The Camping Trip
Day One
Disclaimer: They are mine all mine. Muhahahaha *grins*
This is part of the Threads of the Tapestries Universe. It includes
elements of loving discipline of adult men and a minor child. While
the child is 16 there is no sex involving him though he does get
spanked. There is al so some BDSM but it is also done in a very
consensual manner. This series deals with slash and male/ male
sex. If any of this is not your cup of tea. Please feel free to delete
now.
Note: Tony's name was changed to a better one. *s*
Thank you Claire and Joey for Betaing, You are treasures.
Day one
Friday
The two vehicles met up on the freeway, of course this was
prearranged and together they drove up to the lake. The trip was
pretty uneventful. Most dozed while Ohanko and Quincy drove, in an
attempt to make up for the lack of sleep the night before. The lake
was beautiful. The sun glittered on the surface like thousands of tiny
diamonds, each one sparkling its brilliance back at the onlookers.
The men got out of the vehicles and stretched. Most of them knew
each other, Iggy and Mew were the new ones of the group.
Madison pulled Mew out from where he hid behind him. "Come on,
no one here bites much except maybe Iggy."
Iggy snorted and stuck out his tongue at the black haired man. "Oh
that was so funny I forgot to laugh. Sheesh bite one salesmen and
they never let you forget it ."
That brought peals of laughter from the group.
When Madison had stopped laughing he turned to Mew. "Okay, pay
attention 'cause there will be a test later and so far no one has
passed it the first time." He grinned wickedly. "To start with, That is
Tony Anthony Scarpelli, he is a chef and the owner of the restaurant
that Sydney was taken from. That's not a comment on the food
either."
Tony laughed, "That's it, I am going to burn your fish tonight."
"You say that like its a new thing." Madison ducked the pine cone that came his way. Sydney Brookings is his partner and a substitute teacher when he isn't doing dishes or being kidnapped."
Sydney just waved a hand and grinned.
Madison continued, "Ohanko Kentwood is a our resident doctor, and an herbalist. If you have an ailment go to him, he can't help but at least he will know." Ohanko tossed a twig at Madison. "His partner is Jason Conrad, who is a Sign Language Interpreter for the school. Careful of what you say, Jas can also read lips."
Jason mouthed something at Madison and got a swat for it from Ohanko. "I read lips too cub." The half breed growled softly.
"Next we have Damalis Deopolous who is the head chef and local rich dude." Madison gestured with a small flourish. "Iggy Preston is his foster son and a junior in high school."
"Sophomore." Iggy corrected, "not a junior until next year."
"Opps sorry Igs." Madison smiled fondly at the boy. "And you have already met Quincy Stanton and Sabastion Newton, Quin is a consultant so he says, no one is really sure if he works at all." that got a good natured growl.
"And Tion is a computer geek."
"Computer god Madison. Now many times do I have to tell you, its computer god."
"Right a god, oh great and powerful computer nerd, have mercy on the poor mortals around you." Madison laughed as he half bowed.
"See if I come over next time you need something installed." Tion joked easily.
"Paul Scarpelli is Tony's brother, though you would never know it at the restaurant. Paul is the head dishwasher, manager and all around good guy." Madison said.
Paul blushed at the flattery.
"And last but not least is Dylan Knight, Paul's partner, Dyl is an EMT." Madison said. "Everyone, this is Bartholomew Tisdale, He wants to be called Mew. He is staying with me. He was the young man who helped out Sydney last night."
That was met with many thanks. The men all loved Sydney, he was their oldest brat.
"Lets get unloaded and then we can do some fishing." Tony suggested. The rest agreed.
Tony got a camp chair out of the van and took Sydney off to the side, he settled him down on the chair. "Stay here love." Tony said gently and kissed the top of Sydney's head.
"Not an invalid you know, I can help." Sydney muttered dejected at being made to stay still when everyone else did all the work.
"I never said you were an invalid baby. I just told you to stay here. Now stay." Tony growled a bit.
"Arf arf." Sydney barked at the stay command.
