*************************************************************
The boys weren’t the only ones tired as I yawned watching them make their way out the door. Koko paused briefly at the door turning smiling at me before blowing a kiss my way looking adorably cute in his simple cottony gray gym shorts. I could just make out the small little outline of his boy lump making me smile appreciatively at his beauty before he turned shutting the door silently behind him.
As soon as the door closed I felt a small twinge of guilt recalling my earlier eavesdropping. In some ways I felt bad about it, but in other ways I had also managed to get some insights into Koko with how he was feeling about the state of affairs at the moment. He was apprehensive about the current situation, which was to be expected, but at least he seemed to be handling it well enough. Soon though, I knew we would need to sit down in order to have a heart to heart talk with one another about what was to become of him. It wasn’t something I was looking forward to, but it was necessary.
**************************************************************
It was still early in the morning when I suddenly woke up looking at the clock. I panicked for a moment before groaning when I realized I was still on vacation. Over the years I’ve been getting up so early to head into work that I simply automatically wake up anymore. Over the last several days I’ve been waking up a little later, but it was still difficult for me to sleep in too long. As I look at my clock I noticed it was early in the morning as of yet, not even six as I crawled out of bed padding my way towards the bathroom. My burgeoning bladder was protesting urging me to relieve the pressure. Between the boys’ sexual escapades from the night before, and my urgent need to pee, my excited balls were aching.
Sighing and shaking my head, I finished up with my bladder issue before stepping inside the shower stall to take care of my other aching need. I had to admit that with what happened between me and Tim, and then later seeing the two boys being intimate with one another for their first time real sexual experience with someone else, it had me all worked up with my balls aching for some sexual release. Even though I took care of my urges on a regular basis it was still a sort of wake up call reminding me how sexually tense things were between boys at that particular age.
It didn’t take me long to take care of own issues feeling clean and refreshed when I finally stepped back into my room starting up my computer. Checking my emails I smiled printing out the documents Mary had sent over to me. Looking at my watch I suppose she must have gotten up early as well even though they were ahead in time from us. Grabbing the documents I strode lightly out of my room with a bounce to my step feeling all giddy about the new contract. I always feet great after reeling in a client, and this was a very big fish indeed so I was interested in seeing what Mary had been able to work out. I paused a moment by Koko’s room sneaking a peek inside. It was a very sexy sight with the two boys spooned together completely naked with the lightweight blanket shoved off to the side. The room was a bit on the warm side feeling stuffy, not to mention it smelled a tad rank with their sex scent permeating the airless interior.
Tim was lying on his left side with his right leg stretched out and back a little forcing the boy’s body to lean backwards. Lying in this position exposed his flaccid tube which lay folded over his small patch of soft curly pubes. His sagging pouch between his wiry long legs looked large on him with his testicles hanging heavily because of not only the heat in the room, but probably because they’ve been busy filling back up to capacity overnight with more of his precious seed that he had emptied out the previous evening. The memory of his tasty essence made me smile shaking my head. I still felt a twinge of guilt over it, but in the end if Tim didn’t feel I had somehow violated him then I suppose it was alright. The entire incident had been unintentional, and he felt comfortable about it, so I allowed myself to enjoy it as a sweet moment between the two of us.
My eyes wandered over Koko’s body now which seemed so much darker in comparison to Tim’s lighter features. It appeared as if the sunny weather here in Phoenix suited the smaller boy, already giving him that dark bronze like coloration. The petite dark haired boy was crowded back up next to Tim’s torso with the older boy’s arms wrapped around the front of the smaller boy protectively. I had to giggle when I noticed Tim’s long fingers curled around Koko’s small sagging boy pouch and extremely hard erection. I could clearly see the outline of Koko’s knob as it stretched the tight membrane of his foreskin which was slightly pulled back, but still covering the boy’s acorn shaped bell.
The two boys looked so adorably sweet cuddled up together like this, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity so I headed back into my room getting out my digital camera. I snapped off a few pictures of the two of them sleeping peacefully snuggled up in a brotherly sort of fashion together. In the big scheme of things this was merely a sweet tender moment between the two boys. Even though Tim’s fingers were wrapped around Koko’s petite erection there wasn’t anything sexual about the moment so I didn’t believe there was any harm in taking the pictures.
In the back of my mind I knew that in the reality of how our society works most would view these pictures as something morally wrong between the two boys. Those same people would also view me taking the pictures as being something sexually perverse. With this in mind I returned back to my room downloading the images encrypting the files in an unobtrusive folder on an external hard drive. I had several sensitive files from work on there that were also similarly secured so I knew these images were protected from prying eyes. If anyone ever tried to open up the files it would take them a thousand years to do so. No matter what the government indicates, there are very secured means of protecting sensitive files without so called back doors and such if one knows what to use. In my line of work dealing with sensitive materials from our clients it was essential I had access to those means.
Making my way back to the boys I entered their stuffy room gently covering their naked bodies up with the lightweight blanket. I took a seat in the chair next to the bed because I simply wanted to watch them for a few minutes. There was something sweet and tender about boys when they were asleep so I wanted to enjoy the moment. It really was a bit too warm and stuffy in the room because I did keep the house a tad on the warm side. It made sense when coming inside from ninety plus degree outside temperatures, but still too warm for when going to sleep.
Smirking, I leaned over giving each of them a gentle kiss on the forehead before walking over to the thermostat. Every area in the house had their own temperature control, and I had been meaning to reset Koko’s room, but never got around to it. At seventy four degrees it was too warm to sleep at night so I adjusted the time setting to kick in at around ten at night dropping the temperature in his room down to seventy one degrees. Still warm enough for him to remain cozy without it being too stuffy. One of the few problems with the design of the house was that the bedrooms were towards the back where the main door was which lead into the interior of the main complex. This meant the bedrooms didn’t have any windows that looked outside or that could be opened up for some fresh air. Personally I didn’t mind because it kept the bedrooms darker when the lights were off, and I slept much better this way.
The lack of natural light in the bedrooms didn’t seem to affect me since the rest of the space inside the house was very open. The large huge windows panes along the one side allowed for plenty of sunlight to spill inside the interior of my home with a breathtaking view of the garden space and desert expanse beyond. The garden area had small leafy tree’s spread around strategically to offer up enough shading not only while you were outside, but also so that the house wouldn’t overheat from direct sunlight spilling through the large windows. Plenty of natural light still filtered into the open design though giving the entire space inside the home a bright airy sort of feel to it.
The outside area on the garden roof really was spectacular not to mention spacious. I’ve held plenty of functions outside in the garden never feeling cramped. Even when I set up tables around it easily accommodated a nice sized party of about seventy five people without it coming off as overcrowded. Then if I included the open like space inside my house, a party with a hundred or so people was an easy enough thing to accommodate. As a matter of fact over the last couple of years I’ve been hosting our firm’s Christmas party. Between the spacious open garden courtyard and the open design inside the house it was easy enough to host the staff members along with their families.
During the summer I also hosted a small party for personal friends and their families to celebrate the Fourth of July. This was a more intimate gathering with my closest friends usually numbering around forty to fifty people in all. With the pool it allowed the kids to cool off and have fun, while the adults lounged around in the shaded areas of the garden or inside the house. Since it was much warmer in July I always set up these huge fans in strategic positions around the garden area creating a cool breeze. Between the shade created by the trees and shrubbery, and the cool water from the pool area and fountains, the large fans were able to create a breeze allowing me to keep the temperature in the garden area outside in the mid seventies making it a comfortable experience for my guest.
Even my brother showed up for the party bringing his wife and two daughters with them. It was strange, but even though we lived relatively close together we seldom ever saw one another, maybe once or twice a year. They only lived about forty five minutes away, but I suppose it was far enough to limit their visits. Besides, he had his life to lead with his own family keeping them constantly busy and on the go. My own work always seemed to keep me occupied as well, so I guess we both sort of got on with our own lives. In a way it seemed strange that we both ended up in the same location, but my brother had settled down here first and seemed happy. When I had finished college he had suggested I check out the region because it was a nice place to settle down. It seemed like fate when one of the firms here in Phoenix was recruiting potential people at my college. I took the job offer never looking back as I settled into my new life actually thriving loving every moment of it.
The warmer climate here suited me. I never did get used to the colder weather when we had moved to Illinois always regretting the winter months over there. Not to mention the heat was different over there as well. It was very humid during the summer months, and as soon as you walked out the door you were plastered with sweat inside your clothes. Even though it got hot in Phoenix it was a different kind of heat. I hated Illinois because it was either always too hot or too cold. That isn’t to say I didn’t have good times there or anything, it was merely somewhere I’d never settle down with a family of my own.
There I go again thinking of family as I make my way over towards the kitchen setting down the stack of documents on the counter before turning my attention to brewing a fresh pot of coffee. With Koko all of a sudden popping into my life it has really made me start to think about what it means to create a life of my very own starting a family. Of course my family would be a bit unconventional if I decide to go through with the fertility clinic. I’ve been fiddling with the idea on and off for a couple of years now so everything was already pretty much in place, ready to go if I ever decide to follow through on the decision.
Shaking my head from these silly thoughts I sat down with a cup of fresh coffee as I began the arduous task of sifting through some of the paperwork Mary had sent me. Once more I shove the whole baby thing out of my mind convincing myself that there was simply too much going on in my life to even contemplate bringing a new life into this world. I was a single man without a partner, so it wouldn’t be fair to the child.
It was calm throughout the house as I settled in, shuffling through the paperwork pleased with what I was reading. Mary had done a bang up job with the contract and agreement just like I knew she would. It was an equitable arrangement for both sides. Reaching over for my coffee the stillness was all of a sudden broken with Tim’s surprised raspy voice.
“What the fuck…,” I hear his husky voice barking out before it once more gets quiet as I realize the cup of coffee was still suspended in midair a few inches away from my lips.
I’m tempted to get up so I could check on the boys, but a hushed stillness settles around once more as I cock my head listening for any sound indicating the boys needed me. All I could hear was a bit of rustling noise coming from their room as I began to focus once more on the paperwork in front of me. Tim must have woken up or something, and now I imagined the boys were probably slowly getting up. More than likely they would be needing to take a piss here in short order. I don’t know why it is that way for us guys, but it always seems like first thing in the morning we end up rock hard needing to empty out our bladders.
Once more I focused my attention to the task at hand when Tim’s voice carried through the house with a sense of urgency. “Shit…oh…oh…Koko…I…I…shit,” I heard him gasp out loud making me perk right up.
All of a sudden there was a fairly noticeable thumping noise followed with Tim’s voice gasping out. “Uuuumph, uuumph, uuumph, aaaaaahhhhhh, shiiiii, umph, umph.”
It didn’t take a rocket science to realize what had just happened as once more a silence seemed to settle down around me sitting there in the kitchen with my cup of coffee held suspended in the air for the second time. I had completely forgotten about the black liquid substance as I tried to stifle my laughter. Evidently Koko was true to his word, and must have given Tim something nice to wake up to.
Now as I sat there listening the silence seemed to drag on forever, but I knew it had been only a few seconds. “Oh shit Koko…I…um…I can’t believe you fucking did that.” Tim sighed in a quieter voice, but it still carried out to me in the kitchen because I had left their door slightly open just the way they had left it overnight.
“Do you always squirt that much.” I heard Koko’s higher pitched voice as he giggled.
“I’m not sure…I mean…with as good as that felt I suppose I probably squirted more than usual…but for real Koko did you swallow all of it?” Tim asked seemingly surprised.
“Yeah, for a second I didn’t know if I would be able to because it all seemed to come out at once. Besides, with that big curved monster of yours it wasn’t as if I had much of a choice. When you pressed the back of my head I thought I was going to choke.” Koko admitted as both boys giggled.
“Um…yeah…well sorry about that but waking up with your mouth doing that to my…um…well it just sort of caught me by surprise is all…I couldn’t control myself. Do you really think I’m that big down there…I mean I’ve always thought it was kind of on the thin side.” I heard Tim comment as both boys seemed to fall silent for a moment as if they were scrutinizing Tim’s endowment before I heard the older boy pick up the conversation where he had left off, “and do you think my cock really bends a lot?” Tim finished his voice sounding curious.
Koko was giggling now taking him a moment to reply. “I guess it’s pretty big…I mean it’s not like I see a lot of other boys…um…you know…hard. I mean it looks nice on you, and doesn’t seem all that thin to me.” There was a pause before the smaller boy spoke up again. “Tim…why does your thingy…um…you know have that curve in it? I mean it isn’t like it bends a lot or anything…just that it sort of looks kind of wicked…you know…in a cool kind of way. Sort of like a banana, but not as bowed.” The smaller boy finished as he giggled giddily at his analogy of Tim’s penis looking like a banana.
“Uh…I’m not sure why it curves downwards like that when it gets hard. It’s simply always been like that, but it doesn’t hurt or anything so I’ve never really thought all that much about it.” He replied as it once more got quiet for a few moments.
“I smell coffee.” I heard Koko state curiously.
“Oh fuck…Uncle Tim must be up…um…you don’t think he heard us…you know?” Tim seemed to ask.
“Probably,” Koko responded giggling. “I mean our door is open so it wouldn’t surprise me at all because of how loud you got when you sort of popped your cork.” The smaller boy was laughing hard now at Tim’s expense.
“Shit…why did we leave the door open?” He asked not really expecting an answer. “Besides, if I recall…you weren’t any quieter last night. Now that I’m thinking about it you really squirmed and squealed a lot more than I did.” Tim pointed out as both boys lowered their voices now realizing that they were being a bit noisy. “Come-on…we might as well get up, besides I’ve got to take a piss real bad.” I heard the older boy comment with Koko giggling at something.
“What’s so damn funny now?” Tim asked innocently.
“Nothing…just that you are ‘banana’ hard again.” He teased.
“Yeah…well I’ve got to take a piss real bad, besides it looks like you need to go too. I hate having to pee so bad first thing in the morning. Anymore it gets a bit embarrassing when my mom comes in to wake me up because I’m always boned up first thing in the morning.”
“Geeze, no way. You mean she sees you naked all hard and stuff?” Koko asked.
“No of course not you silly nit. I’m usually under the covers…but still if I’m on my back when she wakes me up…well you know.” He finished off.
“Oh…yeah…I suppose it could be a bit embarrassing. I mean my daddy has seen me when I’ve been hard and naked, but it never really bothered me all that much.” He admitted pausing for a moment as if a thought just occurred to him. “Though, I suppose it’s different if a mom sees you like that.” Koko admitted.
“Never really thought about a dad seeing his kid boned up. I think it would still be embarrassing, but I guess not as bad. I mean…Uncle Will has seen me like that and I didn’t feel all that ashamed about it to be honest…so I guess it must be a little different I suppose. Still though the way some of my friends talk they are embarrassed about it with their dad’s too…so I don’t know.” Tim admitted.
After that I heard the boys scurrying around a bit as they got dressed before heading into the bathroom. A few minutes later Tim came sauntering out into the room shirtless, wearing only a pair of red C9 champion basketball shorts that seemed to cling around his body accentuating his decent sized boy bits. I couldn’t help but watch him as he walked over to me because he really did have a nice body.
“Good morning Uncle Will.” Tim smiled walking over giving me a quick hug wrapping his arm around me before sitting on my lap. “Whatcha reading?” He asked as I returned his embrace giving him a quick peck on the cheek which he didn’t seem to mind.
His breath smelled like mint so I knew he must have just brushed his teeth, while his body felt soft and warm in my arms. Another odor seemed to envelop us now as well. It was a thick musky boy odor intermingled with the heavy scent of sex exuding from his pores. It was very titillating, and I had to admit it turned me on as my own small member between my legs began to stir awake.
“Um…oh…this…well I guess you could say it is your future.” I told him smoothly watching as his eyebrow arched questioningly at my comment making me chuckle. “It’s the contract from our new client, which means the first installment in your college trust fund. A few more really big accounts like this and your future will be set, but we have a few years still to work on it. Between little accounts we will accumulate, and then the few larger accounts added to it, I think you will end up just fine when the time comes for you to head off to college.” I added as he smiled nodding his head.
“That’s like way cool. I still can’t believe it you know? I mean I always knew I’d go to college, but just never knew how I’d be able to afford it. I really mean it when I say thank you Uncle Will. This really means the world to both me and my mom.” He whispered leaning in giving me a kiss on the cheek making my insides churn wildly as the sense of love spread throughout my body intermingled slightly with a tinge of lust for the younger boy.
“Hey Uncle Will…what’s going on?” We heard Koko asking as he came up to us wearing his pajama bottom looking just as sexy as Tim had when he entered the room.
Like his older friend he was shirtless wearing only his old pair of short white pajama bottoms with small colorful cartoon images. I recognized some of the super hero images that appeared haphazardly in no particular order on the flimsy material. The white soft cottony fabric clung to him outlining his small petite boy package making me smile at all the eye candy the two younger boys were providing me. It made me feel like a little kid again as the smaller boy leaned in giving me a big hug and peck on the cheek.
“Good morning sport.” I told the younger boy as I returned his embrace noticing the same sort of heavy musky sexy boy scent emanating from him as well. “Nothing…we were merely discussing Tim’s future plans for college. Anyway, maybe the two of you should go hop in the shower real quick.” I chuckled shaking my heads as I crinkled my nose.
“You two smell a bit ripe from all of your guys’…um…let’s just say from all the extra curricular activity you two participated in this morning and last night.” I stated as both boys simply stared at me in shock for a moment looking a bit edgy.
“Oh…um…so you…uh…heard us?” Koko whispered biting his lower lip nervously while glancing sideways at Tim before looking down a bit embarrassed and ashamed about it. “You…um…I mean…your not…uh…mad at us…you know…for…?” Koko began shifting timidly back and forth on the balls of his feet afraid I might be upset.
Sighing I reached over pulling the little boy into my arms hugging him gently while running my hand up and down his back affectionately. “Koko…don’t worry so much all the time. I’m not upset or anything about what you two did together. You have nothing to be ashamed about, but I wouldn’t go around telling others about it either, understand?” I asked him as he nodded his head.
“What happened between you and Tim is something private which should remain between the two of you. Anyway, why don’t you both go hop in the shower to wash off the sex stink from your bodies.” I teased making Koko giggle at how I was being so open about it all. “We can talk some more about it later…if you want, alright?” I commented with both boys agreeing.
“Yeah…I suppose you’re right. It was pretty warm in the room so we did work up a sweat.” Tim chuckled getting up off my lap.
“That’s true Uncle Will. It gets pretty hot in the room at night.” Koko complained a little before blushing and looking down. “I…I’m sorry Uncle Will…really…I didn’t mean anything by it.
“I know Koko, and I really wish you would stop trying to be so perfect all the time. If you have something to say just say it from now on.” I sighed as Koko leaned in giving me another hug relieved that I wasn’t mad or anything.
I knew this new setting must be awkward for the smaller boy as he tried figuring out where he stands with things, but I didn’t want him to feel like he couldn’t speak up. “It will be cooler in your room tonight Koko…I promise. I should have adjusted the thermostat for you sooner.” I informed him as he nodded his head. “And Koko…I really mean it when I say from now on don’t hesitate to speak up…alright?” I asked him as he nodded his head before turning with Tim wrapping his arms around the smaller boy while they headed towards the bathroom to get cleaned up.
Just before they disappeared around the corner I yelled out at them. “Oh…and be sure to clean ‘all’ your little nooks and crannies too.” I teased the boys as they gaped for a moment a bit stunned before rolling their eyes giggling at me for being so forward.
Sitting there for a moment while looking down at the paperwork I sighed having enjoyed the brief respite with the two boys. They were both simply too adorably sweet. I just couldn’t believe that I had been just like them not all that long ago. It made me yearn for those wonderful youthful days. I had been a late bloomer in many ways, but I nevertheless had a wonderful childhood. When things finally had begun to happen for me sexually it had been something to cherish and remember always.
Putting away the paperwork I paused for a moment realizing that once again I wasn’t sure if the boys had any towels. Heading over to the linen closet just outside the bathroom I pulled out a couple of towels before knocking on the door. There was a short pause before I heard Tim’s voice.
“Um…yeah.” He yelled out.
“Hey guys do you have any towels?” I asked through the door this time being more careful about not barging in on someone.
