Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2001 19:05:02 -0400 From: paul paris Subject: The Wheelchair This is a story from the imagination. It is pure imagination and nothing else. I have a book of stories called dreams and this is just one of them. It contains the love between a boy and a man. I do know that this is frowned and illegal in many countries so do please check before you read. If this is not your kind of story then I am sorry. Please leave know and thanks for reading. I am dyslexic and far from illiterate. I do my best and have a proofreader for spelling. But I tell my stories as always in the third person. (Someone who watches what happens but is never involved.) I hope this won't distract you from reading what is one of the better stories in my book. Finally I thank nifty for allowing this to be published. The Wheelchair. Jack was a moron. He thought that everyday. He suffered this feeling everyday, yes that's right he was a mess. Six foot, and suffered from a degenerative bone disorder. He had been very athletic in his time but now the Dolphin of the racetrack who loved motorbikes was useless. Okay so he swam and ran all over the track. That's what his parents would say. He would think nothing of swimming a mile in the pool followed by a swift 10 circuits running. Most sport he would enjoy, until that was, the pain took over. He put on three stone and the quickest he could get about was a crawl. He saw it that way after all he was given sticks so the faster he tried to come to terms with them the more times he fell. He had a Motorbike that allowed him to travel as fast as he wanted. The wind rushed through his hair blowing so hard at times that it caused tears to flow down his cheeks. Glasses helped but he did feel just like the saying said "A King of the road." Now he was a vegetable. Yes I know it's a bad thing to say but that's how he felt. The number of things he could do before now. I believe that sportsmen of all kinds who suffer the same sort of loss feel the same. He never bothered to shave, he only washed when he had to, mainly when clean clothing started to smell after a few hours. He really had let himself go. "Talk to a counsellor. They just might help" was the doctors' answer but no listener was ever a sportsman or even use to having their lives disrupted in such a way as I had. After two I gave up. Yes I did even give it a try. The people I saw were just out of school, well they looked that way. I always wished I could talk to someone who had been through what was happening. They suggested things that were so stupid I realised I had paid for a young person with very little experience, tell me to "get out more, try find a hobby and." I had enough of the diatribe they spouted. Get out more I tried only to fall flat on my arse or face. A hobby, yes I got out more to the corner shop and my new hobby was to sample all the sprits on the third shelf. I would love someone to be honest and tell me I was crippled. The truth could never hurt anyone, well almost anyone. It was after a few months of this that a visit to the hospital took a turn for the worse. I was given a wheelchair and told to stop drinking because they were going to give me some new medication. I had tried every pill and potion in the world well that's how it seemed to me. I even had a box full of some bottles of pills that were no good. Open them up and you would have a large cardboard box full of Smarties. On a number of occasions I had even contemplated taking them all with my favourite tipple and ending what to me was a miserable life. I did however remember the poster at the doctors, which warned parents that pills looked like children's candy coated chocolate and to be careful so went along with yet another pill and the specialists assured that "These will work more efficiently." So here I was, wheelchair to use new pills and no more drinking. I wondered what else they could do to me. I have to be honest now. I had a nurse for a while to help me get about and learn to get used to the wheelchair. I gave him hell. I cursed at him and told him what I thought. I tried everything to vent my anger. He took it all in his stride. After 5 days I found out his name was Ed. From then we spoke about basic things and especially about what I would do after I was getting stronger. I had not laughed in ages but this guy was a comedian. Ed told me the new tablets I was given were Steroid based and they would strengthen the muscles that had been dormant for a long time. It was suggested that I did some weight exercises for my arms. "You do not expect me to push a lazy, ungrateful bone idol idiot around. Do you?" Now there was a guy who spoke my language. He continued to berate me and I got so angry that I was provoked into self propelling my wheelchair towards him to give back as good as he was giving me. "Looks like my work here is done. Now you can move without my help I will go fine a more needy client." So I never thought what the true motive of his out burst was but I sure felt silly because I had not seen it coming. Ed looked at my hands. Seeing how sore they were he gave me some cream and gloves. I was pleased, okay so I can be pleased sometimes. The ramp he had placed against the front door was left. I managed to arrange some workmen