Chapter 9 – Loyalty to Self Proclaimed Justice


After school, I immediately head back to Nate to see how he's doing. My concern for that kid is just increasing by the seconds today.

"Luke where are you going?" Cody asks me, noticing I am leaving him behind.

"Oh… nowhere. Why?"

"Don't pretend with me. I can tell you're up to something. You know what? I'm going to go with you!" Cody smirks as he places himself beside me.

"Fine, you win. I was just going to go see Nate in the game room. I promised I would hang out with him for a little while before prom." I sigh. As long as I avoid talking about his secret for now, I don't think Nate will mind.

"Sounds like fun. Can I join in?" Cody wraps his arm around my shoulders.

"Of course. I'm sure Nate will be even happier if you come along." I smile at Cody. He seems awfully cheerful today. Then again, our prom is only a few hours away so how could he not be happy?


As we approach the game room, Cody stops at the entrance and places his right hand under my chin.

"Before we go in there, I just want to let you know that I am really happy I get to spend my high school prom with you. I am the luckiest person in the whole world!" He blushes as he wraps his arms around my neck, allowing them to drape down my spine.

Well I'm happy he thinks that. I, on the other hand, think I've been a terrible boyfriend these days. From keeping secrets to uncontrollably having an interest in his brother, I am certainly not a good example of a boyfriend who is making his lover the luckiest person in the whole world. That's for sure.

Cody begins kissing me again. For a moment, I suddenly forget about everything else. I forget about Zack, Nate, and even prom! All that matters to me at this very moment is Cody. Cody may have said that he is the luckiest person in the whole world, but I think that statement is much truer coming from my mouth.

"LUKE!" A young voice yells from behind. "There you are Luke! Geez, why does school have to be so long? I was waiting for…" Nate pauses when he realizes I am kissing Cody. "Oh…" Nate says, unsure of how to react as usual.

Cody decides to break the kiss after sensing Nate's uncertainty about it. "Sorry to alarm you like that Nate. Here, let me give you a kiss to make it fair." Cody smiles as he walks toward Nate.

Nate sticks out both of his hands and begins to back away. "Not on the lips though, right?" He says in a worried tone.

Cody begins to giggle. "As tempting as it may be to kiss you on the lips, I'll settle for kissing your cheek."

"Cool!" Nate says as he stops moving backward and slightly turns his head so that his cheek is facing Cody. Cody gives him a nice kiss on the cheek, but to his surprise, and mine as well, Nate kisses him on the cheek back.

"Wow Nate. You're a good kisser." Cody messes with Nate's hair as he raises Nate's spirit. I never knew Cody was so great with kids. I wonder if I'm this good with Nate…

"Really? I've never kissed anyone before!" He states, acting as if he's a natural kisser.

"There's a shocker. You've never kissed your mom before?" Cody asks, completely unaware of the water he is treading with such a question. Nate looks down in shame as tears begin to roll down his eyes. Maybe I should've warned Cody sooner.

"What's wrong Nate?" Cody gets on his knees and stares at the weeping child in confusion. I decide to step in as I walk toward Nate. I wrap my arms around him in an attempt to comfort him.

"It's okay Nate. I'm here for you. Remember? Besides, Cody didn't mean it. He doesn't know yet." I rub his back as my arms remain around him.

"What don't I know about? What's wrong?" Cody looks extremely puzzled, yet guilty.

"Am I allowed to tell him?" I ask the youngster as I release my grip from him and he stops crying. Nate still continues to wipe his eyes and sniffle as he nods his head symbolizing that I indeed am allowed to tell Cody about the absence of a parental figure in his life.

"Okay, well you see Cody. Nate doesn't exactly have parents. He kind of lost his parents a year ago." I sigh.

"Who takes care of him now?" Cody asks in shock and concern.

"Well, he's kind of been living on his own for a while. I promised him that I will take care of him though, so it's all good." I wink at Cody. Nate then begins to smile again as he runs up to me and gives me another hug. Cody, however, stares at me with widened eyes.

"Are you crazy? You can't just take care of a kid in secrecy like this! You're too young to raise him. We have to get him some help!" Cody firmly states. I've never seen Cody so serious with me before. He really is strongly against my decision. I look down at Nate who is quivering over Cody's response. I'm not sure why, but the fearful look in Nate's eyes made me all the more against Cody's point of view. The last thing I want is for Nate to have this look in his eyes for the rest of his life, and sending him to some unknown people in some unknown house will definitely not make Nate happy or make me confident that he is safe.

"No, Nate doesn't want to be sent to a foster home. He said he wants to stay on the boat with us. We should let him decide." I bark back.

