From the diary of Nicky Jones
Hey Matt. Sorry it’s been a while since we spoke, but December just kinda got away from me a bit. I was going to ACTUALLY speak to you, because I’m all cured now (ha, I wish). But seriously, it’s nice knowing I CAN talk to you without ending up a blubbering wreck, but right now I have a totally fucking adorable boy asleep on my lap who I don’t want to disturb, but I’ll get back to him later. For now, let me fill you in on everything you’ve missed. Previously on ‘Needlessly Dramatic Shit That Happens At Kingswood’ (which is totally what I imagine the story of our lives would actually be called!)
Anyway, the Survival Club camping trip happened on the anniversary of Chris and Danny’s accident, which had us all on edge and could have totally been rescheduled if you ask me (I told you… needlessly dramatic!!!!) But Danny came back safe and so did everyone else. It feels like a lot happened out in the woods, but it also feels like a lot happened back here at school while they were away as well.
Since Danny got back, he seems to be sluttier than ever, and no that’s not an insult, even though it sounds like one because society sucks. Fuck society!! Let’s just say he’s been ‘getting around’ a bit more, mainly with guys outside the dorm and it seems to be… having a weird effect. It’s like his love of sex has just spread through the whole of Year 9! I always figured Danny would spread something around the whole school I just always figured it’d be, like, Chlamydia or Gonori… Ghonorr… Gonna… Herpes (even auto correct couldn’t help me on that one!!) I haven’t really felt the ‘benefit’ of the sex craze though. I do KNOW most the other guys in Year 9, but not like proper mates so I still get crazy shy around them (shut up, yes I’m shy, fuck you!) But Danny seems to be loving it, which is great. I love seeing him happy SO much. He really deserves it after the shit he’s been through.
I guess Danny’s kinda been on a high too because of the SCIPS football tournament. They nearly lost their first match because of the ‘fucking adorable’ but also ‘fucking annoying’ boy currently drooling on my leg, but they came back fighting. They beat Fothergill in their second match and Crestwood in their third, which means they go through to round two. I mean, to me it’s all, like… ‘yay, sportball team go!’ but everyone seems to get really into it and the football players in the dorm are all happy about it, so… yay for them I guess.
If I’m done talking about Danny, I suppose I really have to tell you about Chris next, because wherever Danny goes, Chris follows! I know they’ve always been close (except when they’re not) but since the camping trip, Chris has been SO clingy with Danny. It’s always ‘where’s Danny’ and ‘is Danny okay’ and ‘how can I convince Dr Arkwright to have us surgically conjoined’. Okay, maybe not the last one, but I swear it’s how it feels. What amazes me is Danny doesn’t even seem bothered about it. If it was me, I’d be telling him to back off and give me some space by now, but that maybe says more about me than it does about them two!
On the rare occasions Chris actually manages to tear himself away from Danny, it’s usually to work on ‘A Midsummer Night’s Scream’. I’ve got to admit, I love the name AND the whole plot. Chris may think his writing is only good for songs, but he’s actually really good at writing other things too, even if he does get a bit obsessed with them. Anyway, he’s pretty much finished the script now and they’re having a vote in Drama Club soon for what play to enter in the SCIPS Drama Contest, so he’s really excited/nervous about that.
Before Christmas, Mr Trent and Blane went on a holiday together and took Chris and Danny with them. Nobody else is really meant to know, but a few of us do, cos Chris sucks at keeping secrets. I hear it went well, but I’m sure I’ll hear all the more scandalous details when they get back later today.
Mark’s still doing well, although one term in and some of us still call him ‘the new guy’ when I guess he really isn’t that new anymore. I was worried him and David wouldn’t get on, cos of the whole ‘replacing James’ thing but they both go to the gym with Danny most mornings and seem to have found a shared interest in that drag queen show David’s obsessed with. It’s so fucking cute/annoying when they start going ON about it. I really like Mark (and no, not just cos he’s hot… but FUCK ME is he hot!!) and I’m glad I can actually talk to him now. I think he’s kinda still finding himself at Kingswood, which is tough cos he’s also kinda stuck in his past at King Edwards. It’s tough seeing him struggle but I’m not really being close enough to really be much help. He’ll be okay though, I’m sure.
David’s had a really good December… I assume. Outside of mealtimes and classes, I feel like I’ve barely seen him. He’s back to being besties (ugh, yes, I just used the word besties… twice now, FML) with James and spends a lot of time with him, but he also seems to have a new friend – Ewan. Most of the others don’t really know him, but we both do diving together, and he seems cool. I can see why they got on, they’re both so nice. I’m glad to see David getting out there a bit more. He may be growing and catching up with the others up (obviously not with ridiculously giant me) but he could end up seven foot tall and we’d still call him our little bro. We do have a ‘just for fun’ bet going on what colour his hair’s gonna be when he gets back from Christmas break though. I’ve gone with green!
I think the highlight of Rob’s month was getting their second win in the SCIPS rugby tournament. They already had one win and a tie, so that meant they make it through to round two, which starts next weekend (see earlier ‘yay sportball’ comment). I’m really pleased for him as I know how hard he took it when his team didn’t win last year and he puts so much into that team (and also puts a lot into the other captains, if you know what I mean *wink wink*). He does seem a bit stressed out sometimes though when he’s off the pitch. A while back him and his bf decided to go monogamous, which is a tough thing to do at Kingswood because SEX IS EVERYWHERE! Especially since Danny began his sexcapades (ha, great word), I kinda think Rob’s feeling a bit left out, which is something I know he’s struggled with before. But that’s a pretty minor thing I suppose. That aside, him and Luke (the bf) seem so freaking adorably happy together I could vomit.
Just like I couldn’t mention Danny without talking about Chris, you can’t talk Rob without also talking about Josh! They’re so great together. Anyone who doesn’t know them as well as we do would probably think they hate each other based on the arguing and insults and banter ALL THE TIME but that’s just how they show they like each other. I heard Josh had an ‘interesting’ time on the camping trip - i.e. acted like a brat and got (proverbially) slapped down for it a couple of times by Mr Rudd. He’s been a bit like that for a while actually, but I mostly find it funny. There’s barely a day passes where at least one of the teacher’s doesn’t have to threaten him with detention for something. Him and Mikey didn’t spend as much time together as they did earlier in the term, which should be kinda sad but I’m low-key glad about. Josh really seems to being out the worst side of Mikey.
Speaking of Mikey, things are… I wanna say good, but maybe I should just say things are better! He has good days and he has bad days. On the good ones, he’s funny and sweet and so fun to be around but on the bad ones, he’s kinda… hard to be around. When he’s down or stressed he does this thing where he narrates what’s going on around him and what people are thinking. Most the others think it’s hilarious, cos they think he’s just playing around and being a bit bitchy cos he’s just REALLY honest and kinda says what everyone’s thinking. I’m not so sure though. Sometimes I don’t even think he knows he’s doing it. Sure, sometimes does do it on purpose just to mess with people or be annoying, but other times it’s like he’s not even in there. It’s usually when he gets really stressed out, like he hides away when it gets bad and switches to auto-pilot.
Then there are the REALLY bad days and I know we had this whole issue before because I said I was scared of him, but when he gets like that, I still kind of am. I think he knows that, and he does his best not to let ‘Psycho Mikey’ (which is what Josh calls him) out around me too much, but I hear other people talk about it and I hate it. Not just because I get scared of him, but because I really think he kinda scares himself too.
I wish I could do more to help, but I’m worried that talking to him about it might bring out Psycho Mikey and I don’t think I could handle it. Don’t get me wrong, like I said earlier, things are definitely better. I’d say we’re virtually back to the way things were before we dated, which is great because I have my best friend back, but something isn’t right and I don’t know what to do about it. We didn’t get to spend Christmas Day together, but Mikey came to stay with us the day after Boxing Day so we got most of a week together at my place, though I swear he was more excited to see mum and dad than me!!
