I woke up the next morning with Aaron’s arms wrapped around me and his morning wood nestled in my ass crack. I smiled to myself, thinking that I could really get used to this. Aaron kissed the back of my neck. He said, “Good morning.”

I pushed tightly against him, “Good morning.”

He asked, “Do you still want to move in with me?”

I grinned, “Of course I do. Do you still want me to move in?”

He gave me another kiss, “Hell yes.”

Aaron sighed, “I guess we should get up and get ready for work.”

I nodded, “I need to run back to my place to get some clothes. If you want, you can ride to work with me.”

He chuckled, “Sure, I think I have something you can wear until you get your clothes.”

He gave me a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and we drove to my apartment so I could put on my work clothes. We decided I would move everything this weekend. We stopped to get coffee and a donut and drove to the job site. We were able to work without letting on that our relationship had changed last night. Aaron just said that his truck was in the shop when James asked why we rode to work together.

On Friday, we were taking a break when James asked, “Do you have any big plans for the weekend, Ethan?”

Without thinking, I said, “Yeah, I’m moving this weekend.”

James said, “Really, where are you moving to?”

I felt my face turn red. Aaron came to my rescue, “He’s moving in with me. I’m trying to save for a new truck and Ethan is trying to save for a better apartment.”

James nodded, “That makes sense. You’ll even save money on gas since you can ride to work together.”

I said, “That’s what we were thinking too.”

After a few minutes, Mike said, “Aaron, I thought you only had one bedroom in your house.”

Aaron and I looked at each other, not sure what to say. I’m sure my face was as red as Aaron’s.

James laughed, “I knew it. You guys are shacked up as a couple. See Tim, I told you there was something going on between these two.”

Aaron sighed, “Is this going to be a problem?”

Mike shook his head, “No, not as long as it doesn’t affect your work. Just leave the lovey dovey stuff at home.”

I said, “That won’t be a problem.”

Of course, James had to tease us for the rest of the day, but we didn’t care. On my next break, I called my landlord and told him that I would be moving out this weekend. He reminded me that I would not get a refund for the remaining days of the month. I told him that was fine, there was only ten days left in the month anyway.

Aaron and I got up on Saturday and went to get my things. Basically, all I had to move was my clothes and the few dishes that I had. Since my apartment had been furnished, I had no furniture to move, and Aaron had everything that we needed anyway. I was all moved in by noon.

We spent the afternoon mowing the yard and doing some chores around the house. I had just moved in, but I was already enjoying having a real home to live in. After we were done with the yardwork, we went inside and Aaron pulled a couple of beers from the fridge.

He smiled, “Yardwork goes a lot quicker with two people, thanks for the help.”

I laughed and said, “You’re welcome, I enjoy mowing and it is so satisfying to look out over a freshly groomed lawn.”

Aaron smiled and gave me a quick kiss, “You are such a weirdo.”

I shrugged, “You’re the one to ask me to move in, so you have to live with this weirdo now.”

He chuckled, “I’m happy to.”

When we finished our beer, I said, “I think it’s time for a shower. Do you care to join me?”

He smiled, “Why not, it worked out pretty well the last time.”

We kissed as we let our hands wander over each other’s bodies. The soap washing away the days sweat and dirt, swirling down the drain. For some reason, we were both spending extra time washing the erect cocks that have suddenly made an appearance.

Once we were both clean, Aaron went to his knees and used his mouth to get my hard dick even more clean. I, of course, returned the favor. I stood back up and we shared another passionate kiss. I smiled, “Shall we continue this in the bedroom?”

Aaron grinned, “That sounds like a very good idea.”

I followed that cute ass down the hall; I couldn’t help but reach out and give it a gentle squeeze. Aaron grinned as he grabbed me for another kiss. He said, “I think you need a massage, lay on the bed on your stomach.”

I raised an eyebrow, “I have never had a massage before.”

His grinned widened, “Then you are in for a treat.”

I crawled onto the bed laying on my stomach and I put my arms above my head. Aaron straddled my ass, his cock resting in my crack. He began to rub my shoulders, damn, he was right, this is a treat. I sighed as I began to fully relax and Aaron’s hands went further down my back. All the stress was leaving my body as he continued to my ass cheeks. He went further down my legs, but not before he let his fingers give my pucker a little tease.

