More info at https://donate.nifty.org/ -------------------------------- The Kingswood Eight - Chapter 25 Sunday 7 March 2021 Josh had awoken early, but stayed in the dorm, sitting on the sofas as he watched the others waking up. There was a fairly standard routine to it by now. On one side of the room, Chris and Danny would awake, blindly reaching out for each other for a few minutes of pre-getting-up cuddles. Above them, Nicky would sit up, lean over and kiss Mikey awake, although everyone knew Mikey was always already awake and just used it as an excuse to start the day with kisses. When they were done, they'd climb down and almost drag Chris out of bed. Over the other side, James and David would start chattering almost the moment they were awake, sharing a truly impressive skill of being able to pick up their conversation from the previous night as if it had only been nine seconds, not nine hours! Below them, Josh would usually be resisting waking up, with Rob not faring much better and giving him a cursory shake to help him back to consciousness. Today, seeing Josh gone, Rob glanced around and saw his friend sat alone and shot him a concerned, questioning look. Josh gave a silent nod and smile to show he was okay so Rob went about his normal morning routine. Heading off to shower in twos or threes, the boys disappeared, returning a short while later ready to dress for breakfast. It was just as the last of them was getting ready that Josh called out, "Hey, can I... speak to you all for a minute?" Still chattering away, the others gathered round curiously. Josh took a deep breath, unsure whether the others were unaware of the date or whether they had opted for an approach of `treat it like any other'. "I just wanted to say... today is my birthday!" "Aww, that's nice," Rob said as the others exchanged confused looks. "Except for the slight problem that today is, in fact, not your birthday. Your birthday's in June!" "Oh!" Danny suddenly declared. "Crap!" "Wait, is it June? How long were we asleep?" Nicky asked, getting a snigger from the others. Danny moved round the sofas, taking a seat beside Josh. As he looked back at the others he said, "Today's March seventh... one year since the lockdown ended!" It took the others varying amounts of time to realise what Danny was saying without saying. The COVID-19 lockdown within Kingswood had been somewhat different to the lockdowns that took place out in the wider world. The boys had been put in paired isolation for a period of two weeks to check and monitor them for signs of the virus back in its very early days, long before the rest of the country caught up, with them all being released on 7th March. That day had been a lot more significant for many of them for more reasons than just the end of the lockdown. Chris had been publicly humiliated and spectacularly dumped by Kyle, Nicky had broken up with his boyfriend, Will, after finding out he had been lied to throughout the whole relationship and David had come to the realisation he was suffering from acute agoraphobia. As if that wasn't enough shit for one day, it had also been the day Josh almost ended his own life as a result of a decade of abuse at the hands of his older brothers, Ryan and Mark. It was only thanks to discovery by Danny and his thoughtful assistance that Josh had not gone through with it. "Shit man, I didn't even realise!" Chris said quite bluntly. "Yeah, sorry," Rob added. "It's a big date, but it's still not his birthday!" Mikey said with a shrug. "Mikey!" Danny yelped. Josh chuckled and placed his hand on Danny's leg. "It's okay, Mikey's right!" Josh admitted. "But that's what I wanted to tell you. Sit down a sec," he requested. The others sat around him on the other sofas. "Since... that day my whole freakin' life has changed. I've got a new family, who I absolutely love and they even let me legally change my name from Joshua to Josh because... well, reasons I don't wanna go into now, and while I can't legally change my birthday, I think of this date as when my new life started. So I kinda started thinking of it as my birthday." "That's... actually kinda cool," Mikey said with a slight shrug. "Well then... happy birthday!" The other joined in with wishing him a happy birthday. "So does this mean we get pizza?" David asked with a grin, getting a laugh from the others. Josh chuckled but shook his head. "Nah, I'm not telling the teachers or anything. I just... wanted to share it with the people who are important to me!" "Ah, so you're telling them next, are you?" Rob joked, getting more laughs from the rest. "Come on then, let's do this right!" he said, standing and gesturing for Josh to do the same. Rob grabbed his best friend in a hug, the other six boys piling on around them. They stood for a few moments before Rob yelped, "Hey, whose hand was that?" "Mine!" Danny called out. "And I'm not even sorry!" The group hug broke apart as the boys laughed. "Come on, breakfast's waiting!" David declared, leading the way to the door. "Hey, hold up," Nicky said quietly, grabbing Josh as the others moved away. Once the others were clear he said quietly, "So... we've started a bit of a birthday tradition where we... kinda have a lot of sex with the birthday boy," he started. He spotted the slightly weary look on Josh's face right away. "But... I kinda get the feeling you're... not really there yet, right?" Josh grinned and nodded. It was a slightly sensitive subject for him, and not one he had spoken about with most of the dorm, so it was quite sweet that the other boy had even picked up on it. "That's what I thought. So we'll skip that tradition, I just didn't want you thinking we... ya know... didn't want to," Nicky explained. "Aww, it's so sweet that you want to use my birthday as an excuse to sex me!" Josh chuckled. Nicky shrugged, not even slightly apologetic, then said, "Although... there IS one more tradition that I do on my own that I'm hoping might be okay!" "Oh yeah, what's that?" Josh asked, smirking a little, already suspecting what it was. "A birthday kiss!" Nicky said, blushing a little. As Josh stared back at him for a moment, he gave a slight nod. Nicky quickly leaned down and kissed him. He only held it for a few seconds, but felt Josh grab his hand. As Nicky eventually pulled away, he whispered, "Happy birthday!" "It is now!" Josh giggled. "Come on!" he said, heading after the others, still holding Nicky's hand. They headed down the corridor together, still hand-in-hand. The others were already on the stairs as they rounded the final corner. Just as they approached the door to dorm 1.01, a small group of its occupants emerged. Nicky immediately froze. "Oh!" Angel said as he spotted the approaching boys. "It's Nicky. Hi Nicky!" he said with a smile. "H... hi," Nicky forced himself to say. "Can we..." Angel started, but