The Keys to the Kingdom

Chapter 20: Our Happy Ending

When we called for them, the boys came running from all different
directions.  They settled on the sofa and looked at us with their typical
curiosity.

"What's going on Uncle Cam?" said Jack.

"Yeah Dad, what's up?" asked Nicky.

"Well guys, I got the results from Aiden's blood test today and I wanted to
have a talk about it with all of you," Cam explained.

Before Cam could continue, tears started to run down Aiden's face.

"Don't worry, it'll be ok," Ethan comforted, while rubbing Aiden's back in
a soothing fashion.

"Hey what's the matter?" I asked, kneeling down in front of the boys.

"I just know it's going to be more bad knows, I just know it," Aiden
sniffled.

"Aiden, it's not bad news," I smiled, "I swear it's not."

"You're not just saying that?" asked Aiden.

"I give you my word," I replied.

"Ok, well, what is it then?" he sniffled.

"Guys," said Cam, "We've been given a great gift today.  About an hour ago,
I got a call from Dr. Harris who runs the blood lab at the hospital.
Apparently when Aiden's HIV test was done, the technician cross
contaminated the sample."

"What's that mean?" asked Nicky.

"Guys, Aiden doesn't have HIV," Cam smiled.

"W-what?" asked Aiden.

"It's true son, they ran your test three times, zero sign of HIV in your
blood. Dr. Harris said they recently fired a technician for sloppy work, he
thinks he must have cross contaminated your original sample, somehow mixed
someone else's blood with yours," Cam explained.

"You're absolutely sure?" said Aiden.

"One hundred percent sure," Cam smiled.

"You mean I'm really not sick?" asked Aiden.

"You don't even have a cold," Cam smiled.

"So if I take the bandages off my hands..." Aiden began.

"You'll be just fine," Cam finished for him.

"You're really sure?" Aiden asked again.

"This is how sure I am," said Cam. He quickly removed Aiden's bandages,
held the hand to his face, and kissed the wound.

Aiden smiled and tears continued to run from his eyes but these were tears
of joy.

"This is the greatest thing ever!" Nicky exclaimed.

The boys clapped and cheered, they hugged Aiden, passing the boy between
them like a ragdoll.

"Wait a minute," said Ethan, angrily, "How the hell did this happen, look
what they put him through, we should sue!"

"I know it's terrible but people make mistakes," said Cam, "the person
responsible was fired and will probably never work in this field again.  I
don't know that we can ask for more."

"Well, I still say we should do something, poor Aiden, he's been so scared
and has had to put up with so much, taking all that nasty medication..."
Ethan ranted.

"Eth," said Aiden, resting his hand on Ethan's shoulder, "its ok, I'm not
sick, that's all that matters."

"Yeah but, it's just..." Ethan started, but was overcome as he started to
cry.

Ethan loved Aiden more than any of us knew and all this time, he'd been the
one worrying about Aiden's condition.  Behind his confident façade,
Ethan hid his fear so that he could be strong for his brother and
lover. Now his emotions were bravely on display for all of us to see.
Aiden held Ethan in a tender embrace; he rubbed his hand up and down
Ethan's back and even kissed him on the cheek.

"Shhh, it's ok," Aiden soothed, "I'm not sick Ethan, that's all that
matters, I'm healthy, I'm going to live a long time and we'll be able to do
all the things we've talked about, together."

"Daddy, what's the matter with Ethan?" asked Nicky, still just a little too
young to understand the complex emotions his big brother was feeling.

"He's ok kiddo, he's just happy," I explained.

"Yeah, but why is he crying?" asked Nicky.

"That's just what happens sometimes, when you feel so much joy your body
just reacts by crying," I stated.

"Come on Nicky, let's go celebrate in the kitchen," said Jack, "I'm glad
you're going to be ok Aiden."

"Yeah, that's the best news ever," Nicky agreed, as he and Jack headed out
to raid the fridge.

"Ethan, are you alright?" asked Cam.

"Yeah, I'm ok now," Ethan sniffled and wiped his eyes, "I just had to let
it out is all."

