Ted was so silly two days before we were due to go down to my parents' home. Yep, it finally arrived! Sigh, it would be even better if he were to kiss me under the mistletoe, on Christmas morning of course. BLUSH I would have gone to paradise then, sooner than expected maybe, but definitely worth it. Anyway, back to Ted's antic that morning. He woke up, rushed into my bedroom--how rude was that :-) and told me that he could hardly wait to see my parents. Now, that was something else! If I were him, I would rather stay at home with my lover, just the two of us. How romantic! The point that I did not understand was his enthusiasm. I mean, what was there to be so excited about seeing my family for the first time? He was not going there and asked for my parents' approval to "marry" me, was he? Yeah, right! Pigs fly!! He was going there as a friend, nothing more, so stopped flapping your wings and got back down to earth, loverboy. Sigh, I knew that daydreaming would be useless, but it was where I could safely imagine him kissing me and stuff. You know?! Hehehe!
I woke up due to his inconsideration, but had to laugh when Isaw his eager look. Gosh, this guy was good looking even though he had just woken up, as apparent from his untidy mop of blond hair. Did he not know that he had just melted my anger at him for waking me up at this unGodly hour of...? Hmm, what time was it now? Sigh, I knew it!! It was only half past seven and I did not have to go to work, and here he was, "my lover," sitting right next to me on my bed. If he were really my lover, I would not hesitate kissing him senseless as a "punishment" for disturbing my beauty sleep. Hehehe! It would be remain a dream, I guess.
"What is there to be so excited about, Ted?" I mocked irritation while looking at him, beautiful eyes so blue, lips so sexy and kissable. "Stop that, dude! Or he will run away from you," I thought to myself.
"Well, it is my first time, Jeremy. Meeting your parents and relatives, spending Christmas with you...I am just so excited." He looked so sincere and eager that I was touched. Falling for a gorgeous guy was hard enough without him having to be so sweet and made my heart thumped louder than I ever thought possible. Sigh, a guy with a look to die for and a matching personality. Sure, he was not perfect in some ways, but he was more than good enough.
"Hmm, you sound like you are so desperate for me or something. Sigh, it is such an honor," I teased and before long he was tickling me all over.
"Say you are sorry, NOW," he exclaimed with the laughter apprent in his voice.
"Okay, "You are sorry." How is that?"
"Now, you ask for it. I will not stop tickling you till you apologize with more sincerity and the right way, of course," he was laughing louder now.
"Okay, okay. I am sorry, Sir!" He then stopped the "torture," but strange enough, I was kind of disappointed because I was hoping that we would maintain that little body contact. Sigh, was this LOVE? It was so bittersweet, a feeling that was different entirely to the one that I had for Anthony. I was feeling guilty because I had not thought of him at all these past few days since Ted came into my life and my heart, not to mention the various erotic dreams I had with him.
"So, my parents will meet us at your parents' home one day before Christmas eve. Have you packed the gifts and your luggage?" Ted asked me.
"Well, don't exaggerate, Ted. You know I will be bringing only some stuff over," I was feeling sort of annoyed because of the two big suitcases that I would be bringing. They contained the gifts and clothes for change. Actually, I realized that Ted was right. We were only going down for less than two weeks, so the suitcases seemed to be too much. Hehehe! WINK
"Hey, will you accompany me to the mall today? I need to buy gifts for your family"
"Ted, you don't have to, really. Just come and enjoy yourself. Mum had told me to refrain you from buying gifts. She is so overjoyed to know that you and your parents will be celebrating with us. Now that I think of it, I am jealous that she sounds happier than when I told her that I would be coming down alone," I pretended to look indignant and hurt.
"Hey, c'mon. Stop that routine of "I am so hurt." You know that you can't fool me."
"You are no fun," still a look of mocking annoyance on my face.
