All characters in this story are over eighteen years old before any sexual acts are described.
It was the most unlikely of friendships. Karen and Kelvin both grew up in South Carolina. Most of the state is rural aside from the beaches. Neither fit in with the school mates for different reasons. What they did have in common was religious parents and a small country church. There were only about twenty-five active members of the charismatic congregation. Neither one of them was particularly interested in this type of religion but they didn't have a say due to parental and societal expectations. They were in the same Sunday School class. (There was only one class for all the children). At first, they had very little conversation with each other. As adolescents, neither was yet attracted to the opposite sex. However, since they were the only two in their age group, they eventually talked and became distant friends.
Karen was an only child of older parents. They called her their miracle child since she came along after they had given up hope for answered prayers. Her father was about six feet tall while her mother was 5'-1". In addition, her mom was overweight but not grossly so. She looked fatter than she actually was because her breasts were so large. The only fashions mom could wear without attracting too much attention were oversized shifts. Of course, Daddy loved Mommy and especially her handsome bust. As a pre-teen, Karen was quite chubby. Mom assumed that she would be overweight just like she was. It was a little surprising when just after her eleventh birthday, Karen began having breast buds which really bothered her. Mom assured her that it was normal for a young girl to experience some discomfort when she started puberty. It did seem a little young to her dad, but Mom explained that when nature is ready, things happen.
Kelvin on the other hand was a skinny kid from the start. He was undersized and underweight. He was an excellent student at his small school. The entire school was on one campus. K-12. There was, however, some separation in the buildings to provide a little segregation. Kelvin did have to endure teasing from the older boys about his size. When the few girls in his class began developing breasts, he along with the other boys noticed. Most of the boys followed the girls' puberty onset about two years after that on average. Kelvin was not average. He didn't have a growth spurt when most of his classmates started theirs. In fact, he didn't experience much of growth spurt until he was past sixteen. Even then it was very muted. His pre-pubescent penis was large enough but he didn't start to grow hair until much later. So, he would still be embarrassed if he had to shower after gym class.
Karen and Kelvin only saw each other at church functions. They lived on opposite ends of the county and went to separate small schools. Karen was also a very bright student which helped a little in her popularity but mostly with the teachers. The girls in her age group tried to be friendly but invariably began making jokes about her when her breasts started to grow sooner that the rest of them. Not that it was terribly noticeable since her mother dressed her in bulky, smock like dresses and tops. Her mom tried to buy her a training bra but it was hard to find one in a 42 band. Yes, she was quite chubby.
Karen had such low self-esteem that the onset of puberty was the only thing that she felt was exciting. She found herself a little more open with Kelvin at the church functions and he was slow to pick up on the warming relationship. Not that you would call it that yet. He mostly answered the questions that she asked without much embellishment. By the time they were thirteen, Karen's breasts were beginning to cause her even more embarrassment. She could no longer hide them under the blousy garments. Most of the girls at school were barely in training bras and Karen was already sporting a D cup. While not yet experiencing the full body re-alignment that she would eventually have, she was ashamed of her size in public. In private, however, she was growing to love her big growing breasts.
During this time, Kelvin was becoming more self-conscious about his own body. Karen was the only girl who ever talked to him and now, he had to divert his eyes to keep from staring at her increasingly larger breasts. He dreaded the thought of her telling his mother that he was looking at her too closely. Karen wondered why he suddenly would not even look into her eyes when they talked. Most girls her age would rather die than talk to a little pipsqueak like Kelvin but Karen did not have any such tendencies. Underneath it all, Karen was a very sweet girl. She did her chores without being asked and enjoyed time with her parents. Even though the only social outlets were school and church, she had a remarkable aptitude and paid attention to everything on television and in the classroom. Her parents did not watch mainstream television very much but her father did like to keep up with the news. So, if she was in the house with her father at news time, she not only watched but asked him questions.
The only problem her dad had with her increasing feminine developments was the thought that some immature boys would try to take advantage of her. It was not out of the realm of possibility. Many young girls who suffered from low self-esteem would inevitably gravitate to becoming sexual objects to take the place of real social relationships. Her mom continued to preach abstinence to her while telling her that when the time was right, sex was indeed a wonderful thing when done in accordance with biblical teachings.
Kelvin's parents were a little less supportive. His mom was a good homemaker but was a typical biblical wife herself. She allowed her husband to make all decisions. She thought this was being 'a godly wife' as she put it. His father was a hard worker but an absolute authoritarian. Deep down he was embarrassed that his son was so puny. Kelvin did not care for hunting and fishing like his dad did. When dad took him on occasion, he had trouble concentrating on the tasks and was likely to not even see a fish biting on a squirrel scampering. He really didn't like guns and certainly not killing things. He was more into his studies and computers. About that time Kelvin noticed some pubic hair growth even though it was quite sparse. What little hair he had on his face was not significant either, so there was no need to shave. His penis was however a bit of a surprise. It seemed to be much bigger. He occupied himself with masturbation almost every day. He didn't know whether that was normal or not. He didn't get in conversations with the other boys about such things.
Both finished high school early. Since neither participated in after school athletic activities, they had plenty of time to study. They went to the same college in South Carolina. Both stayed in the dorms the first year. Neither one of them liked it. They would have meals together quite often in the cafeteria. They did share some of their freshman classes so studying together was as natural as their lifelong friendship. Eventually Karen began to draw Kelvin out of his shell somewhat. When she asked him why he would not look her in the eyes, he stammered a babbling reply that took exception to the allegation. She knew he was nervous.
"I know, Kelvin. You are afraid you will look at my boobs."
"Uh, no, no, uh, I didn't even realize that I didn't look into your eyes."
"Oh, yeah? What color are my eyes?" She asked.
He looked into her eyes and then surely enough his attention was drawn to her enormous breasts.
