CHAPTER 3 UNDER WAY
The "Starkeeper" was racing to Mars. Usually it would go directly from Earth to Alpha Orion IV, but a special stop had to be made at Mars first for reasons that weren't given to the passengers. Using the planetary drive the trip would take two days. The ship could warp faster, but Scooter's dad and the Chief Engineer were working on installing the new part and Captain Fuller didn't want to go to warp inside of the Solar System.
Douglas sat alone in his cabin, which was a suite. He had his own bedroom as did his parents. The suite also had a living room between the bedrooms, a bathroom, and a little kitchen for making snacks. But there also was a big dining room for the passengers. Douglas was thinking about Scooter. He couldn't get the boy out of his head. Looking at him, touching him, listening to him all made him feel warm. He knew he was falling in love with somebody he had known for only five minutes. He looked at the map of the ship and found the location of the games room for kids. After dinner he would be heading there, but right now he needed a nap.
Scooter was in his room thinking the same kinds of thoughts about Douglas, wishing and hoping Douglas was having the same feelings about him. But he knew there was no way Douglas could feel that way—after all most boys didn't have those feelings about other boys. He hoped that after dinner Douglas would show up at the games room.
Jeremy was lying on his bed and Ryan was asleep in the other bed. It was almost time for dinner, so he decided to wake up his roommate.
"Hey, Ryan. It's almost time to eat!"
Ryan opened his eyes and looked around trying to figure out where he was. He glanced over at Jeremy and realized he was wearing just a pair of white briefs. Ryan couldn't take his eyes off him. He could see that Jeremy had a boner. Ryan wished Jeremy would put some pants on to cover his erection.
Jeremy knew Ryan saw him and he didn't care. He wasn't ashamed of his body, any part of it. In fact, he decided that next time he would lie on his bed in the nude and see what happened. He liked Ryan and figured he needed to wake the boy up and get him out of his funk.
Ryan knew Jeremy hated him because of the way he acted earlier, crying like he did. He knew he needed to stop being so emotional, especially in front of somebody as confident, athletic, and macho as Jeremy.
Alex kissed Stevie in their bedroom. They were in bed together where they had just finished making love. They had hugged each other, shared deep kisses, and rubbed their hard dicks against each other, humping their naked bodies against together. Even though both boys were still sticky with cum, they kept kissing and hugging, wishing they didn't have to get out of bed to eat.
"I love you my dear sweet brother," Alex whispered to his little brother. Stevie closed his eyes—he treasured how safe and loved his big brother made him feel.
It was dinner time. There were five dining rooms for passengers on the ship. Everyone was assigned a dining room, but could sit where they wanted during the trip. Robert Charles wanted to check out all the other kids on board one more time so he could see who he could intimidate. Dinner wouldn't be the time to do that, but he knew there would be some activity in the games room after dinner. That would be the time.
Douglas walked into the dining room with his mom and dad. They were assigned to dining room #1. He wished he could see who was there. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a blond head coming in through the door. It was Scooter and he was with an older man. Douglas figured that it must be his dad. Scooter and his dad sat at a table near the middle of the dining room. Douglas slyly led his parents to the same table.
"Hi, Scooter." Douglas said with a smile.
"Hiya, Douglas."
"Well," Douglas's mother said, "it looks like you've made a friend already."
"Oh, sorry mom." Douglas apologized. "Mom, dad, meet Scooter. Scooter, this is my mom and dad."
Scooter introduced his dad to them. Each table in the dining room was round and had eight seats. There were 30 tables in each dining room. Pretty soon a couple with a young boy sat down at their table, filling the last empty chairs. The boy was probably five or six.
"Are you going to the games room tonight?" Douglas asked Scooter.
"Sure. Are you?"
"You know it."
Scooter looked at Douglas and smiled. He liked the way Douglas answered him. He liked everything about Douglas he'd seen so far. In fact it was getting uncomfortable inside of his pants; the boy beside him was having an effect on him. What he didn't know was that Douglas was having the same problem.
Douglas saw that Travis was sitting a couple of tables away. He wished he'd seen him earlier and got to ask him and his parents to sit at their table. Well, there were a lot more meals to go. All he knew was there were two very cute boys in this dining room with him. Too bad he couldn't do more than look.
Travis smiled when saw Douglas and Scooter sitting together. He was happy they were in the same dining hall. Next time he hoped they could all sit together. Oh well, he thought, the trip has a long way to go. Two long months. He gave Scooter and Douglas a quick, shy wave, and was happy when they waved back.
Meanwhile, Warren's dad knocked on his door and opened it a crack.
"Time for dinner, Jelly Bean."
"I'm not hungry dad. I'll get a snack later."
"It will do you good to get out."
"Maybe tomorrow. I'm really tired."