"Come on," said Aiden, "let's go upstairs so you can wash your face."

"I can go myself, don't you want to go celebrate with everyone?" said
Ethan.

"Sure I do, I don't think I've ever felt so great, but you took care of me
when I couldn't use my arm and you've done so much for me, I'm going to
take you upstairs and help you clean up," said Aiden.

Cam and I had a pretty good idea of what might happen when the boys got
upstairs.  Rather than embarrass them by making a comment about it, we
figured they deserved the chance to share this heaven sent news alone.

"We're going out to dinner to celebrate, be ready in about an hour, ok
boys?" I asked.

"Don't worry daddy, we'll be ready," Aiden beamed, then without any fear
what-so-ever, he took Ethan's hand and walked upstairs.

"Thanks for coming up with me, but I can wash my face by myself, I'll be
right back," said Aiden, when they got to their room.

"That can wait," said Aiden, as he pulled Ethan into his arms and gave him
a long tender kiss.

"I didn't mean to cry down there," said Ethan, when the kiss was broken, "I
just..."

"You don't have to say it, I know how you feel," said Aiden, "but for now,
I was wondering if we could put being brothers aside for a moment, I want
to celebrate with my boyfriend."

Ethan smiled his warmest smile, his blue eyes sparkled with mirth and he
walked over to his nightstand and pulled out the box of rubber gloves he
and Aiden kept for when they had sex.

"We don't need those anymore," Aiden smiled back.

"I know," said Ethan, he shot them into the wastebasket like an NBA
all-star, "Nothing but net."

"God I love you," laughed Aiden, as he took Ethan in his arms and twirled
around a few times.

The boys were still in their school uniforms but not for long.  Ethan and
Aiden are both precise and meticulous in their manners, they never did
anything clumsily but at the moment they were stumbling over shirt buttons
as they struggled to undress each other without breaking their kiss. They
finally had to stop so they could get their pants off, when they were both
in nothing but their black socks and white Calvin Klein briefs, Ethan took
a step back and admired Aiden's body.

"God damn," Ethan exclaimed.

"What?" asked Aiden.

"We do look alike," Ethan giggled.

"Well, we look good to me then," said Aiden, as he pounced on Ethan,
tackling him to the bed.

Aiden was always so careful, so tentative about how he touched Ethan and
how they interacted during their sexual escapades, this frisky and playful
side was a delightful new experience for Ethan and he giggled happily while
Aiden kissed his neck.

"What's so funny?" asked Aiden, as he stopped for a breath.

"You, I've never seen you like this, I like it," said Ethan.

"Well get used to it, I'm NOT SICK!" Aiden exclaimed, joyfully.

Ethan laughed but stopped abruptly when Aiden kissed his lips.  The boys
made out more passionately then they ever had before, each tongue darting
in and out, not worried about crossing any boundaries.  Ethan touched Aiden
everywhere he could, his hands danced across his back, groped his buns,
then moved them between their bodies, feeling his firm athletic tummy until
finally coming to rest on Aiden's package.  Ethan rubbed Aiden's hardening
cock, felt it stretching the tight cotton briefs he wore and when Aiden sat
up, Ethan hooked his thumbs in Aiden's underpants and yanked them down.

The boys got quiet for a moment as Ethan touched Aiden's cock for the first
time without any condom or rubber gloves.  Ethan stroked the soft skin
covering the rock hard pole, slowly at first, then more aggressively as
Aiden let out a gentle moan.  When precum started to leak from Aiden's
cock, Ethan coated his finger and brought it to his lips.

"I've wanted this for a long time," said Ethan, as he sucked his finger
into his mouth.

Ethan licked his finger clean and smiled up at Aiden.  Aiden was glowing,
the happiness he felt and the love he felt for Ethan making his body just
glisten.  He pulled down Ethan's briefs and licked gently at the head of
the nearly identical cock.

"Hey, we don't have time for that, we've got less than an hour and I still
want you in me, let's 69," said Ethan.

