Chapter 2 Unexpected Friendships
Justin stepped out of the classroom and started down the hall. It had been
six months since the General had beat him and he hadn't messed up once.
Now somehow he had screwed up and he knew that he would get beat tonight.
As he dragged himself toward the office, he thought about just running out
of the school and going to the interstate overpass that ran behind the
school and jumping off in front of a truck. After all he probable would be
dead tonight after the General beat him anyway. He started to run around
the corner to go to the overpass when he ran into Mr. Phelps the security
guard.
"You're wanted in the office Blake.", he said, "It's back that way."
"Yes sir," answered Justin.
As Justin entered the office Mrs Cranberry was sitting at her desk as
usual. "Mrs Cranberry, I, I, I didddnnn't dddo anythinggg," whispered
Justin. She looked up from her desk and saw Justin standing there, eyes
downcast, shoulders stooped, and his whole body was shivering with fear.
Mrs Cranberry had been secretary at the Thomas Melville High School for
thirty-five years, and never in all those years had she seen a student more
frightened.
"Oh Justin honey your not in trouble," she said as she came around her desk
and gave Justin a big hug.
"It just your turn to be a new student guide for today. We only pick the
best behaved and brightest to do that, and besides you have never been in
trouble one time since you have been with us. Now go on into Mr. Grady's
office because he waiting for you to be the new boy's guide."
As Mrs Cranberry sat back behind her desk she thought there has to be
something wrong in Justin's life for him to be so scared at just being
called into the office. I better talk with Mark Peters the school
Psychologist to see if this needs to be looked into, she thought.
Justin, wiped his eyes and took a deep breath and then opened the door to
Mr. Grady's office.
" Justin thanks for coming so quickly. I want you to meet Ben Goshen. His
father was just transferred to the base."
Up until that point Ben had been sitting in a chair facing Mr. Grady's
desk, just then he stood up and turned around and extended his hand to
Justin. Justin and Ben looked at each other and for them the world
stopped. Their hands reached out and clasped.
Ben stood five feet five and had emerald green eyes. His hair was dark
brown with blond spikes and he had a dark olive complexion. He wore black
cargo pants with a tight sleeveless white T-shirt and a green Tommy H
button shirt over his t-shirt, unbuttoned of course. Justin took in all
this in the two seconds it took to extend his hand. As he looked into
Ben's face he thought he could die right now and be happy for all eternity.
As Ben stood up and turned around to meet this Justin who was to be his
babysitter all day today, he was thinking this guy is probable some kind of
geek I'm going to be stuck with all day. Then as he extended his hand he
looked up and saw the most beautiful boy he had ever seen. Justin was
about and inch shorter than he was but he had the brightest blue eyes he
had ever seen and even though they were a little red as if he had been just
crying there was a depth of character in them that was beyond anything he
had ever seen. Justin was wearing Jet blue cargo pants and a hot pink Old
Navy T-shirt that was set of by his golden tan. His hair was so blond that
it was almost white and was moused just in the front in the popular style
of the day.
Mr. Grady stood there watching the two boys. "Eh hem, boys you can go
now." said Mr Grady. As the door closed on the two boys Mr Grady thought,
I sure hope those two boys learn what being discrete means, because if I
ever have seen two kids fall for each other at first sight it was those
two; I know because they are both boys people will talk, but no one who
just saw what I did would deny the attraction between them was real and not
perverted. He wasn't gay himself, but he had seen so many young boys
suffer because they were born being attracted to other boys. When was the
world going to allow kids to be themselves, and not be forced to pretend
that they were straight when anyone with eyes could see that they were gay.
Not because they choose to be, it is just who they are, and love, and
mutual attraction is never wrong. In fact it is the way things should be.
These boys no more had any say about who they were attracted to than the
color of their skin.
Justin lead Ben back to his classroom neither of them quite knowing what
to say to each other and yet in both their heads there was only one
thought, and that was, I have got to get to know this hotty. As they
walked into the classroom, Justin introduced Ben to the class. As Justin
walked back to his seat, Kyle gave him the big thumbs up. As Justin saw
the sign, his face broke into a huge smile.
Justin introduced Ben to Kyle and the rest of the gang at lunch and
Kyle, Ben, and Justin spent the rest of the day together, getting to know
each other. Justin found out that Ben's dad was to be the Sargent-General
at the base in charge of all the enlisted men. They went to PE and found a
free locker right next to theirs for Ben. That day the coach had them
outside running sprints and doing calisthenics.
When he blew the whistle for showers, he told Justin and Kyle to show
Ben how and where to put away the equipment. Because all the classes had
been out side today, it took them almost fifteen minutes to put it all
away. By the time they got to the locker room everyone else had already
left. Coach Aker said, " I know I can trust you two and make sure the new
kid doesn't mess up just don't take too long because the baseball team will
be here in a half an hour to begin practice.
The three boys went to their lockers and turned away from each other as
they stripped off their gym clothes and grabbed their towels and headed for
the shower room. As they reached the shower room , Justin and Kyle hung
their towel on the pegs and stepped into the shower room a few seconds
later Ben stepped in also. Justin wanted to check out Ben in the worst way
he had seen Kyle and knew he already hair and was getting a lot bigger down
there. He turned his eyes just a little and got a brief look at Ben's
groin. Oh, my god thought Justin he was huge. Each boy washed quickly and
headed back to the locker room.
Kyle was in the lead and got to the locker area first. He was in a
playful mood this afternoon. So he just couldn't resist a little game of
snap towel. He just turned around and snapped both the other boys. Not to
be out done by Kyle, Justin and Ben grabbed their own towel off their
waists and the battle was on.
For the next few minutes the three boys raced around the locker room
snapping at each others bodies until Ben was racing around a rack of
lockers and Justin came racing around from the opposite way and the two of
them crashed into each other. They fell to the floor in fit of giggles and
just as they started to disentangle Kyle found them and attacked both with
his wet towel. Both boys tried to get away and only ended up flopping on
top of each other.
Kyle seeing the silliness of the other two fell on top both of them and
the three wrestled for a few minutes, when they suddenly pulled apart
realizing that they all had hard-ons, and were laying in a naked tangle.
"Ah, the damn thing did it again," laughed Kyle.
All three of them did a quick check of the others, Ben was real glad
that Justin and Kyle hadn't made any comments about the size of his dick.
