HEY GUYS! So I know it's been longer than I said it would be. But I FINALLY got this chapter written. I finally found what I needed to find in order to start bringing this story to its final chapters. But don't worry too much, that's still at least 7 chapters away.
I want you all to know I'm doing better. Things are going well and my friends have been amazing since I came out to them. I feel so much more empowered having people that know who I really am. I guess that's also part of why I haven't been so dedicated to writing now that I have a source outside these boards to vent myself to.
Well, without any further distractions, here is:
Wings of A Butterfly
Chapter Fifteen:
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
The words were out of his mouth without hesitation. He didn't even look up from his plate. His mom stared at him in shock and his dad was looking in my direction. Luke looked peaceful as if the words he said had no effect on him at all. I looked back over to his dad who was looking angrier with each passing second... at me. I reached out to grab Luke's arm to make him see what was happening, but it was too late.
His dad's arm came sweeping across the table and knocked me out of my chair. His muscles were clenched as he stood over me and lifted his leg. Luke just sat there eating his food as if nothing happened. I screamed out for Luke to help me, but no sound came out as his dad's foot came crashing down on my chest. Luke looked over to me and I could hear him saying something.
“Wake up,” he said, “We're here.”
I jumped in my seat as I felt Luke's warm touch on my shoulder. We were parked outside a luxurious peach colored house. I looked over at Luke and he was smiling at me.
Thank God... just a dream.
“You okay?” he asked, “You look like you saw a ghost.”
“Yeah,” I said, “I'm fine... just a bad dream.”
“Not about...” he said.
“No,” I said quickly, “Those are gone.”
“Good,” he said, “Might wanna put on your jacket. It's cold out there. Also, don't make a big deal about my house.”
“Why?” I asked.
“It's pretty big,” he said.
“How big is 'pretty big' Luke?” I asked.
“You'll see.”
“How big?!” I asked.
Luke said nothing as he got out of the car. I did as I was told and stepped out of the car, letting out a sharp breath when the cold air hit my skin. Luke came around the front of the car and took my hand and guided me to the front door. The door itself looked beyond fancy. It was mahogany with lavish Christmas decorations in front of it. There were two miniature Christmas trees on either side of the doorway and fake snow sprayed along the outer frame of the door. Luke pushed his key into the lock and charged through the threshold pulling me with him as he bellowed through the halls.
“I'm home!” he yelled.
“Hey bro!” I heard from the back hallway.
A taller, tanner version of Lucas came walking down the hall. He was wearing a white tank top and silver gym shorts. He was muscular, though not as attractive as Luke. His hair was longer and darker and his eyes were dark brown instead of bright hazel. But their facial structure was incredibly similar.
“You didn't tell me you had a brother,” I whispered as I pulled my hand away from his.
“Sorry,” he whispered as he grabbed it back.
“What's this?” his brother asked as he gestured towards me.
“This,” he said nudging me, “Is the guy I told you about.”
“Oh,” he said with a grin, “He's good looking. Good work lil' bro.”
“Thanks,” he said with a grin, “Aaron, this is my brother Kyle.”
“Uhm, hi,” I said, “I take it he knows?”
“What that my brother's a homo? Of course,” Kyle said.
“Oh shut up,” Luke said, “You're just jealous.”
“Yeah I might just be,” he said as he put his hand on my shoulder.
“Hey back off,” Luke said giggling.
“Don't worry Luke,” I said, “He's not nearly as sexy as you.”
“Oh snap, kitty's got claws,” Kyle said.
“You bet your ass he does,” Luke said with a smirk.
Kyle laughed and said, “Aight I gotta go get dressed. We're still on for dinner right?”
“Of course,” Luke said.
“So you're really gonna tell them?” Kyle asked.
“Yeah that's the plan,” Luke said.
“Alright well... good luck bro,” Kyle said as he dashed up the stairs.
“So, you weren't kidding about this house,” I said, “How rich are you again?”
“I'm not,” he said, “My parents are.”
“Well, it's huge,” I said.
“I told you not to make a big deal out of it,” he said smiling.
“Sorry. So your brother seems nice,” I said as Luke showed me into the guest room downstairs.
“Yeah he's been great since I told him,” he said.
“When did you tell him?”
