"FIELD TRIP DAY!!!!" davey was up and jumping on Friday morning. "I DO sleep with the everready bunny" muttered Richard. He had gone into the restaurant on Thursday. Lawanda had laid down the law: "You get your ass in here to help with the baking, or you don't know what I'm doing with those cookies." So, in he went, rolling and folding.
He couldn't quite believe davey's excitement over this. Had he missed all of this stuff when he was a kid? (In fact, davey was excited because he was going to be with the man he planned to marry, out in public, with everyone to see: even the penguins). "COME ON SIR. Let's find you something fun to wear"
"OH geez, davey, can we just find some coffee?" He looked at davey's newly smooth chest. "Hmmmm. Nice " He thought, He hadn't decided whether the liked davey hairy or smooth. He'd keep thinking.
davey brought him back a big mug of coffee. "Careful sir. Remember, we're on a bus with 60 kids, and there's just one bathroom." "Fabulous" said Richard. "Let me start practicing my kegeling now."
Davey had pulled out a bright red polo shirt and some white shorts for Richard. Richard immediately put back the shorts for long pants. "AW come on Sir. You've got sexy legs. SHOW THEM.." Harris reddened. "I save them for you." He wrapped his arms around davey's waist. davey had on an untucked blue buttondown shirt, and a pair of yellow shorts. He began pressing his thumbs into davey's middle, tickling him.'
"OH please SIR. Not now.. Ha hahahahahaha. Come on, Sir. Tickling me makes me horny. " Richard stopped and put his mouth to davey's ear. "Then watch yourself at the zoo, muffin."
Sam was in the car to take them to school when they came out, and Jason was in the corner, hiding his giggles. He WAS very surreptitiously taking photos. Carla was beaming "OH, have FUN you two. I can't wait to hear about it."
In the car, davey grabbed Harris hand and squeezed it. "Did you find an apartment davey?" "YES SIR. I did. I found a really nice one. Carla approved. She thought the kitchen was a little too small, but since I come by so often, she thought it was ok. And the laundry room ? " Nice and clean?"
"Any handsome men living in the building?" Harris asked. Davey squeezed his hand. "I wouldn't know, why would I look. I'm going out with the handsomest man in town." Richard rolled his eyes.
When they got to the school, the bus was already there, and the kids were outside, as were Lawanda, looking less than pleased, Coach Jackson, Travis, and Abigail Jones, the head guidance counselor. The principal, Sara Shuttz, was also there. As the two men got out of the car, a cheer went up for COACH CANNON!!!!! Yes, the entire track team was going .
"They DO love you davey. I told you they would." He whispered, "Not half as much as I love you." Harris wrinkled his nose. "You keep that up, and I'm gonna lock you in the bathroom until I'm ready for you. "
It was about a 45 minute drive to the zoo. Richard thought if he had to sing one more verse of "100 bottles of beer," he was going to need more than a bottle. Davey, however , was enthusiastically leading the track team at the back of the bus. He had changed seats with Travis, so Richard was sitting with his old friend, catching up.
"How's it going , now that he's got his own place?" Richard sighed "To be honest, it's kind of sad waking up in that bed, alone some mornings. He comes by for dinner, but with the work on the place, he's gone some. " He sighed again "I didn't realize I was so lonely until he came along."
Travis took his friend's hand. "You deserved something like this Richie. No one, myself included, has more of a right to being happy." Richard squeezed his hand. "Thanks friend. I may need to sit with you soon, for your advice on some shopping." Travis' mouth dropped. "WHAT? Are you going to pop the question?" Richard smiled. "I'm thinking about it. You know, davey's debt is discharged... " Travis interrupted. 'ALREADY? GOOD LORD YOU PIG. AND HE CAN STILL WALK?' Richard laughed. "and believe it or not, he wants to stay together. But the part that I didn't expect: HE's asked me a couple of times if I'm ever going to marry him"
"Davey asked YOU?" Richard laughed. "Well, I imagine I AM marriagable material.' "No no, that's not what I meant. I meant, well, he's such a mouse. I didn't think he'd be that bold."
Richard laughed "Do you hear the ruckus in the back of the bus? That's the new davey. What can I say? A lion outside of the sheets and a lamb under them".
"Does he know?" Richard answered "I told him that he and I had to talk about marriage issues but I haven't addressed it specifically yet. So, no, he doesn't know about Elena." Travis patted him on the arm. "Richie, it's not gonna make any difference. But seriously, when you're ready, call me. " He smiled "Let's just say I've done some research." Richard smiled. "Thank you Travis. I can always count on you." Travis smiled back. "By the way, Coach and Lawanda?" Richard rolled his eyes. "one thing I know: she is NOT becoming a housewife. I'll kill him first."
