- MARTY'S UNDERWEAR by Zipper Bird
-
- "Come here a minute you," he said, motioning frantically for me
- to come to him. I remember the look of excitement in Marty's eyes
- as he called me over, grinning, as if he'd discovered something
- spectacular, like a giant golden nugget shining at the bottom of
- a stream. I was fourteen, a high school freshman, and in Marty's
- gym class. He was my gym teacher, fresh out of college, and there
- was something about him that made me want to make him like me
- from the first day of class. I didn't know what it was at first.
- I just liked everything about him, from his handsome face to his
- rich masculine voice. He moved with the grace of a cat and just
- watching him walk across the gym stirred me with an inchoate
- longing. After a month of basketball in gym class -- where I was
- invariably one of the last picked when teams were chosen, and
- spent the class on the sidelines talking about things like the H-
- bomb with the brighter and less coordinated kids in the class --
- it was my chance to get Marty's attention.
-
- I stood in front of him, in my basketball sneakers and regulation
- gym clothes, panting and sweating, my slender body bent over
- gasping for air from having just run four times around the track,
- a mile in all, in four minutes, thirty-eight seconds. Marty stood
- staring at his stop watch and then held it to his ear, clicking
- the start/stop button several times to make sure it was working.
- Most of the class was well over a lap behind me, including a few
- basketball jocks who had jeered me the week before for not having
- come near the ball when I finally did make it on the court to
- play.
-
- "What's your name?" Marty asked me, as if it were of vital
- importance. "Larry, but my friends call me Lightning -- Light for
- short" I said, just beginning to catch my breath. "Light, as in
- faster-than-the-speed-of," he said, confirming the nickname I got
- in the neighborhood for being able to outrun everybody, and the
- fact that I ran everywhere, even to the store. "Come here Light"
- Marty said, as he stepped up to me and hugged my body to his, the
- side of my face crushing against the metal whistle that hung on a
- silver chain around his strong neck. He rubbed my hair
- vigorously, like I was a fox terrier. I hated when my relatives
- did that but it was different when Marty did it. I smelled his
- body, as my nose brushed against the black hair on his chest
- which ran high up and shown at the open neck of his shirt. "I'm
- going to make a star out of you," he said.
-
- In Junior High, my parents didn't let me join the track team
- because they said my metabolism was too high and that I wasn't
- eating enough to compensate for it. If I burned off any more
- calories by running track, they said, I'd weigh a hundred pounds
- when I graduated from high school. But, they let me join the
- cross-country team in high school after I pleaded, and Marty
- talked to my father on the phone. On the four days of the week I
- trained, I did a lot less running around the neighborhood and I
- began to put on some weight during an adolescent growth spurt
- that added several inches and pounds to my then 5'4" ninety-five
- pound frame.
-
- There were only five guys on the high school cross-country team.
- In after-school practice, Marty ran along with us -- he'd been a
- miler in college but told us he wasn't built for it, and had
- never been very good. His legs were too muscular, he said. I
- thought his legs and his whole muscular body were beautiful.
- Maybe he didn't have an ideal "runner's body" but to me, it was
- an ideal body for a man. He showered with us after work-outs and
- seemed self-conscious, but a little proud too, of being so hairy.
- Even before I saw him in the shower for the first time, I
- remember finding his crotch alluring, the way it strained at the
- fabric of his shorts. It was an area of drama and mystery at the
- top of two strong, hairy legs. In the shower, I noticed that it
- was his balls that were unusually large, which accounted for its
- bulky appearance in his shorts. His dick was of moderate
- proportion. What I liked most was the thick bush of public hair
- that ran right up his chest. My own hair was just starting to
- come in, and I prayed that I'd grow a quarter of what Marty had.
- I had daydreams about Marty in his gym shorts, walking up to me,
- letting me feel his legs and bury my face in his crotch.
-
- There was a marked contrast in his personality during cross-
- country practice compared with the way he acted in gym class. He
- was much quieter on our runs, preferring to enjoy the scenery, as
- he ran along with us, or give a few individually tailored
- pointers on running style, and sometimes he talked about running
- in a philosophical sense -- how it related to life. Gym class
- required that he maintain discipline by adopting a military
- demeanor, but you could tell he wasn't the kind of rigid person
- that gets off on giving orders, and was doing it because the
- other teachers probably told him it was the only way a teacher in
- his first year could act, unless he wanted to be cannibalized by
- the students. After a few months I got to know him well enough to
- tease him a little about his drill sergeant act in gym class, not
- in front of other students of course. He took my jibes well.
- Sometimes it was only a fleeting exchange of glances between us,
- an understanding that people who are close to each other develop
- after a while, but I could tell he liked me and understood me,
- even if I didn't understand myself at the time.
