Spring Break And The Brotherhood
By

I never knew how Dad managed to stay awake while driving our family car on long vacation road trips. I used to fall asleep against my big brother's shoulder nearly the whole way. So when I finally got my first car a year ago and was allowed to drive the ten hour trip to RMMA during my third year, I asked him, "Dad, how do you stay awake? Ten hours is a long time. Coffee?"

"No Greg. All coffee will do is make you want to pee. No, I think about things, work out problems, make plans and such, just think about life! It flies by then."

He was right. RMMA kept us boys very busy, not a lot of time to think about life. Funny, Jacob was my best friend, and we didn't talk a lot about life for the first three and a half years of our friendship and now, it seemed to be coming up more and more. Maybe it was because graduation loomed and neither of us knew what we wanted to do or where to go after RMMA, but more likely, it was because we felt closer through adversity. And believe me, a gymnasium paddling is pure adversity. We both had suffered those public administrative paddlings, but then again so had Todd Pendergrast.

I was driving all three of us back to my home for spring break, ten long hours of driving that I would share with Jacob. But at present, both Jacob and Todd were snoozing, Todd in the back seat. So now I had lots of time to think as I drove and I did. I thought about all the events from Christmas break to the present. I was not very good at detecting how I had changed from the experience, better at seeing it in others but Jacob had changed, that was certain. I could take some credit for that, telling him to get over himself over Christmas. Wow, did he. And we both benefitted, sex-wise anyway.

After my little suggestion, we started messing around here and there on Christmas and New Years break, right up to the day we returned to RMMA, all blow jobs for me, but I also tried it once myself to be fair to him. But it certainly didn't seem to be the same experience for me as for him. Jacob loved it and seemed to have passion for it, I just did the act; neither loving or not loving it. It was just sex after all.

But then there was that next day after my administrative paddling back at school, when Jake came to my room late, took a chance and barred the door. He asked me to fuck him, take his cherry in essence. I remember being so horny then, I really didn't think about what I was doing. I just did it, it was kind of a passion of the moment thing and boy I was so horny after the really hard pain had worn off. Later, when I had time to think about what I had done, wow, it was hard to believe that I had done that with another male. It's really a lot different than just getting a blow job. Maybe I'm fooling myself and I'm a homo-guy too, I don't know.

And that's another thing, touching Jake. I had touched his naked skin, I mean, and especially around his pubes and dick, his ass too. So what? Growing up, being naked with my brothers was no big deal. Hell, once when I was twelve, I was in the bathroom getting ready to take a shower, naked. Steven was 16 at the time, in a bad mood and in a hurry, right behind me, verbally pushing me kind of aggressively.

Well, I got in a hurry too then and somehow twisted wrong on both my right ankle and knee at the same time and boy, I was down on the floor, frustrated and crying and hurting so bad! I probably was just more upset and frustrated at how he had yelled at me, than the pain. Steven rushed in and apologized to me and helped me up and hugged me close, both of us naked, and walked me to my room and I just did not want to let him go. He let me hug him close too, both of us naked. And it wasn't a big deal and even now, that scene makes me feel warm about Steve.

So I guess that kind of helped, a lot really, when it came to getting that kind of close to Jake's body. You know, what's wrong with that? Humans are beautiful creatures if you let them be and maybe that's kind of sexy too in a real way. I don't know. The more skin I've contacted with Jake, it seems like I'm getting used to it, maybe it's just with him and easier because I know how much he likes it and I just plainly like the guy.

So was my best friend an actual homosexual? I thought so, but we never have talked about it in just that way. He never asked me to sleep with him in my bed at home over last Christmas, so maybe he wasn't or he didn't feel comfortable asking, more likely. Did it matter? Hell no! I just hoped he wouldn't find somebody else he liked having sex with, because I would miss it with him a lot!

I looked at him sleeping in the front seat next to mine as I drove. What would I have done without him being there for me through my Honor Code violation? I would have survived I guess, but it would not have been the same. Then there was Todd's awful mess. Man, that boy had guts to have had to stand up to a Dad who had abused him in so many ways, and still had the nads to own up at the end and follow his squad leader into a gymnasium full of his peers for that administrative paddling. It was a pure privilege of mine to have been Todd's second. I felt a true bond to Todd now and regretted that we would not have more years together at RMMA.

Asking Todd if he wanted to come with Jacob and me for spring break was a no-brainer. If he had refused, I think Dad would have come to get him anyway. Dad went through a lot of trouble to save Jacob's ass, but in reality it was for Todd too; but Todd could just as easily have blamed my Dad for his own father's arrest and not recognized that he needed to be saved from his father's corrupt influence. A lot of that credit goes to Jacob for having been a good squad leader and role model right up to the point of the crisis. But credit Todd too. There was a lot of hidden maturity in that boy to have recognized that my Dad actually saved him from more years of abuse and a ruined RMMA career.

"Hey man, what's going on?" Todd said with sleepy eyes and leaning forward over the seat. Jacob remained asleep.

I smiled and ruffled his head. "Just driving."

"How much time we got left to go?"

"Oh, five or so hours still, but we'll stop in another hour for a break; so what were you reading back there before you knocked off?"

"Oh, 'The Devil's Due', it's a detective novel."

I blinked. Oh my God! "You're kidding!"

"No, why would I kid about that?"

"My Dad loves those things, in fact I think I've seen that book on his shelf!"

"Whoa! Cool! … Man, I can't wait to meet your Dad."

The rules had been made before we left. Todd was to treat Jacob and I more or less like big brothers, calling us by our first names. There were to be no protocols or salutes and no "sirs" or "sir" unless he was addressing my Dad. Yea, if he screwed up and needed to be put in his place, it could be done; but otherwise, the biggest rule was for him to be himself, enjoy his time with us and don't be afraid that he would screw up. So far, he had been pretty low key, I was sure just to feel his way through a very unusual situation and opportunity.

"Yea, you'll like my old man. He's a good guy and likes to have fun. Any chance you like to fish?"

"I love fishing! Does he fish?!"

