It Can Work Out
Chapter 4


It had been two weeks since the boys met. They had spent every day at
school and several afternoons together. They were becoming more and more
comfortable around each other. This, to both boys, was a blessing... and a
curse. Both had initially been attracted to the other physically, but in
the time they've spent together, they were becoming more attracted to each
other on a more personal level.


Andy was faring better than Tommy since he had come to grips of his
sexuality before meeting. Tommy's emotions, on the other hand, continue to
plague his ability to accept Andy in his life without being conflicted and
confused. He was finding it more difficult to hide his feelings from Andy,
but he also thought he felt something coming back. Something Andy wasn't
telling him. He was more and more confused.


One Friday evening after Andy had gone home, Tommy once again went to the
Trevor Project website and entered the chat.


Tommy: Hey guys Roger: hey tommy, how ya?  Ashi: hello tommy, good to see
you again Mikie: whats up, man?  Tommy: im a little confused Roger: what ya
confused about?  Tommy: well, theres this guy I kinda like Ashi: Cool!
Trevor(mod): Hi Tommy, what about this guy?  Tommy: well, I really really
like him a lot and I think he likes me but I don't know if he likes me like
that.  Trevor(mod): have you told him you're gay?  Tommy: what? No way!
Trevor(mod): why not?


Tommy had to think for a minute before answering:


Tommy: What if I tell him and he gets all weird on me? What if he hates me?
Trevor(mod): From what I've heard from you, I don't think he'll react
badly, but, you need to do what you think is best.  Tommy: I dunno... I
guess.  Tommy: We are supposed to go to the mall tomorrow.  Ashi: Man,
you've been cool since you been coming here, just do what you think is
right. You will know when it's the right time.  Tommy: Thanks Ashi, you've
been one of my best friends here.  Trevor(mod): Ashi gave you good advice,
Tommy. Follow your heart.  Tommy: Thanks guys. You're awesome.


Tommy disconnected. He sat on his bed thinking. He was a little nervous
about a lot of stuff that related to Andy. Maybe he should tell him what he
was feeling. But what if it went wrong?

Meanwhile, Andy was talking to his Grandfather on the phone:


"Hey Grandpa, I need some advice."


"What kind of advice?"


"There's this kid at school. Since I've been here, he's been the best
friend I could ask for. Only..."


"Only, you think you like him as more than a friend?"


"Yeah, kinda. Heck, I don't even know if he's gay!"


"What does your heart say, Andy?"


"My heart tells me I think I love him."


"Well, you asked for my advice, so I'm going to give it to you. As I see it
you have two choices. One, tell him. Or two, wait and see what
happens. Telling him means you risk him reacting badly, but on the other
hand it shows you are willing to go for what you want. Waiting and seeing
what happens is safer, but it will take longer if his feelings for you are
actually the same as yours for him."


With a chuckle in his voice, Andy replies, "Gosh, Grandpa, that really
doesn't help much."


"Andy, You have only known him a couple weeks. If I were you I'd wait. Just
a little while longer. You never know, he may be having this same
conversation with his Grandfather."


"Yeah, you might be right, Grandpa. Thanks. I love you Grandpa Mike!"


"I love you too, kiddo."


Andy hung up the phone and went to his bed. He couldn't get Tommy out of
his mind. Everything about him was perfect. In his mind's eye, Andy saw
Tommy. He fell asleep with Tommy on his mind. He began to dream.


---


Andy was walking along a beach. The sun was shining, a slight wind
blowing. The sound of the waves gently crashing upon the shore. The smell
of the fresh sea air. The feel of the sand beneath his feet and running
through his toes. As he walked he heard birds singing. It was relaxing. He
continued walking, then, off in the distance, he saw another person,
standing, enjoying the view.


He approached the person, eventually realizing it was another boy, about
his age. He was still too far away to make out exactly who this person
was. Slowly, he approached and eventually saw that the boy standing there
was Tommy.


It was at that moment that Tommy noticed him and waved. Tommy called out,


"Hey Babe, it's beautiful here isn't it?"


"You called me, Babe?" Andy said in a confused tone.


"Oh, come on, we've been calling each other that for over a week. Ever
since you told me you were gay and I told you I was too. Don't tell me you
forgot this..." Tommy then wrapped his arms around Andy and kissed him. A
deep and passionate kiss.


Andy was lost in the sensation. The feel of Tommy's arms around him were as
comforting as he'd ever felt. Their tongues, as they dueled for supremacy
excited him as nothing ever had. The kiss continued. Andy felt Tommy moving
them, sitting then laying on the sand under Tommy's body. Having Tommy's
body half laying on him added to his excitement. The feel of Tommy's skin
on his, the sensation of Tommy's heart beating in his chest. Tommy's hands
caressing Andy's body. His chest, sides, hips, and legs.


