I really think that Hudson just did not want to be alone that night, and truth be told, I kinda didn’t either. However, what I wanted/maybe needed was more than just an emotional presence. Hudson and I have never been the guys that “hugged it out”. Hudson announced, “I’m going to shower”. I was setting at my desk on my computer, looking at homework. Fuck I did not want to do this we have been working on “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. It was not that I did not like literature and reading, what I did not like was the “self journey” we were supposed to go on. Santiago got to journey and discover himself, he met mentors, fell in love, and found out that the universe was conspiring to help him. I’m pretty sure that was not happening for me. Now I do believe that there is an interconnectedness of all things, but I really was not feeling having to write about my dreams. As I set there staring blankly at my screen, I realized that Hudson had left the door open as the steam from his shower filled my, well now, our room. I had to put those thoughts out of my head; lord this was going to be the death of me. As a teenage boy, a gentle breeze and my dick would be at attention. So, I decided to distract myself and start gaming, I loaded up Valorant. I was sure that a first-person shooter game was just what I needed. I set off with 4 others; it was going well my team was well on my way to winning the 13 needed rounds to win. I was only half listening to the game, I could not take my mind off my best friend, naked, in my shower. My straight, best friend! As I played, I thought man he’s in there a long time, thinking he was just unwinding, I did not think anything of it. Then I heard the tell-tale sounds, fuck, was he, holy hell…Hudson was jacking off. He definitely had my attention now. Why was the universe doing this to me? I could definitely hear a loud sigh, which probably indicated he just pained the wall. Man what I would not give for that to have been on or in me. Wait, stop, I cannot think like that. But looking down at my own lap, it was clear that my dick certainly thought about that. I heard the shower turn off. A minute later out walks Hudson, sans towel, naked as the ever. Fortunately, I did not have to turn around there was a perfectly placed mirror. Thanks for the decorating mom. I had a perfect view of him and his freshly orgasmed, flaccid cock. He walked to his bag on the bed, turned around, and now I could see his perfectly chiseled ass and back. He bent slightly, and I thought what he would taste like, feel like. My cock was now aching for relief. He pulled out just a pair of gym shorts and slid them on. Then turned. Oh fuck, did he catch me looking. He blushed a little but made no comment. He came over and said, “you still play that game?” I said yeah, we are just about to diffuse this and with the round and be done. And just like that the game was over. He said, “I’m going to check on Jimmy and make him get ready for bed”. I said, “ok, I am going to shower”. Thankfully he left the room, and I was able to walk my tented shorts to the bathroom. I stripped down and looked at myself in the mirror. Man, not to sound conceded but, “I’d date me”. Haha. Anyhow, I was 6’4, solid muscle, dark hair, with green eyes, and a light skin tone so the treasure trail of hair below my belly button showed off my cut V torso. Of course, I decided to do a few poses in the mirror, I know, I know, vain and silly. As my biceps and chest flexed so did my cock, reminding me it needed released before bed or we might have a geyser like Old Faithful tonight. I opened the shower door, and turned the water on, thankful for on demand water heaters, I stepped under the rain shower head. The water caressed my body and felt good. My muscles were a bit sore after the first workout in a week. I decided I wanted to prolong this just a little, I was ready to fire off, but I wanted a bit of self-foreplay. It was not secret to me that my nipples were sensitive, and I loved playing with the rim of my ass. So, I traced a finger around my hole, not penetrating, just a light touch. This sent a wave of pleasure through me. It was like a jolt of electricity, my cock responded by oozing precum. This was not going to work; I had to release. With my other hand I gripped my cock. Slowly I stroked myself, while playing back there. I was about to blast off when I thought I heard a rustling. I could not see anything through the steam, and I was at the point of no return. I bit my lower lip and fired off volley after volley; my orgasm wracked my body. As the aftershocks hit me, I heard Hudson say, “you about done in there, we can play Madden”. I replied, shakily, “sure, I’ll be right out”. He must have heard the tremor in my voice, because he came to the door, and said, “dude, are you ok, I know you’ve been though a lot this week”? Was he consoling me? He is the one who just had his world turned upside down. I responded, “yeah I’m good”. I turned off the water and stepped out and grabbed a towel. He just stood there, looking at me. I then turned to him, and said, “are you ok”? Clearly, he was not, I could see