Luca rubbed his cheek absently as they walked back. The cold made it sting worse, even though the rest of his body had gone bluish and numb. It was a desperate measure, but it had worked far better than he'd dared to hope. Not only had his erection finally admitted defeat, he'd somehow gotten back on comfortable ground with Thomas. And he wasn't going to pretend that slapping him hadn't made a small, hurting piece of his soul very happy. Pay-back might be a bitch, but it was satisfying as fuck.
As they came into view of the camp, Luca could make out a flurry of action. Something was poking at the annex roof from the inside, and sheets of water were cascading off the side and into puddles on the ground. Rivulets on the road were milky with road gravel, and all the trees dripped heavy drips around them. Some campers were making hurried modifications to their tents while the smug people in caravans looked on in wistful amusement. Other campers milled around in the sheltered barbecue areas and toilet blocks, hoping for a break in the rain to dash back to their camp. There were a few people that just walked around merrily getting soaked, like Thomas and him were doing. He was glad of that. It made them look slightly less mad.
"They're back," Luca heard Nim call as they got closer to the tent. He saw his mum poke her head out of the annex door and grin at them, her hair a catastrophe of golden curls now it had gotten wet.
"You're back!" she echoed. "Good, you can help us with this!" His mum ducked back inside the annex, and he could see more adjustments going on under the canvas roof. Luca glanced at Thomas, who dripped pitifully next to him. Luca shrugged as a way of saying 'well here we go then', and slid past the canvas door with Thomas close behind.
"It's flooded!" Nim seemed more excited than annoyed as she held onto a spare tent pole, currently poking a high spot into the sagging roof. She was standing in a puddle of water with bare feet and a grin, while her wet mattress slumped against the side of the caravan. Thomas' mattress was half piled on top of Luca's, but the side that had been closest to Nim's was clearly drenched. Well, that was unfortunate.
"I can see that!" he replied, and looked around just in time to take the end of a rope from his mum.
"Hook that around Nim's pole there Luc, and I'll attach it to the caravan. We'll tie it off to that end pole, and that should keep it from pooling too much," she bit her lip. "Hopefully." His mum grinned. "Otherwise, you might be going for a midnight swim!"
Luca made a loop in the middle of the rope before he passed the end of the rope to Thomas. Their cold fingers touched for a second before he turned back to his task. He would not blush at that. He would not. Damn.
He felt his cheeks warm, despite his resolve, and focussed as intensely as he could on tightening the loop around the top of the spare tent pole.
When they had finished, they were able to prevent the roof from dripping, but Luca and Thomas were still making their own puddles on the floor. His mum threw them their towels, salvaged from the line by Ma before the rain had come down, and left them in the annex to get changed.
Thomas threw him a quick glance before pointedly turning to face the wall to strip off his shirt. So that was how it was going to be.
Luca turned to face the opposite direction, his cold skin flushing with new shame. He wanted to look. He wanted to admire the play of muscles on Thomas' back as he dried himself off. But apparently that wasn't something they could do any more either.
Luca towelled himself down quickly, and wiggled his legs into his soft tracksuit pants. No underwear. It must all be still drying. Fantastic. He didn't want to think about what would happen if he were to get aroused in these pants, with no underwear elastic to hold his secrets close. It didn't bear thinking about.
He pulled a sweater over his head with a sigh, revelling in the warmth of fleece against his chilled skin. It was too short for his liking though. If he were to think of anything the least bit exciting tonight, there would be no hiding his embarrassment. He'd just have to avoid thinking about it. Easy.
Luca turned around to see Thomas bending at the waist, picking his wet clothes off the floor. His long sleeved shirt rode up as he bent, displaying that taut little 'v' of muscle above his arse. Luca turned back around and stared at the roof, desperately trying to think of something else. Thankfully, he was still too cold to get fully hard, but the deep seated ache of arousal that had been his steady companion for the past three weeks flared fiercely at the sight. He gave himself an exploratory grab through his pants, and found himself to be thickening again. He was sick of this. He just needed to get off. It shouldn't be so hard to find five minutes alone in a camp site.
It felt like sex was his first and last thought of every day. He couldn't go one minute without finding something mildly arousing. He couldn't walk past a secluded spot without thinking 'what about here?' If he were just quick enough, and quiet enough, could he finally bring himself past the point of no return? He couldn't even go on a carnival ride without almost creaming his pants in the most agonising way possible.
Luca squirmed a little, his cock stiffening again under his absent grip. Fuck. He couldn't even get half a minute's relief from his relentless horniness. In the minute and a half it took them to get changed, Luca had firmly made up his mind. With or without Thomas, he'd be making a trip to the laundry tonight. He couldn't take it any more. He needed to cum. He needed it now, no, yesterday, or even three weeks ago. But tonight would have to do. If he didn't get off tonight, he wasn't sure what he was going to do, but it wasn't going to be pretty.
Luca was erect again. Thomas could see him adjusting himself out of the corner of his eye. He tried his hardest not to notice, but he couldn't help it. His own body was starting to take notice too. If he hadn't been freezing, he was sure he'd have a hard-on you could limbo under. As it was, there was a tension at the base of his balls that would not go away. He couldn't ignore it. It was constant, and painful in its urgency. But he had to control it. He could not let his libido ruin his friendship, not matter how desperate he was.
Lucky tucked himself in as best as he could in the corner of his vision, and saw him grimace as he forced himself to let go. Not for the first time, he knew exactly how his friend felt. But there was nothing he could do. They'd both just have to wait it out until they got back home. One more week. His balls gave a harsh throb at the thought. One more week and he could finally cum. At this rate, Thomas wasn't sure he'd live to see it.
That slap had done the opposite of what he'd intended. His mind had immediately conjured up fantasies of being tied up and vulnerable before Luca, being spanked by Luca, being teased until he couldn't hold back any more. But it was just the lust. He needed to cum so bad that his mind was taking anything now, and making itself director of his own personal pornographic movies. Luca was the star of pretty much all of them, but his libido was getting more and more creative. He'd had to cut open the circular tube of sunscreen the other day, to get at the last little bit, and as soon as he'd dipped his finger into the hollow, creamy cylinder, his mind immediately suggested that he should have sex with it. His body had agreed in spectacular fashion, and he'd been hard for half an hour before he could settle himself down again.
But he only needed to last one more week. One more week and he could lock his door and take himself into his hand. He'd be exploding in under a minute. Without a doubt.
"Coming in for tea?" Luca was standing at the open doorway, hands in his jumper pockets, holding it out a little from his waist. Thomas coughed and nodded, subtly making sure his own reverie hadn't produced results. Luca stepped inside the caravan, and Thomas readjusted his semi, not daring to touch himself more than was absolutely necessary. It was embarrassing enough having an erection in front of his friend. He certainly didn't want to have a raging stiffie in front of his friend's sister and lesbian mums. That might be a little hard to explain.
