Bluest of Skies
Grayson's Pov
My name is Grayson. I’ve never been easy to love. I’m a perfectionist, stubborn, controlling, mean, sensitive, protective of those I love, and more times than I count, I am misunderstood. I am a storm with no end. I am chaotic even on my best days. I used to think my life was about just surviving the storm. Now…I think it’s more about what it means to love in the face of something unstoppable. I wonder if I’m just a meditation on loss, memory, and the beauty found inside the destruction after a storm…
The twister opened its mouth to swallow me whole. I knew it was going to take me. Then it just stopped spinning, and there was nothing but debris falling from the sky, and so was I. It had me, and then it let me go. As I fell, the only thing I could think of was how I had shared the perfect night and morning with Aiden. I had fallen in love, and I had no regrets about it. Aiden had given me more than anyone else ever had.
HOURS EARLIER…
Aiden took a deep breath. Suddenly, he was nervous about what he wanted and needed to say. “I’m crazy about you. I get all these feelings and butterflies in my stomach when I’m around. Not being near you drives me crazy inside. I’m not ready to say goodbye yet. I want a few more days. How about I come back to New York for a few days and we just keep going?”
Grayson smiled, “Aiden Sky, are you trying to make an honest man of me?”
Aiden smiled, “Hopefully you’re wanting to make one of me as well. Was that stupid of me to say?”
“No, it was honest and heartfelt, and I’d love for you to come to New York and be my boyfriend.”
“I have a boyfriend,” he said as he nodded his head. “I like the sound of that. Now for my second thing. I really wanna feel you inside of me before we leave this hotel room.”
“You are insatiable.”
“Am I?” He asked as he tilted his head to the side. He pretended to think for a moment. “Maybe I just can’t get enough of you, Mr. Grayson Blue.”
Grayson bit his bottom lip and took a step toward him. Aiden leaned back on the bed. He lifted his legs into the air and then bent them until his feet were at his ears. He was sexy as fuck and very flexible. Grayson’s mouth watered as he took in the sight of Aiden’s exposed, pretty pink hole. He bent down and ran his tongue along the length of Aiden’s cock and across his balls and taint. His tongue ran across Aiden’s pucker.
Aiden moaned out, and Grayson began to fuck him with his tongue. He moved it around the wrinkled ring of flesh and then sucked on it. Aiden slowly rolled his hips. His body asked for more. Grayson pushed his tongue inside of the man. He quickly set up a pace of letting his tongue dart in and out of him. Aiden moaned and groaned underneath him. Grayson stroked his leaking cock as he tongue fucked Aiden’s hole. Juices squirted from Aiden’s hole and covered Grayson’s face.
“Shit, Aiden Sky, you taste so fucking good,” he exclaimed.
“Yeah? Give me that chocolate cock. Put it in me,” Aiden said with a near-delirious smile on his face.
Grayson stood up. He wiped his soaking wet face. His cock pointed out from his body. It was harder than it had ever been before. Grayson lined his cock up with Aiden’s hole and pushed. It popped right in. They both gasped as Aiden’s tight, warm walls wrapped themselves around Grayson’s pole. The two men kissed, and Grayson began to work his hips. He slammed his cock in and out of Aiden’s hole.
“Oh shit,” Aiden moaned. “Fuck me, Storm. Fuck me deep.”
“You feel so fucking good wrapped around my dick,” Grayson as he grunted.
Aiden spread his legs wider to give the stud better access. Deep moans flowed from Aiden as Grayson claimed his hole. Those balls pounded into his backside. Aiden’s cock leaked precum all over him. Grayson’s mouth fell open as his dick moved in and out of Aiden’s wetness. He fucked the bull harder and deeper. They both groaned, moaned, and panted.
“Oh fuck, that dick so deep. You’re wrecking my hole.” Aiden cried in pleasure.
“I want you to wreck mine after,” Grayson told him as he rolled his hips.
“Anything you want, you fucking stud,” Aiden replied as his eyes rolled.
