Chapter 3: Increasingly hot...weather.


June had left them, or they had left it behind, and now July was bathing
them in its increasingly warmer rays, but for all the warmth and
surprisingly warm weather, Ryan seemed to be getting sadder as Jason
observed one day when they sat on the loungers by the pool. Sebastian was
on his other side, his legs propped on either side of the lounger trying to
soak as much sunlight as possible before Mother Nature decided to weep
instead and rain down on them cats and dogs as was the usual even during
the summer. He had relaxed completely, almost melting into the metal and
plastic lounger, his hands behind his head and his breathing almost
rhythmic and slow. The warm sun acted as a lullaby.

Christian was exploring the forest excited as he was about every different
species of insect, lizard, bird and tree that his eyes could see, his hands
could touch, his nose could smell and his ears could hear. Malthe was in
the library reading as he sat next to Peter who also read his current book,
dropping the occasional glance towards the boy, smiling at his
concentration and his sort of pouted lips and brows as he apparently tried
to learn French all on his own. The book was not an easy one at all. It was
one of Voltaire's books in nineteenth century French while on his right
hand was an English-French dictionary and in front of them both was his
nexus seven pad so he could search any words the dictionary did not have
due to the book being in French of antiquity with many a words changed,
altered, or no longer in use and on his left hand was his textpad for
whatever notes he scribed in there. One of Malthe's qualities that
Christian seemed not to have was his ambidextrous use of his hands.

"It's a good thing I had the guy who came to install the satellite TV also
install signal enhancers throughout the Manor," Peter thought as he got
back to his book, "The shadow line" by Joseph Conrad.

Back in the pool, Jason could no longer stand to see his friend sad and not
know why.

"Ryan...why are you sad...if you don't mind me asking?" Always the proper
boy, Jason asked apprehensively.

Ryan looked away across the pool and then back to his friend's face.

"I don't mind you asking Jason. You and Sebastian are my best mates. You
can ask me anything you want. I guess...it's a few things...about a week
ago the internet got connected, I've been able to access it with my
smartphone and Ben, my friend from the city has either not been coming
online or hasn't been talking to me...and the one time I got to chat with
him he told me that he had to cancel the visit we had originally planned
because he found a girlfriend...and to boot it all, Johanna has changed the
last week or so...she nearly never wants to come over to the Manor or the
Village, wants me to always go there or the mall, and even when we're in
the mall, we just have to always see the movies she wants or she will
barely kiss me otherwise...much less...you know...anything else...it's all
pissing me off really!" he said in a mixture of sadness and irritation.

Jason got up from his lounger, sat next to Ryan and hugged him, rubbing his
back to comfort him.

"Screw him! Ben's an ass and not worth your sorrow or happiness! Me and
Jason are your best mates now, and we'll never treat you like that okay?!"

Ryan pulled back and smiled "Okay," he said.

"Sooooo....how far did you go with Johanna?" Jason asked him playfully,
tickling his ribs while giggling.

Ryan laughed and giggled, tickling him back, but did not answer. Soon they
were wrestling, breaking Sebastian's relaxation as he tilted his head to
see what was happening, and very soon after that they found themselves
falling in the pool's cold water.

When their heads came out of the water's surface they continued to splash
and tickle until their hands were lower, much lower and wrapped around each
other's flesh daggers.

Their giggles faded, their smiles remaining behind as they looked each
other's eyes and started stroking each other slowly through their
speedos. Ryan moaned in an almost whimper-like sound when Jason pressed his
hand under the speedo and gave his hard package a squeeze.

"Not bad!" Jason said in a fit of giggles, unable to believe that he was
actually doing something so naughty with his friend.

They both giggled and moaned at the same time.

Sebastian watched them but did not join them, lost in his thoughts of
increasing despair.

Ryan moaned at a squeeze by Jason's stroking hand and pressed his hand
under the rubber material of Jason's speedo, trailing downwards until he
found what he was searching for.

He wrapped his hand around Jason's flesh flute and pulling back his
foreskin he toyed with Jason's glans, rubbing his fingers on the piss slit
and in circles around the head.

Jason shivered and moaned at the incredible feelings coursing through his
body.

Ryan smiled and poked his tongue out playfully at his friend, but did not
expect Jason's reaction as the boy dashed forward and kissed him, opening
his mouth as if on instinct, pushing his tongue inside Ryan's lips and past
his teeth into the wetness inside.

Their hands began moving faster up and down - Ryan's hand on Jason's hip,
Jason's hand on Ryan's chest; their mouths kissing deeply on and on until
Ryan moaned and breaking the kiss to breathe, he fired his boy milk in
Jason's stroking hand.

His knees felt like jelly and he had to steady himself by placing his head
on Jason's neck, his hand on the teen's hip holding it tight and as a
result his hand squeezed Jason's boydick tighter than Jason's
self-restraint could withstand.  Tilting his head back, his eyes closed and
his hips made fucking motions on Ryan's hand, shooting his sperm in the
pool's cool water.

They crossed their hands on the pool's edge, resting their heads on them to
catch their breaths.

"Soooo....how far did you go with Johanna?" Jason asked him when they
caught their breaths.

Sebastian's head pivoted at the question to watch his cousin and friend.

"I...would rather not say. I don't want have rumours spreading...," Ryan
replied hesitantly.

"Come on Ryan, we are best mates! We're not going to say anything to
anyone!"

"Yeah come on, spill it!" Sebastian added, jumping in the pool.

Ryan shook his head, "Okay, okay already! Well...we've been...well she's
been sucking me ever since the second date...five days ago...we...uhm...you
know...had sex...," Ryan said, blushing a deep shade of crimson.

Sebastian tried to smile but stayed silent. Jason's eyes had bulged out,
his jaw opened as he giggled uncontrollably.

Ryan looked at him with a raised brow, giggling himself. "What?" he asked,
shrugging his shoulders.

"You're no longer a virgin!!" Jason answered grinning and giggling.

Ryan turned his eyes to Sebastian and looked at Sebastian
knowingly. Sebastian couldn't help but giggle.

"Hey?! What's going on? Why are you two looking at each other like that?"

Ryan shrugged his shoulder laughing until Jason tickled him. "Okay! Well
we've sort of been sucking each other since we met..."

His eyes grew as large as serving platters. "Why haven't I been included in
this...game?" Jason tried to act angry but he couldn't help himself
giggling further.

"Eeeewww!! We're cousins you dork!"

"Eeeww yourself!! I have no blood relations with Ryan you shit!"

Ryan grinned mischievously and dived underwater. Before Jason could
understand what was going on, his speedo had been tugged down to his thighs
and his morsel was in Ryan's mouth.

Jason whimpered, making Sebastian laugh knowing exactly how good it felt
receiving a blowjob.

"Fuck!! This feels good!" Jason exclaimed just as Ryan came up for air.

"Sit on the edge of the pool!" he told Jason who obeyed instantly. Ryan
stood in front of him, licking his lips, grinning widely. He pulled at
Jason's speedos until they were on his knees and pressed with his hands
until Jason got the point and opened his legs giving him greater access.

Ryan grasped Jason's boy gun in his hand and gave it a couple of strokes
before he bent forward licking the purple helmet-like glans in circles
before taking it all in his mouth.

"Uuughhhmmmm!!!" Jason whimpered arching his back, his hands shot by
instinct on Ryan's head, trying to hold him in place.

Sebastian had sat next to Jason and was watching it unfold as he
subconsciously jerked off his 4 inch noodle through his speedo.

Ryan was sucking Jason's boytoy, squeezing the tight ball sack with one
hand as the other caressed his best friend's abs and torso, making him moan
louder every time he toyed with his firm and now very erect nipples.

Jason had never felt this good before in his life, the sensations coming
from his nipples were sensational and were only matched and out-classed by
the ones coming from his beef whistle.

Goosebumps shuddered through his body making him shiver and see stars.

Just when he thought that it could not get any better, Ryan took the whole
thing in his mouth and the moans coming from his vocal chords vibrated his
already sensitive boy-gun. With a loud moan he pushed his pelvis forward
almost falling off the tiles into the water and unleashed a torrent of
sperm in his friend's sucking mouth. Jason saw it all, stars, galaxies,
many different universes as he arched his back falling backwards from the
most intense orgasm of his life so far, panting and heaving, his hands now
on his sides.

Ryan swallowed it all and dived underwater before coming up and sitting
between the two cousins.

"That! Was! BLEEDING BRILLIANT RYAN!!!" Jason almost screamed as he sat
properly and hugged his best friend, a huge goofy post-orgasmic grin on his
face covering almost from one ear to the other.

Ryan hugged him back, "Well...there's something else as well that has
been...troubling me the last couple of days...but I'm not sure why...I
hadn't thought about it for some time...it's been...I mean..." he sighed
surrendering to the fact that he didn't know how to tell them. Jason
provided the rescue.

"It has to do with your father dying, doesn't it?" He asked softly, looking
at his friend.

"Yes, how do y...?" Ryan started asking with tears bottling up in his eyes,
but Jason interrupted him.

"You're feeling guilty because you no longer feel any pain from him dying
don't you? You think that by...no longer feeling grief so intense as at
first you are somehow forgetting him or betraying him, don't you?" Jason
asked him compassionately rubbing his back, like he already knew the
answer.

"Y...yeah...yes..." Tears now streaked down his cheeks, his face hung low.

Both Jason and Sebastian hugged him close and tight.

"Don't feel guilty Ryan. It is a natural progression of grief, it is normal
and in many ways good. Your father wouldn't want you to be sad forever. He
would want you to enjoy life, be happy, create a life...a family of your
own one day.  He wouldn't want you kept in the past by memories and things
you cannot change and had no part in doing." Jason whispered to his ear,
himself crying softly. Ryan understood how he knew, how he could understand
him like so. He had probably felt much the same when his mother died and
his father left them, although he still did not know why or how any of that
had happened.

They stayed like that for a while, until the heat was too much and they
jumped back in the water to cool off.

A set of eyes had been watching them the whole time since Ryan first dived
underwater, now their owner, a shadow behind a short tree with lush leaves,
turned around and entered the house.

As July progressed into its second half, the repairs on the marble columns
and floors finished and the temperatures soared even higher making the boys
spend almost every waking hour by the pool or lake trying to cool off, the
Manor built without an air conditioning unit offering little to no comfort
from the blistering heat.

A few days later, he, Jason, Sebastian and the twins were swimming in the
lake to cool off after helping with painting the walls and the crew with
the repairs and changes in any faulty plumbing and electrical circuits. He
was sunbathing while this good weather lasted, while the others were
swimming and splashing in the murky water. Even Malthe was splashing
around, having Sebastian throw him off his shoulders for dives, giggling
and screaming in joy and excitement.  It was true that while his overall
behaviour had not changed, smaller, less noticeable things had changed
since they had left the city.

