No alarms, no pranks, no shouts from early-risers to waken the sleeping boys. That meant Kyle was able to rouse peacefully from his slumber, feeling the body beside him before he was even awake enough to really think of anything at all. He wasn't used to sharing a bed quite yet. The boy beside him was a veritable expert on the subject, known throughout his dorm for his dislike of sleeping alone. Although this was the third time he had shared a bunk with Chris, it was the first time they had been able to awaken together properly. The first morning, they had been woken and forced out of bed at once by others in the dorm keen to get to breakfast while the second had been started with a scare thanks to Eric and Benji's prank on Casey. As Kyle slowly blinked his eyes open, he found himself staring into a peacefully sleeping face. When he was awake, Chris' green eyes were bewitching, his smile simply contagious and his charm so utterly irresistible that Kyle had been hooked since the first time he saw it. Asleep though, Chris' beauty shone through in other ways, the angelic innocence of his expression, the gentle mew on each outward breath almost like a purr of sheer contentment. The road to get them to that point had not been a smooth one. They had actively avoided each other after their first meeting, thanks to an ill-planned casual kiss on the cheek, but they still ended up in each other's orbit, mostly thanks to mutual friendship with another boy – Danny. Danny had been the friend Kyle had needed, helping him through his tumultuous first months at the school and it was only through him that the kiss-induced awkwardness with Chris was able to pass. With that out of the way, the two boys had been able to truly connect. Despite the truly beauteous youth lying beside him, it was Danny that Kyle's mind lingered on. Danny and Chris were close, as close as any two boys Kyle had ever seen, seeming to share a connection that almost defied explanation. He and Chris had agreed to hold off on their budding relationship until Chris had been able to speak to Danny, but their agreement had quickly failed as the two boys gave in to their urges and had spent every available moment since then joined at the lips. But still, what about Danny? Their mutual friend would be back in just a few days. What would he make of their potential (or actual) relationship? Would he be jealous? Would he be happy for them? Would he demand Chris for himself? If he did, would Chris do it? Could Kyle be cast aside so casually? He lay there playing every scenario in his head, each one gradually taking a more sinister, more depressing, more anxious turn than the last. Kyle felt... strange. He had been anxious before; most of the time it seemed to be his default setting, but this was an entirely new level. To him it simply felt like the walls were closing in, that a weight was pressing on his chest, while a vacuum of sheer misery sucked the very air from his lungs. And then... emerald-green beauty. The world stopped closing in on him, the weight lifted from his chest and the air rushed back into his lungs as Chris awoke, his eyes opening. A serene smile spread across his face. "Hi!" Chris whispered, still slightly out of it, but clearly delighted to see Kyle's face looking back at him. "I really like waking up next to you," Kyle said, slightly breathless from the unpleasant episode he had experienced moments earlier. The sheer joy of seeing Chris was too great not to express. Chris let out a sweet, happy little sigh and nodded gently. "I like waking up next to you too!" His brow furrowed just a little as he raised a hand and let the back of his finger stroke Kyle's jaw. "You okay?" he asked, noticing the reddened cheeks and short breaths. Kyle felt his eyes close for just a second at Chris' touch, humming an almost inaudible moan as he raised his own hand to grasp the fingers on his face. "I am now," he said, pulling Chris' hand up and kissing it delicately. On the other side of the room, the dorm's other couple was just waking too. After their sudden and unexpected reunion, Eric and Benji had spent most of the previous night seemingly trying to catch up on every orgasm they had missed in the time they had been separated. Unlike Chris and Kyle, the two had not shared a bed. Aside from the fact the bunk was too small for two slightly older boys to comfortably share, both Eric and Benji were, by their own admission, not cuddly sleepers. They had tried it in the early days of their relationship, feeling like it was almost expected of them, but a few sleepless nights and a few very grumpy arguments later they had simply reached the conclusion that their closeness should happen only during consciousness! Benji was unsure if Eric was awake yet as he peered over the small gap between their bunks. He could hear quiet whispering from the direction of Kyle's bunk and a quick glance showed the two Year 7s adorably engrossed in each other, but there was only soft rhythmic breathing from his own lover. Though he knew waking Eric would usually result in a very cranky morning, he hoped their recent reunification might allow him to get away with it this once. He reached over the gap and started to climb across. Benji was halfway over when the rocking of the bunk shook Eric awake. While he awoke with a frown, as he let his eyes open just a little and saw Benji coming to join him, it was replaced by a bemused smile. He lifted the covers and let the other teen scramble in, half on top of him, half at his side. "You can't be horny again already," Eric grumbled. "You really emptied the tank last night; I'm running on empty!" "Nah, just wanted to... be near you," Benji said, blushing a little. After being apart for so long and being at each other's throats for most of that time, some habits had been easy to slip back into while others still felt a bizarre mix of old and new at the same time. "Well that's fine by me!" Eric said happily, kissing his boyfriend on the forehead as he held him tightly. "Hmmm," Benji hummed inquisitively. "Whassup?" Eric asked, then let out a yawn. Benji raised his head a little and nodded to the opposite side of the room. "Anything seem strange to you?" Eric glanced over at the two top bunks, belonging to Bran and Casey. "Huh!" Eric said, nodding his understanding of Benji's point. "Definitely weird!" What seemed unusual was that Bran, who was often last up in the dorm, was conspicuously absent, while Casey, usually first up and out of the dorm, was still seemingly fast asleep, covers pulled up over his head. "Should we... investigate?" Benji asked with a sly grin. The two were known to be exceptionally mischievous together, even when they weren't a couple, and the question was a subtle code between the two that there could be mischief afoot. "Well we could," Eric said with a gentle nod, "Orrrrrr... we could make out, like, a lot!" Benji took a sharp, hissed intake of breath through gritted teeth as he nodded, feigning thoughtfulness. "Yeah, that's definitely a tough decision," he said seriously, then grinned and added, "But I think I choose... option 2 please!" Eric sighed and shrugged. "Well if you insist!" He leaned down and nudged Benji's face with his nose, making him tilt it up a little so the two could kiss. Meanwhile, down the hallway the missing dorm 1.04 occupant was just beginning to stir too. Bran and Owen had never actually made it as far as the bed the previous night, at least not the second time. After reaching the decision to see each other only for the duration of half term, they had gone to the bedroom for Bran to fuck Owen. Though Bran had returned to the dorm to officially 'go to bed', he had snuck out not long after lights out to return to the teacher's apartment. While there had been a little more sexual activity, the two jerking each other off together on the sofa, they had mostly spent the rest of the night cuddling and talking to each other. They had known each other for years as student and teacher, but the night had allowed them to share things that only came from a substantially closer relationship. Bran had eventually fallen asleep in the man's arms, the teacher happily holding him until he drifted off too. As morning light filled the small living area, Owen had awoken, still holding Bran, though the boy had moved in his sleep and now lay with his head on the older man's lap. He let out a gentle sigh. He would have happily let the boy sleep, but he needed to move soon and make sure the rest of the boys were getting up. He knew they should have gotten up earlier, that Bran should have snuck back into the dorm to avoid arousing suspicion, but it was far too late