Brother's Mate
Chapter 41
Callum felt a little nervous as he went down the stairs with Leonid beside him. Perhaps not as nervous as Alexander was when he was going solo to Bradley's house for the first time, but there was still a little anxiousness lurking in the background. He needn't have been nervous at all as the Babkin parents were very kind and hospitable and did their best to make Callum feel comfortable. This was the first friend either of their two children had brought home from school and they were very grateful that Callum was willing to look beyond the high intelligence and younger age and see the real people their son and daughter actually were.
Viktor Babkin picked up on the nervousness immediately and held out a hand to shake Callum's, "You must be Cal, or is it really Callum? Anyway, welcome to our home. I'm Viktor and this is my better half, Nina. Please make yourself comfortable."
"Thank you. Cal or Callum, I don't mind." Callum responded but his nervousness was still apparent.
"Don't worry, we might be Russian, but we're not the KGB. In fact our family have not lived in Russia for nearly a hundred years. We have only kept our Russian heritage in our choice of names but Leonid and Alyona can't speak Russian and I think even Nina and I would struggle now as we don't speak it in the home at all. Not even when my parents are here." Viktor explained as he ushered Callum into the lounge and pointed to the sofa where all three teens sat with Callum between Alyona and Leonid.
After a short bit of conversation Nina got up saying she needed to start making some preparations towards the meal and asked Alyona to help her, leaving the three males in the lounge. There was an awkward pause of silence before Viktor asked, "How did you come to befriend Leonid? I understand you have shared the same class for a couple of years; yet you're the first person either of my children has brought home as a friend from school?"
"I think most of us have a bit of a closed mind. Or maybe we're scared of being embarrassed. Both Aly and Leo are a year ahead of their age group because of their greater intelligence. I think we older ones have been a bit scared that we would be shown up by someone who is younger than us. I've always admired Leo. He's not had it easy in our year because no one has really let him be a friend. Yeah, we've talked at times but not as friends do. But when Leo came to me with some information he thought it was important for me to know about, when he could have just spread the rumour on, he made me stop and take another look at who he is. I'm glad that I did because now I know both Leo and Aly and they're very nice people who I'm honoured to call my friends." Callum explained.
"That's very nice. Although you sound almost like you think you're explaining something to the Tsar." Viktor said with a chuckle.
"At least I can admit that I had not realised you're of Russian origin. That is one thing I only learned about after Leo had become a friend. After all he doesn't have any accent to give it away and I wouldn't have known that Babkin was a Russian name. In my ignorance I would probably have said it was Welsh or Irish." Callum had warmed to Viktor and realised he could talk with this man as an equal.
"We'll not hold that against you. Nina and I are pleased to see our children making some friends outside of the families of our friends." Viktor told Callum which made him blush a little.
"Papa, please don't tease Cal. We still want him to be our friend after tonight. You might scare him away." Leonid spoke for the first time since Nina and Alyona had left the lounge.
Callum turned to face Leonid and put a hand on his leg, "He's not scaring me at all. I'm enjoying the conversation and if you heard how my dad teases me and Al, you'd know that we can take it."
"Sorry, I just thought papa was trying to show you how intelligent we all are at your expense." Leonid said, then he turned to his dad and said, "Sorry papa."
"It's okay, Leonid, I can tell, from this little bit of conversation that we've had, that Callum is also an intelligent person. I have also noticed, Callum, that once you got over your nerves you've become quite comfortable talking with me and can hold your own. I respect that." Viktor said. "I have another question though. Are you allowed to drink alcohol at your home?"
"Not normally although dad does allow us to have a beer occasionally." Callum answered.
"You see Leonid. An intelligent and an honest answer. I like that too. So, would you like a beer now?" Viktor asked.
"I would like one, thank you." Callum answered.
"Leonid, will you do drinks for us then, please? And make sure you do your mama and sister first." Viktor asked. Then turning to Callum he asked, "What will your parents think of me offering you a beer?"
"I don't think they'll be concerned at all. If you let me get drunk they might have a problem with that. But I'll not betray my parent's trust in me and will stop at just the one beer, thank you." Callum answered.
