Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 06:17:24 -0400 From: walrus Subject: the truth about iceland, chapter 9 "Damn..." Jakob panted. "I was afraid you were going to drown in it all." His tool now hung harmlessly against his left thight as I picked myself up. "That was pretty hot." I sighed ecstatically. Jakob did the same, and thankfully, he seemed a lot less tense now. "Yeah... now I won't be so worked up when I beat that ginger's ass in." he sighed again. "Jakob... I've been meaning to talk to you about your temper." I said awkwardly. He raised his eyebrows at me. "What do you mean?" "Well... it's just that when you get mad... you become a danger to everyone around you. Last night you even threw me to the ground in your anger." I said timidly. "You aren't... afraid of me.. are you?" "No, I know that you would never hurt me on purpose.. but you might on accident. Hell, you almost killed Cody..." "I have to be forceful to protect us all... don't you know that?" "You don't have to be so angry about it though." "So what do you want me to do then?" "Well.. if it's no problem with you, I'd like for you to talk to a therapist or--" "No. I'm not talking to a therapist. I don't trust adults." "Why not?" "They think they know what it's like to be a teenager, but they seem to have forgotten that things are different from when they were a teen. They'd probably say I'm clinically insane and send me to a psycho hospital." "Well then... why don't you talk to another teen about your problems?" "Listen baby, are you mad at me?" he asked, putting a loving arm around me. "N-no..." I felt myself choke up. "I'm such an asshole... It's just that.. I think you'd be happier if you could control your anger." I was crying. I had hurt the guy I loved, myself, and was embarrassing myself at the same time. "Listen." He said, pushing me gently into a laying position. "I'm not mad. You're perfect baby... there's no one else like you. I'd walk through fire for you, and right now, I'll do whatever you want." He held himself up above me so he didn't crush me, but so that our faces were inches away from each other. "Really?" I whispered, my glistening tears reflecting mixed emotions. "Really really. If you can give me a student's name to talk to, I will." He said, bending down and kissing my neck gently. I felt a lot better now, and regained the ability to speak in full sentences. "Well, there's that girl who leads the psychology club..." I said, clearing my throat. "There's a psychology club?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, but obviously, not many people know about it because she isn't very popular. She is what some people would call a geek. We talk some in history, but not often, you see." He made a "mhm" noise, his nose nuzzling my chest. I giggled again. "So, tomorrow you'll explain the situation and see if she'll be my shrink? Good." he said, stretching out his chest. "Don't refer to her as a shrink, showoff." I said, playfully punching him in the abs. "Haha, what? You wanna go?" he grinned. "Are you calling me out punk?" I said. We laughed stupidly at our lame attempts of being mean. "Maybe I am." he said, putting his hands in mine, and looking down at me seductively. "Maybe?" I whispered. "Definitely." he whispered back. I felt his manhood coming to life again as he moved me around effortlessly with just his legs. "Round two?" I said, snickering. "Ready, set, go." He said. "What are you, a referee?" "No, your worst enemy!" And we were at it. Our little naked wrestling match didn't long due to Jakob's immense amount of strength versus my barely average musculature. He had me in a pretty strong grasp, with my arms held behind my back and one of his strong arms bearhugging me. "I give up! I give up!" I said in a high pitched voice. "You sound like a girl." He said, laughing. "No I don't! Take that back!" "Make me!" "Grrr!" I was pretty sure that he let me take him down that time. We were on the floor making out, our packages in plain site, when Lilja came in. "Ahhhh!" Lilja and we yelled. Jakob snatched a cover from the bed and hid most of our bodies from view. "Ever heard of knocking!?" Jakob said, his face extremely red from embarrassment. "Ever heard of the rubberband system!?" Lilja countered. We all burst out laughing. "Rubberband system?" Jakob said mockingly. "Yeah!" Lilja said in her defense. "What are you, American?" Lilja replied with some Icelandic that sounded very rude indeed. Jakob was about to reply when Anna and Emma came upstairs and said, "Guys! We need to talk!" "What the hell? We were about to--" Jakob started, but Anna ignored him. "We got a letter from the school." "But the mailman has already been through today..." I started. "It seems as though they sent out someone personally to deliver it. It must be important." Anna said excitedly. I had an uneasy feeling about it, and I seriously doubted it was a happy letter. "Well go on, read it." Jakob said. Anna cleared her throat and read: "To Nathan Enzy, The personel of Clouder High School has received intelligence that you, along with four other students, Jakob Eriksson, Emma