For it to happen on a Saturday was beyond virtually unheard of, yet there they all were, wide awake and lounging around the dorm. Chris remained in bed, enjoying the fact Danny had skipped his normal morning gym session. They had been joined by Mikey who had shamelessly forced his way in between them. Nicky was sat on one of the sofas, with David laying at his side, head on his lap and legs over the arm as he tapped away at the laptop on his stomach. Rob and Josh were sat on their beds, facing each other while Mark stood between the two bunk beds, casually doing pull-ups as he held onto the guard rails, making up for his skipped gym session. "Are you... actually making a spreadsheet?" Nicky asked as he looked at David's laptop. "To help you decide?" he added, saying it deliberately loud so the others could hear. "What else am I supposed to do? Roll a die?" David asked, shaking his head. He suddenly sat up and said, "Ooooh! I could just roll a die. Danny grab, your D&D stuff!" "You're not making this decision on a dice roll!" Nicky scowled disapprovingly. "I mean, it WOULD be easier!" Danny said with a smirk, getting quiet chuckles from the boys beside him. The decision they were discussing was the very reason they were all up so early. Over the past four days, they had all attended the interviews for the new intake of Year 7s due to start in September. While they were officially there to `assist' the Headmaster, Mr Everett, they all served a second more important purpose. They were tasked with making the final decision about which of the four candidates they met would make it into Kingswood. The reason the decision fell to them was because they would go on to be mentor their chosen boy for the remainder of their time at Kingswood (and according to many, long after they left too, with many mentor/mentee relationships lasting a lifetime). While a couple of the boys had already reached their decision, most were still in the throes of deliberation. "You are NOT deciding by rolling a dice!" Nicky repeated firmly. "Die," David corrected, then quickly added, "I mean the singular is die, not dice, I wasn't telling you to die!" "I got it," Nicky smirked, then repeated again, "You're not deciding with a DIE!" "Fine, then spreadsheet it is!" David harumphed, getting a snigger from the others around the room. "Oh my god, you guys should see this!" Nicky said with a grin as he snatched the laptop from David. "He's actually ranking them. Categories are intelligence, sexual compatibility, personal interests, attitude and... looks! Seriously? Judging them based on looks?" David snatched the laptop back as the others watched on in amusement. "It's the last category for a reason. Mostly just a tie-breaker in case they tie on the rest!" David said defensively. "And besides, there's nothing wrong with wanting to have someone who's... easy on the eye!" "Good thing our mentors never thought that, or you lot never woulda got here!" Josh called out. "Quiet, you!" Mark said, reaching through the railings to give Josh's leg a sharp pinch. "You've already made your decision, so you don't get to take part!" "Oh, you mean his MYSTERY decision. Oooooooh!" Mikey taunted with a smirk. While the other seven boys had returned to the dorm and talked about the boys they had met, Josh had been silent on the subject, sharing no details other than, "I've got a good one!" "Yeah, come on," Danny insisted. "I told you mine!" "Yes, but yours is stupid!" Josh sniggered, deflecting the question. "It's not stupid!" Danny said defensively. As the others laughed, Chris shook his head and said, "Your one left you tied to a bed, naked and blindfolded for Mr Everett to find and you think he's a GOOD choice!?" Danny shrugged a little and said, "I never said good. I said interesting! Big difference!" Chris chuckled a little then glanced over to the sofas and said, "I might need to borrow your spreadsheet!" As David nodded, Nicky smirked and said, "I can't believe you actually asked Mr Everett if you could keep all four!" "Well, they're all so sweet," Chris pouted. While the rest of the dorm had a range of experiences, from wonderful to terrifying, all four of Chris' potential mentees had been boys he had gotten on well with and could easily imagine mentoring. The struggle now came from knowing he had to disappoint three of them by turning them down. "Ugh, screw sweet!" Mikey complained, shaking his head as he sat up, pulling the covers with him. Chris and Danny immediately slid together, cuddling in the gap Mikey had vacated. "If I'm getting a new henchman, I want him to be reliable, not sweet!" "Mikey!" Nicky immediately called out. "Mr Everett asked you to stop calling them that!" "No, he said I couldn't call them minions, slave boys or underlings. He didn't say anything about henchman!" Mikey disagreed. "I think it's implied!" Nicky said disapprovingly. "You're implied!" Mikey muttered grumpily as he flopped back down, with Danny and Chris only just pulling back in time to make space. "I swear he's only a couple of supporters short of going full-on super-villain!" Rob sniggered quietly, getting a laugh and nod of agreement from Josh and Mark. "Hey, I'm not the one who made a kid cry!" Mikey said defensively. "Wait, who made who cry?" Josh asked curiously. "Rob did!" Mikey insisted, shuffling free of Chris and Danny to the end of the bunk so he could look up at the others across the room more easily. "You said they went well!" Josh frowned at his best friend. "Yeah, I lied," Rob shrugged. "They went pretty fucking horrible. I just didn't want you freaking out about it anymore than you already were!" "Awww, that's so sweet!" Josh grinned. He lunged towards Rob but appeared to overlook the gap between their bunks. Thankfully, Mark quickly reached out to catch him, holding him up as he shuffled across to excitedly hug Rob. "Oh, it's usually Danny that catches me. Looks like I've got a replacement!" Josh giggled. Mark looked round nervously at Danny. Their relationship had not gotten off to the strongest start, largely because Danny had felt like he was being `replaced' by Mark in many ways. Having someone actually say it so overtly felt quite brutal. Danny smirked, knowing exactly what Mark was thinking. He shook his head and gave Mark a reassuring smile before he called out, "Good, you're starting to get fucking heavy!" Suddenly, most of their phones burst to life, alarms going off to wake them at what have been their usual time. Chris yelped out in surprise at the sudden noise and nearly launched Danny off the bunk, making the whole dorm laugh as they moved to turn their alarms off. "Thanks for that," Danny smirked, steadying himself. "Come on then. Mark, Josh, Mikey, these lot can be lazy if they like but I'm not having any of you show up late for football!" Mikey grumbled as he climbed off the bunk. "I miss the days when he only THOUGHT he was in charge!" he muttered, getting a snigger from Mark as they went to get dressed for breakfast. ***** With most of the dorm headed off to either football practice or music club, David had headed up to the first floor Common Room, feeling a fairly hefty sense of foreboding as he approached. He had been invited to meet Ewan, whom he had not spoken to since the previous week when they had kissed... resulting in Ewan literally fleeing from David. He wandered into the room and spotted the usual Saturday morning group gathered round the TV, while a couple of others were playing in the video games in the far corner. A quick glance over to the booths on the other side of the room and he easily spotted Ewan sitting there alone, staring over and looking every bit as nervous as David felt. "Morning," David said awkwardly as he approached. "Hi," Ewan replied sheepishly. David stood silently for a moment before has asked, "Should I... sit?" "Oh!" Ewan