An Unexpected Turn

Relationships

“Hello”, Justin said as he answered his phone. “Did you get anything”, the voice on the other end asked? Justin replied, “As a matter of fact, yes, I did. I got a trip to the hospital and a citation for trespassing. I also have come to realize that you sent me to expose some people and what I found out was that these guys aren’t on some publicity stunt. They’re legit. They just saved my life”! The line went dead. Justin immediately called Detective Davis to inform him of the call and gave him the number which turned out to be another rerouted call which seemed to originate from somewhere in Latvia. Justin himself tried to trace those calls and came up empty. He was hoping the police might have better luck. The guy always paid him in cash through the mail without a return address of course. The thing was that this guy was interested in these two for some reason. He seemed to have a grudge against them or was jealous of them for some reason. By his reasoning, they must be from this country and most likely in this area. These guys had saved his life even though he had been spying on them. He felt he owed them at least a little of his time.

Detective Ross was working with other departments to try and trace the calls but weren’t getting anywhere fast. Most of them didn’t want to waste resources on something that didn’t seem like a serious crime. To them it seemed like nothing more than paparazzi trying to get a scoop on celebrities. Detective Ross didn’t want to let it go, but there wasn’t any more they could do at the moment. Detective Davis said, “I know how you feel Brenda. These guys are our own local heroes. We want to find out whose out to get them, but we can only do so much. At least this PI is cooperating”. Brenda aka Detective Ross replied, “Well, considering Steve and Ian saved his life, it’s the least he can do”.

“What I am saying is that I think after what happened on the pier, we need to think about security during the wedding”, Julie was explaining. Mike in an exasperated tone said, “The guy was a paid private detective, Julie. It’s not like he had a gun and was about to shoot all of us”! Julie rolled her eyes and responded, “Yes Mike, but someone hired him to do that. What if the same guy also hires someone to do something more violent”? Ian’s eyes grew wide, “Do you really think the guy hates us that much? Why would someone want to do something to us”? Steve interrupted, “Remember the reporter that kept implying that we somehow coerced that kid to fake his own drowning? They even harassed his parents about it, trying to get them to admit it. He even said that Tony, Scott and you two were paid to set up your accident, remember”? Mike said, “Yeah, I remember. What an asshole. But that so-called news outfit is always pulling that stuff and misinforming its audience”. Julie said, “Exactly”, as if Mike was making her point for her, then she continued, “They put this out to their zombie followers and rile them up. Some of these listeners aren’t all there to begin with and take it up a notch. Look what happened last January”.  Ian laughed and said, “Some of their followers? I’d say most of them aren’t all there to begin with, otherwise they wouldn’t watch that garbage. It’s tabloid tv”.  Mike said, “Yeah, I don’t see how they are getting such good ratings for the lies they spread and call it news. Unfortunately, my dad is one of those true believers”. Steve grinned and said “Jerry Springer had high ratings as well, but they never tried to call themselves a news organization. Hell, their own lawyers said no one should believe their crap”. Julie then said, “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. Even if only a few nut jobs believe that crap, it only takes one to create a catastrophe”.

The room fell silent for several minutes. Steve then broke the silence and said, “I think Julie has a very valid point. I have some ideas and some insight into some of these security concerns. First, I want to make sure our guests feel and are secure. Second is the fact that some of our guests will have their own security details, such as the Governor. We’ll have to coordinate this with them, and we’ll be prepared for them. Ian chimed in, “I pity anyone who tries to disrupt our wedding day”. Steve laughed and said, “You got that right Stu…Ian”. The slip wasn’t lost on anyone, but they all just smiled and gave each other knowing looks. Julie then said, “Ok, I’ll let you look into the security. Now, about the guest list. Steve, there are a lot of people who want to attend this wedding. We can only invite so many. We need to trim down the list, a LOT”!  They settled down and began going over the list of potential wedding guests to trim it down. Steve also made a note to check out the parking lot and its security.

