It was a bright Saturday morning. School had just let out for the winter break and every kid was anxious for the holidays. Even for those who didn't cherish the season for it's religious context, most kids savored the break for the sake of no classwork with perhaps only little projects to work on here and there. Robbie was like any other kid his age. At 10 years of age, the raccoon cub was anxious to spend the holidays playing video games with his friend.
However unfortunately for the boy, Robbie had been assigned a science project. His fifth year primary teacher had offered little direction. Simply explaining it as a "science project". Now Robbie was no star student, in fact he was quite average in terms of his grade level expectations. However his older friend Alex, was beginning to rub off on him. The older squirrel was tutoring the younger one in the ways of academic success and Robbie badly wanted to emulate Alex.
Now while neither was a science whiz, Robbie had taken this opportunity to prove himself to Alex. Especially since Alex was rather disappointed at Robbie's last report card. The cub believed with such vague instructions he could get to work on something that interested him. The boy was an athletic cub and despite being one of the shortest in class, he was very much into sports. His favorite being soccer.
Regardless of his own bias the boy was average at best and didn't much look forward to the season downtime that came with winter. Robbie decided his project would be something to improve his athleticism in the game. The boy knew of sports drinks as a way to re-hydrate after playing but what if they could also enhance stamina or even strength. He enlisted the help of his brother and decided that would be his goal.
A short trip to the store provided the pair with a stock of control substances. Gatorade and Powerade would serve as the basis for which they would work from. Alex decided he would simply monitor the youthful naivety from afar but offer assistance when needed. After all he didn't want any mischief to end up in the younger boy hurting himself. Figuring out the basic ingredients used in sports drinks was easy enough.
Both of the major companies readily supplied the materials on labels as per government regulations. The cub gathered that the main electrolytes of each of the beverages was providing additional energy to consumers to regenerate lost nutrients during exercise. Taking some notes on a small pad of paper, the boy wasn't really sure what to do with the information. Scratching his head he was at a loss for where to go next.
Alex calmly suggested some research to placate his sudden block. Robbie nodded before plopping himself on the computer chair. The device was already powered on and Robbie began browsing through some search results he found about the ingredients. Discovering that the main ingredient of both drinks was postassium, Robbie thought this would be a good place to start. Alex was looking over his shoulder before making a suggestion.
"Why not include calcium? After all milk does a body good, right?" Alex considered the cliché idiom about the product.
Robbie rubbed his head thinking to combine the ideas. Beginning to research some of the facts behind milk finding that it had enzymes prevalent in most lactose based products. Picking himself up from the station, Robbie felt more confident about his purpose. Going to his fridge, fortunately he found an unused carton of whole milk. Knowing he wouldn't need permission to use the stuff, the cub didn't consider how he might isolate his ingredients.
Thinking for a moment, he recalled seeing a show about such a process. Proceeding back to the computer, he found a suitable video and decided to use simple diffusion. It would only take a few hours at most and it was fairly easy to set up. Alex had an idea to set up the process, using burners to oscillate the proteins and enzymes from the milk. Robbie worked on filtering the Gatorade. Combining several bottles of the stuff into a blender he let it sit for a while.
After an hour or two the pairs work had been completed. The spinning of the blender had left much of the electrolytes on the edges of the plastic. After pouring the water down the sink, Robbie was left with only electrolytes. Alex on the other hand was left with a spattering of white residue down the glass medium he was using. Scraping it off with a spoon was simple enough. The whole process seemed simple enough though the two of them only had enough for mixing it once.
"Why not throw in one of your parents protein shakes?" Alex suggested with a shrug.
"That seems like a good idea...since we don't really have anything to put these in." Robbie ventured back to the fridge.
Raiding the fridge once more the cub searched for his fathers protein It was on the top and the boy found it hard to reach...
"Can you help me get one?" The cub said giving up after several tippy-toed attempts.
