A Series of Embarrassing Events Chapter Thirteen: When Shall We Three Meet Again?
SUNDAY 13TH DECEMBER 2020
It was two weeks since Noah's role-playing shenanigans but it played in his head and had been a treasure trove of sexual imagery. The thoughts, feelings, sights, smells and everything about the whole EMARP experience had been life changing.
Noah had been thrilled by being naked, shaved and on display for a room full of strangers. He had been shocked and delightfully terrified when boys he knew from school had turned up. He had been maddened with excitement when the boys pretended to record him wanking and cumming.
Brilliantly, Mr Godeita (Mason) had already invited him to another...
WaitingForGodetia: {I was thinking early in the new year? Before you go back to school?}
It was now the beginning of the last week of school before it closed for the Christmas holidays. Noah had a fourteen-day holiday to look forward - the boys did not return to the classroom until Monday the 4TH of January. With Christmas, New Year and now role-playing nudity to look forward to, it was going to be the best fortnight ever.
WaitingForGodetia: {Are you free on Saturday? The second of January? 02/01/2021}
Noah was to spend the holiday with his dad and brother and Jamie would be around too – though he would spend the day with his parents. Usually Noah looked forward to the extra time with his friends but with Toby still being temperamental and the dynamics in the group having shifted since he and Matty came out and Ronan had joined the team, Noah wasn't sure what the plans would be this year. Noah played it cool and replied tentatively...
Duke-It-Out: {I'm sure I could get away for a bit.}
Noah tried to pin down exactly what it was that had changed at Five Dukes Boys School. Among the changes were Noah's interest in nudity and coming out to his friends and his insatiable interest in sex. However, he knew Toby was the biggest thing to change. Toby had discovered Noah naked in the woods during the summer so he'd come out as a nudist and then revealed he was gay. They had touched and fooled around and shortly thereafter Toby changed, became more reserved and moodier.
Toby seemed depressed.
But what was Toby depressed about? About being gay? About not being gay but fooling around with Noah one time? It was one time! Toby had very strict feelings about his religious faith, which Noah respected but didn't share. Toby's father was more orthodox when it came to Judaism but his mother was aloof. Was Toby internalising homophobia and excusing it with his faith? Noah feared he was making too many assumptions about something Toby had refused to elucidate. However, he couldn't help but wonder if faith had played into Toby's feelings of... guilt? Revulsion?
Was Toby repulsed by having touched a boy once? Not just any boy, Noah, his best friend. Noah had tried to talk to his best friend but Toby didn't want to talk, he wanted to forget. Yet it was Toby who remained miserable about the whole thing. Noah didn't know what to do now. He didn't want Toby to be a jerk again and he didn't want to upset Toby either; despite his protests, Toby wasn't fine and whatever was bothering him was not settled.
Noah just wanted to help, despite Toby's rejection.
WaitingForGodetia: {There is one thing.}
Noah was about to close his Message-Me and log off Sextr when another message came though. It was Sunday night and he needed to go to sleep - he was excited to start the last week of school because the sooner it started, the sooner he's be off for two weeks.
Duke-It-Out: {What is the one thing?}
Noah waited for a reply.
WaitingForGodetia: {The next EMARP would involve another actor directly interacting with you and a large number of spectators.}
WaitingForGodetia: {And it would involve a medical theme.}
Duke-It-Out: {Sounds intriguing. Tell me more?}
WaitingForGodetia: {Do you know what an EUA is?}
Noah wasn't sure what would be exciting about a scenario that involved him pretending to be unconscious but he was sure to find out. He was already anticipating the event that was nearly a month away. Noah was in the main bathroom, brushing his teeth; he spit and wiped his mouth and scratch the prickly patch above his dick where his pubes were growing back.
"If you're going to play with yourself, go back to your room," his brother said from the threshold of the open door.
Noah hadn't closed the door because he was only brushing his teeth but he flushed with embarrassment at being caught with his hand near his dick.
"I wasn't touching myself it that way," Noah replied – it sounded slightly pathetic.
Daniel stepped into the bathroom and chuckled at Noah's defence. Noah looked at his flaccid penis with was only a couple of inches long; his balls had a couple of short and wispy hairs and above his dick was a five o'clock shadow. Noah looked at his big brother who was shirtless and dressed only in hid boxers. Inside the boxers was a clearly meaty package that Noah was ashamed to have just checked out.
"Just because you're not as comfortable with your body as I am with mine," Noah said as he tried to squeeze past Daniel.
Daniel caught Noah by the shoulder and turned his little brother to face him. Then, quite unexpectedly, Daniel shoved his boxers down and stepped out of them. As he stepped out of his underwear, Daniel's hairless leg brushed Noah's. Dan's was muscular and manly despite its smoothness whereas Noah's was thin and boyish.
Noah could feel the heat from his big brother's naked body.
Noah looked down and saw that Daniel had a thick four-inch dick between his legs. It was definitely flaccid but it was beautiful. The head was secreted within a pinched foreskin and it was topped by a spray of pubes that was quite unlike Noah's naturally short pubic bush. The sac containing Daniel's testicles was a fuzzy ball that sagged low as the eggs inside were pulled by gravity.
Noah had seen his brother naked before after accidentally catching him fucking his best friend. His big brother had a big hard-on. Noah had also caught a few accidental glimpses of Dan naked over the years – but never ever this close. Noah was more fascinated by his brother's limp dick than the erect version. It was gorgeous.
"I'm comfortable with my body, Noah," Daniel assured his little brother.
Noah could feel Dan's hot breath and smell his brother's musky scent.
"Not everyone likes to show off like you do," big brother added.
As Dan turned, his body swiped closer to Noah's so their penises touched and Noah was instantly hard. Noah turned away at the same moment Dan strutted to the sink; Daniel didn't turn back to see it but he must have known his teenage brother was hard.
Daniel was right about Noah showing off though. Noah had told Dan everything he could remember about his EMARP and his big brother had been happy for Noah's enthusiasm. He registered similar concerns as Noah himself had had about whether Noah was old enough... or rather, he was concerned about the ambiguity of whether the EMARP audiences knew Noah was only sixteen.
Dan was markedly more suspicious of Mr Godetia but accepted Noah was an intelligent boy who had signed up for the sole purpose of getting naked and being exhibited and aroused. However, Noah's happiness and safety were Dan's primary concern and if those things were harmed by Mr Godetia, Daniel had promised to make things very difficult for the man.
As Noah left the bathroom, he looked back to see his big brother's ass. It was a bubbly and muscly pair of mounds and Noah briefly imagined sinking his face between the cheeks. His cock bounded and Noah felt precum dribble onto his thigh.
