As an ensemble story, it can occasionally be hard to keep track of
characters, so below is a brief summary to help remind you who they are.

Daniel `Danny' Davies – 11 – Year 7 – Dorm 1.01 - Danny is a
lively boy who is just in the early days of finding himself and learning
about his own fetishes and interests. (locked in chastity)

Christopher `Chris' Smith – 12 – Year 7 – Dorm 1.01 – Chris is
a loving, affectionate Irish boy with a large family. Having recently
stayed at Kingswood over the half-term break, his homesickness is growing,
but he has just started dating Kyle, who went away for a week on vacation.
(unlocked)

Nicholas `Nicky' Jones – 12 – Year 7 – Dorm 1.01 – Nicky was an
early bloomer, already taller and more developed than anyone in his
year. Started a relationship at the start of the year with his mentor,
Will, who remains undeveloped and locked in chastity because of
it. (unlocked)

volatile, often angry boy who has only just started to make friends with
Danny, but still remains largely isolated. (locked in chastity)

Chris. Stayed at the school over the October half-term break and started
dating Chris. (unlocked)

Jesse Wheeler – 17 – Year 13 – Dorm 3.32 – Jesse is a friendly
boy and somewhat of a gentle giant who Danny met during one of his
gym-based humiliations. Although he happily took part in embarrassing
Danny, he also offered some genuinely helpful workout advice too.

Tales from Kingswood --------------------

Chapter 17 ----------

Friday 8 November 2019

Danny turned his alarm off and rolled to the side, his arm draping across
Chris' bare chest. He playfully slid his fingers across a nipple, getting a
groan that was pleasure and frustration in equal measure.

Chris squirmed a little but knew there was truly little he could do so stop
Danny if he chose to continue teasing. For some reason that eluded him in
that moment, Chris had agreed to Danny's plan not to let him cum, saving up
his excitement and horniness for Kyle's return from vacation. At the time
it had seemed like a fun idea, but already horny from his Halloween
near-nudity and on-stage erection, frustration had quickly become the theme
of the week.

Danny had taken great pleasure in turning Chris on at every possible
opportunity, just to make it even more challenging. The first night Danny
had awoken to find Chris touching himself in his sleep, that was quickly
remedied with his school tie, leaving the horny boy sleeping restrained for
the remainder of the week. That was how he found himself now, his hands
raised above his head and secured to a corner of the bunk as Danny caressed
him.

"How glad are you that Kyle's back today?" Danny whispered.

"Do I actually need to answer that?" Chris asked, pulling the covers down
with his feet to reveal bulging underwear with an obvious wet patch.

Danny just chuckled, then leaned down to lick Chris' nipple momentarily
before saying, "Let's get up or we'll be late!"

It seemed strange that the two boys could be late, being up two hours
earlier than the rest of the dorm, but they both had someone waiting over
at the Sports Complex. Chris had Mr Beecham, ready to continue his extra
swimming coaching, while Danny had Jesse, the Year 13 boy who had agreed to
act as his supervisor while he used the gym in the mornings.

Within a few minutes, Chris was untied and the two boys were making their
way across the school grounds to the Sports Complex, Danny already in his
gym gear while Chris just wore sweatpants and a hoodie over his school
speedo.

"See ya soon, don't get too many boners," Danny teased as he peeled off
from Chris to head into the gym while Chris continued on to the pool.

Chris just sniggered and rolled his eyes. He knew he likely would get an
erection or two, but thankfully it wasn't quite as embarrassing as it could
be. Mr Beecham had seen it all before (and more, during the half-term they
had spent together) and while they were very much back to a purely
teacher/student relationship, their experiences had certainly given them a
much closer bond.

Danny headed into the gym and found Jesse already in there, casually doing
bicep curls with a weight Danny could barely even lift off the
ground. "Morning," he said cheerfully as he approached.

"Nice of you to join me, part-timer!" Jesse teased.

"Sorry, it's this sleeping thing," Danny replied sarcastically. "I'm trying
to kick the habit, but every night, I just can't help myself!"

"Funny," Jesse said flatly. "Now put that cute butt to work and get your
warm-up done, like I showed you!"

Danny giggled and started doing the stretches Jesse had shown him earlier
in the week. This was their fourth morning together, with the older student
insisting Danny take a day off on Wednesday to rest, but Danny was already
growing exceptionally fond of Jesse. On first glance, between the huge
frame, intensely dark eyes and heavy brow he could look outright
intimidating and when he really got into `trainer mode' he was even moreso,
as Danny had found out, but in general he had actually turned out to be
quite sweet, gentle and a little bit nerdy.

