Even then I might not have gotten to know him if he hadn't ended up in the same section of Chemistry that I was taking. By the luck of the draw, I was the only one in my section without a partner so the teacher automatically assigned Danny as my lab partner. You know how you do the "getting to know you thing" when someone is introduced to you. Like, you ask them where they're from, and what school they went to, and whether they have a girlfriend -- those sorts of things. Danny was pretty hard to get to know, though. About all I could get out of him initially was that he was from the Midwest, and his parents had recently died (he didn't tell me how), and that he had come to live in the city with his uncle -- guess the only option he had was to turn the uncle down, become a ward of the state, and get placed in a foster home. I could tell that he wasn't too happy about coming to live in New York City -- must have been a real change from wherever it was that he had used to live. As time went on, I did get to know a little more about him. Seems his uncle is a big shot with some accounting firm and spends, like, all but a couple of days a month traveling out of the country. And even when he's in town he puts in all kinds of hours at the office. So for all intents and purposes, Danny is pretty much on his own. Guess there's a housekeeper that comes in every day to keep the apartment cleaned and fix his meals for him. Also found out that Danny was on the swim team in his high school and since I' m on the team at St. Patrick's, I invited him to come along with me to a couple of the practices. Pretty soon he had joined the team. I'm not sure that it was something that he really wanted to do -- just gave him a chance to do something other than hand around an empty apartment in the evening. Actually, as I found out, "apartment" wasn't really good description. After one of the meets he asked me if I'd like to come back to his place and share a pizza. Free pizza is always good by me so I agreed. I was a little surprised when we ended up at one of the bigger and fancier condos in town, even more surprised when the doorman addressed him as: "Master Danny. " The icing on the cake was when we got off the elevator and I found that his uncle had a huge top floor penthouse. Like, 4 or 5 bedrooms, an exercise room, a huge kitchen, an office, a library --and the best part -- a private outdoor pool. Not a pool like a hot tub, but a real lap pool. Guess being an accountant isn't such a bad job after all. And way up high -- it was like we were looking down on all the other buildings -- like we were on the top of the world. Danny even pointed out a telescope by the pool and told me that some babe in a building several stories shorter than his liked to sunbathe in the nude. I told him that if he'd invite me over for that, that I'd even spring for the pizza. Anyway, by that time it was getting pretty dark and I had to lead for home before my parents started raising holy hell. As I was riding the subway I was thinking that I never would have guessed that Danny lived in that kind of place. We're both juniors and that's a pretty busy year in high school -- the classes are pretty hard and there's pressure to keep your GPA up so that you'll have a better choice of colleges. Danny and I were friends but not what you'd call really close. Because he was alone at Thanksgiving and Christmas, I invited him over to my (much smaller) apartment and my parents liked him. But mostly we were just casual friends and members of the swim team. Bad Day In January Before I tell you what happened to Danny in January, I gotta tell you a little about the swim team. St. Patrick's isn't the best in the city -- or the worst, but all the guys on the team had fun. The captain -(TM)s a kid named "Jeb" and he and some of the other guys really take it seriously. Like they work out every day in addition to the practices, and they shave all the hair off their bodies to reduce drag from the water. Danny and I aren't into that kind of thing -- both wear our hair not quite shoulder length, and naturally curly -- just naturally styled if "styled" is even the word for it. In a way it's kinda funny because Jeb really isn't that well developed where it counts -- if you get what I mean. Danny's probably about 5" or so (although I never got down on my knees in the showers and measured him). I'm a good 6" (and I did measure that). When the guys get their Speedos on for a meet, you can see that Jeb's "package" is a little smaller than everyone else's. Oh, I forgot to mention that the school colors are orange on light blue. So the swim team has caps that are blue with orange stripes -- but the guys who shave themselves don't bother to wear them. And our Speedos are blue with "St. Pats" on the back. We were kidding that it would be better advertising if it said "St. Pats" on