Author's Note: Hi lovely readers. Why Chapter 26a, 26b, 26c and 26d, you may be asking. Well these four versions of chapter 26 tell the story of the same 14-day period for four different pairs of characters, while also starting to tackle the fallout from the conclusion of chapter 25. As you read them, you may notice some of the same activities and events but told from a different perspective. This was a very fun `event' to write, and I truly hope it makes for an enjoyable read.

Tales from Kingswood
Chapter 26d – Rob and Josh
FAO All Kingswood Parents and Guardians
The Kingswood Pandemic Protocol is now ready to move into its penultimate phase, which requires steps to ensure the COVID-19 virus is not present within the school's population. As advised in our previous updates, additional accommodation has been built within the school grounds, which is now ready to begin use for the isolation period of the Protocol.
Upon their return from the half-term break, all students will be separated into two-person accommodation and will remain physically separated from all other students, staff and faculty for the virus' 14-day incubation period. Please find attached a schedule for the times returns are required for each Year group. For anyone with sons in multiple Year groups, please contact our administrative office to discuss alternative arrangements.
While we are aware of the concerns that may arise from paired accommodation, this decision was made based on the need to balance both physical and emotional wellbeing for our students. While solitary isolation eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination entirely, it was considered significantly more likely to cause emotional harm. It is a decision that was not reached lightly and was made in conjunction with expert advice from both epidemiologists and child psychologists, themselves alumni of Kingswood.
During the 14-day isolation period, students will still be able to attend classes through the use of on-site technology, move about the school grounds at set periods to ensure physical health is maintained and engage in group activities designed to minimise the psychological impact. All contact restrictions have been lifted and contact with family will be available at any time to ensure a fully connected support system.
Once the isolation period is complete, the Pandemic Protocol will move to its final stage to maintain a virus-free school. All staff will remain in accommodation on-site for the duration of the pandemic. Any staff or student leaving school grounds will be required to undertake a further isolation period of 14 days upon their return.
We thank you in advance for your co-operation at this difficult time. A further update will follow once the students have returned.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Trystan Everett Kingswood Headmaster
Day 1
Half-term had been tough for Rob. He had been enduring a constant cycle of anger and hurt over the things Josh had said to him before he left, then worry and confusion over why Josh had said the things that he couldn't possibly mean. He had spent months, most of the time they had been friends in fact, worrying about Josh and convinced that every bizarre action, every unusual behaviour was a sign of something amiss, something bigger.
It had seemed like the sudden relationship with Alex Barnes, former tormentor and apparent mortal enemy would be the biggest surprise Josh could pull out that term, right up until the final moments before they left for the break. Josh had turned on his friends in the most brutal way, delivering what could only be described as a series of carefully crafted character assassinations.
It ended up being the efficacy of Josh's words that finally switched Rob to the side of something's wrong with Josh' rather than the Josh is just a dick' opinion most of the others had landed on. The insults, revelations and verbal takedowns were so perfect, so hurtful that there was no way they hadn't been planned or rehearsed. Sure, it was possible Josh had rehearsed them himself as part of the `Josh is just a dick' scenario, but Rob couldn't allow himself to accept that.
When they received news of the school's plans to put the boys into paired isolation, Mr and Mrs Wilson had almost decided not to send Rob back to school at all, considering keeping him at home in light of the growing COVID-19 scare, but Rob had refused to even entertain the idea. He knew he had to get back to school, partly to protect Josh from the other dorm 1.01 boys, but mainly to finally get to the bottom of what was making him act so irrationally. He had finally managed to convince his parents, however, by insisting that he was actually safer from the pandemic at the school than he would have been at home. Kingswood was a closed community that seemed to be taking the strictest of measures. The logic was sound and Rob found himself heading back to the school as planned, his parents in the front seat, his little brother Milo beside him.
Being just eight, about to turn nine, the Wilsons hadn't really told Milo much about the pandemic for fear of scaring him, so as far as he knew, this was just another routine return to school for his big brother, so it was a little confusing seeing his parents get so over-emotional saying goodbye to Rob.
It was Mr Jenkins, Rob's science teacher, who came to collect him from the car park. As they made their way to the new temporary accommodation building, the teacher chattered away about the science of a pandemic, though Rob was not really paying attention. He was already worrying about who Josh might have been paired with, picturing him trapped in a room with Mikey or Danny, potentially coming to blows already. It was with a rather substantial amount of relief, and a healthy glob of nervousness that he found his own name with Josh's on the door to one of the rooms.