What had initially been a physical attraction the first day Danny had seen
the super-stud working out had quickly become something quite
different. Danny had found himself thinking of the guys at Kingswood as his
family. While Chris, Kyle and maybe even Mikey were akin to his brothers
and the other boys of the dorm really close cousins, his mentor Joseph was
a kind of cool Stepdad while Mr Trent was the wise grandfather. Danny had
wondered how Jesse fit into that twisted little family tree and had ended
up thinking of him like an Uncle, the kind who could always make you laugh
and tease mercilessly, while still looking out for you and having your
back.

"I don't remember the `standing round staring like an idiot' pose being
part of your warm-up!" Jesse called out, shaking Danny from his thoughts
and making him both blush and giggle at the same time.

"Sorry Sir!" Danny called out playfully, quickly getting on with what he
was supposed to be doing.

They had been working out for about half an hour with Jesse stopping
occasionally to start Danny on something else or correct his form. He
finished a set and turned to check on Danny again and found him standing by
one of the mirrored walls, t-shirt lifted a little, flexing.

"Ahem," Jesse coughed, getting the boy's attention.

Danny dropped the front of his t-shirt and giggled as he blushed. "Just
checking," he said awkwardly.

"I suppose you ARE used to seeing a bit more of yourself when you're in
here!" Jesse said with a snigger. A couple of times he had seen the boy end
up working out either partially or fully naked, usually under the
instruction of his mentor, Joseph.

Danny's blushing intensified. He genuinely had just been looking for any
signs of progress, rather than aiming to expose himself at all, but now the
thought was in his head.

"Hey, if that's how you like to work out, I'm not gonna judge you," Jesse
said honestly.

"I don't know," Danny said, eyes lowering to the ground, not really sure
what else to actually say. It was a strange thought. His previous
humiliations had always been either at Joseph's command or the result of
some kind of prank. He had never really thought to put himself in one of
those situations willingly. "I got another set to do," he said, quickly
changing the subject.

Jesse smiled and returned to his weights, saying no more about it. After
going for a while longer, he called Danny over to do some floor work,
pushing him through various sets of push-ups, sit-ups and other exercises.

"Come on, five more seconds," Jesse urged the boy as he lay out doing a
plank.

Danny let out a moan and collapsed to the mat, a few seconds short.

"Wow, you suck!" Jesse taunted him.

"Bite me!" Danny moaned, laying lifeless on the ground.

Jesse's eyes narrowed. "Actually, I've got a better idea. Take a quick rest
then we'll carry on," he instructed, heading over to grab some water while
Danny remained where he was.

"Aren't we done yet?" Danny complained.

Jesse swallowed a big gulp then replied, "Did I say we're done yet?" He
just got a disgruntled growl in response.

A couple of minutes later, Jesse had the younger boy flat on his back,
kneeling at his feet and holding them in place while he did sit-ups.

Danny finished the last one he had been instructed to do and flopped back
onto the ground, exhausted. "When did it stop being a workout and turn into
attempted murder?" he grumbled.

"Every time you complain, I'll just make you do more!" Jesse threatened
him.

Danny suddenly found himself reminded of Joseph. That was one of his
rules. Complaining earned punishment. It was brutal but fair and it
certainly helped Danny keep his mouth shut when he needed to. He took the
same approach now, keeping his frustration to himself.

"Okay, gimme twelve more!" Jesse demanded.

Danny went to complain, but as he opened his mouth he saw Jesse's eyebrows
raise, so he just took a deep breath and sat up again. It was definitely a
strain and by number six he felt like he couldn't go on. "Nope, I'm done!"
he conceded, lying flat on his back, arms above his head, eyes closed.

"Quitting will be punished," Jesse said cautiously.

Danny opened one eye and looked Jesse up and down. "Pfft, you haven't got
the guts!" he taunted.

"Try me!" Jesse said bluntly. "Six to go!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, Danny trying to figure out just
how serious Jesse was. With a muted moan, he sat up again, then rolled his
body back down again for the next one, his stomach aching.

"Nine," Jesse counted as he did another. "Come on, you've got it!" he urged
him. "Ten. Nearly there!"

"Ugh," Danny grunted, sitting halfway up before flopping back down. "That's
a half, right?"

"You wish. Come on, just two to go!" Jesse continued to push.

Danny tried again but didn't even get as high as the previous attempt
before flopping back, defeated.

"Okay, well I warned ya!" Jesse said, shaking his head. He stood up,
grabbed the bottom of Danny's t-shirt and pulled it up over his body and
off completely.