"Okay, I will k...I mean, hug you to soothe your heart and pride. Just for the record, I have always been lovable, you know," he changed what he was going to say so suddenly that I was kind of taken aback. Was he going to say what I thought he was going to say? Before I could think any further, Ted wrapped me in his arms and gave me a really tight hug, as if he would never let me go. It was a feeling of pure bliss, so warm and wanted. It did not last long though because he released me just as suddenly.
"Thanks, Ted. That is so sweet."
"Hey, buddy. Don't look so touched. You make me blush, you know," he said softly. Sure enough, his ears are turning a really dark shade of red.
"Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ted, Ted, look. Your ears!! Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fine, laugh at me! Laugh all you want, but remember that you will not have anybody to hug you next time if ever you need it again," he looked so hurt that I sobered immediately.
"Ted, I am sorry, buddy. C'mon, give me a smile," I was so worried that I didn't see the smile coming. "Ohh, fine! Now it is your turn to laugh at me. Just see who is going to help you if you ever need one."
"Okay, Jeremy. I am sorry, please, please."
"Well, it is accepted, though it does not appease me much. So, what's your plan for the day?"
"I wanna go and buy the gifts, remember? No, don't stop me. I want to, okay?" Ted looked so earnest that it was hard for me to oppose his idea. Well, it seemed that I had been giving in to him a lot lately! This had to be the power of love. Hehehe! He had compromised too, but not as much as me.
"Hmm, then will you go out and take a shower? I need to wash myself too, you know? Don't wanna go out having the smell of pigs and a matching dragon breath!"
"Well, I am thinking that maybe we can shower together, you know? It will be fun. I used to do that a lot with my friends when I was young."
"You are only one year older than me, for goodness sake! "When I was young," indeed! 24 is not old, Ted!"
"Well, yeah! Hehehe. So, how about the shower?" He asked me again. I was tempted, but I was afraid that I would get a boner, seeing him fully naked for the first time.
"Are you sure? I mean, it will be kind of awkward, no?"
"What's wrong, man? You never see a naked man before?" He winked at me this time and well, I made up my mind. What the heck?
"Fine, if I get a boner and need to jerk off, it is all your fault. I...I mean, not from looking at you, but I woke up with a boner and may need to jerk off, you know?" I was not lying about the morning boner though, it was there after one of the erotic dreams I had about me and Ted in bed. BLUSH
"Hehehe! No problem, man. We can do it together," he replied, surprising me again. This idea was fantastic! Hehehe!
"Okay, you are on."
A few minutes later, we were in the shower, and true to his words, Ted started jerking off. He had a slender penis, around 7 inches. Mine was 1 inch shorter, but definitely thicker. BLUSH Anyway, there we were wanking and I was fascinated by his dick, fantasizing that I was licking it, sucking it. I didn't last long and came after a while. Then, Ted followed me soon after. We finished showering and got ready to go to the mall. I was feeling a bit strange now, after that wanking session in the shower, but Ted did not seemed in the least bit bothered. In fact, he was as energized as ever. We rushed from one shop to another, buying the gifts and arguing over them, but I did not feel up to our usual bartering. Fortunately, Ted did not seem to notice the slight change in me. It would be awkward if he did.
After the shopping trip was over, I helped Ted to wrap the presents and put them in a big box. We did not talk much during the wrapping of gifts, but Ted seemed to be content with the silence, yet I had so much that I would like to say. I couldn't tell him my feeling though.
Just as I was getting up to go back to my bedroom, Ted suddenly called out. "Hey, Jeremy. Have I offended you somehow? You were so quiet all the way since...you know, after shower."
"No, Ted. I am just tired, that's all. I'm fine, really." Before I knew it, Ted rushed towards me and embraced me tightly. I was so surprised that I fell down, and he was lying on top of me.
"Promise me, Jeremy. Don't ever leave me! Please!" He was crying now and I didn't understand any of it.
"Hush, Ted. What's wrong, buddy? Hey, c'mon. Don't scare me. Tell me what's wrong," I urged him. He looked so miserable that tears started to form in my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. After sobbing for a while, Ted gazed into my eyes and our eyes met.