to secure it for me adding a bar either side. I could get it fixed in place later that day. That day after the workmen had left I managed to get out. Down to the corner shop then back again. I never brought any spirits but managed to get some milk. It was hard work. My hands were very sore so the cream was a welcome. I managed to get from the chair to a bath cubical that was put in for me. I could undress and get clean clothes because Ed had assembled all my draws and shelves making it easier for me to look after myself. The whole house was changed around to accommodate the chair and not me. I had a Bungalow with three bedrooms a large living room plus an open plan kitchen with all the pans on lower hooks, groceries in lower cupboards. That day I moved about, getting the hang of the new layout. I even tried a few spins but realised I would need a great deal of practice to get anywhere. I was collected to go for some treatment but it was worse than my sports days. I was not given much help instead I was expected to do it all. The one good part was the pool. I could swim as much as I wanted. My legs although useless did have some feeling and I forced what little feeling I had to work to my advantage. It was a great feeling to know that I was doing something. I did say use the pool well I was not swimming I was flopping about. To me it was a success. "Steve you have got to get in the pool it will be good for your back and legs." "Legs are dead, back is dead so I am dead" I looked up while I was part swimming part drowning and saw a boy sitting in a wheelchair. He was very upset. Could not tell his age but he was dressed in shorts ready to swim. "That's it kid you tell them. If you don't then you will be just like me." I sank underwater, returning a few seconds later coughing squirting water into the air like a whale. "Donny is you alright?" I waved away the concern and my swimming experience helped me put on the show. Flopping I reached the side and came face to face with a foot in a calliper. I heaved myself up on the side and saw Steve for the first time. He was light brown haired with very tearful eyes and clearly in a place he did not want to be. He was also clearly embarrassed to be seen in his chair trying his hardest to use his towel to cover it up. Using my hands I moved half way down to my chair and sat in it. I rolled up to Steve and asked, "You don't mind if a guy in a wheelchair sits next to you. Do you? I am tired and need a rest." Steve just nodded giving more movement to the meaning no rather than yes. "I am glad you told him that you did not want to get in the water. They have been on my case for a week now since I got my chair and the best way to shut them up is to get in and then they ignore you." Steve quietly told me he had been in his chair for a year. He could not swim so hated water. He liked wheelchair racing so did do something. I had never seen wheelchair racing but had been running a lot before the chair. It was strange because I had never felt really bad when I had to stop running but at that very moment I missed it a lot. Steve asked me to go to the track sometimes. I made him a deal. I would go to see him and maybe try if he would go into the water. I told him that it would help the muscles move and strengthen them. "Will you go with me so I do not drown?" I was to have finished but I knew how important the water was so agreed. I put out a hand and he shook it. "I can wear my legging if I want so what do I do first." I wondered why the leggings were so important. I suggested he try without first and then with so he could decide which were best Steve thought for a moment and agreed. He said he needed help with taking them off. Of course I offered to help, as it was to be just him and me. It was strange to un-clasp the leather clips at the back of his callipers. I slid from my chair and dropped to the floor. I placed his callipers on my seat and invited him down to sit next to me. Slowly he did and we sat with our feet in the water getting our bodies acclimatised to the temperature. I asked Steve "Right you first or me? Call me Donny." His face I thought changed slightly as a small smile escaped. ""You first I don't know what to do." I looked around and with no one watching slid in. The water helped me balance so that I could hold onto Steve. As if in slow motion he entered the water clasping on my arms with great strength. One then suddenly reached for the wall and Steve was in. I spoke gently holding firmly as I lifted the limp legs out straight. He was lying on his back head resting in the water. With gentle movements I moved backward taking Steve with me. I hoped my balance did not give me away because I have heard of children getting a shock after they had built up enough courage to enter the water. They never do it again. I spoke gently to Steve and asked all about him. "My name is Steve Fox. I am almost 12 I live with my mum who is a nurse at the old people's home. I call my chair Pontiac because I like Pontiac's I have been in my Pontiac for almost a year. I fell out of a tree and have not been able to walk since then. The doctor says its psychosomatic but I don't know what that means. I have lost a lot of my friends and I hate swimming because I cannot swim." This is my life in Three