Wednesday, the big first day back at school. Todd had taken Cammo to a store in the city that specialised in uniform items. He hadn't needed a great deal, two jumpers with school logo printed on them, two shirts, sports shorts and shoes and a pair of leather shoes, worn more for safety than anything else. The jeans Todd had bought him were acceptable so there was no need to buy any uniform trousers. Todd took him the first morning, arriving at eight thirty and taking Cammo to the office for official enrolment. This done, they found the school had organised one of the year eleven students to take Cammo under his wing and show him around the school. The student was Aaron, a tall, dark haired youth who immediately got Cammo's trust. There was something about him that clicked with Cammo and he happily accompanied him throughout the school. Their friendship was to last until Aaron finished year twelve. Days end saw Cammo arrive home just after four, Todd wouldn't be home till about five thirty so Cammo went to his room and went over the days events before starting his homework, the main event being grammatical correctness. He was finished by the time Todd arrived home and poured out the day's events while Todd got the evening meal ready. Todd felt happy and pleased as the words poured from Cammo in a seemingly never- ending stream. Although not fully returned, there was certainly an inflection of enthusiasm in his voice, and, he noticed, a marked improvement in his grammar. H's were still dropped here and there but in the main, the grammar had improved, and in just one day. The rest of the week Cammo caught the bus to school, a pass being issued by the Department of Child Welfare. By weeks end, it almost seemed as if Cammo had never been away from school, he had new friends, both male and female and appeared to be getting along famously. He'd only had one episode of taunting from one of the usual bullies, this being sorted out quickly behind bushes on the school oval. Cammo quickly and decisively sat the bully on his arse after a fist to the stomach and an elbow to the jaw; he hadn't spent three years living where he had learning to be nice to people. That was the first and last instance; word spread quickly, Cammo finding out later he'd flattened the guy with the most awesome reputation for fighting in the school, and with just two punches.
Todd had been kept busy at work but he couldn't take his mind off Cammo's approaching Birthday, it was the Tuesday coming up and Todd knew what Cammo was going to ask. He'd done a lot of soul searching since that first encounter but still hadn't come up with an answer. Questions kept flooding his mind, sure Cammo would be sixteen and of the age of consent, but he was still his carer and if anything adverse happened, it was just as likely Cammo would return to his former `home' and that was something Todd could never face, he'd got to like the guy too much. Still, it hadn't been him making the approach in the first place, Cammo was his own person and had his own mind. He knew exactly what he wanted, no matter what, and after all, he'd made the first approach that first day after his shower. Todd decided he'd let the situation run it's course, if the question was asked on Tuesday, he'd assess the situation there and then and live with his decision. Another quiet weekend was spent at home, both of them chatting, asking questions and generally fooling around. Todd discovered Cammo had a very keen sense of humour and wasn't above a stir here and there if he thought he could get away with it. The feeling, on both sides, was one of affection and trust. In the short time he had known Cammo, Todd had got to know him almost as he would know a family member, and Cammo was in a like situation, his trust and affection for Todd growing by the day. Monday, another week and Cammo left for school on the bus. Todd had asked him if he wanted to take Tuesday off school seeing it was his Birthday but Cammo was adamant.
"No way Todd. I'll never get nowhere, sorry, anywhere if I take days off. Nah, it's cool, we'll have the evening together anyway."
Todd was pleased with the response; it showed Cammo's building enthusiasm for what lay ahead in his life.
Tuesday, Cammo's Birthday. Not a word was said in the morning before school on the subject Todd knew would arise sooner or later. They'd both walked round the unit naked in the past, each taking peeks at the other, but this was the day Todd knew the question was going to be asked and he knew he'd have to live with his decision, whatever that was. Todd had splashed out for Cammo's Birthday, jeez, the kid hadn't had anything for the past three years and it was Todd's decision to get him something really cool. He'd bought him a Playstation and four very good games, even though he knew Cammo had probably never had his hands on a controller in his life. He knew full well Cammo wouldn't take long to work it out, kids never did. Todd passed Cammo the parcel during breakfast, seeing his eyes light up as he wished him happy birthday. Cammo ripped the paper off the package, not believing what was revealed beneath. He turned the box over and over in his hands, not saying a word. Todd was watching his reaction and was completely astounded when he saw tears welling in Cammo's eyes.