paused as the rest of the 1.01 boys appeared. "Never mind," he said with a slight frown. "I guess... see you around, Nicky!" The other boys behind Angel whispered and giggled to each other as the group of Year 7s hurried away, but Angel appeared to say something to them and they went quiet. Nicky and Josh stood waiting for them to leave before going to follow. "Woah! Hold up!" Josh declared, holding still with Nicky's hand grasped tightly, pulling him back. "What's up?" Nicky asked, his heart still pounding from the brief encounter with the young bullies, trying to act nonchalant. "Are they still bothering you?" Josh asked. Back when Angel and his mates had first `pranked' Nicky by exposing him naked to everyone at diving club, Josh was the one person who had realised something was wrong. He had taken steps to get revenge for the prank pulled on Nicky, but having heard nothing more about it, assumed things had returned to normal. Nicky shook his head. "What? No. Why would they..." "Mate, the second you saw them you squeezed my hand so hard I may have lost a finger!" Josh explained, shaking Nicky's hand. "And you really think I don't know that expression on your face when you saw them? That was my face for most of my fuckin' life whenever my brothers were around! I may not be the brightest, but this shit... I know!" Nicky took a shaky breath and shook his head. "Yeah, they're... bothering me a bit, but... it's no big deal. I can... I can handle it!" "You shouldn't have to `handle' stuff like that. Lemme do something about it!" Josh pleaded. "No!" Nicky insisted, pulling his hand from Josh's. "I told you, I can handle it. I don't NEED any help!" he said sharply. Josh looked up at the taller boy silently for a few moments then smiled. "I'm not the brightest, but even I'm smart enough to know I can never actually know how you feel, even after what I went though, so I won't say I understand, but... can I make one request?" Nicky frowned a little but nodded. "If `handling it' makes you end up on the roof like I did... you CAN'T handle it! Please just... never let it get that far!" Josh pleaded. Nicky sighed and nodded solemnly. ***** As consciousness crept back in, Danny felt the arm around him and the fingers running through his hair. He knew it was Brian, even without the distinct scent of his usual body spray and aftershave combination. He let out a happy moan as he nestled slightly against his boyfriend, then whispered, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep again, didn't I!" "You did," Brian whispered, giving the boy a gentle kiss on the forehead, "But it's okay, I like watching you sleep. I don't care if that sounds creepy, I just like... having you here, knowing you're safe!" Danny let his eyes flick open and smiled up at the older boy above him, though the smile was thoroughly melancholy. "Chris still does something like that," Danny said softly. "He'll wake up... well sometimes he'll not even be fully awake and he'll start checking I'm breathing or that I still have a pulse and doesn't go back to sleep until he knows I'm still there and... ya know, not dead!" "Yeah, I know," Brian nodded. "I know I'm not meant to tell you this, but... he knows he does it. He doesn't mean to, but he knows it happens and he hates it." "Should I... do something?" Danny asked, unsure of himself. "Maybe just give him a bit more time," Brian suggested. "You and him... it's always gonna be..." Brian paused, shaking his head as it defied description, but he did his best to continue, "It'll be different. I've never known any two people to have the kind of bond you two seem to have and with something as intense as what you went through... things like this are gonna take some time!" "Hmm, I guess," Danny nodded. "I'm glad he's got such an amazing mentor!" "Ha, ya little suck-up!" Brian giggled before leaning in to kiss Danny. It was a slow, relaxed kiss, their hands casually grasping at each other, tongues meeting delicately. As Brian pulled away, Danny let out a gentle moan. "Whassup?" Brian asked, stroking a few strands of hair from his forehead. Danny shifted a little, pressing his hip against the older boy's erection. "That!" he said bluntly. "Sorry, I... erm... you do that to me!" Brian giggled. "No," Danny said, shaking his head. "I'm glad of THAT, I just... mine doesn't..." he paused and sighed. "I... know we haven't... done stuff since I got back. And it might... be a while and I'm sorry." "You don't need to be sorry!" Brian insisted. "It's just... I was thinking... if I'm not giving you what you need then... do we still work?" Danny asked nervously. Brian sniggered. "Well first of all, we've already got an open relationship, so ask me how many guys I've been with while we've been together." Danny just looked at him questioningly. "None! Because you're already everything I need! And I know you play with others, which is... actually kinda hot and I'm not complaining. I'm just saying..." He sighed, staring down into the boy's beautiful blue eyes. "Danny, I don't love you because we have sex... we have sex because I love you!" Danny smiled, a tear forming in his eye. "I love you too," he said happily. "Oh, and hey... look at that!" Brian said, nodding to Danny's crotch where there was an obvious bulge. "Yeah, that still happens," Danny nodded. "I suppose... you could help me... check for progress!" "Are you sure?" Brian asked. "Brian, I'm offering to let you play with my dick. Are you really resisting?" Danny asked with a smirk. Brian nodded. "Good point!" He reached down and pulled the front of Danny's sweatpants and boxers down to let the erection spring free. He quickly took hold of it and started stroking. After a few seconds, he looked at Danny and asked, "Well?" Danny shook his head a little and said, "Can't really feel anything." As he saw Brian stop, he added, "But keep going anyway. I don't need to cum to enjoy... you!" Brian nodded, gave the boy another kiss then resumed. He squirmed a little as he felt Danny's hand gently graze his own bulge. "Can I?" Danny asked quietly. "Oh. No. Stop. Don't do it!" Brian said flatly before sniggering. He reached down to release his own dick and immediately felt Danny's hand grasp onto it. "Unnh, that's good," he moaned happily. The two lay together, cuddling and casually stroking each other. While Danny was clearly frustrated at the lack of sensation, he seemed to be enjoying playing with Brian again, a feeling that was very much mutual. "I'm getting kinda close," Brian whispered. "You... erm... you wanna eat it?" he asked, always a keen supporter of his boyfriend's love of cum, but cautious of moving too fast. "Fuck yes!" Danny said excitedly. Brian smiled as he sat up. He quickly leaned down, kissed the tip of Danny's cock then carefully put it away before kneeling beside the younger