Storvall, Lilja Flosadottir, and Anna Arnardottir, were truant for periods two, three, four, five, six, and seven. As this is each of you's first offense, you all will only be suspended for three days. Students under suspension may not step foot on, or in a one hundred feet radius of, property owned by the school. A map has been included inside to show you exactly where you may not go. You will receive any missed work within these suspended days on the very day which you come back. Teachers are not obligated to any make up work days, nor do they have to follow any rules concerning the make up work. If a teacher sees it fit to provide extra punishment for your truancy, then they may do so. Principal of Clouder High School, James Weatherfield." "This sucks!" Emma said. "This rocks!" I exclaimed. "What will we do?" cried out Anna. "Let's rent some movies!" Lilja added. "Let's get some clothes on!" Jakob said comically. "Anyway! What should we do?" Anna said, ignoring everyone else. "Well, you guys could stay here tonight. We could, as Lilja suggested, rent some movies or something..." "What about that shrink?" Jakob asked timidly. "A shrink? Who's getting a shrink?" Emma's ears perked up. "I am, for anger problems." Jakob said grumpily. "Do you think it's necessary?" Anna asked curiously. "I mean, therapists always try to get inside your head." "Well... I'm not going to be seeing a real therapist. I'm going to be seeing the head of the psychology club." "Oh, her." Emma said nastily, as though the very thought made her sick. "What don't you like about her?" I asked, starting to get annoyed. "She's just a freak." "Do you even know her?" Anna piped up. "Let's talk about something else. I'll decide if she's weird or not for myself, thanks." Jakob said, silencing everyone. "So then! Let's order pizza!" Lilja suggested. "Er, I don't think I have any--" "I'll pay." Jakob said, cutting my mumbles short. "Great! Until then, we'll let you two get back to whatever..." Lilja said, giggling. "Trust us, you killed the mood." Jakob said sourly. "Nonsense!" Lilja said, ushering the other girls out of the room. I could have sworn that I heard the girls talking about our cocks. "That was awkward." Jakob said. I just shrugged. "They're just mad that we don't want them like that." I said, grinning as we both put on a pair of jeans. "Obviously! Who wouldn't want you?" he grinned. I just blushed and said, "Yeah yeah. So anyway, about Jennifer. I'll just e-mail her." "Jennifer?" he asked blankly. "The head of the psychology club." "Oh! So that's her name!" "Precisely." He grinned. As I took my time writing a long e-mail to Jennifer, Jakob worked out in the background. I had a hard time controlling myself from jumping his bones, because the grunting sounds he made as he worked out his muscles were godly. "I thought a guy like you would need machines to work out." I said. "Why do you think that?" He said, now doing pushups. "I don't know, it just seems like at-home workouts wouldn't help a guy as big as you." "Really now?" He said, getting up and walked over towards me. His body glistened with sweat, and his masculine scent filled the air once more. "What are you doing?" he asked curiously. "I just sent Jen a message on MySpace." I said shyly. "Haha! I didn't know you used MySpace!" "Everyone does." "Not me!" "Yeah, but everyone knows Iceland is like five hundred years behind everyone else." "Haha, that's mean." He said, playfully punching me in the arm. It hurt a lot, even though he barely tapped me, but I wasn't about to tell him. "Hey meanie." I said, standing up to face him. Since my face was on eye level with his pecs, I got another facefull of that awesome scent. He reached down and picked me up, and I felt a romantic moment coming on until-- "What's that?" Jakob pointed out. An AIM IM box had popped up on my screen. "Seany_boy101 has sent you a message...?" Jakob said, reading the window. "Who is that?" I asked, more to myself than Jakob, yet he still answered with a shrug. "Read it anyway." I clicked the button and saw an IM that was splattered with rude words everywhere. Seany_boy101: Haha, hey fag. I heard that you and your fairyfriend got suspended. Good job! What happened, did you get caught buttfucking in the shower? I read the IM to myself, then aloud. Jakob tensed up again, his gentle grip on my shoulder becoming a bonebreaking one. "Keep your cool baby." I whispered. He seemed to remember what I had talked to him about before, because he loosened up. "Just ignore him... when the school finds out that he was involved in Lilja's incident, he won't be the one laughing." I said soothingly. "If you don't want me to do anything, then I won't. But I could use a stress reliever right now." he said. "Work out?" I suggested, eager to see his muscles at work again. "I don't want to bore you though..." "It's no problem! I need to go talk to the others anyway, and get the rest of the night planned out." I said winking. "Great. That should give me plenty of time." he said, pulling me off of my feet and into his arms. He kissed me before letting me out of his steel grip. "See