tears in his eyes, and this was a rarity, this kid was normally stoic. I wrapped my towel around my waist and walked to him. I asked again, “Hud, are you ok?” Then it happened, he just fell into my arms, tears flowed and he said, “what if she’s dead”? Oh god, I had not thought about that. Then he said, “where will we go, I don’t turn 18 for 2 months, they might put us in foster care”. I just said, “I got you, everything will be fine”. We stayed like that for a few minutes, no words. This was something we never did, but somehow it was exactly what he needed, honestly, maybe I did too. A few sniffles later, he gathered himself and said, “ok not about that Madden ass kicking”. I just chuckled, in a whirl of emotions and thoughts, and said, “sure I’ll kick your ass”. In my head I was thinking what a jerk I was, I was more worried about my dick than I was thinking of him. Man, I needed to get my head on straight. Ha straight…. An hour and a half later, after I had destroyed him several times. We decided it was time for bed, I realized I was still in my towel. I got up, dropped the towel, Hudson whistled and cat called me. I was confident enough to give him an ass shake. He said, “shaking it that much are you offering”? Oh, if he only knew. This was typical banter between us. I just said, “you’d be lucky to get a piece like this”. He scoffed, and said, “A (his nickname for me) have you seen Tara”? I chuckled, and replied, “yeah and she’s great until she opens her mouth”. He smiled and said, “oh she’s fine she’s just a bit full of herself but aren’t we all”. He had a point; I had just posed in front of the mirror myself. Maybe I was just jealous of her more than anything. I chuckled and agreed, and acknowledged he was right. I slid on some boxer briefs, knowing I probably needed some support for what would likely be a burgeoning morning wood. We crawled in bed, thankful my parents decided I needed a king size bed. I am used to sleeping on my side snuggled up with a pillow anyhow, so I turned toward the fan, wrapped up my pillow and relaxed. I heard Hudson shift, and quietly he said, “A thank you for everything, and good night”. I just said, “Hud, you are welcome, and good night”. I was worn out and it took about 2 minutes and I was off to dream land. Maybe, I will go on my vision quest like Santiago does in “The Alchemist”. In what seemed like about 5 minutes my alarm was blaring. I groggily shook awake and hit the button to snooze it. I felt Hudson shift in bed and remembered he was there. He sleepily said, “mornin sunshine”. Damn why was he perky. I said, “mmmhmmm”. I threw the covers off, and stood, I picked up my phone, and heard him laugh. I absent mindedly said, “what’s so funny”? He said, “are you happy to see me or do you wake up like that everyday”? Oh’ shit that. Ummmm, I replied, “dude it’s natural, and I have to piss”. I made my way to the bathroom, willing it to go down. No chance, so I opened the shower door and just go in and turned on the water. Hudson entered the bathroom and I could see his sizable tent, and I said, mockingly, “oh are you just happy to see me”. To which he shucked his shorts and opened the shower door, and said “move over”. What was he doing, this, this could not happen. Yes, we showered together in the locker room but this was to much. I immediately began to plump again. He faced away from me, and I could tell he had the same problem I did and needed to use the shower to relieve himself. So, I put any thoughts out of my head, and decided it best to get on with my shower. I did, and thankfully he used to second shower head in the walk in shower and went about his business. I finished and stepped out; he was not far behind. I jokingly asked, “enjoy the show”? He just chuckled, and said, “dude I’m sorry I had to piss and it would not go down, that was the only way”. My lips curled up and I said, “Oh I understand”. Boy did I ever. We brushed our teeth and dressed and I turned to go downstairs. He turned and headed for Jimmy’s room. Just as he hit the door, Jimmy was coming out, dressed, backpack in hand and ready to go. This took Hudson by surprise and he said, “I’m surprised you are up”. Jimmy replied, “I’ve been up since 5, I heard Austin’s dad get up so I went with him to do chores”. Hudson, was really confused now. He just said, “oh ok”. We all three made it downstairs there were my parents setting at the counter having breakfast, I walked over and kissed my mom good morning and said morning dad. Hudson said “good morning Mike and Alice, and thank you again for all of this”, and Jimmy said good morning again, to which my dad beamed, and said “mornin again Jimmy, thank you again for your help”. And Jimmy smiled and said, “you are welcome, make sure you wake me tomorrow”. Hudson looked at me and just smiled. We ate quickly and heard the truck coming down the drive. In flew Cole, and right into the kitchen, we all said mornin, and mom said, “Cole, help yourself, there is plenty”. To which he did, no one said it but likely he did not have much at him. I reminded myself to ask him later if he needed groceries. Since we were all 4 riding together, we took my Jeep.
