****************************************************************************

Writer's note: This story is about what me and my friend went through and
what we are currently living through. This is pretty much the way our life
is. Why did we decide to write this? Because love has no gender, we cannot
help but to love guys, we did not choose this life, but now that we have
embraced it we love it. We changed the names of people and the location
because there are a lot of nuts out there and we really do not feel like
being stalked. There is plenty of cursing because us and our friends curse
like sailors, it's that simple. We want to thank you Miro for all the help
we know you thought we were nuts for wanting to write it but thank you
anyways. Enjoy and write Miro if you want to make a comment.

Editor's note: I was approached by "Kieran and Caleb" not too long ago
about writing this story after they found a couple of the Nifty stories
that I had saved on my desktop. I was very apprehensive about them wanting
to share their life and struggles with the general public. I made it clear
to them that I thought it was a bad idea but they insisted on sharing
it. They would like to help anyone out there struggling with their
sexuality to be true to themselves. This story is pretty much how things
went and how things are going for them, like all gay teens they have gone
through some struggles but they have jealously been protected by us, those
who care and love them. I have taken what they wrote (mostly Kieran) and
expanded it to make it more entertaining. The sexual content within this
story was extremely difficult to edit because it is something that I
believed should ONLY be between the boys and no one else, they wanted to
add it and with reluctance and after much thought I obliged. With that
being said I guard their true identity with absolute jealousy, it is
something that I have been entrusted with and I do not intend on breaking
my promise to their parents or to them. I welcome all comments, I will not
entertain any strange requests, so please don't even send them, thank you.

Before I begin with the rest of the story I want to apologize for not
posting new chapters sooner. I think a quick explanation is due, I
unfortunately am a super senior *grin* and for those that don't know what a
super senior is well it is a stupid-ass senior (like myself) that partied
too much in his senior year and did not graduate, yep you guessed right, I
failed my senior year in highschool so obviously I have been concentrating
on SAT's and other things trying to get my grades up (actually it wasnt my
grades that failed me it was my credits didnt have enough) anyhoo, I have
been on academic probation since the start of the year and since graduation
is just around the corner well the parental units (yes im part geek..not
greek...G-E-E-K) have been on my ass to graduate, without further delay
here comes my idiotic cousin and his story...


A KISS AROUND MIDNIGHT

Chapter. 2

Caleb Asher Mcgill was born on March 10, 2002, he was a welcomed surprise
to his parents Michael and Nicole. Their marriage was on the verge of
collapse when he came along which helped them realize that perhaps a
seperation was not the best option. Their first son Micah was born 4 years
earlier and was excited to be a big brother. He enjoyed helping his mother
care for the baby because it made him feel very helpful which he really
liked. Caleb was a typical child, except for the fact that he seemed to
attract people, he had a spark, a light, something that people enjoyed
being around. When he started kindergarten he became very popular, the
other kids really enjoyed being around him and playing with him. He made
sure that everyone was included in his games, he was always smiling,
singing and just being a happy kid. This same popularity followed him to
middle school where he used it to help other kids that he felt were being
bullied. As he was getting older Micah began to distance himself from him
and he couldn't understand why.

At the age of 11 Caleb began to be bullied by Micah and he couldn't
understand what he had done to deserve that type of treatment from the
brother he loved so much. This motivated him to stand up for the weak
because he knew what it felt like, he knew how humiliating it was to have
someone abuse him and he decided to speak up against it. He tried to speak
to his parents about it but they only told him to stand up to his brother,
this unfortunately did not work because his brother was now 5'-9" 160 lbs
and very strong. Now that he was 12 and in the 7th grade he was beginning
to question why Micah was doing what he was doing, he couldn't understand
his motives and when he tried to defend himself his brother simply
intensified his taunts and abuse. Life at home was at times rough
especially when Micah was in a bad mood, during those days he spent most of
his time with his best friend Karlan.

Karlan had known Caleb since the 1st grade, they instantly became best
friends and they shared everything with each other. There was nothing that
they didn't know about one another except for Caleb's nagging secret that
he tried to suppress any way possible. Caleb had a tinge of arrogance, he
knew he was good looking and he prided himself in the fact that he was a
good looking boy. He didn't play any sports but he did skateboard and
surf. He was somewhat obsessed with his abs and he showed them off any
chance he got. His platinum blond hair curled at the tips and reached down
to his shoulders. Being out in the Southern California sun for most of the
day he kept a perpetual tan year round and he disliked the tan line that
his board shorts gave him but he was too embarrassed and shy to ever tan
his entire body. At 5' – 1" and 100 lbs. he was one of the smallest boys
in his class but he didn't seem to mind that puberty had not fully began
for him. His dimples and storm-cloud gray eyes drove the girls wild, but
what he truly liked besides his abs were his long and curly eye lashes. He
knew that people really liked them and he enjoyed all of the attention he
got from all of his admirers. He tried to go out with girls but he quickly
became bored of the relationship and would make up any excuse to break up
without hurting the girl too much.

