                 Chapter 6 Caves and Surprises

     The two weeks passed slowly for all three boys, Ben and Kyle talked to
Justin every night on im so he wouldn't feel all alone.  The first Monday
after the grounding was up, Ben invited Justin and Kyle to come over after
school, but Kyle's family was going out to supper, so he couldn't come
over.  Justin called his mom and she told him as long as he was home no
later than seven thirty he could spend the afternoon with Ben.  When they
got to Ben's home they had a snack then went up to his room, and played
Super-Nintendo for a hour.  Then Ben asked, " Justin do you want to go
exploring in the woods behind my house?"

"Sure dude that sounds like fun."

     The two boys walked into the woods and began to explore about a hour
later they were close to a mile into the woods and started to climb a steep
hill that had several large Pine trees.

"Wow, these trees sure grow close to the ground, you could hide a army
behind that tree." said Justin.

"That hill behind this tree goes almost straight up, let's see what is
behind it." said Ben.

     Ben and Justin pushed through the thick pine boughs to the back of the
tree.  As they pushed through the last of the boughs, they found to their
surprise not a hillside, but instead an opening to a cave.  Both boys
almost jumped out of their skin when they saw a human skeleton sitting
leaning against the edge of the cave entrance.

The boys picked up a stick and poked the skeleton, "I guess it is dead."
said Justin.

The boys moved closer and noticed old bit of what looked like leather
around the skeleton's feet.  "How long do you think this has been here?"
asked Ben.

"I don't know but I bet it was an Indian,"said Justin.

"Let's see what is in the cave." said Ben.  The boys used the stick to
knock down the spider webs that covered the entrance to the cave.  They
slowly crept into the cave waving the stick before them.  It was very dark
inside so the cave and the boys could see very little.

"We will have to bring a flashlight or lantern to see what is in
there."said Justin.

"Do we have time to go back to your house and get one?" asked Justin.

"No in fact if we don't hurry mom will already be home.  Are we going to
tell my parents about the cave and Indian skeleton."

"No way man this place is just for you, me and Kyle." said Justin.

"But what about the skeleton?" asked Ben.  It wouldn't be right to move
him, let's call him sentinel he can be our spirt guard."said Justin.

"Do you think we can find this place again?"asked Ben.

"Maybe we should mark a trail somehow."said Justin.

      The boys piled up rocks at the base of the hill and then made their
way back towards Ben's house making piles of stones every few hundred feet.
When they were close enough to Ben's house, they no longer needed to mark
the way.

As they got back to the house Ben said, "we have to get cleaned up before
mom gets home."

The boys walked into the house only to find Betty already home.  "Have you
two been wrestling bears in the woods?"asked Betty.

The two boys giggled and shook their heads no.  Well you both have pine
pitch in your hair so before you eat I want you to shower."said Betty.

The boys went up stairs and Ben said "if we take a shower together we can
make sure we get all the pine pitch out of our hair."

"Sounds like a great idea" said Justin.  They went into bathroom and got
undressed.

Ben said "I'll lend you some clothes and my mom will wash yours and I will
bring them to school tomorrow.  The two boys stepped into the shower and
washed each others hair.  After rinsing their hair Ben washed Justin's back
and then Justin washed Ben's back.  As the two boys turned toward each
other they both blushed and then looked down at each other and said at the
same time "ah the damn thing did it again."

With that they both clasped into a fit of giggles landing in a tangled heap
on the bottom of the tub.  Justin lay in the bottom with Ben in twisted
heap on top of him.  The two boy looked at each other and realized that
they were laying on top of each other.  They both scrambled back to their
feet.

Ben looked at Justin and said, " I'mmmm sorry I didn't mean to touch you?"

"Ben it's ok I know you weren't trying to feel me up, you know what I
mean."

The two boys stood there in the shower hands on each other shoulders and
Ben looked at Justin and said.  "Justin I need to tell you something."

"What"Justin whispered

"Please don't hate me, but I'm gay."  With that Ben turned around not
daring to look at Justin's face.

Justin stood there thinking did Ben just say what I think he said.  Did he
say that he is gay like I think I am.  Suddenly Justin face was lite with
an ear to ear grin.  He reached out and turned Ben around.  He could feel
Ben shaking then he looked into his eyes and whispered "me too I think."

