    I was thoroughly pissed, but what teenager wouldn't after having found
out that you were going to have to move halfway across the country before
your summer year of high school.  It was a hell of a move too.  From Oak
Ridge, Tennessee all the way to Los Alamos, New Mexico.  Dad had gotten
promoted, now he was going to head some new research group.  Mom and Dad
had been back and forth all year getting us ready to move.  I on the other
hand had pretty much stuck my head in the sand and continued with football
practice.  We were running plays under the blazing June sun of Tennessee.
I had just blown through the offensive line and clobbered our star
quarterback, Jonathan Miles.  He stuck his tongue out, the way our guards
met I could just reach it with the tip of it with my own.  Yes I know, a
little risky, but after I found out that I was moving we decided that we
didn't care who found out about us.  I jumped up, grabbed him by the hand
and hauled him up.

     "Shit Horatio!  Do you have to be so fuckin' rough?"
    "Sure do babe.  How else am I gonna teach these jokers to protect you?"
I was about to call everyone back to the line when the coach blew the
whistle.
    "All right Williams you've punished the offense enough for one day.
Pack it in and hit the showers.  Williams I need to talk to you before you
head home."
    "Sure thing coach."  I said pulling my jersey and pads off.  We held
back as the rest of the team rushed off to the field house I liked to be
one of the last to shower.  I felt Jonathan wrap his arm around my waist I
turned my head to him and he stole a kiss.  "I'm gonna miss your babe.  How
the hell am I gonna get through a senior year without you."
    "It'll be okay.  Your hot shit, you'll do just fine."
    "Hope so."  I said throwing my arm around his neck.  "So have you
thought about what you want to do for the weekend of the fourth?"
    "No, just as long as it's with you."
    "I'm not expecting much of a birthday party.  Mom and dad must have
forgotten about it."  Throwing my gear in my locker, I finished stripping,
and headed to the showers.  I was happy for my dad, really I was, but this
move was taking me from all that I knew and loved.  We hadn't talked about
it much.  Guess I need to let them know how upset I was.  I had finished
but was just standing alone in the shower room, under the water letting it
wash over me.  Suddenly a hand started to caress my ass, fingers sliding
down my crack.  I knew who it was and I smiled bracing my hands against the
tile as he started to probe into me.
    "I think I figured out what to give you for your birthday."
    "Is it bigger than the finger you have up my ass?"
    "Oh, yeah baby."
    "That just may be the best present I get."  I smiled.  In never failed,
every time I was down Jon was there trying to put a smile back on my face.
I tuned and took him in my arms and we walked out to the lockers.  God I
love my man.  We dried off and dressed.  "I have to go see the coach.  See
you at the car?"
    "Sure."
    I came to the coach's office and knocked on the open door.  "You wanted
to see me coach?"
    "Yeah Horatio, shut the door and set down. This came for you today,
it's from the coach at your new school."
    "This is a play book."
    "Well, you hit that one on the head Williams."
    "Coach.  I was sort of thinking about getting out of football."
    "Are you nuts Williams?  You're one of the best dammed defensive
linemen I've ever seen.  Hell, you've ploughed through almost every
offensive line you faced last season.  Setting the state, high school, sack
record for a single season wasn't too bad either.  The State Sports
Director even commented on your sportsmanship during the tournament.  This
time next year you'll be practicing at Knoxville.  You know, I've talked to
the recruiting coordinator there.  He said he could probably think of a way
to get you back to Tennessee, but you can't quit now."
    "It'll be hard getting field time.  Me being new and all."
    "Not as hard as you might think.  When I found out that you were moving
I contacted the principal at your new school and he had the head football
coach call me.  He told me that his defense was in trouble and he would
take all the help he could get."
    "Gee thanks coach."
    "Listen Horatio you're not just a gifted player.  You haven't made less
than a B+ since you started high school and your attitude is excellent.
You have a bright future ahead of you, but you and Miles need to cool it in
the locker room.  Not everyone would be as understanding of your situation
as I have been."
    "Sorry.  I guess we have been going at it a little hot and heavy hear
lately, but with a bod like that I just can't help myself."
    "Jesus Williams!"  He said throwing his hat at me.  "Get your horny ass
out of here."
    "Thanks coach."  Well that's a load off my mind.  I grabbed my bag and
headed out to the parking lot.  Maybe this move won't be too bad.  I hadn't
given any thought about there being pros to this.  Something hard to do
when you're focusing on the negative.  Meeting new people and seeing new
places couldn't kill me.