"Ah some wisdom beyond your years, young man. You are going to be a good friend for my children to have. Perhaps sometimes you might want to stay a little longer than for just a meal?" Viktor suggested.
"That would be nice too." Callum replied.
"But I believe there are also some other boys who have shown some friendship?" Viktor asked.
"Yeah, I have some close friends and the information that Leo brought to me also concerned them. We all appreciate what both Leo and Aly did with the rumours they heard. It made all of us think a bit differently." Callum said.
"Think differently about what?" Leonid asked as he walked in with a tray with three glasses of beer on it.
"About you and your sister." Viktor answered his son causing him to blush a bit. "But you are right to think differently. Nina and I have had to do that too. We are very proud of our two children. We know that there have been some nasty rumours going around your school lately. We also know that Alyona knows one of the girls who is spreading and possibly even starting these rumours and yet they have only told us a little bit. When they discovered that there is a police investigation into this matter they refused to tell us anything more; just in case it prejudices the investigation. That is a very mature position to take."
"Yes, and it is also because we asked them to keep things quiet on the advice of our lawyer. I'm afraid that means that I, too, can't tell you anything more." Callum told him.
"And we shall not put you in a position by asking anything of you. Although it is when I hear of these things that I sometimes wish I had ties with the KGB or the Mafia and could get them to sort out the ones making things hard for people like yourself." Viktor smiled.
Their conversation then moved on to more mundane things like what Callum was doing at school and would his friends also be willing to visit Leonid and Alyona. Callum also returned questions finding out that Viktor was a senior partner in an accountancy firm and Nina was a researcher at the local university concentrating mostly on research into ancient games and past times. Later on, in conversation after the meal, Callum had been enthralled by Nina's explanation of an ancient game which is thought be a forerunner of the game of Backgammon. Leonid got out a sample of what the game was thought to have looked like and explained a bit about it telling Callum that his mother often brought home things like this for him and Alyona to try out. She said it helped her in her research to watch someone playing this sort of game as it sometimes highlighted a part of it that she had not picked up on which gave her direction in her research. Although the three teens did not get another opportunity to have any form of private conversation, Callum really enjoyed his time with the family and when Viktor took him home later in the evening he expressed his gratitude showing in his speech that he had honestly had a good visit. Leonid who had joined them for the ride home was almost bursting. The way Callum and his father had got on made him very happy. During their ride back to their home Viktor had praised his son in his choice of a friend which boosted Leonid even more and he went to bed a very happy young man.
Callum got a grilling from Alexander when he got home, much to the amusement of Rose and John. When the two boys got upstairs Callum also told Alexander about the afternoon's activities which had a naked Alexander unable to hide his rising interest. Sitting on Callum's bed with his erection pointing upwards and the gleam of the first drop of pre-cum on the tip it, Alexander couldn't control his curiosity and asked, "So was she better at doing it than us guys?"
"She knew what to do and I guess Leo's given her some good guidance, but I think a guy's got the edge on doing a guy." Callum answered.
"And you didn't mind being naked in front of her, even though she was dressed?"
"I was caught off guard at first and was about to cover up when I realised that it was actually too late. She had already seen it all so there was no point in covering up. And by the time she was feeling me I felt okay about it." Callum said.
"So, does that change how you feel about mum seeing you naked?" Alexander asked.
"I don't know. I haven't had a chance to even think about that." Callum said a little irritably. Then he apologised, "Sorry Al that sounded a bit harsh. Just give me some time. Being naked in front of our mother is not the same as being naked in front of a girl who's going to make you feel good. There's no way in hell mum is ever going to jerk me off; is there?"
"I don't know. Have you asked her?" Alexander said turning his face away so that Callum could not see the grin he had.
"I don't think even you've got the balls to ask her that, you little squirt... I think I should sort you out for even suggesting it." Callum said and leaned forward enough to be able to start tickling Alexander's sides.
