When Tyler awoke, the room was quite chilly.  It seemed even worse because
of the wind howling outside rattling the windows of the old cabin.  He lay
in the bed shivering, not wanting to get up.  Only his dark tousled head of
hair was showing above the blanket.

Eventually, he'd have to brave the cold to get to the bathroom, but not
just yet.  In his mind he was cursing himself for his habit of sleeping in
next to nothing.  If he'd have been at home alone, he WOULD have been
sleeping in nothing.  But if he'd have been home, he would have been warm.

Gavin, who was in the other bed in the loft next to him, was cold too.
Without any way of knowing the consequences of his spur-of-the-moment
actions, he did something that was to change their lives forever.  He
jumped out of his bed and into the one that held his best friend, landing
in a way that nearly took the wind out of him.

"Get off me, you fag!" Tyler giggled.

"You're freezing your scrawny butt off and I'm here to save you from that
fate," Gavin exclaimed.  "Let me warm you up, you wuss."

"Stop touching my body with your cold hands, queer."

The boys exchanged a few more jesting insults and wrestled good-naturedly
for a couple of minutes, warming up in the process.  Tyler ended up on top
although he was slightly smaller than his buddy.  Had Gavin wanted to, he
could have reversed their position with a bit of effort, but he was
enjoying the feeling of Tyler's body on his.  They had wrestled each other
for real in practice, but this was different somehow.  Both boys were
breathing heavily and grinning impishly.

"I've got you where I want you," Tyler insisted.  "I'll teach you to jump
into my bed uninvited, pervert."

He had intended to plant a big, wet kiss on Gavin's cheek as a sign of
domination over him, but missed when Gavin moved at the last minute.  The
result was that the kiss landed directly on Gavin's lips.  Tyler pulled
back, embarrassed.  They lay there for a full minute looking silently into
each other's eyes in the gray light of the winter morning.  Gavin pulled
Tyler's face toward his and they kissed again.  At first it was tentative;
then it became fervent.

Tyler began to grind his brief-covered crotch against Gavin's.  Both were
moaning into each other's mouth as the heat of their passion rose to a
fever pitch.

Gavin slid his hands under the waistband of Tyler's undies and massaged the
firm, spongy butt encased within.  He worked the middle finger of his right
hand down into the cleft, lightly grazing that warm, moist crack.

Tyler gave a gasp, froze in place for a second, and let loose the biggest
load of cum that he'd ever produced up to that point in his young life.
His intense physical climax and vocal expression took Gavin over the edge
with him.

They had scarcely finished spewing when Tyler began to sob.

"Hey, what's wrong, bud?"

"I didn't mean for this to happen!  I only meant to kiss you on the cheek
to, like, dominate you like Shawn does to the freshmen on the team.  I
didn't mean to kiss you for real."

"I know.  Why do you think I moved at the last minute?  In that split
second, I knew I wanted it to happen."

"Oh shit!  I've perverted you," Tyler wailed.

"No, no!  You haven't done any such thing.  I've wanted to do this with you
for about three years, but I've never had the balls to do it.  I was afraid
you'd hate me.  Tyler, I care for you so much that I can't even find words
to express it!"

Tyler stopped mid-sob and stared disbelievingly into Gavin's eyes.

"You were the one who wanted to stop jacking off together back then," he
reminded Gavin.  "You said we needed to grow up and get girlfriends so we
could get married some day and have kids and all.  You said it was an
abomination for guys to do sex things together!"

"Yeah, I know.  I really believed Pastor Bob when he told us boys in youth
group all that stuff about how sinful it was for men to do stuff with other
men.  I figured we'd both go to Hell if we kept on and I didn't want to
send you to Hell even if I was going there."

"I think Pastor Bob is the one heading for Hell," Tyler replied.  "Didn't
you notice how excited he got when he told us how men put their cocks in
other men's mouths and how they did each other up the butt?  I'm pretty
sure he had a hardon under that big Bible on his lap.  I'll bet he's a
pervert."

"Well, he did resign not to long after that.  Do you think someone
complained?"

"Billy Thompson acted pretty offended and his dad's an elder.  I think he
went right home and told."

"Back to the subject, was Pastor Bob right?  Are we going to Hell?"

"Hell no!" Tyler grinned.  "It felt more like heaven to me."

"You don't seem upset anymore.  How come?"

"Because if you're okay with what we did, I sure am."