Noah raced back to his room – humiliated that he had been turned on by his own sexy big brother but it didn't stop him jerking into a pair of day-old briefs before dropping off to sleep.
MONDAY 14TH DECEMBER 2020
Noah was walking to school and contemplating so many things. Actually, he was trying not to think about Daniel naked or the fantasy of mutual masturbation with his brother. Noah turned his distracted attention to the EMARP that Mason had proposed. It sounded cool and scary and weird but he wasn't sure what to really think about the brief. There were lots of things to think about.
He switched to thinking about Toby again. In a way the situation with Toby made Noah think about Winnie the Pooh. Eeyore was always depressed but his friends were always there for him and always invited him to things and never ignored him, even when Eeyore didn't think he should be around them. Toby was Eeyore right now.
Despite trying to talk Toby, his friend made it clear he didn't want to talk and that more than anything was the most profound change in Noah's life. Was it normal to hit sixteen and for your friendships to change? Noah didn't want that to be the case - Toby was the first friend Noah had made when he moved to Five Dukes at the age of four and a half. Toby was the first friend Noah had told about his mum being...
"Mork calling Orson, come in Orson."
Noah turned to see Mateo and was, in all honesty, happy to have something else to think about.
"Who's Mork and Orson?" Noah asked bewilderedly.
Matty looked stunned, offended even that Noah hadn't understood the (incredibly dated, Noah pointed out) reference.
"We can't be friends anymore," Matty said with mock-seriousness.
By the time they were at school, loitering and waiting for classes to start; Toby, Samir and Ronan had joined them. To prove his counter point to Noah, Matty tested the knowledge of the rest of the group on forty-year-old TV.
"Nanoo nanoo," said Samir and Ronan at the same time.
Matty exploded with enthusiasm and hugged them both and then planted kisses on their cheeks.
"Matttttt!" protested Samir.
"You going to kiss anything else?" Ronan said without thinking.
<<You remember you haven't told them you're gay? They'll hate you, trust me. Don't tell them anything.>>
"Are you asking?" Mateo asked flirtatiously.
<<Noah was ok with it but the others won't be. They will hurt you if you tell them.>>
"I'm gay," Ronan said as if interrupting someone.
The voice went silence and his new friends stared at him. Noah patted his arm supportively.
"This group is officially more gay than hetero," Noah said cheerfully.
Noah was wondering why Ronan had blurted it out the way he had, but everyone had their own way.
"Technically I'm not gay, Noah. I'm bisexual by the way," Mateo added to Ronan; "But I reckon I fancy about 75% guys right now so..."
"We need to find you an amputee?" Toby said dryly, completing the hanging sentence.
It took a second for everyone to realise Toby had made a joke and then they all laughed.
"Listen, while we're all making shocking confessions, there's something I want to tell you all," Samir said seriously.
However, just then, the school bell rang and the opportunity was gone but there was a promise they would discuss it at break time.
"Until next week, this is Mork signing off," Mateo said as they headed separate ways.
"What's he talking about?" Noah asked Toby.
"I dunno," Toby replied sounding almost like his old self.
"So, what did you want to tell us?" asked Noah when they got to lunch time.
Samir, Ronan and Mateo had spent the break time explaining Mork and Mindy and Toby and Noah spent break time regretting they'd asked.
<>
Herman's tendency for pop culture references held no bounds. Ronan took a bite of his sandwich and listened passively to all the voices in the room, visible and otherwise. Every once in a while, Ronan dared to hope that someone else would hear the invisible voice (self-named Herman) but it was a fools hope.
"Ok... Coming out is kind of a big thing, right?" Samir asked.
"Oh. Yea. But we're all here for you, Sam," Noah said.
Noah was surprised that Samir seemed to be setting himself up for coming out - he would never have guessed. Ronan didn't say anything, Toby blushed and Matty looked like he already knew what was about to happen.
"I know you guys will all accept me whatever I am. To be honest, I told Mateo months ago," Samir said.
"Don't keep us in suspense," Toby said; he sounded faintly annoyed.
Noah wondered if Samir coming out would make it easier for Toby to figure out what was going on inside himself. Noah also wondered if yet another friend coming out would make Toby feel backed into a corner.
"I'm asexual," Samir said.
<<Ha ha ha. That's not a real thing. Ha ha ha.>>
Ronan hated the sound of the laughter; it was mean and ignorant. Noah and Toby both looked lost for words.
"Ok. That's... good? Fine, I mean. It's fine," Noah said lamely.
Noah instantly regretted his clumsy response. He felt like he should be better at reassuring a newly out member of the LGBTQA community.
"Doesn't that just mean you've not figured it out yet? Like, you've not decided if you like guys or girls?" Toby asked; now sounding more interested.
Noah looked at his friend, intrigued by Toby's interest. Did Toby identify as asexual? Was his uncertainty rooted in having no sexual attraction at all?
"No. I have figured it out, Toby," Samir said patiently; "I'm not attracted to men or women. I'm not sexually interested in anyone."
"No-one?" Ronan asked.
"Maybe you've not met the right person?" Noah suggested helpfully.
It was the wrong thing to say because Samir groaned with frustration. Matty put his hand on Sam's shoulder and gave a squeeze and then a reassuring pat.
"Ok, I can see Sam is going to have to explain this to you like you're all stupid," Mateo said in a joking tone but he was half fun and wholly earnest.
<<See, they do think you're stupid, Ronan. Everyone thinks you're stupid.>>
"I don't think about sex. I know how it works but I don't find it alluring or exciting or even very interesting. I think porn videos and pictures are pointless and stories are boring. I read Nifty, what a waste of time, only an idiot would keep going back," Samir insisted.
The others did not agree but didn't interrupt.
"I've read about asexuality because it seemed like everybody is interested in sex except me. People try to say, you're a late bloomer," Samir continued; "Or they say, you should try it first. I don't need or want to try it. For me, sex is like a pineapple pizza; other people can eat as much of it as they like but I think it's kind of gross."
<>
Ronan said nothing - indeed, he seemed unmoved by the revelation.
"What about pepperoni pizza?" joked Noah.
Samir chuckled along with everyone else but he looked at Matty for support.
"Samir was worried about telling you because he read a lot about it and he was worried you wouldn't understand. You can like guys or girls or intersex but when you start to say you don't like anyone in a sexual way, people think..."
"How can you not like anyone sexually?" Toby asked quietly in a neutral tone.
"Exactly," Samir agreed and then added; "It takes time for some people to figure it out. But I have figured it out."
Toby blushed and went quiet.
