Separated

The ride home was a little awkward, but I'm sure it was only in my head. I was surprised of what I let tumble out of my mouth earlier, but it wasn't a lie. And touching Hale felt so nice. Anyway back to the car ride. We both sat in the back seat, which is unusual, and held hands. But he had to let go every, like, five minutes because mom would look in the mirror.

"So how did you entertain yourself in the closet for that long?" She asked. I gulped and looked to Hale for help.

"We just talked." He shrugged easily. "His favorite color is blue, and sometimes purple. He loves lasagna with a burning passion. And he can't sleep alone, because he used to have a dog when he was with his other parents and the dog would sleep with him. So I am his new dog." I stared wide eyed and opened mouth at him. How did he know all that.

"Raine is that true?" She asked doubtfully.

"Actually it is." I nodded.

"What was the dogs name?" She raised an eyebrow in the mirror.

"Milky-way." We said at the same time. "He was a Yorkie." We spoke in unison again.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought... Never mind." She shook her head as if to clear it. I pulled out my phone and started texting Hale, I couldn't ask him these questions with his mom in the car.

How did you know that? I asked.

You talk in your sleep. He sent back and looked over and smiled at me and the conversation was over.

"Anything else?" Mom pried again. "That seems like a short conversation."

"He still misses his parents, I know because he told me in the closet and he wakes up crying sometimes. Well, once, but still."

"Raine did you learn anything about Hale." I gulped. I hadn't learned anything about Hale, except that he likes me that same way I like him. My phone vibrated in my hand and I jumped a little.

My favorite color is dark blue or turquoise, I had a dog when I was really little, his name was Rascal, he was a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, but he died of a serious infection when I was 9, my dad died when I was 6, and if I had the choice I would only ever eat lasagna, beef stew, and breakfast pizza. I smiled thankfully at him and repeated the entire text. His mom nodded and finally believed us. So she didn't look in the back the rest of the ride home so I got to hold Hale's hand for that long. I don't know what I did to deserve such and amazing brother.

As soon as we got back to the house we both headed up to Hale's room and started our home work. I did he science and math homework and Hale did the English and social studies homework. It was so much easier doing it this way, because I loved science and math, but hated English and history and Hale loved English and History and hated Science and Math. It's amazing how it worked out. When we were done we snuggled on his bed. If his mom walked in, it would just look normal, because I'm a snuggling person; it's an issue.

"Hale." I spoke up randomly whilst playing with his fingers. "Can we shower together from now on?" I felt him tense up, and it took him a minute to speak

"I guess, but you won't get distracted by my amazingly sexy body will you?" He teased.

"Hmm." I thought for a minute. "No promises." I smiled at him.

"Then let's start showering at night, so we have time to be distracted." He growled sexily at me.

"Yes, sir." I saluted him.

"Boys!" His mom called. "Dinner! It's lasagna!" She added at the last minute. Hale and I looked at each other. All of a sudden I hurtled over him and did an expert tumble, that then transgressed into a full speed sprint.

I got to the table first and sat down. Hale took a seat next to me, and was severely out of breath.

"Where did you learn to do that?" He panted.

"I took gymnastics from age 3-13, I gave it up when people started teasing me for it and I really didn't want to do it anymore." I shrugged.

"Wait, you were the Raine Holloway?!" He gasped.

"Yeah," I said nonchalantly and took a big heaping pile of sauce covered lasagna. "Why?"

"Everyone here looked up to you, bro!" He exclaimed. "You almost made it into the Olympics, right?"

"Yep, but I landed on my ankle wrong and had to stay off it for 4 weeks. Then had to gracefully decline the invitation." I started shoveling heaping forkfuls of lasagna into my mouth. This was a part in life I'd really not like to dwell on, if people figured out who I was they would either hate me or love me and annoy the crap out of me forever.

"Would you teach me some?" Hale asked, seriously. I wonder why his mom had taken no part of the discussion.

"Sure but you need a..." I trailed off. "You have a gymnasium somewhere in this house don't you?" I asked sarcastically. Mom chuckled.

"Not quite." She said. "But Hale saw one of those foam pits once, and really wanted one, so we built one of those and put some pads and balance beams in too." After we finished eating Hale led me to the room.

"This is bigger than the gymnasium I trained it!" I yelled. "You're such a liar."

