The Game Chapter 7: What's Real
This set of stories is not quite a fan fiction but it's close. It's based off a fantasy I concocted years ago, updated as the passage of time has required. I did have a slate of faces I imagined while writing this, and I list them at the end of the story. Use your own imagination if you don't like my choices. This story should not be taken as a true representation of the sexuality of any of the men in question.
The story depicts males in modern world fantasy sexual situations with other males. If this offends you, if you are underage, or if reading such is illegal where you are please stop reading now. Thank you.

The sun rose and spat morning into the faces of the male half of the competition.
"Good morning, guys!" some way-too-jolly PA chirped. "It's time to get up. Showers are warm, and breakfast is too, if you hurry. You'll want your regular kit today."
Warm water did wonders, but given the half-erections several of the guys were sporting maybe cold water might have been better. Washed and dried, they pulled on their shorts and muscle shirts, carefully arranging their junk in the barely adequate pouches as they hustled out the door, hopping to pull their shoes on.
Josh was in the rear, and he all but ran down the Kahuna who smiled knowingly at the haole.
"What?" Josh asked.
"I see that the spirit has done it all in one night," the Kahuna said enigmatically, and he rubbed the crotch in his board shorts as he said it.
WTF?,' Josh thought as the Kahuna walked away, How can he know?'
The dining tent was an exercise in 'I've got a bad feeling about this'. Saul sat at the far end of the tent from Josh, and Zaynab was ensconced with him.
Josh shook his head.
"Hey, Limey," Wally said, "What's your partner doing consorting with the enemy over there?"
"Hell if I know," Josh said, "But I have a sneaking suspicion that I should take this opportunity to tell you it was good to get to know you, bunk-mate."
"You're being too pessimistic," Lee chimed in, and Josh wished he could believe that.
As it turned out, on their first Suck challenge, Josh and Zaynab immediately had communication and trust issues. If he said left, she went right, and if it turned out that left was correct, then he hadn't communicated it to her properly. In spite of that, though, they still managed to come in somewhere in the middle. Not that it did them any good.
Saul and his partner won the challenge, and after next-to-no consideration, they foisted the Suck off on Josh and Zaynab.
Josh was aghast.
"What?! I thought you like Zaynab!" he accused the redhead.
"Oh, I do, but you have to go so it's too bad for her," Saul said.
"See what you've done?!" Zaynab shrieked, pointing at the dumbstruck Josh. "God, I hate you!"
"Okay, people," Thor interjected, "Let's tone this down. Now. Teams have won challenges before this even when they were handicapped with a Suck. And getting a Suck does not mean you're going to the Test."
But the next day, during the Elimination Challenge, that Suck proved to be just what it took to drop Josh and Zaynab into last place. Josh was pissed off, and he stalked off rather than be around Zaynab who was loudly blaming him for everything that had gone wrong. She wasn't winning any friends, but that didn't stop her. Both players were still snarling at one another when they, accompanied by Lee and Sarah who had come in next-to-last, headed off to the Trial that night.
The Trial took place a special set apart from the regular filming site. Lit by tiki torches, the two bottom teams faced one another across an altar in what might be taken for a native temple. Off to one side, Thor stood behind a rostrum, and behind him was the ornamented archway teams passed through on their way home.
"You all know the philosophy of the Game," Thor began, as he always did, "Body against body, brain against brain, nerve against nerve. In every conflict, though, there are two teams that end up on the bottom, and to determine which of them will leave the Game, we turn to wit and luck."
"Before you, you see tiles representing three elements: water, wood, and fire," Thor said, "Water douses fire; wood floats on water; and fire burns wood. Make your choice, as a team," and he glared at Zaynab as he said that, "And when you agree on a selection, choose the appropriate tile and place it face down on the altar. When the choices are revealed, we will know who has successfully outwitted their opponent, and who is out of the game.
Lee and Sarah quickly came to a consensus. They (secretly) chose the water and placed that tile, face down, in a depression on their side of the altar.