boy's head. He stroked his cock quickly, already close to climax. "Open wide!" he said shakily as he felt himself on the brink, eagerly aiming the tip of his cock into the hastily opened mouth just in time to spurt his load in. With the final dribbles swallowed down, Danny poked out his tongue and licked the final drop from the tip, getting a giggle and shudder from Brian as it made contact. He tucked his dick away and shuffled back down, slipping an arm under Danny's neck to hold him again as he nestled at his side. Turning to face each other, they both smiled before kissing once again. ***** It wasn't unusual for other students to come and spectate during various clubs, especially at the weekends where the boys had a little more free time to kill, so Josh sitting in the spectator area for diving club really didn't draw any unusual attention. He sat watching throughout the session, but at about an hour into it he got up and hurried into the locker room, having spotted his target going in. As expected, Angel had been going in to use the toilets and Josh reached them just as Angel was approaching the urinal. "Hey," the younger boy greeted casually as he saw Josh. Josh lunged at the boy, grabbing him, and shoving him into one of the cubicles. "What the..." Angel started, but the hand that grasped around his neck stopped any more words from escaping. Josh grabbed the young boy's arm, twisted it up behind his back and then slammed him against the cubicle wall, leaning in to growl in his ear, "Say a word and I'll break your fucking arm!" Angel whimpered and nodded slightly. "Now I don't know what your problem is with Nicky and honestly, I don't fucking care, but let me make one thing clear to you," Josh whispered in Angel's ear. "I fucking HATE bullies and I will NOT allow them in MY school or hurting MY friends, so you're gonna back the fuck off of Nicky with whatever shit you're doing and you're gonna make sure your little friends do too. Understand?" Angel nodded with his cheek pressed against the wall. "Good, because if I hear you've hurt him in any way, if you've... said anything hurtful or done anything mean... fuck it, even if you LOOK at him wrong, I'll show you what I learned from MY bullies and I will cause you pain and suffering worse than anything your pathetic little mind can even imagine!" Josh growled. As Angel whimpered, Josh heard a trickling noise and realised the boy had actually peed himself, the flow dribbling through his speedo and down his leg onto the floor. He sighed and released the boy, looking at him and shaking his head. "I don't LIKE doing this!" Josh said, looking a little dejected. "So don't fucking make me do it again, okay!" Angel just nodded. Josh unlocked and left the cubicle, leaving the younger boy crying in his own mess. ***** Danny was happily walking along slowly, having just left the dorm, wrapped up warmly to venture out into the cold when he glanced down into the foyer and spotted Josh sitting alone. He made his way down the stairs and all the way across to Josh before the other boy even noticed his approach. "Hey birthday boy," Danny grinned. "Hi," Josh said glumly. "Oof, not a happy face," Danny said sympathetically. "I'm off for a walk. You're coming with me!" "Shouldn't you be resting?" Josh asked as he stood. "Probably," Danny shrugged. "But I've got a goal in mind and I'm not missing it for the sake of a bit of rest!" Josh followed along as Danny turned to head for the door. "What's the goal?" he asked curiously. "Year 9!" Danny said firmly. "I'm starting Year 9 by rejoining the football team and swimming club and doing PE. So I've got six months to build my strength back up, cos I'm not spending any more time here as the cripple! Fuck that shit!" Josh smiled. "If anyone can do it, you can!" he said confidently. "Thanks," Danny said happily as they slowly made their way down the front steps. "So what's got ya so glum, chum?" he giggled. Josh sighed, thinking about his encounter with Angel. "Do you... think it's okay to do a bad thing... to stop another bad thing happening?" Danny frowned as he glanced at the other boy. "Why do I get a feeling you're not gonna give me any more detail than that?" "Because you're smart, that's why," Josh grinned. "Charmer!" Danny chuckled as they wandered into the school's gardens. "Well... I guess it really depends on what the bad things are. Like, giving someone a wedgie to stop World War Three, that's probably the right move, but shooting someone in the head to stop them from... I dunno... stealing your last mars bar, that's probably a bit out of order!" "Is it though?" Josh sniggered, but it quickly faded as he thought about Angel. "True, you do like your chocolate," Danny grinned. "So how about if I... maybe scared and threatened someone, to get them to stop hurting someone else?" Josh asked, cautiously sharing a little more detail before asking what was really bothering him. "Does that... make me like Ryan and Mark?" "Oh!" Danny exclaimed. "Look, your brothers hurt you because... well, they were psychos and they were doing it for... I dunno, some imagined crime you'd committed or, well, sometimes it just sounded like it was just for their own entertainment, cos they're a pair of absolute cunts who should be in prison!" Josh flinched a little. Danny was one of the few boys who knew both the extent of his brothers' crimes, as well as the leniency Josh had helped them out with when they had been caught. He had never made any secret of his disgust at the outcome. "I don't think you could hurt someone like that even on your worst day. You're a twat, but you're a nice twat!" Danny explained, giving a wry grin. "The way I see it, if you were trying to help someone, it was PROBABLY the right thing to do." He paused, looking at Josh who nodded but looked a little unconvinced, so he went on, "But worrying about it like this, keeping yourself in check... that makes it pretty clear you're not a bad person, so it sounds like you're in the clear to me!" He stopped and exhaled heavily for a moment. Glancing at a bench, he asked, "Mind if we stop for a minute?" "Sure," Josh nodded, holding out an arm to help Danny walk to the bench where they both sat. "I get what you're saying. It makes sense," he nodded. As silence fell for a few moments, Josh smiled and said, "You always know the right thing to say. I wanna be like you when I grow up!" "Josh, you're, like... only six months younger than me!" Danny chuckled. Josh nodded and said, "I know, I know, but... to me, being grown up isn't about age, it's about... more than that. I think about all the shit you've been through and the fact you're still... kind and sweet and caring... and strong! That's what I wanna be some day!" Josh explained. "And besides, if that day on the roof was my new birthday, then that means I'm only