Your kids will be your entire life in the coming years, and you would not want it any other way. Just remember to make some time for you and Mitch to still have a little fun. You are both still young men, and you are still in love. You have a great support group in your families, they will be more than willing to help, just like they have always done…

Mitch and I were busy with a newborn and toddler, both still in diapers. We were trying to potty train little Josh, and it was going fairly well. Beth, Molly and mom have been a huge help with giving us lots of advice. Beth and Molly had also been great about babysitting whenever we needed it. Of course, we returned the favor and watched their kids every time we could. Our kids were becoming great friends with their cousins, and we were making more trips to see my brother and sister too. We really wanted Josh and Alex to know their entire family.
During one of our visits to my parents’ house, mom reminded me and my brother that we should temper our usual ‘little queer/big douche bag’ greeting when little ears were around. We both agreed that neither of us wanted to be called to the school after our kids mimicked us and we would have to explain why our kids were using the words queer or douche. We still greeted each other that way, but we were more discreet about it.
My brother and sister were also coming to spend time with us, and it goes without saying, my parents were making a lot of trips to see us too. My brother and sister now also have two kids each, so with Conner and Cole, my parents were the proud grandparents of 8 kids. I always had to laugh at my dad; he let those kids get away with so much more than he ever did with his own kids. I have always heard that parents mellow with age, I guess it’s true.
By 2005, Mitch had moved into a manager role at his job, and I was starting to work with the 3rd generation of the Emerson family. Bob’s son Cory graduated from college and just like his dad, he has been working at every position in the business over the last couple of years. Right now, he is working with me.
As I was going over the latest balance sheet with him, he sighed, “I won’t ever get all of this asset and liability crap. I just want to see that profit and loss statement you showed me yesterday and work on our next product.”
Bob walked in as Cory made his comment, he said, “You need to at least understand where those numbers come from, so you know if you have enough money to work on that next product. As long as Jack is here, he’ll make sure the right numbers get put in the right place.”
Cory looked at me, “You aren’t planning on leaving anytime soon, are you?”
I laughed, “Not unless you fire me.”
Cory turned back to Bob, “What do think, should we give him a raise?”
Bob shook his head, “Just listen to Jack so you get the general idea, you need to know if we are making any money.”
As he walked away, Cory winked at me and we got back to work. I was already being paid an above average salary and the Emersons had a very generous bonus program for everyone that worked for them. If the business made money, we all made money.
I picked up the kids from daycare after work one day and Mitch arrived as I was getting Alex out of her car seat. We take turns getting the kids each day. Mitch helped Josh out of the car and grabbed the mail as we walked inside. He flipped through the letters as I took Josh’s coat off.
He grinned, “You have a letter from your high school. Did you forget to return a library book?”
I gave him a kiss, “Maybe, I wonder what the fine would be for a book not being returned for twenty years.”
He laughed, “You’ve been out of school for twenty years? Damn, you’re old.” He bent down to take Alex’s coat off.
I rolled my eyes, “We are the same age, asshole.” I looked down to see Josh looking up at me. I stammered, “I so love you.” It was the only thing I could think of that quickly that sounded sort of like asshole.
Mitch snickered, “Smooth.”
The kids went to the other room and started to pull their toys out to play as Mitch and I started to get dinner ready. I took the envelope and opened it.
As I pulled the letter from the envelope, Mitch stepped behind me and kissed my neck, “What is it?”
I leaned into his kiss, “An invitation to my 20-year high school reunion.”
He kissed me again, “Are you going to go?”
I shrugged, “Do you want to go with me?”
He smiled, “If you want me to.”
I grinned, “I would love to show you off to all of my old friends. There are a bunch of people that I haven’t seen since graduation.”
Mitch wrapped his arm around me and asked, “Any old boyfriends?”
I chuckled, “No, just a girlfriend.”
His eyes went wide, “Seriously?”
I nodded, “Yep, I didn’t come out until my first year of college. I told you that.”
He sighed, “Yeah, I guess you did, but you never said you had a girlfriend in high school.”
I shrugged, “I was still in denial about being gay, I broke up with her when I left for college.”
Mitch raised an eyebrow, “So, did you have sex?”
I laughed, “No, but we probably would have if I hadn’t ended things. She told Stacey, Dan’s wife, that she was planning a special night before I left.”