Back in the city, he never talked to anyone outside the family, except his
teachers at school and only when demanded that he did, usually lost in his
writing numbers and designs that no one seemed to understand. Now he talked
to Jason and Sebastian as well and he had talked some with Enora, whereas
he had never talked to Johanna. It was not that he was talking as much as
the rest of them. That had not changed, but at least some, few times he
did, either answering a question or asking something, whereas in the past
he would only point to what he wanted and wait until it was given to
him. Now he did both.

Christian, on the other side, had picked up one of Malthe's habits, as he
now seemed to sketch on a sketchpad, but unlike his brother he drew not
complex designs and numbers but insects and anything and everything from
the animal kingdom he had access to such as insects, small mammals and
birds from the forest. He had also started to, at Malthe's and the
servants' great dismay, bring home insects to dissect and make more
sketches of their anatomy, their behaviour and their habitat.

For now, Christian was trying in vain to tickle Sebastian while Malthe was
playing and splashing a bit further closer to the shore with Jason.

"Give it up Christian! There's no way you can tickle me when I can see
you!" Sebastian teased him, his affection to the younger boy growing by the
day. Christian's infectious laughter and warm smile made him smile as well,
but of late, he could not control himself when near him. He wanted to
always hug him, kiss his cheeks and tickle him. He could attribute those
feelings to thinking Christian as the younger brother he never had but
always wanted, but when he caught himself ogling at the kid's crotch or
thinking how smooth his cheek was or how he loved touching Christian in
order to hug him or tickle him, he would always feel such intense guilt
after, such fear that he might do something to hurt the brother of his new
and true best friend.

Christian lunged at Sebastian, breaking him away from his thoughts trying
to part the older boys' hands to gain access to his ribs. Sebastian
countered him, grabbed both his hands in one hand, turned him round and
proceeded to tickling his tummy with his other hand, trailing ever lower
until he stopped himself just below Christian's belly button and above his
something less than one inch boy noodle, his very erect something less than
one inch boy noodle.

Christian let out a barely audible whimper when Sebastian stopped
descending and looked back at Sebastian with a mischievous grin on his
face.

He turned round and hugged Sebastian causing a torrent of different and
opposite feelings and emotions to flood the older boy's mind, like a flood
that overwhelms a dam until it breaks.

They hugged each other tight. "It feels good like this!" Christian
whispered as he purred like a kitten in Sebastian's embrace.

Sebastian cleared his throat, "I...uhmm...yes I...it feels good to hug you
Christian...let's...let's go outside and play some football Chris?"
Sebastian tried to let Christian down but the boy had his legs wrapped
around Sebastian's waist and hands around his neck and would not let go no
matter how Sebastian tried to untangle himself from Christian.

They stayed like that for some time. "C...Christian? What are you doing?!"
Sebastian asked terrified when Christian snaked one of his hands lower
until it was pressed between their two bodies and up against Sebastian's
growing drum stick.

Sebastian's eyes grew so large that it made Christian think he was from
some sort of Japanese manga where, in hyperbole, the eyes not only go out
of their sockets but almost become larger than the owner's head. At any
rate, it made Christian giggle at the thought and Sebastian's facial
expression.

"CHRISTIAN!!" Sebastian almost screamed but kept his voice down, looking
around to see if anyone had seen or even more dreadfully seen. "Christian,
what do you think you're doing?! Stop it at once!"

Christian ignored him, giggling and continued to rub Sebastian's
meat-stick, now very erect from Christian's slow ministrations.

"Ch...Christian please stop!" Sebastian whimpered and tried to remove the
boy's hand from his dick but to his horror not only he did not succeed, but
a now hard breathing Christian tugged at his speedo and in his hand went,
now stroking him with his hand actually wrapped around his teen
rod. Sebastian gasped and took a fast and sharp intake of breath closing
his eyes.

Christian was stroking his hard-on with great proficiency.

"A product of all the fooling around he has done with his twin brother,"
Sebastian thought, trying to get his mind from the incredible sensations he
was receiving.

"Please...s...stop. Someone will see us!!" Had it been Jason or Ryan, he
wouldn't have mind but Christian was so young and he didn't want either his
cousin or his best friend thinking he was taking advantage of the young boy
for his own sexual gratification. But all such thought perished quite fast
when Christian nuzzled his head in his neck and rubbed his thumb over his
purple mushroom head and piss slit. He thrust on the boy's hand, feeling
the much smaller speedo-covered prick on the other side against his as
well.

The others were completely oblivious though, well almost everyone. Ryan was
half-asleep lying on his stomach under the hot sun so that his back could
bake as well, and Jason was busy throwing Malthe up in the air, making the
youngster laugh and scream at the vertigo, the attention and the fun he was
receiving. If Ryan had seen them he would have been quite astonished at
Jason being able to lift Malthe onto his shoulders and then eject him
skywards before gravity would take over pulling the little boy back down
towards the water.

With one final moan and a thrust, Sebastian came in Christian's jerking
hand, flooding the lake water with his boy-seed.

Christian giggled and removed his hand, giving the dazed from his
post-orgasmic high Sebastian a peck on the lips and left to join Ryan on
the shore. "That was fun," he whispered in Sebastian's ear before he left.

Sebastian was at a loss for words as he came down from his high and giving
his now sensitive digit a squeeze, he raised his speedo up and above his
package. He had never before been so confused in his life. He had never
felt so good before. Not even Ryan's mouth could make him feel so good, but
on the other hand, now that he had his sanity back, he felt such strong
guilt that he didn't stop this and allowed it to continue, and, to boot,
his girlfriend had never even come close to making him feel like this, not
that she had tried. She had only stroked him once or twice, never wanting
to do more than that, but the way Ryan made him feel whenever he sucked
him, and now Christian's hand-job.

He was ready to go to tears when he sighed and dived underwater, giving off
a scream of frustration that no one heard, the water absorbing it in its
murky confines.

Christian lay next to Ryan giving him a hug.

"Hey Chris, having fun?" Ryan asked him coming out of his half-asleep
stupor, smiling at the younger boy. "Looks like you're getting a nice tan
bro!"

"Sure do Ry! So hot, and I usually walk around the forest shirtless, too
hot to do so otherwise!" Christian said, pushing his little chest outwards
as if to emphasize and boast his tan grinning from ear to ear.

Ryan tousled his hair and propped up to his hands.

"So what do you want to do Chris?"

"THROW ME IN THE WATER!!" Christian nearly screamed in excitement.

Ryan chuckled at the young boy's enthusiasm and got up, dusting off the
sand and crumbled pebbles from his speedo and skin.

They went in the water and Ryan started splashing around and throwing
Christian in the water from his shoulders, making the little guy scream and
laugh.

They played around in and out of the water and ended up playing football,
two against two with Sebastian as a goalie for the longest of time until
Sebastian suggested they go back to the Manor and sit on the
loungers. Christian looked a tad bit disappointed at first but then grinned
and exclaimed that he would just go to his pond in the forest and explore
some more.

They gathered their things and started walking towards the sand and rock
path with Cedrus trees on its left and right that led to the Manor when
they heard voices coming their way.

At first they sounded far off and unrecognisable but then Ryan made out one
of the voices.

"What is he doing here? This is private property," he thought and walked
back towards the lake. The others followed him.

Ryan sighed when he saw who it was. "What do you want here Terry? This part
of the lake is private property. Please just go back beyond that hill where
it's part of the Brave Lake natural reserve and is public land," he said,
the older teen looking irritated; there was another boy with him who he had
not seen before.

Terry laughed as if having heard the best joke and made his day. "The lake
is available to all little boy! You can't stop me from accessing public
land you shit!" he sniggered and tried to walk past Ryan.

The other boy stood a few meters behind but said nothing and didn't look
amused at Terry's retorts. He looked exercised with a nice six pack forming
on his belly and abs and had broad shoulders and arms that conveyed
strength.  As far as Ryan could see, he had no hair on his body except a
treasure line below his belly button and some arm pit hair. He had short
flame red hair that was kept at ear length and an elongated, almost
egg-shaped head. Under different circumstances, he could be thought of as
cute and he seemed equally interested on Ryan and Sebastian and Jason as
they were on him. Ryan looked back at the irritation named Terry.

Ryan stood in front of him, blocking his way. "No it's not available to all
Terry, not this part of the lake. According to the deeds of ownership of
the Estate from that hill to the west to the sandy beach to the east is
part of the Estate and private property and you're trespassing. Now just go
back mate," he said, increasingly pissed off at him.

"Come on Terry don't be an arse, let's just go back to wayward beach behind
the hill," the other boy said, turning to leave.

Terry snapped his head at him. "Don't be such a pussy Uriel. We're staying
and there's nothing this little shit can do!"  he said, angered at Uriel's
sudden desertion.

"Christian, Malthe go fetch Peter please. Jason, call the police and tell
them that Terry is trespassing on private property," Ryan said calmly, not
taking his eyes off Terry. Christian turned and ran towards the estate but
Malthe didn't move from where he was standing, looking at the unraveling
incident and everyone involved. Jason started rummaging through his
backpack for his mobile phone.

"You're such a fucking asshole Terry! Fuck you, I never wanted to be
friends with you anyways. I've had it with you!  I'm sorry...Ryan isn't it?
I didn't know about this part of the lake being private property," Uriel
said and started walking back towards the hill. Terry looked enraged at him
and then back at Ryan.

Jason found his phone and started pressing with his index finger on the
touch screen, dialing a number.

Ryan had the same defensive-aggressive stance with his hands on his sides
as he did on the smoothie place that first day.

Terry moved his hand dismissively. "This shit ain't worth my time!" he said
angrily and started walking back towards the hill.

"What a colossal jerk!" Ryan said and turned to Jason, Malthe and Sebastian
who had moved to his side to provide backup if Terry had decided to attack
Ryan.

Ryan smiled and passed a hand on Sebastian's shoulders, giving him quick
squeeze to convey his thanks and affection.

Jason closed his mobile's screen, throwing it back in his backpack and
Malthe ran to Ryan and hugged him.

They started walking in the Cedrus path, the Cedrus leaves giving off a
melancholic scent as if begging them to stay amongst them a little while
longer and share the sunshine.

Peter appeared walking towards them with Christian following behind
him. "Are you guys okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, it was just that jerk Terry but he left without much fuss," Ryan
said but decided not to mention Uriel's presence.  The teen had after all
said he was sorry and denounced his "friendship" to Terry on the spot so
Ryan felt there was no need to involve him in this. He didn't look like a
bad person or a jerk to Ryan's eyes, and he always had a knack on judging a
character.

"I might have to call Terry's parents and talk to them if this harassment
and hustle continues," Peter said calmly.

"Well his mother anyways. His father left them when Terry was only
five. Jack is more of a father to him than anyone else on the village,"
Jason said with a sad tone in his voice.

"I can take care of myself!" Ryan said defensively, as if Peter had
challenged his "manhood" or his ability to protect himself and/or his
brothers and friends.

