Tales from Kingswood - Chapter 26c (Patreon)

You may be wondering about why there's a 26a, b, c and d. Each version tells the story of the same 14-day period for a different pair of characters. It was a fun event to write and I hope it makes for an enjoyable read. As always, thoughts and comments are welcomed. Up third - Mikey and Danny. (FYI, I loved writing this one so much!)

FAO All Kingswood Parents and Guardians

The Kingswood Pandemic Protocol is now ready to move into its penultimate phase, which requires steps to ensure the COVID-19 virus is not present within the school’s population. As advised in our previous updates, additional accommodation has been built within the school grounds, which is now ready to begin use for the isolation period of the Protocol.

Upon their return from the half-term break, all students will be separated into two-person accommodation and will remain physically separated from all other students, staff and faculty for the virus’ 14-day incubation period. Please find attached a schedule for the times returns are required for each Year group. For anyone with sons in multiple Year groups, please contact our administrative office to discuss alternative arrangements.

While we are aware of the concerns that may arise from paired accommodation, this decision was made based on the need to balance both physical and emotional wellbeing for our students. While solitary isolation eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination entirely, it was considered significantly more likely to cause emotional harm. It is a decision that was not reached lightly and was made in conjunction with expert advice from both epidemiologists and child psychologists, themselves alumni of Kingswood.

During the 14-day isolation period, students will still be able to attend classes through the use of on-site technology, move about the school grounds at set periods to ensure physical health is maintained and engage in group activities designed to minimise the psychological impact. All contact restrictions have been lifted and contact with family will be available at any time to ensure a fully connected support system.

Once the isolation period is complete, the Pandemic Protocol will move to its final stage to maintain a virus-free school. All staff will remain in accommodation on-site for the duration of the pandemic. Any staff or student leaving school grounds will be required to undertake a further isolation period of 14 days upon their return.

We thank you in advance for your co-operation at this difficult time. A further update will follow once the students have returned.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Trystan Everett

Kingswood Headmaster

Day 1

Mikey had been more than a little worried when he heard the news about spending two weeks in a small dorm with just one person. Before the half-term break, Josh had lost his mind and flipped out on all of them. Mikey had wanted to hurt him, more than he’d ever wanted to hurt anyone, but he had made a promise to Danny earlier in the school year not to resort to violence and as the only boy who ever seemed to show any faith in him, Mikey was absolutely determined not to let him down and give in to his urges.

However, he was unsure just how strong his resolve would remain if he was stuck in a room with Josh for two weeks. As such, it was an inordinate relief when he reached the door to his room and found the other name on it was Nicholas Jones. Of all the people he could share with, Nicky was not top of the list, but he was also far from the bottom too.

Over the six months they had been at the school, as well as bunk neighbours, their relationship had waxed and waned a few times. They went through periods where they actually talked to each other a lot then sometimes whole weeks at a time of being too busy to really even be around each other. They were certainly friends, but far from close ones.

Mikey was first into the room, but it was barely fifteen minutes later that Mr Beecham returned with Nicky. After filling them in on all the essentials they needed to know, the teacher returned to his duties leaving the two boys to settle in.

Neither of the two were really known for small talk. Mikey had more of a tendency to join in only with group conversations while Nicky had a habit of staying quiet but chiming in with an amusing one-liner or some well-timed sarcasm. As such, the room remained mostly silent as they both unpacked and got used to the facilities available.

Nicky had just finished putting his toiletries in the room’s small bathroom when he stepped back into the room and heard Mikey mutter something. “What was that?” Nicky asked, not quite hearing it properly.

“Hmm?” Mikey asked, looking round. “Oh, nothing!” he insisted.

“Okay,” Nicky said with a slight frown. He shrugged briefly to himself and headed over to the desk to do something on his laptop.

“Oh, hey, you free for a minute?” Mikey called out, looking at his phone.

“No, my calendar’s full. I’m totally swamped!” Nicky said back sarcastically.

Mikey rolled his eyes and shook his head as he approached the long, shared desk. “Danny and Chris wanted to give us a call!”

“Oh, cool,” Nicky said, then reached over to turn on the large central monitor between their two stations.

The call was a pleasant break from the uncomfortable since that had been ever-present since they arrived in the room, with Chris, Danny and Nicky sharing details of their half-term break and Mikey just saying his had been ‘okay’. None of them brought up the subject of Josh and by the time the call ended, they all felt a little more at ease with the whole lockdown situation.

As Mikey returned to his last bit of unpacking, he asked, “So how long d’you reckon before those two are at it like rabbits?”

Nicky chuckled. “Probably the second we ended the call!” he said with a grin, though it dropped away. Since getting back, he had been determined not to think about his own relationship. He had been ignoring messages from Will for the last week, which had led to Jonathan trying in his place, but Nicky ignored that too. He hadn’t told either of them that he knew their secret. It felt like something he needed to confront Will about in person.

Before half-term, he had already begun to suspect he was being lied to by his boyfriend/mentor but when Josh had thrown the apparent truth at him like an emotional hand grenade, it was devastating as it had confirmed all his fears.