Aaron squeezed and kneaded my thighs and calves; his hands were amazing. When he finished rubbing my feet, he had me turn over onto my back. Of course, my hard cock was pointing to the heavens as I once again put my hands behind my head.

Aaron grinned as he let his hand graze my manhood. He again straddled me with our hard dicks rubbing against each other. His hands massaged my biceps for a minute and then he moved onto my chest. He paused for a moment to let his fingertips flick across my hard nipples. Every time I had sex, I was finding something more to love about it.

His hand grazed my erection again as he moved on to my legs. Once Aaron felt my legs were sufficiently massaged, he moved back to my aching cock. I let out a deep breath as Aaron stroked my manhood with one hand and fondled my nuts with the other. A finger brushing across my taint every few strokes. His finger finally found my warm hole.

I groaned as Aaron pushed inside my waiting love tunnel. I panted, “If you keep that up, I’m going to explode.”

He chuckled, “Let’s not do that just yet. Will you give me a massage now?”

I smiled, “I would love to.”

We switched places and I tried to give Aaron the same pleasure that he had given me. I rubbed my cock back and forth in his crack as I spent a little extra time on his shoulders. My cock felt so good in between his ass cheeks. Just to give him a little extra pleasure, before I moved to his legs, I spread those cheeks and used my tongue to massage his hole. He did seem to like that.

By the time I had him roll onto his back, Aaron’s pole was leaking precum by the gallon. I couldn’t resist any longer, I licked him clean. I quickly rubbed his chest and legs which caused more precum to leak out of that gorgeous cock.

I knew what I wanted next, I grabbed the bottle of lube that we had placed in the nightstand and coated Aaron’s dick and my hole. Aaron grinned as I stood above him and slowly lowered myself into position. I held his dick skyward as I impaled myself and started to bounce up and down.

It was only the second time that I had been fucked but was starting to realize how much I liked it. I felt Aaron’s love stick hit my love button, and it caused me to increase my speed. God, I was so thankful that Kirk showed me how much pleasure my prostrate could give me.

My cock was flopping up and down as I rode Aaron for all I was worth. My eyes rolled back in my head as I felt my nuts start to tighten. I was too far gone to stop now, I took Aaron as deep as I could, and my cock started to spasm. I hadn’t even touched it; I shot my load all over Aaron’s chest and face. He held my hips tighter as I felt his warm seed flooding my insides.

Once our convulsions finally subsided, I fell to Aaron’s side, trying to catch my breath. His heaving chest told me he was trying to do the same thing.

A few minutes later, Aaron panted, “Damn.”

I asked, “Is that a good damn?”

He rolled over and gave me a kiss, “Yes, that is a very good damn.”

Since we were both covered in sweat and cum, we decided another quick shower was in order. We both pulled on a pair of shorts and went to the back yard to light the grill. On our way back from moving my things, we stopped at the grocery store and picked up some burgers to grill.

After a day of moving, then yardwork and the sweaty love session, a burger and a couple of beers really hit the spot.

The next week, mom called, “Hey honey, your dad has to work on Saturday, do you want to go out for lunch with me and Danny?”

I took a breath; I hadn’t told her about Aaron yet. I said, “Sure, I would like that.” I paused and then said, “Would it be okay if I brought a friend along?”

Mom also paused, “Um… Sure. Is this friend… someone special?”

I said, “Yes mom, his name is Aaron. I just moved in with him last weekend. We have been working together and have become very close.”

She said, “I would love to meet him then.”

After I ended the call, I asked Aaron, “Would you like to meet my mom and brother?”

He looked nervous, “Do you want me to meet them?”

I nodded, “Yes, I do. I’m meeting them for lunch on Saturday, and I told mom about you, and she wants to meet you.”

He smiled, “Sure, I would love to meet them.”

After a few awkward moments, Danny broke the ice and said, “So Aaron, what are your intentions with my big brother?”

Aaron’s eyes went wide, not sure what to say. He stuttered, “Well…Um…I just like him, and…”

Danny smirked and said, “And you want to jump his bones every night.”

Mom scoffed, “Daniel, stop that right now.”

I laughed, “You’re right Danny, and I want to jump his bones every night too.”

Mom sighed, “Oh, you two.”