"I never said otherwise, but much like either of our parents would have
said and done should they have been present at a situation like this one, I
must act like a parent from now on Ry. I am not trying or want to undermine
your skills or abilities or...manhood but I have to act before things get
out of hand if I deem that they are about to get out of hand."

"He's just an ordinary bully Peter. I doubt he'll do much more than curse,
swear and threaten me or us and if he does, then I know what to do."

"And what if he decides to spring a knife at you or actually apply what he
knows of karate? Yes your abilities are excellent and will only increase
but do not ever underestimate anyone Ryan. Do that and it will be your
downfall.  Anyone's downfall. Always be ready to fight and die if you go
into a fight. Are you ready to do that?"

"Uhhh...no...but it will never come to that," Ryan said, suddenly unsure if
he could do what Peter was suggesting.  "I think I would...could die for
one I care about...but it will not come to that with this idiot."

"Despair is a bad advisor and an even worse enemy. Do not underestimate
anyone Ryan...and never get into a fight if you're not sure. It will end
badly for you."

"What has despair got to do with Terry?" Sebastian asked.

"I do not know what goes through his mind Sebastian, but usually bullies
are like that because they feel insecure, threatened or afraid or even in
despair, much like a small dog will bark at larger dog but the larger dog
will completely ignore it. I do not know why Terry is a bully or why he
behaves like he does but if one was to understand his motives and his
thoughts, one would usually find insecurity, threat to him, fear or even
despair at the core of it. That, however, does not mean that I or anyone
else should have to suffer a bully, any bully, and I will bring down an
ending to it if I have to, but if Terry is understood, he can be made to
stop or even change to a friend...before it is too late to change," Peter
said, leaving them deep in thought.

They started walking towards the Manor, but Malthe grabbed hold of Jason's
wrist and held him back a few paces from the others.

He tugged on his hand until Jason got the point and kneeled in front of
him, looking at him quizzically but affectionately.

Malthe bent forward until his lips where by Jason's ears and whispered to
him.

Jason looked at him but said nothing. Malthe shrugged his shoulders and
started walking.

"So what happened with Johanna? Why did you two break up?" Jason asked
Ryan. They were lying on the loungers, Malthe playing inside the pool,
diving and coming back up again while Christian had left for the forest.

Ryan looked at him, shrugging his shoulders. "I don't know mate. Girls are
weird! She said she liked hanging out with me and...well...you know...but
she would make no compromises. She did not want to come to Brave Lake
Village or the Manor, always wanting me to go to her village or the mall
and then she would only want to watch movies she liked, never what I
liked...and she broke up with me when I said enough is enough and that I
was the only one making compromises ...whatever..."

"Sooo...have any new girlfriend?" Sebastian asked.

Ryan chuckled, "No mate, we three have been together most of the
time. You'd know if I did, but I'm not complaining...  I mean I'm only
thirteen right? And before coming here I only had my hand to pleasure
me...and well Ben's hand as well...I've had more action the past month than
all of my previous life combined, so I'm good!" Ryan said, smiling.

"Well we can always have fun together Ryan!" Sebastian said impulsively,
and the moment the words left his mouth, he blushed a deep shade of crimson
and turned his head in embarrassment.

Ryan blushed as well and shrugged his shoulders, "I wouldn't mind
to... play some later," he said.

Malthe watched the exchange and then went in the Manor as he said to have a
shower and then he had an idea to write down on his pad.

Sometime later, Mr. Giles opened the large glass doors and walked towards
them. "Ryan, Mr. Jarrow would like you to shower and get ready to head out
to town as soon as possible," he told them before heading back in.

"Okay Darren, we'll get on it right away," Ryan answered the man, smiling.

Jason washed first and Ryan got in the shower with Sebastian to save on
time, oblivious at that moment his own words for later on play.

Ryan turned round so that Sebastian could soap him up. "Want to have some
fun now ba...Ryan?" Sebastian whispered in a husky voice in his ear, making
him whimper when he felt his friend's hand wrap around his joystick giving
it a playful tug.

Ryan moaned when he felt himself being stroked slowly by one of his best
friends. He groaned in disappointment when seconds later, Sebastian stopped
his ministrations and turned him round again, kissing his lips and then
lower and lower, paying extra attention to his nipples and belly button and
lower until he had Ryan's flesh-tube in his mouth sucking it, licking the
mushroom-like head, his hands on Ryan's soft butt cheeks pulling him and
pushing him in and out of his sucking mouth.

Ryan moaned louder, his hands on Sebastian's head gripping tightly to
steady himself as his overwhelmed-by-all-the- pleasure-signals brain was
starting to have difficulty processing anything else, making his legs shake
and his breathing faster and faster. Sebastian sucked on his ball sack,
taking each of them in his mouth before returning to Ryan's hard-as-nail
dick and sucking it faster, bobbing his head up and down, savouring both
the taste and the boy-smell coming from his friend which was becoming
intoxicating to him, causing him mixed feelings of equal measure and
intensity.

Not minutes later Ryan heaved, moaning and groaning as he held on to
Sebastian's head and shoved his now firing gun as deep inside Sebastian's
mouth as he possibly could.

He was still in his post-orgasmic high when there was a knock on the
bathroom door. "Hurry up you two, we need to get going!" Peter yelled from
outside.

It took them both by such a surprise that Ryan almost fell in the
tub. Sebastian steadied him as they both fell into a fit of giggles.

"Yes we're coming, hold your horses!" Ryan yelled back, both of them now
laughing hard.

They rinsed and dried up and got out and Jason stared at their
expressions. Peter wasn't in the room. Ryan poked his tongue out and tried
to jump him and start tickling him but with one look between them, the
cousins teamed up and soon they were rolling on the floor, Ryan
overpowered, laughing and kicking.

"Enough! Enough! I yield you cheating buggers!" Ryan told them, freeing his
hands from Sebastian's grip.

When they were all dressed, they descended the now repaired stairs of wood,
metal and marble down to the living room where Peter waited for them with
the twins next to him on either side.

"Why do you need us to come with you to town?"

"I want you to help me select our new dojo. I don't intend on not doing
aikido now that we're here."

Ryan smiled, "Okay, sure," he said.

"I will help as well! I got great taste!" Christian quipped, looking up at
Peter and grinning. Peter chuckled and ruffled his hair.

The drive to town was a short one. "I've marked the location of an already
existing karate dojo in town. We'll visit that one first and go from
there," Peter said as he parked the car and they got out.

Ryan remembered Terry's words the very first day he met him. "...I am the
karate regional champion..." He looked at Peter, unsure of this. "I don't
know if that's a good idea, Terry goes to this dojo."

They left Jason and Sebastian at the diner. Maria and Peter shared a kiss
that had the five boys giggling in seconds.  "So we're on for tomorrow
night baby?" Peter asked her, smiling broadly and feeling content to be in
her arms.

"Yes, at eight babe?" She said, blushing at being so open in front of her
younger brother, his friend, his cousin and the few customers that were in
the diner at the time, but she did like Peter. He was so different from
everyone else in town and anyone else she had met so far. He made her feel
safe, secure and happy. He was gentle, loving, funny and intelligent if
only a bit withdrawn, but he was opening up to her slowly and she didn't
mind the wait.

"Yes, I'll pick you up and we'll drive."

"If you would only tell me where we're going!"

"If I told you it would not be a surprise, now would it?" Peter said, a
hand round her waist. He kissed her again, a simpler peck on the lips this
time.

She giggled and kissed him back. "Where are you three off to?" she asked.

"Well I'm searching for a place to either host my aikido dojo or rent a
place to start my own," he answered her back, giving her one more peck on
the lips before saying their farewells as they left.

They entered the karate dojo. Peter saw one of the students there and asked
him for the owner or sensei. The man didn't even bother speaking and just
pointed at a door in the back. Ryan thought he was rather rude even if he
didn't speak.  Peter knocked on the office door.

"Yes, who the hell is it?" a voice asked from the other side of the
door. It reminded Ryan one of those voices Hollywood gangster movies have,
like the vocal chords have been damaged or something.

He saw Peter frown as he opened the door. The man, a tall, muscular man
with grey hair, stood behind it. He was wearing his white training clothes
with a black belt around them. Ryan thought he looked like a bulldog and
just as ugly. He looked to be in his mid-forties.

"Hello sir, my name's Peter Jarrow. I wanted to discuss with you if I could
use your dojo to teach aikido. I will be paying my due on the rent of
course," Peter said as politely as he could as he extended his hand.

The man didn't say anything at first as he sized up Peter with his eyes. He
didn't shake Peter's hand.

"Aikido? You mean that sissy "martial arts" that one doesn't want to hurt
the opponent? Well I don't usually allow for such weakness around my dojo
but if you're willing to pay up a portion of the rent, we can discuss
it. My name's Jack Graham, national winner four years in a row a few years
back," he said and Ryan could instantly tell that Peter disliked him
already and if Terry was in this dojo, he had taken after the man's bullish
behaviour. His estimate of Jack being a bulldog, he thought, was accurate
so far.

"I see. Could we watch your training session, Jack sensei?" he said calmly.

"Yes, you can, but make no noise and do not disturb us. If you sit to
watch, you will have to wait until we are finished to leave," Jack told
them.

Ryan spotted Terry and the other teenager from earlier in the day, although
they did not appear to be talking to each other.  In fact Uriel went to
great lengths to be as far away from Terry as possible.

When Uriel saw him, he smiled and waved at him. Ryan reciprocated, but
ignored Terry's venomous stare completely.

They sat in some chairs and Jack started the warm up. The moment the warm
up finished, he could almost instantly tell there was no way Peter would
remain here either to watch or to use as his dojo. Jack was insulting and
intimidating to his students, especially to the teenagers. His methods were
very forceful and hurtful to both body and mind. In fact only Terry,
another teen and an older man looked to be enjoying it at all. Uriel looked
really sad and unhappy.

"Come on boys get up, we're leaving," he whispered to Ryan and got up.

"Where the hell do you think you're going? I told you no one leaves until
the session is over!" Jack barked at them, looking really angry as if Peter
was directly challenging his authority by leaving before training's end.

"We live in a free country Mr. Graham, and I really do not like your way of
teaching as well as your philosophy. I will not be housed in the same dojo
as you," Peter replied calmly but with ferocity in his eyes.

"This is the only fucking way to teach these boys! Any boys! To make men
out of them and make them competitive and strong," Jack continued to yell,
his face red with anger.

"Judo is not about being better than anyone else. It is only about being
better today than you were yesterday.  Intimidating, forcing and abusing
one's students is never an acceptable practice even in a competitive sport
like Karate. One can gain more by giving the carrot than with the stick. As
I said, I will not be housed in the same dojo with someone who teaches this
way."

Jack tried to grab him by his shoulder, but in a flash of a move, Peter
pivoted around him in complete three hundred and sixty degree turn and
grabbed him by his neck, one hand round Jack's neck, the other one holding
it from behind as well as applying pressure to it. The next instant, he
jumped off the ground and wrapped his legs round Jack's waist pulling him
to the ground.

