Valentine's Day begins with lots of surprises
As he rocketed down Capitol Highway a good fifteen or so miles per hour over the speed limit late at night; coming back from one of the long distance deliveries to the boonies he normally hated; Josh thought of how the weeks with Kyle between New Years and the hours before Valentine's Day had screamed by. It now seemed as if it had been almost as fast as Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr. burning up the last seconds from coming out of turn four to crossing the finish line side-by-side after a 500 mile battle of left turns at Daytona.
Josh laughed out loud to himself of how the deep south was so inbred in him by even attempting to join NASCAR and his Yankee lover in a metaphor. Kyle wasn't much for watching racing on TV, but he would cuddle with Josh and put up with it...much the same as hockey didn't really turn Josh on, but he would lay curled up on the couch with him to watch a game because his boyfriend loved it. That little difference between them was just another one of the many things they kept learning about the other...and learned about concessions...the longer their maturing relationship went on. Josh cautiously backed off the accelerator some as he permitted his mind to start up the replay tapes of so many things that had happened since the clock struck midnight, six weeks earlier.

Even though they had spent most of New Year's Day in bed interspersing cuddling while watching parades and football games with serious talks, foreplay, edging, and lovemaking. They of course made the occasional run to the kitchen for cokes and munchies. By the time they had shared at least a half dozen orgasms over the day and evening and were ready for much needed sleep, the bedroom was littered with empty chip bags, soda cans, plates with sandwich scraps, and the wrappers from the final dozen or so Reese cups Kyle called his 'emergency supply' and kept in his night stand drawer.
Josh's brain also reminded his nostrils of the musky smell of male-male sex mixed with the scented candle aroma as they drifted off to dreamland, spooned together. It was during one of their breaks from the games on TV (and their own in bed), that they talked at length about how the new bond they had committed to, wasn't always going to be red rose petals on a white bed spread or the afterglow from great sex. They were; after all; two different people...even if they had become one just a few hours earlier.
Kyle seemed to be fixated on only two things: how much the pressures of school for both and the additional restraints of his eventual residency would test them; and that he was concerned at how easily Josh could be tempted thanks to his younger age and since Kyle was his first serious relationship.
"Do you really think that I don't understand the feelings I have for you?" was the befuddled question Josh tossed back immediately to the latter worry. "I know that it won't always be easy, but I know that I love you. Most importantly, I know that what I feel in my head and heart, isn't about being with the sexiest, good looking man I have ever met." He had paused to let those words sink in before adding, "I do love your skin babe, but I didn't fall in love with IT." He went on to dismiss the former trepidation by joking how he was more worried that Kyle would unceremoniously dump his butt for another prettier and younger pizza boy once Josh had worked and slaved and sacrificed to get him through med school and residency. "That's how all you cute as hell, stud doctors do it, isn't it?" was the line that broke Kyle up. But it also made him realize that Josh indeed was taking their devotion and the pitfalls that came with it, seriously.
Josh confessed that his biggest apprehensions centered pretty much on only two things also. The first being the vastly different social status and backgrounds they came from. Could the barefoot farm boy with cheeks of tan provide what the gifted and well-to-do, big city jock was used to: only the finest and shiniest? The other was, would Kyle still be able to love him in thirty years when he had a spare tire and his blond hair was beginning to thin and fade to gray?
Kyle had laughed out loud at the second one before he exclaimed, "Don't worry about that baby, because if I didn't inherit my mom's hair genes, you will have to be loving me with NO hair since dad was almost bald by the time he turned forty." He then pulled Josh to his chest and stared straight in his eyes as he softly spoke to quell the first anxiety. "My sweet little farm boy...I couldn't love you more if you were a rich prince with his own island, yacht, and a fleet of private jets." He then totally surprised Josh by letting it slip of how he had already thought of 'their' future by saying, "In fact, I would rather be sharing an old farm house in the country with you and a couple dogs and cats, than trying to keep up some plastic, pseudo-successful, big city image in a house like this one." Kyle then smirked and finalized his explanation with, "Now I will admit that when it comes to cars, that I am an egotistical prick and will always want a really nice one...but figure so long as I'm parking my Benz next to your Porsche...you will overlook it."
The exaggerated grin on Kyle's face and clown-like multiple winks made Josh split a gut. As they continued to laugh, they began to wrestle with each other on the bed until Josh pushed his hand down to the hardening flesh between his lover's legs and as slutty as he could make himself sound, asked, "So if I keep sucking your cock like you like it, you will buy me a Porsche?" He squeezed it firmly, in a teasing attempt to seal the deal.
Kyle's own hand found the new stiffy laying across Josh's pubic fuzz and slid his thumb back and forth in the pre leaking from the tip. His voice went strangely sultry. "Baby, you keep blowing me like you did an hour ago, and I will find a way to buy you the Hope diamond!"
