Why Me? (BoyxBoy)

Extra!

Johnny has been living with us for about three years now, thankfully Phoenix was more than happy to foster him with me.

We got him into counseling and he's a lot better. Mentally and physically, he was able to build on his muscles and get more physically fit. Turned out, he actually really likes baseball. How cute! I love him so much already!

We're thinking of adopting him, but we're not sure what he'd say.

I remember the day I brought him home. Phoenix looked at me with an inscrutable look, but didn't say anything until after dinner when Johnny went to sleep.

"What do you think you're doing?" Phoenix asked taking off my shirt. I looked up at him and smiled.

"I told you about him." I said raising to my tippy-toes and kissed his lips. "Please don't be mad."

Phoenix rolled his eyes and put a hand behind my head, deepening the kiss. My legs instantly went weak and I felt myself going under his spell.

"So?" I whispered as he pushed me onto the bed, Phoenix climbed on top of me, hovering over my smaller frame.

"Absolutely." He whispered into my ear, biting my earlobe.

And since then Phoenix has been a real role model. He showed Johnny how to fix different parts of the house, how to dress nice on a low budget, taxes, different life skills.

I can tell Johnny was fond of Phoenix, who wouldn't be? Once we sat around the dinner table and Johnny told us how he's getting straight A's and that there's this one boy he's interested in.

It felt like it was only yesterday when I met Phoenix and he changed my whole love life. Which was practically nonexistent until him.

Johnny always seemed in awe whenever we shared our love life and whenever Damian and Carter came over and told him about theirs.

However, it wasn't always the easiest with Johnny. At times he'd act out, bring us unexpected attitude, but it's okay. He's a teenager, it happens. He would at times get night terrors in which we'd wake him up. At the beginning he never told us what the dreams of, but after the first few times when he realized we were leaving, he finally told us.

It broke my heart when I found out how he felt unsafe in his own bed. A while after, he'd ask to sleep in our bed. But then when we got him into therapy, that seemed to majorly help him and soon he got back to sleeping on his own bed.

He really is a well rounded kid with a good head on his shoulders.

He has such a bright future and I really love him.

A few days ago Phoenix told me that he caught him kissing a boy.

I think it's time to have the talk.

I sat Johnny down and saw he shifted around uncomfortably. "Did I do something wrong?"

His voice cracked at the end, as if he was scared I was going to hit him. I broke my serious expression with a smile and shook my head. Instantly, Johnny calmed down.

"I heard you were caught kissing somebody." I said with a large smile. My boy is growing sexual!

"Oh! I am so sorry! It won't-"

"Which is totally fine, I don't mind you dating, especially since you're 16. But I just want you to know there are serious consequences for kissing people and having sex." I began shaking my head, thinking about it. The worst thing that can happen.

"What are they?"

"Herpes! You don't want them! See look at this picture!" I showed him a picture of herpes. "Herpes are the worst! Do not get them! You hear me? Do not, under any circumstances get herpes!"

It didn't faze him. Johnny shook his head and put his head in his hands. "Dad, I don't think that's how it works. Phoenix already had the talk with me, I'm guessing he anticipated this happening."

Phoenix had the talk without me! How dare he?

"Well shut up and don't get herpes, okay?" I warned shaking my head, leaning back into my chair. "Herpes."