Danny flopped back down, his bare back on the mat as he looked up at Jesse
in dismay. "You're mean!" he scowled.

"Oh," Jesse said, suddenly looking a little hurt. "I was... I thought..."
he stuttered, holding out the t-shirt to return it.

Danny chuckled and grinned wickedly. "I like mean Jesse! Mean Jesse is
fun!" he said, shaking his head at the t-shirt.

"You're such a little freak," Jesse laughed. "But fine, I'm keeping it!"

"If there's any more today, you may as well take these now," Danny said,
grabbing at his shorts. "I'm wiped!"

Jesse shook his head. "Nah, I wanna push you, not break you! But good to
know I've got a way to... encourage you in the future!" he said, tucking
the t-shirt into the waistband of his shorts.

Danny pushed himself up and staggered to his feet. He gave a casual shrug
and said, "It's not that big a deal taking my clothes off in here. You've
seen it all before!" He couldn't help adding in his mind, `The whole school
has seen it all,' but kept it to himself.

"True," Jesse said with a nod, then smiled and said, "But that walk through
the Home Building's gonna be fun!"

"Wait, so you're... actually keeping it?" Danny asked, glancing at his
t-shirt at the older student's hip. He had expected to just have it removed
in the gym and to get it back when they were done. This certainly changed
things.

"Yup, so remember that next time, unless you wanna be traipsing back to
your dorm in just your little chastity belt!" Jesse teased. He still felt a
little mean, but Danny seemed to enjoy it, so he was willing to play along.

"You wouldn't dare!" Danny said, somewhere between shocked and hopeful.

"Oh wouldn't I?" Jesse asked with a smirk. "Okay, twelve more!"

Danny trembled, though it was as likely from exhaustion as it was from
excitement as he began doing more sit-ups. As he reached six, he collapsed
back onto the mat again.

"Done?" Jesse asked. As Danny nodded, he asked, "You sure?"

Danny bit his lip as he looked up at Jesse playfully and nodded.

"Okay, I warned ya," Jesse said. He reached down and grabbed Danny's
shorts, then yanked them down and all the way off. "Okay then. Off ya go!"

Danny climbed to his feet, standing there in nothing but his chastity
device and trainers. He stared at his clothes held tightly in Jesse's
grip. If he asked for them back, he knew the older boy would return them
but he felt like he had earned this... or was it that he just straight-up
wanted it? He wasn't sure, but his cock throbbed in the confines of his
device. "I guess I'll... erm... see you next time," Danny said awkwardly,
part of him still hoping Jesse might stop him as he approached the door.

"Yeah, see ya," Jesse said casually, already returning to his own workout.

Danny stepped out into the hallway. He considered waiting for Chris, though
that would mean lingering there for a while and potentially being seen by
more people, including Mr Beecham who normally left with Chris after their
sessions, so he decided to just get the brief walk home over with.

He walked quickly to the door and looked outside. The Sun was only just
coming up, but it was enough to make the route back, and the near-naked boy
following it very much visible, though Danny was lucky and nobody appeared
to be walking in either direction as he quickly jogged along.

Unfortunately, his luck ran out as he reached the Home Building. With the
Dining Hall opened for breakfast a few minutes earlier, there was already a
steady flow of boys coming down the stairs. As he headed up, he was greeted
by a near-constant stream of cheers and comments as well as a few slaps to
his bare butt as he passed the opposite direction to all of the
others. Fortunately, with dorm 1.01 so close to the top of the stairs, his
humiliation was brief.

The few boys still in the dorm when he arrived stopped talking mid-sentence
and stared round before bursting into laughter.

*****

Kyle was happy to see Danny waiting for him when he got back to the school,
but a little surprised Chris wasn't with him. He had expected both of them
to be at their usual Friday evening Drama Club, meaning he wouldn't really
get to see anyone except the other boys in his dorm that evening. While he
was gradually getting to know the other boys in 1.04, Danny, Chris and the
other dorm 1.01 boys were undeniably more his friends, so it was nice to be
able to see any of them upon his return.

Danny had eagerly greeted him, offered to help him with his bags and, as
soon as Kyle's parents had driven away, happily declared he had a surprise
waiting for him. They had taken Kyle's bags to his dorm, saying a quick
hello to Ben, the only other boy in 1.04 Danny didn't think was a bit of a
tosser before heading along to the private study rooms.

"What is it?" Kyle asked nervously. He was not the biggest fan of surprises
and had it been anyone else, he would have likely been reluctant to open
the door to the room, but he trusted Danny completely. As the door swung
open, he stood staring in open-mouthed delight at the sight of Chris,
completely naked, bound to a chair by his ankles, wrists and waist,
blindfolded.

