Once Upon a Time

Chapter 2

December 7, 1941

After helping Amanda with her problems, I was pleased that she finally understood them. I finished my day and headed home. I was still shaken from my dream, I lay on the couch and took a short nap. Tony would be getting home soon, I woke when he came in the door.

He smiled, “hey babe, how was your day?” He gave me a kiss.

I sat up rubbing my head, “ok I guess.”

He looked at me with concern, “Liam, what’s the matter?” He could always tell when I was upset.

I said, “I had another headache today.”

He sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulder, “I’m sorry, should we call the doctor and try to move up your appointment?”

I shrugged, “I guess we could try, but this one was different.”

He looked at me, “what do you mean, was it more painful?”

I shook my head, “no, I don’t think so, but I had a dream, or a vision. I’m not sure what you would call it.”

I explained to him about the dream. I said, “It was so real, I mean I felt like I lived this guy’s life. I knew everything about his childhood, his family, everything. But it was me, it was body, my voice, I felt everything.”

Tony hugged me and said, “wow, we will have to be sure to tell the doctor about it when se see him. Why don’t you rest here, I’ll go make dinner and come get you when it’s ready.” He leaned in and gave me a kiss.

“Thanks Tony, I appreciate that.” I told him. He went to the kitchen, and I lay back on the couch. I dozed off and Tony came in to wake me.

“Hey babe, dinner is ready, you ok to eat?” He asked.

I smiled, “I think so, thank you so much, I love you for taking care of me.”

He kissed me, “I love you too, that’s why I take care of you.”

We ate and I helped him clean up, after a couple hours of talking and some tv we went to bed. I felt so secure in his arms, I did love him.

I wasn’t able to move up my appointment, but it had been a couple days since I had a headache. I got home and made some soup for dinner, I got it all put together and had it in the crock pot, it would be ready when Tony got home in a couple hours. I sat at the kitchen table and started to grade some papers. I felt the pain start once again. I took some aspirin and sat back down, I saw that bright flash of light again.

We had just finished breakfast in the mess hall, Rob and I were walking back to the ship. It was a bright sunny day, so we were taking our time. We sat on our bunks, I asked, “so, are you ok with what we did last night?”

Before he could answer, all hell broke loose.

I grew up in a small town in Vermont, I was the middle son of a hard-working factory worker and his wife. I had an older and younger brother, we were all about two years apart in age. I kind of always felt sorry for my mother, having three boys so close in age and we weren’t really shy about getting into trouble. It was nothing bad or illegal, but we had our share of fun. We were always dirty or bringing home some stray pet, she always smiled and said, “ask your father”. We knew that as soon as dad came home, we would have to find a new home for the pet or clean up our mess. She was constantly saying, “boys will be boys”, and we lived up to her expectations. Living through the depression, we never had a lot, but dad made sure we were fed and clothed. We usually made our own fun, playing the woods behind our house with the other neighborhood kids. We were very close to each other and although we didn’t have much, we did have a good childhood. My oldest brother was the first in our family to graduate from high school, my parents were so proud. My dad had served in World War 1 in the army, so Bill, my brother, enlisted as soon as he was able. Mom was worried, but dad was busting his buttons with pride as Bill left for basic training.

I worked hard in school and was getting ready to graduate, once again my parents were beaming with pride as their second child had gotten an education. Jobs were still scarce in our area, even though President Roosevelt was telling us things were going great and the county would soon all be back to work. I enlisted in the navy, I knew I could never afford to go to college, and I wanted to serve, just as my dad and brother had. By the fall of 1940 I was headed to basic training across the country to California.

I met Rob Wilson on the first day and we soon were good friends. Rob grew up on a farm in Iowa, his family was suffering from the “dirty thirties”. All across the Midwest many farms were lost due to droughts and the depression. Like me Rob couldn’t go to college, but he wanted to farm with his dad, but decided a stint in the navy would allow him to save up some money to buy a farm when he went home. Are moms were always writing to us and telling us how worried they were about Hitler and what he was doing over in Europe. I would write back and tell mom, that Roosevelt was doing everything he could to keep the US out of the war and we would be fine, she didn’t seem to be comforted by this.

Rob and I were so happy at the end of our basic training, we both got our orders to go to the naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

I ran to Rob, “I got Pearl Harbor, how about you?”

He gave me a big smile, “me too!”

I said, “this will be great, no New England winter for me.”

He laughed, “yeah, Iowa winters are no fun either.”

We finished basic training and each headed home for a week long leave.

