All rights reserved. On Straight and Narrow - The Story of Max & Chris -- # 3: The Haunted Past NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: EROTICA I have to surrender at this point. I have been struggling for 4 days of which twice I was up for 48 hours straight and I still feel it's a giant mess. Even though it is still early, the next 3 to 4 installments/chapters are absolutely vital to the story. Much of it is erotic, much is also NOT erotic, and there is still something that I don't even know if the reader will be able to comprehend! Damn I have to keep things true to these characters or there simply isn't any point in telling this as far as I am concerned. To give you some understanding, what started out as an explosive 3rd installment of 25-35 pages, suddenly grew to an unwieldy 45-50 and is now well over 100 with no end in sight. At that point I gave up and scrapped the whole fucking thing and went back scratch to segment the story block style and try to contain it as best as I could. From now on I will try to forewarn readers if there is EROTICA (in this installment it's everywhere see the bold letters up top), where there isn't any STORYBOARD, and where there is symbolism as described as FICTION because there was literally no other earthly way to describe what happened. Let me give you an example; have you ever been on a dark LSD / MUSHROOM / COCAINE freaked out sexual encounter? How would you go about describing that to readers, particularly when the main characters are most certainly not in their right minds, if you don't want to break too many taboos let alone submission guidelines? I hope you see my nightmare. We are about to go down a long slippery downhill slide for Max & Chris and while I completely want to bring you along for the ride I am not totally certain how I can successfully do so and remain true to character. Nevertheless here we go and I hope I don't disappoint too many of you badly. Please forgive the editing, but I am feeling rushed to just get something out. If anyone is volunteering for proof reading please contact me. One final comment: Please don't forget the footnotes at the bottom of the story. Most of the time it doesn't hurt if you want to jump to the footnotes first, because it may actually give you some insight into the storyline as you read. Also where needed I am starting the stories out with brief descriptions of past plots, current scenes, current character development when and where I feel it is needed. Many readers may find that a waste of space, but I didn't want to bury all that stuff in the juicier dialog because then I was afraid of making the storyline drag. You will know where the story begins when you see the words: The story begins... Thank you, MAX, Mailto:maxborren@att.net Events up till now: Chris has lost his family now; rejected by his mother, beaten and outcast by his abusive father. Max has taken Chris in and given him a home but he fears he might again misuse Chris' trust in him to satisfy his constant burning desires for something more than Chris says he is able to give Max -- at least willingly. Max is worried because he knows Chris is hiding one or more dark secrets. Unknown to Chris is the deep dark past Max has buried too. That particular point will not be addressed in this installment, in fact not until much later though it may be too late by then. The current state of things: Chris has only recently moved in with Max. Max rents a large 3 bedroom apartment in an upscale urban/suburban area in Texas. The apartment is on the second floor and includes a formal dining room, 2 private balconies, 2 ˝ baths, a living area and game room / study besides a large kitchen and has access to a golf course, private pools and tennis courts. We don't want to reveal the actual location for privacy sake, but there are really only 4 possibilities in Texas -- so take your pick. Chris is beginning to like dressing up in Western Style clothing now -- at least from time to time, so this may help you pin down a better location (despite common belief real dressed up cowboys aren't found everywhere in Texas). Chris, with Max's help, has been listed as Max's ward for legal purposes. This has allowed Chris the opportunity to move his school records both locally and from out of state to his new High School in this upscale suburban area. Chris is still identified as the child of his biological parents, but Max has `guardian' status now which legally permits Chris to attend school in such rich surroundings. Max was able to obtain the guardianship of Chris because of his connections to legal console and because he used the attack on Chris by his biological father and the father's friends to bring the threat of possible criminal abuse charges against the man. Chris' mother no longer wants to maintain any further relationship with her son. At this time it appears that the father likewise no longer cares for any form of ongoing relationship with his son. About the main characters: Chris is worried that he won't fit in with his new wealthy peers, but Max has attempted to alleviate this by repeatedly taking Chris shopping at only the better local stores and to instruct Chris in how to socialize with people from a more affluent background. Chris now wears mostly designer clothing and Western Wear. At the beginning of summer when Chris moved in he successfully completed his enrollment in his new high school (he managed that by leaving Max alone in bed one morning). He is starting his junior year now and will turn 17 during the fall semester. Max has spent a lot of his free time coaching Chris on how to blend into the new affluent school as seamlessly as possible. Chris is most comfortable with blue collar working people and he has a strong work ethic. Chris is often uncertain of himself and is uncomfortable when placed in settings that he believes are outside his ability to relate (for example extremely wealthy people). Chris is really 100 % straight when it comes to his sexual preference -- yet because of childhood experiences he understands some basic needs and urges that seem to cross sexual lines -- he chooses not to act on those and believes he understands why. Chris is still an outgoing young man who can be explosively violent if pushed into an untenable situation. At the same time Chris is kind hearted, warm, shy around new people or unfamiliar settings and can be both very opinionated and yet open to new ideas. Chris has always felt abandoned by his family and desperately needs and craves the love and affection that only a family support structure can offer. Chris can often suffer from very low self esteem despite the fact that virtually everyone who meets him is mesmerized by the boy's almost exotic good looks, his excessively athletic build and his almost intoxicating charm. Chris has the power to move masses and yet he has no desire nor does he feel any need to do so. Chris is 5 feet 11 inches tall. Chris will be 17 in a few months. Chris is very well endowed sexually although specifics are somewhat vague because no one has ever really had a bird's-eye view to this point (you can't trust Max's viewpoint here because he is infatuated with the boy). Chris has actually been fairly unsuccessful in his relationships with girls, but this is most likely due to the low self image previously noted although that has slowly begun to improve in recent months. On the other hand Chris easily forms friendships with his male companions and is often seen as a leader in that role -- although this is a more recent development in the last few years. Chris has a near magnetic attraction from men seeking intimate male relationships, but Chris is absolutely clueless about this talent -- and wouldn't want it even if he understood it. Max works in the Technology Trade sector with a Bachelor's degree in Technology Trade and Marketing. Max's family background was mostly from the upper middle class and he has lived in the West, the Central US, the South and the North Central US as well. Max is at home with people from most any background although he is sometimes repulsed by backwoods people since his own older family roots came from poor Southern relations. Max is extremely outgoing and until recently he was very well poised, successful and had no doubts about his capabilities or his interests. Max is of better than average height at just over 6 feet. Max is 23. Compared to Chris he is of a lankier / thin frame and while not nearly as physically gifted as Chris Max is still very healthy and has been labeled unusually strong for his thin size by some intimate friends. Max is always seeking a deeper connection with all those he associates closely with. Max tends to like to control others in his surroundings and was labeled by some friends during college as a manipulator -- although most meant that in a humorous way. Max was always one to work more behind the scenes in the past. The presence of Chris has forced Max to realize that he has always had strong feelings for men both sexually and emotionally and tended toward indifference toward woman in intimate situations. This has recently destabilized Max's self image because in the past he was always very successful in his relationship with woman -- in fact he often felt too successful since this constantly led toward serious deep feelings of attachment in the women he dated, while Max always desired a more open carefree relationship (he just wanted to have fun). Max is extremely protective of his personal friendships and is strongly empathic, and sympathetic -- almost to the point self injury. Max tends to be a perfectionist and sees personal weakness as failure in life. The belief that he has been fighting hidden urges his entire life has caused Max to overreact and now he often seeks to satisfy those urges frequently at the exclusion of all other needs and interests. Max's work productivity on the job has suffered because of this and is beginning to see his desires as only a corrupting force in his life. On the other hand Max's recent sexual exploits have allowed developing abilities and capabilities that have enthralled some from Max's inner sexual circle. Unfortunately this avails Max little help because he sees Chris as his true soul mate and the only solution for his constant heartache. At this time Max is totally devoted to Chris and yet believes he is also the greatest threat to Chris' long-term well being. This is at the center of the reason for Max's current inability to function well. The story begins... "Chris!" "Chris are you home?" Where the hell did that kid run off to now? (laughing -- heard faintly in the distance) "Who the hell could that be?" Max starts walking toward the private balcony of the living area. Now he hears the laughing -- it's coming from the pool... "Hey Christopher, what the hell are you doing down there man?" "Hey Max! Jason, Ted and Emily dropped by for swim. That's Ok isn't it?" he said. Sighting the group of extremely attractive young people and lacking understanding Max turns around and makes a bee line for pool side. "No, no that's not a problem, Chris, but please remember to lock up the apartment when you're down here", Max says slightly out of breath from the jog downstairs. "You know there's a lot of expensive stuff upstairs and if we get robbed our renter's insurance rates will go up. You know I am not made of gold bars, bubba, so you have to watch out for that kind of stuff." "Hello Mr. Borren, sir! I'm Jason" said the strapping 6 feet 2 black haired blue eyed (hard to see behind the sunglasses) tanned god in the skimpy Speedos with a swimmer's physique and a tan most Hollywood actors and actresses would have envied. Max had to deliberately pull his eyes away from this young man's crotch because his flaccid 12 inch penis (or so it appeared from the very swim trunks) left absolutely nothing to the imagination -- except for the fact that his testicles seemed to be missing from the picture and the young man kept sliding in his seat several times as if he couldn't get comfortable. Jason also spent a lot of time nodding at Chris from behind his $300 sunglasses. Max immediately thinks to himself `trouble'. "Hello Jason, and I'd guess that would make you Ted and of course the beautiful Emily?" Max managed to steer his eyes to the other handsome sandy blonde haired boy with the build of a gymnast or maybe a track and field star. He guessed his height at around 5 feet 9 or 10 with a good 155 lbs. of very solid muscles all around. The boy's eyes appeared to be hazel in color. For some reason Ted kept trying to get Jason's attention and seemed to be frowning at him. His eyes fell to Emily who was an extremely well poised young woman -- appearing more like 18 or 19 with bright green eyes and dishwater blonde hair. She appeared to be about average height for a teenaged girl and was very well endowed with a narrow waist and a coke bottle figure. A repeated scan of Ted and Emily gave Max and idea. "Are you two related?" Max inquired. "Yes, sir, Mr. Borren." Emily replied. "Ted is my first cousin." "No, no, really, Emily please just call me Max. I'm only 7 years older than Christopher here and so most of you too I would assume?" He looked again at Emily for guidance, "I am a senior, Mr... Max I mean. I'll turn 18 in 5 months". "Well congratulations, Chris, your running around with only upper classmen now I see. Well done!" Max beamed down at his protégé. "And how did you accomplish this before the school year even started, may I ask?" "Actually I ran into Emily at school when I went to register several weeks ago. Emily was nice enough to give me directions and then before I left we bumped into each other again in the hallway and she offered to give me her phone number in case I had any questions about school before it starts next week." Chris beamed back that radiant smile to Max knowing full well that this was exactly the kind of interaction Max had hoped Chris would develop on his own. "Actually, Max, I am vice president of the student counsel and also a member of the pep squad for team athletics. When some of our coaches found out about Chris' sports background they asked me to see if I couldn't convince Chris to try out early for the team prior to next week's school kick off" Emily looked a little shy in her oration to Max, which meant that if Max had to guess he would bet $100 that Emily actually overheard the coaches and office staff talking about Chris' background right after he walked in with his transfer paperwork. Most likely Emily then `volunteered' to try and help bring Chris into the fold and also to learn as much about the boy as she possibly could before any of the other girls at school had the chance. Max debated how best to proceed since he was uncertain of exactly where Emily's interests in Chris lay. Max winked at Emily and said "I think I understand your motivation completely young lady and I want to personally thank you for helping my ward here get a leg up so to speak on any competition before the school year starts. Chris can't help but benefit from any kind instructions or directions such a charming young woman as you might care to share with him. Please feel free to come to our home anytime that you want to, especially if you think that Chris needs any other special instructions regarding how to stay ahead of things in school" Max made certain to put the emphasis on the word `special' and noticed that Emily definitely seemed to pick up on his hint. That told Max that Emily was not opposed to a more intimate relationship with Chris even though he was about a year younger than her. The pretty young blonde just bobbed her head back at Max, clearly she knew she was being made to feel special and appreciated the fact that Chris' family wanted her to feel welcome -- also she mostly understood that she had Max's approval to pursue Chris to her heart's content. Max had actually had a lot of concerns about whether or not families with children from his apartment complex would be considered to be acceptable companions to some of the wealthier residents of the area. "May I ask where you young people live?" asked Max. "Yes sir, Mr. Borren, sir. The 3 of us live over in the Woodhaven Hills community about 12 minutes west of the school" replied Ted. Oh, thought Max that's very good indeed for Chris -- those homes all top out at around 2-3 million dollars each in that subdivision. "Well you know that you are all welcome anytime here at the gym, the pools, the clubhouse or golf course, just let Chris know that you're planning on stopping by and stay as long as you like" Max directed that to each of the 3 other students. There was a private club at Woodhaven Hills, but the facilities there tended to be reserved for the senior members, the parents, with less offered on an ongoing basis for the younger members like high school aged children. However he had no illusions that any of the three really required the use of their facilities, regardless