Feedback: javabiscuit@hotmail.com Back to the Playground ~ chapter three by Biscuit When my shrink decided it was time to talk about sex, I didn't say a word about Josh and Lauren and the whole thing with the club. Didn't talk about Skyler either. What would I say? I'm hot for this seven year old kid who lives down the hall? Once Skyler had washed himself up, the day of the pissing prisoner game -- granted, with me watching him, kind of casual, but still, I didn't walk away -- I wrapped him up in one of Helen's big fluffy towels and we hit the couch to watch TV while his clothes were in the wash. Summertime, but in the apartment it got cold from the air conditioning. I hate that. Sometimes I'd go out just to warm up, not even bothering to take a jay with me. I stretched out on the couch in the TV room, as Helen called it, could be called a den or family room, though I'm the only family they've got. Helen didn't believe in having a TV in the living room. One of the few bits of arguments I heard between her and my brother. Anyway, it was chilly in there and Skyler was drawn to me like a heat seeking missile. Hugging himself in the towel he sat his butt down next to my hip, not even pretending to look at the TV. "You think I'm a baby because of what I did?" he said, with the air of a challenge. "Nah, I don't think you're a baby," I told him, not bothering to say what I did think of him; adorable, irresistible, sexy little faggot. The last part, I think I can probably chalk up to that projection thing. "You carried me like a baby." Did I? Did it bug him? "Sorry." He shrugged, giving me a stuck out bottom lip look, not so much a pout, like he was thinking. "It's okay. I mean I know you did it to cover for me." His leg started swinging a little, banging his heel on the bottom of the couch. "I'm not a baby. You're not so much older than me." Oh, Jesus. Was this going to be the part where he asked me to be his girlfriend? "Two times you plus another year," I said firmly. "My brother's older than you are," he countered. "So." "So, you're not so old." When I was his age I thought kids three years older than me were practically grown ups. He was bluffing his way to something. "Okay, so I'm not so old, what of it?" "I don't know." He looked me over without looking up at my face, then over at the TV, but he was only pretending to watch it. "My mom told my brother he should be nice to you, cause you're sick." Oh God. I could just imagine Helen chatting with her neighbors, wringing out the sympathy. What the fuck did she tell people? What was there to tell? How they'd run out of special schools to send me to, how I'd got a nasty coke habit at fourteen. I was over that, at least. Pot didn't count as far as I was concerned. Did she tell people I'm gay? That I got picked up for trying to turn tricks? Skyler was looking at me again, now right at my face. "You seem okay to me," he said. God bless him. I felt myself break a grin and his matched it. Then he all of a sudden launched himself at me, in the bundle of towel and the little fucker was solid enough to almost knock the wind out, landing on my chest, but I caught him. I knew he was grinding his dick into me, I knew he'd got himself parked right on my hard cock and was humping me as sure as I'd ridden a stuffed dog with the same spread kneed technique. So, call me Tiger. I let him get whatever he could through all that toweling and my pants, and when he was done, I let him rest for a while. Then I got his clothes and he got dressed, and I sent him home so I could jerk off. And did I think about Skyler while I was doing it? Oh yes. In my mind I had him greased up like Josh did me and I was blowing my load all over his ass. Then I slunk under the covers of my bed with the shades drawn and cried. God only knows why, nothing and everything. Somewhere along the line I got up and went to the bathroom and started going through all the junk in the medicine cabinet looking for pills. Any kind of pills. God knows they didn't have anything much of interest. I think I took a handful of cold pills, aspirin, something Helen had for cramps and went back to bed to see if it would kill me or put me to sleep. When I woke up, my brother Karl was there, in the dark bedroom, asking me if I wanted dinner. I felt like shit but felt sorry for my brother, standing over the bed looking down at me, looking confused. "Yeah, I'll come eat something," I told him, trying to sit up, even though my guts were telling me I'd bring up anything I tried to put in my stomach. I was dizzy and groggy. "Charlotte, from down the hall came by," he said. My mind ran to Skyler, the only down the hall reference I had. The sick feeling in my gut got worse. "Yeah?" I said. "She said to tell you thanks. Her son told her you helped him out when some kids were picking on him out in the playground." Karl gave me a kind of smile. Jesus, Skyler, I thought, you're as big a liar as I used to be. If only I had rescued him, instead of letting them do what they did and then taking advantage of him after it was done. Still, it made me feel good to think that he'd tried to make me look like something other than sick, to his mom. Had I done anything good? Had I done something bad? If I had, at least Skyler didn't think so. Pretty pathetic to pin your self image on the good graces of a seven year old you wish you could