    I was in a somewhat better mood when I got home until I remembered that
Jonathan and his folks were going to Knoxville for the weekend to see his
grandparents.  Susan, Jon's mom had watched my five year old brothers'
Robby and Ryan while I was at practice.  Normally I would have gone with
them but mom and dad were in New Mexico again.  That meant I had to stay at
home and watch the twins.  It wasn't too bad.  Both of the twins are into
sports we did two on one soccer in the back yard Saturday morning fallowed
by a trip to the local pizza arcade for supper.  When we got home, they
begged to play a video game.  Mom was strict about them and violence so I
pulled out my old Nintendo 64 and we played Mario Cart for two hours then
we watched a movie while I called Jonathan.
    Robby and Ryan both fell asleep while I was on the phone with Jonathan.
Thank God for free mobile to mobile.  We talked for hours about what the
coach had told me, we were both planing to go to UT Knoxville.  We made
plans for next week.  It would be my last here.  We're leaving the week
after the fourth and there wasn't any practice the week before or after so
Jon and I were going to spend the whole week together or as much as we
could with all the packing that was still left to do.  We finally said
goodnight and I settled down between the twins and fell asleep.

    I was still sleeping when mom and dad got home.  I thought I was
hearing my name being called.  Turning my head to the voice, I was about
blinded by a flash.  "Mom!"
    "Sorry honey.  I just couldn't help myself."  My mother the photography
nut.  She was good but sometimes it could be a little much.  "You three
just look so cute."  Looking to each side I found Robby was curled into my
left shoulder and Ryan into my right.  I had to smile knowing how much my
brothers loved me and I them.  There is nothing I wouldn't do for them.
They even accepted me being gay I think.  It's a little hard to tell if
they actually understand what that means.  They wouldn't have known at all
if not for having walked in on Jonathan and me in a heavy grind and lip
lock.  It had to be one of the most embarrassing moments of my life.  Worse
than when both our parents walked in on us during a vacation in Gatlinburg
two years ago.
    "What are you doing home so early?"
    "We flew in last night and your Father and I decided to stay over in
Nashville.  You need to get ready Horatio.  Your Father wants to take you
to lunch."
    "It's that late?"
    "Almost but, you have time to shower if you want."  It sounded a little
ominous.  The last time we 'went out for lunch' was when we were in
Gatlinburg.  That hadn't turned out too bad, though for a moment I thought
we were toast.  I untangled myself from the boys and hopped in the shower.

    Dad took me to his favorite Italian Deli for lunch, they serve an
awesome muffuletta.  He hadn't said much by the time I had finished the
first half of my sandwich.  I wiped my mouth and cleared my throat it was
now or never.  "I was thinking.  Maybe this move might not be so bad after
all."
    "I'm glad you've changed your mind, but why?"
    "Well it's not like I'm being exiled.  I'll still be able to come back
here for collage and I am happy for you Dad."
    "Thank you son.  I was worried about how you were handling this.  Seems
like your mother was wrong.  She was sure you were upset about this."
    "I am, sort of.  What if Jonathan meets someone else while I'm gone?
I... I don't know what I would do without him."
    "You know, after we found out you were gay my first reaction surprised
me.  That's why I left the room.  Jack and I went out and let your Mother
and Susan handle it.  It's hard to admit this to you but I was ashamed at
first.  When we got back home from the trip, I told your Mother that I was
ashamed of you that I didn't want you in my house.  In all the years we
have been together Elaine and I have never had a fight like we had that
night.  Your Mother is a passionate woman but I had no ideal.  She told me
flat out that if that was the way I felt that I could get my ass out and
never come back.  Horatio it's taken me two years to figure out why I
reacted that and work up the courage to tell you this.  I just want to ask
you to forgive me for being such an asshole."
    I didn't know what to say.  My eyes were tearing up and my chin was
trembling.  The first thing I could think to say was.  "D..Daddy.  Do you?
Do you still love me?"  I let out in a sob.
    "The question Horatio is, do you still love me?  This is part of the
reason we stayed in Nashville last night.  Your Mother and I have decided
that if you want we will try to arrange something with the Miles' so that
you can stay here with Jonathan."
    "Dad."  I said after thinking for a minute.  "As much as I love
Jonathan, and as much as I would love that, my place right now I think I
should be with my family."