We headed to the garage and piled in the Jeep, Jimmy being smart yelled, “shotgun” before we hit the door and I busted out laughing. I said, “it’s all yours buddy”. Cole and Hudson grumbled but didn’t put up a fight. We headed in to town and go to the school. We dropped Jimmy off, Hudson said, “have a good day, love ya buddy”, and he responded, “same and love you too”, I see mom in the background watching closely. He headed into school, and Hudson quietly said to us, we say that every morning to each other, because most mornings it just us getting ready. I could hear a twinge of concern in his voice. I just said, “I think it’s great, you guys are close”. I also knew it went much deeper. Cole seemed a bit concerned and I just looked in the mirror at him and winked. He just put his hand on Hudson’s shoulder and said, “he’ll be fine and I’ll be down in the middle school 3rd hour helping, I’ll pop in.” I just said, “I seen mom looking on, and it seems like he and my dad hit it off this morning”. Hudson, said, “Jimmy has always bugged us to get a pet, he loves animals, so I am sure he was in heaven doing chores”.
We headed around to the High School parking lot, and pulled in. I got out, Cole and Hudson were still in the car, they looked at me and said, “well are you going to open our doors chauffer, geez?” I said, “get out of the car assholes”. Cole said, “one star Uber driver, rude, listens to shitty music, and his car smells like a locker room”. I just glared at him then chuckled. We headed our separate ways having different first block classes. The day goes smoothly; I am back into schoolwork. At lunch we meet up and set together, Cole and I on one side with a couple other guys and their girlfriends, and Hudson and Tara across from us. We are talking around the situation that happened with Hudson and Jimmy, and then Tara says, “so honey, when can I come over and spend time with you?” Hudson looks up at me and says, “well it’s kinda complicated, but we could probably go out this weekend or something”. She replies, “go out, I am not getting on the bike”. I interjected, “I am sure it would be fine if you wanted to hang out and watch a movie or order pizza together, you could use the pool house”. He grinned and said, “really”? I said, “of course you live there too”. I could see the look on his face was kind of worried too. We would talk later. We finished up lunch, he walked Tara to class, and then met up with me. He said, “man you made my day, thank you, “but I don’t have money for pizza or anything dude”. I just said, “I got you Hud”. I could tell he was tired of this, but he said, “thanks A”. I got to 4th block, and met in the locker room with Cole. We changed and went to work out, he asked if I wanted to stay after and work out more, I thought about it and replied, “well I might need to take Jimmy home, but otherwise yes”. He said, “good we need to talk”. Since the new no phone policy in schools was in effect, I had not checked my phone all day. I pulled it out of my bag there was a group text between my patents and me. Dad-“he I’m going to pick Jimmy up today, he wanted to go to the other farm with me”, Mom-“sounds great be home for dinner, I’m making chicken parm”, me-“thanks, just seeing this Cole and I are going to work out then we will all be home”. Well that settles that, I can work out longer now.
