An Unexpected Turn

Anxieties

As the rain began blowing in toward the deck, we decided to go inside to finish our drinks. We went down to the Family Room in the lower level to watch the news so we could hear it above the din of the pouring rain and frequent rumble of thunder. The forecast wasn’t good, calling for rain throughout the night. Flooding was no longer a question of if, but of how much. Ian commented, “I wonder how Carl and Chad are doing. Does Carl live in a low-lying area”? Ian shrugged and I replied, “It’s not in a flood zone so he should be relatively safe”. Ian then said, “Chad should be ok as well. I never had any water in the basement, even through a few hurricanes”. Ryan still seemed concerned, “Maybe I’ll call Chad later to check on him”. “I wonder how Tony and Scott are making out with Mike? Heard anything since last night Steve”, Ian asked? “What happened last night”, Ryan asked? “No, I haven’t heard anything since last night Ian”, I replied, then explained what had happened between Tony, Scott and Mike and the fact that both Mike and Scott came close to drowning, that Scott had slid underwater in the process of helping to save Mike. “Wow! What a night. I can’t believe their best friend reacted the way he did. I hope my parents don’t react that way when I finally come out to them”, Ryan said. “Same here”, Ian replied.

I remained silent. I was contemplating whether it was good or not that I wasn’t in that situation. My parents were dead, so I didn’t have to deal with telling them about Ian and I. Then again, I’d gladly deal with that dilemma to have them back and I’d be proud to show off Ian to them. “Steve”, Ian called questioningly, snapping me out of my thoughts? “What”, I asked in return? Ian grinned, “Where were you”? “Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Sorry I spaced out on you”, I said. I could tell by the concern on Ian’s face that he knew that something I had been thinking about had been serious, so I said, “It’s just that it got me thinking about my own parents and how I wished they were still alive so I could introduce them to you Ian, as well as the great many friends that I now have”. Ian smiled brightly and Ryan said, “Thanks Steve. Nice way to pull us out of a depressing conversation and inflate our egos”. We all grinned. We sat back and watched a soccer game and when it was over, we decided to check on our friends.

Ryan called Chad and found out that he’d been sent home early from work because of flooding. He was home and in no danger from the flooding but was bored being home alone with nothing to do.

Ian called Carl who also had left work early. It was fortunate because he barely made it through a partially flooded intersection when his car had stalled. It started a few minutes later after drying out and he continued home safely. If he’d left work any later, he probably wouldn’t have made it through the intersection. He was going to eat dinner and go to bed, wondering, with the thunder, if he would be able to sleep.

I called Tony to see how he and Scott were making out with Mike and the flooding. He told me about Mike’s car and how Mike had dove in to keep Scott from being sucked into the manhole. He said there was still tension between the friends, but they weren’t as bad as they had been. Still, Mike was keeping his distance from them and was unusually quiet, but at least he wasn’t being abusive with them. Tony had excused himself from the room so he could talk with me in private, so his last comment to me was how he and Scott wished they could get intimate, but with Mike in the house, that was going to be difficult. I told him they would have plenty of time to make it up after Mike left. Tony told me his parents had called and said they probably wouldn’t be able to make it home for a few days due to the flooding and that there was plenty of food in the chest freezer downstairs and that the generator would start in the event they lost power. I told him to call me if they needed anything and to keep an eye on the flooding.

After the phone calls were completed and we shared the information with each other, we went up and made dinner. After dinner, I made us each a rum and coke. I looked out onto the deck and realized there was nothing to see but a wall of water, so we had our drink downstairs before deciding it was time for bed. “I guess maybe I should add a bedroom down here. I never considered that storms may be so loud that they may keep us up at night”, I replied as we ascended the stairs. “Not a bad idea”, Ian agreed. Ryan grinned and said, “Well, if we can’t sleep, I can think of other things we can do”. Ian laughed and said, Steve, I think we’ve created a monster”, which caused all three of us to laugh.