"Not quite, buddy. What about romance?" Mateo reminded him.
<<So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance let's face the music and dance just dance gonna be ok da-da-doo-doot-n just dance spin that record babe.>>
Ronan didn't know where Nat King Cole ended and Lady Gaga began. Herman kept going anyway, a mishmash of the two songs without punctuation to demarcate the change.
"I'm not sure about romance," Samir admitted; "Some asexuals have no romantic interests as well as no sexual interests. Other asexuals have romantic interests in just the same gender, just the opposite gender or all genders."
There was a prolonged hush where Noah, Ronan and Toby had nothing new to ask. Then:
"So, what's it like? Being asexual I mean," asked Noah.
He knew the question was akin to a hetero asking a gay person what it was like to be gay, but Noah couldn't help himself.
"It's like... Do you ever watch a Marvel movie and think, Black Widow is hot? I mean, you don't fancy her, Noah, because you're gay but you know she's hot right?" Samir asked.
"Yea, I guess," Noah agreed.
"Well it's like that except I also look at Chris Evans and think... meh..." Samir said with a shrug.
<<Don't you talk that way about The Evans!>>
"I thought everyone fancied Chris Evans?" Ronan asked facetiously.
"Well, if I figure out my romantic identity, maybe I'll ask him to cuddle or hold hands..." Samir started to say but was interrupted.
"Get in line," interjected Noah, Mateo and Ronan.
The boys giggled and chatted for a while longer but lunchtime was nearly over.
"It was brave of you to tell us all," Toby said supportively.
"We're all here for each other," Samir reassured Toby.
Samir had noticed Toby was preoccupied and often sullen since Mateo and Noah had come out. Then Ronan came along too and he seemed jealous of Noah's new friendship. Sam didn't know if sexual feelings were underlying any of Toby's reactions but he wanted Toby to feel safe so that when he was ready, if he had anything to say, he could talk to everyone about his feelings. Just like he just had.
"Yea. Maybe," said Toby reluctantly agreed.
Ronan was also preoccupied - he was thinking that if there was ever a time for shocking revelations then maybe now was his moment.
"Since this seems to be the day for shocking revelations..." Ronan began.
<<Do not do it. You'll regret it. You mustn't tell.>>
"I hear a voice no-one else can hear," Ronan wanted to say but he couldn't – he was too scared.
<<You can't tell them that, you dirty little beast. They'll think you're a freak!>>
"Ronan?" Noah prompted, a gentle hand on Ronan's shoulder.
Ronan looked shook himself free from his distracted trance. Ronan left his revelation about an invisible voice unsaid but he would still be thinking about it hours later no matter what the voice told him.
"I'm gay," Ronan decided to say instead.
<<Well, it was stupid to tell them that too.>>
"It's not stupid to admit I like boys," Ronan said irritably.
"No, I think it's brilliant," Mateo said; "Do you want to have a threesome?"
The table of boys laughed at Mateo's joke but Matty sneaked a wink at Noah and Ronan to indicate sincere interest. They kept on topic though as Matty encouraged Samir to open up more about what asexuality meant, whispering to Ronan that there would be plenty of time to talk about his coming out another time.
What was that supposed to mean? Noah and Ronan would find out later.
LATER
Matty: [When Shall We Three Meet Again?]
The message came through Noah's WhatsApp and he noticed Ronan had been added to the as-yet untitled group. Noah was at home, naked and scrolling though Sextr to look for something to jerk off to. Noah loved that Sextr was a one-stop-shop for images, video, chatting, groups, dating and more. Noah wondered why Mateo had created a group with just the three of them but replied...
Noah: [In thunder, lightning or in rain?]
Noah: [MacBeth, act 1, scene 1.]
Ronan: [Where's the place?]
Noah grinned at Ronan's reply - another quote from The Scottish Play - and was excited by the possibilities that were emerging. Noah pushed the tops of his fingers though the pathetic stubble of his pubes. It was gradually getting longer having been shaved off six weeks ago; it didn't feel course like stubble though, it was downy and fuzzy. It was embarrassing, is what it was - almost as bad as being totally bald.
Matty: [I was thinking since we're all into boys, maybe we should meet up sometime?]
Ronan: [We few, we happy few.]
Noah: [That's what I was going to say.]
From MacBeth to Henry V in one conversation? The boys really were smug.
Matty: [And gentlemen in England now abed...]
Noah: [Who said anything about being gentle?]
Ronan: [You can gentle my condition if you like.]
The boys continued their erudite banter and to flirt for a while. Noah continued to flit though images of beautiful people, finally settling on an anonymous Instagram boy who had his shirt off. Noah got himself good and hard and was leaking precum on his creamy thigh when he typed a final message to his mates.
Noah: [How about my place on Friday?]
Matty: [What will you be wearing?]
Even without his penchant for nudism, Noah would have responded the same.
Noah: [Same thing I'm wearing now. Nothing. Lol.]
Ronan: [Pics or it didn't happen.]
Matty: [You won't read that line in a Shakespeare play.]
FRIDAY 18TH DECEMBER 2020
The rest of the school week was mostly unremarkable. In the shower after PE, after getting naked and standing under the spray of water there was a minor embarrassment. Dural and Jasper passed remark of his pubes making a comeback - slowly like 90's pop band - but they meant it in good fun. Noah sensed the comments were a gentle reminder of their EMARP encounter and a reminder that they were still paying attention to him.
The Five Dukes Boys School closed at lunch time on Friday and would remain closed until early in the New Year. Noah still had some Christmas shopping to do but he'd been too excited thinking about Matty and Ronan coming over to give it much though.
Throughout the week, a new status quo seemed to have settled. Toby remained reserved but not quite as irritable as he had been and he and Samir seemed to be bonding nicely. Noah asked Sam in a quiet moment...
Quiet being a relative term. Mateo, Toby and Ronan were debating the age-old quandary: is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit? As with all their debates, it was getting heated.
"If it's a biscuit, why is it literally called a cake?"
"It's biscuit-sized and displayed in the biscuit isle."
"If it's a biscuit, why's it literally not fucking crunchy?"
...So yea, in their quiet moment Noah asked Samir a question.
"Does Toby talk to you?" Noah enquired.
"All the time," Samir answered but knew he wasn't addressing the real question.
"Sam," Noah moaned; "Please, tell me. Does he talk to you about... stuff?"
Samir paused to consider the question and when he replied, he chose his words with exceptional care.
"I don't know what he's told you or not told you or what you guys have talked about," Samir admitted; "Me and Toby have felt left out since you and Matty came out and now Ronan's joined the club. So, I don't want to break his confidence..."