“Uh…just one on the towel rack Uncle Will.” Tim replied. “It’s alright for you to come in to give us fresh ones.” He finished up.
Opening up the door I stepped inside the bathroom where the vapors from the warm water was already steaming up the small space. I walked over to the toilet next to the glass shower door setting them on top of the closed lid. Glancing over I noticed Tim was on his knees in front of Koko with the smaller boy’s small erection pointing right at his face. It didn’t take much to figure out the two of them were at it again as I shook my head at how they weren’t even afraid of me seeing what they were up to.
“Geeze for real Tim. I said to wash off the sex stink not to go polishing Koko’s silverware.” I chuckled at the boys.
“Awe, but I like Koko’s silverware. Besides, I have to repay him for the sweet way he woke me up this morning.” Tim teased back making Koko giggle while I rolled my eyes at the two of them before leaving them alone to finish up without any more interruptions.
As I made my way into the kitchen I began to wonder if being so receptive about the two boys being sexually involved really was the right thing to do. I suppose it was alright for the boys to fool around and all, but I don’t think I wanted them to get too intimate like this. I mean I guess I was pretty sexually active at that age too, well at least once things began, but still this somehow seemed different. For one thing I still didn’t know what was going to happen with Koko, and Tim seemed more interested in girls these days.
I’m sure the older boy enjoyed the incident with Koko, but past experiences has taught me that once boys tend to become focused on girls that their sexual interaction with other boys sort of dwindled. I was sure the same would hold true for Tim, and where would that leave Koko. I didn’t want the smaller boy having to face that on top of everything else he was currently dealing with in his life.
Now as I sat back watching the boys finish up the last of my famous stuffed French toast sandwiches I had to smile enjoying the way the two boys seemed to interact with one another. They joked around easily obviously happy with each other company. Koko seemed so happy glowing from the inside out eating with a healthy appetite. It didn’t surprise me considering he had probably worked up a big appetite after Tim got done with him.
“That was totally wickedly tasty Uncle Will.” Koko paused long enough to tell me with his mouth stuffed full of the tasty meal. “What do you call this again?” He asked making me smile.
“Well…there isn’t an official name for it or anything. I just call it stuffed French toast. Basically you can put anything inside the two slices of bread before dipping it in an egg batter. Personally I like putting peanut butter and jam inside, but some people like cream cheese and jam, or even fruit before they dip it in an egg batter frying it up like regular French toast.” I explained appreciating the fact that the two boys enjoyed the meal.
“This really is good Uncle Will, but if I continue to eat like this all the time I’ll get fat.” Koko replied smiling at me. “I suppose it’s alright sometimes, but I was wondering…,” he trailed off not finishing making me scrunch up my eyebrows.
“You were wondering what Koko?” I asked him as he blushed.
“Well…um…it’s just I’m not used to eating so much rich food. You know with my gymnastics and all. Daddy used to make sure I ate a little healthier. I mean we ate normal stuff and all, but also more organic stuff because daddy said all the hormones and everything they put into food here in the states is not healthy. Over in Europe they don’t allow that kind of stuff in their meats and all, so it wasn’t a big issue. Still…I…uh…was wondering if it would be alright if we got more healthy stuff to eat…you know…maybe with the meat and stuff have it be organic?” He asked me a bit shyly.
“So…what you are saying is I need to stop feeding you my tasty stuffed French toast.” I replied with a straight face while I watched his reaction.
“No…I mean…uh…I didn’t mean anything bad by it Uncle Will. Just that I need to be more careful so that I don’t get out of shape for when I get a chance to go back to my gymnastics again…you know…sometime when things finally get settled. I mean…I hope I will get to continue with it. Daddy told me I had the talent with a body build for it, so would probably do pretty good in the sport.” He replied looking down a bit sadly making me realize that he was missing his sport activity. “Besides, daddy said it isn’t a bad thing to eat these other kinds of things…just not all the time.” Koko added at the end making me smile.
“I was only teasing you sport, and I’m sure you will get to continue with your gymnastics. As for the other thing I knew what you meant. I think your suggestion is a good idea…you know about eating healthier. Do you think you can help me with shopping for those kinds of food items…you know the organic stuff. I used to play sports too so know how important eating properly is when we train to compete.” I replied as he looked up nodding his head that he’d be more than happy to help out.
“See…I told you that he really did mean it when he told you that it is important to speak up about things.” Tim told the younger boy who blushed nodding his head.
“Talking about speaking up and about things getting settled for Koko, I think the three of us need to discuss what is going on between the two of you.” I began as both boys looked at me, then each other, their faces getting a concerned look on them.
“Don’t worry; I don’t mind what happened between you two. I merely want to talk about taking things more slowly from here on out because like Koko mentioned things are still a bit up in the air regarding him. It concerns me is all that someone could get hurt.” I pointed out noticing how Tim was furling his eyebrows at me while the smaller boy looked down nervously at his plate.
It was Tim who spoke up. “I don’t understand Uncle Will. I mean it’s not like we are probably going to do this again. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed what happened between me and Koko, but you know I’m into girls. This was something that…uh…you know…sort of happened. It was really sweet and all, but Koko is more like a brother to me than…you know.” Tim pointed out a bit baffled.
“I mean for real Uncle Will…I…um…really care about Koko…a lot…but we even talked about it last night with each other, and agree that we are more like brothers than anything else. Right Koko?” He asked turning his attention to the younger boy who all of a sudden gazed up looking a bit out of it for a split second.
It was as if he had been somewhere else deep in thought. “What…oh…yeah that’s true. We talked about it last night.” Koko admitted as he smiled bravely.
It seemed as if he was holding something back, but I didn’t want to press him about it right now. I got the distinct feeling he was more hurt by this than he was letting on making me realize my instincts from the beginning was dead on. To Tim this had been just a wonderful shared experience of something that had simply happened; whereas, with Koko it seemed a bit deeper. I knew Koko was hurting, but in a way it was better to take care of this issue now versus him getting really hurt by finding out later.
“Um…besides…,” Tim continued looking a bit nervous now as he glanced sideways at Koko as if he was ashamed about something. “I…um…well…I kind of have a girlfriend now.” He finished off his face flushing as he blushed at the admission. “I mean…Uncle Will…you know…I sort of told you about this girl…well…um…after we talked and I got home…well…I sort of called her up…and…you know?” He shrugged his shoulders while I smiled happy for the older boy.
“That’s really great Tim…your first girlfriend and all.” I told him sincerely, but noticing a hurt expression on Koko’s features for a moment before he seemed to compose himself smiling as well.
“Yeah…um…great Tim…but girls…yuk.” Koko added seriously as Tim and I looked at one another before cracking up laughing at the innocent comment while the smaller boy looked at us wondering what was so funny.
“Well…believe me Koko…you will think a little differently in a year or two. I mean I felt the same way about girls up until a couple of months ago and then…bam…it just sort of happened…you know. I guess all of a sudden for me I just looked at them differently. Most of my other friends have been into girls for a while now, so I guess I’m a bit of a late bloomer in that area of things. Please don’t be mad at me Koko because…um…you know…the two of us…it really was special for me…you know.” Tim whispered glancing my way blushing at how he was talking about something so intimate between him and Koko in front of me.
The smaller boy looked hurt, but seemed to conceal it well enough as he nodded at Tim. “I know…besides, like we talked about last night…you know…like brothers.” Koko whispered making Tim feel better about what had happened between the two of them as a sort of silence settled around the table for a few moments.
“Um…Uncle Will?” Tim spoke up breaking the awkwardness of the moment.
“Yeah?” I mumbled feeling bad for Koko at what he must be feeling at the moment.
“Do you think it would be alright for me to head home? I mean our house is kind of a mess…you know…with everything going on lately. Mom’s been working longer hours since you are on vacation.” He stated and added really quickly, “I mean she doesn’t mind and all…just that I thought it would be nice if I got the house all cleaned up for her before she came home today.” He finished off wanting to do something nice for his mom.
“Oh…yeah sure I don’t see why not. I’ll give you a ride home.” I offered as he shook his head.
“Nah…it’s alright…I’ll just take the bus like I always do.” He stated getting up embracing me warmly before heading to the room so he could change.
Koko hesitated a moment before getting up too giving me a quick hug following Tim into the room. I could hear the two boys talking softly in private for a while before the older boy came sauntering out dressed in a pair of jean shorts, and a blue jersey shirt with the Nike swoosh logo across his chest. I had to admit he really was looking sexier these days with a sort of air about him lately which exuded a kind of confidence. I knew it wasn’t because of his first excursion of a true sexual interaction with another person, but rather it was almost as if he was finally coming to terms with who he was going to grow up to be someday. I suppose he was at that point in time during his teenage years where he was finally finding his place in the world. Of course there would still be bumps in the road along the way, but he was finally figuring out where he sort of belonged in the bigger scheme of things. It made me proud to see him getting comfortable with the next chapter in his life.
Tim gave me another warm hug with me promising to bring his things over when I picked up his mom at the airport later. This way he wouldn’t have to drag it with him on the bus. When the older boy turned towards Koko, the smaller boy literally leapt into his arms holding him tight. It surprised the older boy at first as he glanced towards me before he leaned over giving his little friend a gentle kiss on the top of his head.
“I love you little man…and that will never change…I promise.” Tim whispered softly as Koko looked up nodding his head.
“Promise for real?” Koko whispered back as Tim grinned at the smaller boy nodding his head.
“I promise for real Koko…that won’t ever change. No matter what else happens…we will always be like brothers…closer even…just like we talked about last night, and just now in the room. Alright?” He asked his little partner who nodded his head, let go, and wiping away the tears with the back of his hand ran into his room.
Tim looked up at me a bit baffled. “I…um…I’m real sorry Uncle Will. I didn’t realize how…you know…that Koko would be so upset about what happened. I mean…for real Uncle Will…it was very special…and maybe if things would have happened sooner it would be different…but…I…,” Tim shook his head sadly at me while I pulled him into my embrace gently rubbing his back.
“It’s alright Tim. Occasionally timing just sucks…but you can’t look at it that way. What the two of you shared together was something beautiful so don’t let that moment become something bad between you two. Like most boys…your heart has moved on in a different direction. I can see how much you really do love Koko…but your love for him is different than what he is feeling for you. Don’t worry Tim…he understands and doesn’t hate you. It just hurts him is all. He’s been going through a tough time lately…but he cares for you deeply Tim. That won’t ever change so don’t feel bad about what happened. Koko will deal with it in his own way, and the two of you will move on from here. Just be a little patient.” I whispered to the older boy my heart breaking for both him and Koko.
After Tim left I was tempted to go into Koko’s room, but decided to leave him alone for now. Instead I cleaned up the dishes from breakfast before heading into my own room flipping on the computer to get some work done. It seemed like I had just begun working on the paperwork regarding the new contract when I looked up at the clock realizing a couple of hours had slipped away. I hadn’t heard anything from Koko as I turned off the computer so I could go check up on the smaller boy.
Peaking inside his room I knocked lightly on the open door. “Hey Uncle Will.” Koko looked up from his bed.
He was laying back on his bed watching a show on the television set. He was still in his pajama bottoms trying to give me a smile as I sat down next to him on the bed.
“Hey little man…how are you doing?” I asked as he shrugged his shoulders. Sighing, I leaned back next to him on the bed putting my arm around his shoulder pulling him towards me. “I’m so sorry Koko.” I hugged him to me while he merely looked up, smiled, and nodded his head.
“Daddy told me that some day this could happen…you know…fall in love, but it not working out.” He sniffled a little trying bravely not to cry as he curled up in my arms. “It sort of happened to him too…you know…with the first boy he fell in love with, but then after about a year it sort of worked out differently for him. I suppose it will for me too.” He smiled meekly at me as he cuddled up laying his head on my chest getting more comfortable. “Don’t worry Uncle Will I’ll be alright…I mean…Tim will still be around and all…that’s more than how it was for my daddy.” He told me cryptically as I nodded my head knowing full well what had happened, but listened anyway as he told me all about it.
Even though I knew what had happened it was still nice to simply listen to him talk about his dad. It made me smile knowing the two of them had such a close connection. I suppose our experiences together as kids were in a way touching Koko’s own life now too as he made his way through the trials and tribulations of boyhood. We talked for a long time together, and it somehow felt natural for me to hold him in my arms in a loving caring way.
After a while we both fell silent as a sort of somber mood enveloped both of us. “Sounds like your daddy was a wonderful man.” I whispered softly to him as I ran my hand up and down his arm.
“Yeah…he was and I miss him…but…,” He began before getting silent making me look down at him.
“But what?” I pressed.
“Nothing…just that even though he’s gone…he really isn’t…you know what I mean?” He replied smiling up at me as I nodded my head.
“I suppose…so what do you think he’d tell you now?” I asked Koko who shrugged his shoulders.
“Probably tell me to stop moping about.” He responded easily making me smile as I reacted in my own way when I all of a sudden attacked tickling him all over.
It surprised me how he immediately perked up. When my hands began harassing him from all angles I began to notice how he had the same exact tickle spots as his dad while he squirmed and screamed. He was laughing so hard that it didn’t surprise me when he popped an erection. Without thinking I reached down and in one smooth motion tugged his pajama bottoms off of him leaving him lying on his back completely naked and giggling without a care in the world.
We settled down with him chuckling looking up at me his brown puppy dog eyes sparkling with mirth. “Um…oops…sorry…,” I chuckled a bit embarrassed about stripping him naked like that, but he didn’t seem to mind as he tugged subconsciously on his hard one and a half inch erection shrugging his shoulders.
He sat up gazing down between his legs at his little boy erection pulling back the foreskin briefly to take a look at his slicked up knob while I watched still amazed at how tight it looked on him. “I guess this means I should get up and dressed.” Koko laughed as he let the skin slip back over his knob before scooting off to the side of the bed.
My eyes scrutinized his lithe sleek athletic body closely as he got up heading towards his dresser drawer. I had to smile as I watched him glide across the floor with a smooth cat like gate. Getting up myself I walked up behind him wrapping my arms around his naked body shivering at the intermingled light soapy musky boy scent wafting up to my nose reminding me of how his father had smelled at his age.
“You amaze me Koko.” I whispered softly in his ear as he leaned back into my arms. “I just wanted you to know that.” I told him softly as my fingers ran lightly down his chest towards his stomach dipping down a bit too low because my hand brushed up against his hard erection making him twitch a second at the innocent contact.
The incidental touch wasn’t in a sexual way or anything, but I could feel his hard erection brushing up against the back of my hand briefly. I heard him giggling and I simply couldn’t resist as I gave him a quick grope squeezing his little boy baubles in a playful way. I quickly released the teasing grope having the intended effect of making him jump and yelp in surprise before he began giggling happily not in the least bit concerned about it.
To be honest it made me wonder if his own dad goofed around with him like this. The two of us sure did plenty of times. Sure we were sexually involved with one another, but there were plenty of times when we goofed around playfully like this without it being a sexual thing in nature. From the sounds of things it appeared as if there were plenty of these sorts of displays between father and son as well. Koko settled down placing his hands on top of my arms as he pressed them tightly forcing me give him a big hug as I leaned down kissing the top of his head before releasing him. Ruffling his hair the smaller boy simply turned around before reaching around my waist with his arms giving me a warm heartfelt hug.
“Thanks Uncle Will…that means a lot to me.” He smirked looking up at me before stepping back and releasing me not in the least bit ashamed about the display of affection between the two of us here in private.
Leaving Koko alone to get dressed I walked out into the kitchen. A few moments later he came sauntering into the kitchen looking a lot more perky, and most definitely cute as the dickens dressed in a pair of royal blue colored plaid shorts with red accents. He had slipped on a matching royal blue colored short sleeved athletic type of shirt that was perfect for the warmer weather. He looked so adorably sweet, and I had to admit I liked how blue looked on him complimenting his darker features. I smiled at him ruffling his hair as he helped me with lunch. We cleaned up afterwards heading out the door to the airport.
We picked up Mary at the airport and were making our way towards her house when she looked back at Koko and smiled. “Hey kido…I hope Tim took good care of you?” She asked to get a conversation going.
“Oh sure…he took reeeally good care of me like I was a part of him.” Koko giggled while I nearly chocked knowing exactly what the boy was referring to.
Mary looked at me a bit funny while I tried to change the subject. “Um…well I looked over the contract Mary and I already sent it off to the office. You did a really good job with it, and I didn’t see any objections so I’m sure it will all be squared away here in short order. It will also mean a good start with Tim’s scholarship fund.” I told her as she smiled at me a bit reassured about the news.
“That’s a relief Will. I was a bit worried about it, not to mention still stunned how you simply left me there to hash out the deal.” She admitted to me while I looked at her scrunching up my eyebrows.
“Listen Mary…you are more than able to take care of these types of things. We make a good team. Just because you don’t have a degree or anything doesn’t mean you can’t get the job done. I want to start getting you more involved like this…that is if you feel comfortable enough with it?” I asked her as she looked back at me.
“Yeah…sure I guess Will…I mean if you trust me and all.” She responded seemingly happy with the development.
“Um…that reminds me Mary. I wanted to talk to you about Tim. I mean…after this week I am going back to work, but I can’t leave Koko alone at home. Let’s face it he’s sort of at that age where he doesn’t need supervision, but legally I have to make sure someone responsible is over just in case. Tim is legal age wise to supervise Koko during the day.” I stated trying to make sure I didn’t make Koko think he couldn’t take care of himself as I glanced in the rearview mirror noticing how he had become attentive at the direction of the conversation.
“I was thinking that since I usually go to work early that you can drop Tim off at the house before coming in at your usual time. I’d be willing to pay Tim to stay with Koko during the day making sure to be back in time before he has to go to Lacrosse practice, or at least be there shortly after he leaves. I’m sure he’d love to make some extra pocket money over the summer, and I’m sure Koko would like to have someone to hang out with. What do you think?” I asked her seeing Koko in my rear view mirror sort of perk up at the idea of Tim staying with him when I went back to work.
It got a little quiet for a few moments as Mary digested the information. I could tell she was mulling it over in her mind so didn’t want to interfere with her reasoning one way or the other. I was fairly certain she wouldn’t object, yet also knew for her it was another stepping stone of her son growing up and being more responsible.
Finally it appeared as if she had come to a decision as she nodded her head looking at me. “Sure Will…actually I think it would be great for him. Other than Lacrosse he usually doesn’t have much else to do. I mean sometimes he hangs out with some of his friends and all, but to be honest I think he’s bored most of the time. At least over by you there is the community center and other places for kids to hang out, not to mention the pool. He loves to swim.” She responded sounding happy with the arrangement.
“Good then it’s settled…other than the fact we just need to tell him no girlfriends at the house when no one is around.” I chuckled getting a glare from Mary as her jaw dropped to her chest.
“What…I mean why…um…when did all of this happen?” She finally managed to get out while I laughed.
“It’s no laughing matter young man.” Mary huffed, but smiled shaking her head. “Just wait until you have a family of your own.” She teased making me smile.
“Listen Mary I’m simply letting you know because I figure Tim is probably having a tough time trying to find a way to tell you is all. You know how it is…I mean…boys and moms…with this sort of girlfriends stuff. To be honest I was kind of surprised he told me…but you know?” I shrugged my shoulder as she grinned at me before reaching out patting the back of my hand in a kind gesture.
“No…I understand Will, and to be honest I’m glad he is able to confide in you with this sort of thing. Don’t worry I won’t make a big deal of it, but I’ll let him know you mentioned girls being off limits at the house while you are gone.” She chuckled shaking her head before sighing. “They grow up so fast Will. I don’t know where the time goes, but soon he will be off to college, then maybe marriage and kids of his own.”
“Yeah…well you should be proud Mary because he’s growing up into a fine young man all because of you.” I assured her looking in the rear view mirror noticing Koko listening to the exchange, but remaining quiet.
By the time Koko and I got back home after dropping off Mary, and visiting for a few minutes, it was early afternoon. Tim’s mom was surprised to find her house all clean and tidied up making sure to let her son know how thankful she was for him being so thoughtful. We talked for a few minutes with Tim getting excited about coming over and hanging out with Koko when I returned to work. In short order we had all the details worked out with him blushing at the mention of no girls allowed at the house while he was alone.
