Greg, being the nervous bundle of energy he had always been, was jittery when the car stopped in front of a large house. The man who drove the car had greeted Andrew with a hard kiss on the lips taking away any illusion that the diver was "just" a friend.

When Greg entered the house it was full of half dressed men and blaring rock music. His father introduced him to a few of them saying that they were his new friends; Greg didn't pay attention though; all he wanted was to be shown his room. He didn't have to wait long. His father took him upstairs to the third floor to a bedroom that was loaded with a flat panel television, a DVD player, a computer, a small gym and a king size bed.

"Here you go... welcome to your new room... neat isn't it?" His father asked excitedly.

Greg knew what was expected of him and he tried his best to look and sound impressed, but his father got the message and did not stay long. As soon as he was gone, Greg looked for and found a lock on his door. It did little to block the sound of the party that was spreading from downstairs to the rest of the house... if it could even be called a party. Shouting and moans that could only be associated with sex soon over took the music in volume. Soon Greg heard a pounding on his door but with the moans coming with it he realized that it was not the door being pounded but someone's ass.

Greg knew that he had promised to call Josh as soon as he arrived but with all the sex happening outside his room Greg just didn't have the will to do it. He didn't want to call Josh and tell him his father had brought him to a sex party. Telling Josh that would only worry him and that was the last thing Greg wanted to do. He had to be strong and survive on his own and hope that his dad would let him go back home.


David came home later then he intended, but he had still expected to hear voices downstairs when he arrived and the place was silent as a tomb. After eating dinner by himself, he went looking for Nathan but he was not even in his room.

Looking down the long hallway on the second floor, David saw a light leaking from one of the closed doors... Greg's room. Hoping to find Nathan there, David made his way to the room and opened it to find a shocking scene.

On Greg's bed was Nathan, stripped of his shirt and face puffy from tears that still poured from his eyes. Spooned up behind him was Philip, also with his shirt off, kissing Nathan's bicep while an arm was wrapped around Nate's waist.

"What the hell is going on here?" David demanded. He only knew two things. First... Nate looked like he had been hurt. Second, his rival had his arms wrapped around the one man he cared about. David didn't know what was happening but he was sure that is was Philip's fault.

"Greg's gone..." Was Nathan's two word despondent answer.

"What?" David asked confused.

"You stay here Nate... You're in no shape to have to explain things to a later comer," Philip said while he glared at David.

Nathan just nodded his head and closed his eyes while Philip climbed over him and took David out of the room.

"What the hell is going on... if you hurt Nate I'll..."

"Shhhh... " Philip silenced David. "Nate is feeling vulnerable right now and with what happened while you were gone he has every right to be upset."

"Ok tell me what happened," David demanded, ignoring the half accusation Philip had made.

"Your uncle Andrew went nuts. He demanded that Greg move out with him with only two suitcases. Greg didn't want to go but his dad made him. Both your uncle Josh and Nathan are very upset. Nathan needed someone and I was the only one would could take care of him."

"You took advantage of the situation," David accused.

"I did what you couldn't do," Philip struck back.

"Well now I'm here so I would like you to leave me with my brother."

"Why so you can have your unbrotherly way with him?"

"He is my brother... I know him a lot better then you do," David said getting madder by the second.

"Have you ever kissed him?" Philip said snidely.

"You keep your hands off him."

"I think that should be Nate's choice not yours."

"Fine... but just give me an hour with him."

"Ok... I'll tell Nate that I will be in the den getting the sleeping bags ready." Philip said before going back into Greg's room.

David waited outside for a few minutes, pacing around. When Philip finally came back out he had a self-satisfied grin on his face. "He's all yours," Philip grinned, giving David a pat on the back.

David grinded his teeth as he tried to calm himself down before entering the room. After taking a deep breath he opened the door to see Nathan sitting up.

"You doing ok Nate?" David asked as he took a seat next to the man he loved more then anyone.

"I'm doing better..." Nathan tried to smile. "Sorry if seeing Philip and me shocked you."

"It did surprise me a little," David admitted with lighter emotions then he was feeling. He then gingerly wrapped an arm around Nathan and lowered him down onto the bed. "Nate... I want to be here for you."

"I know... you have always been the big brother," Nathan sighed as he let David wrap his arms around his chest.

