May 2015 The Lunch Room of Crazy Horse Junior High School, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania “God damn it to hell.” “Gus what's the matter? Why did you cuss? You don’t talk like that.” “I’m trying to be more like my Dad. Sure I look like him but I want to act like him too. I figure that I’m not gay so I won’t fall in love with someone like Uncle Justin but I can cuss like Dad does.” “Well quit it, it doesn’t suit you. Your Dad wouldn‘t want you to act like him he wants you to be yourself.” “Lance shut the fuck up. What do you know about what my Dad wants, you've hardly ever said two words to him?” “It still doesn’t suit you Gus, give it up before you look foolish. You have an image to maintain and it doesn’t include cussing for cussing’s sake. What happened that started this bout of cussing in the first place? I haven't said much to your Dads but I've heard them talk about you over the years.” “Look at this new High School attendance map. It‘s a fucking disaster.” “What about it? I told you that this cussing doesn‘t suit you at all.” “They changed the boundaries, my mothers’ house is now in the Sitting Bull attendance zone instead of the Chief Joseph zone. I want to go to Chief Joseph with you and all of our friends. I want to be a Fighting Appaloosa not a Buffalo. Then down at the bottom it says no exceptions made for any reason.” “Well your Dad’s house is still in the Chief Joseph zone, just move in with your dads and then you can go to CJHS.” “Like that's going to happen. I’ve got to think of a plan so that Mom and Mama will let me move in with Dad and Uncle Justin. They‘ve never understood why I like sports so much and the fact that I‘ve always planned on going to Chief Joseph won‘t be a good enough reason for them to let me move in with Dad and Uncle Justin. Maybe I should tell them I‘ve changed my mind and I really am gay and I need to live with Dad and Uncle Justin‘s so that they can teach me to become the best possible gay man I can. Or maybe I should tell them I‘m tired of being kidded for living with two lesbians. Maybe I should tell them I‘m sick of being called a faggot because my parents are a queer and a dyke and I want to live with you.” “Gus be very careful about this. Your mothers won’t like being played and you know as well as I do that your dads won’t go along with anything if your mothers don’t agree. Besides none of them will believe that you changed your mind about being straight. They also know that you wouldn‘t let being called names affect you enough to want to move from one house to the other one. My mother would have a stroke if I asked if you could move in with us and then we would both have to find a place to live. Sometimes I really think that she thinks that you sexually attack anyone and everyone you meet simply because your Dads are gay.” “You’re right, Lance, the four of them always work together. You would think they would be like other parents and disagree once in a while. I mean disagree about me; I know that they disagree with each other but never when it concerns me. I'll just have to come up with the perfect plan. I’m going to go to Chief Joseph High, I just have to figure out how to accomplish my goal.” “Be happy for what you have Gus. Four people wanting what is best for you is a very good situation. Don‘t risk that situation just so you can go to one High School instead of another.” “I know that I have a great family but it can be so pain in the assish at times. Dad won’t kiss Uncle Justin in front of me because he's afraid of what people will think. Hell he won’t even hold hands with Uncle Justin if he thinks I can see them doing it. Like I don’t know what they do when I’m not there or after I go to bed when I spend the night at their place. They aren’t nearly as quiet as they think they are. Some nights they probably wake everyone in the neighborhood up. 'Oh Brian oh Brian', 'Sunshine you stud', 'Oh, oh, oh my god'. I wonder if everyone says things like that while they're having sex.” “What do they do?” “I don’t know for sure and I don’t want to know for sure but I can make some pretty good guesses and I think that a lot of people would be surprised to know that Uncle Justin isn’t the passive partner in the relationship all of the time. Mikey in particular would be horrified to find out that his 'bestest friend in the entire world' isn‘t always in charge.” “What does that mean? My mother would be so horrified if she knew we were having this conversation. Hell she's still horrified that you and I are friends.” “Think about it Lance; passive and active. Remember our sex education class from last semester and then put two guys together instead of a man and a woman.” “You mean your little Uncle Justin gets on top. How does that work, forget it I don’t want to know.” “Yes and I think my Dad really likes it when he does because he's a lot louder those nights than when he's the active one. Uncle Justin isn‘t so little either if you get my drift.” “Gus I don’t think I want to think about that. How do you know that?” “Me either but sometimes you have no choice in what you think about especially when they get so loud that it wakes you up from a deep sleep. You know I’m pretty sure that if I were to say something about their activity that my Dad would blush redder than Uncle Justin does. That would be interesting though considering how red Uncle Justin can get. I‘ve seen both of them at the swimming pool when they were changing into their swimsuits. Dad and Uncle Justin are pretty much a match in size.” “I really didn’t need to know that Gus. Let’s get our food and then talk about your plan before lunch is over and we have to go to class.” “Lance, do you think the food will be better at Chief Joseph?” “I sure hope that it can’t be worse.” *** “Mom will you and Mama be home later? I need to talk to both of you?” “Yes Gus we'll be here. What do you need to talk about?” “School, I’ll see you later then. Lance and I are going to the mall to look for dancing shoes.” “What does that