Randy got home on Saturday and I got home on Sunday. From college. My first year, his second. We lived at opposite ends of the house on the second floor. Mom and dad on the first floor. I had stairs up and down. He had stairs up and down. I had a bathroom. He had a bathroom. I had a big bedroom. He had a big bedroom. We weren't disparaging at each other, we were great friends and chattered away all the time when we were near each other. I helped him and he helped me. Mom and dad were careful about teaching us to maintain our privacy while forging solid family values.
There was a time I thought he was looking at my bedroom while I was at the gym one week so one day I left him milk and cookies. He took one big bite out of the cookie and that was all. We never mentioned it again. He got caught and took it like a man. I always respected him for that. I always wondered what he was interested in. I never found anything disturbed. I've never looked through his bedroom. Honest. I haven't.
Randy helped me bring my stuff in and store everything else in the garage to take back at the end of the summer. He was slow in and out of my bedroom. He was looking around without moving his head that much. I smiled but didn't let him see me. I was mostly finished unpacking and getting back to normal. I had a wash in and needed to put everything in the dryer. Randy came by to see if I had anything to take down. I said no but could he switch my wash to the dryer. He said sure and went on down.
After he left I quick changed and went down to see if he could wash my stuff with his. You can easily see the washer and dryer from the top of the stairs to the basement. When I looked down I froze and stepped back around the door frame. Randy was taking his clothes off and putting them in the washer. I got an eye around the edge of the door and watched. Randy always either wore thick cargo pants in the winter or thick short cargo pants down to the knees in the summer and some kind of top. Always.
He had his top off and was taking off his pants, the short kind. He emptied the pockets and threw his shorts in the washer and turned back this way. He had on a jockstrap and stripped it down his legs and off. A large part of his body fell out and flailed around like a fireman's hose. He turned around and put the jockstrap in the washer and started getting dressed in fresh clothes. I was stunned. I had no idea. Randy was seriously hung. I could see it hanging down between his legs when his back was to me. It wasn't thin either. Nobody ever said anything about it all this time.
My brother had a world class dick. No wonder he wore thick cargo pants all the time. I've seen his pants bulge a little now and then but never imagined. He obviously wore a jockstrap full time to hide it. He didn't go in for sports all that much, probably so he wouldn't have to shower with a lot of guys around. It would get around very quickly and I would have heard about it. He had girlfriends but they never lasted that long. He probably wouldn't let them get that personal so they didn't last. He protected himself. He's probably a virgin. Poor thing. I wondered if mom knew.
I absolutely know how big dad is, flat and blown up. Nineteen years in the same house. He is absolutely world average. Not long. Not big. Mom is happy. So where does Randy get it from. I don't know anybody in the family like that and haven't heard any family gossip. I was really going to have to guard myself or he would realize I know. It only takes a few noticed glances and that would be it. He would be crushed and embarrassed. As long as he was stuffed in his jockstrap he probably felt safe. I can't image the horror he goes through when he starts to get excited. He usually wore extra-large and extra-long shirts and t-shirts. Long ski or dress coats too. That's why. They would hide him.
Randy stopped by in the hall and said, "Don't forget dinner out with mom and dad. Marvins."
"Ok," I said. "Thanks. I'm going to fold my clothes later. I'll switch yours to the dryer."
He was already going down the hall and I heard him say 'ok, thanks'. We never worried about each other handling our clothes when washing. He could handle my undies and bras and I could handle his stuff. I always wondered why he wore jockstraps. Sometimes I sniff his for fun and I guess he sniffs mine for the same reason. It's why I let him handle my laundry.
We went out to Marvins and sat in this roundish type booth. I was on the outside and randy was next and mom next and dad across from me. Every now and then I put my hand on Randy's thigh and let it linger there. I caught him turn a little and look at me a couple of times but he let me and ignored it. I ignored me doing it too but it made a sort of small statement. I let my fingertips drop a little over inside but they were thick cargo pants and I didn't get to feel his leg all that much but I think he liked it a little. It was a nice time.
Three days later mom and I were alone at home and catching up on the latest stuff.
"Mom," I said. "I don't quite know how to bring this up but... no, let me try again. Look, there's something about Randy we might..." I looked off. Mom waited so I got it together and started again. "I happen to see Randy strip and put his stuff in the washer when I got home. I was at the top of the stairs. He didn't see me or know I was there. He was so large in the man department I was shocked. When I say big I mean stunning big. And long. When he turned he flopped around like a fireman's hose. I was just wondering if you knew."
"No," she said. "I didn't know. Are you sure? Maybe he's just a good size. Are you sure?"
"Half the women in this town would climb out of bed and run," I said. "He's not gross but he is past large and bumping up against huge and he wasn't even ready. He doesn't take after dad. Where does he get it?"
"How do you know anything about your dad?"
"Mom," I said. "Nineteen years."
Mom gave me a lips together head wobble. She said, "No, he doesn't take after your dad. He probably takes after my grandfather on my father's side. He was rumored to be side show size. Traits skip generations a lot. DNA mixture kind of thing. Something triggers some changes in body makeup. Heather, don't underestimate your dad too much. He's quite adequate and he knows how to wield his sword. You and Randy are proof of that."
Wow. Mom sure set me straight there. I got this big smile and started giggling. She did too. It got to be a thing between us, made us closer. I explained about the clothes and all and it made a lot of sense to her. She started understanding what was going on with randy and some of the things she remembered over the years.
"I've never heard any gossip about it and it's his personal business but I think he's probably still a virgin," I said. "I think it's important not to let him know we know. Not to stare at him or any indication at all. He'll figure it out. I might try and get a little closer to him as a friend or sister so he has someone to talk to but he might not let me. Anyway I thought if we were aware and it got to be known we wouldn't show too much shock and make it worse."
"Yes," she said. "That sounds good. Quiet support from the family if needed. Let me know if I can help. I'm not going to say anything to Harv. Thanks Heather. Randy's level headed. He'll be fine."
