**AUTHOR'S NOTE**

Only about a month this time! Don't get used to it. :) It's a rather long
chapter. I hope you enjoy.

Constructive feedback welcome, as always. Fans often provide me with
excellent ideas for chapters. Plus, until I can figure out how to get paid
for writing porn, your messages are the greatest encouragement I have to
put these ideas to "paper," instead of keeping them in my head.

"So what's the deal with you and Stephanie?"

Nico paused the game and turned to Gary. "What do you mean?"

It was Labor Day weekend, and the pool party and cookout hosted by the
Becks was winding down. Most of the guests had left, and the boys had
retired to Drew's room to play videogames.

"Are you actually, like, boyfriend/girlfriend, or is it like with Elena
where you hung out sometimes, but it didn't go anywhere?"

"Wow. Show some tact, Gary," Matt said with a laugh.

Gary laughed. "What? I'm just curious. I don't get to see you guys every
day anymore, so I can't beat around the bush."

"Definitely not like with Elena," Drew said.

Nico shot an irritated glance at Drew. He hadn't talked to anyone except
Drew about Stephanie.

"Oops." Drew blushed. "Sorry."

"Oh really?" Matt joined in with the questions. "What have you been holding
back from us?"

It was Nico's turn to blush. "Not much, really. I guess you could say she's
my girlfriend."

"And...?"

"And what? It's not like we've had sex or anything. Mostly a lot of making
out and touching."

"And...?" Gary pressed.

Nico sighed. "Mostly just hands, guys, sorry."

"What? Not even a blowjob?" Matt was shocked and disappointed.

"Kind of. She's sucked the head, but won't go any further."

"So she DOES know why they call you 'Horse'?" Gary grinned.

Nico rolled his eyes. "Yes, Gary. She's seen my dick. Held it in her
hands. Jerked it off."

"But no real sex?" Matt pressed.

Nico laughed. "I think her exact words were, 'I think that will hurt.' So
no, no real sex."

"Poor Nico. Big dick problems." Drew grinned at his best friend.

"You need to find a sluttier girl, then," Matt said.

"Not really my type, man," Nico said. "I'll leave the sluts to you guys."
He grinned at Gary and Matt.

"Well, an older girl, then, or at least someone who's not a virgin."

Nico shrugged. "Maybe. I like Stephanie, so I'm not going to run out and
find some other girl just to be able to say I had sex."

"Why not? That's what I did," Matt said.

"Yeah, and that's why you don't have a girlfriend," Drew said. "Just a
bunch of throwaways."

"No problem with that." Gary grinned. "I finally decided to follow Matt's
example. Way more opportunities at my school. Not everyone knows everyone,
like at your school. Tends to make the girls a little more willing."

"Lucky you," Nico responded sarcastically.

"So Elena's still with that guy from her camp or whatever?" Gary asked.

Nico nodded. "According to her Facebook, yeah." Elena was his first big
crush, and despite his burgeoning relationship with Stephanie, he sometimes
still wished Elena were available.

"Should have made your move when you had a chance. She was totally into
you." Matt shook his head. "Too bad."

"Maybe. I wasn't ready then. Too shy about everything."

"Good thing you're finally getting over that." Drew smiled at Nico.

"It was you and Gary that helped me get over that. That first night on
Skype with Rachel. It was eye-opening."

"Glad we could help." Gary laughed.

"That's great and all," Matt said, "but you still have a big problem that's
not going to go away."

"What's that?"

"What do you think? I'm not nearly as big as you, and the first time I had
sex with a girl, a virgin, it kind of hurt her. You might not want to go
off and find some slut or whatever, but maybe you should. You gotta learn
to use that piece sometime, and I don't think it'll be much fun with a
virgin, especially if you don't know what you're doing."

"Hmm." Nico looked thoughtfully out the window. His parents and the Becks
were still swimming in the pool. Could he ask his dad about it?

"You think we can get back to the game?" Drew asked. "If you're done
grilling Nico about his sex life, that is."

Gary grinned. "Don't you want to know about mine?"

"Or maybe yours, Drew," Matt suggested.

"Uh...no thanks."

Matt laughed. "There's gotta be someone you like."

Drew blushed. "Maybe there is."

"He has been spending a lot of time with Angela," Nico said.

"Martinez?" Matt asked.

Nico nodded.

"She's cute!"

Drew blushed again. "We're just friends."

"But you don't have to be." Gary winked.

"Okay, so back to the game." Drew ended the discussion.

*****

A couple hours later, Matt and Gary were gone, and Nico's parents came in
to say good-bye to their son. It was Sunday night, but since there was no
school on Monday due to Labor Day, his parents had allowed Nico to spend
the night at Drew's.

The two friends lay next to each other on Drew's new, larger bed.

"This is way more comfortable than the air mattress," Nico said. It was the
first time Nico had spent the night since Drew's parents had surprised him
with a new bed.

"I know, right? It's one of those memory foam mattresses or something."
Drew pressed his hand against the sheet to show Nico how the mattress
formed around it.

"Fancy." Nico rearranged the pillows under his back and leaned against the
headboard with his muscular legs stretched out in front him and crossed at
the ankles. His khaki shorts bulged noticeably.

They watched TV in silence for a while.

"Soccer tryouts are coming up, huh?" Drew asked.

Nico took a deep breath. "Yep. I'm kind of nervous still."

"Don't be dumb. You're gonna make the team. At least JV. I'm pretty sure
Faggi wouldn't have stuck his neck out for you if he didn't think you could
do it."

"I guess. Maybe."

"Plus, you've been staying late after CUFC for extra practice with Jamie
and Paden."

"Mr. Ihlanfeldt. Or at least Coach Paden." Nico corrected Drew and
grinned. "We can't just call him by his first name, now that he's our
teacher."

Drew laughed. "I guess that's true." He was silent for a moment. "I still
think you should talk to Brett. He's goalie, and since your try-out will
probably involve going against him, it might be helpful."

"I know. It's just we haven't really talked in, you know, over a year. Even
though we're at the same school now. I feel kind of weird just going up to
him and saying, 'Hey, wanna help me make the team?'"

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind. We've seen him working with Faggi in the
afternoons sometimes, even though there's no official practice, yet."

Nico nodded.

There was a knock on the door, and Mr. Beck entered. "Time for bed, boys."

"What? There's no school tomorrow," Drew protested.

"I know, but you don't want your sleep schedule off, because you WILL have
to get up for school on Tuesday morning."

"Ugh. Fine."

"Night, guys." Mr. Beck left the room.

Drew took off his shorts and shirt and got back into bed wearing only his
boxers. Nico, always wary of showing too much when he was staying at
someone else's house, changed into his pajama pants.

"You know, you could just wear your underwear," Drew said. "It's not like
anyone's going to be coming back in."

"Yeah, and in the morning when I head to the bathroom, I can stun your
parents with my bulging underwear."

Drew laughed. "It's not like they haven't seen it before. Remember that
time you were hanging out of your boxers?"

"I hate you."

Drew laughed harder. "Get the light, will you?"

Nico turned off the light and climbed into the bed next to his friend. He
sighed. "Definitely better than the air mattress."

They lay awake for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling. Finally, Drew
turned to Nico and said, "It's too bad about Stephanie."

Nothing Nico had said to Matt and Gary had surprised Drew; they had talked
about it before, but he enjoyed hearing Nico talk about his sexual
desires. And frustrations.

"What?" Nico turned on his side and faced Drew. He raised himself on his
elbow.

"That she's not into doing more adventurous things." Drew grinned.

Nico laughed. "But you knew that already."

