Step brother becomes my love – part 2

I looked over my shoulder at him, but said, “Okay.”

“When I first met you two years ago, I kind of liked you from the start. But I was on the football team and wasn’t exactly ready to come out with the fact that I liked a guy. So, I did what any guy does that likes someone they don’t want to know, I bugged the hell out of you.”

“And you were very good at it.”

Ben smiled and tweaked my nipple. “Shh. I’m not done yet. Anyhow, I teased you and bullied you, which in my own defense kept other bullies off of you. No one messed with what was mine, even those I tormented.”

“Well, then thank you for that.”

“You’re welcome.” The arm under me came up again, the hand stroking my hair gently. “After a while, I couldn’t hide my curiosity about you any longer. That was when I started breaking into your locker. I found some of your stuff there that gave me the opening I needed.”

I racked my brain for something he might have found other than school work and things from my games online, but I could come up with nothing.

“I . . . um . . . well, there’s no easy way to say this so I’ll just say it. I’m Lord Kendrick, Dan.”

Now after everything I’d been through in the last two days, it could only be expected that it would take me a couple of minutes to figure out what he was saying. Wait a minute. He was Lord Kendrick? My best friend from my online RPG? The one place I used to escape and talk about everything including the bully at school? He was THAT Lord Kendrick? Of course he was, how many other Lord Kendrick’s did I know?

“Holy shit,” I whispered, past conversations with him online rushing through my head. “Holy shit.”

“I didn’t know how else to talk to you, so when I found some of your stuff about the game and your character, I hunted you out. It took me two weeks before I ran across your character. And, well, it was just easier staying as Lord Kendrick instead of telling you who I was, then we became friends and there was never a good time, and after a while I just forgot that you didn’t know who I was.”

“Holy shit.”

“You’re freaking out, aren’t you?”

“Holy shit!”

“I nearly rape you, seduce you faster than you can say Rumpelstiltskin and this you’re freaking out over?”

“Holy SHIT!” I sat up, despite his coming with me, arms still wrapped around me. Ben held on as though he was afraid that if he let go he’d lose me forever. “The things I told you! You – you were my one confidant! I told you shit I never told anyone, not even the people my mother paid to listen to me! You, for the last two years have been my torment and my salvation wrapped up all in one! Holy shit!”

“Please, Dan, I had intended to tell you before, well, this, but after we spoke today and you told me I turned you on which I kind of found out about last night, I just couldn’t think of anything else except this!”

I began to laugh, I couldn’t help it. It was so impossibly ironic, I just couldn’t believe it! How the hell did something like this happen in reality? This was the stuff of stories, not real life!

“Dan?”

“Holy shit!” I turned in his arms and kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck, watching his eyes grow large. It didn’t take much convincing before he began to kiss me back. I pulled away with a grin. “You know what this means, don’t you?”

“What?”

“Todd definitely can’t adopt me and Mom can’t adopt you or this would be really twisted.”

“Speaking of which, was that a car door?”

“Oh shit!”

We both jumped out of bed. I found my sweats and pulled them on, zipping up my sweat shirt as he struggled into a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Laughing, we grinned at each other. I managed to put the bed in some semblance of order as he hopped around still trying to get into his jeans.

He grinned at me as he zipped up. “You know we’ll have to tell them someday. It wouldn’t be right to keep it a secret forever.”

“Yeah, I know, but let’s wait for a while, okay? I don’t think either of them would be able to take this well right now and we don’t want them to call off the wedding.”

“True.”

“Hey, Ben?”

“Yeah?”

“Does this mean . . . um . . . that you want to be with me for a while?”

With a smile and a tilt of his head, he walked over to me and grabbed my head in both of his hands. With a quick kiss, he leaned his forehead against mine. “I’ve been waiting and watching you for the last two years, Dan. I’ve wanted you more than I’ve ever wanted anyone in my entire life. Will you be my boyfriend?”

With a sigh, I wrapped my arms around his neck loosely. “We are two sick and twisted people, Ben. I don’t think we’d make it without each other and try to live with normal people. I think we’re stuck with each other.”

He raised his eyebrow, still grinning at me. “Is that a yes?”

“Yeah, that’s a yes, jackass,” I laughed and kissed him.
