Aiden ~ Book I

Chapter Six: Boy Bonding

Thank you for coming back to Aiden’s story. Aiden and Gordon discover a couple of things about themselves and about their bodies. It’s all in fun until they get caught.

A big thanks to the many readers who have sent me emails. Those emails are my salary—they let me know I have an audience. You can contact me at thehakaanen@hotmail.com.


Flo and Larry entered the foyer just in time to see two pert pink asses attached to two young boys disappear up the stairs.

"Did I just see what I thought I saw?"Flo asked Larry.

"If you think you saw two naked boys racing up the stairs, then you did indeed see what you thought you saw,"Larry grinned.

"How can you smile about that, Larry Sanders?"Flo grumbled. "Oh, that son of mine is SO in trouble."

"It is obvious you’ve never been a boy,"Larry told her.

"Not unless I’ve undergone a sex-change operation I didn’t know about. But what does not having been a boy have to do with what we just witnessed?"

"I have a feeling that the two boys issued each other a dare as a way of bonding—it’s a boy thing.”

Flo frowned. "So, you’re going to do nothing about it?"

"Right now everything is a learning experience for Aiden. Before the day is out, I plan to let him know that his behavior was inappropriate since we had a guest at the house.”

"That’s it? Nothing about being naked at any other time? You surprise me, Larry Sanders.”

Larry shrugged. "While I have no plans to turn my house into a nudist colony, I am not going to freak out if he does something like going from the shower room in the basement to his room without bothering to get dressed. On the flip side, I expect him to be appropriately dressed around the house most of the time."He didn’t bother to tell her that appropriately dressed often meant wearing nothing but a pair of underpants. At least that was how things seemed to have unfolded in Aiden’s first couple of days in his new home.

"Whatever works for you,"Flo said. "I know all three of you are male."Then she flashed Larry a grin and added, "Or maybe all three of you are boys after all."

"Just because I grow older doesn’t mean I have to grow up."

Flo laughed. "Well, if this is a boy thing, as you claim, I think I’ll let Aaron handle it. He might be a middle school principal, but when I watch him in action with Gordon, I still see a lot of little boy in him."

Upstairs in Aiden’s room, the two naked boys were flopped on the bed, giggling over the successful conclusion of their daring adventure. "Nobody saw us,"Aiden boasted. "No way we get into trouble."

"That was fun," Gordon agreed. "I wish I could be naked at my house."

"I don’t know if I can be naked here. I’m still learning what I can do and what I can’t. Most of it is what I can’t do, which kinda sucks."Once again, Aiden thought about what life with his Uncle Troy would be like.

"Whose class are you going to be in?"Gordon asked. The boys already knew they would be going to the same elementary school, but they hadn’t had time to discuss whose class they would be assigned. In fact, they had been so active, they really hadn’t had time to discuss much of anything. Lying together naked on Aiden’s bed, the time seemed to be right for boy chat.

Aiden was unconsciously playing with his little cock as he chatted with Gordon. He often played with it because it felt good. Parker and Tim had told him there was more to touching himself than just feeling good, but none of it made any sense to him. He was content with simply touching himself.

Gordon noticed, of course, as Aiden answered his question. "I got Mr. Knox," Aiden told him.

"Oh, cool, I got him, too. He’s really nice. Everybody says he’s kinda strict but is still nice."

"I went to two schools in third grade and both of my teachers were nice, I guess. I kinda got in trouble a lot at one school. Everybody picked on me because I was new, so I’d get in fights."

"I’ve never been in a fight."Gordon decided since Aiden was playing with his wiener he’d play with his own. Like any boy, he liked how it felt when he played with himself. Unlike Aiden, he had no idea there was supposed to be an end result beyond just feeling good while he manipulated himself.

"I’ve been in lots of them. I don’t like fighting, but I don’t like peeps thinking they can pick on me."

Gordon decided to switch topics. "Who all is coming to your birthday party?"

"I guess you and your mom and dad. My Uncle Troy and my two cousins. I don’t know about my Aunt Sue—nobody said if she is coming. That’s about all,"Aiden said sadly as if he was used to big birthday parties. What he didn’t say is this party would be bigger than any birthday party he’d ever had.

"How old are your cousins?"

"I think Chase is eleven. I dunno about Logan, but he’s like seven or eight or something like that.”