minutes. That's what I thought not what was said. "Please don't let me go will you?" I whispered to Steve, "I have not been holding you for some time Steve you are floating and very safe. Little ripples went through the water and I calmed him down. I saw a lady looking at us in the water and assumed it was his mum. "Sorry Mrs Fox I don't know where Steve is I will try to get him in the water next time." She laughed, "I think your colleague has managed where we have all failed." I whispered to Steve that mum was watching so I would swim away, well flop away and she would see him floating. I moved away and raised my arm to the physiotherapist not to move. Steve's mum grabbed his arm and they watched as I suggested to Steve that if he moved his arms gently he might move. Confidence built he did and after a few movements he reached the side and still on his back looked up into mums eyes. "Hi Mum." She had the first sign of tears in her eyes so it was clear that she was proud of her son. Steve was helped out. Mum was over the moon. I was so please for the little lad. As I got out making my way to the chair no one bothered to look at me I was pleased about that. I was in a way feeling embarrassed for the very first time. I put my towel around me and wanted to leave but the shout of "Donny." Followed by a wheelchair travelling a top speed brought me to a dead stop. "Where you going?" "I am going to get changed" Steve grabbed my arm saying his mum wanted to meet me. The physiotherapist patted my back as he went off and Mrs Fox came towards me her hand stretched out in front. It was not long before she was saying thanks and how great this was, you get the idea. After the obligatory "It was my pleasure." I was also surprised to see Steve had yet to put the callipers on. I was reminded that I had promised to see him race in his wheelchair. I agreed asking when it was. He was going to race on Saturday. Oh Steve dearest I have to work this Saturday so I am sorry you cannot go. His face dropped. This was something very important. Now this sort of thing don't happen often because I was a loner at sports myself but I knew how important it was so "If it would help I will keep an eye on Steve while you work my house is less than half a mile from the sports track." This was rushing things but I did make a promise. I gave her my number and shook both their hands; I then made my way to changing rooms. I got out to wait for the mini bus but Mrs fox was waiting. Steve had persuaded her. She would drop Steve off at my house on Saturday morning. She would call before then to talk over any other details. It was sorted. I had opened my mouth and I was now a child minder. That evening I went to the corner shop with speed. Not for spirits of any kind but cleaning liquids, not to drink, yes I had decided to clean everything from beginning to end top to bottom, oh anyway you want to put it. I wrapped dusters around my knees and bottom so that I could clean as I dusted. I sprayed and cleaned then mopped and scrubbed. I even washed all my clothes and placed a clean pile on the chair next to the bed ready for the morning. It is remarkable what a small amount of encouragement can do. That evening I called Mrs Fox, Susan as I was told to use and invited her and Steve to tea. I bet you are expecting to hear about my fight with the cooker in making a five-course meal, you are wrong. I can do a mean meatballs and rice when I try, so did that. Susan was impressed with the way I had the house set up. It made it easier for Steve to get about and allowed Susan to relax because Steve could get about himself. She told me all about Steve's accident and how it had turned their lives upside down. Husband had died earlier in the year so it had been hard. The old persons home was the job to keep them going. Her shift would need to be changed soon so she was looking for another job, as she could not afford to give up work. Steve's treatment was so expensive. I knew that after all I had been getting it for three years. I told her that I have most of my time free so offered to help as best I could. Well time past very pleasantly and when it was over I wished it had been longer. I said my goodbyes and arrangements were made for Saturday. I met Steve just as Mum dropped him and his bag off. He showed me his racing chair. It was normal really except the front wheels extended and moved inwards. It was quite impressive. Steve had to change but needed help. I went to a room and we were given a key to a locked smaller room. We could change our things in there. I helped with the callipers then sorted out his tee shirt and pads. He needed help with his trousers because his racing suit was an all in one piece. I helped with the button and Steve did the zip. He lifter up using the armrests and his arms and I lowered his trousers. Steve was there now minus everything except his briefs. As I slowly pulled on his suit I noticed the front of his briefs bulge. I smiled realising that he had an erection. I tried hard but could not take my eyes off It." that happens all the time and its even worse with the tight suit on." I smiled trying to explain that it was normal even admitting that it happens to me. I was not in the position of telling everybody but this seemed appropriate. We did with a lot of