“No I didn’t!” Mikey mumbled out of nowhere, then looked at Nicky as he saw the other boy give him a puzzled look. “Nothing!” he said before it could be questioned. Silence returned again.

*****

Day 3

Nicky wandered down the hallway towards the room. He had just been out for his daily dose of outdoor time and was just heading back.

“Hold the door!” he heard from behind as he opened it.

Nicky turned to see Mikey hurrying along behind him. He smiled politely and asked, “Good break?”

Mikey nodded as he stepped into the room and let the door shut behind him. They had been out two nights in a row separately, both just kind of going their own way when they got out of the temporary building. “Went over to the Sports Complex. They’ve kept a few balls out so I shot some hoops!” he explained.

“Cool,” Nicky said with a gentle nod.

“Hey, maybe… tomorrow you can come. It’s… less fun on my own!” Mikey admitted.

“Bit like sex!” Nicky sniggered as he kicked off his trainers.

Mikey chuckled and nodded, “Yeah, I guess! That reminds me. Did you see Chris and Danny this afternoon in science? No way you’re telling me they weren’t whacking each other off!” He got a laugh from Nicky but felt a little awkward at the mention of sex. He had spent several weeks before half-term obsessively attempting to suck his own dick after being inspired by an offhand comment from his mentor. It had slightly side-tracked his original intention to finally find someone else to play around with, either casually as part of a potential relationship. His efforts had continued throughout half-term, making the most of the privacy he got at home, but he still hadn’t managed it.

Since returning though, he had not had a chance to really do anything sexual at all. He was excessively private about pleasuring himself and with the walls to the bathroom so thin and Nicky always present, masturbation had not been an option. It was beginning to get to him. He had been cumming at least twice a day since being unlocked four months earlier and the sudden dry spell was… difficult!

Once they had both settled back in, the silence returned, each of them keeping themselves busy with their own hobbies until dinner arrived, which was also eaten in relative silence.

After dinner, there had been some online games arranged in place of the usual clubs and activities that would have filled the boys’ evening.

As bedtime rolled around, they clicked the lights off on time, knowing that if they didn’t they would immediately get a message from Mr Trent who patrolled the halls looking out for any errant beams of light from beneath their doors. They both said a polite goodnight, but neither appeared likely to be sleeping any time soon.

“Nicky,” Mikey whispered, just in case the other boy had got to sleep already.

“Yeah?” Nicky replied.

Mikey sighed a little. “Does it… ever bother you that we’re… I dunno… not as close as some of the others?”

“What d’you mean?” Nicky asked. He had a pretty good idea what Mikey actually meant, but the other boy often had a bizarre way of looking at things and he had learned in the months they had been friends that it was always better to ask than assume.

“Well… current issues aside, Josh and Rob are… ya know, besties. David and James are, like, the brain trust and then there’s Chris and Danny who are basically one person in two bodies!” Mikey explained. “All of them are neighbours with their bunks, but then there’s me and you… and we’re… not… like that!”

“I hadn’t really thought of it that way,” Nicky said thoughtfully. “Does it… bother you?”

Mikey shrugged but realised in the dark it couldn’t really be seen so he said, “Maybe. I mean… probably not, but I think it might bother me why!”

“Whadda you…” Nicky began to ask, then paused. “You think maybe us not being closer friends has something to do with what Josh said to you?” There was silence in response for several moments, so he prompted, “Mikey?”

“Are you scared of me?” Mikey asked softly.

Nicky took a breath, nervous about how to approach this. He hated confrontation; he simply couldn’t handle it. Being stuck in a room with Mikey had been intimidating enough, but he had managed so far, but if this led to an argument, he wasn’t sure what he would do. He couldn’t bring himself to lie though and eventually said, “Yes!”

“Oh,” Mikey said, not quite sure how to react.

“Well, I mean more like I’m scared of your temper,” Nicky explained. “When you get angry, I get scared. I don’t do well with… arguing and stuff. Like, when Josh was going off I felt like I was gonna throw up! When you’re not angry though, I’m not scared of you. I actually quite like you!”

“Thanks,” Mikey said back quietly.

“And I think maybe part of the reason we’re not closer is more because of me than you…” Nicky offered, beginning to think about it.

“How d’ya figure?” Mikey asked, sure that he was only saying it to try and sound nice.

Nicky hesitated. He was about to reveal something that was a secret, or had been until Josh’s outburst, but not talking about it was a hard habit to break. “Well… when we first got here, I… started dating someone right away!”

“Wait, so there really is a secret boyfriend?” Mikey asked, sitting up. He turned on the torch on his phone but made sure it was aimed away from the door so as not to alert Mr Trent.

Nicky sat up too, leaning on the wall to face across at Mikey. He nodded. “Yeah, there is… or was… I dunno now,” he said sadly. “But the point is, while the others were all, like, pairing up and becoming friends, I was… off being with my boyfriend, so I wasn’t really there to… I dunno, bond the way everyone else seemed to.”

