Chapter 18

The next day Callum and Alexander had their early lunch and then headed off to Bradley's house first, and the three of them walked on together to Dominic's house. The door was opened by Dominic's younger brother Benjamin who at first only saw Bradley but soon afterwards noticed Callum and then Alexander. Benjamin's eyes opened a bit wider but he didn't say anything as he stood aside for the three to enter.

"Hi Ben, is Dom in his room?" Bradley said cheerfully.

"I think so." Benjamin said without returning the greeting.

Callum and Alexander also greeted him but got no response as Bradley led the way upstairs to get to Dominic's room. They knocked on the door and announced who they were before Dominic could ask them. Dominic granted them permission to enter and Bradley opened the door. As Alexander was about to step into the room he had to turn slightly and saw Benjamin at the foot of the stairs looking up at him with what Alexander took to be a mean expression. If he had had the time to look longer he would have seen the glint of extra moisture in Benjamin's eyes from tears about to be shed. He would also have seen sadness and loneliness in those eyes, but there was not enough time for that as Callum herded him into the room and closed the door.

"I needed you guys here earlier because mum's not working a full day and will be home earlier than normal and I also have to stay home and keep an eye on Ben." Dominic explained.

"Well we better get on with it then. How do you want me?" Alexander asked.

"Well naked would be a good start and then lying on the floor the same as you were in the tent.

The three boys had kicked off their shoes in the hall downstairs and Alexander quickly took off his socks and then his shirt and shorts confirming to the other three that he was still keeping to the terms of the forfeit.

"Do you want him hard or soft to start with?" Bradley asked as he lay down on the floor behind Alexander the same way he had in the tent.

"Oh hard; so go on and have your fun." Dominic said grinning as Bradley made sure it was his hand that was going to have the fun.

It didn't take much to get Alexander hard. Just having his boyfriend's hand there was enough but Bradley was not going to let it be just that and wrapped his fingers around Alexander's cock and began to slowly and gently pump it. Dominic also sat on the floor while Callum moved over and sat on Dominic's bed. Dominic got Alexander to move around a little bit to get him positioned properly; and then worked for about five minutes before he told Bradley to let go of Alexander's cock and move his hand away. Bradley moved his hand to the back of Alexander and began to tickle his bum cheeks to help him stay hard longer. Another twenty or so minutes later Dominic declared he was finished and told Bradley he could now make his lover cum. Bradley needed no further encouragement and moved around pushing Alexander onto his back so that he could suck Alexander's cock into his mouth and give him a great blowjob. Although the three older boys had kept their clothes on, there was no mistaking the excitement revealed by the bulges in their jeans; and their excitement grew as Dominic and Callum watched while Bradley did the deed.

Seeing Alexander's cock sliding in and out of Bradley's mouth as he bobbed his head up and down on it, and then the indications that Alexander was really getting turned on by it through his squirming, groaning and lifting his hips off the floor in an attempt to push his cock deeper into Bradleys' mouth. The two non-participating boys also saw the movement in Bradley's neck as he swallowed the saliva his mouth was making mixed with the precum he was licking off Alexander's cock. Callum even thought he had seen when Alexander's scrotum tightened pulling his balls up just moments before he arched his back forcing Bradley to lift his head a bit and then the spasmodic jerks as Alexander pumped his cum into Bradley's mouth.

Once again the throat muscles could be seen working at making sure the stuff went the right way down into his stomach. Suddenly Alexander slumped, dropping his bum back down on the floor and catching Bradley unawares which pulled his cock completely out of Bradley's mouth. As it flopped against his stomach a small bead of cum splattered from the half covered tip and rolled the few millimetres to drop into his navel depression. He lay there panting as if he had done some strenuous exercise but with a grin on his face. Once he came down off of his orgasmic high, Alexander moved to a sitting position but made no attempt to cover up or get dressed. In a very short space of time he had become so comfortable with these three older teens that he felt no need to hide anything from them. They had all seen him hard and knew that he was at the very least bi and enjoyed guy on guy sex so what else was there to hide? Being both accepted and treated as an equal by them had gone a long way towards producing this comfort. Learning that he was not going to be teased or mocked helped too.

The four boys chatted together for a while longer during which time the three older boys lost some of the bulk in their bulging jeans. Alexander began to get dressed and none of the others questioned, it but Alexander could see the question on his brother's face who knew that Alexander liked being naked in front of others. "I'm going to go and see if I can talk to Ben for a bit. He looked kind of angry that I was going in your room while he clearly was not invited." Alexander explained. This shocked the three teens but they left him to it and Alexander left the room and went downstairs. Being unfamiliar with the layout of the house he began to walk from room to room in search of his class mate. Alexander found the kitchen first and saw that it was empty of human life. The next door off the hall led to an equally empty dining room, but the third revealed the sitting room with Benjamin lying on the sofa on his side watching a television programme.

