sweet like candy

“… Okay, you have a point there… Is not like dad would really care, though, as long as it gets done” Jayce said after taking a few sips of his diet coke. “I guess I thought… that since they know how much I look up to you and how responsible you are… Look, it made sense a few minutes ago, okay? While I was panicking” he added with a sad chuckle and shaking his head. He was definitely going to need a drink the second this surreal situation was done. Jayce needed alcohol to process this. Especially when Jethro revealed how long have he been doing this. “Five years?! Jet! I… I don’t think anyone had any idea at home…” he said, surprised. So, his big brother had been having summers filled with men and sex for five years now… why did that idea turned him on so much? “Is that why your pants are so tight? Because… I’m not going to excuse my actions but you seemed like you wanted… attention” he added with a teasing chuckle. Then, after the other’s remark, he couldn’t help but blurt out. “What do you mean busy? Is not that hard settle… oh… I see…” he added, a smirk starting to appear on his face. Yeah, maybe his insatiable lust was part of his genes. “Alright, I will. Don’t you worry. But really, I won’t get into trouble… not that many, at least” he said with a chuckle. Oh, if only Jethro knew what kind of trouble he had gotten into the few days he had been at the camp, or since he had gotten out of home. “Alright… just asking… maybe you had a secret boyfriend too and I’d like all these kind of news to be delivered now” he said with a chuckle before going to give Jethro a hug. “Is… is it weird that I’m so happy that you are here too? Now that I know you are not going to take me away?”

“ i don’t ever want to find out. “ jet sighed out as his brother sipped his coke. he did not want to even imagine what his father would actually do or react to either of them coming out let alone being in a place like this. “ it’s ok, i get it now. we all freak out sometimes and this is kind of a weird situation. “ he shrugged, trying so hard to not think about how weird this truly was. he could tell his confession about his reoccurring visitations was a something extremely surprising for his little brother by the way he reacted. he was twenty-four and a bit more experienced, at least he assumed so because of their age gap. “ yeah, i’d like to keep it that way. “ jethro pointed a finger as jayce even though he knew he definitely wasn’t going to blurt this out at family dinner when he went back home. “ jayce.. “ he shook his head as his little brother asked if he was looking for attention dressing the way he was. “ i’m not going to lie to you, i do like attention but i don’t only wear these clothes to get it. these just happen to fit me good and make me look good. “ he chuckled as he shook his head again, what was that question? “ not that many? how many people have you slept with since you’ve been here? “ jethro furrowed his brows as his brother insinuated multiple sex partners already, it made him feel uncomfortable mostly because he still had that brotherly instinct to protect him, shield him as if he was still that little kid following him around. “ no boyfriend, not for a long time but i promise to tell you if that changes, ok? “ he replied before opening his arms wide as jayce went in for a hug, giving him a lil squeeze. “ what do you mean ? “ 

Jackson smiled as he tossed the beer to his new friend, popping the top of his own as he sat down next to the other and touched his can to the other’s can, putting it to his lips and taking a sip. “Damn, this is fucking awesome ya know. Just hanging out outdoor, good friends, and good beer.” said Jackson looking at the other. 

jethro offered the other man a smile as they clinked cans. “ cheers. “ he stated before popped the top of his own beer and taking a large sip. he wasn’t the hugest beer drinker but there were occasions like this that he made exceptions for. “ you are right, i definitely can’t complain at all. “ he chuckled out as he scanned the nature around them. he wasn’t particularly outdoorsy but he could appreciate nature for it’s beauty. 

Jayce had another hiccup from his crying, so he decided to order something. Since he didn’t want Jethro to also freak out about him drinking alcohol, he settled for a diet coke. “R… really? So… so… it’s not that… mom and dad know and they sent you to pick me up?” he asked after gulping a couple of swigs from his drink. He accepted the napkin with a soft smile and a thank you and cleaned his face as best as he could. It reminded him to when they played around as kids and whenever he fell or got hurt, it was Jet the one picking him up and making sure he was okay. “W… what?” he asked, the napkin falling into the floor. Okay that was… unexpected. “You are… you are gay too?” he asked, just in case he had mishead because there was… there was no way… right?  Was Jet really…? “Then… you came here because you wanted to? So that means… you are here because… oh…” he said, his face going completely red at the realization. In one way, it was obvious that Jet had sex. But finding him at a sex camp was… a whole another level. “How… how long have you been here? I got here like a couple days ago and didn’t see you around before” Jayce had a million more of questions, but decided to try to pace them so he wouldn’t overwhelm his big brother. “You… you don’t have to do that. I can get out of trouble on my own. And most guys like it when I give them that kind of attention too” he said, shaking his head and giving the other a cute smile. Hopefully, his brother would let the fact that he had come up to him to grab his ass slide. Which, the more Jayce thought about it… the more he realized that… it didn’t really bother him. Which was what was freaking him out. “Are you… are you staying with like… someone?” he asked, unable to keep quiet. He wanted to know everything about this new side of his big brother. 