one, which means you're actually twelve years older than me!" Danny burst into laughter, shaking his head. "That's just stupid," he said, shaking his head. "But I think you're missing an important point!" "Oh I miss a lot of important points," Josh sniggered. "But go on!" "Look, last year, that day... I don't think it'll surprise you to hear that was probably the worst day of my life in a lot of ways," Danny explained, getting a sympathetic nod from Josh. "Although... then the accident happened and, sorry mate, you're downgraded to second worst. Nearly dying buried underground JUST about takes the top spot!" "Understandable," Josh nodded. "And since then, I've had... pain and misery and suffering and it's been a horrible three months, but that means I've had two horrible days and three really bad months and you think I'm strong for getting through that," Danny explained. "But... YOU spent the best part of ten years being... hurt and abused and tortured your cunty brothers and you you've come out of it as one of the... happiest, kindest, sweetest, most caring guys I know! If you think my shit took strength, take a look at yourself mate. That's real fucking strength right there. You don't need to aim for anything when you grow up, you're already there!" "Fuck you!" Josh snapped turning away. "Wh... what?" Danny asked, confused. "I promised myself today was gonna be a no crying day," Josh snapped, then turned to look at Danny, pointed to his own face and said, "But look at this fucking mess!" Danny burst into laughter as he reached out and grabbed Josh in a hug. Josh sniffed back his tears and said quietly, "Love you, mate!" "Love you too," Danny said back happily. As Josh pulled away, he offered his fist and said, "Roof buddies for life!" Danny frowned and said, "I am NOT calling us that!" "Pain pals?" Josh suggested. "Oh my god!" Danny giggled, shaking his head. "No!" "The Kingswood Broken Boys Club?" Josh grinned. "You're so freaking twisted!" Danny said, shaking his head. "But fine!" he said as he finally accepted the fist bump. ***** "Look, I appreciate tradition as much as the next guy," Rob said, shaking his head at the three boys in front of him, "But shouldn't birthday sex involve the person whose actual birthday it is?" "Rob, I appreciate you've got your own boyfriends, but are you really turning down an opportunity like this?" Nicky asked with a smirk. "Boyfriends?" Rob baulked. "I've just got the one, thank you!" "What about that other guy?" Chris asked. "Alex's roommate!" Rob suddenly blushed. "Luke? No, we're... erm... well... erm..." Mikey suddenly burst into another bout of narration. "Rob blushed, knowing the others were onto him. `How did they know?' he thought to himself. `It's not that obvious, is it?' He looked at them, lost for what to say." "Aren't you gonna stop him?" Rob asked, glaring at Nicky who usually intervened when Mikey started his bizarre habit. "No, this stuff's hilarious!" Nicky giggled. Mikey went on. "Nicky was just glad of the distraction, first using group sex to avoid conversation and now happy to jump on Rob's embarrassment as an added extra. He turned to face Mikey, glaring angrily!" Mikey said, with a slight smirk. "Ha!" Rob yelped, seeing the tables turned on Nicky. "Distraction?" Chris asked, surprised. Mikey's narrating seemed to be some kind of weird leftover from his many years with imaginary friends, but as weird as it was, it was usually both accurate and insightful. Despite his social bluntness, Mikey tended to pick up on details most of the others easily overlooked. "Chris was surprised," Mikey went on. "Although that was easily done. Unobservant at the best of times, but since Danny's return his attention had been focused on nothing else, even his own boyfriends taking second place to doting on his injured soulmate!" "Oof," Rob mumbled, staring at the throuple awkwardly. "Emotional gut punch!" "I don't... erm... have I... been doing that?" Chris asked, a little taken aback. "Well..." Nicky started. "Erm..." Rob hummed. "SO fucking much!" Mikey said bluntly. Chris looked a little upset. "I... don't mean to. It's just... I missed him and... and he's... he's suffering and..." "Hey, it's okay!" Nicky reassured him. "We get it!" "Yeah, sorry," Mikey apologised. "I just... get caught up in doing that and it kinda slips out," he explained. "And just cos you're doing it doesn't mean I think it's a bad thing. Danny's awesome!" "We know you're just worried about him," Nicky said, holding Chris' hand. "But... do remember we're here too!" "Erm... just from an outside opinion," Rob offered, "Even with that, you three are still adorably couple-y... erm... throuple-y!" "Okay," Chris nodded. He smiled at the others meekly and said, "I'll make sure to give you my attention too!" "You mean like now, with the birthday sex we should already be having?" Mikey asked. "He's got a point!" Nicky nodded. He looked to Rob. "You can take birthday boy's place. Whadda we fancy today?" "Erm, I did... recently see this thing where a guy... managed to cum... just from... erm... fingering," Rob said shyly. The other three answered at the same time, with "Where d'ya see that?" from Chris, "Who did it?" from Nicky and "I haven't done that in ages!" from Mikey. "It was..." Rob went to answer Chris and Rob before realising what Mikey had said. "You guys... have done that?" "Oh yeah," Mikey said casually. "He can self-suck too!" Chris added with a grin. "Oh my god, well that's the plan then!" Rob declared excitedly. Nicky smiled and jumped into action as he ordered, "Mikey, get your cock in your own mouth. Rob, finger him!" "What about you two?" Rob asked nervously. Chris and Nicky looked at each other, shrugged and said in perfect unison, "Fucking?" They giggled and Nicky looked to Rob and said, "We'll fuck while we watch you finger Mikey." Rob grinned and said, "That's just... a truly bizarre sentence and I love it!" "Yeah, let's all take a moment to think about that... OR WE CAN GET NAKED!" Chris insisted with a laugh. Chris and Mikey pounced on each other, wrestling around with each other, seeing who could get the other naked first while Rob and Nicky just undressed side-by-side, both feeling the relief that came from their shared, and understood, body consciousness. "Ya know, Luke really isn't my boyfriend," Rob said quietly. "Oh I know," Nicky nodded. "But be careful. If he's starting to look like he is to us, he probably is to other people too!" He saw Rob look a little concerned, so he reached out and grabbed the other boy's dick. "But worry about that later. For now, focus on Mikey. D'you... know what you're doing?" "Not really," Rob pouted. "Okay, well you remember we learned about the prostate and where it is?" Nicky asked, getting a nod. "That's kinda one of the key things, but you're not just, like, pounding