Rugby team stories

Sorry it took so long guys. I've been crazy busy with defeating the marriage amendment in Minnesota! Thanks for your patience!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

I couldn't believe it. It had been one year since my attack that nearly killed me. I didn't really think about it too much, even though I had a visible scar from where I was stabbed. In actuality, it represented a major turning point in my life. It was afterwards which Lars and my relationship went to the next level, and I also gained some recognition (and in turn inspired some people). Some even considered me a role model. The entire thing had both inspired me and humbled me at the same time.

Lars was going to spend the weekend with me. We had a big game Saturday night and he would be there to watch. Friday night, however, we were planning to have a nice dinner. I had big news to tell him. I really hoped he would want to do what I was going to ask him.
---------------
Lars prepared an amazing meal as usual. We sat down to dinner and I poured us both a glass of wine. We talked a bit for a while, but also stayed in silence for much of it. After about a half hour I decided to ask him what I wanted to. I was very nervous but I knew I had to do it.

"Lars, I have some big news", I started.

"What's that Steve?", he asked with a smile as he leaned in closer to me, putting his hand on my thigh.

"I've been asked to go to the United States for the summer. I will travel around to different events and speak. They will pay for all of my expenses. It sounds like an amazing opportunity", I said as I stared into his eyes.

"It does babe, you absolutely should do it. It sucks we'll have to be apart though", Lars said in a slightly pouty tone. I could tell he was trying to hide the fact that he was upset.

"That's the thing though. I said that I wanted you to join me for the entire trip. I would never do this without you Lars. Remember the promise we made babe”, I said as I put my arm around him.

“My God Steve, that sounds amazing!”, Lars exclaimed. He pulled in and kissed me. After about a minute he let go and he lightly touched my face.

“This is going to be another amazing summer”, I said to Lars as I began to tear up.

“I know Steve, one of many more to come”, Lars said as he leaned in and kissed me again.

We finished dinner and cleaned up. Afterwards we stripped naked and took a long, hot shower. When we finished we made our way to the bedroom where we made love for hours before falling asleep in each other’s arms.

------------------

Like the year before, our team won the game that night. To celebrate we all went out to a pub for some food and drinks. Lars came with. The night was going great, but in the back of my head some of the memories were replaying themselves. I knew what I had to do in order to calm myself down. I stood up.

“Guys, is it okay if I say something?”, I asked. Everyone nodded/said yes. I began to speak, trying to hold back the tears to no avail.

“As some of you know, one year ago I almost died. I would’ve if it hadn’t been for you guys”, I said as I motioned to Antonio, Stefan, and Deiter.

“In the aftermath, you were all there for me in every way possible, supporting me in ways I never imagined. Once again I just want to say thank you for everything. You have in turn helped so many people through this. Over the summer I’ll be in the US speaking to people and hopefully doing the same”, I said through the tears. My entire team applauded. Lars stood up and gave me a hug and a kiss. I regained my composure and we both sat down. Suddenly Nigel stood up.

“I’m sorry guys, but is it okay if I say something too?”, he asked in a shy tone. We all said yes.

“Steve, you have indeed inspired so many people in this past year. I include myself among one of them. You used what happened to you for good and didn’t let it keep you down. Seeing you be who you are with Lars has inspired me to come to terms with who I truly am. I am a bisexual man”, Nigel said. He looked like a 100 pound weight had just been lifted off of him. Everyone on the team clapped and cheered for him.

“I’m so proud of you Nigel”, I said as I walked over to him. I gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. He began to cry. Everyone else on the team gave him hugs.

Afterwards Lars and I talked with him more. He seemed very relaxed about the whole thing. I told him that we would look out for him always, and that he would get any form of pleasure whenever he wanted it. In no time at all Nigel would be getting just that!
 
Thanks for the up-date, this is a great ongoing story - looking forward to more revelations;)
 
NIGEL'S INITIATION

The past month had been great. I was beginning to learn more about my summer plans from the organization sponsoring me. It would be great to be back in the US even for just a summer. I was even more excited that Lars would be with me the entire time!

Nigel was doing great. He still hadn't done anything with a guy yet, but he had gone out to the bars a couple times. I tried to hook him up, but he said he wanted to wait for the right moment. I had an idea of how to help him.