Danny laughed, “Relax mom, we all know what young people in love do. Tell me you and dad didn’t do the same thing.”

She rolled her eyes, “Can we just change the subject.”

Danny and I were still laughing, and Aaron was just sitting there wide eyed, still not sure what was going on.

Mom said, “So Aaron, tell me about your family.”

Aaron swallowed hard and looked at me. I was still grinning. He said, “My mom and dad split up when I was five. Dad remarried and moved out of the state; I only see him about once a year. I guess I have a half-brother and sister but haven’t seen them in a few years. It was just me and my mom until I moved out a couple of years ago. She is now living with her boyfriend.”

Mom asked a few more questions and Aaron relaxed. Danny told us that he was graduating in May and enrolling in college. He wants to be an engineer. I smiled at my little brother, I was so impressed that he had a plan for his life, unlike me. I was proud of him.

We had an enjoyable lunch and when we said goodbye, mom and Aaron even shared a hug. I was so happy things went well.

As we drove home, Aaron said, “I like your mom and your brother is…”

I laughed, “Yeah, he likes to embarrass me whenever he can, I guess I do the same to him. We have always been close.”

He smiled, “I wish my mom and I were as close as you are with your mom. I sort of grew up alone, my mom was always working and when she was home, I just let her rest. I tried to leave her alone as much as I could.”

I said, “I would love to meet her if you want me to.”

He shrugged, “Maybe someday, I should probably tell her that I am gay first.”

I had never asked Aaron if his family knew that he was gay. I said, “Whenever you are ready to tell her, I’ll be there if you want me to be.”

He smiled, “Thanks, I’ll think about it.”

The next day, I had my weekly call with Kirk. Since we were both off work on Sunday, that was when we always talked. I had told him about my construction job as soon as I started and about Aaron being my coworker.

I said, “I have some news.”

Kirk asked, “Good news or bad news?”

I chuckled, “I think it’s good.”

He said, “Okay, what’s up?”

I said, “Remember I told you about Aaron?”

He replied, "Yeah, the guy you work with.”

I said, “We are no longer just coworkers.”

Kirk asked, “What does that mean?”

I paused, “We are now also roommates.”

He said, “That’s great, that means you got out of the motel and into a real place.”

I said, “Yep, I moved into Aaron’s house. We have a yard and everything.”

Kirk said, “I’m happy for you, I’m glad things are going well.”

I added, “There is one more thing. Aaron’s house is sort of small and only has one bedroom.”

The line was silent for a moment, “So you and Aaron are…”

I sighed, “Yes, we are together.”

Kirk said, “Good for you Ethan.”

I said, “Thanks.”

A few weeks later, Kirk was in town. He was subbing for the guy that now had the Chicago to LA route. I picked him up from the truck stop and brought him back to mine and Aaron’s house for dinner. I was so happy that he and Aaron got along well. Kirk told us that he had also met someone, another truck driver that moved in with him when his brother got a new job in another city.

As I drove Kirk back to the truck stop, he said, “I am really happy for you Ethan. In the last year, you have gotten your life together. You went from that scared 18-year-old that was living in his old truck to a happy young man with a home and a nice partner to spend his life with. I’m proud of you.”

I smiled, “Thanks, Kirk. Aaron really does make me happy, and I like my job and home. I’m glad you found someone too and that we are still friends.”

I gave him a hug before I drove back home. We still call each other at least weekly, just to catch up. Aaron told me that he liked Kirk too but was glad that he didn’t live in Hartford. I reassured him that Kirk and I never really dated; we shared a couple of nights together when I needed some support.

Aaron smiled, “Good, because I want you all to myself. You are the best thing to ever happen to me.”

I gave him a kiss, “And you are the best thing to happen to me, too. You are all I need.”

Aaron and I were approaching our first-year anniversary, and I had just celebrated my 20th birthday. Aaron and I were still meeting mom and Danny for lunch whenever we could, dad was still not wanting to talk to me. I had already accepted the fact that he may never want to see me again.

Aaron and I were busy at work, Bob was selling houses as fast as we could build them. Mike thanked us several times for being professional at work and not letting our personal life interfere with our jobs. James had even stopped teasing us about being shacked up together, Aaron always told him he was jealous anyway.