The two boys stood there for several minutes just staring into each others
eyes.  "BBBen there is something else I got to tell you.  I like you, you
know more than just as a friend."

Ben answered "me too."

     Suddenly they got a blast of cold water and began to shiver.  Ben
turned off the shower and both boys dried off in silence.  When they got to
Ben's room, Justin said.  "My dad can't find out he would kill me.  Do your
parents know about you?"

"Yes, and they know that I like you."

"Will they tell anyone?"

"No we are safe here they like you a lot and won't mind if we are
boyfriends."

"Is that what we are?"

"I think so"
     Then Ben bent his head and kissed Justin on the lips.  The kiss only
lasted a second, but both boys were suddenly breathless.  They sat on Ben's
bed just staring at each other.

"Wow, that was my first kiss, how about you?" asked Ben.

     "It was the first time I ever kissed my boyfriend, but last spring
when I came back to school after the General had given me a bad beating
Kyle had found out what had happened.  He came over to see how I was
feeling, because my mom had told him I was sick when he called.  He came in
the patio door and could hear my mother down stairs vacuuming so he came up
to my room.  I was laying on my bed with a black eye and bruises all over
my body, where the General had punched and kicked me.  If my parents found
out that Kyle had seen me we would both been in deep shit.  I promised to
tell him everything when I went back to school.  My first day back Kyle
told me I had better fess up at lunch or he would tell his parents.  I
didn't want to talk about it so I hid out on the sport field bleachers.
Kyle found me and when he saw how upset I was he kissed me with his tongue
and all.  It made me hot and hard, but to Kyle all it meant was helping a
friend feel better.  Kyle is an absolute str8 guy.  So I guess his kiss
doesn't count."

"When Candi was kissing and humping me I felt like I was being smothered,
but your kiss just felt great."

"I know what you mean Tiffany tried to put her tongue down my throat and I
didn't like it at all.  Ben can we try another kiss, please"

Ben nodded his head and then the two boys moved together again.  They
fumbled for a moment trying to get in the right position, then their lips
met and tongues extended as they had their first deep kiss.  At that moment
a time warp took place in Ben's bedroom, the laws of physics were
suspended, time stopped.  Both boys struggled to breathe, then each one got
the moony sappy 'I've lost all my senses' look of being head over heals in
love.

"WOW, there isn't any question in my mind as to whether I am gay or not
now."  said Justin.

"I never, ever, imagined it would feel that good.  Did you?" asked Ben.

Justin shook his head no, and just sat there holding Ben's hands staring
into his beautiful emerald eyes.  Ben stared back into Justin's eyes with a
shit eating grin from ear to ear on his face.

     The boys might have sat there forever if Betty hadn't called up and
said, "dad is home and supper is ready."

     The two boy shook their heads to clear their minds and then realized
that they still on had towels on.  Ben walked to his dresser and grabbed
two sets of T-shirts, and two pair of Umbro running shorts.  "Let's wear
these than we don't need underwear, they have a lining like a bathing suit.
And I know how sexy you will look in them."

  The T-shirts were like muscle shirts cut off to show off their four-pack
abdomens.  As they dressed Justin started to giggle and said, "there is
only problem with these outfits, the shirts are too short to cover our
obvious erections."

"It's ok my parents won't mind they see it happen to me all the time and
you know how cool my dad is about things like that."

      After slipping on their sandals on Ben grabbed Justin's hand and
started down the stairs.  At first Justin started to pull his hand free,
but then Ben said, "I told you my parent are cool and they already know I
like you, please."

     Justin looked at Ben and thought how can I ever resist him when he
looks at me with those fantastic eyes.  The boys walked into the kitchen
holding hands.

      Jon looked at the two and said, "well I guess we now know that Justin
likes you as much as you do him" and then he chuckled.

"Justin I want you to know that you can be yourself at our home.  We won't
say anything to anyone.  We want you two to have at least one place where
you can feel free not to hide how you feel about each other."  With that he
stood up and hugged both boys.  Betty joined in the group hug, Justin
thought this must be the happiest moment in his life.