He grinned at me. I turned the tables, “Have you ever had sex with a girl.”
Mitch puffed out his chest, “Sure, dozens of them.”
I was a bit shocked at his confession, until he burst out laughing. He continued, “At least that’s what I told all my high school buddies. To tell the truth, I have never even kissed a girl and was a virgin until my second year of college.”
I rolled my eyes, “I should have known, you are so full of sh….” Alex toddled in and I said, “Sweetheart, are you getting hungry?”
Mitch’s laugh echoed through the room, “You’re getting better at that.”
I gave Alex and Josh a cracker to hold them until we had dinner ready. Mitch pushed on, “So, were you a virgin when you left for college?”
I grinned, “Nope.”
He shook his head, “Why have we never talked about this before?”
I shrugged, “I’m not sure.” He kept his eyes on me, I knew he wanted to hear about it. I sighed, “His name was Tommy Caldwell…”
After I told him all the details, Mitch said, “He was faking being drunk so that you would drive him home?”
I nodded, “Yes, and once he started things, I was too turned on to stop him. The little geek was actually pretty hot. I wonder if he will be at the reunion.”
Mitch grinned, “Oh we are definitely going to the reunion, I want to meet his guy.”
A month later, we were on our way to visit my parents and to see some old friends. Mitch had met Dan and Stacey many times but had not met any of my other classmates. Mom and dad were thrilled to babysit Josh and Alex; mom never missed the chance to spoil any of her grandkids.
We arrived at the reunion just as Dan and Stacey were parking their car. We exchanged hugs and walked inside; Mitch was glad that he at least knew someone already. The room was all decorated with our school colors and ‘Class of 85” posters on all the walls. There was to be a happy hour, followed by a catered dinner and then more time to socialize.
As soon as we entered, we turned to go to the bar for a drink. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Julie smiling at me.
She gave me a big hug, “Jack, I was hoping you would make it.”
I smiled, “Julie, it’s so nice to see you. You look great.”
She rolled her eyes, “I’m old and fat, but thank you for the little fib.”
I shook my head, “You are not fat, and you look just like the day we graduated.”
She hit my shoulder, “You were always too nice. Oh, Jack, this is my husband, Bill. Bill this is Jack Tanner.”
We shook hands and I said, “Julie, Bill, this is my partner, Mitch Olson.”
We filled each other in our jobs and lives since graduation. She pulled out pictures of her two kids, “This is Dylan, he graduated last year and started college this fall. Heidi is a junior in high school. It’s hard to believe that we are going to be empty nesters soon.”
I smiled, “They are very good-looking kids.” I reached into my pocket, I chuckled, “I guess that’s my cue, here are our little ones, Josh and Alex. Josh is four and Alex is two, we kind of got a late start on our family.”
Julie said, “They are precious, and she has your eyes, Jack.”
Bill nodded, “And the little guy looks like your mini-me, Mitch.”
Mitch beamed, “We think they’re pretty special.”
Julie smiled, “I am so glad to see you so happy, Jack.”
I returned her smile, “Thank you. I’m glad you are happy too. I really feel bad about not being honest with you in high school.”
She shook her head, “We were just kids still trying to figure out who we were. To be honest, I have always wanted to thank you.”
I said, “Thank me? For what?”
She took my hand, “I admit, I thought my life was over when you broke up with me. When I found out you were gay, it all made sense. I honestly think if you would have told me that was the reason you wanted to break up with me, I would have thought it was my fault that you turned gay.”
I shook my head, “No, it’s not…”
She stopped me, “I know that isn’t how it works, you were always gay and needed to deal with it in your own way. In some ways, you were the best boyfriend I ever had.”
I looked at Bill as he listened to his wife. She grabbed his arm and chuckled, “Except for this guy, of course. The guy I dated after you was a real jerk, and I was sure he would change. After way too long, I realized that it was never going to happen. After that I compared every man to the you. You treated me so well, I knew I was not going to settle for anything less. Thankfully, Bill was the next guy to come along, and he measured up perfectly.”
Bill gave Julie a kiss on the cheek, “I’m just glad I was able to measure up to the legendary Jack.”
I think I blushed, honestly, I was a bit flattered. Julie rolled her eyes and said, “You are each in class of your own.”
I gave her another hug, “I’m glad I could help. Now let’s grab a drink and you can tell me more about those kids.”