of how well managed and tailored such amenities were. No these three young people were strictly interested in only one thing -- and that was trying to find out everything they could about Chris, who he was, where he was from, how much money his family had, etc. No, this looked like the school's student version of the welcome wagon -- and Max needed to guide Chris quickly over any obstacles this might present. "Christopher could I borrow you from your new friends for just a moment please?" Max then started walking toward the apartment door. Chris quickly caught up to him but Max just nodded his head lightly to indicate that Chris should keep silent until they were well out of earshot first. Once upstairs and inside the door, Max smiled broadly at Chris who pushed the door closed and turned toward his friend. Max could tell Chris wanted to speak first. "Well Chris, what do you think?" he asked. "Wow Max, I really was almost speechless when Emily called me and she asked if she and Ted and Jason could drop by." Chris gushed. "So swimming was your idea?" Max asked. "No actually it was Jason that said it was too warm for anything else and asked if they could all come over and go for a swim with me here at the apartment" Chris still beamed at his newfound success. "Hmmm..." Max walked back over to the glass doors to the balcony off the living area -- So Emily was with Ted and Jason when she called that indicated to Max that Jason was very close to Ted or Emily or both. "Chris would you come here for a minute, please". Chris walked over to the balcony door. "Please stay just out of sight and look down to your new friends and tell me what you see if you don't mind". Chris carefully looked through the glass doors and down toward the pool. Emily was writing something down in the little notebook he saw her walk in with. Ted and Jason on the other hand were on the other side of the pool and Ted seemed to be looking down at Jason and shaking his head back and forth while repeatedly jabbing his finger down at Jason from time to time. "I don't know -- what am I suppose to be looking for? It seems like Ted might be upset with Jason about something and Emily is just scribbling in her little book". Max walked up behind Chris and put his arm over his shoulder, which sent a quiver through ever inch of Max's body, and then began to point in various directions toward the group at the pool. "This is what I saw that you may have missed. Did you happen to notice any other times when Emily was writing in her book?" Chris thought about it briefly and said, "When they first arrived Emily asked a lot of questions about my past and your business and then she tried to change the subject to something about trust funds. I really didn't feel like talking about my past -- and you told me to never give any specific answers if someone asked about that, just to say that our family came from old money in the country's older industrial northern sectors. I didn't understand anything about trust funds and changed the subject. I told her I had never really taken any interest in your business dealings other than that it was in Technology and Global Marketing. Was that all correct?" Chris asked. Max patted the boy on the back and gave him a light hug, "You did very well, Chris, very well indeed. That didn't really give her anything solid to go on, but at least she won't feel you are evading her questions. Now what do you think about the younger boys -- Jason and Ted?" Chris looked back down at the boys that were in his same class he was starting and then said "I feel very relaxed with Jason I guess, but for some reason Ted seems a little nervous and agitated to me", "Ok, Chris, we obviously need to hone your people skills or you are going to get into a lot of trouble very easily with these more affluent young people. Did you notice anything strange about Jason -- at least physically?" Chris looked back down at the young man again, obviously he was in some form of athletics, but not a sport that flashed any insight into Chris' brain at that moment, "No Max, I think they are both in some kind of sports, but other than that Jason was moving a lot and like I said Ted appeared to be a little agitated". "Ok, look down at Jason again right now. What's different than it was a few minutes ago? Especially look at his swimming trunks." Chris tried his best to look for whatever Max had picked up on but nothing seemed to be any different that he could notice. It didn't help that Chris was totally uninterested in any boy's genitals or butt so staring at another boy's swim trunks wasn't something he was comfortable doing. Being a quick learner and picking up on Max's direction in his questions, Chris took a longer look at the young man's trunks. Suddenly Jason grabbed at his crotch and seemed to readjust himself quickly -- that must have been hurting him he thought. When he moved his hand away Chris now noticed that Jason seemed to have a sizable set of balls at the bottom of his trunks with a dick that now appeared maybe 9 or 10 inches long and while he was smiling madly at Ted Jason's penis seemed to start swelling just while Chris was watching it, it didn't appear to be too thick and certainly not as thick and long as Chris' penis was. Ted was still yelling at Jason. Did Jason like Ted yelling at him? "I don't understand, but it looks like Jason's got a pretty nice sized dick that I never noticed before and he also has some pretty good sized balls too. But what does that matter, Max?" "I hate to tell you this Chrisy, but that boy, Jason, was watching your tight ass most of the time you were visiting down there with him. He was also watching to see if you were looking back at him. Some boys can push their testicles between their legs at times especially with certain types of tight swim suits like that pair of Speedos the boy has on or even a pair of tight underwear. The discomfort of his crushed balls helped him to prevent becoming erect even as he was intensely watching you to see if you noticed him in turn. Some young men would have immediately seen that Jason was hiding his testicles and either commented on it or simply stared at the boy. Either way it would have answered a question or two for Jason -- one that's obviously been bothering him since he saw you walk out there" Chris got a very disturbed look on his face -- he obviously didn't appreciate this side of his friends character. "Sorry it's a talent I managed to pick up in the last few months while going around a certain set of clubs in the area" Max admitted. "I still don't get it, Maxi" Chris stated. Max just shook his head -- if Chris didn't start learning to read boys and girls better as well as men and women he was most certainly in for a rough time in the type of school environment he was going to start next week. "Chris, Jason wants to have sex with you, but Ted is apparently already having sex with Jason and on the one hand doesn't feel like sharing his friend with you. But Ted is torn between envy of you and also feeling some desire towards you. Unlike Jason, Ted isn't confident that he could either compete with you or satisfy you. Jason wants to know if you can satisfy him or if he'd rather see you use him instead. Oh, and while we are on the subject of Jason, I think he may also be having sexual relations with Emily since he is certainly a well included member to their family. Now do you understand?" Chris' mouth had dropped open with his eyes now as wide as saucers. Max hated being so direct and blunt with the boy -- but Max had always been more involved in the world around him and long ago learned to pick up on physical cues even before he had started to act on his feelings about other men. In fact Max would have picked up on Jason's attraction to Chris even if he hadn't been making the scene of so many gay bars in the area lately. Chris just didn't understand this `guy on guy' stuff. In his old family run-down neighborhood across country sometimes young men might get together for circle jacks at night, especially if there was free beer and no girls around, and occasionally some lone boy or another might convince a younger teen to jack or blow them off if they were really desperate but as far as he knew none of the old neighbor boys were actually lusting for one another; although Chris was starting to wonder if that would have been something he would have been able to figure out on his own anyway. Chris was definitely more naive about a lot of things when compared to Max. While Chris desperately wanted to fit in at this new school he was very uncomfortable about it, especially if it was going to involve learning a lot more about same sex situations and feelings which repulsed the boy. While standing there with Max who kept urging him to think about the other boy's crotch that suddenly caused Chris' thoughts to drift back to his childhood. So much of his younger years were a blank to the young man. Chris imaged much of that was because so many things were bad memories like the regular beatings from his father and he had been trying for years to block them out. Suddenly something clear came back to him; Chris' little dick had begun developing in 2nd grade and even by that time he hated the annual physical exam at his pediatrician's office because every time Chris would get an erection the moment the doctor began pulling down on his waistband. Then while Chris' little penis was always so stiff the doctor would rub his little testicles which eventually caused what Chris thought of as pee pee to leak out of the end of his penis. Around this time doctors always began saying "My you're a big boy aren't you!" Chris never understood this because most of the way through grade school he was much smaller than his classmates. The first time the pee pee was noticed on his penis during an exam the pediatrician dropped his mouth open and began insisting from that point on about always performing a `thorough' and rough exam of the small boy's erect penis after noticing the leaking liquid. He would squeeze the boy's penis shaft from the base all the way to the tip, several times, and then use a Kleenex each time to wipe away all the liquid. Chris thought on a few occasions that he saw the doctor storing the used Kleenex tissues but he wasn't certain of that. His doctor never did anything else, but every year Chris would try and escape before the doctor could exam his penis and testes, but the doctor was always prepared and waiting for the little boy and so he was never able to escape the humiliation. Eventually the family moved to another area locally which caused a school change and Chris then had a new pediatrician for the yearly exams, but the same things just kept happening -- except this doctor had small sterile towels and he just told the boy to clean himself and he didn't take as long to examine his penis that by now was anything but small. Chris couldn't remember exactly when he had changed schools -- something seemed to be blocking that memory a voice in his head shouted an urgent warning. Thinking back about his physical exams once more Chris remembered that even the school nurses always seemed interested in his penis from 2nd grade on -- anytime he got so much as a scratch below the waist or near the top of this thighs -- everyone insisted on looking in his pants and often examining his genitals. On one occasion even the school principal needed to help out the school nurse for some reason during a pelvic exam for a bruise that turned into a pubic exam if such a thing even exists for school children. This always upset Chris and he used to cry himself to sleep often on certain nights because he just wanted to have genitals that were normal like all the other boys at school -- something other people wouldn't notice as much. This was why Chris was terrified of both doctors and nurses not to mention some teachers and principals. "Chris are you with me?" asked Max. Chris remembered where he was and looked up at his friend who was still waiting for his comments about the boys outside. "I'm sorry Maxi, I was just remembering some stuff that happened to me years ago when I was still a little kid. I guess I have mentioned that I hate getting physicals for school each year. When I walked in with the transfer papers they told me that I didn't have a signed physical exam release. Damn I hate doctors! Is there anything you can do to help?" Max said "Sure Chris I think I can locate someone discreet, maybe I'll mention sitting in during your checkup, since I'm your guardian and you are still a minor I have that right. I'm certain that will keep things very brief for you". Max seemed to be reassuring and Chris decided that at this point it wasn't anything Max hadn't already seen more than once and if his appearance could keep the touching to a minimum then Chris was all in favor of that. The thoughts of childhood flashed by again. There was something important there, a face, a kind face and big protective arms. For some reason it reminded Chris of Max. "What is it, bubba?" Max asked while he again placed his arm protectively over Chris' shoulder. When Max had said `bubba' and then touched Chris' shoulder so tenderly that touch along with the brotherly word ignited feelings Chris felt certain he had forgotten many many years ago. Part of his mind shouted at the boy to stop this at once, but another voice echoed in his mind in a familiar pattern that was exactly liked an old old friend who was yet a very young boy. "Ben?" Chris almost shouted. "Ben? Chrisy, whose Ben?" Max whispered. Max obviously didn't want to disturb Chris' train of thought just now. Chris put out his hand on the glass of the balcony door, he felt dizzy, and his breathing became heavy and labored. "Ben?" Chris whispered the name again. "I'm sorry Max, I think Ben was my best friend in one of the grade schools I attended here in Texas" Chris barely managed to choke out the words. "What school, Chris? When was this if you don't mind my asking?" Max again spoke quietly almost pleadingly Chris thought. Why would it matter what I tell Max about grade school the young man argued with himself. Again a single voice in his head that was almost shouting, his own voice, begging Chris to forget, pleading to ignore the past -- the past meant nothing. `Let go.' `You're safe now, don't bring back the danger' the voice echoed in his mind. Chris looked to Max who gave the boy that steadfast smile, encouraging him and then Chris seemed to mention the name of a long forgotten school, but his own words seem to drift in a haze in his mind. "Ben was in my grade, but he was older and I remember being best friends, but something about that isn't safe, Max" Chris explained. "What isn't safe, Chrisy? Can you tell me anything more?" Max is most definitely pleading now. Chris can easily hear the worry in his friend's voice. "Give me a minute Maxi, Ok? Just let me think for a few moments" as Chris walked off a few feet. He hears Max begin to object, but there is silence. Silence except the light sound of Chris' feet drifting across the carpeted living area. Silence and then laughter, the laughing of grade school children. Then it blossoms in his mind's eye and the memories begin flooding back to him. Chris' had, up till last summer, only had 2 voluntary sex acts shared with other boys -- ever in his entire life, not to mention just 2 with girls as well and one with an adult woman, his dad's girlfriend at the time. While in Texas during a long stay with his father, Chris' 5th grade best friend was visiting for a sleepover on a hot summer weekend. Chris' dad had completely passed out earlier in his bedroom and so the 2 boys were completely on their own. The Texas heat (his dad hated spending money on electric bills) was so bad that night that both boys eventually even pulled off their underwear when they could no longer stand the heat. Just lying side by side on the bed with sweat running down their bodies, but the breeze from a small box fan blowing on them felt so cool that they couldn't resist. Ben was Chris' best friend. In fact Ben had been in the same school for years, but he used to be a grade ahead of Chris. The boy was actually a year older and a lot bigger than Chris. Chris tried to remember was it 2nd or 3rd grade when Ben had been away from school. It was either 3rd or early 4th grade year when Ben was back at school but by then he was in Chris' grade. Both boys always recognized each other across the playground, but bigger boys tended to be bullies and picked on Chris often at school especially in the gym or in the bathroom. Chris' next memory is of being in the same class as Ben though he can't seem to remember which semester that was. At some time the boys had become friends and then the next memory is of Ben is of him always in the desk next to Chris. Chris vaguely remembers that after Ben had come back from his absence Chris used to catch Ben staring at him, but Ben would always