[[those two|thosetwo]]. but in a way, you guess they are [[too|6am]]. :: sound to be blunt, you're in a giant building completely covered with security cameras, and while you'd like a homocidal maniac and his robotic bear to watch you get off as much as the next guy, you've been [[avoiding it|it]]. :: thosetwo [[rockstars|everyone]] :: it and yes, what with all the goring and murdering and executing you havent exactly been constantly looking for a place to- but. you'd be lying if you said you werent relieved to find a [[locker room|locker room]] without [[cameras|cameras]] :: locker room getting off in the locker room. really. your first week being a highschool boy and you're already a regular [[delinquent|it]] :: cameras and you'd also be lying if you said that hanging out in a [[sauna|sauna]] with that [[biker kid|biker]] had made anything [[easier|easier]] :: sauna he made a face when you kept out towel up to your armpits the whole time but when you confessed why afterwards he. [[hugged you|hug]]. it was [[sweet|cameras]] :: hug "alright, aniki. that's just [[fine|sauna]]" :: easier you're sitting at the end of the narrow bench with your hand in your underwear when you hear a slight noise, like the scuff of a [[boot|boot]] :: biker you know he's a damned delinquent but he's kind of your brother. and he's [[attractive|cameras]] :: boot panicing you rip your hand out [[but-|but]] :: but "need some help with that, [[aniki|aniki]]?" :: aniki [[fuck|fuck]] :: fuck speak of the devil "brother? what are you doing out, it's night time, you should be in bed" "id ask the same a' you if i hadnt..heard. i was getting something to eat, to be honest. also, if you're here because you dont want the fucker seeing, you should know i could hear you from outside the [[baths|baths]]" "i- well." you dont really know what to say to that. "i have t' admit, aniki, im a little surprized. this doesnt seem like something you'd do" "as far as i know there's no school rule regarding touching yourself, as long as you're not doing it in the changing rooms" mondo coughs then, and you can almost swear you see a tinge of pink grow across his [[cheeks|cheeks]] :: baths a blush creeps onto you face. [[damnit|fuck]] :: cheeks he looks away for a moment "you know, ive never been with someone in your..situation, but my offer's still open" "uh, well. no, no thank you, im fine," "then can i, like, hold your hand or something, while you." he says, carefully looking everywhere except your [[face|face]] :: face "yeah" even you're shocked by your answer . peer pressure "really?" "yeah, i guess" "oh . ok. cool" he says, sitting down next to you on the bench he softly takes the hand of yours that hadnt been in your pants and interlaces your [[fingers|fingers]] :: fingers his are longer than yours and slender, calloused. they kind of turn you [[on|on]] :: on you tentatively move your hand back down to your pants, slowly, in case he's going to stop you, tell you he was just kidding. but he [[doesnt|doesnt]] :: doesnt you [[touch yourself|touch]] and he watches quietly, his grip occasionally tightening on your hand. once or twice he brushes his thumb up and down soothingly. it makes one of your thighs tingle a [[little|little]] :: touch through your underwear; it doesnt feel as unsanitary, and you tend to avoid direct contact with your genitals outside of bathing if you [[can|doesnt]] :: little after a few minutes you look up and. his expression isnt predatory in the slightest, it's tender. so you [[kiss him|kiss]] :: kiss his lips are infinitely softer than his hands and he tastes like beer and bikes that only go over speed limit and you dont support either of those things but hes got his other hand in your hair and you completely relax against [[him|him]] :: him instead of pulling back for air you tilt so only your foreheads touch and you breathe. he takes a little longer to open his eyes than you do and in that moment he looks so young. this is intimate. very intimate. but for the first time since you walked in those big iron [[doors|doors]] you arent [[scared|scared]] :: doors and maybe some time before [[then|him]] :: scared when you come you head is on his shoulder and you're kissing his neck. you shudder against him and his grip on your hand [[tightens|tightens]] :: tightens you slump down against him and he kisses your forehead [[lightly|lightly]] :: lightly "cmon aniki, y' should go put on your uniform. breakfast is starting [[soon|soon]]" :: covert "what're you doin' kid" "holding your hand" he huffs like hes completely exasperated but you catch a ghost of a smile tugging at his [[lips|soon]] :: soon if you get a few strange looks for arriving 20 minutes late to your own meeting, it's fine. if you get some even stranger looks for "[[covertly|covert]]" holding his hand during breakfast, that's fine too. come on, you're just brothers, right?
