"It Has Always Been You" - Chapter 40 - Happy New Year (Nifty/Gay/Highschool)
The vivid evocation of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays were still fresh on their minds. It's worth remembering, especially, because of being special and pleasing in general, and they would, never, forget. The year end was near, and they had decided to welcome the New Year together, but this time it will be in the Cornelly's house. Nick had somehow, returned back to stay, at his parents' home. He had let go the apartment that he was renting, as requested by his father, who wanted Nick be living closer to him.
The Hayden's, had been, at the Cornelly's house on the eve the New Year, and they would be spending their time together, throughout the holiday. Hayden and Cornelly had decided to make breakfast for everyone in the morning. An English breakfast, consisting of egg benedict's, scones, bangers and mashed, coupled with English mint tea, orange juices and milk. They were having a good time, while eating breakfast, communicating, laughing and bantering with each other. The fathers, were, seated, at the opposite the boys, close enough that their shoulders and thighs were touching each other. It was their way of showing their love for one another.
The boys had no idea what's going on, on the, father's side, of the table, as they were busy recognizing the importance of, each, other presence in each other life. Nick was giving Mikael lots of, attention and affection, with him, holding on, Mikael's hands and steals a kiss or two at Mikael's cheeks and mouth, when the fathers weren't watching. Even, with, this much on, public display of, affection, in front, of the fathers, Nick was still, not, being brave enough to tell his father, on his sexuality and the love he had felt towards Mikael. As for the time being he wanted it to remain the way it is and he knew he still has Amy to handle.
As they had finished with breakfast and clearing up the plates to the dishwasher, Nick and Mikael skedaddled to the living room couch. Instantaneously, Nick ameliorated the living room by intensify of the heat present in the air. It was getting bloody cold as it was snowing, heavily, outside. Then, Nick took a big woolly blanket from the cabinets for Mikael and him to share. They sat closely, with each other, under the blanket while watching a movie "McFarland USA" on Netflix. The blanket covered their body fully, obscuring them from other people view. While, they cuddled each other with their hand, intertwining, their bodies, were, transmitting warmth to one another and comforting each other corporeal.
The father's on the other hand was having the time of their life as they espoused the causes of sexual and the love, equality each other resents. Nonetheless, they would touch, intertwining hands and looking at each other lovingly, as they do small talk and sweet laughter echoed in the kitchen. Cooperatively, while they were in the kitchen, they prepared the ingredients to cook for lunch. It's a combination of Seafood Fried Rice, Shrimps Rangoon's and Thai mango salad. They worked, well, side by side with the infrequent touches and glances with each other.
As they were waiting for the rice to cook, they went off to join the boys, in the living room. What they saw, on the living room couch, were, the boys in repose and their face looked relaxed. Nick and Mikael were cuddling each other body under the blanket, gently, snorting or grunting sounds while asleep with the television still running the movies.
"Aren't they looking so adorable holding close in one's arms?" Cornelly made a remark of the situation, between, Nick and Mikael was in.
"I wish it was us under the blanket though." Hayden commented, while, expressing with a broad smile, at Cornelly.
Both men took a seat each at the remaining two single sofas, face to face with each other, as they began to watch the ongoing movie played on the television. Occasionally, they would be looking, with love and great care, at each other. They were, tempted, to sit together on a single sofa and to cuddle with each other. But they thought it would, not, be appropriate at that moment in time.
As the time passed by, they began to feel in need of sleep and were, yawning. Notwithstanding, with the earnest and persistent to persuade one another to retreat to Cornelly's bedroom, they've decided to take a nap on the sofa, instead. They thought it would, not, be an appropriate time for it to happen. Within the next few minutes, they were, also, snoring comparatively loud, while, nestling their body to the sofa.
It was 11.45am, the boys was waking up from their short nap, stretching and straightening their clothing and was, surprised, to see their father sleeping on the sofa. Quickly, they went to the cupboard and took two blankets to cover their father. They've decided, not, to wake them up and went to the kitchen for a drink. As they entered the kitchen area and upon seeing the ingredient on the counter top, they immediately knew what the father had intended to cook for lunch. Together, they launched into action and began to cook. Within, one hour, everything prepared. After they had set up, the table, with all the food that they had cooked together, they went to the living room to wake up, their fathers.
They stand, right, in the middle of the living room and in unison they shouted. "FATHER WAKE UP!" The fathers were, very, surprised with strong cries of them both, as they scampered on their sleeping situation and were, completely, baffled to see their sons chortling.
"Damn you boys. You nearly give both of us a heart attack." Hayden was, tightly, grasping his chest. Instead of sympathizing with him, Nick and Mikael, were, laughing harder and did, not, noticed that Cornelly, had, silently, been approaching them. He gave them a surprised headlock and tightly, holding them. Nick and Mikael tried to release themselves from the grip, but, it was, too, strong for them. Hayden had, joined the action and starts to tickle both boys until they were teary from laughter and were, shouting sorry, at the top of their lungs and asking for forgiveness. They, only, stop when they saw the boys were, breathing in short, quick breaths; and seemed, to, be, out, of breath. It was the fathers turned to laugh at the boys predicaments.
