Jason moved back away from the kitchen door, allowing Daniel to enter. "What's up, you sound like you weren't expecting me?" "Yeah, er, sorry. I guess I was thinking about other things." Jason turned his back on his friend and crossed the kitchen to the fridge. "Want a drink of something?" "Sure, what have you got?" "Sprite or cola." "I'll have a Sprite." Jason retrieved a couple of cans from the fridge and the two boys sat down at the kitchen table. There followed a rather uncomfortable silence as neither boy seemed sure what to say. Daniel wanted to ask Jason how he'd got on with the doctor but at the same he preferred to avoid discussion of his own embarrassing experience. And so the two of them just sat in silence, avoiding looking at each other. Draining the last of the drink, Daniel placed the empty can on the tabletop in front of him. Holding it in his hands, he turned it around for several seconds before pressing inwards with his thumbs, crushing the thin aluminium. This was silly. "Want to talk about it?" "Not especially." "Me neither." Daniel looked up at his friend and their eyes met. He grinned and gave a short, dry laugh and Jason followed suit. "At least you didn't have your mother there, watching every little detail." "Maybe not, but Ben sure got a good eyeful." Daniel shrugged. "What's the big deal? He's your brother, surely you've seen each other naked before." "Yeah, but not for ages. And he'd never seen me with a boner before." Daniel felt his own eyes go wide. "Ben saw you hard? Didn't the doctor let you turn away or anything?" "No chance. He did the whole examination thing right there in front of the little runt." "Phew!" Daniel let out a sharp breath. "That must have been pretty embarrassing. At least I had my back to mum most of the time while I was naked. Though she did get a good look just for a second or two. Luckily I wasn't hard or anything at the time. I think if she'd seen me hard I would have died. As it is, she's been saying things about me being mummy's big boy and how nice it is to see me all grown up." Jason was grinning at his friend's discomfort. "You've gone all red." "Yeah, so would you if your mother got to see everything you had. If she doesn't let it drop soon I might just have to kill her." Both boys laughed. "The doctor seemed to be a pretty cool guy," Daniel continued. "If my mother hadn't been there, it wouldn't have been so bad." "You speak for yourself," said Jason, with a grimace. "It was no fun having another guy playing around with my dick." "Oh, so you would rather it had been a woman doctor?" Jason appeared to consider this idea for second then gave a wide smile. "Ok, you have a point. Maybe in this case it was better that it was a guy." "So, you gonna be my partner then?" Daniel asked, his tone casual as if the answer would be a forgone conclusion. Jason looked uncomfortable, suddenly seeming to find the drink-can incredibly interesting. "I can't," he muttered, eventually. "What...? Why?" His friend's answer had caught Daniel completely be surprise. He'd just assumed that since they were best friends that they would naturally be partnering each other. "I've got to partner Ben," said Jason. Slowly he raised his eyes. "I told the doctor this afternoon that me and Ben would be partners." "I'm sure Doctor Lomax will let you change your mind," Daniel said, hopefully. "That's not the problem. It's Ben. The runt doesn't know anyone else taking part. On the way home this afternoon I told him I'd be partnering you and not him, but when we got home he went straight to the phone and rang dad on his mobile. Dad says I've got to go with Ben and that's the end of it." "Oh, I see." This news had well and truly taken the wind out of Daniel's sails. He didn't really know what would be happening in future sessions with the doctor, but he felt pretty sure that for much of the time they would be required to be undressed, and the prospect of going through that ordeal with someone other than Jason suddenly made the whole thing seem even more daunting that it had before. Besides, if he were honest with himself, there was another reason he had really wanted Jason to be his partner; recently his feelings for Jason had gone beyond simple friendship. Often, on a night when he was laid in bed, he would think of his friend and his cock would become hard. Sometimes he would rub himself as he imagined the two of them touching each other's bodies. A few moments ago, hearing Jason describe how he had had an erection in front of Ben had caused Daniel's dick to stir in his pants and it had occurred to him that if they were partners, maybe he would get the chance to see the boy with a full stiffie. Now all his hopes had been suddenly dashed. "Well, never mind, I guess I'll