Subject: A Kiss Around Midnight 5

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

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.

I feel the need to apologize, I have been swamped with finals and other
school related crap, some of you already know that I will be finally
graduating from high school in just a few weeks and I've been extremely
busy with all of that. Unfortunately I have been distracted so I haven't
really put out my best work in the last few chapters including this
one. Once the madness is over I will have enough time to really put the
other chapters together in a better way. I probably shouldn't have put out
these out the way they are but I wanted them out as soon as possible so if
the quality is poor please forgive me.

A KISS AROUND MIDNIGHT

Chapter 5

Kieran glanced over at Caleb once again drawing his attention away from the
slice of pizza he was nearly inhaling.

"What!?" Caleb asked for the 5th time spitting small particles of pizza out
as he spoke.

"Nothing..." Kieran replied almost in a whisper.

Caleb was beginning to worry that he had upset him for giving him the kiss
earlier; it was something that he felt they both needed at that time. His
emotions were running wild, the music had evoked memories of a time when he
and his brother got along, he didn't know why the music had done this but
it was painful, they were memories he cherished and kissing Kieran soothed
the pain in his heart.

Kieran sighed and went back to eating but without thinking he looked once
again at Caleb, he wanted to ask about the kiss but the words escaped
him. He didn't know how to approach the subject; he wasn't really sure what
to even say.

"What's wrong?" Caleb asked giving Kieran an odd look.

"Nothing..." Kieran responded once more almost in a whisper.

"Bullshit!" Caleb said taking another bite of his pizza.

"I'm just confused, did you actually mean that?" Kieran asked turning his
body to face him.

"What are you talking about" Caleb said genuinely looking confused.

"Yeah...never mind..." Kieran impatiently replied.  "Want another slice?

"Yeah!" Caleb said shoving the rest of his pizza in his mouth.

Kieran got off the couch, walked to the kitchen and grabbed 2 more
slices. He felt strange, he loved the kiss, it made him feel great but he
wasn't sure if Caleb meant it the way he wanted him, perhaps Caleb kissed
him because he wanted to play some sort of a joke, either way it didn't
matter, a door had been opened that would never be shut again, not even if
he tried. He wanted to be himself, he liked boys, especially Caleb and
after the kiss he knew that he wanted more.

As he walked back to his room he noticed how quiet and serene the house
was, it was a big contrast to when everyone was home, Jamie was always
running around with his minions, his group of friends that were like a pack
of wild animals devouring unsuspecting prey. He didn't help much, his music
was always blaring, he loved music and made sure everyone knew that.

He looked at the clock and it read 4:30, he knew that Caleb would be going
home soon and he would soon be alone with his thoughts. He remembered that
he still needed to call K.C and tell him about his run-in with Jeff and how
Caleb helped him, he was sure that he was upset for not calling him sooner
but that was going to have to wait. He loved K.C like a brother, they had
shared many, many great memories but he knew that K.C would only be his
friend, there wasn't a gay bone in his body and he was okay with it.

As he handed Caleb his slice of pizza he didn't immediately bite into it as
he had done to the other ones, he set it aside and looked at Kieran
concerned that he had offended him some kind of way.  "You gonna tell me
`sup?" Caleb asked. Kieran said nothing, he sat back down and stared at the
T.V "Hellooo?" Caleb pressed.

"Did you mean it? The kiss?" Kieran finally said.

Caleb didn't understand why Kieran was asking this, he kissed him because
he wanted to kiss him, he meant it, he needed it. He thought that he made
how he felt very clear when he didn't run out of the house screaming rape
after Kieran had fondled him, he was honestly offended and hurt by the
question.

"Of course I meant it! Why wouldn't I mean it? He angrily replied.

"Well I dunno man, I'm just all fucked up right now cus I dunno if it was a
regular kiss like a friend kiss or if it was more?"

Caleb couldn't believe that Kieran was confused about it, in his mind he
couldn't have made it any clearer, it wasn't just a "friend kiss" as he had
put it, it was more, much more.

