Right Back Where We Started From (sequel to In The Biginning)

We sat down on the deck, beers in hand and looked up at the stars. The chair was just big enough for the two of us, and John's leg was brushing up against mine. We sipped away in silence, until our beers were empty. I didn't bother to get more, so we just sat there in silence. After maybe an hour, I sat forward. 'John, what were you gonna say before, in my room?' I asked 'Huh?' he said, looking at me briefly, an unusual look of anxiety on his face. 'You were gonna say something important, I wanna know what it was.' 'Look, maybe... I don't know, sometimes the things you wanna say are the hardest, you know?' he replied. 'Okay, well, i'm listening' I continued, not giving in. 'Fine, i'll tell you, but please just listen to what I have to say, okay? Don't try to interrupt me.' he said. 'ok.' 'Well, I don't know where to begin... so here goes. when I called this afternoon, I was really worried about you for some reason. you hadn't been in school, and yeah, I was wondering what was up. before I called, I got to wondering myself, why do I care so much? because I really did. so, the more I thought about it, the more I realised how much you mean to me Pat.' The way he said my name like that, my heart skipped a beat. John usually reserved dumb nick names for me like spunk, doofus, pretty much anything he could think up. 'And I know that sounds wierd, but it's true. no one has ever stuck by me like you. remember when I wasn't allowed on junior camp, and you stayed behind with me? I realised then what a great friend you were, giving up the one thing we'd both been waiting for all through school, and I was shocked. that was like a year ago, I know, but i've been thinkin about it ever since, and what it meant. what I must have meant to you.' 'John...' I stammered... 'Just wait, let me finish.' he interrupted. 'i'm almost there anyway. look, what i'm trying to say is, for almost a year now...' john turned his body to face me, putting his hand on my leg...'i've been falling in love with you.' My heart stopped. everything stopped. I was stunned. did he really just say that? 'Huh?' I said clumsily, not knowing what to say. 'Shit!' he said, jumping out of his seat and walking towards the door back inside. 'John, wait! come back, i'm sorry...' I cried out to him. He turned to face me, piercing me with his crystal blue eyes. he slowly walked back, and sat down next to me. we sat in silence, me gathering my thoughts on what to say, and john looking down at his feet. 'I love you too...' I said, so quiet I barely heard it myself. He looked up at me then, looking deep into my eyes. I leaned a bit closer, still looking into his eyes, and kissed him softly on the lips, neither of us blinking. I pulled back... 'Let's go to bed' I said. by then it was getting late, and a bit chilly, the cold sea air blasting my skin, turning my nipples hard as rock. We went inside, down the stairs to my room, and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth at the first basin, john at the second, and that was it, off to bed. I climbed in first, taking my usual spot on the left side. john climbed in next to me, and cuddled up to me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I could feel his warm breath on the back of my neck, and felt his heart beating hard in his chest, mine doing the same. he moved his body even closer, and I felt his hard cock pressing up against my ass cheeks. I rolled around to face him, and before I could even settle, he was locking lips with me. I closed my eyes this time, as I opened my mouth just a bit, enough to let our tongues slide against each other. I started to think back over the last few years, since high school started and how far we'd come. john and I had slept together so many times, mostly at his house, and never even touched on our sexuality, it had been totally platonic. this was going to be the start of something big. I ran my hands over his smooth body, paying attention to the bits I knew would be sensitive, the edge of his armpits, the side of his stomach, the area around his navel, and then down to his croch. he was half up, but as soon as I touched his cock through his soft cotton boxers, it pulsed with desire. I gently rubbed him up and down, slowly and seductively, and he let out a low sigh of pleasure as his tongue explored my mouth. 'I don't ever want anything to come between us, pat' he siad, pulling back slightly, and I could see the serious look in his eyes. 'Has anything come between us yet?' I asked, running my free hand through his hair as I continued stroking his cock. He kissed me again, deeper, more passionately this time, and I knew that he was wanting me bad. After five minutes, I pulled away, gasping for a whole breath. 'I've been wanting this for so long I said, cuddling him, resting my head on his chest as he rolled onto his back, and with that, I fell asleep in his strong arms.
