The divorce was finalized after six months of fighting, a lot of threats, and a lot of crying. Greg hoped everything was over. He hoped he'd never have to see or deal with his ex-wife again. He sighed as he walked out of the court house. He could still hear her crying as he left. She got what she deserved. He felt better. He needed to text Ethan and let him know that they were going to be the only men in the house from now on.
He took out his phone and texted his son to let him know the divorce was now finalized. He hadn't even put his phone in his pocket when it vibrated again. Ethan couldn't wait to hear the details.
Ethan Andrews was sitting in his office writing reports on his computer. His phone had vibrated on his desk telling him what he wanted to hear. His father had finally left his mom, and they were going to be the only men in the house. He was smiling from ear to ear.
Very few people are born on this earth that can say without hesitation, that they do not love their mother. Ethan was one of them. He hated everything she stood for, and who she was. She had always treated him like dirt, and it was obvious from the moment Ethan understood marriage, that his mom's marriage to his father was a sham. They always fought, they slept in separate rooms, they didn't do things that couples did. Ethan often tried to get his father to divorce his mother, and it didn't work. He had been two lazy. He hadn't wanted to give her anything. He hated the thought of paying her every single month for the rest of his life if she tried to get payments. Now that Ethan was eighteen, he was able to decide for himself who he wanted to stay with. Turned out his mother didn't want him, anyway. She hated how he had turned out, and often wondered out loud where she went wrong.
Ethan found out he was gay when he was twelve. He had the first erotic dream, and it involved two teen boys. Not a boy and a girl. He often tried to condition himself to look at pictures of naked girls and get hard, but to no avail. He was gay, and he had to face it. He came out to his mom and dad when he was seventeen, and his mom nearly died. Ethan remembers how after she left to throw her tantrum somewhere else, he joked that that had almost killed her.
"I'm proud of you." His father said as he hugged him. "I'm glad you're standing for what you believe in." he said as he let go of his son.
"Glad to know one of you still loves me." Ethan said smirking at his father.
When Ethan came out to his mother, she immediately sought to get a divorce. She wanted to take Ethan with her, but the proceedings for the divorce lasted longer than planned. Six months later, Ethan turned eighteen, and six months later, the papers were signed. It was too late, though, because he got to decide who to stay with. He would've stayed with his dad no matter what, but during that year, things happened to sway him even more towards his father.
Ethan had walked in on his dad one day. He was sitting in the den watching television, and hadn't noticed Ethan come home. In what was a classic scene from a Literotica story, Ethan watched from the door as his father sat there watching a very x rated film. It was two men on screen, and they were having sex. Ethan saw the men kissing, and rubbing their junk together. He smiled at his father's choice of porn. He was about to go away and leave the man to his private session, when he heard it.
"Suck my balls, daddy!" moaned one of the men. "I want you to suck my balls!"
"Yeah? You like it when your dad sucks you off, baby?" asked the other man as he fixed his positioning.
Now the boy was facing his father's feet, and the pair were into a sixty-nine. Ethan walked away before he was caught. He could not believe what he just saw. Two days earlier and it would've been a great present. He just made his way to his room, and stayed there until dinner. He was too shocked to do anything else.
Ethan had never really thought about himself sexually. He knew he liked men, and he knew he wanted to find someone to be with for the rest of his life. But he didn't really give it much thought. He wanted to wait until he got out of college before he started settling down with anyone. Or for that matter, even trying to date. He wanted to focus on his studies. He knew dating would cut into that. He was happy not dating. For him, it was a waste of time, and emotions. He wanted to wait for just the right time. In the meantime, porn videos, stories, and his hand were enough to make him happy. But this, this was different.
After this incident, Ethan saw his father in a whole new way. He always wondered if Greg knew his son had seen him that day. It didn't seem so, but Ethan wanted to make sure. After that moment, things were never the same.
Ethan went to school like always. He took the bus to school, he came on the bus from school. He wasn't one to take a ride from his mom or from his dad. He just didn't want to bother either of them. Especially when his mom was so..., rude to everyone.
One day, just two weeks after Ethan had made his discovery, his mom came up to him. He was sitting at the dining room table, trying to do his homework. He never did it in his room, because that was the place he watched TV, and slept. He didn't want to condition himself to slack off while doing his homework.
