Greetings and welcome back. The chapter 1 disclaimers still apply—
imagine that. Please give to Nifty. Be safe, always.

In this chapter Marty gets tired of Rich's waffling and asks Rich to
make up his mind about being boyfriends. Eric's friends from Tacoma
arrive in Mayfield ready for a good time, bringing a surprise for
Chandler and Korey along with them.

CHAPTER 15
FRIENDS AND MORE

<Thursday, August 14, Rich's House>

Rich and Marty said goodnight to Rich's parents and went to Rich's
room. They had spent the evening talking about the board meeting,
about Marty's dad, and playing games. They were now ready for bed.
Rich's brother, Mikey, was away to camp for the week, so they had
the upstairs to themselves.

The two teens undressed and eased into Rich's bed. Marty had
already decided this was going to be the evening for a serious talk.
The actions of his father at the school board meeting had given him
cold feet, but he decided that if he was going to be put into a funk by
other people he might as well create his own funk at the same time.
As he so often did, he forgot the rule Mr. Bednarzyck had taught him
about other people; he had no control over their actions and he
shouldn't let them affect how he felt about himself. That tenet was
easier said than done. Even when he did think about the advice he
was given, he had a hard time following it. But the conversation he'd
had with Eric the other day wouldn't leave his head.

"Rich, I need to talk," Marty said.

"I thought we were going to mess around," Rich said.

"Later. I gotta talk first."

"Whatever, but I have a boner that won't quit."

"I promise I'll take care of it."

Rich said nothing and the room started to fill with silence. "Okay, so
talk," Rich finally said.

"I told you I'm gay, right?"

"That's what I thought I heard you say."

"But you never told me what you are."

That brought the silence back to the room. The only sounds were the
breathing of the boys, the nervous rustling of their bodies against the
sheets, the ambient sounds a house always seems to have. Marty
knew enough not to push his friend. Rich's answer would have to
come when he was ready to give it.

"I thought I did. I know I did. But if you say I haven't, I guess I
haven't," Rich finally said.

"Do you know?" Marty was aware of how demanding his question
sounded, but he really needed to know something. He didn't care
which way Rich leaned, he just needed to know.

More silence. "Yeah, I know. I knew it as soon as I got me a girlfriend.
I kept wishing she was you, and I kept going out with her because I
was so mad at you. You had me all confused."

"I told you I was sorry. And you told me a while back you were going
to break up with her, but you never have. I guess that made me think
you were straight."

Rich gave Marty a quick peck on his cheek. "Yeah, you did tell me
you were sorry. And I know how sorry you were. I know now from
what you've told me and the stuff I've been reading that you were
sick."

"I still am sick." Marty said, which got a quick reaction from Rich.

"You don't mean you..."

"No, no, no, I don't mean that at all. But I have to remember I will
always be sick and can never drink again. The sickness won't go
away, but I never have to take another drink." Rich nodded and Marty
went on, "So I guess you're saying you're gay."

"That's what I'm saying."

"So does that mean we can be boyfriends?"

Once again a question from Marty brought silence to the room. "Are
you serious?"

"As serious as I have ever been." Getting Rich to admit this had been
like pulling teeth, as Rich kept wavering about what he was.

Rich turned and draped himself over Marty and gave him another
kiss, only this time it was on his lips and quickly became a deep and
wet and passionate kiss. "Oh god, I love you Marty. I wanted this so
bad. I love you," Rich said after he finally came up for air.

This time Marty could say the same thing without feelings of guilt; he
could say the same thing with conviction. "I love you, too, Rich."

"My boner went away and now it's back harder than ever, right when I
kissed you."

"You can fuck me if you want," Marty said.

"No, I think it's even better if the big stud athlete fucks the skinny
thirteen year old baseball player. That's what I think."

"How about if I make love to you? That's what it's called between two
boyfriends right?"

"That's what they say."

And before they knew it Marty had lubed up his cock, had lubed up
Rich's ass, and with next to no foreplay the two boys joined and
made hard and wild love. Marty's teen cock plowed Rich's smooth
ass as Marty thrust in and out and in and out and the bed shook and
Rich moaned and Marty groaned and Marty exploded into Rich's
insides and Rich jerked his cock to an intense detonation as shot
after shot of his young teen cum coated his torso.

Marty collapsed on the bed and held his blond boyfriend tightly to
him. "I'm never gonna let you go," Marty said.

"Even when I go to the bathroom?"

Marty laughed, loving his lover's sense of humor. "I'll stay out of the
way."