"What the fuck is a friend kiss?...I don't know any friends that kiss on
the mouth man, at least not my friends anyways" Caleb said a bit impatient.

"Well okay I know it's just...I dunno man that's why I didn't want to talk
about it...can we just watch T.V?" Kieran responded looking defeated.

Caleb's anger and annoyance immediately abated when he saw how cute Kieran
looked when he pouted, he thought that he looked like a small child as he
sat with his arms crossed and his lips pursed. He wanted to prove to Kieran
that it wasn't a kiss that had no meaning behind it, he wanted to make a
statement, without warning he lunged at Kieran pinning his back on the
couch and as best as he could straddled him. He made sure to position his
ass right over Kieran's dick. He wiggled it enough so that Kieran's soft
shaft was right in between his butt cheeks; he felt it immediately begin to
fill with blood and get hard. It sent shivers down his spine and throughout
his entire body.

Kieran's initial reaction was to fight back, he bucked his hips as he tried
to get Caleb off of him but he had been pinned pretty well and when he
noticed that Caleb had no malicious intent he allowed Caleb to stay on top
of him. He felt Caleb's ass wiggle making his dick get hard, he gasped as
he felt his friend's butt cheeks part and snuggle his dick in between
them. The silky fabric of his basketball shorts and his loose fitting
boxers made it much easier for Caleb to tease Kieran, he knew that Kieran
was feeling every inch of his ass and he loved knowing that Kieran's dick
was enjoying all of the attention.

"Does this seem like a regular kiss" Caleb whispered as he leaned down and
softly placed his lips on top of Kieran's. He gently stuck his tongue in
between Kieran's lips and slowly parted them. His tongue was immediately
met by Kieran's and they gently rubbed them together. The boys were in
ecstasy, Kieran's hands explored Caleb's body, he rubbed his back down to
his ass and back up his back. Caleb continued prodding his tongue into
Kieran's mouth. He waited until Kieran stuck his tongue back in his mouth
and began to suck on it as if it was a piece of candy. Kieran softly
moaned, he had never experienced something like this, all of his worries,
his concerns were immediately gone, he knew that Caleb had indeed meant the
kiss. They were lost in this special moment, nothing else mattered, not
Jeff, not school, nothing, all that mattered was that they were
together. The scrapes and bruises were numb, he didn't feel an ounce of
pain, all that he felt was Caleb's love enveloping his very being.

"Aww! How cute! Is this you guys' first kiss?" they heard Kieran's mom
squeal. Caleb immediately jumped off Kieran and was paralyzed by fear. The
blood drained from him, he felt as if he was going to pass out, he looked
around and saw Ivan smiling and Jamie giggling. "We didn't know you guys
were going out!" She continued to squeal excitement radiated off of her.

Caleb was frozen in complete panic, he tried to hide, to die, but his body
wouldn't respond, he didn't know what to do, "DO SOMETHING, MOVE!" his
brain yelled at him and in his panicked state ran out the front door as
fast as his feet took him. Kieran called out his name but Caleb didn't
stop, he got up and tried to run after him but his mother stopped him. "LET
ME GO!" He yelled pulling away from his mother.

"Let him go son, he needs to process all of this" His father said as he
helped his wife restrain their son.

"NO! I gotta go after him!" He began to cry.

Kieran's parents hugged him tightly, enveloping him in a cocoon of love,
support, and understanding. Ivan looked at Tasha and nodded, they let go of
Kieran "Go talk to him and bring him back" Ivan softly said as they watched
their son run after Caleb.

Kieran had never ran so fast in his life before, his lungs burned and his
muscles ached but he couldn't stop, he needed to reach Caleb as fast as
possible. He didn't know where exactly Caleb lived but he was determined to
find him even if it meant he had to knock on every door in town to do it.

Caleb had never felt this humiliated before, he felt as if his entire world
had just collapsed. He knew, he just knew that before long the whole school
would find out that he was gay, he knew that his brother would hate him
even more, and his parents? Well he was sure they were going to disown him
for being a freak, a mistake. All sorts of questions raced through his
mind, fear had over taken him, he was thinking irrational thoughts,
thoughts that he knew were irrational but somehow they seemed like they
would solve his current problem, he had to stay away from Kieran at all
costs.

