Subject: Cherry Bomb    gay-young friends

 They never found out who flushed the cherry bomb down the toilet in the
Boys Room outside the locker room.  I don't know who it was either, and I
don't much care; it was probably Prowker or one of those other stoner
assholes.  It doesn't really matter.  It's just that none of the rest of
this would have happened.  If the pipe hadn't blown out, the locker room
wouldn't have flooded, and soccer practice wouldn't have been cancelled.
But it was, and so I was driving home almost three hours earlier than
usual.

  I was surprised to see Eric's car in our driveway as I drove up.  I mean,
it wasn't like I was astonished or anything, but I couldn't think why he'd
come over when I wasn't due to be home for another couple of hours.  He was
my best friend and he often came over after school to hang out for an hour
or two.  Sometimes he'd stay for dinner (both my parents worked and we
usually ate pretty late), but more often not.  Practice wasn't cancelled
until the last minute, though, so he would have had no way of knowing that
I'd be home early. It was no big mystery, and I figured I'd know the answer
soon enough.

  Eric wasn't in the living room, the likeliest place, when I walked in.  I
knew Kevin, my 13-year-old little brother, was home (I'd passed his bike on
the way in), but I didn't see him either.  He must have let Eric in.  Eric
knew he was always welcome in our house and was free to just walk in, but
he didn't have a key, of course.  I dropped my backpack in the hall and
went in the kitchen for a drink before heading upstairs.  The two of them
must be in Kevin's room, which was surprising, but not weird. I called
their names as I walked down the hall but got no response.  The door to
Kevin's room was open, but there was nobody inside, just the normal
disaster-zone mess that a typical 13-year old's room can be.  My bedroom
door was closed, as I usually left it, and a sudden surge of irritation
grew at the thought that Kevin and Eric were snooping in my room for some
unknown reason.  Both of them had been in my room hundreds of times and I
didn't have any hidden secrets inside, but they shouldn't be in there if I
wasn't.  It turned out they weren't—my room was empty too.

   It occurred to me that they might be in the backyard by the pool.  The
pool hadn't been closed up for the winter yet, but the weather was too
chilly for it to be very likely that they were swimming. Besides, why would
they be together?  Kevin and Eric were friendly enough with each other, but
they didn't hang out together unless we were all together, going to a movie
or something.  Kevin had his own group of friends, and there was too big an
age difference for him and Eric to be particularly close.  We all got
along, but it just didn't happen, and there was no reason why it should.
Why should a high school senior hang out alone with his best friend's nerdy
little 13-year-old brother, or vice versa.  To be fair, Kevin wasn't really
a nerd; he was cute enough, I guess,and a pretty good athlete, as well as a
good student.  He was little, though, barely five feet tall and looked even
younger than thirteen.

   I looked out the window, but I could only see a corner of the pool from
there, and no activity.  I headed downstairs, but realized I'd left my
phone in the car, so instead of going right out back I made a detour out to
the driveway in front and approached the pool from the walkway alongside
the garage.  I didn't hear anything except the pool filter and was just
opening my mouth to call their names when I stopped as suddenly as if I'd
run into a stone wall, my mouth hanging open, my body frozen, my whole
being as stunned as it had ever been in my life.

   Eric and Kevin were in the backyard all right.  Kevin was on his back,
lying on a chaise, his legs splayed wide, his feet on the ground. He was
naked from the waist down, wearing only a teeshirt.  Eric was on his knees
at the foot of the chaise, fully dressed, leaning forward, and sucking
Kevin's dick as if both their lives depended on it.