And that’s everyone. Definitely not forgetting anyone. Nope, not at all. Me? No, we covered me already. Ugh, you’re such a nag, fiiiiiine. I’m… good. Really, I am, I promise. I’m still going to my therapy sessions, which is kinda surprising. I thought you were meant to go, have these big breakthroughs and then be all happy and cured, but it seems Hollywood (and the BBC) have lied to me! It’s been great though. I feel kinda bad telling you this stuff, as it still feels like I’m blaming my issues on you, but I promise I’m not! So much of what makes me tick just makes sense to me now. I’m not gonna go over it all now, cos that’s what my therapy sessions are for, but it’s all helping and I think I’m finally starting to actually feel comfortable in my own skin! Look at me, I’m growing (and I don’t just mean physically… which won’t stop!!!!!)
In other news, I’ve been practicing hard in the pool. After getting through the diving preliminaries, I’ve got the semi-finals coming up in a couple of weeks and Mr Francis keeps telling me not to be over-confident, but then he goes and tells me there is absolutely no chance of me not getting to the finals. Why does every guy in my life send such mixed messages?!?!?!
And that’s all I have to tell you. Absolutely, definitely not leaving anything out. Ugh, fine, I looked down and… there he is! Fucking Mikey. Just laying there being all… cute and innocent and unconscious and… drooly!! Yeah, he’s actually drooling on my leg while he naps which is disgusting but cute. I know he’s got all the issues I just mentioned, and I know we ONLY JUST got back to being friends again after I fucked things up once, but… breaking up with him was the biggest fucking mistake of my life. I love him. I love him so much it’s like someone his ripped my heart out, gave it freckles and an attitude and let it sleep in the bunk next to mine!
I think most of the others know, or have at least guessed, which makes me wonder if Mikey does too. Before we got together (the first time) he was deliberately NOT making a move on me (or Chris, or Danny) because he didn’t want to mess up our friendship. Admittedly, he seems to have had a point, but what if he’s doing the same now? What if he feels that way about me and wants to be with me again? But what if… he doesn’t? What if I go and blurt out ‘I love you’ and he says ‘fuck off, you hurt me once, you’re never getting the chance to do it again’? I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. I wish you were here. You’d know what to do, you always did.
SIGH! Yes, I wrote that, as I didn’t want to risk waking Mikey with a real one. Anyway, I guess that’s December in a nutshell. Term two is about to begin and the others should be back any time now, so… thanks for listening. Love you forever, bro xxx
*****
Mikey’s eyes opened and he looked up at the face peering down at him. “You’re staring!” he said sleepily.
“You’re drooling,” Nicky replied, eager to divert from the fact that he was, in fact, staring. “Ginger nut?” he asked, offering Mikey a biscuit as he sat up.
“What did you call me?” Mikey asked with a snigger.
“Every time!” Nicky grumbled as Mikey accepted the baked offering, though he’d never admit he liked having those funny little in-jokes.
“What you writing?” Mikey asked, nodding to Nicky’s laptop perched on the arm of the sofa as he shoved the whole biscuit into his mouth.
“Oh!” Nicky exclaimed, quickly closing the laptop. “Just… a letter to Matt,” he blushed. He had begun to get more open with the others in the dorm about his issues, and the therapy he was having to address them. It was no secret that speaking and writing to his deceased brother was one of his coping tools. That didn’t mean he wanted Mikey to see what he had written though.
“Duff he rut buck?” Mikey asked with his mouth full, spraying a few crumbs onto Nicky’s lap.
“Try that again AFTER you swallow!” Nicky said, brushing the crumbs away as he shook his head disapprovingly.
“I said,” Mikey started, having swallowed half the biscuit. He gulped and took the rest down, nearly choking on it, much to Nicky’s amusement. “Does he write back?”
“Erm no. He’s a bit too… dead for that!” Nicky said, frowning, unsure if he should be annoyed at Mikey for the question.
“No, I know that!” Mikey insisted, scowling in frustration. “I just mean… like… in your head. Does he ever… speak back to you or anything? Do you ever hear him, even though he’s not there?”
Nicky held himself back from answering too quickly… or sarcastically. Mikey wasn’t trying to be funny, or obtuse. It seemed like genuine curiosity, which seemed appropriate for a boy who still had an imaginary friend just 18 months earlier. “No,” Nicky said softly, reaching down to casually stroke Mikey’s hand. “I wish I could. I… barely remember what he sounded like!”
“Wanna try something?” Mikey asked sweetly, gently resting his hand on Nicky’s.
“Sure, I’ll fetch the lube!” Nicky sniggered.
“Not what I meant!” Mikey said, shaking his head, then grinned and said, “But definitely a good idea for later!” He pulled his phone out and tapped away for a moments then said, “Okay, just say… Hi Nicky!”
“Wh… what?” Nicky asked, realising what Mikey had planned. Feeling Mikey squeeze his hand as he gave a gentle nod, Nicky took a deep breath and said, “Hi Nicky!”
Mikey tapped a button on his screen then looked to the other boy and asked, “You ready?”
“No, but… go on!” Nicky said shakily.
Mikey pressed a button and his phone played the recording of “Hi Nicky!”
Nicky stared for a moment, then whimpered slightly, very visibly fighting back tears. He knew he wasn’t actually hearing his brother, but it felt close enough to hit him deeply. Mikey was on him in moments as he started to cry. “Thank you,” he whispered as they held tightly onto each other.
Mikey remained silent as he held the other boy, letting him take the time he needed to compose himself. As Nicky finally pulled away, he smiled and asked, “Did that earn me another ginger nut?”
“The whole fucking packet!” Nicky giggled, tossing the pack at him.
“Yusss!” Mikey hissed as he pulled one out and shoved it into his mouth. He held the pack out to Nicky and, mouth full, offered, “Jinjuh nuth?”

The boys had gathered on the sofas after dinner that evening, invited (or rather, ordered) by Danny to convene so they could talk.
“Whadda you think it is?” Rob asked curiously as he sat amongst the others.
“Maybe he’s gonna tell us he’s pregnant!” Mikey sniggered.
“Erm, who wants to tell him?” Rob asked with a smirk.
“To be fair,” Nicky quickly interjected, “You have as much sex as Danny, there has to be at least a small chance of it actually happening!” He smiled at the laughs he got, noting as always the way David seemed to mentally take note of the humour.
“You don’t think he’s leaving the dorm too, do you?” David asked nervously as the laughter died down, casually playing with his hair, now dyed deep green.
“What!?” Chris yelped, looking round in an obvious panic.
“David, don’t scare the animals like that!” Mikey sniggered, then reached out to pat Chris on the head as he added a condescending, “There, there!”
“Yeah, Danny’s not going anywhere. No fucking chance he’s smart enough to skip ahead!” Rob said with a grin.
“Maybe he’s being held back!” Josh said, tilting his head back to look up at Rob as he sat on the floor in front of him.
“Yeah, that sounds more likely!” Rob shrugged, getting another whimper from Chris.
“Whatever it is, he sounded pretty serious!” Mark added cautiously, only just building the nerve to actually join in on group conversations.
“Yeah, the only thing I thought Danny was ever serious about was sex!” Nicky said with a wry grin. Another laugh, another analytical stare from David. “Oh finally!” he called out as Danny walked into the dorm.
“Ah good, you’re all here!” Danny declared as he walked in and stood at the end of the sofas, looking across his seven dormmates. “I need to talk to you all about sex!”
All eyes fell to Nicky who smiled smugly and gave a slight shrug as everyone burst into laughter.
“Okay, I’ve clearly missed something!” Danny said, looking more than a little confused.
“Just a bit of shade, I’ll fill you in later!” David said, then his eyes flicked briefly to Nicky before he added, “And so will half of year nine probably!” As the rest of the boys laughed, David beamed with pride at the approving nod he got from Nicky.
“Very funny, but that’s… actually what I wanted to talk about,” Danny said, sounding serious again.
“Oh my god, you’ve actually been through all of year nine and we need to find some new victims for you?” Nicky called out. The laughter continued.
Danny pouted as he folded his arms, glaring at the group. “Dickheads,” he mumbled.