Andy was further aroused when Tommy broke the kiss and began lightly
sucking on Andy's neck, alternating with kisses, then gently kissing his
way down until taking a nipple between his teeth and gently nibbling on
it. Tommy then moved further down, kissing Andy's chest, then
stomach. Tommy stopped at Andy's belly button, gently probing it with his
tongue. It was at this time that Andy first realized they were both naked.


Tommy then moved down and gently licked Andy's hardness, from tip to base
before moving back up and allowing it to enter the confines of his hot and
moist mouth. He went down on Andy's inches slowly and sensually while his
hands stroked Andy's balls and thighs. It was mere minutes later that Andy
felt his release fast approaching.


His breathing became labored, his body began to tense up. Andy's tongue
flicked across the velvety skin of his scrotum, as his tongue followed his
balls on their way up to his body as his orgasm peaked. With a silent
scream, Andy unloaded his seed into that hot and moist cavity that was
Tommy's eager mouth.


As he was about to look down at Tommy, his eyes opened. He was in his
bedroom laying on his bed. The lights were still on. He felt a bit
uncomfortable then noticed the wetness on the front of his jeans. He stood,
removing his jeans, then his sodden boxer briefs. He'd dreamed it all. But,
Oh! What a dream.


---


Tommy was thinking about what it might be like having a boyfriend. He loved
the thought, but was just too afraid to make it happen. He was too afraid
of what his friends would think. What would his mother say? He knew that
eventually he would have to tell his mother at least, but it was too soon.


Tommy went downstairs and into the kitchen. His mother was there just
finished with cleaning up from their dinner earlier. He went to the
cabinet, taking a glass, then to the refrigerator where he poured himself a
glass of Sunny D. He sat at the table as his mother turned to him.


"You okay, Honey?"


"Yeah Mom, just thinking, that's all."


"Anything you want to talk about?" Tommy's mother asked. Tommy could sense
his mom gently prying at his thoughts. His mind went into lockdown, as he
wasn't ready to talk about this. His fear of rejection was too great and
the fear is real. He can't risk his mom knowing this.


"Nah, I don't think so, Mom. It's something I need to work out on my own;
at least for now, but I love you. I'm going to bed."


"Tommy, you know that if you ever want to talk about anything I'm here for
you, right?"


"Yeah, thanks Mom. See you tomorrow."


"What time are you and Andy going to the mall tomorrow?"


"Around 11. We're going to get something to eat in the food park then go
see that new Zombie movie."


"Ok, do you need a ride or more money?"


"Well, a few bucks never hurts!" He said with a grin.


His mother laughed, ruffling his hair and said, "Ok, go to bed, I'll see
what the treasury has in the morning. I love you, Tommy."


"Love you too, Mom, G'Night."


He went back up the stairs, stopping in the bathroom for a pee. When he'd
finished he looked in the mirror and for a moment imagined Andy standing
behind him, kissing him on the neck. Shaking his head the vision
disappeared and he thought to himself, "Damn, I've got it bad for that
boy!"


He went to his bedroom, stripped down to his boxers and climbed into
bed. He was asleep almost before his head hit the pillow. It was a
peaceful, yet dreamless sleep.






Morning came and Andy woke feeling better than he had in ages. He looked
forward to seeing Tommy that morning. He looked at his clock seeing it was
just after 9:00am. He got up, thankfully noticing he hadn't had yet another
wet dream. He took his time looking through his closet to pick out just the
right clothes. He wanted to look his best for Tommy. After, he went to his
bathroom and took a very long shower, paying attention to his hair and
making sure he was extra clean in the areas normally covered by his
underwear. He let his mind wander as the hot water caressed his body and
relieved his morning hardness.


After dressing and spending a long time making sure his hair was perfect,
he went downstairs finding his father sitting at the table in the kitchen
drinking a cup of coffee. He took down his favorite cereal and reached for
the milk in the refrigerator. Grabbing a bowl and spoon he sat across from
his father.


"Boy, you look spiffy today Andy. Got a hot date?" His father asked with a
chuckle.


"Tommy and I are going to the mall and gonna see that new Zombie movie."


"You've been spending a lot of time with Tommy, anything I should know
about?"


"I wish, Dad. You know, I like him a whole lot, but I don't even know if
he's gay."


"Well, you know what Grandpa Mike would say..."


"Yeah, I do actually, I called him last night."


"You did? Wow, I guess you are serious about Tommy then. Just be careful,
okay?"


