Chapter 40: That Star Quality

The Gym, Ridgecrest High School, Fallon Creek, Michigan...

Dribbling basketballs filled the gym as coach Bert had everyone running and shooting for the beginning of class. Rick Channon had been doing well enough as he had not passed out following a series of shots that hit "nothing but net" as he warmed up for the lesson alongside Casey who had not been much of a basketball player despite his earlier fluke victories in flag football and wrestling. Everyone had their eyes trained upon the two of them mostly due to the incident of Rick's collapse the previous afternoon and how Casey seemed to care for him despite the petty rounds of bullying that took place. Just like before Rick had been a mesmerizing sensation on the court as he dropped shot after shot into the net following Casey electing to just pass the ball to him. They were all getting something of a workout as the coach continued to marvel at the skill and talent Rick Channon exhibited on the court even when simply playing around with his fellow students.

"Hey Peterson, I make this three-pointer and you're buying me lunch," Rick said dribbling as he called out to Casey who rolled his eyes.

"No fucking way asshole you already know you're gonna make the shot," Casey called back catching a few basketballs of his own and putting them up into the air.

Rick smirked and did a rather fancy trick shot and once more the ball sank into the net.

Once he made the shot he rushed over and blocked Casey's attempt at a shot knocking the ball away at a mild speed and grabbing the younger teen in a headlock where he proceeded to rub his bare knuckles into his skull.

"Knock it off asshole that shit hurts," growled Casey struggling to get away.

"Make me," replied Rick laughing at his lover's expense.

Coach Bert had gotten the impression that Rick Channon and Casey Peterson were along the lines of good friends and hatched an idea in a bid to get both boys to participate in trying out for the basketball team.

The sweaty and roughhousing boys were all over the court wrestling and trying to block each other's shots before the coach put a stop to it via a well-timed whistle and ordered everyone to hit the showers.

He approached Casey who had elected to assist in collecting all the rolling basketballs and placing them back on the equipment rack as Rick and the others headed for the showers.

"Peterson," said Coach Bert getting Casey's attention.

Casey finished placing the last ball and rushed over toward the coach unsure of what he'd been summoned for.

"Yeah coach?" he asked with an arched brow.

"I was wondering how you would feel about being a part of the basketball team?" asked Coach Bert with a smile that made Casey uneasy.

"B-basketball team?" asked Casey caught off guard by the request. "Have you not noticed my distinct lack of talent on the court?"

Coach Bert grinned and waved off the self-deprecating insult from the young lad with messy sweat-slick brown hair.

"I believe we can make use of you." he insisted. "After all what are good coaches for?"

Casey sighed understanding at least that much, but he wasn't in the least a fool in terms of not knowing the coach had an ulterior motive for asking him to be on the team.

"You and Channon have sort of become good friends as of late," said Coach Bert at last getting to his true motive for asking Casey to join the team.

"Well I haven't killed him yet if that's what you're getting at," replied Casey thinking about how close he had come to wanting to.

Coach Bert chuckled a bit as he turned the discussion back toward what he wished for the new arrival.

"Well, in that case, Peterson I would like you to convince Channon to rejoin the team." He said meeting Casey's shocked expression.

"And if I can't get him to play ball?" asked the younger lad.

"Then we'll just have to look for better players to make up for lacking the best," replied Coach Bert. "Get Channon and you play alongside him no riding the bench or tryouts."

Casey sighed unsure if Rick was gonna go for something like this. The young lad wanted the chance to reinvent himself, playing basketball would give him just that and with Rick on the team, he knew people would care less about how terrible he played with a star to make up the difference.

"I guess it can't hurt to ask him about it." Casey reasoned.

"That's a good lad," said Coach Bert with a smile as he patted Casey on the back before walking off.

Casey took a moment to collect himself before venturing back to the showers.

The Boy's Lockerroom, Ridgecrest High School, Fallon Creek, Michigan...

Casey finally reached the locker room passing the other boys who were either naked or in their towels and chatting up a storm about upcoming sports events and what they were doing to hang out after school. Casey made his way to the furthest end of the locker room and proceeded to get undressed in a bid to hit the showers. He had gotten down to stripping out of his underwear when he felt the all too familiar sensation of a naked body behind him gripping his hips and trailing down to his newly exposed pale ass. The young lad's breath hitched in his throat as he leaned back against the muscle-ripped chest of his rather attentive lover. Rick smirked as he leaned down to kiss Casey's shoulder.

