Diamond gave me the "wherein" and the title without ever having read the story.
"...wouldn't get out of my face, kept talking to me, trying to conversate about-"
"Converse," Kevin said, breaking into Nick's story.
"What?" Nick asked, stopping short to look over his shoulder at Kevin.
"Converse," Kevin said. "The word is converse. Don't bother speaking above your education level if you don't even know the words you're using."
"I know how to talk," Nick said. "Don't call me an idiot."
"I didn't say that you were an idiot. I said that you need to stick to the words you know."
"You need to stick to shutting up," Nick said.
"The saga of the annoying girl wasn't that interesting in the first place, but could we get back to it?" Howie asked. "It was better than this."
Nick slumped, crossing his arms over his chest, glaring towards the opposite wall. Kevin elbowed him out of Kevin's personal space. Nick got up and walked out.
AJ, disgusted with Kevin, made a jerking off motion.
Brian said, "Hey, not in my face."
AJ laughed.
"Disgusting," Brian said. "Let me go wipe this off," and he started to get up.
"Stay there," Kevin muttered. "I'll go talk to him."
"I'll talk to him," Howie said, making a move to go.
"No, me, me!" AJ said. "Leave him alone. He'll come back when he wants - - never mind."
Nick came back in and put a tape in the VCR. "Guess what Byron gave me."
"A blow job," Kevin said.
"Kevin," Brian said, wanting Kevin to back off.
"Like I said," and AJ made the jack-off motion again.
"One more time, AJ," Kevin warned.
Nick started the tape and sat on the couch, resuming his place between Kevin and Howie as the tape started.
They watched the tape begin.
"No! No, oh, God, please, no!" AJ cried.
"Is that my hair?" Howie asked.
"Damn, we were young," Kevin said.
"What was Nick back then, eight, nine?" Brian asked.
"Damn, you were cute back then," AJ said to Brian. "You were cute, too," he said to Nick. "Hell, even I looked good. For the times."
"You had a lot of hair," Howie said to Nick.
"Hey, what's Ikaika doing - - oh, never mind, that's Kevin," AJ said.
"Whoa, Kevin!" Brian said. "Grabbing and thrusting in front of the camera."
"Why do they have footage of me breathing?" Nick asked.
"Hey! Hey! Back that thing up!" AJ said. "Look at that. We were playing pool in our videos long before - - before - - that's all I'm sayin'."
"We were standing around looking longing on beaches, too," Kevin said.
"Like the girl who has everything would want one of their mangy mutt asses," AJ said.
"How many times are they going to go through which one of us is which?" Brian asked, to change the subject. "That's number three right there."
"We all look so much alike, it's easy to get us confused," Howie explained.
"Right," Brian said, to humor him.
"Gotta love Germany," Kevin said.
"They're going to introduce us again!" Brian said.
"They spelled your name wrong," Nick told AJ.
"No, really," AJ said.
"Nick, you are all over us," Kevin said.
"What?" Nick asked.
"On the video," Kevin said. "You're taking up half the couch by yourself. Look at that. You're half on Howie and half on me."
"Growing boys need room," Nick said.
"What's your excuse now?" Kevin asked.
"Kev, I just want to be close to you," Nick said, leaning in, batting his lashes.
Brian and Howie choked and gagged.
"So freaking cute," AJ said, watching Nick trying to explain things onscreen. "No wonder the girls loved you. They wanted to be your mommy."
Nick onscreen screwed up, confusing "resign" with "reside" with a brief stop at "retire."
Kevin in real life started laughing, finding the coincidence hilarious, especially since he'd been the one to give Nick the correct word that time, too.
Nick, not finding it funny at all that Kevin always had to be right and he always had to look stupid, got up and squashed into the armchair with Brian and AJ.
Brian patted Nick. "It's okay. You were young and nervous."
"What's his excuse now?" Kevin asked.
Brian grabbed AJ's hand to keep him from making the infamous motion at Kevin once again.
"Wait!" AJ said, catching a glimpse of something onscreen. "Back it up, back it up - - where's the - - back it up! No, there, there!"
Howie's profile was onscreen.
"What?" Howie asked. "At least they spelled my name right."
"There, at the bottom. Howie's favorite pastimes."
"What?" Nick asked. "Swimming, water sports, and racquetball."
Kevin laughed.
"What?" Nick asked.
"AJ," Howie said. "AJ, shut up. Shut up!"
"What?" Nick asked.
"Nothing," Brian said. "Guys."
"Howard, Howard, Howard," AJ said. "Shame on you. Children have seen this video."