"Stick to purring kitten, its more your style." Ohanko quipped.
Sydney stuck his tongue out at the Indian.
"Behave." Came the order from his partner.
The vehicles were unloaded in short order. Sydney chafed at having to sit and not do anything but a warning look from Tony stopped him from getting up on three occasions. The teams of men were well matched. 12 men, 3 tents, two couples in each plus a screened in double wide protection from the bugs. Each tent had a divider that could be zipped in to make it into two separate rooms affording the occupants privacy if needed.
Tony and Sydney shared with Ohanko and Jason in case Sydney needed Ohanko for anything in the night. Damalis and Iggy were with Quincy and Tion and Madison and Mew bunked with Paul and Dylan. In each tent was at least one
novice and two experienced campers.
Once the tents were set up and the gear stowed lots were drawn to see who would cook that night and who would clean up. Since the reason for this trip was to get away from things and relax, as well as to get to know each
other better, the lots were individually drawn out of a hat. They were not couple based. That is how, for the first night, the cooking fell to Paul, Tony and Tion and the clean up was Ohanko, Damalis and Quincy. After that, the ones who cleaning up were then the cooks and Dylan, Iggy and Madison would clean up. Jason, Mew and Sydney were the last group.
Tony noticed that the last group were all brats but let it slide. Jason and Sydney were the elder brats in the group and Mew was so new he didn't think that there would be any problems. It didn't take long to put supper together the first night. Steaks and fried potatoes, corn on the cob and biscuits were on the menu. They all sat around the two picnic tables and laughed and talked and ate the wonderful food. Sydney tried to cut his steak
himself and ended up shooting his ear of corn across the table. It hit Mew's glass and knocked it over. Tea flew everywhere, mostly on Mew who jumped up an angry and shocked look on his face. There was a pause for that moment in time to see what the new one would do. Would he lash out? Would he explode? Madison started to rise but Quincy's hand on his arm restrained him. The group needed to know how he would handle himself.
Mew mopped the tea off his jeans and picked up the corn. "Thanks man, but next time just give me a heads up before you send it airmail." Mew sat down and placed the ear on his plate.
The men at the table exploded in laughter as everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Sydney blushed and grinned but got another ear of corn and Mew reached over and pulled Sydney's plate close A few deft movements and Sydney's steak was cut up for him. "There that should forestall any more flying vegetables. I didn't bring that many changes of clothing man." Sydney flushed with embarrassment again but the teasing wink made him smile and Iggy
laughed so hard he choked. Damalis pulled his arms up until the choking stopped then teased, "Maybe I should cut up your food for you little boy." He cuffed the lad affectionately.
Mew smiled as he watched the scene, a lump in his throat. He blinked away the tears and went back to his food. Tion saw the look on Mew's face and filed it away for later.
After supper. Madison drew Mew off from the others for a walk. He had the boy get a jacket and a flashlight and off they went. "Let's talk a bit" Madison said after several minutes of walking.
"Are you going to spank me again?" Mew asked suddenly.
"Yes I am." Madison said calmly no hint of anger or reproach.
"But why?? I didn't do anything and I have already been punished haven't I?" Mews eyes were bright with tears Madison looked at the boy for several minutes.
"What did I tell you last night and this morning?"
Mew sighted dramatically, "That I was going to be spanked every morning and every night"
"And why is that?"
"Because I made bad choices so I get spanked in the morning to remind me to make good choices during the day."
"Not punishment, reinforcement right?" Madison pushed the point.
"Yes sir, a reminder to my butt so my brain will engage first," Mew conceded.
"Good, and the evening spanking?
"Another reminder how to behave; that bad choices come with consequences, hard consequences."
Madison nodded, "Do you agree you made some pretty bad choices?"
"Yeah, I was pretty stupid."
"Tell me something honestly Mew, do you think I am too hard on you or being unfair? I want an honest answer."
