Dear Readers:
This is my first attempt at writing a gay male story. I am a 32-year-old straight woman who finds the idea of two men together just as hot as many straight men find two women together. I am sorry if I am not very good at this genre; not having had even the experience of watching it live, I can only imagine,
Love
Elenia
Beldine thundered down the lists toward me, his horse Goliath panting underneath him. He was truly quite impressive, I had to admit β he'd beaten everyone in the joust today and seemed well in line to be the reigning champion. His helmet glinted in the late afternoon sun, and he sat easily and well in the saddle. I felt my cock stiffen as I watched, and mentally scolded myself. That was for later.
CRASH! His lance hit the other man's shield. The other man only got a glancing blow in, and as Beldine rode by, I saw him totter and then crash to the ground. Beldine continued on toward me, slowing down, and I stood to catch Goliath's reins.
He lifted his visor to look down at me fondly. "Hey, little brother β how was that one?"
"Not bad, just a little sloppy."
"Sloppy?!" he said in mock indignation. "You wouldn't know sloppy if you were at the other end of the lance." I ignored the possible secondary meaning of this comment and answered, in my best sarcastic tone.
"That's what you get for calling me 'little'. I may be younger than you but I can kick your ass anytime." And this was true. I was a year younger than him, but about 40 pounds heavier and two inches taller. I took after my father, and thus was a big burly man β not fat, certainly, but muscular and often towered over people.
Beldine on the other hand was slimmer, though he had bulked up a bit training for the jousting match all this time. He was a little shorter and took more after his father β we weren't true brothers, but cousins. However neither of us had a real brother and we'd been raised in the same household since I was fifteen and he sixteen, so we were closer than many real siblings.
"Well, Beldine, it looks like you're done for the day, so shall we get you cleaned up?" I led Goliath back towards Beldine's tent, and stepped around to help him dismount.
"How do I get you to be this helpful and obedient other times, eh?" he said. Though he joked, I saw him wince as he put his hand on my shoulder and heavily jumped down. He'd taken quite a drubbing today. I had thought that jousting was kind of a joke sport, but I was impressed at how serious it was and how hard the lances hit.
As he returned to the tent, however, he let his hand brush gently against my cock, which jumped in my pants. Obviously he wasn't completely drained. I gave him a scolding look and ushered him inside.
"I'll start being obedient the day you stop being the favored son," I ribbed him back. He was, indeed the favored son β I had left home at an early age, and he was the responsible one, but I didn't mind. He made the choice I had never wanted to make, so he deserved the status. And he never lorded it over me.
I sat him down inside the tent. "Take your helmet off," I ordered, and with a half-smile he did so. I brought over a basin of water. Dipping a cup into it, I poured it over his head. He sighed in relief. I washed the bruise and felt him wince. "Gentle there, little brother." I looked up at him and smiled. "I'll do my best. But that's for later." He gave me a sly smile back, which quickly changed to a groan as I bandaged the injury.
"Being stuck inside that armor makes you feel like you've been canned. And that's not even mentioning the bruises."
"I saw that. And here I thought it would all be prancing and posing. Here, why don't you clean yourself up a bit and I'll go clean up your horse?"
I went out back and brushed down Goliath, who snorted at me fondly. I had volunteered to play the part of Beldine's squire; as he was not a true knight (yet), he hadn't got one and the young boys just didn't do as thorough of a job anyway.
The day of jousting was over, and I waited as Beldine and the other jousters made their pass in front of the king. He returned, and I again helped him down from the horse. I turned Goliath over to the stablemaster and walked with Beldine.
"So where's that pretty little girl of yours, Corvallion?"
