Someone for Doug
Chapter 5
I wasn't very happy the way things were working out so far this summer. When Doug had been hurt I planned I would be able to help take care of him. Josh took two weeks off to stay home, so there was nothing for me to do. Fine. When Josh was due to go back to work, I was out of school for the summer and planned I would be able to help take care of Doug. Billy was staying with them by then and he was going to look after Doug, so there was no way for me to help. Fine. Billy is going out with Dave now and I figure my time has come, I can help take care of Doug. So now I find out Doug is up wandering around on a pair of crutches, able to get around pretty much on his own and I still haven't had a chance to look after Doug. This is no longer fine.
"What's the matter, Teddy." Doug asked. "You look like you've lost your best friend." I had come over to visit this afternoon because I really didn't have anything to do.
"No." I replied. "You're sitting right here. I was just thinking." He had snapped me back to the conversation we were having as I sat on the side of his bed.
"Am I really your best friend, Teddy ?" Doug questioned. He was looking at me with a strange look on his face.
"Yeah." I answered. "Don't you know that ?" It had never occurred to me he didn't know how much he meant to me.
"I guess I did know in a way." he said. "I just think of you as a little brother more than as a friend."
"I'd sooner be your friend." I declared. "Little brothers are too easy to take for granted. It's too easy to think they're in the way when you don't want to be bothered with them and expect them to accommodate you when you just want them to do stuff. Friends aren't treated that way, or you run the risk of losing them. Brothers don't get lost."
"Do I take you for granted, Teddy ?" he asked. "You know I don't mean to I hope."
"I think we take all our close relatives or those we consider relatives for granted." I told him. "I take my Mom for granted all the time. Look at Josh. Look at everything he's done for you in the past month, yet you feel most grateful to Dave and Billy for looking after you. They've only done a fraction of what Josh has done. But because you consider him a relative, you can take it for granted." Doug thought about what we had said.
"You're absolutely right, Teddy." he finally said. "I should be much more grateful to Josh for everything he does for me, for all of us. But just the same I would prefer you to think of me as your big brother."
"Why is that ?" I wanted to know.
"Because the things I do for you," he replied, "are done because I love you and want to share with you. They are not done because I am concerned you wouldn't be my friend any longer if I didn't do them and as much as I should appreciate Josh more that's the same reason he does them for me and you, too."
I told you at the start he was smart.
Doug was back using his own room, managing stairs very well with the aid of his crutches. Billy was in one of the spare bedrooms and the living room and dining room were back to their former condition. How better to mark the day than to have dinner all together for a change. Jane and Teddy, our extended family were present. Billy had invited Dave, so that made seven all together. Josh had consulted with Mrs. Frye and they had everything well in hand by the time she left for the night. I made sure the office appointments stayed caught up and Wil and I were out the door promptly at 5:30 p.m.
Wil had settled into the role of a Family Practitioner like he had been one all his life. His warm and friendly personality which he had held at bay behind the clinical face of the surgeon for so many years had burst forth and made itself known within the first few days. Wil worked in tandem with me at first and I found if I left him with a patient at the end of a visit, I would complete two further patients by the time he was done saying good bye to the person I left with him. Nancy and I decided on the days he was in we would start him off with a half hour per patient booking instead of my usual 15 minute schedule. The response from patients toward him was extremely positive and he seemed to be having a wonderful time. His work was precise and accurate and he heeded Nancy's advise about the personality of specific patients, to his benefit.
I arrived home before six and we were sitting down to dinner at seven. The conversation was light during dinner but got down to some important issues as we were finishing eating.
"Dr. Rich and Josh, I have something I need to ask you about." Bill announced. "I've been looking for a job so I can support myself, but Dave wants me to find part-time work and go to college. He says it is important for me to continue my education. If I do he says I can live with him to keep my expenses down."
"And how do you feel about that arrangement ?" I asked him. I was glad he had felt comfortable enough to talk about this with everyone present. There were important things here which both Doug and Teddy needed to hear and consider.
"I have mixed feelings." Bill replied. "I can't stay here and sponge from you and Josh much longer, but I think I will feel the same way about living with Dave if he is paying the bills. I can't afford to support myself and go to school as well, so I think I should work for a year and get some savings ahead to live from. Then I will be more on my own."
"Jane, can you speak to Bill on this matter ?" I questioned. She seemed startled her opinion would be requested.
"My reaction is a bit negative and I'm afraid I don't have a solution at hand to offer." Jane commented. "I don't think Bill should wait to go to school. The loss of momentum and discipline for study can be disastrous. I also don't think Bill and Dave should live together. His dependence on Dave and the possibility of resentment on both their parts over a three or four year period is a heavy burden for a couple to bear when they are starting out." There was a silent pause after Jane spoke as everyone mulled over the points she had made. I looked over at Josh and knew he was holding back, allowing others to think the problem out.