it into submission. Tease it, play with it, be gentle but... thorough. And remember that playing with the hole and generally finger fucking can be pretty pleasurable for him too. If you're not sure, just ask him, Mikey's pretty vocal about what he does and doesn't like!" As he finished explaining to the blushing boy, he grinned and said, "That other sentence isn't sounding so bizarre now, is it?" Rob gave a wry grin and asked, "Whadda you think normal boys do with their Sundays?" "Get bored!" Nicky sniggered. "Now go finger my boyfriend!" "I win!" Chris declared, tossing Mikey's underwear aside. "Bastard," Mikey grumbled, laying flat on his back as he looked up at the other boy. "Oh well. While I'm down here..." He leaned forward then swung back, rolling his legs back over his head. As he looped his elbows behind his knees, he pulled his crotch down and poked out his tongue to lick his stiffening dick. "Holy fuckballs!" Rob exclaimed as he looked down at Mikey. "Something wrong?" Mikey asked, completely unflustered by the compromising position. "Fuck no!" Rob chuckled as he dropped to his knees. "Is this... really okay?" he asked as he placed his hands on the boy's smooth buttocks. "Oh no, someone wants to please me and give me an orgasm, quick, let me stop him!" Mikey said sarcastically. "You may want some of this!" Nicky called out, tossing Rob some lube. "Or don't, just to punish the sarcastic little git!" Mikey's eyes suddenly went wide as he muttered, "Please use lube!" Rob sniggered again as he gave Mikey's butt a playful slap then squeezed some lube out. As Mikey returned his own dick to his mouth, Rob carefully slid a lubricated finger around the boy's puckered ring. While it was possible the moans he heard were from his self-sucking, Rob was confident it was the result of his delicate touch. Thinking back to what he had watched Jazz doing the previous week, he pressed a finger into Mikey's hole. He was surprised by the tight squeeze of it around his finger, but even more-so by the warmth he felt inside. Cautiously he pulled the finger back out and then slid it back in a little further. To their side, Nicky was sat, leaning back on both hands, alternating his gaze between Chris who was slowly manoeuvring himself onto the large cock beneath him, and Rob's experimentations. He let out a happy hum as he felt himself slowly sliding inside Chris, who was gradually getting more and more used to being fucked by the over-sized dick. "Wait, I wanna see the show!" Chris said, working his way round so he was facing Rob and Mikey too, giggling at the moan from Nicky his rotation caused. Positioned to watch the other two, he smiled as he felt Nicky lean forward and wrap his arms around him, kissing his neck and shoulder gently. "Oh my goddddd! Happy birthday Josh!" he giggled. "How's this?" Rob asked as he slowly worked in a second finger, bending them both slightly to cautiously probe at his prostate. Mikey opened his mouth to release his dick and said, "It's good, you're doing well! You can go a bit harder if you like!" "Okay," Rob nodded, giving Mikey's prostate a hard nudge getting a shudder and moan from him in response. Nicky smiled as he watched on. Even in a situation that would have had most people too embarrassed to even talk, Mikey was helping guide the less experienced boy. He felt a great surge of pride, sighing happily as he grasped tightly onto Chris. "Does... does it... hurt?" Rob asked cautiously. Seeing Mikey's mouth was occupied, Chris offered, "You've seen Nicky's dick. Compare that to your fingers!" Rob giggled and said, "Oh yeah! But... how about at first?" He looked to Chris. Chris let out a moan as he continued sliding up and down on Nicky's dick, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, I... I took some time... to build up... to this!" "It definitely hurts a bit at first!" Nicky added. Mikey released his erection again and called out, "But so worth it. But less talking, more fingering!" "Sorry sir," Rob giggled, wiggling his finger back and forth and sniggering as Mikey moaned. Conversation died down as Chris began bouncing more vigorously on Nicky's dick, stroking his own as he did it. Eventually, as Nicky got closer to cumming, he shoved Chris forward so his face was on the ground beside Mikey's, butt in the air. He starting slamming into him hard, wanting to put on a show for Rob who was almost as transfixed by the fucking as he was by his own fingers inside Mikey. "Fuck! Yusss!" Nicky hissed, pulling out in time to spurt his load onto Chris' back, watching as it slowly dribbled down towards his shoulders. As he pulled back, he reached down between Chris legs and grabbed his cock, stroking it vigorously. Between the sight of Nicky's ejaculation, Chris moaning away beside him, the self-sucking and the fingering, Mikey was soon shooting his load too, making a show of spurting it into his mouth for Rob's entertainment, despite his own dislike of cum. It didn't take long until Chris was grunting his way through his own orgasm, shooting it into Nicky's cupped hand, only to find it presented at his mouth moments later. He eagerly lapped it up. Rob sat back, amused and aroused by the three consecutive orgasms he had just witnessed. "Your turn!" Nicky declared. He pounced onto Rob along with the other two. Nicky and Mikey each took one of his nipples, licking and nibbling on them as Chris went for his dick. Rob's moans were sudden and intense as the throuple set about making him cum as quickly as possible. "Fuck!" Rob whimpered. The excitable oral assault soon had Rob groaning his way through his own orgasm, spurting his load into Chris' mouth where it was eagerly swallowed. Panting as he lay looking up at the other three, he grinned and asked, "So whose birthday's next?" ***** The dance club boys burst into enthusiastic applause as the routine finished, although Blane mostly just looked relieved nobody had died! Apparently, such things were frowned upon by the school. The three boys that had just finished up were the Edwards brothers, identical twins Scott and Nathan from Year 13 and younger brother Harley from Year 8. The routine had included some impressive moves, many of which seemed to involve the younger sibling being thrown dangerously high into the air by the two older students. No longer transfixed by the energetic moves, Josh glanced round and spotted a familiar face at the back of the room. He grinned and waved at James, getting a wave back. "Hey, I'm gonna cut out a bit early," he said to Blane, nodding over to his friend. "No probs, big man," Blane replied, patting him on the back. "Keep working on those moves!" he added as he turned to speak to some other members of the club. "Guessing you're here for me and not to watch!" Josh said wryly as he approached the other boy. James' general disdain