Walking through our front door I set down the keys on the countertop noticing some movement outside in the garden couryard. It was Arty puttering around a bit tidying up, but looking a bit down in the dumps as well. Koko followed me out onto the patio area, and Arturo gazed up nodding his head in greeting.
“Hey Mr. Will, I thought I’d come over to check over the garden in case anything needs to be taken care of.” He stated stopping what he was doing to wipe away the sweat from his brow before giving Koko a knuckle bump by way of greeting.
Arturo had stripped off his shirt, and his body glistened damply from perspiration. He had such a nice tanned firm body, and I noticed Koko checking him out more closely. I tried not to laugh when I saw him reach down subconsciously adjusting himself while he checked out the older boy’s sleek firm body. It wouldn’t surprise me if Koko’s nether regions were beginning to tingle because mine sure was at the sexy boy standing in front of us. I suppose the younger boy was getting over Tim rather quickly now that Arturo was standing there looking cute in a pair of red silky like athletic shorts that we had brought back for him the other day. A small breeze rippled across the open courtyard pressing the silken fabric against Arty’s legs accentuating the young boy’s bulge.
“No problem Arty. I have to say you’ve been doing a bang up job out here. I know your dad would have been proud of you. I know your mom is you know. She wanted me to keep her informed of your work telling me she’s very happy that you’ve been taking such good care of it Arturo, and I’m very proud of you as well.” I told him while he smiled standing up a bit straighter proud of the compliment.
“Thanks Mr. Will. It makes me happy when I’m up here. You know papa used to come up here all the time when he was feeling a bit in the dumps, and now I know why.” He sighed as he looked around at the garden his gaze finally settling on the open space in the distance.
“It’s nice and quiet up here…and just…I don’t know…kind of special. Sometimes when I work I can sort of hear papa…you know…not for real…but just what he would say if he were around. It makes me happy to know I can come somewhere when I need to get away and think.” The boy stated turning towards us blushing when he realized he had said too much.
“It makes me happy too Arty…but is something wrong? I mean…it looks like something is bothering you.” I asked him a bit concerned now as he tried to wave it off. “Come on Arty…you can tell us if something is bothering you. I’m sure Koko won’t say anything to anyone. You know the two of you share a lot of things in common so if there is anyone who can understand how you are feeling about your dad he sure enough can.” I added motioning for Arturo to take a seat in the shade.
He hesitated a moment before nodding his head taking a seat while Koko and I joined him. “It’s really not about my dad Mr. Will…just that mom is kind of upset and beside herself not knowing what to do.” He began while Koko and I looked at each other completely lost. “You haven’t heard?” Arty asked us noticing our confused look. “Oh…I guess you probably wouldn’t have heard yet since you’ve been gone and the community center is a few blocks away from here.” He sighed shaking his head making me curious now.
“What happened Arty?” Koko asked seemingly concerned for his friend.
“Um…well you know we are celebrating my sister’s Quinceanera on Saturday.” He began noticing Koko’s confusion. “Um…I guess you don’t know what that is do you?” He asked the smaller boy who shook his head no, but encouraged his friend to tell him.
“The quinceanera is one of the most important celebrations in a Mexican culture. It’s a ceremony held on a girl’s fifteenth birthday to mark her passage to womanhood, to give thanks to God for his blessings, and to present a young woman to the community. I guess you can think of the festival as a sort of combined “sweet sixteen” birthday party, and a coming out ball for debutantes…you know those high society types of girls.
In Mexican communities, the quinceanera serves not only to honor the young woman for her maturity, but also the girl’s parents and family, as well as her padrinos or godparents. The godparents, and her mother and father play important roles throughout the ceremonies. Most societies have rituals signifying a passage to adulthood for both women and men, but the quinceanera is very distinctive. Back in the old days a girl’s fifteenth birthday would mean that she was an active, adult member of the community, fully ready to take on her share of responsibilities, and indicated that she was of marriageable age and status. Any more though the tradition is a bit different now, but still remains a celebration of womanhood, family and community.
The young woman’s fifteenth birthday begins with a Misa de accion de gracias, or mass to give thanks for a completed childhood. The festejada, or adolescent woman celebrating the birthday, is seated at the foot of the church altar resplendent in an elaborate pink or white formal dress. The godparents have bestowed her with special gifts, often jewelry to accent the beautiful dress. Around the celebrant are seated her damas…maids of honor and chamberlains…escorts. Often, these are siblings, relatives or friends of the family. They are grouped in order of the different ages the young woman has completed. The mass combines a solemn ceremony similar to baptism welcoming the festejada to her new life and challenges ahead as an adult. After the mass, the young woman leaves a bouquet of flowers to the Virgen de Guadalupe. Her female siblings, cousins and friends distribute bolos, special gifts of remembrance to the guests assembled in the church. After the Misa de accion de gracias has concluded, lots of photographs are made to distribute to everyone, and it’s time for the party!
At the party presents are often given to help the birthday girl in her transitions to school, social life, or work. The party is a big affair, traditionally lasting for six hours. The parents, godparents, and often other families go all-out to make the party an absolutely over-the-top experience. A central component is the cake, which vies with the girl’s quinceanera gown in its marvelous decoration. The dimensions of the cake are customarily immense. There is dancing, a live band, and plenty of pop, contemporary dance music, cumbia, banda, salsa, and older songs for both young and old guests. The festejada traditionally opens the party officially by dancing a waltz with her father or primary escort. A formal dinner is featured at the party as well. There is also a brindis or toast, in which people remark on the celebrant with pride and fond memories of her youth. This is also the occasion when the parents impart special messages, transferring wisdom and life-experience to their daughter.” Arturo explained with pride almost like he was reciting all this from memory as he offered up Koko an explanation to this part of his culture.
“Sounds cool Arty, but what’s the problem. I mean…is it because your father won’t be around for the important role that dad’s fill in his daughter’s…um…quince…um….”
“Quinceanera.” Arturo finished off for Koko. “No…I mean…yes…that is part of it and mom doesn’t know who she is going to have fill in for papa…I’m thinking one of my uncles…you know one of papa’s brothers.” He paused as his mind seemed to wander in thought before coming back to the moment.
“That isn’t the main reason though. You see someone trashed the community center where we were going to hold the party. They started a fire and spray painted nasty vile things about Hispanics. Almost as if they knew we were going to be having a party there for my sister this weekend. It is the only place mom could afford that would hold all the people. Papa had been saving money for years for all of my sisters, but we have to budget things now since we aren’t making as much money. It is very difficult and mom is beside herself not knowing what to do now because there is just too much damage.” Arturo stated as tears began to trickle down his cheeks truly hurt for his sister.
“It just isn’t fair because my sister deserves to have a nice quinceanera celebration.” He began to cry trying to choke back the tears unsuccessfully.
Koko immediately reached out to his friend sympathetically while I scooted over as well taking the boy in my arms. “Arty why didn’t your mom tell me she was having so much problems with the party?” I asked him as he just shook his head.
“She doesn’t want to bother anyone else Mr. Will. It is our responsibility to take care of our own family. Mom is very proud you know.” He stated wiping away the tears with the back of his hand.
“Yes…that’s true Arturo, but I feel a little put off you know.” I stated firmly getting Arty’s attention now as his eyes got really big.
“I don’t understand Mr. Will. We didn’t mean to offend you. I mean…you know you are invited to the celebration. You are like family to us.” He replied a little frightened now that maybe his mom had forgotten to invite me.
“That’s exactly right. I thought we were family, and didn’t you just say family is supposed to take care of their own. I won’t have it anymore…being treated like some common stranger. Koko…I want you to go to your room and get changed into your swim trunks. Arty…no more working in the garden today…instead…you are going to join Koko and have some fun in the pool. Koko’s had a rough day too, and I think it is time the two of you have a bit of fun.” I snapped at them standing up catching Arturo by surprise.
“Mr. Will…I…um…please don’t be upset.” Arturo stated a bit taken by surprise at my outburst.
“Upset…well…that is for me and your mother to work out. While you two go swimming I will be talking with your mother about how I’ve been so unfairly treated as if I were some common stranger. Hell…for that matter she would treat a stranger better.” I stated crossing my arms as it began to sink in to Arty what I was up to.
“How dare she have this party in some common rinky dink community center instead of having it here in this beautiful garden? After all…it is your family’s garden too. Everywhere I look I see your father, and now a bit of you as well. What more fitting place to host a party for your sister’s important day.” I finished off noticing Arty smiling broadly while Koko sort of shuffled his feet around nervously while looking at the pool.
Arturo saw Koko hesitating, and scrunched up his eyebrows. “You don’t want to go swimming? I mean if you want to do something else we can?” He offered up looking longingly at the cool crystal clear pool with the nice little waterfall and everything.
Koko shrugged glancing over towards the pool. “Um…I guess we can…well…if we stay in the shallow end.” He offered up blushing now as it finally dawned on me that he didn’t know how to swim.
“Oh…sorry Koko. Why didn’t you tell me that you didn’t know how to swim?” I offered up as he shrugged his shoulders again making me roll my eyes while he looked down a bit mortified that at his age he couldn’t swim.
Arty came to his rescue though waving me off. “Don’t worry Mr. Will. You just go yell at mom really good like for disrespecting you. After all she’s never wrong you know, so it should make things interesting. He stated seriously as I tried to stifle a laugh behind my hand at the comment about his mom never being wrong.
“I’ll take care of Koko. I know how to teach someone to swim. I taught my little cousin last year the same way papa taught me how to swim. By the time the party comes around Koko will be swimming like a champ. Come-on Koko let’s find your swim trunks.” The twelve year old urged his younger friend grabbing him by the hand pulling him towards the house.
“You really think you can teach me to swim?” Koko asked a bit skeptically as he intertwined his fingers with Arturo’s not in the least bit concerned he was holding another boy’s hand.
“Sure…it really isn’t all that difficult once you know some of the tricks. The biggest hurdle all the time is just being afraid of sinking. So the first thing I will teach you is how to float. After that it’s only about moving your arms and legs in the proper way. Just like walking, riding a bike, skateboarding, or anything else. It only takes a little practice and voila…you are good to go.” Arturo stated casually as if there was no big deal to it at all.
Watching the two of them together like that holding hands made me smile. There just seemed to be this sort of link between them. It reminded me of that instant bond I had with Koko’s dad. Despite the obvious differences there was this sort of connection I felt with him, and I could see the same thing between these two boys. I know Koko had fallen for Tim, but I could tell that with Arturo it appeared to be a bit different, somehow more. I only hoped that the two of them would see it as well allowing their friendship to blossom. Of course that doesn’t mean it had to be sexual in any way, but just something unique and special.
While I was on the phone with Arty’s mom, Elena, telling her how offended I was that she wasn’t going to be holding the quinceanera party for her daughter in the garden that her husband and son made so beautiful; I watched the two boys in the pool. Koko had slipped into his blue and green pair of polyester Boys’ Husky Colorblocked pieced swim trunks with the net lining. He looked so cute in them, and it dawned on me that he must have slipped into them with Arturo in the room. I knew the way Koko felt about that sort of thing getting undressed in front of the other boy probably wouldn’t even faze him, but I smiled wondering what Arty’s reaction must have been when the younger boy simply stripped naked in front of him. Not that Koko had all that much between his legs, but I’m sure Arty’s never seen another boy stripping in front of him, at least not at their age. Things tend to change when they reach a certain age regarding their state of undress.
Currently Koko was on his back with Arturo teaching him how to float. I noticed the older boy’s eyes continuously wandering over Koko’s tanned sleek body and small little boy bulge making me smile knowingly. Even from the window I could see Koko sporting a bit of an erection probably due to the close contact with Arturo who kept on bumping into him. The older boy’s hands were beneath the smaller boy keeping him afloat, and he would release Koko letting his lower body dip down below the water as his legs floated downwards in the typical way when someone tries to float. After all the upper body tends to remain buoyed because all the air is in the lungs; whereas, the legs would float downwards being a bit heavier.
After Koko’s legs floated downwards Arturo would reach below the younger boy’s bottom lifting him back up. I noticed he tended to always make sure that Koko’s crotch area lifted just above the water level. Even from inside the house I could see how the wet fabric clung around Koko’s privates accentuating the small semi-hard outline of the boy’s penis along with two small little lumps from his testicles. In a way watching the two of them interact this way was very sexy, and I could feel my own manly bits begin to stir between my legs from the sultry nature of the boys’ interplay.
Smiling at the scene unfolding in front of me I assured Elena that there would be no problems with holding her daughter’s quinceanera party over here. When she asked after Arturo I told her he was currently enjoying a swim in the pool. She of course was a little upset saying she had given him permission to come over so he could work in the garden not play in the pool. I assured her he had finished up with his work so was now helping me out with Koko. I explained to her that the younger boy didn’t know how to swim so Arturo had kindly offered to teach him since he taught his cousin last year.
Since he was helping out like this she felt it was alright, and I even convinced her to let Arturo stay for dinner with us pointing out the two boys would probably be working up a big appetite. She agreed, but only if I allowed Koko to come over at times as well. Of course I didn’t have any problem with this knowing what a fantastic cook she was, and also knowing that as a parent she wanted to get to know her child’s new friends.
By the time I hung up the phone with Arturo’s mom turning my attention back to the boys a pretty big stretch of time had passed us by. Looking out the window I chuckled noticing that Koko was now being supported by Arturo while on his stomach. All of a sudden the smaller boy seemed to jerk and giggle. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Arturo had slipped his hand between one of the leg openings of Koko’s swim trunks fondling the younger boy’s little ornaments. Surprisingly this had turned into something more than a simple swim lesson for the boys.
Koko squirmed for a few moments before settling down getting a dreamy look on his face. Arturo made his way over towards the edge of the pool where I could see Koko placing his arms over the side of the pool laying his head on his folded arms. The boy’s chest settled on the paving while his body from the chest down remained in the water. Arturo still had his hand beneath Koko, and I could tell he was masturbating the younger boy even though I couldn’t actually see him doing it to him. Koko’s swim trunks on his left leg was shoved upwards making me realize he must have slipped the younger boy’s penis and boy bag through the leg opening freeing up his small package just like a kid would if he were taking a piss. Instead of pulling the front of his shorts down, he had shoved the leg opening upwards pulling out the smaller boy’s package.
Suddenly Koko voice squeaked with his body trembling as his orgasm rippled through his tiny frame. Arturo’s expression was priceless once he understood that he had made another boy orgasm. His whole face had lit up grinning from ear to ear as he realized that he had just pleasured another boy. I knew it was the first time the older boy had actually done anything sexual with someone else. A few moments later a very happy content Koko began to stir as he reached over giving Arturo a big hug wrapping his legs around the older boy’s waist and his arms around his neck. I could hear his voice carry though the open window as Arty held on to the boy in the water.
“Thanks Arty…um…that was really nice…you know…the swim lesson.” Koko giggled making Arty laugh as well.
“So you like the way I teach someone to swim?” The older boy giggled back teasingly.
“Yeah…it’s like magic.” Koko chuckled shaking his head. “Do you give everyone lessons like this, or just special cases?” He teased the older boy who leaned up against the side of the pool next to his younger friend after releasing him.
“No…actually…this is the first time I tried this method. I…um…I’ve never done anything like that before…you know. I mean…you didn’t mind…you know…me touching you like that?” Arturo asked his friend seemingly getting a bit shy about what he had just done.
“No…it was kind of…uh…nice…um…maybe…we can…uh…you know…maybe I can do that for you sometime?” Koko asked hopefully as Arty looked sideways at him blushing.
“Um…yeah…maybe?” Arty responded looking a bit embarrassed about it now.
“Would it be alright…if I…you know?” Koko asked noticing Arturo sort of glancing towards the house.
From where they were I knew he couldn’t see inside because of the curtains I had hanging up. From the outside the lacy curtains sort of prevented people from seeing inside the house even though it didn’t hinder me from looking out.
“Um…it’s alright if you don’t want to…I…um…still enjoyed what you did for me.” Koko added not wanting to put any pressure on his friend.
“No…um…it’s not that. I mean…I…uh…I’ve never done anything like this with another boy or anything.” He stated with Koko nodding his head.
“Oh…I see. It’s cool if you don’t think boys should be doing this sort of thing with each other…I understand.” Koko replied smiling reassuringly at his new friend hoping this wouldn’t mess up their friendship somehow.
“No…that’s not what I meant Koko. I mean…it’s just…I…um…I’ve never done this sort of thing with anyone else period. I guess I’m alright with it…just…I… well I’m bigger…I mean I don’t mean bigger…you know…down there…I mean I am…but crap this isn’t coming out right.” Arturo grimaced trying to get his thoughts together feeling all out of sorts.
Koko reached out placing his hand on his friend’s arm. “Just take a deep breath and tell me slowly. I won’t be upset or anything Arty…I mean I really like you no matter what. I just don’t want to ruin our friendship because of this.” The smaller boy smiled encouragingly at his new friend.
“No Koko of course not. I like you too and think maybe this could be something kind of fun to try out together…you know. Just…I…um…I think maybe we should do this sort of thing slowly. My papa always said that when a boy gets ready to do that sort of thing he should think with his head and heart, not his…you know…penis. Also Koko I’m a little older…you know?” He emphasized making Koko nod his head.
“I know you are older, but only a little, not even a whole year. Me being younger than you makes it different for you?” Koko asked sadly thinking it was because of the age difference between them holding things back now.
Arturo leaned in kissing Koko on the cheek making both boys blush. “No…that’s not it either Koko.” Arturo giggled. “I think I like you too. No what I mean is that for several months now…uh…well I’ve been able to…you know…squirt now for a while and…uh…what if I do that here in the pool?” He giggled looking towards the house now while Koko finally understood giggling too.
“I don’t know…I mean do you squirt like a lot? Geeze Arturo that’s kind of cool…you know…being able to shoot and all. I can’t wait to see you do that. I wish I spewed already, but daddy told me it probably wouldn’t happen until I was twelve or thirteen. At least it didn’t happen for him until then.” He finished as both boys looked at one another giggling like two little girls with a big secret. “Would it be alright…you know…if I touched you…down there?” Koko asked his friend who shrugged his shoulders turning towards the smaller boy.
The younger boy reached down shoving his hand beneath Arturo’s shorts smiling. “Wow…it’s like kinda big…thin, but definitely way bigger than mine and you’ve got some hairs too. Oh…no way…you still have your…um…you know skin too. Does it pull back all the way?” Koko stated when Arturo all of a sudden grabbed the other boy’s wrist pulling his hand out from beneath his shorts. “Are you alright?” Koko asked while Arty nodded his head.
“Yeah…that was close…you know…when you tried to skin me…I almost.” He retorted sending both boys into a fit of laughter. “Shit Koko that felt too intense with you touching me like that. I never knew something could feel so good that fast.” He continued to laugh.
“Yeah…I’m sure you would have made a mess of things for sure.” Koko hooted shaking his head. “I think its way cool too that you are like me down there, but maybe sometimes it is better not being able to squirt yet.” He teased his older friend. “Damn Arty you’re probably going to end up with blue balls for sure.” He barked while the other boy merely looked at him, and then downwards trying to look beneath the surface of the water as he pulled the waist band from his shorts outwards trying to see what the smaller boy meant by that statement.
“Blue balls…what’s that?” He asked still looking down beneath the surface of the water trying to get a good look at his balls before looking up at the younger boy who began to crack up again.
“I didn’t mean it literally you silly ninny.” The younger boy giggled shaking his head at his older friend realizing that even though the boy was a year older there were still some things he knew about that the other boy didn’t.
Koko explained to Arturo what he meant by blue balls making the other boy cringe admitting that he was already feeling it happening. Koko laughed again when Arturo asked him if this would damage his goods somehow. By the smaller boy’s reaction Arty sensed that he wasn’t in any danger laughing as well waiting for his friend’s response. The younger boy told him that the best way to relieve the aching feeling was to jack off until he squirted, which seemed to make the older boy feel better about the awkward situation.
The two of them talked for a while longer before Arturo reached out noticing Koko’s small medallion around his neck. “Do you like it?” Koko asked his friend smiling knowingly.
“Yeah…it’s really nice…but why Saint Sebastian? I mean Papa told me he is the Patron Saint of Gardeners. He always carried a card with the image of the saint on it with his garden tools.”
