I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who emailed me and I apologize for
taking so long to update. After school let out, I went on vacation and when
I got home, I didn't really write much. It was a combination of not feeling
well and not having any inspiration. Currently, whatever I do write, I feel
as if it's a whole bunch of crap and then I get discouraged, and then I
stop writing for periods at a time. It's a crappy cycle. I hope you guys
like this chapter and where it's going. And I'll honestly try to post more
frequently, if I can manage to crank out anything substantial. Peace.




Jumping over my Mountain, Chapter 17



***Zeke's point of view***


I groaned as I came hard and at the same time I felt the warm gush of
Skyler's own release in my mouth.

Skyler pulled himself out of my mouth and spun around and kissed me, mixing
our respective cums.

I was out of breath and so was Skyler so out kiss didn't last very long. He
collapsed beside me and I curled my body towards him, resting on my side
and I slid my leg over his.

I felt Skyler's hand move along my back gently, while his other hand
caressed my thigh and ass.

I sighed. Skyler sighed heavily and I curiously looked up at him.

"What's up babe?" I asked.

Skyler sighed again and looked at me. "I don't want you to leave," he said
quietly avoiding my eyes and I felt stomach flutter with sadness about the
topic of my leaving and happiness that Skyler was going to miss me even
though I knew for sure that he would.

"I don't want to leave either," I said kissing his chest.

Skyler shifted so he was lying on his side facing me and looking me in the
eyes.

"I know, but I've just had such a great time spending literally every day
together. Hanging out together, working together, living together, it's
great and now it's gonna be shit having four months of limited contact,"
Skyler said grumpily, "I really hate school."

"Me, too Sky, I wish school were over already so we can be in the same
state always," I sympathized.

"I know, it's only one more year and we can see each other for breaks and
stuff, but it's not the same," Skyler continued, "It's like we're so close
but then so far and in between we have to keep saying goodbye. I know I'm
being such a fucking girl about it, but it does suck. Saying goodbye all
the time even though we're not that far," he said peering at me.

I kissed his nose and I ran my fingertip gently over his eyelashes and he
smiled.

"I know, it's like the waiting is getting to us since we know we only have
about eight to nine months before we graduate and have our life together,"
I said dreamily, "I can't wait."

"Me neither Zeke," Skyler said rubbing my head with his hand. "Everything
is just perfect, like right now for instance. What happens when the
semester starts and I'm lying in bed and I'm wishing you were here and
you're not."

Skyler looked at me a second later, "Yeah I'm not making much sense, but
bottom line, I'm going to miss you."

"I love you Skyler," I said kissing him, "We made it this far, we can keep
going," I said confidently.

Skyler grinned, "I know."

We lay in bed silently, staring at the ceiling and rubbing each other's
back.

"Hey, we have to get ready to go over to my house soon," Skyler said
glancing at the alarm clock on his nightstand.

Crew and the twins had agreed to have one giant sleepover party at the
twin's Mom's house because their Mom would be visiting her sister and their
house was big enough to accommodate everyone.

I knew Crew was trying to squeeze in something fun and something we could
do as a group before school started. I had a week left and I was happy to
be with my friends, but I guess I was feeling melancholy and just wanted to
spend all my time with Skyler but Crew said I couldn't be one of those guys
that ditched his friends to be with his boyfriend.

Storm had backed out at the last minute because he had a date. It turns out
he met up with the same group of girls at the beach and convinced them he
was straight. It was funny when he told the story, but the Storm man scored
a date. It was cool with me though, with just Crew, Hiro, Sky, and
myself. We would most likely split up into couples anyway.

"Alright," I said standing up and we began to pack our bags. We were both
in quiet moods so we didn't talk much. We were just together in comfortable
silence.

When we got to Sky's house, Crew and Hiro were standing outside his door,
each with a book bag.

Crew was laughing and smiling as Hiro had his hand around Crew's neck, a
particularly sensitive and ticklish spot.

"Hiro, stop," Crew whined twisting away, but he didn't get very far before
Hiro caught hold of him and trapped him in a one armed hug and assaulted
his neck with his fingers again. "Hiro!"

I watched the two of them interact; Crew was laughing like crazy and I had
never seen Hiro smile so widely before. I had seen Hiro smile before but it
was usually faint and out of amusement or politeness, but when he was with
Crew, he smiled a lot and he looked genuinely happy.

I couldn't help being jealous of the two of them since they would always be
around one another. Even if they didn't have classes together, they could
literally see one another whenever they wanted. Not like me and Skyler.

"Hey guys," Crew said smiling once he took notice of us
approaching. "Hiro!" he squealed again and Hiro just smiled and kissed
Crew's head.

"Hey," Skyler greeted and he unlocked the door and let everyone inside.

"Are you ok?" Crew asked frowning as he looked back and forth between me
and Skyler.

I looked at Crew. "Yeah, we're fine," I said honestly although I'm sure my
face looked kind of bummed.

"Okay," Crew said slowly. "So what do you feel like doing?"