mean young man?” “Footwear that you wear when you're dancing.” “Gus you're spending too much time with your Dad.” “You don’t mean that do you Mom?” “No Gus, I was just pulling your chain. Why would you be looking for dancing shoes?” “Lance and I asked Marie and Johanna to go with us to the End of School Dance tomorrow night.” “Oh Gussy that's so sweet. Why haven‘t you said anything sooner?” “Mom. I‘m growing up I don‘t have to tell you everything I do.” “Don’t worry Gus I won’t embarrass you in front of anyone. Yes you have to tell me everything you do.” “Mom, you’re kidding aren’t you?” “Yes I’m kidding about knowing everything. But it's sweet that you are going on your first dance date.” “Well it isn’t a real date. Kinneys don’t do dates.” “Augustus Brian, you know better than to listen to your Dad when he says something like that.” “Actually Uncle Justin said it when I told them that I was going to ask Johanna to the dance.” “What?” “Got cha Mom.” “Get out of here you little scamp.” “See; you listen to Uncle Justin too. It's so funny when he calls me little scamp and he has to look up at me to do it.” *** “Gus why're we at the mall?” “I told my Mom that we were going to look for dancing shoes. So we have to look for dancing shoes. We don’t have to buy any but we do have to look at them.” “You know Gus, as confusing as that was I know what you're talking about. We've been friends too long.” “Geez Lance you almost have as big a smile as Uncle Justin.” “Thanks for the compliment. My mother would be horrified that I think being compared to a Boy Toy is a compliment.” “Uncle Justin isn’t a Boy Toy. She still thinks that he's a Boy Toy? Uncle Justin is the twink that wouldn’t go away.” “Why do I even try to be funny around you Gus? What's a twink?” “I don’t know for sure but Mikey still calls Uncle Justin that anytime he's upset with anything in his life. I sometimes think that Mikey is jealous of Uncle Justin for some reason. Like Dad ever thought of Mikey in that way. Lance are you looking forward to this dance? I plan on having a good time. Johanna is the prettiest girl at Crazy Horse.” “Not really Gus, I don’t know what I’m going to say to Marie. I certainly don’t know how to dance. I sure hope she doesn‘t expect me to kiss her.” “You’ll do fine, we’ll stay close together and can back each other up. There's nothing to kissing. I’ve seen all of my parents kissing enough to know that much. I’m kind of looking forward to trying it. Though Dad still tries to hide his kissing Uncle Justin from me.” “Have you ever figured out why he doesn’t want you to see them kissing?“ “I once heard Uncle Justin tell Mama that Dad is afraid that people'll think he's trying to convert me. That's so stupid, how can people think of things that idiotic” “Gus do you ever think about having sex?” “Only every time I jack off.” “Jack off; what's that?” “You don’t know what jacking off is? How can you be 14 years old and not know that? Forget I said that Lance I wasn’t thinking. Your mother certainly wouldn‘t have told you about it and you don‘t have a father or brother to tell you about the birds and the bees. My Dad told me about sex and I‘ve never seen him so embarrassed as he was while he was talking to me about penises and vaginas and safe sexual acts. I really didn‘t know what the hell he was talking about and I certainly didn‘t want to risk him having a heart attack so I didn‘t ask any questions. I asked Aunty Em and he took me to talk with a professor of health and human sexuality. That's how I learned about masturbation.” “Don’t keep it a big secret Gus. What's jacking off?” “Masturbation is stimulating your erection until you ejaculate.” “In English Gus in English so I know what you're talking about.” “You rub your dick until it gets hard and then keep rubbing it until you shoot your load.” “I’ve done that I just didn’t know what it was called. Do you think your Dad would tell me about the birds and bees, since my mother never will and I certainly can’t ask my minister.” “Dad wouldn’t be a good choice; if he can’t talk about it in front of me, his Sonnyboy, I don’t think he would be able to breathe if he tried to tell you. Uncle Justin might be a good choice but I think we probably should get Aunty Em’s professor friend to talk to you.” “Gus you still didn’t tell me about your thinking about having sex.” “Well Lance I think about what it will be like to have sex when I’m jacking off but I know that I’m going to be just like my Dad and save myself until I find my true love.” “What?” “Dad didn’t do anything until he met and fell in love with Uncle Justin. I intend to do the same thing. I'll be a virgin until I meet and fall in love with my true love. Of course we'll wait until the proper time once we do meet. You don’t want to rush into anything until you're perfectly sure it is the right person.” “That sounds like a good plan.” “Well if it was good enough for Brian Kinney it's good enough for me.” *** “Hi Gus, did you find any new shoes for the dance?” “Hi Mom, I didn’t see anything that would work better than what I’ve already got. I certainly don’t see the sense in buying more shoes just to be buying more shoes.” “Gus don’t ever say anything like that to your Dad, you’ll give him a heart attack.” “Huh?” “You know that shopping is your Dad’s favorite pastime don’t you? “I don’t mind shopping I just don’t see any sense in buying something you don’t need.” “I think your Dad would say what sense does it make to shop if you don’t buy anything.” “That does sound like him but I’m more like Uncle Justin who sees no sense in buying stuff just to be buying stuff. But you do have to admit that Dad has very good taste in what he buys. Where's Mama?” “She's in our room changing out of her court clothes. What do you want to have for supper?” “Lance and I ate at the mall so I don’t need a full meal. Aren’t you glad I take after Dad in my eating habits? I'd eat you out of house and home if I ate like Uncle Justin. How does he stay so thin considering how much he can