The Apprentice
by Sahypo
Chapter 24
Isaac arrived at the house after classes and took the mail out of the box on his way into the house. There was a letter from the court in the stack with credit card come-ons and other junk mail. He tore the letter open and read that a hearing on the adoption would be held on the 25th of the next month, or just before Halloween. The best news was that the letter was sent on behalf of Judge Baileys department. He had made good on his promise to Timmy that he would preside over the hearings. He saw that the letter had been sent to Dennis, Debbie, June and Edward Kane as well as Pat and Lizabeth. All parties who could potentially assert parental rights over Timmy would be there .This was it, the main event.
Once inside the house, he called his mother and told her about the letter. She chatted with Isaac a few minutes and told him she would let his father know, and that they would put the hearing on their calendars. Isaac told her about the last couple of visits from the child protective services, and that things seemed to be going well.
He told her that Timmy had been tutoring Sean, and that Sean was doing a lot better, and that Timmy had been in isolated testing for the first three weeks of school. He had a lot of extra homework as a consequence, to get him caught up in his classes. Isaac helped the boys with their assignments, which was actually much more challenging than his own homework.
Peter showed up at the house several evenings back, with two suitcases. It wasnt everything that he owned, but things were happening at home that made him think he should be prepared one way or the other. He came home from work two days later, and his mother intercepted him at the door.
We need to talk I have food for you on the table. It was an invitation Peter couldnt refuse.
He sat down at the table, and his mother sat across from him. Your father and I love you very much, Peter. Very much. she said.
Okay Peter said between bites. I dont doubt that for a minute mom. Peter replied.
We are worried about you something isnt right, and its bothering you. We can feel it. And now, most of your clothes are missing Peter, please this has me spooked. Whats going on? she pleaded.
Peter stopped eating and felt tears welling up in his eyes as everything came to a head He had reached the moment in time he feared the most. The tears came full on now, and spilled freely.
His mother was completely unprepared for this, and all sorts of visions of trouble ran through her mind.
Peter, whatever it is, it cant be that bad, honey. Talk to me she begged.
Its worse! he sobbed. The most wonderful thing thats ever happened is going to ruin everything Im going to lose my home and family
What the How do you figure that? she asked, totally bewildered.
Because you and Dad are going to throw me out and dis-, um Disown you? his mother finished. Peter nodded and blew snot into a napkin loudly.
And what have you done that would make us do that, Peter? Did you hurt someone?
Not yet he replied. His mother got up and poured two fingers of Bourbon in a glass and sat back down. She sipped the liquor and waited for her son to continue.
Peter looked up at his mother and said I met someone who makes me feel like I never have in my life, Mom. Im in love, and Im so happy he said as he broke down in sobs again. The irony would have been funny as hell in a comedy, but the emotional pain Peter was in was excruciating, and quite obvious.
Everybody falls in love with someone, Peter .Did you get a girl in trouble, is that what this is about?
Peter shook his head, and began to cry harder.
I wish it was that simple, Mommy, I really do .I wanted to find a girl to fall in love with so you and dad would be happy and proud of me but .theres no attraction Im so sorry, Mommy, it just doesnt happen for me. I tried to change it but Id never be happy like that, um with a girl...and wed both wind up hurt .Im sorry, Mommy.
Peter wailed as if in full blown grief, his safe and private world had just died in a supernova, and the secret that he kept safe all his life was now off his shoulders forever. He waited for the explosive reaction and quick trip out of the house that he had lived again and again in bad dreams. It seemed to his mother that he had never looked smaller and more defenseless than he did now. She sipped her drink hard, and tried to get herself collected as the full meaning of Peters revelation hit her.
Well, fuck me running .how could a child I love more than life itself be gay, and I couldnt have figured it out? Where in the hell have I been the last 18 years?
Moving over to her son, she pulled him out of the chair and hugged him. Peter continued to sob, breaking down completely and soaking his mothers shoulder with his tears.