Skyler stepped behind me and wrapped his arms around my chest. "I don't
know," he said. "Something fun."

Hiro smiled, "Well that was vague."

Skyler smirked, "Well, I don't have any specific ideas. We can just do what
we always do and just shoot the shit I guess."

"Okay, but let's get something to eat, I'm hungry," Crew piped in.

"Ooh, food, yeah that sounds great," Skyler said and I could hear the new
cheerful tone in his voice. Yeah food made everything all better for
Skyler.

"Okay, but I'm not cooking. I'm a guest," Crew said looking at Skyler with
amusement. "You're husband over there can cook for you," he said nodding at
me.

Skyler's lip curled teasingly. "Jeez man, what kind of friend are you?"
then he rolled his eyes, "Nah we can always order something. We're guys,
that's what we're supposed to do," he started heading towards the cordless
phone on the counter top. "Papa John's pizza ok?" he asked glancing at us
as he was already dialing. Without waiting for an answer he began talking
when someone picked up on the other line. "Hey, can we have five large
pies, all with extra cheese, and make one with olives and peppers, oh and
three garlic breadsticks, and one of those pie desserts you guys make. Uh
sure, that one, sounds good, yeah. Yeah I want it delivered."

I smiled as I watched him order the food. My baby could sure eat.

"Hey, where's Storm?" Crew asked when Skyler hung up the phone.

Skyler frowned as if trying to remember and then smiled, "Oh yeah, he had a
date and bailed on us last minute."

"A date with who? Where does he meet all these girls?" Crew asked
curiously.

"From the beach. It turns out he did get some of their numbers," Skyler
replied smiling.

Crew grinned, "Really, so we didn't scare all the ladies away?"

Skyler sighed dramatically, "No, perhaps next time we should have sex in
front of them and really run them off."

"What, I'd bet the girls would stay to watch!" I exclaimed and everyone
laughed.

"Well, maybe," Hiro speculated, "I mean straight guys think two girls
together are hot, so maybe straight women think two guys together are hot?"

I pointed at Hiro, "Excellent point my friend."

Everyone fell silent again. It wasn't an awkward silence since we were all
friends, but it didn't feel right. We were supposed to be loud and crazy
together.

"Why is everyone so quiet?" I demanded, "That's just not right, well, maybe
except for Hiro, well, you know, because you're always quiet," I said
looking at him.

Hiro simply nodded in agreement and I smiled.

Crew shrugged, "I dunno. Just a little bored and I'm trying not to think
about going back to school."

I frowned. Damn school.

"Yeah, school is bumming me out too," Skyler added, "As in I don't want it
to start or I do want it to start so it can be over and done with."

I looked at him and we shared a look. I know why he wanted school to be
over so quickly; I shared the same thinking.

"Well we're all bummed about school starting, so the best thing to do is
just do something to take our minds off of it, so we have to do something,
besides eat all night," Hiro said shooting at look at Skyler.

Skyler pretended to look offended.

"What did you have in mind?" I asked Hiro.

Hiro became silent and slightly thoughtful looking when I asked that.

How come there was never anything to do?

Well that wasn't entirely true. There were things to be done, like hanging
in NY or going clubbing, but I wasn't feeling either of those activities.

"Wanna go paintballing?" Hiro asked.

Skyler looked mildly interested.

"Don't we need more people than just the four of us?" Crew asked frowning.

"What about Hela and Bryce?" Skyler asked.

I shook my head. "It's a Thursday night. They're still at work and even if
they finished work, they probably wouldn't want to go out. You know, old
people," I finished and Crew snorted.

"Okay we can save that activity for some other time then" Hiro reasoned,
"then how about the beach?"

"Uh Hiro, it's kinda raining and misting outside," Skyler pointed out.

"So?" Hiro asked, "The beach is beautiful when it's a little wet and misty
and that just means less people will be around."

"I'm in," Crew said sitting on Hiro's lap to which Hiro smiled and kissed
Crew lightly.

"Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad," I mused and then I turned my eyes to
Skyler, "Hey and that means we can cross having sex on the beach at night
off of our list," I teased.

Skyler grinned, "Yeah, I like the sound of that," he drawled out walking
over to me. "It sounds like it would be hot."

"But you have to be quiet," I reminded.

"Well you have to be quiet too; you know how loud you get when-"

Skyler was cut off by Crew.

"Ok, enough of the sex talk, please."

Skyler wiggled his eyebrows at Crew. "You probably know the end of that
statement though? I mean, after all you and Zeke were pretty close back in
the day."

Crew and I both blushed and I saw Hiro looking at the both of us.

"How close?" he asked.

I saw Hiro eyeing me differently and I took a step closer to Skyler as Hiro
turned his evil eye glare on me. Well not really, but when he looked at you
so calmly and blankly, it could be a little scary, not knowing what was
going on inside that head of his.

"Best friends, fooled around, but it meant nothing, I love you," Crew said
all at once, kissing Hiro.

Hiro seemed appeased when Crew broke away and I was a little relieved. Hiro
was looking at me like he wanted to beat me over with a bat.