James “Jimmy” Jackson was furious, confused and panicked about recent events. He was a celebrity on his nightly ‘news’ program. He also had a following on social media, some of whom he’d never even think about socializing in person with. He never reported factual news on his program, instead disseminating his own opinion and in some cases actual lies. He wanted to tell his audience what he thought they wanted to hear, not what were the actual facts. That’s what got him the high ratings he had. That’s what was important to him, ratings. Ratings meant a lucrative contract. Money. Jimmy also had a low opinion of humanity, mostly because of his own shortcomings in character. It’s called projection and it played continuously in his nightly shows. This particular target of his was making him uncomfortable. He had to prove these incidents were fabricated. No one would put their own lives in danger to save someone else’s. That would be foolish. A man looks out for himself first. That’s just the way it was. The fact that finally two high profile actors had been identified gave credence to his suspicions. He was close to exposing them and this private eye idea had obviously been a bust. He’d hired a moron, apparently. The guy had very good credentials, but obviously those credentials were overrated. The guy had failed. Fortunately, he’d hired him through a series of his ‘news’ organization’s filters around the world so that tracing it back to him would be almost impossible. Almost, but what if they did? He decided to delete his social media postings to some of the more radical of his followers, especially those who were advocating violence. He would not cover that subject in the current ‘news’ cycle, hoping his audience had the short attention span he’d come to expect.

“Look, we haven’t heard from Jimmy yet, so we have to come to the conclusion that he hasn’t gotten the evidence he wanted to get. I told him we’d act regardless, so here we are.”, George said. George was a short, stocky guy in his early forties. He’d been a school bully as a kid and hadn’t changed much. He had thought about joining one of the white nationalist militias in the area but decided he liked being the one in charge, so he’d gotten several like-minded people who he’d met online to organize a small group of his own. They liked to terrorize the local malls by parading around with their AK’s and AR’s strapped to their shoulders. If anyone said anything, they’d start shouting about their ‘Second Mendment’ rights. In reality, they just wanted to be amused by the frightened looks on people’s faces and the parents hustling their children clear of them. It gave them a feeling of power. That’s what bullies are all about. On weekends they would gather at George’s country home and have target practice on human silhouettes. This made them men in their eyes.

Steve and Ian met in the parking lot of the pier with Captain Jefferies of the State Police. They were there to review security of the area given the possible threat and cryptic description of the person who hired the PI, Justin Masters. “Security at this part of the pier should be fairly easy since it has a secure entrance with concrete reinforced steel posts and just a one gate entrance. I think we can handle this part. My concern is access from the water”, Captain Jefferies said.  Ian joked, “We could hire Aquaman”. Captain Jefferies laughed, and Steve shook his head grinning. Then Captain Jefferies showed his own humor and said, “From what I’ve heard, you and Steve have shown you’re pretty good in the water yourselves”. Steve grinned, looked at Ian and said, “Yeah, but only Ian talks to the fish”. Ian gave Steve a shocked look, “What’s that supposed to mean, Steve”? Steve was amused at Ian’s defensive response and explained, “Don’t you remember your conversation with Jason Mamoa two weeks ago”? Ian grinned at Steve’s reference, “So you’re calling him a fish”. Captain Jefferies looked on in amazement, “You actually talked to Jason Mamoa”? Ian laughed and said, “Yeah, he was mad that we only talked to Marvel actors until I pointed out that it had been those Marvel actors who’d shown up to aid us during the landslide and none from DC”. “Ouch”, was Jason Mamoa’s reaction, and assurance that he’d be there, next time. Captain Jefferies smiled at Ian’s story and said, “You guys have made some very famous and some very powerful friends. The Governor doesn’t play politics. He’s a straight shooter that wouldn’t cozy up to someone for political advantage, so I’m convinced you two are the real thing since he's befriended you. He chooses his friends carefully”. Steve smiled and said, “The honor is ours, Captain. We’re blessed to have such friends”. The captain smiled and pointed out, “And also cursed to have enemies who are jealous of your renown”.  They then discussed a security plan with Steve insisting on paying the cost, but eventually agreeing to only paying half since the Governor wanted to cover the entire cost in the name of protecting a state treasure. When Ian asked if the pier was considered a state treasure, the captain just grinned.