Mitch laughed, “And be prepared for us to bore you with lots of potty stories.”
Bill chuckled, “We probably have a few of those too, but they may be a little dated.”
We joined Dan and Stacey at their table; they had found a few of our other friends. Soon everyone was passing around pictures of their kids to lots of ‘so cute’ and ‘adorable’ comments. I excused myself to go get us all another round of drinks, Mitch followed to help me carry them back to our table. Mitch took the first tray as I waited for the second and to pay the bill. I felt someone walk to bar and stand next to me.
He said, “Hi, Jack.”
My eyes went wide, “Rob, hi. How are you?”
He gave me a slight smile, “I’m good thanks. You are looking well. Is the guy that just left, your…”
I prepared myself for snide comment and I sighed, “Yes, that’s Mitch, my partner.”
Rob said, “He looks like a nice guy.”
I nodded, “He is a great guy.” I was trying to figure out what Rob was up to. He has not wanted to speak to me since I told him that I was gay.
He took a deep breath, “Look Jack, I was hoping you would be here. I really wanted to tell you how sorry I am, about the way I acted when you told me that you were gay.”
I studied his face, he looked sincere, I said, “Thank you.”
Rob said, “It’s no excuse, but my old man was a terrible homophobe, and I guess he raised me the same way. I was sure you would want to try something with me.”
I shook my head, “I would have never done that, Rob.”
He nodded, “I know that. I guess after you told me you were gay, I just needed to prove how straight I was. I slept with as many girls as I could, which led to my first kid. I had to quit college and take a dead-end job. After the fourth kid, I started to drown my sorrows in booze. It wasn’t long before my wife and kids all hated me.”
I said, “I’m sorry, Rob.”
He shook his head, “Don’t be sorry, Jack. You did nothing wrong.”
I said, “Well, I appreciate you talking to me tonight. I hope things work out for you.”
Rob smiled, “Thanks, I’m working on it. When I found out about the reunion, I was hoping you would come, I really wanted to make amends with you.”
It all started to make sense, I asked, “Rob, are you in AA?”
He nodded, “Yes, I haven’t had a drop of alcohol for a little over two years now.”
I smiled, “Good for you. Can I ask what made you decide to quit drinking?”
He took another deep breath, and I noticed a tear form in the corner of his eye, “I caught my oldest son with his boyfriend. I reacted just as badly as I did with you. I told him to get out of my house. My wife told me that he was not leaving, I would be the one that would be moving out if I couldn’t deal with it. She made us all sit down and talk, then it hit me, he was still the same kid, my kid, he wasn’t any different. He just wanted to be who he really was. Even though we didn’t have the best relationship at that point, I owed it to him to be there for him when he needed my support the most. Our relationship isn’t perfect now, but it is much better.”
I fought back the lump in my throat, “I don’t think you will ever regret having that talk with your family.”
Rob smiled, “I know I won’t. I have a lot of work to do, but I know now that I have a good family that I really don’t deserve.”
Dan and Mitch had noticed that Rob and I were talking, they both stood and walked toward us. By the look on Mitch’s face, I could see that he was quickly shifting into his protector mode. I gave him a smile as he put his arm around my back.
Mitch asked, “Is everything okay?”
I nodded, “Yes, it is. Mitch, this is my good friend Rob. Rob, this is my partner, Mitch.”
Rob extended his hand and said, “It’s very nice to meet you.”
Mitch’s face softened, “Nice to meet you too, Rob.”
Rob turned to the lady that I hadn’t noticed standing behind him, “This is my wife, Heather.”
I smiled, “Why don’t you guys join us, I was just getting everyone a drink, can I get you… I’m sorry Rob, I didn’t mean…”
He shook his head, “No, it’s okay Jack. I would love a Dr. Pepper.”
Heather smiled, “A Diet Coke for me please.”
I nodded, “Coming right up.”
Rob and Heather joined our table, and we all continued to talk about our kids and jobs as our meal was being served. It was turning into a very pleasant evening. I was glad we came and Mitch even told me he was having a good time. He loved hearing any embarrassing stories about me from my high school years.
After we finished eating, the caterers began to clear our dishes. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I assumed it was a server reaching in to take my plate.
When the hand never moved, I turned to see Tommy smiling at me. He said, “Hi Jack.”
I stood and gave him a hug, “Wow, Tommy. You look amazing.”
