			       The Chandlers
			       Chapter Five

			    Gerald and Franklin

Gerry was born five minutes earlier than Frank, and Gerry never let his
`younger' brother forget it.  He loved to remind Frank that he was the baby
of the family.

Brothers usually love each other more than they love their friends.  Twins
may even love each other beyond ordinary brotherly love, but what these
twins had between them was truly abnormal, in a good way.  Either one would
gladly submit to torture and death for the other.  They looked to their
older siblings for love and guidance.  They even loved the older boys
strongly, but nothing compared to the way they loved each other.

It just so happens that the twins had the smallest bedroom in the house.
When they grew out of their cribs, the room would not take twin beds
comfortably, so they slept in a standard size double bed.  Like two of
their older brothers, their father and their uncle, they were homosexual.
It was no problem for them to sleep together.

Bull sessions between the five brothers usually occurred at night in
Junior's room.  It was there that the twins learned about masturbation when
they were eleven years old.  The three older boys even demonstrated via a
circle jerk.  Gerry and Frank were mesmerized.

When they went to bed that night, Gerry suggested that they remove their
underwear, and sleep naked so they could practice masturbating.  They
always slept nude after that.  After two or three times of jerking off,
Gerry, who was `older', and who always took the lead, suggested they do it
to each other to see if it felt different.  Oh boy!  Did it ever feel
different?  After that, they always did the other.

When Harry told his brothers that Ellie Armstrong had jerked him off, only
the twins knew how good it was for him.  Junior and George were always
whining about their lack of sex.  Gerry wanted to advise them to do each
other, but he wisely held his tongue.  They might ask questions, and he
wasn't ready to let his brothers in on his and Frank's glorious secret.

As they got a little older, they didn't need mentoring from their older
bothers, who weren't getting much for themselves anyway.  Without anybody
telling them anything, the twins began to explore the possibilities of what
one lover could do for another.  They actually discovered and practiced
anal sex for a full year before they learned about oral sex.  By the time
they were fourteen, they had perfected their love making to proceed from
fondling and kissing, to oral, and finally to climaxing with anal sex.
They could have instructed their older brothers in the art of making love,
but when George met his geometry teacher, he could have taught the twins a
thing or two.  He wanted to do just that, but the twins never admitted that
they were lovers, and George was very closed mouth about his much older
lover.

At OSU, Junior was majoring in accounting, George was pre-law, and Harry
was pre-med.  John was delighted when the twins told him that they wanted
to major in pharmacy.  They were the last two at home and they were the
ones who now worked after school in the store.  The only time the five
brothers were together now was at school breaks.  The twins missed their
brothers desperately, and spent a lot of money on long distance telephone
calls.  For one year and one year only, they would all be together again at
OSU.

They all needed each other's love and support because they rarely heard
from their mother in Minneapolis.  She sent each one a small check and a
brief note at Christmas time.  John never heard from her, and he decided
that it was for the best.  As for her twin brother, Ron, with whom she had
shared a childhood, and with whom she had been so close, she never wrote or
called him once after she ran off.  As far as everyone knew, she still had
no knowledge of her brother's relationship with her ex-husband, so that
wasn't the reason for her lack of contact.  Ron believed that it was her
shame that kept her from staying in touch with John and him.

It was an ironic twist of fate that of the three older boys, George was the
only one getting lots of sex when he lived at home.  He and David hopped
into bed whenever they could.  Fear and restraint kept Junior and Harry
celibate against their wishes.  Once they got to college, Junior and Harry
had no trouble kissing their virginity goodbye.  It was George who had to
do a lot of jerking off to remain sane.  He and David had sworn to be true
to each other.

Shortly before their high school graduation, the twins asked Ron and John
for a conference in the living room.  When the four of them were gathered
together, Gerry started, "I'll be blunt.  It's no secret around this house,
that Frank and I are queers, but we want you to know, before our brothers
come home for the summer, that we are also lovers.  We know it's supposed
to be wrong, a terrible sin, but we love each other.  How can that be a
sin?"

"Gay," Ron said.

"What?" the twins asked in unison.

The word that is gaining favor to refer to a homosexual is `gay.'  Try to
remember that word as a substitute for `queer' and all those other terrible
expressions."

"Okay, but is that all you have to say about what we just told you?"

John stood up and put his arm around Gerry's shoulder.  "Relax," he said.
"Junior told us about you boys when he was sixteen.  All your brothers
know, and Ron and I know also."

"Shit," Frank said.  "We were hoping to shock you out of your long johns,
and everyone knew.  You can't keep a damn secret in this house."

"Yes, you're right about that," Ron said, "and say thank God that we are
the kind of family that doesn't keep secrets.  You can't be open and honest
like this unless everyone in the family loves each other unconditionally."

Ron took out his wallet and gave the boys a few dollars.  "Go see a good
movie and get out of the house," he said.  "Your dad and I have some
plans."

"I'd rather watch you two make love than go to a movie," Frank laughed.

"OUT!" Ron and John yelled at them.

When the twins first learned to masturbate at a fairly early age, thanks to
their older brothers, they passed their knowledge on to some of their young
friends at school.  This gave rise to a small group of six young boys who
participated in circle jerks.  They established that there would be two
winners a session, one for the first to cum and the second for who shot the
farthest.  It was from this core group that Gerry, who was very astute,
identified the boys who were along for the ride, and those who were queer
like he and Frank were.  He concluded that there were two more queer boys
in the group.  Eventually, the heterosexual boys dropped out, and the close
knit homosexual cabal consisted of the twins, Barney Hagen, and Cory
Cochran.

