Subject: Arkansas Vacation: Married Life

Author's Note:  There is a bit of confusion as to who the other members of
the band are and how they relate to each other.  So, for the record, they
are: Brent, Travis, and Connor.  Brent and Travis are lovers, Brent's Aunt
approving.  Travis's Mother disowned him.  Brent and Travis live together
with Brent's Aunt Tillie.  Connor and his Dad live together and they play
together, having confessed their passion for each other.  On occasion,
Connor plays baby for his Father, satisfying a need for each other to do
this.  Nothing wrong with it, folks.

There is sex between teenage boys and between a man and boys, including his
son.  If you don't like this, it's illegal, or all the other warnings
please leave.  Otherwise, and preferably enjoy.


Arkansas Vacation
"Married Life" Starring Yoshi and Jeff  (c)2000

	Jeff woke first, the light of the new day coming in through the
window into the room.  He opened his eyes and stretched, being careful not
to wake Yoshi.  He observed Yoshi's face for a few minutes, and then Jeff
carefully slid out from under his lover's arm.  He slipped out of bed
quietly and went into the bathroom.  Coming back out he saw Yoshi was still
sleeping.  Jeff pulled on his shorts and went downstairs spotting Dustin,
the newest member of the merry band that comprised Powersound, starting his
morning stretches in the backyard.  Dustin nodded to Jeff as Jeff walked
outside.  The cool morning air felt good on Jeff's bare skin, making his
nipples stand out.

	"Hubby still in bed?" Dustin asked while the 14-year-old Vietnamese
teen stretched some more.

	"Not any more," a voice said behind them.

Jeff turned to see Yoshi standing there, grinning at them.

	"Morning honey," Jeff grinned.

Jeff stood up and they embraced, kissing each other good morning.

	"So what's on the agenda for today?" Dustin asked.

	Yoshi thought as he went through his workout, Jeff spotting for him
when needed.  "Not sure yet.  I need to sit down and take a look at things,
see what we need to do.  Things have been going rather well of late, and
spring is just around the corner.  It's been a rough winter for everybody
here."

	"Huh, no shit.  First we get the Davis business and Scott freaking
out, then those whacko twin bikers nearly tearing up the Big Lick.  It's a
wonder that Big Sol and the Olsen brothers got out of that one in one
piece," Jeff stated.

	"That was bad indeed.  I don't know anything about the Davis
thing," Dustin stated as he did some arm curls.

	Yoshi and Jeff told the story, leaving nothing out.  Dustin's face
changed a few times between anger and sorrow.

	"Damn that sucks.  Boys come here to get away from abusive people
only to have it follow then here," Dustin sighed, thinking of his own past.

	Yoshi and Jeff had found Dustin rummaging through their trash one
night and brought him into the house.  Over the course of a few days,
Dustin told them of his past, how his father sold him to a whorehouse in
Florida when he was three.  Escaping at thirteen when the cops crashed the
place and arrested the owner.  He had run, wanting to leave it far behind.
It didn't take long for Dustin to fit in with the band, especially once
they discovered his talent for high tech stuff.  He became the official
sound tech for the band and as a result the Powersound band got even
better.

Dustin wasn't the only one who moved into the house.  Brent and Travis
moved in after Brent's Aunt Tillie had died unexpectedly months ago.  His
Aunt left the house to her son who sold it out from under his Brent forcing
the boyfriends to move out.  Travis's Mom left the state after Travis came
out.

Connor and his Dad moved in about six months ago after Nelson lost his job.
The house was crowded now, and privacy was starting to become an issue.
Jeff and Yoshi were beginning to feel imposed on.  Yoshi made a decision
right then.  After breakfast, he called Daniel.

	"Daniel Jorgenson," the voice said.

	"Hey Daniel, it's Yoshi.  Needed to ask you a question," Yoshi
said.

	"Sure, ask away.  Hope I can help," Daniel said.

	"Jeff and I need to get away for a few days.  Know of anyone who
rents out cabins up the lake a ways?" Yoshi asked.

Daniel scratched his chin for a moment.  "Call Kenny Anderson.  He'd know,"
Daniel advised Yoshi.

	"Dude, thanks for the tip," Yoshi grinned.

	"For a friend anytime," Daniel laughed.

Yoshi dialed Kenny's number and waited.  Kenny picked up after the third
ring.

	"Kenny Anderson," he said.

	"Kenny, this is Yoshi Toranaga calling.  Daniel Jorgenson told me
you're the man to call about renting a cabin for a week," Yoshi said.

	"He did?  Well, I owe him one then.  Sure I can book you in for a
week.  You and Jeff need to get away?" he asked.

	"Yeah, the sooner the better," Yoshi said.

	"Done deal.  Just go to the marina at the lake and everything will
be ready for you," Kenny stated.

	"Cool, let me talk to Jeff first, then I'll call back to confirm,"
Yoshi said.

	"Go for it," Kenny said and hung up.

Jeff knocked on the bedroom door at that moment.  Yoshi looked up and
motioned Jeff in and to close the door behind him.

	"We need to talk honey," Yoshi said.

	"Everything okay?" Jeff asked, suddenly nervous.

	"Yes.  I want to take you away from here for a week to a cabin up
north on the lake.  We need some private time between us, and it's been
missing here for some time.  Don't get me wrong, I like having the others
here, but it's cut into our time together.  I'd like to know if you want to
get away with me for a week.  It would do us good," Yoshi explained.

	Jeff sat on the edge of the bed for a few minutes, thinking about
what Yoshi had said.  Yoshi had made sense about things.

	"Let's do it," Jeff agreed.

Yoshi reached for the phone and made the arrangements.  Going downstairs,
he called for a conference around the table.

	"Guys, me and Jeff are going away for a week to be together.  We
need some time to ourselves, and you guys need to know that you haven't
done anything wrong at all.  Jeff and I just want to have some time to
ourselves," Yoshi announced.

	"Good, you two need it," Nelson stated.  "Don't worry about a
thing."

	"Thanks a lot for being understanding," Jeff grinned.


	Three days later on a sunny Sunday afternoon they arrived at the
marina.  A blond haired boy named Robert checked them in.

	"Kenny says everything is on him.  So go and enjoy your week
together," he said.

	"I'll have to thank him later," Yoshi smiled.

	Robert helped them carry their luggage down to the boat and secure
them.  Yoshi and Jeff got in and Robert untied the boat after Jeff started
the engine.  He followed the map as they sailed up the lake.  Jeff drove
slow, wanting to take his time and enjoy the scenery.  Yoshi sighed as he
sat close to Jeff.  This was what they really needed.  He briefly wondered
why they bothered to pack clothes, since he planned on going starkers the
whole week.  No biggie, he decided.  He put his arm around Jeff and gently
hugged him.

