slowly breathed out. “How about this? You tell your parents before the party, and see how they react. I don’t want to show up there on that day, and surprise them with this. If they say I can still come, I’ll be more than happy to be your date.”
Dean had a point. If things didn’t go as well as Phil hoped they would, then it would ruin Pop’s fiftieth birthday, and Phil didn’t want that to happen.
“You’re right. Even if they turn out to be bastards about the whole gay thing, I don’t want to ruin Pop’s birthday.” Phil nuzzled Dean’s hair, loving how there were thin streaks of silver mixing in with the brownish-red. “I don’t think it’ll be a problem though. They’re all going to love you as much as I do.”
Dean didn’t say anything, yet Phil sensed his disbelief and worry in the lift of his shoulder when he shrugged.
“What happened to you and your parents? You never talk about your mom.”
“Do we really need to talk about this? I thought we were just going to have sex all weekend long.” Dean rolled away from him, then climbed out of bed.
Phil lay there, watching as Dean yanked on a pair of sweats before he headed to the bathroom.

“Oh, we are going to have lots more sex before we say goodbye tomorrow night, but I want to do some talking right now. Besides I’m hungry. Let’s order some room service and you can tell me about your family.”
Dean winced at Phil’s announcement. What family Dean had had died when he was eighteen, right after he’d enlisted in the Coast Guard. His father had died of a massive heart attack, and Dean had lost the only person who’d truly loved him for who he was, not the image he presented to the world.
“What do you want to eat?” Phil called from the other room.
“Whatever you get is fine with me,” Dean said, then splashed some cold water on his face before he went back out there.
He rejoined Phil in bed as he was hanging up the phone. Phil turned to face him with a determined look on his face.
“You aren’t going to get out of this, Dean. I realized something a little while ago. We never talk about your family. You always seem far more interested in what’s happening with mine.” Phil covered Dean’s hand with his. “I want to know what went wrong with yours.”
Dean growled softly, but he knew Phil was right. If Phil was ready to take him home to meet his parents, then Dean needed to tell him why he wouldn’t ever be introducing Phil to his mother.
“What went wrong with my family?” Dean laughed. “I always thought we were your normal Mid-west family, even after I realized I was gay. I didn’t say anything to them about it at first because I was still trying to figure it out for myself. What did being gay mean? Did I want to tell them while I was still in high school and living at home?”
Phil grimaced. “I bet that was hard.”
Shaking his head, Dean admitted, “Actually, it wasn’t that hard to work things out in my head. I didn’t want to be the first ‘out’ kid in my high school. I didn’t want to be the flag bearer for all gays. I just wanted to get through school, and enlist. But during the summer between my junior and senior year, I met a boy.”
Phil’s eyes lit up. “Ooh…a summer love.”
“Yeah, but it wasn’t something either one of us wanted to admit to. He was my first boyfriend, and I couldn’t tell anyone about him. Not that I would’ve anyway, since he wasn’t anywhere close to coming out of the closet.” Dean leaned against the headboard, and stared across the room at the generic landscape hanging on the wall.
He didn’t move as Phil settled on the mattress next to him. He was thinking about Ronnie and how much he had discovered during that summer. Ronnie might not have been willing to come out, but he was willing to do a lot of other things to prove to Dean that liking boys could be just as fun as liking girls.
“Did your parents catch you or