exclaimed, nodding. "Yeah, yeah, sit down!" David took a seat and silence returned once again as they took turns looking at each other, only to look away any time the gaze was returned. Eventually, David offered, "I'm sorry for upsetting you!" "No, don't be!" Ewan insisted. "Well... yeah, we're friends, so you should be sorry if you upset me, but... but... what I mean is... what you did... what... WE did isn't... it isn't... what upset me!" "Then what is?" David asked, reaching out to take his friend's hand. Ewan pulled his hand back quickly before David could touch it, then looked immediately remorseful as he saw the look on David's face. "I... I..." Ewan tried a couple of times before he shook his head and squeaked, "I can't!" "Come on, let's get outta here," David said, seeing Ewan was starting to get really upset. "No, I don't need to go somewhere else, I really just... can't!" Ewan insisted. "I know, and that's okay," David insisted, holding out his hand as he stood up. "So let's just... go do something else and we don't need to talk about it!" Ewan let out a gentle sigh as he finally took David's hand and stood up. "I really don't deserve you!" he said sadly. "You deserve whatever makes you happy!" David insisted, pulling Ewan towards the door. ***** "YAAAAS! GO AARON!" Danny screamed out as he saw the ball fly past Mark in the opposing goal. The whistle blew, signifying the end of the 8-on-8 match the Year 9s were playing and Danny ran to centre field as everyone gathered. "Nicely played," he said patting one of his teammates on the back. "Mate, that was sick," he praised another, who had performed a particularly impressive manoeuvre. "Suck it, losers!" Mikey taunted, his side having won the match. "I would, but you ain't got anything worth sucking!" Adrian taunted back. "Hey, easy!" Danny quickly calmed the trash talk. "Yeah, you certainly are!" Adrian sniggered, getting a laugh from the rest of the team. "Aaaaand someone's running a couple of laps before we finish today," Danny said, staring at Adrian straight-faced. "Anyone else think they're funny?" The team fell silent. As Adrian stared at him, he raised his eyebrows then gestured back over his shoulder as he said, "Get running then!" "Mean," Adrian pouted as he took off. "Okay, well... good game everyone. We're SO ready for next week. Am I right?" Danny asked. He got an immediate cheer from the rest of the team, followed a moment later by a more sarcastic cheer from Adrian as he circled the pitch. "QUIET YOU!" Danny shouted at him, getting sniggers from the others. "Anyway, the match-ups have been announced! Next weekend at Crestwood, we're gonna be facing Witherington!" "Ah thank fuck. At least it's not King Edwards!" Kyle said with a relieved nod. As the others muttered, Danny hummed thoughtfully and said, "No, we've got them in our second match atthe end of February..." He paused as the rest of the team let out unhappy groans. Reluctantly, he added, "And we'll be at their school too!" "Ah, fuck all the way off!" Mikey huffed. "Hey, maybe this year don't get us disqualified!" Aaron said, slapping Mikey on the back as he said it. "Hey!" Danny snapped sharply. "Firstly, he won't. Right?" he asked, looking to Mikey and receiving a nod. "And secondly, you know what happened with that and they totally fucking deserved it!" "Sorry," Aaron said sheepishly. The disqualification that happened during their King Edwards match the previous year had happened when the opposing Captain, Gregory, had said some truly hateful things to Josh and ended up receiving a punch in the face from Mikey for it. "Besides, we still beat them in the final, AND we were beating them til half-time in the other match. If we could do that last year, we're even more prepared this year but first we've got Witherington to worry about. For now though, hit the showers!" Danny said, dismissing the team. "ADEY, COME ON!" he called out to Adrian who was still running. As the team began to head inside, Danny caught up to Mark and gave him a gentle nudge. "Hey," Mark said, clearly a little distracted. "I know what you're gonna say..." "Who's got the sexier legs? Aaron or Oli?" Danny asked, watching two of their teammates ahead of them. "Oh, okay, I guess I didn't know what you were gonna say," Mark frowned. "Kinda thought you'd be checking in with me about... ya know... stuff!" Danny nodded. The `stuff' in question was Mark's feelings on playing against his old school... as well as his old boyfriend, Gregory. "I am, but I figured if you needed to talk about that shit, you would... which I guess you are now, although that's maybe cos... you thought I was bringing it up!" Danny rambled. He frowned a little and asked, "So are you actually talking about it, or just thinking I want to talk about it?" "I..." Mark started, then shook his head at Danny, confused, "... genuinely don't know. But... I'm okay, really!" "Good," Danny smiled. "Oh, and it's definitely Aaron!" Mark sniggered, answering his other question. "I know right!" Danny agreed with a nod. "I swear, I am SO freaking horny today." He paused for a moment and chuckled. "What?" Mark asked curiously. "It's just... nice to say something like that and not have someone make a smart-arse comment back," Danny said a little wistfully as they wandered towards the locker room. "Anyway, speaking of... horny stuff, have you... done anything else yet?" Mark pouted slightly as he shook his head. His abusive relationship with Gregory had left him with a few sexual issues, which had resulted in him being largely unable to allow others to touch him. He had no issue touching other people, but the other way round had become a problem. At the start of term, he had experimented a little with Danny and actually managed to let the other boy jerk him off. "Not really... had much of a chance yet!" "Oh sure, cos nobody's ever horny round here or interested in a sexy, sexy man-boy like you!" Danny smirked. "Sexy... sexy... man-boy?" Mark said slowly, eyebrows raising. "It's a compliment," Danny insisted with a firm nod. "Anyway, no pressure, I was just curious," he said with a shrug as he opened his locker. A few moments later, Danny made his way into the shower room. The large room, once divided into shower cubicles, was now just split into three large open areas. While there were no `official' zones, at times like this when multiple Year groups used the room, a natural order formed with the third floor students in one section, the second floor students taking the next and the last one occupied by the Year 7 to 9 boys of the first floor. Some boys skipped it entirely, preferring to shower over in the Home Building, but as always the room was full and boisterous with showering students. Danny headed for an unoccupied shower head amongst a couple of his teammates and started cleaning off. Already horny before even entering the showers, the sight of so many naked boys around him had Danny's cock standing at full attention within minutes. It attracted a few amused looks and sniggers, but by now a stray erection in the showers was not worthy of mockery, even by the newer Year 7 students. Most boys had experienced one and been appropriately teased for it and was now little more than an inevitable occurrence at some point. Danny felt almost disappointed when all he got was a few eye rolls. As his hand slid down to wash himself, he felt a slight rush. Nervously, he wrapped his fingers around it and started stroking. Suddenly he found himself getting a lot more attention. "I think it's clean now!" "I don't think he's just washing it!" "Shower wanker!" and "Typical Danny!" were among the things starting to be called out to him as he stood shamelessly masturbating. The calls started drawing more attention, with most of the boys in their section of the room now watching. Several more erections popped up, some