"I am going to visit your grandmother. You want to come?" she asked bitterly.
"No. I have a lot of school work to do." He said as he showed her what he was doing. "This is my science report. Due on Monday."
"Fine. I'll just tell your grandma that you were busy." She said as she turned to leave.
"What? No guilt trip?" Ethan asked watching her leave.
"Shut up, or I'll drag you with me." She said angrily as she left.
Ethan stared. He swore he heard tears in her voice. He stood up and walked over to the hall, where he could see her standing in the middle of the living room. She was talking to his father.
"I can't believe this. It looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." She said angrily.
"What are you mad about, Kristy?" he asked bitterly. "You are a couple months away from divorcing me!"
"This means that our marriage was a lie!" she sobbed as she started to tremble.
"Yes! It was a lie that helped give me a wonderful son! Why can't you just accept that?" he asked bitterly.
"Is it because I don't do enough for you?" she asked as she walked towards him.
"No. It isn't. Even if you hadn't had a bunch of affairs throughout the years, I'd still be gay." He said bitterly. "I just figure it's time to come out of the closet." He muttered as Kristy stood there, trembling.
"I'm leaving to my mother's house. I can't stay here with you tonight." She sighed.
"Cool." Greg said as he turned the TV back on.
"You better not be doing anything to Ethan." She whispered softly. "Or I will make sure you have your day in court." She threatened bitterly.
Ethan turned and bolted back to the dining room as she turned to leave. She was out the door in seconds. Ethan could hear her sobbing as she closed the door behind herself. He waited for the television to stop, and got up. He went through the hall, and into the living room. He stared at his dad, who was red in the face.
"What happened to mom?" he asked confused. "I told her I didn't want to go to grandma's house, and she didn't even guilt trip me about how I was passing up an opportunity to be with a great family member." He explained as he sat in an arm chair across from his father.
"Ethan, your mom found some..., things of mine in the den, that I accidentally left out." He said bitterly. "She's very upset, and I think she's going to go cool off." He added as he stood up and started pacing.
"Did she find the gay incest videos?" Ethan asked smirking at his dad.
"What?" he gasped as he looked over at his son.
"I saw you watching one one day two weeks ago when I came home from school or something." Ethan said smiling. "Is that what she found?" he asked curious.
"No. Don't you ever announce your presence?" his dad asked as his face went a different shade of red.
"So, what did the old lady find?" he asked as he followed his father to the kitchen.
"She found a stack of magazines." His dad said bitterly. "Luckily none of them featured..., you know. Incest." He said as he hid his face.
"Well, good. This means she'll leave you faster." Ethan said smirking at him.
"I've been thinking... Maybe you should go live with her and your grandma." His dad said bitterly.
"Oh, come on!" Ethan moaned. "I have almost graduated! You want to move me in the middle of such a crucial semester?" he asked as his dad pored himself a glass of wine.
"I guess not." Greg said bitterly. "I just..., this is so weird. You know, now it's not a secret, and your mom knows. You're gay, I'm gay. People might start to think something's up." He said bitterly.
"You're my dad. Nothing's up." Ethan said as he grabbed a juice box and opened it. He took a long sip. "You would never do that to your own son." Ethan said smiling at his father. "So drop that shit about me moving away with mom. Living in Portland is better than living in Ontario." Ethan said as he left.
"Where are you going?" his dad asked sadly.
"I'm going into the dining room to finish my report." Ethan said as he looked down at the tent in his jeans. It had nothing to do with his report. "It's due soon." He said as he made his way to the chair and sat down.
That June, he graduated with no problems. His dad was there, and his mom was somewhere in the back row. She refused to sit with Greg. It didn't bother him, either. He was at his son's graduation, and he was having the best time. Ethan and his dad both hugged as the crowd started to disperse.
"I'm glad you graduated, son." Said his dad as they let go. "Congratulations." He said as he looked at him. He was all dressed up and had on his cap and gown. "College next, huh?" he asked smiling.
"Yeah." Ethan said as they started walking. "Mom gonna meet us at home?" he asked as they both walked off towards the car.
"Yep." Greg said as they both got into the car and left as soon as possible.
"Thanks for being there, dad." Ethan said smiling as they drove off.