"As I said Mr. Graham we're leaving and just because in Aikido we try and
desire not to harm our opponent does not mean that we cannot or are unable
to if we have to," he told him loud enough to be heard as Jack struggled to
release himself from the strangle hold Peter had on him. Peter turned them
round so that Jack faced the floor and got up releasing him. They left.

No one had dared move against him, not even the adults. Peter's face was
calm as always but for the first time Ryan had seen something...else under
it, as if he was looking at the calm water but under it there was a great
white shark waiting to jump out of the water. It made the hair on the back
of his neck stand up.

He had never before felt afraid of Peter and he hoped that he never would
again.

For the next few hours, they went from property to property trying to find
one that suited the dojo's needs. Most did not have high enough ceilings
and that meant that they would not be able to train in the Bokken and Jo,
the staff and wooden sword. Some did not have enough room for a large
enough training area and/or locker rooms.

"Hmmm...looks like this is the last of the property being rented at the
moment in the Village. If this doesn't work out we will have to go
searching in one of the other villages," Peter said, looking at the
building.

"Well it used to be a gym until it closed down a few years ago. It's been
unused ever since then," Ryan said as they walked in past the door, the
owner of the place was waiting for them.

"Hello, Mr. Jarrow I presume?" he asked, smiling and extending his hand.

They smiled back.

"Yes Mr. Pembroke, and these are my brothers, Ryan, Christian and Malthe."

"Hello there gents! How are you today?" he asked, looking at the boys.

"Fine, thank you sir," Ryan said smiling.

"I'm Christian. That one, the uglier one, is Malthe!" Christian quipped,
giggling.

"We are identical silly!" Malthe said rolling his eyes, taking what
Christian said literally and not in the sarcastic, teasing mood that it was
told.

"I know silly, but that always makes you speak!" Christian said back,
poking his tongue out at his identical counterpart.  Malthe rolled his eyes
again and poked Christian's ribs.

"Boys...behave," Peter said, chuckling.

Mr. Pembroke chuckled as well and opened the inner entrance door. "Well
this is the place. This is the main workout area, or at least it used to
be. It has two changing rooms for men and women, and a small room with
windows all round.  The main workout room had a high ceiling and was large
enough a space.

"This place is cool! Large enough room, high ceiling, two locker rooms, and
the smaller room can be used as an office," Ryan said, looking around.

"Yes, I agree. We'll rent it Mr. Pembroke." Peter negotiated the price and
then they shook hands. "Oh if I may ask for a favour Mr. Pembroke, please
do not tell anyone in town about this yet, I would like the opening to be a
surprise."

"Yes, of course Mr. Jarrow," the owner said and held the door open for
them. "I will drop by the lease contract tomorrow at the Manor Mr. Jarrow."

"Thank you."

"You don't want any trouble from Jack, do you? He seems to have some
influence in this Village because everyone's afraid of him, right?" Ryan
asked him as they walked to the diner.

"Yes, at least until the contract is signed and he can do nothing about
it. I don't want him learning of this.  I am not afraid of him but he could
intimidate or threaten the owner as I'm sure he did to close down the
previous gym that used to work there," Peter replied.

"Hello guys, babe!" Maria said smiling widely.

"Hello Maria, Jason, Sebastian!" Ryan bumped knuckles with his friends.

"Did you find a location?" Sebastian asked.

Peter looked around if anyone was close to listen in. The tables near them
were empty.

"Yes, and I rented it, but I want all four of you not to tell anyone until
the dojo opens. I don't want the...wrong people hearing about it and
causing us problems," Peter said looking at them all.

"Sure thing Peter," Jason said, nodding his head at Peter affirmatively.

"Yes sir," Sebastian replied. Maria nodded her head and caressed his hand.

They ate and then Peter left with Christian, but Malthe stayed behind.

"It's still early, what do you guys want to do?" Ryan asked.

"We could go biking in the trails in the Estate forest?" Sebastian
suggested. Ryan nodded his head. Jason and Malthe shrugged their
shoulders. They each gave Maria a kiss and left.

They rode and circled around in the forest trails for a few hours, laughing
and chasing each other, exploring the forest then they came upon a stream
of running water and they followed it upstream to a small pond with a
waterfall feeding it. The pond looked crystal clear and the water so
inviting.

"It's so bleeding hot! How about we go skinny dipping in the pond?" Ryan
asked them, grinning mischievously.

"Y...yeah sure!" Sebastian answered. Jason shrugged his shoulders but
grinned as well. Malthe said nothing but started removing his t-shirt
before they started undressing. Then they were as naked as the day they
were born. They stared at each other, giggling nervously and then ran to
the water, splashing and playing around in the clear water.

When the sun started descending and they started shivering as it got
colder, they went outside to dry up but Ryan had plans in his mind.

He held Sebastian's wrist in his and walked them to some tall bushes a few
meters away from the pond. Jason and Malthe sat on the ground with Jason
trying to start a conversation. If he wasn't about to go all naughty with
Sebastian, Ryan would have laughed so hard he would be clutching at his
belly.

Ryan grinned widely and kneeled in front of Sebastian, the bushes covering
them completely from un-searching prying eyes.

"I owe you a blowjob from earlier," he said and before anyone could say
anything, he was on his knees and had Sebastian's knob in his mouth licking
it with his tongue, bathing it all over with his warmth and saliva. It
didn't take long for Sebastian to start moaning and bucking his hips,
trying to get his very loaded and erect boy-gun as far inside Ryan's
sucking, warm, wet mouth as he could.

Ryan smiled round Sebastian's hardened nail and kneaded his hands on his
friend's soft but muscular buttocks, all the biking having exercised his
gluts and thighs.

Ryan got an idea in his devilish mind. He stopped sucking Sebastian's
boydick for a few seconds, eliciting a very annoyed groan from
Sebastian. Ryan giggled and licked his index finger and resumed sucking
Sebastian's pecker. Seconds later, Sebastian felt something probing on his
puckered anus. His eyes shot open in surprise but he knew he did not
mind. He trusted Ryan and as his finger entered to the first knuckle he
understood that he liked it despite the initial spike of pain and
discomfort.

Ryan sucked him faster, playing with his sperm sack with his free hand now
fingering him fully and faster with each inward thrust, twisting it round
as if he was trying to find something in there, but for the love of life or
money, Sebastian could not understand what that was but his thoughts were
sharply interrupted as Ryan found what he was searching for and the tip of
his finger rubbed against it while sucking at his tasty sperm firing
machine.

Sebastian's whole existence was rocked in the most intense, unbelievable,
soul tearing orgasm in his life so far.  He bit his lips to stifle the loud
moans and groans that would otherwise have escaped his mouth, his hands on
Ryan's head, suddenly on his curbed toes, his legs quivering from the
intense pleasure overwhelming his brain.

Ryan swallowed the sweet boy nectar and smacked his lips when Sebastian's
lollipop popped out of his mouth. He removed his finger from Sebastian's
rectum eliciting a moan from Sebastian as he suddenly and for the first
time in his life he felt...empty down there, confusing him even more. But
he knew one thing for sure. He loved what had just happened which confused
him even more, but for now, his post-orgasmic high did not allow for much
conscious thought.

Sebastian's legs wobbled as Ryan lowered him to the ground and kissed him,
sharing his own cum with him.

"You taste good for a boy!" Ryan teased him playfully, breaking the kiss.

"Ummgmmm..." Sebastian mumbled, moaning as he pulled him back in, kissing
him more.

Ryan chuckled and pulled back, "Come on, we need to get back!" he said and
got up. He helped Sebastian up and they walked back to Malthe and
Jason. Malthe was writing something at his textpad whereas Jason was
looking at the pond, having abandoned the effort to strike a conversation
with Malthe.

"It's getting dark. We should go back," Ryan said as he wore his
clothes. They wore their clothes and started biking back towards the Manor.

"You're back!" Christian yelled when he saw them drop their bikes on the
road and climb up the stairs. He hugged his brothers and then went to hug
Sebastian but at the last moment he started tickling his ribs. They ended
up sort of wrestling trying to grab each other's hands while trying to
tickle each other. As expected, Sebastian easily "won" that wrestling
attempt and held his hands behind his back with one hand and tickled him
with the other until the boy was on hysterical laughter, nearly falling on
the marble floor. He stopped and helped Christian up. Christian grinned
broadly at him and gave him a kiss on his cheek after hugging him close.

"Christian, you should really have a shower. You look like you were in a
battle with the ground and lost!" Ryan told him, chuckling. Christian was
covered with mud and soil from head to toe. The angelic boy giggled and
shrugged his shoulders, making Malthe's eyes roll again with a faint smirk
on his lips.

Sebastian couldn't help but notice his little melon like orbs jiggle as he
climbed the stairs. He couldn't believe that they were making him hard,
that a boy and one so young to boot was making him hard. He felt such guilt
with all of this, and with Christian being Ryan's younger brother even if
not biologically so, here he was having those thoughts and urges for his
best friend's younger brother.

"What's wrong? You look sad," Ryan asked him, rubbing his shoulder.

Sebastian tried to smile, "Oh...eh nothing, I'm okay really," he tried to
sound convincing.

"Okay, I guess. Want to have a shower with me?" Ryan asked him.

"Uhm...no it's okay I'll have one after." Sebastian really didn't want to
fool around at the moment and felt even more confused afterwards; he needed
to think alone for some time.

"I'll join you if you want?" Jason said, looking at Ryan with a mixture of
hope, playfulness and lust.

Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sure!"

Sebastian saw them running upstairs as he headed outside lost in his
thoughts. He paced back and forth between the loungers and the pool's edge,
unable to make heads or tails with his feelings new and old.

Malthe observed him from behind the glass doors for some time. He scribbled
some notes on his textpad and left for his room.

In Ryan's bathroom, Jason was rubbing and soaping Ryan's front, his torso
and abs. He took a nipple in his thumb and index finger and toyed with it
along with the steaming water, making Ryan moan. He twisted it a bit on the
rough side which made Ryan's eyes shoot wide open.

"Hey! You twerp, that hurt!" Ryan complained, giggling but then Jason
kneeled in front of him, biting his lower lip.

"I...uhm...want to...you know...give this a try..." Jason said and gave a
hesitant lick on Ryan's purplish helmet. He obviously didn't find the taste
bad. He smiled and wrapped his blood red lips around Ryan's hardening
spike. It was an awkward start but Jason soon caught up swallowing more and
more of Ryan's hotdog down his gullet.

Ryan moaned softly and grabbed hold of Jason's fritz dark blond hair and
just held on as his eyes closed and started moving his hips back and forth
slowly fucking Jason's mouth. Jason was at the same time bobbing his head
back and forth slowly but going faster. Both their breathing was getting
faster and shorter. Jason's hand had snaked to his horn between his legs
and was stroking it.

