Benny Takes Control
by Matt

Chapter 9


Josh stared blankly at the monitor, struggling to comprehend what was
happening. A few seconds earlier he had been at his brother's command. Now
suddenly Benny was involved too. That meant Nick knew about him and Benny,
about him and this kid. How had he reacted when he found out?

"What's going on?" he asked wearily, suddenly feeling very exposed as he
lay there naked with his hands tied above his head.

Nick looked at Benny on screen and they both laughed. The plotting had been
worth it if only to see Josh's reaction in that moment.

"So all of this, it wasn't you..." he said, looking at Nick, then looked
over to Benny, "You set it up?"

"Well it's half and half." Nick started.

"I suggested getting you restrained like this so we could both have some
fun with you." Benny continued.

"But the stuff in our messages, that was all me." Nick said, walking back
to his naked brother and running a hand from his ankle, all the way up his
body to his face. Josh moaned at the touch.

"So you like to be punished then?" Benny asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah, he does." Nick answered for him. "You shoulda seen how hard he got
earlier when I suggested he needed to be punished by his little brother,
isn't that right, bro?" The younger brother reached out and gave Josh's
balls a quick squeeze.

"Yes." Josh replied weakly, flinching at the pain. Once again he cursed his
own body for its reaction to the situation as his cock twitched and a drop
of pre-cum oozed out.

"Go for the nipples!" Benny ordered.

The accomplice followed his instructions, reaching up to Josh's stiffening
nipples. Grabbing both at the same time, Nick pinched them hard, twisting a
little. Josh grunted in pained delight, his cock straining at the arousal.

"I think he needs a spanking." Benny said. From the way his arm was moving,
it was clear that the boy was masturbating as he watched the two brothers.

Nick looked round, somewhat disappointed. "I don't think we can do that."
he explained. "It would be quite noisy, especially if Josh yells. We might
wake people up."

"Never mind." Benny said, his arm slowing down. "That can wait until next
week."

Nick looked from Benny, to his brother and back to the screen. "What's
happening next week?"

Benny smiled as the thought about it. "He hasn't told you? My parents are
going away. He's going to be looking after me for a whole week."

Nick's eyes widened at the news, his mind filling with ideas. "Oh, I've
just thought of a few suggestions to occupy your time. We so need to
discuss this."

"Yeah we do." Benny replied, excited at the thought of verbalising all the
naughty thoughts he was having.

Josh just watched on, listening, still struggling to comprehend his two
tormentors working together. He knew that their treatment of him would
become more extreme as the boys plotted in unison, a knot in his stomach
growing at the thought of what he was going to have to endure. Yet he found
his cock still twitched as he considered the possibilities.

"What shall we do about him now then?" Nick asked, talking about Josh like
he wasn't even in the room.

"Yeah, he really looks like he needs to cum." Benny said.

"Is that right, boy?" Nick asked, looking round at him.

Being referred to as 'boy' by his younger brother should have infuriated
him. Instead it only served to turn him on more. Without thinking, he
automatically replied, "Yes Sir!" Nick smiled at his comment while Benny
laughed out loud.

"He's probably been hard all night just thinking about this." Nick said to
Benny, but making sure Josh could hear clearly. "Boy?"

"Yes Sir. All night" Josh replied again. This was torture. Having the boys
talking about him like this, treating him with such disregard, why was it
having such a physical effect?

"If he was a good boy, maybe you'd be able to... lend him a hand." Benny
said suggestively, watching Josh squirm on the bed.

"But he's not a good boy. He needs his punishment." Nick continued. Josh
was bucking his hips in the air at the mention of punishment, as if trying
to fuck something that wasn't there.

"And what's the best punishment for a boy who really wants to cum?" Benny
asked.

"No." Josh whispered weakly, realising where this was heading.

"Not cumming, of course." Nick commented.

"Please, Nick, Benny, please. Please Sir. Sirs." Josh asked. He was
blushing bright red, barely daring to look at the two boys as he
desperately pleaded with them. He couldn't understand why he needed it so
badly. Was it the restraints, the conversation or the thought of not being
allowed to cum? Of course it could have just been natural. Being home so
much, and constantly horny, Josh had got into the habit of masturbating
several times a day. Despite the abundance of arousing events that day,
Josh had so far only cum once, when Warren had given him the handjob in the
park.