“So… you didn’t avoid me because you were scared or because I’m… unusual?” Mikey asked nervously.

Nicky smiled sincerely. “Unusual is just another word for interesting!”

Mikey chuckled. “Thanks… I think!”

“You’re welcome,” Nicky grinned back.

Mikey suddenly looked off to the side and muttered, “No I don’t!”

“What was that?” Nicky asked suspiciously.

“What was… what?” Mikey asked, blushing.

“Just then,” Nicky said, his eyes darting off in the direction Mikey had glanced. “You looked at something and then you said something!”

“No I didn’t!” Mikey insisted, getting a little panicked.

“Mikey, you did. I spotted it thanks to this magical ability I have called ‘having eyes’!” Nicky said insistently.

Mikey’s jaw flapped open, trying to formulate an excuse, resisting the urge to get angry.

“It’s okay,” Nick reassured him. “Whatever ‘interesting’ thing it is, you can tell me!”

“I…” Mikey started, but paused, shaking his head.

Nicky climbed off his bed and jumped onto Mikey’s. He knelt next to him and took hold of his hand, nodding silently.

“I… have someone… that I know,” Mikey started cautiously, “Who… might not be… entirely… real!”

Nicky frowned, attempting to understand then nodded, eyebrows raising as he said, “So a friend… who is imaginary?”

Mikey stared at him, the words he had been too terrified to say aloud since coming to the school hanging between them heavily.

Nicky could feel the other boy’s hand shaking in his own. He smiled sweetly and said, “Cool. What’s his name, or her name…” he tilted his head thoughtfully and added, “…or their name?”

Mikey was so relieved he almost burst into tears on the spot, but instead just smiled then blushed a little as he said, “It’s Snuffles! And he’s a he!”

“Can I… say hello?” Nicky asked, looking around.

Mikey shook his head. “He’s gone… for now, but he’ll be back later!” He frowned at Nicky and asked, “You… don’t think it’s weird?”

“I think it’s interesting!” Nicky said, giving Mikey’s hand a squeeze. “Why’ve you never told us?”

“I didn’t wanna be the twelve-year-old with the imaginary friend!” Mikey answered honestly.

Nicky nodded, then asked, “Are you twelve?” He got a nod. “And do you have an imaginary friend?” A more reluctant nod. “Then you ARE the twelve-year-old with the imaginary friend. Not telling us doesn’t change that!”

“I know,” Mikey nodded. “But people already think I’m crazy without knowing about him!”

“Yeah, well people are idiots!” Nicky said sharply. He let out a gentle sigh. “And if I hadn’t been wasting my time on one of those idiots, we might have been better friends and then you wouldn’t have spent six months bottling this up!”

“Do you… wanna talk about… your idiot?” Mikey asked cautiously.

Nicky thought for a moment then shook his head. “No,” he sighed. “But you know what I DO wanna do?”

Mikey shrugged and shook his head.

“Wank!” Nicky said bluntly. “I haven’t cum for three days and I’m losing my freakin’ mind!”

Mikey laughed and declared, “Oh my God, me too! It’s killing me!”

“We could… do stuff together… if you like,” Nicky offered timidly.

“No!” Mikey replied quite harshly, but as Nicky’s hand finally dropped from his own he said, “Sorry, erm… that’s kind of another… ‘interesting’ thing, but… not for right now!”

“Okay, I understand,” Nicky said with a nod.

“But… you can… you can stay over here if you want!” Mikey offered, shuffling along to give Nicky more room to sit and lean on the wall. “We could do it… near each other rather than with each other!”

Nicky nodded and jumped into the space Mikey had made.

“Should I… turn the light out?” Mikey asked, gesturing to his phone.

Nicky wanted to say yes. While he was dressed in his usual sleep attire of shorts and a t-shirt, neither of which he intended to remove, he was about to get his dick out which meant someone who had not seen it properly before seeing it. He was just about to answer when he thought about the courage it had probably taken for Mikey to reveal Snuffles. “No, leave it on,” he said, trying to follow Mikey’s example.

Mikey nodded, then shifted side-to-side as he worked his boxers down to mid-thigh, revealing his flaccid, hairless dick. He blushed a little as he spotted Nicky look at it and said, “It gets bigger!”

Nicky laughed and said, “I’m not judging, I promise… just looking!” Nervously, he pulled the front of his own boxers down and tucked them under his balls, revealing his own flaccid dick.

Mikey let out a slight groan. “You’re bigger soft than I am hard!” he confessed.

“Well that’s because I’m a freak of nature who started puberty when I was eight!” Nicky said self-deprecatingly. “So I just happen to be four years ahead of you, that’s all!”

“You’re not a freak of nature. Don’t say that!” Mikey insisted. “You’re perfect!”

Nicky chuckled. “I’m not, but that’s very sweet of you to say… which is SO unlike you!”

“Shut up and wank!” Mikey said with a grin.

“You just wanna see it hard!” Nicky accused playfully.

“Yes, but I’m not judging… just looking!” Mikey teased back.