eat? It's amazing that he can eat more than Dad and me together and never gains any weight.” “I don’t know Gus, he's eaten like that ever since I’ve known him. He either has a huge tapeworm or a metabolism that doesn’t quit.” “That’s gross Mom. Hi Mama, how was your day in court?” “Hi Gus, I won my case. I hear you want to talk to us about some school situation.” “Yes I do and I want you to hear me out before you say no.” “I don’t like the sound of that young man.” “It isn’t anything bad Mom but I need to move in with Dad and Uncle Justin sometime this summer.” “What?” “The Pittsburgh Public Schools have changed the attendance zones for the High Schools and this house is no longer in the Chief Joseph zone and I don’t want to go to Sitting Bull High. I want to go to Chief Joseph with Lance and my other friends. Dad’s house is still in the Chief Joseph zone so if I start living there I can go to Chief Joseph and play football for the Fighting Appaloosas just like I’ve been planning for years. My moving has nothing to do with you two or Dad and Uncle Justin for that matter. This is the only way I can go to the High School I want to attend.” “Gus we're going to have to think about this. You can’t expect us to say yes or no without talking to each other and to your Dads.” “I know that Mom and I haven’t said anything to Dad or Uncle Justin yet. I'll go along with whatever you decide but I really want to go to Chief Joseph.” “Gus we'll meet with Brian and Justin tomorrow while you're at your dance. Mel I found out today that Gus is going on his first date?” “Mom I told you it isn’t a date. Lance and I are just going to a dance with two of our female classmates.” “Gus that's so cute and so Kinney.” “Mama do you have to pick on Dad even when he hasn’t done anything. Well he did buy me an outfit to wear at my first dance. You should have seen how Uncle Justin rolled his eyes when Dad gave me the clothes.” “I can imagine, I thought Brian was getting better about buying you clothes every five minutes.” “Well he said this was a special occasion and that I needed to be dressed hot to impress my companion. That's when Uncle Justin just rolled his eyes and grimaced. I bet they had some hot sex after I left.” “Gus, what does that mean?” “It means that I know more about their private life than they think I do. Dad really thinks that I don’t know that they kiss.” “Brian and Justin kissing, did you know that happens Mel?” “It's a surprise to me Linds.” “Ha ha, you two should grow up. I’m going to my room. I’m going to go to Dad’s in the morning to help Uncle Justin with the garden. Uncle Justin said that they would take us to the Dance and I’m sure that Dad is planning on taking plenty of pictures. I’ll tell them to come by here after they let us off at the school so the four of you can talk about me moving in with them this summer. Mom why would Dad tell me that I shouldn’t wear any underwear tomorrow night?” “He said what?” “He said I shouldn’t wear any shorts under my new pants because they would disrupt the flow of the material, then Uncle Justin smacked him upside of the head and started giggling like a I don‘t know what.” “Gus you do what feels comfortable to you. Ask your Dad if you really want to know, I’ll bet he turns two shades of red and doesn’t give you an answer.” “Mama what's that supposed to mean?” “I think that Brian's finally admitting to himself that you are growing up. You have wanted to grow up too fast all of your life and Brian never liked the idea of you getting older. He's finally giving in to fate and is going to let you grow up but don’t let him push you any faster than you want to go. Besides before we know it you're going to be getting married and making us grandparents.” “Don’t worry about that happening any time soon Mama. I’m going to wait for my true love no matter how long that takes. If Dad could wait until he was almost 30 then I certainly can wait as long as necessary. Good night, I‘ll see you tomorrow after the dance in case I leave in the morning before you get up.” “Lindsay what did he mean about Brian waiting until he was 30?” “For some reason Gus believes that Brian was as pure as the driven snow until he met and fell in love with Justin.” “Where did he get that idea?” “I have no idea Mel and neither does Gus. The day he finally admits the truth to himself about that is going to be a rocky point in our son’s life. He idolizes Brian so when he has to admit that Brian was anything but a virgin, before Justin, is going to be hard on him.” “Does Brian know that Gus thinks he was a virgin until he met Justin?” “I doubt it though Justin probably knows.” “Lindsay what do you think about this moving in with them idea?” “I don’t know it came as a complete surprise. I never thought Gus was unhappy about his life. There has to be more to this than he is telling us. He has to be running one of his plans to keep us from hurting. Something has to be happening and he doesn’t want us to know because it would hurt our feelings or something. Maybe Brian or Justin will know what he's up to. Gus does open up more with them, especially Justin, than he does with us. Maybe he thinks he needs more of a male influence in his life.” “Well we'll be better off if we don’t let it upset us. We have to remember that we're the adults and that we know what's best for our son even if it isn‘t what he wants.” “By the same token then, Mel, we have to let him move in with the guys if that is what's best for Gus. Of course Brian and Justin may not want him to move in with him. It would disrupt their sex life if Brian is still worried about Gus seeing them kissing.” “Brian will have his Sonnyboy moved faster than Captain Astro moved in with Galaxy Lad if we give him the ok. I would have never believed that Brian Kinney would ever become a monogamous family man if you had asked me 15 years ago. It's too bad that whatever Justin did to tame the King of Liberty Avenue can’t be bottled and sold on the open market.” “What always surprised me is how happy Brian