"This feels nice!" Jason stated, taking Ryan's testicles in his mouth,
bathing them with warm saliva. Ryan whimpered and moaned. Jason went back
to Ryan's digit, swallowing it whole in one go as he was dazed by lust. He
gagged some until, by instinct, he swallowed. He bobbed faster, holding a
soft, pillowy butt-cheek in each hand, pulling his friend to him and
wanting to devour him.

Ryan felt Jason's tongue go over his piss slit and then in it, pulling it
open slightly and, with a groan, he exploded in Jason's warm mouth. Jason
was taken aback from the volume of cum that was ejected from Ryan's boytool
but then pressed his lips against it firmly and sucked it all down although
some trickled down his chin.

Ryan giggled in his orgasmic high and breathed heavily, "You look so
fucking sexy with cum on your face Jason!" he said, giggling. Jason whipped
it up with his tongue and poked it out at him.

Meanwhile, the twins had finished their bath and were lying on Malthe's bed
in a sixty nine position sucking each other's identical wee-wees, rolling
on the bed, humming and moaning in pleasure, holding each other's perky,
bubble buttocks in their hands.

"Ughhmmm!!!" Christian groaned when he felt Malthe enter a finger slowly
inside him, his eyes shot open in surprise before closing them again.

"Where did you learn that?" he asked Malthe before going back to the toy
rubbing on his lips, swallowing it inside his mouth smiling at the new
pleasures coursing through his body like electric shocks.

"I saw Ryan do it to Sebastian, looked like Sebastian enjoyed it," Malthe
answered and returned back to Christian's hard nail.

Malthe started slowly pulling and pushing his finger from and in
Christian's firm butt. Christian moaned from the new pleasures he was
receiving but also giggled mischievously and pressed his fingers between
Malthe's butt-crack and then one inside the pink, puckered hole.

Malthe gave a squeal but did not stop sucking or fingering Christian's cute
butt.

They sucked and fingered, going faster and faster, moving their hips back
and forth moaning and breathing erratically, sweating and clutching at the
bed sheet, hips and thighs with their free hands until, with a final thrust
and muffled moans, they had their dry orgasms and lay next to each other
hugging and cuddling.

"Something the matter Sebastian?" Peter asked him from behind as he lay on
one of the loungers.

He turned his head and rose his back from the lounger. "Uhmm...no sir...uhm
Peter...just had things I needed to think," he said, rubbing his hands
together now feeling the night's cold.

"How is that going? Reached any conclusions to your existential thoughts?"
he asked, smiling warmly. It would seem that every boy goes through that
phase and thinking process, he thought, as he held the glass doors
open. "Why don't you come in before I have to explain you getting the cold
to your parents?" he asked teasingly.

"Ehh...no, no conclusions just yet but getting there...I think," Sebastian
answered him, also smiling as he got up from the lounger and got back
inside.

Ryan was on his knees in the bathtub, his hands on his friend's abs and
tummy roaming it gently, feeling the smooth developing muscles under his
hands, as he sucked Jason's snorkel equipment lathering it up with saliva,
his tongue traversing from head to hilt making Jason feel like he was
swimming in pleasure.

One hand came down from his abs to his smooth, firm buns caressing them,
squeezing them. Jason moaned, his head tilted back, breathing in and out
with short, sharp breaths.

"Ooww!" Jason squealed, feeling Ryan push a finger in his tight rectum door
deeper and deeper slowly, the vapors and hot running water acting as a
lube.

Jason held on tighter to Ryan's head as primal desire and instinct guiding
his actions as he started moving his hips back and forth faster, impaling
himself deeper in Ryan's licking and sucking mouth and on Ryan's invading
finger. Then, in one glorious moment, Ryan's finger fucking inside him,
twisting inside him found what it was looking for as if with a mind of its
own. It found it and rubbed on it for a few seconds. Jason pushed back on
it, craving more of that super intense feeling he had just felt.

Not a few intense seconds later with a loud moan Jason was spilling his
life giving seed down Ryan's mouth. He sat down in the bathtub next to
Ryan.

"Fuck! That was intense and amazing and awesome!!!" he said in nearly one
breath from the excitement. "What was that?  What did you do down there?"
he asked, amazed at how it had felt.

"Well I stuck a finger inside you and fingered you with it until I found
your prostate and rubbed it until you cummed.  Liked it?"

Jason hugged him all emotional and kissed his cheek, "If I liked it?? I
bloody loved it!!" he nearly yelled in his state of post-orgasmic, excited
and joyful high.

Ryan chuckled and hugged him back.

They dried each other and wore their pajamas, sleeping under the bed
sheets.

"Should we wake him up so we can all sleep together?" Jason asked, nodding
towards Sebastian who was sleeping alone in a sleeping bag.

Ryan thought for a second before nodding no, "No...I think he is thinking
some things through, we'll have plenty more sleepovers in any of our
houses, not just during the summer but after as well, let him sleep," he
whispered, explaining the reasoning behind his decision.

Jason nodded, turning off the bed-side lamp. They were asleep seconds after
due to all the physical exertion they had during the day and all that had
happened in general.

A few blissful, playful days full of biking, swimming, sunbathing, fooling
around and helping with what they could with the repairs in the Manor, the
three of them were in town. They ordered a smoothie each from Joey,
regulars by now like most of the kids and teenagers in town. They were
waiting by the counter, having paid, for Joey to prepare their smoothies
when Ryan heard the door open and close and looked at it, pivoting around
to see out of curiosity who had entered.

Time froze, as if everything and everyone stood still. The cutest, most
beautiful girl Ryan had ever seen walked towards Joey in the slowest of
slow motions smiling...at him? Had she noticed him?

She was about his height close to one hundred and fifty five
centimeters. She was, of course, slimmer, leaner than him, but with certain
parts beginning to develop from a girl's body to a woman's body as puberty
had started to kick in for her as well. Her breasts were starting to form
outwards from the early girl's flat torso and her legs looked so delicate,
at least the parts he could see below her skirt. She had a face that was
close to the golden ratio, nice sparkling big light blue eyes, rosy cheeks
with some light pimples, pink-red full lips that just begged to be kissed
softly, her nose and ears were just right for her face, neither too big nor
too small and dark brunette straw like hair that came down to her shoulders
and completed her complexion.

She made a sound that sounded like a giggle as she stood in front of
him. It broke his trance like state as he smiled back at her.

"Hello I am Ryan Jarrow, what's your name?" he asked her simply. There was
no need for theatrics or lame pickup lines even if they were only
teenagers.

She smiled, biting her lower lip. "I'm Enora Harrington I'm pleased to meet
you," she said in a voice that sounded like running water from a crystal
clear forest spring. She smelled like flowers and early spring just out of
the thaw, fresh and new.

"Do you want to all sit together?" she asked in the same voice that made
Ryan smile goofily.

"Yeah sure," Ryan answered. She ordered a smoothie and after picking them
up, they all sat down in a table outside enjoying the warm weather. She sat
right next to him.

"How've you been Jason? Sebastian?" she asked them.

"You know each other?" Ryan asked, taking a sip from his cranberry, honey
and saffron smoothie.

"Yeah, sure. We're in the same class. I guess you'll be with us come
September," Jason answered. "Enora was the only one up until recently that
was even talking to me...you know since my mother died and dad left..." he
said, smiling. Ryan could see the pang of guilt in Sebastian's face even if
for only a second.

Ryan couldn't stop staring at Enora and, each time, his heart would start
to race as she talked with Jason and Sebastian.

"So you live here in the village? I and my brothers just came here about a
month and a few weeks ago. We live in Black Lake Manor," Ryan offered,
hoping she lived in the Village.

"Yes, my father actually owns the smoothie place!! Oh that must be such a
brilliant place to live? I'd love to see it!  It's sort of a legend around
here! Oh you two must have seen it? Is it as beautiful as they say?!"

Ryan just loved how her voice sounded, how her lips moved and looked all
glistening and lush.

"Oh you have absolutely no idea Enora! It is amazing, but not nearly as
amazing as the Jarrows!" Jason said really fast and then blushed after
realising what he had just said. Ryan smiled and squeezed his shoulder.

"Yeah...I'm getting that, Ryan looks...cool!" Enora said, giggling and
blushing.

"Well Joey makes brilliant smoothies as well! It's an amazing place and he
is great!" Ryan said.

"What do you like to do...you know for fun?" Ryan asked her, leaning
forward closer to her.

"Well...I love to sing in the choir, watching movies, listening to music,
Facebook...how about you Ry?" she asked, grinning.

Ryan frowned. No one except his brothers called him that, but coming from
her lips he didn't mind.

They continued to talk, Enora finding Aikido "interesting" in a fit of
giggles until they finished their smoothies and Enora had to go.

"It was so nice meeting you Ry, Jason nice seeing you again," she said as
she got up from her chair.

"I was thinking...want to go out with me?" Ryan asked her with a confident
yet easy going and relaxed demeanor.

She rubbed her neck giggling. She looked around in the table until she
raised her brows, grabbed a paper napkin and got a pen from her backpack
and wrote her number on it giving it to Ryan.

"I'll call you," he said, grinning broadly. She smiled back and left.

Jason giggled and Sebastian rolled his eyes.

"What? She's...cute and funny and intelligent...and well...I like her,"
Ryan said, going red like a beetroot.

Jason giggled, grinning, "So what shall we do now?"

"Well we could go say hi to your sister? Grab something light to eat?" Ryan
suggested, getting up.

They walked to the diner and as they were ready to enter, Ryan saw the
owner of the diner mistreating Maria. His reaction was instant as his hand
automatically found his mobile phone.

As Ryan talked to Peter, Jason entered the diner to intervene but she saw
him and raised a hand stopping him in his tracks.  The diner owner
continued to scream at her obscenities and unfairness before he left for
the kitchen. It was not ten minutes later that Peter arrived, double
parking the car outside. He entered the diner looking angry but calm.

"Peter! What are you...oh...Ryan...no look it's okay...it's alright!" she
tried to stop him but he kissed her cheek and went in the kitchen.

"No, it is not okay, this ends here and now sweetheart," he said, smiling
at her.

He came out with the owner walking slowly, holding him firmly by his
shoulder. The owner looked to be in distress and pain.  He was wearing a
sleeveless shirt with an apron on top so his shoulders were
unclothed. Peter must have been holding him in a vice like grip since the
skin had lost all colour and looked pale in comparison to the rest of his
body.

"You will never speak to Maria rudely again, and you will never mistreat my
girlfriend again. I know that you will adhere to your better nature or I
will have to adhere to my less pleasant one. Am I understood sir?" Peter
spoke calmly but with finality and a hidden menace in his voice. The man
gulped and shook his head that he understood.

"Good man." Peter let him go and patted his back as if they were the best
of friends. The man left for the kitchen again in a hurry looking like a
wet cat.

He turned to Maria and smiled. She was biting her lower lip, blushing and
looking really happy, holding her hands in front of her and interlocking
her fingers together.