"Now we have that out of the way let's eat." said Jon.

     After supper Jon took the boys into his den and spent a hour talking
with them about sex and what other might door think if they found out about
them being boyfriends.

"Justin I'm not trying to embarrass you but I need to know if you have ever
had sex even once with another person, with all the diseases out there I
need to be sure Ben is safe."

"No sir, oh I mean Jon, I'm a virgin like Ben."

"Good than I want the both of you to promise each other right now that if
either of you ever have sex with anyone else as long as you are together
that you will tell the other one.  I am assuming that the two of you want
an exclusive relationship.  I'm not talking about a jerk off session with
your buddies, but about oral or anal sex."

Ben and Justin looked at each other and both said "Yes, that is what we
want."

Ben looked at Justin and said "I promise", "me too," said Justin.

      "Good, mom contacted an organization called PFLAG it is made up of
parents and friends of gay and lesbian children, they sent this information
on gay sex we looked it over and want the two of you to read it so that you
will be informed as what to expect when and if you do have sex.  Again I
want to say I'm not encouraging you to have sex, in fact I would rather you
wait until you are both sure you are ready.  But, I wouldn't be a good
parent if I didn't make sure you were going to be safe and informed before
something happened."

     Jon drove Justin back home in Peggy's Minivan.  The two boys sat in
the back seat holding hands. The van windows were tinted so no one could
see inside.  When they pulled into the General's driveway Ben took Justin
in his arms and gave him a quick kiss goodby.  Then he jumped into the
front seat with his dad and waved by to Justin.
     After pulling back onto the road Jon looked at his son and said, "do
you know that you are glowing, it reminds me of how mom looked when she was
carrying you."

Ben blushed deep red, and then hugging himself he said, "oh daddy I'm sooo
happy."

Jon reached over and ruffled Ben's hair. "I think you have chosen well,
Justin is a great boy.  But what about Kyle, I don't think you can keep
this from him, as close as he is to the two of you he will know something
is up."

"We are all spending the weekend together at our house so I guess we will
tell him then, I know he will be cool about it."

      Tuesday morning the three boys met at the bike rack as usual.  Ben
was last to arrive and as soon as he got there he said, "Kyle you are never
going to believe what Justin and I found in the woods behind my house
yesterday afternoon."

" what?"

"Nope can't tell you, we got to show you Friday afternoon."

"You have got to be kidding, tell me know."

Justin caught Ben's eye and winked, "we just can't tell you there aren't
any words to describe it, you will just have to wait until Friday
afternoon."

      Just than the first bell rang and they had to go to homeroom.  That
night Kyle called Justin and tried every way from threats to bribery to get
him to tell the secret, but to no avail.  The week passed quickly and it
was finally Friday afternoon.  Betty picked the boys up at school and drove
them first to Kyle's house and then to Justin's home where the two boys
gathered the clothes and other things that they needed for the weekend.  As
soon as they got home Betty told them that she had to go back to work and
would be home at 6:00 that evening.  The boys quickly ran to Ben's room and
changed out of their school clothes.

"Ok, dudes time to fess up." said Kyle.

"We found a cave behind a big pine tree about a mile behind my house.  But
the wildest thing is there is a skeleton sitting leaning against the
entrance like a sentinel."

"Let's go I got to see this." said Kyle.
      They grabbed two flashlights and a lantern and ran out of the back
door into the woods.  Twenty minutes later they found the cave again.  All
three boys stared at the skeleton and decided it would be a mistake to tell
anyone and have it moved.  The boys lit the lantern and turned on the
flashlights, swinging a stick to knock down all the spider webs.  They
slowly moved into the cave.  The cave was more like a cavern, twenty feet
deep and fifteen feet wide.  In the middle of the cave were the remains of
a long cold fire.  To the left were a pile of what appeared to be old skins
or blankets.  And on the other side of fire were different pottery vessels
and a few primitive tools.

"From the looks I don't think that anyone has been here for a very long
time." said Kyle.

"Look at those pots, I bet they are hundreds of years old." said Justin.

"I wonder if there is anything in the blankets." Ben said.

     The boys slowly unwrapped the skins and blankets.  Under the pile they
found a small leather satchel and what appeared to be a very old musket
type of gun.  When they opened the satchel they found some strange coins
that appeared to be from the time of the revolutionary war.