is that Justin tamed him. Gus couldn’t have had two better Dads than Brian and Justin.” “As much as it hurts me to say so I have to agree. Actually it doesn’t really hurt anymore to say nice things about Brian. Who would have ever thought that would ever happen.” *** “Good morning Uncle Justin, are you ready to work in the garden?” “Sure Gus, just let me get my work gloves.” “Why doesn’t Dad ever help with the garden?” “It just isn’t something he enjoys doing. There're other chores around the house that he does that I don’t enjoy doing so it works out in the long run. Well Gus are you ready for the big dance tonight?” “Yes and no Uncle Justin. It should be a lot of fun but then I worry that I won’t know what I’m doing and will make a fool of myself.” “Just have fun and don’t worry about what you look like. Johanna is a pretty girl and more importantly a smart girl so just go and have a good time. My only request is that you don’t do anything stupid. You're only 14 so be careful. I certainly don’t want to have to deal with any kind of hangover tomorrow morning or a baby in 9 months.” “UNCLE JUSTIN!” “Gus I know what it's like to be 14 and I know that you're physically capable of fathering children.” “UNCLE JUSTIN!” “I know that this is embarrassing Gus but you know that I want the very best for you and being a father at 15 wouldn’t be good for you. Momentary pleasure, and believe me it'd be momentary, won‘t be enough if it results in a baby.” “UNCLE JUSTIN!” “Gus no matter what your Dad says wear underwear tonight and keep your dick in them. Hell wear two pair of shorts under those overly tight pants he bought you.” “UNCLE JUSTIN!” “Why're you yelling at me Gus?” “Because you're embarrassing the hell out of me. I have no intentions of having sex tonight. Even if I did I know enough to use a condom. Uncle Justin this is my first date why would you think I would have sex on the very first date of my life?” “Better that I embarrass you than you have a baby in nine months. Actually Gus I've no idea why I was saying what I said. I guess I’m more upset about you growing up than I ever thought I would be. I know that you aren’t planning to do anything tonight. I just don’t want anything to happen because of the moment. Johanna is a pretty girl and you're going on your first date and your hormones are raging and I’m doing it again. I’ll shut up before you explode. I’m sorry for embarrassing you Gus but you know I love you with all of my heart.” “That’s ok Uncle Justin it was just a surprise that you would say anything like that. Not that I expect Dad to say anything since he still thinks I’m a baby and would be upset if I saw him kiss you. You two kissing has never bothered me in fact I love seeing how happy the two of you are when you kiss each other.” “You little scamp; your Dad doesn’t think you're a baby, though he probably wishes that you were still that young. Why do you think your Dad told you not to wear any shorts under those pants he bought for you to wear tonight?” “I don’t know. I asked Mom and Mama and they told me to ask him.” “He knows how grown up you're becoming and he wants you to emphasize your Kinney attributes.” “Huh?” “Think about it Gus, if you don’t wear any shorts under those tight wool-crepe pants what's everyone going to see?” “That's gross, why would anyone want to see my dick through my pants?” “That answer makes me feel better anyway. Actually Gus I don’t think he really wants you to do it but he felt the need to point it out to let you know that he's ready to let you grow up.” “That didn’t answer the question though. Why would anyone want to see my dick? Uncle Justin why're you getting so red?” “I’m getting red because I don’t know how to answer your question and I shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place. I’ll tell you if you really want to know.” “That's ok Uncle Justin I suppose I can guess but it 's still gross. Shit is that why Dad doesn’t wear underwear most of the time? Uncle Justin I didn’t know that you could get that red. Uncle Justin breathe before you pass out.” “Gus why've you started cussing so much?” “I’m trying to be more like Dad.” “Well stop cussing it doesn’t suit you. To answer your question, your Dad likes shopping for underwear and shoes much more than he likes wearing them. As long as I’ve known him he's had a closet full of shoes and yet is barefoot every time you turn around. It is amazing how many times I’ve had to scrub the bottoms of his feet because he refuses to wear shoes. You will have to ask him why he doesn’t wear underwear.” “Is that your way of chickening out?” “Yes you little scamp that's my way of chickening out.” “I just remembered; you and Dad need to go by the house and talk to Mom and Mama after you drop me, Lance, and the girls off at the school.” “Why?” “It'll be easier to let them explain it. But Uncle Justin it's something I really want to do.” “That sounds mysterious, very Kinney like but mysterious. I suppose you won’t tell me anything if I ask?” “Like I said it'll be easier if you just wait until you talk to them.” “Gus you do know that you don’t have to wear the outfit your Dad bought if you aren’t comfortable in them. They're a lot tighter than you're used to wearing your clothes.” “I’ll wear them I might even try the pants on without my shorts just to see what it feels like though I’m pretty sure it won’t feel good enough to make me want to go out in public with my dick showing. Is that a gay thing to want people to see your dick through your pants?” “Your Dad would never want you to do anything that you aren’t comfortable doing.” “I know that Uncle Justin. I know how much he loves me, and you for that matter, even if he doesn’t say it out loud very often.” “Well Gus he's a lot better about saying it than he used to be. What do you want to have for supper? You can get cleaned up and ready for the dance while I’m making it? Where's the day gone?” “Hamburgers will be fine. I’m pretty sure that I'll be too nervous to eat much before the dance. Lance