But no, this was something more. He continued to plead. "Come on, I really
need to cum. Make me cum. I'll do anything." He immediately regretted
saying that, expecting some kind of response from his masters.

"We know you will." Nick said happily.

"Yeah, you'll already do anything we tell you." Benny pointed out.

"Then untie me." Josh requested. "I'll do it myself."

"Go on then." Benny replied, prompting Nick to look round at him,
confused. He didn't openly question Benny, knowing that as much as they
were partners, Benny was still in charge. The boy saw his confusion and
just nodded with a wink.

Trusting Benny's judgement, Nick walked over and untied his brother's
hands. It was difficult as his struggling had tightened the knots, but the
hands eventually fell free, immediately moving down to the desperate young
man's crotch.

Not caring that he was wanking in front of his brother and another boy,
Josh pumped his hand up and down the shaft furiously, the orgasm already
teasingly close. "Yes, fuck, yes." Josh began to gasp as he felt it about
to begin.

"Stop!" Benny called out.

Josh couldn't believe how quickly he stopped at the boy's command. His hand
was still on the shaft, the orgasm still a mere few strokes away. Nick
laughed at the Josh's distressed expression.

"I've changed my mind. You're not allowed to finish yourself off." Benny
said, his comment made worse by the fact that he was clearly playing with
himself as he said it. "Josh, you can go now. Nick and I need to talk."
Benny said dismissively.

Josh stood up, not quite sure what was happening. "Y... yes Sir." he said
in response.

"But no cumming." Benny ordered. "None at all, not until you have my
permission."

Josh was just leaving when Nick grabbed his arm. "Wait a sec."

"What's up?" Benny asked.

"Just because he can't cum, that doesn't mean I can't." He pulled Josh's
arm so that he knelt down on the ground. Once his brother was in position,
Nick pulled his shorts and underwear down to his ankles and pulled his
shirt off over his head.

"Wow, you think you've got another load in you?" Benny asked, shocked and
impressed at the teen's stamina after their session earlier in the
day. Nick just smiled knowingly back at him.

Josh was intrigued. What had the two boys been up to? Before he had much
time to really think about it, Nick had grabbed his head and pushed his
cock into the older teen's mouth. He wasn't hard to begin with, but it only
took a few seconds to grow to full length. As he sucked the boy's hardening
dick, he played with his own too. That was until Nick reached down and
slapped his hand away.

"None of that." he insisted, refusing his big brother any
self-gratification. He looked round and saw Benny watching them. The
thought of the young boy observing the blow job turned Nick on even
more. He swung round slightly in his chair to give Benny a better view,
Josh shuffling along the floor to follow.

Nick soon felt his balls beginning to tighten as he got closer to shooting
in Josh's mouth. He grabbed the back of Josh's head, hair caught between
clenched fingers. Holding the boy's head in place he began bucking his
hips, fucking his brother's mouth. He was pushing it deeper and deeper,
Josh gagging a little at first, but soon getting used to it.

He continued thrusting as he shot his load, his balls smacking hard against
Josh's chin. Several squirts dripped down Josh's throat as he finished his
brother off. Nick let go of Josh's head and sat back into his seat. The
older boy just knelt there, dazed.

"Have fun?" Benny asked, smirking.

Nick panted as he looked round at the boy on screen. "Fuck yeah, he can
really suck."

Josh tried not to smile at the comment, but the glowing approval of his
little brother filled him with happiness.

"Hmm." Benny said, stroking his chin in a comedic attempt to look like he
was thinking. "Maybe I should put those skills to the test too."

"Good idea." Nick smiled at the boy then looked down at Josh sinisterly.

"What?" Josh asked nervously as he saw the look on the two boys' faces.

"I want you to run round here to my house. I don't want to risk waking my
parents, so come round to the back garden, I'll be waiting there." Benny
ordered.

"Okay." Josh said. He didn't really want to go out this late, but the
thought of giving his master a blow job certainly made it worth the
effort. He looked round at the floor behind him and grabbed his underwear.

"What are you doing?" Nick asked.

"Getting dressed so I can... oh." he said, realising eventually what the
two boys had planned.

"I never said to get dressed." Benny said sternly. "You'll come as you are,
no complaints."