for that now. "Bran," he whispered, running his fingers through the teen's golden brown curls. The boy stirred a little but remained asleep. "Brandon," he said a little louder, letting his finger's slide down to tickle the boy's ear. The slight giggle it drew from him made it clear he was very much awake. "If I don't wake up, does that mean we can stay here all day?" Bran asked dreamily, eyes still closed. "That sounds fun, but afraid I've got stuff to do. Besides, you've GOT to have built up an appetite from last night? I know I have!" Owen said with a chuckle. Bran's eyes shot open. "Yussss. Foooood!" He sat up and swang his legs round off the sofa. "If only I'd know getting you to leave was that easy..." Owen joked, getting a narrow-eyed glare back in response. "Just joking!" he added, then reached out and grabbed Bran's hand. He held it as he stood and pulled the teen close to him. He blushed a little as he looked at him. "One last kiss before you go?" "Make it two!" Bran said, grinning before they embraced. ***** The boys descended on the dining room like a swarm of locusts, ready to devour anything edible that was unfortunate enough to cross their paths. Hearing the ruckus of the boys' arrival, Gabe emerged from the kitchen, greeting them all, albeit slightly quieter than usual. The young kitchen worker watched as the boys mostly took the seats that had become their usuals, the only differences being Benji in the seat next to Eric, while his original seat was left vacant. Gabe frowned at the empty chair and asked, "We... erm... we missing someone?". After what had happened the previous night, he knew Casey would be embarrassed, but not had expected outright avoidance. "Oh, yeah. Casey's not feeling well this morning, he's still in bed," Owen explained. When he had gone to dorm 1.04 to round up the boys and encourage them to get up, Casey had made no sign of movement. He had gone to rouse him but was greeted with answers that were either monosyllabic or not even actual words. Gabe paused for a moment. It seemed exceptionally unlikely that Casey was actually ill, he was almost certainly just avoiding the situation. He felt a little bad for the way things had gone down the night before but was shaken from his thoughts by a slight nudge to his arm from the young teacher who asked quietly, "Everything okay?" Gabe was unsure how to answer. The man was only a few years older than he was, but being back at Kingswood, back at school, even as a former student it still felt like the teachers were the 'proper grown-ups'. Casey's behaviour was becoming a little erratic, but it was nothing he couldn't handle on his own... for now! "Yeah, all good!" he said cheerfully. "Now, what can I get you all?" he called out, immediately getting a wall of noise hurled back at him as every boy shouted their orders at once. Once Gabe had taken the orders and disappeared into the kitchen, Dusty asked, "So what's the plan today?" "Today's plan is no plan!" Owen said back, smiling. "The day is yours to use as you please!" Eric and Benji both nudged each other and giggled quietly, silently inferring to one another that it gave them another full day to be naked together. Bran rolled his eyes but resisted mocking them as he had found himself considering the same possibility with Owen. "Oh," Chris said sadly, looking round at the empty seat. "I was gonna ask if we could use the pool, but I guess Casey's not well enough for lifeguard duty!" "It's okay, I'm still happy to come supervise if you're okay with a boring old teacher hanging around!" Owen offered, seeing Chris' disappointment. "Hey, you could always join us in the pool for a change!" Bran said, eyes twinkling mischievously. Owen knew Bran was teasing, but decided to call his bluff and replied casually, "You know, I think I might just do that!" "Seriously?" Bran asked, the grin quickly dropping away at the thought of the man in a speedo. "Yup, but it'll have to be this afternoon. I've got some work I need to take care of this morning," Owen replied, shooting Bran a knowing glance. "In fact, I could use a little help with if anyone wants to volunteer to..." "I'll do it!" Bran said, almost jumping out of his seat. "Suck up!" Kyle teased, getting a snigger from Owen, but not for the reason he thought. "Okay, so I got my volunteer and anyone who wants to can join us in the pool this afternoon. Aside from that, the day is yours. Enjoy!" Owen explained happily. ***** While Eric and Benji had been more than a little tempted to disappear off together after breakfast to fuck each other senseless once again, they had ultimately decided to join Chris, Kyle and Dusty in the Common Room, though their urges were still somewhat obvious. The boys had all settled in front of the TV to watch a movie (picked by Dusty of course), but less than ten minutes into it, the Year 8 boy sat pouting as he had Eric and Benji off to his left, their tongues down each other's throats and Chris and Kyle to his right doing pretty much the same. Dusty sighed. No response. He sighed again. Still nothing. He tried one more time, sighing so heavily he sounded more like he was just having an asthma attack! "You okay there, bud?" Benji asked, sharing a slight smirk with Eric as he pulled out of their embrace. "If you guys aren't gonna pay attention, I may as well turn the movie off!" Dusty said moodily, folding his arms after hitting pause. Chris and Kyle also stopped making out as they heard his complaining. "Come on mate, we've seen this before loads of times. It's not like it takes our full attention," Eric explained, giving Benji, who was sat across his lap, a playful tickle. "Chillax!" "Chillax? You're so lame!" Benji taunted quietly, earning himself a jab in the ribs. "That's not the point, it's... well... you're all... doing stuff and..." Dusty tried to argue back, clearly a little upset. Eric was first to catch on to what really seemed to be the cause and let out a gentle sigh, glancing at Benji, then at the younger couple opposite. "Ugh, we're sorry," he apologies quickly. "We are?" Benji asked, confused. "What for?" Dusty actually looked a little more upset over the fact that Eric seemed to have caught on to his true motive, averting his gaze awkwardly. "We're all sat here, being all... coupley and everything and I'm guessing Dustin might be... missing someone, maybe?" Eric ventured. Dusty was blushing heavily now. "Sorry, it's stupid. I'm being selfish, you guys should enjoy the time together," he said, beginning to wish he hadn't even mentioned anything. "Mate, you're allowed to have feelings, ya know. It's hard being apart when you're used to spending every day together!" Eric explained. "Oh, you miss Zach!" Benji said, finally catching on. "I'm guessing you like him for his looks!" Kyle said, sniggering at Benji's slow-wittedness. All the boys laughed, even Benji who was always as willing to laugh at himself as he was at anyone else. Dusty let out another sigh as the laughter died down. "I was doing okay, but... I dunno, it kinda feels like I'm the odd one out in the dorm. Then sitting here like while you guys suck face, it just... kinda got to me." "Aww, mate, we're sorry," Benji said, climbing off of Eric's lap. He grinned and said, "You should join us, we can be a thruple for the week!" "Ben!" Eric said sharply, scowling. "What?" Benji asked, looking down at his boyfriend. "I was just kidding!" "Yeah, well... too soon!" Eric said, his brow heavily furrowed. Chris and Kyle gave each other a look, wondering if this may be a clue to what had broken them up the first time... or second time... or however many times the two boys had broken up before. Benji folded his arms defensively. "See I knew we needed to talk about this!" "We don't!" Eric snapped, then realised the three younger boys were all staring. Sensing the conversation might be about to turn to something he really didn't want to discuss with the group, he jumped to his feet and smiled. "Come on," he said, nudging his boyfriend towards the sofa Dusty was sat on. He sat down on one side of the twelve-year-old and gestured for Benji to sit the other side. Benji hesitated a moment, knowing Eric well enough to know this was just a distraction, but it didn't feel like the right place or time to really pursue it, so he took a seat the other side of Dusty and then mimicked Eric who cuddled up to the younger boy. "Hey, you don't have to..." Dusty started. "Shh, we are!" Benji said with a grin, "Now unpause!" "Woah woah woah, hold up!" Chris suddenly called out. "This..." he said, standing up and gesturing to the three boys cuddled together. "This is not acceptable!" Everyone looked at him, confused. Chris