Kieran was desperately trying to find Caleb he turned into one street but
saw nothing, he ran some more and turned into another street but found no
one or anything that he recognized. He remembered that he had Caleb's
number when he sent him the zombie picture, he quickly reached into his
pocket and pulled out his phone and dialed his number. The phone rang as he
continued his search but no one answered, he stuck his phone back in his
pocket "FUUUCK!" he yelled in frustration. He was becoming desperate, he
didn't want to lose his friend, they had become great friends in a short
amount of time and wasn't willing to lose that.

As he turned into another street in the distance he saw a boy that looked
like Caleb sitting on the curb with his head buried in his knees oblivious
to the world. Kieran rushed to him and quietly sat next to him, Caleb
hadn't noticed him, he was trying to hide from the world.

"Hi..." Kieran said startling him.

He tried to stand up but Kieran quickly grabbed him by the wrist and held
onto him.

"...please...please don't go..." He pleaded with tears streaming down his
face.

Caleb didn't know how to deal with all of this, his head felt like it was
going to burst and at that moment he welcomed death. He saw that Kieran was
genuinely hurting and concerned, he didn't like to see him cry, he was
torn, he wanted to run but he didn't want to hurt Kieran.  "What do you
want" Caleb asked.

"Please come back, we need to talk, please!" Kieran continued to beg.

"No way I'm going back, I can't!" Caleb groaned.

"But why? Why can't you go back?" Kieran was almost whining.

Caleb quietly sat for a minute and looked at Kieran, he admired how
beautiful he looked, even with tears rolling down his face Kieran still
looked beautiful to Caleb. He couldn't stand seeing anyone cry or in pain,
he instinctively put his arm around Kieran and pulled him closer to him, he
wanted to comfort him but he was afraid to go back to his house, there was
no way he was going to confront Kieran's parents, he knew that they were
going to tell his parents and it was just a matter of time that the school
would find out.

"Dude, you're mom and dad just caught us!" Caleb said turning a deep shade
of scarlet.

"So? They don't care, honest! You just freaked them out when you bolted out
the house" Kieran patiently explained.

Caleb's irrational thoughts began to take over, he knew that there was no
way his parents were okay with what they had just walked in on, no parents
in the world would be okay with that he thought. "Yeah right, you're
lying!" Caleb coldly said.

"I would never lie to you! Kieran angrily responded "and if you're going to
accuse me of that then go fuck yourself" Kieran violently pulled away from
him and got up to leave but it was now Caleb who prevented Kieran from
leaving.

"You can't go..." Caleb said.

"Why the fuck not?" Kieran snapped.

"Because I forgot my house key in your room...and cus I don't want you to"
Caleb responded sounding embarrassed. The boys both looked at each other
and began to laugh.

"Look bro, no frills, no holding back, no lies, and NO BULLSHIT got it? You
got to answer this before I go anywhere with you" Caleb said looking more
serious than he's ever looked. "Are you gay?" he asked.

"Yes" Kieran said without hesitating, "are you?"

Caleb thought for a second and nodded his head yes.

"I want to hear you say it" Kieran said.

"I'm gaaayyyy" Caleb responded almost in a mocking tone.

Kieran got up from the curb and extended a hand out to Caleb "Come on we
gotta go back to my house, you really freaked my mom and dad out, they feel
hella bad now" Kieran giggled. "So is this your place?" He asked as he
motioned to Caleb's house.

"Yep...whenever you come just open the gate on the side and walk in the
back yard just knock on the first window you see, that's my room" Caleb
responded as they both walked back to Kieran's house. The boys said nothing
to each other the rest of the way back, Caleb was enjoying how quiet the
streets of Encinitas looked. The sun was now setting and a cool ocean
breeze was bringing relief from the heat. Life, the world, everything
seemed different, both boys were at a loss for words, things were moving
fast, too fast, thought Caleb. His heart sank when he walked into Kieran's
house and saw his parents sitting in the living room watching T.V

"Oh hey Caleb...please sit!" Kieran's mom enthusiastically said. He walked
to Ivan's recliner and sat, he felt even smaller as he sank into the
leather cushions, he awkwardly tried to sit up trying to make himself look
bigger, perhaps even more brave, but the recliner wasn't being good to him
it made him look like a lost and scared little boy.