Apparently Skyler noticed that as well, "Yeah man, when I found that out I
was like, hmm, them two together, but then I thought, how hot that must
have been," he said looking back and forth between me and Crew.

"Stop it!" Crew and I cried out together, blushing.

Even Hiro was smiling, "Yeah, I guess I could see what you mean. I mean,
they do look kinda alike, so it's like having two Crew's having sex and I
like the sound of that."

I stared at Hiro in amazement. That was such an unlikely comment coming
from him. It sounded like something Skyler would say.

"Or it's like two Zeke's having sex and that's making my pants tight right
now," Skyler said and I groaned.

"Ok, no more of this, please?" Crew asked his face as red as mine.

"Look, they even blush the same!" Skyler teased.

"Oh yeah, well what if Zeke and I were teasing about you and Storm
together?" Crew said suddenly.

Skyler's face took on a look of disgust, "EWWW!!! That's just sick, he's my
freaking brother!"

I laughed out loud at his reaction. His reactions were hilarious.

"What a way to make someone lose their boner," Skyler added.

Crew laughed. "Well there, that's how it is for us. I mean we were young
when we messed around and we weren't thinking, but now it feels weird,
looking back, because we're as tight as brothers."

I looked at him and smiled. Yeah, we were as tight as brothers.

"Fine, fine, fair enough, no more sex jokes," Skyler grumbled, "Well, until
later that is," he said grinning again.

"So the beach then?" Hiro said bringing us back to our previous topic.

"Sure, but we have to wait for the food first. It should be here soon,"
Skyler said.

When we food came we inhaled it pretty quickly and then hopped into
Skyler's car to head to the beach.

At least at this hour there was no traffic or competition for parking. We
pulled right in front of the boardwalk and even though it was misting and
drizzling, the weather was still humid and felt nice on our skin.

Hiro and Crew started walking along the boardwalk, just talking quietly
amongst themselves.

Skyler and I walked to the Seven Eleven and got large slurpees and then
walked on the beach, near the shoreline where the sand was firm and wet. It
was dark out here and we were away from people so we held hands and drank
our drinks.

We were both quiet, lost in our own thoughts and melancholy moods of being
separated too soon, so we just walked along, hand in hand.

***

Hiro and Crew ended up walking along the beach as well and were sitting on
some rocks further out.

They were silent also, wrapped up in one another's bodies, just looking out
at the water crashing up around them.

Skyler and I passed them and I waved, but I didn't think they noticed. We
ended up staying at the beach for awhile, doing a whole lot of nothing.

But it seems the quietness of our group had been left at the beach because
on the way home we were more rowdy.

For one thing the grounds had dried up and Skyler was racing with some kids
on the highway. It was fun, even if little bit scary when Skyler weaved in
and out between cars, cutting it close this one time when he was straddling
a lane between switching altogether and we got ridiculously close to this
SUV.

We were laughing and even the guys in the other cars that we were racing
were laughing and gesturing out their windows.

I really loved the summer time. Everyone was just in more of a good mood
than normal and it showed.

When we got back to Skyler's house, Hiro and Crew retreated into one of the
guest bedrooms, and Skyler and I rinsed off quickly in the showers to get
some of the salty smell off our bodies.

It was pretty early still, around 11pm, and Skyler and I were in his room,
lying in bed when I heard a sound.

I lay still trying to listen but it was hard with Crew's giggles coming
from down the hall.

"Did you hear that?" I asked Skyler.

"Hear what?"

A loud crash sounded downstairs and Skyler sat up curiously.

"Mom is out of town," he mumbled as he stood up.

I saw Skyler grab his light saber and turned it on. The red glow lit up his
room and even though we didn't know who was in the house, it was still
funny watching Skyler holding his toy light saber as a weapon as he walked
out of his room and into the hallway.

I followed behind him and we walked quietly down the stair case and entered
the dark kitchen.

I saw a shadow come from the corner and Skyler shot out his arm and his
saber connected with the intruder with that saber sound from the movie
following the contact.

"Dude, what the fuck!"

"Storm!" Skyler asked.

"Who else would it be?" Storm asked standing back up and I switched on the
light.

Skyler started cracking up and I soon joined in as did Storm when he saw
the light saber.

"Nice weapon bro, really hurt me," Storm said smiling, "You know when you
hit me with that my limbs won't slice off like in the movie?"

Skyler rolled his eyes, "Yeah, but I figured it would surprise the attacker
and hey, at least it would give me a good laugh. It's always important to
get a good laugh, especially if you're about to get mugged, beat, or
robbed," he said all this with a straight expression but I knew Skyler
could never maintain a serious look unless he was upset or something. Sure
enough his face split into a large smile and Storm just grinned and shook
his head.

"I thought you had a date?" I asked Storm.

Storm shrugged, "I did, but it had to end early. We ran into her ex and she
got wasted after that, so I took her home and left."

"She got wasted? That blows man!" Skyler said, "So I'm guessing you didn't
get any?"

