As a kid Troy explored it and always found different ways to access a different attic area using stairs from the third floor. Returning years later for the holidays, he found himself housed in one of those attics with other visiting cousins. And returning from his stretch in the Army, he found himself once again housed in one alone. He felt like a child again wandering the third floor and going up the one flights to bedrooms and storage space. The majority of kids and men were outdoors ignoring the winter mist playing football or just running around. The sounds of their laughter could be heard through the walls. He'd stop here and there to peek out one of the porthole type windows to see brave shirtless relatives running across the expansive lawn. Chatter and clanking could be heard too from two floors down where many of his Aunts, cousins and grand parents cleaned, prepared upcoming meals and gossiped about their menfolk or someone they saw on Oprah. His own parents had divorced. His mother was downstairs and his father thousands of miles away where he'd be visiting soon. He hadn't seen the man since he put on a uniform and successfully protected himself while enduring the heat of deserts and the military justification for their decisions. He had much to tell he man who was still his father despite his mother's remarriage. The Uniform had come off as soon as he was shown where he would stay. It had been a nice month since Thanksgiving. Here he could rest, recover and think about the future. And here too, Tory found he was not alone in the family. That first day, after hanging up his uniform for good, wearing only boxer shorts and a robe, he looked for the bathroom climbing stairs, going into doors he though he remembered. "Ohhh sorry dudes" he mumbled but he didn't want to leave. The sight of three of his cousins naked having sex, the type of sex he liked, was magnetic. He closed the door and heard them stumble around and mumble "Who's that?" "Shit he'll tell someone" He found the bathroom and upon exiting bumped into one of the younger guys he had seen. "Don't worry man I don't tell anyone stuff. " he proceeded to introduce himself as cousin Troy. Standing naked in his room, he looked out the open window blowing the smoke into the air so the tell tale aroma wouldn't drift through the house. He had begun to smoke pot in the Army. "Here man suck it it" The guy sitting so close to him, Troy could feel his body heat, handed it. He inhaled and coughed. Troy was embarassed but noted the others that took the joint did the same thing. "It's the only way to survive here" Dobby the soldier who passed the joint explained. "And if you need help with other stuff, let me know" his hand squeezed Troy's inner thigh. He wondered how the guy knew he liked guys. He had only arrived two weeks before and assigned to this unit days ago. But he thought he misunderstood the guy. "Uh thanks I'll do what I can to help you guys too" he said feeling another squeeze acknowledging his words. "Hey man, you got some I can do?" The voice made him turn around ignoring the fact he ws naked. One of the guys he saw earlier was standing in the doorway. Now he was dressed in cutoffs. "Uh yea but better do it here" Troy reached for his boxers and pulled them on. The younger was one was Douglas, one of his second or third cousins. He was obviously experienced inhaling, holding and enduring the captured smoke in his lungs. "Uh so you just got out Mom said" he handed the joint back to Troy, his eyes sweeping the view. "Yea, spending time here then on to California where my Dad lives" Troy said. He smiled trying not to stare at Douglas' fingers unbuttoning his shorts and pushing them down his hips till they barely covered his pubes. "Cool. Uh we were just messing around, you know horny teenagers" Douglas said. "No worries. Guys gotta do stuff" Troy said "Hey you did good out there today" Dobby said. They had returned from three day scouting. There was gunfire, explosions and moments that smoke hid the sight of each other. "Thanks. I'm just glad we all got back" Troy admitted he was still rattled from his first exposure from enemy fire. "Got to relax, can't do it here. Shower tent, go into the back." Dobby said "I'll get a joint for later" he told Troy and the other two in their squad "Meet you at the mess tent. "Come on man" one of the others slapped Troy on the shoulder "You need it" Troy smelled his armpit and they laughed. Wandering into the darkness naked wearing only towels seemed dangerous. But he followed his mates across the sand to the shower tent. It was surrounded by building blocking any bullets or schrapnel that might fly that way. "You have a nice bod" Douglas said "Army kept you working out huh" He accepted the joint with one hand and tucked his other one under the edge of his waistband. "Worked out before, wrestling in High School, City College teams" he said inhaling as he felt good about the compliment. Doug was younger then he but probably old enough to be legal. He wondered how long the cousin had been having sex with other guys. The tent was full of other members of the company, soaping, singing, laughing as they danced in and out of the sprays of hot water. Troy saw more then one soaping another soldiers' back. It wasn't sex so much as buddies taking care of each other. "Come on" his Corporal said nudging him to follow him through the crowd of naked men to a far corner. They found a nozzle to stand under, soaped up and Troy reached without the guys request. The Corporal didn't move away but let his back be felt by Troy's soapy hands. "They put us up here because we get uh noisy. If they only knew" Douglas laughed "Wonder why they put you up here, you alone?" Troy nodded absentmindedly scratching his crotch as he inhaled. "Yea, dunno, just kind of nice to not sleep in a tent or barracks with so many other guys" "Oh, well didn't mean to uh bother you if you wanted to be alone" Douglas looked suddenly self conscious. "No man didn't mean that" Troy put his hand on the boys bare shoulder. "I like it that you guys are next to me. We have things in common" he smiled letting his hand moved down the boys chest without leaving it. Douglas smiled and blushed. His hand touched Troy's belly and move to rest on the waistband of his boxers. The Corporal pulled his arm moving through an opening leaving the hot water. Troy followed him into totally darkness. There were sounds here too that told him, this was the place nobody talked about but Dobby said he should go to. It didn't take long for Troy to realize that in the darkness here there were no eyes that would judge, name call or convict. The soldiers were like him, rattled, grateful and needing diversion. The hands, mouths, hard penis that did just that were everywhere. He didn't care who it was. The need for diversive pleasure was all that mattered. He indulged, gave, took and shared until his body exhausted of desire told him it was time to step back into the hot water spray and return to he barracks. Drying his body by the bunk, Troy wondered if anyone else was there. Was Dobby, or the others? He knew the Corporal. "Uh thanks" he said to Dobby when he arrived similarly drying himself. Dobby just nodded and didn't say anything. Troy knew nobody would talk about what they did ever. It helped them survive and that's what buddies did in the Army. "They're gonna call us to dinner soon. Doing a movie out there" Douglas said as he removed his cutoffs and grabbed a pillow from Troy's bed to kneel on. Troy inhaled deeply not moving away or helping as the boy pulled his boxer shorts down his thighs. He stepped out of the cloth and wondered if he should cross the room to close the door. Douglas didn't seem to think about it as he liked, sniffed and was soon giving Troy a blowjob. Troy let his body do what he had learned was important. He inhaled deeply and let his nervous system take over eventuallyl spilling his sperm into Douglas mouth and throat. "Nice" Troy said. The kissed. Troy tasted his own fluids still in Douglas' mouth. "I'll come back late tonight if you want" Douglas said as grabbed his shorts from the floor. He looked at the older cousin. Troy remained naked and squeezed the last drops from his own dick and put them into his mouth. "Sure, bring your friends" Troy smiled. "Really?" Douglas said "We can get pretty noisy". "Fuck man I like noise, the right kind of noises" He said remembering the darkness of the tent, the moans, groaning, slurping and sounds that only much needed orgasms can force a throat to emit. "It's going to be one hell of a holiday" He said watching Douglas leave the room, his buttocks moving and inviting Troy to think about what would happen that night and perhaps for many nights to come.
