Chapter 25

Josh, Scott and I went downstairs to play Nintendo while my parents talked.
Actually, Josh and I sat on the couch and watched Scott play Wii Fit.  He
had learned how to do the ski-jumping and wanted to show off.

I reached over and playfully punched Josh in the arm.  "Shut Up Dan??" I
smiled.

"You weren't saying much to help yourself," he smiled.  "Someone had to say
something."

"I know, thanks.  I'm not sure I like my father being involved.  I'd rather
handle it but there isn't much we can do."

"It'll be okay.  He does have a point though."

"What's that?"

"Promise you won't get mad?"

"What is it?"

"Well, sometimes with Phil your need not to back down does seem to escalate
things.  Like today, he was walking away when you called him a wimp.  If
you hadn't said that he probably wouldn't have charged you and your father
wouldn't be involved."

I took a deep breath.  "Maybe this time but something was bound to happen."

"Dan, I don't want to make you mad but you don't know that.  Maybe you have
it in your head how things will play out and that affects your actions.
I'm not saying always but today, calling him a wimp probably wasn't
necessary."

"Maybe not but it was fun," I smiled.  "And don't worry, I'm not mad.  I
want you to tell me what you think regardless of whether it's bullshit or
not."

I laughed when he frowned.  "But this time what you're saying isn't totally
bullshit. Sometimes I probably do say things before thinking things
through. It must run in the family."

"You think?" he smiled.

"Yeah, like when I told you I loved you.  Look where that got me."

"Asshole."

"Hahaha, Josh said a bad word," laughed Scott.

I smiled.  "He certainly did.  It wasn't very nice of him either.  He
should think before saying whatever pops into his little brain."

I grabbed him and pulled him against me.  "I've thought about this though,
I do love you and you do have a point.  I'll try to do better but I know
I'm going to have to kick his ass someday."

"You said a bad word too."

"Have to or want to?"

"Good point.  Maybe both.  And you're right Scott, I did.  How about you
and I play a game of tennis."

"I want to play Josh."

"You just want to play someone you can beat," I laughed.  Josh playfully
punched me as he stood up.  I could clearly see him mouth 'Asshole' when
Scott wasn't looking.

I smiled.  "I love you even if you do call me that.  You play with the kid.
I'm going upstairs."

I gave him a quick kiss before leaving.  Maybe I should be more discreet
around Scott but it's not like he didn't know Josh and I kissed each other.
Hopefully he didn't know much more than that but I'm sure he's wondering
about things after what Jimmy said.

I watched them play for a couple minutes before going upstairs.  I was glad
they get along.  Scott had accepted Josh without batting an eye.  It took
me a month not to see him as Aaron.  Scott didn't seem to have that
problem.  To Scott he's just Josh.

My mother was cooking chicken stir-fry and asked me to help cut up the
vegetables.  At least she didn't ask about what happened at school.  I
guess she and Dad had already talked.  She did ask how the rest of my day
had gone.

"We went by Josh's house.  He wanted to find his birth certificate but it
wasn't where he thought it would be.  He's kind of upset."

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.  Jon will take care of things."

"I hope so.  I know all the uncertainty bothers him even though he doesn't
say much.  I think he thought if he found it then things would happen
quicker.  He feels like he's imposing."

"He isn't imposing.  He can stay here as long as he needs to."

"I've told him you said that but he still feels like he's imposing."

She just smiled.  "I'll make sure I mention it without him thinking you
said anything."

"Thanks Mom.  He means a lot to me."

"I know he does honey.  You have good taste."

After supper Josh helped clean the kitchen by clearing off the table and
putting dishes in the dishwasher.

"It's nice to have someone help without being asked," my mother said to
Josh but clearly looking at me. "I think we'll keep you around."

"He's just trying to show me up," I smiled.

"And he's doing a good job of it."

"Josh," my father said.  "I forgot earlier. We got a check from Social
Services today.  I want you to have it.  Do you have a bank account you can
put it in?"

"No, I've never needed one.  Isn't that money for you?  Ms. Irving said
you'd be getting something to help with the additional expenses of me being
here."