"I just thought of a couple of things," Rich said.

"Tell me."

"First, as far as I know we're going to be the only gay freshmen at the
high school."

"I don't know anybody else. But there are going to be two gay
seniors. The Donkey and the Dawg will be there."

"Are we going to come out at school? To our parents?" Rich asked.

"Not yet. I'm not ready to tell my dad, that's for sure. You heard him
tonight."

"I understand. I'm not sure I can tell my parents, but I think it will be
okay."

"As for school, well, not yet. But I guess we could tell those freaking
gay eighth graders. I mean the whole fucking eighth grade seems to
be gay. Maybe we could tell the Dawg and the Donkey, too."

"That works for me."

Marty kissed Rich lightly and soon the kissing became more
passionate and more desperate. "Want to fuck again?" Marty asked.

"You mean make love again, right?"

"Nah, this time I mean fuck."

"I'm good with it." And a hard fuck was how they finished their night
before collapsing into each other's arms and falling into deep,
untroubled sleeps.

<Friday, August 15, Eric's house>

Eric called Mark early in the morning, but ended up getting his voice
mail. He showered, dressed, and headed down for breakfast. His
mom was off work that day or he wouldn't have bothered to dress.
His mother asked if he wanted her to cook something up for him and
he soon found himself grubbing down fried eggs, bacon, and toast.

"What do you have in mind today?" Eric's mother asked.

"I thought I'd hang out with Noah. We're gonna chill in his pool with
maybe a couple of other guys."

She asked if he'd be back for dinner. Eric said he'd be home by five
unless he called earlier. "If you stay, call me by four."

Eric was soon on his bike riding to Noah's. He knew Noah was an
early riser like he was, so he didn't bother to call to see if Noah was
awake. He simply assumed his friend would be up and around.

He didn't think he'd run across anybody he knew on the way. After all,
it was summer vacation, and for most boys that meant sleeping in. He
was surprised to run across two boys bicycling towards him. He soon
saw that they were Chandler and Korey.  They were both eleven and
would be entering middle school as sixth graders. The two of them
had been best friends since they were little.

The three boys pulled to a stop at the side of the road and exchanged
greetings. "What are you two doing out this early?" Eric asked. It was
almost ten in the morning, but for middle school boys it might as well
be pre-dawn.

"We're riding to the school to help my dad," Chandler said. Eric
thought both Chandler and Korey were really hot boys and was
looking forward to seeing a lot of them when school started. He knew
the two of them were sexually active with each other, not to mention
some of the eighth graders. Chandler's father was a social studies
teacher at the middle school, and was an assistant coach in football
and the head coach in baseball.

"Where are you going?" Korey asked.

"Off to see Noah. We're gonna chill at his pool."

"And we're gonna chill with Mikey and Drew this afternoon at my pool
after we help dad," Chandler said.

"I have company coming next week," Eric said. "I'm hoping we can
spend an afternoon at Noah's pool."

Eric explained who was coming and Korey said, "Too bad they don't
got younger brothers, we could let them use Chandler's pool with us."

"Two of them have younger brothers going into sixth just like you
guys."

"For real?" Chandler asked. "Are they coming?"

"No, this is for us older guys." Being thirteen made Eric an older guy,
of course.

"You gotta get them to come. They can stay at my house," Chandler
said.

"I'm glad you asked your dad first," Eric said with a hint of sarcasm.

"He always does what I want," Chandler said. "I just have to tell him
the right way." That didn't sound like the Coach Ecklund Eric was
used to working with. "If dad says yes, you better get them over
here."

Chandler had a way of being pushy and getting his way. He was not
intimidated by the older boys, especially since he spent more time
hanging with them than he did with his peers.

"I'll do my best," Eric said diplomatically. The boys then went through
their good-bye rituals and rode off to their destinations.

Eric found Noah playing the piano when he arrived at his friend's
house. He knew that Noah played and that he took lessons. He also
knew that while Noah enjoyed playing the piano it wasn't something
he wanted to put a lot of extra effort into. "I like making music," he told
Eric as he got up from the piano, "but I don't like working at it."

"You could be really good at it," Eric said. "I mean, you're already
really good at it..."

"...but I'm not as good as Jin," Noah finished. "If I worked to be as
good as Jin then I'd be practicing a zillion hours a day and I'd end up
being as weird as he is."

"Instead you're as weird as you are," Eric said with a giggle.

"Just remember, I will have control of your clothes once we hit the
pool, so be careful of who you insult."