and I are planning on taking the girls to Rick’s Ice Cream Shoppe afterwards.” *** “Brian don’t embarrass Gus, I did enough of that already today.” “You embarrassed him Sunshine, how did you do that?” “I don’t know how it happened, let alone why, but before I knew it I was going on and on about his keeping his dick in his pants so that he wouldn’t have a baby in 9 months.” “What? You didn’t? I wish I'd been there. How red did you get when he called you on it?” “Very; but I got even redder when he wanted to know why anyone would want to see his dick through his pants. I blame that one on you.” “How can you blame it on me, I wasn’t there?” “Because he asked me why you told him not to wear underwear under those tight pants you bought him.” “I’ll take the blame then. Why'd I say that? What did you tell him?” “I chickened out though he did figure it out and then he wanted to know if that was why you don’t wear underwear most of the time. I told him to ask you.” “I hope he forgets about it because I'll pass out if I have to explain that I wear tight pants with no underwear to turn you on so that I can get into your pants. Why does even the thought of talking about sexual matters to Gus bother me so much? I’ve never been a prude in my life except around him. I sure never had any problems talking and showing you all about sex and he isn‘t that much younger than you were the night we met. Oh my God how'd he get to be so old? Maybe I should have bought him a chastity belt instead of a pair of tight pants.” “It’s because he’s your Sonnyboy and you don’t ever want to look human to your little boy. As much as I hate to admit it he isn’t a little boy anymore, not that he's ever been the typical little boy, and while I’m pretty sure he won’t have sex tonight he’s his father’s son and he isn’t going to stay a virgin forever. A chastity belt; how'd that work for a straight boy? Brian the boy is growing up, you have to let him grow up but you don‘t have to push him.” “With the package he has he's going to have girls and boys hitting on him sooner than I want to think about. Justin you’re going to have to talk to him about how to deflect unwelcome propositions one of these days.” “Me why can’t you do it?” “You do know who you're talking to don’t you Sunshine? I suddenly wonder how he'd react if he knows we've noticed the size of his package?” “Of course I do Brian, and I don’t want you in jail for beating up some poor little twink who makes a pass at your Sonnyboy. Yes I’ll talk to him about it; luckily he only has the Kinney package and doesn’t have the Taylor bubble butt. I imagine that he would be as horrified to know that we've noticed how large he's hung as you would be if he were to compliment you on how big your package is. I hate to say this but it’s probably a good thing Gus's straight. We would both go crazy with worry if he was going out on a date with another boy since we know what'd probably happen. With Gus dating girls we don‘t really know what’s going on and can pretend that nothing sexual is likely to happen.” “I’m sure glad that my Kinney package and your Taylor bubble butt are intimately acquainted. Gay or straight doesn‘t matter Sunshine I‘m going to worry about Sonnyboy any and every time he's out on a date. Hell I’ll probably worry about him on his wedding night. If he were to say anything indicating that he's noticed my groin I'd probably faint on the spot. Come here Justin and help me forget about my fears for a few minutes.” “Brian he should be coming back here for supper anytime you don’t want him to catch us kissing do you?” “Maybe I should get over that phobia, oh shit I heard his door shut, I‘ll just have to kiss those lips off of your face after we take the kids to the dance.” “That reminds me,Gus told me that we need to go by Mel and Linds’ place after we drop the kids off at the dance. He wouldn‘t tell me why which makes me think he has a plan in motion.” “We really need to get across to him that he can’t keep running these plans since one of these days one of them is going to blow up in his face.” “I imagine that Gus'll stop running plans, to make people happy, about the same time you stop using your body to make me happy.” “Since I’m never going to do that I guess we’ll have to live with Gus making everyone happy with his plans. I’m still happy that he got me and my mother back together before she died. Have you heard anything from Claire or the boys lately?” “Nothing in that last several months.” “Hi Dad, did you look at what Uncle Justin and I did out in the garden?” “Yes Sonnyboy I did, it's going to look wonderful later in the summer once everything has filled out. Speaking of looking wonderful, Justin come here and look at Sonnyboy. I told you that the outfit I bought was perfect for him. Those shoes don‘t quite work as well as I would like but until his feet stop growing it doesn’t make any sense to buy shoes any more often than absolutely necessary; since they won‘t fit the day after they're bought. What’s happened to me? I never would’ve worried about whether it was practical to buy shoes for a one time event 15 years ago.” “Dad don’t embarrass me. My feet aren’t that big and they aren’t growing that fast. I tried wearing the pants with no underwear like you said but it just feels too weird for me to go out dressed that way. That soft material hugging my dick will take some getting used to before I can do it in public. Besides the idea of anyone being able to see my dick isn‘t something I want to think about.” “That's ok Gus, I shouldn’t have said anything in the first place. Never do anything you aren’t comfortable with just because someone asks or tells you to do it. ” “Yes Dad and I don’t take candy from strangers either. But Dad you probably better start breathing before you pass out.” “Sonnyboy are you being a smart ass? What do you mean I should start breathing?” “A Kinney being a smart ass how could that ever happen Dad? Dad you're starting to get as red as Uncle Justin and taking deep breaths usually