"They're German. It's the translation," Kevin said. "They didn't realize." He was still laughing.
"What?" Nick demanded.
"Water sports," AJ said.
"So? I like water sports," Nick said. "Unless they mean water polo. I don't even know what that is. But scuba diving and snorkeling and stuff. Or is it fishing?"
"It means golden showers," Kevin said. "Urination rituals."
"Urination?" Nick asked.
"Piss play as part of sex," AJ said. "It means that one of Howie's favorite pastimes is getting off on pissing on people, or having them piss on him."
"What?!" Nick asked, shocked and fascinated. "Howie?"
"I told you to shut up," Howie told AJ.
"You're a pervert," Nick said to Howie. "You're all perverts, for knowing what it means."
"I've never been called a pervert before," Brian said.
"Yeah, me, either," AJ said. Kevin snorted.
"It was the translation," Howie said, trying to explain it away. "They didn't realize the double meaning. They didn't-"
"They didn't, they didn't, whatever," Nick said. "We don't care about them. Is it true or isn't it?"
"What?" Howie asked.
"You like a little pee with your sex?"
AJ grinned widely, waiting for the answer.
"Nick," Kevin said, trying to keep Nick away from unsafe territory.
Brian glanced at AJ with dawning suspicion. AJ raised an eyebrow at him, smiling. "Nick," Brian said quickly, realizing. "Howie-"
"Do you?" Nick asked Howie.
"Nick," Brian said again.
"What? I'm just asking. He was gay forever before anybody told me. I thought maybe there was other stuff I didn't know about."
"We didn't-" Howie started to say.
"I was young, you didn't want to influence me, whatever. I'm older now, in case you didn't notice that growth spurt. So tell me. You ever peed on anybody?"
"No," Howie said. "No, that's-"
"So who peed on you?"
Howie froze, turning red.
Brian watched the tape continue to play, hoping for a distraction.
"It was one time," AJ said. "It wasn't a habit. But Howie can't try the nasty kinky stuff outside of Backstreet. We don't want that on the Web."
"When you two were having sex, you peed on him?" Nick asked.
AJ shrugged.
"Was it good?"
Kevin burst into laughter so hard AJ snapped, "Don't hurt yourself there, Kev."
"Yeah, if you're going to wet your pants, aim towards Howie's end of the couch," Nick said.
Brian didn't want to offend Howie, but even he had to laugh at that one.
"Was it good?" Nick asked again. "It sounds gross, but if you're into it..."
"I'm not into it," Howie said. "It was one time."
"Turned me on," AJ said.
"What?" Brian asked, looking at him.
"Damn, that got your attention quick," AJ said. Brian blushed. "Yeah, it turned me on. Howie and I'd been having sex, and he asked me if we could try it. I figured he'd gotten me off so well I should do something for him, so why not? When you get a partner as good as Howie, you're willing to grant special requests just to keep him happy."
"AJ, shut up," Howie said.
AJ kept talking. "So we tried it. We were at his place, and we put plastic under the sheets. We screwed around, and then I stood on the bed, towards the foot, and I did my thing. Got him on the chest first, and then he rolled over and I got his back. It looked fucking incredible."
"And then what?" Nick asked. "You washed the sheets and took a shower and decided not to do it again?"
"No, then I fucked him," AJ said. "I would've done it again but he never asked me, and then we stopped having sex."
"You had sex with him after you-"
"It was so fucking sexy to see him like that, I was going to fuck him and I didn't care what else was going on," AJ said.
"It's human waste," Brian said.
"You peed on Howie," Nick said. "I mean, some days I'd like to shit on Kevin..."
"Nick-" Kevin began, not amused.
"I'm glad Howie could ask me to try it," AJ said. "I'm glad that I said yes."
"You would've done it again?" Nick asked.
"Probably once more. Maybe it would have been a mistake to try to duplicate it. Maybe the magic was in the first time. But I would've done it again."
"Would you do it now?"
AJ looked at Howie.
Howie was angry and hurt and embarrassed, mad at them, furious at AJ.
AJ remembered when he'd been Howie's lover. How he'd made sure that no one came close to hurting Howie. How he'd been protective of Howie, despite Howie being older, despite Howie being perfectly capable of looking after himself. He'd been in love with Howie then. "Yeah," he said now. "Yes, I'd do it again."
"With Howie," Nick said.
"With Howie," AJ said, looking into Howie's dark eyes.
Kevin pretended to brush away a tear.
Brian sighed as though touched by the romantic moment.
"With me?" Nick asked.