Josh and Zaynab, on the other hand, once again disagreed on strategy, and frustrated the Brit just gave in to his partner.
Honestly,' he thought, I'm not sure which would be worse: going home or having to endure another week with her.'
It surprised nobody when the tiles flipped and water put out the fire that Zaynab had been insisting on, and she and Josh became the first team out.
Lee and Sarah tried to do the decent thing as they left to return to camp.
"Tough luck, dude," Lee said quietly.
"Yeah, thanks," Josh told him. "Good luck. And take out Saul if you can."
Zaynab... well, she was less gracious when Sarah condoled with her. Sarah could only stare when served with an angry diatribe in response, and the production crew was appalled.
Lee shrugged at Josh.
"See you at the reunion," he said. "Hang loose."
Production set Josh and Zaynab up under the arch to do the vanishing act trick for the camera, but before the flames could rise, the Dark Man appeared and seemingly froze time. He held out his hand and led Josh to altar. There he tenderly stripped Josh of his social clothes and bent him back over the altar, right in front of Thor who was wearing as little as network censors would allow himself.
Josh's cock jutted out of his crotch, weeping precum, and the Dark Man, for the second time, took the muscle stud's length into his mouth. The Dark Man sucked as he had before, but this time he let the vocal young man cum in his mouth. It was like a slice of heaven.
"Fuck, thank you, dude," Josh moaned, and he all but passed out.
@@@@@@@@
When muscle-stud Josh recovered from his overpowering orgasm, though, instead of lying naked on the altar he found himself clothed and standing alongside the still-fuming Zaynab behind the fire which was to seemingly consume them as their exit from the show. No time had passed.
Josh shook his head to clear it; the fire flared up; and the two eliminated players left the set. As they walked away, Josh trailed behind Zaynab so that he didn't have to deal with her misplaced pique. As he walked he considered his vivid dream from the other night, and the flashback he'd just had.
Just what the fuck had Production put in the water?
@@@@@@@@@@
Back at the Trial set, however, a naked Josh stood beside the Dark Man and watched himself leave.
"What now?" the Brit asked.
"Dude," said the Surfer Dude who suddenly appeared out of nowhere on his other side, "Sun and sand and surf and sex. As much as you want."
"For how long?"
"For as long as you want it, dude. See."
The Kahuna, a much younger (and naked and erect) version of their the Kahuna, walked out of the jungle and, taking the Dark Man by the hand, led him off towards the beach. The surfer Dude looked at Josh and took his hand.
They followed the other pair, and at beach watched as the Dark Man and the Kahuna sprinted off to play in the surf.
"You weren't joking about the sun and sand and surf."
"Not about the sex either. See?"
Where the sand ended, just under the shade of the palms, a naked Sal and Jase lay languidly sixtynining for all they were worth.
Josh felt his wood suddenly rising.
"And what happens when I get tired of this Josh asked, reaching for his woody.
"Tired?" the Surfer Dude all but guffawed, "You crazy, man? Who could get tired of this? But if, by some bizarre chance you do, then this part of you will reintegrate with your other self, and it will be like none of this ever happened."
And he leaned in to kiss Josh tenderly on the lips, the blond mustache tickling the muscle stud's lips.
"Never happened?" Josh asked.
"Never happened," the Dark Man said walking up from the surf and leaning in to share the young man's lips in a triple kiss.
"Never happened," said the Kahuna who made a fourth to their little group.
"If that's really what you want," the Dark Man said.
"But look at what you have here," the Surfer Dude said.
Josh looked along the beach. Sun and sand and surf, like the Surfer Dude has said, and...
"Fuck, I'm cumming," Sal howled from under the trees.
"Now there's an idea," Josh said, grabbing hold of the surfer's hard dick.
They all laughed, and tumbled towards the shade.
@@@@@@
(The Surfer Dude had told the truth, but he left out how Josh in the real world, even before reintegration, would be haunted by dreams of that night of steamy man-sex for the rest of his life. Yeah, reality blows.)