quickly turn away and Ben never tormented or teased Chris like the other kids did. Chris remembered that after he and Ben started sitting together in class Ben began to become protective of his friend whenever one school bully or another would try and pick fights with the shy boy or to tease him or try to embarrass him. Always small for his age -- at least until his big growth spurt started in 5th grade, Chris was by this time teased constantly and had other children giggling and pointing fingers at him while they laughed. Sometimes bigger boys had confronted Chris in the bathroom and always loved to yank his pants and underwear down around his knees then yell "Freak" and run off before a teacher caught them. Chris understood this was because his penis was too large for a boy his age. He sometimes heard the other children mentioning that his dick was the biggest in school. Of course starting only a few months later Ben would go on to develop one of the largest dicks in his school's student history but at the start of 5th grade Ben's little penis was virtually none existent still with barely 2 inches showing if that much, compared to Chris. The other school boys also had many other comments about Chris' genitals but the boy just tried to block them out but still in the bathroom they laughed and made fun of Chris. By now Chris hated his private parts and was always embarrassed to reveal any part of his naked body in front of anyone. Even at home he didn't like running around with his shirt off, even if only his dad was home, the boy was simply too embarrassed by what was too him his freaky monster body parts. Even his testes were freakishly larger than normal. That night in bed Chris almost fell asleep from the heat, but then he heard Ben gasp. Chris looked down toward the fan at their feet, and then in the moonlight he saw that he had an erection and that it was very noticeable in the moonlight falling in the room. Chris could feel his face turning even hotter and red. Ben surely saw Chris' erection and was shocked and horrified by the ugly freakish thing. Chris just put his hands over his face and started to sob quietly. He didn't want Ben to see him crying but he didn't know anyway to make the erect penis stop being erect and he didn't want his friend to know that he was so upset. Suddenly his penis began to soften and Chris began to stop crying. Then he tried to peek out of his hands to look at Ben and see if Ben was still looking at him. Sure enough the older boy was staring straight at Chris' crotch and his mouth was kind of open in a big `O'. Chris couldn't help himself, he truly began to cry now and it soon became obvious that Ben had noticed. "Hey Krisi, please stop crying, can you tell me what's the matter?" Ben reached over and put his big arm around the much smaller boy and tried to reassure him, but it was obvious that Ben was uncomfortable and didn't know how to help the little boy. Ben had a funny way of saying his pet name for Chris. He accentuated a hard K sound with a big Y sound at the end. Chris knew it was part of how Ben displayed his friendship toward Chris, but it also made Chris think that instead of seeing Chris as an equal classmate Ben just thought of him as a little boy who needed a big boy's protection. Chris just cried harder and started to turn away from Ben. "Come on Krisi, I'm sorry, I didn't know looking at you like that would make you cry." Oh `NO' Ben had realized that Chris saw him looking at his freaky penis! Chris jumped out of the bed and ran to the far corner of the room, crouching down into the corner trying to become invisible to the much larger boy and to hide his freakish genitals, but he couldn't stop his frantic crying now. "Oh come on, Krisi, I said I was sorry. Please don't be mad at me. I would never ever hurt you. You now that." Chris was shaking. His whole world had become a nightmare even his best friend just thought he was a freak and a cry baby. Suddenly Ben's big arms wrapped around the much smaller boy. "Krisi -- you stop this right now!" Ben said in a very stern voice. Chris didn't know what to do. The other boy was so big and so strong. Chris had never realized just how much bigger and stronger Ben was until now. No wonder all the other boys never touched Chris when Ben was around! Ben had one arm under Chris' butt and legs and the other behind his neck. As easily as the boys might pick up a baby puppy Ben rolled Chris into his lap as he squatted on the floor. In one gentle easy motion the bigger boy lifted his small naked friend up in his arms and without even losing a single breath carried the little boy back to the bed and gently laid him down on the soft mattress. Ben took his arms out from under his little naked friend and in the dim light Chris could see Ben put on a big smile. The bigger boy took one huge hand and stretched it out and with his large fingers he wiped the tears off the smaller boy's face and pulled the bedraggled bangs out of his eyes. Chris just lay there mesmerized by the gentleness of his big friend. Why was Ben being so nice to a freak like Chris? "I'm really sorry Krisi, I know that you don't like people looking at your penis. I figured that out in school a long time ago and so I make certain not to look during school like most of the other boys do. But you gotta understand, I just couldn't help myself. I mean mine's smaller than most of the other boys at school even though I'm so much bigger and I've always wanted to get a good look at what made all the other boys so mad." Ben quietly explained to his little friend. "I do wish mine was a lot more like yours. I guess I'm like all the other boys that way, but I would never try to hurt you just because I'm jealous that you have such a nice big dick unlike mine!" Ben pleaded. WHAT? What was Ben trying to say? He was jealous? The other boys WANTED a dick like his? No, that couldn't be right; everyone just wanted to see the freakish thing. The nurses, the doctors, teachers, principal and all the other students just wanted to be entertained by the freak boy with the big penis. "I'm nnnot mmmad at you BBben" the little boy stammered, and couldn't help releasing another small sob. "You don't have to lie to me. I know you all think I'm just a freaky kid." Chris admitted. He was so ashamed having to talk to his best friend about the reason everyone made fun of him. Chris always felt so good around Ben. The bigger boy was his protector and his friend. Now the big boy would have to acknowledge Chris' shame. "I guess some boys call it freaky, Krisi, but that's just because they get so mad that such a little guy like you gets the first big dick in school" Ben laughed. Chris couldn't believe what he was hearing from his friend. Slowly Chris stretched his body out, he was completely exposed in front of his big friend and he felt very vulnerable. Wiping another tear from his eye he slowly pointed to his penis and then asked "You like my ugly penis?" Ben just chuckled with his boyish kind on laugh "I said I wish mine was just like yours didn't I?" Chris started to relax and just take a good look and his penis now, a thing he rarely ever did. For a boy his age it was huge. Not so much thick right now but pretty long. Probably at least 3 inches maybe even 4 or was it 5. Chris never measured the ugly thing, he didn't want to know the truth and so he really had no exact idea except in proportion to other boys. Slowly he moved his hand off his eyes and then stretched it out to grab his penis and slowly turn it back and forth with his small hand. The freakish organ looked even bigger in his little hand -- and then it started to swell. OH NO -- it was going to get erect. Chris dropped it like a snake was trying to bite him and started to cover his eyes with his hands again. "What's the matter, Krisi?" asked Ben. "Don't look Ben, I don't want you to see me pee pee on myself" Chris cried. "What do you mean?" Ben asked. "Pee pee" Chris replied, "When it starts to get big like that. You know like when you go to the bathroom". "Oh" Ben said. For a moment both boys just stayed quiet and still. The Ben seemed to decide something, "You don't play with your penis much do you Krisi?" Ben asked. "NO" Chris replied, "Why would I do that -- it causes the pee to come". Ben slowly nodded his head and then he gently smiled down on the little boy. "Krisi, can I touch it?" he asked. "You're not afraid of getting pee pee on your hands?" the little boy asked. "No" said the bigger boy, "but if you let me touch it I think I can tell you what's happening. I can tell you things that you don't know, but I think you ought to know." Chris wasn't sure about that, but he trusted his big friend and if Ben wasn't upset about the possibility of getting pee on his hand then why should Chris object -- except for the humiliation and he was used to that. Chris had never liked anyone touching his penis, but if Ben knew something that Chris didn't -- well Ben was a big boy he probably knew a lot of things Chris didn't know. "Ok, Ben, you can touch it" the small boy answered quietly. Ben got back on the bed and stepped over the smaller boy quickly. He seemed to be excited now. Then Ben dropped onto his knees next to Chris' waist and gently carefully reached a big hand out to capture the little boy's huge penis in his hand. Immediately his penis became more erect. Ben just held his hand perfectly still, fascinated, watching the other boy's penis get larger and larger in front of his eyes. When the organ seemed to stop and would grow no more Ben turned his head to face his small friend and said gently, "I promise Krisi, I won't hurt you, Ok? I need to touch it a certain way to check something." Chris swallowed suddenly. Ben was beginning to frighten him, but then he remembered all the times the bigger boy had beat up the bullies that plagued his much smaller friend. So Chris answered "I trust you Ben. I guess it's Ok this time". Ben just smiled at Chris and then he placed his other hand over the small boy's huge erect penis. By now Chris' penis was standing much higher -- about 45 degrees from his tummy pointing at the top of the headboard of his bed. Ben placed his other hand over Chris' penis so that both huge hands now encapsulated the large organ. Ben's hands almost covered the entire penis, something Chris could never have done. Even with both his hands he could not cover up his entire penis. For a few moments Ben just held his penis in a way that was squeezing it gently but firmly. Then Chris thought that Ben might be trying to warm his penis up. But why would the bigger boy need to do that -- it was already so hot they were both sweating. Speaking of sweat, Ben's hands were sweaty too -- and then he began to run Chris' penis between them, kind of like trying to roll molding clay into a ball. Chris suddenly felt a tingling that seemed to come from his tummy. No it was his penis now he was sure. Suddenly the massive organ began to grow again. Ben's eyes got even wider and for a moment he stopped rubbing. Chris had never seen his penis get this big, but when Ben began to gently rug again Chris couldn't help it he suddenly felt like arching his back which caused his erection to push out from between Ben's big hands. Chris moaned and then lay back again. Now Ben pulled up on his penis, trying to pull it away from his body but the skin on the shaft just slid back slowly. "What?" Chris started to ask. "Shh, its ok Krisi be still" the big boy counseled. Again Chris couldn't help arching his back he felt that he desperately needed to push his penis against something and so he pushed hard against Ben's big hands. His penis exploded out of Ben's grasp, but the bigger boy quickly grabbed harder to keep it under his control. When Ben grabbed so hard and squeezed Chris thought he was going to pass out, the room started spinning and it felt like his heart was in his penis instead of in his chest. And again he couldn't help arching backwards and thrusting his penis violently forward. This time the bigger boy was ready and gripped firmly on Chris' hard erection, but still the penis pushed through the big boy's sweating hands. Suddenly crystal like sparkling clear droplets of liquid began to appear at the end of the boy's penis. "Ben, watch out, Ben, it's the pee pee" Chris cried, "You need to stop. I don't want it on you". The boy who now appeared more of a giant just kept firm control of his small friend's body. "It Ok, Krisi, it's Ok, I'm fine. Don't stop. Keep going and you'll understand" Ben urged. Chris couldn't make it stop. The pee pee now began streaming out his pee hole and Ben's hands suddenly became slick with the stuff. The big boy wasn't mad, and he didn't seem to mind at all. Three, four, seven, ten, the little boy couldn't stop he kept arching his back and thrusting his penis forward and then collapsing and doing it again and again. Then the boy's spasming began to slow and stop, and in its place Ben was rocking and moving his hands up and down his small friend's penis. "It's Ok little guy" Ben whispered, "Just relax and let it happen. I won't let anyone hurt you, Krisi, I promise. No one will ever hurt you, but you need to know. You need to feel it now". His friend's quiet words relaxed the little boy deeper and deeper there was a glowing feeling now that radiated from the tip of his penis all the way back down and into his body. His testes had drawn up into his body too. Every so often Ben reached down further with his hands and gently rubbed them as well as his penis. Chris' toes began to arch backward on their own. His penis was glowing in the moonlight every time Ben pulled his hands down the long shaft and his friend kept pushing the large organ to stand more and more straight out from the little boy's body. No more was the tiny boy arching or thrusting -- the big boy was doing everything for his little friend. Where had Ben learned to do this Chris suddenly thought. Then all thoughts fled as the big boy intensified the stroking movements of his small friend. "Soon little guy" Ben cooed, "Just let it happen, now. I'd never hurt you, Krisi. No one will ever hurt you my little guy. I'll always be here to protect you." The words became a lullaby to the boy. The sensations now washed over him in waves like the ocean. The gentle rocking of Ben's movements, the tingling glow from Chris' tummy -- his entire life was now being centered near the tip of his penis. Ben seemed to be avoiding touching there. "Your ready now, Krisi" Ben said. In the dream like state Chris looked down at his big friend, his protector, but instead of looking at the little boy's penis Ben was watching his tummy. Chris barely noticed that it was quivering now, in and out, in and out, coming faster and faster. "It's time little buddy. Time to grow up and be a man. Whatever happens, Krisi, don't stop. It's going to be Ok. When it's time I'll tell you, and then we'll stop. Ok?" Chris simply moaned in answer. He couldn't speak anymore. His whole body was now pulsing with energy, glowing, growing. Ben was right. Chris felt his chest get bigger, his legs stronger, and his arms wider. Is this what it felt like to be a man? Then it happened. It was coming. Slowly oh so slowly Chris pushed his penis up and up against his friend's hands. Oh my god, it was so big now! What if it never became normal again? How could he ever hide that monster thing? It was glistening now so bright and brilliant. Why was it so bright? It was the moonlight and the streetlight at the end of the block shining through the bedroom window -- and the pee, the clear pee pee that was everywhere now. Coating Ben's hands front and back, all around Chris' crotch and dribbling down the boy's legs -- it was everywhere, never before had there been so much fluid, never before. Nothing could contain it -- nothing could hold it back. Chris pushed more. He felt his entire body slide back into the bed, deep into the mattress. The sheets were sliding out from under him. Was Ben lifting him up? No Ben was trying to hold his friend down. What was happening? Chris couldn't stop his life, his blood; his body was rising up through his penis. The universe had become his penis. His whole life he had feared this ugly massive organ. He hated it, he loathed it. His penis was his humiliation, the reason for all his fear and pain and tears. Now Ben had Chris' entire universe in his hands -- small gentle hands they seemed now compared to the massive glistening penis. Then it happened. So suddenly Chris couldn't even breathe. In fact time seemed to slow and then slowly it stopped. Starlight erupted in the night. White light streamed from his penis as it shot up and up past all sight and then it just as quickly collapsed. Was it over? NO again his universe exploded upward through his penis. Ben kept his friend firmly attached to the ground, but then he whispered, "Oh my god, little buddy. No man will ever top you." Again the blazing white hot starlight flashed