Nicky elbowed the other boy as he shook his head then grabbed his cock and began stroking. Mikey took hold of his own and within a few strokes, both boys were up to full firmness, the intimacy of the shared moment helping both of them along.

“Fuck. What how big is that? Fifteen centimetres?” Mikey asked, staring wide-eyed at the other boy’s huge tool.

“Closer to seventeen!” Nicky said as he held the erection right at the base, feeling almost proud of his endowment for once.

“Wow,” Mikey said, now openly staring at it.

“Look later, I gotta cum!” Nicky said, starting to stroke the rigid meat.

“Oh yeah, me too!” Mikey said, copying the movement. He kept his eyes fixed on Nicky’s dick, moving his hand at the same speed, albeit with somewhat shorter strokes.

They remained silent as they sat stroking side-by-side. After a few minutes, Mikey let out a few gentle moans then shot a hefty (by his standards) load onto his smooth stomach. “Oh my God, I needed that!” he gasped happily. He looked back at Nicky’s dick and asked, “If your junk’s that big, does that mean you cum big too?”

“Mnnnh… you tell me!” Nicky said, grinning as he tilted to the side and aimed his cock at Mikey, shooting several heavy ropes of spunk onto the other boy’s pale, smooth torso.

“Ugh, now that’s just immature!” Mikey complained as he looked down at his cum-spattered body.

Nicky just grinned, giving his cock a few final strokes as the orgasm subsided.

“You know what else is immature?” Mikey asked, looking at Nicky with a grin. When he got a confused headshake back, he declared, “This!” then launched himself off his bed and onto Nicky’s, face down so that the dual load was wiped off onto the covers. Laughing at his own actions, Mikey climbed off then pulled up his boxers as he stood facing his own bed.

“Well then I guess I’m staying over at your place tonight!” Nicky declared with a bemused smile.

Mikey rolled his eyes and shook his head. “I guess I brought that on myself. Fine!”

Nicky shuffled round to lay with his head on the pillow as Mikey climbed in next to him. As Nicky looped an arm under Mikey’s neck to spoon against him, neither of them spoke, they just silently cuddled together for a few minutes.

“Nicky,” Mikey whispered.

“Yeah?” Nicky replied.

Mikey paused for a moment then whispered, “Thank you!” The only reply he got was a gentle kiss on the back of his neck.

Day 6

“Why are we even doing this?” Mikey asked moodily as he sat at the desk. They were waiting for Danny to start a call, having arranged for all the 1.01 boys to join in on a video call during dinner.

“I think it’s Danny’s way of coping. It’s meant to be like when we all go to the Dining Hall together,” Nicky guessed.

“Yeah, well that’s stupid, because if things were still normal… which they’re not… we wouldn’t all be sitting together anyway. Josh'd be banished to the… I dunno, we’d make a table for arseholes or something!” Mikey said moodily.

Nicky let out a gentle sigh. The last few days had been quite enjoyable. Thanks to their late-night connection a few days before, they seemed to be a lot more comfortable around each other and the eerie silence that had been with them since they moved into the room was increasingly absent. Unfortunately, anything involving Josh was still capable of sending Mikey into full-on rage mode though.

“Look, you like Danny, don’t you?” Nicky asked. He got a slight blush and nod from Mikey so he went on, “So just try and be nice for his sake then!”

“Fine, whatever!” Mikey said dismissively as the call came through.

“Hi everyone,” Nicky said with a polite smile as Chris and Danny appeared on one side of the screen, James and David on the other.

Mikey just nodded a silent greeting, glad Josh wasn’t there yet but already fighting the urge to hurl abuse at him.

“Hi guys,” Danny said cheerfully, clearly delighted to see some of his friends together again.

“How’s everyone doing?” Chris asked.

Before anyone could answer, a fourth camera feed popped in. Everyone fell silent, though Nicky did hear Mikey mumble, “Yeah he is!” presumably to Snuffles, making him wonder what the imaginary person might had ‘said’ to prompt it.

As the picture loaded, it appeared it was just Rob.

“Hi,” Danny said quickly. “Is… Josh joining us?” he asked.

Rob glanced round, then looked back and said, “No, he…” He paused, clearly on the verge of saying more but eventually just said, “He isn’t!”

The others noticed right away that Rob had earbuds in, so not only was Josh not joining them, but he was also unable to hear what was happening either. For most of the attendees, it was actually a relief.

“Is he sure?” Danny asked sadly. “I was… really hoping we could ALL be here! I mean, we made it through the first school week in lockdown, we should celebrate!”

Rob glanced round again but shook his head as he looked at the camera.

“Hnnh, good!” Mikey said pointedly. “And as far as I’m concerned, we ARE all here!”

Rob went to reply, but seemingly realised Josh would hear anything he said and remained quiet, staring sadly into the camera.

“Hey, he’s still one of us!” Danny insisted. “And still a friend!”

“Pfft, he’s no friend of mine!” James said sharply. “Oh look at that. I do have a personality, and that personality is a guy who thinks Josh is a dick!”

“Please, can we not!” Danny pleaded with them.