"He loves it and nobody else does, man, you're gonna be a big hit kiddo!"

"Nice!!"

"Hey, who are you meat-heads talking about, me?" Jacob said, suddenly awakening.

"You? No way man, why would we want to talk about your ugly ass?!" Todd grinned and shoved lightly at Jake.

Jake lurched up and put Todd in a firm head lock, "Ugly? Look who's talking. I'll show you ugly you little twerp!" and then Jacob ground his knuckles into the top of Todd's head.

"Hey man, that hurts!" Todd said pulling free and sitting back sporting a huge grin.

"Remember, I'm still older than you and just because you can call me by my first name at Greg's place, doesn't mean that I won't put you over my knee if you act like an idiot!" Jacob grinned back at the younger boy with a smirky grin.

"Like to see you try!" Todd dared back.

Jacob lunged a little towards Todd with his hand, but very clumsily missed. I winced, it looked kind of dumb.

"You are such a dork!" Todd teased back with a huge laugh. I was really impressed. Todd seemed very loosened up and relaxed with us even now.

Jacob blushed, "Hey Baker, any rule against me beating his butt when we stop at the café?"

"No, no rule," I replied, really enjoying seeing Jacob and Todd interact and having fun.

"Like to see you try man. Remember, I don't have to obey you just because."

"That's not what we said," Jake tried to counter.

"Yes it is! Huh Greg?"

I looked at Jacob, "Yup, you're right Todd." I really didn't remember what we said along those lines.

"Hey! Greggy!! Thanks a lot man, you turn-coat!" Jacob teased back at me.

"Greggy?!" Todd said. Now it was my turn to blush.

"Yea, that's what my twelve year old brother calls me sometimes."

"Hey, then it's cool. So what are you then, Jakey?" Todd said to Jake. Jacob hated "Jakey."

"Oh you are so going to get it Pendergrast!" Jacob said with a fake sneer.

"Oh, you are sooo going to get it Pendergrast, big deal, big whoop!" Todd imitated Jacob. Way to go Todd!

"Go ahead, laugh it up now, Chuckles the clown!" Jacob said making yet another stupid and unsuccessful lunge at the slippery boy in the back seat, which sent Todd into another fit of laughter. It seemed that there had not been enough of that for months, laughter that is.

The fun began after we finally pulled into the café parking lot, at the six hour mark. Oh the memories for me there, thick and heavy. But in a way, now I counted it as a warm feeling, now that all the troubles of that recent time had passed, and the lessons learned.

Todd flew from the car, Jake right behind him while I took my time and headed inside to get a cup of coffee or maybe a soda. I stood inside and watched my two friends horse-play outside through the café's large plate glass window. Jacob even lifted up Todd briefly over his shoulder. Jake was a pretty strong guy. Then he set Todd down and Todd was laughing and attacked again, only to be gamely subdued by my smiling and grinning best friend.

It struck me very sad that Jake did not have a natural little brother to bond and spoil with his easy brotherly love, but maybe that was a good fate in a way. Todd needed Jacob's brotherly affection and bonding right now. I only hoped it wouldn't cause a problem for Todd or Jake when Jake had to turn back into his squad leader back at RMMA at the end of our week.

Todd's reactions to me were different when Jake was not around. Jake went to the bathroom to pee and such and Todd sat himself quietly right next to me up at the café counter.

"Man, it sure is weird calling you guys by your first names and all, so tell me about your family."

"What do you want to know?"

"Oh, just stuff. Like what was it like growing up with your Dad?"

"Dad? Oh man. Deadly. He reads all those books that you like. Learns from them too. We didn't and still can't get away with anything."

"Or what?" he grinned.

"Burnt bare bottoms all around, painful."

"Wow and you talk about him like he's, well, like you really love him a lot."

I looked at Todd, "You love your Dad still, don't you?"

"Yea, but it's not easy."

"What's not easy?" Jake said, putting his hands on Todd's shoulders having just returned from the can.

"Putting up with you!" Todd smiled.

"Oh yea, like you're God's gift," Jake replied winking at me, then sitting next to Todd.

"I am gonna give you grief all week long, just you wait Lightman!," Todd said, then grinned over at me with a quick wink.

"Yea, right!" Jake said with a final smirk.

We loaded back in the car and this time, Jake driving, Todd next to him. I got in the back seat and nodded off, actually, the rest of the way back home.

* * * * * * * * * *

Lots of guys don't like to be hugged by other guys, but don't tell that to my Dad. Moms are expected to hug, so are younger boys, but as Todd shyly tried to offer just to shake Dad's hand, Dad pulled Todd into a bear hug that seemed to last a while, whispering something in his ear that made Todd smile.

"Hey guess what, Dad?" I said swallowing a lump from my throat. "The Devil's Due and fishing."

"Devil's huh? Fishing?"

"Todd here loves fishing and reads those detective novels you like!"

"No kidding?"

"Yes sir!" Todd grinned, but by then little brother Michael had exhausted his patience. Dad had filled in Michael about Todd and why he was spending the week with us, including sufficient details of the whole crisis and affair and Todd's bravery and courage in taking his punishment.

"Hey, you can sleep in my room if you like, Dad said I could ask."

"Hey, give the guy some space Mikey, he just arrived, I'm Steven, the REAL big brother," Steven grinned at me and Jake.

Todd got kind of shy at that point, "Good to meet you … um …"

"Call me Steven, none of that sir stuff around me please. On the other hand, you too meat-heads had better show me some respect this week!" Steven grinned mischievously at Jake and me.

"Or what?" Jake replied and gave Steven a nice little fist pop on Steven's upper arm.

"Or I'll put you over my knee Mr. Lightman and teach you some respect."

"Big words, big brother, but I doubt you can back them up!" I grinned at Steven.

"I'll put you over on the other knee too little brother,"he grinned back at me and just a little more daringly.

Steven and I had a warm relationship, but it really had never included horse-play or not a lot of it anyway, not like with Michael. His eyes were on fire just then, and I was intrigued. What had changed between us? Me? Him?