The 7th grade was off to a good start for him, the first semester was
uneventful and like the rest of the students Caleb was anticipating Spring
Break with great excitement. What he didn't realize was how much his life
was soon going to change.

Friday morning was unusually warm for Southern California, the heat was
steadily rising and no end to the heat wave was insight. There was a cool
breeze that Caleb knew wouldn't last too long. He enjoyed his morning walks
to school, they were peaceful and it gave him a chance to be alone with his
thoughts. He was ready for Spring Break even though he didn't have any
particular plans, he just wanted to skate around town and relax. He slowly
made his way to Mission blvd. and finally to his school. The hallways were
full of bustling students trying to get to their first period class. The
indistinct chatter and the slamming of lockers finally woke Caleb up. He
lazily walked to his locker and picked up the lone book inside.

As he walked down the hallway to his 1st period English class he spotted
his friend Karlan and right next to him was his girlfriend Chloe.

"Hey guys!" Caleb called out as he sped up past them and into the
classroom.

"Hey!" he heard them reply.

Caleb somewhat resented Chloe for taking most of Karlan's time, he was
happy that he had a girlfriend but he felt left out as if Karlan had
forgotten that they were best friends.

"Sup? Why the hurry to listen to Ms. Fritz?" Karlan asked as he sat next to
Caleb.

"Nah not in a hurry to listen to her, I just want this day to end! Caleb
yawned.

"Yup, we got a loooong day" Karlan replied.

The bell rang and immediately Ms. Fritz walked in the classroom closing the
door behind her.

"Good morning guys!" She cheerfully said as she stood in front of the
entire class with a beaming smile. "Before we begin I need all of you to
pass up your essays and I want you to clear your desks for a pop-quiz".

The class immediately erupted in groans and "awws" with a "fuck!" or two,
the loudest one being Karlan.

"Ms. Fritz...I forgot my essay..." Karlan groaned grabbing fist fulls of
hair as if trying to scalp himself.

"What the hell man?...See I told you all that hanging out you do with Chloe
jacked you all up" Caleb angrily whispered as Karlan's face began to turn
red in embarrassment.

"Karlan I'm sorry but you know that I have to deduct 30 points from the
essay, so if it was an A paper the best you will get is a C –" Ms. Fritz
said as she passed out the quiz.

"Okay I'll turn it in as soon as we come back from break okay?" Karlan said
as he turned to look at Caleb with a smirk. "I got this..." He said to
Caleb.

"Yeah whatever! And don't ask me to help you, you only need me when you
need help so nope don't even ask me" Caleb angrily said as he wrote his
name on the paper.

"Geez, what's got your panties in a knot?" Karlan asked obviously
hurt. What Caleb said was absolutely not true, he didnt just go to him
whenever he needed help? or did he? He wasn't sure but Caleb's words really
stung him, maybe he was jelous he had a girlfriend? He wasnt sure of that
either but he knew Caleb was upset at him.

Caleb ignored him the rest of the class and when the period was done and
over with he quickly left him behind and walked to the gym for P.E.

"Hey Pete! Hey Mark!" Caleb said when he saw his two friends already
undressing for P.E.

"Ugh! I'm so pissed at Karlan right now" He said as he began to take his
shirt and pants off.

"What's wrong?" The boys asked in unison.

"It's just that now that he's got a girlfriend he wants to ignore me and
not do his homework, this is like the 3rd essay he's missed and I've told
him he is going to fail but he won't listen"

"Yeah but you gotta let him take his bumps" Another boy said

"Dude...are you jealous!? Sounds like you are jealous!" Pete scornfully
said as the other boys began to laugh at Caleb.

"No you fuckup I'm not jealous, it's called being a good friend and I'm
just worried that he's going to fail that's all" Caleb indignantly said
quickly dressing in his P.E. gear.

"OWNED!" Jeffrey said as he pointed and laughed at Pete, "He told you huh
you fuckup?"

The other boys including Caleb began to laugh which made him feel guilty
for hurting Pete with his rant.

"Sorry bro, didn't mean anything by it I'm just so pissed right now and
yeah I took it out on you...not cool..sorry" Caleb uncomfortably said.

"WOAH! Check that out! K.C. is butt fucking that moron!" Jeff said as they
all turned around to see K.C. bear hugging Kieran from behind and trying to
wipe something on his face. Caleb began to laugh but was quickly taken
aback when he noticed the hate in Jeff's face.

"HEY FAG BOY you enjoy getting butt fucked by K.C don't you?" Jeffrey
angrily yelled at them.

Caleb couldn't believe he was hearing his friend say this, this was the
same friend who had recently said he would stand up against bullies, before
he knew it he saw K.C. rush Jeff, Caleb quickly grabbed him to avoid a
fight.

"FUCK YOU DUDE!" K.C. indignantly said, rage visible in his face.

"Yuppppp I'm all that and more bro, whatever you say is true" Kieran said
as he led K.C. away from Jeffrey.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Caleb snapped at Jeff as he pushed him
against the lockers.

Jeffrey couldn't be reasoned with, he wanted to get to Kieran and
K.C. anyway he could, he tried to push past him but Caleb and Pete held him
against the lockers until he calmed down.

