A Kingswood Family Christmas
Chapter 2
Friday 23 December 2022
Chris had expected he would need to corral his dormmates together when he got up. The previous day, he had introduced his friends to the Christmas gift, a story he had written for them, based loosely on A Christmas Carol, and promised to read one short story each morning to them. The previous day, which had centred around Josh, had been exceptionally well received, but Chris still worried he might have to force the others to gather, especially so early in the morning.
It was with great surprise and much joy that when he headed into the neighbouring dorm, he found it full. Josh was sat on his bed nestled against Mark, while Danny had joined Rob on his bed as they sat chatting away together. David was sitting on his bed, flanked by both Nicky and Mikey. Eyeing the final empty bed, Chris headed over and sat down.
The moment he was in place, he noticed the room had gone quiet. He looked round anxiously and found everyone staring at him expectantly. Smiling, he said, "I take it you're all ready for part two then?"
"Yeah!" "Who is it?" "Is it another one set in the past?" "Read it, read it, read it!" the boys called back eagerly.
Chris chuckled briefly, but it dropped a little as he glanced over at the bed with three boys on it. "Umm, it's set in the past and it's... actually this one is based on... actual real-life events. Obviously, I've embellished a little!"
"Embellished?" Danny repeated.
"That's when you put fancy stuff on a plate to make it look nice!" Nicky called out, smirking at his own sarcasm.
"That's garnished!" David corrected him, then blushed and said, "Oh, you were kidding. Dammit!"
"Shut up you lot. It's about me, isn't it!" Mikey called out. As Chris nodded gently, he smiled and said, "Yus, called it!"
"It is," Chris said with a gentle nod, "And I hope... it's okay that I'm sharing what I am. If you want me to stop..."
"Just read it!" Mikey insisted.
Chris smirked as he nodded again. "Okay, well here goes then. For your entertainment, I'm proud to present..."
A Chris-mas Carol Part 2 - A Little Bit of Everything All Rolled Into One
Tuesday 25 December 2013
Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Michael. That was what everyone called him, which makes sense, because it's his name! One day, off in the waaaaay distant future, he would be known as Mikey, but for now, he was still just Michael.
Michael was a quiet boy, but he was clever. Michael was also a lonely boy. Somehow, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't make friends like the other boys could. They always thought he was a little strange, or just didn't like him and it made Michael very sad. Michael was all alone against the world, which is a scary thing when you're only six years old.
It was Christmas Day and Michael had spent the day with mummy and daddy doing all the usual Christmas Day things. There had been presents and music and food and family members who show up once a year and spend all day saying how next year they'll show up more than once a year even though they knew they never would. It was one of the lies Michael knew adults used to tell. Michael knew adults lied a lot. That was why he never trusted them and why he never believed them when they said he would make friends one day.
Despite the merriment and celebration, Christmas Day had been like any other for Michael and as he went to bed that night, he felt the same loneliness swirling around him that he had felt all of his life.
"Hello Michael!"
Michael sat up and looked around his bedroom as he heard the voice. He thought he should be scared, because when you're alone in your bed and you hear a voice, being scared just makes sense, but he wasn't. "Who's there?" he asked.
"You know... I'm not actually sure just yet!"
Michael's face screwed up in confusion at the answer. "You're not sure who you are? That's silly!" Michael replied.
"It's not silly Michael. I don't know who I am because you haven't told me yet."
"I have to tell you who you are?" Michael asked, looking round his room. Nobody was there. It was just him, but the voice kept coming.
"Yeah you do. Maybe we can figure it out together. I want to be your friend, Michael. You want a friend, don't you?"
"More than anything!" Michael replied eagerly.
"Great. Then let's make me your friend. Tell me what you want your friend to be like!"
"I get to choose?" Michael asked, smiling happily. "Awesome!"
"So come on then Michael, let's figure who I am and then I can be your friend forever!"
Michael got out of bed and started pacing around the room. "Well I only want friends who tell me the truth. Adults lie, so you should never do that!"
"Not a problem!"
Michael was still confused, unsure what was going on but excited to keep going. "And you should be brave too. No matter how scary things get, you'll be brave!" Michael explained.
"I'll be brave, and you can trust me on that because I don't lie, remember!"
Michael laughed as he nodded at the voice. "That's clever. I want you to be clever. I want you to know things so you can help me when I don't know things and understand things when I don't understand things!"
"Know things. Understand things. Check. What else?"
"You need to be tough so I can learn to be tough too. And sneaky too, so I never get caught being naughty!" Michael continued.
"I think we're nearly there. Anything else?"
"Yeah, you should... be nice to me, like... when I'm sad I get hugs," Michael said, blushing a little. "Oh, and most important of all, promise you'll be my best friend forever!"
"Wow, I sound cool. Now all I need is a name. Tell me my name, Michael, and I'll be your best friend forever!"
Michael thought for a moment then smiled as he said, "Snuffles. Your name is Snuffles!"
"Oh wow, that's so cool. Hi Michael, I'm Snuffles!" Snuffles said excitedly. "Let's play together!"
"Yeah!" Michael said happily. "Wow, this is the best Christmas ever!"
And with that, Michael and Snuffles did indeed become best friends. Wherever Michael went, Snuffles followed. Whenever Michael was sad, Snuffles was there to cheer him up. Whenever he was afraid, Snuffles was there to cheer him on. Michael never had to be lonely again, not now he had his best friend for life!
6 Years, 6 months and 10 days later...
Once upon a time, there was a boy called Mikey. That was what everyone called him, even though his real name was Michael. Everyone started calling him Mikey when he moved to a new school, a big scary place called Kingswood. It didn't matter how scary Kingswood was when Mikey arrived because he didn't arrive alone, he had Snuffles, his best friend in the entire world.
Mikey had been at Kingswood for almost an entire school year now. He had grown up a lot, been through a so many things and met many people along the way, but through it all Snuffles had stayed with him. Lately though, Snuffles hadn't been around so much, but that was okay, Mikey had met other people and, though it hadn't always been easy, he had made friends with them. He knew adults still lied, but at least when they said he would make friends one day, that had been true, even if nothing else they ever told him was!
One day, Mikey and Snuffles had got into a fight and Snuffles ran away. Mikey was so sad, because Snuffles was his best friend, he had promised he would always be there and now... he wasn't! Mikey wandered Kingswood looking for Snuffles. He had help, too. Even though his new friends didn't see or hear Snuffles – nobody else ever did – they believed in Mikey and they helped him search, because that's what friends do.
It was out in the woods surrounding the school that Mikey finally found Snuffles. "Why did you run away?" Mikey asked.
"Because I needed to think," Snuffles replied, "And I needed to see if your friends would look after you when I didn't!"
"They definitely did," Mikey insisted.
"I know and that makes me really happy, Mikey," Snuffles replied, "Because I think it might finally be time for me to go!"
"What? No!" Mikey said sadly, "You can't go. I need you!"