"Can't I just..." he started, but Nick cut him off.

"That sounds like a complaint to me." the younger brother said.

"And I just said no complaints. You failed to follow my order, so you will
be punished." Benny said angrily.

Nick looked round at the on-screen master and asked, "What shall we do?"

Benny smiled as it came to him. "Grab your tie again. Tie his hands behind
his back."

"What? No." Josh exclaimed in protest.

"Is that another complaint?" Benny snapped.

"No Sir." Josh said quickly, not wanting to make things worse. Nick went
and picked up the school tie he had used earlier to restrain Josh. He
pulled the bigger boys hands behind him and started tying the wrists
together, ensuring that there was no way he could pull free.

"Okay, so unless there are any other complaints, you need to come round."
Benny said, staring excitedly at his slave, kneeling naked on the floor,
arms restrained.

Josh kept looking back and forth between his two tormentors, hoping one of
them would indicate that they weren't really going to make him do
this. Obviously no indication was forthcoming. Being careful not to fall
over, Josh climbed onto his feet. He looked at the door , then turned to
Nick. "You're gonna have to let me out of the house." he said, embarrassed
at making the request.

"See you soon." Benny said as he saw Nick leading Josh out.

Josh probably felt more scared just walking down the stairs naked than he
had when he was out on the street, knowing that if his brother or parents
left their room now, there would be nowhere to hide. Thankfully they made
it to the front door with no other signs of life from upstairs. Nick opened
the door and a waft of cool evening air engulfed Josh's entire body. It
wasn't a cold night, but it definitely felt slightly more chilled than
inside the house. Cautiously he stepped out of the door, feeling the cold
paving slabs beneath his bare feet.

He turned just before Nick closed the door and asked, "Wait, how do I get
back in? I don't have a key."

"Don't worry, I'll stay down here and let you back in." Nick said, then
gave Josh a quick slap on his bare arse and closed the door.

Panic gripped Josh. He felt more naked than he had on Thursday night. For
some reason, feeling the cold ground underfoot just enhanced how exposed he
felt. On top of that, his hands were tied behind his back so he had no way
of covering the seemingly-permanent erection he had. He thought that the
fear and cool air might have been enough to make the throbbing boner wilt a
little, but alas no, it continued pointing up and away from him.

He started walking slowly down the driveway, but sped up a little as he
remembered Corey's bedroom also overlooked the front of the house. The last
thing he needed was another boy filming him for blackmail purposes, despite
the fact that the thought of it made him tingle with excitement.

He reached the end of the driveway and nervously peered out into the
street. A car was approaching so he stepped back to wait for it to pass. He
looked out again once it was gone and saw nobody else either walking or
driving his way. He ran. As fast as he could, which was substantially less
than normal as his bare feet and restrained hands made him very nervous of
tripping. Houses blurred by and as he got closer and closer to the corner
that lead onto Benny's road. He was about three houses from the corner when
he suddenly heard voices.

He stopped, listening for where they were coming from. It was ahead of
him. As quickly as he could, he ducked into the nearest driveway and lay
down on the ground behind the low wall that edged the street. He hoped he
had been just in time as the source of the voices, two young women, rounded
the corner and headed his way. If they had seen him, or even if they just
walked closely enough to the wall, he would be easy to spot as he lay there
naked, face down. The grass underneath his body and pressing against his
cock was a completely new sensation for the young man.

The two women got closer, walking slowly as they talked. Closer, closer,
until they were right next to Josh, mere feet away from the naked boy. He
held his breath.

The talking continued and the voices started moving away from him. He took
a deep breath, struggling to his feet once again. Another quick check and
he was on his way, soon rounding the corner. The end of Benny's driveway
was in sight, but suddenly seemed like a lot further down the road than it
usually was. The running continued. He finally ducked into the correct
driveway just as a car sped past.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he quietly walked up the driveway and onto the
path leading to the back of the house. As promised, he found Benny waiting
there for him. Josh's heart pounded as he saw the boy. It had only been
yesterday afternoon, after coming home from the pool, that Josh had last
seen Benny, but it felt a lot longer. He walked up to the boy and, before
he could say anything, leant down and kissed him.