was the most tactile boy of the whole group, so his opposition to the arrangement seemed highly unusual. He suddenly let a grin spread across his face as he added, "At least, not without me!" He dove on top of the three, ending up mostly on Eric's lap and partly nestled between him and Dusty. "Hey, me too!" Kyle called out, really not wanting to be left out. Moments later, all five of them were piled together on a single sofa, arms and legs everywhere as the movie resumed. ***** Meanwhile, just down the hall in the teacher's apartment, Owen was busy doing the 'work' he had mentioned he needed to take care of, ably assisted by Bran. The student was laying on the bed, naked, with his legs pulled back, knees hooked behind his elbows. "Oh fuuuuuck!" Bran moaned happily between deep breaths. It had felt a little embarrassing to assume the position, still not entirely used to being naked in front of the teacher, let alone exposing his hole, but it was worth the slight humiliation for what he was doing. Owen knelt in front of the exposed boy. It still seemed strange to be sharing such intimacy with the student, with any student really. He knew other teachers had crossed the line before. As much as it was against the rules, it was just something that happened. He had spent years being proud of himself for never giving in to temptation. Realistically, it was only the older students that really caught his eye, the ones turning eighteen and getting ready to head off into the world. By that point, many of them looked more like men than schoolboys. Yet here he was, a naked fifteen-year-old on his bed and two fingers up his butt. Brandon had always stood out from the rest of his year for Owen, not simply because he made no secret of his attraction, but he was just a very clever, witty and entertaining boy to be around, but that was the key word – boy. Bran had been just eleven when they first met and it had always proven difficult to see him as anything else, no matter how many years passed or how much the boy matured. That had all changed that first night they got together. Brandon the boy was gone, now he was Bran the man! Part of Owen was still resistant to the whole thing, not least because it was illegal and could literally destroy his life, but also because he knew it was too late to undo the changes to their relationship and every second they spent together took them further and further from what had been before. The reluctant side of him was currently being very much suppressed. Every noise, every pleasurable squirm the teen made in response to his fingers was sending jolts of pure, excited energy through the man, but what really had him hooked was the look. As Bran lay there, he was staring back at Owen with a look of absolute adoration. "I'm not hurting you am I?" Owen asked softly. "No, it's... oh fuck... so fucking good!" Bran gasped back at him, panting. "I can tell!" Owen said with a snigger, reaching out with his other hand to grab the boy's cock. It was rock hard and oozing precum onto Bran's stomach. "Ah, fuck. I think I'm gonna cum!" Bran gasped as he felt the teacher's fingers wrap around his throbbing tool. "Not quite yet," Owen said, letting go and sniggering a little at the wet slapping noise of it hitting his stomach. "Remember, this is about getting you ready for... well... me! That's assuming you still want that!" The previous night, the teen had asked Owen to take his anal virginity. "Oh God yes, more than anything!" Bran said excitedly. Owen actually felt the boy's sphincter tighten around his fingers and then loosen as he said it. "Good, so let's keep going!" "Yes Sir!" Bran said back playfully, pushing himself further onto the man's fingers. ***** Back down the hallway, having finished tidying up after breakfast Gabe stood outside the door to dorm 1.04. That specific dorm had been his own back when he was in Year 7, but that was over ten years ago now. Strange as that felt, the conversation waiting for him on the other side of the door was likely even stranger... if he actually built the nerve to go in. Just twelve hours earlier, Casey had made a sexual advance at him... almost violently. He glanced down the hall in the direction of the apartment Mr Beecham was staying in during the half-term break. Even after years away from the school it felt like 'telling a teacher' was the thing he was supposed to do. Taking a deep breath, he knocked, then waited... no answer. Another knock but still no answer. Maybe Casey wasn't even in there. He waited a few more moments just in case before nervously opening the door. Seeing the room brought back so many memories. While it had been redecorated since his year living in it, it was still very much the same dormitory he remembered from his first year in the school. He quickly glanced round the mostly empty room and very nearly missed the body-shaped heap on one of the top bunks. He walked in, having to consciously remind himself to breathe and approached. The bunk that the presumably-Casey heap occupied was the very same one Gabe had actually slept in during his time in the dorm which made the whole situation all the more surreal. "Casey?" he called out. There was a moan under the covers followed by movement. Casey's face suddenly emerged, blinked a little from the sudden light and as his eyes focused on Gabe and let out another moan, then disappeared back under the covers. "You know, if you avoid me forever, you'll end up starving! I'm the one with all the food remember!" Gabe said, trying not to sound like he was mocking too much. "Ugh, don't mention food!" Casey groaned. Gabe moved closer and climbed part way up the ladder to Casey's bunk. "Wait, are you actually ill?" Casey threw the covers back again. He looked dreadful, his cheeks a sickly pale while his forehead looked clammy. "Fuck, you look a mess!" Gabe said in shock. "What are your symptoms? Have you been sick?" Casey grunted. "Yeah, a lot," he said taking a few deep breaths. "Owen's already spoken to Dr Arkwright. He said it doesn't sound like anything serious, just recommended rest and drinking lots!" "Good!" Gabe said, he had already been starting to diagnose the boy himself, his medical training kicking in on pure instinct. "Sounds sensible. And here I was thinking you were just avoiding me!" Casey gave a weak smile. "No, that's just an added bonus!" Gabe chuckled. "I should let you get some sleep then!" "Oh, I thought you might... stay a while," Casey said, visibly disappointed at the imminent departure. "How about this?" Gabe suggested. "You get some sleep now and I'll come hang out with you this afternoon?" "I'd like that," Casey said, smiling and letting out a gentle sigh. Gabe smiled back and climbed back down the ladder. He headed for the door but stopped as he neared it and looked back to see Casey watching him. "Just to check, when I come back, will you be trying to seduce me with your nakedness again? I just want to make sure I'm prepared this time!" "You're such a dick!" Casey scowled, though a slight grin soon followed. Gabe chuckled to himself and said, "See ya later, bud. Feel better!" ***** "Oh come on, you can't be serious!" Owen said, looking down at himself. He was stood in the office adjoining the pool area of the Sports Complex with Bran in front of him. He was currently clad in nothing but a pair of Bran's old school speedos. They barely concealed anything. At the front, the slight stubble showing made it clear that, had he not been shaved, his bush would have been on show, while round the back two inches of butt crack were visible above the waistband. "I'm not going out there in this!" Owen insisted. "But you look so fucking hot!" Bran said pleadingly. "Very flattering, but 'hot' is not the look I tend to aim for when hanging around students!" Owen said firmly. "Please," Bran begged. "Knowing you're wearing one of my speedos is... well there's no words for how sexy it is! Please, please you said you would!" Owen frowned. "I said I'd consider it! I've considered it... and it's a no!" "Oh come on," Bran whined. He grabbed the man, reaching both hands up behind his neck and interlocking his fingers, then forced him to look him in the eye. "For me... pretty please!" Owen let out a low growl. He was quickly losing the ability to say no to the boy, something he knew could only lead to trouble, but he couldn't fight it anymore. "Fine, okay!" he conceded. "Yay," Bran said happily, kissing Owen briefly on the lips. "I can't wait to see Chris' face. He'll be hard in seconds!" Owen chuckled. In many ways, Chris was like a younger version of Bran, definitely one of the standouts of the new Year 7 boys and not only for his