"Plus there are a few of us for morale support as well."
"You've got no reason to do that Dennis."
"Oh yes I do Aiden. Somebody needs to keep you from screwing up again."
"Yeah,well,no argument there I suppose."
"Mrs Harris, why don't we leave these two to talk a bit and we'll see about getting you settled into that hospice house?"
"I think Dennis that would be a very good idea. We shouldn't be long Aiden."
"Take your time mom. I think Gordon and I have a lot to talk about."
Mrs Harris and I made our way downstairs and across the way to the hospice house. It took a while to get her settled and I convinced her that we should get something to eat as it was well after lunch time at this point. We made a quick stop at the hospital cafeteria.
"Dennis,I have to ask. Why are you doing all of this for Aiden?"
"Because I think he is bascially a decent guy,that just got a little stupid. But I have to admit that I'm doing it just as much for Gordon as I am Aiden."
"Regardless,I think you are a remarkable young man. Not many would have the intergity to do so."
I briefly gave her my story and it would be easy to see why I was the way I was.
"How very extraordinary. I think this Karl is a remarkable young man as well."
"I'll not argue that point Mrs Harris. I suppose we had better get back to those two."
"Undoubtedly."
We made our way back to Aidens room to find both of the guys asleep; Aiden in bed and Gordon in a chair pushed up against the side of the bed and holding hands.
"Thank the Lord, I think they are going to be just fine Dennis."
"I certainly hope so."
"MMugh....what? oh hi mom Den. You all settled in mom?"
"Yes I am,and it appears you are as well."
"Yeah we had a long talk Mrs Harris. Things will be a bit different now."
Gordon and I stayed there pretty much until they threw us out. We grabbed some burgers on the way back to campus.
"You go on up Gordon. I'm going across the way to see Karl for a bit before I come back and get ready for tomorrow."
"Ok Den. Will you take me to the hopital after classes tomorrow?"
"I can't Gordon,I got a commitment. I'll ask Pete or Karl if either one is willing to take you. I'm reasonabley sure one of them will."
"Ok Dennis,and thanks."
"You're more than welcome Gordon. Now go try and relax."
I then made my way over to Karls room and filled him in on what had happened today. I asked him to take Gordon over to the hospital after class and he said it wouldn't be a problem. We hung out for about an hour and because we were in his room alone we kissed for quite a while before I made my way back to my room.
I studied for a couple of hours and my phone buzzed with Karls usual and answered back and then crashed out.
Friday morning and I was up and ready to go jogging and Gordon was right there and we headed out and Karl joined us as usual and he and Gordon made plans for getting to the hospital later in the day.
Classes went as expected this Friday afternoon and I went to my room after class and "made myself presentable" before I went over and got the room assignments and other things from the coach. I made it a piont to go over to Cochran hall and check and make sure that the rooms were made up and ready to go.
I was back downstairs and it was a few minutes before 6 when the bus rolled into the parking lot. Just about that time Gary showed up to help out as planned. The first one of the bus was obviously thier coach.
"You guys must be Dennis and Gary. Thanks be being here to meet us. You'd be surprised how many times we've had to wait on people.
"Sounds kind of petty of them to me sir. Welcome to State. Your rooms will be on the third floor of Cochran hall,this building right here. I have the room assignments and your credentials for everybody. If you'll get them out here we can get started and then across the quad to the cafeteria for some supper."
"Sounds like you have it organized. Alright you guys get on out here and let's get this show on the road!"
The guys started off the bus. It wouldn't be long before Larry Brown would make himself known.
"Oh Jeeze! Don't turn your backs on this guy! He's a fucking faggot!"
"Ah you would be Mr Brown then."
"You know damn well I am Sawyer."
"Actually I know nothing of the sort. You may remember I had an accident graduation night. I didn't wake up until just before last Christmas and I have amnesia."
"Well that's a pretty convienent way of dealing with life twerp."
"That's enough Mr Brown!"
"Yes coach."
"Ok guys I've got your room assignments and credetials so you can get into the meet. Come get your room keys and credentials when I call your name. After you get your stuff in your rooms,we'll take you over to the cafeteria for some chow and then we'll take you over so you can get a look at the venue."