Alex pushed the younger boy aside. At 14 he was easily tall enough to reach the top shelf and easily dwarfed the smaller boy. Fetching out a small bottle of labeled Somatomax. It had a man flexing on it...so this had to be it. Alex teased the boy a bit hanging it over his head for a moment.
"Hey, no fair! I can't reach." The boy said jumping before finally achieving his prize once it was lowered.
All that was left now was combining the ingredients and testing it. They decided a both a pre-test and post-test was necessary. A single dose would be all that was necessary as they had not made enough for any more than that. The white whey and electrolytes were mixed with water before being combined into a larger container where they cock-tailed it together with the Somatomax.
"Alright let's go see what you can do, kiddo." The teen teased Robbie.
Robbie huffed a short puff of air before fuming off to gather the soccer ball. The two gathered by the door putting on their shoes to head outside. Fortunately it wasn't a very brisk day. The area outside the back of the cubs house was fairly open. Much of it was glistened with half melted snow that hadn't entirely dissipated. The teen pulled out his phone which he planned to use to time the younger boy. The raccoon began to stretch, readying himself for the activity.
"Let's see how fast you do 3 laps, then we'll compare after you drink the stuff." Alex instructed the boy.
The backyard was by no means large. It had a playset which Robbie hadn't used in a few years next to a tree which his tree house set on top of. The cub haunched over as the teen began to count down.
"5...4...3...2...1...Go!" The younger boy began to sprint, his tail swaying behind him in the wind.
The jacket he had chosen to wore hung loosely on his body flapping along as he strode. 30 seconds passed as the boy rounded his first lap. The second saw him a little more clumsy, tripping over a toy before picking himself up as it were nothing. This cost him time, rounding the second lap at 36 seconds. The final lap he made a sprint, wanting to beat his original time but fell short at 31 seconds.
"Not bad...1 minute and 37 seconds, especially with the slip up." The cub leaned over trying to catch his breath.
Now it was time to test their little drink. Alex goaded himself over in order to help the boy regain his composure. Handing him the small sports bottle, the cub willingly took it before popping open his maw. Spraying a quick stream down his mouth. The stuff was awful but Robbie managed to down a quarter of it before hacking.
"This is awful, bleh!" The raccoon stuck out his tongue in disgust.
"Come on...you gotta try to get down at least half now and half later. There isn't much." Alex said trying to encourage the boy more.
Robbie looked at the bottle again before festering up the courage to force himself a drink. The second round, didn't even meet his lips. He sprayed it down his gullet Forcing himself to shut his mouth before managing it swallow it. It certainly didn't make him feel more energetic....though a gentle tingling sensation was beginning to course through his young body. Placing the half full body down...he was eager for a second go at his lap.
"Ok....I did it...I'm ready." The cub said with a challenge returning to his crouch.
"3...2...1...Go!" The teen chimed once again as the boy sprouted around the course.
The first lap didn't seem that promising...the boy clocking in a little over 29 seconds. Careful with the second round he was able to clear without issue at 31 seconds. The final lap the raccoon again sprinted ending his parse as an even 30 seconds. It wasn't much of an improvement but still...it was something that gave the teen hope as he took down notes. The cub didn't seem as exasperated as before, surely the electrolytes had something to do with it.
"How did I do?" The cub inquired through panting and huffing.
Alex informed him of his progress which seemed to bring a smile to the boys face.
"We can do it once more to be sure, would you be game for a final go around?" Alex asked not wanting to overexert the boy.
"Do I have to drink it again?" Robbie seemed more worried about the taste of the drink than running around a third time.
"It would be best..." Alex calmly suggested before handing the bottle to the boy once again.
Robbie eyed it with disdain before grabbing the bottle once again. He knew he had to do it...he wanted a good grade on his project. Lifting the container again he tried to guzzle it in one go. Allowing his throat to take over, he swallowed sip after sip before finally emptying it and throwing it triumphantly on the floor. The strange tingling sensation becoming much more prominent in his body making him itch himself over his shoulder, but he decided to ignore the issue.