Mikey chuckled as he looked to where Snuffles appeared to be then scoffed, “Aww, what’s wrong, scared WE might hurt HIS feelings?”

“I don’t think he even has any!” James added.

“Stop!” Danny pleaded.

“This was a stupid idea. I don’t wanna hang out with cuntface or anyone who’s on his side!” Mikey snapped, then reached down to drop himself and Nicky out of the call.

“Mikey,” Nicky said, tilting his head and shaking it a little. “You didn’t need to do that!”

Mikey shrugged, then pointed to his side and said, “It was his idea. Blame him!”

Nicky didn’t say anything. It had been three days since Mikey revealed the presence of his imaginary friend and was gradually getting more comfortable talking to him or about him in Nicky’s absence. Unfortunately, what Nicky had begun to notice right away was that every mistake, every bad choice, every outburst had suddenly become the fault of Snuffles.

*****

Day 9

Nicky hummed thoughtfully. “Do you think it’s maybe a trust thing?” he asked curiously. They had just tried jerking each other off again and while Mikey had been fine with taking hold of Nicky’s dick (he had, seemingly, loved every moment of it), any time Nicky tried to touch Mikey back, he completely freaked out.

“I dunno,” Mikey said as he lay on his bed, dressed once again, staring across at Nicky who had retreated after the failed attempt.

“Well… what do you feel when I try and touch you?” Nicky asked. As keen as he was to play with another boy, his concern now was borne more out of a desire to help his friend and a healthy dose of genuine curiosity.

“I dunno,” Mikey repeated.

“You don’t know what you feel?” Nicky asked incredulously.

Mikey shrugged. “Yeah, kinda. Everything just feels a bit weird lately anyway, ya know, from being stuck in here for, like, forever!”

“It’s been nine days!” Nicky said with a smirk.

“Exactly, that’s pretty much forever!” Mikey insisted.

Nicky smiled as he shook his head. “Well you said you’ve been with someone before, right?”

Mikey nodded. “Yeah, with Andy, my mentor!”

“And you didn’t freak out with him?” Nicky asked. As Mikey shook his head, Nicky asked, “So why d’you think that is? Is it because you trust him more?”

Mikey shrugged.

“Let me guess,” Nicky quickly interjected, “I dunno?”

Mikey rolled his eyes and nodded.

“Come on, work with me here, you need to figure this out,” Nicky insisted, then an idea came to him. Eyes narrowing slightly, he asked, “What does Snuffles think?”

Mikey looked a bit shocked. Although Nicky had known about Snuffles for the best part of a week and had seemed unbothered on the few occasions Mikey spoke to him, this was the first time he had attempted any kind of interaction. He glanced to where the imaginary friend was stood then frowned and shook his head. He hummed thoughtfully then shook his head again.

“Well?” Nicky asked expectantly.

“He’s no help!” Mikey said in frustration. “He just says Andy’s different because he’s, like, some kind of… authority figure. Like, he says do something and I kinda feel like I should do it!”

“What, like… against you will?” Nicky asked, looking a little concerned. He also felt a twinge of sadness at the use of the word ‘will’.

“No!” Mikey said, eyes wide. “No, nothing like that. I’ve wanted to do everything I’ve done. I dunno, it’s hard to explain!”

Nicky nodded as he thought about it for a moment. While he had brought his own mood down a little by accidentally using his boyfriend’s name, it had given him sudden inspiration. “Mikey, stand up!” he said firmly.

“Why?” Mikey asked cautiously. As Nicky just stared back at him, he rolled his eyes but did as he was told.

“Okay, now take off your clothes!” Nicky instructed.

“Seriously?” Mikey asked with an incredulous frown.

“Michael!” Nicky said in his sternest tone.

“Geez, okay, okay!” Mikey said, pulling off his t-shirt followed by his shorts. He stood in front of Nicky, fully naked. As the sitting boy stared him up and down, Mikey squirmed a little, feeling self-conscious as his dick started to harden. He held his hands in front of his smooth crotch to conceal himself.

“Hands at your sides!” Nicky said, using a much gentler tone this time.

Mikey was struggling to make eye contact, blushing a little, but he did as Nicky said, dropping his hands to his side as his cock strained skyward. “What’s this supposed to achieve?” he asked shakily.

“Shh!” Nicky hushed the other boy, then shuffled forward so he was sitting on the edge of his bed with Mikey a single stride away beside his own. Nicky didn’t even speak this time, he just caught Mikey’s eye with his hand and then gestured to the spot on the floor right in front of him.

Mikey moved, looking increasingly nervous.

“Mikey, I’m going to touch you now and you’re going to let me, aren’t you?” Although he worded it as a question, it came across very much as the command he intended it to be.

Mikey nodded.