"You can't just let him decide! You need to do what's best for him!" Cody screams at me. I gasp at the fact that Cody is reprimanding me. This is a side of him I've never seen before.

"Cody, please don't make me leave. I want to stay with you guys. Do you not want me here?" Nate replies with the most innocent face I have ever seen.

Cody takes a deep breath. "It's not that I don't want you to stay with us. In fact, I really wish you could. It's just that you need to be with someone who can take care of you."

"Whoever I end up going to would take care of me no better than you guys." Nate looks down.

Cody lifts his face and begins to stare at me intently. Based on his stare, I get the vibe that he thinks I am still wrong for doing this.

"Okay, as long as you are being properly taken care of I guess have no reason to be concerned. However, if you're staying I'll have to make sure you're safe as well. I can't leave Luke with all the responsibility." Cody begins to stroke Nate's hair while taking heavy breaths.

"Thanks Coderific. I'm glad you understand Nate's situation." I kiss Cody on the cheek as a way of thanking him.

"Now, I have to get everything ready for prom. Nate, do you want to help?" Cody smiles at him.

"That's a great idea! I have to go get ready myself, so it'll be pretty boring if you come with me. Unless you find watching Zack and I get dressed a fun thing to do." I laugh at my own sarcasm.

"I think I'll go with Cody! He needs my help anyway." Nate clenches onto his hand.

"Okay then. I'll see you two later tonight. Zack is probably wondering where I am anyway." I walk toward the exit of the game room.

"Thank you for understanding. I love you." I whisper into Cody's ear as I walk past him. I'm really glad Cody has decided to cooperate. Now not only do I have an awesome boyfriend that is going to help me through taking care of Nate, but Nate has obtained a new friend he can rely on.


"Hey Zack, could you throw me a pair of socks?" I say, getting ready for the big night.

Zack throws me the only pair of socks that could be spotted in the mess our room has become in the past few days. Sure Cody cleaned it on Friday, but that doesn't mean we should be expected to have our room tidy for any length of time.

"So Luke, are you excited about tonight?" Zack asks as he gets out of bed from a quick midday nap.

"Sure am! I am going to have the best prom ever. I knew I would be spending tonight with my boyfriend, but it's going to be even better now that you're going to be there." I state as I place my hand on Zack's back. I just want him to know I'm there for him.

"Woah there buddy. Is that a move you're making?" He says as if it were obvious. However, this would be the first time I actually wasn't making a move. He doesn't even suspect my moves at times, but this time he suspects a move that was nothing more than a friendly gesture.

I then push him toward the bathroom. "No way. I was just going to tell you that you stink. Go take a shower." I say, laughing under every word. I'm trying not to react poorly from his suspicion, so might as well flip it around on him.

After Zack gets in the shower, I begin to second guess myself. Was that really a subconscious move when I placed my hand on his back? Well, I doubt he'll be suspicious of me if I act like a friend as oppose to a creeper.

In a few minutes, I hear the doorknob twitching. Here he comes! Maybe I should jump out from under my bed and scare him? Yeah, that's not at all perverted, and it'll give us both a good laugh after the fact!

After I hear Zack exit the bathroom, I wait under the bed a bit to make my move and jump out at him. I see Zack's feet moving from under the bed, until they suddenly stop in front of my bed. He still doesn't seem to be aware of my presence though, so it's all good. I begin to tense up to as I get ready to pounce. Here I go!

I peek my head out, and try to scream to startle him, but instead am at a loss of words. To my surprise, instead of looking at the ordinary Zack I planned to scare, I am staring at Zack's completely naked body! He clearly doesn't even notice me either, because I am angled so that I can't see his face, just up to his shoulders! I still can verify it is definitely him based on the infamous beauty mark I am already aware of on his dick.

I pull my head back under the bed. Okay, this time I can honestly tell myself that I wasn't even trying to be perverted. However, my subconscious will definitely try to change that. I cannot listen to my subconscious. I just will not! I refuse! No matter how much my subconscious wants to check out Zack's sexy body… his perfect amazing body… where was I going with this again? Oh yeah, I can't look! Then again, he won't know and neither will anyone else. Maybe one peek won't hurt. I have seen it already, so it's not like the image in my head can get any sexier… I mean worse!

I slowly peek my head out from under the bed to find Zack sill naked, applying deodorant to his armpits. He has the absolute perfect amount of armpit hair. He doesn't have too much or too little. It's absolute perfection, just like every other part of his body.

I look at the door to find that he has it double locked. He'd better have it double locked if he's going to be pulling this kind of thing. After he finishes rubbing his armpits with deodorant, I see him pick up a second container out of his suitcase, one that I had never seen before. Could it be gel? He doesn't ever gel his hair, but maybe prom night is an exception.