cautiously hidden, others reluctantly on show and a couple being stroked as discretely as they could. "Hey, looks like Kreuger's up for some fun too!" one of the Year 8 boys called out as his friend stood stroking. As it drew more attention, the wanking boy froze and yanked his hand away, trying to act like he hadn't just been touching himself. "Hey Danny, you should help him out!" Adrian called out, getting an immediate cheer. Danny looked the boy up and down and smiled, then causally strode to the centre of the area and dropped to his knees. "Sure, anyone else too?" he asked, his own cock throbbing at the idea. "Jesus, is he serious?" another Year 8 boy asked in surprise. "Go for it!" another boy said, nudging `Kreuger' towards Danny. "I don't bite," Danny grinned. "Well... not unless you want me to!" The comment got a round of laughs as the younger boy nervously stepped closer. "Anyone else interested, gather round... or just shoot on me I guess," he called out, emboldened by his own arousal. What followed was a flurry of movement as the boys in the area seemed to make their choice of staying to join in, or fleeing to safety. The shouts and sudden exodus drew attention from the next area, where Year 10 and 11 boys started catching on to what was happening. Before Danny knew it, he was the centre of a crowd of masturbating boys, various cocks coming his way for him to stroke or suck, the inhibitions of the group seemingly washing away down the drain as the showers rained down on them. The first load Danny swallowed was from a Year 8 boy whose name he didn't even know. The second from a Year 10 called Owen. After that, a well-placed shot effectively took out one of Danny's eyes, followed not long after by another to take out the other, blinding him as the cocks kept coming. He felt his hands and mouth being guided to dick after dick. Disoriented and unable to see, he didn't do an overly great job of pleasuring any of them, most simply finishing themselves off and using him as their target. There were bodies all around him, but just as it was starting to get a little overwhelming, he felt lips against his own. He quickly recoiled and yelped, "No, I only kiss my boyfriend!" "Yeah, I know!" Danny suddenly heard, in Brian's unmistakeable voice. There was another brief kiss before Brian called out, "Okay fellas, show's over. Finish yourselves off or fuck off, I don't really care, but Danny is closed for business!" There was a collective groan from around them and Danny felt himself lifted to his feet before being guided away. As he felt the warm spray of a shower on his head, Brian's hands grasped his face and squeegeed off the various loads covering it. As Danny opened his eyes, he saw Brian scowl unpleasantly then flick both hands, spattering the floor with the mixed loads. "What the fuck was that?" Brian asked as he placed his hands on Danny's hips. "Fun!" Danny replied with a grin, then leaned against Brian, enjoying the feel of their nakedness together. "Aww, feeling left out?" Danny asked as he peered up at his boyfriend. Brian just frowned, exhaling heavily through his nose, unsure what to say. A sudden grin spread across Danny's face as he said, "How about I make it up to you? I'll book a private room in the underground and we can have some, just you and me?" "Wow, I actually get you to myself, I'm honoured," Brian said, a little more sharply than he intended, though Danny didn't seem to pick up on it. He smiled and added, "That sounds fun! Now... you need about seven more showers!" ***** "We should probably head back before we miss lunch," Ewan said, pointing back in the vague direction of the school. They couldn't see it anymore, with several trees in the way as they casually wandered through the woods, though they were carefully keeping their sense of direction. "Why? Not like I couldn't skip a lunch or two!" David replied, slapping his stomach playfully as he smirked. "Hey, you're doing really well with your weight!" Ewan insisted, then smiled shyly as he said, "Besides, you... look good already!" "Thanks," David replied, blushing. He stared at Ewan for a moment then glanced in the direction of the school and said, "We can go get lunch if you like!" "I'd rather..." Ewan started, then paused, looking sheepish. "I'd rather stay here, if you really don't mind skipping lunch!" he said, barely louder than a whisper. "Sure, I'm having fun," David replied, then frowned and said, "Which is... kinda weird to say about being outside!" Ewan looked suddenly horrified. "I'm sorry, I didn't think about that. Are you okay? I... I shouldn't have made you come out here!" David quickly moved to grab Ewan, gripping gently onto both shoulders as he smiled and said, "Okay, chill. First of all, coming out here was my idea, not yours. Second of all, doing stuff like this is good for me! And..." He stopped, looking nervous. "Third of all?" Ewan prompted gently. David smiled. "Third of all... I just... like spending time with you! I don't get quite so... freaked out about stuff when I'm with you!" Ewan stared with a serene smile for a moment. "I... like spending time with you too!" he replied. They stared at each other for a moment, but as thoughts of their last encounter sprang to mind – the kiss followed by Ewan fleeing – David pulled away. "Let's... keep walking," David said, keen not to let awkwardness kick back in. "Yeah," Ewan said quietly as he continued along. "Hey, erm... Rob mentioned you quit the rugby team a while back," David said, trying to sound casual. "Everything... okay?" "Yeah, just... not as interested as I used to be," Ewan said with a dismissive shrug. "Oh, same for diving, is it?" David asked. "Are you... spying on me?" Ewan asked, frowning a little as he stopped walking. David shook his head and said, "No. No, really. I heard about the rugby thing and figured no big deal but Nicky was talking about diving this afternoon and he mentioned he was gonna miss seeing you there, that's all, I promise!" "Oh, okay," Ewan said, seemingly accepting it. "But..." David started, then turned to face the other boy, pouting thoughtfully for a moment. "If anything WAS wrong, you know you could tell me, right? I mean... no matter what it is, I'll... be okay with it! I promise!" "I told you, it's fine!" Ewan insisted as he continued past David. He stopped a moment later. His head slumped a little as he let out a hearty sigh. He held there for a moment before he turned back to David, looking tearful. "It's not fine!" he sniffed. David immediately rushed over and gently grabbed Ewan's arm. He guided him gently towards a small clear patch on the ground then sat down, pulling Ewan down to sit in front of him. As they sat facing each other, David took Ewan's hand gently and said, "It's okay." Ewan stared down at their hands for several moments, taking deep breaths as he tried to regain his composure. When he finally looked up, he asked, "Do you... promise you won't tell anyone?" David nodded silently as he gave a meek smile, squeezing Ewan's hand a little. Ewan took another deep breath in and let it out as a sigh. "I've never been right," he said staring back down at their hands. "Like, all my life, something about me just felt wrong and... and a while ago I... kinda figured out why. It was... scary and really intimidating to try to figure out, but... at the same time it also felt good to maybe start understanding WHY I felt so wrong and so... different." David just smiled or nodded supportively any time Ewan ventured a glance his way. "And, well... I've been dealing with it through... Dr Arkwright and... and... some other doctors too but... it's... well it's kinda reaching a point where I want to make some changes, but when I do... everything's just... gonna change and I really don't wanna mess everything up but I have to if I ever want to feel... not wrong," Ewan