Nile and Spider had been playing a drinking game and it was safe to say that they were very, very drunk by the time they all decided to depart. "They're both wrecked." Trevor said as Nile slung an arm around him. "We need to get them home." Lion held Spider up as Trevor glanced at Nick who was clearly finding the situation tremendous fun. "How?" Trevor asked. "They both live at opposite sides of town?" Lion grumbled and mentally reminded himself not to let them play drinking games again. "I'll walk with Jason." Nick offered. "He lives near me anyway." "Gerroff me!" Spider stepped away from Lion. "I can walk on my own!" He took a few shaky steps and fell into a bush. Lion sighed as he hauled him up again. "Message me when you get him home yeah?" Lion said to Nick who nodded. "Come on Nile, let's get you home." Nile was slightly steadier on his feet and walked after Lion, telling Trevor that he loved him. Nick walked with Spider who was weaving wildly. He tried and failed to light a cigarette three times before Nick took it off him and lit it, taking a drag and handing it back. "Din' know you smoked." Spider slurred. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me Jason." Nick smiled. "But I don't smoke -- just for the record." Spider took a drag then scowled "I dun feel s'good." He promptly vomited in a garden -- Nick pulled him away horrified. " God, you're so drunk!" Nick laughed. " I'm not!" Spider stood still but swayed. "Come on." Nick carried on and Spider followed talking to himself and occasionally vomiting in gardens on the way, which would send Nick scurrying back to pull him onwards. Spider was all vomited out as they got towards Jason's home -- Nick was thankful that he wasn't singing, the houses in this neighbourhood awed him. The money talked here. "Which is yours?" "This one!" Spider waved vaguely. Nick sighed They walked up to one of them and Spider gave Nick the key, knowing there was no way he'd get it open. Once they were inside Spider attempted to head to his room, falling over the cat and up the stairs in the process. When he managed to get to the first floor he went to brush his teeth -- shushing Nick as he did so. Nick stood at the door and sent Lion a text to tell him that he'd got him home safely and was amused to get a reply which informed him that Nile had vomited on Lion's shoes. Spider wandered back into his room as a sound from up the hall was heard. John appeared at the door. "Hello." Josh grinned. "Had a few drinks?" "No." Spider frowned. Josh looked questioningly at Nick. "Drinking games with Nile." Nick smiled. "Now you're here safely I'll get off home." "It's one forty-five." Josh said. " Stay over -- he can make up the sofa bed. That'll be a laugh." "Pfft. Easy." Spider stumbled in the direction of his sofa. Josh just laughed to himself. "Casey will expect you to be at school tomorrow so try to sleep it off." Josh went back to bed. Spider grumbled and tried to pull out the bed. Nick offered to help but Spider declared he could do it. When he finally succeeded he cheered to himself and sat on his own bed -- trying to get the buttons of his shirt undone. Nick sat beside him and undid them, Spider watched him. "You're pretty." Spider smiled. Nick snorted and undid the last button. Spider held his wrist and looked at him seriously. He said very soberly " You really are. I know you think you're nothin' compared to Trevor but you really are pretty." "And you're drunk." Nick smiled at him. Spider kissed him very softly, lips barely lingering on Nick's for more than a second. Nick went to his bed and tried to sleep, hoping that little incident would be forgotten in the morning. - Spider woke to see the clock on his bedside table proudly declaring seven zero three. He grunted and sat up -- his head throbbed and he held it hissing to himself. Nick was awake and dressed, he grinned at him. "Morning." Nick watched him rub his eyes. "Oh god I feel like shit." Spider moaned. "With what you drunk last night I am not surprised. Remember much?" Nick resisted the urge to laugh. Spider shook his head, hissing more and went for a quick shower, hoping it might make him feel a bit more alive. Nick took this time to look around Spider's room. It was huge, he expected nothing less from the rich family. His walls were covered with photos -- mostly of Casey and Josh, it was clear Jason thought highly of the two. There were also three big, professional photos on the wall -- they were of Spider, Lion and Nile, Spider Casey and Josh and then Spider and a girl. He wondered who she was -- Spider obviously liked her to keep a photo like that up. Spider came back in and saw him looking at his photos. " Who's that?" "That's Jen -- my sister." Spider told him. " She came over for a visit a while ago." Spider took him down to where Casey was making breakfast. "Morning Spi." Casey smiled at him. "Morning." Spider sat at the table. "How do you feel?" Casey leant on the counter. "Like death." Spider poured some orange. "Serves you right." Casey grinned and went back to cooking. " New person -- breakfast?" "This is Nick, he helped me home." Spider told him, feeling sick with the smell of bacon. "Bacon sandwich?" Casey offered. "Sure -- thanks." Nick smiled. "Oh thank god, you're not a veggie." Casey handed him one. " It's hard making Lion breakfast. Do you want anything Spi?" "No. I feel sick." Spider grumbled. "Okay - you get something later though?" Casey fussed. Spider nodded. Josh came in with a coffee and nosed into Casey's hair lovingly, there was obviously a lot of love in this house. He turned to Spider and asked if they wanted a lift to school. "I think the walk will do me good." Spider grumbled. " Do you need to go to yours?" He asked Nick who nodded. "I can show you where you were sick." Nick grinned. "Oh god." Spider put his head on the table. " Why did you let me get into that state?" "For my own amusement." Nick smiled. " Plus you and Nile were having a great time, it seemed a shame to stop you." Spider grumbled more and they got ready to go, Spider walked over to Casey and hugged him. Casey kissed the top of his head and told him to have something to eat later or he'd just feel worse. They walked along in silence for a bit. "You were sick there." Nick pointed in a hedgerow. "Eww." Spider groaned. " Did I do anything else?" "Chrissy phoned trying to get a shag out of you." Nick smiled. "Oh god no. I didn't?" Spider looked horrified. "Nah, Leander got the phone and said that you could barely walk let alone rise to the occasion." Nick beamed. "Lovely." Spider frowned. " Anything else?" "Not really. You did spend a good amount of time telling me how pretty I was." Nick smirked. "Well you are." Spider shrugged. -- Nickolas and Jason Ch. 02 A break down of nicknames - sorry to confuse you all, been writing for myself for so long it's second nature! :D Jason's Nickname is Spider (As his surname before adoption was Webb) Leander's Nickname is Lion (From the Greek meaning) -- "What are we going to do for Nick's birthday?" Trevor asked. " No idea. When is it?" Lion sat by him, aware that Jason was in the room so not being over affectionate. "Next week." Trevor replied. "He doesn't want anything doing, but you're only nineteen once." "Throw him a big party." Spider shrugged. "Everyone likes surprise parties." "Where at? We can't afford to do that." Nathan frowned. "I can." Spider looked up as Nile and Nick came in. "Leave it to me." Lion bit his lip and mused, he knew Spider and Nick didn't have the best relationship -- it was fiery to say the least. They both knew how to irritate the other with the best results. But he didn't doubt he'd do anything mean to him. Spider had been trying to get on with the scathing redhead but it was a slow process. Nick had sat by Spider and was looking at his hair. "Hmm?" Spider raised an eyebrow. "What happened?" Nick pulled at a tufty bit at the top of his braids. "Dick munch over there caught me with his lighter." Spider pointed at Nile. "Think I'll get it unbraided and cut." "Really?" Nick asked. Everyone looked over; they were interested in Spider's hair. "Yeah. Time for a change." Spider nodded. "Get a skin head." Nile grinned. "Case'll love that." "He'd have me in wigs." Spider laughed. Trevor stood by Spider, fussing at the tuft of hair. "What you up too?" "Can I undo them?" Trevor asked. "But when it's down and not in braids I look like a girl. Plus it'll be wavy." Spider frowned. "Trevor has enough hair care shit in his bag to kill off a small country." Lion told him. "I do not. I only have a few things." Trevor sniffed indignantly. "Go on Jason." "Fine." Spider huffed. "Just be gentle or I'll have to kill you." "Sure thing." Trevor dragged Spider to the table and sat him at it; Spider folded his arms on the table and put his head on them, letting Trevor slowly begin to change him. Lion watched Trevor fiddle about, talking at Spider constantly, he was such a friendly thing. He wondered why Spider wasn't bothered by their relationship -- maybe he didn't know, although that would be shocking. Most of the Drama class knew -- it just hadn't been made public. He watched Trevor clamber onto Spider's lap, straddling him, so he could work at the front of his head. Spider held his hips and raised his eyebrows over at Lion -- in that second Lion knew that Spider was well aware of their relationship. "Nick come help me." Trevor called. Nick looked at him unsure. "C'mon." Nick wandered over and sat on the table. Nick and Trevor talked amongst themselves and Spider ignored them and the fact that Nick was very close to him. Trevor was trying to find out if he had anything planned for his birthday -- he found he hadn't and was quite happy with that. It took them a while and a few grumbles of pain but soon enough Spider was un braided. Trevor commandeered Claudia's hair straightners off her and set to work. "Super." He grinned. "Stay there." He went to find his bag demanding no one looked at Spider until he was back. "You look so different." Nick smiled. "You should've done that a long time ago." Spider smiled back softly and Trevor appeared next to him almost choking him with hairspray. He stood back and clapped to himself with joy beckoning the others over. They came and were surprised at what a change they saw. Lion couldn't find any words; he was shocked at how much he looked like Trevor. Nile told him that he looked like a big woman and Spider gave him a shove. "God you'll be the little girl Josh always wanted." Nile teased. "Isn't Casey the little girl Josh always wanted?" Lion grinned. "Looks so different -- how you going to get it cut?" Spider shrugged and waved a vague hand. "Short?" "Yeah, not too short though." Spider nodded. Trevor and Nick walked to the stage and sat on it. "He looks good." Trevor picked at a nail. Nick nodded. "He's rather attractive when he's not sulking...isn't he?" "Huh? Um. Yeah. I guess." Nick shrugged. "Can't say I've noticed." "Oh you lie!" Trevor hissed. "You shouldn't be looking at him anyway." Nick snapped. Trevor shoved him -- Nick shoved him back and they broke out into a catfight. "Are you not going to stop them?" Spider asked tying up his hair. "A fight between them two bitches? I'd lose an eye." Lion folded his arms and watched them. Trevor scurried away from Nick and hid behind Nile. Nick grumbled and went to sit with Nathan -- who he knew wouldn't harass him. Trevor went back to fussing at Spider -- unhappy that he'd tied his hair up. -- "Oh my word! Spider!" Casey gasped. "Your hair!" "Yeah -- what do you think?" Spider untied it. "You look gorgeous!" Casey stroked and petted it. "What brought this on?" Spider explained about the tuft and Trevor pestering him "Are you getting it cut?" "I will be." Spider nodded. "We could go tomorrow?" Casey nodded. "I also need you to help me arrange a party for Nick." "You want to throw him a party?" Casey asked. "Yup." Spider nodded grabbing a cake off the counter. "You'll ruin your tea." Casey scolded and Spider put it back with a frown. "Where and when?" "Don't pretend that you're not itching to organise it." Spider smiled. "Ooo can I do it all?" Casey beamed. Spider nodded. "What theme?" "I am not sure really. I don't know that much about him. Nothing too formal -- Trevor will invite Nick's family and it'll just be some friends and that." Spider went back to the cake he had before and took a bite -- Casey was busy making lists and organising. " We'll need cake -- and something to deliver Nick in style. Nothing too camp Case." "I don't do camp -- I do outrageously gay." Casey grinned. Spider helped him plan for a while. "What are you buying him?" "Uh." Spider