Once Upon a Time

Chapter 7

May 8, 2023

I felt so safe wrapped in Tony’s arms after my dreams, I am so thankful he has been at my side through all of this. I lay there at his side, thinking back to that day in college that we first met. I was in the library studying for midterm exams, he walked in, and I immediately noticed how good looking he was. I watched as he scanned the room and walked toward the table I was sitting at.

He stood across the table from me and asked, “do you mind if I sit here?”

I smiled, “no, please do.”

He smiled back as he sat down. He had those classic Italian looks, dark hair and eyes, smooth olive colored skin, and cleft in the center of his square chin. I kept stealing glances at him as I tried to study, I looked around the room and noticed there were several empty tables he could have chosen. Maybe he found me attractive too, I could only hope. I became more convinced when I saw him stealing glances at me too. I knew I wasn’t going to get much more studying done tonight, my mind was suddenly preoccupied.

About an hour later I worked up the courage to ask; “studying for midterms?”

He smiled, God his smile could melt an iceberg, he nodded, “yeah, you too?”

I smiled back, “Yep, required history class.” I held up my textbook as proof.

He held up his English Lit book, “I’ll trade you.”

I chuckled, “no thanks, had that last semester.”

We chatted for a few more minutes, Tony said, “I’m not going to get an A in this class anyway, how about we go grab a cup of coffee.”

I could hardly contain my excitement, I took a deep breath, “sure, I could use a cup of coffee.”

We spent the next two hours telling each other our life stories and made a date for Saturday night. We have been together ever since. I still have never met anyone else that I would want to spend the rest of my life with. I had dozed for a few minutes, when I woke, Tony was dozing too.

He opened his eyes as I was smiling up at him, he asked, “are you feeling better?”

I smiled, “yeah, this last dream wasn’t quite as bad as some of the others.”

He paused, “did you still die?”

I nodded, “yeah, I did, but it was a car accident, I wasn’t shot, hung, or beaten to death. I guess it just doesn’t seem as bad.”

He kissed my cheek, “I hate that you are going through this.”

I kissed him back, “thank you for going through it with me,”

I reached up and kissed his lips, I suddenly wasn’t tired any more, it just seemed like this was over. I can’t explain it, but I didn’t think I was going to have any more dreams. Tony kissed me back, it had been a while since we had been together, we had been so busy with the doctors that we had neglected our love life.

I started pulling his shirt off, I ran my hands across that smooth chest, I bent down and kissed both pert nipples, Tony always liked that. He ran his hands through my hair and small moans escaped his lips. I worked my way down his chest, then his stomach. I unbuttoned his jeans and peeled them down. My kisses had the desired effect, I saw the bulge in his black boxer-briefs and the small wet spot that had formed from his leaking cock. I grabbed the waistband as he lifted his hips and his beautiful cock popped out. I ran my tongue across the head, getting every drop of precum, savoring the flavor as I swallowed it down. I wrapped my lips around the shaft and took it as deep as I could, kneading his balls the entire time. He kept his hands on my head as I worked up and down, his breath becoming heavy.

He pulled me up for a kiss, “oh God, Liam, that feels incredible.”

We kissed and then Tony got to his knees and stripped me naked. He kissed his way down my chest and stomach, just as I had done to him and took my aching dick down his throat. Tony was my first, and until those dreams, my only sexual partner, so I had nothing to compare it to, but he was an amazing cock sucker. I only hoped I gave him half the pleasure that he had given me over the last few years. I moved around so that I could taste his cock again, I licked up and down his shaft and sucked his nuts into my mouth. He did the same, I always loved it when he sucked my balls, he would get them both in his mouth and just sort of roll them around. I felt a little extra precum drip out of my cock, Tony quickly licked it up. Tony ran his finger along my ass crack, I quickly spread my legs, giving him access to anything that he wanted. He took the hint and was soon rubbing my hole, he pulled me closer and replaced his finger with his tongue. His tongue was just as skilled in my ass as it was on my cock. I rolled onto my back and pulled my legs up, Tony knew what that meant, he really went to work on my hole, sending my eyes rolling to the back of my head. We had been together long enough to know how to push each other’s buttons.

Once he had me good and wet, he came up between my legs and we started to kiss again. I felt his cock rubbing along the crack of my ass. I reached down and spread my cheeks with one hand and guided his rock-hard dick with the other until it was at my entrance. He smiled through our kiss and leaned in until his nuts were resting on my ass cheeks. We both took a deep breath, and he began to pump in and out, sending volts of pleasure throughout my entire body. I wrapped my arms around him as we continued to kiss, I just enjoyed the ride. Tony broke our kiss and began to pant, I knew from the look in his eyes that he was getting close. He let out a load groan and I felt his hot load coat my insides. Once he finished convulsing, he came back in for another deep kiss.

He let his cock fall from my hole, pushed my legs down, and moved up to straddle my waist. He smiled down at me as he guided my aching cock to his hole. He lubed his hole and my dick and sat back until I was buried to the hilt. Tony began to bounce up and down, his tight hole stroking my dick. I had my hands on his waist as his cock had come back to life and was slapping my stomach with each bounce. It was so sexy watching it flopping around like that, I loved it when Tony took control. He was smiling down at me as he continued to ride me like a cowboy. I felt like I was getting close, I tightened my grip on his hips and held him down as I pumped the biggest load that I had shot for some time into his tight hole. Just as I finished shooting my wad, I looked at Tony’s cock dribbling out another small load all over my heaving stomach. We kissed again and he rolled over beside me, we wrapped our arms around each other. Tony was running his hands across my chest as we lay there in peaceful silence.

