Jack and Kyle - Part 9

“Max! Are you up? If you aren’t down here in five minutes you aren’t getting a lift to work!” Max rolled over sleepily and groaned when he heard his step brother’s voice. Max had been an only child until his Mum remarried the previous year. So now he had a new stepdad, stepbrother and stepsister. He got on just fine with his stepdad but his new ‘brother and sister’ were a different matter. At 19, Chase was the same age as Max and the two of them simply didn’t see eye to eye on anything. Aged 15, Max found Chelsea to be a pain in the ass and neither of them really attempted to get on. Staying out of each others way as much as possible suited them both just fine.

“Max, get up for fucks sake!” Chase yelled, banging on Max’s door. “If you get fired then it’s your own fault y’know.”

“Jesus, I’m up, quit fucking yelling at me!” Max reluctantly got out of bed and dragged on a pair of jeans. They were ripped at the knees but he didn’t bother to change them. The room was still dark so Max quickly snapped the blind open, letting sunlight stream into his room. The floor was littered with clothes, various CD cases and other things Max couldn’t be bothered to put away. Since his Mum remarried Max had been forced to share his room with Chase and he couldn’t afford to move out just yet. Chase’s bed was on the opposite side of the room and the floor around it was tidier than Max’s side of the room.

Max grinned, he knew Chase hated him being so messy and it was part of the reason he was so untidy; he enjoyed annoying his stepbrother. He opened his wardrobe and pulled a face when he realised there were no clean clothes in it at all. Instead he grabbed a black shirt from Chase’s drawer and pulled that on. Chase wouldn’t like him wearing his clothes but Max really couldn’t care less.

He yanked open the door and slammed it behind him before walking down the stairs to where Chase was waiting in the hallway, jangling his car keys impatiently. “About fucking time, you’ll be late for work and I’m going to be late for college. Thanks a bunch,” he muttered sarcastically. Max grinned; seeing Chase annoyed definitely brightened up his morning. “Hey, is that my shirt?” He raised an eyebrow, eyeing Max carefully.

“Come on, we’ll be late.” Max said innocently, ignoring his remark about the shirt. Chase opened his mouth to protest but looked at his watch and decided against it. They headed out to Chase’s car together and Max got into the passenger seat. Chase slid into the driving seat and started the engine, reversing the car out of the driveway.

Max glanced over to look at his stepbrother. He didn’t get on with Chase but unfortunately he couldn’t deny the boy was good looking. He had slightly tanned skin, eyes that were the colour of melted chocolate, carefully styled messy dark brown hair and to top it all off, his body wasn’t far from perfect. Max glanced into the mirror to look at his own far lower maintenance appearance. His hair was the same length as Chase’s; long enough to have the shaggy look but not long enough to look girly, but Max’s hair was dyed black. He liked to dye random colours into it just for the hell of it. Right now it was streaked with dark blue with pink edges from where he hadn’t quite covered up the last colour. He rolled his eyes then grinned at his reflection. Max didn’t spend much time on his appearance but he seemed to pull that off and still looked good despite the lack of attention to his looks.

Chase pulled over by the store where Max worked so he could get out. “See you later.” He muttered before slamming the car door shut. Max sighed and reluctantly pushed open the door for another day of the job that bored him stupid.

After work Max pulled out his phone to call Kyle, something that would definitely make his day more interesting, especially after what he’d said to Jack the night before. He smiled, wondering how much damage he had caused. It wasn’t that Max disliked Jack but he didn’t want him to have Kyle.

“Hello?” Kyle answered the phone after the first couple of rings.

“Want to come and cheer me up baby?” Max smiled, heading towards the bus stop at the end of the street.

“I kinda need to talk to you Max, it’s pretty important.” Kyle said slowly. Max frowned, Kyle didn’t usually sound so serious and it made Max wonder what he wanted to talk about. It was probably about Jack. Kyle was probably a bit pissed off about it or something like that,

“Sure, want me to come round?” Max leant against the bus stop, absent mindedly chewing his nails while he waited.