"OK, OK, come inside you guys, Mom wants to meet Todd, we're eating supper soon!" Dad said.

We gave Todd the house tour including a quick stop by the kitchen, for Mom to meet and spoil Todd with one of her awesome chocolate chip cookies that nobody, including Dad, got just then, just Todd. Oh boy, we gave Todd some shit over that on the way to tour Dad's study.

"Too bad for you guys," he replied gamely!

Dad quickly busied Todd with a tour of his detective novel collection as I stood by Steven. I couldn't believe what I was about to do. I smirked really hard at Steven and gave him a brotherly shove, kind of hard too, "So what's gotten under your skin, Mr. Bossy man, huh? You better just behave yourself this week!"

"Or what Greggy!?" he teased me back.

"I'll put YOU over MY knee," I dared.

The next thing I knew, my 17 year old body was being manhandled by my 21 year old brother over to the couch. He caught me off guard, but Steven was no wimp, even on my terms. The next thing I knew, I was over his knee, facing back towards Todd, Dad, Jake and Michael. I was struggling pretty hard against Steve's strong arms, then caught Todd's eye, a mixture of mild shock but mostly excitement.

Then a big spank landed on my upturned seat and it hurt!

"Dad! Make him stop!" and I struggled harder! But the harder I struggled, the stronger he got! I had no idea he was so strong! He even twisted my arm up onto my back!

"Dad!!" I yelled, red faced. Dad ignored me.

"Give him a big spanking Steve!" Jake grinned.

"Yea Steven! Spank him good!" Michael urged. I only had one more possible ally left and it wasn't Dad.

"Todd? A little help over here please!?" I said, giggling from nerves. Why was I so nervous? Oh no … it couldn't be happening, I felt my dick starting to stir!

"Don't you dare Todd!" Steven teased Todd.

Suddenly, Todd's face got a little worry and confusion in it. We had all forgotten that Todd was in no way prepared for a room full of brothers who knew how to let down their hair and have aggressive fun together. He was his Dad's only child. But just then, Dad said something to Todd and he grinned again and nodded and came over. Finally!

"Hey Steven, can I spank him?" Todd asked. What?!

Well Jake cracked up, "Yea man! Spank him Todd, give him hell!"

Even Mikey joined in, "Give him a couple for me Todd!"

"What?! Noo! Noo! Todd ol' buddy, come on man! You and I are tight, give a brother a little break here and … help … me … out!" I said grunting and giving a last effort to escape my big brother's hold on me, but to no avail.

"Go on buddy, spank him as hard as you can!" Steven urged Todd as my wiggling around and struggling had given me a bonafide boner. I was not worried about Steven feeling it, so much as Todd seeing it, but I had other problems right then!

"Don't you dare Todd or I'll get even! I will!" I counter threatened.

Todd hesitated, looking at me, then Steven, then back at Dad and the others.

"It's OK man, join in the fun Todd," Steven then said to Todd.

"That's OK," Todd said and backed off, putting his hands into his back pockets. The room went silent.

"Hey, do it Todd, he likes it, don't you Greg?" Steven then asked me.

I was a little stunned, had Steve noticed my boner and was kind of using it against me, but for Todd? I knew Steven didn't care. And even if Steven was kidding and really meant that I liked or wanted Todd to join in, I took it as me liking spanking. I had a boner, over my big brother's knee and in those brief few seconds remaining of Todd's hesitation, my mind's inevitable self-honesty reminded me most definitely that since my administrative punishment, my masturbations about spanking and paddling boys, both them and for myself, had skyrocketed to embarrassing proportions. But I needed to man up and help a brother.

"He's right Todd, fire away man and make it good, I won't put it against you bro."

Todd smiled and kneeled, his tongue out of his mouth like a guy does who is concentrating on something he really wants to do.

And, he did! Whappp! He smacked me three times and hard too! "Yea that's it Todd buddy, do it more!" Jake urged him. Michael laughed and Dad grinned.

Todd then nailed me five more times then shook his hand, "Ouch! Man he has a hard ass!" Todd grinned and everyone else laughed, including Dad. I didn't laugh. I was too busy blushing beet red, even if my ass wasn't quite even pink, but I had other fish to fry. My dick was being a dick to me. I had to be careful or you know what could happen!

Steven let me go and I slid off to my knees with Todd standing right there above me. Then I saw his trousers. Was I just seeing his trousers wrongly? Or did he have a boner too?

Todd saw me staring and suddenly moved to the couch, drawing his knees up, "Wow, that was fun. Hey Michael! Why don't you show me your room!" he said with a nervous giggle, avoiding looking at me.

"Sure! Come on man!" Michael said with a huge ear-to-ear smile, and those two were history, very fast too, Dad right behind them.

Jake then came bounding over and sat where Todd had been next to Steven. "Hey meat-head, just say the word and I'll give you equal time," Steven teased him.

"Screw you shit-for-brains," Jake said with his own daring grin, but just as they were about to get into it, Dad stuck his head in.

"Steven, Mom needs you!"

"OK Dad," and Steven was up and out of the room.

Finally, Jake and I were alone. I got up and sat next to him, still nursing a big boner. Then I looked down. Guess who else was so turned on and looking so sheepish just then. Then he saw my little problem. Well, not little. I swallowed. I couldn't believe what I was just thinking and wishing at the same time about my good buddy, forgetting about Todd for the moment.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I said, but not really meaning what I was REALLY thinking about.

"Oh yea, bathroom, now!" he said and we motored. The problem was, our bathroom door was old and kind of wonky. It had a lock, but we were in a hurry and I forgot that you had to apply patient pressure to the latch or it wouldn't catch. Dad had not yet gotten around to fixing it either.

Anyway, we got inside and while he was hiking down his trousers and shorts, I lifted the toilet seat, then took down my own trousers and underwear, my pinkened bottom showing up pretty good. Jake was pretending not to look at it.

"Get over it Lightman! You know you liked watching me get spanked and you want to check it out, so check it out already!"

"Yea, I did and you seemed to like it well enough too," he countered.