"Thanks Dad, I will. Oh, can I get a few bucks for today?"


"The Bank of Dad is always open, you know that. Twenty enough?"


"Yeah. You're the best, Dad. Thanks." Andy said as he finished his
cereal. He then got up, put his dishes in the sink and walked over to his
dad, giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.


"That's one thing I love about having a gay son, you're not too embarrassed
to show your Dad some lovin'."


Andy looked at his father with an odd expression, his eyes widened and
stared.


"Not that kind of lovin' son, you can save that for Tommy!" Causing both of
them to laugh.


Andy heard his phone ring, taking it out of his pocket and looking at the
screen he saw it was Tommy.


"Hey!"


"Hey, it's about 10:00, mom said she would give us a ride, can you be ready
in like 20 minutes?"


"Yeah, that's cool. I'm pretty much ready now."


"Ok, see ya in 20! Bye."


"Ok, Bye."


Andy hung up his phone, telling his father that Tommy's mom was going to
drop them off on her way to work and they'd be there to pick him up in 20
minutes. He then went back to his room and checked himself out again,
making sure he looked perfect.






Tommy woke up feeling a bit nervous. He was having feelings that he was
still a bit confused about even though from what he understood it was
pretty normal. He was thinking about what they'd said on the chat about
whether he should just tell Andy how he felt. At that moment he still
didn't know what to do.


After showering and dressing in his best and coolest looking clothes he
went down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. His mom was making pancakes
which were probably his favorite breakfast. He sat at the table with a
glass of Sunny D about the time his mother had finished making
breakfast. She put a plate in front of him then sat across the table with
her own.


"Looking forward to your day with Andy today?"


"Yeah, I guess."


"You guess? Is something wrong?"


Tommy sat flustered for a moment, unable to eat.


"Okay, you're not eating, and I made pancakes. Something is bothering you,
do you want to talk about it?"


"I don't know, mom, I'm not sure you'd understand."


"Try me, remember, I love you, and no matter what, I will always love you,
even if you told me you were gay."


Tommy looked at his mother totally shocked! "You know?"


"Tommy, mothers always know. Well, I didn't know for sure, but let's say I
suspected."


"I was so scared you'd hate me if you knew."


"I'm hurt. You know I would and could never hate you. You're my son,
nothing in this world is more important to me."


Tommy got up and hugged his mother. "I love you mom, thanks. You just made
my life a whole lot easier."


"So, is Andy gay?


"That's the problem. I lo.. like him a lot, but I don't know if he is or
isn't and if he is if he likes me that way."


Tommy's mom didn't miss the fact that her son almost said he loved
Andy. "Well, if he is, and he does like you that way, he's a lucky
boy. But, when things get more serious, please promise me you'll be safe,
okay?"


Tommy's face blushed beet red, stunned and didn't know how to respond. He
lifted the whole bowl of cereal and wolfed it down, washing it down with a
glass of Sunny D. He didn't really know how to respond to his mom about
that, but the reminder helped. All of the thoughts he'd had about Andy and
something as simple as protection wasn't even remotely on his list in the
heat of the moment - even if it were only dreams.


"Why don't you call Andy and ask if he could be ready in about 20 minutes
and I'll drop you guys off on my way to work. Oh, and here's $20 you asked
for."


Wrapping his arms tightly around her neck, trying to hide the tears welling
in his eyes, Tommy says, "Thanks Mom, Love you."


Tommy then called Andy and it was set to pick him up 20 minutes later.






Fifteen minutes later, Andy was standing at the front window watching for
Tommy's Mom's car to pull up out front. He was both nervous and
excited. This could actually be considered their first date, if they were
out to each other and 'together'. Finally, he saw the car pull up.


"There here Dad, I'm leaving, Love you!" He called to his father.


"Ok, I'm heading to work, I might be late. Have a good time and be
careful!"


Andy grinned, opened the door and walked out to head to the car.


As he approached the car, Tommy got out of the front seat and opened the
back door for Andy.


Andy sat down and was then surprised when Tommy closed the front door and
was starting to get into the back. Andy moved over so Tommy could sit. He
wondered why Tommy would move to the back?


"What's up, Andy?" Tommy said as they bumped fists.


"Looking forward to today. I think the movie is going to be great!"


"Yeah. Me too. But I think being able to just hang out with you is gonna be
fun too!"


Andy was puzzled. Did this mean anything? Was Tommy sending the kind of
signals he hoped he was? Tommy, on the other hand was mentally kicking
himself. How gay did what he said sound? He thought to himself that he
needed to tone it down a little.