Mew was silent for a long time then finally he said. "I wanted to say yes at first, but that would have been a lie. I won't say I liked the spanking last night o r the one today, because I didn't, I hated them. They hurt
a lot and made me cry like a baby but it made me feel better too. I knew I was wrong to stay with Nash, that he was a criminal and. And I even knew he had killed. I wanted to leave but it was just so easy to stay and turn a blind eye. And I kept saying that I could help and I did but not enough And, well, I just couldn't leave. It was easy money and excitement and I knew it was wrong that s why I said I would stay with you even knowing
nothing about you. I guess in a way that was another bad choice or it could have been 'cause you could have been even worse than he was yet. I knew you weren't bad 'cause you came to save your friend and when I looked up
at you, into your eyes, I don't know how to describe it. I just knew, no matter what, I could trust you. I have so much guilt over what I did. Who I was and what I tried to do. What I let happen. I need to be punished for everything. I know you spanked me for it but but I need to be punished for everything before I go on."
Madison let out a long breath "What makes you think you weren't last night?"
"You don't know everything I have done," Mew whispered softly.
Madison looked at the boy for a long time, "Bartholomew, I want you to listen to me very carefully. We all have sins of the past that we were never punished for. Things we are ashamed of. We have to learn to deal with that guilt. I know you feel you need more punishment but I am not going to punish you for the same offense over and over. I don't feel that is fair. Now there may be times when your punishment will take time to be completed; Grounding that takes a week or two or even a spanking that is continued after time in the corner. Last night we dealt with one part of a spanking for what you had done but I want you to be sure what the spanking is for.
So I am going to revise what I said."
"The guilt, the bad choices" Mew whispered his head snapped up. "Revise?"
Madison moved to the boy, he placed one had on his shoulder.
"Yes, I want you to write down everything you did that you feel you deserve to be punished for. EVERYTHING, I list first then elaborate on why each thing deserve s punishment and why you didn't get the punishment in the first place. This is going to take you some time to do so, for now, I want you to take an hour every evening before you get your evening spanking to work on this. When it's done we will talk about it. Okay?"
Mew nodded.
"I am proud of you for wanting to take responsibility for this." Madison pulled the boy into a tight hug. "I know its not easy to own up to your mistakes. That is why we are going to try to teach you."
"Thank you Madison." Mew whispered softly as he melted into the hug. It felt so good, so right.
As they walked back to the camp Madison noticed Mew's step seemed lighter. The boy seemed to be at peace with this decision. He hoped it was the right one. He didn't want to punish the boy for every little thing he had ever done wrong. But he understood the need to feel cleansed. He would have to think about how to deal with this while the boy was writing.
Back at the camp Tion, Jason and Iggy were tossing a ball back and forth, Dylan had his lap top out, pecking away while Quincy alternated between drying the dishes and looking over his shoulder. Sydney lay on the ground while Tony massaged his sore feet and Paul was engrossed in a book. Ohanko was washing the dishes and Damalis policed the area and helped Quincy dry.
A nice peaceful evening. The peace was broken a moment later when the site was privy to a colorful string of expletives that emanated from Iggy's mouth as he tackled Tion and began to pound him with his fists. Tion was caught shocked but hit back. Immediately Jason ran over and tried to pull Iggy off Tion but was not able to. Iggy was small but determined and Tion was not letting go as he hit back.
Ohanko, Damalis and Quincy hurried over to the combatants. Each one grabbed their respective charges and hauled them apart.
Jason was calm immediately but Tion and Iggy kept trying to get at each other. Damalis finally turned Iggy around and landed two hard swats on the boy's rump. Iggy stilled almost immediately. Quincy did the same to Tion who also stilled.
"WHAT was that all about Ignatius?" Damalis demanded .
"We were playing ball, you know, catch? But that fuckwad kept throwing the ball over my head ALL THE DAMN TIME!"
"LANGUAGE!" Damalis boomed as he swatted the boy again.
"Is this true Sabastion?" Quincy growled.
"Its not my fault he's a dwarf!" Tion snarled.
"SABASTION!" Quincy roared as Iggy lunged at Tion again. Damalis held Iggy back.
"And what about you Jason?" Ohanko asked firmly. " Were you tossing the ball over Iggy's head?"