“Uh, I’ll come to yours in half an hour or so, okay?” Kyle’s voice still sounded awkward.

“Alright, see you soon then gorgeous.” Max’s voice was still blasé as if he was completely oblivious to Kyle’s tone. He hung up just as the bus rounded the corner.

By the time Max got home Kyle was already there, sat waiting on the wall outside his house. Max grinned, Kyle looked just as hot as usual and Max stiffened slightly just from thinking about fucking him. “Hey baby,” he smiled as he walked towards Kyle.

“Hey.” Kyle got up from the wall, looking uncharacteristically nervous.

“So what’s up?” Max asked while he unlocked the door. Shoving his keys back into the pocket of his jeans, Max gestured for Kyle to go inside. Kyle walked into Max’s familiar living room and sat down on the couch, resting his feet on the glass top of the coffee table. Max grinned at how easily Kyle made himself at home and shut the door before sitting down beside him.

“I uh... I just need to talk to you about something,” Kyle muttered looking at his feet. Max raised an eyebrow expectantly, waiting for him to carry on. “We’re over.” Kyle blurted out, finally looking up at Max. “I love Jack and I want to be with him, we’re over.” He sighed heavily but smiled a little, relieved to have said what he needed to. But when he looked up at his former boyfriend, he felt a pang of remorse. Despite his flaws, Kyle liked Max. He liked his fun easy going attitude, his ability to make everything exciting and the way Max made him feel. “I can’t be with you anymore,” Kyle murmured, just to push his point seeing as Max still hadn’t said anything.

“You don’t mean that Kye...” Max murmured softly, leaning towards Kyle on the couch. “You know why?” He breathed, his lips almost touching Kyle’s ear. Kyle didn’t reply, he just sat very still and didn’t show any kind of reaction. “Because Jack might be your friend, but he’ll never make you feel the way I do. It’s exciting with him because it’s all new but in a few weeks you’ll be begging to have me back.” Max tilted his head, his lips just brushing Kyle’s neck. “How does it feel when he kisses you? Do you get that same rush as when you kiss me?”

Kyle remained still and didn’t say a word. Max smirked, he wanted to get through to him properly. “Does he fuck you like I do baby? I bet he’s nowhere near as dirty as me, I bet he can’t ever make you cum like I can.” Max’s lips touched Kyle’s neck and although he didn’t say anything, Max saw Kyle’s eyes fall shut and his lips parted ever so slightly.

“You’re gonna regret this Kye, you need me as badly as I need you. We know what each other wants, that’s why the sex is always so fucking good.” Max let the tip of his tongue touch Kyle’s neck while he spoke, lowering his voice to a soft, seductive tone.

“No, Max, I’m with Jack, I won’t hurt him again,” Kyle murmured. He loved Jack too much to do anything to hurt him again but he couldn’t help getting turned on by Max’s words. “Stop...”

Max shifted closer to Kyle and slid his hands to his belt buckle, starting to undo it but Kyle forced himself to push him away. His cheeks flushed at how hot Max could make him feel despite the fact that he was with somebody else. “I’m with Jack and that’s just how it is Max, you’ll find someone else.” Kyle stood up to emphasise his point and started to walk towards the door.

“I know I’ll find someone else Kye, just not someone as good as you.” Max winked playfully, he didn’t truly believe that Kyle would be able to give him up entirely. Kyle paused for a moment but didn’t reply. He left Max’s house, closing the door behind him.

As Kyle had shut the door behind him, Max wondered whether he had been serious about not wanting to be with him anymore. It wasn’t just sex, he did have feelings for Kyle even though he tried not to let it show most of the time. He bit his lip then after a moment, picked up the phone. He scrolled through his numbers until he reached Jack and Kyle’s home number then pressed the ‘call’ button.