"Do you?" Snuffles asked. He didn't sound sad, he sounded happy. "Think of the day we met, Mikey. Think of what you wanted me to be!"
"I wanted you to be my friend!" Mikey sniffed.
"Yes, and I always will be, but think about what you made me, Mikey. Do you remember the things you said you wanted me to be?" Snuffles asked.
"I wanted you to be brave," Mikey said sadly.
"You did, you wanted a friend who's brave," Snuffles explained, "Now when you think about someone who's brave, who do you think of?"
"Danny!" Mikey replied with a smile. "He's fearless!"
"Yup. And then you said you wanted someone who knows things," Snuffles went on. "Who do you know that knows everything?"
"James!" Mikey said, giggling at the thought of his know-it-all friend.
"Exactly. And you wanted a friend who'd help you understand things. Who explains how things work better than anyone?" Snuffles asked.
"That's David!" Mikey said with a nod. "He just gets stuff. It's so cool!"
"I seem to recall you wanted me to be tough and sneaky too. Who's got that covered?" Snuffles asked.
"Pfft, no question on the tough one. Josh is the toughest kid I've ever met. He can handle anything!" Mikey said with a smile. "And Rob's sneaky as hell. He can help ya get away with anything!" Mikey thought for a moment and said, "I wanted you to look after me and be kind to me when I was sad!"
"You did, and now who's the most affectionate person in your life? Who gives you cuddles whether you want them or not?" Snuffles asked, almost laughing at how obvious it was.
"Chris, without a doubt. He's a cuddle monster!" Mikey said happily.
"And the last thing you said you wanted was for me to be your best friend forever," Snuffles said. "I could do that, but... I don't reckon you even need to think about this. When I say best friend forever..."
"Nicky!" Mikey stated without even hearing the rest of the question. "That's Nicky. It took me a while, but... it's him. Forever!"
"Yup, so all those things you wanted... well you've got them now, haven't you!" Snuffles explained.
"Not all of them," Mikey said a little sadly. "I said I wanted you to always tell the truth, to always be honest, no matter what! But if you said you'd be my best friend forever and now you want to go away, then you lied to me!"
"I guess I did," Snuffles replied, "But that's okay, that was never something you really needed me to do anyway, Mikey. Really think about honesty, about someone who'll say the things other people don't want to say, even if it's not popular or what they want. Who do you know who does that?"
Mikey frowned for a moment until he realised the answer and said, "Me! I do that!"
"Exactly, Mikey. Everything you wanted, you've got now. I may have been a little bit of everything all rolled into one, but that was because you could only imagine having one friend. Now you've got loads and you really don't need me anymore!"
"I'm not ready to say goodbye. Not yet!" Mikey sniffed.
"Yes, you are, Mikey. Yes, you are!"
The room was silent, save for a few sniffs as many of the boys wiped away a tear, touched by the tale of Mikey's imaginary friend. Slightly unsure how Mikey himself had taken it, as he had just stared at Chris the whole time, they sat quietly, looking round at him.
Mikey frowned ever-so-slightly, then shuffled forward to get off the bed. He paced across the room as Chris shuffled forward and stood up to, looking a little weary of what was about to happen. Mikey stared up at the slightly taller boy in silence for a few moments.
Everyone else remained motionless. While Mikey had certainly calmed down a lot in the past couple of years, he still had his volatile moments, usually at times of heightened emotion, so they were genuinely unsure if they were about to need to intervene.
Mikey finally moved, throwing his arms around Chris as he held onto him tightly. Chris happily wrapped his arms around him and planted a gentle kiss on the top of his head.
With the first of the visiting families due to arrive early afternoon, the morning had been planned out for the boys in a sufficiently festive fashion. After breakfast, they had all gathered to wrap their gifts. Some proved to be more adept at it than others, with some of the gifts looking expertly wrapped while others looked like they may have been attacked by rabid dogs.
Josh had loved the opportunity to show off his artistic flare, producing gifts that Mr Rudd claimed were `too pretty to ever actually open'. Having worn himself out quickly, he had ended up napping, resting on Mark's lap, while everyone else finished up.
Once that was done, they had all gathered for a viewing of A Muppet Christmas Carol, which had been chosen partly due to just being popular, but also as a homage to Chris' story. Once it finished, the boys headed off for lunch, most of them singing a particularly loud and not-at-all accurate version of one of the songs from the movie.
"You all might wanna ease up on the food," Nicky said as everyone sat around eating.
Everyone stopped to look at him, some of them even halting mid-chew.
"My parents are due to arrive right after lunch and after seeing Mikey with `em for two minutes you'll probably lose your lunch!" Nicky said with a wry grin.
The boys who knew Mikey well started to laugh as Mikey huffed, the others looking mildly confused.
"Mikey just really likes them," David explained quietly to Dom, Bobby, Eoin and Milo.
"Pfft, that's nothing," Chris scoffed. "Wait til you see Danny with my brother!"
"Which one?" Mark asked curiously.
Chris smirked and replied, "Take your pick!"
Despite the laughter aimed Danny's way, he didn't feel bad for a change. Teasing aside, he really did love Chris' family, all of them, not just his brothers. He did let out a gentle sigh as he thought about seeing Finn, Chris' older brother. To say their relationship was complicated was an understatement, but Danny's main concern was the fact he had not messaged or spoken to him for quite some time, contrary to what they had planned after their time together over the summer. Finn had struggled a little with an abusive girlfriend as well as loneliness and Danny had really had every intention of staying in contact.
"So how come you're stuck here?" Mikey asked with his usual lack of tact as he glanced at the Morgan brothers and Eoin.
The question seemed to hit the three boys hard, as all of them suddenly looked inordinately sad at the mention of their situation.
"Hey, ignore him, he didn't mean any harm," Nicky apologised, "You don't need to tell us anything you don't want!"
"Oh, sorry," Mikey apologised too as he saw the reaction from the others. "I guess I didn't think."
Nicky reached to the side and squeezed Mikey's hand, nodding gently at him to let him know it was okay.
"Umm, s'okay," Eoin said quietly, still not particularly confident around the mostly older group. "My mum's a diplomat. She's away for work somewhere. It sucks but what she does is really important and I'm gonna see her next half-term instead!" he explained.
"That's cool," Mikey said, smiling at the younger boy.
Bobby and Dom were exchanging glances for a few moments until Dom shrugged and said, "Okay," seemingly answering a silent query from his little brother. "I wasn't gonna say anything cos I didn't wanna bring y'all down," he said, frowning thoughtfully, "But our parents are in hospital. They were travelling and they were involved in an accident about a week ago!"
"Fuck!" Chris gasped.
"Are they gonna be okay?" Eoin asked, staring at them with wide eyes.
"We don't know," Bobby sniffed sadly.
"Hey, cheer up," Dom said, throwing an arm around his younger sibling, "They're gonna be fine. I just know it!" It got a murmur of positive agreements from the others in an attempt to support the brothers.