“I don’t care if they saved your life! They’re living a deviant lifestyle, a godless life! You’re not going to be attending that wedding, much less be a part of it. I won’t allow that”, Tom Bradford commanded! Mike looked at his dad, realizing how much he himself had changed. His dad hadn’t changed and he either had to convince him he was wrong or at least get him to understand that he was no longer in agreement with his extreme views. Mike calmly began, “Dad, I love you. You know that. I’ve experienced a lot though over the past year. I almost died, twice. I’ve also learned a lot as well. Did you know there are incidents of animals in same sex relations? Would God allow that if it wasn’t part of his plan? Would anyone decide to live in a relationship where they’re degraded and even violently attacked if it’s just a decision they chose to make”? Tom’s face grew red, “Mike, I’m not going to discuss this with you. You heard what I said”. “No!”, Mike replied, “We are going to discuss this, right now. I may be your son, but I’m an adult now and I make my own decisions. I’d like to discuss this with you calmly, but I am going to attend the wedding and I’m going to be proud to be a part of it. These guys are real people, real heroes. Hell, even the Governor is going to be a guest”. Tom’s face only grew a brighter red, “The guy’s obviously a traitor to the party! So, you want to play the adult card? This is my house and what I say goes. Your choice Mr. Adult”! A tear formed in the corner of Mike’s left eye as he said softly, “Ok, dad”. Mike then turned and headed up to his room. Tom walked into the living room and sat down to watch his favorite misinformation channel, secure in his thinking that his son would comply with his demands.

Mike went up to his room and by the time he arrived, tears were streaming down his cheeks. He had tried and failed to convince his father to at least try to see things from another perspective. He had no choice now. He slowly packed his clothes in a couple suitcases. He began pulling trophies and awards off shelves and walls. Tears fell as he recalled his dad teaching him how to shoot a basketball and throw a football. He remembered his first professional hockey game his dad took him to. This was all behind him now. The ugly side of things had been exposed. He knew this was coming. It had been inevitable after his own awakening to the reality he’d never allowed himself to see before. He didn’t know where he'd go. He’d figure it out after he’d gone. He still loved his dad with all his heart but had to stand on his own newfound principles. Thinking about it, he recalled what he’d said to his dad and wondered how he hadn’t thought about that reasoning before. Why would anyone expose themselves to that unless it wasn’t a choice? Mike cried harder thinking about how he had lashed out at Tony and Scott when they had come out to him. It actually steeled him to follow through. He made several trips to his car, packing suitcases and bags. He knew he couldn’t fit everything into his car, so he tried to pack the necessities and his most cherished possessions. He made several trips to his car as he packed his things and heard the “news” his dad was listening to while he did. He was reinforcing his hard stance. This just caused the tears to flow more freely from Mike’s eyes. How had he been so blind all his life? His heart was breaking. When he carried out the last of the things his car could hold through the door and it slammed closed, Tom yelled, “Dammit Mike! Can’t you close the door without slamming it”!

Then there was quiet until an engine started. This aroused Tom’s curiosity. ‘Where the hell is he going now”, he thought. As Tom walked out to look out the door and saw Mike’s car driving off, he thought the kid must be pissed, and wanted to think about things. Out of curiosity he went up to Mike’s room. He found dresser drawers emptied and an empty closet. He looked on the wall and something stood out at him, it was a picture of the two of them after his high school team had won the district championship. Mike had pitched a no-hitter. He had such a huge smile on his face. There were other pictures and trophies that had been left, but that one had always been his favorite. He had thought he’d raised Mike to be a good man. How could he have turned on him this way? Why couldn’t he see how wrong his thinking was. Tom then recalled his son saying there were incidents of animals in same sex relations. How ridiculous. Mike will come around. He was sure of it.