"I would never ask you to," Noah interrupted; "I'm glad he's talking to someone."
"I think I'm the non-threatening eunuch in the group now. Toby finds it easier to confide in me," Sam reported.
"Good," Noah replied.
The pair caught up to Toby, Ronan and Mateo.
"You're being pedantic! I mean, tea isn't an ingredient in a rich tea biscuit but you don't complain about that," Toby retorted.
"Oh... you underestimate me, sir!" Matty exclaimed with giggles.
"I like ginger nuts," Ronan contributed unhelpfully.
"We do not have time to talk about Ed Sheeran's balls right now," Mateo joked.
<<You know a 1991 tax battle ruled that Jaffa Cakes are a cake.>>
Ronan chose not to contribute this information and they boys continued merrily away from school. As the parted ways, Matty grinned knowingly at Noah and Ronan.
"See you later," he said.
LATER
Noah was home alone - Daniel and Jamie were out doing whatever it is twenty-one-year olds do on a Friday night. Drinking, dancing, dating... other things starting with D. Douching? No, that's not one.
As usual, Noah had stripped out of his school uniform as soon as he got home. He loved being naked around the house and undressing in the hall or the kitchen and then depositing his clothes in the downstairs laundry basket was a lovely thrill.
Despite this lackadaisical attitude towards exposing his body, Noah maintained a relatively tight circle of people who actually knew about his nudism. Noah had just finished stripping when the doorbell rang and he knew who it was, so he approached the door without shame or concealment. Scott the window cleaner was there and asked for a peek before accepting his money.
"You're still pretty smooth down there," Scott observed.
It was ironic that he was slightly embarrassed for looking. Scott had seen Noah's shorts fall down in the park the day after he'd been shaved. He'd let Scott get a closer look too but it was still embarrassing to be reminded of his lack of hair. Noah blushed and handed over the window cleaning money.
"Its growing back a little bit," Noah defended himself.
"I like it," Scott confessed with a little more confidence. "You know, I still watch the video of you."
Noah was trying to hide behind the door so his neighbours didn't see him but also because it was cold outside and his penis was shrining.
"Video?" Noah asked.
He was thinking of the one he's made nearly four months ago when he'd jerked off for a Live-Me on Sextr. If Scott had found it, other boys he knew might find it.
"The one I recorded of you jerking off? It's so hot," Scott confessed.
Noah relaxed a little. He remembered now that two months ago he'd been spanked naked in the living room by his big brother and then exposed to the entire window cleaning family; thereafter, Scott had recorded him cumming in his bedroom. Scott said he wouldn't show the video to anyone and hoped he would keep the promise.
"Well I don't have time for an encore," Noah joked.
"Maybe another time?" suggested Scott, nudging the door just enough to see Noah naked.
Noah's penis was tiny from the December cold that had seemed in through the open door. Noah's balls had risen too and with his short pubes, he looked humiliatingly juvenile for a teenager.
"I'd like that," Noah agreed.
Noah had been hanging out naked since school finished that afternoon and continued to do so when evening fell and Jamie and Daniel had left the building. Jamie had looked really hot - dressed to impress - and Noah reflected on the spectrum boys he'd been intimate with.
Philippe, Toby, Mateo, Ronan, Dural, Jasper, Scott and Jamie.
He crossed the first two names off the list but that still left plenty of choice when it came to boys right now. Jamie was the only person he'd had sex with - rather Jamie had had sex with him - but he'd fooled around with the others and was excited by their carnal familiarity.
Noah, Ronan and Matty coordinated their plans using their WhatsApp group and Noah waited for them to arrive by having a shower and wearing a towel. Ronan arrived first but Matty arrived ten minutes later; when Matty walked into the living room he high fived Ronan and turned back to Noah.
"Does he know..." Mateo tried to ask diplomatically.
"That I don't usually wear the towel? Yes," Noah replied. "We shouldn't have secrets, right? We can tell each other anything."
<<Not everything. He's lying. You can never tell them about me. Or else...>>
Mateo and Ronan knew about Noah's interest in nudism and he had shared some details with each of them about the opportunities he had been exploring via Sextr.
"Agreed. Now loss the towel," Matty asked.
Noah didn't even hesitate to pull the edge of the towel that he'd tucked in, loosening the towel until it fell to his feet. His penis was short and stubby...
<>
...with short but soft stubble just above it. Matty looked at Ronan to see his reaction but Ronan was quite passive about the sight of their naked sixteen-year-old friend. Matteo was much less nonchalant – he was beaming with barely contained excitement.
"Remember last time I saw you naked in your house and I asked if you were embarrassed about your short pubes?" Mateo asked.
"Yea," Noah answered.
"And you said no because gay guys like smooth boys?" Matty enquired and Noah nodded; "Did you shave them off because Ronan likes smooth boys?"
Noah realised that Mateo thought he and Ronan were an item. It was a reasonable guess after Ronan tried to make an excuse for the shaved crotch.
"No, Ronan had nothing to do with this," Noah replied while stroking his silky tummy. "Well, I mean... he was there, but it wasn't his idea."
"Why don't you come here and sit down," Mateo suggested; "Then you can tell me all about it."
Noah sat on the sofa and Mateo casually put a hand on Noah's knee.
<>
"Did you and Ronan fool around?" asked Matty.
"Please don't get jealous..." Noah started to say.
He had enough problems with Toby's mood without another rift in the group.
"Jealous? No way, I'm just asking because I'd like to watch," Mateo said excitedly.
Ronan smiled from across the room, enjoying Mateo's libido, Noah's nudity and the subtle stroking of Mateo's hand on Noah's bare skin. Noah looked like divine.
<<It's like an angel had a baby with another angel.>>
"Oh, cool," Noah answered with relief.
"So now you can tell me about the shaving?" Matty prompted.
Noah explained about Halloween; starting with Daniel persuading him to go naked to the party, wearing his birthday suit as a costume, and the wackiness that ensued thereafter. Serving alcohol miniatures at the door, then Ronan arriving, getting shaved by Atif (Dan's friend) so he looked even more the part of the birthday-suited boy. Mateo couldn't believe that Noah didn't get a hard-on during the process.
"I'm getting hard just hearing about it," Mateo admitted.
"Really, let's see?" asked Ronan cheekily.
<<Not a chance in hell. He's got standards.>>
"Maybe later," Mateo answered, adding a wink.
<>
Matty loved hearing about the shaving and particularly enjoyed the multiple times Noah was caught naked by an ever-escalating number of boys. Noah moved on to the part of the story where he answered the door naked to three seventeen-year-old boys but left out the finer detail of who they were - rivals from another school.