"So what if I did? Maybe you need to be spanked too!" and I spanked him! Twice! All that did was make my cock inch further to the finish. He just looked at me. I grinned, "What? Not enough?" and I did it again. Then he wound up and spanked my naked ass! Twice more!

I looked at my buddy. All I could see was a cool guy that I really liked, my best friend in the whole world that I loved as a bosom brother, but nothing more than that. And we were just having fun, the kind you can have when you trust your best friend as I knew I could trust Jake to the death. But Jake's eyes said something entirely different and in that brief moment, I thought I knew what he was probably really thinking.

Spank!! I nailed him hard again. "Come on dummy! I'll even do it for you!" I said confidently and I wrapped my hand around his dick shaft.

But I guess that Jake had changed more than just being himself with me since Christmas. Suddenly he just lightened up, as if he knew that things would never be as in his fantasies about me, but were OK and he could enjoy his relationship with me, just as it was. Then he went for it too. He returned the favor and we started to jerk off each other's dicks side by side, thinking we were safely inside the bathroom, just pumping on the other guy's dick for all we were worth.

Suddenly the bathroom door opened. It could have been anyone standing there gawking at us. But it turned out to be Todd, innocently, just wanting to pee.

"Ohshit," he said with a blank expression. Just as suddenly, he kind of slammed the door shut. Jake's hand dropped to his side, so did mine.

"Just great," he said.

"Fuck," was all I said.

* * * * * * * * * *

Ever sit down to supper with an eight hundred pound gorilla at the table with you? Not good. Ruins the meal. Make that a table for two with that gorilla, me and Jacob. I didn't look at anyone much the whole time, just Mom and Dad; not Jake and certainly not Todd.

"What's the matter honey? Not hungry?" Mom asked me.

"Just tired from the trip Mom, I'm fine," I lied.

"Come on Steve! Michael! Let's do the supper dishes and let the meat-heads off the hook!" Todd said with a smile after supper mercifully ended, but I thought with not a lot of smiling inside of himself. But I was not really in shape to interpret anyone's inflections just then.

Jacob and I slid out the sliding glass door from our den and into the darkness of the far back yard. I could hear the horn of a train passing by a crossing, about a mile away. I sighed and looked at Jacob, putting my hand on his shoulder, "So buddy, what now?"

He shrugged, "Maybe we're making a bigger deal out of this than it is. At least it wasn't Michael or your Mom."

"Or my Dad," I said and immediately regretted adding him. Dad would never have said anything to us, save maybe get irked that we had not been very discreet.

"Your Dad? Get off it. Your Dad may not like it, but he would never let it affect how he loves you Greg," Jake said, reading my own mind.

I was really proud of Jake for that. Man, he had changed since his fanny Armageddon and I guess I had been so wrapped up in my own crap, I had not been able to see all the changes in him very well.

"Yea," I said and looked in back of myself. There stood Todd, by himself, looking out at us from the den's sliding glass door. I nudged Jake. We turned. Todd just looked down and disappeared. I felt my heart sink to my knees.

"Come on, we have to deal with this," Jake said very maturely.

I really did not want to have to deal with it and that both disappointed and confused me. When was I not up for a challenge? When did Jake grow the set of balls that I did not know he really had? Then it struck me like one of those epiphany things. I followed him into the house and envied that he had let recent events shape him and accept himself for who or whatever he was and not take any shit from anyone any more, even from himself.

Todd came surprisingly easy with us to my bedroom. There I stood as I had many times before, alone with Jacob Lightman, my back pressing onto the closed bedroom room. I was facing two guys sitting side by side on my bed, hands clasped in laps, one head down, Todd's, one head looking at me, Jake's.

Todd looked up at Jake then me, "It's no big deal."

"Oh yea?" Jake said looking at Todd.

"Seriously, it's not like guys don't know."

"What?" I asked, feeling my chest tighten.

"Oh come off it. Guys see you two together at strange times and squads aren't blind little groups of lemmings any more, you know." Todd said.

"Um … like what do you mean, Todd?"

"Look, when Jake comes over to the barracks at ten at night and you guys are holed up in there for what, two hours? On a Friday night? Come on."

"Homework! And that was only … well … twice since term started. We're just studying together, Todd, what's wrong with that?" Jake tried to fake us out of it. Shit, how did they know? I thought we were pretty quiet.

"Yea, right, whatever … 'yea man, let's do it' … grunt … grunt … You guys need to at least keep it down!"

Apparently not quiet enough. Oh god. I felt so stupid and Jake didn't look at lot better about our lack of discretion.

"So like … um … is everyone cool if we are, um … kind of messing around?" I asked Todd.

"Hey, it's not like some of the first years are not screwing around here and there. What does staff expect? A bunch of horny boys with no girls and even if there were girls, some guys … well … they just like dick!"

"There's some of it in all years," Jake sighed.

"Well, then the question is, Todd, what about you? What do you think? You looked pretty upset back there," Jake challenged him.

"I don't know. I'm not stupid, nor naïve. I've been propositioned by a couple of guys and not just in my squad. Never did anything about it, not yet anyway, but you do get tired of beating off by yourself. Look, no way you'll find me not defending you guys. I don't care. Maybe I'm envious and will get into it. Hell, I probably will."

I sighed, really hard, "I don't know whether to be glad or sad or upset or I don't know what. I don't want to cause a mess and get expelled or cause problems."

"Whatever Greg, but you gotta know, your squad, Jake's squad, we'll protect our leaders to the bitter end. You guys maybe don't know how many fights that almost get started because some asshole says something to us. Shit hits the fan, but it never quite comes to blows and nobody wants to see administration involved anyway, even the guys who really think it's gross. That's just the way it is. You guys get free passes down at our level, so what can I say?"

Talk about a huge dose of stomach aching humility. I looked at Jake. He looked just as sheepish.

"So like, you guys really … really buy into all the loyalty stuff that we preach?" he said to Todd. It was kind of a dumb question. Wasn't Jake listening?