Cammo raised his eyes to Todd's. "Thanks so much Todd," then, feeling the tears in his eyes, wiped them with the back of his hands. "Shit, I thought I'd forgotten how to do that. Sorry man and thanks a heap, this is so cool."
"Don't be sorry Cammo," Todd felt a constriction in his throat at Cammo's obvious appreciation and hoped he had his voice under control, "It's a good sign that you're coming back to the seemly side of life. You're welcome Cammo, believe me, the pleasure is all mine."
Cammo stood, walked over to Todd and encircled him with his arms. "Thanks again man, you really are cool." He glanced at the clock, "Shit I gotta get going, I'll thank you properly for this tonight," a small, wry smile formed on his lips, "and I think you know what I mean."
He disappeared out the door leaving Todd wondering about what he had said. Todd knew how Cammo wanted to thank him but for the life of him couldn't make up his mind one way or the other. Why did life have to be so difficult? Cammo arrived home at the usual time, just after four and thought he'd prepare the evening meal. Why not? It didn't seem fair that Todd had to do it all the time. He'd just entered the kitchen when the phone rang.
"Hey buddy," it was Todd, "You've got a choice tonight, pizza, KFC, or Maccas, which one do you choose?
Cammo thought for a few moments. "KFC sounds cool, real cool actually."
"Done," Todd said. "I'll pick it up on the way home. Don't get into any trouble before I get there, OK?"
Cammo laughed. "Jeez, I can't get into too much trouble here, can I?" he asked.
"Well let's hope so," Todd returned. "See you at about five thirty."
Cammo hung up the phone. So he wouldn't be cooking tea tonight after all, oh well, there was always tomorrow, or the day after for that matter. He went to his room, dragged out the books and started his homework. There wasn't much, just a few maths problems and some English, he'd finish it in about three quarters of an hour and then he could turn his attention to his gift from Todd. Todd arrived home to find Cammo in the lounge room, the Playstation plugged correctly into the TV, his eyes glued to the screen as he attempted to take out some alien or other. Todd smiled to himself, Cammo hadn't even noticed his arrival.
"Oi," Todd called out, "that thing'll waste your life you know."
Cammo leaped to his feet, spinning to face Todd, his face a mask of rage before realising where he was and who had spoken. He was devastated by his over reaction. "Oh shit Todd, I'm so sorry man. I guess I'm still living back there sometimes."
Todd understood completely. It was a totally predictable reaction from a young guy who'd been living like he had been, for as long as he had. Todd realised he should have taken a more gentle approach in announcing his arrival. "Think no more of it Cammo, my fault entirely. Now come and help me set the table before this stuff gets cold."
Cammo followed him to the small table, helping by getting plates, knives and forks and setting them on the table. The food smelled delicious, Todd had got a barrel with twelve pieces, roast potatoes, peas, gravy and coleslaw, followed by a delicious looking chocolate covered ice cream log. He'd also bought a bottle of Champagne, thinking a couple of glasses wouldn't hurt Cammo, he was sixteen now after all. They both sat at the table, Todd pouring the Champers into glasses.
"Cheers Cammo, a very happy birthday my friend and many happy returns."
They clicked glasses.
"Thanks Todd, sorry for my reaction a few minutes ago," Cammo was truly apologetic for his loss of control. "I really don't know what come, sorry, came over me."
"Like I said Cammo, think no more of it, it's over," Todd explained the best way he could. "There is one thing though."
"What's that?" Cammo was almost intrigued.
"Remind me to never really piss you off." Todd said, smiling.
Their meal finished, they made their way to the lounge room, Cammo offering Todd a go on the Playstation.
"Come on Todd," he said, "just one game, there are two controllers you know.
