Josh and Brad Chapter 1


	Josh is 19 and his brother Micheal is 16. Micheal' best friend Brad
is also 16. Micheal and Brad have been best friends since as long as they
can remember. They live next door to each other and since Brad's parents
are away a lot, Brad spends most of his time at Micheal's house.

	By growing up best friends it was more like they were brothers.
Josh on the other hand cares deeply for both his brother and Brad. But he
sees Brad in a different way.

	Josh has known for a long time that he was gay. He isn't ready for
anybody to know just yet. But he has had feelings for Brad since they were
much younger. For now he spends as much time with the boy as he can without
it seeming to be more then friends. Since Brad spends most of his time at
Josh and Micheal's house, it hasn't been so hard to see him.

	Josh can remember the first time he thought of Brad in this new
way.

	It was Micheal's 11th birthday party. Micheal had a sleep over on a
Friday night for his birthday. There were several friends of Micheal's
sleeping over. Most of them were boys he knew almost as long as he knew
Brad. They were all part of this group that were always found together.
Where one boy was, no doubt you would find the others.

	The party was as you would expect. The boys played outside until
dinner. Micheal's parents had bought pizza and chips for the party and of
course a birthday cake for Micheal as desert. The boys stuffed themselves
on food and soda.

	After the party, the boys went downstairs to the rec room to play
video games, watch movies and just be boys. They had set up their sleeping
bags so that they could all stay up as late as they wanted without keeping
up the whole house.

	Josh, even though he was a teenager, was very close to his brother
and the others in the group. He was a welcome addition to the group, but
felt like he would be intruding on his brothers fun if he slept with the
group of boys. He joined in the fun, but before it was too late, he went
upstairs to watch TV and allow his brother to enjoy his birthday with his
friends and not have his older brother looking over his shoulder.

	Josh had gotten engrossed in a marathon of his favorite show on TV
and hadn't realized how late it was. He had been watching the show for
several hours and it was now almost 2am. He shut the TV off and decided he
would check on the boys before he went to bed himself.

	As he made the trip down the stairs to the basement rec room the
first thing he noticed was that all the boys were passed out. The TV was on
some Sci-Fi movie with the volume down low. All the lights were off and it
appeared the boys had worn themselves out.

	As he turned to go up stairs to his room he thought he heard a
small whimper. He stopped and listened again. Sure enough this time he
heard muffled crying. He slowly walked around the room trying to follow the
sounds. As he continued around the room, in a back corner of the basement,
barely viable was one of the boys hiding in a corner behind a large stack
of boxes that were stored there.

	In the dim light from the TV it wasn't until he was knelling right
in front of the boy before he realized it was Brad. Brad was huddled in the
corner with his knees pulled up to his chest with his head down berried in
his arms.

	"Hey Brad, what is it buddy" Josh asked

	Brad wouldn't speak, he just continued to cry. "Come on buddy whats
wrong?" Josh tried again.

	Brad looked up from his lap and look right into Josh's eyes. Josh
felt, right then that he loved Brad. Not only that, but he was in love with
him. Josh already new by now that he was gay. But he never felt for anyone
like he felt for Brad. What ever the issue was, Josh was going to make it
better. No MATTER what it was.

	After a little more coaxing by Josh, Brad spoke "I wet my pants and
my sleeping bag" he said.

	Josh knew not to laugh. He knew that at 11 years old, no matter how
good a friends all the boys were, Brad would have been teased.  And at that
age nothing was more devastating to a young boy, then to be known as a bed
wetter.

	Josh, of course, was relieved that this was all it was. It was
something, with a little help from him, could be fixed with no worries. At
least it wasn't something that Josh couldn't handle.

	Josh reached out his hand to Brad. "Brad, come with me" he said.

	Brad took Josh's hand and stood up. They made their way to the
steps and picked up Brad's sleeping bag on their way by the boys. Still
holding hands, the boys made their way to the laundry room first.

	Josh took Brad's sleeping bag and loaded it into the extra large
washer. He got on his knees and helped Brad take off his T-shirt and
underwear and he added them to the washer.  He set the washer, then went to
take Brads hand again.

	 Even thought everyone else was asleep and they were alone, Brad
looked very worried about being naked out in the open. Josh just leaned
down, kissed Brad's cheek and lifted him up and carried Brad to his bedroom
where he had his own bathroom. It was great that his parents where so well
off. Each bedroom in their home had it's own bathroom and one downstairs
for visitors.

	To keep Brad's embarrassment to a minimum, Josh walked quickly to
his bathroom and sat Brad on the edge of the bathtub. Josh quickly turned
on the shower and toyed with the faucets to get the water to a safe
temperature for Brad. While the water was warming, Josh sat next to Brad on
the edge of the tub and spoke the first words they said to each other since
the basement.

	"Brad while your clothes and sleeping bag are washing, I want you
to take a quick shower" he said.  "I will go over to Micheal's room and
grab a pair of shorts, underwear and a T-shirt for you to wear."

	"Josh, thank you for doing all this. Your not going to tell the
guys that I wet the bed are you?" Brad asked, already tearing up again.

	"Hey babe" Josh said while wrapping the boy in a hug. "I would
never do that to you. Sometimes these things happen. Nobody will ever find
out about this. I promise" Josh said. Brad cried softly for a couple of
minutes more while hugging Josh, then climbed into the shower to get all
cleaned off.