"What is wrong with you man!? Talk to us, what'd he do to you?" Caleb
inquired trying to calm the situation down.

"Nothing it's just...fuck man Vicky likes him okay?..."

"WHAT!?" all the boys yelled in unison.

"You are ready to rip his head off over a chick!? I thought she broke up
with you?" Caleb incredulously asked.

"She did but I've been trying to get back with her, she told me she liked
Kieran and yeah I just snapped okay?" Jeff replied.

"Come on lets go play some basketball" Pete asked as he led Jeff out to the
gym.

Caleb noticed that Kieran and K.C. were on the far end of the gym playing
basketball, "good, they are far away" he thought to himself. He didn't want
to see anyone hurt and he knew that Jeff couldn't control his emotions at
times; he knew that he also had a temper problem but he didn't think it
would ever get this out of control. He walked over to a rack full of
different type of balls and decided to grab a basketball. He took it over
to where Pete, Jeff and the rest of his friends were standing around. He
heard Pete giving him good advice about letting go of his anger and about
moving on after a break up.

"Look if she doesn't want to go out with you anymore, don't force the poor
girl, hell if I ever went out with you I wouldn't want to come back man..."
Pete jokingly said trying to make Jeff feel better. Caleb saw that it was
working so he suggested that perhaps he should apologize to K.C. and Kieran
for the outburst.

"Yeah well I can do it to K.C. right now, I don't want to get pissed again
at Kieran so I'll apologize later when I'm more calm okay?" He replied to
Caleb's suggestion.

"Why are you so mad at him though? Is he going out with her? Caleb asked.

"Well...no he's not but that's the point...she is so hot and really nice
and he keeps ignoring her as if he is some big shot model or whatever, he
thinks he's too good for her and that just pisses me off"

Caleb was flabbergasted at what he was hearing, he couldn't believe that
Jeff could be so angry at someone who was not going out with the "girl of
his dreams" as he had previously put it.

"Okay that makes no sense, get over it, so he doesn't like her, that
doesn't mean he thinks he is better than her or anyone for that
matter!...Have you ever tried to talk to him?" Caleb inquired.

"Nah, I tried a while back and he just said hi and kept moving"

"Yeah same here, I guess he doesn't want a lot of friends" Caleb airily
said.

"No it's not that, he thinks he is better than all of us, he's a spoiled
little rich boy that thinks he can buy his way out of life!" Jeff angrily
retorted.

"HUH!? Now that's just retarded, how the hell do you know he's rich to
begin with?"

"Well I dunno if he is, I'm just saying that his attitude just sucks!" Jeff
continued.

"Look man enough, just go talk to K.C. and get it over with, I know you
Jeff, I know you are not some jerk that likes to act this way, just get it
over with and we can move on, its FRIDAYYYY!" Caleb said as he smiled at
Jeff.

Jeff reluctantly went to where K.C was at and began to talk to him, when he
saw that they were talking peacefully and most importantly without
annihilating one another Caleb decided to walk over to where the rest of
his friends where playing basketball.

He suddenly heard a commotion coming from where he last saw Jeffrey at. He
cringed at the thought of a fight and ran as quickly as he could before the
coach got there and suspended Jeff. When he reached Jeff he couldn't
believe his eyes. Kieran was being held back by his friends and Jeffrey was
on the floor holding his throat. Kids were laughing and talking about how
Kieran had put him on a choke hold and was choking him out. "GO! Kieran
GO!" He thought to himself. He didn't advocate violence at all, in fact he
hated violence but in a way he was proud of Kieran for finally standing up
for himself even though he felt terrible Jeff had been hurt.

"Make a hole...Make a hole!" He heard the coach say as he struggled to make
it to the center of the crowd.

"What is going on here!?" he asked looking around to see what was going
on. He didn't see any blood so he didn't think a fight had broken out.

"Nothing coach" Kieran said as he walked up to Jeff to pat him on the back
"he was just chocking on a piece of candy and I helped that's all"

"Is that true?" the coach asked.

"ye..yeah...exactly" the boy struggled to say.

"okay go to the nurse right now...thank you Kieran but next time make sure
one of you gets my attention immediately, is that understood?" he said as
he walked away.

Caleb couldn't believe the quiet kid, the kid that he secretly had a crush
on was THIS slick, he was in awe of him and he began to giggle
uncontrollably.

"What's the matter with you?" Pete asked.

"Oh dude nothing it's just that I didn't think Kieran had it in him! He was
quick with that lie huh? Man what is this world coming to when you can't
trust the quiet ones anymore?" He giggled.

Pete gave Caleb a puzzled look "You my friend are nuts, anyways, you
should've seen it though, Kieran completely kicked his ass! Deserved it
too, he punched him right on the gut for no reason man! I couldn't believe
Jeff was acting like a douchebag!" Pete continued.

"Oh yeah? So he started it then?" Caleb asked.

