The Keys to the Kingdom
Chapter 12: Before and After the Game

Ethan woke up before Aiden Friday morning and lay there, watching him
sleep.  I can't get over how much he looks like me, Ethan thought to
himself, god he's cute.  Ethan was worried that his new found feelings for
Aiden might be the result of the pity he felt for him after all that he'd
been through but laying there, staring at his face, he knew that wasn't the
case.  Aiden was a kindred spirit, a scholar and an artist and Ethan
thought he was beautiful.  Ethan's heart had opened to Aiden in sympathy;
it stayed open because it found a part that felt like it had been missing
from itself.

Ethan pulled back the sheet that was covering the two of them and took in
Aiden's body.  Both boys were only in their underwear and Ethan marveled at
the changes in Aiden.  He reached out and softly stroked the skin that just
days ago had been purple with bruises but was now soft and supple.  He
traced his fingers up along Aiden's sternum, along his graceful neck and
then caressed his cheek.  The black eyes were gone from the beautiful
porcelain face and as Ethan looked at him he couldn't help but think he
knew what Prince Charming must have felt like when he first saw Sleeping
Beauty.

Ethan wasn't sure how long he gazed at Aiden and didn't come out of his
revere until he felt Aiden wrap his fingers around the hand resting on his
cheek.

"Enjoying yourself?" Aiden asked with a yawn, as his sparkling green eyes
opened and focused on Ethan's eyes of sea blue.

Ethan wanted to be embarrassed for being caught checking Aiden out in such
an intimate manner but Aiden's smile wouldn't allow it, and it's not like
Aiden had pushed his hand away from his cheek, it was still resting there.
Aiden squeezed Ethan's hand then ran his fingers up his arm and over to his
face where he stroked Ethan's cheek in return.

"I take it you don't mind?" smiled Ethan.

"Not at all, I like it when you touch me," Aiden blushed.

Being so much alike, the boys were thinking similar thoughts.  They both
understood that they were on the path to more than friendship and wanted to
take it slowly but each had his own reasons for that.  Ethan knew all about
the sexual abuse Aiden had endured and intelligent as he is, he understood
he had to earn Aiden's trust, prove to him that he loved his heart not just
his body.  Aiden still harbored feelings of guilt about his predicament and
questioned why Ethan would ever want to be with him, especially now that he
was sick.  He viewed Ethan as clean and pure, everything he wanted but
wasn't sure he deserved.  It would have been so easy for them to progress
from gentle touching to something more erotic, they were after all,
snuggling in their underwear but both boys withdrew.

"I'm hungry," said Aiden.

"Yeah, let's get some breakfast," Ethan agreed.

As had become their routine, Ethan helped Aiden get dressed.  The cast on
Aiden's arm was still a pain in the butt and though neither of them would
say it, dressing and undressing had become their favorite part of the day.
When he was done, Ethan smoothed out the wrinkles in Aiden's shirt and
patted him on the chest.

"Perfect," smiled Ethan.

Since the visible signs of Aiden's abuse have disappeared it's become more
obvious how much he and Ethan look alike.  The two of them are absolutely
adorable together and I smiled when they came into the kitchen, chatting
happily.  I don't know if they'd done it on purpose or if it was just a
coincidence but they were each wearing khaki shorts and a polo shirt, Aiden
in green and Ethan in blue, which brought out their eyes.  You'd never know
all the things they'd been through in their young lives; to look at them
was to see two blissfully preppy, Connecticut teenagers.

When the boys saw me, they both kind of chuckled.  Despite being a
professor at a major university, I rarely wore a suit and tie but this
morning I had on my best for my meeting with the outgoing headmaster.  Cam
dressed like this for work every day but the boys were used to seeing me in
chinos and a button-down.

"Well, what do you think?" I asked, gesturing to my coat and tie.

"Dorky," smiled Ethan.

"Very dorky," added Aiden.

"Awww, I think he looks cute," said Cam, as he handed me a cup of coffee
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Eww, parental affection," said Ethan, as the boys giggled at us.