the front -- right over our cocks -- but the coaches aren't that dumb. Anyway, after one meet in mid-January, Jeb was in a really rotten mood. Our times had been really bad and he was taking it personally -- well, he should have -- his times were among the worst in the group. So when we got back in the locker room he was really pissy and looking for someone to pick on. As the new guy on the team, Danny usually took the heat. That day there weren't any other coaches in the locker room. There's a school rule that we're always supposed to be supervised but that day the JV squad was in a really tight heat and all the coaches were up at the pool watching them. So Jeb starts ragging on Danny about how he had let the team down, and calling him a "pussy" and a "fag. " Danny usually ignored him but this day he turned his back on Jeb, dropped his Speedos and said: "Kiss my ass you fat queer. " Jeb lost it. He came charging at Danny and slammed him to the floor. He yelled at three of his friends to come over and help him "...show this fag a lesson. " The three guys held Danny to the floor while Jeb dropped his Speedos and pissed on Danny. Then he had his friends hold Danny up while Jeb stuck his cock in Danny's face and told him to: "Suck on this, you gayboy. " The rest of us were like, what the shit's going on? We had seen a lot of kidding around before but this went way too far. The locker room cleared out really fast, leaving Danny there alone. I grabbed one of the coaches and got him back in the locker room where we found Danny, sitting on the floor in a pool of urine, crying. We got him cleaned up and the coach gave him a ride back to his uncle's apartment (penthouse?). I was like -- --. well, I was pretty shook up. I just went home, ignored my parents, and went to bed. Home Schooled For a couple of days the school tried to ignore what had happened. Their attitude was like "Well, kids just horse around. " I've got to admit that Danny's uncle, while he's not in town very much, can sure get results when he wants to. He had a high-priced law firm file lawsuits against the school, the School Board, and the coaches who were supposed to be monitoring the locker room. He went to the police and filed complaints against Jeb and his friends. The upshot was that Jeb was convicted of felony assault and expelled from school. His three friends were given probation and transferred to an "alternative" school. Danny? Well it was like I felt really bad for him but I didn't know what to say so I left him alone. It's not like I really had a lot of chances to talk to him because his uncle was so pissed at the school system that he pulled him out of school and told them that Danny would be safer being home schooled. He hired a couple of high- priced tutors to come up to the apartment (penthouse?) and work with Danny a couple of times a week. What got me to seeing Danny again was the school. It turns out that even though he's home schooled, he still needs to get paperwork from the school every couple of days and to turn in tests and reports so that they can monitor his progress. I guess that because I was his lab partner and one of his closest friends at school that I'd be the logical person to serve as a "courier. " When they asked me I wasn't sure how it would work out but I agreed to try. The first time I took a package of papers and book up to his apartment I was pretty nervous. I think Danny was too. When he opened the door he kind of just looked at the floor and we didn't say anything for a minute or so. Finally I said something cool like: "Hey asshole, here's your school stuff. " He smiled and punched me on the arm and after that things were OK. Danny was never what I'd call really outgoing, but after what happened at school he seemed even more shy and withdrawn. Like when I visit him it's pretty much like nothing had happened. But when I suggest that we might want to take in a Yankees game or a movie he always turns the offer down. I've got to admit that the penthouse doesn -(TM)t lack for things to do. One time in February I was dropping off some paperwork and the weather was really bad -- like maybe a blizzard? And on the roof of the condo it was worse -- you could even feel the building moving just a little with the wind. As I was getting ready to leave, Danny says: "Steve, how about a swim. " I was like: "Aw come on, you'll freeze your ass off. " But he said: "Trust me, you'll like it, come on! " Then he stripped right there and walked naked out the door onto the rooftop patio. This was beginning to seem a little weird but I figured what the hell, I'd follow along -- for awhile anyway -- so I stripped and followed him. Going out into the storm was like getting hit by a train. I could hardly move against the wind, the patio had about 6" of snow on it, and my balls shriveled up somewhere behind my stomach. But