With the king-sized bed and the storm, there was no question Ryan would be sleeping with us, so we stripped down to our underwear and climbed onto the bed. We weren’t planning on going to sleep right away and with the constant thunder, probably wouldn’t be able to anyway. Lying on our backs, we talked for a while. Ryan was talking about some of the courses he would be taking and was looking forward to showing Peter the campus. Of course, Ian had to interject, “The campus isn’t all you want to show Peter”. I added, “You two would make a cute couple”. Ryan turned pink, but said, “He does have a nice butt doesn’t he”? With Ryan lying between us, Ian and I both turned on our sides toward him. Ian nibbled on Ryan’s right ear for a moment before saying, “I remember seeing a cute butt as it swam away from me after I threw a pair of boxers to Steve”. Ryan giggled and replied, “I think you set me up with those boxers”. Ian giggled as well causing Jr. to wake up. Ian then said, “You’re the one who decided to dive knowing how loose those boxers were around your waist”, before diving his tongue into Ryan’s ear. I moved down to Ryan’s left nipple and began licking and nibbling on it. “Fuck”, Ryan groaned. I slowly moved down across Ryan’s abs licking and kissing. I remembered Ryan’s belly button was a very sensitive spot for him and dove my tongue into it, causing his stomach to tighten and a wet spot to form in his underwear at the tip of his now stiff cock. Ryan was now rubbing Ian’s crotch through his tight briefs and I slowly moved down to lick at the wet spot in Ryan’s briefs before sliding them down over his hips. He lifted slightly, allowing me to slide them down and off completely. As I did that, Ian wriggled out of his own briefs and then knelt next to Ryan’s head at the top of the bed. He then began slapping his stiff cock across Ryan’s forehead. I grinned as Ryan tried moving his head to capture Ian’s cock with his mouth, but Ian kept moving it away, teasing him. I took Ryan’s precum-leaking cock in my own mouth, savoring the salty sweetness. Ian then climbed across Ryan’s torso, straddling across his chest. I heard them both chuckling and a slapping sound and was sure Ian was now slapping his cock across Ryan’s cheeks. As I bobbed on Ryan’s stiff cock, I also watched that sweet butt of Ian’s as he apparently was now giving Ryan what he wanted. “Ow”, Ian yelped as I mischievously slapped his left butt cheek. Soon Ryan’s hands reached around and palmed each of Ian’s butt cheeks, squeezing them and enabling him to take more of Ian’s cock down his throat.

Suddenly Ryan pulled off Ian’s cock and asked, “Can I fuck you Steve”? Ian turned toward me grinning, obviously encouraging me to say yes. I gave Ian the eye and ‘really?’ grin and said, “Ok. You want me doggy”? Ryan said, “Not this time. Why don’t you lay on your back and we’ll do it missionary”? I climbed on my back while Ian retrieved a condom and some lube. Ian rolled the condom over Ryan’s cock and then applied some lube to the covered shaft. Ian them smiled at me as he worked some lube into me with a finger and then added a second. As Ian moved back, Ryan moved forward between my legs smiling, “Ready”? I grabbed my legs behind my knees and lifted them up, exposing myself to him, “Stick it to me Ryan”. Ryan moved in and rubbed the tip of his cock against my tight ring a bit before pushing forward. I grunted as he entered me and he waited a few seconds before continuing to push inside. Soon he was pressed tightly against me and smiling down at me, “I want to look in your eyes as I fuck you this time Steve”. “Don’t get any ideas Ryan”, Ian cautioned him grinning. Ryan turned a little pink but just grinned.

As Ryan began pumping in and out of Steve, Ian kissed Steve before standing up on the bed and straddling across Steve facing Ryan. With a grin on his face, Ian thrust his rigid cock at Ryan’s lips. Ryan opened up and took it into his mouth. As Ryan thrust forward into Steve’s hot hole, Ian thrust forward into Ryan’s mouth.

As Ryan fucked me, massaging my prostate, I watched in awe as Ian’s fantastic butt cheeks tightened and relaxed as he thrust his hard cock in and out of Ryan’s hot mouth. My cock was flooding my abdomen with precum. I couldn’t resist smearing it up with my fingers and using it to work my own stiff rod. “This is so fucking hot”, I groaned. Ian glanced back in my direction and grinned, realizing I was watching his butt, “Ryan’s got such a hot mouth”, he said before turning his head back toward him. All I could hear from Ryan were moans and grunts due to Ian’s cock in his mouth. Those moans and grunts soon became louder and higher in pitch indicating he was about to unload inside me. The added stimulus of Ryan’s impending orgasm brought Ian to the edge as well, “Fuck! I’m about to cum! Want it Ryan”, Ian asked? “Ummm! Umhmmm”, was all I heard before I felt Ryan’s cock grow slightly and then throb inside me. I felt the pressure of the condom filling inside me and then Ian cried out, “Oh fuck yeah. Swallow my seed Ryan”! Hearing this and watching Ian’s buns clench as he filled Ryan’s mouth with his cum brought me over the edge as well, “Oh fuck yeah”, I cried out as I felt the cum surging up from my balls and blast from my cock covering my torso and chin in creamy whiteness. Ian slowly pulled his still stiff cock from Ryan’s lips as he caught his breath, “Fuck that was hot”, he said as he turned to look down at me. Ryan slowly pulled out from me and removed the condom from his cock. I looked up grinning at Ian as I caught my own breath. Ian giggled before dropping down and slurping the cum from my chin. Ryan soon was licking it from my abs. I began laughing because of the feel of his tongue in my belly button. Ian and Ryan worked their way toward each other as they lapped up my cum, culminating in a cum swapping kiss. “You’re making me jealous now”, I said in jest. They both then moved up and the three of us snowballed my cum between us until it was gone. They then crawled on either side of me and laid their heads on my chest as I put an arm around each of their shoulders. Exhausted, we drifted off to sleep.