impressive swimming skills. He was well on his way to becoming another of Owen's favourites, though he found himself feeling grateful that Chris did not share Bran's penchant for flirting. "Well I'm gonna go get ready with the others. See you out there," Bran said, heading for the door. He stopped and looked back at the near-naked man, grinned and added, "And I mean I'll see ALL of you out there!" He was gone before Owen could say anything back. The six boys emerged from the locker room together. Casey had still been feeling unwell and had stayed in the dorm, but the others had all been eager to go and enjoy some time in the pool. They were just nearing the side of the pool when Owen appeared from a door at the far end. "Oh fuck!" Chris muttered at the sight of the scantily clad teacher. "Something wrong, Chris?" Bran asked, holding back a grin. "No, no I'm fine," Chris lied, feeling his cock respond almost instantly. "We should get in!" he urged them, knowing his arousal would be easier to conceal in the water. "Hold up a sec," Bran said, grabbing Chris' shoulder. "Hey Mr B!" he shouted out. "Chris was wondering if it's okay for him to go clothing optional again as he enjoyed it so much on Monday!" "Wait, what?" Chris asked as the other boys giggled at Bran's obvious teasing. "Fine by me!" Owen announced, then performed a perfect dive into the pool. Bran couldn't help wondering if the teacher's eagerness to get into the water may have been for the same reason as Chris'. Regardless, he said cheerfully, "You heard him!" He immediately yanked Chris's speedo to the ground, stepped on it to keep it in place then pushed the younger boy so he fell naked into the pool. "Anyone else?" he asked, grinning, resulting in four sudden splashes as the remaining boys jumped in to escape him with their speedos still on. He quickly followed. "Where'd Owen go?" Benji asked, looking round as he noticed the teacher had not yet emerged. As if waiting for the prompt, Owen popped up beside them, having swam the full length of the pool under the water. "Wow, that's a long way to swim just to get a good underwater view of Chris!" Bran teased. "What? No? I... was just..." Owen stuttered as Chris blushed and the other boys sniggered. "Wow, you're as fun to mess with as Chris is!" Bran said, giving the man a knowing wink. "Shut it, you!" Owen said, grabbing Bran and pushing him under the water. As Bran popped back up, spluttering, Dusty said accusingly, "That's the sort of thing you'd normally give us detention for!" "Perk of being in charge," Owen said with a grin. "You get to bend the rules a little now and then!" Eric and Benji exchanged a mischievous look. "Well if all rules are out..." Eric started. Immediately, the two teens lunged at the teacher, Eric going low to knock out his legs while Benji aimed high and toppled him into the water. The others watched on, not quite sure yet whether the other two had gone too far. They popped back up, sniggering, followed by a coughing Owen, who glared at them furiously for just a second before he grinned and declared, "Oh. It. Is. On!" ***** The last thing Casey remembered was moving down from his bunk to one of the sofas. He had been unable to get comfortable on the bed and hoped the move might change that. It clearly had as he had been asleep again almost the moment he sat down. As he awoke now though, he could feel something was different. His head wasn't resting on the arm of the sofa or a cushion, it was on someone's lap. There was a cool cloth on his forehead that just seemed to be leeching the excess heat out of his burning skin. There was a hand gently resting on his chest, his own hands gripping tightly onto it. He smiled before he even opened his eyes, knowing it had to be Gabe. "When did you get here?" he asked dreamily as he let his eyes flutter open. "About an hour ago. You woke up when I sat down but were out again so quick I'm not surprised you don't remember!" Gabe explained. "This feels nice," Casey said, raising a hand to the cold cloth. "Yeah, thought it'd help with the fever a little," Gabe said softly. Casey took a deep breath and sighed, "I'm glad you're here!" Gabe shrugged and replied, "Well I told you I was coming back." Casey shook his head slightly. "No, I mean... I'm glad you're here, back at Kingswood!" "Yeah, I could see how glad you were last night!" Gabe said, teasing a little. Casey closed his eyes and let out a low groan. "Like, what was the plan there?" Gabe asked, shaking his head. Casey opened his eyes and looked understandably embarrassed. "It was meant to be, like, don't move, don't take no for an answer!" "Woah," Gabe said, looking suddenly serious. "Never say that. Ever!" he scolded, verging on angry. "ALWAYS take no for an answer." "I know, I know. Paul made sure I always knew that; you taught him well!" Casey insisted. It was still a little unusual for the two to be together without Paul, he had been their mutuial connection. "I didn't mean I'd ignore an actual no; the idea was just to be... persistent!" "Okay," Gabe said, confident the teen was being sincere in knowing limits. "But that's still a pretty fucking stupid idea!" "I know, I know!" Casey said, shaking his head a little. The cloth slipped a little as he moved, so Gabe grabbed it, plunged it into the bowl of icy water to his side, wrung it out and returned it to Casey's forehead. "I don't even get why you're... I dunno... after me! Sure, I know you liked me when I was still at school here, but that never seemed serious. If I recall correctly, you were just as interested in pretty much every guy you saw! So what's the deal here, bud?" Casey gave a gentle moan and closed his eyes again. "Please, not now!" "Sorry," Gabe apologised, realising he was not really encouraging the rest he knew the boy needed to feel better. "Hey, you should drink something," he encouraged, offering the teen a bottle of water. Casey sat up and took the bottle, taking several small sips before handing it back and laying back down. "I'm not sleeping any more, I'm just gonna lay down a bit," he said confidently. He was asleep again within a minute. ***** Things had stayed pretty lively over at the pool. Owen's relaxation of the usual rules opened the group up to a lot more horseplay, with the boys jumping all over each other as well as Owen. They had ended up playing with a ball, although the actual extent of the game just seemed to be piling on whoever was holding it to try and wrestle it off of them, before the struggle ultimately started all over again with its next holder. Owen had just managed to hold the boys off for a good couple of minutes but had eventually lost his grip, with Eric excitedly swimming away with the ball before the others could realise. Once they caught on, they took off across the pool after him, except for Owen who was struggling to catch his breath. Bran saw the man staying behind and lingered back, leaving the younger boys to continue their chase. "Can't keep up with the kids, old man?" Bran asked with a wicked grin. "Considering all the other rules I'm bending today," Owen said, panting a little, "I should warn you... I'm willing to slap you!" Bran glanced round and, confident the others were both well out of earshot and far too busy to even try to listen in, replied, "Well depending on where you wanna slap me, that actually sounds kinda fun!" Owen laughed and shook his head. "That can be arranged!" he said quietly. Before they could say any more, a familiar sound drifted across the surface of the pool... Eric and Benji arguing. Just because they were back together certainly didn't mean they got on perfectly now. Whatever had caused the argument, it didn't look too serious. As the other three boys dispersed, leaving them to it, they once again began fighting to take control of the ball. Dusty looked round at Bran and rolled his eyes, having learned very quickly that even his excellent diplomatic skills weren't enough to calm the pair when they really got going. Staying out of it when they were volatile was the safest move. Chris and Kyle had taken it as an excuse to go their own way, with Chris laying stomach-down on a large float while Kyle clung to the side of it, their faces close together as they chatted and slipped in quick little kisses when they thought nobody was watching. Owen had moved to the edge of the pool, his arms out to the sides holding himself up. Bran had watched the Eric/Benji fight for a moment, but it ended as quickly as it began and a quiet sense of peace washed over the area. Bran quickly swam across to Owen, but deliberately kept his distance, not wanting to arouse any suspicion from the others. "Those two