Chapter 2: Rampant Rupert

Monday mid-day Lewis got a text.

Hi Lewis,

‘See you tonight, thanks for your patience.’

Rupert.

Lewis returned a thumbs up. Arriving at the shop about quarter to five, he helped Mike behind the counter. He had told him on Saturday that Rupert was returning.

At ten minutes to five, Rupert arrived as arranged. Lewis gave him his order and some cash, then sent him to the chippy. By the time he returned, the shop was closed, and Mike had his coat on ready. As they passed in the doorway, Mike grinned at Rupert and said, ‘You look a lot happier than last time I saw you.’

Lewis closed the door behind him and left his keys in the lock. They went through to the back room and whilst Rupert shared the food out between them, Lewis made them coffees.

Over their dinner, Lewis asked him how his weekend had been. ‘I spent most of it just sitting thinking over everything you had said and how I felt in here,’ he said, ‘Apart from visiting my mum on Saturday that is. I felt so much better because I feel you will sort it out.’

‘How is your mum?’ Lewis asked. Rupert smiled, ‘Her face lit up when I walked in,’ he said, ‘It was lovely to see. But Matron said there’s been no change.’ ‘Well at least that’s better than deterioration.’ Lewis told him.

‘Anyway, thank you for the vote of confidence,’ Lewis said with a grin. ‘I haven’t failed yet. The hardest part isn’t finding the solution, it’s getting you at ease enough to tell me everything that happened. If we persevere, we will get there, I promise you.’

After they had finished eating and cleared away, Lewis told him to go and lie down. Rupert took his shoes off and lay down on the settee. Sitting beside him, Lewis smiled at him and asked, ‘How do you feel lying there today?’ Rupert smiled back not looking nearly as nervous as last time.

‘I feel safe and relaxed,’ he said. ‘Whether I can keep it that way. I just don’t know.’ ‘If you can’t, we’ll just keep trying,’ Lewis told him. ‘But just by being here, you’re saying you are determined to try. That’s always a good sign for success.’

‘I’m going to start off back on your head.’ Lewis told him. ‘I’ll go down your front just like I did your back. Don’t worry if you need to say stop. If you do, I’ll just return to your head and try again.’

Lewis put his hands on Rupert’s head and massaged it. As he moved onto his temples he said, ‘Say go when you’re ready.’ Rupert enjoyed the massage on his temples as he felt himself relax even more. During his thinking over the weekend, he had confirmed to himself what he realised he had known from the start. Lewis would never do anything to hurt him.

After enjoying the massage on his temples, Rupert said clearly, ‘Go.’ As Lewis moved on down to his shoulders he asked, ‘Resuming where we left off, how do you get on with the other boys at school?’ He moved on down his chest as Rupert replied, ‘In the main very well. There are a few who are bullies and look on someone small as easy game. I’m fortunate that some of my friends are bigger and tougher than me. They keep me safe.’

‘That’s good,’ Lewis said as he moved down over his stomach. ‘Who are your best pals, say the top three?’ As he finished speaking his hands moved up onto the front of Rupert’s trousers.

Lewis felt him stiffen slightly but nowhere near like last time. As Lewis moved on down, Rupert answered his question, clearly having to make an effort to start, but flowing well once he had done so.

‘My three closest pals,’ he said are, ‘Rahj who is of Indian descent like me, Roy, and Bernie. Roy and Bernie are local and came up from primary school together. Rahj moved to the area at the start of secondary school. We all clicked right away and have remained good friends ever since.’

As he spoke, Lewis had massaged all over the front of his trousers. Rupert had remained tense, but it didn’t stop him speaking. Lewis had felt a bigger bulge than he had expected. As his hand passed over it, Rupert stopped speaking briefly and there was a sudden intake of breath. Then he resumed talking.

As Lewis moved on down the front of his legs Lewis asked, ‘Of the three, if you had decided to talk about your problem to just one of them, who would it have been?’

Rupert thought for a moment, then answered, ‘Bernie.’ ‘Why him?’ Lewis asked. ‘He’s the quietest of us all,’ he said. ‘I would be sure he would keep anything I told him to himself and he’s also probably the most sensible of us all.’

Lewis started back up from his feet as he asked, ‘What sort of things do all of you, or some of you do together out of school?’ ‘We all go to each other’s houses after school, both as a group or individually,’ Rupert said.

Then as he said, ‘I’ve also stayed over with each of them, but I can’t do that very often.’ Lewis was massaging the front of his trousers again. This time there was hardly any tension and no intake of breath. As Lewis’s hand passed over his still soft cock, Rupert glanced up at Lewis briefly and went slightly red.

As Lewis moved onto his stomach Rupert continued, ‘We’ve always swum together both in and out of school. We all like cycling too. I haven’t got a bike, but Roy’s younger brother often lets me use his.’

They have all asked me to go on holiday with them at various times, but it’s never been possible to get permission. The Jeffersons have allowed me an overnight stay occasionally, but I think that was them taking a chance.’

Lewis was nearing the top of his chest. ‘Have they ever visited you at the home?’ Lewis asked. ‘Each of them has been once on my Birthday,’ Rupert told him. ‘We are discouraged from bringing visitors back. But in the good weather, it’s ok in the garden. Again, I think that is down to the Jeffersons.’

Massaging his head, Lewis took his hands away and told him, ‘Well done. You tensed up a little bit but nothing of any consequence. You really have relaxed.’

‘Now,’ Lewis said. ‘In a moment I’ll ask you to turn over so I can do your back again. You have seen how the massage has helped you relax and I’m sure you realise that being massaged on your skin would be even more relaxing.’

‘It will also help you when you come to discuss your problem with me later.’ He explained the mind and body link, then said, ‘What I would like you to do, now or later, is to strip to your shorts like you were going swimming. Then I will massage down your back again.’

‘If you can’t do that yet, just take your top things off. But if you don’t feel able to do either, don’t worry, stay as you are and turn over. Remember it’s your speed.’

Rupert thought about it. He had never had any problem stripping off for swimming, but he wasn’t sure about doing it to be massaged. In the end he sat up, pulled his top off and tossed it aside. Then he lay down and turned over.

‘Well done,’ Lewis told him, ‘That’s a good step forward.’ He placed his hands on Rupert’s head and massaged gently. Then he moved down onto his bare shoulders. As Rupert felt his hands moving onto his bare shoulders, he cried out.

Lewis took his hands off immediately. ‘No, it’s ok,’ Rupert called out, ‘That was lovely, it was a cry of delight.’ Lewis put his hands back and as he massaged his light brown skin he asked, ‘Imagine if the four of you had been swimming. You’re in the changing area getting dry and you have all taken your wet swimming things off.’

‘Now imagine you are all standing naked in a row facing me. Can you describe everyone’s differences, using yourself as a base.’ As Lewis massaged down his back Rupert replied, ‘Roy is about two inches taller than me, Bernie is a couple of inches taller than Roy, and Rahj is two inches taller than Bernie.’

As Lewis reached the waist of his trousers and massaged over his cheeks there was no sign of tension. Rupert carried on speaking without a break. ‘Bernie has the broadest shoulders, Roy slightly smaller, Rahj a bit smaller and mine of course are the smallest.’
