Chapter 25
 

I was torn but my parents knew better and forced me to leave and go home with them. I dozed off in the car on the way home and then was soon asleep once I got into bed. I was woken by the ringing of my phone and when I answered it, Dan told me that they would be round in an hour to pick me up to go to the hospital for the morning visiting time. I thanked him and jumped out of bed and walked naked to the bathroom knowing that there would be no one at home but me. I got rid of my piss and then brushed my teeth before stepping into the shower. The warm water and soft sudsy soap soon got a part of me more awake than the rest of me and I took care of it before finishing my shower. After drying I hung up the towel and stepped out of the bathroom to walk back to my room to get dressed.

"My we are showing off today." Mum's voice froze me to the spot. Which was not the best thing to do as I was facing where she was talking from and giving her a full frontal view of me. Something she had not seen in that state since I was about four or five. A couple seconds later and I became unfrozen and leapt back into the bathroom where I grabbed a towel and quickly wrapped it around my waist before stepping out very red faced in front of my mother who was grinning from ear to ear.

"What are you doing at home?" I demanded in my shock.

"A mother can't be in her own home now?" she asked back, teasing me and increasing my embarrassment.

"You know what I mean." I wailed.

"Yes dear, sorry, but I must admit that if I were not your mother and several years younger I would have looked with a different intention. You have grown into a nice shaped young man." Mum continued to increase my embarrassment. Especially as though mum was referring to my full physical shape I just took it in that moment to be that she was talking about my package and nothing else. Then mum continued, "You don't need to be embarrassed, I do know what naked men look like so this was nothing to startle me."

"It startled me though," I responded as I made my way towards my bedroom. "I need to get dressed as Dan will be here soon to take me to the hospital to see Mike." I excused myself to get away from further embarrassment at the hand of my mother.

Dressed and downstairs, I managed to get a glass of orange juice down and spread some butter and jam on a muffin which I would have to take with me as my breakfast because I heard Dan's car pull into our driveway. I shouted a good bye to my mum and dashed out the door to save Dan having to turn off his engine. I greeted both Dan and Michelle and asked if they knew how Mike was.

"They said he was comfortable and stable this morning when I phoned." Michelle answered. "How are you though?" she asked.

"I have not really had time to think about it as I was still asleep when you phoned and then I had an interruption to my plans as I stepped out of the bathroom." I said.

"I hope you did not slip and hurt yourself." Dan said looking in the rear view mirror so he could see me.

"No, it was worse than that. I might as well tell you because you will hear from someone else if I don't. I thought I was the only one at home and had not got my clothes ready when I went to bath and as I left to go back to my room to dress mum saw me." I admitted.

"Oh dear, yes I can see how that would set your plans back a bit." Michelle said and turned to look at my red face with a huge smile on hers.

Dan just chuckled a bit and then said, "I didn't know you were a bit of an exhibitionist. Michie maybe we should allow these two to go naked at our home if they want to show off so much." Dan was teasing me by making the suggestion to Michelle but she took it seriously.

"Well, I have no objections. After all they both have nice shaped bodies and no doubt would look much better without the camouflage of clothing on." She said.

"I'm beginning to wish I had not told you even though I know mum or dad would spill the beans the first opportunity they get." I said rather embarrassed.

"Well Steve, I was just joking but I would not object if you or Mike decided you wanted to go naked in our home, just as long as you don't show yourself as nature intended when we have other visitors." Dan offered.

"Thanks Dan, but I don't think I will take that offer up. Just a few seconds in front of my mother today was more than enough for a lifetime." I admitted.

"Well if you change your mind the offer is there. And we will make it to Mike as well." Michelle said.

Fortunately we arrived at the hospital and this brought an end to this conversation as we all kept an eye out for an empty parking bay. Dan found one and pulled into it and then handing me some change asked me to go and get a parking ticket. Getting away from the two of them for those few brief moments was something of a relief and I hoped that when I got back the conversation would not be around anything to do with my naked body.