Aiden jumped at the chance and positioned his body so that his cock was
dangling just above Ethan's lips.  The boys licked each other hungrily as
each cock leaked its natural lubricant.  Aiden started to thrust his hips
ever so slightly, as he worked a finger into Ethan, preparing him for their
love making.  When he was ready, Ethan gave Aiden a gentle pat on the butt.

"I'm ready for you," smiled Ethan.

Aiden moved into position, he slipped between Ethan's legs, placed his cock
at his opening and then looked into Ethan's eyes.

"I love you," said Ethan.

"I love you to," said Aiden.

"It's ok, go ahead," said Ethan.

Slowly and carefully, Aiden pushed his cock into Ethan.  Ethan winced at
the intrusion but assured Aiden that he was ok.  He held on to Aiden's butt
and kept him in place as Aiden slipped inside, deeper and deeper with each
passing moment.  When Ethan felt Aiden's pelvic bone resting on his rump,
he smiled and kissed his lover, it was a gentle kiss, giving the perfect
accent to the intimacy of the moment.

Ethan didn't push, he held Aiden's cock within him and when his
doppelganger was ready, Ethan moaned passionately with each thrust.  Aiden
didn't fuck Ethan, he made love to him, kissed him, stroked his body, for
the first time he felt true love from the act of sex. Ethan enjoyed each
kiss and each thrust, he jerked himself as Aiden made love to him and when
the moment was right, each boy spilled his seed.

When Aiden collapsed against Ethan, Ethan held him and stroked his back.

"That was my first time," Ethan admitted.

"What, but all the time you've been with Nicky and Jack..." Aiden started.

"I love them but I never let them fuck me," said Ethan, "I mean, I probably
would have but they seem to like it when I do them."

"Wow," said Aiden, he had no idea that he'd be Ethan's first.

"I'm glad it was you," Ethan smiled, "I wanted it to be special."

Aiden kissed Ethan softly, then they showered together.  When they came
downstairs in jeans and polo shirts, they were grinning from ear to ear.
Cam and I traded a knowing look, we were sure they were happy about Aiden's
good news, but those grins betrayed the truth about what had happened
upstairs.

That night we feasted like kings.  We went to the best restaurant in
Wallingford and ate like there was no tomorrow.  When Jack got up to use
the restroom, Ethan followed and to my surprise, he dragged Nicky with him.
Aiden, Cam and I traded puzzled looks but our next course arrived and we
dug in, quickly forgetting the oddity of the three going to the bathroom
together.

"What is it?" asked Jack, when they got to the restroom.

Ethan locked the door then checked the stalls to make sure they were alone.

"Well?" asked Jack.

"Listen, you guys like Aiden, right?" asked Ethan.

"Of course we do, we love him, right Jack?" said Nicky.

"Absolutely, what's this about?" asked Jack.

"What I mean is, you guys think he's cute right?" said Ethan.

"Sure, just as cute as you," Nicky giggled, pinching Ethan's cheek.

"Ethan, what is it you want to ask, I can tell you're leading to
something," said Jack.

"Well, it's just that we've all messed around with each other and Aiden
couldn't because, well, you know.  I was just thinking, maybe we could have
a real celebration tonight, after dad and daddy got to bed," Ethan grinned.

"Oh, I get it," said Nicky.

"I'm in," said Jack.

"Awesome, here's what I have in mind," Ethan began.

When the three boys came back to the table they were each grinning
mischievously, but refused to answer any questions about what they were up
to.  We eventually gave up and figured we'd find out later, then continued
to enjoy our meal.  When we got home, we watched some TV, then we kissed
the boys good night.  Cam and I told Aiden how happy we were for him and he
thanked us for all the attention we'd given him and for all of the care
we'd taken to make him healthy.  No boy should ever have to thank his
parents for taking care of him but it was sweet that Aiden appreciated our
efforts to make him healthy. With that, Cam and I went to bed and slept
soundly for the first time in a week.

"Well, I think I'm going to hit the sack," said Jack.

"Yeah, me to," said Nicky, with an impish grin.