He knew how weird it looked to have a 7" long dick that was5" inches around
, on a 5'5" very slender body. He noticed that Kyle's was a normal 5
incher with just the right amount of hair for a fourteen year-old, unlike
his forest in his groin. But, what struck him the most was Justin's little
3 and « inch hairless dick. Oh, god Ben thought it is just so beautiful
compared to my ugly huge monster, what I wouldn't give to look like Justin.
Like a boy should instead of some overgrown hair man.
The three of them sat on the floor and checked each other out for about
ten seconds. Then with another giggle they stood up and went to their
lockers and got dressed. As Justin road his bike home he thought to
himself life was getting better. He recalled the vision of Ben's huge
dick, just thinking about that for one second and his little pricklet got
hard again.
After supper he knocked on the General's den door. "Enter," answered
the General. "What do you want?"
"I was wondering Sir, if you had met the new Sargent-General at the base,
his name is Jon Goshen?"
"Why do you want to know that, and how do you know his name?"
"At school today I was called to the office it was my turn to show a new
student around. His name is Ben Goshen and he told me his father is the
new Sargent-General at the base."
"Yes, I met him this morning, and he comes highly recommended, he is
supposed to be a real hard ass like me so we should get along fine. Why
did you want to know?"
"Well, I was wondering if after I finish my chores on Saturday if I could
have Kyle and Ben over for a while to help Ben make new friends."
"As long as you don't fuck up between now and then it will be OK, but only
for a few hours."
"Thank-you Sir."
The alarm began to beep and Justin quickly shut it off. As he flipped
off the covers he noticed he had his usual morning problem, oh well he
thought I will take care of that in the shower like I always do. After
showering he looked in his closet for something to wear today. As Justin
looked at different things, he wondered why am I being so picky this
morning. Then he let out a soft giggle as he brought up the image of Ben
sitting on the floor naked in the locker room yesterday afternoon.
Most of the boys in their grade were going thru puberty, but Ben looked
as if he had gone way beyond it, he was almost three times longer that his
3 and « inches, heck he was almost twice as big as Kyle. Justin remembered
how Ben seemed to be very self-conscious about his size. I'm glad that
Kyle and I didn't say anything about it so Ben wasn't embarrassed.
As Justin walked into the kitchen the General said, "you didn't ask your
friends to come over yet, did you?"
As Justin heard the question his heart began to beat faster and he began to
shake, "n no SCIRE," he answered, eyes cast to the floor, and shoulders
stooped.
"Good, I will speak to the Sargent-General and Captain Abbot, Kyle's
father, if they agree I will let you know, and then you may ask the boys.
I'm glad to see you are finally getting your act together. Maybe you
aren't going to turn out to be a pussy boy after all."
"Thank-you Sir," answered Justin as he grabbed his backpack and headed for
his bike and school.
Ben climbed into his fathers 53 Chevy pickup that the two of them had
restored over the last three years. Ben loved his father, he knew that at
the base, he was known as a real hard ass, but at home he was the most
gentle and loving parent any boy could ever want. Oh, yes there were lots
of rules that he had to follow, but his father was always fair with his
punishment and it had now been two years since his father had given his
last spanking. Ben still remembered what had happened that day.
He and his pal Joey had gone to the PX to by a new video game, but when
they got there they didn't have enough money, and they had been bragging to
all their friends about how they would have the new game that afternoon,
and everyone was coming to his house to play. Ben and Joey knew that it
was wrong to steal, but tomorrow they would have their allowance and then
they could bring the money to the PX and pretend to buy the game then.
Ben had on baggy cargo shorts and put the game in a pocket. Then the
two boys bought a bag of chips and two sodas and left the store. What they
hadn't known was that the game box had a signal devise on it so that the
minute they stepped out of the store the guard at the entrance knew that
they had stolen something. The guard knew who Ben was and decided to let
the Sargent-General handle it in his own way. That night when Ben's dad
got home he went into his son's room and gave him a hug and said hello to
Ben's friends. "What are you guys playing, I haven't seen this game
before," asked his dad?
Billy had opened his big mouth like he usually did, and stated "oh yea Ben
and Joey bought it at the PX this morning." "
Is that right Ben," asked his dad?
"Yea dad why do you ask," Ben asked with a little shakiness in his voice?
"Boys I need to talk to Ben why don't you guys leave and Ben will see you
tomorrow."
As the boys started to leave, Joe looked with fear at his friend.
Just then Ben's dad said, "Joey stay for a minute would you please."
"Boys would you show me the PX slip for this game you bought this morning I
want to make sure that they gave you my proper discount."
Ben and Joey looked at each other and said, "You have it, don't you?"
After searching all their pockets they stated together, "I guess we lost
it."
"Well alright see you next week than Joey" Ben's dad said.
After Joey left Ben's dad said "I got a call today from Sargent
Billings you remember he is Billy's dad, and he said that the theft
detector at the PX went off this morning showing that a video game had been
stolen. Do you know anything about that Ben?"
"No dad, I sure don't," answered Ben.
"OK buddy, if you think of anything you want to talk to me about, you know
I am always willing to listen."
"I know dad," Ben answered.
As Jon left Ben's room he said, "Love you bud."
Ben had sat in his room until supper thinking about what his dad had
said. He thought dad must know, but why didn't he just come out and say he
knew Joey and I had stolen the game.
At supper Ben was very quite and his mom asked, "is everything was
alright?"
"Nothing is wrong, mom really."
Ben went back to his room and sat on the bed staring at his TV where the
new game was playing against itself.
At 9:00 his dad came into the room and said, "so you want to show me how to
play your new game so I can whip your butt."
Ben turned to his dad tears running down his and said, "I stole the game
we didn't have enough money to get it today, and didn't want to wait until
tomorrow. D'ETAT I am sorry I know it was wrong, and I won't ever do it
again." At that moment Jon wrapped his arms around Ben and hugged him and
kissed his head.
"Ben I don't think children should be spanked after they know the
difference between right and wrong, but since you didn't admit what you had
done when I first asked you when I came home then you have to be spanked.
Jon had given Ben a good spanking and then held him until he stopped
crying. Ben had messed up a few times after that but he never lied about
and had never been spanked again.
When Ben got to the new school his dad had taken him into the office,
before he left he had given Ben a hug and said, "don't worry you will make
new friends before you know it." Ben had been called into principal
Grady's office. The principal had talked to him for a few minutes than
spoken to the school secretary. The boy who will be showing you around
today is the son of the base commander and you should get along well. He
is an excellent student and never has been in any trouble at school.