Mike was much more lively when we walked into the ward and saw him. I went straight up and leaning over I kissed him before I thought of the number of people who might have witnessed this and the chance that it would out both of us to more than just our parents.

"How are you doing now?" I asked.

"Well the pain is now located around the stiches where they sliced me open and I can cope with it. The injections in my butt are something else though. Not only is there the embarrassment of some strange person not only seeing but also touching my naked butt, there is also the pain of the needle piercing me and coupled with that is the pain of having to move my body and twist the operation wound." Mike complained.

"Well be thankful it is professionals doing the injections and not your mum." Dan teased.

"Oh yes! Ask Stevie about that." Michelle added.

I gave her a pained expression and told Mike that I would tell him when he would find laughing more comfortable.

"Oh dear. Yes! I never thought of that." Michelle said and then fell silent.

"They are talking of keeping me in for observation at least until Friday and possibly only letting me out on Saturday morning, so I guess that will put the clamps on Carrie's party as far as I am concerned. And certainly the sleep over is out for me." Mike said looking at me and his parents. I knew what he was saying was right and I was not going to even try to talk him round. Michelle and Dan were nodding their heads and I knew from that quarter that they would not try to get him to go to Carrie's party and would in fact ban him from going if had tried to. "But you must go. I know you will be the only guy at the sleep over, but there will be other guys at the party itself and with two guys down and your good looks you will be able to dance the night away." Mike told me.

"No! If you can't go I will stay with you and look after you." I said.

"No you can't let Carrie down. She did not let us down for our parties. You need to be there." Mike said.

"And I will be at home to look after Mike." Michelle said.

I reluctantly agreed knowing that they were right and I was outnumbered.

The talk about Carrie's party reminded me that Carrie did not know about Mike's situation and so I decided I had better let her know. On the way home I got out my mobile and sent her a text "Mike is in hospital, call me when you get a chance" I typed and pinged it off to her.

I must have been home for about half an hour when my phone went and it was Carrie. I told her the whole story about Mike and how now he would not be able to come to the party even if he was allowed out of the hospital before it. I also confirmed to her that I was still going to be there to hold up our end of the agreement but would understand if her parents did not want me to sleepover. Carrie promised to talk to her parents but also insisted that they would not stop me from sleeping over. I was not too sure I fully believed Carrie on that score and so resolved to talk to my parents about it when we were together in the evening.

Carrie must have talked to her parents right away because as soon as my parents walked in the door of the house they gave the perfunctory greetings and then got straight into the subject of the sleepover. "Kevin called me while we were out and he insists that it is okay for you to sleepover if you want to even though now you will be the only boy to sleepover. He also said that with just the one of you he has a special and safe place for you to escape to if you need it." Dad said.

"We're still happy for you to do it and I think Carrie really needs it seeing as how the other two have had to pull out of that. How do you feel about it?" mum said and asked.

"I can't say that I am not a bit nervous about it, but also I don't want to let Carrie down while on the other hand I would like to stay with Mike and keep him company." I answered truthfully.

"I am sure that Mike will be in very good hands if he is out of hospital by then and the two of you can cope apart for a bit you know." Dad assured me.

"Yeah, I know. Michelle said she would look after Mike and he was adamant that I should not let Carrie down seeing as how she came to all three of our parties; but I kind of feel that I will be letting Mike down if I go out and enjoy myself when he can't through no real fault of his own." I argued.

"That is a fair argument, but I think you will find that dilemmas of this nature are all part of being a couple and you need to decide how you will handle them. Personally I think you should honour Mike's request otherwise he will feel guilty that he stopped you from having a good time." Dad countered my reasoning.

"Your father is right on this or I don't know Mike as well as I think I do." Mum added.

"Why do I have to have such wise parents?" I wailed. "How can I ever win an argument with you two?" which was my way of acknowledging that they were right and also admitting that I had really known that from the beginning but had not wanted to admit it to myself.

