For Passion Conquers All Ch. 01

By: TheRisenStorm



A mid February breeze swirled around the soccer field as evenings arrival brought with it cooler air and threats of stronger winds. Most of the team had already gone into the locker room to shower and change clothes, but Mike had been ordered by Coach Bracket to run a lap around all four practice fields for using foul language.

Even though they were eighteen year old seniors, and old enough to vote and go to war, the faculty never let a curse word go unpunished. Mike couldn't believe how much it perturbed the staff when the students cursed, even the most benign words were forbidden. He thought it silly, yet this was a very conservative school and was right along the bible belt.

Mike knew this was once a small town and had only began to explode in population in the last decade. For the first time in a very long time folks actually wanted to move here. With the new population growth it had brought with it not only people from near by towns and cities but also many immigrants from across the far southern border.

Some of the towns folk seemed to be bothered by the immigrants, but Mike could care less about where you came from or how different you looked as long as you acted like a decent human being, well then he was fine with you.

Looking around the area Mike didn't see Coach anywhere and thought about walking the rest of the way back to the locker room. After giving that thought a brief review he decided against it. Mike preferred to honor his punishment, being the honest young man he was.

Hell, he was tired but they had an important game next week and he figured he needed the extra workout since he hadn't kept up his physical exercises over the last few months.

Not that Mike wasn't in good shape, he had a good build to him with toned muscles and very strong legs. He wasn't too tall or too short and was proportioned well. He kept his dark hair spiked with gel most of the time. Many of the ladies often smiled and whispered about him when he passed by.

A few years ago he was a cross country runner but his close friend John had talked him into joining the soccer program. After his first practice, Mike had fallen in love with the game and never looked back. He had a natural ability on the field and had become one of the teams star strikers.

Finally completing his long jog around the fields he arrived at the entrance to the locker room. Mike paused a moment and put his hands on his knees leaning over for rest and a breather. He was more tired than he realized. Staying up all night playing video games was probably not a productive choice and he swore to himself that tonight he would go to bed at a decent time.

The door to the locker room opened and John came out, he had changed out of his uniform and wore his street clothes. Brown hair just struck out from the sides of his cap, which he wore backwards.

He commented to Mike, "Finished with your penance? When you gonna learn that Couch is cool, but not that cool?" Both chuckled.

"Damn man, I'll never understand this schools intolerance to powerful language! You headed home or are we going to do something? It's Friday!"

John thought for a moment then answered, "I think tonight is dead, but tomorrow is that Valentine's party over at Julie's house. You going?"

"Not sure, I don't really know her or her crowd that well. How about you?"

Smiling, John said, "Well, I only know Julie through Sarah, but I like Sarah and some of the team will be there anyhow. Besides, who cares if you know anybody, I'll be there and lots of hot ladies will be there. You like meeting new people don't you? New ladies?"

Mike couldn't keep from smiling back, "You know I do! But is this like a real party or are her parents going to be there? That would kill it for me. No party is a party if parents are there."

"Hell no! Her parents are out of town. This is the real deal. So what do you say?"

Without having to think about it Mike answered, "I'm in. I'm freezing. I'm gonna go change, maybe hit the shower. You wanna meet me at the cafe in fifteen, twenty minutes?"

"Sure. See you there bro!"

Mike hurried into the locker room, he had started to shiver from the frigid air that was turning his sweat soaked uniform into an ice blanket. Greeting him was that familiar musty and stale odor that locker rooms across the world shared.

That warm air surrounded Mike and the smell, as it always did, was welcomed into his lungs and it sent exhilaration through his veins. The invisible, scentless pheromones that lingered in the comforting warmth began tickling the back of his mind.

As he made his way to his locker Mike heard the water was on in the showers. He really needed to take a shower before heading to the cafe, especially after his extra run. But despite his nice physique he was shy about showering with other guys. He had done it a few times but usually decided against it. He wasn't sure why exactly he felt uncomfortable about it, although in the back of his mind he knew. It was sexual.

Mike wasn't gay or anything, but he couldn't help but find himself trying to fight the urge to look at the other guys. He really liked women, yet when he was showering with team mates he couldn't stop himself from glancing at their cocks. And he liked looking at their cocks.

That alone had made him uncomfortable in the showers, but more than that he couldn't help think that maybe the other guys were also trying to look at his cock. That made Mike very uncomfortable. He wasn't too self conscious about his cut cocks size, which was average, but he had seen bigger ones in the shower that made him a little insecure.

And there was that one time. Mike had been showering with three other guys and he couldn't help but get a full erection. He had turned away from the others and hurriedly washed the soap off his body and headed to his locker as fast as he could. He had seen other guys get hard in the shower too but he was not eager for others to see him that way. Would they think he was gay?

He would like to believe that his fascination with cock was just hormones, curiosity or something, anything else besides what he knew it was. He liked looking at cock. In fact, Mike found he had been fighting the urge to fantasize about touching someones cock for some time.

He had noticed that when he watched porn he was as turned on by the man's cock as much as by the hot porn star. Lately he had even started watching tranny porn. And he liked it. He tried to push the disturbing thoughts aside as he passed by the showers.

Mike had decided he wasn't even going to look in the shower as he passed it, but he couldn't help himself. The urge, the hope that he might get to glimpse a cock was too strong. In the shower was only one person, in fact he noticed that no one else was in the locker room at all. It was just him and the person in the shower. The person had his back to Mike but he knew immediately that it was Eli, the new guy on the team this year.

Mike hadn't spoken much to Eli, he seemed to be very shy, but that may have been because he was from Mexico and while he spoke perfect English, this was a predominately white school. Maybe that made him feel like an outsider, but he seemed like a nice guy.

Also, Mike remembered that last week he had over heard some of his team mates joking about how feminine Eli looked with his thin figure and long dark hair and commenting that he should be on the girls team instead. He had noticed that Eli heard them and seemed hurt by their laughter.

For the first time, as Mike stood staring at Eli's perfectly round slender yet plump ass, he realized that Eli did in fact have a feminine physique. Mike had found himself looking at Eli before, out on the fields, and thinking he was kind of girly.

Mike felt his cock begin to respond to the sweet image before him and he found himself unable to turn away. Eli had just finished rubbing shampoo in his long beautiful hair when he slowly turned around so he could wash the shampoo out.

Mike's heart skipped a beat when Eli's eyes locked with his own. Mike was frozen from embarrassment. Even so he couldn't help but notice Eli's half erect uncut cock. Eli betrayed a small smile and his uncut cock began to grow, rising from the dark patch of pubes that glistened with moisture. Then he placed his head under the shower head and began rinsing the shampoo out. Mike finally got control of his body and mind and quickly darted away toward his locker.

When Mike got to his locker he could barely open it with his shaking hands. He pulled out his clothes and sat them beside him on the bench. He was burning up now and tore off his jersey and shoved it into his locker.

His mind was racing with thoughts. What had just happened? Why did Eli smile like that? Mike found he couldn't get the image of Eli's fine body, and that beautiful smile out of his head. Beautiful smile? Yes, Mike had felt a shiver when he saw that smile. 

It was after the smile that he had truly realized that Eli's naked slender body was not like his own, Eli had curves in places most men didn't, but women did. And the cock didn't detract from that fact, it had only made Mike enjoy the view much more.