They certainly seem perky this morning.

"That's ok boys, if you think I look dorky, just wait until you see your
school uniforms," I smiled.

That took the smirks right off their faces.  Cam winked at me, parents 1,
kids nothing.

While Ethan got a couple of bowls out of the cupboard and hunted for his
favorite cereal, Aiden reported to Cam who had his morning medication
ready.  Aiden took the medicine with little complaint other than a grimace
at the nasty taste.  Cam gave him a little hug and a kiss on the top of his
head then sent him over to the table.  Ethan gave him a pat on the back and
they tucked into their frosted flakes.

Cam and I had talked last night about Aiden's first appointment with
Dr. Marshal and based on her advice we were being very liberal with the
affection.  It may be good therapy for Aiden but really we just liked doing
it, we love our boys more than anything and eventually they're going to
tell us they're to old for hugs and kisses from dad and daddy so we want to
get as much out of it as we can.  Ethan's always been affectionate and
sensitive, I thought it was sweet how he patted Aiden's back after he'd
taken his medicine.

We didn't have time to chat with the boys this morning, Cam had to get to
the hospital and I had to drive out to the academy.  Jack wasn't up yet and
Nicky was still over at Josh's.  The 12 year olds had a little league game
later today, Josh's mom would take them and we'd meet them there.  Cam and
I both kissed the twins goodbye and headed off to the grown up world of
work, while the boys snuggled up on the couch to read.

Awhile later, Jack came down to grab some breakfast and playfully slapped
his cousins on the back of the head as he passed them on the couch.  He
thought they were sitting awfully close together but chalked that up to
more of their twin behavior.  Jack expected they'd be finishing each
other's sentences soon and that made him smile.  Jack was happy for both
boy's, he knew Ethan loved Nicky but he thought it was nice that now he had
a brother who shared so many of his own interests.  As for Aiden, Jack was
glad that after everything he'd been through, he now had a loving home and
had found a brother that he could have been separated at birth from for as
much as they had in common.

After he ate, Jack watched TV in the living room while the boys read then
announced he was going for a walk.  The boys put their books down and moved
on to a new activity, video games.  The house was all packed up except for
the bare essentials we'd need to get through today and in the case of the
kids, bare essentials included the PS3.  Ethan and Aiden were blissfully
slaughtering each other at Modern Warfare when Nicky came home unexpectedly
in his baseball uniform.

"Hey Nicky," greeted Aiden.

"What are you doing home squirt?" said Ethan, "I thought Josh's mom was
taking you guys to the game?"

"She is," smiled Nicky, "but we don't have to leave for an hour and I
forgot my glove."

Nicky went upstairs to look for his glove and a few seconds later he called
downstairs for Ethan.

"Hey Ethan, can you come here for a minute?" Nicky shouted.

"What is it?" Ethan shouted back, after Nicky's request had blown a
perfectly aimed sniper shot at Aiden's character.

"I think my glove got packed in one of the boxes, can you help me look for
it?" said Nicky.

Ethan rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I'll be right there."

"Need me to help?" asked Aiden.

"Nah, I'll take care of it, you keep playing, you're a horrible shot,"
Ethan teased.

When Ethan went into Nicky's room he was a little surprised to find him
with his pants off.  Nicky was wearing his navy blue jersey, a white
jockstrap and his navy blue baseball socks, pulled up to his knees.  His
ever present impish grin plastered on his face.

"I take it you didn't come home for your glove?" Ethan smirked.

"Hehehe, nope," giggled Nicky.

"What did you have in mind?" asked Ethan as he took off his shorts and polo
shirt.

"I wanna get fucked again," smiled Nicky.

"How can I resist an offer like that?" Ethan smiled as he reached over and
snapped Nicky's jock against his butt.

Nicky dropped to his knees and pulled Ethan's underwear down.  He grabbed
Ethan's 5 inch boner and tugged it for a few seconds then put it in his
mouth.  He smiled up at Ethan as he sucked his cock greedily.  Ethan was so
glad that Nicky had enjoyed being fucked and couldn't wait to do him again,
especially when he looked down and saw how cute Nicky's perky little ass
looked in that jock strap.

