Ted finally regains his composure and signs the paperwork.  David asks
Morris to take him home.  I speak briefly to Phil about Ted and his
interaction with him and explain that I didn't really want him to sleep
alone but only was trying to keep him away from the action but tell him
that he really should have been there for the sake of his recovery if I'd
only known.  He looks at me quizzically.  I excuse myself for a few
minutes to stop and talk to each of the victims and wish them a good night
and especially to tell Kenny that I am glad that he has started to open up
to some of the others and talk about what had happened.  I offer my ear
if he needs it, anytime, give him a quick kiss and hug and then collect
Phil and start off toward my room.

When we settle down in my bed, I start asking him in depth about what had
happened.  I wonder out loud how he has been able to make love with me
the way he did last night after that kind of experience; seemingly
unaffected.  Phil says that the only adjustment he's had to make is that
He'd made the choice that he would fuck me last night since he was still a
bit too sensitive for me to fuck him yet though he hoped he'd be in shape
for that soon since he is feeling impatient and is so looking forward to
it...  He is trying to figure out what exercises he can do to
rehabilitate his poor sphincter faster and while speculating on what the
form of the exercise would be, we both collapse into a giggle-fest.

Once we recover, I note he isn't nearly as down about the encounter as the
other victims are.  He explains that he reasoned that what happened was
not nearly so much about him as it was about Ted and David and he was just
the guy in the way.  Sure, he is angry and hurt but he feels he needs to
be upbeat and bounce back.  I tell him he needs to talk to the other
victims and explain what has helped him and that it might be good for them
to think about and might help with their healing.  He reluctantly
agrees, though he can't quite see what is remarkable about his insight or
how he can help.  I tell him he'll see later...

Morris calls Grant just before he is ready to leave for home to let him
know that he is hesitant to leave Ted alone for the night since he has had
some crying jags and is on his pity potty.  Grant is at first against
the whole idea but Morris calms him down and explains that he can handle
Ted and will stay so that he will be sure he gets to his first therapy
meeting tomorrow.  Grant asks him to stay alert throughout the night
since he can sleep in at home later tomorrow.  Morris vows to brew a pot
of coffee and stay up all night.  Grant decides there is really no
reason to go home and he'll take the night shift since he is still wound up
from the events of the day.

In the late morning, Morris calls Grant again to relay that he has
delivered Ted to the first of his therapy sessions and describes what he
thinks is a break-through moment: Ted has gotten up during the night and
seems very agitated and hopeless and has come into the living room where
Morris is lounging around and seems truly surprised to see him there.
Morris starts to talk to Ted quietly and hopes he can calm him down.
Ted doesn't seem to be too receptive to the idea but Morris finally
persuades Ted to at least sit on the couch with him and try to reason with
him.  He reaches out his hand to help Ted down to the couch and Morris
feels that he has calmed down some just by the act of sitting down.
They continued to talk more intimately but Ted has chosen to sit relatively
far from Morris on the couch.  Morris scoots over so that he can be
heard better by Ted.  While they are talking, Morris automatically
reaches over and brushes Ted's hair off
 his face since he has been so distraught that his hair appears mussed-up.
Ted immediately responds positively to this and leans over against Morris
and says: "Mmm - that's nice, thank you" in a softer, higher pitched voice
than Morris has ever heard from Ted.  He is convinced that he has seen
the first appearance of Beaver and that the trigger is the loving touch
that may have evoked the memory of an earlier time and the sense-memory of
his mother's touch so many years ago.  Well, Morris decides that if it
is working, why mess with it.  So Morris encourages Ted to settle in on
the couch with him while still maintaining that close human contact that
has worked such a transformation on Ted.  This is how they get through
the night with Ted sleeping with his head on Morris' shoulder and with
their hands entwined and Morris occasionally running his free hand across
Ted's forehead or cheek.  Ted occasionally would be restive and moan or
writhe against
 Morris while he sleeps but Morris' touch always restores his quiet sleep.
In the morning, Ted awakes with the sun and tells Morris he hasn't had such
a refreshing sleep in a long time but considers it odd that he finds
himself so intimately entwined with Morris on the couch.  He keeps
observing "that's not like me" several times while they talk.  Morris
says that he only needed to encourage Ted to relax and lean on him and Ted
took the lead.  He assures Ted that he doesn't mind the intimacy and
that he's enjoyed spending the night with him like that.  This is only
partially true since Morris is particularly sore where Ted has been
sleeping against him and has been unable to move throughout the night.
Ted goes into the bathroom to piss and then gets his shower underway.
Morris starts his day by exercising his sore shoulder and pads into the
kitchen to brew yet another pot of coffee.  After sitting down in the
kitchen and drinking that first
 cup, Ted reappears in the kitchen dressed for the day.  It seems to be
the old self-assured Ted that has entered the kitchen but Morris can sense
something has changed since Ted remarks that he hardly ever uses the coffee
maker any more and always grabs a cup from the store around the corner but
also says that he could get used to this.  Morris smiles as he realizes
that even for Ted, change is possible.  They have some time to kill
before Ted's appointment and Morris offeres to walk down to the corner and
grab the paper while Ted is having his first cup.  Ted is all for that
and Morris walks down to the nearby convenience store and buys the paper
Ted usually reads and returns.  Ted is glad to get back to even that
small part of his routine and becomes absorbed in the paper while they kill
time.  Morris is able to wander around a bit and he even is able to take
time for his morning wash-up before he needs to drive Ted down to the
therapist's
 office.  In his wanderings he notices that Ted has a nice assortment of
semi-pro exercise equipment in an otherwise unused room and later remarks
to Ted that he is envious about it.  He has always wanted something like
it.  Ted says that he had been using the gym close to his workplace
years ago but had been turned off by something-or-other and decided it
would be more efficient to have his own set of equipment.  This is how
they spend the time waiting for his appointment.  Finally, Morris is
able to drive Ted over to the therapist's office and walk with him up to
the suite and wait with him for his appointment.  Once Ted has been
ushered into the office, Morris takes pains to explain to the receptionist
the situation from last night and the breakthrough he felt Ted had and she
takes copious notes and promises she will pass the information on as soon
as she is able.  Morris goes home and calls Grant once he gets there.
After talking to him for
 a while, he gets into bed.

