As Nathan spoke Ethan’s shoulder slumped slightly, when Ethan spoke his voice had a sad tone to it. “We’re trying to do our best but…….most people just don't like our music; but we can't get more money unless we bring in more listeners.”
Alex bit his lip; the situation sucked that was for sure. After a moment Nathan continued. “As it is we’ll probably have to shut down after the end of this school year, the school doesn’t want to keep paying us, and we can barely keep this place running even with their help.”
Alex nodded. “Well……..I guess I’d better do my best to help out around here then.”
Both Nathan and Ethan looked at him. “You……you still want the job?”
Alex nodded, smiling at them as he did so. “This is the only place that I found that will give me a job, even if it’s only for a year; I’ll take it.”
Nathan continued to look at him for a moment while Ethan smiled. “We can't pay you a lot. We had to beg the Dean to let us hire someone, so like us you’d only get $3. But we generally get a free meal from the pizza place around the corner so……….everything sort of works out.”
Alex grinned. “Where would you like me to start?”
MEANWHILE
JASON’S POV
Biting his lip Jason made up his mind, digging into his pocket Jason dialed the number on the scrap of paper and waited nervously as the phone rang. “Come on……come on…..pick up the phone.”
Expecting it to go to voicemail Jason had been about to start talking when the phone clicked and Anthony’s voice came through the other end. “Hello?”
Jason sighed, running his hand down his face with relief. “Anthony……it’s Me.”
After a moment of silence Anthony responded. “Who is me?”
Jason chuckled. “It’s me Jason, Alex’s brother. Look……….can we talk? I have practice in a few minutes but…….afterwards. I……I really need to talk to you.”
He could almost imagine Anthony nodding. “Of course Jason. Did you want to meet at my office or……..we could meet at my house?”
Biting his lip Jason thought for a moment. “Could……could we meet at your house? I…..I don't like doctor’s offices.”
Anthony chuckled. “Of course. I’ll text you directions. Just give me a call when you get out of practice. Ok?”
Jason nodded to himself. “Ok, Anthony. See you in an hour or so.”
Hanging up the phone Jason bit his lip as he turned his mind towards practice. Moving into the locker-room he growled at some of the players who moved to speak to him. As he pulled off his shirt tony, a large ram spoke to him. “Geeze dude what the fuck is your problem?!”
Again Jason growled. “None of your fuckin business tony! Piss off!”
He watched as tony bristled at this comment before the ram slammed his locker closed. “Fuck you Jason!”
Slamming his own locker closed Jason busied himself with pulling on the rest of his uniform before moving out onto the field, noting that most of the players went out of their way to avoid being near him. Sitting down on the bench Jason watched as coach moved out in front of them. “All of you passed your physicals from Dr. Robert. But I do know that some of you were given vitamins or told to modify your behavior. I want to make it clear; you will do as Robert instructed. If he gave you pills I expect you to take them, if he told you to exercise more you’ll do it. We will be having a follow up physical at some point and if Robert tells me you haven’t been doing as you’re told then you’ll be kicked off the team. Understand?”
The team mumbled a response of, “yes.”
Coach nodded. “Good. Now we’ve struggled these last two games. And we only won because our opponents let their guard down and got sloppy in the last few moments.”
Coach leaned in closer to them, his voice filled with anger. “THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. UNDERSTAND?”
Everyone nodded. “If this happens again then I’ll make you all come to practice 5 times a week!”
Every player groaned, if coach did that it would put a serious strain on their studies as well as their social lives. But coach growled in response to their moans.
“Then get your asses to the line and show me you KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE DOING OUT THERE!”
Moving with the rest of the players Jason was about to take his position in the line-up when coach grabbed his arm. “As for you Mister Jason……let me make one thing clear to you. Your attitude is piss-poor, your footwork is sloppy and if I didn’t know any better I’d say you were actually trying to hurt your teammates. Well I’ve had enough of it. So if you so much as blink at them in a way I don't like, not only will I pull you from the team I’ll make sure that you NEVER play football for this college again. Got it?!”
Jason nodded biting his lip so hard that it bled, while he balled his hands into fists, his finger nails digging painfully into his palms. A moment later he took his position in the lineup.