Ethan waited a few minutes then decided it was time for him to turn in as
well.

"But it's early," Aiden protested.

"Yeah but it's been an eventful day, come on, let's get some sleep," said
Ethan.

Aiden reluctantly followed Ethan up to their room and was surprised to find
Jack and Nicky making out on his bed, in nothing but black underwear.

"Uh, what's this?" asked Aiden.

Nicky and Jack walked over and stood in front of Aiden, Ethan came up
behind him, wrapped his arms around his waist and rested his chin on
Aiden's shoulder.

"We all love you and we've all done things together and if you're willing,
we want to have some fun with you," said Ethan.

"Wow, really, all of you?" asked Aiden.

"Uh huh," said Jack, as he moved in and kissed Aiden's neck.

"Yeah," said Nicky, while he started to pull at Aiden's belt.

"Listen guys, you don't have to do this," said Aiden.

"But we want to," said Nicky.

"Yeah, you're cute, just like Ethan," said Jack, as he moved over and
kissed Ethan.

Nicky Pulled Aiden's jeans down and when Ethan finished his kiss with Jack,
he moved back behind Aiden and pulled his polo shirt up and off. Ethan
stripped down to his black briefs and joined Jack and Nicky in front of
Aiden.

"What's with everyone in black underwear?" asked Aiden.

"We wanted to be sexy for you, don't you like it?" asked Nicky.

Aiden began to get into the spirit of things and rather than answer Nicky,
he grabbed the sexy little blond and kissed him.  Jack and Ethan maneuvered
Aiden on to the bed, with Nicky on top of him.  The older boys took
positions on either side and rubbed their hands up and down Aiden and
Nicky's bodies, while they kissed.

"So what do you want to do?" asked Nicky, when he broke the kiss and locked
his big blue eyes expectantly on his new brother.

Aiden looked at each boy, saw the love on their faces and knew that this
was going to be a night to remember.  He kissed Ethan and felt Jack's cock
and in that moment he knew what he wanted.

"I uh, want Jack to fuck me," said Aiden.

"What about the rest of us?" asked Nicky.

"Um," Aiden blushed, "Nicky I want you to ride my dick and Ethan I want you
to sit over my face so that I can make out with your hole while everything
else is going on, I mean if that's ok."

"I'm down," said Jack.

"I think that sounds hot," smiled Ethan.

"Yeah, me to," said Nicky.

"Before we start though, we've gotta get ready," said Jack.

Nicky and Ethan traded a look, then took off Aiden's undies.  They kissed
around his cock, their tongues lapping it up and down, making out around
the head. Jack stood next to Aiden's head so that all he had to do was turn
to his left and suck the big cock he craved.  Aiden nibbled on Jacks knob
through his black underwear and when it was good and hard, Jack fished it
out of his briefs and let Aiden give him a proper sucking.  Down below,
Ethan began to lick Aiden's hole, tickling it with his tongue then shoving
it in deep, Nicky continued to give Aiden one of his expert blow jobs,
running his soft pink tongue over the sensitive head.

Aiden's body was on overload, he'd never felt anything so sensual before.
At every pleasure zone in his body, there was a boy either putting
something in it or on it. Ethan and Nicky stripped off their briefs and
started making out, then Ethan prepared Nicky's hole with one of his expert
rim jobs.  Jack moved into position and pushed his dick at Aiden's hole.
It took a few minutes for him to get in but once his 8 inches was inside
his cousin, he held it there while the others took their places.

Nicky straddled over Aiden's body and lowered himself down on his slick
boner.  Now that he was getting a regular deep dicking from Jack's monster,
he slid on to Aiden with ease. Ethan took his place over Aiden's mouth and
when he felt the tongue he loved to kiss so much enter his hole, he let out
a soft moan.  Ethan's moan seemed to be the signal for the others to begin.
When they heard the sound, Jack began to work his hips back and forth while
Nicky bobbed up and down.