Alexander began to squirm and then the giggles started and eventually he was lying the across the bed with Callum sitting astride his legs while he gave Alexander a good rib tickling. This progressed on to tickling down into the groin and finally wanking Alexander until he shot his load over his chest. Alexander lay on the bed for a short while getting his energy back and then lifting his head he checked to see what Callum's boxer shorts looked like. A smile spread across his face as he saw the tent with a damp patch at the top of the pole.
"It looks like your tepee is overflowing. Perhaps you need to drain some out of it." Alexander said. "Pass me some tissues please and then I will help you to drain it if you want."
Callum had to get off his seat astride Alexander's legs to reach the tissues. He passed the tissues over to Alexander and then picked up his dust bin and held it so that Alexander could throw the used tissues into it. Alexander sat up once he had finished wiping the cum off of himself and put his hands out to help pull Callum's boxer's down. He left them at knee height and slid his hands back up Callum's legs moving them towards the back so that he could pull Callum closer and suck his cock into his mouth. With Callum standing closer, Alexander was able to reach further around and he began to softly tickle caress Callum's bum cheeks before he moved one hand round to the front to gently fondle Callum's balls. All the while he was bobbing his head back and forth, maintaining a fairly strong suction and letting his tongue dance around Callum's cock head. Callum rested his hands on Alexander's head, but did not, at that point, use them to try and control Alexander's movements on his cock. It had been a few hours since Alyona had given Callum his second orgasm of the afternoon and so this did not delay the onset of the next orgasm.
When Alexander got his tongue against the edge of Callum's foreskin and gripping the cock a bit more tightly with lip covered teeth, he was able to push Callum's skin back beyond the rim of his fireman's helmet. Alexander then used his tongue on the underside of Callum's cock to push it against the roof of his mouth and apply some pressure to the hot spot at the fraenulum. Only then did Callum hold Alexander's head and instead of Alexander bobbing on his cock, Callum began to move his hips and face fuck his little brother. But that was not for long because he was already falling over the edge when he took hold of Alexander's head. Callum knew he didn't need to warn Alexander. It wouldn't have made any difference because Alexander would have just made sure he kept his mouth wrapped around Callum's cock to be sure to get as much cum as he could to swallow. This is exactly what he did do. It was Callum who had to take a step back to get his sensitive cock head out of Alexander's mouth and away from that tongue which could work a magic of its own kind.
Callum put out his hand and helped Alexander to stand up and then pulled him into a hug that got their two naked bodies pressing together. "Thank you, Al, you're a great brother. I love you. Have a good night and sleep well."
"I love you too, and I'm glad you're my brother and my friend. You sleep well too. Good night Cal." Alexander squeezed Callum a little tighter and the two of them separated. Alexander went to the door and stopped there and turned around, "Do you think you'll do anything with Aly?"
"I don't know yet. Why?" Callum answered.
Alexander checked outside the room and then said quietly, "I think I want to see a real life naked girl and maybe have a chance to do some stuff. Maybe if Aly was willing..." He left the rest hanging in the air. "I'll have to talk to Brad first though. Good night again." Alexander walked out the room and pulled Callum's door closed as he left.
Callum got into his bed and began thinking over what Alexander had said. He believed Alyona wanted to have some action with a guy other than her brother, but did she want to have action with all of them? Did she want to be in on some action with more than one of them at the same time? Callum knew he couldn't answer those questions but decided that if Alyona showed willing he was prepared to be a training partner for her, and he would sound her out for the others. He also decided he really needed to find out what the others felt about that aspect of their sex lives. Fortunately these thoughts did not plague his mind and less than a quarter of an hour after turning his light off Callum was asleep. Alexander, likewise, was asleep shortly after getting into bed.
By the time of the first break, on Monday morning, there was a new rumour going around the school. This one claimed that the younger boy had been tied up and raped by older boys for hours on end. Alyona reported the rumour to Callum who texted it to his dad, and informed him that Jennifer Proust was reported to be the source of the rumour. At the end of the break, Alyona was quietly asked to report to the administration block. Head Crowther had checked the schedules and made sure that Alyona and Jennifer were not in the same class for that period so Jennifer would not notice that Alyona was missing a class. Alyona's teacher also had been advised, before she left the staff room, and made sure that Alyona's absence was not remarked upon to draw attention to it. This was one time when Alyona not having any real friends in her year group was paying dividends.
