The Bon Fire

The guys piled out of the truck and walked up to the school, exchanging happy greetings and nods to their classmates along the way. Some wondering why the small city kid was in the middle of the group of jocks.

“Do you think we should be holding hands?” Said the sophomore nervously.

“Well yeah. You’re my boyfriend, aren’t ya?”

Carson looked up at the jacked senior’s kind, smiling face and his nervousness melted away. ‘Wait, what? Boyfriend?’ “Ah, well, yeah, I’m your boyfriend, if you want me to be.”

“Of course, you hot little stud. And, trust me, your hand is the least of your body I would like to be holding right now, but that might get us expelled.” Said the big jock with a huge grin, looking down at the scarlet face of the one he loved.

As they moved down the hallway of the small school, Carson tried to gauge the different looks coming their way. Most looked surprised, shocked would be more like it, some indifferent, some confused, while others didn’t give a second look. He noticed a couple of guys in the junior class gave him a dirty look, then glanced up at the big, ripped stud holding his hand and quickly moved away.

“Here’s your locker man. I got to get to class. See you at lunch.”

Carson felt his feet leave the ground and a large hand on the back of his head, as the big jock lifted him up and covered his lips with his warm wet open lips and lapped his hot tongue inside the boys gaping mouth. ‘Ummmm. So hot. Wait. How did he know where my locker was?’

“Aaahhemmmm boys.” Said the stern looking math teacher.

Granger broke the kiss, still holding the kid aloft. “It’s ok Mr Clow, he’s my boyfriend.”

“Is he able to stand?” asked the amused teacher.

“Oh sorry.” Apologized the hot stud, lowering the boy with the crimson face’s, feet back to the floor. “He’s just so irresistible,” stated the senior excitedly.

“I am sure he is, but can you agree to save the tongue dueling for outside the building after school?” The teacher stated as he walked away shaking his head.

“Yes sir, we can try. Damn, dude. Look what you did to me? How am I supposed to walk to class?” Granger laughed looking down at the tent in his pants.

“Like me, brah.” Smiled the red-faced sophomore with tented pants walking off stiff legged.

Carson was on cloud nine. Granger made him feel so fucking amazing. He was the happiest he had been in a long time, if not ever. He noticed how so many kids were saying ‘hey’ to him as he walked to class, which hardly ever happened. What was goin…..

“Holy shit Carson! You have to tell me what happened this weekend! It’s all over school! You’re gay? Granger’s your boyfriend? Granger is in love with you?”

“Whoa Katy. Holy cow, slow down and with much less volume.” Pleaded the sophomore with the blushing face.

“Slow down? Oh my god. I am so happy for you.” Gushed his friend.

Fifty minutes later Katy and Carson were walking down the hall to their next class. “Have you noticed how many kids are saying hi to me today? Just because I’m with Granger.”

“Or maybe because your head is up, and you look so fucking happy. You can’t seem to get that shit eating grin off your face.”

“Oh, fuck! What did you hear?” Said the shocked city kid with fear in his voice.

“Nothing, why are you getting so freaked… Wait, no you didn’t! You ate his ass?” Katy whispered in his ear.

“Um, well, um, I mean, you know….” The boy stammered, desperately searching for words, as his cute face turned bright red again.

“You freaky little stud. You have surprised the shit out of me.” Laughed Katy.

As the slim sophomore walked toward the lunchroom, he thought about how he had left his empty house that morning. So afraid that the big hunk, that had given him so much pleasure, comfort and yes deep feelings of love, the last two days, would not treat him the same at school.

But the hot jock proved him wrong, right off the bat. Picking him up and kissing him in front of all his bros, when he stopped to give him a ride to school. Then holding his hand into the school and again kissing him in the crowed hall. Eliminating the fear and decision of when or whether they should come ‘out’ at school. Granger had them in the wide-out-open without even a thought.