He chuckled, “You look great too.”
He introduced me to his partner, Vince. I, of course, introduced him to Mitch.
Mitch whispered, “Is this ‘the’ Tommy?”
I chuckled, “Yes.”
Tommy and Vince must have heard us, Tommy laughed and turned to Vince, “Yes, that Jack.”
The rest of the table looked confused and had no idea what we were talking about. I invited Tommy and Vince to join us and our pleasant conversation continued. Not only had Tommy shed his shy geeky look for a more sophisticated look, but he was also very successful. Gone was the short buzz cut and thick glasses, he now sported a longer very styled haircut and what appeared to be a tailored suit and contact lenses. Vince was just as well dressed and stood maybe an inch or two taller with classic Italian features.
Right after Tommy graduated from college, he developed some software for the banking industry. It quickly became the standard, and Tommy sold his company for a lot of money. He now works as a consultant just so he has something to do. Vince is the president of a bank; he was a teller at a bank when Tommy came to install his software. They started to date and have been together for over 15 years.
A couple of hours later, everyone started to say goodbye and leave. Tommy, Vince, Mitch and I were still talking as the others left.
I said, “It was really great to see you Tommy.”
He smiled, “Yeah, I’m so glad I got see you too.” He paused for a second then said, “Vince and I have a bottle of Scotch back in our hotel room, would you guys like to join us for a night cap?”
I looked at Mitch; he smiled and nodded. I said, “Sure, that sounds great.”
As they led us into their room, I noticed it had two beds. One appeared to have the clothes that they changed out of to put on their suits. Vince poured us each a glass of Scotch as Tommy threw the clothes into their suitcase. Mitch and I sat on one bed facing Tommy and Vince as they sat down on the other.
Tommy asked us how we met, which led to us telling them about Josh and Alex, both our deceased boyfriends and our kids.
After they shared a little more about how they met, Tommy smiled and said, “I really want to thank you for that night after the party.”
I shrugged, “I gave other people a ride home that night too. It was nothing I wouldn’t do for any friend.”
Tommy smirked, “I don’t think you helped your other friends like you helped me.”
Vince and Mitch both stifled a little chuckle.
Tommy said, “That was fun and all, but you helped me more than that that night.”
I asked, “What do you mean.”
He took a deep breath, “After my dad died, mom just knew that I was going to disappear every time I walked out the door and never come back. If I had let her, she probably would have given me a bath every night just to make sure I didn’t drown. After I snuck out and you talked to me, I realized that I had been missing out on so many things all through high school. She wanted me to continue to live with her after graduation and go to the local community college. I don’t think she was ever going to let me move out. You gave me the courage to stand up to her and move out of town for college and my life turned out great.”
I smiled, “I’m happy for you Tommy, but you did all that on your own. Are things okay with your mom now?”
He chuckled, “Yeah, they’re mostly good. Whenever we come home to see her, she always starts telling me about a friend with a single daughter that I should meet. I just roll my eyes and walk over to Vince and give him a big kiss and say, no thanks mom. She just sighs and changes the subject. She moved into a one bed-room apartment a few years ago, so that’s why we stay in a hotel.”
Vince chuckled, “She’s a good mom, but every now and then, she just needs to be reminded that Tommy isn’t looking for anyone else.”
We finished our drinks as we talked more about our families. As Vince downed the last of his Scotch, he said, “When Tommy told me that you might be at the reunion, I really wanted to meet you.”
I smiled, “I am glad that you guys came too. And I’m glad we got to meet you.”
Vince nodded, “There is something more though. Tommy and I love each other very much and never do anything sexual with other people. However, we don’t mind if other people do things while we are in the room.”
Mitch and I looked at each other, a little confused.
Tommy rolled his eyes and sighed, “What Mr. Subtle here is trying to say, we like to watch other couples having sex. If you don’t want to, just say so and we will drop it.”
Were they asking if they could watch me and Mitch have sex? I turned to look at Mitch.
He had a mischievous look in his eyes. He said, “I love this guy and I would make love to him in the middle of Times Square on New Years Eve. I don’t care who watches.”
I was a little surprised, and I must admit, a little turned by Mitch’s response. We had never talked about anything like this. I asked him, “Are you sure?”
He shrugged, “I’m game if you are.”