"So I'm your girlfriend then, am I?" she asked, grinning.

"I would think so...certainly hope so baby!" he hugged her, kissing her
softly. "Are we still on for Wednesday night?"  he asked her in a whisper.

"Yes...and I have a surprise for you baby!" she whispered back to him.

He smiled, holding her close to him and looking straight into her eyes. "I
love surprises when they come from such attractive women!"

"Oh...? And you see a lot of women here in the village? Should I be
worried?" she asked teasingly, grinning mischievously.

"N...no...no..." he stuttered back at her before seeing her smile. He
chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. "You little vixen! Come here you!"
he said, bringing her even closer, kissing her deeply, passionately.

He let her go, his hand lingering on her hand a few seconds more.

"Ryan, the tatami and other requirements have been installed at the dojo. I
just placed announcements of when the first practice is throughout the
village and I'm about to spread more in the nearby villages as well. First
practice is day after tomorrow and if we have enough children I want you to
handle the children's classes. It will be good for you to start teaching
even if you are still a teenager," he told Ryan.

"I...I don't think I can do that Peter. I mean I've never taught anyone
before," Ryan answered hesitantly.

Peter chuckled good-naturedly. "You've been training in Aikido since you
were almost six. You are now thirteen, almost fourteen. You can teach a
bunch of six to twelve year olds that have never done anything like this
before the very basics of Aikido. The lessons won't have so much techniques
and actual Aikido as much as learning the proper stances, teaching them
reflexes, awareness and teaching their bodies how to develop through the
exercise, train their motor functions, and agility so you'll do just
fine. It wasn't all that long ago when you were that age, you should
remember some of it and I'll show you the rest," He said as they all sat
down in a table by the window.

"I guess you're right," Ryan replied, feeling now surer of his potential
teaching abilities from Peter's assurance towards him.

"What if Jack or Terry decide to harass you or the dojo? Or start harassing
the students?" Jason asked, looking at Peter.

"They won't. They may be bullies and jackasses but they are not stupid as
that would be illegal, especially the harassing the students part or try
and vandalize the dojo. Bullies are essentially craven dogs that go for the
weaker targets to feel better of themselves, decrease their own
insecurities by pointing out any and all weaknesses of others and gain some
sadistic pleasure from the pain and suffering they inflict to their
victims. Stand up to them, ignore them, show them that you are not as weak
as they originally thought, fight if you must and they go away towards
other weaker targets. But! If they do decide to do something like
that...well they'll sorely discover what I am capable of doing to protect
those I love and care about, my students and my livelihood. They do not
want that, I can assure you Jason, and they know it. If they don't know it
or comprehend it, then I'll teach them," Peter said in a calm voice but
again Ryan heard that...primal creature stirring beneath the calm, but
without as of yet disturbing the mirror-like water's surface, lying in wait
for it to be unleashed.

"I guess that makes sense...but Terry is actually trained in martial
arts..." Sebastian pointed out.

"Terry may be an exception to the "fight them if you must" part Sebastian,
unless you've got equal or greater training, but most, if not all bullies,
are not like him, nor do they have those skills. But all bullies rely on
their victims feeling powerless against them, feeling like they can't
possibly defend against them or push them away or feel like, if they even
attempt to, they will be humiliated further or struck down or that the
bullies are more intelligent than them and so on. They are neither of those
things. They are craven dogs that prey on the weak, and even if you can't
defend against them solo, one can find strength in numbers. It is all a
mind game that the bullies succeed in knowingly or not, oppressing their
victims so that their victims do not realize that they can actually push
back metaphorically or literally and put an end to the abuse.

"In most cases, without any kind of violence, but hey if you need to punch
a bully for the abuse to stop, then do it.  Then if it goes to the
principal's office explain to him/her and your parents what happened and
why you did what you did and if your father has half a set of balls he'll
make absolutely sure nothing happens to you," Peter replied making a break
to drink some water before continuing.

"If someone bullied my son and my son asked me what to do I would tell him
to first try and talk to the bully, tell him that what he's doing is not
okay and he must stop at once. If that would not work, I would advise him
to pay that bully with his own coin and play the bully's insecurities
against him. If that did not work I would tell my son that every time the
bully tries to do anything to call the teacher, tell someone and if for
whatever reason either of that did not stop the bullying or the bully
decided to escalate the violence from verbal and psychological to physical
I would advise my son to punch him a real good one across the face or kick
his balls with everything he's got.

"If that brought my son to the principal's office and I was called in to be
reprimanded for my son's behavior, I would give them such a hell on how and
why their behaviour is completely unprofessional and harmful to my son and
how he was only protecting himself from the bully since obviously their
staff were completely inadequate to perform their duties and protect my son
that I have entrusted to them to educate and protect from harm that they
would reconsider, and if that didn't work I would escalate to threaten them
with a nice lawsuit and media coverage on how the school failed to perform
their duties and how my son is being threatened with expulsion because he
protected himself from a bully who had escalated from verbal abuse to
physical abuse and trust me they would not want that. No school, public or
private, would want that kind of publicity and public scandal," Peter
finished talking and started eating his burger and fries.

Ryan felt such level of brotherly love, pride and assurance that Peter was
his brother that he smiled as warm a smile as he could towards Peter.

Jason and Sebastian were deep in thoughts of what Peter had told them.

They talked and ate until their plates were empty and their bellies
full. Peter paid the bill and after saying his goodbyes to everyone, he
left.

"Wanna come to my place and play some video games guys?" Sebastian asked,
hopeful of the answer.

"Sure, I got nothing else to do until day after tomorrow I guess..." Ryan
answered, shrugging his shoulders.

"Sure but I won't be able to stay for a sleepover though," Jason said as
they started walking towards Sebastian's home.

It was a fun afternoon playing video games, seeing a movie and messing
about, wrestling and talking until they heard the door open and close.

"Oh, mom should be here, or dad," Sebastian said and got up to greet his
parent.

Jason and Ryan followed him to the living room. There were, in fact, both
his parents who had come back from work at the same time.

"Hello mom, dad!"

"Hello honey, oh how are you Jason? And you must be Ryan who we have heard
so much about!" Sebastian's mom said, hugging him.  She was a tall woman
who looked like a spitting image of Sebastian's facial structure and hair,
whereas his father must have given him his body structure and eyes.

"Hello Aunt Miriam, Uncle Oliver! I am fine thank you!" Jason replied,
hugging his Aunt.

"Pleased to meet you Mrs. and Mr. Tommas. Yes, I'm Ryan...I hope you've
only heard good things!" Ryan said, looking teasingly at Sebastian.

"Only good things, and thank you for taking care of that awful boy Terry
the other day. He had been pestering our nephew for far too long,"
Mrs. Tommas said.

"I do not like bullies," Ryan said simply, shrugging his shoulders. Jason
grinned and hugged him.

"Jason, Ryan, will you be staying for dinner?" Sebastian's mom asked.

"Thank you aunty, but sis is waiting for me back home. She's making her
famous roast with baked potatoes!! Can't miss that one, can I?!" Jason
said, smiling.

"Ah yes! The famous roast of my beloved niece!" Mr. Tommas said, chuckling.

"I'll ask my brother if I can stay for dinner and a sleepover if that's
okay with you ma'am?" Ryan said politely.

"Yes sweetheart, that's perfectly okay. I'm glad my boys have found such a
polite and good friend," Sebastian's mother told him and left for the
kitchen. Ryan blushed and thanked the woman.

They went back to Sebastian's room and Ryan called Peter who told him it
was okay with him to spend the night at Sebastian's.  He asked to talk with
Sebastian's parents to thank them and they talked for a while, and told
them that once the repairs at the Manor finished he would have them over
for a day of swimming at the pool and dinner. Mrs. Tommas said that it
would be lovely. They continued to talk for some more time before they said
their goodbyes and she handed the phone to Ryan.

Soon it was dinner time with Mrs. Tommas having prepared baked pasta with
red sauce and green salad.

They ate and talked. Sebastian's parents, as Ryan found out, were warm and
approachable, kind and funny and they loved their son and cousins beyond
measure.

Ryan and Sebastian helped clean the table and then went to Sebastian's room
where Sebastian locked the door and, looking at his friend with a wicked
grin, shed his clothes, all of them, and hugging him close, he planted his
lips on Ryan's moist ones, kissing him deeply, his hands raising Ryan's
shirt, removing it over his head, unbuttoning, groping his friend's bulge,
hardening it under his touch.

Ryan moaned and cupped Sebastian's cheeks in his hands, bringing him
closer, kissing him deeper, enjoying the stimulation between their tongues,
the grinding of their now naked bodies, Sebastian's squeezing hand around
his growing custard launcher.  They moaned heavily in each other's mouth.

Sebastian moved lower, brushing his lips over Ryan's neck as he went lower,
taking each nipple in his mouth, his hands on Ryan's hips, on his buttocks,
stroking him, their needs, their urges driven by teenage hormones on
overdrive.

Ryan gasped, taking in a rasp intake of air when he felt his boy-missile
launch into Sebastian's warm and very wet mouth, his back arched as an
electric wave of pleasure hit his brain like a lightning strike, making his
eyes close and his mouth slightly open in an "O" shape. His hands held onto
the duvet for dear life as his breathing shortened, became heavy and rugged
and his brain was overwhelmed by wave after wave of pleasure.

"Fuck! Sebastian has gotten good at this!" he thought as moans soft or
rugged escaped past his lips in an uncontrolled torrent.

"Se...Sebastian I...I... am cummm....uuunnggghhhh!!!" Ryan groaned and
unleashed his thickening thirteen year old custard in Sebastian's willing,
suckling mouth. Sebastian moaned and held Ryan's hips, steadying him,
sealing his lips round the juicy ejaculating digit as he swallowed all of
Ryan's offerings.

Ryan was heaving and panting, droplets of sweat ran down his temples with
his eyes still closed and with a silly post-orgasmic grin on his lips.

He felt moist lips on his kissing him, parting his lips as liquid filled
his mouth. He hugged Sebastian closer to him and kissed him back.

"That was brilliant!!!" Ryan said in between kisses.

Sebastian smiled and straddled Ryan's chest.

He grinned and held on to Ryan's head from his hair. Ryan poked his tongue
out at him and took a lick at his exposed glans.

"Guessing you want me to suck on this?" Ryan teased him as he breathed on
the purple, bulbous head. Sebastian shivered and felt the goose bumps on
his tummy and hands.

"You think? You fucking tease!!" Sebastian squealed and shoved his hips
forward.

Ryan giggled and opened his mouth, welcoming the tasty morsel inside his
mouth. Sebastian fucked his mouth slowly and relished the feelings he was
receiving from his friend. Ryan bobbed his head back and forth, flipping
his tongue over the head, under the shaft, round the corona, everywhere his
tongue could reach.

It didn't take long for Sebastian to moan, arching his back as he released
his teenage load in Ryan's gullet.