--------------

I told Nigel we were having a "sex party" to thank Jacob and Noel for their recent donation to our team. I suggested he come along just to watch. He was a bit apprehensive at first, but I got him to say yes. I then talked to Chris, Liam, and Toby. They were all on board to take part. Toby even said he thought he was so hot, so he would be the one to "break him in" (plus, we owed him after what we put him through before!).

We would all gather at Jacob and Noel's place and just take it from there. I had no idea what would happen, but I knew it would be fine. I hoped that Toby would help Nigel open up a bit more, and show him a great time.

---------------

The party had arrived. Me, Lars, Chris, Liam, Toby, and Nigel were all at Jacob and Noel's place and ready to have some fun. We were all sipping wine and talking when Noel said that the "festivities" needed to begin.

"I have something in mind for the both of you", he said as he stared at Chris and I.

"Chris, you're up first. Take off your clothes and follow me to the kitchen", he ordered. Chris did as he was told and stripped naked. We all follwed them both to the kitchen. Noel removed a dildo from a plastic bag.

"Chris, we all are aware how amazing your cum tastes. Unfortunately, until now we've only been able to get a limited amount. This will change that. Your prostate will be pleasured in a way that'll make you cum like you never have before", Noel said as he waved it in Chris' face.

"You are to fill up my wine glass to the brim. Jacob, you wanna do the honors?", he asked.

"Absolutely!", Jacob responded as he took the dildo Noel held his wine glass under Chris' dick as Jacob began to slowly shove the dildo inside of him. Chris winced with pain slightly as it went all the way in.

"Now begin!", Noel ordered. Chris did as he was told and began to jack off hard and fast. In no time at all he was hard as a rock. I could see precum begin to drip off into the glass.

"Damn boy, that's amazing", Jacob said with a laugh.

"Oh fuck I'm gonna cum!", Chris shouted as he tilted his head back. Jacob shoved the dildo inside Chris even harder. He began to spill his seed into the glass. He was coming so hard and so fast that it looked like he was peeing cum! After a full minute he finally stopped coming.

"Oh God", Chris said in an out of breath tone. His body was now drenched in sweat. Jacob held him up from behind to ensure he wouldn't faint. Noel lifted the glass up to show us all. Chris indeed filed it to the brim. He smelled it before sticking his finger in for a taste.

"Amazing as usual Chris. Good job", Noel said as placed the glass on the counter. Jacob removed the dildo from Chris' ass and Liam gave him a hug and a kiss.

"Now, the next activity involves Steve", Noel announced as everyone glanced over to me.

"Steve, I think you know what you need to do", he said very matter-of-factly to me. I stripped out of my clothes and awaited orders.

"Lay on your back on the counter", Jacob ordered. Again, I did as I was told. I heard Noel grab something else from the bag. It looked like a bottle of paint.

"Steve, this is a special kind of paint. I'm not going to tell you why, but I figured you should experience it for yourself", Noel said.

"What's going to happen to me?", I wondered as I shivered from the cold countertop against my naked body, but also a little from fear/anticipation.
 
Hmmm ... VERY Interesting! (!) (!w!)

Now I'm intrigued to find out what's so 'special' about that paint, and all the other fascinating things these Guys might have in mind, and possibly get UP to! :-<

I'm also especially looking forward to hearing what might happen with Toby and Nigel. :badgrin:

THANK YOU! for continuing this story, Scream! (group)

Keep smilin'!! :kiss: (*8*)

NIGEL'S INITIATION pt. 2

I glanced up at Noel. He had a smile on his face as he began to pour the paint onto my cock. The minute it hit my skin it felt cold. I winced slightly in pain/surprise.

"Just give that a couple seconds Steve. Then you'll see why it's so special", Jacob warned me. In no time at all I could tell what he meant. I felt the paint begin to get warm and tingle on my cock. It sent shockwaves throughout my entire body. I could feel my cock stiffin in a matter of seconds.

"That's right Steve. This body paint is also a tingling lube as well, but don't worry. We want you to experience it a bit more", Noel said as he began to drip the paint onto my chest.

"Oh and, you can't touch yourself until we say so", Jacob added with a chuckle. I felt the paint on my chest tingle and warm up. By this point it was unbearable. My face began to tighten as it became obvious how uncomfortable I was feeling.

"Lars, why don't you finish Steve off?", Noel suggested. Lars barely had to stroke my cock for a minute before I shot a massive load all over my chest and stomach. Afterwards Lars got a warm washcloth and cleaned the paint and cum off of me. He gave me a kiss and I took my place back beside him. At this point I knew what direction the party would take.