Grayson rested his forehead against Aiden’s. The moment between them was tender and raw. Aiden’s face twisted with pleasure as Grayson’s dick continued to run through him and claim every inch inside of flesh inside of him. Grayson wrapped his hand around Aiden’s hard cock and stroked it as he fucked him. Aiden’s hole became a sloppy, wet mess. It leaked juices and coated Grayson’s dick. Grayson picked up his pace and fucked Aiden hard. He drilled into his tiny hole like a power tool.
“Fuck,” Aiden screamed as his legs began to shake.
“I’m bout to cum,” Grayson informed him.
“Not yet. I want you to cum with my dick deep in that ass,” Aiden told him.
Grayson pulled out of him. His dick was dripping wet, and Aiden’s hole was puffy and red. They quickly kissed, and then Grayson got on his hands and knees and pushed his ass out. Aiden moved directly behind him. He rolled his tongue across Grayson’s pucker. He could taste the sweat between Grayson’s cheeks. He inhaled that manly musk. It made his cock even harder.
Aiden lined his cock up and pushed it against Grayson’s hole. His long dick slid inside of the man effortlessly. Grayson welcomed that dick. He made his cakes shake. The sight overwhelmed Aiden. He took hold of those chocolate cakes and began to long dick the man. His cock moved in and out, going deeper and deeper.
“Oh shit. Fuck me, Sky,” Grayson moaned.
“Take my dick, Storm. Take that cock.”
Aiden propped one leg up on the bed. His dick started to go in at an angle. It felt so good that it made Grayson squirt repeatedly. Aiden picked up his pace. He moved in and out of that hot, wet, and tight hole. Moans of pleasure flowed deep from Grayson. Aiden took charge and fucked him like a bull full of passion. His stroke game grew intense. He was completely on a mission to wreck Grayson’s hole and steal his heart and soul.
“Tell me you love it. Tell me you love how I make you feel,” Aiden demanded of him.
“I fuckin love it. It’s so deep and good. You make me feel alive and good,” he answered.
Aiden squatted in his ass. He pounded him. Those balls tapped Grayson’s taint repeatedly. Aiden made him shake to his core. His ass began to cream all over Aiden’s white cock. It looked like someone had cast a spell on them. They were completely lost in one another. They moved to the center of the bed. Aiden put the man on his side and slid back inside of him. He held their bodies close as he fucked in and out of Grayson’s hole. He rubbed the man’s walls raw with his big cock.
Aiden continued to fuck him. He lifted Grayson’s leg, and his cock slid deeper. He slowed things down, and the only sounds that could be heard were his cock moving through Grayson’s guts. His dick was turning those insides to liquid mush. Grayson’s eyes rolled into the back of his head. He felt on fire all over. His brain couldn’t think about anything other than Aiden. It was like his senses had been and were being fucked away.
Aiden rolled Grayson onto his back. He buried his cock deeper inside of the man. His dick moved in and out of the guy. Grayson held his legs up, and Aiden took hold of his foot and sucked his big toe into his mouth. The feeling sent a rush of everything good through Grayson. He screamed out. Aiden plunged deeper into the man’s insides. He fucked him harder and faster. He took hold of Grayson’s throbbing dick.
Aiden held it tightly in his hand. He gave it a firm, long stroke, and then Grayson threw his head back. He cried out like a wounded creature as his dick erupted with hot white nut. Grayson's entire body began to shake and convulse. His dick twitched over and over. The muscles in his ass contracted around Aiden’s cock.
“Fuck, I’m bout to nut in you. Get ready for my baby makers,” Aiden cried.
He moved faster in and out of Grayson’s hole. His dick expanded and pulsed. He fucked into him faster and deeper. His face turned red, strained with muscles, and then he screamed out. It was loud, manly, and powerful. His dick exploded inside of Grayson’s wet and hot ass.
