Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2019 01:39:11 +0800 From: Jonathan Evans Subject: Barely Legal Chapter 3 Janus whistled a happy tune as he reboarded his ship. What he saw next made him very much amused; Brad was staring intensely at their intruders -- with eyes as wide as an owl, he kept them in his line of sight. `When I said watch over him, I didn't mean giving them the death stare' chuckled Janus as he moved calmly towards them. Realising what he has been doing for the past ten minutes, Brad quickly shifted his glance away -- obviously embarrassed. Janus then continued to drag the two motionless bodies and the burly man whose lights have been knocked out, just beginning to stir awake. He groaned in pure agony. `What now?' Brad suddenly inquiring. Janus, a little stunned by the unexpected question, took a moment to collect his thoughts before saying, `I looked through the database while I was checking out their ship. Apparently these men are wanted criminals; for what reason, I don't know. I'm bringing them to a Coalition headquarters and fortunately the nearest one to us is on Chiark.' `That's great news, I really want to experience Chiark. I wonder what's it like there.' Brad excitedly squeaked out. Indeed, Brad was thrilled to have a first-hand experience of Chiark -- afterall, exploring and traveling around the world has always been his passion. `Please... let me go, I'll... give you anything! Treasure, money, hell, even women. Just untie me and I'll make it even.' A weak voice escaped from the burly man, pleading for his life. `Just like any other fiction, the bad guy gets caught and what does he do? He starts offering unimaginable riches and sinful desires. Ha! How cliché. You speak as if we are interested in such things. Tough luck buddy.' 'But doesn't having your way with a women anytime sound like a good idea? Nowadays it's hard to find someone willing to get off with. Afterall space is vast and ever expanding...' countered the burly man in his last ditch attempt to save himself from his downfall. 'This one's noisy' muttered Janus as reached over to his back pocket and pulled out a cloth; which he used to stuff into the burly man's mouth, gagging and preventing him from making any further absurd offers. 'Let's get going. Things don't get done by themselves' announced Janus. Janus sat down on the pilot's seat and began to move over the controls like clockwork; making all sorts of adjustments and setting his coordinates for Chiark. A sudden thought sprung into Brad's mind which he immediately tried to clarify, 'what about their ship? Do we leave it here?' `Nah, my ship is fully capable of hauling other ships along, all though it would go slower.' Janus explained patiently, surprised at Brad's keen awareness. Satisfied with Janus' answer, Brad sat down next to him. Soon, Brad was again dozing off in his chair. Afterall, he has not been getting enough sleep recently and this seemed like a good opportunity for a change of pace. After setting the ship back to autopilot, Janus relaxed in his chair and stared into the dark abyss. As the hours passed by, Chiark's star expanded across their view. And when the duo looked closely enough, they could see a faint blue dot moving closer to them; it soon overtook the view of Chiark's star by the minute. 'I didn't know ships could move that fast' remarked Brad to his astonishment. `Technology eh.' smirked Janus. Approaching the blue marble that was Chiark, the ship slowed down considerably preparing to enter the planet's atmosphere. Looking down from the window, Brad could see a bustling city. The city was absolutely magnificent; large was an understatement for its size -- it was at least 3 times larger than C36's cities, while lush greenery can be seen hanging and growing (which was obviously not an overgrown mess and carefully manicured), interspersed throughout the city. Truly a sight to behold. This was very much unlike C36 where the buildings were all grey, dull, and lifeless. `Wow' was the only thing Brad could say as the ship soon came to a halt at a ship hanger. A flurry of events unfolded afterwards. Brad watched as Janus dragged the three man off the ship. At the same time, a robotic arm was detaching the bandit's ship from their ship. Before exiting, Janus hollered across the ship, `I'll be back in a few once I get this sorted out!' Brad sat back down on his seat as he waited patiently. Boredom soon got the better of him when he decided he wanted to explore Janus' ship. Opening the first compartment he walked by, a scary looking rifle laid undisturbed inside; fully loaded and ready for action. Assuming that it be best not to mess with such a deadly weapon, Brad quickly closed the compartment. Next to it was a smaller compartment. Upon opening the second compartment, Brad saw a framed picture; in it was a younger Janus and another man embracing each other. The other man was strikingly handsome and as well muscled as Janus -- this obviously made Brad a little jealous. Were they just friends or were they lovers? A million questions came to Brad's mind as he remained unaware of the imposing body of Janus now standing behind him. Looking over Brad's shoulder, he saw that Brad was looking at the picture of him and his ex. The picture always saddened him, they were madly in love. What ended them was when they were trying to escape the facility. Minerva sacrificed his life to stall the guards, allowing Janus to escape. Janus watched afar in anguish as the guards plummeted a laser through Minerva's head. After the quick flash back, Janus suppressed his painful past and coughed slightly to make his presence be known to Brad. Knowing that he has been caught red handed, Brad turned around sheepishly to face Janus' towering figure. Trying his luck Brad asked, `Who's that in the photo?' `That is the love of my life...' Brad held his breath upon hearing this. `Or was. He's dead. Let's not dwell on the past.' stated Janus. Brad instantly felt a sense of relief but immediately after felt bad about it. Here Janus was sharing to him about his tragic past while Brad was worried about whether he gets Janus all to himself -- a selfish thought indeed. He then noticed that Janus was eerily emotionless; either he was well versed in hiding his emotions