"Danny, is that you?" Chris asked nervously at the sound of the opening
door.

"Oh my God!" Kyle exclaimed, chuckling at his nude boyfriend.

"Kyle!" Chris said, the look of worry turning into a huge grin as he heard
his boyfriend's voice.

Danny urged Kyle inside and shut the door behind them.

"How was your holiday?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, cos that's what we're gonna talk about first," Kyle said
sarcastically. He looked to Danny and asked, "So what's all this?"

Danny hopped onto the small sofa and said, "Okay, short version, at
Halloween we got almost naked in front of the whole school, got on stage,
got a boner and Chris ended up pretty horny."

"I... erm... what?" Kyle asked, shaking his head in amused disbelief.

Danny went on, "And rather than cumming, we decided..."

"You decided, I just didn't disagree!" Chris corrected his friend.

Danny sniggered and said, "Fine, I decided he should NOT cum, he should
wait until you got back so you could really have some fun!"

Kyle looked a little shellshocked. "That's... wow, I'm deffo gonna need the
deets on that Halloween thing, but... he really hasn't cum since then?"

Chris squirmed a little. His cock was already rigid from the prolonged
abstinence and even more-so from being tied up and blindfolded by
Danny. Having the other two talk about him like he wasn't there was making
him feel strange, new sensations too.

"Nope, just lots of teasing but no cumming," Danny said, proud to have
gotten Chris through the week without blowing. "He hated every
second... and loved every second. It was pretty funny!"

"Shame I missed it," Kyle said, an idea forming in his head. "I think it's
time for someone to cum!"

"Yusss!" Chris said happily, fists clenching.

"Oh," Kyle said, moving closer to his boyfriend and yanking off the
blindfold. He grabbed a handful of Chris' hair and kissed him passionately,
but as he let go, quietly whispered, "Sorry, did that hurt?"

Chris chuckled and shook his head.

"I didn't mean you!" Kyle said, letting his hands slide down Chris' body
towards his rigid cock then pulled away just before contact. "I meant me!"

"Well my hands are tied, so, I guess..." Chris said, pausing and opening
his mouth wide, the implication obvious.

"Great idea," Kyle said with a nod, then turned to Danny who was watching
the two boyfriends excitedly. "Danny, wanna help me out?" he asked.

"Sure!" Danny said, almost bouncing in his seat.

"What, no. Come on!" Chris pleaded. His pleas were ignored as he sat
watching Kyle join Danny on the sofa, eagerly unzipping his jeans as Danny
pushed them down. "This isn't how it was supposed to go. You're supposed to
make ME cum!" he whined.

"Shh!" Kyle hissed at the restrained boy. He felt a little bad, but Chris'
arousal was obvious down below, even if his face didn't reflect it.

Chris let out a frustrated groan, pulling gently against his restraints. It
was a confusing dichotomy of feelings. He wanted so desperately to cum but
at the same time, not being allowed was turning him on more. He wanted Kyle
and Danny's attention, but being basically ignored by them was making him
strangely excited. He wanted his boyfriend all to himself, yet seeing him
with another boy stirred something within him. His current situation had
been intended to torture him, but he couldn't help wondering if either of
the other boys had any clue just how much he was actually enjoying it.

Danny had shifted to the floor in front of Kyle, kneeling between his
legs. He had worked the other boy's jeans and underwear down to his ankles,
which meant his feet were kept close together, so he had spread Kyle's
knees apart instead to give him easier access to the rigid dick and smooth
sac. It felt strange as he leaned in, lapping playfully at the smooth
scrotum. As much as this was about pleasuring Kyle, something he very much
enjoyed, he knew Kyle was using him to tease and turn on Chris. He never
considered complaining about it though. Sucking a cock, especially the cock
of someone he cared about so much, was always a joy. Knowing it was turning
Chris on brought him just as much pleasure.

Kyle let out a happy moan as Danny's tongue worked on his balls before
moving onto his cock. He wanted so much to look over at Chris and see how
much his boyfriend was loving/hating being denied his orgasm, but teasing
him like this was unexpectedly fun. Kyle was not a mean boy, quite the
opposite, he went out of his way to be nice to people but finding Chris had
already endured a cum-free week gave him an undeniable surge of excitement
and he was keen to prolong the feeling. He found himself enjoying the oral
attention for another reason too. It had been on holiday that he realised
what had happened the previous week – Danny had made him cum. Up until
then, Chris was the only boy aside from himself to ever achieve that. He
had kicked himself for not realising it at the time and had been keen to
try it out again and based on the rock-hard state of his dick currently in
Danny's mouth, this could easily be considered a successful test.