We had a great work out and Cole suggested a run after school. So, we headed out, I knew this was so we could have some alone time. While on the jog, he was quiet at first and then he said, “so about ummm you know, umm”. I said, “about us liking dick”. He spat out a laugh and said, “yeah that”. He asked how long I had known, and I responded, “since I was about 12 or 13, I’ve always known something was different”. I asked him the same, “he replied well at first I tried to convince myself I was bi, then I tried with girls and it just felt off, so I knew about last year”. I said, “tried with girls eh?” He just laughed and said, “yeah didn’t really work out, I performed and all but didn’t feel right”. I just chuckled, he said, “what about you”? I said, “what about me what”? He said, “have you been with anyone”? I was kinda embarrassed, but said, “no”. I told him, “the opportunity never presented itself”. He just said, “oh, well is there anyone you want to present themselves”? I thought, hell yes, but I am not ready to talk about that. I just said, “yeah I mean, sort of, but it’s not really a thing, since I don’t think Paul Skenes is going to present himself, I don’t need to worry about that”. He chuckled and said, “it’s the mustache isn’t it”. I punched him in the shoulder and we ran on. He said, “no seriously, there isn’t anyone, like who do you want to be your first?” I replied, “why are we talking about this”? He said, “I don’t know, I want to know your type, and clearly you like dark haired guys with mustaches”. I said, “whatever, did you want it to be hot blond QB hunks that run with me”? He slowed, and said, “dude I like you but sorry you are not my type, plus, um there is someone else”. I stopped dead in my tracks, “wait what, you have someone”? He said, “kinda, we have um hanging out and stuff”. I said, “who, at our school, how did I not know”? He said, “yeah but you have to promise not to tell”. I said, “I clearly know how to keep a secret”. We started jogging again, I could tell he was thinking. Then he said, “you know the new kid Jacob that moved here like at the semester break”? I said, “the long-haired kid that is in band and stuff”? He said, “yeah.” I said, “oh, ok, umm how”. He said, “well it was kind of odd, I was driving home one night and he was walking down the street, I pulled over and asked if he wanted a ride, it was cold. He looked at me and said, “so you can bash me or what”. I looked at him and said, “what”? He said, “you know pick up the new kid and drive him out to fuck knows where and beat him up”. I said, “no dude it’s cold I thought you might like a ride”. He looked at me, and then at the road and his guitar case and said, “are you sure”. I said, “get in”. I took him home, which I found out is two houses away from me. So, we bonded over living close, then having somewhat shitty parents. I found out he has a band and I sometimes go listen to them while they practice, and we hang out and talk and stuff. I said, “so you are hanging out, but is there more”? He said, “we have not done anything, but he did tell me he’s gay”. I asked, “how did you respond”? and Cole said, “at first I said, thank you for telling me”. I laughed and said, “you didn’t”. He said, “yeah, then a couple days later, I said, I think I’m bi or something”. I asked him how Jacob took that. Cole replied that he had said, he figured. Then went on to say, “it’s kind of nice we can hang out and I can be me.” He then said, “when I am around him, I kinda want to hug him, hold him and sometimes just bone the hell out of him, which we haven’t by the way”. I just laughed. We continued our run and talked about stuff, then I asked, “hey ummm do we need to go to the store or anything”? He looked at me and said, “ummm I can’t ask you to do that dude, so no”. I said, “ok so do you want to go on the way home or what”? He just laughed. We got back and showered, while showering, I admit I did check him out some, and he caught me, then he just shook his junk at me and said, “you can window shop Tucker but no touchy touchy”. I just laughed, and said, “fuck off Simms”. We finished just as the baseball team was getting in. We toweled off and dressed, Hudson and some of the others were coming out of the shower, I yelled, “meet you at the Jeep”. Cole and I headed out, it was getting cool still being spring in the Midwest. We got to the car and I said, “we need to run by the store if anyone needs anything”. We got to Hy-Vee and I grabbed a cart, we went through and both helped load up the cart, without saying anything. Hudson grabbed stuff he knew he and Jimmy liked and Cole got stuff for himself. We go to the checkout and ran everything through, I swiped my card and we loaded it up in the car. We were savvy enough to