I dropped my bags on the floor and sat down on the bed. It wasn't as soft as the bed at Travis' cabin, but it was very comfortable. Lucas pulled the chair away from the desk and sat in it backwards facing towards me. He took in a deep breath and looked at the floor.
“I told him shortly after Michelle died.”
“Oh,” I said.
I reached my hand out and placed it on his forearm. He looked up at me and gave a halfhearted smile as he moved his hand on top of mine. I smiled back at him as he let out a sigh. The warmth from his touch passed into me and made my nerves go away temporarily.
“I'm sorry,” he said, “I didn't mean to bring the mood down.”
“Don't apologize,” I said, “It's alright.”
“So what do you wanna do?” he asked, “I got a good entertainment system set up down the hall. We can watch a movie or play a game or something.”
“I can't think of anything I would rather do,” I said with a grin.
“I can think of a few things,” he said with a bigger grin.
“Keep it in your pants Luke,” I said.
“Aww come on!” he said.
“Not in your parents house!” I said, “That's just too weird.”
“I thought you liked weird stuff,” he said with the grin returning.
I rolled my eyes as I stood up and lightly slapped the side of his head. He chuckled and followed me out of the room. When we were out in the hallway, he grabbed my wrists and pinned me against the wall. He had a big smile on his face as he leaned in and placed his lips softly on my neck. I felt his tongue brush against my skin and my heart started racing.
“Fine,” he said as he released me, “No sex at all while we're here.”
I sighed as he started walking away. He lifted his shirt off and turned around. He stopped in front of a door and stretched his torso adding a fake yawn to it. The muscles in his chest flexed and looked incredible in the dim light of the hallway. With an even bigger smile on his face, he placed his hand on the doorknob.
“I guess I'll just take a nap in here... alone,” he said.
“Oh it is so on,” I said under my breath.
I went back into the guest room and sat on the bed. I took off my pants and laid down above the covers. The drive must have taken a lot more out of me than I thought because it wasn't long until I felt my eyelids start to fall. A smile crept across my face as I thought about what Luke was about to do; and he was doing it for me.
* * *
Luke
I opened the door to the guest room to see Aaron in his tight blue boxers sleeping on his stomach. I smiled a little to myself and walked in, closing the door behind me. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I leaned in and kissed his cheek. His eyes opened slowly and he smiled when he saw me.
“Hey,” he said sleepily.
“Well hello there,” I said pointing at his obvious hard-on, “Dreaming about me?”
He covered himself up and blushed as he sat up.
“Your brother actually,” he said with a grin.
“That was mean,” I said looking sad.
“Oh whatever,” he said.
He put his hand on the back of my head and pulled me in for a kiss. When our lips met, a swirl of emotions went through me. I returned the kiss and pulled him closer to me until I remember why I came in here. I pulled away slightly breathless and looked him in the eyes.
“My mom just got home a little while ago. She's already started cooking and my dad should be home soon too,” I said.
“Oh, okay,” he said, “Well let me get dressed and you can introduce me.”
“Mmm, maybe one more minute like this,” I said pulling him back towards me.
“Uh uh,” he said, “You said no sex at all.”
“Oh you're good,” I said, “Fine put your pants on and make me sad.”
“Oh don't even,” he said with a smile, “I'm not the one who took their shirt off and flexed.”
“Maybe you should be,” I said smiling back.
“Easy tiger,” he said, “Your mother is out there remember?”
“Yeah yeah...”
He got off the bed and walked over to his bag to pull out a fresh t-shirt. Like a flash of lightning he took his shirt off and put the clean one on. With his back facing me, he bent over to pick up his pants and paused for a second to look back at me. I quickly diverted my gaze and looked back when he turned away.
“That's just not fair,” I said.
“I didn't make the rules babe,” he said.
“Someone's cocky,” I said sarcastically.
“Just a little,” he said with a grin.
I got up as he walked towards me. He stopped in front of me and I grabbed his sides, gently pulling him towards me. I closed my eyes as our bodies came together and brushed my lips against his cheek. His hands went around my neck as his chin rested on my shoulder. I could feel his heart going a thousand miles an hour against my chest. His scent rose up from him and filled my nostrils. It was like a cherry pie with chocolate mixed in.
“Is everything okay?” he whispered.
“Yeah, I'm just nervous,” I said.
“It'll be fine,” he assured me.