"Oh yeah no doubt, K.C. was still pissed so he was acting all tough and
shit and you know Jeff he doesn't take that too lightly and yeah one thing
led to another, Kieran got in between them and Jeff just punched him on the
gut, I felt so bad for him but damn next thing I know Kieran had Jeff on a
lock and wasn't letting go! Marcus had to pull him off him it was
hilarious!"

"Yeah poor Jeff though I should go check on him, I'll be right back okay?"
Caleb said as he made it to where the coach was sitting keeping a closer
eye on the students now.

"Hey coach can I go check of Jeff please?" Caleb asked.

"Yeah but hurry back, and could you please tell him he's excused for the
rest of the period? Thank you." The coach said.

Caleb hurried out of the gym and past the corridor and into the 8th grade
hallway, normally there would be a group of 8th graders jealously
protecting their hallway but since it was during a class period he had free
reign of the hall and for a fleeting moment he had an urge to tip over the
garbage cans but he quickly decided against it. When he reached the nurse's
station he saw Jeffrey sitting in a chair looking angry as ever.

"DON'T START CALEB PLEASE DO NOT START" He angrily said.

"What!? I'm just here to check on you man, I'm not starting anything if you
want me to leave I'll leave" Caleb curtly said obviously hurt by Jeff's
retort, he quickly remembered that he had snapped at Karlan earlier in the
day and immediately wanted to apologize for it.

"No its okay I'm just pissed at what Kieran did man" Jeff said, obviously
embarrassed for snapping at Caleb.

"Please man, don't do anything else, just let it be okay?" Caleb begged.

"Yeah I'm done, don't worry" Jeff quietly said.

"Promise?"

"Yeah Yeah I promise" Jeff said as he smiled back at Caleb.

"Oh before I forget Coach Hernandez said you don't have to come back to
class if you don't want"

"No its cool, I'll be there once I'm done I'm really okay"

"Okay man, see you soon" Caleb said as he walked back to the gym.

He thought about Kieran as he walked through the 8th grade hallway
wondering where his locker was, he wanted to leave a note telling him how
cute he thought he was and how much he wanted to talk to him but he was so
afraid that someone would spot him and tell Kieran that it was him who left
the note.

Caleb had known for a very long time, ever since he could remember, that he
was different from other boys. He remembered that him and Karlan would
sleep together and snuggle next to each other whenever they had a
sleepover, what Karlan didn't know was that while he slept Caleb watched
him sleep. He really liked watching his chest rise and fall as he
breathed. There were a few times where he carefully kissed Karlan on the
lips, there was one time where he swore that Karlan was awake but he never
asked and Karlan never told him. Things were very confusing for Caleb, he
knew that he was different but he was afraid of his feelings for other
boys. He didn't want to be ridiculed because he enjoyed being popular, he
enjoyed the attention he got from people even though he didn't seek it out.

He didn't want to lose their love, he felt that if he lost his friends his
life would be miserable because things at home weren't going all too
well. His parents were always working, and his father being an attorney
worked late hours on some of his cases. His mother was an accountant so by
the time she came home from work she was so exhausted that she really
didn't pay him any attention. He truly felt alone at home, that is why he
enjoyed all the attention he was receiving from people, it replaced
everything he didn't have at home and he truly didn't want to lose
that. Now that Karlan had a girlfriend he felt alone most of the time, and
to make matters worse he couldn't escape his house whenever Micah was
bothering him too much.

When Caleb finally made it back to the gym the first person he wanted to
see was Kieran, he saw that his friends were huddled over him as he sat on
the gym floor with his face buried in his knees, it looked as if he was
sobbing. Caleb wanted to run over to him and hug him, he wanted to hold him
tight and take his pain away, he didn't like to see him sob this way. He
noticed as Vicky reached down and hugged him "Oh man, I hope Jeff doesn't
see this" he thought to himself as he saw Kieran being comforted.

After a few minutes Jeff made it back to the gym still looking sore but
less angry, he walked over to where his friends were having a conversation
and without saying anything to anyone sat on the bleachers. Everyone looked
at Jeff and smiled, they didn't want to laugh or make any comments about
how Kieran chocked him out, they had all agreed not to speak about it while
he was gone.

"So? What are you guys going to do this Spring Break?" Sarah asked breaking
the ice.

"Oh we're going up to Sacramento to visit my aunt" Pete said with a smile
"I love going over to her place, she's so awesome".

"How about you Jeff? Got plans? Sarah asked.

"dunno, might go to Six Flags or something, dunno, if I don't go I'll just
hang around here and skate" he replied, his voice was still hoarse and it
looked as if he was still in a bit of pain.

"Can I come?" Sarah enthusiastically asked.

"Yeah if you want but like I said I dunno when we're going...how about you
Caleb want to come also that's if we go?" Jeff said.

"Yeah that would be cool actually...wait! I'm a genius" Caleb responded
with a giant smirk on his face "How about we ask everyone to come?"

"Heck yeah! Good idea, but who to ask?" Jeff responded.

"Whoa! Wait a minute I had this very same idea about a month ago and I got
ignored...and now that he says something all of a sudden you want to talk
about it? So not fair! I won't be able to go!" Pete complained.