As Ben sat there waiting, he remembered what he had overheard his dad
telling his mom that the base commander was a much worse hard- ass then he
was and liked to knock out his junior officers in the boxing ring just to
show everyone that he was still the baddest man on base. Ben thought his
son must be a real asshole also. Just then the door opened and Ben stood
up and turned around and there was the cutest boy he had ever seen.
All that day Justin had made him feel like as if he had been best
friends with him for years instead of just meeting him that morning. And
then after gym class Kyle and Justin had made him so comfortable and even
when they had been wrestling together naked and had gotten hard-ons the
other two boys had been so cool about it and hadn't made any mention of how
big he was in comparison to them. In fact when Kyle said,"ah, the damn
thing did again" and the three of them had cracked up with giggles, Ben
thought that he was really going like living here, what would make it
perfect is if Justin was like him. He thought it might be possible, he
knew that Kyle was definitely straight. He wanted Kyle as a friend, but
Justin as a boyfriend.
That night when Jon got home he went into Ben's room and asked, "so how
did your first day go?"
Ben looked at his dad and as he remembered everything that had happened
that day he broke out in giggles. When Jon saw this he grabbed Ben and
began to tickle him until he begged for mercy.
"Daddy please I can't take anymore." Ben then told Jon everything that had
happened that day.
"What is so cool is even when we all pooped boners they never said a thing
about how big I am and they acted as if it made no difference. You
remember how all the guys at the old base kidded me even Joey calling me
donkey dick and stud man. These guys don't care ,and it was as if we had
been friends for ever, and you will never believe it but, Justin my guide
for the day is General Blake's son and he is so cool.
"So I take it that you are not as upset about you moving here as you were
this morning?"
"Yes, daddy I think that I might like living here even more than in New
York."
With that Jon reached down and grabbed Ben and throw him over his shoulder
and carried him out to the kitchen where he said to his wife Betty.
"I don't know what happened but when I went into our son's room to so see
how the poor sad sacks day went, do you know what I found. In Ben's room I
found this happy giggling imposter who looks like our son Ben, but this boy
must be someone else's son because the boy I left at school this morning
couldn't hardly get his lower lip off the floor. And the boy I found in
our son's room is a happy smiling giggling boy. So just who is this
stranger."
As he said this he began to tickle his son again. Ben tried to free
himself from his fathers grip and the two of them ended up on the kitchen
in a fit of giggles.
"Alright you two nuts, get outside and do man things so I can fix supper
before midnight, Betty said.
As Ben and his dad headed out the door Betty gave them both a swat on
their butts, and said "don't get all greasy before supper."
When Jon opened Ben's door the next morning and said rise and shine
bud, Ben opened his eyes and lay there thinking about how happy he felt
this morning. As he flipped off the covers and headed into the bathroom
where his dad was shaving he was aware that his CK boxer were tented out
again this morning. As he stood in front of the toilet and tried to bend
his dick so he could take a badly needed piss.
His father looked over at him and said, "got a problem son?" Then he
laughed and said, "Ben, when a guy has a big dick like you and I do it is a
lot easer to take your morning piss in the shower than trying to bend the
damn thing in half, and if you promise not to tell mom I told you to do it
that way I wont tell her either."
Ben dropped his boxers , and hugged his dad and said, " you are the
best dad in the whole world. You know that don't you?"
"OK you little rugrat what do you want now?"
"Nothing, I just want you to know how much I love you." said Ben as he
stepped into the shower and did as his father suggested.
When Ben had dried off and finished in the bathroom he headed into his
room and tried to decide what to wear that day. He found himself thinking
about Justin as he looked over his choices for that day. He had always
dressed to achieve the baggy look, but Justin and Kyle both dressed nice
and he wanted to look nice like Justin.
When Jon dropped Ben off at school he found Justin and Kyle waiting for
him. Justin and Kyle walked up to him, and said, "ready for another day in
the war zone."
The three walked into the school and went into the atrium to wait for
the home room bell. As they were standing there Jen came up and looked
over the three boys and said to Ben, "you look really hot today."
Ben's face turned red and he said, "no way."
Just then Justin piped up and said, "don't be embarrassed Ben, you do look
hot today and that's not anything to be upset about."
Ben, looked at his new friends and couldn't believe how cool they were.
"You really think I look hot," he asked as he looked into Justin's eyes all
the friends nodded in unison. Ben blushed bright red as he saw Justin nod
his head with the others.
Just then Kyle gave him a punch in the shoulder and said, " after a
while you will get used to us I just hope we don't scare you off first."
Ben looked at hi new friends and said, " I thought that I was going to hate
living here, because I had left all my friends back in NY, but I have never
been made to feel so welcome as I am by you guys. And I know I am going to
love going to school with all of you."
That evening after the General had reviewed all of Justin's papers from
school he called him into his den. "I spoke to Captain Russel, and
Sergeant-General Goshen today and you may invite the boys over for
Saturday. Oh, one more thing it seems you made a good impression on young
Mr. Goshen, his father had a lot of praise for how you treated his son
yesterday. You just might become a man yet."
Justin rushed up to his room and called Kyle. "Hey dude whatsup."
"Would you like to come over and hang out on Saturday afternoon."
"Did you ask the General's permission first?"
"Dude do you think I'm brain dead, the General spoke with your dad and
Ben's dad, I hope you don't mind I wanted to invite Ben to come over too."
"Cool I like him a lot and it will be fun." Justin then called Ben's
house.
"Hello, is Ben home?"
"This is Jon, his father, who is calling please."
"Justin Blake Sir."
"You're General Blake's son, the boy who made Ben feel so welcome
yesterday?"
"Yes Sir."
"All of Ben's friends call me Jon do you think you can do that?"
"Yes, Sir, ah I mean Jon," Justin said. Jon laughed and said, "do you want
to talk to Ben."
"If I may, Sir I mean Jon."
Justin heard Jon walking somewhere, then he heard a knock on a door,
"phone for you bud," he said.
"Hello," said Ben.
"Ben this is Justin, I was wondering if you would like to hang out with
Kyle and me at my house on Saturday."
"That would be great, let me check with my dad." Justin heard Ben walking
and then asking permission from his dad.
"I don't know Ben are you sure you deserve to go," Jon said?
Then Justin heard Ben say, "you're an ogre you know that don't you," then
Justin heard a little scuffle and he heard Ben's high pitched giggle.