	While Brad was getting cleaned off. Josh went to his brother's
room. The boys spent so much time together that Brad actually had some
clothes of his own in Micheal's room. It was easy to just grab a set of his
own clothes rather then having to explain why Brad was wearing Micheal's
clothes in the morning.

	By the time he got back to his bathroom, Brad was getting out of
the shower and toweling off. Josh had left the bathroom door almost all the
way open but didn't want to just walk in and make the boy feel any more
ashamed. He softly knocked on the door frame as he poked his head in and
waved the set of closed at Brad.

	Brad, who no longer had a look of total devastation on his face,
walked over and took the clothes from Josh and started to get dressed. Josh
was so glad he was still awake to help the boy. He was beginning to realize
he really cared for Brad.

	He may have only been fourteen years old and he may not have know
what it was truly that he felt for the boy. But he did know he cared about
him a lot.

	Josh noticed that, now that Brad was dressed, he was looking very
tired. They still had to wait for the sleeping bag to finish washing and
drying. So Josh took Brad to his bed and pulled his sheet and comforter
back.

	"Why don't you lay down with me while the laundry finishes." Josh
said. "You might fall asleep so if anyone asks in the morning, we will just
tell them that when I came down to check on the boys, you were the only one
awake so I invited you to watch movies with me. While getting you ready to
come upstairs with me, I spilled my drink on your sleeping bag and we
needed to wash it. This way you can sleep with me and no one will ask any
questions"

	Josh was figuring that the boys wouldn't make fun of Brad for
sleeping with Josh since they all had slept over at one time or another in
Micheal's bed.

	"But Josh, what if I wet the bed again?" Brad asked, starting to
get teary again.

	"No worries little man" Josh said. "Our washer and dryer were made
to be used" he said with a little smile.

	"But what if I pee on you?" Brad added.

	"Hey, the shower likes to be used too." Josh said, trying to
eliminate the boys fears.

	Brad seemed to lighten up a little after that. He took his shirt
and shorts off leaving only his white briefs on, and climbed into the bed
under the covers, against the wall. He looked so cute and excited to be
sleeping with the older boy.

	Josh got undressed and climbed into the bed as well, sleeping on
the edge. Once in bed on his back, Brad cuddled up under Joshes right arm
and put his head on Josh's chest. Before Josh could even say goodnight, the
boy was asleep. Josh just wrapped his arm around the back of Brad and put
his hand on the small boys hip. Within a few minutes, he also was asleep.


	The next morning Josh woke up to what he thought, in his grogginess
was a giggle. As he opened his eyes, he saw his brother standing next to
his bed.

	"Hey, morning bro." Josh said to his brother.

	"Morning Josh. Mom's got breakfast started. The rest of the guys
are already up. Why don't you come down for breakfast? He said, still
grinning like a Cheshire cat.

	"Sure sounds great. What are you grinning at?" Josh asked his
brother, trying to figure out what the joke was.

	"Nothing. When I got up I didn't know where Brad had gone. I was a
little scarred this morning and was going to come wake you to help me find
him, but when I came into your room I found him sleeping with you. The
funny thing is, that was about an hour ago. I come in here now to wake you
up and you two are sleeping in the same position as before. I just find
that funny, that's all." Micheal said still grinning that grin. " Now hurry
up before you both miss whatever food they guys have left for us." and with
that Micheal was out the door before Josh could say anything.

	As he looked over for the first time since he woke up he realized
that, indeed, Brad was still asleep with his head on Josh's chest. Josh
still had his arm around Brad resting on Brad's hip. They hadn't moved the
entire night.

	Josh wanted to just stay that way forever. But if he didn't get
them up, his mother would be in asking what was going on. He trusted his
parents but wasn't ready for the questions that would undoubtedly
come. After all, his parents were quite a bit older then his brother and
much more difficult to fool. So reluctantly he shook Brad awake.

	"Hey babe, time to get up" Josh said, hoping the boy didn't catch
the babe part. He had got to remember to be more careful and think before
he speaks.

	Brad for his part, slowly opened his eyes and tried to focus on
Josh. Slowly the previous night came back to him and he remembered what had
happened. The first thing he did was reach down and make sure he didn't wet
Josh's bed. After finding he was dry, he quickly looked at Josh to see if
he was noticed and embarrassingly found Josh looking at him.

	"Not to worry my little man, all is dry" Josh said with a smile.

	Brad felt better. He really liked Josh. Last night was just the
last of a long line of nice things the older boy had done for him. Brad
always felt cared for by Micheal and his family. But Josh always seemed to
go out of his way to show Brad attention. He didn't understand it, but he
knew he liked it.

	The boys got up and dressed to see if the others had left them
anything for breakfast. By the time they made it downstairs Josh's mom was
putting bacon and eggs on plates for the boys. With the good mornings out
of the way and a quick telling of the story Josh made up for last night,
the boys were all themselves, one typical group of boys.

	Now it's five years later and Josh knows now what he didn't no
then. Not only does he love Brad, but he thinks he is in love with him
too. He may not understand the difference, but he knows the love he has for
Brad is different and somehow more then the love he has for Micheal, his
brother.