"It's for that but it's also for other things you need.  You need your own
money.  We don't want you to feel you can't do something because you'd have
to ask us for money.  We're fortunate in that we don't really need
it. Having one more person around is hardly noticeable.  I don't think
you'll spend it frivolously.  Look at how cost conscious you two are being
by sharing a shower," my father smiled.

Josh's face turned red and I'm sure mine was close behind.  "Dad!!!"

My father just smiled.  "Relax guys. I just wanted you to know I knew and
you don't have to worry about sneaking around.  I'm not going to ask about
the details of your relationship.  I'm still coming to grips with things
but it's fine, we just want you to be happy, both of you. Just be
responsible."

"Thanks Dad.  I know it's hard for you."

"Dan, I told you, I'm just concerned.  A lot has changed but there are
still people like that boy you're dealing with at school.  I don't want to
see anyone hurt.  But do me a favor, will you?  I know what it's like to be
teenagers but please keep certain things behind closed doors.  Knowing is
different from seeing.  Scott doesn't need to see either.  And be careful.
I assume you both know about being safe."

"Dad... I've had that course," I smiled, a little embarrassed.  Talking to
your father about the dangers of sex with your mother standing there is
pretty uncomfortable no matter how tolerant they are.  Good thing Scott had
gone up to his room.

"Alright, but if you're too embarrassed to buy what you need then let me
know.  I want you to be safe."

I smiled.  Josh was just standing there looking at me.  I don't think he
knew what to say.  The thought of my father buying us condoms was kind of
humorous though.

"Dad, thanks, but there really isn't any need.  Josh and I aren't doing
anything that needs anything like that.  Besides, Mom already made the same
offer."

"Okay, we really don't need to know the details.  I just wanted to be sure.
I'm sorry if I embarrassed you."

"It's okay Dad.  We know it's hard.""

"Your mother and I love you.  We like your choice in boyfriends too," he
said smiling at Josh.

"By the way Dad, I told more than Chris and Ryan about Friday.  I asked a
bunch of people.  Chris and Ryan will be the only ones staying over, well
maybe Chris's brother too, but some other friends are coming over for a
while too.  It's still okay, right?"

"No problem as long as there is no alcohol or drugs."

"There won't be.  I've already talked to everyone."

Upstairs I fell on my bed laughing.  "That was embarrassing.  I can't
believe my father just offered to buy us condoms.  Maybe I should have told
him not to forget the lube."

"That's not nice.  He was just trying to help.  I can't believe your
parents are so tolerant.  He basically said it's okay for us to have sex.
I can't imagine what my father would say."

"Yeah, I'm lucky.  We're lucky I guess but I'm lucky because I have them
and you."

"We're lucky we have each other."

"Lucky or not we better call Chris to make sure he can pick you up
tomorrow.  I still don't like it but there isn't much we can do about it."

"I'll be okay.  You have fun taking care of the budding juvenile
delinquent."

Chris said he'd stop by to pick Josh up before school.  He thought it was
funny that a second grader got suspended for fighting.  He also wanted to
know if we were still on for Friday night.

"Yeah, I just talked to my father.  Everything is cool.  Is your brother
coming?"

"I don't know, he was, but I don't want your brother to corrupt him.  He
sounds like a bad influence."

I laughed.  "Actually I told him I was proud of him.  He punched out a nine
year old bigot. Maybe he shouldn't have done it but it wasn't like he
started it."

"I'm not sure Tommy would have done that.  I don't know how he feels about
gay guys.  We've never talked about it.  I'm worried he'd ask too many
questions."

"He's going to know sometime but he's still young.  Josh and I were just
talking about how lucky we are.  My family is really accepting. ...That
still doesn't mean we can have an orgy Friday night," I laughed.

"Too bad.  That could be fun."

"What??  Sorry Chris, not interested. There's only one person I want to do
anything with."