As they headed inside, Josh was sat on one of the beds, looking over at them both. As his eye caught Rob's, he smiled meekly, gestured to the other bed and said, "That'll be yours, neighbour!"
Rob felt like he'd been stabbed in the gut with a shard of ice. That was the first thing Josh had ever said to him on the day they met, directing him to his bunk in dorm 1.01. There was every chance it was a coincidence, but the look on Josh's face made it seem quite likely he had chosen the words deliberately, but more prominently, had even remembered them in the first place.
As Rob took a seat, Mr Jenkins started talking them through important stuff – health and safety procedures, how the lockdown would work, how they would get their meals – basically everything they needed to know upfront.
While the boys mostly stayed quiet, listening to the quite intimidating amount of new information, Josh did interrupt at one point, when Mr Jenkins explained the door locks and ID passes. "So no students can get into anyone else's rooms, like, at all?" he asked.
"Nope," Mr Jenkins said. "We've been very careful in making our arrangements here to ensure absolutely no chance of cross-contamination between students. I know that probably sounds quite scary and you'll miss your friends, but it's for everyone's safety and you'll all be back together soon!"
Josh looked almost elated with the news. When Mr Jenkins was finished with his tutorial, he headed out of the room, leaving the boys to get settled.
"So..." Rob started, looking over at Josh, wondering exactly how this was going to go.
Josh raised his hand to silence Rob, then pulled his phone out of his pocket, took a deep breath and turned it off. As he tossed it aside he looked to his friend and said, "I need a favour!"
Rob looked a little taken aback. It was not exactly what he had expected. "Go on," he prompted.
"I need you to let me put... what I said to you... on hold," Josh requested.
"On hold?" Rob asked.
"Yeah, like... pretend it didn't happen. Not forever, just for while we're in here. 14 days. That's all I'm asking. After that... say what you like, think what you like, do what you like but please... let me have these two weeks in here with you... as my friend," Josh requested. He took a breath, nervously watching Rob who remained silent, then added a gentle, "Please!"
"Josh... how am I supposed to do that?" Rob asked, shaking his head. "The things you said..."
"No, don't, please," Josh pleaded. "I'm begging you, just don't! I NEED this!"
Rob got up from his own bed and knelt on the end of Josh's. "Why?" he demanded. "Why do you need it? Why... won't you tell me what's going on?"
"I will," Josh answered with a slow nod. "But... at the end... not now! I just wanna be with my best friend!" He began to look quite tearful.
Rob sighed heavily. Things were making less and less sense, but seeing Josh so upset, even knowing what had gone down before, he couldn't bring himself to say no. "Okay," he agreed. "But what about the others?"
"I'll... settle things with them once we're out of here too, I promise!" Josh reassured him.
Rob just nodded.
"Hey, how's it going?" Rob asked cheerfully as he saw the two familiar faces appear on the screen of the large central monitor on the desk he would share with Josh for virtual classes. Danny had messaged a few moments earlier to ask if they could catch up.
"All good, here. It's a like a vacation... a really, really shit vacation!" Chris joked.
"You... on your own?" Danny asked, squinting to try and see the background behind Rob.
The moment Rob had mentioned the call was coming, Josh had hidden. He hadn't had the chance to try and coax him about before the call started. "Oh he's... in the bathroom!" Rob said awkwardly, technically not lying.
"He's actually hiding from us?" Danny asked, looking more than a little annoyed.
"No, he's... showering!" Rob lied, trying to cover for him.
"I don't hear a shower running!" Danny stated suspiciously.
A moment later the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Rob might have actually laughed at the painfully obvious cover if the whole situation weren't so confusing and depressing.
Danny shook his head and sighed. "Are you okay then?" he asked.
Rob nodded. "Yeah, things are... not too bad!"
"Has he said anything?" Chris asked.
Rob thought for a moment, unsure whether to share what Josh had asked for. "Sort of... but not really. I think... I think we might need to wait until we're out of here to really talk about it!"
"Hmm, that's pretty much what David said too," Danny replied with a slight nod.
"You've spoken to the others? How are they?" Rob asked eagerly.
Danny shrugged. "About as well as you'd expect, considering everything!"
"James had a message for Josh!" Chris said with a smirk.
"Yeah, I can probably guess it!" Rob said, rolling his eyes. He could understand any of the boys having something unpleasant to say, but James definitely seemed one of the most likely to actually say it.