"Nothing, I'm sorry!" He replied. Then, just as quickly, he rolled away from me and stood up, walking back to his room. I was furious though and without realizing what I was doing, I rushed towards him and turned his face to meet mine.
"No way I'm letting you off this time. You'd better tell me what's wrong!" I shouted.
"I told you already: NOTHING!" He shouted back at me just as loudly. We stared at each other with apparent anger and frustration.
"Look, Jeremy. I don't wanna fight you, okay? We will both be hurt," he said to me finally. "I am fine, really. I am sorry." He looked at me, pleading silently that I would understand.
I relinquished my hold on him then. "No, I am sorry. Fine, if you don't wanna talk about it, just know that if you need to talk, you can always...you know," I said softly, not trusting the emotions that were threatening to engulf me.
"Thanks, buddy," he hugged me again, but with gratitude. That wasn't what I wanted from him, though I knew that there was nothing more I could ask of him. Then, he slowly pulled away from me and kissed me on my right cheek. His lips felt so soft and tender, my heart was aching even more at this knowledge. I realized that he would never be mine.
"Well, go and sleep, dude. I need some rest too," I told him and went into my room. Sleep was ever elusive that night, and I had to cry myself to sleep. The next morning, I woke up feeling worse than last night. I wasn't sure how to face him and didn't fancy he would feel more comfortable seeing me. Sigh, I had to pretend that everything was all right, and this was worst. My love for him made it harder for me to ignore him.
After a refreshing shower, I opened the door and was surprised to see him leaning against the wall outside my bedroom. "Ted, Ted! Wake up," I shouted louder than I meant to.
"Hi, sorry. I was waiting for you," he said in a voice that sounded really tired.
"What do you mean?" I was puzzled.
"Well, I...I knocked the door a few hours ago, but you were obviously still asleep," he said softly, sounding almost guilty.
"What!!!" I exclaimed. "Do you know what you are saying? You had waited hours here? Why?"
"I feel bad about last night and I thought...well," he replied.
"Oh, Ted! I told you it was fine and I am sorry too," I looked at him, not really knowing what else to tell him. He was just too good to be true. I was the one who almost exploded with anger last night, and here he was apologizing to me.
"Jeremy, I...hmm, I mean, we need to talk," he said suddenly. His expression was so solemn that I was feeling apprehensive about whatever we would be discussing. We walked towards the living room and sat down on the sofa, facing each other.
"So...what's the matter?" I asked.
"I'm gay," he told me softly, quickly turning away from me. I thought I had gone to heaven then because I was so shocked and maybe had a sudden heart attack. I never expected him to say something like this. My expression must have conveyed my emotion so strongly that he began to cry.
"I'm sorry that I never told you this. I have fallen for you since that morning when I woke up after the night you rescued me. I was beaten by some people who knew that I am gay. I heard that they had been arrested, but I could not tell you for fear of you knowing that I am gay. I love you, Jeremy. I know that you do not feel the same about me, but I can't hold back anymore," he spoke so fast that I could hardly register totally what he was saying to me. The only part that I understood fully was "I love you, Jeremy." "I will move out as quickly as I find a new place to stay. I am sorry." He cried louder now and I tried to say something, but no words came out of my mouth.
"Ted, listen. You don't have to. You...," I barely finished what I wanted to say before Ted cut in.
"No, it's okay, Jeremy. I do not want to jeopardize our friendship as it is, and I...," I did not wait for him to finish the sentence and kissed him on the lips. Then, our tongues danced erotically in each other's mouth. After a while, I licked his tear-stained cheeks and pulled back, looking him straight in the eyes.
"How is that for "I love you, Ted"?" I asked him.
"I...I was...well, what the heck?" He leaned towards me and we kissed with all suppressed passion of weeks gone by. His tongue delved into my mouth and mated with my tongue once again. Our breathing heavy and we had kissed for some minutes now, but neither wanted to stop. Ted pushed me back onto the sofa, slowly sliding on top of me. I could feel the evidence of his arousal as surely as he could feel mine. His hands caressed my hair and I rested mine on his shoulders. Nothing existed but this moment.
