1:45 pm -- 3:00 pm Extracurricular Activity -- Drama Club, Mr. Benson
A little nervous, Alex enters the Room of his Drama Class. He had been hesitant to join it in the first place - the idea of being on stage, performing in front of an audience gave him more than a little anxiety. His mother had encouraged him though, and as usual, her plans for him turned into reality.
The choice of the play in which he would have his stage première seemed innocent enough -- Juliet & Romeo by Anne Hathaway. (Or William Shakespeare, her long term male ward if you believe the weird conspiracy theories. Alex doesn't - he never believed for a second that a man, five years younger than her, clearly in a naturally submissive position, could ever write such a beautiful piece of art.)
He was glad he wasn't cast in the main male role, Romeo, who is picked by Juliet as her plaything, leading to all kinds of humorous shenanigans in this most famous relationship comedy in history. The part of Romeo requires quite a lot of on-stage nudity and making out, so yeah - let that go to an older boy with more confidence.
The part of Mercutio, though, that Alex was given, is not without its moments of revelation either. Obviously -- art imitates life and life for men means servitude and public submission. Two scenes in particular, the betrayal scene, in which Mercutio, disguised as Romeo lays with the head of Juliet's familial group to appease the mature woman - and by laid, the play means being buggered in the ass by a large strap on, which Mr. Benson insisted they did NOT fake. Artistic integrity!
When Alex's mother heard about that requirements, she thankfully helped the boy train his at that time still inexperienced sphincter, so the rehearsals so far have gone surprisingly well.
And then of course Mercutio's second big scene, in act five - the betrayal coming to its logical conclusion by the traditional punishment for men committing an act of aggression or treachery to achieve intercourse with a female at the time of the play: public castration. Thank Goddess time have changed and insolent males - the very few that there are -- are being sent to retraining facilities nowadays rather than suffer corporal punishment.
Alex has watched a couple of performances of the play online by now - the scene was the comedic highlight of every performance, female laughter accompanied it every time. Today is the day they'd rehearse this scene for the first time. The reason for Alex nervousness.
Mr. Benson pats his ass encouragingly.
"No worries, Alex, it's a classic piece of literature, everyone knows that scene. Mercutio naked is a perfectly normal sight on every stage on the world. No need to be nervous!"
He smiles warmly and Alex nods, feeling a little -- not much -- encouraged and walks behind the stage, where he undresses fully. At least he doesn't have to wear the stuffy uncomfortable costume - the cape and the weird hat and the codpiece - for this scene. The stage hands tie him to the rack and roll him onto the stage.
The other main actors are already there, the women who play Juliette and her family head in the usual form hugging pseudo historical costumes, Romeo -- a boy almost a year older than Alex - tied to a similar rack. Alex can't help staring at his cock, as always when the older boy he is naked on stage.
Romeo is a lot more confident about it than Alex, partly due to his age and stage experience, partly, also, Alex thinks, due to his notably larger cock. It must be about 20 centimetres while his own - no matter how often he measures it - never reaches 15. Not even 13, to be honest. His mother calls it cute, assures him that many women in the modern society really don't care for big cocks, as not so well endowed men tend to be more docile and humble. Alex believes her - and can confirm it from experience with the women he was used by so far -- but still... the 20 centimetres were definitely a factor in casting Romeo, the main actor usually is a the best endowed male on stage.
"Alright, from the top!"
Mr. Benson starts the rehearsal.
"Dear guardian, do show mercy upon my Romeo. 't was just a male folly, foolish longing to be near his mistress that he came not to your chamber as you called but sent this wretched brute!"
"Juliet, child, you know the harm for lying to a woman in her sacred bedding chamber!"
"Lie he did not to, nor lay with you, just so Mercutio did. Punish him, he's only some man among so many, Romeo I wish to own for play!"
The student playing the mother sighs dramatically.
"You hang onto your plaything Romeo too much, my dear. By right and justice I should not oblige to such a youthful fancy!"
Her head turns to Romeo's cock which springs to life. Alex is a bit envious - but also glad he is not playing him. Nervous as he is, he is quite sure he would not not have managed an erection on queue.
"But I agree, 't would be a shame. Well then, we two will introduce your Romeo to the family later on to use his solid rod. But that one there did lie, undoubtedly and shall lose what was used on me so treacherously."
She points at Alex, who almost forgets to act, fascinated by the play, but he recovers just in time.