"Did you know them?" Mateo asked animatedly.
"Nope," Noah lied.
<>
"Would have been better if they'd known you," Matty mused; "Though there's something exciting about total strangers our own age seeing you butt naked."
Noah wondered how delighted Matty would have been with Noah's humiliation if he knew the teenagers were from Dukeskettle Comprehensive School. Noah's eyes caught movement and he saw that Mateo was stroking his cock through the fabric of his chinos. Ronan also had an erection, though he remained a safe distance away. Mateo also slid his hand up Noah's thigh until his fingers brushed Noah's scrotum but ventured no farther - he was cock-teasing. Mateo seemed to enjoy the silkyness of Noah's skin and Noah remained impressively not aroused. Well, he was half aroused - his penis having grown from a stubby two inches to a fat and chubby four inches. Still, his resistance against Matty's efforts was impressive.
"So, there I was totally naked and freshly shaved in front of my brother and his friends and now three boys my own age," Noah continued; "Then they wanted a photo..."
"Fuck me!" Mateo exclaimed; "You let them take naked pictures of you?"
Mateo stopped touching his dick before he came in his chino's - the night had just started and he wanted to save his ejaculate for a spectacular orgasm.
"Yes, I let them take nude pics of me," Noah replied.
Noah laid a gentle hand on Mateo's groin. He could feel a hard, pulsating cock trapped beneath the layers of fabric – just waiting to be released.
"What happened next?" Mateo asked eagerly.
"I was embarrassed but I agreed, thinking I could cover my dick but they wouldn't let me cover anything," Noah lamented.
"Oh my god, that is so hot. How were you not humiliated?" Maty wondered.
"I loved it. They told me to put my arms around them so I was totally on display," Noah continued.
As mortifying as it had been, it had been exciting and was a wank-bank memory to last a lifetime.
"You saw all this?" Mateo asked Ronan.
"Yea," Ronan replied succinctly.
<>
"Then I started to get hard," Noah said and blushed profusely.
Mateo's hand rewarded Noah for that revelation by fondling his balls and sliding up the half-hard shaft. Before Noah could finish his story, he was fully hard and Matty was jerking him off. As was his norm, his cock was leaking pre-cum and dribbling messily on Mateo's hand and Noah's abdomen.
"They took even more pictures of me as I boned up and then with an erection. Of course, it was leaking all over the place," Noah added.
Noah was turned on by his own narrative and moaned from the retelling - or maybe because Mateo was jerking him with Ronan spectated.
"Like this?" Mateo asked; he held up a slime covered hand.
"Yes. Then, once I was hard, some bright spark had the idea to measure me so they got a tape measure and even photographed that," Noah said.
"How big are you?" Mateo asked curiously.
"Six and one fifth inches," Ronan contributed.
<<Are you feeling left out, Ronan?>>
Ronan resisted the urge to tell Herman (the voice) to shut up – the voice rarely took heed of Ronan anyway.
"Fuck, you're the one who measured it, aren't you?" Mateo asked enviously.
Ronan nodded and then chuckled at Mateo's awed expression.
"Please tell me you jerked off for them too?" Mateo implored.
"Actually, yes," Noah answered and Mateo hooted happily; "But I didn't let them film that."
"Shame," Matty lamented.
"I leaked pre-cum all over my toes and when I came, it covered my hands and landed on my feet and I wiped it on my tummy," Noah completed the tale.
"You're amazing, Noah," Matty proclaimed. "I'm so envious you got to see it live, Ronan. I feel left out."
Although he was green with envy, he wasn't ungracious about it. Matty was delighted to have been regaled with the details of the tale. Still, Noah felt a bit bad that Matty had missed out but he had an idea that might appease his friend.
"Maybe I can make it up to you?" Noah suggested.
"Now you're talking," Matty said.
"Let me show you something," Noah said.
He used his iPad to log in to Sextr and then cast it onto the TV in the living room. Noah navigated his privately saved files rather than his blog and located a very short video clip that had been taken down multiple times.
"Mateo, remember I told you I did a naked Live-Me on Sextr?" Noah enquired.
"Fuck you, have you got it?" Mateo delightedly squeezed Noah's arm.
"You did a naked Live-Me?" Ronan asked.
<<There is a god and he liked naked boys!>>
"God must love naked boys if he made you so beautiful," Ronan observed.
<>
"That is the sweetest thing," Mateo said, taking Ronan's hand and holding it for a moment.
<>
"That really is nice, Ronan. Thanks," Noah agreed.
<>
"Anyway, back to the subject of naked videos. Noah?" Mateo prompted.
"It keeps getting taken down for obvious reasons but I found this edited clip that you might like," Noah said; "This keeps finding it's way back onto Sextr blogs."
Noah started the clip which was only seventeen seconds long:
Noah appeared on screen. He was close to the camera and swept a hand through his hair so his almost hairless armpit was exposed.
"Ok... I know I said I'd show a bit more but... Fuck, what am I doing?"
Noah's skinny, bare, hairless torso was clammy and heaving. His nipples were gorgeous round buttons near the bottom of the massive TV screen. The HD quality of Noah's exposure was exquisite.
"Oh shit, I don't know if I should do this. Nearly five hundred strangers are watching me strip and..."
Mateo and Ronan's eyes were glued to the screen and their ears heard a tremble in Noah's voice.
"I'm going to be completely naked and I'm only fifteen... Fuck it."
Noah now filled the whole TV screen - only his lower legs missing from view as Noah tossed the briefs away and was totally naked online to who knew how many strangers. Noah's penis was almost flaccid - a neat and chubby three inches but it inflated so the foreskin retracted. A glistening eye blinked a trickle of precum.
"Oops."
The clip ended but whoever had edited it had looped the moment Noah's penis had been revealed, thus replaying the same six seconds multiple times:
"I'm going to be completely naked and I'm only fifteen... Fuck it."
"I'm going to be completely naked and I'm only fifteen... Fuck it."
"I'm going to be completely naked and I'm only fifteen... Fuck it."
"You put that online!?" exploded Mateo with awe and admiration.
"Then I jerked off. I sat in my chair with my legs spread and wanked but I've not seen the whole clip on Sextr," Noah admitted.
He was certain many dirty pervs had the complete tableau but perhaps it was circulating in exclusive circles.
"I am so turned on. Are you turned on?" Matty asked Ronan.
"Always," Ronan replied concisely.
<<Did you see Noah's balls in that clip? Oh, we can see them right now. Put them in your mouth Ronan. Put them in your mouth right now.>>
"Can I kiss you?" Matty asked.
