Chapter 50 - Gary's Suggestion. 



The next couple of weeks went smoothly and the acting program was progressing well, without any problems.  During that time I got a chance to know Patty better and I was able to conduct a few more classes, along with doing some role playing with the kids. 

Every weekday afternoon the boys would come over to the house to eat lunch with me, and then we'd mess around before going back to the park.  In addition to doing those things, Hunter would stay over both Friday and Saturday nights, and then we'd go to the Y together the next day.  Shortly after we got back from swimming, the other boys would show up at the house again so they could have sex with each other, and me. 

During this time I also decided which play we were going to perform first, and the cast was comprised of three girls and seven boys.  This meant I'd be able to use my group to fill the male roles, unless they'd rather be in one of the other two plays I had in mind.  We even spent one lunch hour talking about this rather than having sex, which had been the boys' suggestion. 

"I want to do this play," Tucker stated first. 

"Yeah, me too," Nolan agreed.  "From what you've told us, the other two plays will have big casts, so we'll probably be able to be in one of those plays too, except we won't get the best roles if we have them in this play." 

The rest of the boys agreed they wanted to do this play as well, which was fine with me.  After talking it over, we decided to perform it for the kids on July 3rd at 2:00, and for the parents on July 4th at 7:00, right before the big fireworks display that would be held at the park as well.  I'd already cleared this with Owen, and he thought it was an excellent idea, so I asked those wishing to be in the play to check with their parents and make sure they weren't going away on either of those days.  

The play we're going to do is called 'The Boy Who Cried Werewolf', as opposed to the Aesop fable, 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'.  I thought it looked cute and felt the kids would like it, so I asked for the mobile stage to be set up daily for the next two weeks, as well as the first two days of the following week, when we'd be putting it on.  This way we could rehearse on the stage and the kids could get used to being up there and projecting their voices so the audience could hear what they were saying.  I'd have others sitting out on the grass during the rehearsals to let me know how the actors were doing, so we could make any necessary adjustments. 

Before I'd returned to the park the previous Friday, I hopped in the car and drove over to the rec department office so I could drop off the original script.  I asked the secretary if she would have someone run off fifteen copies, and she said she'd make sure it was done and then she'd have someone drop everything off at the park.  One of the employees from the maintenance department did that this morning, so now we were ready to start rehearsing. 

When I handed out the scripts to those I'd selected for the various roles, I had them get up on stage and read their parts.  I also asked them to follow the directions in the script that guided their movements and other actions, such as moving from place to place or showing emotion.  This allowed them to get used to doing those things as well, and when we finished the rehearsal I had the kids spend the rest of the time memorizing their lines. 

The play was One Act with five scenes and we'd be using very simple sets, so I ask for volunteers to help make the various set pieces and some of the props.  Before we started, however, I had the volunteers take one of the tables and a half dozen chairs from the building and carry them out to the mobile stage.  The table would be used in four of the five scenes, while the chairs would be used in varying numbers in every scene, along with other props that would help to differentiate the various settings. 

The first scene was set in a classroom, the next in the principal's office, the third in one of the character's dining room, the fourth in another character's living room, and the final scene took place at the police station.  None of the sets would be very difficult to create, and we'd make most of the items using the materials from the arts & crafts supplies.  I'd merely have to scrounge up a few additional items, but nothing too elaborate. 

One afternoon while the boys were eating lunch with me, Gary made a suggestion, but it wasn't exactly about the play.  "Our parents know you're working at the park this summer, and we've told them we're gonna be doing this play with you, so what do you think about lettin' us spend the weekend here before the performances?" 

"How in the world do you plan on convincing your parents to let you do that?" I challenged, seeing all kinds of problems arising. 

"We'll tell them we're just gonna camp out," he replied, thinking it adequately answered my question.

"Camp out where?" 

"At the park." 

"You can't!  It's not permitted.  The park is closed from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., and no one is supposed to be in the park during those times." 

"We'll say that we wanted to camp at the park but you told us it wasn't allowed," Will interjected.  "And then we'll tell them that you said we could camp out in your backyard instead, cuz it so isolated." 

