Brother's Mate
Chapter 19
When they had finished clearing the things from the meal away the three boys nervously followed Bradley's father, Colin, into the lounge knowing that they were going to have to face whatever he said. Colin moved over to his favourite chair and sat down in it while the three teens remained standing.
"Sit down boys; you don't need to make the place look untidy by standing around so nervously. In fact you've got nothing to be nervous about." Colin said. The three moved as one to the sofa and sat down at the same time almost as if it had been rehearsed. Alexander making sure he was in the middle to be protected and supported by the two older ones. As soon as they were seated Colin continued, "Bradley, your mother tells me, and I'm inclined to agree that the reason young Alexander's now being included in a home visit is that you and he are possibly more than just friends. Are we right?"
Bradley stayed silent for a bit and his father gave him the time to answer, "Yes dad." He couldn't think of anything else to add.
"Thank you for being honest. I know that was not easy. Do you think you're gay, or do you think this might just be an experimenting stage?" Colin asked again.
Bradley gave a little groan and Alexander reached over and put a hand on his leg in support. "I'm fairly sure that I'm gay dad." Bradley confirmed.
"And what about you Alexander? Do you know what you are?" Colin asked gently.
"I think I'm mostly gay." Alexander answered.
"That's taken some courage for both of you. Bradley your mother and I love you very much and while we had hoped for some grandchildren sometime, this will not change how we love you. We'll also support you and your friends as much as we're able. All we ask is that you be careful. There are some people out there in the world who do not accept gay people and they can be very cruel in many different ways. Also any of you can come and ask us questions. If we can answer them we will. Callum, are you also gay?" Colin asked.
"Yes, I'm. Thank you for accepting us." Callum replied.
"There's nothing to thank us for. Bradley's made us so proud of him and we've trusted his choice in friends for a long time. We've also expected this for some time, and Angela and I have talked about it at length which is how I've been able to speak for both of us tonight. Although I must admit that we did think that it would be either you or Dominic that Bradley brought home to introduce to us as his boyfriend. You all are still very welcome to come into our home." Colin said.
"Thank you." Callum responded.
"There's one other thing." Colin began, "All of you boys are not of the legal age to consent to sex. However, we're not going to ask you to stop it as we know that will not happen. What we are going to ask is that you make sure you don't do anything of an intimate nature where you could be seen by others. Okay?"
"Yes dad, we're not planning on even outing ourselves at school so will have to look straight there." Bradley answered for them.
"Bradley, your mum has stayed out of the lounge for this discussion because she felt it would make it easier for you and less embarrassing. But I think now you need to go and let her know she was right." Colin said.
"I think she knows that already, but I'll go and make it official." Bradley said, "You want to come and meet your boyfriend's mother?" he asked looking at Alexander.
"Do you want me to?" Alexander asked.
"Yeah, I think she'd like to give you a hug." Bradley said.
The two boys left the room in search of Angela. While they were out of the room Colin turned to Callum, "I meant what I said. We're happy to have you visit in our home and sleep over here from time to time. Having our suspicions confirmed will not change how we feel about you. When did your brother link up with Bradley? Or would you rather I ask them that?"
"Bradley insisted that as we were having a sleepover in the new family tent we had to include Al in the sleepover. I think Bradley already had a soft spot for him but it was at the sleepover that he found he had more than just a soft spot." Callum said smiling.
When Bradley and Alexander returned to the lounge both Colin and Callum chuckled and then Colin said, "I see that Bradley was only partly right." Bradley and Alexander looked a bit confused so he told Bradley, "Look at Alexander's cheek."
Bradley turned Alexander to look at his face and then looked at the cheek that had been away from him to see the imprint of his mother's lips in her lipstick. "Oh dear, mum's put her mark on you." He said smiling and then led Alexander over to the mirror that was over the mantelpiece.
Alexander blushed but then smiled and looked adoringly at Bradley. "You've got nice parents, but I don't know if I can keep cleaning myself all the time."
Colin burst out laughing and then said, "You're going to be okay young Alexander, quite okay."
Bradley took Alexander off to the bathroom to help him get his cheek clean and when they returned Colin said he should run the boys home, asking Bradley if he wanted to come along for the ride; an offer that had little chance of being declined.
Callum had the pleasure of riding shotgun with Colin, while Bradley and Alexander sat close together and held hands for the short journey to their home. When they arrived, Colin asked if Callum thought his parent's would be able to see him for a bit to which Callum replied that he thought they would. The four of them left the car and walked to the front door with Callum using his key to open it. He ushered Colin and Bradley in and then went in search of his parents. He did not need to introduce Colin to them as they had met in the past either delivering or collecting the boys from each other's homes. Leaving Colin with John and Rose, the three boys went to the kitchen in search of something to drink.