"Hey Jamie could you please go to your room" Ivan said.

"Aw! I don't wanna" Jamie complained.

"Well that's too bad dude, you gotta go! Grown folks are talking" Kieran
said making Caleb smile.

Jamie reluctantly left his mother's side and walked away complaining about
how unfair it was. Kieran sat on the couch between his parents, he wanted
to feel their warmth, he wanted them close by for support.

"Okay, let me begin by saying that we are so very sorry for scarring you,
we did not want to scare you off like that sweetie!" Tasha lovingly began.

"You are always welcomed in our home, always, this..." Ivan said as he
waved his hand in a sweeping motion across the living room "means nothing,
a real home is one that welcomes in everyone, where family, love, support,
and understanding is found, this IS your second home and we want you to
feel safe here at all times.

Caleb was feeling tingly and weak all over, he couldn't comprehend what was
going on, he was confused, he thought that his parents were going to yell
at them; he thought that he would be banned from ever coming to their home
but here they were telling him that everything was okay, that he had
nothing to worry about.

"I know you're afraid sweetheart, but we're not here to judge you. We love
Kieran very much and if this is who he is, who YOU are, then we love you
all the same and I'm sure your mom and dad feel the same way" Tasha
interjected.

Caleb's face flushed red, he was dreading the subject "I doubt that..." he
mumbled.

"No, I'm pretty sure they would support you, I know your dad, I've known
him for years and as far as I know he is a reasonable guy, you are his son
and he loves you, there is no way he would reject you" Ivan responded. "We
are not going to force you to talk about it and we are certainly not going
to out you to your parents, that will be a decision that you have to make
but remember that you are NOT alone, we are here for you, the only thing
that I have to say is that I am worried that this is moving fast, you just
met each other and now it looks like you are in a committed relationship,
there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but we were teenagers once, we
know all about the ravages of puberty and how powerful the teenage hormone
is, so if you are going to have sex, make sure-"

"DAD!! OKAY STOP IT!" Kieran yelled as he buried his face in his hands
turning a deep red. Caleb felt his entire body radiate heat, he was
absolutely embarrassed.

"I'm just saying that IF you are going to do it make sure you do it out of
love and please lock your door okay?...no one wants to walk in on you
guys!" Ivan light-heartedly continued.

"Well we've only kissed and that's all we got planned to do so far, I know
we just met but I've been wanting to talk to him for ages, ever since we
stopped talking back when I was in the second grade, I dunno why we stopped
talking back then but ever since then I've been wanting to talk to him
again" Kieran interrupted.

Kieran sparked a memory long forgotten by Caleb "Oh yeah!" he excitedly
said "I've forgotten all about that, we were told we couldn't talk to the
older kids or something like that, but yeah I was in the first grade and I
liked playing with you and when they told me I couldn't play with the older
kids I just stopped." Caleb said.

"One last question and I need an honest answer" Ivan interrupted "are you
guys in a relationship? Are you guys boyfriends?"

Kieran and Caleb looked at each other and as Kieran said yes, Caleb nodded
his head yes.

"Okay well just know that we are here for you okay?" Ivan said smiling at
Caleb.

"Never forget that you are NOT alone got it?" Tasha added.

"Okay so if we're done can we go now?" Kieran asked standing up.

"Yeah we're done here, I love you guys" Tasha said with a smile.

"Love you too!" the boys responded in unison.

Caleb moved down the hall as quickly as he possibly could practically
pushing Kieran into the wall as he walked passed him and into the room. He
laid down on the bed and groaned loudly.

"You okay?" Kieran giggled.

"No man that sucked! Ugh they had me all worried" Caleb responded.

