                     "SUMMER OF THE AXEMAN"

                                            1

To say that his thirteenth summer was life altering would be an
understatement at best. It was the year that set forth a chain of events
that would change his lfe forever.

It was the summer that he met Jesse and Reese, and along with his friend
Eddie had one of the wildest romps that a 13 year old boy could dream
of. It was also the year that he was given his nickname because of an
incident that happened and then was blown out of proportion by rumor. Most
importantly it was the year that he met the love of his life.

To Alex, Kevin was perfect in every way, he was beautiful and meek. His
brown hair was shaved on the sides and cut in a chili bowl, the front when
wet hung down into his pale blue eyes which were accentuated by his long
eyelashes, gypsy eyes Alex called them. All of this could be easily
overshadowed by his large, pouty lips that drove Alex crazy with the desire
to taste.

Kevin's body was also an object of Alex's desire. He was slightly shorter
and stockier than Alex's tall, thin build. His complexion dark year round
with only the slightest tan line, his mousy brown pubic hair holding the
musty scent that drove Alex absolutely crazy.

Kevin's good looks were a problem for others who called him a pretty boy,
or a sissy , or even a fag. Often times abusing him either mentally ,
physically, sexually or all the above. This ofcourse would stop when Alex
came along, he had made it a point to protect Kevin, which fulfilled a need
in him.

  Alex was finally coming to terms with the earth shattering news he had
recieved back in the spring concerning his best friend Eddie,who after
running away first from home,disapeared for a short time,only to run again
from the group homes he was placed in. Eddie had finaly settled down abit
as he had found a boy he was fond of,but that boy was placed in foster care
leaving Eddie more lost than ever. He would run away one last time to
Chicago where he would live with a man he had met months before. Alex only
heard from Eddie twice after he moved to Chicago and on the second time
Alex was devastated with the news he had recieved. He had slipped into a
deep depression and was finally coming to terms with things,as much as
could be expected anyway.



Alex was sporting a fresh look as well. His hair that he had been letting
grow for the last 11 months was now cut short, he had cut the front which
had grown to his chin and the back which was down to the center of his
back. Spontaneously he woke up yesterday morning with a plan and after his
parents went to bed, he closely cropped his dark brown hair, then with the
contents from his earlier trip to the store where he bought some hair
color. lightened the tips leaving his short dark hair highlighted blond.

Alex was looking forward to spending much of the summer at the campsite
that was a pivotal part of his young life. It was here that he met Reese
and Jesse and also where he had stabbed a boy in self defense and spent
neerly 4 months in a boys haven. This being the event that led to an
escalation in rumors that got so far out of hand that he was rumoured to
have chopped a boy into pieces with an axe. Therefore he was often called
"the Axeman"



Alex and Kevin had not been able to spend much time together, they had met
in November and Kevin spent Thanksgiving week at Alex's house, this is when
the two boys fell in love, unfortunatley they would not spend much time
together other than a couple of times a day in school and the occasional
meeting at the skate park near Kevin's apartment. At one point Alex made a
surprise visit to Kevin's house. And ofcourse they spent much of the
christmas break together. But after that there were few opportunities other
than the occasional meeting at A-dog's house , a friend of Alex's who was
fond of having young boys around his house.



Alex awoke on the first day of summer vacation excited, although depressed
as he was longing for his Kevin.

Kevin would be over tomorrow, so until then he would have to entertain
himself. He would ofcourse get things ready for the week at the
campsite,they would be leaving tomorrow morning.

Kevin would be going with him,he was so excited. He had told Kevin so much
about the campsite and Kevin was as entheused as he was,although he had
never been camping before.