"That's not what I meant.  Don't get me wrong, you and Josh are great guys
but I wouldn't do anything with anyone but Ryan.  I just meant the four of
us having some fun, you and Josh, me and Ryan.  It would be kind of hot
hearing you and Josh going at it while Ryan and I were doing the same
thing."

I felt my cock spring up.  "Chris, stop talking like that.  I need to do
homework and I won't be able to if you keep putting those thoughts in my
head.  Is Tommy coming Friday night?"

He laughed.  "He'll be there."

"Good, Scott will have someone to hang out with.  See you tomorrow
morning."

"Later."

"What thoughts did he put into your head?"

"He said it would be hot if the four of us have some fun."

"What??"

"Not with each other, just the two of them and the two of us."

"Is that something you'd like to do?  From the look of that bulge in your
jeans I think yes."

I smiled.  "Just so you understand, I'm not a slut regardless of what you
think.  I only want to do things with you and hope you feel the same.  I
know Chris feels that way about Ryan too.  He just meant the four of us in
the same room.  He said it would be hot with us going at it while they are
too, nothing more."

"You know I wouldn't even consider it if it wasn't Chris and Ryan.  They're
our friends. It might be fun but I don't really need any external stimulus
with you.  I will admit Chris did say Ryan is hung like a horse.  I am
curious," I smiled.  "It's not a big deal though.  If you didn't want to
then we wouldn't, no problem."

"You wouldn't care?"

"What I'd care about is if you did it just because you thought I wanted to.
I'd do it and probably enjoy it if we all wanted to but it's not something
'I have to do'.  Now let's do our homework."

It was actually fun doing homework with Josh.  I didn't 'not like' school
but I usually wouldn't count doing homework as something that was fun.
Doing it with Josh was fun though.  Since we had so many courses together
we had the same homework and were able to do it together.  We made a game
out of the pre-calc homework.  Whoever got a problem solved first got a
kiss.  Alright, we were pretty gay but it was fun.

Around nine we took a break to say good night to Scott.  He was still upset
for being suspended.  It was the first time he'd been in trouble at school.

"Scott, you go to sleep.  We'll talk about it tomorrow.  We'll have fun,
just you and me.  We can do whatever you want."

"Can we go to the movies?"

I laughed.  "I think Mom and Dad would prefer we stay here and you don't
have 'too good' of a time. They are upset you know."

"I know. Jimmy was a jerk."

I rubbed his head and gave him a hug good night.  "I love you buddy.  We'll
talk tomorrow."  I wanted to talk with him but had to think about what to
say.

Josh gave him a hug too.  They were really getting along.  Scott just took
his being here like there wasn't anything unusual about it.

Josh and I finished our homework around ten and went downstairs to get
something to eat.  My parents were watching TV.  The Jay Leno show had just
started.  I'd only seen him a few times since he used to be on later.  Now
he was on every night at ten.  I didn't really like his humor but part of
the show was okay.  I liked it when he talked to people on the street and
it showed how stupid they are.  How can they not know who the vice
president is?

Josh and I sat on the couch and talked to my parents.  We didn't really
talk about anything in specific, just general stuff.  My mother asked if we
finished our homework.

"Yeah, Josh is turning it in for me.  He'll also get any assignments so I
won't miss anything."

"I'm sorry you have to stay home.  Tomorrow is just such a busy day for
me."

"It's okay Mom.  It's only one day."

I frowned at Josh because he was sitting on the other end of the couch.
Even when I grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards me he resisted.  I
just smiled.

"If that's the way you want to be then fine," I teased as I laid down
putting my head on his leg.  "I prefer this anyway."

He jumped, trying to move away, while looking at my parents.  There were
tears in my mother's eyes.

"I'm sorry Mom."

"No, it's okay.  It's just hard to look at you and not see you and Aaron."

I took Josh's hand and gave it a kiss.

"I know it's hard to get used to but honestly I don't even think about it
anymore.  I haven't forgotten him. I could never do that but he isn't here.
Josh looking like him makes things a little strange but it's what's on the
inside that makes him special."

"I know he's not Aaron but seeing you two together does bring back
memories.  Have you talked to the Michaels lately?"