Noah answered that by leaning in and kissing Mateo's lips. Their tongues engaged and Noah felt Matty's hands on his hips, pulling him closer. The kiss broke and both teenagers were breathless. Ronan remained where he was, distant and almost disengaged.
"Can I kiss you too?" Mateo asked Ronan.
Ronan was almost surprised by the request – he shouldn't have been, the mutual sexual interest between all three was obvious - but he nodded.
<<Maybe he means kiss you goodnight so he can have Noah to himself?>>
Mateo released his contact with Noah and danced to where Ronan was sitting, pulling him to his feet so he could wrap arms around him. Mateo was a passionate boy, his kisses full of pleasure (and tongue) and his hands stroked Ronan's sides and then his beefy arms.
"We should..." Matty addressed the room though he was still intimately close to Ronan; "We should take this upstairs."
Noah missed the squeeze Mateo gave Ronan's cock, but Ronan felt himself rise with excitement.
<<WOW! Having friends is fun.>>
"We don't need to go upstairs," Noah flirted.
He spread his legs, opening his creamy and smooth thighs, and gave his cock a nice jerk. Matty and Ronan watched the action and they let it go on because both appreciated the risk of Noah masturbating in his own living room. Someone could look in the window or his brother could come home - all the same reasons that excited Noah were the reasons that motivated the boys to go upstairs.
"Let's go to your bedroom where we'll be more comfortable," Ronan said, breaking the spell.
The two clothed boys followed Noah upstairs - his pert and naked cheeks and hairless hole were like a siren call. When Noah reached his bedroom door, he stepped inside the room but turned back to his friends.
"I have a no clothes policy. If you come in, you need to get naked," Noah said.
Ronan and Matty checked each other out, nodded, and then stepped inside.
Matty and Ronan wasted no time in getting shirtless. Mateo was thin and his Mediterranean skin was a few shades darker Noah's. Mateo had a bronze skin tone and was quite smooth – though no-one could be as disgracefully hairless and Noah.
Ronan was the tallest of the three boys, enjoyed muscles developing everywhere which made him look handsome and almost hunky. Ronan's brown skin was a shade darker than Matty's and was peppered with black hair in the middle of his surprisingly muscular chest. Wiry, black hair trickled from Ronan's chest into a pleasure trail that tricked into his nest of pubes.
<>
Ronan laughed Herman's joke but it was well timed and didn't seem peculiar because Mateo had looked at Ronan and giggled with glee. Ronan blushed, unsure if he was being laughed at but that question was answered a second later by Mateo pressing his body against him. Matty slid arms up Ronan's naked back and they kissed again. Ronan could feel his heart hammer against Matty's; it felt like a cannon.
<<Cannon to the left of them, cannon to the right of them, cannon in front of them, volley'd and thunder'd.>>
Ronan slipped his tongue into Matty's mouth and at the same moment felt hands interfere with his jeans, which popped open. Noah was beside Ronan while Matty kissed; Noah pulled Ronan's jeans down and helped wrestle his feet out of them.
<<Careful you don't blow you cannon too early.>>
The voice laughed mockingly at the idea of Ronan ejaculating prematurely. Still he kissed Mateo, a friend and nothing more until tonight. What about after tonight? Ronan next felt his bare leg brush against Matty's naked leg - Noah had already helped free Mateo from his chinos. Now Ronan and Matty were pressed together only in their boxers and the thin material gave away their respective excitements which rubbed against each other.
Noah just loved watching his friends kiss and the frottage was a nice touch too but he wanted in on the action. Since he was naked, and the other boys still had boxers on, Noah took the opportunity to seduce and distract them. Noah stood behind Mateo and press himself against Matty's back. Matty felt Noah's messy hard-on against his skin and quivered and chuckled with delight.
Noah kissed the back of Mateo's neck and eased his hands to his friends' boxer shorts. Noah slowly pushed the waistband until he could see the crack of Mateo's ass and the neat little mounds of his buttocks. The underwear lowered still farther until they were beneath Mateo's arse and his cock sprang free at the front.
Matty's erection bounced back up between Ronan's legs and the head of his hard penis nuzzled the underside of Ronan's scrotum. Noah finally pushed the underwear all the way down, knelt to help Matty step out of them and then kissed the small of Matty's back where he had left silvery streaks of pre-cum.
It was time to attend to Ronan.
Ronan could feel Mateo's cock between his legs and pushing against his underwear where his balls sat heavily in the seat of the boxers. Noah positioned himself behind Ronan, who was getting breathless from his facetime with Mateo, and rubbed his cock against Ronan's ass and back. Ronan delighted in the sensation of the sticky and slobbery cock polishing the small of his back and Noah felt pleasure flowing through his cock head such that he imagined shooting all over Ronan's bare back.
However, Noah resisted and instead pulled Ronan's underwear down with less ceremony than Matty's. Noah stoked Ronan's ankles where the hair on his legs thinned to nothing and then took the underwear away. Noah gave them a deep, long sniff – damp, musky, earthy - and then discarded it.
"Ok, boys..." Noah said.
Noah admired the explosion of pubes above Mateo's big balls and cock which was six inches. When Noah had first seen it, he thought it was bigger than his but now Noah rather thought his was bigger. Noah and Mateo had sixty-nined last time but that wasn't going to work this time.
Noah also admired Ronan's cock too which was just under six inches long but girthy. Noah was contemplating the array of options available to them as a party of three.
"Who wants to suck my dick?" Noah finally decided what to say.
He had decided he might as well make a contest out of his friend's interests and moved towards the bed where Matty and Ronan followed.
<<Can you believe Cockermouth is actually a real place in North West England?>>
Ronan was bewildered by the non sequitur that had been whispered in his ear – he wondered about the mind that thought those words and doubted it was the process of a rational mind. Ronan wished he had someone to talk to about it but he was scared to tell anyone.
Ignoring the voice, Ronan surged forward and gripped Noah's hips. He kissed Noah's lips as until they got to the bed and then Noah sat; Ronan's hands were still on Noah's hips, eager to move towards the centre where he could grab some ass or dick.
Ronan dropped to his knees and took a hold of Noah's cock, easing the stiff organ into his mouth.
<<Cockapoo is a cute dog with a funny name. Cocker Spaniels are clever dogs but I tried to teach one to read once and it just didn't get it.>>
Ronan's mouth was thankfully too busy to pay any attention to the disorganised ramblings of the would-be comedian talking nonsense in his head. Ronan was relieved to feel Mateo stand beside him, placing a hand on his ass and sliding it into the crack between his cheeks.
