Ice Storm Chapter 17 "Russ, can I talk to you for a few minutes. I hate to interrupt your movie. But I need to talk to you for a while," Billy said, sticking his head in the door of the home theater room. "Uh, sure dad, what's up?" Russ said, getting up and walking towards the door. "Let's go in upstairs. I have some important things we need to talk about." "OK," Russ said, following his father up the stairs towards the bedroom that Billy was sleeping in. "This isn't gonna be easy, the things I want to talk to you about are serious, and I don't really know where to start." "It's okay dad. I think I know what you want to talk to me about. There is something that I want to talk to you about as well. Let me go first, and maybe it will be easier for you," Russ said, sitting down on the bed next to his father. "Dad, I've always known I was different. I never knew why, or how, but when all of the guys started liking girls, I still thought the girls were nice as friends, but not as something to be attracted to. I still wanted to be with the guys. I guess I am beating around the bush, and you always told me that if I have something to say, just to say it, not beat around the bush. So here goes, Dad, I'm gay. I hope you aren't mad or disappointed, but I can't change what I am, and I don't want to. You have always been there for me, and supported me in anything I did or tried to do. And I hope that I'm not a disappointment to you. I know you are probably disappointed that you won't have grandkids, and if it is that important to you, I will try to change, but I am happy with who and what I am." "Oh, Russ, how could I be disappointed if you are happy. And you are right, it does make what I have to say easier. I'm also gay. You have probably wondered why I didn't date since your mom died. Well, I also am gay. I've wanted to tell you for so long, but was always afraid you would be ashamed of your old man, for being a queer." "I know this seems like it is going awful fast, but Chuck and I were talking tonight. He is also gay, and I have a feeling that you know Randy is. Chuck and I haven't known each other long, but we seem to be getting along very well. He seems like such a nice guy, and I have been lonely for so long. If it doesn't bother you, I'm going to start seeing Chuck, as more than friends. I don't know how it will work out, but if you and Randy are getting along as well as I think you are, then it won't be any problem with me spending time with Chuck." "Well, Randy and I certainly won't mind. I know this isn't the kind of things most people talk to their dad about, but we have been… doing things too. We both like each other a lot." "Then it looks like this is going to turn out good for all four of us. Chuck asked me to move in here, but I didn't want you to feel like I was pressuring you, so I told him I would have to think about it. But if it is what you and Randy want too, then I think it would be great. It would give you and Randy time together, and me and Chuck time together. If things don't work out between you and Randy, then we can move back to the house. I'm not going to sell it, I will keep it, in case things don't work out for you and Randy, or me and Chuck, but if you want to, we can try it here, and see how it works. If things do work out, and we decide to stay long term, we can decide what to do with the house later. If nothing else, we can rent it out, if it looks like things are going to work out here." "Dad, you have made me so happy. Can I go tell Randy now? I know you probably want to go spend time with Chuck, and we will keep Trent and Blake out of the way for you. Don't worry about them, they are gay too. Well, I'm going to go tell Randy, he will be as excited as I am." "Okay, I'll see you in the morning. Nite-o," Billy said, hugging Russ. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Be Continued This is a story that I started a little over 4 years ago, I've got several chapters already written, and will be happy to post them, if it appears that some of you are enjoying the series. Let me know what you think. If you are interested in being notified when a new chapter is added to Ice Storm, I have set up a subscribable mailing list. Send an e-mail to icestorm@kerlak.com, with Subscribe as the subject and in the first line of the message. Each time I post a new chapter I will send out a message telling everyone that there is a new chapter. Also, I'm working with the host at Kerlak to establish a site there that will allow me to have all of my stories available on the web in one location. There will be more information on this in a note for a future chapter. Please send comments or constructive criticizm to therandyone@hotmail.com As always, flames will be ignored. I wish to express much thanks to Jarrett and Trey for their help in editing and getting this posted. Without their help, the posting of the story would be going much slower. I can't believe the number of responses that I have received about Ice Storm so far. The response has been overwhelming. Please continue to write, and let me know what you think. Your feedback is what makes posting this and other stories worthwhile. While replies may be slow, I will promise that I will do my best to reply to each and every one who writes. Keep those e-mails coming.
