When Its Over -- Part 8

When Lance finally set down Jody's journal it was closing in on 3 in the
morning and he could feel it.  His body was stiff from sitting still too
long and his mind was foggy from the lack of sleep.  His right shoulder and
arm was asleep from the weight of Jody's body leaned on it as he slept
quietly.

Lance managed to slide out from Jody's body without waking him up, but his
body retaliated.  His joints cracked and muscles ached until he thought he
might just fall over in the floor and literally die.  He spent several
minutes moving around trying to relieve the stiffness until he decided he
could make it up the stairs without feeling like too much of an old man.

He was about to turn and leave when he noticed that Jody had a somewhat
pained look on his face, and after careful investigation, Lance realized it
was the way he was sleeping on his side.  His arm was crushed beneath him
and from the looks of his hand that was hanging over the side of the couch
he was probably cutting off the circulation.

Lance knelt down beside Jody and gently shook his shoulder.  Jody moved,
but didn't seem to wake up any.  The light next to the couch brought a
subtly glow to Jody's light complexion.  He wasn't as pale as Lance tended
to be, but by no means was his tanned.  It seemed he was barely dark enough
for his chestnut colored hair (freshly dyed) to not seem strange on him.
As Lance's eyes moved over Jody's features slowly he felt the urge to touch
him.  So he let his hand lay gently on his cheek.  Jody's head moved a
little and at first Lance thought he had waken him up, but Jody was simply
pulling closer to his warm hand.  A slight groan of contentment came from
Jody.

Lance felt nervous.  He kept running through rules in his head.  What's
considered proper etiquette in this situation?  He wanted to touch Jody,
but what would Jody think?  He suddenly felt very overwhelmed by the whole
thing.  He had a few relationships before, but they all seemed rather
childish and he never expected much of them.  Lance felt his stomach
tighten and knew that he was letting his mind dig to deep.  With a loud
sigh he took his hand of Jody's face and stood up.  He was about to say
something, in the hopes of waking Jody, when he saw Jody's eyes looking up
at him.

"Why'd you stop?"

"I thought you were asleep."  Lance was a little surprised by the question.
He had been considering every possible bad comment that could be made if
Jody had woken up, but not this.

"Is it time to go to bed?"

"Yeah, come on."  Lance reached out a hand to help Jody of the couch.  Jody
made on his feet but almost fell back over as soon as he put all of his
weight on his legs.

"Guess I shouldn't sleep on the couch anymore."

"Yeah, there's a bed upstairs."

"Yours?"  Jody looked down at his feet.  He hadn't meant to say it out
loud, but his mind was still slightly blurry from the nap on the couch and
the pleasant wake up call.

"If you like.  I've never been big on sleeping alone."  Jody couldn't help
the smile that popped onto his face. Lance simply gave him the crooked grin
he always did and turn to walk upstairs.  When he realized Jody wasn't
behind him he turned around to face him.  He reached over and grabbed his
hand pulling it lightly towards the stairs.  "Come on."

They managed to get up the stairs after hip checking each other a few dozen
times and giggling like children.  Lance never let go of Jody's hand and
Jody's grip seemed to tighten a little with each step, though never getting
uncomfortable.  "You know- if you don't want me to stay with you I could
sleep in the guest room.  I don't mind."  Jody said as they worked their
way down the hall towards Lance's bedroom.

"I want you to."  Lance said simply as he continued down the hall.

"You sure?"

"Yes.  Now would you just come to bed already?"

"Just making sure."  His words barely made it out.  As soon as they were in
Lance's bedroom Jody found himself against a wall with Lance mouth over
his.  For a moment he couldn't respond.  Lance surprised him; it just
wasn't like him to be this straight forward.  He felt Lance start to pull
away and without thinking grabbed his shirt pulling his body closer.
Jody's tongue worked its way over Lance lips and when they parted over his
teeth until they opened allowing him full access.