I made it to the pool and lowered myself into it, bracing for the freezing water. It was warm -- almost hot -- heated in the middle of winter! So we hung out in the pool for about an hour while the storm roared around us --just talking, and horsing around. Later as I was getting ready to leave, Danny said: "That was great, Steve. Don't be such a stranger. " "Yeah, sure. " I replied. Changes Begin I kind of lost track of Danny over the summer. There was no school work to take to him on a regular basis. My parents always took us on a couple of week's vacation. And I really wanted to take advantage of outside stuff in the warm weather. So I kind of lost track of Danny for a couple of months. Well, not completely -- we'd IM each other but I never made it up to his uncle's condo. Come mid-September the school asked me to resume the courier bit and I agreed. A week or so later I had to drop off the first envelope with Danny and when he met me at the door something seemed a little different. The weather was pretty warm that day and he was barefoot, wearing a pair of ragged cutoffs and a baggy old T-shirt. It looked as though he hadn't gotten his hair cut as the curls were now brushing against his shoulders. There was something else about him -- I couldn't really put my finger on it, but he seemed a little - - well, softer. He was never really muscular or anything like that but the swimming had kept him pretty trim. Now he just looked like he hadn't been exercising as much and might be getting a little out of shape. After he opened the door and saw me, he stepped forward, threw his arms about me, buried his face in my shoulder, and said: "Steve, boy have I missed you. " Well I've never really been into hugging other guys so I just said: "Me too", gave him a quick squeeze, took his arms and gently removed them from my waist, and said: "Come on, let's go over this paperwork. I've gotta get back to my apartment right away. " He got a funny look on his face for a moment but then smiled and we went into the apartment, went over the schoolwork, and I made my exit. So for the rest of the fall, things seemed pretty back to normal. Or almost normal, anyway. Danny seemed more lonesome or something like that. Whenever I visited him he'd get this big smile on his face. And when we were going over the schoolwork he'd sit right next to me. Or if I was sitting at a table working out the solution to a math problem for him he'd stand behind me and lean over me and put his arm on my shoulder. It made me a little nervous at first but after awhile I got used to it. Eventually it even got to feel kind of nice -- knowing that another person liked me and needed to be close to me. When was at Danny's I noticed a faint aroma, like he had been using a scented shampoo, or a body wash --strawberry, I thought. It got so that I was at his place about every other day and my visits gradually became longer and longer. After the schoolwork was done, we'd play video games, or watch a movie, or just hang out. I even started dropping by occasionally even when I didn't have paperwork for him. Come the end of the year, I noticed a difference in Danny. It was like he was more withdrawn and a little nervous -- like something was bothering him. After putting up with this for a couple of weeks, I asked him what was going on, like had I done something to piss him off? He was silent for a couple of minutes and then he said: "I'm not sure. But I've been feeling kind of funny lately. And I don't know what's going on. " "Funny, like sick" I asked him. "No. Funny, like different" he replied. So we sat there for a couple more minutes in silence and I finally said: "Well, if it's nothing I can help you with, I better be going. " Danny looked at me and then he pulled off the baggy sweatshirt that he had been wearing. "See. " He said. I looked at him and I couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Then I looked again and it seemed as though his pecs were a little bigger, like he had been working out. "So what's the big deal? " I said. "You've been lifting weights or something and gained a little more muscle mass? " He didn't say anything but stepped forward, took my right hand and placed it on his left breast. I was surprised by how soft and warm it felt -- not like muscle at all. "Eating too much fat food? " I asked him, " You better watch your diet. " "Yeah, that's probably it he said. - put his sweatshirt back on, and we hit the video games for an hour or so. After that he seemed better, like whatever it was that was bothering him was OK now. And Continue Things seemed pretty normal for about a month and then Danny started acting kind of distracted again. After a week or so if this I asked him what his problem was this time. He said: "You're gonna find out sooner or later. ", and pulled off his shirt. I think my jaw must have dropped as