"That was meant to be a compliment," Eric said. He quickly had to
duck away from a grab by Noah, but he wasn't quick enough to avoid
a grope into his crotch as Noah felt him up and giggled.

It was right then that Noah's little brother Nicky came into the room.
The nine year old saw Noah's hand feeling up Eric's crotch and
started his own giggling. "Hi, Eric," he said. "Noah likes your dick."

Noah let go of Eric's crotch and said, "I was just making a point."

Nicky walked up to Eric and asked if he could make a point, too. He
then grabbed Eric's crotch and started giggling more. Noah could see
it was time to change direction and yelled out, "Last one in the pool is
a four-eyed nerd."

"You're the only one with four eyes here," Eric said.

Noah laughed and ran into the kitchen, out of the sliding glass door,
and out on the patio, shedding his shirt, then his shorts as he ran.
That was all he had been wearing and he was now naked.  Eric and
Nicky were hurriedly pulling off their clothes. Nicky was wearing only
a t-shirt and a pair of Seahawk boxers. Eric could tell almost right
away that he was going to be the last one in the pool unless he
jumped in with his clothes on.

That choice became moot when his phone rang. Since he knew he'd
lost the race he stopped to pull the phone out of his pocket to answer
it, thankful that he hadn't jumped into the water; he'd forgotten about
the phone being in his pocket.

He saw that the call was from Mark, the umpire, who was answering
the voice mail he'd left. He and Mark talked back and forth. Eric
yelled, "Hey, Noah, is next Thursday okay for the train ride?"

"What time?"

Eric asked Mark for the time and said, "Mark says about one o'clock."

"We're leaving from Mayfield, right?"

"Right."

"Then I'm good."

Eric gave Mark Noah's answer and hung up, saying they would be at
the siding at the feed mart at twelve-thirty. Eric finally got undressed
and started for the pool.

"My glasses are on the table," Noah said.

"Your glasses? Do you want to wear them in the pool?"

"No, but you do. You're now the four-eyed nerd."

Eric laughed and put them on. "Damn, Noah, how do you see out of
these things?"

"I look through the lenses."

Eric set the glasses back down on the table. "That's it. You are now
getting the dunking of the century." He was quickly in the water, and
Noah was quickly under it. Noah, Nicky, and Eric were quickly
dunking, wrestling, playing grab ass, and groping each other's bare
genitals. The yelling and laughter echoed throughout the back yard.

Noah hadn't felt this good in a long time. He realized that for
whatever reason, Eric made him feel good just by being around. The
boys eventually ran out of steam and parked themselves in the
shallow end.

"So, what do you have going on next Thursday morning?" Eric asked.
He quickly wished he hadn't asked since he knew whatever it was
Noah would be doing was none of his business.

"Oh, I have an appointment with Doctor No-spine." That was Noah's
name for Dr. Sabine, the psychologist his mother had him seeing. "I
see her way too much." The thought of why he had to see her sent a
wave of sadness coursing through him. "She not only is way too
syrupy nice, her office is in Kentburg, which is just past the end of the
world. But then, Kentburg is a good place for a shrink to have an
office since the town is populated by perverts and nut cases."

Eric let the subject ride and asked Noah where the twins, Shane and
Lisa, were. "Music lessons, girlfriend visiting. You can decide on your
own which one is doing which," Noah answered. "Anyway, why do
you need to know my schedule for next Thursday?"

"Well, you hinted that you were busy Thursday morning but okay for
Thursday afternoon, so I was just curious. Sorry I asked—it was none
of my business."

"It's cool," Noah said, and he pushed off the end of the pool and
swam towards the other end. Eric followed him and soon he, Noah,
and Nicky were again yelling, laughing, and having fun. Just as they
started to wear out for the second time Lisa came out onto the deck,
wearing nothing. Eric was used to seeing Lisa naked and it didn't
have the uniqueness of the first few times he'd seen her.

The fourteen year old girl slid into the pool and swam up next to Eric.
"When are you going to sleep with me?" she asked him.

"Never, but it's nothing personal."

"Every boy, no matter how gay he thinks he is, should make love to a
girl once."

"She means you should fuck her," Noah told Eric. "Don't be so petite,"
he said to Lisa, "say what you mean."

"The same applies to you, Noah. You were almost there."

Eric looked over at Noah, who was on his right, and then back to
Lisa, who was on his left. Lisa gave him a knowing smile. But their
mutual glance didn't last long as Noah lifted himself out of the pool.
"Just shut up about that, Lisa," he yelled. "Don't talk to me about that
night again. Ever. Never."