Mom again was worried, she said “Hitler is working his way across Europe and even the Japanese were getting involved.”

I said, “mom, don’t worry so much, the president keeps assuring us he will do everything he can to keep us out of the war. I will be stationed close to the United States, I wasn’t even going anywhere close to Europe or Asia.”

Again, this did nothing to ease her fears. Dad just told me to be careful, rely on my training and follow orders.

When my week was over, I went to San Diego and boarded the USS Arizona and set sail to Pearl Harbor. Rob and I were happy that we were able to share a birth, he took the top bunk and I the bottom. We took our mission seriously, we were the last line of defense in case of an attack on the west coast of the US.

We got to the first of December 1941 and were told that we would not be allowed to go home for Christmas. It was really no surprise to any of us, but mom was disappointed of course. Our commanding officer told us that we would be getting the next weekend off. The whole crew was making plans to go into town and get drunk and if they had a chance to find a girl, they were all hoping to get laid. I noticed Rob was quiet and didn’t join in when everyone else was talking about their plans.

I said, “hey Rob, aren’t you going to town Saturday night?”

He shook his head, “no, I think I’ll stay back on the ship and get caught up writing letters back home.”

I shrugged, “come on, a trip to town sounds fun, doesn’t it?”

He nodded, “yeah, I guess so, but I just sent my last paycheck home to my folks, they needed more than I need to get drunk.”

I smiled, “I can loan you a few bucks if you want.”

He smiled back, “thanks Liam, but I’ll be fine here. You go ahead and have fun with the rest of the crew.”

I said, “you know what? I need to catch up writing my folks and brothers too, I’ll stay back with you.”

He smiled, “you don’t have to do that.”

I patted his back, “how about we go to the PX and get some beer and we can drink it right here while we write home.”

He said, “that sounds great, thanks.”

The rest of the crew all got ready and headed off to town. Rob and I held back until they were all gone and walked to get our beer. There were only a few guys left on the ship, the unlucky ones that got guard duty or that had to monitor radios and that sort of thing were left at their stations.

We got back to the ship, I set the beer down and flopped back onto my bunk. I handed Rob a bottle, he shook his head, “I think I’ll take a quick shower first.”

I stood up, “that does sound like a good idea.”

We stripped and headed to the shower room. I had seen Rob naked in the shower many times before, but this time it seemed a little different. As he stepped under the water and started to soap himself up, I noticed his hard muscled body. Rob had bright red hair, emerald green eyes and a pale smooth chest that was hard and muscular from 19 years of physical farm labor, I wasn't sure why I was just noticing this now. I stepped under my shower, sneaking glances at him every chance I had, I felt my dick start to stir. What the hell was going on, I had been friends with Rob for over a year, why was I thinking about this now? I turned away to hide my slightly swollen dick and to try to think about anything else so I wouldn’t get any harder. I rinsed the shampoo from my hair and could no longer resist, I had to have another look at Rob’s dick, it was about 4 inches soft, and two large nuts nestled in a bright orange bush. He was turned away from me, his ass was very pleasant to look at too, so round and so plump, Jesus, I needed to think of something else. Before I could look away, he turned and I saw his dick was as hard as mine, standing straight out of that ginger bush.

I quickly turned away, I felt him walk toward me, Jesus, what the hell was happening, was he turned on too? I sensed him right behind me, he put his hands on my shoulders and asked, “can I help you wash your back?”

My mouth was suddenly dry, I croaked out, “sure.”

He moved his hands across my back, the soap in his hands leaving a trail of suds. He worked his way down my back, and I felt his hands on my ass.

He whispered, “I have loved this hairy ass since the first time I saw it in basic training.”

A moan escaped my lips as I leaned back into him, he reached back up to my shoulders, and I felt his hard dick rubbing across my ass cheeks. I reached back and grabbed his hips, pulling him tight into me. Rob reached down and pushed his cock between my legs and ran it up and down the crack of my ass. Once he was nestled in my crack he reached around and started to soap up my chest.

Once again, he whispered, “your hairy chest turns me on too.”

He continued cleaning my chest and soon found his way to my aching dick, it was harder than I ever remember it being. I gasped as he ran his soap slicked hand up and down my shaft. My breath started to quicken, I had never had anyone touch my dick in my nineteen years. To be honest, I had never even thought about it, I never really had any feelings toward women, I assumed I would once I met the right girl.