And that smile, he looked so much like a women standing there in that shower, his long wet hair and fine sharp features had sent trembles through Mike's body. Eli's smile seemingly had infected Mike with pure animal lust. He tried to decide what to do, would he get in the shower or just change and leave?

Mike left his clothes on the bench and headed for the restroom which was on the other side of the room. Past the shower. He would have to walk past the shower again. Did he really need to piss or did he just need an excuse for one last peek? He didn't care, he really did need to use the restroom now probably from the nerves.

Taking a deep breath, Mike headed for the restroom. He had decided he would not stop and stare again but would just try to peek out of his peripheral vision. Yet as he began passing the shower he felt his stride slow. He couldn't believe what he was doing. He kept telling himself he wasn't gay and that this was just to satisfy a hormone driven young man's curiosity.

He began passing by the shower and with a quick glance he saw that Eli was again standing with his back to him. Mike felt his feet refuse to move. He stood there again staring at Eli's amazing shining ass. Mike couldn't believe that he was looking at a guy, how could a man have such a wonderful ass and perfect legs. Mike shook his head and headed to the restroom again.

He went in and pulled out his fully erect cock. It was difficult to piss in the urinal with his dick aiming to the heavens. He finished pissing and with Eli still in his head he began stroking his hard cock. He was so turned on right now and with every stroke he swore it had never felt so good before. Mike hadn't planned on doing this right now but found he wasn't able to stop.

The nude picture of Eli in his mind was now talking to him, telling him how much he needed Mike's cum. Mike was imagining Eli was on his knees sucking his cock, taking it deep into his mouth.

Then Eli's image stood up and turned around, and bending over showing that nice perfect ass, he begged Mike to fuck him, to fuck him hard. Mike imagined his cock sliding deep into Eli's ass, pounding it harder and harder as Eli begged him for more. Just as Mike was about to climax he heard the shower shut off.

"Oh shit," he said to himself as he clumsily tucked his cock back into his shorts.

Mike was getting more nervous with every second that passed. How could he face Eli after being caught staring? What would he say? He decided he would wait in the restroom until he heard Eli leave. The locker room was quit, all Mike could hear was the pounding of his own heart beat.

Several moments went by and he never heard any sounds from the locker room. He couldn't figure out what Eli must be doing. Then Mike's heart dropped as Eli came walking into the restroom, only a towel wrapped around his waist.

Eli's tanned chest sparkled and his damp, dark, long hair hung loose and teased the sides of his face and brushed against the tops of his shoulders. Long brown nipples stood erect and a slight bulge pushed at the towel from underneath. He too had a nervous look on his face.

His eyes seemed to focus on Mikes bare toned muscular chest for an instant as his small shy accented voice broke the silence.

"So, here you are. I was wondering where you went."

Mike noticed how feminine Eli's voice seemed and then stuttered a reply, "Uh, oh, yeah, well I had to piss really bad."

His own voice sounded foolish in his ears, but he didn't know what to say. Also, he was still standing at the urinal. Not knowing what to do and unable to continue to look at Eli he spun around and pulled out his dick and tried really hard to piss again.

Nothing would come out of his now half hard cock. He felt like a fool standing there. Just when he decided he would just put it away and leave, Eli stepped up to the urinal next to him.

The restrooms used to have barriers separating the urinals but due to the fact that some immature students couldn't keep themselves from vandalizing them, they had been removed and not replaced. Eli stood next to Mike and there was nothing between them but the heavy nervous sexual tension.

There Mike stood, cock in hand, next to a gorgeous guy and he was at a loss at what to do and he still couldn't force a drop of piss out. Eli lifted his towel up and seemed to have trouble getting something out too.

Mike was trying real hard to keep his face forward, but his eyes were trying to get a look at that nice uncut cock. Mike didn't know why, but he had to see that cock up close. He turned his head slightly to the right and pretended he needed to clear his throat.

Eli responded, "You pee shy too?"

Mike was surprised by the question, "Uh, yeah. I guess that's its."

He had been able to see Eli's cock but for only a second. It was still half erect and looked wonderful to Mike. His own cock became fully erect again and he knew Eli would see it but he couldn't stop it from happening no matter how hard he tried.

Just as he decided he would just say bye and head for his locker, Eli gasped and his towel fell from his waist and to the floor. Mike instantly without thought looked over and Eli was turned facing him, his uncut cock was fully erect and the head was exposed.

Mike noticed the aesthetically pleasing shape of Eli's cock and he felt again that shiver of desire go through him, from his head to his toes. Then he looked away again apologizing, "Sorry, you startled me. I didn't mean to look. I'm not some gay pervert. Er, sorry."

Eli giggled, "That's ok. You already saw me in the shower, its no big deal. Its just a penis. We both have one." he laughed.

Mike laughed too, nervously. He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Eli turned away from him and slowly bent over to get his towel. Mike turned to watch.

There was something about the way Eli was doing this, bending over really slowly and keeping his legs, which were about shoulder length apart, as straight as he could.

Did he want Mike to see this? His heart shaped ass was cocked out and his cheeks were slightly spreading from the position allowing Mike a glimpse of his only slightly hairy asshole.

Mike's eyes moved down a bit taking in the great view, he saw Eli's balls were nice and full, swollen even. Perhaps Eli was ready to blow a load just as Mike was.

Damn, Mike was almost drooling from this wonderful sight. Then it happened again. While still bent over, Eli looked back and right into Mikes eyes. Mike could only imagine the look on his own face, he felt as if he must have turned white as a ghost or red as a blazing hot flame.

He looked away, then put his cock back into his shorts and started for the door saying, "Damn, I'm running late! I'll see you at next practice."

"Wait!" Eli called out, Mike stopped but didn't turn around as Eli continued, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I thought maybe you were interested. Never mind. Look, I don't really have any friends here. You won't tell any of the guys about this?"

Mike turned around and seeing Eli had replaced the towel around his waist, he answered with a clear head, "Shit man, don't worry about it. I apologize for my behavior. Hell, I was just curious I guess."

Eli smiled, "Thanks," His voice seemed to get more melancholy as he continued, "I am gay Mike. In places like this it can make for very lonely times. If you are okay with having a gay friend, would you be my friend?"

Mike's heart dropped. He didn't have any gay friends, or any he knew of, but Mike personally had nothing against gay people. He answered, "Sure, we can be friends."

"Thank you Mike," Eli walked toward Mike, who was unsure why. He saw that Eli had a strange gait, almost a seductive saunter. Eli stopped short of Mike and reached out his small hand which Mike took in his own.

As their skin touched, Mike felt electric excitement flow through him. Eli continued, "To new friendship. Maybe you could walk with me to the bus stop?"

"Okay."

They both headed to the locker room without another word, both going to their lockers to change. Mike's head was spinning with all that had transpired. What the hell was happening to him? He felt strange, like when he met a new girl he liked. And was in love with.

That thought made him puzzle over himself. Love? No, he was just having a new experience and he didn't know exactly how he was supposed to feel. He could only smile to himself and giggle over the whole thing. At worst he made a fool out of himself, at best he'd made a new friend. A very interesting friend.

For Passion Conquers All Ch. 02



Outside the gymnasium the sun had nearly fallen completely away past the horizon, handing over the sky to Luna for the night. The wind had let up some although the breeze continued to toss brown and gray leaves randomly about.