"Ah, this is so good," Kyle moaned, intentionally teasing Chris. "I think I
might cum soon!"

"Yeah, do it," Chris urged, almost panting as he watched the two boys
together.

"Bit keen, isn't he!" Danny said, momentarily pulling Kyle's penis from his
mouth and looking up at him.

"Yeah, maybe he'd like a closer look!" Kyle said, grinning at Danny.

"Good plan," Danny agreed, standing up.

As Kyle stood, he pulled his trainers off with his feet then stepped out of
his jeans and underwear, then approached Chris, standing right in front of
him clad in just his t-shirt and socks. Danny moved behind him and let his
arms wrap around the other boy, one over his chest, the other sliding up
inside his t-shirt to caress his stomach as he peered over Kyle's shoulder
at Chris.

"Oh God," Chris mumbled shakily, his eyes frantically darting from Kyle's
face, to Danny's, to the hand on Kyle's stomach, to the eye-level erection
in front of him and back again. His own boner looked almost painfully hard,
the tip wet, a shiny trail down the shaft where a dribble of precum had
trickled.

"I think he likes what he sees," Kyle said softly.

"Let's show him a bit more," Danny sniggered, grabbing Kyle's t-shirt. He
lifted it up and removed it, tossing it aside and leaving the boy standing
naked aside from his socks in front of his restrained boyfriend.

"I think... it needs to get sucked again," Kyle teased, moving a little
closer to Chris.

"Uh huh!" Chris eagerly agreed, nodding as he leaned forward as far as he
could, but no matter how much he pulled, Kyle's dick remained inches away
from his slightly parted lips. He let out another frustrated moan.

"Sorry bud, I think he meant me!" Danny said with a grin as he turned Kyle
slightly to the side and took the rigid meat back into his mouth, staying
as close as they could get to Chris without actually touching him.

"Oh come ooooooon!" Chris whined, struggling and bouncing in his seat to
try and get close enough to join in.

"Ah, oh yeah," Kyle moaned, clearly hamming it up for torturous
effect. "Oh, I think... I'm gonna..."

Danny pulled away, hating the idea of missing out on swallowing, but struck
by an even better idea. He stood and turned Kyle to face Chris again then
gave his cock a few quick strokes to push him over the edge. As Kyle leaned
back heavily against him, enjoying the feeling of the other boy's body
against his own, Danny pointed the spasming cock at Chris' body, spraying
his bare torso with Kyle's seed.

It was almost enough to push Chris over the edge too, seeing his best
friend pleasuring his boyfriend, Danny's hand aiming Kyle's cock as it
spurted, the orgasming boy moaning ecstatically. Chris' cock dribbled more
pre-cum in response.

Kyle stood catching his breath. While having Chris so fraught was amusing,
he was a little too caught up in feeling Danny wrapped around him to really
take it in. He grabbed onto Danny's hands, holding them tightly against his
own chest and stomach, tilted his head back and nuzzled it against him.

After a few serene moments, Danny planted a playful kiss on Kyle's neck and
let go of him. "Guessing you'll be sorting him out now," he said, gesturing
to Chris with a smirk.

"Actually," Kyle said, moving away to grab his underwear. "I'm thinking
maybe not quite yet," he said, as he pulled on the boxers and sat down
casually on the sofa.

"Oh?" Danny asked, intrigued, suppressing a grin at the dejected moan he
heard from Chris.

"Well it sounds like you had a lot of fun this week not letting him cum,"
Kyle explained, nodding. "I kinda feel like I missed out, so I want a
turn!"

"No!" Chris whined.

"Wait, really?" Danny asked, a huge grin spreading across his face as he
caught on.

Kyle nodded. "Yeah, I think he can go another week, ya know, just for me!"

"You can't be serious. My balls are ready to drop off already!" Chris
complained.

"Okay, this sounds like a private conversation," Danny said, wanting to
give the couple some space. "Lemme know later what you decide. You know
you'll have my FULL support!"

"You're a dick!" Chris shouted after Danny as he left the room.

Danny was still chuckling quietly to himself as he got out into the main
corridor, overlooking the entrance foyer. As he peered down, he heard a
very familiar voice shouting, "Just piss off then!" He let out a sigh as he
saw Mikey storming away from Josh, Rob and Nicky towards the main doors. He
started making his way down the stairs and had just got to the bottom as
the other three boys were starting to make their way up, getting a quick
casual greeting from them.