Nicky stared at the naked boy, keeping their eyes locked for a few seconds. He gave a warm smile and got a nervous one back then let his eyes roam downwards. It was surprising really how Mikey’s personality, or rather his mood, clouded the way people viewed him. With all of that stripped aside, along with his clothing, he looked like a vision of innocence. Silky-soft strawberry-blonde hair, heavily-freckled cherubic features, a toned but slender frame from the range of sports he excelled at and pale skin with more freckles raining down from his shoulders. While the plumpness of his cock and slight hang of his balls made it obvious that puberty was underway, but his body was entirely bereft of hair, his uncut cock curving up to the ceiling with the head just poking its way out of its sheath.

Raising his hand, Nicky placed it gently on Mikey’s stomach, the skin silken and warm to the touch, a slight softness with the promise of developing muscle beneath. Mikey inhaled sharply and shuddered a little but didn’t push the hand away or jump clear as had happened on previous attempts. Nicky raised his other hand, placing it delicately on Mikey’s hip, allowing it to slide up and down Mikey’s side while his other hand continued to caress the flatness of his tummy.

“How does it feel?” Nicky asked softly.

“Weird!” Mikey answered honestly, then remembered how Nicky had put it before. He smiled and said, “I mean… interesting!”

Nicky smiled, then allowed both hands to slide upwards, caressing the slight mounds of his pectorals, lightly fluttering his fingers over each of the nipples. “And now?” he asked.

“Nice… I… I like it!” he replied, sounding both amazed and delighted at the same time.

They remained where they were for several minutes, Nicky sitting on the bed, Mikey in front of him and exposed and with two hands roaming his bare body. Eventually, Mikey felt Nicky’s hands slide down his sides again and then move round the back. At first he thought Nicky was just going to grope his butt, but instead felt himself being pulled closer.

Nicky shuffled back a little as he pulled Mikey towards him, eventually making the naked boy kneel on the bed, straddling his lap. Mikey lowered himself down, so his exposed butt rested on Nicky’s legs, bringing them face-to-face.

Nicky continued his exploratory touches, enjoying the soft, pleasured mews he could now hear more clearly from the face mere inches from his own. He allowed a hand to raise up, fingers tracing the line of Mikey’s jaw before stroking his cheek.

“Mmmm,” Mikey moaned dreamily, pressing his cheek against the other boy’s hand and letting out a slightly disappointed moan as it continued up and into his hair.

“And now we’re going to kiss!” Nicky stated, making it clear that this time was also not a request.

“I… I haven’t… erm… you’d be my first!” Mikey said, sounding so painfully innocent that Nicky could have cried.

“Is that okay?” Nicky asked softly. He got a nod back and smiled as he leaned in.

The two boys kissed, beginning slowly with Nicky just holding his naked friend, but gradually his hands began to grope at Mikey, who did the same back. Without parting, Nicky lay back onto the bed, pulling Mikey with him before shifting a little to lay side-by-side. The first kiss lasted a minute, but was quickly followed by a second, a third, a fourth. The rest of the evening was spent that way, kissing and touching, both aroused but never taking it any further.

Day 13

“Hey!” Mikey said, knowing that Nicky had to be awake and annoyed that he was pretending not to be. Mikey had climbed on top of him and slapped his erection against the other boy’s mouth a few times. “Suck my dick!” he demanded.

Nicky opened his eyes and looked up at the boy sat towering over him.

“Mikey,” Nicky said, feigning disapproval despite being inordinately amused by the move. “We’ve covered this. Which one of us gets to give the commands?”

Mikey huffed, rolled his eyes and said, “You do!”

“That’s right!” Nicky stated. His initial suspicion a few nights earlier had proven to be entirely accurate. Mikey appeared to be submissive, which was so bizarre considering his dominant personality, yet he had been so completely receptive to Nicky’s commands that there was no doubt about it. “Now I’d probably suck it if you asked nicely, rather than slapping me in the face with it, so why don’t you give that a go?”

“Cos that’s no fun!” Mikey pouted. He rolled his eyes and climbed off with a sigh, then stood beside Nicky’s bed and asked, “Please will you suck my dick?”

“Yes!” Nicky answered, then smiled and added, “After you suck mine!”

“Oh no,” Mikey said sarcastically. “How dreadful, please don’t make me!”

“Okay, I won’t!” Nicky said, ignoring the obvious attempt at humour.

“No!” Mikey snapped. “Kidding. Get it out, I wanna suck!”

Nicky tossed back the covers, revealing his morning wood, although he suspected it was more from the horny, naked boy who had just been on top of him rather than it simply being morning. Before he had the chance to object, Mikey had grabbed his boxers, yanked them down to his ankles and tossed them aside, leaving him laying there in just his t-shirt.

“Can you take that off too?” Mikey asked as he climbed onto the bed, ready to suck the huge erection.

Nicky sighed. It didn’t matter that Mikey had seen him naked several times, he still felt self-conscious exposing himself fully, but the request was so innocent and sweet he found it quite difficult to resist, so he nodded then sat up to pull the t-shirt off and threw it aside. As he lay back down, he placed has hands beneath his head and said, “Well get to it!”

“Yes Sir!” Mikey said, feeling a strangely excited tingle as he said it. He didn’t really understand why though, the same way he didn’t really understand how Nicky had just suddenly been able to touch him or why he was willing to do whatever the other boy commanded. All he knew was that doing it felt good.

