Tommy and Tanner 5

Christmas break was longer than usual because the holiday fell in the
middle of the week.  In years when it did, school board members and
administrators felt it was pointless to have students go to classes for a
couple of days after Christmas and then be off again for New Year's.  Why
not combine the time with the weekends and have a real vacation?  They
usually started school a few days earlier in the fall to compensate so
second term wouldn't run too long in the spring.

As a result, the boys in the Torrance household had much more leisure time
than usual.  Tim used some of his hours of freedom to hang with Chas and to
take in a couple of movies with his friend and the girls they had escorted
to homecoming.

Tanner got a call from Sibyl inviting him to dinner when her grandparents
came to visit on the weekend.  Tanner wasn't particularly excited about
meeting the grandparents because he felt like he was on exhibit.  They were
nice people, but tended to act as if he were Sibyl's boyfriend – a title
he was not ready to assume.

After her grandparents left, Sibyl continued to invite Tanner over. Her
parents were both at work since they didn't get the same kind of break the
teachers did.  Tanner was hesitant to go, but he thought his deceased
father would expect him to take more than a passing interest in girls and
he might as well get used to it.

Teri wasn't aware that Tanner and Sibyl were alone at her house or she
would have forbidden his going.  As it was, Tanner's experiences with the
opposite sex were progressing a little faster than he was ready for.

When Tim and Tanner were gone, Tommy moped around the house.  He played
video games against his little brother sometimes, but he won so often that
it wasn't much fun.  Besides, Tuck started inviting other boys his age to
play with him during vacation, Bobby Emmons being the main one.

When one of his classmates, Mason Frey, called to invite him over, Tommy
jumped at the chance.  Mason was home alone because his parents both worked
and he had no siblings.  But, he did have all of the latest video games and
was a worthy opponent.

Mason was not just an only child, but an only grandchild on both sides of
the family.  Therefore, he had about every electronic "toy" a boy could
dream of owning.  His room was at least twice the size of the one Tommy and
Tanner shared and it practically overflowed with possessions.

Mason's room was also kept at a higher temperature than Tommy's was.  It
was almost uncomfortably warm.  Tommy shed his sweatshirt as they paused
from playing for a few minutes.  Mason also took off his sweater
complaining that his parents insisted on keeping the house too hot.  They
were both in jeans and thin, tight-fitting T-shirts which showed off their
nipples.

As they lay back on Mason's bed relaxing after a challenging game, Mason
started to play-wrestle with Tommy.  The two were evenly matched since they
were about the same height and weight.  However, Tommy managed to pin Mason
on his back and grinned in victory.

Mason pushed up with his hips bringing their groins together.  He kind of
humped against Tommy which made the latter lose concentration.  Then in a
surprise move, Mason flipped Tommy on his back.

Tommy's energy was spent, so he didn't try to dislodge Mason.  Besides, the
body contact felt pretty good – especially now that he and Tanner
weren't sharing a bed.  Mason took advantage of his dominant position and
humped against Tommy again.  Tommy froze.  He didn't know what to do.  Male
sexual play of this sort wasn't supposed to feel good to a guy, but it did
– really good.  It also felt hot when Mason playfully pinched his
nipples.  A few minutes later, he didn't resist when Mason undid the button
and zipper on his jeans.

----------

About a month later, as Tommy and Tanner trudged home from school in the
newly fallen snow, Tanner brought up the subject of Tommy's friendship with
Mason.

"Man, are you sure you want to hang around with him?  He might not be the
best guy to be seen with.  I overheard some talk between a couple of guys
on the basketball team and they were saying what good blow-jobs he gives.
It looks like he does more than hand out towels after the practice."

Tommy gulped.

"Are you sure he's doing it with those other guys?" he asked before
realizing the implications of how he'd phrased his question.

(But Tanner didn't seem to pick up on the "other guys" part of Tommy's
response as he continued.)

"They bragged about using him, and they talked about one time when he did
three of them at the same time in the shower while the other guys watched.
I guess one guy kept an eye out for the coaches so they didn't get caught."