frowned. "No idea." "What does he like?" Casey asked. "I don't know." Spider shrugged and fiddled with his bracelet. "He's always liked this." "Well then, we'll get him something like that." Casey scribbled it down. "We'll go shopping tomorrow and I'll make some phone calls." They had the party planned for the following Wednesday -- Nick's birthday. Spider sent secretive messages around and everyone was pretty excited. Casey fussed about with arrangements such as cakes and music and thoroughly enjoyed himself. They planned tomorrow as being a shopping day where they could buy balloons and streamers. Spider loved that instead of party planners Casey managed to throw it together himself -- which normally resulted in John having to rectify everything the young man had messed up, but this time he was sure Casey would have it all set. The two spent their Saturday hardcore shopping for the party. To Spider it seemed they only bought glitter -- but Casey said glitter was a valuable ingredient to any party. Spider huffed and said only in Casey's head where the world was just one long gay parade. They stopped off at the same place Josh had bought Spider's bracelet from and bought a necklace for Nick. "Do you know Nick well?" Casey asked. "Not really no." Spider shook his head. "He's Trevor's best friend. To be honest he irritates me for most of the time." Casey laughed. "He's very blunt and outspoken." "Well, at least he's honest." Casey smiled at him. "Hair cut?" Spider nodded. He'd woken up with what resembled an untidy afro that morning and wanted rid of it. Casey sat in a chair and watched him as the unbelievably camp hairdresser cut his hair. He'd never expected Spider to fit in so well with the family, but he did and he was loved more that he thought feasible. The camp hairdresser soon had Spider's hair cut to a mid length funky style that Casey approved of, he paid on his card and they headed off out into the crowds. "You're not with Lion any more are you?" "Nah. He's with Trevor." Spider told him, he'd long prepared for this talk -- Casey never minded who he was sleeping with -- as long as he was safe. Casey had been with Josh for twelve years and never even looked at another man -- but he couldn't expect the youngster beside him to be that committed so soon. "You're okay with that?" Casey asked. "Yeah actually I am. Leander and I didn't work together, but Trevor's really sweet -- he's good for him." Spider nodded and Casey believed him, he also believed he wasn't upset because there was someone else distracting his attentions, could it be this Nick character that was suddenly on the scene? He didn't want to press him too much -- so he left it for another day. -- "So everything's planned?" Nile asked and Spider nodded. "And Casey's getting a limo to pick him up?" Spider nodded again. "Not his favourite big pink one?" "No." Spider laughed. "I made him promise it'd be a black one. He's roped in George to help decorate, hopefully George will persuade him to get in some help." "What have you bought him?" Nathan asked Trevor. "I didn't know what to get him so I bought him some books." Trevor shrugged. "He's always reading so I'm sure he'll like that." "I bought him a blow up sheep." Lion grinned and they laughed. "Well, you know, he might like it." Spider had slunk off to sit on the sofa, the talk of Nick getting him tense. "Hey Spi, will Jazz be there Wednesday?" Nile asked. "Um, no idea, Trevor did the invitations." Spider bit his lip. "Yeah, she will." Trevor nodded. "You have motives?" "I always have motives where she's concerned." Nile raised his eyebrows. "Dude." Spider scowled. "Sorry." Nile ducked his head and giggled. "But you know...she's hot." "She's my aunt!" Spider grinned. "Yeah, but not really!" Nile waved a hand. "She's Casey's sister." "Don't know what she sees in you." Spider huffed. Nick came into the room. "It would be my awesome bedroom technique." Nile sat on the table. Spider's hands went to his face. "Sorry, I'll stop now." He grinned. "What you on about?" Nick asked. "My lusting for Spi's aunt." Nile told him. Nick smiled, he had heard the two banter about her before -- she and Nile had an on off relationship -- generally more on than off. Nick looked at Spider and registered the new hair. Spider was chewing a nail by now and had paid him no attention until he sat by him. Nick told him that he liked his hair and Spider smiled politely and told him about his overly gay hairdresser. Lion watched them, still unsure if they really got on or if they were just tolerating each other. Some days they'd be happy sitting together and quietly talking but then Lion would see the mood behind Spider's eyes change and everything spiralled out of control. "I got an early birthday card off Jo today." Nick told Trevor. "Aww, that's nice." Trevor sat himself on the chair arm. "Who's Jo?" Spider asked. "She's a friend who moved away." Nick told him. "Nick and her were dating and going to get married and everything." Trevor gushed. "Married? Where did you get that from?" Nick laughed. "Wait. What?" Spider raised an eyebrow at Nick. "You had a girlfriend?" "Is that so hard to believe?" Nick frowned folding his arms. Spider nodded. "Just as unbelievable as you and half the sluts around here." Lion saw Nile tense, ready for a quick run in case Spider took offence. Spider, however chuckled to himself. "I think my cock'd drop off if I took up their offers." Spider chewed a nail. Everyone laughed most of the 'well known' girls had many diseases from time to time. "I'm surprised it didn't even before you came here with the tales Jazmin used to bring back." Nile smirked. Spider looked slightly embarrassed for a second. "I can hardly remember anything from that drug fuelled haze." Spider shrugged. "Probably for the best." "Don't think I ever saw you without a spliff or a chick." Nile mused. "What was the name of that foxy little shorthaired chick you had shortly before you moved? Susan?" "Names didn't matter." Spider shrugged. "Anyway, how did this get onto me when we're talking about how Nick managed to have a girlfriend despite the fact he's a raging homo?" Everyone laughed whilst Nick just grumbled and sulked. -- Everything was in place for the party -- surprisingly no one had blown the cover. Nick had spent the day at school with his friends who showered him with presents and he complained about the fact his mother had bought him pyjamas with dinosaurs on as a joke. The sheep had been inflated and was sitting on Miss Staff's desk -- much to her horror. Nick felt a vibration from his phone and fumbled for it -- expecting another birthday wish from someone. oi wer u @? He read the message off Spider and tapped a reply -- in much better English. Drama hall -- why? Cum2 woods Why? Just do it! Alone. Okay two mins. thx It was stupid but the " "Hey." He smiled. " Happy Birthday -- I could've given you it inside...but you know." Nick nodded, he did know -- he knew Spider didn't want to be seen softening to him. Nick opened the card and read Spider's neat handwriting 'Happy Birthday -- All downhill from here! Spider x" "Thank you." Nick smiled. "Come inside?" "In a second." Spider said produced a neatly wrapped package and handed it to him. Nick eyed it and then opened it -- his jaw dropped slightly -- it was a necklace very much like Spider's bracelet. Nick new that this wouldn't have been cheap at all. "Oh Jason -- I can't accept this!" Nick gasped. "You can." Spider took it out and stepped towards him, sliding it round his neck. Nick felt the cool metal and the solid weight around his neck. As Spider stepped away he found his lips on Nick's in a sweet soft kiss, he gently pulled away. " Happy Birthday." They both walked back to the drama hall in silence, Spider was mentally cursing himself for kissing Nick, he had to stop. -- "What the hell?" Nick gasped as the limo pulled up. His mother stepped out. "We know you said no fuss..." She smiled. "But you know your friends." Nick was ferried to the limo and driven to the nightclub where the party was. "Surprise!" Everyone cheered. Nick grinned and saw all his friends and family -- minus Spider who was talking to Casey and Josh who had been persuaded by Nick's parents to stay. Nick was fussed over with gifts and hugs until he went to sit with his parents. "Who? When?" He began. "Jason did it all." His mother smiled. "With some help with things from Casey -- you'll have to thank him later." "Oh I will." Nick smirked and nodded. The party raged onwards. The few adults who were there mainly stayed in the lounge opposite - Casey would come through now and again to harass Nile for feeling up Jazmin or drag him for a dance. Trevor and Nick were sitting together watching Nile and Jazmin dancing. Lion appeared with a glass of champagne and kissed Nick on the top of the head. "Having fun?" He asked. Nick nodded and smiled. "Where's Jason?" Nick asked taking the glass. "Gone out for some air." Lion told him. Nick had seen Jason only once -- and that was when he gave him a tense hug and wished him happy birthday but since then he'd kept his distance. Casey flounced in and dragged Lion off to dance. "Go out and talk to him." Trevor said -- Nick barely heard him over the music but shook his head. He didn't need Jason sulking and adding tension to the night. " Nick -- do it." Nick bit his lip and put his empty glass down, heading outside into the night. Spider was on a bench, his feet on the seat and ass on the backrest, fag hanging lazily from his fingers -- his new hair cut made him look so much more attractive -- it made him look deadly. "Hey." Nick smiled. "Hey." Spider exhaled a cloud of smoke -- seeing the necklace glint in the rapidly fading light. Nick sat next to him and fiddled with his hands. "Thanks for doing all this." Nick said. "You really didn't have too." "No problem." Spider looked at him amused and repulsed at himself when his stomach tightened when he saw him glance away shyly. Nick tentatively looked back and Spider smiled at him, Nick thought he had a beautiful smile, it made him seem so much different from the moody teenager they were used too. Nick moved to between his legs and knelt on the seat, he very gently kissed Spider, who he was sure would pull away -- but he didn't. He softly kissed him back; Nick could taste the mix of alcohol, nicotine and the sweet taste that was Jason as their tongues softly met for the first time. Jason's free hand was on Nick's neck, very gently stroking him and keeping him focused as the noise from the party suddenly seemed miles away. Nick pulled away and avoided his eyes. "Are you coming back in?" He asked. Spider nodded, taking a final drag of the fag, stubbing it out and throwing it aside before following him back inside cursing himself for yet again giving in to Nick. He walked behind him as they went back into the hall -- Nick's mother tried to get him to go and dance but Nick protested. " I bet he'd dance if you took him up." Trevor said to Casey who happily obliged and dragged Nick to the dance floor by an elbow. He looked at him as they danced, full lips, gorgeous green eyes that where tinted with blue, slim body and that shock of dyed red hair -- he was a little hottie. Since Frank's departure he there had been plenty of interest aimed at Nick from the girls but he wasn't remotely interested in people who hadn't cared before he was Lion's friend. Spider tried not to watch the lithe body on the dance floor but his eyes were wandering back, watching him move, wondering what he'd feel like under him -- he rubbed his face with his hands to stop that thought from even thinking it could appear. He didn't want to feel for him -- he tried to hate him but couldn't quite get to that level of dislike. He couldn't believe he'd kissed him. Hell, he'd kissed him back when he could've pulled away and set him straight. He told himself that tomorrow he would have minimal contact with him -- he'd say hello and how are you? And that would be it. Well, that was the plan anyway -- he'd give it a good try. "Alright?" Lion sat by him. Spider nodded. "You're quiet." "It's loud." Spider waved a hand. "Plus it's Nick's night." Lion was looking at him now -- with those eyes that Spider had always hated through their relationship. Those eyes said 'I know there's something up and I know you're not happy. So why don't you just tell me?' As much as he wanted he couldn't meet those eyes, Lion knew him far too well and Spider didn't fancy explaining what was going on with him -- he didn't even know himself. Casey had flounced back over and sat with them feeling the tension between the two ex lovers. "Loosen up - have some wine." Casey