"Noah, I know you didn't do it to me, I'm just saying you..."

"I said to shut up, didn't I?" Noah ran down the steps and into the
cabana.

"He gets touchy sometimes," she said. "But I never know what's
going to set him off."

"Did Noah sleep with you?" Eric asked.

"Yes, but not much happened. I masturbated him and then did
myself.  We both came and we slept together."

"So why is he so sensitive about it?"

"Because it was the night before the accident."

"Oh," was all Eric could think to say. He knew he had to do more than
float in the pool thinking about Noah, he had to try to help him. He
pulled himself out of the pool and walked down to the cabana. He
entered and saw Noah prone on the couch.

"Are you okay, Noah?"

"No." Noah's voice was muffled by the couch. "So go away and leave
me alone."

Eric ignored him, remembering how he had slept with Noah after the
accident, even after Noah had told him to go home. "You don't have
to talk to me, Noah, but I'm not going to go away."

Noah fought some sniffles, then turned on his side as Eric sat on the
end of the couch next to Noah's feet. "You can fuck me if you want."

Eric had no idea what brought that up. He knew he had no desire to
have sex with his friend. "I don't want to," he said.

"Why? I'm not good enough, is that it? I'm not as good as your
boyfriend who left you for some girl instead of just leaving you like
mine did."

Eric found himself stroking Noah's calf as he let his friend vent. He
worked hard not to take Noah's rant personally, which was not an
easy thing for a thirteen year old to do. "Noah, you know that's not
how it is. You know you're my friend, and you know I've liked having
sex with you. But, it just doesn't seem right."

"Why?"

"Because...because...well, because it's too soon."

"We had sex together before the accident."

"That was different. We both wanted it because we both liked each
other a lot. Plus...well, we were both horny, too, I guess."

"But now you don't like me a lot?"

As hard as he tried not to, Eric found himself starting to get angry with
Noah's attitude. "I like you more than a lot. But, I don't think we
should do sex until we both really want to."

"I want to, so why don't you want to?"

"I do want to," Eric said quietly. "I want to have sex because you're
my friend, and you're sexy, and you're good looking, and I liked
having sex with you before, and I know I'll like it again. Why do you
want to?"

Noah rolled over on his back and looked at Eric. He wasn't wearing
his glasses and Eric, who could read Noah's eyes so well, saw the
sadness in them. "Because I want to get fucked. I want somebody to
make me do sex."

"Then go look up Randy or somebody like that. I won't do it that way.
I'll have sex with you when you're ready to have sex with just me."

"I'm ready right now."

"No you're not. Where's your boner?"

A moment of silence filled the room. "You're right. Damn it, you're
right. I just want to be fucked because...hell, I don't know why. I
wanted to be bad because sometimes I think I'm a bad person."

"You're not a bad person. Why are you saying that?"

"Sometimes I get these awful thoughts in my head about what
happened. They make me feel really bad about me and about
everything. It's like something goes into my mind and gives me those
thoughts. Sometimes I think I have a demon living in my head."

"Have you told Doctor...um...you know, your shrink?"

"Dr. No-spine? No. I've told her a lot, but not what those thoughts
are."

"Will you tell me?" Since Marty had emptied his heart to Eric he found
he was thinking of himself as a repository of secrets.

"No," Noah whispered. "I will never tell anybody. Not ever."

Eric stood up. "I guess I better go home," he said.

Noah stood up as well and walked over to Eric. Noah put his arms
around him and gave his friend a big hug. The two naked boys
grabbed each other tightly in a hug that was all about friendship, but
still managed to send shivers of warmth through their pubescent
bodies. "I'm glad you're my friend," Noah said as a tear fell down his
cheek and on to Eric's shoulder. "More glad than you will ever know.
Promise you won't ever leave me."

Eric squeezed Noah tighter. "I promise," he said as he shed his own
tears. "I promise to always be here for you."

The boys finally broke apart and Eric felt much better when he saw
the hint of a smile cross Noah's face. "I'm a real mess, aren't I?"
Noah asked.

"Nah, you're no mess. You're my friend. That's all I care about." Eric
knew deep down that his visit for the day was over. This was not the
time to stay for dinner or spend the night. Yet, in the depths of his
heart, he was certain that Noah would want him to because he was
Noah's best friend, not because Noah was horny and feeling badly
about himself.

Eric went home wondering what kind of demon was haunting his
friend.

