By Friday, the third of his forced stays in bed, Ricky was starting to feel like an old man as the enforced idleness began to drive him crazy even though his boy friend was with him every and all day he still felt he had to get up and start to move around.

The nights were filled with Warringal holding him in his arms as they slept and it felt to Ricky like the safest place on earth to be, while Barry ran about looking after the both of them as well as trying to stir up a good old fashioned slanging match with Warringal over the blossoming love between the two boys.

Ricky and Warringal had found that a mutual 69 position suited them both because of their respective injuries although Ricky kept having a deep seated feeling of wanting something more, something to fill him with the love he now knew he had for the young mixed race boy that was a part of his life and he knew he would never find anyone like Warringal again so there was a need to fulfill the bonding between them.

Saturday dawned as they all did in this part of Australia, hot, dry and dusty but with a faint smell of over night moisture , Ricky was as usual wrapped up in the arms of Warringal the hot breath on his neck telling him his boy friend was still sleeping but that other parts of him seemed to have a life of their own as Ricky felt that familiar hardness against his back and smiled at the comfort he felt in those golden arms.

The throbbing in his wrist and ankle had receded over the last three days and he wanted to get up and move around so with as much care as he could manage he began to slip out of Warringal’s arms and move to the side of the bed in an attempt to make it to the bath room unaided, to his surprise at the first attempt to move those arms tightened around him, pulling him back against the warm body beside him and a muttered “Stay” came from the nearby lips.

“You awake Warri?”

“Mmmm, sort of, don’t move Ricky this is too nice.”

“Got to go you know where.”

“Oh don’t need me now you’re all healed up?”

“Warri I will always need you, but I gotta go piss, I’m bursting.”

“Promise you’ll come back to bed?”

Ricky turned around to face Warringal and kissing him lightly on the lips he replied.

“Promise.”

“Well ok Pony Boy, but if my belly gets cold I’m coming looking for you, you sure you can make it on that ankle?”

“If I take it slow I think I can.”

“Hmm, ok but you call me if you get into trouble.”

“Sure, can I call you even if I don’t get into trouble?” (Giggle)

“Hell yeah.” (Giggle)

Ricky slid his butt over to the side of the bed and swung his legs onto the floor, the first tentative push with the ankle on the floor seemed ok so he put all his weight on it and pushed himself upright.

“Arrgghh.”

Ricky saw the floor coming up at him as the sharp pain shot through his ankle then he was wrapped up in two warm strong arms as Warringal took his full weight under the armpits to support him, Ricky wobbled as he lifted the damaged leg off the floor and with tears of pain beginning to ease from his eyes he looked up in gratitude at his savior.

“Damn, damn, damn, sorry Warri, I thought it was ok, thanks my love for catching me, how did you move so quick?”

“I was half outa bed when you tried to get up, I knew it wouldn’t be strong enough yet but I wanted you to see for yourself, now lover let me help you to the loo, want me to hold it for you while you piss?” (Giggle)

“Hmmm, nice thought might let you if you’re a good crutch for me to lean on.”

“Come on Pony Boy put your arm over my shoulder and lean on me, I’ll get you in there safely.”

The two naked boys made their limping way out of the bedroom and down to the bathroom ten steps away; they were just about to enter the bathroom when a deep voice sounded behind them.

“Now there’s a sight you don’t see every day, looks as though everything in the world is black and white after all.”

The two boys looked over their shoulders with the reddest blushes ever seen as they recognized the sound of Brian Hamilton’s voice, he stood in the hallway dressed in his uniform ready for work or just getting home from another night of long patrols.

“Uhm… uhm… uhm.”

“It’s ok boys, I’m glad to see you up and around Ricky, just didn’t expect to see all of both of you.” (Chuckle)

“Ahh… uhm… Mister Hamilton… uhm.”

“Go on boys finish what you started, if you want some breakfast before the others get up then come on into the kitchen I’ll wait till you get there.”

“Thanks Mr.H, come on Ricky let me get you sorted out and then we can cover up your bits.” (Giggle)

“Damn it Warri, what about your bits.” (Giggle)

“Oh don’t worry about mine, they’ve all seen them before.” (Giggle)

“Go on you two get your arses in there, I’ve seen enough for one day.”

The two boys moved as fast as they could with their handicap and disappeared into the bathroom.

As the two boys were washing up Ricky looked over at Warringal and gave him a light peck on the cheek then smiled into the mirror at his boy friend.