The bus pulled up in front of the zoo, and lines for the bathroom formed right away. When everyone had finished, including Richard, the principal blew a whistle. "Ok students. First things first. We're going to form three groups. Ms. Jones, Coach Jackson and Coach Cannon are our leaders. They each have an adult buddy with them. So we'll divide into three groups..." The kids started screaming as just about everyone moved over to where davey and Mr. Harris were standing. Cries of "Coach Cannon's group" were all over. The principal was a bit non plussed. "Now now. You can't ALL be in Coach Cannon's group. "Lawanda leaned over to Coach Jackson and whispered "WHY THE FUCK NOT IT'LL DO RICHARD GOOD TO DEAL WITH THEM" Travis leaned over to Ms Jones and asked "does he have this effect at school? She whispered back: know what the other teachers nicknamed him? the Pied Piper."
NO NO. This is not going to work. So we're dividing you by names. Now I have my list. ." the BOOS started. "I SAID we're dividing by names. As I call you, the first name goes to Ms Jones, then to Coach Jackson, then to Coach Cannon.." The BOOS continued, but so it went. As it happened, davey's group had about six members of the track team, and that young boy Paul, who had told him he wanted to be like Mr. Harris when he grew up.
"OK kids," Davey yelled. "We've got our choices. What do we want to see first?" There were various choices thrown out, but the giraffes won. They headed forward. The protocol was for one adult to lead, and the other to be in the back, making sure no one straggled. That was fine with Richard: he could watch davey's ass move up and down, and think about later. One of the girls must have seen him "Yes, it's a nice one Sir, isn't it? " Richard blushed and in his direct way said "well, yes it is. " She looked at him. "You're sleeping with him aren't you?" Richard answered "Well, I HAVE been, and I hope I get to tonight." She smiled. "Me too."
OK, now let's take a look at these critters" Richard was amazed at davey's patter. They are the tallest animals on the face of the earth. " He smiled. "And for those with dirty minds, they have long, purple tongues which you'll see if they decide to eat ." At that moment, one of the giraffes did in fact stretch out a tongue, to pull down some leaves. Davey found himself thinking of Harris rimming him. "Anyone else know anything interesting about giraffes? How about Mr. Harris? " He smiled. "Well, they have a gestation period of about 370 days." "Does anyone know what a gestation period is?" Davey called out. Hands went up. "How about you, Paul?" "It means they hold their babies for 370 days. "GOOD! Now Paul brought up something we should know. "They carry their babies." That makes them WHAT kind of animal?"
"MAMMAL" yelled about 12 kids. VERY GOOD. I think we're gonna run out of cookies sooner than I thought." Now, unless anyone has any questions, we're gonna move on to my favorite animals, the big cats, and then Mr. Harris' favorite animals, the wolves."
Harris caught the smile davey gave him, as the kids gave their imitations of wolf howls. They got to the cat exhibit. "Lions. Tigers. Leopards. Cheetahs. So many different kinds, but they all look a little like house cats, don't they?" The kids moved in to see. The cats all seemed extremely bored to see them. After all, they were cats. "Let's start with the lions. Now, do we all know who are the boys and who are the girls." there was shaking of heads. "HOW?" Called out davey, and he got the right answer. "Now, we know lions eat meat. Who does the hunting? The males, the females or both?" There was some silence. "COME ON LADIES. WE ALL KNOW WHO DOES THE WORK AT HOME." There was laughter as the girls yelled back, "the FEMALES."
Richard was becoming more and more amazed at how GOOD davey was at this. "OK, now one of my favoritestest animals in the world. The cheetah. You all know they're the fastest animal in the world, right?" Heads shaking. "Ok, now one of my track stars, tell me: if a cheetah were going to run a race, which one would he enter: marathon, 800 meters, 400 meters, or 100 meter dash." Again silence. "OH COME ON. You all know this. He's the fastest. Who's the fastest human? What does he run? Now the answer came back. "That's right. And if Coach Cannon were training this cheetah, he'd be telling him not to go out so fast, because he'll die in the later part of the race. And that's what they do. They have to catch their prey, FAST. " He paused "Tomorrow, we'll look at muscle photos to see why that is."
They moved on to the wolves. "Now, these animals are a favorite of Mr. Harris. The kids turned to look at him. "Does anyone think he looks a little like a wolf? I do" The kids began to laugh, and Richard didn't know whether to melt, to turn red, or to just kiss davey there. "Mr. Harris, what can you tell us about wolves?" He smiled. Well, wolves form packs. One alpha male - the head male - and then his ladies. Usually 3-5. He looked at the kids. "Yes, he takes care of ALL of them. I am NOT like that." He continued. "When the females have babies- question kids, do wolves lay eggs, or have live babies. "LIVE!!!" came the answer. - when the male babies grow to a certain age, they either have to fight the daddy, or go out on their own. ONE ADULT MALE TO A PACK ONLY. " He went on. "Now , here's some advice: if you ever meet a wolf in the wild, DO NOT look it in the eye. That's a challenge. They treat it sort of like "what're you staring at." And now... the wolves remind me of something that you might want to know. Look at their eyes: are they at the front of their face, or at the sides? "FRONT." Right. "Now, what other animals have we seen today that have eyes in the front of their face." The kids shot back answers and Richard smiled. "You're all missing the most obvious one!" Silence, and then he went around and stared directly at each kid until someone yelled "HUMANS!" RIGHT. Now, what animals have we seen that have eyes at the side of their heads? If you look for that , you can tell if the animal is hunter or hunted. Hunters need their eyes in front of them so they can charge. Hunted, at the sides so they can be c areful.