We cleaned up and crawled under the covers and drifted off to sleep for the night. It was the most complete night’s sleep that I had since this whole headache thing had started. I don’t think I moved for the entire night.

I woke the next morning, I reached for Tony, but he wasn’t there. I heard the shower running in the bathroom, I was a little bit disappointed that Tony hadn’t woken me so we could shower together. I lay there for a few more minutes, thinking about the last few weeks, all the doctor’s appointments, the headaches, the dreams. Tony had been there for me through it all, I guess I could forgive him for not waiting for me to shower.

I smiled as I heard the shower stop and Tony walked back into the bedroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. He sat on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath, then leaned forward, putting his face in his hands. He started to sob into his hands, shaking and I thought I heard him say, “damn it Liam, why you, why?”

I sat up, “why what Tony, what did I do. I’m sorry, whatever it was.” I was very confused.

He stood up and walked to his dresser and started to dress, he looked so tired and so broken-hearted. I tried to talk to him, but he just ignored me. I was now crying as I watched him finish getting dressed. He was putting on the new suit that we bought for him to wear for our wedding next month, he also put the box that contained our rings in his pocket.  Why was he wearing that suit today, what was he doing with our rings? I followed him out of the bedroom, he hugged my mom and dad, and then his, they had been waiting for him in the living room, my brothers and his sister were also there.

His dad asked, “are you ready son?”

He sighed, “I guess, as ready as I will ever be.”

I tried talk to him again, to ask what was going on, I screamed, “mom, dad, what is happening?”

The next thing I knew, we were walking into a large room, and a few minutes later, people started joining Tony and our families in the room. They were all hugging him and my folks, everyone seemed to be crying, Jesus Christ, someone please tell me what is going here.

I saw the door open, and a group of my students came walking in, they talked to Tony, just as everyone else had done. They were all sobbing too, even all the boys that acted so tough in class. I tried to talk to them as well, everybody was just ignoring me.

I was walking around the room trying to get someone to talk to me, I walked past a mirror and saw my reflection. I was wearing the suit that I was going to wear to our wedding too, was this just a surprise wedding that Tony planned for me? This just wasn’t making any sense.

I walked toward Tony, I needed to know what he was up to, just before I got to him, I saw Josh walk in and wrap him in a big hug.

Josh was our good friend from college, we hadn’t seen him in about a year. Thank God he was here, he could tell me what was going on.

I heard him talk to Tony, “I am so sorry, what happened?” He had tears running down his face.

Tony wiped his own tear away, “last week, Liam had a bad headache, so he made an appointment at the doctor, well, it was scheduled for today actually. On Monday while he was in school, he had just dismissed his 10th grade Algebra class, he had his free period next. He always let his students come in if they needed extra help. Well, Amanda, that sweet girl right over there came in for help. She found him slumped over on his desk, she ran to the office, and they called 911. It was too late, the paramedics said he was already gone.”

I looked over at Amanda, she was sitting with her friends, she was inconsolable, she just sobbed. I said in her direction, it wasn’t your fault Amanda, but it’s ok, look I’m here.

Josh again hugged Tony, “I am so sorry, I just can’t believe this.”

Tony took a breath, “I know, it doesn’t seem real to me either, I just keep expecting him to walk in the door at any time.”

Holy fuck, did Tony just say that I was dead, wait, I am right here Tony, I did walk in that door. Shit why can’t you see me, I am right here. I screamed at the top of my lungs, look everyone, I am here, I am not dead, please why can’t you see me. No one even looked in my direction, this can’t be happening. Shit, I died before the first dream, I never even went to the doctor.

A man came into the room and told everyone that we would be starting soon, and to please take their seats. They all moved from the back of the room to the chairs that were set up in neat rows. The man walked over to Tony and our parents, “I’m sorry, it’s time to begin the service.”

I ran over to them, to try to get them to see me, I had to stop this. Tony and our parents walked to the back of the room, that’s when I saw the casket. I walked back with them, and saw who was in the casket, fuck, it was me. Damn it, this can’t be real.

Then it suddenly hit me, this is another one of those damn dreams, thank God, any minute now I would see that bright light and wake up in Tony’s arms. My dreams had never gone this far before though, they had always ended just as I died.

I began to sob like a baby when my mom and dad each leaned down and kissed my cheek as I lay there. They both cried as they held each other tight. Tony’s parents were holding him as well, he kissed his mom’s cheek as he turned to the casket. The tears were streaming down his cheeks as he leaned in a gave me a kiss and put the ring that we chose for our wedding on my finger, he was also wearing his. I just knew that would cause me to wake up.

Tony turned back to his parents and mine, they all shared another hug. Tony turned to the man and nodded. They started to walk to the chairs with the rest of the group.

The man turned to the casket and shut the lid. I saw the flash of bright light, then nothing.

 

The End.