“Mr. H. is real neat Warri, I mean he didn’t go ape over us being bare assed.”

“Yeah Ricky he’s a good guy, he is one real hard arse cop when he’s on duty but he hates bigots, I think that he is probably the most liked cop ever to be here, sometimes they send a young one here for experience and they try to get carried away with their power but Mr. H. soon sorts them out.”

“I wish my mom and dad were like him.”

“Your old man may surprise you Pony Boy, I saw the look in his face the other day when they were here, I think he knows more than he’s letting on.”

“I don’t think so Warri, he always seemed to take my twin brothers side all the time because he was into real sports and was chasing all the girls at school, dad never seemed to talk much to me, nor mom either for that matter.”

“You ever think that maybe he was waiting for you to talk to him about how you feel?”

“But I couldn’t do that, he’d kill me if he knew about me.”

“My sweet Pony Boy, I some how doubt that would happen, you’re still his son and that goes a long way with most folks.”

“Well I still don’t want to say anything.”

“Ok my lover, then lets go eat before the others get up.”

Warringal took Ricky’s arm and pulled it over his shoulder to support him again as they limped back to the bedroom to dress and then make their way into the kitchen to eat.

The smells coming from the kitchen made Ricky’s mouth water as they both got nearer to the doorway leading into the large area. Brian Hamilton was sitting at the table with his first cup of tea of the day waiting for them, Warringal’s mother was standing over the stove cooking and humming to herself as she stirred and clanged various pots and pans.

“Well you two look a bit more decent, ready for some breakfast?”

Both boys nodded embarrassingly as their faces turned red again at the thought of the meeting in the hallway.

“Ok come on sit down and lets eat.”

Jema began to pile plates with hot food and set down two large glasses of milk for the boys giving Ricky a soft look and almost a smile as she said something to Warringal in her own language.

“What did she say Warri?”

Warringal seemed to blush a little as he looked at Ricky and smiled.

“She said you make a good boy for me and we should go walkabout soon.”

“Oh god, are you going to take him bush with you Warringal?”

“Well mum seems to think it’s good idea Mr. H.”

“Ok I suppose it’s really up to you two, you think it’s needed for Ricky though Warringal?”

“Mum says there’s something special about Ricky and he should go find it out there Mr. H.”

“Hmm, ok when you thinking of going?”

“Not time yet Mr. H., but soon.”

Ricky looked on at the two of them talking about him and this walkabout thing he was meant to do but could not make head nor tail out of it, oh well his Warri would look after him if it came to that and the love he felt for this young friend would never be broken by anything that could happen, he knew that deep inside himself there was something trying to get out but could not identify it, it was just yearning in his stomach that something was missing so maybe they were right about the whole thing, he’d just have to wait and see what happened.

Ricky returned home after another day at the Hamilton’s, his ankle a little stronger but his wrist still bound up tight in the cast, before he left he took a special walk out into the garden to talk to what was now considered HIS horse.

Jipa snuffled his chest and gave his light blonde hair a work over with his velvety lips as Ricky giggled at the soft touch, the horse only glared at Barry and especially at Warringal as he supported Ricky’s weight with his shoulder.

When the horse was satisfied that his little mate was ok he snorted at the other two boys and made his way out of the garden and into a nearby paddock but not before he gave Ricky a last look and a soft snort which Ricky thought was a lot like a smile.

Barry and Warringal were returning to school the next day so it was decided that Ricky should go back home in the morning and that they would drop him off at his house on the way, then, if his parents agreed, they would pick him up again after school finished for the day, Ricky was hoping that his parents would agree for him to be with the two friends overnight each day, especially his Warri, Ricky could not bare the thought of not spending every moment without his Boyfriend.

When it came time for bed that evening before returning home Ricky knew that this had to be the night to ask his Warri for that last step into their relationship, to seal it with his inner most need, to give Warringal the one thing that no one else could have or take from him.

They as usual closed the gap between themselves as soon as they were under the sheets, arms entangled, lips closing together, hot bodies pushing against each other, not in a hard frantic lustful way, but with a smoothness that told of the love and respect they had for each other, just enough to be touching from their toes to their lips, a molding of two young lovers and the need of one for the other.

Ricky pulled his lips from the caressing touch of Warringals and leaned back until he could see into the eyes of the only boy he had ever loved, he whispered softly.

“Warri?”