"We should go so Josh can stop pretending to shower," Danny said a little coldly. "Message me if you need anything!"
"Thanks," Rob said with a smile. "See ya both soon!" As the call ended, he called out, "They're gone, you can come out now!"
The sound of the shower stopped, and Josh stepped out of the small bathroom. "Phew, I think we pulled it off!" he said with a cheeky grin.
Rob finally laughed.
Day 3
"Aaargh!" Rob yelled out, sitting up suddenly having felt a sudden impact on his face, waking him up.
Josh was sat on the other side of the room in his own bed, a rubber band stretched between his thumb and forefinger, laughing hysterically at the reaction.
"The fuck was that for?" Rob asked grumpily, casually tossing the folded up lump of paper back at Josh.
"For fun. Duh!" Josh said, still chuckling to himself.
"Dickhead," Rob grumbled, though he couldn't help but snigger. When Josh had requested to go back to being friends for the duration of the lockdown, he had not expected quite such a full reversion. This was like Josh at the beginning of the first term. He was lively and fun and annoying in the most entertaining ways possible. He was throwing out insults, but in the way he and Rob used to, good-naturedly rather than with intention to hurt. He found himself desperately hoping it was a sign of things to come after the lockdown ended.
"Got a game for us to play today during classes," Josh said with a grin. "Every time Chris or Danny touch each other without realising we all totally know they're doing it, we have to eat a haribo. First one to throw up, loses!"
"That's both genius and disgusting!" Rob said, shaking his head.
"Oh, so you don't wanna play?" Josh asked sadly.
Rob chuckled. "I said it's genius and disgusting... of COURSE I want to play!"
"Excellent!" Josh said happily. "I'll get the supplies ready. Starmix or supermix?" he asked, looking through his stash of sweets.
"Which is the one with the eggs?" Rob asked as he got up and headed for the bathroom.
"Starmix!" Josh replied as the door closed.
"Then Starmix it is, and if you touch my eggs, you lose a hand!" Rob shouted back through the door.
A few minutes later, as Rob emerged from the bathroom he found Josh carrying their breakfast over from the hatch where it had been delivered. "Grub's up!" he said cheerfully, taking a seat on the small sofa. Rob sat beside him.
They sat together eating while laughing hysterically at stupid videos on YouTube and by the time the food was all gone, Josh was just cuddled up against his friend, head resting on his shoulder as they killed some time before classes began.
"Josh," Rob said softly as he started another video playing.
"Mmm-huh," Josh hummed back absently.
"I wish you'd tell me what's wrong!" Rob pleaded.
Josh remained silent and sighed softly.
"Please," Rob begged. "Let me help!"
Josh stood up suddenly. "I'm gonna grab a quick shower before school," he said, ignoring the request entirely.
Rob just watched him disappear into the bathroom.
Day 6
"I think it'd be good for you to see the others, like, properly I mean," Rob insisted to the Josh-shaped mound hidden under the covers on his bed. "Not just being on the same screen as them during class, but actually talking to them!"
"I know when I'm not welcome!" Josh replied back, slightly muffled.
"They want you to be there!" Rob insisted. Danny had arranged for all of the dorm 1.01 boys to get together on a video call over dinner, supposedly to recreate a sense of normalcy by simulating their shared mealtimes back in the Home Building.
"No!" Josh snapped, throwing the covers back to reveal his head and chest. "Danny wants me there, but he's the only one!"
"That's not true," Rob said insistently, then added a little more weakly, "I do too... and if you want you there too, then that makes three of us which is technically almost half the dorm..."
Josh shook his head. "It'll be better if I stay out of it. All I'll do is cause arguments!"
Rob let out a sigh and shook his head. "Fine, but you're gonna have to see them all eventually," he said, then smiled and said, "Might be safer to do it online so they can't punch your teeth out!"
Josh just shook his head, clearly not appreciating the attempt at levity. "Do me a favour and turn the camera so they can't see me. Best to pretend I don't even exist. And stick your ear buds in too, I don't need to hear what they say about me!"
As Rob did as requested and seemingly answered the call as it came in, Josh pulled the covers back over his head, but left a tiny gap that he stared through, watching Rob on the call.
After a few moments, Rob glanced his way then said, "No, he... he isn't!"
He looked once more a few moments later but this time just shook his head.
As Josh watched, Rob flinched a little, recoiling a tiny bit. He opened his mouth to speak but appeared to hold back. He remained silent but looked increasingly distressed as the call went on.