nail. But I felt a tiny bit more like part of the human race and I dragged my ass out of bed and got up to face the chill of the apartment and my sister in law. So I didn't tell my shrink about Skyler. I told him about other stuff. I'm not exactly proud of this thing about Skyler or the junk I did when I was little. I know talking to your shrink isn't supposed to be about what you're proud of. I'll get around to it, I guess. I talked to him about Joe, my sister's boyfriend that I ended up fucking. What a mess that was. Boy, was she glad to see the last of me. She lives down in Brooklyn and took me after my brother Greg had his fill of me out in California. Didn't take long for that. He was the first one to take me in after our mom died. When I was ten. It seemed to make some sense, I guess, since she and I were living out near him in Oakland. He was sort of her favorite kid and she wanted to be near him after my dad died. Greg's a big fag, like me, or maybe not quite like me. He's the straightest kind of gay guy you'll ever meet. It wasn't such a great idea for him to try to take care of me. His lover Marvin wasn't happy with it from the start. I started having a bad time of it out there. Sneaking out of school, getting into trouble. Greg and Marvin weren't ready to deal with a kid. I was with them for a couple of years before my sister, who's a teacher, said, send me to her. She was still married then, but it was getting shaky. I like my sister fine. Things were okay with us, but school stuff was bad. I just didn't want to be there. She must have tried me at ten different schools in the three years I lived there. She knew a lot of people with different school programs and kept thinking she'd find the right wacko kind of school thing to fit me. Meantime things were getting worse for her and her husband. Then the coke came along and I thought I'd found a perfect life. Every guy I picked up seemed to have it and be happy to get me high. Then it was guys I didn't want to pick up, but did stuff with them anyway to either get some or they'd slip me some money and I could buy it. I didn't think of it as turning tricks, but the cop I came on to did. That freaked her out, big time. She got me into the rehab outpatient thing and found my psychiatrist. Then she found me with her boyfriend Todd, and that was it. The next day Karl showed up to get me and my stuff. God, the two of us cried, me and her. She told me she didn't blame me for the thing with Todd, but she needed a break, needed to be on her own for awhile and sort things out. My sister Lisa is a kind, smart, beautiful woman, and I feel like shit for what I put her through. The Todd thing, God. I didn't set out to do anything with him. The first time it happened, he came in my room after she left for work and sat on the bed to talk to me. Mr. Macho. A buff guy. Good looking, straight, or so he claimed. He was wearing a pair of pajama bottoms with the fly part of them half unsnapped. Of course I looked. Who wouldn't if somebody sat down and bent their knee like he did, gaping the front of them wide open, practically. "You checking me out?" he asked with a big grin, like he thought it was pretty funny. "Sure looks like you want me to," I said. Another laugh, but not so amused. That must not have been the line he was expecting. "I'm a straight arrow kid, always have been, always will be." Yeah, check's in the mail, whatever. He was getting a boner and I was checking it out. This was the part I'm sure he planned, where I'd look at his dick and he'd tell me how, if ever did think about doing something with a guy, it would be a guy like me, as pretty as my sister. I felt a lot of different things about him. I felt better than him, because I knew he was stringing me along to get his hands on me. I felt pissed at him for being a cheating asshole behind my sister's back. And I admit it, I felt flattered that he thought I was as desirable as Lisa. So, yeah, I knew what he was up to, and I fell for it anyway. You can't get much dumber than that. I knew he was trying to give me a charge out of thinking I was the only one he'd consider fooling around with, and I got charged all right. My whole body shivered with it. He was tracing patterns on my bare chest, like he was drawing a picture, while he was talking, and I just kept letting him, watching his dick lift up the thin stuff of his pants, waving at me like a dog with its nose up to take a sniff around. I got so turned on, feeling his rough fingertips circling my tits, looking at his big dick getting harder and harder. "What do you like about guys?" he asked me, but before I could answer, his hand was moving down my side, pulling the sheet and spread away from my hips. "Do you like a guy to fuck you?" His palm was rounding the side of my waist, kind of urging me onto to my side so he could feel my ass. The only honest to God curves on my body. It's a nice butt. I had it to thank for many hundreds of dollars worth of drugs up my nose. I was off that stuff by then and trying to behave myself. Maybe I was just plain horny. There's no excuse, really. When I felt his big hand massaging my ass, I flipped right over for him and snagged a rubber from the drawer by the bed. He fucked me and it felt it good. It was only after I'd done it that I felt bad. And feeling bad didn't stop me from letting him do it any damn