Chapter 7
As it turned out, Rob and Richie did not give their sons any more sex lectures. The schoolyard was instructive enough, especially when it’s a middle school. The boys were too embarrassed to bring up the subject again, and the fathers were too petrified.
The boys, having discovered the joy of masturbation, did so frequently, both in private and in their separate beds at night time. Neither felt any shame when they whacked off together. Perhaps it was because their fathers taught them how to do it, and they sure didn’t have to worry about getting caught, like so many kids with heterosexual parents.
As another five years went by, both boys identified themselves as straight. In fact, on the very day of their sixteenth birthdays, Michael announced that as soon as it could be arranged, he would be taking up solo residence in the third bedroom. He didn’t think that it was appropriate for two straight men to be sharing a bedroom, when there was another available. Jaden was shocked. He wouldn’t tell Michael, of course, but he felt abandoned, and it was like someone, or something, was ripping them apart.
Their cousins had begun to slack off on the Saturday pick-up basketball game. Work, and being nearly thirty, took a toll on their bodies. These guys didn’t fool around. They played a very strenuous game. Dennis was the first to fall by the wayside. He had passed his milestone thirty-fifth birthday, and didn’t want to admit that he was giving in to old age, so he jokingly said that he wanted to conserve his energy for Mac. Mac was flattered, but he didn’t believe a word of it.
Michael and Jaden were both jocks, and they began to fill in for their cousins. The retired basketball players were there as often as possible to cheer them on. Even though the boys now had separate rooms, they still shared a bathroom. After every game they flipped a coin to see who would get first dibs on the shower.
One day, Jaden said that this was ridiculous. “Let’s shower together like after gym class,” he suggested.
Michael turned him down flat. He said that a high school gym was a lot different than a shared private bathroom at home. Jaden couldn’t explain his feelings. Every little rejection by Michael of an innocent act, crushed him. He always believed that they were blood brothers, who would always love each other more than they would love their future wives.
When they shared a room, the boys used to prattle well into the night, until one of them fell asleep. Now lying in his bed, Jaden had plenty of time to think. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was in love with Michael. The thought of any little separation tore at his heart. The other day, for instance, Michael told Jaden that he was thinking of going to an out of town college. Jaden asked him where he was thinking of going, and he said that he hadn’t made up his mind yet.
Once Jaden admitted to himself that he loved Michael to the point where he never wanted to be separated from him, he began to question his own sexuality. He allowed himself to fantasize making love to Michael, especially when he was whacking off.
Jaden was well acquainted with family history. He had heard often enough how Mac was totally confused about his identity, and so was Ari, to a lesser degree. He decided to talk to Mac about his dilemma, but first he would have to swear Mac to secrecy. He got his chance sooner than he thought.
The boys had a day off from school one Friday, for a teacher’s conference, and Rob asked Jaden to bring his car in for service. He and Michael got their licenses as soon after their sixteenth birthday as they could. Rob said that it was Arlen’s turn to drive to work anyway.
Mac had been promoted to assistant service manager, and every member of his household drove a Chevy. Mac’s boss, was a great guy. He knew that Mac was gay, and that he had bonded with a gay family. He generously gave each one of them a family discount on the purchase of a new vehicle.
As soon as Jaden entered the service area, and his work order was completed, he went to Mac’s office. Mac was pleased to see him, and gave him a manly hug. “I need to speak to you privately and confidentially,” Jaden said bluntly.
Mac stood up and closed his office door. “Shoot,” he said.
“I’ve heard so many times, how you thought you were straight, and how you finally realized that you weren’t. Mac, I’m going through the same thing. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m gay.”
Mac laughed. “You should be discussing this with Ari. His gaydar is impeccable.” He laughed again.
“Please don’t laugh,” Jaden said. “This is serious.”
“I’m sorry,” Mac said, and put a serious look on his face. “Do you know the offer that Ari and Larry made to me, which they hoped would make me decide?”
“Yeah. You three guys made love together. Are you offering me the same deal?”
“Not on your life. You’re jail bait, and at your age you aren’t rational enough to make so momentous a decision.”
“I wouldn’t tell anyone.”
“I know you wouldn’t, but I would like to suggest another course of action. Is there someone who is boiling up your gay genes?”
“Uh huh.”
“Care to tell me who he is?”
“No.”
“Okay then. Go to him, and tell him exactly how you feel. In our lifetimes we all suffer many rejections. If you are rejected, chalk it up to Rejection Number One, and go your merry way. There will be others, believe me. You’re a handsome jock, and everybody loves you. I promise you, someone special will enter your life, if this jerk says no.”
“I’ll have to work up a lot of courage to do as you advise.”
“Well, work up your courage in the waiting area. I’ve got a lot of work to do.” Mac laughed.
As he left Mac’s office, Jaden asked, “If I’m still confused on my eighteenth birthday, will you offer me the same deal Ari offered you?”
“You betcha. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I love you. We all do.”
That night Jaden went into Michael’s room as they were getting ready for bed. Jaden screwed up his courage. They were both naked now, and Jaden believed a naked man is more vulnerable than a dressed one. He asked Michael why he had wanted a separate room. “I thought we had an unbreakable bond of friendship, but now I’m not so sure.” Jaden said.
“We do have an unbreakable brotherly bond.” Michael responded. “I didn’t want a separate room; I just wanted us to have privacy,”
Jaden got bolder. “Michael,” he said. “I don’t want privacy. At least, not from you. I love you so much, not only as a brother, but I love you like our fathers love each other. I want us to be together for as long as we live. If you don’t feel the same way, I’ll understand, and I’ll move on. I just needed to tell you. No matter what, I’ll always be your brother, and hopefully, the best man at your wedding.”