Tommy felt sick.  He had assumed he was Mason's only playmate.  He wondered
what kind of things he could catch from someone who evidently wasn't into
monogamy.  He felt even worse emotionally as he thought about how closely
he had bonded with Mason.  Mason was a handsome stud nearly a year older
though he was also a freshman.  Tommy had been elated that Mason would want
to be naked with him.  Damn!

As the boys were entering the kitchen door, the phone rang.  It was Mason
calling to see if Tommy could come over.  Tommy made some lame excuse about
all the stuff he had to do for school so he wouldn't have to confront the
issue right away.

Tanner and he started their homework a few minutes later.  Tanner could
tell something was eating at Tommy because the latter was having trouble
concentrating.  He had to be prompted to stay on task.  Normally, it was
the other way around because Tanner was more prone to let his mind wander.

At dinner, Tommy picked at his food.  Teri noticed and asked if he felt
ill.  Her questioning caused him to attempt to eat better and not to mope
around as much - at least not openly.

"Are you mad at me?" Tanner asked as the boys donned their pajama bottoms
and got ready for bed.

"No, why would I be mad at you?" Tommy responded.

"Well, I guess for telling you about Mason.  I know you probably find it
hard to believe he sucks cocks.  But, I'm pretty sure he does.  As long as
he leaves you alone, I guess it doesn't matter, huh?"

"Why would you care if he did suck my cock as well as everybody else's?"
Tommy blurted out.

"Because you're my best bud and my brother and I don't want you to get
hurt."

----------

The following afternoon, Tommy walked home with Mason.  The minute he
followed Mason into his room, he felt Mason's hands on his crotch.  It was
a pleasant sensation, but he wasn't going to succumb to it.

"No, don't!" he demanded.

"What?  Are you playing hard to get?  I know I can help with the `hard'
part and I'm sure I'm gonna `get it'."

"We have to talk.  I heard you've been doing this with everybody.  I
thought we had something special."

"We do!  We get each other naked, we hug and kiss, I suck your dick until
you blow, and I swallow your load.  I think that's special!"

"Not if you're doing the whole basketball team," Tommy said icily.

"Hey, a guy has a right to have fun.  Have you seen some of those cocks?
You didn't think we were boyfriends, did you?" Mason asked as he began to
strip.  "We're too young to settle down to one person.  Besides, it wasn't
with everybody on the team, just two or three."

"Maybe you're right, but I thought you cared.  You could be exposing me to
all kinds of things.  I heard you can get some STD's from what you've been
doing and you could pass them on to your buddies."

"I'm not worried and you shouldn't be either.  We haven't done anything
dangerous and besides, most high school guys don't fuck around a lot –
it's more talk than action."

"Well, this is one freshman who isn't gonna chance it," Tommy declared.
"I'm outta here."

"You'll be back.  You know how good I do it.  You know you love my tongue
on your balls and licking up your hard shaft." Mason teased as he waved his
own stiffy at Tommy.  "I could teach you to be as good at sucking dick as I
am if you'd only let me.  Come here and put your tongue on this."

Tommy could feel his cock becoming harder as Mason played with himself and
talked about things he would do with him, but Tommy remained resolute.
Despite the throbbing ache in his Levis, he turned and walked down the
stairs and out the front door.

----------

Swimming every morning and every afternoon helped to keep Tommy busy enough
to distract his mind from his predicament with Mason.  The strenuous
physical exertion also helped keep him from being excessively horny.

Tanner was on the team too, so they spent a lot more time together although
there wasn't much opportunity to talk during practice.  They also shared
the locker room with a bunch of fit, hot looking guys.  Tommy discreetly
checked them out, but didn't see anyone as appealing as Tanner.  Damn!
He'd have to stop thinking like that.  After all, Tanner was now his
brother.  Besides, it seemed that Tanner was really into girls.

Most of the guys on the swim team were pretty amiable.  It was kind of like
a brotherhood.  They would tease each other and snap each other's butts
with damp towels, but they would also stand up for each other against
outsiders.

One guy on the team didn't fit that model.  Jordan Cook was a senior who
thought he was an Olympic-quality swimmer.  He was nearly 19 and, although
not built like a defensive lineman, intimidated most of the freshmen
because he towered over them.  He tried to bully the smaller boys whenever
he thought he could get away with it.