"Buy into it? Jake!! Get your head out of your ass man. You're the one! We all look up to you! You too Baker! Your guys would die for you! Or at least they'd risk getting their noses bloodied by upperclassman to defend you! Wake the fuck up, both of you!!" and Todd then stood up and started to pace the room, his hands in his back pockets.

I turned around and gently banged my head on the door. I felt like I had been or needed to be seriously spanked or whipped or I didn't know what and then realized that I was even using those words to describe what I thought I needed. I turned back. It was time for me to stop being a pussy.

"Well Jake, my old buddy pal! Here we are. First day of spring fucking break! Got caught, yanking on each other's puds, didn't even get to finish! Supper, gone to waste, yum!"

He chuckled, "Yea, fucking shame too. That pot roast looked soooo good too."

Then I turned my sarcasm to Todd. Why fucking not!?

"So, Todd old buddy, what do you think huh? Jake and me are just a couple of perverse homos? I don't suppose you noticed that not only was my ass red, but his too! We were spanking each other, you know, to get turned on? It's that RMMA thing, all that spanking and paddling and … homo-edgy shit that an all-boys school is famous for? Masturbation. Blow jobs behind the gym or over in the trees, or down at the creek!"

"Or in the lockers way over at the end where they put those old used ones where nobody ever goes? I caught Woodburn and Jenkins over there once by pure accident, really getting after it. Boy were they pissed, then really scared. I told them to chill and get a clue! But what could they do to me? Go to the staff? Yea, right!" Todd filled in some of my suspicions and I looked at Jake, he was not too surprised either. Woodburn was a squad leader, Jenkins not a leader, but was a fourth year as well and rumors had flown around about them.

"Well, are you still glad we brought him?" Jake teased and went over and put a gentle head lock on the now much less younger looking boy.

"Actually, yes. He fits right in with this screwy squad. Hey man, I'm starved!" I needed to get some respite from this downer discussion we were having.

"Me too! Left …"

And I finished, "… overs!!!" and we ran from the room to the kitchen, Todd right behind us.

* * * * * * * * * *

Needless to say, everything about spring break was now changed, not that I knew what it was going to be like before, but it felt really different now. And like Dad says, every time you think you have somebody or something all figured out, they go or it goes and shows you how ignorant or naïve you really are; and he also says it never really gets better the older you get, so just get used to it and enjoy the ride called "life." Man, my Dad is never wrong.

The question now would be, would I take my own advice and get over myself? Wasn't a few things about my sex life now a bit obvious? Even to me? I mean, I've spanked and paddled a lot of cadet ass, bare ass too, and I had to admit, even that was beginning to cause some arousal, but that was really recent stuff and still a long way off from spanking on Jake's butt in the bathroom.

I really had never looked at his ass before, I mean really LOOKED. That's because I just don't ordinarily look at guys' butts in the first place. When I fucked him, I never really had to look. But frankly, when it was red? It seemed it was kinda hot or maybe I was just confused, I don't know! Maybe I was changing in that direction kind of too.

Well, the question of where Todd was going to sleep was now obvious. Michael thought he had influence with Todd, and he had, but not now. It was my room or bust. He didn't seem to flinch, in fact, he got this funny look in his eye and said, "Yea, night maneuvers!" then suddenly looked a bit sheepish at revealing himself.

Well, big deal. It was pretty obvious that aside from obvious concerns about the taboos and conduct issues between an upperclassman, squad leader and a cadet first year at school, we were not at school and it was not as if he was ignorant. Hell, he probably knew more stuff than me! And he had a right to be horny if he wanted, and maybe to expect some consideration from Jake and me here, away from school. I certainly didn't want him getting frustrated and being alone for a week. That would be cruel, especially after what we'd all been together and through with his Dad and all.

Rather than stay up late with everyone else, Jake, Todd and I retired early to my bedroom, making up some lame excuse about actually being tired. We weren't, but what the hell. The trouble was, should we risk messing around in my bedroom if that was going to be the consensus? I really didn't care to deal with getting found out, no matter my family would be very tolerant. So there we were, all in comfy sweats kind of waiting for the other guy to say or do something. But then, I realized that if we waited until we went up to the cabin in 48 hours, that would suck just as bad as being home with everyone still around us.

Then it hit me! I knew a way out, if we chose to take it that is. I grinned, "I'll be right back!" I sped to Dad's study where he was still and had a little chat. The chat worked great and I sped back to the bedroom.

"I am a genius. Dad just gave us permission to get our butts out of here at the crack ass of dawn in the morning and take us three up to the cabin in my car, just us too, all by ourselves for over 24 hours!"

"Way to go Baker!" Jake said holding out his palm, Todd did too, grinning. I slapped palms and then sat on the floor, legs crossed and across from both Todd and Jake, each just a few inches apart from one another and me.

"So, what now guys?" I asked.

"Um … hate to say it, but I'm really horny man," Jake admitted. I raised my hand, so did Todd.

"I know, but we need to be careful and wait until the cabin maybe?" I suggested, wincing, cause I really wanted to unload. You should have seen the dirty looks. I gave myself a dirty look. I blew out my cheeks, "OK look, I guess it will be fine, it's not like we're going to have an orgy."

"We're not?" Jake grinned.

That made Todd smile, "Yea, why not man?" and we chuckled, nervously!

"I know, let's play Truth or Dare, maybe that will bore us to death and we'll lose interest in our dicks," I suggested.

"I won't!" Jake said.

"We play it behind your back all the time in the barracks."

"You do?" Jake answered Todd.

"Yea, we know we're not supposed to let it get out of hand, but we do sometimes get really dirty."

"Like how?"

"Not gonna tell you guys," Todd grinned.

"Spoilsport," Jake smiled.

"Besides, Truth or Dare is lame. Just skip to the truths and dares and forget the game," Todd got down to it.

I shrugged, "I'm game."

"Todd is right, guess what the subject is going to be? … everyone?!" Jake led us out.

And we all said it, "SEX!"

Wow, did I want to do this? Did Jake? Actually, Todd probably had the drop on us older guys, the least with something to lose and all, but what the hell, huh?

"So like, anyone ever kiss a girl?" I asked.

"I did, once," Jake said.