"Fuck! That was...I...I...lo...that was brilliant!" Sebastian said,
collapsing next to Ryan. They soon were sound asleep.

Morning came. After eating breakfast he called Enora.

"Hi, I'm Ryan from yesterday...yes of course, I said I would call...well
I'm not like him, he sounds like an arse...yeah I had fun yesterday as
well...well we used to live in the city but then...well my father died and
with my mom dead while giving birth to me, Peter decided to bring us all
here for a new start...thanks, it's okay...well Peter is my older brother,
and I have two younger brothers Malthe and Christian who are twins...well
no we have no common biological parents but my dad remarried to their
mother and she already had them so when they...died Lucinda their mother
had arranged for Peter to become their legal guardian...and we love them as
if they were actually our brothers, you'll love them...well yes of course
what time should I pick you up?...Okay great I'll be there then, then!!
Bye!" Sebastian looked gloom while Ryan talked on the phone but smiled fast
when Ryan turned his head with a goofy grin on his face.

Something though had begun to churn inside him, a force unseen that
propelled him into action that he would have otherwise swallowed. "So do
you really like her or do you just want to fuck her cherry pussy?" he asked
with bitterness in his voice that he tried to masquerade as teaseness.

Ryan raised a brow but just shrugged his shoulders deciding not to reply as
he would have if he didn't know Sebastian as he did, "I don't know...I just
know that I've never felt the way I feel about her for anyone else before
in my life."

Sebastian snorted with a sarcastic laugh, "How can you possibly say that?
You've only had one girlfriend so far and lots of fooling around with boys?
For all you know you could be gay or it could be that you break up with her
in a week if you become an item in the first place!"

Ryan was getting progressively irritated by Sebastian's change in mood.

"I don't know but from the first moment I saw her in the smoothie place...I
knew...I knew I wanted...want to marry her one day," he said, biting his
lower lip and smiling even more goofily than before.

Sebastian nearly doubled over laughing, "Come on! Really? You are far too
bleeding young to know that! You'll probably meet and fuck a score of girls
before you decide to finally marry one."

"FUCK YOU!! You are supposed to be my friend! Not ridicule and humiliate my
feelings! Yes I might not end up with her but how dare you fucking talk to
me like that!?"

Sebastian was taken aback from Ryan's uncharacteristically angry answer.

"I...I'm sorry Ryan...I didn't mean to hurt your feelings...or insult you."

Ryan hugged him. "It's okay Sebastian. We're cool!" he said. Sebastian
hugged him back but his mood did not get any better throughout the rest of
the day, although he did not show it.

"You sure you can't stay a little while longer?" Sebastian asked with
almost puppy eyes.

"Yeah, I have to go pick up Enora, but we'll talk tomorrow okays?" Ryan was
grinning ear to ear and his heart was already thundering in his chest.

"Yeah, sure...have fun mate," Sebastian said, clearly disappointed even
though he hid it well from Ryan.

They bumped knuckles and Ryan left saying goodbye to Sebastian's parents.

He rode to Enora's house as fast as he could. He rang the bell and her
father answered the door.

"Hello Ryan, how are you? She'll be down in a second," Joey said, shaking
his hand firmly.

"Hello sir, I'm well, how are you?" Ryan said, trying to smile besides his
nervousness, reciprocating Joey's hand-shaking firmness.

"So you like my daughter, do you?" the man asked, trying his hardest not to
burst laughing.

Ryan's eyes dilated from the surprise. "Ehhh...yes sir...a lot...I want to
marry her!" he said unable to stop himself saying what he said before he
said it. When he realised what he had said, he blushed a thousand shades of
crimson.

Joey could not hold it in as he burst out laughing. "Don't tell my daughter
that on the first date will you? She'll run for the hills.

Ryan mumbled something like "yes sir!" and turned even more crimson if
humanly possible.

Then a giggle behind them informed them that Enora had come down from her
bedroom. Her father stepped out of the way and she hugged him goodbye. Ryan
gulped down, his heart caught in his throat, beating faster than ever. She
was wearing her hair caught up high sort of knotted together with a
Japanese style pin going through them; she wore a sleeveless powder blue
dress that came down just above her knees and her tennis shoes, a golden
heart-shaped locket around her pale neck.  In contrast to her pale
complexion, her cheeks were rosy and her lips blood red, her blue eyes
sparkled with life and energy.

"H...hi...you look beautiful!" he told her, smiling. She blushed and kissed
his cheek making him blush an even deeper shade of red than from telling
her that she looked beautiful in front of her father who chuckled.

"Okay guys have fun and have her back by eleven or it's the last time you
two go out, okay?"

"Yes, sir," he said, nodding his head.

"Bye daddy!" she said in a mocking expatiated voice. He climbed onto his
bike and she sat in front of him on the saddle.

He started pedaling. "Where are we going?" she asked him in her innocent
girl's voice. It sounded like the best melody in the world to his ears.

He was already feeling such a jumble, it was as if a whole pack of
butterflies had settled in his stomach and there was a constant tingling in
his abdomen and chest; his heart was as if wanting to set a world record of
"fast beating", his lips pulsed with blood, his throat felt dry and achy,
and he could hear his own heart beat within his ears and he could not stop
smiling, well, grinning goofily constantly as well as a constant
lightheadedness. It was all very disorienting and strange and he never
wanted it to stop.

"I...ehh...it's a surprise."

She giggled, sending more electrical signals of bliss to his already
overwhelmed brain.

They talked as he pedaled. Her smile and giggles being infectious to him.

They arrived to one of the passages into the Estate forest that used to be
blocked by Mr. Williams and now Peter had opened. He biked them through one
of the forest paths until they arrived above a cliff's edge that oversaw
the lake and forest below, the Manor in the near distance, the mountain
rising on the west and the agricultural lands spanning the east and south,
and the village was behind them. The sun had begun its descent that would
eventually hide it behind the mountain and the lake to the west.

"Ohhh its soo beautiful up here! Oohhhh look a bunny!!! Ohhh it's so
cute!!" she said holding her hands together in front of her neck and then
pointing at the bunny jumping up and down excited.

Ryan giggled at her reactions and picked up some greenery from the ground
extending it outwards and kneeled. The animals must have never really been
hunted in the Estate grounds because they were all very trusting of
humans. Soon the bunny came slowly near him a few steps, stopped, looked
and wrinkled its nose, then repeated the process until it started eating
the greenery out of his hand. He grabbed it under its front and then hind
legs and extended it to Enora who ran to him and planted a kiss on his
cheek before taking it from him and started to pet it, cooing it giggling.

They sat near the cliff's edge and talked and giggled and exchanged
information and experiences and memories. She told him that her mother had
died on child birth like his, and opened the heart-shaped locket to reveal
a picture of her mother and father inside each of the locket doors and one
in the back of the locket with her parents together on their marriage day
looking all happy and smiling wide. At some point, Ryan bent backwards,
propping against his hands, and touched her hand with his on the edges of
her fingers. She did not remove it which caused him to swell with even more
happiness than before.

It seemed like they could go on talking for hours but the sun had long
since started disappearing behind the mountain's peak. They headed back to
town and he dropped her off at her house although he really wanted and
wished he could spend every waking and sleeping hour with her.

She got off the bike's saddle and gave him a kiss on his cheek, hugging
him.

"Thanks I had a great time!!" she told him, giggling and went inside her
house. It took him a few moments to recover even from that simple kiss on
the cheek and the colour in his face to return to normal because for now it
was as red as magma.

As he was riding back home, Ryan could think of nothing else other than
Enora. It consumed his thoughts and he just could not stop grinning
goofily.

He arrived at the Manor. Malthe was sitting outside, by the entrance door
steps as he was writing something in his textpad.

"What are you grinning about all alone Ry?" Malthe asked, getting up.

Ryan grinned wider and shrugged, giving Malthe a hug and a kiss on his
nose. He picked Malthe up on his lap and walked in the door.

Peter was lying on the couch with Christian nearly on top of him, both of
them sleeping. Peter had a story book on one hand and the other was wrapped
around Christian's shoulders.

Ryan set Malthe down and retrieved his phone; changing the setting to
not-flash as he took a picture of them. He smiled and shook Peter's
shoulder gently.

Peter opened his eyes and smiled. "Looks like I needed the sleep as much as
Chris eh?"

"Or you needed the story," Ryan chuckled.

Peter, moving very gently as to not wake up the sleeping angel, got up and
walked up the stairs with Christian's face on his shoulder.

Ryan took Malthe by the hand and walked up to blissful Enora-filled dream
sleep.

"Come on guys, hurry up! I don't want us late on the first day the dojo is
to be open," Peter yelled for them from downstairs.

"The first practice is in two hours!!" Ryan yelled back while wearing his
jeans and stuffing his GI, the traditional white clothes worn in martial
arts, in a duffle bag, along with a small face towel that he had inside the
top part of the GI so that he could remove the excess sweat and a larger
towel for afterwards so he could shower up in the locker rooms along with a
shampoo and body lotion.

All three of them descended the stairs and ate breakfast with Peter, then
off they were.

Half an hour after they had arrived at the new dojo, the first people
started to arrive. Jason and Sebastian of course with Maria had come
earlier to help with what preparations needed doing.

Peter had divided the workout area in to two segments especially for this
day. In one of the two segments, a table was set with some chips and finger
food with soft drinks and chairs for those that Peter knew would like to
watch once before they commit to starting as well as whatever family
members and townsfolk wanted to see something different but had no
intention of starting. The other segment was the tatami, the traditional
style mats used for martial arts, for the first training.

Ryan and Peter already wore their GIs and Peter wore the hakama, an
additional black or deep blue coloured garment worn by the teacher(s) of
the dojo and those students that the examining body think that have
mastered Aikido enough to deserve to wear it.

For this first day, Peter had arranged his and Ryan's sensei had also come
from the city and Peter had booked him in one of the hotels in the city for
the day so he could have dinner with him in the Manor in the evening and
leave the next morning.

Jason was wearing sweatpants as he wanted to start having seen small
samples from Ryan and Peter over the days and he thought he would like
it. Sebastian wasn't interested in martial arts.

Twenty minutes before the start of the training, Peter welcomed them all
and thanked them for coming and started talking with who ever had come.

Jason spotted the teenager who had been with Terry the other day at the
lake and told Ryan and Sebastian. He walked over to them.

"Hi, I'm Uriel Timmy Hastings. I'm sorry for the other day. I really didn't
know that it was part of the Estate. It's a beautiful part of the lake," he
said, introducing himself, and Ryan could tell that he was being honest
about being sorry.

"How can we know that you're not here to spy on us for Terry and Jack?"
Jason asked, folding his hands in front of his chest defensively.

Malthe was standing nearby taking it all in, listening to all, and saw how
Timmy and Sebastian would check each other out trying to be as covert as
possible. "Well at least they are covert enough so that they don't know
they're checking each other out," Malthe thought.