“Hey hey hey, ease off,” Nicky said, knowing how far to take it and that he had maybe just taken a bit further. “Sorry super-stud. Let’s hear it then!” he said as everyone quietened and looked to Danny.
“We have… a SEX DUNGEON downstairs!” Danny stated, like it was some big revelation. As everyone stared back at him silently, he went on, “We have a sex dungeon downstairs. And we have eight guys in here, and twenty-four more guys in our year, all of whom are randy little fuck-monkeys and we are NOT making the most of it!”
“Is it a sex dungeon?” “Randy little… fuck-monkeys?” “Did Danny just say whom?” “Small class sizes actually improve learning!” the boys chattered back.
“Come on. You gotta be with me on this!” Danny exclaimed. “I mean, did you know that most of the other dorms still don’t even TALK about wanking, let alone do it in the same room?”
“Oh, you mean the normal dorms!” Rob smirked.
“If by ‘normal’ you mean boring and sexually repressed, then yes!” Danny said pointedly. “But even if it doesn’t involve THEM, WE need to do more. We need to make the most of the time we have!”
“Danny, you’re not dying, are you?” Nicky asked, raising an eyebrow at the choice of words.
Chris let out a whimper and yelped, “You guys have GOT to stop saying stuff like that!” It earned a gentle, apologetic rub on the back from Nicky.
“Relax, I’m not dying!” Danny insisted. “I just…” he paused and sighed. “I heard something that really made me think!” He paused again but quickly added, “And anyone who makes a joke about me ‘thinking’ is gonna get a kick in the balls!”
“Hey,” Nicky said, holding an arm out as he looked as concerned as the rest of the group. He beckoned Danny over as Mikey shifted across, just making enough room for Danny to sit between them as Nicky put an arm around him. “Wanna tell us about it?”
Danny sighed and nodded. “I’m guessing you all… know about me and Danny going away with Blane and Levi… erm… Mr Trent, yeah?” He got a nod from everyone. “It was… while we were away!”
*****
11 days earlier
“Come on, I’ve got one burger left!” Levi called out from the barbecue. “Someone’s gotta have it!”
“I eat one more thing and I won’t fit into my swimwear tomorrow!” Danny groaned.
“You don’t wear one!” Chris giggled, slapping Danny’s bare butt, the two boys sitting around casually naked while Blane and Levi worse swim shorts.
“Exactly my point!” Danny sniggered.
“Go on then,” Blane called out from the lounger he was lying on near Levi. “I’ll take one for the team!” he said, then as he stood to retrieve the burger he grinned and added, “And then I’ll eat the last burger!”
“Fucking perv!” Levi sniggered.
Danny gasped and called out, “Mr Trent said a swear!”
“Danny!” the young man said, waving his barbecue tongs menacingly. “What did I say would happen if you called me Mr Trent again while we’re here!” he said, advancing slowly.
“You said you’d let me and Chris spit roast you!” Danny said with a grin.
“He did?” Blane and Chris both yelped out in unintended unison.
“No,” Danny giggled, “But it’s worth a try, right?”
Blane sat down and already regretted agreeing to take the burger, but smiled and called out, “Well we just had a barbecue, so a spit roast does seem kind of appropriate!”
“Don’t you encourage them!” Levi said, shaking his head at his boyfriend.
“You see any other meat you’re interested in…” Danny asked as he stretched out, fully on display to the man, “… MISTER Trent?”
“Oh, that is IT!” Levi sniggered as he lunged at Danny.
“No! Protect me!” Danny yelped as he jumped towards Chris.
Chris looked momentarily panicked as he grabbed Danny and held him tightly, but then regained his composure and said, “Nah, mate. You brought this on yourself!” He shoved Danny towards the approaching man.
“Gotcha!” Levi said as he grabbed him Danny. He quickly took a seat on the sun lounger Danny had just vacated and pulled the boy over his lap.
Danny made a token gesture of resistance, but they all knew he could have easily gotten away had he wanted to. “No, stop it,” he called out, though he was giggling as he did it.
“Last chance,” Levi said, raising his hand over Danny’s buttock. “WHAT did you call me?”
“I CALLED YOU LEVI!” Danny yelped out, then smirked as he added a quiet, “Mr Trent!”
SLAP! The man’s hand swiped down to slap one of Danny’s buttocks, getting a yelp from the boy and uproarious laughter from both Smith siblings.
“I warn you, I’m full of meat!” Danny called out.
“Nothing new there then!” Levi laughed as he swatted the other cheek.
Danny continued to squirm, though mostly he was just using it as an opportunity to grind his almost-instantly hard cock against the teacher’s lap. “This is a sackable offence, ya know!” he protested.
“Only if you can prove it!” Levi grinned, then looked from Chris to Blane and back as he asked, “Anyone see anything happen?”
“Nope!” Chris called out.
“Didn’t see a thing!” Blane added.
“TRAITORS! YOU’LL ALL BURN IN HELL FOR THIS!” Danny screamed out. As the others went silent, he gave an awkward chuckle and asked, “Too far?”
“A tad!” Levi nodded, then immediately broke the tension by adding two more quick slaps, one to each of Danny’s buttocks. He let Danny go and shook his head as the boy stood, his cock standing out proudly from his body, the tip glistening with pre-cum in the evening sun.
“You should REALLY start what you finish!” Danny said as he straddled the man’s lap seductively.
“You’re right,” Levi said, leaning in close. As his lips neared Danny’s, they curled into a grin as he said, “I should clean down the barbecue!” He climbed to his feet and threw Danny into the pool. “And you cool off!” he added as Danny splashed to the surface.
“Rude!” Danny grumbled as he lifted himself out of the pool and stood, beads of water trickling down his body and catching the light, his cock every bit as hard as when he had been on the teacher’s lap. “Come onnnnn, you gotta help me out!” he pleaded as he ran up to Levi, his dick bobbing ahead of him.
“Hey, we told you when we got here. Me and Blane are MONOGAMOUS!” Levi said bluntly. “I know that may be a foreign word to you but let me translate. It’s Latin for ‘I’m not wanking off a teenage boy!’ Okay?”
“Wait, is it really?” Danny asked, getting a laugh from the two adults.
“I’ll wank off a teenage boy!” Chris declared happily.
“At least someone wants me!” Danny pouted as he padded back across to Chris, his wet feet slapping loudly against the marble poolside. As Chris shifted over, almost falling off the side of the sun lounger, Danny lay at his side, each of them quickly taking hold of the other’s dick, the show seemingly having turned Chris on as much as the spanking had for Danny.
They held onto each other tightly as they quickly tugged at each other’s cocks, either oblivious to Blane and Levi or enjoying the audience. Either way, it didn’t take long before they were shooting their loads over each other’s straining pricks.
Coming down quickly from their shared orgasm, full of food from the barbecue and exhausted by the sun-soaked day, Chris quickly drifted off to sleep in Danny’s arms. Danny closed his eyes as he held him, but remained awake.
Blane stared across at his little brother and smiled. He glanced down at the half-eaten burger on his plate and shook his head. “Yeah, I can’t finish this!” he finally admitted defeat as he walked over to Levi.
“You did your best and that’s all I can ask,” Levi grinned.
“Oy, don’t use that teacher talk on me!” Blane sniggered as he wrapped his arms around the other man.
They leaned in for a long slow kiss before they parted slightly. Levi leaned against the taller man as they held onto each other, his head turned away to look over at the two boys and he let out a deep sigh. “God I wish I had what they have!” he said sadly.
“Stomachs covered in spunk and imminent indigestion?” Blane asked with a wry grin.
Levi pulled back and shook his head disapprovingly. “I’m being serious!” he said, a little upset.
Blane gave him a quick peck on the lips followed by a gentle, “Sorry. Whadda you mean?”
They both turned to look now, still holding each other tightly. “Look at them!” Levi said, shaking his head at the two naked, entangled bodies, so effortlessly at ease with themselves and each other. “They get to… be themselves, they get to love who they love and just… be whoever they want to be. They’ve got a…” he paused, trying to think of the right way to put it.
