Chapter 19 Day 9 Part 3 Brandon's POV
Brandon's POV
We left to go home, Luke, Dad and I, and the ride was quiet. No one was saying anything. I was thinking about Jon. I was hoping I could get through to him and make him understand that he is missing out on one of the best relationships that he'll ever have in his life. Sure, I treated Luke like garbage, but I never would have hit him or call him those horrible names. He is on his own. I'm done with him. Furthermore, when Jake gets out of the hospital, and if Jon is still living there, I'll do whatever it takes to keep Jake from going back there. I hope Dr. Heiner kicks Jon out. I also hope that Dr. Heiner is going to step up and be a dad to Jake. The poor kid needs some stability in his life. I am so grateful that Dad had us visit Dr. Heiner's house. If not, right now Jake wouldn't have had Luke, Me, Grayson, and Dad in his life. I'm scared to think how he would have been able to survive on his own. My mind is just wandering all over the place.
As we pull into the driveway, I am brought out of my train of thought and onto another train. My life seamed much less complicated when I lived in France. As complicated as it is, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I even have a date tomorrow with Jennifer. That brings a smile on my face. I better make sure I have everything ready for our picnic. The flowers are ordered and I need to pick up the sparkling apple cider. Mom said that she had some nice glasses that she called "flutes" that I could use. I just need to come up with a nice casual outfit. I wonder what she is going to wear. If we were in France, we could have the picnic on the beach and she would probably be topless. Oh my gosh! Just thinking about that with her nice bare perky boobs out in the open sends blood to my nether regions. "Oh man! Why can't we be like France." I think to my self.
"Earth to Brandon!" Luke says standing outside of the car. "Are you just going to sit in the car all day, or what?" Back to reality again. Dad has already gone inside and Luke is waiting impatiently with arm folded.
"Oh yeah." I say as I get out of the backseat. "I was just thinking about my date tomorrow with Jennifer."
"I can see that." Luke says and he smacks my dick with his backhand. "You must really be looking forward to it too."
"Ow! You turkey Luke." I say as I grab my groin. "The next time you have a hard on, I'm going to pay you back." I'm not mad, but I am going to pay him back.
Later, we get a call from Grayson and he was able to see Jake. Dr. Heiner said that he was doing great after the surgery and that he needed to rest. He allowed Grayson to sit with him for about an hour and hold his hand. Jake would wake up for a moment and smile at him and then go back to sleep. We might be able to see him tomorrow.
I want to make sure I am presentable tomorrow when I see Jennifer so I go take my shower. Since I have been back to the states, I haven't kept up with my male grooming.
I remember back when I was in France, I was shaving in the bathroom before my shower. As customary, you don't lock the bathroom door. In fact, bathroom doors don't have locks on them in houses. So in walks Andres. I'm naked and he and his whole family have seen me like this so I don't even give it a thought. When I finished shaving my face, he asked me why I didn't finish. I asked him what I missed. I looked in the mirror and turned my head all around and couldn't find anything. He told me that my bush was too thick and assumed that my taint hadn't been shaved either.
"What?" I questioned with disbelief. "Why would I shave my taint. I can hardly even see it? Furthermore, I happen to like my pubes." I ran my fingers through the hairs to show off my pubes.
Andres laughed. "You could have a hawk make a nest in there." He was pointing at my bush. "You can hardly see your "bite" in there. It looks like a nest with two eggs and a worm. Ha Ha. At least the birdy will have something to eat." He laughs again pointing at my groin.
"What the hell!" I say as I cover up my manhood with my hands. I'm feeling self conscious for the first time since my host mom bathed me. "Didn't you learn when you were in America that you don't go around talking about another guys cocks and stuff? That's just not right."
"Okay, okay." Said Andres. "I was just kidding with you. In fact, I think you have a very beautiful `bite'. It is very handsome, but you need a hair cut."
With all this talk about my dick, I can feel the blood flowing to my member. "Andres! Never call another guy's cock beautiful let alone, handsome. It just isn't right."
He rolls his eyes. "You Americans! You're so self conscious about your bodies. You are in France now and you should just relax. Tomorrow we are going to the beach and our whole family are going nude. I hope you will join us as a family and enjoy the freedom of not having to wear a bathing suit. When I was in America, it was so restricting to wear board shorts. I wanted to at least wear my Speedo's, but that wasn't proper. A lot of American guys even wore a shirt swimming. I don't get it."
"Andres, I'm confused. You tell me that I need to trim and shave down there, yet the girls here in France don't shave their arm pits. In fact, some of them don't shave their legs either. I find that kind of gross."