"Yeah, and my dad knows about this place so he can explain it to the other parents too," Gary agreed.  "And we'll tell them that you agreed to let us use the bathroom if we needed to take a dump or somethin'." 

"And that you'd be here if somethin' goes wrong or someone gets sick or hurt," Nolan added. 

"What about your meals?" I challenged, seeing a weakness in their plan.  "Usually when you camp out you have to bring your own food and fix your meals." 

"What if we tell our parents that you'll let us keep the food in the house and you'll help us fix it when it's time to eat?" Braedon asked. 

"I suppose that might work, but I wonder how your parents will react when you tell them this?" I mused. 

"Yeah, they'll think we're takin' advantage of Mr. Roberson," Tucker chimed in. 

"What if we have our parents call and ask him if it's a problem?" Jon offered. 

"It might work, but we shouldn't have all of them call," Nolan replied.  "I'm sure Gary's dad or my dad would do that, and then they can tell your parents about the call." 

"Yeah, and they could tell them that Mr. Roberson said it was ok," Gary concurred. 

Seeing they seemed to be working out the details, I left them alone.  I merely agreed to talk to their dads and answer any questions, since I didn't want to rain on their parade.  If their parents had a problem with what they wanted to do, I'd let them tell their sons so the blame would fall on them, not me.  Once the boys had everything worked out, Gary and Nolan said they'd talk to their dads after dinner that evening and present the idea to them, so I agreed I'd keep my phone handy in case they called. 

I didn't receive a phone call that night, and from what the boys told me the next day, their parents spent the evening calling and chatting with each other about the idea.  From what the boys said, there were a lot of phone calls as their parents discussed their plans and asked questions, so I felt I might be getting a call tonight instead. 

Sure enough, shortly after I finished eating dinner my phone rang.  "Marshall, Gary told me that you've agreed to let the boys camp out behind your house.  Is this true?" his father asked directly. 

"Yes, I offered to let them do it after I explained they wouldn't be able to camp out at the park." 

"And you've also agreed to cook their meals?" 

"Not exactly, but I offered to help out.  I'll tell them what to do and supervise the activity so there aren't  any problems and things don't get messed up too badly.  I also informed them that they'd have to do the work and then clean up afterward." 

"I'm glad to hear that, because now I don't feel so bad about possibly letting them do this.  I thought the boys were taking advantage of you and sticking you with all the work, but now I know better.  My only question is, do you really want to be tied up like this and responsible for the boys?" 

"I don't mind and I don't have any other plans for that weekend, since I have to be around for the play.  It's also my way of repaying them for the help they've been giving me while I'm running the acting program at the park this summer." 

"Ok, that makes more sense."  Once those things had been cleared up, we talked about a few minor details, and then he made one additional comment before hanging up.  "I'll explain this to the other parents, because we've been in constant contact and talking about this since the boys first brought it up." 

I thanked him and offered my assurance that I had no problem doing this for the boys, and then he thanked me before ending the call.  Now, I just had to wait and see if each of the boys' parents would go along with the idea.  I knew at least one of them wouldn't have a problem with it, and that was Hunter's mom, because he had been staying with me those days anyway.  He'd merely have to tell his mom that he wouldn't be home for dinner those nights, and that would be the only difference. 

We also continued rehearsing the play during this time and the three girls were doing quite well for it being their first time on stage.  I was beginning to feel fairly confident about the group doing a good job, and things were progressing very nicely.  I was glad I had the boys to rely on as my foundation for this play, because they were setting a very good example for the others.  They were all business whenever we were practicing and the others saw that this was serious business, so I was convinced the rest of the actors would follow the boys' example when it was their turn to carry the load. 

I also spent some time talking to the kids about what they should wear in the play.  Since it was taking place in a modern setting, I agreed they could use the same types of clothes they'd been wearing to the park every day.  The only exception would be for the kids playing the adult roles, because they should wear something an adult would be more likely to wear in those circumstances.  All in all, though, it shouldn't be very difficult for them to find something appropriate. 