from his penis and Ben couldn't control it anymore. The boy's hands slipped suddenly and the penis exploded upward from between them. "Ahhhhhhhh" Chris shouted. Ben grabbed the little boy's body and threw his naked chest across Chris' crotch while wrapping his big arms around the little boy's butt. Suddenly Ben's face flashed over the little boy's penis. AGAIN the hot starlight erupted from the boy's penis. It was out of control. Ben's face was splashed with the hot liquid. Again it erupted from the little boy and flooded over Chris' face too and his chest and stomach. "God damn little guy" Ben shouted to his friend. Over and over the bright liquid splashed. It was everywhere and it seemed like it would never stop. Then Chris heard it. Little giggles at first and then wild laugher erupting from Ben's lungs and chest. "NOW LITTLE GUY. I PROMISE IT WILL STOP, BUT YOU HAVE TO FINISH IT" Ben shouted to him. And then Ben embraced the tiny boy. Their two naked bodies smashed into each other. Chris felt it happen -- the explosion from his loins. He fell back and was folded into the big boy's arms. He was beyond humiliation. He was beyond tears or sorrow. Everything was just now, this one moment with Ben. Never before, and the boy thought never again, will I ever feel like this. The waves crashed into his body, crashed into his mind, crashed and were contained by Ben. Then the little body began to shake everywhere all at once and the big boy crushed him into his body trying to stop the now violent shaking. The little boy's penis now wasn't joy -- it wasn't the universe, suddenly it was torment. "Aiehhh" the boy screamed. His legs tried to contract into his body. His head smashed down into Ben's shoulder. Ben jumped up and grabbed the little boy allowing him to contract into a fetal position on the bed. The big boy encased the little one in his arms. "STOP KRISI" Ben commanded. Chris couldn't help it. His body was aching and burning. Then Ben was there in his face, "It's over my little guy. I'll clean it up. Just be still". Slowly the big boy began to lick Chris face. What was he doing? There was a sticky feeling to everything it seemed -- and a smell and the little boy didn't like. "Be still little guy" Ben ordered. The big boy licked all over his face. Then he glided his tongue down every inch of Chris' small chest as he pulled and stretched the smaller boy back out. "Hmmm" Ben moaned as he began to lick Chris' stomach. The large boy stopped when he got to Chris crotch -- frozen. Chris knew that if Ben so much as applied the tiniest touch to his penis that Chris would start screaming and never stop. Ben spent what felt like hours but was in reality on a few seconds watching the small boy's huge organ gradually shrinking back to its long narrow natural state. Ever so slowly the big boy blew his cooling breath of Chris' penis. Even that little sensation was almost more than Chris could stand and he felt his whole body spasm and a groan escaped the little boy's lips. Then Ben was cleaning Chris' legs -- wherever the older boy found spent liquid he used his own mouth to clean up the remains. Slowly Ben began to methodically rub down the little boy's body and muscles. Then he wiped spilled liquid from his own body and licked it off his hands and fingers. How could Ben lick up the pee pee, Chris thought himself? That was gross. Chris would've thrown up for sure he thought. Slowly carefully Ben stretched out his hands toward Chris' penis. `NO', no Chris thought it'll hurt! I'll scream and my dad will wake up and find us. The little boy almost began crying again from the fear. As if a feather had come to rest on his shaft -- that tenderly did Ben's big hand glide over the little boy's now flaccid penis. Gradually the hand surrounded and lightly held the boy's testes. "Ohhh" Chris moaned. This was where the real pain was centered. As if to caress the wings of a broken butterfly the bigger boy just drew his finger tips so delicately around the tiny boy's scrotum. He avoided any direct touch to either testicle. Cautiously Ben gradually coaxed the tiny boy's large testicles away from his body cavity. He messaged the sac with the greatest care and then eased his face down and began to lick all the stickiness away from Chris' scrotum. Gradually Ben began tracing his tongue everywhere else through the small boy's crotch, until all was clean except the penis. For a long time Ben cradled Chris in his arms while he sat frozen in guardianship over the little boy's large flaccid penis. Then Ben flowed down and away with his friend. Depositing the small boy on the mattress again. Ben looked up and took a big hand and again pulled the sweaty bangs from the little boy's face. "One last thing, Krisi. I'll be very careful. Don't be afraid. You may not like it at first, but if it hurts the pain will be gone quickly, Ok?" Chris was beyond caring now. This all felt so strange. Why had Ben done this? What had Chris learned? The little boy didn't understand". Chris looked back up into Ben's face; the older boy was waiting patiently for Chris to give permission. Ben didn't need permission. The older boy could have done anything he wanted and nothing Chris could've done would've been able to stop him. Still Ben waited. Then the older boy's face began to slowly spread wide with a gentle last smile. "I love you little guy" Ben said, "but I need your permission to finish this". Ben loved him? What did that mean? The only people that had ever said they loved him had been Chris' grandparents -- his mother's parents. His father's parents he'd never seen. Chris had never met them nor heard his father ever mention them. His mother's parents had died in a car crash when Chris was 6. Chris never really understood love, but he did remember the last time he saw his grandparents. His grandfather had picked up the tiny boy and embraced him so gently in his big arms like he was a fragile piece of glass. Then his grandmother had come and taken the boy so tenderly from her husband and his grandfather wrapped his arms around the tiny boy and his wife. The old woman (actually she was only about 45 then) smiled and stared deeply into Chris' eyes. Her eyes were blue just like Chris' everyone used to say. "We love you so much my little man" his grandmother said. "Grow big and strong son" his grandfather boomed in his giant voice. So carefully and slowly his grandmother had handed off the little boy to his mother. She promptly stood the boy on the ground, "We'll have none of that son, you aren't a baby that needs cuddling anymore" his mother had said in her stern voice while she frowned at her departing parents. As they drove away his grandmother looked back over her shoulder and waved at Chris. The little boy waved as his mother began to drag him back toward their home. The little boy frantically looked back over his shoulder one last time and saw that his grandmother was still smiling and waving at him. The boy never saw them again. "Ok, little guy?" Ben queried again. Chris just nodded his head. Whatever Ben was asking this seemed to be the signal that he could precede. Slowly Ben moved his head down to Chris' crotch. In one swift gentle motion Ben pulled Chris' penis completely into his mouth. Chris groaned -- the sensation was pleasure, pressure and pain. His testicles attempted to rise into his body again, but the older boy's hands gently kept them in place -- fully anticipating that response. Ben used his tongue to slowly clean and massage Chris' penis. Now Ben had indeed cleaned every inch of himself and the tiny boy -- all with his mouth and tongue! Suddenly Chris felt something stirring from his penis. It began to slowly get erect again, and then stopped. Like slow motion Chris felt something slowly flow in small amounts through his penis. Ben chocked a couple of times, but didn't stop what he was doing. "Hmmm" Ben groaned again. Slowly Chris' penis began to shrink. After a while Ben stopped his oral message and ever so slowly pulled his mouth away from Chris' penis. What had happened? What was the stuff flowing through his penis, the little boy asked himself? For a few silent moments Ben stared down at what had always been Chris' greatest humiliation and shame. Somehow now with Ben this was no longer the case. Ben bowed his head placing his nose into the little boy's crotch just below his penis and above his ball sac. Ben began to slowly take in a deep breath and then he gently laid his head on Chris' stomach while his hand lightly brushed Chris' genitals one final time. Slowly Ben sat up on the bed and then lay down beside Chris on his side facing the little boy. For a long time neither one said a word, while Ben watched his small friend's face for a reaction. Finally Chris got up the courage to stare right back into Ben's face. "Why'd you do that to me Ben?" Chris asked with a small quiver in his high pitched little boy voice. Ben gently reached out a big hand and placed it in the center of Chris' small chest and then slowly and gently drew his hand down Chris' body until it rested once more on Chris' penis. Chris stayed perfectly still, quivering just a fraction each time Ben's hand finished a pass over his penis. "Does that hurt now, little guy?" Ben asked. Chris shook his head, `no'. Slowly Ben began to pull hard and with more force on the little boy's long penis. The penis responded to the touching and began to grow once more. Again Chris let out a low moan. "That feels nice doesn't it?" Ben quietly asked. Chris just nodded his head up and down but still kept silent. Then Ben's hand stopped and pull back then dropped slowly to rest at the top of Chris' groin. Ben made tiny swirls with the tips of his fingers across Chris' skin. Chris couldn't help himself and he giggled. Ben's response was to run his fingers lighter and faster as if pulling an invisible dancer through the air. Chris jerked and giggled louder. "Stop Ben. That tickles. Stop" Chris laughed when he said that. Ben's big hand stopped and then carefully he pinched his fingers together and lightly pulled up. Chris felt a gentle tug of something pulling up the skin in his groin. "You have a pretty good bunch of hair coming in there, little guy" Ben chuckled. "Hair?" Chris asked even though he knew it was there. "Yea" Ben replied. Suddenly Ben jumped up and raised his arms over his head, then with one hand he pointed to his armpit and bent over Chris. "Hair, see?" Chris had never looked at Ben's armpits before, or really any other kid's armpits for that matter. Then Ben picked up Chris' small hand and pulled it up to place it into his open arm pit -- the hairs were very thin and delicate. Then Ben took Chris' hand and pulled it down toward the bigger boy's crotch. Chris started to jerk his hand away, but Ben's grip was like iron and he held Chris' arm and hand firm without causing pain. "It's ok, little guy" he said, "I just want to show you something". Ben placed Chris' fingers on the skin just above Ben's penis. "No hair, see?" Ben said. Chris nodded his head, he felt no hair there. Ben placed Chris' hand on his little body just above his penis and with Ben's finger laced between Chris' fingers he dragged them all around on Chris' skin there. "Feel the hair now?" Ben asked. "Yes, Ben" Chris replied, the hair was shorter and softer then the hair on Ben's body had been. Then Ben placed Chris' hand on Chris' penis and Ben pulled Chris' other hand over and placed it over Ben's penis. Likewise Ben moved one of his hands also over Chris' penis and the other one over Chris' hand on Ben's penis. "Watch and feel" the older boy instructed. Ben directed the hands over Chris' body to grasp and stroke Chris' penis until it began to grow. Then Ben did the same with his own penis. After a while Ben's penis had grown to at least 3 maybe 4 times its original size. Chris' penis got much bigger but not as much bigger in proportion to the original size as Ben's. "My older brothers say that some day my dick will be as big as theirs are. Their dicks are even bigger than yours" Ben explained to Chris. "Sometimes a guy's dick can start out small and then get really big when it gets hard. Other times guy's dicks start out big but they don't get much bigger when they get hard" Ben lectured the little boy. "Where'd you learn all of this Ben?" asked Chris. "Aw mostly from my older brothers because they said I needed to know it all in case I had to go back to reform school" Ben answered. Chris had heard about reform school before. It was like jail for bad kids. "You went to reform school?" Chris asked. "Sure didn't you know? That's why we're in the same grade even though I'm a year older than you. That held me back a year" Ben answered. "What for?" Chris asked again. "Oh some friends and me, well we broke into a place with lots of candy and stole it, but they caught us" said Ben. "Who caught you?' asked Chris. "The cops -- you know they drive around in those white cars and wear blue pants, shirts and hats with gold shields on them" Ben answered again, "Don't ever let the cops catch you Krisi. Not unless you want to end up in reform school." Ben said this in a very direct manner and poked the smaller boy in the chest to make his point. "At reform school there are lots of older guys; other boys and old guys that work there. Some of them are really mean and they make you do things you don't want to or they can really hurt you. Beat you up bad." Ben slowly replied as he looked out the window. "That was where I learned to do what I just did for you" the bigger boy quietly admitted, "I mean how to clean a man up. Except I didn't want to hurt you Krisi. I'd never do that to you" Ben stated. "I wanted you to learn because when you're a man you've got to know how to do that and to make babies and all" the boy smiled down at Chris. "Babies?" Chris asked. "Yea, that's what the stuff you're calling pee pee is for, except it ain't yellow like pee, and you learn to like it when other guys make you eat it all the time" Ben stated as a matter of fact. "They call it `come' in reform school, but I think its called `sturm' or something like that for real." "Watch Krisi" Ben instructed him again. Ben sat back and started rubbing his penis, stroking it up and down and as it grew he began to groan more and more. The older boy's penis eventually got pretty big. Not as big as Chris' erect penis had been but large all the same. Once Ben established a kind of rhythm he began to clench his hand harder and groan louder all the time. Finally clear liquid started to flow out of the tip of the big boy's erect penis and finally a couple of little squirts more shot out a short distance before the boy stopped what he was doing. "Wanna touch it?" Ben asked with a gleam in his eye. Chris shook his head `NO' violently. He never liked touching his own penis so why'd he ever want to touch another boy's penis? Ben got a hurt feeling and then looked kind of mad and grabbed the smaller boy's hand and forced it up against his wet penis that was now shrinking. "NO", Chris screamed and then rolled over and started to cry again. The terror of strangers touching him without his permission and making him stand there naked kept flashing in his mind. After a few moments the bigger boy's hand reached over Chris' shoulder and gently pulled the naked smaller boy onto his back once more. Chris tried to resist but Ben was too big and too strong and Chris knew he couldn't fight off the big boy no matter what he wanted. "I'm sorry little guy. I forgot how it feels when big guys force you to do what you don't want to" Ben barely spoke to Chris so quiet was his voice. Chris wiped his tears and asked "Bigger boys forced you to do things?" he asked. Ben just shook his head up and down and Chris could see that it looked like he might start crying. Then the big boy spoke so softly that Chris almost didn't hear him, "The first time was the cops that caught me and then took me to jail". Chris saw real fear in his big friend's eyes. The little boy didn't think there was anything that could frighten Ben. "My older brother's told me I was being a sissy and to toughen up and take it like a real man" the big boy quietly explained. "When I finally got out of reform school, Jack, that's my brother who's 16 took me to his room one night and taught me everything he said I needed to know about sex to be safe" the large boy admitted so softly it was hard to hear. "Jack tried not to hurt me much and he was a lot nicer to me than those guys in reform school, but I still didn't like it much" Ben admitted. "If you know how to do things little guy, then most of the big guys won't hurt you too bad" Ben explained as looked right at Chris. Then suddenly Ben seemed to want to change the subject and got very excited. "Krisi I have to tell you that you're extra special you know?" said Ben. "Why?" Chris asked. "I've never heard or even seen anyone that could shoot `come' like you did Krisi. I heard if you've never `come' and you wait