explained, getting a little tearful again. "But it's... it's just..." He stared David in the eye, jaw quivering as he said, "David, I'm really scared!" David quickly scurried to Ewan's side, putting his arms around him to hold him as he cried. David had long suspected the `thing' that Ewan was hiding, virtually since the first day they really spent any time together, but he had been allowing his new friend the privacy and dignity to handle it in his own way. While he still didn't want to just come out and say it, he did finally comfortable saying, "It's okay to say it!" Ewan inhaled sharply as he pulled back. Looking scared for a moment before seeing the sincere look in David's eyes, he composed himself as much as he could, took a few deep breaths and nodded. "David..." he said, almost panting, "I'm a girl!" She froze for just a moment, eyes fixed on David. David stared back as a sincere, gentle smile spread across his face. He gave a slight nod and said, "Thank you. So much! For trusting me with this! And I meant what I said, it's all okay!" Ewan burst into tears once again, though this time they were more tears of sheer relief. She chuckled a little as she saw David shed a few tears himself before they leaned in to hug once again. ***** "Hi sir!" Josh beamed as he saw Mr Rudd approaching. He frowned as he saw a Year 8 boy walking alongside the teacher. "Hi Josh," Mr Rudd replied with a polite smile as he left the Dining Hall. He looked down to the boy at his side and continued, "So that's why it's really important to..." "What you up to, sir?" Josh butted in. "I'm... having a conversation with Ty," Mr Rudd said, frowning at the interruption, gesturing to the younger boy. "Please excuse me." Josh scowled as the man walked away, glaring furiously at Ty's back. He rushed forward and barged in between them, shoving the smaller boy out of the way as he said, "I wanted to talk to you about..." "JOSH!" Mr Rudd snapped sharply. He looked to Ty who had staggered away but not fallen over and asked, "Tyler, are you okay?" "Yes sir?" the boy said, a little bewildered by what was happening. "That was NOT acceptable behaviour, Josh!" Mr Rudd said angrily. A few other students milling around the area paused to look over at the sound of the furious tone, but a quick sweeping glance from the intimidating teacher soon had them all scurrying away. "Sorry sir," Josh said with a shrug. "Like I said, I wanted to talk to you..." "And I told you I was talking to Tyler. That means I am NOT free to talk to you. It does NOT mean shove him out of the way and try anyway!" Mr Rudd growled. "But... but... but..." Josh stuttered. "No!" the man said firmly, shaking his head. "Apologise to Tyler, right now!" Josh rolled his eyes but looked to the Year 8 boy and huffed, "Sorry!" The teacher stared at Josh for a moment, frowning. "If you wish to speak to me, make an appointment!" he insisted, holding Josh's gaze for a few moments to let the point sink in. "Come along Tyler!" he said to the younger boy as he turned away from Josh. Tyler looked at Josh for a moment and gave a meek smile. "Oh fuck off!" Josh snapped, punching the smaller boy in the stomach. "JOSH!" Mr Rudd screamed out again as he saw what had happened, the yell echoing up through the large atrium. "Stay right there!" he snarled through gritted teeth as he reached for Tyler. He squatted down and placed his hand on Tyler's which had instinctively grabbed his stomach. "Are you okay?" he asked gently. "Yeah, didn't hurt," Tyler said, wincing a little, "Just caught me by surprise!" As the teacher gave him a questioning look, he added, "Really sir, I'm okay!" He forced a smile and stood up straight. Mr Rudd continued to look for a moment before finally accepting it, then stood up and turned to face Josh. The shout had managed to draw a lot of attention again, a few people appearing at the door of the Dining Hall to see what was happening while others peered down from the staircases and hallways above. "Right. Undress, NOW!" "B... but... but..." Josh stuttered, realising he had taken it way too far. On the verge of tears, he reached back and grabbed the neck of his t-shirt and pulled it over his head. As he got it off, he saw Mr Rudd holding out his hand, so he passed it to him. Muttering began turning into chattering from the people watching. Standing in the middle of the atrium put him in full view of the hallways to the Dining Hall, as well as the main walkways and stairs on all three floors above them, more and more students appearing to see the punishment in progress, always a sight that drew a lot of amused and/or sympathetic attention. Josh undid his jeans and pushed them down, pulling off his trainers with his feet to step out of them. He reached down to retrieve them and handed them over to the teacher, then glanced round at the growing crowd as he stood in just his underwear and socks. "Do NOT make me wait!" Mr Rudd growled. Josh sniffed as he reached down to remove his underwear. As he leant down, feeling his butt on display to the boys behind him, he grabbed the underwear and handed it over, slipping his feet back in the trainers, footwear being the only clothing permitted during a nude punishment. Instinctively he covered up, but a slight cough from the teacher was all it took to remind him it was forbidden during a punishment, so he let his hands drop to his sides. His cock sat tiny and shrivelled, his entire body smooth, not even a single hair anywhere yet - a constant source of frustration for him. "Now you will stand RIGHT HERE for the next two hours and think about your actions. You do not MOVE from this spot, you do not cover up, sit down or SPEAK to anyone. Silent reflection on what you have done. I will be back then. If I find out you have moved, or spoken or so much as LOOKED at anyone the wrong way, you will be in SERIOUS trouble. Do you understand?" Mr Rudd barked, his instructions loud enough to carry all the way up to the top floor. Josh went to answer but realised he probably shouldn't speak and just nodded. "Good," Mr Rudd said, staring at Josh. While the teacher looked furious with him, his expression softened for just a moment into something that scared Josh even more – disappointment. "OKAY!" Mr Rudd shouted. "Show's over, and if anyone touches him, they answer to me! Spread the word!" With that, he turned, placed his hand on Tyler's back and continued on his way, the sea of students parting instantly to let him pass before quickly dispersing too. As the boys returned to their routine, all giving Josh glancing looks, Josh just stood silently, desperately fighting the urge to cry. Being exposed like this in front of the whole school was bad enough, but crying too would just be too much. "Wow, you've proper gone and fucked up this time, haven't ya!" Mikey said, appearing from behind Josh. He looked the boy up and down. Josh just glared back angrily, not daring to speak. "Think I'll get comfortable and enjoy the show," Mikey smirked, taking a seat on a nearby bench, ignoring the annoyed look he was getting. ***** After a lot more tears and an inordinate amount of hugs, Ewan had gradually told David all about her journey so far, from the early feelings of wrongness, to the realisation of the problem, right through the terrified talks with Dr Arkwright and various therapy sessions with specialists that had followed. David just listened intently to the whole journey, happy to finally have his friend open up, but also just intrigued to hear about the experience. "I'm kind of... at the stage where I need to change a few things," Ewan explained as David nodded along. "It's... it's things like... toilets and... and showers and stuff like that and maybe... starting to dress more the way I want to and... and my name..." A huge grin spread across David's face. "What?" Ewan asked curiously. "I've