(But someone was watching, two sets of eyes saw the exchange and smiled at each other conspiratorially.)
Tuesday morning found Cheri and Amber engaged in an activity with a few other girls, so Danny and Liam were on their own. They bought their tea and hot cocoa and wandered down by the trees at the far end of the quad.
"Hi, you’re Liam and Danny, right?" asked a tall eighth grade boy. He was handsome but shy and Liam recognized him as half of the undeclared couple that Cheri had told him about."
"That’s us, what are your names?"
"Oh, I’m Darren and this is Todd."
"Nice to meet yas."
"Me too, the same." added Danny.
The four boys observed each other for a moment and then Darren spoke.
"Look um… we sort of saw you by the tree yesterday, um… when you kissed."
"And?" Liam said almost menacingly.
"Oh nothing, I just thought maybe you guys were someone we could talk to. Maybe we could all be friends?"
"That sounds nice; a guy can always stand to have more friends," Danny said.
"Where’d you hear that?" Todd asked.
"Some Irish guy said it, it seemed to make sense." Danny giggled a bit.
"So, are you guys a real couple?" Darren asked.
"I think so, if yer asking if I love Danny; the answer is yes."
"That’s so cool. Are you thinking of being out at school?"
"We’ve been considering it; we were going to ask if you’d be interested in talking about it with some of the other gay students."
"You knew about us?" Todd asked, a bit shaken.
"Oh, I dare say a couple people know, but they’re not the type to cause you trouble. Have you been together long?" Liam asked.
"Since fifth," Darren answered.
"Well, you seem comfortable with each other and you probably don’t even realize that you give little clues as you pass. You avoid touching, when most boys shove and punch each other playfully. But the way you look at each other is a dead giveaway."
"I didn’t realize we were doing that. Oh man."
"So you do love each other right?" Danny asked.
"Yes," they answered together.
"Well then, let’s all sit down and talk about maybe being out at school. I want to be able to kiss Liam whenever I want and not take any crap for it."
"Are yas’ out at home?"
"I am but Todd’s dad is hard to read. We don’t know what he might do."
"Does he say bad stuff about gays or blacks or anybody?"
"He has some trouble tolerating Koreans but he says it’s just their cultural norms clashing with his. It just aggravates him and he works with several."
"He doesn’t sound like a hater; maybe you could give him a chance and just ask him outright how he feels about gay people."
"I guess, but it’s just scary, I can’t have my Dad hating me. He’s all I have." Todd appeared to be near tears.
"Look, this may not be the place for this, why don’t we get together after school and talk some more?" Daniel suggested.
The boys parted and agreed to meet near the office.
"What do you think Liam, should we invite them to my house after school?"
"That’s up to you, but I’ve got to say you are really good with people, Danny."
"Oh, um… thanks; But you’ll be there right?"
"You know I will, let’s leg it to the music room, it got later than I thought."
The guitar class seemed revitalized to Danny and he even helped a couple other boys with difficult passages. Even though he and Liam were the youngest students there, they all acted like equals.
Liam bounced around helping other players get their heads around what they were playing. His approach was holistic in that he not only stressed the mechanics but the feel of the piece. Once it was time for his own instruction with Mr. Levi he tackled a difficult Albinoni piece which Segovia had declared had been written by a madman. He was making astounding progress and Mr. Levi told him how impressive his playing was.
"Would you consider playing with the Orchestra on a few pieces?"
"I’m always up for a new experience; does it mean performing as well?"
"Well yes, that is the goal. I want to put together a really solid program to show the board what a mistake they’re making by canceling music programs in some of the other schools."
"How would we handle the sessions, we meet on different days?"
"I’ll have to work that out; I might spring you from a class session or two and then maybe some after school practices."
"I could live with that, would it just be me or do you have others in mind as well?"
"Well yes, Danny is one that I would like to invite and perhaps Marcus and Peter. I would be open to suggestion about others."
"I’ll give it some thought, Sir."
"Thanks Liam, I guess you should get things put away so you can get on with your day.
"With school out of the way for another day, the boys met up with Cheri and Amber and Danny made formal introductions to Todd and Darren."
"Hi guys, nice to finally meet you properly. You make a nice couple, you know." Cheri declared.
Darren’s eyes showed a small amount of fright." You know about us?"
"Sure honey, don’t worry, I’m no troublemaker. Glass houses and all that."
"Huh?" Darren stammered.
"Look, this is Amber, she’s my girlfriend and I mean that in the romantic sense. Get it?"
"Oh, right, sorry, I guess I’m a little jumpy that so many people know about Todd and me."