Peters father heard the commotion, and peeked into the kitchen to see what was going on, and was flabbergasted to see his son shuddering on his mothers shoulder like his best friend had died, or something equally awful had happened. She gave her husband a not now signal and he nodded and went back to what he was doing.
Peter, we should have talked about this a long time ago Im so sorry that we didnt figure this out sooner, baby .Is this why you never went on dates, and always studied like some Tibetan monk in high school?
She had often teased her son about his underground existence in the basement and lack of social outlets, and now she realized that he had lived his high school years in fear. Fear of failing with the females and being outed among his peers, and fear of his parents reaction if he came out. He chose the path of least resistance and used his pursuit of academic excellence as a cover, with frequent masturbation to release his sexual tensions, although his mother and father werent privy to those details. The time he spent at Athertons working further insulated him from social obligations that he found awkward. To his mother, all this now fit
Peter nodded. He had quit sobbing and now was hyperventilating, trying to get under control. He hadnt been in a state like this since childhood.
I just couldnt fake it, Mom Rather than be miserable, I just didnt play the game. Ive been so lonely, but now Peter trailed off.
Baby, Im so sorry you had to live in hiding like this she paused.
Whats his name, honey?
Isaac Peter whispered. His mother already knew a lot about Isaac from what Peter had told her and his father. She knew that Peter had been spending nights with Isaac, and wasnt surprised that Peter now confirmed the existence of their relationship.
Do you love him?
Yes, Mother. I love him His answer came out in a croak, as he became emotional again thinking of the boy he loved.
And you took your clothes because you thought your father and I would go bat-shit crazy when you told us this
Something like that, yeah Peter felt rather sheepish, as he obviously had badly misread his parents. His mother was pretty much of the tough love school, and wasnt fazed by a lot of things in life. She was an Air Force veteran, and now supervised the maintenance dispatch staff for the largest airline in the United States. She had been Peters inspiration to pursue a career in aviation, having taken her son to work with her numerous times over the years under her salty crust was a heart of gold, and her employees would often ask for her advice with problems they were having at home. You wouldnt get loving from her if you deserved the stick, but the opposite was also true.
Im a bit miffed that you would feel that we arent proud of you, Peter. Do you know how jealous a lot of people we know are of this family, and wish they had kids as successful as you? Your dad and I are damned proud of you, and dont you ever say otherwise if I can hear it. Im not going to tell you that your father is going to take this well, and it might take a while for him to come to grips with what you told me, but we are your parents, Peter, and we would never turn our backs on you. Gay or straight, like it or not your children are who they are going to be. Things are going to be different than all of us thought they would, Peter. Not just for you, but all of us. But we will get used to this together as a family. We cant do that if you feel you have to live a secret life.
Yes, mother
Invite Isaac over here on your next Saturday off, Peter. Peter knew that was not a suggestion
Yes, mother, I will
Let me handle your dad, Peter. she said. That was also not intended to be a suggestion.
Okay, mom and thanks
She kissed Peter on his forehead and said Peter dont ever go to such lengths to hide anything like this from us .you dont have to do that in your own family. Your dad and I want you to be happy, and were not going to let anything cost us our son. You might have run away, or committed suicide God only knows what some kids have done because they couldnt come out.
Peter instantly realized why his mother was somewhat pissed right now. Oh my God! I didnt think about that .Im sorry, Mom. Thats the same thing Isaacs dad told me.
Isaacs dad?
Yeah Isaacs dad figured out that we were dating and talked to me in private. He told me about Isaac coming out, and that he had to accept Isaac as he is to keep from losing him and that they were worried about the suicide stuff too. He talked to me about how to tell you guys when the time came, but
So, when did Isaac tell his folks?
Like when he was 12, he said
Peter, did you or Isaac ever think about doing any thing like suicide or leaving? she asked.
