Next chapter:
Skye let the hot water pummel his back and chest, and then he thought the other guys weren't watching, he moved to the pressure streamed bounced his cock head back and forth, a feeling he loved but almost never got to experience, given that the showers in his trailer on the Rez had the world's weakest flow.
"Hey Carter!" called a voice over the noise of the showers, "I think I saw your girlfriend changing her outfit in her room the other day. I got so turned on I couldn't... oh god.. HELP MYSELF!" The last words were boomed out and echoed in the room. Skye, intrigued, turned around to see a huge arc of some thick white liquid spurting nearly the length of the room and landing on a guy not far from Skye, clearly the identified Carter.
Arc after arc followed and Skye followed it to its origin. A smaller member of the team had a bottle of hair conditioner in his hand which he was squeezing and pumping vigorously, causing the goo to spurt across the room. "Aw fuck! I can't help it! Gotta shoot! Gotta shoot! Yeah, take it, Carter." Skye looked over and saw Carter dripping with the white liquid and gasping with laughter. Carter then turned to his nemesis: "That's right, asshole! Use a bottle of conditioner since you can't produce the real thing! You know who can make me cum, tho? YOUR MOM!"
Again the baritone voices: "Ooooohhh!" Clearly, this sort of thing went on all the time, and it was developing into some kind of comic drama.
Carter grabbed his bottle of shampoo and yelled, "Here! I'll show ya! Oh Mrs Malone! I love how you work me over! ugh! ught UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!" and he in turn squeezed his bottle as the perpitrator and covered him with goo.
"Huh, " smirked Greg, the instigator of all this. "That's not what she told me. She said you were pushing rope and couldn't satisfy her." An arc of conditioner.
"Well, at least mine's rope and not twine." An arc of shampoo.
"Your rope may choke," continued Greg, " but only on the outside. Your girlfriend chokes on my twine INSIDE her throat." Another arc.
The two combattants could hardly taunt each other, they were laughing so hard. In a flash, Carter crossed the room to the other man and sprayed him with shampoo while at that exact moment, Greg did the same with the conditioner. Both guys were drenched and they dropped their bottles. They grappled with each other but had a hard time finding a grip given the slipperiness that covered them both.
"Man, you're slicker than your mom when I'm inside here," ranted Carter. "Admit it, Greg, ya douchebag, you know I'm right." So Greg was the other half of this false altercation.
"I'll admit you're right on the first night your horny girlfriend refuses me... and that'll never happen!" riposted Greg. The two continued to grab at waists, arms, even balls but they went down in a heap while the other guys laughed up a storm. "C'mon, Greg! Pin him like on the mat! Dude, Carter! Show him who's boss."
As the two guys went at it, their well-practiced wrestling moves now virtually useless due to the slickness the whole affair turned into one huge comedy sketch, with two practiced physical clowns trying to top each other for the amusement of their audience
After a few minutes of this, the two guys separated for a moment, breathless with exertion and laughter, but before they could start up again, Kirk grabbed the shower head with the house used for handicapped athletes, turned it on them and sprayed them full force.
"Okay, dick heads! Enough already. Fuck, I have to spray you down like horn dogs in heat." He sprayed them both in the face for a moment before Carter and Greg stood up, gave each other high fives, laughed and said some variation of, "You're an asshole, bro, but at least I won that one." Since they had both slapped high fives, laughed, and claimed victory, it seemed this would be an ongoing event throughout the season.
All this Skye took in instantly, gauging the dynamic with a social scanner he did not know he possessed. Feeling warm both inside and out, he finished soaping his body and rinsed it as most guys were finishing as well. This cause a bit of a bottle neck at the entrance to the showers, but after a few guys bumped into each other, nuts to butts as the Army calls it, which resulted in more laughter, they separated to their respective aisles. Guys were finishing drying, chatting, occasionally still rat-tailing a towel for a prank, and generally dressing with the carelessness that so many college guys show.
When Skye got to his bench, Kirk was already there. Both jockstraps lay as they had been left, and a momentary glace from Kirk made Skye wonder if his mentor had noticed the imitation. But Kirk said nothing and hooked his sweaty gear and jock to the elastic laundry strap that he hung on the cart for daily washing. Skye did the same, still naked and indeed relishing the feeling--a feeling that, no doubt, the other guys had felt as they had grown up but which was new to Skye.
He turned and reached for his dingy white briefs but stopped when he felt Kirk's eye on him.
"What?" Skye said, answering some unspoken comment.
"Oh, ... nuthin... it's just that..."
"What?" repeated Skye.
"Look, dude, I don't want to offend you, but I AM your mentor and I'm supposed to make sure you're comfortable and settled in."
"Yeah?"
"And... well... when you told me you had only one brief for underwear, I couldn't help it. Look, I have this pair of boxer briefs I haven't worn yet. I was thinking maybe you could borrow them until you could get some more for yourself."
Rage, sorrow, resentment, and something like love--all struck at once, a lightning bolt of emotions on the landscape of Skye's psyche. He'd never been offered much and certainly nothing as personal and intimate as this... but he'd also had to deal with the shame of poverty his whole life, and even after living with it, he still hated it when someone else noticed.
Kirk resumed: "I know it's weird... but maybe not so weird. In my dorm, we borrow each other's underwear all the time, like if we have a date and nuthin clean, you know? Aw, fuck, I can I see I'm bugging you, but listen, dude... it's my responsibility."
Again, the rage reared its monstrous head in Skye, but when he looked into Kirk's eyes and saw the sincerity, he recalled an old memory of a kindness done long ago, and somehow he melted and the rage passed over and through him and dissipated.
"Well," he said very softly, "I guess that'd be nice. Thanks, man. I'll get 'em back to you when I get another pair."
"Cool. Here." Kirk tossed him a still factory-folded pair of plain blue inexpensive boxer briefs. Only at that point did Skye become aware that he was standing naked, only a couple of feet from his mentor, with his overly large penis and hefty testicles on full display. He realized that in the past half hour, he'd already become more comfortable with this situation, to the point where he could have a conversation in the nude. He put the boxer briefs on the bench, fought back a tear, finished drying himself and pulled on the underwear. After several years of the same graying, faded, stretched out pair, he felt like a monarch pulling on this new underwear. Kirk watched him and said, "Great. They look like the fit perfectly. Nice."
Skye looked at him, speechless, glistening eyes.
Kirk whispered hoarsely, "It's cool, bro" and turned his own face away toward his locker.

As the two of them left the locker room, Kirk managed to say, "So that stuff you said earlier about never seeing dudes naked before.... i guess that all changed today, huh?" He grinned and punched Skye in the arm. "Good thing, too, cuz there's plenty of nudity in our dorms. A couple of guys practically never wear clothes. it's a fuckin hoot. Here, I'll show you where the dorm is...."
"
