Tales from Kingswood
Chapter 32
Tuesday 12 May 2020
"Isn't it ironic?" Danny asked with a slightly awkward smirk.
Chris rolled his eyes. "No, Alanis. It's not!" he said grumpily.
"Alanis?" Kyle asked, his confusion pushing him through the awkwardness enough to speak up.
Chris shook his head. Just a few days prior, he and Danny had resumed their old habit of listening to music together, with Chris continuing his musical exploration while Danny was just along for the ride, enjoying Chris' passion for the subject. One of the artists they had listened to was Alanis Morrisette and one song in particular that had irritated Chris somewhat. "There's this old singer who has a whole song about stuff that's ironic... but most of it isn't even ironic!" he grumbled. "And neither is this!"
"Me, you and Kyle... stuck working together..." Danny said with a hint of a smirk, "Working on an experiment to demonstrate friction! You really don't see the irony?" Danny was desperate to see the funny side of the situation. When he had been grouped together with Chris and Kyle he had been worried it would be awkward and he was determined to avoid a slide back into the unhappy mood he had spent the past few weeks climbing out of.
Normally, science lessons like this were a highlight for the boys. Lessons like this often consisted of wild experimentation. There was a massive storeroom full of supplies that the boys could search through to put together a demonstration of whatever current principle they were studying. Today, it was all about friction, which could not have been more appropriate.
Ten weeks earlier, Chris and Kyle's relationship had come to an explosive end and their friendships with Danny had been decimated by the fallout of it. While they had all begun to build bridges since it all kicked off, the three were still a long way from the almost-inseparable trio they had once been.
"How is that not ironic?" Danny asked, not letting the silence get a foothold.
"It's... well, irony is more... like if we..." Chris tried to explain, then huffed and shook his head. "It's just not! Okay! Can we just focus and try to figure out what we're gonna do!"
"Well, we could always talk about what's bothering us," Kyle suggested gingerly.
"I meant what we're gonna do for the experiment!" Chris sniggered. As Kyle blushed shyly, Chris stroked his arm and said, "But we should probably do your thing too some time," he paused to look at Danny and said, "Right?"
Danny inhaled as he looked from Kyle to Chris and back, then nodded slowly as he exhaled.
Chris had been a little confused by the tension between the other two boys at first. He understood why Kyle was pissed at him. Chris had lied to him for months and fooled around with Danny behind his back. Similarly, he understood why Danny was pissed at him. Chris had made him unknowingly hurt someone he cared about, as well as lying to him too. Eventually he had come to realise the issues. Even though Kyle knew Danny hadn't knowingly been the guy Chris cheated with, Danny was still a walking reminder of Chris' infidelity. While for Danny, Kyle was the boy who had asked Chris to cut back the relationship between them.
Despite the many issues, all three were gradually beginning to move towards forgiveness, yet they still remained awkwardly distant from each other.
"Shall we go have a look in the stores, see if any ideas come to us," Chris suggested, pointing the storeroom. "Looks like most of the others are done in there now."
As the boys began searching through the supplies, they casually bounced ideas off of each other, joking playfully as bizarre and ridiculous ideas came to them. They were encouraged to use their creativity on their presentations and, so long as what they did related sufficiently to the subject, Mr Jenkins was normally happy with whatever was produced.
Chris was looking through a box of random knick-knacks when he spotted Danny and Kyle whispering to each other. While it was nice to see them together again, the mischievous looks on their faces worried him a little. He knew he was in trouble when he heard Kyle ask Mr Jenkins, "Sir, do we have any baby oil?"
Josh hated missing science class, not because of a particular love of the subject, more because he knew the sort of lesson they were having today and the fun that could ensue. He still remembered fondly the `demonstration' he and the other boys had given on the motion of the solar system while rolling round on desk chairs. It had all been going so well until Chris decided he was going to be a rogue asteroid and obliterated the known universe!
Today was an important day though. A potential conclusion of sorts to something he had spent most of his life believing would never end. He had not shared what he was doing with anyone except Danny, who had become very much his confidante about everything related to his brothers. Danny had found that talking to Josh, as opposed to hiding from him as he had done at first, had helped him to process everything. In doing so, he also allowed Josh to finally talk about his issues with someone who knew all the grisly details, the kind he was reluctant to share with others in the dorm for fear of traumatising them too.
While Rob remained Josh's best friend, Danny had proven himself to be a loyal and passionate ally in supporting Josh through the difficult time. Despite all of that, even Danny didn't quite know the full extent of what today could mean for Josh though. There had been meetings, and assessments, and reports. They had discussed the options and the possible outcomes, the impact of his choices and long-term repercussions, but he had finally decided how he wanted his future to look and, thanks to the well-connected and well-resourced Kingswood legal team, pushed things through the justice system at a pace unheard of un normal circumstances. The fact they had gotten results during the pandemic was nothing short of miraculous.
"And you're sure this is what you want, Joshua?" the solicitor asked, seemingly oblivious to the frustrated look on Josh's face.
"Josh!" Mr Trent said firmly.