causes him to get over his blushing because I said something sexual” “I don't know what your'e talking about Sonnyboy." "Tell yourself what you have to Dad, tell yourself what you have to." "Justin go get your stick.” “What stick Brian?” “The beat them off of me, stick. You know the one you have to take with you anytime you go out in public without me to protect you from unwanted admirers.” “What the hell are you talking about?” “Come out of the kitchen and look at our son and then ask me that?” “Oh God, forget about a stick we're going to need a cattle prod. Gus do you have any idea how handsome you look in that green silk shirt and those charcoal pants. Gus quit turning red you have to let us act like adoring parents once in a while. Besides a red face doesn’t go with that forest green shirt. Brian get the camera. Gus I know I embarrassed you this afternoon but remember what I said. Brian you haven’t lost your touch; this outfit is perfect. It fits just right even if it's tighter than normal and the colors are exactly right. Forest green and charcoal emphasize his coloring, eyes, and hair. That tight wool-crepe blend with tapered legs points out how long his legs have become. That soft silk shirt glimmers and emphasizes his eyes. Gus when are you going to quit growing? Gus are you sure you don’t want to let your mothers see you before you go to the dance?” “So that they can embarrass me too; I don‘t think so. I think I’m going to go change out of these clothes into some khakis and a sweater.” “No Gus don’t do that we’ll behave. Let’s go eat something before we pick up the girls and Lance. Why're we picking them all up at Marie’s house?” “Johanna and Marie live on the same block and Lance doesn’t want his mother to know that you two are driving us to the dance. Mrs. Smith still doesn’t like the idea of Lance and me being friends. Uncle Justin how old are you now? Mrs. Smith still thinks you're Dad’s Boy Toy.” “I’m 32. I’ll have to send her a thank you note for thinking that I’m still that young.” “Uncle Justin you wouldn’t do that would you?” “No you little scamp I’ve embarrassed you all I’m going to today. Well maybe one more time, Brian put the camera on automatic and then we can have a picture of all three of us.” “Why would you think that would embarrass me?” “Because I’m going to be kissing you in the picture?” “UNCLE JUSTIN!” “Ok I’ll just stand beside you and glow with joy because my little scamp is such a handsome young man.” “Then I'll glow even brighter because I'll be standing with my Sonnyboy and my Sunshine.” “Has anyone told you two how goofy you can be?” “Has anyone ever told you that Sunshine?” “Not that I remember Brian. Ok guys smile for the camera.” *** “Thank you Mr. Kinney for giving us a lift.” “No problem Johanna.” “This sure's a nice car Mr. Kinney, Gus told us that you always own the newest Jeep possible.” “Owning a Jeep is kind of a family tradition Marie.” “Good bye Mr. Kinney, Good bye Mr. Taylor.” “Good bye Lance.” “Thanks for the ride Dad. I’ll see you and Uncle Justin at Mom’s after the dance.” “Are you sure you don’t need a ride home Gus?” “Marie’s mother is picking us up at the Ice Cream Shoppe at 11 Dad. I‘ll be home with Mom and Mama by 11:30.” “Gus remember what Justin told you, don’t do anything that you'll regret in the future.” “Dad what's with you two I’m not going to have sex tonight. I’m your son remember, if you can control your urges I can control mine.” “What do you mean Sonnyboy?” “I love you Dad, I’ll see you later. I‘ve got to go catch up with Lance and the girls. Good bye.” “Control my urges what the hell did he mean by that?” “It’s a mystery Brian, let’s go find out what Gus wants from us and his mothers.” *** “Gus your Dad is very handsome and other than your hair you look just like him. Look guys I made Gus turn red.” “It's the colored filters they put on the lights here in the gym, Johanna.” “Tell that to someone who believes it Gus. Just admit you aren’t comfortable taking a compliment about your looks. Gus everyone at Crazy Horse knows that you're the best looking guy at school so don’t worry about it so much.” “Just drop it Johanna, could you?” “Let’s get some punch before we start to dance.” *** “We’re here, what does Gus want us to talk about?” “We can get to that in a minute Brian, tell us how he looked going on his first date. Was he nervous or completely calm like his Dad?” “Since I bought his outfit how do you think he looked? He was as cool as a cucumber. I have to admit that his date is a beautiful young lady and they made beautiful couple.” “He looked like a younger you but did he look good?” “Melanie if he looks like a younger me then he would look good if he went to the dance barefoot, in a pair of overhauls, and with straw in his hair.” “Brian if you and Mel can quit having so much fun you can just use the pictures we made to show the girls how handsome our son is.” “Sunshine do you always have to be a spoilsport?” “Yes, it's so much fun and I get to do it a lot when I’m with you.” “Just show us the pictures and save the foreplay for when you get home tonight.” “Lindsay, what ever do you mean?” “Justin that Sunshine smile doesn’t work on me. Give it a rest; even Gus is picking up on your sex lives.” “What does that mean?” “It means Brian that even though you try to hide your physical affection for Justin from Gus he knows full well that you two love each other and express that love sexually.” “Brian give me the pictures while you consider the fact that your Sonnyboy knows that you aren’t celibate.” “Here're the pictures Melanie, Justin I think I need to sit down.” “Brian why does this bother you so much? It doesn’t bother Gus or he would have said something to us.” “I don’t know Justin I just don’t know. Everyone on Liberty Avenue probably thinks I’ve been fucking you in front of the boy since he was born yet I fall apart at the idea that Gus knows we have sex.” “Don’t worry about it Brian, he's never seen us do anything, well except for the horsie incident, so while he