They rested together like that for several minutes. During that time David's thoughts were dominated with the vision of Nate in Philip's arms. He felt if he didn't act soon he would lose his chance. It was then that David broke his promise to Kyle.

"I love you Nate," David whispered into Nathan's ear before kissing him.

"What?" Nathan asked, confusion clearly showing in his voice.

"I love you Nate," David repeated. "I want to be more then a brother to you."

"David... I can't handle this right now," Nathan said as he stood up. "You're my brother... how much closer can we get?"

"I want to be your lover. I want us to get married one day."

"David..." Nathan replied in a near panic. "You are my brother... we can't do that."

"I'm not your brother... we were only raised like them. If we had grown up like next door neighbors we could have been just as close and I would still have these feelings for you."

"David... I don't know if I am even gay."

"But you and Philip."

"I just needed someone to comfort me."

"Then why can't I comfort you?"

"You can... just not in the same way."

"But I want to!" David pouted.

"David I love you but as a brother. I don't know what to make of your feelings for me. I just don't need more confusion right now."

"I'm sorry you are confused Nathan... that you don't know if you are gay or not but for me I'm no longer confused. I am GAY and I LOVE you! Nothing is going to change these two facts. I know this is a lot for you to deal with right now but I don't want you to shut me out just because you think we are brothers."

"But..." Nathan was about to protest.

"Nathan... what do you want be to do? Do you want me to go back to pretending that you don't mean more to me then you knew? Do you want to disown me as your brother? What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to be yourself," Nathan admitted.

"Then you have to deal with me telling you that I love you."

"Ok... but I'm not sure I can return it... at least in the way you want."

"I understand... all I ask is you give me a chance."

"Then I ask that you give me time."

"Alright..."

"And that you let me pursue my options," Nathan added.

"With Philip..." David said tensely.

"With anyone I choose," Nathan said calmly.

"Ok... then how will I be able to... court you I guess?"

"Just one thing at a time," Nathan half smiled. "I know everyone thinks I'm clueless and that might be true... just let me finds things out for myself."

"Ok... but can I ask for one thing... for now that is?"

"Depends on what it is."

"I would like to kiss you."

"Ok..." Nathan nodded his head.

As he was a good four inches taller then Nate and since he wanted their lips to meet without the awkwardness of bending over, David lowered Nathan back down onto the bed before climbing on top of him. He brushed the soft brown hair off Nathan's face as he stared into his blue eyes. With a hand under Nathan's chin, David lowered his lips on to Nate's pressing first gently and then harder. When Nathan's lips parted, Davis slipped in his tongue, letting the bottom of it brush against Nathan's. It took some time and encouragement but Nathan did finally become and active participant, dueling his tongue against David's before David guided it into his own mouth. David loved the feel of Nathan's tongue on his lips and he lifted his head up, ending the kiss.

"Your getting hard David..." was Nathan's first words.

"Sorry..." David apologized as he got off Nate. "You didn't like it," David sighed sadly.

"No... I did. I'm just not ready for things to get more serious," Nathan explained.

"Ok... can we try it again?"

"Later..." Nathan said as he got up.

"Can I kiss you goodnight then."

"Yes..." Nathan said as he gave David a quick peck on the cheek.

David returned it with no more passion then what Nathan had given in his. He didn't want to press his luck. "Goodnight Nate."

"Night David."


Robert noticed that Andrew's car was still missing from the garage when he came home. He half expected to find Josh asleep on the sofa waiting for Andrew to come home but the whole first floor was empty. Wanting to just check on Josh to see if he was ok. Robert climbed up the stairs and opened the bedroom door. Sitting on top of his bed in the middle of the dark room was Josh, crying.

"Josh... what is wrong?" Robert said as he quickly moved to sit next to him.

"Andrew took Greg," Josh wept.

"What... what did he do?" Robert asked in disbelief.

"He took Greg to a new house he bought behind my back. He says I have to decide where I want to live. It comes down to him wanting me to end all contact with you."

"I'll move out then," Robert said with a heavy heart.

"No Robert..."

"If I move out then Andrew might move back here."

"No Robert," Josh said more insistently.

"Josh if I leave then everything will be fixed."

"No it wouldn't Rob!"

"Josh... I'm trying to help you out."

"No you are not!"