"It shouldn’t have to be that way, but I know where you’re coming from. I want to kiss Amber so bad right now it hurts. We should really be able to do that; and you too."
"What if he doesn’t want to kiss Amber?" Liam asked, trying to lighten the moment a bit.
Cheri giggled, "Sorry about the drama guys; here’s our ride. Let me know what you guys come up with and we’ll share notes."
"So do you guys have to be home right after school or would you like to come over to my place and talk?" Danny asked.
"We usually hang out at Todd’s until our parents get home; my sister is kind of a pain. And she brings three or four girls home most days, and they pretty much take over. But Todd’s house is nice and we have a little privacy."
"Let’s go to Danny’s and talk," Liam suggested.
"Is it close?" asked Todd
"About three blocks away, over on Ward."
Little T.J. was lying in wait and Danny could see this would be an everyday thing for a while. Maybe T.J. would get tired but he didn’t seem the type. Danny genuinely liked T.J. and didn’t mind all that much. T.J. squealed and giggled as Danny and Liam passed him back and forth.
"Is that your little brother?" Todd asked.
"No, he’s my neighbor. He just seems to like me and Liam."
"Neat kid," said Darren.
"We have to go now T.J., but we’ll come back once we’re done." Liam told him.
"Okay, just come to the back yard, I’ll be playing with my trucks."
T.J. scampered up the steps and disappeared.
After everyone was comfortable and had something to drink, the boys began their strategy session.
"So Todd, have you ever heard your dad say anything racist or anti-gay?" asked Danny.
"Not that I can remember, maybe sometimes when he’s driving but it’s not really racist, it’s more like I don’t know um… is ‘goat molester’ racist or just creative?"
"Ha, that’s one I’ve not heard. It sounds more like he’s trying not to swear in front of you." Liam chuckled.
"My mom swears a lot when she drives." Darren said.
"So have you ever heard him say fag or any of those types of words?"
"He called our waiter ‘Fancy Pants,’ but he was over the top project gayway. But he doesn’t like really girly women either. My mom was really froo froo girly and it was pink ruffles on everything in the house. She took off with some guy and got pregnant. Then she wanted to come back. Dad said he didn’t think he could make that work and didn’t really want to try. I don’t think I wanted her back either."
"So when did that happen?"
"When I was eight, it’s just been Dad and me since then.
"What do you think he should do Liam?"
"Not sure, Danny, but maybe give him the benefit of the doubt. Talk to him about social issues like race and gay rights and human rights in general and get his opinions. Maybe then you’ll know what to expect?"
"Thanks guys, I know I have to tell him but losing his love or even having him hate me would be more than I could deal with."
"Um… so do you guys um… do much, um… you know, sex stuff?" Darren asked, changing the subject."
Danny and Liam looked at each other and then Liam nodded to Danny.
"Um… not much, it’s kind of new to us. I only started to get semen a month and a half ago."
"Ya fancy a bit of show and tell?" Liam asked.
"I’m up, sure." Darren answered.
"Yeah, I guess," added Todd
"What the hell," agreed Danny, but let’s go to my room. I don’t want my mom to walk in on us. She doesn’t have set hours."
"So how do we do this, like count to three and show ourselves?" asked Todd.
But Liam wasn’t having any of that; while Todd was talking, Liam was stripping, Darren noticed and joined him.
"One rule lads, no pictures so leave yer phones on the bed okay?"
"Yeah," the others agreed unanimously.
Once into it Danny and Todd stripped off quickly.
The three boys stood naked except for socks. All four were fully erect and there wasn’t all that much difference between them except for Liam’s foreskin. The tip of his glans peeked out the opening.
"We’re all about the same size, I think Todd’s is a little longer but it’s hard to tell with the rest of us," Liam observed.
"You still have your skin,” Darren pointed out to Liam. “Have you tried docking with Danny?"
"Eh, what’s docking."
Darren explained and Liam liked the sound of it. "I saw it on the web but I’ve never tried it."
"What do you guys do to get um… when you…?" Danny stammered.
"Have sex?" Darren offered.
"Yeah, sex."
Darren looked at Todd for an okay and Todd shrugged.
Before we could um… y’know cum and stuff, we just rubbed against each other in the shower with soap or conditioner. And then we tried lotion in Todds bed and that was really fantastic. Do you guys do any sucking yet?"
Liam and Danny both shook their heads negative.
"We just kind of started a month ago. Todd was laying there and I was watching his dick rise and fall as he looked at stuff on his phone. So I just slurped it in the next time it stood up and it took him like three seconds to squirt."