Considering the way his brothers used Joshua' as a taunt for him, rather than the Josh' he much preferred, it was annoying how often he had been called by his full name throughout the past ten weeks. He was glad some of the adults involved respected his choices though. "Yes Sir, completely!" he said with a nod.
"And you know this is... not something that could be easily undone. If we make this request and it's granted, this will be effectively permanent!" the man warned cautiously.
"I know, Sir, but I think it's the best thing for me, my Mum and... for them!" Josh said, not even wanting to say his brothers' names.
"And are you sure he has considered the full ramifications of this?" the solicitor addressed the question to Dr Arkwright, who sat one side of Josh while Mr Trent sat the other.
It was another thing Josh had reluctantly gotten used to – being talked about like he wasn't in the room and treated like a child. Thankfully that was rare and most adults at the school had been kind, supportive and sensitive to the terrible things he had been through, treating him like a young man, able to speak for himself. It was something that made him appreciate the school all the more. At Kingswood he got treated like an actual person and not just `a kid'.
Dr Arkwright placed a hand gently on Josh's back and said, "We've discussed it at great length, both in regard to the practicalities of how such an arrangement would work and also the emotional impact it will have in both the short and long term." He looked to Josh for a moment, giving a questioning look. One final check. The nod he got in return prompted him on. "Josh is a very mature, capable young man and I am confident that if he is sure this is the best outcome for himself and his family, then it's the right decision. He has the full backing and support of this establishment!"
The solicitor nodded. "Okay, well I'll be having a video conference later and, unusual as this is, I suspect the judge will have no issue with it. It's one more case off his docket and they need every bit of help they can get at the moment! I'll contact you with more news later!"
As the solicitor signed off, Josh exhaled heavily.
"You did great," Mr Trent said reassuringly.
"If..." Josh started, pausing and frowning thoughtfully. "If it does... go the way I want it to, does everyone have to know about it?"
"Well," the young teacher nodded, "The teachers will be told, just because it's important they're aware of the changes and for them to be able to fully support you, but beyond that it's really up to you. If you just want to tell a few close friends, that's fine, but if you don't want anyone to know at all, that's okay too. You're in control here, Josh."
Dr Arkwright looked to Mr Trent who nodded back, knowing what else the doctor wanted to add.
"But keep in mind, it may be good for at least a few people to know, just so you're not keeping it all bottled up on your own," Mr Trent went on.
"I will. I'd... like to tell the guys in my dorm. Would you be able to be with me when I do?" Josh asked, doe-eyed.
"Of course," Mr Trent nodded, gently grabbing Josh's shoulder. "But let's wait and see the outcome and then decide what you wanna do, okay?"
Josh nodded happily.
"Round of applause for James, David, Ben and JC everyone!" Mr Jenkins said, starting the applause for the demonstration that had just finished. "First time I've seen Star Wars roleplaying used in such a creative way, but I feel it's important to point out the difference between the force required to move an object along a surface and `the force' used to do jedi tricks. Very different things but still well demonstrated!"
The four boys returned to their seats, James still playfully continuing his lightsaber (broom handle!) duel with JC from dorm 1.04.
"Next up, we've got..." Mr Jenkins started, looking down at the list. "Chris, Danny and Kyle!"
"Ooooh!" most of the class chorused.
"Well that's ominous. Anything I need to know?" Mr Jenkins asked with a curious frown as the three boys headed to the front.
"No Sir, just nosey gits with nothing better to talk about," Chris said coldly, still the subject of a lot of unpleasantness from the boys of 1.04 for what he had done to Kyle.
"Anyway, onto the demonstration!" Danny called out, eager to avoid anything kicking off. "While my lovely assistants prepare the field," he gestured to Kyle and Chris who were unrolling a long plastic sheet down the length of the classroom, "I'm going to ask each of you to take a guess on how far we can slide Chris down this sheet!"
"What!" Mr Jenkins exclaimed, mildly concerned about safety.
"Yeah, what?" Chris asked, staring back at the other boy. They had deliberately not shared with him the details of what was planned and simply told him to `go with it', but he was not prepared for anything quite so... violent!
"It's okay Sir, we'll be careful," Kyle said with a grin as he finished unrolling the sheet.
Mr Jenkins frowned again but nodded, ready to intervene if needed.
"So please stand by the point you think Chris will reach," Danny instructed, knowing that audience participation always went down well in these lessons.
The boys gathered and stood at various intervals down the length of the course.
"Okay, everyone picked?" Danny said, looking down at the gathered 1.01 and 1.04 boys. "Chris, on your stomach please!"
"If you kill me I'm gonna be pissed," Chris muttered at the other two angrily, getting a giggle back from both.
Kyle and Danny grabbed Chris, each taking an arm and leg and then swung him back and forth three times before launching him along the sheet. There was a cheer from the crowd as they let go, followed by a disappointed moan as he barely moved a few feet.
"And who can tell us why he didn't get very far?" Kyle called out.
"Cos you two are wimps!" Mikey called out, getting a laugh from everyone except Mr Jenkins who gave him a disapproving look.
"It's friction!" David called out, raising his hand unnecessarily. "Chris' clothes against the plastic!"
"That's right," Kyle called back.