Then he heard Ben say, "Daddy no more you're going to make me wet my pants
and Justin is waiting for an answer."
"Of course you can go you nut."
"Thanks daddy," said Ben.
"Justin are you still there?"
"Yea, dude what was that all about."
"Oh, just my dad tickling me half to death. I always tell him I hate it
when he does that, but I really love it, my dad is cool and we have so much
fun together."
"Ok, dude see you at school tomorrow," said Justin. After hanging up the
phone Justin laid on his bed and cried silent tears. Why God couldn't my
dad love me like that.
Saturday afternoon arrived and Kyle rode his bike to Justin's shortly
after that Ben arrived in his dad's pickup. They took Ben's bike out of
the back of the pickup. Justin and Kyle wanted to see all of Jon's pickup
so he parked it and let Ben give his friends the grand tour from the blown
454 Chevy engine to the custom paint job, and the hydraulic box. Which
raised up to a 45degree angle so that people could see the chrome and
stainless steel frame and undercarriage.
Jon even pulled into the street and did a small smoke show so that the
boys could get a since of the power that the 800hp engine was capable of.
Justin and Kyle both were impressed. After doing the smoke show, Jon
stepped out of the truck and gave Ben a hug and told him to have a great
time. As the boys raced into Justin room to play video games Kyle noticed
that Justin had tears in his eyes. Kyle thought why couldn't Justin been
born to parents who loved him like his parents and Ben's did.
The boys played video games for an hour then went outside and rode
their bikes to the Dairy Queen for an ice cream. At four- thirty Kyle went
home to get ready to go out to supper with his family. The General got
home just after Kyle had gone home as he pulled into the driveway Ben's
bike was parked there waiting to be put in the back of his dad's pickup.
When Justin noticed the bike he ran to move it so that the General could
get in the garage.
Just as he got to Ben's bike he fell on the tar and cut his knee, but
didn't even stop for a moment instead he pushed Ben's bike out of the way.
When the General stepped out of the garage Justin was standing there
holding the bike with blood running his leg from the cut on his knee.
"How many times have I told you that this is my driveway and not to put
anything in it you fucking moron."
Then he slapped Justin across the face with one of his massive paws.
Justin's head bounced like a pom-pom on a car radio antenna.
Ben couldn't believe what had just happened. "Sir it wasn't Justin's
fault, he didn't even know I had put my bike there. I put it there after I
called my dad to come and get me so it would be easer to put in the
pickup."
"And who the fuck are you anyway?"
"I'm Ben Goshen," he said extending his hand to the General.
Just then Jon pulled into the drive.
"What's going on here?" he said as he noticed Justin's red face and
tears. "Nothing, just my fucking dumb little cocksucker forgot to tell
your son not to leave his bike in the driveway. The dumb ass is always
fucking- up Sergeant- General."
"Phil it looks like your son has a bad cut on his knee, shouldn't we take a
look at it."
"Hell no, he will never be a man if he can't take a little pain."
"Listen Phil, I was going to ask you if your son could spend the night
tonight and go fishing with Ben and I in the morning." said Jon.
"You sure you want that pussy crybaby spending time with your boy?" replied
the General.
"Sure, Ben and I will whip ,him into shape in no time, is it ok if he
comes?" Jon said.
"Yeah, I'm pissed at him anyway, get him out of my sight" the General
spouted back as he walked into the house.
John walked up to Justin and patted him on the head, "Ben will go with you
to get your stuff for tonight, I'll wait here for you."
As they drove away from the General's house, Jon pulled into the first gas
station. "Do we need gas dad?" Ben asked.
"No, I want to clean up Justin's knee. Go get the bathroom key will ya."
Jon turned to Justin and said, "Let's get you cleaned up."
They met Ben at the bathroom door and the three went inside. Jon told
Justin to sit on the stool while he washed the blood from his knee and his
leg.
"Ben go get the first aid kit from out of the truck please." When Ben got
back Jon disinfected Justin's knee and put a bandage over it.
As they came out of the bathroom Jon put his arms around both boys and gave
them a hug and said "Come on boys, lets go do something fun."
As Jon drove back home, he mulled over the words and the scene that he
had just seen at his commander's home. It was clear to him that Justin was
being mistreated, he just didn't know what to do about it. When they got
to the house, Ben took Justin upstairs to show him his room. He asked
Justin,"have you ever played on a PlayStation system?"
"No way!, you mean you really got one?"
"Sure and I got 10 games for it. Wanna play?".
"Absolutely dude!, where are the games?"
"They're on that shelf, pick some out while I go get us a soda."
When Ben got downstairs he found his father and said, "What's this about
going fishing in the morning? You didn't say anything to me about it."
"Ben, you like Justin a lot as a friend don't you?"
"Sure dad."
"Well I could see there was going to be trouble and I was thinking if we
got Justin out of there the General might be calmed down by the time we got
back tomorrow."
"Dad, just before you got there Justin's dad slapped him really hard."
"I know son, I saw the mark on his face and that is why I wanted to get him
out of there."
"What should I do dad?"
"Just be a good friend to him."
Ben hugged his dad and said, "Thanks dad, I am so glad you're my dad." He
then grabbed two sodas and started upstairs. The boys played video games
until Ben's mom called them down to supper.
Justin couldn't believe his eyes and ears as he sat and ate supper with
Ben's family. Meals at his house were something to be tolerated, at Ben's
house they were like a recess.... a time of fun and joking.
After supper Jon said, "Ok men, the women made the meal so we men are on
cleanup duty."
Justin couldn't believe how great Ben and Jon got along together. Just
as they were finishing drying the dishes, Jon started a towel snapping war
and before they were done the 3 of them were all laughing. Finally Jon
said "Enough, enough!". Then throwing them to the floor tickling them
until they begged for mercy.
Betty poked her head into the kitchen door and said, "You three boys
behave yourselves!" with a giggle and turned and left the room.
"Dad, would it be ok if we got in the hottub?" asked Ben.
"What are you a little mind reader? I was just going to suggest after our
towel war a hot soak might be good."
"Do you want to go in Justin?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, but I didn't bring a bathing suit."
Ben looked at his dad and winked. His dad nodded an approval. "Justin,
when Ben and I go into the hot-tub we usually just go in our birthday suits
because it is a lot better for the filter if you don't where suits."
Justin thought for a second and then said, "Sure, why not."
