Mark and Bill stayed up rather late groping with these and other questions
about life and death, love and sex.  When they couldn't keep their eyes
open any longer they sacked together.  The two were fast becoming close
friends in spite of their difference in age. They understood each other's
suffering and were becoming a comfort to one another.  They shared a mutual
attraction but it was not sexual.  Both were searching for meaning and
their paths merged as they continued on their quest.


The Master and his Mate - by Deepdiver

CHAPTER 13 - Horns of a Dilemma


Mark was feeling ill at ease and uncomfortable with nothing purposeful to
do. He approached Ryan and told him that he felt it was time for him to
return to school.  Ryan thought it was much too soon, but then thought
getting back into a familiar routine might help the boy to work through his
grieving process. He agreed that he would take Mark to school on Monday and
while there, would see the school's Student Administrator and update Mark's
records so they knew he was Mark's foster father and had all his contact
information.

                            * * *

When Mark arrived at the school on Monday, he found that his classmates and
the staff were all very supportive.  He was especially glad to be reunited
with his best friend, Peter Christopher, and everyone was surprised to see
him so soon.  During homeroom, the teacher got all the students to ask Mark
about the accident; as different recollections occured he became somewhat
choked up, but only a few tears escaped when he told them how Ryan had
tried to rescue his parents, but was unable to find them in the debris.

Once everyone had got through quizzing Mark, the teacher finished up by
expressing everyone's sympathy for Mark and pledging to support him; then
the teacher got down to the business of the day.  He reminded everyone of
the forthcoming fund raiser and that they and their parents were expected
to attend.  As he described the benefit which was to be a live presentation
of a nightly nationally syndicated radio show hosted by Bruce Williams, he
handed out the tickets to each student.

Mark felt his stomach doing flips and wished he hadn't decided to come back
to school so soon.  He hadn't mentioned when he described the rescue that
Ryan was gay or that he was living together with his partner.  It suddenly
dawned on Mark that all his classmates would soon be aware that he was
living with a gay couple and he was fearing their reaction.  He would soon
be the butt of all the gay jokes in the school.

When he arrived back at the 'Gardie' he came aboard with barely a word of
greeting and both Ryan and Kyle noticed the subdued, haunted look on his
face.

"So how did school go for you today, Mark?"  Kyle asked.

"OK, it was OK."  Mark said, trying desperately to evade the topic that was
gnawing at his insides.

"I'm glad it was OK for you, but that doesn't really tell us much about how
it went," Ryan said, "Can't you tell us a bit about what you got up to?
Surely, it wasn't just a normal day back at school after all that's
happened?" Ryan continued.

"I'm thirsty, I need something to drink," Mark said, evading the subject
completely as he headed toward the galley.

Once he was out of earshot, Kyle mentioned that he looked somewhat
depressed.  Ryan agreed that something was amiss and decided to fetch the
corn he was planning to cook on the grill.  "Let me go in alone and see if
I can find out what's bothering him," he said.

As Ryan entered the galley, Mark quickly stood up and turned to leave for
the main stateroom.

"Please don't go.  I need to say something to you."  Ryan said as he pulled
the ears of unhusked corn out of the fridge.  Mark returned to his seat and
sat, looking down into his glass of milk.

"It seems clear to me that something is bothering you.  But I want you to
know that I respect your privacy.  There's no need to tell me or Kyle
anything.  However, if you decide to share it, please know that either of
us will be more than glad to hear you out.  We only ask because we care.
If you are depressed because of your parents death, that is a perfectly
normal reaction and you can just tell us to blow off."  Ryan said trying to
support the boy who was clearly suffering.

"The problem is that the school is going to have a benefit to raise money
and all of our parents are supposed to attend."  Mark explained.

"No problem.  Just give me the date so I can fit it in my schedule and I am
sure I can get Kyle to agree."

"That's the problem.  If you and Kyle go then everyone will know that I
live with a gay couple."  Mark blurted out.

"Oh, I see ... well, maybe just one of us could go?"  Ryan suggested.

"But don't you see?  If I ask one of you to not come that would be
betraying either you or Kyle who have both taken me in.  I couldn't do
that."

"Ah so you have a real dilemma; 'dammed if you do and dammed if you don't'
as they say.  Well, Mark, now I understand better why you are so upset.
Let me just say, that whatever you decide, I will support your decision and
I respect you for the way you are thinking about this situation.  I am
proud of you and your parents.  They must have been very special if they
taught you to be so sensitive and faithful to your values.  Honestly, count
on me to go or stay and know that I won't be hurt by your decision."  Ryan
assured the boy.

