Tales from Bentonville, Chapter 63

Saturday morning found several Bentonville guys still smelling vaguely of
smoke.  All but Joel had chosen to fall into bed without showering because
they were too tired to care.  Joel had showered because Alex had done so
after the game, and he didn't want to smell offensive to his buddy even
though the two didn't do anything but cuddle before falling asleep.

Dave awoke at Greta's house sniffing the air.

"It smells like fire and brimstone in here.  Are you sure that you aren't
really the Devil?

"I'm gonna show you what kind of devil I am," Dustin replied with an impish
grin.

After a brief bit of playful wrestling around, both decided that it would be
best to get to the bathroom before their bladders burst.  Then, they decided
to take a shower to get the smell of last night's adventures off of them.
By that time, Dane and Colton were knocking on the door begging to be let in
to pee.

In view of fact that Dustin wanted to go home to spend more time with his
dad and younger siblings over the Thanksgiving break, he convinced Dave to
put off their lovemaking until later.  Dave was disappointed, but didn't
show it because he knew that Dustin needed time with his family, especially
with his mother in the psych ward.  So, after a hasty breakfast with the
Johnson boys, the two left for Dustin's home.

Colt and Dane volunteered to go out to the cottage at Lake Delhi to do some
cleaning so that it would be ship-shape for Thanksgiving.  Everyone in the
extended family was coming to Bentonville for the holiday.  Colt's mother
had offered to host this year, but was relieved when Greta insisted that she
didn't mind hosting again.  It was going to be easier for the expectant
mother to travel than to prepare for a small crowd of relatives.

Greta offered to go with the boys, but they assured her that they were up to
the job and didn't need any supervision.  She correctly suspected that there
would be some fun and games that did not include dusting and vacuuming.

When they got to the lake property, the boys turned up the thermostat and
began to clean the place thoroughly.  It wasn't a difficult job since
everything was in its proper place and the main thing needed was to remove a
fine layer of dust.

As the cottage warmed up, the guys began to remove their heavier clothes.
The sweatshirts were the first to go followed later by their jeans.   That
left them in their T-shirts and underwear which led to occasional outbursts
of grab-ass.  After the vacuuming was completed, Colt pulled Dane down on
the living room carpet in a big spot of sunlight.  There, he quickly removed
the rest of Dane's clothing.  Dane giggled, but put up no real resistance.
In fact, he raised his hips to aid in the slipping off of his briefs.

Then, Dane flipped Colt on his back and proceeded to give him the same
treatment.   After some deep, sensuous kissing, the sex-play began in
earnest.   It wasn't long before the two were moaning around each other's
hard cocks.   They were so caught up in the excitement that that explosion
of cum hit them almost unexpectedly, but neither choked on the extensive
offering.

They were basking in the warmth of the sun and the afterglow of a great
lovemaking session when they heard a car door slam.  Quickly, they gathered
their strewn apparel and sprinted up to the loft where they had left their
jeans.  They had barely gotten some order about themselves when they heard
their grandmother calling to them as she opened the kitchen door.  Greta
took her time carrying in some things from the car because she didn't want
to catch the boys in an embarrassing situation.

Since Dane was looking the most respectable, he headed down to help while
Colt spent another minute with his hair.  If Greta knew that she had nearly
caught them naked or how hurriedly they had dressed, she didn't let on.  She
complimented them on their work and opened her picnic basket to reveal a
fine lunch.

--------------------------------

In the late afternoon, several people were seated around the dining room
table at the Albers' house.  These included the twins, Abby, Joel, and their
fathers (or grandfather in Joel's case).  In addition, there was a college
recruiter and a person from the registrar's office at Iowa State.  From the
university's viewpoint, purpose of the meeting was to convince Alex and
Allen to sign letters of intent to play for the football team next fall.
The reason that the others were involved was to make sure that the boys and
their "love interests" got into the college programs that they wanted.  That
was a stipulation that both of the twins had made to any recruiter who had
approached them; it was a package deal or no deal.

After a couple of hours of bargaining, the Albers boys were satisfied that
it was a good opportunity for everyone and said that they would give their
final answer early in the coming week.  They wanted to discuss everything
without the pressure of having the college reps present.