“Oh cool…um…well I guess he’s mainly known as the Patron Saint of Athletes, rarely as the Patron Saint of Gardeners. See I’ve got an image of gymnastics on the other side.” Koko pointed out showing his friend who scrunched up his eyebrows looking back questioningly.
“Gymnastics?” He simply inquired.
“Yeah, daddy used to teach gymnastics. I used to compete too, but lately I haven’t been able to…you know…with everything going on.”
“Oh cool.” Arturo smiled taking a closer look at the silver medallion.
The two boys chatted for another couple of minutes before I made my way out to the side of the pool informing them I had ordered pizza for us all. Koko of course looked at me meaningfully, but I told him that since he had worked so hard with learning how to swim that maybe a pizza was called for in this case instead of taking the time to prepare something healthier. After I told him that Arturo would be staying for dinner before going home he seemed to think it a good idea after all.
As both boys pulled themselves out of the pool I handed them their towels. As I handed Arty his he paused a moment noticing the small box sitting on top of the folded towel.
“What’s this?” He asked while Koko and I looked at each other smiling.
“Just something I brought back for you from my trip.” I responded while Arty looked at me a bit confused.
“For me…I mean…um…why would you bring me back something from your trip?” He asked his voice catching in his throat.
“Because you are special to me just like Koko and Tim. I brought each of them back something too, and since you’ve been so helpful with getting my garden back in order I only thought it appropriate when I came across this little item. Go ahead and open it up.” I suggested as he draped the towel over his shoulders as water continued to dribble off his sleek form to puddle around his feet.
Slowly he opened up the box holding up the medallion as he looked at both sides closely. He seemed completely stunned and spell bound realizing it was similar to Koko’s except the reverse side on his had a garden scene. Tears began to well up in his eyes as he looked at me not knowing what to say.
“I…I…,” he began as his voice cracked all chocked up so he simply ran over to me wrapping his arms around my waist burying his head in my chest while he sobbed.
Koko stood silently by his friend’s side tenderly running his hand up and down the boy’s arm and shoulder sympathetically. “It’s alright Arty,” I soothed the older boy as he slowly stepped back wiping away the tears with the back of his hands.
“Sorry…I’m such a blubbering baby.” He chuckled nervously as he hiccupped. “I…um…thank you Mr. Will. I’ll always treasure it.” He whispered softly as he draped the chain over his head allowing it to settle against his chest.
“Yeah…it was way cool of Uncle Will to find something that all three of us would have in common. He got one for Tim too. I think you know Tim…right? Well he plays lacrosse so the image on the other side of his has a lacrosse theme. Kind of weird how your Patron Saint is also one for us too…huh?” He asked Arty who smiled and nodded back.
“Yeah, way cool.” He replied drying himself off as I left the two boys knowing they’d be coming inside soon enough.
Arturo had stayed for dinner, but I told him his mom wanted him to head home right afterwards. I promised that I would talk to her about having a sleepover here with Koko after things were settled down with the party. Arturo glanced over towards the younger boy, and the two of them seemed to blush with anticipation what that night would hold for them. By the time Arty got home an hour or so later, I was sure he was bursting at the seams in dire need to take care of his hormonal needs. I was pretty sure he hopped into the shower right away to get cleaned up taking care of his aching blue balls. This night would probably have him spraying his biggest load yet as he fantasized about Koko.
Recalling the other day when I watched him masturbating his decent sized twelve year old four inch long foreskin covered thin and sleek erection, my own balls began to ache knowing what the boy was likely doing to himself in the shower. I guess he wasn’t going to be the only one unloading his fuel tanks this evening. Shaking my head I realized if there were going to be these young boys around all the time now, I had better get used to being turned on by all the young energy and testosterone in the air.
The rest of the week simply flew by quickly, and before I knew it the quinceanera party was over with. It had been a festive celebration, and Elena, Arturo’s mom seemed to be on cloud nine the entire time as she gushed over her daughter. She had been kept busy of course, but the entire family had pitched in to help out. During the week Arturo had come over practically every day to make sure everything was perfect in the garden before spending time with Koko in the swimming pool.
As the days slipped away and the quinceanera approached it became obviously clear that the two boys were growing fond of one another in that unique kind of way. At times their relationship seemed to flourish as their friendship deepened, while at other times there was that sort of profound connection between the two of them where their love for one another seemed to take root and blossom. I left them alone as much as possible during those times, and when I would glance out through the window watching them playing around in the pool I could see the two of them sort of fooling around with one another in a flirtatious kind of way.
The two boys seemed to take things slowly never again taking it as far as the first time together in the pool, seemingly content to see where things would lead to at the moment. That didn’t stop them from flirting around with one another in a playful kind of way, and I even caught them a time or two embracing one another giving each other a quick kiss on the lips before blushing and giggling about it. To me it seemed as if they were sort of testing the waters with one another.
At night Koko would hop in the shower and from the noises I was hearing it didn’t take a lot of imagination to figure out how he was abusing himself in a good way. I imagined Arty was getting a pretty good workout as well in that regard when he went home getting cleaned up. These days Koko was constantly walking around sporting an erection, but I ignored it not wanting to embarrass him about it. The boy seemed in such high spirits becoming much more outgoing and interactive with others. His attachment to me also deepened, cuddling up with me as we watched television.
Every day his personality seemed to unfold flourishing while his trust in me deepened as he opened up. While this went on I began to notice something else, just little everyday types of things which reminded me more and more of his father. In some ways he was a different person, but he also had a lot of his dad inside of him, and it always made me smile as I fondly recalled those moments I had with his father. As the days seemed to slip away lazily from us, I found myself drawn to him more and more as my own love for the smaller boy seemed to blossom in a deep caring kind of way.
It was the day after the quinceanera with the following morning marking the day I would be heading back into work. Koko had received a call from Arty asking if it was alright to meet up at the ice cream parlor down the street. I didn’t see any harm in it since I was going to be busy today with cleaning up from the party. Elena and several family members had stayed after the party cleaning up most of the mess, but when it started getting really late I told them to leave the rest alone, and I would finish up in the morning. Today it was only little things needing to be put away.
That’s what I was doing outside in the garden when I saw a flash of movement on the other side by the stairs that led down to the street. When I glanced up I noticed it was Koko all in a rush, and something struck me as being a bit off.
“Koko?” I shouted out questioningly a bit confused by his sudden appearance.
The smaller boy heard me and stopped running looking towards where he had heard my voice. “Uncle Will…hurry!” I heard him shouting back towards me as he suddenly sprinted towards me.
Immediately my heart leaped into my throat knowing something was wrong as I dropped the trash bag I was holding running towards him. “Shit…Koko what happened to you?” I gasped out kneeling down in front of him noticing blood all over the front of his shirt and shorts. “Oh my gawd…Koko are you alright?” I asked not really waiting for an answer but immediately lifting up his shirt looking for the source of his blood. “Where are you hurt let me look at you.” I started to panic as I ran my hands over his body looking for any signs of his injury while my heart pounded in my chest.
“Uncle Will it’s not…,” Koko began but was stifled when I crushed his small body into my chest holding him tightly my voice cracking in my throat with emotion.
“Oh Koko are you sure you aren’t hurt…I…I’d just die if something happened to you. Please tell me you are alright and not hurt.” My voice quivered as I held him tightly in my arms rocking him back and forth as I struggled to bring my fear of him being hurt back into control.
Then I heard a faint smothered voice. “Uncle Will…you’re crushing me.” Koko gasped as I suddenly released him holding his face in my hands while I began kissing his sweet adorably cute cheeks, lips, and nose all over.
I don’t know what had gotten into me, but the idea that he was somehow hurt scared the crap out of me. “Koko…are you sure you are alright? Where did all the blood come from? What happened? Please tell me you are alright? I’d just die if something happened to you. I love you too much for that.” I ranted in rapid succession once more running my hands under his shirt and then down his legs even taking a moment to pull the waistband from his shorts outwards looking down between his legs just to be on the safe side.
Koko gawked at me for a moment baffled by my reaction, and then something seemed to change for a split second in his features. It was as if something inside of him sort of shifted and clicked into place as he flung himself at me wrapping his arms around my neck. “Do…do you really mean it…I mean…you…um…really love me?” He asked his question stunning me for a moment as I held him just as tightly as he was holding me.
“Yes of course Koko…you should know that by now. I mean…I know you love me too, but still…,” I paused slowly holding him out from me so I could get a good look at him. “What happened?” I asked a bit more calmly now as Koko’s eyes got real big again once he remembered why he had been in such a rush.
“Come-on Uncle Will.” He shouted grabbing my hand pulling me towards the house. “It’s Tim…um…he got into a fight. I mean…at first this big jerk…um…Jason started to pick on Arty saying all sorts of awful stuff. Then I tried to help, but he was just too big and shoved me away. Then Arty got mad and tried to protect me, but Jason slammed him up against a wall. Then from nowhere Tim showed up getting between this brute shoving him back away from us. That’s when this Jason kid just up and knees Tim in the…um…you know…balls.” Koko paused wincing and shivering at the memory.
“I mean it looked like it hurt really bad even making me flinch. Tim wasn’t expecting it doubling over as the big kid just balled up his fist and came smashing down on poor Tim’s back. That’s when Arty jumped in again trying to help out, but this Jason kid was just too big so shoved him down on to the ground. He looked really crazy…you know…this Jason kid, and he was getting ready to kick the crap out of Arty, but then out of nowhere Tim started to wail on this guy. I don’t know how he managed to get up after getting it in the nuts and taking that pounding, but he did. Anyway…he starts wailing on this big kid with his lacrosse stick. There was blood everywhere and it must have scared the crap out of this Jason kid because he just took off. But Tim’s hurt pretty bad Uncle Will. Arty’s helping him up the elevator…and he’s probably waiting by the front door.”
Koko explained the whole thing to me in one breath as he pulled me towards the house. Once I knew what was going on I hurried to the front door. Just as I reached for the doorknob I heard the banging on the front door. Opening it up Tim nearly collapsed into my arms for support. Arty was holding on to him along with Tim’s sports bag and equipment.
“Oh shit…Tim…are you alright?” I asked as the older boy nodded his head.
“Yeah…I…um…I think so Uncle Will.” He grimaced as I looked him over quickly.
“And you Arty? I asked reaching over patting his cheeks affectionately while he nodded his head too.
“Yes Mr. Will, I’m fine but Tim is the one who got it really bad. I don’t know how he managed to get back up…but if he hadn’t I’d be dead for sure. Please tell me Tim will be alright?” He asked me as I nodded to him reassuringly before focusing my attention back to the older boy.
Most of the blood must have been Jason’s because it didn’t look like Tim was bleeding or anything. The older boy was stooped over a little wincing in pain. I’ve been nailed in the balls on occasion too as I was growing up, and usually the initial pain is horrible, but then sort of ebbs away getting better. Tim still seemed to be in pain though so I hoped nothing horribly had happened down there.
“Um…I heard Jason got you pretty good…um…you know…uh…in the balls. Are…do you need to go check and see if they are…um…swollen or something?” I asked him as Tim gawked at me for a second looking a bit worried.
“I…uh…I don’t know Uncle Will. Um…do you think that maybe…uh…I’m kind of afraid to check. I mean he got me really good and my whole insides hurt. I’m not sure, but I might have even puked.” He stated looking at me making me even more worried because that’s never happened to me. “Um…maybe you can…you know…take a look for me?” He asked a tad embarrassed by it, but still also a bit too afraid to look himself.
“Um…yeah…I guess I can do that.” I told him as I watched him unbutton his cargo shorts pulling them down along with his white fruit of the looms boy’s briefs.
He placed his hands on my shoulder for support standing in front of me looking away biting his lower lip nervously. Koko and Arturo gawked at the older boy’s nakedness not able to resist taking a peek even though it was under unusual circumstances. Tim’s soft penis had sort of shrunk a little since the last time I saw it, which didn’t really surprise me considering the situation. His tight boy hugged his body closely as well, almost like it was trying to protect him from further damage.
“Well?” Tim asked bringing me back to the moment.
“I…um…I don’t know Tim. I mean…it’s not like I see you naked all the time or anything. I mean it sort of looks like everything’s kind of shrunk on you, which to be honest I can’t blame it after getting smashed like that.” I told him honestly.
“Well…um…does it feel like it is swollen?” He asked finally glancing down before blushing looking away again biting his lower lip nervously.
“Geeze…how should I know…I mean…you really want me to…you know…feel around?” I asked noticing him nodding his head since the fear of being damaged down their outweighed the fear of being groped in front of everyone.
“Please Uncle Will. I…um…they sort of ache and I’m scared…you know.” He whispered as I just shook my head nervously before gently wrapping my fingers around his soft tight leathery like boy bag.
It was kind of difficult to tell anything at first because his satchel had pulled up tightly against his body. Slowly I stretched the skin gently running my fingers over the shape of his testicles being careful not to squeeze too tightly. Both of the two smaller boys were watching me intently and I thought about telling them to leave us alone, but it didn’t seem to bother Tim who was still biting his lip nervously holding on to Arty’s hand. The smaller boy looked up at Tim smiling encouragingly patting the older boy’s hand before once more gazing intently at what I was doing.
Tim’s testicles seemed to be about the same as what I figured they should be like, about the size of a walnut shell. I seemed to recall that’s the size they were the last time I noticed them. They felt kind of soft and pliable in my hands as I gently squeezed them. Tim seemed to wince a little so I released his testicles looking up at him.
“I think you will be alright Tim. I mean I don’t think they are swollen or anything, but I guess they are still a bit sensitive though.” I told him as he sighed in relief finally taking a look for himself.
All of a sudden there was a knocking noise on the door making all of us jump out of our skins. Tim immediately bent over pulling back on his underwear and shorts before anyone could open up the door. I noticed him wincing in pain as he tried to straighten up reaching towards his back reminding me he had been hit pretty hard back there as well.
“Let me take a look at your back.” I told Tim who grimaced while watching Arty as the boy went to answer the door.
It was Elena coming over to help finish up cleaning the house from the party. She immediately took in the scene reaching for Arty embracing him asking what had happened. In Spanish the smaller boy filled her in with the situation while I continued to check over Tim. When I probed his lower back Tim seemed to gasp holding his breath in pain. The tender area felt hot to the touch so I got a little worried.
“Elena I need you to do me a favor and stay here with the kids. I’m taking Tim to the hospital just to be on the safe side.” I told her grabbing my car keys.
“I want to go too Uncle Will.” Koko ran over to me with a worried look on his face.
Kneeling down I gave Koko a big hug holding on to him for a few moments not ever wanting to let him go before finally giving in and releasing him. “Koko…I need you to stay here with Arty’s mom…alright? I’m very proud of you and I love you so much…for real. I’m so relieved you didn’t get hurt in this whole mess, and I’m sure Tim will be just fine, but it is better to be safe than sorry. So be a good little man for me, and do what Elena tells you while I’m gone. I won’t be long…I promise.” I told Koko as I hugged him again breathing him in before leaning back to give him a quick peck on the lips while he nodded at me understanding blushing a bit for the first time at the display of affection since other people were around witnessing the exchange.
When I looked up Elena was smiling kneeling next to her little boy with her arm wrapped around his shoulder. She motioned for Koko to come over as he held his head down, but wandered over next to her. She whispered in his ear kissing him on the cheek wrapping her other arm around him as well. He didn’t seem to mind that all too much probably because Arty was getting the same attention, and it was coming from a motherly figure.
Helping to support Tim, I gently wrapped my arm around his waist while he put his arm over my shoulder as we made our way to the elevator and my car. The hospital was only about a mile away so we got there in a matter of minutes. While on the way I called up Mary filling her in on the situation. She was freaking out, but I managed to calm her down enough assuring her that Tim was fine, and she stated she’d meet us at the hospital. I also called the police who said they would meet us over there as well to take a statement.
We went straight to the emergency room which hardly had any people waiting so they managed to get us in right away. Tim looked a bit scared telling the doctor he wanted me to be there with him since his mom wasn’t there yet. To be honest, I don’t think Tim would have wanted his mom in the room anyway when the doctor began to probe around his privates. I held Tim’s hand while the Doctor slathered on this gel like substance all over the boy’s tight leathery satchel. Tim gasped because it was cold with it looking to me as if his teenaged boy pouch seemed to tighten up even further forcing me to stifle myself from laughing at the poor boy’s expense.
After gelling him up like that the doctor used a hand tool to do an ultrasound scan of his testicles. He ran the small device over the surface of the boy’s scrotum sack slowly while we all watched the black and white screen. It was kind of strange seeing an image of Tim’s oval shaped testicles like this, but at the same time I knew if Koko and Arturo were here they’d think it was kind of cool. To be honest even I thought it was cool.
“Hmmmm, doctor maybe you should take a picture of it just like pregnant mothers do to show off to everyone. I’m sure there are a lot of Tim’s friends who’d get a kick out of seeing his balls exposed in this way.” I suggested.
The older boy immediately shot daggers at me with his gaze. “No!” Tim’s voice cracked in a panic. “I mean…that won’t be necessary doctor.” He finished off a bit more concerned as I giggled at his expense while the doctor also smiled putting away his equipment.
Tim had just finished up wiping away the gel from his balls when his mom came bursting through the door. “Mom!” Tim yelped in surprise, this most definitely not being his day, as he tried to cover up his gel slathered boy bits with his hands while his face shifted into about ten different shades of red. “Turn around for Pete’s sake.” He snapped before wincing from trying to turn his back to her as well with his exposed lily white ass pointing towards us now making it difficult for me not to laugh at the situation.
Mary just gawked for a split second finally realizing what was going on so promptly turned her back allowing her son some dignity in getting covered up with the hospital gown. I got up walking over towards Tim’s mom wrapping my arms around her. I felt her shuddering as she tried to hold back the floodgates of tears.
“H…how bad is it?” She whispered in my ear.
“It’ll be alright. The doctor just did an ultrasound on Tim’s…um…,”my voice caught in my throat because of the weirdness of the situation as I sort of coughed turning my head away to get it cleared out before continuing. “They did an ultrasound on Tim’s testicles, and the doctor seems to think there is only a slight swelling that should go away by tomorrow. He’s getting ready to look at Tim’s back now. I’m sure it’s nothing, but from past experiences I will lay odds it will look nasty by tomorrow.” I told her reassuringly.
“Alright mom you can turn around now.” Tim stated with the hospital gown wrapped around his waist, and him blushing at having been caught all gelled up like that.
I couldn’t help myself as I chuckled at him. “Hey…no fair Uncle Will…it’s not funny. I mean…it’s not like I’m a little baby anymore…and well…its kind weird having mom see me naked anymore. Not to mention sort of creepy having her see me all gelled…um…I mean with gel on my…uh…you know.” He stated the last part more softly not intending others to hear it, but Mary did, and she all of a sudden started to giggle understanding all too well what Tim was hinting at.
After all, most times when a teenage boy has gel all over his privates it is because he’s doing something a little naughty. Tim could tell his mom knew exactly what he was thinking as his face flushed another ten different shades of red. It was a bit mortifying for him to be in this situation as he simply looked away biting his lower lip nervously now that his mom was in the room with him being at a disadvantage since he was kind of exposed. Personally I didn’t know what the big issue was with kids these days since at his age I still tended to walk around naked inside my own home without being too concerned about my mom seeing me.
The doctor shook his head as well totally understanding Tim’s plight, but remained quiet not wanting to embarrass the teenager any further. Instead he let Mary chat with her son for a minute or two before telling them he wanted to take a quick look at his back. While he began to probe the older boy’s back I realized the injury was practically in the same spot mine had been when I had been sandwiched between two guys during football practice. I winced recalling how painful it had been.
Shaking my head my mind began to drift back to that time after I got hurt while also having to deal with a bully of my own. Well, it wasn’t my bully, but rather, one I had to deal with for Coco’s sake. In a way, I suppose I was going to have to try taking care of another one because now it involved my current Koko as well, and I knew these types of bullies all too well. Now that the younger boy in my charge had gotten into the mix of things, this Jason kid would be gunning for him as well. I sighed wondering why there were always bullies no matter where you went. My mind seemed to drift back to that point in time in the past. The moment in my young life where I had to deal with a similar situation for Koko’s father when he was about the same age making me wonder if there was a way I could use that same experience to my advantage now.