LATER
Tired but happy Alex pushed open the door to the house. His nostrils widened; sniffing the air as the smell of spaghetti wafted into his nose. “HEY. I’M HOME.”
A moment later Leo responded, “You’re home early. How was work?”
Moving into the kitchen Alex felt his eyes widen and his heart clench. In front of him Leo sat at the dining room table a smile covering his face. Next to him Leo had lit several candles which filled the room with flickering light. Alex bit his lip, willing himself not to cry at how beautiful Leo was. Seeing this Leo’s smile faltered slightly. “Alex…..Alex are you ok?”
Alex nodded, but his sides began to shake as he fought to keep himself from crying. It was so…..everything was so perfect right now. Leo stood up, moving to pull him unto a hug. “Alex…..tell me what’s wrong……please.”
But Alex shook his head, before burying it against Leo’s chest. “Nothing……nothing is wrong…..everything is…….everything is perfect.”
He looked up, capturing Leo’s lips in a gentle kiss. Everything around him was perfect, everything. He’d never been so happy in his life. Gently the kiss deepened, Alex groaned as he opened his lips slightly, allowing Leo access to his mouth which he took in a heartbeat. Alex groaned again, moving in as close to Leo as he could as they continued to kiss; shuddering as Leo’s hands trailed down the sides of his body. His heart beat against his chest and he could not help but groan as heat began to pool in his hips, a sign of his growing arousal. They broke apart, both of them panting for air. “Leo…….”
Alex’s voice was a whimper. He needed the older turtle RIGHT NOW. Leo leaned in nuzzling his neck for a moment before speaking. “Come on…..the food can wait.”
Alex yelped slightly as Leo lifted him off his feet. Alex’s arms wrapped around Leo’s neck as the older turtle carried him through the house, past their bedroom and into the master bathroom. Again Alex moaned as Leo shifted gently setting him down on the counter before claiming his lips again. he shifted, moving so as to allow Leo to pull began tugging his shirt off; breaking the kiss for a moment as Leo pulled the article of clothing over Alex’s head. A moment later they were kissing again, this time Alex shuddering as Leo began to play with the waist line of his jeans. He broke the kiss, burying his face against Leo’s neck as the older turtle slowly unbuttoned his pants and slowly, agonizingly slowly tugged them down lower and lower until they fell away leaning Alex in only his underwear.
He whimpered as Leo pulled back slightly, the sudden loss of contact and heat making Alex a little cold. He moved forward pressing their bodies’ back together while his own hands roamed Leo’s body, playing with the soft fabric of his shirt before slowly unbuttoning the dress shirt and throwing it away. Next came the pants, making Alex squirm and groan as in front of him Leo slowly pulled off his jeans before stepping out of them to press their bodies against each other again. His hands moved, roaming along Leo’s chest as the bigger turtle pulled his into another kiss, while Leo’s hands slowly traced Alex’s chutes. Despite how badly he wanted this
Alex could not help but squirm and whimper slightly as Leo’s hands dipped lower and lower, until they brushed against Alex's underwear.
He gasped; breaking their kiss as Leo slowly slipped his hands under the fabric cupping Alex’s hips. He panted, whimpering as Leo gently rubbed his thumbs in circles, agonizingly close to Alex’s slit, sending small washes of pleasure through his body. He groaned, shifting forward so their pelvises could rub and grind against each other. “I love you so much.”
He didn’t give Leo a chance to respond as he claimed Leo’s lips, his tongue diving into Leo’s mouth. He pushed his body against Leo’s, loving the frication that came from grinding their bodies against each other. He hands roamed Leo’s hips, coming to stop on top of the large bulge that was Leo’s arousal. He felt Leo break the kiss, the older turtle’s head going back as Alex’s hand pressed against his pouch. The young turtle had learned VERY quickly how to drive him wild. He panted, grunted and groaned as Alex continued, first running single finger down Leo’s slit before pressing his whole palm again it, making Leo’s breathe hitch slightly. He grunted, pushing past the pleasure; stripping Alex of his underwear, the last article of clothing he was wearing leaving him completely naked. Alex chuckled, continuing to run his hand against Leo’s slit while his free hand mimic’s Leo’s tugging his boxers down to the ground. A second later he was in Leo’s arms as the older turtle scooped him up and carried him into the shower, pausing just long enough to turn on the water. Alex groaned as the warm water began to cascade down their skin adding another layer to the sensations he was feeling. He grunted ass Leo backed up his shell hitting a wall before sliding down to sit on the floor while they continued to kiss; only breaking the kiss when Leo’s whole body shuddered.