have to find one of the other guys to partner me." He forced his face into a smile that he didn't feel. "I'm sorry dude." Jason pushed his hand across the table until his fingers made contact with the bare skin of Daniel's arm, the uncharacteristic "touchy" gesture causing a flutter in Daniel's stomach and if anything making his sense of disappointment even worse. Jason frowned. "I'd much rather be with you than the runt. Especially after what I found out about him today." "What was that?" Daniel asked, more for something to say than out of any real interest. "Look, I promised him I wouldn't say anything, so you've got to keep this to yourself." Jason leaned forwards across the table and his voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper. "Him and Billy Stanton are playing around together." "What do you mean by playing around?" Daniel had a very good idea what the other boy meant, but his mind refused to accept it without confirmation." "You know. Playing with each other's dicks and stuff." "You've got to be kidding! Did Ben really tell you that?" Jason shrugged. "Well, he didn't actually admit it, but I swear that's what the two of them are doing." "Yeah, sure." Daniel grinned and gave the other boy a sceptical look. He found this news a little hard to believe, though at the same time the thought of Ben and Billy Stanton doing that sort of thing together had caused the strange fluttering feeling to return in his stomach accompanied by definite stirrings in the area of his groin. Quickly he turned his mind to other things and concentrated on his disappointment that Jason would not after all be his partner in the Sexual Development study. That appeared to do the trick. By this time Jason had finished his own drink and not to be outdone, he made a show of crushing his own can. "Want to go up to my room and listen to some music?" he asked, picking up both cans and dropping them into the bin. "Sure, sounds good." In fact, to Daniel, any suggestion that involved spending time with Jason sounded good, especially one that meant they would be sitting together on his friend's bed. He got up and followed the other boy from the room. They climbed the stairs in their stocking-feet; Jason's mum was a stickler for keeping shoes off of her carpets. As they crossed the landing, Jason made a show of walking as silently as he could, and with a mischievous grin on his face he motioned for Daniel to do the same. The reason for this strange behaviour quickly became obvious; to get to Jason's room they first had to pass Ben's, and the younger boy's door was slightly ajar. Soft voices were coming from inside. Jason waved his hand for Daniel to come closer and whispered directly into his friend's ear. "The two little perv's are in there together. Just listen and you'll see I'm right about them." Daniel shook his head and frowned. It didn't seem right spying on the two boys like this. Though the twinges of guilt he was feeling were not enough to overcome his curiousity as he leaned closer to the slightly open door so that he could hear better. At first Daniel found it difficult to make out what was being said, but as he listened and concentrated he became aware that the conversation the two younger boys were having was of course about the visit to the doctor earlier that day. Billy hadn't been selected to take part in the study and so was extremely interested in finding out what had happened and Ben appeared more than willing to satisfy his eager audience. "...ages since I'd seen him without his clothes on. He's got a really hot body, pity he's such a jerk." This was Ben's voice, obviously talking about his older brother. Daniel looked at his friend and grinned, Jason just pulled a face as though he was chewing on something unpleasant. "He got hard pretty quick when the doc played around with his dick. His dick wasn't as big as I thought it would be and I thought he'd have more hair than that, he didn't really have much at all." "Wow, I wish I could have seen it," Billy replied. "I've always thought your brother was pretty hot." Daniel could see Jason's face begin to redden as he listened to these two youngsters making personal comments about his body. Daniel knew his friend was extremely sensitive about the fact that he hadn't developed quite as much as most of the other boys of his age, he was about to suggest that they move into Jason's room and leave the two boys to their conversation when something Ben was saying caught his attention.. "...I thought he was going to cry. Turns out that the skin on his dick won't go back very well and he thought the doctor would make him have it chopped off." "What, his dick? came Billy's amazed voice. "No, you dork, just the skin. The doc was really cool about it and