We were setting rafters on our latest house, something we had done many times before. Mike was running the telehandler to lift the rafters up on top of the walls, Tim was on the ground hooking the strap to each rafter. Aaron and I were on each side of the house lining up the rafter in the proper position and James was on the peak of the roof unhooking the strap after each rafter was set and braced.

We were setting the last rafter; I had my side set in the right spot and Aaron was lining his side up and James was getting ready to brace it. Somehow, the strap slipped and the rafter started to fall over. Mike had always told us that if anything big like that started to fall, we were to just let it fall and get out of the way. Aaron must have forgotten that little piece of advice, he tried to keep the rafter from falling but he failed.

Instead, he and the rafter fell to the ground with a loud thump. We quickly ran to Aaron to find him under the rafter and holding his shoulder. He was trying to breathe; the fall had knocked the wind out of him. James, Tim, and I quickly lifted the rafter off of him as Mike called for an ambulance.

Aaron was in pain as he said, “I think something is broken, God, it hurts.”

Mike said, “Just lay still, the rescue squad will be here soon and get you to the hospital.”

It only took 10 to 15 minutes for the EMTs to arrive, but it felt like an hour, I’m sure it felt even longer for Aaron. Mike let me follow the ambulance to the hospital to be with Aaron. I sat in the waiting room for two hours waiting to hear how Aaron was doing. I didn’t think his injury was life threatening, but those thoughts were still running through my mind.

Mike arrived just as the doctor was coming out to update me.

The doctor smiled, “Are you Ethan?”

I nodded, “Yes, is Aaron okay?”

He said, “Yes, he will be sore for a while, but he is fine. He has a broken collar bone and two cracked ribs. His arm will have to be in a sling for about six weeks for the bone to heal, but he will have full use after that.”

I asked, “Can I go see him?”

The doctor smiled, “Sure, we are moving him to a room right now, I want him to spend the night here. If things look good tomorrow, we will send him home. I will have the nurse come get you when we have him settled in his room.”

Mike talked to the doctor, giving him all the details of the accident for the worker’s comp forms. Just as he finished, the nurse came out and led us to Aaron’s room. He was a little loopy from the pain medication and just started talking gibberish.

The nurse grinned, “He is on some pretty good pain killers right now. It might be best if you don’t stay too long and let him get some rest.”

I nodded, “Thank you, we won’t stay long.”

Aaron grinned, “Hey Mike, you should try some the stuff they gave me, it’s really great.”

Mike chuckled, “Just get some rest and don’t give the nurses too much trouble.”

Aaron said, “Yes sir. That fall was pretty cool, but the sudden stop really sucked.”

Mike shook his head, “That is why I tell you to just get out of the way when something falls. We can always rebuild a wall or get a new rafter.”

Aaron sighed, “I know, it won’t happen again.”

Mike nodded, “Get some rest, and Ethan, you can take the rest of the week off to take care of this idiot.”

I smiled, “Thanks Mike.”

He turned to walk out of the room as Aaron giggled and said, “Oh yeah, you can take good care of me, I could really use a blow job right now.”

Mike rolled his eyes and sighed, “I’ll leave you guys alone, that is something I don’t need to see.”

I also rolled my eyes, “Thanks again Mike, I’ll call you later and let you know when I get him home.”

I sat with Aaron for a while until he started to nod off. The nurse came in and said, “He will probably be out all night. I can call you if anything changes.”

I nodded, “I guess I’m a bit tired too, I’ll be back first thing in the morning.”

I barely slept that night, worrying about Aaron. I was a bit relieved the next morning when I saw him eating breakfast when I arrived at the hospital.

I asked, “How are you feeling?”

He gave me a weak smile, “I’m a little sore. It really hurts when I cough or sneeze, the doc says it will get better when the ribs heal. I still can’t move my arm.”

I held his good hand and said, “Just relax and let your body heal, it will be better soon.”

After the doctor made his rounds, he decided an extra day in the hospital would be best. I was allowed to take Aaron home the following day. Once he was home, I got him set up in the recliner. It was the only place that he could sit without pain. I made sure the remote was within reach and that Aaron had a glass of water on the end table.

Once I had him all settled in, we found a movie to watch. Aaron sighed, “Damn it.”

I asked, “What’s the matter? Do you need something?”

He nodded, “I need to go to the bathroom.”