"But what will happen if we reduce the friction on one of the surfaces?" Danny asked, gesturing to Kyle who grabbed a bottle of baby oil and started squirting it along the plastic sheeting as Chris returned to the end.
"He'll slide further!" David called out eagerly.
"That's the plan. So you may want to reconsider your guesses," Danny suggested.
There was a sudden flurry of movement as the other boys moved down the line closer to where Chris had ended up the first time before taking a step back as they considered the impact of the additional lubricant.
With another three count, Chris was launched down the sheet, sliding a little further than the first go with more cheers from the others.
"And there we go, less friction means more distance," Danny announced as Chris stood, the front of his shirt now stuck to him and slightly transparent from the oil it had soaked up.
"Very good, if a little messy," Mr Jenkins called out.
"Oh we're not done yet Sir!" Kyle said excitedly.
"We're not?" Chris asked as he carefully walked back to join them.
"So we've reduced friction on one of the surfaces, but what's gonna happen if we reduce friction on the other surface too?" Danny asked the other boys.
"Chris face-plants that wall!" Tim from 1.04 said, pointing to the wall at the end of the slide and getting a laugh from the class.
"Let's hope not," Mr Jenkins said, amused and seemingly aware of where the boys were heading.
"So what's the best way to reduce friction here?" Kyle asked, gesturing to Chris' oily façade.
"WOOO. Chris is getting naked!" Mikey called out excitedly. It got a cheer from the crowd.
"No!" Chris complained.
"Go ahead," Kyle urged him.
Chris rolled his eyes and said, "Fine!" then quickly loosened his tie, undid a couple of buttons on his shirt and tried tugging it over his head. The fabric stuck to his body made it difficult and the other two ended up helping him, tossing the soggy material aside before moving onto his trousers.
Within moments, Chris was stood in front of the class in nothing but his boxers.
"Come on Chris," Danny urged him with a smirk as the rest of the class giggled.
"It's for science!" Kyle added.
Chris let out a low moan then pushed his boxers down, cupping his cock and balls in one hand as he kicked them aside.
"And to reduce friction as much as possible," Danny called out over the comments, laughs and general noise. "A little help!" He squirted the bottle of baby oil onto Chris' chest before he and Kyle started rubbing it over him.
Chris felt his hand get pulled away as Danny worked on the upper body while Kyle squatted down to oil up his legs, both boys meeting in the middle. The exposure, the humiliation and the rubbing had Chris hard before they had even touched his cock, the crowd going wild as they watched his dick swell to full firmness. Mr Jenkins just sat letting the scene play out, clearly as amused as the boys.
Finishing off the application of the oil, Kyle took the balls while Danny stroked the rigid tool. As Chris let out a pleasured moan, James called out, "Looks like Chris is enjoying that friction too!"
Mr Jenkins nodded at the comedically accurate comment as the rest of the crowd guffawed.
Chris' blushes were so profuse, the redness stretched down his neck and onto his shoulders as he stood fully exposed before the class. While a big part of him enjoyed the attention and humiliation, the fact remained he was naked, in a classroom, with his classmates watching. Fantasy or not, it was nightmare fuel for just about anybody!
"Okay, let's see your guesses this time!" Danny said, unashamedly continuing to stroke Chris' cock in front of the class.
The boys spectating quickly moved, all going much further down the line this time, a couple going as far as the end.
With a one, two, three, Chris was launched for a third time, speeding along the slick plastic like a human bowling ball but letting out a prolonged moan as his cock slid against the ground beneath him. As it dragged back a little, it popped free from beneath his body, pointing back towards Danny and Kyle as he flew along, the engorged meat receiving what felt like one continuous pleasurable stroke.
When he came to a stop and glanced up at the dozen boys watching his naked embarrassment, he let out another whimper. Whether from the stroking before he slid, the friction (how appropriate) of the slide, or simply the sheer embarrassment of laying naked in front of two dorms of boys, he reached his limit. With his legs spread and his cock still splayed between them, it throbbed and shot a few quick spurts of cum onto the oily plastic as the spectators went wild.
Chris let out a moan that was as much pleasure as frustration as the watching boys gathered in closer, teasing and taunting. The 1.04 boys in particular seemed to be enjoying the other boy's apparent suffering.
"Well that was certainly an impressive display of friction!" Mr Jenkins called out over the din of the laughing and cheering boys. "Now I believe time is nearly up, so if you could all please lend a hand cleaning up, once the room is tidy you're free to go to afternoon break!"
There was another cheer from the boys. Finishing early for a break was always popular.
Chris climbed to his feet, slightly shaky from the unexpected orgasm. It hadn't been a particularly intense one. In fact, Chris barely felt like he had orgasmed at all, like he had just been on the brink, but ejaculated anyway.
"That was so fun!" Kyle said excitedly.
"Chris clearly agrees," Danny sniggered.
"I hate you both!" Chris mumbled, shaking his head. At least he figured the embarrassment was over now. He, of course, figured wrong.
"Oh Chris, your clothes are soaked in baby oil," Mr Jenkins said, glancing at the pile of discarded clothing. "James, go pop them in the laundry, could you?"
"My pleasure, Sir!" James said, shooting Chris a devilish grin as he quickly ran off with the naked boy's clothes.