*************************************************************
The boys weren’t the only ones tired as I yawned watching them make their way out the door. Koko paused briefly at the door turning smiling at me before blowing a kiss my way looking adorably cute in his simple cottony gray gym shorts. I could just make out the small little outline of his boy lump making me smile appreciatively at his beauty before he turned shutting the door silently behind him.
As soon as the door closed I felt a small twinge of guilt recalling my earlier eavesdropping. In some ways I felt bad about it, but in other ways I had also managed to get some insights into Koko with how he was feeling about the state of affairs at the moment. He was apprehensive about the current situation, which was to be expected, but at least he seemed to be handling it well enough. Soon though, I knew we would need to sit down in order to have a heart to heart talk with one another about what was to become of him. It wasn’t something I was looking forward to, but it was necessary.
**************************************************************
It was still early in the morning when I suddenly woke up looking at the clock. I panicked for a moment before groaning when I realized I was still on vacation. Over the years I’ve been getting up so early to head into work that I simply automatically wake up anymore. Over the last several days I’ve been waking up a little later, but it was still difficult for me to sleep in too long. As I look at my clock I noticed it was early in the morning as of yet, not even six as I crawled out of bed padding my way towards the bathroom. My burgeoning bladder was protesting urging me to relieve the pressure. Between the boys’ sexual escapades from the night before, and my urgent need to pee, my excited balls were aching.
Sighing and shaking my head, I finished up with my bladder issue before stepping inside the shower stall to take care of my other aching need. I had to admit that with what happened between me and Tim, and then later seeing the two boys being intimate with one another for their first time real sexual experience with someone else, it had me all worked up with my balls aching for some sexual release. Even though I took care of my urges on a regular basis it was still a sort of wake up call reminding me how sexually tense things were between boys at that particular age.
It didn’t take me long to take care of own issues feeling clean and refreshed when I finally stepped back into my room starting up my computer. Checking my emails I smiled printing out the documents Mary had sent over to me. Looking at my watch I suppose she must have gotten up early as well even though they were ahead in time from us. Grabbing the documents I strode lightly out of my room with a bounce to my step feeling all giddy about the new contract. I always feet great after reeling in a client, and this was a very big fish indeed so I was interested in seeing what Mary had been able to work out. I paused a moment by Koko’s room sneaking a peek inside. It was a very sexy sight with the two boys spooned together completely naked with the lightweight blanket shoved off to the side. The room was a bit on the warm side feeling stuffy, not to mention it smelled a tad rank with their sex scent permeating the airless interior.
Tim was lying on his left side with his right leg stretched out and back a little forcing the boy’s body to lean backwards. Lying in this position exposed his flaccid tube which lay folded over his small patch of soft curly pubes. His sagging pouch between his wiry long legs looked large on him with his testicles hanging heavily because of not only the heat in the room, but probably because they’ve been busy filling back up to capacity overnight with more of his precious seed that he had emptied out the previous evening. The memory of his tasty essence made me smile shaking my head. I still felt a twinge of guilt over it, but in the end if Tim didn’t feel I had somehow violated him then I suppose it was alright. The entire incident had been unintentional, and he felt comfortable about it, so I allowed myself to enjoy it as a sweet moment between the two of us.
My eyes wandered over Koko’s body now which seemed so much darker in comparison to Tim’s lighter features. It appeared as if the sunny weather here in Phoenix suited the smaller boy, already giving him that dark bronze like coloration. The petite dark haired boy was crowded back up next to Tim’s torso with the older boy’s arms wrapped around the front of the smaller boy protectively. I had to giggle when I noticed Tim’s long fingers curled around Koko’s small sagging boy pouch and extremely hard erection. I could clearly see the outline of Koko’s knob as it stretched the tight membrane of his foreskin which was slightly pulled back, but still covering the boy’s acorn shaped bell.
The two boys looked so adorably sweet cuddled up together like this, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity so I headed back into my room getting out my digital camera. I snapped off a few pictures of the two of them sleeping peacefully snuggled up in a brotherly sort of fashion together. In the big scheme of things this was merely a sweet tender moment between the two boys. Even though Tim’s fingers were wrapped around Koko’s petite erection there wasn’t anything sexual about the moment so I didn’t believe there was any harm in taking the pictures.
In the back of my mind I knew that in the reality of how our society works most would view these pictures as something morally wrong between the two boys. Those same people would also view me taking the pictures as being something sexually perverse. With this in mind I returned back to my room downloading the images encrypting the files in an unobtrusive folder on an external hard drive. I had several sensitive files from work on there that were also similarly secured so I knew these images were protected from prying eyes. If anyone ever tried to open up the files it would take them a thousand years to do so. No matter what the government indicates, there are very secured means of protecting sensitive files without so called back doors and such if one knows what to use. In my line of work dealing with sensitive materials from our clients it was essential I had access to those means.
Making my way back to the boys I entered their stuffy room gently covering their naked bodies up with the lightweight blanket. I took a seat in the chair next to the bed because I simply wanted to watch them for a few minutes. There was something sweet and tender about boys when they were asleep so I wanted to enjoy the moment. It really was a bit too warm and stuffy in the room because I did keep the house a tad on the warm side. It made sense when coming inside from ninety plus degree outside temperatures, but still too warm for when going to sleep.
Smirking, I leaned over giving each of them a gentle kiss on the forehead before walking over to the thermostat. Every area in the house had their own temperature control, and I had been meaning to reset Koko’s room, but never got around to it. At seventy four degrees it was too warm to sleep at night so I adjusted the time setting to kick in at around ten at night dropping the temperature in his room down to seventy one degrees. Still warm enough for him to remain cozy without it being too stuffy. One of the few problems with the design of the house was that the bedrooms were towards the back where the main door was which lead into the interior of the main complex. This meant the bedrooms didn’t have any windows that looked outside or that could be opened up for some fresh air. Personally I didn’t mind because it kept the bedrooms darker when the lights were off, and I slept much better this way.
The lack of natural light in the bedrooms didn’t seem to affect me since the rest of the space inside the house was very open. The large huge windows panes along the one side allowed for plenty of sunlight to spill inside the interior of my home with a breathtaking view of the garden space and desert expanse beyond. The garden area had small leafy tree’s spread around strategically to offer up enough shading not only while you were outside, but also so that the house wouldn’t overheat from direct sunlight spilling through the large windows. Plenty of natural light still filtered into the open design though giving the entire space inside the home a bright airy sort of feel to it.
The outside area on the garden roof really was spectacular not to mention spacious. I’ve held plenty of functions outside in the garden never feeling cramped. Even when I set up tables around it easily accommodated a nice sized party of about seventy five people without it coming off as overcrowded. Then if I included the open like space inside my house, a party with a hundred or so people was an easy enough thing to accommodate. As a matter of fact over the last couple of years I’ve been hosting our firm’s Christmas party. Between the spacious open garden courtyard and the open design inside the house it was easy enough to host the staff members along with their families.
During the summer I also hosted a small party for personal friends and their families to celebrate the Fourth of July. This was a more intimate gathering with my closest friends usually numbering around forty to fifty people in all. With the pool it allowed the kids to cool off and have fun, while the adults lounged around in the shaded areas of the garden or inside the house. Since it was much warmer in July I always set up these huge fans in strategic positions around the garden area creating a cool breeze. Between the shade created by the trees and shrubbery, and the cool water from the pool area and fountains, the large fans were able to create a breeze allowing me to keep the temperature in the garden area outside in the mid seventies making it a comfortable experience for my guest.
Even my brother showed up for the party bringing his wife and two daughters with them. It was strange, but even though we lived relatively close together we seldom ever saw one another, maybe once or twice a year. They only lived about forty five minutes away, but I suppose it was far enough to limit their visits. Besides, he had his life to lead with his own family keeping them constantly busy and on the go. My own work always seemed to keep me occupied as well, so I guess we both sort of got on with our own lives. In a way it seemed strange that we both ended up in the same location, but my brother had settled down here first and seemed happy. When I had finished college he had suggested I check out the region because it was a nice place to settle down. It seemed like fate when one of the firms here in Phoenix was recruiting potential people at my college. I took the job offer never looking back as I settled into my new life actually thriving loving every moment of it.
The warmer climate here suited me. I never did get used to the colder weather when we had moved to Illinois always regretting the winter months over there. Not to mention the heat was different over there as well. It was very humid during the summer months, and as soon as you walked out the door you were plastered with sweat inside your clothes. Even though it got hot in Phoenix it was a different kind of heat. I hated Illinois because it was either always too hot or too cold. That isn’t to say I didn’t have good times there or anything, it was merely somewhere I’d never settle down with a family of my own.
There I go again thinking of family as I make my way over towards the kitchen setting down the stack of documents on the counter before turning my attention to brewing a fresh pot of coffee. With Koko all of a sudden popping into my life it has really made me start to think about what it means to create a life of my very own starting a family. Of course my family would be a bit unconventional if I decide to go through with the fertility clinic. I’ve been fiddling with the idea on and off for a couple of years now so everything was already pretty much in place, ready to go if I ever decide to follow through on the decision.
Shaking my head from these silly thoughts I sat down with a cup of fresh coffee as I began the arduous task of sifting through some of the paperwork Mary had sent me. Once more I shove the whole baby thing out of my mind convincing myself that there was simply too much going on in my life to even contemplate bringing a new life into this world. I was a single man without a partner, so it wouldn’t be fair to the child.
It was calm throughout the house as I settled in, shuffling through the paperwork pleased with what I was reading. Mary had done a bang up job with the contract and agreement just like I knew she would. It was an equitable arrangement for both sides. Reaching over for my coffee the stillness was all of a sudden broken with Tim’s surprised raspy voice.
“What the fuck…,” I hear his husky voice barking out before it once more gets quiet as I realize the cup of coffee was still suspended in midair a few inches away from my lips.
I’m tempted to get up so I could check on the boys, but a hushed stillness settles around once more as I cock my head listening for any sound indicating the boys needed me. All I could hear was a bit of rustling noise coming from their room as I began to focus once more on the paperwork in front of me. Tim must have woken up or something, and now I imagined the boys were probably slowly getting up. More than likely they would be needing to take a piss here in short order. I don’t know why it is that way for us guys, but it always seems like first thing in the morning we end up rock hard needing to empty out our bladders.
Once more I focused my attention to the task at hand when Tim’s voice carried through the house with a sense of urgency. “Shit…oh…oh…Koko…I…I…shit,” I heard him gasp out loud making me perk right up.
All of a sudden there was a fairly noticeable thumping noise followed with Tim’s voice gasping out. “Uuuumph, uuumph, uuumph, aaaaaahhhhhh, shiiiii, umph, umph.”
It didn’t take a rocket science to realize what had just happened as once more a silence seemed to settle down around me sitting there in the kitchen with my cup of coffee held suspended in the air for the second time. I had completely forgotten about the black liquid substance as I tried to stifle my laughter. Evidently Koko was true to his word, and must have given Tim something nice to wake up to.
Now as I sat there listening the silence seemed to drag on forever, but I knew it had been only a few seconds. “Oh shit Koko…I…um…I can’t believe you fucking did that.” Tim sighed in a quieter voice, but it still carried out to me in the kitchen because I had left their door slightly open just the way they had left it overnight.
“Do you always squirt that much.” I heard Koko’s higher pitched voice as he giggled.
“I’m not sure…I mean…with as good as that felt I suppose I probably squirted more than usual…but for real Koko did you swallow all of it?” Tim asked seemingly surprised.
“Yeah, for a second I didn’t know if I would be able to because it all seemed to come out at once. Besides, with that big curved monster of yours it wasn’t as if I had much of a choice. When you pressed the back of my head I thought I was going to choke.” Koko admitted as both boys giggled.
“Um…yeah…well sorry about that but waking up with your mouth doing that to my…um…well it just sort of caught me by surprise is all…I couldn’t control myself. Do you really think I’m that big down there…I mean I’ve always thought it was kind of on the thin side.” I heard Tim comment as both boys seemed to fall silent for a moment as if they were scrutinizing Tim’s endowment before I heard the older boy pick up the conversation where he had left off, “and do you think my cock really bends a lot?” Tim finished his voice sounding curious.
Koko was giggling now taking him a moment to reply. “I guess it’s pretty big…I mean it’s not like I see a lot of other boys…um…you know…hard. I mean it looks nice on you, and doesn’t seem all that thin to me.” There was a pause before the smaller boy spoke up again. “Tim…why does your thingy…um…you know have that curve in it? I mean it isn’t like it bends a lot or anything…just that it sort of looks kind of wicked…you know…in a cool kind of way. Sort of like a banana, but not as bowed.” The smaller boy finished as he giggled giddily at his analogy of Tim’s penis looking like a banana.
“Uh…I’m not sure why it curves downwards like that when it gets hard. It’s simply always been like that, but it doesn’t hurt or anything so I’ve never really thought all that much about it.” He replied as it once more got quiet for a few moments.
“I smell coffee.” I heard Koko state curiously.
“Oh fuck…Uncle Tim must be up…um…you don’t think he heard us…you know?” Tim seemed to ask.
“Probably,” Koko responded giggling. “I mean our door is open so it wouldn’t surprise me at all because of how loud you got when you sort of popped your cork.” The smaller boy was laughing hard now at Tim’s expense.
“Shit…why did we leave the door open?” He asked not really expecting an answer. “Besides, if I recall…you weren’t any quieter last night. Now that I’m thinking about it you really squirmed and squealed a lot more than I did.” Tim pointed out as both boys lowered their voices now realizing that they were being a bit noisy. “Come-on…we might as well get up, besides I’ve got to take a piss real bad.” I heard the older boy comment with Koko giggling at something.
“What’s so damn funny now?” Tim asked innocently.
“Nothing…just that you are ‘banana’ hard again.” He teased.
“Yeah…well I’ve got to take a piss real bad, besides it looks like you need to go too. I hate having to pee so bad first thing in the morning. Anymore it gets a bit embarrassing when my mom comes in to wake me up because I’m always boned up first thing in the morning.”
“Geeze, no way. You mean she sees you naked all hard and stuff?” Koko asked.
“No of course not you silly nit. I’m usually under the covers…but still if I’m on my back when she wakes me up…well you know.” He finished off.
“Oh…yeah…I suppose it could be a bit embarrassing. I mean my daddy has seen me when I’ve been hard and naked, but it never really bothered me all that much.” He admitted pausing for a moment as if a thought just occurred to him. “Though, I suppose it’s different if a mom sees you like that.” Koko admitted.
“Never really thought about a dad seeing his kid boned up. I think it would still be embarrassing, but I guess not as bad. I mean…Uncle Will has seen me like that and I didn’t feel all that ashamed about it to be honest…so I guess it must be a little different I suppose. Still though the way some of my friends talk they are embarrassed about it with their dad’s too…so I don’t know.” Tim admitted.
After that I heard the boys scurrying around a bit as they got dressed before heading into the bathroom. A few minutes later Tim came sauntering out into the room shirtless, wearing only a pair of red C9 champion basketball shorts that seemed to cling around his body accentuating his decent sized boy bits. I couldn’t help but watch him as he walked over to me because he really did have a nice body.
“Good morning Uncle Will.” Tim smiled walking over giving me a quick hug wrapping his arm around me before sitting on my lap. “Whatcha reading?” He asked as I returned his embrace giving him a quick peck on the cheek which he didn’t seem to mind.
His breath smelled like mint so I knew he must have just brushed his teeth, while his body felt soft and warm in my arms. Another odor seemed to envelop us now as well. It was a thick musky boy odor intermingled with the heavy scent of sex exuding from his pores. It was very titillating, and I had to admit it turned me on as my own small member between my legs began to stir awake.
“Um…oh…this…well I guess you could say it is your future.” I told him smoothly watching as his eyebrow arched questioningly at my comment making me chuckle. “It’s the contract from our new client, which means the first installment in your college trust fund. A few more really big accounts like this and your future will be set, but we have a few years still to work on it. Between little accounts we will accumulate, and then the few larger accounts added to it, I think you will end up just fine when the time comes for you to head off to college.” I added as he smiled nodding his head.
“That’s like way cool. I still can’t believe it you know? I mean I always knew I’d go to college, but just never knew how I’d be able to afford it. I really mean it when I say thank you Uncle Will. This really means the world to both me and my mom.” He whispered leaning in giving me a kiss on the cheek making my insides churn wildly as the sense of love spread throughout my body intermingled slightly with a tinge of lust for the younger boy.
“Hey Uncle Will…what’s going on?” We heard Koko asking as he came up to us wearing his pajama bottom looking just as sexy as Tim had when he entered the room.
Like his older friend he was shirtless wearing only his old pair of short white pajama bottoms with small colorful cartoon images. I recognized some of the super hero images that appeared haphazardly in no particular order on the flimsy material. The white soft cottony fabric clung to him outlining his small petite boy package making me smile at all the eye candy the two younger boys were providing me. It made me feel like a little kid again as the smaller boy leaned in giving me a big hug and peck on the cheek.
“Good morning sport.” I told the younger boy as I returned his embrace noticing the same sort of heavy musky sexy boy scent emanating from him as well. “Nothing…we were merely discussing Tim’s future plans for college. Anyway, maybe the two of you should go hop in the shower real quick.” I chuckled shaking my heads as I crinkled my nose.
“You two smell a bit ripe from all of your guys’…um…let’s just say from all the extra curricular activity you two participated in this morning and last night.” I stated as both boys simply stared at me in shock for a moment looking a bit edgy.
“Oh…um…so you…uh…heard us?” Koko whispered biting his lower lip nervously while glancing sideways at Tim before looking down a bit embarrassed and ashamed about it. “You…um…I mean…your not…uh…mad at us…you know…for…?” Koko began shifting timidly back and forth on the balls of his feet afraid I might be upset.
Sighing I reached over pulling the little boy into my arms hugging him gently while running my hand up and down his back affectionately. “Koko…don’t worry so much all the time. I’m not upset or anything about what you two did together. You have nothing to be ashamed about, but I wouldn’t go around telling others about it either, understand?” I asked him as he nodded his head.
“What happened between you and Tim is something private which should remain between the two of you. Anyway, why don’t you both go hop in the shower to wash off the sex stink from your bodies.” I teased making Koko giggle at how I was being so open about it all. “We can talk some more about it later…if you want, alright?” I commented with both boys agreeing.
“Yeah…I suppose you’re right. It was pretty warm in the room so we did work up a sweat.” Tim chuckled getting up off my lap.
“That’s true Uncle Will. It gets pretty hot in the room at night.” Koko complained a little before blushing and looking down. “I…I’m sorry Uncle Will…really…I didn’t mean anything by it.
“I know Koko, and I really wish you would stop trying to be so perfect all the time. If you have something to say just say it from now on.” I sighed as Koko leaned in giving me another hug relieved that I wasn’t mad or anything.
I knew this new setting must be awkward for the smaller boy as he tried figuring out where he stands with things, but I didn’t want him to feel like he couldn’t speak up. “It will be cooler in your room tonight Koko…I promise. I should have adjusted the thermostat for you sooner.” I informed him as he nodded his head. “And Koko…I really mean it when I say from now on don’t hesitate to speak up…alright?” I asked him as he nodded his head before turning with Tim wrapping his arms around the smaller boy while they headed towards the bathroom to get cleaned up.
Just before they disappeared around the corner I yelled out at them. “Oh…and be sure to clean ‘all’ your little nooks and crannies too.” I teased the boys as they gaped for a moment a bit stunned before rolling their eyes giggling at me for being so forward.
Sitting there for a moment while looking down at the paperwork I sighed having enjoyed the brief respite with the two boys. They were both simply too adorably sweet. I just couldn’t believe that I had been just like them not all that long ago. It made me yearn for those wonderful youthful days. I had been a late bloomer in many ways, but I nevertheless had a wonderful childhood. When things finally had begun to happen for me sexually it had been something to cherish and remember always.
Putting away the paperwork I paused for a moment realizing that once again I wasn’t sure if the boys had any towels. Heading over to the linen closet just outside the bathroom I pulled out a couple of towels before knocking on the door. There was a short pause before I heard Tim’s voice.
“Um…yeah.” He yelled out.
“Hey guys do you have any towels?” I asked through the door this time being more careful about not barging in on someone.