"And hey, don't feel like you can't talk about it for our sake," Josh stated confidently. "Us lot are kinda good at dealing with the bad stuff!" He smiled and added, "Like this!" as he slapped his bald head a couple of times. As everyone chuckled at the encouragement, Josh whimpered a little and winced as he said, "Oww, that was stupid... and now I feel sick too!"
"Wanna go lay down?" Rob asked quietly.
"After lunch," Josh whispered back with a gentle nod.
Seeing Josh look a little embarrassed, Milo grinned as he looked down at his new roommates and said, "So whadda you guys think of this lot? They live up to the reputation?"
"We have a reputation?" Danny asked, eyebrows raised.
"Yeah, you lot are like the Kardashians of Kingswood!" Dom said with a broad smile.
"Famous but nobody quite knows why?" Chris suggested.
"Well known for big butts?" Nicky offered, reaching to the side to slap Danny's arse.
"Likely to drop another sex tape at any time!" Mikey suggested with a smirk.
As the boys all laughed at the suggestions, Dom nodded and said, "All of the above and more! But yeah, they seem cool. Surprisingly normal!"
Chris gasped dramatically as he stood up. "Normal!" he declared, clutching imaginary pearls. "NORMAL!? How very dare you, sir!"
As the others all looked at him with a mixture of bemusement and amusement, Danny said quietly, "Chris!"
"Mmm-huh," Chris hummed back.
"Sit down!" Danny said, grabbing Chris to pull him back into his seat as everyone laughed at the couple.
"Okay, maybe not normal, but still nice!" Dom said, getting a nod of agreement from Bobby, while Eoin just chuckled at the whole thing.
"Oh you just wait," Milo said, nodding confidently. "These guys are CRAZY. No way we're making it through the week without at least one big drama!"
"At this rate, it may be patricide!" Rob said with a smirk, getting a laugh from Chris and Dom.
"It means killing your brother!" David explained, prompting laughs and reactions from the rest.
"No murders please, it's too much paperwork!" Mr Rudd called out without even looking up from his own meal.
"Well there go my afternoon plans," Nicky said sarcastically. As everyone chuckled, Nicky glanced at his phone and said, "Oh, get ready to see Mikey break the sound barrier!" As Mikey looked at him curiously, he smiled and said, "My parents just arrived!"
Mikey went to move, but held back as he saw the others sniggering.
"It's fine," Nicky insisted, "You can go. Nobody's gonna take the piss!"
Nicky had barely finished speaking before Mikey was up and away.
"Reckon he'll be that excited when his own family gets here?" Chris asked, shaking his head. He got an equally concerned look back from Nicky.
"Ugh, busted," Danny groaned as he saw the reflection of Mr Rudd walking into the gym.
"Indeed you are, young man!" Mr Rudd said disapprovingly as he approached Danny who didn't stop the treadmill but did at least slow it to a gentle jog. "Unless I'm mistaken, you already had a workout this morning!"
"You know, stalking is a sign of serious mental health issues!" Danny said with a stern nod.
Mr Rudd ignored the comment and stepped onto the treadmill next to Danny, then turned to lean his back on the controls, so he roughly face Danny on the next machine over. He didn't speak, he just stared, eyebrows raised.
"I'm just... getting a bit extra in," Danny explained awkwardly. Earlier in the term, Danny had unknowingly self-harmed himself, but since it was brought to his attention he had worked hard to prevent it from happening again. Unfortunately, it had resulted in an increase in his gym visits, which already took place six or seven days a week, but had now increased even further. He was supposed to be cutting back, but having found himself at a loose end, he had taken the opportunity to head off for another workout.
"Fair enough. If you say you're in control, I trust you," Mr Rudd said with a nod.
"Ugh," Danny huffed as he hit stop on the treadmill, "Well now I can't lie about it without looking like a total dick for breaking your trust!"
Mr Rudd chuckled slightly, though he knew it wasn't really funny. "Anything specific behind this?" he asked curiously. "Nervous about your family getting here tomorrow?"
"No, I can't wait to see them!" Danny answered honestly, but his brief smile quickly faded as he said, "Wait, what if they... can tell something's up? Okay, maybe now I'm a bit nervous. Thanks for that!"
"Relax, it's fine," Mr Rudd reassured him, "But come on, you know you shouldn't be over here. Even without you overdoing it, the whole point of this week is to let you guys do stuff together. You shouldn't be over here on your own!"
Danny looked the man up and down as he gave a wry grin and said, "I'm not alone... you're here too!"
"You know what I mean!" Mr Rudd said, shaking his head.
"Yeah, and I reckon you know what I mean too," Danny smirked. "Come on, we haven't done anything for aaaages. Don't you wanna get back into this?" he asked, turning his back to the man as he pulled his shorts and underwear down to reveal his butt.
"Danny, that is HIGHLY inappropriate!" Mr Rudd said firmly. As Danny pulled his shorts back up and pouted, the teacher grinned and said, "You should definitely get showered before you head back to the others, although the hot water's off for the main shower room."
"That your way of telling me to take a cold shower?" Danny pouted.
"No," Mr Rudd said as he leaned closer, lowering his voice, "It's my way of saying that if you want hot water, you should probably use the electric shower in my old office!"
"Ohhh!" Danny nodded, catching on. He followed Mr Rudd out and down the hall into his old office.
"So are you sure you don't want to talk about why you were working out again... or why we're doing this?" Mr Rudd asked as he stood facing Danny.
"Oh my god, shut up!" Danny huffed. "Not every single thing I do is a SYMPTOM! Has it ever occurred to you that I just LIKE working out, or that maybe I like shagging stupid, sexy teacher men? So just shut up!"
"Did you just tell me shut up?" Mr Rudd asked, arms folded as he glared at the boy.
"Oh, sorry grampa, is your hearing going? Do I need to speak up?" Danny taunted.
"That's incredibly rude," Mr Rudd said disapprovingly.
"Oh no," Danny said with a grin, "Have I been bad? Are you going to..." he paused to turn and expose his butt again as he finished, "... spank me?"
"Now that sounds like a good idea!" Mr Rudd smiled. As he saw Danny's eyes flash with absolute delight, he walked over to the small sofa and took a seat, then instructed, "Clothes off and get over my lap!"
"Oh, okay sir," Danny said weakly, feigning distress. "Just... promise you won't go too hard!" he said as he quickly pulled off his gym gear. He approached the man and before laying over his lap, growled in his ear, "Go as hard as you like!"
Mr Rudd squirmed a little as he felt the boy bending over his lap. His own cock was chubbing up slowly, but it sped up significantly when he felt Danny's erection. Feeling the boy's boner dangling down between his legs, he squeezed them together to hold the straining dick in place as he stared at the pale, pert mounds of boy-butt before him.
"You've been a very naughty boy, Daniel," Mr Rudd said before swatting his hand down to slap a buttock.
Danny let out a pleasured grunt, then panted slightly and said, "Yes sir, I'm sorry!"