Davey was thinking "my future husband is SO smart. and if he grew a beard, he WOULD look like a wolf. And I'm like a lamb in his teeth why is that making me so hot?"
The kids sat down shortly after for lunch. Davey and Richard were at the head of the table, and the kids were chatting, buried in their sandwiches and Lawanda's cookies. The two lovers were chatting, with Richard making clear that he wanted davey back at the house after the trip. "Yes sir. Are you going to exhibit some wolflike qualities." "Richard showed his teeth. "I don't think wolves use ropes, but otherwise, yes."
"Hey , Coach Cannon, Mr. Harris, some of us have a question." Davey saw the kid. A trouble maker. "Sure Jimmy. Go ahead." Jimmy blushed. "Are you and Mr. Harris sleeping with each other." Davey turned pale, but Harris was ready. "Yes, yes we are. Sometimes we sleep, sometimes we talk, sometimes we sing. But yes, most nights, we sleep together. Any other questions?" Another boy stood up. "Who's the girl ?" Davey thought he was going to die. Richard was cool. "you mean when we sleep together? Oh, you know the answer to that question" The kids were laughing and davey was furious. "The answer is neither of us. Do we look like girls to you?" There was some snickering. "I'm serious. Anyone want to wrist wrestle with either of us? " No response. He looked at the kid "when you get into bed, do you ever become a girl? " "HELL NO." Richard laughed. "Well, it doesn't change when you get older. " Davey thought he was going to hug his partner right then and there.
And so went the trip. On the way back, most of the kids, and some of the teachers fell asleep . Coach Jackson snored. Lawanda looked at Richard. "SOMEONE is gonna have to break him of that." He looked puzzled. She smiled "Did I say six months? Make that three."
Back at the school, as they got off, some of the kids came up to shake Mr. Harris' hand. They hugged davey, and he hugged them back, in groups and individually. Young Paul came over to Richard. "Mr. Harris, thank you for being so cool about things today. Now I want to grow up to be like you EVEN MORE. " Richard smiled. "Why THANK YOU Paul." He paused. "Paul, how old are you?" "Sixteen Sir. " Sixteen, hmmm. Do you think you'd be willing to do some dirty work to earn some spending money? " Paul's eyes got big. SURE SIR. Well,come by the restaurant tomorrow after school. I'll be there. If you don't mind getting wet and dirty, I think we could use you as a dishwasher. "
YES SIR. I'll be there by 3:30.:
In the car ride back, Harris pulled davey into him and hugged him. "You know handsome, you are a HELLUVA GOOD TEACHER. How did you learn so much zoology." Davey smiled. "You told me I could use the library any time I wanted. I did." Harris kissed davey. "Did you do any research on how the back of a track coach's knees are very ticklish especially when he's hogtied, and about to get fucked?" Davey reddened. "Am I staying for dinner too sir?" Harris smiled. "And you'll be my dessert. I ate too many cookies at lunch"
"An extra mile in the workout tomorrow davey" called Sam "ONE MILE ? I counted those cookies. He's gonna be lucky to get away with two extra miles."
When they got back at home, Harris greeted Jason and Carla. "Carla, is there enough food for a handsome track coach to join us tonight?" She gave him a dirty look. 'I guess that means there is." He turned to davey "c'mon you. We gotta practice some of what we learned today."
"Like what Sir?" Harris smiled. "Like what wolves do when they fight for control."
In the bedroom, davey lost that fight. Gladly. He DID wind up hogtied, with Harris' socks tied around his mouth, and Harris' tongue running back and forth over the back of his knees. "Gotta be careful. Don't wanna injure my marathon man's firing muscles. But MY firing muscle, is rarin to go." He untied davey, and rolled him on his back. "Did you dress like this to arouse me all day." "Maybe Sir. " "Well, maybe it worked. Or maybe comparing me to a wolf. Or maybe something else. But..." He put his mouth on davey's nipple and chewed it. Then he moved to the other. Davey interjected. "Please Sir. The sunshine made me horny. Please don't wait. Please. fuck me NOW..."
Harris smiled as he pulled off davey's shorts. "You know, if you wore a blue buttondown shirt every day of the week, I would be hard, constantly. " He kissed davey's navel, and davey answered "how would that be different from now, sir?" He got answered with a cock in his mouth. GET IT WET. That's your lube tonight smart ass."
And it was. They were both so horny, they were finished and washed by the time Carla called them for dinner.