just been DYING to ask you your name," David said with a chuckle, "Have you... picked it yet?" Ewan nodded. "I know... a lot of people choose, like, the opposite gender equivalent of their old name, or... close to it, ya know, like Ellen Page went with Elliot, but... I dunno, nothing like that seemed to fit so I just picked something really different." David nodded gently. Ewan took a few deep breaths. "I really like... Rose!" Rose said nervously. "That's beautiful," David said, then grinned again and said, "Hi Rose!" Rose laughed a little tearfully, sniffed and said, "You're... the only person I've told that to!" David's eyes widened as his jaw dropped for a moment. "Wait, really?" As he got a nod in return he added, "Wow, that's... I'm so freaking honoured. Thank you! I'm gonna hug you again now, okay?" "Very okay!" Rose nodded, reaching out as David leaned towards her. As they parted, they held for a moment, their faces close. Rose eventually pulled away. David frowned a little and said, "Rose, I... I don't wanna take this moment and make it about me, but... I kinda wanna ask you something." "Okay," Rose said nervously with a slight head bob. "When we... erm... when we kissed and... and all the others times we've been... erm... close and... you've... kinda freaked out or just... run away," David said, pausing as he worried his question might be insensitive. He got a nod from Rose to go on and asked, "Was it... cos you thought this stuff would bother me?" Rose sighed, frowning a little as she looked down at her fidgeting hands thoughtfully for a moment. She shook her head and said, "No, not really. You're... I mean... I've always known you'd be okay with... with me being trans because you're... well, you're not a small-minded dickhead." "Thanks, I try," David sniggered. "What bothered me was... well... I thought... you might not WANT to be with a girl so I didn't wanna... do stuff and then have you find out and be, like... disgusted and stuff!" Rose explained shakily. David nodded back for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand. That does sound... REALLY confusing, but... I don't even know what I am yet. Yeah, I've... liked boys before but... that doesn't mean I can ONLY like boys." "Sorry, I guess I... shouldn't have assumed," Rose said apologetically. "Hey, don't be sorry!" David insisted with a sincere smile. "You had enough to worry about without trying to figure me out too. But... let me make one thing REALLY clear to you!" he said, waiting for Rose to look at him before he continued. "I like you. It doesn't matter to me whether you're a boy or a girl or non-binary or anything, I just like YOU and... I kinda MORE than just LIKE you too, but I know you're dealing with a lot so if you don't wanna talk or even think about stuff like that, I'm still your friend and always will be, so we don't have to..." Rose lunged forward and kissed David. Their lips held together for just a few moments before she pulled back. "I more than like you too!" she said shakily. "Cool," David said, nodding thoughtfully, "Cool cool," he repeated, nodding straight-faced. As he saw Rose begin to look increasingly nervous, he grinned and said, "I'm gonna kiss you again now!" "Good to know," Rose chuckled. This time David leant forward, both of them moving onto their knees as they kissed, arms gently wrapping around each other as the kiss slowly progressed from closed mouth to open, the two of them melting into each other. ***** Brian smiled as he saw Danny approach, a bag casually slung over his shoulder, the two having arranged to meet in the main area of the Kingswood Underground. It was surprisingly busy, due to being one of the rare weekends with no SCIPS events planned so everyone was still at the school with plenty of free time. Danny smiled as Brian grabbed him and they kissed for a moment before heading off towards the room Danny had booked, hand-in-hand. "How's Josh doing?" Brian asked as they walked. While Brian was only directly responsible for mentoring Chris, the eight mentors of the dorm 1.09 boys were all close friends and cared about the whole group almost as much as their own mentees. Danny shrugged. "Hard to say cos he can't really talk, but he does look proper pissed off!" he explained, shaking his head a little. "You okay doing this? I know you're protective of him, so if you wanna keep an eye," Brian offered. Danny shook his head. "That's sweet, but nah, he's okay. Mikey's with him. It's kinda sweet actually. He's making out he's there to take the piss but anyone even goes near Josh or says anything to him and Mikey's all over them! Those two are... weirdly close!" "You're a complex little bunch, aren't ya!" Brian chuckled as they reached their reserved room. "Oh you have NO idea," Danny smirked. "Anyway, get in here! I've got plans!" he said as he pulled Brian into the room and closed the door behind them. "Oh, I see!" Brian said with a grin as he looked round. There were various rooms available in the Underground. Some were literally empty, others had basic seats or beds, while others came with built-in equipment, such as restraints. This room was the latter, various chains and ropes attached to the walls and ceiling. "Clothes off!" Danny snapped. "Yes sir," Brian sniggered as he quickly undressed. "Guessing I don't need to ask which of us the restraints are for!" Danny just smiled as he looked round and decided where he wanted his boyfriend. He pulled him over and shoved him against one of the walls, securing him so his arms were out to the sides before securing at the ankles and neck too. "How's that? Not too tight?" Danny asked, sliding a couple of fingers inside the neck restraint. "It's fine," Brian said, sniggering as his erection poked at the younger boy. He pulled at his wrist and ankle restraints and said slightly nervously, "Yep, all secure!" "Great," Danny said as he quickly undressed too. Putting his clothes down near his discarded bag, he opened it up and approached Brian, holding something behind his back. "Ugh, you are SO fucking hot," Brian growled, unsure what the boy had planned but loving every moment of it as he hungrily eyed the beautiful naked boy. "Likewise," Danny sniggered, then pulled the ball-gag from behind his back. Hearing a groan of frustrated pleasure from Brian, he reached up and secured it in place. "How's that?" "Haaaah caaa suhhh!" Brian grunted, his words indecipherable, though his throbbing cock answered for him. He let out another moan as he saw Danny walk across the room and return with a blindfold. He hated the thought of not being able to watch Danny but knew he would enjoy himself regardless. "There we go," Danny said happily. "All ready." "Fuhh whaaaa?" Brian asked through his gag nervously, but didn't get an answer right away. A few moments later he heard the door open. "Hey, what are you..." Danny called out, but was muffled from saying anything further. "Gnnnnnuhhh!" Brian attempted to call out through the gag, straining helplessly against his restraints. "Huhhhhh thuhhhh?" he shouted out as he heard sounds of a struggle. "Gnuhhh!" he grunted, trying to call out to his boyfriend. The sounds continued for several moments before Brian's blindfold was pulled off. He stared in shock as he saw Danny restrained, his wrists secured to chains hanging from the ceiling in the centre of the room. The person who had removed Brian's blindfold moved away, flanking Danny along with another person, both fully dressed. One wore a white mask, the other a black one. Brian could only stare as he continued to fight to get free, though it was entirely in vain. Gagged as well, Danny couldn't say anything back, he just hung there looking terrified, from Brian, to the masked figures and back. Without a word, `white' reached out and started to touch Danny, running his hands over the boy's body. Danny