It made him feel so wanted, loved, so many other feelings. He looked across the lunchroom and as soon as he caught the eye of the hot jock, Granger was on his feet moving rapidly toward him. “Hey Carson.” The big grinning senior’s voice boomed as he hoisted the sophomore up into his arms. “Come sit at our table.”

As they made their way through the crowded lunchroom between the tables, Carson whispered into the jacked stud’s ear. “You should probably put me down. Everyone is staring.”

“Shit, sorry man. I just want to hold you all the time.” Stated the love-struck jock to the kid, eliciting a few giggles from the table of female classmates next to them.

Carson felt his feet touch the floor and Granger’s big hand on his, as the happy farm boy led him the rest of the way across the lunchroom.

“There’s the happy couple.” Exclaimed Buck and Cutter as they jumped up and gave the startled sophomore a big group hug. Buck leaned in and whispered in Carson’s ear, “If anyone had thoughts of giving you shit, that’ll make ‘em think twice.” As he winked at the kid. “Some of the guys around here aren’t as open minded as your bros here.” Causing the sophomore and the table to break out laughing.

The final bell rang, and Carson made his way out of the building. Granger had texted him to meet him at his truck for a ride home. He saw the hot stud running toward him, so excited just to see him. It was such an amazing feeling. One he could not quite comprehend, but it made him feel so incredibly happy and loved. How this hot stud did not care what anyone else thought, only that he get to this hot kid as fast as he can. Oh god, his feet were off the ground again.

“Where’s your crew?”

“I told them I was taking you home and we needed some alone time.” The big stud smiled, his hazel eyes sparkling in the sun.

“That must have earned you some grief.”

“Well yeah, Buck and Cutter had a few envious comments about your smokin’ bod and hot ass.”

“Dude, would you just stop it.” Laughed the sophomore.

“What?”

The truck pulled into Carson’s driveway and Granger leaned in and kissed the sophomore like he had done at every stop sign on the way, and even as they drove down the road.

“Do you have time to come in? My dad is still away on his business trip.”

“Fuck yeah, you little tease. Why are you holding out on me?”

The boys walked through the front door and Granger looked around. “This place looks pretty co…. mmmffff” As his lips were covered with the sophomores red lips and probing tongue in a passionate kiss.

“You’re on my turf now, you gorgeous hunk of farm meat. I’m going to use you like the bitch you want to be.” Giggled the city kid.

The big stud loved it when the city kid talked to him like that. “Use me for your pleasure you hot fuck. My body is waiting for your commands.”

“Strip you, then me and get your tongue in my ass. I’ve waited all day for this.”

‘Damn, those words could have come out of his mouth.’ Granger thought. ‘Did he really find someone who wanted/needed sex as much as he did? Could he love this kid more?’

He peeled his shirt off in a slow stripper like move and flexed his muscles. Then he slowly bent over as he pushed his shorts to his ankles. The jacked stud stepped out of his shoes and kicked the shorts to the side. He stood there in just his dark blue Fruit of the Looms.

“What are you waiting for bitch. Your tented panties too.”

The big jock smiled and pushed down his underwear and kicked them aside too. He stepped up close to the cocky acting sophomore. He put his strong hands on each side of the kids’ hips and very slowly lifted the boy’s shirt over his head. He put his big hands on the boys back and drew him in tight to his naked body, pushing the air out of the sophomore’s lungs, along with a low moan.

He held the kid tight to his muscular torso with his left arm as his right pushed the city kids shorts and underwear down to his ankles.

The jacked jock then kneeled behind the aroused teen and began kissing the kid’s ass cheeks as he untied the boy’s sneakers. He pulled off the shoes one at a time as he began to lick at the top of the panting sophomore’s ass crack.

“Uuuuhhhhgggg ffffuuuuuucccckkkk” Moaned the smaller teen. “Your tongue feels so awesome. Keep doing what you are doin… AAAAAEEEEEEE FUCK!” Carson yelled as the ripped senior licked across his pucker.

Hearing the reaction from his classmate drove the senior in deeper. He began to lick, suck and tongue the boys pink pussy, driving wild movements and exclamations from the writhing teen.