Later, Ryan explained to Kyle what was bothering Mark: "Mark is upset
because his school is having a benefit to raise money and the students are
supposed to attend with their parents."  Ryan explained to Kyle.

"I'm not sure that I'm ready to go public as a couple yet."  Kyle observed.

"You may not have to."  Ryan explained the situation to Kyle.

Later that evening Bill came over and during supper he also noticed that
Mark was not his usual self.  Afterwards he remarked to Kyle that Mark
looked depressed.

"Mark is in a dilemma about whether to invite us to a school activity or
not."  Kyle explained.

"What's a dilemma?"  Bill asked.

"Its like during sex when you don't know if you want to be alone with your
lover or if you want a third guy present to make it more interesting!"
Ryan joked.

That evening, Ryan asked Bill to stay over to keep Mark company, so that he
and Kyle could have some private time.  Bill was eager to spend some more
time with Mark anyway and agreed.

Once Ryan and Kyle were alone, they enjoyed exploring each other's bodies
and locating their respective erogenous zones.  Ryan introduced Kyle to
long and gentle kissing which gradually became more and more passionate
love making.

"Kyle, you say you love me with all your heart, but you worry about what
others will think.  Only one thing is really important.  You have to ask
yourself if you love having sex with me or if you love the person that I
am.  I can tell you, that the more I get to know you, the more deeply I
love you and I will not deny that love to anyone."  Ryan said as he moved
his fingers gingerly around Kyle's nipples.

"Can't I love both?" Kyle asked, "I definitely love the person you are, but
I cannot deny having sex is also grea t.  Ry I never want to lose you or be
separated from you again, but all this is so new to me.  All my life I have
been hiding my sexuality even from myself, I am not so sure of myself to be
able to admit it to the whole world just yet."

"That's fine by me, but what if Mark decides he wants us both at his school
benefit?  What will you say to our son?"  Ryan asked.  "You see part of his
dilemma is that he doesn't want to be ashamed of living with a gay couple,
but how can he not be ashamed if we are ashamed of ourselves?  I don't want
to pressure you.  But I do think you need to think about this one."

Ryan, if Mark wants me at his benefit, I will be there.  I don't know how I
will feel if he asks me to stay home ... relieved or disappointed ... but
if you or Mark or even Bill needs something from me, I want to be there for
your guys.  I love you all."  Kyle confessed.  "Please kiss me some more."

Ryan -asked Kyle if he felt like trying something new, and when he agreed,
reached into a drawer of his dresser and extracted a cock ring. Once he got
it on Kyle's cock it made his penis even more erect and it remained proudly
rampant even when untouched.  Kyle soon found that when Ryan touched his
dick, the sensations were so much more intense.  As Kyle neared the edge,
Ryan would pull away from him or slap his cock.  Little by little Kyle was
learning how to hold back so as to prolong the sexual foreplay.

Kyle loved the feel of Ryan's genitals; his testicles hung down so nicely
and allowed him to cup them in his hand or to take them in his mouth.  His
own balls tended to ride higher and it was much more difficult to
manipulate them without hurting.  Noticing Kyle's discomfort, Ryan went to
the bathroom and let the water run for awhile, soaking a cloth in the hot
water; wringing it out slightly, he returned and placed the cloth around
Kyle's genitals and sure enough Kyle's balls loosened so that Ryan could
play with them and Kyle could relax better since it was less painful.  The
feeling of the wet towel was also quite sensual in itself.  Finally, Ryan
pushed Kyle over the edge and pumped his cock hard with his fist.  Ryan
caught his cum in the towel and just kept pumping Kyle's meat until he
began to protest.

"Ryan, let me breathe.  God that was good."  Kyle said loudly.  Ryan then
moved on top of his manboy and gyrating his hips as he pressed his cock
into Kyle's genitals and kissed him in a vacuum packed lip lock.  Suddenly
Kyle could feel Ryan's warm jizz wetting him as Ryan spasmed on top of him.
After a while, Ryan rolled off him and then used the damp cloth towel to
clean both of them.

Suddenly there was a loud banging on their cabin door and it was thrown
open by Bill and Mark: "You two have had long enough alone.  We want to
sleep here with you."  the two younger men said impishly as they climbed
into the king size captain's bed.  Ryan was between Mark and Kyle and Bill
spooned Kyle.  The smell of Mark's recently showered hair penetrated Ryan's
nostrils as he embraced the boy and felt again the pangs of fatherly love.

"God this bed feels a bit damp; has one of you had an accident and wet the
bed?"  Mark enquired humorously, causing both Ryan and Kyle to stiffen in
more ways than one and blush like traffic beacons.  Bill and Mark both
snickered at the apparent discomfiture of their friends and snuggled up to
them and they all eased off to sleep.
