TOMMY 
by matthew shakespeare

Part One:  The Boy with Green Eyes

	I met Tommy during the 2nd week of school last year.  I had just
begun ninth
grade when we first talked to each other.  I've lived in the same small
town all of my life,
and knew all of my classmates well.  But, even though I was quite outgoing
and well-
liked, for some reason I just couldn't really connect with most of the
guys in my class.  I
had several buddies who I kinda hung around, but they weren't die-hard
friends, you
know, not the kind who would do anything for each other.  
	Then the second week of school, he showed up at school.
	Tommy.  About an inch or two shorter than I was, and a little
taller than most of
the boys in our class.  He was a stunningly blonde, strawberry blonde, his
hair was
longish and it fell teasingly across his forehead, not quite touching his
cheekbones, but
brushing his dark lashes and threatening to cover his eyes.  But they
didn't cover his eyes. 
The hair might attract your attention, but those green eyes are what held
it.  Nothing
could stop those eyes, and when he smiled and flashed them, the girls fell
over dead. 
They were sea green, translucent pools of jade which caught sunlight and
held it.
	Tommy.  He was instantly popular.  The girls fawned over him and
were
suddenly taken with the urge to whisper in excited giggles for the first
time about sex and
blowjobs and fucking and Tommy, Tommy, always Tommy, day after day and,
probably
night after night.  The guys in our class, though they were jealous and
distant at first, put
their ill feelings aside soon enough when they found out just how great he
was.  He was
just too FUNNY for his own good.  At first you'd almost think he was shy. 
He never
hogged the conversation or was loud and stupid like most of the popular
guys.  He'd just
stand there grinning, and then at an off-beat moment, just suddenly say
the funniest thing
and everybody would burst out laughing.  He had a smooth, quiet voice that
didn't carry
well, but when he said something, it was worth listening too.  That was
Tommy.  
	I met him the first day he started going to school with us.  It
was during P.E. and
he was wearing a pair of black Umbro shorts and an old white t-shirt with
the arms cut
out.  We were about to start running, and everybody was standing around
the track
waiting on Coach Davis.  Tommy was standing alone on the grass stretching
his legs. 
They were smooth, well-muscled, and still had the remains of a dark summer
tan.  I
walked up and we began to talk about what school he had come from and how
he liked
things at this school, etc.  The sun was bright overhead and I could see a
faint band of
freckles speckled across the bridge of his nose.  His face was boyishly
cute.  We carried
on a decent conversation and he smiled agreeably and made a few jokes. 
His laugh was
the laugh of a boy and highly infectious, though as he chuckled his chest
strained the
white t-shirt and I could see that it was well developed for his age. 
Even so, I didn't
stare, because it was hard to look at anything while you were talking to
him, because the
eyes held you captive.  Later we ran the track side by side.  Sweat began
to drip down his
chest, soaking the t-shirt completely.  We stopped to catch our breath and
I couldn't help
but to notice his nipples were poking through the white cloth.  I felt a
stirring in my groin
and bit my lip as the first frustrated pangs of horniness spread through
my groin.  I had to
do something with all of that pent up energy, so I slapped Tommy solidly
on his back and
yelled that I was racing him to the end of the track.  He passed me almost
immediatly, but
I didn't mind, because my eyes were glued steadily to his buttocks, which
were bouncing
deliciously in time with his stride.

Part Two:  Relating the End of Innocence and the Beginning of Summer

	Summer began usual enough.  We got out of school in May, and
already the air
had begun to turn nastily hot.  By this time, Tommy and I had gone through
three years
together and he knew me better than anyone else did.  He was my best
friend, and we
were inseparable.  The dynamic duo of the ninth grade had raised hell in
the tenth.  We
talked and cut up constantly in class; and, much to the horror of our
teachers, we had
almost every class in common.  We always spent the weekends together. 
Tommy's mom
and dad weren't half as strict as mine, so I'd always tell Mom that I was
spending the
night at Tommy's house.  Then we'd go out with Tommy's brother, Jeffrey,
who was
eighteen, to parties and such.  Or we'd just stay at his house and cut up.
 Tommy's mother
worked the night shift as a nurse in the local hospital and his dad slept
constantly, so the
house was pretty much ours Friday or Saturday nights.  
	Not that I tried anything with Tommy.  Sure, I wanted to, but I
wasn't about to try
anything that would endanger our friendship.  Tommy meant more to me than
anything. 
Besides, he was completely straight.  We had both gotten our first
blowjobs together,
thanks to Jeffrey's influence.  All three of us were at a party and Jeff
managed to get three
girls so fucked up on orange juice and vodka they didn't put up any fight.
 All three of em
had been dying for our dicks anyway.  We stood in opposite corners of a
bedroom, and
though I couldn't see his dick, I could see the look of passion on his
face as that slut
sucked his cock, and it was enough to make me nut all in my bitch's mouth.
 Then he
must've cummed too, cause he opened his eyes and grinned at me and pushed
the girl off
his dick.  We quickly fastened our pants and I remember high-fiving him as
we left the
room.  Later, during our sophmore year, he finally found a girl he could
put up with for
some considerable amount of time, and they went out for seven months.  Her
name was
Karen, and I couldn't wait for them to break up, but that was before I
knew what it would
do to Tommy.  He was completely devastated. He found out that she had
gotten drunk
and slept with another guy at one of the parties that we were at.  With
Tommy there at the
party, she had screwed another guy.  He didn't know till a week later and
it completely
broke his heart.  I tried my best to be there for him, and, gradually he
came back into his
old self.  We stayed out every single weekend and went crazy. 
	But that was in the past.  That was during school, when we saw our
friends every
day.  Now it was summer.  Mom and Dad had gone to Atlanta for a nurse's
convention at
the Marriott for a whole week, which left me housesitting for six days
with nothing to do. 
Tommy's brother Jeff had gone to Florida with some seniors and he told us
that there
wasn't enough room for us to go.  We were so bummed.  He had nothing to do
at his
house with Jeffrey gone, so he told his parents that he was going to spend
the week at my
house.  I thought it was a great idea.

Part Three:  Fishing

	"Brett, I think we need to have some fun this week," Tommy said
matter-of-factly,
walking through the door of my bedroom with a duffel bag slung under his
shoulder.  "I
mean, how often is it that either of our parents are out of town?"
	"Try never," I offered.
	"Exactly!  Which is why we need to take advantage of it and not
just sit around
with our fingers stuck up our butts all week long."
	"Noted," I replied.  "And I even suggest we just have our own
little private party
tonight to kick off such a great week."
	Tommy grinned in agreement.  "You want me to just set this down
here?"
	"Throw it in the corner, I guess."
	He threw the bag onto my bed and then frowned.  "Uh oh."
	"What's wrong?" I asked.
	"Oh shit!  How're we going to get any alcohol with J-Boy gone to
Florida?"
	"How the fuck should I know?  You've always gotten the stuff!" I
shouted back,
chunking his bag into the closet.  Then I looked up at the shelves below
the closet light. 
"Hey, I've got three dime bags of stuff up here in the closet drying out. 
We've always got
that."
	"Brett, your fucking homegrown shit isn't worth fuck.  I just want
to get messed
up.  Drunk off my ass, not fried.  Save the damn weed for if we get bored
later."
	"Are you dissin my weed?" I asked, shoving him squarely on the
shoulders.
	"Yeah, you mother freakin parsley smoker,  I'm sayin your weed
isn't worth shit,"
he spat in my face.  I could tell he was fighting off the urge to grin.
	I smiled and he started laughing.  "I'm gonna kick your ass!" I
yelled, jumping
onto his shoulders and wrestling him to the bed.  Tommy wasn't the skinny
little kid he
used to be, though, and we struggled savagely for several minutes. 
Somehow he got one
muscled arm wrapped between my legs and the other around my neck.
	"Give up, mother fuck?" he asked between gritted teeth.
	"Hell no!" I said.
	While still keeping my head pinned, he reached with one hand and
grabbed my
cods.  He squeezed.  "Do you give up now, mother fuck?"
	"Aw, fuck!" I spat.  "That's not fair, dick sucker!"
	The struggling stopped and he let me go.  "Don't ever try to kick
my ass again
until you become a real man!" he said with a smirk.  He flexed his chest
and slapped it
with one fist.  He yawned.  It strained the grey 'Sturbridge Athletics'
T-shirt and my head
started to spin.
	I cupped my sore balls through my shorts and tried to hide the
hard-on that
wrestling with him had given me.  "Shut the fuck up," I said weakly. 
Tommy grinned
and threw his arm around my neck.  "Let's go get something to eat," he
said.  "As an
offering of peace I'll let suck my dick later tonight."
	I smiled wryly at him.  He didn't know how bad I wanted to do just
that.

				*	*	*  

	Tommy sat with his bare feet dangling off the pier into the water,
his blonde hair
shining dreamily in the midday sun.  The air was bathed in humidity.  The
sun was
smothering, and waves of heat radiated off the old wood of the pier and
from the mud
along the banks.  Mirages of blurry color smudged the landscape.  
	I head a small splash as Tommy cast his line out further.  I sat
behind him on the
other side of the pier with my pole in the water, hoping for a fish, any
fish, to just wiggle
my cork a little.  We had taken off our shirts a half hour earlier and I
glanced behind me
now and then to catch tantalizing glimpses of Tommy's tanned back muscles
smeared
with sweat in the heat of the day.  For some reason unbeknownst to me, we
had both
worn old bluejeans, and Tommy had rolled his up to just below the knee to
keep them
from getting wet.  I didn't care if mine got wet.  It was so hot.  My dark
hair was
plastered to my forehead, and the sweat ran in rivulets down my chest and
back.  It had
been Tommy's stupid idea to go fishing.  
	You might consider where I live to be rural.  I consider it the
middle of nowhere. 
Acres and acres of farmland and pasture, and then the little town of
Sturbridge ten miles
up the road where we went to school.  Nothing to do for miles.
	We had gotten tired of sitting inside, and it was too hot to play
basketball or do
anything strenuous, so Tommy suggested we walk down to the pond and fish
for awhile. 
As it turned out all the fish were as far to the bottom as possible, and
they weren't biting
at all.  The surface of the pond where my feet were submerged was easily
eighty-five
degrees, and fish don't like it when it's eighty-five degrees.  To me,
eighty-five seemed
alot nicer than the temperature where we were sitting, which was more like
ninety-eight.  
	Tommy's baritone words broke the muggy silence.  "It's hot as
fuck."
	"It's fuckin hotter than fuck," I corrected.  "And I don't think
the fish are too
hungry either."
	"Want another Sprite?" he asked.
	"Yeah."  As he reached into the cooler and handed me a can I
couldn't help
noticing that, for a sixteen year old, he was so well developed.  It was
like, he was so
much a grown man, yet he was still Tommy.  The same dimpling smile, the
same eyes,
the same playfulness that had bonded us together since ninth grade.  But
the past year had
really changed him.  His hands were like paws as he gave me the Sprite. 
They were big
and meaty like my father's and were attached to forearms that were thick
and strong, and
dusted with soft blonde hair.  His shoulders, chest, and biceps were
awesome compared
to anything in our class.  He was sixteen, but could've passed for
eighteen.  Water and
sweat ran down his body in trickling streams, soaking his hair and forming
beads on his
forehead, running down into his brows and down across his temples and then
his
cheekbones.  
	I probably could have smelled him, but the air was too stagnant,
too heavy and
sweet with the smell of honeysuckle which grew along the banks of the
pond.  He lifted
the drink to his mouth, and his lips were pink and full against the can of
Sprite, whose
greenish blue color was no match for Tommy's fine jade eyes.  A Norse god.
 
