Subject: Young Love In Black and White-2 (Interracial)

    Ever since they were little boys, Chris and Tommy played hard and, more
often than not, one would find them in a deep discussion during that play.
Well, while the two teenagers fooled around, they really discussed how they
were going to bring the subject of their falling in love with their parents.
Since neither boy lied to his parents, it was decided to bring it up at the
next family get together, which was that evening, coincidentally.

    Both families were sitting around the dining room table at Chris' house,
and the boys were being subjected to the "What did you do in school today?"
routine. Chris was telling of his run-in with his "friends", and you could see
that this story was making the adults very angry. It was then that Tommy
brought up what he and Chris had discussed.

    Looking at the adults, he blurted out, "Do you love Chris and I?" The
question itself shocked both sets of parents, but they answered the
question, "Yes, we do, Son.What made you ask?" At this point, both boys began
to cry softly. Chris' Dad answered the next question for the boys. "I think
what they're trying to tell us is they're in love with each other, is that
right?" Both boys nodded their heads.

    "Well," continued Chris' Dad, "It makes sense to me. They've been raised as
brothers and they have loved each other all their lives. I only ask one thing;
that you be safe and careful. No sex with others and don't broadcast your
sexuality to strangers. You could get hurt." The other adults agreed to support
their son's decision. The evening finished on a happy note for the boys.

    The next day, in school, wasn't so good. This time, Tommy got teased about
his friendship with Chris, during an English class study group. "Tommy, why do
you claim Chris as a friend? He's one of THEM, you know. He probably sells
drugs and runs with a gang. He shouldn't even BE in school," whispered a stuck-
up rich girl, named Stacy. "Stacy, what do you know? He's one of the smartest
guys in school. AND one of the nicest!", Tommy retorted, as he left in disgust.

    The things that Chris and Tommy had in common, besides loving each other,
were chess, martial arts, and video games. They loved to challenge each other
mentally at the chess board, and at an early age, they learned to watch each
other's back, as they both were bullied. They both had black belts in Karate
and Jujitsu, so they knew what they were doing. They didn't advertise that fact
too much, either, as it brought out more bullies, eager to try them on.

    One thing they did together was help the weaker kids, and that made them
very popular throughout the school. Size, disability, it didn't matter, if
someone needed help, they were there. Chris was about to be called for just
this reason.

    Billy Mathers, aged 12, had been affected by Cerebral Palsy at birth, ay
although he could walk and run, he did so with with a pronounced limp. Thus, he
was often an easy target for school-yard bullies. Today was no exception.
Walking across the baseball field towards the school, he heard the voice of his
worst nightmare. "HEY, GIMP-BOY!" Billy cringed, because he knew what was
coming. "Hi-ya, Gimp-Boy! Got my lunch money today?" For the last four years,
Billy had been giving this bully, Jason, his lunch money, and been going hungry
as a result. Nervously, he gave it to Jason. Sneering, Jason said, "Thank you
for your kind donation."

    As Jason turned away, he ran into Chris and Tommy, who had seen the whole
episode. "Jason, give Billy back his lunch money," Chris said quietly. "Oh,
yeah? And who are you? His Mommy?", snorted Jason. Jason's next move surprised
everyone. Jason began throwing punches at Chris, who stood his ground. It was
only until one of Jason's punches struck that Chris defended himself. With one
kick, Jason was out cold. Chris turned himself in for punishment, and received
one day's detention, plus a new friend. Jason had to re-pay every cent he took
from Billy for the last four years, plus he received one month's detention.

    When school was over, and they had gotten home, they went to Tommy's room
to do their homework. Once that was done, they realized that they were too
tired to fool around with each other, so they kissed passionately, and as Chris
left, he said, "It looks like the good guys won one, for a change." They kissed
each other's noses, and parted ways for the night.