Rob glanced round again and sighed. "Sorry Danny," he said meekly before clicking a button to end the call. He took out his ear buds and dropped them to the desk.
Josh climbed out of his bed and moved gingerly towards Rob. "How... did it go?" he asked, knowing it was a very loaded question.
Rob looked round at him, teary-eyed and just shook his head. Josh was beside him in moments, holding him. Rob sat gripping onto his friend, cheek against his stomach as he sighed heavily. The others, or at least some of them, remained absolutely furious with Josh. Rob knew he had promised to sort everything out when they got out of lockdown, but it was beginning to feel like the damage was utterly irreparable.
Day 9
Rob was awoken by sudden movement in his bed. As he drifted back into consciousness, he realised it was still dark and much too early to be awake. At his side, the source of the disturbance appeared to be Josh climbing into bed beside him. Neither of them spoke as they wrapped their arms around each other.
While cuddling was definitely more of a Chris thing, maybe even Danny or sometimes David, there had been times in the past when the two young friends had shared cuddles of their own. As Rob's mind quickly flew back over it, it was usually the result of Josh needing comfort. Much like right now, the cause of the need for comfort usually stayed hidden but that never stopped Rob from giving it as needed.
"You okay?" Rob whispered as Josh nuzzled against him.
"Mmmyeah," Josh said softly, then let out a quiet yawn.
"Okay," Rob mumbled back, then closed his eyes to try and return to sleep.
After a few moments, Josh hissed quietly, "Rob!"
"Mmm-huh," Rob replied, pulled back from the brink of sleep once again.
"What d'you wanna be when you grow up?" Josh asked.
"You wanna talk about this now?" Rob croaked grumpily.
"We can talk about something else if you like!" Josh said playfully.
Rob nearly told him to shut up and sleep, but considering how much of the last week had been spent with Josh refusing to talk about anything, a willing conversation, even about something unrelated to the issues, should probably be encouraged. "Well." Rob said, thinking about it. "I was talking to Mr Trent about some of the school buildings, cos I was really fascinated by them and he said it sounded like I might want to consider something like being an architect or a..." he paused, remembering the correct name, "Or a structural engineer or something!"
Josh thought for a moment then nodded a little. "Yeah," he said softly. "Yeah I can totally see that, and I think you'd look cute in a hard hat too," he joked, getting a playful giggle from Rob. He sighed and went quiet.
"So Josh..." Rob said, wanting to keep it going. "What do YOU want to be when you grow up?"
Josh took a deep breath but as he exhaled it was slightly shaky. He replied meekly. "All I want to be... is happy!"
[Is Josh still alive????] the message popped up on Rob's phone.
"Ugh," Rob groaned, dropping his phone to the seat beside him as he looked over at Josh. "Your brother's messaging again!"
"Which one?" Josh asked, placing his tablet down. He frowned and corrected himself, "Wait, it doesn't matter. Just ignore it anyway!"
It was an almost daily occurrence now. Josh had turned his phone off as soon as the lockdown began and hadn't turned it back on since, his intention to put everything off until they got out seemingly applying to every relationship aside from his friendship with Rob, even his family.
"Does this mean... you've not been talking to Alex either?" Rob asked cautiously.
Josh let out a gentle sigh. "No, I haven't," he said, sounding surprisingly sad about it.
"Do you... miss him?" Rob asked, his tone suggesting he was incredulous of the very concept.
Josh rolled his eyes and sat up, looking over at the sofa where Rob was sat. "If I say yes, are you gonna go on a rant about him or start asking more questions?" he asked, clearly frustrated.
In all honesty, Rob probably would have done one of those exact things but figured maybe his own attitude and opinion was getting in the way of Josh actually opening up so he smiled and said, "No, I'm just asking!"
"Then... yes!" Josh said, quite pointedly. "I actually DO miss him!"
Rob used every bit of willpower he had to fight his natural urges and asked, "So... what is it you see in him?" As he saw Josh's face begin to twist angrily he added, "Not being shady, I'm genuinely curious, what do you like about him?"
Josh's expression softened at the clarification and he took a deep breath, thinking about the older boy. "It's... complicated," he said, his head bobbing a little. "He's definitely a twat, but... well there's more to him than that. It's... I dunno, I guess I'll explain it all..."
"After lockdown," Rob said, just as Josh said it himself. He rolled his eyes a little. "Everything's after lockdown. Why not deal with some of it now?"
"Because I don't want to!" Josh said, beginning to get petulant.