I chuckled as I helped him to his feet, “Do you need any help in there?”

He rolled his eyes, “I guess I need help taking my pants down, I need to take a shit.”

I left the bathroom once he was sitting down, I knew if it was me, I would want to have a little privacy if I was taking a dump.

A few minutes later, He said, “Um… Ethan?”

I went to the door, “Yeah, what do you need?”

He sighed, “This is kind of embarrassing, but I think I need you to wipe my ass.”

We got through the awkwardness and by the time I went back to work on Monday, Aaron was feeling better and was able to do more things for himself. I would get his lunch ready before I went to work and I would help him shower after I had mine every night. That was at least enjoyable for both of us.

As we got to the four-week mark, Aaron was able to do things around the house. His ribs were mostly healed, and the pain was gone from his shoulder. He could make his own lunch and was starting to have dinner ready for me when I got home from work. I was glad to have things getting back to normal.

At Aaron’s last doctor’s appointment, they took the sling that kept his arm immobilized and gave him one that would allow limited movement. He also started going to physical therapy a few times a week. He had dinner ready for me when I walked in the door after work. I gave him a kiss and helped set the table.

As we sat down to eat, Aaron got a text message. He looked at his phone and sighed.

I asked, “What is it?”

He shrugged, “It’s from the pharmacy, they said my prescription is ready.”

I said, “Prescription? For what?”

He said, “For my pain medication.”

I said, “I didn’t think you were taking those anymore.”

Aaron said, “I’m not. I haven’t touched the last bottle. I’ll call the doctor tomorrow and have him cancel it.”

A couple of weeks later, Aaron was no longer using the sling and seemed able to do everything that he was able to do before the accident. His short-term disability was ending, and I was glad that he was going to be able to return to work. He had an appointment on Monday for the doctor to give him a release, so he could go back to his job. Bob had hired his nephew that was home from college for the summer to fill in while Aaron was laid up.

The night before the appointment, Aaron said, “I might not want to go back to working for Bob.”

I was a bit surprised, “Why not?”

He shrugged, “I’m not sure I can climb up on a ladder again. I think I might want to try something different.”

I asked, “Like what?”

Aaron sighed, “I don’t know yet.”

We talked about it a while, I was still concerned about the sudden interest in a career change, but I was trying to be supportive. Aaron was given the okay to return to work at his appointment but called and officially quit his job. I had no idea how much money Aaron had saved up, but I was starting to worry about Aaron being able to pay his bills.

Two weeks later, he was still not working, and I saw no evidence that he was even looking. I really wanted to ask him about it, but so far he has been able to pay rent and the rest of our bills.

As we sat to eat dinner, he pulled out his phone and said, “Oh, check this out.”

I took his phone and saw a picture of a nice truck from a dealer’s web site. I chuckled, “Nice, too bad neither of us can afford it.”

He shrugged, "I think I can.”

I said, “But Aaron, you don’t have a job, what are you going to pay for it with, your good looks and charm?”

Aaron said, “I have some money saved up.”

I sighed, “Do whatever you want, but I think it might be better to have a job before you make a big purchase like that.”

A week later, that truck was sitting in the driveway when I got home from work. I was disappointed in Aaron but didn’t say anything. He was all excited and a little upset when I didn’t share in that excitement. I just hope he wasn’t biting off more than he could chew but so far he has been still able to help with all of our bills.

I even talked to Mike about it at work. He just told me that as long as Aaron was paying his share, not to worry about it. I guess he’s right, but it didn’t stop me from wondering where Aaron was getting all of his money.

I got home from work on Friday and Aaron was making dinner. He gave me a quick kiss and said, “Dinner will be ready in about 15 minutes.”

I smiled, “Thanks, I think I’ll take a quick shower first.”

He nodded, “It will be on the table when you get done.”

I did like coming home to dinner on the table and as long as Aaron was still able to pay his share, I guess I could deal with our present arrangement. I finished my shower and dried off. I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked down the hall to get dressed.

I heard a commotion in the living room and turned to see what was happening. Just as I walked into the room, a man with a gun yelled, “Get your hands up. Do you live here?”

I stammered, “Yes, we are roommates. What’s going on?”

That was when I saw the badges and Aaron lying on the floor with his hands cuffed behind his back.

The man said, “You are both under arrest.”