told Spider. "I'm fine." Spider smiled. "Just tired." "Sure." Casey stroked his cheek softly whilst looking over at Lion who shrugged and went to see Trevor. "Sure." Casey left them to talk when Jazmin came over to dance with him. Nile had sat by Spider and they were finishing a bottle of wine off and chatting about the hot little blonde with the big rack -- well they were until Nick told them it was his younger cousin so they switched their attention to Lion who had nuzzled into Trevor's head. Nickolas and Jason Ch. 02 "They are ridiculously cute together. I wish they'd just come out with it." Nile commented and Nick nodded his agreement. The night wound down and cabs came to collect people. Spider had hopped in the back of his ride. Josh was behind the wheel, which was always safer than Casey. "You said 'bye to Nick?" Josh asked looking at him in the rear view mirror. "Yeah." Spider lied and watched Trevor hug Nick in the car park. "Trevor is adorable." Casey commented. "He's just so perfect." Josh nodded. " Nick's not so bad either, he's a bit stronger than Trevor, a proper little twink." "Will you stop perving on my friends?" Spider grumbled. "Just pointing out the obvious, gorgeous." Casey smiled at Josh. That next morning Spider woke to find himself covered in his own seed. He had dreamt of that kiss with Nick going further, those soft sweet lips travelling down his body and finding him hard and wanting. As he thought back his cock twitched and he grumbled out loud. This wasn't what was meant to happen! He sighed and decided operation Ignore Nick was go. Nickolas and Jason Ch. 03 ((((Sorry for such a delay.))) Jason also goes by the name Spider. Leander also goes by the nickname Lion. * Spider did well over the next fortnight. He kept his distance from Nick but not so much that it was obvious that he was ignoring him. They talked when they were in the same room and swapped texts out of school -- nothing was mentioned about their kiss and he was happy with that. Even if it had played on his mind every day since. He wasn't even sure why he felt like this -- he'd never had put himself down as gay. Even when he was regularly taking it from Lion the whole gay issue had never crossed his mind -- he just didn't think that having sex with a guy made you gay. But falling so helplessly for another did and this was where he was getting flustered. He took a breath and entered the Drama Hall -- not much was happening today, they were just sitting about making plans for the holiday, which was in a week. "Casey says we can have the lodge if we want it." Spider sat by Claudia. "That sounds good." Lion grinned. " Why aren't you guys heading up there?" "Casey's redecorating and wants me out of the way." Spider smiled. "We'd have to drive up ourselves though." They nodded between themselves thinking a trip away would be fun. Nick wasn't so sure, a week away trapped with Spider? They hardly got on when they didn't have to see each other much. He fiddled with his necklace and saw Spider glance at him a soft smile on his lips. "You can bring your dinosaur pyjamas." Trevor teased Nick who frowned and grumbled about them. "I bet you look cute." "I look like a two year old." Nick ran a hand through that shock of read hair and continued to scowl at Trevor who carried on harassing him about the pyjamas. "Oh go on. Bring them." Claudia smiled. "It'll be like a slumber party." "No!" Nick smiled. "I am not being mocked by you all!" Trevor hugged him but they didn't let up on their teasing. -- Spider lay on the sofa flicking through the channels but not really paying much attention to what was on. He absently petted Skye who was lying in front of the sofa, big white head resting on his paws. Spider adored Skye, always had since he'd moved over. The big white dog was better than most people, he didn't talk back and he didn't make you have weird feelings about him. Before he managed to get himself into a Nick related sulk Casey breezed in and plonked himself down on the arm of the sofa. "I'm going to see my grandparents -- want to come?" He asked. "Which ones?" Spider sat up. "The ones that think I'm still a friend and smell of cat piss." Josh grumbled and earned himself a shove off Casey. "I might just stay here." Spider lay back down. "You can take Skye for a walk then, give him some good exercise. Drag someone along." Casey kissed the top of his head and was gone. Spider mused over which friend to 'drag along'. Nile was at his Dads, Lion had been dragged out with Trevor's family and Jazmin was at a piano recital. He sighed and tapped out a message. Hey wnt2cum4 a wlk? Sx Nick who was sitting in his pyjamas reading got the message and smiled to himself. Where to? He replied. Ill surprise u. Sx Ok. See you soon. Spider worried at his lip when he got the reply -- was spending time with Nick alone really such a good idea? Well, it was done now and twenty minutes later Nick was on his doorstep looking rather attractive in a shirt that was slightly too big for him. Spider clipped the lead on Skye and they set off. "Where are we going?" Nick asked. "It looks like rain." "It's a surprise. It won't rain, I hope." Spider frowned at the rapidly darkening sky to which they were heading towards. They walked in a not entirely uneasy silence for about fifteen minutes until they got to the river, Spider let Skye off his lead and he instantly went to sniff at Nick who flailed and stepped back. "Not good with dogs?" Spider smiled. "Um, not when they're that big." Nick tentatively patted Skye who wagged his tail and walked in front sniffing out birds and little creatures. "Did you hear about Nathan?" Spider shook his head. "He fell and managed to break his leg." "Oh awesome." Spider laughed. "Poor guy." They got to the end of the path and Spider clambered up the bank with Skye ahead of him, Nick looked unsure and stopped, they had been walking for forty minutes now. "C'mon." "Are you sure you know where you're going?" Nick raised an eyebrow. Spider nodded and motioned for him to follow him. "I don't believe you." Spider huffed and turned round. "You're just leading me out into nowhere." "Come on!" Spider climbed back down and shoved him forwards and up the bank. "There's no path!" Nick squealed unhappily and gingerly took some steps towards Spider who was watching him, amused at his uncertainly on the uneven bank. Spider stepped back and grabbed his hand dragging him onwards and over the stones and sticks. Nick grumbled and fussed all the way over but the other wasn't listening he was just focussed on getting him over and onto flat land. They came off the banked land and onto more even terrain. "Where are we?" Spider shrugged. "See?! You don't know!" "I come here with the dog. It's some sort of public footpath." Spider waved a hand. "It's pretty and there's never anyone here." They walked along for quite a while, Spider kept hold of Nick's hand until he had to go and pull bits of sticks off Skye who'd tried to plunge through a bush to get a rabbit. Nick felt the first few spots of rain and sighed to himself, he knew it would rain. Spider had also felt them and cast a dubious look at the sky. "Looks stormy." He saw Nick bite his lip with worry and remembered that he had a fear of thunder. It had stormed one day at school and he'd sat with an ipod and immersed himself in a book until it had passed. " I'm sure it'll pass over." "I hope so." Nick felt the rain come down heavier and saw Skye's tail creep between his legs. "What's wrong with the dog?" "Um. He doesn't like thundering either." Spider rubbed the back of his neck with a smile. Nick frowned and watched him clip the lead back on the dog and glance into the row of trees. "Maybe we should shelter?" Nick nodded and they found a clear dry sheltered patch. Spider tied Skye to a low branch in case he ran off and sat by Nick who was chewing a nail. Thunder rumbled far away and he saw Nick tremble. "Gee, you really are scared of it aren't you?" Nick nodded and worried his nail more; another rumble in the distance saw his brow furrow with concern. Spider shifted closer and stroked his back softly. " Maybe I can help distract you." He whispered and turned Nick's face so he could kiss those soft lips, he slid his hands onto Nick's sides and felt Nick's own hands on his shoulders, holding softly. Their kisses were very soft and unsure. Thunder boomed closer and Spider felt Nick clutch his shoulders tightly, snapping himself away from his lips to glance at the sky. "It's okay Twinkle." Spider hushed him and tried to kiss him again but Nick was fussing and worrying over the thunder. Spider held Nick's face with his hand and tugged him roughly back to face him, kissing him again, this time harder, shifting his body so Nick was lying whilst Spider was propped up on his elbow. Nick held his shirt but then slid his arms around Spider's neck; he thought he might as well get into it if Spider was, Spider grumbled his appreciation and stroked Nick's side with his free hand. Their kisses where deep and slow, Spider explored his friends mouth with his tongue and stroked his side every time the thunder that was now nearly over them crashed. He could feel Nick tense despite his best efforts at distraction; he stroked his side and trailed his hand to his stomach, petting softly. Nick was trying not to hear the thunder but it was so loud so near and so intense, he kissed Spider back and ran his hands through his hair trying to get his mind off the thunder. Then he felt something he never expected too, Spider's hand had wandered down to his crotch and was rubbing in lazy circles. Nick felt himself getting hard under the others hand and could feel the blush spreading over his cheeks. Spider however didn't notice, he was far to busy with kissing him and feeling Nick's erection grow under his fingers. By the time the thunder was directly above them Nick was fully hard and Spider was slowly rubbing up and down his encased erection. The thunder finally tapered away and gave way to heavy rain; Spider pulled his lips from Nick's and went back to stroking his side. "It's gone." Spider whispered to the blushing red head. "Yeah." Nick felt very flustered and aroused knowing if Spider had carried on for a few more strokes he would have come in his pants. Spider sat up and pulled Nick so he was sitting, and looked into the rain. "Shall we risk it?" "Do you think it's going to stop?" Spider asked. Nick shook his head. "Come on then -- lets brave it." They stepped out into the rain, it was heavy and showed no sign of stopping anytime soon so the two decided it'd be best to head back to Jason's. Skye had turned a muddy grey colour and kept giving them long unhappy glances, as if it was their fault he was so wet and that it was raining on his walk. Spider tried not to think about what had just happened, he'd don't his very best to keep his distance from Nick, to keep him from his thoughts and -bam- he'd kissed him and given him a raging hard on. He felt his stomach churn with the now common upset that went along with Nick -- he glanced over at his damp friend, he was very pretty though. Damn. Nick still felt flushed from the incident; he just didn't get Spider at all. One moment he was French kissing him and the next he wouldn't be speaking to him. It was all very confusing. They walked along the path until they got to the bank that had given Nick so much trouble before. Skye scrambled over and waited for them. Spider held his hand out to Nick who took it shyly and let him lead him over and back to the path. They walked back to Spider's home and he put Skye in his kennel to dry off. "I'll get you some clothes." Spider grinned at Nick. "I'll dry them for you. Think you'll fit into my jeans?" "I think so yeah." Nick nodded, noticing how the drenched shirt that Jason was wearing clung to his strong toned body. They headed up to his room and he scrambled about in a wardrobe and handed Nick a shirt and jeans. He got some out for himself and went to see if he could start the drier -- leaving Nick to dress. Spider came to collect his clothes and to tell him he couldn't actually work the drier, so together they went to the utility room and sat on the floor, pressing various buttons until it sprung into life. "Sorted." Spider gave it one last suspicious look and they went back to his room, he sat on the sofa and grinned at Nick. "You look different when your hair is not all wild and uncontrollable." "My hair is never like that!" Nick frowned. "Oh it is." Spider teased. "It has a life of it's own." He got a towel and threw it at him; Nick towel dried his hair as Spider looked out of the window at the horrid weather. " Why are