told him it would be ok. I'm really glad because even though he is a total shit head sometimes I wouldn't want him have to have something like that done. Besides his dick looks really cool." Jason's face was flaming. He stood, and tugging on Daniel's arm he nodded furiously towards his own room. Once inside Jason's room, the teenager angrily closed the door and threw himself face down onto his bed. "The little bastard is going to tell everybody," he muttered. Daniel shrugged. "Don't worry about it, it's not such a big deal. Besides, just because he's told Billy doesn't mean he's going to tell anyone else." "Easy for you to say it's not big deal. It's not you that they're talking about." "Yeah, I know." Daniel sat on the edge of the bed, not sure what to say. There were a few minutes of very uncomfortable silence. Daniel was intensely curious about Jason's tight foreskin and wanted to ask about it, but it was obvious from the boy's reaction that this was not a subject he would be willing to discuss. "I guess you're right about the two of them playing around together," Daniel said, eventually, in a effort to at least get his friend talking. "Yeah, the filthy little pervs." Jason rolled onto his back and scowled. "Once they're done talking about me they'll probably spend the rest of tonight playing with each other's dicks. Daniel sighed inwardly and refrained from saying that this was something he wouldn't mind doing himself. Instead he just smiled. "Well, if that's what makes them happy." Jason gave frown. "I wish it was you that was going to be my partner and not the runt. The thought of him telling his pervy little friend everything that happens really turns my stomach." This time Daniel let the sigh go. He was wishing exactly the same thing, if not for the same reasons. If only... Daniel sat impatiently through the morning's lessons, constantly glancing up at the slow moving hands of the clock and only listening with half an ear to what the teachers were saying. The news that Jason would be partnering his brother, Ben, had come as a big disappointment, but Daniel wasn't about to give in so easily. He'd thought of little else since Jason had told him about the situation and now he thought he'd come up with a possible solution to the problem. He hadn't mentioned it to Jason, yet; he wanted to check out whether it was possible first and unfortunately he had to wait until lunch time before he could do that. At long last the sound of the bell indicated the start of the lunch break and Daniel quickly tossed his books into his bag. "There's something I need to do, I'll catch you in the school canteen in a few minutes," he told a surprised Jason, and without waiting for a reply he hurried out of the classroom. A couple of minutes later Daniel was outside the door of Dr. Lomax's converted classroom. As he looked at the closed door, the boy noticed a slight jittery feeling in the pit of his stomach and put this down to memories of his experiences the last time he was inside this room. He lifted his hand to knock, but before he could do so the door opened. Daniel had to quickly step back to avoid a collision as the young doctor came out, jacket in his hand. "Oh, erm, Daniel isn't it? Did you want me for something? I was just on my way out to get some lunch." There had only been the very slightest hesitation before the doctor had managed to but a name to the face. "Yeah," for some reason the youngster felt his face redden and had to fight to untangle the knots in his tongue. "Could I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure, come on inside." The man re-entered the room, holding the door for Daniel to follow. "What can I do for you?" "Dr. Lomax..." "Adam," the man interrupted. "What?" "I'd rather you just called me Adam. the 'Dr.' bit is useful for impressing parents but when it's not necessary I prefer to be less formal." "Oh, ok, Adam." Daniel stopped. He'd gone over and over in his head what he had intended to say but the interruption had thrown him completely. "So, Daniel, what's the problem?" the doctor asked, with a friendly smile as he seated himself on the corner of his desk. Nervously, Daniel explained how he and Jason wanted to partner each other in the study, but Jason was being made to partner Ben. The doctor listened patiently then shook his head. "I'd love to help you Daniel, but if Jason's dad says he has to partner his brother, I can't overrule that." "Oh, I understand that," said Daniel. "But I was wondering whether maybe the three of us could sort of partner each other." This was the basis of the boy's idea and he held his breath as he awaited the reply. The man frowned and looked unhappy. "It's an interesting idea, but it could make things a little bit difficult. I