"Oh, you're sorry, maybe I'll stop there," Mr Rudd said, holding back a smirk.
"Fuck you, old man!" Danny immediately snapped.
Mr Rudd snorted with laughter and shook his head as he said, "This won't work if you make me laugh!"
"Who cares, just fuckin' hurt me!" Danny demanded. He immediately paused as he sensed the man tense up. "Okay," he said quietly, "Maybe THAT was a symptom, but I do just enjoy getting spanked!" As he felt Mr Rudd pushing him off his lap, he whined, "Aww, come on! I'm sorry!"
"Let's stick with the shower," Mr Rudd said as he got Danny standing up and stood to face him. "I'm happy to spank you another time, just... maybe not quite yet, okay!"
"I'm fine with it, I promise!" Danny insisted.
"Yeah, maybe you are, but... there's two of us here, Danny!" Mr Rudd said, nodding gently.
"Oh, sorry," Danny said, realising he had once again overlooked the man's feelings about what they were doing in his eagerness to get his own enjoyment. "I didn't... I didn't think. I'm sorry. Let's go shower!" he said sheepishly.
The two of them headed through to the bathroom where Mr Rudd allowed Danny to undress him. By the time the shower was on and they stepped in, both were rigidly hard. Pressing their bodies and erections together, they took a few minutes to just touch each other and enjoy the skin-on-skin contact before Mr Rudd asked, "Do you want to... top?"
Danny thought for a moment then shook his head and said, "Maybe not quite yet!"
Mr Rudd gave a gentle smile in return as he nodded and said, "No problem. In that case, let's at least try something a bit different!" After using some shower gel to slick up his own erection, before roughly fingering Danny's hole to lubricate and loosen him, he smiled at the teen then wrapped his arms around him. Lifting him up, he pressed the boy against the wall, then slowly let him slide down as he positioned his dick for the waiting hole to envelop.
"Ah, fuck yes," Danny moaned happily as he felt the man inside him, holding his arms around the teacher's neck while his legs wrapped around his torso.
Mr Rudd started bouncing the boy on his dick, thrusting upwards in time with it to give the boy the vigorous fuck he was clearly seeking. His gaze kept flitting between the boy's straining cock sandwiched between them and his beautiful, reddened face. His attention was soon taken by Danny leaning in to pull him into a kiss.
The embrace lasted several seconds, only slow and gentle at first before increasing in ferocity to match the fucking.
"I didn't think we did that!" Mr Rudd stated in surprise as their lips parted.
"Well, it's Christmas, and you were right there so I figured why not!" Danny grinned.
"Well, in that case..." Mr Rudd smirked then leaned forward to kiss the boy again, squishing him up against the wall as they made out and fucked. He continued slamming against him as the shower rained down over them, both losing themselves in the aggressive embrace.
By the time Mr Rudd pulled back and growled, "I'm cumming!" there was already a pool of spunk between them from Danny's twitching prick.
Gasping his way through the ejaculation inside him, Danny panted for a few moments as he looked down and said, "Huh, when did that happen!"
"Damn, I literally fucked the cum right out of ya!" Mr Rudd smirked. He gave the boy a playful peck on the lips before lowering him back to the ground. "Now, about those workouts!" he said, raising his eyebrows as Danny looked at him.
"Aww, come on," Danny whined.
"I think a time away from the gym would be a good thing for you, and spending more of the break with your friends too," Mr Rudd explained. "Besides, we probably shouldn't be having anyone over here alone anyone, just for safety!"
"You're welcome to come supervise me," Danny said with a cheeky grin.
"You're taking a break. Deal with it!" Mr Rudd insisted, ignoring the unsubtle flirtation.
Danny felt a knot in his stomach at the comment, but nodded anyway.
"I hope you're all ready for this!" Blane said, shaking his head as the cars pulled into the car park.
"Oh, I guarantee they're not," Chris said, shaking his head.
Rob laughed as he said, "You two are funny!"
"Oh, honey... no," Danny said, shaking his head as well as he took Rob's hand. "They're not joking. This is..." he paused dramatically, "This is something you have never witnessed before. Imagine Milo, on crack... and there's two of him!"
Rob smirked again, but as he looked at Chris and then Blane, he saw both of them nodding seriously.
In a moment of absolutely perfect timing, an almighty shriek rang across the car park as two mini versions of Chris appeared from one of the cars and charged like a pair of lions who had just spotted the gazelle they intended to have for dinner, squealing excitedly.
"Jesus!" Rob muttered, recoiling slightly at the sight and sound of the two charging boys.
"Brace for impact!" Blane called out, literally taking a defensive position as Cian took a running jump at him. He barely managed to keep his balance as the younger boy climbed him!
In contrast, Aidan came to a dead stop in front of Danny and Chris and looked back and forth between them, torn over which one to grab first.
"Quick, before he explodes," Danny smirked, pulling Chris with him towards the boy, both of them grabbing him at once as he screamed excitedly about seeing two of his favourite people.
The others stood nearby, looking a little terrified of the noise and hyperactive greetings. As the nine-year-old twins swapped, and also took a turn greeting Levi (a.k.a. Mr Trent) just as eagerly, six-year-old Clare and four-year-old Fiadh ran along and eagerly greeted their brothers as well as Levi and Danny, adding to the raucous cacophony.
As Chris turned to start introducing his siblings to his friends, he saw Cian standing in front of them, staring up at Nicky wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
"Wow, you're REALLY tall!" Cian exclaimed. It made everyone burst into laughter, much to Cian's confusion. "How'd you get that tall?" he demanded.
As everyone looked at Nicky, expecting one of his typically sarcastic answers, he said quietly, "Just lucky I guess!" He took a step back and the children's attentions all turned to the rest of their big brother's friends as he started introducing them.
Nicky suddenly felt a hand on his back. As he looked, he saw Levi smiling meekly at him, while holding Fiadh in one arm.
Handing Fiadh off to Blane quickly, he nodded away and led Nicky from the group. "You okay there, mister?" he asked softly once they were far enough away from the group.
"Mmm-huh," Nicky hummed, nodding as he visibly tried to hold back tears.
"It's okay," Levi reassured him, turning Nicky so his back was to the group to help him avoid being seen upset by anyone else. "I kinda thought this might happen!" he said sympathetically, stroking the boy's arm.
Nicky had been one half of a set of identical twins, until his brother passed away a number of years ago. While all of his friends knew about it, as well as the therapy he had been going through to deal with the trauma, none knew the difficulties more than Levi who had been one of Nicky's main supports when he first started tackling his problems.
"God, this is so stupid," Nicky said, shaking his head as he struggled to compose himself.
"It's not stupid!" Levi reassured him. "Sometimes the most subtle things can be triggering, other times it can be the really obvious things!"
"It's just... seeing two of them, and they're even about the same age Matt was when he... when he died... and... and fuck, what about mum and dad? How are they gonna feel?" Nicky explained, finally losing the fight as he started to cry.
