Sally Browne heard the giggling from her brother's room and then the door opened. A tall slender brunette figure, hand to her mouth, ran to the stairs and pounded down them, all the while giggling and snorting.
Sally wandered over to her brothers room and tapped on the door frame,
"Sod Off, leave me alone!" came an anguished cry from within.
Sally hesitated and then walked in. Her brother Pete lay naked on his bed, face down, head in his hands, obviously crying and desolate.
Sally hadn't seen Pete naked in years, his body looked lean and muscular, his back lightly dusted in hair and tanned. His long legs were hard muscled, from years of regular running, football and all the other sports he played.
"Babe, what's wrong," Sally asked concerned and sat by his hip and rested her arm on his back. Pete sobbed and rocked on the bed. Sally ran her hand up and down his back and made soft shooshing noises to try to calm him. She heard steps and turning saw her mother at the door.
Brenda mouthed "What's up!"
Sally shrugged and carried on trying to quieten her brother. She placed her other hand on his arm and gripped it slightly feeling the muscle tension.
Brenda said quietly, "You okay? Need any help?"
Sally shook her head and turned back to Pete, slowly feeling him coming round. Brenda nodded and slipped away leaving her eldest in the care of her youngest.
Pete began to sniff and Sally passed him a tissue, he blew his nose and crumpled the tissue, holding on to it. He half turned and snuggled up to Sally, She swept his damp hair off his forehead and calmly stroked his head.
"Oh Sal, I am so sorry, I didn't want you to see me like this, I'm sorry", he sobbed again and pulled his head around to her lap.
Sally cuddled Pete as best she could. He began to calm down until he was breathing normally but hung on to Sally with his arms around her.
"So BB wanna tell me what happened, the lady left happy, but not you, trouble?"
"Sally it's over, she won't be back, like the others she just wanted to use me for laughs."
"OK Pete what's going on, you never seem to keep a girlfriend for long and you always end up way too hurt for my liking, what gives?"
"It's kind of embarrassing and complicated and you're my sister and I can't talk about it with you or Mum, or anyone for that matter."
Pete held Sally tighter.
"Pete, you have to talk to someone and I need to move or you're going to snap me in half."
Pete let go and Sally adjusted herself and hauled Pete's head onto her lap again. He keep his bottom facing down and was twisted awkwardly.
"Pete, turn on your side, I can't see what you're hiding anyway and unless you do turn, you'll do yourself a mischief."
"Can't!"
"Why ever not? Look I'll close my eyes if it worries you?"
"No, look, I need to talk to someone, so can I trust you, one, not to tell Mum, and two not to laugh."
"This is weird BB, but ok, I promise."
Pete sat up and faced Sally, his eyes went down to his lap, Sally's eyes followed and she stared at the smallest cock she'd ever seem, it was barely visible surrounded by his bush of pubic hair.
"Oh Pete, is this the problem," she smiled at her brother, then put her hands on his legs, "Pete it's not the size it's how you use it. Is that how it is when it's shrunk?"
Pete nodded and looked down at his manhood.
"Well then it must grow when you get excited, how big is it then?"
"About five inches, more or less."
"Well is it more or less?"
"Depends, but lately I can't get it up anyway, that's why Diane left, she tried her best, but it won't play ball."
Pete sniffed and two tears tracked his cheeks, Sally lifted her hands and cradled his head and wiped the tears away with her thumbs.
"BB, you are going to be fine, I know you're deeply hurt, but you will find someone who will love you and appreciate you for what you are. And that's not in some porno version of reality which says all girls like huge hamptons, all boys love extra large norks on their fantasy babe and everyone has sex five times a night." Sally paused and bent to kiss Pete's forehead.
"I can vouch for the fact that I don't want some huge rod inside me and nature hasn't blessed me with more than a couple of bee stings for boobs. You know what? I know there's some guy out there who's going to be nuts for me, so I'll just wait to see if we meet, other than that, I can't be arsed with some of the wankers who think they can impress me, I'll know who he is when it happens." She smiled at Pete then kissed him again. She hugged him and stood to leave.
"By the way that is the nicest looking cock I've ever seen, make sure you look after it."
She left Pete sitting on his bed half smiling.
Brenda heard Sally come down the stairs and peeped out the kitchen door,
"Trouble?"
"Some girl just blew him out and took the piss." Sally said, walking to the table and picking up a piece of carrot, she munched and reached for another piece.
"I'm trying to make your meal, find something else to chew, there's celery in the fridge, take some of that." Brenda said waving her knife in the fridges direction to make the point.
"OK Ma, keep your hair on, do you need help?"
"Well yes I do, but this is a novelty, you wanting to help prepare the meal, not just sit down and eat it, got a problem?"
"Not me Big Brother, Mum..."
"His penis perhaps? I knew this would happen, okay who was it this time?" Brenda scowled at her daughter and paused from chopping the carrots.
"Mum! I... how..."
"Sally, I'm his mother, I've seen him naked everyday since he was a baby, not so much now admittedly, but I knew it would be a problem for him eventually,"
"I'm staggered, you've known for years, but why didn't you say something to him, prepare him for this, he's absolutely devastated, suicidal in some respects, why haven't you said anything?"
"Don't you raise your voice and use that tone with me young lady, I've had eighteen years of trying to bring the pair of you up alone and I can't do everything and get it right everytime, perhaps if your Dad had been more involved and happy to help then it might have been different." Brenda blew a breath out and tried to calm down.
"Sorry, I was out of order, I've not been a Mum, so I guess I don't know right?"
"Oh Sally, don't ever grow up and be responsible, it's hell believe me, there's no let up and no relief. You spend twenty four hours a day worrying if you got things right. But on the plus side, you and Pete are the best things that I've ever had, just one smile is worth all the pain." Brenda sobbed and sat at the table her head in her hands.
"Oh Mum!"
Sally pulled a chair round and sat next to her mother. She held her tightly and pulled her head to her shoulder. Brenda put her arms round Sally and hugged her close. Sally felt her blouse soak up the tears and soothed her mother with little kisses and sighs.
Brenda calmed and sniffed back her tears, patting Sally she straightened up.