Ethan grabbed a hand full of Nicky's short blond hair and fucked his mouth
for a moment then told him to bend over the bed.  Nicky happily complied
and shuddered with pleasure when he felt Ethan's tongue on his hole.  Ethan
lapped at the tight little pucker and reached around to feel Nicky's cock
getting hard in the pouch of his jock.  The jockstrap really turned Ethan
on, he loved how it framed Nicky's bubbly little butt.  Once he was ready,
Ethan got behind Nicky and started to rub the head of his cock against the
younger boy's hole.

"Wait a sec, let me get this thing off," said Nicky as he reached to pull
down his jock.

"No, leave it on," said Ethan in a lusty voice.

Nicky started to protest but forgot all about it as he felt Ethan's cock
pop into him.  He was still tight like a vice but this time Ethan's cock
didn't hurt as much and Nicky was able to relax and take him in.  Ethan was
in heaven as he slipped into his little brothers tight velvety insides.
When he felt his pubes brushing against Nicky's smooth butt, Ethan pulled
back and pushed in, he moved slowly at first and when Nicky moaned, Ethan
began to fuck him in earnest.

Nicky didn't understand why he enjoyed this so much, all he knew was that
being fucked felt good and he pressed back against Ethan trying to get his
cock as deep inside as he could.  Ethan was so turned on by fucking the
little baseball jock that he pounded into the younger boy with abandon.
Nicky was moaning and panting, Ethan didn't want Aiden to hear what was
going on so he looked around for a second then picked up his underwear and
stuffed them in Nicky's mouth.

Nicky turned his head and gave Ethan a `hey, what the heck,' expression.

"Sorry squirt," smiled Ethan as he patted Nicky on the back, "just don't
want anyone to hear us."

Nicky didn't care too much; he could taste a hint of Ethan's precum on his
boxer briefs and enjoyed sucking on them while Ethan pummeled his ass.

Ethan's fucking grew more intense and so did Nicky's moans as Ethan's cock
found his prostate.  Nicky didn't last long with Ethan's stiffy rubbing
against the organ and he squirted his watery boy juice into the pouch of
his jockstrap.  When he came, Nicky inadvertently clenched his butt cheeks,
causing Ethan to fire his load into his ass.  The boys collapsed on the bed
while Ethan waited for his cock to soften and slide out of Nicky.

"So that's why Uncle Brenden warned us about sex with Aiden?" giggled Jack.

Jack had come home from his walk and was headed for the shower when he had
heard muffled moans coming from Nicky's room.  When he opened the door he'd
been surprised to find Nicky, half naked with Ethan's cock stuffed up his
ass and his underwear stuffed in his mouth.  "You won't say anything will,
you?" asked Nicky, after he spit Ethan's underpants out onto the bed.

"Nah, that would be pretty chicken shit of me," said Jack, "I assume this
is something both of you wanted to do though, no one forced anyone to do
anything did they?"

"Of course not," said Ethan, somewhat offended, "I'd never hurt Nicky."

"I don't know, that looked pretty painful to me," Jack chuckled as Ethan's
whole body blushed.

"Not even, I like it," smiled Nicky.

"Does Aiden know about this?" Jack asked.

"Nah, he thinks Ethan's helping me find my baseball glove, we didn't want
him to feel left out," laughed Nicky.

Jack closed the door and chuckled to himself as he headed to the shower.

"Do you think he'll say anything?" Ethan asked Nicky.

"Nope," said Nicky confidently.

"You seem awfully sure of that," said Ethan.

"You worry too much Ethan, he had a boner," Nicky giggled.

Ethan and Nicky cleaned up and got dressed, Nicky would have to play his
game with a wet jockstrap and Ethan had to put on wet boxer-briefs, damp
from Nicky sucking on them.  Once they were dressed they headed downstairs.