When Alyona reported to reception she was shown straight into Amos Crowther's office and then, after being assured that she was not in any trouble, was asked to explain what she knew about the rumour that was now circulating the school. Alyona gave a full and honest account of what she knew and what she had done. She also answered all the questions that followed honestly without embellishing any of them. When they had finished getting all the information Alyona could offer, the head asked her to wait till just before the end of the period and then to re-join her class for the next period. Alyona could see the sense in this in that it would not be as noticeable as it would be if she suddenly walked into a class half way through the lesson.
With the wonders of modern technology and a bit of advance preparation Amos Crowther was able to get some other pupils to his office mostly unnoticed by the pupils they shared classes with. The head had cleverly recruited a few select pupils as spies. None of them knew of any of the others and the head wanted to keep it that way. By sending an email to the teacher of the class the person he wanted to see was in, and with the teacher having been warned in advance about what might happen Amos got to interview three more pupils concerning the rumours. This left no doubt as to who was the originator of the rumour. Crowther then called Castleford, the solicitor, who advised that they call in Jennifer's mother to be present before they questioned Jennifer.
Before the school closed for the day, Jasmine Proust had resigned her seat on the board of Governors and Jennifer Proust had been suspended from school pending permanent exclusion. Both had also been advised they might need to arrange a solicitor to represent them in court. The next morning at school there were eight people smiling as they heard the new rumours flying around to explain Jennifer's absence. They did nothing to alter the views of those rumours because they were so diverse with not a single one close to the truth that it would soon show they were lies. Also, by lunch time the rumours had died down and now only a few in Jennifer's year group were making some suggestions with only one being correct in suggesting that maybe it was because of the stories she had been telling.
That evening John asked Callum to get him Viktor's phone number and shortly after Callum had given it to him, he overheard his father organising another BBQ. At Viktor's request, the other families were going to be invited because he wanted to meet the rest of the people who had befriended his two children. For some time Viktor had been concerned that he had made a mistake in allowing his children to be advanced a year because they seemed to be struggling on a social level with being younger than the others in their classes.
The rest of the week proved that the rumours had emanated from the Proust home in that there were no rumours at all let alone new rumours about the boys. The boys and Alyona continued to join up at break times and develop their growing friendships further. With the exception of Bradley and Alexander they did not manage to get together for any special fun over those days and wouldn't be able to arrange anything for Saturday either as they all had to attend the BBQ. Alyona and Leonid were probably more excited than the others because this would be the first time they visited any of their new friend's homes and they were also going to meet the parents of all of their new friends. They felt that doing it en-bloc would make it easier too.
The BBQ went off very well with all those present staying together and chatting with each other until they had eaten, and then the younger generation took their chairs and made a circle away from where their parents were so that they could talk on different matters. When this happened Derwent teased David, "Now remember, if you hear something that shocks you, don't speak out too loudly."
"Aw dad! Please!" David responded in quite a loud voice and everyone except the Babkins chuckled.
Alyona picked up on David's embarrassment immediately and put an arm around his shoulders. "I don't know what's behind that, but going by the way the others are reacting, I don't think there's anything to worry about." She tried to comfort David who just got a little redder. However, now it was being caused by the fact that when Alyona had put her arm around him, he had sprung an instant boner which he could feel was tenting his trousers and he couldn't put his hand down there to adjust it as everyone was looking at him. He was glad when they got to where they were going to sit because he could then place his hands in his lap and this would hide his tent pole until it relaxed again.
John was standing next to Derwent after the younger folk had moved off; he quietly asked him how Susan was doing. Derwent explained that they had managed to find a medication that would keep her calm and also allow her to be awake but that the chances of her ever being deemed safe to be let loose in public were remote. Another time when he had invited John to meet with him privately for a `drink down the pub', he told John that her brother had admitted that she had had a couple of psychotic episodes before she had met Derwent. But her family had all agreed that as she seemed stable they would not tell Derwent about them. Had Derwent known then he felt he might have been able to see she was heading towards a breakdown and got her some treatment before it happened.