Warren's dad left to eat. As soon as Warren heard the door close, he took off his clothes and his underpants, lay down on his bed, grabbed his four-inch dick and started jerking off. He wondered if there were any cute boys on the ship with whom he could jack off. But to find out he would have to leave his cabin, and he didn't want to do that. At least not today.
Jeremy and Ryan sat together at a table in dining hall #2. The table soon filled up. A single man sat there along with a couple with a son and a daughter. Jeremy started talking almost right away. The boy's name was Matthew, and he was ten. The girl's name was Lisa and she was thirteen. The boy had black hair and was very cute. The girl was cute too, and if Jeremy had been into girls he figured he would surely be into her. Lisa, of course, had no clue about the boys. She thought both of them were cute and started flirting with them. Jeremy was flirting too, only it was with Matthew. Lisa thought Jeremy was flirting with her and was smiling. Ryan thought Matthew was cute too, but he was too miserable to flirt. He was wishing he could steal an escape pod and head back to Earth.
The man sitting next to Ryan started talking to him. He told Ryan he had a son their age. Ryan asked where he was. The man told him he wasn't feeling well, and was still in the room. Jeremy was half listening to the talk while he ate and flirted with Matthew, who didn't know Jeremy was flirting with him, and ignoring Lisa, who thought Jeremy was flirting with her.
So there's another boy on board, Jeremy thought, when he listened the man talk about his son. He wondered if he was cute, and how soon he would be able to see him. Maybe in the games room after dinner, he hoped.
In dining hall #3, Mike and Brad looked for an empty table. They were running late and could find only one table open. Mike was happy to see it was next to the one where Alex and Stevie were sitting. His chair was across the aisle from them.
"You guys going to check out the games room after dinner?" he asked.
"We plan on it," Alex replied.
"Great. I hope I see you there."
Mike saw that his dinner was being put in front of him. It was time to quit talking and get into something important—food.
In dining hall #4, Jordan made sure he was on the opposite side of the dining hall from Robert Charles. He scouted the dining hall for any cute boys. He noticed one who looked to be ten or eleven, but he was on the other side of the room. He spotted another boy who looked to be around eight. Jordan hoped he might see them in the games room after dinner. They looked real ready to learn the ropes from an expert--himself. He would make sure that before the trip ended, the younger boys would learn everything they needed to learn.
Robert Charles, on the other hand, was scoping the girls. He found one who looked around fourteen—he had seen her coming off a shuttle. He knew he had seen a couple of others—they must be in other dining halls, he thought. But he would see them soon, either in the games room or at the school.
Scooter and Douglas finished their dessert at about the same time.
"Do you want to go straight to the games room?" Douglas asked.
"Sure."
The boys excused themselves and headed for the games room. Douglas checked his map and they located an elevator. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the games room, which was already starting to fill up. Scooter and Douglas both started checking out the boys, not knowing the other one was doing the same thing.
The games room was huge. It had video games, virtual games, pool, ping pong, pinball, computers, televisions—almost every game that could be imagined. It looked like nobody was going to get bored during these two months.
They saw Alex, Stevie, and Mike come in and scoped them out. Travis soon came in, and they knew what they thought of him. When Jeremy and Ryan came in, Douglas noticed something. Ryan was checking out Travis, he was sure of it. Travis had spotted Lisa, and was heading her way. He didn't notice Ryan looking at him at all. Lisa, though, was heading for Jeremy, who was trying to find Matthew. While he was looking, Jeremy saw there were quite a few cute looking boys on board. He wondered if any of them liked playing other kinds of games.
The evening was spent with kids getting to know each other. Scooter, Douglas, Jeremy and Ryan ended up playing table hockey together and found themselves really liking each other. Mike, Alex, and Stevie were watching a vid of an old 20th century movie, talking, and telling each other about their lives.
Travis was talking to Lisa, who kept looking over at Jeremy. Travis would look over in the same direction, wondering who she was looking at. He thought all four boys were cute, which kind of surprised him, but his eyes kept coming back to the taller of the two blondes. It was bothering him that he kept wanting to look at the blond boy more than the blond girl sitting next to him.
Jordan was the one who found Matthew. They played a virtual video game. Jordan was going to let Matthew win a few games, but became a bit irked when he discovered that Matthew could beat him on his own. Jordan finally decided losing was okay because he thought Matthew was cute, and his goal was to get Matthew to do what he wanted.
Robert Charles walked up to Travis and Lisa. He remembered her from watching the shuttles unload. He thought she was the cutest of the girls he saw getting off and she was definitely the cutest one in the room. Besides, going for her, he had a chance to show the boy sitting with her who was boss.
He looked down at Travis. "Do you mind if I have a turn talking to your friend?"