Mikey loved Nicky’s beast of a cock. It was the biggest one he had ever played with but considering he had only really played with two others, and one of them was his own, that wasn’t a difficult feat.

“Don’t forget my balls!” Nicky instructed as Mikey continued his oral activity. “And hands off yourself!” he added as he spotted Mikey playing himself. “Remember, when you’re doing me, you focus ONLY on me. Got it?”

“Yes Sir!” Mikey said, though it was slightly muffled as he didn’t take the cock completely out of his mouth to say it.

Nicky lay there enjoying the blow job. It wasn’t the best he’d ever had, but it wasn’t the worst. Mikey definitely seemed to have the potential to be very good at it. Nicky’s mind was more focused on his own role though. When he got together with Will and found out that his mentor, Jonathan was also his Master, he had been reluctant to get too involved in that sort of thing and had told Will he only wanted to be his boyfriend, not his Dom, but that appeared to be different with Mikey.

Before Christmas, Nicky had fooled around with Will and Danny at the same time and taken on a fairly dominant role, something he had enjoyed a lot more than he expected. It had carried on to a certain extent with Danny when they fooled around together. Now, being in charge of Mikey didn’t just feel good, it felt… right, though as he lay thinking about all of his sexual relationships, he couldn’t help but wonder if that was simply his way of making up for the misery he knew was to come the next day when he finally spoke to Will.

Nicky’s wandering thoughts were soon drawn back to reality as Mikey’s eager sucking was bringing him to the brink of ejaculation. “I’m close,” he moaned happily.

Mikey pulled off, stroking the large cock eagerly.

“Swallow it!” Nicky commanded.

Mikey let out a gentle moan and gave Nicky a pleading look.

“Swallow it or I don’t suck you!” Nicky threatened.

Mikey huffed and took the large cock back into his mouth just as it began to spurt. Making unpleasant groaning noises, he continued to suck until the final drops were out, then sat back up, face screwed up.

Nicky knew that the other boy had a mouthful of spunk. He considered letting him spit, or even reaching up to kiss him to share the load, but he had given a command and he knew he had to hold Mikey to it. “I said swallow!” he commanded. As Mikey gulped the semen down, Nicky shook his head and said, “If you just swallow it while I’m shooting, you don’t sit with it in your mouth and taste it so much!”

“Whatever!” Mikey pouted, then jumped onto the bed beside Nicky and said, “Your turn!” As Nicky looked at him disapprovingly, he added a polite but forced, “Please!”

Nicky leaned over and gave Mikey a quick kiss on the cheek before moving down to take the smaller cock into his mouth. He wasn’t sucking on it for long before Mikey was moaning dreamily and warning him he was close. It wasn’t so much that Nicky was so good, it was just becoming increasingly apparent that doing as he was told really did turn Mikey on an exceptional amount, so being ordered to suck and swallow had pushed him close to the edge without even touching.

As Nicky felt the cock spasm in his mouth, he fought the urge to swallow, keeping the load in his mouth as he crawled up Mikey’s body, pinned his hands to the bed above his head and then kissed him. As he forced Mikey’s lips apart with his own, he heard the boy moan with a pleasured disgust as his own spunk slowly dribbled into his mouth. The kiss continued until every drop had melted away into their shared saliva.

“You’re a dick!” Mikey moaned as Nicky pulled away, looking down at him. It didn’t stop him grinning afterwards though.

“And the winner is…” Mr Trent said, pausing for dramatic effect.

“Gee, I wonder!” Nicky whispered sarcastically, getting a snigger from Mikey.

“James and David!” Mr Trent announced.

“Oh my God!” Mikey feigned surprise, making Nicky laugh.

There was mostly polite applause from the other fifteen pairs as the winner of the quiz was announced, though a few boys playfully called out, “Cheats!” “They were so googling the answers!” “Nobody knows that much!”

“If you all spent as long studying as you do touching yourselves in the shower, you might have stood a chance!” James replied, only half joking.

“Hey, easy! Keep it polite fellas!” Mt Trent warned.

“Fine,” James said with an eye roll. “Well played everyone!”

“That’s better,” the teacher said with a gentle nod. “Well thank you all for playing. Now just in case you’d forgotten…” he paused, giving wry grin and knowing there was no way anyone could forget this, “Lockdown ends tomorrow and I’m delighted to confirm we have absolutely no sign of any virus-related symptoms anywhere in the school, so all doors will be unlocked at 8 ready for breakfast to begin over in the Dining Hall.”

There was a loud cheer from all 32 of the Year 7 boys, clearly glad to have made it through the isolation period.

“After breakfast, you can come back and start moving your personal items back to your regular dorms,” Mr Trent explained. He continued giving more details of what would happen, but the chatter from the boys had grown so loud it was mostly lost. Eventually he called out across the din, “But that’s all for tonight. See you all tomorrow in person!”

As the teacher signed off, Mikey dropped them out of the call too, looking at Nicky sympathetically. “So, tomorrow’s the big day then!” he said as he moved across to sit on his bed.

