Brother's Mate
Chapter 16
Once all four members of the family were sitting in the lounge with their coffee or juice John began, "Alex, I realise that this idea has taken a bit of a hold on you but I want you both to think about it carefully before you make a decision. Also remember that the decision you make will not be binding and you can reverse it whenever you want. Now I'm guessing I won't be far wrong to think that you guys have probably tried a bit of nudity in the house when you've been home alone. I know when I was your age I did it, and maybe your mother did too, but we are not going to ask her to answer that." John smiled at Alexander as he saw his eyes light up at the suggestion and then a slight frown appear when John quashed what he could see was about to happen. Then he continued; "Now I think that you both need to know that your decision on whether you want to sometimes be naked somewhere other than the bathroom or your bedrooms is your decision and your decision alone. No one is going to force you or even try to persuade you to do something you don't really want to do. But like there was with using the tent there are a few rules that will apply. No nudity when we have company or are expecting someone to arrive soon. No nudity outside the house and no answering the door when naked even if you know who it is at the door. If you get excited you will be expected to leave the public areas of the house and get it sorted one way or another. Your mother and I both know that both of you masturbate so if that's the way you choose to sort it; you shouldn't feel embarrassed about it. If you're not sure if you want to go naked you might want to try a short trip between your bedroom and the bathroom. If you don't want your mother to see you naked then don't go naked when she's around. It's as simple as that. Do you want to add anything to that Rose?"
"Well the only thing that I thought was that they might want to try just going around in their underwear first and see how that feels. I know it is not really different than going topless for boys but there's still that something about it being underwear and not a swimming costume or shorts." Rose said.
"Is there anything you two want to ask or say?" John asked the two boys.
"Yeah, I would like to know how you two really feel about it. I mean I know you aren't going to go naked mum because you told us that earlier and well if dad goes naked sometimes it won't make a lot of difference because he's the one person in this family that all of us have seen naked at some time or other. But what do you really feel about having your teenage sons parading around the house with nothing on?" Callum asked.
"I've got mixed feelings," Rose began, "I'd like it very much as it would show that my sons are comfortable enough in their relationship with me to bare all. Also after seeing Alex today, I have to admit to a bit of curiosity as to whether we have two boys or two men for children; while on the other hand I don't want this to become something of a circus or worse still something that raises questions with our friends and neighbours. This is one reason why you will have to keep it strictly to inside the house and only when there are no others than us four here."
"Like your mum, I like it that you feel you don't need to hide your body and level of development from your parents. Of course I've seen more of you than your mother has in recent years so really I'm quite comfortable with the idea. But the concern your mother has just raised is an important one and I must insist that you keep that in mind all the time you're naked in the house if that is what you choose." John reinforced Rose's words.
"What if we have just special friends like Brad and Dom who have already seen us naked in the tent. Do we still have to wear clothes when they are around?" Alexander asked.
"I guess not if you're in your rooms or the bathroom but anywhere else, yes, we would like you to wear clothes." John said. He knew that in their own rooms they would probably all be naked at times considering the type of relationship they had with each other and so he gave them that leeway.
"So are you going to go naked Cal?" Alexander asked.
"I still haven't had enough time to think about it. Maybe I'll try one of the suggestions first." Callum answered.
"You mean like walk naked to the bathroom like you already did?" Alexander asked again.
"Yeah, like that. Or maybe just be in underwear." Callum answered.
"Just remember there is no pressure for either of you to do anything different to what you're already doing now." John reminded them. "Now I think you guys need to spend some time thinking about this by yourselves so we need to end this discussion and go onto something else. How was your training today Callum?"
"It was quite tough. We haven't done any training for nearly a week and I've had a bit less sleep than usual on top of that." Callum admitted.
The conversation from then on, for the rest of the evening was as normal as it got, in that household. Alexander was sent off to get his shower and get ready for bed first on the understanding that as it was half term and there were still a few days of the week left he could stay up longer than he was allowed to on school nights. When he came down from his shower he had but one piece of clothing on and that was his sleeping shorts. Callum also appeared in sleeping shorts but had put a t shirt on as well. Later on when they went up to bed they both went to their own rooms but moments later Alexander was knocking on Callum's door and when given permission to enter he showed that he had shed his sleeping shorts before coming to the door.