Caleb stuck his tongue out at Pete "HA HA HA" he sarcastically said
sticking his tongue back out.

In an instant Pete was on Caleb trying to pry his mouth open. Caleb started
to scream, moan, and groan in the middle of his laughing fit as he
desperately tried to get away.

"I'll rip...it...out!" Pete grunted trying with all of his might to open
Caleb's mouth.

"Get him off!" Caleb pleaded as he continued to laugh hysterically at Pete.

Jeff and Sarah both pulled Pete off of him but he quickly lunged for Caleb
again making him start to laugh again "Okay Okay I'm sorry Petey!" he
struggled to say between his giggling.

"Serves you right you b-hole" Pete said obviously winded.

"B-hole?...really? We're on that now? Okay Mr. I don't want to cuss
anymore" Jeff retorted.

"Whatever, anyways you pricks have fun without me...how's that for not
cussing?" Pete replied sitting back down on the bleachers looking defeated.

Caleb was still trying to regain his composure as he also sat back down on
the bleachers away from Pete just in case he decided to attack him once
more. Sarah had stopped laughing and was looking around the gym "I'll ask
around now guys, see you" she said as she left them.

"Yeah I'm out too, the period is almost over" Caleb responded as he headed
for the locker room. Caleb immediately tried to look for Kieran to speak to
him but he couldn't spot him "he's probably changing now" he thought to
himself. As he walked into the locker room he heard the coach blow his
whistle signify the period was over.

Before he knew it the locker room was full of smelly teenage boys "Dang!
Some of these guys reek" he thought to himself as he walked to his
locker. He finally spotted Kieran and looked intently at him, he didn't
know if it would be okay to speak to him, perhaps Kieran would think that
he was going to start an argument being Jeff's friend and all so he decided
against it. He continued to look at Kieran and noticed that he really
enjoyed watching him change, he loved his body, he watched as he dropped
his gym shorts, bent down and picked them up, it sent shivers throughout
his body as he saw Kieran's ass staring back at him. His heart began to
race and he felt his stomach tighten up and the thought of what those
boxers were hiding. He forced himself to stop looking and immediately felt
guilty for lusting over a boy, he was disgusted in himself for staring at
another boy in that way.

There were times where he was really hard on himself, he was so disgusted
in himself at times that he felt that he had been cursed by God, he even
believed he was broken, all these feelings caused him to feel inadequate
around other boys and even lonely. He was slowly entering a world of
despair the more he realized that he was attracted to other boys.  He
quickly got dressed and got the hell out of the locker room, he didn't want
to continue to look at Kieran or other boys.

The rest of the day went without a hitch, there were no further issues
between Jeff, K.C., or Kieran which was a relief to him, and when the time
to go home came he rushed out of school without saying good-bye to his
friends, he figured they would call him later if they wanted to hang
out. The sun was beaming and the heat was almost unbearable. He slowly
walked the streets of Encinitas making his way home. As he turned into D
street he saw Kieran running towards him, fear clearly etched on his face,
he was being chased by a group of older boys on skateboards and right along
with them he saw Jeff.

He was in shock, he couldn't believe what he was seeing and before he knew
what happened he saw as Kieran was tripped. The poor boy landed in front of
him without a loud thud and a deep guttural grunt as all the air escaped
Kieran's lungs. Without any hesitation he covered Kieran up as he saw the
boys foaming at the mouth trying to get at him. He looked at Jeff and
couldn't recognize him, hate was in his eyes, he wanted to rip Kieran
apart.

"What the hell?! HEY LEAVE HIM ALONE!"  Caleb yelled at Jeff, he couldn't
believe that his friend was this cruel but what got him even more angry was
the fact that he PROMISED he wouldn't do this but here he was doing the
very thing he said he wouldn't do. " "Get the hell out of here Jeff, I told
you to leave him alone! GO NOW!" He yelled as loud as he could.

"Fine whatever, he got the point, we're done" Jeff replied as he motioned
to his friends to skate away. When he figured it was safe he got up and saw
Kieran still lying on the ground. He felt so bad for him, he was
embarrassed that Jeff was his friend.

"Holy Hell Kieran are you okay?" Caleb called out.  He watched as Kieran
rolled over onto his back and was glad to see that he wasn't hurt too
badly.

"Yeah thanks for the help...can you help me up?"

"Of course come on" Caleb said as he gingerly helped Kieran up.

"I'm a bloody mess, ugh mom is going to kill me" he whimpered.

"Bloody mess?" Caleb thought to himself "a little over dramatic but
whatever"

"Nah she won't, just tell her you fell or something" Caleb said as he
brushed the gravel off Kieran's shirt.

"No I gotta tell her the truth, I promised I would"

"ah okay, well cant' break the promise I guess"

"Wait...you know my name?" Kieran asked surprised.

"Yeah why wouldn't I? You're in my P.E class so why wouldn't I know your
name" He replied. He thought it was a strange question since he had known
his name for years now he just simply thought that it was Kieran who never
wanted to talk to him.

"Dunno just figured you didn't even know who I was" Kieran sheepishly said.