"True. I guess I can see where she's coming from."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the whole size issue. That's gotta be scary for a girl, right?"

"Apparently!" Nico laughed again. "I hadn't thought much about it, I
guess. Like you said, though, big dick problems. There are worse things."

"Maybe Matt is right."

"About what?"

"About you finding someone more experienced or something, so that when you
do it with someone you care about, it's not...bad."

Nico sighed. "I don't know. If I weren't actually, you know, going out with
Stephanie, I'd probably do it, but wouldn't it be cheating now?"

Drew nodded. "I guess so. Too bad."

"And don't let those guys bother you too much about Angela."

Drew laughed. "Well that was an abrupt change."

"Sorry. I just know Gary and Matt were giving you a hard time. It can be
scary when you really like someone who's also a friend. You don't want to
mess up the friendship."

Drew smiled at Nico. "Yeah. That's definitely true."

Nico returned the smile. "Night, Drew." Nico lay back down and closed his
eyes.

"Night, Horse."

Nico punched Drew in the arm.

*****

"Hey, Coach." Nico and Drew knocked on the door to Paden's room. They had
Paden's class first on Tuesday, but they were a little early and didn't
want to interrupt him.

"Hey, guys." Paden looked up from his desk and waved them in. "You're
early. What's going on?"

"Did you watch the FSU game Saturday?" Nico asked.

"What do you think?" Paden grinned.

Drew chuckled. "What'd you think?"

"It was a little too close for comfort, honestly. We're going to have to do
better if we want to repeat."

Nico nodded. "Yeah. Barely winning over an unranked team...we were a little
stressed out, too."

The bell rang, and Drew and Nico headed to their seats as the rest of the
class filed in.

The freshman-level history course at Collins Prep was called Western
Civilization. Paden had spent the first couple of weeks getting to know the
students and discussing pre-history. Now, he was moving on to the Greeks.

"So what can you guys tell me about the ancient Greeks?" Paden asked.

"They used weird letters," one student called out.

"True, Stephanie. Still do, in fact, but let's raise our hands."

Nico raised his hand.

"Nico?"

"They were conquered by the Romans." Nico grinned.

Paden chuckled. "Also true, but they did a lot before that happened."

Travis raised his hand. Paden pointed at him. "They were a bunch of homos."

Several students gasped. Paden gave Travis a stern look. "Let's be a little
less provocative, Travis, or you'll find yourself in the office having a
conversation with Dr. Brill."

"But it's true, isn't it?" Travis persisted.

"It's a little more complicated than that, actually. The ancient Greeks
didn't really use labels for sexuality the way we do. They also had a
different set of ideas about permissible sexual behavior. Yes, homosexual
behavior was practiced by several ancient cultures, but the relationships
were different. In fact, in some ways it was nothing like what people think
of as 'gay' now."

"How so?" Angela asked.

"First, we need to understand that the Greeks aren't a single
culture. There were a lot of different city-states with different
customs. Usually, though, when we say Greeks, we're referring to the
Athenians. For them, a homosexual relationship was often between an older
man and a younger man, but it was also a mentor relationship, not just
sex. Many also believed that women were very inferior to men, so the best
and most fulfilling relationship could only be had with another man. Even
so, you were expected to get married and have children, and it was
considered odd and unmanly if you didn't. And other places in Greece had
different opinions."

"Great. So they weren't just homos, they were perverts, too," Travis
muttered quietly.

"What was that, Travis?" Paden locked eyes with him.

"Nothing, sorry." Travis folded his arms and sat back in his seat.

"Okay, then." Paden paused. "Let's get back on track. We're really not here
to talk about the sexual habits of the ancient Greeks and Romans. This
class is about western civilization. It's impossible to separate the Greeks
from that. Their influence was too great. Examples?"

The remainder of the period touched briefly on the many ways that Greek
civilization influenced western civilization in general. A foundation had
been laid for the next few weeks of class.

*****

The bell rang to end the day, and Nico met Drew at his locker.

"I'm going to run to the locker-room to see if I can catch Brett to ask him
about practice. Will your mom wait?"

Drew laughed. "I don't think she'll leave without you. Just hurry. Give me
your bag."

Nico handed Drew his backpack and ran towards the locker-room.

The school had two locker-rooms for each gender. The "upper" locker-rooms
were near the gym and were used for PE classes and court-based sports. The
"lower" locker-rooms were in a field house for use by whichever field
sports were in season. Since the football team would be in the lower
locker-room, Nico assumed he would find Brett in the upper locker-room.

At first, Nico thought the room was empty, but then he heard a locker door
open. He walked past the rows of lockers towards the back of the room.

"Brett?" Nico said. He turned the corner at the last row of lockers and
came to an abrupt stop. He gasped, shocked to see Paden standing in front
of a locker and drying himself.

"Paden. I mean, Coach. Mr. Ihlanfeldt," Nico stammered. "I didn't realize
you were here. I was looking for Brett or Coach Faggi."

Paden laughed. "What's with the stutter, Nico?"

"Sorry. I just didn't expect to see..." Nico's eyes fell to Paden's crotch
"you. What are you doing?"

Paden hung his towel in the locker and turned to Nico. "Getting dressed."

Nico's couldn't help but stare at Paden. His coach's soft cock was hanging
almost halfway down his muscular thigh. He was impressed and a little
jealous. Paden's dick was the first he had seen in person that was bigger
than his own.

Paden noticed Nico staring, but said nothing. "That was a joke, dude."

"What?" Nico realized he had been staring at Paden's crotch. He blushed and
looked up. "Oh. Right."

"I usually go to the weight room to workout during my planning period. It's
empty, so I get the place to myself, and no PE classes, so the locker-room
is free, too."

Paden pulled on his boxer-briefs. "Are you okay, Nico?"

"Yes. Just embarrassed, I guess."

"Because you saw me changing? I'm sure it's not the first time you've seen
another guy changing in the locker-room."

"No, you're right. But never a coach. A teacher. I was just shocked."

"I get that a lot." Paden winked at Nico and laughed. "But seriously, it's
not a big deal. At least to me. My coach sometimes showered with the team
after practice, so I'm used to coaches and students changing
together. Sorry to embarrass you."

Paden finished getting dressed.

"So...you come here every day? And no one else has ever seen you?"

"Nope. You're the first. And like I said, it wouldn't bother me much if
they did."

Nico shook his head. "Sorry. I'm still kind of freaked."

"Well, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"No, it's okay. It's not a big deal. So Brett isn't in here?"

Paden shook his head. "Haven't seen him. Why?"

"I was going to see about practicing with him, you know, since he's
goalie. Try-outs are coming up soon."

Paden nodded. "Well, he might be down at the field. Want me to go down
there with you?"

Nico shook his head. "No, I gotta get back. Drew and his mom are waiting
for me."

"Alright, man. See you tomorrow. And seriously, it's not a big deal. Don't
be freaked out."

Nico smiled at Paden. "Thanks."

Nico hurried out of the locker-room and to the parking lot to find Drew and
his mom.

"Sorry, Mrs. Beck," Nico said as he climbed into the backseat.

"No problem, Nico." Drew's mom smiled at Nico in the rearview mirror.

"Did you talk to Brett?" Drew turned around and looked at Nico.

"He wasn't in there."

"What took so long then?"

"I ran into Paden."

"COACH Paden, remember?" Drew grinned at Nico. "In the locker-room?"

"Yeah."

"What was he doing?"

Nico blushed. He glanced quickly at Mrs. Beck. He couldn't tell the truth
in front of Drew's mom. "Looking for Coach Faggi, strangely enough."