"Hey! Mind if I join you?" Alexander called from the door, which caused Benjamin to jump a bit and then look over the arm of the couch at Alexander.

"Suit yourself." He answered.

"Thanks." Alexander said and walked into the lounge and sat down in one of the armchairs opposite the sofa.

They watched the television in silence for a while and then Benjamin asked; "What did you have to do to get them to let you join them?"

"Nothing. I got to join them for the sleepover in our new tent and I guess they felt I was okay to be with them at other times." Alexander said.

"They've never let me join them." Benjamin said, and Alexander could hear emotional pain in his voice but did not know it to recognise it for what it was.

"Have you asked them?" Alexander said matter of factly.

"I asked Dom before and he said I wouldn't be allowed in a hundred years." Benjamin said and this time Alexander could hear in his tone that there was something more.

"Why did he say that?" Alexander asked.

"He hates me for some reason." Benjamin stated.

"Oh, that's harsh." Alexander said looking over at Benjamin. He noticed that Benjamin's eyes were red and puffy as if he had been crying. Then a small tear trickled from Ben's eye and he brushed it away with his hand. "Why do you think he hates you?"

"Because no one likes me; everyone hates me." Benjamin said.

"I don't." Alexander answered simply.

"Then why don't you talk to me?" Benjamin asked.

"I'm talking to you now." Alexander pointed out.

"But you don't talk to me at school. You act like you don't even see me." Benjamin shot back.

"I hang with my friends just as you hang with your friends." Alexander said.

"Sometimes some guys are with me but they're not friends. They just want to see what I'm going to do." Benjamin admitted.

"So why do you think you have no friends?" Alexander asked.

"I dunno. I think they're all scared of me." Benjamin said.

"You mean they're scared you might make them do something for you if you find out something about them?" Alexander said.

"Do you think everyone thinks that?" Benjamin asked.

"I can't speak for everyone, but I've heard lots say that." Alexander answered truthfully.

"Do you think that's why I've got no friends?" Benjamin asked again and Alexander could see he was very close to tears. It appeared to Alexander that Benjamin had been needing to talk to someone for some time and he had just come along as the dam was about to burst.

"It might be." Alexander answered

"What can I do about it though?" Benjamin asked again.

"I don't know except that somehow you're going to have to show people that they don't need to be scared of you anymore. Then maybe some will become your friends." Alexander replied.

"How do I do that?" Benjamin asked, showing that he was desperate for some help.

"I don't know. Maybe you should try with Dom first. Try and show him that you love him rather than fighting with him all the time. Tell him you want to be friends and ask for his help. I think you'll find he wants something like that." Alexander said.

"Who'll want something like what?" Dominic asked walking into the room. Neither Benjamin nor Alexander knew if he had heard anything more of their conversation and were uncertain of how to respond.

"I was asking Alex how to get some friends and he said I should maybe try with you first." Benjamin said after a bit of silence; and the nervousness he felt saying that could clearly be heard in his voice.

"And Alex thinks I might want to be friends with my little brother?" Dominic asked.

"It would be better than fighting each other all the time." Alexander said, giving Dominic and Benjamin each a reason.

"Do you want to be my friend?" Dominic asked his little brother.

"Yeah I do. I want someone to talk to and play with." Benjamin answered.

"Well we'll have to talk some more and work out some things and see how it goes then. When my friends go, you and I can talk. But we'll also have to talk about the things that we do that upset each other. That might be hard to take." Dominic said.

"Could I suggest something that I've learnt just recently with me and Cal?" Alexander asked.

"What's that?" Dominic asked.

"We discovered that we really do care for each other but we weren't friends because we didn't try to understand each other. When we told each other how we felt we realised that each of us was wrong about the other. I thought Cal just saw me as a pesky little brother who should be ignored. And maybe I am a bit pesky, but Cal didn't see me that way. He thought that I was too young for him and wouldn't understand him. But actually I knew more about him than he knew I knew and I understood him better than he thought. I think when you talk you might find the same thing. We can now help each other without fighting about it first." Alexander told both brothers.

"And Ben, I've seen that with Alex and Cal. It'll take some talking and doing but let's at least give it a try. What do you say?" Dominic said.

"If I asked if your friends could go home now so that we can start trying, would that be rude?" Benjamin asked smiling for the first time that day.

"What are you being rude about?" Bradley asked as he and Callum joined the group in the sitting room.

"It seems that your little brother's going to be a diplomat when he grows up." Dominic said. "He's got Ben and me to agree to talk about becoming better brothers to each other, and maybe even friends."