Melissa was in the kitchen washing the dinner dishes and Benjamin was relaxing in the living room. Little Ben was playing in the yard with his collection of superheroes. A car pulled into the driveway and a man got out. Little Ben noticed as he had Steve swooping in to save a family from an alien invasion. The man asked, “Does Benjamin live here”? Little Ben smiled and said, “I’m Ben, but Pop Pop is called Benjamin too sometimes”. The man smiled at him and asked, “Pop Pop? Are you Melissa’s son Ben”? Ben smiled and said, “Yes, mommy’s name is Melissa”. The man asked, “Is your mommy in the house as well”? Ben nodded his head. The man then asked, “Ben, would you do me a big favor? Would you go and ask your mommy and Pop Pop to come out and see me? I heard the house had burned down and wanted to see them and make sure they were alright”. Ben smiled and said, “Yes, there was a fire. Steve and Ian came in and saved us, and then the house blew up, but Steve and Ian came out unscathed. They even saved Daisy. That’s them there”, indicating the two caped figurines on the grass. Then Ben said, “I’ll go let them know you’re here. What’s your name mister”? The man smiled and said, “Sorry, I forgot to mention that. My name is David”. As Ben ran inside, David looked at the figurines and wondered if Ben had made up the story of the superheroes saving them due to the trauma of the fire.

Ben ran into the house yelling Mommy, Pop Pop! There’s a man outside that wants to talk to you”! Melissa said, “I’m in the middle of doing dishes Ben”. Benjamin got up from his chair and said, “I’ll see what he wants Melissa”, and began walking toward the front door when Ben said, “He said his name is David”. They heard a glass break in the kitchen and Melissa came out. Her face was white. Ben looked afraid and said, “Mommy, are you alright”? With a tear running down her cheek, Melissa told Ben, “Mommy’s ok Ben”, then she rushed out the door behind her dad.

As Melissa got outside, she saw her dad hugging the man, “David? Is that really you”, she asked as she rushed over to join them. As she joined in on the hug, David commented, “You’ve grown up Melissa”. David smiled, enjoying the hug as Melissa and Benjamin cried with joy. Finally, Benjamin looked up at his son smiling and said, “Please son, come inside”. As they broke the hug and turned to come inside, they saw Ben standing in the doorway looking confused. As they entered the house, Melissa smiled at Ben and said, “Ben, this is your Uncle David. He’s mommy’s brother”. David smiled down at Ben and said, “Hello my little nephew”. Ben looked up at David and said, “I didn’t know mommy had a brother”. Melissa smiled and said, “Yes, Ben. Mommy has a brother”, as she looked at David, then said, “Ben, why don’t you go back outside and play so Mommy and Pop Pop can talk with Uncle David”.

As Ben went back outside, Melissa said, “I’ll join you in the living room in a minute. I’m going to fix us each a drink, but first I have to clean up a glass I dropped. Is a rum and coke ok with you David”? David replied, “Sure”, as he followed Benjamin into the living room. Before they sat down, Benjamin turned and hugged his son again, saying, “I’m so glad you’ve returned to us son. There was never a day that went by that I didn’t regret those words that I said to you that day. I only wish your mother was still alive”. A tear fell from David’s eye as he said, “I was at the funeral. I stayed in the back where no one would recognize me. I wanted to console you and Melissa, but the hurt wouldn’t let me”. Benjamin began to cry, “I never meant to hurt you son. I let religious doctrine and my own pride cloud my judgement on that day. I swore I’d never let that happen again. I hope, someday, that you’ll forgive me for those terrible things I said to you”. David hesitated, then asked, “So it doesn’t bother you anymore that I’m gay”? Benjamin released his hug and looked at his son, smiling, “No son. It doesn’t bother me that you’re gay. I love you just the same”.