Mike and Eli where slowly walking toward the bus stop in the mystical evening twilight. The temperature had fallen a few degrees and anyone with a jacket or coat was wearing it.

Mike noticed Eli only had on a thin long sleeve shirt and was holding his arms across his chest trying to stay warm. They had been talking so intently, well mostly Eli, about how and why he and his family had come here, that Mike hadn't realized how miserably cold Eli seemed.

That's when he did something strange. It wasn't strange to Mike immediately, the idea had come as if by instinct. He offered Eli his coat. The way a gentlemen would a lady.

Eli had accepted, seemingly surprised yet happy at the gesture. Mike kept seeing Eli as he would any other attractive woman and it only bothered him briefly for it felt natural to do such. He wondered if Eli was insulted by his offer. Did he want to be treated like a women?

Mike had took note that Eli was dressed in clothing that really looked like it was made for women, his round ass was accentuated by skin tight blue jean pants and the long sleeved gray shirt, which was emblazoned with a dark blue tribal design across the chest, fit close to Eli's thin physique. Also he carried himself as a women would, his every move one of finesse.

Mike had to probe this quandary, "Hey Eli? I want to ask you something, but please don't be offended. I really just want to get this right. Did it bother you that I offered you my coat? You know what I mean? I just hope I didn't offend you. I don't want to treat you in a manner that is disrespectful. I'm getting the vibe, or I guess you could say I can't help but notice how feminine you seem." Mike stumbled over his words, "Dammit, I'm not sure how to say it. I'm sorry."

Eli stopped walking and turned to face Mike. A large beautiful smile grew across his face as he responded, "Mike, I have only known you for less than an hour and you already get me more than those who have known me for my life time." Eli didn't say anymore and his eyes glistened in the low ambient light as if tears hung at their corners, almost ready to fall.

Mike finally asked, "What do you mean?"

"No ones ever offered me their coat before. I know people say things about how I act. I know they think I am just another confused gay boy. Mike, I am a women. I've known since I was old enough to think. The world keeps trying to tell me that I'm a man, but they don't know whats in my head. I may have a cock, but up here," he tapped his temple, "this is the brain of a women." Eli sighed, "It's not whats between the legs, but whats between the ears that tell us our gender. Why is that so damn hard for people to understand? Hell, maybe I am a third gender entirely. That wouldn't bother me. I just know I don't fit the definition a man. What good are such labels anyway? Sure I have boyish qualities too, but I'd like the world to see me as a woman because that is how I feel inside."

Mike could tell his new friend was not some shallow freak show. Eli had a spark of intellect that Mike could respect. He reached out and hugged Eli, who welcomed the embrace.

The two held tight to each other for several moments. Mike felt his pants getting tighter and it freaked him out again, he pulled out of the embrace, feeling that uncertain nervousness again.

Eli spoke after looking at his mobile to check the time, "Shit! My bus will be here any minute and the bus stop is on the far side of the school. We better hurry."

Eli turned to quickly walk on but Mike gently grabbed his arm, "Wait. I have a car. If you want I can take you home. Is it far? It doesn't matter, I'll take you if want."

"You are such a gentleman Mike! I don't want to put you out, but I'd like it if you took me home. Its not far. Maybe twenty minutes. You don't have any plans on a Friday night?"

Plans, Mike did have plans. He had completely forgot about meeting John at the cafe. He was already late now, not by much, but late for sure. 

"Damn. I'm supposed to meet John at this cafe. I'll text him that I'll be late." he pulled out his phone then paused, "Would you want to go to the cafe? It's only about five minutes from here, they have hot drinks. I could take you home afterward."

Eli's infectious smile appeared again, "Are you sure? I guess I can go, if you really don't mind."

Smiling himself, Mike said, "I sure don't mind. We're friends now, you don't have to worry about that. This is senior year, we are eighteen, we should all be having as much fun as we can. Right?"

"Absolutely!" Eli betrayed some emotion again, "Thank you Mike. I appreciate you being so nice to me. I was terrified to start a new school for senior year. Now I am not so terrified."

***

A short time later they arrived at the cafe, Mike pulled into a parking spot right near the door. He had driven around the lot twice waiting for a closer spot to open up. Eli had protested but Mike insisted he didn't want him walking in the cold again without a coat. Mike could see out of the corner of his eye that Eli had been staring at him the whole time with a wide grin on his face.

Mike killed the engine and reached for the door handle when Eli spoke, "How many of your friends are here?"

Sensing the nervousness in Eli's voice, Mike answered, "Don't worry, just John is here tonight. Sometimes a bunch of us meet here, but this was a spur of the moment thing with me and John. He's a good guy, he seemed excited you were coming."

Eli sighed in relief, "Okay. I never know how people are going to treat me. Now I could use a nice hot latte!"

They entered the cafe which was bustling with patrons. Mike had opened the door for Eli, and again Eli seemed surprised at his overly kind behavior.

Mike thought nothing of it, he did it out of habit, he always held the door for a lady. Then Mike remembered that the last time he had held the door open for a lady friend at this cafe was when he was about to break up with Janis.

That was about six months ago. He had dated Janis for about as long, but found that he didn't care much for her. Sure they had amazing sex, but didn't all young couples? It wasn't that, Mike just felt they were too different. She was pretty high maintenance and at first that hadn't bothered Mike, but it quickly wore on him.

Janis wasn't a terribly mean person but Mike thought she had an ego that was a little too big. He grew tired of that too. So he had come here to end it. She had cried and that broke Mike's heart, but he just wasn't happy in the relationship anymore.

Sometimes you have to hurt others in order to heal yourself. He tried to justify it that way anyhow.

But that was the past. This was the present. He shoved the memories aside as they looked for John.

Some light ambient music was playing softly over the sound system and the air was filled with the wonderful sent of winter spices and fresh pastries. The low lighting set a nice casual atmosphere and red hearts and pink cupids hung from the ceiling everywhere.

They found John sitting at a booth near the back wall. He was doing something on his laptop and didn't notice them walking up.

"Mr. John Smith? You need to come with us sir." John looked up and laughed. His last name wasn't Smith but it was a joke between them, referring to the fact that John Smith was considered the most common name.

"What's up bro? Hey Eli."

Mike started to sit but hesitated turning to Eli, "You want the inside or outside seat?" He did it again, without much thought he had wanted to make sure Eli was happy.

Eli answered, "Oh, you go ahead. I really have to go to the restroom since we didn't go back, um, never mind. I'll be back."

Mike sat down across from John, who was eying him curiously. Mike noticed and tilted his head slightly asking, "What?"

"What was that about? Why did he say 'we didn't' go?"

Feeling a flush of heat, for a moment Mike was at a loss for words before finally managing to respond, "Probably a language thing. English is his second language remember?"

"Actually I don't know anything about Eli. But that makes sense. So how did you come to invite him along?"

Mike was feeling very uncomfortable, but there was no way John knew what had happened. Still Mike felt guilty for some reason as if he had done something wrong. Even though John was his best friend, he still wasn't comfortable sharing the details.

So he tried his best to stretch the truth because he hated to lie to a friend, "Eli was still in the locker room and after I changed we were both headed out at the same time. We started talking and I realized I was running late and figured it would be rude to rush off without inviting him along. He seems like a nice guy and I have noticed he doesn't really have friends here."