No, Mom Isaac came out as a kid so he didnt hide it for long, and I always figured you would find out after I left home You kind of busted me, though Peter said, finally cracking a smile.
Its going to be all right, son Now go to bed, youve had a long day. Goodnight she said, giving Peter another kiss.
Night, Mom. I love you so much
Love you too, son she said as she poured two glasses of Bourbon.
Peter turned and went down the hallway to the door to his basement man cave, passing his father who was watching TV after dinner. Peter ate his evening meal later than the family, since he was often at the store until almost 9 pm. His father noticed the tears on his sons face, and his wife carrying two tumblers of Bourbon. Peter went down the stairs and closed the door behind him.
Whats up with Peetie? he wondered
We need to talk, honey and youll need this. she replied.
Peter was exhausted, not only emotionally, but because he had full 18 hour days on the days he worked. He dropped his clothes on the floor and fell into bed, and drifted off to sleep. At least his mother hadnt melted down or completely exploded; one down, one to go. He had to call Isaac
Hey
Hey, Isaac .Well .it happened. Mom figured things out
Oh how did it go, Peter, are you okay? Isaac wondered.
Umm .I cried a lot and told her everything I think she is okay with it, but my dad doesnt know yet. And Im good I still have a place to live I guess.
Peter, you always have a place to live Isaac reminded him.
Im sorry, Isaac. I didnt mean that like .how it came out. Peter said.
I just love you so much. I want you here all the time Isaac said.
I know..me too. And theres more Youre coming here to meet them the day after tomorrow.
Upstairs, Peters mother and father sat together on the loveseat in their living room, and she handed her husband the Bourbon.
So whats going on, did something happen to Peetie? Why was he so upset?
Something did happen, Paul, and hes completely terrified because of it
But, hes okay, hes not .uh, hurt or anything, is he? he asked, clearly worried.
No, hes okay. Paul, hes fallen in love with someone . the man relaxed a little, surprised.
Really? I mean, hes never even gone out once that I can remember what could he be afraid of, honey? Did he get a girl pregnant?
Funny, that was the same question I asked him superior minds think alike! she said, taking a sip of the whiskey. No, its nothing like that at all.
God, then what cou- he began, but was cut off
He was terrified of what we would do when we found out, Paul. The couple looked at each other, he uncomprehending, and she choosing her words to continue.
Paul spoke first.
Ok, Im .Um, Im totally lost here .why would he be afraid of us for falling in Wait a minute ..is this girl friend interracial, or something? he trailed off, as she began shaking her head.
No, Paul ..um .honey, he isnt in love with a girl
There, it was out there in the middle of the road, like a ten car pile up on the freeway.
He told me that he wanted to find a girl and make it work so we would be happy, but he couldnt do it. He feels ashamed and that hes let us down, Paul. He was afraid we were going to throw him out and disown him. she explained.
Peeties gay Paul stated.
She nodded and repeated Peeties gay, and just came out, Daddy.
Oh, Jesus, why couldnt I see this Paul felt a lot of regret We should have talked to him so long ago .My God, what did we do? We shoulda seen the signs they were all over the place. It all fits
We didnt do anything wrong, Paul we just thought we had a perfect family, and did the things parents do to keep things perfect, and we couldnt see that it wasnt perfect for our little boy.
So hes been miserable this whole time and we never knew he observed. She nodded again.
Paul took a long hit on his whiskey, and stood up. Son of a bitch! he said mainly to himself, and went to the basement stair door. He usually knocked, but paused just as his knuckles would have touched the door. He closed his eyes and put his hand on the knob.
He looked at his wife, who asked Paul, are you sure youre okay? He nodded and said
I am now, yeah I just got to get through this little talk with my son and turned the knob.
Do you need me with you? she asked.
Uh-uh this is a fathers job, Mommy. Itll be all right.
He opened the door and went down the stairs. He navigated the gloom and found Peters bed, and Peter curled up in a fetal position, quietly crying himself to sleep.