"My turn." Dave said. "I get a say in this. I love Billy, Billy loves me. I have a good, secure job and can afford to support both of us. I can see the drawbacks to this as well. Billy doesn't know these feelings yet. Feelings of resentment because he moved into MY apartment, we live on MY money, he is dependent on ME. That's not the sharing he is expecting and I want him to have. I don't know how to resolve this conflict, but if the only way to get him in school is to do it, then I'm committed to do so."
"I thought when two people were in love problems got fixed." Teddy commented. "Isn't loving each other enough to get past the problems ? I love someone and someday he will love me too. I just have to love him enough to wait for him to realize it." Teddy blushed and thought he might have said too much. I saw Josh and Doug glance at each other. Jane was amazed, but was also wise enough not to comment.
"Love is a very important and very strong emotion, Teddy." Josh told him. "Its strength can carry people through the worst of problems, but it can not save them from themselves. Without realizing it, people can allow other emotions to suppress and overcome their love. Love does not solve problems, people do. Relying on love to make problems go away or solve themselves won't work. Love can only give you the strength to work through a problem, it won't do the work on its own."
"As to Billy's specific problem, I guess it's my turn." I drew the conversation back to the original topic. "What Jane was saying is very true and Josh pinpointed the problem of balancing emotions. What you are proposing Billy is very difficult and places a tremendous strain on starting out a relationship. My suggestion is that you continue living here with us and you continue your education at the college. You get a part-time job to earn your spending and clothing money. Dave and you can continue exploring and developing your relationship. It might not be exactly what you want, but it is the most flexible plan and leaves open the greatest number of options for you. Is that where you would stand Josh ?" My trusty partner nodded his agreement.
"I can't continue taking your charity." Billy said.
"It isn't charity." I assured him. "You can help out occasionally with things we need done around the house, keep your own room cleaned up, wash out the tub if you use it, keep Doug under your thumb,....."
"Hey, hey." Doug trumpeted. "He might be older, but I do have some seniority." Everyone had a chuckle.
"You and I will have a discussion a little later about how we're going to handle tuition." I added. Billy looked at me questioningly. "We'll work something out so your finances are not overwhelmed."
"I would like to participate in the tuition discussion." Dave volunteered.
"I'm sure collectively we can make arrangements which will satisfy everyone." Josh confirmed.
"I have something I need to talk to you about," he told me, "but you might not like what I have to say."
"We've been friends for a long time." I replied. "You can talk to me about anything. You don't have to pick certain topics."
"I'm gay." he blurted out. He waited to see my reaction and there was none.
"Why do you think you're gay ?" I asked.
"I had sex with a guy." he said. "I really liked it. More than fucking Linda. He did me, three times."
"What did you do ?" I wanted to know.
"We fucked., what did you think ?" he seemed disgusted I didn't catch on.
"Well, you could have done a number of things." I replied. "Who'd you do it with ?" He looked at me for a minute. He seemed really unsure about telling me. Finally he answered.
"C."
"Jim, I wouldn't have believed it." I responded. "How did you ever get to that point."
"We've been spending a lot of time together lately." Jim recounted. "You've been right all along. He is a really deep and interesting person once you get through the farm boy part. He came over and stayed at my place last weekend while the rents were away. We been talking about things, you know, like sex things and he has a real open approach about it. He says you get that from living on the farm. Our talking just got to the point that he came right out and asked if I wanted to try it. I told him yes', but I was afraid it would hurt. He said he'd done it before and knew how, so it wouldn't hurt very much. We did it. It hurt some at the start, but it got better really fast."
"And what does `C' think ?" I asked. "Are you two going to have a relationship, or was this a one time only deal ?"
"I don't know." he said. "That's the problem. I don't know what to do next. I'd like fool around with him again, but I don't want to be his boyfriend. Maybe just some more sex. What if he thinks I'm his now ? I shouldn't have done this, it's going to blow up on me."
"You're right." I told him. "I've told you before, `The Doctor says' understand beforehand what your sex is about. Pleasure, intimacy, love, experimentation. Know what your partner expects from you. I don't tell you these things he says as a joke. I tell you because they prove to be right, over and over."
"I know, I know." he admitted. "Can you talk to `C' for me. Tell him I'm lost and don't know where to go next. See what he is expecting to happen. If I'm lucky, he will think it was just a favour to me or he just had a good time getting his rocks off."