Every day the kids did a little better than the day before, as we moved closer to the time they'd be putting on the play in front of an audience.  The other counselors had rotated again and Tom had taken over the day shift the week before we were scheduled to perform the play, but that really didn't have an effect on what we were doing.  I just took some time out during the day so I could get to know him as well, and it was basically the same thing I'd done with Paul and Patty. 

I was feeling really good about the play as the weekend approached, and that Friday the boys were super excited as well.  They even opted to forgo having sex during the lunch hour so they could tell me what to expect before their 'camping trip' started later in the day. 

"We're all gonna leave the park early this afternoon, so we can go home and get ready," Nolan explained.  "Our dads will be driving us here after they get home from work, because there's just too much stuff to carry on our bikes.  They'll leave just as soon as they drop off everything, and then we'll be able to have some fun." 

"They've agreed to pick us up here on Monday after they get out of work, cuz there'll be too much stuff for us to carry back, like the tents and sleeping bags," Jon added. 

"And we won't have our bikes, cuz they're bringing us here later," Braedon pointed out. 

"So you're planning on staying Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday nights?"

"Yeah, so we'll have lots of time to have sex," Will offered with a grin. 

"This is gonna be great!" Tucker enthused. 

We spent quite a few minutes talking about a wide variety of topics, including where they should set up the tents, even though they weren't planning on sleeping in them.  They figured they should put them up, though, just in case their dads checked before they left, or one of their parents dropped by for some unexplained reason later.  The boys had already told me that they planned on sleeping in the house with me, so I guess we'll see what actually happens. 

"I was surprised my dad agreed to let me do this," Braedon stated later in the discussion, "but he thinks camping is something REAL guys like to do, so it's ok."  

"He prolly thinks gays don't like to get dirty or want to mess up their looks," Jon joked. 

"You might be right about that," I confirmed.  "Most guys who dislike gays think they're all effeminate and act like beauty queens, so they wouldn't think a gay guy would want to go camping."

"I'm glad, cuz it made it so I could do this," Braedon concurred. 

"We're gonna miss goin' swimmin' though," Jon pointed out. 

"No, we won't.  Bring your swimsuits with you and we'll walk over to Memorial Pool to see what it's like." 

"Yeah, we can do that, but it will probably be really crowded," Gary groused. 

"But it should help us cool off," I offered.  

"Do they have a locker room there or will we change here?" Braedon wanted to know, since he'd never been there.

"We'd better change here," Nolan answered.  "They have a really small changin' room, 'bout the size of a walk-in closet, and it only has one short bench.  They give you a metal basket to put your clothes in, and it has an elastic band with a metal tag on it that you take off and wear on your wrist or ankle to prove which basket is yours when you're ready to leave.  They keep the baskets behind the counter, and somebody is always there so no one can steal your shit." 

"There are so many of us that it will be really crowded if we're all in there at the same time.  If it's just us in the changin' room then we prolly won't get to see anyone else naked, so we might just as well change here," Tucker suggested, and the other boys agreed. 

"This is still gonna be great!" Will enthused as the lunch hour came to an end and we began to head back to the park.  "I can't wait until we get back here later."

The boys took their backpacks with them when we returned to the park, because they wanted to use them to put their other clothes in when they returned.  Neither the boys nor I had anything planned for the rest of the day, so we just walked around and chatted with some of the other kids.  We also challenged them to play pool and ping pong, and sometimes they challenged us instead.  When the other boys eventually took off for home later, Hunter pulled me aside. 

"I know none of their parents talked to my mom about any of this, so am I still gonna be able to do it too?" 

"Of course.  There's no reason why you can't." 

"What about the food?  They said their parents were all chipping in to buy stuff, but they didn't talk to my mom, so what will I eat?"  

"I'll talk to the other parents when they drop everything off and ask what your share would be.  I'll tell them your mother wanted to know and she gave me some money to cover the cost for you, and if that doesn't work, you can eat my food instead." 