"Sure," Travis said with a friendly smile. "Have a seat."
"I was thinking of alone. And you maybe going to find some other girl, or some game to play with the little boys."
Travis thought he saw a sneer on the bigger kid's face. He thought for a minute of telling him to go fuck himself. But he had only known Lisa for about an hour. He remembered how she kept looking at other boys, and how that one blond haired boy kept looking his way. And he didn't think he was looking at Lisa. For some reason he was having an effect on him, like nobody ever had before. But the blond boy was just that, a boy. He shouldn't be doing that to him. Travis shook his head and got up.
"Here. Go ahead and talk." Travis walked off towards the table hockey game. What happened was no big deal to him. He realized he didn't like the big kid who sat next to Lisa. What he didn't realize was the big kid saw this as a victory and saw Travis as just one other person in the galaxy for him to boss around. In his mind, Travis was his first win. He saw Travis go to the table hockey table. He looked at the boys there. All of them were between thirteen and fifteen. They were boys who, he was certain, would soon be doing whatever he wanted.
Yeah, Robert Charles thought, as he let himself sit real tight to Lisa, he would own this ship in no time at all. Like his dad, he was born to be a leader.
Ryan watched Travis walk over to the hockey table. And he kept looking. And looking. And he felt something start to get hard, which caused him to be embarrassed, because he had a feeling everybody knew what was happening to him. He was afraid they would notice, and then he would lose all his new friends. And he knew Travis was a dead end anyway, because hadn't he just been sitting there with that cute girl?
Ryan quickly turned his head away and back to the table hockey game. He didn't notice that Travis was staring at him hard, and with the same results in his pants as Ryan had. Only Travis was more confused, because he knew he liked girls. Ryan, at least, had always known it was boys he liked.
"I'm really tired guys. Travis can take my place." Ryan left the table in a hurry.
"What's wrong with him?" Travis asked.
"I think he is a little lonely and a little homesick," Jeremy said. "He is really nice. I'll go back to the room early and make sure he is okay."
As Ryan headed out the door he bumped into somebody big. He looked up and saw a tall dark-haired boy smiling down at him.
"You sure are in a big hurry," the boy grinned.
Ryan was fighting back tears and wishing his boner would go away. Now he probably was making somebody mad as well. He tried snaking around him, but the boy grabbed him.
"Are you okay?"
"Y....y...yeah."
"No, you're not." The boy grabbed Ryan's arm and led him to a chair and plopped him down. He sat down next to him.
"My name is Mike."
"I..I..I'm Ryan."
"Nice meeting you Ryan. Now, do you want to tell me what has that sweet face looking so sad?"
"I..I...I....," Ryan burst out crying. Mike pulled Ryan close to him, his arm around his shoulder.
"It's ok, just let it go. Get it all out. I'm here for you."
Suddenly, Ryan felt safe in the big boy's arms. It was like he had bumped into a big brother.
Travis saw everything that happened. He didn't like Ryan's crying. He didn't think it was right for boys to cry. But somehow he wished it was his shoulder that Ryan was crying on. He wished he had followed Ryan when he started out of the room. He fought down his feelings. A girl was supposed to cry on his shoulder, not a boy.
Mike kept comforting Ryan. Letting him know everything was ok and holding him close. Mike noticed a boy standing in front of them—a boy as big as he was.
"Well now, isn't this a cute sight." He looked at Mike. "Is he your girlfriend?"
Mike looked up at him. "Why don't you go play in the sandbox," Mike barked.
Robert Charles shook his head and laughed. "I've got your number punk." Then he looked at Ryan. "And as for you, I'd be real careful whose shoulder you cried on. I'd be guarding my butt."
Mike let go of Ryan, and stood up. He already knew he'd had enough of this punk. But the crew member supervising the room smelled trouble and started walking toward them. Robert Charles looked at Mike, laughed, and walked away.
Mike sat back down next to Ryan. "He gives you any shit, you come to me, understand?"
Ryan nodded yes.
"And if you ever need to talk about anything...anything at all, I'm here for you. Any time, any place, understand?"
Ryan nodded yes again.
Ryan said he wanted to go back to his room. Mike said he would walk back with him. He said good-bye to Alex and Stevie and headed out with Ryan.
After a few minutes the crewman announced that the games room was going to close in 15 minutes. Kids started to head back to their cabins. A lady in a crew uniform came into the room.
She found Alex, Stevie, and Jeremy. She asked where Ryan was. Alex said he went back to his room with Mike. She was the lady who met them getting off the shuttle. Her name was Marie, and she was in charge of the kids who were traveling without a guardian. She told them if they had any problems they could look her up any time. None of the three boys told her that Ryan was having a problem. They all figured he was being taken care of just fine.