"What!? Of course I do you're the kid that never wants to talk to me" He
jokingly replied "okay I gotta walk you home...lean on me". Kieran leaned
on Caleb and since Caleb was shorter than Kieran it worked out just
perfectly.

"I did want to talk to you but your friends hate me as you can see" Kieran
said as he leaned on Caleb and limped back home.

After a slow and painful walk back home they made it to Roseta Dr. and into
Kieran's home.

"Where to?" Caleb asked.

"Just right here is cool, I gotta take me a shower quick" Kieran said as he
winced in pain. He took his shirt off and threw it down on the floor.

"Oh fuck!"

"you okay?" Caleb asked as he watched Kieran struggling to get the rest of
his clothes off "here let me help" he continued. He unbuckled Kieran's belt
buckle and then carefully undid the button on his shorts. Kieran wiggled
out of them and stood there in front of Caleb in nothing but his boxers and
socks. Caleb couldn't look away, right in front of him was the boy he had a
secret crush on and he just simply couldn't look away no matter how hard he
tried. Kieran suddenly began laughing almost hysterically "What the fuck?
He's gone off the deep end" Caleb thought to himself shocked that after an
ass kicking Kieran was laughing.

"What? what's wrong?" Caleb asked inquisitive about what Kieran found so
funny.

"Oh man if my mom or dad walked in on us right now, me all bloody and
shit...in my boxers...and you standing in front of me...they would think
you were raping me or something" He said as he continued to laugh.

Caleb couldn't believe what he heard "Is this guy serious?" he thought,
immediately he thought of a retort to make "Wait, why do I have to rape
you? I don't want to be a rapist! Plus you can't rape the willing, thought
you knew that already" he said as he smiled at Kieran.

"Oh so I'm willing now huh?" Kieran said as he continued to laugh.

"Well I would think so man just look at me, you can't resist my sexiness"
He cringed at what he had just "Oh fuck...how lame was that?" He thought to
himself.

"Yeah damn right, I completely agree" Kieran responded.

Kieran's comment caught him off guard, he didn't know if Kieran was playing
right back or if he was serious and before he knew it his lips were moving
"Honest? You think I'm sexy?"  he asked, "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU IDIOT!" he
thought to himself. He felt his face, neck, ears, hell everything turning a
bright red "OKAY OKAY CALM DOWN CALM DOWN CALEB" he said to himself trying
to calm himself down.

"HELLLLLL NO man, I'm delirious remember?" Kieran jokingly said.

"Oh okay this dude is just joking with me, cool as shit!" he thought to
himself as he began to calm down.

"You sticking around? Cus I gotta take me a quick shower and wash this
blood off, my room is down the hall if you want to go in there and chill
but yeah I gotta hurry" Kieran said.

"Yeah I'll stick around I don't want to leave you just yet just in case you
need me"

"Thanks bro" Kieran said as he walked into the shower.

He watched Kieran walk down the hallway and into the shower, he decided to
explore the house before Kieran came back out. He looked around trying to
find Kieran's room until he found a room with a sign that said "Do Not Feed
the Wild Animal Inside" which he found amusing. He carefully opened the
door and was surprised to find a very neatly organized room. "Whoa not bad"
he thought to himself as he crept further in the room. He looked up at the
ceiling and saw something that reminded him of his own room, a ceiling full
of stars "Cool!" he thought. He saw a picture of Kieran and K.C. on the
night stand next to his bed, it looked like it was taken a couple of years
back, they were staring back at the camera with giant grins on their faces,
they were at a San Diego Padres game and by the looks of their grins
enjoying every bit of it.

He walked over to the dresser and opened it. He found a drawer full of
shirts, boxers and socks which gave him an idea that excited him yet
revolted him all at the same time. He looked around but could not find what
he was looking for "ah ha! The closet!" he thought as he walked towards the
white sliding door. He carefully opened it and began to laugh at what he
saw. The closet was full of clothes thrown on the floor, he had a telescope
that was laying on the floor, shoes and socks strewn about, a complete
mess! Then he spotted what he had been looking for, a white clothes hamper
full to brim with dirty clothes. His heart began to race, and he felt a bit
light headed. He reached in the hamper and pulled out the first boxer he
spotted. It was white, cotton, with a black waist band. DBZ was written in
yellow, black and red on the front with a black button to close the fly,
the back had the face of Trunks and on each side Vegita and Goku were
locked in combat. He turned the boxers inside out and brought them up to
his nose being careful to spot where he believed Kieran's dick rested, he
took a deep breath and breathed Kieran's aroma in. His dick immediately got
hard as he smelled Kieran's scent, he quickly put them back in the hamper,
closed the closet door and walked out of the room carefully closing the
door behind him.

He walked back to the living room and sat on the recliner still smelling
Kieran's scent on his nose. He then heard the shower going off, he stood
back up and walked down the hallway towards the bathroom to wait for
Kieran. He looked down at his crotch to see if his dick was sticking
straight out and sure enough it was quite obvious he had an erection. He
quickly adjusted himself to attempt to hide his erection as best as he
possibly could right as Kieran came out the bathroom and walked into his
room. Caleb followed him and stood there looking at Kieran trying to hide
his erection.