"Yes Sir," Jason said resigned. "A few times."
"And is there a reason you three can't play together without fighting?" Damalis asked using that tone of voice that made Iggy's rump tingle in anticipation.
"They were doing it!" Iggy protested angrily about being in trouble when he felt he was innocent
"I see, so one of them forced you to swear like a sailor and made you attack Sabastion"
Iggy looked down, he hated it when Damalis used logic like that "No Sir." He muttered "But I wouldn't have done it if they hadn't provoked me!"
"Well if you were of a NORMAL size." Tion sneered.
Quincy swatted his partner again hard "THAT is enough!" he growled not at all pleased with the animosity between Tion and Iggy.
"Does that include me Tion?" Sydney said from where he and Tony were on the ground. "Does that mean that because I am bigger than normal its okay to pick on me too?"
"Of course not man. You're big but not huge."
"What about Tony? Are you going to call Tony names because he is oversize? Maybe giant or big foot or skyscraper" Sydney continued.
"Sydney that's different." Tion protested.
"No its not" Sydney asked firmly as he sat up "Iggy can no more help being a midget than Tony cam help being a giant."
"You're not picking on Iggy 'cause he is different." Quincy took up the thread of where Sydney was headed. "You're picking on him because he is smaller than you are. And because you, Sabastion, are a bully" Quincy looked
sad.
Tion flinched, it was true, Tion was not huge himself and had often been the but of teasing before his last growth spirit. The truth was he resented Iggy. Before he had came into the group, Tion had been the smallest. Tion looked at his feet, suddenly interested in them, a look of shame on his face. "Its true, I am a bully. Truth is. I was jealous cause now I am not the smallest one."
Quincy's heart melted at the anguish in his partners voice. He pulled him into a tight hug. "Its going to be okay. No you're not the smallest anymore but you are the only Sabastion we have. And that is pretty special."
"And why were you going along with this bullying?" Ohanko asked Jason who also was suddenly very interested in his feet.
"We were just playing Micante." Jason protested. "I know it wasn't very nice. We just got carried away. It was just a game of monkey in the middle." His voice was almost to soft to hear at the end. He didn't even sound convinced himself.
"I expected better of you little heart." Ohanko's words cut Jason to the quick.
"I'm sorry Iggy, that wasn't a very nice thing to do." Jason said louder.
Tion knew they were in trouble. That was a given. Jason's apology was sincere. Quincy gave Tion a nudge. "Don't you have something to say boy?"
"Sorry." Tion spat out. Quincy cuffed Tion in the back of the head. The disciplinary relationships they shared were not a secret in the group. It was one reason they all went camping and hung out together. Though it was not the only reason or even the main one.
"Gentlemen. I believe we have some work to do." Damalis said as he took a firmer hold on Iggy's arm.
Quincy and Ohanko nodded as they took their partners off. Before the camping trip there had been several discussions between the elder members of the group on discipline. No one liked to wait to deliver correction but no
one wanted to embarrass the younger men they loved. After several talks together and with their partners, it was decided to camp away from the others and hence a site up in the mountains and to ensure visual privacy if not aural privacy. The younger men felt better knowing that. unless it was something drastic, no one would see them get spanked, even if they could hear it. Each paring went to a different spot. Damalis and Iggy went behind
the tent they shared with Quincy and Tion while Quincy and Tion went in the tent. Ohanko and Jason went in the tent they shared with Tony and Sydney.
"Take them down." Damalis said as he sat on the stump behind the tent.
Iggy hated this part of being spanked. Well in truth he hated it all but this was really embarrassing. To have to take down his pants like a child and bend over Damalis' lap. But if he resisted the spanking could be much
worse. He had done so once and instead of a simple hand spanking he had ended up getting the belt. A situation he didn't want to repeat any time soon. Iggy unfastened his pants and slid both them and his Y fronts down to
his knees. Damalis quickly pulled the boy over his knees. He was very displeased with Iggy's actions but was not angry. "What is this spanking for?" he asked as he landed one hard swat on the white bottom over his knee.