"Ty, I'm more than okay with it; I love you.  I think I have since we were
in diapers.  I've always loved you like a brother; no, more than a brother.
I mean, I love Kevin, but I'm not in love with the twerp.  I thought what I
felt for you was like being best friends, but it's more – a whole lot
more.  I don't know exactly how to say it, but I always want to be with
you."

"You mean together, like married?"

"Yeah, if you feel the same, we actually could be since the law changed and
we're 18." Gavin said searching Tyler's eyes for an answer.

"I WOULD like that, and it's easy enough to say, but what will our parents
do?"

"I'm not sure.  I wish I knew."

They lay together for several more minutes enjoying the warmth and
closeness.  Gavin kept stoking Tyler's back until he could swear his buddy
was purring.  They might have fallen back to sleep like that except that
the chilly temperature of the room began to seep in again.

"I hate to break this up, but what's with the furnace in this place?" Tyler
asked.

"Let me check the lamp to see if we have electricity.  The furnace won't
work without it."

Gavin tried the switch on the lamp between the beds.  It didn't go on.
With the power out, there might be things to worry about besides staying
warm.  The community well wouldn't function if the lines connected to the
pump were down too.  The boys were going to have to put their
problem-solving skills to use if they were going to survive this storm
without being miserable.

"Let's run to the bathroom and light the space heater in there.  It's
manual like the one in the kitchen.  They were here before Dad had the
furnace put in.  We can have enough heat to survive even if we have to
sleep in one of those rooms on the floor tonight." Gavin said.

"If there's still water, uh, maybe we should shower the cum off our
bodies." Tyler snickered.  "I'll get some big pots from the kitchen to fill
up in the shower while we're waiting for the warm water.  We should
probably conserve just in case."

The boys quickly stripped off their soggy briefs and donned the fleece
sweat suits that they'd lounged in the night before.  They put on
yesterday's socks as well.  Now the room didn't feel quite as cold as it
had.

For some reason, there was still water pressure.  Perhaps it was because
the well was on higher ground than the cabin.  Seeing that the flow was
pretty strong, the guys filled several pots with warming water before
stripping, relieving themselves, and getting into the shower together.

Both got their heads and bodies wet and turned off the shower to conserve.
Gavin offered to shampoo Tyler's hair.  Tyler loved the idea and got down
on his knees in the small shower stall.  While Gavin was massaging his
scalp, Tyler was nuzzling Gavin's crotch.  He inhaled the mixture of fresh
cum and ball sweat which made up the rich scent.

"Quit doing that, you perv!" Gavin giggled.  "I'm having a hard time
concentrating on my job."

"I can see that you're having a HARD time," Tyler snickered as he lightly
petted Gavin's growing appendage.

"Turn the water back on a minute so you can rinse off and we'll change
positions."

As Tyler washed Gavin's hair, Gavin sniffed and fondled Tyler's dick.  When
Gavin stood up again, they soaped each other's body.  Combined with the
teasing they'd been doing, the contact was too much for the pair of recent
virgins.  With a few pumps, they brought each other to another awesome
climax.  They had barely gotten the evidence washed down the drain when the
water flow slowed down to a trickle and finally ceased completely.

"I guess there must not be any electricity to the well either.  I'm glad we
thought about saving water before we started!" Tyler exclaimed.  "I hope we
have enough to hold us until the power's back on."

"You were smart to think of filling the pots.  If we're stuck up here for
days, we can turn off the water heater and use the water out of it or melt
snow on the gas range." Gavin assured him.

"You're right.  We'll be okay.  We won't die of thirst."

----------

About an hour later, the cabin looked like a domestic scene from a Norman
Rockwell calendar.  The blazing logs in the fireplace lent a pleasant glow
to the room and to the faces of the boys cuddled on the sofa in front of
it.  The aroma of fried bacon lingered in the air as the young men listened
to the weather report on the battery radio that was kept for such
emergencies.

There were blizzard conditions across a large portion of the state.  In the
area where the cabin was situated, the meteorologist estimated the
accumulation of snow that fell during the night to be in excess of 10
inches and it was still coming down.  Combined with 35 mile per hour winds,
gusting to 50, travel was impossible even for emergency vehicles.

Since they'd been sent ahead with most of the food for the five-day stay
their two families had planned, there was no chance that they'd go hungry
before the storm subsided and the roads were cleared again.

Their parents and kid brothers were supposed to arrive that night, the 23rd
of December, so they'd have Christmas Eve together.  The odds of that
happening now were slim to none.