jet raised his brows as his little brother asked if he had been sent there by their parents to come get him. if his parents knew either one of them were at a gay camp like this, they would of been disowned on the spot or at least their father would of come down to get them himself. “ do you really think mom and dad would send me to a gay camp to get you? they’d be on the first plane here to get you themselves and send you to straight camp instead. “ jet shook his head as he chuckled at the absurdity of his parents sending any of his brothers to come get the other in a situation like this. he internally was grateful that his little brother decided to get coke while around him even though he knew that this probably wouldn’t be the only thing he’d drinking during his time there. he couldn’t watch him at every turn so he had to let him make his own mistakes. “ i mean.. this is my fifth time here. “ jethro admitted, proving to jayce that he was indeed gay just like him. “ yeah jayce but we don’t have to talk about that. “ he waved a hand at the younger boy, not wanting to go in-depth about his sexual exploits with his little bro. “ about a week but i’ve been a bit busy. “ he awkwardly replied, hoping jayce wouldn’t ask what busy meant. “ i’m still your big brother, if anyone messes with you - you tell me immediately, ok? “ jet pointed a finger at the younger boy. he still felt protective over him, now even more so. even though he now knew jayce wasn’t so innocent that didn’t stop him from feeling like he still needed to be watched over a little bit. he was so young, so impressionable and he didn’t want for him to get taken advantage of. “ uh.. no i’m not. “ jet looked over at his brother with a brow cocked. man he had so many questions for him. 

jude knew he should work harder to be more positive in his outlook and not be so focused on appearance, but that was easier said than done in a place like this after all. “Well I really appreciate that Jet, it means a lot and I think you already know that I am very fond of everything you pull off” he grinned as his stomach was patted and then jude leaned in to press a kiss to the top of his fluffy head. “I’m glad that you have let yourself go and begun to forget why you were so nervous, it’s really great to see on you”

there was too much pressure in their community to look a certain way. he felt it when he first came out. jethro almost developed an eating disorder after his first time at camp, mostly because he felt like he had to look exactly like the muscly men that attended and he naturally wasn’t a big dude. he thankfully caught it before anything bad happened and worked really hard to start loving his body, now he doesn’t give a fuck if someone doesn’t like his body type. that’s their issue, not his. “ well it’s the truth. you’re hot and you should show it off. “ he chuckled out as jude pressed a kiss to the crown of his head. it was a nice feeling, made him feel comforted even when he didn’t need it. “ it’s taken a few years to get there but i’m glad i’m me, you should be too. “ 

⠀⠀a  smile  continues  to  embellish  the  older  man’s  countenance  ,  looking  towards  the  curly  haired  stranger  with  a  keen  gleam  evident  within  bright  ,  hazel  hues  .  he  could  tell  by  the  way  in  which  he  gushed  about  his  job  that  it  was  enjoyed  ,  not  that  words  were  even  necessary  ,  anyway  .  it  was  written  all  over  his  face  —  pure  passion  &  vehemence  —  making  him  look  more  attractive  than  he  was  already  ,  if  that’s  even  possible  ,  that  is  …    ❝    well  ,  with  you  as  their  teacher  ,  i  can  safely  say  that  america’s  future  is  in  great  hands  .    ❞    the  trainer  compliments  ,  chuckling  in  duality  with  the  younger  brunette  .    ❝    &  i’m  extra  sure  that  i’ll  be  in  great  hands  too  .    ❞    speaking  of  hands  ,  one  instinctively  ventures  forwards  ,  offering  the  other  an  introductory  handshake  .    ❝    oh  ,  i’m  isaiah  ,  by  the  way  .  nice  to  meet  you  ,  man  .    ❞

honestly, jet missed those kids. it was always so bittersweet at the end of the year since he got so attached to his classes and they had to move on. they were like kids of his own and he hoped one day when he older, they’d remember him as someone who helped them grow. “ thank you, it’s really nice of you to say that. “ he gushed with a large smile which made the corners of his blue eyes crinkle. “ you are right about that one. “ the curly haired man teased before meeting the isaiah in the middle, firmly grasping his hand while giving it a shake. “ jethro, it’s nice to meet you too. “ 

About nine minutes later, Jackson arrived to the lake with a cooler full of beer and a few snacks. He was going to just have a chill day with this guy even if nothing sexual came of it. Jet looked like he needed it and Jackson was always happy to supply someone with friendship. He padded to the other, plopping down beside him and opening the cooler. “Got the beer and snacks, Jet.” 

jet checked his phone, making sure his parents hadn’t called him as jackson went back to his cabin to grab the alcohol. honestly, though many came here just for the sex, he liked making friends here. he didn’t have any gay friends that he knew of back home so it was nice to just meet people who understood him. “ great ! “ he smiled as he locked his phone and put it back into his shorts pocket. “ beer me. “ jet stated with his hands open wide so the other could toss him one. 