	"Beginning to look like paradise to me love," he said.

Jeff grinned, seeing the shining light in Yoshi's eyes.  "I'll agree with
that."

They quickly kissed and turned their attention back to where they were
going.  It took them about 45 minutes to reach the cabin.  Robert had been
right.  It was completely isolated, looked very private.  Jeff pulled the
boat up to the dock and Yoshi tied it up there.  They carried the luggage
up to the cabin and went inside.  It was a two-room affair, the bedroom in
one area and the rest of the cabin in another.  It looked pretty bare, no
television or any of the fancy stuff they had at home.  The furniture
looked very comfy, the colors all earth tones.  No cabin was complete with
out a deer head mounted on a wall, and there was one above the fireplace.
Yoshi and Jeff dropped the luggage into the bedroom and checked out the
bed.  It was a king size, bigger than the full one they had at home.  It
was much more comfortable than theirs.  Jeff rolled over, facing Yoshi.
They looked deep into the other's eyes, holding hands.  Jeff leaned forward
and kissed Yoshi, his kiss awakening passions deep inside Yoshi.

	"Oh baby, you know that's good," Yoshi said.

Jeff sighed as he kissed Yoshi some more.  They lay there together for a
bit, holding hands.  Yoshi ran his fingers through Jeff's long hair,
brushing it back from his face.

	"Have I told you lately how much I love you?" Yoshi whispered.

	"Every single day honey," Jeff whispered back.

They giggled together and then sat up.  They unpacked clothes into drawers
and left the bedroom.  Jeff went into the kitchen as Yoshi took a seat on a
barstool and watched Jeff look through the refrigerator and cupboards.

	"Yup, plenty of food to live on for the week," Jeff reported.

	"That's good, considering the fact that there's hardly anything in
the refrigerator at home," Yoshi cracked.

Jeff laughed aloud at that one.  "That's so true I won't even go there!"

Yoshi grinned as he checked his watch.  It was getting close to dark, so he
turned to the fireplace and worked at building a fire while Jeff prepared a
simple dinner.  They sat on the couch in front of the fire and ate there,
each lost in thought.  Putting the dishes aside, they snuggled up together
on the couch and gazed into each other's eyes.

	"Love you," Jeff said.

Yoshi smiled at that simple announcement.  But it was more than that, it
was a declaration of Jeff's feelings towards him, and he was moved by it.

	"Love you," Yoshi kissed Jeff.

Yoshi began stripping Jeff naked, eagerly wanting to explore his hubby's
body.  Jeff had filled out even more, thanks to the hard workouts he did
with Yoshi everyday.  His body responded well, new muscle growing in places
he'd never thought of.  Jeff managed to undress Yoshi at the same time,
exposing the smooth muscular body of his mate.  Yoshi began exploring
Jeff's body, touching and caressing him, feeling and tracing the curves of
his muscles.  Jeff gasped out loud, feeling Yoshi's mouth on his neck,
sending waves of pleasure crashing through him.

	"Oh baby!" he cried out in passion.

The played softly WBOY on the radio in the background as the two teens made
love to each other in front of the fire.  They rolled off the couch and
onto the floor, Yoshi landing on his back and Jeff on top of him.  Jeff
didn't hesitate.  He lifted Yoshi's legs and rested them on his shoulders
while his cock probed the entry to Yoshi's gate.  Yoshi sighed as he felt
Jeff's six inches sliding inside of him.  It had been awhile, unless they
counted that quickie in the studio recording console room.  Jeff pushed
himself all the way in Yoshi, and then relaxed for a moment to let Yoshi
adjust to his cock being inside him.

	"Jeff...make love to me honey," Yoshi moaned.

Jeff did, beginning to fuck his mate.  Both teens were in the throes of
passion, going to another place to enjoy the pleasures both were feeling.
Yoshi felt Jeff's cock moving inside of him, and he wept, his emotions so
out of control.  Jeff's tears rolled down his face, his own emotions taking
him over the top.  He didn't know why he cried when he made love to Yoshi,
but he knew it was because he loved Yoshi so much.  This was love, the kind
of love meant to be shared and experienced.  Both never for one minute
regretted marrying each other, it just served to reinforce the love they
felt for each other.  Jeff continued on, wanting to cum inside Yoshi,
wanting to bond with him again.  He could feel Yoshi opening Getsumi no
Michi, the Moonlit Path, and felt himself drawn to it.  Suddenly he could
feel what Yoshi was feeling.  It carried him upward even more.  He felt
their heartbeats match each others could feel his emotions.  It got too
much and Suddenly Jeff was cumming.

	"I'm cumming!" Jeff cried out.

Yoshi moaned out loud.  "Oh baby, cum in me, I need you there!"

Jeff fucked harder and faster, feeling his cum travel through his hard cock
and into Yoshi.  Both teens writhed together on the floor, feeling the heat
of passion consume them.  Jeff raised his head back and screamed out in
passion as he felt his ejaculation pass through his cock.  He gasped for
breath once he was done.  Yoshi took him into his arms and held his sweaty
body close to his.  They kissed again, tongues chasing the others in
mouths.

	"Oh baby, that was the absolute best!" he kissed Jeff.

Jeff just sighed and snuggled down into Yoshi's arms, his sweat soaked hair
under Yoshi's chin.  His fingers tickled Yoshi's nipples for a moment
before he drifted off to sleep.  Yoshi lay there for a time, holding his
sleeping partner in his arms.  He carefully laid Jeff on the floor, and
then went to the bedroom to open the bed and get a towel to clean Jeff off
with.  He laid Jeff into bed, and then got in with him.

	"Good night, my love," Yoshi kissed Jeff on the cheek.

Settling down next to him, his thoughts drifted towards the future.  No
matter what happened, he fully intended to always be there for Jeff.  He
couldn't imagine life without him.  He smiled and closed his eyes and went
to sleep.


	Back at the house, the guys were relaxing in front of the TV,
watching the Sunday night movie.  Brent and Travis were as usual curled up
together on one couch while Dustin sat at the dining room table working on
an effects box for Jeff's bass.  Connor and his Dad were on the other
couch, Connor lying across his Father's lap.  Everyone by now was totally
comfortable with each other, but there was a reluctance to start
intimacies.  Sure they could go to their own rooms, but that wasn't the
problem.  The problem was that everyone wanted to be able to get intimate
with his partner on the couch.  It was becoming a problem and tempers
flared every now and then.  Connor and his Dad weren't able to do what they
normally did, and that was a Father-son scene.  Travis and Brent didn't
really feel comfortable seeing Connor running around in diapers and Nelson
changing him and treating him like a little baby.