"I'll talk to him, Jim, but I think you're missing a good bet." I said. "If `C' is gay, then you're letting a really good man get away."
A couple days later C' came to visit me one afternoon. Dressed again like a cool dude, he cut one appealing image. His massive size emphasized his muscled upper body and his trim, but muscular lower body. Having been in the locker room and showers many times with C', I already knew just how powerfully sexy he really was, but others seemed to be stuck in the image he normally presented.. The clothes he usually wore were a disguise. Holding his head down always hid his handsome face from those with whom he interacted. C' told me Jim said I needed to see him and Jim didn't come cause I wanted to talk to him alone. I don't think I had ever thought before of my long time friend, Jim as a coward until then.
"C." I said. "Jim told me what happened between the two of you." He stared at me blankly. "About the two of you having sex." His eyes darted away from me and he looked down at the floor. He looked like a puppy that had been hit by someone with a switch and I knew he was assuming his role.
"Are you mad at me, Doug ?" he finally spoke to me. I didn't answer him for a minute. I wanted to see what he would do. "Out on the farm that stuff goes on all the time. You see the chickens and the horses and the cattle doin' that stuff from the time you are old enough to walk. I didn't mean anything wrong by it." I started to laugh. Slowly, `C' raised his head just enough so he could look at me.
"Does Jim actually buy the farmer/hillbilly crap from you." I continued laughing. "If you don't knock it off right now, I'm going to get really pissed."
"Well, shit Doug." he started. "What the hell do you expect ? They all look at me and think I'm this empty headed lummox who doesn't know a square root from the hole in the ground he shits in." There was no drawl. There was no hesitation. This had instantly become like having a conversation with Dad or Josh.
"You got Jim all tied up in a knot." I told him. "He doesn't know whether he's had a romp in the hay with you or if you're ready to hog tie him and put your brand on him for the rest of your natural lives."
"Well it serves the fucker right." he responded. "He tried to sucker me into lettin' him experiment on me, as if I wouldn't know what it was for and where to put it. By the way, how long have you known about the `hayseed' act ?"
"Since the end of the first week I met you." I said. "I thought you'd catch on to my knowing when every time I saw you I said you made me laugh."
"Shit and I thought you just were bein' nice and teasing me to cheer me up." he replied. "You going to let me string Jim on for awhile. Trust me, he really does deserve it. Tell him I'm totally into his butt and plan on pounding into it two or three times, every night for the rest of our lives. See if he can face up to me and admit it was only experimenting and he wants out."
"So, you're really not interested in a relationship ?" I asked. "And you're not really gay ?"
"With Jim, the only relationship I'm interested in is as friends, if he can become more honest and stop using people." he answered. "As far as being gay, the only relationship I want is with you."
Billy and I snuggled together under the sheets. It had been chilly and damp coming home tonight. It looked like the whole weekend could be wet. Billy had told them he wouldn't be home this weekend, so it would be a terrible shame if the weather forced us to spend all that time in my bed. NOT
"Are you settled about the arrangements for college ?" I asked Billy.
"I still haven't really grasped how wonderful and generous everyone has been to me." he replied. Dr. Rich and Josh are going to carry _ of my tuition and books as long as I carry a B average. And you covering the other ¬ . How am I ever going to repay everyone ?" A big tear ran from the corner of his eye.
"You repay everyone by carrying that B average." I counseled. "You show everyone the faith we all have in you is good judgment on our part. We all believe in you and your potential, my love. We all love you." We hugged each other tightly. Loosening his grip around me slightly, Billy leaned into me and gave me a passionate kiss.
"Will you make love with me tonight, Dave ?" he asked quietly. "I want you in me. I need to be joined to you and for you to become part of me, please."
"I've never been able to resist a man who says please'." I teased him. He broke away from my grip and whipping the covers from over us, he dove down onto my rising cock. He had kept his vow and practiced diligently to be able to take all of the gentle giant' orally. He was now able to swallow about 10" of my staff. I tried to tell him the human throat was not designed to accept something the length and girth of my weapon, but he argued if they could learn to swallow swords, he could learn to take my cock. He insisted on 15 minutes whenever we were alone to practice and I must admit I did love his efforts.
"First one to cum is a cock sucker." he chimed before running his tongue over my staff. I shifted over and engulfed Mr. Lucky' gently rolling his baggage' in my hand. I wanted to bring Billy to climax so he would not be too quick on the trigger when we had intercourse. He was becoming skilled at giving me head and could bring me off at his own discretion after we had reached a certain point. His current ministrations indicated he was intent on achieving such a goal and I though it might be best as I was certain the excitement of entering and possessing him would bring me to the edge far too quickly to properly tend to his needs.