Paul sat on the bed, and touched Peters hair Peetie son, can we talk a little bit? Come on, sit up and talk to me.
Paul got up, so Peter could extricate himself from his bedding and sit on the edge of the bed. Paul sat back down next to his son, and pulled the boys head onto his shoulder.
Peter burst into tears again, and his body heaved as he struggled to breath, a fresh round of emotions escaping his youthful body. Paul held and rocked Peter as the teen cried his eyes out.
Daddy, Im so sorry .I wanted you and Mom to be happy and proud of me ..and I couldnt do it and and and I .couldnt hurt someone I would only be pretending to love...
I know son you did the right thing .
Its not gonna be the way you and mom wanted ..Im sorry, Daddy. Ive been so lonely
No, son, I guess it wont But its not about what your mom and I want Its about what makes you happy and complete in life .if that happens to be Isaac, then so be it, son Paul said.
You knew it was him, huh? Peter asked.
He seems to be the only other person on Earth, the way youve been talking about him.
I must have been pretty obvious...Are you mad at me, Dad? Peter asked.
No, Im not mad at you, baby I am troubled that you would be afraid to talk to me I should have just talked to you about this when you were younger, and Im sure that would have embarrassed the shit out of you. But at least you would have known your old man was there to listen to you .I dropped that ball, Peter. Big Time. Will you forgive me?
Yeah of course I do .I thought this would be the worst thing I could have done
Oh, Peter .you have no clue how much worse it could have played out You could have run off and abandoned your family, or committed suicide on us .
Mom said that too The reality of his parents concern and love for him was beginning to sink in. They were both scared to death that he might have picked that option. He didnt realize that there were families who lived with that reality. Pat had talked briefly about this with Peter, but it hadnt registered with him at the time.
Peetie .Peter .You have no idea how proud we are of you. How it feels to have a mature and responsible son who graduated magna cum laude in his class, who is respectful, caring, considerate and never gave us anything to worry about. You dont know how I get on my knees and thank God for giving you to us when I listen to my friends and coworkers talk about their shitty ass rotten entitled kids and tear their hair out over drug addictions and knocked up daughters
Peter, Look Im not going to lose my only son because I cant handle him being gay. But I need some time to get used to this, please Give me time and understanding for that, okay?
Yes Peter whispered. Dad?
Yeah?
Im sorry I didnt give you and mom the benefit of the doubt will you forgive me? Peter asked.
Yes but no more secrets. No one can be happy if they cant be who they are. Do we have a deal?
Yes, Sir, we do Peter agreed.
Paul leaned over in the darkness and kissed his son on the top of the head. Get some sleep or youll be a zombie tomorrow I love you.
I love you too, Daddy Peter said. He realized that he didnt say that nearly often enough, as he drifted off. He had several short nightmares that night, and woke up exhausted. He also knew that there was something those nightmares were trying to tell him.
Paul reversed course and emerged from the top of the stairs. He put the whiskey glass on the counter, and poured himself another drink. He felt a pair of hands slip around him from behind, and turned to give his wife a peck on the cheek.
How did Daddys talk go? she asked.
Really well, Mommy God, I have never seen him that upset and scared before. Paul said.
I know Are you coming to bed?
After this drink I got to think for a bit wont be able to sleep right away.
Okay dont stay up too late.. Oh, Peters going to ask Isaac over on Saturday. Got any plans? she asked.
No, I think thats more important than anything else right now.
Good Night, dear she said as she turned to go.
Night I wont be long Paul replied.
Peter looked like hammered shit when Isaac came by to pick him up for school in the morning.
Holy Moley, Peter, did you sleep at all?
Not really
Was it that bad?
No, they were both really great about it I didnt expect dad to be as cool as he was, but I think he had a few drinks before we talked I know Mom did
Cant really blame them can you?
Nope .It was the bad dreams that kept me up Isaac
Dreams? What sort of dreams?