"So, I figured we'd check out a few shops at the mall, then get something
to eat. The movie starts at like 3pm, and when it's over, we can get the
bus back home." Tommy suggested.


"Sounds cool. My dad might have to work late, so if he does, and it's okay,
maybe I could hang at your place until he gets home. I hate being in that
new house alone."


Tommy's mother interrupted. "I don't have a problem with it, but I'm not
likely to be home until about Nine. There's frozen pizza you guys could
make if you get hungry. Tommy, make sure Andy's father has my cell
number. Just in case."


"Thanks Mrs. Taylor, I'll make sure to give it to him and I'll leave his
for you."


"Very good, Andy, and call me Becky."


"Ok, Mrs... um.. Becky. Thanks for the ride by the way."


"You're welcome, Andy, I hope you two have a good time."


"We will, Mom. Can you drop us off on the far side from the theater? That
way we will only have to walk one way. The bus stop is right by the
theater." Tommy said, more to shut his mother up before she said something
that would embarrass him than anything else.


"No problem, that's the closest entrance to where I need to go for work
anyway."


Tommy then turned back to Andy. "I've been looking forward to this ever
since we agreed to go." As soon as he said it he thought again how gay he
was sounding. Andy just grinned.


During the ride, Tommy felt Andy's hand on top of his. He had dreamt of
this moment for so long. Andy's hand felt soft and warm. Tommy felt so
nervous, but Andy's touch made him feel so happy. A kind of happiness he
hadn't experienced before, where his heart told him it felt right. He
turned to Andy find Andy was also looking directly into his eyes, head
tilted a bit to gauge Tommy's reaction. They felt this moment
together. Tommy questioned if this feeling of happiness, satisfaction, and
fullness was love, from something as simple as hands touching.


Andy, seeing what he thought to be Tommy's acceptance, started lightly
brushing his thumb on the back of Andy's hand. He could have sworn he heard
a contented sigh from Tommy.


Finally, Becky dropped the boys off at the mall. They walked in and
strolled along looking at various shops. Neither had any plans to buy
anything, but they had fun looking at things. Eventually, they arrived at
the food park.


"So, what do you want to eat, Andy?"


"I dunno, maybe we could share a pizza?"


"I don't mind, but we'll probably have that for dinner. How about we get
one of those two foot subs and share that?"


`That's cool."


The boys got their sub, some chips, and a drink for each and sat at a table
to eat. They talked about whatever came to their mind, just enjoying each
other's company. They hadn't talked about what happened in the car
specifically. Tommy didn't know how to approach the subject, and honestly,
didn't know how to talk about it without potentially saying something wrong
and ruining the whole thing. Eventually, they finished their food and
smiled at each other. Conversation stopped and they looked at each other,
smiling.


All was going well, until Tommy noticed someone approaching their
table. Shock. Blood drained from Tommy's face as the person got closer and
closer. Tommy's face was pale white, scared but expressionless, as he
didn't know what to do. Was this the moment that he feared? Would this
person ruin everything he'd hoped for with Andy?


Standing in front of their table was Curt.


"Not going to introduce me to your friend, Cutie? Curt said to Tommy. Curt
checked out Andy and smiled slyly at the two sitting.


"Um... what are you doing here, Curt? I thought you didn't come to this
mall."


"I was actually looking for you, you stood me up a couple weeks ago. And I
thought you liked me. So who's this stunning boy?"


Andy's expression appeared unamused. "I'm Andy."


Andy ignored Curt offering his hand to shake then Curt turned to Tommy and
asked, "Did you tell him you're gay yet?"


Tommy was mortified. He didn't know what to say. Andy gave him a reassuring
smile and stood up."He hasn't told me he's gay, and I haven't told him I'm
gay either. It's totally uncool to out someone in front of somebody you've
never met. Now leave!"


Curt smiled. "Okay, maybe I'll see you around."


"I hope not!" Andy growled as Curt walked away.


Tommy was in tears. Andy moved to the other side of the table and wrapped
Tommy in his arms. "It's okay, Tommy."


Tommy knew it was over, his mind was circling in the fears he had expected
in his worst predictions. The relationship he was developing with Andy
would be lost, his hands covered his face as he cried, softly.


Through his sobs, Tommy suddenly realized what Andy just said earlier. He
wiped the unattractive snot from his nose and said, "Wait. Andy,
are...are...are you really gay?"


"Yes, I am. I hope you don't hate me now."


Tommy was stunned. Why would he hate Andy? This was the best news ever! He
realized this might be a joyous occasion after all. He gathered himself and
thought a moment before saying in barely more than a whisper, "I am too,
and I think I love you."
