Rian
Chapter 11


Half an hour and twenty lashings later, Rian lay on his bed staring at a
spot on the wall. His bum was once again hurting so much it ached all
over. The burning hot stinging feeling making the occasional tear run
down already tear stained cheeks.  Rian wished once more that this had
never happened. That he had never said a word to his parents, that he
wasn't really gay. Yet he would never have met Jake otherwise.

At school the next day Rian found Julian and apologized, explaining that
his grandparents didn't like him having friends over. Julian knew then
that it had been a family member that hurt him. He watched as Rian smiled
a brittle smile, then walked away with a slight limp that wasn't there
the day before.

Julian was determined to do something to cheer Rian up.

It was a week later when Julian managed to fulfill his plan through
numerous secret means. He sat and waited as kids poured into the school
through the gates. Rian appeared and Julian waved him over.

"Morning Jules." Rian said giving him a brief hug.

"Morning Ri." Julian gave him a big grin.

Rian gave him a suspicious look. "Why are you so happy to see me?"

Julian gave him a fake look of absolute hurt. "What? I'm not allowed to
be happy to see you?"

Rian narrowed his eyes and was about to make a comment when Julian spoke.

"Hey, who's that kid over there? He must be new."

Rian turned to look. Then he looked again. Standing across the road,
leaning on his car with a massive grin on his face was Jake.

"Wha?" Rian thought he was imagining it. Then Jake waved him over.

Suddenly Rian felt his heart speed up to a million miles an hour, his
grin threatened to break his face. He dropped his bag.

Amy, James and Chris who were walking towards the boys were amazed to see
Rian so happy, having never seen him like that before.

Rian ran. His brain was going nuts and he felt an overwhelming desire to
kiss Jake. Which is what he did. Throwing his arms around Jake when he
reached his boyfriend, Rian managed also to wrap his legs around Jake's
waist. Jake staggered but straightened. About to talk he was cut off by a
pair of lips landing squarely and quite vigorously on his own.

Rian groaned into Jake's mouth as the two kissed, with more and more
heat. Jake's arms were under Rian's arse, holding him up. When Jake
pulled away they were breathing heavily and staring at each other. Rian
leaned in and started softly kissing his neck, oblivious to the other
kids milling around.

Jake however saw the stares and whispers of the other kids. "Shit Rian.
Did we just out you?"

Rian pulled back and smiled. "I'm out here. Well sort of. I'm sure
everyone had guessed by now."

Jake looked at Rian. He noticed the pain hidden behind those beautiful
green depths. Yet he also noticed another look. A fierce determination.

"So you're ok with pashing some boy in the middle of the school yard?"
Jake was watching carefully for any reaction.

Rian just grinned. "You're hardly some boy. I've told all my new
friends about you. And besides, I just don't give a shit about that
anymore."

Jake leaned in and kissed Rian very softly. "I missed you. All the guys
at soccer asked me where you were." Jake let him slide out of his arms.

"Really? Like who?"

"Well." Jake wrapped his arms around Rian and pulled the slimmer boy
against his own more muscled body. "Jackson and Avi and Sundeep and
Chris. Even Mr Cornel."

Rian smiled. "I kinda miss soccer."

Jake pulled Rian harder against him. "God its good to see you."

A thought suddenly struck Rian. "Why are you here? I mean its great to
see you but^Å"

Jake grinned. "Your friend called me. Julian. He said you needed to see
me."

"Huh." Rian turned to look at Julian who had a massive grin on his
face. "How did he get your number?"

"Said something about sneaking it out of your bag when you weren't
looking." Jake grinned again, squinting over at Julian. "I like him.
Though he's very attractive, well from what I can tell from here."

Rian laughed at Jake's suddenly suspicious look. "You don't have to
worry. Besides he's got a boyfriend."
Julian slaunted over a few seconds later with Amy and James trotting
after him. He tossed some keys at Jake who caught them instinctively.

"No one's home at my place today. Those are the keys. Remember to
change the sheets." Julian smirked.

Two very red faced boys looked back at him. Rian buried his head in
Jake's chest. "Jesus."

"Come on kids. We're all old enough to talk about sex."

Amy smacked Julian in the stomach. "Give the boys a break. If they want
to go fuck like bunnies on your bed then let them do it in peace."

Rian stared at Amy. "Thanks for nothing." He mumbled.

"I'm Jake by the way." Jake held out his hand around Rian who was
still in his arms.

"Amy, James and Julian." Amy replied in her usual kinda blunt fashion.

Rian just rolled his eyes. The bell rang before anything more could be
said. Julian grabbed the other two and dragged them away. Over his
shoulder he called out his address.

"Should we go?" Jake asked softly.

"To Julian's house?" Rian thought about it as he stared at Jake. He
nodded. "Ok."

They were quiet as Jake drove. Both were thinking about what would happen
when they were both truly alone together. Jake kept glancing at Rian as
he drove. He looked thinner somehow and Jake felt this weird urge to feed
him. He shook his head slightly. He was thinking like his mother.

At the house the two walked in silence up the drive unlocked the door and
went inside.

"This is weird being here. Maybe we should go." Rian said looking
around the unfamiliar house.

Jake shook his head. "Julian said his bedroom is the second door
upstairs."

They trooped upstairs together and opened the door. Julian's room had a
few band posters on the wall, some posters of hot bare-chested men,
photographs of different friends and weird memorabilia that only kids can
collect. Rian instantly started looking in the photos for someone that
could fit Takeshi's description.

"Um Rian?" Jake asked. "Look."
On Julian's bed was the shape of a heart made out in condom packets.
Julian could make them blush without even being there. Rian forgot about
the photos as their eyes collided. There was an empty silence for a
minute.

"We don't have to do anything Rian. I'm just happy to see you. Can we
just lay and hug for a while?"

Rian felt immensely relieved and strangely disappointed at the sometime.
He eagerly complied and they lay down, brushing condoms out of the way.

They talked softly about everything that came to mind, sometimes serious
sometimes stupid. Rian told Jake more about what had happened with his
father, tidbits about his new living arrangements but refused to say the
whole story. Jake remembering another time when he did this became quite
worried, wondering what was going on.

The spent most of the day in each others arms, whispering, kissing
exploring. It was something they both needed.