“FUCK Granger. OH GOD. YEAH that’s the …. OH GOD!”

Somehow, they had moved from the entry way into the dining room. Carson was now laying chest down on the dining room table as the big stud ate his ass. Granger kept forcing his face and tongue in deeper and deeper into the writhing boy’s crack. The kid’s feet were now off the ground as he lay on the table with the hot jock slurping his ass.

“You need to fuck me now. Get that huge cock in my ass now.” The boy demanded.

Nearly six hours later the young studs were spent. Their sweat covered bodies were all tangled up as they lay together in Carson’s wrecked bed.

“Dude, I do not want to leave you, but I have to get going. It’s almost nine and I still have some chores to do. Tomorrow, I have to disc the 80 next to the highway right after school. Why don’t you come ride with me in the cab? If you don’t, I won’t be able to see you for far too many hours.” Granger said with a sad pouty look on his face.

“Damn brah. Don’t give me that face. OK, works for me, but I have never been on a tractor.”

“Wait, what?” Said the shocked, laughing senior.

The school day dragged on. Carson could not wait for it to end so he could spend some more time with Granger. He hated every second he was away from him. Any time he would catch a glimpse of Granger in the hall during the day, the look on his face told him with confidence, that the big senior felt the same way about him.

“This is a tractor? Are you kidding me right now?” Carson gasped as he looked up at the huge machine that matched the huge grin on his boyfriend’s face. He climbed up into the enclosed cab on the big eight-wheel drive Case. “Holy shit, look at that touch screen, and stereo! Really, AC? And heat? What else does it do?”

“Hop into the side seat. It does most of the driving by itself, using GPS.” Granger noted as he moved the rig down the driveway and out to the county road. It wasn’t long and they turned off into a plowed field and began to disc up the rich black soil.

“This is so cool. I can’t believe how quiet it is in here. And you don’t even have to steer.”

“Yeah, it let’s me use my hands for other things.” Granger reached over and placed a hand on each side of Carson’s face. He pulled the teen into a deep loving kiss. “I missed you so much.”

“Dude, it hasn’t even been a full day.” Laughed the sophomore, breaking the kiss for a second.

“That’s too long.” Grasping the back of the city kids head and pulling their faces tightly together, so his tongue could maul the boy’s mouth. His right hand groping the bulge in the boy’s shorts.

“Brah, you are driving me wild.”

“Get out of those clothes.” Granger stated as he tore off his shirt and began to push his shorts down. “I want your hot self on my lap.”

“Damn, you horny farm stud. Now I see why you have this self-driving tractor.” Laughed Carson as he peeled off his clothes.

“Here, sit on my lap facing me.”

Carson climbed up on the seat and straddled the muscle-bound jock. Granger pulled him in tight, chest to chest as he again tongue fucked the boy’s mouth. Carson reached back for the leaking cock and lined it up with his tight boy pussy.

He felt the pressure as he sat down on the tip, and it slid into his hot channel, causing both boys to moan loudly.

“Oh fuck, that feels so good. Damn dude, your ass is so hot and tight. We got three hours to get this plowed field disced. You think you got it in you?”

“Well, yeah, I got it in me. I can feel it pushing on my lungs. And I was hoping to get plowed.” Laughed Carson as he rose his hips up and plunged back down on the big hot cock, his arms wrapped tightly around the muscular stud.

Granger laughed at the play on words and thrust his cock upward with each downward push of the hot stud on his lap. “Fuck yeah you little slut. Ride that hot cock.” His muscular arms lifting the kid up and plunging him back down on his cock as the tractor made its way around the field.

“Oh shit. We are coming to the highway. We need to get dressed.” Shouted the sophomore still being impaled on the large cock.

“No worries. The windows are tinted such that we can see out, but no one can see in.” As the big naked stud waved to the passing trucker, with no reaction from the driver.

“Are you sure? Holy shit this is awesome. You’re fucking me in public.” Giggled the teen.