"Do you think my friend Miles could come, too? Then you’d be making two friends. Miles is one of my best friends."

Aiden flashed his signature grin. "That would be real cool."Then he dropped his grin as fast as he’d flashed it. "But I gotta ask my uncles first."

"So ask them."

"I will when we go back down. Right now I don’t want to get dressed."

"I know. It’s fun being naked on your bed. I never sat around naked with somebody before. Did you?"

"Not really," which was pretty much true. He didn’t mention the showers with Parker and Tim.

"Your wiener is all hard," Gordon pointed out.

"I know. Sometimes it does that when I rub it. It’s called a boner. Parker says if you keep rubbing for a long, long time it then it will feel extra good, but I don’t see how.”

"That sounds dumb. Who is Parker?"

Aiden told him a little about Parker and the foster home he was in after his mother died.

"My mom said your mom died. That’s sucks."

"Yeah,"was all Aiden could say.

The boys sat silently. Somehow bare, skinny legs got to touching—Aiden’s right leg against Gordon’s left. At their young age and sexual immaturity, they didn’t see the touching as being sexual; all they knew was that it felt good.

"I got a boner now, too."Gordon pointed proudly to his now erect three-inch rod, which was longer than Aiden’s by almost an inch, a fact that Aiden didn’t miss.

"How come yours is bigger?"Aiden asked.

"Maybe it’s cuz I got my skin on mine."

Aiden shrugged. It was as good of an answer as any.

Again they were silent, enjoying each other’s company and each other’s touch. Aiden had an urge to turn and hug Gordon. He wondered what it would feel like to have all of their naked bodies touch instead of just their legs. Afraid that Gordon would get mad if he did hug him, he resisted the temptation.

Gordon was the one to break the silence. "Do you play soccer?"

"I don’t play any sports," Aiden replied. "I’m no good at them."

"You don’t have to be good to play soccer on a park team. You should ask your uncles to let you sign up. Maybe you can even play on the Bobcats—that’s my team."

"For real, I can play on your team?"Aiden asked with rising excitement.

"I said maybe. All I know is you have until Friday to sign up. But if you sign up tomorrow and get put on my team then you can come to our practice on Thursday. It will be our second practice."

"Thursday is my birthday,"Aiden smiled.

"I thought it was on Saturday."

"That’s when my party is so Uncle Troy can come."Aiden looked directly at Gordon and asked, "I really, for real, don’t have to be good to play?"

"Nope. The kids who are good all play on a travel team."

"Is everybody from Mayfield?”

"No, there are teams from Kentwood and Meadow Park. They’re the closest cities to us. Miles’s gonna play on my team, too."

"I’ll ask my uncles as soon as we go down to eat."

Both boys continued fondling themselves as they talked. It was an automatic reflex for them rather than something with sexual connotations. But Aiden changed that slightly.

"Gordon?”

"I told you that my friends call me Gordy."

Aiden’s smile split his face. "Does that mean I’m your friend?"

"Yep,"Gordon grinned back.

"Cool. So, Gordy, how come I got this head on my weenie, but you got skin instead? Did my head grow because they cut my skin off?"

"You called it a cock," Gordon giggled. "That’s what the big kids at school call it. But, I got a thingie on my wien…um…on my cock, just like you do. Want to see it?"

"Yeah," Aiden said, blushing a little from embarrassment. Gordon pulled back the skin on his erection, exposing his glistening glans. "Can I touch it?"Aiden whispered. "I wanna know if it feels like mine."

"Nobody but me has touched it since I was little."Gordon couldn’t figure out why his heart was pounding so hard. "But you can touch it if I can touch yours."

When Parker, or Tim, or his mom’s boyfriend wanted to touch him Aiden had thought it sounded nasty and dirty. But with Gordon it seemed like it was okay to do—maybe a bit naughty, but not nasty.

Aiden tentatively replaced Gordon’s hand with his index finger and rubbed the head of Gordon’s cock. Gordon did the same to Aiden. The boys giggled and removed their fingers as if they had been singed by a red-hot stick, which was close to the truth.

They resumed fondling themselves, except what had been light fondling had almost turned to serious masturbation. "It felt good when you touched me," Gordon said.

"Me too," Aiden agreed. "And your head felt just like mine, only somehow it felt smoother."