you scared of thunder?" "Dunno." Nick shrugged folding the towel on the sofa and standing by him, looking at the grey sky. "Always have been, I just try to take my mind off it." Spider looked at him and felt a stirring in his jeans -- there was something about him today that Spider couldn't put his finger on, but it was driving him wild. He found his arms sliding around Nick's hips. "I distracted you." He purred. "You did." Nick blushed, nervously putting his hands on Spider's chest. They kissed and Nick could feel the urgency, Spider's arms tightened, holding him closer. Nick ran his hands through his hair and then back to his chest, he never knew where to put his hands, Spider sensed this and took them in his own, placing them on his crotch -- this earned a surprised little noise from Nick who allowed Spider to walk him to the sofa, still invading his mouth, he sat with Nick straddling him, hands on his ass while Nick rubbed at the growing bulge in his jeans. Spider's hands ran up his back and Nick sort out the button on his flies, he soon had it open and the zipper down, he slid his hand inside and contacted with the warm firmness, he freed his member from his boxers and jeans and began to stroke it as he kissed him. Spider kissed down his neck and bit him, Nick yelped with surprise as Spider sucked at the spot, soon returning to his lips. Spider moaned softly against his lips and before Nick realised what he was doing he found himself kneeling before him, tongue tracing the head of his cock -- not daring to look up, if he had he would have seen a wide eyed Jason, never expecting his little red head to do this. "Oh, god..." Spider said softly, sliding his hands into Nick's hair. He wasn't sure if Nick had done this before, but he was fantastic at it. Nick held the base of his cock with one hand; the other traced a pattern on his thigh as he bobbed his head to take Spider deeper, the moans and reassuring strokes on his head told him that Jason was enjoying this -- very much. Spider felt Nick's tongue flicking over him and leant his head back on the sofa, maybe this would stop him feeling so weird, or maybe it'd just make things worse, he didn't really know, or care. He just wanted to come, he thought about kissing him before - rubbing him to full hardness - that had turned him on so much. The pretty little thing should have done this to him then, god that would have been good. Nick sucked and stroked away wondering what the hell he was doing. He was obviously doing it right, but what had possessed him to do this? He licked the sensitive opening and tasted the first salty drops of pre-come, knowing Jason would come soon -- should he leave him aroused, like he'd done before? That would be fun but Jason might then kill him. So he sucked faster feeling Spider clutch his head tightly and gasp -- he tasted the come as it hit the back of his throat and tongue -- but then he heard a door shut downstairs, it shocked him and he turned to look at Jason's door, feeling the remainder of Jason's load get emptied on his cheek. He turned back, a blush spreading over his come-covered face. "Sorry." He smiled guiltily and risked a look at Spider who was smiling -- not a mocking smile a natural happy smile. "Mmm that's okay." Spider laughed softly grabbing for the towel that was on the sofa and wiping Nick's cheek with it. "God you're good at that." "Am I?" The now clean Nick sat next to him as he fastened up his jeans. "You are." Spider nodded. "Done it before?" "Maybe." Nick shrugged and blushed as Spider went to shout at Casey that the dog needed drying and he'd put the drier on. Then he sat back next to Nick with a smile. "So, who've you blown?" Spider asked. "Um, I ..." Nick became flustered. "It doesn't matter..." Spider revelled in his embarrassment and prodded more, saying he had to know now. " Oh Jason it was a while ago..." Nick flapped. Spider grinned at him and turned the subject onto Nick's dinosaur pyjamas. "You're all so mean about my pjs." He frowned. "Spiii-der!" Josh called. "Are you decent?" "Of course I am." Spider went to the door. "Well, you never know with you." Josh teased holding out the dry clothes. "Casey's mental grandparents think you're my son and want to know why I am not with your mother and doesn't she mind me living with Case." "Aww, they are mental." Spider laughed, he saw Josh glance at Nick and a smile appeared. " What?" Spider furrowed his brow. "Nothing." Josh shook his head. "Just didn't expect to see him." "Yeah, well." Spider frowned, this was why he hated Nick, everyone thought he was in love with him and that was crazy. He felt the hate rise up and shooed Josh away sulking back over to Nick who had sensed the mood change and was eager to avoid an argument but to his surprise one didn't arise. Spider talked to him about Nathan's broken leg and the lodge and seemed to have calmed down. "Can I ask you something?" Nick asked softly and Spider nodded. "Why are you called Spider?" "Before I was adopted by Casey and Josh I was called Jason Webb." Spider explained. "Spider was just a nick name given as a joke but it stuck. Now I only get called Jason if I'm getting told off -- or by you and Trevor." "Do you get told off a lot?" Nick smiled. " Nah not really. Nile uses Jason when he's worried about me and Lion uses it when he's being serious. A serious Lion is rather unsettling." Spider frowned at the thought of Lion who knew him too well. "I bet. He's not to be messed with huh?" Nick tilted his head. "Not at all, but you have to push him very far to get a bad reaction, he's pretty easy going." Spider told him, he sensed Nick wanted to say something but wouldn't so he spoke for him. " Yes, I don't need much pushing to overreact. I know." Nick giggled. "Why do you never take up all the offers you get from the girls?" Nick looked at him. "You get so many but you brush them off, I thought popular people like you slept about." "The thing is -- lets not dance around it -- Casey is a multi millionaire. A rather unconventional one, he's not one to buy things for thousands that he doesn't need. But everyone knows this, everyone thinks because he is loaded I must be and most of the girls are after a slice of that. They don't want me; they certainly don't want a relationship. They want a shot at the cash or a story to sell to a crap gossip magazine." Spider sighed. "So I'd rather be alone until I find someone with better morals. Plus this is the first time I've really been single here. I met Lion when he moved a few months after me and well...you know." Nick nodded. He didn't think Spider had ever talked to him this much before. "I don't love very well. I haven't had the best childhood and I can't give affection well. The only people I can trust completely are Casey and Josh." "I understand." Nick smiled softly. A weight seemed to have lifted from Spider and he was in rather good spirits right up to when Nick was wanted at home. Josh needed to drop something off at Greg's so he drove him -- it'd keep him dry and let Casey talk to Spider. Spider walked into the kitchen and saw Casey sitting at the table, he pushed a chair out and motioned that he sat, he did so and looked questioningly at him. "Want to talk?" Casey asked. "What about?" Spider frowned. Casey looked at him knowingly. The years he had spent caring for this young man had allowed him to observe everything about him. He could read him like a book and knew when something was troubling him. "Nick." He finally said. "No." Spider shook his head firmly. "There's nothing to talk about." Spider watched as Casey's eyebrow rose, he knew Casey was concerned, he was never one to pry into his business, but he was obviously worried about him. "I want to hate him, I can't stand feeling like this." He placed his head in his hands. "But I'll deal with it." Casey stroked his head softly. "I just need him to stay away from me." "You can't help who you love." Casey stated. "And you can't help who loves you." He sat with him awhile before leaving him with his own confused thoughts. Nickolas and Jason Ch. 04 "Hey." Spider said softly. Nick looked up and Spider motioned at his bed. "What?" Nick looked puzzled. "Sleep with me tonight -- lets do this right." Spider slid into his bed and was happy that Nick soon snuggled in beside him, they cuddled up and soon sleep took them. Nickolas and Jason Ch. 05 [[[So sorry for the delay, will try to be faster with the next chapter but life is very busy! Thank you SO SO SO much for the feedback, you rock. Jason goes by the nickname Spider Leander goes by the nickname Lion.]]] * Nick woke and rubbed an eye, realising that he was still cuddled up to Jason. He'd half expected him to have fled as soon as he could. Spider smiled at him and stroked his hair. "What time is it?" Nick yawned. "Just gone ten." Spider told him. "You okay?" Nick took it that Spider actually meant 'are you okay with the fact I screwed your brains out last night?' "Yeah, I am." Nick nodded. "Think I'll shower." Spider gave him one last cuddle and let him go before getting up himself and pulling on some jeans. "Jason..." He said quietly. "When you got the stuff out of the draw why did you laugh?" Spider leant over and grabbed a crumbled piece of paper and handed it to him. In Casey's perfect handwriting 'Be Good x' had been written on it. Nick smiled and carried onto the shower. Once he was into the cascading hot water he allowed himself some time to think. Just what was going on with Spider recently? At first he'd thought that the sex was going to be rough and one sided but he was pleasantly surprised that Spider had made it quite loving and made sure he'd come. He'd even taken measures to protext himself and lube up. Nick felt his cock twitch as he thought of Spider sliding into him, his muscles firstly resisting then allowing and that exquisite pleasure that came with it. He sighed and leant on the tiled wall he was now fully erect and he grasped his shaft with his hand, slowly moving it up and down, thinking of how Spider moved on top of him, how his body moved, how his hips and ass rocked with the constant thrusts, how his lids became heavy as his orgasm approached, how his sensual bottom lip flushed pink as he came, his face looking more beautiful than ever and then he was spilling into his hand, the water began to wash it away and he grumbled to himself, this was all too surreal. Spider wanted a fag and a coffee -- then he could sit with his own thoughts and try to work something out. He headed into the kitchen and flicked the coffee machine, leaning on the counter and fiddling with his lighter as he waited. Nile, who had been commanded to make scrambled eggs for Trevor, was at the oven talking to Lion. "Morning." Lion smiled and went to stand next to him. "Oo ouch." He touched Spider's chest softly and Spider looked down to see three angry red scratches. "How'd you do that?" Nile asked. "No idea." Spider shrugged. "Probably did it in my sleep." He poured his coffee whilst Nile and Lion swapped silent glances. As he headed outside, fag in mouth, he saw Jazmin come down the stairs. "Morning Jazz." He grinned. "Morning Spi -- a fag and coffee isn't breakfast you know." She teased. "Can't you talk to him?" Lion asked Nile. "Me? Why me?" Nile frowned. "You're his best friend." Lion said. "He tells you everything." "Yeah only when he wants too." Nile poked at Trevor's eggs. "But I might, just to see what's going on with him." A freshly showered Nick came down and sat in an armchair. "I'm sure it's something to do with Nick." Nile said to himself as Trevor appeared -- he grinned at Lion and Nile but then saw Nick, instead of going for a cuddle off Lion he clambered on the armchair Nick was in and cuddled up to him, fussing as he did so. "See? Something's definitely up." Lion commented. Nile nodded. "Are you okay?" Trevor asked Nick. "Yeah, just tired." Nick smiled -- he wasn't exactly lying. Nile came over with Trevor's breakfast. "Want some?" Trevor offered. Nick shook his head and went to make a coffee; Jason came back in and took a donut from the tin on the side. "Spi -- did Casey come up here?" Nile asked. "Yeah he stocked it up with food." Spider nodded offering Nick a donut -- he refused this too. " Why?" "Well, I went to put my phone in the draw of the cabinet and there's a box of condoms with a note saying 'Get her pregnant and I'll kill you'". Nile explained. "Oh awesome." Spider grinned. "He knows what you're like." "Cheeky sod." Nile took the donut off him. "You'll get fat." Spider laughed and went to get changed. "He's in good spirits today." "Good." Lion smiled. " Let's see how long it lasts." Spider saw Nick appear