"Fine, okay," Rob conceded. They had danced this dance at least once a day since the lockdown started and he knew that once it got to this stage, pushing for any more would only result in raised voices or silence.
Day 13
Rob emerged from the bathroom, the school day having not long finished. He paused, unsure whether to laugh or call for help as he saw Josh sat on his bed, completely naked, legs spread and head down as he fiddled with his chastity device.
"The fuck are you doing?" Rob asked. He looked at back at the bathroom and asked, "How long was I in there? Did you go insane from loneliness?"
"I'm taking this thing off!" Josh insisted. As he raised his head and Rob moved round to get a closer look, he could see Josh was fiddling at the lock with what looked like a straightened paper clip.
"You do know we're not supposed to do that, right?" Rob asked, shaking his head disapprovingly.
Josh looked round. "Is anyone who's gonna tell us off for it in this room?"
"No, but..." Rob started.
"Exactly. I haven't been unlocked since before half-term. I need a proper wash and I need a wank and I've nearly..." Josh paused, his tongue poking out the corner of his mouth as he felt movement in the lock. "YUSSSS! Got it!" he declared happily as it unlocked and he quickly set about removing the various parts.
"I can't believe that worked!" Rob said, shaking his head.
"Come here, I'll do yours!" Josh said, shuffling to the side of the bed, now fully naked.
Rob stared at the naked boy nervously. In their six months together, he had seen Josh `almost' naked on a very regular basis, both in the dorm and before/after rugby practice, but he had always been in the chastity device, just as Rob had himself. The device covered such a small area, yet the difference of seeing him without it felt astronomical... but so too did the prospect of being seen himself without it.
"I don't wanna get in trouble," Rob said nervously.
"Relax, we can put `em back on before we leave tomorrow," Josh reassured him. "Come on, get your kit off!" He spread his legs and waggled his hips a little, making his tiny, shrivelled cock wag as much as it was able to. "I've shown you mine, now you show me yours!"
Rob sighed. He knew this was against the rules, but like Josh said, who would ever know? He moved in front of Josh and then nervously pushed his trousers and underwear down to his ankles, then lifted the front of his shirt so Josh had an unobstructed view of the device.
Josh reached round and grabbed one of Rob's buttocks in his hand. He looked up at the other boy and grinned as he said, "This isn't part of removing it, I'm literally just feeling you up!"
Rob sniggered and slapped the hand away playfully. "Just unlock it!" he demanded.
Josh got to work on the lock as Rob stared down at him, leaning side to side as Josh moved, trying to keep the best view he could of his naked friend. He began to feel a little discomfort and wondered if it was a result of the attempt to pick the lock, but quicky released it was simply the sensation of getting hard while still in the device.
"Got it!" Josh declared happily.
"Wait!" Rob called out as Josh removed the front plate, but it was too late. His cock sprang free, standing solid at its full, modest, three inches.
"Oh, cool!" Josh said happily as he saw the erection, sniggering as he looked up at Rob's blushing face. "Is this your usual reaction to being unlocked, or do I get to take the credit?" he asked playfully.
"Probably a bit of both," Rob mumbled with a hint of a smirk.
"Take the rest of your clothes off. We should go shower and then... see what happens!" Josh suggested.
"You mean shower together?" Rob asked. "In there? It's tiny!"
"Oh no, we'll probably... be pressed right up against each other," Josh feigned distress, but grinned.
"What about... Alex?" Rob asked, cautious of running the mood.
"Well he's welcome to join us, but that doesn't seem likely!" Josh chuckled. "Now come on. I wanna get clean... and then dirty again!" He headed for the bathroom, grinning.
Several minutes and a lot of awkward positions later, the two giggling boys emerged from the bathroom. Just as Rob had predicted, it was a tight squeeze for two of them but that just meant they ended up having to wash each other instead of themselves. They both emerged sporting full-on erections, though being undeveloped as yet, Rob's three inches looked positively large compared to Josh's even smaller dick.
"So unfair, isn't it!" Josh pouted, looking down at their erections as they stood together in the middle of the room.
"What is?" Rob asked.
"Put together two of mine and one of yours and we're probably still shorter than Nicky's!" Josh said with a dejected smirk.
Rob shrugged. "It's no big deal. We'll grow. I reckon by the time you're done you'll be even bigger than Nicky!"
"Think about my dick a lot, do you?" Josh teased, then bit his lip playfully.