Alex grinned watching Leo take a deep breath while his head rolled back; as his organ slipped free from his pouch. Leo grunted, lances of pleasure firing through his body as Alex slowly began to move, pumping Leo’s organ making him let out a low chur. “A….Alex…..”
Leo’s voice was husky as his head tipped back a bit further. Leaning in closer Alex nuzzled Leo’s neck, licking at the soft and sensitive skin. “Shhhhhh, just enjoy it Leo.”
He gripped Leo a little tighter making the older turtle jerk slightly his hands coming up to squeeze Alex’s hips. He grunted and groaned his hips starting to jerk on their own, humping against Alex’s hand which continued to pump him, while he felt Alex shift in his arms. He gripped Alex’s hips, holding the young turtle in place as Alex tried to move lower. “Alex…….you don't…..”
But Leo’s words were cut off by Alex’s lips. He knew what Alex wanted to do, part of him wanted it too. But he’d promised Alex he’d never again have to do something like that ever again. He groaned pulling Alex deeper into the kiss, willing the younger turtle to understand that he was perfectly content to stay like this. A gentle growl came from his throat as Alex stopped pumping him, a small smiling playing across the young turtle’s face as they pulled apart slightly. “It’s ok Leo, I want to.”
He felt Leo groaned, trying to stop him as he shifted, pushing away from Leo slightly before trailing kisses down Leo’s neck, chest, stomach, and hips before……he looked up, blushing as he found Leo’s eyes upon him; watching his every move. In front of him Leo’s organ begged for attention; which he readily gave it, flicking his tongue out across the thick warm shaft. Above him Leo let out an involuntary gasp, his eyes drifting closed while his head rolled back to rest against the stone wall of the shower. Leo panted, pleasure bubbling through his body as he felt Alex continue to lick his organ before slowly taking it into his mouth; enticing a moan from Leo. He bit his lip, panting and gasping as Alex moved, slowly bobbing his head up and down along his shaft, flicking his tongue across Leo’s swollen tip. His toes curled and uncurled while his heart rate jumped several beats.
He moaned as he felt Alex slip down a little further taking more of him into his mouth. His eyes rolled back as he felt pleasure begin to rush through his body. All around him water dripped and trickled down his skin adding to the feelings of pleasure that raced through his body. He gasped, his hands clamping and unclamping as he felt the pleasure built up in his body, making him moan louder and louder. His hand scrambled, searching for Alex’s hand which he gripped tightly, feeling himself come to the very edge of his endurance. “ALEX…..I’M…..AHHHHHH!”
All at once his body locked up, his hand tightened around Alex’s fingers as white hot pleasure blasted through his body, making his head snap back while his back arched. He panted, gasping for breath as his organ throbbed and spasmed sending wave after wave pulsing through his body. He grunted reaching down to grab Alex by his shell before pulling the younger turtle against his body, his lips crushing themselves against Alex’s in a desperate kiss, willing the younger turtle to feel even a fraction of the pleasure that was rushing through his body. He moaned and grunted, his tongue moving in to claim Alex’s mouth; as he felt Alex’s hand dip downwards and resume pumping his organ coating Alex’s fingers in his seed.
He broke the kiss, his lips going to Alex’s neck and he sucked and licked at the sensitive skin, making Alex whimper and groan as his head tilted back, giving Leo access to more of his flesh. He growled something about Alex’s moans egged him on, made him suck on the younger turtle’s skin harder and harder until it left a vivid red mark upon the green skin. He looked down at it; the mark he’d left on Alex’s skin.