“Uh…just one on the towel rack Uncle Will.” Tim replied. “It’s alright for you to come in to give us fresh ones.” He finished up.
Opening up the door I stepped inside the bathroom where the vapors from the warm water was already steaming up the small space. I walked over to the toilet next to the glass shower door setting them on top of the closed lid. Glancing over I noticed Tim was on his knees in front of Koko with the smaller boy’s small erection pointing right at his face. It didn’t take much to figure out the two of them were at it again as I shook my head at how they weren’t even afraid of me seeing what they were up to.
“Geeze for real Tim. I said to wash off the sex stink not to go polishing Koko’s silverware.” I chuckled at the boys.
“Awe, but I like Koko’s silverware. Besides, I have to repay him for the sweet way he woke me up this morning.” Tim teased back making Koko giggle while I rolled my eyes at the two of them before leaving them alone to finish up without any more interruptions.
As I made my way into the kitchen I began to wonder if being so receptive about the two boys being sexually involved really was the right thing to do. I suppose it was alright for the boys to fool around and all, but I don’t think I wanted them to get too intimate like this. I mean I guess I was pretty sexually active at that age too, well at least once things began, but still this somehow seemed different. For one thing I still didn’t know what was going to happen with Koko, and Tim seemed more interested in girls these days.
I’m sure the older boy enjoyed the incident with Koko, but past experiences has taught me that once boys tend to become focused on girls that their sexual interaction with other boys sort of dwindled. I was sure the same would hold true for Tim, and where would that leave Koko. I didn’t want the smaller boy having to face that on top of everything else he was currently dealing with in his life.
Now as I sat back watching the boys finish up the last of my famous stuffed French toast sandwiches I had to smile enjoying the way the two boys seemed to interact with one another. They joked around easily obviously happy with each other company. Koko seemed so happy glowing from the inside out eating with a healthy appetite. It didn’t surprise me considering he had probably worked up a big appetite after Tim got done with him.
“That was totally wickedly tasty Uncle Will.” Koko paused long enough to tell me with his mouth stuffed full of the tasty meal. “What do you call this again?” He asked making me smile.
“Well…there isn’t an official name for it or anything. I just call it stuffed French toast. Basically you can put anything inside the two slices of bread before dipping it in an egg batter. Personally I like putting peanut butter and jam inside, but some people like cream cheese and jam, or even fruit before they dip it in an egg batter frying it up like regular French toast.” I explained appreciating the fact that the two boys enjoyed the meal.
“This really is good Uncle Will, but if I continue to eat like this all the time I’ll get fat.” Koko replied smiling at me. “I suppose it’s alright sometimes, but I was wondering…,” he trailed off not finishing making me scrunch up my eyebrows.
“You were wondering what Koko?” I asked him as he blushed.
“Well…um…it’s just I’m not used to eating so much rich food. You know with my gymnastics and all. Daddy used to make sure I ate a little healthier. I mean we ate normal stuff and all, but also more organic stuff because daddy said all the hormones and everything they put into food here in the states is not healthy. Over in Europe they don’t allow that kind of stuff in their meats and all, so it wasn’t a big issue. Still…I…uh…was wondering if it would be alright if we got more healthy stuff to eat…you know…maybe with the meat and stuff have it be organic?” He asked me a bit shyly.
“So…what you are saying is I need to stop feeding you my tasty stuffed French toast.” I replied with a straight face while I watched his reaction.
“No…I mean…uh…I didn’t mean anything bad by it Uncle Will. Just that I need to be more careful so that I don’t get out of shape for when I get a chance to go back to my gymnastics again…you know…sometime when things finally get settled. I mean…I hope I will get to continue with it. Daddy told me I had the talent with a body build for it, so would probably do pretty good in the sport.” He replied looking down a bit sadly making me realize that he was missing his sport activity. “Besides, daddy said it isn’t a bad thing to eat these other kinds of things…just not all the time.” Koko added at the end making me smile.
“I was only teasing you sport, and I’m sure you will get to continue with your gymnastics. As for the other thing I knew what you meant. I think your suggestion is a good idea…you know about eating healthier. Do you think you can help me with shopping for those kinds of food items…you know the organic stuff. I used to play sports too so know how important eating properly is when we train to compete.” I replied as he looked up nodding his head that he’d be more than happy to help out.
“See…I told you that he really did mean it when he told you that it is important to speak up about things.” Tim told the younger boy who blushed nodding his head.
“Talking about speaking up and about things getting settled for Koko, I think the three of us need to discuss what is going on between the two of you.” I began as both boys looked at me, then each other, their faces getting a concerned look on them.
“Don’t worry; I don’t mind what happened between you two. I merely want to talk about taking things more slowly from here on out because like Koko mentioned things are still a bit up in the air regarding him. It concerns me is all that someone could get hurt.” I pointed out noticing how Tim was furling his eyebrows at me while the smaller boy looked down nervously at his plate.
It was Tim who spoke up. “I don’t understand Uncle Will. I mean it’s not like we are probably going to do this again. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed what happened between me and Koko, but you know I’m into girls. This was something that…uh…you know…sort of happened. It was really sweet and all, but Koko is more like a brother to me than…you know.” Tim pointed out a bit baffled.
“I mean for real Uncle Will…I…um…really care about Koko…a lot…but we even talked about it last night with each other, and agree that we are more like brothers than anything else. Right Koko?” He asked turning his attention to the younger boy who all of a sudden gazed up looking a bit out of it for a split second.
It was as if he had been somewhere else deep in thought. “What…oh…yeah that’s true. We talked about it last night.” Koko admitted as he smiled bravely.
It seemed as if he was holding something back, but I didn’t want to press him about it right now. I got the distinct feeling he was more hurt by this than he was letting on making me realize my instincts from the beginning was dead on. To Tim this had been just a wonderful shared experience of something that had simply happened; whereas, with Koko it seemed a bit deeper. I knew Koko was hurting, but in a way it was better to take care of this issue now versus him getting really hurt by finding out later.
“Um…besides…,” Tim continued looking a bit nervous now as he glanced sideways at Koko as if he was ashamed about something. “I…um…well…I kind of have a girlfriend now.” He finished off his face flushing as he blushed at the admission. “I mean…Uncle Will…you know…I sort of told you about this girl…well…um…after we talked and I got home…well…I sort of called her up…and…you know?” He shrugged his shoulders while I smiled happy for the older boy.
“That’s really great Tim…your first girlfriend and all.” I told him sincerely, but noticing a hurt expression on Koko’s features for a moment before he seemed to compose himself smiling as well.
“Yeah…um…great Tim…but girls…yuk.” Koko added seriously as Tim and I looked at one another before cracking up laughing at the innocent comment while the smaller boy looked at us wondering what was so funny.
“Well…believe me Koko…you will think a little differently in a year or two. I mean I felt the same way about girls up until a couple of months ago and then…bam…it just sort of happened…you know. I guess all of a sudden for me I just looked at them differently. Most of my other friends have been into girls for a while now, so I guess I’m a bit of a late bloomer in that area of things. Please don’t be mad at me Koko because…um…you know…the two of us…it really was special for me…you know.” Tim whispered glancing my way blushing at how he was talking about something so intimate between him and Koko in front of me.
The smaller boy looked hurt, but seemed to conceal it well enough as he nodded at Tim. “I know…besides, like we talked about last night…you know…like brothers.” Koko whispered making Tim feel better about what had happened between the two of them as a sort of silence settled around the table for a few moments.
“Um…Uncle Will?” Tim spoke up breaking the awkwardness of the moment.
“Yeah?” I mumbled feeling bad for Koko at what he must be feeling at the moment.
“Do you think it would be alright for me to head home? I mean our house is kind of a mess…you know…with everything going on lately. Mom’s been working longer hours since you are on vacation.” He stated and added really quickly, “I mean she doesn’t mind and all…just that I thought it would be nice if I got the house all cleaned up for her before she came home today.” He finished off wanting to do something nice for his mom.
“Oh…yeah sure I don’t see why not. I’ll give you a ride home.” I offered as he shook his head.
“Nah…it’s alright…I’ll just take the bus like I always do.” He stated getting up embracing me warmly before heading to the room so he could change.
Koko hesitated a moment before getting up too giving me a quick hug following Tim into the room. I could hear the two boys talking softly in private for a while before the older boy came sauntering out dressed in a pair of jean shorts, and a blue jersey shirt with the Nike swoosh logo across his chest. I had to admit he really was looking sexier these days with a sort of air about him lately which exuded a kind of confidence. I knew it wasn’t because of his first excursion of a true sexual interaction with another person, but rather it was almost as if he was finally coming to terms with who he was going to grow up to be someday. I suppose he was at that point in time during his teenage years where he was finally finding his place in the world. Of course there would still be bumps in the road along the way, but he was finally figuring out where he sort of belonged in the bigger scheme of things. It made me proud to see him getting comfortable with the next chapter in his life.
Tim gave me another warm hug with me promising to bring his things over when I picked up his mom at the airport later. This way he wouldn’t have to drag it with him on the bus. When the older boy turned towards Koko, the smaller boy literally leapt into his arms holding him tight. It surprised the older boy at first as he glanced towards me before he leaned over giving his little friend a gentle kiss on the top of his head.
“I love you little man…and that will never change…I promise.” Tim whispered softly as Koko looked up nodding his head.
“Promise for real?” Koko whispered back as Tim grinned at the smaller boy nodding his head.
“I promise for real Koko…that won’t ever change. No matter what else happens…we will always be like brothers…closer even…just like we talked about last night, and just now in the room. Alright?” He asked his little partner who nodded his head, let go, and wiping away the tears with the back of his hand ran into his room.
Tim looked up at me a bit baffled. “I…um…I’m real sorry Uncle Will. I didn’t realize how…you know…that Koko would be so upset about what happened. I mean…for real Uncle Will…it was very special…and maybe if things would have happened sooner it would be different…but…I…,” Tim shook his head sadly at me while I pulled him into my embrace gently rubbing his back.
“It’s alright Tim. Occasionally timing just sucks…but you can’t look at it that way. What the two of you shared together was something beautiful so don’t let that moment become something bad between you two. Like most boys…your heart has moved on in a different direction. I can see how much you really do love Koko…but your love for him is different than what he is feeling for you. Don’t worry Tim…he understands and doesn’t hate you. It just hurts him is all. He’s been going through a tough time lately…but he cares for you deeply Tim. That won’t ever change so don’t feel bad about what happened. Koko will deal with it in his own way, and the two of you will move on from here. Just be a little patient.” I whispered to the older boy my heart breaking for both him and Koko.
After Tim left I was tempted to go into Koko’s room, but decided to leave him alone for now. Instead I cleaned up the dishes from breakfast before heading into my own room flipping on the computer to get some work done. It seemed like I had just begun working on the paperwork regarding the new contract when I looked up at the clock realizing a couple of hours had slipped away. I hadn’t heard anything from Koko as I turned off the computer so I could go check up on the smaller boy.
Peaking inside his room I knocked lightly on the open door. “Hey Uncle Will.” Koko looked up from his bed.
He was laying back on his bed watching a show on the television set. He was still in his pajama bottoms trying to give me a smile as I sat down next to him on the bed.
“Hey little man…how are you doing?” I asked as he shrugged his shoulders. Sighing, I leaned back next to him on the bed putting my arm around his shoulder pulling him towards me. “I’m so sorry Koko.” I hugged him to me while he merely looked up, smiled, and nodded his head.
“Daddy told me that some day this could happen…you know…fall in love, but it not working out.” He sniffled a little trying bravely not to cry as he curled up in my arms. “It sort of happened to him too…you know…with the first boy he fell in love with, but then after about a year it sort of worked out differently for him. I suppose it will for me too.” He smiled meekly at me as he cuddled up laying his head on my chest getting more comfortable. “Don’t worry Uncle Will I’ll be alright…I mean…Tim will still be around and all…that’s more than how it was for my daddy.” He told me cryptically as I nodded my head knowing full well what had happened, but listened anyway as he told me all about it.
Even though I knew what had happened it was still nice to simply listen to him talk about his dad. It made me smile knowing the two of them had such a close connection. I suppose our experiences together as kids were in a way touching Koko’s own life now too as he made his way through the trials and tribulations of boyhood. We talked for a long time together, and it somehow felt natural for me to hold him in my arms in a loving caring way.
After a while we both fell silent as a sort of somber mood enveloped both of us. “Sounds like your daddy was a wonderful man.” I whispered softly to him as I ran my hand up and down his arm.
“Yeah…he was and I miss him…but…,” He began before getting silent making me look down at him.
“But what?” I pressed.
“Nothing…just that even though he’s gone…he really isn’t…you know what I mean?” He replied smiling up at me as I nodded my head.
“I suppose…so what do you think he’d tell you now?” I asked Koko who shrugged his shoulders.
“Probably tell me to stop moping about.” He responded easily making me smile as I reacted in my own way when I all of a sudden attacked tickling him all over.
It surprised me how he immediately perked up. When my hands began harassing him from all angles I began to notice how he had the same exact tickle spots as his dad while he squirmed and screamed. He was laughing so hard that it didn’t surprise me when he popped an erection. Without thinking I reached down and in one smooth motion tugged his pajama bottoms off of him leaving him lying on his back completely naked and giggling without a care in the world.
We settled down with him chuckling looking up at me his brown puppy dog eyes sparkling with mirth. “Um…oops…sorry…,” I chuckled a bit embarrassed about stripping him naked like that, but he didn’t seem to mind as he tugged subconsciously on his hard one and a half inch erection shrugging his shoulders.
He sat up gazing down between his legs at his little boy erection pulling back the foreskin briefly to take a look at his slicked up knob while I watched still amazed at how tight it looked on him. “I guess this means I should get up and dressed.” Koko laughed as he let the skin slip back over his knob before scooting off to the side of the bed.
My eyes scrutinized his lithe sleek athletic body closely as he got up heading towards his dresser drawer. I had to smile as I watched him glide across the floor with a smooth cat like gate. Getting up myself I walked up behind him wrapping my arms around his naked body shivering at the intermingled light soapy musky boy scent wafting up to my nose reminding me of how his father had smelled at his age.
“You amaze me Koko.” I whispered softly in his ear as he leaned back into my arms. “I just wanted you to know that.” I told him softly as my fingers ran lightly down his chest towards his stomach dipping down a bit too low because my hand brushed up against his hard erection making him twitch a second at the innocent contact.
The incidental touch wasn’t in a sexual way or anything, but I could feel his hard erection brushing up against the back of my hand briefly. I heard him giggling and I simply couldn’t resist as I gave him a quick grope squeezing his little boy baubles in a playful way. I quickly released the teasing grope having the intended effect of making him jump and yelp in surprise before he began giggling happily not in the least bit concerned about it.
To be honest it made me wonder if his own dad goofed around with him like this. The two of us sure did plenty of times. Sure we were sexually involved with one another, but there were plenty of times when we goofed around playfully like this without it being a sexual thing in nature. From the sounds of things it appeared as if there were plenty of these sorts of displays between father and son as well. Koko settled down placing his hands on top of my arms as he pressed them tightly forcing me give him a big hug as I leaned down kissing the top of his head before releasing him. Ruffling his hair the smaller boy simply turned around before reaching around my waist with his arms giving me a warm heartfelt hug.
“Thanks Uncle Will…that means a lot to me.” He smirked looking up at me before stepping back and releasing me not in the least bit ashamed about the display of affection between the two of us here in private.
Leaving Koko alone to get dressed I walked out into the kitchen. A few moments later he came sauntering into the kitchen looking a lot more perky, and most definitely cute as the dickens dressed in a pair of royal blue colored plaid shorts with red accents. He had slipped on a matching royal blue colored short sleeved athletic type of shirt that was perfect for the warmer weather. He looked so adorably sweet, and I had to admit I liked how blue looked on him complimenting his darker features. I smiled at him ruffling his hair as he helped me with lunch. We cleaned up afterwards heading out the door to the airport.
We picked up Mary at the airport and were making our way towards her house when she looked back at Koko and smiled. “Hey kido…I hope Tim took good care of you?” She asked to get a conversation going.
“Oh sure…he took reeeally good care of me like I was a part of him.” Koko giggled while I nearly chocked knowing exactly what the boy was referring to.
Mary looked at me a bit funny while I tried to change the subject. “Um…well I looked over the contract Mary and I already sent it off to the office. You did a really good job with it, and I didn’t see any objections so I’m sure it will all be squared away here in short order. It will also mean a good start with Tim’s scholarship fund.” I told her as she smiled at me a bit reassured about the news.
“That’s a relief Will. I was a bit worried about it, not to mention still stunned how you simply left me there to hash out the deal.” She admitted to me while I looked at her scrunching up my eyebrows.
“Listen Mary…you are more than able to take care of these types of things. We make a good team. Just because you don’t have a degree or anything doesn’t mean you can’t get the job done. I want to start getting you more involved like this…that is if you feel comfortable enough with it?” I asked her as she looked back at me.
“Yeah…sure I guess Will…I mean if you trust me and all.” She responded seemingly happy with the development.
“Um…that reminds me Mary. I wanted to talk to you about Tim. I mean…after this week I am going back to work, but I can’t leave Koko alone at home. Let’s face it he’s sort of at that age where he doesn’t need supervision, but legally I have to make sure someone responsible is over just in case. Tim is legal age wise to supervise Koko during the day.” I stated trying to make sure I didn’t make Koko think he couldn’t take care of himself as I glanced in the rearview mirror noticing how he had become attentive at the direction of the conversation.
“I was thinking that since I usually go to work early that you can drop Tim off at the house before coming in at your usual time. I’d be willing to pay Tim to stay with Koko during the day making sure to be back in time before he has to go to Lacrosse practice, or at least be there shortly after he leaves. I’m sure he’d love to make some extra pocket money over the summer, and I’m sure Koko would like to have someone to hang out with. What do you think?” I asked her seeing Koko in my rear view mirror sort of perk up at the idea of Tim staying with him when I went back to work.
It got a little quiet for a few moments as Mary digested the information. I could tell she was mulling it over in her mind so didn’t want to interfere with her reasoning one way or the other. I was fairly certain she wouldn’t object, yet also knew for her it was another stepping stone of her son growing up and being more responsible.
Finally it appeared as if she had come to a decision as she nodded her head looking at me. “Sure Will…actually I think it would be great for him. Other than Lacrosse he usually doesn’t have much else to do. I mean sometimes he hangs out with some of his friends and all, but to be honest I think he’s bored most of the time. At least over by you there is the community center and other places for kids to hang out, not to mention the pool. He loves to swim.” She responded sounding happy with the arrangement.
“Good then it’s settled…other than the fact we just need to tell him no girlfriends at the house when no one is around.” I chuckled getting a glare from Mary as her jaw dropped to her chest.
“What…I mean why…um…when did all of this happen?” She finally managed to get out while I laughed.
“It’s no laughing matter young man.” Mary huffed, but smiled shaking her head. “Just wait until you have a family of your own.” She teased making me smile.
“Listen Mary I’m simply letting you know because I figure Tim is probably having a tough time trying to find a way to tell you is all. You know how it is…I mean…boys and moms…with this sort of girlfriends stuff. To be honest I was kind of surprised he told me…but you know?” I shrugged my shoulder as she grinned at me before reaching out patting the back of my hand in a kind gesture.
“No…I understand Will, and to be honest I’m glad he is able to confide in you with this sort of thing. Don’t worry I won’t make a big deal of it, but I’ll let him know you mentioned girls being off limits at the house while you are gone.” She chuckled shaking her head before sighing. “They grow up so fast Will. I don’t know where the time goes, but soon he will be off to college, then maybe marriage and kids of his own.”
“Yeah…well you should be proud Mary because he’s growing up into a fine young man all because of you.” I assured her looking in the rear view mirror noticing Koko listening to the exchange, but remaining quiet.
By the time Koko and I got back home after dropping off Mary, and visiting for a few minutes, it was early afternoon. Tim’s mom was surprised to find her house all clean and tidied up making sure to let her son know how thankful she was for him being so thoughtful. We talked for a few minutes with Tim getting excited about coming over and hanging out with Koko when I returned to work. In short order we had all the details worked out with him blushing at the mention of no girls allowed at the house while he was alone.
