Chapter Seventeen: CLAIM

Stefan breathed a much-needed air, all though it seems painful to inhale. "I'm in love with....w-with Sky," Stefan choked out and almost everyone in the room gasped. "I love him," He stated matter of fact, the words rushing into his soul and crashing down like a strong wave cooling his heart and all that is within him, a newfound strength surged into his body as the said boy turned glistering blue eyes at him. Stefan smiled at him and watch the beautiful pink color adore Sky angelic face. For a face like that, Stefan would walk through the fire all the way to hell and back.

"What!?" His mother's terrified voice cracked. "It can't be. Your bro--." Her voice broke.

Stefan ran his hand through his already messed up hair. "Brothers Ma, I know and I also know how wrong it is in every sense of it but this is what it is. I've tried to stop, to not feel what I've always felt, nothing works mother."

"No!" Sky's mother cried out silently.

"Remember when I told you I could never get an erection all my life?" Stefan asked his parents. "Well, that changed tonight, he changed me, he healed me." Stefan pointed shaky fingers towards the shocked filled face of the other boy.

Sky had no idea of the battle that his Stefan had gone through, he also would never have guessed that cock that was pressing into him so hard that he had wet his pants, that same penis had never gotten a hard-on ever. Sky's jerk off sections has always been when he looked at the older boy's pictures, he had also tried to picture other boys or sexy models from the magazines but it had never worked for him. Sky's heart if it were already filled with love and devotion for the older boy, now it was overflowing, If that was even possible.

"He owns me, mother." Stefan's words broke the quietness once more. "He owns me completely. I am sorry it all ended this way, believe me when I said I tried." Stefan blinked back tears. "Forgive me. All of you." He begged. Stefan honestly hoped they would understand.

Sky went on his knees and cried into his palms, Sammy held onto him, whispering things into his brother's hearings alone. Stefan looked on as the other boy shoulders shook with uncontrollable sobs. Stefan trudges wearily towards him.

"You can't do this!" This time it was Jared who spoke. Stefan stopped on his tracks as everyone turned to look at him.

Stefan wasn't surprised the boy's father didn't approve.

Who would?

"He is your brother. Your father and I are blood brothers, over there is your grandfather. It's impossible." Its no doubt that every member of their family knew of the connection between the boys right from birth and they know the pain and change Stefan's push away did to Sky. The boy had straight out refused to go to college, high school was a battle and he wouldn't attend classes most of the time. They knew these things and they had all prayed it passed them and that they grow past it.

"Your uncle is right Stefan, this is unacceptable. Gay is acceptable but incest is frowned upon by society and everyone in it. You can't, both of you need to stop this madness. You're older and if you really love this boy you'll try harder." Marcelo seethed. Sky hid between Papa Joe's legs at the angry voice of Stefan's father.

'Why wouldn't they just let them be?'

"I tried, father," Stefan spoke up again.

"Try harder, let him go. He needs a life. Sky is just a boy. You love him, you let him go!" Marcelo yelled.

"I can't!" Stefan's voice could be heard from a mile away, his anger coming off of him in hot waves. "I won't." He repeated quietly this time.

"If you disobey me and not let Sky be, you seize to be my son!"

"Fine!" Stefan yelled back and Sky flinched.

"Brothers please!" Gina spoke up finally. "let's not say what we would all regret later. She stood in front of both her brothers. "Look at these boys in question, these are my nephews and now this has happened, remember no one tells a heart whom to love. Both boys have gone through a lot already, each inwardly fighting his own battle in secret. Stefan is twenty-four and Sky eighteen, do you really think they would get over this more than they already tried." Both men exchange looks and then stare back at their little sister in total bewilderment.

"Gina, what exactly are you saying?" Jared asked shocked.

"You mean we should let them go on with this abomination?" Marcelo questioned as more anger flared in him.

"It is called love, Marc." Gina corrected putting both hands on her waist and glaring daggers at her eldest brother.

"It's Taboo." Jared seethed with so much venom to poison the entire household.

"Pa!" They turned pleading eyes to the older man who was trying to coax the fragile boy in between his legs to stop drowning himself in his own pool of tears. Sky was certain he never cried this much his whole life. They can't take Stefan away, it will kill him.

He was scared.

John, on the other hand, knew a day like this would come and he anticipated it, glad to be alive to witness it. Gradually John untangled Sky's death grip on him and stood up facing his children.

