May as Well
A.K. Wellton
This was one of the weirdest conversations I have ever had. My parents are ultra liberal and support many off beat causes and ideas. I thought I was in some sort of trouble but didn't have any idea what.
I could see that dad had something on his mind. "You know Kyle Williams?" "Yeah, why? He is cool."
"Are you guys friend?"
"We don't hang out but I have classes with him. I know you work with his dad." Our fathers have known each other for many years.
"What do you know about him?" Dad asked. I still could not figure what dad was getting at.
"Not much really. He is smart and one of the best athletes in school."
"Why do you want to know?" I could see Dad was going to spring something.
"We are going to a cabin this weekend and get it ready for the summer. It is the Williams' cabin. There is stuff you and Kyle could do."
"Like what? I didn't get the question.
The truth is, I knew the stories that Kyle might be kind of gay. That was fine with me. The truth is I check out guys myself but have not thought of anything more.
School was out that Friday so off to the cabin we went. There was Kyle in short short light green running shorts and an old ripped up T shirt. I could not help it. Kyle's legs were tan and smooth. His abs had nice ripples. There was a sapphire is his ear. He was a turn on and caused me to get an instant boner. We were given our work assignments and went at it. It was an hour or so when dad's cell phone went off. Dad and Mr. Williams took off leaving Kyle and me alone. We had plenty of work to do.
"The heavy stuff is all done.Lighten up a bit." Kyle smiled as the last tree limbs were loaded into the pickup. Kyle went into the cabin. I was taking a breather. Kyle returned with a beer and the shortest pair of cut-offs I had ever seen, even on girls.
"Here." He gave me the beer and the cut-offs. What got to me was,very skimpy briefs were rapped in the shorts. "Get out of that work stuff and lighten up."
I took the beer and just stood there looking at the shorts. " You need to get changed" Kyle ordered.
I had my doubts but went inside and put the stuff on There was not much leg left so my buns sort of showed. I felt silly. When I went back out, Kyle checked me out them slapped my butt. I didn't said anything just went on with the clean up chores. It was getting dark and our dads were still gone. We clean up a bit then grilled some steaks, drank some more beer and just chatted.
It was later, after a small pyramid of beer cans, the bunk beds sure looked good. I felt shivers all over as Kyle checked out my crotch with his hands.
"Nice boner. " he smiled.
"Yours too."I stammered.
Kyle then put his hands on my shoulders. Our bodies rubbed together then he kissed me. Wow, that shook me up. I took the top bunk. I just laid there awhile thinking about that kiss. This was the first time I had gotten a real kiss from another guy.
Kyle was making a breakfast when I woke up. The sun light outlined the form of a perfect male. I had seen Kyle nude before. This was a whole new light. Now , I was really checking out a guy and having thoughts and feeling that never had entered my mind before. There was no way I could understand it.
Kyle was a fine cook I ate more breakfast than ever before. Kyle put sandals on then went outside still nude. Being nude was a bit too much for me. I had the skimpy briefs and work boots. This made Kyle laugh. Off came the briefs.
"I don't get to be this way much." Kyle said. "What about you?"
"Never go around naked." I replyed.
"Shy?" Kyle joked. "You'll get over it."
"What if our parents show up? What if someone sees us?" I was nervous.
"No big deal. They will get over it." Kyle was unconcerned then kissed me again.
The cabin and grounds were looking pretty good by mid afternoon. We were grimy from the dust and the tanning oil smeared all over us. The cabin had a small out building with a solar shower. Kyle gave me hell because I used most of the warm water. My skin was a bit warm so I got on a T shirt then other briefs Kyle gave me.
The last day we had all to ourselves. We hiked around some near by rocks. After it warmed up, we swam in a beaver damn. In the water and on the grass we played with each other and teased each other. It all felt good. As the sun set, more steaks were grilled and another beer can pyramid was built. Sitting on a bench close to each other we talked and joked. We talked about parents, school, sports, friends, ourselves,all kinds of stuff even girls.
"You know," Kyle paused, "I am gay."
I couldn't think of much to say, Finally I said, " Your parents know?"
"Yeah, I just couldn't hide it anymore and just told them." "What happened?"
"They took is pretty cool. As for me, well tons and tons of weight just went way."
We sat there for a while. Then Kyle asked, what about you? I know you get a hard-on sometimes."
"I don't know man, I just don't know." I said.
My dad came back late Sunday afternoon to take us home. He looked at the slight sun burn on my upper legs but said nothing. Kyle's and my work passed inspection and back to town we went. I stayed in the cut-offs the whole time. I was feeling ok in them by now. My mother said I looked cute. Later I found that my mother had cut some of my old jeans the same way.
Kyle and I talked on the phone and chatted on line for the next two weeks. Then the message came.
"I have something to ask you." was Kyle's message. "I need to ask you face to face."
Now what? I had no idea but figured it had something to do with that kiss. It did. After school, when no one was around, Kyle asked me to go with him to a prom dance, a gay dance. It took awhile for me to get home. I had some thinking to do.
"Your late, where have you been?" my mother wanted to know.
"You and Kyle been talking?" dad asked. I am sure he knew what was up.
"Yeah." I answered. "Kyle wants me to go to a dance with him." I may as well say it and get it over with.
"You going?" dad asked
"It's a gay dance." I blurted.
"Well, you going?"
"Then everybody will think I am queer." I said.
"We are fine with that. You can be whatever you want to be. It is all your choice. You must be comfortable with yourself." My mother said in a calm voice. I could not believe my ears.
A few days went by. I did a lot of thinking, should I go or not and what if the word got out. The dance would be in another town and there would not be anybody there that would know me. Kyle asked me again and I just said yes.
It was arranged for us to have light blue tux coats, and light blue shorts. Each of us had a rose in the lapel. Horror of horrors, there was another sports guy there and two girls that knew me. The dance was great and I did have a good time.
Today, I have several gay pride T shirts and switched from boxers to briefs and wear the cut-offs sometimes. There wear more weekends at the cabin, just Kyle and me. Kyle and I have kissed many more times even in public.