They both talked about how kids who cant come out often commit suicide, and your dad said something about that the day we talked out by the pool .which really helped with last night by the way .and I had dreams about gay kids killing themselves and shit I didnt know that kind of stuff happened
My dad was really talking to you about suicides? Isaac began
Yeah, he did He was talking about being aware of stories about that happening, and he was glad that you told them so early .anyway, that really got me thinking. And it kept me up all night.
So what do you think it means? Isaac asked.
Im not sure right now I think its telling me I should do something, you know get involved help people Peter replied.
Maybe youve heard a calling? Anyway, everythings now okay with your folks?
Yes, its all been said and cried over and done, thank God
Peter, Im so happy for you Isaac said, and leaned over to give his lover a peck as they drove away from the curb.
About tomorrow, its going to be a feast, so bring Timmy, okay? Peter asked. They want to meet him too Ive told them so much about the two of you, I just hope you can live up to the hype
Gee, Thanks, DARLING! Isaac teased.
Later on that afternoon, Isaac dropped Peter back off at home, so Peter could change and go to work. Isaac and Timmy would spend the evening in the usual way, homework, dinner, and a swim, TV and bed, or some variation on that theme. Peter had planned to spend the night with Isaac, and then come home Saturday morning with Isaac and Timmy, for the Coming Out bash, as Peter referred to it.
Timmy had received Erics Message about Craig, and hurried off a reply
Eric,
Thats awesome! Please give him my contact info!
This is just as exciting 4 me as it was when I met you!
Thanks, youre the best!
Timmy sent the message, and went back to the kitchen to help Sean with science homework. Timmy was placed in a college level basic chemistry class, as part of the adjustment of his schedule. All the accelerated classes that he passed carried college credit, just like the Advanced Placement classes that high school students could apply for. The difference was that the program Timmy was in did the same thing for middle school students. He was learning about latent heat, or the capacity to store thermal energy that all physical materials possessed. The homework questions were deliberately designed to make you work; the facts of each problem were presented as a mix of imperial and metric values, so Timmy had to convert watts to kilocalories per joule, and so on
Dammit! . Timmy said, and slid his calculations over to Isaac, who was studying for a quiz on Oxygen systems that would be given tomorrow.
Isaac I keep getting the wrong answer on this one, and Im not seeing what I got screwed up can you look at it?
Sure lets see what you got Isaac read the problem in the book, and looked at Timmys equations.
Uh yeah I see it. Isaac said, looking at Timmy.
Theres a mistake? Timmy asked, relieved that he wasnt going in circles any longer.
Yeah Isaac said, teasing Timmy. It will cost you to find out what it is
Timmy rolled his eyes and said No, I wont give you a blowjob!
Sean dropped the pencil he was fidgeting with as he read the science book, and screeched with laughter, as Timmy and Isaac cracked up.
Promises, promises! Isaac teased.
Timmy reached across the table and grabbed his papers from Isaac Gimme my shit back! he teased. Isaac got up and found the instant tea and began to fill the pitcher with water.
After the boys collected themselves, Timmy asked again, So where did I klooge this thing up?
How many horsepower in a KiloWatt, Timmy?
746! Timmy stated flatly
Umm, youre thinking backwards, big guy Isaac said. Sean arched his eyebrows and snuck a hand under the table and squeezed Timmys crotch; Timmy squealed in surprise,
Sean! What the hell! Timmy protested as Sean cackled with glee Just checking if the nickname really fits!
Isaac noticed that both boys seemed preoccupied and it began to dawn on him what it was.
Do you two horny toads need a cold shower? Isaac asked.
Sounds good Timmy said
Can we? Sean asked.
How much of this homework do you guys have left? Isaac asked.
Im almost done with mine Timmy said.
I have to read a chapter, but that wont take long Sean added.
Go take a break then half an hour Isaac said.
Forty five minutes? Timmy begged.
Okay, dinners on in forty five minutes guys. Isaac agreed.