"No, only the once right after we moved, why?"

"We talked to them last week.  They were asking about you.  They saw how
you've been the last year.  Maybe you should send them an email to let them
know how you are.  They'd like that."

"I can't tell them about Josh, not yet."

"Who are the Michaels?" asked Josh.

"Aaron's parents.  They were like second parents to me."

"Dan, they know your life will go on and that you're going to move on.
Jackie and I talked about that quite a bit.  They'll understand."

"Maybe but it's not that simple, is it?"

"At some point you should tell them.  They'll be upset if they found out
your new boyfriend could be their son's twin some other way.  I know I
would be."

My father gave my mother a strange look when she mentioned the Michaels.
"Diane, we need to talk.  There's no hurry about telling them anything.
Chris and Jackie will understand."

"I know but they love Dan and will be happy that he's happy again."

"I think he should wait.  Let's see how things work out."

"I'm all for waiting," I said.

My parents were looking at each other speaking with their eyes again.
"What's going on?" I asked.  "Is there something you're not telling me?"

"Dan, it's nothing.  I'm sure the Michaels will take it fine.  They want
you to be happy but you're right, it will be hard on them."

I wasn't sure they were telling me everything but I smiled and kissed
Josh's hand.

"I know I am," I smiled.

Later that night while we were lying in bed Josh asked if I thought there
was something up with my parents.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, maybe it's nothing but they seemed like they were hiding
something when they were talking about Aaron's parents.  Maybe I'm just
naturally suspicious from dealing with my father but it seemed that way to
me."

"I don't know, maybe.  You have to understand the Michaels lived next door
to us since before I was born.  They are my parents' best friends.  I'm
sure they talk a lot about what happened and how I've been.  You can't
blame them for not knowing how to tell them about you.  I don't want to
hurt them either."

"What are we going to do then?"

"I don't know.  My parents are right.  I can't 'not' tell them.  I just
can't imagine how they'd feel meeting you.  I guess I can't imagine how
you'd feel either."

"I hope we're doing the right thing."

I held him tight.  We both just had boxer-briefs on and our bare skin was
pressed against each other.

"Josh, I never want to lose you.  We'll figure something out.  I know them.
It'll be okay.  Aaron already told me he's happy for me. They will be too."

"I hope so."

I rubbed his forehead pushing his hair out of his eyes.

"Don't worry," I said.  "What can I do to take your mind off it?"

He smiled.  "I'm tired.  Some of us have to go to school tomorrow."

"Okay, just lie there.  I'll do all the work," I smiled.

Josh lay on his stomach and I straddled his legs, my crotch pressing
against his ass.

"Just relax," I whispered.  "You've had a busy day."

I started rubbing his shoulders, first up and down and then in a circular
motion.  His skin felt so warm and smooth in my hands.  I could feel his
body relax.  Leaning down I kissed his neck.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I can feel your love pushing against me," he chuckled.

"Someday it'll be more than that.  When we're both ready.  Not tonight
though.  Tonight I just want to make you feel good.

"You are," he moaned.

"I want to make you feel better," I smiled as I kissed his back.  "I love
you so much."

He was totally relaxed as I gently massaged and kissed his back. I slid
lower and lower until I got to his ass.

"Maybe I'll use this as a pillow tonight."

He laughed.  "You might not want to do that."

"Yeah, it can be a dangerous weapon," I laughed.

"No worse than you."

"I'm not so sure about that. I love you but I've smelled your farts,
they're pretty bad."

"You're the one who has his face there."

I smiled.  I knew I probably would care if he actually farted while my face
was where it was but he wasn't going to do that.  At least not without
warning.  There was something about it that felt so intimate though.  Josh
really did have a nice ass. He really didn't have any excess fat and his
ass was firm with just enough definition to make it sexy.  Of course I
loved the looks of a hot guy's ass.  Not all guys with a nice ass are sexy
but that's definitely a necessity for a guy to be sexy in my mind.  I just
laid there for a few minutes gently kissing him through his boxer briefs
while rubbing his back and legs.