Benny's hands grabbed at Josh's body as they kissed, causing both boys to
murmur delighted moans into each other's mouths. Benny pulled away, ending
the kiss as Josh stood up straight. "Anyone'd think you were glad to see
me." he said, squeezing Josh's stiff prick.

"I really am." Josh said completely honestly, not even fazed by the young
hand wrapped around his shaft. "I believe you ordered a blow job." he
smiled.

"I did." Benny said excitedly. "But not here." He started walking further
up the garden, using Josh's cock to lead him. He stopped right at the back
of the garden, in a small round patch of grass furthest from the
house. There were no lights shining directly onto that area, so anyone
looking from the house would see only darkness, but the moonlight was
sufficient for the boys to see each other.

"Can you untie me?" Josh asked in a whisper.

"I suppose so." Benny said, moving behind Josh to release his hands. As
soon as he was free, he turned to face Benny and kissed him again, this
time wrapping his arms around the boy, who did the same.

As they kissed, Josh pushed the boy's shorts down and lifted his t-shirt,
parting the kiss to allow him to pull it free. He knelt down and removed
Benny's trainers and socks too, leaving him stood in just his boxers. Josh
couldn't make out a great amount of detail, but the moonlight shone down
one side of the boy, accentuating his slim, toned figure, the narrow waist
and chest, the skin glowing white and flawless. The pale light of the moon
was also just enough to show the bulge in the boy's black boxers.

The older boy stroked Benny's chest, enjoying the gentle cooing noises the
boy made when his fingers grazed the nipples, stiff from the cool air. His
hands slid down the smooth firm stomach until they reached his underwear,
pulling it down. Benny stepped out of one side and used his foot to move
kick them over to his other discarded garments.

"I've never been naked outside before." Benny whispered nervously.

"I have!" Josh quickly replied, sounding rather annoyed, but it soon
passed. "How does it feel?"

Benny's hands were rubbing over his own body, revelling in his nudity as he
replied."Scary, but I feel safe doing it here with you. Nobody except you
is going to see me."

'Nobody except you.' Josh considered Benny's words. This was just them,
just him and Benny. No Nick, no Warren, just a boy and his master. He
dropped to his knees slowly, his lips kissing their way down the younger
boy's body until he felt Benny's stiffness under his chin. Moving past it,
he licked Benny's balls a few times then slid his tongue up the slim shaft
to engulf his expectant prick.

"Ah, God, yeah." Benny moaned. This was different from the cave
yesterday. Then it had been rushed, both boys scared of who could have seen
them at any moment. This time though, Josh's movements were more careful,
more delicate, savouring the taste of the boy's cock while working him
gently towards climax. The younger boy could feel himself getting close, so
he pulled his cock from Josh's mouth and tugged at the older boy's arms
indicating he wanted him to stand.

Benny placed his hands on Josh's chest, each one mostly covering one side,
with gap in between them. The warmth of the boys hands on his slightly
chilled skin felt awesome, particularly the stiff peaks of his
nipples. Benny leant forward and placed a kiss on the centre of Josh's
chest, then kissed a straight line down, his hands following alongside,
down the smooth patch of skin between hairy chest and navel, mimicking
Josh's treatment of him moments earlier. He continued to copy the older
boy, licking the balls before swallowing the cock.

As his master sucked him, Josh could finally feel his release getting
closer. In a way it was all he wanted, but in another way it terrified
him. He thought back to Thursday night, when he had been ordered to jerk
off in the street. It had been scary, but insanely exciting standing there
exposed for the world to see. As soon as he had cum though, it was like a
switch flipped in his head and common sense returned. In seconds he went
from thinking, 'Holy crap this is amazing' to 'shit, I'm naked, hide!' He
considered what it would be like if he had that reaction now, the fear
gripping him as he faced the naked run home. Both other times he had made
the run, he had been turned on enough to make it fun.

So distracted by his thoughts, he barely noticed he was getting close to
cumming until it was almost too late. "I'm gonna cum." he gasped,
immediately prompting Benny to stop.

"No, you're really not!" Benny said, smiling as he stood to face Josh, eyes
glinting in the moonlight. "Now finish what you started."