I stared at his chest. Danny's pecs had continued to enlarge and now looked like two small breasts. " So, you couldn't keep away from the fattening stuff? " I stammered. "No", he said, "That's not it at all -- they just keep growing larger. " "Like, have you been to the doctor? " I asked him. "You kidding? You think I'm going to walk into some doctor's office and ask him about these things? I've just been hoping that they'll go away. " "Maybe they will. " I said, "Put your shirt back on. " We were both pretty embarrassed at that point, not really knowing what to say, so I excused myself by saying that I had a lot of homework to catch up on and left. That night I had a dream that Danny had breasts and that I was playing with them. When I woke up the sheets were soaked with cum. The next couple of days were kind of difficult for us. Whenever I was at Danny's I kept trying not to stare at the baggy sweatshirts he wore, but I kept wondering what was going on under them. Danny, in turn, was acting like nothing had ever happened and that we were just two buds hanging out together. Finally on Saturday, he turned to me and said: "What the fuck, let's go for a swim. " He quickly stripped and headed for the pool. I wasn't sure what was happening but followed him. Once in the pool, he turned to me and said: "See, not getting any smaller. " He was right in that. Now I've always considered myself kind of a connoisseur of tits -- but on girls, not guys. But I had to admit that although they weren't that big, maybe like an A-cup, that Danny had a nice pair on him. They were a light pink in color with the nipples a slightly darker shade. They stuck out maybe an inch or so from his chest and didn't sag a bit. If they'd been on a girl I would have thought they were "perky. " Danny saw me staring at them and misread my thoughts. He turned away from me and said: "I was afraid that you'd think that they were gross and that I'm some kind of freak. It's OK. You can leave now. I'll be OK. " His voice was shaking as if he were crying. I moved up behind him and put my arms around him, cupping his breasts with my hands. "No," I said, "I think they're the most beautiful things that I've ever seen. And ... " and here my voice started shaking,"... and I think you're the greatest person in the world, and I want you to be my friend forever, whatever happens. " Danny turned to face me and we embraced, both with huge erections. After we got past that awkward stage, Danny and I were more open about the change that had taken place in his body. No more big floppy sweatshirts. He started wearing his usual T-shirts and his breasts were noticeable through the fabric. Well, more than noticeable -- over the next several weeks they seemed to swell larger and larger. By the end of the month I'd guess that they were probably now a B-cup. Schoolwork went on as usual but often when we were sitting on the couch watching TV, I -(TM)d gently slip my hand up under his shirt and gently fondle one of his breasts. The first couple of times I did this I could feel his body stiffen but then he relaxed and began to enjoy it. As I gently rubbed his nipples he'd snuggle up to me and rub my crotch. "I know that you're enjoying this", I said to him once, "But don't you think that you should see a doctor or something? Like what are you going to do if they keep getting bigger? " "Well," he replied, - So what if I go to the doc and he wants to put me on drugs or something, or wants to do something even worse? I mean, they way things are right now they're not bothering me. And I can sure tell that they're not bothering you at all. " I blushed at that comment. He continued: "And my uncle is never around, the housekeeper is half blind, and my tutor --well that guy is so far over the hill that I think he has trouble telling me from an armchair at times. So if you and I are happy, why worry? " I guess I couldn't disagree with that. Time sort of just drifted by after that. I was spending more time with Danny -- and really missing him on those days when I couldn't make it up to his place after school. I know that he missed me a lot too for whenever he greeted me at the door there was always a lot of hugging and kissing to kick off our meeting. As we took pleasure in the feel of each others bodies, lying snuggled together, rubbing and fondling occupied more of our time together. Pretty soon it was May and time to graduate from high school. I got my high school diploma and Danny got his GED -- he picked that because he could complete the paperwork without leaving the penthouse. Immediately after graduation, as soon as I could break away from my parents, I rushed up to the penthouse to see Danny. He didn't greet me at the door this time, but there was a note on it: "Door's unlocked. Come on in, Steve. " I entered and heard him call to me from the living room: "Steve, I've