Melissa interrupted, “Um, I have your drinks”. She handed them each a drink and they sat down. David explained that he had stayed at a friend’s house for a few days before his dad realized I had run away. His dad was going to bring him back the next morning, so he left in the middle of the night. He found work in the fields for a while with the migrant workers. Once he was eighteen, he was able to get his diploma and worked while attending college.  After he got a degree in Electrical Engineering, he found a job just fifty miles away and tried to keep an eye on things from a distance. It wasn’t until he’d heard about the fire that he felt he needed to know that his father and sister were ok. He had known that they’d made it out alive but didn’t know of their injuries. As he ended his story, David said, “The news reports weren’t even talking about the two of you. All the news stations talked about were these two guys that made it out of an explosion. Then of course the wingnut program said it had all been a stunt. I wanted to reach into the tv and grab the son of a bitch by the throat! Your house had been destroyed and this guy was calling it a stunt! Why are they still on the air and still calling themselves a news station? It should be illegal, What”? David saw Melissa grinning and his dad even had a smile on his face and he felt like he was missing out on a private joke. Benjamin put his hand on David’s and said, “It’s good to have you home, son. Now about those two guys who seemed to hog up all the news programming; I’d like to introduce you to them. Their names are Steve and Ian, and they don’t really like the spotlight”. David looked at his dad with confusion written all over his face, “Steve and Ian? The superhero figurines little Ben has out front? Those are the guys from the news”? Melissa’s grin grew wider, “Yes, they are one and the same. Ben is convinced they are superheroes, and they actually did survive the house blowing up thanks to Steve’s quick thinking. They really are special people. If they aren’t superheroes, they are definitely heroes”. Benjamin added, “Amen to that. Ben is so proud that he’s going to be their ring bearer for their wedding”. Melissa laughed as she watched her big brother’s head explode (figuratively). David’s eyes grew wide as he said, “Wait! What? These two are getting married? They’re gay”? Benjamin just smiled as the realization sunk into David, “Yes son, they’re gay, but that doesn’t make them any less than the heroes they are. They saved dozens of lives when they risked their own to attempt to avoid a massive highway accident. They were both injured themselves, but they knew it was a possibility. Steve saved four teenagers from being burned alive after they’d wrecked their car. He got burns on his hands and arms in the process and from what I’ve heard, the dispatcher told him not to approach the vehicle. If he hadn’t pulled them out, they’d have died. Then it was our house. They barged in and told me to get out because of the fire and went up to rescue Melissa and Ben. Then Ian went back in to rescue Daisy, Ben’s kitten. That’s when Steve went in to find Ian. When the house blew up, we were sure they’d been killed. The firefighters found them out back and Steve just had some cuts on his back from glass shards”.  David was now looking at his dad in awe, “You really have changed dad. You talk like you idolize these guys and they’re gay”. Benjamin’s face grew serious as he looked into his son’s eyes, “David, son, I really meant it when I said I regretted the words I said to you. I’ve learned a lot since then and realize love is love no matter what sex the two people are who feel it. There may be different types of love, as that between members of a family and that between two soul mates like your mother and me, but love transcends everything else, including religion. Make no mistake David. Even when I said those cruel words to you those many years ago which I’ve regretted ever since, I never stopped loving you”. David, with tears pouring down his cheeks, got up and threw his arms around his dad, “I missed you so much dad”.