As Alex packed he began to think of the last summer when he and Eddie had
met two great boys,with whom he had met several more boys. This got him
thinking about Eddie and he grew sad again, He would have to tell Reese and
Jesse about Eddie which was something he dreaded as he simply did not want
to relive the pain. He tried to take his mind off of Eddie and did so by
thinking of Kevin. This made him smile again,as he passed by the mirror he
took a moment to look at himself. He had changed so much over the year,he
had grown taller and now the hair change. Kevin had yet to see it ,would he
like it? He had developed more muscle tone and his once youthful body was
now growing more manly.He would be 15 in the fall, no longer a kid. The
hair under his arms had come in although Kevin's was quite thin. He now had
a full pubic bush above his now 6+ inch dick which had also grown fairly
thick. But it was his facial features that concerned him the most. Although
still quite thin he had developed a small amount of peach fuzz above his
lip. Alex did not like these changes,he wanted to stay boylike,smooth
skinned and hairless, but it was obviouse that wasn't going to happen
unless he shaved himself which was something he had thought about more and
more. He wondered how much Reese and Jesse had changed , did Reese have
pubic hair yet? He remembered the first time Reese ejaculated. He was
surprised and thrilled that he had been there. Did Jesse have a full bush
too? How much had they grown? What if they found girlfriends? He was
certain that Jesse was gay but you never know how people will bend to the
pressures of society.  Alex was growing anxious. Time could not pass
quickly enough.

He had spent most of the day in his room getting things together for the
trip and never had a reason to get dressed,until finally shortly before
dinner Kevin called to confirm what time he needed to be ready tomorrow, so
he pulled on a pair of shorts and wondered down the stairs and talked to
Kevin. He did not have a phone in his room which was a drag. By the time he
got off of the phone with Kevin it was nearly dinner time.After that he
would take a shower and then perhaps turn in early. He was too excited to
sleep but if he went to bed early perhaps the new day would start earlier
and thus he would see his beautiful Kevin, Alex could not wait.

He mused at the looks on his parents faces when they saw his new
apearance. Both staired at him open mouthed and then cought themselves and
tried to act unphased.

After a few moments of uncomfortable silence that Alex secretly reveled in,
his father spoke first.

"you know? I like it"

"well dear our son is quite a handsome young man, I forgot just how
handsome while he was wearing his hair in his face" His mother giggled.

"yeah, mister G.Q, if you ask me" His father added.

"come on you guys, enough. If you don't like it then say so." Alex
responded atlast.

"no. I mean it ,I really like it. Your a damned fine looking young man" His
father assured him.

"you really like it? you don't think I'll catch a bunch of crap for it?"

"well I'd be surprised if Kevin doesn't give you hell for it." His father
poked at him knowing that would bother him "but that's what friends are
for" His father giggled ,and then his mother joined in.

Alex wasn't giggling "I hope Kevin likes it. I mean he's my best friend"
Alex added trying unsucessfuly to sound unphased.

"well if he doesn't like it, you could always find a new friend" His mother
said joining in on the fun " I mean he would just be jealouse. He is
nowhere near as handsome as you are" She said knowing how fond Alex was of
Kevin.

Alex nearly jumped out of his skin at that one. "naw he wouldn't be
jealouse" Was all he could say when in reality he wanted to say that Kevin
was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He wanted to stand up and
say it now, hell he wanted to shout it from a mountain top, but instead he
remained quiet for a moment.

Alex continued to pick at his food, while he worried what Kevin would think
of his hair. Atleast he knew Kevin liked his hair long. What if he hates
it??

Suddenly he dreaded tomorrow. As much as he wanted to see Kevin, he was
afraid Kevin would hate his new look. He might not say anything ,but he
would show it in his actions. He would give subtle hints, like being abit
more distant he suspected,or perhaps not looking him in the eye. Kevin
rarely looked anyone in the eyes and Alex was one of the few.

He was a nervous wreck by the time dinner was over.

"well can't we just pick Kevin up tonight? that away we can go to the
campground from here" Alex whined a little.

"well if I'm not mistaking Kevin still has some things to do before he can
go, Isn't that what you told me?" His mother responded.

"yeah" He said sullenly. He really just wanted to get Kevin's reaction out
of the way, And if he hated his hair perhaps he would just shave it
off. "what if I call and ask him to come over tonight? If his mom says it's
alright can he?"

"Alex whats the big deal son? I mean we already have it worked out, why
change the plans now?" His father chimed in.

"I just worry what he will say about my hair is all" Alex mumbled to
himself as he got up to clear his place.