Ben ran to the bathroom and grabbed 3 large towels. They walked out the
back patio door and Jon turned off the light. The only lights were from
the stars. He removed the cover and then began taking off his clothes to
get into the soft sided hot-tub. Justin saw that Ben was doing the same
thing and so he quickly removed his t-shirt and shorts, and boxers and
stepped into the water. He sat in the tub between Jon, and Ben.
He sat there with his eyes looking down at the water so as not to be
looking at Ben and his dad until Jon said, "Justin."
When he said that, Justin looked up to see what he wanted.
"There's a switch right behind your back for the bubbles. Can you turn it
on?"
Justin was real glad the bubbles started because when he saw Ben's
father, he popped the biggest boner of his life. Jon was the first naked
man he had ever seen. Justin sat there thinking to himself...I'm a
pervert, I'm just what my father said. If I was normal this wouldn't
happen to me. Jon and Ben began a game of splashing. Jon quickly noticed
that Justin wasn't taking part in the game. He moved over and put his arm
around Justin and gave him a hug and said,
"What's the matter son?"
Jon then noticed that Justin's face was bright red. Even in the
moonlight he could see it. He thought to himself..... I know what the
problem is.
"Ben, did I ever tell you about the first time I got in a hot-tub?"
"No dad, you didn't. What happened?".
"On my first deployment overseas after your mom and I got married, my
buddies and I got a 4 day pass. So we went to this little resort in the
Austrian Alps and rented a chalet. It had a hot-tub and none of us had
ever been in one before. We all had a few drinks we decided to go into the
hot-tub, but since none of us had suits, we decided to go skinny dipping.
I yelled, 'Last one in buys the beer tomorrow', I was the first one in and
laughed as my friends rushed to strip to avoid being the last one.
As I sat there watching my friends, with the bubbles and hot water
flowing around me, I realized I had gotten a hard on. I thought I was
going to die of embarrassment. My 3 buddies all jumped in and we were
quickly laughing it up.
All of a sudden, Jeff the boldest one of our group, said 'Hell, there
must something to hot-tub stuff, ol' Herman is sticking up like a minuteman
missile.' Well the rest of us laughed and admitted we were in the same
condition."
"Dad, you're so full of shit, that didn't really happen did it?" said Ben.
"Yes it did, and if you don't believe me, ask my friend Bill because he was
one of the guys in the hot-tub with me that day." Ben splashed some water
at his dad and then said, "Dad your just too cool".
Jon looked over at Justin and saw he was smiling too and was starting to
splash along with Ben. After soaking for a half an hour, John said, "Ok
guys, we're going to turn into prunes. Enough for tonight."
The three of them stepped out of the hottub and Jon put the cover back
on and Ben and Justin wrapped towels around themselves. Jon threw his
towel over his shoulders and grabbed a boy in each arm and gave them a kiss
on the top of their heads and said, "See you boys in the morning." and
then headed into the house. As he reached the patio door he turned and
said to Ben, "It's 10 now, I want lights out at midnight. Love you."
Ben answered, "Ok dad, love you too. Good night."
As they walked into the kitchen through the patio door, Ben asked Justin ,
"are you hungry ?"
Justin answered, "always bud."
"How's chips, salsa and soda sound to you?"
"Super, what kind of chips you got?"
"We got some plain ones and some super hot that my dad and I like. Which
ones do you want?"
Justin looked at Ben and slapped his own forehead and said, "Duh!, super
hot, what do you think?!"
With that remark both boys broke out in giggles. "Come on dude let's go
up to my room."
When they got to Ben's room they each grabbed a pair of boxers. After
pulling them on they turned and discovered that they had both chosen a pair
of C-K's with big smiley faces on them that caused them to break out in
giggles all over again. This time they were laughing so hard that they
fell to the floor.
Jon was just heading to his bedroom in a clean pair of boxers after
taking his shower and stuck his head in the room to see what all the
laughter was about. "Guys what up," Jon asked.
Both boys just pointed at each other and giggle all the more. Puzzled
Jon stepped into his son's bedroom to see what this was all about. When he
stepped into the bedroom both boys took one look at him and broke into
absolute hysterics.
"What the hell Jon thought and then he noticed that all three had on the
exact same boxers. Jon quickly caught the boys infectious laughter, and
landed on the floor in a fit of giggles with the boys. A moment latter
Betty stuck her head in the room and saw the three of them on the floor in
a fit of giggles.
"Just what is going on here?"she said in mock anger.
Jon could only point at his boxers and then at the boys boxers. Betty
really didn't see how it was that funny, but then she didn't get a lot of
her mens inside jokes. So she stepped into the room and reach for Jon's
hand.
"Come on it's bed time."
Jon took one look at his wife and broke out in giggles all over again.
The two boys looked up and saw what Jon had seen and began to go into
hysterics again. Betty stood there starting to get angry until she looked
down at her own nightgown and discovered that she had on her smiley face
one. Betty sat on Ben's Bed and laughed so hard that tears ran down her
face. Finally Jon grabbed Betty's hand and said, " goodnight" as he pulled
Betty to their room.
Ben got off the floor and closed the door and said, "ok games or
video's."
"What have you got for video's?"
"My dad picked up a copy of Hannibal at blockbuster today, have you seen it
yet."
"No."
"No we don't go to the movies much, we usually wait for them to come out on
video."
"Let's watch it, Kyle told me it was awesome," said Justin.
The two boys lay on the foot of the bed with pillows under their
heads. As
they lay next to each other on the bed watching the movie Ben slipped his
arm over Justin's shoulder. At first Justin didn't know what to make of
it. But, he quickly forgot about it as the movie progressed.
A while later he discovered that he had his arm around Ben's waist. "I'm
sorry Ben." he said as he quickly went to remove it.
"Hey man don't take it away it felt good with your arm over me."
Justin wasn't sure what was happening, but there was something about Ben
that made him feel tingly all over. Justin turned to Ben and said, "can I
ask you something?"
Ben thought oh no here it comes he wants to know why I have such a big
dick. "Sure ask me anything you want to know."
"Do you think there is something wrong with me?"
This wasn't what Ben was expecting, so he said, "what do think is wrong
with you?"
Justin rolled over on his back and pulled his boxer's down and pointed
to his little pricklet, you and Kyle both have hair and look like young
men, me I still don't have any hair and all the 12 year old boys on our
Little League team have bigger dicks than me. And look at my balls they
are the size of a little jelly bean. I bet yours are way bigger. And you
have all that great hair making you look so cool."