“As long as I have you here, I'll be good,” I said smiling.
“That's really sweet,” he said.
“I just... I want you to know that no matter how much I joke about sex, I really do care about you.”
“I know Luke,” he said, “It's okay. I actually have fun joking around.”
“I love you,” I said, “I really mean that.”
“I love you too,” he said, “Now let's get out there and make complete idiots of ourselves.”
I laughed as he pulled away from me and opened the door. I followed him out of the room and down the hallway. When we emerged, the smell of ham and potatoes overwhelmed me and made my stomach emit an audible groan. He looked back at me with a surprised look on his face.
“Mom makes the best ham,” I said.
“It smells amazing!” he said excitedly.
“Haha be sure to tell her that,” I said.
We walked into the kitchen together and saw my mom hiding among the many pots and pans in the kitchen. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she was wearing a floral print apron. She wasn't a tall woman but she was skinny. She turned and saw the two of us walking toward her and a big smile crept across her face. She took off her apron and walked over towards Aaron, extending her arms toward him for a hug.
“Aaron! So good to finally meet you,” she said.
“Nice to meet you too Mrs. Harper,” he said.
“Oh please call me Anne!” she said with a smile, “Lucas has told us all so much about you!”
“Oh really?” he asked, “Anything good?”
“As a matter of fact, he hasn't had a bad word to say about you.”
“Is that so?” he asked looking at me.
“Hey, mom! Let's uh drop it okay?” I said with widened eyes.
“Sorry,” she whispered, “My he's much handsomer than I thought he would be.”
“Thanks,” Aaron said blushing.
“You won't believe how much Lucas has been raving about you since the day he met you,” she said.
“I said zip it mom!” I said.
“Oh come on Luke,” Aaron said.
I rolled my eyes and sat on the stool next to the counter. Aaron and my mom talked for a while about school and well... me. I don't know why I didn't expect it. About an hour passed by and Aaron finally joined me in the living room to watch TV. We kept our distance on the couch but occasionally stole glances at each other accompanied by a smile.
Around 5:30 the garage door finally made that awful sound when opening to announce that my dad was home at last. When he came in we went through the same routine we went through with my mom. He greeted Aaron with a hug and told him all about how much I talked about him to my parents. Ten minutes later, Kyle finally got home from work and Mom called us to dinner. Kyle patted me on the shoulder as he passed me and Aaron and I locked eyes.
We all sat down and ate, exchanging small chit chat every now and then. It wasn't until I had cleared my plate that Aaron grabbed my hand under the table. Kyle stared at me and Mom and Dad went on being completely oblivious to what was about to happen. I took a deep breath, squeezed Aaron's hand, and cleared my throat.
“Mom, Dad... there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.”
“What is it Lucas?” Mom asked.
“Well, you remember how when Kyle and I were growing up, we moved around a lot?”
“Yes,” Dad said, “I'm really sorry about how much we moved Lucas, but it was necessary.”
“I know Dad,” I said, “That's not what this is about.”
I paused and waited a moment.
“What's going on son?” Dad asked.
“Well,” I said taking a deeper breath, “because we moved around so much, the only example of a family I had was ours. Based on that I had this image in my head of who I was supposed to become when I got older. But a few years ago, I realized something. I realized that I'm never going to be able to be that person. And when I realized that, I got angry at myself for who I
was going to become. I repressed who I really was because I thought I was supposed to be someone else. And for the past few years, I've been trying to come to terms with and understand the person I really am.”
“Lucas,” Mom said, “What are you saying?”
“I'm saying... that...”
I looked at Aaron, and then at Kyle. They both nodded to me and I took a deep breath again.
“I'm...” I paused.
“What?” Dad asked.
“I'm gay,” I said.
Silence. My heart was pounding in my chest. Aaron squeezed my hand tighter as I squeezed back. I took in another deep breath. It seemed like an eternity before someone spoke.
“Are... are you sure?” Dad asked.
“Yes,” I said, “And that's why Aaron is here. He's my boyfriend.”
“Really?” Dad asked.
“Yeah,” I said.
“And this is what you want?” he asked.
“It is,” I said.
“I don't get it,” Mom said.
She got up and walked slowly out of the room. My heart plummeted and tears rushed to the back of my eyes. Kyle was getting ready to stand up, but I put my hand out to him.
“No,” I said, “I'll go.”