Suddenly a voice asked, “Why is everyone crying”. They all turned to see little Ben standing there with his Steve and Ian figurines in his hands. They all smiled at him through their tears and Melissa said, “It’s because we’re so happy to have your Uncle David back in our lives, Ben”. Ben looked confused and said, “Why are you crying if you’re happy”? That brought a smile to everyone. David then turned to Ben and asked, “So when are you going to introduce me to your superhero friends, Steve and Ian”? Ben’s eyes grew wide, and he threw his hand over his mouth. Melissa asked, “What’s wrong Ben”? He leaned over and whispered into her ear, “I broke my promise. I told them I’d keep their secret”. Melissa smiled and whispered back, “It’s ok Ben. David is your uncle and he’ll keep the secret”. Ben smiled and said, “You have to keep that a secret Uncle David”. David grinned and said, “My lips are sealed”, before making a zipper sign across his lips. Ben smiled and then asked, “Did they tell you about the landslide?”, before going into detail about the latest Steve and Ian adventure. Ben had David’s full attention. “…and they just showed up at the site in a pickup truck following a police car. Once again, they both escaped unscathed”, Ben finished his story. David shook his head and he said, “These guys you describe sound like they’re really great guys Ben. I’d really like to meet them some time”. “If you stick around for a while, we can arrange that”, Benjamin said. Melissa then addressed her son, “Ben, you need to go up and get ready for your shower. Put Super Steve and Mini Hulk away and after your shower, you can come back down for a snack before bed”. Ben said, “Ok mom. Will Uncle David still be here when I’m done with my shower”? Melissa looked to her brother and he smiled and replied, “I won’t leave before saying goodnight to my favorite nephew, Ben”. Ben smiled and said, “I’ll hurry”, and then he ran up the stairs. Melissa called up behind him, “You make sure to wash properly Ben”!

David grinned, “Ben is such a bundle of joy Melissa”. Melissa smiled and replied, “He’s also a bundle of energy that’s difficult to contain sometimes”. David then turned to Benjamin, “Dad, about the sticking around part; I’m sorry that I just left, but I was hurting really bad at what you’d said. Maybe I overreacted, but that’s water over the bridge at this point. My job is still about forty miles away, but if I find a place in between, I could be around more, that is if that’s what you want”. Benjamin looked to his son and said, “Of course we want you around David. We even have a spare room for you if you like”. David smiled, “I’m not moving back in dad. I’m an adult now and need my privacy”. Benjamin smiled and said, “I understand that son. I meant if you wanted to stay for a weekend or for a holiday. It’s also at the back of the house, so if you had a guest with you, you’d have your privacy”. Melissa grinned and David said, “Really dad? You actually went there”? Benjamin looked at his son and said in a serious way, “I told you son. I love you. I’m all in. No exceptions.”.

Tony and Scott entered Tony’s bedroom. Tony’s parents had gone on a trip to the Bahamas, so they had the house to themselves. They faced each other and slowly pulled each other’s t-shirts over their heads. They smiled at each other and then kissed. Tony dove into Scott’s neck and licked and kissed it passionately, then slowly moved down to open Scott’s belt and then open the button of his jeans. He slowly pulled down the zipper. His eyes looked up to Scott as he witnessed the bulge protruding through his baby blue briefs. Scott smiled back down at him as the wet spot in those baby blues grew. Tony was excited as he tasted the precum oozing through those them. He then pulled them over Scott’s hips and engulfed the head of his cock. Scott looked down grinning at Tony, saying, “Fuck Tony, you look so hot! Swallow my cock. You make me feel so good. Fuck! Oh yes”. Slowly Tony removed his own pants and briefs as he continued working on Scott’s cock and balls. Once naked, Tony had Scott lie back on the bed and they moved into a sixty-nine and they went at each other with furious abandon. Before long, Tony’s hands were massaging Scott’s buns and sliding his fingers in the gap between them. Scott moaned eagerly on Tony’s drooling cock. Scott wanted to swallow Tony’s cream, but he needed his cock inside him even more. He pulled his mouth off Tony’s cock and said, “Please Tony. I need you inside me. Fuck me now, please”.