are such a handful," Bran said, shaking his head. Being one of the two older students, he had definitely taken on a more supervisory role than some of the others, especially now with Casey absent. Owen glanced round again and replied quietly, "Yeah, and speaking of handfuls, I hope you enjoyed yours while we were playing!" Bran frowned and shrugged a little. "Before. When I had the ball. You know, when your hands were... well let's say not aiming for the right balls!" Owen said wryly. "I... never touched you!" Bran said innocently. Owen smirked. "Yeah, okay," he said, convinced it was another of the boy's pranks. Bran moved a little closer and raised his eyebrows as he nodded, "I'm serious. I wanted to, but I... knew we had to be careful!" "Bran, don't joke..." Owen said, slightly nervously. "I'm not!" Bran insisted. "So someone was... getting handsy?" Owen looked mortified as he nodded. "They were more than handsy, they were... properly going for it. This fuckin' speedo could barely hold me in!" Bran moved close, mouth slight agape and said, "So you let one of these guys feel you up AND you got hard?" "Oh my God," Owen muttered, looking round at the other five boys. "Wait, so we've been together less than a day and you're already cheating on me?" Bran asked angrily. Owen managed to turn so pale he almost blended into the tiles as he stuttered, "N... no... I wasn't... I mean... I wouldn't... well... erm..." Bran grinned devilishly. "Oh relax, I'm kidding. And don't worry... it was me!" The colour suddenly returned to Owen's cheeks, accompanied by a look of sheer fury. "Oh you really ARE getting spanked today!" Bran sniggered at the prank and moved closer, holding onto the side of the pool close to the older man, but appropriately far enough to look like they were just having a normal student/teacher conversation. "Okay, so... if it wasn't me... who would you think it was?" Bran asked mischievously. "Think it was or wish it was?" Owen asked, joking casually. "Oh!" Bran said, smirking and raising an eyebrow. Owen knew he had said something he would regret. "There's a difference, is there?" Bran asked knowingly. "Okay, so who would you THINK it was and who would you WISH it was?" "I didn't mean it like that!" Owen said, blushing. Bran shrugged, leaning his head back slightly onto Owen's hand as it gripped the side of the pool. "Too late, you said it. You gotta answer!" Owen made a mental note to be a lot cannier in speaking to the excitable teen, but figured he would let him have this one. "Well I would THINK it was Benji, he's the only one I think who's bold enough to actually try it!" "Okay, and who would you WISH it was?" Bran asked, feeling his cock swell a little. It was strange, he had wanted Owen for so long, wanted him all to himself, but the thought of him with someone else was undeniably turning him on. Owen rolled his eyes and looked round the pool. He was trying to think which of the five boys dotted around would be least embarrassing. In reality, none of them appealed to him directly. Before Bran, he had never really allowed himself to think of the students at the school in a remotely sexual manner. He still didn't. His attraction to Bran hadn't suddenly flipped a switch and made him into a boy-lover, so trying to answer was actually proving tougher than expected. Suddenly the answer occurred to him, and it was a completely honest answer too. "Chris!" he said succinctly. "Oh my!" Bran said, grinning at the image of the horny and easily embarrassed boy with Owen. "Not for any reason like that!" Owen said, sighing a little as he shook his head dismissively. "I... want to connect with him!" "I bet ya do!" Bran growled. "Will you get your mind out of the gutter!" Owen admonished the boy who just smirked back at him. "He's got potential, in the pool I mean. Definitely one of the most capable swimmers I've seen in a long time. I want to train him because he could be world-class. All the embarrassing stuff is entertaining and everything, but... it's putting up a wall between us and he'll never go for it if he's too awkward to even look me in the eye!" Bran was grinning but remained silent. "Ugh, you're just a pervert!" Owen said, slightly annoyed at the boy's one-track mind. "No, I... I'm not being... like that," he said defensively, moving just a little closer. "It's just... you're amazing as a maths teacher, like, you'd be my favourite even if I didn't fancy you, but this is where you shine!" He felt a little awkward speaking to the man so candidly. Even with their rapidly developing relationship it was still a little uncomfortable to speak to him so openly. "You have this passion when you talk about swimming, it's... well it's really sexy!" Owen smiled. "I'm glad you approve," he said, raising a hand to playfully pat the teen's head. "But yeah, you're right. This is what I love. Not many people get to do what they love!" "I will later!" Bran said playfully, but the grin dropped quickly as he realised what he had just indirectly said. "I mean, I'm not saying... I mean..." "Relax, I know what you meant," Owen said with a snigger. Bran looked thoroughly relieved. "Thanks," he said, taking a deep breath. "When did you... know it was what you loved though?" he asked, looking uncharacteristically thoughtful. Owen shrugged. "I kinda grew up in the pool. I always loved it I suppose." "I don't have anything like that," Bran said sadly. "Like... I've got things I enjoy, but nothing that I wake up thinking about and... and NEED to do! Is that weird?" Owen immediately shook his head. "Nah! Not even a little bit. You're still finding yourself, don't be in a such a rush to figure everything out. Sometimes it's good to just relax and enjoy the ride!" Bran looked back at him, clearly fighting an urge. "Okay, you can have that one!" Owen said, holding back a snigger. "I'll definitely enjoy the ride later!" Bran blurted out with a playful grin. Owen rolled his eyes as he shook his head but couldn't help laughing a little. "Right, out of the way!" Eric suddenly called out. As everyone looked round at him, he headed to the side of the pool with Benji. "We're racing, clear some room!" "Is there a reason?" Bran asked as Dusty, Chris and Kyle made their way across to join them at the side of the pool. "Yeah, to see who's faster. You've never heard of a race?" Benji asked mockingly. "You're as funny as you are hot!" Bran said back derisively, getting a laugh from the others. Benji looked thoughtful for a moment as he continued to the end of the pool, then glanced at Bran, grinned and said, "Thanks, I'm actually taking that as a compliment." "It wasn't meant as one!" Bran insisted. "Doesn't matter, still taking it as one!" Benji said, climbing out of the pool. "But we're racing because Eric says he's faster," he explained. "No, I say you're slower, there's a difference!" Eric said, climbing out to stand beside his boyfriend. Chris leaned in and whispered something to Kyle, then both boys laughed. "Something funny?" Eric called out. "Actually I think they were perving on you and totally objectifying you!" Bran called out. "I mean, I am too, so... stand there as long as you like!" It was indeed quite an enjoyable sight. Eric's body was fairly toned, but the water had darkened the slight treasure trail and highlighted it against his pale, flat stomach, really drawing the eye to his speedo which he filled out nicely with his soft cock and ample balls. To his side, Benji stood a few inches taller, but was visibly much slimmer. While the water had darkened his hair to a dark auburn, the slight sheen of wetness across his torso paired with the almost entire lack of body fat allowed every muscle to show, making him look much more toned than usual. "Okay, so what's the distance, to the end and back?" Owen asked, wanting to keep the focus on the race before the entire atmosphere became too sexually charged. "He won't even make it that far," Eric sniggered. "If he drowns, I win, right?" "If I drown, I only want Owen giving me mouth-to-mouth. Or maybe Bran!" Benji said playfully. Eric whispered something angrily back to him, getting a sigh in response so he called out, "Forget that. Apparently he'd prefer me to just drown than even be touched by another human!" "That's not what I fucking said!" Eric snapped furiously. "Are you racing or arguing?" Owen called out, hoping to cut off the argument quickly. "We're happy watching either!" Bran added, getting a gentle punch in the arm from the teacher in response. "We're racing. We can argue later apparently...." Benji said, rolling his eyes again. "Okay, get in position," Owen said. He watched as they moved apart slightly, then called