Lance could feel Jody's hands work their way under his loose t-shirt,
rubbing lightly on his lower back.  Jody seemed hesitant, not sure of what
Lance wanted.  Lance simply kissed Jody as passionately as he could.  Jody
got the message and let his hands slide up Lance's back more, pushing the
shirt with them.  They broke their kiss long enough to get Lance's shirt
over his head and for them both to catch a quick breath before Jody found
his lips lightly kissing Lance's, teasingly before working down to his jaw
line.  He let his mouth wonder back closer to Lance's ear before kissing
the lobe and then lightly biting it.  Lance groaned and involuntarily
bucked his hips against Jody's body.  Jody had to laugh a little under his
breath.  "Lets move over to the bed."  He said breathing into Lance's ear,
letting the warm air tickle him.  Lance didn't move until Jody started to
push on him a little.  Lance was busy alternating between kissing and
biting the side of Jody's neck.

When they finally managed to make it to the bed they fell on in a tangled
mess.  After rolling around a little they finally found their positions.
Jody was sitting on Lance's stomach, straddling him.  Lance ran his hands
up Jody's sides carrying his shirt up and over his head.  As soon as it was
off Jody leaned down to kiss Lance again before moving lower.  He let his
tongue graze over Lance as he made his way down to his chest, stopping at
his right nipple - which was already hard.  He kissed it lightly before
grazing his teeth over it.  He didn't bite but let the rough edges of his
teeth pull against the tender flesh.

Lance's body wiggled underneath him and Jody could feel his hardness
pushing against his ass.  He spent several minutes on each nipple.  His
tongue working in circles before sucking and nibbling on them each in turn.
When he finally raised his head from Lance's chest it was immediately
pulled back up to meet the blonde's lips.  The passionate kisses seemed to
last for eternity.  Jody hands continued to wander over Lance's body
driving him crazy with ever movement.  Lance began to pull his mouth away
reluctantly, needing only to catch his breathe.  But as soon as they're
lips lost contact Jody was moving again.  He hovered his body over Lance's
-- planting small kisses as he made his way down to Lance's pants.

They made eye contact as Jody began to unbutton the khakis that held
Lance's very obvious erection.  Jody looked for any form of indecision or
the slightest look telling him to stop, and finding none began to slide the
loose pants over the blonde's slim hips.  Lance lifted his body up slightly
allowing Jody to pull his pants off.  Jody impatiently threw them over his
shoulder letting them land wherever they may.  Lance caught a small glimpse
of Jody's dark eyes.  His longer hair had fallen from behind his ears and
was covering most of his pronounced features.  There was a small grin on
his face as he leaned his head back down.  He let his mouth work over
Lance's erection through the thin cotton material of his boxers gently
sucking on his hardness.  Lance's body began writhing again.  The mixture
of the moisture form Jody's mouth and his hot breathe was send him places
he hadn't been in a very long time -- if ever.

Jody noticed the blonde's excitement and took the opportunity to pull the
front of his boxers down over the erection.  It hung in mid air in front of
his face while he admired it.  He could see Lance looking at him with an
approving look on his face.  Jody couldn't help himself anymore.  He had
been rather patient up till this point, but he wanted Lance, and he wanted
him badly.  He lavished Lance's manhood with his tongue for a moment before
he took it in his mouth.  He played with the mushroom head, licking the
under side and gently sucking before he pushed down taking three fourths of
it in his mouth with one stroke.  Lance groaned in pleasure and raised his
hips pushing the rest into Jody's mouth for him.  Jody laid his hand on
Lance's abdomen slowly pushing his body back down on the mattress.  Once
Lance was laying flat again he began to work his way up and down the shaft,
sliding his down across the sensitive underside.  The blonde had handfuls
of sheet on each side and his head was tipped back with his eyes closed.  A
film of sweat covered his body making it hard for Jody to keep his hips
pushed down.  With every down stroke Lance's hips instinctively came up
meeting his mouth half way.  It wasn't long before Jody could feel a hard
throbbing inside his mouth.  The power of each of Lance's thrust increased
and his breathing had become uneven.  Jody thought he heard Lance trying to
say something between groans and gasps but he knew what was happening.
Went Lance did finally come Jody had to fight to keep his mouth on Lance.
The blonde bucked and writhed around like Jody had never seen before.  He
swallowed down everything in his mouth and gently sucked for more.  When
the blonde began to settle down and his erection stopping throbbing Jody
let it fall out of his mouth.