-
- Since there were only five guys on the cross-country team, Marty
- drove us to out-of-town meets in his own car, an old '63 Pontiac
- GTO. I always sat in front next to Marty, on the hump, because I
- was the smallest, but I really liked sitting there just to be
- next to him. The sight of his hairy muscular arms on the steering
- wheel gave me a sense of security. When we went around curves,
- our sides and legs would often touch. This physical contact,
- which he probably didn't even notice, was kindling the fires of a
- passion like I've never known since. By my sophomore, I started
- jerking off regularly and the only person I could think of was
- Marty. He was driving me insane and if I hadn't had running to
- keep my emotions leveled out, I probably would have killed myself
- or gone mad.
-
- Marty was married. His wife came to some of the local meets,
- always carrying a book with her to read. She wore thick glasses
- and looked intellectual. She was an odd wife for a gym teacher,
- but Marty wasn't your average gym teacher. He probably picked her
- because she had brains.
-
- In my junior year, the State finals were held in Fredonia, a
- small town to the south of Buffalo. I was the only guy from
- Vestal to qualify and Marty called my parents about driving me to
- Fredonia, and spending a night over in a hotel since the 5 hour
- drive back to Vestal would be too much to repeat in one day. My
- father liked Marty a lot, and thought he was a good influence on
- me. He used to say, "Marty is a real man's man."
-
- I didn't fulfill the early promise I showed of becoming a star
- marathoner. For one thing, I didn't have the drive to push myself
- to extremes in training. Marty could see this. I enjoyed running
- and Marty was instrumental in teaching me the ethic of running
- for fitness, both mental and physical, not just to win. When I
- crossed the course finish line in 6th place at the State finals
- in Fredonia, Marty put his arm around my shoulder and said
- "Light, you did just fine, now lets go eat." I wonder if he knew
- then, that his wisdom about not pushing me too early would one
- day pay off. Three years later, I had another 6th place finish,
- in the Boston Marathon.
-
- After taking a shower at the hosting high school, Marty drove us
- to a diner. "You'll never guess what I majored in, at first, in
- college," he said as he raised a fork full of salad to his open
- mouth, showing his white, straight teeth. I assumed that he'd
- gone to college majoring in phys ed and I couldn't even guess at
- anything else. "Philosophy!" he said, laughing, "but then I
- switched to phys ed." He related the personal story of his
- transmogrification from budding philosopher to jock, and then
- sighed, and stared into space as he said something about having
- become a philosophical athlete anyway, and that he was glad he
- spent his first two years of college at Brockport outside the
- phys ed department. His talk about college years received my rapt
- attention and he talked about other personal things too, just as
- he would to a friend. It was the first time I was with him
- completely alone, without other runners, and he seemed to like
- being with me as much as I did him.
-
- Twilight approached as we arrived back at the motel, The
- Bluebird, it was called. The small room, which rented for $12 a
- night, featured a black tiled bathroom and a B&W television with
- only one rabbit ear. However, it was clean and to be with Marty
- alone anywhere, even in the city dump, would be better than a
- suite at the Plaza with my family, as far as I was concerned. As
- soon as we got back to the room, Marty put on his sweat pants and
- headed out for a quick run and I turned on the TV to distract
- myself, while awaiting his return. I couldn't very well go along
- with him since I'd just finished a ten mile race. "Gilligan's
- Island" wasn't coming in very well on the TV, with one of the
- rabbit ears missing, so after a few minutes I turned it off and
- started pacing around the room. Marty's gym bag sat on a chair
- near one of the beds, and on the back of the chair were his
- clothes that he'd removed a few minutes before, before going out
- on his run. I touched his red sport shirt, feeling under the arms
- which were slightly moist, and then put my fingers to my nostrils
- to breathe in the aromatic smell that was Marty. I picked up his
- brown leather belt, running my fingers over its gold belt buckle,
- and then trying it on for size, pretending it was Marty wrapped
- around me. On the floor, just hidden by the bedspread, he'd
- tossed his dirty underwear when he changed into his jock strap.
- There they were, white Fruit of the Looms, blue stripe on the
- waist band. I picked them up like I was handling a sacred object.
- A few of Marty's pubic hairs clung to the cotton inner pouch and
- I brought his underwear to my face and breathed in deeply, trying
- to imagine his big balls and warm genitals and that mass of thick
- dark hair caressing my face. I wanted to jerk off right then with
- his underwear on my face, and I felt that if I had a hundred
- dollars, and they were up for auction, I'd gladly have paid that
- much for them. Since he said he was coming back in a few minutes,
- I resisted the impulse to jerk off, but thought I had to keep
- them as a souvenir, thinking Marty probably wouldn't even miss
- them, reasoning that he was careless enough to toss them under
- his bed in the first place. At the same time, I was feeling
- perverted for stealing his underwear, but I took the chance. I
- put them in my gym bag, wrapping them inside one of the extra T-
- shirts my mother packed.