"I'm not sure, but, I think these may be Continental dollars.  If they are,
they may be worth a lot of money." said Justin.

"How can we find out?" asked Ben.

"When we get back to your house we could look it up on the internet." said
Justin.

"This will be a great hideout we could bring out a sleeping bag to keep
here and bring others if we wanted to spend the night." said Ben.

"We will need to have some canned goods and something to hold water from
the stream, and matches to light fires., and a ax to cut fire wood." Kyle
added.

"My dad has all those things even some spare ammo boxes that are water
tight to keep matches in."Said Ben.

"What will we tell your dad so that he will let us have any of those
things.?" asked Kyle.

"Why don't we just tell him the truth that we found a cave and that we want
to use it as our special place, but not say anything about the skeleton, or
the coins." said Ben.

"Before we go back to Ben's there is something that Ben and I need to tell
you."  said Justin.

"What's up dudes?" asked Kyle.

"Weelll, BBBen and I have found out that we are both gggay and we are like
boyfriendsssss."said Justin in a rush.

     Kyle stood there for a second and then got a huge smile on his face
and said, "Kewl dudes, but I'm not surprised.  After what happened last
weekend I was pretty sure that you both were gay.  In fact I was kind of
hoping that the two of you would get together.  I love both of you and I
want you both to be happy.  And it is obvious that neither of your are
meant to be with girls.  So why wouldn't I want the two of you to be
together."

     Justin and Ben stood there with mouths hanging open.  "Do you think
anyone else knows.?"asked Justin with a shaky voice.

"No way, if anyone had a clue I would have heard about it I take that
neither of you want this to become public knowledge.  So if I ever see
either of you doing anything that might tip someone off, I will let you
know." said Kyle.

"Kyle, how did we ever get such a great friend?" asked Justin.

"Nothing special you just do what you have been doing for all the time we
have known each other." said Kyle.

"I have just two questions for you guys.  Does this mean you don't want to
have any more JO sessions like last Friday night at the campsite, you know
each to his own at the same time?  And the big one have you two done
'IT'."asked Kyle.

"Dude, you are a nut, but I guess if we all feel ok about it we could do it
again.  But, the answer is NO we haven't and I don't know when or if we
will.  The only thing we have done is kiss a few times." said Ben.

"I take it you like kissing each other better than with those girls from
the campground." asked Kyle.

Justin grabbed Ben and kissed him deeply as if both boys trying to win the
Olympic tongue wrestling contest.

When they broke their kiss Kyle was giggling and said, "I guess that
answers my question.  If I wasn't a str8 I would be jealous, you two really
look so hot together like you belong in each others arms."

Both boys blushed, then they tackled Kyle and tickled him until he begged
for mercy.  The boys left the flashlight and lantern at the cave and walked
back to Ben's house.  As they were walking Justin asked Kyle, "did you see
Jamie this week , and how is he doing?"

     "Last night they let him come to my group, it got real tense for a
while with an abuser there, but when all the guys heard Jamie's story they
accepted him.  Before the night was over there were a lot of tears.  Jamie
will not be able to see me without and adult being in the same room but we
at least see each other.  He is still so ashamed at what he did but he is
learning to forgive himself .  He told me that he will always be bi.  But
says he is going to try to stay on the straight side for a while until he
is ready to make better decisions."

    They arrived at the house and went into the garage Jon was working on
his boat motor.  "What's up guys."

"Dad you won't believe what we found in the woods."

"What did you find a dead body?" chuckled Jon.  All three boys shouted
"NOOOOOOOOOO."

Jon looked at the boys in surprise and said, "well what in hell did you
find then"

"Two things first we found a cave behind a big pine back in the woods
around a mile back and inside we found this old leather satchel and there
were seven of these coins inside." said Ben as he handed his dad one of the
coins.

"Justin thinks they may be Continental dollars, but we can't make out what
they are."