Walking through our front door I set down the keys on the countertop noticing some movement outside in the garden couryard. It was Arty puttering around a bit tidying up, but looking a bit down in the dumps as well. Koko followed me out onto the patio area, and Arturo gazed up nodding his head in greeting.
“Hey Mr. Will, I thought I’d come over to check over the garden in case anything needs to be taken care of.” He stated stopping what he was doing to wipe away the sweat from his brow before giving Koko a knuckle bump by way of greeting.
Arturo had stripped off his shirt, and his body glistened damply from perspiration. He had such a nice tanned firm body, and I noticed Koko checking him out more closely. I tried not to laugh when I saw him reach down subconsciously adjusting himself while he checked out the older boy’s sleek firm body. It wouldn’t surprise me if Koko’s nether regions were beginning to tingle because mine sure was at the sexy boy standing in front of us. I suppose the younger boy was getting over Tim rather quickly now that Arturo was standing there looking cute in a pair of red silky like athletic shorts that we had brought back for him the other day. A small breeze rippled across the open courtyard pressing the silken fabric against Arty’s legs accentuating the young boy’s bulge.
“No problem Arty. I have to say you’ve been doing a bang up job out here. I know your dad would have been proud of you. I know your mom is you know. She wanted me to keep her informed of your work telling me she’s very happy that you’ve been taking such good care of it Arturo, and I’m very proud of you as well.” I told him while he smiled standing up a bit straighter proud of the compliment.
“Thanks Mr. Will. It makes me happy when I’m up here. You know papa used to come up here all the time when he was feeling a bit in the dumps, and now I know why.” He sighed as he looked around at the garden his gaze finally settling on the open space in the distance.
“It’s nice and quiet up here…and just…I don’t know…kind of special. Sometimes when I work I can sort of hear papa…you know…not for real…but just what he would say if he were around. It makes me happy to know I can come somewhere when I need to get away and think.” The boy stated turning towards us blushing when he realized he had said too much.
“It makes me happy too Arty…but is something wrong? I mean…it looks like something is bothering you.” I asked him a bit concerned now as he tried to wave it off. “Come on Arty…you can tell us if something is bothering you. I’m sure Koko won’t say anything to anyone. You know the two of you share a lot of things in common so if there is anyone who can understand how you are feeling about your dad he sure enough can.” I added motioning for Arturo to take a seat in the shade.
He hesitated a moment before nodding his head taking a seat while Koko and I joined him. “It’s really not about my dad Mr. Will…just that mom is kind of upset and beside herself not knowing what to do.” He began while Koko and I looked at each other completely lost. “You haven’t heard?” Arty asked us noticing our confused look. “Oh…I guess you probably wouldn’t have heard yet since you’ve been gone and the community center is a few blocks away from here.” He sighed shaking his head making me curious now.
“What happened Arty?” Koko asked seemingly concerned for his friend.
“Um…well you know we are celebrating my sister’s Quinceanera on Saturday.” He began noticing Koko’s confusion. “Um…I guess you don’t know what that is do you?” He asked the smaller boy who shook his head no, but encouraged his friend to tell him.
“The quinceanera is one of the most important celebrations in a Mexican culture. It’s a ceremony held on a girl’s fifteenth birthday to mark her passage to womanhood, to give thanks to God for his blessings, and to present a young woman to the community. I guess you can think of the festival as a sort of combined “sweet sixteen” birthday party, and a coming out ball for debutantes…you know those high society types of girls.
In Mexican communities, the quinceanera serves not only to honor the young woman for her maturity, but also the girl’s parents and family, as well as her padrinos or godparents. The godparents, and her mother and father play important roles throughout the ceremonies. Most societies have rituals signifying a passage to adulthood for both women and men, but the quinceanera is very distinctive. Back in the old days a girl’s fifteenth birthday would mean that she was an active, adult member of the community, fully ready to take on her share of responsibilities, and indicated that she was of marriageable age and status. Any more though the tradition is a bit different now, but still remains a celebration of womanhood, family and community.
The young woman’s fifteenth birthday begins with a Misa de accion de gracias, or mass to give thanks for a completed childhood. The festejada, or adolescent woman celebrating the birthday, is seated at the foot of the church altar resplendent in an elaborate pink or white formal dress. The godparents have bestowed her with special gifts, often jewelry to accent the beautiful dress. Around the celebrant are seated her damas…maids of honor and chamberlains…escorts. Often, these are siblings, relatives or friends of the family. They are grouped in order of the different ages the young woman has completed. The mass combines a solemn ceremony similar to baptism welcoming the festejada to her new life and challenges ahead as an adult. After the mass, the young woman leaves a bouquet of flowers to the Virgen de Guadalupe. Her female siblings, cousins and friends distribute bolos, special gifts of remembrance to the guests assembled in the church. After the Misa de accion de gracias has concluded, lots of photographs are made to distribute to everyone, and it’s time for the party!
At the party presents are often given to help the birthday girl in her transitions to school, social life, or work. The party is a big affair, traditionally lasting for six hours. The parents, godparents, and often other families go all-out to make the party an absolutely over-the-top experience. A central component is the cake, which vies with the girl’s quinceanera gown in its marvelous decoration. The dimensions of the cake are customarily immense. There is dancing, a live band, and plenty of pop, contemporary dance music, cumbia, banda, salsa, and older songs for both young and old guests. The festejada traditionally opens the party officially by dancing a waltz with her father or primary escort. A formal dinner is featured at the party as well. There is also a brindis or toast, in which people remark on the celebrant with pride and fond memories of her youth. This is also the occasion when the parents impart special messages, transferring wisdom and life-experience to their daughter.” Arturo explained with pride almost like he was reciting all this from memory as he offered up Koko an explanation to this part of his culture.
“Sounds cool Arty, but what’s the problem. I mean…is it because your father won’t be around for the important role that dad’s fill in his daughter’s…um…quince…um….”
“Quinceanera.” Arturo finished off for Koko. “No…I mean…yes…that is part of it and mom doesn’t know who she is going to have fill in for papa…I’m thinking one of my uncles…you know one of papa’s brothers.” He paused as his mind seemed to wander in thought before coming back to the moment.
“That isn’t the main reason though. You see someone trashed the community center where we were going to hold the party. They started a fire and spray painted nasty vile things about Hispanics. Almost as if they knew we were going to be having a party there for my sister this weekend. It is the only place mom could afford that would hold all the people. Papa had been saving money for years for all of my sisters, but we have to budget things now since we aren’t making as much money. It is very difficult and mom is beside herself not knowing what to do now because there is just too much damage.” Arturo stated as tears began to trickle down his cheeks truly hurt for his sister.
“It just isn’t fair because my sister deserves to have a nice quinceanera celebration.” He began to cry trying to choke back the tears unsuccessfully.
Koko immediately reached out to his friend sympathetically while I scooted over as well taking the boy in my arms. “Arty why didn’t your mom tell me she was having so much problems with the party?” I asked him as he just shook his head.
“She doesn’t want to bother anyone else Mr. Will. It is our responsibility to take care of our own family. Mom is very proud you know.” He stated wiping away the tears with the back of his hand.
“Yes…that’s true Arturo, but I feel a little put off you know.” I stated firmly getting Arty’s attention now as his eyes got really big.
“I don’t understand Mr. Will. We didn’t mean to offend you. I mean…you know you are invited to the celebration. You are like family to us.” He replied a little frightened now that maybe his mom had forgotten to invite me.
“That’s exactly right. I thought we were family, and didn’t you just say family is supposed to take care of their own. I won’t have it anymore…being treated like some common stranger. Koko…I want you to go to your room and get changed into your swim trunks. Arty…no more working in the garden today…instead…you are going to join Koko and have some fun in the pool. Koko’s had a rough day too, and I think it is time the two of you have a bit of fun.” I snapped at them standing up catching Arturo by surprise.
“Mr. Will…I…um…please don’t be upset.” Arturo stated a bit taken by surprise at my outburst.
“Upset…well…that is for me and your mother to work out. While you two go swimming I will be talking with your mother about how I’ve been so unfairly treated as if I were some common stranger. Hell…for that matter she would treat a stranger better.” I stated crossing my arms as it began to sink in to Arty what I was up to.
“How dare she have this party in some common rinky dink community center instead of having it here in this beautiful garden? After all…it is your family’s garden too. Everywhere I look I see your father, and now a bit of you as well. What more fitting place to host a party for your sister’s important day.” I finished off noticing Arty smiling broadly while Koko sort of shuffled his feet around nervously while looking at the pool.
Arturo saw Koko hesitating, and scrunched up his eyebrows. “You don’t want to go swimming? I mean if you want to do something else we can?” He offered up looking longingly at the cool crystal clear pool with the nice little waterfall and everything.
Koko shrugged glancing over towards the pool. “Um…I guess we can…well…if we stay in the shallow end.” He offered up blushing now as it finally dawned on me that he didn’t know how to swim.
“Oh…sorry Koko. Why didn’t you tell me that you didn’t know how to swim?” I offered up as he shrugged his shoulders again making me roll my eyes while he looked down a bit mortified that at his age he couldn’t swim.
Arty came to his rescue though waving me off. “Don’t worry Mr. Will. You just go yell at mom really good like for disrespecting you. After all she’s never wrong you know, so it should make things interesting. He stated seriously as I tried to stifle a laugh behind my hand at the comment about his mom never being wrong.
“I’ll take care of Koko. I know how to teach someone to swim. I taught my little cousin last year the same way papa taught me how to swim. By the time the party comes around Koko will be swimming like a champ. Come-on Koko let’s find your swim trunks.” The twelve year old urged his younger friend grabbing him by the hand pulling him towards the house.
“You really think you can teach me to swim?” Koko asked a bit skeptically as he intertwined his fingers with Arturo’s not in the least bit concerned he was holding another boy’s hand.
“Sure…it really isn’t all that difficult once you know some of the tricks. The biggest hurdle all the time is just being afraid of sinking. So the first thing I will teach you is how to float. After that it’s only about moving your arms and legs in the proper way. Just like walking, riding a bike, skateboarding, or anything else. It only takes a little practice and voila…you are good to go.” Arturo stated casually as if there was no big deal to it at all.
Watching the two of them together like that holding hands made me smile. There just seemed to be this sort of link between them. It reminded me of that instant bond I had with Koko’s dad. Despite the obvious differences there was this sort of connection I felt with him, and I could see the same thing between these two boys. I know Koko had fallen for Tim, but I could tell that with Arturo it appeared to be a bit different, somehow more. I only hoped that the two of them would see it as well allowing their friendship to blossom. Of course that doesn’t mean it had to be sexual in any way, but just something unique and special.
While I was on the phone with Arty’s mom, Elena, telling her how offended I was that she wasn’t going to be holding the quinceanera party for her daughter in the garden that her husband and son made so beautiful; I watched the two boys in the pool. Koko had slipped into his blue and green pair of polyester Boys’ Husky Colorblocked pieced swim trunks with the net lining. He looked so cute in them, and it dawned on me that he must have slipped into them with Arturo in the room. I knew the way Koko felt about that sort of thing getting undressed in front of the other boy probably wouldn’t even faze him, but I smiled wondering what Arty’s reaction must have been when the younger boy simply stripped naked in front of him. Not that Koko had all that much between his legs, but I’m sure Arty’s never seen another boy stripping in front of him, at least not at their age. Things tend to change when they reach a certain age regarding their state of undress.
Currently Koko was on his back with Arturo teaching him how to float. I noticed the older boy’s eyes continuously wandering over Koko’s tanned sleek body and small little boy bulge making me smile knowingly. Even from the window I could see Koko sporting a bit of an erection probably due to the close contact with Arturo who kept on bumping into him. The older boy’s hands were beneath the smaller boy keeping him afloat, and he would release Koko letting his lower body dip down below the water as his legs floated downwards in the typical way when someone tries to float. After all the upper body tends to remain buoyed because all the air is in the lungs; whereas, the legs would float downwards being a bit heavier.
After Koko’s legs floated downwards Arturo would reach below the younger boy’s bottom lifting him back up. I noticed he tended to always make sure that Koko’s crotch area lifted just above the water level. Even from inside the house I could see how the wet fabric clung around Koko’s privates accentuating the small semi-hard outline of the boy’s penis along with two small little lumps from his testicles. In a way watching the two of them interact this way was very sexy, and I could feel my own manly bits begin to stir between my legs from the sultry nature of the boys’ interplay.
Smiling at the scene unfolding in front of me I assured Elena that there would be no problems with holding her daughter’s quinceanera party over here. When she asked after Arturo I told her he was currently enjoying a swim in the pool. She of course was a little upset saying she had given him permission to come over so he could work in the garden not play in the pool. I assured her he had finished up with his work so was now helping me out with Koko. I explained to her that the younger boy didn’t know how to swim so Arturo had kindly offered to teach him since he taught his cousin last year.
Since he was helping out like this she felt it was alright, and I even convinced her to let Arturo stay for dinner with us pointing out the two boys would probably be working up a big appetite. She agreed, but only if I allowed Koko to come over at times as well. Of course I didn’t have any problem with this knowing what a fantastic cook she was, and also knowing that as a parent she wanted to get to know her child’s new friends.
By the time I hung up the phone with Arturo’s mom turning my attention back to the boys a pretty big stretch of time had passed us by. Looking out the window I chuckled noticing that Koko was now being supported by Arturo while on his stomach. All of a sudden the smaller boy seemed to jerk and giggle. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Arturo had slipped his hand between one of the leg openings of Koko’s swim trunks fondling the younger boy’s little ornaments. Surprisingly this had turned into something more than a simple swim lesson for the boys.
Koko squirmed for a few moments before settling down getting a dreamy look on his face. Arturo made his way over towards the edge of the pool where I could see Koko placing his arms over the side of the pool laying his head on his folded arms. The boy’s chest settled on the paving while his body from the chest down remained in the water. Arturo still had his hand beneath Koko, and I could tell he was masturbating the younger boy even though I couldn’t actually see him doing it to him. Koko’s swim trunks on his left leg was shoved upwards making me realize he must have slipped the younger boy’s penis and boy bag through the leg opening freeing up his small package just like a kid would if he were taking a piss. Instead of pulling the front of his shorts down, he had shoved the leg opening upwards pulling out the smaller boy’s package.
Suddenly Koko voice squeaked with his body trembling as his orgasm rippled through his tiny frame. Arturo’s expression was priceless once he understood that he had made another boy orgasm. His whole face had lit up grinning from ear to ear as he realized that he had just pleasured another boy. I knew it was the first time the older boy had actually done anything sexual with someone else. A few moments later a very happy content Koko began to stir as he reached over giving Arturo a big hug wrapping his legs around the older boy’s waist and his arms around his neck. I could hear his voice carry though the open window as Arty held on to the boy in the water.
“Thanks Arty…um…that was really nice…you know…the swim lesson.” Koko giggled making Arty laugh as well.
“So you like the way I teach someone to swim?” The older boy giggled back teasingly.
“Yeah…it’s like magic.” Koko chuckled shaking his head. “Do you give everyone lessons like this, or just special cases?” He teased the older boy who leaned up against the side of the pool next to his younger friend after releasing him.
“No…actually…this is the first time I tried this method. I…um…I’ve never done anything like that before…you know. I mean…you didn’t mind…you know…me touching you like that?” Arturo asked his friend seemingly getting a bit shy about what he had just done.
“No…it was kind of…uh…nice…um…maybe…we can…uh…you know…maybe I can do that for you sometime?” Koko asked hopefully as Arty looked sideways at him blushing.
“Um…yeah…maybe?” Arty responded looking a bit embarrassed about it now.
“Would it be alright…if I…you know?” Koko asked noticing Arturo sort of glancing towards the house.
From where they were I knew he couldn’t see inside because of the curtains I had hanging up. From the outside the lacy curtains sort of prevented people from seeing inside the house even though it didn’t hinder me from looking out.
“Um…it’s alright if you don’t want to…I…um…still enjoyed what you did for me.” Koko added not wanting to put any pressure on his friend.
“No…um…it’s not that. I mean…I…uh…I’ve never done anything like this with another boy or anything.” He stated with Koko nodding his head.
“Oh…I see. It’s cool if you don’t think boys should be doing this sort of thing with each other…I understand.” Koko replied smiling reassuringly at his new friend hoping this wouldn’t mess up their friendship somehow.
“No…that’s not what I meant Koko. I mean…it’s just…I…um…I’ve never done this sort of thing with anyone else period. I guess I’m alright with it…just…I… well I’m bigger…I mean I don’t mean bigger…you know…down there…I mean I am…but crap this isn’t coming out right.” Arturo grimaced trying to get his thoughts together feeling all out of sorts.
Koko reached out placing his hand on his friend’s arm. “Just take a deep breath and tell me slowly. I won’t be upset or anything Arty…I mean I really like you no matter what. I just don’t want to ruin our friendship because of this.” The smaller boy smiled encouragingly at his new friend.
“No Koko of course not. I like you too and think maybe this could be something kind of fun to try out together…you know. Just…I…um…I think maybe we should do this sort of thing slowly. My papa always said that when a boy gets ready to do that sort of thing he should think with his head and heart, not his…you know…penis. Also Koko I’m a little older…you know?” He emphasized making Koko nod his head.
“I know you are older, but only a little, not even a whole year. Me being younger than you makes it different for you?” Koko asked sadly thinking it was because of the age difference between them holding things back now.
Arturo leaned in kissing Koko on the cheek making both boys blush. “No…that’s not it either Koko.” Arturo giggled. “I think I like you too. No what I mean is that for several months now…uh…well I’ve been able to…you know…squirt now for a while and…uh…what if I do that here in the pool?” He giggled looking towards the house now while Koko finally understood giggling too.
“I don’t know…I mean do you squirt like a lot? Geeze Arturo that’s kind of cool…you know…being able to shoot and all. I can’t wait to see you do that. I wish I spewed already, but daddy told me it probably wouldn’t happen until I was twelve or thirteen. At least it didn’t happen for him until then.” He finished as both boys looked at one another giggling like two little girls with a big secret. “Would it be alright…you know…if I touched you…down there?” Koko asked his friend who shrugged his shoulders turning towards the smaller boy.
The younger boy reached down shoving his hand beneath Arturo’s shorts smiling. “Wow…it’s like kinda big…thin, but definitely way bigger than mine and you’ve got some hairs too. Oh…no way…you still have your…um…you know skin too. Does it pull back all the way?” Koko stated when Arturo all of a sudden grabbed the other boy’s wrist pulling his hand out from beneath his shorts. “Are you alright?” Koko asked while Arty nodded his head.
“Yeah…that was close…you know…when you tried to skin me…I almost.” He retorted sending both boys into a fit of laughter. “Shit Koko that felt too intense with you touching me like that. I never knew something could feel so good that fast.” He continued to laugh.
“Yeah…I’m sure you would have made a mess of things for sure.” Koko hooted shaking his head. “I think its way cool too that you are like me down there, but maybe sometimes it is better not being able to squirt yet.” He teased his older friend. “Damn Arty you’re probably going to end up with blue balls for sure.” He barked while the other boy merely looked at him, and then downwards trying to look beneath the surface of the water as he pulled the waist band from his shorts outwards trying to see what the smaller boy meant by that statement.
“Blue balls…what’s that?” He asked still looking down beneath the surface of the water trying to get a good look at his balls before looking up at the younger boy who began to crack up again.
“I didn’t mean it literally you silly ninny.” The younger boy giggled shaking his head at his older friend realizing that even though the boy was a year older there were still some things he knew about that the other boy didn’t.
Koko explained to Arturo what he meant by blue balls making the other boy cringe admitting that he was already feeling it happening. Koko laughed again when Arturo asked him if this would damage his goods somehow. By the smaller boy’s reaction Arty sensed that he wasn’t in any danger laughing as well waiting for his friend’s response. The younger boy told him that the best way to relieve the aching feeling was to jack off until he squirted, which seemed to make the older boy feel better about the awkward situation.
The two of them talked for a while longer before Arturo reached out noticing Koko’s small medallion around his neck. “Do you like it?” Koko asked his friend smiling knowingly.
“Yeah…it’s really nice…but why Saint Sebastian? I mean Papa told me he is the Patron Saint of Gardeners. He always carried a card with the image of the saint on it with his garden tools.”