may know we have sex he doesn’t know what we do. He's spending the night here so we can go home and make passionate love without any worries.” “I know all of that in my head but I don’t want to disappoint him in anyway. I never want him to wish he had a different father. I know all about wanting a better Dad.” “You don’t disappoint Gus in anyway. Gus adores his Dad and he knows how much you love me. So he knows we have sex; what kid doesn’t know that, deep down, about their parents? Just forget about it and let’s find out what he wants from the four of us.” “Ok Justin, you always know what to say to calm me down. I do love you Justin Kinney-Taylor.” “I know Brian, I know. Well ladies do the young women of Pittsburgh stand a chance now that young Mr. Peterson-Marcus is on the prowl?” “Brian your goal of making Gus look hot was a total success. Those colors are perfect. The shirt and pants are cut perfectly to accentuate his build. I notice that he didn’t take your underwear advice though.” “Lindsay it would be wise not to tell Gus that you noticed that his dick wasn’t showing. He finds the idea that people would want to see his dick through his pants unseemly. I don’t think he would handle the idea that his mother looked to see if his dick was visible in a positive manner.” “Justin I would never say something like that to Gus. But why didn’t he follow the advice of his Dad, he does everything Brian tells him to do.” “Like I said he didn’t even like the idea and when he tried it he really didn’t like the feeling. While Gus's growing up faster than I want him to he isn’t growing up too fast either. He does look gorgeous though; he and Johanna made a beautiful couple. We took pictures of them at Marie’s house when we picked them up so they haven’t been printed yet. I’ll send copies when I get them printed tomorrow.” “Enough chit chat, what does Gus want that the four of us have to discuss?” “Welcome back Brian. I knew you wouldn’t stay mushy for too long a period of time.” “Thanks for noticing Mel.” “Put that tongue back in your mouth, I don’t find it attractive at all.” “We have to discuss the idea of Gus moving in with you two this summer.” “What the fuck?” “What do you mean Lindsay?” “It’s simple; Gus told us that he has to move in with you and Brian this summer so that he can go to Chief Joseph High in the fall. The Pittsburgh Schools have changed the attendance zones and this house is now in the Sitting Bull zone and Gus doesn’t want to go there. That's what he told us anyway.” “Don’t you believe him?” “I believe that he wants to move in with you guys. I just don’t know if going to one High School instead of another one is the real reason. We know Gus and his plans, if he's trying to protect one or more of us he certainly would try to run a plan to do so.” “What other reason could he have? As much as I would love to have him live with us he has to know that we would never agree if you two don‘t go along.” “There could be a number of reasons. Maybe he’s tired of living with lesbians who don’t hide their sexual behavior from him all of the time. Maybe people make fun of him because of Mel and me. Maybe he has begun to question his sexuality after all and wants to live with you two to make sure he really is straight or to learn how to live his life if he's gay. There could be a lot of other things as well. He could think that he's saving us from pain if he wants to leave because of something we have done or people think about us. Just wanting to go to one High School just doesn’t seem like Gus.” “Why does there have to be some deep dark reason? Gus is a reasonable boy, if there were something really bothering him he would have said something to one of us. Maybe he does just want to go to Chief Joseph instead of Sitting Bull. All of his friends will be going to Chief Joseph so it makes sense that he would want to go there as well.” “While you have a point Justin it can’t be that simple. Gus isn’t that shallow, he has to be thinking that he is protecting someone.” “Lindsay's right there has to be some better reason for Sonnyboy to want to change where he lives. He would know that it will hurt his mothers for him to move in with us so there has to be a bigger hurt that he's trying to save them from. We have to get across to him that he can’t run these plans all of the time, one of them is going to blow up in his face and then he really will feel pain.” “I still think you guys are getting carried away. The question is whether we allow him to change his official residence so that he can go to Chief Joseph no matter what his real reason is for doing it.” “Mel and I talked about it and we decided that if you two are willing to take him in we’ll let him move. Remember that if he is spending most nights at your house your sex life will be affected.” “Like that is going to affect my decision. We have had an active sex life even when he spends the night; we just wait until he's asleep. So of course Gus can move in with us. That’s ok with you isn’t it Sunshine?” “No it isn’t.” “What the fuck do you mean?” “What?” “Justin you don’t mean that do you?” “Of course I don’t mean it. He can move in tonight as far as I’m concerned. But guys I would suggest that you don’t try to find out if he's running a plan or not. Just take his reason for this residence change at face value.” “We’re agreed then. Gus'll move in with Justin and me this summer. I’ll make the arrangements with the school so that he can attend Chief Joseph.” “Everything will stay the same except Gus'll spend most of his nights with you guys instead of with us. His legal residence will be 7600 Rivendell Road, that's the only thing that's changing.” “Yes Mel that's the only thing that's changing. You do realize that before we know it he'll be going off to college somewhere. Knowing Gus, even if he enrolls in one of the schools here in Pittsburgh he'll want to live in the dorms so that he can get the full college experience.” “Brian we know that he's growing up too fast. Let’s just live life as