Timmy and Sean went back to Isaacs room, to use the big shower, and took their clothes off on the bed. Seans nearly three inch hard erection was leading the way, and Timmy took notice.
Man, that looks so frigging hard! Does it hurt? He asked, half in jest.
It feels great now my pants are off its a bit weird that it seems bigger each time I look at it Sean said.
But thats a good thing! When did you measure it last? Timmy asked.
Sunday before I went to bed Sean replied.
Cool, I cant wait for the next update in your logbook Timmy said.
It should be easier to capture the data now that I have an assistant Sean purred. Would you like to handle the test subject for your own evaluation, Doctor?
Why, certainly, Doctor! Anything to assist a colleague! Timmy responded, taking Seans rigid little member in his hand, gently rubbing the corona and the area under the glans Sean began to sigh and melt and closed his eyes as he enjoyed Timmys gently fondling fingers.
Sean found Timmys underwear by Braille, and rubbed his friends full basket, as Timmys cock came to full tumescence. Sean slipped his fingers inside the waistband, and peeled the undies off Timmys torso, and the thick curved penis swung up once free of the briefs. It pointed horizontally then gradually down, unlike Seans straight unit. Sean immediately went low, and ran his fingertips along the bottom of Timmys cock, and teased his now wet piss opening. Timmy moaned in delight. Sean had found all of Timmys good spots and made the greatest effort to please the friend he adored and looked up to, wanting to perform this service just right. Timmy rewarded his older friend with praise and gratitude, moaning how good Seans fingers felt. He leaned forward to kiss Sean gently, cradling his head in his hands and gently tonguing Seans lips as his mouth relaxed and let Timmy show him how to French kiss. After a minute of heavy kissing, Timmy reached in and turned the water on, as he continued to caress and stroke Seans stiff boyhood. They climbed into the shower together, and Timmy got on his knees on the shower floor, and looked Seans boycock directly in the eye. As Sean looked down and watched, Timmy licked Seans tip, shaft, and ball sack, then took all of Seans organ in his mouth and began to run his tongue around Seans corona. At his size, Timmy took all of Sean and by letting his tongue out of his mouth, was able to suck Seans dick and lick his scrotum at the same time. Sean couldnt decide between jumping eight feet straight up or passing out. The new sensations flooding his body were the most intense that Sean had ever experienced. Seans smooth body was entirely devoid of hair, and Timmy ran his water slickened hands up and down Seans chest as he worked the exquisitely hard little cock in his mouth. Sean moaned with pleasure, as his first experience with oral sex played out in his neighbors shower.
Although Sean was used to having erections that would last until he got bored with them or his penis would not respond further, things had been changing inside and now the incredible sensations of pleasure no longer became boring, but now grew more intense. Since his first orgasm assisted by Timmy the other day, Sean had barely anything on his mind other than repeating that experience over and over. He watched intently as his penis slid in and out of Timmys gentle lips, and felt an incredible tension building in his groin, Timmy could feel Seans cocklet tighten further, and in a matter of seconds Sean began gasping as the cock in Timmys mouth spasmed and pulsed eight or ten times before Sean gently pushed Timmys mouth off his spent staff, and rinsed it off as it returned to its flaccid state.
Sean assumed the position Timmy had been in, and looked at Timmys wide penis.
Got any tips? Sean asked.
Just take it slow and easy, and dont try more than you can handle at first. You have to work your way up Timmy suggested.
Its so damned big, Timmy Sean said.
Umm, I have friends who are bigger .lots bigger Timmy replied, Sammy coming to mind.
They must be deformed Sean joked, then realized what he said Oh, shit! No offense intended, Timmy!
How can I be offended by a boy who wants to suck my dick? Timmy joked. Its ok Sean, you dont have to walk on eggs around me and worry about what you say. Im cool with my stuff the way it is.
I think your stuff is hot Sean stated.