of non-academic subjects was well-known throughout the dorm. "Yeah," James said, "But I have to admit, what those guys just did was pretty impressive! Can you do stuff like that?" "Well I can get thrown around by guys bigger than me, but I had a lifetime of practice at that!" Josh said with a slight grin. Seeing the very uncertain expression of James' face he quickly added, "So what's up, bud?" "Can we go somewhere more private?" James asked, glancing round at the busy room. "Sure," Josh nodded. "One sec." He crossed the room and grabbed his bag, slinging it over his shoulder as they headed out. Once they were out into the main corridor, they began walking along towards the exit, intending to head back as it was almost dinnertime. They walked silently for a while, Josh sensing that James was clearly trying to build up to something and not wanting to put him off. A few weeks ago, the two had not really been on speaking terms and had only recently started talking to each other again, though Josh still didn't really know why they had fallen out in the first place. As they walked, they just passed the last of the pitches when James finally said, "So there's something I wanted to share with you, but I haven't really... said it before and it's kinda hard." "Okay, well... no rush," Josh said with a sincere smile and casual shrug. Seeing they were already halfway back to the Home Building and not even started yet, Josh nodded to the path that veered off into the ornamental gardens, heading into them with James following. "Well... you know when we got back after half-term, and I said I had stuff going on but I wasn't gonna talk about it with anyone?" James asked. He got a silent nod in return. "I think... I need to tell you about it." "Well I said I was always happy to listen and I meant it," Josh reassured him. James frowned a moment and said, "Actually, I was thinking I need to tell you... for your benefit as much as for mine!" Josh cocked his head curiously at the comment. "Hmm, now I'm definitely curious!" he chuckled. James forced a momentary smile, then took another deep breath. "So here's the thing," he started. "My mum died when I was really young, which is... ya know, whatever, it was a long time ago and... well it's not really related to this but the last thing she ever told me was to study hard and be a success, which is why... well... whatever." "Wow, but... that kinda tracks, yeah," Josh said, unsure how this related to himself so far. "Well recently I... kinda found out that my... uncle used to babysit me a lot when I was really young and it turns out when he was babysitting me, he used to... do things with me," James said, trembling a little as he added, "Sexual things!" "Fuck!" Josh exclaimed, grasping at James' hand. "I'm okay!" James insisted but kept hold of the hand. "See, it's weird because I don't really remember it, not properly, I just kinda remember... little bits, like... the nickname he used to call me," He shuddered slightly at the thought of it. "Or... how it felt when he... did that kinda stuff and it's sort of messed with my head a bit in ways I didn't even realise." "I can imagine why!" Josh said, still in shock. "But the thing that... that really shook me is, my... mum... knew about it! She actually let it happen," James explained, feeling Josh squeeze his hand. "It was only when my uncle died and I apparently said something about what my uncle used to do to me when my dad learned about it. When he found out that my mum knew what was going on, he made her leave, cos... well, she's clearly some kinda monster, but... he told me she'd died and I never saw her again after that. So it turns out I was... abused as a kid, my dead mum isn't actually dead and my dad's kept it all secret from me!" "Holy fuckery," Josh said, shaking his head. "I know you're not into them, but..." He didn't even get to finish before James leaned in for a hug. "Mate, that's... fuckin' mental!" Josh whispered as he held him. James held on for a second before he pulled away. "Yeah, it's been a lot to handle, but... I dunno, most of it's from, like, before I can even remember so it's like I KNOW it happened and I know it's all affected me... a lot... but it's not like I actually have the memories it to re-live over and over," he explained. "Fuck!" Josh repeated, shaking his head, "I swear this day is gonna kill me!" As he saw James stare at him wide-eyed, he said, "Sorry, bad choice of words. I just meant it's been... pretty extra!" "Good, I... knew this'd be tough to hear, but... I thought it'd help!" James explained. "Mate, not to sound insensitive, but the how the fuck is that a help?" Josh asked, chuckling a little. James sighed. He so often misunderstood other people and hoped he hadn't made an incorrect assumption in his decision to tell Josh his issues. "Well... I always got the feeling you felt a bit... alone!" James ventured. "Like, you were always the... the kid who got abused by his family and it maybe made you feel a bit... different from everyone else. So I thought if you knew you weren't the only one, it might make you feel... less... different?" Annoyed at breaking his promise to himself again, Josh felt his eyes getting watery. "That's... oh my god, James, you... you're dealing with all of that and you still thought about me? That's so freakin' sweet!" James smiled a little as he nodded. "It's just... I wanted to try and find some good from it, that's all!" Josh pulled the boy into another hug, the two standing silently for a few moments until Josh whispered, "Thank you for telling me. I know it was probably really hard!" "That's okay," James said as he let go, sighing heavily. Josh raised his hand for a high five. "Whadda you say? Abuse amigos?" James frowned, shook his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?" "Ugh, you sound just like Danny!" Josh grumbled, lowering his hand. James sighed and said, "Come on, it's dinnertime." "You... go on ahead," Josh urged him. "You okay?" James asked, concerned he had upset his friend. "Yeah!" Josh reassured him with a smile. "Like I said, today's been all about the feels. I just wanna... I dunno, take a minute!" Seeing James look worried he said, "Seriously, I'm fine, really! It's something I learned in therapy about, ya know, processing feelings or whatever!" James raised an eyebrow, sighed and raised a hand as he said, "Therapy? Then maybe we could be... Thera-pals!" Josh squealed with excitement at the suggestions, grinning broadly as he high-fived the other boy. "That's so stupid and I love it. Thera-pals for life!" "I hate myself so much right now!" James complained as he turned and headed back for the school. Josh sniggered as he turned and wandered over to the same bench he had shared with Danny earlier, though they had stopped at several benches during the other boy's tour of the gardens. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, running the day through his mind. He had totally expected it to be an emotional day, though largely from his own feelings over Ryan and Mark, but the moments he had shared with Danny and James took it even further than he expected. Despite the tears, and the terrible things James had been through, Josh actually felt positive. He was closer than ever to his friends, and he sat focusing on all the things that had made him smile throughout the day. As he heard other boys passing a short distance away, heading back for dinner, he opened his eyes and took a couple more breaths, enjoying the various scents of the plants filling the gardens as part of the mindfulness exercises he had learned. As he stood and took one more deep breath, he heard something behind him. Turning to see what it was, he froze, eyes wide. "Ryan!" he exclaimed, seeing his big brother standing before him. ***** "Hey Alex!" "Alex! Hi!" "Y'alright Alex!" Chris, David and Nicky chirped as they passed the older boy on the way out of book club. "Sorry, I didn't catch your name," Adrian smirked as he followed behind the other three. "It's Larry!" Alex sniggered, getting a grin from the younger boy. "Hey Larry!" Rob said, smiling as he followed Adrian out of the room. They both laughed as Alex put an arm around his boyfriend. "Can we... erm... can we go and talk?" Alex asked cautiously. Rob gulped. "Well that's never a good thing to hear!" he said shakily. Alex smiled, but it was clearly forced. "I'm sorry!" Rob said immediately. "I... I'm sorry, I... I know I shouldn't have, but..." "Wait, hold up!" Alex said, shaking his head. "You haven't done anything wrong... have you?" he asked as they reached the entrance foyer. "Come on, let's take this outside!" he requested, then smirked and said, "To talk. I know that made it sound like we were gonna fight, but you're safe, I swear!" Rob chuckled but still felt nervous as he followed Alex out the door. "I was gonna go first, but maybe... you want to tell me what you were apologising for!" Alex suggested, his brow furrowing. Rob sighed. It was out now; he may as well just say it. "I think I've been cheating on you!" he admitted. Alex looked confused. "Erm... open relationship!" he said with a shrug. Rob sighed again and nodded. "I know, but... that's just for sex stuff. I think... I've been letting myself have feelings for... someone else! And I'm so sorry!" "Oh, erm... well..." Alex stuttered for a moment before he surprised Rob with a smile. "I was... kinda wanting to... break up with you!" "Oh!" Rob said, more than a little surprised. "Erm... why?" "Well for one, you're cheating on me!" Alex sniggered, shaking his head, though Rob didn't laugh with him. He let out a hearty sigh and said, "So... I'd been thinking about this for a while and... I don't think me and you got together for the right reasons. I was going through a REALLY hard time and I kinda had no-one, but then you started... being nice and spending time with me and I was, like, YES, someone actually tolerates me. Grab him quick!" Rob nodded along as he listened. "But since things have... got better, it's just made me see that... things aren't right. I feel bad as my life is only better BECAUSE of you, but at the same time, I feel like you deserve to be with someone who wants you above everyone else, not just someone who... kinda took the only option," Alex explained. "I was hoping we could still be friends because... well... we ARE friends but now I realise I've said all that and felt really bad about it when you've just admitted you're cheating, so may I should feel so bad, but I'm talking a lot and it'd be really, really helpful if you maybe stopped me and perhaps said something yourself and..." "Okay, okay!" Rob said, grabbing Alex's hand. "Stop!" he said, smiling. "So... yeah, that's... that's a lot to take but I... I think I understand what you mean. Honestly, I kinda did the same. I didn't feel like anyone would be attracted to me, but suddenly there you were and I jumped at it too, so I get where you're coming from." "Good, I'm glad!" Alex nodded as they continued wandering. He suddenly reached out to punch Rob's arm as he asked, "You were cheating on me, ya dick?" Rob's gaze dropped to the ground as he walked along, nodding gently. "I mean, yeah, kind of. It's not like I'm going round saying `I love you' to anyone else and I don't even know if... this other guy is even into me that way!" "Wait, so you think you MIGHT have feelings for someone and you don't even know if he likes you?" Alex asked. "That's not really cheating. Sure, maybe... pre-cheating... which I suppose is almost as bad, but..." he paused and sighed. "Look, I've been beating myself up over wanting to break up with you and you seem like you've been doing the same and it kinda... sounds like we both actually want to break up, right?" "I wouldn't say I want to," Rob insisted. "I DO love you, ya know!" "And I love you too," Alex replied, reaching out to gently touch Rob's hand. "But yeah, I think you're right," Rob conceded. "Great, so... we're broken up. Sweet. And still friends?" Alex asked hopefully. "Of course!" Rob replied. "Great!" Alex said happily. He quickly turned to Rob, rolled his eyes and said, "Ugh, so glad you're here. My ex is SUCH a dick!" "Oh you know what, me too!" Rob laughed. "Hey, we should..." Alex started, then stopped mid-sentence, eyes widening as he stared off across the school gardens. "We shooooould..." Rob prompted him, grinning until he saw the look on Alex's face. "Alex?" he asked quietly. "No!" Alex muttered, shaking his head. They were just on the edge of the ornamental gardens. He started walking quickly, Rob close behind but soon burst into a run. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Alex screamed out as he launched himself onto Ryan, tackling him to the ground as he punched him in the face. "Alex, what are you..." Rob called out, unable to see who he was attacking. He stopped as he spotted Josh. Alex turned and called out, "Rob, go get a teacher. Tell them to call the police!" "No, wait!" Josh called out. "What's happening?" Rob asked, scared and confused. He moved round and saw Ryan laying on the floor beneath Alex. "Fuck!" he gasped. "J... Josh, let's go," he said, reaching out his hand. "No, please, stop. Both of you!" Josh pleaded. "Are you FUCKING mental?" Alex yelled. "This guy's a fucking psychopath! You're not safe!" "Alex, if he wanted to hurt me, he already would have. We were... just talking!" Josh said, moving to pull Alex off of his brother. "Please," he pleaded softly. Alex looked unsure, but as Rob gave him a nod he glared at Ryan, then climbed off. As Alex backed away, Ryan climbed to his feet, wiping a small trickle of blood from his nose. "Whadda