as he pulled a shirt from the wardrobe. "Sorry about that." He pointed at Spider's scratched chest. "Ah no problem. Things like that happen." Spider smiled. "I didn't hurt you did I?" "No." Nick shook his head softly and went back to the lounge. Spider wanted to ask if he'd enjoyed it, but he was too scared to bring it up anymore. He hoped he could just forget it. They spent most of that morning just sitting about and talking, Spider sat with Claudia and very subtly flirted with her. They all knew that Claudia had a slight crush on Spider despite being in a relationship with Nathan. She swore she'd never act on it and many times Nile had told Spider off for making suggestions to her. Spider just shrugged it off and said it was harmless fun and Nathan didn't even realise he was doing it. Spider also spent a good majority of his time harassing Nick; he just couldn't help himself -- it wasn't mean harassing, he just wanted to be around him today but he couldn't let the others know that. They decided to go for a walk through the woods; Nile found a wheelbarrow and sat Nathan in it so he could come along, much to Nathan's amusement. The walk was more stressful then they had imagined because Trevor disliked nature and bugs and spent much of his time squealing. Lion had grown to ignore him and just carried on walking. They came upon a clearing and sat down, Trevor was almost sobbing with hate when he saw a worm, which made everyone else laugh. "It's not funny. Worms are nasty." Trevor pouted and felt the first few spots of rain on his skin. "And now it's raining which means there will be more of them!" The rain began to fall heavier and Nathan's wheelbarrow filled up. Spider suggested just tipping him out and making a run for it but Nathan protested. "Lets just head back." Claudia said glancing between her boyfriend and Spider's wet body. "My hair will frizz." Nick glanced at her when she eyed up Jason again and she blushed and returned to fussing over Nathan. "She's into you." Nick commented. "I know." Spider nodded with a smile. "Would you?" Nick asked. "Nah. She's not my type -- plus she's with Nathan." Spider shook his head, wondering how Nick could ask this after their little incident. That night they sat around and played a truth or dare type game. Jazmin wasn't feeling too well so she went to bed before it started. "Nile, if you could sleep with one of the guys who'd you sleep with?" Nathan asked. "Probably Spider." Nile smiled. "Hey Spider, would you let me top you?" "Anytime Baby." Spider raised his eyebrows. "Honestly I think you've kissed Spider more than I have." Lion said to Nile. "You should be gay." Nile laughed. "So Claudia." Trevor grinned. "Who'd you rather sleep with -- Nile or Spider?" Claudia went red as she said Spider and covered her cheeks to hide her embarrassment. Nathan remained nonplussed. Spider winked and tipped his beer bottle at her. "Jason -- your turn." "Okay, okay." Spider shifted position; Nick stirred but remained cuddled against him. He'd originally been sitting on the arm of the chair but Spider had said he made him nervous and pulled him onto his lap, covering him again with the throw. "Who's prettier -- Trevor or Nick?" Claudia asked. "Nick." Spider answered and Trevor began to coo so he added. "Well his knee is about an inch from my goods, I'm not going to not say him am I?" "What?" Nick opened his eyes and stretched. "Jason was just saying you're pretty." Trevor smiled. Nick closed his eyes and snuggled into Spider's neck. "Trevor." Spider smirked, he could feel Nick's lips on his neck. "Anal or oral?" Trevor squealed and shook his head. "You have to answer. They're the rules." Trevor hid his face in Lion's arm and mumbled anal and everyone started to laugh Nick stirred and Spider stroked his hair to soothe him back to sleep. Trevor watched from behind Lion's arm, he noticed they were getting on very well. "Go on Jason. Kiss him, I dare you." Trevor smiled. Spider laughed and shook his head. "Aww go on." "No, he's asleep." Spider shook his head again. "It's the only time he's quiet." "A dare's a dare." Nile smirked. "Get him kissed." Spider sighed and put his beer bottle down; lowering his head he gently pressed his lips to the pretty redhead's, gently nudging them apart with his tongue. Nick stirred, confused at first, then responded to the familiar tongue that slid into his mouth, his hand went to Spider's chest as Spider's held his sides, Nile's eyes went wide as he saw Nick's hand fall at the same spot the angry red scratches were at on his chest. Lion looked at him puzzled and he just shook his head, surely Spider hadn't...no he wouldn't have. Though he was getting into kissing Nick, Nile decided it must be the drink. "They've so done that before." Trevor hissed at Nile. The two stopped kissing and Nick snuggled back under his chin. That was the last close contact the two had that holiday, Spider remained in a playful mood for the most part and got along well with Nick -- they never discussed their night of passion. -- Spider was up to his old ways, some days passed without him talking to Nick and sometimes he'd be all over him. Nick learned to take it in his stride, let Spider sulk when he wanted to and talk to him when he was feeling more playful. The drama hall door clicked and opened, it could only be Nick coming in as everyone else was already there. It was Nick, tears pouring down his cheeks and looking very pale. Everyone looked up shocked but didn't move they were too stunned. Spider's head told him to not move but his heart had already spoken and he was walking across to him, arms enfolding him into a hug, nuzzling into his head and asking him softly what was up. Nick sniffed and wiped his eyes with his too-long sleeve. "There's been an accident." Nick said hoarsely. "My brother...they don't think he'll make it through." He felt more tears escape. "He overdosed..." Spider hugged him tighter and everyone else came over to comfort him. "I have to go, my parents are collecting me, and we're going to drive up." He sniffed. Trevor and Spider walked him out to the car park. "I'll let you know what happens." Trevor nodded mutely and they waved him off. Spider put an arm around Trevor's shoulders and they walked back to the hall where everyone was quiet and shocked. Then Spider did something he'd not done in a while; he went over to Nile for a hug, cuddling into him, Nile happily obliged. "His brother..." Spider asked after a few minutes of silence. "Junkie." Trevor said quietly. "But Nick idolised him -- thought he was wonderful. He'd always tell him he was going straight and that he'd clean up his act. I wonder what'll happen if he dies?" "We'll have to look after him." Spider mumbled and placed his head on Nile's shoulder; Nile traced his back with a hand and kissed the top of his head. Lion mentally grumbled, he was sure that Spider and Nile had a history, the way they were sometimes hinted that they were old lovers who knew each other well. Even when Nile hugged him he seemed to know exactly how Spider's body moved and responded. But it wasn't time to think about that; it was time to worry about Nick. Miss Staff came in and they told her, she sat at her desk and frowned -- she had grown close to these people and was saddened to see bad things happen to them. Trevor's phone cut through the silence, he read his message and his face drained of colour. "He's dead." He said. The room groaned sadly. "He's not going up anymore, apparently he was in a bit of a state so his parent's are going up to sort it out. But he wont be in for a while." "We can't just leave him on his own." Nathan frowned. "You should draw up a rota and visit him daily. He'll need time to grieve but he might get depressed if he's on his own." Miss Staff suggested. "You lot visiting him might just keep him going." They all agreed and Trevor began to plan. Spider was edgy when they decided when he would visit him, he didn't really want to go Nick visiting he wouldn't know what to say. But Lion snorted and said they would all have to make an effort. Spider scowled at him but accepted it, he was sure he could get out by only spending an hour or so there. Nick didn't want to see anyone; he wanted to sit on his bed and cry. That is what he did most of the time. He enjoyed his friends coming round but found it hard to be friendly when he felt so bad. The others didn't know what to do, they didn't know how to bring up the situation or what to say, they just did what they thought was right. Spider looked at the time, it was only ten, normally he'd spend another hour or so with Casey or Josh but he was on Nick watch the next day and it was his turn to try to get him to leave the house. He'd been round twice in the last week and Nick hadn't really said a word to him, just sat on the sofa looking lost. He started to set off up the stairs when the rains got heavier; he paused and listened to the thunder. Casey came from the kitchen and stopped to look at him. His little boy looked so confused these days. "Okay Spi?" "Uh yeah," He nodded "it's just that Nick's got a phobia of thunder." "Oh." Casey watched as he turned away and smiled to himself. "Is he still alone?" Spider nodded. "Pack a bag, I'll drive you round." Spider smiled and ran up to his room grabbing the bare essentials and heading back down shouting 'bye to Josh as he did so. Fifteen minutes later he let himself into Nick's house, Nick hadn't bothered locking the door, waving 'bye at Casey from the porch. He climbed the stairs and went to Nick's room -- pushing open the door and stepping quietly inside. Nick was huddled in his bed looking small and terrified. Spider put his bag down and undressed to his boxers, silently sliding into Nick's bed. Before he'd even pulled up the covers Nick was cuddling into him, nose under his chin, his body cold against Spider's and trembling with fear. Spider did his best to soothe him and as he stroked his hair Nick felt himself fall in love with Spider. Just turning up without being asked meant so much to him in his current state. Spider hushed him when he whimpered, Nick pressed himself against Spider's touch and held back the tears that threatened. Spider rolled onto his back pulling Nick to lie on his chest, being softly reassured by the rhythm of his heartbeat his lids growing heavy. Spider felt his breathing steady as he began to fall asleep. Just as Spider was falling asleep himself he heard Nick whisper. "Thank you." Nickolas and Jason Ch. 06 The next morning Nick woke alone, wondering if he'd dreamt Spider coming to see him in the night. He glanced around the room and saw Spider's bag. Soon enough he came back in, handing Nick a coffee. He was shocked at how gaunt Nick looked, his eyes were red with bags and his once wild hair was lank, hanging on his cheek and neck. By the look of him he had no intention of moving. "You going to move today huh? Everyone wants to see you. Miss Staff's worried." Nick just swallowed and looked at his cup Spider watched him for a while then left the room and plodded down the landing. Nick wondered if he'd finally worn out his patience, he glanced out of the window; it was starting to brighten up. He put his cup on his table and sighed to himself. Spider came back in and tugged the duvet off the bed and scooped Nick up. Nick protested softly as Spider carried him to the bathroom and pointed at the full bath. "You'll feel so much better after a bath." Spider said. "I'll tidy your room." Nick undressed and got into the hot water he lowered himself in and felt the water relaxing his muscles, this did feel good. He soaked himself for a while then washed his body, loving the feeling of getting clean. When he was satisfied he climbed out, pulled the plug and wrapped a towel around his waist and trotted back into his bedroom. Spider saw him coming in, his skin damp, his hair wet and curled against his neck. A drop ran down his chest, navel and was stopped by his towel. Spider imagined himself dragging his tongue down there...then he snapped out of it. He stood and tried to ignore what was now pulsing in his pants, last night he thought he better cool it with Nick, he didn't want to give him any more trouble while he was dealing with this bombshell, so he'd just support him and be a friend. "Better?" "Yeah much thanks." Nick nodded and sat on the end of the bed. "I have to get in for class, you coming in today?" Spider stood and stroked his wet hair. "No. Not today." Nick shook his head. "Maybe tomorrow." Spider nodded and grabbed his bag. "Thanks for coming over." Nick stood and Spider gave him a hug, he smelled fresh, flowery and delicious, he couldn't help