"Ready then, champ. Let's try it with the ball?" Alex wanted to encourage the boy.
Robbie playfully kicked the bottle away before getting into his starting position once again, this time with the ball.
"3...2...1...Go!" This time Alex imitated a BANG sound to be funny.
The raccoon rounded once again, his tail flailing behind him as he dashed through the wind. Even kicking the ball he managed to complete his first round at 28 seconds. This time the boy tried sprinting half way through his second heat. Making a record, 27 seconds as the boy passed the line for his final part of the marathon. Alex watched with a smile as the boy masterfully completed the final race. Alex rushed over to greet the boy once he stopped.
The boy was tired, he had truthfully put all his effort into the last event. He sat down on a bench trying to catch his breath, a bit mindful that his jacket was fitting much better than it had earlier. His feet too seemed to bother him, though he played it off from running so much. He wanted to go inside to relax and take off his shoes...badly. Alex overlooked the results before showing them to the cub, who simply smiled at the notes.
"Can we go inside? I wanna change...I'm all sweaty and stuff." Robbie huffed a little bit.
Alex nodded helping the younger boy up as they went back indoors. It seemed their project had worked and had led to some results. The teen couldn't help but think more testing was necessary, though this was certainly a place to start. Despite the activity, the cub maintained his place in front of the teen, darting towards his own room likely to take a shower. Alex simply dismissed him to allow his privacy.
Robbie flitted upstairs. He was eager to take a shower...and get the shoes off which seemed to be getting even more painful on his feet with each passing moment. Even his clothing seemed to be increasingly uncomfortable on him. The moment he entered into his room he began to strip. The tightness of the clothing rubbed against his sweaty body, which only further matted his fur. Moving over to his bead, the raccoon forced off his shoes with an eager sigh of relief.
Finding himself feeling obligated to rub his socked paws which were moist from the melted snow outside. It felt so much better to have them off. Only in his undies the raccoon sighed past his doorway where several marks were drawn. A mark clearly visible at his eye level, leading the boy to curiously gaze over. It seemed to be the most recent mark but he was no eye level with it. Hadn't his father just taken it a week ago?
Maybe it was one of those growth spurts he had heard so much about, he thought to himself. It would explain the tightness of his clothes, at least. Robbie shrugged it off as nothing, forgetting about the fact that the same clothing fit him well enough that same morning. The boy was eager to shower. He enjoyed the warm water on his fur especially since it was still chilly outside, even though it was beginning to warm up.
Turning on the water to to a heated temperature allowed for the room to steam up. The mirror's didn't take long to steam up giving Robbie a chance to remove his underwear. Even those he had to fight with trying to wrinkle down the briefs down his legs. Robbie entered the stall wasting no time in bathing himself. Like most boys his age, he was more interested in other things. Using very little soap and shampoo to cleanse his body. Spending all of 5 minutes invested in hygiene before turning the water.
Robbie felt he had deserved some video game time and he very much wanted to show Alex how good he'd gotten at Overwatch. Both of them enjoyed the game and the younger cub was sour about having lost last time. Feeling that he'd cleaned himself enough he turned off the spicket before popping out of the shower with a splash. The tile floor filled with water as his fur dripped over his young body.
Selecting a dry towel, he spent a few moments dabbing his fur of what water he could.
Robbie decided it could wait, no longer wanting to wait to play games. With naught but a towel covering him, he ventured back into his room. Looking inside he peered Alex sitting on his bed. The teen had a pair of socks pastured to his snout and seemed to be sniffing them. The cubs arrival caught Alex off guard making him rush to hide the item in his pocket.
"What were you doing?" Robbie inquired having halted by the opening of the bathroom door.