"Hmm." Drew examined Nico's face. He could tell that something else had
happened, something that embarrassed his friend. "Okay."

A few minutes later, they were at Nico's house.

Nico grabbed his backpack and got out of the car. "Want to come over for
dinner?"

"Can I, Mom?"

"As long as Dani is okay with it."

"I'll text you." Nico went inside to start on his homework.

*****

A couple hours later, Drew knocked on the Cavallonis' door.

"Hey Drew. I'm glad you could come." Nico's mom moved aside, so Drew could
enter.

"Thanks for having me over." Drew smiled and stepped by Nico's mom.

"My pleasure. Nico has eaten so many dinners at your place, I figured I
should repay the favor."

"Where is Nico?"

"Out back with his dad. Dinner's not quite ready."

Drew followed Mrs. Cavalloni into the kitchen and continued into the
backyard. He stood on the porch and watched Nico and his dad practice
dribbling and passing the soccer ball. The Cavalloni men were sweating
profusely in the heat and humidity of late summer in Florida. Their
t-shirts clung tightly to their bodies. Despite the support of the
compression shorts, which peeked out of the legs of their nylon soccer
shorts, Drew could see the bulges of the two Italian men swayed as they
ran.

Drew thought about what Paden had said about the Greeks and the
relationship between an older man and a younger man. He had often
considered what it would be like with Mr. Cavalloni, touching his hard,
muscled body. He had often wondered about Mr. Cavalloni's cock. Was it
shaped like Nico's? Did it have the same curve? The same flared head? How
much bigger was it?

So it wasn't the first time he had imagined what sex with his best friend's
dad might be like, but it was the first time he didn't feel weird about
it. If the Greeks could do it, why couldn't he?

Nico saw Drew and came to a stop. He picked up the soccer ball and jogged
towards the porch. His dad followed.

"Hey!" Nico panted. "Didn't realize you were here."

Drew smiled. "Just got here. I didn't want to interrupt to the father-son
ball time."

"You could have joined us," Mr. Cavalloni came up behind his son and put
his hand on his shoulder.

Drew gestured to his flip-flops. "These aren't much good for soccer."

Mr. Cavalloni grinned. "Good point. That's okay. We should probably head
upstairs and shower, anyway."

"Yeah, Mom doesn't like it when we come to dinner sweaty."

"And smelly." Drew held his nose.

Nico sniffed his arms. "I don't smell. Yet." He smiled. "Come on."

Drew followed Nico upstairs. Mr. Cavalloni stayed in the kitchen. "Ugh. Get
off me, you're all sweaty," Drew heard Mrs. Cavalloni say with a laugh.

Nico stripped down and went into his bathroom. Drew lay down on Nico's bed
and stared at the ceiling. He imagined the water running over Nico's
body. His cock started to get hard. He reached down and rubbed his dick
through his shorts.

Mr. Cavalloni suddenly opened the door. Drew quickly removed his hand from
his crotch. "You need anything Drew?"

Drew sat up and looked at Mr. Cavalloni. He was blushing, but Mr. Cavalloni
just smiled at him. Either he hadn't realized what Drew was doing, or he
was hiding it very well.

"I'm good, thanks. Just waiting for Nico."

"Okay. Shower-time for me, too, I guess. Dani wasn't too impressed with the
sweatiness just now." He flashed Drew another smile and then closed the
door.

"Great," Drew muttered. "Now I'll have that image, too. Ugh." He tried to
focus on something other than the two athletic Italian men showering
nearby.

By the time the water went off in Nico's bathroom, Drew's hard-on had gone
away. Nico came out of the bathroom naked, toweling his hair dry. He tossed
the towel on the desk chair and went to his dresser. He had changed in
front of Drew and other guys many times, so he felt little need for
modesty. He opened his underwear drawer and paused. It was true that he had
been naked in the locker-room many times and had seen many different
guys. Why had running into Paden shaken him so much?

Drew stared at Nico's round, smooth ass. "You okay, man?"

Nico looked over his shoulder. "Oh. Yeah. Just started thinking about
something."

"Well, you might want to get dressed. I just heard your dad's shower go
off, so I bet it's about time for dinner. Unless you usually eat naked."

Nico grinned at Drew and pulled out a pair of underwear. "Sorry. Not when
we have company," he teased.

*****

After dinner, the boys returned to Nico's room. Nico sat in his desk chair,
and Drew sat on the bed.

"Okay, Nico, tell me what happened this afternoon."

"How do you know something happened?"

"I think I know you well enough by now to tell when something is bothering
you."

Nico smiled at Drew. "Yeah, I guess you probably do."

"So you went to the locker-room looking for Brett and...?"

"Well, like I said, I ran into Coach Paden." He paused. Drew looked at him
expectantly. "And he had just come out of the showers and was changing."

"Okay..."

"And so I saw him. Completely naked. It freaked me out."

Drew laughed. "What? Why?"

Nico shrugged. "Dunno. I just know that it shocked me. I stood there
staring like an idiot for like five minutes."

"Five minutes?"

"Okay, probably like five seconds, but it felt like five minutes."

Drew laughed again. "You've seen other guys changing in the locker-room
before. There has to be something else."

Nico felt his face get warm. "I know, but I've never seen a coach or
teacher like that. And..." he paused again.

"And...?"

"Remember how you googled him after we got our schedules and you actually
figured out how to spell his last name?"

Drew nodded.

"Remember that picture? That t-shirt?"

"Oh. Really?" One of the pictures they had found of Paden was from college
and showed him wearing a green shirt that read "Half-man" with an arrow
pointing upwards and "Half-horse" with an arrow pointing downwards.

Nico nodded.

"Okay. So big deal. The shirt wasn't a joke like we thought."

"Well, okay. I guess I was actually just shocked."

"Shocked?"

Nico chuckled nervously. "By his size. The biggest I've ever seen in
person. Soft, but like halfway down his thigh, I swear."

Drew smiled. He had suspected that the shirt hadn't really been a joke, and
he was glad to be right. "So you guys have something else in common besides
a love of soccer."

Nico laughed. "That wasn't the point."

"I know, but it's true. What was the point again?"

"That it was weird to see a teacher naked in the locker-room, and it
freaked me out, and I think he caught me staring!"

"Well, what did he say?"

"Basically that I shouldn't be freaked out, that it wasn't weird to see
someone naked in the locker-room, even a teacher. I guess his coach
sometimes showered with them."

"Really?" Drew was surprised but intrigued.

Nico shrugged. "That's what he said."

"Look. I can see why you would have been shocked to see Paden like
that. Obviously it's not something we see every day. And I don't think
staring is a big deal. It makes sense. You finally met someone bigger than
you. It sounds like he wasn't bothered by any of it. Even if he did see you
staring, he's probably used to it. Kind of like you are."

"I guess."

Drew nodded. "Exactly. Remember when Coach Faggi gave us that talk in
seventh grade about the locker-room? How it's only weird if you make it
weird? You're making it weird for some reason."

"You're right. I'm being dumb." Nico sighed. "Want to go downstairs and
play something?"

"Nah. I mean, yes, I want to, but I gotta get home and finish my homework."

"You didn't do it before you came over?"

"Not all of us are as studious and disciplined as you are, my friend." Drew
grinned.

Nico rolled his eyes. "I just hate having things hanging over my head like
that. Get it done. Why put it off?"

"Some of us work better under pressure."

"Some of us are just lazy."

"Fuck you." Drew smiled.

"No time. You gotta go do your homework. If only you had done it before you
came over." Nico grinned at Drew.

*****

Nico found Brett during lunch at school the next day.

