James groaned. “Alexa, off.”
The beeping ceased and he rolled out of bed, the summer morning already pressing heat through the curtains. He wandered over to his laptop, signed on, and went to his YouTube channel.
“Holy fucking shit balls.”
“James?”
The CODM clip had four thousand views. That wasn’t what had stopped his heart — the Asmongold compilation had forty-seven thousand, the shorts individually sitting between eight and twelve thousand each, and the subscriber count had gone from zero to just under nine hundred overnight. The comment sections were moving in real time, little notification dots popping faster than he could read them.
“Fuuuuuuuck,” he said.
Christine wandered in, her hair still loose, mug in hand, wearing the expression of a woman who had knocked on a teenage boy’s door before and developed a very specific, very grim set of expectations about what she might find on the other side of that particular exclamation. She crossed the room with the brisk purposeful energy of a parent fully prepared to confiscate something and have an uncomfortable conversation about it, fully expecting porn — and then James turned the laptop without thinking, muscle memory overriding embarrassment, and she stopped, stared.
“How?”
“Eeh, I don’t know, I just did a game and, well.”
“That’s Call of Duty Mobile, right?”
“Yes.”
“Jesus,” she grinned.
She leaned in closer, scrolling without asking permission in the way parents did, reading the comments with the slightly bewildered air of someone encountering a foreign language. The comments were overwhelmingly positive — people tagging their friends, asking for more Asmongold content, a handful already asking what his upload schedule was. Someone had shared the rant compilation to a World of Warcraft subreddit and that was apparently where the bulk of the traffic had originated, a single upvoted thread that had cracked open the algorithm like a tin.
James sat back and kept his face carefully calibrated to fourteen-year-old surprise, which was not difficult because some portion of it was genuine — he’d expected traction, had gambled on it, but forty-seven thousand overnight was ahead of any reasonable projection. The monetisation was still locked, AdSense sitting dark and inaccessible behind an age wall he couldn’t climb for years, but the audience was real and building and that was the thing that mattered. You could always find a way to monetise an audience. An audience without a monetisation route was a problem worth having.
Christine straightened up, looked at him with an expression that was recalibrating in real time. “You made this?”
“Yes.”
She looked back at the screen, then at him, and whatever she’d been about to say next got overtaken by something more complex moving behind her eyes — the slow, slightly uncomfortable recognition that her son was perhaps not entirely what she’d filed him as.
“Don’t let it affect your school work,” she said, and took her coffee and left.
James looked back at the screen. Nine hundred and climbing.
He opened a new tab and started on the next video.
“Jesus,” he uttered, staring at the numbers still climbing. The sponsorship thought arrived immediately and practical — at what subscriber threshold did the DMs start coming in, and how fast could he scale before the algorithm shifted under him — when the daily quest pinged and dragged him back to the room.
He groaned. Then stopped. Stared at it.
“Instead of doing all that bullshit, is there a way I could integrate kettlebell and or skipping?”
The system glitched for a minute, then changed — the running was still there, but instead of 100 it was now 200 skipping and 100 kettlebells.
He sighed. “You know what, fuck you.”
Then he laughed, because what else were you going to do, and went hunting for Sean’s kettlebell, finding it in the garage where it always lived, a 16kg iron thing gathering dust under a workbench since approximately never. He dragged it to the living room, rolled the rug back, ran through the warm-up sequence from the Joe Rogan link with the methodical patience of a man who had already learned the hard way what skipping it cost, and then started swinging.
The movement came back faster than he expected — not from muscle memory, the body had none yet, but from the mechanical knowledge sitting behind his eyes, the understanding of hip hinge and posterior chain load that took most people years of coaching to internalise. The kettlebell arced and he let it, breathing through it, finding the rhythm.
Sean wandered down topless, his hair still carrying the indent of the pillow, shorts hanging low on his hips. He was a tall glass of something genuinely impressive in the morning light — broad across the chest and thick through the stomach in the way of men who did physical work rather than aesthetic work, the kind of body built for dragging people out of burning buildings rather than posing in front of them. The shorts were thin, well-worn, and the thick bulge of him hung heavy against the fabric, the tip prominent through the material with the unself-conscious weight of a man who had never once thought to be embarrassed about what he was carrying. James kept the kettlebell moving.
“Morning.”
“Morning, still going?”
“Yeah, I want the gains.”
“Nice,” Sean flexed his bicep, the muscle bunching into a hard round peak that James watched for a beat longer than was strictly necessary — that was a serious arm on a serious man — before returning his attention to the swing, the kettlebell reaching the top of its arc and dropping back through cleanly.
Sean scratched his jaw, looked at the kettlebell, looked at James, and said nothing, which was its own kind of approval, and padded toward the kitchen in search of coffee.
He finished up around lunchtime, Sean had gone to work, mum was out, sister was at her grandmother’s.