I snorted as Storm smiled.

"Well," Storm said grinning, "Funny thing was that I ran into Kate as I was
stopping for a drink. She was visiting her sister in law and we got
together and-" he trailed off, the meaning of his sentence known.

"Nice," Skyler congratulated grinning at his twin.

I rolled my eyes. Skyler was such a guy.

Just then Hiro and Crew walked down the stairs at our loud laughter.

Crew eyed the saber in Skyler's hand and started to crack up.

Skyler shot him a dirty look, "Dude, it was all I had."

"I think you might have been better off without the toy," Hiro said in
amusement.

Skyler looked offended, "Hey! It was better than nothing, and you weren't
here. And besides, it looked damned cool glowing in the dark."

This only made Crew laugh that much harder and Skyler looked half offended
and half amused.

His amused side won out. "Yeah, I guess it was pretty lame," he admitted
and he hugged the saber to his chest, "but I love my saber."

I grinned at his childish moment.

"So what have you guys been up to?" Storm asked glancing at all of us.

Crew shrugged, "Not much. We went to the beach to just hang out. Mostly
it's been a quiet night for all of us."

Storm eyed all of us wearily, "Um it's gonna stay quiet right? I'm not
gonna have to leave when you guys, um, you know, start getting, uh."

"What's that Storm?" Skyler asked in a teasing tone.

Storm's face was turning pink.

"When we get it on!" Crew cried out hopping up and down.

I smiled at him and then looked at Storm, who turned even redder.

"Yeah, what he said," Storm muttered.

Skyler smiled at his brother, "No worries there bro, I think we'll just
watch some movies and stuff," he said glancing at me and I nodded.

"Cool."


***Crew's Point of View***


I watched as Skyler and Zeke shot each other googly eyes at one another
across the table from Hiro and me.

Zeke was leaving tomorrow and we were having lunch together at a Chinese
restaurant on campus and drinking bubble teas.

"Hey Zeke, open up and eat my balls," Skyler cracked up as he lifted the
straw from the lid and blew the tapioca balls into Zeke's wide open mouth.

The black balls were fat and got stuck in his straw so Skyler blew harder
and I saw two black blobs fly into Zeke's mouth.

Zeke closed his mouth when they were inside and started coughing.

"Dude, are you ok?" I asked and Zeke was laughing and smiling.

"Yea, I almost choked there, but I'm good now," Zeke answered and he turned
to Skyler, "Mmm, your balls tasted gooood," he leered.

Skyler cracked up, "Well, fucking, duh!"

Some students nearby heard the exchange and shot us weird looks.

"Hey Hiro, don't you want to taste Crew's balls?" Skyler asked.

Hiro smiled and touched my arm briefly, "I'd love to taste his balls, but
I'd rather do it later, when we're alone," he said glancing at me.

I blushed furiously as Zeke and Skyler laughed at me.

"Tell me Hiro, do his balls taste good?" Skyler pressed and I felt my face
burning further.

"Everything about Crew tastes great," Hiro said and I was shocked at his
forwardness to joke around with our sex life, but I didn't mind since it
was only Zeke and Skyler.

I'm positive my face was as red as a tomato, and Skyler laughed while Zeke
smirked at me.

"Wow, I am really enjoying this conversation," Skyler said leaning forward,
"Hiro, tell me more," he said wiggling his eyebrows.

Hiro smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, no more. That's all I'll say."

Skyler groaned, "Agh, just when you were appearing cool in my eyes."

We were about finished with our food and drinks so I stood up and everyone
else followed.

We walked outside and I shaded my eyes as the sunlight hit me.

I turned to Zeke and hugged him.

"Bye Zeke, call me or something when you get back ok?"

Zeke hugged me back tightly, "Of course."

"Later Hiro," he said nodding at Hiro and Hiro smiled back, waving a hand.

Zeke followed Skyler in the direction of his apartment and Skyler waved
back wildly before taking Zeke's hand and tugging him along.

I walked with Hiro to my car and drove back to my house.

As we walked through the door I spun around and Hiro grabbed a hold of my
waist in surprise with my abrupt movement.

Hiro fell back against the door and shut it and I grabbed onto his
shoulders and jumped onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist, with his
hands cupping my ass.

"Hi," I said smiling as I kissed him.

"Mm," he murmured tightening his grip around my waist and hoisting me
higher in his arms.

He walked towards my bedroom kissing my nose, cheeks, eyes, and lips
continuously.

I tilted my head and kissed his neck, sucking gently.

Hiro moaned and I felt his arms buckle slightly as we came closer to my
bed.

I licked his throat and bit on his collarbone.

"Crew," Hiro moaned out as he placed me on the bed and stretched out on top
of me.

I grabbed his shoulders and rolled us both until I was on top.

I was lying between his legs and I continued to kiss his neck, rubbing my
hands underneath his shirt.

Hiro was writhing beneath me and sighing as his hands massaged my ass,
kneading it.

I felt his hard cock pushing against mine through our respective jeans.