"What was that about?" Danny sighed as he nodded in the direction Mikey had
stormed off.

Rob looked to Josh and shrugged. "I dunno. You... kind of!"

"What did I do now?" Danny asked. He hadn't really spoken to Mikey since
they sat together in French class earlier in the afternoon and everything
had been fine then.

"Not like that," Nicky said, shaking his head as they all moved aside to
avoid blocking the stairway. "We were talking about your birthdays and he
just kinda flipped out!"

"Which is SO unlike him!" Josh said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

Danny could understand their frustration, Mikey was undoubtedly a
challenge, but it was one he was determined not to give up on, even if the
rest of the dorm didn't seem interested in getting through to him. "I'm
gonna go find him," Danny said, looking towards the door.

"Rather you than me," Rob said, shaking his head.

Danny wandered towards the door and stepped outside, slowly making his way
down the front steps as he looked around for any sign of the tempestuous
boy. "Oh, hey guys," he said casually as he spotted James and David
approaching with a couple of other boys from 1.02, returning from Swimming
Club.

"If you're looking for Mikey, he went that way," James said, gesturing
behind them to the gardens.

"But he looked... not happy," David said, trying to find the most tactful
way to put it.

"Yeah, I know," Danny said with a sigh. "Catch you guys later," he said to
his two dormmates, giving a polite smile to the other boys with them. He
hurried along towards the ornamental gardens. While there was still plenty
of time before lights-out, he knew sometimes it could take a while for
Mikey to calm down and he wanted to avoid either of them being late back to
the dorm.

Mikey wasn't hard to find, partly because he hadn't actually gone too far
into the gardens, but also because Danny could hear him talking. He
considered just leaving it. If he already had someone to talk to, he didn't
really need Danny butting in, but he still wandered on anyway, just to be
sure.

"Yeah, I know!" Mikey said sharply. A few moments later he added an angry,
"I know that too, I'm not stupid!"

Danny frowned, not hearing anyone else, but quickly realised he was likely
just on his phone. Whoever he was talking to, it sounded like they were
making him more agitated rather than less and as much as he wanted to help,
interrupting now was likely to just exacerbate the situation further.

Just as he was turning to head back to the school, he heard, "Danny?"

"Oh, hi," Danny said awkwardly, turning back.

"Were you... spying on me?" Mikey shouted angrily.

"No!" Danny insisted, quickly following the path round to him. "I saw you
come out and you looked annoyed, so I wanted to make sure you were okay,"
he explained honestly.

"Well I'm fine, so you can... piss off!" Mikey said with an angry scowl. As
Danny looked back at him, he actually seemed to calm a little before he
said, "You're gonna flick me again, aren't you?"

"Well I only do that when you're acting like a dick, so... do I need to?"
Danny asked.

Mikey huffed and turned his ear towards Danny.

"Huh," Danny chuckled. Mikey was clearly making progress, at least as far
as Danny could see. He remained acutely aware that Mikey's issues, much
like Chris' ongoing night terrors, were something an adult should probably
be dealing with, but considering he seemed to have literally the most
stubborn friends in the world, all he could do for now was try his best to
support them any way he could. "Yeah, let's try something else!" he
suggested.

"What?" Mikey asked, surprised not to be facing a sudden jolt of
pain. Instead, Danny grabbed him in a playful hug. "No, don't!" he
insisted, shoving Danny away.

"Sorry, I just thought being nice might... make a change," Danny said
apologetically. He knew Mikey was not really a fan of physical affection
and was already cursing himself, hoping he hadn't set their progress
together back at all.

"No, it's not... I just... I don't... deserve that... not... not from you!"
Mikey stuttered, struggling to find the words.

"Okay, I'm gonna need more info here," Danny urged the moody boy. "All I
got from the others was that you were talking about our birthdays!" Danny's
birthday was coming up the following Friday, while Mikey's was two days
later, on Sunday.

Mikey huffed and shook his head. "It's so stupid. You'll think I'm
crazy... or a dick!"

Danny leaned to the side and nudged Mikey. "Aww, don't be daft... I already
think you're both those things, but I like you anyway!"

Mikey looked genuinely confused whether he should thank or punch Danny,
getting a laugh in response to his confused expression. He sighed and
explained, "Okay, so you know Mr Trent wanted to know from us what we
wanted to do for our birthdays." He got a nod from Danny and went on. "Well
the guys were trying to convince me we should have a joint celebration."