"Marcelo, Jared, Gina." He addressed and they all gave their undivided attention to the old man. "You are my children, Stefan and Sky my grandchildren. If what you're all asking me is if I could allow Gina and Jared to get married, then YES." John watched as their mouth fell open in utter disbelief and shock. "I would allow it if whatever they might have is anywhere remotely closer to what these two boys felt and have. I have known of their emotional conflicts from the beginning and silently I have watched and prayed for them but at the same time, I prepared myself for what is to come. From the day the Six years old called the newborn Sky, I have known. It's just a pity they are related." John pulled Sky up and held the boy as he shook in his arms, Sky's legs too weak to keep him up. Sammy came to stand with his brother his own eyes bloodshot. Papa Jo made Sky rest on Sammy while he trudged towards his children who were too transfixed to utter a single word. "The matter of love is unconditional, mis hijos." John stood face to face with his children. A stray tear ran down Gina's cheek and he swiped it off then smiled up at them. "Look at that boy." John gestured towards the now trembling Sky who was still shaking in Sammy's arms the younger boy's weight supporting both him and Sky's. "Who would be a better man for him than Stefan?" John asked but none did more than blink and eye. "You have to let them be or lose both of your sons in return," John whispered the last part into their hearings alone so no one else heard. He chanced a quick glance at them once more before going over to converse with his wife and the other women.

"I won't let this happen!" Marcelo barked and Sky very nearly jumped out of his skin, he turned pleading eyes to his father but Jared wouldn't let this happen either.

"Neither would I." The other man screeched.

Stefan has just been watching the arguments go on between his father, uncle, and aunt, yet his gaze remained glued on Sky. When he saw the other boy bolted from the house, he acted on instincts. Stefan wouldn't have him run away from him again. Not now that they have come this far.

Sky's chest was pumping angrily against his but that only made him want the boy more. They needed this. Stefan pushed them back until Sky's back hit the car and then forced his tongue into the boy's mouth. Sky moaned and dug his nails into the back of Stefan's neck. Sky tasted better than he could ever hope for. It was so masculine but somehow still delicious in every way. Both tongues danced together like they had been together for years instead of mere minutes. Stefan kissed and tasted every cavern of that beautiful mouth and when Sky finally realized Stefan wasn't giving up on dominating the kiss he stopped trying and instead sucked on Stefan's tongue while turning his head to just the right angle causing a groan to escape the older boy.

"You're mine, you hear me. Don't ever fucking run away from me again. If I say stay, you stay." Stefan bit Sky's lower lip and the boy whimpered softly. "If I say go, you go. You leaving me alone in that park after what you did to me made you a very bad pet." Stefan bit hard into the boy's exposed neck not too hard to cause pain but enough to leave his mark, then he blew and sucked on it sensually as a strangled cry fell off of Sky's lips in sexual bliss. Stefan brushed his lips against Sky before capturing his mouth in another breathtaking kiss.

Sky's blood pumping in his ears. 'Fanny is finally his.' The thought alone made him harder than he already was, he could feel his cock leaking so much precum that he felt it wetting his inner thighs.

"Did you hear me?" Stefan husked and Sky nodded and whispered a silent "Yes." Stefan picked him up, capturing his lips again as Sky wrapped his legs around him. Stefan had to admit that the boy wasn't exactly light but still wasn't overly heavy.

Stefan searched through the other boy's back pocket and found the car keys, then he unlocked the car and carried Sky over to the passenger side. Stefan sat him gently in the seat then pulled their lips apart, closing the door he made a mad dash to the driver's side and climbed in, he put the key in the ignition and the car rolled to life then he drove off and into the quiet night. Stefan shot a quick glance to find a worried expression glued on Sky's face. He placed his hand on Sky's shaky ones.

"Look at me." Sky turned tear-filled eyes towards him and his heart squeezed painfully in his chest. "Don't go worrying about our fathers, they don't matter. What matters is that I have got you now and you are mine to keep forever." Sky smiled despite himself, he loves hearing Stefan claim him like that.

"Fanny." He whispered and bit into his lips. Stefan groaned and slammed on the brakes.

"Keep that up and I meant just park this car and fuck you in it, so hard that my name wouldn't stop falling off those sexy lips in sweet chants." Sky laughed, a bright red color burned his face and Stefan drove then off again.