"Really?" I smiled.

"I sucked at it," he admitted.

I started to giggle a little and then laugh, "You still suck at things!" and I got a big punch in the arm for that pun!

"Kiss a boy yet Jake?" I asked Jake. He blushed and looked at Todd.

"Go ahead! I don't care Jake, get over it!" Todd reassured him.

"No, but I want to," Jake responded sheepishly.

I watched Todd, that was quite an admission in front of him.

"Big deal, kissing a boy, so what?" Todd reinforced.

"What about you Todd? You want to kiss a girl?"

"I guess, look I just want to get off, OK? Do you guys see any girls around?"

Good point. I was liking Todd more and more.

"OK look, I caught you guys stroking each other's dicks. Obviously you've sucked and fucked some at school, but what I want to know is the spanking thing. Was that kind of … you know … hot? In the bathroom and stuff, or maybe at other times?"

"Like in the study?" Jake smiled at me.

"Was it for you?" I challenged Todd.

"Actually, yea, but it's been that way for some time really."

"Really?" Jake responded.

"Yea, really," Todd admitted.

"OK, I admit it," I said, "I'm getting to like that spanking idea more and more, and this is going nowhere but turning me really on."

And it was. Images of Jake's red butt and spanking him in the bathroom were starting to take effect.

"Yea, for me too, but if you guys want, I know how to kill the boners," Todd then said mysteriously.

"Oh?" Jake and I said together.

"Yea … I … um … would like to talk about my punishment in the gym," and Todd's face dropped.

Yup. Boner killer on a lot of levels.

Jake looked at me, "Good idea Todd, we never talked about that after, did we?"

"Nope, and I really need to."

Neither had Jake and I said much to each other about ours.

"OK Todd, go with it man," I said and patted his shoulder in support.

"See, the thing is, it's not about the paddling itself. Yea, that hurt like a holy mother fucker poker up your butt, but it was all the stuff before … and no offence Jake, you've been a great squad leader man. You made the difference and gave me that last chance I finally took to talk against my Dad … but it's you Greg, you got me through that paddling. It was the extra time you took with me at the creek, to get me ready, remember that?"

I nodded, "Sure do, never forget it," and I held my palm up. He slapped it.

"And it was you standing there by me in the gym, all dressed up and stuff, ready to help. I thought I needed to see your eyes, but I didn't. I had to learn, that no matter what kind of fucked up pain I had, you were there for me without me looking … even when … somebody else would never have been," and then he looked understandably sad. Todd was obviously thinking about his Dad.

Todd swallowed hard, "My Dad was a jerk, but that's over, isn't it. See? Boner gone! You guys' turn!" he said, looking a little irritated.

Then I recalled my paddling, "I remember you Jake, the way to you told Murphy and Adkins to back off. 'Stand down!' you said, 'Don't touch him!'" Jake smiled and put out his palm. I slapped it.

Then Todd continued, "And that was another thing. I watched your paddling too Greg, I was so pissed off at the whole world then. I was plotting with my Dad during that time and I wanted blood, I wanted somebody else besides me to suffer … and your paddling in the gym was going to be the ticket … I was going to watch it, then jack off to it later and laugh my ass off … So what did I end up doing?" and he paused, fiddling with his fingers before continuing, "All I could do was find a corner by myself afterwards and cry and bawl and wish I could die."

We all paused. I was really glad Todd chose to talk about this stuff. He's quite a kid.

"I wish I could have been your second and helped more Todd, but that wasn't possible," Jake said a little softly.

"Oh man, don't sell yourself short Jake, you were there for me. I hate to say it, but I was so glad that you yelled and screamed your head off. If you hadn't, I was out of there, I would quit the school right then and there, because I would have to not yell and scream and I knew I couldn't do that. But you were a leader and you were honest and had integrity and didn't hide yourself from me when I really needed you."

"Thanks Todd, that really does help," and they gently hand-slapped each other.

"Hey, let's face it guys. We three are a brotherhood. We've done something together that nobody else can really claim, not like we can. I say we're brothers forever because of it," and I got up on my knees and held my fist out to the center.

Then Todd and Jake got up too. But Jake spit in his palm and held it out to us,

"Come on, we'll do a blood oath, but I ain't using blood!" and we laughed.

Todd and I then added our spits, Todd mixed it all up with a finger, then he then wiped it off his finger onto his sweat pants and we hand-slapped his palm with ours! It sent spit flying in all directions, but it was cool and we grinned and laughed and then we just felt like getting rowdy.

So we did! We laughed and pushed each other around, scrambled and wrestled each other on the floor and just started to whoop it up. We made so much noise that Dad came to the door, knocked on it and yelled through the closed door, "Hey! Indians! The cowboys went the other way! Keep it down!"

That cracked us all up. "Yes Dad! We will!" I said between chortles.

We calmed down and then Jake admitted, "Great, all that wrestling around made me horny again."

"Me too!" Todd grinned and I raised my hand in agreement and sighed.

"OK guys. Here's the thing. Let's wait a bit till the others are in bed and I think they're pretty close, then let's hit the can and have a circle jerk together, OK?"

It was agreed. We waited until midnight and everyone else was in bed. This time, the bathroom door was secured. I went first and pushed down my sweats and underwear, then so did Todd and Jake. Todd was in the middle. Our dicks came up pretty fast, we were so on edge. Jake's eyes started to wander, I didn't blame him. He looked "caught" when I looked at him.

"Get over it Jake! Look! Here, you want to look at my butt? Look yourself away!"

"Me too man! Spank me if you like," Todd grinned.

"Just not too hard to keep the noise down," I suggested, but doubted that anyone could hear us outside of the bathroom anyway.

So he did. Jake swatted Todd's bare bottom twice, with the palm of his hand, looking pretty into it!

"Like it?" he smiled at his cadet, now brother.

"Yea, actually, more, a little harder too!" Todd smiled, his dick looking plenty hard and liking it.

Four more spanks came. Wow, I liked seeing it, hearing it too!

"You guys do it to each other again!" Todd grinned and slipped around me.