"Yeah, some of the guys are talking some trash about him already. Assholes. Do you notice anything unusual about him? You know what I mean?"

Mike chuckled, "Sure. He is kind of, well, he is gay. He told me that he is open and out of the closet. Doesn't bother me. How about you?"

"Nah, I don't care about that. Homophobia is so nineties. None of my business where he likes to stick his cock or get one stuck. Not my thing, but fuck it. Most gay people I've met seems nice enough."

Relieved to hear that, Mike said, "Right on man."

A few moments later, Eli walked up and slid into the booth next to Mike. Mike officially introduced the two and Eli told some of his story to John who had polity listened and asked questions. Mike found himself enjoying the conversation even though he had heard the story before.

He noticed he just really liked watching Eli. His hand had even wandered down under the table to lightly brush his cock, which of course was swollen again with desire.

When a lull in the conversation arose, John asked, "Do you guys want something? I'm out of coffee, time for a refill."

Both Mike and Eli gave John their order and he refused to take the money they offered, then he left the table to stand in line at the counter.

At first Mike felt uneasy in the silence, Eli had turned to face him placing his left leg up onto the booth's seat, his knee lightly touching Mike's right thigh. Mike's cock was fully hard and he tried to be discreet while he attempted to rearrange his position because his cock was facing down and it really fought to shoot straight up.

Eli all the while was just looking at him with those deep brown eyes. Mike continued to be amazed at how beautiful Eli really was, even his eye lashes were full and long like that of some gorgeous woman. Around each eye he had fine dark lines that acted like natural eye liner, really giving the illusion of his gender a final push to that of a woman.

They finally began chatting about the weather and soccer related things. John came back and sat down. He joined in the soccer talk which had them wondering if they could win the next game, which was against a great team from the nearest town and also their biggest rival. The conversation carried itself onto other things and finally the associate behind the counter called out Johns name.

John started to get up but Eli quickly spoke, "No, let me get it. You were kind to pay for us, I can get it."

Before John could protest, Eli shot out of the booth and walked his sexy walk toward the counter. Mike had to fight the strong urge he had to watch that nice bubble butt saunter off. Those skin tight jeans were riding right up into Eli's ass, showing off the perfect round shape of his cheeks. 

John commented to Mike that he was right, Eli was a nice guy. Moments later something happened.

The door to the cafe opened and with the chill air came a colder group of guys. David and his crew of minions looked nice enough at first glance, but anyone who knew them was wiser to the facts. David was a spoiled, arrogant and mean spirited prick. His cronies were not much better.

Mike had a few classes with David last year and had witnessed his relentless bouts of bullying far too many times. Mike was a different person this year. He had wanted so bad to step up to David on more than one occasion when his bullying went too far, but Mike just never could make that move.

This year, Mike was more a man now than ever he had been. It was just at the end of the last school year that he had lost his virginity. Over last summer he got into a fist fight for the first time since grade school.

Mike had a love for not only soccer but also enjoyed martial arts. He had trained in Karate for nearly five years and was now also learning some Jeet Kune Do, the art founded by the legendary Bruce Lee.

John had seen them too, "Look what the cold wind blew in from the gutters. Man I hate that ass face."

Mike agreed, "Damn straight. Someone needs to kick that prick's ass. Hard. What the hell are they doing in here?"

"Looking for trouble as usual I'm sure."

Just as John went to change the subject, Mike saw Eli turning to come back their way, holding the tray that held three hot drinks. He saw that David and his crew, who were now standing near Eli, were looking at him with disgust on their faces. 

David's foot crept out and hooked around Eli's ankle. Eli fell forward and landed on the hot drinks which sprayed out onto him and the floor. Eli's screech sent Mike into immediate action. John was right behind him.

As they approached, David gibed, "Damn freak! You almost got my shoes wet. Watch where you're going you clumsy dumb ass." His cronies laughed, then David added in a mocking tone, "Do you understand English? El comprende?"

David and John came to the scene. Mike helped Eli up and made sure he was okay. Eli turned to David and accused, "You tripped me! You ass hole!"

David took a step closer toward Eli but Mike slid in between them. David looked him up and down saying, "Oh, are you the boyfriend? Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your little fagot bitch."

Without thought, Mike pulled his arm back, loading a punch, he spoke through gritted teeth, "You turn and leave now. Anything other than an apology comes out of your mouth and I'll knock your goddamned teeth out."

Mike almost couldn't believe he had said that but his blood was hammering in his ears and adrenaline flowed fast through his brain honing his martial prowess into a calm collected rage.

He was absolutely sincere that if David said anything other than an apology he was going to knock him out or die trying.

David's face turned red crimson and both hands turned into fists as he replied, "Why don't you goddamn fucking queers leave instead."

Just as the last word came out of his mouth Mike's fist connected with it. Spit and blood flew out and landed on one of the horrified cronies who then took a step back with wide eyes filled with fear. The other crony leaned down to check on David who was sitting on the floor dazed.

Mike still had tunnel vision and a ringing in his ears, but he heard John whisper in his ear, "Lets get the fuck out of here Mike."

Mike shook his head, "Fuck that. They leave first."

David finally stood back up, a little shaky but he stood, "Out side mother fucker! I'm gonna break you in goddamn two! Sucker punch me you piece of shit ass hole!"

Mike screamed back as John reached an arm around him to hold him back, "Sucker punch? I warned you what I'd do. Should have known your fucking dumb ape brain can't understand goddamn English!"

David rushed Mike and grabbed a hold of him, the two went flying into the counter and bounced off it and landed onto the floor. Mike was on bottom but quickly utilized his grappling skills and got on top of David who was now face down. Mike easily wrapped his arms around David's throat in a classic rear naked choke.

David kicked and scrambled and the two ended up under a table sending the patrons and their chairs flying back. Mike was hanging on debating if he should choke David into unconsciousness.

Even in his rage, Mike knew that could be a bad idea. There was a slight chance that it would kill David and he wasn't willing to take that chance no matter how small.

He let go of the choke figuring David should be exhausted and out of breath. Mike was right, David writhed under him and choked violently. Mike raised up to begin a ground and pound attack, not aware they where now under a table. And he raised up as fast as he could, which slammed his head hard on the under side of the table.

He saw a bright flash of light and he fell over and rolled out sprawling in the aisle of the cafe, darkness falling over his vision for a moment.

He felt someone grab him and lift him up. Mike could barely stand as his head spun around, but he recognized John's face. Eli came up to his other side and placed an arm around his waist.

John spoke, "Damn, you okay?"

"Yeah. Think I'm getting a headache. Nothing I can't handle huh bro?" he tried a smile.

"Man lets get out of here! They called the cops. Lets just split. These ass hats aren't worth a fine or worse."

"Sure. You lead the way. I'm not sure which way is up or down to tell ya the truth."

Pushing through the spectators, the trio rushed outside to make their escape.



For Passion Conquers All Ch. 03



Mike, Eli and John exchanged quick goodbyes, then tore out of the parking lot. A few blocks away Mike pulled into a neighborhood, insisting Eli get out of his wet shirt and into a dry one. He fetched one of his jerseys out of the trunk.

"I used this at last weeks practice. Sorry it's not been washed. But it's dry." he smiled at Eli.

Eli smiled back, "I told you I'm fine, but thanks. I don't mind the sweaty shirt. We're friends!" Eli grabbed the bottom of his short and peeled it off slowly.

