Kyle
I prayed the entire drive back to Brighton that Colby felt the same way about me as I felt about him. My heart raced when he sent me the text to tell him when I got home, that at least gave me some hope that he cared about me. Once I got home, I sent a simple text to let him know I was home and thanked him for talking to me. It took all my will power to not call him right then, but I knew he was working. I promised him I would give him all the time he needed, I would let him call me when he was ready.
I tossed and turned for a few hours and woke up early. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep, so I took a shower and headed to the shop. I was able to get a bunch of paperwork done before Luke showed up.
He smiled as he walked into the office, he asked, “how long have you been here, your desk is all cleared off.”
I shrugged, “I couldn’t sleep, so I came in a little early.”
The rest of the guys arrived so we gave them their instructions for the day. Luke and I went back into the office, I checked my email.
Luke asked, “so did you do anything exciting over the weekend?”
I was still staring at my screen, “no, not really.”
He said, “I heard you went on a rampage and killed 6 people.”
I nodded, “yeah, I guess I did, but not too much else.”
He laughed, “for Christ’s sake Kyle, what the hell is wrong with you?”
My eyes were still locked on my screen, “I don’t know, maybe next week.”
Luke walked to my desk and turned my head to face him, “what is wrong with you?”
I came back to reality, “I’m sorry, what did you say?”
He said, “I was asking you about your weekend, but you have been staring at that email for half an hour. What’s going on?”
I took a deep breath, “I went home this weekend.”
Luke said, “ok, so how are your folks?”
I shook my head, “I don’t know, I didn’t see them.”
He asked, “so why did you go home?”
I said, “I went to have a long talk with Colby.”
He smiled, “that’s great, you guys are getting along now. It’s about time.”
I sighed, “how did you know that Olivia was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with?”
He gave me a confused look, “I guess I felt a spark the first time I saw her, but a few months later I realized that I wasn’t looking at anyone else, to see if there was something better. I started to make decisions based on how it would affect us both instead of just me. I wanted to do little things for her, and she was doing those little things for me. What does this have to do with you going to see Colby?”
I ran my hands through my hair, “I think I have the same feelings you have for Olivia, for Colby.”
Luke stared at me, trying to understand what I just said, he asked, “when did all of this start.”
I said, “when I went home for Christmas, I went to the bar and got drunk, Colby helped me after I got sick all over myself. I kissed him and he sort of took things further. I went back to his place a couple of days later, when I was sober and we…”
He interrupted, “ok, so you were drunk, you didn’t know what you were doing.”
I shook my head, “I wasn’t drunk the second time. I wanted to talk to him so that’s why I went to see him this weekend. I spent the night with him.”
Luke asked, “are you saying that you are in love with Colby?”
I shrugged, “I have no idea, I just know I have never felt like this about anyone else before.”
He asked, “what about Paige?”
I said, “Paige and I have already had a long talk about this, she was the one that told me to go talk to Colby. She reconnected with an old friend over Christmas, they were getting together this weekend too.”
Luke sat back in his chair, “damn, I don’t know what to say Kyle.”
I sighed, “this is all new to me too, but when I was with Colby this weekend, it felt so right.”
He asked, “does Colby feel the same about you?”
I shrugged, “he wanted some time to think about it, he is still thinking about Gavin. He is going to call me when he works everything out.”
Luke said, “you’re my best friend, if you and Colby are happy, then I am happy for you. I just have to figure out I am going to tell Olivia about this.”
It was a relief to have this off my chest, I knew Luke would be supportive. Now I just had to wait for Colby to call me. God, I hope he wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with him.
Two agonizing days later, my phone rang. My heart jumped out of my chest when I saw the call was from Colby.
I answered, “hey.”
Colby said, “hey Kyle, is this a good time to talk?”
I said, “of course.”
He asked, “how is your week going?”
I answered, “it’s going well, how about yours?”
He said, “it’s good too, tonight is my first night off, so I thought I should give you call.”