"Could you leave for a sec I gotta change" Kieran asked as he walked
towards his dresser.

"you're kidding right...You do know that I've seen your junk at school
right?" Caleb said.

"Fine then stay I was just being nice that's all".

"Oh well thanks I appreciate it but it's nothing I haven't seen".  He felt
his face turning a bright red for the second time "SHUT UP YOU IDIOT...you
keep messing up!" he thought to himself.

"Oh so you admit you've stared at my junk huh?" Kieran half-jokingly said.

Caleb's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know how to respond. If it was
somebody else asking this very same question he would've had a witty remark
but since it was true his mind went blank. He didn't know what to say until
the first thing popped in his mind "Well yeah dude, you were standing in
front of me that one day having a full fledge conversation with K.C,
actually that's almost an everyday thing with you" Caleb nervously
chuckled.

"Oh crap...that's true, I just don't care man, it's no big deal I say"
Kieran responded as he looked down at his crotch.

Caleb then realized that Kieran was just like him, he didn't really care
about exposing himself, he didn't really see what the big deal was. Caleb
was known to walk around his house in the nude after a shower so to him a
naked body was just that, a naked body not to make a big deal about, well
of course if it wasn't Kieran's naked body because he did think Kieran's
naked body WAS a big deal.

"Yup that's what I say too, people turn it to a big deal, it's just your
nuts and dick...whoopty doo, with you though I dunno you got an ant eater
so its a big deal, you dont see a lot of those around". Caleb said trying
to make Kieran laugh.

"huh? Ant eater? What kinda shit is that?...you are very and I do mean very
funny" Kieran said as he reached into his dresser for a pair of boxers.

"Did I just piss him off?" Caleb thought to himself "What? its true!" Caleb
replied as he looked around his room picking things up, inspecting them and
setting them back down.

"So yeah seriously thank you for stepping in on that one, that sucked man
I've never had my ass kicked like that before" Kieran said in a low tone of
voice, obviously still shaken by what had just transpired.

"Yeah I'm so sorry about Jeff, I told him to stop bugging you, I hate it
when he calls you a fag plus he doesn't know if you are gay or not, PLUS
even if you were who the hell cares man its your business". Caleb said
wanting to reassure Kieran that he did have people outside of his circle of
friends that did stick up for him and for anyone who was getting picked on.

"thanks for doing all that, I didn't know none of that, so you have been
sticking up for me all along?" Kieran inquired.

"Oh yeah, I stand up for you whenever someone wants to talk crap, it's not
a lot so don't worry but when they do, like today, I stand up for you, I
hate bullies and that's what Jeff is, trust me I am NOT talking to that kid
ever again...I guess I just lost a friend but gained a better one huh?"
Caleb said as he extended his hand out to Kieran.

"Yeah exactly, and thanks for all that, I don't know what to say..I really
don't" Kieran said as he stood there in silence. Caleb didn't know what
else to say except that he cared about him but he didn't want to open his
mouth and say something else he would regret so he let silence take over.

"Want to come over tomorrow? You know...so we can get to know each other
better?" Kieran asked breaking the silence.

Caleb became instantly excited and before he could stop himself yet again
he said "We can't hangout tonight? I got nothing to do, well unless you're
busy". He couldn't believe how nervous Kieran was making him, he thought it
was terrible that he kept blurting things out instantly regretting it, he
didn't want Kieran to think he was a moron or something but he just
couldn't control his excitement.

"No I'm not busy so hell yeah you can stay". Kieran said sounding as
equally excited.

"Your mom won't care?" Caleb asked wanting to make sure things would be
okay with his mom so that he wouldn't make a bad first impression.

"Nope she'll be cool about it OH, you gotta call your mom or dad and tell
them where you're at though cus if they are like mine they would flip out"
Kieran said.

"Yeah good point, let me call her real quick kay?" Caleb said as he reached
for his phone and dialed the number.

After a couple of rings his mother picked up sounding concerned "Hello?
Caleb is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yeah no worries mom, I was calling to ask if it would be okay if I could
spend a few hours at my friend's house? Caleb excitedly asked.

"Sure I have no problem with that, do you have money? Maybe you can get
yourself something to eat before you go" She asked.

"Yeah I got enough and I'm already here Jeff had a fight with him, actually
he jumped him with some other idiots and I helped carry him home" Caleb
said.

"WHAT!? What do you mean he jumped him? Who got jumped? Are you hurt? Is
your friend hurt? Did you call the police?" His mother quickly asked.

"No Mom!, Okay, CALM DOWN! I will tell you what happened later and no
Kieran didn't get hurt he's the one that got jumped, well a couple of
bruises and scrapes, no biggie, anyways I'm not hurt and the pigs don't
need to get involved" Caleb responded.

His mother loudly sighed and he knew that he had pushed the boundaries by
calling the police "pigs". His mother did not approve of him cussing or
calling the police "pigs", it was the same with the rest of the parents but
when Caleb and his friends got together they let lose a torrent of fucks,
sluts, whores, dicks, cocks, assholes, cunts and any other word they could
say.