don't really think it would work." Daniel's heart sank into his shoes. He had been sure the doctor would say it would be ok. His disappointment must have been obvious on his face, for the doctor reached out and put his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Don't get upset about it. There must be some other way around this problem. Isn't there someone else who Ben might be willing to partner with?" Daniel shook his head. "None of his friends have been picked to take part in the study." "Hmm, how about if we widen things out a bit. Does he have any close friends who aren't taking part?" "Oh, yeah," said Daniel, nodding a trying to keep the knowing grin off his face. "He's REALLY close friends with a boy called Billy Stanton. But would it be ok for him to have a partner who wasn't taking part?" This time it was the doctor's turn to shake his head. "That is the possible fly in the ointment. The situation at the moment is that several of the boys who were originally selected have dropped out, for various reasons. So, I'll be looking for other boys to replace them. You're job is to convince this Billy Stanton to be one of those boys, do that and it looks like your problem is solved." "You mean I've got to get Billy to volunteer? What chance have I got of getting any boy to volunteer for something like this?" The doctor gave a tight smile. "Sorry, Daniel, but that's the best I can offer you. It wouldn't hurt to give it a go, you never know, he might even say yes. Oh, and if he does say yes I'll need his parents to complete one of these consent forms." He reached into a drawer and pulled out a sheet of paper identical to the one that Daniel's mother had signed. He gave this to the teenager. Daniel accepted the form, though he could already imagine what Billy's reaction would be. "I suppose I can ask," he said, without much hope. "Thanks for your time, anyway, Dr. Lom... I mean, Adam." It was going to take some getting used to, using the doctor's first name. "No problem, Daniel. I hope it works out for you. Give it your best shot and one of those special smiles of yours and he won't be able to say no. Though if he does say no, come back and see me and maybe between us we can think of something else." "Yeah, thanks. I'll see you around," said Adam, smiling shyly as he went through the door. What exactly had the man meant by 'one of his special smiles'? Having left the doctor, Daniel set off in the direction of the school canteen knowing that Jason would be waiting impatiently for him. However, before he was half way there he had another thought; there was no point in telling Jason about this scheme and getting his friend's hopes up then having them dashed again, especially seeing as the chances of this working out appeared to be so slim. Maybe the best thing to do was to strike while the iron was hot so to speak. Jason would have to wait a little bit longer, Daniel decided, he was going to seek out Ben and Billy and get this over with. It took him longer than he expected to find his prey, but eventually Daniel located Ben and Billy sitting side by side on a low wall, talking quietly together. "Hi," said Daniel, sauntering up to them in what he hoped was a casual manner. "Hi," Ben replied, with a smile as he looked the older boy up and down. Daniel could have sworn he saw the youngster's eyes linger on his crotch. "Can I talk to you for a minuet?" the older teen asked. "I guess so," Ben replied with a shrug. "Look, it's about this partnering thing..." Ben's face immediately took on a stubborn expression. "Sorry, Daniel, I know you're Jason's best friend and everything, but I don't know anyone else, and I don't want to do it with anyone I don't know." "What if someone else you knew was taking part?" "Who do you mean?" Daniel briefly flicked his eyes towards Billy then back to Ben. Both the younger boys appeared puzzled and it would be fair to that Billy was also starting to look a bit uncomfortable with the way this conversation was going. "Billy's not taking part," said Ben, matter of factly. "No," said Daniel, "but he could be. Dr. Lomax is looking for some more boys to replace the ones who have dropped out." In front of Daniel's eyes, the colour drained from Billy's face. "No fucking Way!" exclaimed the twelve year old, jumping to his feet and backing away. "There's no way I'm taking part in that thing. I know my mum, she will insist on being there for this first appointment and there is no way I'm getting naked with her watching. And that's apart from all the stuff that I'd probably have to do later on. No fucking way!" he repeated. This was pretty much the response that Daniel had expected. It was disappointing, but at least he'd tried. "Oh well, I just thought I'd ask." He turned miserably