you later then." I giggled, leaving the room. "What's going on?" Emma asked as I walked into the living room, where the girls were sitting on a large couch. "Sean's just talking shit over AIM. It's no big deal." I said casually. "How's Jakob then?" Lilja asked suspiciously. "Working out his anger; literally." I said. "Okay then! So, what are we going to do tonight?" Anna asked. "I don't know... but I'm tired of movies. We need to go out and do something awesome." I said imaginatively. "Like what?" asked Lilja. "Well, Wal-Mart is always open all day long." I said in an off-hand voice. The girls all laughed. "Wal-Mart?" Emma said mockingly. "Hey! It would be fun! We could sleep in the sleeping bags and do stuff. My mom said that the night shift workers always just sleep in the employees' room." I said. "Actually, it sounds great..." Lilja and Anna said. "What do you say Emmerz?" I asked. "Sure!" Emma said, laughing at my lame nickname. "Have we gone mad?" Lilja said, giggling at our insanity. I was glad that she wasn't down in the dumps due to recent events. "Oh my god Nate! Before you go get your boyfriend, we totally have to talk to you!" Emma said giddily. I groaned, because I knew what this was about; our sex life. "Lilja said she saw y'all naked!" Emma continued. My face turned red, but I still said, "Yes. What about it?" "Well?? What were y'all doing? How big is he?" she asked in a rushed voice, as though the world would end at any moment and she would die without the details. "That's personal." I said, my nose in the air. "Oh. My. God! We have been best friends forever! You have got to tell me!" she begged. "Fine!" I said, grinning at myself. "I gave him a blowjob." I said modestly. "He wears the pants?" Emma said incredulously. I laughed at her seriousness. "Well, let's see. His muscles are so big that he intimidates grown men, he is so tall that I'm on 'nipple level' with him, his tool is the biggest thing I've ever seen, and his voice is deeper than my speaker's bass. So yeah, he wears the pants." "Well, how big was it then?" Emma said, not wasting any time. "What, do you think I took a tape measure out of my ass and said, 'Oh hey, let's measure your cock!'?" I shot back at her. Lilja and Anna were shaking with laughter as Jakob walked into the room. "Wow, my cock is the topic of y'all's conversation? Hot." He said slyly. I was too embarrassed to talk, so Emma said, "Totally! But anyway, we've decided to spend the night in Wal-Mart!" He looked at us as though we were pulling some sort of April fool's day prank. "Wal-Mart?" he repeated. "Yeah! Haven't you guys Wal-Mart in Iceland?" she said sarcastically. "Well, yeah, but we can't just spend the night there." "Why not?" I piped up. "Well.. I guess we can.. if you want..." he said shyly. "Perfect! It's settled then!" "Yeah, but how will we get there?" Lilja asked. "Um..." I said, going blank. "We could tell your mom that we're meeting some people up there." Emma suggested. "Perfect!" we all said. We hung out and talked while waiting for my mom to get home, and when she finally did, we convicned her to give us a ride. When we finally arrived, Jakob said, "I can't believe we're doing this." "I can." I muttered. "Anything's possible with these weirdos." I pointed towards the girls who were getting out of the car. "Hey Nathan, let me talk to you for a second." My mom said to me. "Go on with them." I told Jakob. "Ha! You think I'm going to leave you to walk alone at 1:00am? I'm not letting you out of my site, boyfriend." he said with a smirk. "Fine." I said, turning to my mom. "All I want to say is to be careful, don't talk to strangers, be nice--" "Mom, you're embarrassing me!" I said shyly. "Well okay, just keep your senses hon. I love you." "I love you too." I said, hugging her. "Awww!" Jakob exclaimed as I joined him. "Shut up." I said, as Jakob continued his 'awing' while putting an arm around my waist. "Jakob!" I whispered. "What? Are you afraid of all the people around us knowing that we're gay?" he said sarcastically. He had a point, since the whole parking lot was empty. "Yeah yeah." I muttered. Before we managed to get to the door, an old man with a hunchback walked in front of us. He turned to me and asked, "Have you a coin to spare?" as though Jakob didn't exist. "N-no." I said, taken aback by the beggar's sudden precense. "Are yeh sure?" he asked maliciously, stepping forward. Jakob lifted me into his arms, smiled at the beggar, said "Yes, we're sure." and knocked him effortlessly aside as he strutted into the store with me still in his arms. "Didn't know there were beggars in this town." I said meekly as Jakob put me down. "I didn't think they were so abrasive." Jakob said. "Yeah well, there's the girls." I said, pointing to the dairy aisle. "Heyy! What took y'all?" Emma said in her cheery voice. "Nothing. What's up guys?" I said, not wanting to ruin the mood with a boring story. "It seems as though it's just like we hoped for; the employees are asleep, and the place is somewhat deserted." Lilja said. "Somewhat?" Jakob asked suspiciously. "Well, there are some young guys scattered about