"Ahh, Ted...we ha...have t...to stop," I panted out. "Whew, man! You are one hot kisser."
"Nah, not as hot as you," he smiled at me. His hands were still tangled up in my hair, and he looked so adorable.
"Well, that's true. You are quite bad," I teased. Without warning, he started to rub our arousal against each other, and I moaned.
"Say: "You're sorry." C'mon!" Ted grinned wider now, realizing that I was grinding back against him.
"Well, I kind of enjoy this. No, I ain't gonna say it," I retorted, smiling back at him.
"Fine, you gorgeous devil. You asked for it!" He kissed me again and our tongues tasted each other, intertwining and licking. Meanwhile, Ted continued to rub me against him and the silence was broken only by the sound of our breathing, which was getting louder.
Slowly, I took off his shirt and kissed my way down his throat, eliciting a guttural moan. This was obviously a sensitive part. I licked all around it and went down to his nipples. As I sucked and bit each one in turn, his moans came louder and he was now writhing on top of me. Then, I took off his shorts. He was not wearing anything under it, so his cock just sprang straight out at me and I licked it all around, kissing the base, his balls and slowly licked my way up to the head and tasted the pre-cum on it. By now, he was moving restlessly on me, begging me to take his dick into my mouth. I chuckled softly, and decided to torture him a while longer. I continued to kiss the head and licking the tip while he tried in vain to push it into my mouth.
When he begged me again, I decided to stop the sweet torment and engulfed his cock fully. I had to control my gag reflex and acted as if I wanted to swallow his 7 inches. He groaned and purred, and I sucked harder. As I went up and down on his dick, Ted started to unbutton my shirt by pulling my shirt up and finally got it off. Then, he turned me so I was on top of him. I kept on sucking at his dick, eliciting more appreciative moans and groans. I began to lick his cock again, down to the balls, taking one by one into my mouth and sucked them. He moaned louder and this urged me on. After a while, I took his cock back into my mouth and sucked them earnestly.
"Ahhh, Jer...Je...stop, I'm gonna cum soon." I stopped then and looked up at his face. He was breathing rather heavily and I was pleased that he seemed to have enjoyed my "treatment." "Your turn, love," he breathed out.
Then, he took off my shorts and smiled when my hard 6 inches came to view. He licked and kissed the tip, slowly taking the head into his mouth. His tongue continued to lick the tip, and I moaned. "Ahh, yes...yes...Ted. Take it, take my cock into your mou...ahhhhh," I did not manage to finish my sentence and he had taken my whole length into his mouth. Gosh, it felt so good! Then, we got into a 69 position and started sucking harder. I paid special attention to the spot underneath his cock and licked the part before sucking his whole manhood in my mouth.
"I'm cumming, Jeremy. I...ahhhhhhhhh," I sucked harder and swallowed every drop of his cum. He just moaned louder, apparently enjoying this. I had not finished sucking him dry when he took my cock back into his mouth and started sucking harder and before long, he swallowed every drop of my cum. The sensation was so intense I felt that I was seeing stars right before my eyes.
After resting for a while, we kissed and I could taste the smell of cum in his mouth. We broke the kiss almost at the same time and grinned at each other.
"I love you, Ted."
"I love you, Jeremy."
We said spontaneously at the same time that we ended up laughing and I kissed him again for a while. I was so happy that I almost forgot about last night.
"So, you really are in love with me, Jeremy?"
"Definitely. I think I fell for you the night I brought you home. I was so frustrated, thinking that you would never be mine," I replied, still smiling like an idiot.
"I'm so happy!! Thanks, I love you too. I used to fend off the frustration in me working out like...I don't know. I was just so stressed out, you know," he smiled at me with that smile that I loved so much. We kissed for a few more minutes before getting up to take a shower together.