"Hey, we'll be back later," Levi called out to the others. "I just need Nicky's help with something!" He led Nicky away so the two of them could take some time to talk.
"Geez, you were NOT kidding!" Rob said with a snigger as he stood beside Danny.
The twins were now both being carried by Mark, after Cian had commented on his size as well and demanding to be picked up along with Aidan, just to see if the muscular teen could do it.
"I'd say they're better once they calm down, but it's pretty much this all the time!" Danny chuckled. He watched as the rest of the Smith family approached. Nervous as he was about seeing Finn, he felt a little anxious when he didn't see the older teen with the others.
More greetings took place as Mr and Mrs Smith joined the group, along with eldest child Aisling and their ever-loyal assistant, Edward. Danny received hugs from Aisling and Mrs Smith, after they were done with Blane, Levi and Chris. Mr Smith, who greeted his eldest son and Levi with a handshake, then Chris with a hug stopped a little awkwardly as he saw Danny.
"Nice to see you again, Mr Smith," Danny said with a slight smirk as he unashamedly let his gaze roam up and down the man.
Over the summer, Danny (and Chris) had learned a lot about Mr and Mrs Smith, in particular that they had entered into a polyamorous relationship with a couple of family friends, but also had an open relationship to allow both of them to explore partners of both sexes. In Mr Smith's case, it had been discovered after realising he and Chris had been accidentally intimate together. After that, Danny and his boyfriend's father had also been intimate, but it was absolutely not accidental.
"Yes, you too, Danny," Mr Smith said a little awkwardly. He offered his hand, but Danny pulled him into a hug instead.
"Hi," Danny said cheerfully.
"Hi," Mr Smith said back, blushing a little before he moved on.
Danny chuckled. He had no intention of attempting anything with the man, but it was just fun to play on his awkwardness a little.
A few minutes later, when things had quietened down slightly, Chris asked, "Where's Finn?"
"Ugh, still in the car," Aisling said, rolling her eyes as she gestured back to the cars where the drivers were currently unloading.
"Lemme guess. Sulking about something!" Blane said, rolling his eyes at the thought of his ever-moody sibling.
"No," Aisling replied, "Believe it or not, our little Mr Crankypants seems to have finally grown out of the moody phase! He's on the phone with Molly!"
Danny listened closely to the exchange, having picked up the mention of Finn's name.
"There's a Molly?" Blane asked with a smirk. "Is she as lovely as Sarah?"
"Oh, this one's a big step up!" Aisling replied with a smile.
"So she's actually human?" Blane asked, sniggering. While nobody but Danny knew just how abusive Finn's ex had been, they were still not fans of the unpleasant girl.
Danny stared over at the cars. Finn had a new girlfriend. Considering he was effectively responsible for him breaking up with the last one, as well as his complicated relationship with the older boy, Danny was definitely intrigued to know more. Unfortunately it would have to wait, as the group seemed to be heading off towards the Guest Building to get everyone settled in.
"Damn," Mark muttered as he saw Josh stirring. He had just come to check on his friend as he napped and had not intended to wake him. As he saw the other boy open his eyes and glance over at him, he froze. Perhaps he wasn't fully awake. If he stayed still and quiet, Josh might just nod back off. As he saw a smile slowly spread across Josh's face, he knew that wouldn't happen now, but it didn't care. The smile was entirely worth waking him up for.
"Hi," Josh said sleepily.
"Hey, sorry, didn't mean to disturb you," Mark said softly. "Just came to check on you," he explained but immediately blushed and added, "Cos it was my turn. We're... taking it in turns!"
Josh let out a big yawn, then asked, "What have I missed?"
"Well first Chris' family..." Mark started, but paused as Josh tossed his pillows aside and patted the space where they had been. Mark smiled. He knew the gesture well by now. He walked across the dorm and sat down, letting Josh's head rest on his lap, staring up at him. He stared back, looking into his big brown eyes for a moment before he composed himself and said, "Well first Chris' family showed up and there's a fuck-load of them and they all seem to be as mental as Chris!"
"Yeah, I've seen them on some of his calls home before. It'll be weird seeing `em in person!" Josh chuckled.
"And a little while ago, David's dads got here!" Mark continued.
"They're so nice aren't they," Josh smiled. "I always like talking to them when they pick David up or drop him off!"
Mark nodded his agreement and said, "They both asked after you and said to say hi."
"Aww, that's so nice. You can see where David gets it from, can't ya!" Josh said happily. "And they're both kinda hot too, right!" he said, nodding playfully.
"Oh, I... I guess... I hadn't really thought about that," Mark blushed, "But yeah, I suppose so. I'm not really... into older guys."
Josh gulped slightly as he stared up at his embarrassed friend and asked softly, "What... kind of guys DO you like then?"
Mark's eyes widened as he considered the question.
"Come on, let's hear it," Josh urged him. "Just... close your eyes a second!"
"Okay," Mark said a little shakily.
"Great, now you're gonna Frankenstein up your perfect guy. Think about all the bits, like... what colour hair, their eyes, their smile, their butt, their chest... their dick!" Josh explained, pausing to let Mark think. "Okay, now... describe him to me!"
Mark opened his eyes and looked down at Josh. "I... don't know," he said, looking away as Josh stared back.
Josh felt a brief twinge of guilt as he saw the other boy looking so uncomfortable, though it was quickly forgotten as he moved his head a little and felt... firmness in Mark's lap. He felt his own dick twitch in response. His head was literally touching Mark's erection! He wanted to reach out and touch it. If it was anyone else he probably would have, and they would have liked it, but he knew Mark still had lingering issues about being touched, so he just moved a little to break contact with the straining dick and said, "Sorry, silly game. No such thing as a perfect guy, right!"
"Right," Mark said, squirming a little. "I... I should... let you carry on napping!" he said as he started to slide out, grabbing Josh's pillow to put back into place.
"Yeah, okay," Josh said sadly as he watched Mark rushing out. He sighed at the closed door and whispered to himself, in an imitation of what he wished Mark had said, "No, Josh, there is such a thing as a perfect guy, and it's you. Now kiss me!" He flopped back down onto his pillow, staring up at the ceiling as he growled, "Yeah right. Fat chance!"
Josh exhaled slowly as he shook his head, then glanced down at the small bump in the bed covers from his own erection. "Great, and now I'm boned up!" he huffed, before his eyes widened and he said, "Oooh, I'm boned up!" The treatment for his leukaemia had killed much of his sexual appetite, and what's left of it had been hindered by trouble staying hard, trouble cumming or just feeling too sick to care about such things. The sudden realisation he was hard, horny and didn't feel like throwing up was as surprising as it was welcome.
Reaching down under the covers, Josh's hand made its way the small tumescence in his shorts and groped at it for a moment. It still felt strange that a daily (or sometimes twice daily... or three...) habit had virtually stopped entirely, but the feeling of his dick in his hand was so comforting. Josh quickly slipped his hand inside his shorts, grabbed his dick and started pumping away.