"Nah, their pretty cool I just know what not to do but this, well they
don't care as you saw"

"So we're going out now?" Caleb asked now sitting up on the bed.

"Yup guess so, you cool with that?" Kieran responded.

"Yeah...just never thought I would be going out with a guy though so yeah
it's kinda weird"

"Really? What's the big deal?" Kieran asked.

"Well it's not a big deal that I like another guy it's just that I'm not
like all the gay people out there you know? I'm not all I dunno...fruity?"
Caleb said

"Dude...really?...not all gay people act like that, some you can't even
tell they're gay, I'm gay and you couldn't tell right? " Kieran said
becoming irritated by Caleb's comment.

"Yeah I know I didn't mean it all lame like that it's just weird that I'm
out to your mom and dad! Ugh that's so just I dunno weird!" Caleb
responded.

"Can you spend the night again?" Kieran asked trying to change the topic.

"Oh why? so you can rape me?" Caleb giggled.

Kieran locked the door behind him and quickly took his shirt and pants off,
he let out a maniacal laugh and walked towards Caleb.

"HEEEEEELP!" Caleb yelled as he saw Kieran coming making him jump back.

"Shhh shut the fuck up dude!" Kieran said through gritted teeth.

"Hell no dude, I'm not going to get my cheeks taken like that..." Caleb
responded as he grabbed Kieran's pillow and placed it over his crotch.

"Your cheeks taken? Please! You'll give them up like that" Kieran said
snapping his fingers. "Plus that pillow is not covering your ass..."

"You're right but still..." Caleb said smirked.

"Fine then I guess if you don't want me I'll get dressed" Kieran replied as
he turned around to walk away. Caleb lunged for him and grabbed him around
the waist and pulled him down making him sit on his lap.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To get dressed, you don't want me so I guess I gotta put my goodies up"
Kieran said trying to get up again. Caleb pulled him back down and gently
gave him a kiss on his neck.

"Nope, you're not going anywhere, I want you bad, you have no idea but
I'm..."

"A pussy!" Kieran interrupted.

"Oh yeah? A pussy huh?" Caleb responded tossing him on the bed and trying
his best to get on top of him. Kieran was now laughing uncontrollably. He
was finally able to turn Kieran around on his back while he laid on his
side, he had him pinned with one leg and held an arm down with his. He
leaned in close and tenderly kissed Kieran on the cheek. The boys embraced
and began to passionately kiss, Caleb rubbed Kieran's chest and slowly
moved his hands down to his stomach making Kieran twitch and recoil "What's
wrong?" Caleb asked.

"Nothing...ticklish" Kieran responded quickly not wanting to stop kissing
Caleb.

Caleb continued moving his hand down Kieran's stomach until he reached the
elastic waistband on his boxers, he carefully reached inside and moved his
hand down until he reached the tip of Kieran's dick. He brushed up against
it with his fingers making them both shudder in delight. He gently took
Kieran's hard dick in his hand and gently squeezed it. He loved how warm it
felt, how different from his own dick it felt. He wanted more, he wanted to
experience everything all at once, he began to lightly stroke Kieran making
him moan softly. They suddenly heard a soft knock on the door making them
both jump; Caleb quickly took his hand out of Kieran's boxers and jumped
off his bed.

"Caleb your dad's here" Jamie quietly said.

"FUCK!..What the hell is he doing here?" Caleb asked in a panic.

"Dunno, hurry up and go see" Kieran responded as he quickly got dressed.

"Shit...shit...shit...can you tell I got a boner?" Caleb asked as he looked
down on his crotch.

"Dunno, come here let me see!" Kieran said, Caleb quickly walked over to
him and pushed his hips out. Kieran grabbed Caleb's hard dick and held
it. "Hmm yep guess you do" he said laughing.

"Okay...really funny...I gotta get it down!" Caleb groaned.

"Don't worry man he won't be able to tell...just go out there" Kieran
responded.

"I can help" Jamie said as he walked in holding Fred the scorpion.

"NO! Fuck that, keep that away from me" Caleb said running to the other
side of the room.

"HA!" It worked!" Jamie said pointing down at Caleb's crotch.