Alex's mother had been so worried about her son for the last year now, and
now the news about Eddie was too much she worried. It seemed that this once
very confident young man had become more self consciouse and insecure than
she had ever seen him. Alex seemed to almost rely on Kevin to give him
strength. When the two boys were together it was Alex who was the loud one,
Kevin rarely said two words, sometimes they would banter back and forth amd
there was the night the two boys fell asleep on the floor together while
watching movies. His father and she had had a long discussion about that
and she wondered if perhaps her son was gay. His father told her that he
thought he probably was not but if he was then so what? He was confident
that if Alex needed to talk that he had developed a relationship solid
enough that his son would come to him.

Both adults were concerned for their son but His father was abit more
relaxed and liberal about things. Alex: he told her had always been a smart
and confident boy. He knew that Alex was just trying to work things out for
himself as he had always done. He found himself giving into his son's whims
more frequently as he felt that he didnt want to cause anymore pain for the
boy. Quite simply Alex had been through enough and always seemed to
percevere.

He remembered in the spring when it seemed that Alex would be alone on the
camping trip. His friend Eddie was unable to go and Kevin's mother just had
way too much for her son to do around the house to let him go. He watched
his son turn deep into himself before deciding it was something he had to
do. He made himself available to his son and felt they had a nice talk as
he helped Alex build his tent. As it turned out Alex met up with a bunch of
friends and he did not want to leave when it was time to go. Things just
seemed to work for his son and he thanked god every night for watching over
his son.  Unfortunately Alex thought that it was the end of the world when
things did not go according to plan. This was something that he had
developed recently. In the past Alex would just let these things slide off
of his back and would find a way to make them work, now he had to go
through a long depression or a fit before he would regain that old
determination. He would accept the defeat before he would eventually simply
make things happen.

"I'll tell ya what if he can come over tonight then I wil pick him up, I
need to go to the store anyway. Although I was planning on waiting until
morning" His wife shot him a look of surprise but he dismissed it.

Alex turned and smiled at his father. That smile was worth any
inconvenience. He loved his son and he loved seeing him happy. It just
ripped at him to see his youngest son go through so much pain. None of the
other kids seemed to go through this. Ofcourse he blamed that on himself as
Alex had come along so much later than his other siblings. His parents
often wondered if they were just too old and tired to raise this boy , the
other kids were always pointing out how Alex seemed to get away with things
that they would never have gotten away with. But Alex had turned out just
fine and he was a wonderful boy, he just seemed to be having a run of bad
luck. He knew it would be alright.

Alex ran into the other room and grabbed the phone.



He came back into the kitchen with a look of disappointment on his
face. "he hasn't even started to pack yet" He sat down hard and started to
rearange the place mat infront of him.

"well I know I am encouraging this lame brained scheme way too much, but
perhaps if I were to drop you off while I go to the store, then I could
pick the both of you up when I am done. You could help him pack and do
whatever else he has to do, and then that will get him ready faster and the
voila' " he smiled at the boy noticing yet another disapproving look from
his wife who was trying not to play bad cop to his good cop role.

Alex jumped up and nearly flipped the table as he ran back to the phone."

"hey Kevin?"

"Yeah?"

"dad said he will drop me off and I can help you get ready and then he will
pick me up on the way from the store. What do you think?"

"Umm I guess thats cool "

"well if you don't want me to.. we can wait til tomorrow then"

" well its just that mom is here and I'm helping here clean and stuff and
we're kinda like talkin' and stuff" Alex heard a voice in the background
that he knew to be Betty, Kevin's mom. "yeah but I thought you wanted to
talk and stuff?" He heard Kevin say to his mother. "your not even going to
stay home tonight?" He asked her. He obviously did not like her
response. "Fine" He said to her "when will you be over" He said abit too
sharp.

"Umm give me 30 minutes. You sure your alright with this?"

"just come on if your coming" Kevin said and there was a moments silence.

"Hey Kevin?" Alex said softly " I hope you get in a better mood, I really
am looking forward to seeing you"

There was another pause "I want to see you too" Kevin said softly " I'm
sorry I was a dick" Obviously Betty had left the room as Kevin would never
have talked like that infront of her.

"see you in thirty" Alex smiled again and hung up the phone. He ran to his
room and grabbed his shoes and then ran to the kitchen.

"you ready?" He said sitting down and putting his shoes on.