  I read once that when the Spanish ships first arrived off the shores of
the Americas some of the natives on the beach were so stunned that they
just turned away, their minds unable to process the enormity of what they
were seeing, something so unexpected, so far outside their experience.
That's the way I felt: my mind just couldn't absorb what I was seeing.  I
was paralyzed.  When I could move again (it was really only a few seconds)
I quickly turned away and went back around the corner of the garage, out of
sight.  I stopped, leaning on my car, dazed, trying to make my brain work
again, unable to think what to do next.  I briefly considered storming back
to the pool and screaming "What the fuck are you doing?"  But it was
obvious what they were doing.  My best friend was sucking my little
brother's cock.  But how could that be?  It was impossible. For one thing,
Kevin didn't have a cock!  I mean obviously Kevin had a penis; he was a
normal boy in that respect.  But he didn't have a "cock," a "sex organ,"
something that somebody would suck.  Did he?  He was just a little kid!  He
had at best a "wiener."  Okay, I could grant that he was probably past the
stage of having a "peepee," but I'd never even thought of him going so far
as having a "dick."  That was just it, though—I'd never thought of it.
I knew Kevin was thirteen but it had never registered on me that he had
entered puberty.  I hadn't seen him naked for at least a couple of years.
My family wasn't prudish but we were fairly modest; I don't think Kevin had
seen me naked for even longer.  And, being around him every day, if Kevin's
voice had changed or he'd started to get hairier I hadn't noticed.  Kevin
and I had never had any kind of conversation about anything related to sex,
not even jerking off.  We had had separate bedrooms and bathrooms since
shortly after I had started to jerk off—he'd certainly never seen me do
it.  I'd never considered that he might be doing it, though it suddenly
struck me that of course he was.  I'd never wondered what he might be doing
in his room when he had the door closed, alone or when he had friends over.
Maybe they were always playing video games.  Probably they weren't.

   But another thing: Eric wasn't a cocksucker.  I mean, you know, he
wasn't gay or anything.  He went out with girls, just like me.  Well, OK,
not just like me; he didn't seem to be quite so pussy-obsessed as I was.
But he got his share.  He wasn't quite the jock that I was, but he was a
decent athlete, well built enough, good-looking enough, I guess.A little
bit shy, maybe, but girls seemed to like him.  He didn't really have a
steady date, but he went out with girls—we double-dated sometimes.  He
sure as hell didn't go out with guys. As for sucking cock, well, let's not
go there.  I hadn't thought about that in ages.  That was a long time ago;
we were just kids.  We couldn't have been more than thirteen.  Kevin's age.
But dammit, Eric wasn't thirteen now.  He was almost five years older.  He
wouldn't be blowing some young kid.  And goddammit, how dare he be blowing
MY little brother!

   Almost without realizing it, I went into the garage—the door was
open.  There was a window in the back that looked out into the backyard,
just a few yards from the edge of the pool where Kevin and Eric had been.
They were still there.  Kevin was facing me.  I don't think he would have
seen me through the window even if he had been looking. and he wasn't.  He
had his eyes closed, a look somewhere between a smirk and a satisfied smile
on his face.  His hands were resting on the top of Eric's head, which was
still vigorously bobbing up and down between Kevin's legs.  Occasionally
Eric would pull back—coming up for air maybe-- and I could get a full
view of Kevin's dick. steel-hard and throbbing, slick with Eric's spit.  It
was bigger than I would have ever imagined—it wasn't freakishly huge,
not as big as my own, but I'm sure it was considerably bigger than mine had
been when I was thirteen.  There was a crisp patch of dark hair above it,
not extensive but filled in, not mere wisps.  Kevin's ball sack was
hairless but impressive, hanging low and loose.  I watched
transfixed...hypnotized...horrified as Eric kept up his efforts.  They'd
been at it for a while, so I wasn't surprised when Kevin suddenly seemed to
grip Eric's head more tightly and raised his butt up off the chaise a
little, his mouth opening and his expression changing to a grimace of
pleasure.  He was obviously cumming, shooting all that his
thirteen-year-old balls could produce deep into Eric's mouth.  Eric made no
move to pull away; as Kevin relaxed back down Eric remained glued to his
groin, apparently trying to ensure that he didn't miss a drop and evidently
swallowing all of Kevin's load.  Finally Eric leaned back and I could see
Kevin's dick, shrunken now—drained—nestled wet and slimy below
Kevin's newly-grown pubes.

