Nick's Dragons - 1

The sun was warm, but not unbearably hot; the library pleasantly cool and
quiet. The quaint river town had been given its name by French fur traders
more than three hundred years earlier. They had seen native people playing
a game which they called, Lacrosse, the name stuck. For all that, nothing
changed very much, kids were born, grew up, and some moved away. Those that
stayed found jobs and raised families of their own.

The plain and somewhat unkempt boy was in his usual place in the library,
sitting cross legged on the floor in the kids' reading area. His back was
against the wall, as he rested a book in his lap. He appeared to be about
fourteen. His tangled black hair looked in need of a good wash and a
trim. His jeans hinted they had been handed down. His striped pull over
shirt was faded and somewhat dingy, the cheap sneakers well worn and
dirty. He didn't look like a bad kid, other words came to mind; neglected,
ignored, forgotten, and almost certainly invisible.

Daniel Knight, however, had noticed. Having just completed his
undergraduate degree at the local college; he knew a degree in English
wouldn't be as useful as one with teaching credentials, so had decided to
begin a master's degree in the fall. He had come to the library every
morning since, spending three or four hours in order to make a start on the
long reading list the school had sent at the end of term.

Daniel had noticed the kid had been there every day as well. What had
caught Daniel's eye was the look of sadness on his face until he had a book
in his hand. Once he sat down, a smile slowly appeared as the words on the
page seemed to work a kind of magic.

* * * *

As the days went by, Daniel watched as the kid carefully looked at everyone
as they came and went. He would seem to appraise each person and then,
apparently having summed them up; would go back to his reading. Several
times a day Daniel became aware that he himself was the subject of the
kid's looks. He shifted uncomfortably a couple of times at first, but
eventually glanced back. He smiled; the kid quickly looked down, and
returned to his reading.

It was on Tuesday of the following week that they finally spoke.

"Mister, could you help me reach a book?" the kid asked softly as he walked
up to Daniel.

"Sure, my name's Daniel, what's yours?"

"I'm Nick, well Nicholas actually, but I like Nick better."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too." Nick smiled.

"What book do you need?"

"It's over there," the kid pointed, "It's about Dragons."

Daniel smiled, "I loved books like that when I was your age."

Nick grinned, "You did?"

"Yeah, it was one of my all time favorite things to read about."

Nick smiled, "I think somebody put them in the wrong place. They should be
down lower."

Daniel retrieved the book from one of the upper shelves and handed it to
Nick. "Here you go, let me know if you need anything else."

"Thanks," Nick blushed.

Daniel nodded and went back to his studies.

* * * *

The next day Daniel was surprised to find Nick was already in his usual
place when he arrived. "The little guy is early today!" Daniel mused,
spreading out his work.

As Daniel settled in, he glanced over to see Nick was staring at him
again. Daniel smiled and gave a little wave of his hand. Nick grinned and
shyly waved back. It seemed they were becoming "study buddies".

An hour or so later, Daniel looked up to see Nick standing a foot or so
away from him. At just a bit over five feet he appeared small in stature,
and to Daniel, thinner than most boys his age. His features were delicate,
his skin a soft tone that suggested a Mediterranean heritage.

"I need another book," Nick said softly with an embarrassed look.

Daniel grinned. "No problem," he laughed, "which one?"

"The Sorcerer's Dragon," Nick replied. They walked to the stack. As Daniel
handed it to him, Nick's hand brushed against Daniel's. "Sorry," he mumbled
and turned red.

Daniel nodded, "It's okay."

Several more days went by in much the same way, each exchanging a few words
with the other, but never straying away from the topic of books.

* * * *

"Daniel, I need you again," Nick giggled.

"You finished that last book already?"

"Yeah, it was great! It had knights, and swords, dragons, and everything!"

Daniel smiled. "You really love that stuff don't you?"

Nick looked down, "Sometimes it's nice to be in another place for a while,"
He whispered.

Daniel nodded. "I think I know what you mean. Do you mind if I ask you
something?"

Nick shrugged.

"I noticed that you're still wearing the same clothes you had on three days
ago. Are you okay?"

Nick blushed. "I have a couple of more shirts, but mom hasn't done laundry
for a while. She's been sick. We have to go to the Laundromat and it's four
blocks away."

Daniel nodded. "Nick, if you needed help, you'd let me know, right?"

Nick nodded gently.