As Tony and Scott sat next to each other on the sofa watching the movie, Mike sat in the recliner periodically glancing in their direction. How could he not have noticed what had been going on between them? When had it started? Could he remain friends with two fa--, homosexuals? Neither of them had ever seemed like they could have those tendencies. They had played sports together and always played hard. That’s not how fags would play, er, homosexuals. Maybe they were just confused. Maybe the accident had done something or maybe something or someone else was influencing them. His dad had said the only good fag was a dead one. He could never kill either of them because of their choice of lifestyle, could he? Mike glanced back toward Tony, and Scott and noticed Scott looking at Tony. That look was pretty much the same look Julie had sometimes, but guys shouldn’t look at each other like that. Maybe if he talked to each one of them alone he could convince them that what they were doing was a mistake. They didn’t love each other like that. They were just so close as friends that things may have just happened. Things Mike didn’t even want to think about, but he wondered what they might have already done together. Mike glanced in their direction again and realized Tony’s hand was on top of Scott’s. He quickly looked away. ‘This is just so wrong’, he thought to himself. Maybe if he could just convince Tony that Scott is just a bad influence and is corrupting him.

I watched as Mike was shoveling dirt onto a mound. Tears were rolling down his cheeks as he sniffled and breathed heavily at his exertion. Then he cried out, “I’m so sorry Scott. I didn’t want to hurt you. It was how I was brought up and now I can’t take it back. I’m so sorry”. I watched as another pile of dirt was shoveled on the mound. It almost looked like a…..grave? “No!”, I heard a voice yell out! I awoke suddenly and looked to Ian who looked terrified.

“Steve, did you see that? Was he burying him”, Ian was asking in a frantic voice? “I don’t know Ian. I’m not sure what we saw”, I responded. “Oh my god Steve! We have to warn them”, Ian said, tears now rolling down his cheeks.

“What’s going on? What do you mean by what we saw”, Ryan began asking, apparently awakened by Ian’s frantic voice.

I looked to Ian and said, “Calm down. It’s not clear what we saw, so don’t assume anything”, then I turned to Ryan and tried to explain, “Sometimes Ian eavesdrops on my dreams. It’s been happening a lot lately”.

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean? How can someone eavesdrop on someone else’s dreams? This is some deep shit you’re talkin’ about! You guys are starting to freak me out here”, Ryan said, his brows furrowed in disbelief.

“Eavesdropping? You say that like I have some control over it! I don’t! You saw what I saw Steve! Tell me it didn’t look like Mike was burying someone”, Ian said frustrated! Ryan looked on confused and also frustrated that he suddenly had a lot of questions and wasn’t really getting any answers. It was obvious though to him that Steve and Ian were far more complicated than he had ever imagined.

I realized that though I intended to calm down Ryan, I had inadvertently pissed off Ian. “I didn’t mean it like that Ian. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you keep getting drawn into my dreams. I don’t even know what they mean. They may be just something I ate last night and are just regular nightmares that mean nothing at all”.

“Steve! Stop! Don’t try to make me feel better by bullshitting me! You and I both know it definitely does mean something, just like the woman’s scream and the ground rumbling. Something’s coming and now this new thing with Mike…”, Ian was replying. Ryan just looked at us confused.

I took a deep breath and said, “Ok Ian, you’re right. Something’s going on, but neither one of us knows what it is or what it means. Maybe it’s a warning and if we figure it out, we can stop it, but maybe it’s just something that’s going to happen no matter what we do. I don’t have the answers, at least not right now”. Ian calmed down a bit and nodded with a slight smile and said, “I know Steve. It’s just that these dreams are terrifying, and I seem so helpless to stop what may happen”. I smiled and nodded trying to reassure him, then kissed his forehead, “I know stud. I wish I had the answers, but I don’t., just the same questions you have”, then I looked to Ryan and said, “I guess you have a lot of questions, but I don’t have all the answers for you Ryan. This is all new to me and now to Ian as well. Ever since the accident on the highway, my life has been turned upside down. I do something or go somewhere that seems totally normal to me and wind up in the middle of shit. I have dreams that end up becoming reality. It’s like living in a nightmare that turns into reality. I don’t know why I chose the route I did on the night Tony crashed his car with his friends, but I ended up there. Ian and I were just going for a drive so I could stop somewhere and ask him to marry me when we came upon the house fire. We were all just going down to the beach so I could show it to everyone when we found that kid was drowning. I have no explanation for it, but it keeps happening and lately Ian has been having the same dreams or is sharing my dreams. I can’t explain it”.

Ryan nodded and looked to us saying, “A few months ago, if someone was telling me this, I’d be laughing at them. I’ve lived some of this though and know it’s real. I can’t explain how you end up in those situations, but when I was part of it, I know I was meant to be there and follow your direction and do my part. I’m proud to know you, both of you. I don’t know the mysteries behind all this, but I do know I’m glad you guys found me, even though it was in an embarrassing moment. I think that may have been meant to be as well. Maybe down the line, I might be able to contribute more. I hope so”.

Ian gave me a kiss and then said to Ryan, “I’d given myself to this guy long before anyone knew what a saint he was. He gives so much of himself to everyone else around him and makes them better as a result. He’s my soulmate and I hope he just saves enough of himself to stay alive.

“Neither one of you better die on me”, Ryan said and then the three of them drifted back to sleep.