"Thanks, Dad.  I was worried about how that was gonna work out.  I'll see you later at your house then, cuz I'm gonna go home now so I can pack up what I'll need." 

"Ok, I'll see you later, and just be careful riding back and forth."

"Yeah, I will."  

I waited until Paul and Patty came back from their meal break, and then Tom and I told them to have a nice weekend before we left.  I pedaled home alone for the first time in ages, but I decided to wait to eat, because I wasn't sure if the other boys were planning on having dinner before they returned.  I knew Hunter wouldn't, so I'd at least have him to eat with, but I had no idea what the other boys had in mind.  I'd just wait and see what they said when they got here. 

Hunter arrived first, as I knew he would, and then we waited for the rest of the boys to show up.  We didn't have to wait too long before a small caravan of cars pulled down the driveway.  I recognized Nolan's family's new SUV from seeing it at the Y, and then I recognized Gary and Jon's dads behind the wheel of the other two vehicles.  There were a couple of boys in each car, but the vehicles were apparently carrying the other supplies as well. 

As soon as the three vehicles came to a stop and the men turned off the engines, they got out to chat with me.  "You're a very brave man for doing this," Jon's father quipped. 

"There's another option too, but we won't mention it," Nolan's dad added with a laugh.  I knew he was referring to being a fool. 

"We appreciate that you're willing to do this for our sons, and they're very excited about camping out." 

"I'm sure they are," I agreed.  "I can actually imagine how they're feeling, because it wasn't that many years ago when I was doing something like this with my friends." 

"Yes, we sometimes forget that you're somewhere between our ages and those of our sons," Gary's father agreed. 

"I think he's probably closer to their ages than ours," Jon's father suggested.  "I think that's one of the reasons the boys like him so much."

We chatted for a few more minutes about things in general, and then they got down to specifics as the boys were unloading all three cars.  "In addition to their clothes, sleeping bags, and the tents, we have a few other supplies that we'll help you take inside," Nolan's father explained. 

"We'll carry in the large cooler for you, because most of the food is in it, and then you two can carry in the other cooler.  I think you'll find most of the things you'll need while the boys are here," Gary's father confirmed.  

"We've also brought boxes containing a selection of the boys favorite drinks and snacks, so I hope you have room in your fridge for at least some of those items," Jon's father stated next. 

"I do, and we can put some of them in there now, and then I'll put more in there later, after we've taken those out," I agreed.

"And our wives fixed the food for tonight's meal, and it's all in this insulated food carrier," Gary's dad explained.  "There's a huge ham in a baking pan that my wife cooked and sliced up already, and there's a large casserole dish of macaroni and cheese that Nolan's mother made.  They're both wrapped in aluminum foil, so you can just put them in the oven and warm them up when you're ready to eat.  There are also two boxes with a dozen donuts in each for dessert.  I think that should fill you and the boys up tonight.

"Here's a little extra money for you to use too, in case you find that we've forgotten something or you run out of an item and need to buy more," he continued as he handed me a fistful of bills.  "We know how much these boys eat, so you may need this later." 

"Yes, I suppose you might be right about that," I agreed.

"But other than that, we're heading home and you're on your own until Monday night."   He laughed after saying this.  "We'll pick the boys up here after we get off of work that evening." 

"Ok, I'll make sure they're packed up and ready to go by then.  By the way, Hunter's mom asked me to find out how much you want for his share of the food.  She gave me some money to give to you." 

"Look, we agreed that we weren't going to charge her for this, and there's more than enough food so you and Hunter can eat with the boys.  We realized his mother doesn't have it very easy, so each of us offered to chip in a little extra to cover his and your share."

"It's very nice of you to cover for Hunter, but you don't have to do it for me too." 

"Oh, we disagree," Jon's dad responded.  "We felt it was the least we could do, seeing you're assuming responsibility and doing this for our sons." 

"And we might even have to purchase a medal or a trophy for you when it's over, provided you survive the weekend with them," Nolan's dad added.  The other two fathers merely nodded and laughed after he said this. 