immediately tried to recoil, but couldn't do much more than sway as his ankles had been secured to the floor too. His squirming set Brian off again, desperate to help him. As white's hand slid down, it took hold of Danny's erection. Despite his obvious fear, Danny remained at full firmness, frowning heavily despite his pleasured moan as he felt the hand on his dick. `Black', who had just been watching for now, moved behind Danny and whispered something in his ear. Danny stared over at Brian in wide-eyed terror. Brian began to shout as much as the gag would allow, but he knew it was futile. The rooms in the Underground were specifically designed to be sound-proof and with the door closed, nobody would be able to hear him even without the gag. He pulled hard, but there was no way he was getting out of the restraints. Black moved aside a little to reveal he had pulled his cock out, giving it a few strokes to ensure it was at full firmness before he moved back behind Danny. The muffled yelp Danny let out made it obvious to Brian exactly what was happening. Black was fucking him, he had to be. The stranger's arms appeared around Danny, grabbing onto him tightly as he fucked him from behind. White continued to tease Danny, occasionally tweaking a nipple or playfully slapping at his still-rigid cock. Brian could feel tears in his eyes as he fought harder and harder to get free, but Danny had done too good a job. He could only stand and watch as his boyfriend got fucked by the masked stranger. Black seemed to be hammering away quickly and it wasn't long before he was letting out grunts of pleasure. "I'm cumming!" he growled, finally speaking for the first time. Danny looked almost happy as he felt the load filling him up, his own cock hard and dripping with pre-cum. White took that as his cue and jerked Danny off quickly. It took barely more than a few strokes before he was shooting long ropes of cum across the room, relieving the pressure that had been building all day. Even in the showers before lunch, he had not managed to cum, focusing instead on everyone else. "Damn, that was fun!" Kyle said, pulling off the white mask. Brian stared in shock as he saw the boy. "I know, right!" Adrian giggled as he put his dick away and pulled off the black mask. He walked across to Brian and removed the ball-gag as Kyle ungagged Danny. "WHAT THE FUCK!" Brian screamed out furiously, the pooled saliva in his mouth flying everywhere. "Woah, woah, what's up?" Adrian asked, recoiling from the angry restrained teen. "WHAT'S UP? YOU JUST MADE ME WATCH YOU RAPE MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND!" Brian screamed out, absolutely apoplectic with rage. "Hey, ease up," Adrian said, taking another step back, "You never used the safe word... or... safe signal I s'pose!" Panting as he swallowed some saliva, Brian stared at the boy in confusion and said, "Safe..." He stared from Adrian to Danny and back as a realisation dawned on him and he growled, "Was this... was this a fucking roleplay?" "Wait, you..." Adrian started, looking horrified as he took a surprised step backwards. "You didn't..." He looked to Danny. "You didn't... tell him?" he asked, looking appalled. Danny grinned. "I wanted to go for authenticity!" he said with a snigger. "Come on, lemme down," he instructed Kyle. Kyle had remained silent and continued to do so, unsure what to say, though he complied with Danny's request and began to free his wrists. "Authenticity?" Brian asked, visibly shaking. "Unlock me now!" he demanded of Adrian. "B... Brian... I swear... I thought you knew!" Adrian said nervously. "Just..." Brian started, but paused to take a deep breath. "Just let me down!" he demanded, still panting from sheer fury. "Jesus, chill!" Danny said, shaking his head as he rubbed his wrists. "We were just playing!" "Playing?" Brian asked, eyes wide as Adrian fumbled at the restraints. "You think... making me believe you're being raped... is FUCKING PLAYING?" As he yelled the last couple of words, Adrian recoiled again, but Brian huffed and looked at the boy as he said, "Don't worry, it's not you I'm pissed at." "Okay," Adrian said timidly as he continued. With Danny fully freed, Kyle moved over to help Adrian remove the last of Brian's restraints. "I'm sorry," he said weakly and just got a nod from the older boy. "God, you guys are making WAY too big a deal of this!" Danny huffed as he headed over to his clothes. "I swear," Kyle said as Brian was freed. "He told us you knew what was going on and that you'd just be in character and if you wanted it to end, you'd give us a signal!" he explained shakily "Can you two leave please," Brian requested, finally catching his breath. Adrian put his arm around Kyle, who looked thoroughly shaken, guiding him over to the door. "See ya later," Danny said with a smile as they headed out, but just cold a cold glare back from Adrian. Frowning a little, he looked to Brian who was already getting dressed. Brian continued dressing in silence then turned to look at Danny. "Ugh, what?" Danny asked, rolling his eyes. "Seriously over-reacting here!" "Over-reacting?" Brian asked, shaking his head. Danny huffed and said, "Fine, I told you it'd be just us and it wasn't so... sorry for that I guess!" "You... you think..." Brian stuttered, absolutely bewildered. "Oh my god," he said, shaking his head. "You're unbelievable." He headed for the door. "Where are you going?" Danny asked, frowning at the sudden exit. "Away from you!" Brian snapped, slamming the door behind him. "Fine!" Danny snapped, though there was nobody left to hear it. ***** "Yeah yeah yeah, whatever, move along!" Mikey snapped as a couple of Year 7s stood sniggering at Josh as he stood naked where he had been left by Mr Rudd. The two boys glanced at Mikey and quickly hurried off up the stairs, giggling to each other. Mikey saw Josh's eyes widen and looked round to see Mr Rudd had appeared back at the main entrance. He immediately jumped to his feet and moved closer to Josh. "Okay, come with me!" Mr Rudd instructed the naked boy. Mikey stepped in Josh's way and demanded, "What are you gonna do to him?" Mr Rudd might have looked amused at the intervention had he not already been annoyed over the whole situation. "That's between me and Josh!" he said bluntly. "If you hurt him, I'll hurt you!" Mikey scowled. Mr Rudd stepped closer, staring down at Mikey, whose bravado lasted longer than most boys' would have. "As the teacher stared down at him," Mikey started narrating, "The brave hero stood his ground, determined to protect the idiot behind him!" Mr Rudd, having never experienced Mikey's penchant for narrating in the third person when nervous, didn't know quite how to react. Caught somewhere between amusement and sheer confusion, he just shook his head and said, "I'm not hurting anyone, now please step aside, and Josh, come with me!" "Knowing the large man was doubtlessly not as scary as he wanted everyone to believe, Mikey stepped aside, trusting him to look after the naked moron!" Mikey narrated, stepping aside. Mr Rudd genuinely struggled to contain a smirk, turning away before either of the boys could see it. He headed for the door and heard Josh pacing along behind him. "Here," he said, pulling off his coat. He placed it around Josh's shoulders and said, "It's only so you don't freeze outside, it'll be back off soon enough!" Josh didn't bother putting his arms in the sleeves, he just pulled it closed around him, the large garment easily engulfing him, reaching down to his knees. As he detected a faint whiff of the man's scent on his clothing, he closed his mouth and inhaled sharply though his nose. The deep lungful or Mr Rudd sent a shudder through him, though he was able to pass it off as a reaction to the cold as they stepped outside. Mr Rudd walked at his usual rapid pace, heading towards the