I said, “I’m glad you did. Do you have any thoughts about what we talked about last weekend?”
He chuckled, “it’s all I could think about.”
I sighed, “I know, I’m sorry. I laid a lot on you. I know you have a lot to work through and I promise I will not put any pressure on you.”
Colby said, “I appreciate that. Can I ask you a question?”
I said, “of course, you can ask me anything.”
He asked, “are you saying you want to have a romantic relationship with me?”
I paused as I searched for the right words. I took a deep breath, “I am, but if that is not something you want with me, I will respect that. I realized it may be too soon for you.”
Colby was quiet for few seconds, he said, “if you would have asked me this a month ago, I would have laughed in your face.”
I felt my stomach flip, not sure I wanted to hear what else he had to say.
He continued, “I took a long look at my myself and I how I thought about you. I have always thought that we just tolerated each other for Gavin’s sake, nothing more. But that night that you got sick all over me, I don’t think that I would have helped you clean up if I didn’t at least like you. Honestly, the only other person I could see myself helping like that, would have been Gavin.”
I exhaled, “thank you for helping me that night.”
He chuckled, “you’re welcome.”
I asked, “so are you saying you might want to try being in a relationship with me?”
Colby paused again, “are you sure you want to be in a relationship with another man?”
I thought, that’s a fair question. I said, “I just know that I have never felt like this about anyone else in my life, man or woman. I know you are the first man that I have been with, but it was so natural. I really would like to see where this goes, that is, if you want to.”
I heard Colby sigh, “if you promise to take things slow, I think I would like to see where this goes too.”
My heart was beating out of my chest, I said, “I have already promised you that I would, if you feel like I am pushing too hard, just tell me to back off.”
Colby chuckled, “thanks, I will. So, what do we do now?”
I said, “you can call me any time you want, and when you are ready, let me know and I can come home for the weekend.”
We talked for about another hour, mostly just about our jobs and life in general. It was nice having Colby to talk to, even if it was just over the phone.
Colby
I pulled into the cemetery and parked my Ranger. I grabbed the flowers that I had just picked up and walked to Gavin’s grave. I placed the flowers down as a tear ran down my cheek. I took a deep breath and had a long talk with Gavin. I told him everything that had happened between Kyle and I, I guess I was hoping for a sign from Gavin that he was ok with this. It wasn’t a flash of lightning or anything like that, but by the time I left, I had a calm, warm feeling. It was as if Gavin had given us his blessing. He always told me to move on and find someone after he was gone, I don’t think either of us would have guessed it would be with Kyle, but here we are.
As I searched deep in my soul, I knew that I would not have cleaned the puke off of anyone that I didn’t care about. When Kyle came to my house after the funeral and saw what a mess I was, it really bothered me. Him feeling like he had to buy my that battery didn’t help. I know I didn’t care what anyone thought about my life, but I did care about what Kyle thought about me. Damn it, I guess I did have feelings for him.
I called Kyle the first night I had off from work, I could hear the sincerity in his voice. I could also see it in his face when he was home last weekend. After we agreed to give things a try, we had a nice talk about nothing in general. It was like a lot of the talks that Gavin and I had had. I knew Kyle was going to honor his promise to let me set the pace when he told me to let him know when I wanted him to come home next. Secretly, I would have loved to tell him to come the very next weekend, but since he was just home, I thought it would be best to wait a bit.
I was relieved when I got a call from Carla a week later, she wanted the family to go out for her 50th birthday, she told me she would be calling Kyle after she hung up from me. I waited for five minutes, and I got a call from Kyle.
I answered, “hey, did Carla call you?”
He said, “yeah, do you want me to come home? I just told her that I would try, I wasn’t sure what my schedule was going to be like.”
I said, “I want you to come, if you want to.”
Kyle said, “I want to. I think I could come on Friday, if you want me to stay with you. If you don’t, I will come on Saturday and stay with my folks.”
My mind raced, I said, “you can stay here, if you want.”
