"You should go back in there, talk to them" said Howie.

"No. They made it very clear how they feel. God, they want to send me to a shrink. They think they can fix this. I lay on some quack doctor's couch for a few hours. I make love to a woman and suddenly I'm not gay anymore" said Nick.

"They just don't understand, they need time. They think your not born gay, that you choose to be" said Howie.

"I don't care."

"Nick, family is important. I'm not worth loosing them. I can move out, I..." said Howie.

"Don't you know I can't imagine a life without your love" said Nick.

"But.."

"Your not moving out, no discussion" said Nick. Pulling into the drive. Nick shut the engine off and headed up the walkway.

"Are you coming?"

"Yeah. Hey,you want to order some pizza" said Howie.

"Sure."

"You want pineapple on yours, right?"

"Of course" said Nick.

"Why don't you pour some wine, while I order" said Howie.

"Wine, now their is something I could definitely use" said Nick. Kicking off his shoes Nick watched as the waves crashed to shore. He loved living on the beach, it was peaceful here.

"Did you open the wine" said Howie.

"Huh, no" said Nick.

"You know it's ok to be upset" said Howie.

"Why would I be upset. If they can't accept me for who I am, who needs them. Look, I don't want to talk about my parents. I want to hold you in my arms, enjoy some pizza and just relax. You know it will probably take 30 minutes for the pizza to arrive" said Nick smiling as he leaned closer.

"What did you have in mind" said Howie.

"What do you think>"

"I don't think it's such a good idea" said Howie.

"Come on, you know I can..."

"I think I should answer my phone" said Howie.

"Let it ring."

"You know I can't."

"Tell whoever it is we're trying to have a sexual moment here" said Nick shouting in the direction of the phone.

"Would you be quiet."

"Did I call at a bad time?" asked Kevin.

"No, Nick was just kidding. We weren't, could you hold on. I'm going to take this in the other room. You want to get the pizza" said Howie.

"Pizza?"

"The doorbell is ringing. You still there Kev" said Howie.

"It sounds like I really called at a bad time. I can call you tomorrow. I just wanted to see how things went" said Kevin.

"Not good. God, it was awful. His parents think he's confused. That I've convinced him he's gay."

"They said that." said Kevin.

"Yeah."

"I'm so sorry. How's Nick handling it."

"He say's he's fine but I think he's just trying to cover up how he really feels" said Howie.

"The pizza is going to get cold" shouted Nick.

"You know I think I really should let you go. I'll give Nick a ring tomorrow" said Kevin.

"Man, I'm hungry."

"You should have eaten" said Howie.

"I was waiting for you. So who was on the phone?" asked Nick.

"Kevin."

"Figures."

"How can you eat that" said Howie frowning.

"What, pineapple is good."

"Pineapple is a fruit. Fruit belongs on trees, not on pizza" said Howie.

"This wine is making me kind of sick. I think I should have stuck to Mountain Dew" said Nick.

"I'll bring you one, I'm going to get some cheese" said Howie.

"You know I think I'll have the rest of this for breakfast. I want to save some room for desert" said Nick.

"We don't have any desert. Remember, you ate the last of the ice cream yesterday" said Howie.

"I wasn't referring to that kind of desert" said Nick pulling Howie too him.

"Ah, so I'm desert." said Howie playfully pulling out of his reach.

"Where do you think your going" said Nick his mouth trailing down Howie's neck Howie could feel Nick's hot breath against his skin. Drawing their mouth's together. Howie moaned as Nick's tongue forcefully slipped inside. Forceful and needing his mouth worked a magic all it's own as his hand tugged at Howie's shirt pulling it over his head. Pushing Howie onto the bed he slid on top of him as his hot mouth found his chest moving downward. Oh, geez. Oh, God." said Howie moaning, as the almost dizzying scent of anticipation, of arousal, washed strongly over him. He slid his hands along Nick's hips, strong fingers slipping beneath the soft fabric of his sweats, kneading the firm flesh. Nick lifted his hips as Howie tugged at the waistband, pulling slowly until they were discarded. Howie's rigid erection pushing hard against his skin Nick's movements were controlled. He wanted to be lost in Howie. So lost that nothing mattered. His fingers buried into the flesh of Howie's back he slid into him with one hard thrust. Burying his face in the mass of crumpled sheets Howie fought back the scream that threatened to escape his mouth as Nick thrust into him over and over with great force. Their bodies moving in this perfect rhythm as their orgasms violently tore through each other. His face still buried in his pillow as if it were somehow frozen Howie made no movement as he felt the warmth of Nick's body replaced with a cool breeze.

"Hey, you ok" said Nick.

"You should fight with your parents more often" said Howie rolling over. That was..."

"Good?"

"I would say more like incredible" said Howie.

"Well their is more where that came from" said Nick smiling.

"I think we should take a breather."

"Fine with me. As long as I can lay here in your arms I am happy" said Nick.