	He caught me staring and his eyebrows furrowed in a puzzled look. 
"What?"
	"Nothing," I said nonchalantly.  "Nothing."
	"Well," he said, taking another gulp from the can.  "Enough
fucking around in this
heat.  It's too damn hot.  I'm going swimming."
	He stood up on the pier and dove headfirst into the muddy water. 
He shot up to
the surface laughing and sputtering.  "C'mon, Brett!" he yelled, splashing
water towards
the pier.  "It's great!"
	I grinned back and dove in.  The water was nice and cool at the
bottom, and my
chest brushed mud before I decided to come back up.  I planted my feet and
pushed
towards the surface, where Tommy promptly dunked me again.  We horsed
around for a
few minutes, laughing and wrestling like we were still the same kids we
had been when
we had met two years ago.  Boys being boys.  It was always like that with
him, we'd start
acting crazy and I'd momentarily forget, in my fervor to come out on top,
just how badly
I wanted him.  For a brief instant it was just Tommy and me, the two best
friends in the
world, having fun.  The dynamic duo.  
	I finally snared him with his own move, the infamous Tommy-hold
that he had
used on me earlier in the day.  With Tommy ferociously struggling and
attempting to use
the water and mud to his advantage and squirm free, I somehow managed to
get one arm
around his neck in a chokehold and then reached quickly through his legs,
past his
buttocks, and grabbed his crotch with the other hand.  I didn't squeeze
though, I couldn't
do that.  Eventually he gave up, even if I had to dunk him a dozen times
before he did. 
We washed off what mud we could and then collapsed onto the warm grass,
leaning on
each other for strength and completely out of breath.   
	"You know, you're a good man for not grabbing my cods like I
grabbed yours this
morning," he said, his chest still heaving.  "You're a good man, Brett.  A
good man."
	I absently picked at a bunch of wildflowers.  "Aw, cut it out
Tommy, you're
making me blush here," I replied, throwing a weed at him.  "Are you saying
that I'm a
real man now?  I half drown you, so now you admit I'm a real man?  And now
I get some
respect?"
	Tommy looked down at the stump of dandelion weed where it had
fallen across
one nipple.  "Aw, shut up, man.  You know you've always had my respect."
	He rolled over and we both closed our eyes and just lie there for
a while,
breathing.  A minute of silence.  I pretended to be feeling a bit sleepy
and apathetic like
Tommy seemed to be.  To me the silence was hell.  I wanted to know what he
was
thinking.
	I spoke to change the subject.  "That water sure felt good."
	"I told you it felt good.  It felt good as fuck," he mumbled.
	"It was good, but I wouldn't say it was as good as a fuck," I told
him, crossing my
hands behind my head and looking at the clouds.  They were thick cumulus
clouds, and
they drifted slowly on some far away breeze that couldn't be felt here.
	"Well, it could be good as a fuck, if we had some girls out here. 
I could use some
pussy right about now," he commented, rubbing his crotch through the wet
denim.  "I'd
fuck the hell out of any bitch, right here in this grass, right now."  
	He never lost that showy machoistic front, even though it was just
the two of us. 
None of the other guys from school were here.  No need to be like them,
Tom. 
	He rolled over onto his stomach and closed his eyes, obviously
entertaining some
vague fantasy.  I looked over at him, the jeans were clinging tightly to
his wet ass.  His
buttocks flexed and moved and a smile spread across his face.
	I longingly stared at the wet body sprawled out on the grass, and
wished more
than anything I could step into his daydream.  Here and there mud was
smeared in small
streaks on his jeans, on his smooth skin, tight with adolescent muscle.
	Oh, Tommy, if you only knew.
	Our bodies were close, our arms almost touching.  "Brett?" he
said, opening his
eyes to look at me.  
	"Yeah?" I answered, trying to sound drowsy and uninterested.  God,
his eyes
were so beautiful.  His face wore that same goofy, sexy grin that had so
endeared him to
me since the first day we met.
	He propped himself up on one elbow, facing me.  Then the grin was
gone. 
Suddenly his expression grew serious and I knew that something was wrong. 
I sat up
and lay my chin on my hands and looked up at him.  Tommy spoke, the words
slow and
awkward.  "You know, there's been something on my chest for a while now,
Brett.  I just
wanna tell you something.  Don't think this is stupid or anything.  I just
want to say that
I'm...I'm...glad that we met, man.  Please don't think I'm stupid for
saying this, but
I'm...glad you're my buddy," he said softly.  "I mean, there's not many
guys out there who
have a friend like you.  Somebody they could tell anything to, you know? 
Somebody
who they can trust, and talk to, and hang out with, and just hang with all
the time and
never get tired of being with em."
	I gave him a confused look, but inside my heart was melting. 
"What do you
mean, Tom?"
	"I guess what I'm trying to say is...oh, god, guys are only
supposed to say this to
each other when they're drunk, I mean..."
	"What, bro?  Go ahead, you can tell me anything."
	"What I'm trying to say is...I really love you, man.  I mean it. 
I love you like I do
my own brother, but I love you even more, because you're like, the best
friend I ever had. 
Does that sound stupid?"
	"No. No, dude.  Not at all.  I mean, I feel that way about you,
too.  I've always
liked you, man, since the first day you came to our school."  
	"Yeah, and I always liked you too...I mean, you're always there
for me.  None of
the guys at school are like you, Brett.  They're just a lot
of...of...nothing, you know? 
They're so fake.  They're always trying to talk the talk and act so big
and bad, but you,
you're different.  You've always acted just like yourself, and you're not
afraid to talk to
people, you know, really talk and get serious.  I can talk to you about
things that would
just be impossible to talk about with the other guys at school.  I can
totally be myself
around you.  I can be myself even more than I can in my own house around
my own
parents and brother.  I...I...just wanted you to know that."
	"Oh god, Tommy," I whispered, putting my arms around his
shoulders.  "You
didn't have to tell me all this, man.  I mean, I know how much you mean to
me, and I've
always assumed that I was as much to you.  How else could we put up with
each other
for so long?"
	"I dunno, man.  I dunno," he whispered, shaking his head.  "Geez,
we sound like
two fucking queers, man.  Talking about 'I love you' and shit..."
	The corners of his mouth began to twitch and he looked down at the
ground.  A
single tear rolled down his face and fell into the grass.  Then the dam
broke, and he began
to sob, choking on his own tears.  His body was shaking as his soul
emptied itself with
his words.  He buried his face into my shoulder as the tears kept coming. 
"Brett...oh,
man...if it hadn't have been for you when I broke up with Karen...oh god,
I don't know
what I would have done..."
	I stroked his hair and patted him solidly on his back and told him
he didn't need to
cry.  Tommy, my pitiful Tommy.  He was laying on top of me now, his arms
wrapped
around my neck and his head against my chest.  I loved him.  I loved him
so much and
now I was crying too, because here he was, this guy, my best friend; the
one thing that
meant the most to me in the whole world; this beautiful sixteen year old
green-eyed god
who was so much a man, and he was sobbing like a child against my chest. 
	
	I wrapped my arms around him and he held me tightly against him. 
He looked up
with tears welling in his beautiful eyes and smeared down his cheeks, and
we looked at
each other for a long moment and we kissed.
	We kissed.
	Then he was pulling away, sudden, frantic movements. His brows
were furrowed
in confusion, his eyes full of panic.  His mouth opened but no sound was
coming out of
it, his chest was heaving with turmoil, conflicting emotions. 
"N-n-n-n-no!" he finally
stuttered.  A heart wrenching moan escaped his lips, rising ever louder in
intensity until it
was like one huge bellowing cry, wrested from the pits of his stomach,
from the depths of
his soul.  "Oh my god," he cried, sobbing in spasms, "What have I done???"
	I grabbed his wrists and kept him from running away, and he tried
to push me
away.  His face was twisted in agony and stained with tears.  "Tommy!" I
yelled, trying
to coax reason back into his face.  "TOMMY!!!"
	I barked the word into his face, and almost flinched.  The
authority of reason.  He
felt my pleading gaze on his face and finally looked at me.  The guilt
began to flow again. 
"Oh god!!! I'm so sorry Brett!  I'm so sorry!  Oh god..."  Grief and fear
strained his voice.
	"Shhh, Tommy, it's alright," I said gently, running my hands down
his face and
arms.
	He pushed me away.  "Oh, god, Brett, I'm so sorry... I didn't ever
mean for you to
know...I didn't want you to know, even with all the things I said.  I
meant it all, but
this...oh, god, I didn't mean for you to know about me..."
	"Know what?" I asked.
	"That I'm...that I...I...that I really DO love you, Brett.  I love
you in more ways
than one.  For years now, that's all I ever thought about.  Even when
Karen came along,
she couldn't take my mind off you.  And when I found out about her and
that other
guy...what horrified me was not that she didn't love me; it was that I
really didn't care if
she didn't love me.  All I ever wanted was you.  It was always you, Brett,
and I could
never have you because you were always so...so...straight."
	"But you were wrong!" I yelled, a huge smile spreading across my
face as I
realized the meaning of his confession.  "You were so wrong!  All of this
time...and if I
had only known!"
	"What??? You mean..."
	"Yes!"
	He stood there with the most dumbfounded look I've ever seen on a
man, and he
was just so damned cute, I jumped on him with both arms outspread.
	"Oh, god I love you, Tommy!" I said, kissing him with such
frenzied aggression
that I surprised myself.  
	He awoke quickly from his stupor and began to kiss me back,
opening his lips
and shoving his big tongue into my mouth.  His kisses were so tender, so
full of emotion
that I couldn't stop crying.  Tommy was shaking in my arms, running his
hands
frantically all over my body.  I felt his warm breath in my mouth and his
tongue was so
sweet, it was almost unbearable.  The feel of his body overwhelmed my
senses till I
though I would go crazy.  I was crazy.  There was only one thing I wanted
now, and
Tommy had already thought of it.  He pulled away and began to rip his
jeans off.  
	"Lose the jeans!" he yelled breathlessly.  "Take them off! Uh! I
want to feel you
Brett, I want to feel your body against mine.  God, you're so hot.  I want
to make love to
you.  I want to fuck your brains out, now, right now.  Oh god, yes!  Yes!"

Part Four:  Tommy Gets It

	I had barely pulled my jeans down past my knees when he tackled
me.  Knocked
to the ground flat on my back.  I frantically struggled to kick the pants
off as his mouth
attacked mine with the hell-bent passion of a starving man, raping and
seducing me with
his tongue, hungrily pressing me to the ground.  We were both starving
men.  I was
starving, starving for his body.  I wanted it.  Bad.
	He was still wearing a pair of wet Calvin Klein boxer briefs, and
as I ran my
hands over the smooth muscles of his lower back I slipped both hands
underneath the
elastic to feel his buttocks.  They were smooth and quivering as we ground
our bodies
against each other.  Our chests rubbed together and his flesh was smooth
with hard
adolescent muscle.  Wet skin against skin.  We rubbed each other and
prepared to fuck.
	My dick was completely rigid underneath the thin wet cotton of my
briefs, and as
he ground his crotch against mine I could feel the heat and the hardness
of his dick.  He
moved down to suck on my neck.  The soft, wet lips were everywhere,
sometimes
seductive, brushing, teasing;  sometimes rough as he nipped the skin with
this teeth.  He
sucked and licked all over my ears, his hot breath sent shivers rushing
through my body.  
	"Tommy," I moaned.  I said his name over and over again till it
pounded itself in
my brain in sync with the grinding of our hips.  
	He wrapped his arms around me in a powerful bear hug and our legs
entwined
themselves together.  I kissed him like he was kissing me, kissing his
beautiful face, his
nose, his eyelashes, but always returning to the wetness of his lips and
the hot cavern of
his mouth.  He licked my face playfully and I smiled and kissed him again.
 And again. 
And again and again until I wanted more, more than his mouth and his
beautiful green
eyes.
	I grabbed at the waistband of his underwear and tried to push it
down and off.  He
realized what I was doing and then rolled over to help me.  The Calvins
came off and I
swallowed hard.  There was his cock, erect and begging for attention.  It
was about seven
inches and cut to perfection, topping off his sack which was swollen with
a set of nuts the
size of plums.  His pubic hair was a shade darker than the blonde mop on
his head, and
took that strawberry blonde to its extreme.  It was curly and golden, and
caught the sun
spectacularly while throwing off highlights of copper and red.  The golden
fleece of an
Argonaut's desire and the body of a god.  
	I reached down to quickly remove my own white Jockeys, but Tommy
made a
flying leap for me again, so I just reached down and ripped them off.  We
kissed again,
naked and close, but I wanted something more.  We rolled over so I was on
top.
	I wanted his cock.  I wanted to make him bust a nut right in my
face, spew his
thick white Tommy spunk all over me.  I broke off our kiss and moved down,
pausing
momentarily to suck and bite his hard nipples, to run my hands over his
sides while I
licked the hard rippling flesh of his stomach.  It was smooth and hot, but
I could feel his
dick pressing achingly against my chest.  I moved my face down and looked
at it, hard
and pulsing with precum foaming at its tip.  
	I wanted it.  I wanted to take it in my mouth.  To suck it, to
whip him into a
passionate frenzy and then feel him cum, spew his nuts right into my
mouth.  I wanted to
taste him.  To taste Tommyspunk.  
	He grunted softly as I took the head between my lips and into my
mouth. 
	"Aw fuck!" he moaned.  "Brett...yes, blow me, please.  Ungh! 
Yeah...oh, fuck..." 
He was biting his bottom lip, moaning softly with his eyes closed.  He
played with my
ears and ran his fingers through my hair.  I kneaded his butt cheeks with
my hands, and
felt them clench as I went down on his cock and licked the head.
	I reached down with my hand and began to stroke my cock.  Our
bodies were
covered in sweat and my hand slipped up and down its length without
difficulty.  Tommy
was so damned hot.  His skin of his dick was soft and it was warm and
throbbing in my
mouth.  I licked around the swollen head and felt his body squirm with
pleasure.
	"Brett," he moaned, "wait."  His eyes opened and he sat up.  "I
want to blow you
too, man.  Lemme suck your dick."
	He pushed my mouth away long enough to move between my legs so
that we
were sixty-nining.  I felt his breath on my nuts and I flinched.  Then I
felt his wet mouth
on my dick and gasped.  Oh, god, I couldn't stand it.  It was driving me
up the wall.  I
closed my eyes and saw colors.  Flashing lights. 
	"Fuck..." I groaned hoarsely.  "Oh god, Tommy, man... oh fuck..."
	He gripped my head with the thick muscles of his thighs and
squeezed.  "Oh yes,"
he screamed around my cock, "Fuck, yes!"
	I looked at his face, sucking my dick with his eyes closed, his
face screwed up in
passion.  I saw the hollow that formed in his cheeks as he sucked, the
bulging of his
temples as his jaw moved up and down.  Then I closed my eyes as I felt the
instinct in
him take over and he begin to grind his hips.  I did the same, grinding
against his face,
fucking his hot, wet mouth for all its worth.  
	He was grunting now, soft gutteral "oh"s and "uh"s as the tempo of
our fucking
increased.  "Brett...oh...oh... I think I'm about to come," he gasped
around the thick length
of cock.  He groaned.  "I'm gonna cum...yeah...oh, *fuck* I'm gonna
cum!!!"
	I grinned around his big Tommydick, feeling at the same time my
own orgasm
rush to the surface.  I knew his was coming too.  I felt the ferocity of
his thrusts and felt
his muscles tighten, his butt cheeks clench together.  I sucked harder and
heard him
whimper as he pumped his whole load into my mouth.  It was sticky and
thick, and I
swallowed it.  As I tasted hot Tommyspunk I lost control and shot my wad
all in his
mouth.  His dick was still twitching and spasming in my mouth, and it
spewed giant
amounts of cum in huge, sticky wads into my mouth and throat.
	I must have cummed forever.  
	Then after we finished, he threw his arms around me and we hugged
each other
roughly, like boys.  He licked my face playfully and I told him that I
loved him.  We
began to play rough and we wrestled and fucked in the mud by the pond.  We
sucked
dick and jacked each other off everywhere: on the pier, in the water, in
the cab of his
truck.
	It was late afternoon before we were finally tired of fucking each
other.  I wan't
tired of his body, but my all of my cum was in his stomach and on his
face.  The sun had
become red and swollen on the horizon, painting the sky fiery orange.  The
first of the
night breezes had begun to blow.  It was cool, and it caressed out naked
bodies as we lay
in the cool grass by the water, sleeping contentedly.  I looked at him
lying there with his
head on my chest, his breath teasing one nipple.  His fair hair was gently
ruffled by the
breeze, and I smoothed it back out of his eyes.  I stroked the back of his
neck and his arm
tightened around my waist.  "I love you, Brett," he said softly without
opening his eyes.
	"Go back to sleep, Tommy," I whispered.  "I love you, too."