Letting his eyes close, he moved his head slightly, imagining it was resting back on Mark's lap. He imagined the other boy's bulge growing once again, but this time he reached out and grabbed it. He let out a gentle whimper as he imagined his hand gripping around the thick cock. It was so much bigger than his own. His own hand sped up as he pictured Mark staring down at him, nodding for him to go on.
"Ah yeah," Josh moaned as he fantasised about his friend. "Touch me," he whispered, "Please!"
Josh sniffled slightly as he imagined Mark recoiling at the request, repulsed by the very sight of him.
He opened his eyes suddenly and shook his head. "No," he muttered, "Mark's not like that!"
While the momentary intrusive thought had taken him out of the fantasy a little, it had done nothing to hamper his erection, so he reached down and took hold again. This time he didn't picture Mark... at least, not JUST Mark. While Josh missed most of his hobbies that he had been forced to put on hold during treatment, football and rugby were the ones he missed the most. While it was partly for the games themselves, he couldn't deny he very much enjoyed the showers afterwards. He closed his eyes as he thought about it.
Danny and his amazing butt, so pert and bubbly. Rob and his stiff little nipples, so wonderfully sensitive and... pointy!? Ben Hill's dark skin, already flawless but even sexier when wet. Mikey and all of his cute little freckles. Nicky and his giant dick (okay, Nicky wasn't on either team but it was Josh's fantasy so he could make it up). He thought his way through virtually every member of Year 10 as he happily tugged away at his dick, picturing the sexiest parts of each of them. He threw back the covers and pulled his shorts down below his balls to look at his dick as he stroked it.
Returning to the fantasy shower, Josh looked round at his friends again, enjoying the sight of them all naked and wet and hard (yes, they just happened to be hard, again... fantasy!) but it was when he imagined the sight of Mark that he finally let out a pleasured gasp and yanked up the front of his t-shirt. The load he squirted onto his flat, smooth tummy was small as always, but the pleasure that came with it was intense.
Josh was just in the final throes of his orgasm when the door flew open.
"Josh, I..." Mikey started as he rushed in, but stopped as he saw his friend lying there, cock in hand, stomach covered in spunk. "Oh my god, gotcha!" he called out, starting to laugh.
"Piss off," Josh whined as he reached out to try and cover up.
"Aww no, hold still, I wanna get a picture!" Mikey called out as he fumbled for his phone.
"I hate you so much!" Josh complained as he rolled onto his side, pulling the covers up over his head as he heard Mikey laughing. He let out a sigh as he pictured Mark again.
Danny stopped as he walked along the corridor, having only just registered what he had seen as he walked past an open door. He thought for a moment and considered continuing on, hoping to catch up with Finn at last, but something pulled him back to the open door.
"Hey," Danny said, offering a meek smile to Dom, who was sitting alone in the dorm he was sharing with his brother, Eoin and Milo.
"Oh, hey Danny," Dom said, having adopted the habit of using the names as he committed the new group to memory.
Dom had smiled back, but Danny really didn't need to know the older boy well to see that his mouth was smiling but his eyes were not. "You okay?" Danny asked casually.
"Yeah, all good," Dom replied with the same sad smile.
Danny flinched ever-so-slightly. Was that what he sounded like, and looked like, when talking to Mr Rudd. Was he as transparently not fine any time he claimed to be fine? Danny slowly paced into the room as Dom watched him curiously. "I, uh..." he started, unsure of the best way to put what was on his mind, "I just wanted to see how you're doing!"
"Oh, I'm good. I've done Christmas before. Every year, actually," Dom replied with a slight smirk.
Danny chuckled at the sarcastic comment as he looked Dom up and down. Like most of the students at the school that Danny didn't know', he had at least been familiar with the Year 11 boy. Most guys at the school had caught his eye at one time or another, but the boys outside of his immediate friend group tended to merge into a mass of random hot guys in the background' rather than standing out individually.
Now seeing Dom on his own, Danny certainly appreciated the view. Sporting a mess of sandy-brown hair that looked long overdue for a cut, he had an overall look best described as `intentionally unkempt', sitting around in ripped black jeans, a faded band t-shirt and a baggy, patchy, misshapen chunky knitwear cardigan. It was hard to tell his physique through the clothing, but from the glimpses Danny had caught over the years in the locker room he was decidedly average – not skinny while not chunky, not muscular while not scrawny.
"That's not quite what I meant," Danny said as he sat down at the foot of Dom's bed as the older boy sat leaning against the wall at the head end.
"I know, sorry," Dom said a little sheepishly.
"Easier to joke than answer?" Danny suggested.
Dom pursed his lips thoughtfully for a moment then nodded.
Danny sighed gently as he nodded towards Bobby's empty bed and said, "Guessing you're kinda taking the worst of it to protect him."
Dom nodded silently again.
"Sounds pretty tough," Danny said sympathetically.
Another nod.
"Sorry, am I just being annoying now?" Danny asked, cringing a little.
Dom shook his head, but realised his silence wasn't helping and said, "No, I... I appreciate you checking."
Danny smiled as he saw Dom smiling back, looking significantly more sincere. "So how sick are you of people asking if you're okay?" he asked with a wry smirk.
"Oh, you have NO idea!" Dom smirked, shaking his head.
"I can probably make a pretty good guess," Danny smirked back.
"Oh yeah, sorry," Dom nodded knowingly, the many tribulations of Danny and his dorm well known throughout the school.
"I know, right!" Danny said, nodding emphatically. "Half the time when people are saying, like I'm here if you need to talk', I just wanna say back to them, screw talking and just fuck me'!" He suddenly blushed as he saw the shocked look on Dom's face. "Oh my god, sorry, that was so wrong!" he apologised awkwardly.
"No, I get it," Dom replied with a dismissive shrug.
"Good," Danny said, chuckling awkwardly as he got up. "Well I guess I'll see you later. Lemme know if you need anything," he said, then blushed a little and added, "Or any of the others. They're all cool!"
"Thanks," Dom said as Danny headed for the door. Just before Danny stepped out, he called out, "Oh, Danny!"
"Yes?" Danny asked, casually grabbing the doorframe to swing on and look back.
"I'm here if you need to talk!" Dom said with a smile.
"Thanks," Danny said before walking out. He suddenly stopped wide-eyed as he realised exactly what Dom had said. He leaned back around and stared at him and got a playful wink in return. They both burst into laughter as Danny headed out.
"Well that's just rude," Chris pouted as he flopped down into a seat next to Mikey.
"What did I do now?" Mikey asked, looking round in slight confusion.
<<Ooh, trouble? Punch him. Get first blood!>>
Chris laughed as he shook his head. "No, not you. That lot!" he said, gesturing across the room.
Cian and Aidan were happily occupied playing with Milo, David had been accosted by Fiadh who was inordinately entertained by his pink hair, Clare was sitting with Aisling who was deep in conversation about rugby with Rob, while Mr and Mrs Smith were chatting to Nicky's parents.