   I awakened from my daze and was suddenly alert, wary of what was going
to happen next.  If it looked like Kevin was going to return the favor I
was going to step in to stop it.  Eric blowing Kevin was bad enough, but I
wasn't going to let him make Kevin be a cocksucker too.  When Eric and I
had...um..."played around" years ago it had always been one-sided as far as
blow jobs went; I had never reciprocated.  As Eric moved back I was
relieved to see that his pants were still fastened and he made no move to
take his cock out.  It didn't even look like he had a hard-on.  Kevin sat
up and began to reach for his shorts which were lying in a heap on the
ground next to him and I suddenly realized I needed to get away.  I was at
my own house and had every right to be there but I felt like an intruder, a
peeping-tom almost.  I couldn't face the two of the right then; I needed to
process what I'd just seen and try to figure out how I felt about it.  I
hurried into my car and put it into neutral so I could roll into the
street, not starting it until I had to;in hopes that Kevin and Eric
wouldn't hear me and realize I might have seen them.  I drove off with no
idea where to go; when I came to the mall a mile or so from our house I
pulled in and just sat in the parking lot.  For the first time I wished I
smoked cigarettes; it was the ideal situation to sit and explore my
thoughts while smoking half a pack.

   I didn't come to any solid conclusion.  I decided not to do or say
anything just then.  I finally went back home at the time I usually got
home.  Eric's car was gone and Kevin was sitting in the living room
watching TV.  I decided to just act naturally, but then suffered a moment
of panic as I couldn't think what "naturally" was. What did I usually say
to him when I walked in?  Luckily he went first with a casual "Hey, Bri,"
and I automatically responded "Hey, Kev.  What's up?"  One of his friends
had told him about the cherry bomb and he asked me what I knew about it so
we talked about that for a minute or two.  If he wondered about my soccer
practice he didn't mention it so I didn't either.  In due course I went
upstairs, our parents came home, we had dinner, life went on.  I did find
myself looking at Kevin from time to time, picturing him feeding his
big-boy cock to my best friend, thinking how he was not at all the innocent
little kid I'd thought him to be the day before.  For his part, he didn't
act toward me any differently than he ever did.  I didn't see Eric, or talk
to him, until the next day at school.  He didn't act any differently
either, and I tried my best to do the same.  What was I going to do,
anyway: say "What's the big idea, sucking Kevin's cock?"  Beat him up?  I
suppose I could have, but no, really, I couldn't.

   Nothing happened until the weekend. Our parents were going out to dinner
with some friends of theirs, which wasn't unusual, but they expected to be
so late that they wanted me to stay home with Kevin.  Usually they let him
stay alone, for a few hours at least, but Mom was in a bad mood, annoyed at
both of us for something trivial, so she insisted that I stay home all
evening.  That put me in a bad mood too, and Kevin didn't help, putting on
one of his rare displays of brattiness.  Generally Kevin and I got along
well, but I think all brothers fight sometimes.  We bickered through
dinner, and argued about doing the dishes and about who was going to watch
what on the living room TV.  It was nothing serious, but I guess it was
mostly spite that made me decide to hit him out of the blue with "So, how
long has Eric been sucking your dick?"

   I didn't know exactly how he would react.  I figured he'd be stunned:
deny it at first, get upset, plead with me not to tell Mom and Dad.  Cry
maybe.  I never would have expected him to do what he really did: Kevin
laughed.  "I thought you saw us."

   I was the one stunned.  "What?"

   He seemed genuinely amused.  "The other day by the pool.  I was pretty
sure I saw somebody start to walk back there and then turn back.  I figured
it had to be you."

   I couldn't believe how cool he was being and wanted to regain the
advantage.  I tried to make myself sound truly angry.  "You're damn right I
saw you.  And you're both going to be in more trouble than you can
imagine."

   The little shit actually laughed again.  "What are you making such a big
deal out of it for?  It's not like Eric never sucked your dick ."

   I was almost speechless.  I managed to splutter out "The hell he did!
Never!  Did he tell you that?  He's full of shit!  You're both full of
shit!"

   Kevin's maddening self-assurance wasn't shaken in the least "He didn't
tell me.  In fact he denied it up and down.  He didn't have to tell me: I
watched you.  Lots of times."

   He couldn't have!  "When?  Where was this?  You're lying."

   His smile then could only be described as triumphant.  And yet there was
no malice in it; he wasn't trying to rub my nose in the fact that he'd
scored one on me, a big one.  He was just amused, and obviously proud of
himself.  "In the basement over at our other house.  You used to go down to
the rec room after school and you wouldn't let me go.  You locked the door.
I had no idea what you were doing but I knew it was something you didn't
want me to see.  It really pissed me off so I went outside and watched you
through the window."