Alex had not revealed it but he had pent up feelings he'd been dealing with about the younger boy for some time. The teen was unsure how the boy would handle it if Alex had come clean, let alone understand the issue. Robbie was still trying to rack his mind with what he just saw, honestly he felt confused. Crossing by the same mark on the wall, he could have sworn it was now just below eye level.
"Nothing...don't worry about it. How're you feeling?" Alex tried changing the subject.
Robbie finally entered into the room, still only clothed in a towel and damp with water that was gently dripping off him onto the carpet. Making his way to his wardrobe, Robbie decided on a pair of boxers and a sleeping shirt that his older brother had given him. The item was far too big for him but would be comfortable enough for lazing about the house. Robbie didn't seem to mind Alex being present as he had changed in front of other boys during gym.
It didn't take him long to drop the towel to the floor, revealing his tight behind and relaxed tail gently swaying below him. The wagging even allowed Alex a few quick glimpses at the boys tight ball-sack from behind, making him try to swallow his nerves to calm himself. The large bed shirt was slid on his body still covering most of his form reaching just below the boys thighs. Bending over the cub sat down to put on his boxers, sliding them up legs.
Robbie was finding them to be rather a snug fit...it was time to confront the issue, he thought to himself.
"Hey, Alex?" The raccoon said sounding a little concerned.
"What's up?" Alex was just happy the sock had been forgotten.
"Do I look...bigger to you?" Robbie asked looking himself once over, just to be sure.
"That's a weird question to ask. Why?" Alex gazed over to the still sitting down cub.
"Because...none of my clothes fit anymore. Even my big stuff is tight on me." The raccoon added finally snapping up the boxers to his waist.
"Maybe, your just having a growth spurt?" Alex suggested to calm the boys nerves.
"I thought that too...but it just seems strange. All at once?"
"I mean normally it takes a while. Stand up and we'll measure you if you want." The squirrel knew the younger boy kept a height chart.
Robbie picked himself up off the floor, standing fully erect. Alex did the same to get off the bed before the both of them went to the side of the room with the markings.
"Stand up straight and no tippy-toes." The teen instructed the younger boy.
The raccoon did as he was told lining his body along the wall. Alex fetched a pencil allowing himself to create a straight line across the boys head. Then the squirrel moved the smaller cub aside to compare the markers. There was a clear difference in the marks. Using a ruler to judge just how much, the teen carefully measured between the two.
"How long ago was this mark?" Alex inquired.
"A week and a half ago." The raccoon had to adjust himself in the seat of his boxers as they were digging into him quite intensely.
"Wow...10cm in 10 days...that's insane." The teen stood in disbelief.
"Is that not normal?" Robbie felt naive and insecure.
"I mean I've heard of a few cm but 10...just wow...Did you stand on your tippy-toes?. Maybe I mis-measured you?" The squirrel tried to make sense of it.
"No?We can try again if you want..." Robbie made his way back to the wall.
The boy stood up near the markings on the wall a second time. This time before even attempting to redraw the marking, Alex stood back to closely examine the younger cubs stance. Clearly he was flat on his paws so the teen edged forward to make a comparison mark using the same utensil. Once again the cub was gently pushed to the side so the older one could re-examine it. The stare on his face was discerning.
"So...?" The boy asked as the squirrel continued to examine the last three markings.
The older boy looked back at the cub who was digging at his undies once again. The had become quite strained on his form, and truthfully he was quite eager to be rid of them.
"Your newest mark...is even higher than the last?" Alex questioned his own judgement for a moment.
"It is? Maybe you drew the line differently?" The raccon fidgeted a bit before shifting over to the bed.
The teen seemed to accept the answer for the moment, though it didn't change the overwhelming difference between the last two marks. The boy was too young for puberty and 10cm just seemed...unreal. Alex removed himself from the wall, thoughtfully scratching his chin.
Meanwhile Robbie couldn't wait anymore. The discomfort his undies were giving him was beyond unbearable. Plopping himself on the bed he wasted no time in stripping his lower portion. The teen gazing over curiously to observe his purpose.