"What do you think about this Nigel?", I asked as I turned to face him.

"It's definitely different from anything I've ever experienced, but it's really cool!", he said with a smile.

"I'm glad you feel that way. We have a surprise for you. Nigel, this was not a fundraiser party. This is your initiation. We have all taken part in similar ones when we were new, now it's your turn. Toby's going to help you out. Don't be scared, but you may step outside your comfort zone a bit", I told him.

"Really Toby? You wanna play with me?", Nigel asked in such a cute fashion.

"I do. I think you're so sexy. I fucking love tall, muscular rugby guys", Toby said as he approached Nigel. He stood right next to him and Nigel absolutely TOWERED over Toby.

"I want you to take off your clothes", Toby told him. Nigel did as he was told and in seconds was completely naked.

Toby looked him up and down, and began to run his hands over his muscular body. Nigel just stared at Toby the entire time.

"Flex your muscles for me", Toby ordered mildly. Again, Nigel obeyed, doing a series of poses in front of us. Toby continued to run his hands over Nigel's sexy, muscular chest, stomach, and thighs. At the same time Nigel's cock slowly began to twitch as it rose slightly higher each time Toby moved his hands across his torso.

"I wanna try something. Flex your biceps for me Nigel", Toby said. He then jumped up and grabbed hold of his arms, hanging off of them for several seconds. Nigel was so strong that it didn't phase him one bit. He even let out an adorable laugh.

After Toby dismounted from Nigel's arms, he glanced down at his cock, which was now stiff as a board and sticking straight up. After fixating on it for several seconds, Toby looked up at Nigel, who had a smile of anticipation.

"You know I'm going to have to take care of that right?", he asked Nigel in a very seductive tone as he placed his hand on his chest.

I couldn't believe how hot this was. Nigel was a big, strong and tough guy, and for him to be dominated by a little guy like Toby was amazing. I couldn't even imagine what Toby would do to him next.
 
Sorry it took me a while guys. Thanks for your patience!

NIGEL'S INITIATION pt. 3

"Nigel, I want you to turn around and face the wall", Toby ordered. Nigel did as he was told, turning his back to us all.

Toby began to groap Nigel's ass, lightly at first, but then harder. Nigel began to moan with pleasure. Seeing how much he liked it, Toby began to run his finger across Nigel's crack.

"Oh yah", Nigel said with a sigh of pleasure. After pleasuring Nigel for a little while Toby ordered him to turn back around. He did as he was told. By now the head of Nigel's cock was compleatly soaked in precum. Toby glanced down at it.

"Wow Nigel", was all he could say as he stuck his finger to the tip, pulling away strands of dew in the process. Toby grabbed hold of Nigel's dick and lightly squeezed it, causing him to wince a bit. More precum dripped out of his cock.

By now all the guys were giving their full attention to Nigel. Some of them were even rubbing their bodies, clearly getting aroused by what they saw. Lars just had his mouth open. I glanced down at his crotch. I could see that he was popping up! Meanwhile, Chris' dick was making twitching movements, almost like a diving rod, as it began to get hard and rise. I could see precum begin to form at the tip.

Toby continued to play with Nigel as he began to stroke his cock. With the other hand he began to tease his nipple. Nigel tilted his head back and and let out a loud moan before glancing over at Toby. He smiled at him, causing Toby to do the same. After several minutes of getting his dick stroked, Nigel was nearing climax. He had sweat gathering at him temples, his eyes were closed, and he was breathing heavier.

"Oh God I'm gonna cum!", Nigel shouted. Just seconds later he did just that, shooting stream after stream of jizz in a powerful arc. Toby continued to jack him off until he was completely drained of cum. When he finished coming, Nigel let out a breath of relief as he glanced over at Toby. Toby continued to hold his softening manhood as he ran his other hand across Nigel's chest and up to his face.

"Did you guys enjoy that?", Toby asked as he turned to us. We all nodded in agreement.

"How do you feel Nigel?", Toby asked as he turned back to him, glancing up and touching his face.

"I feel great. Thanks Toby", he said as he leaned in and gave him a hug.

"They look so adorable!", I thought to myself.

"I think you should rest after that", Toby said as he motioned for him to sit down on the couch. Nigel followed suit. They sat right next to each other. Toby placed his hand on Nigel's thigh and lightly rubbed it.