Jude would happily spend his whole day here, relaxing with Jet and just watching the world pass by as they spoke. At the question, he looked down into the other’s inquisitive face and shook his head, watching the curly haired man’s hand run down his chest and stomach. “My body is lanky and shit, nothing like the majority of the hunky hulky men here with more abs than fingers” he pointed out, gesturing an arm around the camp. “Guess I’m just not confident in my appearance enough for this place, you know”

jet couldn’t help but shake his head as well but for a different reason. it always bothered him how some gay men put muscles over their self-worth. there were plenty of incredibly sexy men who weren’t huge hulks of men. “ well i can’t speak for everyone but trust me when i tell you that lanky can be very sexy and i think you pull it off very well. “ he patted the others stomach before letting out a sigh. “ that’s why i think this place is great for that. when i first came here i was not confident in myself at all but i just let myself go and after a while i forgot why i was so nervous. “ 

Jayce felt like dissapearing from the face of the earth. Better yet, turn back time so he would never come here and let Jethro find him. God, he had even pulled a move on his big brother. What a mess. He could remember all the times as kids when they played together and how much he had missed him when he went to college. He had always admired Jet and now… of course he had to fuck that up. “O… Ok…” Jayce said in a hiccup, trying to control his tears. He wiped them with one of his hands, but his eyes were still bright and wet. “I just… I never wanted to let you or mom or dad down…” he started before Jethro went ahead with the tough questions. Jayce shook his head and then took a deep breath. This was already a mess, so what good would he do by lying? “I… yeah… I… I am… gay. I’m gay, Jet” he confessed, feeling his cheeks burn at the confession. He had pictured coming out to Jet first, but the current setting and circumstances had never crossed his mind. “I don’t… I don’t just do that to any guy!” he said, now blushing from embarassment. “It just… it seems to work really well here, okay?” he admitted with a short chuckle. “It also lets guys know that I’m interested in… that… that I’m mostly… a top. You know that I… you know what I mean… don’t make me say it…” he added, as he looked at his brother and blushed. He hoped the other didn’t mention that, a few minutes before, Jayce had thought about topping him. His own brother. 

this situation was out of his league. never in a million years did he think he’d have to have this conversation with jayce in the middle of a camp basically for just sex. in his eyes, his little brother was still that, little. his memories of him were of him following him around like a small puppy all wide eyed and sweet. now he was grabbing ass at a sex camp, it was so strange but at the same time he an adult. jethro had no real reason to be upset with him especially since he was there too, he had kept this a secret as well. it was just so shocking, it definitely shattered that goody-goody image he had of jayce but kids had to grow up some time i guess. “ you’re not letting me down.. it’s just weird to see you here. “ he sighed out as his brother wiped his eyes. he picked up a napkin from the bar and held it out for him to take, so he properly wipe them. “ well.. me too, jayce. “ the older man replied matter of factly, knowing it was just easier to say it out loud now after everything. he definitely couldn’t imagine coming out to his other brothers and honestly he hadn’t imagined coming out to jayce until this moment forced it onto both of them. he was glad it was jayce, he was always the kindest of his brothers. as his brother stumbled over his words trying to explain himself for having grabbed him earlier, he couldn’t help but agree with him. it was true, people really responded to boldness here. “ okay okay, you don’t have to go into detail. i get it. just be careful, ok? i don’t want to have to fight someone for you. “ he teased his younger brother, hoping to lighten the mood a lil even though it still was extremely weird. hearing jayce talk about being a top was just strange especially after he’d been so bold earlier. 

Jayce almost shrunk when his brother shouted at him. He didn’t recall Jethro ever using curse words against him. He had heard him curse before because of course he did, but never to him. Was… was he dissapointed on him? “I was… I was just… I wanted a drink and…” he stuttered, his face going red as he tried to think on a good reason why would he be at a sex camp. A gay sex camp, of all places. “I don’t… They don’t…” he said again, shaking a bit before he started crying. “Jet, I’m so sorry. I just wanted to… to know what it was like… please don’t tell mom and dad. I promise I’ll be good and never do this again” he began to say in between sobs. “Please don’t be mad at me…” he added, desperately. To lose his big brother’s approval would hurt so much he couldn’t bare to think about it. Even if he was well aware that the image of the good, sweet, caring little brother that Jet had of him was now shattered forever. 

he’d never been like this around his brothers but then again, he never found his little brother at a sex camp for men before. it was a big shock for him because they weren’t exactly super close and from what he knew, jayce was a good boy going to college like their parents wanted him to. now he was standing in front of him, tears streaming down his face like a child. jet immediately softened when his brother broke down, realizing his reaction was a bit too harsh but he was terrified of his parents finding out as well. it would not end well for either of them if they did find out. “ i’m not telling anyone, ok? “ jet reached out and patted his little brothers head, ruffling his brown hair to try to comfort him a bit like he would his students. “ i’m not mad.. i’m just... really surprised, jayce. “ he sighed out. “ please stop crying, ok? i’m not mad. “ the curly haired man picked up his drink and downed it in one go, he needed it after what just happened. “ ok so.. you’re gay ? “ jet stated, basically already knowing the answer because of where they were standing and how they just ran into each other. “ do you go around touching every guy you see’s ass ? because you can get into trouble doing that.. “ he added, just surprised by how bold his little brother was for being so inexperienced or.. was he not inexperienced as he seemed?