The boys laughed as Jamie walked out of the room, Caleb was relieved that
Jamie took the scorpion out, he was beginning to really hate that thing. He
opened the door and left the safety of Kieran's room as his heart began to
pound in his chest, all sorts of outlandish thoughts came to mind, he was
wondering if someone had seen them kiss or if his father found out by some
sort of secret parent super power that he didn't know about. As he walked
out to the living room he heard his father talking to Ivan in the
kitchen. He walked over and saw his father drinking a beer with Ivan and
Tasha. "Dad?" Caleb called out sounding surprised.

"Hey bub, what are you doing here?" He asked just as surprised.

"Hanging out with Kieran...and you? What are you doing here?" Caleb asked
looking at his father and then to Ivan and Tasha.

"Just stopped to say hi is all, I have friends too you know" Michael said
pointing his beer bottle at Ivan and Tasha.

"Oh, okay then...Can I sleep over?" Caleb asked grinning at his father.

"Well is it okay with them?"

"Oops sorry, Tasha can I sleep over tonight?"

"Yeah it's not a problem with us." Tasha responded shrugging her shoulders.

"Well can I dad?" Caleb begged.

"Yeah I suppose so, just call your mom and let her know okay?" Michael
said. Caleb walked to his father and gave him a hug. He wished him a good
night and walked back into Kieran's room.

"Everything okay?"  Kieran asked.

"Yeah he knows your mom and dad, OH and I asked if I can spend the night
and he said I could just that I gotta call mom so hold on" Caleb said as he
reached for his phone. He dialed his mom and spoke to her for just a few
minutes. He let her know that his dad gave him permission and told her that
his dad was talking to Kieran's parents right now. His mother gave her
permission to sleep over and wished him a good night. He was excited that
he was going to spend the night with Kieran again, perhaps this night they
would get to know each other in a much different way.

Caleb smiled at Kieran "Yep she said it's cool".

"Nice, but we gotta talk real quick okay?" Kieran said as he sat on one of
his bean bags leaving Caleb to sit alone on his bed.

"About?" Caleb asked concerned.

"Well it's just that we were moving kinda fast just now and yeah we should
prolly slow down, I don't mind the kissing and stuff but we shouldn't jump
into doing more stuff yet okay?" Kieran said.

Caleb was annoyed that Kieran wanted to wait, it was him who had fondled
him first, and now he wanted to wait? He couldn't understand why Kieran
felt this way. "But why? Did I do something wrong?" he asked Kieran.

"No no, don't think that it's just that I want things to go slow when it
comes to that stuff, I want it to be good and not just some random thing
okay?" Kieran explained.

"I don't get it dude you were all for it before dad came and now you're all
different? Whats really going on?" Caleb asked irritated that Kieran was
backing down from something he really wanted to do.

"Nothing is going on I just want you to be sure you want to do this with me
before we do it and yeah I want to take it slow is all, is that cool?"
Kieran patiently tried to explain.

"Yeah I guess" Caleb coldly responded. "I gotta check my phone so yeah"

Caleb reached for his phone and randomly checked his messages not wanting
to continue the conversation, he was angry that he had been worked up so
much to have Kieran not want to do anything.

"Are you mad?" Kieran asked.

"Nope I'm good" Caleb again responded coldly.

Kieran sighed and got up, he knew that it had been a bad idea to bring up
the subject but it was something that he had been wrestling with since
Caleb rushed out the door. Things at the beginning were rushed but now he
wanted to take things slow, they rushed into a relationship but he
certainly didn't want to rush into sex.

He felt very strongly about it, he wanted to make sure that Caleb really
loved him before he gave himself to Caleb. He also wanted to make sure that
Caleb was truly sure that he wanted to be with him, he was afraid that
Caleb was allowing his hormones to get the best of him. What was more
important to Kieran than sex was their friendship, he wanted it to survive
and was afraid that if they did give into sex their friendship would
fracture. In his mind waiting for the right moment was going to ensure that
their relationship would survive. He knew that sex could either over
complicate a relationship or make the bond that much tighter but he wasn't
willing to put THEIR relationship to the test, not yet anyways.