PRESENT…
Aiden was completely in the dark. The entrance had been covered. The oxygen was slowly dying out. Then something happened. Light broke through, and air flowed in. Outside smelled like wet earth and gasoline. The sky was bruised and yellow. TERRIBLE! Everything was gone. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Minutes passed, and Aiden was finally able to crawl out. He was filthy and bloody. His eyes landed on Grayson. His heart leaped. He couldn’t believe it. The world may have fallen apart, but his world stood right there before his eyes.
“Grayson,” he gasped!
Grayson pulled him tight. He hugged him with every part of him. Aiden couldn’t believe he survived. It seemed impossible. He didn’t want to question it. He just wanted to hug him and love on him. They had survived the thunder of God.
“I don’t understand,” Aiden began. “How are you still alive?”
“It just vanished,” Grayson explained. “It had me. I was in the air, and suddenly I was on the ground.”
“You stupid son of a bitch. I love you,” Aiden exclaimed—tears filled in his eyes.
He grabbed hold of Grayson and kissed him repeatedly. His heart felt whole again. In the distance, there were sirens. Everything seemed like it was going to be okay. It seemed better than okay. It seemed perfect, and perfect scared him.
“I’m gonna go get you some help,” Grayson said. “I hear the sirens.”
“I’m afraid to let go,” Aiden confessed.
“Don’t be. We have to learn to let go and trust that everything will turn out how it should.”
Aiden nodded his head, and he released him. Grayson turned and took a few steps, and then suddenly he stopped. Aiden watched him with a smile. Grayson stood there not moving for seconds and then minutes. Aiden’s smile vanished.
“Grayson?”
There was no answer. He instantly knew something was wrong. His eyes spotted the trail of blood on the ground. Then he looked at his hands. The same hands that had been wrapped around Grayson. They were covered in blood. Not just any blood. It was Grayson’s blood.
“GRAYSON!” He screamed with a broken voice.
Slowly, Grayson turned around. He looked pale in the face. Blood was dripping from his nose and mouth. He dropped to his knees and then fell backwards. Time slowed down, and sound vanished from the earth. Then, finally, Aiden’s voice came roaring…
“NO! NO! NO!”
Aiden tried to quickly move toward him. It was a struggle to move with a broken leg, but he remained determined to reach him. He made it with maybe a few minutes to spare. Grayson was shaking like someone who had been left out in the cold. A pool of deep crimson blood was behind his head. He looked so helpless. Aiden cradled him in his arms. The fall from the sky had cracked the back of his head and skull open. The rush of adrenaline had kept him from feeling the pain. His will to save Aiden had kept him going. Now that Aiden was safe, it had all caught up with him. The twister had taken what it came for.
“Grayson, please stay with me,” he cried. He pressed his forehead to Grayson’s to try and stop the bleeding. It was pointless, but it was also human nature. “God, please! PLEASE! Don’t do this. Don’t take him from me. HAVEN’T YOU TAKEN ENOUGH FROM BOTH OF US? PLEASE!”
Grayson’s breathing slowed. “It’s okay. I got to be a hero this time.” Those words broke Aiden’s heart even further.
“Yes, you did,” he cried helplessly. “You saved me. You saved me, so you can’t leave me, Grayson. I love you so much. Please don’t leave me. Just hang on. HELP ME! SOMEBODY! Please.”
“Pocket,” Grayson barely mumbled.
Aiden frantically dug into Grayson’s pocket. He pulled out a business card that belonged to Adam Reed…the twink. It had his number and email address on it. Grayson had managed to get Adam’s info that night at the county fair without Aiden knowing.
“So, you’re not alone, Aiden Sky. You showed me what love feels like, and I want you to feel it again.”
“I will be alone. I can’t be with anyone but you. I can’t love anyone but you, Grayson. Please fight. Fight to be with me. Stay with me.”
“You’ll always feel me in the wind,” Grayson said as he reached up and ran his fingers across Aiden’s face. He wanted to touch him just one last time. “Close your eyes. I don’t want you to see me like this.”
“No,” Aiden replied. “I see you. I’ll always see you forever and ever. I love you, Grayson Blue.”