"Hey, Horse," Brett said with a grin as Nico approached his table. There
were several sophomores and juniors at the table with Brett. "Thought you'd
forgotten you knew me."

The guys at the table chuckled. A couple looked confused.

Nico blushed. He didn't know any of the guys at the table except by name,
and Brett's use of his nickname was a little embarrassing.

"So what's up, Nico?" Brett asked.

"Well, I know that you practice with Coach Faggi sometimes after school,
and I was wondering if I could maybe join in for the next few weeks, before
try-outs start."

"Sure, why not? It'll be good to change it up a bit. I can pretty much
block Faggi every time now."

Nico smiled. "Great! Thanks. When? I looked for you in the locker-room
yesterday, but you weren't there."

"Yeah, we usually do Wednesdays and Fridays. Wednesdays the football team
is in the weight room after school, and Fridays they have games, so we can
use the lower room those days."

"Oh, okay. That makes sense. Well, I can't do it today. I gotta make
arrangements with my parents, but probably on Friday."

Brett smiled. "Sure. Just let me know."

Nico returned to his table and sat down next to Stephanie.

"So what'd he say?" Drew asked.

"They practice on Wednesdays and Fridays. I'll talk to my parents, see if I
can start on Friday."

"How will you get home?" Stephanie asked. She knew that Drew and Nico
car-pooled.

Nico shrugged. "Not sure. Maybe my parents will be able to pick me up. I
guess it depends on how late they practice."

"Don't practice too late this Friday," Matt said. "We have that party at
Gary's house."

"Oh yeah. I still gotta ask my parents about that, too."

Drew waved Angela over. She sat across from him.

"What're we talking about?" she asked.

"Nothing interesting," Stephanie said.

"Well, want to talk interesting?" Angela asked. "How about Travis yesterday
in Western Civ?"

"I don't know if that was really interesting so much as over-compensating,"
Matt said.

"What do you mean?" Stephanie asked.

Matt shrugged. "You know they say that the most homophobic people are often
gay themselves, so..."

"You think Travis is gay?" Nico asked.

"No idea. Could be."

Angela glanced at Drew. He looked uneasy.

"Well, there's something else interesting. I decided to look into what
Mr. Ihlanfeldt was saying about the Greeks," Angela said.

"Oh geez. Why?" Stephanie asked. "You're so weird."

Angela shrugged. "I was interested. You know, how different their attitude
towards sex was." She looked around the table. "What? No one else
wondered?"

"I didn't give it much thought," Matt answered. "Seems pretty easy to
imagine what it was like. And since I don't think there will be any
questions on the test about Greek sex, I didn't think about it beyond what
Mr. Ihlanfeldt said in class."

"Okay, Angela," Drew said, "tell us what's so interesting."

"Well, Mr. Ihlanfeldt was right about there being a big variety of
attitudes towards gay stuff."

"Imagine that," Nico said sarcastically. "The teacher was right."

The bell rang to end lunch.

"Damn. Looks like we'll have to wait to hear what Angela discovered." Matt
grinned.

"I'll just ask about it during class, just to make sure you have to hear
it." Angela stuck out her tongue.

"Great way to end the day," Stephanie said with a laugh.

Due to the school's rotating schedule, they would have Paden's class last
on Wednesday, since they had it first on Tuesday. On Thursday, it would be
the second to last period class and continue moving up the day until it
reached first period again.

True to her word, Angela raised her hand before Paden had a chance to begin
class.

"Yes?" Paden pointed to Angela.

"I was doing some research into the stuff we talked about yesterday, and I
have some questions."

"Great. I'm glad you did some work on your own. We'll be spending the next
few weeks talking about Greek history and culture, so I'm sure we'll get to
your questions at some point."

"No, not about that. About the homosexuality thing."

"Ahh. Okay. I should have guessed that you didn't go home and google Greek
influences on politics or literature."

"Well, I did that, too."

Matt leaned over and whispered to Drew, "Your girlfriend is kind of a
nerd."

"She's not my girlfriend," Drew whispered back.

"Angela, unfortunately, this isn't the right time for us to discuss those
questions. If you have legitimate questions, you can see me after class,
and, depending on what they are, I can answer them or point you to reliable
resources. Okay?"

Angela nodded. "Okay."

*****

"Maybe you could ride your bike on Wednesdays and Fridays," Drew
suggested. He and Nico were sitting next to each on the edge of his pool.

Nico's parents approved of his desire for extra practice, but their class
schedules at the university made it impossible for them to pick him up
before 5. Once real practice started, that wouldn't be a problem, but
Brett's unofficial practice with Coach Faggi usually ended by 4:30.

"Or I could just wait around until my parents can come and get me. The
library stays open until 5, so that people can study or whatever. I'll just
go there and do my homework." Nico lazily kicked his feet in the water.

"True. I could hang around, too, maybe actually get my homework done
early." Drew grinned at Nico.

Nico laughed. "You'd just end up playing on the Internet and still wouldn't
get anything done."

"You know me so well. Still, if you wanted me to, I wouldn't mind. Angela
walks to school and often stays late in the library to do her
homework. Maybe her good study habits will rub off on me."

"Maybe that won't be the only thing rubbing." Nico grinned.

"Ugh. I told you guys, she's just a friend."

"Yeah, yeah. That's why you're so eager to stay late with her."

"Whatever," Drew said, but he was thinking, No, I'm eager to stay late, so
that I can spend more time with you. He lowered himself into the pool.

"I like these days when we don't have very much homework and can just
relax." He pushed off the wall and swam to the other side of the pool. He
climbed out and grabbed the basketball. "You getting in?"

Nico got into the pool and swam towards Drew. Drew jumped back into the
water and tossed the ball to Nico.

"Speaking of Angela," Nico said, "did she really research that stuff she
said?" He shot the ball at the net. It bounced off the backboard; Drew
grabbed it when it hit the water.

Drew nodded. "Yep. Like Matt said, she's kind of a nerd." He laughed. "She
told me a bunch of what she found out."

Drew sunk a basket, and Nico grabbed the ball.

"Like what?" Nico asked casually. He didn't want to seem too interested,
but something about the discussion had resonated with him. He had long ago
stopped being troubled by the gay stuff he had done with his friends, but
hearing that it was common and accepted behavior for other cultures for
such a long time was comforting in some way.

"Like one of the elite fighting forces in ancient Greece was a group of 150
homosexual couples."

"Really? And a couple thousand years later, we're just now letting openly
gay people in the army." Nico again missed his shot.

"You're off today, bro. Try actually aiming for the basket next time."

Nico tossed the ball to Drew. "Yeah, yeah. Not like we're keeping score."

"Oh, another thing that I thought was kind of weird, and strangely maybe
helpful for you."

"This should be interesting."

Drew grinned. "Apparently when two guys had sex, it wasn't always...you
know, ass fucking, like you would think."

"So they also sucked dick? Big surprise."

"That's not what I mean. Angela said that they did something called
'intercural,' or something like that."

"That doesn't sound like a real thing. 'Intercural'?"

"Maybe it was something else. I'll ask Angela. Anyway, it means between the
thighs."

"So...one guy put his dick between the other guy's thighs and fucked them?"

Drew shrugged. "I guess. I didn't ask for specifics. She said there's
pottery that shows it."

Nico laughed. "Are you serious? Pornographic pottery?"

"I guess so."

"How does this help me? Except that now I'm going to go home and google
'Greek pottery sex' to see what else they show."

"You could, you know, maybe try that with Stephanie, since she's afraid of
actual sex."

"Ooh. I see."

"At least it'd be something different, right?"

"That's a very interesting thought." Nico smiled at Drew. "I knew there was
a reason I kept you around."