a really long time that something like that can happen. You must've needed to `come' for years and years, Chris. And your dick and balls are so much bigger than any other kids anywhere close to our age" he went on. "Be real careful Krisi, because if the older guys find that out they'll mark you" Ben said in a very cold voice. "What does that mean?" asked Chris. "It means that they'll wait till no one is looking and then they'll snatch you when they get their first chance and they'll hurt you bad, maybe rape you too" Ben continued. "Rape?" Chris asked. "That's when they put their dicks up your butt hole. It hurts really really bad and most of the time you bleed. I even heard you could bleed to death if it's the worst big guys doing it" Ben went on. Chris thought about the doctors and nurses and teachers and principals. Now he had to worry about cops and lots of big guys and older men too? The little boy started to cry again, but Ben dropped down beside him and pulled the little boy against his chest protectively and just told him over and over again that he was sorry if he hurt him and not to worry because he loved his little guy and would always protect Chris no matter what. Slowly Chris calmed down and began to get sleepy. "Ben?" Chris asked. "What my little guy?" the older boy said quietly. "Is it ok with you if we don't do this anymore? Maybe never again?" Chris pleaded with his big friend. Ben became very quiet and Chris was afraid that he might be mad at him, but after a few minutes Ben seemed to sigh and hugged Chris even closer. "I said I love you Krisi and I wasn't kidding about that. I always felt like no one loved me, but my brothers showed me what they said love was and that was ok even if it used to scare me a lot. I promised myself last year that if I ever loved someone I'd never hurt them like people hurt me, no matter what I wanted. I love you, but if you tell me we can never have a sleep over again then I guess I have to say its ok" Ben explained. Chris looked up into his big friend's face and he saw a tear roll down the big boy's cheek. Chris was shocked. That was another thing he didn't think that Ben ever did -- was cry. Chris wanted to take back what he had asked for, but he remembered the doctors and other people touching him and what Ben had done, and while it felt good most of the time, it reminded the little boy of all the humiliation by the grown ups. Beside that somewhere inside of Chris what the two boys had done didn't feel right to the small boy. What all the adults had done to Chris over all the years didn't seem right either, but Chris didn't know how to stop them. He had tried one time to talk to his dad about it, but the older man just ignored Chris and finally told him to quit his whining. Just as Chris was about to drop off to sleep Ben pulled him up so that the two boys were on their sides facing one another. Chris woke up completely now, afraid that Ben had changed his mind and wanted to touch all his private places again. "Little guy. I guess I never explained why I call you that a lot instead of Krisi all the time" Ben explained. "It's because I never had a little brother and that's what my older brothers always call me. Then when you and I became friends I started pretending you were my little brother. That's when I started protecting you, because big brothers always protect little brothers". Chris just nodded his head. He'd never had any brothers or sisters, but what Ben was saying sounded right to Chris. "Family loves each other, little guy. I'm officially making you my little brother from now on, not just my friend. That way no one will think there's anything wrong with us loving each other like that" said Ben. Chris didn't know about that since he had never heard about men or boys loving other men or boys. Even his grandfather never said he loved Chris, at least not that Chris could remember. It was his grandmother and occasionally his mother that had told him they loved him. With his parent's separation now his mother seldom said she loved him anymore. As Chris grew up his mother began to give him looks more often that seemed to be the same way she used to look at his dad. "I love you, little guy. I won't let anyone every hurt you including me. Not for any reason. If that ever happens then I'll ask God to strike me dead because your big brother promised to protect you and failed. When a guy doesn't keep his promises or when people who love you fail to do their job right there has to be consequences" Ben said this like he really meant it. Chris didn't know what to say to the older boy. Ben seemed to want something from Chris, but Chris had no idea what that could be or if it was even something Chris could give him. Chris didn't feel like he loved Ben. Sure they were friends, even best friends, but still Chris learned a long time ago that if you depend on other people they'll always let you down. While he did appreciate that Ben had protected him and while he was no longer upset about what Ben felt Chris needed to learn tonight he knew in his heart that he couldn't lie to Ben and say he loved him. He couldn't even agree they were family -- because he knew that wasn't true no matter how much Ben wanted to make it so. Still he needed to do something for his friend to let him know that he did care for him. The little boy sat up still naked next to his big naked friend Ben and they stared at each other for what seemed a long time. Then Chris bent over and kissed Ben on the lips like his aunts and uncles and some cousins always used to do to him back when they used to still see each other. Ben just froze there and got a very confused look on his face. He hardly seemed to be breathing. What was wrong? Did Chris do something really bad? Ben thought it was ok to for boys to love each other and ok to play hard with each other's private parts and to hug and laugh and cry together and even pick each other up naked and carry one another around, but it wasn't ok to kiss each other? Ben must have seen Chris' confused look echoing his own and the fact that Chris was close to crying again. Ben sat up and hugged the little boy as close as he could; their two naked bodies enmeshed once more. This time no one's penis got hard. "I love you too bubba. That's what my oldest brother calls me sometimes, the one who didn't teach me about the sex stuff, but still says he loves me" Ben said. "Listen very carefully little guy because what I'm going to tell you is more important than anything else I can ever teach you. It's ok for men to do what we did tonight -- if they keep it secret and don't go around telling everyone about it. That's because all men have urges and there ain't always pretty girls around to satisfy those urges, like in jail or reform school or late at night in your home when your folks don't let you have nobody over to play with. It's ok for men to love other men. I know that because my dad says he loves me and my brothers both say they love me -- heck they do it all the time so much it used to make me sick. And there is no way that you don't know this, but its ok for men to love any woman and as many women as they want to -- you just never let them think they own you or you won't be worth shit! My brothers beat that message into my head a long time ago. What's NOT OK is for men to be like men and women are together. Men don't love men like they love women -- that's what queers are. In reform school the queers were beat up worse than anyone else and some of them got killed too. One way you know queers is because they kiss each other. You know like men and women do and sometimes women kiss each other, but my mom said that doesn't mean those women are gay, but you'll never see me ask to date one that I see doing it! I'm not mad at you Krisi; because I know you don't know lots of things cause you have no brother and sisters to explain it to you like I did. Well I'm your big brother now so I am telling you straight. MEN DON'T KISS EACH OTHER LIKE QUEERS -- REMEMBER THAT! I'm no fag, little guy! I love you and protect you because you're my brother. If you ever want to do what we did tonight again, just ask me quiet like and I'll come around real quick and help you out cause I know what it's like to have an itch that needs someone to scratch it for you. That's how my older brother explained it to me. I like you a lot, Krisi, you're amazing to be around and lots of fun too. I promise on my life to keep my word and protect you because we're family, but you're not queer little guy and I'm not either. If you ever think you might be getting queer you just come see me and I'll teach you what my brother's taught me to keep that from happening. Ok?" Chris just nodded his head, but he really truly believed Ben -- everyone in school anywhere in Texas new that queers were bad people. And Chris never wanted anyone to think he was a queer. Once Ben seemed to think that Chris had received that message loud and clear he lay back down in the bed. When Chris didn't lie down too, Ben reach up and pulled the naked little boy down next to him. Ben wrapped his big arms around Chris' naked body once more and for a brief moment his hand brushed against Chris' penis, but almost as quickly it was removed and placed again in the protective circle around the little boy. "You're a quick learner little guy. No more lessons now. Just remember what your brother Ben taught you and don't forget that I'm always watching over you. If I don't keep my promise then God has every right to see me punished right properly." Ben gave the little boy a big squeeze and then with one arm and hand around Chris the other hand came to rest on the boy's chest and patted him a couple of times. Within a few minutes Ben was snoring lightly so Chris knew the older boy was asleep. After a while Chris got up and crawled out of bed as quietly as he could. He walked over and picked up his white Jockey briefs and quietly pulled them up his legs. Then he found Ben's boxers and tiptoed around to Ben's side of the bed. He wasn't sure how to do this so he just lightly brushed his hand against Ben's leg. The older boy started at first and Chris thought he might wake up but then the boy made a sigh and opened his legs wider than they had been. Chris placed the boxers over one foot and then had to work hard to get Ben's legs close enough together so he could put the other leg of the boxers over the other foot. Ben hardly seemed to notice or care than anyone was touching his naked body. Chris climbed into the bed and pulling up hard slowly worked the boxers over Ben's legs and up toward his crotch. Out of breath the little boy sat down for a moment facing his still mostly naked friend. Having an idea the boy pulled the front of the boxers up as far as they would go till they were just below Ben's smaller penis and balls. Then Chris tried to pull Ben onto his side so that the older boy was facing him. This didn't work at first but then Ben seemed to understand even in sleep what Chris needed and rolled onto his slide his arm even came up and draped over Chris' shoulder. Once again the little boy was afraid to rouse the sleeping big boy and so he sat very still. Suddenly Chris felt something and looked down at his hands. Ben's penis had fallen sideways and was resting comfortably against Chris' hands. Having been warmed by the touch of Chris' hands Ben's penis was starting to become erect again. For the first time in the little boy's life he just sat touching another other boy's penis and watched it grow in quiet contemplation. Ben had seemed so hurt because Chris has refused to rub the older boy's penis. Ben's penis didn't look scary now in fact it didn't remind Chris of his humiliation either because even while becoming erect it was still nothing like Chris' penis. Chris felt a moment of guilt for his friend and protector. Quietly, cautiously Chris reached out and slowly wrapped one hand around his friend's dick. With the other hand Chris slowly stroked the older boy's balls and ball sac. Even becoming erect Ben's penis felt warm and kind of soft unlike how hard Chris' could become. Likewise Ben's balls and scrotum were also smaller, softer and more pliable than Chris' genitals. The little boy felt a strange fascination for his friend's genitals and gradually a funny sense of curiosity came over the boy. He thought about everything Ben had done. Ben had explained in no uncertain terms that what boys did together in this manner wasn't wrong or queer, they were just satisfying each other's urges. Feeling only some hesitation Chris continued to stroke Ben's balls and rub the older boy's penis. Softly Ben moaned and his hips began to move around in small movements. Chris could'nt do this if his friend woke up. On some level it still felt wrong and Chris knew he'd be too embarrassed to continue if Ben knew what he was doing. Gradually Chris began to pull up and down on the penis just as he remembered Ben doing. Ben's organ now became fully erect -- or as erect as Ben could get a hardon Chris imagined. It was still softer than Chris' hardon when he was fully aroused. After several minutes Chris' arms began to get tired. He stopped messaging Ben's ball sac, but using both hands was also too hard for the little boy. He was still fascinated with what Ben's body seemed to be going through. While Chris' reaction had been so violent and unwieldy (except for what Ben had the power to control), Ben's body rocked gently, freely as if Ben was in a light dream. Then an idea came to Chris, he remembered Ben's fascination with the bottom of Chris' tummy right above the base of the penis. It was hard for Chris to see in the dim light especially with Ben facing him -- so Chris stopped rubbing Ben and using both hands tried to slowly push the older boy back on his back. Ben's body silently obeyed the command and rolled back over. Chris waited, while Ben continued to breathe softly. Now in the same moonlight and street light Chris was finally able to see his friends fully erect penis, tummy and balls. Ben's penis looked different from Chris', but Chris was having a hard time figuring out why. Ben's penis seemed to jerk on its own and then the tip with the pee hole poked out of a circle of tightening skin. Ben was uncircumcised, but of course Chris had no idea what that meant. Once more the little boy's curiosity of his friend's very private anatomy conquered Chris' reluctance. The little boy's hand encircled the engorging tip of the other boy's penis and tightened his grip cautiously. The penis pushed away from Ben's body trying to stand on its own. Chris, with one hand on Ben's penis placed his other hand on the older boy's abdomen just above the base of the penis and pushed down gently with the heel of his hand while the fingers of that same hand put light pressure around the base of the penis. This was starting to feel too completed to the tired little boy. What Ben had done with quiet ease Chris was finding hard to do not to mention exhausting. Once more the little boy kept at it and eventually Ben's penis was once again in rocking motion with the older boy's hips and body. This was a lot of work, thought Chris to himself. How Ben could stay asleep through all of this Chris had no idea but he was grateful that his friend had remained that way. Ben's movements became more and more forceful although again never as violent as Chris' had been. Just before Chris thought that his arms would give out Ben's movement suddenly stilled but his penis was again pushing upward hard against Chris' hand -- so Chris used all his might and pushed down as hard as he could on Ben's tummy while also stroking down hard of the shaft of Ben's penis and watching the tip move upward ever so slowly. Just as Chris' penis had done, Ben's showed little crystal like sparkles of liquid that seemed to ooze out of the other boy's pee hole. Reminding himself as Ben had explained that this was not pee, but instead `come' or `sturm' whatever that was. Chris ignored his discomfort when the liquid began to drip down over his hands. Allowing his hands to become slowly covered, Chris continued to pump the older boy's penis while keeping up the direct pressure to the base of the penis and tummy. Unlike Chris' penis the skin around Ben's penis moved easily up and down the erect shaft, even covering the top of the penis on each movement. Again the rocking of Ben's body started once more, but was never as forceful as they had been before. Then something began to happen. As with Chris the clear liquid seemed to have spread over everything. Chris didn't know what to do and also Ben's penis started looking very red. Had Chris' done that? The little boy didn't remember such things happening. Chris was becoming worried about his friend's penis. Could Chris hurt Ben? Ben had been very careful, he said, to not hurt Chris. When Ben's penis became so red especially at the tip, Chris started to wonder if it could bleed, and now the clear liquid seemed