Ethan was facing Nicky and loved watching his little brother work his ass
on his twin.  Nicky was on the edge of being a teenager but he still had
the boyish good looks that had first drawn Ethan to him.  Ethan put his
arms around Nicky and kissed him, they moaned into each other's while Aiden
pleasured one with his tongue, the other with his cock.  The boys were a
tangle of writhing, moaning pleasure as they used their mouths and dicks to
give each other love.

"Ok, now everyone switch," said Aiden.

The boys looked at each other for a moment and then Ethan began to fuck
Aiden, Jack rode Aiden's cock and Nicky got rimmed. Nicky and Jack began to
stroke their cocks and when Jack had had enough of the hot dick in his
hole, he stroked himself to a climax, spraying Nicky and Aiden with what
seemed like a gallon of spunk.  Jack's orgasm sent Aiden over the edge, he
felt the hot cum land on his belly and he shot deep into Jack's ass.  When
that happened, Aiden's hole clamped around Ethan and the sensation worked
like a charm, Ethan shot load after load into his lover.  Nicky came last,
adding his light dribble to the mess on Aiden's belly.

"Wow," the four boys panted in unison.

"I don't know what to say guys," said Aiden.

The boys just laughed and kissed Aiden on the cheek.

"Come on squirt, let's let the lover birds have some fun," said Jack as he
picked Nicky up and tossed him over his shoulder.

"Ok, let's go to my room, you can fuck me again," said Nicky.

"Jesus twerp, you're insatiable," said Jack.

"Cute too," said Nicky.

"Yeah, yeah," said Jack, as he carried Nicky off to his room where yes, he
did fuck him again.

"I don't even know what to say, thanks for that," said Aiden.

"Well, you haven't been able to participate in our games, I thought you
needed to catch up," smiled Ethan.

"I love you so much," said Aiden.

"I know, and I love you too, I just wanted to give you a great night," said
Ethan.

"Any night with you is a great night," said Aiden.

"Awww, Aide," Ethan giggled.

The boys kissed playfully and snuggled under their covers, a storm was
brewing and they held each other close as the thunder struck.  Aiden
couldn't believe the day he'd had, he'd gone from being afflicted to elated
in less than hours, the feeling was indescribable, it was like all his
dreams had come true.  That night he slept like a baby, he hadn't slept
like that in a long, long time.

The days quickly added up and things returned to normal, at least as normal
as they ever got at our house.  Ethan and Aiden seemed to grow even closer
then they had been and even Jack and Nicky seem to be spending more time
together, despite all the new friends they'd made since the move.  Before
we knew it, Thanksgiving had arrived and we were hosting dinner at our
house.

The Headmaster's House has a huge dining room and we were able to easily
accommodate our family including both sets of grandparents.
Mrs. Pennybaker was doing all of the cooking, I had tried to give her the
day off but she insisted that she be here.  She and her husband weren't
visiting their daughter until Christmas and she refused to sit around the
house with just Fred to look after.  I agreed, but only after I convinced
her to bring Fred and join as for dinner, after all the things she's done
for our boys, she's family and welcome to celebrate with use any time.

When Mrs. Pennybaker called us to the table, we gazed in awe at the feast
she'd put before us.  We took our seats and instantly began to
salivate. When Mrs. Pennybaker brought out the turkey, we applauded and
then she sat it right in front of Nicky.

"Here you go dear, ours will be out in a minute," she winked.

We all laughed but Nicky licked his lips and picked up his knife and fork,
the expression on his face was like that of the coyote about to devour the
roadrunner.

"Sorry champ, she was only kidding," said Cam, as he moved the turkey.

"Weak," Nicky grumped.

Then Mrs. Pennybaker handed me the knife.

"You're the headmaster, you should carve," she smiled.

"Yes, but Cam is the surgeon, I think we'll let him wield the knife while I
make a toast," I stated.

"I think that would be lovely," smiled Mrs. Pennybaker.