As he turned to go, Daniel saw tears in the boy's eyes.

* * * *

Daniel tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep. Seeing the sadness on
Nick's face haunted him. Daniel hurried to the library early the next
morning. He wanted to be the first person there. He was surprised to see
Nick already sitting on the curb.

"You're here early," Daniel smiled as he sat down next to the boy.

"No place else to go," Nick shrugged.

"How's your mom doing?"

Nick looked up at Daniel, paused, and then spoke. "She's passed out
again. She was drinking all night," he whispered.

"Your dad?"

"Never met him."

"Are you the only one at home?"

"My older brother ran away last year. We don't know where he is." Nick's
head drooped, he stared at his feet. There was a little growl from his
stomach.

"Was that you?" Daniel laughed gently.

"Yeah," Nick blushed.

"How about some breakfast? My treat?"

Nick looked up.

"Golden arches, how about it?"

A small smile crossed Nick's face, "Could I get pancakes?"

"Whatever you want!"

* * * *

Breakfast over, Daniel and Nick climbed back into Daniel's car.

Daniel rolled down the window. "No offense, Nick, but we really need to get
you some clean clothes," he laughed softly.

"Sorry," Nick said making a sad face.

"Not your fault," Daniel quickly added. "How about we stop at one of those
big box stores and I get you something clean to wear?"

"My mom doesn't have any money for new clothes."

"She has money for drinking though," Daniel thought, but didn't say
anything.

"I've got plastic, I'll worry about paying for it next month," he laughed.

Two pairs of jeans, a couple of shirts, and a pack of boxers later the guys
left the store.

"Thanks, Daniel," Nick whispered as he climbed into the car.

"My pleasure, now can we get you showered up?"

Nick nodded. "Yeah, it's even starting to bother me!" he giggled.

"I'll take you home, which way?" Daniel asked, pulling out.

"I'm not sure that would be a good idea, you know, my mom and all?"

"Well, I guess you can come to my place."

Nick shrugged, "I can do it later."

Daniel smiled, "Believe me, now is better than later," he laughed and waved
his hand past his nose.

"Okay, I give up," Nick giggled.

* * * *

Daniel lived in a small apartment on the second floor of an older home. It
had its own entrance, a tiny living room, kitchen, bath and an average size
bedroom. It was described in the newspaper as a "cozy one bedroom" but
Daniel thought that was being generous.

Daniel opened the door and Nick walked in.

"Boy, you sure have a lot of books!" Nick said, looking around. There were
stacks on every table, the floor, and all the shelves were full. Daniel
guessed a newcomer would think it looked like a professor's study at an Ivy
League college.

"I've been collecting them since I was little."

"What are they about?"

"Lots of things. Adventures mostly."

"Cool."

"The bathroom is over there, towels are in the cupboard under the sink."

"Thanks."

Twenty minutes later, Nick stepped out, barefoot, scrubbed clean and
wearing his new clothes, Daniel having quietly tossed the old ones in the
trash.

"Do you have a comb or something?"

"Yeah," Daniel smiled. The kid's hair looked like that of a wet rat. It
didn't take long before Nick was squared away and they were ready to get
going.

* * * *

It was past noon when the guys pulled into the lot behind the library.

"I have to go check on my mom."

"No problem, I hope she's feeling better."

"Yeah," Nick said sadly, "Thanks again, Daniel."

"Anytime."

* * * *

The next day, Daniel once again made it a point to be the first at the
library, this time there was no sign of Nick. Daniel made himself
comfortable and started reading. The first hour went by and then the
second, still no sign of Nick. It was nearly eleven before the boy finally
came through the door. Daniel waved him over.

"I was worried about you," he said, pleased to see that Nick looked freshly
showered and his hair somewhat more managed.

"My mom had a guy over," Nick mumbled, "I had to wait until he left."

Daniel nodded, "Did you eat?" he asked softly.

"Some toast," Nick shrugged.

Daniel's anger rose, but he hid it. "I know a great pizza place," he forced
a smile, "let's read for a while and then take a break."

Nick grinned, "Thanks."

* * * *

Daniel wasn't surprised to see how eagerly Nick dove into the pizza. The
place had an all-you-can-eat buffet so you could fill your plate and go
back for seconds or thirds. Nick did just that.

"I'm stuffed," Nick finally groaned, and then let out a big burp. "Oops,
sorry." he giggled.