<Saturday, August 15, Eric's house>

Eric was watching the Yankees and the Tigers on television when his
phone rang. He was home alone, so he was dressed the way he liked
to be dressed when he was home alone, which was not dressed at
all. He picked his phone up off of the coffee table and smiled when he
saw who it was.

"Hey, Shelby, what's up?"

"I don't think we can come," Shelby said, sounding almost
heartbroken.

Eric felt his heart flutter. This was not the news he wanted to hear;
he'd been so looking forward to the visit. "Why not?"

"It's a long story, but  Mason's brother Garrett came with him, which
is cool since he was going to go to the ocean after we got dropped off
at your place. You know how tight those two are. Well, now it turns
out there is all kinds of adult shit going on. To make it short, nobody
has the time to take them to the ocean for a couple of days, so it's
like we have to stay and help be babysitters."

Eric's brain was turning quickly as a solution popped into his head.
"What if they came here?" Eric asked.

"They'd be in our way and we couldn't do stuff. I mean, they're cool
and all, but there would be too many of us."

"They don't have to stay here," Eric said. "I have the perfect place for
them to stay." He told Shelby what his plan was.

"Wow. Sounds like a cool idea to me," Shelby told him. "I'll ask my
parents to ask everybody else's parents and I'll get back to you."

Eric immediately called Chandler, who was home. He told Chandler
what the problem was. He could tell the eleven year old was excited
by the news. He told Eric he'd be right back. He was back in two
minutes.

"Here, talk to my dad," Chandler said. Once again, Eric outlined the
problem, this time to Coach Ecklund.

Coach Ecklund listened to Eric then asked for Shelby's phone
number. Eric gave it, then settled back and waited to see what was
going to happen. Within an hour everything was settled. Shelby,
Chase, Liam, Adam, and Mason would be staying at Eric's house,
while Garrett and Wolf would stay at Chandler's house. Eric was
positive Korey would be at Chandler's as well. He couldn't help but
wonder which place would be sexier, his with all eighth graders, or
the place with the little sixth graders.

It wasn't long after Eric talked to Chandler and Coach Ecklund that
Noah called. He asked Eric if he and his friends might want to go
swimming in his pool on Monday. "I should have asked you about it
yesterday, but I was in kind of a weird mood."

"I noticed," Eric said. "But it's cool. I bet they want to go swimming
and I know I do, so I'll say yes. I'll text Shelby to tell everybody to
bring their swimming suits, and that includes the kids staying at
Chandler's."

"Am I still good with staying the night on Tuesday?"

"Of course you are silly. You can stay both nights if you want."

The two talked some more, especially about their upcoming
locomotive cab ride. Before Eric hung up, Noah said that as long as
Lisa wasn't home they could skinny dip.

"The usual rules then," Eric said.

"Yep, the usual rules."

They hung up, both boys excited about the upcoming week.

<Monday, August 17>

Their excitement was not misplaced. The Tacoma contingent arrived
a few minutes after eleven on Monday morning. Scott had come over
to Eric's house right after breakfast and the two followed the progress
of the Tacoma contingent by phone and text messaging.

Shelby, Adam, Chase, Liam, and Mason piled out of the crowded
SUV. A sedan pulled up right behind the SUV, driven by Shelby's
father.  Garrett and Wolf hopped out of the sedan. They grabbed the
backpacks and travel bags they had brought. Shelby's mother and
father went inside to talk to Eric's mother and the boys all hugged,
high-fived, and fist bumped in their excitement.

Another SUV arrived, driven by Coach Ecklund. Chandler and Korey
bounded out and were quickly introduced to Garrett and Wolf. It was
obvious the two pairs of boys were hitting it off right from the start.
The two Tacoma eleven year olds tossed their bags into the rear of
the SUV and entered the back with Chandler and Korey.

"Wow, that looked like instant friendship," Shelby remarked. "I've
never seen four dudes hit it off so fast."

Shelby's parents came out and asked where Garrett and Wolf were.
When told they had already left with Chandler, Korey, and Chandler's
dad, they were as amazed by how fast it had happened as the boys
who witnessed the entire affair were.

Shelby, Adam, Liam, and Mason carried their bags up to Eric's room
while Scott helped Chase carry his baggage to Scott's house. Scott
and Chase soon returned to Eric's house.  Scott had his backpack
with him, which was filled with swim gear. The other boys had filled
Eric and Shelby's backpacks with their swimming gear and also
carried sundry water toys.

