Werebear

Waiting

Saturday and Sunday passed without incident. There was no sign of the biker, but we did notice an inordinate number of lesbian couples strolling down our street. By Saturday afternoon we decided to meet some of our protectors, so we ventured out on the pretext of going for a walk. At one end of the hall, in front of a large window, a small seating area played host to the first couple we saw. We thought they must live in the building to be able to get in. We decided to take the stairs, which were right next to them, so we could say hello as we passed.

On the ground level we passed two more couples in the lobby, so perhaps they didn’t live there. As we left the building, we noticed a number of other couples. One was loitering near the rail of the stairs to the front door. Another couple was sitting in their car chatting. Two other couples were strolling along the sidewalk across the street.

Starlight was keeping count and Twinkle-Toes was trying not to laugh. “I’ve never seen so much flannel in all my life,” he joked, to which Starlight slapped his arm.

“Stop it,” he chided. “Be nice.”

Before we reached the side of the building, we saw another couple sitting on a bench by the entrance to the parking garage. One of them was Dee-Dee. She casually stood up and greeted us. “Hi guys, What’s up?”

“Not much,” Starlight began. “We knew you all were out here, and we just wanted to see for ourselves. This is amazing.”

She smiled. “Anytime,” she assured him. Then looking at me, “How are you doing?”

She softened a little. Maybe Sniff was right, and I did remind her of someone she loved. “I’m doing good,” I shook her proffered hand. “Better, knowing you are all out here keeping watch. I don’t know how I can ever repay you.” I knew that a lot of people had gone out of their way for me but hadn’t realized just how intense the effort was until I actually saw them spending their day off doing nothing just to help keep me safe. I actually choked up a bit.

“No need,” she said. I’ve seen too many of the beast’s boys destroyed because they can’t think of anything but dick.” She blinked for a moment and suddenly realized, “You haven’t met Judith yet.” She motioned to her partner who was still sitting on the bench.

Judith rose and came over to greet us. “Hi guys,” She put her arm around Dee-Dee. “You’ll have to excuse her; the beast took one of her second cousins years ago.”

Dee-Dee nudged Judith. “They don’t need to know about that.” She seemed embarrassed.

Judith leaned in and quietly said, “They deserve to know why this is so important to you.”

Twinkle-Toes looked at Starlight before saying, “I had no idea, Dee-Dee. I’m so sorry.”

Starlight chimed in, “Oh my god. What happened?”

Dee-Dee didn’t answer. She didn’t seem to want to talk about it. Judith volunteered, “We don’t know what happened. He just disappeared one day, but every now and then she would catch a glimpse of someone she thought was him. When she started to work at the store…”

“It was that fucking beast, that’s what happened!” Dee-Dee’s fists were clenched, and she stared at the ground as she spoke. After a pause, she continued, “He was so skinny. It was obvious he wasn’t eating, and his skin was practically gray. He would hang out with those strange guys in the cruising park. I think he was turning tricks. I tried to talk to him five or six times, but he just ran away whenever I got too close.”

She went silent for a moment, then Judith finished. “She hasn’t seen him for over five years now. No one knows where he is.”

We allowed the silence to linger for a long moment, then Starlight broke it, softly venturing, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up such painful memories.”

She returned to the bench, followed by Judith, who took her hand as she sat beside her. “That’s ok, sweetie, It’s nobody’s fault, it’s just life.” She looked at us smoothing her anger. Then singling me out she said. “No need to repay. I wasn’t there for Martin when he needed me, but maybe I can be there for someone else, for you...” Her voice caught on the last word and she went silent again.

When the silence lasted to long, Judith stood up and took charge. “You boys need to get your asses back in that apartment, so our efforts aren’t wasted. We’re all out here keeping you safe, and the last thing we need is you strolling around like you don’t have a care in the world.” The boys turned to go, but I stood and looked at Dee-Dee for a moment before sitting beside her. Putting my arms around her neck, I whispered a simple, “Thank you.”

We returned to the apartment with a renewed sense of the gravity of the situation. It seemed we were going to be staying in for the remainder of the weekend. Twinkle-Toes decided we needed a plan. “We can either see this as forced isolation or we can see it as an opportunity.” We started fantasizing about how we could make the weekend more fun. Both of the boys had mentioned that they missed seeing all the naked men at the retreat center, so without a word I jumped up and stripped.

“Better?” I asked. It made them both laugh.

“Too fast,” Said Twinkle-Toes. “I want to savor having you show me all that skin.”

“And music,” starlight added. “You need some music to do it properly.”

So, while he searched his phone for something appropriate, I put my clothes back on. I did my best, but by the time I got my dick out we were all laughing so hard we had tears streaming down our faces. When I had finished I plopped myself on the couch beside them and, turning to Starlight and pushing him forward. “You next!”

“What?” He feigned innocence but chose a song and hit play. He was much better at it than I was, but we were still all laughing when he finished.

Twinkle-Toes jumped up without hesitation and began dancing before Starlight could even get the next song started. He danced with wild abandon, and, while he was not the most graceful dancer, he was so comfortable with his own body, and enjoying himself so much that he was a joy to watch.

He finished his dance and started to pick up our clothes to pass around. I thought for a minute and started grabbing all the clothes I could reach. “No, wait.” They both looked at me. “I think we should have a naked weekend. From this moment on I think we should stay naked until we have to leave on Monday. What do you think?” They both kind of shrugged and agreed. “I’ve never had a naked day, let alone a naked weekend. You guys may do it all the time at the retreat center, but I don’t.”

Starlight got an evil glint in his eyes and, turning to Twinkle-Toes said, “Ooh, a virgin.”

Twinkle-Toes rolled his eyes and acted bored, but I thought I detected a slight blush as he turned away.

We watched a couple old movies then Starlight decided he wanted to read, so he brought something up on his phone put some music on his headphones. It wasn’t long before he nodded off in the recliner, leaving Twinkle-toes and I to ourselves. We cuddled while we watched a few short videos on the internet, then, turning it off we snuggled deeper and chatted. He told me more about his family, and we shared coming out stories. After a particularly long silence he ventured, “There’s something I should tell you.” He was stretched out along the couch with his head in my lap, looking up at me.

There was concern in his face, so I kissed the tip of his nose and asked’ “What is it?”

He hesitated for a moment. “Remember this morning when you wanted to fuck me?” I nodded. “Well, no one has ever done that before.” This time he definitely blushed. “I mean, I…”

I put my finger to his lips, stopping him. “No need to explain.” I stroked the side of his face. “I won’t bother you about that again, it’s up to you.”

“No,” he protested, “I want you to bother me… I mean, I’ve been thinking about it, and this morning when you were right there, all I wanted was for you to be in me. But I’ve never…I’m probably pretty tight. I think it will take a bit of foreplay.” Again, he blushed.

Kissing his forehead, I assured him, “You showed me how much I have to learn about oral this morning. The least I can do is help you with anal. I do know a little something about that.” His eyes were wide, and I had a sense he was trusting me with something that made him feel very vulnerable. “Just let me know when you’re ready.”

“I’m ready.”

“What, now?” I hadn’t quite expected that.”

He rubbed his chest with my hand and asked. “Why not?”

I kissed him gently, “Are you sure?”

He moved my hand down past his balls to his taint, lightly placing one finger on his hole. As I circled his hairy pucker, he rolled his eyes back and whispered, “Yes, I’m sure.”