Josh broke the silence after a few minutes.  "Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Yup," I smiled and gave his ass a kiss.  "Are you?  You seem pretty
relaxed."

"I am.  I was just thinking."

"Oh oh," I said giving him a quick kiss before sliding back up beside
him. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing bad.  Just how things have changed for me in the last month. It is
pretty amazing that we're here together right now.  This just seems how
things are supposed to be.  It seems like an eternity ago when we were
avoiding each other. We wasted so much time."

"Nah," I said.  "Someone once told me that if you don't have bad times you
don't appreciate the good times.  I look at it that if we hadn't wasted
time as you say it then maybe I wouldn't feel like I do right now. I know
what I could have missed out on and what things would be like if I hadn't
found some balls as Jason told me. I never want to lose you."

"I hope you always feel like that."

"Come here," I said.  "I want to hold you close."

"Just never let go."

"No chance of that," I smiled kissing him again.  "Maybe I'll keep you
awake all night since I don't have school tomorrow."

We rolled over with Josh on top of me.  His legs were between mine with his
crotch pushing against me.

"Oh yeah," he said.  "This feels nice.  I love feeling you against me like
this."

"Me too.  Your heartbeat feels like you've just run a 10K."

"Something has to keep the blood flowing."

"It doesn't feel like there's any problem there.  I can feel your crotch
pulsing."

"Yours feels pretty good too."

We talked less and less and kissed more and more as we rubbed together.

"Yeah Josh, you feel so good," I said reaching down and sliding his boxer
briefs down his legs.  "Come up here.  There's something I want."

I slid down a little while Josh moved up.

"What do you want?" he asked smiling.

"You'll know when I find it," I said sliding lower.  "I think I'm getting
closer. It should be around here somewhere."

"What are you going to do when you find what you're looking for?"

"This," I said opening my mouth and taking his cock at the same time.

Josh moaned as I sucked my cheeks against him.  I was so horny.  I hoped he
got the idea when I lifted his hips up and down letting his cock slide
between my lips.

He was definitely a quick study.  He got the idea and started to rock his
hips.  At first he tried to be gentle but he was horny and started moving
up and down harder, his balls bounce off my chin.

He pulled out after a while but I grabbed him.

"Dan... I don't want to hurt you."

"Just go with it Josh.  You're not going to hurt me. I want this. I want
you to feel good."

I put my lips back over his cock.  He smelled so good.  I could smell the
remote sense of my body wash we had used in the shower.  He was so cute
too.  I knew he was trying to be quiet.  Sometime we'd do this with nobody
around and we could make as much noise as we wanted.  Right now Scott was
sleeping on the other side of the wall and my parents were down the hall.
Josh just whimpered trying to be quiet so nobody would hear.

"Dan, ...I'm going to..."

That was all he got out other than moans.

"You make me feel so good," he said as I slid up next to him after he
calmed down. "I can't believe you let me do that."

"I love making you feel good.  I'm going to miss you tomorrow."

"It's only for one day."

"I know. We should go to sleep. Someone has school tomorrow. I get to sleep
in."

"You're not going to be able to sleep like that."

"It's okay.  All I need is you in my arms."

"Alright but don't bet on sleeping in.  I might find a way to wake you up."

We rolled around until Josh was lying on his side with his back pressed
against me and my arm over his chest.

"I love you Josh Sullivan," I whispered kissing the back of his neck.

The last thing I remembered before falling asleep was an image of Aaron's
smiling face.

"Way to go Dan.  It took you long enough but things are working out like
they're supposed to."

- - -

I woke up with a start.  "What the fuck??"

Josh laughed.  "I told you I was going to get you up early," he said from
his position between my legs.

"Come up here."  I said reaching down to pull him up next to me.  "It's not
that, although it felt nice.  It's Aaron.  He spoke to me."

"Thanks a lot.  I wanted to surprise you and you have an 'Aaron moment'.
What do you mean he spoke to you?"