Eric's mother had lunch ready for them and the seven boys made
short work of the hot dogs and chips that were served up. After
eating, Eric, Scott, and Shelby hefted their backpacks onto their
backs and the group started walking to Noah's house. They arrived
just after twelve-thirty. Ikey, the family dog, gave them some friendly
barks as they entered the front yard. Noah met them at the door,
wearing only a pair of Speedos.

Eric introduced Noah to everybody and they were soon all down at
the cabana changing into their swimsuits.

"He's really cute looking," Shelby said to Eric as they both stood
naked. He was referring to Noah. "I could mess around with him no
problem."

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Eric said.

"Have you and him done stuff?"

"Yeah."

Eric was pleased that Shelby was gracious enough not to ask him
what it was they did. Shelby knew about Noah and Bobby and about
Bobby's accident. He also knew that Noah was gay.

It didn't take the boys long to get undressed and into the pool. Noah
told everybody that if Lisa hadn't been home they could've gone
skinny dipping. As it was, Lisa, Shane, and Nicky all joined the boys
in the pool and they were soon having a lot of fun swimming, sitting in
the sun, playing games, playing grab ass, and anything else we could
think of. Eric was happy to see Noah laughing and having a good
time.

Chase was drooling over Lisa, who was a very shapely fourteen year
old girl. He was thinking how he would have loved to be able to
skinny dip with her. Scott, who was on the approved skinny dipping
list, had been naked in the pool with her many times, but he had
never as much as kissed her.

After some time went by, Chase and Scott started talking to Lisa up
on the patio. The three of them then walked by the pool and
disappeared into the cabana.

"That sister of mine," Noah said. "She always wants to show off her
boobs to the boys."

"We could have probably gotten naked," Eric said. "I mean none of
your parents were home."

"Well, you know how I feel about that one," Noah replied. "I would like
to keep the skinny dipping privilege, so we can't abuse it. Mom could
come home any time."

About a half hour later Chase, Scott, and Lisa emerged from the
cabana. Lisa had her top off, just to let everybody know something
had transpired in the cabana.

"Did you get to suck her titties?" Nicky asked. "I get to do it
sometimes."

As Lisa put her top back on she reminded Nicky to mind his own
business and to keep his mouth shut about what they did. The three
of them went into the pool and Scott swam over to Eric.

"We got naked," he said. "She let us feel up her boobs and then she
jerked us off."

"Oh, I bet Tama will be happy to hear about that," Eric said, with a
touch of jealousy.

"She won't ever know, right?"

"She wouldn't know if you and me messed around, but you won't do it
with me," Eric said trying not to sound like a whiner, even though he
was whining.

"That's because I promised her I wouldn't mess around with you."

"But it's okay to let another girl jerk you off?" Eric asked incredulously.

"You wouldn't understand," Scott said.

"Damn straight I wouldn't."

Scott shook his head and pushed off. He looked for Chase so the two
of them could talk about what had transpired down in the cabana. It
was obvious to Scott that Eric's gayness made him clueless when it
came to knowing how to deal with girls.

"Hey guys," Eric said as the time crept close to four. "It's time for us to
get ready to go. Mom said we have to be home by five."

"And I know your mom expects you to be on time," Shelby said.

"You remember her pretty good," Eric said with a wide grin.

The boys headed to the cabana. Since the large shower stall had
three shower heads it didn't take much time for them to clean off the
chlorine and get dressed. Noah and his siblings didn't come in to
shower with them.

Noah saw them all to the front door and Eric invited him to spend the
night, but Noah declined. "You have fun with your old friends, and I'll
come over tomorrow to corrupt them."

They managed to go through the front door of Eric's house right at
five. Even though Chase was going to be spending the night at
Scott's house, he and Scott were having dinner at Eric's. They both
hung around to play games and raise general young teen hell for a
couple of hours afterward.

<Monday, August 17, Chandler's house>

Ironically, things were a bit wilder at the pool at Chandler's house
than the one at Noah's house. The eleven year olds swam naked for
one thing, and they seemed to have a higher level of horniness than
the thirteen year olds at Noah's did, or so it appeared on the surface.

The four boys had hit it off immediately, and once they found out
nobody had any objections, they played catch and grab games,
groping each other's little boy dicks, which were sometimes soft and
sometimes hard.

They dressed for dinner, which was barbequed hamburgers, cooked
up by Coach Ecklund, with the accoutrements put together by Mrs.
Ecklund. After dinner they swam some more and later went inside
and played games.