"Thanks for helping me find my glove," said Nicky as he hugged Ethan then
headed for the door, "Bye Aiden, see you later."

"Bye Nicky, good luck at your game," smiled Aiden.

"He's so cute," said Aiden, once Nicky had shut the door and Ethan had sat
back down.

"Yeah, he's great, I love having him as my little brother," said Ethan as
he tried to adjust his crotch without being noticed.

"I'm getting used to it too," said Aiden, "It's nice being part of a real
family."

Ethan gave Aiden a pat on the back; picked up his game controller and then
did his best to kill him again.

Jack is straight, there's no doubt about that but he's also got the unique
ability to enjoy sex simply for the feelings it gives him.  He'd jerked off
with friends before, even experimented with blow jobs but he'd never done
anything like he'd caught his little cousins doing.  The thought made him
smile while he took his shower.  Jack was secure enough in his manhood to
think his cousins were really cute and he could see why they liked playing
with each other.  He'd always suspected that Ethan might be gay but was
surprised that Nicky seemed so into it.  None of it bothered Jack, he
didn't care what people did in their bedrooms but he did now take my
warning about sexual contact with Aiden more seriously.

Jack has a big heart, he loves Ethan and Nicky and even though Aiden is new
to the family, he loves him too.  It didn't matter that our kids were
adopted, they were his cousins and he'd do anything for them.  He'd felt
like a jerk when he'd asked if it was safe to be around Aiden when we'd
told the boy's about his HIV and hoped it hadn't hurt his feelings. Jack
was aware of how the twins looked at each other and after what he'd just
observed between Ethan and Nicky, he hoped they'd be careful, he wasn't
eager to lose any of his little cousins to some stupid disease.

While the boys were having their fun at home, I was at the academy learning
that it's good to be the king; they laid out the royal treatment for me.
Before I met with the outgoing headmaster I was introduced to my executive
assistant who went over my schedule for the next couple of months, there
were a few travel arrangements she needed to make me aware of.  After that
I was led into what would be my office as of tomorrow, to meet the outgoing
headmaster.

The room had a terrific view of the academy's main quad, the walls were
covered in rich mahogany paneling, there was a large fireplace, comfortable
leather chairs and a matching couch, a desk the size of an aircraft carrier
and a small conference table for meeting with my immediate staff.  Doctor
Christopher Charlton, the current headmaster, greeted me warmly and had tea
brought in, then talked to me at length about what this job and this school
had meant to him during his twenty year tenure.

After so many years of service I was curious as to what this venerable
educator must think of me and my youth and inexperience.  Dr. Charlton was
a charming host, he regaled me with stories of the academy's past and set
my mind at ease by explaining that he'd been instrumental in my securing
this position.  It was his belief that a classical education was just as
important today as it had been in the past and that my background as an
historian would help me preserve the traditions of this institution, while
my youth would give me the strength to deal with the demands placed on this
office.  To be thought of so highly by someone so respected was a real
boost to my ego and I was thankful for his confidence in my abilities.

Once we had finished our tea, Dr. Charlton introduced me to my immediate
staff.  In addition to my executive assistant I'd also have a deputy
headmaster, dean of boys, dean of girls, athletic director, communications
director, facilities director and a director of alumni relations.  There
were still others that served the executive office of the headmaster but
these were the people I'd be dealing with on a daily basis.  Dr. Charlton
seemed to notice that I was a little overwhelmed by all of this and asked
if he could give me a tour of the campus.

He knew everything about every building, plaque, monument and tree.  He was
a wealth of knowledge and I couldn't believe that I had been selected to
fill this man's shoes.  We ended our tour at the headmaster's house.  The
last time I'd seen a place this opulent was when Cam and I had spent a
weekend at an estate on the Irish Coast.  This place was amazing and all I
could think about was how my kids would adjust to living in this
mini-palace.  Please boys, don't break anything, I thought to myself.

"I understand you and your partner have children?" said Dr. Charlton.

"Yes sir, 3 boys, Ethan, Aiden, and Nicky, and my nephew Jack is staying
with us while my brother is on assignment in Germany with the Air Force," I
confirmed.