"They're all really good kids and I enjoy being around them," I replied.  "Besides, they've done as much to help me as I've done for them, so I feel this is just a trade-off." 

"Maybe so, but it helps us out too, and it's more than worth what we chipped in to cover your food as well," Gary's dad confessed. 

"Well, I appreciate it and promise to take good care of the boys.  I'm not sure if I'll sleep in the tents with them, but I'll keep an eye on things and leave the sun room door unlocked so they can come inside at any time." 

The fathers finished bringing the rest of food and drinks inside while the boys carried the tents, sleeping bags, and their gear out back.  Once they had everything they needed, they got busy setting up the tents.  They were still doing this when their dads went back to see if they needed any help, and since they didn't, their fathers said goodbye and told the boys to behave. 

After I watched the men turn their vehicles around in front of the garage and they'd driven off, leaving their sons with me, I went inside and put the macaroni and cheese and ham in the oven on 'warm'.  While I was putting the rest of the food and drinks in the fridge, the boys came inside to tell me they were done.

"The tents are up, but now we're gonna bring our clothes and the sleeping bags in here," Gary stated. 

"The sectional is big enough for three of us to sleep on," Will added. 

"And one more can sleep on your old sofa, and I'll sleep in the recliner," Nolan followed. 

"And two of us will sleep with you," Tucker added.  "Since me and Jon are the smallest, the other guys said we could be with you tonight." 

"But Tucker said he'd let me take his place tomorrow night, cuz we're about the same size," Braedon chimed in. 

I could see that Hunter was looking slightly disappointed, but he wasn't about to complain.  He knew he'd be sleeping with me again the following weekend and he'd survive until then. 

"Well, it looks as if you boys have everything figured out," I mused with a smile. 

"Even the sex," Gary interjected.  "We'll do that before we go to bed, cuz it's my turn to be with you." 

"Ok, but let's eat first.  You guys know where I keep the dishes, glasses, and silverware, so get what you'll need and I'll set the food on the counter so you can help yourself.  Once you have what you want, take it into the dining room and sit down at the table to eat." 

"But there's only six chairs, and there's eight of us," Jon announced. 

"There's a chair in the office and another one in my bedroom that we can use, so we'll just bring them into the dining room for now." 

"I'll get the one from the bedroom," Hunter offered. 

"And I'll get the one from the office," Braedon chimed in. 

Since that was taken care of, the other boys began filling their plates and taking them into the dining room.  Once the other two returned with the chairs and everyone had filled his plate and grabbed a drink, we all sat down at the dining room table to eat.

"This is really good," Hunter stated after taking a couple of bites. 

"Yeah, Nolan's mom and my mom are good cooks," Gary confirmed. 

As soon as they ate everything on their plates, the boys went back for seconds, because the mothers had made plenty.  And then when they were done, they had a donut or two to top off the meal.  When they finished, I had them rinse off their plates, silverware, and glasses and load them into the dishwasher, while I cleaned off the dishes the food came in.  Once the dishwasher was loaded, I added the detergent and started it, because we'd need those things again tomorrow. 

Once all of that had been taken care of, we decided to take it easy for a while so our meals would have time to digest.  We went into the living room, turned on TV, and found a James Bond movie to watch.  The boys then either sprawled out on the furniture, sat down on the floor, or laid on the floor as they watched the screen.  I was offered a place of honor on the sectional between Hunter and Braedon, the same two who'd offered to get the extra chairs for me. 

"Hey, I wanted to sit next to Mr. Roberson," Jon whined. 

"You snooze, you lose," Hunter stated as Jon's face broke into a pout. 

"You were too slow, but you're gonna be sleepin' with him later," Braedon added. 

"I know, but I wanted to sit with him too," Jon whined.

"Jon, come here for a second," I said. 

This caused him to look up and walk toward me, and as soon as he was close enough, I reached out, spun him around, and pulled him onto my lap, with his back against my chest. 

"Yeah, this is much better," he sighed as he got comfortable. 

Before anyone else could say anything, I spoke first.  "Ok, let's all be quiet now so we can watch the movie." 