or the event bare little significance to his life. Brad assumed it to be the first as he noticed the tinge of pain that flashed past Janus' eyes. `Okay, let's get going, I know a place nearby where we can stay for a few days before you decide whether you want to stay on Chiark or continue following me. Did I not mention before, you smell.' Janus cringed his nose while giving Brad a wide grin. `Hey no fair. You smell as bad as me' protested Brad. `I guess we both need a shower. We'll leave the ship here. Let's go.' The duo exited the ship. Janus lead the way as Brad got used to his unfamiliar surroundings. Walking around Chiark in person felt amazing although tiring. They were surrounded by crowds of people going about their day minding their own business. The air was filled with the constant buzz of people talking It was a breath of fresh air for both of them after being stuck in the ship for more than a day. The crowds thinned out as they made their way into more obscure alleys until a single small (in comparison to everything else on Chiark) and modern building faced them. `This is where we will be staying for the night' declared Janus. He then lead both of them into the lobby of the hotel. `Good day sir, how may I be of service today?' chimed the attendant standing behind a counter. `Hi, is there a room with two singles? We will be staying for a week.' A screen materialised in front of them as the attendant took Janus' request. `Unfortunately there aren't any available. Those rooms are fully booked. Would two different rooms suffice?' `Oka...' `How about a room with a queen size bed. We can share. I don't want you to spend too much on me.' Brad interjected with a hidden agenda in mind. `Money is of no concern; they don't use cash here. What is the real reason why you want to stay in the same room as me?' Janus was trying to figure out the guilt ridden boy standing next to him. `I'm scared to be alone' replied Brad dubiously. Despite being unconvinced with Brad's reasoning, Janus nevertheless decided to heed his request. `We will take a room with a queen size bed' announced Janus. `Perfect, there are a few rooms available.' The attendant cheerfully informed. After a few moments of tapping away on the screen that was projected on air, the attendant continued, 'here are your keys and have a pleasant day ahead.' This ended with Janus receiving a thin card made out of glass. After checking the room number, they turned their backs as they headed for their room. The hotel was not all that grand, but it was definitely functional; the lobby was spacious -- there were many seats for arriving guests to lay on. Surprisingly, there were not many people around, considering the foot traffic the duo experienced on their way to the hotel. It seemed like Chiark was not as densely populated as Brad had expected. The amenities were the usual; there was a cafe at the front, a restaurant, and a gym. Realising that there was a gym, Janus considered working out there during the duration of their stay. They soon arrived at the room. Upon opening the door, Brad was at awe. It was sleek, modern, but most importantly clean and tidy. Maybe he was just easily impressed as he usually did not have the best living conditions. Resting against the wall was a large sturdy bed just enough for two. `You should take a shower first' suggested Janus as he noticed Brad's overall exhaustion. This way, the boy can get ready for bed in a shorter time. 'Okay' agreed Brad as he started to strip off his clothes that hugged his body tightly. Lifting his shirt up exposed his taut stomach. Brad was mostly thin due to malnutrition although his arms were developing well for a boy his age. Janus faced away to give Brad a little privacy. He then peeled off his boxer briefs that held his ever expanding member. He felt excited for being such a striptease. It took a lot of effort and self control from him not to pounce on Janus in hopes of satisfying his urges. Meanwhile, Janus sat faced away from the stripshow Brad was giving, mulling on the past. Admittedly Brad was quite the charm but Janus felt that he was unable to love again after what has happened. It was an important mission the both of them were on -- stopping the transfer of a dangerous weapon that could level planets. It ended in a major disaster where one ended up dying and the other left on the run. Brad entered the shower once he was totally nude, his cock leading the way. Smooth black tiles covered the interior of the shower. He spotted a panel that had controls for the shower. This probably was the most advanced shower system he had seen; not only were there heat controls, there were controls for the intensity, direction, and the spread of water falling from the ceiling above. Luke warm, heavy, top to bottom, and throughout the cubicle -- these were the options Brad had selected for it almost resembles the rain on his home planet. It certainly brought back some memories to Brad when he first stepped under the shower. When he was younger, he used to play in the rain together with his sister, running around and splashing in puddles. Drops of water pelted onto his body, washing away dirt. The shower did more than just wash away dirt; it washed away the pain, the exhaustion, the worry, and the fear, all gone -- releasing all that had accumulated over the span of his life on C36. Brad was oblivious to how much time he was taking in the shower. Ten minutes had passed before he even remotely started to wash his body. He lathered his body with soap. Instinctively, his hand moved down from his abdomen to his penis which he started to stroke -- this was much needed release from the major buildup of sexual tension from constantly being next to such a beautiful man. He was picturing Brad's perfect frame as he stroked frantically. From kissing his handsome face to sticking his dick past that cute smile to riding up and down such an amazing body, Brad's imagination ran wild. He was so close. Brad started moaning softly as he slipped a soapy finger up his hole. Imagining taking it from Janus was what pushed Brad over the edge. Cum spurted out of his dick on to the walls of the shower, coating it with slick white cum. A sense of relief followed by shame washed over Brad. ========== Thanks for reading.