Josh grabbed the boy, swung him round and lowered him gently to the
ground. Josh lay above him, positioned like he was about to do push-ups. He
gradually lowered himself down to kiss the boy once again before shuffling
down to finish the blow job. As he resumed, Benny groaned and writhed
beneath him. His hands were out to the side, gripping at handfuls of grass
as his fists clenched. Benny suddenly reached up and grasped a handful of
Josh's hair, pushing his head right down so his nose pressed into the boy's
stomach as he shot into his slave's mouth, holding Josh there until his
cock finished twitching.

When he finally let go, Josh lay down at the side of him, once again
enjoying the feeling of grass on his body. Both boys lay staring up at the
night sky. It was completely clear, the sky filled with tiny dots of light
around an almost full moon. Benny looked round at Josh and thought for a
moment how lucky he was, and how completely content he felt right then. He
grabbed Josh's wrist, lifting the arm up above him, rolled onto his side to
put his head on Josh's chest, pulled the arm around him, then draped his
own arm across Josh's stomach.

Josh smiled as he felt the top of Benny's head nuzzle against his chin. He
gently stroked the boy's back with the arm he had pulled around him. The
older boy couldn't help smiling at the way Benny had cuddled up to him, it
just made him so happy. He tilted his head slightly to the side and kissed
the top of Benny's head.

They lay there for a few minutes, Josh not even caring how badly he needed
to cum, until the older boy finally moved. "Nick's waiting to let me back
in. I don't wanna leave him too long in case he falls asleep and I get
locked out." Josh explained.

Benny suddenly wished he had given different orders, something that would
have allowed Josh to stay longer, but he didn't want to let it show. He
just jumped up and grabbed the tie from the ground a short distance away.

"Oh come on, do you really have to?" Josh pleaded.

"That sounded like another complaint." Benny replied, grinning deviously.

Josh sighed and turned away from Benny, placing his hands behind him. He
felt the boy tie the hands securely, but as he finished, Benny could feel
part of the tie was still hanging down, gently caressing his butt cheeks as
he stood there. His master moved round in front of him, reached between his
legs and pulled the dangling half of the tie through.

"What are you doing?" Josh asked as he felt the boy handling his swollen
organ. Benny said nothing, he just proceeded to loop the tie around Josh's
cock and balls and secure it in a small knot. As if his dick wasn't already
hard enough, it now seemed to swell a little more as the makeshift cock
ring kicked in. Josh squirmed a little and soon realised the boy had pulled
tied it so tightly, that even the slightest movement of his arms tugged
painfully as his manhood.

Josh stood there, barely daring to move as Benny started getting
dressed. The younger boy looked round at him and said, "What are you
waiting for? A goodnight kiss?"

'Yes!' Josh thought, but didn't say anything. Instead he started walking,
the movement quite uncomfortable. "Will I see you tomorrow?" Josh asked
weakly without turning around.

"Probably not." he replied casually, now walking past Josh, dressed aside
from his socks and trainers which he carried. "But I'll see you Monday,
when the real fun can begin!" And with that, the boy was gone, back into
the darkened house.

'Fuck." Josh thought. 'Let's just get this over with.' He started to run
down the garden, but within just a few steps he had to stop, biting his lip
to stop himself from screaming out. Attempting to run was just too painful
as the binding pulled at his package. 'Great, a nice slow walk.' he thought
sarcastically.

Once again he found himself peering out into the street, annoyed about how
many times he had now endured this humiliation. This one felt worse
though. His cock was absurdly swollen, bright red and feeling like it was
about to burst and on top of that, he had to take it so slowly too.

After two cars had passed, he started walking. As he saw another car
approach and ducked behind a tree waiting for it to drive by. It passed and
he walked on. Thankfully he met no pedestrians this time, but more cars
passed him, each time forcing him to hide behind something, dragging the
walk out for even longer.

When he eventually made it home, he made his way to the door and gently
bumped it a couple of times with his shoulder. As promised, Nick let him
in, the younger brother staring in shock as he saw the state of Josh's
cock. Not only was it swollen now, it was oozing a steady stream of
pre-cum. He reached down and gave the head a quick rub. Josh nearly doubled
over from the sensitivity of it.

"Please. Untie me." Josh begged.

"Up in your room." Nick directed him and the two headed back upstairs.

Once they were safely inside, Josh pleaded again. "Untie me, please Nick."