“Yes Pony Boy?”

“Warri, I love you.”

“Pony Boy, I love you.”

“Warri, will you do it to me tonight, I need you, like… you know… inside me?”

Ricky watched as a small tear rolled down Warringals face, he leaned in and kissed it away.

“Warri, why are you crying, what have I said, I’m sorry… love… please I didn’t want to upset you.”

“Oh my Pony Boy, you didn’t upset me, that was a tear of happiness, that’s the first time you said you love me, no one has ever said that to me.”

“So… will you… you know… do it to me?”

“My Pony Boy, there’s nothing more I want to do than spend my life inside you, but we agreed that we would wait until you are fit and healthy again and that we had real time to sort out our feelings about each other.”

“But I know I want this Warri, I want to show you how much I love you, I want you to have the one thing I can give you that no one else has ever had.”

“Ricky, oh my Ricky, you would give me your virginity to prove your love?”

“Yes Warri, it’s the only thing I have that I can prove my love for you.”

“Hey pony Boy, there is nothing more I would want from you and have dreamed of it all the time but we have to wait, please it is very important that we do it at the right time.”

“When is the right time if not now when we have just made our love real.”

“Soon Ricky love, very soon, when your ankle is good enough we will find the right time.”

“Warri?”

“Yes Pony?”

“I love you.”

“Oh Pony I love you so much too.”

“Kiss me Warri.”

Ricky and Warringal leaned into each other at the same time, their lips meeting with a new tenderness as their feelings for each other were projected through the contact, their slim bodies pushing flesh on flesh as the heat in their groins began to take on a new feeling and hardness.

Their 69 that night seemed to Ricky to be more intense than ever before, it was slower and done with a tenderness that he didn’t think he had in him, the smoothness of Warringals skin as he ran his hand up and down the slim copper coloured hip and thigh as he swallowed the rigid pole standing erect and proud before his waiting lips.

The feeling of the hot moist mouth of his lover as it lowered slowly down the length of his own shaft, once fully holding the length of each other they stopped with their lips pressed hard against the pubic mound of the other and rejoiced in the feeling of fullness they now encompassed.

The warm breath of the other coming in small puffs from their noses as they settled there for a few moments, then the slow withdrawal of the two sets of lips as they worked their way upwards again to at last caress the now sensitive head with their tongues.

The two lovers kept this up for so long that when the final thrust of mouth and now hips came, it was a mutual explosion that was like a duet of two souls reaching a final destination that was a seal on their lives forever.

As the two now exhausted boys turned toward each other their lips met again to mix their love offering with that of the other, taking in the taste and the energy of their love to mix and mingle so that they were completely one with the other.

The next morning at the first cry of a cockatoo out in the gum trees that surrounded the homestead, the two boys opened their eyes to gaze into longing look of love from the other, lips pouted toward each other and the good morning kiss again caused a rising lower down.

As Warringal smiled at Ricky and lifted an eyebrow in askance a voice sounded from the end of the bed.

“When’s the wedding?”

Warringal was the first to speak.

“What the… Baza fuck off.”

“Oh the little Boonga not feeling well?” (Chuckle)

“I’m gonna dong ya Baza.”

“Not while Short Ass has his arms around yah you aint.” (Chuckle)

“Hey Okker, leave my Boyfriend alone.”

“Ooooh, the Yank is alive and kicking.”

Barry leaned over and grasping the bed clothes gave a hard yank and pulled them clear of the two boys as they lay naked and close to each other in the bed.

“Well I can see what Boonga see’s in you, but what the hell you see in his scrawny butt I don’t know.”

“Baza… piss off and let us get dressed.”

“Why, we all know what your little snake looks like, now Ricky, hmmm well he aint doin bad in that area either.” (Giggle)

Warringal lowered his voice to a deeper growl.

“Baza!!!!!!”

“Ok, ok, I’m outta here, but hurry up we have to drop Short Ass off before school.”

Barry left the two boys laughing to himself at the rude awakening he had given them, the sight of the two naked bodies clasping each other didn’t bother Barry in the least, he was just glad that at last his little brother Boonga had found his lover.

As Barry picked Ricky up and placed him in the front seat of the ute he felt again that sharp pain in his stomach, it had been there now for two days, “must be all the rubbish I been eating lately” he thought to himself as he lowered Ricky down onto the seat.

Ricky had heard the faint gasp as Barry had lifted him and looked up at him with concern.