out, "On your marks... get set... go!" Both boys dived into the pool on go and began swimming hard. The other boys were immediately cheering them on, not necessarily cheering for either one in particular, just supporting the race in general. It was close as they reached the end of the first length, touching the far end of the pool at almost the exact same moment before pushing off for the return. "It's gonna be close!" Owen said, always happy to see a bit of healthy competition. "If you value our peace even slightly, you've got to call this as a tie!" Dusty said from beside Owen. "Even if it isn't!" "He's right!" Bran agreed. "What, no... I..." Owen went to argue back. It went against his natural instinct, but he knew they were right. The two boys pushed hard and while it really was close, Benji touched the end a second before Eric. They both looked to each other, both sure they had won. They immediately looked to Owen, as did the others. The teacher hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Couldn't have been closer. It's a tie!" "Ha!" Benji called out. "Told you I wasn't slower!" "Yeah but you weren't faster!" Eric snapped back. Dusty looked disappointed that even a tie hadn't placated them, with Owen looking equally frustrated. "Guys, guys, you're missing the point here!" Bran said, beckoning them over. As they got nearer he grinned and said, "What matters here isn't who was faster or who was slower. What matters is that you both suck just as much as each other!" The taunt did its job perfectly, with both boys turning their vitriol towards Bran instead of aiming it at each other. They began shouting abuse back at him right away. "I could beat you any day!" Eric said angrily. Bran nodded. "You could," he agreed. "I'm a terrible swimmer, and they say it takes one to know one!" The self-derision completely took the wind out of Eric and Bran's ranting. It was hard to insult someone who agreed with what you were saying! Bran's plan to calm the situation just needed one more step to complete – a distraction. "Now if you want to see good swimming, we need to get Mr B racing!" he said with a casual shrug. Owen looked a little surprised to be drawn into it but looked confident. He knew he doubtlessly could beat either of the two, but from the looks on their faces, they did too. He chuckled a little at how well Bran had handled it. Now that his plan to silence the squabbling teens was complete, a new plan quickly formed in his twisted little mind. "But I reckon if you wanna see a REAL competition, you wanna see him race Chris!" Bran added. It was a perfect double-whammy. Owen had expressed his desire to connect with Chris and this forced them into contact, but at the same time, he had noticed throughout the race that the naked boy was very unsubtly being played with by Kyle. "Now I don't think that's..." Owen started, but was quickly cut off. "Yeah, do it!" Benji called out happily. "Well I'm... erm..." Chris stuttered, alarmed to be so suddenly involved. Kyle jumped at the opportunity to embarrass his friend and gave him a shove towards the end of the pool. "Yeah, come on, show us what you got!" His double-meaning was about as subtle as his groping had been. "Wait, I just... need a minute to... prepare!" Chris mumbled awkwardly. "Nah, you don't!" Eric and Benji said in unison, giggling as they grabbed Chris and lifted him up onto the side of the pool. His naked body emerged from the water, hands clasped embarrassingly over his crotch. Eric looked to Owen. "Don't make us do you too!" he taunted the teacher who was slowly making his way towards Chris. The naked boy stood, blushing heavily as he kept his hand cupped his hands in front of his exposed crotch, watching Owen swim nearer and begin to climb out. "Oh yeah, looking good Mr B!" Bran called out as the man stood facing the pool. The small speedo really clung to him, leaving virtually nothing to the imagination of the horny boys spectating. Chris glanced sideways too and immediately wished he hadn't. "Come on, assume the position," Bran taunted Chris as Owen stood ready to start their race. Chris let out a gentle moan and dropped his hands to his side. His erection sprang free. He hoped the race would start quickly before it could draw too much attention. Needless to say, the boy's obvious arousal drew a LOT of attention right away. Even Owen couldn't help looking round at it. "Well he can't swim with that!" Bran called out. "Think of the extra drag. That's not a fair race!" "Let me get my speedo then!" Chris called out, glad to have the excuse to put at least a single item of clothing on. "Come on, we know a speedo won't make that thing go away!" Bran called back. "Yeah," Benji called out, joining in the enjoyment in the boy's obvious embarrassment. "We know there's only one sure-fire way to get a boner to go away!" "Lads..." Owen warned nervously. "Come on Chris, just knock out a quick one and then we can get on with this race!" Bran suggested excitedly. "What? No!" Chris said, looking mortified, though the twitching of his cock gave away his true feelings on it. "Yeah, we're not doing that!" Owen called out, frowning. The boys all looked disappointed, but Bran called back, "Come on, you've seen it before just as much as we have. Go on Chris, do it!" Owen was ready to admonish Bran when he saw Chris grab his cock and begin stroking. "Chris, you... don't have to do this!" he said softly. Despite his profuse blushing, the boy shot Owen a momentary smile and said back, "It's okay, no big deal!" To the rest of the boys, it was a VERY big deal. Kyle's eyes were virtually popping out of his head at the sight of his friend masturbating on the side of the pool, naked, next to a teacher. His own cock was at risk of shooting untouched from the sheer excitement of what he was seeing. Dusty, Benji and Eric looked just as enthralled, erections popping up immediately. Bran, however, had his eyes firmly fixed on Owen. He knew the man did not approve, but it felt amazing to be pushing his limits in such a way. There was only one thing he could want now, something he kept watching for and hoping to see... any sign of growth in the man's speedo. Owen didn't know what to do with himself. He knew he should likely stop the whole thing, but the spectating boys seemed to be loving it and Chris himself was very visibly (and audibly) enjoying the experience. He tried to keep looking straight ahead, knowing that he shouldn't be seeing any of it, but still, his eyes kept betraying him and shooting sideways to watch the naked boy jerking off. It was when he allowed himself to look in Bran's direction that he really knew he had made a mistake. He realised where his lover's eyes were fixed and he felt himself blush a little, worried momentarily that others may notice too. He did his best to fight it, but Chris masturbating mere feet away and Bran's eyes on his crotch began to have the inevitable affect. He didn't fully bone up, but his cock certainly chubbed up enough to make the small speedo reach its full capacity. "Oh, oh yeah... ugh!" Chris grunted as he reached his most public climax ever, his legs wobbling just a little as an orgasm ripped through him. He remembered the teasing comment Mr Beecham had made the first time he caught him cumming beside the pool. 'Come on lads, not in the pool. That stuff really clogs the filters!' While he knew the boys watching wanted to see him shoot properly, he placed his hand over the end of his cock and pumped his load into it. "Fuck me!" Benji declared at the sight of their young roommate cumming openly in front of them all. Chris stood panting, humiliated and exhilarated in equal measure, realising he had a softening cock in one hand and a rather hefty load of spunk in the other. He shot Bran a smirk, knowing exactly how the teen had manufactured the entire situation. He had come this far, so he figured he really didn't have any reason to hold back now. He raised his hand to his mouth and sucked the semen from it noisily, then licked his palm clean as the teacher and other students watched in excited amazement. The cum-eating caused a round of raucous cheering from the boys were already shocked from the entire show and now crossed the line into absolute disbelief. Chris burst into laughter in response to their cheers, grinning broadly. "Okay, can we move this along," Owen said, eager to get into the water. "Yeah, sorry," Chris said, positioning himself ready to race. "Hold up!" Bran called out. If looks could kill, the glare from Owen would have killed the teen on the spot. His eyes widened, giving a non-verbal 'don't you fucking dare'. "If we weren't letting Chris swim with a