Lance was caught up in the after glow and looked beautiful.  His normally
perfect hair was a mess and soaking wet with sweat.  His green eyes were
dark with passion and looked cloudy with contentment.  Jody slowly made his
way to Lance's face.  Lance simply stared at him until they were close
enough that he could reach out and meet his lips.  They kissed, alternating
between quick light kisses and harder much more passionate kisses for
several minutes while Lance tried to regain his strength.

"I trust you're ok?"  Jody said with a smile when he finally managed to
pull himself away from the blonde's passionate kisses.

"Shut up and kiss me."  Lance rolled partially over onto Jody finding his
mouth again in the process.  Jody began to grind his hips against Lance's
now growing erection, trying to find the release Lance had found once and
was seeking again.  Lance moved his way back down to Jody's neck, kissing
and nibbling on the soft skin as his hands removed the rest of Jody's
clothing.

Once he had Jody completely naked he sat on him, straddling his stomach and
letting his erection lay on Lance's ass.  Lance leaned down grabbing each
of Jody's hands working them over his head and holding them there.  He
kissed him passionately pushing his tongue into his mouth exploring it
repeatedly while moving his body slightly up and down rubbing over Jody's
erection, driving him mad.  Without a warning Lance sat up and rearranged
his hands so that only one held both of Jody's.  He reached over to his
dresser drawer removing a condom and some lubricant.  Jody- at the sight-
smiled and groaned in frustration and he attempted to lean up and kiss
Lance again.  Lance simply laughed a little and opened the condom package
with his mouth.  After a few tries he managed to put the condom on Jody
without letting go of his hands.

Jody squirmed at the feeling of the cool lubricant through the thin latex
as Lance applied it to his erection.  Lance lifted himself off Jody and
using his one free hand pointed Jody member at his tight hole.  After
rubbing it around for several moments spreading more lube around he gently
began to push it in.  Jody had to fight the urge to push up, not wanting to
hurt Lance.

The head of his erection slipped in relatively quickly and a look of
immense pain ripped its way across Lance's face.

"Guess I shouldn't have been in such a hurry."  He managed through clenched
teeth.  Jody immediately began trying to pull his hips back and away,
hoping to alleviate the pain for him.

"No, stop, just give me a minute."  Lance said as he took a deep breathe.
His face began to relax after a moment and a look of pleasure started to
show in his eyes.  When he started down again Jody did his best not to
move, letting set his own pace, even though he wanted nothing more than to
push up and be all the way inside his boyfriend.

It took several minutes for Lance to make it all the way down, and when he
finally felt Jody's pubic hair tickling him he let out a sigh of relief.
Jody was groaning in pleasure at the warm tightness around him.  He finally
broke Lance's hold on his hands he raised his shoulders and head to meet
Lance's mouth in a frantic kiss.  He wrapped his arm around the blonde's
waist, pulling his body down some in the process.  The movement sent stabs
of pleasure through Jody's body as he felt muscle contract and move around
him.

When Lance finally started to raise his hips and back down in small strokes
Jody's entire body moved in a spasm of pleasure.  Both men were sweating
and gasping for breathes at the intensity of it.  When Jody willed his eyes
open he found Lance staring at him.  There was an intense look of love in
them.  "I love you."  Jody breathed without even realizing it.  A rather
large smile broke across the Blonde's face and he leaned completely over
kissing Jody again.  Jody was getting close and when Lance leaned over his
entire mind was taken over with the power of it all.

"I love you too."  Lance whispered into his neck pushing his erection
between their hot bodies while sliding Jody's in and out of his body.  They
both found themselves kissing between gasps for air and running their hands
over each other's body.  "I'm gonna." But that was all Jody managed to get
out before Lance felt him buck his hips up into him and his body shake with
intensity.  Lance pulled their bodies closer together as he commed himself
for the second time that night.

They both laid their, their bodies intertwined, catching their breath and
enjoying being together.  Lance moved around, trying to stretch out his
somewhat stiff legs when he felt Jody come out of him and heard the small
pop sound.  Jody was staring at him.  He felt self-conscience as the
younger man worked his eyes over his face, memorizing every feature.

"I love you."  Jody whispered.  Lance immediately blushed as the weight of
it all finally began to settle over him.

"You already said that."  He laid his head on Jody's shoulder and snuggled
his face into his neck.