Unknown to Connor and Nelson, Dustin was entertaining fantasies about
Nelson babying him.  Having grown up in a boy whorehouse, he had been
deprived of a childhood.  He also wanted to have a lover too.  He managed
to hide his feelings well at times.  However Connor had guessed what was
bothering Dustin.  He decided to talk to his Father first chance he got.
He also knew that Brent and Travis were bothered by what he did with Dad.
Brent and Travis kept their feelings to themselves and never came out and
said anything.  The tension in the room was getting to the breaking point,
and nobody knew when they all would snap.  The crunch came two days later.
Brent found one of Connor's diapers on the living room couch.  He stormed
upstairs to Connor and his Dad's room.

	"Keep your shit to yourself here in this room!" Brent yelled,
tossing the diaper at a surprised Connor and Nelson.

Connor jumped off the bed and charged Brent, his anger white hot.  Both
boys tussled on the floor, rolling over each other a few times before
Dustin and Nelson separated them.

	"Guys, cool down!" Dustin yelled.

	"I'll kick your ass, Brent.  I swear I will!" Connor snarled.

	"Fuck you," Connor snapped.

	"What's the matter, Travis not good enough for you?" Connor
taunted.

	"Connor, that's enough!" Nelson yelled.  "Back into the room!
Brent, go downstairs, I'll talk to you in a minute!"

Brent looked daggers at both of them while Dustin escorted him downstairs.
Nelson closed the door and then father and son had a loud argument, ending
with Nelson giving Connor a spanking.  He went down stairs to confront
Brent. Sitting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee, he studied an angry
teenager for a moment.

	"Brent, I am sorry that Connor attacked you like that.  He will
apologize to you later after he's cooled down.  I wish you had come to us
and talked to us.  I didn't know it bothered you that much.  I'm sorry for
not considering how you felt about us doing a baby scene.  Can you tell me
why it bothers you?" Nelson asked.

Brent sighed and thought for a few minutes.  "When I was young and still
had my parents, I would wet the bed at night.  I know now that I was
reacting to my parent's fighting all the time.  The doctor said I was under
so much stress that I was doing that as a way to get attention.  I was
seven, what did I know about stress?  Anyway, my Father would yell and
scream at me and forced me to wear diapers all the time as punishment, even
to school.  All the kids would laugh at me.  It wasn't until I was ten that
they died in a car accident.  I came here to live with my Aunt Tillie, God
rest her soul, and I started to recover.  She knew and understood me.  She
helped me through so much, and I was so glad she accepted Travis and me.
She gave us all the space we needed to develop our relationship.  To this
day, when I see a diaper, I think back to that terrible time in my life and
it scares me a lot."

	"I'm sorry Brent," a voice was heard.  "I didn't know."

Nelson and Brent looked to see Connor standing there, tears running down
his face.  Brent stood up and they hugged each other.

	"I'm sorry I attacked you.  I had no call doing that," Brent
apologized.

Connor wiped away his tears and poured himself some coffee.  "Reason Dad
and I do that is because we went through a similar situation as you did.
Mom had fallen in love with someone else when I was little.  She left us
when I was a year old.  Dad didn't know what to do.  He was working so hard
at the time and really couldn't spend time with me.  I literally grew up in
day care.  So Dad and I do it because we need to make up for all that time
we lost from each other.  If you ever want to try it, just ask.  Dad can't
replace your parents, but he could try to ease your pain over it."

Brent nodded.  "I'll think about it, okay?"

Connor nodded as both boys shook hands.  Brent stood up and left the
kitchen.

	"Dad, I really need to talk to you.  One: we need to get our own
place to do this freely again.  Two: something is going on with Dustin and
I don't know what to do about it," Connor said, sipping his coffee.

	"Son, I know we need our own place.  But until I start working
again it won't happen.  As for Dustin, I've noticed that too.  I should sit
down with him and find out what's going on with him.  If he needs help we
will help him," Nelson said.

Dustin stood on the other side of the wall, trembling.  He was scared to go
in and open himself up.  He had learned long ago in the boy whorehouse that
you never said anything personal to a client.  They weren't there to listen
to your problems.  They were there to get pleasure from a boy's body.  He
turned and sneaked into the garage.  His feelings were overwhelming him.
He felt shamed and degraded at what he had to do to survive in that place.
He turned to the drawer in the workbench and opened it.  He pulled out a
bundled up rag and unwrapped it.  The silver plated .38 lay in his hand.
The solution to his problems lay there in his hand.  It would be so easy.
Put it to his head and pull the trigger.  His hands shook as he wrapped the
gun back up in the rag and put it in the drawer.  The time wasn't right
yet.


	By the fourth day, Yoshi and Jeff were completely relaxed.
Naturally they weren't wearing any clothes.  Jeff lay with his head in
Yoshi's lap, tickling his lover's nipple.  Yoshi sighed.  This was paradise
to him.  Yet there were things that needed to be dealt with.  He sighed.

	"Are you okay love?" Jeff asked.

	"Just thinking, honey.  We got some problems to deal with.  First
off, there's the housing situation.  There are two routes we could take.
One: we buy a much bigger house for all of us.  Two: Powerhouse Productions
goes and buys four houses together and each couple takes one.  The backyard
fence between each house is taken down to form one huge backyard.  Second
problem is that Nelson is out of a job.  But he has skills that we could
use.  He knows the music industry inside out.  He knows the right kind of
people to talk to and that could open doors for the band.  Answer: we hire
him to run Powerhouse Productions.  That would solve things," Yoshi said.

	"Baby, would that ever!  That would mean more time for you to spend
with me, and of course the band!" Jeff grinned.

	"Sure would honey," Yoshi stated.  "We'll go see the Scotti
Brothers when we get back home."

	"Cool deal.  In the meantime, let's have some fun!" Jeff declared.

He got to his feet and pulled Yoshi to his.  They kissed as they crossed
the yard.  Yoshi was unaware that Jeff was steering him toward the huge mud
puddle off to the right of the cabin.  It had rained last night and the
area was still wet.  They were laughing as Jeff got Yoshi close enough.
Suddenly Jeff tripped Yoshi and he fell into the mud puddle.  Jeff laughed
as Yoshi went sprawling in the mud.  Yoshi turned over to face Jeff.  He
was completely covered in mud.  The only thing Jeff could see were the
whites of his eyes.  Jeff howled with laughter.

	"Very funny kiddo," Yoshi grinned.