-
- I turned the TV back on and pretended to be absorbed in
- "Gilligan's Island" when he came back in the room and headed for
- the bathroom to take a shower. The door to the bathroom opened
- and the whole room filled with the warm steamy smell of Marty. He
- emerged, a white towel wrapped around his waist, and stood at the
- bathroom door with his hand on his hip, his eyebrows furrowed in
- thought. First he moved toward the chair beside his bed then
- looked around on the floor. He said "You know, that's funny, I
- forgot to bring a clean pair of underwear, and I can't seem to
- find the pair I took off before I went running." I tried to look
- casual but I felt as though I were strapped in an electric chair
- and the switch was about to be thrown. He got down on his hands
- and knees and started looking under the bed. I grabbed my gym bag
- and headed into the bathroom quickly, shutting the door behind
- me. After flushing the toilet, having pretended I urinated, I
- came out holding his underwear in my hand and tossed them to him,
- trying to control my voice as I said "here they are, you must've
- left them in the bathroom."
-
- He smiled and put them on. I turned the TV to an even fuzzier
- channel and noticed that Marty was not getting dressed further,
- he just sat in his underwear as if in deep thought over
- something. Finally he said "you took my underwear didn't you," in
- a flat voice, and I looked at him in mock surprise, trying to act
- as though the accusation was outrageous. I knew I couldn't lie.
- He'd figured it out some how and there was no use lying. After a
- pause I said "yes," as the skin on my face turned into a burning
- blush. He could see that I was embarrassed and he didn't want to
- prolong my agony. "Well, it's one mystery you won't see solved on
- Perry Mason, The Case of the Missing Underwear," he said,
- laughing lightly. I was slightly relieved to see he was reacting
- well but still felt like the switch had been thrown on my
- electric chair. He acted like he was almost pleased, but with ten
- thousand volts of electricity coursing through my body, I was
- hardly aware of his reaction.
-
- Marty jumped up from his bed, turned off the TV, and stood facing
- me wearing only his underwear. I couldn't look at his face. I
- turned my head to the side and looked down at the bed. "Aw, come
- on Light, it's no big thing" he said as I felt his big paw on my
- shoulder. "If it matters to you, I feel the same way about you"
- he said in a softer voice, in a manner that allowed me to look up
- at him. I felt that I might be dead or dreaming, but the look in
- his eyes told me he meant what he said and that he was really
- there. Tears came pouring silently out of my eyes. "Aw, come on
- Light, don't cry" he said softly, as he drew me into his arms and
- put his face right up to mine, and licked at my tears with his
- tongue, like a dog might. Dreamlike, I opened my mouth and kissed
- him, sucking at his mouth like it was a nipple. I could feel his
- hardon pressing on my leg as we lay back on the bed, and my own
- cock sprang to attention with a consuming lust. He kissed and
- licked me all over, as he undressed me and took off his
- underwear. As he bent his knees, I put my face in his thick
- public hair and breathed in, while feeling with my hands around
- his chest and thighs. I let my lips touch his balls and then
- tasted them, licking them slowly as I let my tongue glide up the
- shaft of his hard dick. As I took his knob into my mouth he
- moaned with pleasure and positioned me so we could both suck at
- the same time. I came once, and during the next few hours, came
- four more times, each time as intense as the previous one. Being
- initiated into sex this way cast away all previous doubts I had
- about my sexual orientation.
-
- From the exhaustion of sex and running, we fell asleep in each
- other's arms, and I woke up to see him propped on one elbow, his
- face a few inches from my own. "Did I ever tell you, you are
- beautiful" he said, as he touched my forehead and played with a
- shock of hair that always managed to stand on end. His comment
- about my beauty sounds cliche now, but even the most hackneyed
- phrase can take on extraordinary dimensions when said with
- sincerity. What I just wrote about hackneyed phrases taking on
- extraordinary dimensions may sound cliche but what's new under
- the sun when it comes to the nature of human experience anyway.
-
- We made love again, and headed for breakfast. When we got back to
- the room, we gathered our things together and I took a long look
- at the bed where "it" happened, and shut the door. Sliding into
- the front seat of his car, he handed me a small brown bag.
- "Here's a present for you to remember our trip by." Inside were
- his underwear, the one and only pair used to wipe his semen off
- me the night before. "If it hadn't been for these, we might have
- never found each other" he said, as he pulled the car out of the
- motel lot.
-
- THE END