"To do your thinking for you?"

"Exactly."

*****

Friday afternoon, Nico headed down to the field locker-room. He heard a
locker door slam and headed down the rows to find Brett, who had already
changed into his gear.

"'Bout time, Horse," Brett said with a grin.

"I wish you wouldn't call me that in public, like at lunch the other day."
Nico found an empty locker and started to change.

"Why not? I thought you liked it."

"I don't mind it, it's just I don't know any of those people. It felt
weird."

"Well, get over it. People are gonna know."

"I've been trying to 'get over it.' Sometimes it still bothers me, though."

"Where's Faggi?" Nico laced up his cleats.

"He can't actually come today. Some meeting at the middle school that he
had to attend, so it's just us."

"Oh, cool." Nico followed Brett out onto the field.

For the next hour and a half, Nico practiced dribbling and shooting. Brett
was not only tall, but also rather quick. He moved easily across the net
and, thanks to his long reach, was able to block a number of shots that
should have sailed over his head. Brett's skills had definitely improved
since middle school, but the right corner remained his weakness, and
despite his height and speed, Nico was able to get a few shots past him.

Brett caught Nico's final shot. "Whew. I think that's enough for today."
Both boys were dripping sweat.

"Agreed." Nico followed Brett to the sideline and grabbed his water bottle.

"That was fun," Brett said.

"Yeah, it was." Nico grinned. "You're still slow on the right."

"I know. The peripheral vision in my right eye isn't good for some
reason. Been working on it."

Nico laughed. "Should you really be playing goalie then?"

"Why not? I'm still pretty good."

Nico shrugged. "That's true, but as soon as the opponent figures out the
right side thing..."

"Maybe. Just don't go advertising it, and we'll be fine."

Nico picked up his phone. "Still have a while before my parents get here. I
guess I should shower and meet Drew in the library."

"Drew's here?" Brett sounded surprised.

"In the library doing his homework, supposedly, but probably just fucking
around. He's easily distracted."

"Why didn't he come play? Is he going to try out for the team?"

Nico shook his head. "I don't think so. He doesn't think he's good enough
to make it. This is a little more competitive than middle school where, you
know, everyone made the team." Nico laughed. "I wouldn't be here
otherwise."

"True, but still, it might be worth it to try out. He could probably make
JV, at least."

"I'll talk to him." Nico stood up and offered his hand to Brett. "Shower
time?" He helped Brett to his feet, and the two returned to the
locker-room.

The showers in the lower locker-room were different from the middle school
showers Nico was used to. Each was its own stall with a full wall instead
of the half-wall that was used in middle school. All of the stalls had
curtain rods, but several were missing curtains.

Nico stripped down and grabbed his towel. He entered the first stall and
quickly washed the sweat and grass from his body. He turned and leaned his
head back under the shower, letting the water flow over him.

"Wow," Brett said.

Nico looked up and rubbed the water from his eyes. Brett was in the shower
across from him.

"What was that?" Nico asked.

Brett turned off the water and grabbed his towel from the hook on the
outside of the stall.

"Looks like you kept right on growing."

Nico looked down. His soft cock hung lower than usual thanks to the heat of
the shower. He was reminded suddenly of Paden's dick, hanging down his
thigh.

Nico also turned off his shower and started to dry. He looked across at
Brett. He had grown a few inches since middle school, but was still rather
skinny.

"It's not like you stopped growing."

"Well, I definitely got taller. Almost six-feet now." Brett wrapped his
towel around his waist.

"That's not exactly what I meant." Nico chuckled. He followed Brett into
the locker-room to change.

"Oh. Maybe a little more than average, but probably normal for my
height. You still got me beat."

"Maybe I just look bigger 'cause I'm only like 5-foot-8."

"Right, dude. I really don't think so. We'll have to compare some time."
Brett grinned at Nico.

Nico grinned back. "Not sure about that. You'd probably go around
advertising it in the lunchroom again. I can't risk it."

Brett laughed. "What if I promise to keep it between us?"

"I'll think about it." Nico smirked. During his various encounters with his
friends, Nico had realized that he enjoyed comparing with them, finding out
that he was bigger, seeing their reactions to his size. His dick chubbed at
the thought of comparing with Brett. Nico was positive he was bigger than
Brett, and the thought of besting an older guy was exciting. And the fact
that Brett seemed eager to do it made it more even more exciting for some
reason.

"Any plans tonight?" Brett asked.

"Gary's having a little party at his place."

"And you're going?" Brett sounded surprised.

"Yeah. Why?" Nico grabbed his bags and started towards the door. Brett
followed.

"I just always thought your parents were a little protective. I didn't
think they'd go in for the whole Friday night party thing. And you're a
good kid, so..."

Nico laughed. "I am a good kid, and they trust me, but they're also
protective. Lots of rules. No getting drunk. Strict curfew."

"Why don't you just tell them that you're staying at Drew's?"

"I usually do stay at Drew's, but they aren't dumb. They make Drew's
parents call and tell them when we get home. Drew's parents are a little
more lenient, but they'd never let me do stuff my parents said not to,
so..."

"Too bad. I'm sure you're a blast when you're drunk."

Nico laughed again. "Maybe we'll find out some day!"

"Alright, well it was nice to practice with you. See you later. Maybe I'll
stop by Gary's tonight." Brett turned towards the parking lot, where his
mom was waiting for him.

Nico entered the library and found Drew and Angela poring over a book. It
was nearly 5, so the library wouldn't be open much longer.

"Busy doing your homework, I see," Nico said and sat down at the table with
them.

Drew looked at his friend and grinned. "Kind of homework..."

Nico looked at the book, it appeared to be a series of pictures of black
and orange pottery. "Uh huh. How so?"

"Well, you know, learning about Greek pottery. For, you know, Western Civ."

"Oh geez. Are you guys looking at pottery porn?"

Angela laughed. "Not porn. Or at least I don't think they considered it
pornographic. They just were more open about their bodies."

Nico turned the book around to look at it. The pictures featured naked men
and women. "I guess it doesn't really look like porn."

He blushed and looked at Angela. "Not that I would know what porn looks
like."

Angela rolled his eyes. "You're a teenage boy. With Internet. You know what
porn looks like."

Drew chuckled. "But yeah, it looks like they just drew and sculpted people
naked all the time."

Nico nodded approvingly. "Cool. I guess that's better than today, when
everyone is weird about being naked."

He looked more closely at one of the pictures. "Is this that 'intercural'
or whatever you were talking about?" Nico pointed at a vase that depicted a
younger man embraced by an older man, who appeared to have his dick between
the teen's thighs.

"Intercrural," Angela corrected him and leaned across the table. "Looks
like it."

"Interesting." Nico turned the page. "And this appears to be an orgy." Nico
looked at several more pages of pottery and sculptures "Okay. Apparently
they all had tiny penises." Nico pointed to the pictures.

"Or maybe you just have a warped idea of big and small." Drew grinned at
his friend.

Nico squinted his eyes and glared at Drew.

Drew put up his hands. "I'm just sayin'!"

"Hmm." Angela took the book from Nico. "They do seem rather small, compared
to the bodies. Weird."

The librarian came around to tell them that the library was about to close.

"Are you going to check out that book?" the librarian asked Angela.

"Sure."

Angela followed the librarian to the circulation desk. Nico and Drew picked
up their bags and went outside to wait.

"I'm kinda surprised the school library had a book like that," Nico said.

"Well, it's a book about Greek art. It just happens to have naked Greeks in
it. There's other stuff, too."

Angela joined them outside. "I'm going to walk home. You guys want to
come?"