"I think about DICK a lot," Rob explained. "Being locked kinda means thinking about it is all I CAN do. Your dick just happens to be one of the ones I think about!"
"That's a lot of words for yes!" Josh teased. As Rob blushed, Josh leaned in and whispered, "I think about yours too! Can I... touch it?"
Rob nodded nervously. As Josh reached out and ran his fingers across the top of the small, rigid cock, Rob let out a gentle gasp.
"Hnnh, cool," Josh said happily, staring down at his friend's penis as he caressed it playfully. After a few moments he raised his gaze, staring down into the slightly shorter boy's eyes and said, "You can touch mine too... if you want to!"
Breathing heavily, Rob reached out and took hold of the tiny dick. While six months in chastity had gotten him out of the habit of touching his own, he still knew how it felt in his hand, so it was strange to feel the smaller tool between his fingers. He suddenly found himself thinking of Sam, his mentor. Throughout their time together, the older boy had been thorough in his duties on giving Rob a sexual education. They had talked about various sexual acts and discussed different relationship types, but he had also been providing more `hands-on' training too.
At the beginning of the year, Sam's reviews of Rob's skills in stroking and sucking dicks had been brutally honest in stating he was far from the best, but gradually over time his skills had improved, and this was the first chance, outside of his meetings with Sam, for Rob to show them off.
For now though, the two boys were just enjoying the simple touching as they stood together, getting used to the feel of each other's penis in their hands. Caressing slowly turned to stroking. Stroking led to moaning. Moaning increased the desire for each other and before they knew it, their bodies were pressed together, half-hugging, half mutual masturbation.
As their bodies and cocks rubbed together, their skin still slightly clammy from the shared shower, both boys got lost in the sensation, enjoying a closeness that they had never achieved before in their friendship. Rob was first to orgasm, followed moments later by Josh, but as neither was capable of ejaculation yet, it was only the throbbing twitch of their cocks and ecstatic moans that gave away to each other that they had reached climax.
"No cum yet," Rob grumbled as they parted and looked down. That meant more time locked in chastity, for both of them.
"Yeah, but no clean-up either!" Josh said cheerfully. "And I don't know about you, but I could totally go again!"
"Hmm, maybe," Rob mused, looking down at their still-hard dicks between them.
"Maybe you need a little... convincing!" Josh said with a mischievous grin. He raised both hands and gently tweaked Rob's nipples.
"FUCK!" Rob yelped, jumping away.
"S... sorry," Josh stuttered, "Did I hurt you?" he asked nervously.
Rob shook his head, eyes wide as he grinned. "No, the opposite. I have... REALLY sensitive nipples," he confessed. Blushing a little, he added with a strange sense of almost-pride, "Sam's nearly made me cum just from playing with them before!"
Josh's eyes narrowed. "Nearly?" he said thoughtfully. He nodded, looking resolute. "We can definitely beat nearly!" He playfully shoved Rob onto the bed and straddled him. "This is gonna be fun!" he declared excitedly.
The evening had been frustrating for Rob, but for a change it was frustrating in quite an enjoyable way. Josh had been determined to achieve his goal of triggering a hands-free orgasm from just playing with Rob's nipples and though he hadn't achieved it yet, he had got close. They had only stopped in order to have dinner and then to join in the quiz Mr Trent had arranged to entertain all the Year 7s.
Although Josh sat beside him for the quiz, as he had for all of the online group activities throughout the fortnight, he had stayed quiet, not really taking part. Instead he just sat tapping away at something on his tablet, careful to keep it out of sight of the camera.
"And the winner is..." Mr Trent said, pausing for dramatic effect.
"Not us!" Rob whispered, getting a mindless smirk from Josh.
"James and David!" Mr Trent announced.
"Told ya!" Rob muttered.
There was mostly polite applause from the other fifteen pairs as the winner of the quiz was announced, though a few boys playfully called out, "Cheats!" "They were so googling the answers!" "Nobody knows that much!"
"If you all spent as long studying as you do touching yourselves in the shower, you might have stood a chance!" James replied, only half joking.
Mr Trent frowned at the rather mean response as much as he had to the previous comments and said, "Hey, easy! Keep it polite fellas!"
"Fine," James said with an eye roll. "Well played everyone!"
"That's better," the teacher said with a gentle nod. "Well thank you all for playing. Now just in case you'd forgotten..." he paused, giving wry grin and knowing there was no way anyone could forget this, "Lockdown ends tomorrow and I'm delighted to confirm we have absolutely no sign of any virus-related symptoms anywhere in the school, so all doors will be unlocked at 8 ready for breakfast to begin over in the Dining Hall."