Jeff extended his hand to help Yoshi up, only to get pulled down into the
mud.  Both teens rolled in the mud, wrestling each other and laughing their
heads off.  Finally exhausted, they lay there for a few moments before
getting up and going to the water hose by the front porch.  Jeff hosed down
Yoshi first, and then Yoshi hosed down Jeff.  They jumped into the shower
together and washed each other clean.  They spent the night in front of the
fireplace, making love as the mood struck.  Their love ran much deeper than
they fully realized.  To feel each other deep inside the one moved them
deeply.  They loved each other too much.  Yoshi felt Jeff riding his cock
as he watched the morning sun come up.  Making love at sunrise is an
experience to be had.  Jeff kissed away Yoshi's tears as Yoshi came inside
of Jeff.

	"God, I love you so much," Yoshi whispered as he lay back, resting
from the intense lovemaking.

Jeff stroked his cheek softly.  "I love you lots."

They hugged each other close, willing to the other his life and strength.
They were going to need it when they got back.  And so their routine
continued till Sunday came again and it was time to go home.

That morning Jeff rolled off Yoshi and made a quick breakfast while Yoshi
packed everything.  They let the boat drift back down to the marina while
Jeff entered Yoshi and made love to him once more.  Robert met them at the
dock and grinned broadly.

	"You gents have a good time?" he asked.

All he got were silly smiles in return.  They drove back to town holding
hands, listening to love songs on the radio.  Pulling into the driveway,
they noticed Nelson's car was gone.  Walking into the house, Yoshi
immediately sensed something was wrong.  Slipping into Getsumi no Michi, he
sensed feelings of desperation coming from the garage.  He moved quickly,
opening the door to the garage.  What he saw made his blood run cold.
Dustin had a gun to his head.


	"Dustin, please don't," Yoshi said softly.

Dustin turned to face Yoshi.  "You don't understand."

	"Talk to me.  Tell me.  Make me understand," he said.

Jeff had been behind him and saw everything.  He backed off quickly and
made a fast phone call to Zeus, but he wasn't there.  The others came home
in Nelson's car, and he told them what was going on.  Nelson turned pale.

"God, no!" he said, going past Jeff and headed to the garage.

	"I see what is going on between Connor and his Dad, and I wanted
that from my own father.  I hate him for what he did to me.  Why did he do
that to me?  I didn't do anything wrong!  They made me do things...things
that hurt me.  I didn't understand at first.  They made me feel like I was
a nothing, just something to be used and thrown away.  I want to be a kid
again, I want to have what Connor and Nelson have, but I can't!  I can't be
little anymore.  I can't deal with these feelings of shame anymore!" Dustin
cried out in his misery.

	"So you are going to kill yourself?  That's not the answer, Dustin.
We can help you.  We can listen to you.  We can care for you.  We can hug
you.  We can love you, which we do already.  You matter to us, you're an
important part of us," Yoshi said quietly, not wanting to push Dustin.

	"How am I an important part of you guys?" he asked, puzzled.

	"Because you are our friend, and we care about you," Connor said,
coming into the garage at that moment.

	"Because we love you," Brent added.

	"Because you have so much good qualities to share," Travis said.

	"Because you are a part of our lives," Nelson said.

	"Because you are the brother none of us ever had," Jeff stated.

Dustin lowered the gun and started to cry.  Yoshi was the first to hug him,
then Jeff, then the other guys gathered around Dustin and gave him a group
hug.  Zeus arrived at that moment, with Wang Tse-Tung behind him.  Yoshi
handed the gun to Zeus and the man took it.  Wang took it from him and
walked out.  Dustin finally cried himself out.

	"He's out," Jeff said a moment later.

Zeus stepped over and picked Dustin up in his massive black arms and
carried him up to the master bedroom.  Wang walked back into the house and
followed Zeus up the stairs.  Zeus came back down a few minutes later.
Everybody sat in the kitchen with coffee that Nelson had made.  Yoshi
sighed.  Time to start fixing things.

	"Okay.  Time to start fixing things around here.  First off, I
propose a six-month hiatus from everything.  We need to do what is needed
to fix things between all of us.  Second: we find new digs.  This place is
too small for all of us to live in.  Two ways we can do that. We can get a
house big enough for everybody, or four separate houses for each couple.
We could knock down the fences that separate each backyard to form one big
yard.  Third: Nelson will be hired by Powerhouse Productions to manage
everything.  I can't do it anymore.  Nelson has the qualifications
necessary.  How does that sound to everybody?" Yoshi stated.

	"I say yes," Connor nodded.

	"Yup," Brent said next.

	"Cool with me," Travis grinned.

	"That makes it unanimous with me," Jeff said.

	"I'm going to leave Wang with you guys.  He grew up in a boy
whorehouse in New York.  He's best qualified to help Dustin.  I'll help
when I need to," Zeus said.

	"Thanks for coming so quick," Yoshi said, shaking Zeus's hand.

Zeus nodded as he went out the door.  Yoshi returned to the kitchen.

	"Yoshi, I like the idea of four separate houses for each couple.
However, I'm not comfortable about removing the fences between the yards.
Leave them there, but put in gates instead.  I think each house should have
it's own private yard," Travis stated.

Everyone quickly agreed on that.  Yoshi nodded at the wisdom of that.

	"I'll go call the Scotti Brothers," he said.


	The guys looked at many houses and property for the next few days.
Dustin was told of the decision, and he agreed with it.  He became good
friends with Wang once he heard Wang's life story.  He knew that Wang
already lived with a lover, and didn't want to get in-between them.  He
opened up more, telling his life story over the course of days.  Everyone
else shared their own stories as well.  It served to pull them closer
together as friends.  Each opened up and shared their deepest feelings,
fears, and thoughts.  It was Dustin who found the new home of Powersound
Productions.  He had borrowed a dirt bike from a neighbor to go riding over
the hills in the back of the town.  He found a small paved road and
followed it to the end, finding a locked gate.  He took the motorcycle
through the dirt to go around the wall and found a space big enough to get
through.  There were four houses at the dead end, spaced wide apart.  They
were arranged in a half circle, the two middle houses forming the top of
the curve.  He managed to get into each house, finding either a broken
window or an open door.  The yards themselves were huge, running clear down
to the lake.  He knew without a doubt that this was it.  He got back on the
bike and sped home.  He pulled up into the driveway just as the Scotti
Brothers were arriving.  He told them of his discovery and what the houses
looked like.

The light went on in Jay's head.  "Oh yeah!  The Carters Place!  Perfect!
I'll call the bank and see if I can get the keys to it!"