"Umm yeah I guess just let me put my shoes on" Alex sat impatiently waiting
as his father got up and grabbed his shoes and then came back to the
kitchen to sit down and put them on. It seemed like an hour before he got
his shoes on, the whole time his mother was shaking her head with a slight
grin and looking at his father.

"man I sure hope he likes that hair" He mother said starting up again.

"Aww mom don't start again" Alex said nervously.

She got up and hugged her son "I bet he's gonna love it" she raised back up
and softly rubbed his hair "He may even want to do his like that" Then she
walked to the sink and began running the dish water.



When they arrived at Kevin's building Alex jumped out of the car as his
father yelled behind him that he would be back in an hour.

He walked up the stairs on stiff legs as he was so nervouse. By the time he
reached Kevin's apartment he could hardly move. He rang the bell and
Kevin's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. "HOLY SHIT!" he exclaimed as
Alex stood there nervously.

"Kevin... You watch your mouth " Betty called from the bathroom.

"Sorry mom, but you have to see this" Kevin pulled Alex into the apartment
and his body continued to me moved on feet of lead.

"oh my" Kevin's mom said when she saw him "didn't you have long hair or was
that someone else" she responded not sure if she had actually met this boy
or not.

Kevin pulled Alex back toward the kitchen "Its the same guy mom" Kevin said
aggrevated.

"well your alot cuter now, infact call me in about 4 years" she said with a
chuckle .

Kevin knew she was joking but he still shot her a dirty look as he felt it
was a tasteless joke.

When they reached the kitchen Alex couldn't look Kevin in the eye, he was
so nervouse about what the next words out of this boys mouth would be.

"wow" He said and then started to chuckle. "wow" He said again.

"You hate it" Alex mumbled looking at Kevin briefly.

"Hate it? are you fuckin crazy?"He giggled a little bit "Your fuckin hot,
now kiss me you fool "

Kevin pulled Alex to him and they exchanged a brief kiss.

"My mom is getting ready to go out"

"My dad will be back in about an hour and you know how punctual he is"

"well we better hurry up and get things together then."

"where do we start?" Alex said with renewed confidence.

"Dishes and housework, then we can start packing my things"

"you wash I'll rinse" Alex said with a smile.

The boys were done with the house work just as Betty was leaving. She gave
Kevin a big hug and told him to be careful and asked when he would be back.

He didn't know why he did it but something told Alex to lie. "well if it's
alright with you we may stay 2 weeks. Unless thats a problem or anything"

"well I would like him home next weekend, there's just so much to do around
here and I have so little time. But I would hate for your folks to
rearrange your plans just because I can't find time to do my own
housework. Just be careful baby" She said kissing Kevin ontop of the head
although he was nearly as tall as her. "by the way Alex . I love the hair"
she tipped him a wink as she closed the door.

The two boys exchanged glances and than Alex pushed Kevin against the door
and Kissed him deeply, inserting his tongue. After a few minutes of this
Kevin broke the kiss.

"we need to get packed. By the way, why did you tell her two weeks?"

"well I know how hard it is to leave you and I just thought that perhaps we
could stay a couple extra nights together at my house whenwe get back. I
hope you aint mad."

"naw, it's cool" Kevin said handing Alex a kroger bag and then he started
stuffing clothes into it. "should I bring blankets or any bedding?"

"naw mom and dad got that covered" Alex said pulling out a pair of Kevin's
bikini briefs. They were black with white vertical stripes running down the
front. Alex loved this pair. "infact I think that this is all you should
bring" He said smiling.

"uhh yeah, what would your mom and dad say ?"

"fuckem' I'll tell em to get take their eyes off of my boyfriend before I
start bitch slappin'"

"umm yeah , thats gonna work" Kevin said with a snort.

"well I have tons of clothes, I always over pack. And if you don't have a
swim trunks then you can borrow one of mine"

Kevin stopped packing clothes and only stood still looking at the shirt he
was holding.

"Umm maybe I should stay here " Kevin whispered

"what!? what do you mean stay here? what did I say wrong?"