Jaden had laid it all out on the table as Mac had told him to do. He didn’t know what to expect, but he didn’t expect Michael to become hysterical with laughter.
“What?” Jaden asked.
“The only reason I moved out of ‘our’ room, was because I was afraid of my own feelings. I thought you were straight, and if I couldn’t resist you, and began to act inappropriately, I was afraid that you might hate me. Did you talk to Mac about this?” Michael asked.
“Yes, this morning. Why?”
“I spoke to Mac last week. I told him how much I loved you, but I thought you were straight, and I didn’t want to jeopardize our friendship. He told me in no uncertain terms, that I had to tell you, and let the chips fall where they may. He wished his eyes had been opened sooner. I’ve wanted to say something to you all week, but I was too scared, in spite of his advice.”
“He knew about you before my talk with him,” Jaden said, “and he never said anything.”
“Of course not. Our talk was confidential. But who cares? We know now.” Michael grabbed Jaden, who was as naked as he was. They hugged and kissed, laughed and sobbed, as their erections crushed together.”
“Let’s sleep in one bed tonight,” Michael suggested.
“No way. I don’t want to do anything until we confide in our dads, and have the sex talk we never had. I don’t want to hurt you accidently,” Jaden said.
“They haven’t gone to bed yet; they’re watching TV in the den. Let’s go downstairs.”
They had barely crossed the threshold of the den, when Michael yelled, “We need to talk to you.”
Rob and Richie were shocked. Not only were both their sons naked (not unusual) but they had throbbing erections (very unusual).
“You’re scaring us,” Richie said. “What’s up?”
“We’re gay, and we’re in love,” Michael blurted out. “and we want you to teach us how to make love,” Jaden answered.
Rob and Rich didn’t move. They just stared at their sons too shocked to move a muscle. Then they both got up, and embraced their naked sons. After that, they had a group hug, and finally settled down.
“C’mon,” Richie said. “You two guys are on the internet constantly. Don’t tell me you haven’t searched for gay porn sites.”
“I swear, Dad,” Michael said. “I never did that. I was too scared to admit what I was feeling. That’s why Mac so strongly advised me to come out, and not make the same mistake he did.”
“That’s true for me, too,” Jaden added.
“Wait a minute,” Richie said, “You discussed this with Mac?”
“We each went to him separately, but we asked for him not to tell anyone, and he didn’t, not even us. He just kept insisting that we tell each other how we felt.”
“Look,” Rob said, “you can’t expect your own fathers to teach you how to make love.”
“Why not?” Jaden asked.
“It’s too hard for us, but I have an idea,” Rob said. He wrote down the address of a website on a piece of paper, and handed it to Jaden. “Go up to your room, close the door, and watch this website on your computer. It’s a gay porn site, and I think you’ll learn a lot.”
“Thanks,” both boys mumbled, and they ran upstairs to get an education.
After watching several clips, they had a good idea how to make love, in different positions, with their hands, mouths and asses, but they never saw any of the actors applying lube, and they both knew that was a necessity. They agreed to have oral sex tonight, and beg their fathers for instructions in anal sex, since the film clips did not really solve the problem. They decided that their fathers would just have to get over themselves, and they would point out that they had no doubt that a straight father would give his straight son some guidance.
They fell down on Michael’s bed and decided to suck each other’s cocks one at a time instead of playing sixty-nine. They were exceptionally awkward, and their teeth scraped from time to time, but they got each other off at last. Both their cocks were sore, and they both knew it wasn’t supposed to be that way.
“We should have started with hand jobs,” Jaden said.
“I’m talking to our dads in the morning, and beg them not to be so shy. In the meantime, sleep with me tonight,” Michael pleaded.
“I’m already in your bed, and I sure don’t feel like going across the hall in a cold and drafty hallway,” Jaden laughed.
In the morning, Jaden did go back to his room, and the boys had no problem getting ready for the basketball game, using the bathroom simultaneously. They rushed downstairs to have breakfast with their dads, who kept averting their eyes away from their sons. Jaden knew that neither one was going to ask them if they had consummated their love, so he blurted out, “Dads, I don’t care if this embarrasses you, but you’ve got to help us. We had oral sex last night and we hurt each other.”
A pained look appeared on both the fathers’ faces.
“Why do you have a problem teaching us how to make love?” Michael asked.
“It’s not a problem,” Richie murmured
“Should we get the banana again, like when you taught us to whack off?” Jaden asked.
“No,” Rob said. “I’ve got a much better idea. “Ask your cousins to help you out. I’ll bet those horny guys would have no trouble giving you visual instructions.”
“Great idea,” Richie agreed. “You can ask them to meet you somewhere after the game.”
That morning, Mac decided to join in the game. Ari and Dennis sat it out. Mac was always in the best shape of all the brothers. While they were warming up, Jaden told him that he and Michael wanted to call a family conference that afternoon; cousins only. “I think you know what it’s all about.”
Mac smiled. He threw the basketball at Michael, and said, “Play ball like a man, you little wuss.” That morning, Michael and Jaden ran rings around Mac, who was on the opposing team.
After the game, the three sweaty men embraced, and Mac said, “After you clean up, come over to my house. I’ll make lunch and we can talk. Arlen and Kenzie are going to the University football game with your dads, so it’ll just be us cousins.