"I'm sorry.  You did surprise me.  It was a nice surprise too.  You can
surprise me like that anytime you want but it was strange.  It was the last
thing I remember before you woke me up.  He seemed happy for me.  He said
'Way to go'.  He also said it took me long enough."

"Took you long enough for what?"

"I don't know.  Probably falling in love with you."

"Nice recovery," he smiled giving me a kiss.

I smiled.  "That wasn't all he said.  He said 'things are working out like
they're supposed to'.  What do you think he meant by that?"

"I don't know.  Maybe you imagined it or maybe you're just destined to love
good looking guys."

"Then why do I love you?" I smiled.

"Asshole, I should have bitten your cock."

I kissed him again.  "I'd let you try again but I have to take a piss."

"We still have a few minutes before I have to get ready for school.  Hurry
back."

I grabbed my shorts and ran across the hall.  I heard my parents
downstairs.  They were in the kitchen but the TV was on.  My father always
watches the news before going to work.  It was difficult to piss even
though I really had to go but once I started it seemed to go on forever.

Josh was smiling when I got back to my room.  "It took you long enough."

"You try pissing with a hardon."

"Come here and let me check it out."

I quickly peeled of my shorts and got back in bed.  I climbed on his chest
and pointed my cock at his mouth.

"Is this what you want?"

He smiled.  "I remember it being bigger."

"I'll show you bigger.  Open up," I said putting my tip against his lips
while reaching around and grabbing his balls.  "If you bite I'm going to
squeeze these hard."

"What happened to 'never wanting to hurt me'?"

I answered by pushing my cock between his lips when his mouth was open.
"That's it Josh.  I know how to shut you up.  You want that don't you?"

He nodded and mumbled 'God yes, I won't be able to see this all day."

"Then take it."  I leaned forward and pushed further into his mouth.  I
pushed my cock deeper but stopped when I felt resistance.  I brushed his
hair off his forehead and smiled.  There was no way I was going to hurt
him.  He knew that too and I could see a smile in his eyes.  I whispered "I
Love You" when our eyes met.

His mouth felt so nice and warm.  He was careful not to scratch my cock but
also let me control the pace, sliding back and forth.  His cheeks sucked
against my shaft.

I moaned. "What a way to wake up."

He put his hands on my ass and pulled me towards him.  His enthusiasm was a
little too much at times and he started to gag.

I smiled.  "Relax, don't go too fast.  It feels good just the way you're
doing it.  You're a quick learner."

I gently rocked back and forth a little more.  Even though I would have
liked to ram it home there was no way I was going to do that.  What he was
doing was definitely good and I knew I wouldn't hold out much longer.  When
I knew I was about to cum I started to pull out but he wouldn't let me.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

He just nodded with my cock in his mouth.  The love I felt for him at that
moment was phenomenal.  I could feel it throughout my body.

"Oh Josh," I moaned pumping a few more times.  I started to say "Here it
comes buddy" but before I got it out my legs began to shake.  I think it
was the combination of an orgasm and the fact my legs had been in the same
position since we started.  I lost my balance and fell back sitting down on
his chest. Josh just lifted his head keeping his mouth over my cock.  It
was cute watching him swallow everything my cock shot out.

When I stopped cumming I pulled my cock out of his mouth leaving some final
drops on his lips.

"That was fantastic," I smiled leaning down to kiss him.  "Thank you."

We embraced and gave each other a passionate open mouth kiss.  I could
taste a mix of saliva and cum on his tongue.

"What are we going to do when you have to go live with your aunt?"

"Don't think about that now.  She keeps delaying how long she's going to be
gone so we have plenty of time.  Besides, I still plan on spending a lot of
time here even after she comes back.  That is, if you let me."

I looked at him and smiled.  "I'll think about it.  I guess it'll be okay
if I don't get any better offers.  Personally I think Phil is a closet
case."

"That's not funny.  Next time I will bite.  You deserve it."

"You love me anyway."

"I know and I don't plan on letting you go."

"Good, that's what I like to hear."

"I wish we could stay like this but one of us has to go to school."

I got off him.  "I still don't like not being there."