“Yes, I’m sure they can’t see us.” Chuckled the ripped senior. “Now get that hot ass bouncing on my cock again, I’m about to pump you full of my cum, in public.” As he moved his panting lips to the kid’s sexy neck.

“Uuuuunnnnggggghhhhh” Carson moaned as he felt the suction on his neck and the hot cock massaging his love nut. He felt the big cock begin to pulse and ropes of hot liquid pump into his channel.

“AAAAARRRRRGGGGG. FUCK. FFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK.” The sweaty senior yelled as his big balls unloaded into the receptive teen.

The tractor continued along as the two glistening classmates held each other tight. “That was such a trip seeing everyone in the cars looking over at us as I shot my load into your sweet ass.” Panted Granger.

“Then you should love this.” Carson stepped up on the seat, one foot on each side of the farm boy’s muscular thighs. He had to bend his head and shoulders down a little to not hit the ceiling of the tractor. He grasped the back of Grangers head and pulled the studs face into his sweaty crotch. “Suck on those balls stud.” He giggled.

“Mmmmmuuuurrrrrffff” The senior loudly exaggerated not being able to speak with the kid’s balls in his mouth, licking and sucking the delicious orbs. The farm stud pulled off the kid’s balls and licked his way up the sophomores dripping cock. He sucked the head into his mouth, licking into the piss slit and paying special attention to the spongy head.

“Oh fuck, Granger. I’m not going to last long.”

The jacked senior shoved his head forward, mashing his forehead against the young stud’s belly button, forcing the hot cock down his throat. “Holy shit! I’m cumming.”

Carson pumped the first shot directly into the hot jocks stomach. Granger began to pull off as the next volley hit the back of his throat, which he instantly swallowed down. The last three painted the inside of the farm boys sucking mouth.

“Holy shit, bro. You cum like a stallion. Didn’t think I would be able to guzzle all that down.” Gasped Granger, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

Carson sat back down on the big thighs of the gorgeous stud who just feasted on his cum. He put a hand on each side of the stud’s face. The two teens looked lovingly into each other’s eyes for what seemed like minutes. Time stood still. They slowly moved forward till their lips touched ever so slightly, the tractor movement making their wet lips move against each other, till they began to gently kiss.

The naked boys made out for an entire lap of the 80-acre field.

“Looks like you are enjoying the plow-job.” Granger grinned as he looked down at two hard cocks.

“Yeah, you too, but I think it is my turn now. Kneel on the seat with your chest on the seatback and jut your butt out.”

“Why, what do you have in mind?” Smiled the senior as he moved into position.

“Something you like. Something I was busted on at school.”

“Wait, what? You were busted on something we did…….OOOOHHHH FFUUUUCCCKKKKK!!!” The ripped senior felt the boy dive into his ass crack and thrust his tongue into his hole.

After driving the hot stud wild for a few minutes, the cocky sophomore pulled back. “You kinda like that, don’t ya big boy?” As he slid a slick finger into the saliva slippery hole.

“Aaaaggggghhh. You know I do you little shit. Now get that cock of yours in there and fuck me hard.” Panted the muscular senior.

Over the three hours of discing the two horny teens seeded each other with multiple orgasms, never taking long to be ready to go again. Neither of them could ever get enough of each other, always attempting to maximize skin on skin contact, while finding new ways to cum.

As the big tractor turned into the drive Granger looked over at Carson. “You know, everyone knows that I have an insatiable sex drive. Girls would always break up with me because they said that I wanted it too much. They would get sore when I wasn’t even fucking them that hard.”

“Ah, I’m feeling a little awkward right now brah.” Carson smiled

“Dude. What I’m trying to say is that for the first time I think I found someone who wants it as much as I do. You are raring to go all the time and you want it, and give it, hard. But it is so much more than that with you. It isn’t just sex to me, if I can say “just sex”. I know we haven’t even dated yet, but I love you, Carson. I really love you.”

“You want to date me?” Carson grinned

“That’s all you got out of that long ass speech?” Granger pleaded.