“A safe place?” Blane suggested, getting a nod in return. “You… didn’t have that?” he asked softly.
Levi shook his head, then leaned forward a little to rest his forehead against Blane’s shoulder. “Definitely not. Did you?”
Blane shrugged a little. “I… well, I never even figured out I was bi until I was long finished at school, so for me I really got the whole… straight experience, so I don’t really… have any concept of what it would’ve been like. Was it… bad?” He let one hand slide up Levi’s back and into his hair, scratching gently.
“I didn’t come out at school,” Levi explained. “I mean… I KNEW I was gay and I… I wanted people I cared about to know but…” he paused, trembling slightly. “There was this guy I went to school with. We were friends… not, like, best friends but… close enough to hang out sometimes. I actually had a bit of a crush on him.” He smiled a moment as he reminisced, but it dropped as he continued. “One weekend, he… went to this party and he had a couple of drinks which I think, ya know, made him a bit braver and he tried to kiss his best friend!”
“The… friend didn’t take it well?” Blane asked, holding his boyfriend tightly, feeling Levi’s fingers gripping into him nervously.
“No. No he didn’t,” Levi said, shaking his head. “He told EVERYONE. Like, totally outed him and people were… not kind. He’d fallen in love with his best friend and it ruined his life.”
“Bullied?” Blane asked, struggling to say much more.
Levi went to speak, but just sniffed as he held tightly onto Blane. He took a deep shaky breath and said, “He ended up… he… he killed himself because it got that bad. All he did was fall in love and he died for it! I always wonder if I could have done more, like… come out myself or… or… reached out to him, but I didn’t cos I was too scared of being outed myself.” He cried for a moment before he pulled back and wiped his cheeks. Sounding more determined than upset now, he said firmly, “So I will NEVER let anything like that happen to any of my boys!”
Blane simply nodded his agreement and understanding.
Levi sighed again, this time mildly more positive as he looked over to Danny and Chris again and said, “They’re so fucking lucky. It won’t last forever, but I hope they enjoy every fucking day of happiness they can find!”
Danny sniffed quietly as he held Chris just a little tighter.

NOW
Danny had edited the version he shared with his friends, protecting the young teacher from even a hint of impropriety, but he had still shared the details of Mr Trent’s lost schoolmate.
“Fuck,” Nicky whispered as he held Danny, clearly shaken.
The silence from the rest of the group suggested a similar reaction.
“People really die for being gay, don’t they?” Josh asked, mostly rhetorically.
“Not just gay,” David added. “Anything… different!” he said sadly.
“Sorry,” Danny said meekly, followed by a quiet sniff. “I didn’t mean to bring everyone down, it’s just… he’s right. I know this place isn’t perfect but it’s pretty fucking awesome and… we really DON’T have a lot of time here. I mean… fuck… year seven was two YEARS ago but it feels like yesterday!”
“Yeah, and it feels like I’ve barely been here a single term!” Mark added, getting laughs at different times as the boys caught on. “Sorry,” he smiled at Danny. “But… from someone who’s BEEN at one of those… really shitty schools, yeah,” He paused, nodding for a moment. “This place is fucking paradise… and I mean literally FUCKING paradise!” He again got more laughs as more of the boys got the joke.
“Fuck, Mark got a sense of humour for Christmas!” Danny grinned back at him.
“Nah, I’ve always had it, I just didn’t want you to all hate me for being this hot AND this funny before you got to know me!” Mark said, flashing his cheesiest grin.
“It’s okay, I hated you anyway, so I guess that didn’t really work out for ya!” Danny teased, slightly self-deprecatingly.
“Geez, get a room!” Mikey sniggered.
“Gladly,” Danny said, winking playfully at Mark.
“Yeah, he’s not crossed you off his list of conquests yet,” Nicky said, pulling the arm around Danny’s neck tight enough to almost choke him for a moment as he laughed. “Okay, so come on then, oh sexy chosen one. Let’s hear your plan!”
“Plan?” Danny repeated, looking a little shocked.
“You don’t have a plan?” David asked, shaking his head. “So it was, like, step one - traumatise us and demand sex, step three – happiness through sexiness… but NO idea what step two is?”
“Erm… yeah… kinda,” Danny shrugged. “I’m the motivation guy, not the idea guy!”
“Actually…” Mikey said with a wry grin, “I might have an idea!”

Monday 03 January 2022
The first morning back after Christmas break could be a bit of a downer for much of the school, particularly the lower years who were still getting used being at school and leaving their families behind. The excitement and revelry of Christmas and New Year was behind them and all that seemed to lay ahead was MORE school! While the Year 7 and 8 boys were left to wallow in the post-break depression, the older students (i.e. the ones who were aware of the Kingswood Underground) were feeling an unusual buzz of excitement.
Classes didn’t start until the next day, which meant a full day of free time. The Dining Hall was filled with students catching up with each other over breakfast, sharing tales of Christmas presents and family arguments. The boys of dorm 1.09 had gone for breakfast, together as always, but were drawing even more attention than usual.
“Great idea, lads!” a Year 13 student said casually as he strolled past them.
“Fucking love it. Can’t wait for tonight!” a cheerful Year 10 added as he wandered along with a couple of mates.
The boys giggled at each other excitedly as the compliments kept coming. “This is AMAZING!” David said, staring at his phone. “Like… seriously… I swear most of years nine to thirteen have booked to come and watch!”
“Wow, no pressure then!” Chris sighed, shaking his head.
“Oh what are YOU worried about?” Mikey demanded. “All you gotta do is turn up and answer some questions wrong!”
“Hey, I plan to win!” Chris insisted.
“And I plan to be two feet taller, hung like a donkey and richer than Bill Gates but I reckon today’s gonna be disappointing for us both!” David joked back, getting hysterical laughter from the other boys.
“Savage!” Nicky giggled, giving David a playful nudge and proud smirk.
“I MIGHT win!” Chris pouted.
Mikey’s idea to help Danny spread the love of sex had turned out to be the first (of hopefully many) ‘Kingswood Underground Strip Poker Night’. More than just a simple game of cards, Mikey had devised a whole gameshow set-up that drew it out into a longer night of entertainment. Contestants competed in teams of three, taking part in a number of physical and mental challenges to earn cards to build the best poker hand, with the best final hand winning the show and the grand prize.
Spectators paid to be part of the audience, their COK payments being used to make up the grand prize, while also allowing Mikey to take a cut as the event organiser. The losers of each challenge would be forced to remove clothing throughout the show. The overall losers of the whole show were obligated to take part in the ‘losers showcase’ at the end of the show which was, unashamedly, a straight-up sex show. For sheer entertainment value alone, the event was proving to be popular, but with the addition of the ‘extra’ entertainment at the end, students were literally throwing their COK at the boys to get into the audience.
Chris was one of the contestants taking part that evening, having been convinced to form a team with Danny and Rob, although he had been forced to promise his two teammates that he would not deliberately lose just to get himself subjected to public sex and nudity.
“Okay, everyone finished?” Mikey asked as he looked round at the empty plates and dishes, keen to get going on preparation for the night’s event. “Josh, Rob and Chris, you’re in the Art department making props. Mark and Danny, we need podiums for the buzzers, the DT department should have everything you need, link up with David when you’ve got most of it done and he’ll help with getting it fixed up to the screens. David, you’re with me getting stuff set up downstairs. Nicky, you’re on questions and challenges. You need anything made for a challenge, either knock it up yourselves or hit Josh up.”
Danny shuddered a little and whispered to Nicky, “He’s really hot when he takes charge!”
“Yeah,” Nicky sighed, staring at the ginger boy dreamily, before he shook his head and said a little dismissively, “Yeah, whatever!”
“Okay, you’ve got your orders, minions!” Mikey said as the other boys looked at him. “Get to it!”
As the boys began to disperse, Nicky grabbed David and pulled him aside. “Hey, erm… can you… could you keep an eye on Mikey today?” he requested quietly. “He’s… taking on a lot with this idea and when he gets stressed…”
“I’ll let you know if I need you,” David replied, with a gentle nod. “But we’ve worked together on stuff before. This sorta stuff actually tends to keep him…” he paused to think of the right word. “Grounded!” David said happily.