"Sorry," He apologized quickly and moved on. "Now teach me! Teach me!" I was pretty sure that now nighttime showering was not an option.

"Fine." First I taught him a cartwheel, which he couldn't do, so I needed to teach him a handstand.

"Now, I'll support your legs, and catch you if you fall, just try to stay balanced." He nodded and but his feet up at my face level. I grabbed his ankles and began straightening him. I smacked his put and he jumped.

"What was that for?" He glared at me.

"Your butt is sticking out to far!" I explained myself. I was in teacher mode, there was no love or BS here.

We trained for an hour and a half, Hale only learned a tumble and a hand stand. Then he started whining about how I was a hard ass and he didn't want to do this anymore.

"Fine." I let us stop practicing, then I snapped out of 'teacher mode'. "Is it shower time?"

"Why yes it is." Hale said as he walked up behind me, put his head on my shoulder and arms around my waist. Then he started placing little kisses on the back of my neck. I was put into a trance; when he touched me it felt to good, I felt my eyes drift closed. Suddenly all touching ceased, then it resumed as he grabbed my hand and pulled me up to his room, where his door and we moved to the bathroom. Where he also locked the door.

"Don't want mommy dearest barging in on us." He said and smiled at me. Then he just started stripping. I swallowed nervously and stood there. I also looked down at my feet and I felt a blush creeping into my cheeks. I heard the water turn on.

"Do you want me to get in first?" He asked, I nodded. I heard the shower door open and close and I stripped slowly. But only because my hands where shaking so bad I could barely unbutton my flannel shirt. Once I was completely naked I took a deep breath and walked into the shower. I kept my back to him because I was still amazingly nervous, and I was quivering. I don't even know why!

"It's okay." I heard Hale say quietly. Then I felt his hands on my shoulders. He started rubbing my back and saying that everything would be fine. I relaxed almost instantly. I turned around to face him and smiled. Then I pulled him into a big bear hug; 'cause I'm just like that. He chuckled.

"Do you actually want to get clean, now?" He asked I nodded. He turned around to get the shampoo and I couldn't help but stare at his perfectly round ass. It was amazing. When he turned around I looked up immediately so he didn't know I was staring.

"Like what you see?" He joked.

"Um..." I blushed. "Yeah." He laughed again then started massaging shampoo into my hair. I let my eyes drift close. He was so good at everything. What did I do to be so lucky?

"Rinse." He commanded. I moved closer to the beam of water and let the shampoo come out of my hair. Then I put shampoo on his head. I'm sure I wasn't anywhere near as good as he was but he seemed to enjoy it. Then it was time for soap. So basically we got to run our hands up and down each others' body. I got to touch everything. Once I washed the soap off my hands; I couldn't help but roughly grab his member. He growled at me; it was extremely sexy.

Suddenly his lips were attached to mine in a fiery kiss. I tried to keep my hands resting on his shoulders but it was so hard! We were all soapy I was surprised we were still standing. Until we fell, I totally jinx us. Hale landed on top of me. I giggled a little, while he chuckled.

We tried to stand up for a good five minutes but with so much soap on our bodies we couldn't accomplish anything. I slowly crawled to the stream of water and washed all the soap off my body. He did the same. Then he tackled me and pressed his lips to mine feverishly. My lips parted automatically and his tongue got into my mouth. He moved his hips downward so our hardening members would grind together. I moaned into the kiss.

"All the way?" He asked suddenly.

"What?" I panted. I was so confused it wasn't even funny. He just shook his head then moved downward and started sucking me off. I thrusted my hips up into his mouth and moaned loudly. My hands started grabbing and clutching at the air, I had nothing to grab on to so I tangled my hands in his hair.

"Hale!" I shouted as he swept his tongue along my slit. He chuckled and the vibrations on my member made me let out a loud moan. I saw him start to pump himself. But by now I didn't even care.

"I-I'm close!" I yelled at him. He passed his tongue over my slit again and I was done; shooting my seed into his mouth.

"Hale!" I shouted. He came second later and we rode out our orgasms together. Then we got out of the shower and dried off. I hugged him and pressed another kiss to his lips. Because after this I would have to hide the feelings I had for him. And that's not fun. I grabbed his hand and we opened the door. I froze.

"Hi, boys." His mom smiled at his and then held up a key. "You didn't really think you could keep me out did you?"