After practicing late one afternoon, Tanner headed for the locker room
while Tommy swam one more lap; working on his breast stroke which he felt
needed improvement.  Tanner could hear the shower running as he stripped
off his Speedo and grabbed his towel.

Jordan was in the shower leering at him when he entered.

"You're just the little prick I've been waiting to see.  I want you to stay
away from Sibyl.  She's too good for a pussy-boy like you."

"I'll date anyone I want to," Tanner replied obviously unimpressed by
Jordan's menacing attitude.

Of course that wasn't the answer Jordan expected to hear, because he
proceeded to shove Tanner to the floor.  Before Tanner could get up, Jordan
pointed his dick toward the freshman and tried to hit him in the face with
a stream of piss.  Tommy entered at that moment pushing Jordan and spoiling
his aim.

"You shouldn't have done that, Tommy boy," Snarled Jordan.  "I'm gonna see
that both of you get initiated properly next week.  You'll be treated to a
golden shower from everyone on the team and if you tell, you'll be missing
a few teeth."

After his threat, Jordan went to dry off and to dress.  Tommy and Tanner
stayed in the shower until they heard him leave.  When they came into the
locker room, they saw both of their suits floating in the toilet along with
a rather large turd.

"Shit!" Tommy swore.

"Exactly, my dear Watson," Tanner snickered.

Then both boys broke into giggles over Tanner's remark.  They were not
about to let the nasty actions of one jerk spoil their lives.  On their way
out, they stopped in Coach Lewis's office to report the incident.  He
accompanied them to the locker room bringing his camera, two plastic bags,
and a tongue depressor.  After taking several photos, he gloved up to get a
sample of the fecal material on the stick (which he put in the smaller of
the Ziploc bags). Finally, he fished out the Speedos and placed them in the
larger bag.

"I think I have enough evidence to prove who the culprit was.  He could be
kicked off of the team for this.  At the very least, I can probably scare
him into leaving you younger guys alone.  I sort of hate to lose him
because he's almost as good as he thinks he is."

"When he finds out we told, we'll have to watch our backs all of the time,"
Tanner said shaking his head.  "Maybe we should have just overlooked it."

"NO," the coach answered firmly. "Anyone who would do something this gross
won't stop there.  He and I need to have a `come to Jesus' meeting; you did
the right thing."

----------

It was a team tradition that all members got their hair bleached or dyed a
week before their final meets.  The chlorine from the pool had already made
it as unmanageable as straw.  Then, after a couple of days, each member was
given a wild and strange haircut by his teammates.  Just before the big
events, everyone got a complete head and body shave.  It was a kind of
bonding rite and everyone willingly took part in it.  They believed that
exposed body hair presented enough drag in the water to amount to several
seconds of time in a race.

This year, Jordan Cook was intent on making it more like a hazing -
especially for two particular freshmen.  His first attempt to humiliate the
boys was to make sure they got really weird bleach and dye jobs, but it
didn't work as he has planned because their peers thought they looked cool.

His next scheme, of shaving off only part of their hair, backfired too.
Tanner and Tommy walked around school like punk-rock stars with their
strange colored Mohawks spiked high with gel.  Other kids wanted to have
their pictures taken with the pair.  It launched them into a kind of
small-time celebrity status with the older kids as well as their
classmates.

Jordan was really frustrated, so he went for plan "C".  For their body
shaving, the Torrance boys were held down while every hair on their bodies
was removed except for their eyebrows.  Their groins were as bare as a
baby's.

Jordan stood in the center drinking a Coke while making sure the other guys
on the team followed his orders.  He was enjoying the feeling of power
immensely.  He had nearly everyone intimidated enough to do his bidding.

After there was nothing left to shave, Jordan told all of the other boys to
take their dicks out and piss on the pair.  When no one made a move to
comply, Jordan swore at them calling them all a bunch of pussy-boys.  He
was going to show them how it was done.

Coach Lewis entered the locker room with his video camera running just as
Jordan was about to make good on his threat.

"Cook, you're off of the team," the coach shouted.  "Clean out your locker
and get out of my sight."