The boys were heading back to their rooms. Douglas found out that Scooter's room was not very far away from his. They walked back together, very close to each other. Their hands brushed together, causing both boys to shiver. They got to Scooter's cabin first. The boys stood there in the hall not sure what to do. All they knew was, they didn't want to leave each other. Douglas felt an incredible urge to kiss Scooter good night, but he fought it off. Scooter smiled, said good night and went into his cabin.
Mike dropped Ryan off, reminding him that he was there to listen to him any time. Ryan was feeling much better. He really liked Mike. He felt safe around him. His feelings for Travis were something different. Those, he would have to fight.
In his room Travis stripped down to his briefs and got under his covers. He stuck his right hand inside his briefs. He was incredibly hard. He wanted to think it was because of Lisa, but somehow he knew it was Ryan. And he was very confused. Finally, he pulled his briefs off, pulled back the covers, and went to work on his problem. He kept trying to think about Lisa, but he kept seeing Ryan.
Douglas always slept naked. As soon as he got his clothes off he set to work on his hard four inches. There was no doubt in his mind who his jack off fantasy would be. The sight of Scooter kept dancing in his brain.
Scooter always slept naked too. He loved being naked. In fact, he got naked as soon as he got into his cabin. He lay down on top of his bed. His four-inch dick was hard as a rock. He started stroking it when he heard his door buzzer. He flipped a blanket over himself quickly, and pushed the button by his bed that released the door lock. His dad stuck his head in.
"Just wanted to say good night son. I hope you had a good time. Did you make any friends?"
"Yeah dad. One especially. His name is Douglas. I think we might be real good friends."
"That's great. You aren't unhappy to be away from home for so long?"
"No. I'm happy. This is going to be great. Thanks for bringing me."
"Good night, son."
"Good night, dad."
The door closed and Scooter pushed the lock button. He pulled back the blanket and worked himself furiously to a back-arching dry cum.
Ryan looked to be asleep when Jeremy returned to the room. Jeremy took off his clothes, lay on his bed, and started jacking off. He didn't even bother to turn off the light. Ryan opened his eyes and saw what Jeremy was doing. He couldn't take his eyes off it.
Jeremy didn't care if Ryan watched him masturbate. He thought about the cute boys he'd seen, then he thought about Ryan across the room from him, and jerked himself to a hard orgasm. Ryan looked amazed as he watched the cum arc out of Jeremy's dick and over his chest and belly. Jeremy shut off the light without wiping off. Ryan put his hand down on his hard boyhood. It didn't take him long to stain his sheets, his thoughts on Travis.
Alex and Stevie cuddled up in bed together. Their guitar and keyboard were on the other bed. They wouldn't need that bed. They wouldn't need another bed for the entire voyage as far as they were concerned. They had had their sex that afternoon. Sometimes all that needs to be done is cuddle and sleep, which they did naked, arms around each other.
Warren was already asleep. His told his dad to bring him breakfast in the morning. His dad said if he wanted to eat badly enough, he could get up and get it himself. Warren took his meds, thinking he was right. He couldn't spend two months locked in his room except for school.
Jordan was thinking of Matthew. He could already see that he was going to have himself a slave boy this trip. Matthew was already becoming putty in his hands. And the boy who had been crying might be older than he liked, but he would keep an eye on him as well. He'd found ways to use older boys before. He also thought about Robert Charles and his punk attitude. But for some reason, Robert Charles and his pushiness made Jordan very hard.
Robert Charles was having his evening jerk off as well. He was thinking about sitting close to Lisa. He was thinking about her curves; he could see she was just starting to get breasts. She was so fine. He had other thoughts too. He already had established himself with that little asshole Jordan. He didn't care if his dad was President of Earth, no little jerk was going to stand in his way.
And then there was that Travis kid. He sure gave up Lisa to him fast. He had no balls at all. Then there was Ryan. Any kid who cried like that was his to own. The big kid with him was all mouth. That kid knew already who was boss; he just had to admit it.
Yeah, he thought, the first day of the trip was just ending, and already four boys knew who their boss was. And they would start telling some of the rest. They looked like a whole group of faggots to him, and he knew they were all going to be his to rule. There was no question in his mind who the leader of this voyage was going to be. One day and he had established that. Robert Charles was ready to cum, the image of Lisa in his head; but when he got his orgasm, his fantasy wasn't him boning Lisa that was in his head, it was him holding down Jordan and taking him.
The "Starkeeper" raced on planetary drive towards Mars. Eleven boys who had intermingled on the first day of a long voyage fell asleep, tired from the exertion and stress of their departure. Their heads were full of different and sometimes troubling thoughts. New relationships had been started on a voyage sure to test each boy, although not in a way they would ever have imagined.