"You did great Nigel. I think we all agree that you passed with flying colors!", I said as everyone else agreed.

----------------

We spent a bit more time drinking and talking. Nigel seemed completely comfortable being himself around us, which is what I ultimately hoped for. When he finished his drink Nigel turned to Toby.

"Toby, you were great tonight. I really want to get to know you more and spend some time together just you and I", Nigel said with a smile.

"I'd like that. Boys, I think we're going to head out now", Toby announced as he finished his drink and stood up. Nigel did the same. Toby got a few last glances at Nigel's naked body as he put his clothes back on. They said their goodbyes and left.

I love how the two of them bonded. I could only imagine how much more they would while we weren't around!
 
Excellent description, Scream! :=D: ..|

What made it even hotter is I'm also a 'little' guy, and would Love to have a 'big' guy passively let me do whatever I wanted to with him! (!) (!w!)

Even better with an audience! :-< (group)

Keep smilin'!! :kiss: (*8*)

Once again I'm sorry guys the end of the semester was CRAZY!!! But now I should have more time to update this story.

MY NIGHT WITH NIGEL

"I apologize in advance Toby. My apartment is a bit of a mess", Nigel said with a pouty smile as he opened the door to his apartment. We had left the party to head back to his place so we could spend some time together alone. I couldn't wait to see what would happen!

"Hey no worries Nigel. It means you have personality!", I said with a laugh. I know it was a lame joke, but he still chuckled at it anyways. He walked inside as I followed him. I'll admit I was pretty horny after what I just witnessed before, plus I really wanted to open up Nigel even more.

We were both inside. I wrapped my arms around him and looked up into his eyes. He quickly did the same to me. Suddenly I had an idea.

"Nigel, I think you need to be cleaned off a bit after what I just did to you. How about we take a shower?", I suggested.

"Sure Toby", Nigel replied. We both made our way to the bathroom stripping out of our clothes on the way.

---------------

When we both were inside Nigel turned the water on, testing it with his hand.

"It'll take a little while to warm up", he said with a smile.

"No worries. I think we can kill time", I said as I began to run my hands all over his body. Nigel just stared down at me and smiled. I could feel his cock begin to poke against my thigh. I glanced down at it, and immediatly back up at him. He had a look of emberrassment that was so adorable.

"Nothing to be ashamed of sweetie", I commented as I reached up and lightly touched his face.

"Hey Toby, I think the water's ready", he said as he led me into the shower. Nigel positioned himself on the other side from the shower head. Without waiting for anything I took a bottle of bodywash off of the shelf and squirted some into my hand. I began to rub it all over Nigel's hard, wet body, starting on his chest, going down his arms, to his stomach and upper thighs, to finally finishing with his cock, which was now hard as a rock again.

"You like that I see", I said to him.

"It feels amazing Toby", Nigel said. His eyes were closed and he could barely speak from arousal. After the soap got washed off I told him to turn around so I could get the other side. When he did I reached up and began to rub body wash all over his upper back and shoulders, moving down to his lower back, and finished with his ass, which I took my sweet time with, groaping for at least five minutes. When I finished Nigel turned back around.

"How do you feel now?", I asked him.

"I feel great. Toby, I'd really like to try something. Don't be scared", he said in a sensitive tone.

"Sure", I said. Nigel placed his hands under my armpits and slowly lifted me up. I wrapped my arms and legs around him as he slowly leaned in and kissed me. The warm water continued to soak our bodies as we pressed against one another hard. After around 30 seconds Nigel pulled out and stared into my eyes.

"Shall we head to bed?", he asked.

"That would be great", I said as I leaned back in and kissed him some more. After we let go he lightly put me down and we got out of the shower. As we dried each other off I continued to admire his sexy body.

"God I really want him to fuck me, but we can save that for another night", I thought to myself.

--------------

We got into Nigel's bed and he pulled the sheet over us. He wrapped me in his arms and held me tight.

We got to know each other more. He told me how being bisexual was something that he had struggled with his entire life, but that Steve really made him realize who he was.

"Yah, Steve's amazing. From what it sounds like he had a lot of struggles himself before coming here. I'm so glad he's been able to do so much good with it", I said.

We then got talking about sex. Nigel indicated he had no experience in doing it with a man before.