	"The Carters Place.  I had forgotten that.  A guy named Carter
bought the property years ago before our Mom was born.  The guy was into
country music, playing and producing it.  Even has his own recording studio
there," Tay said.

	"A recording studio?  On the property?" Dustin grinned as an evil
glint appeared in his eyes while rubbing his hands together.

	"Where's the straitjacket?" Brent wanted to know.

Everybody laughed, including Dustin.  He knew it was just a joke.

	"Nobody knows where the keys are," Jay announced, coming back.

	"No problem.  The houses are wide open.  Windows are missing and
doors are wide open.  I'll tell you all right now; the houses need some
serious cleaning.  As to the locked front gate, I got something for that,"
Dustin said as he went into the garage.

He came back moments later with a box in his hands.  Jeff recognized it as
the pyrotechnics box.

	"You gonna blow the gate?" Jeff asked.

	"No, just the lock," Dustin said.

	"Cool.  Ten bucks on twenty yards," Jeff said, holding up a
ten-dollar bill.

Everyone got their bets in and then they left to go out there.  They found
Sheriff Whitey in his police car at the front gate when they got there.

	"Hey, what's up Sheriff?" Yoshi asked.

	"Busted another drag racer again.  You guys out house hunting?" he
asked.

	"Yup.  Dustin found this place while out here biking earlier.  He's
gonna blow the lock on the gate so we can get in," Connor said.

Whitey quickly moved the cruiser to a safe location and got his bet in.
Dustin did his thing and came back to the cover he designated as being
safe.  He connected the wires to the switch box.

	"Fire in the hole," he said and hit the switch.

There was a loud pop at the gate, accompanied by a puff of smoke.  Everyone
started looking for the lock that Dustin had painted pink before placing
the explosive.

	"Found it!" Tay said excitedly.

Dustin paced off the distance and declared Nelson the winner of sixty
dollars.  Everyone went through the gates once Dustin opened them.

"I'm going to sweep through them first," Whitey said.

"Why are you going to clean them now?  We don't even know if we're going to
buy them?  Dustin said.

"I mean make sure nobody's inside now or living here illegally."

"Oh," Dustin said and blushed.

After checking out the property and buildings they went into town to the
Peckertown Bank to start finding out about it.  Mr. Jeffers at the bank had
all the research done on it when they got there.  It took just under
fifteen minutes to seal the deal and put the other house on the market.  By
the end of the week, a construction company called Builder Boy had started
on the renovations.

Naturally each couple decided how they wanted their places fixed up.
Nelson gleefully plotted a baby's room for Connor, Brent and Travis drew up
plans for a playroom of their own, Yoshi and Jeff planned on a big game
room with big screen TV, a pool table, and pinball machines, including a
workout room.  Dustin was clearly excited about having his own house.  He
planned a tech workshop, a workout room for his weights and martial arts,
and a room for his dancing.  Teaching himself ballet and other dance forms
as a way to keep himself focused on his recovery from his suicide attempt.
He discovered he enjoyed it and found a local studio in town run by a
former Broadway dancer.  She auditioned him for the class and immediately
saw his potential.  Dustin danced every chance he got, be it in the house,
in the yard, or at his class.  He was discovering things about himself that
he never knew.  But deep down in his heart, he wanted to go back to that
time in his life and to be babied again.  If only.


	The houses were finally completed, and everyone moved in.  They got
great pleasure in setting up their houses the way they wanted them to be.
The street was renamed Powersound Blvd after the band.  They toasted to
their newfound happiness at a barbeque one night.

	"Never thought all this could be possible," Dustin said as they
relaxed by the fire pit in Yoshi's yard.

	"Anything is possible once you put your mind to it," Nelson said,
sipping the wine in his glass.

	"I'm sorry I almost ruined it all," Dustin apologized.

	"It's over and done with.  Please don't look back on it, but look
forward and know that life will get better every day," Jeff said.

	"Know we are here to support you," Brent said.

	"That's what makes us a family.  All of us caring, loving, and
supporting each other," Nelson stated.

	"So what happens now?" Dustin wanted to know.

	"We keep on going," Yoshi said.  "Nothing is going to stop us now."

They sat there for a while longer, each person lost in their own thoughts.
Dustin noticed each couple holding hands and he felt despair well up inside
of him.  He wished for a lover, someone he could love.

	"You'll find someone before long.  Be patient," a voice whispered
in his head.

He lay in bed that night, wrestling with a decision.  Sometime before dawn,
he made it.  Later that morning, he knocked on Nelson's back door.  Nelson
let him in.

	"Hi Dustin, what's up?" Nelson asked.

	"I wanted to ask you something," Dustin began nervously.

Nelson leaned forward and placed his hand over Dustin's trembling hands.
"Sure."

	"Could you.... baby me for awhile?  I...want to go back and... do
it again," Dustin whispered.

	"Are you sure about this?" Nelson asked, concerned.

	"Yes.  I want to experience what was denied me," he said, bowing
his head as tears ran down his face.

Nelson pulled the crying boy to him and hugged him tight.  He let Dustin
cry himself out while he thought about what he was going to say.

	"Dustin, could I think about this for a bit?" he asked.

Dustin nodded.  "Okay."

Nelson found Connor in the game room and explained the situation while Zeus
listened in on the speakerphone.  Both thought it would help Dustin.  The
other guys were told about it and Brent was quiet for a long time.

	"Do you think it would help him?" he asked.

	"Absolutely," Zeus replied.

	"Go for it," Brent answered.

Nelson went and got Dustin, telling him what had been decided.  Dustin
grinned.  He was going to get his wish.  Dustin was led up to the baby room
and he got a detailed explanation of what was going to happen.  Dustin was
given the chance to chicken out anytime he wanted.  Dustin was sure he
wanted this.  Connor was to help by being the big brother.  Dustin was cool
with it all.

	"Okay, if you are ready, we'll get started then," Nelson said.

Dustin nodded, getting a bit nervous.  Nelson undressed Dustin, and then
led the Vietnamese teen to a table against one wall.  He had Dustin lie
flat on his back while he got out a diaper and unfolded it.  Nelson put it
on Dustin and taped it into place, and then set Dustin on the floor.
Dustin sat there and moved his hands over the diaper.  It felt strange, but
good.  During the next month, Dustin got the full treatment of baby life.
He felt deep down that it was finally filling in that hole that he had
carried inside of him for a long time.  The second month was spent growing
up as a toddler.  Dustin enjoyed it to the max, loving every minute of it.
Brent saw what was going on, and he slowly came around to the idea.  Once
Dustin had come back to being 14 years old again, he sat down with Zeus and
both of them talked about the experience.  Dustin felt very good about it.
Zeus wondered if there was something to this regression business and
decided to raise the question at a psychiatrist's convention.  Dustin
agreed to help Zeus by writing down his feelings about the whole
experience.  He kept his fingers crossed, hoping that someday he'd find
love soon.