There was a loud cheer from all 32 of the Year 7 boys, clearly glad to have made it through the isolation period. Rob heard a slight whimper from Josh.
"After breakfast, you can come back and start moving your personal items back to your regular dorms," Mr Trent explained. He continued giving more details of what would happen, but the chatter from the boys had grown so loud it was mostly lost. Eventually he called out across the din, "But that's all for tonight. See you all tomorrow in person!"
As soon as the teacher signed off, Rob reached over to drop out of the group call too, keen to make sure nobody said anything bad to Josh now that the adult supervision was gone but paused just before he hit the button. "Josh, look!" he declared, grinning.
As Josh glanced to the part of the screen where Rob was pointing, they could see a naked Danny removing Chris' t-shirt, leaving him nude too. "Fuck!" Josh chuckled.
Rob immediately turned off their own camera and muted their microphone but remained in the call, full-screening Danny and Chris. "We shouldn't be watching this!" Rob said sternly.
"But we're gonna, right?" Josh asked, hopefully.
"Of course!" Rob sniggered.
"Is our camera definitely off?" Josh asked before he moved. Getting a definite nod from Rob, he quickly grabbed the other boy's t-shirt and yanked it off, then reached down to remove his shorts too, leaving Rob sat in the desk chair, naked.
"What are you doing?" Rob asked, giggling as Josh removed his own clothes.
"Getting a little help!" Josh said as he moved behind Rob. He placed his hands on his friend's bare shoulders, then let his fingers slowly slide down until they reached his nipples, getting an excited moan. "Enjoy the show and let me know when you cum!" he whispered.
Rob had felt momentarily bad, watching his friends on screen, knowing they were unaware of their audience, but at the same time he was just getting a taste of true sexual satisfaction, beyond the quick wanks he'd had before getting locked in chastity. His own pleasure easily dwarfed any guilt he had over enjoying his friends' public humiliation.
The fingers on his nipples were working their magic, but it was only when Josh took things a little further that Rob found himself pushed over the edge. Josh's lips made contact with his neck, kissing it gently, then licking a short way round before planting another gentle kiss. His lips and tongue explored Rob's shoulders, neck and ears.
Gripping tightly onto the arms of the chair and whimpering excitedly, Rob eventually called out, "Josh... I'm cumming!"
Josh peered over Rob's shoulder, staring down in absolute delight at the small, solid cock twitching away at another dry orgasm. "Told you I could do it!" he whispered, then slid his tongue around the rim of Rob's ear.
"I wanna do you now!" Rob said, grabbing Josh's arm to pull him round the front.
"Hnnh, my nipples aren't quite so sensitive!" Josh chuckled.
"I actually had something else in mind," Rob said coyly. He reached round and cupped both of Josh's slender buttocks in his hands and used it to pull the boy closer, then leaned in and wrapped his lips around the tiny cock.
"Ah fuck, yes!" Josh moaned happily.
Chris and Danny remained on screen, enjoying each other obliviously, but neither Rob nor Josh were paying it any attention now. Rob used every skill, remembered every lesson he had been taught and focused fully on making Josh feel as good as possible. It was quite different working on a dick so much smaller than Sam's and he found he was actually able to take Josh's dick and balls into his mouth at the same time, using his tongue to tease one then the other.
Josh was whimpering happily but eventually had to grab onto Rob's shoulders to steady himself, his legs going a little weak. Sensing the problem, Rob pulled away, stood and lifted Josh off the ground. Despite being a good ten centimetres taller than Rob, he was also lighter. It was a slight struggle, but it was only a short distance and Rob managed to toss the lighter boy onto one of the beds, quickly jumping on after him.
Taking the smooth cock back into his mouth, Rob worked quickly, eager to take Josh over the brink as he lay writhing with pleasure, occasionally allowing his fingers to slide through Rob's hair or caress his shoulder.
"Oh God, I'm cumming!" Josh moaned happily.
Rob continued his oral assault as Josh wriggled and moaned ecstatically. As he eventually pulled away, he felt a hand on his shoulder as Josh called out, "Don't stop!"
"What?" Rob asked, grinning curiously.
"Don't stop! Keep sucking!" Josh demanded.
"Hnnh, okay," Rob agreed and resumed.
