Subject: Mike Our Star Player IX

Hello folks, our friend who is writing the story for us has asked that I
try my best to detail what happened both prior and after Mark and I headed
off to get tux's for the "Spring Fling". That is our schools version of a
Prom but its open to the whole school as we do not have any seniors
attending New Town High yet.  I am so sorry because I forgot to mention
that my name is Mike just another gay high school jock that has a dad that
used to play in the NFL, and I have the best partner for life in a really
cute guy named Mark. One last thing before I do my part of dictating my
version of what had happened as well as while we where at the Mall ordering
our tux, and that is the friend that is submitting my story is blind. He
uses a guide dog named Bagger along with a screen reading program so that
he can check spelling errors.  I guess that I needed to say that because
lately some very rude people who have been reading the story have sent him
some nasty e-mails asking him if he is blind and stupid or just plain
stupid, because he agreed not to get real graphic when it comes to Mark and
I having sex.

I gave Mark about 30 mins. before I went upstairs to our bedroom to find
out what he was crying about after he ran out of the kitchen.  Mark was
laying across our bed sobbing in his hands, and the last time that I saw
him cry was when he found out that his dad no longer wanted anything to do
with him because he was gay.  I sat down next to him rubbing his back
asking Mark to tell me why he was crying, and his answer really shocked me.
Mike he started to say in between sobs, I had always wanted us to be best
friends, boyfriends, lovers and maybe partners, but when you said," Mark we
are not best friends, boyfriends, but lovers who are also partners.  It
finally hit me that means since I am living here with you and Marty, that
people will think of me as either a sex toy or kept boy since its yours and
Marty's money that is supporting me".  Oh no you are not a kept boy or a
sex toy Mark, and if I ever hear anyone say something like that its me they
to deal with.  Go wash your face so we can head over to the Town Center to
get the tuxes.

Before Mark came downstairs I told dad what had been said upstairs by Mark
about being called a kept boy along with a sex toy.  I have never seen dad
so angry after I told him that is why Mark was crying and had run off to
the bedroom.  Dad said," Mike we need to make Mark feel like he is really
not just another guy staying at our house, but that he is also your lover,
and partner as well". After a pause he continued. "Mike we need to get you
and Mark tux's that are your own, because I am going to start taking the 2
of you with me on speaking engagements, and I think that you Michael just
may want to also use some of your money from Christmas to buy Mark a ring
either gold or white gold to match the one that I have here in this box
that was bought for you by somebody I can not say who as I made a promise
not to tell you".  I called for Mark to come down so that we could go to
some place instead of the Town Center to get our tuxes.

What do you mean not over at the Town Center Mark asked me as he came into
the kitchen while dad was talking to some guy at a place called Tuxedo
House over in Timonium off Greenspring Drive.  I had called the jeweler
that dad recommended also before calling Mark down to the kitchen.  The
jeweler is located in Pikesville off Reisterstown Road called Michael's
that dad recommended to me very highly.  Dad also told me that when it came
time to order our class rings that he planned to take both Mark and myself
there to get a special ring made instead of simple ones that cost just
about the same.

Mike, I have a couple of questions to ask you Mark stated.  Ok lover ask
away was my reply to see his reaction after our talk upstairs earlier.  Ok
"Do you think of me as a kept boy?  Also am I just a sex toy for you? I
need to know cause its killing me when I hear people both at school and in
the neighborhood saying stuff like that cause I am gay, and you are the
Star of the school cause of football as well as the neighborhood".  Damn
Mark I wish that you had said something earlier if it was hurting you so
badly, because you are not a kept boy nor a sex toy.  Now you hear me good
Mark," You are my best friend, lover and partner from today till the day
that we die".  Does that make you feel any better as well as answer your
questions?  YES YES Mike he yelled running into my open arms.  Now you also
listen to me Mark," I love you as a my best friend, lover as well as my
life partner, and if they are saying that just because some people know
that you are Gay means s*** because Mark as you know very well I also am
GAY.  We are not going to rent tuxedos because dad wants both of us to have
our own, because he plans on taking his sons on his speaking tour when we
can go with him.

Oh how I wish that I had know what was bothering my little buddy as I liked
to refer to Mark as since his body was not as muscular as mine yet.  What I
had in muscles Mark made up in brains and actually taking advanced
placement tests to see if we could be in the same class next fall.  Mark
means the world to me, and if I ever hear somebody talk about him in a
derogatory manner they will answer to me.  Also I let the word out in the
neighborhood that I would not tolerate any nasty comments about Mark, and
that I did not care if was by an adult or a kid because they would also
have to answer to me.