Ronan continued to give Noah a blowjob while sticking his ass out and shuffling back until he was posed doggy style. He entertained the possibility of Mateo fucking him but that seemed too ambitious for a first intimate encounter.
"Oh fuck, Ronan," said Noah - sounding very pleased with his oral pleasure.
Matty meanwhile was circling Ronan's ass with the tip of his finger and occasionally pressing the hole gently with the pad of his finger; the sphincter enjoyed a springy response until Matty worked up to pressing a finger into the hole. The tip of his finger slipped in and Ronan's ass tightened around Mateo's finger.
"Stop. Ronan, please stop," pleaded Noah.
Ronan was sure he'd been doing a good job but no means no so he stopped sucking and looked up at Noah's exquisite face.
"Fuck, I was about to cum," Noah complained.
"And that's a bad thing?" asked Mateo.
"I don't want to yet," confessed Noah and then noted; "We should give you some attention."
Mateo was about to be embarrassed that he wasn't rock hard - his penis was engorged and remained long but it flopped down – firm and swollen but not yet hard and hot. Ronan shuffled around on his hands and knees and tiled his face up to the dangling meat.
Mateo bit his lip as his dick was taken into Ronan's mouth and it started to get hard again. By the time it was sticking straight out, Noah was also on his knees and kissing the shaft while Ronan worked on the head.
"This isn't a competition, right? 'Cause I can't wait to come. I want to cum so hard," Mateo confessed.
"Tell us when you're ready, I want you to cum on my face," Noah said.
<<He's filthy. I like him.>>
Matty put a hand on Noah and Ronan's heads as they combined their mouths to suck his dick. Ronan's mouth was so warm and wet; Matty wondered what an ass was like? What would it be like to fuck another boy? That wasn't going to happen this time.
"Oh, Ronan... Oh, Noah... Oh, shit..." Matty said inarticulately; "I'm going to cum."
Ronan released Mateo's cock from his mouth and Matty swivelled around to face Noah. Matty grabbed his cock and jerked his dick a few times. Mateo's cock was wet with spit, lubricated so that his and slid over the shaft and spewed hot spunk into Noah's face. Noah closed his eyes just in time as the cock spat in his eye, his nose, his lips and his chin.
Noah wiped his eye with his thumb, sweeping up the cum and offering it to Ronan, who was upright and sat on his haunches. Ronan was also jerking his cock but opened his mouth to accept a taste of Mateo's cum from the source. Matty giggled up and down as the sensitive head of his climactic cock was sucked. The head was clean in a few seconds and Ronan immediately moved his mouth to engulf Noah's thumb. Sucking Noah's thumb, Ronan looked at his friend's face covered in jizz - it was a stimulating image.
"You can cum on my face too if you want?" Noah offered.
Mateo tittered at the idea and helped Ronan to stand - then he took over wanking duties, jerking Ronan's cock for him. Ronan rather enjoyed the feel of someone else stroking him. Matty's hands were warm but smaller than Ronan's, the grip was different, the places where he squeezed and the pace he used to stoke all created a different experience.
Noah leaned in and Ronan thought that he was going to suck while Matty stroked; that was on Noah's mind but first he just breathed hot and horny air on that fat glans. Even the feel of respiration on his cock made Ronan shudder. While Mateo used a thumb to wipe droplets of precum over the head, Noah finally leaned in and kissed the one eye.
Ronan thrust forward, nearly fucking Noah's nostril in the progress. He looked down at Noah, on his knees, and saw a phenomenal spew of precum exude from Noah's gorgeous cock. Then Ronan's eyes travelled to Noah's pretty face, framed with blonde hair. Noah's face was still coated in splodges of Matty's cum.
Matty meanwhile picked up the pace with his strokes, cupping Ronan's furry balls with his other hand until the inevitable happened. The outcome occurred a minute later when Ronan ejaculated on Noah's face; his cum mixing with Matty's to create a swimming pool of sperm. Matty would have squeezed every drop out of Ronan's cock but Noah leaned in to kiss and lick up the dregs of sludge as they escaped the urethra. Finally, Matty let go of his friends cock and kissed Ronan on the lips.
<<Tell him to kiss Noah. Look at Noah's disgusting face.>>
Ronan didn't think the jizz covered faced looked disgusting at all. He was fascinated by the idea of kissing it.
"Why don't you kiss Noah?" Ronan suggested.
"I'm not kissing him while his face looks like that," Mateo replied with a laugh.
"I'll kiss you while your face looks like that," Ronan offered Noah with a salacious look.
"Go on then," Noah said because he's been about to wipe his face with a towel.
<<You're gross. Disgusting. Filthy. Freak.>>
Ronan pursed his lips and met Noah's with affection - there was a salty-sweet taste to Noah's lips but it wasn't unpleasant and as the kiss continued and they turned their heads, jizz transferred from nose to nose and cheek to cheek.
"What are we going to do about you?" Ronan whispered to Noah when they parted.
"I'm open to suggestions," Noah replied.
Ronan looked at Matty and Matty looked back, both contemplating a plan of action.
"I'll suck his balls and finger his ass, you suck his cock," Matty suggested enthusiastically.
"Ok," Ronan agreed.
<<You didn't even barter.>>
Noah wiped the worst of the cum away with a discarded t-shirt; realising too late that it wasn't his t-shirt. Noah lay on the bed and bent his knees so Matty could get on the bed too and put his face between Noah's legs. He slipped one testicle into his mouth, feeling the smooth orb within. Noah's scrotum was still almost hairless and while Matty worked to press a finger past his own face and into Noah's ring, Ronan pressed his face over Noah's abdomen to take his cock.
The combination of efforts was deadly. Noah prided himself on resistance to boning-up too soon but now that he was hard and getting a blow job and getting his ass fingered while having his balls sucked, he was unable to hold back.
"Fucking hell," cried Noah.
Noah was filled with delight.
Ronan enjoyed the feel of a stiff organ in his mouth.
Matty was intrigued by the leathery sensation of Noah's balls and the feel of the rigid ring closing around his finger.
Ronan worked his face up and down while Matty found his mouth slobbering over Noah's balls and then down the perineum. He had never kissed an ass before but his mouth was getting so close to Noah's hole that he couldn't resist experimenting. Matty's tongue pressed against the hole, licking over it with lolling swiped and then nudging it's way inside the hole.
Noah could feel Matty's face between his ass cheeks and the sensation of Ronan giving him a blowjob was just too much.
"Oh, I am going to..." Noah said but he couldn't finish the sentence.