the store, but only like two or three." Emma explained. "We won't have to worry about them then." Jakob said cheerfully, flexing gently. "Blah blah Jakob, no one's afraid of you." Anna said sarcastically. As we all knew, there were probably a lot of people afraid of Jakob, but at the moment it was hilarious. "You know what we need?" Emma said as she turned up a stereo that was set to a techno station. "Hmm?" we asked. "A party." Emma said giddily on the balls of her feet. "You guys just keep coming up with one idea after the other, don't you?" Jakob said. "Well yeah! Hello! It's almost Christmas break! We could totally throw a party!" "Perfect! We will think about it while we piss!" I said, pulling Jakob towards the bathrooms by the hand. "What do you think about it?" I asked him as we approached the doors. "It would be awesome to relieve some of this stress..." he said. "And maybe the girls could meet some guys, I don't know..." "Great!" I said, now washing my hands. "But where would we throw it?" "I guess we'll talk about--" "I couldn't help but notice that you and your friends were talking about a party." a young man interrupted me. He looked like he was 18 or 19, but sounded like he was 15. "I bet you could." Jakob said hotly. "Who are you, and why are you talking to him?" "Who are you, his boyfriend?" the guy sneered. "Actually," Jakob stepped in front of the guy intimidatingly, "I am." The guy looked like he had just seen a ghost. "H-homos-sexuals!" he gasped. "Oh Lord Almighty, have mercy on these young souls! They don't know any better Lord!" he cried out. "Whatever." I said. We were doing all that we could to not burst out laughing. "Y-you two! You must realize the s-sins you're c-c-omitting!" he ranted on. "We may be gay, but at least we don't talk to ourselves." Jakob said. I was extremely glad that he was keeping his cool, and even happier that he was making this into a joke. "Listen to what I have to say--" "Yeah, that's what we're going to do." Jakob joked again, pushing the guy aside and walking forward. All was well until I felt the man grab the back of my shirt. "Foolish boys! You have no idea--" "Sorry man." Jakob said. He walked up to the guy and put the small guy in a deadly headlock until he fell to the ground unconscious. In spite of the man's homophobia, I was still real happy how Jakob had handled the situation. I hugged him tightly as he said, "How was that for a change?" "Better." I said suggestively. "Good." he put the same arm he used to knock the weird guy unconscious around me. "Have I told you how sexy you look in underarmor?" I said. "No, you haven't. How sexy do I look?" he asked, grinning. "Well, your abs show through it all.. as do your nipples..." I said, licking my lips like a stupid dog. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my detailed description because the girls came striding towards us. "We've got it!" Emma proclaimed. "Got what?" Jakob and I asked together. "Welllll, we would need a place to party at, right?" "Sure." we said, again, together. "We decided we could do it at Lilja's house!" she exclaimed. "That sounds great." we said. "Yeah! Now weirdos, WE are going to go look at the make up. You two don't get too physical!" Emma said in a royal-like voice before walking off. "Watch this." I whispered to Jakob, grabbing a water bottle from a nearby shelf. I unscrewed the lid and-- "OH MY GOD!" Emma screamed as water ran through hair, down to her clothes. I was surprised she didn't wake the employees. She ran behind a nearby aisle and grabbed a bag of doritos, ripped them open, and flung the bag at me, showering me with the cheesy chips. "Oh my god!" I mirrored her. The girls joined in, and flung dip and more water at us. "Hey losers!" Jakob roared, ducking behind a computer desk as a large array of different candy flung in his direction. I ripped open a pack of paper plates and threw one in frizby-fashion towards Emma, which hit her across the cheek. "Haha!" I grinned, while dodging more doritos that were flung in my direction. After a few hours, we decided to stop and clean up the huge mess we made. "God, what time is it?" Jakob asked, yawning. "5am it seems..." I said, looking at a huge clock, still in its package. "I wonder what's keeping these employees asleep...?" Lilja thought aloud. But then we saw it. "Wow! Look at that! Ambien!" I said, pointing to a small bottle of pills on the checkout table. "Looks like the employees don't like to be bothered." Jakob grinned. "Yeah yeah, well speaking of Ambien, I'm feeling rather tired." I yawned. "I am too." The girls said in unison. "Okay then, I guess we had better sleep." Jakob suggested. We made our way to the bedding section and grabbed some sleeping bags. Jakob chose the largest one he could find for us two, but it was too small, yet I enjoyed the close contact. Since he was so heavy, he laid down first and I got on top of him. My small body affected him in no way as I laid on top of him. We barely had a chance to talk, because I was out like a light. We did, however, manage to slip in an "I love you" before drifting off into our pleasant dreams.
