Ocean and I made sure that everything in the house that indicated us being in a relationship was hidden. There were none of the pictures that I had printed out with the two of us together. There were no items with his name on it. And his personal items in our room had been hidden. I knew that this was for the best, but I hated having to lie and hide like this. It wasn't good for us or the trust that our friends had in us. I longed for the days that we could be out in the open.
At least we were still wearing our rings on those chains. I knew that he would never take them off unless it was for swimming. He loved that ring as much as I did, and since I gave it to him last weekend, I had seen him reach up and grab it like it was a good luck charm or something. That made me smile every time that I saw it..
With the house ready though, we didn't have much to do but wait for our two friends to arrive. I knew that they would want to eat while they were here, and while I could just order some pizza, I actually preferred to cook something. We would probably still need more food and I would end up adding to it with some pizzas, but I thought that a home cooked dinner would be nice too. Something that was easy to eat while we gamed in front of the ninety-eight inch TV in the game room.
I thought that it would be easier to play in there than in my room, less chance of us being found out or anything like that. I wanted this night to go well, for Ocean's sake. I would do anything for him.
Ocean was all for helping me to cook the food for the night. He had actually been getting better, bit by bit. He and I usually cooked every dinner together and that was helping him to get to where he was no longer a hazard in the kitchen. I was so proud of him.
Together the two of us worked on making chicken wings, bacon cheddar potato skins, baked ham and Colby sandwiches, mini crab cakes, bacon wrapped scallops and lobster mac and cheese bites. We also made some desserts that we could all share later. There were chocolate chip cookies, pecan pie bars, and seven layer brownies. Aside from all of that, which were all able to be eaten with your hands, and weren't all that messy, I also made a big pot of spaghetti with red sauce that would supplement the food because we were all teenage boys and two of us ate more than most of the others our age.
After all of that was done, it was just a few minutes to six and we barely had time to clean up before the guys got here. Literally, we had just finished sticking the dishes in the dishwasher and washing our hands when the doorbell rang.
Ocean was pretending that he didn't live here so he wasn't the one to go and answer the door. Instead, he just flopped onto a chair in the living room and acted like a guest.
"Comfy?" I asked him as I walked by.
"Not at all, you're not sitting with me." He winked and his cheeks became slightly pink. He was trying to be smooth and all that, but he was still just my adorable and bashful Ocean.
"You dork." I shook my head at him and opened the door.
I could see the two of them through the window next to the door as I walked up. They appeared to be joking around and there was a massive smile on Ben's face. This was going to be a good night for him because it was more time that he got to spend with Ryan. I hoped that things worked out for him eventually, like it did for me and Ocean.
"Hey." I waved at them as I opened the door. "Come on in."
"You know, Kai, I had heard this place was huge, but it's way bigger than I thought it would be." Ryan seemed to be in awe.
"And I see you've decorated for the holiday. Was that your parents' idea?" Ben was looking at the wide ribbon on the columns near the door.
"No, my parents are out of town. That was all me."
"Sweet, I didn't take you for the Christmas superfan, but that's pretty cool too." Ryan was laughing as he finally stepped inside and stopped looking at the decorations.
"What can I say, I had the holiday spirit."
When we went inside, they saw the massive tree before they saw Ocean on the couch.
"Holy fucking shit! That is a massive Christmas tree." Ryan seemed unable to contain himself there either.
"Yeah, the staff helped me to get a really good one. Anyway, don't worry about that, come on. I have food ready and there is a mountain of movies and games upstairs waiting for us."
"Sweet, let's go." Ryan was already heading to the stairs.
"Hey, dipshit, help us carry the food up there if you want to eat." Ocean laughed at him and his eagerness.
"Lame." Ryan's drawn out word made us all laugh, but he came into the kitchen nonetheless and helped us to grab some of the plates and carry the food up. It took each of us two trips to carry it all up there, I was just glad that we had a fully stocked fridge up there and didn't need to carry the drinks. I had made sure to fill it earlier this week.
The four of us settled into the game room and all I could do was look at the eyes of Ben and Ryan as they saw the massive screen on the wall. This was not a TV that you would find in most people's houses. It required custom installation and cost over sixty thousand dollars. My parents truly were over the top sometimes.
We started with playing some games while we ate. It ended up being a team match in a brawl style fighter and, of course, it was me and Ocean versus Ben and Ryan. A heated battle ensued and after the second match was over, we were tied and needed to fight another one to determine the winner. We were all also eating while we played. The food had been a massive hit, Ben and Ryan had been surprised to find out that we had cooked the food together.
After the third match was over, we decided it was time to watch a movie instead of playing some more games.
"I'm going to hit the head before the movie. Where's your bathroom." Ryan stood and looked at me then the door.
"To your left and two doors down on the right." I gave him the directions.
"Thank you, I will be right back. Fire up that DVD player."
Just after he shut the door, Ben turned to look at me with serious eyes.
"Are the two of you living together now?"
"What?" There was shock in Ocean's voice when he heard that question.
"Why do you ask that?" I was curious and slightly nervous.
"You have an ornament on your tree that says, 'OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS TOGETHER', and it has the year written at the bottom of it. Not to mention I am sure that it also has your names on it." Ben was a little angry that we had that, but why?
"W..w..well, y..y..y..you s..s..s..s-."
"Yes, we are." Ocean couldn't get the words out, so I just answered him honestly. "I am sorry we didn't tell you, but we're keeping it a secret."
"I don't care, and I am happy for you two really, but you need to be more careful. I am sure you hid the pictures or whatever you might have, but you forgot that. Thankfully I don't think that Ryan saw it at all."
"Don't think I saw what?" Ryan asked as he came back into the room.
"N..nothing." Ben stammered.
"Uh huh." Ryan looked at him with suspicion for a moment then at the two of us. "If you're talking about that ornament, I saw it. I don't care that the two of you are dating. More power to you, it doesn't affect me at all, so I don't care."
"Y..y..y..you don't mind that they're gay?" Ben seemed shocked by that.
"Why would I? I'm not gay so it's not like they're going to come onto me. They want to be together, fine. Honestly, I don't blame Ocean for being turned off of women permanently after that skank had him. She could probably turn any man gay. She'd even turn a lesbian straight. Seriously, Ocean, you're better off now."
All four of us laughed at that. It was true and funny at the same time.
After that, we watched a movie and then went back to playing video games. We ended up playing them until it got to be so late that the two of them stayed the night. They had their own guest rooms for the night and were shocked by the massive breakfast that Yvette made for us. It was a good weekend with our friends and an amazing start to our winter break.
Now though, Ocean and I had two whole weeks with no school, no swim practice, just the two of us and whatever it was that we wanted to do. I am sure that we would be spending a lot of it naked and in our room but, aside from that, we had a lot available to us. I couldn't wait.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