	It happened one warm spring day.  One of the back doors had gotten
warped from the recent rain, so he called Builder Boy to see if they could
send someone out with a new door to replace the warped one.  A boy named
Nico arrived shortly and examined the problem door.

	"Oh ya," he said in a thick Italian accent," I can do this easy."

Dustin grinned.  "Thanks.  I appreciate that."

He left Nico alone to deal with the problem while he went to fix the
speakers in his dance studio.  He got them fixed and turned on the tape
deck to check the sound.  The music came out all of the speakers in each
corner.  As he checked the balance Dustin felt the music take control and
started to dance enthusiastically, the music lifting him higher as he moved
to it.  He forgot everything and felt so free.  He relaxed once the music
was over.  He turned to the bay window and saw Nico staring at him.  He
jumped out of shock, not expecting him there.  Nico stumbled back and
turned to flee.  Dustin saw the danger before Nico did, a rake lying on the
grass.  Nico stepped on it and the handle rose quickly, introducing it's
self to Nico's forehead.  Dustin rushed out of the house to where Nico lay
on the ground.  Nico blinked up at Dustin, wondering how the hell he got
down here and what smacked him in the head so forcefully.

	"Hey, are you all right?" Dustin asked.

Nico slowly sat up, the pain in his head apparent.  Dustin helped him up
and into the kitchen.  He quickly got an ice pack and held it up to Nico's
head.

	"Yer door's fixed," he muttered.

	"Are you alright?" Dustin asked again.

Nico looked at him.  "Yeah, I will be."

They stared at each other for a moment, each feeling an attraction
beginning.  Nico put down the ice pack, nervously licking his lips.  Dustin
felt his heart start beating faster as they moved closer to each other.
Before they knew it, they were kissing.  Dustin felt something explode
inside of him, and he welcomed the rush of passion feelings.  He unzipped
Nico's overalls, and got his first shock.  Nico was built.  He was a
miniature Arnold Schwarzenegger.  The boy had huge arms and a huge chest.
He was just huge.

	"I work out a lot," he whispered.

Dustin frantically stripped Nico, he wanted to see the rest of him as they
went up the stairs to Dustin's bedroom, trailing clothes all the way.  Nico
paused long enough to strip Dustin as well.  Both fell on the bed together
and began the lovemaking that Dustin would remember well into their old
age.  They kissed some more, and began to kiss, touch, caress and explore
each other.  Dustin couldn't believe the size of Nico.  They went crazy
from the passion feelings their lovemaking intense and hot.  Nico insisted
on using a condom until they had gotten tested.  Dustin reached into a
drawer and pulled out condoms and lube.  While Nico lubed his asshole up,
Dustin teased the massive eight inches while pulling the condom on.  Nico
looked deep into Dustin's eyes and smiled.  Dustin felt joy swell up inside
of him.  This was really happening.  He finally found what he was looking
for, and wanted.

	"Get on top, and work yourself down on me slowly," Nico whispered.

Dustin did, feeling the big eight-inch slapping his bottom.  He slowly sat
down on it, working it inside of his hole.  Once the head was seated inside
of him and he got comfortable, he introduced the rest of Nico's cock into
his ass.  The feelings took over both of them, taking them to lover's
pleasures and heights that they'd never experienced before.  Dustin rode
Nico's cock a few times before Nico turned him over on his back and began
the intercourse.  Dustin closed his eyes and moaned, groaned, whimpered,
and cried as Nico pleasure his ass with his cock.  Feeling what it was like
to want to have a cock inside him for the first time in his life.

The big Italian boy had never experienced pleasure like this, usually being
the pincushion for others in the company.  He kept on going until he got to
his breaking point.

	"I CUM!  I CUM!" he yelled, and did.

Dustin felt Nico's cock expand, then jerk as the boy unloaded his cream
into the condom.  Nico kept fucking Dustin until he was dry.  He slipped
himself out of Dustin and frantically slid a condom on Dustin's thin seven
inches.  Dustin didn't hesitate to plunge into Nico.  The boy shivered as
he cried out in ecstasy.

	"DO ME DO ME!" he cried out lustily.

Instinct inside Dustin's brain kicked in and Dustin fucked him for all he
was worth.  He had wanted this for so long.  He held onto Nico's big sweaty
body, reveling in the wild passion feelings that had full control of him.
It didn't take long for him to cum.  He slammed himself into Nico's ass as
hard as he could, trying to give Nico as much pleasure as he could.
Dustin's cock expanded, then jerked, as he unloaded his cum into the
condom.  He collapsed on Nico's back once he was finished.  Both boys lay
down in the bed, completely exhausted.  Nico pulled the condom off Dustin,
then wrapped his big arms around him as they drifted off to sleep.  About
that time, Brent crossed over into Dustin's yard wanting to borrow some
coffee for tomorrow morning.  He found a trail of clothes starting in the
kitchen and leading up the stairs to Dustin's bedroom.  He saw Dustin in
bed with the biggest kid he'd ever seen, big enough to give Sergey a run
for his money.  He quietly sneaked back down the stairs, leaving the new
lovers alone.


	The early morning air came in through the sliding glass door of
Dustin's bedroom.  Dustin stirred and slowly woke up.  He looked up into
the most beautiful green eyes he'd ever seen.

	"Hi," he said.

Nico smiled and took Dustin in his strong arms and they kissed. Dustin
sighed and snuggled down into those very muscular arms.  He'd finally found
his happiness.

	"You hungry?" he asked.

	"Yes," Nico said.

Dustin got out of bed and loaned Nico some shorts to wear.  Nico followed
Dustin down to the kitchen.  They ate breakfast while they talked.

	"I come here to Peckertown about two years ago.  I spent time on
the streets and then with a man who let me workout on his weights and live
with him in exchange for sex.  I get a job with Builder Boy when they
started up about a year and a half ago.  Once I started making enough money
to live on my own, he kick me out.  I am Italian, 14 years old, and my full
name is Nicolo Trimarchi, Nico for short.  I have wanted a lover for a long
time to share my life with.  There was something about you that attracted
me to you.  That's why I watched you dance in that room.  You just took my
breath away," Nico said.