boner, how's it fair to let Mr B do it?" Bran called out. All eyes suddenly shot from Chris' crotch to the teacher stood beside him. Owen's hands immediately swooshed in front of the small speedo as he declared, "I do NOT have an erection!" "Then what you covering?" Benji called out with a snigger. "Look, are we racing or not?" Owen demanded, trying to change the subject. "Sure, once you take care of your little problem!" Bran teased. Owen squinted another angry glare momentarily at Bran, but then smiled and tried to act casual. "Look lads, I may have relaxed the rules a little bit today, but I'm not gonna stand here and touch myself in front of you! You'll have to fill up your wank banks another way!" "But Sir, we won't tell anyone!" Benji urged the man. "And you know what happens at half-term stays at half-term!" Bran added with a knowing grin. "And you were okay with Chris doing it," Dusty interjected. "Surely if we're a society that strives for equality..." "Oh God, do it quick, just to save us from another Dustin lecture!" Eric called out, shooting the younger boy a cheeky grin to let him know he was mostly kidding. Owen looked from each boy to the next, although they looked amused at the predicament the man found himself in, there was a hopeful and undeniably horny expression on each of their faces. Bran stared back at him, pleading silently. It was obvious how much the idea excited him. "Fuck," Owen muttered, shaking his head. "Okay, but nobody else hears about this, ever! Got it?" There was a collective cheer from the boys still in the pool, while Chris, stood beside him, looked just about ready to pass out! The teacher cautiously moved his hands away. He had been honest when he said he wasn't hard, his cock definitely not at full firmness yet, but it was certainly close. He grabbed it through the wet lycra and gave it a gentle squeeze. Bran began to swim closer, the rest of the boys seeing his move as permission to do the same. By the time the man's cock was at full mast, he had a crowd of five horny boys in front of him in the pool and Chris still standing at the side, his softened cock very rapidly stiffening again. For a moment, Owen considered just brazenly removing the speedo and tossing it aside, if only to try and show his own confidence, but he backed down at the last moment and instead just pulled the front of the swimwear down. His cock emerged, thick, long and shaved, the first 'adult' cock most of them had seen in person. Owen fixed his mind on Bran, knowing that thinking too much about the younger boys would likely just slow the process. As exciting as the exposure, the risk and the sheer adrenaline was, most of his spectators were still just boys and this was clearly more for their enjoyment than his own. He grabbed his cock and began stroking, starting slowly but quickly gaining speed. In the pool, Dusty's hands were in his speedo, but the subtle movements and extreme blushing made it clear he was trying not to be noticed. Eric and Benji, never the most subtle anyway, were very openly jerking each other off, an arm around each other as they did it. Behind them, Bran was, surprisingly, not even touching himself. His eyes were fixed on the older man, taking in every inch, memorising every moment and while he was exceptionally aroused, he wanted to save his excitement for later with Owen. Kyle looked thoroughly bewildered. The near-naked man masturbating was almost mind-breakingly exciting and something that would fuel wank fantasies for years to come, but beside Owen, Chris remained naked and had now begun masturbating again. The boy he was falling in love with, very publicly jerking his way towards a second load, alongside a wanking teacher; it was almost incomprehensible. Any anxiety he may have had about jerking off with others around was completely brushed aside by the sheer thrill of the moment. Owen usually would have been a little more animated in playing with himself, but despite the arousal, it was still somewhat embarrassing to be pleasuring himself in front of students, so the thought of teasing a nipple or fingering himself was just a little too far. Instead he just allowed his fist to stroke rapidly back and forth as he felt an orgasm begin to build. He was just moments from release when a thought suddenly struck him – where should he cum? Usually he would just let it fly, he loved to get messy and could usually get a good distance, but right in front of him was the small group of students. Masturbating for them was already over the line but cumming on them felt like just a few steps too far. He momentarily considered shooting into his hand, just as Chris had done, but would that lead to the expectation that he would 'clean up' in the same manner? As his legs wobbled and he let out a low, guttural moan, the decision was made. He aimed his cock up, shooting the first load straight into the air before splattering down near his feet. The subsequent shots were aimed a little further back, covering his own muscular torso with thick, white streaks. He had just milked out the last few drops which dribbled into his fingers when he felt something hit his leg. Owen turned to the side and saw a mortified-looking Chris standing with his cock in hand, remnants of his second orgasm dripping from his small cock. The first spurt he shot had actually managed to hit the teacher. Owen just stared at him for a second, the two sharing a moment of mutual excitement and humiliation. "There, that's better, isn't it!" Bran called out happily. Owen blushed and slipped his cock back into the speedo. "Now, about that race..." Bran said, the comment prompting the suddenly embarrassed looking boys to swim back to the side of the pool as their unsubtle masturbation was interrupted. "Whadda you say we make things... a little more interesting?" "I think things are already interesting enough, thank you!" Owen said sternly. Bran grinned and ignored the comment as he suggested. "How about if Chris wins, Mr B has to continue wearing just a speedo for all swim practices for the rest of term?" Owen looked less-than-amused. While he was not shy about his body, he certainly found it harder to keep control of the various teams when he was dressed for swimming. The boys, however, seemed to very much like the forfeit. "And if Mr B wins," Bran went on, grinning at Chris. "Chris remains naked at all swim practices for the rest of the year!" "Oooooh!" the other boys chorused, looking from Bran round to the two cum-covered competitors who stood ready at the end of the pool. "Brandon, that is ridiculous!" Owen admonished him. "Sounds like someone's scared he's gonna lose a race to a twelve-year-old!" Eric taunted. Owen scowled. "Far from it, I fully expect to win, I just don't think it's fair to inflict a punishment like that on Chris for a race he didn't request and a bet he didn't ask to make!" "I'm okay with it!" Chris quickly offered. He regretted it almost immediately, but his enjoyment of humiliation had kicked in for a moment and the thought of such a forfeit was wildly exciting. "You heard him!" Bran called out. "Okay, get in position!" "Chris, you don't have to do this!" Owen whispered to the boy beside him. Chris smiled sweetly. "I know, but it's fun!" Owen sighed. Somehow, masturbating in front of six students was suddenly not the strangest part of his day! He shook out his limbs a little to loosen up. While he was confident he could beat Chris, he wanted to be at his best anyway. "On your marks... get set... GO!" Bran called out excitedly. They both got off to a flawless start, diving in perfectly. While the boys began to cheer, mostly for Chris, there was not really much for them to watch, neither Chris nor Owen had broken the surface yet, swimming underwater for the whole length. The race was exceptionally close as they neared the end of the first length, but ultimately it was the turn that changed the fortunes. While Chris broke the surface and kicked away hard from the end, Owen pulled off a perfect manoeuvre that allowed him to spin effortlessly under the water and then kick off the end flawlessly. It gave him an instant lead and while Chris made up some time on the return lap, Owen was clearly the winner. With the others cheering, as much for the knowledge of Chris' forfeit as for the actual spectacle of the race, Owen and Chris grinned at each other, panting slightly as they gripped the side of the pool. They swam close and grabbed each other in an almost-hug that lasted just a second. "Great race!" Owen said honestly. "That turn was nuts. We were so close and then you were just gone!" Chris said in awe. "Let me coach you and you'll be even better