They roused themselves from their comfortable nest to take care of the
food.  Since the cabin was warming up and the power was still off, they put
the things from the freezer compartment out on the screened porch that
faced the lake.  The contents of the refrigerator section would do better
in the small entry room where they would stay cold, but not freeze.

When those chores were finished, they returned to their spot in front of
the fire.  As the fire died down, Gavin went to the entryway again to
retrieve a few more logs.  They would probably have to get dressed later
and bring in more wood from the shed so that they'd have enough for the
next day.

Gavin sprawled across the sofa and got Tyler to sit between his legs and
rest against his chest.  He pulled his own T-shirt off and helped Tyler
remove his.  Then he pulled a comforter over them to keep them warm.

Skin to skin contact felt great!  Gavin hugged Tyler's back tightly against
his chest for several minutes.  Then he began lightly tracing little
circles around Tyler's nipples with his finger tips.  Tyler moaned in
appreciation.

"Gav, we have to make this work.  I want to be like this with you for the
rest of my life."

"I agree, but we have to be careful.  We don't dare screw up our college
education.  If our parents find out and go postal, we could be out on the
street.  We're 18 and they don't have any legal responsibility for us now.
Honestly, I'm scared."

"I know.  I've heard your dad say bad things about gays.  My dad hasn't
been like that, but you never know."

"Yeah, your dad is the most understanding of the four `rents.  I think we
could count on him if it came to that." Gavin agreed.  "We have to have a
plan, just like we have for coming through this storm.  I've got money my
grandparents put into a 529 account for my education.  My parents can't
touch it.  If I went to community college for the first two years and
worked part time, I could make it.  I'd share with you and we could both
take out student loans."

"I have some savings too and I know my dad well enough to know that he
wouldn't try to take them away from me.  He really values education because
he never got to finish college." Tyler said.

Their conversation ceased when Tyler turned over on his stomach on top of
Gavin and kissed him deeply.  This time, there was no hesitation.  Tyler
ran his tongue across Gavin's lips in a wordless request for entry.  Gavin
opened his mouth enough to invite Tyler in.

The next few minutes were spent in intense making out.  If they hadn't cum
twice already, both boys would probably have cum without being touched -
just from the excitement.  When they stopped a moment to catch their
breath, Gavin expressed his feeling verbally.

"This is way better than doing it with a girl!  I've never felt anything
like I feel with you."

"Yeah, like you have a lot of experience with a girl," Tyler snickered.  "I
know you would have told me if you'd ever fucked one."

"Maybe I haven't gone all the way, but I did make out with Crystal last
fall after the homecoming dance.  I think she would have let me, but I
didn't want to.  Making out with her didn't do it for me.  I wasn't even
hard!"

"You can't claim that now, stud!" Tyler grinned as he humped against
Gavin's crotch.

"That's my point, pervert!  She couldn't get a rise out of me and I can't
go soft messing around with you.  I know for sure what team I'm on.  Uh,
can I do something to you that you might really think is perverted?"

"Okay," Tyler gulped.  "Just take it easy on my virgin ass."

"I'm not planning to fuck you!" Gavin exclaimed.  "- at least not now.  I'd
like to know what it's like to blow you if you don't think that's too
dirty."

"God no!  I mean, no, I don't think it's dirty.  I'll probably be willing
to try anything with you.  I'd like to taste your cock too."

"Good!  Have you heard the term '69'?"

"Yeah, let's do it!" Tyler exclaimed eagerly.

They spread the comforter on the seat and back of the couch and stripped
each other in a flash.  Gavin lay on his back and Tyler straddled his head
so that they both had access.

Gavin licked and kissed Tyler's cock-head making the latter moan in lust.
In fact, he was so into the feeling that he nearly forgot to return the
favor.

Next, Gavin licked the area behind Tyler's balls.  That brought more sounds
of pleasure and a stream of precum which Gavin licked up hungrily, milking
Tyler's dick to get a bit more.  He progressed from there to sucking on
Tyler's `nads.  Tyler tried to mimic Gavin's every move, thinking that
whatever Gavin was doing to him must be what he'd like to feel in return.

It was fortunate that this was not their first sex of the day because they
were able to last a lot longer enjoying the sensations that permeated their
young bodies.  Eventually this, like all good things, came to an end.  What
a climax it was!  If their early morning frottage had felt like heaven,
this experience had no similes or metaphors to describe it.

