Leo and Jase
Chapter 26

      Jase stepped inside Leo's apartment, noticing that the door was
unlocked. He rushed in out of the snow into the warmth. He removed his coat
and hung it up in the closet and shook the snow off of him. He shivered and
looked down when he noticed a candle at his feet and a note slipped under
it.  He bent down and picked it up, reading it carefully.

Come and fine me...

Jase smiled slyly and walked over to the kitchen door, pushing it open and
peering inside. A note sat on the counter under another candle. He walked
over to it and picked it up, keeping it under the dim light of the candle
as he read.

Not here, J. Keep looking.

Jase was beginning to get excited. He dropped the note and rushed out of
the kitchen towards the hall that led to Leo's room. He ran to the door and
stopped when he saw another note. Light from a window in the room behind
him shone only on the note as he pulled it off of the door.

Getting hotter...

Jase smiled and slowly turned the doorknob and pushed it open. His heart
skipped a beat when he looked into Leo's room. The room was lit only by the
hundreds of candles that were lining the room and on the tables. Jase
looked around and saw no sign of Leo. Suddenly, he felt two arms slide
around his waist. He put his hands on them and then slid them so that his
fingers interlocked with the fingers of the arms around him. He knew who it
was and he smiled, leaning his head back against Leo's shoulder. Leo placed
small kisses on the back of Jase's neck and then kissed up to his ear,
nibbling on the lobe. Jase moaned softly and bit his lower lip.
      It seemed as if it were a dream, but it felt so real. It felt so
right and warm. Jase's heart thudded with excitement as Leo continued to
nibble and suck on his earlobe. He loved that and Leo knew it. It was
driving him insane. Then Leo stopped and whispered softly, "I've been
waiting for you."  A sharp tingle went all through Jase's body as he felt
the warm breath on his ear. He turned and looked into Leo's eyes, staring
into them, telling Leo through his own eyes exactly what he wanted to
say. Leo just smiled and nodded. Jase returned the smile, knowing that Leo
understood and he leaned in, pressing his lips softly against Leo's,
leading into a soft, sensual kiss that soon led to a hard, passionate
one. Their tongues wrestled and explored the other's mouth. Their lips
intertwined and their bodies pressed against each other.
      Jase began to back away, not pulling away from the kiss, until he was
at the edge of the bed. Then, he broke away and smiled into Leo's eyes.  He
slowly descended onto the bed, pushing himself so that he was all the way
on and Leo soon followed, crawling over him slowly. Everything seemed to be
going in slow motion as if time was slowing just for them, so that they
could savor each and every moment. Jase slowly laid back and Leo brought
his lips back to Jase's and pressing them against his. Jase had never felt
anything like the touch of Leo's lips on his own. They seemed to surge with
electricity, leaving a tingle in Jase's lips that he wanted more of. Leo
pulled away and stared deeply into Jase's eyes and with a smile, he removed
his shirt and threw it on the floor.
      Soon thereafter, Jase sat up just long enough for Leo to pull his
shirt up over his head and throw it with his own. Jase laid back down,
smiling up at Leo. Within in moments, they had discarded all of their
clothes and their hot, naked forms were pressed against each other as they
were lost in another passionate kiss. The kiss was so smooth, like warm
milk, lulling Jase into a state of unawareness of anything else around him
except this beauty that was holding him, and kissing him. Leo soon began
placing soft kisses all over Jase's neck and then his chest, lingering at
the nipples and teasing them with his tongue. Jase writhed with pleasure as
he felt Leo's lips on his body. He'd never felt so warm.
      Jase brought his hands down and pulled Leo's face so that their eyes
were locked. Leo smiled and slid slowly upward and placed a soft kiss on
Jase's forehead. He then looked to Jase for reassurance. Jase nodded and
smiled lovingly up at his beautiful Angel. Leo nodded slowly and then
slowly spread Jase's legs, moving in between them and lifting him up
slightly.  Jase laid back in anticipation. He thought he'd be scared, but
he wasn't at all.  Leo slowly brought his member to Jase's tight entrance
and he began slowly pressing in. Jase closed his eyes and bit his lower
lip. As he adjusted to the feeling, Leo continued, slowly and gently. A few
moments later, Leo filled Jase with his being and stopped for a moment. He
looked down at Jase and Jase just smiled up at him.