"I will... in a minute." he said teasingly, reaching up to tweak one of
Josh's nipples playfully. The older boy gasped. Nick knelt down and undid
the tie from around his cock, but left the hands tied behind his back. Josh
sighed with relief, but only for a second, gasping again as Nick took hold
of his cock and stroked it.

They both knew it wouldn't take long, so Nick went as slowly as he
could. Josh looked confused as he saw Nick looking round the room. Even
more confusing was when the boy stopped the stroking to go and pick up an
empty glass that was sat on Josh's desk, then returned. He soon sped his
hand up, listening happily as his brother's gasps grew more and more
pleasured.

"Ffffuck." Josh called out as he started to ejaculate. Just as he did, Nick
raised the glass to the tip of Josh's spasming prick, collecting every
single shot of the boy's huge load. Josh was getting used to these intense
orgasms. It seemed like his activities with Benny and Nick were making him
cum more and harder than he ever thought possible. No sooner had he
finished shooting, Josh found himself being pushed back onto the bed,
landing on his arms uncomfortably. Nick climbed on top, sitting on his
older brother's chest. Had he not been restrained, Josh would have been
able to throw him off easily, but laying on his tied hands all he could do
was lay there helplessly at the younger boy's mercy.

"What are you doing?" Josh demanded.

"Well it's bed time, and everyone knows warm milk helps you sleep." Nick
taunted him, waving the glass in front of his face.

"No." Josh moaned. He had tasted his own cum before, but being fed his own
load by Nick in this way just felt completely humiliating.

"Open wide." Nick ordered. Josh stared at him, mouth remaining tightly
closed. Nick reached back with his other hand and squeezed the bigger boy's
balls. Josh yelled out, then looked at Nick, mouth reluctantly held
open. The younger brother started to tip the glass slowly, watching in
delight as Josh stared at his own cum moving closer and closer to tipping
out. The first few drops fell into the waiting mouth, a look of vicious
glee on Nick's face. The rest of the load followed, dripping stickily
between Josh's lips. He swallowed. When it was all gone, Nick climbed off,
rolled Josh over and untied his hands.

The younger boy placed the glass back on the desk, walked over to the door
and left, glancing back one last time but not saying a word. Finally able
to move, Josh stretched for a couple of minutes to regain the feeling in
his arms then lay back down, tired and aching. His phone vibrated. At this
time of night he knew it couldn't be anything good.

It was from Benny. [WHAT WAS MY LAST ORDER BEFORE YOU LEFT NICK'S ROOM
TONIGHT?]

Josh panicked, realising he may have just been set up. [NO CUMMING WITHOUT
PERMISSION]

[NO, IT WASN'T JUST WITHOUT PERMISSION, IT WAS WITHOUT PERMISSION. FROM
ME. AND WHAT DID U JUST DO?]

[IT WASN'T ME, IT WAS NICK]

[DID U CUM?]

[YES]

[DID U HAVE MY PERMISSION?]

[NO]

[THEN U'VE DISOBEYED ORDERS. THE PUNISHMENT WILL BE SEVERE]

[I'M SORRY SIR]

[I WILL C U MONDAY, TIL THEN NO CUMMING, AT ALL]

[OK, SORRY SIR]

Josh put his phone down and curled up in his bed. Just as he had the last
two nights, Josh lay there wishing Benny was with him. Tonight though, he
had other thoughts in his head. Something Warren had said stuck in his
mind, 'nineteen and thirteen, that's just not gonna work.' Josh knew the
boy was right, any application of logic or rational thought to the subject
would have made that painfully clear, but Josh's thoughts were anything but
rational. Thirteen or not, he wanted Benny, he wanted his master with him,
just like they had been earlier tonight under the stars.

*****

Benny's Mum phoned quite early the next morning to talk about Josh's week
with Benny. They had stocked up the fridge and freezer with food as well as
providing some money for occasional takeaways, provided every possible
emergency number as well as their full itinerary and left more money for
any activities he decided to do with Benny. Josh couldn't help thinking
that the activities Benny had planned were quite different from what his
Mum was thinking they might get up to, but obviously never mentioned it.

Josh figured it was a good time to also tell his parents that they wouldn't
be seeing much of him over the next week, something they certainly didn't
object to. They seemed happy enough to be rid of him for the week.