it would never stop. Chris remembered how Ben took control of the little boy's body when Chris became too violent, so Chris decided he had to do the same for his friend. Chris grabbed the tip of Ben's penis and squeezed as hard as he could to stop the continued leaking of fluid and to prevent it from getting any bigger or starting to bleed and also pushed his full weight down on Ben's tummy. Ben's reaction was sudden, violent and unexpected. Ben arched his back in exactly the same way Chris had done. Then the boy's hips shot up knocking the smaller boy down. Chris knew for certain that if he let Ben's body lose control that his friend would be seriously hurt. So Chris wrapped one arm around Ben's waist, though it couldn't possibly reach all the way, and used the other to continue to close off the top of the big boy's penis while also pushing down on the shaft. Suddenly Ben seemed to shout "Aghhh" and again his penis and hips tried to soar into the air. Fighting with all his small might Chris gave everything to keep Ben's body from harming itself. Then the worst happened, Chris' hand slipped down the shaft of the now absolutely huge boy's penis. In fact Ben's penis looked almost as big as Chris' had been -- even nearly as hard, at least that's how it looked to Chris. Trying to control as best he could Chris grabbed around the top of the older boy's dick and tried to squeeze it into submission. Ben shot up one last time like a rocket and just as quickly the bigger boy's body slammed into the mattress as Chris frantically pushed down. Chris didn't understand what was happening with ropes of bright hot liquid suddenly everywhere. It was in Chris' face, on both boys' chests; it was flying toward the ceiling even spewing all across the bed linens. Frantically Chris remembered that this was about the time when Ben had told him that the little boy had to stop. Seeing the continuing onslaught of liquid pulsing out of Ben's pee hole and having never had formal instructions on how to do this -- Chris again grabbed the hard organ and tried to squeeze the erect penis closed at the tip. Ben knew the difference between circumcised and uncircumcised boys, and easily could have explained that the glans or tip of the penis is much more sensitive to a boy with an intact foreskin but of course Chris knew none of this and continued his forceful onslaught of the head of his friend's penis. Chris was going to squeeze it closed or die trying. The roaring noise that escapes Ben's lungs shook the walls of the bedroom. With only his last option Chris did like Ben had done and flung his nearly naked body on top of his big friend. Ben's penis is still stabbing upwards and feels like it could impale Chris all the way through his groin, and then suddenly Ben's massive erection slides between Chris' legs and Chris then wraps his arms around his friend and clamps his legs hard together to hold his friend in place as best as he can. This final time both boys' bodies hit the mattress and all the air is pushed out of the little boy's lungs. Ben's body is quivering and Chris can feel his still erect penis jerking between Chris' legs. Within minutes the older boy's movements subside and total quiet is returned to the bedroom. Chris pushes up on his shoulders to look at his friend's face. Ben's eyes are still closed and his breathing is returning to normal. That's just crazy, thought the little boy! How another human being could possibly sleep through all that Chris had no idea, but a last time he murmurs a quiet thank you to his friend for not humiliating him. Chris carefully climbs off of Ben's large body. The clear sticky stuff is everywhere. Chris' briefs are a mess and Ben's boxers are also a disaster and look like they may have even torn since they were still around Ben's legs when this all started. Chris stands up and pulls off his briefs. Turning them inside out the boy uses them to clean the sticky clearish liquid off his face chest and body. Then Chris throws them towards the corner of the room where other dirty clothes are dumped. Chris struggles to pull off Ben's boxers and then also turn them inside out and wipe what liquid he finds off Ben's face chest, legs and torso, although from the cleanup Chris can tell that more liquid hit him than appeared to hit Ben -- was that what happened to Ben when the liquid was shooting out of Chris? Only Ben's testes and penis are still slicked down with the glistening liquid. Chris remembers again all that Ben did to clean him up without hurting him. Ben licked up all the liquid on Chris, but Chris didn't think he could do that for Ben, still... The little boy bends down and puts his face exactly over the center of Ben's now mostly normal sized penis. Thinking back Chris closes his eyes and draws as deep a breath of the smells of his friend's body as possible. The boy thought it should be a bathroom like odor the same as all the other nasty stuff that comes from the same areas of the body. The little boy was surprised actually because the odors are very faint. Is that because they are still little boys and they don't yet have the bodies of full grown men? Once more Chris draws in a deep breath and then suddenly his face touched Ben's penis. Startled the little boy's eyes shoot open, and he is afraid. He remembers that Ben was very careful when touching Chris' delicate penis afterwards and how Ben used his mouth to message the tender organ until it was calmed again. Chris carefully pulls his face back off Ben's penis and slowly wipes the sticky fluid off his face and then looks down at his wet hand. He sniffs at his hand -- and again the odors are faint, a kind of animal like scent. He remembers one of the teachers talking about animals and scent and explaining about the smell of something called `musk'. Is that mild odor what a man or at least a boy's `musk' would smell like? While not something he would want to smell all the time it doesn't repulse him either like he thought pee or pee-like stuff would. Ben groans quietly -- his friend might awaken and Chris needs to finish. The little boy slowly kneels beside his much larger friend and prepares to put his mouth around Ben's still wet penis. Closing his eyes and opening his mouth he leans in to take the much smaller organ in. His tongue falls out of his mouth and the tip of his tongue comes into contact with Ben's wet penis. Fighting back the urge to vomit and all the voices in his head that tell him this is wrong and repulsive Chris' lips start to close. "STOP" Ben commands. In one very swift frightening movement the bigger boy wraps both hands around both of Chris' shoulders. The little boy's eyes fly open as big as saucers. Ben is awake -- and looking angry. Again while looking directly into the little boy's eyes Ben says "Stop. I don't want you to do that, Krisi! You won't like it. At least not the first time, or the second and maybe never. I don't want to have to clean up my little brother's vomit off this stupid wet bed" the big boy explains. Suddenly Ben's face softens and ever so slowly a huge smile spreads across the 12 year old boy's face. Ben reaches down with one hand and taking a corner of the sheet wipes wetness off the little boy's face and then wipes all the other wetness off his own genitals and groin. Casting the sheet aside he once more positions the younger boy facing him and the smile fades as he lets his gaze burn into Chris' face. "Did I hurt you?" the older boy asks in a stern voice. Chris shakes his head `no'. "Why?" Ben asks barely above a whisper. Chris thinks for only a moment before dropping his head and whispering back "Because you needed it. I could tell you wanted me to and you were hurt when I wouldn't do it" the little boy admits reluctantly. One of Ben's big fingers reaches below the little boy's face and gently pushes his head up until he is once more looking deeply into Ben's hazel eyes. The bigger boy's eyes seem to mist and single tears flow down both cheeks at once. Now Chris' heart falls into his stomach. He has hurt Ben's feelings again despite everything he tried to do. Seeing that the little boy is nearing tears for probably the seventh time that night, Ben slowly but inexorably draws the tiny boy's body deep into his own. Ben lays both himself and his tiny friend back down so gradually that Chris starts to wonder if they weren't lying down all along. Both naked boys are once again face to face, chest to chest, groin to groin -- well actually since Ben is so much bigger Chris' face is really in Ben's neck and Chris' genitals are mostly against the lower part of Ben's abdomen, except for the little boy's long penis which while hanging down is most definitely touching Ben's penis too. Ben pulls Chris toward his side and again like before brushes loving strokes with his big hand down the little boy's chest, abdomen and groin before bringing it up and using it to once more lift the tiny boy's chin so they are again face to face. "Little guy, you didn't need to do any of that. I already promised I wouldn't force you to do that" Ben said. "It's ok, big brother. I really don't mind this one time. Besides people who love each other have to care for one another. Isn't that what you were saying?" the littlest boy asked. Again a tear rolled down the big boy's cheek and he sighed a deep sounding thing that seemed to release something pent up in the bigger boy's chest, "That isn't exactly what I said, Krisi. I was explaining that families take care of each other and that men have urges that sometimes other men help them out with, but I know you don't want to help that way and that's ok." Ben had briefly looked away but now turned back to face the little boy, "I love you little guy, but I don't want you to ever again feel like you need to do that for me. I only want you to do it if it's something you really want to do for me, or if you want to ask me to do it again for you. Is that understood?" Chris just nodded his head. He was never going to understand any of this, that much was apparent to him now. "I'm sorry Ben that I wasn't any good at it. I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment to you" the little boy sobbed. Ben's eyes flew wide and he started to shake and then again there were tears in his eyes but this time a huge grin was spreading over his face and then suddenly he began laughing -- so loud and long that Chris was afraid Ben might wake his drunk father yet again. But that would never happen, as drunk as his father was tonight he wouldn't even wake up by the time Chris and Ben went to school or even later than that. Slowly Ben calmed down and then hugged the little boy fiercely so many times that Chris thought he would pass out. "Krisi, you were never a disappointment. In fact it was all I could do to be still and keep my eyes closed until I was certain that you were done playing your little game" Ben chortled. "YOU WERE AWAKE THE WHOLE TIME?" Chris shouted. "Of course you little mouse, how could any guy possibly sleep through all that stuff you were doing to me?" Ben laughed again. Now Chris was really embarrassed. Ben was awake? The entire time? Ben just hugged the little boy tighter again. "I remember what it was like to be curious, so I played along because I just thought you wanted to understand what another boy is really like" Ben replied, then went on to say "I was confused about the need for underwear at first, but other than that nothing you did was really wrong until you nearly broke my dick at the end!" His eyes growing wide, Chris was horrified "I broke your dick?" he cried. Ben reached down and slowly pulled the foreskin away from the top of his penis. Sure enough the tip was still very red and there were tiny scratch marks around the top. "You need to cut those fingernails little guy" Ben lectured. Mortified the little boy just stared at the tips of his fingers - sure enough the longer than normal nails were evident. His mom always made him keep the nails cut short, but at his dad's place no one really cared. "One more piece of advice little guy. Never ever grab then end of a guy's uncircumcised dick like that just when he is about to `come'! If you had just let go I'd have been fine" Ben said. "But that's what you did for me when it was my turn Ben. You said I needed to stop and held me really tight too" Chris gushed. "Little guy, you'd never jacked off before. It was something your body has wanted to do for a very long time. You should've done that a long time ago because your dick and balls have grownup faster than all the rest of the boys in our class. And there're lots of them jacking off pretty often. You weren't used to what you were feeling and your little body was flying all over the place. I just held you down so you didn't fall off and hurt yourself or hit a hard part of the bed. Then when you wouldn't stop shooting `come' I knew I had to calm you down or you'd get stomach aches real bad -- like when someone kicks you in the nuts really hard. I never ever tried to crush that big dick of yours when you were `coming'." Now that Chris thought back on it -- that did seem to make sense. "I'm sorry Ben. Sorry that I hurt your dick like that" Chris meekly responded. "Don't worry about it little guy. I've been hurt a whole lot worse than that, believe me. Hurt so bad a couple of times that I had to see the doctors" Ben said. "No fooling? What'd they do about it?" Chris asked. "It was while I was still in reform school. I was raped, hard. I was bleeding pretty badly too. The doc sewed me up and put lots of cream on different places and then sent me back" the older boy explained as he shrugged his naked shoulders. "They didn't punish the guys who did that to you?" Chris asked. "Hell no little guy, those people at the reform school don't care. They just forget that stuff as soon as you walk out the door. The only time it's different is when you go to a hospital outside. Those hospital people have laws they've got to follow so sometimes that gets people mad enough to check it out" Ben continued. Ben placed his arms above his head and then stretched out comfortably on the mattress and after a sigh eased his legs apart a ways too. After a while he reached down and adjusted his penis and balls then putting his hands over his head again he exhaled loudly and seemed to relax even more. Chris was not upset any longer and not frightened of his big friend anymore either. The little boy sat up and getting on his knees knelt a final time over Ben's waist. Chris looked down at Ben's genitals and then slowly walked his sight up the bigger boy's abdomen and chest once more staring at the developing hair in his arm pits. Chris started to reach out and touch the other boy's adult hair and then stopped. "It's ok Krisi. I don't mind. You can do anything you want to just not with those claws of yours and absolutely NO KISSING" the older boy extolled. Feeling confident once more Chris reached out and gently touched the other boy's arm pit hair. His confidence hitting an all time high -- he then tugged sharply on an unusually long hair. "Ouch -- you little devil, that hurt! I said anything you want to -- that doesn't include torture". Chris reached down and then played lightly with the little hairs that were quickly developing around his penis. Ben leaned forward and touched the little boy in the same way and said "Man that is really amazing little guy. You will always be the envy of all the guys around you" then Ben stopped and lay down once more stretching out again to completely expose his body for Chris' curiosity. Both boys continued in this manner, Ben mostly laying still and Chris further exploring and touching both their bodies to compare his to Ben's and learn all about the differences. After a little longer Ben patted the bed beside him to indicate it was time to go to sleep. One last time Ben pulled the little boy into his bigger body with his big arms wrapped protectively around Chris. This time there was no more touching of body parts. Both boys had finally satisfied all their curiosity and neither boy felt any special `urges' anymore or if they did they decided not to tell each other about them. Slowly Chris began to fall to sleep nestled in Ben's protective embrace. Then a thought shattered the little boy's solitude and he sat up quickly turning around to face Ben again. Ben had not been asleep -- he was staring directly into Chris' eyes. "I'm going to get bigger with more hair aren't I Ben?" the little boy asked fearfully. Recognizing the source of his little friend's fear, Ben once more pulled the tiny boy into his embrace pulling Chris' back up firmly against his broad chest and then gently Ben lay his much larger head onto Chris' shoulder and turned his face to Chris' ear. The big boy blow air out of his mouth into Chris' ear and rubbed the tip of his nose back and forth lightly across the edge of Chris ear and around and through his dishwater blonde hair around the same ear. Chris giggled and said "Quit