A Karoo Christmas Discovery 3
Hennie and Jan met on the orientation day for high school. They are growing up in the Karoo and are both the sons of farmers. The two boys, who are both high achievers, have fallen in love in a very conservative community, and they are working out how best to navigate these traditional worldviews.

I was sorry that Hennie and I didn't get to see each other over the holidays. We texted and I sent Hennie some memes and articles that I was reading. I wanked every morning in bed thinking of Hennie and at night I wanked in the shower. I missed him very much and couldn't wait to see him again, after all, I slept in the same room as he did!

I couldn't work out why we never arranged a holiday sleepover, but we should have. I wanked whenever I got the chance and thought of Jan, I longed to have his cock in my mouth and to taste his precum. I watched porn on my phone and thought Jan. I knew that Jan really liked me and that he was in love with me, maybe more so than he should have been. Magda and Sannie missed Jan too and kept asking me where he was.

The holiday seemed to drag on, but there was no time for me to mope around as my father kept me busy working on the farm. I had to help with vaccinations, fence mending, and other ongoing projects. We were tired when we got to the house at night.
We got to see the neighbours from the farm next to ours one night. They had three children, and their youngest son was finishing his final year at our school. Jaco was a little shorter than me but very stocky and muscular, he was a star rugby player and school prefect. He was a leader in our boarding house and one of the students I despised. My parents had instructed me to be nice to Jaco that night, which I was. Jaco wasn't very intelligent and struggled at school, but that was irrelevant as he planned to take over the family farm one day. In the old South Africa Jaco would have thrived in the military. We lay on my bed and played computer games, and we watched a couple of funny YouTube videos. I could swear that I caught him studying my arse a couple of times and one point he grabbed my thigh.

I couldn't wait for school to start the next day and looked forward to seeing Jan again. Jan and I FaceTimed that evening and he told me that Jaco Swart had visited the day before with his parents. He told me that he would tell me more when he saw me.

I was glad the school day started with art with Mr. Pringle, who always got us going with an exciting project. He gave us each a box of oil pastels and asked us to use three colours to draw a conceptual drawing that represented an experience during the holiday. He showed us an example he had drawn over the holiday to get our artistic juices flowing.
I noticed that Hennie showed more interest in Annamarie Van Zyl, a girl he attended confirmation classes with. She was very nice and excelled in school, and I thought that she would be ideal for him.
Hennie Pretorius
Annamarie was looking more attractive than ever. She was taller and her breasts had developed, and I wished I could see more of her legs. I loved hearing her voice, and my cock stirred every time. Perhaps, I wasn't gay after all, because I felt attracted to her.
Jan Marais
I kissed Hennie once we were in our room and moved my hands onto his arse. He returned the kiss, but somehow there wasn't as much passion as before. I moved my hand and touched his cock which was very stiff, and I massaged him. He massaged my cock as well and I asked him to wait `til lights out.
We ate supper, had a prefect's meeting, and then showered. I went across to Hennie's bed after lights out I kissed him and massaged the front of his body. I went down on my knees and sucked his cock until he came. He kissed me and said that he would `do me' the next day. I was disappointed and wanked myself until I came, and I wiped the cum off my stomach with my T-shirt.
I woke up at around eleven by what I thought were cries for help. Wearing my T-shirt and sleep shorts, I ran toward where I heard what sounded like "No, no please don't". The noise was coming from Jaco's room, and I stormed in with my mini flashlight. Jaco had a new boy on all fours (Jaco's arse in my face) fucking him up the arse. The child was crying "No, no, please stop." As Jaco removed his cock and stood up I swung an adrenalin-loaded punch and Jaco went flying against the wall. The boy stormed out crying, and Jaco fell onto his bed. Jaco was wearing no pants and his erection was going. He covered his face thinking that I would follow up with another punch, but Hennie was behind me and held me back. I told Hennie to get out and I said:
"(Die kind het nee gesê, hoekom het jy voortgegaan? Die kind was in trane) The child said no, why did you carry on? The child was in tears."
Jaco sat with his back against the wall with his blanket pulled over his cock. He was in tears, begging me not to say anything, and that this would happen again. I told him that we would talk in the morning.
Hennie Pretorius
I reluctantly left Jaco's room. A grade 6 boy ran past me and as I got to the room. Jaco was falling as came through the door and I held Jan back. Jan sent me back to our room. Jan was still shaking when he got back to the room. He explained what had happened and said that he would have to decide what to do. I told him to "(Hoe jou bek!) Shut your mouth!" Jan said that he needed time to think. Jaco was his neighbour and had grown up with him, he was a prefect, his parents were past students and very good friends with Jan's parents, and Jaco's father was the interim chairman of the governing body and an elder in the Church.
Jan Marais
I lay awake most of the night, processing what had happened in Jaco's room. The image of him fucking Wouter from behind stuck in my mind, and I knew wasn't imagining the protests and the crying. I weighed up the consequences of remaining silent or reporting Jaco. It was a difficult decision. Jaco, the captain of the rugby team caught buggering a junior against his will! I thought about Hannah Arendt again and the banality of evil, and I recalled my favourite gangster movies. I knew that you couldn't make pacts with gangsters; and that you would normally have to go for the jugular.
Hennie Pretorius
We woke up early and I asked Jan what he was going to do. I made it clear that I didn't want to be involved as a witness and that if it was me, I would just let this incident go. Jan told me that wanted to speak to Jaco before deciding.
Jan Marais
Jaco was awake when I knocked on his door. His eye was swollen and slightly blue. He apologised again and pleaded that it would never happen again and begged me not to tell. He asked me to trust him for his family's sake. He appealed to the long relationship that our parents had and to the fact that they were all at this school together. I was in two minds as to what to do, if I did report the incident, it wouldn't be easy for me. Wouter, the young boy might not want to say anything, and it would then be my word against Jaco's. Jaco told me that he would explain his injury as a fall in the shower.
Jaco let me speak to Wouter on his own. Wouter shut down and swore that nothing happened between Jaco and him the night before and said that Jaco was only helping him with some Maths. I understood the power of the culture of silence, and I was worried that because of all the upheaval of the previous term, things might just be swept under the carpet.
Hennie Pretorius
I was furious with Jan. Why did he have to interfere in the first place? I had been telling him for ages to keep his head down. I decided that morning to ask to be moved to another room, I didn't want to share with him any longer. Besides, I couldn't understand how he could even think of betraying an old family friend and our 1st team rugby captain.
Jan Marais
I was fourteen turning fifteen and I had to make a grave decision, a decision that could result in expulsion or even criminal charges. I had reported sick to the matron in the morning and was in the infirmary. I hadn't eaten breakfast and had a terrible feeling in my stomach.
I felt very alone with Hennie abandoning me and I was very disappointed that he wasn't willing to say what he saw, and I hated his dishonesty. At that point, I wished that my mom was around to help me work through issues.
Jaco came to see me at lunchtime. The swelling on his eye had gone down, but a dark blue mark was developing below his eye. I told Jaco that I wasn't going to say anything and that he could stop worrying. I could see the relief wash over his face, and he wanted to shake my hand and said that he should just leave and forget what happened.
My conscience wasn't clear, and I still felt guilty. I hoped that with time I would feel better. I knew the truth and so did three other people, but it seemed that I was the only one who would come forward. I knew that I had compromised and that I had taken an easier road, and I also knew that the special relationship that I had with Hennie was over. His refusal to support me as a witness to the truth was heartbreaking for me.
I returned to school the next day.