"You can nip back to the Home Building on break to get clean clothes," Mr Jenkins instructed casually.
"Yes Sir," Chris said politely as the boys around him sniggered. He gave his two best (ex-best, future-best??) friends another death stare as they both laughed at his misfortune.
Diving Club was always a quiet activity when compared to other extra-curriculars, mainly due to the number of students who attended it. While half of the thirty-two Year 7 boys attended Football club and almost that many took part in Rugby and Swimming, only three Year 7 boys frequented Diving Club.
At the beginning of the year, different age groups had been put together for practices. At the time, Nicky had been delighted to have his group paired up with Year 10 as it meant he got to see more of his mentor and boyfriend-at-the-time Will but when they had broken up following the Covid lockdown he had realised how difficult it would make things.
Will had offered to drop out of the club entirely, but Nicky had made another suggestion instead. Nicky already missed Diving on Thursdays in favour of attending Debate Club so he agreed to skip Mondays too, giving each of them two sessions a week they could attend without bumping into each other. It had worked well, but as the weeks passed by and Nicky's feelings on the breakup began to settle, he offered to end the agreement, and both return to full-time attendance. Tonight was the first session they would both be attending. Of all the problems Nicky had imagined from being around Will again, his current one had not even crossed his mind.
Sitting on a bench near the ladder to one of the high-dive boards, he was cross-legged and hunched over. For a boy who was painfully body conscious, an activity with a dress-code of a speedo was already a challenge. It was only the fact that so few other boys attended that made him able to do it, but even then it remained a constant source of worry for him.
Aside from his exceptionally skinny body, the biggest (pun intended) embarrassment for him was his dick. At five inches and moderately thick while flaccid, it was not uncommon for people to think he was sporting an erection. Now though, he actually was! His cock had swollen to its full seven inches, possibly more, he hadn't measured it since before coming to the school, and he placed the blame solely on Will. The older boy had just walked in so casually, so confidently, the body Nicky knew so well fully on show and looking torturously tantalising.
Nicky kept willing his cock to go down. A small cock was impossible to hide in a speedo when erect, but his own monstrous tool was verging on comedic, although clearly more tragic comedy' than laugh out loud comedy' based on how Nicky was feeling. "Go down, go down, go down, go down," he was quietly whispering to himself, staring down at the ground.
"Hey," Will suddenly disrupted him from his chant, approaching gingerly.
Nicky looked up at the older boy now standing in front of him. The embarrassed boy was flushed bright red and looked even more nervous than he usually did when so scantily-clad.
"You okay?" Will asked, visibly concerned. They had broken up, months ago now, but he still knew the boy intimately well.
"Yeah, I'm... I'm fine" Nicky lied.
"You're clearly not!" Will insisted. His face dropped a little. "It's me, isn't it. We should... go back to separate nights here, shouldn't we?"
"No!" Nicky insisted. "No, it's not that! It's..." Nicky sighed, shaking his head. "Please don't laugh..."
"I promise!" Will said solemnly. "If my word still has any meaning, anyway," he added sheepishly.
Nicky looked round. Ewan and Rich, the two other Year 7 boys were stood talking to Mr Francis while the other Year 10 boys were casually trying and failing some complicated moves on the springboard. Seeing the coast was clear, he leaned back a little and pulled his arms clear of his lap, the obvious bulge of his erection impossible not to notice.
"Fuck!" Will gulped. It had been months since he had seen his ex-lover's impressive tool and confined within the stretchy material it somehow looked even bigger than he remembered.
Nicky quickly covered back up, feeling like he was blushing more but already the brightest shade of red it was possible for a person to turn.
"That's a big problem," Will said with a slight smirk, unable to resist.
"Not funny!" Nicky hissed.
"I know, I'm about to have the same problem!" Will said, his eyes flicking downwards for a moment.
If just seeing his face, his sexy smooth chest and his strong arms had been enough to put Nicky in his troubling situation, he didn't want to imagine what seeing the older boy's dick might do to him. As he glanced at the eye-level bulge, two things became obvious. Firstly, Will was right, he was indeed showing signs of arousal, and secondly... his cock was uncaged!
"You're unlocked!" Nicky said in amazement, relaxing a little as he stared at the bulge. When he realised he had uncovered a little, he quickly hunched back into place to conceal himself.
Will nodded. "Yeah, things with Jonathan are... over!"
"What, like... OVER over?" Nicky asked in surprise.
Will nodded again.
"Because of me?" Nicky asked, unsure whether he should feel guilty or not.
"Yes!" Will said, then frowned and added, "No. Well..." he sighed, thinking about it. "Not NOT because of you but not BECAUSE of you!"
"Thanks, that makes it much clearer!" Nicky said wryly.
Will sniggered for a moment until a sadness returned to his eyes. "I... miss your sarcasm!"
"Is that all you miss?" Nicky asked with a mischievous grin, slightly revealing his bulge again.
Will didn't smile at the tease. Instead he shook his head and said, "No, I miss YOU too, just... being around you!" Before Nicky even had a chance to react, he shook his head and said, "Ugh, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make any of this harder for you!"