Todd took the spare controller and competed with Cammo, he'd played these things before so had a fairly good knowledge of what button did what function. Cammo was still learning so Todd was able to beat him soundly the first time, however, the second time was a little different. Cammo had got used to the functions and tore Todd to shreds, much to his satisfaction. Todd grinned at him.
"Feeling better now?" he asked.
"Yeah, much," was Cammo's reply, "but there is one thing that'd make me feel a whole lot better and I'm pretty sure you know what that is. I'm sixteen now, remember?"
There it was, the statement Todd had dreaded for eleven days. Strangely, he felt relaxed with it, he didn't have any hang-ups, he just looked at Cammo feeling a definite stirring in the area of his loins. Cammo was smiling, knowing fairly well what Todd was thinking, he'd been planning this for those eleven days and he'd become steeled in his determination he wasn't going to be disappointed.
"Back in a sec," Cammo said, turning and heading out the door towards his room.
Todd stood in the lounge area not really knowing what was going on. Where had Cammo gone? To his room obviously, but for what purpose? He was soon to find out, as within a couple of minutes, Cammo was back, standing in the lounge totally naked, his six inches at very proud attention.
"Ah jeez Cammo," Todd said, "You look so cool man. I've been dreading this moment since eleven days ago, worried about it every day, but now it's happening, I'm cool with it."
Todd began removing his clothing, his tie first, then his shirt, then his shoes and socks before unclipping his trousers, lowering the zip and letting them fall to his ankles. Cammo approached him.
"Can I do the honours please Todd?" he asked, referring to the removal of Todd's jocks.
Todd was trembling; this was totally new to him. He'd been with guys before but never one this age, this was totally new. He nodded his assent, watching as Cammo's fingers hooked into the elastic and gently drew them to his ankles. Todd couldn't help himself; he was hard, as hard as he could ever remember. He kicked the trousers and jocks over towards the couch and stood admiring Cammo. Oh shit he was so well made, everything on him matched everything else he had, he was perfectly proportioned.
"What now?" Todd asked.
Cammo saw the look in his eyes. "Relax Todd, I gotta feeling this isn't your first time with a guy and it certainly isn't mine."
"Shit Cammo, it is with a guy your age. I've still got doubts but I guess I've let it go too far now, shit man, your stunning." Todd told it as he saw it.
"Thanks," Cammo replied, "You want me to take the lead? You still look a bit unsure."
A horse whisper of "Yeah, OK," was all Todd could manage.
Cammo approached Todd and put his hands on his waist, sliding them softly over his hips and down his legs as he kneeled in front of him. Todd watched him, fascinated with his body and long, slim, firm legs. He watched as Cammo kneeled before him, feeling a little light headed as Cammo's hand gently grasped his cock. He closed his eyes, the feeling of Cammo's hand on his shaft exquisite beyond belief, before he heard a soft voice.
"Thanks for the cool present Todd, this is my way of saying thanks for what you've done for me."
Todd drew in his breath between his teeth as Cammo's soft, warm mouth closed over a generous portion of his cock, sucking it deeply but gently, getting it almost into his throat before rising to the base of the head. It was obvious he was no novice at this, this was certainly not the first time he'd performed this act. Cammo continued, making cold shivers run up and down Todd's back, on and on, the warm mouth working miracles on the rampant shaft. A few minutes later.
"Back off Cammo, gonna unload man, gonna blow big time."
Cammo took the shaft as deep as he could, his tongue feeling the pumping at the base as Todd's climax gathered momentum. Again the warning.
"Back off now man!"
Cammo grabbed Todd's jocks and backed off, wrapping the jocks round his cock just as the first huge wad exploded from it. He wasn't ready to take it in his mouth just yet. He massaged the member vigorously but softly, feeling the incredible climax unleash into the jocks, Todd moaning, loudly and softly. Todd couldn't believe the intensity of his climax, couldn't believe what this young guy had just done for him, it was totally unreal, it was totally OK. Cammo sat back on his ankles, his slim knees fully bent, feeling a warmth flowing through him at what he'd just done for Todd. He didn't need to ask, Todd's reaction to what had happened told him everything he wanted to know. He unwrapped the jocks, now damp and sticky, before standing and taking them to the laundry area and depositing them in the washer. On his return, he found Todd still in the same position, his eyes still closed and obviously still immersed in his afterglow.