it, Ben that tickles. Stop it, STOP" The big boy hugged the little one even closer and quietly said into his ear, "Already you forget little guy. I love you. I won't abandon you. I'll never leave you. I'll always watch over you and protect you or God will punish me if I fail to do exactly what I've promised you that I will do." Chris suddenly became very tired and slowly drifted off to sleep completely protected in Ben's tender care. The little boy had no nightmares that night about bullies or doctors and the next morning Ben had already gotten up, washed and dressed himself and sat on the bed next to Chris watching over the little boy as he slept. No longer shy around Ben. Chris sat up naked and briefly turned around to smile at Ben. The older boy was watching his body, he understood that, but somehow for the first time in his life it no longer seemed to bother Chris, nor would his naked body in the casual settings around such places at school bother the boy as much in the future as it had been in the past and eventually not at all. Boys naked around each other isn't anything special, Chris knew that now. He went to wash up and just as he walked back in the room he saw Ben putting underwear into his backpack. While he was bent over Chris realized that Ben wasn't wearing his boxers. Of course not they were destroyed last night weren't they? Worried that his dad might find his dirty ones and ask questions Chris quickly looked around for the soiled clothing. Ben turned back, "What are you looking for little guy?" "I just wanted to throw away my underwear" Chris said shyly, "I was afraid someone might find them and ask me questions about them." Ben got that big grin on his face and said "I already took care of that little guy. No need to worry about anything, but if you don't finish soon we'll miss our bus." Chris quickly grabbed his backpack and then turned around to watch Ben stoop over to pick his up. Just as he did so Chris saw of flash of something white that Ben quickly pushed inside the backpack. Was that Chris' dirty Jockey briefs? Why would Ben want Chris' soiled undies? Turning back around Ben said "Time to go little guy." The two boys walked out the front door just in time to make the bus. For the rest of that semester and well into the next one Ben continued to watch out for Chris. It was no time at all before Chris was no longer bullied by anyone; the fact that Ben would beat the crap out of such a jerk became common knowledge at their school and elsewhere that the two boys went together. At the same time Chris began a growth spurt and the rest of his body seemed to be in a rush to catch up with his more grownup adult parts. Ben was his constant companion and even though both boys slept over at each other's homes a lot, Ben never again touched Chris in the same manner as he had on that first night, though Chris knew Ben would watch his body all the time, with or without clothes. At the bathroom at school or at their homes if no one was around Ben would obviously watch Chris' genitals while both boys urinated. Chris also looked casually at Ben's to take note of how the bigger boy also began to catch up to the smaller one in ways that seemed important to Ben. Chris figured that Ben was just keeping track of how he was growing compared to Chris so the smaller boy never minded. Chris understood competition between boys -- it was just like sports which he was growing to like more and more all the time now that he was getting big enough. On two other occasions something did happen. One time at Ben's house after the boys went to bed; Ben said he was taking off his boxers. Chris wasn't disturbed because he trusted Ben and had known for some time that Ben really preferred to sleep naked and often had those `urges' that Ben had first explained to Chris that men get and boys too. Ben told Chris that he knew the younger boy wasn't jacking off and explained that he believed this might cause Chris some problems later in life. Chris had been having wet dreams and despite what Ben had said Chris had found some pornography in the living room when his dad was out one time and hid it in his bedroom and had begun to use it to jack off on rare occasions. Chris was always afraid of getting caught by his father. He doubted his dad would care about him jacking off, after all he was constantly seeing his father having sex with different women all the time, but he was worried about a beating if his dad realized Chris has stolen his pornographic magazine. Chris sat in his briefs and watched his older friend as Ben explained what boys were supposed to do. Ben apparently felt that first time wasn't real training just an exercise in getting some much needed relief. Under his breath Chris just chuckled and pretended to be interested in it all. Seeing Ben aroused and even watching the bigger boy ejaculate held no real interest for Chris nor did it arouse any `urges' in him either. Ben may have been disappointed but if so he didn't say so to Chris. Just as Ben climaxed Chris heard a noise and turned to see that someone was peeking through Ben's bedroom door -- Chris had heard the door knob as it turned to open the door slightly. When Ben saw what Chris was looking at he jumped up and threw himself at the door and yanked it open. There stood 16 year old Jack smirking at Ben. Ben's oldest brother was no where in sight. Ben shouted "What the Hell, Jack. Quit sneaking around my room and don't you dare mess with Chris or I'll knock your lights out you shit faced whore!" Jack leaned against the door frame and threw his hands up in a mock signal of surrender, "Hey little guy, no worry, I was just watching out for you little people. You know I love you and I'd never hurt you little guys." Jack was an enormous teenager at least 50 lbs. bigger than Ben and for the first time Chris noticed that Jack had a huge bulge running down the inside of his faded and torn jeans leg and a smaller set of bulges to the side of that. Yep, no doubt about it Jack was close to Chris in private dimensions or possibly even bigger and right now it was obvious that the older teen was getting aroused. None of this was lost on Ben who was still standing in the doorway naked with ejaculate dripping down his penis and leg. Jack reached down and ran his finger across his younger brother's inside upper thigh and then drew his hand under his nose and sniffed. "Hey little guy this actually has sperm now. That's the white stuff you know. You need to start more regular treatments to keep that working properly" Jack snickered at his brother. Then making certain that Chris was watching Jack slowly put his wet dripping finger in his mouth and groaned deeply as he swallowed Ben's semen. Ben raged at his brother and slammed the door knocking the older boy out into the hallway. Ben leaned against the door in case Jack tried to force it open again, then slowly collapsed against it and sank to the floor breathing heavily and sobbing quietly. Chris got up and walked over to Ben and pulled the naked bigger boy up and with Ben's back to Chris' growing chest the younger boy wrapped his now larger arms around his friend and hugged him tightly, just like brothers are supposed to do for each other. Hugging didn't bother Chris anymore -- unless it was from adults. Ben quit crying and simply squeezed Chris' arms back then pushed them away and stalked back to his clothes pulling them on. "Get dressed, Krisi, we're staying at your place from now on" Ben said. Without complaint Chris pulled his jeans over his briefs and pulled on the T Shirt and sneakers too. When the boys entered Chris' apartment that he lived in with his dad, there was the old man naked on the sofa with the TV still blaring and some naked whore draped drunk across his lap. The woman woke up hearing the noise and looked at the two boys. She chuckled and asked "Either of you boys need to have any `urges' met?" Chris and Ben exchanged shocked looks especially since her words sounded like the woman knew of previous conversations the boys had had. Without replying both boys ran to Chris' bedroom and slammed the door shut. Chris looked to his friend to see if he was aroused, which he wasn't then shaking their heads both boys pulled off their street clothes and crawled into bed without further incident. The only other incident of note that Chris remembered was when Chris had helped a neighbor and her young son plant some flowers outside their next door apartment by the patio. The neighbor had always liked Chris and told him that she appreciated the help and thought sometime Chris could play video games with her son. The boy was at least three years younger than Chris and Chris realized he was painfully shy. Chris said that he had to do some chores around his apartment before his dad got home but told the boy to come by later if he was still interested in playing. Chris walked off but mentioned that their apartment door was always unlocked if someone was home. That was because his dad was always too drunk to remember to lock it. Just the same Chris remembered to make sure he left it unlocked after walking in the door. Chris finished his chores early and walked back to his bedroom to pull out the video game system. Looking out the window he realized it was starting to get dark. It was too late for the neighbor boy to come over so Chris sat on the bed and heard the telltale rustle of the porno magazine under the mattress. He pulled it out and immediately opened to the centerfold. Rubbing his jean's fly and already feeling his penis getting erect, Chris quickly removed all his clothes and stretched out on the mattress. After a while he laid the magazine down and closed his eyes and slowly jacked himself off. Chris had learned now how to slowly make his dick harder and harder over many minutes while stretching his large hardon back and forth and caressing his scrotum (something he learned from Ben that one night). Groaning ever louder he realized that he was getting closer and closer to finishing what he started. The precum was flowing freely now making his big organ slick and shiny or so he imagined if he had been looking. Constantly changing the position of the naked female porno star in his head he got almost to the point of shooting his load when he heard a small gasp. Gradually Chris opened his eyes holding his penis still and looked around the dimly lit bedroom in trepidation. Sure enough there in the doorway stood the young neighbor boy. Shocked but not wanting to frighten the boy further Chris frantically thought of what to do. If the boy ran screaming out of the apartment the whole world would know what happened by the next day. Calming himself Chris continued to hold his erection that desperately wanted release, and then he looked at the 9 year old frozen in the doorway again. The boy's eyes were riveted to Chris' massive shining organ and his mouth had fallen open with the all too familiar `O'. Without a second thought Chris said to the boy, "Have the older boys shown you how to jack off yet?" The nine year old shook his head slowly from side to side without once taking his eyes off Chris' erection. "It's ok. I don't mind if you watch, just sit in the chair by the desk and don't say anything" Chris outlined and then thinking "Also don't you ever tell anyone what I show you or you'll be in big trouble" the bigger boy threatened. The little boy complied quickly and almost jumped into the chair by the desk. Ignoring the younger boy Chris continued to work his hardon back and forth. It was difficult to concentrate with a stranger boy in the room watching. Chris' naked body no longer disturbed him but still he didn't go around showing it off like this to just anyone that dropped by. He briefly peeked out his eyelids and saw the little boy still frozen in the chair mesmerized by Chris' enormous cock. Well Ben had always said that it was all the other guys would talk about forever, so the older boy decided to continue to ignore his young audience. Eventually Chris became more aroused than he had in a long time and when the ejaculate finally erupted from his massive spewing organ it came out over and over in long ropy waves hitting him, the headboard, and likely the desk too. Since that first night that Ben had given Chris his first experience of release he hadn't shot a load again as big as that until tonight for some reason. Oh God he thought `the desk'. Chris opened his eyes and looked straight at the chair -- it was empty. Sure enough a long thin trail of semen had been flung across the room and had hit the side of the chair immediately beside where the young boy had been sitting. Apparently the boy had run out just in time since it looked like the liquid on the chair was undisturbed. The next day Chris worried about the small boy, but his mother was just as friendly to Chris as ever and when Chris looked again he saw the little boy peek out the door, so he waved and said "Hi". The mother told the boy to quit being shy and come out to say `hello' to Chris. Reluctantly the boy obeyed his mother but kept his eyes on the floor as she and Chris spoke, "Honestly I don't know what has gotten into him today" the neighbor complained. Chris finally knelt down and smiled up at the little boy and said "It's Ok, I used to be shy just like you. Don't worry about it." He tried to project calm comfort to the little guy, then corrected himself for thinking of the young boy the same way Ben had thought of Chris. The shy boy seemed to still be afraid so Chris started to walk off. He turned around just before entering his apartment and looked back next door to see the boy entering their apartment behind his mother. Briefly the boy turned around and Chris thought his head was still bowed but then Chris realized that the kid was actually staring at his crotch. Chris just shook his head and smiled as he chuckled to himself and then walked inside. Until Chris met Max and with the exception of physical exams by medical staff or school personnel Chris never had another experience with any boys or men that he remembered just now. One last time Chris thought of Ben and tried to remember the last time he had seen his best friend and protector. "NO STOP, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK! FORGET HIM!" the voice, his voice, screamed at him uncontrollably. Suddenly his sight dimmed and Chris felt his legs go weak, he desperately grabbed for anything and crashed against the living room wall. "Chrisy!" a faint voice shouted at him. And then everything went dark. He was in either 6th grade or 7th grade now -- his body was much bigger now he knew instinctively, but now, just now, he felt tiny and helpless and he was shivering, his clothes were all torn up. He was frightened and crying. Men, adults with gruff voices were talking and swearing nearby and he smelled cigarette smoke, heavy on the night air. His arms had been forced behind his back and something was binding them there. He couldn't feel his hands anymore and his arms were aching from the strain. He was looking at the ground and he had no shoes on and his feet were filthy. Where was this? He looked around briefly not wanting to attract the attention of the big men smoking nearby. He knew instinctively to fear these men. They were at an old gas station and across the street was a school sport's stadium; the kind you see at smaller schools like junior highs or middle schools, few if any grade schools had complexes like that but it certainly wasn't large enough for a high school. He was crying harder now with tears flowing ceaselessly down his face, he had no way of hiding his fear or his shame from anyone. He barely peeked up and suddenly realized that the two adult men who were still smoking had stopped talking and had started to look directly at him. Electricity shot through the boy making him nearly fall down -- so great was his fear now. Desperate to find any form of shelter he frantically searched for help anywhere around him. And then just as suddenly he recognized his friend, Ben, up against a lamp post on the other side of the white car. Ben's arms were behind his back too just like Chris, but now Chris could see and realized that someone had put handcuffs on Ben and cuffed him to the lamp post so he couldn't get away. "RUN! FORGET! FLY AWAY -- YOU CAN'T SAVE HIM! SAVE YOURSELF! HE FAILED" the voice, again his voice, was shouting so loud in the boy's head that he thought surely his brain must explode from the force of it. But the boy couldn't help himself, he had to see the truth and so he looked up and his eyes met those of his best friend, his protector Ben. Their eyes met and locked on each other. No, this wasn't Ben, it couldn't be. This boy was shaking, he was crying just as bad as Chris was. The tears were streaming now down his face and he was sobbing so hard it looked like he might not be able to continue breathing. Ben sight drifted away from Chris, if he had even seen him at all. He started to sag