The boys turned silent again and continued fondling themselves. Gordon broke the silence with a new topic. "You don’t got anything on your walls—like no pictures or anything."

Aiden was surprised it took his new friend so long to notice, but he kept his thoughts to himself. "Me and my uncles are going to get posters and stuff on my birthday."

"Cool. I got sports posters—mostly soccer and baseball with some football."

"I don’t know what I’m going to get yet."

"But, I know what you’re getting.”

"What?"Aiden asked eagerly.

"You’re getting knocked off your bed, that’s what.”

And with that, Gordon let go of his cocklet, rolled over and on top of Aiden. The wrestling match was on as the boy bonding moved up another notch. It didn’t take long for the two boys to go crashing to the floor. The naked boys rolled around on the carpet, their boners poking each other, although they hardly noticed it at first.

Larry and Flo heard the thump and felt a slight shaking when the boys hit the floor. "What on Earth is going on up there?"Flo wondered.

"I believe we have some classic pubescent bonding going on in the form of a wrestling match."

"Heaven forbid they’re hitting puberty at nine years old."

"Probably not, but the behavior is instinctive in growing boys."There was another loud thump and Larry said it was time for him to go upstairs and get things under control.

Up in Aiden’s bedroom, Aiden was on top of Gordon, his boner pressed into the smooth, firm ass cheeks of his friend. He pushed down in an action that wasn’t really sexual while at the same time it created some sexual feelings.

Larry could hear giggling and movement through the door as he arrived at Aiden’s bedroom. He opened the door, telling the boys to calm down. He stopped abruptly when he saw his naked foster son on top of Gordon, his pert ass moving side-to-side as he attempted to overturn the boy on the bottom.

Both boys squealed with alarm when they realized Larry had entered the room. Not knowing what to do, Aiden jumped up on his feet, trying unsuccessfully to hide his boner as well as the rest of his equipment. Gordon did the same. Both boys were frightened and on the verge of tears.

"I’m…I’m…sorry," Gordon wailed. "Don’t tell my mom, please don’t tell my mom."

Aiden was crying at the same time. "Are you mad at us? I didn’t mean to be bad, honest."

"Boys, nobody is mad at you. Calm down and sit on the bed."

Larry sat on the chair at Aiden’s desk. The boys sat on the bed, their hands covering their junk. "Grab your underpants and put them on,"Larry instructed. The boys did so quickly. Larry could see they had lost their erections. The two boys were shaking and fighting off tears as they begged for mercy.

"Calm down,"Larry reiterated. "Nobody did anything wrong. There is nothing wrong with what you were doing."

"There isn’t?"Aiden asked through his sniffles. "But we were wrestling naked."

"Did anybody get forced to do it?"

"No," Aiden and Gordon answered together.

"Was it fun?"

The pair nodded, with a slight grin breaking out on Aiden’s face.

"Well, that means it wasn’t wrong."

"Then why did you come up?"Gordon asked.

"Because of all the thumping and noise. I wanted to make sure the house remained intact."

"Does that mean you didn’t want us breaking anything?"Aiden asked.

"Exactly."

"You scared us really bad," Aiden told Larry as if Larry had done something wrong.

As Larry saw it, he was the one who had done something wrong. He had just received a lesson in parenting and needed to make amends to Aiden and Gordon. "I owe you guys an apology," Larry said in a firm voice.

"You do?"Once again the boys chimed in together.

"Yes, I do. This is Aiden’s room, and he deserves his privacy. I should have knocked instead of barging into the room."Aiden looked at his uncle as if he’d just landed in his room from outer space. Nobody had ever made an apology for barging in on him—but then, he’d never had his own space before. "I am now going to make a promise, with Gordon as my witness. I promise that Uncle Phil and I will always knock before entering your room."

Aiden took this in for a moment, and then asked Larry what would happen if he said he and Uncle Phil couldn’t come in.

"We’ll discuss it through the closed door when that happens. But, Uncle Phil and I do want it understood that we have the right to enter your room whether you want it or not. If we do come in against your wishes, it probably means something serious is going on."

"Is me wrestling with a friend something serious?"

"Nope—that could have been solved through a closed door."

"What if me and my friend are, like, naked together. Is that something serious?"Aiden was in one of his bold moods. He was thinking about him and Gordy touching each other’s boners and playing with their cocks on his bed. He didn’t know if that would ever happen again, but he wanted to be on the safe side.