Up early again and knowing he had no orders to follow, Josh sat in his room
considering what to do with his day. Remembering the promise he made
himself yesterday, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Liam, one
of his best friends from school.

[HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?]

A few minutes later he got a reply. [FINE HERE, BUD. THOUGHT YOU'D
DISAPPEARED. ALL GOOD?]

[YEAH. WHAT YOU UP TO TODAY? BE COOL TO CATCH UP.]

[I'M MEETING RYAN AND A COUPLE OF OTHER GUYS LATER IN THE PARK. GONNA HAVE
A FEW CANS, KICK THE BALL ABOUT, NOTHING BIG. WANNA COME?]

[SOUNDS GREAT, I REALLY NEED A DRINK!]

And the plan was set. There was a shop down the road, just past the turning
to Benny's street, so Josh went out and bought some beer. He laughed to
himself as he passed the little wall he had hidden behind the night before,
imagining what he must have looked like.

A little later, he headed down to the park and made his way to the area
Liam had said they would be, soon spotting them already kicking the ball
around. They were all in great shape, dressed in shorts and various types
of sleeveless tops to soak up the Sun, as was Josh. He was a little
relieved as he saw looked at them though. Running round together and
looking as good as they did, it could have been the opening scene of some
cheesy gay porn, but Josh felt nothing. There was no attraction. He was
beginning to accept that he was bi, but the thought of looking at guys,
particularly his friends, and being attracted to them still just felt a bit
too weird.

As Liam saw Josh approaching, he cheered then kicked the ball towards
him. Josh stopped the ball, kicked it into the air, keeping it bouncing
with one foot before kicking it straight back to the others. Ryan stopped
the ball, picked it up and headed over to their small stash of booze as
Josh added his own to the pile.

His two friends greeted him with punches to his arm and fist bumps while
the other two guys with them stood nearby. "Josh, this is James and Dale."
Liam introduced them. They all said hi, doing casual handshakes or
fist-bumps as Josh looked at them.

'Why do I recognise them?' he asked himself, struggling to place them. From
the looks on their faces and the confused looks between them, James and
Dale were having the same thought.

In unison, the realisation hit all three of them. Broad smiles spread
across the two guys' faces as Josh's eyes widened in fear. 'Fuck. It's
them.' he thought. After Josh had finished wanking in the street at Benny's
command on Thursday night, he had turned round to see two guys cheering. It
was James and Dale.

Josh stared at them, hoping they could see in his eyes how desperately he
wanted them not to say anything. If the two guys had recognised the look,
they would have ignored it anyway. They burst into laughter as they
recognised the panicking young man.

"What?" Liam asked, looking at them.

"Yeah, what's so funny?" Ryan asked, feeling like he had missed something.

James and Dale were still laughing so hard they could barely talk. When
they eventually stopped, Dale looked at Josh with a smile, then round at
Liam and Ryan. "You remember the naked guy we said we saw Thursday night."

'Fuck, they'd already told people?' Josh thought.

"Yeah." Liam said, confused.

At the same time, James and Dale both pointed at Josh and started laughing
again. The other two guys' eyes widened as they realised what that
meant. They joined in the laughter as Josh stood there, blushing heavily
and inwardly cursing Benny. He tried to talk, to defend himself, but
nothing came out, the humiliation stunning him into absolute silence.

"What the fuck, dude?" Liam asked, still giggling.

Josh thought about it. There was no way to deny it, not now, but he needed
an excuse. It suddenly occurred to him. It wouldn't do anything to
alleviate his embarrassment, but at least it would explain his actions. "It
was a forfeit. I lost a bet." he lied.

As the laughter died down, he was relieved a little as Ryan seemed to
reduce the focus on him. "Tough bet dude. I had a to streak once on a bet."

"I remember that!" Liam said, now laughing at Ryan.

Josh breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that it was going to end up a
lot worse than that. The conversation quickly moved on and the five of them
started drinking and returned to kicking the football around.

The day felt normal to Josh, his earlier embarrassment aside, and it felt
great just hanging with his friends. For a brief moment, he thought today
would be clear of the kind of stuff he had endured the last few days, but
he soon realised that wasn't going to happen. He was just finishing a beer
when he heard two of the guys behind him.

He missed what James said first, but Ryan's response was quite clear. "Oh
yeah, well let's make it a bet then!"
