Boys in Bed
by David Heulfryn

 

Finn felt alone. Max and James had spent the day in Cockaigne after their visit to the doctor. Owen took Finn to one side when he got home and explained the situation. Finn understood, but he still felt pushed out.

Max and James went up to the bedroom after dinner, and Owen suggested to Finn that he give them some time together.

It was nearly nine o’clock, and Finn was bored. He stood up, declared that he was going to bed and left. Owen was about to say something, but Finn was gone before he could speak.

“He’s not happy,” Owen whispered to Lily.

“We’ve tried to keep him busy, but he wanted to be with Max and James. It’s difficult for him. He’s got no friends here, so he’s relied on Max more than usual. Now James is here, Max obviously wants to be with him. I suppose if we thought it through, we could have brought one of Finn’s friends over.”

“I know, Love.” Owen squeezed Lily’s knee. “Do you know Rick’s Mum’s number?”

“Are you seriously thinking of getting up early again? You’ve got work on Monday. You need some rest.”

“If Rick can come over for a week, it will be worth it,” Owen said. “It’s the school holidays, so I hope he can come.”

“We’re short of beds if we have to put up another teenage boy,” Lily said.

“Look, Max and Finn aren’t opposed to sharing the same bed. So we’ll be fine.”

“I’ll give her a call now.”

Owen kept looking at Lily expectantly. She was speaking and asking if Rick wanted to come over to cheer up Finn. Owen huffed as she shook her head. They were going on holiday for a fortnight. But they did say they’d sort something out when they got back.

 

Finn brushed his teeth and then went into his bedroom. Max and James were surprised by the intrusion. They were lying together on Max’s bed, kissing and whispering sweet words to each other.

“I’m going to bed,” Finn said briskly and got into bed. He lay facing the wall, away from Max and James.

Max sat up and looked over at him, “Finn? Are you alright?”

“Fucking fine.” Finn spat out.

James felt awkward. He whispered to Max that he’d leave them alone. He didn’t know what to do, so he went into the spare room and lay on the bed.

Now alone with him, Max sat on Finn’s bed. He placed his hand on Finn’s bare shoulder.

“Tell me, Min.” Finn shrugged Max’s hand from his shoulder. “I know I’ve upset you. I hate to see you mad at me. Is it James?”

“It’s all of you. The moment James got here, I was fucking invisible. It was you and him. Even Dad brushed me aside. It was like I didn’t fucking exist.” Finn started to cry.

“I’m sorry, Min.”

“Don’t fucking call me that!” Finn spat out.

Max felt a tear form. It was bad. He didn’t know what to do. His mind reeling. Max sat on the bed and stared into space.

“Finn,” He whispered, “I’m so sorry. It was all about James when he got here, I had to tell him what we knew, and then Dad whisked us off to the doctor. Afterwards, we didn’t think. I suggested that we spend the day with each other. Please don’t take this out on him. It’s all my fault, Finn.”

“I don’t blame James. I blame you and Dad. If it was me with my mate today and you left on your own without knowing what the fuck is going on, how would you feel?”

“I’d feel like shit, Min.” Max stuttered and corrected himself, “Sorry, Finn. I’d feel like shit, Finn.”

“Even when you got back, you virtually ignored me.”

“All I can say is sorry, Finn. There’s nothing I can do about how I behaved today. I never looked at it from your eyes. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.”

“Fucking worthless.” Finn cried.

“You’re not worthless. I was selfish. I was a bastard. You should feel angry at me.”

Finn turned over and looked at Max. His eyes were red and glistened in the harsh light. “I could never hate you, Max.”

“That’s because you are a truly wonderful person.” Max bent down and kissed Finn on the lips. He tasted the saltiness of his tears.

“I’m all alone, Max.” Finn sniffed, “We’re all new here. School hasn’t started, so I literally know no one here. I thought I could rely on you. I thought we could rely on each other.”

Max sat motionless, ashamed of himself. He started to cry. Today had been a valuable lesson for him.

“How can I make it up to you?” Max finally spoke.

“I don’t know. I just feel like shit at the moment.”

“I was going to ask you if you minded if James slept with me in my bed tonight. But I’ll tell him he needs to sleep in the spare room.”

“Don’t.” Finn sounded firm, “That would make me feel worse. I don’t want to split you up.”

“I really don’t mind, Finn.”

“But I do. James is here. He would be in your bed tonight if I wasn’t throwing a tantrum.”

Max stroked Finn’s hair, “You’re not throwing a tantrum. You’re upset, and you have good reason to be. You have a horrible and selfish older brother.”

Finn looked at Max and sniffed away some tears. “You’re not horrible. But you can be selfish sometimes.” He forced a wry smile.

“You deserve a brother like mine.” Max carried on stroking Finn’s hair, “He’s cute and sweet and is always thinking about others. And when he does think about himself, he feels guilty.”

“He does sound like a good brother.” Finn sniffed.

“He’s the best, Min.”

Finn got up and hugged his brother. “Go get James and come to bed.”

Max gave Finn a squeeze and smiled. “What did I say? My brother is the best.”

Finn lay back down as Max left the room. He was soon back, followed by James.

“Thank you, Finn,” James said.

“I’ll go tell Mum and Dad we’re going to bed.” Max left again, leaving James alone with Finn.