Danny was waiting for the part that had annoyed him, but then realised that
was it. He gave a massively over-exaggerated gasp and declared, "Oh my
God. Those monsters. How could they!" He pretended to swoon.

"It's not funny!" Mikey snapped angrily.

Danny smirked as he replied, "It's a little bit funny!" He could see Mikey
was serious, so he wiped the smile from his face and said, "Okay, sorry,
but you're gonna need to gimme more. I'm not getting the issue here."

Mikey's shoulders slumped as he stared down into his lap where his hands
were fidgeting. "Doesn't matter. It's just... me being stupid again!"

"Come on," Danny said, nudging his arm gently. "It's me. You can tell me
anything!"

Mikey glanced off to the other side for a moment, then back to Danny and
said, "Well maybe not ANYTHING!" Before Danny could enquire what he meant,
he said, "I just finally had the chance to do something for my birthday and
I wanted it to be MY day, that's all."

"You don't... celebrate them at home?" Danny asked, then felt a wave of
sorrow at the thought of it. His own birthdays had been some of his best
days ever.

"Ha!" Mikey yelped, shaking his head, face screwing up angrily. "You know,
one of my earliest memories was my fifth birthday. There was no party, no
cake, no celebration but I remember hearing my Mum talking to my Dad about
it. You know what she said?" Danny shook his head. "She said, `Why should
he get a party? We're not gonna celebrate the day our lives got fucked
over!' She actually said that, to my Dad, about me... about the day I was
born! They wish I didn't even exist!"

It felt like Danny had been punched in the stomach. It was hard enough to
hear about someone else, he couldn't even imagine how it must have felt to
Mikey. "That's... horrible!" he stuttered. "Are... are you sure..."

"DON'T!" Mikey snapped. "I didn't hear it wrong. I didn't misunderstand
it. That bitch said it and she meant it! That's just... how things are with
them!"

"Okay, okay, okay, sorry, I believe you," Danny said, raising his hands
defensively. "That's... that's not something anybody should ever have to
hear. I'm sorry." He took a breath and added, "Well... I don't know if it
helps, but I'm glad you exist!"

Mikey just shrugged and shook his head, sniffing a little. "You're just
saying that cos you feel sorry for me!"

Danny nodded and shrugged. "Yeah I am," he agreed, then a grin spread
across his face. "Doesn't mean it's not true though!"

Mikey actually cracked a momentary smile before continuing his unhappy
silence. After a few moments, Mikey turned to the other boy and said
softly, "Danny?"

"Yeah," Danny replied.

"Can I have that hug now?" Mikey requested with another sniff.

Danny turned to the side and held Mikey tightly.

*****

It was almost an hour after lights out. Usually, even with any lingering
conversations, silly games or other quiet shenanigans at least a few of
them would be asleep by then, if not all of them. Tonight though, the whole
dorm remained wide awake, all thanks to Rob.

"Oh my God!" James complained from his bunk. "We can't keep having the same
conversation!"

"We're not having the same conversation, we're... brainstorming!" Rob
insisted. "We can figure this out!" Ever since they had all been pranked on
the first day back after half-term, Rob had been determined to find out who
it was that had set them up.

"Rob, let it go. It's been like two weeks already!" Chris insisted. While
all of the boys were irritable, Chris was especially so. After expecting to
finally cum after a week of waiting, Kyle had decided he would wait another
week and, as such, he lay in his usual position in Danny's bunk, with his
hands secured to the top of the bed to stop his touching himself during the
night.

"He's right," Danny added, discreetly rubbing his hand up and down Chris'
body to maintain his frustrating arousal. "Nothing else has
happened. Nobody's taken credit or rubbed it in our faces. Just accept that
whoever it was, they got the better of us and move on!"

"No!" Rob snapped. "We can't let something like that slide without
retaliation. We'll look weak and all it'll do is make us look like easy
targets!"

"I just wanna forget the whole thing ever happened!" Nicky said
quietly. While the prank had been embarrassing for all of the boys, Nicky
had definitely suffered the most. Aside from being one of the only two
unlocked boys, meaning his nudity was complete, his abundant
self-consciousness just made the entire thing more humiliating.

"I dunno, I'm kinda with Rob on this," Mikey chimed in.

"Thank you!" Rob said exasperatedly, struggling to comprehend how the
others could be okay with dropping it.

"I wanna find out who it was and kick their asses!" Mikey said, sounding
almost happy about the prospect.

"Don't encourage him!" James huffed.

"Too late, he's already gone full Ahab!" Chris sniggered. Getting some
confused sounds back he sighed and said, "Seriously, am I the only one who
reads?"