Part Five: Starry Night

	Tommy opened his eyes slowly and smiled as memories of what had
just
happened came back to him in a flood.  
	"Brett," he breathed, hugging the other boy from where he lay
sleeping in
Tommy's arms.
	The dark headed boy stretched and opened his large brown eyes,
mirroring
Tommy's own just-had-it smile.  Except it wasn't the morning after, the
stars were still
shining brightly overhead and the sounds of the Southern summer night
wafted along the
breeze.  Though the sun was long gone, the night still wrapped itself in a
warm blanket of
summer, and this heat made crickets sleepy and hushed their song. 
Somewhere on the
banks of the pond a treefrog chirped, and then paused for a moment and was
silent. 
Tommy could hear the other boy's breathing.  If he only listened hard
enough, he knew
he could hear the beating of his heart.  
	The only other sound was the whispering of the midnight breeze as
it caressed
pine branches, softly whispering the beautiful language of inconstant
things.  The same
breeze playfully tousled Brett's sable locks and brushed lightly across
their naked bodies.  
 	"Some night, huh?"  Brett whispered.
	"Yeah... yeah, it is."  He was at a total loss for words.  The
night was so dark, so
beautiful.  He didn't want to talk.
	"I don't... regret... what I've done."  Brett closed his eyes and
rolled over onto his
back.  "I mean, you don't have any second thoughts about it, do you?  You
don't regret
that we said all that stuff to each other.  All that... stuff."
	"No," Tommy answered.  "Not at all.  I meant everything I said."
	"It wasn't just because you were drunk or anything?"
	"How could I have been drunk?  I was drinking Sprite, Brett."
	"Oh.  Yeah, it was Sprite.  I though we had brought down something
else in the
cooler.  This afternoon... it just didn't seem real."
	Tommy rolled over to stare at him sideways.  "There are lots of
things that can
make you drunk.  Not just alcohol.  You can get a buzz off lots of stuff. 
Getting fucked
up off a roller coaster.  Getting really mad at something.  Sometimes
you're with a girl
and she's just so awesome that just looking at her makes you high; kissing
her makes you
dizzy.  You can fall in love and it'll make you so intoxicated that you
can't think straight. 
Love can make you do crazy things.  To wake up and realize that you love
somebody. 
That's crazy shit, man."
 	Brett's eyes were still clenched shut.  He was thinking.
	"We were acting that way because the truth finally came out. 
Sometimes the truth
can make people do crazy things, too."
	"What is the truth, Tommy?  Tell me.  What's the truth?"
	He could feel his jaw trembling.  "I told you the truth this
afternoon, Brett."
	Brett opened his eyes and looked at him.  "It's just I don't think
what we did was
crazy, Tommy.  It felt RIGHT to me.  I've wanted that for so long and, it
was just
RIGHT.  I'm not saying that I didn't mean everything I said this
afternoon.  I meant it.  I
meant it all."
	"Then why are you doing this?  Why are you questioning me?  What I
went
through this afternoon wasn't easy.  I had to face up to it.  I meant
every word I said
because hearing myself actually say those words was hell.  It hurt.  I
mean, dammit Brett! 
I've tried to kid myself and cover it all up.  At times I could actually
believe it wasn't true. 
But whenever you'd sleep over, most of the time I couldn't get to sleep
because you were
in the bed beside me and I couldn't think about anything else.  Then I
knew.  I'd wake you
up because I couldn't go to sleep and we'd lay in bed and talk for hours
and hours about
everything; football, school, our parents, girls and sex even. We'd always
talk until we
fell asleep.  I always knew the way I felt about you.  How can you ask
these questions? 
Brett, how can you say something like that?  Did I mean what I said?  Oh
god, did I mean
what I said???"  He thought he was about to cry.
	Brett lay there in pitiful silence.  "I didn't mean it that way,
man.  I'm just... I'm
just too fuckin uncertain about all of this.  I don't feel GUILTY about
it.  It's not guilt. 
It's just that I've wanted to have this for so long, now that I have it...
it scares me.  It
scares the shit out of me, Tommy.  We've been best friends for so long. 
Now it's
different cause we're not the same kind of friends anymore."
	Tommy was didn't speak for awhile.  He rubbed an eye with his
wrist and then
crossed his arms across his chest.  "It's not going to change, Brett," he
told him flatly. 
"We'll just keep it on the DL.  No telling anybody.  I wouldn't want it
any other way. 
Would you?"
	"No," Brett answered.  "You're right, Tom.  Nobody needs to know. 
My world's
been shaken enough as it is.  I'm surprised that the sky's not falling on
my head.  He gave
a signature Brett smirk.  His dark eyes danced.  "Okay with you, Chicken
Little?"
	Tommy smiled back.  "Yeah.  I agree totally.  Not a word.  And we
have to act
the same around each other as we always have.  No faggot crap in front of
the school." 
He winced a little at that last sentence.  "Sorry Brett," he apologized. 
"That sounded
kinda rough.  But that's the way we've got to think about it.  That's the
way most of the
school sees it.  That's the way most of the world sees it.  We've got a
huge charade to put
on, and we need to stay in character as best we can.  When school starts
in another few
weeks, it's going to be a full-time job."
	Brett nodded.  "We should keep screwing around with girls too. 
That's probably
the easiest way to keep away any rumors.  Who knows, we could even get
some nice
three-ways going..."
	Tommy smiled mischeiviously.  "You're a pervert, Brett."
	"Shut the fuck up, geek.  It's a good idea."
	"I have to admit, bro, it's a very good idea..."
	"I know you think it's a good idea, Tommy, because your dick's
getting bigger by
the second."
	"You're sporting a nice hard-on yourself..."
	

TOMMY (m/m)

Part Six: First Party of Fall

	The crew cut boy sat quietly on the couch, an island of calm in
the loud, mindless
ocean of the party.  He was wearing a pair of worn khaki pants, cuffed at
the bottoms
above Timberland hiking boots.  He wore his navy Tommy Hilfiger crew shirt
with two
buttons open at the throat, revealing the collar of a white T-shirt and a
cheap silver
necklace on black rope string, probably bought for a couple of dollars on
a summer
vacation trip to Panama City Beach.  
	He didn't look like he was enjoying himself very much.  The boy
sighed and ran
one hand through his hair.  It was jet black and cut close and short.  It
spiked a little on
top as a result of gel and was reminiscent of Simon Rex, the MTV vee-jay. 
Typical
jockish facade, this boy, legs wide apart and expression totally
apathetic.  Probably strung
out on weed.  Or maybe just bored. 
	His observer, another boy, also tall and dark, watched him
casually from the
corner of the room.  He leaned gracefully against a wall and propped one
arm on a giant
black speaker.  Personally, this boy thought it was a great party; a party
made even better
by the appearance of the crew cut on the couch, who was obviously new to
the local
social scene.  Not surprising really.  This was, after all, the Friday
before the start of a
new school year.  
	There would probably be quite a few new people hanging around
school.  With
the public schools in Atlanta getting worse and worse, people were moving
out to
Daviston by the dozens.  There, only a few miles beyond the suburbs, life
was more or
less as it has been for the past fifty years.  People raised horses and
worked their
vegetable gardens on the weekends, and drove to work in Atlanta during
weekdays. 
They still didn't lock their doors at night, or install complicated house
or car alarms.  In
Daviston and its outlaying rural areas, land was still passed down through
family lines,
and having a daddy with a trusted family name was all you really needed to
be respected
and trusted.  It was the South, as the South had always been and always
will be.  
	The New Kids, as they were referred to at school, were almost
always different,
speaking in standard American monotones and being born with an inherent
lack of
honesty or pride.  Daviston was the land of football and contact sports,
where girls are
expected to be pretty and athletic and where boys are shaped by sports and
the nature that
surrounds them into muscular, arrogant things who are usually tanned to a
deep bronze
by mid-June, a result of spending half their waking summer hours with
their shirts off.  
	Generally the weak and pasley city emigrants didn't fare very
well, but
occasionally there was one with a chatty sense of humor and a bit of
determined loyalty
about them, and these were accepted into the ranks and became true,
beloved citizens of
Daviston and the South, an acceptable prom date for Jason Jock or Susy
Sweet-as-Peach-
Pie.  Sometimes this happened.  
	And to Brett Davenport, the hazel eyed, dreamy star pitcher of the
Daviston High
School baseball team, this boy certainly had potential.  Even if he was a
real bastard, the
girls would have to love him because he was so damned gorgeous.  
	Brett was trying desperately to hear his voice or pick up on his
conversation.  The
only thing was, from his vantage point across the room, he was being
totally deafened by
a huge speaker which was blaring 'No Doubt' like it was the gospel of
Christ.  The
speaker went down to a low bass note and he felt his stomach vibrate
sickeningly.  He
decided not to finish his vodka and orange juice after all.
	He saw the boy's mouth move as he reluctantly conversed with
Jessica Stellers,
the class whore, whose pink and puke green vinyl outfit clashed horribly
with her red
hair.  Brett could tell the boy wasn't too impressed, though he continued
to listen
helplessly as she crossed and uncrossed her legs and made wild gestures
with blue
chrome fingernails.
	Never mind Jessica.  Fuck Jessica.  That boy... that boy was just
TOO nice.  No,
no, no-  forget nice.  He was, without a doubt, very, v-e-r-y tasty.
	On the couch, he was a cool angel next to all that pink vinyl
gaudiness, one of
those guys who immediately commands your attention with subtle, liquid
movements and
dreamy gazes.  Over the summer, Brett had worked for three weeks in an
electronics
store for his aunt's new husband.  The store was deserted most of the
time, except on
weekends, and he had watched a lot of daytime television.  His favorite
soap was "Days
of Our Lives," and he knew now who the crew cut boy looked like.  Austin
Peck. 
Carrie's boyfriend on the show.  That was it.  
	Even now, so clearly uncomfortable, the boy fidgeted with the
unnerving, careless
grace usually reserved for athletes and aristocracy.  His mannerisms were
so absorbing,
so fluid and filled with lazy, reserved strength that they were
hypnotizing, like the
movements of a panther under a strobe light.
	Brett's single-minded absorption wasn't helped by the fact that,
besides all of this,
the boy was also mind-blowingly cute.  A whip-ass fine specimen of a man,
he did have
to admit.  
	The mystery boy sat on the battered sofa with his legs spaced wide
apart, arms
crossed drearily across his chest.  The beginnings of a smile played
hide-and-seek across
his face, disappearing for awhile only to materialize again seconds later
in the form of an
amused grin or a subtle tweaking in the corner of his sensuous mouth.  His
eyes were
gorgeous.  Even from across the room, you could see that they were blue. 
Like the eyes
of Russian royalty or the heavenly cobalt of expensive sapphire.  They
glanced wearily
from Jessica to his bottle of Absolut to a spot on the floor and then back
to Jessica again.    
	'This boy must be saved!'  he thought to himself.  He didn't know
how much
longer he could endure watching him fidget under the lavishings of Jessica
the Whore.
	He had made up his mind to walk over and speak when he felt warm
breath on his
neck and a sweet, curious voice shouting in his ear to be heard over the
sound system. 
"Whassup Brett..."  It was Ashley Jackson, one of his ex-girlfriends and
Brett's most
trusted female pals.  It was almost impossible to make out the words
unless he watched
her lips.  It didn't matter.  They could almost read each other's minds
anyway, they were
so much alike.  It had been with real misgivings that Brett had severed
their relationship
in January of the past year.  Ashley was really one of a kind.  
	He hadn't known she was at the party.  He was glad she had showed
up.
	"Who all are you here with?" she asked, slightly standing on
tip-toe so she could
yell in his ear.  "I saw Matthew, Chase, and Douglas outside."
	"Nope," he answered.  "It's just me and Jeffrey tonight.  We would
have come in
Tommy's black Splash-"
	"He's got a black Splash?" she asked, flipping a mass of blonde
curls over one
shoulder.  "What happened to his other truck?"
	"He traded it in earlier this month.  Anyway, it was muddy so I
came in the Jeep
with Jeffrey."
	"D-Roj?"  Ashley asked.  "Where's he at?  I haven't seen him... 
And where's
Tom?  It's not like him to miss a party.  Especially since you're here."
	"Tommy's at home.  He's sick.  He wanted to go, but he was already
feeling
queasy and he said that he would sure enough be blowing chunks if he had
any alcohol.  I
told him that I'd stay home with him, but he wanted me to go, anyway. 
First party of fall,
y'know.  Jeffrey's out back talking to Haley Boswell, I think.  They're
having 'problems'
again."
	"Jeez, looks like he'd just dump her mousy little butt and get a
real woman.  I
don't see what he sees in her, anyway.  If he treats her like a little
girl, it's because she
acts like one.  She needs to get her ass dumped and get a nice dose of
reality."
	They walked a nearby bathroom and shut the door so they could
talk.
	"So I guess you've been running around with Tommy all summer," she
chided
sweetly.  "I assume y'all haven't been TOO bad.  I didn't hear of anybody
getting arrested,
at least."
	Brett chuckled.  "Nah, we've been good boys.  Didn't do anything
that you
wouldn't want to know about."  He forced a smile after that last sentence.
 It was always
so hard to lie to Ashley.  If only she knew exactly WHAT they had done
over the
summer...
	"Well, you'll have to tell me all about it.  Sorry I haven't been
around to talk to
this summer, but you know...  With my grandmother nuts in Atlanta, I had
to stay there,
or she would have been put in a home.  That Alzheimer is just eating away
at her.  I don't
know how much longer she can hang on.  She's doing a little better now, at
least."
	"I called you as often as I could, you know," Brett reminded her.
	"Yeah," she replied softly.  "I know.  I talked to Danielle alot
too.  She kept me
up to speed on the gang."
	"Good.  Maybe I'll come over tomorrow night and we can talk for
awhile.  There's
a lot of stuff that happened.  A lot of parties and stuff you missed out
on."  He grinned. 
"Some of it will have you rolling on the floor laughing."
	Ashley smiled.  "Sounds good."
	There was a pause.
	"So, I haven't seen Tommy any this summer.  Or any of the Davis
boys, for that
matter.  He's still the same old devil?" she asked.
	Brett smirked.  "You actually think that he's gotten BETTER over
the summer?  If
anything, he's gotten five times worse."
	"Same old Tommy, huh?"
	"Yeah," he answered softly, feeling a knot form in his throat. 
"Same old
Tommy..."
	There was another uncomfortable pause.
	"He got an ear pierced while we were in Panama City.  He got home
and his dad
about had a heart attack.  He told him as long as he was a Davis and lived
under his roof,
he wasn't going to turn into a punk.  Needless to say, I didn't tell MY
dad that I got my
bellybutton pierced."
	"YOU DIDN'T!!!" she gasped, her mouth hanging open.
	"Nah.  Just kidding.  I really didn't," he admitted.  "Were you
scared?"
	"Not really," she said casually.  "I could... probably get used to
it."
	Brett gave her a puzzled look.  "You never cease to surprise me."
	"Thanks," she replied.
	"We've kinda been on a wild streak this summer, I'll admit," he
said, looking at
the ceramic tile to avoid giving away anything else beyond the meaning of
his words. 
Ashley could read his eyes like a book.  If anyone ever found out about
them, it would
probably be Ashley.  "I just barely talked him out of getting his hair
whacked off into a
crew cut.  Then he wanted to bleach the blonde out of it and make it
whiter.  Like some
freak from Green Day.  If I hadn't been there to talk him out of it, he
would probably be a
total mess to look at."
	"Tommy?" she asked skeptically.  "A mess?  I don't think Tommy
could be a
mess no matter what he did to himself.  Tommy's one of those guys who was
just born
with it."
	"What's 'it'?" he asked, humoring her a little.
	She thought for awhile.  "I dunno, exactly.  Like sex appeal or
something?  It's
something more than that though.  It's like, you see him sometimes, and he
just looks so...
so... well, dammit, you just want to run over and fuck him!"
	Brett raised his eyebrows in surprise.  He could relate. 
	"Face it, Brett," she said, "Tommy's just drop-ass fine.  I've
told you this before. 
Don't look so surprised.  And like I said, a crewcut wouldn't look bad on
him.  It's
already short on the back and sides.  And his eyes are gorgeous, anyway."
	Brett poked out his bottom lip.  "I stand corrected."
	"Oh, don't do the pouty face!" she said.  "It's not like you
couldn't hold your own
up against him any day, my little dark-eyed beauty."
	"Okay," he replied.  "But let's talk about something else for
awhile."
	"Okay."
	"Who's that New Boy out there?"
	"What New Boy?" she asked sweetly, her gray eyes wide with
exaggerated
innocence.  
	"You're lying, Ashley.  I can tell these things, you know.  You
know exactly
which boy I'm talking about.  The one on the couch, talking to Jessica
Let-Me-Sit-On-
Your-Face.  You obviously know something about him, or at least you
noticed him.  You
were probably standing behind my back watching HIM before you even saw me
standing
there.  Am I right?"
	To Brett's surprise, she didn't answer.
	"Ashley?"
	"Yes.  I know who he is."
	Brett was confused by her guilty tone.  "Well, who is he?"
	There was silence for a few seconds.
	"Brett, don't be mad at me when I tell you this.  Please, please
don't be upset," she
begged.  "That boy out there... he's from Atlanta.  Oh Brett, I should
have told you this
earlier.  Brett, I-I... I met him in 'Lanta this summer.  We talked, we
did some stuff... 
He's my boyfriend."
	Brett sat there stunned.  "Your... boyfriend???"
	"Your not upset about this are you?  I mean, I still care for you
as a friend, Brett,
your one of my best friends, but we've been broke up since January.  I-I-
saw you staring
at him and I thought that somehow you had found out, Danielle probably...
I didn't know. 
I thought you may have been hurt, so I dragged you in here to tell you. 
You aren't upset
by it are you?"
	It figured that Ashley would find the finest boy in Atlanta and
bring him home
with her.
	He gave a slight, crooked smile.  "Nah.  I'm sure he's great, Ash.
 I'm not mad. 
Why should I be?  I bet he's a great guy.  Maybe he can give you what I
just couldn't give
you, in the end."
	"Oh thank you, Brett!" she exclaimed, giving him a first rate hug.
 Her soft
breasts pressed against his chest, and he felt a slight stirring in his
groin.  Maybe he was a
bit jealous, after all.  He squeezed her tighter.  "I'm so glad that
you're cool with this," she
said in his ear.  "It means everything to me.  I just know you're going to
love him.  C'mon
and I'll introduce you."
	Brett offered the weak smile again as she opened the door and the
noise of the
party blasted them again with full force.  "I can't wait..."
	He couldn't stay in Daviston forever.  The boy would have to go
back to Atlanta
sooner or later.  It was a whole hour's drive from Daviston to Atlanta
city limits.  Sixty
minutes of time that would be the only barrier between the two of them. 
It would make
anything but weekend visits impossible.  Those sixty minutes were the key
to winning
back Ashley's heart.  
	He and Tommy were an undercover item, sure.  But it was Tommy's
idea that
they should continue to date girls for appearance's sake.  As for
appearances, there was
nobody in the school who Brett would like to appear with more than Ashley
Jackson.
	But first things first.  First Brett had to deal with Crew Cut.