"I knew we fit together." Leo simply whispered. Jase smiled and Leo took
Jase's hand in his. He slowly began making love to Jase, gently and
smoothly.

Jase felt a wave of electricity and pleasure flow through him with every
movement inside him. The whole world melted around him and all he could do
was feel this amazing feeling that completed his soul. Never had he felt so
alive and yet everything seemed so surreal. He felt Leo tense up inside of
him and he opened his eyes.

"I Love you, Jase." Leo whispered.

"I wonder what he's dreaming about," Jeremy whispered to Leo. Leo shrugged
and looked back down at his sleeping beauty. Jase had the sweetest smile on
his face and the expression was unexplainable. It was an expression of pure
and utter bliss. Jeremy shrugged and stood up, walking out of the room.
Leo watched him go and then looked back down at Jase. He leaned down and
lightly pressed his lips onto Jase's forehead.

"I Love you, Jase." Leo whispered softly. Jase sighed and tighted his grip
around Leo's waist. Leo pulled the blanket up further around them and
looked out the window at the lightly falling snow.

Leo and Jeremy sat in the kitchen of Ben's apartment, Leo drinking coffee
and staring out the window contently while Jeremy ate a bowl of soup and
flipped through a magazine. The kitchen door swung open and in popped Jase
with a huge grin on his face. He walked over to Leo, actually it was almost
a skip, and placed a soft kiss on Leo's lips.

"Good Morning." Jase cooed cheerfully. He smiled at Jeremy and then went
into the refridgerator, pulling out a carton of orange juice.

"What are you so chipper about?" Jeremy asked with an amused expression on
his face. Jase shrugged as got a glass out of the cabinet and poured his
orange juice.

"Just in a good mood, i guess." Jase replied.

"So what did you dream about, J?" Leo asked, knowing that it must have
something to do with the sudden gleefullness of Jase's mood. Jase looked up
at him, trying to conceal the grin on his face, but failing.

"Oh, nothing..just good dreams." He covered it up and a small smile began
to creep its way across his face. Leo shot him a confused look and just
watched as he sat next to him and took a sip of his orange juice. Jase
scooted closer to Leo and slid his hand under Leo's arm and laid his head
down on Leo's shoulder, closing his eyes and breathing in the faint smell
of Leo's cologne.

He sighed and then took another sip of his juice.


Christmas was rapidly approaching. The spirit of it floated through the air
all over town. The snow fell, soft carols played downtown from the packed
shops, and colorful lights lined every tree, bush, and rooftop.

      Leo, Jase, Jeremy, and Josh sat around the fire at Jase's house.

Jeremy and Josh played a video racing game, Jase read a book and Leo
flipped through a magazine. Leo found little ways to look at Jase
occasionally. He would pretend to scratch his nose and glance over at
him. Jase sat there reading, unaware, zoned into the world that the book
created. He pushed his glasses up on his nose. 'He looks so cute in his
glasses,' Leo thought to himself as he began to stare. He caught himself
and set down the magazine. He stood up and made his way out of the
room. Jase noticed and watched as Leo walked away. He smiled to himself and
bit his lower lip.

      Leo stepped into the bathroom and stepped up to the mirror. He sighed
and gave himself a onceover in the mirror. He bent over and splashed some
cold water on his face. He stood back up and wiped his face with a towel.

Two arms slowly slid around his waist and he was pulled into a gentle
hug. He smiled and then turned to face Jase who looked at him slyly. Leo
smiled and leaned in, pressing his lips against Jase's. THe kiss escalated
into a heat of passion. Leo's hands roamed Jase's body as did Jase's hands
on Leo's body.

The mirror even started to fog up a bit. Leo whirled them around and with
Jase's help, picked him up and set him on the counter, standing in between
his legs. He leaned up and began kissing Jase again passionately. Jase
wrapped his arms around Leo's neck and returned the kiss hungrily. He
couldn't keep away from Leo.


Jeremy slammed the game controller down on the ground in a fit of
frustration. Josh laughed at him mockingly.

"Ha ha, you got beat by a 12 year old you big dork," Josh teased. Jeremy
rolled his eyes. The phone began to ring. Once, then twice, then three
times.

"Is someone going to get that?" Jeremy called out, just then realizing Jase
and Leo's absense. He groaned and jogged over to the phone, picking it up.

"Hello, Burke residence," Jeremy answered, annoyed.