James decided to do chores. First, the wood needed cutting — a great excuse to take out some aggression — and that done he did the mowing. He’d lived on his own in later life, so he knew what weeding and what needed doing. He took off his t-shirt and got to work.
The sun was properly up now, pressing down on his shoulders with the flat insistence of a June afternoon that had decided to make a point of itself, and he moved through the garden with the unhurried competence of a man who had maintained his own spaces for decades. The mower tracked straight lines without being asked. The weeding was methodical — he knew which ones came back and which ones didn’t, knew where the ground was soft enough to get the root rather than just the stem, and worked through the beds with a patience his fourteen-year-old peers would have found alien. His back didn’t ache. His knees didn’t sing. The body was a gift he was beginning to take seriously.
He stacked the wood, cleaned the mower blades, and went inside with sweat drying on his chest and a specific domestic momentum carrying him up the stairs before he’d consciously decided to continue.
His room first. He stripped the bed with the brisk efficiency of someone who had changed their own sheets without ceremony for forty years, bundled the lot, and dragged the hoover out of the cupboard. It ran the length of the room, under the desk, around the chair, corners attended to without resentment. He remade the bed with clean sheets pulled tight and tucked with hospital corners that would have confused his fourteen-year-old self entirely.
Then he went collecting.
Bathroom — his own things, towels, a lone sock that had somehow ended up behind the radiator. He moved down the hall in the particular quiet of an empty house, the kind of quiet that had texture, and pushed open the door to Christine and Sean’s room.
It smelled like her. Instantly, completely — the specific warmth of her perfume and underneath it something more fundamental, more human, the smell of a woman in the room she slept in, and James stood in the doorway for a moment and simply let it happen to him.
He collected the towels from the rail. Sean’s t-shirt from the floor. And then at the foot of the bed, half tucked against the frame, a small cotton bundle — Christine’s knickers, white, simple, the kind she’d always worn, twisted into themselves from the previous night.
He picked them up.
He stood holding them in the quiet room, and the thing that moved through him wasn’t guilt, or not primarily guilt, it was something more complicated and considerably more physical — the body responding with the blunt hydraulic honesty of fourteen years old while the mind behind it supplied what the body couldn’t yet know from experience. Thirty-six C. Thick nipples that went stiff fast. The heavy triangular bush he’d find his face in years from now, dark and dense and fragrant. He knew her. Had known her in ways this body was years away from, and the gap between what he knew and what he was standing in made the cotton in his hand feel electric.
He raised them to his face.
The smell hit him low and immediate — warm, intimate, the specific musk of her that memory had catalogued without his consent across decades, and he exhaled slowly through it, hhhhh, the breath leaving him soft and unsteady.
His cock was already hard, pressing against his shorts with the urgent single-mindedness of a body that had not yet learned patience or consequence, and he reached down and freed it without ceremony, wrapping Christine’s knickers around his fist, the cotton soft and slightly warm against the shaft. He braced his free hand against the wardrobe and worked himself with long deliberate strokes, not rushing it, the smell of her still at his face.
He thought about her in the kitchen that morning — the weight of her tits moving under the loose fabric, the shift of her ass in her bottoms, the small domestic intimacy of her feet on the cold tiles. His hips moved against his own fist and he pressed the cotton closer, breathing her in, hhnngh, the sound escaping low and involuntary.
The fourteen-year-old body did not have the patience for prolonged ceremony. It was sixty seconds of tightening pressure, his jaw setting, thighs bracing, and then he came hard and sudden into the cotton, hnnnfuck — his hips stuttering twice, three times, the warmth of it spreading through the fabric as he worked the last of it out with a slow tight fist and stood breathing in the quiet room.
He looked at what was in his hand for a moment without particular expression.
Then he folded the knickers into the bundle with everything else, went downstairs, and loaded the washing machine.
Colours together, whites separate, forty degrees, the way it had always been done. He measured the detergent, closed the drum, and pressed start, the machine beginning its low patient cycle behind him as he moved to the kitchen to start on lunch.
James wandered outside, cracked his back, put on his running shoes and went for a jog. He completed the quest and came back sweating through his shirt when the reward screen popped up. He stopped.
“Hmm.”
He opened it. Three rewards each day, and he’d stacked the day before’s, so now six points sat waiting. He allocated them to endurance — longer, faster, the compounding logic of a man who understood that the physical edge was the one that paid dividends earliest. Then he clicked revive and blinked.
“Whoa,” he grinned, the word coming out on a long exhale. It moved through him like cold water on a hot day, complete and immediate — every tired muscle unknotting at once, the lactic acid burn in his thighs dissolving, his lungs opening back to their full capacity as though the last hour of exertion had simply been filed away and settled. He stood on the front path in the June heat feeling extraordinary. “Where was this shit when I was older.”
He laughed, and clicked reward.
A small box appeared, dropping neatly into the palm of his hand with a weight that had no business being there given it had materialised from nothing. He turned it over, then tapped the top.