than I am in no time!" Owen urged the boy. Chris grinned and nodded. "Okay, I'll do it!" he said happily. "Excellent. And don't worry, I'm not gonna hold you to Bran's ridiculous bet!" Owen said, knowing Chris had likely just got caught up in the excitement of the moment. "How about I only do it in our extra practices?" Chris offered slightly nervously. Owen chuckled. "We'll see!" ***** The boys had stayed away from the dorm for the rest of the day and well into the evening, ensuring Casey was given plenty of peace to rest and recover. By the time they all turned in for the night, he was back up in his bunk and sound sleep again. Benji and Eric had done their usual routine of spending a little time together in bed enjoying each other's company before separating back to their own bunks to get space to sleep. Bran had been quick to settle down, knowing he had a quiet alarm set on the phone under his pillow to wake him up around midnight so he could sneak off to spend more time with Owen. Dusty had been quite relaxed for a change, with no Eric/Benji fights to mediate and no other apparent drama in the dorm, he was able to head to bed quite happy. Chris and Kyle had cuddled up together in Kyle's bed, making out for a while as the others began to fall off to sleep. Kyle let out a hearty yawn and nuzzled himself against Chris happily. "Actually, d'you mind if we don't share tonight?" Chris whispered. "Oh, sure, you need some space?" Kyle asked, worried he was already becoming too clingy. "From you? Never!" Chris said, kissing the other boy on the lips for a few seconds. They both let out a happy little mew as they parted. "I actually wanted to climb up and sleep with Casey. He looked after me the first night when I was upset, so now he's sick I wanna be there to look after him too!" "Oh my God, that's too cute!" Kyle said, grinning. "Well so long as he keeps his hands to himself, I'm good with that!" "You're the best!" Chris said, kissing Kyle again before slipping out of the bed and starting up the ladder to Casey's bunk. He carefully lay down at the teen's side, trying not to disturb him. Unfortunately, the movement was enough to make Casey stir and he began to wake. Feeling a body at his side he mumbled, "Gabe?" Chris felt bad for waking him but smiled at the mention of the other name. It was quite obvious that Casey was somewhat smitten with his former schoolmate. "No, sorry, it's just me, Chris," he whispered back. "Oh, hey," Casey said, smiling through a yawn. "What time is it?" "About ten-thirty," Chris guessed. "How you feeling?" Casey thought for a moment. He had been asleep for so much of the afternoon and evening that he hadn't really felt much of anything. "Not perfect, but waaaay better! Thanks!" "Good," Chris said with a sweet smile. "It wasn't the same today without you!" "Aww, thanks bud," Casey said, shuffling round slightly to slip an arm underneath Chris. "Why don't you tell me what thrills I've missed today?" Chris cast his mind back over the day and grinned, not having really considered what a crazy day it had been until then. "Well we watched a movie this morning, but Dusty got a bit upset cos we were coupled up and he was missing Zach, I think maybe we should do something else to cheer him up tomorrow. But we kinda made him feel better with lots of cuddles and stuff, cos we all just kinda piled on. Benji called it a cuddle puddle, it was so silly!" Chris began explaining, continuing to talk through the rest of the morning. Casey could almost feel himself nodding off again, but his eyes shot open as Chris began to explain what had happened in the pool. "No fucking way!" Casey exclaimed in utter disbelief. "You're making that shit up!" "Nope, swear on my life, all true, but you can't tell anyone else. I don't think I was even meant to tell you, but I know you're cool so you won't blab," Chris went on. He continued on, summarising the evening, but it all seemed a little tame compared to the afternoon. "So how's your day been? Seen much of Gabe?" he finished, grinning wickedly at the mention of the young man who had caught Casey's attention. Casey couldn't help smiling as he nodded. "Yeah, he came up and spent the afternoon with me, it was really sweet," Casey explained, deliberately not mentioning the awkwardness of the previous night. "So d'you think you and him are gonna... ya know... get together?" Chris asked, unashamedly prying. Casey just shrugged. He knew what Gabe had said, but he also knew how keen he still was to make it happen. "So... what are you actually hoping for?" Chris asked, slightly confused. "I mean, you gave us the whole 'relationships are bad and if you try to have one you'll die' speech yesterday..." "Now quite how I put it!" Casey objected. "Well close enough. But if you're not after a relationship, you just want him for a one-off thing? Seems like a lot of chasing just for a hookup. I mean, you've seen you, right? Most guys at the school would jump at the chance to do you!" Chris said, more than a little confused. Casey sighed. Chris made a good point, one that Gabe himself had been getting at earlier. It was a question he had been pushing aside ever since he began actively pursuing the former student, but how long could he really ignore it? "There's... more to it than that," Casey tried to fob the boy off. It was true, he was definitely feeling a lot more things than the boy seemed to grasp, but just like earlier, now did not feel like the time for it. "But back to your day... did you really jizz on a teacher?" "Yeah, it was so embarrassing. I could have died!" Chris said dramatically. Casey chuckled. "I love how you say embarrassing like it's such a bad thing yet your cock does this!" He playfully flicked the boy's erection. "Sorry, I'll keep hands to myself. You're virtually a married man now!" The smile dropped from Chris' face. "Yeah, I guess so!" he whispered. "Oof, trouble in paradise?" Casey whispered back, conscious of the need to ensure the others didn't listen in on such a private matter. Chris let out a gentle sigh. "No, no problem, I just... I really like Kyle, he's sweet and funny and sexy and I love being with him, but... it's not really who I imagined myself being with." "Well... are you happy?" Casey asked simply. He got a nod in response. "And is Kyle happy?" Another nod. "Then what else do you really need to think about? Maybe just enjoy being happy for a while!" Chris smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't overthink!" "OVER think?" Casey asked with a snigger. "Now there's a problem I bet you don't get often!" "Ugh, can tell you're feeling better!" Chris said, reluctantly grinning at the playful insult he had received. "I came up to look after you, but if you're better now, I can go!" "You're not going anywhere!" Casey said, gripping tightly onto the younger boy. "Good!" Chris said happily as he nuzzled against the large teen. "Hey, maybe if you're feeling better tomorrow you can take me to the pool and I can give you a re-enactment of today!" Casey chuckled again. "Wow, you're just a horny little bitch, aren't you!" Chris chuckled and teasingly pressed his boner against Casey's leg as he got comfortable, the two boys cuddling together until they finally fell asleep. ----------------------------------- If you enjoy my writing, please support me on patreon at https://www.patreon.com/matterotica or check out my other stories on Nifty, links below The Benny Saga (in reading order) Benny Takes Control - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/benny-takes-control/ The Dangers of Desire - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/the-dangers-of-desire/ Benny's House - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/bennys-house/ Other Series Possession - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/sf-fantasy/possession-series/ Jack Hamilton - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/jack-hamilton/ Phil's Naked Adventures - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/phils-naked-adventures/ Tales from Kingswood - http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/highschool/tales-from-kingswood/ One-shots The Art of Seduction - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/adult-youth/the-art-of-seduction Jake's Exposure - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/jakes-exposure Becoming an Internet Master - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/becoming-an-internet-master Brian's Big Mistake - http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/brians-big-mistake And Then It Got Worse - https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/masturbation/and-then-it-got-worse