Ben rolled onto his back and pulled down his boxers and said, "I would
trade dicks and balls with you in a second if I could. Yours dick is just
so pretty and I love the way it curves up when you are hard and your
scrotum just looks so cool and you don't have any of this nasty hair. I
mean look at all this it makes me look like a animal I hate it I wish it
would all fall out. So you see I don't think there is anything wrong you
but I sure am a freak."
The two boys looked into each other's eyes and rolled into a tight hug.
Both boys wanted to more that hug, but were afraid the other might not want
to, and the worst thing to happed to a 14 boy was to be outed as a queer.
So they hugged for a few seconds and then pulled up their boxers and went
back to watching the movie.
Kyle had been Justin best friend as long as he could remember and they
had watched movies on each others bed with their arms around each like he
and Ben were doing and it never made him feel like this. Justin thought is
was a scary good feeling, but he just wasn't sure if if it meant that he
and Ben were . When Justin started to take his arm off of Ben had asked
him not to.
When the movie ended the boys went into the bathroom to brush their
teeth and Ben look a leak without thinking about doing it in front of
Justin. Justin followed him at the toilet. When Justin got back to Ben's
bedroom Ben was sitting on his bed.
"Which side do you want?" asked Ben.
"Why don't you take your usual side and I'll take the other, K."
"Sounds good to me bud." Ben answered.
The two boys climbed into bed with their backs toward each other. As
they lay in bed each boy thought of how much he liked the other boy. As
they lay there both boy developed a problem and quickly moved farther apart
in the bed.
When Jon and Betty had got into bed Jon told her all about what he had
seen
at the General's house. That boy is scared to death of his father and
it's obvious that the General thinks his son is a worthless piece of shit.
"Oh Jon what can we do to help that poor boy?"
"I honestly don't know, but we have to make sure that he spend as much time
as possible with Ben and I'm going to see if Ben will help us make a place
here where he can feel loved and safe."
"When the morning bird's song penetrated the fog in Justin's brain, he
found himself spooned to Ben's back. His left arm was under Ben's neck and
his right was locked around Ben's lower body, with Ben's right arm locking
it firmly to his body. As Justin went to move his hand he suddenly
panicked, because he realized that his hand was Ben's groin. As he tried
to move his arm and hand Ben rolled away form him and trapped his hand
right were it was. As if that wasn't enough his own
morning woody was jammed against Ben's butt.
All of a sudden Jon walked into Ben's room to check on the boys, and
noticed that Ben had Justin trapped in his deep sleep. When Jon looked at
Justin he saw nothing but fear in the boys eyes.
"Got you trapped in his sleep-lock does he?" asked Jon.
Justin nodded his head. "Just pull your arm free he won't wake up. The
last time we went camping it took me five minutes to unlock him from myself
before I could get up. He always ends up wrapped around anyone that sleeps
with him. If you keep coming over you will get used to it."
Justin pulled his hand out from under Ben's body and started to get out of
bed. But when he pulled away from Ben's back he looked down and saw a wet
spot on the front of his Boxers and on the back of Ben's boxers. Oh no he
thought I peed on Ben, having never had a wet dream before he didn't
realize what had happened. Justin quickly removed his boxers and tried to
wipe the mess off of Ben's. But, the more he tried the bigger the mess
was.
With tears running down his face he silently slipped on a pair of Umbro
shorts and an Old Navy T, and put the rest of his stuff in the bag he had
brought from his house. Justin was hoping that he could sneak out the door
and walk home without anyone seeing him. He had made it halfway across the
kitchen floor when Jon came in the door with the morning paper in his
hands.
"Morning pal what up?" asked Jon. "Nothing, I just got to go home you
don't need to give me a ride I can walk."
"Wait a minute, your going fishing with Ben and me in just a little while.
I will go wake Ben up so you boys can get ready."
"NO, I can't go with you, and Ben won't want me to go when he wakes up,"
said Justin in a small voice.
Jon could see that Justin was almost in tears and he didn't have a clue
as to what was wrong. Jon reached out his hand to comfort Justin, but when
he did Justin brought his own hand up as if to block a blow.
Jon quickly realized what was happening and said, "Justin I would never hit
or hurt you in anyway, I was just trying to comfort you. Now tell me what
this is all about and don't spare the details."
"I cccan't. you'll find out when Ben wakes up,"
Justin answered with tears running down his face as he made a dash for the
kitchen door. Jon had anticipated the move and grabbed him in a hug.
Holding Justin tight he said, "it will be ok now just tell me."
Jon was getting tired of this, so he said in his best Sergeant-Major voice,
"enough of this nonsense up to Ben's room now."
He took Justin and went up stairs to his son's room. "Ben, wake up," he
said in his usual morning voice.
Ben opened his eyes and turned on to his back to stretch. "YUK," Ben said
and then his face got all red. At that moment Justin began to cry.
Jon held tightly on to Justin's hand and asked Ben, "what's the matter?"
Ben's face got even redder and he just shook his head. "Justin and Ben I
've had it with this not talking bit. Justin may not have to answer me son
but you do, now get out of that bed and tell me what is going on."
"Dad can I go to the bathroom first please?" Jon nodded his head and said,
"just hurry back I want to get to the bottom of this once and for all."
Ben came back into the room a few minutes later with a towel wrapped
around his waist. "Ok what is this all about? Why is Justin trying to go
home and saying you won't want him here when you wake up. I want to know
what happened between you two last night." "
You want to know what happened between the two of us last night dad," Ben
asked as his face got red again and he let out a small giggle.
"I think Justin will have to tell you that, but I do know what happened in
front of us," he said as he broke into more giggles.
"Enough, out with it now," commanded Jon.
"Well I'm not sure about Justin, but I must have had one of those dreams
last night, you know the ones that we talked about last year; because when
you woke me up the front of my boxer were a sticky mess. And when I went
into the bathroom to clean up I found out that the back was a mess also so
I think Justin had the same dream as I did last night. It must have
happened just before he woke up because I was dreaming that someone was
making me feel good and than I felt a hand on the front of my boxers and I
fell back to sleep."
"Justin were you trying to do something to Ben when you woke up this
morning," asked Jon?