"Please don't call them that and we'll talk about it when you get home I
love you, I have to go now" She said as she hung up the phone.

"thats that...she said it was cool to hang out so yeah..." he said as he
continued to look around Kieran's room.

"So what's Jeff's problem with me? I havent done ANYTHING to him why does
he hate me?" Kieran suddenly asked. Caleb saw worry, pain, and confusion
written all over his face.

"Oh thats simple, I thought you knew it already...his ex is madly in love
with you!" Caleb smiled


"WHAT THE FUCK!? Vicky is his ex?!...that is soooo fucked up man I dont
even like her man I tried to get her off my back but she...ugh...this is so
stupid!" Kieran groaned.

"HA! I know I can tell! Every time I see you talking to her you look
bored!" Caleb chuckled.

"IT'S NOT FUNNY!!" Kieran angrily yelled. "I DO NOT..I REPEAT...I DO NOT
LIKE HER! Tell that psycho friend of yours I do not like her!"

Caleb was taken aback by his outburst, for the second time today he
remembered what he had done to Karlan earlier in the day and felt
absolutely horrible for doing that to his friend.

"woah hold on man It's not my fault, so dont yell at me okay?" Caleb
pleaded.

"Yeah sorry man its just that I'm sick of this, It's so not my fault she
likes me, I tried to get her off my back I promise".

"Yeah no worries I will talk to him but you gotta calm down okay?" Caleb
soothingly said. "You dont have to explain it to me, and plus if she likes
you so what?"

Caleb stood there not knowing what else to say to Kieran, he was out of
words, all he wanted to do was comfort him but he was so nervous about
touching him, he didn't want his new friend to find out that he had a crush
on him so he awkwardly stood there not saying anything. He watched as
Kieran walked to his closet and opened it to reveal the pile of clothes he
had seen before, he pulled out shorts and a t-shirt and put them on.

"So want to check something out?" Kieran asked with a huge smile on his
face.

"Yeah sure what is it?" Caleb responded, he didn't care what Kieran showed
him, it could have been a turd on the lawn, all he wanted to do was spend
some time with him.

"Before I show you I gotta ask...what kind of music do you like?"

"Anything except for country, its too depressing...OH! and I kinda dont
like rap, some is cool but most of it sucks." Caleb responded.

"Okay good, so want to listen to my type of music?" Kieran excitedly asked.

"Yeah sure but what is it?" Caleb inquired, his interest was peaking.

He saw as Kieran walked out of his room and motioned for him to follow him,
without uttering a word Kieran led him through the laundry room and through
a wooden door that opened to a dark room. Kieran turned the lights on and
stood there with a huge smile on his face.

"Woah man who's the DJ?" Caleb asked as he walked towards the turn tables
that were sitting on top of a platform, he looked around the room and
noticed the padding that covered the walls. He didn't know what it was so
after poking the walls a few times he asked Kieran what they were.

"Oh! that keeps the neighbors from killing me" he said with a giant grin on
his face. "I can melt your face off if you want"

"HA! Nice what kind of music do you play?" Caleb asked.

"Well its hard to describe it you just got to listen to it but its kinda
late right now I cant play any music past 5 PM and yeah its getting there
so if you want I can play it tomorrow but what do you think?" Kieran
excitedly asked.

"Well I dunno I need to hear the music to let you know what I think" Caleb
responded

"NO! I mean my room, what do you think? you like?..OH shit wait up turn the
light off real quick" Kieran said as he reached over where the platform
was, he flicked on a switched and suddenly different color lazers came on
that shot across the room making different designs on the wall along with
some black lights that were attached to the ceiling of the garage. Caleb
turned the light off and the whole room was lit up by the black lights and
lazers that were continuing making different designs on the walls and the
ceiling.

"Woah no wayyy! that is so bad ass!" Caleb shrieked. The gears in his head
began to work, he immediately thought about throwing a party in here, he
looked around the room and saw that it could hold at least 15 people, it
was big enough for a small get together.

"Yeah cool huh? Well yeah thats what I do for fun but I gotta show you the
rest tomorrow...come on lets go make something to eat" Kieran said as he
led Caleb out of the garage, Caleb hesitantly followed Kieran into the
kitchen.

As he saw Kieran digging through the freezer for some food to share with
him a wave of happiness came over him. He wanted to let Kieran know that he
was a friend he can count on, a loyal friend that would be with him no
matter what. "You know what? I regret not talking to you sooner, you're
pretty cool" Caleb said as he stood in front of Kieran with a huge smile on
his face "We are going to be good friends huh?"

Kieran stopped rummaging through the freezer and looked back at Caleb, the
boys locked eyes and in an instant they both felt that they would indeed be
the best of friends "Yeah man I hope so!" Kieran said through his grin. He
pulled out some hotpockets and threw them in the microwave.

Caleb stood next to Kieran, they both bent down slightly to peek at the
hotpockets as they spun in the microwave. Caleb was excited that their
friendship was growing, he knew that things with Kieran would not only be
interesting but fun.
