He was still really upset and clinging to me tightly. I felt more brotherly and love toward the little brat than I ever remember having before. "Matt. I don't want to go back. Can I live with you and mum?" Liam asked quietly after awhile. I gave him a smile. "I'm afraid it's not up to me mate. You'll have to talk to mum and dad." I tried to lighten the mood on the way back and even managed a laugh out of Liam, abet a bit of a sad laugh. When we pulled up next to the house mum raced outside and yanked Liam out of the car. "I should ground you forever you bloody idiot!" She didn't. Just hugged him. "Mum can I live with you guys?" Liam put in quickly. Mum looked at me over his shoulders and I smiled. "I'll have to discuss it with your father. But right now you're going to have some dinner." Mum and dad talked. The truth was we really didn't have the room but since Liam was adamant about not going back and I had decided I liked the idea of having my brother live with us, mum thought up some solutions. Before any of the solutions could be discussed, noted, revised, double revised let alone implemented I had to have a chat with my brother. It was the next morning. Kurt had insisted on sleeping on the couch and Liam had slept on a mattress in my room. What was I going to tell the little blighter? "So Liam. I'm gay! Welcome to the house!" I asked him to accompany me outside. Liam raised his eyebrows at my choice of words and just sat there. "Are you fucking coming or what?" I demanded. "Um..." Liam looked a bit shell shocked and Kurt patted him on the back. "Don't let his strange words and brash manner scare you. Inside he's as fluffy and gentle as a little kitten." Kurt hid his grin as he said it. Liam smiled and hurried outside. I quickly punched Kurt and took off before he could react shouting over my shoulder. "Fluffy and gentle my arse!" We sat down on the garden chairs in the backyard. Liam suddenly looked nervous. "Don't you want me to stay anymore?" "Course I do! Don't be stupid! We just have a few things that need to be said beforehand. Firstly, Kurt kinda lives here at the moment and probably for awhile. His folks are pretty messed up so mum took him in. Is that going to be an issue?" Liam shook his head. "Kurt seems nice. I don't mind living with him." I gave him a squinty look then nodded. "Alright. The next thing is a bit different. I hope it doesn't change your mind about staying here. So. I'm gay. And Aaron is my boyfriend. And mum knows. And so does Kurt. So. What do you think?" Liam looked shocked for a moment. Then he started pissing himself laughing. Now it was my turn to be shocked. What the fuck? I just sat there watching him laugh. It was making me more annoyed. What the hell was so funny? He gasped then stopped. "Can you imagine dad's face if he found out? That would be so funny!" I managed a smile. "Yes. Well. What do you think?" Liam stopped laughing but smiled and hugged me. "I'm just glad I'm going to be living with you and mum. I don't care if you're gay. Thanks for telling me though." Some part of me that I wasn't aware was stressed out, relaxed. Ok so that was over and done with. Liam was still hugging me. "Ok. Hug fest over. Liam? Um... you can let go now." I tapped him on the back. "Nuhuh." He mumbled. Aw... Then we collapsed backwards, the chair tipping over and Liam falling on top of me. He started laughing again and jumped up and ran inside. Little shit. So the solution was the building, funded mostly by me father, of a granny flat extension in the backyard. In the meantime we would all be sharing a room. The first night we all stayed in my room, Kurt was sleeping with me in my bed and Liam was on the floor. It was dark and I was just starting to drift off when Liam spoke up. "So I know you and Aaron are together but do you and Kurt like... you know?" That woke me up. There was an uncomfortable silence. "You know what, you little shit?" I demanded finally. There was a giggle. "Do it. Do you guys do it too? I mean am I going to have to cover my virginal ears?" The little prick. "Virginal? I thought everyone was having sex at twelve these days! Why are you so far behind?" I teased back. "Hey!" "Ok kids lets calm it down here." Kurt said from next to me so I thumped him. There was quiet for awhile when Liam spoke again. "Does anyone at school know you're gay?" "Yeah. Long story. I'll tell you soon ok? Now you go in there and suck up to mum. Tell her if this granny flat is better than my room, that I'll have it." I grinned at him. He raised an eyebrow. "Nah. Im not giving it up. I can have loud random sex all night and mum would never know!" He grinned as he walked inside. "Who are you going to having sex with? A wild orgy with your hand and Marky Sparky the teddy bear?" Yep. Real mature. "You have a teddy bear called Marky Sparky? Aw! I just want to hug you!" Kurt told a red faced Liam as he met him at the door, who grumbled something inaudible and hurried inside. Friday night I got a call that had my heart racing. "Mum and Dad are pissing off tomorrow night to my aunts place. Kane's meant to be watching me but he said he'll make himself scarce and Jill's staying at some friends house. So. Um... Do you want to stay over?" Woah. Oh sweet Jesus Yes. My heart was about to implode. "Um yeah. Sure. Might be cool." "Cool. Well um... I'll come pick you up tomorrow." "Cool." "Yeah cool." Um. Shit get off the phone Matt. Retain some dignity. "Cool." Fuck. There was a chuckle over the phone. "Um ok. Im going to go now. I'll see you tomorrow." He hung up. HOLY FUCK! I was going to get laid... for the first time. Laid. Sex. Bliss. I buzzed around the house for a few hours, generally pissing people off with my inability to remain in one spot for longer than two mintures. Kurt watched me with a smirk that suggested he had some idead of what was going on. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Ok got to calm down. I got barely any sleep that night and tossed and turned until Kurt almost kicked me out of the bed.