“I love you too. You mean everything to me. I hate being away from you. I think about you all the time.”

“Like when you beat off? Ouch.” Granger teased from the punch the sophomore landed on his arm.

“I want you to meet my parents. I want to tell them that you are my boyfriend.” Granger said with a serious tone.

“What? Like right now?” Carson shouted in a pitch much higher than he had intended. “We just got through having sex for three hours… and, Oh, don’t you DARE tell them that.” The city kid said with a stern look. “I probably look like I’ve been drove hard and put away wet.”

“Look at the city boy, using a farm boy reference.” Laughed the senior. “With a double meaning, no less.” Drawing another punch. “Besides it’s all over school and this is a small town. They probably have already heard.”

“We can go into the barn and freshen up a bit, before we go into the house, if it will make you feel better. Besides I think I have a gob of your cum in my hair.”

“Fine, but I don’t think it is going to help much. With all the loads you pumped into me, I probably look like a water balloon.” Carson stated flatly. Causing Granger to lose it, bending over laughing hysterically. Soon both boys were laughing so hard they could hardly breathe.

“Seriously though.” Carson choked, getting his laughing under control, while walking toward the barn. “How do you think they are going to take it?”

“Dude, I honestly do not know. We have always been close, but I thought I was straight, so I am sure they thought so. None of that matters to me. What matters is that the guy I love is part of my life, and that involves my parents right now. We’ll just have to take it one step at a time.”

Carson was in awe of Granger. He had this confidence that all would be well. Giving the young sophomore confidence he rarely felt in the past.

“So don’t think that I have forgotten about that ‘busted at school’ crack. What’s the scoop?” Smiled the big stud washing up in the barn sink.

“Funny you should say ‘crack’. Katy was talking about how it was all over school that you and I were an item. I mentioned that it must be why everyone was saying hi to me in the halls. She said that it was because I looked so happy and couldn’t get that shit eating grin off my face. I freaked. You know, you are so ‘no filter Granger’ that I thought my eating your ass was going around school. She saw my reaction and figured it out really quick. I thought I would die. She promised not to tell anyone, and I know she won’t.”

“All I can say is that you are a world class ass eater. I ain’t gonna lie.” The big stud laughed, juking to the side to avoid the expected punch.

“Hey mom. This is Carson, Carson my mom.”

“Hi. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, Carson. You must go to school with Granger. Are you new in town? Where do you live?”

“Mom. We just got in the door. We have been out on the tractor for three hours.” Granger could see Carson tense up when he mentioned tractor.

“Forgive me. You boys must be starving. Supper is ready. Go take a seat at the table. I’ve got a big pork roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, asparagus and fresh baked bread. For dessert, Granger’s favorite, hot Dutch apple pie with walnuts, topped with vanilla ice cream. Your dad will be up in a minute. He is down in the basement fiddling with something.”

“It smells amazing Mrs. Jenson.”

“Thank you, Carson. Now get to the table before the food gets cold.”

“Dad, this is Carson. Carson this is my dad.”

“Hi Carson. Nice to meet you. Thanks for keeping Granger company out on the tractor. With the tractor doing most of the driving it can get pretty boring.”

“Oh, we weren’t bored.” Carson blurted, the words flying out of his mouth before he could stop them, causing his face to glow flame red. The sophomore’s eyes darting to his boyfriend with the huge grin on his face.

The boys wolfed down the delicious meal. Having three helpings each, making Mrs. Jenson very happy. The dessert plates full of apple pie and ice cream were passed around. Just as Carson took the first bite he heard “Dad, Mom there is something I need to tell you.”

“What is it son?” Said his mom with concern, noting the serious tone in her son’s voice.

“I’m gay.”

Carson stared at his plate, his mouth full of pie, chewing slowly waiting for a sound. Any sound.

Granger looked from his mom to his dad trying desperately to read their faces. His dad set his fork down and sat back in his chair, his mom looking at his dad.