Mike had stopped at Julie’s to tell her about the conversation with his dad. Julie was disappointed but had realized it was a possibility. She knew how Tom, Mike’s dad was, as did Tony and Scott. Mike and Julie talked about what his options were. Mike insisted he would not allow Julie to ask her parents if he could stay there even though she had insisted it would be fine. He wouldn’t put her in that situation. Julie suggested he call Tony or Scott. Mike told her it was what he was thinking of doing. They hung out for a while and then Mike decided it was getting late, kissed Julie goodnight, and left. Once in his car, he attempted to call Tony and after leaving a message, called Scott. After leaving a message on Scott’s phone as well, he just headed over to Tony’s, thinking if he wasn’t home, his parents probably were, and they’d let him at least crash there for the night. He started his car and headed to Tony’s.

Meanwhile, Tony had Scott ride on his cock for a while, enjoying Scott’s rigid member bounce on his hard abdomen, leaving splatters of precum which was freely oozing from the tip of his cock. “Get on all fours, Scott”, Tony then directed him. Scott gladly obliged and soon Tony was taking him from behind, enjoying pounding into his firm buns. Scott loved it as well, feeling Tony slam into his firm buns with a slapping sound while his own rigid cock bounced in rhythm with a trail of precum dangling from its tip.

Mike got out of his car. He saw lights on in the house, so he knew someone was home. He walked up and as he’d done thousands of times in the past, just walked in. He called out, “Hey! Where’s everyone at”? He received no answer and after seeing no one in the living room nor the kitchen, headed for his  next usual destination, Tony’s room. He saw a light on under the door, so he knew Tony wasn’t asleep and he heard noises, so he proceeded to open the door. Before he could open his mouth, he was stopped in his tracks. His initial instinct was to back out and pull the door closed, but he couldn’t seem to put his body in motion to do that. He was frozen on the spot, watching his best friend Tony slamming his cock into his other best friend, Scott’s ass, causing a slapping sound to reverberate in the room. The violence of it surprised Mike as he watched, but he heard Scott begging Tony to ram him harder. He realized Scott’s cock was fully hard and oozing precum. He was baffled by this. All his perception of gay sex was being obliterated in front of him. How could someone enjoy a cock ramming into their anus? How could anyone enjoy that pain? He watched the expression on Scott’s face as he was getting rammed from behind. It looked like he was in ecstasy, not pain. Mike was now totally confused. He recalled the several times he’d fucked Julie from behind, but in her pussy. He had enjoyed the feel of his abdomen slapping up against her ass. He now found himself painfully hard in his jeans. As he continued watching, Scott suddenly cried, “Oh fuck yes Tony! Keep pounding me! I’m going to cum”! Tony said, “Me too bro. I’m gonna cum too”.  Suddenly, Scott’s cock erupted, shooting cum down onto the sheets below him as Mike looked on. Tony was grunting as well, obviously shooting his cum inside Scott’s rectum. The whole experience of seeing these two going at it and recalling fucking Julie flooded Mike’s senses as his own cock pumped its cum into his underwear. Mike continued looking on as Tony and Scott disengaged and then cuddled, passionately kissing each other.

Mike was still frozen at the door when Scott suddenly noticed him. “Mike”! Tony then looked over at his door and asked, “How long have you been watching us”? Mike stared at them like a deer in headlights and said, “Um, I’m sorry guys. I didn’t mean to walk in on you like this. I needed to talk to you. Um, I’ll let you um, do what you need to, and I’ll go into the living room”. Scott grinned and said, “Maybe you should stop at the bathroom first”. Mike then realized he had cum enough to make it obvious. “Oh shit”, Tony said as he noticed it as well and began laughing. Mike turned bright red, turned and raced into the bathroom.