I raised my glass and looked at my family.  I was surrounded by love, it
radiated from my mom and dad, from Cam's parents, from the faces of my
boys.  My boys, my beautiful, strong, caring boys, I looked at their faces
and felt true joy in my heart.  Each of them had come to us after a trauma,
the loss of parents, years of abuse, and yet here they sat, smiling, happy,
ready for anything the world had to throw at them.  Looking at their faces,
only one thought came to mind.

"Life is beautiful," I stated, then took my seat.

Everyone sat there, waiting for me to say more but I felt that said it all.

"Well said son," said my dad.

"Here, here," agreed Cam's father.

With that we began to pass around the various dishes.  The family praised
Mrs. Pennybaker's cooking, we traded stories, our parents embarrassed us by
telling the boys all the things we'd gotten ourselves into when Cam and I
had been their age, but I sat there, deep in thought.

My eyes kept looking over my boys.  I loved them unconditionally, and I
could see that love returned on their shining faces, but something wasn't
quite right.  I had this overwhelming sense that something was missing.  I
didn't know what it could be.  I had the boys, they brought me so much
happiness it didn't feel like there was even room for more.  I had my
career, not even 36 yet and I'm the headmaster of one of the most
prestigious preparatory schools in the country, and of course there is Cam.
We've been together since we were 17, there's nothing we hadn't done
together, I loved him more than life itself.

I looked over at Cam, seated on my left, and he smiled back at me.  His
smile was like a beacon, my heart fluttered and I even heard this song
echoing in the recesses of my mind.

I may not always love you.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Cam, as I stared at him.

But long as there are stars above you.

"Uh, well, uh," I stuttered, the thought still forming.

You never need to doubt it.

"Brenden?" asked Cam.

I'll make you so sure about it.

"Did you have something you wanted to say?" said Cam, a confused expression
playing across his face.

God only knows what I'd be without you.

And just like that, the light bulb clicked on and I saw clearly, I found my
voice and I knew what I wanted, had to, needed to say.

"Marry me Cam," I whispered.

The conversation around us grew quiet and heads turned in our direction.

"Bren, don't joke," said Cam.

"Marry me Cam," I repeated, this time loudly and clearly.

"I thought you said you didn't need that in your life, that we didn't need
some piece of paper to express how we feel," said Cam.

"I did say that, and I've never been more wrong about anything in my life,"
I replied.

"You, wrong? I can't believe my ears," Cam teased, buying himself some time
to think about what I'd said.

"Look at what we have together," I said, gesturing at the boys, "You've
given me everything but I want something more.  I didn't think I needed it
but I do, you are my world, marry me Cam."

"Do it dad, you don't want us to be little bastards, do you?" said Nicky,
sticking out his bottom lip.

"Come on, you can't argue with that face," I giggled, "Please say you
will?"

Cam took my hand in his and squeezed it tightly, then smiled.

"You're right, how can I argue with that?" smiled Cam.

It was a small ceremony but everyone we loved was there.  We waited until
Christmas break and flew the family to Germany.  We got married in an
ancient Bavarian village surrounded by the boys and our parents.  The best
part is my brother Brian and his wife, Whitney, are watching the boys for a
week so that we can take our honeymoon.  I know the kids will have a great
time exploring Germany with their aunt and uncle and Jack is so happy to
get some time with his mom and dad.  This worked out great for all of us.

Cam and I decided to take our honeymoon on the Italian Island of Capri, in
the Tyrrhenian Sea.  The views were breathtaking, even at night, when we
sat on our balcony and watched the lights of the Italian mainland twinkle
in the distance.

"I'm glad you picked this place," said Cam.

"Me to, you know the Emperor Tiberius built a villa here and ran most of
Rome from this place," I stated.

"Thank you for the lesson professor," laughed Cam.

I tried to think of a witty rejoinder but when I looked at Cam and saw the
love on his face, well, what was the point of a snappy comeback?

I took his hand in mine and held it, occasionally stroking his delicate
surgeon's fingers.  We didn't say anything after that, we didn't need to.
Some would probably say that when you've been together as long as Cam and I
have, you don't really need to communicate with words.  As for me, well, I
think that sometimes silence can be the greatest passion of all.

THE END