nibbling up that smooth neck, over his jaw and to his ear lobe, which he sucked at as he pulled him closer. Nick moaned softly as Spider dropped his bag and cupped his ass with his hands, rubbing his groin against Nick's softly he walked him back to the bed and as he lowered him he removed his towel, finding his cock semi erect. He kissed down his body, paying attention to his nipples while Nick arched his back and writhed. Spider took his hardening cock into his mouth and began to suck it until it was firm and thick against his tongue. He danced his tongue over the head and gently cupped his balls, working a finger in and wriggling it to find Nick's g spot. Nick laid there, his body shining and the beautiful boy between his legs, bobbing on his cock, it was almost more than he could take. He was trying to savour the sensation when Spider's finger hit a particularly sweet spot and his body jerked up with the force of his orgasm and he called out loud. Spider sucked his member dry then smiled at him in an almost guilty way. "Uh, sorry." "What for?" Nick asked. "I think we shouldn't do this sort of thing for a while...with circumstances being what they are." Spider stood as Nick wrapped the towel around himself again. "I guess not." Nick smiled back trying not to show his disappointment. "Hey, can you give this to Claudia." He held a book out. Spider nodded and stuck it in his bag. "Catch you later." Spider wandered away feeling pretty shitty. He was still in limbo over his feelings for the pretty red head and didn't want the fact that he was upset to influence them. He pondered for a while and after about forty minutes he found himself at Claudia's. He knew she had free periods this morning so he rung her doorbell. She opened and looked surprised at first. "Spider! Hello. Come in!" She let him in and shut the door. "Drink?" "Please." Spider nodded, he wanted to get the taste of fresh come out of his mouth. "Nick sent your book back." Spider followed her to the kitchen where her mother was getting ready to go to work. "Hello." "Hello Jason!" The woman smiled. "How's Nick doing?" "He's coping, he felt a bit better today." Spider told her, she excused herself and they went to Claudia's room. Spider sipped his coffee relishing the bitter taste. Her room was large and tidy, the bed was made with a teddy sitting on the pillows, the curtains were tied back letting in the mornings light. Spider admired the photomontages she had on her walls from their adventures he smiled at the photo of Nile pushing Nathan in the wheelbarrow and went to sit next to her. "Do you think Nick'll get over this?" She asked him softly. "He will cope." Spider nodded. "You never get over, you just carry on. He's got us and I am sure that helps." He pulled his legs up onto the bed and leant back. "It's just so shitty for him, poor boy." "Yeah he loved his brother." Claudia nodded, she was a bit flustered at having him around, sure he'd been here before but she'd been prepared. She could feel her heart speeding up as she eyed his strong forearms. She kept herself focussed on her coffee while she thought of something to say, her mind was blank apart from the thoughts of how hot Spider was. "You free this morning then?" "Yeah" Spider nodded, feeling bad again for lying to Nick. "For a couple of hours." "Want to walk in with me when I go in?" She leant over to put her coffee on the side, her sweater rode up and exposed her pale skin and suddenly Spider couldn't look away. "Uh yeah." Spider ran a hand through his hair and looked at the floor, Claudia's slim legs distracted his eyes, he followed them up to her skirt and by the time his eyes reached hers he knew he couldn't stop himself. She looked back at him eyes wide, feeling the same. They came together, lips meeting tenderly softly kissing each other, adding some tongue, deepening the kisses as his arms went around her waist. She slid hers around his neck and played with his hair. She was warm and tasted good, Spider slid his hands down her back and to the front of her body, holding her breasts and feeling their weight. She didn't have a huge chest but there was enough there to keep him occupied for a while. He squeezed and rubbed them through the layers and then started to pull her sweater up, sliding his hands under, feeling warm skin and then the lace of her bra. He pushed it up and suddenly he was holding them, skin against skin. Her nipples perked up as he fiddled with them, pinching them to draw out moans from the brunette's lips. He pushed her back slightly and lifted the sweater higher, he kissed and licked around her nipple, still working on the other one, then he took it into his mouth and suckled she moaned out loud at this and a hand went into his hair. He kissed across to the other and reached around to unhook the bra, when it was off he lifted both garments over her head so she was topless. "God you've got good tits." He mumbled as he nuzzled one, flicking his tongue over the pink nub of her nipple. She moved to straddle his legs, kneeling to kiss him and let him play with her tits more. He decided to squeeze her ass as she removed his shirt; he knew they were going to end up fucking and it made his cock tingle. He hadn't had pussy for a long time. "Oh Spi..."Claudia moaned softly as he massaged her breasts. He smiled against her neck and stroked up the back of her thighs, feeling her panties that were covering that tight little ass of hers, gently he pulled them down to mid thigh, then he started to stroke her inner thigh, trailing little circles around until he felt her pubic hair, it was shaped and trimmed. He rubbed her clit in slow clockwise motions and she gasped and rocked her hips. He slid a finger further back and felt her moistness before he reached her slit, he slid a finger in and she arched her back, tilting her head backwards, he took this opportunity to suck her nipples more and gently add another finger. He finger fucked her pussy for a while and then he moved up the bed, sliding out his fingers and putting them into his mouth to taste her. Claudia worked off his jeans and underwear and discarded her skirt. He looked at her there panting and wanting, her wetness visible on her muff, them nice tits rising and falling with her breath. "Condom?" Spider looked at her. She scrambled to her cabinet and brought one out, she lay it on the pillow and motioned for Spider to lie between her legs. He did as he was told and lay there, kissing her while she stroked his aching cock; her hands deftly stroked him and worked him into a further frenzy. He kissed her neck, sucked her ears and tweaked those nipples that were making him so hard. She rolled the condom onto his hard prick and he positioned himself at her entrance. "Ready?" She nodded and spread her legs further. Spider slid into her with a moan. She was so hot and wet and tight. He placed his hands on her breasts and thrust into her, looking down at her and kissing her from time to time. "Oh god, I've wanted this for so long." Claudia moaned, arching her back and meeting his thrusts. "You feel so good." "You feel pretty good yourself." Spider panted. They moved together, moaned together and breathed together, Claudia's hand went down to her clit and she began to rub it. "Oooh you wanna come baby?" "Oh god yeah." Claudia whimpered. Spider pulled out and she complained. He chuckled and pulled her to the end of the bed, sliding her back on his cock so she was facing away from him, he kissed her back and spread her ankles with his feet. "Better access this way." He purred thrusting up into her; his hands worked her nipples as she rubbed her clit. "Mmm you gonna come for me baby?" He groaned into her ear. "Oh yeah oh yeah" Claudia was furiously rubbing her clit. Spider put one arm around her and held her lips open and up, so her little clit was exposed, he carried on playing with her nipple with the other hand and sucked and kissed the other. "Oh Spider I'm going to come with your cock in me." Spider sped up and felt her body tighten a second before the spasms rocked her body, she moaned and rubbed herself faster, he pinched her nipple hard and it added to the orgasm, she wailed and shook as she came, the tightening of her pussy aided Spider and he came inside her adding his own voice to the throws of their orgasm. After he pulled out and removed the condom he lay with her while their heartbeats returned to normal. Claudia looked satisfied but worried. "Don't worry." Spider said gently. "Nathan never has to know." She liked this answer and closed her eyes. Spider looked at her naked body and thought to himself. "Yeah Nathan never has to know, but what about Nick?" -- Nickolas and Jason Ch. 07 Jason let himself into Nick's house and took a deep breath. Nick was on the sofa watching a talk show -- he had decided that he'd go into classes today and Spider had offered to walk him in. "Hey." Nick smiled. Spider sat in a chair opposite him and didn't return the greeting. "Spi?" "I had sex with Claudia." Spider said. Nick's eyes widened. "Oh my." Nick felt his heart tighten and thought he might just be sick for a moment, it was stupid they weren't even a couple and he felt hurt. "Does Nathan know?" "No one knows." Spider shook his head and fiddled with his nails. "Why did you do it?" Nick asked, his stomach had a dull ache in it that he couldn't shake off. "I don't know...well I do. But..." Spider sighed unhappily. "Hmm?" Nick tilted his head. "I did it to see if I was gay." Spider shrugged. "She's always had a thing for me and I really felt like I needed to know for sure before I..." He trailed off. "Before you what?" Nick scowled. He wished Spider hadn't told him. Now the boy he loved was going to say he liked girls and Nick would just be a distant memory for him. "Before I ... you know." Spider grumbled. "Don't make me say it." "What? Spider I am so lost right now." Nick frowned. "I'm...I'm in love with you." Spider looked at him uncertainly. Nick's jaw dropped. "And I know that fucking a girl isn't the best way to be sure but I know I had to do it before I give myself over to you. And and and I know I've been a right bastard to you over these last few months but it's just because that first time I met you in the drama hall I could see myself with you in years and that was really unsettling for me and the way I felt and I tried not to get involved with you until I knew how I felt and..." "Spider." Nick stopped him. "Yeah?" Spider looked flustered. "Shut up and kiss me." Nick said softly. Spider sat stunned for a second then went over to Nick wrapping his arms around him and pulling him to him. He then very, very softly kissed Nick's lips. Just once and then looked at him. Nick snuggled closer wanting more. "Well, ask me out. We've got to do this right. Forget the past and start a fresh." "Nick, I want you to be my boyfriend." Spider said softly following each word with a kiss to the neck. Nick murmured happily and let Spider kiss him more. "I also wouldn't mind having you right here and now." Nick giggled and slid his hands under Spider's shirt pulling it up and off. They were close and vocal throughout their lovemaking, Spider told Nick how beautiful he was and how good he felt he kissed him often and stroked his soft skin. When they were spent they lay on the sofa together, Nick wrapped in Spider's arms. "Mmm come on Twinkle, we better get you back to classes, you've been missed." They walked together slowly, neither really wanting to be in the company of others. Nick did wonder to himself how Spider would react when they were around their friends -- he was also worried about the atmosphere between Claudia and Spider -- would there be one at all? He asked Spider to stay with him for the day, as he still felt a bit fragile. When the two got back to the drama hall most people gushed over Nick being back and how well he looked and how were the parents coping? So Spider just sat on a sofa with Nile and watched the goings on. Nick came over to sit with Spider as Lion went to pester Nathan. "Okay?" Spider asked. Nick nodded. "To be honest it's been great without you. Much quieter." Everyone glanced over. "Fuck you." Nick snapped with a laugh. "Well, nothings broken since you've been away." Spider teased. "Well at least I've not had to deal with a boy that acts like a hormonal bloody woman." Nick raised an eyebrow. The atmosphere of the room was tense but the atmosphere between the two was relaxed and playful. Spider laughed and looked away with a smile. "Whoa." Lion said to Nathan. "Did Nick just win?" "I think he did." Nathan nodded. Soon enough Nick was happily chatting away with Claudia and Trevor so Spider