Part Seven:  Romeo

	Flashing lights.  Everywhere.
	Brett winced as the Party washed over him in a flood of sound and
vibration. 
Black lights in the corner and on the ceiling cast an eerie, moon-like
glow on the room's
contents, sharply punctuated by bursts from the strobe light. 
	Then there was that smell, reeking of garlic, that pizza always
seems to emit when
you're too nauseous to eat it.
	Ashley had him by the arm now, weaving her way through the
clusters of people
that had begun to form.  It was almost 9:00.  It could have been 2:00 in
the morning for
all Brett cared.  He wanted to go home.  Go to Tommy's house.
	But no, here he was at a crappy party without Tommy, and being
towed across the
room to meet Ashley's boyfriend.  Did he even believe it yet?  Ashley?  A
boyfriend?
	The crew cut boy smiled as Ashley walked over.
	"Hey babey," he drawled.  "Been wondering where you were."  
	Smooth operator, this one.  This was making Brett sicker than the
pizza.
	"Jason, I want you to meet Brett," she said, beaming.  She smiled
with every
ounce of sweetness in her body.  Like she was enjoying this.
	Brett instinctively stuck out his hand.
	"Hey, Brett," the boy said, smiling.  He had to admit, the boy
could smile. 
Probably a dentist's son.  Made him sick.  Brett smiled in return, turning
up the voltage as
high as it would go and tightening the corners of his mouth to deepen his
dimples as deep
as they would go.  The other boy smiled wider and squeezed his hand
firmly.  
	Damn it.  Crew cut had dimples, too.  Ashley loved dimples.
	Brett broke the handshake.  "So what do you think of Daviston so
far?"
	"Daviston?" he repeated.  "Daviston's great.  I mean, the school,
the people..."  He
grinned sweetly.  "Ashley."  She blushed and sat down on his knee with
both arms
around his neck.  "I really think I'm going to like it here."
	Brett froze.  His eyes flew open.  "Pardon?"
	Ashley was looking sheepishly at the floor.  
	"You're staying here?" Brett repeated.  Couldn't be true.
	"Ashely didn't tell you?"
	Ashley broke in.  "Jason's moving here to Daviston.  His father's
opening a firm
here.  They bought the Old Davis house on the Carolina Road."
	FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!  This couldn't be happening.
	"Your dad's a lawyer?"
	Ashley nodded emphatically.  "Yeah," Jason answered.  
	Just then Jessica the Slut walked over.  "Here, Jason," she
whined, poking out her
bottom lip.  "Here's a screwdriver for the new kid on the block."  She
winked.  Brett
didn't think that Ashley saw it, but Jason sure as hell did, and he
shifted uncomfortably
on the couch.  Jessica walked off.
	Ashley exploded once she was out of ear-shot.  "Who the hell does
she think she
is, Marilyn Monroe reincarnate???  Did you not hear that?  'Here's a
widdle scwew
dwivuh foh my new kid on duh bwock...  Oh, by the way, I also want to fuck
you,
Jason,' " she imitated, throwing her blond hair around in a fit of
outrage.  "Did you tell
her you were my boyfriend?"
	"Yes, Ash, I told her that when she walked up and asked who I
was," he
explained, stroking the back of her neck.  "Besides, I doubt Marilyn
Monroe would be
reincarnated as a fashion victim."
	Ashley smiled prettily as he grabbed her hand.  Brett wanted to be
sick, but he
was still too confused.  
	"Wait!  The Davises sold that house???"  Brett asked.  This was an
entirely valid
question.  Not a subject-changing sentence born of lack of anything else
to say.  "How
did he manage to wrestle the House away from the family?"
	Ashley spoke.  "Jason's mother was a Davis before she married. 
She's originally
from Daviston.  She moved to Atlanta and married his dad while she was at
law school. 
Actually, Jason knows Tommy."
	"We're third cousins," Jason said.
	Ashley again:  "You know they've been fighting about how they're
all going to
split the inheritences.  Jason's father offered to buy the house
altogether.  That makes
things a lot less complicated, and the House still stays in the family."
	Brett was still stunned.  House?  Lawyer?  Tommy?  Cousins?
	A voice called out from across the room.  "Ashley!  Ashleeeeee!" 
A pretty girl
with curly caramel brown tresses and dark skin waved from the doorway. 
Danielle
D'Orseille.  Hard last name to spell, but usually just drawled out as
"Dorsuh" when
spoken.
	"What's UP, girl???" Ashley squealed.
	"C'mere!  Guess who just showed up!" the other girl shouted.
	Ashely looked at the two guys.  "You two just sit here and get
drunk and I'll be
back in a sec."  With a swish of blonde hair and CK perfume, she was gone.
	Brett sat there speechless. 
	 Thankfully crew cut spoke.  "So, Brett.  Ashley's told me alot
about you this
summer."
	"Really?  How much do you know?"
	Crew cut laughed.  It was the roguish chuckle of a small boy. 
"Not a whole lot. 
Y'all went out for a couple of months.  She says you hang out with my
cousin alot.  That
you've been pretty good friends for a few years now.  I used to visit
Daviston a lot when I
was younger.  Your face kinda looks familiar, but I can't say for sure. 
I'm real 'thused
about moving here, getting away from Atlanta and all that.  And of course
Ashley.  She's
the icing on the cake.  I mean, who knew last May that things would work
out like this? 
Pretty weird, huh?"
	Brett could see the Davis in this boy, now that he had a chance to
look at him up
close.  His mannerisms were like Tommy's in their thoughtless, effortless
execution.  His
baritone voice carried through the air easily and was understood even over
the speaker
system.  It was definately the voice of a Davis, words casual and
innocent, but somehow
carrying a weight of importance behind them.  Softly spoken words that
were always
listened to, never dismissed, never ever ridiculed.
	His features were also vaguely familiar.  His lips were like
Tommy's lips, pink
and full, with the bottom lip larger so that any neutral expression on the
part of Jason
made it seem as if he was pouting.  Deja-vu.  His gaze was relaxed, and
carried
ponderous weight and sensitivity behind it.  If his eyes met yours, you
were awed, not by
their smoky cobalt depths, but by the way his gaze seemed to read you like
a book.  And
their jawlines were the same, angular and strong, the temples and jawbone
flexing
sensuously as he chewed a wad of Fruit-a-burst.
	Jason was definately a different guy though.  He wasn't as much
beefcake as
Tommy.  He could play football, Brett thought, but if so, he was
definately a running
back or quarterback.  He was tall, but his build was slighter, more on par
with Brett's
own.  Oh, he was well-cut, no doubt about it; Brett could tell by the
muscle in his
forearms and biceps, the tightness by which the Hilfiger shirt was
stretched across his
upper chest, the muscles in his neck.  But he wasn't a careless animal
like Tommy was,
he was gentler, his sexual drive more subtle.
	Tommy was an Adonis.  Jason was a Romeo.
	He decided that Jason was an alright guy.  Just because he was
going out with
Ashley didn't give Brett a reason to hate him.  If Brett was from Atlanta,
and he saw
Ashley walking down the street, he'd probably go up and talk to her too. 
Besides, crew
cut wouldn't be with Ashley for long, not after Brett turned up the heat. 
He'd be nice to
the boy for now.   
	The City showed in the way he spoke, rapidly, his accent less
definite, swinging
wildly from that of a cracker to a Californian monotone.  "So, is this
what Davistons call
a party?"
	Brett scoffed.  "Well, I will admit, this one sucks pretty bad. 
It seems like
nobody's here.  I mean, first party of fall.  Hello?  Who wouldn't be
here?"
	"Well maybe they just didn't hear about it.  Things will probably
pick up once
school's open."
	Brett thought it was a lousy hypothesis, but he didn't say so.  "I
guess you're
right."  He perked up.  "Next weekend there's going to be a big one.  Over
at one of my
friend's place.  Chase Durham.  He's got a huge cabin up on the lake, and
it's still warm
enough to go swimming.  It's a tradition.  We do it every year."
	"Sounds good."
	"Yeah, it's great.  Their place is huge.  It's got five bedrooms
and a swimming
pool, even though it's on the lake.  There's a humongous porch that runs
from the side of
the house all the way out to the water and turns into a boat house. 
Chase's dad bought
him a brand new Ski Nautique last year.  There are three Sea Doos, too. 
Everybody has a
blast.  It's the second party of fall, but more like the last party of
summer.  We get up
about ten and ride down to the lake with just our swim suits.  Everybody
gets fried off
their asses and everybody's horsing around in the water.  It's the
absolute shit, man."
	"Mad," Jason agreed.
	"Then by about one or two o' clock we've all got the munchies so
we go back up
to the cabin and eat lunch.  Then everybody leaves to go home and get
ready for the
party.  We all show back up at around nine o'clock.  Most everybody that
can just spends
the night.  We had five or six of these things this past summer, but we
either swam duing
the day or just had a party at night.  We never do both in one day until
we're back in
school.  And then..."
	"Can't wait, man.  You'll have to introduce me to this Chase guy. 
Hell, I don't
know anybody around here," Jason grunted.	
	"I dunno, looks like you were getting to know Jessica pretty
well..." 
	Jason rolled his eyes.  "Oh god, I didn't think I was ever going
to get away from
her.  I sent her off to get a drink and then y'all showed up.  I couldn't
have been happier
to see my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend."
	"I'll bet," Brett replied.  "You'd think that she got laid all the
time, what with her
being such a slut.  But really, the good guys around here won't touch her.
 We all stopped
fucking her after eighth grade, when we found out just how nasty she was."
	Jason laughed.  "Really?  You were all fucking her in the eighth
grade?"
	"Absolutely!  I think we would have fucked her sooner, but our
dicks just weren't
big enough yet!"
	Jason's boyish laugh was getting infectious now.  Brett was
cracking up just
thinking about it.  "Yeah, Jase, okay, check it out, we all fucked her all
at one time.  Like,
gang banged her, but it wasn't rape, because she asked us to do it."
	"All at one time?  You're lyin, man!"