We played together for some time providing each other with the pleasures which only those in love can fully share. Billy explored my groin, concentrating on my shaft and the sensitive head which rewarded him continually for his attention with a steady flow of precum. I stimulated `Mr. Lucky' just short of the point of no return several times and then at the last moment eased off and allowed Billy to regain control. He was very impressed when we climaxed at the same or within very close time and I always tried to match our final moments so they would be shared and Billy would feel extra self-satisfaction.
As I felt the stirrings of impending closure creeping up on me, I made sure Billy was ready to climax. I've started using some anal stimulation with him lately to begin his adjustment to what yet we would undertake and on this occasion I triggered his climax by inserting my third finger into him at the apex of his physical excitement. We both pumped our essence to the other as we soared together into a dimension of sharing and love. Floating there we felt the thrill of love encompass our minds and bathe us in the joy of being together.
As I slowly settled back into my bed I thought of the concerns I am having about joining with Billy. I have had intercourse with a few partners and each time the size of my member has proven to be a problem. I am afraid of hurting Billy and the possibility is certainly there. The one hope I have held is Billy's size. He is so much bigger framed than I am, I hope it will make a difference in our joining. No one I have ever been with has been the size of Billy Edwards and as odd as we may appear as a couple, it may be the factor which makes fulfillment of our relationship a reality.
I slowly removed my digit from Billy's arse and lubricated my fingers thoroughly. I slowly reinserted my finger without any resistance as Billy toyed with `the friendly giant' who was slowly coming back to life. My second finger joined the first and the two twisted, pulled and scissored to relax and widen the tight muscle ring guarding entrance to the satin tunnel. I worked slowly and carefully and Billy started to moan and shift his hips as my motions stimulated his sensitive nerve endings. The third finger caused some discomfort, but that quickly eased as I found his prostate gland and gently nudged it sending new messages throughout Billy's body. I felt immense pleasure as I watched him bask in the new feelings and tell me about the coloured lights flashing in his mind.
Leaving my exercising, I moved up to Billy's lips and brushed them tenderly with my tongue, easing them apart and entering his mouth as we kissed. My tongue found and stroked his lovingly, conveying messages of love and desire. He responded instantly to my overture and returned my attention. I eased down his body and lightly stroking his hard, flat chest located one nipple with my hand and the other with my lips. Squeezing and rolling each they became hard bullets. Sliding down his six pack abs and tracing their outline with my tongue, I swabbed out his navel, making him squirm and breath rapidly.
The time had come. Billy had lubed my shaft, first with his spit and next with the special gel. I helped him turn onto his stomach and raise his hips up, exposing his ass for my easy access. Taking a gob of lube, I re- inserted my fingers into him, depositing it well into his sheath. Placing the head of my rampant pole at the open entrance I moved the head into him. As I increased the pressure I continually talked to him, asking questions that when he answered I could gauge the stress of his voice. Slowly, very slowly I squeezed past the ring of muscle, stopping and waiting as soon as he closed firmly behind my crown. Waiting a full minute for him to adjust and relax I began to lean toward him again and my tube slowly began to travel into him.
Every inch I stopped and waited asking Billy how he was. Each time he replied he was fine and his voice bore out the accuracy of his assessment. It took several minutes, but eventually I had entered Billy totally with my pubic bush rubbing the tender skin of his ass crease and my ball sac nuzzled up to his. Billy had moaned and groaned loudly over the last 5", but had begged me to continue as the sensations he was experiencing were what he termed `the best ever'. As I slowly backed out, he began to whimper and begged me not to take it away. The resulting drive forward elicited a renewal of the moans and groans he had previously serenaded to me.
This entire situation was beyond my belief. Never, ever had a man been able to take me fully, but Billy had done it without any indication of pain or discomfort. I had entered him fully and he was demanding I remain filling him. It was as though we had been made for each other, a fit in personality, a fit in intellect, a fit in desire and a physical fit beyond anything I had ever experienced. The sword had found its sheath and the joy of this meeting was beyond what either of us had ever imagined.
Short strokes back and forth met with his approval and seemed to slightly ease the tremendous pressure on my shaft. His cavern walls were gripping me, trying to encourage my shaft to implode upon itself. Deciding I could not do this any longer without watching Billy's face to be certain I did not hurt him when I started moving I withdrew from him completely. Billy howled and berated me for my action. Helping him move onto his back, I lifted his legs onto my shoulders, lined up my missile and carefully returned to his vacated silo. The expression on his face was priceless. The sounds coming from him were encouraging and endearing.