keep stuff separate. We got back to the farm and pulled up, Cole grabbed his stuff and loaded it into his truck, and Hudson, started carrying stuff in the house. I walked over to Cole’s truck to say see ya and drive safe. He hugged me and said, “dude, seriously, thank you”. I said, “you are welcome, you better get going maybe Jacob will be walking”. He hugged me tighter, and said, “he already texted, I’m picking him up”. I just laughed. Off he went, and I turned and headed into the house. I was greeted at the door with the cutest dog in the world. I stopped and he was all over me. I just looked at mom and said, “ummm when did we get a dog”, she said, “ask your dad and Jimmy”. Dad piped up and said, “well we were at the feed store and Sam had one pup left from his last litter and well he was there at the store with him and Jimmy just had to have him, so meet Ace, he’s half Australian Sheppard, half Border Collie and full pterodactyl.” He promptly started barking in agreement. Jimmy called him and he immediately ran and set next to him. Jimmy pet him and he just calmly set there. Hudson had a worried look on his face, like what the hell are we in for. My dad just said, “don’t worry they have bonded all day, and Sam has trained him for the last 6 months, and he is going to work with Jimmy on all the commands”. Hudson’s worry didn’t subside, and mom said and “don’t worry I ordered food and everything for him.” Jimmy added, “I will take care of him, and he can sleep with me”. Hudson said, “well that will be up to Mr. and Mrs. Tucker. Mom said, “that will be fine, but please call us Mike and Alice”, Hudson said,” yes ma’am, then uhhh Alice”. Mom just laughed and said, “dinner is ready”.
We all ate and shared some about our day. Then I brought up that, Hudson would like to use the pool house this weekend for a date if that was ok. Mom of course said, “that is fine, let me know what I need to get, and there are rules, the blinds stay open, you’ll have to take her home before 11, and no funny business”. Hudson, blushed at the last one, and Jimmy busted out laughing and said, “yeah Hudson no funny business”. To which Hudson blushed even more. We finished dinner, Hudson and I cleaned the kitchen and did dishes, Jimmy took Loki on a walk, Dad tagged along, I think he wanted the puppy as much as Jimmy. Everyone, settled back in and Jimmy headed to his room with Loki right on his heels. Mom and dad were in the den watching TV. I headed up to my room to do some homework, and Hudson followed. We finished up working and he said, “do you mind if I keep sleeping in here”? I said, “sure it’s all good”. I was beat, and brushed my teeth and crawled in bed, soon Hudson followed. He laid there and I could tell something was on his mind. I just rolled on my side, and said “out with it what’s on your mind”? He said, “oh nothing”. I said, “clearly there is something”. He said, uncomfortably, “I don’t know how to say this but, Tara said something about Cole today”. I said, “ok what”. He said, “well some of her friends are saying that Cole has been hanging out with the new kid Jacob”. She used a derogatory word to describe him, and it made me mad”. I said, “what word” and he said, “you know, f****t”, and hearing that word stung. He could tell I did not like that word, and he said, “her word not mine”. I said, “that is not a word I like or will tolerate, you know my Uncle Rick is gay and my parents don’t like that word either”. He said, “I looked at her and said, do better, Cole is my friend and Jacob seems like a good guy, so what, and then I told her to do better that word was awful”. She then apologized and said she would not say that again. He then said, “is it weird that I’m sleeping in here, like are people going to think I’m gay”? I noticed he didn’t say people would think I was gay, because, oh no, not the big bad stud jock”. I just said, “Hudson, for one, who is going to know where you sleep, and two if they do, tell them they are just jealous because they don’t get to sleep with me”. He just laughed, and said, “whatever”. But then I took a serious note and said, “look dude if people want to talk about you, Cole, Jacob, or me for that matter, fuck em, they don’t know us. I know this is a small town but dude the world is bigger than North Missouri. He agreed and then said, “I am sorry about that word”, it was like he was saying it to me. I just said, “all good Hud”. I rolled over, clutched my pillow, and tried to sleep. But all night I kept thinking, should I tell Cole, would he stop hanging out with Jacob, did people think I was gay, did Hudson think I was gay. I laid there just thinking, I heard Hudsons breathing change and a light snore came from him. Somehow this comforted me and I drifted to sleep.