“I love you, too, Aiden Sky.” His voice was labored with shallow breaths.
Aiden leaned down and pressed his lips to Grayson’s one last time. For a brief moment, Grayson kissed him back. He felt him go rigid and then lifeless in his arms. Slowly, Aiden pulled back. Grayson appeared peaceful with his grey eyes fixed on the sky. The storm in them were long gone. The man looked peaceful. Grayson was finally at peace. Aiden closed Grayson’s eyes and then clutched him and rocked back and forth. He sobbed into the cooling skin of Grayson’s shoulder. The ground held the blood, and Aiden’s tears watered the soil.
“GRAYSON!!!!” The pain and grief in Aiden’s voice echoed through the barren field for miles. “I’ll love you forever.”
The sky turned blue, and the sun began to shine bright once more. The clear skies had come and collected Grayson’s soul and carried him off to a different world. A world where he could be the person he had always dreamed of being.
SIX MONTHS LATER…
The restaurant was busy. The streets of New York City were bustling with people. Adam sat across the table from Aiden. The last six months had been both kind and hard to him. His grief had aged him. He looked and carried himself more mature. That cowboy charm was still there, but it was more refined.
“I think you would like him,” Adam said with a little charm. “He’s a real sweetheart. He’s new to the city and could use a tour guide. If you know what I mean.”
Aiden rolled his eyes. “Maybe. Maybe not. When are you going to stop trying to set me up on blind dates?”
“As soon as you actually go on one.” Adam was quick with his retort. “Going on a date doesn’t mean you’re replacing him. It just means you’re living. He doesn’t want you to be alone. Stop punishing yourself for having lived.”
Aiden quickly looked away. He stared out the window and said, “It’s not punishment. I’m afraid that if I date someone else, I’ll forget him, and I don’t ever want to forget him.”
They both went quiet. Aiden took a sip of his water. Adam crossed his arms. Aiden didn’t want anyone else in his life. He knew with everything in him that Grayson was the love of his life.
“Ask him and see what he says,” he told Aiden as he nodded his head toward the outside.
Aiden rolled his eyes. He stood up and stepped outside. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked the question. The wind suddenly began to blow fiercely. It moved through his body and soul like a familiar lover from yesterday. Aiden smiled as he could feel Grayson wrap his arms around him. He could feel him in the breeze just as Grayson promised he always would.
“Well?” Adam asked impatiently.
Aiden turned around. “One date. Don’t get your hopes up. The only person I’ll ever love is him.”
“You’ll love someone else differently, but Grayson will always be your soul mate, and Aiden, you’ll never forget him. Even when you’re two hundred years old, Grayson will always be in your heart.”
Aiden needed to hear those words. He pulled Adam in for a hug. He was lucky that Grayson had gotten the man’s number. He wouldn’t have survived the last six months with Adam by his side as a really loving and supportive friend.
A PLACE WHERE TIME DOES NOT EXIST…
Grayson opened his eyes, and he was in a field of lush green grass and trees. He could hear the water flowing like a mighty river. Everything felt light and peaceful. He looked around and took in the beauty of it all. The place was absolutely breathtaking. The pain in his body, heart, and soul was gone. Peace and joy ran through his entire being.
“G,” came that tiny little voice that broke his heart yet mended it all in the same breath.
He turned around, and there was Braylon with a smile on his face. His eyes instantly filled with tears. He ran toward his little brother. Braylon started to run toward him. They embraced, and everything was made whole inside of him. Grayson stepped back, and gone was the little boy. Braylon was suddenly an adult. He had grown up to be a nice-looking young man.
“You’re not little anymore,” he said, completely amazed.
Braylon smiled and answered, “No. I grew up, big brother.”
“Bray, I’m so sorry,” he cried as he held him tightly. “I should never have let go of your hand that night.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong, G. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
The wind began to blow. Out beyond the distance, Grayson spotted the rotating twister out on the water. He stepped away from Braylon. The beast was pure power. She was gorgeous, deadly, and churning. She was the thunder of God!