Nicky smiled as he contemplated David’s perspective on it. It was definitely a comfort to know Mikey was in good hands, with someone who actually seemed to understand him.

“I’m glad you know what you’re doing, cos I’m fucking clueless!” Danny exclaimed as he watched Mark work, randomly hitting a piece of wood with a hammer to give the illusion of productivity. “Pretty sure Mikey only put me with you cos it’s the place I can do the least damage!” As Mark looked at the hammer and raised an eyebrow, he added, “Or not!” and put it aside.
“S’okay, I guess it’s a case of just doing what you know!” Mark said, his penchant for woodwork already well established during DT lessons in his first term at the school.
Danny rolled his eyes and said, “Is that where you make a joke about me having lots of sex?”
“No,” Mark said, shaking his head. He grinned and added, “But I should have. Can’t believe I missed it! Here, come and hold this!”
“Yay, I’m useful!” Danny said a little sarcastically.
“I guess we’re both used to handling wood!” Mark said with a wry grin. As he got a glare from Danny, he asked, “I got at least one joke in the end. Don’t worry, I’ll leave it at just the one!”
Danny exhaled heavily and said, “Here I was expecting a nice chill day before school starts up and… BAM… hard labour!” Getting another eyebrow raise from Mark, he said, “I never said I was DOING the hard labour myself! I’m just… near it!”
“Mmm-huh,” Mark hummed as he continued working. Wanting to fill the silence that followed, he asked, “Are you looking forward to round two of the footie tournament?”
“SO much!” Danny beamed, suddenly livening up. “You guys are doing FUCKING amazing! And I hate to admit it, but you are WAY better in goal than I ever was!”
“Thanks,” Mark blushed slightly.
“So… are YOU okay with the footie thing?” Danny asked cautiously.
Mark smirked and started, “Yeah, I’m ready to throw myself at those balls. A bit like…”
“Don’t!” Danny stopped him mid-tease. “You said you were leaving it at one. I WILL bench you if I have to!” As Mark sniggered, Danny looked at him for a moment and said, “Anyway, I didn’t really mean the actual football part. I know Gregory’s been around… sort of… for the other matches, but… round two we’re actually gonna be playing King Edwards!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll still play well!” Mark said firmly.
“Don’t doubt it,” Danny chuckled. “But I was more worried about, like, your feelings and shit!”
“Wow… ‘feelings and shit’. Have you considered a career as a therapist?” Mark asked, clearly deflecting. Danny just stared at him until he sighed and said, “I… I don’t know. It’s hard because he hates me for snitching on him, but I know he still cares on some level too, and I’m the same. I… it’s really hard kinda loving and hating someone at the same time!”
“Yeah that sounds… totally fucking mental, to be honest!” Danny said with a shrug.
Mark hummed thoughtfully for a moment and carried on working. After a couple of minutes, he said quietly, “Danny.”
“Yeeeeees?” Danny asked with a playful smirk.
“Do you… enjoy sex?” Mark asked timidly.
Danny rolled his eyes and huffed. “Ha ha, save the sarcasm!” he complained.
“No, I’m… I’m not… being sarcastic,” Mark said, pursing his lips thoughtfully as he stared down at his work. “It’s just… well… me and Gregory used to do stuff but it was never really… fun!”
“He didn’t…. force you, did he?” Danny asked, panicking a little.
“No!” Mark insisted, shaking his head. “I mean… not really. He was… is… really manipulative and he’d always… talk me into doing what HE wanted but it was always about HIS pleasure.”
Danny cocked his head curiously. “You’ve done things with Chris since you’ve been here, right?” As Mark nodded, Danny asked, “Did you… enjoy them?”
“Yeah!” Mark said with a nod, though he still frowned a little. “But it was… always me doing things TO Chris.” As Danny looked mildly alarmed, he quickly added, “My choice, not Chris’. He was… I mean, is… great. He knows about these issues too and he’s tried to help. He’s not like Gregory if that’s what you were thinking!”
“That’s a relief,” Danny sighed. “So… are Gregory and Chris the only guys you’ve actually been with?”
Mark nodded and said, “Yeah, so I’m, like, one good and one bad, but neither of them have ever… touched… me!”
Danny nodded for him to go on.
“And I’m…” Mark paused, looking round. They were alone as they had been all morning, but it felt like sharing something so private was about to bring a parade of people through the room. As he saw they remained alone, he said softly, “I’m kinda scared that… that I won’t like it but… but I… I WANT to like it cos it’s… well, it’s fun… or it’s meant to be and… and you seem to like it!”
“A lot!” Danny added with a grin. “Thought I’d save you the effort of saying it,” he sniggered. “Look, I’m not really a sexpert… that’s a sex expert…”
“I got that!” Mark chuckled.
“But yeah, I do it a lot and… I love it!” Danny said, sighing happily. “Sex is… amazing. It’s… so many things. I do it with friends and it makes me feel closer to them. I do it with my boyfriend and it makes me love him even more. I do it with strangers and it’s an exciting risk. But one thing it is, no matter who I’m with…”
“Is fun?” Mark asked, curiously.
“Well yeah, it’s fun,” Danny nodded, “But I was actually gonna say… no matter who I’m with, it’s a two-way thing! It sounds like… you really didn’t have that with Gregory and then you’ve carried that on with Chris. I’m not saying I know for certain, but if I had to guess I’d say it probably won’t BE fun until you start making it a two-way thing instead of something you just DO to someone else!”
Mark chuckled. “And you say you’re not a sexpert! Sounds pretty sexperty to me!” he said with a nod.
“Thanks, good to know I’ve got one subject I’ll get an A in!” Danny joked.
“And a few Ds I’d imagine too!” Mark added, laughing.
“Ha, nice!” Danny sniggered, offering a congratulatory fist bump.
“Hey, do you… think we’re maybe due for a break soon?” Mark asked, gulping slightly.
A grin spread across Danny’s face. “Oh, I know that tone. What can I interest you in?” he asked slyly.
“Could you… I mean… could WE… erm…” Mark paused, making a wanking gesture.
“Ourselves or each other?” Danny asked. The blush he got in return was all the answer he needed. “Sounds good to me, but… I don’t wanna step on Chris’ toes!” He quickly raised his hands defensively and said, “I know you’re not together and don’t wanna be, I just mean… erm, well you know Chris is my BEST friend, but… David was my FIRST friend so I know that’s a special kind of bond that I figure you and Chris might have. I wouldn’t wanna get in the way of that!”
“Yeah, you’re right, it’s just… erm… if I don’t… erm…” Mark trailed off slightly, looking guilty.
Danny frowned for a moment and nodded. “Ah, if it goes horribly, horribly wrong, you’d rather it NOT be with Chris!”
“Yeah, is that… really offensive. I’m sorry!” Mark apologised.
“It’s not. I understand,” Danny insisted. “And… I’m happy to be your guinea pig! Come on, storeroom round the corner’s lockable so we won’t get caught!”
“Of course you’d know that!” Mark chuckled as he followed Danny out, down the hallway and into the small storeroom.
Danny locked the door and turned to face Mark. He held back a full-on laugh as he said, “Mate, you look proper scared!”
Mark shrugged as he said, “Well that’s only because I really, really am!”
Danny pursed his lips as he nodded for a second before he agreed, “I guess that’s a pretty good reason then!” He moved closer and said, “You do know you don’t HAVE to do anything if you don’t want to, right? Just cos I’m at it and so’s half the school, that doesn’t mean there’s any pressure to do literally anything!”
Mark’s arms suddenly shot out and he grabbed Danny, pulling him into a quick but intense hug. “And THAT is why I like it here so much. Nobody woulda said shit like that at King Edwards!” As Danny beamed proudly, Mark insisted, “But I WANT this. I want it a lot. I wanted it… with Greg, but… well that’s just not happening, so… let’s do it!” Clearly wanting to show his enthusiasm, Mark reached down and pulled down the front of his joggers and underwear, a meaty cock flopping free.