"I know.  Just making sure you knew it wasn't something I said in the
throws of passion."

Lance laughed a little.  "This is like a scene from one of those trashy
romance novels."

"Yeah, but you look better than most of the girls on the covers of those."

Lance pulled his head up, giving Jody his best puppy dogface.  "Most?  And
what about the guys?"  Jody had to laugh at Lance's pouted lip and furrowed
brow as he tried not to laugh himself.

"Fine.  You're the sexiest person I have ever seen in my entire life."  He
said with all seriousness.

"Good."  Lance finally let the smile out and snuggled back into his
position.


Lance woke the next morning when the buzzing finally became too much to
bear.  He slapped the alarm clock and phone both hoping to stop the noise.
When it didn't stop he finally opened his eyes and looked around the room.
Jody was sleeping soundly and Lance moved slowly when he lifted his head
off his chest.  By the time he was out of the bed putting on a stray pair
of boxers form the night before he was already cursing who ever was ringing
the door bell.

"Is that the door?"  Lance turned back from the door to see Jody rubbing
his eyes and trying to focus on Lance.

"Yeah, go back to sleep, I'll deal with who ever it is."  Jody simply
nodded and curled up into a ball beneath the blankets falling asleep
instantly.

Lance managed to make it downstairs without hurting himself even though his
vision was still a little blurry and the house was a bit cool this morning.
When he made it to the door and checked the peephole there stood five
friends, all with laughing and joking waiting for someone to answer the
door.  Lance took in a deep sigh as he unlocked and finally opened the
door.  Everyone's turned to look at him and their eyes then dropped down,
noticing his near nakedness.

"Did we interrupt something?"  Josh asked carefully, the smile gone from
his face, but his eyes were gleaming with happiness at the idea.

"Yeah... I was sleeping, but you ruined that for me."  Lance's southern
accent was showing through, a sign that he was tired and a little
frustrated.

"Well, we just came to see Jody and to bring you guys lunch, but we can
come back later."  Chris said, the goofy grin on his face made him seem so
much younger than he was.

"No, come on in, I'll go get dressed and get Jody up.  Wait, lunch?"  Lance
turned and looked at the clock on the wall.  It was after noon and he still
felt like he got no sleep.  His jaw dropped until he realized they were all
staring at him again.  "Well, come in, you know where everything is."
Before he could get the words out they were all moving past him through the
house.  He got a couple slaps on the back and some hellos on their way
through and Britney even stopped to hug him.  "Be back in a minute."  He
said as he made his way up the stairs.

When he made it back to his bedroom he found the bed empty and the door to
the bathroom was pushed close partially.  He stopped at the bathroom and
tapped on the door.  Jody kicked it open with his foot as he stood brushing
his teeth.

"The guys are here with Britney, to see you and bring us lunch."

"I heard."  Jody smiled and talked around the mouth full of toothpaste.
After he spit and rinsed he realized Lance was still watching him.  He had
to smile at the idea and turned around to face him.  What he found was
Lance right behind him, almost on him and before he could say anything he
had a mouth covering his own.  The kiss was slow and passionate, and Jody
felt his body start to melt into the sink behind him.  When they broke he
could still taste Lance on his lips and licked them to savor the taste.

"Go get dressed and meet me downstairs."  Lance said as he playfully
smacked Jody's ass to get him out the way.  Jody obliged and searched
through his bags, looking for something to wear.  When he was dressed Lance
made his way out of the bathroom, a slightly pained look on his face.

"You ok?"  Jody asked, concerned he had hurt Lance.

"Yeah, just a little sore from last night I guess."  Lance smiled showing
Jody he was ok before searching for his own clothes to wear.  Jody watched
as he wandered from the closet to various drawers around his room,
searching out something comfortable to wear.  He had to smile as Lance
fought to get a pair of flannel pants on.  He was still tired and his
balance was a little off, and nearly fell several times before he got them
on.

"Ready to face them?"  Lance asked when he was finally dressed.

"Face them?"  Jody asked.  Lance was acting like his friends were a line of
executioners.

"They will have plenty to laugh about, trust me."  Lance said as he pointed
to a bruise on Jody's neck were he had bitten him the night before.  Jody
blushed before showing Lance his own neck in the mirror.  They both laughed
and began down the steps.