"It's hard enough already," Nicky said with a grin, annoyed at using his own embarrassment but unable to resist the comment.
Will chuckled. "You know what I mean! I was gonna come in here and just be casual and okay with everything and within two minutes, here I am telling you I miss you and staring at your cock!"
"Can we stop talking about... you-know-what?" Nicky requested, glancing round again for hear of being overheard.
"Okay, sorry, yeah, sorry, erm... yeah," Will mumbled, not sure what else to say.
"Everyone, huddle up!" Mr Francis called out, preparing to begin the session.
"Hnnnh!" Nicky whimpered, his cock remaining annoyingly firm as he looked at Will in dismay.
"Just... stay behind me, maybe. Try and keep me between everyone else and your... you-know-what!" Will suggested.
Nicky stood, keeping his hands in front of his crotch, which probably drew even more attention than the erection itself, but he followed Will over to the others who were gathering around the teacher.
As usual, their warm-up started with a round of stretches. Between a careful routine of hiding behind Will and ensuring his body was turned away from the rest of the group, Nicky managed to conceal his erection until it finally, mercifully, began to go down. By the end of the warmup, Nicky was back to his usual `looks like an erection but everyone knows it isn't' level of bigness, much to his relief. Although he didn't say anything, he gave Will a thankful smile for his assistance in avoiding the potential embarrassment.
Once the evening's training was over, the boys happily retreated to the locker room, mingling on the way with the Year 10 and 11 swimming club who had just finished in the other pool. By chance, Nicky and Will had used lockers on the same row and exchanged awkward smiles as they reached them.
"So... are you okay?" Nicky asked as Will opened up his locker. "I mean, with you and Jonathan!"
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine!" Will said, though there was a definite hint of sadness in his expression as he answered his ex-boyfriend. "I mean, he leaves in, like, nine weeks anyway. I guess this was just... making the choice before it was made for me, I s'pose!"
"I guess so," Nicky said, nodding gently. As Will pulled down his speedo, Nicky's eyes widened. He hadn't seen Will unlocked very often but when he had, it had always been soft, shrivelled and smooth. Now it hung free, either enlarged by it's prolonged release from chastity or perhaps still suffering lingering effects of his earlier near-arousal. It was also crowned with a small bush of dark hair that, now that he really thought about it, had probably just always been shaved as part of the `undeveloped' charade.
"I'm taking that as a compliment," Will said, gesturing to the visible swelling in Nicky's speedo.
Blushing heavily as he realised he was both staring and getting turned on, Nicky promptly wrapped his towel around himself at chest height, concealing most of his body as well as the tightening speedo. "Sorry, I just... it's been a bit... out of control lately!"
"Not getting any?" Will asked with a smirk, but immediately looked guilty and said, "Sorry, none of my business!"
"Oh I'm getting plenty," Nicky said confidently. "Just... not..." he leaned in close and whispered, "Fucking!" As Will looked back at him questioningly he explained, "I've been playing with a few guys from my dorm, but... none of them are into... that... yet and I love what we do but..."
"But you got used to pounding me a dozen times a week," Will said with a grin.
Nicky blushed and nodded.
Will stared for a moment, then turned away and glanced back down at his own butt and back to Nicky before winking and heading off towards the showers. Nicky almost tripped over his own feet running after him.
It was time for lights-out yet only seven beds were occupied in the dorm. Josh remained conspicuously absent, which might have been cause for alarm except Danny had advised everyone he was in a meeting with Mr Trent. That also explained why the First Floor Master was also not there to say good night as usual. They had heard Mr Beecham down the hall, covering Mr Trent's duties, getting the other dorms down for the night, but with that done he seemingly headed out, skipping over dorm 1.01 entirely.
The boys were chatting quietly, curious as to what was happening when Josh and Mr Trent returned. "Can I have a word with you all please," the teacher said, closing the door behind him as Josh remained at his side.
All seven of the boys shifted round to lay with their heads at the bottom of their bunks, some hanging off the end as they looked down at the man.
"Okay, so today a decision was reached about something very important for Josh. It was formalised earlier today and we've just been discussing a few of the finer details," Mr Trent explained. "Josh, do you want to explain it or would you like me to?"
Josh remained silent and gestured for Mr Trent to go on.
"So what I'm about to tell you is something Josh has chosen not to share with anyone outside of this room, so I know I can count on you all to respect his privacy and the trust he is putting in you," Mr Trent said, getting nods and quiet yesses from the boys. "I won't go into the full details of how and why, that's really for Josh to share if and when he feels ready, but as of today, Josh's mother no longer has parental responsibility for him and instead he has been made a ward of this institution. While he does have a legal guardian who works here, for all practical purposes, he is now what is often referred to as a son of Kingswood."
"So what does that mean?" Rob asked, already wanting to go up to hold his friend who looked a little shaky.
"It means the school is responsible for him fully from now until he turns eighteen. Any parental decisions needed will be made by his guardian in conjunction with advisers from the school. While many of you already think of Kingswood as your home, in Josh's case, that is literally true now," Mr Trent explained.
"Wait, so Josh is the one that got... hurt," Danny said, a little confused, "And he loses his family for it? How's that fair?"