pulling and squeezing get Steve into the suit. I placed the callipers over his legs. I did not mean to feel his legs but could not help myself. Helmet on he was ready. He asked me for a ride to his racer so did not think anything about it. He held on so tight that whenever we went over a small bump his bottom ground into me. It was me who started to get the erection. "Donny I see what you mean now I thought it was only ever me who got all hard but you do as well just like you said." I managed to get him strapped in and was an enthusiastic member of the crowd cheering as the boys went round. Steve never won but was very good. All he needed was more practice. It was quite a pleasant way to spend the morning. After helping Steve get changed we made our way back to my home. It was almost midday so Steve called his mum while I prepared something to eat. Susan wanted me. "Oh Donny something has come up. A member of staff has been taken ill I have been asked if I want to cover her shift. I would but its Steve." I rubbished her reasoning and told her to go ahead. She explained it was the night shift. I saw her problem. "Well I have two spare rooms Steve can use one of them. I will sort food out for him. You do what you like but of course it's down to you. "I have asked Steve and he does not mind. The only thing is he has to have a sleeping draft ever night it's a long way to get to our home." "Don't worry I have a pill that I can break up small if he needs it. "The problem was sorted I got the rest of the details and that was that. Steve and I ate then he sat with me a while. Most of the afternoon we chatted and when I noticed it was six I made us a light supper. I took Steve to the bathroom and showed him how the bath cabinet worked. I helped with the callipers as usual. The shirt and trousers I took and said I would wash and dry them for the morning. Not worrying or blushing he asked me to wash his pants as well. He lifted up and I slid them down. He sat in the cabinet while the water splashed about him. I got the clothes going so that they would be clean and fresh for the morning. When I returned with a shirt and tee shirt both mine I could see through the frosted glass that Steve was spending a bit more time than usual washing his groin except he was not washing. I opened the top of the glass to see Steve with his back to the wall eyes closed fingers clasped around his penis pumping quickly. "Are you alright?" Steve's reaction was so strange. He was not angry he was scared to have been seen. "Sorry I did not mean to do it please don't tell my mum. I know she will go mad." I did not dare laugh. But I stroke his wet hair and told him everybody does it. Its best done in private but every now and again someone accidentally catches you doing that." I closed the door and went to get a towel. As soon as I had got back Steve had opened the door and was waiting for me. I placed a towel upon my lap and lifted him onto it. I dried him thoroughly. I used talcum powder to dry the patches hardest to reach. Steve enjoyed that, he chose a shirt and it fitted quite well. Steve looked nice and clean as I changed for bed. I did have pyjamas. He was jealous because I had Donald duck on mine and he wanted them. I made a hot drink helped him to bed then went to my room hoping to sleep quickly after the days activities. It was after I had been in bed for a while that I heard movement. I turned on my light to see Steve coming through the door. "I cannot sleep I have not had my medicine." I told him the medicine was in his hot drink. "Can I come sleep with you please?" I thought long and hard but agreed to his request. Steve managed to slide into bed and cuddle up close. I managed to stroke his hair until he seemed to relax. Steve managed to get right up close and just as I was falling asleep I found my hand on his back. It had gone under his shirt and was stroking as I had his hair. As it reached the lower part my fingers came into contact with his bottom. The powder had made it silky smooth. I turned on my side to look at him but continued to stroke his back. I opened his shirt by undoing the six buttons that were still closed. I gently slipped the shirt over his shoulders. I had never thought of sex in ages. My sport was more important. I was there with this boy virtually naked. It was clear in my mind that I had to be like him so removed my top. When our bodies touched it was like electricity. I was not sure if Steve knew what was happening but as he reached forwards our lips touched very awkwardly. I never knew why but I was happy to kiss him while I could feel his erection grow bigger and bigger as it touched my hand. Steve was responding now. His hands were in contact with my body. He was shaking his voice whispered that he was scared. I had to tell him that I was scared to so he would not worry as much. I was not sure what made me happy. Was it his touch? My touch? His almost naked body, perhaps a combination of them all. I was beginning to get aroused. I had the erection I had before. I wondered long and deep as to why Steve had given me the feelings to bring on the erection. I could feel his body give in to my touch and our sexual expressions grew in intensity. Being dark my hands moved gently up and down Steve's body. As my lips parted from his. I