"NNNO sir I woke up and found my hand wwwas on Ben's ahhh thing and I
couldn't get it loose; because I was afraid I would wake him up. But, when
you said that he wouldn't wake up, I pulled my hand free and went to get
out of bed when I saw that I had wet my boxers and wet Ben's I don't know
what happened I haven't peed the bed in years. But my penis was out of my
boxers and I had wet both of us. The General must be right I must be a
faggot pussy boy." Justin said as he broke into tears all over again.
Jon pulled Justin to himself and held him until he quieted. "Justin,
Justin it ok you're not what your dad said, and even if you were gay you
would still be a wonderful person. You didn't pee you just had a wet dream
like Ben did, they are perfectly normal for boys your age and there isn't
anything you can do to stop them. Hasn't your dad talked to you about all
the changes that your body is going to go through in the next few years?"
"No, he never talks to me unless it is to yell at me for messing up.""
All of a sudden Ben wrapped his arms around Justin and whispered into his
ear, I love you dude, its cool. I wonder if we had the same dream."
Justin gave Ben a hug back and told Jon. "thanks."
"Justin, I want you to know that there is nothing and I mean nothing that
you can't tell me or Ben. If you ever need help in any way you promise to
let us know and we will stand by you, ok."
Justin nodded
"Alright let's go fishing.
The rest of the day was great, and they caught a whole string of nice
bass. As they were driving home Jon asked Justin, "did you enjoy your first
time fishing?"
"It was great, I"m really glad you asked me to come."
"Now that you have experienced the fun part of fishing you get to help Ben
with the not so fun part of taking care of the boat and then cleaning the
fish."
Justin looked at Jon and said, "but, the fish just came out of the clean
lake they can't be dirty."
Jon and Ben both cracked up and Justin sat there wondering what was so
funny. Ben gave Justin a little punch in the arm and said, "I will show
you how to clean a fish when we get home and then you will understand."
With that statement he and Jon burst out laughing again. Just before they
got back to the house Jon looked over at Justin and asked if he would like
to stay over again tonight.
"I'm not allowed to on school nights," answered Justin.
"I'll call and talk with your parents and see what they will say."
"I wish you wouldn't I would probable get in trouble for asking", said
Justin in a small scarred voice.
When they got home Jon told the boys to unhook the boat and spray it
out with hose and then stand it up to drain. He went into the house and
gave Betty a hug and kiss.
"How did it go with Justin this today," asked Betty?
"Well the morning started real strange but the fishing was great," answered
Jon.
"What happened this morning," asked Betty?
"Just guy stuff, part of boys growing up, no big deal. So when you do the
laundry and find a pair of Ben's boxer pretty messed up don't worry about
it," answered Jon.
"I swear you guys have more secrets than a whole car load of priests."
"While the one thing I can tell you is that is one nice kid out there and
he has been treated real bad. I just wish there was more we could do to
make his life better. I asked if he wanted to spend the night and he got
all scared that he would get into trouble for just asking."
"Oh, Jon why do some parents have to be so hard on their kids," asked
Betty?
"I'm going to call the General and tell him that Justin enjoyed the
fishing, but he needs to learn that he has to clean up after and I want him
to stay the night and finish the job. That should get him to be able spend
the night without getting in trouble."
Jon, called and Justin's mom answered. "Mrs. Blake is the General home?"
"No he is at the base, who's calling please?"
"This is Sergeant-Major Goshen and I just wanted to let you know that
Justin had a great time fishing today, but."
"What stupid thing did he do this time," spat out Mrs. Blake.
"He didn't anything wrong, in fact he is the best behaved friend Ben
has ever had. I sure you and the General must be very proud to have such a
wonderful son. The reason I'm calling is there are a lot of fish to clean
and I would like for Justin to have to help Ben. I want him to understand
that there is a responsibility of more than just fun to fishing, so if it
would be ok with you I will keep him here overnight and bring him to school
in the morning with Ben. I will make sure that they don't stay up late."
"Mr. Russel, we don't usually allow Justin to spend a school night away
from home, however I will call the General and have him call you if you
will give me your number."
A few minutes later the phone rang and Jon answered, "good afternoon," he
said.
"General Blake here, did that little bastard put you up to calling me?"
"Sir, you know better than to even ask something like that. I am speaking
to you before I say anything to your wonderful son. I don't know why you
call him a bastard but the whole time he has been with he has been a model
child and my wife, son, and I have greatly enjoyed having him as a guest
and hope he may return often. But, the reason I want him to spend the
night is so that he may learn the responsibility of taking care of the fish
he has caught," answered Jon.
"Yes, I can see that it would be good for him to learn to do the work as
well as have the fun. He may spend the night without any impunity," said
the General in a clipped voice.
"Well, what did he say," asked Betty? "Justin can stay without any
impunity is what he said, you know something , that guy may be my commander
but he is a real jerk, and doesn't deserve to have a wonderful son like
Justin; and as if that isn't bad enough his wife is just as bad. They
never speak of Justin with using some type of derogatory remark."
"Jon, is there anyone you might be able to talk at the base to see if we
can help Justin?"
"The only one I can think of is Captain Russel, Don and I have known each
other for more than twenty years and his son and Justin are best friends.
I'll talk to him tomorrow to see what he knows and what he thinks we can do
to help."
Jon walked outside to make sure that the boys had cleaned the boat
properly. The boys had just finished and Justin asked, "could you give me
a ride home it' getting and I need to go home."
"Not tonight you don't," said Jon.
"Please Sir if I don't get home soon I will be in big trouble."
"Calm down Justin, I spoke with your dad and told him that I wanted to
teach you about responsibility of taking care of the fish you catch."
"He didn't ask if I had asked you to call for me, did he."
"Yes he did and I told him you didn't even know that I was calling him. He
said that since it was going to be a lesson for you it would be ok this
time."
"Jon, why are you being so nice to me," asked Justin?
"Justin, I know, we don't know you very well, but it seems to me that your
parents don't treat you very well. In fact I think your father has
physically abused you; now I'm not asking you to reveal any family secrets,
but from what I have seen you are a good boy and should be treated like we
do Ben. I wish there was something my wife and I can do to make your life
better. I just want you to know that you are always welcome here and you
will always be safe here."
Justin gave Jon a big hug and said, " you have no idea how much that means
to me." "But, I still don't understand why we have to wash the fish?"
Jon and Ben again shook with laughter as they both said, "you will find out
soon enough." An hour later Justin, now knew the difference between a
clean fish and having to clean a fish.