"What are you doing?" Kieran asked Caleb trying to spark a conversation.

"Nothing"

"Oh okay, want something to eat?"

"Okay"

"Well what do you want?"

"Anything"

Kieran walked over to where Caleb was sitting and gently kissed him on the
forehead "I love you" Kieran said knowing that he wouldn't get an
answer. Caleb simply looked up at him and went back to playing with his
phone. Kieran sighed and walked out of his room, the cold shoulder that
Caleb was giving him was really hurting but he understood him. It was hard
for him to make that decision because he also wanted to rush into sex but
was worried that it would fracture their friendship.

Sex for Kieran is something that is not as important as a friendship, he
believes that sex is something that expresses a person's feelings for
another, their true feelings and if it is randomly done it loses its magic
and he didn't want that to happen to their friendship.

When he reached the kitchen he saw Michael and instantly recognized him. He
remembered that Michael had always visited his parents ever since he could
remember and he always spoke about his two sons, he didn't know who they
were but he had always been interested in meeting them.

"Hey Kieran!" Michael smiled. "Guess you and my son are friends now eh?"

"Yep...just met him" Kieran said extending his hand out to shake Michael's
hand.

"So your mom and dad were telling me that you guys are pretty good friends
now" Michael asked shaking Kieran's hand. He shot a look at his mom and dad
as if to say "you better not have told him". They smiled but said nothing.

"Yeah we're pretty tight" Kieran responded.

"Well that's good, maybe next weekend you can come spend the night at our
place? Kind of unfair that your mom and dad have to put with Caleb for too
long, he can be a bit of a handful at times" Michael joked.

Kieran's parents both assured him that Caleb was well behaved and that
their home would always be open to him and to the entire McGill family,
Michael thanked them and turned to Kieran "keep him outta trouble, he can
be a bit of a follower so he's always getting himself into messes".

"You don't gotta worry about us, I'll make SURE to keep him outta trouble"
Kieran smiled and turned to his mother "Mom we're hungry can you make
something?".

"What time is it?" She asked surprised.

"It's getting late its half past 7, it's time for me to go, I'll stop by
another day, tell Caleb to behave" Michael said drinking the last bit of
his beer.

Michael shook Ivan's hand and gave Tasha a hug and kiss, they both walked
him to the front door watched him as he walked back to his home.

"Hmm...funny...didn't know that his son was Caleb" Kieran absentmindedly
said more to himself than out loud.

"So what do you boys want?" Tasha turned to Kieran and asked.

"Uh, how about some sandwiches? Turkey, Swiss, sourdough?" Kieran grinned.

"Okay I'll take it to you guys in a few".

As Kieran turned to go Tasha reached out and grabbed his hand "Sweetie, I'm
really proud of you for being honest with us but especially with yourself,
if you ever need to talk or if you have questions just come to us okay?"
Tasha said as she smiled warming Kieran's very soul.

"Thanks mom.." Kieran replied giving her a hug.

As Kieran walked back into his room he noticed that Caleb wasn't staring
down on his phone anymore but had his eyes closed while he listened to his
iPod. He walked over to Caleb and bumped him on his foot startling
him. "What!?" Caleb angrily asked.

"Dude what the hell is wrong with you all of a sudden you're all shitty?"
Kieran snapped.

"Nothing okay? I just want to be left alone that's all" Caleb responded
closing his eyes again.

"Ugh you're impossible! You're mad at me aren't you?" Kieran asked.

"Hmm let's see here, yep you're a genius you know that?

"Look for whatever it's worth I'm sorry, I dunno what I did to piss you off
all I know is that I am sorry, I don't want you mad so please try not to be
mad okay?" Kieran pleaded.

Caleb's heart melted when he saw that he was really hurting Kieran, he
wanted to let him know that he was irritated at him but his intention was
not to really hurt him, he was just wanting Kieran to know that he was
annoyed that he, all of a sudden, changed his mind about fooling around.
He sat up on Kieran's bed and looked deep into Kieran's eyes.