"All I can say is go for it. The difference in my life since Al and I become friends as well as brothers is worth any effort you have to put in to get there." Callum told them.

"And I can also say how much better it is to go around their house now that they're friends instead of brothers at war." Bradley said.

"So you want us guys to go to leave you alone to talk it through?" Callum asked.

"Err, sorry, that is kind of rude though." Dominic said.

"That's what you were asking about isn't it?" Bradley said looking directly at Benjamin and receiving a nod to confirm he was right.

"Well, in the interests of world peace and brotherly love, I for one won't be offended at being asked to leave. We came down to find you guys because that's what we were thinking anyway." Callum said.

"And what's the point of having friends if you can't tell them to fuck off some times?" Bradley asked grinning broadly and causing the others to laugh.

"I hope it goes well for you two." Alexander said. "Bye, and good luck."

"Yeah, let us know how you get on." Callum said.

"We'll see you later." Bradley said.

All three boys left the house and waited till they were on the street before Callum asked what Alexander had done to get Benjamin to talk to Dominic.

"I don't think I did anything more than just talk to him. I think he's been very sad and lonely for a long time. There's no one that he can actually call a friend. Just hangers on waiting to see what he does to his next victim. And he knows that too." Alexander told them.

"But you were talking to him for quite a while." Callum said.

"Yeah. I think he had been crying and he was close to crying again as we talked and he told me he had no friends. I don't think he'd realised that everyone is scared of how he might treat them if he finds out a secret about them." Alexander replied.

"Well, he might get it right with Dominic but that's still not going to get him any friends, except for maybe us." Bradley said.

"Yeah, it's going to take a lot more to convince others that he is safe to be around." Callum agreed.

"I don't even know how he could do that." Alexander said.

"It's easy to lose someone's trust, but much harder to get it back." Bradley said. "Just think how you and Dom would have felt about me if I had been wrong about Al here."

"But we trusted you, even if it did take a bit of bribery." Callum said.

"No you neither trusted me to be correct nor believed I was, but couldn't come up with a reasonable objection to what I was saying. The blowjob was just the clincher." Bradley said.

"And I'm glad you stuck to your guns even to saying you would not be a part of it if we didn't include Alex. That's what helped me and Alex to see how wrong we were and become friends." Callum said.

"At least you were man enough to admit you were wrong." Bradley said.

"So having feelings for me didn't really come into it." Alexander stated.

"No! Even though I didn't realise just what those feelings were they were the force behind me making the deal to get you in the sleepover. And I'm so glad I did have those feelings. Look what they've done for all of us." Bradley said.

"Oh shit Alex; what have you done with my best friend Brad and who's this guy we're with now?" Callum teased.

"Have I really changed that much?" Bradley asked.

"For the better. Yes!" Callum told him.

When they got to Bradley's home, he saw a car in their drive way. "Fuck, what's the time? Mum's home already." Bradley said as he dug in his pocket to find his mobile and look at the time signal on it.

Callum was quicker at getting his phone out and said, "It's only four o'clock. Isn't that a bit early for her?"

"Yeah, I hope there's no trouble at work or anything." Bradley said unconsciously quickening his pace to get to the door. He had his key out and turned to Callum and Alexander. "Do you guys want to come in for a bit?"

Alexander was a bit nervous about it as he had not met either of Bradley's parents yet and wasn't sure how they would take it if they knew he was Bradley's boyfriend. Callum could see that Bradley was worried and needed a bit of support so he agreed for both of them. The relief on Bradley's face was clear and Callum knew he had done the right thing. Bradley opened the door and ushered his two friends into the house.

"Is that you Brad?" Angela Wright called from the living room.

"Yes mum, how come you're home so early?" Bradley responded.

"Oh a bit of excitement at work. There was a fire in one of the storerooms and they've had to close the whole shop until they're sure it is safe to go back. We were waiting at first but then the manager told us all to go home and he would get in touch once he knows what's happening." Angela explained.

"Well at least you're okay. Cal and Al are here, is it okay if we have something to drink?" Bradley asked.

"Hello Callum, and I'm guessing you Al must be Callum's brother. What does the Al stand for - Alan?"

The three boys had entered the lounge and could be seen by Angela now.

"It's Alexander," Alexander told her.

"Well, welcome to our home Alexander. It's good to see Brad bringing his friends round. Go ahead and get yourselves a drink. If you're boiling the kettle I would appreciate another cup of tea." Angela told them.

The three boys moved through to the kitchen where Bradley first put the kettle on and then asked what each of the other two would like to drink. All three of them opted for a glass of juice and Alexander had finished his before the tea was ready so Bradley got him a refill. Once Angela's tea was ready they carried their drinks back to the lounge with them and delivered Angela's tea to her.