Sports Complex, occasionally looking back to make sure Josh was keeping up. As they reached the other building, they headed inside and went directly to Mr Rudd's office. "You can hang the coat up over there!" the teacher said, gesturing to some hooks on the wall, where a few other items of clothing hung. Josh let out a slight whimper as he removed the coat, glancing down at his cock, now standing erect. He desperately willed it to go down, but it seemed determined to remain on show for the man. "Come over here, Josh," Mr Rudd said, having taken a seat at his desk, gesturing to the spot in front of it. With a sigh, Josh turned, blushing profusely as his erection bobbed about a little on his way to stand before the man. "Care to explain yourself?" Mr Rudd demanded. "Oh, it just... it just does that... sometimes, sir... for... for no reason!" Josh stuttered, eyes fixed downwards at the persistent boner. "Not what I meant but good to know," Mr Rudd said, his eyes darting briefly down to the small penis. "I meant what you did with Tyler!" "Oh, erm... I don't know," Josh mumbled feebly. Mr Rudd leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk as his fingers interlinked with his chin resting on them. "You... don't know?" he asked incredulously. "Mmm-huh," Josh hummed, avoiding looking directly at the man. "Josh, come on," Mr Rudd urged him. Josh felt a tightness in his stomach. He had expected shouting, anger, fury... it was what he had mentally prepared himself for, but instead he got the same thing that had hurt him so deeply earlier... disappointment. Mr Rudd looked truly disappointed as he shook his head. "I just wanted to talk to you," Josh said meekly. "Okay, but... that's no reason to shove and then PUNCH another student, is it?" Mr Rudd asked rhetorically. "No sir," Josh answered anyway. Mr Rudd let out a gentle sigh as he sat back in his seat, thinking. "How did your interview day go yesterday?" he asked casually. "Really well, sir!" Josh said, his entire face suddenly lighting up. The teacher couldn't help smiling. Josh's joy was so obvious and outright infectious. "I'm glad to hear it," he said with a nod, "But have a think about that new little year seven boy who'll be here in a few months. You want to do a good job with him, don't you?" "Yes sir, definitely!" Josh nodded eagerly. "Okay, so... do you think what you did today would be a good example to set for him?" Mr Rudd asked. Josh's smile immediately dropped. He looked mortified at the comment for a moment before he timidly shook his head and said quietly, "No sir! It wouldn't." "Josh!" the man sighed, shaking his head once again, frowning in frustration. "I've said it before and I'll say it again. I truly believe you're a good kid, with a LOT of potential, and I really mean that!" "Thank you, sir," Josh replied, blushing a little. "But you've got one hell of a challenge to overcome!" Mr Rudd added. As Josh frowned at him, he said, "I'm not a therapist and this may be something you might actually want to speak to her about, but... Josh, your younger years, the things you endured, you carry them with you every day and sometimes... they can really influence the way you act." "I know sir, we've talked about that in my sessions," Josh said sheepishly. "I... I don't mean to do it!" "I know you don't, which is why I really hate having to punish you for it, but... reasons or not, if you act the way you did this afternoon, there will ALWAYS be repercussions for it!" Mr Rudd explained. Josh's face screwed up angrily. "Yeah, but only for me!" he growled, almost inaudibly. "Sorry?" Mr Rudd asked, not quite able to hear it. Josh quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing, sorry. You're right sir. What I did was wrong. I already apologised to Tyler when he passed me earlier." "You mean when you were supposed to not be talking?" Mr Rudd asked, raising an eyebrow. Josh's eyes widened as he realised his accidental confession. "Relax. Talking to apologise for what you did... I'm not gonna punish you for that!" Mr Rudd said, waving his hand dismissively. He stood up and walked around to stand in front of desk, leaning back casually against it as he looked down at Josh. "This isn't going to happen again, is it?" he asked softly. "No sir!" Josh replied, shaking his head emphatically. "I'll be on my best behaviour from now on. I wanna be a good mentor and I wanna make you proud!" He immediately blushed at the second part. It was embarrassing enough just standing naked and hard in front of the man without exposing his feelings too. Just being near the man was giving him strange sensations. Mr Rudd just chuckled. "Okay, I believe you," he said with a slight nod. He stood looking at the boy for a moment. He could still see the obvious nervousness on his face, so he held his arms out towards the boy. "Come on," he urged him. Josh beamed excitedly as he lunged forward, throwing his arms around the man's waist. As he felt the muscular arms wrapping around him, paired with the feeling of his rigid cock on the man's leg and the up-close nose-full of his scent, he let out a shuddery moan. "Oh, oh god no..." he muttered. Trembling as he leaned heavily against Mr Rudd, his cock twitched out a small load, all over Mr Rudd's trousers. "Noooo," Josh whined, sniffing back tears of absolute humiliation as he pulled away frantically. "It's okay," Mr Rudd said, pulling him back into the hug. "It doesn't matter!" he insisted. "It happens!" Josh just held onto the man, confused by his own reaction and the man's compassion. Despite feeling exposed and humiliated, Josh couldn't deny he also felt inordinately safe in Mr Rudd's arms. ***** As Danny wandered into the dorm, he had hoped to find Chris, but there was no sign of him. Glancing at the room's only occupant, Rob, he asked glumly, "Have you seen Chris?" Rob shook his head as he sat up on his bunk. "He disappeared after lunch. Not seen him since! No idea where he is!" "Okay," Danny sighed, then headed for his own bunk and flopped down onto it face first. "Erm... you okay?" Rob asked as he climbed down from his own bunk and stood beside Danny, though he knew the question was probably unnecessary. "Fucking peachy!" Danny replied, his voice muffled by the bed. Rob sighed and moved round to Chris' side of the shared bunk and sat down, leaning against the headboard. He held his arm out towards Danny, who was still face-down and said, "Come on. Come tell me all about it!" he urged the upset boy. Danny raised his head to look at Rob and gave a weak smile before he scurried up and nestled against the other boy's side. "Brian's pissed at me," he explained with a sigh. "And I think Adrian and Kyle are too!" "Hmm, why?" Rob asked curiously. "Well... cos they kinda stormed out!" Danny explained. Rob smirked and shook his head. "No, I meant..." he started, but shook his head and said, "Why are they all pissed at you?" "I dunno," Danny shrugged, then pouted and added a petulant, "Lack of imagination, I guess!" "Nothing to do with you going full-on bukkake in the locker room showers?" Rob asked curiously. "You heard about that?" Danny asked, surprised. Rob looked shocked. "I know this is Kingswood and everything, but... even here having someone go full-on public cum slut in the showers is kinda big news!" "Yeah, people love to talk," Danny muttered grumpily, rolling his eyes. As Rob looked at him curiously, he insisted, "No, nothing to do with that. I just... ugh, I don't even wanna talk about it. I just wanna forget it!" "Consider it forgotten!" Rob replied. After a few moments of quiet, he said gently, "I've missed hanging out with you. It's been a while!" "Yeah, I guess it has. Busy life and all that!" Danny replied, happily cuddling more tightly to the other boy. After a few calm, quiet moments he sighed happily and said, "I like this!" "Me too," Rob said