	"Thanks.  My name is Dustin.  If I have a last name, I don't know
what it is.  My father sold me to a boy whorehouse when I was three, and I
escaped from there a year ago.  I was digging through Yoshi Toranaga's
trashcan looking for food when they found me and took me in.  Now I handle
their sound gear and high tech stuff.  When I saw you looking in the window
at me, I couldn't help jumping.  I've never felt this way about anybody
before.  I've never been in love with anybody before," Dustin looked
straight into Nico's eyes.  "Would you be my lover?"

Nico took Dustin's hands in his big paws.  "Yes.  Yes I will,"

They hugged and kissed in the kitchen.  Their lives were taking a new
direction, changing for the better.  Dustin felt so complete.  Nico picked
up his clothes and dressed.

	"I need to get back.  I'm going to ask for some time off and I'll
be back as quick as I can," Nico said as they walked out to his work truck.

	"I'll be waiting for you," Dustin smiled as he closed the door.

He leaned into the window and they kissed, unaware they had an audience.
As Nico drove out through the gate and disappeared down the road, Dustin
couldn't contain his joy any longer.  He hugged himself and laughed.

	"Yahoo!" he yelled, leaping in the air.

He heard applause from behind him, and he turned to see everybody standing
there and clapping.  He walked over to them and they congratulated him.  He
spent the next hour telling them about Nico.

	"I'm in love," he said.  "I am in love!"

Nico was thinking the same as he drove away.  He hated to leave, but he had
to.  He got back to the yard and turned in the truck.  Walking into the
office, he encountered the boss coming out of the workroom.  He sat down
with him and told him all about falling in love with Dustin.  People in the
office congratulated Nico.  Somebody asked if he was moving in with Dustin
right away.  Nico hadn't considered that, thinking it would be best to take
it one day at a time.  It was the right decision to make.  They needed to
spend time before making that kind of decision.  The boss gave him a whole
week off.

Nico went home and changed into better clothes before heading back to
Dustin's house.  Dustin had given him the gate code before he left, so he
used it to enter.  Parking the car, he saw Dustin come out of the house
towards him.  He felt the glow start deep inside of him.  Dustin reached
him and they embraced, kissing.

	"If this is what falling in love is about, I never want to lose
this feeling," Nico remarked as they hugged.

	"Me neither," Dustin agreed.


	They spent the week together, doing things together and talking.
One of the things they did that day was to go into town and take the AIDS
test.  Both came out clean, which relieved both young men a lot.  Dustin
gave Nico a private dance performance, Nico applauding the show.  Nights
were spent making love in Dustin's bedroom, sharing each other's bodies.
Their happiness rubbed off on the others.  Brent and Travis became a lot
more enthusiastic in their lovemaking, as well as Yoshi and Jeff, Connor
and Nelson.  From long conversations between recording music, over the fire
pit at Yoshi's yard, on the boat during fishing expeditions, and in the
touring bus going to shows, they shared what they had learned from each
other and from the others in the six months that it took to rebuild things.
Everybody was comfortable with each other now, comfortable in knowing what
made the other tick, comfortable in accepting the differences in the other
person.

It no longer bothered Brent to see Connor wander around his yard in a
diaper, or the occasional ride to the mailboxes at the front gate in a
stroller, or being bottle fed in front of him.  He knew those things were
what made Connor and Nelson closer as father and son, as well as being
sexual with each other.

Brent and Travis were into bondage and playing in playrooms, which bothered
both Connor and Nelson at first.  All four agreed to experience the other
couples fetish one time just for the hell of it.  Brent walked away from
his baby experienced a changed man.  He had no idea how loving and caring
Nelson was to Connor when they did the baby scene.  He actually experienced
very warm feelings the whole time.  Travis went through it as well, feeling
very enlightened as well.

Connor and Nelson went through a scene in Brent and Travis's playroom and
it changed their ideas completely about that scene.  What they knew of such
things they had gotten from the net and having seen Benjy Jorgenson's stage
show at the Little Leather Club.  They had not realized there was another
side to it, a side that promoted pleasure instead of pain.

Yoshi decided for himself after consulting Jeff on the issue that he'd like
to try this out for himself.  So he spent a week as a baby much to Jeff's
delight.  Jeff got a royal kick out of bottle feeding Yoshi and changing
him when needed.  Then it was Jeff's turn, and it brought out the father's
instinct in Yoshi.  Not only did it affect him greatly, he hoped that
someday he would get lucky and become a father.  Brent and Travis gleefully
put both Jeff and Yoshi through the playroom and all four had fun.  Yoshi
was blown away by the fact that he had multiple orgasms with out his cock
being touched by hand, mouth, or Jeff's ass.  He was still relieving those
moments for days afterwards.  Watching Jeff having multiple orgasms while
being in restraints and having vibrating toys in his ass had turned Yoshi
on incredibly.  With Brent's help, he went and got some toys for him and
Jeff to play with.  These were events that pulled them closer not just as a
band but as a family.  They felt so much better about themselves.


	Summer was in full swing by now.  The new CD would be out by late
summer, the recording and work having been finished.  Yoshi had realized
that he had neglected to call his folks in weeks so he did, filling them in
on everything that had happened over the last few months.  He and Jeff
invited them down for a few days to see the new house and the grounds to
which his family eagerly accepted.  Ieyasu joyfully laid plans for the
trip.  He was going to his son's house again, and he couldn't be happier.
They planned on being there in a week.  Yoshi was excited.  He couldn't be
happier.  There was nothing planned now the CD was done and in the final
stages. Everyone started to relax now, doing their own thing.  That night
in bed, Yoshi held Jeff close to him.

	"You know, I feel good about the way things have worked out for
everybody.  Hiring Nelson to run Powersound Productions was the best
decision we ever made.

"I think getting married was the decision the we ever made," Jeff said and
kissed Yoshi's cheek.

Yoshi laughed, "You know what I mean.  He sure straightened out a lot of
things and got the company and personal finances back into shape.  I had no
idea things were that bad," Yoshi said.

	"Don't blame yourself, honey.  You tried your best and that's all
it matters," Jeff reassured Yoshi.

	"I'm so glad things worked out for Dustin.  He sure is happy with
Nico now.  I was really worried about him for a long time.  His suicide
attempt scared the hell out of me," Yoshi sighed.  "As a matter of fact,
I'm glad we all worked things out between all of us.  I understand the
others much better now.  Believe it or not, I think what we went through
with the others has brought us together even more."

Jeff thought about that for a moment.  "I definitely agree with that,
sweetheart."