Danny bit his lip as he looked at Mark. He was undeniably hot young man, though he looked slightly comedic stood there fully dressed with his cock and balls hanging out.
“D’you… wanna sit down or anything?” Danny asked softly.
“I’m not entirely sure I can actually move right now!” Mark said, his voice wavering.
Danny looked up at the taller boy sympathetically and started, “Are you sure…”
“Please just do it!” Mark yelped.
Danny reached out and took hold of the flaccid cock. He didn’t do much at first, he just held it, feeling the warm thickness of it as it began to thicken in his grasp.
“Oh!” Mark gasped, almost inaudibly, staring at Danny with genuine shock and awe. “That… that feels… nice!”
“Yeah?” Danny checked, reaching up to wipe a tear from Mark’s cheek.
Mark watched the finger pull away, the tiny bead of moisture smeared on it. “If you tell anyone I cried the first time I got wanked off, I’ll end you!” he threatened, sounding not even remotely serious.
“Noted!” Danny chuckled, then added another when he felt Mark reach to pull his cock out. Unlike Mark, he was already hard.
They stood in relative silence as they jerked each other off for a couple of minutes, both enjoying the sensations but not yet close to climax.
“C’mere,” Danny said, nodding over to the wall where he sat down, pushing his jeans and underwear down to his ankles as he did it.
Mark copied with his joggers, but realised he probably should have moved first as he had to shuffle his way across the small storeroom with the clothing bunches round his ankles, much to Danny’s amusement, to sit down beside him.
“That side,” Danny said, gesturing to his right. “You’re a leftie, aren’t ya?”
“Been looking, have you?” Mark asked as he sat.
“Not even gonna pretend I haven’t,” Danny shrugged as he reached out to resume stroking as Mark did the same. “Come on then, now the genie’s out of the bottle… or will be shortly,” he paused to giggle, “Who’s on your hit list?”
Mark laughed and then blushed as he asked, “This stays between us, right?”
“Totally,” Danny insisted.
“Unnh,” Mark grunted, clearly enjoying the gentle handjob. “So I may have had… occasional fantasies about… everyone in the dorm at some point!” He sensed Danny about to speak and said, “Yes, even you, shut up or lose a bollock!”
“Shutting up!” Danny smirked. “Any… particular fantasies?” he asked inquisitively.
“Not really, just… I dunno, everyone’s so nice and they all have… something! Not all of them are sexual, not completely anyway.” Mark said, frowning a little. He glanced at the hand stroking away at his dick and moved his own hand in time with it. “I HAVE to play with Rob’s nipples!”
“Obviously!” Danny agreed.
“With Chris, his… it’s his cum face. It’s so stupid and I love it. I wanna make it happen more!” Mark explained, getting a nod of agreement. “Mikey’s just so freaking cute. Nicky’s got the most fucking gorgeous dick I’ve seen in my life. You’ve got…” he reached over with his other hand to slide it under Danny’s t-shirt to stroke his abs, “All of this going on… fuck!”
“Ahhh yeah,” Danny grunted, aroused by Mark’s arousal.
“David’s just… too adorable. I kinda wanna just pick him up and hold him like a teddy bear!” Mark said, giggling a little.
“I can honestly say I think he’d kinda love that!” Danny nodded. “What about… Josh?”
Mark sighed, his hand slowing a little until Danny gave it a nudge to speed up. “He reached out to me and tried to help me WAAAY before I even came here. He… helped me through tough times without even really knowing, but now the more I learn about the stuff he’s been through, I… I dunno how to explain it!”
“You wanna protect him!” Danny exclaimed. “You wanna just… take him and keep him safe from every bad thing that could ever happen because it feels like he’s already dealt with more than anyone ever should!”
“Yeah!” Mark exclaimed, surprised to hear his own thoughts in someone else’s words. “You too then?”
Danny nodded and leaned sideways a little, resting against the taller boy as they both sighed gently, their orgasms getting close.
“Jesus, this… ah… shit yeah. I’m close, like… twenty seconds maybe,” Mark gasped, gulping a little as his whole body tensed. “Ah, oh yeah… that’s… that’s it… unnnnnnh!” His thick tool throbbed in Danny’s hand, shooting out thick ropes of spunk ahead of them.
“That’s… so hot…” Danny gasped and began to shoot his own load too. Still partway through his orgasm, he glanced at where his load had landed and giggled, “Beat ya!”
*****
“Okay, final checks!” Mikey called out, having remained fully in charge all day. They had cut it close, but everything had come together well and what they found themselves with was a thoroughly impressive-looking set-up for the show that certainly didn’t look like it had been thrown together in a single day.
Mikey worked through his checklist ready for the show and, satisfied that everything was in place, let the ‘volunteers’ go to either get ready to spectate, or prepare themselves to take part.
“You sure you didn’t give anything away to Chris or the others?” Mikey asked Nicky, who had been charged with preparing the actual questions and challenges. “I don’t want anyone accusing us of favouritism if they win!”
“Relax, you can’t possibly think I DON’T want to see Chris and Danny lose this, can you?” Nicky sniggered.
“Good point,” Mikey giggled. “I’ll see ya later, I’m gonna go make sure Joseph’s ready too!”
“Hey, wait up!” Nicky said, grabbing Mikey’s shoulder as he turned. The short, ginger boy stared up at him curiously. “I just… I wanted…” Nicky hesitated, unsure if what he wanted to say was actually going to be nice, running through the ways Mikey could twist it into something to get annoyed about. “Well done!” he finally said with a nod.
“Thanks?” Mikey frowned, a little confused.
“I just mean…” Nicky paused and sighed, “Look, you thought this thing up, you… got everyone working together to make something that’s gonna be SO fun and you’ve…” he paused again, but decided to say it, “… you’ve handled the pressure REALLY well.”
“Oh,” Mikey said, then nodded a little as he said, “Yeah, I guess.”
“I’m just trying to say… I’m SO fucking proud of you, okay, that’s… that’s all!” Nicky said, still worried he might have triggered Mikey into a mood.
“You’re… proud of me?” Mikey asked, staring at Nicky wide-eyed.
“Sorry, that was stupid. Forget I said anything!” Nicky blushed as he went to turn away.
Mikey lunged out and grabbed Nicky, wrapping his arm around his waist as he squeezed him and said a quiet, “Thank you!”
Nicky raised his arms to hold Mikey for a few moments before he went to let go.
“No, longer!” Mikey insisted. “Long hugs… help!”
“Well take as long as you need then,” Nicky said before planting a kiss on the top of his head as he continued holding him.
*****
“Well it’s all to play for as we move onto… the FINAL ROUND!” Joseph announced dramatically. There was a sudden hush from the audience, then Joseph frowned and said, “Oh, I really thought we’d have some dramatic sound effects for that!” The crowd burst into laughter.
The boys had brainstormed potential hosts for their show and while a few people sprang to mind, Joseph felt like the most natural choice. Danny had been particularly keen to have him involved. Several weeks earlier, Joseph had broken up with his semi-serious, semi-long-term boyfriend Ian and he had taken it pretty hard. He seemed okay after a couple of weeks, but both Danny and Brian had picked up on little details here and there that anyone closer to him might have missed that suggested he was still struggling, though he continued to insist he was fine.
One thing Danny knew for certain was that Joseph could work an audience and that was what he had done since the very first moments of the ‘gameshow’ that evening. He had them laughing, cheering and completely engrossed in the game, adding to the ecstatic atmosphere. Danny couldn’t help but be concerned about one thing – if Joseph was this good at putting on a show, of presenting the cheerful, lively façade needed to keep things moving, was that what he was doing with his break-up too?
Joseph issues aside, Danny found himself on the brink of another problem – he was currently stood wearing nothing more than his underwear, alongside a similarly-attired Chris and Rob while a crowd of almost 150 students cheered for them. On the opposite side of the stage area the other team were in a similar position, near naked and cheered on by the crowd. The game and its challenges had been sneakily designed, clearly intended to keep things fairly balanced throughout the main show to ensure it all came down to the final challenge, all whilst ensuring all of the competitors removed as much clothing as possible!