I stood next to Jake, "You first buddy, spank me," I said. I got five nice hand swats on each cheek. My dick jumped! My dick liked it. Wow!

"Now my turn," Jake said.

I gave Jake's bare buns five swats on each cheek. Naturally, his dick was very happy about it.

"That's hot, watching two squad leaders getting nasty!" Todd said daringly.

"You want nasty?" Jake dared back and looked at me for permission.

"Go for it man," I grinned.

Jake did. I turned and he got on his knees in front of me and started to gobble my erection down. Todd's eyes got big, "Wow, that is pure hotness!" he said and I chuckled. Todd was more oversexed than me and even dared to slide over next to me.

"Hey, you gonna suck your cadet off too?" Todd dared Jake. Jake looked up at me.

I nodded, "Yea, why not bro, go for it!"

He grinned, happy as a clam and started to work on me again.

"Not exactly a circle jerk, hey Todd?" I said as Jake was busied.

"Circle jerks are for wimps. I want sex. I want sex with you guys."

Whoa! Maybe Todd should be a squad leader. No wait! Bad choice!

Jake's finger started to snake around to my butthole. I was getting to like it whenever he added that trick. Todd saw it, "Yea man, go for it, finger-fuck his butthole!" and that's what Jake would in fact do, but to hear it from him made me feel like an ignorant Dad listening to a way more experienced son. But then Jake pulled out and stopped sucking me!

"Hey!" I complained.

"Cool your jets, I'll get back to you," Jake grinned. Then he started on Todd. I smiled. Jake was in heaven. I was so glad for him. He deserved it.

"Yeaaaa, ohhhmannn, wait until I tell the guys back at school," Todd moaned and Jake suddenly stopped, reached back and spanked Todd's butt, hard! Twice!

"Just kidding!!" Todd grinned and Jake shook his head, recovering from his near heart attack and went back to work.

"Hey Jake, finger my hole too," Todd said. I watched it, it was great, Jake was so into it, but then again, I was getting more turned on too, I guessed just from all the testosterone in the bathroom!

"Ohhhyeaa, do it man, do me!" Todd extended his head back, his hands on Jake's head,

"Ommmmmmph!" and Todd shot his young load inside of his squad leader's mouth. Not bad, and really hot, even for me!

"You ready dude?" Jake said to me. I nodded, "Do it good."

Jake started to suck on my dick again and I was just at the edge anyway, but then he surprised me. He reached back and started to spank my butt, not hard, but kind of fast. Talk about hot!! Whoa! I started to shoot and shoot and shoot!

"Yeaa-hot!" Todd said as I started to pump my load into Jake's mouth. Oh god that felt sooooo good.

Well, we got out of the bathroom fast and scurried down the dark hallway giggling and got back in my room. Todd was beaming, Jake was beaming and blushing and I, well I was smiling and so glad my buds were with me.

We bedded down, Todd and Jake next to each other on the floor besides my bed. We were going to get up early, five or five-thirty to get an early start. Dad would get up with me to load some stuff up for the cabin, supplies and such.

I turned off the light.

"Nite guys," I said.

"Nite Greg, hey man I love you, love you too Todd," Jake offered.

"Love you too Jake, Todd," I grinned and lay back.

"Love you guys, you guys rock, totally rock, I'm so lucky to be here," Todd finished.

* * * * * * * * * *

I stirred awake at about 3:30AM. I looked down on the floor. Jake was on his back, his naked chest exposed out of his sleeping bag, head turned towards the door. Todd was all the way out of his bag, just in his underwear and on his tummy, bare chested as well, but his head rested on Jake's chest. Jake's left hand and arm were cradling Todd's head gently. I guess I have to say it, it looked so cool, so cute really and made me smile and feel warm inside. It seemed that all the crap we had all suffered and went through had been well worth it for these really cool moments with each other. Then I lay back down and got more Zzzzzzzz's.

* * * * * * * * * *

I got up at a quarter after five and put on my sweats. Dad was already up and loading my car. I went out to help him and by golly, two sleepy other guys got up soon after. They helped and then we all changed and put on long sleeve button-down sports shirts, jeans and runners. I slipped on my nice black leather belt through my jeans loops, Jake's and Todd's were both brown leather. We looked great. Then at departure, Dad started to remind me of things to remember about turning this and that on for the cabin, including our wonky water pump system. The cabin had electricity OK, but the sewage was treated through a septic tank and all.

Anyway, I guess I was just anxious and wanted to leave with my buddies and maybe didn't want to be "lectured," so I popped off a little, "OK Dad! I can handle it, I've been up there a million times."

He looked at me, hands on hips, "OK Greg, just make sure …"

I cut him off, "I'll handle it!"

He just looked at me with a tiny frown, "OK son," and chose to say nothing more.

We took off, it would be a three hour drive to the cabin on Lake freaking Burton. We would eventually rent a power boat or canoes and stuff when Dad got there the next day with the family and Dad would bring his fishing gear too. It was going to be so cool, and finally we guys could mess around all we wanted in privacy until everyone else came up.

About half-way to the lake, we got hungry and stopped at a nice diner in a tiny mountain town. Jake and I had been there before. We piled out and ate a real nice breakfast and talked about school and other guys and teachers and RMMA stuff. It was really nice for a change to talk about RMMA stuff and not be stressed about it.

Then just before we got back in the car, while Jake went to the can again, Todd took me aside. "Hey Greg, I want to do something cool for Jake."

"I'm all ears!"

"I want to piss him off and make him spank me."

"You mean provoke him, you sure?"

"Yea, I mean, he likes to spank butt, it turns him on."

"Yea, I know what you mean. Well, OK, but he might use his belt."

"That's OK, I don't mind. He won't really hurt me. I just want him to have fun and he likes that stuff. Hell, turns me on just thinking about it."

Me too!

"Man, I never was as precocious as you first year guys are now. OK, what can I do to help?"

"I want to act snotty to you too, that way, he'll really get into it."