Getting everybody sorted out took Gary and me about a half hour and we made note of a couple of rooming changes and headed across the quad.
I noticed a good number of the squad were in the cafeteria,but didn't say anything to anybody. If the guys were going to screw with the other teams heads I wasn't about to get in their way.
I saw a couple of the guys make it a point to be holding hands in front of the opposing team as they were coming out of the line. Larry was the only one to react and I saw a quick smile cross the faces of the two holding hands.
For the next half hour while dinner was eaten,I think evey member of the team made it a point to make some kind of public display of affection where Larry could see them. It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud.
We finally headed over to the sports facility and out onto the floor where all of the different apparatus were set up.
"You guys get a warm up period from 7 am until 9. The meet starts at 11. Any questions or concerns?"
"Yeah Sawyer,you gonna be in the locker room with us?"
"Put a sock in it Larry!"
This from one of is own teammates.
"Ok gents,we'll see you out front of Cochran hall at 5:30 for breakfast. I don't know what your coach has you on for curfew and that's between you and him. The student union is open until 12 seeing as it's Friday. That is down to the right as you exit this building. 4th building down on the right. If there aren't any questions? Alright then have a good night."
Gary and I hung around for a bit as these guys walked around the hall a bit. I noticed that for some reason the were gathering around the vault station.
"Something wrong guys?"
"Don't know,but this vault doesn't feel right somehow."
Coach just happened to be walking through the hall at that moment.
"Coach! These guys think there might be a problem here. Could you come take a look?"
Coach walked on over and tested the the vault to make sure it was properly anchored and then he was underneath it.
"I knew I should have checked this out earlier. They set it two clicks to high. They did the same thing last year and it screwed everybody up. Thanks for noticing it guys. I'll have it taken care of before your warm up in the morning."
I made it a point to get under and see where it was set so that I could check on it in the morning. Coach by this time was going around and double checking all of the rest of the equipment.
The opposing squad ambled around for a little longer before they all started to go about their business. Once they were all gone I turned to Gary.
"Did you notice?"
"Hell yes I noticed. It was all I could do to keep from falling down laughing. I don't kow if I'll be able to hold it together tomorrow when they get a look at the squad at breakfast."
"I don't either. I hope they don't screw with Brown to badly to the point the judges have to call them on it. I'm wondering how much the rest of their squad will be effected?"
"Likely most of them won't give a damn and I might just have a word with the guys in the morning. That ain't no way to win a meet."
"I don't think so either but I don't know about you,but I wasn't consulted."
"Me neither. This is going to be fun to watch though."
"Maybe. Well I'm heading back to the dorm and sacking out. I'm usually up at 5:45 to go jogging anyway,but I want to be on my toes for this whole thing tomorrow."
"Amen to that. See you in the morning."
When I got back to my room Karl ws there waiting for me and Pete was out.
"Well did Brown make himself known?"
"Oh in no uncertain terms love. The squad was ready for him too. They were putting on a show for him in the cafeteria. Public displays of affection,and they weren't even trying to be sublte about it. I can't wait to see his face tomorrow when they sit down with for breakfast. It should be damned priceless. Did you get Gordon out to the hospital?"
"Yeah,and what the hell happened to the twerp that was Aiden?"
"I think he may have realized what he actually has in Gordon. I'm still going to be keeping an eye on those two."
"Yeah I would think so. I know Gordon sure didn't want to leave when visiting hours were over. You might want to check on him before you crash."
"Yeah I suppose I should at least stick my head in and see if he is ok. Then I am going to call it a night love. I need to be up extra early for breakfast with the other guys before thier practice time."
Karl and I had our goodnight kiss and then he was on his way back to Cochran hall. I knocked on Gordons door and it opened to Gordon standing there.
"You doing ok?"
"Yeah I'll be fine I think."
"Good. I won't be running with you in the morning as I need to have the other team to breakfast at 5:30 and then the rest of the day is with the meet."
"Yeah I figured. I've made arrangements to get back and forth to the hospital."
"Good. Don't stay up to late and I should be able to talk to you tomorrow night."
Gordon just moved up to me and threw his arms around my neck and gave me a hug.
"Thanks for standing by me Dennis."
"Not to worry Gordo. Now try and relax. I need to get some sleep."