I couldn’t control myself any longer, I turned around and leaned in to kiss Rob. He grabbed the back of my head and opened his mouth, pushing his tongue down my throat. I became lightheaded as his smooth chest rubbed against my hairy chest and our dicks dueled against one another. Our stomachs were soon coated with each other’s precum. Rob finally broke our kiss and looked into my eyes, “let’s go back to our bunks.”

I just nodded and we rinsed off and walked hand in hand back to our cabin. I fell back onto my bunk and without warning, Rob fell to his knees and sucked the entire length of my cock into his mouth. I thought I was going to jump out my skin as every nerve in my body was stimulated. He worked on my dick for what seemed like hours, then he went to my balls, putting one then the other, then both, in his hot mouth. He pushed my legs up in the air and then almost sent me into orbit when he licked my hole. Once he had worked his tongue into my ass and had it covered in his spit, he turned me on my bunk. I now had my head laying off the edge, Rob moved around and fed me his cock as he leaned in took my dick back into his mouth. My first taste of his heavenly precum was indescribable, I had never tasted anything so delicious. I took as much of his cock down my throat, that could fit without me gagging, savoring every second.

Once I had Rob’s cock coated with split, he flipped me over so that my knees were on the floor and my ass was sticking out. He leaned down spitting into my hole again, I was starting to love his tongue in my ass. He stood up and then aimed his dick at my hole, once he gave me a chance to adjust to the invasion, Rob was laying on top of me pushing his cock in and out while he kissed my neck. I was moaning with complete pleasure as he worked over my satisfied hole. I pushed back with every thrust and Rob rotated his hips, hitting every nerve in my ass. I had never felt such pleasure, I wanted him in my ass forever. Rob was kissing and biting my neck, nibbling on my ear between kisses, his hot breath felt so good. Suddenly he let out a loud groan and I felt him filling my guts with a huge load of hot creamy cum. He continued pumping and kissing until his cock softened and fell from my well used hole. He flipped me onto my back and lay on top of me as we kissed again, he was a great kisser, not that I really knew what a bad kisser was. He pulled back, “I am going to take care of you now.”

I wasn’t sure what he meant until he once again took my still hard dick into his mouth. He seemed to be swallowing me to the root, I felt his chin resting on my full balls as my cock was in the back of his throat. He rolled my nuts in his hand as he sucked, he used his free hand to run his fingers across my stretched out hole, finally pushing a finger inside. This pushed me over the edge, and I erupted into Rob’s mouth, filling it with my cum. He kept sucking my sensitive head until he had milked me dry and I was able to stop convulsing. He let my dick fall from his mouth and came back up for a deep kiss, giving me a good taste of my own cum.

He broke our kiss and asked, “did you like that?”

I was still trying to catch my breath, “yeah, yeah I did.”

He ran his hands across my chest, “I love all your hair, you are so manly. It feels so good against my smooth chest.”

I smiled, “I like your body too, you are more muscular than I am.”

He smiled as we moved so that he could lay beside me in my bunk, “I am glad you stayed back tonight, thank you.”

I wrapped my arms around him, “it was my pleasure, I will be happy to stay back with you anytime.”

We crawled under the covers and just held each other for the rest of the night, we didn’t even bother to drink our beer.

Rob asked, “should I get into my own bunk, what if someone comes in?”

I pulled him tighter to me, “I don’t care if we get caught, I want you close to me forever.”

He smiled at me, “me too.” We drifted off to sleep in each other’s arms.

The next morning, we woke up, no one had come into our cabin, so we were safe. We dressed go get breakfast, I asked, “so, are you ok with what we did last night.”

He smiled, “yes, I am.”

Before either of us could say anything else, we heard gunfire and explosions. We pulled our boots on and ran up on deck. Just as we made it outside, we saw the planes flying overhead and heard the bombs they were dropping explode. I turned to look at Rob just as two more bombs hit our ship, I saw Rob fly across the deck and another explosion. Then the bright light flashed across my eyes.

“Liam, are you alright?” I heard him say.

I looked around, I was sitting at our kitchen table with a pile of papers in front of me. I looked up at a very worried looking Tony.

He had his hands on my shoulders as he had shaken me. “Liam, you are scaring the hell out me, you were just sitting there like you were in a trance.”

I suddenly broke down and started to cry, “oh God Tony, I had another dream, just like last time. It ended when I died again.”

Tony wrapped his arms around me as I sobbed, he said, “it’s ok babe, your appointment is tomorrow, we’ll get to the bottom of this, I promise.”

I held him tight, “God, I hope so, I don’t know how much more of this I can take.”