The four boys graduated from jerking off to having sex.  The twins enjoyed
sex with their friends, but in bed at night, they didn't have sex, they
made passionate love to each other.  Unlike Junior and Harry, they had more
sex during high school days than they could handle, what with their busy
school and work schedules.

They suspected that David Simms, the high school math teacher was their
brother George's lover, and as fate would have it, they ended up in one of
his classes.  They would flirt with him unmercifully until finally he took
them aside for a `talk'.

"You know about me and George, don't you?" he asked bluntly.

"No, we only suspected, but thanks for confirming," Frank said.

"Great!  Now will you give me some peace in class, please?"

"Absolutely," Gerry said.  "In case George hasn't invited you, we expect
you for Thanksgiving dinner next week."

"Thanks.  George has invited me, and we are going to come out to your
father now that George is over eighteen."

"Gee, that's swell," Gerry said.  "That's really good news."

"And Mr. Simms," Frank added, "welcome to the family.  You'll love us.
We're all a little crazy."

"Well, if not crazy, let's just say unusual."

A few days before Thanksgiving break, Junior called John.  "I'm sort of
seeing someone, Dad," he said.  "He and I are beginning to mean more to
each other than the others I've been with.  He's going home for Christmas.
May I bring him home for Thanksgiving, Dad?"

"Of course, you can, Son.  That's great news by the way.  Do you have any
more surprises?"

"Well, maybe.  Here's Harry, Dad.  He wants to speak to you."

"Hi Pop," Harry said.  "There's no good way to say this so I'll just say it
bluntly.  I'm seeing this girl, and I haven't told her about all of you.  I
have to try to find out how she would take it before I say anything.  She
wants me to go home with her for Thanksgiving, and I said yes.  I know it
will be the first time ever, we won't all be together.  I'm really sorry,
Dad."

"Nonsense.  This was bound to happen sooner or later.  I've been waiting
for the day.  Funny, I thought it would be George, and his not so secret
lover.  Thank God I have Ron, Junior has this new friend, who he's invited
to dinner, the twins have each other, and you have this young lady.  You'll
all be making families of your own soon enough.  What's your girl friend's
name and where does she live?"

"Jane," Harry said simply. "Cleveland."

The twins added their own surprise a day later.  "Dad, Cory Cochran's
parents are going to Florida for Thanksgiving.  Mrs. Cochran's sister lives
in Miami.  Cory really doesn't want to go.  He said that if he could stay
here, he could get out of it.  He could stay in our room, Dad.  He said
he'd bring a sleeping bag."

"Sure, why not?  The more the merrier.  But you better give him a head's up
on the sleeping arrangements around here.  I have a feeling that Dave will
finally sleep over in George's room, since Harry won't be around."

"Yeah, I know George and Dave will sleep together," Gerry smiled.  "You can
relax, Dad.  Cory is gay, (he used the new vernacular) and he knows all
about our family.  He wishes he was part of it.  He's been afraid to tell
his parents.  Maybe you can talk to him.  He needs all the support we can
give him."

"Sure!"

Cory moved in on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  He brought a sleeping
bag with him, but he and the twins managed to squeeze onto the standard
double size bed.  The first night there, they flipped a coin for who would
be in the middle.  It was a waste of a toss.  By the end of the weekend,
each one had his chance in the middle.

Dave came over Wednesday after school.  He placed his overnight bag in the
hallway.  Where should I put it?" he asked John politely.

"Let's cut out the coyness.  Put it in George's room."  John laughed, and
gave Dave a hug and a kiss on his cheek.  "You two have been the worst kept
secret I've ever tried to figure out.  Ice skating, indeed!"

George, Junior, and his friend arrived about an hour later.  They came in
Junior's car.  Junior introduced everybody to Carson Delong, his
`friend'. Carson and Junior fit like a pair of gloves.  Both were 6'2"
tall, blond hair, blue eyes, bodies like jocks, and devastating smiles.

George embraced Dave and they disappeared into George's room, while Junior
got Carson settled in his room.  Later, when the family was all gathered in
the living room, Junior explained that Carson lived in Toledo, and it was
too long a trip for him to make for just a weekend.  He chose to remain at
the university, but planned to go home for Christmas.

One of Ron's many talents was cooking.  He had taken over the job for the
household when Hope left.  His Thanksgiving dinner was a feast for kings,
but the men only had one idea on the brain, and that was getting to their
respective bedrooms to make love.  That night, sounds of love making could
be heard coming through the doors of each bedroom.  The noises fueled the
juices of everyone in the house.

On Friday, the family sat around in the living room and the twins kept
picking Junior, Carson, and George's brains about what to expect when they
got to OSU in the fall.

"They have hall monitors in the dorms," George said.

"Yes, and they make sure that there is no sex going on in the rooms, so you
two have a big problem." Junior added.

"Bull crap," Gerry said.  "You're putting us on."

"You'll also have to get used to calling me John.  I'm not Junior at
school."

"I think we should start calling you John at home also," John, Sr. said.

The room was filled with warmth and family love.  "I miss Harry," George
said, "but I have a much more interesting room mate this weekend.  He puts
out."  Everybody laughed.

"I miss Harry, too," Junior said, "even if he is the queer one here.  I'm
just not happy that he hasn't got the courage to tell his girl friend that
all his family is gay.  If she's the right girl for him, she won't give a
damn."

There was a knock on the door, and Ron went to answer it.  There stood
Harry grinning from ear to ear.  Holding his arm and smiling was the most
beautiful girl John, Sr. had seen since he first laid his eyes on Hope.