Mike watched as more and more of Eli's nice tan skin became exposed. Despite that damn ache at the back of his head where a knot now had formed, he felt his cock spring to life. He'd have to take care of that soon he thought.

Eli's shirt came off and he threw it into the back seat, his hair fell down around his face and it looked rather messy. Mike thought it looked perfect, like Eli just got through having passionate, long, heavy sex.

Mike's eyes went to Eli's nipples, they were rock hard and sticking out as if reaching for him. He noticed little bumps begin to form across Eli's chest from the cold air and he realized he was still holding the jersey.

"Oh, sorry! Forgot I was holding this. Here, before you get too cold." he handed the shirt to Eli who took it from him slowly, smiling the whole time.

Again Eli took his time putting on the shirt, Mike was sure now that anything Eli did it would be sensual and seductive. He felt a magnetic pull, magical even, toward Eli that he had not felt for anyone else before. Mike knew exactly where his fantasies would take him tonight when he finally got to stroke his hard cock to completion.

Mike made a quick stop at a convenience store and got them each a hot spicy latte. They said little else on the way to Eli's home, which was an apartment complex located in a semi decent part of town.

Mike pulled into the lot as Eli instructed him on where to go. There was no one out in the chill night air when they finally pulled into a parking space.

Eli reached into the back seat and fished out his wet shirt. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out some cash. "How much for the ride? And the latte?"

Mike looked surprised, "Hell no, you don't have to pay me."

"Are you sure? Gas ain't cheap, Chico. And you have done way more for me tonight than I could of ever expected someone to do." Eli still held the money out toward Mike.

Mike reached out and gently pushed Eli's hand down, "No money. I don't live that far from here anyhow. Its not a big deal." he realized he still had his hand on Eli's, and he didn't want to move it. Ever.

Eli sighed, "Mike, you are so kind. Thanks for everything, especial taking an injury for me. You didn't have to do that. I would never want to see you hurt. Ever. But I do appreciate you standing up for me. Not many people would do what you did for someone like me."

"Someone like you. You are a kind, intelligent," Mike paused briefly before finishing his statement, "beautiful person. I'd do it all over again in a heart beat. Even if it means a nasty knot on the noggin."

Eli portrayed a sympathetic smile, "Oh, your poor head. Let me see whats going on back there, maybe I need to get you a bandage?"

Eli pulled his legs up into his seat and turned toward Mike, then leaned over the center console reaching out, "Come here, let me feel."

Eli's face came within inches of Mike's own, he felt Eli's warm breath on his face, it smelled of winter spice. It felt electric to be so close. He couldn't even speak at the moment, he simply stared into Eli's dark seductive eyes.

Eli was gently rubbing the back of his head, feeling the knot. Mike winced when Eli touched the very center of the wound, were it was so tender.

Eli squeaked, "Sorry! I won't touch it anymore. It's pretty large, do you feel okay? You may have a concussion." Eli placed his small hands on Mikes shoulder, resting them there.

Mike could finally speak, "I feel fine. Not even a head ache anymore."

"Still, you never know. Your pupils can become different sizes sometimes with a concussion, here let me look closer."

Eli reached up and took Mike's face into his hands. His hands were icy cold, but Mike's face felt like a furnace burning in the deepest depths of the earth, and as Eli's cold touch became a warm one, and their eyes locked onto one another, those mighty shivers ran down Mike's spin exploding into his groin and once more his lust filled cock rose up, refusing to surrender it screamed and longed for release, forcing Mike to fidget in his seat.

Eli playfully scolded him, "Stay still Mike. Hold still for nurse."

Had Mike heard correctly. Did Eli just make a reference to a time honored sexual role play. The nurse and patient? Mike's mind began racing, he wasn't sure what to say. He just kept staring into Eli's face.

Eli rubbed Mike's left cheek, leaving it to rest under his chin, "Looks good, they look normal. But if you feel bad tomorrow give us a call and we'll get you right in." his hand came away from Mike's face, but Eli's face stayed right there, inches from Mike's.

Mike was with the game now, he could feel Eli's sexual energy pouring out through those enchanted eyes, "Okay, thanks nurse. If I feel any pain I'll call you right away."

"That's good to hear." Eli's voice was soft and breathless.

Eli hovered there for a moment longer but then started to lean back, without thought Mike took him around the waist and brought him closer. They were face to face again, Eli brought an arm up to caress Mike's hair and he leaned forward putting his other arm around Mike's back while closing his eyes.

In that small instant, Mike briefly thought about what he was about to do. He was about to kiss another man. No. Eli was not a man. Or maybe he was more than a man. More than a woman. It didn't matter.

Eli was an enchanted being from a realm of forbidden dreams. Mike was charmed, mesmerized, bewildered and bewitched. He didn't care what the world thought. Mike wanted Eli more than anything he had ever imagined. His lips touched Eli's and he felt his whole being become complete.

They merged together, tongues flicking and hands exploring. Mike's hands found themselves on Eli's tight round ass, squeezing their plumpness. Eli was caressing Mike's hard cock through his pants and then moaned and drew his lips away from Mike's, whispering for him to lean back.

Mike obeyed and pulled the lever that allowed him to lay back almost flat in the seat. Eli reached for Mike's shirt and pulled it off him and began licking his erect nipples while continuing to rub his cock.

Mike was in ecstasy and the feeling of Eli's warm wet tongue on his breast almost sent him over the edge. He fought hard not to cum immediately. God he wanted to cum.

He leaned forward and placed his arms around Eli and lifted his shirt up and over his long haired head. His mouth quickly moved to Eli's nipples which were hard and long.

Then they began kissing again, hot and heavy their tongues went in and out of each others mouths. Hot lustful breath was shared between them.

Eli then shoved Mike back down into his low seat and turned his own body upwards laying across the center console so that he was looking up at Mike. 

Desperately his hands went to Mike's zipper. Mike's throbbing cock sprang out and Eli wasted no time, he sensually kissed the swollen head and licked it up and down the shaft.

He took the hard engorged rod into his warm eager mouth and began sucking it up and down, taking it deep into his throat. Mike moaned and bucked his hips in lustful rhythm.

Then Mike placed his right hand between Eli's legs, onto his crouch unzipping Eli's jeans, he needed to see that cock again, and to feel it. Eli's hard uncut cock popped up into the open and Mike began stroking it.

It felt amazing to hold the beautiful cock and he felt the urge to cum again. Eli was amazing with his mouth, he worked the cock up and down and periodically popping it out of his mouth to kiss and lick the fat head.

Eli came up several moments later off of Mik'e cock and rearranged his position so that his ass was cocked up and out and he tore his pants down. 

Mike saw he was wearing cotton white panties, which Eli also then pulled down saying, "Will you rub my ass Mike? Please rub me! My ass wants you so bad Mike!"

"Fuck yeah, you have an amazing ass! Damn!" Mike began rubbing that heart shaped ass and soon found Eli's asshole which he began rubbing with his middle finger. Eli moaned in approval and then went back to sucking Mike's cock.

Then Mike brought his middle finger to his face and sniffed Eli's sent. It sent those wonderful shivers through him and he stuck his finger in his mouth tasting Eli's ass. It tasted amazing, a mingling of salt and sweetness filled his mouth. 