I got up and walked down the hall toward the stairs. Slowly, I climbed each step making my way to the top. My heart beat with every step I took and almost stopped when I reached my parents' door. I knocked three times on the door and whispered to my mom.
“Can I come in?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said.
The door opened slowly as I pushed it. I walked into the room, but didn't move past the doorway. She was sitting on her bed facing away from me. She didn't look at me, just waved a hand to signal me to come in. I stepped forward and walked slowly towards her side of the bed. I sat down next to her and looked at her, but she still didn't look up. She was crying.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
“I don't know,” she said.
“It's not your fault you know,” I said.
“I know honey, I know,” she said, “I just don't understand it.”
“To be honest I'm not quite sure I understand either,” I said.
She finally looked at me with a puzzled stare.
“When I found out, I was confused,” I said, “And I have spent the past three years trying to understand what this means.”
“What does it mean?” she asked.
“I honestly don't know,” I said, “I still don't understand it all. But when I met Aaron, I had this feeling inside me that told me it was okay.”
“You really like this boy don't you?” she asked.
“Yes I do,” I said.
“Do you love him?” she asked.
“Yes,” I said with a smile, “I do.”
“And you're happy this way?” she asked.
“Happier than I've ever been.”
“Well then,” she said with a sniffle, “I guess I have no choice but to be happy for you.”
“I guess you don't,” I said still smiling.
“I love you Lucas,” she said, “This doesn't change that.”
“I know,” I said, “I love you too. You wanna go back out there?”
“I need a minute,” she said.
“Okay...” I said.
I got up and walked towards the door. I heard her take in a deep breath. I walked out of the room to see Aaron sitting on the floor against the wall. He smiled when he saw me and stood up. I took him in my arms and sighed with relief when he wrapped his arms around me.

Aaron
“What are you doing out here?” Lucas asked.
“Your dad said I should be here just in case,” I said.
“That's sweet,” he said.
“Yeah,” I said, “He seems to be okay with it.”
“Thank God,” he said.
“How's your mom?”
“She's okay, she just needs some time to process it.”
“And how are you?”
“I'm okay,” he said, “Tired, but okay.”
“Oh well, you wanna go to bed?” I asked with a grin.
“Aaron,” he said.
“I know I was only jokin,” I said.
We walked downstairs to the guest room. Hand in hand, Lucas lead me through the doorway and sat down on the edge of the bed. He sat down next to me and pulled me towards him. I looked into his eyes and leaned in to kiss him. Our lips pressed together and a chill ran down my spine. My fingers ran softly across the skin on his arms and he moaned softly.
He pulled away, with a smile on his face. I was unhappy, but agreed that we should stop. Luke stood up and moved toward the door. I met him at the doorway and hugged him tightly. Our bodies were screaming to be together from the reactions we had every time we touched. I lightly kissed the side of his face as he placed his hand on the doorknob.
“Good night,” he said softly.
“Night,” I said, resisting my desires.
“I'll be upstairs if you need me,” he said.
He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. My head hung in disappointment, but knew we shouldn't do anything sexual. I knew it, but I didn't care. With lightning speed, I flung the door open and stepped outside. Lucas was still standing there, as if deciding whether or not to come back inside. I grabbed him and pulled him into me, kissing him with all my strength.
He pushed his body against mine and guided me to the bed after throwing the door closed. I lifted my shirt off of my body and he did the same. We climbed onto the bed together, both of us smiling to each other. Luke positioned himself on top of me and locked my in his against the bed. He leaned in and kissed my neck, moving down to my chest. The softness of his lips complemented each gentle kiss he planted on my skin. It was like being kissed by a ghost.
When he got to my waist, he paused for a second. He ran his hand along my stomach, making me shiver in excitement. His hand stopped at my belt buckle and he looked up at me. I nodded to him and I could see the passion in his eyes. With a few swift motions, he hand my pants unzipped and was pulling them down around my knees. He rubbed the fabric of my boxers at my crotch with his hand. I quickly stiffened and he pulled my throbbing cock from it's cotton prison.
He planted a kiss on the head of my cock before taking it into his mouth. I immediately let out a soft moan when I felt his tongue rub my shaft. His lips sent tiny shocks throughout my body as he moved up and down slowly. My grip on the sheets below me tightened as he massaged my balls with his hand. I moaned his name softly and his tongue flicked the head of my cock.