"That good huh?" Cammo asked.
Todd opened his eyes and focused them on Cammo. "All I can say my friend, is that was the most incredible way anyone has ever thanked me for anything. That was just totally cool Cammo, thanks man."
"Welcome, but I don't think the night's over yet." Cammo said. "I want to spend the rest of the night in your bed, with you. Whatever happens, happens, you seem cool now with what just happened, so what ya reckon?"
Todd thought for a couple of moments. "If you're cool with that Cammo, I'm cool with it. After that, you're welcome to any part of me you want."
"Cool." Cammo put his arm around Todd's waist and walked with him to his bedroom. They both climbed into the queen-sized bed, Cammo very quickly snuggling against Todd.
Todd's hand made it's way to Cammo's cock, finding it as hard as a rock. Shit, this still isn't right,' he thought, but I've gone too far now and anyway, he seems cool with it.' "You wanna do something to me Cammo?" he asked.
Todd felt Cammo's hand traverse his thigh and explore his cock before making it's way between his legs, feeling a finger softly exploring the entrance to his inner sanctum. Jeez this kid was gentle.
"Yeah Todd, love to." Cammo whispered. "Haven't done it to no one, sorry, anyone in a bed before."
"You've gotta use a condom Cammo, you know that, don't you?" Todd was very definite on that point.
"Yeah, no probs man." Cammo still sounded eager.
Todd reached to his bedside cabinet, fished around in a drawer, his hand finding the flat packet. A bit more fishing round in the dark and his hand found the water based lube. He passed the flat packet to Cammo. "Here buddy, get that on and I'll use the lube first."
Cammo pushed back the bed covers, exposing his cock, tore open the packet carefully and withdrew the condom. He'd never seen one before, let alone had his fingers on one. He found the outside of it slippery as he rolled it down his proudly erect cock, it felt strange but it also felt cool as it rolled down. Todd rolled onto his side, pulling his knees up before telling Cammo he was ready. Cammo rolled onto his side, his upper hand holding his cock, guiding it to what he couldn't see in the dark. He felt it touch something before hearing Todd's soft whisper.
"Hang on buddy, let me help you."
Cammo felt Todd's hand gently grasp his cock and guide it until he felt it touch the soft, puckered opening. Todd let go as Cammo made his first tentative and gentle push, feeling the head slip smoothly inside. Cammo stopped as the head entered, not wishing to proceed in case he hurt Todd, that was the very last thing he wanted to do.
"Go on man, keep going," Todd said. "Just take it easy, that's all."
Cammo did as requested, feeling his shaft slide inside until his pubes contacted Todd's cheeks. He started his strokes, slow and even, the feeling in his cock exquisite, the feeling of Todd against him even more so. He didn't last long, his thoughts and feelings for this guy had his climax on the brink within minutes, and with a deep intake of breath between his teeth, he unleashed it, wave after wave of his wad exploding into the condom. He blew silently as always, his previous existence had taught him never to wake the others, no matter what happened. He withdrew and rolled onto his back, his breathing hectic before feeling Todd roll onto his back and an arm encircle him.
"You enjoy that Cammo?" Todd asked.
"Yeah man, unreal, best ever for me," Cammo replied. "I never hurt you, did I?"
He turned towards Todd as Todd did likewise. "No Cammo, you didn't hurt me. Glad you enjoyed it."
The rest of the night was spent with them both snuggled together in each other's arms, both of them drifting off to sleep, warm in the knowledge of their feelings for each other. Cammo knew Todd was cool with this now, he'd done what he had wanted to do for the past eleven days, and his Birthday wish had now been fulfilled.