was sure that he did not want me to stop. I had never been in this position before; I had never had such powerful feelings for a boy as I had at this time. Moving back the cover I could feel the heat that radiated from him. My lips started to cover his nakedness from the neck taking a slow but gentle meander along every curve. His nipples, ever so small, soon became excited with the touch of my flickering tongue. Hands covering parts of his body yet to reach I continued with the labours of kissing and licking. I managed every part even each toe did not go amiss. I never thought that I needed to stop or that Steve would or was objecting in any way, in fact I could feel him move in a certain way when I did something he enjoyed. I remember the moment when I took a breath and lay by his side. I thought I could see him looking at me but being dark I could not be sure. Using the back of my hand I worked my way down his chest until I found his penis. With a swift turn I was able to hold it and kiss the tip while the skin was pulled back. I could feel the small opening being pushed forwards. My mouth was very eager to take it in. I never thought a boy could generate the sensations I was feeling. I moved back up to ask Steve if things were all right. I never got to ask because Steve managed to turn sideways until we were against each other kissing harder than before. We were both in a position now where our lust was taking over. No more words had been said at all. If I had not had the feeling that boys should not do this to me things would seem very normal, well two people who like each other find the moment when like turns to love. Our arms twisted around each other like Creeping Ivy. Our lips pushed hard against each other's. Slowly I did pull back to hold his face in each hand. The small cheeks nestled into my palms and the kiss became more intense. "I love you!" The first words. They had come from me. I pulled the shirt from under him allowing me for the first time to connect with the sweet smooth naked body of a boy who I had only known for forty-eight hours. I wondered when I kissed him with passion and stroked his legs if he was able to feel it. I had kissed the legs and inner thighs but could not tell if the sensations I could feel were the same as his. It was clear he was enjoying my touches so much so that I was able to use my hand in a more erotic manner. I grasped his penis and used my tongue to poke his balls. No bigger than very small eggs they moved at will when the pressure got to them. I was pushing the skin back and forth by now and allowing the tongue to come into contact with the tip. My salvia was covering the head making the skin easier to slide up and down. I could feel the ridge of his penis pass back and forth between my lips. Although I had never done this sort of thing before it became clear that it was easy and something that was right to do. Close up I rubbed Steve until I could feel some sort of shaking so stopped because I was sure that I knew what would happen. No matter what we did now the signals had been given not to stop. I caressed him and kissed at greater speed. The pressure began mounting. His penis like my own was erect and upright. This time the touch would not stop. With gentle friction and movement I allowed a gentle groan to pass by the kiss and echo through me. Small amounts of sweat had started to form and I was feeling something close to euphoria. After almost an hour of being in pure happiness. I felt the twitch that could only mean one thing. Steve was about to cum. I slowed right down so that he could feel every sensation as it flashed through him. He did that alright. One vast groan that came from his feet escaped him and I could feel the tremors through his penis until a crescendo of pleasure went through his whole body. When this happened and his body crushed mine I came also but I covered us in great squirts of the white seed of excitement. Steve managed a drip the size of a dewdrop that sat upon my finger until we both came to rest. We managed to sleep for the rest of the night. I awoke early thinking how funny it would be if Steve told his mum about the new sleeping draft I had and what it consisted of. I knew what Susan's reactions would have been so did not bother to mention to Steve when he awoke anything. No need at all he brought it up and how great it made him feel. Like many people I am sure I was a bit panicky but Steve's offer to keep it between us was gratefully accepted. I saw his body in the light and was grateful to have been given such a precious thing to have. The white crust that had formed upon us had to be cleaned so we both managed a bath together. If you have never kissed under a spray of water do try. For me it was just an added extra piece of our love. Why did I find the love of a boy so nice? I thought a lot about it but I always thought about the moment when Steve shuddered to a climax and his whole body became tender and exciting to touch. For the first time his whole body was alive again. Of course it was too much to expect that he would jump up and down with joy, but it would have been something very new to him as it was I. Susan was very tired so I offered to cook a meal for her and Steve. She could sleep and we would stay together. Her tiredness