"You have an amazing body though. It was seriously built for sex Nigel!", I told him with a laugh. He smiled and blushed slightly in a way that was so adorable.

We talked for a while longer before we both fell asleep. Before doing so, I thought to myself about how great things turned out for the both of us. I wondered if this would turn into anything else. I hoped that it would.
 
Great update, Scream! ..|

Nigel seems to be one Big Sweetie!! (group)

I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter! It's something I've been planning for a while now!!!

THE BIG QUESTION

Another amazing year had come to an end. My team was gathering for our end of the year banquet like last year. Lars was going to be joining me so I was excited to see him! I knew that there would be a lot of tears that night since I was leaving for the summer, and Hanz indicated that I was going to be "honored" at the ceremony (I couldn't wait to find out what he meant by that!). This place had really become my home, and these guys were truly my family.

Lars and I were getting ready to head to the banquet. I was putting on my tie when he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed me on the cheek and then stared into the mirror.

"Do you have any idea how amazing this summer is going to be Steve?", he asked me with a smile.

"I think I have an idea babe. It's mostly because you will be right there with me", I said as I turned to kiss him. We locked lips for a few minutes before I finished getting ready.

-------------

The evening was going great. I looked around the room at all the people who were there. They had all touched me in a special way, helping me discover how independent and strong of a person I could be.

I glanced all around our table. Mike, Freidrik, Toby, Nigel, Chris, and Liam sat with Lars and I. Mike decided to stay over here and continue his education to get closer to Freidrik. Nigel and Toby were still in the early stages of their relationship, but they made an adorable couple I had to say! Chris and Liam were continuing to get close. Chris' parents even came over to visit recently, and they adored Liam!

Suddenly Hanz stood up. I wondered if he was going to begin speaking about me. I no time at all my question was answered.

"This has been a great night in so many ways, but now we need to get to the focus of our night. As most of you already know, Steve is spending the summer in the United States, speaking at events and spreading his message of acceptance to people over there. What he has done during his time on this team has made him a true worrior in my opinion. Steve, I am so proud to call you a co-captain, teammate, and friend", Hanz said as he motioned in my direction. Everyone clapped and cheered. I saw Antonio stand up.

"Steve, when you first arrived here, I knew that there was something special about you. You were a kind, compassionate person. I hurt me to see you hide it away from people. I'm proud that you confided in me about who you really were. When I witnessed you nearly die that night, and how you used it for good, it made me realize what was really important", he said as he held back tears. I was doing the same by this point.

"I am so proud to now call myself a gay ally, and that you have someone who will always watch your back. Thank you", Antonio said as everyone applauded. I glanced over at my other "Three Musketeers" Stefan and Deiter. They were tearing up too. Suddenly Chris stood up. He already was starting to cry.

"Steve, our stories are very similar. I had a horrible experience when I initially came out in college. I had heard about your story, and it gave me so much hope. I came over here not knowing what to expect. You took me under your wing and showed me that there was nothing to be afraid of. You showed me that I could be myself and play this amazing sport, and that I myself could find love", he said as he stared down at Liam, who just smiled up at him.

"You will do amazing work this summer. I'm so proud to call you not only a personal hero, but a great friend too. Thank you for everything Steve", Chris said as he sat down. Like before, everyone applauded.

"Steve, how about a few words!?", Nigel asked bousterously. Everyone in the room agreed. I stood up and prepared to say what was on my mind.

"Wow you guys, thanks. I'm not sure how I can top that", I said with a slight chuckle. I took in a deep breath and prepared to give my speech.

"When I came over here less then two years ago, I had no idea what to expect. I was filled with so many insecurities. You guys quickly melted them away for me. You accepted me as one of your own, as a teammate, a brother, and a friend. You helped me out in every way possible after I was attacked, and for that I'm forever greatful. Thanks to you all I have thrived both on and off the field. In many ways, it's your message that I will be spreading to the US this summer, since you gave me the strength to be who I am and speak out", I said as I held back tears. I noticed some of the others were doing the same thing.

"That's it. I love all of you so much!", I shouted as I began to cry. I wipped the tears from my eyes as I noticed Lars began to stand up. He stood next to me as he faced everyone else.

"Steve, I just want to say that it's been amazing to be a part of your life. You have taught me how to live and love again. You are my partner and best friend. I am so touched that you are including me in your plans for the summer. I'm beyond excited to begin what I know will be the best summer of both our lives", he said as he turned to me and smiled.