"OUCH!" Iggy yelped, "For swearing and attacking Tion."
"No, this is just for the fighting. For swearing I am going to wash out your mouth with soap and stand you in a corner of the tent. What could you have done differently?" Damalis continued to land swats on the now pink bottom. His hand slapping the tender flesh sharply.
"YEOUCH, I could have OWWW stopped playing and talked OWWWW to you or Quincy" Iggy tried not to cry but Damalis was just too good at this. His bottom was on fire from the burning swats that peppered it.
Damalis tightened his hold on the boy and began to spank seriously. His hand covered every inch of Iggy's bottom with the swats three times before he stopped and let the boy sob. His hand rubbed Iggy's back gently. A few
moments later his arms were full of sobbing boy, Damalis hugged his young charge tightly. "I'm sorry" Iggy sobbed.
"I know Imp, its over now. Shhhh let it out." Damalis soothed the little boy. After a few more minutes of crying Iggy calmed down and pulled up his pants with an embarrassed sniff. Damalis ruffled Iggy's hair. "Lets go Iggy, you have a date with a bar of soap and a corner." Iggy made a face but went quietly.
In their tent Ohanko and Jason stopped to close the flap. "I know you're disappointed in me Micante. I am sorry for teasing Iggy. I know it was wrong."
"Yes and you will know that even more in a few minutes little heart. You have never been a bully and, my precious one, I will never allow you to become one. You hurt Iggy today with your actions." Ohanko sat on the floor
of the tent cross-legged.
"I know," Jason said softly as he lowered his pants then stepped out of them. He would not need them again any time soon. He lowered himself over Ohanko's knee and dropped his head. His bottom was up still a bit pink from
the spanking he had gotten the night before. The first swat stung. The second made Jason rethink the whole idea of teasing anyone. The third swat got a yelp of pain. From then on the spanking was short and brisk. Sharp,
crisp swats that sang to the soul of the young man as the emphasis to the rules was impressed firmly.
A dozen swats to the sit spot ended the spanking. And Jason found himself pulled into a bear hug by his mate. Soft words were spoken. The meaning of them clear, love and forgiveness. Ohanko rubbed the sting out of Jason's
bottom as he rocked him. Soft kisses covered Ohanko's neck and jaw as Jason tried to apologize without words. The doctor held his love close to him as he rocked. "Its all over little heart, all is forgiven." Ohanko tipped up Jason's chin and dropped a soft kiss on his lips.
The situation was a bit different in the other tent. Quincy propelled Tion into the tent and snapped his fingers. He pointed to a spot on the floor. Tion glared defiantly for a moment then obeyed. His relationship with Quincy was very loving but was more geared towards dominance and submission than the others. The chain Tion wore around his neck did not have a clasp and was too small to come off over his head. Tion loved his Master with all his heart. He loved the way he control led his life, the way he disciplined him when he was out of control. The way he made love to him like there was no tomorrow and, truth be told, even as scared as Tion was, he still adored the stern man before him. Tion remained on his knees before his Master for several minutes. He heard the sounds of the other two being spanked and winced. It was because of his stupidity and bigotry.
"Are you listening to that?" Quincy said as he unbuckled his belt. Tion nodded. "That is in part because of you. They made their own choices but would they have made them if you hadn't pulled this stupid stunt?"
Tion swallowed, he knew he was partly responsible for the pain they felt. Part but not all. " I beg forgiveness Master, I was wrong."
"Yes you were and you will pay for what you have done. You are mine, You belong to me and I will not have my property, my slave, act in such a deplorable manner. " Quincy was not going to let Tion have any comfort for this until after he was punished. He loved his slave more than life itself but knew his short comings. He wanted to teach this impetuous youth what was not acceptable no matter what it took. "Position."
Tion thought about disobeying. He could, he knew he could but he didn't want to. He deserved this for what he had done to Iggy. He was jealous and that was wrong. Tion removed his clothing quickly and knelt again. He bent his head to the floor and arched his ass up in the air. "I beg forgiveness Master. I was wrong to be jealous of a child. I know that now."