"They're here ten minutes and I'm already old news!" Chris grumbled.
<<Ugh, this isn't a fight. It's boring. You're on your own!>>
"Thought you'd appreciate the break!" Mikey shrugged.
"I do, but that's not the point!" Chris pouted playfully.
"Is the point really that you just want attention?" Mikey asked pointedly.
<<Ooh, burrrrrrn!>>
"I could really go off you, y'know!" Chris said, eyes narrowing in mostly-fake annoyance.
"No you couldn't, you love me!" Mikey said confidently.
<<Chris and Mikey sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!>>
"You know it, hot stuff," Chris sniggered, elbowing Mikey playfully.
<<Why are you in a tree? Get out of it and start F-U-C-K-I-N-G!>>
Mikey frowned briefly and said, "Oh, fucking!"
"What?" Chris asked curiously.
"Nothing, never mind," Mikey said dismissively. "Hey, you see that?" he asked, quickly changing the subject as he pointed over to where Nicky was sat tapping away on his phone, grinning.
"Yeah," Chris said with a smile. "He seemed a bit off earlier but... better now," he said thoughtfully. He had intended to check in on his friend, but family kept getting in the way.
"Yeah, I did that!" Mikey said proudly.
<<Hey. It was my idea. Credit: me! Trademark: me! Copyright: me!>>
"You did... what?" Chris asked curiously.
<<You didn't do anything you ginger cunt. Tell him it was me!>>
Mikey flinched slightly and said, "Well someone else gave me the idea, but... well, I spoke to Rob who asked Jazz to message Gray and give him Nicky's number cos they're stupid and hadn't exchanged numbers yet cos they usually just chat through the Kingswood app and now they're texting and look how happy he is!"
"Aww," Chris said, throwing an arm around Mikey as he pulled him close, "That's so sweet. D'ya think... there's something going on between them?"
"Nicky says they're just friends. Til he says otherwise, it's none of my fuckin' business!" Mikey shrugged.
<<Gray's stealing Nicky. You hate him!>>
"Fuck off, me and Nicky are still best mates!" Mikey snapped angrily.
"Woah, I... didn't say anything!" Chris said, recoiling nervously.
<<Don't lie. Tell him the truth! Tell him about me! Christmas in the loony bin sounds SO fun!>>
Mikey winced a little and shook his head as he said, "Sorry, just... thought you were going to!"
"Nah," Chris said, shaking his head. "I know you two are good, and what you did was sweet!" he added, letting out a gentle sigh. "You really are the sweetest, you know that?" he said quite proudly.
"Yeah, I know," Mikey shrugged. He thought for a moment and added, "Actually, that might be you. Your story for Josh was so cool and you're one for me was so good!"
"You really liked it?" Chris asked, smiling at the compliment.
Mikey nodded. "I liked the way you used the real stuff I told you that actually happened and then made it even nicer and fitted it in with how I said goodbye to Snuffles!" he explained.
<<It was shit! Tell him I thought it was shit!>>
<<Hated it. Zero stars!>>
<<Needed more sex! Sex sells!>>
<<I liked it!>>
<<It was shit! Seriously! Tell him it was shit! He's shit! Everything's shit!>>
Chris cocked his head at the slightly dazed look on Mikey's face and asked curiously, "D'you ever miss him?"
<<No. No you do not. You don't. Tell him you don't. Tell him you're glad he's gone. Tell him! Tell him!>>
Mikey looked like he was struggling to answer for a few moments before he eventually shrugged and said, "I don't know!"
"Okay, sorry, it's okay," Chris said softly.
Mikey glanced across the room at Chris' family, seeking another subject change. He looked back to Chris as he said, "Hey, while you're actually free, wanna go do naughty things?"
"Naughty as in sex stuff or naughty as in burning things?" Chris asked with a wry grin.
<<The second one!>>
"The first one!" Mikey replied.
"Sounds like a plan!" Chris grinned as he jumped up, offering his hand to Mikey.
"If you're naked, you got five seconds to cover up before we come in!" Mark called as he opened the door to the dorm slightly.
"Screw that!" Josh insisted, shoving the door open, "I wanna see naked boys!"
"Nobody's naked!" Danny said, shaking his head.
"Yet!" Chris added with a grin.
Josh, Mark, Rob and David all piled into the dorm, quickly spreading out to join their four friends. As Josh happily flopped down on top of Mikey, Mark pulled Chris out of the way, then sat where he had been, with the smaller boy positioned between his legs, arms casually draped around him.
"Ooh, I approve!" Chris said happily as he nuzzled back against Mark.
Rob jumped on to Danny's bed beside him, smiling away as he did so, while David happily accepted the invitation of Nicky holding an arm out for him to approach.
Paired up, they all sat chatting for a little while, catching up on their day before going to bed.
"Hey, should we have invited the other guys to come in, too?" Danny called out thoughtfully.
Everyone looked at him curiously as they considered the question.
"Hmm, considering how likely we are to end up naked and stuff, I think I'd rather my little brother WASN'T in the room," Rob mused.
"Wait, who's getting naked?" Chris asked quietly, slightly out of the conversation as he lost himself in cuddling up to Mark.
"Plus Bobby and Dominic are brothers," David added. "Doubt they wanna do naked things together!"
"Yeah, naked things with your brother. Can you even imagine!" Danny muttered, giving a smirk and side-eye to Chris. It earned him a punch in the arm from his boyfriend.
"I wouldn't plan too much naked stuff," Chris said, shaking his head, "I'd say there's a pretty good chance Cian or Aidan..."
"Or both of them!" Danny added with a grin.
"Yeah, or both of them..." Chris repeated with a nod, "... are gonna end up in here soon enough!"
"Well the way I see it, that just means we should do stuff quick before they get here then!" Nicky suggested with an emphatic nod.
"Wow, out of chastity for two days and already competing with Danny for King of the Sluts!" Rob said with a bemused headshake as a few of the others sniggered.
"Oy, stop that!" Nicky snapped.
"Relax, I'm just kidding!" Rob said, shaking his head. He winced slightly. Remembering the issues he had caused with Danny recently after saying similar things. He got an eye-roll-accompanied grin back from Danny, giving him permission to on so he added, "Nobody's taking that crown from Danny!"
"Hey!" Nicky scowled.
"It's fine," Danny said with a smile, though he was suddenly very conscious of it looking as transparent as Dom's had earlier. "He's just cranky cos he's not getting any action til after New Year now!" he teased Rob back.
Nicky huffed slightly but didn't interject any further.
"Hey, why d'ya think I came to THIS bed!" Rob said, winking exaggeratedly at Danny.
"Oh, so I'm like some public service now?" Danny asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yeah, like public transport," David called out. "Everyone's encouraged to take a ride on you!"
"Ooooooh!" several of the others called out through their laughter.
Danny looked at Nicky, who was smirking, and asked, "Hey, what happened to defending me?"