you want, Ryan? You know you're not allowed to be here!" Alex said, barely holding himself back. "I came to talk to my brother!" Ryan said pointedly. "Ex brother!" Rob added firmly. He and Alex were now stood either side of Josh, ready to defend him if needed. Ryan nodded. "Yeah, ex brother," he sighed. "He... he just apologised," Josh said quietly. Alex scoffed loudly. "Oh, everything's okay then, we'll just leave you to it!" he said sarcastically. "Alex, please, can you... just let us talk for a minute?" Josh requested. "Fine!" Alex huffed. "But... you sit there," he said to Josh, pointing to the bench. "And you sit there," he continued, nodding to Ryan then a bench opposite. "And if we see either of you move, we're coming back!" He remained still until the two former siblings sat as instructed, then guided Rob a short distance away to give some privacy while keeping them in sight. "So... like I said before... I came here to apologise to you," Ryan explained. Josh stared back for a moment. "For what?" he asked bluntly. "Whadda you mean, for what? For... for everything!" Ryan said, shaking his head. "No, I... I'm gonna need more than that," Josh demanded. "Are you sorry for all the times you hit me? Or letting your friends use me for sex? Or for convincing me it was my fault dad died? Or for terrorising me with your twisted fucking tortures? I mean, I could go on, but I'm pretty sure you get the idea, right?" "I do, I do," Ryan nodded. "Okay, so maybe there's too much to ever really apologise for, but..." he let out a sigh, "He convinced me! Mark did. He convinced me that you were to blame for all of it. He's my big brother and he told me... it was your fault and... and I believed him." "So you're saying it's all Mark's fault?" Josh asked angrily. "So you're innocent cos Mark's the real bad guy?" "No," Ryan said, shaking his head. "I mean, he definitely started it and maybe back then I was... young enough and... stupid enough to believe it, but... I'm well past the point I can use that excuse. It's just... I've been doing the therapy they made us go to and... dealing with the things I did and I... fuck, I don't even know why I'm here. I just... I know the reason I'm not locked up right now is because of you!" "I swear, if you THANK me for not being in prison, I'm gonna come over there and punch your teeth down your throat one at a time!" Josh growled. "No, I... I wouldn't. I know you did that... for mum, not for me or Mark. I just... wanted to see that you were okay," Ryan explained. "I'm not!" Josh said, standing up. He saw Alex and Rob begin to move but gestured for them to stay back. "I survived years with two of the worst human beings on the planet. I escaped a situation no kid should ever be in. And now... now I've got a foster family who loves me. I've got friends who would die for me. I've got a life that's happy and safe and I actually have a future now. So I'm not `okay', I'm fucking amazing and I'm over you... and Mark... and I don't need to hear whatever it is you want to say or whatever excuses you have for what you did. So right now, I'm going to walk away and you're going to leave through whatever hole your slithered in through and I am NEVER going to see you again. Is that clear?" Ryan stared back at his little brother for a moment, then nodded. Josh gave the young man one final look before turning to head towards Rob and Alex. Alex immediately rushed to Josh, placed a hand on his back and guided him to Rob as he said, "Take him inside!" Rob began to ask, "What are you..." "It's okay!" Alex assured him, raising a hand. "I'll be right behind you. I just... have to do something!" He ran after Ryan, who looked to be heading through the back of the school grounds, presumably the way he had snuck in and called out, "Ryan, wait!" Ryan looked back and stopped. He raised his hand to his jaw and said, "You've got a good right hook!" "You deserve more than that!" Alex said, fists clenching again. "I do!" Ryan agreed with him, nodding a little. "You're an absolute cunt for what you did to Josh, but you really fucked me up too, ya know!" Alex said shakily. He had dreamed about this moment. Ryan had been his mentor for years before Josh even came to the school. He had been his teacher, his guide, his confidante and even his first lover. "Probably cos I'm pretty fucked up myself!" Ryan shrugged. "Did you ever care about me at all?" Alex demanded. "Or was I just... something for you and Mark to pour all of your... hatred into? Some... tool to use against Josh?" Ryan stared back for a moment. "Be honest. Is there any answer I can give that'll make you feel better?" he asked. Alex thought for a moment, then shook his head. "That's what I thought," Ryan said. "I know it's meaningless, but... I'm sorry Alex." Alex stared for a moment. There had been so many things he wanted to say to his former mentor, or to hear him say, or explain, but as he stood there now, all he wanted was for him to leave. Eyes narrowing, he shook his head a little as he said, "Just so you know... if you do ever come back here, or go anywhere near Josh again... I'll kill you myself!" Ryan stared back at the boy he had mentored for several moments. He meant every word. Ryan nodded, then turned to walk away. Alex watched for a moment, then headed back. Rob and Josh were stood just outside the gardens waiting for him. "You okay?" Rob asked cautiously. "Yeah, yeah I am," Alex said a little shakily. He looked to the two boys and asked, "Are you?" As Rob nodded, both he and Alex looked to Josh who had gone exceptionally quiet. He began to tremble, squeaking a little as he tried in vain to hold back tears. By the time Alex and Rob had both wrapped themselves around him he was sobbing helplessly. It continued for several minutes, the other two just standing and holding him silently as he cried himself out and gradually began to calm. With the tears seemingly stopped, Alex let go, followed a moment later by Rob. Josh sniffed heavily then raised his arm and wiped his nose casually on his sleeve with a slight snort. "Oh, you are just pure sex!" Rob teased. "I know, right!" Josh said, smiling meekly. "Feel better?" Alex asked, gently squeezing his shoulder. Josh smiled as he nodded slightly and said, "I... I think I do, actually!" "Really?" Rob asked, frowning. "Really!" Josh insisted. "I just need to... avoid any more surprises today. I think I'm maxed out on drama!" Alex chuckled as he placed an arm around each of them, heading back the school. He smiled knowingly for a moment then said quietly, "So... erm... this might not be the best time to mention that... me and Rob broke up then?" "What!" Josh exclaimed in surprise. "Long story, I'll tell you over dinner!" Rob said with a slight chuckle. ----------------------------------- Stay tuned, new chapters coming every Friday.