“Oh cool…um…well I guess he’s mainly known as the Patron Saint of Athletes, rarely as the Patron Saint of Gardeners. See I’ve got an image of gymnastics on the other side.” Koko pointed out showing his friend who scrunched up his eyebrows looking back questioningly.
“Gymnastics?” He simply inquired.
“Yeah, daddy used to teach gymnastics. I used to compete too, but lately I haven’t been able to…you know…with everything going on.”
“Oh cool.” Arturo smiled taking a closer look at the silver medallion.
The two boys chatted for another couple of minutes before I made my way out to the side of the pool informing them I had ordered pizza for us all. Koko of course looked at me meaningfully, but I told him that since he had worked so hard with learning how to swim that maybe a pizza was called for in this case instead of taking the time to prepare something healthier. After I told him that Arturo would be staying for dinner before going home he seemed to think it a good idea after all.
As both boys pulled themselves out of the pool I handed them their towels. As I handed Arty his he paused a moment noticing the small box sitting on top of the folded towel.
“What’s this?” He asked while Koko and I looked at each other smiling.
“Just something I brought back for you from my trip.” I responded while Arty looked at me a bit confused.
“For me…I mean…um…why would you bring me back something from your trip?” He asked his voice catching in his throat.
“Because you are special to me just like Koko and Tim. I brought each of them back something too, and since you’ve been so helpful with getting my garden back in order I only thought it appropriate when I came across this little item. Go ahead and open it up.” I suggested as he draped the towel over his shoulders as water continued to dribble off his sleek form to puddle around his feet.
Slowly he opened up the box holding up the medallion as he looked at both sides closely. He seemed completely stunned and spell bound realizing it was similar to Koko’s except the reverse side on his had a garden scene. Tears began to well up in his eyes as he looked at me not knowing what to say.
“I…I…,” he began as his voice cracked all chocked up so he simply ran over to me wrapping his arms around my waist burying his head in my chest while he sobbed.
Koko stood silently by his friend’s side tenderly running his hand up and down the boy’s arm and shoulder sympathetically. “It’s alright Arty,” I soothed the older boy as he slowly stepped back wiping away the tears with the back of his hands.
“Sorry…I’m such a blubbering baby.” He chuckled nervously as he hiccupped. “I…um…thank you Mr. Will. I’ll always treasure it.” He whispered softly as he draped the chain over his head allowing it to settle against his chest.
“Yeah…it was way cool of Uncle Will to find something that all three of us would have in common. He got one for Tim too. I think you know Tim…right? Well he plays lacrosse so the image on the other side of his has a lacrosse theme. Kind of weird how your Patron Saint is also one for us too…huh?” He asked Arty who smiled and nodded back.
“Yeah, way cool.” He replied drying himself off as I left the two boys knowing they’d be coming inside soon enough.
Arturo had stayed for dinner, but I told him his mom wanted him to head home right afterwards. I promised that I would talk to her about having a sleepover here with Koko after things were settled down with the party. Arturo glanced over towards the younger boy, and the two of them seemed to blush with anticipation what that night would hold for them. By the time Arty got home an hour or so later, I was sure he was bursting at the seams in dire need to take care of his hormonal needs. I was pretty sure he hopped into the shower right away to get cleaned up taking care of his aching blue balls. This night would probably have him spraying his biggest load yet as he fantasized about Koko.
Recalling the other day when I watched him masturbating his decent sized twelve year old four inch long foreskin covered thin and sleek erection, my own balls began to ache knowing what the boy was likely doing to himself in the shower. I guess he wasn’t going to be the only one unloading his fuel tanks this evening. Shaking my head I realized if there were going to be these young boys around all the time now, I had better get used to being turned on by all the young energy and testosterone in the air.
The rest of the week simply flew by quickly, and before I knew it the quinceanera party was over with. It had been a festive celebration, and Elena, Arturo’s mom seemed to be on cloud nine the entire time as she gushed over her daughter. She had been kept busy of course, but the entire family had pitched in to help out. During the week Arturo had come over practically every day to make sure everything was perfect in the garden before spending time with Koko in the swimming pool.
As the days slipped away and the quinceanera approached it became obviously clear that the two boys were growing fond of one another in that unique kind of way. At times their relationship seemed to flourish as their friendship deepened, while at other times there was that sort of profound connection between the two of them where their love for one another seemed to take root and blossom. I left them alone as much as possible during those times, and when I would glance out through the window watching them playing around in the pool I could see the two of them sort of fooling around with one another in a flirtatious kind of way.
The two boys seemed to take things slowly never again taking it as far as the first time together in the pool, seemingly content to see where things would lead to at the moment. That didn’t stop them from flirting around with one another in a playful kind of way, and I even caught them a time or two embracing one another giving each other a quick kiss on the lips before blushing and giggling about it. To me it seemed as if they were sort of testing the waters with one another.
At night Koko would hop in the shower and from the noises I was hearing it didn’t take a lot of imagination to figure out how he was abusing himself in a good way. I imagined Arty was getting a pretty good workout as well in that regard when he went home getting cleaned up. These days Koko was constantly walking around sporting an erection, but I ignored it not wanting to embarrass him about it. The boy seemed in such high spirits becoming much more outgoing and interactive with others. His attachment to me also deepened, cuddling up with me as we watched television.
Every day his personality seemed to unfold flourishing while his trust in me deepened as he opened up. While this went on I began to notice something else, just little everyday types of things which reminded me more and more of his father. In some ways he was a different person, but he also had a lot of his dad inside of him, and it always made me smile as I fondly recalled those moments I had with his father. As the days seemed to slip away lazily from us, I found myself drawn to him more and more as my own love for the smaller boy seemed to blossom in a deep caring kind of way.
It was the day after the quinceanera with the following morning marking the day I would be heading back into work. Koko had received a call from Arty asking if it was alright to meet up at the ice cream parlor down the street. I didn’t see any harm in it since I was going to be busy today with cleaning up from the party. Elena and several family members had stayed after the party cleaning up most of the mess, but when it started getting really late I told them to leave the rest alone, and I would finish up in the morning. Today it was only little things needing to be put away.
That’s what I was doing outside in the garden when I saw a flash of movement on the other side by the stairs that led down to the street. When I glanced up I noticed it was Koko all in a rush, and something struck me as being a bit off.
“Koko?” I shouted out questioningly a bit confused by his sudden appearance.
The smaller boy heard me and stopped running looking towards where he had heard my voice. “Uncle Will…hurry!” I heard him shouting back towards me as he suddenly sprinted towards me.
Immediately my heart leaped into my throat knowing something was wrong as I dropped the trash bag I was holding running towards him. “Shit…Koko what happened to you?” I gasped out kneeling down in front of him noticing blood all over the front of his shirt and shorts. “Oh my gawd…Koko are you alright?” I asked not really waiting for an answer but immediately lifting up his shirt looking for the source of his blood. “Where are you hurt let me look at you.” I started to panic as I ran my hands over his body looking for any signs of his injury while my heart pounded in my chest.
“Uncle Will it’s not…,” Koko began but was stifled when I crushed his small body into my chest holding him tightly my voice cracking in my throat with emotion.
“Oh Koko are you sure you aren’t hurt…I…I’d just die if something happened to you. Please tell me you are alright and not hurt.” My voice quivered as I held him tightly in my arms rocking him back and forth as I struggled to bring my fear of him being hurt back into control.
Then I heard a faint smothered voice. “Uncle Will…you’re crushing me.” Koko gasped as I suddenly released him holding his face in my hands while I began kissing his sweet adorably cute cheeks, lips, and nose all over.
I don’t know what had gotten into me, but the idea that he was somehow hurt scared the crap out of me. “Koko…are you sure you are alright? Where did all the blood come from? What happened? Please tell me you are alright? I’d just die if something happened to you. I love you too much for that.” I ranted in rapid succession once more running my hands under his shirt and then down his legs even taking a moment to pull the waistband from his shorts outwards looking down between his legs just to be on the safe side.
Koko gawked at me for a moment baffled by my reaction, and then something seemed to change for a split second in his features. It was as if something inside of him sort of shifted and clicked into place as he flung himself at me wrapping his arms around my neck. “Do…do you really mean it…I mean…you…um…really love me?” He asked his question stunning me for a moment as I held him just as tightly as he was holding me.
“Yes of course Koko…you should know that by now. I mean…I know you love me too, but still…,” I paused slowly holding him out from me so I could get a good look at him. “What happened?” I asked a bit more calmly now as Koko’s eyes got real big again once he remembered why he had been in such a rush.
“Come-on Uncle Will.” He shouted grabbing my hand pulling me towards the house. “It’s Tim…um…he got into a fight. I mean…at first this big jerk…um…Jason started to pick on Arty saying all sorts of awful stuff. Then I tried to help, but he was just too big and shoved me away. Then Arty got mad and tried to protect me, but Jason slammed him up against a wall. Then from nowhere Tim showed up getting between this brute shoving him back away from us. That’s when this Jason kid just up and knees Tim in the…um…you know…balls.” Koko paused wincing and shivering at the memory.
“I mean it looked like it hurt really bad even making me flinch. Tim wasn’t expecting it doubling over as the big kid just balled up his fist and came smashing down on poor Tim’s back. That’s when Arty jumped in again trying to help out, but this Jason kid was just too big so shoved him down on to the ground. He looked really crazy…you know…this Jason kid, and he was getting ready to kick the crap out of Arty, but then out of nowhere Tim started to wail on this guy. I don’t know how he managed to get up after getting it in the nuts and taking that pounding, but he did. Anyway…he starts wailing on this big kid with his lacrosse stick. There was blood everywhere and it must have scared the crap out of this Jason kid because he just took off. But Tim’s hurt pretty bad Uncle Will. Arty’s helping him up the elevator…and he’s probably waiting by the front door.”
Koko explained the whole thing to me in one breath as he pulled me towards the house. Once I knew what was going on I hurried to the front door. Just as I reached for the doorknob I heard the banging on the front door. Opening it up Tim nearly collapsed into my arms for support. Arty was holding on to him along with Tim’s sports bag and equipment.
“Oh shit…Tim…are you alright?” I asked as the older boy nodded his head.
“Yeah…I…um…I think so Uncle Will.” He grimaced as I looked him over quickly.
“And you Arty? I asked reaching over patting his cheeks affectionately while he nodded his head too.
“Yes Mr. Will, I’m fine but Tim is the one who got it really bad. I don’t know how he managed to get back up…but if he hadn’t I’d be dead for sure. Please tell me Tim will be alright?” He asked me as I nodded to him reassuringly before focusing my attention back to the older boy.
Most of the blood must have been Jason’s because it didn’t look like Tim was bleeding or anything. The older boy was stooped over a little wincing in pain. I’ve been nailed in the balls on occasion too as I was growing up, and usually the initial pain is horrible, but then sort of ebbs away getting better. Tim still seemed to be in pain though so I hoped nothing horribly had happened down there.
“Um…I heard Jason got you pretty good…um…you know…uh…in the balls. Are…do you need to go check and see if they are…um…swollen or something?” I asked him as Tim gawked at me for a second looking a bit worried.
“I…uh…I don’t know Uncle Will. Um…do you think that maybe…uh…I’m kind of afraid to check. I mean he got me really good and my whole insides hurt. I’m not sure, but I might have even puked.” He stated looking at me making me even more worried because that’s never happened to me. “Um…maybe you can…you know…take a look for me?” He asked a tad embarrassed by it, but still also a bit too afraid to look himself.
“Um…yeah…I guess I can do that.” I told him as I watched him unbutton his cargo shorts pulling them down along with his white fruit of the looms boy’s briefs.
He placed his hands on my shoulder for support standing in front of me looking away biting his lower lip nervously. Koko and Arturo gawked at the older boy’s nakedness not able to resist taking a peek even though it was under unusual circumstances. Tim’s soft penis had sort of shrunk a little since the last time I saw it, which didn’t really surprise me considering the situation. His tight boy hugged his body closely as well, almost like it was trying to protect him from further damage.
“Well?” Tim asked bringing me back to the moment.
“I…um…I don’t know Tim. I mean…it’s not like I see you naked all the time or anything. I mean it sort of looks like everything’s kind of shrunk on you, which to be honest I can’t blame it after getting smashed like that.” I told him honestly.
“Well…um…does it feel like it is swollen?” He asked finally glancing down before blushing looking away again biting his lower lip nervously.
“Geeze…how should I know…I mean…you really want me to…you know…feel around?” I asked noticing him nodding his head since the fear of being damaged down their outweighed the fear of being groped in front of everyone.
“Please Uncle Will. I…um…they sort of ache and I’m scared…you know.” He whispered as I just shook my head nervously before gently wrapping my fingers around his soft tight leathery like boy bag.
It was kind of difficult to tell anything at first because his satchel had pulled up tightly against his body. Slowly I stretched the skin gently running my fingers over the shape of his testicles being careful not to squeeze too tightly. Both of the two smaller boys were watching me intently and I thought about telling them to leave us alone, but it didn’t seem to bother Tim who was still biting his lip nervously holding on to Arty’s hand. The smaller boy looked up at Tim smiling encouragingly patting the older boy’s hand before once more gazing intently at what I was doing.
Tim’s testicles seemed to be about the same as what I figured they should be like, about the size of a walnut shell. I seemed to recall that’s the size they were the last time I noticed them. They felt kind of soft and pliable in my hands as I gently squeezed them. Tim seemed to wince a little so I released his testicles looking up at him.
“I think you will be alright Tim. I mean I don’t think they are swollen or anything, but I guess they are still a bit sensitive though.” I told him as he sighed in relief finally taking a look for himself.
All of a sudden there was a knocking noise on the door making all of us jump out of our skins. Tim immediately bent over pulling back on his underwear and shorts before anyone could open up the door. I noticed him wincing in pain as he tried to straighten up reaching towards his back reminding me he had been hit pretty hard back there as well.
“Let me take a look at your back.” I told Tim who grimaced while watching Arty as the boy went to answer the door.
It was Elena coming over to help finish up cleaning the house from the party. She immediately took in the scene reaching for Arty embracing him asking what had happened. In Spanish the smaller boy filled her in with the situation while I continued to check over Tim. When I probed his lower back Tim seemed to gasp holding his breath in pain. The tender area felt hot to the touch so I got a little worried.
“Elena I need you to do me a favor and stay here with the kids. I’m taking Tim to the hospital just to be on the safe side.” I told her grabbing my car keys.
“I want to go too Uncle Will.” Koko ran over to me with a worried look on his face.
Kneeling down I gave Koko a big hug holding on to him for a few moments not ever wanting to let him go before finally giving in and releasing him. “Koko…I need you to stay here with Arty’s mom…alright? I’m very proud of you and I love you so much…for real. I’m so relieved you didn’t get hurt in this whole mess, and I’m sure Tim will be just fine, but it is better to be safe than sorry. So be a good little man for me, and do what Elena tells you while I’m gone. I won’t be long…I promise.” I told Koko as I hugged him again breathing him in before leaning back to give him a quick peck on the lips while he nodded at me understanding blushing a bit for the first time at the display of affection since other people were around witnessing the exchange.
When I looked up Elena was smiling kneeling next to her little boy with her arm wrapped around his shoulder. She motioned for Koko to come over as he held his head down, but wandered over next to her. She whispered in his ear kissing him on the cheek wrapping her other arm around him as well. He didn’t seem to mind that all too much probably because Arty was getting the same attention, and it was coming from a motherly figure.
Helping to support Tim, I gently wrapped my arm around his waist while he put his arm over my shoulder as we made our way to the elevator and my car. The hospital was only about a mile away so we got there in a matter of minutes. While on the way I called up Mary filling her in on the situation. She was freaking out, but I managed to calm her down enough assuring her that Tim was fine, and she stated she’d meet us at the hospital. I also called the police who said they would meet us over there as well to take a statement.
We went straight to the emergency room which hardly had any people waiting so they managed to get us in right away. Tim looked a bit scared telling the doctor he wanted me to be there with him since his mom wasn’t there yet. To be honest, I don’t think Tim would have wanted his mom in the room anyway when the doctor began to probe around his privates. I held Tim’s hand while the Doctor slathered on this gel like substance all over the boy’s tight leathery satchel. Tim gasped because it was cold with it looking to me as if his teenaged boy pouch seemed to tighten up even further forcing me to stifle myself from laughing at the poor boy’s expense.
After gelling him up like that the doctor used a hand tool to do an ultrasound scan of his testicles. He ran the small device over the surface of the boy’s scrotum sack slowly while we all watched the black and white screen. It was kind of strange seeing an image of Tim’s oval shaped testicles like this, but at the same time I knew if Koko and Arturo were here they’d think it was kind of cool. To be honest even I thought it was cool.
“Hmmmm, doctor maybe you should take a picture of it just like pregnant mothers do to show off to everyone. I’m sure there are a lot of Tim’s friends who’d get a kick out of seeing his balls exposed in this way.” I suggested.
The older boy immediately shot daggers at me with his gaze. “No!” Tim’s voice cracked in a panic. “I mean…that won’t be necessary doctor.” He finished off a bit more concerned as I giggled at his expense while the doctor also smiled putting away his equipment.
Tim had just finished up wiping away the gel from his balls when his mom came bursting through the door. “Mom!” Tim yelped in surprise, this most definitely not being his day, as he tried to cover up his gel slathered boy bits with his hands while his face shifted into about ten different shades of red. “Turn around for Pete’s sake.” He snapped before wincing from trying to turn his back to her as well with his exposed lily white ass pointing towards us now making it difficult for me not to laugh at the situation.
Mary just gawked for a split second finally realizing what was going on so promptly turned her back allowing her son some dignity in getting covered up with the hospital gown. I got up walking over towards Tim’s mom wrapping my arms around her. I felt her shuddering as she tried to hold back the floodgates of tears.
“H…how bad is it?” She whispered in my ear.
“It’ll be alright. The doctor just did an ultrasound on Tim’s…um…,”my voice caught in my throat because of the weirdness of the situation as I sort of coughed turning my head away to get it cleared out before continuing. “They did an ultrasound on Tim’s testicles, and the doctor seems to think there is only a slight swelling that should go away by tomorrow. He’s getting ready to look at Tim’s back now. I’m sure it’s nothing, but from past experiences I will lay odds it will look nasty by tomorrow.” I told her reassuringly.
“Alright mom you can turn around now.” Tim stated with the hospital gown wrapped around his waist, and him blushing at having been caught all gelled up like that.
I couldn’t help myself as I chuckled at him. “Hey…no fair Uncle Will…it’s not funny. I mean…it’s not like I’m a little baby anymore…and well…its kind weird having mom see me naked anymore. Not to mention sort of creepy having her see me all gelled…um…I mean with gel on my…uh…you know.” He stated the last part more softly not intending others to hear it, but Mary did, and she all of a sudden started to giggle understanding all too well what Tim was hinting at.
After all, most times when a teenage boy has gel all over his privates it is because he’s doing something a little naughty. Tim could tell his mom knew exactly what he was thinking as his face flushed another ten different shades of red. It was a bit mortifying for him to be in this situation as he simply looked away biting his lower lip nervously now that his mom was in the room with him being at a disadvantage since he was kind of exposed. Personally I didn’t know what the big issue was with kids these days since at his age I still tended to walk around naked inside my own home without being too concerned about my mom seeing me.
The doctor shook his head as well totally understanding Tim’s plight, but remained quiet not wanting to embarrass the teenager any further. Instead he let Mary chat with her son for a minute or two before telling them he wanted to take a quick look at his back. While he began to probe the older boy’s back I realized the injury was practically in the same spot mine had been when I had been sandwiched between two guys during football practice. I winced recalling how painful it had been.
Shaking my head my mind began to drift back to that time after I got hurt while also having to deal with a bully of my own. Well, it wasn’t my bully, but rather, one I had to deal with for Coco’s sake. In a way, I suppose I was going to have to try taking care of another one because now it involved my current Koko as well, and I knew these types of bullies all too well. Now that the younger boy in my charge had gotten into the mix of things, this Jason kid would be gunning for him as well. I sighed wondering why there were always bullies no matter where you went. My mind seemed to drift back to that point in time in the past. The moment in my young life where I had to deal with a similar situation for Koko’s father when he was about the same age making me wonder if there was a way I could use that same experience to my advantage now.