"Crew, you're killing me," Hiro groaned finding my lips with his and
sucking on mine.

I pulled back briefly, "I love you," I murmured before kissing him again,
sticking my tongue into his warm, wet mouth.

We kissed one another deeply, our mouths constantly opening wider, our
heads turning, tongues dueling.

I rocked on him and Hiro grabbed my hips pulling me off of him. He had his
eyes squeezed shut and he was panting. "Crew, with you moving like that
over me, I'm gonna cum too soon, baby."

The phone rang suddenly and I reflexively moved up to go answer it.

"No," Hiro said reaching for me and hugging me tightly to his chest.

"The phone," I said but didn't finish as Hiro attacked my lips with his,
pulling me backwards onto him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back, undoing the button of
his jeans. Hiro didn't wear belts too often so it was easier to undress
him. I unzipped him.

Then I heard the machine click and then Zeke's voice drifting in.

"Yo, Crew, I left a pair of sneakers at your house. I don't know how I left
it there but somehow I did. Anyway, I'm gonna stop by and pick it up
later. I would do it now, but since you're not answering the phone I assume
you're doing something naughty with Hiro, so-"

"And we're about to do something nasty, too, so Zeke will call back
later. Happy humping!" Skyler's voice broke in and then I heard a loud
click.

Hiro and I started laughing before Hiro flipped me onto my back and started
taking off my belt.

I pulled off my shirt and reached for his. He took over the task and soon
he was shirtless also.

My pants and boxers were pulled off and thrown onto the floor as he
shrugged off his jeans.

He kissed my stomach gently and I arched my back as a tingle was sent to my
cock. He ventured up to my nipples and while he sucked on one he gently
rolled the other with his fingers.

My fingers clawed the sheets as he sucked and stimulated my nipples and I
could feel even more blood rush to my cock.

The pre cum was starting to flow and I could feel the wetness seeping onto
my abdomen.

I whimpered, "Hiro."

"I know baby, I know," he whispered reaching into my dresser drawer and
pulled out lube and a condom.

I watched through glazed eyes as Hiro rolled a condom onto himself and
applied lots of lube onto himself.

He spread my legs and I took a deep breath to relax myself and pushed out
as he slid one lube covered finger in slowly, going directly for my
prostate.

I bit my lip and let out a muffled cry as the overwhelming sensations hit
me.

"Beautiful," Hiro murmured as he gently slid another finger in.

"Hurry," I moaned, shaking on the bed.

Hiro smiled, "Be patient baby. The slower the better, I don't want to hurt
you."

"I don't care," I panted, my entire body aching with need.

"But I care angel," he whispered sliding in a third finger.

I cried out as he slowly began to make love to me with his three fingers,
widening my hole in the process.

I grabbed his neck and pulled his face down to mine and kissed him
furiously, sucking on his tongue.

As soon as Hiro pulled his fingers from my hole I felt the wet tip of his
cock replace those fingers immediately and with a slight resistance his
head popped in.

I felt myself being stretched and filled as Hiro slid more of himself into
me. At the same time his hand wrapped tightly around my hard on and he
stroked me slowly, not enough to get me off, but enough to make me crazy
with the multiple sensations.

"Fuck, Hiro, why are you so good at this," I mumbled my eyes rolling back
as his thumb circled the head of my cock.

Hiro chuckled and I felt his balls hit my ass slightly as he was all the
way in me.

"Because of you Crew, because I love you and I want to make you feel good,"
he answered softly as he continued to gently caress my cock with his hand
while he let me adjust to his girth.

"I'm ready," I said licking my lips with desire and Hiro eased himself out
of me and pushed back in.

He would take an inch out at a time and gradually his thrusts became longer
and deeper as he took himself completely out and shoved back in to the
hilt, causing me to cry out.

Hiro thrust at a different angle each time and once he found my prostate he
aimed continuously at that spot. He began to thrust faster and he gripped
my hips, pulling me into his thrusts.

I pushed my face into my pillow, my eyes closed, biting my lips.

"I'm close," I whispered to Hiro and Hiro seemed to hit my prostate even
harder, purposely digging into me.

My mouth was wide open as I tried to gasp for air and I felt my eyes
rolling beneath my eyelids.

This just felt amazing.

I arched my back with pleasure, anticipating my release as I felt my balls
tighten and my body tensed.

I cried out as I came, shooting onto Hiro's chest. I clawed at my blankets,
gripping them tightly in my fists and pulling on them as I shot. I wrapped
my legs around Hiro's waist, needing to do something with them and pumped
him as I came, feeling him explode inside of me.

He shouted and leaned over me, his arms by my head. I felt the heat coming
off his body, and then he collapsed on top of me, my cum slapping me on my
chest.

He was breathing hard, his breath hot on my cheek as he inhaled deeply.

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you," he rambled softly in my
ear as he kissed behind my ear and bit gently on my earlobe.

"Mm, I'm sleepy," I murmured and Hiro chuckled, "I love you, too Hiro."