"Danny, it was my idea!" Josh said quickly. "Well, not fully my idea, but I wanted this!"
The others were a little surprised by the comment, but Danny didn't question it further.
"What happens at, like, half-terms and things? Has he got to just stay here on his own?" Rob asked, looking at his friend sympathetically.
"No. He will return home with his guardian, though something to consider is that other sons of Kingswood..." Mr Trent started.
"There are others?" Danny asked.
"How many?" Chris added.
"Who are they?" Mikey asked.
Mr Trent raised his hand to silence them. "Most choose to remain confidential, and I would hope you can respect that for them as much as you are for Josh. But as I was saying, they often spend the school breaks together, but many find themselves invited to spend the breaks with their classmates instead."
"You're welcome at my place any time, dude!" Chris called out, grinning.
Josh smiled back, the first smile he had cracked since coming into the room.
Mr Trent chuckled at the offer then placed a hand on Josh's back. "This will probably be a difficult transition, but it makes me happy to know Josh has such caring friends to help him through it!"
Rob finally jumped up from his bunk and moved towards Josh. "You're already like a brother to me. That ain't changing!"
"Same here," Chris said, hopping down from his bunk to join them. "I got seven brothers and sisters, but there's always room for more!"
The others began to move in too, showing their support. "Thanks everyone," Josh said, slightly overwhelmed. "And... thanks Sir," he said, smiling to the teacher.
"You're welcome," he replied heading towards the door. "We've still got a lot to sort out, but I think we've covered a lot for today, so for now, you all need to be getting to bed." He stopped as he opened the door and said, "I doubt you'll all be going straight off to sleep, so... maybe just keep things quiet and I'll pretend I don't hear anything, okay?" He got a chorus of yesses and thank yous before leaving.
Once the boys were all back in bed with the lights out, they once again gathered at the ends of their bunks so they could talk quietly.
"Did you really choose this?" Danny asked before anyone could get in with much else.
Josh let out a gentle sigh. "Yeah," he said, nodding in the darkness. "I know it probably sounds crazy, but it felt like the best thing to do. For all of us!"
The others questioned Josh for a while, curious about what it would mean for him and how his life would look over the rest of his time at Kingswood. It became obvious pretty quickly how exhausting the day had been for Josh and they soon let him settle into bed with Rob cuddled beside him. The rest of the boys settled in for the night too.
As Danny lay there, restless and unable to sleep, he kept looking at his phone, hoping this would be another of the increasingly common nights he would get a message from Brian offering a gloryhole hook-up. Ever since their talk about it in the lake, they had resumed their covert meetings. When his phone finally vibrated and he looked at it excitedly, he was surprised to see a message from Nicky.
It was a group message, going not just to Danny, but also to Mikey and Chris. [Anyone still awake?]
[I am. You okay?] Danny replied right away.
[Me too!] Chris messaged.
[Me 3!] Mikey added.
Danny rolled onto his side and glanced over, amused to see little auras of light coming from both bunks to his said as well as the one below him.
[I hooked up with Will today...] Nicky messaged. Without tone or expression or anything beyond the six words it was hard to tell whether it was a happy proclamation or a nervous admission.
[Are you back together?] Mikey asked instantly.
[How/where/when/what did you do?] Danny asked.
[Was it good and did you take pictures?] Chris finally replied.
[LOL] Mikey added in response to Chris.
[No, we're not back together, it was at Diving practice, I fucked him in the showers after and sorry Chris, no pictures!] Nicky explained.
[You fucked him????] Mikey asked. He knew about Nicky's relationship with Will, they talked about it a few times, but the actual sexual things they had done had not been one of the topics discussed.
[That's so hot!] Chris added.
[Are you okay?] Danny asked, the only one seemingly concerned about why Nicky was telling them.
[I'm not sure. It felt nice. Deffo weird, but nice. He was really sweet about... something. Promise you won't laugh if I tell you about it?] Nicky asked back cautiously.
[Of course!] Danny insisted.
[Probably!] Chris replied.
[No but tell us anyway :D] Mikey teased.
[I was super horny and... well you can imagine how that looks in a speedo, but he helped me hide it so nobody else saw!]
[LOL love it!] Mikey replied.
[That's so hot!!!] Chris offered.
[That was nice of him.] Danny replied, then a moment later added, [Also LOL and that's hot!]
[Such support!] Nicky replied sarcastically.
[Could be worse. You could have jizzed in front of the whole class... like someone else did today...] Mikey teased.
[I was hoping nobody would remember that!] Chris complained.
[Sure. Nobody ever remembers the time a boy got thrown naked across the room then spunked everywhere!] Nicky said, sniggering quietly to himself.
[I'd apologise but I'd be lying!] Danny added, getting a LOL from both Mikey and Nicky.
[I wouldn't take the piss too much. It's only a matter of time til you end up tied naked to another tree!] Mikey added.
[Ha. Love it!] Chris replied. [Maybe I won't miss it next time!]
[It was pretty hot!] Nicky stated.
[YOU SAW ME???!?!?] Danny demanded.
[Yeah, but you were getting wanked off by a bunch of Year 9s at the time so you were a bit distracted!] Nicky answered, not even joking.