Nicky glanced back and, thankfully, saw Danny actually looking amused despite his protest. "Sorry," he said with a shrug, "But that was funny!" He offered David a high-five, which the smaller boy proudly accepted.
"So who's wankin'?" Mikey demanded abruptly. "I caught Josh at it earlier and now I'm kinda horny!"
"Dickhead," Josh grumbled, blushing as he heard some sniggers.
"Chris' story was right. You really have got that whole honesty thing down to a fine art," Rob said with a smile. As he saw Mikey look at him curiously, he added, "I'm saying it's a good thing!"
"Oh, well... thanks," Mikey said, "But seriously. Who's goin' for it?"
There was a general murmur of agreement as most of the boys casually started groping themselves.
"You got another one in you?" Mikey whispered to Josh.
Josh had been intending to say no, until he saw Mark across the room pawing at his crotch as Chris moved to his side. "Yeah, I think so," he said back quietly with a nod.
"You wanna do each other?" Mikey asked, pulling his dick out of his shorts, never shy to be first at anything.
Looking round nervously, Josh shook his head and replied, "Umm, kinda but..."
"Don't wanna make a show of it?" Mikey asked, getting a slight nod in return. "Fair," he said with a shrug. "Maybe another time!"
"Yeah, I'd like that," Josh said as his eyes wandered back over to Mark.
For the next several minutes, the room fell quiet, other than a few happy moans and gasps and the occasional whisper. Rob and Danny had happily chosen to pleasure each other, while the other three duos kept their hands to themselves.
"Who's cumming first?" Mikey called out. "It can't ALWAYS be me!"
"Don't worry, Danny's on it!" Rob answered as he saw the telltale signs of an imminent orgasm beside him. He continued stroking Danny rapidly as everyone watched on, collectively enjoying the sight of the small mountain of spunk that erupted.
"Hot!" Mikey said happily before spurting a thick load over his own chest and stomach.
Over the next two minutes, everyone else followed, with Danny stroking Rob over the edge shortly before David and Nicky shot in unintended synchronicity. Chris shot his load directly into his hand, depriving his roommates of a show so he could swallow his load shamelessly in front of them. Seeing the boy beside him imbibe his own juices, Mark let out a gasp and spewed a sizeable load, the first shot flying across the room before he aimed the rest back onto himself.
Josh let out a gentle whimper as he watched Mark cum, then grunted his way through an intense orgasm, but rather meagre ejaculation.
The casual conversation quickly returned, even as the boys set about cleaning up the mess, a pleasant side effect of their closeness and comfort around each other. The last of them had only just finished cleaning up when the door opened a crack.
"Oh, I thought you were all in bed!" Aidan said as he swung the door open fully.
"You mean like YOU should be," Chris said disapprovingly as Aidan and his twin wandered in.
"It's Christmas, bedtimes don't apply!" Aidan said with a cheesy grin. "Whatcha all doing?" he asked before Chris could argue.
"Appreciating some very fortunate timing!" Rob replied, getting sniggers from the others.
"Huh?" Aidan grunted curiously.
"Nothing, never mind," Chris said, smiling. "I take you two are planning to spend the night?" he asked curiously.
"I'm not spending anything, but I wanna stay!" Aidan answered.
The rest of the boys couldn't tell whether Aidan was joking or serious, but chuckled anyway.
Aidan looked round the room and asked, "Are you ALL sleeping in here?"
"No, we're just visiting," Rob replied. As he glanced over at Josh, he added, "But we should be going. It actually IS someone's bed time!"
Josh scowled and started, "Aww, you're just..."
"Save it!" Rob snapped, cutting him off. "You know the conditions they set. Unless you wanna spend Christmas back in the medical facility, it's bedtime!"
As Josh grumbled but climbed off Mikey's bed, Danny leaned over towards Rob and whispered, "You're hot when you take charge!"
Rob snorted with laughter and leaned in to kiss Danny's forehead before climbing off the bed.
Cian, who was still a little shy around the group, stared at the exchange wide-eyed and ran to Chris and whispered in his ear.
Chris sniggered a little and said, "Rob, I'm supposed to tell you not to kiss Danny, cos he's MY boyfriend!" The comment got laughs from around the room as Cian blushed heavily at the reaction.
"Don't worry, I'm not stealing your brother's boyfriend," Rob said as he walked past Cian, "We just know it's okay to share your toys sometimes!"
"He's not a toy, he's Danny!" Cian said petulantly, scowling at Rob as he folded his arms.
"Well that's me told!" Rob said, forcing himself to keep a straight face. As he headed for the door with Josh, David and Mark, he stopped and said, "We'll see you in the morning. Night Chris, night Mikey, night Nicky..." he paused to smirk a little before he looked at Danny and added, "Night toyboy!" It earned another angry scowl from Cian as everyone guffawed.
Rather surprisingly, it hadn't taken that long for the boys in the dorm to fall asleep. Worn out from the excitement of the day, Mikey and Nicky quickly dropped off while Chris and Danny dealt with the constantly shifting and fidgeting twins. By the time they finally settled, Chris had Aidan to one side of him, while Cian was contentedly nestled between him and Danny.
With everyone else asleep, and three of the Smith siblings to his side, Danny's mind wandered to their brother, Finn. In all the chaos of the afternoon and evening, Danny had not yet been able to reunite with him. It didn't help that he seemed to spent an inordinate amount of time talking to the mysterious `Molly'.
Lying restlessly in bed with Cian snoring gently in his ear, Danny couldn't help thinking the worst about Finn. After all, his last girlfriend had been an absolute nightmare. A dedicated `influencer', her entire life seemed to be about sharing picture-perfect moments while using Finn as nothing other than a prop. She controlled his every moment and, worst of all, had started physically abusing Finn towards the end of their relationship. Knowing so little about Molly, but seeing some similar patterns, Danny couldn't stop worrying about it.
He knew he could just grab his phone and drop Finn a text, but aside from not wanting their reconnection to be digital, what could he really say in a message? `Hey, sorry we haven't spoken in months. Is another girl abusing you?' Letting out a gentle sigh, he gave in to the inevitable and carefully crept out of bed. He didn't really need to be that cautious. The twins had more in common with Chris than their appearance, they also shared his ability to sleep through almost anything!
As he made his way out into the hallway and headed to the area Chris' family were staying in, he kept running over what he would say when Finn opened the door, assuming he actually did. "Just go with `hi', act casual," he mumbled to himself as he walked along. "No, that's stupid," he answered himself. "Ask him if he saw the Liverpool/Man U match last night!" he suggested to himself, then shook his head again.
On the verge of turning round and just going back to bed, he rounded the final corner and stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Finn leaving his room.
They stared at each other for a moment, then said at the exact same time, "I was just coming to see you!"
As they both laughed, they walked towards each other, and Finn immediately threw his arms around the younger boy. Danny paused for a moment as he felt the comfortingly familiar sensation, then gripped on tightly, delighted to be holding the older boy once again.