My suddenly hard cock seemed to answer that question. I pushed Mitch onto his back, and we began to kiss and pull at each other’s clothes. As soon as we were both shirtless, I looked over to see Tommy and Vince kissing and taking their own clothes off. My cock leaked more precum at the thought of them being turned on by watching me and Mitch.
We broke our kiss to remove our pants and underwear, any trepidation that I felt earlier, suddenly disappeared. We kissed again as our hard cocks rubbed together and our hands started roam all over the other’s body. Again, Tommy and Vince were doing the same thing. Tommy obviously has a workout routine that he follows religiously, and Vince must join him at the gym.
I continued to watch them as Mitch kissed his way down my chest and abs. He licked up the precum that had pooled on my stomach. He gave my shaft a quick lick and then moved onto my sensitive nuts. I replaced the precum that Mitch licked up with a brand-new batch. I spread my legs further as Mitch licked his way down to my winking pucker. I love what I knew was coming next. I pulled my legs up as Mitch’s tongue found my hole.
I glanced over to see Tommy and Vince mirroring every move we made. Tommy was on his back with legs up as Vince buried his face in Tommy’s ass. I have no idea what was turning me on more, Mitch rimming me, Tommy and Vince watching us, or me watching them. Mitch’s tongue reminded me what I really liked as I pulled at the bedspread while he rimmed me.
As soon as Mitch had slobbered all over my hole, he came up for another kiss. He kept moving up until his pole was within reach of my tongue. I flicked it out to taste his love juices and he moved further up so I could properly suck him. At this point, I completely forgot all about what was going on in other bed.
Mitch pulled back, his cock left my lips with a loud pop. He kissed me again and returned my legs to an upright position. I felt his cock knocking and my backdoor, I grabbed his ass to invite him in. Just as Mitch bottomed out, I glanced across the room. Tommy had mounted Vince, doggy-style, his eyes were locked on Mitch’s ass bouncing back and forth. My eyes were locked Vince’s glorious uncut cock flopping around, a steady stream of fluid dripping down to the bed, fuck it was hot.
My attention was soon diverted when I felt my nuts start to tighten. Mitch stared into my eyes with a sly smile on his lips. He pushed in as far as he could, hitting my love button, of course, this sent me over the edge, and my cock began to spew a large load of love lava all over my stomach. Mitch grunted as he filled me with a generous dose of his baby makers. We kissed again until our spasms finally subsided.
We looked over to the bed beside us as Tommy pulled out and covered Vince’s firm round ass with a quart of his hot seed. The cream ran down those cheeks and the well-fucked hole that had just milked it from its home. Tommy quickly rolled Vince onto his back and grabbed Vince’s cock. He leaned down as he stuck his tongue out while he began to stroke. A few strokes later, his tongue was catching every drop of cum that Vince was squirting out.
Once Vince’s body stopped quaking, they turned to look at us watching them. We smiled as they both slightly blushed. I chuckled, “You guys looked like you were having fun.”
Tommy blushed even more, “I guess you guys really turned us on.”
Tommy got off the bed and retrieved a couple of towels so that we could clean up a bit. His ass was just as sexy as it was in high school, maybe even more. I think his dick might even be a bit bigger too. Mitch and I dressed as they held each other, still naked.
They stood as we were about to leave, still not covering themselves. Oh well, I guess there was really no need for modesty now.
Tommy said, “I will be coming to your city next month for a consulting job, and Vince has some time off coming. How would you like to get together then?”
I smiled, “That would be great, you can come to our house, Mitch and I will cook dinner. I’m sure we can get Beth or Mitch’s brother Adam to watch the kids.”
I gave Tommy a hug and to my surprise, he pushed the hand I had on his back down to his ass. Out of reflex, I gave it a gentle squeeze. Mitch and Vince noticed and both stifled a chuckle.
On the drive back to mom and dad’s, Mitch, of course asked, “Did you get a good feel?”
I sighed, “He was the one that moved my hand down there.”
He laughed, “I know, to tell you the truth, I was tempted to cop a fell myself. They both have great asses.”
The house was dark as we parked the car. After we checked in on Josh and Alex, we crawled into bed.
Mitch said, “You have some nice friends. I’m glad we came.”
***
…By all accounts, your high school reunion was huge success. Seeing Julie after 20 years gave you the closure you needed. While she was upset at the time, she understood and was able to move on.