Around eight they retired to the four-man tent they had set up during
the afternoon in the field behind the house. That was where they
planned to spend the next two nights. The four of them discovered
that they really liked each other in a lot of ways. Chandler and Korey
had learned from Eric that Wolfe and Garrett knew what sex was all
about.

The battery powered lantern had the interior of the tent well lit. The
tent was warm enough on the summer evening that the boys were
comfortable being naked. They spent the evening comparing their
hairless cocklets, feeling each other's junk, rubbing chests and
nipples, fingering each other's asses, and telling about their sexual
experiences. As they got more at ease with each other, they started
exchanging friendly kisses.

The only one of the four who wasn't completely dry was Wolf. He was
often able to squeeze out a clear drop or two of cum when he had an
orgasm, and he was very proud of his emissions. It wasn't something
that prevented him from having multiple orgasms, and all four boys
enjoyed the pleasure that numerous orgasms allowed them to have.
The dry cums were all the result of jerking each other off, dry
humping, fucking a partner between his legs, and some oral sex.

Before they fell asleep in exhaustion, they all agreed that they wanted
to take things farther the next night, and that they wanted to be a bit
more organized and a bit less spontaneous.

<Scott's house, same evening>

Scott was pleased that Chase wanted to spend the night with him.
Chase told him he wasn't interested in having a circle jerk, or
watching guys suck each other off, or doing even more together.
Scott agreed, so the two spent the evening getting to know each
other better by playing games and watching television.

Scott's sister, Lindy, did exert a great deal of energy flirting with
Chase, and Chase returned the favor.

"Do you think your sister would do anything with me?" Chase asked
as the two boys retired to Scott's room. "She is really fine."

Scott was surprised about the pang of jealousy that shot through him.
For some reason he wanted Chase to himself and wanted his sister
left out of the equation.

"Lindy has a regular boyfriend," Scott said, as if that answered
everything.

"Well, she was looking at me, like, you know, she wanted me or
something."

"She does that to everybody. She's a horny bitch."

That got both boys to giggling as they undressed. "I mean I know I'm
just thirteen and everything," Chase said, "but I bet I could show her
that I'm a man. It's not like I haven't messed around with girls."

Scott was down to his boxers and his cock was hard. He quickly
adjusted himself, a motion that Chase noticed. "I know," Scott said. "I
saw you playing around with Lisa's boobs this afternoon."

"Damn that was fun. And it's not like you didn't rub and lick them.
She's got a nice pair of jugs."

"My sister's are bigger."

"You've seen them? I mean, when she wasn't wearing anything."

"Duh, we live together."

"Have you touched them?"

"A couple of times."

"Damn, makes me wish I had a sister. Have you guys been, like,
naked together?"

"Yeah." Scott was feeling sorry he had steered the conversation in
this direction. He should have left his sister completely out of it. He
steered the chat back to Lisa in the cabana. "That was awesome
when you pulled off her bottoms."

"I was so hard I thought my dick was going to pop right out of my
swimming suit."

"Taking it off helped that problem in a hurry," Scott said with a
chuckle. "You got a nice one by the way."

"You mean my dick?"

"Yeah, it's pretty big and you have lots of hair."

"Same with you. This talking about naked girls has got me all hard,"
Chase said.

"Me too." Scott pulled down his boxers to reveal a boner that was
pushing five inches. "I know I won't be able to sleep until I take care
of this monster," Scott said.

"Yeah, I know what you mean."

Both boys were quickly naked and lying across Scott's bed. The two
thirteen year olds started jerking off. They had each jerked off with
friends and done more than that with other guys, so even though they
were now almost totally into girls they weren't self-conscious about
jerking off with another guy.

They talked about girls and what they'd done with a girl as they took
care of business. Scott made sure not to let it slip that he wasn't a
virgin. He didn't want to tell Chase that he had lost his virginity to his
sister. But Chase didn't ask and soon it didn't make any difference as
they both concentrated on their hard teen boners while casting an
occasional glance at each other in action. Chase came first, firing
some fairly thick cum over his torso as he moaned with pleasure.
Scott followed him by twenty seconds. His cum was not quite as
mature, but it was very plentiful. The two of them agreed as to how
good it felt as they cleaned themselves up. Chase crawled into his
sleeping bag, which was on a small mattress on the floor, and Scott
climbed into his bed. The two talked a little bit more and soon fell into
a sound sleep.