"Right I will let Kevin know that you will stay for the sleepover. Steve we trust you and know that if anything does start to get out of hand you will do what you need to do. Make sure you have protection with you in case." Dad said causing me to turn scarlet for the second time that day. "And I would make a point of making sure you have sufficient clothing when you step through a doorway." Dad added letting me know that mum had spilled the beans to him at least.

"Mo-o-the-e-e-r! Who else have you told already?" I cried.

"So far only your father, but then you beat me to it with Mike's parents." Mum said.

"Only because I knew you would be telling them the first opportunity you got and now you have just proved me right." I responded.

"And that proves that you know your mother well also." Dad chuckled and got a killing look from mum which got me chuckling as well and actually broke the slight tension that had built up.

"And despite that I still love both of you and appreciate that you are some of the best parents around." I admitted.

"We love you too, son, and are really thankful that you are one of the best teens any parents could wish for." Mum said.

"Stop, stop! You'll have me weeping next." I teased.

"Only because my hand will be making your butt sore." Mum threatened and dad burst out laughing which got both mum and me laughing as well.

"Come on let's go together and sort out what we will have for tea. Unless of course Steve you want to try to be the Naked Chef?" Mum got in with another tease.

"That would really shock you if I stripped off and did start helping you in my birthday suit." I countered. "Or would dad get jealous?" I asked, tongue in cheek.

"Your father has no reason to get jealous. You are both very good looking with or without clothes and like I said this morning I would have to be younger and not your mother." Mum countered.

"Have you thought about a career in politics darling?" Dad acknowledged that mum had given a very good answer which neither took sides nor committed her in any way.

After we had finished eating our tea I excused myself and went up to my room. I needed some time to think things through and try and work out where I stood with the girls now that I was in a real relationship with Mike. I was lying on the bed in just my boxer shorts when there was a knock on the door and dad called out asking if he could come in to see me. I said it was okay and then got up to pull on some shorts but dad was in before I could retrieve them from where I had kicked them as I took them off earlier.

"It's ok son, we are both guys you can stay as you are." Dad said, "I am not going to be long anyway. I just wanted to say that I know that you and Mike are in a relationship, but I also know what it is like to be a horny teenager and there is a good possibility that one or more of those girls who are sleeping over might also be as horny as most teen boys are. That is why I have advised you to take some condoms with you and I mean it. I don't know if you have any, so in case, here is a three pack. And no I don't want them back if you don't use them. You will use them with Mike once he is well enough anyway. And don't be embarrassed about your mum seeing you in all your glory. She says you are definitely hot and it is no wonder you have both girls and guys chasing after you. And seeing you just in your boxers I can tell that what she is saying is true. Be proud of yourself."

"Thanks dad. Does this mean you are giving me permission to have sex?" I asked holding the pack of condoms up but with a big smile on my face to show I was only teasing.

"It's a little late for that; isn't it?" He asked. "After all the girls did give you guys blowjobs while waiting for their turn to get a lift after your party and I am sure you and Mike have probably gone further than that. No, I am just being realistic, in a day and age of sexual freedom that has not been seen since the Greek and Roman empires I think."

I had no response to that which confirmed to dad that he was right and I was shocked that he knew about the girls. His assumption about Mike and me was not such a surprise.

Dad must have seen the puzzlement in my expression because he quickly explained as he stood at the door of my room, "those girls could not wait to compare notes on what happened and their voices were not kept that low that I could not hear every word they said. They thought they were soft enough, and because I did not say anything probably were convinced I could not hear."

"Typical, it was a bit of a surprise, but we did enjoy it." I said again sporting a big grin and dad just gave me a thumbs up and said good night as left the room closing the door behind him.

Back on my bed still just in my boxers I started to think around things that I thought I had kept from my parents but that maybe they did actually know about and the thought got me a little nervous at first. But then I thought that if it really bothered them they would have said something because we were like that in our family.

With a myriad of thoughts whirling through my head I almost levitated when the ringing of my mobile phone startled me out of those thoughts.