[FML!] Danny replied.
[I wonder how many guys in the school HAVEN'T wanked Danny off yet!] Mikey joked.
[You haven't! LOL!] Danny replied.
[But he'd like to!] Chris teased.
[Fuck you both!] Mikey replied angrily.
[He wants to do that too, probably!] Nicky added.
[Nah mate, that's you!] Mikey tried to tease back.
[Do you blame me? Have you SEEN Danny's butt?] Nicky asked.
[I thought it was just me that noticed that! It's so...] Chris started, trying to think of the right word.
[Perky!] Nicky offered.
[Chonky!!!!] Mikey suggested.
[Bubblicious!] Chris finally answered.
[You know I can see this, right?] Danny asked, amused but slightly turned on by being talked about.
[I've already told him that when he starts doing bum stuff, I'm front of the queue!] Nicky said, feeling a little embarrassed about sharing his desires, but quite at ease in the small group.
[No fair. Why do you get to go first?] Mikey complained.
[Wait, you actually want to top Danny?] Chris asked, still unsure of Mikey's preferences following the recent failed attempt to Dom him and the submissiveness he had seen when he was with Nicky.
[I don't know. I only just mastered wanking. Gimme a chance to figure stuff out!] Mikey insisted.
[If I've figured it out, can I join the queue? :D :D :D] Chris asked jovially.
[Wait, you actually want to top Danny?] Mikey copy and pasted Chris' own message back at him. Then teasingly added, [You can't even share a bed anymore. How's that gonna work?]
There was a momentary pause in the messages, Danny and Chris both shaken by the comment, Mikey realising he had over-stepped and Nicky waiting to see if he would need to intervene.
[It's okay, we'll just stick you in a middle. Problem solved!] Danny messaged, the sudden tension quickly melting away.
[Damn, now THAT'S hot. Can I watch?] Nicky added, relieved that the others seemed to be okay.
[Fuck that, you're joining in!] Chris insisted.
[Yeah, we did a four-way suck, it's only a matter of time until we do a four-way fuck too!] Danny sent.
[We need to change the subject!] Nicky replied, along with an emoji that made his meaning unmistakeable.
[Or... four-way fuck!] Chris joked.
[No chance. But I'm up for some fun if anyone else is!] Nicky suggested. His fuck with Will in the showers earlier had scratched the itch he was feeling for a good fuck, but if the last few months had taught him anything, it was that there were just as many enjoyable things that didn't involve sticking your dick up a guy's butt.
[Let's sneak out!] Danny suggested excitedly.
[OMG WE NEED ANOTHER NAKED WALK!!!!] Chris messaged, his own excitement apparent even without the assistance of caps lock.
[Another?] Mikey asked, curiously.
[Tell you outside, let's go!] Chris messaged.
As Nicky and Mikey glanced at each other, they had to suppress a laugh as they saw Chris' boxers fall to the ground between their bunks.
[Okay, but I'm not getting naked!] Nicky replied, then locked his phone and quietly got out of bed. As he stood near the door, Mikey came to join him, seemingly happy to remain wearing just his boxers, while Chris and Danny both approached fully naked.
Silently, the four boys crept out of the room, pausing to listen for movement outside, their hands already groping at each other and causing muted giggles. With nobody seemingly around, they scurried out and followed Chris down the stairs and to the front door.
"Wait, so you mean a proper outdoors walk," Nicky asked as they got the exit, "With you two naked?"
"Three!" Mikey corrected, sniggering.
As the others looked back at him, they saw he was now naked too, then giggled together as he pointed back to his underwear hanging on the handrail at the bottom of the stairs.
"You guys are fucking mental!" Nicky whispered as they headed out.
Danny was already sporting an erection, aroused as always by his own humiliation and the risk of getting caught. Chris was also hard, turned on by the sight of his naked friend. Mikey's cock remained small and flaccid, excited to be caught up in the adventure with the others but not getting the same thrill that the others got. Nicky, whose libido had been raging all day had a more-sizeable-than-usual bulge in his shorts but was yet to firm fully.
"Where are we going?" Mikey asked as they got outside. "I'd like to get at least a bit of sleep tonight!" He hoped the others wouldn't catch on to the real reason for his comment. The sudden shock of the cool night air against his body made him suddenly feel every bit as exposed as he actually was. Sure, he had done some stuff in public, like letting Nicky finger him on the basketball court a few weeks back, but actually being fully naked on school grounds with no clothes nearby felt significantly scarier.
Danny picked up on Mikey's reluctance but didn't say anything, not wanting to embarrass him or set off one of his (increasingly rare) bad moods. Grinning, he said, "Hey, you ever done something fun somewhere and then every time you see that place it reminds you of how you felt?" As the others pondered his question, he felt his eyes drift up towards the roof of the building but willed himself to stop dwelling on the unpleasant experience.
"Yeah, why?" Nicky asked, thinking of the times he had walked through the shower rooms at the Sports Complex and noted which ones he had fucked Will in. For reference, it was a lot of them!!
"Grab a seat!" Danny said with a grin, sitting down on the steps leading up to the main entrance.