"You're really keen on this nudity idea aren't you?" Callum asked.
"Yeah, I think it's cool and sexy and knowing that mum's already seen me naked makes it a bit easier, especially as she didn't tease me about it." Alexander said.
"Well don't ask me again. I need to think about it more than you seem to need to do. You'll see my decision when I make it." Callum told Alexander.
"Okay, but can I ask you how you feel about me doing it?" Alexander asked.
"I guess you can, seeing as you just did. Like dad said, it's each of ours decision to make for ourselves. I'll respect your decision just as I'd like you to respect mine." Callum told him.
"Well I hope you decide to go naked because I like looking at your body with nothing hiding you. I think you've a great body and hope that my body gets to look as good as yours does." Alexander told him.
"You've nothing to be ashamed of the way you are now. Sure you'll get more muscle definition as you get bigger and stronger but you're a great looker now and yes especially when naked." Callum reassured him.
"Thanks Cal, you're the coolest and bestest big brother anyone could wish for." Alexander said and gave his brother a hug
"And you put all the other pesty younger brothers to shame too. I love you, my little brother." Callum said, returning the hug. "Now I need to catch up on some of my beauty sleep. Goodnight my friend."
"Goodnight Cal. I love you too." Alexander said and went back to his own room where he climbed into bed and although he had thought of having a wank didn't because he fell asleep before he could get that far.
Rose allowed both boys to sleep in until they woke naturally the next day. She knew that with the sleepover they had not had as much sleep as they were used to and sleeping alongside others had also meant their sleep would not have been as restful or restorative as they normally got. Alexander was the first to wake up and deciding that he needed to pee more urgently than he needed any form of decency he nipped from his room to the bathroom as naked as he had been when he visited Callum in his room the night before, and as naked as he had been all night. Getting rid of the excess pressure made him feel much better and he decided to carry on and get all his ablutions done while he was in the bathroom so he brushed his teeth, washed his face and combed his hair before sauntering back to his room to give the sparse hairs in his armpits a liberal coating of deodorant. By that point his stomach was grumbling and he decided that breakfast was the next order of the day. He stepped towards the door of his room when he remembered that Rose had told them that undies and a shirt were the minimum requirements for breakfast. This put him in a bit of a dilemma because if he pulled his boxers on then he would be breaking the terms of the forfeit from the sleepover. He decided that a compromise would have to do and pulled on a loose fitting pair of running shorts and a vest that was a bit short for him since he had had his last growth spurt. Now feeling suitably attired he took the stairs two at a time and landed at ground level with a thud, from leaping the last four steps in one go, that might just have been enough to wake his older brother up. As he walked into the kitchen to see what he could have for his late breakfast his mother came in from the other end as she had been in the laundry putting a load on.
"Good morning Alexander, did you have a good sleep?" Rose greeted him.
"Morning mum, yes thank you, what's there to eat?" Alexander replied.
"Well let's see. There's cereal, or you can make yourself some toast with jam and there's fruit juice in the fridge." Rose told him.
"No bacon and eggs then?" Alexander asked.
"Sorry that was only for those who were up early enough for the first sitting." Rose replied recognising that Alexander was not serious but clearly would not have refused it either.
"Well, I guess it'll have to be cereal then." Alexander responded and moved to the cupboard to get a bowl out.
While he was eating Rose came back into the kitchen and asked, "So does this mean that you have decided not to try the nudity in the house then?"
"No; but you said we had to have at least undies and a shirt on to eat so that's what I did." Alexander replied.
"Yes I did, didn't I? Well done for remembering that because we didn't mention that in our discussion last night." Rose commended Alexander.
Alexander was rinsing his empty bowl out before stacking it in the dishwasher when a more dishevelled Callum came in wearing just a pair of boxers. "What grub is there to eat?" he asked no one in particular.
"You're too late for the bacon and eggs. Mum said that was for the earlier sitting so you get to choose. Cereal or toast, both of which you do yourself. But you'll have to put a shirt on first." Alexander told him.
"A shirt; why?" Callum asked.
"Remember mum said that we had to have a minimum of undies and a shirt on to eat." Alexander reminded him.
"Oh, I thought that was just for eating at the table." Callum said.