"For something that lives in something like water they sure can make you
stink and get dirty in a hurry. What do we do with the fish now that we
have cleaned them," asked Justin as he held up his scaly bloody hands.
"Mom will freeze them until she decides to have them for supper."
"You boys rinse your hand under the hose and then go into the laundry room
and wash as best as you can. Leave your clothes in there and put a towel
on before you come into the kitchen for supper," said Jon.
"Your parents don't mind you coming to the table in just a towel."
"Nah, it's not something we do all the time, but once in a while mom lets
us, answered Ben.
"Your family is really weird, but it sure is a lot more fun here than at
the General's house."
As the boys were eating supper Betty said you both need a shower, and
both Jon and I also do, but our hot water heater is acting up and the
plumber can't come until Tuesday. So unless you really don't to I would
like the two of you to take a shower together so there will be some hot
water left for me after dad finishes. Ben and Justin went into the
bathroom and climbed into the shower. When Ben turned around to rinse his
hair, Justin noticed a large grease mark on Ben's back.
"Do you know that you have grease on your back dude."
"Where I can't see it."
"Right there below your shoulder blade."
"I can't reach it, could you wash my back for me?"
"Ah, ah, I guess so, you don't mind after what happened last night?"
"Dude I told you this morning it cool, so how's bout my back."
As Justin washed Ben's back he tried to not think about what he was
doing. Finally the grease was completely gone and Justin said, "all gone
dude clean as the day you were born." "
Thanks bud, here switch places with me so you can rinse your hair."
The boys changed places and Justin turned to face the shower nozzle and
begin rinsing his hair. Ben took the washcloth and began to wash Justin's
back. Justin almost jumped out of his skin when Ben began washing his
back.
"There, one good turn deserves another," said Ben. "Turn around and rinse
off your back, then I'll rinse one last time and we'll be done."
As Justin slowly turned around he didn't dare look down hoping that Ben
wouldn't either. But as the two boys tried to go by each other in the tub,
their dicks touched and both looked down and said Kyle's famous line from
the locker room, "ah, the damn thing did it again." Both boys broke into a
fit of giggles.
Ben looked into Justin's face and whispered, "Justin my dad told me that it
is normal for boys our age to jerk off together and they often do it to
each other. Now I have never done it with anyone, but I would like to with
you if you want. Dad told me it doesn't mean that I would be gay, he said
he used to do it with his best friend when he was our age. So do you want
to do each other?"
"Are you sure no one will find out."
"Of course not, it will be our secret."
"Ok, but I don't shoot yet."
"Yes, you do, or you did this morning."
They both giggled at that statement, then Ben reached out and took
someone's else's dick into his hand. Oh, my god it is so soft and hard at
the same time. He began to slowly pump his hand up and down Justin's
little pricklet. Justin reached out and wrapped his hand around Ben's huge
dick, it was so big his hand wouldn't even fit all the way around. The two
boys stared into each others eyes as they stroked each other. In just a
short time both groaned and experienced their first ever orgasm caused by
someone's else's hand. It was also the first time for Justin to fell cum
flying out of his pricklet.
"Wow, " both boys said at the same time.
Ben shut off the water and then the two boy climbed out of the shower
and dried off, and ran into Ben's room to get dressed. Justin reached into
his bag for a clean pair of boxers, then looked at Ben and said,
"I'm going to put on plain white CK's. We're aren't going to be twins
again tonight are we; because I think I might wet myself if that happened
again?"
"Your safe dude," Ben laughed as he jumped out from the other side of the
bed wearing a pair of bright red Tommy Hilfinger boxers.
The two boys came down the stairs with their arms around each other's
shoulders still laughing about the boxer thing from the night before.
When Betty saw the boys she said, "stop right there and don't move a muscle
I want a picture of the two of you."
Betty grabbed her Polaroid and took three photos so each boy would have one
and she would also. The photos came out real good and Betty said,
"You two look nice together like as if you had been best friends forever."
After watching TV with Ben's parents for a hour, Betty said, "ok guys it
time for bed."
Ben got up and gave each of his parents a hug, and then the two boys
started to leave the room.
"Justin, come here please," said Betty. Justin walked over to Betty where
she gave him a big hug, then said "you do like hugs don't you?"
Justin nodded his head and the two boys left the room to get ready for bed.
The two boys climbed into bed with their backs to each other.
After a few minutes Ben said, "are you still awake?"
"Yea"
"I need to tell you something, but I need you to promise not be too mad at
me and
stop being my friend."
"Ben, even though we haven't been friends for that long you have been a
real friend and no matter what you say that won't change."
"Well it is about where your hand was this morning."
"Ben I'm really sorry about that I was sleeping when it happened honestly."
"I know but you didn't put it there. I woke up around five this morning
and when I went to stretch I moved my hand down my stomach, I bumped your
hand and it ended on top of my boxers. All of sudden I got hard, and then
I was really scared and so I tried to move your hand, but you were still
asleep and your hand closed around my boner. I know you were still asleep;
because you were snoring quietly. I just lay there trying to get back to
sleep, but with your hand where it was I just couldn't relax and before I
could stop it from happening I had shot off in my boxers. I'm really sorry
I didn't say any thing this morning. But, when I sat up and found the back
of my boxes were wet and sticky also I was confused about what had
happened."
"Ben, it's ok I really was asleep, but I did have a dream that was about
you and me maybe that is when it happened to me."
"Justin"
"Yea"
"Do you think this means were gay?"
"I don't know, I'm just not sure."
"Me either, I mean I really liked what we did in the shower, and when we
were doing I wanted to kiss you."
"Justin, should we ask my dad about this?"
"No, Ben please don't tell anyone. If the General ever heard anything
about this he would kill me, and I don't mean I would be in trouble. I
know that he would beat me to death, he hates gays and says they should all
be killed."
Ben could feel the bed start to shaking from Justin.
"Justin, I can tell that you're not making this up, so I promise I won't
say anything to anyone."
"Thanks bud I was real scared there for a minute."
"Justin"
"Yea"
"Does your dad beat you?"
"Does he hurt you real bad?"
"Sniffle, sniffle , yea sometimes really bad. But you can't tell anyone or
it would just get worse"
"Justin, do you think it would be ok if I cuddled up to you and just held
you so you aren't scared anymore?"
"I guess that would be ok."
Ben rolled over and put his arms around Justin, the two boys quickly feel
asleep and were still wrapped together when Jon poked his head in the room
in the morning and told them to wake up.