"Fuck!" Chris muttered as he caught on. Being reminded of a fun sexual adventure every time he entered or exited the Home Building felt like a recipe for more embarrassing erections than he could imagine. It would have been enough to put most boys off, but Chris was definitely not `most boys' when it came to that sort of thing.
Mikey took a seat beside Danny while Chris sat the other side of him, Nicky taking a seat next to Chris.
"Hey Mikey, you wanna join the list of guys at the school who've wanked me off?" Danny asked with a chuckle.
Mikey's hand was on Danny's cock in moments, stroking it eagerly. Danny returned the favour, taking hold of Mikey too. Mikey tensed a little at the feeling of another boy's hand but took a deep breath and relaxed into the eager but tender hand-job.
Seeing the other two going at it, Nicky pulled his cock out of his shorts to allow Chris to take hold, then grabbed Chris' boner.
Despite the apparent safety of what they were doing, knowing that basically the whole building was asleep, they felt a shared sense of urgency and stroked each other quickly. As Danny sat with his right hand stroking Mikey's dick, his left hand was rested on the stone step to his side. As he felt a slight warmness against it, he looked down to see Chris' hand pressed against the side of it. He let out a gentle sigh then looked up to see Chris staring back at him.
"I miss you," Chris whispered, so quietly that Danny almost missed it.
Danny let out a gentle sigh then leaned to the side, resting his head on Chris's shoulder. He immediately felt the other boy's head resting against his own.
The stroking continued, the pace slowing a little. While they still felt the urgency that came from fear of getting caught, the shared intimacy and pleasure was a feeling they all wanted to prolong. The moon, only a few nights waned from full, bathed them all in a gentle glow while the light breeze caressed their exposed skin.
Chris looked forward, down the remainder of the steps and imagined how his load was going to look, the wet splashes showing dark on the dry stone. He wondered if it might even leave a hint of a stain. Would he come back in every day and see his own load, and the others, immortalised on the ground (at least until it had rained a few times!) Suddenly he called out, "Whoever cums the shortest distance doesn't cum again til next weekend!"
"What!" Nicky exclaimed in shock.
"That's hot. Deal!" Danny said eagerly.
"Unnh, fine," Mikey grumbled, mostly lost in the first mutual masturbation he had shared with his friend.
Nicky sighed. He knew he could disagree, but the others were in, so he just nodded and said, "Fine!"
"He's hoping it's himself," Danny chuckled. "He misses No Nut November!"
The comment triggered a flood of horny memories in Chris and with a grunt he began to shoot. Nicky considered sabotaging him, pointing his cock down at a low angle to reduce his distance but he prided himself on always playing fair and instead stroked Chris eagerly as he made him shoot as far as possible.
Chris stared down with delight at the distance he achieved then re-focused himself on making Nicky cum.
"I'm gonna cum," Mikey mumbled sweetly.
Danny couldn't help smiling. He had heard Mikey angry, happy, excitable, annoyed but this was the first time he had heard him in the midst of such pleasure. He sounded so innocent and sweet as he whimpered his way through the orgasm, shooting a fairly good distance before Danny stopped stroking him.
Danny and Nicky only took a few more moments before they too were splooging the steps with the spunky spasms. They had barely finished, a few dribbles of jizz still oozing out, when Chris and Mikey both scurried down the to the bottom, careful not to step in any cum on the way.
"Here's mine!" Chris said, pointing to the glob of cum he had managed to shoot the furthest.
"Mine's here!" Mikey said, pointing to his own, barely a few centimetres further then Chris. "Yes, not me!" he said, happy to be safe from the gambled abstinence. "Here's Danny!" he added, pointing to where he had made Danny shoot. It was on the step above Chris'. "He's losing at the moment!"
"Not for long, here's Nicky!" Chris said, finding the wet patch from Nicky's load. He grinned at the only non-naked one among them and said, "Considering you've got like a ten-centimetre head start on most of us, I thought you'd go further!"
"Fuck. No way," Nicky complained, quickly hurrying down. "Wait, what's that?" he said, pointing to another mark.
"That's gum, not cum!" Chris chuckled. "Sorry mate, you lose! Don't worry, only..." he paused counting up quickly, "Like, eleven days until you can cum again!"
"You're not really gonna hold me to that, are you?" Nicky grumbled. "I figured that was just, like, wank talk!"
"Oh we're holding you to it!" Mikey insisted.
"And if you cheat, believe me when I say Chris and I know plenty of embarrassing ways to make you pay!" Danny sniggered.
Nicky sighed. It was going to be a long, hard... eleven days!
Suddenly gripped by fear of their naked situation, the terror no longer held at bay by horniness, they scurried back into the building, retrieving Mikey's underwear as they passed. Once they got back to the dorm, thankfully avoiding detection by any teachers or other students, all four boys quickly retreated to their own bunks. Chris was just drifting off to sleep when he felt something that he hadn't experienced for quite some time – the movement from Danny climbing over into his bunk.
"I miss you too!" Danny whispered as he cuddled up to his friend for the first time in months. "So don't fuck up again, okay!"
"I won't, I promise!" Chris said back, almost in tears with joy.