"So does that mean you're even more part time now?" Bradley asked his mother.

"Well I should think the store will re-open and when it does I'll go back to my three and half days a week, but until it re-opens I'm off work full time." Angela explained.

They sat in silence for a bit and then Bradley asked, "Is dad likely to be home on time?"

"I should think so. He knows I've got home early. Why're you asking that?"

"I would just like him to meet Al as well." Bradley said.

"Oh, I see." Angela said and the expression in her voice told Bradley that she was seeing a lot more than he had anticipated.

"What do you mean by that?" Bradley asked.

"It answers several questions. It explains why we now have a younger brother accompanying you when he never has in the past. It explains the change in your demeanour these last few days and confirms our suspicions about your sexuality." Angela told him.

"Erm … I think this is where Alex and I should take our leave." Callum interrupted as he realised just what Angela was saying.

"No, please don't. I realise this might be embarrassing for the three of you, but it doesn't need to be. And I'm sure that if you wait for Simon to get home, he'll run you two home afterwards. Do you think your parents will let you stay for tea?" Angela asked.

"I don't know but we can ask," Callum said.

"I'll give your mum a call. Is she at home?" Angela asked.

"Yes, I think so." Callum answered.

"Before I talk to her, does she know about you two?" Angela asked Bradley.

"Yes she does." Bradley answered turning red.

"Okay, then let me give her a call." Angela got out of her chair and left the room.

"Fuck! She's just outed me, I think." Bradley said, "Sorry guys, I think this might be embarrassing."

"Actually, I think she just outed us." Alexander said.

"Shit! I suppose so. Sorry!" Bradley said

"Well, she seemed pretty calm about it, so I think you're going to be okay. We'll have to see what your dad has to say." Callum said. "Oh, and you might as well out me in the conversation too so that there are no doubts or struggles later on to keep things secret."

"I think if they accept us, then I'll be quite glad they know." Alexander said.

"Once we get used to them knowing I think it will make it much easier." Bradley agreed.

Angela Wright came back into the room and told the boys that they would be staying for tea and then said, "Now, don't go worrying. None of you are in trouble." With that she went to the kitchen to begin preparing enough food for five. After having their offers of help turned down, the three boys went upstairs to Bradley's room to talk.

Alexander spent some time moving around the room looking at everything that was there. Although not as neat and tidy as his own room it was not in a mess either; he looked at the pictures on the wall admiring some of Bradley at different ages in his speedo holding a certificate or cup; Alexander's eyes concentrating on the size of the bulge in the speedo and noting how it improved with age. "Can I see Dominic's drawing of you?" he asked.

Bradley didn't hesitate and got it out to show his boyfriend. The three boys looked at it for a while and then Alexander said, "He gets a lot of detail into the picture but then he has also added some things."

"Like what?" Bradley asked.

"This fake tattoo; that triangle in a circle, with the letters 'C, B, and D'. I noticed it on Callum's picture too. I wonder if he'll put something on mine." Alexander said.

"Shit, I've looked at this a lot of times and never seen that. I guess because I haven't got it I wasn't looking out for it. Why do you think he's done that?" Bradley said.

"I think there's something in it, but as I hadn't noticed it before either, I haven't thought about it." Callum said.

"Well I think it is your guy's initials with the triangle in the circle to show you're united in your friendship, especially as the letters are inside the triangle and not outside the circle." Alexander said.

"Come here you." Bradley said reaching for Alexander, "This is why I love you so much. There are sides to you I've not even seen yet and every time I discover something more, I just love you more."

"Oh please! Talk about waxing lyrical!" Callum teased.

"You're just jealous that I've got such a nice boyfriend and you don't." Bradley returned the tease.

"You think you're joking but there's some truth in that except I'm not jealous, just envious. I'm really happy for you guys but wish I did have someone I was in love with." Callum admitted.

"You mean you don't love me?" Alexander asked grinning widely.

"Right you can stay and face Brad's parents. I'm going home. I know when I'm not wanted." Callum retorted.

"No! You can't go!" Alexander said, shocked. After a pause when Callum did not make a move to leave, he chuckled and said, "Okay, you got me."

"Not always as perceptive as he appears, but I still love you little brother." Callum said and gave Alexander a hug.

"Do you mind if I change, my boxers got a bit damp while I was helping Al to maintain his pose for Dom." Bradley asked and began undoing his jeans before he had finished asking the other two.

Bradley's father, Colin, got home just before the food was ready and three teens had to wait through the meal to find out what his approach to their orientation was going to be.