Nico shook his head. "I can't. My dad will be here soon."

She looked at Drew.

"I'll wait with Nico. But are you going to Gary's tonight?"

"I don't really know him, since, you know, I've gone to Collins my whole
life. I don't think I'm even invited."

"I'm inviting you," Drew said. "Stephanie will be there, too, and you've
known her your whole life at Collins. And Matt will also be there, so
you'll know people."

"Okay. I'll ask my parents."

"Just a friend, right?" Nico asked after Angela had left.

Drew rolled his eyes. "Shut up."

"Why were you so eager to have her come to the party, if she's just a
friend?"

"Considering that you'll be attached to Stephanie all night, and Gary and
Matt will be trying to hook up with anything that moves, I thought it might
be nice to have someone to talk to." Drew grinned at Nico.

"Fair enough." Nico grinned back.

Nico's dad pulled up, and the boys got into the car and headed home.

*****

"You sure you don't want a beer?" Gary offered a bottle to Nico.

"Positive, Gary. You know I don't drink." Nico sat with Stephanie on the
couch in Gary's living room.

"I still can't believe your parents just let you drink," Stephanie said to
Gary, taking the beer from him.

"They said they'd rather I do it here where they can keep an eye on me than
some place else. Only rule is...no one is allowed to leave drunk, so
sometimes we end up with a full house."

"Still seems like a bad idea for your parents," Nico said. "Unless all of
these people's parents know they're here drinking, your parents could get
into trouble."

Gary shrugged. "I dunno about that. I guess they're not worried."

Nico put his arm around Stephanie and pulled her closer to him. She sipped
her beer, and they watched the crowd. Matt was dancing with a girl from
Gary's school, or more accurately, was grinding rhythmically against her
while cupping her ass. Angela and Drew sat together talking quietly, each
with a beer in front of them. Nico scanned the room for Brett, but didn't
see him. Most of the attendees were from Gary's school, so Nico only
recognized those from his middle school.

"Nico!" David said, approaching the couch. Connor was right behind him.

Nico stood up. "Hey guys! I haven't seen you in a long ass time. How's it
going?"

"Not bad. Just enjoying ourselves here," Connor said. "I haven't been to
Gary's in forever."

"I was really bummed when you moved out of the neighborhood," Nico said.

"Yeah, I wasn't too happy about it, either, but we had to downsize. The
economy, you know."

"Not really." Nico chuckled.

"Me neither," Connor also laughed. "That's just what my parents said."

"How's Collins?" David asked.

"It's pretty great. I've met a lot of new people, but it's great that Drew
and Matt are there, too, you know. It's hard. Way more work than middle
school."

"Is this one of the new people?" Connor gestured to Stephanie.

Nico blushed. "Yes, sorry. This is Stephanie. We met at a party for
incoming freshmen a couple weeks before school started. Stephanie, this is
Connor and David. We went to middle school together."

Stephanie stood up. "Nice to meet you guys. I'm going to get another
drink."

"Very cute," Connor said. "You do it yet?"

Nico laughed. "Why is that the first thing everyone asks?!"

"Because it's what we all want to do!" David said.

Nico shook his head. "We've never done 'it,' but we've had some fun."

"Do tell." David grinned. "Seriously. I have to live vicariously through
guys like you. I'm an awkward nerd."

"Shut up, David. You gotta be more confident."

David shrugged.

"So?" Connor pressed.

Stephanie returned before Nico had a chance to tell them anything.

"We'll talk about it later," Nico said.

"Sure. See you guys later." Connor and David wandered towards the kitchen.

Nico and Stephanie sat back down on the couch. Nico turned to Stephanie and
put his hand on her cheek. He moved closer, and they kissed. Nico slid his
hand under Stephanie's shirt and cupped her left breast. She moaned against
his mouth and slid her hand between his thighs. Blood flowed to Nico's
cock, and it began to harden in Stephanie's hand.

Nico moved his hand down Stephanie's stomach and slid it inside the
waistband of her pants. He slipped his fingers under her panties and
between her labia. She was already getting wet. Stephanie rubbed her hand
along the length of Nico's hardening meat.

Nico pulled away. "Maybe we should go upstairs while I can still walk."
Nico gestured to the outline of his semi-hard cock along his left thigh.

Stephanie smiled. "Sure. Just let me go freshen up first." She kissed Nico
again and went in search of a bathroom. Nico watched as she walked away.

"Hey, Nico."

Nico looked up, somewhat startled. "Oh, hi, Elena. Wow. I didn't know you
were here."

"I got here a bit ago. I didn't want to interrupt you and Stephanie,
though."

"Oh, yeah. Thanks?"

Elena chuckled and stood silent for a moment.

"Sit down," Nico said and patted the couch next to him.

"So things are going well with Stephanie, I guess?"

Nico shrugged. "I guess so. I mean, we have fun, we like hanging out
together."

"Good, good," Elena said. "I can't believe we don't have any classes
together."

"It is weird, isn't it? I hardly see you."

"We've both been busy." She placed her hand on Nico's knee. "I kind of miss
having classes with you, though."

Nico laughed. "Why is that?"

Elena winked at Nico. "It was nice to have someone to look at when I got
bored."

Nico blushed.

"Hello Elena," Stephanie said coolly.

Elena stood up. "Hi, Stephanie. Just wanted to say hi to Nico."

"Great timing."

Elena smiled. "I didn't want to interrupt you guys, of course." She stood
silent for a moment. Nico looked back and forth between the two girls,
wondering if he should say something.

"You guys might want to go someplace more private, you know. Unless you
want some weirdo here to capture your sexcapades on his phone and upload it
to the Internet."

Stephanie nodded. "Thanks for the advice."

Nico stood up. "Actually, we were just about to." Nico took Stephanie's
hand.

"Well, I guess I'll be going," Elena finally said. Nico watched Elena walk
away.

"You know what she's doing, right?" Stephanie asked. "Nico!" she said
sharply.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"She's jealous. She just wanted to interfere."

"Oh, I don't think that's true. Why would she be jealous? She has a
boyfriend."

"Yeah, right. What's better? Some guy in another state that she never sees,
or a cute guy who's had a crush on her since middle school?"

"Don't be ridiculous," Nico said.

"So you do still like her."

"What? No. I mean, yes, but just as a friend."

"Ugh." Stephanie stood up and walked to the door.

"Stephanie, wait." Nico followed her out the door. He stopped her in the
yard. "What's going on?"

"Tell me that you don't still like her."

Nico stared. "I said that I like her, as a friend."

"No, tell me that you don't think she's attractive, that you wouldn't be
interesting in getting together with her."

"Of course she's attractive..."

Stephanie let out an exasperated sigh. "I think it's time for me to go
home."

Drew and Angela had followed them outside.

"I'll go with her," Angela said. "I'll call my parents to pick us up. She
can't walk home from here."

"What the hell was that about?" Drew asked.

Nico shook his head. "No fucking clue. One minute we're making out, the
next minute Stephanie's going crazy over Elena."

"Sorry, bro." Drew put his hand on Nico's shoulder and squeezed. "Let's go
back inside."

Nico allowed Drew to guide him back inside and sat with him on the couch.

Gary came up to them, "How 'bout that beer?"

Nico shook his head. "Thanks, but no. I'm not gonna get drunk because of a
girl."

"One beer won't get you drunk," Gary urged Nico.

Nico waved the bottle away. "I'm good, man."

Drew took the bottle from Gary and started to drink it.

"How many is that tonight, Drew?" Nico asked.

"Four, I think. I'm feeling kind of buzzed."

"So maybe that should be the last one. You can't go home drunk."