"Wonderful, I am so happy that this old house is going to have a young
family to enjoy it," smiled Dr. Charlton, "and don't worry, everything is
insured."

"Yes, I am a little concerned about that," I admitted, "our children are
very well behaved but..."

"But boys will be boys," said Dr. Charlton, "I have 2 grandsons that have
visited us here often and the place is still standing."

I continued to take in the surroundings while we chatted and then
Dr. Charlton lead me out into the garden for a small meet and greet
reception with the faculty.  I tried to remember everyone's names but that
will definitely take time. Everyone was eager to meet me, I think some of
them were a little taken aback by my age but overall, the faculty made me
feel quite welcome.  As I got into the Defender to head over to Nicky's
game, I couldn't help but think this had definitely been the right decision
for our family.

"How did it go?" Cam asked when I sat next to him on the bleachers.

"Excellent," I smiled, "how's our kid doing?"

"Nicky's at second, Josh is at first with 2 outs," said Cam.

As I was about to ask my next question, Nicky's team mate at bat nailed the
ball, sending it deep into the outfield and both Nicky and Josh scored.
The rest of the game wasn't near as exciting but our boys won 4 to 2.
There were clouds rolling in and it looked like another thunderstorm was
heading our way but the game ended before it hit.

We stayed and talked to Josh's parents for a few minutes, they'd become
good friends over the last two years and we'll be sad they aren't across
the street anymore once we move.  Nicky and Josh were quieter than usual, I
hope they won't be too sad when all this is said and done.  When it was
time to go, the boys stared at each other for a moment and then Josh
grabbed Nicky in a big hug, I wish we'd had the camera with us; it was
really a cute moment.

We picked up pizza on our way home and we ate dinner off of paper plates,
our dishes being all packed up.  Most of our furniture would be staying
here as we'd rented the house out furnished but there were still boxes
everywhere.

The thunderstorm hit hard at around midnight and woke Nicky from a light
sleep.  He never slept well during these storms and since Ethan was
sleeping with Aiden, he padded across the hall into Jack's room.  Jack was
in bed but he had the lamp on the nightstand on so he could read.  After
what he'd witnessed earlier in the day, he enjoyed checking Nicky out in
his white Hanes briefs when he came in.

"What's up slugger?" said Jack.

"It's this stupid thunder, I can't sleep, can I get in bed with you?" he
asked.

"Yeah climb in," said Jack as he pulled back the covers.

Nicky got a good look at Jack in his tight fitting boxer-briefs when he got
into bed and liked what he saw.  Jack turned out the light and spooned in
behind Nicky.  Nicky began to absentmindedly rub his little butt against
Jack's package.  It didn't take Jack long to stiffen up.

Jack felt his cock go hard in his underwear, he couldn't help it, Nicky's
rubbing felt so good.  When he felt Jack's boner poking at his bottom Nicky
began to wiggle even more to turn on the older boy.  Jack couldn't resist,
he reached around and cupped his hand over Nicky's package and began to
feel up the 12 year old.

Nicky rolled over to face Jack and their hard cocks brushed against each
other.  Nicky reached down and squeezed Jacks cock through his undies while
Jack's hands moved around and started to rub Nick's butt.

"So are you gay little man?" asked Jack.

"No, I like girls but I like doing stuff with Ethan too, it feels good,"
Nicky explained.

"Is Ethan gay?" Jack inquired.

"You should ask Ethan that," said Nicky.

"Are you gay?" asked Nicky.

"No I like girls too, but like you guys, I've done some stuff with other
boy's," said Jack.

"Cool," Nicky replied as he continued to rub Jack's hardon.

"Man Nicky, that feels so good," said Jack.

"You can fuck me if you want," said Nicky.

Jack had never really given any thought to fucking another boy before but
the way Nicky was manipulating his throbbing cock he was seriously
entertaining the idea.  He continued to grope Nicky's hot little ass while
he thought about his offer and that made the decision for him.