Quincy tried to be strict and stern but the quiver in Tion's voice just melted his resolve. He leaned down and caressed the back of Tion's head. "You are forgive n my little slave. You were, even before it happened. but there is a lesson to be learned." Quincy stood up again. "Six" he pronounced. And brought the belt down sharply on Tion's butt. The pain filled Tion even as he gasped out.
"One Master" was the gasping words. Tion, while not required to count during hand spankings unless told to do so, always had to count when it was the belt.
CRACK!!
"AHH TWO Master"
Swish THWACK!
"AEEE three Master please" Tion winced. He was not to beg during a belting. He had to take the punishment without begging off, he could cry and yell but not beg.
"That is a penalty" Quincy said and brought the belt down sharply on the same spot. He had been moving down a quarter of an inch for each one before.
Tion yelped out and repeated the count "Three Master."
The belt landed a quarter inch lower with a sharp crack
"ohhh four Master oowww"
The crack sounded again as the stinging burn filled his senses again.
"AEEE Five Master, Five"
Quincy wiped away a tear from his cheek, he hated to punish his boy but he had to learn. He tightened his hold on the belt and let the last stinging swat fly. It landed on right on the junction of the thighs and bottom.
Tion bucked but never broke position and yelled out "Six Master!!!"
Tion sobbed onto the floor as his butt burned from the stripes in the air. He was so sorry for what he had done. He was so sorry he had hurt Iggy. Quincy let him stay there on his knees with his burning striped bottom up
in the air for several minutes before he touched the crimson flesh. One gentle touch that had Tion up and in his arms before the caress was complete. Quincy hugged his little slave boy tightly then turned him over his knee. Tion winced but expected this. He know that he had done was wrong. That it was more than just a one shot spanking. The sharp spanking evened out the color in his bottom and reduced him to a sobbing child in moments. Quincy had a strong right arm and a hard hand. The spanking was sharp but brief. Just long enough to get his point across then again the boy was in a tight hug.
"My little slave, shhh is all right now little Sin." Quincy soothed the boy. "Tomorrow we will go out away from the group for a while. I think my slave has forgotten who loves him more than anything. I will remind you of
that."
Tion nodded eagerly. His arms around his Master tightly. His butt burned but he never felt more loved than he did after he had been punished and was in his Master's arms getting a tight hug. "Yes Master, yes remind me." And he kissed his Master and lover firmly on the lips.
When Mew and Madison came back to the campsite Iggy, Tion and Jason all stood with their noses to a different tree. Sniffles were loud and occasionally a gagging sound came from Iggy who had a mouth full of soap as well.
Madison got a note book out of his pack with a pen, he led Mew to the picnic table and got him settled with a soft caress to the back of his head. "Just be honest with yourself Mew. Just a list tonight, then you do the reasons later. "
Mew nodded, "Okay." And began to write.
Madison watched his charge then got a beer and went over to the fire. "What time are we going fishing tomorrow?" he asked the others already gathered there.
"I thought we could start early and catch breakfast for anyone who wants to." Tony suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Madison said with a smile.
An hour later the boys who had been in the corner were out and Mew was finished with his list. Madison had taken him in the tent for his evening spanking. "You were good today little boy, so no spanking. You made good choices today." Madison pulled mew into a hug. "Good choices are rewarded, just as bad ones are punished ."
Mew blushed, he never thought he would not get spanked at night. but was not about to argue over his good fortune. "Come on Mew, grab that case and lets join the others." Mew picked up the small wicker case and followed the older man out of the tent.
The evening was a success, the case held the makings for s'mores, something Madison said no camping trip should be without. Mew and the guys agreed. Even Sydney was allowed to have just one using his special diabetic chocolate and half a marshmallow. The men made it an early night. The stresses of the last couple days, the altitude and the sugar fix left the men sleepy and before too long had passed the fire was put out and everyone headed to bed.
The only sound on the sight 20 minutes later was the gentle and not
so gentle snores of the sleeping men.
To be continued in Saturday, Day Two of the Camping Trip