"Why do you say that?" Robert said not understanding why Josh was arguing with him.

"Cause I don't want you to move out! I love you Robert!" Josh said right before he wrapped Robert into a bear hug.

Both of them had know they still loved each other but in a silent agreement they had stopped telling each other that the day after they had broken up. With Josh's emotional declaration all of the barriers Robert had put up to stop himself from reacting on his feelings fell to the wayside. He lowered Josh onto the bed and climbed on top of him. He held his love just like that, trying to imagine what Josh's face looked like under the blanket of darkness. Regardless of what happened from this day forth Robert was committed to fully expressing his feelings to Josh. No more pretending to just be close friends. They were lovers. Even during the years they had not slept together they had made love with mere glances. Andrew had every right to be angry with the two of them.

Robert had made the mistake in turning down Josh's wedding ring. Josh had made the mistake in marrying Andrew. Andrew had made his own mistake in staying with Josh while at the same time making sure Josh felt guilty for every moment he spent with Robert.

That was all over now. Robert was going to make sure that Josh picked him this go around. No one loved Josh like Robert did and he was sure that Josh didn't love anyone like his Rob. Robert had been too immature while Josh had been too impatient but now he felt both of them were ready to make this relationship work.

"Go to the guest room... I'll meet you there," Robert said as he got off Josh.

"Ok..." Josh said as he got up and headed downstairs.

Robert had one thing he needed to do before he could reclaim Josh in bed. He had to talk to the man who had been his companion for the past twelve years... Dan. Unlike Andrew, Dan had not shown bitterness toward the affection Robert gave Josh. It might have been that Dan always knew and completely accepted Josh's role in Robert's life. It might have also been that neither Robert nor Dan entered their relationship with the idea that they would be an exclusive couple. Robert had stopped tricking three years ago but he knew that Dan still fooled around every now and then.

Dan had told Robert time and time again that he would not be hurt if Robert got back with Josh. Dan had been more of a best friend and butt buddy then a boyfriend anyway.

Still Robert entered the bedroom he shared with Dan with some fear in his heart. "Dan..." Robert shook him awake.

"Yes Robert..." Dan asked dreary eyed.

"Andrew has moved out."

"Oh... ok. Good riddance I say."

"He took Greg with him."

"He did!" Dan said as he jumped out of bed.

"Yes... that is why I woke you up... Josh needs me."

"I understand... So the day has finally come...you're going back to him."

"Yes."

"Well you have my blessing," Dan said as he kissed Robert on the forehead.

"Thank you, Dan, for being understanding."

"Well it's about time I grew up and found myself a man just for me. You were meant to be with him, you know. I always knew that. You surprised me on how long the two of you were willing to just pretend being close friends."

"Well we didn't fool anyone. Not even each other."

"I know... that is why I'm happy for you. I only have one question though."

"Yes...?" Robert asked nervously.

"Why are you still here?"

"You want me to go?" Robert smiled in surprise.

"Well I don't think Josh can warm up his bed on his own."

"Ok..." Robert chuckled as he got off the bed, took something out of the nightstand drawer and headed for the door.

"Goodnight Robert," Dan said as he lowered himself back into bed... a content smile on his face.


Telling Dan his intentions had only been half his reason for going back to his bedroom. Getting the things he now carried in the palm of his hand was the other. It was a ring... a wedding ring that had Josh's name engraved on it. When Josh had given him that ring so many years ago Robert had been sick and filled with self loathing. He had turned down Josh's offer of marriage but kept the ring. Now he wanted Josh to put it on his finger, where it had always belonged.

Downstairs in the guestroom, Robert found Josh sitting on the bed but this time with the lights on. Josh looked up at him with a weak smile that Robert found very endearing. Robert walked over to Josh and took one of his hands, putting the ring into it. Robert then took off the ring Josh had on his left hand and looked at the engraving. As he had always suspected his own name, not Andrew's was etched on the inner band. That mean that the ring Andrew wore only had his own name on it as it had always been intended.

"It's time these rings go back to where they belong," Robert said as he got down on his knees. He slipped the ring that had his own name onto his left ring finger but was only able to get it below his first knuckle. He then took the ring he had just given Josh and slipped it on his soul mate's finger where it remained loose.

"I guess I have put on a little weight," Robert chuckled as he remembered the ring had fit twelve years ago.