--------------------------------

Of course, Greta wasn't the only person in Bentonville planning for the
feast day in the coming week.  At Miss Charlotte's house, she and Emma were
gearing up for hosting what might be their last big dinner party before
retiring to a warmer clime.  Charlotte was of two minds about it.  She was
eager to get settled in her new home in Arizona with Emma, but she felt sad
about leaving the young men who had become closer to her in many ways than
family.  She vowed to make this a memorable celebration.

Jane Masterson was in her kitchen consulting with Alex's mother and Abby's
mother.  Jane wanted to have both families come to her lake-side cottage for
Thanksgiving.  She was well aware that Allen wanted to have his girlfriend's
family get acquainted with his.  She also knew that Alex and Joel wouldn't
be content if they weren't together.  Her solution was to have them all
under one roof.  If they were all going to become a kind of extended family,
it made sense to have them all be able to familiar with each other in a
relaxed setting.  And if Abby's family had any qualms about their daughter
hanging around her boyfriend's gay twin and his lover, they would have a
chance to get used to it or get on down the road!

The other two ladies, both of whom were career women, readily agreed to the
idea of having the meal catered.  Jane knew a service from Cosgrove that
would create a meal up to her standards.  She would still make the desserts
since she had the leisure and the inclination to do so.

--------------------------------

On Saturday night, Dave and Dustin were lying naked under the covers in
Dustin's bed talking quietly.  Dustin was about to get up to turn out the
light, lock the door, and make some serious love with Dave when there was a
knock on his door.  It was followed quickly by the entrance of his
thirteen-year-old brother, Tom.

"Is it true?" Tom demanded.

"Is what true?" Dustin asked.

"That you guys do nasty things with each other."

"Well," Dustin stalled.  "What brought this on?"

"My friend, Joey, just told me what someone at school told him last week.
Are you guys queer?"

"Hey Tom, I'm not going to give you the runaround.  I do love this guy and
hope he will always share my life.  I wouldn't think that my being gay would
be any great revelation after the talk at that church Mom went to."

"I heard that shit, but I thought it was all lies!" Tom exclaimed.  "I
didn't think you guys would be licking each other's dicks!"

"Tom, what two guys in love do in bed is no one's business but theirs.  I'll
bet there are some girls in your class that you wouldn't mind licking."

"That's gross," Tom said disgustedly.

"What about one of them taking your wienie in her mouth?"

Tom's face flushed as he tried to figure out how to adjust his growing cock
without drawing attention to it.  The very thought of getting sucked off was
driving him crazy.  He finally sat in the desk chair to hide his condition.
But it was too late.  The grin on his brother's face let him know that he
was caught and he turned a deeper shade of crimson.

"Tom, it's okay to pop wood thinking about having oral sex.  Sex is a great
thing between two people who care for each other.  You are going to be a
horny kid for a long time.  You might as well get used to it."

Tom shrugged and gave a little grin.  His big brother wasn't making fun of
him.  In fact, he was treating him more like an equal.

"So, you two really are fags." Tom continued.

"We don't like the terms like fag, queer, cocksucker, etc.  We are a couple
of ordinary guys who are gay.  We happen to like, no love, each other and
that is a fact of life as much as any other." Dustin told him.

"Can we count on you to keep our secret for the time being?" Dave asked.
"We will probably come out publicly pretty soon, but we aren't quite ready
yet."

"What will you do for me if I keep quiet?" Tom asked sensing an opportunity.

"We will thank you." Dustin stated.

"Yeah, well if oral sex is great maybe your boyfriend could do that for me
so I won't tell Dad." Tom smirked.

Dustin jumped out of bed naked and pinned an astonished Tom to the floor.
Tom was going to yell for help, but couldn't because Dustin's hand was
firmly over his mouth.

"You hold still and keep quiet so that you don't get hurt," Dustin growled
in a low voice.

Tom's whole body went limp because Dustin's tone frightened him.  He wasn't
sure what his brother would do, but he was sure that he had overstepped the
bounds in his half-joking comment.

"Dad knows about Dave and me and so does Mom.  You are a dirty little
blackmailer and I've half a mind to beat the shit out of you.  I know if I
tell Dad about what you said, he is likely to take a belt to you.  Well,
he'll at least ground you until you're 18."

"I'm sorry," sobbed Tom.  "I wasn't really serious."

Tom's pleas and tears were enough to put out a small forest fire.  Dustin's
anger was no match either.  He relented and hugged his brother instead of
forcing him against the carpet.