decided he could go and smoke with Nile. As they headed to the door he felt something tug at him. He turned, fag in mouth, to see a fragile looking Nick standing there. "Where are you going?" He asked. Spider took the fag from his mouth and held it out. "For a smoke with Nile -- do you want to come?" Spider stroked his arm. Nick chewed his lip and glanced round. "I wont be long, promise." Nick sat with Claudia and the two went out. Spider sat under his favourite tree. "Dude what's going on with you and Nick?" Nile asked. Spider didn't lie to Nile, he never had. "Um...we're together." Spider told him. "Christ when did this happen?" Nile asked a little shocked that Spider hadn't told him. "Just now." Spider laughed. "We had a long talk and I apologised for being a tit." Nile laughed too and then they started to head back to the hall. Nick was on the sofa chatting to Trevor and Miss Staff when the boys came back. Spider spent his time harassing Nick and prodding him. Nick slapped him away and tried not to rise to his torment -- knowing it'd result in Spider wrestling with him and Nick never won. Spider shoved him about and tried to trip him, the others laughed and watched their foolishness. Nile smiled to himself at their closeness and was happy that his friend was settled again. "Come on Twinkle!" Spider growled as he grabbed him and spun him around. "Why do you call him that?" Miss Staff asked with a smile. "Twinkle?" Spider grinned and put Nick down, sliding his arms around his waist and giving him a soft kiss that brought about some socked outbursts. "Because he's my little star." -- The End Nickolas and Jason Ch. 07-Alternate (((I didn't like the original ending, so I decided to do a new separate one! So here is the start of an alternate ending! You can choose the one you like! :p - Rob ))) * It had been three days since Spider slept with Claudia. He had only told Nile about it and Nile had told him off. Now Nick was ready to return to the school and Spider, being the closest to his house, had been volunteered to walk him in. The say before he was returning Spider called round, just to see if he was okay. Nick was on the sofa watching a talk show when Spider called round. His stomach tightened with both uncertainty and lust when the black haired boy let himself in and sat next to him, giving him a hug as a way of hello. "You sure you're ready for going back tomorrow?" Spider said. "Yeah, I have to face up to the fact my brothers gone sometime." Nick shrugged. "I just am a bit upset that I believed his lies." "Don't think like that." Spider stroked his hair. "That isn't god. Just remember the good times." Nick nodded and offered Spider a drink. He accepted and they went into the kitchen. While the kettle boiled they stood in a happy silence. Nick's slim neck tormented Spider and before he knew it he was kissing it lightly. Nick tilted his head further and soon Spider had bent him over the work surface and was rubbing against him as he nibbled on that milky white neck. Nick giggled and pushed him away, pouring the boiling water in the cup. Spider worried his lip and knew he had to tell Nick about Claudia. "Um. Nick." Spider said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah?" Nick looked round. "I ... er... well. I slept with Clau." Spider frowned. "What?!" Nick's jaw dropped and he looked at Spider, stunned. "Hah, yeah." Spider chewed on a nail nervously. "And you're here, grinding against me and then you come out with that? You're fucking unbelievable Jason." Nick snapped. "Get the fuck out of my house." Nick stormed out of the room and headed to his bedroom. "No Nick! It isn't like that! I mean, it was...I ... just listen to me!" Spider ran after him, he managed to get in Nick's room before the door slammed shut. "Nick." "Fuck off. I am sick of your mind games." Nick growled, his voice wavered and Spider knew he was hurting. He looked at the red head that was staring out of his window with his arms folded across his chest. Spider went over and wrapped his arms around Nick, who tightened. He began to kiss his neck again, soft, tender kisses that tried to convey how sorry he was. Nick began to relax and Spider began to kiss up his neck, along his jaw before he began to kiss those plump red lips. They kissed softly for what seemed like an eternity then Spider began to undress Nick, he stroked his chest and cupped his ass. Nick removed Spider's clothes and they stood together, skin against skin. Spider gently worked a finger into Nick, preparing him for what he was going to do. Nick relaxed and leant his head on Spiders chest. Spider thrust up into Nick hard, the smaller boy cried out against his chest, his hands resting on Spider's pectoral muscles. The feeling of Spider's thick cock stretching him again made Nick forget about everything else. He moaned as the pleasure rippled through him and kisses rained down on his soft neck. Spider watched as Nick moved with his thrusts, his eyelids heavy and that perfect mouth open slightly. He smiled to himself and pressed closer to him. Nick slid his arms around Spider's neck and leant his head back on the wall. Spider kissed his neck softly in contrast to his hard thrusting. Nick's own cock was rock hard and pressed between them both. Spider lifted Nick and took him over to the bed. He pulled Nick's legs up to his shoulders and slid in deeper. Nick gasped then relaxed, his body was covered with a thin sheen of sweat and he'd totally forgot about his anger at Spider sleeping with Claudia. He opened his eyes and looked up at Spider who was thrusting into him, he looked at his hips, that tuft of pubic hair, up his toned body, along his muscular arms that were supporting him above him and to that gorgeous face. Spider smiled at him and Nick felt himself blush. Spider chuckled and leant down to kiss him, he stroked his face with one hand and Nick felt his orgasm building, he squirmed and began to gasp. Spider took his cock in his hand and began to stroke it in time with his thrusts. Nick's back arched and he called out as he came over Spider's hand and his stomach. Spider felt his body tighten and spasm and sped up his thrusts. Nick watched his face when he came inside him. Spider kissed Nick gently and pulled out. He lay on his side and took Nick into his arms. Nick rested on his chest and let out a satisfied yawn. Spider ran his hand up and down his back as he fell into a doze. Nick woke with Spider nuzzled into the back of his head. He stretched and felt Spider's arms tighten; he nuzzled closer and sighed happily. Nick smiled to himself and turned to face him. "Hey." Nick said softly. "Hey gorgeous." Spider kissed him softly. "We should talk." Nick looked away from him. "Uh." Spider nodded. "Yeah if you want. About...?" "About whatever situation we're in." Nick sighed. Spider ran his hand over Nick's side and waited for him to go on. "You're going to have to talk too y'know?" "Yeah I know, it's just hard to concentrate with you being naked and all." Spider purred and kissed down his neck. Nick enjoyed the kisses for a while before pushing him off and getting out of bed. "We're not having sex." Nick frowned. "Oh yes we are." Spider grabbed him and wrestled him back into the bed. Nick protested but soon was giggling along with Spider who was tickling him. Spider pushed him onto his belly and kissed down his back slowly, inhaling the scent of his skin, the softness and the way it reacted when his lips touched. He rubbed his hands down Nick's back and softly massaged him. When he reached his pert ass he gently lifted it so it was in the air. He then began to kiss the firm cheeks slowly, feeling his cock begin to swell as he did so. Then he gently spread them so he could see that delicious hole that he'd been in the night before. He softly kissed a trail to it and heard Nick whimper gently. He reached round and found Nick's cock hard and leaking already. He smiled to himself then very gently began to drag his tongue over his opening. Nick moaned softly as Spider's tongue circled round the rim, softly applying pressure so it would gently slide into his body. He heard Spider moan behind him and moaned himself to reassure him. After Spider deliciously tortured Nick for a while he began to kiss back up his back, nipping softly as he did so, when he was almost at his neck he positioned his cock at the entrance to his body and began to push into the loosened hole. He was delighted when Nick pushed back, taking all of him in. "Oooh you want this?" Spider murmured, his voice thick with lust. "Oh yeah." Nick nodded, his red hair flopping over his face. "Oh god, I'm not going to last long." Spider moaned. "You taste so good." "Oh it felt so good." Nick bucked back onto him, he felt Spider do a few fast thrusts and call out, as soon as Spider's hand touched his cock he came onto the bed sheets. Nick collapsed down with Spider on top of him, breathing heavily in his ear and snuggling close. "We still need to talk." Nick mumbled. Spider sighed and pulled out of Nick. He sat with his back to the headboard and tugged Nick up to him so they were sitting together. Spider slid an arm around him. "Talk." Spider kissed the top of his head, his heart still racing. "Why did you sleep with her?" Nick asked. "Oh I don't know. Well. I do. But... I was confused and she's always had a thing for me. It was so easy." Spider told him. "What is sex with me?" Nick looked worried. "It's not just sex." Spider frowned. "Then what is it?" Nick looked at him and saw him look away, he knew Spider wasn't good at this and got embarrassed. "Spider I need to know -- I need to know what is going on in my life and at the moment I am so torn between feelings and confusion. It isn't fair." Spider grunted and got off the bed, pulling on his jeans. "I need to smoke." He said bluntly. "No. We need to talk." Nick frowned. "I...I can't. It's hard." Spider snorted his frustration. "Well you're just going to have too!" Nick snapped and got out of the bed, pulling on a shirt and his jeans. "What is it you want to say? That fucking Claudia made you realise you're not gay but you'll still fuck me cos it's easy? Or that everything we've done has been a mistake and we'll never talk about it again? Cos if that's it then it's fine, I just need to know so I don't feel like I am dying inside every day!" Nick's voice cracked and he felt a tear escape his eye. He swiped at it angrily and looked at Spider who was looking at him. "I slept with Claudia to see if I was gay." Spider said softly. "I know that sounds kinda weird but I had to know." He stepped towards Nick and tentatively reached out but Nick just scowled, tears flowing freely now. "I...um. I..." Spider was obviously finding this hard. But Nick was too upset to care. "You what?" He grumbled. "I...er...I think I might be in love with you." Spider said with a half smile and Nick felt his jaw drop. Nickolas and Jason Ch. 08 "What?" Nick asked. "I said -- I think I might be in love with you." Spider shrugged. "You asked me what was going on." "Yeah I did...wasn't expecting that." Nick frowned. "So." Spider chewed a nail. "So what?" Nick sat on his bed. Spider sat next to him. "Where do we go from here?" Spider asked as he turned to face him, his eyes were red from the tears and Spider felt horrid for what he'd done. "I don't know Jason." Nick sighed. "Where do you want to go?" "I kinda want to be with you. That's what I've always wanted. Just been to much of an arsehole to say it." Spider smiled sadly. "And now I've probably ruined it, haven't I?" "I don't know." Nick lay back and held his hands over his face. "I have so many feelings for you and they're all so conflicted. I don't know what to think." "Shall I go?" Spider stood to leave. "No." Nick shook his head. "If you go I might never let you back." Spider sat back down on the bed. Nick still had his face covered. They sat in a strained silence for around ten minutes until Nick sat up and sighed, he wiped his red raw eyes and looked at Spider. Spider slid close and put an arm around Nick and pulled him to his chest. Nick sighed again and his body trembled lightly. "Oh Twinkle." Spider soothed and kissed Nick's temple. "I'll never hurt you again, I will look after you." "I just don't know if I can trust you." Nick said softly. "Do you think you could maybe grow to trust me?" Spider asked. "I don't know Spider, I really don't." Nick said into his shoulder. "Do you want too?" Spider asked and desperately hoped he did. "I do." Nick looked up at him and Spider tentatively kissed his lips. "It's all going to be okay. I promise." Spider held him close. The next few days were a blur to the two. Nick felt