"Okay look I'm pissed that you don't want to mess around anymore." Caleb
said.

"No you're wrong, I never said that, I just want you to be sure that it is
something you want to do because you LOVE me and not because you're horny,
I'm not just a piece of ass that you can fuck and that's it" Kieran
responded.

"I get that and I appreciate it, by the way this isn't a one way street, I
don't want to just do stuff to you and not return the favor, that's not how
I am, I just thought that it was what you wanted, you're the one that
grabbed me when I was asleep `member?"

Kieran immediately began to blush, he had forgotten that he had indeed
grabbed Caleb while he was asleep but he didn't intend for it to be an
invitation for all out sex, he was simply curious about how Caleb's dick
felt and in the heat of the moment he went for it.

"Yeah I'm sorry for doing that but I was only wanting to grab it, that
didn't mean I wanted to suck it" Kieran sighed "look, I hate fighting with
anyone especially with you so can we stop this?"

"Fine! It's just that I wanted to do things with you" Caleb whined.

Kieran smiled and patted Caleb on the shoulder "Don't worry you just have
to have patience and when we are both ready it will come okay? But for now
how about we just kiss and maybe touch? You okay with that?"

"B-O-R-I-N-G!" Caleb joked "Nah, just kidding I think that's a bad idea
because I get wayyy too worked up and yeah I'll just want to do more after
that and yeah it'll be a mess."

"You have like, no self-control huh?" Kieran joked.

"Well I do it's just that I've been wanting to do things with you for a
long time so it's hard to keep him in control" Caleb responded grabbing on
his crotch.

Kieran laughed, "So how long have you felt that way about me?" he asked.

"Dunno, umm since like 5th grade I guess, that's when I really noticed
you".

"Why didn't you ever talk to me? You always saw me and never said
anything".

"Yeah I did bro, I said hi a few times and you kinda blew me off, you said
hi back but I dunno you seemed like you didn't want to talk." Caleb replied

"Don't remember ever blowing you off, I was prolly nervous to talk silly"
Kieran smiled.

"Guess so, anyways, we're friends now so doesn't matter" Caleb replied.

Their conversation was interrupted by Tasha who brought their sandwiches
and water bottles in. The boys thanked her and immediately began to eat,
they hadn't noticed how hungry they were until they began to salivate at
how delicious the sandwiches looked. Neither boy spoke during the meal,
they sat in silence not wanting to say something else that might trigger an
argument.

Caleb was feeling conflicted, he wanted to have sex with Kieran but also
wanted to respect his wishes, he felt annoyed at himself for even getting
upset at Kieran, he watched as Kieran ate and how happy he seemed. His
whole body began to feel warm and tingly he began to realize that the
feelings he had for Kieran were real, that it was love that was making him
feel warm and tingly and nothing else.

"I love you Kieran, I really, really love you" Caleb said smiling.

His words caught Kieran off-guard, he looked at Caleb who was smiling at
him and noticed something different in his eyes, he also felt warm and
tingly when he saw the expression on Caleb's face and knew that what he was
saying was coming from his heart, it wasn't something forced or something
superficial.

"I love you too Caleb" Kieran responded. "You're not saying that just to
fuck me are you?" Kieran joked but unfortunately Caleb didn't take it as a
joke, he again felt irritated that Kieran could think such things about
him.

"Really dude? You're on that?" Caleb indignantly replied.

"No it's a joke Caleb, relax" Kieran said.

"Oh, okay now I feel stupid I'm just dunno, I don't want you to think
that's all I want cuz its not!" Caleb said trying to defend himself.

"Oh I know no worries" Kieran reassured him.

Jamie once again knocked on the door, cracked it slightly and peered inside
"Hey K.C. is here" he whispered and closed the door again.  "Oh fuck, bet
he's pissed" Kieran said.

Caleb simply shrugged as the door opened. K.C. looked confused as he saw
Caleb sitting on Kieran's bed, he had no idea that they knew each other, he
looked over at Kieran and back to Caleb not knowing what to say.