"I got the reference," Rob commented, "And screw you!" he added with a
slight chuckle. He turned to the boy in the bunk beside him and said, "Come
on Josh, back me up. You're with me, right?"

"Yeah," Josh agreed.

There was a sudden chorus of comment. "Big surprise!" "There's a shock!"
"Josh and Rob, sitting in a tree..."

"Take the piss all you like, but how often is Rob actually wrong... you
know... about anything... ever?" Josh asked, silencing the group with his
logic. "It's pissing annoying to be honest!"

"Well that was ALMOST nice," Rob said, shaking his head.

Danny sat up, letting his hand rest on Chris' straining cock. "Okay, yeah,
so Rob's usually right, I'll give you that, but even if you're right this
time, Rob, what now?" He stared down at the other boy; the room lit by the
nearly full moon shining in through the top windows.

Rob just stared back blankly, then shrugged.

"Exactly. I mean, you gonna interrogate the whole school? Maybe hook up a
lie detector. Got any veritaserum knocking about?" Danny asked,
deliberately adding the third one to make it clear he wasn't being overly
serious.

"Woo, literary reference for the win!" Chris declared happily. "High five!"
He wiggled his restrained hand a little.

Danny sniggered and lay back down beside him, giving him the high-five
before pulling the covers back over them both.

Rob huffed. "Fine, I don't actually have a plan as such, but... I... can
make one... probably!" The question had completely deflated him. He had
worked so hard on just convincing the others to get on board that it had
allowed him to overlook the fact he had no leads at all. "But I've got a
definite list of possible suspects!" he insisted.

"Mate, you know I'm on your side, but writing, `It was definitely Alex' on
a piece of paper is not a list of suspects!" Josh said with a snigger.

Rob scowled at his best friend, getting a tongue-poke in response. "I've
got more than that!" he said, pouting.

"I still reckon it was someone in 1.04!" Mikey suggested. "I mean, they're
all dicks!"

"So are you, does that mean we have to suspect you?" James asked with a
wicked chuckle.

"Screw you, titface!" Mikey snapped back.

The insult triggered a minor argument between the two boys, insults quickly
being tossed back and forth while Nicky and Josh tried to calm the
situation.

"They need to shut up so I can sleep," Chris whispered with a slight moan
as Danny's hands continued to roam his body. "If I have to lay here with
you doing this much longer, I'm gonna lose my freakin' mind!"

"Hey, relax, only seven days to go!" Danny teased, then slipped his head
under the covers and licked Chris' nipple. It was only the argument going
on around them that stopped the whole dorm hearing Chris' happy moan.

"Pleeeease, can't you let me cum?" Chris begged. "Then I'll wait a week to
do it again for Kyle, but I gotta do it now. Pleeeeease Danny!"

"Okay, well first of all, hearing you beg like that is... doing all kinds
of things to me," Danny said, feeling unexpectedly aroused by it. During
the previous week, Chris had complained a lot but not resorted to actual
begging. "And secondly... no, get used to it!"

"I hate you so much," Chris whined.

"No you don't, you love me," Danny said, blushing a little at his own
choice of words.

"Yeah I do," Chris unashamedly agreed. "But I'd love you more if you let me
cum!" he added with a cheeky grin.

"Nice try," Danny chuckled, the nestled down against him, letting his
fingers trace casual circles on the other boy's stomach while his foot slid
up and down a silken leg.

Down below, Josh looked to Rob and said, "This is your fault!" as he
gestured from Mikey to James.

"Enough!" David snapped. The normally timid boy had seemingly reached the
limit of what he could take. "James, apologise to Mikey!"

"Sorry," James said sheepishly.

"And Mikey, you too!" David snapped.

"But I..." Mikey started.

"Michael!" David said sharply.

"Fine, okay, geez!" Mikey said, surprised. "Sorry James," he said, not
particularly sincerely.

"Good. Now shut up, all of you! Rob, I might be able to get you a lead, but
you only get if everyone shuts up right now. I wanna sleep!" David said
firmly.

Everyone just sat in stunned silence for a moment.

"Oh my God," Chris whispered, looking over at the younger boy. "How sexy is
he right now?"

"Shut up," Danny chuckled, playfully swatting Chris' cock. "But yeah, that
was hot!" he added with a dirty snigger. "Gotta love a guy who can take
charge!"

David remained sitting up, waiting until everyone had settled into their
beds. "Good!" he said firmly. Just like that, he returned to his usual self
and called out a quiet little, "Goodnight everyone!"

"Night Sir!" Mikey called out, getting a laugh from the others before they
all settled in for the night.