They heard Colin as he talked with John and Rose, "I understand that you're already aware of the boy's sexuality. We suspected it of Bradley but he's confirmed it to us tonight as have your two boys. I just wanted to tell you that we'll love and support them as much as we're able and they're all still welcome in our home. Also thank you for giving Bradley that same assurance; it means a lot to Angela and myself knowing that Bradley has a safe haven here as well as our own home."
"And we appreciate you two accepting our sons and making them comfortable. I think that we'll need to get together a bit more to get to know each other better. Perhaps we could have a BBQ sometime soon." John suggested.
"I think that would be great. Let me get back and check with Angela and we'll ring you with some available dates. I do think we need to be able to support each other as well as our children." Colin said.
"That would be nice. I could do with some more female support here and I'm sure Angela probably feels the same." Rose said.
They grew quiet for a few moments which gave them the opportunity to hear a little of what the boys were saying in the kitchen.
"I'm glad our parents know about us. I don't like keeping secrets. When I heard you guys talking and I didn't know what to do but had to keep it to myself that was very hard. At least now we know we can talk about it with all of us." Alexander said.
"Yes it's nice. I don't think Dominic can talk to his parents the same as we can. Maybe that's why he struggles a bit more than us." Bradley said.
"Well that answers that question." Colin said.
"Yes it does." John agreed even though he already knew.
The parents talked for a little while longer and then Colin called Bradley saying that they had better be getting back home to his mother. A few minutes later they left and the four Ashbournes sat down together in the lounge. Alexander left them after a short time and went for his shower. When he re-joined them in the lounge he had not bothered to put any clothes on. His mother looked across at him and smiled.
"Well I didn't see any point as I'll be going to bed soon and would only have to take them off again." He said in reply to her smile with a mischievous smile of his own. Callum and John both shook their heads, also smiling. Alexander sat there without flaunting himself but did manage to blush when a scene on the television caused him to swell up a bit and Callum leant over and whispered in his ear that he might want to leave the room. However, instead of leaving he just put his hands in his lap to hide it until it got soft again.
Callum wished his parents goodnight before going to have his shower telling them that he would not come down again as there was some stuff he wanted to do in his room before he went to sleep. "Come and say goodnight to me when you come up Al." he asked his brother. Callum still wasn't totally sure about going around the house naked, but he did strip off in his room and walk naked to and from the bathroom, and then stayed naked while sitting at his desk tapping away at his lap-top. He answered a few emails and then tapped one out to Dominic asking him how his talk with his brother had gone. After that he began to surf the web looking at a variety of different things. He was still doing that when Alexander knocked and walked in before Callum could respond. "Why did you knock if you weren't going to wait for me to say it was okay to come in?" Callum asked, but his tone showed that he was not upset about it.
"Habit I think." Alexander replied.
"How'd you feel being the only one naked with us this afternoon?" Callum asked.
"No problem. I know I can trust you guys and I like being naked." Alexander answered.
"And what about when we were at Brad's house?"
"That was a bit scary, but then Colin said we had nothing to be nervous about and when he said that they already knew, I knew we would be okay. I think Brad was more scared than me." Alexander told his brother.
"Do you want to get some sucking practice in?"
"Can we minus thirty one?"
"Shit, I'd forgotten that code. Yeah, do you want to go side on or above and below?"
"Can you go above me?"
"Sure, get on the bed then." Callum stood up from his desk revealing that he was already well on the way to being ready to feed his cock into Alexander's mouth and Alexander showed that he was ahead of Callum.
Alexander sat at the foot of the bed with his knees bent over the edge and then just fell backwards giving Callum enough room to fit his legs in above Alexander's head. Callum placed his knees either side of Alexander's head and then shuffled backwards a little bit as he lowered his hips to make sure that his cock lined up with Alexander's mouth. Like Bradley he had to arch his back a bit to get his head lined up with Alexander's cock but they soon were tasting each other's precum. Over the relatively short time they had been sucking each other they had learnt a few things that helped each other to get some really good feelings in and both boys concentrated on pleasuring their brother instead of themselves. This attention to detail reduced their sucking time as they brought the other off more quickly with the heightened sensations they caused. When they had finished, Callum rolled to the side and lay with his head next to Alexander's hips and putting his hand under Alexander's leg he was able to continue to fondle Alexander's balls and keep his cock hard. Alexander did not take long to catch on and began to follow his brother's actions with similar ones of his own.
"I'm so glad I've got you as my little brother. There are some guys out there that wouldn't be nice little brothers and here I've got the best." Callum told Alexander.
"Maybe that's because I've got the best big brother who's also chosen some nice friends." Alexander responded.
"Yeah, we are quite good for each other, aren't we?" Callum agreed.