"I know that it's going to be an amazing summer, and I know that we will grow even closer to one another. That's why I know it's best for me to ask you this now", Lars said as he got down on one knee and reached into his pocket.

"Oh my God, is this what I think it is!?", I thought to myself with excitement as Lars pulled out a small box.

"Steve, will you marry me?", Lars asked as he opened the box, revealing a ring.
 
Oh, Geeze, Scream! Now you've made me get all teary, too! :cry:

THANK YOU!, for this story, Buddy! (group)

Keep smilin'!! :kiss: (*8*)
Chaz :luv:
 
THE BIG ANSWER

The world seemed to stop for a split second. I just stared and Lars' sweet smile that I loved so much.

"Yes, yes of course I'll marry you!", I shouted as more tears began to run down my face. The entire room erupted in applause and cheers as Lars stood back up and put the ring on my finger. He then wrapped me in his arms and kissed me passionately. It seemed like we locked lips for at least five minutes, but everyone kept on cheering regardless.

We let go and stared out into the crowd, still wrapped in each other's arms. Several people were taking pictures as everyone kept applauding. Hanz walked over to me.

"Congratulations man. You deserve it", he said as he gave me a hug. He then walked over to Lars and did the same thing.

"Thank you so much Hanz for setting this up and letting me do this", Lars said.

"Aw Hanz you knew about this!", I said with a laugh.

"Yup, Lars and I planned it all out for you", Hanz said.

I turned back to Lars, smiled at him for about a second, and kissed him again.

"Well everyone, that concludes the evening. The after party will be at the bar next door. Hope to see you all there! Before we leave, let's give one more round of applause for our newly engaged couple!", Hanz announced to everyone. Once again, applause rang through the room. I looked around in the crowd. What Lars had done was amazing, but it was even better having it done in front of all of these special people in my life.

After about 30 seconds the applause stopped and we left for the bar.

-----------------

"I can't believe you and I are going to be family!", Deiter said as we had a drink at the bar.

"I know right, cousin?", I said with a laugh as I took a sip of my beer. As I lifted the glass up to my mouth I couldn't help but glance at the ring on my finger. Lars had proposed to me only an hour before and I swear I looked at it at least 50 times already!

"I'm so happy for you Steve. Lars had been planning this for a while", he added. As if acting on cue Lars came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

"How are you doing babe?", he asked as he kissed me.

"I'm great sweetie. You wanna head out soon?", I asked with a smile.

"Sure. We should say goodbye to everyone first though", he suggested.

We spent the next half an hour doing that. I think in all I recieved over 50 hugs that night. As we left the bar I seriously felt like I could fly.

-----------------

After arriving back at my apartment Lars and I immediately got out of our clothes and stepped into the shower. We spent the entire time under the warm water, running our hands all over one another and kissing. After we finished we dried off and got into bed. Immediately he wrapped me in his arms.

"It still doesn't seem real Lars", I said as I held up my hand, spread out my fingers, and admired the ring. Lars lightly took hold of my hand and pulled it towards him. He lightly kissed the ring and turned me towards him so we were facing one another.

"But it is Steve. This summer is going to be even more amazing knowing that you're my fiance", he said with a smile.

"I'm so proud to call you that Lars", I said as I leaned in and kissed him. I then rested my head on his chest, closed my eyes and fell asleep, having nothing but pleasent thought and dreams of what the future would bring for us.
 
HEADING HOME

It had been only a few days since Lars proposed to me, and I still hadn't gotten over the feeling. I had never felt these emotions before. He taught me that I could love a person more then I could myself, and that I am worthy of being loved in the same way in return. I couldn't help but think back to college when I wasn't sure if I could even have a happy life. Thanks to Lars and my teammates, I now knew that I could (and was).

I told my parents the good news the next day. I think in some ways they were happier then I was! When I told Erica she cried tears of joy, expressing how happy she was with how far I had come. All-in-all this could not have come at a better time since my first stop in the States was my hometown, speaking at my high school! While I was excited, I was also very nervous at the same time.

-------------

After an uneventful flight, the flight arrived as scheduled. We walked out of the terminal and my parents were waiting in the lobby. My mom rushed over and gave me a big hug and a kiss.

"Oh Steve I'm so happy for you!", she gushed. Like any mom would, she immediately looked at the ring.