I could hear the smile on his face, he said, “of course I want to stay with you. I will just tell mom that I will be home Saturday. I guess we need to talk about when and how we are going to tell the family about us.”
I suddenly panicked, Kyle was right, telling the family was something we needed to address.
I said, “yeah, we should discuss that. I have to work Friday night, so you could stop by the bar, or I could leave the side door unlocked for you.”
Kyle said, “I’ll stop by the bar, and I promise I will stay away from the tequila.”
I laughed, “ok, I’ll see you then.”
I told Leah what was going on between Kyle and me. She would have figured it out sooner or later anyway, she had already asked me why I was in such a good mood this past week. I was so nervous as Friday approached, not because Kyle was coming, I was actually excited about that. I was more concerned with what and when we were going to tell the rest of the family. I suppose that will be the first thing Kyle and I will have to work out.
Kyle had told me he would try to leave by noon, so he would be here between 9 and 10. The butterflies in my stomach fluttered every time the door opened. Jesus why was I acting like I was meeting a blind date or something. I had never been on a date with anyone but Gavin, and it’s not like I didn’t already know Kyle. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him walk in the door, he smiled back as he walked to the bar.
I handed him a beer as he sat down, I asked, “hey, how was your drive?”
He said, “long, just like every other time I drove it.” He took a big swig of his beer.
I said, “I’m sure Carla will appreciate you being here.”
Kyle smiled, “I know she does, but I was just as glad to come so I could see you.”
I returned his smile, “I appreciate it too.”
I left to wait on another customer and returned as Kyle was finishing his beer, I asked, “would you like another?”
He shook his head, “no thanks, I think I will switch to water, I don’t want to throw up all your lawn again.”
I laughed, “sounds like a good idea.”
Kyle waited at the bar while I finished my shift, Leah told me to leave, she would take care of the clean-up. She said she would need me to cover for her one night next week. Kyle followed me back to my house and parked behind me in my driveway.
As we walked in, I said, “make yourself at home, can I get you another water?”
He smiled, “sure, if I can use the bathroom, I need to make a little room first.”
I nodded, “you know where it is, help yourself.”
I sat down on the couch and placed the two bottles of water on the table as Kyle walked back into the room. He sat beside me.
He took a deep breath, “can I give you a kiss?”
I chuckled, Kyle sure is taking his promise not to pressure me seriously, I said, “I would like that.”
Kyle leaned over and our lips met, I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him on top of me. Our tongues danced for at least ten minutes, neither of us wanted it to end. I felt my cock begin to harden, and if I wasn’t mistaken, Kyle’s cock was responding in a similar fashion. I couldn’t take it any longer, I admit, ever since Kyle said he was coming home, I wanted this to happen. We had talked almost every day for the last two weeks, I was in the mood for something other than talking.
I broke our kiss and panted, “would you like to go to the bedroom?”
Kyle swallowed hard, “hell yes!”