"I'll be fine.  Chris and Ryan will be there.  So won't Tim.  It'll be
okay."

"I guess but I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

After a couple more kisses we got out of bed and got dressed.  I just put
on gym pants and a t-shirt since I wasn't going to school.  Josh went into
his room and got a clean pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

"You might want to wash your face before we go downstairs.  You have some
cum on your cheek."

I leaned in to lick it off but he ran into the bathroom and washed his
face.

"I guess playtime is over."

Chris came to pick up Josh around quarter past seven.  He still thought it
was funny Scott got suspended.

"You be careful," I said to Josh as he got ready to leave.  "I'll miss
you."

He smiled.  "I'll be fine.  Phil won't be there and I doubt any of his
friends will do anything without their leader."

"I still wish I was going."

We gave each other a hug with neither of us wanting to let go.  Chris
watched and smiled.

"Don't worry Dan.  Nobody is going to hurt your new toy."

Josh turned red when I said he was the best toy I'd ever had.

"I don't think I want to know."

"I'm sure it's nothing you and Ryan haven't done."

I turned my attention back to Josh.

"Bye, I'll see you tonight.  If you need me then call. Okay?"

"I'll be fine. Don't worry. It's only school."

I pulled him against me and gave him another kiss.  We stayed hugging and
kissing for almost a minute before Chris cleared his throat.

"Guys, I want to get to school today and Ryan is waiting in the car."

I smiled.  "Sorry.  Thanks for picking him up," I said giving Josh one more
quick kiss.

"No problem."

I grabbed Chris by the arm after Josh had gone outside.  "Keep an eye on
him, please?  I don't trust Phil."

He nodded.  "I know how you feel but relax.  Enjoy your day off.  We've got
it covered."

I smiled.  Chris was definitely a good friend.

"Okay Josh," said Chris as soon as they got into the car.  "Ryan and I want
to know.  We haven' talked to just you in a while.  Are you doing okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good, especially considering everything that's going on.  Things
have really changed.  My father was a shithead but he was my father.  I
always thought someday he'd be okay again, that we'd be okay again.  Now I
don't even have that.  The Johnsons are helping me and they've been great.
They've gone out of their way to make me feel at home.  They treat me like
one of the family."

"And how are you and Dan getting along.  From the looks of things he really
cares about you."

"Things are good."

"Come on Josh, you've got to give us more than that.  What's he really
like? "

"He's a good guy, we're dealing with things.  It's hard for me to believe
someone cares about me like that.  I just hope it lasts."

"Come on Josh, you're a good guy.  From what I saw he definitely likes you,
just enjoy yourself."

"That's what he says.  It's just that everyone who has loved me goes away
in one way or another.  My father didn't go away but what he did was worse.
Even my friends pretty much abandoned me other than you guys.  I'm just not
used to people caring about me and sticking around.  I worry he'll realize
I'm not Aaron sooner or later."

"You can't worry about what might happen.  If you do then it might happen
because you do things to make it happen even if you don't think you are."

"Sounds like what I told Dan.  He said sooner or later he'd have to fight
Phil.  I told him if he thinks that way then events might dictate the
results.  If he did things differently now then he might not have to fight
him later but if he reacts like he thinks he'll have to fight later then he
probably will."

"What did he say?"

"He said he'd think about it and that what I said wasn't 'entirely
bullshit'."

Chris laughed.  "Don't you see you're doing the same thing?  If you think
Dan is going to turn his back on you then you might just do things to make
that happen.  From what I saw he's crazy about you, don't let that happen."

"Maybe what you're saying isn't 'entirely bullshit' to quote my boyfriend.
I'll think about it.  Please don't tell him I said anything.  He gets upset
when I bring it up."

"You shouldn't keep it from him if it bothers you.  Secrets aren't good for
a relationship either."

"Yeah, I know.  He said that too."

"We still want to know the details Josh.  How is he in bed? We know you're
sleeping together."

"That's private."

"So you are getting it," Chris laughed.  "I'm happy for you."

"Me too," added Ryan.