made things easy. She agreed and arranged to come join her son and I at 5pm. Now before the thought of a meal better than meatballs Steve had decided to offer to cook so we had plenty of time to get ready. We did spend most of the day talking about how most people were better off than we were. Most disabled people at first felt this and have a lot of anger towards some able bodied people. I had felt bad for a long time but being with Steve made things different. It took an hour before Steve got around to asking about last night. It was a shock when he asked, " Why did we do that last night?" I asked him if he enjoyed it and no time was needed to think on his part because an immediate response of yes came out. Steve was very close, after all we had only just finished our deep conversation about what was wrong with the world and here I was making another move on a boy who made my whole body shiver. I stroked his head and pulled him close. The strangest part for me was the thought that he could not run away. Two hours ago we had been naked in bed. We both were heading that way again. Steve held tight while I gave him a ride to the bedroom. I enjoyed undressing him. Laying there looking at me happy as I pulled down his briefs. The early sight of his penis already erect pleased me. Here I was again feeling something that I knew most would know was wrong. I asked Steve to help me undress. I know he could not move well but his eagerness to get as much enjoyment out of our time together surprised even me. Steve's small fingers were able to take the clothing from me until both naked we scrambled into each other's arms. It seemed so normal to be there with each other this day. Holding hands Steve managed to climb on top of me so that we could kiss while we looked in each other's eyes. I loved the smooth skin he had but being this was still new I did not know what to do next. It looked easy. I stroked his hair; it was soft, short and felt wonderful against my hands. I wanted to see more of Steve this morning. As he slid from me I was pleased to feel the erection against my skin. He was stroking mine so we both knew just what we wanted and also that we were both happy to give it to each other. The skin around the head of his penis slid right back to show the dark coloured head. I made every effort to move to it so that I could show Steve that my lips would give him vast amounts of pleasure. As I reached him he gasped as I sucked in on the head. My fingers played with his balls forcing them to slide side to side while I sucked on his small tool of joy. I could see a few small hairs had started to grow. My fingers managed to circle them, which I hoped, would give him as much pleasure as he was giving me. After we both had spent time exploring each other the time came for us both to assist the other in the climax to our love making that morning. At almost the same time we started to rub each other until heavy breathing aside I climaxed covering his body and mine in the seeds of happiness. Steve followed with a groan as he had the night before but his kiss that followed was more passionate that I remembered. His drips of sperm mingled with mine, the sexual enjoyment had subsided. We were both very wet and had each hugged into one another. I wondered if this was what Steve needed or it was an outlet for both us cripples. We hugged for a while then Steve got up and went to the bathroom bringing a cloth and towel back to clean us both up. He took a swift run to replace the things we had used and decided that we would carry on with a cuddle. Our naked bodies together made us very sleepy so a nap entwined, skin against skin was a good idea. STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shook him hard. STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His head turned. I kissed him full on the lips and said, "You walked, You Walked." I grabbed his softened penis and he jumped of the bed and stood looking at me with the face that said "What did you do that for? It hurt." I asked him to get my shorts from the chair on the other side of the room. He walked all the way and only realised as I shouted again to him. His stance was ridged and he looked at his toes wriggling against the bedroom carpet. I could see he was crying but I could not get to him. I called and got him to come to me. After a great deal of crying, by both of us, we called mum and got her out of bed. Not telling her what was wrong I pleaded for her to come over. Well putting it like that she just dropped everything and came. It was a pleasure to dress my walking friend and as Susan got out of the car Steve ran to her. She was crying now also. No explanations were needed she was over the moon. Well they spent the rest of the day together and I got a call saying thanks and all that. Well Steve still goes to swimming but no callipers or chair. To the track but to run and no chair. I still see him. We still have fun together in and out of bed. I love Steve but do not know what made him walk perhaps it was that he found his true self. On one day we were ... ah maybe another story in that. Well that's that for now Any comments to shaksbeer@ureach.com All flames will be ignored but thanks for reading There are more stories in the WHEELCHAIR let me know if I need to keep writing...