got a surprise for you. " Entering the room I saw him standing there with his back to me. It looked like he was wearing some tight shorts and a small, tight T-shirt. As I approached he turned around and I saw that the T-shirt was torn from the top nearly to the bottom. His now nearly C-cup breasts swelled from the shirt. "Do you like my graduation clothes? " he asked. We embraced and I could feel him working to remove my pants. I helped him and then removed his. As we stood naked, embracing, he stuck his left leg between mine and began rubbing it up and down against my crotch. That was all it took and we were soon madly rubbing out bodies against each other. I don't know who came first but shortly our chests were dripping with hot cum. Danny told me to wait as he had another surprise for me as he went into the kitchen. He shortly returned and I could see that he had smeared Crisco or Vaseline over his upper body. He lay down on the floor on his back and whispered: "Now I want you to fuck my tits. " Jesus, I needed no encouragement. I knelt over him and he pushed his breasts together to enfold my cock. As I thrust back and forth he arched his hips and groaned with the pleasure of feeling my dick rubbing against his knockers. I came again and even though the amount was smaller this time, splattered more cum over his breasts. I knelt and licked them clean as Danny groaned and rubbed my cock. What a great way to celebrate graduation! Summer Fun We spent most of that summer hanging out by the pool at Danny's penthouse. Because of his appearance, Danny really did not want to leave the building any more. By "appearance" I mean that if you came up to him from the back, he'd look like a boy in his late teens. Well, his curly hair now hung several inches below his shoulders but that's not that unusual. And his build was that of the usual male - wide shoulders and narrow waist -- that hadn't changed. But from the front your eyes are immediately drawn to these two huge breasts. I'm not sure what their "official" size was, like a D-cup, or a DD-cup or whatever -- but they now hung down a good 6" or so and were very full. Danny knew how much I admired them so he usually didn't wear any shirt. Or sometimes, he'd wear a shirt that was really tight and with the top several buttons undone so that his cleavage would mound up out of the opening. He had one T-shirt that I liked where he had cut the bottom off of it so that you could just see the bottom inch or so of his breasts as they sagged beneath it. One of his "tricks" was to come up behind me, lean over and drape his breasts on either side of my neck. So you can tell that we were both really enjoying the situation. In the pool, it was really funny because his boobs didn't hang down but floated up to the surface. So Danny would be standing chest deep in the water and his "cannons" would be floating in front of him, sticking out a good 6" or 7" from his chest. One day I was relaxing on a lounge by the side of the pool and he swam up to the edge and placed his two huge tits right on the edge of the pool. "Hi Steve. Feel like a mid-afternoon snack? " he said. I laughed so hard I nearly peed in my Speedo. We both worked up a pretty good tan by the end of the summer. Of course, one of the best things about that was "helping" each other with the suntan lotion. Generally I'd go first and spend a lot of time making sure that every inch of Danny's body was well-covered -- with real emphasis on his breasts. Then he'd return the favor. One day, it must have been mid-July; he got down as far as my Speedos, got two large handfuls of suntan lotion, slipped his hands into my Speedos and began massaging my cock and balls with the lotion. Well, that had the expected effect right away and he slipped off my Speedos, allowing my dick its freedom. He then laid down next to me on the lounge; we snuggled out slippery and sweaty bodies up to each other and jerked each other off. The best part came several weeks later. Danny and I had just been shooting the breeze, remembering how we had met each other, and the subject turned to the attack on him in the locker room. He confided in me that he still had dreams about that episode. But he also said that in some of the dreams he'd take Jeb's penis in his mouth and suck on it. "So, what's the point of that? " I asked him. "Well", he said, "I kinda wondered what it would be like to really do it instead of just dreaming about it. Could we try sometime? " Well, Danny had a pretty good cock on him, even though it wasn't as big as mine, but the thought of going down on him didn't really do much for me. But on the other hand, if he wanted to -- -- --. I didn't say anything but just leaned back in my chair, unzipped my fly, and gave my member its freedom. All 6" of it arose into the air with Danny's eyes eagerly following it. He moved over, knelt