By the time the BBQ came to an end, there was another family added to the monthly meal deal. Nina and Viktor had found that they really liked the other families. It was clear that they were equally well liked and when George suggested that they try and work out a date for another friendly get together the first couple he asked for available dates were Viktor and Nina. Later on George asked John if he had heard anything more about their applications to join the Board of Governors. John explained to Viktor and Nina that as a result of seeing how the board and the head had reacted to the situation which had brought them all together, he and George had decided to stand as candidates to fill the two vacancies on the board. He then told George that they were unlikely to hear anything more until after the next board meeting which would take place during the coming week. Viktor began to ask some questions about it and what they had had to do for their applications.
Callum had approached the adult group on his way to get some drinks for his friends and overheard that bit of the conversation. "Dad you should get Mr. Babkin to stand too, after all now that Mrs. Blabbermouth has resigned there is another vacancy. Just think how forceful the three of you could be when it comes to deciding things at the meetings. You know strength in numbers." He was smiling and then asked, "Can I get anyone something to drink?" After his offer was taken up by all but Nina, he called over to the teen's circle. Sorry guys I'm going to be a little longer. The oldies seem to have been in a desert or something and I've got a full order to do for them first."
"I'll help you." Alyona called out as she stood up and began to make her way towards Callum. Once they were alone in the kitchen Alyona told him, "All your parents are really nice and I can see they have made mum and dad feel very comfortable. Now I know why all you guys are so nice to have as friends. I hope we do more of these parties."
"Funny you should say that. I think my parents are really enjoying arranging these things and now that they know your parents I'm sure they will be included in more. I hope so too and I'm going to tell my dad that." Callum told her.
"But I also hope we'll have a chance for some more private get togethers too." Alyona said. She had moved behind Callum and as soon as she said that she put her hands around him and starting from the middle of his stomach she slid her hands down and over his crotch where she gave his cock a little squeeze. "I'd like to have some more fun with this." She added.
Callum made no move to stop her and replied, "I think I'd like that too and maybe I could also return the favour."
"Mmm, I think that would be nice." Alyona agreed.
"We'll have to think of a way then." Callum said as he got the last drink for the adults ready.
After they had taken them out to the adults and returned to the kitchen to get the drinks for the teens ready Alyona asked, "Are Brad and Al fully gay, or are they just in love but could possibly be bi?"
"I think there might still be a level of uncertainty with them, but I also think that they have a stronger leaning towards being gay than bi. Brad had the hots for Al before even he realised it. Al has always liked Brad because Brad has always been kind to my little brother. But then Al has mentioned that he would like to see a real live naked girl and maybe try something with her." Callum explained.
"Well I think Al is the cutest out of those three younger ones, and Al and Brad make a great couple. One thing, I'm not sure if my parents have realised that Al and Brad are a couple but I think they must have twigged that at least some of you guys are gay. What are Leo and I allowed to tell them?" Alyona asked.
"You can tell them the truth. The only thing you can't really tell them is anything about the facts behind the rumours. Although I think we'll be able to talk about all that fairly soon too. Just be careful about saying anything in front of David please." Callum told her.
"Where is David's mum tonight. I saw him arrive with just his dad." Alyona asked.
"David's mum is sick and in hospital somewhere. I think they are still keeping her sedated so I don't know how she is. But don't ask David that either. It's best at this stage not to mention his mum at all." Callum advised her.
"Okay, let's get these drinks out or they'll think we've been doing something else. Maybe we can work out some times to get together after school too." Alyona said.
"Well we've got the half term coming up fairly soon at least. Maybe we can sort out something for the break." Callum said as he picked up the tray that had an assortment of bottles and cans of soft drinks on it. Again they had been allowed a beer each to drink with their meal but they opted to stay with soft drinks afterwards.