"Lars that's beautiful!", she said as she gave him a hug and a kiss. My dad meanwhile gave me a hug and smiled at me in a way which said "I'm so proud of you". After we finished greeting one another we got our bags and went out to the car.

---------------

The drive home went so fast. We all talked the entire time, mostly about wedding plans. I was going to have a couple free days in town as well, so we were going to begin planning the ceremony. We had already picked the date for early September, so we only had less then four months to plan the wedding. Regardless, Lars and I didn't want a huge wedding, just something small and simple.

When we arrived home Lars and I unpacked our things and laid down for a nap. After sleeping for a few hours we got up and had dinner with my parents. When we were finished we went over to Ryan's house to hang with him and Chris. I hadn't seen either of them since the previous summer. After we had our sexual experience, the two of them began dating. They stayed together for a few months before breaking up, though they still remained close friends.

When we arrived we stepped inside and they both gave us hugs and kisses.

"It's great to see you man", Ryan said. He invited us in a offered us some beers.

We then sat on the couch and talked for a while.

"It's been so amazing to follow your journey Steve. Who would've thought you'd be doing what you're doing now?!", he said.

"Yah It's been wild. I could never have done it without the amazing support from Lars and my team", I said as I squeezed Lars' leg. Lars glanced over at me and smiled. I leaned in and kissed him.

We all talked for several more hours before Lars and I headed home. We undressed and climbed into bed. He wrapped me in his arms and we talked for a while.

"I'm not going to lie babe, I'm anxious about tomorrow", I told Lars.

"You're going to do great Steve. Remember I'll be there too. You're message is going to go so far with the kids there", he reassured me as he continued to hold me tight.

"You know, I would've given so much to have had someone who was like me speak to me when I was in high school", I said as I began to cry. Lars slowly turned me around so I was facing him. He stared me in the eyes.

"You are a hero Steve, not only to me but to so many others. Think about all the young people who wrote to you after you came out following your attack, and continue to look up to you. You've changed so many lives for the better. You don't need a hero, you are your own", he said as he wipped away the tears from my face and kissed me. I rested my head on his chest and he kissed me on the forehead.

After a few minutes I fell asleep. I wasn't nervous anymore about speaking tomorrow. It was going to be great seeing all my old teachers there after so many years. I just hoped that they would accept the new me.
 
Awesome, Scream! :=D: ..|

I'm definitely looking forward to Steve's address at his old High School! I'm hoping it will go as well as we're all expecting! (group)

Keep smilin'!! :kiss: (*8*)

HEADING HOME pt. 2

I awoke that morning early. I turned to see Lars sleeping peacefully by my side. I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

Turning on the water, I reached down and splashed some onto my face. For about ten seconds I stared at myself in the mirror, thinking about what was to come that day. I heard what must have been Lars walk down the hall towards the bathroom. After appearing in the doorway he came up next to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"I don't think you even realize how amazing of a job you're going to do today", Lars said as he stared at me in the glass and smiled.

"What'll help get me through it is knowing that you will be right there with me", I said as I kissed him.

"Shower with me?", he asked with the smile that I loved.

"Of course", I replied.

--------------

After Lars and I showered together we got ready and had breakfast. Before we left I dug out my old letter jacket from the closet. As the four of us were heading out the door, my mom gave me a big hug.

"You have no idea how proud I am of you Steve, for how far you've come", she said as she began to cry.

"Thanks mom. You have no idea how much it means to me to know that you'll be here with me", I said as I began to cry. After a few seconds we composed ourselves and headed out to the garage.

------------

Upon arriving at my high school we were greeted by my former principal. I introduced him to Lars. As usual, Lars made a great first impression on him. After catching up for a few minutes he led us to where the QASU was meeting. When we arrived everyone gave us a warm welcome. The student leader, Jeff, got up and shook my hand.

"Steve, it's an honor to say the least", he said.

"It's all mine Jeff. I'm so flattered you guys wanted me here", I said.

Everyone else seemed excited I was there. I hoped the general student body would feel the same way.

-------------

The time for the assembly had arrived. We made our way into the auditorium and took my seat on stage while Lars and my parents sat in the front row. As the students arrived I tried not to stare and them too much, so I spent most of the time talking with my principal. After everyone sat down I knew it would begin soon. Suddenly my principal stood up and walked towards the front of the stage. He had a microphone in his hand, so I knew we were ready to begin.