morning he felt like it. After my sister would leave, he'd just come right in and get into bed with me. When her school year ended, he got desperate and did it one morning when she just was going out to the store. He was on me when she came back in, to get something or other she'd forgotten. God, it was horrible. So there I was. Way up town with a view of the Hudson River and not much to do but see my psychiatrist five times a week. He'd taken over figuring out the school thing for me. In the fall, public school teachers would show up from the home bound students program, to make me do classes at right there at the diningroom table. In the meantime, I tried not to piss off my sister in law. I was fresh out of siblings to go to. Karl seemed almost scared of me. Or scared of saying or doing something to upset me. I tried to show him I wasn't such a big mess, but it wasn't easy for us. I figured the best way I could make it okay for him was by not upsetting Helen, who was a lot less easy going than he was. Stuff like keeping my room clean, going to the store for her in the neighborhood during the day. Laundry. She'd say things like, you don't have to do that Brandy, but I knew it made life easier on my brother, if I did. They'd have a maid, and I'd have a home, for awhile. And I had my buddy Skyler. His mom, Charlotte, was okay. She was divorced from his dad already. Different dad, it turned out, from his brother, the jock, who headed off to college in the fall. Skyler was pretty impressed with himself when he turned eight in October. Mr. Big Third Grader. His mom actually asked me to keep an eye on him for a couple of hours in the afternoons, between him being done with school and her getting home from work. Lord have mercy. She gave me some dumb amount of money to do it. Not enough to be worth it if I hadn't wanted to do it, and totally bogus since he was like my best friend at the moment, though there was a guy I was fucking around with by then. Ben. A momma's boy who was living at home and going to college in the city. I saw him in the elevator sometimes. Caught him giving me looks. He was nineteen, a dark haired boy, not bad looking. I liked his round wire rimmed glasses. One day he saw me on the street, carrying a couple of arm loads of groceries toward home, and pulled his car up to the curb, offering me a ride. So much for building up my arm muscles. He started taking me to the grocery store a couple times a week. And then we'd go to his place and fuck our brains out. I don't think he'd been with many guys before me, just got himself steamed up, wanting to. He had a girlfriend and his folks thought he was straight. He didn't really want me around when they were home. Kind of put a cramp in being friends. Bastard. But the fresh bright face of Skyler was the one I most looked forward to seeing. It was autumn and the big trees over the playground were changing color. We didn't head out there much. Mostly he'd come to the apartment and I'd give him some small snack thing and he'd be good and whip out his homework. I may have been a mess academically, but there were still a few things I knew of use to a kid in third grade. How does that old story start, it was a dark and stormy night? Well it was dark and stormy, and it looked like night, the afternoon of Skyler's birthday. Like some kind of mother hen, I was looking out the window, worrying about him getting home from school in that mess. It wasn't a real long walk, and he tended to get rides with friends' moms in bad weather. Still, I wished I could drive and had a car to go pick him up. One time, in September, during a bad rain storm, I'd freaked and headed toward his school with an umbrella. I'd gotten all the way there, found the place deserted, gone home and found him sitting in the lobby of the building safe and dry, delivered by somebody's mom. Waiting for me. He told me to never do that again, but man, was I ever tempted on his birthday. Just when my nerves were about to flake completely, he got there. Damp around the edges, but okay. He'd been driven home by one of the brown-haired devil boys' mothers. There were a lot of kids living in that pair of buildings and Skyler knew them all, not just those bad boys he'd played with in the summer. Okay, they weren't so bad. Forgiveness all around had been granted. I just wasn't crazy about them. Skyler was full of himself for his birthday. He'd gotten a ton of stuff at his party. They'd had it that weekend already. I think I bought him something like a watch, maybe, with my ill gotten gains from taking care of him and gave it to him with a piece of something or other I called birthday cake. But he knew what he wanted from me, and let me know pretty quick. Even as he was snapping the watch around his wrist he had that look on his face, the one he gets when he's working up to something, with that bottom lip out. Before he looked up, he was starting to smile. God, what a face, like the sun coming out. "So, you're not even two times me any more," he announced. Mathematical genius. "I'm still you now, plus you when I met you," I countered. I could add. He frowned. "So what. I'm older now," he insisted, the point not to be lost that he had miraculously gained ground on me. I didn't point out that I'd get it back in March. He was right in a way, I'd never be more than twice his age again, ever.