I began a steady stroking rhythm which brought the strongest sensations through my cock I could remember having. Billy groaned continually and I joined him. As I watched, `Mr. Lucky' stood rigidly at attention and without any assistance spit a half dozen times onto Billy's face, chin, chest and abdomen. Billy's tunnel clamped so tightly on me I could not move, so waited patiently until his spasms eased and then I continued to stroke reveling in the renewed sensations. I don't think Billy actually came back to me for the next two or three minutes as my release built. As I hit my peak and thrust one final time, Billy again locked me deep within him as he ejected a second series of ejaculations while I soared to the heavens and met him soaring among the clouds.
Billy and I were mated for life. We did not discuss the fact, both of us just knew it was a fact. No one else could ever accompany one of us to the dimension of pleasure and peace where we played and loved together. And there would never be any need to have anyone try. He had just become a part of me. He now was as vital to my survival as my heart or brain and his eyes and kisses told me repeatedly the same was true for him. We were one and as one would face our lives as they unfolded secure in the love and permanence of each other.
"Will you just please believe me." Nancy insisted. "I can't book him for an appointment between Christmas and New Years. You're not available then. You can see him the week before Christmas or the second week of January."
"I don't know what you're talking about." I replied. It wasn't often Nancy and I were at odds, but I just wasn't grasping what she was telling me."
"Rich, pay attention to what I'm telling you." she repeated. "You will not be available for appointments from Christmas until the second week in January. Trust me that this is okay."
"Let me see the appointment book." I told her. She grabbed the book, snapped it shut and held it behind her back.
"If you want to know anymore about it," she snarled at me, "ask Josh, but if you do you'll be sorry `cause you're going to ruin the surprise."
"What surprise ?" I wanted to know.
"If you knew that, it wouldn't be a surprise." she snapped emphatically. "Men, you can't live with them and you can't live with them." she further muttered as she turned her back on me and went off to do some filing with the appointment book tucked securely under her arm.
I was left standing there with my mouth open, wondering why my sweet, co-operative, dedicated to me receptionist had suddenly turned into a viscous, book protecting she-devil, telling me I couldn't book appointments for my patients without speaking to my partner. As my mind cleared, I smelled the distinct aroma of a conspiracy. I hated it when I knew something was going on and I didn't know what it was. Well, if according to Nancy, I'd be sorry asking Josh about it, my only other option was to attack the weakest link. The one thing which Doug had never been able to do in his life was keep a secret from me.
"I think you and I should have a talk, Teddy." I said.
"Sure Josh." he replied. "What do you want to talk about ?"
"You and Doug." I replied. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me with a hint of fear in his eye. "You aren't concerned about talking with me, are you Teddy ?"
"No." he answered hesitantly. "Did Doug want you to talk to me ?"
"Actually, I haven't talked to him about this." I told him. "I thought you might need an ear to sort out some of the things you said the other night at dinner."
"How did you know it's Doug ?" he asked. "No, never mind, It wouldn't be hard for you to figure out. What am I going to do Josh ?"
"Well I know that it sounds hard, but I would suggest you move on and look for someone else." I suggested.
"There's only three years between us." Teddy offered. "There's more than that between Dave and Billy.
"Yes," I agreed, "but the times in your life make a difference. Doug will be a legal adult in a very short time. It will be quite awhile before you get there. Doug has a lot of life and living to do before then. He can't wait for you to catch up and you don't want him to anyway. You have a lot to do while you grow up too."
"I can't stop loving Doug." Teddy said.
"I know." I agreed. "He will go on loving you, too. You will always be his little brother' and he will always be your big brother', no one will ever take that away from either of you. You will still be friends, but you need to make other friends, your own age, with your own interests."
"Other kids my age don't like me, Josh." he complained.
"What, an intelligent, good looking, interesting guy like you." I commented. "I find that hard to imagine. Maybe you have just been hiding from them behind Doug. Maybe it's easier to hide than to work at making new friends. Maybe if you are more willing to like and accept them, they may react the same way. I really think it's worth a try." Teddy sat and thought about it for a little while.
"There's a new kid my age who moved in around the block just before school let out." Teddy told me. "He must be going to the high school this year too. Do you think if I got to know him, I could bring him over to swim in the pool ?"
"I think that would be a great idea." I responded. "If I'm not home, maybe you should ask your `big brother' to watch you while you're both in the pool. That way you could show him off to your new friend."
"Gee, thanks Josh." he enthused. "That's a super idea. I'll see you later, Josh" In a matter of seconds Teddy was gone. Doug stuck his head around the corner of the door.
"I just was passing by. Thanks from me too, Josh."