At the instant of feeling the older boy's hands move along his exposed pale ass, Casey's cock began to harden and he did his best to bite back a moan to keep the other boys from finding out what they'd been up to in secret. Rick let out a low growl as his own already aroused cock leaked along the cold grey floor and he carried Casey into the less-used showers.

Once they had been beneath the waters of the showers, Casey let out a brief moan as he once more pressed his ass against Rick's throbbing cock while the older teen pulled him close to him. There was a definite danger of getting caught by one of the other boys or the coach himself but it seemed to add to the overall thrill and excitement of their being together.

Casey had nearly forgotten that Coach Bert wanted him to talk to Rick about rejoining the basketball team with the added condition that he'd be welcomed among them as well.

"Rick," said Casey breathlessly as he leaned back against the older boy's chest.

"Hmmm?" asked the lust-fogged older teen as he wrapped his hands around the younger lad's waist once more.

"Coach Bert wants you back on the basketball team," said Casey finally coming out with it. "He's all about putting me on as well if you agree to play again."

Rick arched a brow at this despite Casey not being able to see it.

"What's in it for me?" asked Rick slowly kissing the younger teen's neck as a low growl rumbled from his throat.

Casey smirked as he pressed his ass against Rick's massive and water-slick cock.

"Hot sex here and now," he replied.

Rick smirked against Casey's skin.

"I can have that any time," he said pulling Casey's ass closer to have contact with his cock as they both groaned in reaction to the mutually pleasurable sensation.

"Rick." moaned Casey.

The older boy let out another growl as he leaned his head down to capture Casey's lips in a heated kiss while pressing him against the tile in the shower.

"Alright." said the older boy realizing that Casey had wanted to be a part of the team. "I'll only join for you."

Casey smiled as he turned to face Rick kissing him with a good deal of heat as he pulled the older boy's body close to him. Their water-slick chests came in contact and Rick moved his hands along Casey's hips as he lifted him off the shower floor and pinned him against the wall parting the younger lad's thighs as he pressed his own body between them. It only took a moment for Casey's cock to be pressed between their bellies and Rick's massive monster to slide into the slick folds he'd been well accustomed to since their first encounter.

Casey's breath hitched as Rick slid his way inside him stretching him good as he pinned him along the wall and the warm water fogged the showers and beat down against the two of them.

"Aw fuck..." hissed the younger lad clinging to his older lover as he continued to impale him via his enormous cock. "You feel so fucking good."

Rick groaned as he slipped deeper inside the warmth he craved kissing Casey's lips as he held him via his impressive strength.

"So do you," grunted Rick as he thrust forward filling the younger lad completely.

Casey moaned again as Rick began to get into a steady rhythm with his thrusts while the younger lad clung to him.

"Fuck...you're so big." hissed Casey enduring the deep drilling of his lover's massive cock.

"And you're so fucking tight," growled Rick pumping his well-toned hips faster and faster.

He knew they didn't have much time and set about getting them both off as quickly as possible.

Rick howled as he thrust into the younger teen over and over again loving the feel of him clenching around his cock as he increased his pace to frantic proportions. He had only wanted a quickie before they headed back to their remaining classes but was loving every second of being with the moaning younger lad.

"Fuck..." hissed Casey losing himself in the relative pounding he'd been taking as a result of his lover's eagerness. "Fuck....slow down...fuck..."

Rick grunted as he became more frenzied in his movements his lust getting the better of him as his eyes began to glow the same eerie yellow-golden hue as always when he'd been given to his physical excitement.

The quick pace seemed to spur both of their releases as Casey's cock throbbed before splattering them both with his white seed and Rick filled the younger teen in an instant despite still frantically pumping his hips and thrusting his cock inside his young lover through wave after wave of his own release filling the younger lad as they stood entangled in the shower.

Casey panted as Rick leaned against him before slowly letting him down and kissing his lips while the warm water continued to beat down on them.

"Fuck you feel so good," whispered Casey saddened by the fact that Rick had begun to withdraw from him.

One more quick kiss and they separated taking their respective showers. Rick saw his way to exiting first and getting dressed in a bid to return to their remaining scheduled classes. Casey sighed beneath the shower stream as he allowed it to run along his tired and aching body a few moments more before exiting himself. Rick had agreed to rejoin the team at least and Casey knew all too well that he'd make him work for it when they got back to his place after school.