"It might have come across like that, but I think it just looks more hygienic to be a bit covered up." Rose said, having listened to the conversation from the laundry where she had gone again while Alexander finished eating his breakfast.
"Oh okay, did you see if I had something in the laundry room that would do, or do I need to go back upstairs?" Callum asked.
"I think I've folded one of your shirts come and look." Rose told him and stepped aside for Callum to go into the laundry. For a brief moment she was a little sad that she had said they needed to have tops on for eating as she admired the body that Callum was showing her. There was no sexual desire in her, just an admiration for something of beauty. Rose was proud of her two children in many ways. They were both intelligent; both had good, toned bodies; both were choosing a nice group of friends; both were polite and very little trouble compared to what she heard from other parents at school meetings and similar occasions. She was proud that together with John they had taught and led their children to be open and honest with them and have confidence to talk to them about anything. This meant that there were few secrets and few worries.
Alexander's mobile phone rang and he quickly answered it moving out of the kitchen as he did so. Both Callum and Rose noted the change in his tone as he greeted his caller, "Hi Brad, how goes it?"
"How can he be thirteen going on eighteen already?" Callum asked his mother.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked.
"He's so much more mature than I remember being at that age. And he's sharp too. You know he easily held his own against Dom and Brad at the sleepover. Okay so Brad was already keen on him, but Dom was a bit against him and has apparently been hurting him a little, but in the tent he quickly put Dom in his place with the way he responded to things such that Dom was the first to admit that we had done right in including him in the sleepover." Callum told his mum.
"Well despite how you two were before this weekend, he's always had a good older brother to look up to and I guess he's observed you and your friends getting on so well together that he's learnt what's needed." Rose suggested.
"It can't be just down to that. I haven't been as nice an older brother as I should've been." Callum admitted to his mother.
"You've been a nicer older brother than you may possibly realise and certainly a lot nicer than many older brothers I've heard of." Rose praised her son.
Alexander came back into the kitchen and announced, "Brad's coming over and wants to go for a walk. Will that be okay?" he asked.
"Yes of course. He could stay for some lunch after your walk if he wants to." Rose said.
"What does he mean by go for a walk?" Callum asked.
"He said he needs to talk to me and going for a walk will give us that chance." Alexander told Callum.
"Ah. He wants to go for a walk with just you." Callum said.
"Yes, sorry Cal. He said he needs to talk to me privately." Alexander said, then his face fell and he asked, "You don't think he's changed his mind and doesn't want to be my boyfriend any more do you?"
"I think there's more chance of a Jew being elected as the Pope." Callum said.
"Really Callum, where on earth did you get that analogy from?" Rose asked.
"Well it's one that I can use in mixed company." Callum said as a broad grin spread across his face.
"I guess I should be grateful for that then." Rose said also smiling.
Alexander dashed upstairs and came back down a few minutes later with a polo shirt on, the same shorts and a pair of trainers without socks. He then sat down to wait for Bradley to arrive. Bradley had anticipated a favourable response and so was already part way to the Ashbourne's when he had phoned Alexander. This meant that Alexander only had to wait another ten minutes before the doorbell went and he jumped up to answer it. Callum had finished his breakfast and gone back to his room to put on some shorts over his boxers and was back downstairs to greet Bradley when Alexander let him in.
"Hi Cal, I hope you don't mind but there're some things that I need to discuss with Al and I thought it would be best if the two of us went off for a little walk together to do it. I'll see you later when we get back. Okay?" Bradley greeted Callum.
"No problem. Mum says you can stay for lunch if you want to." Callum told him.
"Thank you that would be nice. Where's your mum now?" Bradley asked.
"Probably in the laundry" Alexander suggested.
Bradley moved on through the kitchen and found Rose in the laundry where he greeted her and thanked her for the invitation to lunch accepting it so that she would know he was going to stay. After a little bit of polite conversation, he took his leave of her and the two boys set off on their walk.
"You don't have to break the rule to answer this. Was our sleepover better than ones you've had with David?" Bradley asked as they turned from the house in the direction of the park.
"It was awesome and way much better." Alexander enthused.
"Well for me it was the best sleepover I've ever had. And you're the reason for that." Bradley said.