Yoshi sighed and hugged Jeff closer to him.  They kissed each other,
beginning the lovemaking.  They touched, kissed, hugged, and caressed each
other to total arousal.  Yoshi smiled at Jeff as he slid inside Jeff,
beginning the intercourse.  He did it slow and gentle, wanting to make it
last as long as he could.  Jeff got lost in the feelings he was
experiencing.  This was love, the kind of love that was meant to be.  He
managed to contain himself right up to the end, when he couldn't hold on
anymore and let himself go, shooting his load deep into Jeff.  Jeff sighed
happily, feeling his lover cum inside of him.

In the next house, Nico had wrapped his massive arms around Dustin and was
raising and dropping the lithe teen on his cock.  Both teens were in
Nirvana, experiencing joyous pleasure.  Nico could feel Dustin's heartbeat
through his arms, and he timed his moves to Dustin's heartbeats.  He wasn't
too far from his orgasm.  He raised Dustin totally off his cock and stood
up.  He turned Dustin around to face him and lifted him in his arms once
again.  Dustin wrapped his legs around Nico's waist and the big muscled
teen worked his cock back into Dustin with a little help from Dustin's
hand.  He held Dustin tight to him while he rocked his cock back and forth
inside Dustin.  He was getting close to his orgasm and so was Dustin,
Nico's cock rubbing his prostate on each in stroke.  Both teens moaned out
as they came, Nico inside Dustin and Dustin in-between them.  Nico dropped
to his knees and kissed Dustin passionately.  They rested together, their
sweat mingling on their bodies.

Travis and Brent were getting off in their own way.  Travis had tied Brent
to the bed frame and was working over his lover with a rose in full bloom.
Brent whimpered and cried as Travis brushed the rose over his aroused body
slowly. As Travis moved the rose lower down Brent's thrashing body, he
started to lick and suck on his lover's body.  He teased Brent's erect cock
with the rose, making Brent scream in frustration.  Travis laughed and then
wet Brent's cock with his mouth, getting it ready for intercourse.  Travis
straddled Brent's body and slowly worked Brent's hard cock into his body.
Once he had engulfed Brent's cock with his ass, he slowly rode it while
teasing Brent's body with the rose.  Brent went crazy, thrashing and trying
to break loose so he could give Travis's ass the pounding it deserved.
Travis laughed in delight, enjoying the fucking while teasing Brent.
Finally he leaned over and freed Brent's feet, then his hands.  Brent
heaved Travis off him, flipped him on his back, and entered him in one
shot.  Travis threw back his head and moaned loudly.  He brushed the rose
across Brent's back while Brent frenzy fucked his ass, cumming in hard fast
shots.  They collapsed together, sighing in pleasure.

Father and son were having a little fun of their own.  Connor was on his
back, sucking Nelson's cock while getting his own deep throated.  Father
and son sucked on each other for a few minutes, and then got to the main
event.

	"Daddy wants to give his little boy a wiener inside his little
boy's buns," Nelson cooed at Connor while lubing up the boy's gate with a
KY slicked finger.

Connor breathed heavily as his father finger fucked him.  He wanted more
than his father's finger he wanted Daddy's cock in there.

	"Gimme your cock, Daddy!" he whined like a little boy.  "I want it,
I want it, and I want it!"

Nelson grinned.  "Now be good, and Daddy will give you the treat."

Nelson lifted Connor's legs and put them on his shoulders, and placed
himself at the entrance to Connor's gate.  He slowly pushed himself into
Connor, taking the time to enjoy the feeling of his cock sinking into his
son's ass.  He felt the teen's ass muscles grab his cock and squeeze it
hard as he entered Connor.  He listened to the boy's cries of pleasure and
felt a thrill of excitement run through him.  He stopped once he got his
cock inside Connor.  He relaxed for a moment, and then started the fucking.
Connor squealed as he felt his father's cock leave his ass, and then plunge
right back inside.  Nelson closed his eyes and gave himself over to the
pleasures.  He plowed Connor's ass with his cock, going harder and faster
each time before he started unloading his sperm into Connor.

	"Take my Daddy juice, boy!" Nelson growled as he fucked Connor
hard.

Connor raised his head.  "Gimme it, gimme it, gimme it!"

Both man and boy shivered as each had their orgasm, Nelson inside Connor
and Connor an anal one.  Both fell onto the bed and sighed in relief.
Nelson grinned at Connor.

	"I'm tired, Daddy.  Put me to bed?" Connor asked in his little boy
voice.

Nelson picked up Connor and carried him to the nursery.  Putting Connor on
the change table, he cleaned up the boy and taped a diaper into place.  He
put Connor in his crib and kissed him goodnight.  Going into his room, he
knew Connor would screw him in the morning.  He relaxed and was soon
asleep.


	The Toranagas arrived a week later.  As they drove up to the
houses, they could see Yoshi standing there waiting.  Mariko was the first
person Yoshi greeted.  He hugged her, then his two brothers.  Ieyasu
stepped up to him last.

	"Welcome back Father," Yoshi respectfully bowed.

	"It is good to see you my son," Ieyasu returned the bow and then
hugged him.

Yoshi gave them a tour of the new house and grounds, and then let the
others show off their houses while he parked the motor home by the garages
and plugged it into the proper outlets.  Watching his Father walk towards
him, Yoshi was recalling memories of a different time in his life when he
was younger.  Ieyasu had always been there for him, always encouraging him,
always teaching him things, and always telling him how much he was loved.
He felt warm feelings come up from deep inside of him.

	"Thank you for being my Father," he said, reaching out for Ieyasu
and hugging him tight.

Ieyasu returned the hug, wondering what was going on.  Yoshi led him to the
back patio and they sat down.  Over a couple of cold beers, Yoshi told him
what had been going on.  He left nothing out, told him everything.  Ieyasu
nodded quietly, taking it all in.  Now he understood why Yoshi had said
what he did.  Both talked through the day, bonding even more than they ever
had.

Around the fire that night, Yoshi came to a realization.  Everybody there
was his family. His own family, his life mate Jeff, the other guys Connor,
Travis, Brent, Dustin, and Nico his brothers, and Nelson his uncle.  He
stood up with his glass of wine and got everybody's attention.

	"I just wanted to say that I just came to a realization that all of
us here tonight are one big happy family, people that I love very much.  We
have been through a lot in the last few months, and it has served to
strengthen our family ties even more.  I propose a toast to the continued
happiness, joy, love, and long life to this family.  May we always be happy
together," Yoshi said, raising his glass.

There were murmured assents, and glasses clinked.  Jeff's hand found it's
way into Yoshi's, and they faced each other, joy and love evident on their
faces.  He caught the expression on his Father's face.  Ieyasu nodded,
approving what Yoshi said.

	"That was beautiful love," Jeff kissed Yoshi.

	"Very true," Nelson nodded.

And it was.


END (for now!)