"Jeremy?" a voice asked, surprised.

"Yea? Who's this?" Jeremy asked, not recognizing the voice right away.

"It's Kenny! We met at Jase's little performance, remember?" Kenny replied
enthusiastically.

"Of course I remember..how could I forget?" Jeremy asked. He realized what
he had just said and then tried to make it not sound so pathetic. "I mean,
it wasn't all that long ago." His face was bright red.

Kenny chuckled, "Yea, I gotcha man."

"I'll get Jase..." Jeremy said, trying to hold back his embarrassment.

"Jase!  Where are you? Pick up the phone!" Jeremy yelled through the house.

"No, actually I was calling about you anyway." Kenny stopped him. Jeremy
took a step back.

"What?" He swallowed.

"Yea, I was calling to ask about you. You seem cool and I was wondering if
maybe you, uh, wanted to hang out sometime while you're still in town?"
Kenny asked. His voice shook a little bit, but Jeremy didn't seem to
notice.

"Um...yea, I'd love that! I mean, that'd be cool." Jeremy tried to hold
back his excitement. Why was he so excited to see Kenny? Anyway, he was and
he could barely contain it.

"Great! How bout tomorrow we go get a bite to eat and maybe head to the
mall outside of town and get some Christmas shopping done. I have loads of
gifts to buy still." Kenny suggested.

"Sound's great! Yea, I'm sure you're having trouble with what to buy your
girlfriend." Jeremy slipped that one in cleverly. Kenny seemed to chuckle,
or was it a cough?  "I don't have a girlfriend." Kenny replied nervously.

"Oh. My mistake."

"It happens," Kenny replied. "So I'll come by Leo's apartment and pick you
up, ok?"

"Sounds good!" Jeremy exclaimed.

"Alright, see ya!"

"Later!" Jeremy hung up the phone and smiled to himself. Maybe he had a
chance.

"Leo, we shouldn't. Jeremy and Josh are going to wonder where we went."
Jase whispered as Leo placed kisses all over his neck and chest that was
now revealed since Leo unbuttoned the first few buttons in Jase's shirt.

"They're playing that stupid game. They'll never even notice we're gone."
Leo mumbled as he continued to kiss Jase. Jase licked his lips and caught
his breath.

"I thought I heard the phone ring."

"Jeremy will get it."

"But..." Leo stopped Jase by placing another kiss on his lips and lingering
there. Jase moaned softly and returned the kiss. Leo then pulled away and
went back to planting sweet kisses on his neck.

"Leo...we should go back out there." Jase persisted.

"Do you really want to?" Leo challenged, not stopping. Jase bit his lip and
ran his fingers through Leo's hair.

"No..but we shouldn't.." Jase whimpered. Leo stopped finally and smiled up
at Jase. He leaned up and placed one last kiss on Jase's lips before
helping him down and opening the bathroom door. He peered down the hallway
to see if anyone was around and then motioned for Jase to come out as
well. Leo ran his hand through his hair to smooth is out and Jase quickly
buttoned up his shirt. They walked out, giddy. Jeremy looked up and rolled
his eyes at them.

"So I heard you two were making out in the bathroom. Real classy." Jeremy
teased. They both flushed red.

"Josh heard you when he went by and he came in and told me." Jeremy
explained. They turned even redder and then suddenly burst out into a fit
of laughter. Jeremy rolled his eyes and picked up the magazine Leo was
reading.

"Did I hear the phone ring earlier?" Jase asked, regaining his composure.

"Oh..yea." Jeremy replied vaguely.

"Who was it?" Jase urged.

"Oh..um..Kenny."

Jase looked surprised.

"And..." Jase continued.

"We're gonna hang out tomorrow." Jeremy mumbled.

"Oh well that's cool. You've made a new friend!" Leo encouraged. Jase shot
Jeremy a strange look.

"So you're going out with Kenny tomorrow, huh?" Jeremy shot him a 'don't u
dare' look.

"Gosh, Jase, you make it sound like a date." Leo joked. Jeremy turned back
to his magazine awkwardly and Jase looked away as well. Leo stopped
laughing.

"Wait a minute.. is it a date?" Leo asked, shooting a stare at Jeremy for
answers.

"No! We're just going to hang out." Jeremy's face was bright red.

"Yea, I mean, you're not even gay." Leo breathed out and brushed it off.