"I don't think I did much to make it so good." Alexander responded.
"Come on. You were great. You put Dom in his place several times but each time in a way that it was clearly not spiteful even though he has not treated you the best in the past. You held your own and did what you thought was right to make sure your brother didn't look bad for asking you to join us. And best of all I discovered that I love you." Bradley told him.
"So if this talk isn't that you don't want to be my boyfriend anymore, what is it for?" Alexander came straight to the point.
"Where on earth did you get the idea that I might not want to be your boyfriend anymore? Bradly asked.
"I just thought that when you said you needed to talk to me privately it might be something like that." Alexander told him.
"It's for us to discuss exactly what we both want out of this relationship, not to end it." Bradley said. "You see I don't want us just to be together for sex things. I want it to be more than that. I want us to be friends and lovers; to be able to go for a walk without thinking that we need to get undressed and do something every time we're together. I want that too, but I want more than that." Bradley said.
"But I thought we were already friends." Alexander said. "You said I was your friend."
"Yes, I did and we are. I guess what I am trying to say is that I want us to be open with each other and if sometime one of us feels like we need some time by ourselves we can say so without the other one getting offended. If we feel we need to just be together without having any of the sex aspect, then we must be able to tell the other and have that respected." Bradley said.
"That's going to be hard. I mean, look at me now. I'm already hard just being with you." Alexander said and lifted the hem of his polo shirt up to display the tent in his shorts.
"That's okay, but it doesn't mean that we actually have to do anything sexual together every time we're together. Although I do hope we get a fair bit of it in. I just want us to not make the sex the main thing in our relationship. I want us to make each other the main thing and have a good time together even when we're not having sex." Bradley said.
By this time they had got to the park and wandered off around to the other side of the duck pond where there was a fair bit more shrubbery that provided a certain amount of privacy. They sat down on a bench and realised that they could not be seen unless someone came along the path the bench was next to as it was nestled into a large growth of dense foliage that shielded them from the sides and back and even had some overhead. There was a flower bed on the opposite side of the path which had an array of plants in it that again blocked the view from anyone standing the other side of the flower bed. They kept their voices soft and low so that you would have to be fairly close to overhear anything of their conversation too.
"So does that mean you don't want to do sex stuff today?" Alexander asked.
"No, I do, it just means that I don't want sex stuff to be the thing that controls our relationship but the thing that compliments it. The thing that makes it better" Bradley said.
"Oh, okay. I think I understand now." Alexander said and the two boys fell silent for a bit. Alexander moved his hand over and put it on Bradleys and they entwined their fingers together.
"You do understand that we're going to have to be very careful when we're out in public because not everyone is as understanding and accepting as your folks are?" Bradley asked.
"Yeah, I know that. Just look at David's parents. But we can't be seen very easily here." Alexander said.
"I know. I haven't told my parents yet either but I want you to meet them sometime soon." Bradley told him.
"You know you've forgotten something don't you?" Alexander asked with a mischievous gleam in his eye.
"What's that?" Bradley asked.
"You haven't checked if I'm obeying the forfeit today." Alexander answered.
"Well you know I don't care about that. If you want to wear undies when it's just the two of us then I'm not going to tell; so I don't need to check." Bradley said.
"But what if I want you to check?" Alexander asked.
"You mean here and now, don't you?" Bradley confirmed.
Alexander nodded his head and looked at Bradley with puppy dog eyes.
"Shit! You're going to be so fucking hard to resist." Bradley said smiling at the boy he knew he loved in a way he had never loved before.
"If you checked you'd see that I am fucking hard now." Alexander told him.
"And how do you propose I check? It would be pretty awkward if someone came along just as I had my hand down your shorts." Bradley said.
"Well maybe I should just pull my shorts down then." Alexander said and began to stand up.
"You would do that, wouldn't you?" Bradley stated. In answer Alexander did exactly that and pushed his shorts down to his knees revealing a rock hard cock bobbing in time to a heartbeat that was a bit accelerated due to his excitement at this little bit of exhibitionism. Bradley quickly reached out a hand and gave the cock on front of him a stroke before dropping both hands down to pull Alexander's shorts up again. Alexander helped him and both boys looked around again to check if they could see anyone who might have just seen Alexander's little display. "I can see I'm going to have to be very careful and keep close control on you or you'll get us both into trouble." Bradley said, but was smiling at the same time. "Come on, let's get back and take care of that hard cock of yours."