	"No, I swear.  It was five of us, all spending the night over at
Tommy's house.  It
was his birthday, I think, which means it was the last weekend in July. 
It was me,
Tommy, Matthew and Chase Durham, they're cousins, and Will Farlough. 
You'll met em
all later, but don't tell em I told you this.  Anyway, we're camping out
in the backyard,
right? just us guys, all in this tent.  And of course we're talking about
pussy, because
that's all thirteen year-old's think about.  When who do we hear outside
the tent?  Jessica
the Whore.  We didn't know she was such a slut then, all we knew was she
was a great
girl with nice tits who'd let you French kiss her when you played spin the
bottle, and
who'd rub her hands all over your crotch when you played 'seven minutes in
heaven.' "
	Jason was smiling so Brett continued.  "So anyway, she lived right
across the road
from Tommy, and saw our camp fire and decided to come over to see if she
could get
some dick.  I mean, with five 13 year old studs like us all in one place,
what 'ho'e could
resist?  She beats on the tent door and says, 'Let me in,' so we let her
in.  She asks us
what we were talking about and we kind of blushed, but Tommy, never the
shy one, says,
'Well, you know, Jessica, we were just talking about eatin fat puss and
how fuckin good
it tastes.' "
	Jason was laughing again.  "Sounds like Tommy."
	"Yeah.  Well, we all cracked up because we couldn't believe he had
said
something like that to a girl.  But she didn't say anything, but just
smiled and asked us if
we had ever tasted a girl's cunt and we admitted that we hadn't.  I guess
Chase's rocks
were about to explode in his pants, because he just point out blank asked
her if he could
eat her out."
	"What'd she say?"
	"She said 'sure.'  What did you think she would say.  I should add
at this point that
Tommy's parents were not at home, they were gone to Atlanta and were going
to see the
late movie and probably wouldn't be home till 12:30 or 1:00.  Chase asked
her if she
wanted to go outside behind the house or in the house, but she said that
she wanted him
to eat her out there, in the tent, so all of us could watch."
	"Aw, man!"
	"Yeah, it was crazy.  She wasn't drunk or anything.  She pulled
off her pants,
spread her legs, and told Chase to lick.  I think he nutted all in his
pants.  Hell, we were
all about to."
	"What happened next?" Jason asked, still grinning.
	"We all five lost our virginity at one time."
	Jason was silent for a moment.  "Whoa."
	"Whoa is right," Brett answered.  "But that's Jessica for you.  I
think it was a kind
of bonding experience for us all or some shit.  All shooting our wads in
there one after
the other.  We've all been best friends ever since.  Tommy was the last
one in.  He was
the one that made her cum, if you want to know.  Which you probably don't.
 I'm just
warning you about Jessica.  She's not right, man.  If you're moving here,
you'll probably
hear the story several times.  Everybody in the school knows about it."
	"I bet that bitch is loose as all fuck," Jason offered.  "Now."
	"You don't know HOW loose!  She came to school one day bragging
that she
could take a whole fist."
	Jason shook his head.  Then he grinned.  He balled his hands
together into two
fists and began to jab in an upward motion.  "Look, Brett.  Fingering
Jessica."
	Brett laughed.  "No, no, wait-"  He mimicked Jason's gestures,
then flattened his
fists out and began to clap his hands.  "C'mon in here with me, Jason!" he
shouted,
laughing so hard he could barely talk.  "C'mon and clap.  I'm still not
hitting sides.  Do
you feel that, Jessica."
	Jason was shaking with laughter.  "I see why she needs five guys."
	They sat together for a few minutes.  "Oh man," Brett said, wiping
tears from the
corners of his eyes.  Jason was so easy to talk to and joke around with. 
It was like they
had known each other for years.  Jason reminded him so much of Tommy, he
was even
beginning to like the guy.
	Until he spoke again.  "I feel kinda weird asking you this, man,
but you're pretty
cool about things like this.  Did you ever hit it alot?  With Ashley I
mean."
	Brett didn't say anything.  He felt his cheeks flush as his
laughter and good spirits
began to turn to anger.  Had he hit it alot with Ashley?  What kind of
creep was this?  It
didn't matter if he had hit it or not with Ashley.  He had, of course, but
that wasn't the
point.  He loved Ashley.
	"Brett?  Did I say something wrong?  Are you buggin?"
	"I don't think I'm the one you need to be asking that.  All of
that's in the past, and
it's between Ashley and me.  I don't know exactly who you are, Jason, or
what the
prevailing 'attitude' is in Atlanta.  But here in Daviston it's different.
 There are certain
girls you can fool around with once or twice and then drop like a used
rubber.  Then there
are the other girls.  Ashley is one of these girls.  It's okay to fool
around with them if
you're their boyfriend and you really care for her.  But to ask if she's
easy?  I can't answer
that question.  Hell no, she's not a slut, if that's what you're asking." 
  
	Brett felt his temper boil higher and higher, the pressure
building.  "Ashley's one
of my best girl friends and its the same with all of the other guys. 
She's like my SISTER,
man.  If any of the other guys heard you say that, do you know what they'd
do?"
	Brett snorted viciously.  "You'd think twice about ever LOOKING at
another girl
in our school.  But I'm a nice guy.  I kinda like you, Jase, so I'm giving
you a little break
here.  Help me out.  You're not just using her for her cunt, are you?  Are
you???"
	Crew cut had his jaw clenched together stubbornly.  "I didn't mean
it like that."
	"Oh, shut the fuck up!!!" Brett yelled, jumping out of his chair
and stabbing the
air with two fingers.  "You.. you," he was breathing hard now, knew he was
about to lose
it.  "You so much as lay a hand on her, you little motherfucking
cuntlicker, and I'm gonna
KICK YOUR ASS in front of the whole school and send your limp dick back to
the City
in a box!"  
	He stopped as he turned to walk off.  Those two condeming fingers
were pointed
at Jason again, who was still sitting tight-lipped on the couch.  "Don't
fuck with me,
motherfucker!  Don't you touch Ashley!  Cross me and the Davenports and
you'll be
whacking yourself off every Friday night for the rest of your life!" 
	And with that he turned and stormed out of the room.

	Ashley saw Brett as he walked out the door.  His strides long and
determined and
his face was set in an arrogant snarl.  Looked mad.  Extremely so.  His
light hazel eyes
were on fire.
	"Brett!" she called as he brushed by her shoulder.  "Brett, what's
wrong?"
	He barely paused on his way out.  "Nothing.  I'm just peachy."
	"Are you going home?"
	"No.  But we have to talk.  Call Tommy's line as soon as you get
home.  We have
to talk."  Then he walked out.
	Huh.  Something had made him mad.
	Oh God.  
	It must have something to do with Jason.  She never should have
left them alone. 
Damn it, Danielle.  She walked swiftly across the house to the living
room.
	Jason was standing in front of the couch downing a screwdriver in
huge, greedy
gulps.  He looked at her with cat eyes, his narrowed gaze probing and
cool.
	"What was wrong with Brett?" she demanded.
	"I think-  something must've made him sick.  He said he didn't
feel too hot."
	"Well he sure did LOOK hot," she asserted.  "He looked pissed off
at the world."
	"What did he tell you?" he asked.  "Is he going home?"
	"No," she answered.  "To Tommy's house.  Why?"
	"I dunno.  He was just acting kinda strange, like he was tripping
out on
something.  I was just wondering..."
	"Well, he was kinda red in the face.  But Brett... it's not like
him to trip out on
anything but a little weed now and then.  Maybe he's getting sick from
that bug that
Tommy had.  Anyway, I'm going to call him as soon as I get home.  I'll
check on him
then."
	Jason looked uncomfortable.  "I was planning to stay kind of late,
babey.  There's
a lot of people that I haven't even talked to yet."
	"Okay.  Whatever, Jase.  I guess I can call him from the car phone
in an hour or
so."
	Jason swallowed hard.  "Whatever, Ash.  So he was going to Tommy's
house? 
Why is he going there when Tommy wasn't even at the party tonight?  And
you said
Tommy's sick anyway..."
	"Oh, they stay at each other's houses twenty-four/ seven.  It's
always been like
that."  She noticed his eyes were narrowed in concentration on something,
his expression
thoughtful and curious.
	"All the time, you say?"
	"Just about.  Why?  Does it seem strange to you?  You've just got
to see the two
of them together to understand.  They're inseperable."
	"Huh," he muttered.  She was saying something else, something
about Danielle's
friend Courtney, blah, blah, blah...  Her voice faded into the background
of his thoughts. 
He was staring vaguely off into the distance, towards the door through
which Brett had
departed.  He rubbed his face thoughtfully and bit his bottom lip. 
	Jason interrupted her didactic monologue.  "Inseperable," he
breathed.
	Ashley cocked her head.  "What'd you say?"
	Jason shrugged.  "Nothing, Ash.  Nothing.  Let's go get something
to drink.  I'm
thirsty."



I know this part didn't have any sex in it, and as an erotic story it
really ought to, but trust
me, it's all getting there.  With this story I'm trying to accomplish what
most "suck-and-
fuck" stories don't, and that's the concept of PLOT.  So bear with me
through the parts
that don't have a lot of muscle and sweat and moaning.  What started out
as a simple
suck-and-fuck has evolved into something much bigger.  These characters
have become
very real and dimensional, and it seems that with bisexual characters,
there's the
possibility of not only love triangles, but larger geometric relationships
such as love
octagons as well!  I think that if this story ever gets finished, you'll
all be pleasantly
surprised.  

The preceding parts have been previously posted to this newsgroup and will
be reposted
within the next few weeks.  However, if you missed everything that's
happened in Parts 1
thru 6, everything else is going to pretty much suck and isn't going to
make alot of sense. 
The first four parts can be found archived on the Nifty archives on the
web.  Once again,
keep the suggestions and constructive criticism coming.