"OK, well, we'll have to stop. I know a good turnout. Nobody really uses it. I'll give you a signal, I'll chew on my index finger-nail. That's the signal for you to start and you should have enough time to get him all riled up."

"Great! This is gonna rock!" Todd grinned.

I grinned back but shook my head. God that kid was something else!

We started down the road again and drove about twenty minutes. Todd was in the back seat, Jake riding next to me. I had to figure to give Todd maybe ten minutes lead time. This was going to be a riot. I waited until the right time a bit later and then gave Todd the finger-nail signal.

Todd sighed hard, "Man, when are we gonna get there, I'm bored!?"

"I thought you brought some of Greg's Dad's books," Jake answered.

"I did, don't want to read, I want to get there!"

"Hey, cool your jets, come on, tell me what you think you're gonna do when you graduate?" Jake asked innocently.

"Who cares! I'm only 15, for God's sake Jake. That was a stupid question," Todd said, getting a little irritable sounding for effect.

Jake furrowed his brow.

"Can't you drive this dumpy car any faster Greg?" Todd turned up the heat.

"Hey, you want me to get a ticket?" I joined in.

"Who cares, not my car, not my ticket!"

"Hey, what's got into you?" Jake said a little concerned.

"Hey man, you're not my squad leader this week, remember?!! So stuff it, OK? Not interested."

"Todd! Don't be a dick!" Jake said turning back around to the front and folding his arms, starting to look frustrated.

"A dick? You suck dick, you like it, so don't knock it man!"

"He's just not awake yet," I said to Jake pretending to defend Todd.

"Fuck off Baker, you're not my boss either!" Todd countered.

"Hey! Stow it Pendergrast. I don't know what your problem is!" Jake barked a little.

"YOU are. You're being a dick to me now, Greg make him stop!"

"You should just settle some, Todd!" I replied.

"You settle, fuck off both of you!"

"Todd! Man! Can you believe him?" Jake said looking genuinely shocked! I almost laughed, but didn't.

"Believe this!" and now Todd added the final touches, he flipped Jake off!

"TODD!! Greg stop the car, he is going to get his ass whipped. Apologize Todd!"

"NO! You apologize, turd!"

"Stop the car Greg!!"

"I know a turnout Jake. Todd, why are you being a dick this morning?"

"Mind your own business Baker!"

Well, there would be no stopping Mr. Lightman now and Todd had dug his own hole on this one! I for one wanted to see his tail tanned by now too. Todd was truly making it real for Jake!

I took the turn-out. I knew about it because Dad had stopped here when we boys needed to pee. Todd rushed out of the car, looking moody, us right behind.

"Todd man, what's wrong? You were so happy last night?" Jake asked trying to avoid the conflict.

Todd frowned, "So what, not in the mood today man, you're not my squad leader right now, so cool it!"

Jake looked at me a moment, "Yea, well you're being rude and I'm still your big brother on this trip."

"Fine! So DO something about it … Big bro!" Todd sneered a little, just right too!

Jake's face got stern and he went for his belt, "OK, I will, get 'em down buster, hands up against the car!"

"Fine!!" Todd yelped and did it! Only when he did, I thought he had blown it. Maybe Jake could not see it yet, but Todd's dick came right up hard as a rock.

Jake came up to him, his brown belt all doubled up and ready, "Hey! What the fuck!? You're all turned on!"

"So what! Just do it!" Todd sneered trying to keep in the act.

"Fine!" Jake took the bait and started in. The cuts were hard, but not mean, good RMMA style for a cadet punishment. Jake gave Todd about ten hard swipes, made him hiss and grimace too! But his dick stayed hard!

I was hard now too, that was for sure, especially knowing what Todd was really doing.

"You gonna apologize and settle down?"

"No!"

"Fine! Ten more!" and he gave ten more cuts of the belt, harder too! Todd bit his lip and rose up on his toes and everything!

"Ready to give up?"

"Maybe!" Todd said with attitude.

"Not good enough. We can do this all day man!"

I looked at Jake, He was totally turned on but I wasn't sure he was paying attention to that. Todd's dick was softer now.

Ten MORE cuts came. This time Todd yelped, "OK! OK! I give UP!"

"Good!" and Todd stood up and rubbed his hot buns until his dick was totally hard again.

Then he grinned and turned, "Gotcha!"

"OH FUCK! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" Jake grinned! "You guys! You too Greg? You were in on it!"

I nodded and laughed, "You should have seen your face man! Totally pissed off!"

"Oh maaan!" Jake said, having been totally bluffed.

"I just wanted to have fun with you Jake, I didn't really want you to get pissed, but I didn't know how else to do it," Todd explained.

Jake stood there with a smile, "OK, yea, I like whipping butt, here look at me, I'm all jacked up!"

"We all are!" I said.

"I should whip your butt too!" Jake looked at me.

"I will if you want man, it was pretty hot to see."

"Yea, do it! I want to see this!" Todd grinned.

So I gamely did. I shucked down my jeans and underwear and released my erection. Then I leaned up against the car.

"This is gonna be fine!" Jake said and then swung away.

"Ouch!!" I said.

"You bet ouch! Just take it Baker and shut up!" he smiled and so I did. He shot me a good ten more.

"Hey, you were kind of rude to your old man this morning, so how do you feel about that Greg, huh?"

He was right. I did feel kind of bad about that. I looked at Jake, "Yea man, give me a good hard fifteen, for my old man."

"You got it!"

"Sweet!" Todd said, his trousers still about his thighs and his hand playing a little with his hard-on.

Jake really put shoulder into those. It really hurt too and made my dick get really soft. I was glad though, I felt bad about being huffy to Dad.

"Oh man, good job Jacob," I said rubbing my sore rump, my dick coming alive.

"Whew! That was great, hey Todd man, thanks, I owe you."

"Yea, you kind of do, don't you, payback."

"Payback? Like what?"

"You don't want to know."

Jake and I looked at each other. The question was begged and I wanted the answer.

"Go ahead, shock me, bet you can't!" Jake said confidently to Todd.

Todd got a satisfied look on his face, "OK, I warned you. I want to fuck my squad leader …………….."