Aaah, Youll meet somebody better down the road. Timm said. Im just the first guy youve been with.
Ill never have another first, Timmy. Thats always gonna be you, no matter what. You were the first one to see me naked, other than my doctor and that dont count, and touch it, and you made me cum the first time ever.
Timmy didnt know how to respond at that moment, and simply let Sean tease him with his tongue. Sean worked up until he could handle half of Timmys length before his gag reflex took over.
Youre doing great, neighbor .It feels awesome Timmy assured his friend. It takes practice like every day Timmy said, looking for a reaction from Sean.
Sean pulled off and said I bet you would just hate to have to sit through all that practicing, wouldnt you?
Helping a friend is well worth the sacrifice Timmy quipped as Sean resumed his oral ministrations. Sean began working Timmys piss slit with his tongue, and jacking the part of the shaft he couldnt get in his mouth with his right hand, as his left hand felt and gently rolled Timmys testicle around in the sack. Timmy quickly reached his point of no return, and cried out,
Oh, Im gonna cum ..Ahh, Urmm .Ahh, Ugh Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhh! Oh, yeah ..as a warm salty tasting thick liquid flooded into Seans mouth. He let the semen dribble out of his mouth onto the shower floor, and kept working Timmy until his friends big penis softened.
Well? Sean asked, standing up again.
Needs lots of practice .Lots Every day .Twice a day on weekends Timmy teased. That was awesome and I loved it, thanks, neighbor.
Likewise that was my first time.. Sean said.
Giving or getting? Timmy asked.
Both Sean replied, and gave Timmy a light affectionate kiss. Youre a bad influence on me, I hope!
Isaac announced time was up with a knock on the door. Timmy turned the water off and the boys dried.
Timmy, would Isaac say anything if we didnt get dressed? Sean asked.
Not if its your idea to do it, and youre completely okay with this. Timmy answered.
Sean thought about this and how he had wanted to join Timmy, Isaac and Peter in the pool on those hot afternoons when they swam in the buff. Should I ask him, or you?
Timmy smiled and walked out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen. Isaac, Sean is way too chicken to ask you if he can be nude with us. Sean turned purple and then scarlet with embarrassment, as Timmy cackled, delighted with himself.
You fucker! That was totally evil! Sean spluttered, trying not to laugh at being had.
Got the job done, what are fuckers, I mean friends for? Timmy shot back.
Isaac watched the exchange with amusement, and said Yes, Sean. Our house and pool is clothing optional. You can be nude when its just us and Peter here. But we never do it if someone who is not comfortable with nudity is present, got it?
Sure Sean said, walking into the kitchen covering himself.
Umm, that kind of defeats the purpose of not wearing clothes, doesnt it? Isaac asked.
Yeah, I guess. I was afraid you would say something Sean admitted, slowly moving his hands away, exposing his small genitals.
Say something about what, Sean? Isaac asked gently.
You know .about how small it is and stuff. Sean admitted.
All of us have to start someplace, Sean everybody is small to begin with its natural and nothing to be ashamed of. Youll get a lot bigger, and it wont be long before that happens, . no pun intended. Isaac said, raising his voice at Timmy, who was cracking up with laughter. He had gotten the innuendo instantly, even though Isaac had not intended that it be meant that way. Isaac shot Timmy an evil glance, as if to say
Im trying to help this kid build some self esteem here dont be a complete dingle-berry, Count Dorkula!
Timmy caught the lack of amusement in Isaacs eyes, and put on a mopey guilty face
Sorry
So Sean, part of going naturist is accepting yourself as is, and others too. If you get into it, its very liberating to not worry about such things. Isaac said. By the way, I have a small penis too
No, he doesnt Its average Timmy corrected. The small side of average he teased.
And youve seen Timmys differences, right? Isaac asked, ignoring his younger friend for the moment.
Yeah, I have. Sean admitted.