by my side, bent down and gingerly kissed its tip. Seeing that nothing horrible had happened, he took the tip in his mouth and I could feel his tongue moving over it. By this time I was beginning to breathe pretty fast and Danny was getting excited too as he took more and more of my cock in his mouth, licking and sucking on it. I could only take so much of this and came in his mouth. I think it surprised him at first as he gagged a little but he swallowed my cum and then smiled up at me. "Do I earn my merit badge for that? " he asked, wiping my cum off his lips. I just smiled. After that I wouldn't say that Danny was insatiable, but he sure wanted to go down on me at every chance. His desire to suck me off exceeded my ability to recharge my balls but that didn't bother Danny -- he was just so turned on by having his face in my crotch and my cock in his mouth. Toward the end of summer we had a minor problem. Danny's hooters were so large now that they hung down nearly to his waist. I swear that they looked like small watermelons. As he walked they swung back and forth -- in fact, I noticed that because of their weight, Danny now had to arch his back backward a little to help balance himself. One time he got up from the table and as his breasts swung forward, the shift in weight caused him to stumble and he had to grab a chair to steady himself. "Guess I gotta be a little more careful about sudden moves. " he muttered under his breath. When he would lie on his back on a float in the pool, soaking up the sun, his mammoth jugs would sag into the water on either side, like huge sacks of flesh -- well, that's what they were by now. Anyway, one day he said to me: "Steve, I think I gotta problem. " Ever helpful I responded: "What. " "Well" he said, "It's getting kinda awkward to walk around with these hooters swinging in front of me. Plus, they're getting so heavy that I think I'm getting stretch marks, or something, at the top. " I moved over to him and looked and sure enough there were these faint vertical marks in the skin at the top of his breasts. We figured that the solution was probably to get some kind of support for them. We tried just taking a shirt and tying a knot at the bottom to sort of form a sack that would support his breasts. But that was a problem because by the time we found a shirt large enough to form a sack huge enough to contain his tits, the sleeves were like down to his knees -- plus the knot kept coming untied. We ended up by doing some searching on the Internet and found a place that sold something like a sports bra for "full figured" women. This whole process was pretty funny. I've heard that girls have a hard time getting the right bra size -- even when they can try them on. And here were two guys trying to do it long distance! Anyway, we finally found one that would fit Danny's size, about 48" now, and ordered a couple. The funny thing was that they fit surprisingly well. Not that they really hid anything as all that extra flesh was now pushing out in front of his chest, instead of sagging down around his waist. And they really just supported his tits instead of completely enclosing them so Danny now displayed a massive amount of cleavage. It was kind of funny watching him eat as he had to sit back a little from the table so his tits wouldn't rest in his food, and he had to reach around them with his arms to get to the food. Every so often he would drop some food and it would disappear into his massive cleavage. Of course, I and my eager mouth were always there to help him with his "problem. " I think he got to "accidentally" spilling a lot of food on himself --especially sweet sticky sauces that required a lot of licking to clean off. And Off To College We had to make some decisions later that summer. I ended up settling for one of my lesser choices in college because it allowed freshmen to live off campus. So Danny and I moved out of the city and into an off-campus apartment. We found one that had lots of room and a nice patio with complete privacy. It wasn' t nearly as spacious as the penthouse but we figured that it was only for a couple of years. Plus we took every possible chance to get back to the city and the luxury of his penthouse. The only thing that makes me a little nervous, is that when I was shaving the other morning, something felt a little "different" and as I looked down at my chest, it looked like my pecs were slightly larger than usual -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ This post has been reformatted by ASSTR's Smart Text Enhancement Processor (STEP) system due to inadequate formatting. ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ <1st attachment begin> <HTML removed pursuant to http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/erotica/assm/faq.html#policy> <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