"We’ve only done the thing in the shower, but I want to try sucking Danny. We just haven’t had a chance. It’s been a weird week."
"So how do you do this docking thing, I mean I know what you said but how do you get started?" asked Danny
"Well okay, I’ve seen it done so just face each other and touch the tips of your dicks together. Liam you pull your skin back and I’ll spit on your dicks and then you slide the skin over Danny’s knob."
Danny was already keyed up just being naked with other boys who were erect and in a sexual mood. When he felt Liam’s skin on his glans his knees got weak for a moment and then he grasped Liam’s hand and helped him stroke back and forth. Danny erupted first with a gasp and Liam was right behind him. Liam grabbed Danny and held him, kissing him passionately.
"That was so good, I would never have thought of that." Liam almost shouted. His penis was still quite erect.
Danny’s penis wilted immediately and he loved the kissing part of the exchange. "I gotta sit down," he groaned. "Oh wow, Liam, you’re still hard as hell are you okay?"
"Yeah, I just got really turned on. We’ll be doing that again and a lot."
"Um… I know we don’t know each other real well but I’ve always wanted to try that, if Danny doesn’t mind um... would you do it with us?" Darren asked cautiously.
"I never thought of that, Danny what do you think?"
"I think it would be fun to watch, but I do the spitting this time. Come over by my bed."
Liam and Darren stood glans to glans, Danny had stored up a mouthful of saliva, and he poured it out, getting very close to the action. "That looks so cool," giggled Danny, clearly getting into it.
The second go round for Liam took longer and he lasted almost as long as Darren who was awed by the sensation and the experience of doing something he had long dreamed about.
Danny’s penis was rock hard again from watching the fun.
"Oh man, that was so good," crowed Darren. "Sucking and being sucked is better but that was great. Maybe we can do it again sometime.
Liam was at half-mast and Danny seized him and told him he had one more to go. His penis re-inflated and stood proud once again and Danny again supplied the lubricant getting a very close view of both boys hard members. Todd was a little nervous at first but Danny’s hand closed around both throbbing dicks and stroked them to climax, this time Liam outlasted Todd and Todd almost fainted from the unique sensation and perhaps the atmosphere.
"That was intense," Todd said when he had caught his breath.
"It’s something else isn’t it?" Darren asked him.
"Oh Man, maybe it was just the moment and weirdness of it but I really liked it. There’s some stuff I know about that takes more than two guys. But only if you want to experiment a little."
"We might, this was unexpected and Danny and I would have to talk first."
"Speaking of Danny, you really got into watching that happen didn’t you. Can I do something to help with your condition?" Liam asked.
"What now, in front of everybody?"
It was too late, Liam had dropped to his knees and surrounded Danny’s erection with his mouth and wrapped his arms around the tops of Danny’s thighs preventing his escape. Danny didn’t last long, he was too turned on and he erupted in Liam’s mouth in only a minute or two.
Danny stroked Liam’s hair and Liam allowed Danny’s penis to escape his mouth.
"I wondered what that might taste like; I didn’t expect an audience the first time but man, you guys really kick started us."
"I wanna do it to you too," Danny said.
"And you will Danny, but let me wash up a bit. Remember there’s three guys worth of cum in there. I’d like our first time to be just yours and mine."
"Okay, but don’t take long, my mom might be home soon."
The warning was prophetic because Terri arrived just as Liam nipped back across the hall to Danny’s room. The boys all dressed quickly and Danny grabbed his practice guitar from the corner.
Terri peeked in and said hello not recognizing the scent in the air.
"It’s really stale in here; you should open a window while it’s still warm out. Do you boys want anything to drink or a snack."
"Oh not for me ma’am Todd said smoothly, Darren and I have to start moving if we’re going to get home in time." Darren nodded enthusiastically.
Terri pulled the door shut and shook her head, thinking; Oh geez, they’re at that smelly age already.
"So let’s swap numbers and we can let you know what Todd’s dad says."
"Numbers were swapped and Todd and Darren walked quickly down Ward, they only had six blocks to go to reach Todd’s house.
"Well shit, that took a weird turn didn’t it?" Darren said.
"Yeah, but it was fun, I never thought I’d get to do that docking thing unless my cousin visited and he might not want to."
"Well thanks for letting me live out a fantasy, and they are both so cute, can you imagine what a sleepover would be like? I know you don’t want to do butt stuff yet, but man, with me inside you and someone sucking you? That would be wild."
"Hey, keep it down man, people can hear you, your voice carries."
"Oops, sorry."