I could feel Hiro smile against my ear and he eased his flaccid penis out
of me slowly. My eyes were closed but I could hear him walk into the
bathroom and then the water running.

He returned moments later and I felt a warm wet cloth on my chest as he
wiped me clean.

Then the bed dipped as he slid into bed beside me and wrapped his arms
around me, kissing my head.

"Sleep baby, sleep," Hiro whispered into my ear and he ran his fingers
lightly over my forehead and my cheek.

"I love you, I love you so much."

He cooed endearments into my ear and his professions of love were the last
words I heard before I fell asleep.


BACK TO SCHOOL


***Zeke's Point of View***


"Dude, why are you moping so much?" Davy, my roommate asked me as he caught
sight of me lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Huh?" I shook my head.

Davy looked at me strangely.

I guess I was feeling a little off. I was back at school and it had only
been like three days, but I was feeling so bummed.

I missed Skyler already. I wanted to be with him now even if we weren't
doing anything. I wanted to just lie beside him in bed, feeling his firm
body and warmth against me. I just wanted to stare into his beautiful, dark
eyes that always smiled at me. I just wanted him.

"I'm ok," I said sighing loudly.

Davy shook his head, "You're a shitty liar, man. Didn't you have a good
summer or something?"

I nodded, "Too good and I'm missing it."

Davy nodded knowingly, "Missing your man, eh?"

Davy knew all about Skyler. We had been roommates since freshman year and
clicked immediately. I wasn't sure if I wanted to come out to him at first,
but I was already dating Xavier and besides it was too stressful pretending
to be straight so I just got it off my chest.

Luckily Davy was pretty cool about it and even pointed out cute guys to me
on campus.

I figured he was straight but I was thinking lately he might have some
bisexual tendencies. I mean, the guy had way too much fun pointing out good
looking guys. They couldn't all be for my benefit, now could they?

"I'm glad you're gay Zeke. It cuts off the competition, the ladies would be
all over your blond ass and cherry lips," he had told me when I came out to
him.

I looked at him, "Davy, you trying to tell me something?"

He smirked, "You wish blondie."

I smiled at the memory. After that Davy and I were mad tight and lived
together in the dorms from then on.

I sighed heavily, "Yeah, yeah I miss Skyler," I said my thoughts going back
to him.

"Well stop being so sad! It's bringing me down man," Davy exclaimed and I
smiled weakly at him.

"Sorry."

Davy rolled his eyes and got up, "Come on, let's go out and do something."

"I don't feel like it," I mumbled.

Davy sighed, "Come on Z! We have to do something before the workload gets
heavier and no one has time. Come on, I'm getting together with some
friends and we're just gonna chill, relax."

"I can chill in my bed," I grumbled.

"No way," Davy said firmly gripping my arm and yanking me to my feet which
wasn't hard for him. He was 6'3 and was the star of his basketball team in
high school.

We walked out of the dorms and towards some apartment off campus.

He knocked on the door of one of the apartments and, Zen opened the door.

Zen was known for having pot smoking gatherings at his place and he was
always out of it. His eyes were constantly glazed over and he had a small
smile painted on his lips. But he was a friendly enough guy, with sandy
brown dreadlocks, hazy brown eyes and rosy cheeks.

"Z-man, Davy boy!" he called out as he welcomed us in with hugs.

I smiled as walked inside, being hit with the smell of pot and I noticed
some other guys I knew from classes and other dorms; Gary, Ray, Jackson,
and Pete. There was also another guy I didn't recognize. Jackson and Pete
were sitting on the couch playing video games while Gary and Ray and the
unknown guy were sprawled out on the ground eating pizza at a ridiculously
fast rate.

"Yeah, the party has already begun," Davy exclaimed hopping over to the
table where some doobies were rolled up.

He lit one up and inhaled, smiling broadly.

I chuckled and shook my head, taking the hit Davy offered me.

"Hey man, I'm Zeke," I said to the new guy.

He smiled at me and held out his hand, "Callum."

"Nice to meet you Callum."

I didn't know if the pot was getting to me so soon or what but I could have
sworn Callum was eyeing me intently and smiling.

He was cute, a little on the thin side, pink thin lips, fair skin, pale
eyes, and light brown hair. Attractive but he was no exotic Asian man like
my Skyler was.

"How do you know Zen?" I asked Callum.

"Cousin. I'm just visiting for the day," he explained taking another hit.

"Oh yeah, where do you go to?" I asked.

"NYU."

"Oh, good school," I answered.

"It's alright," Callum shrugged indifferently.

"What are you studying?" I asked.

"Film studies," Callum replied.

My eyebrows shot up, "Really? That sounds pretty cool."

"It's not bad. What are you studying?"

"Economics," I answered inhaling and holding in the smoke before blowing it
out.

"Economist? Wanna work on Wall Street?"

I laughed, "Hardly, it's just that I picked economics because it was
interesting and I had a knack for it. Shit if I know what I'm going to do
after graduation."

Callum laughed heartily, "I like your attitude."