distanced and unsure, everything he thought of Spider he was confronted with a rush of love and then the crippling agony of what he had done. They spent some time between classes together but the two didn't really interact. The rest of their friends thought that they'd just had another falling out. Spider had confided in Nile who had done his best to give the right advice, but he knew it was ultimately down to the two boys -- they had to sort their situation out on their own. "Want to do something tonight?" Spider asked Nick who was lounging on the Drama Club's sofa. "Sure, what?" Nick looked up. "Dunno, could go for a walk maybe, its nice enough today." Spider sat on the arm and stroked his hair softly. "Yeah, we can grab a takeaway and have a picnic." Nick smiled. "Sounds like a plan." Spider looked up as the door opened, happy that Nick finally wanted to do something with him. Maybe he was getting over his insecurities. Trevor, Lion and Claudia came into the room and Spider felt the atmosphere change. Nick withdrew into himself and couldn't help glowering at the girl. "Hey, stop that." Spider said softly. "There's no need." Nick frowned and turned away from him as Nile and Nathan came in. Nile looked over and raised an eyebrow and Spider just rolled his eyes. Nathan sat with his arms around Claudia's waist. His head was on her shoulder and he was chatting to Lion about sports. Spider looked at her and her eyes met his, he smirked despite himself and she looked away, embarrassed. They hadn't discussed the incident -- even when they'd been alone it hadn't cropped up. Spider had made sure she got the impression that it wasn't going to happen again though. Before lunch he excused himself to go smoke and went to sit under his favourite tree. Shortly Nick joined him and snuggled into his side, his unsure ness had crept back and he needed comfort. Spider slung an arm around him and finished his cigarette ten he nuzzled into his head. Nick looked up for a kiss and Spider kissed him gently, telling him he'd be smoky. Nick whispered that he didn't mind and the two kissed. "Get a room!" Nile appeared and lay in the grass in front of them. Nick looked terrified and his eyes shot to Spider. "Nile knows." Spider soothed and leant against the tree pulling him back. "About?" Nick asked. "About everything baby." Nile rolled onto his back and grinned. "You keep him in line!" -- Spider leant back on his elbows and looked at the view from where they had chosen to picnic. It looked down across the city and the soft lights made it seem unreal. They had finished their take away and now Spider was waiting for Nick to make the next move. It didn't take him long and soon he'd sat to face him. "I think I've got things in my head sorted." He said. "Oh yeah?" Spider smiled, he didn't want to press him. "Yeah. What happened has happened. We will just start from now." Nick nodded. "I am glad to hear that." Spider shuffled closer. "But you must be honest with me." Nick told him. "I want to know if you've done anything else with anyone." "No! I have...oh." Spider paused. "I've kissed Nile." "God that doesn't count. I doubt that'd ever stop." Nick teased and Spider laughed. "C'mere." Spider pulled him over and kissed him. Nick wrapped his arms around his neck and Spider deepened the kiss, he wanted to make sure that Nick new that he was loved. He kissed down his neck and stroked his back, pushing his shirt up and running his fingers over his soft skin. Nick's hands gripped him, as his kisses got more urgent. Spider stroked his stomach and soon was fiddling with his belt. "No you can't!" Nick gasped. "We're outside!" "Twinkle there's no one around for miles, relax." Spider murmured into his ear. "Trust me." He rubbed Nick through his boxers and felt him growing hard despite his nervousness. Slowly he rook the others cock from its underwear and began to stroke it slowly, pumping it with his hand as he kissed along his shoulder. Nick moaned softly. It felt so good but he was sill worried someone would catch them. Spider moved down and gently licked the head of his erect cock, his tongue dancing across the sensitive opening before he took it into his mouth. Nick groaned and laid back, his hands found Spider's hair. Spider suckled on his member for what seemed like a torturous eternity, he kept at the same speed and Nick was calling out like a cat in heat. Spider looked up at him and smiled. "Can I fuck you?" Nick nodded and allowed Spider to remove his clothes. They were soon both naked in a blur of kisses and touches; Spider worked himself into Nick, his wet cock glistening in the evening's light. Spider was kneeling with Nick on top, his legs around his hips. Nick moved on Spider's cock fluently and Spider realised that he wanted to come. "Oh, you're liking this tonight baby." He moaned. "Your cock feels so good. I want it all." Nick gasped and bobbed faster. Spider complied and began to thrust up into Nick hard; the red head threw his head back and groaned with pleasure. Spider watched as his body moved, his hard cock weeping between them, the feel of being inside his ass, so tight and warm. Spider began to pant and held Nick closer feeling the tingling sensation begin to build in his balls. He pumped Nick's cock and watched in delight as he came over his hand with a moan and a shudder. Spider then relaxed and let his orgasm flood Nick's ass. "Ooh god." Nick breathed and put his head on Spider's shoulder. "That was amazing." "It was." Spider agreed and kissed his head. They stayed together for w while before Nick became stressed at the point of being naked in public so they dressed and began to walk back into the town. Spider was content with his feelings for Nick at the moment and he was happy that Nile knew, but he wasn't sure if he wanted any of his other friends to find out, so he decided he'd keep it quiet while they got settled. Nick walked beside his new love, he had thought over their relationship deeply. While he was happy to carry it on, he didn't trust the dark haired one at all and vowed to himself to not get too involved as he might get his heart broken. They walked back and soon were near Spider's house. "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Nick smiled shyly. Spider pulled him towards him for a cuddle and kissed him softly. "Yeah you will...unless..." Spider smirked. "You want to come in for round two?" "Ooh now that sounds like a plan." Nick giggled and they wandered up to Spider's house. When they got in they found Casey and Josh talking to George from next door. "Hey George!" Spider beamed. "How're you doing?" "Not so bad Spi, you keeping out of trouble?" George grinned; he was Casey's best childhood friend. "Oh of course!" Spider laughed and took Nick through into the kitchen to get a drink. "Not seen that one before." George commented to Casey. "Is he Spider's new boyfriend?" Spider and Nick heard this from the kitchen and Nick saw Spider go very red. "That's Nick, he's sweet. I'm not too sure what stage they're at but I think they like each other a lot." Casey commented. The two went to Spider's room in silence and sat on the sofa. "I didn't think you were the type to get flustered." Nick dared to comment. "Me? Oh god yes." Spider nodded and put his drink down. "Everything flusters me, especially Casey, he knows which buttons to press." "He thinks I'm sweet." Nick smiled. "Well you are." Spider leaned close. "And I know this because I've tasted you." To demonstrate this he licked Nick's neck and Nick melted. They moved to between the sheets and began their lovemaking. Spider was gentle and tender and tried to convey his love to Nick though his touches and kisses, his gentle moans and his closeness. By the end of the night Nick was shattered as the four orgasms took their toll and he fell asleep in Spider's arms. -- "Spiiii-deeer!" Casey called jovially through the door. "Get yourself out of bed, breakfast time!" Spider grumbled and rolled over putting an arm around the still sleeping Nick. They were left alone for half an hour and then Casey flounced in. "I said breakfast!" Casey clambered onto the end of the bed. Spider scowled at him and Nick just looked terrified. "Scrambled eggs okay?" He beamed. Nick nodded, his eyes wide as saucers. "Super. Bring the bedding down Spi, it'll smell of sex no doubt." "Get out!" Spider laughed and threw a shoe at him. Casey left the room and trotted back down the stairs. Spider got out of bed and stretched. "By the way, he does that a lot -- you'll get used to it." "Will I?" Nick smiled and Spider felt himself blush. "Yeah, you will." Spider nodded and gave him a kiss. "I'm going to shower, join me?" Nick got of the bed and followed him into the bathroom. -- Claudia sat on her bed and thought long and hard. There was no doubt in her mind that she loved Nathan. She may be 'in love' with Spider but Nathan still had her heart and it was killing her inside knowing what she'd done to him, and getting worse every day she let him carry on like nothing had happened. She tried to think of the outcomes if she told him. One, he'd leave her. Two, he'd be upset but they'd work through it. Neither was a choice she would have chosen but she knew she had to do it. Plus a little voice kept wondering if Nathan did leave her would Spider want her for himself? He certainly hadn't mentioned it, but maybe he was feeling bad too? She took a deep breath and picked up her phone. -- Lion, Spider, Nile and Trevor were in the Drama Hall. Nick had excused himself to take a phone call so he wasn't there when the door flew open and in stormed Nathan when he joined the room he saw Nathan confronting Spider. "You fucked my girlfriend you little rat!" Nathan raged. "Whoa whoa woah!" Spider waved his hands. "It was a total mistake it wasn't meant to happen!" Lion and Trevor looked totally shocked as the revelation broke and Lion was too shocked to move when Nathan grabbed Spider by the shirt. "How fucking dare you! She's mine! Why did you have to do this?!" Nathan gave him a shake. Lion wanted to move but found himself glued to the seat, Trevor's shoving didn't even move him so they were glad when they saw Nile go over, they thought he'd calm it down. But to their surprise Nile pushed Nathan off Spider and gave him a rough shove of his own. "Hey watch it buddy." Nile snarled. "It takes two to tango!" "He should've known better!" Nathan stared at Spider. "I'm going to get you, you bastard." "Dude, Spider's fucking GAY. We all know that, she was easy and has always wanted him, it's clearly her who was gagging for it." Nile told him. Lion and Trevir had managed to move and stood by Nile. Lion held his shirt firmly as he noticed his fists were clenched ready to protect Spider. Just then a red faced Claudia came in, she had obviously been crying a lot. "Oh well, look who it is." Nathan took a lunge at Spider and miraculously Nick and Trevor held him back until Lion positioned himself. "Nathan please, calm down." Nick flapped. "He fucked my girlfriend Nick!" Nathan scowled. "Yeah, I know." Nick tried to soothe. "But it's in the past." "Did you know?!" Nathan suddenly asked. "Well I just found out recently..." Nick stammered. "Oh my god, one of my oldest friends didn't even bother to tell me?! Thanks a lot!" Nathan tried to get past and gave Nick an unfriendly shove. Lion found himself pushed aside as the rage took Spider and Nathan was pinned against the wall with Spider snarling in his ear. Nile blocked Lion from pulling him off and Trevor stood with Nick. "You fucking touch one hair on his head and I will destroy you. You got it?!" Spider's breath hit Nathan's cheek and he realised he wouldn't win at all. He nodded with a scowl. "Nile move." Lion said. Nile shook his head. "Well at least stop him!" Nile shook his head again. "Protecting your beloved, how very noble." Lion muttered under his breath. "What the fuck did you just say?" Nile asked drawing himself up. "Nothing." Lion looked away. "Jay, let him go." Nile turned and gently pulled Spider off Nathan. Nathan stormed out and was followed by a sobbing Claudia. Spider went over and sat on the sofa, his hands trembled ever so slightly. "You okay?" Trevor sat by him. "Yeah, yeah." Spider nodded with a faint smile. "I had it coming so I can't complain." "Well I know that I need a smoke." Nile sighed. "Coming Spider?" Spider nodded and they headed for the door, before they left Nile and Lion locked eyes. "Oh deary me." Trevor said and leant on Nick. "What a cluster fuck." "I know." Nick muttered gently. "One things for sure." Lion frowned, sitting with them. "Our group of friends wont be the same ever again." The End...for now. :p