“Carson is not just my friend, he is my boyfriend. I love him.” Carson shifted nervously in his seat. The silence was deafening.

“Son, we have always been honest with you and you with us. I will tell you that I am a bit shocked. You have been on dates with a lot of girls, so this comes quite unexpected.”

“What your father is trying to say is that we love you and will always support you. This is suddenly new to us, so we ask that you give us some time to process and adjust. We are not familiar with that lifestyle and will have a lot to learn. I hope you can understand.”

“I do mom. I am learning too.”

“How long have you known?”

“Dad it was quite recent. When the big storm hit…” Granger saw the terrified look on Carson’s face. “It was just pretty recent that I figured out what I had been feeling for a very long time. I knew what I was taught to feel and how that did not match up with how I was feeling. It has been very confusing for years, but now I know who I am.”

“How do you think that went?” Carson asked as they drove down the dark road toward his house.

“Well, it was kinda quite, but like I said, I did not know how they would react.”

“All I heard is that they love you and will support you. What else needs to be said?” Carson smiled as he squeezed the big hand he had been holding and watched a tear roll down the big stud’s cheek.

The Silverado sat idling in the driveway. Granger leaned over to give his boyfriend a good night kiss. Their lips just touched, when Carson suddenly pulled back.

“What’s wrong.”

“We have to tell my dad.”

“Right now?”

“Yes. I have to before I lose my nerve. Will you come in with me?”

“Um, sure. Might as well get it all done in one night.”

Carson turned on the kitchen light in the dark house. “Is your dad already in bed?”

“No, he’s probably in his home office.” Carson knocked on the office door. “Dad, can you come out to the living room? There is someone I want you to meet.”

Carson’s dad entered the living room. The two boys were standing in front of the couch.

“Dad, this is Granger. We go to school together.”

“Good to meet you sir.” Granger said, shaking the man’s hand.

“Dad, there is something I need to tell you.” Not waiting for his dad to respond to Granger. “I am gay, and Granger is my boyfriend.”

“Ok, thanks for telling me.” His dad turned and began to walk back to the office.

Carson looked at Granger with tears in his eyes. “Sir!” Granger said with force. “Why do you ignore your son? Do you not love him? He’s a great kid and you are missing out.”

Carson looked up at Granger. ‘Oh no. Not the unfiltered G.’

“You do not understand.” Carson’s dad stated and moved slowly back to the living room and sat in an ez chair. “You’re right he is a great kid, and he deserves a much better father than me. It’s all my fault…” and he began to sob. His shoulders leaning forward as he held his head in his hands sobbing deeply.

Carson jumped up and ran over to his dad and put his arm around him. “Dad. What is wrong?”

“It’s all my fault.” He choked out. “Your mom called the office that day and asked what I wanted for supper. I told her and she said that she would have to run out to the market to pick up the food. She had asked me that question dozens of times and I would always say anything you make is great. But I had to name something that she had to go out and get. You see, I am the reason your mom is gone.” His entire body shaking as he cried into his hands.

“Dad. Listen to me. It was not your fault. No one predicted it. But I lost mom too. I lost both of you. I really needed you then, still do.”

His dad got up and hugged him tightly. “I am so sorry son. You are right. I was so racked with guilt and self-loathing that I did not think of you. That ends tonight. I promise you I will be your father again. Now, what did you say your boyfriend’s name was again?”

“Granger.” Carson said with pride.

“Son, thank you for calling me out with your frank questions. I guess I just needed to be hit upside the head with a 2x4 to realize what a dumb ass I was being.” He pulled both boys into a tearful group hug.

Four years later

Granger’s parents did come around and loved their son more than ever. They also accepted Carson into their lives with open arms. The sophomore had grown four more inches and put on a few pounds, partly because of Mrs. Jenson’s great cooking.

Carson’s dad met the single principal at Carson’s school during parent teacher night. They hit it off right away. They were married last spring. The boys both thought that she was great, and she loved them both right back.