“You ok Barry?”

Warringal looked over at his lover with a question mark lifting of the eyebrow again.

“Nah, it’s ok Ricky, just indigestion, eating to much rubbish lately.”

“Oh ok, you sure you’re ok?”

“Yeah fine now, just a twinge when I pick something up, she’ll be right.”

Barry went around to the driver’s side and hopped into his seat and then with the usual roar of V8 and cloud of dust they were speeding down the driveway as Mrs. H stood on the veranda shaking her head and smiling at the disappearing vehicle.

When Ricky reached his house Warrigal insisted on helping him into the front room and setting him down on a chair as Ricky’s mother began to fuss over him, his father stood off to the side smiling at the scene before him, his boy was home and he knew inside himself that the slim Aborigine boy seemed to be a lot more concerned with Ricky’s health than he and his wife did.

Warringal finished settling Ricky into the chair and then with a smile told him he had to run or he would be late for his first day back at school.

Ricky reached up a hand to caress his lover’s cheek then remembered where he was and took hold of Warringals hand instead and with a short shake said.

“Thanks Warringal, see you after school, ok?”

“Sure Ricky, as long as your parents don’t mind?”

Ricky’s dad looked up at the two of them.

“Why would we mind Warringal?”

“Well Sir, he’s been away for four days and I thought you may want to keep him home.”

“What did you have on mind, just a visit or something a bit more after school?”

Ricky’s dad had a strange smile on his face as he looked at the two boys, Ricky spoke up as the question was asked.

“Dad, I asked Warringal and Barry if they could pick me up after school, well you know, I wont have any company here for the whole day… and well I thought I could spend some time with them afterwards and they could tell me about what home work I had to do.”

“Oh I see, yes well, hmm, home work, well I suppose you have to do that to catch up, hmmm yes well how long is that going to take and why cant you do it here?”

“Well… uhm… Dad… I have to… well sort of look after my horse as well.”

“Ahhh, yes your horse, how did you get a horse, I don’t remember buying one for you?”

Warringal could see his lover getting nervous at the questioning and jumped in to protect him.

“Well Sir, the horse that Ricky was using has been given to him by Mr. Hamilton, he said no one else would be able to ride him now so he is Ricky’s, but Ricky has to go out each day and look after him.”

Warringal hoped that Ricky’s Dad wouldn’t see through the small white lie, it was partly true in a sense that Jipa would now never let anyone else ride him but Ricky, and it was a way of making sure that the two of them could be together as often as they could.

“So Mr. Hamilton GAVE the horse to Ricky did he?”

“Uhm yes Sir sort of.”

“Hmmm ok, well I’ll talk to Mr. Hamilton later today about it, now when did you think you might be home Ricky?”

“Ahhh, well Dad, Uhm I was hoping I could… well stay out there and come home each morning.”

“I see, so what about your mother and I, don’t you want to live with us any more?”

“Of course I do dad, it’s just, well its just… uhm…”

Ricky’s shoulder slumped as he realized that their plan was not going to work and that he would not be seeing Warringal and be alone with him for ages now as he looked up at the thoughtful set on his fathers face.

“Well Ricky, I’ll tell you what I will do, I’m going to finish work early today so I’ll be home about 2.00pm, you have a think about things until I get home and then we are going to talk, just you and I. If I’m happy with our discussion then you can go out with Barry and Warringal each afternoon, as to staying all the time overnight, well I will have to talk to Constable Hamilton about that, sound fair to you?”

With resignation in his voice Ricky answered that it was fair but he knew deep down inside that he was going to be made to pay for his feelings for Warringal but also knew that it had to be brought out into the open today whether he liked it or not, he was certain now that his father knew all about his dark secret and that he was going to be parted from his love forever.

Ricky noticed a tear forming in his mothers eye as she looked at his father and nodded her head toward him, this was his final day of disaster, the day his twin can crow about for the rest of his life. The day he will hear his father disown him and send him back to Canada to a boarding school, never to see his Warri again.

A tear began to fall down his cheek as he took a last look at his boyfriend, knowing that this was the parting he had never wanted to happen, his beautiful Warri left alone just as they had begun to find the deepest love either one had ever had.

Ricky felt a touch on his shoulder and as he looked up he saw his lover give a small smile and then with a wave of his hand he left the room to go to school, Ricky knew that would be the last sight of him as he disappeared through the doorway.