A while later, Tony was pounding on the bathroom door asking, “Mike! Are you ok in there”? A few minutes and periodic pounding on the door with threats of breaking it down later, the door unlocked, and a tear-filled Mike stood there. Tony came in and put his hands on Mike’s upper arms and said, “Mike, we’re sorry. We didn’t mean to embarrass you like that. We’re so sorry dude”. Mike leaned his head on Tony’s chest for a moment and then he grabbed Tony’s upper arms before slowly turning and sinking to the floor with his hands on his face, “I’m so fucked up guys”. As he said this, Tony and Scott sat down on either side of him. Scott looked to Mike and said, “Bro, you are our best friend. We’ve been through everything together. We had a rough period, but you proved your friendship to us regardless of your prior perceptions. I, we want to be here for you now. What’s going on Mike”? Tears started streaming down Mike’s cheeks again as he spoke, “I told my dad about Stev and Ian’s wedding today. He went ballistic. He said no son of his is going to attend a gay wedding, much less be in one. I tried to reason with him, but you know how he is. I decided to leave, packed my shit, and went over to Julie’s and told her what had happened. I couldn’t let her ask her parents to let me stay there, so I tried to call you, my best friends. Neither of you answered, so I came over here thinking if you weren’t here, your parents would be good with me staying the night. Then I walked in on you, um doing it and…I don’t know what came over me, but I was frozen. I couldn’t back away and close the door. I kept watching you and thought about when I’d fucked Julie from behind and FUCK! Somewhere during your fucking, I must have cum. I love Julie and I’ve never even thought of doing anything with another dude, but somehow, I got off on watching you two fucking. I’m so fucked up”. Scott said, “Mike, you had a fucked-up day and a very emotional one. I was worried your dad would react that way when you told him”. Mike nodded, saying, “Yeah, I should have expecting it. I reacted that way when you told me about your relationship so of course dad was going to react that way. I just thought I could get through to him”.

As Mike’s shoulders slumped, Tony said, “Don’t worry about it, bro, and I’m sorry we joked about it. We didn’t know about the shit with your dad. I guess we were a little embarrassed too, having you catch us having sex. How ‘bout I go grab us each a beer and I’ll meet you in the living room”?  Not waiting for a reply, Tony got up and went for the beers. Mike glanced momentarily at Scott, then returned his gaze straight ahead before asking, “Scott, can I ask you a personal question? You don’t have to if you don’t want to answer”. Scott shrugged and said, “Ask away”. Mike took a moment to decide how to ask what he wanted to know, “Well, I always thought that the guy taking a cock in his ass was accepting the pain of it because he liked being dominated”. Scott gave Mike a shoulder bump and said with a grin, “Are you saying I’m a submissive bottom Mike”. Mike gave him a shocked look and said, “No Scott, I’m not saying that!”, then he realized Scott was grinning and calmed down, “It’s just that it looked like you were enjoying it, I mean really enjoying it. I don’t understand that. Weren’t you in pain”? Scott’s grin grew wider, “No Mike, I wasn’t in pain, and yes, I was really enjoying it. Couldn’t you tell”? Mike was looking at Scott like he was crazy, “But”. Scott put his finger to Mike’s lips, silencing him and continued, “Honestly, it does really hurt the first time, and sometimes even after that, the initial entry can be a little uncomfortable. After that though, when your partner starts hitting your button, it begins to feel really good and sometimes like tonight it can make you cum even if you hadn’t even touched your cock. Kind of like when a girl has an orgasm when you’re fucking her”. Mike listened as Scott explained, then asked, “What do you mean by your button”? Scott replied, “It’s your prostate. A sexual organ all guys have. When it gets massaged, like by a cock or even a finger in some cases, it makes you feel really good. Ok, we better be going downstairs or Tony will think we’re up to something”. Mike laughed and said, “Yeah, wouldn’t want Tony getting jealous. Thanks Scott. I appreciated you answering those personal questions”. Scott replied, “That’s what friends, best friends are for”. As they arrived in the living room, Tony said, “It’s about time. I was about to drink all three myself”, before handing each of them a beer.

They laughed and joked through three beers each before Mike said, “I need to get in the shower and clean up before bed”, then giving a sheepish grin asked, “Tony, can I throw my clothes in the washing machine after my shower”? Tony accidentally spit out the beer he had just sipped, and Scott burst into laughter. Scott then said, “Sorry Mike, but it is pretty funny”. Mike turned bright red, but smiled, knowing they were right.