away, intending to go find Jason who he knew would be doing a war dance by now. "Hang on a sec, Daniel." This was Ben's voice. It seemed that at least one of the boys hadn't dismissed the idea out of hand. Jason's little brother got down over to the wall and went over to Billy. There followed a whispered but rather animated conversation between the two twelve year olds. Daniel couldn't hear what they were saying but it was obvious that Ben was trying to talk his friend into accepting the suggestion and Billy was having none of it. This went on for several minutes. Eventually, Ben turned to Daniel with a grin on his face, though the older boy noted that Billy still did not look too happy. "If we do this for you, then you're gonna have to do something for us in return," said Ben, looking at Daniel and his smile taking on a sly twist. "What's that?" Daniel asked, warily. He felt a strange mixture of relief and worry. At least now it appeared that there was a chance that things could be worked out. "Well," Ben began, sidling up to the older boy, perhaps a little nervously. "Like Billy said, his mum will insist on being there when he goes to see the doctor that first time and it's gonna really embarrassing for him. So we want something back. We've decided that for every time Billy sees the doctor, you have to come see us afterwards, and everything the doctor does to Billy, we get to do to you." Daniel actually laughed, the suggestion was so ludicrous. "You're kidding, right?" "Nope, either you agree to that or I stay as Jason's partner. It's up to you." This had to be some sort of joke. Daniel realised he was shaking his head. Were these two kids really saying they wanted him to strip off for them so they could touch his dick and stuff like the doctor did? He thought back to what the doctor had done to him at his first appointment. Apart from the man feeling his dick and balls, there hadn't really been much else. Maybe, considering what he was going to get out of it, letting Ben and Billy do that to him wouldn't be so bad. The problem was, he had no idea what future sessions would involve. If he said yes he didn't know what he might be agreeing to. "I'll tell you what," he said. "I'll agree, but only for the first session, not later ones." Ben frowned and returned to Billy for another quick whispered conversation. He turned back again. "Make it the first three sessions and you got a deal." "First two," Daniel replied, quickly, trying to limit the damage. Maybe the second session would involve nothing but talking or something, that way the joke would be on the two younger boys. "Done," Ben agreed, a wide grin on his face, his eyes once more going down to Daniel's crotch, this time quite obviously. "This is gonna be fun." "For you, maybe," Billy muttered. "You're not the one who's going to be standing around naked in front of your mother." "Been there, done that," said Daniel through a tight-lipped smile as he handed the younger boy the consent form for his parents to sign. "Just one more thing. Do you think you could sort of not mention our arrangement to Jason?" "Don't worry," laughed Ben, "it can be our secret." With a nod and feeling like he was walking on air, Daniel left the youngsters and went to find Jason. He'd decided that letting the two twelve year olds have a feel of his cock was a small price to pay if he got the chance to spend some time with Jason naked. If his luck were in, maybe he might even get the chance to see his friend with a boner. Just the thought of this caused his own dick to start hardening and he quickly put his hands into his pockets to try to disguise the all to obvious growing bulge in the front of his trousers. "Where the hell have you been?" Jason snarled a few minutes later, as Daniel approached him at the door to the school canteen. "I've been waiting here forever." "Yeah, sorry," replied Daniel in what he hoped was a suitably contrite manner. Then he could hold his grin back no longer. "Guess what? I've got the best news in the world. We can be partners in the study after all." "What about Ben?" Jason asked sceptically. "Sorted." "How?" "He's partnering Billy." "But Billy's not taking part." "He is now," Daniel laughed. "So was that worth having to wait a few minutes for?" Jason still looked a little unsure. "Is this on the level?" Then seeing his friend's nod of confirmation his own face split in a grin. "That's brilliant! I still wish I wasn't doing it at all, but if I have to do it I'd much rather do it with you than with the runt. How did you manage it?" "Best not to ask," said Daniel. He put his arm around his best friend's shoulders and the two of them went to find something to eat. End of Chapter 4 Feedback is encouraged and always much appreciated.