“You know what to do, big brother,” Braylon said as he stepped aside. “You can do it, G.”
Grayson took a step and then another. Soon, he was running toward the thunder of God. The trees and the wind began to sing “Angel by the Wings” by Sia. Grayson felt himself move faster and faster with every lyric they sang. He ran toward the edge of the mountain and he leaped into the air. The twister pulled him inside of it. Grayson closed his eyes and puffed his chest out as the twister sucked him in.
Inside, it spun him around and around. His body started to absorb the twister. All of the wind flowed inside of him. Soon, there was nothing but him floating above the ground with a smile on his face. He floated in the air like some sort of angelic being. Braylon stood and watched as his big brother finally defeated the storm in their lives.
FIFTY YEARS LATER (HERE AND THERE) …
Life had been good to Aiden. He had lived a long and happy life. He eventually found love again with a nice guy. As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, the months became years. Every single day, he thought of Grayson. He appreciated the walks outdoors where he could feel Grayson through the breeze. The night of his seventy-fifth birthday, he was showered with love and partied with friends and family. That night, he lay in his bed and thought about the first time he met Grayson on the airplane. He could still hear the conversation they shared about turbulence. He smiled to himself. That night, he closed his eyes to sleep, and he never woke up again.
Aiden walked through the wet grass. The sky was blue, and the clouds were the whitest he had ever seen. The air smelled clean, and the wind felt like a gentle caress of a lover from the past. He knew he was somewhere special. A place that only he knew.
“Son,” his father’s voice echoed.
Aiden froze, and he slowly turned around. Both his parents stood in front of the trees and tall grass. They hadn’t aged a bit. They still looked like they did all those years ago. He could feel their love for him.
“Mom. Dad.” His voice cracked.
“My sweet baby boy,” his mother reassured.
He ran to them. They all embraced. He was with them once again. It all felt so warm, but something was missing. There was something else he needed. His heart couldn’t beat without it. He thought his parents was what he wanted in eternity, but it was just a small fraction of it. Something else owned the rest of his heart.
“Through the grass,” his mother spoke. She knew who and what her only child needed.
He nodded his head. They released him, and he moved through the grass, and the trees broke. Instantly, he knew the place. It was his Malibu. It was the place where he first knew that Grayson was just as into him. It was the place he knew forever would be perfect with his Storm.
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
Aiden looked to his left, and there he was. The missing piece of his puzzle and his life was there. He smiled at Grayson. The man hadn’t aged in fifty years. Aiden himself had reverted back to his younger appearance. He felt his heart beat faster and the air fill his lungs.
“Storm, you waited for me?” He asked almost in shock.
“I waited my whole life to be loved the way you loved me. I wasn’t going to spend eternity without you.”
Aiden breathed, “You’re the blue to my sky. I’ve missed you. I thought about you every day of my life.”
“And I watched you every day. I touched you through time and space. Now you’re here, and I promise I’ll never let you go.”
Grayson held his hand out. Aiden took it, and they jumped into the water hole. They slowly sank into the water. They reached the perfect spot where the sun and the water wrapped around them and gave them a glow among angels. Their eyes met. Those blue eyes no longer held rain, but clear blue skies. Those grey eyes no longer contained a storm. They now showed sunshine and joy.
The pull between them was a million times stronger and deeper. They inched together, and their lips met. They kissed with all the passion in the world. They floated up and out of the water. Their spirits hovered above the ground and under the calm skies. Braylon and Aiden’s parents watched as the two vowed to love each other for all eternity under the blue skies!
I used to be afraid of tomorrow. I used to think I wasn’t worthy or incapable of love. I’ve since learned that I am the peace, the calm, the storm, and the in between. I am stronger and more resilient because of my past, but I am not defined by it. I am unfinished and constantly a work in progress. I am Grayson Rose, the thunder in the storm and the still in the quietness. I am just getting started under these bluest of skies!
THE END