TOMMY (m/m)
by matthew shakespeare

Part Eight:  After the Quake, Plus a Few Aftershocks

	Brett slammed the door of the Pathfinder wearily and walked up the
Davis Street
town house.  Tommy's house, Brett thought.  
   	Though lacking the imposing, whitewashed facade of the Davis House
on
Carolina Road, it was nonetheless quite impressive.  Four  slender brick
columns lined
the front portico, reaching up to the roof of the second floor and
brushing past the
upstairs veranda.  There was another, smaller veranda on the other side of
the house, and
from it you could look across the valley on a clear night and see
Daviston's single traffic
light.  Two chimneys, one from the living room fireplace and one from the
study's,
framed the roof like two book-ends.  
	Brett could see that the living room light was on, so maybe Tommy
was up.  His
parents were surely asleep by this time of night, which was good.  Brett
knew he was
technically an uninvited guest, and no doubt Mr. and Mrs. Davis would be
surprised to
find Brett at their breakfast table the following morning, but they
probably wouldn't care. 
They were used to it by now.  
	He wished that the J-Boy would hurry up and get home.  He
explained things to
Jeffrey as he left, and Tommy's older brother had told him not to worry,
he would catch a
ride with Haley Durham or her brother Chase.  He was drunk anyway, and
Brett didn't
want to drive back to town with Jeff behind the wheel of the Pathfinder.
	Right now he just wanted to see Tommy, and tell him about
everything that had
happened.  It had been the most mind-racking hour that he had ever spent
at a party
anywhere.  Please be awake, he prayed.
	He slipped off his shoes at the door and walked silently through
the front foyer. 
To his relief and delight, Tommy was awake, laying on the couch watching
the 1968
Zeffrelli version of "Romeo and Juliet" on the VCR.  He looked rather
chipper for this
time of night, and Brett guessed that he must have just had a 24 hour bug
or something. 
He sure didn't look sick.  The blonde boy looked up.  
	"Anon, good Benvolio!" he said as Brett walked into the room.  He
was dressed
in a pair of plaid boxer shorts and a his favorite "Daviston Athletics"
white T-shirt.  He
noticed Brett's weary expression.  "Why lookest thou so downcast?  What
havoc hath
been wreaked upon this night's revelries that thou return'st so early from
the Capulet's
ball?"
	Brett smiled despite himself.  Tommy might have the potential to
be a Calvin
Klein underwear model, but his chances for a job as a Shakespearean actor
were
hopeless.  He grinned wryly at the the blonde boy's dancing green eyes and
sat down on
the couch, picking up Tommy's feet and throwing them in his lap.  	
	"While feasting at the ball did I see a gentleman of Verona, whom
I took to be
Romeo.  Turns out he's actually Tybalt, and he is indeed a Prince of Cats.
 Also turns out
he's the boyfriend of my fair Juliet."
	Tommy frowned and sat up, wrapping his arms around his legs and
resting his
chin on his knees.  "Ashley?" he asked, the Edwardian accent forgotten.
	"Yeah.  I want to tell you about it, but let's go down to your
room first.  I'm really
tired and Ashley's supposed to call your line when she gets home."
	He got up and turned the TV and VCR off, pulling his boxers from
where they
had become wedged between his buttocks.  What a night, Brett thought.  My
girlfriend's
found someone new, my world's falling apart, and yet the familiar sight of
Tommy
scratching his butt still makes me horny as hell.
	They walked downstairs to the basement, to Tommy's room.  Actually
the
basement was Tommy's room, as the second floor was Jeffrey's.  The
basement had been
converted to Tommy's bedroom when he was fifteen and decided he would much
rather
live under the ground than have to spend every waking hour of the day with
Jeffrey.  It
was a wise decision.  As his parents hardly ever came down to the basement
except
during a tornado warning, the whole floor was Tommy's to do as he pleased.
 He had
more privacy than anyone Brett knew.
	The stairway emptied into the "living room" as Tommy called it. 
There was a
microwave and small fridge in the corner as you entered, and a table
cluttered with school
work and papers as well as a computer.  In the center of the room was an
old sofa
upholstered in vinyl leather, and in front of it sat the TV, a medium
sized Magnovox that
only picked up two stations and looked like it had puked out a dozen Sega
games that
were strewn in a semicircle around it.  
	The walls were plastered with numerous posters of Lamborghinis and
Mustangs
as well as several large breasted women in bathing suits, including SIX of
Jenny
McCarthy and a Tyra Banks calendar over the desk.  Beside it was another
calendar,
showing various Confederate men in gray uniforms and labelled "Lee and His
Generals."  
	On the far side was a pool table, the piece of furniture which
nurtured his secret
ambition to become a world famous pool shark and move to Las Vegas so he
could own
a pet tiger.  An antique oak wardrobe sat beside it, a massive affair
which housed his
extensive collection of designer clothes.  Nautica, Calvin Klein,
Polo-Ralph Lauren, J.
Crew, and of course, his favorite, Tommy Hilfiger, were all hung neatly on
hangers
inside.  The other stuff: socks, T-shirts, and boxers were all strewn
haphazardly on the
floor.  
	To the left of the stairway was a short cul-de-sac which split off
into two rooms. 
One was the bathroom, with its large, enclosed shower and mirrored
panelling, and the
other was the "study."  This was actually a converted storage closet big
enough to fit a
horse in, the walls of which were lined with bookshelves.  You could find
everything in
there, from the Hardy Boys and "James and the Giant Peach" to John
Grisham, Anne
Rice, and William Shakespeare.  
	The actual bedroom was on the far side of the room, around and
behind the pool
table.  This room was the only one with a window, a 2' x 5' piece of glass
that showed the
tips of grass blades in the summer.  But the entire room was taken up by
the Bed, a
massive, king-sized piece of oak retrieved from the Davis House on
Carolina Street that
was now being used as a water bed.
	Brett wondered how they had gotten it into the room.  It must be
able to be taken
apart.  That was the only explanations.  It seemed more likely that the
room had been
built around the bed, it fit so snugly against the walls.  The bed was
sturdy, though.  This
had been proven numerous times over the past few years, and by countless
other times it
had been put to good use by Tommy's forefathers, for a hundred years
before it was ever
moved to his downstairs apartment.  No doubt almost half of the female
population of
Daviston High School knew that bed very well. 
	Of course, the real tests had been the ones given it in the last
few months, when
the two of them had used the bed for their own purposes...
	But Brett, of course, was thinking none of these thoughts about
the room or the
decor at the moment; he had been down here a thousand times and nothing
had ever
changed.  
	All he wanted now was to drink a cold glass of Tommy's favorite
Strawberry
Kiwi Kool-Aid and tell him all about the party and Ashley and Crew Cut,
and then crawl
into bed with him and go to sleep.  
	To hell with it all.  Tell Tommy about it all and then forget it. 
That crew cut boy
was Tommy's cousin, and there was nothing like a family brawl to disgrace
a person to
death.  Sparks would fly in the Davis family when they found out who was
trying to buy
the House on Carolina Road, and then they'd see if that snobby Atlanta
lawyer would get
it.  There's no way it would happen.  They were jerks, probably, crew cut
and his rich
daddy.  Made him mad as hell.  
	So Brett began spilling the story out to his boyfriend, slowly at
first, and then
listening helplessly as the words came out faster and faster.  He was mad
as a hornet.
	Tommy was concerned, but chuckled as Brett's face turned redder
and redder until
he was almost yelling.  "Calm down, Brett.  It's just a fling.  They won't
be together long,
especially if Ashley finds out that you still want to go out with her. 
And I'm cool with
that, as long as you don't forget who your real lover is."
	Brett didn't say anything.  Tommy knew how it worked.  He wouldn't
protest to
Brett and Ashley going out.  Ashley was just a girl, and Tommy knew
exactly how he
felt.  They had talked about the matter extensively in the past few
months.
	Tommy continued to reassure him, though.  "She'll come running
back, Brett, and
no doubt my blue-eyed cousin will be fleeing to Atlanta once he finds out
that nobody
here likes him.  He can be a brat sometimes.  He's as arrogant as they
come, too, and I
think he'll have a hard time adjusting to Daviston."
	Brett was silent.  He stripped down to his boxers and Tommy pulled
off his shirt. 
Brett was more than a little confused.  He knew himself to the most
prideful and
conceited boy in the class.  He also knew that he was a regular virtuoso
as far as bratness
was concerned.  At an early age his mother had deemed him a regular child
prodigy at the
art of getting "whatever he damned pleased." 
	They crashed on the water bed and pulled the covers around
themselves.  Tommy
put his arm around Brett's shoulders and they entwined their legs
together.  Could Ashley
see the same qualities in Jason as she saw in him?  Were he and this boy
from Atlanta
that much alike?  These questions were nagging at his brain, but he said
nothing.  Tommy
was dozing off beside him.  He would just not think of such things right
now.  He was
tired.  
	Brett pulled the covers around him tighter, floating in the warmth
given off by the
blonde boy's tight body.  He loved the smell of Tommy's bed, the warm
scent of his
cologne and the smell of his skin in the bed beside him.  The water gently
rocked
underneath him, lulling him quickly to sleep.  
	That's right.  He wouldn't think of such things right now.  They
were all too
complicated.  Ashley loved him!  He knew it.  He would get Ashley back. 
All Brett had
to figure out was how.  But he would think of these things tomorrow. 
After all, he
thought as he drifted off to sleep, tomorrow is another day.
	They fell sound asleep, Ashley's call forgotten.

				*	* 	*

	Jeffrey came in late, around three o'clock.  What a night! he
thought happily as he
stumbled in through the front door and removed his shoes.  Whoops, gotta
be quiet, he
reminded himself.
	Just think!  He got back together with Haley and fucked her twice
all in the same
night!  This was almost too good to be true.  He wasn't really sure why he
had apologized
to her.  He was really kind of tired of Haley.  She could be such an
airhead sometimes. 
But she had looked fine as hell in that tight, silky skirt thing. 
	He wondered if the two guys were up.  Probably not.  Almost 3:00
in the
morning.  His brother could be such a retard sometimes.  Imagine, missing
the first party
of fall.  "Leave me alone, Jeff, I'm sick," he had moaned.
	And then there was Brett.  He could be weird sometimes, too.  God,
he had left
the party like two hours early.  He was curious as to what happened, but
he hadn't
stopped Brett to ask.  Just threw him the keys.  He knew that he was going
to get up in
Haley that night anyway.
	What weirdos.  They could have gotten some fat puss too, what with
those four
fine-ass who'es walking around the whole place just looking for some
action.  Who had
they left with?  That new guy, Ashley's new boyfriend.  
	Ha ha!  What a player.  There was no way in hell he was going to
get away with
it, because everybody in that place saw those that girl leave with him. 
Ashley should
have never ran off with Danielle anyway and left that guy alone.  And
completely drunk
too.  
	Well, Ashley had told him to give Brett a message.  "Tell Brett I
will call him
tomorrow morning about ten, and if he isn't home I'll leave a message on
his machine."
	That's what she had said.  Told him specifilly.  He meant
specifinly.  Spa-
Pacifically?  Oh hell, he was still buzzing off that last joint.  It was
so fat.  
	Specifically.  That was it.  Had told him specifically.
	He opened the door to the basement and almost tripped down the
stairs, fumbling
for the light switch so he could see.  Couldn't see a damn thing.
	The door was unlocked at the foot of the stairs, and he smiled
drunkenly as he
stepped into Tommy's "boudoir."  Nice room.  His brother had good
decorating tastes. 
Jenny McCarthy and General Lee stared down at him from their positions on
the opposite
wall, one stare sexy and inviting, the other one reminiscent of his
father.
	He walked over towards the bedroom, sturdying himself on the pool
table. 
	"Brett," he whipered, tapping lightly on the door.  No answer.
	He reached for the knob and the door swung open easily.  He
whispered urgently. 
"Brett, wake up, Ashley said she'd..."
	Holy mother of Christ, they were naked!
	He lay on top of the sheets on his stomach, his bare ass in plain
view.  His brother
was asleep laying on his back, one arm cradling Brett's neck, his
semi-hard dick and
balls... oh hell, his DICK and BALLS... the dudes were naked.  In bed
together!
	What the fuck...??? 


TOMMY (m/m)
by matthew shakespeare

Part Nine:  Breakfast

	Hangover.  Oh HELL...
	Jeffrey Davis woke up with his head impaled on a stake, every beat of his
heart
wreaking pain on his whole body.  His brain felt like wad of dough being
kneaded over
and over and over again.
	"Beer after liquor, makes you sicker; liquor after beer, have nothing to
fear..."  He
gritted his teeth as the familiar chant sing-songed through his mind.
	Fuck, fuck, fuck.  Fuckity fuck fuck.  "Ughhhhhh..." he moaned out loud.
	Sunlight streamed in through the window at the foot of the bed, washing over
him
in a harsh flood.  Dammit, it was like needles in his eyeballs.  He sat up
slowly, covering
his eyes with the back of his hand, and began to walk towards the door in
painful, clumsy
steps.
	He needed some of his famous hangover coffee, with a lot of honey mixed in
it. 
Yeah.  And something to eat, too.  Tomato juice worked well, Allen Farquhar
had said. 
Maybe he'd try that.
	It wasn't until he was seated in the breakfast room, sunglasses on his face
and
tomato juice in hand, that a fuzzy memory came buzzing to the surface.
 Tommy? 
	Tommy!!!
	He dropped his spoonful of Frosted Flakes and almost cried out as the glass
of
tomato juice went crashing to the floor.  What the hell was going on, anyway?
 
	Was the whole world fucked up?  There was no way...
	The red stain continued to seep across the linoleum floor, creeping over its
ivory
surface like thick, red oil...