We tried on a number of tuxedoes at The Tuxedo House, before we finally
decided that mine would be a dark brown to match my hair and eyes, and
Mark's was a blue they called midnight blue that also was a perfect match
to his eyes especially since he was now wearing blue tinted contacts
instead of glasses.  After being told when they would be ready for a final
check followed by our picking them up the morning of the Spring Fling.  I
than asked dad if we could please stop at Michael's in Pikesville.  Dad
knew what I wanted to get at Michael's, so he took a digital picture of the
ring in the box than faxed a copy over since the ring in the box was also
bought there they had no problems in matching it. ( Dad did not tell me
that he had taken Mark there in December after the State Championship
Football Game to use a gift certificate to get me the ring in the box that
dad had shown me earlier in the day)

Grabbing Mark's hand I said," Lets go see if they have anything that you
would like to wear, because my partner needs to have a ring doesn't he"?
Oh YES Mike you are so right that partners need to have rings to wear
always. Ok except when playing football as it can hurt bad I have been
told. Mike, I need to ask Marty a favor first if that is ok with you?  Sure
you can ask our dad anything that you want Mark.  Ok !!  I over heard him
ask dad for the ring box that dad had shown me earlier that morning after
Mark had run off crying.  A few Minutes later Mark returned with something
in his hands.  Mike, I love you as a brother, as a boyfriend, as a lover,
also as my life partner,"So will you please wear this ring I am offering
you as a sign of my love to you as boyfriend, lover but wholely with my
heart as my life partner?.  Oh I started to cry because he was so sweet in
everything he said, and because I knew that he said it from his heart.  Of
course Mark I would be honored to wear this ring that you have gotten for
me.

We walked into Michael's to get my ring for Mark holding hands, and as
happy as a kid on his birthday.  Than all of sudden I heard a voice that
was very familiar to both of us calling Mark my little sex toy.  I turned
around to see former Coach Darr with Mark's former mom and his father (
even though he threw him out and refuses to talk to Mark ) standing there
laughing. When I turned around to address all three bigots, the two who
where shunned by the neighborhood because of infidelity by both.  Before I
could say or do anything, Darr had the nerve to push me to the ground.
Well that was all that dad needed to see or hear because before he left the
car, dad also had called 911 to report an assault on two teenagers by three
adults just outside of Michael's.  Watching dad grab Darr and Mark's dad
throwing them up against the wall telling us to get a sales clerk and
return here for the police to arrive.  Which they did arrive in a few
seconds after we went inside to get the clerk like dad had requested.  Upon
our return with a very handsome Greek looking man at our sides.  I called
out to dad," Here we are dad".  Marty long time no see said the gentleman
to dad, and dad asked if they cameras had caught the whole thing. Of course
it did Marty my friend.  Thanks Michael please offer to show it to the
Baltimore County Police officers because I plan on pressing charges against
all three of them especially the two so-called me they are holding.  Also
Mark wants to ask ask a favor of you as he need a matching ring to the one
he is wearing.

While we went inside to talk with Michael to discuss possible rings for
Mark, dad was outside with the police after they reviewed the film to let
the officers that he wanted all three arrested not just the two men.
Michael in private asked Mark if he would like to upgrade the ring that he
had given to me for a more fancy one that he had a matched set he like him
to look at, and of course Mark had to ask the magic question," How much
more will it cost me".  Michael told him directly that normally it would
cost about $75.00 to take the upgrade, but since the three adults had just
come from his store he would not charge an extra cent because he felt
guilty that it had happened.  Mark told Michael that if is the case than he
would accept the upgrade to the more stylish ring that he had bought last
December.

Finally after Michael ( the owner of the store) had taken our ring finger
measurements he showed both of us several sets of rings.  Mark asked me,
"Mike which one do like best"?  This one pointing to a pair of rings that
had two stallions on the side facing out.  I than leaned over to Mark and
whispered I like these because you are my stud and I hopefully am yours for
life.  Man did that bring on the biggest smile I have seen on Mark's face.

We placed the ring on each others finger telling each other that we are
partners for life, and than we turned to Michael to ask if he could also
make our class rings for us.  Gentleman I would be honored to make your
class rings just as special as the rings that you now wear together as
lovers and partners.

Hopefully I will be able to get Mark to describe part of the Spring Fling
than I have been told by Mike that he will describe his happiness there in
the chapter after Mark does his.