"We were only having a little fun with the boys," Jordan insisted stuffing
his penis back into his pants.  "It's nothing that everyone else hasn't
been through."

"Did the rest of you have your pubes shaved off?"

The other guys shook their heads, looking at the floor.

"Did anyone get pissed on?"

Again the response was negative.

"You can't kick me off for a little initiation stuff, coach.  I'll lose my
chance of a scholarship if you do.  My dad will sue you and the school."

"Jordan, don't even think it."

At that moment, a man in a dark suit entered the room and looked around.
He walked up to Jordan.

"Is this your drink, Son?"

"Yeah, what about it?  Are you from the cola police?  Are you gonna put me
away for having pop in the locker room?"

The man gave him an icy stare as he carefully picked up the pop can with a
gloved hand and placed it into what appeared to be an evidence bag.  Then
he turned to the coach.

"This pop can will have his DNA on it and we can compare it with the fecal
matter you retrieved from the toilet incident.  If it's a match, we can
press charges for bullying."

Jordan turned pale.  He had been blind-sided.  He rushed from the room
without stopping to remove anything from his locker.  His guilt was
evident.

"Does anyone else think this was simply a friendly initiation?" Coach Lewis
inquired after the policeman had left.

None of the other swimmers could look him in the eye except for Tommy and
Tanner who were now standing with towels around their waists.

"How many of you want to stay on the team?"

All hands went up, most of them timidly.

"I have a request.  It would be out of line for me make you do this, but
I'm going to suggest it.  In order to bond with the guys you helped Jordan
humiliate, you all should get your pubes shaved off too.  You guys who
shaved them should let them shave you.  I'm leaving now; you need to decide
what's fair.  Whatever you do, I want a close-knit group before the
finals."

The room got very quite.  Eventually, Drake stripped, handed Tommy a razor
and shaving cream and motioned him over.

"I'm sorry I took part in hazing you and I'm willing to give up my short
hairs to prove it.  Please don't nick me if you can help it."

Chris did the same asking Tanner to do the dubious honors.  One by one, all
of the team members lined up in two rows for their turn.

When Drake was "deforested", he ran his hands sensuously over his smooth
crotch which began to respond to his touch.

"I think we've started a new tradition.  I like the feel of this and I'll
bet Sally will too."

"Yeah, like she's gonna feel around your little weenie." Matt giggled.

"It won't stay little if it gets petted.  You wanna do it?" Drake said as
his dick began to plump up a bit more.

"No thanks!" Matt said, trying to look totally offended.

Everyone laughed.  The earlier tense mood was evaporating and was being
replaced by one of camaraderie as the team found themselves on equal
footing again.

-----------

By early February, Tommy was beginning to feel much better about life in
high school.  He was enjoying a bit of popularity after his crazy haircut.
His teammates and he had done very well in the district swim meets even
without their star.  He was fitting in pretty nicely all around.  And his
bush was growing back.  It even looked thicker!

Other things were working out too.  He was not sorry he had broken off his
brief relationship with Mason.  He was a wiser boy because of it, and he
hadn't exhibited any signs of sexually transmitted diseases.  He'd spent
several hours searching the Internet for symptoms and, thankfully, had none
of them.  His fear of being found out and his dread of the resulting
fallout had largely dissipated.

Besides learning the hard lesson of not giving his heart away too easily,
he was aware of the likelihood of another fact.  He was becoming more and
more convinced that his yearning for other boys was not a passing phase.

He continued to double date with Tanner about once every couple of weeks,
but he didn't experience any magic when he finally tried making out with
Ava.  She was pretty and sweet, but she just didn't do it for him.

Perhaps in another year, when he had matured more, he would feel different.
And yet even as he thought about it, he wasn't convinced.  He wished he had
someone to talk to about it.  Maybe he could find help on the `net.  But
he'd heard horror stories about predators.  What if some dirty old man
would try to take advantage of him.  He'd have to be careful.

Lawrence and Douglas gave me permission to say a bit about their story.
They fell in love at 16, committed themselves to each other when they
turned 17 and have been together for something like half a century!  So,
for the unbelievers in the crowd, such love does happen!