James sat on Max’s bed, looking over at Finn. “I’m sorry. I had no idea.”

“It’s not your fault,” Finn told him.

“But I feel it’s partly my fault.”

“Really, James. It’s fine. I’m fine now. Max and I have talked. I’ll be fine. It’s been a difficult day for both of us. I couldn’t cope with facing my boyfriend’s Dad if he was told that I was having sex with his son.”

James blushed.

Max came back, “They say you can sleep in my bed.” He told James. “Dad says that having Finn in the room would put us off playing with each other.”

Finn let out a little giggle.

“Come on, James, let’s get ready for bed.” James watched as Max stripped naked. James didn’t move but just watched his boyfriend. “What’s wrong?” Max asked him, “You know we sleep naked.”

James stuttered, “I just thought that after your Dad knowing… he wouldn’t want us to be naked in bed together.”

Max smiled, “He said nothing would change. So get those clothes off.”

Finn watched as James stripped. He liked looking at James. He was older and more mature. His cock was thicker and longer than his, even Max’s. His pubes looked dense, and a thin trail crept up to his navel. He loved that little trail of hair and wished his own pubes would grow like that. Although his chest was hairless, Finn liked how his body widened to his shoulders and the small tufts of hair that protruded from his armpits. Finn wasn’t lusting after Max’s boyfriend; he admired his older body, a clue to how his own body might grow. Finn was still young, and although he had started maturing, his cock was growing, and his pubes were blooming, but his body was still that of a young boy, his shoulders barely wider than his hips, his underarm hair fair and scarcely noticeable.

Max took James into the bathroom to brush their teeth. Finn now felt foolish. Looking at how Max and James looked at each other, he knew they loved each other and was glad they were together.

When they returned, Max waited by the light switch as James got into Max’s bed. He looked over at Finn to make sure he was ready for the light to go out. Finn smiled at him, and then they were in the dark.

Finn snuggled under his duvet but was disturbed by Max getting into his bed.

“Max,” Finn was surprised, “What about James?”

“I want to be with you at the moment, Min.” Max spooned his brother. “James is fine with it.” He whispered in his ear.

“Thank you, Max.” Finn wiggled, rubbing his back and arse against Max.

“I’m so glad today is over.” James sighed. “It was so embarrassing, Finn. Not only your Dad knowing about Max and me, but having to go to the doctor and get checked over.”

“Did Dad go in with you?” Finn asked.

“Thankfully not. But Max was.”

“Imagine how I felt with my Dad there and the doctor interrogating me about my sex life and then shoving a cotton bud down your cock. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.” Max said. “He got hard in front of the Doctor,” Max whispered in Finn’s ear.

“What did you just tell him?” James asked and heard Finn giggle. “You haven’t told him, have you?”

Max laughed, “Sorry, James. But I couldn’t keep it to myself. Your face went bright red as he touched you. At least he didn’t cum, like I did.” Max told Finn.

“You came?” James was aghast.

“Not at the Doctor’s, but when I got my permit,” Max told James. “The man kept touching me, measuring me. I couldn’t help it.”

“I’m sure he was thinking of you when he came.” Finn giggled.

“Yeah, right.” James huffed. “Your brother is a horny toad. He’s always checking out other guys.” James joked.

“I am not!” Max protested.

“You are, Max.” Finn agreed, “You’re always checking out my cock.”

“Well, it’s difficult not to look at your cock, Min. You’ve always got it out.”

“You’re the one that outed me as a naturist, Max. So surely you should be used to seeing my cock by now.”

Max squeezed Finn. “I love your cock, Min. And I love the beautiful young man it is attached to.”

“James?” Finn said.

“Yes, Min.”

“Do you realise your boyfriend is getting hard and poking me?” Finn giggled.

“He must be thinking about me.” James laughed. “If it’s disturbing you, just punch him in the balls, and it will go away.”

Finn laughed, “Can I?” He twisted his head to look at Max.

“No, you can’t!” Max gave Finn’s bare shoulder a friendly slap.

“So what’s happening tomorrow?” James asked.

“Well, I intend to spend the entire day with the person I love the most,” Max said.

After a moment’s silence, Finn said. “Well, James. It sounds like you’re spending the day with our parents.”

The three boys laughed.

“Let’s think about it in the morning. Either way, it’s going to be the three of us.” Max said.

“Thanks, Max,” Finn said. “Now fuck off out of my bed and join your boyfriend.”

“Really?” Max asked.

“Really. I’m sure James hasn’t come to visit, only to sleep alone.”

“Thanks, Min.” Max climbed out of bed, kissing Finn’s forehead before joining James.

James spooned Max, and they snuggled together. He stroked his hand down Max’s body and grasped his hard cock.

“Thanks, Min.” James said, “You’ve sent him over to me with a hard-on.”

“He’s had a hard-on for you for months.” Finn giggled.

“I’m so lucky,” Max said. “I have two of the best people in my life looking after me.”

“I love you, Max,” Finn said. “I love you too, James.”

“I love you, Min,” James said. “I love you too, Max.” He whispered in Max’s ear.

Max said how much he loved both his brother and his boyfriend, and after an emotional evening, he fell asleep with James’ hand still holding his cock.