lifelessly away from the pole and began to fall. "BEN!" "Please somebody save him! BEN!" the boy screamed at the top of his lungs. He no longer cared who noticed him; he had to save Ben, his friend, his protector. Suddenly the bigger boy, who now seemed to be smaller somehow maybe no longer still bigger than Chris, seemed to rouse himself. "BEN!" the boy screamed again and thought the very shout would rupture his vocal cords. His throat ached to match his arms. The other boy now jerked upward as if someone had kicked him hard driving his body up. Ben's eyes snapped open and he seemed dazed, but still he searched his surroundings. "BEN!" "RUN BEN! GET AWAY NOW! PLEASE DON'T STAY FOR ME!" The older boy's eyes immediately locked on the younger boy. "Chris?" he rasped. The boy was obviously exhausted. He must have fought frantically when the men caught him. "Ben" Chris sobbed the energy now had almost exhausted him too, now that Ben was safe from collapse. Run? Why did he tell Ben to run? The boy was locked to a lamp pole -- there's no way he could have run. And then it happened; the adults -- the big men smoking began to laugh loudly and then jeer and shake their heads at the younger boy. "Run?" one of the men laughed. "Where to you little thief?" he snickered. Then the smaller big man started to walk toward Chris and the boy wanted to just curl into a tiny ball and disappear -- to hide from these fearful men. But there was nowhere to go. The boy was bound. If he has taken so much as 2 steps the much bigger men would be on him that instant. Suddenly as the men drew closer Chris gasp and cried "STAY AWAY!" The man stopped briefly but then just laughed harder, but Ben had heard Chris' cry. "YOU GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKERS! YOU LEAVE THE LITTLE GUY ALONE! I SWEAR, YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH HIM AND I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!" The frightened Ben was no where to be seen any longer. This was his best friend, the younger boy's protector and constant companion. Ben smashed his body up and against the lamp post so that he could stand on the tips of his toes to see over the car and to watch out for his younger friend. "KRISI. CHRIS, DID THEY HURT YOU? DID THEY TOUCH YOU?" the older boy shouted as he once again began to cry, the tears again streaming freely down his face. "I DON'T REMEMBER BEN!" Chris shouted back. "WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER BUBBA?" Chris begged his big brother. ---BUBBA--- the word echoed again in his mind. Ben slowly began to wilt once more. He was beginning to babble something almost incoherently now. "No no, he's just a little kid. He didn't do anything, please, please do it to me. He's innocent. Please don't hurt the little guy." Then the words became so much harder to hear and they seemed to fade into a distance, an unknown distance. "I'm so sorry Krisi, sorry, sorry, I tried, I tried, tried but failed. I couldn't stop them little guy. Please God do it now. I can't watch it again -- not when it's my little guy this time. PLEASE GOD KILL ME NOW!" Ben screamed at the heavens and then he collapsed downward. Chris could barely make out the boy's handcuffed arms raised at an impossible angle against the base of the light post. Ben's body and face were now hidden behind the fading white car that was quickly vanishing in heavy dark fog. And then he heard them. So distinct -- like they were right beside him now. One man snickered, "Hey your kind of one of those pretty boys aren't you -- you little thief". The other man laughed deeply, wickedly. And then terror shot through every fiber of the boy's being as if to attempt and blow him into pieces, `and a large rough hand smacked hard against the inside of his thigh and the voice asked "Do you remember? Did we ever search this little thief?" The last thing the younger boy heard was an answering laugh that seemed to go on and on and on, forever. ---BUBBA--- the last time he will ever hear Ben call him that again or him call Ben just so... "Bubba!" Max is crying and for some reason and he is holding Chris in his arms, but both men are lying on the ground although Max is sitting somewhat in order to keep Chris from collapsing completely to the floor. "Maxi?" the 16 year old weakly replies. "Oh god, Chrisy, I was so scared. You seemed to fall against the wall there and then all of a sudden you jerked straight up and screamed `BEN!'" Max explained. "Are you alright now, Chrisy, what happened to Ben, bubba?" The younger man slowly collapsed into the older man's arms. Arms around him that were protecting him just like before. He couldn't help it, he began to sob weakly, but the memories were being walled up again. `forget' that voice sighed into the distance. "Bubba?" Max hugged him tightly again. The same embrace his head in Chris' shoulder. "Please bubba, please won't you tell me what happened to you?" Max begged. Chris relaxed completely into his friend's arms, he was crying now, the 2 boys and the girls outside totally forgotten now. Again the arms crushed the boy against another's chest as if they could hold and protect him forever. The memory was almost gone now, almost all of it. The tears began to dry. Again Max pleaded one final time, "What did they do to you, Chrisy? Dear god in heaven, you have to tell me?" the young man begged so fiercely that it almost broke the boy's heart. No more tears now. I'm safe. It doesn't matter anymore. ---BUBBA--- Chris turned around, "Did you say something Maxi?" Max's eye were wet like he had been crying and Chris felt guilty because he knew that he had most likely caused that hurt. Still gazing into Max's eyes the boy saw several things there now that he didn't remember seeing in the past. The first was a look of utter defeat as if someone had beaten Max to the ground and would never let him get back up, but there was also something dark and smoldering and it made Chris quiver again in fear -- familiar fear -- it was rage, dark angry rage, something the boy had seen so often in his drunken father's eye just prior to each and every beating. Then Max seemed to freeze while he returned Chris' gaze -- as if he recognized the fear radiating from the boy -- and the third and final feeling that was so different from anything Chris had ever seen in Max's eyes before. Acceptance. Chris thought he might have seen something like this before, once or twice, in fleeting moments when Max didn't think Chris had caught the special look. And Max began to collapse into himself and the arms holding the boy lost much of their strength. The boy's sight had dropped to the weakening arms but Chris looked up again into those hazel eyes, so different from his own. At times a light brown that seemed to shine at other times deep dark and brooding almost black -- eyes that saw everything and shared nothing. No, these eyes were now a gentle brown like the light colored Texas soil, abiding, enduring, and nourishing what they can for as long as they can. And then again something in the eyes changed and again the strength had come back to the arms -- they drew the boy closer -- deeper into the hard metal eyes -- for some reason, while fearful, these eyes didn't frighten the boy like the ones that were sometimes black. "WHO IS BEN?" a firm resolved unforgiving voice came from the older man's throat. Who are you? The boy thought to himself. "TELL ME! NOW!" the steel voice and eyes command -- there was no way out of this -- no escape "WHO IS BEN I SAID!" it was not quite a shout, not intended to frighten the boy, but it did. -- no escape - they boy was held by the steel gaze of those hard dark brown eyes. And then in a final instant a flash in the eyes that the boy recognized again. Acceptance. Commitment. Judgment. The look you see in the eyes of authority just before the sentence is passed. ---BUBBA--- `I failed' "It's ok Maxi. I'm ok. Ben was my best friend in 5th grade, but you don't need to worry about him. He's dead." Chris' words echoed in his mind. He didn't know for certain if the words had been his but just looking, as he had the entire time, into the steel hard brown eyes he saw the difference. The eyes grew wide, impossibly wide. So much white was showing that the brown had faded to tan. And then Max started to shake. But his arms crushed the boy against him, frantic now, crushing the air from the big boy's body. Chris had prided himself on being an athlete for a number of years now. Never again would anyone call him a little guy. `little guy' what was so familiar about that phrase? Max was holding him and shaking as if the older man was sobbing. "Maxi? Can we get off the floor now?" Chris asked. In an instant the shaking stopped. The taller man stood up then, but tears were indeed on his face, but had stopped. "I want you lie down for few minutes, Chrisy. Will that be Ok?" Max asked. "Yea, that might be nice, Max. I feel kind of dizzy for some reason." Max walked the boy to his bedroom and watched over him as the strong virile young man crawled into his bed. "What about Jason, Ted and Emily?" Chris queried. "You don't need to worry about them. I'll tell them that you felt a little sick and asked to lie down for a moment but you'll get back up in a little while. Trust me, Chrisy, I think I can find enough around here to keep those kids entertained for that long" Max said. "Ok" Chris replied. And then his eyes felt heavy and he couldn't stop them closing. The last thing he saw from a slit in his eyes was Max reaching out and brushing the strong boy's dishwater brownish/blonde colored bangs out of his eyes. Why does that feel so nice, the boy thought to himself? Did I forget something again? That was his final thought and then the strong young man, so sure in himself, able to defend himself whenever he wanted -- a young man who didn't need anything or anyone, just quietly drifted off into a deep dreamless sleep. The older man waited until he was certain the boy was sound asleep. "Chris?" he asked quietly. The boy made no response. The older man quietly walked out of the room and then shut the door to the guest bedroom -- that was no longer for guests, so quietly it didn't make a sound. *** End of # 3 *** Continued... Footnotes: * Dear Readers: I can be a sympathetic author at this time of life, so I give you my promise. Anyone reading these stories can feel free to write to me at any time and ask if a specific `individual' occurrence or situation is entirely factual, fictional, or some of both. You may not ask for names, dates, descriptions, locations or anything that could or would permit a reader to identify a character or characters from my stories. I will tell you right now that there is more fact here than fiction, whether you choose to believe that or not is up to you the reader. Here are just a few examples to wet your whistle: * The apartment that Max and Chris first lived in? Fact or Fiction? Well I really feel guilty about giving this one away and it feels a little dangerous too because I absolutely do not want to divulge too much information, but... Basically fact. No there was no `private golf course' it was semi-private and across a major street from their complex. The basic layout of the apartment? Fact or Fiction? Again fact, except there was no game room / study in the 2nd one -- the one Max and Chris shared. That was only in the first apartment that Max lived in the night Chris slept over. So I hope you understood that Max had moved at least once in the story line so far, as has Chris. * Chris' childhood sexual experiences? Fact or Fiction? Christopher's initial sexual encounters, their numbers, the sexes involved the ages as mostly described and the bulk of what happened -- almost entirely fact to this point. Naturally there are something's that a young boy is very vague about describing in complete honest detail after so many years and believe me when I tell you that Max tried to pull every single one of them out of his young friend's memories. In the end Max has faith that the stories as related to him in later years by Chris had to be mostly true since Max did later meet some of the participants from the boy's past. I am still trying to tell you people that the boy detested male-on-male sex and still you just don't seem to see the light in the attic. UPDATE 7/1/2009: After a long conversation with `Chris' last night the boy wants to change his story. He now says that much of his tale of the encounter with the character we are calling `Ben', well `he enhanced the story' as he says. When asked why he would do such a thing, he simply replied, "It was what Maxi wanted to hear." Further discussion with `Max' however -- according to him, he had means of talking to sources, reliable sources, from the boy's past and says that `according to them the story as told is basically true'. Apparently `Ben' had at some point in time `spilled the beans' shall we say? Well what is a poor writer to do? What made up the character of `Ben' was also based on mostly fact so my advice is, believe what you want to the truth could go either way. That the reality behind `Ben', that he was brother, protector and at times teacher for `Chris' is well established and not in doubt. Also `Ben' was known to hug `Chris' at times and was seen doing so in public with witnesses -- so again their closeness is not in doubt. The most intimate details of their self `exploration' we may never know. * It's impossible for an 11 year old boy like Chris to have a first time encounter with a bigger older boy like Ben and then suddenly turn curious if he was always afraid of male-on-male interaction. Fact or Fiction? Sorry to disappoint, but pretty much all fact there. You have to understand that the 16 year old Chris is confident, athletic, proud of his body with his weaknesses being occasional uncertainty and naivety and his inability to face up to childhood trauma. So much of life passed this boy by and so he seems very immature at times because you want to believe he can handle it when he can't -- and yet other situations that you think might shatter him he sails through without a scratch. On the other hand the torments and agonies of 6, 7 and even 8 year old Chris are 100% real. In overall body size and muscle mass, Chris was a very late bloomer, however the boy actually developed pubic hair by 1st grade -- not later. I change'd that because I was absolutely certain no one would believe me. The stories about little Chris' sexual development are in fact understated -- NOT overstated. And his torments for developing those physical attributes so early are also understated. Suffice it to say Max did attend some of Chris' annual school physicals and others for various reasons and on more than one occasion it still left a fairly grown up Chris near tears from the wrongness of what the boy endure. Twice Max told the physician to "Fuck Off", grabbed Chris' hand and stormed out of the office. * By the way there is something left out of Max's past but I will drop a hint. Max is very comfortable in medical settings and knows exactly what is and isn't appropriate for a professional Doctor, Nurse or other such professionals in authority. More things occurred in Chris' life that were totally out of line, definitely unnecessary, and very possibly illegal. All kinds of folks, whose business it most certainly was NOT, were literally fascinated by this boy's endowments. Again MAX WAS THERE at times. CHANGED PER REQUEST 7/1/2009: The last straw was when 40 male interns and doctors descended on the poor boy and spent 4 hours with him stripped naked on his hospital bed completely exposed while they took turns messaging, fondling, stroking and then laughing and having open discussions about the boy's attributes while he lay there helplessly listening in shock. XXXXXremovedXXXXX The hospital and doctors suffered greatly for that -- to the point that the female nursing staff afterwards at this major facility began openly accusing some of those in a certain department of being homosexuals which lead the urology department to begin offering their young male patients the choice of male doctors or female nurses for ongoing medical treatment requiring rigorous medical examination and in-room treatments. Not only were male staff band from that point forward from Chris' room, but a guard was actually posted by hospital administration to ensure that only family and female nursing staff attended to the boy's needs. XXX * Are you telling me that 12 year old Chris jacked off in front of a 9 year old neighbor boy for real? Fact or Fiction? Come on would I lie to you now? Not only is it totally factual, but I had to actually tone it down because I just didn't want to go that far even though both young boys were totally consenting minors. No there was zero coercion, don't even imagine it. * Regarding Ben. No I don't think I am going to answer that one so don't even bother me with it, you will just have to wait and see.