“Yeah,” Nicky said with a gentle nod. He followed Mikey and looked briefly at his own bed, but opted to get on Mikey’s instead, laying down and placing his head on the other boy’s lap.

While they had very much established a Dom/sub relationship when it came to sex, outside of that the dynamic remained very much even. The lockdown, while hard for others, had been more like a fortnight-long therapy session for the two boys. Mikey had finally been able to open up about Snuffles, his issues with being touched and his concern over the things Josh had said to him, while Nicky had been able to talk about his secret relationship with Will, the things that had led to his suspicions about the lies and how he felt learning from Josh that his suspicions were correct.

“I know I probably shouldn’t have been ignoring him this whole time, but when I tell him what I know, I wanna see him. I wanna see if he’ll lie to my face or own up to what he did!” Nicky explained.

“Will it make a difference?” Mikey asked bluntly. “I mean, is there any explanation he can give that doesn’t end up with you dumping him?”

Nicky sighed. He had given Will and their relationship six months of his life. He had missed out on potential friendships with his new dormmates in favour of spending time with the older boy. But above all that, he loved him. Mikey’s question was difficult, because he was struggling to imagine a scenario where they didn’t break up, but at the same time, he couldn’t even imagine how breaking up would feel. He simply shook his head, unable to give an answer.

Mikey sighed in response, then let his fingers gently stroke through Nicky’s wavy brown hair, brushing it away from his face that normally remained half-concealed by it. “You should really consider a different style,” he said, changing the subject a little. “You’re really hot, but you hide behind your hair!”

“Thanks,” Nicky said, smiling up at Mikey.

“And whatever happens tomorrow, I want you to know I’ll be there for you,” Mikey said, nodding sincerely, then he grinned and added, “Waiting to suck your dick… Sir!” They both laughed.

Day 14

As the doors unlocked, signalling the official end of the lockdown, Nicky took a deep breath. “Wish me luck!” he said as he stood ready to head out the door.

“Wait, you’re doing it now? Like, right now?” Mikey asked. “At least come for breakfast first. It’s gonna be like a party over there!”

“Jesus!” Nicky exclaimed as he opened the door and saw a crowd gathering around Danny and Chris’ door. “I think the party’s already started!”

“Fuck, what’s going on?” Mikey asked as he went to the door. He repeated the question to Jeremy ‘JC’ Clark from 1.04 who was rushing past to join the others.

“Didn’t you see?” JC asked. “Last night, after the quiz, Chris and Danny didn’t turn their camera off and got off together, but it turns out Chris and Kyle are MEANT to be exclusive! Kyle saw EVERYTHING!” He ran off down the hall.

“Fuck!” both Mikey and Nicky exclaimed at once.

“We miss all the good stuff,” Mikey pouted.

“That’s your first thought? Seriously?” Nicky asked, amused and bewildered.

“I gotta get in on this!” Mikey said, heading out to join the crowd. “Good luck, you know where I am!”

“Thanks!” Nicky said, taking another deep breath before heading off to try and find Will.

“Well this is fun,” Mikey said sarcastically, mostly to himself as he sat in the Dining Hall. The mood in the room was very much the party Mikey had expected it to be, but for himself and the other three 1,01 boys the mood was substantially more downbeat. Danny had run off after being confronted by Kyle over what had happened and not been seen since, David was not there and James seemed reluctant to reveal why, Josh was thankfully absent too and Nicky was yet to return from confronting Will.

“Can’t wait to get back to the dorm!” Mikey added with a gentle sigh, his comments seemingly unheard by James, Rob and Chris who just focused on not eating their breakfast. The last two weeks with Nicky had been incredible. He felt like he had really gained a friend and felt more at ease than he had since joining the school, so returning to the dorm, with all the drama it would bring, was not an appealing idea. He frowned a little as he saw Mr Trent walk in, quickly making his way to the teacher’s table. Mr Trent leaned across and seemingly whispered something to Mr Everett and Mr Reeves, who immediately stood.

Both men started moving down the staff table, apparently giving instructions to the other teachers sat there, a couple of whom followed them out as they quickly left, a couple more just going as far as the large double doors which they closed.

“Something’s going on!” Mikey said, finally getting the attention of the other three who looked round and noticed the strange behaviour. The whole room seemed to notice something was amiss too, falling a little quiet.

“Please can you all remain in your seats until we give permission to leave!” Mr Fitzsimmons announced from the door as he saw students beginning to stand.

The teachers seemed to be determined not to let the students know what was happening, but there were a few beeps and buzzes as messages arrived from outside the room. Whatever was in the messages quickly rippled through the room like an informational Mexican wave.

“What’s going on?” Mikey asked Brandon White, the dorm 1.03 boy sat off to his side as the whispering reached him.

“They’re saying there’s someone up on the roof,” Brandon said nervously. “And he’s going to jump!”

The words were like a jolt of electricity to Mikey. He knew Nicky was expecting things to go badly, but it couldn’t have gone quite that wrong… could it?