“Okay team two,” Joseph said, grinning at Danny and his teammates. “Team one got five questions right. Beat that and you get your choice of the final card!” He gestured to the display at the back of the stage currently showing the two team’s current cards, along with the two oversized cards available for this round – one visible, one not. “Also, members of the losing team have to remove an item of clothing, but nobody cares about that… right?” He flashed a grin to the audience who cheered wildly at the imminent nudity.
“Fuck!” Rob muttered. “Okay, only shout out if you KNOW the answer, no guessing, pass quickly if nobody knows, got it?”
“Got it!” Chris and Danny agreed.
“Okay, can I get 45 seconds on the clock please. Your time starts when I ask the first question!” Joseph called out as the audience quietened. “Name the six… infinity stones!”
“Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Power and…” Rob called out, but paused, thinking.
“Reality!” Danny called out quickly.
“Correct,” Joseph said as Danny high-fived Rob. “How many laws of motion are there?”
“Three!” Rob blurted out.
“Correct. What year was Fortnite released?” Joseph asked.
“Two thousand and…” Chris started, pausing as he realised he was doing exactly what Rob had just told him not to. “Seven… teen?”
“Correct!” Joseph called out, then asked, “Who has the most UK number one singles?”
Danny and Rob both turned to Chris instantly who smiled and answered, “Elvis Presley!”
“Correct. What is the most downloaded app from the Apple Store?” Joseph asked.
Feeling confidently on a roll, Chris called out, “YouTube!”
“Incorrect, it’s TikTok!” Joseph said, shaking his head.
“Sorry,” Chris cringed a little to his teammates.
“How many student dormitories are there in the Home Building?” Joseph asked.
“Oh!” Danny exclaimed, quickly thinking, counting up.
“Quickly!” Rob urged him.
“Plus thirty-two,” Danny muttered, then leaned to the microphone and yelped, “Sixty!”
“Correct!” Joseph called out, surprised.
“And Danny’s fucked in all of them!” Chris added.
As the audience laughed Joseph moved on, seeing time about to run out as he asked, “The Vivienne, Baga Chips and Krystal Versace are all examples of what?”
The three boys looked at each other panicked, then Danny suddenly pointed to David who was sat on the front row and called out, “Oh! Oh oh oh! THEY’RE DRAG QUEENS!”
“Correct and time is up!” Joseph called out as the audience cheered wildly. “So I make that six correct answers, which makes you the winners of the final round!” More cheering followed as team one reluctantly removed their underwear, standing naked before the baying horde of spectators until Joseph gestured for silence. “So, which card is it to be? The King of Spades or the… MYSTERY CARD?” Joseph gestured to the cards. “Yeah, we really need sound effects!” he said with a smirk.
Chris, Rob and Danny immediately huddled up as Rob said, “That king gives us a strong hand, but if the mystery card’s an ace, we’ve pretty much won no matter what!”
“Yeah, but if it’s not, we’re probably handing them the win!” Danny replied, glancing at the board.
Chris looked over at the cards, frowned, then leaned back into the huddle and said, “I still don’t get poker, but I wanted to look like I’m contributing!” It got an amused, if slightly frustrated, chuckle from the other two.
“Gonna have to hurry you up, lads,” Joseph called out, then grinned as he added, “Mostly because I’m bored and want to get to the sex. Am I right ladies and gents?” The crowd cheered wildly again.
The three boys nodded, having reached a decision. “We’ll take the king!” Rob said into the mic.
“The king it is!” Joseph called out.
Andy, Mikey’s mentor, had agreed to act as assistant on the show. He took the card and placed it with the others, showing their team now had two pairs, aces and kings. He walked back to grab the mystery card and approached the other team’s hand.
“This is it, fellas,” Joseph called out. “If this is a club, or a ten… team one wins. Anything else and it’s team two for the win. Glamourous assistant…” he paused to look at Andy, shrugged and said, “Well… adequately attractive assistant,” the crowd laughed, “REVEAL THE MYSTERY CARD!”
Andy span the card to reveal the king of clubs. The crowd went wild.
“Yay!” Chris called out, then frowned as he saw the expressions on Danny and Rob’s faces. “Not yay? We lost?”
“We lost!” Rob pouted.
“Yeah, get it off!” the crowd cheered, eager for more nudity as team one grabbed their clothes and exited the stage, having won but wanting to cover up.
“Oh no, how awful,” Chris sniggered as he shamelessly whipped down his boxers to reveal the erection the crowd had spotted the moment it popped up. He raised his hands in unearned triumph as he heard the cheering.
Rob looked to Danny and shook his head. “You actually enjoy this showing off?”
“Right now, no… but mention it later and I’ll probably cum!” Danny said, shrugging slightly. His relationship with embarrassment was a complex one that he had just learned to roll with by now.
“You’re a… weird one!” Rob smirked.
“Shut up and strip!” Danny grinned, then reached down and removed his underwear too. Despite the stated lack of enjoyment, he was sporting an erection much the same as Chris, though he made much less of a show it.
Rob sighed and did the same, glancing briefly to Luke who was sat in the audience. Despite their new-found monogamy, Luke had given his agreement for Rob to take part and was clearly loving every moment of seeing Rob lose.
“And there we go, ladies and gents. A round of applause for our winners wherever they’re hiding!” There was a cheer from ‘backstage’ before Joseph continued, “But let’s face it… you’re here for the losers!” Joseph called out as the crowd applauded. “Anyone not wanting to witness the show, you know where the exits are. Everyone else… enjoy! I’ve been Joseph Hunter, thank you and good night!”
The crowd went wild, more for Joseph than the three naked boys awaiting their fate. Surprisingly, a few students did actually leave, seemingly just there for the fun and not bothered (or possibly put off by) two fourteen-year-olds and a thirteen-year-old having gameshow-mandated sex!!
Joseph stood slightly off-stage for a moment as people left, laughing at Chris playing up for the crowd before he stepped back out and said, “Okay, the prudes are gone… BRING ON THE SEX! Grab your phones… with your free hand anyway, wink wink fellas, am I right?” Peals of laughter rang out. “Feel free to type in your suggestions, which will show up on the main screen. Occasionally we’ll let you have a vote, but now… lads… it’s sex o’clock!”
“So we… we just… do stuff?” Rob asked, a little shocked.
“Hey, who thinks Rob needs to catch up with me and Danny?” Chris called out, waggling his erection.
The crowd cheered. Rob didn’t.
“What are you…” Rob started, but Chris had an idea and Danny seemed to catch on instantly, each of them grabbing one of his nipples. “FUCK!” he grunted, his cock swelling almost immediately to life. “You… fuckers…” Rob grunted as the other two teased the sensitive nubs.
“Can’t say you’re not enjoying it!” Danny smirked.
“Yeah, but… ugh…” Rob grunted, then finally managed to swat the hands away. “You basically just announced to the entire fucking school that my nipples are an ‘on’ button for my boner!”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure nobody will EVER use it against you!” Danny grinned wickedly.
“Okay lads,” Joseph called out. “We’ve already got some requests in and these guys are NOT shy about what they want. Apparently they want ‘nipple boy’,” he paused and looked to the crowd as he said, “It’s Rob, FYI. Anyway, they want nipple boy getting sucked by Chris, who should be getting rimmed by Danny!”
Rob looked round at the screen, which was currently blank as he declared, “What!?”
“Okay, that’s just my idea, but we gotta start somewhere!” Joseph said, getting laughs and a few calls of agreement to the plan.
“Yeah, rim him!” “Suck that cock!” “Go nipple boy!”
“Why did we agree to this?” Rob asked, knowing the audience couldn’t hear them over their own noise.
“Shut up and enjoy it!” Danny smirked. He leaned over grabbed Chris’ buttocks and parted them, revealing his hole as Chris leaned over in turn and started sucking Rob’s dick. Rob let out a grunt of pleasure at the mouth around his dick and felt the vibrations from Chriss moans as Danny’s tongue probed at his behind.