"Everyone settle down please. Thank you. Today we are honored to have a former alumni of our school, who has had an amazing journey and become a role model for many. I am proud that he will be speaking today, telling his story, and will hopefully inspire you all. Let's all welcome Steve", he said as he gestured in my direction. The entire crowd applauded for me. Taking this as a signal, I stood up and walked towards the front. He shook my hand and handed me the microphone. Moving it towards my face, I began to give my speech.
 
HEADING HOME pt. 3

"Thank you everyone for having me here today. It's truly an honor to be speaking at my alma mater", I began.

I starting talking about my life growing up, how I had a pretty typical childhood, but that I always knew that I was gay. In high school I did pretty much what most boys do, not because I felt like I had to, but because I wanted to. I stressed the fact that I was just a normal guy who wanted to play sports.

"Society frequently tells us that you need to abide by stereotypes if you want to fit in. I often struggled with that, wanting to fit in with both groups, but often feeling like I didn't with either", I said.

I then talked about going to college, and how much of my insecurities continued.

"I at times genuinely felt hopeless, and wanted to end my life on more then one occassion. After graduating, I decided to head to Europe to find myself. I heard about a rugby league over there, so I decided to give it a shot", I said.

As I began to discuss my experiences I glanced around the crowd. I was really taken aback by how attentive and respectful the students were. A lot had really changed since I was in high school.

"For the first couple months I was very insecure. I didn't really interact with many of my teammates much. On a wim I came out to two of the ones I felt close to. After that, well, I didn't really come out to my team. Instead, my team came out to me. They all made it very clear that I was welcome and that I could be myself. Through a friend on the team, I met Lars, who I am now engaged to be married to", I said as I motioned to him. The entire crowed erupted in applause. It lasted for around 30 seconds as I just shut my eyes and took it all in. When they finished I took a deep breath and continued.

"The true testemant to my team's loyalty came when I was attacked last year. They all came together and were there for me in ways I could never have imagined. The support from fans of our team was amazing too. It was truly a humbling experience", I continued as I began to tear up.

"What I am here to tell you today is that you should not be afraid to be yourself and do what makes you happy. Also, if you have a teammate who is gay, please be welcoming to them. I guarantee it will make all the differance in the world to them. Thank you so much once again for having me here. I will now take some questions", I said as I stared out into the audience.

A few people raised their hands. One girl asked me about how my family reacted. I told them that they had already suspected it and were very cool with it. The next one was a boy who looked about 17. He was tall and lean, like a basketball player.

"Steve, my name is Joe. I just wanna say that I've followed your story ever since your attack this year. I know that we're all here for you, but I hope it's okay if I say a couple things?", he asked in a polite tone.

"Absolutely Joe, take your time", I told him.

"Steve, your story has really helped me realize who I am. I play basketball for our team here, and I am gay. I'm not afraid anymore!", Joe shouted.

Once again the audience applauded. I motioned for him to come to the stage. As he did several students gave him hugs. When he arrived he came up on stage and I gave him a big hug. He had tears running down his face.

"I'm so proud of you man", I told him as I glanced over at Lars and my parents, who had bright smiles on their faces.

We turned to face the school, who was still applauding him. After about ten more seconds they stopped. The principal then approached the stage.

"Well, let's once again thank Steve for being here and sharing his story with us!", he said as the students applauded one last time.

--------------

After the assembly several students came up and thanked me for being there. Joe also got a lot of praise from them too. Afterwards Joe stayed for several minutes, talking with myself, Lars, and my parents. We all told him how proud we were of him.

"Joe, you are my hero. I wish I could've been able to do what you just did when I was in high school", I said as I began to cry.

"You are going to do amazing things. If you need any advice, contact me anytime man", I told him. We all said our goodbyes and we left the school.

---------------

That night we all talked about the day. Overall we all thought it was a huge success. The next day I was heading to New York City for the Mark Kendall Bingham Memorial Tournament. To say I was excited for what the summer would bring me was an understatement!
 
Wonderful chapter, Scream! :=D: ..|

We often forget that just the "mere" expression of ACCEPTANCE can mean SO much once we're found "OUT". And, not just for Us, but also for our family and friends in being Accepted, too, for accepting Us. And, that holds for whatever stage of our lives that might happen. (group)

THANK YOU!, for this story! (!) (!w!)

All the more reasons to ... no matter what ...