"Do you mind if I sleep here tonight?" Alexander asked.
"What, you mean you want to sleep in my bed with me?"
"Well maybe just right here. If I don't get into bed soon I'll be asleep right here." Alexander said.
"You're a real bloody tease aren't you?" Callum said chuckling. "Perhaps you'd better get off back to your room then or the folks might have something to say in the morning."
"Yeah, goodnight Cal, love you."
"I love you too." Callum responded.
The next morning when they were eating their breakfast Rose asked Alexander, "I know that you want to spend a lot of time with Bradley, but I think it's important not to forget your other friends. Do you want to ask David to come for a sleepover?"
"We were talking about that the other day. I'd like David and Bradley to meet each other so maybe he could come for the afternoon and then stay over and Bradley could come round to visit with Callum and the four of us can maybe go to the park or something." Alexander said.
"Okay, I'll phone his mum and see what we can work out." Rose said.
"Thanks mum. You're the best." Alexander said.
Rose managed to persuade David's mum to allow him to spend the Saturday and sleep over that night to return home on Sunday so that he could be sure to have enough time to get ready to start school again on the Monday. Rose did admit that it had taken a lot of persuading and had given some strong assurances that the two boys would not be left alone or allowed to go out and get into trouble. She told both Callum and Alexander that she felt sorry for David as he clearly was being controlled far more strictly than they were. She also warned them that they had better make sure David didn't get into any sort of trouble that would get back to his parents.
As soon as Alexander knew the arrangement had been made he got on the phone to Bradley and told him about it and how he wanted David to meet Bradley, but he wasn't too sure if they should reveal their relationship to David yet or not. Bradley agreed that it might be better to wait until they were sure that David could keep it secret before they told him. The plan was that Bradley would come round to visit with Callum and the two older boys would invite the two younger ones to go to the park with them.
On Friday Bradley came round for a more intimate visit and the three boys discussed some other plans to help introduce David to the knowledge that they were all gay. Once their plans had been agreed, Callum said he had made a plan to go and see Dominic. He had only done this to give Bradley and Alexander some time together with just the two of them. But he also was curious to find out how the talk had gone between Dominic and Ben.
Callum hadn't even got out of Alexander's bedroom before Bradley and Alexander were kissing and feeling each other. Both boys were naked and sucking each other before Callum got out of the house. After a first mad dash to cum in their sixty-nine the two boys half lay, half sat on Alexander's bed. Bradley pulled Alexander over so that Alexander was leaning with his back resting on Bradley's chest and his head nestled on Bradley's shoulder. Bradley had wrapped his arms around Alexander and squeezed him in a hug but slowly eased the pressure until he could move his arms and let his hands and fingers caress Alexander's body.
"I love the way your skin feels. So smooth and soft and yet the hard muscles are sitting just under it." Bradley said. His one hand found one of Alexander's nipples and he concentrated on tickling that for a while knowing that it was sending exciting messages to Alexander's cock. One of Bradley's hands slid down Alexander's chest and over his abdomen till a finger could lightly probe and then gently tap Alexander's belly button; again sending signals to his cock. Actually the signals were going to both their cocks but in a different way.
In the position Alexander was in his right forearm was lying between Bradley's partly splayed legs. By pushing his elbow out, Alexander was able to slide his hand up the inside of Bradley's thigh and cup his balls and throbbing cock. For the next half hour or more, the two boys gently fondled each other. Bradley having more freedom of movement was able cover more of Alexander's body and was using two hands, while Alexander could only reach with one hand and that in a limited area. But it didn't matter because they were in no real hurry to complete anything and were talking while enjoying each other's bodies. Bradley was doing more of the talking and Alexander was really just making responses of acknowledgement. Alexander was finding it difficult to do anything more because most of what Bradley was saying was praising and complimenting Alexander on just about everything about him from his lips and tongue to his cock and whole body. Also his intelligence, confidence and sense of humour came in for praise.
When Bradley's commendations eventually dwindled to silence Alexander said, "You haven't left me much to say in return that won't sound like I'm just saying what you've said about me to you. But I do know one thing. You're my brother's best friend and he chose very well and I love all of you from the hair on your head to the toe jam on your feet."
"Toe jam!" Bradley exclaimed, "I'll have you know that there's no toe jam between my toes. I wash them very well every day."
Alexander gave a little giggle and giving Bradley's balls a little squeeze he said, "At least I know you were listening to me."
"I'll always listen to you. Every word is precious even if some of it is a little cheeky."
"The only cheeky you get of me are these two and the other two." Alexander quickly responded tapping his cheeks.
"Okay, wise guy, let's take care of this." Bradley said shaking Alexander's leaking cock gently and he wrapped his fingers around it and began to pump it making sure the foreskin was sliding back and forth with each stroke.