Granger finished a two-year farm tech program at the local community college. He was looking forward to applying high tech farming practices to his dad’s farm.

Carson was two years into his degree. With his 4.0 average he was already getting offers from a variety of companies. He decided he would only go with a company where he could work from home.

Ten months ago, Carson and Granger stopped for a meal at the local diner. “Sorry boys, there is a bit of a wait. We are all filled up at the moment.” Said the cheerful older waitress.

“Hey boys. You are welcome to join me at my table. I haven’t ordered yet.”

“Thanks Mr. Johns. Don’t mind if we do.”

“How have you been Granger? I’ve been well Mr. Johns, how about yourself?”

“Can’t complain. Still on the green side of the grass.”

“This is my boyfriend, Carson.”

“Nice to meet you Mr. Johns.”

“You know young Granger here has helped me out a lot over the years. My farm is just up the road from his parents. Being what is known as a ‘confirmed bachelor’ I didn’t have any kids to help out with the harvest. I would hire seasonal help, but that is not always reliable. Whenever one of the guys would quit or not show up, Granger would magically show up and dig right in. Don’t know how I could have made it over the years without him.”

“Ah, you are being too kind Mr. Johns. You helped us out plenty too.”

Mr. Johns just smiled. “You got yourself a good one there Carson.”

“I sure think so, sir.”

“You know Granger, I have been waiting to run into you for a while. I have something back at the farm that I would like to give to you. Would you boys be able to stop by after we are done eating? If you have the time, that is.”

Granger looked over at Carson. “Sure, we have time.”

The boys pulled up to the small farmhouse. Mr. Johns was waiting at the front door for them. “Have a seat on the porch. I’ll fetch us some lemonade.”

“This lemonade is very tasty. Thank you.” Carson said as he rocked the big wicker rocker.

“You boys are lucky. When I was your age, it would have been deadly if I admitted that I had a boyfriend. It was bad enough being labeled a ‘confirmed bachelor’. My family disowned me, and all my friends have passed on.”

“Wait, Mr. Johns. Are you telling me that you are gay?” Granger asked.

“You didn’t know? I thought the whole snarky town knew.”

“I never put any thought to it. You were a friendly neighbor who worked day and night.”

“Like I said earlier, you were always good to me. Your parents too. Then seeing you boys together I knew what I wanted to do.” The old man reached over to the side table and picked up a document. “Sign right there on the bottom Granger and it’s equally yours and mine. Once I die it will all be yours.”

“Wait, what will be mine? What are you talking about sir?”

“Well, the farm, you dim wit. What the hell do you think I have been blabbing on and on about? The 360-acre farm and everything on it. Two stipulations though. 1. I live in the house till I die. 2. The second you sign this doc, I quit working the farm. You keep all the proceeds from your work.”

“But sir, this is too much.” Granger said with shock.

“Who the hell do you think I can give it to? I ain’t got no kids or family. I was going to give it to the state for a preserve, but that prick pissed me off. Are you planning on pissing me off too?”

“No sir. Thank you, sir. I just do not know what to say.” Granger said with emotion.

“You ain’t got to say nothin. Just sign the damn paper so I can retire.”

Granger jumped up with tears in his eyes and hugged the old man. “Huggin ain’t signin.”

“Ok it’s signed. How can I ever thank you.”

“Just treat the farm with respect. Treat each other with respect. The rest will all work out.”

Granger jumped up again and gave the old man another tight hug. “All right, all right kid. These bones are old. You’re gonna crack my ribs.”

Now ten months later the boys are building a small ranch style house off the side road near the back of the property. It sits up on a ridge with a full walk-out basement overlooking a lazy river down below. The house designed for future expansion.

Today was a very special day. The flooring underlayment was installed in the master bedroom and the sliding glass door leading to the future deck was installed.

“Hey Carson, come here and look at the beautiful sunset out our sliding glass doors.”

“Granger, that is so beautiful.”

“Not nearly as beautiful as you.” The hot stud said as he dropped to one knee.

THE END