"What're you doing Robbie?" Alex watched as the boy struggled to remove his undies.
"They're really tight...and uncomfortable." Removing them proved a struggle and took him several seconds finally to achieve semi-nudity.
Once he did the teen seemingly stopped in his track. His own breathing was rather sparse as his heart beat had increased while he was staring. Though he only caught a glimpse of the bottom of the boys sack, especially since his shirt only danged ever so slightly over his bulge. The formerly large shirt was much better fitting on him now.
"You alright, Alex?" The cub very much was self-conscious of the older ones gaze, covering himself in a meager attempt at modesty.
"I um...I'm alright...thanks." The squirrel attempted to avert his gaze to avoid further suspicion.
"You've been acting really strange today, are you sure?" Robbie often picked up on peculiarities.
The teen combated for a moment considering if he should clean. Maybe it was time...he thought to himself.
"You promise not get mad?" The teen spoke after a slight hesitation.
"Of course not, come on and sit and talk with me." The cub crossed his legs gesturing for Alex to join him on the bed.
The squirrel goaded himself on before garnering up the courage to walk across the room to join the younger boy. Flipping his tail up behind him, the teen gathered himself next to the smaller boy. Finding himself twiddling his fingers in his paws, pent up with anxiety over the looming discussion.
"So...I like you a lot, Robbie." Alex forced himself to look down at his own knees.
"And?I like you too." The younger cub responded with a smile.
"Well...let's say I like you more than as a friend." The squirrel muttered under a slightly muted tone.
"You do? Like my mom and dad?" The boy looked over at Alex with childlike curiosity.
"Sorta like that...yeah." The teen began to snake over his paw searching for the cubs own before squeezing it tightly.
"Oh...that's ok, I guess..." Truthfully the boy didn't understand what it mean.
Alex looked over with a quirky grin to his face catching the cubs eyes in his own. His grip was rather firm but not too intense as to induce discomfort. The squirrels gaze turned over to the younger boys before the two met in a soft stare. The squirrel closed his eyes but for a moment before leaning over. As he neared closer the younger boy became increasingly uncertain of the older ones intentions.
The teens nerves were getting to him, his stomach was aflutter with butter flies. But a second later his lips finally met the younger ones cheek. Unflinching but for a moment before breaking. A flushed red fuse taking over the twos persona replacing uncertainty with embarrassment. The teen returning to his upright position seeming a bit more reserved than before.
"Sorry...I shouldn't have done that." Alex showed some post moment regret.
The cub sensing his awkwardness edged in to wrap the older boy in his arms. Embracing him in a tight hug which warmed the Squirrels hearts. The cub even leaning in to poke his snout in nuzzling the older teens chest, ruffling the fabric of his shirt. The teens own scent was a bit stronger than the younger raccoon's. Alex overextending his welcome extending the same hugging gesture to the cub. Their hug remained unbroken for a few moments.
The squirrel was ably to comfortably rest his head on top of the smaller boys headfur. The two creating some friction despite little movement happening. The teen was becoming inexorably comfortable with the position before the cub finally broke the embrace looking up at Alex with a smile.
"Don't worry, buddy." The cub childishly shrugged it off as no big deal.
Though in truth the boy didn't fully understand. Opening his eyes, Alex could just see the top of Robbie's head now. Perhaps it was the way the boy was sitting, looking him once over the teen seemed to notice the much more fine fitting shirt. Even catching a glimpse of the bottom of the boys ballsack and upper portion of his sheath, which was only but half covered. It made the teen even more nervous.
"Um...Robbie, your bits are showing." Alex was nervous to say the "real" word.
"My bits?" The cub innocently inquired.
The teen pointed downward towards the cubs boyhood which was poking just below the hem of the shirt.
"Oh...sorry...I thought this shirt was bigger on me though?" The boy extended his arms down before trying to force the shirt back down.