"That is why it is important for you to have your privacy," Larry replied. "When I was a boy, I got naked with my friends in my bedroom sometimes?"

"You did?"Aiden’s eyes were as wide as saucers as he tried to imagine his uncle as a boy, let alone as a boy who got naked with his friends.

"Lots of boys do it. It’s part of growing up," Larry told him matter-of-factly.

"So, you’re not going to tell my mother that me and Aiden were wrestling naked are you?" Gordy asked apprehensively.

"No, I’m not, unless she specifically asks me, which I doubt is going to happen. However, I am going to let both of you know that the two of you dashing in the nude from the basement shower room upstairs to the bedroom was probably not a good idea. You may want to at least be naked privately."

Both of the young boys blushed a deep, full-bodied red. "So you saw us?"Aiden asked.

"Just your rear ends moving up the stairs."

"Was my mom mad?"Gordon asked.

"She was not a happy camper. She said she’d let your father handle it after I told her you were doing what boys do, probably on a dare. I gather your father used to be a boy, too."

"Yeah, but I bet he never ran around the house naked. He’s a principal."

Larry couldn’t help but chuckle at Gordon’s naivety.

"Okay, boys. Get yourselves dressed. Uncle Phil should have the barbecue started by now."

The boys got up off of the bed and gathered up their clothes. Larry couldn’t help but notice how cute the two boys were. While he wasn’t surprised at the slender, athletic build of Gordon, he was amazed at how thin, yet strong looking, Aiden was. Gordon participated in sports, while Aiden never had.

He knew Phil would enjoy looking at the almost nude boys—he had an eye for preteen boys, just like Larry had an eye for teens. Neither one of them had ever said or done anything inappropriate with a boy, nor would they ever do so, but that didn’t stop them from appreciating beauty when they saw it.

Larry left the room as the boys dressed in t-shirts and shorts. He was assuring Flo that the noise was just what he had thought it was, a bonding wrestling match between two boys ready to show the other what he was made of. He didn’t bother to mention that they were wrestling in the nude and that their penises were erect. There simply were things a mother wouldn’t understand. He knew that his own mother was better than most in that regard, and even she often shook her head at his boyish exploits.

Upstairs in Aiden’s room, Aiden and Gordon agreed that things had worked out rather well, all things considered. As they dressed they wondered why their cocks, or wieners or whatever they were called, became boners and why it felt so good to play with them.

"Maybe you should ask your uncles?"Gordon asked.

"I hardly even know them."

"Yeah, but they seen you with a boner."

"You could ask your dad," Aiden suggested.

"Not if I want to live to be ten."

"Yeah, I kinda know what you mean. But, I sure want to find out about it from somebody. Parker told me stuff, but it all sounded nasty."

The boys headed downstairs and by the time they walked out on the deck, their thoughts turned from boners to food as they smelled the freshly grilling hamburgers. Before long their plates were full and they were sitting with Larry, Phil, Flo, and Aaron, Gordon’s father, at the patio table.

Aaron had arrived while the boys were dressing upstairs. Aiden took note of the big hug Gordon had received from his father as soon as they saw each other. It was the kind of hug he wished he could have—he bet that it felt really good to be hugged by a dad.

While they ate, Aiden brought up the big question that Gordon had placed in his mind. "Uncle Phil and Uncle Larry, can I ask a question?"

"Feel free—we’re here to answer your questions." For a moment, Gordon thought that Aiden was going to ask them about boners and was trying to figure how to shut him up.

"Gordy said that I can still sign up for soccer and that if I sign up tomorrow I might get to play on his team and they have practice on my birthday. Can I do it?"

Larry and Phil looked at each other, realizing there had been some serious friend bonding going on between the two boys during the day. "We’ll take you to the park office tomorrow morning and get you signed up," Phil told him. "But you realize that once you play on a team, you’re committed for their entire season. You’ve never played on a team, and I want to make sure you understand that.”

"I know, and I know I don’t know nothing about soccer, but Gordy says that the good players don’t play on park teams so it don’t matter. He says I can learn from the coaches."Larry made a mental note to start Aiden on a program of using good grammar around the house.

Larry looked at Flo and asked her what time Gordon’s practice was on Thursday. "We plan on taking Aiden out for a birthday dinner," he explained.