Ronan could have moved his head so Noah came on himself but he'd made quite a mess of himself already. Besides, Ronan wanted to swallow the cum – he had discovered a liking for the taste of boy juice when he was in Catholic school and missed the opportunity to drink the spunky deluge. The final ozzing dregs made a mess of Noah's abdomen but Noah liked his messy cock and liked making a mess of himself.
They hardly had time to catch a breath before a noise interrupted them - a phone was ringing.
"Shit, that'll be my dad," Matty said.
Matty scrambled for his phone, answered it just in time and told his dad he'd be out in a few minutes.
"My dad's here to get me," Mateo reported.
"I thought you were staying over? You can stay if you want." Noah suggested.
Matty was very tempted – who knew what else they'd get up to if they had a round two? Matty frivolously wondered if he could loss his virginity or fuck one of his friends. Sadly, that wasn't an option tonight.
"No can do. My dad says the same rules apply to me as my sister, no boys in the bedroom," Mateo chuckled as he pulled on his chinos.
"He knows you're bisexual?" Ronan asked.
"Well... I've not actually told him or mum but yea, I think they know. Shit!" Mateo exclaimed.
"What?" asked Noah.
"If they don't know yet, they will when they see two loads of cum on my t-shirt," Mateo moaned.
Noah had wiped his face with Matty's t-shirt by mistake.
"Whoops," Noah replied.
"Never mind. I'll cover it up and do my own washing tomorrow," Mateo replied; "I need to go."
He kissed Ronan and Noah and raced for the bedroom door just as his dad called again.
"When shall we three meet again?" Ronan asked.
Mateo turned back and smiled excitedly.
"In thunder, lighting or in rain. Or in Noah's living room, Noah's bedroom or... eh..." Matty couldn't think of a third thing and anyway he had to answer his phone; "I'm coming dad. I'm coming."
"You already came," Noah shouted.
Matty shot him a scandalised look but it was purely theatrical – he'd already hung up.
"Good night, guys," Matty said.
Matty closed the bedroom door and the remaining boys heard Noah's front door close. They looked out the window to see Matty race for his dad's car, leaving Ronan and Noah alone and naked.
"I had sex," Noah said suddenly.
Ronan was struck dumb by the admission.
"Congratulations?" Ronan said uncertainly because he didn't know what else to say.
<>
Noah chuckled at his own clumsiness.
"Sorry, I wasn't boasting or anything... well, maybe a little," Noah confessed.
"With Mateo?" Ronan asked shyly.
<<Are you jealous?>>
"Sex with Matty? No, not him... I shouldn't say who," Noah realised; "I was actually thinking maybe we could... you know."
<<You lucky bastard. You're not worthy. You should do it, stud.>>
Ronan found Noah's attention surprising and distracting and the voice in his head didn't help. It made everything complicated and he worried because he didn't know where it came from; what if he gave it to Noah if they had sex?
<<I'm not an STI, you prick.>>
"I'd like to..." Ronan replied; "But..."
"It's ok," Noah interrupted breezily; "Just think about it, ok? Consider it a standing offer."
Noah really seemed to want to have sex with Ronan and he was surprised by the attention of such a beautiful boy. Ronan was unsure about having sex with Noah – it didn't feel right yet. Partly because sex was a big step but also because Noah had said "we shouldn't have secrets," just a few hours ago. Ronan was thinking about his biggest secret as he pulled on his t-shirt. He wanted to be honest with Noah – if he could tell anyone about the voice, it was Noah.
<<Talking about me is bad. It's not nice to talk about people, you know.>>
The voice would always make him feel guilty about talking him. Yet other people were honest - he already was in other ways. Ronan had come out. Noah was out, Matty was out and even Samir had come out. Honest was not Ronan's problem - fear and doubt were.
"I have a secret," Ronan blurted out.
<<Don't you fucking dare, mate.>>
Noah was surprised into silence and he looked at Ronan expectantly.
"Are you going to tell me what your secret is or do you just want me to know you have one?" Noah joked.
Noah watched Ronan and expected him to laugh, so when he didn't Noah grew concerned.
"Sorry. I was only joking, Ronan. Are you ok? Do you want to tell me your secret?" Noah asked gently and sincerely.
"I do," Ronan said.
<<If you do, I'll throw you down the stairs.>>
The voice didn't threaten others, it did worse than that - it preyed on Ronan's fears. Did the invisible voice have that kind of power over him? Ronan didn't know... could it really hurt him or make him hurt himself?
<>
"Have you ever had a secret that you want to tell someone but you don't know if you can?" Ronan asked seriously.
"Yes, I think I know," Noah admitted. "I have a secret like that too, Ronan."
Noah hadn't planned to say anything to Ronan - yet they had been friends for a few months now and Noah liked him. Noah didn't need preamble or foreshadowing to reveal his secret. Besides, it might help Ronan feel safe enough to share his secret.
Noah didn't want to Know Ronan's secret for his own self-edification, he wanted to know because it seemed to be bothering Ronan and he wanted to help his friend. Noah could see Ronan was struggling internally so he spoke gently to reassure him.
"It's ok if you need more time, Ronan. It can be hard to tell people things but you can tell me anything and if you need more time, it's ok," Noah said softly.
<<He's lying Noah's a liar he's just glad you're not talking you shouldn't talk to him don't talk to anyone he's bad very bad tell him nothing wicked tricksy false.>>
The words of the voice ran together until they were indistinguishable and then less of a voice than a buzz in his ear that was easier to ignore. It would stay quiet as long as he didn't try to tell Noah. They fell into an awkward silence but Noah reached over and took Ronan's hand.
Ronan was dressed in his boxers and a t-shirt; Noah was still casually naked. There was no sexual chemistry to their intimacy now; it was all about who they were deep down.
"How about I tell you something?" Noah said reservedly. "Can I tell you a secret, Ronan?".
"Yes, Noah. You can tell me if you want. You can tell me anything," Ronan replied but he was ashamed that he hadn't been able to tell Noah his secret.
"I only tell people I can trust. I only tell my friends this thing because... because I don't like to talk about it or even think about it most of the time," Noah confessed.
"What is it?" Ronan asked with concern for his friend.
"It's about my mum... You know she's not around?" Noah asked.
Noah mentioned his dad or brother but never his mum. Ronan hadn't really given it much thought.
"Yes, I know it's just your dad and brother," Ronan agreed.
"Well, there's a reason she isn't around," Noah continued; "She's in prison."
Noah looked so sad and ashamed and Ronan just wanted to hug him.
"What did she do?" Ronan asked.
Noah took a few seconds to answer because it was always hard to say the next part:
"She killed a man."
Next week, chapter 14, will be the last until mid-January 2021. I hope you look forward to it.