"No bleeding way!! I left Jack's dojo the day after that...incident at the
lake, I told him that I was sick and tired of both their bullshit. I no
longer hang out with Terry either. Neither Jack nor Terry were happy, let
me tell you! I was staying at Jack's dojo because I love martial arts and
there was nothing else nearby, but I always hated Jack for his attitude and
teaching methods, and I don't know...there's something about him besides
that, that's...creepy."

"It's okay Jason, Timmy, everyone's welcome here and Peter is nothing like
Jackass Jack!" Ryan said placing a hand on his best friend's shoulder and
extending the other towards Timmy. They bumped knuckles and now they too
were checking out each other like all boys do the first time they meet one
another, sort of primal need to verify that they are in fact the better
male around.

"Everyone? Even Jack and Terry?" Jason asked with a smirk.

"Well almost everyone..." Ryan concluded. All four of them laughed, and
Timmy bumped knuckles with Jason and Sebastian.

"Yes, I know Peter's different, I saw him handle Jack the other day. That's
when I knew I liked him...you know as a possible sensei and as a person and
all..." he said, quickly adding a reason as to what he meant by liking
Peter.

Peter came towards them and Ryan introduced him to Timmy.

"Well you better go change mate, practice is about to start soon," Peter
told him, "Jason you're starting as well?"

"Yes, Peter."

"Good, good. We'll start soon then."

Minutes later Timmy came out and Peter clasped his hands together to get
everyone's attention.

"Everyone! Thank you for coming to the opening of the "Aikikai dojo". We
will be operating under the Aikikai Federation as an official dojo
recognized by the Federation and I would like to thank Laurence Sensei for
being able to attend our opening. He is the man who taught me everything I
know and being able to be here means a lot to me and Ryan as this will be
our joint venture."

"Now, before we start, a few rules. In this dojo, I will accept no
intimidation, no ridicule from anyone to anyone, not in the tatami, not in
the locker rooms, no bad-natured teasing, psychological or physical abuse
of any kind and if you come from Jack's dojo...forget anything and
everything you've been taught. Start anew or get out now. This is a place
for Budo and self-improvement through cooperation with the other pupils of
the dojo. You are not here to be better than anyone else, only better than
you were yesterday. In Aikido there are no championships or tournaments or
medals, only you and the demons you chose to carry. For those of you who
wish to observe before you decide, please keep silent during the training
and if you wish to take pictures, please disable the flash so that you do
not distract those in training."

Peter drew a breath and continued talking. He told everyone what he needed
to say about before, during and after each training session and then about
conduct in and out of the tatami for everyone that will choose to sign in
as a member of the dojo.

He walked on the tatami and the people who wanted to start training walked
in after him. Peter sat seiza on the tatami.  He taught them about the
greetings before and after the training and then started the warm up. For
the next hour and a half he conducted the first training session.

Just as Ryan had finished showering, his mobile started ringing.

"Hullo Enora...yes I had a great time as well last night...couldn't stop
thinking about...it...yeah sure I'd love to, which movie were you thinking
about going to see?...oh that's cool, haven't seen that one! Well I'm at
the dojo now...yeah first training session...that's okay I understand, your
dad needed help at the smoothie place...nope I'm all done, I've had my
shower here at the dojo...yeah I'd love that, we can hang out at the
smoothie place...great I'll see you there then!" He terminated the call and
started wearing his clothes fast, oblivious to Timmy checking him out,
licking his lips and giving his now jeans-covered package a squeeze.

It did not go unnoticed by Malthe though, who had come in the locker rooms
to go to the toilet as nature called.

"Hey, want to have a sleepover with Jason and all of us at my place
tonight?" Sebastian asked him when he came out of the locker rooms with
Jason.

"Sorry mate, have a date with Enora. We're going to watch a movie at the
mall."

Sebastian's smile faded fast but he tried not to show it. Jason poked his
ribs giggling. Ryan laughed and they bumped knuckles before he left for the
smoothie place.

"Can you drive us to the mall with Enora?" Ryan asked his older brother.

"Sorry Ry, I have to get back to the Manor with the twins, but I'll call
and get Mr. Cox to drive you two over there."

"Oh, okay cool, we'll be at the smoothie place for an hour or two."

"Okay, I'll tell him to go there and pick you up." Ryan waved off his
friends and brothers and left.

Ryan didn't even understand where the time went as he drank his smoothie
and talked with Enora. It seemed like that whenever he was with her time
flew faster than a Peregrine Falcon in pursuit of food.

Mr. Cox came to pick them up and Ryan held the door open for Enora. She
giggled and grinned broadly giving him a kiss on the cheek, and he didn't
mind one bit about being in public or relatively in front of her father.

They were waiting for their movie to start, soft drinks and tickets in hand
when he saw Johanna with another boy. She tried kissing her new boyfriend,
probably to make him jealous but he just laughed and ignored her, looking
at Enora's face, giving her a kiss on the cheek and she beamed a smile back
at him and held on to his elbow with both hands.

When their movie was over they ate at a sushi place. Enora had never before
had it and she declared that she loved it.

All throughout the ride back she rested her head on his shoulder. He did
not mind the silence. He knew that it was not a product of malice or
bitterness but of peace and bliss that needed no words to be expressed.

A week later and Ryan spoke every day with Enora, and texted just as much
if not more, their friendship having fully developed into a romantic
relationship even as of yet without even a simple peck on the lips, much
less anything more than that, Enora limiting their kisses to their
respective cheeks. Ryan didn't mind all that much since he really liked
Enora and didn't want to do anything to jeopardize them being together,
boyfriend and girlfriend. Her simple touch of holding his hand in hers made
him feel all warm inside, his heart racing, and his throat dry every single
time without fail. And when she hugged him it lit up the night sky with his
smile.

He had truly never felt like this for another person before.

Now one of the final days of July was upon them and Ryan was at Sebastian's
house with Jason for a sleepover. They had eaten dinner and were playing in
Sebastian's room. Like usual their games had transitioned from video games
and talking to a more...physical game. Jason had already had a sixty nine
with Ryan cumming in each other's mouths.

Now Sebastian was eating Ryan's hotdog with great eagerness, trying to get
that special teenage sauce out of him, his hands on Ryan's taut cushiony
globes pushing and pulling him as Ryan laid back on the bed with his legs
spread out, hanging over the bed and Sebastian bent over him enjoying the
fine meal of boydick he was receiving. Ryan moaned and grabbed hold of
Sebastian's head when he felt his friend's tongue going in his lower mouth
as much as it could.

A hand on Ryan's loosening sack of boy-custard massaging it slowly, and
another feeling his toned, firm abdomen and belly muscles.

Ryan was feeling amazing and yet all he could think of was Enora's sweet
face doing this to him, and at that moment he understood beyond any and all
doubt that fooling around with Sebastian and Jason was fun and all but not
what he really wanted. He wouldn't mind continuing to fool around with his
best mates like this for now and maybe more sporadically in the future, as
he liked the bond they had but what he really wanted was Enora.

Sebastian probed his anal ring with his saliva-lubed finger and rubbed it
against the anal walls before gently pushing it in. Ryan's eyes shot wide
open and was ready to tell Sebastian to stop, that the pain was too much
when the probing finger inside him found that sweet boy-button inside him
and rubbed against it. Ryan saw stars and galaxies and arching his back he
fucked into Sebastian's mouth and spilled his love juices for Sebastian to
savour and swallow.

"Fuck!! That's how pushing my finger inside you feels like? It hurt at
first!" Ryan said once he regained enough breath.

"Yeah it hurts at first but it does feel brilliant after doesn't it?"
Sebastian declared more than asked.

"Yeah some...I guess...rubbing my prostate sort of hurt and felt good at
the same time...but I don't feel like I want to do it again...if you don't
mind..." Ryan said to Sebastian's disappointment.

"Well...as long as you don't mind fooling around...I guess it's okay...not
going to force you to do something you don't want to," Sebastian said
trying not to show his disappointment.

Ryan grinned and held Sebastian's hand pulling him upwards to the bed;
Sebastian smiled and lay next to his friend.  Ryan got on his knees and
proceeded to sucking his friend's sperm-hose; he immediately pushed two
fingers past Sebastian's tight, hairless boyhole and started fingering him,
searching for his prostate. Sebastian, having seen his cousin and best
friend suck each other and having sucked Ryan just seconds ago, didn't take
long to cum down Ryan's contracting throat.  When Ryan lay next to him they
kissed, sharing each other's cum. Jason had already fallen asleep so Ryan
covered them with the bed sheets and they were asleep within minutes,
happily cuddled up against each other.

Ryan could only hope that Enora liked him as much as he liked her, but with
her calling him to arrange dates as well as him calling her it was not a
big stretch for him to think that she did. The way she smiled, giggled and
constantly held his hand in hers also supplemented that thought. He knew
that in a month and a week or so that school started they would not be able
to see each other every day outside of school like they did now, but for
now they saw each other every day.

One Saturday they were hanging out in her house, in her room with the door
open of course as her father would not allow them to have the door locked
or even closed for that matter. He knew that they were not just friends and
although he allowed them to see each other and spend time together in any
of their houses or any place that wasn't public he would not allow closed
or locked doors yet, Peter either. They were sitting on the floor, talking
and playing a game of cards when his phone rang.

"What's up?...yeah I'm at Enora's place...yes Peter her father is in the
living room and we have the doors open! -- he rolled his eyes making her
giggle- yes I know I have my first children's class in an hour, I took my
keys to the dojo when I left home...yeah I'll see you there then...bye
bro!" They continued to talk and play, Enora finding his teaching the
children instead of Peter very interesting and cute.

"Only a girl would think this cute," Ryan thought and smiled seeing her
sparkling eyes.

When it was time to leave, he hugged Enora giving her a kiss on her cheeks
but when it was her turn to reciprocate, she surprised him by planting her
lips gently on his. He kissed her back lingering there for as long as he
could, bringing a hand to caress her cheek, wanting to part her lips and
push his tongue in but she broke the kiss giggling and looked at him biting
her lower lip. His eyes were spaced out, his breathing fast and sharp. It
had felt as if lightning had struck him, nothing, no other kiss before this
from either his friends or even Johanna had come anywhere close to how good
this had felt. He knew that irrelevant of if they remained together for a
week more, a month more or for the rest of their lives he would always
remember this kiss even though it was not the first, it would be the most
memorable one.

He also understood something else at that moment when he looked from her
biting lips to her shining eyes capturing the sun l ike perfect diamonds of
blue.

He was falling head over heels in love with her as she was fast becoming
the love of his life and he didn't mind the leap of faith he felt like he
was taking.

He took her hand in his and gave it a gentle kiss before turning around and
pedaling away on his bike towards the dojo.

August would most definitely be a most interesting month, Ryan thought as
he kept stealing glances backwards where she stood there at the door to her
house looking at him pedaling away as if she would not see him again and
wanted to capture every detail of his fleeting body in her mind.