"It starts at three and lasts an hour,"she told him. "Coach Bill works at the seed storage facility and gets off work at two."

"I hope they put Aiden on the Bobcats. Then him and me and Miles would all be on the same team," Gordon gushed.

"While Aiden is signing up before the deadline, he is also signing up late as far as team placement goes. He’ll be placed on a team that has room and needs more players," Aaron said.

After they finished eating, and the boys helped with the cleanup, the Lansings prepared to leave for home. "Thanks for the barbecue," Aaron told Larry and Phil. "That was unexpected, considering that we have a barbecue here again on Saturday.”

"It was our pleasure," Larry said. He pointed to the two boys who were sitting on the swinging sofa, their heads close together as they chatted conspiratorially. "It looks like the boys hit it off. There was some serious boy bonding going on."

"It makes me happy. Gordon has never had a large cadre of friends."

"And Aiden was completely alone. I’m glad they struck up a friendship so quickly"

The boys saw Larry and Aaron talking and figured the two men were talking about them.

"I wonder what they’d think if they knew we touched each other’s boners," Aiden whispered.

"I dunno, but I’m sure not going to tell them.”

"Would you do it again?"

"I want to do it again,"Gordon grinned.

"Me, too. We need a code word for when we got a boner so we can tell each other."

"How about saying, ‘I’m nailed,’ cuz boners are straight and hard like a nail."

Aiden grinned and nodded. The two boys bumped fists as Gordon’s parents told him to get off the sofa since they were leaving.

The boys had indeed engaged in a great deal of boy bonding. Not only that, but they had crept into the edge of encroaching puberty as they took a keen interest in each other’s penises. They were still innocent boys, unaware of the joys of sex, but a wee bit of that innocence left them as they’d touched the tips of each other’s boner. They were young preteens who had taken a baby step into the world of boy to boy sexual experimentation. Life had a lot of exploration to be undertaken.

That night, Aiden got a second lesson in dental care from Larry. Larry was pleased to note that Aiden used the brushing techniques he’d been shown his first night. Larry told him he would be brushing at least twice a day, something he suspected wasn’t happening. He also showed him the proper use of dental floss, which would be done after his night-time brushing.

Aiden was tired after his long day and waited impatiently for Larry to end his lesson. "What if I’m too tired and don’t feel like brushing?"Aiden asked in a whiney voice. He was wearing nothing but his usual pair of white briefs.

"Then you will brush and floss anyway. It’s important for your good health."

"What if I don’t care about my health?"

"Well, son, you are going to learn that life in this house isn’t about ‘what ifs’, it’s about what you accomplish. If you can’t accomplish that on your own, then you’ll have to deal with me or your Uncle Phil standing behind you while you take care of your fangs."

"Fangs? I don’t got fangs. Snakes got fangs."

"You won’t have them for sure by the time you’re my age if you don’t take proper care of them every day. Besides, aren’t you part snake? I thought I saw you and your snake friend slithering on the floor this afternoon."

Aiden turned bright red at the memory of being caught naked on top of Gordon. "I was wrestling," he said defensively.

Larry ruffled the boy’s tangled blond hair. "I’ve got to get you scheduled for a haircut on Friday."

"Yuck.”

"And I’ll also be scheduling you for a dentist appointment."

"Double yuck and triple yuck and quadruple yuck."

"You certainly know your math."

"I know lots of stuff."Aiden’s pouty face broke out into a reluctant grin.

Larry followed Aiden into his bedroom and watched as the boy snuggled under the covers. Aiden wanted to sleep naked, because he’d heard that big boys slept naked, and now that he had his own room he could do it, too. But he wasn’t going to take his underpants off in front of his uncle. He remembered what Parker and Luke said about his gay uncles. It was bad enough that his Uncle Larry had seen him naked with Gordon. He wasn’t about to get naked and give his uncle an excuse to rape him.

"Want me to read a bit to you?"

"No."

"Can I give you a goodnight hug?"

"No."

"Well, goodnight then."

"Is Uncle Phil coming in to say goodnight?”

"Usually it will be one of us a night. He can come in if you want him to."

"I don’t want anybody telling me goodnight."Aiden didn’t want either uncle in his bedroom if he could help it.

"Goodnight," Larry said anyway.

Aiden was asleep before Larry finished shutting the door.