During the commercials, the boys took turns running to the toilet, usually going in pairs and peeing at the same time, while others got up to get a drink.  I could see that having only one bathroom might eventually become a problem, but we'd manage, one way or another. 

When the movie ended, I watched the boys stretching the kinks out their bodies as they were getting up, so I asked a question.  "What do you want to do next?" 

"Have sex," they answered almost in unison. 

"Ok, that sounds good to me too," I agreed. 

They were already removing their shirts and unsnapping and unzipping their shorts as we made our way to the bedroom, so they were all naked by the time I grabbed the towels and joined them.  Gary had also pulled the mat out from under the bed and was standing beside it waiting for me. 

"So how do you want to do this?" I asked. 

"Uh, like you did it with Will and Nolan.  I know I probably won't cum that way, but I still want to try it."

"Ok, then you know what to do first." 

He nodded and got down on the mat as he waited for me to get undressed.  Once I was naked, he pulled his legs back so I could rim him, and after doing that for a couple of minutes, I prepared both of us and slid my penis into him.  As soon as I was all the way in, he wrapped his arms and legs around my body so I could pick him up.  Gary was bigger and heavier than the others I'd done this with, so I was struggling a bit when getting to my feet, which caused Gary to gently rib me. 

"Dang.  I thought you were still young and strong," he teased when it took more than a little effort to lift him and get to my knees.  "Come on, old man, suck it up and let's get started," he urged as I staggered slightly as I stood up. 

Once I was on my feet, however, I got even for his wisecracks by smacking one butt cheek with my hand and then the other, while also working his hole mercilessly.  I thought he might complain that I was being too rough as I raised and lowered him on my erection and pounded his backside, but he seemed to be enjoying it. 

"That's it.  Work me hard and make me cum," he prodded, but his wish went unfulfilled. 

When I finally filled the condom with my semen, Gary hadn't orgasmed, but he seemed undeterred.  "I didn't think I'd cum this way, but now it's my turn to fuck you, and I'm gonna do it just a rough as you did it to me," he warned. 

I made sure he prepared me first, and then I got on my back, pulled my knees to my chest, and he rammed his penis into me in one fell swoop.  He started out like a man with a jackhammer trying to break up a concrete sidewalk, meaning he was pounding my butt hard and fast.  I was ok with it, since I'd had partners who had done this to me before, and Gary wasn't quite as big as they were, so I was actually enjoying the ride.  Since he was being so aggressive, though, it didn't take him very long to go over the edge and fill the condom with his seed, but his orgasm felt more powerful than normal. 

Gary was grunting and panting as he was unloading his nuts, which made him sound like a man who'd just run a long race.  As soon as he was completely drained he collapsed on my chest, so I reached up, grabbed his face, and kissed him. 

"I hope it was as good for you as it was for me," I whispered in his ear after I broke the kiss. 

"Yeah, both times.  That was the best yet, even if I didn't cum while you were fuckin' me." 

Gary and I had both worked up a sweat during our coupling, so I suggested we take a shower.  He was happy with that idea too, so we went to the bathroom and hopped in the shower.  Once we'd finished and had gotten out to dry off, the next pair entered behind us, and that continued until all of the boys had cleaned up. 

"What do you guys want to do now?" I asked. 

"I'm beat," Nolan answered. 

"Yeah, me too," Will agreed. 

"Let's just go to sleep and then we can get up early tomorrow and have the whole day to do stuff," Gary suggested. 

The other boys agreed and spread their sleeping bags out where they were going to sleep, and they used the backpacks with their clothes inside as a pillow.  After we stopped for a quick drink, Jon and Tucker went with me to the bedroom, and then they cuddled against me as soon as we got in bed.  They were still naked as the day they were born, and I spent the night with their arms and legs draped over my body and their heads resting on my chest, which helped me to sleep very peacefully all night long.

Although the boys in these stories sometimes have unprotected sex, I strongly urge all of you out there to be smart and protect yourselves from various sexually transmitted diseases by using taking appropriate precautions before engaging in sex.