   I felt sick.  I was sure he was telling the truth.  We had moved to our
current house about four years earlier; Kevin and I had shared a bedroom in
the old house so I had had to find another place to practice my new
all-consuming hobby.  God knows how many quarts of cum my friends and I had
squirted in that basement and flushed down the downstairs john.  But as I
pictured it something didn't ring true.  "Wait a minute.  There were
curtains on those windows."

   Kevin's laugh was positively joyous.  "I know!  The first day I couldn't
see anything.  So the next afternoon before you got home I went down and
pushed all the curtains apart--I had to stand on a chair to do it.  I
spread them just a little bit, like an inch or maybe less.  I was sure
nobody would ever notice the gaps and I don't think they did.  You didn't.
By moving from one to another I could see practically the whole room.  If
you had looked straight at one of them you might have been able to see
something move outside but you never did.  Actually, from the window over
the dryer I could see the couch you usually sat on so I mostly just looked
in there.  The first day I watched you it was just you and Alex.  I went to
look as soon as you went downstairs and by the time I got to the window you
two already had your dicks out.  I really didn't understand what you were
doing—that was the first time I found out about jerking off.  I couldn't
believe how big your dicks were.  And I got a little bit of a glimpse of
yours and Alex's pubes.  I knew about pubes but that was the first times
I'd ever seen any.  You wadded up tissues over your dicks when you cummed,
so I didn't really find out about that.  I really didn't understand the
whole thing, but I knew it was something cool and I liked seeing your
hard-ons.  I imitated what you'd done in bed that night, but I was too
young to get much out of it.  I watched you lots of times after that and
gradually I figured out what it was all about.  My friend Randy clued me in
about jerking off—I didn't tell him that I'd seen you, but what he told
me made it all fit.  Most of the time it was just you jerking off but I saw
most of your friends too.  Mostly Eric but Alex too and Greg and Andy and I
think some others.  There was that one older guy one time—Greg's cousin
or something, wasn't it?  Jesus he had a big cock."  I could only nod
feebly.

   "Then it got to be mostly just you and Eric; I don't know why the other
guys stopped.  I mean, they still came around but they didn't jerk off with
you anymore.  Just Eric.  Then that one day you were on the couch and you
said something to Eric—I could never hear what any of you said.—and
he just got on the floor in front of you.  It must not have been the first
time, because you didn't have to convince him or anything—he just did it
right away.  I had to move to another window to see what he was doing—I
couldn't believe he had your dick in his mouth.  I vaguely knew about blow
jobs by then, but I didn't really know what they were like.  I didn't
expect to see one," he laughed," especially in my own basement.  I saw him
do it a few more times and then we moved over here and I didn't get to
watch you any more."

   Kevin stopped, as if the story was over.  I felt drained, shocked beyond
words at what Kevin had said.  I knew that every word was true, or at least
true enough.  I was mortified that he knew everything I'd been doing; once
he'd stopped bugging me to come downstairs with us, I'd never given it
another thought.  I should have wondered why he stopped asking.  I had been
so sure he had no idea what I was doing.  But even if he knew everything
that didn't answer the big question.  I mustered the words: "Even if all
that was true, how did you and Eric start...doing stuff?"

   He grinned.  He seemed to be enjoying telling me all this.  "It was this
past summer.  My friend Jason went to Hebrew camp for two
weeks—remember?—and when he came back he said that one of his
counselors there had sucked his dick.  I thought maybe Jason was lying, but
he kept insisting it was true and every time he talked about it the details
were always exactly the same, so I finally mostly believed him.  He said
the guy was like twenty or so and they did it in the boathouse three times
but the third time they almost got caught so the guy was afraid to do it
again.  Jason said it was the best thing he ever felt and was a hundred
times better than jerking off.  I was so jealous. I thought jerking off was
great, but if something was that much better I wanted to feel it.  I mean,
I knew fucking was supposed to be better than jerking off, but I didn't
know any girls that were going to let me do that; If somebody would suck
Jason's cock, I didn't see why I couldn't find somebody to suck mine.  It
would be better if it was a girl, but I didn't even know girls ever did
that, so I figured it had to be another boy.  I tried to convince Jason to
do it for me, since he knew how it was supposed to work, but he got really
mad at me.  That night when I was jerking off all I could think of was what
it would feel like if somebody was using their mouth, instead of me using
my hand."  I was staggered by how matter-of-fact, how unconcerned, Kevin
was talking about his jerking off to me.  I'd tried so hard to keep my
sexual activities secret from him (and failed utterly, I now knew), but he
was happily telling me about his as if it were the most natural thing in
the world to talk about.