"Come on boys, I'm fucking hungry. Let's get some food," Zen drawled out
lazily and we all laughed even though there was nothing funny to laugh
about. This is what happens when you're high. You laugh at nothing.

We drove to a Taco Bell and ate a lot of tacos. I never knew how much I
loved tacos until that very moment.

Zen was picking the cheese off his taco and studying it intently.

Gary was poking at the beef in a daze.

Davy looked at Zen looking at his taco and burst out laughing. It wasn't
long before Gary, Ray, and I laughed, and then Callum.

What a ridiculous day.

***


Apparently Callum visited his cousin often since Boston was the closest to
New York and he was originally from California. He didn't have any other
family to visit and if my cousin were as cool as Zen was, I'd be visiting
every weekend too.

Callum was fun to hang out with, easy going, intelligent, and always had
something to say.

About three weeks into September, I ran into Callum at a nearby food place
on a bright Friday afternoon.

"Hey man, what's up?" I greeted.

Callum smiled. "Not much. Do you know where Zen is by any chance?" he asked
me, "I knocked on his apartment but no one answered and I tried calling
him."

I shrugged, "Beats me. I haven't been going over to Zen's as often as I did
my first two years here, so I'm not really aware of his schedule. Sorry."

Callum smiled, his pale blue green tinged eyes sparkling. "That's ok."

"Do you need somewhere to go?" I asked, "I'm done for the day so you can
chill in my dorm until you can get a hold of him. Davy might be around and
maybe we can all eat or catch a movie or something."

He nodded, "Sure, that sounds great."

Together we walked over to my dorm building and I walked inside. As I was
about to round the corner, I heard a familiar laugh or a mixture of a
cackle, laugh, with some snorting and choking in between. Only one person
in the entire world had that kind of laugh.

My heart jumped and I whipped around the corner.

At my sudden movement the two guys standing by my dorm room door turned in
my direction and my face split into a huge grin.

I saw Storm and Skyler standing there, laughing and talking.

The only problem was that I couldn't tell which one was Skyler.

Now that they both had short hair, which was now covered by baseball caps,
one red, the other powder blue, it was hard to tell them apart. Even their
clothes were kind of matching; dark slim fitted jeans, white sneakers, and
long sleeve shirts, one black, the other one brown with a tan print on it.

I started to walk over to them but hesitated, not sure if I wanted to kiss
Storm by accident.

Both of them smiled at my hesitation, and the twin with the brown and tan
shirt started to walk over, but the other twin pushed him back forcefully.

That meant the one wearing the black snug fitted shirt was Skyler. He
smiled and pointed at himself raising his eyebrows at me.

I grinned and walked over to him, where he enveloped me tightly in his arms
and kissed me briefly before pulling back.

"You need to learn how to tell us apart babe," Skyler teased.

I rolled my eyes, "It's hard! Why do you guys have to look so much alike?"
I complained.

Storm chuckled, "Well, we have to because we're identical, otherwise, we'd
be fraternal," he said as if stating the obvious which I guess he kind of
was.

I smiled. "What are you guys doing here? And how did you know where to find
me?"

"Well I know you went here but I got your rooming assignment from your
Mom. She cooked us a great lunch though," Skyler said patting his flat
stomach.

"Did you ditch class?" I wondered.

Storm replied before his brother could, "Nah, we had early morning classes
and it was just a short lecture and quiz, so we decided to take a little
road trip," he glanced at Skyler, "Although I really think Skyler asked me
to come along because he needed a ride."

"What happened to your car?" I asked frowning at Skyler.

Skyler shrugged, "I got in a little accident."

"What?"

Storm laughed, "It was nothing major. He was driving behind me and HIT me."

I couldn't help it and burst out laughing at Skyler's sheepish expression.

"How did you end up hitting Storm?"

"I got distracted," Skyler said, "There were these punks driving next to me
in some shitty car and they were all trying to race and everything. Anyway,
I was trying to switch lanes but those idiots blocked me and then a car
pulled into my lane and I couldn't stop in time."

"And that was Storm," I finished. Skyler nodded.

"Luckily there was no damage to my car, but Skyler pretty much smashed the
front of his."

"My baby," Skyler said clutching his heart as I imagined he was visualizing
his black Infiniti G35.

"Anyway," Skyler said snapping out of his thoughts, "Is your roommate
around?"

"I don't think so because if he was he would normally leave the door open
to greet people. Why, you want to meet him?" I asked.

Skyler grinned devilishly, "Nope."

I started blushing, knowing what he wanted to do since my roommate wasn't
around.

"Hey, I'm Storm."

I turned around to Storm's voice and saw him holding out his hand to Callum
who was slightly behind me.

Seeing Skyler and catching up, I had completely forgotten about Callum.

What an ass friend I am.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Callum. Callum this is Storm and this is Skyler," I
introduced grabbing Skyler's arm as he smiled at me.

"Hey," Storm said.

"Sup," Skyler offered.

Callum looked slightly shocked and stunned at me and Skyler. I guess it was
a normal reaction since he didn't know I was gay, but hey, I don't meet new
people and go, "hey, I'm Zeke and I'm gay" because it's not like being gay
defines who I am.