<Eric's house, same evening>

Girls were not the topic for the five boys at Eric's house, but jerking
off was. The sexual adventures they'd had with boys since they last
talked face-to-face was a huge topic.

"Sorry about you and Scott," Shelby said to Eric. "I was sure you two
were forever. But then I thought me and Chase were forever, too. But
at least we're all good friends."

"I'm still kinda bummed about it. But, yeah, I still have Scott as a
friend. I mean it's not like Noah who..." Eric couldn't go on from there,
but everybody got the idea.

"Liam said you're chasing girls, Mason," Shelby said. "Why do you
want to do that when you got cute guys like us around."

"I'm just trying to figure things out," Mason said. "It's not like I have
sex with them or anything. I mean I have sex with my brother and
with my friend Andrew and with Andrew's big brother and with my
friend Curtis and with my brother's friend John, and with Liam, and
with everybody here but Eric."

The other boys laughed and Liam planted a big kiss on Mason's
cheek. "Just remember who got you into sex," Liam said. "You should
always reward him for doing you such a big favor." It was Liam who
showed Mason all about sex on a train trip to Chicago. It was on that
train that the two of them met. Mason lived in Seattle while Liam,
Shelby, Chase, and Adam lived in Tacoma.

"You never let me forget it," Mason said, "which is why my stomach is
always full of your cum."

All five boys were naked and playing with themselves. "Are we going
to do more than just jerk off?" Liam asked.

"Let's do what we can tonight. I don't know how much Noah will want
to do tomorrow. It's only been a month since the accident and I don't
want to push him to do stuff," Eric said. Still, Eric was a bit afraid of
being the odd man out if they paired up.

He needn't have worried as Shelby said, "Noah is pretty cool. I like
him. He's funny."

"Yeah, but he could've been here tonight," Liam said.

"He said he wanted us to have time together just to ourselves."

"Sounds a little lame to me," Liam said.

Eric gave Liam a glare and said, "Noah's had it pretty rough this
summer. Before the accident he would have been here leading the
sex. I'm happy he's coming tomorrow, that means he's getting better.
I just don't want him to feel he's going to be left out."

Liam apologized, saying he didn't know how close Noah and Bobby
were and how much it was affecting him. "He seemed okay at the
pool," Liam said, feeling badly about his criticism of Eric's friend.

"Are you worried about being left out?" Shelby asked Eric.

"What do you mean?"

"I count five boners, which is an odd number and not divisible by two.
So I mean you're worried me and Adam will pair up and Liam and
Mason will pair up, and you'll be sleeping in your bed all alone with
your dick in your hand." Eric's flushed face told Shelby all he needed
to know.

"Me and Adam talked it over before we even knew about Noah. You
and me are sleeping together tonight. I mean we did have our first
cums together back when we were little kids." Shelby was referring to
how they jerked off together late in fifth and early in sixth grades
before Eric moved to Mayfield. "And you taught me a few things last
summer down in my bedroom." Eric had taken Shelby's cherry during
that visit.

Eric looked around the room. He'd forgotten what good friends
Shelby and Adam had been, as well as Chase, when he lived in
Tacoma. He hadn't met Liam and Mason until last summer, and he
considered them good friends now, too. But Shelby and Adam were
special, especially Shelby. Eric looked at his old friend, at his slender
body, his dark, unruly hair, his still hairless groin, and felt surges of
desire flow through him. Shelby was not only a great friend; he was
also incredibly cute and sexy.

Liam had a bush of hair and some squiggly peach fuzz under his
arms, Mason was still hairless like Eric and Shelby were, and Adam
had some wispy pubes. Eric couldn't believe he had such sexy and
great friends. He realized how fortunate he was to have them. He
also realized that the boys of Mayfield weren't the only eighth graders
in the world who claimed to be gay.

Eric knew there was sex happening on the floor. He could see and
sense the bodies rolling around as the three boys humped and kissed
and sucked. But his focus was on Shelby. He had taken Shelby's
cherry during his visit to Tacoma last summer. That had been a fun
and very sexy experience. But on this night, as he fucked the tight
ass of his old friend, the experience was even sexier. He came in
Shelby's ass, and afterward they both lay in the watery cum Shelby
had spewed on the sheets. Eric was happy with how the night had
gone. He wished he and Shelby still lived close to each other, for he
was indeed one of his very best friends. He wondered, not for the first
time, if he and Shelby would have become boyfriends if he hadn't
moved to Mayfield.

All five boys fell asleep satisfied and wrapped around somebody
special.

Next: Eric and Noah