Jeremy smiled slightly and then went back to reading. Jase still looked
away from Leo. Jeremy then took a deep breath.

"Leo.."

"Yea, Jerms?"

"I have to tell you something."

"What's that?" Leo took a seat across from Jeremy and leaned in to show
that Jeremy had his undevided attention. Jase leaned against the counter
next to Leo and listened intently. Jeremy glanced at Jase who gave him a
look of encouragement.

"Leo...I'm...gay." Jeremy finally spit out. Leo's eyes widened in surprise.

"You're what?" Leo choked.

"I'm...gay." Jeremy said it again, this time it was easier. It felt good to
get out of his system. Leo thought for a second and then spoke again.

"Since when? I mean, you dated that girl for 2 years."

Jase looked at Jeremy funny and Jeremy shook his head as if saying, 'don't
ask'.

"I know..I mean..i still like girls..i guess..," Jeremy stuttered, "But I
like guys more." Leo sat there dumbfounded.

"Well, this is news to me. But more power to ya, Jerms!" Leo laughed, still
a little surprised by it all. "So is this thing with Kenny a date? U know,
he's gay too."

Jeremy looked at Jase, surprised. He hadn't really thought much about it.

He knew he liked Kenny a lot, but he figured he was straight automatically.

"He is?" Jeremy asked softly.

"Yea, he's in love with Leo!" Jase rolled his eyes. Leo shook his head when
Jeremy's face dimmed.

"Was..and i wouldn't call it love. He had a thing for me, but its over
now."

Leo assured him, shooting a look at Jase. Jase shied away.

"Whatever, it's not a date anyhow. We're just gonna hang out." Jeremy went
back to the magazine. Leo shrugged and Jase was skeptical, but they let the
subject drop.


The next day, Jeremy scrambled around Leo's apartment in a rush. He had
woken up late and Kenny would be there any moment. He rushed around clad in
only a pair of boxerbriefs and tank top. He had his toothbrush in his mouth
as he searched through his suitcase for something to wear. A knock on the
door.

"Comin!" He yelled as he made his way to the door. The door swung open and
there stood Kenny with a friendly smile on his face.

"Hey..sorry. I woke up so late this morning, so I'm kind of a mad man right
now." Jeremy apologized, motioning for Kenny to come it. Kenny stepped
inside and watched as Jeremy walked back to his suitcase that sat on the
couch in the living room. He couldn't help but notice Jeremy's toned butt
through the tight boxerbriefs.

"Oh...that's..really ok." Kenny quickly looked away and began removing his
coat. Jeremy turned and gave him a quick smile.

"I'll be right back. Make yourself at home." Jeremy scooted his stuff off
of the couch and Kenny smiled in thanks. He waited until Jeremy had left
the room til he sat down. He watched intently as Jeremy walked away, taking
in the sight. He bit his lip.

'Damn,' Kenny thought to himself, smiling. Soon thereafter, Leo walked in.

"Hey Kenny," he greeted, yawning. He sat down, only wearing his boxers and
a robe that hung open lazily. Kenny looked up at Leo and all the feelings
rushed back to him. He quickly looked away.

"Hi," he said sharply. He stared straight ahead. He couldn't do this. Leo
was in love with Jase. But you always want what you can't have. Leo turned
on the TV and began watching.

"So what are your plans for today?" Leo asked, making conversation after
the silence became to much. Kenny still didn't look at him.

"We're gonna catch a bite to eat and then go get some Christmas shopping
out of the way." Kenny explained simply. Leo nodded and looked back at the
TV.

"Sounds cool." Kenny nodded. Jeremy finally walked in.

"Ok, I'm ready now. Sorry bout that!" He apologized once again. Kenny
looked up at him and smiled, standing up.

"It's no problem," Kenny smiled. 'Gosh he's beautiful. I can see the family
resemblence,' Kenny thought. He quickly shook the thoughts out of his brain
and then headed towards the door, putting his coat back on.

"I'll see ya later on tonight, Leo." Jeremy explained, "You sure you don't
mind watching Jordan until Aunt Julia gets home?" Jeremy asked. Leo smiled
and shrugged.

"It's cool. Me and Jordan need some quality time. You know how I just love
playing Barbies!" Leo said with fake enthusiasm. Jeremy rolled his eyes.