I couldn't tell if Callum was bothered by this or not, but I had been
getting vibes from him so I'm guessing he shouldn't care too much.

"It was nice meeting you Callum. We should have dinner later and hang out,
but until then, I'm gonna steal Zeke away for a little bit," Skyler
interrupted as he tugged me towards my door. I fished my key out of my
pocket and stuck it into the keyhole, turning it.

Skyler turned to Storm, "Storm, be cool and find something to do for a few
hours."

"A few hours?" Storm groaned.

"Come on, be a good brother, I'd do it for you," Skyler said.

Storm nodded, "Well, that's true," he admitted. He turned to Callum and
smiled warmly, "Hey wanna show me around here and see if I can find
something to occupy myself since my own flesh and blood has decided to
abandon me."

Skyler rolled his eyes, "Dude, we shared the same womb, the same house, and
the same apartment for 21 years. I think you can do without me for a few
hours. Jesus, cut the umbilical cord already," he said snapping the air
with his two fingers as if they were scissors.

Storm laughed at his brother's choice of words and nodded. "Fine, I'll call
you later," and he turned back to Callum. "Any good food places here?"

Callum smiled and nodded and started to lead Storm away. He nodded to me
and I was slightly relieved that he didn't make a big deal out of anything,
since I sort of just came out on him.

I waved and then gave a little cry as Skyler shoved my door open and pushed
me inside.

Skyler easily could tell which bed was mine since my side of the room had
some pictures of Crew and my family, and a soccer ball lying around.

He pushed me onto my bed and then flopped on top of me, smiling.

"I'm so glad you came," I murmured as I wrapped my hands around his face
and pushed off his baseball cap.

"Mm, me too, I missed you," he said leaning down to kiss me gently as my
fingers tangled through his hair. I inhaled his coconut scented shampoo and
sighed. "Hey, do you and your roommate have any special signal to let the
other know that one of you is getting some and should stay away?" he asked
once we pulled apart.

I laughed, "Um no, not really."

Skyler shrugged and leaned back down to kiss me, harder this time, sliding
his tongue into my mouth, "Okay, well no big deal. I don't care if anyone
sees us," he said nonchalantly as his hands began to roam underneath my
shirt.

"Oh man, poor Davy is gonna get an eyeful," I said between kisses and sighs
as he caressed me.

"Poor Davy, alright, poor Davy has no idea how much he's gonna see," Skyler
said mischievously, pushing his hand under my jeans and groping for my
dick. He gently stroked my shaft as he kissed my neck.

I moaned loudly, praying Davy would be out for a long time.

***

"I don't want you to go," I whispered childishly in Skyler's ear as I
clutched his neck.

After Skyler and I had made out and had sex several times, we slept for
awhile and then met up with Callum and Storm for dinner. Davy came along
too because we ran into him on the way to a pizza shop.

We talked, ate, joked, got to know one another, but I wasn't having the
best time because I knew that as soon as dinner was over, the twins would
be heading back to Jersey. I knew they couldn't really stay because Storm
worked on the weekends.

Skyler rubbed his hands up and down my back comfortingly. "It's ok
Zeke. I'll visit again soon," he promised kissing my forehead.

"I know," I answered quietly and I did know he would try to visit but I
also knew that as the semester went on and everyone became busier with
their classes, Skyler would have a harder time getting away. Not to
mention, when snowboarding season came up, he would be working every
weekend again.

"Don't do this Zeke, don't be sad, please," Skyler murmured softly in my
ear. "I can't take it when you're sad."

I hugged him harder and closed my eyes, "I don't know why it's so hard. It
should be easier by now. I shouldn't be acting like this," I said,
burrowing my face in his neck.

Skyler patted my neck, his thumb circling my skin lightly, "It's hard Zeke,
it's always hard to say good bye even for a little while. But I don't want
to go home feeling sad or knowing that you feel sad, ok? I need you to be
happy baby, even when I'm not with you. You have to be happy, you have
friends and stuff here, enjoy that."

"Yeah," I whispered.

"I love you Zeke, the time will fly by and we'll have the entire winter
together again, ok? I love you so much."

"I love you, too."

I felt his lips grazing my neck as we hugged. Skyler slowly pulled away and
I let go of him reluctantly. He was standing in front of me and I already
missed him, not being hugged by him anymore.

He gave me a smile and held my hand as he walked to the door. Storm was
already waiting in the car, deciding to give us some privacy to say good
bye.

"I love you Zeke, I'll call you tonight," Skyler said as he slowly let go
of my hand and walked towards the car.

I waved and watched him walk to the car, as he got into the car, and even
as Storm pulled out of the parking lot. I even watched the car pass down
the street and out of sight.

At that moment Davy walked back in.

"Hey man, you alright?" he asked not realizing that Skyler had just left.

I shook my head at him, ignoring my roommate's concerned expression and
silently walked back to my room, suddenly feeling very tired and in
desperate need of some sleep.