				*	*	*

	"Where's Jeffrey?" Brett inquired, "Hope he got home alright."
	Tommy shrugged.  "Haven't seen him.  Probably still asleep."
	They were seated together in the breakfast room two hours after Jeffrey had
finished mopping up his spilled breakfast, lazily slurping down Froot Loops
and Apple
Jacks.  Both wore only their boxers and T-shirts, even though it was almost
11:00.  Brett
sat with his face propped up with one set of knuckles, while Tommy studied
the back of
an Fruit Loops box, his expression hilariously serious.
	"What's so interesting?"  Brett asked him.
	"Nuthin.  It's just a maze.  I'm trying to help Toucan Sam find the Froot
Loops."
	"Can't he just follow his nose?"
	"I dunno.  He must have a cold or something."
	The brunette boy chuckled, but Tommy continued to stare at the box, totally
absorbed in the maze.  
	"Work it backwards," Brett offered.
	"No, that's cheating, man. "
	"Who cares?  Besides, why can't Toucan Sam just fly over the maze?  He's a
bird."
	"Why do you ask so many stupid questions?"  Tommy muttered.
	Brett kicked him under the table.  "You're a geek, man."
	"Shut up."  Tommy made no move to kick him back.
	Brett went reluctantly back to his Apple Jacks, somewhat annoyed.
	A foot brushed against his own.  
	Brett looked up slowly from his breakfast, wiping the milk off his lips.
 Tommy's
playful green eyes peered over the top of the cereal box.  He stared,
pokerfaced,
munching casually on his cereal.  
	Brett sensed something was amuck, but went back to slurping his milk
spoonful
by spoonful.  
	Tommy's foot brushed against his again, and Brett felt chillbumps rise on
the back
of his neck and arms.  The touch came again, completely intentional this
time.  Tommy
rubbed his foot roughly against Brett's right one, then up his leg and around
one ankle.  
	Brett's dick sprang instantly to attention, pitching a tent in his boxers.
 He looked
up at Tommy, who still held the box in front of his face, though his eyebrows
were raised
high with surprise.  Or, perhaps, with question.
	Brett grinned.  He moved his own foot, his actions more obviously persistent
than
Tommy's playful teasing.  He felt Tommy's other leg join in the action.
 Brett scooted his
chair further under the table till their knees were touching.  Now both
Tommy's feet were
stroking his, and it was driving the hazel eyed boy nuts.
	"What the fuck are you doing?" Tommy asked coolly around a mouthful of Froot
Loops.  
	Their knees were rubbing now, and Brett reached down into his boxers to
adjust
his cock.  "You started it," he replied, his breathing becoming heavier.
 "You started it...
you... freakin... cocksucker..."
	"Cum guzzler," the blonde boy retorted.
	"Butt-fucker," Brett jabbed back.
	"Slut."
	"Cum queen."
	"Virgin."
	Brett burst out laughing.  "Now you KNOW that's not true."
	Tommy dropped the cereal box on the table.  He bit his bottom lip and his
eyes
were glazed over with lust.  "Let's go to my room."

				*	*	*

	Jeffrey paced tirelessly across his bedroom floor.  He didn't know what was
happening.  His own little brother?  Queer?  
	And Brett too???  What was going on?  They had been friends forever.  Had
this
been going on the whole time?  All those times when Brett had slept over...
 Were they
always queer?  Had they just gotten drunk?  There had to be a reasonable
explanation.
	He couldn't think of any, though.
	All those times when the three of them had went out together.  They had gone
to
parties, to clubs in Atlanta, everywhere together, especially when the goofys
were too
young to drive.  They had gotten drunk together night after night and never
did Jeffrey
ever suspect a thing.  
	They had even watched each other fuck!  Like the time when he, Tommy, and
Brett were took turns with the same girl.  That night in Atlanta.  They had
fucked girls! 
They couldn't be gay.
	Jeffrey wanted to say something, he wanted to ask them himself.  But what
would
they say?  Would Brett blow up in his face?  What could they possibly say?
	Hell, Tommy was the damn QUARTERBACK of the football team!  The most
well-like boy in Daviston?  Queer???  And Brett, he was one of the guys.
 Loved weed
and baseball and girls.  Dammit, he loved GIRLS!  Brett had always been the
Mac of the
group, his charm and easy-going drawl winning over the girls with as much
success as
Tommy's own stout good-looks.  That boy LIVED for women.  And Ashley?  Did
Ashley have any clue?  They had gone out for months; she had fucked him even.
 It
wasn't possible.
	But he had seen them in the bed together.  They weren't just in the same bed
together, they were IN the SAME BED!  TOGETHER!!!  It was enough to make him
dizzy, make his hangover come back.
	Well, there was no choice.  He'd have to talk to them.  He couldn't just
walk
around with it bottled up inside him, trying to act like he didn't know.  He
had seen what
he had seen, and he would just tell Tommy what he had seen and see what the
boy had to
say for himself.  God forbid it was for real.  God forbid their daddy find
out.  
	Maybe it was just a phase or something.  Maybe they had just gotten really
drunk
and horny and just had to get off.  Hell, even he had imagined what it would
be like to do
that.  With another guy, like one of his best friends.  The closest he'd ever
come to that
was the girl that he had fucked in Panama City with Nathan Farquhar there
with him,
each of them in a different hole.  God, that had been fucking amazing.  It
wasn't the idea
of two guys that he couldn't stand, but... TOMMY and BRETT???
	It was too fucked up to be true.  Well, he'd find out the truth.  
	He'd go and talk to them, both of them.  Right now.


TOMMY (m/m)
by matt shakespeare

Part Ten: Jeffrey's Dilemma

	Jeff walked briskly down the sloping staircase, afraid to pause anywhere for
even
a second, lest he change his mind.  He had to talk to Tommy and Brett.  He
flung open
the basement door and plunged down the steps.  He was beginning to sweat a
little, and
he had a sick feeling in his stomach.  Gonna puke, he thought.
	As he opened the door at the base of the stairs and walked into Tommy's
room,
the memory of what he had seen the night before came flooding back to him.
 He heard
the shower running in the bathroom.
	Nobody else was in the room.  Which meant they were both in the bathroom. 
Aw, fuck!  No way they were in the damn shower together?  Probably fucking in
the
shower together.  Why did everything have to be so difficult?  He decided to
just sit
outside the bathroom on the couch and wait on them.
	Ten minutes passed.  Best not to just barge in on them.  Wait, they'll be
out in a
few minutes.
	Another five minutes.  No moaning noises.  No thumping sounds in the shower.

It was a good sign.  
	Five more minutes.  Okay, screw both of them.  Nobody takes that long to
take a
shower.  They were fucking each other's brains out, surely.  Imagine.  Both
of those
guys, in the shower whacking off together or some shit.  His kid brother and
Brett
Davenport.  The two coolest guys in school.  He could just see his little bro
with soap in
his hands, lathering it all over Brett's body.  His soapy hands running over
Brett's erect
nipples and his chest; hands rubbing all over the dark headed boy's tanned
skin, stroking
the hard ripples of his stomach, fondling his balls and encircling his dick
with a soapy
fist.  Disgusting, really.  Made him sick just to think about it.
	Jeff reached down into his boxers to adjust his cock, which was now totally
erect
and painfully wedged to the side.  His patience was wearing thin.  Might as
well just go
and knock on the door.  No telling how much longer they'd be in there.


				*	*	*


	Brett threw back his head and moaned softly, the water pelting him full in
the
face.  He didn't care.  The water felt good.  Tommy slurped greedily on his
cock,
smacking his lips and whipping his tongue artfully around the head.  At this
rate he knew
he would blow his wad any second.  It was fucking fantastic.  He leaned back
against the
cold, hard shower wall and floated violently between heaven and earth,
fighting the urge
to sink to his knees on the floor.  
	Tommy was on his knees in the shower with his arms wrapped around Brett's
muscled thighs, and his hands would alternate between kneading his buttocks
and running
up and down his legs, rubbing the hollow behind his knees.  Brett grunted and
could feel
Tommy fighting the urge to grin around his dick.  
	Brett opened his mouth and tried to speak around the water that flooded his
mouth.  "T-T-Tom, I'm 'bout to...spew...man," he whimpered softly, running
his hands
through Tommy's wet, tangled mop of blonde curls.  "I'm serious, man, I'm
'bout to
cum..."
	Tommy slapped him soundly on the buttocks.  "That's the whole point of me
sucking your dick."
	Brett knew he was gonna take him all the way this time, and he rubbed the
back
of Tommy's neck tenderly.  Hot water splashed off his chest and ran down into
Tommy's
face.  He couldn't think about anything else, just Tommy's hot mouth on his
cock,
sucking harder and harder.  He knew he was about to cream.  Gonna cum...
	Brett grabbed Tommy's head between both his hands as he blew his wad.  He
threw back his head and clenched his teeth as his body bucked under the force
of orgasm. 
He looked down, glassy eyed, at Tommy who was busy licking his throbbing
boner.  He
had busted his nut all over Tom's face.  It must've been a whole gallon.
	Just then there was a loud knock on the door.
	"Hey, Tommy?  You in there?"  Oh fuck!  It was Jeff!
	Tommy bolted to his feet as Brett jumped out of the shower.  They looked
helplessly at each other, their faces mirror images of shock.  Brett wiped
frantically at
himself with a towel and jumped into his boxers.  "Say something," he mouthed
to
Tommy, who was still standing dumbfoundedly in the shower.
	"Uh, yeah, Jeff," he called, swallowing hard.  "What do you want?"
	"I gotta talk to you, man," the other voice answered.
	"Can't it wait?  I'm fixin to be out."
	"I don't think so.  Just... hurry up, okay."
	"Alright!  Dammit, Jeff!  Can't a guy even finish his shower?"
	Tommy motioned frantically for Brett to hurry.  Brett frowned and looked
desperately at him.  "What do I do?" he mouthed, holding out his palms in
frustration.
	Tommy looked first at Brett, and then at the door, and then at Brett, and
then at
the wall.  The window.  There was a small window opposite the shower, perched
slightly
above the ground outside.  It would be a squeeze.  But maybe, just maybe,
Brett would be
able to crawl through it.  Tommy gestured towards the window.
	"What???  Me, fit through THAT???"  Brett whispered harshly.  He gritted his
teeth in exasperation and climbed onto the back of the toilet.  "What do I do
once I'm
outside?"
	Tommy was picking the rest of Brett's clothes off the floor.  "Go on up
through
the window and I'll throw you your clothes.  Go around to the front and get
in the cab of
the truck and change.  I'll be out in about thirty minutes."
	Brett slid the window open and pushed out the screen.  Over the past few
months
there had been numerous close-calls where the two had almost been discovered,
but this
was by far the most bizarre escape he had ever attempted.  
	Jeff pounded impatiently on the door.  "Hurry up, Tommy!"
	Brett jumped up onto Tommy's shoulders and pulled himself up and out the
window.  The sunlight was blinding, and he found himself laying facedown in
the thick
grass of the backyard, his body wet and naked except for his boxer shorts.
 He crawled
away on his hands and knees and then reached back down to retrieve the rest
of his
clothes, which Tommy wadded up and chunked out, quickly closing the window.
 Brett
watched as he flew to the door without even wrapping a towel around himself.
 He
couldn't stay to gawk, though, what if someone saw him lying in the Davis'
backyard in
his boxer shorts?  He grabbed his clothes and ran around the house to Tommy's
truck
which was parked in the driveway underneath a giant oak tree.


				*	*	*


	Jeff scowled as Tommy opened the bathroom door.
	"What the hell is so important?" the younger boy demanded.  Goddam, he
hadn't
even bothered to wrap a towel around himself.  The two brothers had never
been self-
conscious around each other, but jeez... what had he been doing with his body
just
seconds ago?  His brother's dick was limp now, but what about last night?  It
put Jeff a
little off guard.
	"Uh, is Brett here?" he asked, swallowing and trying desperately to regain
his
former conviction.
	"Does it look like Brett's here?"  Tommy queried, walking casually into the
room
and plopping down onto the couch, flipping on MTV.
	Jeff was perplexed.  "You're dripping water everywhere, Tommy.  Haven't you
ever heard of a towel?"
	"Don't need 'em," was his reply.  He reached over and plucked a banana off
the
end table and peeled it.  "I prefer to air-dry."  He swallowed half the
banana in one bite
and Jeff felt his head spin.
	"What the fuck ever," he said, staring at the ceiling.  "Where's Brett?"
 The boy
was probably still in the bathroom, hiding in the shower.
	"I took him home about an hour ago," Tommy said around a mouthful of banana.

"Why?"
	"Never mind," Jeff answered.  "Do you have some extra gel?  I'm all out and
I'm
fixin to go over to Haley's."
	"No," Tommy said.  "Haven't used the stuff in ages."
	"Well I'm going to look anyway."  To his satisfaction, Tommy looked nervous.
	"Don't mess with my shit, man!"
	"I'm not, I'm just looking for some gel."  He darted in the bathroom as
Tommy
jumped to his feet.
	"Get the fuck out of my bathroom, Jeff."
	"Jesus, Tommy!" he exclaimed.  "This whole place smells like jizz."
	"Oh, shut up, Jeff.  Like you've never beat off in the shower."  Tommy was
turning red now, it was obvious.
	Jeff could smell the spunk, but where was Brett?  He wasn't in there.  Not
in the
shower, either.  It was open and empty.  He was definitely puzzled.
	Maybe he was wrong.  He had the sudden feeling that he was wrong, very
wrong,
that he had blown everything way out of proportion.  There wasn't any proof
that Brett
had been in here with Tommy.  As for the thing the night before- well, that
was still real,
but he couldn't bring it up now.  Tommy was obviously pissed at him and
embarrassed at
the same time.  He couldn't confront him now.  Besides, he wanted to talk to
Brett too.
	"I don't have any damn gel, ass-wipe," Tommy insisted again.  "Get out of
here
before I kick your ass."
	"Okay, okay," he said, walking towards the stairs.  "Why are you such a
bitch this
morning?"
	"Are you going to Haley's?" Tommy asked.
	"Yeah," he answered. "With my hair looking like shit, I guess."
	"Have fun," was the dull reply.
	"Thanks," Jeff said, opening the door to leave.  "By the way, Ashley told me
to
tell Brett that she would call him this morning.  At his house, I guess."
	"Well, I'm sure they're talking right now.  I'm sure Brett appreciates you
giving
him the message."
	"Well, y'all were asleep when I got home, I guess.  It's not my fault."
	"Whatever.  Just hurry up and get outta here," Tommy scowled, flopping back
onto the couch.  His bare ass was in perfect view and brought back strange
memories of
the two younger boys in bed together.
	"I'm gone, man," he replied, turning to leave.  "And, dammit, put on some
clothes."
	A banana peel smacked against the wall and he slammed the door.