Drew smiled at his friend. "Always looking out for me."

"I don't know about that. I just think if you go home drunk, your parents
might think I was also drinking, and then they'll tell my parents, and then
no more parties for us. Or at least me."

"So you're being selfish?"

"Absolutely."

*****

Nico made sure that Drew didn't drink anymore, and by the time they arrived
at Drew's house just before curfew, Drew's buzz had mostly faded.

"I was starting to worry you boys were going to be late." Mr. Beck met them
in the kitchen.

"Sorry, Mr. Beck," Nico said. "We left a little later than expected."

Mr. Beck looked closely at his son and his friend, trying to determine if
they had been drinking. He expected they would have--it was a party after
all--and he wasn't actually bothered by it, but he knew that Nico's parents
would not be happy. They had become very good friends, and he had promised
to make sure that Nico followed their rules. Plus, he didn't want to do
anything that might jeopardize his chances of hooking up with Nico's dad
again.

"It's no problem. You're not actually late. I'll give your parents a call
and let them know that you're here safely." Drew's dad picked up the
phone. "And soberly."

Nico smiled. "Thanks."

"Let's go to bed," Drew said and led Nico to his bedroom.

Nico lay in bed next to Drew, staring at the ceiling. He hadn't brought his
pajamas, so he wore only his boxer-briefs. His hard-on had gone away a long
time ago, but he was still feeling horny and was frustrated that he and
Stephanie hadn't finished what they started.

"Are you still awake?" Nico asked a few minutes later.

"Yeah. What's up?" Drew turned on his side.

Nico turned to face Drew. "Horny. Stephanie's abrupt departure left me kind
of unsatisfied."

Drew laughed. "Poor Nico. Want to watch something?" Drew got out of bed and
sat down in front of his laptop

"Sure." Nico followed Drew and stood next to him.

From the corner of his eye, Drew could see Nico's boxer-briefs. He wanted
to reach out and cup his friend's bulge, to pull his long, soft cock down
the left leg and make it hard. He cleared his throat and adjusted himself.

"So...after I mentioned the thigh fucking thing to you, I decided to look
for videos. There were more than expected of, you know, guys fucking girls
between their thighs."

"Really?" Nico was surprised. "Why not just fuck for real?"

Drew shrugged. "No idea. People like different things." Drew clicked play
on one of the videos.

Nico reached into his underwear and started pulling on his dick; the shaft
swelled and hardened with blood.

The video focused on the thighs of the girl as the man's swollen dickhead
pushed back and forth between them. The girl's pussy lips surrounded the
man's shaft, and his cock rubbed against her clit. The man reached down and
played with the woman's clit as he thrust between her legs and slid his
cock against her labia.

Nico pulled down his underwear and stroked his hard dick. Drew pulled his
dick through the fly of his boxers. He watched Nico from the corner of his
eye while he jacked off.

"It's hotter than I expected," Nico said. "Different."

"Yeah." Drew spoke hoarsely. He closed his eyes and imagined that he and
Nico were in the same position as the couple in the video.

Nico groaned.

"You want to try it?" Drew asked suddenly.

Nico laughed. "Of course I do! I just gotta convince Stephanie to let
me. If she ever talks to me again."

"No." Drew stood up. "I mean...now. Do you want to try it now?"

Nico stared at Drew. "What? Us?"

Drew nodded.

Nico was silent.

Drew began to panic. He chuckled nervously. "Wow. I'm drunker than I
thought."

"You must be," Nico said with a smile. He'd had suspicions about Drew
before, but he hadn't really believed that Drew was gay. Because if Drew
were gay, after everything that he and Matt and Gary had done together,
wouldn't that make them all gay?

Drew sat back down.

"I'm in the mood for something new," Nico said. "Not much different from
anything else we've done. And my dick's still hard, so it must like the
idea."

Drew smiled. He took off his boxers and turned his back to Nico.

Nico kicked off his boxer-briefs and came up behind Drew. Drew bent
slightly over the desk. Nico took a deep breath, examined the curve of
Drew's arched back and smooth teenage ass. He reached down and pushed
Drew's legs apart. Nico pushed his dick down and slid it between his
friend's warm thighs. Drew squeezed his legs together. Nico moaned quietly.

Nico started to thrust his hips, pulling his dick from between Drew's
thighs, and then pushing it all the through until the head popped through
the other side. Nico had never fucked anything except a fist before, but
the movements came naturally, bucking his hips against his friend's ass.

With each forward thrust, Nico's cock rubbed against Drew's smooth balls
and the underside of his teenage dick. Drew's copious precum trickled down
his shaft and onto Nico's cockhead, providing a natural lube for his
thighs.

With each thrust, Nico grew more forceful. He felt powerful, in control.

"Squeeze your legs tighter," Nico said gruffly. He grabbed the outside of
Drew's thighs and pushed them together, closing them more tightly around
his large Italian boycock.

Drew moaned and held his legs as close together as he could. His thigh
muscles tensed around Nico's shaft.

Nico leaned over Drew. He wrapped his arms around Drew's chest and pulled
his friend close. He pressed his sweaty chest against Drew's back and
rested his chin on Drew's shoulder. He squeezed Drew tight.

Nico drove his cock harder, pushing and pulling it rapidly through his best
friend's legs. His balls slapped against Drew's legs with each thrust. He
breathed heavily on Drew's neck as he worked his dick between Drew's
thighs.

Drew leaned his head back. He pushed his ass back against Nico, meeting his
friend's powerful thrusts. Nico groaned in his ear. A chill and a tingle
spread through Drew's body, from his ear down his spine to the bottom of
his feet. He shuddered.

Nico felt Drew shudder. He grunted into Drew's ear again. Drew moaned. Nico
rubbed Drew's chest and stomach, massaging and squeezing his teen
muscles. He wrapped his hand around Drew's slick cock and tried to jerk his
friend while they fucked.

Nico turned Drew around, so that they faced each other, as in the pottery
they had seen. He pushed his dick down and slid it under Drew's balls and
back between his legs. He looked into Drew's eyes and started to thrust
slowly. Drew licked his lips and swallowed. Nico pulled Drew to him. Drew's
hard, slick cock pressed against Nico's flat, muscled stomach. His precum
coated Nico's abs.

Placing his hands on the small of Drew's back, Nico pulled Drew closer. He
cupped Drew's round ass. Chest-to-chest now, Nico continued driving his
cock into Drew's thighs. He could feel his friend's cock throbbing and
leaking onto his stomach. Drew grabbed Nico's shoulders, bracing himself
against his friend's forceful thrusts. He flexed his legs, squeezed Nico's
oversized teenage prick.

Nico's thick Italian prong curved up against the crack of Drew's ass. Nico
pulled his friend's cheeks apart and let his cockhead rest between
them. His body shook; his legs weakened. He kept thrusting, but his
movements became erratic. His glans slid up between Drew's ass cheeks
again. His ballsac tightened.

Drew's body tingled every time Nico's engorged cockhead touched his ass. He
felt Nico shaking. He wrapped his arms around Nico and pushed his own dick
hard against his friend's stomach.

Nico suddenly pulled back, removing his cock from between Drew's legs. He
pressed his dick against Drew's. Drew grabbed their dicks and held them
together. He squeezed their cockheads, rubbed them against each other. Nico
whimpered. His body was tingling; his cock was pulsing; his cockhead was
red and swollen. Drew continued rubbing his precum all over their dicks,
stroking just the heads.

"Oh fuck," Nico groaned and reached out to grab Drew's shoulder for
balance. Drew rubbed the corona of Nico's cockhead. Nico exploded. The
first volley of Italian boycream spurted from his cock and landed on Drew's
stomach. The rest oozed down his shaft and covered Drew's hand and dick.