   I wanted him to go on.  "So how did Eric get involved in all this?"

   "I'm trying to tell you.  I was trying to think how I could find
somebody who would suck my dick and realized right away that he was the
only person I knew who had actually done it.  But I didn't know how you'd
gotten him to do it, or why he'd done it.  Just because he sucked yours
didn't mean he'd suck mine.  Maybe he'd only done to you as a favor because
you were his best friend.  But the more I thought about it, it had seemed
like he really liked doing it.  The times I'd watched you it never looked
like you had to persuade him very hard.  As soon as you took your dick out
he would get down on his knees and start sucking. I wasn't sure though.  I
didn't know if he sucked anybody else or if he still did it; it had been a
couple years since I watched you. All I could do was try to get up my nerve
to ask him.  But it had to be some time when you weren't there, and that
was hard.  I hardly ever saw him when you weren't there.  He came to the
door once when I was home alone but he left right away when he found out
you weren't here.  Finally—this must have been like the middle of
August—he came in and I was watching a movie.  You and Greg had just
left to go play basketball, I think.  I told him you wouldn't be home for a
while and I thought he'd leave but he sat down and started watching the
movie with me.  All I could think about was getting him to blow me and
wondering how to ask him; I was really nervous about it and didn't know how
to start but finally I decided to tell him about Jason getting sucked at
camp.  Eric seemed really surprised that I told him, but he was really
interested and asked me lots of questions about what Jason had said.
Finally I said that I was jealous of Jason and wished I could find somebody
who would suck my cock too. I was hoping he'd volunteer, but he just
laughed and said 'Good luck with that.'  I kind of held my breath and said
'How about you?'

   "Eric got really funny then; it was sort of like he was mad, but sort of
like he was almost scared too.  He said 'What do you mean?  What makes you
think I'd do something like that?'  I didn't want to make him mad or be
nasty or anything so I just kind of shrugged and said I knew he'd done it
before."  Kevin laughed.  "He was exactly like you were: he denied it and
said I was lying, and wondered if you had told me that he did it.  I said
you hadn't, but that I'd watched you and him through the window. I said it
was OK, that I hadn't ever told anybody and swore that I never would.  I
just really wanted a blow job so bad and it seemed like he had liked doing
it and I was like begging him to do it.  He got real quiet and seemed
upset, but he didn't leave, which made me keep my hopes up.  I kept begging
him: I even offered to pay him twenty bucks" Kevin laughed, "He has more
money than I do.  Finally he said he couldn't, that I was too young.  I
insisted that I wasn't.  He said I probably didn't even jerk off yet; I
said I did it all the time.  He asked if I had hair around my dick.  When
he asked that I got real excited because I knew he was going to do it.
Rather than just say yes, I stood up and walked over to him.  I pulled my
shorts and my underpants down and said `Sure I do.  See?'  My dick was hard
by then and I was sticking it straight at him.  He looked shocked and just
stared at it.  All he said was `Jesus!'.

   "All the way up to my bedroom he made me keep promising I wouldn't tell
anybody, especially you.  I swore I wouldn't and I never did.  I'm only
telling you now because you saw us and already know.  Eric had me take my
shorts and shoes off and lie on the bed.  He got between my legs and spread
them apart and just dove in.  He went straight for my dick and wrapped his
mouth around it and started to suck.  It mostly just tickled, but it felt
good too.  I was so excited that It was only maybe two minutes before I
shot.  I was kind of surprised that Eric let me cum in his mouth and he
swallowed my cum; I thought that was kind of gross.  All in all I was sort
of disappointed.  It was over so soon and it felt good but it sure wasn't a
hundred times better than jerking off.  Eric could tell I was disappointed;
he said that because I was so young I'd cum too quick, that the next time
it would be better.  He asked how long it would be before I could cum again
and I said maybe fifteen minutes.  He wondered how long it would be before
you got home and I said I thought it would be a while yet, so he said we
could do it again.  We stayed on the bed and talked.  Well mostly he asked
me questions and I answered.  He wanted to know all about my jerking off:
how long I'd been doing it and how often and everything. He asked if I ever
did it with my friends and seemed real interested when i said yes.  He
asked who, and when I told him he wanted to know about their dicks, how big
they were, if they had hair, how much they could shoot.  After a little
while he started rubbing my stomach and then the inside of my thighs, and
then playing with my pubes and then my balls.  He moved back down to
between my legs and started licking all the places he'd been rubbing; he
spent a lot of time on my balls.  Before long I was hard again and he
licked my dick and like nibbled on it and then ran his tongue around the
head.  Eventually he put the whole thing in his mouth and blew me again,
but slower than he had the first time.  It was just fantastic.  If that's
what Jason's guy had done I could see why he liked it so much.  Finally I
shot again in Eric's mouth and that was it.  I went in the bathroom and got
cleaned up and put my clothes back on.  We went back downstairs, Eric all
the time begging me not to tell and promising we could do it again as much
as I wanted, so long as nobody found out.  Shit, why would I tell and screw
up that kind of deal?