Later, David stops by Grant's desk and tells him he looks worn out and
should take the rest of the day off.  He also suggests that if he wants,
he can take a shower in David's room and he'll be more refreshed and can
better make the long drive back home.  Grant thanks him and decides that
would suit him fine.   While Grant is showering, David sticks his
head in and starts to talk to Grant about something but notices he has
gotten preoccupied with something and says: "Earth to Grant... Earth to
Grant... What ever has gotten into you?"

Grant snaps out of it and says: "I was just struck by the thought that you
were standing there watching me taking a shower."

David says: "Wait a minute... I didn't..."

Grant interrupts: "No... what I mean is that all Ted's victims said they
had interactions with Ted in the shower before their attacks.  I only
just put it together now.  Ted must have fixated on them while they were
in the shower together.  In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Ted had a
history of attacks even before he came to the house.  I suspect by
looking at him that some years ago Ted was a real gym rat and he probably
was doing the same thing then.  It would be interesting to find out that
the attacks didn't start here but they ended here."

David takes up the thought: "That would be a relief.  I'll call up his
therapist and let him know about your idea.  He's an old schoolmate of
mine and he would be glad to have the extra information.  I also will
call up another old school chum who's a Private Investigator and I think he
would do some quiet snooping into Ted's gym history pro-bono if I asked him
to.  Grant, you better get finished up in the shower; you're starting to
get wrinkled in there... soon you'll be looking like a prune.  If this
works out, I'll have to get you your own loofah and let you take a shower
in here anytime you want.  You seem to get good ideas in the shower!"

Grant shoots back: "And I'll have to bring you up on charges of sexual
harassment if you don't quit staring at me naked, you perv!"

David turns around and stalks out in a mock huff and Grant follows up with:
"Love 'ya, Boss" and David says as he walks away: "Right back at 'ya!"

Grant is getting ready to leave when I appear in the Production Center.
I motion him to join me and I ask if the small conference room is free.
He said it is and then I ask him to follow me.  Once Grant sits down, I
get this serious face on and said "There's just one question I have for
you... Are you gay?"

Grant seems a little shocked but says immediately: "I sure am - why do you
ask?"

I respond: "That way it will be easier to do this..."  I lean down to
him and plant one of the biggest and wettest kisses I hope he had ever had
on him.  I keep the kiss up for quite a while and sit in his lap while I
do so.  Grant doesn't struggle so I'm not a bit worried.  Finally I
finish the kiss and break free but stay sitting where I am.

Grant finally catches his breath and asks "What was that for?"

"That is for all the guys in the house that aren't lucky enough to be able
to do this themselves... I want to be the first.  The way I'm feeling,
if I thought nobody would misunderstand I'd have given you a blow job
instead."

Grant laughs and says "I think I'll take a rain-check on that one.  But
I've come to think of you as family since you've had your hands all over my
hubby lately."

I stammer: "Your hubby... who?"  He indicates with his free hand a
person of great stature and I take a second to recognize what he means.
"You and... Morris?  You're lovers?  Oh, that makes so much sense now
that I think of it...  I just didn't know that Stretch has such good
taste!"

"Yep we've been together for years now and I was just going home to crawl
into bed with him."

"Well, don't let me stop you" I said.

Grant smiles and reflects for a minute and says: "Hearing you use that
nickname for Morris with such loving and respect has made me think I'll go
home and try it on him right away."

"Don't you think he might be upset?"

"I'll tell you, Morris is the one person I know that is completely
comfortable in his own skin.  I'm sure he'd love it.  Thanks!"

"Grant, keep your dance card open because on that day when we have that
wrap party and you'd better be there with us, there will be fourteen guys
lined up to do the exact same thing to you I just did, I'm sure.  Get
those lip exercises going so you'll survive the experience."  I kiss him
briefly again before I let him stand up.

Grant says: "Thanks, stud.  When this is over I'll have to invite you
and Phil over to the house for dinner.  Morris is a whiz on the grill.
Then we can go out dancing 'til the wee hours.  I think you two would
fit right in."

I pat his ass as he walks past me and out of the office.