Drew let go of Nico's dick and focused on his own. He watched his friend's
muscular chest rise and fall as he recovered from the force of his orgasm;
he listened as Nico's breathing slowed.

Drew felt his face flush. The familiar red splotches spread across his
chest. He clenched his teeth, held his breath. With a low groan and gasp,
Drew erupted. Four heavy spurts of boysperm landed almost audibly on his
torso. He squeezed the remaining cum from his cock onto his fingers and
wiped it on his stomach.

The glow of orgasm faded, and the boys moved apart.

They looked at each other silently for a few moments. Nico cleared his
throat. His face was burning.

"Well that was definitely different," he finally said.

"Different good or different bad?" Drew was suddenly afraid of a repeat of
what happened the first time they had exchanged blowjobs.

"Felt good to me," Nico said. He smiled weakly at Drew.

Drew sighed, relieved. "Good."

Drew used his boxers to wipe the cum from his body. He tossed them, who
used them to clean the cum and sweat from his cock and pubes.

"Think you can get some sleep now?" Drew grinned at Nico.

"I hope so!" Nico pulled on his boxer-briefs and got back into bed. Drew
lay down next to him.

A few minutes later, neither boy had even closed his eyes.

"Did you really enjoy that, Drew?" Nico asked.

"Didn't you?" Drew asked.

"Yeah, but...it was different for me. I was actually sticking my cock in
something. Of course it felt good."

Drew stared at the ceiling and didn't respond.

Nico looked at Drew. "So Angela really is just a friend, huh?"

Drew cleared his throat. "Like I said before."

"But, I mean, you don't want her to be anything more than a friend."

Drew turned his back to Nico.

Nico took a deep breath. "Are you gay, Drew?"

Nico could see Drew's body shaking. He reached out and touched his friend's
shoulder. "It's okay if you are. It's okay if you're not. It's okay if
you're confused. Hell, half the time I'm confused because of all the stuff
we've done."

Drew wiped his eyes and turned to his other side to face Nico. "I'm
definitely not confused."

Nico smiled at Drew. "So what's with the tears?"

"Guess I'm just afraid of you going incommunicado again. I don't know if I
could handle that."

"You're my best friend. I fucking love you, man. It was wrong when I did
that before. I was confused about the sex, but not about you."

"That's a huge fucking relief." Drew chuckled slightly.

"Who else knows?" Nico asked.

"In real life? Just Angela. I'm not even sure how it happened. She just
kind of knew. I've talked to people online, though."

"Well, I won't tell anyone." He squeezed Drew's arm.

"Does this change things?"

"I don't see why it would. You're still my best friend, like I said. I'm
still going to come over all the time and eat your food and swim in your
pool and make fun of you for being lazy."

"But what about things like what we just did? Or what we've done before?"

"Oh." Nico didn't respond immediately. "I honestly can't say. I'd be lying
if I said that I haven't enjoyed everything we've done together, including
what we just did. I also enjoy what I've done with Stephanie, and what I've
dreamed about doing with her and Elena and Miss Bartow." Nico paused. "And
your mom."

"Ass!" Drew laughed.

Nico smiled at Drew. "I don't know if that just means I'm horny or that I'm
actually, like, bisexual or whatever."

Drew didn't say anything.

"Regardless, we're still going to be friends, right?"

Drew nodded. "Absolutely." A wave of relief washed over Drew. He was
suddenly very tired.

Both boys rolled back onto their backs and closed their eyes.

*****

Morning came sooner than they expected. Light streamed in through the
windows.

"You gotta start closing the blinds at night," Nico grunted to Drew and
covered his eyes with his forearm.

"You could close them," Drew said and covered his head with his pillow.

Nico grabbed Drew's pillow off his head. "I don't know how you can sleep
with your face covered by a pillow. Seems hot and uncomfortable. And you'll
suffocate."

"If you'd close the blinds, I wouldn't have to." Drew grabbed his pillow.

"Ugh. Fine. I gotta piss, anyway." Nico got out of bed. His morning wood
strained against his boxer-briefs. "I hope your parents aren't in the
hallway. Wish I'd brought my pajamas."

Drew looked at Nico's bulging crotch and laughed. "Even if you had your PJs
that wouldn't help."

"I could point it up, though, tie the waistband, and cover the head with a
t-shirt. If I point it up in these," Nico demonstrated, "it just stretches
the waistband." His cockhead poked out of the top of his boxer-briefs and
rose towards his navel.

Drew shrugged. "Again...BDP."

Nico arranged his cock so that it lay stretched across his waist towards
the left. He shrugged. "Best I can do."

He opened the door cautiously. He didn't see or hear anyone in the hall, so
he stepped out quickly towards the bathroom.

"Oh, Nico, good morning." Mr. Beck suddenly came around the corner.

Nico paused. He started to turn to say hello, but stopped himself. "Good
morning, Mr. Beck."

"I was just coming to check on you guys."

"We just woke up." Nico inched towards the bathroom.

Drew's dad came closer. "You okay? You seem jumpy."

"What's going on?" Mrs. Beck came up and stood next to her husband.

Nico rolled his eyes. He looked over his shoulder. He was positive that
Drew's parents could see the bulge in the left side of his boxer-briefs. He
put his left arm down.

"I'm fine. Just really gotta pee."

"Oh, okay. Tell Drew to get up and come to breakfast, okay?"

"No problem." He hurried into the bathroom.

Mrs. Beck looked at her husband and raised her eyebrows. "What was that
about?"

Mr. Beck shrugged. "Awkward teenage boys?" He had enjoyed the view, even
though it was peripheral. His wife seemed a little oblivious to it.

Nico contorted his body until he was able to aim his hard, upward-arching
prick at the toilet. As he pissed, his morning wood disappeared. He tucked
his now soft Italian boydick into his boxer-briefs and flushed the
toilet. He went back to the bedroom.

"That was nearly a disaster."

Drew laughed. "What happened?"

"BOTH of your parents. I'm not sure if they realized I was completely boned
or not, but I'm pretty sure they could see the bulge on the left side from
the way I positioned my dick."

"I'm sure it's fine. Besides, you're the one who said you dream about doing
my mom."

"I was joking." He looked at Drew and grinned. "Mostly."

"Ass!"

"Also, they said it's time for breakfast." Nico started to get dressed.

Drew got out of bed. He pointed at his own morning wood. "Much more
manageable," he said. He put on a pair of shorts and went to the bathroom
to relieve himself.

"So you know how you said that you keep me around to do the thinking?" Drew
asked when he returned.

Nico nodded. "I was being sarcastic, but yes."

"Well, I've been thinking again. Remember how you ran into Paden in the
locker-room the other day? And you were...what did you say? Shocked? To see
the size of his dick?"

"I recall the shock."

"Remember how we were saying that it might make sense to, you know, get
practice before you tried to use the monster on someone you cared about?"

Nico nodded.

"Maybe you could talk to Paden about that. He could be like your mentor or
something. Like with the Greeks. But without the sex, obviously. You
already know he's big, just like you are. Maybe you could ask his advice or
something."

"Are you serious?" Nico was shocked at the suggestion, especially the
comparison to the Greeks.

Drew shrugged. "Kind of. Why not? You guys get along. He's young. He's more
like a friend than a teacher."

"Hmm. You're kind of right. I was thinking about talking to my dad. We've
talked about stuff before. He's open and willing to talk about anything,
but I almost always feel weird about it. Not sure talking to Paden would be
less weird, though."

"Just a thought," Drew said.