Tyler turned around and the two kissed deeply tasting the cocktail of their
combined juices.  It was so hot that neither of them lost their erections
entirely.  Then Gavin shifted so that he and Tyler were face to face on
their sides.  He pulled the top of the comforter over them both and they
lay there several more minutes reveling in the contact of warm, bare skin.

"I suppose we should get up and fix some food to keep our strength up,"
Gavin said eventually.

"Yeah, my metabolism is on high," Tyler giggled.  "We should have done this
last week when we were trying to cut weight."

The boys reluctantly put their sweat suits back on to keep warm while
foraging in the kitchen.  They heated up canned soup and ate that along
with cheese and crackers.

After they cleaned up from lunch, Tyler announced that he was going to make
the stew his mother had planned to fix for Christmas Eve.  It was supposed
to easily feed eight people, so there should be more than enough to reheat
for the next day as well as to enjoy for supper.

"I've helped her enough to know about how she does it.  If you have the
right meat and veggies, you can't screw it up unless you burn it."

Gavin helped by peeling potatoes, scraping carrots, and cutting onions
while Tyler floured the meat and browned it in hot oil.  Within a short
time, they had the ingredients simmering slowly in a big old cast iron
kettle that had belonged to Gavin's great grandmother.

----------

Evening found the boys cuddling in front of the fire again.  When the wind
had subsided, they'd donned their winter coats and brought in more
firewood.  They had even played in the new snow after Gavin had taken some
pictures to prove how big the drifts were.  The fresh air and exercise had
staved off cabin fever for the time being.

"Do you want to sleep down here or in the loft?" Gavin asked.

"Let's share my bed in the loft.  We can pile on the covers and sleep
naked.  We can pretend we've been married awhile."

"I thought that's what we've been doing."

"No, we've been playing honeymoon.  I'll show you how it works.  I want you
to say something suggestive to me about having sex tonight."

"Okay, how about: Honey, wanna test the old bed springs?" Gavin said
wiggling his eyebrows and trying to look lascivious.

"Not tonight, dear; I have a headache." Tyler giggled.

Gavin joined him in laugher.  Then he kissed his buddy on the nose.

"Okay, I think I get your point.  We can cuddle naked, but maybe give our
dicks a rest so that we can do more stuff tomorrow."

And so the boys banked the fire and climbed the stairs to their bed.

----------

Christmas Eve day dawned bright and calm.  The view from the loft window
was like the picture on a Christmas card.  The entire landscape was
blanketed in white.  In that moment, the boys could believe in the
possibility of love and peace on earth.

Gavin took a few photos before running down to the bathroom to pee.  On the
way back, he stopped to stir up the coals and place a couple of new logs in
the fireplace.

Tyler roused when Gavin slipped back into bed with him.  He snuggled
against Gavin's back, his erection nestling against Gavin's butt cheeks.

"Where'd you go, stud?"

"I had to take a piss."

"Wish you'd have taken one for me.  I don't want to leave this warm nest."

"We'd better get up anyway.  It's almost 9:00.  The day is wasting and we
have things to do."

"Don't nag me or I won't marry you after all." Tyler grumbled.

Tyler's comments led to a wrestling match in which he was quickly pinned
beneath his lover.  Only his threats of not being able to control his
bladder and wetting the bed won him his release.  He practically flew down
the stairs, still naked, and barely made it in time.

After a quick wash-up and breakfast, the guys put on long underwear and
snow suits.  They took their cell phones, strapped on old skis that were a
bit short for them, and headed up the hill to the place that usually had
reception.

They still didn't have enough bars showing to make or receive calls, so
they continued further.  Finally, they got in range of a tower.

Their calls went through.  Frantic parents on the other end cried tears of
happiness knowing that their first-born sons were safe.  Their fathers
promised to make it to the cabin by Christmas day.  Road crews were out in
full force and it would be a doable, if arduous journey.

After signing off, the boys took a few more photos of their surroundings to
keep alive the memories of this Christmas.  Then they kissed.

"I almost wish they weren't coming," Tyler sighed when they stepped back
and looked into each other's eyes.

"I know.  It's magical being here alone with you.  I don't want the spell
to be broken.  How are we going to make it work?"

"We'll make it," Tyler assured him.  "Look at how we handled the past
couple of days against the elements.  We have the skills, we love each
other, and we can do it."

"You wanna go test the bed springs," Gavin snickered.

"Yeah, headache's all gone..."

----------

End...