So everybody is a little different. Nothing wrong with that, Sean. Isaac said. Satisfied, Sean sat back down at the table to watch the back and forth between Sean and Isaac.
Getting back to your little issue, did you find what you did wrong? Isaac asked.
Isaac, Dearest, none of my issues are ever little Timmy deadpanned. Isaac rolled his eyes as Sean chuckled. Timmy was in fine form this afternoon But yes, I think I found the mistake, Thanks .
Sean got up and took his textbook off the table, and headed into the living room.
Timmy pointed to the line in his math where he had gone astray. This should be one divided by 0.746, right?
Yes, exactly Isaac said.
Sean was reading his science chapter on the couch. He was laying across half the couch on his back and had his hairless legs propped up against the backrest, his textbook on his chest.
This I dont get Ive read this three times now, and it still makes no sense Sean complained.
What makes no sense? Isaac asked.
Well it says humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes one set from the mother and one from the father
Yes Isaac said, as he came over to the couch and stood next to Sean.
One pair determines the sex of the the.. Sean forgot the word he was looking for.
Fetus, yes Isaac finished.
Yeah, thanks girls are XX and boys are XY Sean stated.
Correct and? Isaac said, encouraging Sean to continue.
So how come you cant have a third sex, with YY chromosomes? Sean wondered.
Oh, thats easy you can only get Y chromosomes from the father, not the mother. You get an X chromosome egg from mom and another X or a Y in the sperm from dad .since there are no Y eggs, you just cant put a YY baby together it wouldnt live anyway because all the Y chromosome does is make you a boy Isaac replied.
Sean considered that in silence for a moment, then continued
So your saying that since a dad has to give you the Y chromosome to be a boy, the father is the one that makes the baby male or female Sean asked.
Yup Isaac said.
Well, damn! I shoulda just asked you first before I got all confused trying to read this! Sean beamed, smiling up at Isaac. Thanks!
No sweat, little buddy Isaac said, provoking laughter from Timmy.
Oh, will you please give that a rest already! Isaac teased.
What? Sean wondered, puzzled.
Inside family joke Timmy replied.
Soon the homework assignments were completed, and the boys were enjoying the evening meal, nothing on of course. After dinner, Sean got dressed and decided to call it an evening, and left. Timmy and Isaac cleared the table and were standing in the kitchen washing and drying dishes.
Isaac?
Yuh-huh
You never did tell me what Detective Walsh said to you that time you blew chow over the back fence.
Damn it! I thought he had totally forgotten about that! Isaac cursed silently, and collected his thoughts.
Im pretty sure I dont remember Isaac deflected.
You almost fainted on the patio and you tossed your cookies, but you dont remember
Timmy was obviously not buying any of this attempt at evading the question.
Isaac rinsed his hands off, and stepped over to the table and took a seat. He looked at Timmy and said
Little buddy, you know I love and cherish you so much, and I would do anything for you, to make you happy, or keep you safe I never asked you for anything in return for my love, right?
True Timmy acknowledged.
This is one time when I am asking you for something .Im asking you to understand and accept that I cant tell you, because I do love you and want you to be safe and happy.
I just want you to be able to be a kid and have fun with your friends and stuff, Timmy. Please let this go, okay ?
Uh, sure, I guess .are you okay? This whole conversation had really brought Isaac down, and now Timmy felt bad for pushing the issue. He hugged his older buddy and said
Im sorry, I shouldnt have brought it up again, Isaac. I didnt want to bum you out
Im okay. I know you werent trying to do that Isaac replied, then changed the subject.
Listen, Timmy. Peter came out to his folks last night
Timmys expression changed to one of surprise Oh .Oh, wow .Like was there a huge fight?
I dont think so, but Peters coming after work, you can ask him. Then the three of us are going to his folks house tomorrow
I can see why they would want to meet you, but why me? Timmy asked.
I was told to make sure you were included in this Isaac replied. I think one does not refuse the mother unit in Peters house, from what I hear.