Josh continued to make pleasured whimpers, though Rob had a feeling there was a little discomfort in there too. He had tried carrying on after a dry orgasm before and it had been too sensitive, stopping him in his tracks. Josh, despite the hint of discomfort, still seemed to be in the throes of delight.
Rob sucked away, wondering how long Josh could take it until he heard a high-pitched, "I'm cumming!"
Rob felt his own cock twitch, stimulated by the sheer, amazed pleasure in Josh's tone. He felt the tiny dick spasm between his lips again and when it stopped, looked up and asked, "Carry on?"
"Yeah!" Josh gasped, nodding, looking somewhere between amazed and scared.
Rob wasted no time getting back to work. With even less of a break this time, and having cum twice in quick succession, the sensitivity was even more intense but Josh seemed able to take it. Within a minute, he was moaning out a third dry orgasm. Rob didn't even ask to carry on, he just continued, figuring Josh would say when he'd had enough.
It was after a fourth orgasm, with Rob attempting to suck his way to a fifth that Josh finally conceded. "Enough, s... stop!" he stuttered.
"Dude," Rob said, kneeling up to look down at the naked, sweaty body that was still convulsing on the bed. "That. Was. Mental!"
Josh stared up at Rob, then grabbed his hand. With a sharp yank, he pulled the other boy towards him and pressed their lips together. Rob was a little shocked by the move, unsure what it meant, if anything, but in the moment it felt right so he went with it, enjoying his first kiss with his best friend as they lay together catching their breath.
"I love you Rob," Josh whispered as the kiss parted and they nestled together.
"I love you too," Rob whispered back.
They lay together for a few moments, enjoying the closeness but serenity soon gave way to sleep.
Day 14
Rob was woken by the sound of the door closing. Sitting up to look round, he saw Josh was gone but he could hear a lot of noise outside. As he got dressed, he opened the door a crack and heard a conversation taking place at the door across the hall.
"Fuck, what's going on?" he heard Mikey ask.
A voice Rob recognised but couldn't quite place replied, "Didn't you see? Last night, after the quiz, Chris and Danny didn't turn their camera off and got off together, but it turns out Chris and Kyle are MEANT to be exclusive! Kyle saw EVERYTHING!"
"Fuck!" both Mikey and Nicky exclaimed at once.
Rob rolled his eyes. Today was going to be hard enough having Josh reunite with the dorm. The last thing he needed was more drama going down. On the bright side though, it did potentially draw some of the negative attention away from his best friend. That had to be a good thing.
Now that he was dressed, he stepped out into the hallway. There was no sign of Josh in the crowd around Danny and Chris' door and he suspected it had just made the perfect cover for him to slip away unseen. Rob decided to do the same but as he made his way out into the school grounds, he had absolutely no idea where Josh had actually gone. After looking around for a while, he bumped into Chris, Mikey and James who were heading for breakfast, admittedly all looking a little glum, and decided to go with them, the other three seemingly glad at Josh's absence.
The atmosphere in the Dining Hall over breakfast had been exuberant, boys from every Year celebrating their reunions and return to relative freedom. However, a cloud of gloom hung heavily over the four boys from dorm 1.01. Rob had a pretty good suspicion as to why Chris was so down, but he didn't really have either the energy or desire to probe into what was bothering the other two. Instead he remained focused on watching the door for any sign of Josh.
"Well this is fun," Mikey said sarcastically, but Rob ignored it. "Can't wait to get back to the dorm!"
Rob spotted Mr Trent rush in, but paid him no attention, still hoping for Josh to show.
"Something's going on!" Mikey said urgently, grabbing Rob's attention.
As he looked round at the teacher's table, Mr Everett and Mr Reeves were moving either way down the long table whispering things to the other faculty before dashing towards the door. A couple of teachers and Dr Arkwright went with them, while a couple more stopped at the large double doors and closed them.
"Please can you all remain in your seats until we give permission to leave!" Mr Fitzsimmons announced from the door as he saw students beginning to stand.
The teachers seemed to be determined not to let the students know what was happening, but there were a few beeps and buzzes as messages arrived from outside the room. Whatever was in the messages quickly rippled through the room like an informational Mexican wave.
"What's going on?" Mikey asked Brandon White, the dorm 1.03 boy sat off to his side as the whispering reached him.
"They're saying there's someone up on the roof," Brandon said nervously. "And he's going to jump!"
The words were like a jolt of electricity to Rob. He knew Josh had a lot to handle, but he had seemed so happy, and their encounter last night had been nothing short of beautiful. It couldn't be him... could it?