It wasn't enough; he wanted to mark Alex again, to let anyone who saw his shoulder know he had a mate. Again he attacked Alex’s neck, sucking at the patch of skin just above the first mark, he felt Alex’s grip around his neck tighten, not enough to tell Leo he was hurting Alex, but enough to know Alex was enjoying this. He growled, gently running his teeth against Alex’s flesh as he sucked and licked at the skin, pulling back to examine the twin red marks he’d made.
He felt Alex moan and bury his face against Leo’s shoulder, panting as Leo’s hand wrapped around Alex’s member, gently pumping it until the younger turtle reached his own release. Leo smiling, nuzzling Alex’s neck as the younger turtle groaned and shuddered, releasing his seed, coating Leo’s hand and fingers. He groaned, biting his lip as he buried his face against Leo’s shoulder, riding out the waves of pleasure that made his body quiver. His orgasm wasn't as powerful as Leo’s had been, he was ok with that. He felt Leo shift, wrapping his arms around Alex's waist, pulling him in a little closer.
They stayed like this for a while, both of them basking in the gentle warmth of their afterglow while warm water dripped and trickled down their skin. Gently Leo nuzzled Alex neck, gently licking at the twin red marks he’d left on the young turtle’s body. After several minutes Alex groaned, slowly shifting; rolling over so his shell was against Leo’s chest. Leo felt Alex grip his wrists, slowly pulling his arms over his chest in a hug. Leo smiled, pulling Alex in a little closer as Alex let out a gentle chur, a sign of how happy he was. Leo’s own chur mixed with Alex’s making the air in the shower vibrate for several minutes. “I love you Leo.”
Leo squeezed Alex gently. “I love you to Alex.”
Despite the tender moment Alex could not help but giggle. Every time Leo said that it made him feel giddy, like he wanted to run up to the roof and shout for the whole world to hear that he and Leo loved each other. But he didn’t there were a thousand reasons why he couldn't reason number 1 being that he was too busy enjoying being held by Leo right now. After several more minutes Leo spoke. “We……should get out now. The food is probably ice cold…..and I have a present for you.”
Alex shifted, looking back at Leo who smiled at him. “What is it?”
Leo chuckled and gave him another light squeeze before moving to stand up. “You’ll have to open it and see.”
Alex giggled again as Leo pulled him to his feet before lifting him up into his arms. He buried his face against Leo’s chest, reviling in the scent Leo let off as they moved out of the shower, pausing long enough for Leo to shut off the water wi
th his foot. Slowly setting Alex down on his feet Leo reached back and grabbed a towel before moving to dry Alex off, an act that made him giggle and shriek as Leo rubbed the towel all over his body; the soft cloth tickling his sides. He groaned, leaning in closer as Leo’s lips met his in a gentle kiss. He moved in closer wrapping his arms around Leo’s neck while their chests and hips rubbed together. After a moment they broke apart, Leo gripping Alex’s hand as he led him from the bathroom and into the bedroom. Gently pushing him down onto the bed Leo grinned. “Wait here. I’ll be right back.”
He watched as Leo moved across the room kneeling down to dig around in the closet for a moment before turning around with a paper package in his hands. “I…….I meant to wrap it, but you got home early…...sorry”
Moving back to Alex Leo handed Alex the package and watched as the young turtle undid the bands of tape that held the plain brown paper in place. He watched as Alex peeled back the paper revealing the garment inside. His heart clenched as he saw Alex’s eyes widen slightly. “L…..L…..Leo?”
He watched as Alex reached out, gently touching the fabric only to flinch slightly. “I…..I…..it’s real?”
Leo nodded watching as Alex began to tremble slightly. “Alex?”
But Alex continued to tremble as he slowly picked up the folded cloth revealing its true form. He felt his breath hitch in his chest as he ran his fingers over the soft smooth silk, his fingers barely touching the garment for fear of getting it dirty. His fingers ghosted over the flowers stitched into the sides, the hand sewn seams, and the beautiful fabric. Slowly he shifted, his hand going to his face to try and stop the tears that were leaking from his eyes. A moment later Leo was hugging him, trying to comfort him. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Alex. I…..I…..I’m so sorry.”