serenely. "No, I mean... just... it's okay, forget it," Danny shrugged. "No, go on," Rob urged him. Danny let out another gentle sigh, took a deep breath back in and said, "I've always liked just hanging out with you. Like I said last year, we're the sane ones!" "Questionable, but go on," Rob sniggered. Danny chuckled a little too. "I just mean, since you and Luke went monogamous, we can hang out and it's, like... sex won't happen. I don't need to be thinking about whether it will or what we'll do or planning it or expecting it, I just... get to hang out with a friend that I actually like!" he explained wistfully. "Yay, someone who's happy to NOT be having sex with me," Rob said with a wry grin. Danny frowned and started, "That's not what I..." "I know, I know, I'm just kidding!" Rob insisted. "I totally get what you mean and... yeah, I like that I can be that for you!" "You don't... like it for yourself?" Danny asked, sitting up to look at Rob questioningly. "No, I do, I just... I dunno, I see how much fun everyone else has and I love Luke, like... I really love him, but... I kinda... feel like..." Rob shook his head, unsure how to finish it. "You feel like you're missing out?" Danny suggested. Rob nodded a little. "Yeah, I guess," he said, looking a little guilty for even thinking it. "Please don't tell anyone!" he quickly requested. "Chill, I wouldn't!" Danny said confidently. He chuckled a little and said, "I'm kinda glad Chris wasn't here now!" Rob giggled as Danny lay back down, the two cuddling together casually. They both lay there for several minutes, just enjoying the rare moment of tranquillity until Rob said, "I think we need to be in different dorms!" Danny looked round curiously, unsure where the comment had come from. With a slight grin he said, "That wasn't me. I swear it smelled like that when I got here!" "Ha ha," Rob said flatly, then gave a lop-sided grin as he said, "And we both know that smell was Josh, but I'm talking about year ten, when we move upstairs!" "Mate, that's... like, months away!" Danny said dismissively. "I know," Rob nodded. "But picking our little year sevens has really made me start thinking about it more and I reckon when we do, we should be in different dorms up there!" "So we can keep an eye on the others?" Danny asked, nodding gently. "Something like that, yeah," Rob replied. "I mean, I'll be honest, I fucking hate the idea of not sharing a dorm with you, but..." "I think we need to, yeah, totally," Danny agreed. "It's funny. Considering how awful I thought it'd be to share a room with seven other guys, now we're cutting it down I can't imagine NOT sharing with you all." "Likewise," Rob said with a sigh, then he grinned and added, "But on the bright side... personal space!" "Yeah, maybe for you," Danny chuckled. "I'm always gonna have a Chris stuck to my side!" Rob recoiled slightly, his eyebrows raising so far they virtually disappeared into his hairline. "Don't even PRETEND you don't love every second of that!" he smirked. Danny laughed a little as he nodded. "Fine, good point," he conceded. ***** "Come on then?" Mikey asked as soon as the lights were out and Mr Trent had finished his nightly checks. "Who's made their decision?" He paused a moment and huffed as he heard movement then said flatly, "Okay, who put their hands up, cos it's too dark to actually see that!" "Oh yeah," a couple of the boys giggled. "Let's try again," Mikey said, shaking his head. "Who's decided?" "Me!" Danny called out. "Me too!" Rob agreed. "Yup, same here!" Josh said happily. "Yeah, I think so!" Nicky said, slightly cautiously. "You THINK so?" Rob asked curiously. "Yeah," Nicky replied. "Three of them were nice, but... I dunno, only one really stands out as one I really want to spend more time with!" "Oh yeah, can just imagine how you wanna `spend your time'," Chris teased. "Cute, is he?" "No!" Nicky immediately called back as the other giggled. "Well... yeah, he actually kind of is." He huffed as the others started oohing, "But shut up, that's not why!" "Mmm-huh, suuuuuure," Chris teased. "So have YOU decided yet?" Nicky immediately asked back, knowing it would shut Chris up. "No, shut up," Chris pouted. "Have you at least narrowed it down?" Danny asked as he lay beside him. "Yeah," Chris insisted confidently, then added a quiet, "To... four!" "So... no then!" Rob sniggered. "I'm picking turtle boy!" Mikey declared confidently. "You can't pick someone just cos you like taking the piss outta their name!" Nicky insisted. "Oh, should I pick based on which one I wanna fuck instead?" Mikey asked a little pointedly. Nicky didn't reply, he just curled up more tightly under the covers. "You two are quiet," Rob said, peering down to Mark and David's bunks below. "Still deliberating?" "Ooh, big word," Mark chuckled. "And... I s'pose I am. I mean... I've narrowed it down to two..." "See, THAT'S actual progress!" Rob said, in Chris' general direction. Mark grinned as he heard a grunt from Chris. "I've got one who I think'd be really fun and one that I..." he paused, sighing. "Ugh, you're not in love are ya?" Mikey scoffed. "Nicky already proved why THAT'S a shit idea!" "Wow, thanks for that," Nicky huffed quietly. "No, nothing like that. He just..." Mark paused, taking a breath. "I know you guys'll take the piss, but... oh my god, this kid... I swear I just wanna pick him up and protect him from the whole fucking world!" "Aww!" "That's sweet!" "We wouldn't mock that!" "That's so nice!" the other chorused back to him. "Ugh, you guys are too nice!" Mark said happily, shaking his head. "True," Rob chuckled. "But it... does kinda sound like your mind's already made!" "Hmm, true," Mark conceded. "David? How about you?" he asked, looking to his neighbour, his face illuminated by his phone screen. David lowered his phone and said, "Huh? Oh, erm... yeah, I've kinda decided I suppose. One's weird, but in a fun way. The other's fun... in a weird way, but I'm pretty sure I'm making the right call! The spreadsheet helped!" He immediately picked the phone back up. "Hmm, so assuming Nicky's cute `maybe' is actually a cute `definitely', that just leaves... Chris!" Rob said with a snigger. "Ugh, you guys suuuuuuck!" Chris complained. "I don't wanna talk about it anymore!" he harumphed, rolling over to cuddle up to Danny. "Fine, we should probably keep it down anyway. Mr Trent'll be back round soon," Rob shrugged. "Besides, it's wank o'clock!" The other giggled, all equally eager to enjoy the nightly pre-bed wank. "Fancy more than a wank?" Danny whispered to Chris as he held onto him. "Erm... I'm not cumming tonight, but... you want a blow job or to fuck or something, I'm okay with that!" Chris whispered back. "Not... cumming?" Danny asked, like the words literally didn't make sense to him. "Everything okay?" "Oh, yeah," Chris nodded. "Just... been doing something. I'll explain soon! Besides, are you really turning down an offer like that?" "Fuck no!" Danny giggled, shoving Chris to roll him over. Moments later, he was balls-deep in his best friend. David briefly glanced over at the dark shadowy shape of his fucking friends then gave a brief look to his side where Mark was masturbating discretely under the covers. [G'night Rose!] he sent with a smile to his friend in the dorm next door. [Still so weird! But night! Thanks again SO much!!!!] Rose replied. David replied with a kissing emoji and got one back before putting down his phone. He reached down under the covers and started wanking, looking at the vague shape of Danny and Chris fucking across the room in the darkness. He couldn't make out the details, but still enjoyed the thought of it... especially as he remembered the cameras he had hidden, which would now have switched to infrared mode in the darkness to record every little detail! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed.