"Okay, already, I forgive you.  Just don't try anything like that again even
if you are teasing.  Dave and I aren't into having sex with anyone else --
relative or otherwise.  You wouldn't expect my girlfriend to suck your dick,
if I had a girlfriend."

A relieved Tom couldn't help but be impressed by the size of his brother's
flaccid cock.  It was really bigger than he had remembered it from the last
time he had seen Dustin naked.  He wondered if his would grow that large in
a few years.  He certainly hoped so!

Interestingly enough, Tom stayed in the room and talked to his brother and
Dave for the better part of an hour.  By the time he left, he had a
different perspective on what it was to be gay.  These guys didn't act like
wimps or talk funny.  They were just like he was except they were hot for
each other.

He realized that his brother wasn't any different than he had been the day
before.  It was just that he now knew him better.  He wasn't sure what he
would say to Joey, but he would try to protect Dustin until he was ready to
come out.

--------------------------------

There was no school on Monday because students had the whole week of
Thanksgiving off for fall break.  That was probably a good thing for Jerry
and the young heroes who wanted to keep a low profile.  There was only a
very small bit in the Gazette about the van accident.  Mostly, it talked
about the incidents of deer on the highways and made no mention of the fact
that three members of a family were rescued by some Bentonville students.

Had school been in session, someone might have mentioned that someone else
had heard about the event from someone else's cousin who had an uncle who
was a state trooper.  But, if the gossip was out there, it had a good chance
of dying before school took up again.

There was, however, one school event of major importance.  It was the next
level of competition for the football team.  This game was held again at the
Dome, but was in the afternoon since many area schools were not in session.

Dane drove Greta's SUV for this one, taking along the same group that had
gone together on Friday night.  Of course, they had to make a slight detour
to pick up Dave and Dustin.  As they passed the point at which the accident
had happened on Friday night, they were all silent.  Dave squeezed his
lover's hand as he thought about how he could have lost Dustin.  Dustin's
escape from the van was altogether too close a call.

Like for that last game, Joel had a good row of seats reserved.  This time,
he had invited Trent and Sarah as well as Jerry and Carrie to sit with the
other guys.  Also, Abby would be there to cheer for Allen since she was on
break too.

It would be great to be able to say that the Cinderella team was victorious
to the end and won the state title in their division, but it wouldn't be
true.  The guys played hard and gave it their best.  They lost by only one
touchdown, but they lost none-the-less.

In the locker room, the coach hugged each of his players in turn.  He hadn't
expected his fledgling team to make it to the playoffs, much less win the
first game last Friday.

"You guys are all winners!  You did far more than anyone thought you could.
You can hold your heads high."

Just as he was finishing his speech, the coach from the other team came into
the locker room to talk to the Bentonville team.

"I have to take my hat off to you men.  My team came in here pumped up and
full of themselves thinking that this would be a runaway victory.  They
wondered if the game would be terminated early to prevent them from running
up the score too high or if I would put in my third string in the last
quarter.  As it was, they had to scrap for every point they made.  With your
permission, coach, I want my guys to come in to congratulate your guys on
playing one Hell of a game!"

It was an unusual scene for high school football.  There were handshakes all
around and evidence of true sportsmanship.  Too often, teams would be so
hopped up on adrenalin and testosterone that there would be fights in the
parking lot.  Today, there was a sense of mutual respect and even
admiration.

As the twins were exiting the locker room after showering and changing, they
met the recruiter from Iowa State who had been at their house a couple of
days before.  The boys figured that he was there to tell them the college
deal was off.

"You two were remarkable again.  I can't believe how close you came to
taking that small-town team all the way."

"You mean you're not disappointed with us?" Alex asked.  "You still want us
in Ames next fall?"

"More so than ever!  You pulled off some plays that the NFL would be proud
of.  The two of you seem to live inside each other's heads."

"You should see how kinky it is inside of Alex's head," Allen snickered.

"Hey, I learned everything I know about kinky from my older bro," Alex
countered.

They were still giggling and punching each other's shoulders as they came
into the hall to find their friends.

Most of the team and lots of their fans invaded a local pizza place.  From
the noise and excitement, anyone who didn't know the outcome of the game
would have thought that Bentonville had won.  In some ways, they had.