"That's cool buddy but I can't," Jack explained, "I think I'm a little too
big for you."

Nicky didn't argue, Jack felt like at least 8 inches and it was thick too.

"I know what to do," Nicky smirked as he disappeared under the covers.

Jack felt Nicky wiggling around under the blankets and then he felt
something warm and wet on the head of his cock.  He reached over and turned
the lamp back on then pulled the covers aside and found Nicky nibbling and
licking at the head of his cock through his boxer-briefs.

"You could have left the light off if you wanted to," said Nicky, "I don't
need to see what I'm doing."

"I, I wanted to watch," said Jack apprehensively as he pulled his cock out
of his underwear.

"Wow, it is big," Nicky exclaimed.

"Thanks buddy," giggled Jack.

Nicky wasted no time; he licked the big cock all over, running his tongue
up and down the shaft and around the head.

Jack was moaning in delight, he had no idea Nicky would be so good at
giving head.  He spread his legs wide, put his hands behind his head and
watched the spritely 12 year old work his cock like a professional.

Nicky sucked on the head and tickled the cum hole with his tongue, he knew
Ethan liked that and from the low grunts and moans Jack was emitting it
seemed as if he liked it as well.  Nicky tried to take as much of Jack in
his mouth as he could but the older boy's cock really was too big for him.
Instead he swallowed what he could then wrapped his hand round the
remainder of the shaft and stroked in time with his sucking.  This drove
Jack wild and he started to precum like crazy.  The older teen produced a
lot more of the natural lubricant then Ethan did and Nicky sucked up every
last drop.

Jack felt a craving for Nicky's cock; he hadn't sucked another boy's dick
since he'd played around with some friends when he was Nicky's age.  He
moved Nicky into a 69 position, pulled down his briefs and hungrily sucked
the little 4 inch boner into his mouth.  Jack wasn't as good as Ethan but
Nicky didn't complain he simply continued using his mouth on Jack while
Jack swallowed his bone.

The boy's fucked each other's mouths for a while and Jack discovered
something that Ethan knew all too well, Nicky had a really hot ass.  Jack
rubbed the firm athletic globes while he sucked the younger boy's cock, he
even spanked him a little.  The only thing that kept him from burying his
cock in the little boys ass was his size, he was too big for Nicky and he
wasn't about to use his boner as a weapon on someone he cared about.
Instead the boys sucked harder, Jack taking all of Nicky into his mouth and
Nicky drooling on Jacks pole as he bobbed up and down.  When Jack shot his
cum he filled Nicky's mouth but there was so much it dribbled down his
shaft.  Nicky fired into Jack's mouth and though he thought he wouldn't
like it he greedily drank the younger boy's load.

When Jack stopped sucking on him, Nicky moved down between his legs and
gave his cock an expert cleaning.

"Dude, that was so great," panted Jack.

"I'm glad you had fun," said Nicky, "you're cock is really big."

"Thanks," Jack chuckled.

"Do you think maybe you might wanna fuck me sometime?" Nicky asked
hopefully.

"Maybe," Jack laughed, "you really like that?"

"Yeah, me and Ethan have only done it a couple times but it feels really
good and I can't wait to do it again," said Nicky.

The boys pulled up their underwear and settled in to sleep.  A lot of
thoughts were going through Jack's mind.  He knew he was straight but
playing around with a boy again sure was fun.  Maybe he didn't need his
girlfriend around after all, he had two cute cousins who like dick and he
was sure Ethan wouldn't mind screwing around with him too.  Jack reached
over and fondled Nicky in his sleep while he thought.  He eventually
drifted off to sleep and Nicky smiled when he woke up in the morning and
found Jack's hand in his underwear.

All of the boy's seemed to be in a pretty good mood this morning, I
expected everyone to be a little sad considering the move but they were all
quite chipper.  The movers arrived and put all of our boxes in their truck
and we said goodbye to the house on Spring Creek Road.  I don't think
anyone looked back while we drove down the street; everyone seems to be
looking forward to settling in at the new house.