To my surprise, the contents of the container become rather obvious when he lets some of it land on his hand. It is baby powder! Does that mean… oh yes…

I continue to watch as he clenches his hands together to get some baby power on each hand. He then begins apply the baby power to his dick in the most adorable way. It looks kind of like he's just playing with it.

As if I weren't excited enough from Zack doing this, he begins to get a boner from applying the powder. I look at it and approximate its size to be about five inches long. Not as big as mine or really that big at all, but it is still so sexy that it doesn't even matter!

I pull myself back under the bed to look at my rock hard member. I don't blame myself for getting a boner. I mean, look at what is going on only a few feet away from me! As tempting as it is to start pleasing myself, I realize that not only would it make a mess, but it might blow my cover. So I just ignore it and peek my head back outside.

This time when I look outside, I find Zack masturbating! Holy crap! His hand fits around his dick almost perfectly! There is practically no slack on his hand or dick. It's like a perfect fit! You know how I've been saying the past few things I have seen are the sexiest things ever? Like last night when I saw Zack's dick for the first time or when I saw Cody in the urinal. Well, I can assure you with certainty that this is indeed the hottest moment of my life!

"…Ughhh. Violet…" Zack moans. He's thinking about Violet? I should've thought as much. Even though I don't like her, it doesn't change the fact that what he is doing is the definition of sexy.

I watch Zack as he reaches his climax with amplifying moans each time he makes a stroke. He then reaches out his hand as he finally begins ejaculating. He catches most of the cum in his hand, but a small portion of it flies to the ground right beside me! I quickly scoop up the cum onto my finger and retreat under the bed.

As I stare at it, still fathoming over the fact that it is Zack's cum, reality smacks me in the face. I am getting interested in Zack again. After kissing Cody and us saying how much we love one another, this happens. I think I am eligible for the worst boyfriend ever, let alone Cody calling me the best one.

I lay my thumb on top of the finger I had picked up the cum with, and separate my fingers, watching as it sticks to both fingers. I want to stop being tempted. I really do. However, that is a lot easier said than done…

I close my eyes, trying to get my mind off of Zack's cum, and relax. I end up placing my hands on the portion of my stomach which is bare as a result of my shirt lifting at some point. I immediately am again stimulated by the warm feeling the cum gives my stomach. I can't take it anymore! I have to just get Zack out of my system and move on! If that means accepting that I am still far from not being into Zack, then I'll continue allowing myself to be curious. Of course I won't do anything that will intentionally hurt my relationship with Cody, but I will do little things that will scar me more mentally by not doing them than actually doing them.

I take the remainder of the cum on my finger and raise it to my mouth! I am just dying to taste cum, and the fact that it is Zack's, the same cum he will one day be using on a girl, makes it all the more hot. I place my finger on my tongue allowing the taste of it to lurk on my taste buds. As quickly as I place it on my tongue, I remove it in complete disgust. Apparently cum does not taste good at all!

I quickly cover my mouth, trying not to gag until I am certain Zack has left. I peek out from under the bed and see Zack completely dressed as he exits the bathroom. I notice his hands are still wet. At least he remembered to wash them unlike I did a few days ago when Nate saw me ejaculate.

I watch as Zack brushes his hair and applies cologne, fighting the urge to gag the whole time. After he seems to have done just about anything and everything possible, he finally begins walking out of the room.

I swiftly crawl out from under the bed, still holding back my gagging in case Zack is still right outside. I dart toward the bathroom and immediately wash my mouth out. Who knew that sperm tasted so bad? I wonder how the people in porn films drink it.

I make my way out of the bathroom and collapse onto my bed. That whole experience just completely wore me out. I know I still have prom to look forward to, but I just need a quick breather.

After a few seconds of lying down, I hear a screaming child from outside. I jump out of my bed and head for the door. I hope this isn't what I think it is. I kick the door open and stare down the hallway. My eyes widen as I look at what is going on from a distance.

Nate…


Here's chapter 9! Sorry if it was a bit inappropriate for anyone's taste. I promise that this is the last even slightly sexual interaction Luke will have with Zack. He might have one or two more backfiring occurrences with Zack (since I just love messing with Luke's head =P), but nothing else that involves nakedness.

Anyway, this time for your review I would like to know what you thought about Cody's reaction to the whole Nate thing and your thoughts of the whole scene with Zack. I know Luke can be a bit of a perve, but I just enjoy showing his perverted side! Also, you can try to guess in your review what is happening in the hallway that Luke sees. I pleasantly await seeing everyone's thoughts and I will try to update soon. No promises though since school is now starting! =)