Lance stopped in the kitchen doorway and Jody wrapped his around the
blonde's waist, laying his chin on his shoulder to see what was going on.
Everyone in the kitchen was busy setting up plates of food from brown bags.
Chris was playing with the sandwiches as he set them out one by one.  Each
had several things written on them and he was trying to remember who had
what each time.  Britney and Justin were smacking each other as they fought
over several large bags of potato chips, while Joey and Josh were laughing
at the rest of them, setting out several plastic containers of various
foods.

Britney was the first to notice the newest couple in the doorway and almost
dropped the bag of chips when she did.  Justin noticed her reaction and
turned to see.  The rest of the guys all followed suit.  There were smiles
and grins around the room as they realized what was going on.  Jody
immediately felt self-conscience and began to pull his hands away when
Lance grabbed them to hold them in place.  Lance then leaned back into
Jody, and smiled at the feeling on him relaxing.

Chris was the first one to say anything.  "You know, Scoop, I am a very
patient person.  I did my best not push you two, but I have to say, its
about goddamn time."

"Yeah, I was beginning to wonder."  Josh added as he sat down at the table.

"Can we eat now, and save the lectures?"  Lance said as he walked to the
table, pulling Jody along with him.  Britney stopped Jody when he was about
to sit down and looked him over very carefully.  She seemed to be fighting
a battle in her mind over whether to speak or not.

"Look, you have battle scars."  She managed to laugh as she pointed at
Jody's neck and shoulders.  Everyone else turned to look and had to laugh.
When Jody saw Lance he was relieved to see that he was blushing with
embarrassment but smiling, and not mad about it.  He had been somewhat
worried Lance would be upset when his friends figured out what happened
last night.

Jody finally started to laugh and sat down in the chair next to Lance, who
was trying to force his smile away.  When he finally succeeded he gave
Britney a very serious look, the best he could muster.  "He fought long and
hard for those, thank you."  Jody's head snapped toward Lance.  Most of the
color drained from his face in shock.  Most everyone else had the same
reaction.  After a few seconds Lance smiled.  "What?  I can't be as blunt
as everyone else?"

Jody was still too shocked for words.  Everyone else seemed to be in the
same state, until the all looked at each other.  Then they started.  First
Britney and Justin, then Joey, and Josh, Chris following soon after.  They
laughed for what seemed an eternity.  Lance laughed along and Jody could
tell he was proud of himself.  Even with the shock of it Jody finally found
the humor in it all.  He realized if Lance hadn't said something they would
have spent all afternoon answering suggestive questions, and getting
strange stares.  So Lance just put it out there, screw what they thought.

When the laughing finally died down and everyone began to eat Chris broke
out into another big smile.  Lance looked at him wearily, and Jody groaned
at the idea of what would follow.  "Now, do I have to lecture you two on
safe sex?"  Everyone looked at the couple, and Jody grinned evilly.

"No, sir.  Young people today know these things."  Jody said, looking
directly at Chris before smiling.

"Yeah, he'll fit in."  Justin said before taking a big bite of his
sandwich.  Lance leaned over and whispered a quick "I love you" in Jody's
ear before he started to eat.  Jody slinked down in his chair a little to
watch his boyfriend and his friends interact, and had to smile at it all.
He was happy, in love, and his rock creditability just got thrown out the
window.


OK.  So I had planned on actually "pushing the relationship forward" in the
last chapter, but I just couldn't get it to work.  So I wrote the last
chapter, as bad as it was, which is setting it up for me.  Sorry to keep
everybody waiting on it, but for some reason the last chapter or two have
been hard to write, mainly because they seem to be flowing in a completely
different way than I wanted.  The "outline" or plan I had for the story is
pretty much out the window at this point.  So, sorry.  Also, I just figured
out I suck at writing sex scenes.  It's a lot harder than I had thought it
would be.  And let me know if this chapter's a little better.  Thanks

Another note: I recently heard Sugar Ray's song "When Its Over."  I didn't
base the story off it or anything -- it just seemed like a somewhat
romantic phrase, but it is an okay song to listen to.

(Oh and I'm currently reading Alone Together, probably one of the best
stories I've read in the archives, very original and well written, go read
it.)