When Nick and Mikael felt the released, from Cornelly tight gripped, they immediately fall their bodies, heavily, and limply, on the sofa and breathe deeply, sucking on the oxygen, surrounding, them. They saw that the fathers were laughing at them and was making their way to the kitchen. Hayden and Cornelly had, abruptly, stopped in their tracks, when, they saw the prepared dishes on the table. Immediately, they turned, around, to face their sons, who's standing, behind, them and gave each, of the boys a man, loving hugs and mouth the word thank you.
The food looked good and taste delicious stimulating one's appetite and they're enjoying eating it. Together, they had cleaned, out, the bowls of seafood fried rice, the plates of Shrimps Rangoon's and the mango salad. All the same time, they shared conversation, and being joyful, like the time they had during the other two holiday's, when they were spending time together.
The remaining part of the day, there're watching movies, playing board games or, just, talking with each other. All four of them had somehow bonded, strongly, as one unit, during the cause of the holidays. The Cornelly's, been, not, in a slight moment; miss the missus at any time. It was as though, Emily and Amy, not, even, existed in their life. Nick was happy that he could be with Mikael throughout the long perfect winter holiday and Cornelly was, delighted, that Hayden and he had gotten stronger in there, perpetually, secret relationship. Cornelly and Nick, dreaded the day when Amy and Emily comes back from their holiday.
On, the other part, of the world, Emily and Amy were having the time of their life, soaking in the sun, sand and sea. Enthusiastically, they were soaking the warmth of the tropical island of Singapore. While, immersing themselves with the cultures, the cosmopolitan life and were, mesmerized with the beauty of that small nation. Eventually, they did, lot of, shopping, sightseeing and even, went for a trip to "Universal Studio Singapore". They simply, fall in love the eclectic ethnic cuisine from the Malays, Chinese, Indians and the Eurasians.
They themselves had bonded strongly, with Amy taking the opportunity, to being, closer to Emily, her future mother in law. They had occasionally taken time away, from Emily friends and be by themselves and talked, about, her and Nick life future and concerned. Emily had somehow assured Amy, not, to worry, about, Nick at all, as she had, already, planned for his future. When asked what it is, Emily explained lengthily to Amy and makes her to smile. Amy had liken and agreed to the idea and cannot wait to get back to the USA.
It was, already, 11.30 at night. Together, the guys proceeded to the town square. This year, the town council, had managed to get sponsorship for fireworks display, to welcome the New Year. The vicinity, around, the town square area was, flooded, with sound, lights and smell of cooked food, which came from the rows of food trucks stationed at the car park. Everybody there, was, surprised, to see bond fires being light up at few area of the square and families, couples, were, seen spreading their blanket, around, the bond fire for warmth.
At one end of the square, there, was, a stage set up with DJ seen spinning dance music. The entire youngster, were, seen, dancing the night, away, in their winter woolly clothes. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was celebratory chaos with all the town people came together, to mingle and enjoying the festive environment as dedicated communities.
The guys went to an open empty space and unrolled their blankets on the ground. Mikael and Nick sat together with their fathers sat, closely, nearby, on another blanket. Both partners huddled together with a big woollen blanket covering their bodies to keep them warmed, as they did, not, managed to get, seated near the bond fire. While waiting for the New Year countdown, they chatted with each other while sitting, closely, with their partners. Five minutes to midnight, the DJ had stopped the music and the mayor, was, given, the honoured to lead the countdown with everyone at the town square.
"Five, four, three, two, one... HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone utter a loud cry of, excitement, as the first firework shoots at the night sky with, brilliancy, accompanied by music, spun by the DJ. Everyone was looking up, high into the sky, at the, fireworks, and was, mesmerized, by the, brightness, of different colours, as it beautifully and colourfully, displayed. But without anyone noticing four bodies slide closer together and whispered "I love you" to each other partner.
The night had been magical and precious for them to indulge in enjoyable recollection of past events. The year had brought lots of changes in their life. This was, exceptionally, for, Nick and Mikael with, them, going through, the ups and down together. They knew that, there's, more, needed done and they had promised to do it together. Nick was, exceptionally, delighted, to proclaim that he's gay and for, once, felt delighted to be with the guy he loves. He expresses a concession and recognition that he had fallen head over heel, with, Mikael and will do anything to preserve it for life.
The fathers, too, were undoubtedly, joyful to find love and comfort with each other. As they knew it would, not, be a walk in a park, but they were brazen enough to make a solemn promise of devotion to one another and, only, time could tell, what was their future will be like. They found each other by chance and circumstances. Without, the feeling, of uncertainty, or lack of conviction they were, going, to take it every step of the way hand in hand.
So, please GOD. Help them to find the love and peace. Give them guidance in their journey to a blissful life...Amen!