Rob placed a hand on the back of Chris’ head, not pushing him, just resting it there as the other boy sucked him. He raised his other hand, running it through his own hair, not so much to show off, but more because the stretched position slimmed him down a little as he sucked in his stomach.
“Apparently the nickname seems to have stuck,” Joseph called out, “As the crowd thinks nipple boy should give Chris a spanking at the same time!”
Rob let out a grunt at the name. Hearing the instruction from Joseph, he reached out and swung his hand down, making a loud SLAP as it connected with his buttock. Danny let out a yelp of surprise as he jumped away from the unexpected noise right beside his ear, much to the amusement of the crowd.
“Sorry,” Rob chuckled as Danny got back to work, then delivered a couple more slaps to the boy sucking him off. The crowd cheered, which spurred Rob on to do it again, and then a couple more times.
“Okay, time for a switch!” Joseph called out as comments had actually started appearing on the screen. “Hmm, a few ideas. Shockingly, people wanna see nipple boy doing nipple play, so Chris, Danny, get ‘em in your mouths and nipple boy… wank ‘em off!”
Chris stood up, releasing Rob’s cock much to his disappointment. His own dick was raging hard and dripping wet, the public sucking and spanking seemingly really doing it for him.
Rob let out a sigh, more at still being ‘nipple boy’ than at the imminent stimulation. Chris and Danny stood either side of him, leaning in to suck on a nipple each, but keeping their bodies facing the crowd as much as possible, determined to put on a good show. Rob reached out to either side and grabbed their boners, stroking them gently and wishing he could take hold of his own as it throbbed in response to the two mouths.
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck,” Rob muttered under his breath, hating that he was enjoying it.
Under the supervision of Joseph, as well as some Year 13s who were keeping a watchful eye to make sure things didn’t get out of hand, the crowd bounced from idea to idea, the three boys complying mostly willingly. Twenty minutes later and all three of the boys had done just about everything they could imagine for the crowd, most things for barely more than a minute. Some they hadn’t actually wanted to stop – such as anything involving Rob’s nipples - while others they seemed happy to have over – such as the foot worship and toe sucking Danny and Rob had been ordered to do to Chris, though Chris seemed happy enough with it.
It was safe to say that the crowd definitely got their money’s worth out of the show. When Joseph indicated they were nearly out of time, rapid decisions were made about the final cum shots using public voting. As much some would have loved to see a bit more fucking, which had only involved Chris and Danny thanks to Rob’s previously-agreed limit, the crowd wanted to SEE them all cum, so the three boys ended up stood side-by-side, with Rob once again in the middle jerking the other two off, while Chris tweaked his nipples and Danny wanked him.
“Who’s gonna be first to cum? Missed a chance there, fellas. That’s a whole show in itself!” Joseph called out as the climaxes neared.
It wasn’t clear who started it, but within moments the crowd was chanting, “Nipple boy, nipple boy, nipple boy!”
“I fucking hate that!” Rob grumbled quietly.
“Yeah, but the crowd wants what it wants!” Chris sniggered. “And if they want nipple boy…” he winked to Danny who sped up his stroking just as Chris leaned down again to suck one nipple and grasp the other between a thumb and forefinger.
It was finally too much for Rob who let out a pleasured gasp and began to shoot. It was all the extra stimulation the other two needed as their loads were soon gracing the stage floor too as the horny, excited crowd went wild.
“And there we have it, everyone. Thanks for cumming… and I mean that literally, you dirty bitches,” Joseph called out, getting a mix of laughs and guilty expressions, the floor of the audience area as smeared with spunk as the stage. “And we’ll see you…” he paused to look at Mikey who was still supervising and asked, “Soon?” Mikey nodded emphatically, so Joseph looked back to the crowd and said, “We’ll see you again soon! Good night!”

The Home Building had gone from silent and seemingly abandoned, to loud and lively in a matter of minutes as the boys emerged from the hidden exits on the second and third floors. As quickly as the noise kicked in, it died down again as students retired to their dorms or Common Rooms.
Several minutes later, Rob, Chris and Danny emerged, having stopped in the second-floor shower room to clean off before getting dressed. The others, along with a few other volunteers, had stayed behind to help clean up, but as their part as contestants had been played well, the three boys were excused.
As they showered, the actual gameshow had barely been mentioned, just regular shower conversation kicking in instead. It was only when they emerged onto the second-floor landing and started down the stairs to their own floor that Rob shook his head and exclaimed, “That was fucking mental!”
“Yeah, but hot!” Chris replied.
“SO hot!” Danny giggled, his enjoyment increasing now the actual humiliation had passed. He looked to Rob and nodded, “But yeah, mental too. Although not that different from some of the stuff I’ve heard from the rugby team, right?”
“Hnnh, I guess not,” Rob grunted, mildly amused. “Wasn’t all bad though. It was nice to…” he paused.
“To…?” Chris asked curiously.
Rob looked round to check the coast was clear and said, “I’m not complaining about… ya know… my arrangement, but… it was nice to be with… someone else!”
Chris and Danny looked at each other for a moment, both clearly harbouring thoughts on it but neither wanting to voice them.
“I’m just gutted we didn’t win. I want the prize money to spend on…” Chris started, then lowered his voice to whisper, “The Milker!”
“God, you should just marry that machine,” Danny giggled, shaking his head.
“Oh I would if I could!” Chris grinned as they wandered along the hallway.
As they turned the corner, they spotted Mr Trent leaving one of the other dorms. “Evening lads,” he said happily as they met at the doorway to their dorm.
“Hi sir!” “Evening sir!” “Sup, bud!” the boys chorused, the latter from Chris.
“Ready for school tomorrow?” Mr Trent asked politely.
“Positively erect with excitement!” Chris said cheekily, then shrugged and said, “Or maybe just erect. Hard to know!”
“Oh my god,” Rob chuckled, shaking his head, not used to seeing Chris (or anyone) be so casual with a teacher.
“Hmm, no comment,” Mr Trent said, unamused.
“Hey, erm… can I speak to you about something?” Danny asked Mr Trent quietly, then looked at the other two and added, “Alone!”
“Okay, going!” Rob said, stepping into the dorm.
“Ooh no, I wanna hear this!” Chris objected. “It could be…” But he never got to finish the sentence as Rob reached out, pulled him into the dorm and shut the door.
Mr Trent sniggered at the move and looked to Danny who looked a little dour. “What’s up?” he asked, frowning.
“I… I wanna ask you something but… I don’t wanna upset you,” Danny said shyly.
“It’s okay,” Mr Trent said softly, stroking Danny’s arm.
“Erm… I was wondering… if you could maybe… tell the name of your… friend,” Danny said nervously, then added even more quietly, “The one who… killed himself!”
Mr Trent looked thoroughly shocked by the question, but quickly composed himself as he saw Danny looking worried about what he had said. “How do you even know about him?” he asked softly.
“Erm… on holiday,” Danny explained. “You… you were talking to Blane and I reckon you thought I was asleep!”
“Oh, sneaky,” Mr Trent smirked. “I’ll have to watch out for that in the future.”
“Sorry, I know it’s… it’s not really any of my business,” Danny said, almost regretting asking. “It’s just that I…”
“Daniel!” Mr Trent interrupted. As Danny looked at him, clearly concerned about someone using his formal name, the teacher smirked a little and said, “No… his… his name was Daniel!”
Danny gasped slightly and just stared.
“What, you didn’t think I only liked you for your personality, did ya? I’ve clearly got a thing for Daniels!” Mr Trent joked, nudging Danny playfully.
Danny laughed and shook his head. He smiled as he reached for the door but stopped and looked back at the teacher. He stared him up and down for a moment, frowned thoughtfully and said, “I think… I think Daniel would be REALLY proud of who you are, sir!” He gave a final smile before he turned and headed into his dorm.
Mr Trent watched the door closed and smiled as he wiped a tear from his eye.