He pulled his mouth off of my cock and flashed me a devilish grin. His hands went under my legs and pushed them up a little. I saw his head disappear under my legs and suddenly felt something wet and slippery slide into my ass. I gasped at the feeling, but welcomed it. I spread my legs a little more to give him better access and moaned as his tongue moved around my hole. My body was squirming with the pleasure that Luke was causing. He was sending so many shocks through my body, I thought I was about to go over the edge.
“Luke stop,” I said gasping for air.
“What's wrong?” he asked wiping his face.
“I was about to cum,” I said with a smile.
“Damn, you're easy,” he said.
“Thanks jerk,” I said with a glare.
“Joking babe,” he said as he leaned in to kiss my neck again, “So you ready for this?”
He grabbed his crotch and shook it towards me. I giggled and nodded at him. His hands hooked under my legs and pushed them against my thighs. I made myself comfortable against the pillows while he unzipped his pants. When he had his underwear pulled off, he smiled at me with his cock pointed towards me.
He moved closer to me and pulled the drawer of the nightstand open. He pulled out a box of condoms and winked at me. I smiled and blushed a little at him. With his teeth, he opened the wrapper and pulled the condom out. He leaned forward and grabbed a bottle of lube out of the nightstand drawer as well, squirted some into his hand, and rolled the condom onto his gorgeous cock.
“Geez, what if someone actually went into that drawer?” I asked.
“Please,” he said, “I put this in here while you were asleep earlier.”
“Oh really? You were expecting this?” I asked.
“Of course not,” he said sarcastically.
He leaned forward and kissed me again. This time when he pulled away, I could feel the tip of his cock poking at my exposed hole. He slowly slid himself in and placed his hands on my knees. His grip tightened with every inch he pushed into me. By the time he was all the way in, I was gasping for air and he was squeezing my knees with the energy and passion of a bear.
His body tensed as every muscle flexed when I squeezed my asshole around his cock. Our moans were simultaneous each time he thrust into me. His thrusts were soft, but powerful at the same time, his touch was gentle while being passionate, and his eyes never left mine. With each thrust, his eyes penetrated my soul as his cock penetrated my hole.
And then it happened. We both tensed up as our muscles tightened. He leaned forward and kissed me. His tongue slid inside my mouth and danced with my own. He moaned into my mouth as his cock erupted inside me and at the same time, my cock exploded between our stomachs. With every ounce of energy inside of us, we simultaneously climaxed.
We were both gasping for air. Luke lifted himself up and smiled when he looked into my eyes. He sat up and looked at me with a big smile on his face. With his hand, he scooped up some of the cum on my stomach and licked it off. He smacked his lips together licked them with his tongue. I laughed at him and sat up to kiss him. Tasting myself on his lips, I moaned softly. He pulled away from the kiss and chuckled.
“We should go get cleaned up,” he said.
* * *
When we had gotten cleaned up and changed into some clothes to sleep in, we went up to Luke's bedroom. I had my bags with me and dropped them on the floor next to his closet. I looked in the open closet door and saw a rainbow flag hanging on the inside. I smiled and pointed to him with a questioning look on my face.
“When did you put this up?” I asked.
“A while ago,” he said.
“And your mom never asked?” I said.
“Uh,” he said, “We have a maid.”
I blinked and said, “Wow. I underestimated how rich you really are.”
“Now now, we've been through this before,” he said, “My parents are rich, not me.”
“Well,” I said, “You sure get a lot of perks.”
“Actually, now that you mention it... I was thinking about something,” he said.
“What's that?” I asked walking over to him and putting my hands on his hips.
“Well,” he said, “Seeing as how we're together almost every night already... and my parents agreed to pay for my living expenses.”
“Yeah?” I asked.
“I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get a place together when we go back next semester.”
“Are you... Are you asking me to move in with you?” I asked.
“A little,” he said.
“Really?” I asked.
“Kinda,” he said, “So will you?”
“Of course!” I exclaimed.
I hugged him tightly with a huge smile on my face. He lifted my face up to his and kissed me warmly. When he pulled away, he grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the bed. We got under the covers and I pushed myself up against him. Wrapped in his arms, I welcomed sleep as it crept up on me and took my consciousness away from me.
