't want you to go away. That place doesn't sound very nice."

"I'm not going anywhere and I love you too. It's different from how I love Josh. I love you like a brother. You can count on me. Right now though you need to get to school or you'll be late and Mom will be mad at us. We can talk more tonight. You shouldn't use words like that. Okay? Mom and Dad wouldn't like it if they heard you and I don't like words like that either."

"I'm sorry. Are you still going to ask if Tommy can come over Friday night?"

"Yes, munch. Now let's get you to school."

Josh had been listening while I was talking to Scott. I gave him a hug and told him to have a good day. I planned to talk with him more after school. After he got out Josh looked at me and smiled.

"You handled that well."

"I hope so. He's too young for that shit. I want to talk to him more about 'Jimmy'. I'm sure he's just repeating what he's heard but he doesn't sound like a good influence."

"Don't be too hard on him."

"I'm not mad at Scott. Something like this was bound to happen sooner or later. I just hoped it would be later. He's still a kid. I know he's going to learn stuff from other kids but I want to make sure he learns the right things."

"It'll be fine Dan. He just heard a new word. At least he didn't ask you while Ms. Irving was there last night. What's this about asking Tommy to come over Friday? Was he talking about Chris's brother?"

"I thought I mentioned it. I asked my parents if Chris and Ryan could sleep over Friday night. We're going out Saturday but I thought we could have a party Friday night. Maybe everyone could come, Tim, Abby, Mike, Becky, even Randy if he'll talk to me," I laughed. "When Scott heard he asked if Tommy could come."

"Sounds good. I'll talk to Randy. Chris might not want his brother there though. He doesn't know about him and Ryan. You better put a leash on Scott."

I laughed. "I'll talk to him. It'll be fine. It's not like we're going to have an orgy after the straight guys leave."

"When are you going to tell me where we're going Saturday?"

"When we get there. Don't worry, you'll like it."