TOMMY (m/m)
by matt shakespeare

Part Eleven: Football Practice

	Helmets and hard bodies slammed into each other with the sound of cracking
thunder.  Grunts.  The play exploded into action.  One hard blow to the chest
and his man
went down.  Jacobs.  Loser.  Brett pivoted on his heels to survey the field
and smiled as
he saw #14 break free of the defense and trot effortlessly toward the
end-zone.  Tommy,
as usual.
	Whistle.  "What the fuck?  Davis!!!" Coach O'Brian barked.  "What in the
hell
was that?  Trying to be a star?"
	From his vantage point a few yards away, Brett could see Tommy getting
thoroughly chewed out.  Nevermind that he scored, Coach.  Gotta practice the
stupid
plays, even if Russell, the intended receiver, couldn't catch crabs from a
five dollar
hooker.  Much less a football.
 	Dammit!  Why in the hell did O'Brian have him playing offensive guard?  He
was
a wide receiver from the day he was born!  And especially with Tommy
quarterbacking, 
there was no way O'Brian was going to have him playing OG in the first game
of the
season.  The game against Beaufort;  THE game of the season.  Bunch of
bullshit.
	"Alright guys, waterbreak!"
	The cluster of uniformed jocks on the practice field trotted wearily over
towards
the sideline.  Brett grabbed a squeeze bottle of Lemon Ice Gatorade and began
to drain it
down his throat, which was dry and sticky from constant panting.  It was the
best drink
he had ever tasted.  Wet and cool.  
	"Oh god, give me some," a winded baritone gasped behind him.  Brett turned
around as Tommy sauntered over and took the Gatorade, downing it in large
gulps.  His
hair was matted to his head, sweat running down his skin, and his face was
flushed red
with exhaustion and probably more than a little indignation.  "Can you
believe O'Brian? 
That play sucks, and it's not going to give us jack.  There was nobody open
out there."
	"Tell me about it.  I'm not too impressed, myself."
	"Why aren't you out there receiving?"
	"Dunno."
	Tommy rolled his eyes and threw a fist into the air, sending Gatorade flying
in a
shower of golden droplets.  "This is bullshit!"
	Brett pried what was left out of his sweaty palm and drank it down.  Thank
god
practice was almost over.  It was only Monday, and there was a whole week
left to sort
this shit out.  He was just ready to go home and crash in front of the TV.
 Call Ashley,
lay on the couch, and just fall asleep there.  What a plan.
	Coach O'Brian walked over to the water cooler, only a few paces away, but
was
stopped by a tall, lanky boy with carrot orange hair.  He was limping.  "Uh,
Coach... Can
I sit down for awhile.  I think I have a cramp or something... it hurts
pretty bad."
	The short, white headed man stared at the boy's face, then glanced down at
his
leg, and then back up to his face.  A smile spread across his face, and he
began to laugh. 
"A cramp???  Huh.  Nothing wrong with a cramp, boy, it just means blood's
getting to
your leg.  Now get out there!"
	The boy faltered.  "Are you sure Coach?"  His eyes met the old man's and he
looked down, embarrassed.  "It really hurts... I'm not sure I can run on it."
	O'Brian clenched his jaw and then threw down his clipboard dramatically.
 "That's
IT!!!" he screamed.  "That's IT, that's the last straw!  I'm SICK and TIRED
of all this
whining!  You are, without a doubt, the biggest pack of cock-sucking, whining
bitches I
have ever had the displeasure of trying to coach!  I try to make you all men;
try to make
you into a football team.  What do I have to work with?  Nothing.  You give
me nothing. 
Nothing but whining."  
	He paused, his bulging eyes sweeping the team, and then resumed his pacing.
 "
'My helmet strap broke...' " he whined sarcastically.  His crazed stare
singled out Tommy
in the crowd.  " 'I didn't LIKE that play, so I decided to run the ball
myself...'  'My
jockstrap won't fit because I don't have any balls, Coach...'  'I can't run
because I have a
cramp...' "  
	He stopped in his tracks and spun around.  "A cramp?  Excuse me, Mr.
Douglas,
but did you say a CRAMP?"  His temper exploded.  "Well, I guess it's just
your time of
the goddam month and you must be having CRAMPS IN YOUR GODDAMN PUSSY,
because you SURE AS HELL aren't a REAL MAN!  None of you.  You're all whining
little cunt lickers, and I just will not stand it any more."
	He picked up the clipboard.  "Wind sprints.  Now.  Till I say stop.  Before
you
leave this field today you will be men... Or you may choose to die.  One or
the other."
	Brett groaned out loud, as he felt any energy or drive he had been saving
escape
his body in one breath of air.  No fucking way.  This was hell.  O'Brien was
a Nazi.  He'd
never get home.  And WIND SPRINTS?  He was going to die.  He would just drop
down
in his tracks and die a martyr, evidence to the cruelty of a man possessed by
evil.  He and
Tommy both, laying together on the fifty yard line, the incarnate Romeo and
Juliet, their
bodies a morbid monument to teenage love.  What a way to go.  It didn't seem
like too
bad of an idea right about now.
	Tommy walked up behind him and clasped him lovingly on the back, the gesture
vague and innocuous to the rest of the team.  "Ready to go home, huh?"
	"I'm gonna die, Tom.  Gonna motherfucking die right now."
	"Aw, c'mon Brett.  He'll have to stop practice pretty soon cause in about
fifteen
minutes of wind sprints they'll be dropping like flies."
	Brett sighed wearily but smiled as Tommy patted him on the buttocks.  He'd
get
through it one way or the other.  Tommy was right, the younger ones were not
nearly as
in-shape as they were.  It wouldn't last too long.  Hopefully.
	The whistle blew and the sprints began, pushing all thoughts out of his
brain
except for the single image of Tommy's buttocks bouncing in time with his
strides.  It
sent shivers down Brett's spine, his body gripped between the strain of
running and a
weird sense of deja-vu.


TOMMY

Part Twelve:  Caroline

	The sleek black Camero glided off the road and came to a halt in the gravel
in
front of the field house.  Brett's ride was here.  Ten minutes late.
	Football practice was over, and he stood outside the weight room waiting on
his
ride, leisurely discussing plays with Chase and Matthew Durham.  The younger
of the
two cousins was strictly a baseball and golf man.  Matthew wasn't on the
football team
but had just ridden up because his afternoon detention was over.  Chase and
Brett were
still in their gray "Daviston Football" cut-off T-shirts, athletic shorts,
and football cleats. 
The three boys looked up as the Camero pulled abreast of the building and its
engine
purred to a standstill.  Brett raised an eyebrow.
	The door of the sports car swung open and out stepped his cousin, beautiful
as
always, her dark raven hair spilling over her shoulders in ebony waves.
 Caroline
Davenport.  She smiled pleasantly as she approached them and kissed him on
the cheek. 
"Brett!  Oh my god, look at yourself!"
	"Speak for yourself, Caren," he drawled good-naturedly, throwing his arm
around
her shoulder.  "What a lady of the world you've become.  Your hair has grown
out.  I
suppose you still shave your armpits though.  How was Europe?"
	She pushed his arm off disdainfully.  "Please... Brett, you're sweaty...
Europe was
great but I'm glad to be home.  France was just awful.  The people were so
rude and
disrespectful I just couldn't stand the place any more.  It was AWFUL.  And I
missed the
family, Brett.  I missed Daviston."  She sighed.  "But now I'm home..."
	"And bitchy as ever," Chase mumbled.  Caroline's aristocratic airs and fiery
displays of temper were legendary in the town of Daviston, especially among
her
classmates and friends.
	Caroline glared.  "Chase Durham, YOU probably would have enjoyed France. 
It's full of other rude, arrogant, and alcoholic people.  Why, people just
like yourself!" 
She frowned.  "Here I've been off in Europe for the whole summer and this is
how you
all welcome me home.  Call me a bitch.  Hit him, Brett, hit him for me."
	Chase moved forward as if to strangle her but she smiled innocently and
kissed
him as well.  "You're lucky that I'm in a forgiving mood today, Chase.  But
I'm glad to
see that things here haven't changed any.  Nothing has changed."  
	Her expression grew concerned.  "Except for you, cousin.  Brett, you look
like a
complete mess.  This is so unlike you.  What's all this crap about football?
 When
momma told me that you were here at football practice I just couldn't believe
it.  You
used to be so skinny, Brett, I just couldn't believe it."
	Chase chuckled.
	Caren continued.  "You're a baseballer, like Matthew here.  What happened to
the
golf team?  The swim team?  What happened to the pretty boy that I used to
know and
love?  Did Tommy do this to you?  The bastard.  Did he talk you into this?"
	"No, Caroline, Tommy didn't do a thing,"  he protested.  "I've always wanted
to
play, just never really given it a try.  But I like it.  I'm good too, Caren,
just watch! 
O'Brian says I'm an awesome running back and I want to believe him."
	"But football?" she asked incredulously.  "Brett, honey, c'mon.  Getting
knocked
around by fat boys.  How can you stand it?"
	Brett grinned.  "You just knock THEM back."
	"Cos, the world doesn't revolve around football even if Daviston does.  I
know,
I've seen the world.  And you don't like football.  You never have.  What
happened to the
bright-eyed, well-dressed boy that you were when I left?  You've got a
different look in
your eyes and I don't like it.  You look older.  You're not the same Brett
you used to be. 
What's happened?"
	Chase groaned and rolled his eyes.  "Just chill, Caren.  Brett's doin his
thing and
it's cool.  You, on the other hand, are still a bitch.  You haven't changed a
lick.  I'm going
inside Brett, to get in a few more squat reps before I leave."  He paused
before leaving
and looked Caroline straight in the eyes.  "And speaking for Tommy, he's had
far better
lays this summer than YOU ever were."
	Brett couldn't help but to chuckle, not only at Caroline's surprised
expression but
also the irony of Chase's parting words.  He'd been a far better lay than
Caren.
	Caroline scoffed.  "Well.  I guess that's my cue to leave.  Throw your bag
in the
trunk, I don't want your nasty mud and sweat in my backseat."
	She tossed him the keys and he opened the trunk and threw in his mesh bag,
his
pads and school clothes.  Caroline was indeed a first class bitch, but for
that you had to
love her.  Scarlett O'Hara right down to the letter.  Beautiful and
intelligent, but with an
coldly explosive personality always asking the single question, 'What's in it
for ME?' 
Tommy had failed to realize this and it had hurt him in the end.  She only
used him.  For
sex.  For prestige.  To be dating the choicest piece of meat in the school,
Tommy the
quarterback; Tommy the star.
	Even with all the reasons he had to hate his cousin, Brett found that he
just
couldn't.  He had never hated Caroline, even after she had crushed Tommy like
an insect. 
Her flaws were his own flaws, only in Caroline they had been encouraged,
cultured, and
magnified by her good-looks and over-indulgent parents.  Brett saw himself in
Caroline.  
	The brat and the bitch, both had learned manipulation early in life.  When
he was
a boy Caroline had taught him that often the best way to get your own way was
with your
looks.  Both had been adorable kids, with matching hair and eyes and dimples.
 They had
often been taken for twins or siblings.  Caroline knew that being cute and
smiling and
climbing up in daddy's lap won instant gratification.  In return, Brett had
taught Caroline
how to throw a proper tantrum.  When smiles wouldn't work, a three-year old
had to get
nasty.  They were cohorts in crime, the two of them, and Brett couldn't
despise Caren. 
She was too much like himself.
	And he liked himself.  So he liked Caroline, bitchiness and all.  
	He had slammed the trunk and was walking towards the passenger door when a
red Mustang pulled up beside them.  He saw Caroline smile as the driver
stepped out, and
for an obvious reason.
	It was Jason.
	He pulled off a pair of RayBands and folded them into his pocket.  He was
wearing a pair of tight bluejeans and a plain white t-shirt.  Simple but
smart looking.  His
blue eyes shone casually as he eyed Caroline.  He removed his baseball cap
and threw it
in the car.
	Caren elbowed him in the ribs.  "Who is this?" she whispered out of the
corner of
her mouth.  "I think I've been out of town a little TOO long..."
	Brett felt a green tinge of nausea and a bit of jealousy rush to his head.
 So even
Caroline admitted it, and what's good enough for Caroline...
	"Hey Brett?"  The punk spoke.  "Has Coach O'Brien left yet?"
	"Why?" he asked as Jason came sauntering over.
	"I wanna try out for football, if it's not too late."
	Brett tried not to frown, to scowl, but it happened naturally.  "He's
inside.  In his
office."  Caroline kicked his leg subtly.  "Oh yeah, this is Caren, my cousin
from
Reddington.  Caren, this is Jason.  He's moving here from Atlanta."
	Caroline offered her hand to him.  "Nice to meet you Jason.  And your last
name?"
	"Harding."  He shook her hand slowly and their eyes met.  Brett thought for
sure
he was about to puke- but wait...  They were hot for each other, that was
evident, but a
plan began to form in Brett's mind.  Suppose Jason really DID like
Caroline... it would
take him out of the picture, away from Ashley.  Of course, to have such a
creep in the
family... but their affair wouldn't have to last that long, just long enough
to break up
Jason and Ashley for good.  And Caren's powers of seduction were legendary.
 It just
might work.
	Caren smiled, and the desire and cunning that he saw in her eyes was enough
to
make him shudder.  She had obviously spied something that she wanted.  And
what
Caroline wanted...
	"I'm Caroline... Caroline Davenport."