We shed our clothes as we ran down the hall and were both naked by the time we made it to the bed. We resumed our make out session, our now unconstrained cocks rubbing against each other. We were smearing our precum all over each other. I ran my hands all over Kyle’s tight body, he was a bit more muscular than Gavin, especially since he got sick. Kyle had a little more body hair too, God it was sexy. The one trait that Gavin and Kyle shared was those damn eyes, shit, I could get lost in those eyes. I reluctantly broke our kiss, but I knew something better was waiting for me as I worked my way down Kyle’s chest and stomach. Yes, there it was, that perfect cock, another trait that Gavin and Kyle shared. A beautiful shaped and proportioned dick that was a perfect fit for both my mouth and my ass. Not to mention two suckable nuts that also were a nice mouthful. I licked the dab of precum that had formed on the mushroom head as Kyle moaned. I took him deep, his nuts were against my chin and my nose was in his pubs, it was pure heaven. After another groan, Kyle grabbed my leg to pull me around so he could return the favor. We looked like the ying/yang symbol as we fed on each other’s love sticks. I decided to push Kyle’s boundaries a bit, we had not been together long enough for me to know if he would let me play with his ass. I ran a finger along the fuzz covered crack, much to my surprise and delight, Kyle sighed and spread his legs slightly. I pushed further and grazed his warm, moist pucker causing him to spread his legs even further. I let his cock fall from my mouth and pulled his cheeks apart and darted my tongue into his hole. Kyle gasped an, “oh fuck”, I took that as permission to go further. I pushed him onto his back and his legs into the air and really went to work. Kyle grabbed his ankles as his head thrashed back and forth, while my tongue worked its magic and pushed inside Kyle’s love chute. I had his hole covered in spit and slobber, Kyle took a deep breath and panted, “I think I want you inside me.” I wasn’t going to give him time to change his mind, I quickly took my position and slowly began to push my engorged manhood in the tight sheath Kyle was providing. I stared into those beautiful eyes, waiting for them to give the sign to continue until I was balls deep. Those eyes rolled back, and I knew I had hit my target. I leaned forward and we kissed as I started to piston in and out. Kyle reached back and grabbed my ass to quicken the pace, I know he left his handprints on each of my cheeks. I felt my nuts tighten as my juices were starting to rise. Before I could warn Kyle, he pulled me in tight and I let my cum fly, filling his tunnel to the brim. I gave Kyle one last kiss as I eased my cock out of his hole. I quickly took his cock into my mouth, I wanted to taste his baby makers again. I massaged his nuts as I sucked with all my might. A second later my taste buds were flooded with Kyle’s sweet juices. Once his spasms stopped, I kept his seed in my mouth and gave his a cum-filled kiss.
When we broke our kiss, Kyle smiled, “wow, I wasn’t expecting that.”
I asked, “wanting to get fucked, or a mouth full of cum?”
He chuckled, “both.”
I laughed, “did you like it?”
He nodded, “yeah, I did. It was incredible.”
We cleaned up a bit and crawled under the covers, holding each other. God, I missed sleeping in another man’s arms so much, I hope Kyle was liking this as much as I am, and that Gavin was happy for us.
I woke up to Kyle kissing the back of my neck, I smiled as I turned my head to give him a proper kiss.
I asked, “how did you sleep?”
He said, “like a baby, how about you?”
I gave him another kiss, “very well thanks, would you like some breakfast?”
Kyle smiled, “sure.”
We pulled on our underwear and went to the kitchen and started cooking. As we cooked and ate, we talked about what was happening between us. Kyle assured me that he had no regrets and still wanted to see where things went with us. I felt the same way and again, I felt that warm feeling that Gavin was ok with this too.
We spent the rest of the day talking, trying to decide when would be the best time to tell the family about us. We both agreed it was still a bit too soon. Kyle told his parents that he would be home between 4 and 5 that afternoon. At about 3 we decided to take a shower, stop and see Gavin, then go to Kyle folk’s house, we would leave for dinner from there. Kyle texted Carla to tell her he was picking me up, she thought that was a good idea.
Our shower took a little longer than it probably should have, but by a little after 4 we were headed to the cemetery. Kyle pulled into a convenience store just before we got to the cemetery entrance.
I asked, “what did you need?”
He said, "I’ll be right back.”
He returned a few minutes later with a bag and we walked to Gavin’s grave. Kyle reached in the bag and pulled out three RCs, handing me one, placing one on Gavin’s head stone and keeping one for himself. He did the same with the M&Ms. I smiled as we stood there having our snack, honored that Kyle would include me in what was his special time with Gavin.
When we got back in Kyle’s truck, I said, ‘thank you for including me.”
He took my hand, “I should have included you years ago.”
We had composed ourselves by the time we pulled into Cal and Donna’s driveway, Steph and Rob were already there, so was Carla.
We wished her a Happy Birthday and we said our hellos to everyone else exchanging hugs.
Kyle gave Steph her hug, “hey sis, how are you?”
She smiled, “good little bro.” They broke their hug, she chuckled, “wow, you smell like the body wash that Gavin used to use.”
Kyle blushed as he looked at me.