"Happens to me all the time," Daniel laughed.

Nick looked across the table, "Thanks for being so nice to me," he said
with a blush, "Nobody else seems to care."

"I'm sure your mom does, but like you said, she's sick."

Nick made a sad face, "she likes to drink and can't seem to stop."

"My dad was like that," Daniel whispered.

"Really?"

"Yeah, really."

"What did you do?"

"I got up every morning. I went to school and made a promise to myself to
never be like him."

Nick's lower lip trembled. "But, it's so hard."

Daniel reached over and touched the young boy's hand. "Hard as fighting
Dragons?" he smiled gently.

Nick sniffed, wiped the tears from his eyes, "Harder," he choked.

"If I could do it, so can you!"

Nick appeared unconvinced.

"Nick, we should call Social Services, you need help."

"No!" Nick started to get up.

Daniel stopped him.

"We have to, kids your age need a mom." Daniel tried again.

Nick slid lower in his chair and glared at Daniel. "You call them; they'll
put me in foster care. If they do that, I'll run away!"

Daniel saw the determination in Nick's eyes. "You'd do it, wouldn't you?"

Nick nodded.

Daniel had no doubt Nick would do what he said. "Okay, I won't call them,
but, if things get worse, no promises."

Nick looked up, "Thanks, Daniel," he said gently.

* * * *

Nick carefully folded his jeans, laid them on the shelf in his closet, and
then hung his shirt on a wire hanger. He crawled into bed and pulled the
sheet over himself, the warm night air felt a bit humid. He was glad he had
clean boxers for the morning. He didn't like going to bed knowing that he
only had dirty ones.

Nick reached down and slipped his hand between his legs. His penis firmed
up the instant he touched it. The sound of the television drifted from the
living room, his mother was entertaining again. Nick knew that after a
while the television would be turned off and then other sounds would come
from the bedroom. He stroked his dick a couple of times and the slender
shaft became hard. He closed his eyes and let his mind wander. He usually
came back to the same fantasy. He jerked slowly at first, then with a bit
more intensity. His cock swelled and soon he felt it coming, the moment
every boy loved.

"Oh, oh," he grunted softly as three long squirts shot out the end of his
dick. The warm cream felt fantastic as Nick worked it over the head of his
cock. He circled the knob and slid his hand back down the shaft. He loved
the feel of cum.

Nick continued to milk himself until his cock started to soften, then he
stopped. He caught his breath.

"That was a good one," he sighed, wiping his messy hand on the mattress.
He yawned.

Jerking off had become an almost nightly ritual. Nick had first made sperm
a year earlier, and since then wanted to do it as often as he could.

As sleep started to come, Nick's thoughts turned to another time and place.
The heavy horse carried the armor clad knight toward the beast, while the
townspeople made their escape. The knight drew his broadsword and the
battle was on.

"Please let him win," Nick whispered as his eye lids fluttered, "please?"

He yawned and sleep overtook him.

* * * *

Daniel popped the top on a soft drink and sank down in the tired cushions
of the old arm chair in his living room. The television was on, but he
hadn't been paying it any attention. He had answered a few emails, and
roamed from one porn site to the next seeing if anything would catch his
eye. Nothing had, he was bored. He looked at the cell phone on the coffee
table. It had gotten a lot less use lately. Just after Christmas, with
graduation looming, a decision had to be made.

"This is it then?" Daniel asked just after his boyfriend had announced he
had accepted a job thousands of miles away in California.

"You could come with me," Logan had offered.

But, both knew what the answer would be. Their relationship had been
growing more distant as time went on. They both sensed it was meant to end
rather than continue. There were tears, a few more amazing times in bed,
and then things sort of ended. The odd thing was they remained friends.

Daniel stared at the phone for a moment longer, picked it up, and hit the
button he knew so well.

"Hey," Daniel said gently when Logan answered.

"How's my ex?" Logan answered back, tenderness in his voice.

"Kind of lonely,"

"Yeah,"

"Did you meet anyone yet?" Daniel laughed softly.

There was a giggle, "Yeah, how about you?"

"That's why I called," Daniel whispered.

"Are you going to tell me? Or make me guess?" Logan laughed.

Daniel laughed, too. "You haven't changed a bit."

"So is he a hottie or what?"

Daniel paused. "He loves to read about Dragons."