He returned the finger to Eli's ass and rubbed harder against the asshole. His finger then slid slowly into Eli's sweet man pussy. Eli let out a long moan and began moving back and forth fucking Mike's finger.

Eli begged for more, "Fuck yeah! Fuck my ass Mike! It feels so good! MMM!" he returned to sucking Mike's cock, more quickly this time, moaning as he bobbed up and down rapidly.

Mike couldn't hold it off any longer, "I'm gonna cum!" he moaned and he pushed back against the seat as his hips tightened and rose upward. He brought his hand away from Eli's ass and placed it on Eli's back who was now stroking Mike's cock up and down vigorously with his hands. Mike stared into Eli's wonderfully deep eyes, then threw his head back.

Eli's accented feminine voice, filled with lust and want egged Mike on, "Yeah baby! Cum for me! I wanna see you cum for me!"

Mike let out a deep moan and his rock hard cock exploded, sending a days worth of cum blasting through the air, his swollen balls finally getting to drain their love juice.

Eli kept stroking as Mike cam long and heavy, cum landing on his chest and even shooting him under the chin. He feel limp in his seat, breathing heavily. Eli began rubbing the cum with his hands all over Mike's chest, moaning all the while.

"Yeah, that's what I like! Fuck yeah."

Mike reached out and grabbed Eli's head and brought it to his, kissing Eli deeply. They stared at each other smiling and breathy heavy. Mike leaned forward, "Your turn. Get comfortable."

Eli complied and rolled back over, his cock swinging back and forth as Mike's hand grabbed hold of it. Mike stroked Eli's cock, the foreskin going up and down his shaft. Eli placed a hand under him and began fingering his own ass.

Mike approved, "Yeah baby, fuck your ass while I stroke your nice fat cock!" Grinding his hips Eli moaned as Mike continued to rub his cock, then he burst, cum soaring up onto his stomach, which rose and fell with each heavy breath.

Mike leaned down and drove his tongue into Eli's mouth. They french kissed long and sensually.

Finally able to think clearly, Mike wondered if anyone had been watching, but the windows were blanketed with condensation. Their hot lustful breath had given them cover from the outside world turning the car into a secret garden of pleasure for a short while.

Mike's fear of being seen faded and he couldn't help but smile as he looked down at Eli who still lay across the console and his lap.

Eli spoke with great satisfaction in his voice soft words, "That was awesome Mike. We'll have to do that again sometime."

Mike took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "Damn straight. What a night."

Eli rose up and settled in his seat while Mike raised his seat back into an upright position. Mike reached into the back floor board and retrieved a box of tissues, after taking a hand full he handed the box to Eli. Both went about cleaning themselves up and then put their shirts back on.

Mike insisted on walking Eli to his apartment door and at first neither knew what to say or do as they stood there in the chilly February air. Then Eli moved in to hug Mike, wrapping his small arms around Mike's waist, squeezing tightly.

"Mike, thanks again for a great time. I'd love to do this again with you. I really like being around you. If you want to keep it a secret, I can do that. In fact, I've never had a real boyfriend or been with anyone openly. I've had a few fuck buddies, but guys always want to keep it on the down low. I'm okay with that, as long as I get to be with you. In some way. In anyway is better than noway."

Mike's mind raced for the words to say, it raced to figure out what he wanted. Deep inside he knew he wanted to be with Eli, to be his friend, his lover, even his partner openly. The world be damned.

Was Mike ready and willing to deal with all the hate and drama that that would bring? Did all this mean he was gay after all? He didn't know, he needed time to think it all over. For now he would just say goodbye and leave it at that.

He found himself already fantasizing about what their next time together would be like. He found himself breathing in deep the sent of Eli's long beautiful hair, which now rested under his chin. Even his cock began shifting in his pants again. Never had he felt so feral, so alive with passion.

Then he remembered the party tomorrow night. He finally spoke as he ended their embrace, looking into Eli's eyes, "I definitely want us to be close friends. Very close friends. Tomorrow night there is a party. Starts around eight. You should come. John will be there. Hell, he'll probably be the only person there that I really know. You want to come? I could give you a ride."

Eli smiled, "I'd like to go, thanks! But, I have some errands to run. I'll get a ride from my brother and meet you there." Eli betrayed a mischievous grin as he continued, "Mike, would you like it if I wore something special for you?"

Mike cocked his head and raised an eyebrow, "Something special? I do like surprises."

"Good. I'll fix myself up real nice for you Chico."

"I can't wait."

Eli moved in and placed a quick kiss on Mike's check, "I'm freezing! Let me give you my number before I go in."

They exchanged numbers and Eli went inside. Mike felt drunk as he slowly meandered back to his car, his mind swimming with possibilities. How far would he let this go? How far would he take it? He realized that Eli had awoken something inside of himself, that hole he had been feeling since he became single felt as if it was filling.

But Mike couldn't imagine actually taking his feelings for Eli that far. And what of taking them out into public? What would that be like? He knew for one thing that his parents would flip out. Not to mention probably ever person he knew would likely react the same way.

Mike knew few people would understand this type of thing, even though he suspected most were actually more like himself than they could admit. Society, culture and religion had a way of repressing people's natural behaviors and sexual desires. So even though some people would actually understand this situation, few of them would defend it publicly.

Mike thought about how silly and petty it really was to care so much about what the majority would think of you that you would sit by while a minority was trampled upon. No, not silly. Just plan dishonorable.

Mike's mind never stopped working over all the possibilities as he drove home. He even had to get out of bed after tossing and turning for an hour. He had masturbated. Finally sleep came to him and brought him sweet dreams of dancing fancy.



For Passion Conquers All Ch. 04



Mike was in a room, and like most rooms in a dream, it seemed vast and expansive despite his inability to discern any details about its furnishings. Other than the exotic deep blue love seat on which he sat, which was speckled with silver stars, Mike had little awareness.

Then he noticed a large white ornate door set into the near wall to his left, he felt compelled and rose from his seat.

As he stood before the door he saw that light crept out from around its four edges, only then noticing the dim lighting in this room. A force inside him told him to reach for the knob, which was large and golden. He turned the knob and then the door vanished, as things often do in dreams, and a blinding light met his eyes. He covered them. Then he heard a voice. Eli's voice.

"Mike. Its okay. Look at me. I am the light."

Mike put his eyes back unto the light, which was now warm and welcoming. Eli stood before him, surrounded by radiance. Eli wore a silver corset outlined with golden trim. It shone like armor. A sparkling silver thong followed downward leading to smooth legs covered by white thigh high fishnets which seemed made of fine silvery thread. Eli's face was a fine canvas painted in sparkling silvers and cooper and his eyes were beaming pools of desire and his lips the color of pure passion. 

Mike thought he saw white wings behind Eli, but then the warm light turned to a hot passionate red hue, and torrid desire filled his senses. Eli's outfit shifted from chromatic silvers and gold into an ensemble of reds, pinks and mauve. Their eyes stayed locked on one another as Eli came forward and embraced Mike.

Their lips briefly met, a short kiss that yet could of melted the mightiest of glaciers. Filled with this heat, Mike gently lifted Eli into his arms and brought him to the loveseat, laying him down onto its welcoming cushion.

The deep blue of the seat contrasted with Eli's fiery dress and it seemed that he floated upon a watery sea of stars. The scene mesmerized Mike with its magic.