On the way home, Alexander told Bradley about their being allowed to go naked around the house and confirmed to him that he intended to do so. He explained that he was not allowed to be naked anywhere other than his bedroom or the bathroom when they had visitors but that he would certainly be happy to stay in his room with Bradley when he visited.
Rose watched them as they walked the short path to the front door and was relieved to notice that neither of them looked despondent and assumed that their private talk had gone well for both of them. Alexander used his own key to let them into the house and after greeting Rose as they passed her in the corridor took off up the stairs to find Callum and have him join them. This time all three boys went into Alexander's room and it was not long before Alexander was naked.
"You've woken the beast in my little brother I think," Callum said and chuckled.
"I can't help it if being near to Brad makes me hard and want it." Alexander protested.
"Is it being near to Brad or just near to any guy who you think you might be able to get some fun with?" Callum teased.
"Well I didn't get hard when you came in the kitchen just in your boxers," Alexander replied.
"But what if it had been Dom and not me? I don't really count because I'm your brother." Callum countered.
"But you do have a sexy body. Maybe not as sexy as Brad's but more sexy than Dom." Alexander came back with instantly.
"So If I stripped off now would that make your harder?" Callum asked.
"I think so. Do it and we'll see." Alexander responded with that mischievous gleam in his eye.
"I had better check how hard you are now and then I can check after Cal's naked and see if there's any difference." Bradly said as he reached over and took hold of Alexander's cock squeezing it and giving it a couple of pumps that got a bead of pre-cum moistening the slit as it poked slightly out of his foreskin. "Okay Cal, do your best; or should I be saying worst?"
Callum moved a little away from the bed where all three had been sitting and did a bit of a strip tease which didn't take that long as he only had three items of clothing to remove. When he finished he stood with his hands on his hips and pushed his pelvis forward putting his semi hard cock and balls the closest to the other two. Bradley reached out and gave that cock a short stroke and then went back to Alexander and ran his "hard" test again. "No, can't really tell any difference." He reported.
"Right let me check this guy out and then you can strip and we'll see if he gets any harder with you naked in front of him." Callum said. He moved back to the bed and ran virtually the same test that Bradley had on his brother's cock. Bradley took longer to strip because he had socks and shoes to remove along with his jeans and boxers and he had a T shirt on under his open necked shirt. This time Callum reached over and rubbed Bradley's cock before running his test on Alexander's cock again. "Shit, definitely harder and throbbing. I think I can feel his pulse in it." Callum told Bradley which got him grinning happily.
"I don't suppose we've much time before your mother'll be calling us for lunch and I've been longing to get to grips with this since he dropped his shorts in the park." Bradley said as he wrapped his hand around Alexander's cock. "Reckon we can do a three way suck in here?"
"It's a bit smaller than my room and definitely smaller than your room but I think we can fit in on the floor." Callum said.
The three boys got down into a triangular formation with Callum sucking Bradley's cock and Alexander sucking his brother's cock as Bradley had already laid claim to sucking on Alexander. As all three boys needed a lot more practice at it to build up their staying power, they all shot their loads fairly quickly; although they did not cum at the same time with Alexander managing to hold his orgasm off the longest; which was surprising considering he got his fill of Callum's cum first and had also been excited through being close to Bradley for some time before they started to suck. Part of the reason that Alexander lasted longer was that Bradley spent some time licking around his balls and perineum before he moved onto his cock and this put Alexander's cum a few minutes behind the other two. But once Bradley did move from licking and tickling with his tongue up the length of the underside of a very hard penis he lapped at the pre-cum that was oozing from Alexander's slit and then sucked the head in using his lip covered teeth to push the foreskin back behind the rim of the fireman's helmet. Then he circled a thumb and finger round the base of Alexander's cock to keep the foreskin retracted while he worked on the cock head with his tongue as he bobbed up and down. When Alexander did cum, it was with some power and he experienced one of his strongest orgasms. Bradley had stopped sucking and licking but still had Alexander's cock in his mouth when Rose shouted up the stairs that it was time to eat lunch.
