This is a fictional story about a young adult who joins a Master's Swim team full of older men.

THE SWIM TEAM, PART VI - OLD FRIENDS
Dennis was petrified, frozen in place with nowhere to go and nothing to say. The only thing that moved was his dick, which shriveled up smaller than it ever had before. His eyes were locked on his father, but Bill's eyes were fixed on John. Dennis turned to the best of his ability and looked at the man whose dick was still throbbing inside him. "Hi Bill?" Dennis questioned. "How do you know my dad?"
"Your dad?" John replied, connecting the dots in his head. "Huh." He looked at Bill with a smirk on his face. "We're old friends."
"Enough," Bill interrupted, not returning John's smirk. He was not an intimidating man, but he wanted answers. "I demand to know what is going on here!"
"You've got eyes, Bill," John answered. "You can see what's going on here."
"Yes, but why is your dick in my son's ass?" Bill asked, still standing in the doorway where he had first witnessed the scene.
John pulled out and stepped to the side, his erection now pointing directly at Bill, pre-cum dripping off the end. Bill's eyes widened and he gulped. "Is that better?" John asked. "We were just having a little fun."
"A little fun? He's 20 years old for Christ's sake. You're fucking a child in a public place!"
"I'm not a child," Dennis finally said, standing up from his hunched over position. He grabbed his skimpy suit, using the little patch of fabric to cover as much of his exposed body from his dad as he could. "And what are you doing here anyway?"
John raised his eyebrows and waited for Bill to answer. "I'm . . . I . . ." Bill never saw himself as being great at the parenting thing. Confrontation was not something he looked forward to. And admitting his own mistakes or weaknesses was something he dreaded like the plague. He shut his eyes and sighed. "I came here to continue our chat from this morning. I didn't handle that well, and I wanted to see if you wanted to get lunch and talk some more." His moment of understanding over, he realized he was losing control of this situation. His anger at what he saw swelled back up in him. "But now I see you're just fucking around up here. Grab your things, Dennis. We're leaving."
"But I don't want to leave," Dennis replied.
"As long as you live under my roof, you'll do as I say. Let's go."
"Go, kid," John told him, giving up. "I'll see you around."
Dennis looked back and John. He could see the emptiness in his eyes. He had lost Jane, he had lost the only man he'd ever loved, and now he was losing the first thing he'd found in a long time that meant anything to him. It was all written on his face, and Dennis felt terrible about it. He grabbed his things from his locker, slipped on some shorts, and walked over to where his dad was standing. Dennis turned one last time to that bear of a man he was so enamored with. John's dick had fallen, the smirk was gone, and that twinkle in his eyes had faded. He stood there awkwardly-naked and alone.
Bill stared at John, too. He saw the broken man and knew how hurt he must be. For a second, he felt for him. But then he thought, he had only done this to himself. He turned away. "Come on, Dennis."
And just like that, it was was over. As quickly as it had started, just days before, it had now come unravelled. There would be no more pool, no more swim team, and no more John. Not if his dad had anything to say about it.
Dennis followed his father out of the locker room, along the side of the building, and down to a large, grey pickup truck. They got in and drove off. The ride was silent. Dennis could tell his dad was still fuming, but he didn't want to hear it. He found himself zoning out; staring out the window as everything turned to a blur around him. For all the joy the first week of summer had brought him, he could feel none of it now. He just felt empty inside, and not just because only moments before he had been so wonderfully full of John's cock. Instead, he was now missing something he had never known he needed. John had awoken something in him, and just like that, his father had taken it away.
They reached their house and Bill told him to get out. There would be no lunch. Dennis had ruined that. Instead, Bill told him to go inside. He had to get back to his job like a responsible adult; he had added extra emphasis on the `responsible.' Before he drove off, he rolled the window down and told Dennis that he didn't need to tell him he had better not go to that pool again. Dennis, of course, knew that. He didn't want to. Even if he did, there was no way that John would want to see him again. Not after that embarrassing scene. Instead, he walked inside and, without even cleaning the lube out of his ass, he fell on his bed. Curled up in a little ball, Dennis laid there feeling nothing. He laid there for what must have been hours before he finally drifted off to sleep.
************
Bill spent the entire afternoon replaying the scene in his head. He knew he had handled it poorly, just like he had breakfast, but there was part of him that didn't know how he could have done it any differently. He was shocked to find Dennis-his only son, his baby boy-in such a compromising situation. He supposed Dennis wasn't his baby boy anymore, but Bill had never really had that moment when he realized that. That is, until today. Once you've seen your son bent over with a man three times his age balls deep in his ass, it's hard to ever see him as that little, innocent child that once depended on you just to live. Those days were long gone.
And then there was the act itself. Bill had never suspected Dennis might have been interested in men. Had there been signs and he had missed them? No, there couldn't have been. Dennis had always been into girls. He'd even semi-dated their neighbor Patti for most of high school. And how, even if he liked guys, had he ended up with John? A man that, with his fat, hairy belly, was about as far from the dainty school girl type as could be. How did he even know John? It had been years since Bill had even seen the guy. How was it that their paths were crossing again now?
Bill wracked his brain. None of it made sense. And he had no clue what he was supposed to do next. Should he tell his wife Mary? He didn't think so. That would only raise more questions. It was probably better to keep this to himself. Should he talk to Dennis about it? That would be awkward, and after the scene he had put Dennis through at the pool, Dennis probably didn't even want to talk to him. Should he go see John? That was likely his best option if he wanted answers. Again, that was likely to be awkward, and he didn't want to stir up any bad blood that already existed between the two. He had likely made things worse already. But still, through it all, even though he had been seeing red the entire time, seeing John again had been nice. He always wondered what had happened to him. Where had life taken him? How was Jane? Was she even still alive? There was no end to the questions he had for him, but going there could only end badly.
Bill shook his head and returned his attention to his work.
It was 5 o'clock when Bill got off work. He still hadn't decided what he should do but, without realizing it, he found himself driving down the once familiar streets on the opposite side of town from his own house. The sun was setting, and it had been years, but the houses in the neighborhood stuck out as if it had only been yesterday. It wasn't long before he found himself pulling up to the quaint, little home at the end of the cul-de-sac. He parked on the street and looked up at the house. Nothing had changed. He got out and stood in the front yard, not sure if he should go any further. A light was on in the house. Through the window, he could see John sitting at the table, slowly picking through a TV dinner. The poor man looked depressed.
I can't do this, Bill thought. I should never have come in the first place. He turned to leave. As he reached the truck door, a voice called out to him.
"Bill?"
Bill looked up and saw John standing in the doorway. "Hi, John."