Mike leaned into Eli and kissed him, their warm tongues danced together as Eli reached around to pull Mike closer. In an instant, Mike and Eli were naked, their warm bodies became moist with sweat as their limbs entangled with lust.

Mike was on top of Eli and their swollen cocks rubbed against one another as their mouths continued licking and tasting.

Eli's warm breath whispered into Mike's ear, "Fuck me Mike. I want your cock inside me."

Mike rose up and took hold of Eli's ankles, bringing them up to shoulder level. He looked down and grabbed his cock, rubbing it up and down Eli's ass.

Eli began stroking his own cock with one hand while the other teased a long hard nipple, "Yeah Mike, your cock feels so good. Fuck me with that nice cock baby."

Pushing slightly, Mike's cock slid into Eli and he pushed it in deep until his balls touched Eli's rim. Eli moaned with delight and he placed a finger in his mouth, biting down on it as Mike began pumping his cock slowly. Eli begged him to go faster and harder, Mike obeying as he began slamming Eli's tight ass.

Their eyes were locked and Mike felt himself smile, he had never fucked such a goddess before. Yes, the image before him was that of a goddess. Eli was an angelic being beyond any mortal holding. Mike's soul swam in the deep pools that were Eli's eyes. Leaning down he grabbed hold of Eli's long hair and thrust his tongue into his mouth. Eli sucked on it happily.

Then Mike reached under Eli, hoisting him up into the air and began bouncing Eli up and down on his cock. Eli held on to Mike's neck and shouted with mirth with every bounce. Eli's hard cock pressed against Mike's belly and he loved the warm feeling of it. He held Eli close and tight now and Eli's smooth legs wrapped around his torso all the while he continued bouncing up and down Mike's hard wonderful cock.

With every downward motion Eli took the cock fully into his ass. He smiled with glee as he rode on and on.

Then Mike sat Eli down onto the deep blue loveseat and went to his knees, placing his hands on each one and spread them apart, "Let me taste your beautiful cock Eli!"

Eli grabbed Mike by the hair and pulled his face into his crotch, "Suck me baby!"

Grabbing the base of Eli's cock, Mike licked the head and the salty taste of precum tickled his tongue with delight and he popped the head in his mouth fully, sucking and releasing. He slid his eager tongue down the shaft and licked and kissed at smooth swollen balls.

Mike's mouth enjoyed the taste of sweat which mingled with the precum as he slid his whole mouth back up to the head. He began sucking fully the cock up and down, taking it all the way to the back of his throat several times.

Mike couldn't believe how amazing it felt to do this new oral act of pleasure and was surprised at how he seemed to know exactly how to do it. Eli again grabbed him, taking hair into each fist and holding tight while moaning in pleasure. Eli's hips bucked up off the loveseat and sweet snow white cum filled Mike's mouth. He sucked up and down vigorously as Eli's hot cum flowed into his throat and out down his chin.

Eli breathed out a breath of satisfaction and called to Mike, "Come here Mike."

He rose up from Eli's legs and their faces met. Eli licked and sucked his cum from Mike's chin and pressed his lips to Mike's and thrust his tongue passed them. They kissed long and shared in the succulent taste of Eli's seed.

Mike then spun Eli around and bent him over, "Let me fuck that nice tight ass again baby!"

"Oh yeah! Give me some more Mike!"

Grasping hold of Eli's waist he slid his cock into his shining glorious hole. Mike's cock slid in and out with ease and he quickened his pace furiously as he pounded away. Eli had his hands on the back of the loveseat and his back fully arched, he cried out in lustful enjoyment with every pound.

Eli looked back at Mike with those deep brown eyes, they seemed to shimmer with their silver and copper eye shadow, "Fuck Mike! Cum inside me! Fill me with your love Mike!"

Mike felt his climax approach as he moved to stand on the tips of his toes, he looked down at the perfect shape of Eli's form and as his gaze found and lingered on Eli's round ass he threw his head back and erupted into Eli. He cried out in ecstatic joy and all went to darkness.

Mike jerked up, throwing the sheet and blanket back. He grabbed his throbbing cock which was spewing cum and stroked it strongly. He cried out in pleasure. Mike threw himself back onto the bed, his chest heaved and his brow was soaked in sweat. 

He knew that this was the most amazing wet dream he had ever had. Mike lazed there for several minutes coming down from the high, mind swimming with images of Eli. He smiled as he excitedly leaped out of bed and began counting down the minutes until the party would begin. This would be a special valentine's. He was sure of it.

Several long hours later, Mike found himself getting more nervous every time the clock struck a new hour, each one closer to party time. He got dressed, wearing dark tan cargo pants and a long black sleeve button up shirt over a white tank top. He spiked his hair up with some gel and sprayed down with cologne.

He arrived at Julie's house around eight thirty and the party was in full swing. After passing through the living room, which was crowded with already drunk party goers and decorated in pinks and reds, he found John in the kitchen.

John seemed to be buzzing pretty hard and was jolly and lively. He introduced Mike to Julie who seemed nice enough, he thanked her for letting him come over. John and Sarah were already hanging all over each other, Mike smiled and winked at John who smiled back and raised his eye brows winking back.

John, who had his arm around Sarah, said, "Oh, I got to introduce you to someone Mike! Hang on a sec." He raced off leaving Sarah, Julie and Mike in the kitchen.

They only had a moment to banter about mundane topics when John came back with a brown haired beauty who he introduced as Jennifer. As Mike shook Jennifer's hand John winked at him.

On any other day Mike would have been grateful to John, but not this time. John had probably been talking him up to Jennifer, trying to get her excited. She seemed exited. Jennifer beamed at Mike and her stare barely left him while they all stood in the kitchen chatting.

What was he going to do when Eli arrived? He had invited Eli and Mike figured that Eli was thinking of this a date. Mike didn't know what to think about that, but he was definitely hoping to spend a lot of time with Eli. Now that Jennifer was interested in him, it was going to complicate things. Jennifer was damn hot though, John really did know Mike's type.

Her hair was long and dark, not quite curly yet slightly wavy. Her voluptuous breasts pushed hard against the red v-neck sweater she wore which teased a glimpse of her cleavage. Her lower curves were riding in form fitting black pants. She filled them nicely. Mike was definitely attracted to her. What was he going to do?

Julie was drawn from the kitchen by one of her friends, someone Mike didn't recognize. Shorty after, John and Sarah went off to the living room to dance. Mike was left alone with Jennifer and he was starting to feel very nervous.

Usually Mike could keep his cool with a lady, but all he could think about was Eli. What would Eli think if he came into the kitchen and found Mike here flirting with some girl he just met?

After some meaningless chatter, he decided to tell her, "Hey, I have this, uh, friend coming soon, and I don't wanna be rude," Jennifer broke him off.

"Oh, John said you were, well, not attached. That's okay, whatever."

Mike could tell she was bothered, her face flushed a bit. Damn, he knew this would happen, "Its someone I just met, he didn't know. I think you are great Jennifer, really. Just bad timing I guess. I'm really sorry. I'm enjoying talking with you, I just didn't want to lead you on. I would like it if we stayed in touch though. If you want."

Like usual Mike felt like an idiot. He wasn't sure what the right thing to say was. Just as Jennifer was answering him, his mobile vibrated in his pocket.