"It's ok... it just mean there is more of you to hug."

"Hug..." Robert chuckled as he began to undress. "I want to do a lot more then just hug you tonight."

"Same here but no sex... not tonight... not until I tell Andrew that it is over."

"Ok..." Robert agreed, understanding Josh's feelings.

After getting undressed, he helped Josh out of his cloths and joined him under the sheets. Face to face, Robert licked the salty dry tears off Josh's face while his hands ran down his lover's back. Then when he was sure Josh's face was cleaned of the marks of sadness, Robert kissed him, gently at first but then with more and more passion. He rolled himself on top of Josh; never letting his lips leave Josh's face.

The two men continued to let their passions for each other build as their tongues dueled to enter each other's mouths. Josh then nibbled on his lover's lips while both hands held Robert's head in place.

What Josh had said about them not having sex seemed to slip both their minds as Robert slid off his boxers, letting his dick hump against Josh's inner thigh. Josh for his part slipped his briefs down till his cock was free. Robert then finished the job slithering down Josh's body while his thumbs worked his underwear down. He then climbed his way back up on to Josh, running his tongue along his inner calf and thigh until he was sucking on Josh's balls. Josh ran his fingers through Robert's hair as he received oral from Robert. More then what was being done to him, it was who was doing it to him that drove Josh's passions. Robert's mouth had barely covered Josh's dick when Josh fired his load into Robert mouth. Robert then shared the load with his love in a kiss.

Robert then watched the post-orgasmic calm come over Josh's face as he smiled up at him. He then rolled Josh on to his stomach. He then mounted on top of Josh, pushing his dick between Josh's thighs. Robert then used his own legs to keep Josh's legs close together, clamping down on his dick. Fucking Josh between his legs, Robert built up his own orgasm until he fired all over Josh's legs. He then lapped up the cum, stopping every now and then to tongue feed part of it to Josh.

Now that both had reached climax, Robert snuggled up with Josh, spooning him from behind with his arms wrapped around his waist tightly. Josh for his part let his own hands rest on the large arms around him.

"Josh... I want to take you away from all this," Robert whispered into his lover's ear.

"My hands are a little full right now."

"That is why we need a vacation."

"We had one... we went hiking over the summer."

"Yeah... all nine of us. We were more like an invading army then campers. You spent nearly the whole time keeping the camp site clean."

"Well nine people produce a lot of mess."

"Yes Josh, but giving yourself latrine digging duties on top of cooking the meals was too much. You didn't get much chance to enjoy yourself. I know of this wonderful health spa in Miami that we can go to for a month where you won't have to lift a finger. It'll just be the two of us making passionate love between beauty treatments and fitness training."

"A month... I can't be gone for a month."

"Yes you can... the boys can take care of themselves... you've made Nate into a younger version of you. He is responsible and knows how to cook up a storm."

"What about Greg?"

"There you need to accept the fact that there is little you can do. We can stay around for a few more weeks to see if Andrew comes to his senses but you can't force things. Greg will soon be 18 and then he can chose to live wherever he wants. There is one person though who can change things."

"Who?"

"Andrews ex-wife."

"But the two of them don't get along."

"Yes but she still gave him custody... why do you think she did that?"

"Cause Greg asked her."

"Yes, but don't you think she also looked at who was going to raise her son."

"You are telling me that she gave Andrew custody because she knew I would be the primary care giver."

"Hahaha... I just love it when you use legal terms," Robert laughed. "Yes... she knew you would be the one who would raise her son so do you think she will be happy that Greg is no longer living with you?"

"She might... but I don't want to turn this into a court battle. That would not help Greg out much."

"Yes... but it is something you should consider if you think Greg needs it. Talk to Jessica about what is happening. You can do it after you visit Andrew's new place and talk to Greg."

"Well he was supposed to call me when he arrived," Josh sighed.

"Well I would not worry. He probably doesn't know what to say. Andrew is still his dad. Being in the middle between the two of you can't be easy."

"I guess you're right. I just want to know that he is ok."

"And I'm sure he is. Andrew loves Greg as well and would not put him at risk."

"Ok..." Josh agreed.

"Now back to our honeymoon..." Robert brought up, preferring to talk about how he was going to make Josh feel loved again.