    Jon looked at the coin and said. "this looks like pewter or silver, mom
has some silver polish under the sink go get it from her buddy."  Ben
returned with the polish and handed it to Jon.  He poured some on a cloth
and rubbed the coin soon the centuries worth of oxidation were removed and
Jon read the center of the coin it said 'mind your business'.  As he rubbed
more he read Continental Currency with the date 1776 imprinted on the coin.
Jon cleaned the coin and discovered that it appeared like new.  The boys
were all excited and went into the house to go on line to see what they
could find out about the coins.  There wasn't a lot of information on the
Dollars.

Jon told the boys, "I will clean the coins and take them to a coin dealer
for appraisal.  Are you boys spending the night at your cave?  Because I
want to know where you are going to be I will help you carry your stuff out
there."

"Dad we want to keep our cave a secret just the three of us know where it
is could I take the cell phone and call you when we get there, that way you
can keep in contact with us and we can keep our cave location a secret."

"I'm not sure your mother will go along with that, but I try to convince
her at least for tonight."
     Jon went into the house and spent a full half hour convincing Betty to
agree with the boys request.  The five sat at the table and eat supper.
Jon checked the cell phone batteries to be sure that they were full.  The
boys gathered three sleeping bags, the ax, matches, and snacks.
     They arrived back at the cave and gathered wood for the fire. When
they had enough wood they started a fire.  The boys laid two sleeping bags
face up fully opened on the floor of the cave and then put the last one
face down.  Justin went down to the stream at the bottom of the hill to
retrieve the six-pack of Pepsi where they had left it to stay cool.  It was
another hot sticky night and the boys were soon down to only their boxers.
As they munched on Nacho Dorito's, and drank the Pepsi they talked about
everything that had taken place in their lives in the last few months.

"Have you dudes noticed the new girl Mindy?" asked Kyle.

Both boys shook their heads.  "I should have known you both have blinders
on and only see dudes, giggle, giggle."

"Do you mean the blond headed one that had on the black mini skirt
yesterday?"  giggled Justin.

"Oh, I think I know the one you mean isn't she the one who had on that
tight pink sweater the other day,." giggled Ben.

"How come if you are gay you know so much about her, I get it you are just
pulling my leg and that kiss was all part of the gag, right." said Kyle.

      Ben and Justin laughed and shook their heads.  "NOT" both boys
shouted as they broke into a fit of giggles.  "Do you think we should tell
him?" Justin asked Ben.

"I'm not sure it might blow his mind." said Ben.

"Pleaseeeeeeee!" begged Kyle.

"What do we get if we tell you the truth?" said Justin.

"Anything, anything at all."

"Ok let's say we have a blank rain check that can be cashed any time, any
way, for anything, right?" asked Ben as he and Justin roared with laughter.

"Yes, yes, anything I promise just tell me what you know." pleaded Kyle.

"I guess eight years of friendship is worth something.  Kyle it would have
been impossible for us not notice every time you saw her this week you
either stopped in your tracks with that stupid grin on your face.  The
lunch room the other day we were in line and she walked in and you just
stopped, the line moved on and even when Ben poked you it was just as if
you were a statue it took three pokes to turn you back to a boy again."
laughed Justin.

"You are making it up, right." said Kyle.

"Not a chance." giggled Ben "you have it bad."  .


"Do you think she noticed me?" asked Kyle.

"I didn't ask her, but yesterday when we were coming back to the gym from
baseball practice she was walking in a group of girls and I watched to see
if she was looking and as you ran around the end of the gym she stopped in
her tracts and two girls ran into her.  Then they pointed at you and began
to giggle.  So I think the attraction is mutual." answered Ben.

"If you want I'll call Jen tomorrow night and have her ask Mindy if she
likes you.?"  giggled Justin.

"Do you think she would do that for me?" asked Kyle.

"If I ask her nice she will and you won't have to promise her more than
your first born." giggled Justin.

     The three boys sat talking and munching the chips and sipping on the
Pepsi the fire began to die.  The boys went outside and emptied their
bladders, and then laid on the top of the sleeping bags.  The fire was down
to a few glowing embers, as the boys drifted off to sleep.  In the morning
the boys awoke dressed and stowed their camping equipment. Ben called home
and told his mom that they would be home in a half hour. Betty had a large
southern breakfast waiting for them.

     As they were eating breakfast there was a flash of light followed by a
large BOOM.