"Mike, you seem like a nice guy. Thanks for being honest. I'm sure I'll find you online?"

He could tell she was disappointed, "You sure will. Thanks for understanding. I meant what I said. I just got to check my cell for a moment."

"Okay. I'm gonna go mingle. Nice to meet you Mike. Hope you have fun."

With that she left Mike alone in the kitchen. He wondered if he would ever hear from her again. He couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed, she was sexy as hell. But Mike had something going on right now that was hot enough, and he quickly looked to his mobile hoping he would see Eli's name there.

Sure enough it was a text from Eli. Nervousness rushed through Mike's body. The text stated that Eli had arrived and asked Mike to come outside for a moment to meet his brother. The text ended with Eli apologizing, saying his brother was over protective. Like a brother over his younger sister Mike thought. How appropriate.

As Mike turned to leave the kitchen he was met by John rushing in. John seemed bothered, "Mike. What happened? Jennifer is in there alone. Sulking."

Damn, Mike was looking forward to a fun night and it seemed to be falling apart before it had even begun, "Oh. Damn, man. I'm sorry about that, I invited Eli and he is outside waiting for me." What else could Mike say?

"Eli? So what? I had Jennifer all worked up about you man. I figured she was right up your ally. Didn't you like her?"

Mike sighed, "Yeah, she is a great chick. I appreciate you looking out for me. You always were the best wing-man! Its just that I promised Eli I would hang with him since he doesn't know anyone here besides us. I'm not trying to be rude. Hell, either way I guess I'm going to piss off one of them, but I invited Eli, so I have to honor that first. He wouldn't be here if not for me, I can't just ditch him before he even walks in the door."

John sighed, then a puzzled look crossed his face, "You sure are being real nice to Eli. Whats up with that? Is there something you wanna tell me? Remember, we are best friends."

Mike felt his face turn red as nerves ran over his skin, "I don't know John. Something happened yesterday. I didn't see it coming myself."

He tried to continue but couldn't get the words out. What was he to say? Mike himself wasn't sure what was going on with him and Eli. He was happy and excited about whatever it was, but telling others, that he was scared shitless about.

John pressed, "What happened? What are you talking about Mike? You aren't making any sense."

Mike's mobile vibrated again as he spoke, "Damn, sorry John. Its a long story. I promise we'll talk about it later. I know if anyone will understand it will be you," glancing at his mobile he saw it was Eli again, wondering where he was, "I got to go out front for a sec. Just be patient with me bro, I'll fill you in as soon as I can."

John surrendered his interrogation and went to rejoin Sarah. Mike headed outside. As Mike exited the front door, he saw two people standing beside a car which was parked across the street against the curb. Eli saw Mike and waved at him.

As Mike got closer he noticed Eli was wearing a skin tight, long sleeved, short black one piece v neck mini dress. Small mounds pressed out from Eli's chest lightly pushing at the v neck. Long bare legs ended in medium high shiny black heels that revealed toes which were painted in blue nail polish, matching Eli's finger nails. His fine facial features were accentuated by various make ups.

His deep brown eyes were set in blue eye shadow and heavy black eye liner. Long dark hair, parted down the center, framed Eli's face and was bobbed, curving slightly around his chin. He held a small black purse which had chrome clasps at it's top. 

Around his neck was a black choker which had three chrome five pointed stars attached to it, the one in the center larger than the others on its flanks, and a silver chain ran between each star. Mike was reminded of his dream when he saw the stars. His heart skipped a beat as he got nearer. Deep red lips smiled at Mike as he stood before them.

Mike's chin tried to drop. He couldn't of imagined anyone in the world could look more beautiful to him. This was insane. Eli was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Like a goddess from a dream. Mike knew he was looking upon the most beautiful person at the party. In the world.

Eli stepped forward and placed a hand on his shoulder, he felt Eli wanted to hug him but had refrained. He began the introductions, "Mike, this is my older brother Raul. Raul this is Mike."

The two clasped hands and as they let go of the shake Raul spoke, "So, you are Mike? Nice to meet you. I want to thank you for what you did for Ella yesterday. If its true. I won't say I already trust you, but kicking someones ass is a damn fine start."

Raul stared into Mike's eyes as if trying to see into his soul. Mike wondered if he'd heard him correctly. Did he say Ella instead of Eli?

Finally he responded, "Yeah, it's true. David got what he has deserved for a long time. Fucking with my friends is a bad idea, I think he got the message. It was the honorable thing to do. I'll do the same thing again to anyone that treats my friends that way. Its nice to meet you Raul."

Eli spoke up, "I knew you would get along. I told you he was my knight in shining armor Raul."

"Yeah, you got my blessing Mike. Take care of my little sis tonight alright? You guys have any trouble, call me. Ella, I'll be back at midnight to pick you up."

Mike had heard him correctly, he was calling Eli Ella, and he referred to him as his little sis. Damn, Mike was surprised to find Raul so accepting of his brother's choice in gender identity. Mike smiled to himself.

Eli answered Raul, "Okay, thanks for bringing me big bro." Eli hugged Raul.

Mike offered, "I can take you home if you want? If that's okay with you Raul?"

"I like you already Mike, but this time I'll be taking her home. I'm a bit protective, as you can tell. I'm not trying to cramp your style or anything. And I ain't no cock blocker either. But this is my little sister here, and I just met you. If you are still in good graces with Ella come tomorrow, I'll back off some."

"I can respect that Raul. I am very glad that you care. Again, really nice meeting you," Mike offered a hand which Raul took. They both smiled as they shook hands.

Eli slid an arm around Mike and said, "Okay, Raul, I'll see you later."

Raul hadn't drove off until Mike and Eli got to the front door, Mike could feel Raul's eyes on his back the whole time. He tried not to let that work on his already fraying nerves. Everything was happening so fast. He was about to walk into a party where fellow schoolmates were, and on his arm was a guy. Or a gal? This was crazy, Mike was in deep and there was no turning back now. They stopped at the door and Mike looked Eli over.

Damn, Mike was blown away at the sheer beauty of his date. Yes, he realized that this was a date. No questions about it. And gazing into Eli's eyes made him feel confident again, he was sweating from the nerves but decided to hell with everyone, he would walk into the house with pride and confidence.

He asked Eli, "I, um, noticed your brother called you Ella? And sis?"

Eli smiled, "Oh yeah, my bro is great. At first he was confused, as everyone seems to be at first. It wasn't long before he accepted me. He is the only one in the family to do such really. And call me Ella, okay?"

Mike looked Eli up and down. He smiled and brought her closer, "Ella, you look absolutely astonishing tonight. I marvel at your beauty."

"Thank you Mike. You look quit handsome yourself." her eyes were sparkling up at Mike.

Mike leaned his head down, his lips found Ella's. Sparks of attraction which were dancing with elated desires flowed through them both, and Mike felt fear and nerves washing away as waves of strength and courage replaced them. Their lips parted.

Ella giggled and wiped the lipstick that had been left behind off of Mike's lips, saying in her soft accented voice, "You know what Ella means?" Mike shook his head no, "It means 'young girl' in Spanish. And beautiful fairy." She giggled again. 

Mike could only smile at the appropriateness of that. They turned toward the door and held hands as they entered, crossing a threshold into a brand new world. A world were they were together. Where they were a couple.