"Naw, I'm just kiddin' cuz. We'll go play in the snow, maybe go get some
hot cocoa out somewhere." Leo assured him. "Have a good time you two. Don't
do anything I wouldn't do." Leo joked.

"And exactly what is it that you won't do, cuz?" Jeremy smiled, crossing
his arms over his chest. Leo shot him a dirty look and shooed him away.

Jeremy nodded and laughed.

"I'll see ya round, Leo." Kenny waved. Leo smiled at him with that famous
smile.

"Yea, later Kenny!"

Leo heard tiny footsteps padding down the hall towards him. Within seconds
Jordan flung her arms around Leo from behind.

"Good morning, LEO!" She squealed.

"What is with you and morning, girl?" Leo teased, pulling her over the back
of the couch and tickling her mercilessly. She giggled uncontrollably.

"Stop it stop it," She screamed between laughs. He ceased and she collapsed
on his lap.

"So where's Bubba?" She asked, looking around.

"Oh, he went out with a friend." Leo replied, "That means its just you and
me!" Leo smiled.

"Yay! We can play all day!" Jordan squealed.

"Yea!" Leo agreed.

"Leo?" Jordan asked softly.

"Yea?" Leo answered, looking back up at the TV.

"Are you and Jase married?" She asked in a too-sweet, soft voice. He looked
down at her, at a loss for words. He sighed and began chewing on his lower
lip nervously.

"No, we're not married."

"But you're boyfriends..." she continued.

"Well.."

"But I thought boys were suppose to be boyfriend-girlfriend." Jordan
sounded confused.

Leo took a deep breath, "Well...I don't know how to answer that really.

The way I see it, when you really care about someone, it doesn't matter if
they're a boy or a girl." Leo explained. She still had a confused look on
her face.

"But I care bout Madison, that's my best friend, but that's icky to think
of kissing her!" She shuddered. Leo laughed at her.

"Well, most people feel that way. You just do whatever your heart tells
you."

Jordan nodded.

"Are you and Jase in love?" She asked teasingly.

"Yep!" Leo joked back.

"Can Jase come over today? He has really pretty eyes." Jordan asked meekly.

Leo smiled and nodded.

"Sure, Jordan. And yes he does have very pretty eyes."

"So, what's your story?" Kenny asked from across the table, taking another
bite of his burger.

"Well, not much to tell. Jordan's my little sister, you met her at the
party thing. My Mom's divorced and remarried, my Dad ran away when I was
really little, and that's about it."

Kenny nodded.

"So, what do you do for fun? Play any sports?"

"Not really. I played baseball for a while, but I'm really clumsy. I'm
mostly into art." Kenny nodded his head and smiled.

"I'd like to see some of your drawings or painting or whatever it is u do."

Kenny smiled. Jeremy blushed.

"Sure." He smiled and poked at his food.

"Something wrong? You've barely touched your food." Kenny noted.

"Huh? Oh...I can't eat when I'm nervous." Jeremy slipped.

"Nervous? Are you nervous? Why are you nervous?" Kenny asked curiously.

"Oh..uh..well I don't know. I guess since we've only met once I'm kinda
nervous of what you think of me." Jeremy covered. It wasn't a complete lie,
just withholding. He avoided eye contact with Kenny. A strand of hair fell
in his face and he ran his hand through his hair to remove it. He glanced
up and Kenny was staring at him, studying him. When he realized Jeremy was
looking, he quickly looked away. Jeremy blushed and went back to poking at
his food.

Kenny glanced back up at him and smiled sheepishly.


The day went by all too fast. Jeremy was thoroughly enjoying himself as was
Kenny and they hated to see their fun cut short, but Kenny had to get up
early to help his Dad go cut down their Christmas tree and then he was
going to a family celebration that afternoon, so he needed to get
going. They drove up in front of Leo's apartment and parked. Kenny looked
at Jeremy and smiled.

"I had an awesome time today," Kenny grinned. Jeremy smiled shyly.

"Me too." Jeremy bit his lip nervously. Kenny nodded awkwardly and then
looked over at Jeremy. Jeremy slowly shifted his eyes so that they were
locked on Kenny's and in one, dreamlike instant, their lips locked. And as
quickly as it came, it went. Kenny pulled back, his eyes widened and his
lips still puckered. He sat there perfectly still. Jeremy was equally as
shocked and looked away.

"I should go." Jeremy started to get out of the car.

"Wait." Kenny stopped him.