"Alex I never been camping before, Hell I never hardly been out of the
city. I don't think I will do well sleeping amongst the bugs and the wild
animals. I don't know if I want to do this or not"

Alex looked at him for a minute and then gave him a gentle hug "thats not
really it is it?"He said pulling back and looking at Kevin. He didn't know
what it was and his over active imagination went so far as to say that
Kevin was going to tell him he was not only straight but that he had a
girlfriend that he would rather be with, or if not that . Atleast that he
had found someone else. Or perhaps that he simply did not want to be with
him and his stupid hair.

There was a long pause and then Kevin broke the silence.

"everywhere I have lived we never had any pools, and the public pools were
just another place to get my ass kicked so I stayed away from them" Kevin
started talking slowly and softly " Alex I am terrified of water because I
can't swim" He glanced up for a moment waiting to see Alex laughing.

"so I will teach you how to swim" Alex said confidently.

"I mean I'm not afraid of water like in the bathtub or the shower, water in
my face doesnt bother me. But the idea of getting in water and sinking like
a ton of bricks... I mean I have had dreams about it and I watch movies
where people drown and it freaks me out. I'm just scared. I know that makes
me a pussy and all but I am sorry Alex I can't do this" He was trembling
now

"hey Kevin." Alex said lifting the boys chin and looking into those
beautiful gypsy eyes with

the tears in those long eyelashes and he was swept away yet again " I
promise I wont let anything happen to you. We can go to the pool and you
can stay in the shallow end. Besides there is a hell of alot more to do
there besides swim. Please don't let this stop you.Please don't tell me
your not going" He said kissing him gently on the lips and getting upset
himself.

"but we're gonna meet up with your friends and their gonna think I'm some
kind of pussy for staying in the shallow end. I would just rather not go
through all that"

"if anyone fucks with you they will have me to answer to, isn't that the
way it is around here?"

"Yeah " Kevin said softly " You really want me to go that bad?"

"hell yeah, don't you want to go? I mean yeah , please go. I mean if you
don't go then I don't want to go. I mean don't make me beg you
Kevin. Please go"Alex was losing his cool , he had tears in his eyes "I
NEED you to go"

Kevin looked down at his hands and then at Alex

"Its just... Just that that water thing has me a little worried is all"

"It's going to be just fine, trust me" Alex said kissing him again.

Kevin started packing again but with less enthusiasm than before. He had a
pit in his stomache, just a feeling that he was making a big mistake and
that something bad was going to happen, and that it would happen to him.

Kevin was snapped out of his daze as a horn was honking infront of the
building.

"shit. Thats your dad I better hurry"

I'll go tell him your on your way down while you lock everything up. If he
keeps on that horn he likely to get jacked"

Kevin looked at him uncomfortably but he knew it was actually
true. "alright. I'll be right down"



As Alex ran down the stairs he passed a black kid of about 15. The boy
scowled at him and said "what the fuck you lookin' at white boy?" Normally
Alex would have responded to that but he was in a hurry and besides he was
so happy nothing could fuck up his mood. Just as he reached the first floor
he could hear Kevin slam and lock the door, before he walked out of the
building he heard "Where the fuck you think you goin with all those clothes
bitch?"

Alex paused for a minute, he waved at his dad so he knew he was there, but
he stood in the doorway. He heard no response to the boy's comments. Alex
decided that if Kevin was not right down that he would go up and plant that
fucker without asking any questions.

When Kevin did come down he looked at him and said "nice fuckin neighbors
you got"

Kevin said nothing.

"so who was that?"

"just some asshole that thinks he runs the place just because he does a
little ballin'"

"I ever hear him talk shit to you again I'll plant the little fucker"

"let it go Alex. It's alright, it's nothing"

The two boys got into the car and headed for the house. As far as Alex was
concerned his summer had officially began as of now.

And this was gonna be the greatest summer it all. This was going to be "the
summer of the Axeman"....

  well hey everybody.
 for those of you who are unfamiliar with these characters:
 I have written two other titles that chronicle the adventures
 of Alex and his friends, but do not fear. I intend to write this piece as
 a stand alone and rather than encourage you to read my other titles
 I encourage you to simply e_mail me with any questions you may have
most of them will be answered as the story progresses.
 I just love these characters and they are such a part of me
and several of my readers are equally fond therefore it only made
sense to expand upon them.
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it.


thank you