   "We were back watching TV probably a half an hour before you came home.
You didn't suspect a thing, naturally.  You changed your clothes and you
and Eric went somewhere and then I guess he went home.  That night when I
jerked off all I could think about was how we could arrange to do it again.
It wasn't easy; like I said it was hard to be alone with Eric without you
being there too.  I thought it would be too weird to call him up.  I guess
it was a week or so later: I'd ridden my bike down to the 7-11 and he drove
up.  We both knew what we wanted, so I got in his car and we went and
parked down in the school lot.  I took my dick out right away and he
started playing with it while he drove.  When we got there he just leaned
over and blew me.  It probably was barely ten minutes before we were back
at the 7-11.  We made arrangements to meet up again and we did it twice
more before school started.  Once school started and you started soccer
practice it was a lot easier.  He'd come over after school and we'd do it,
sometimes twice.  Then either he'd go home or wait around to hang out with
you.  He didn't come every day, but usually at least two or three times a
week.  Usually we did it in my room, but sometimes here in the living
room."  Kevin gave me a broad grin. "Once I'd left my math book out by the
pool and we wound up doing it there, and, wouldn't you know, some asshole
saw us."

   I ignored the good-natured insult.  I'd listened to his account stunned,
numb, unable to believe it, though I was sure it was true.  Unbelievable as
it was, it was even more incomprehensible that Kevin could so calmly reel
of this tale to me, his older brother for God's sake, as blithely as if he
was telling me about his little league game.  What kind of monster was my
goofy little brother?  You think you know somebody...  One thing I had to
know, though.  "Eric just blew you, then?  He didn't try to do anything
else or make you do something to him?"

   "No."  For the first time Kevin looked a little bit sheepish.  "Well,
one time I did ask him to show me his cock.  I'd seen it back when you were
jerking off in the basement, but not since then.  And I'd never seen any
older guy's cock and I was just, I don't know, curious.  So he showed me
and then when I was looking at it he started to get hard, and just for the
hell of it I asked him to let me watch him jerk off so he did.  That was
the only time, though."

   That seemed to be pretty much the end of the story.  I said to Kevin "Im
going to tell Eric to stay the fuck away from you.  He's lucky I don't kick
his ass."

   To my surprise Kevin looked shocked.  "What the fuck are you talking
about?  Why should we stop?  How's it bother you?  He likes it and I sure
like it and it's really none of your business.  He'd blow you too if you
wanted him to.  He told me he only stopped because you'd rather fuck girls
instead.  Well so would I but I don't know any who'll let me. Hopefully by
the time Eric goes off to college next year I'll have a girlfriend and fuck
her.  But until then I sure as hell don't see why we should stop. If you
hadn't come home early that day you never would have even known about it.
Why'd you come home early anyway?"

   I didn't know how to respond.  The whole situation was sick, but in a
way Kevin was right.  It wasn't any of my business.  I mean, Kevin was my
little brother and I should try to protect him, but what would I be
protecting him from?  The way he told his story it seemed like Eric was the
one I should have been protecting.  I guess the best thing I could do was
just forget the whole thing.  Let them have their fun.  If only soccer
practice hadn't been cancelled that day things would have been so much
simpler!  That was really the only real lesson I could draw from all this:
Be careful where you throw your cherry bombs, boys and girls.  You never
know what problems you might be causing.