it goes by and not worry too much about the future.” “Gus you're home early, did something happen? Are you feeling ok? Gus what's the matter?” “Gus answer your mother.” “I’m ok I just got tired and came home early.” “Gus we’ve decided that it's ok with all of us if you move in with Justin and me this summer so that you can attend Chief Joseph High this fall.” “Thanks everyone, I really want to go to CJHS with my friends. Uncle Justin I need to talk to you in private.” “Ok Gus let’s go to your room.” *** Rick’s Ice Cream Shoppe 9:30 PM “There’s an open booth guys.” “Johanna there's plenty of room you don’t have to sit on top of me.” “Quit kidding Gus I’m not sitting on you.” “Well you could’ve fooled me.” “Boy that was a fun night. Who knew that the oldies could be so good?” “Yeah those 90s songs were a lot better than I expected.” “Gus aren’t you going to kiss me even once. I mean if Lance is brave enough to kiss Marie shouldn’t you be brave too. I won’t bite, at least not too hard.” “Johanna you're such a kidder.” “Well I guess I'll have to take the bull by the horns.” “Gus, Johanna come up for a breath.” “Johanna why did you do that?” “What kiss you? I decided that you weren’t going to kiss me so I kissed you and Gus you’re a good kisser and you taste pretty good too.” “No I meant the other.” “Why're you two whispering? Are you making plans to run away and elope?” “Lance you're so not funny.” “Johanna why did you put your hands where you put your hands?” “Well Gus everyone at school knows that you're the oldest boy in our class. Everyone knows that you're the best looking boy in our class. You aren’t the tallest boy in the class since Lawrence Henry is 3 inches taller than you. I was just seeing if the rumors in the girls locker room are true.” “What rumors?” “You guys are still whispering, what's so secret that you don’t want us to hear?” “What rumors?” “That you have the biggest dick in our class. I was just feeling to see if it's true.” “You did what? You touched me just to find out how big I am. Johanna I didn’t know you were that kind of girl. I’m not that kind of boy. I thought we were having a good time and you had to spoil it.” “Gus I didn’t mean anything, I though all boys liked having their dick fondled. From what I could feel you really do have a big dick.” “I have to go. Marie tell your mother that I had to leave early and that I'll be ok getting home. Here's the money for my order. I’ll see you all at school Monday. Good night Lance, Good bye Marie.” “Gus wait I’ll go with you.” “No Lance you stay with Marie and have a good time. I’m just very tired all of a sudden.” *** Gus’s bedroom “Ok Gus what's the problem? Why did you walk here instead of waiting for Mrs. Hendricks to give you a ride? Why do you want to talk to me in private? What's the matter Gus? Why do you look like you're about to burst into tears?” “Uncle Justin do you remember what we talked about this afternoon?” “Gus you didn’t? Tell me you didn’t do exactly what I told you not to do? Tell me you were at least careful?” “I didn’t plan on doing anything. You have to believe me Uncle Justin.” “Your dad is going to freak. Gus I told you to keep your dick in your pants. You said you weren’t going to have sex. You said you were smart enough to use a condom.” “I know what I said Uncle Justin, but things just happened.” “The odds are that you won’t be a father. Oh my god your Dad will freak if he finds out his Sonnyboy had unprotected sex. Gus do you have any idea how poorly he's going to handle being a grandfather?” “But you'll handle it well won’t you Uncle Justin?” “Now's not the time to joke with me young man. I told you to keep your dick in your pants. Why didn’t you listen to me? What's done is done I suppose. We just have to hope that she didn’t get pregnant.” “Uncle Justin I did keep my dick in my pants. That's the problem I need to solve.” “What're you saying Gus?” “I’m saying I’m glad that I did wear my underwear under these pants Dad bought because if I hadn’t then I would have ruined them.” “Gus you're losing me. Did you or didn’t you have sex with Johanna?” “I didn’t have sex with Johanna, though I think that, technically, she had sex with me.” “Gus what the hell are you talking about? You either did or you didn’t have sex. What happened and tell me the truth. No matter what happened your Dad and I and your mothers will support you.” “Uncle Justin, I never had my dick out of my pants but when Johanna groped me at the Ice Cream Shoppe I filled my shorts so if I hadn’t worn them I would have ruined these beautiful charcoal pants and Dad would have been very disappointed in me. How do I clean up the mess inside my shorts, it's getting very uncomfortable.” “Just take a shower wearing your shorts; after they're good and wet you can take them off and then finish your shower. She groped you, what do you mean?” “Well she was trying to sit on top of me in the booth then she started kissing me and while she was doing that her hands started fondling my dick. I got so hard it hurt and then I shot the biggest load of my life so fast I almost passed out. Is that normal reaction to some one else touching your dick Uncle Justin?” “Yes Gus it is. I remember the first time your Dad and I - - - I don’t suppose you want to hear about that.” I asked her what she thought she was doing. She told me she was checking to see it the rumors were true.” “What rumors?” “That I have the biggest dick at Crazy Horse Junior High School.” “Well do you?“ “UNCLE JUSTIN!” “Sorry Gus I couldn’t resist. Why did you imply that you had sex after everything I told you this afternoon?” “Uncle Justin did you really think I was going to let you get away with embarrassing me so much this afternoon?” “Augustus Brian I’m going to give you a three second head start. 1, 2, 3 YOU LITTLE SCAMP WAIT TILL I CATCH YOU.” *** If Brian, Melanie, or Lindsay were surprised to see Justin chasing Gus through the living room while both were giggling like maniacs an outside observer wouldn’t have been able to tell.