It was becoming more apparent to both of them, the problem at hand was not the size of the clothing. It was the size of the boy...It seemed he was getting bigger. As the teen considered the notion in his mind, it didn't make sense. But all of the evidence seemed to add up.
"Um...Robbie...I think your getting bigger..." Alex stuttered over his words.
"Bigger?" The boy scratched is head thinking about it a moment.
"I think so...I mean think about it...the height chart...the clothing...it all adds up." The teen sized him up next to the smaller boy.
Even sitting down he seemed....bigger than the squirrel remembered.
"I guess that would explain the soreness in my muscles and stuff." The cub didn't even mention that his joints were causing him pain as well.
"Why didn't you tell me you were sore?" The older boy asked.
"I dunno, I guess it didn't bother me much." In truth the cub had willingly chosen to ignore the symptoms.
The teen forgot the real issue at hand moving himself behind the younger boy, positioning his legs around the raccoon. Robbie's tail pushed over Alex's own leg. The teen began massaging the boy from behind. The tension reducing from the cubs muscles, though his innate tingling sensation continued to throb throughout his body. The cub closed his eyes allowing the older boy to work into his muscles. Slowly but surely he was beginning to relax.
Bending over the teen allowed himself to kiss the cub on the head from behind. Gently the teen began to try to coax the younger boy to relax into his larger body. Eventually the boy allowed himself to fall back, his full weight pressing against the teen as both of them edged backward together flat onto the bed. Alex allowed his paws to coast over the front of the shirt of the cub before slowly lowering himself down the stomach of the raccoon.
With the boy on top of him, the teen could feel his arousal beginning to grow out of his sheath. Secretly hoping the boy wouldn't notice as he was still unsure of himself. The weight of the boy pushing into the teen causing a slight struggle trying to maintain his position without discomfort. Fidgeting for a moment he managed to find a sweet spot. Continuing to stretch lower the teen found his paw resting against the crotch of the younger boy.
Alex could feel his heartbeat, not quite moving finding easy access since the shirt no longer covered it. Cupping it for a moment with his hand, the teen began rubbing against it. Robbie didn't seem to mind much, simply opening his legs adjusting to the new feelings he was experiencing.
"Mmmm..." The cub softly cooed.
The teen's own cock continued to push itself into the small of the cubs back, grinding into the boys fur. Alex becoming more confident, allowing himself to fully encompass his paw around the shaft beginning to pump ever so slightly. The younger boy's right leg fidgeting on top of Alex's body. The teen began gingerly at first, the boys own arousal picking up rather quickly filling up into the squirrels paw.
Using only his thumb, Alex began threading his fur over the length of Robbie's shaft. With each touch, the member twitched and throbbed. A pulsating heat beginning to build in the boys lower portion as his pleasure increased. The teen himself was already leaking pre-cum, however fortunately for him he hadn't yet been discovered by the raccoon. The teen continued pawing off the younger boy until moments later, several pulsations were reached as the boys cock shuddered.
His breathing having slowed down while his heart rate hat picked up, Alex assumed he had just had his first dry-orgasm. The smaller cock continued to spasm. The boys obvious enjoyment sending the teen over the edge finally allowing himself to jet out a single small stream of adolescent spunk against the fur on Robbie's back. The two sat motionless trying to catch their breath before the awkward silence was finally broken.
"Wow....that felt good." Robbie stuttered among scattered panting.
"Yeah..." The teen couldn't believe he had just gone through with it, though he certainly didn't seem to regret it.
The cub was overly tired, unable to explain why. His body giving into his sudden fit of exhaustion. Once again leaning back into the older boy before yawning. Falling into a light sleep, Alex finally allowed himself to relax. His palm still lightly pressing against the boys crotch. Managing to allow himself to drift into dreamland, the two cuddled on top of each other in a soft embrace. It had been a long day and the two had found new meaning in their relationship.
To be continued....?