"I hear you." Andres says. "But you are in France and not America. I'm helping you adjust to our culture. Here." He says while pointing. "Stand in front of this mirror." He shucks off his shorts and is as naked as I am. "Look at us. My pubic hair is nicely cropped and yours is all over the place. With the short hairs, my penis looks bigger than yours even though they are about the same size. It looks like you are trying to hide yours in a bush while my stands out proudly. Another thing, girls like the look of your balls. If it is covered in hair, it's harder to see and looks messy. So shaving the balls is a must. Some guys shave everything, but I think that is dumb. If you have a nice head of hair, you trim it, not shave it off."
Andres then rubs his fingers through his pubes to show the length and it's about half of an inch long. He lifts his penis to give me a good view of his balls. "Beautiful! Nice and smooth. You want to show off the goods. You want you pubes to be just around your, ah, Dick, and not run down your legs or up your butt. If you're not wearing underwear, the hairs can get caught in the zipper. Ouch. Also a hairy butt crack can catch bits of toilet paper and poop can get caught in the hairs. Not very attractive."
"Okay." I say. "You do look ah, well groomed and stuff. But I'm afraid that if I tried to trim my pubes, I would cut my dick or make it look worse. And about shaving my balls, I would be afraid of getting nicks and cuts. This happens sometimes with my face and the skin is tight. The skin of your ball sack is loose. If it is tight, then it is wrinkled and easy to get cut. I don't think I could do that."
Andres then asked me if I trusted him. I said that I did. So he told me that he would teach me how to do it correctly. It was really weird having him trim and shave me, but what the heck, I wasn't in the states and no one would know. I did get a boner, of course, but he said that it made it easier to get those hairs that trail up your dick. He said that if you trim your dick hairs back to the base, you look a little bigger. He was right and I must admit that I did look really good. I don't think I'll ever go back to being a caveman.
I smile at that memory and I get in the shower and take a tepid shower. I don't want low hangers or a scrunched up sack. After I get out and dry off, I lay out my grooming equipment. Andres had purchased me trimmers especially made for pubes. He got it for my birthday, but gave it to me in private so that I wouldn't be embarrassed to open it in front of family and friends. Andres really was a good brother.
I put the guard on the trimmer and I'm starting to trim back my pubes. "What the hell are you doing!" Luke had entered the bathroom without me noticing him. I jumped and almost dropped my trimmer.
"Luke!! Don't ever sneak up on a guy who is trimming his pubes! I almost dropped my trimmer and it's expensive. I could have cut myself in all the wrong places. Sheez!!" I was not happy. He just stood there, afraid to move. I took a deep breath and lowered my voice, "It's okay, Luke. Just don't do that again, okay?"
The blood came back to his face. "I'm sorry Brandon and I won't sneak up on you like that again. So what are you doing?"
"It's called grooming." I said. "It's something I learned to do in France and I like doing it. I hear that it's catching on here in the States too. You see, at your age, you are about as perfect as you can be. Drop your shorts and I'll show you what I'm talking about."
Luke drops his shorts and is looking at me ready to learn. I rub my fingers through his hairs. "You see, your pubes have come in real nice and are confined to the lower part of your mons pubis' or this area. You, Grayson and Jake look really good. But as you age, the hair gets out of control. It fills up to the top of your mons pubis,' this area, ( I was pointing to the area above his pubes and below his belly button) and can meld with stomach hair. Then your balls can get pretty hairy too. Then it starts growing onto your legs, through your taint and up your butt crack. It doesn't always stop there and many guys have hairy butts. Some girls like the hairy ape look, but most don't."
"Wait, wait, wait." Luke says. "In your butt crack? That's gross man. I hope I don't get pubes in my butt crack." Luke hesitates for a moment. "Um... Brandon, you don't have pubes in your butt crack, do you?" He acted like he didn't want an answer, but had to know. "Wait! I don't want to know." He shakes his head. "Okay, tell me."
"Um...I have a few. It's not like I can really see them, and it would be harder to shave them. That's why Andres tidied me up sometimes."
Luke squinted his eyes. "Andres would look in your butt crack and shave you there? That is.... is so.... Did he shave your balls too?"
"Well," I pause. "He had to because I was afraid I would cut myself and bleed everywhere. So at first he did his own while instructing me, then he showed me.... on me. So before you ask, yes he had to touch my balls. He had to move them around so he could get a flat surface. And again, before you ask, yes I got a boner. And yes, he had to move my dick around so he had a hold of it too. It was weird, but it wasn't sexual. Kinda like going to the doctor. He was like my brother and I trusted him. And... if you ever want me to guide you through this too, I will do it for you. I'd do anything for you. Even shave your butt hole. Ha Ha."
So for the next 10 to 15 minutes, I showed him how to groom himself on me. My dick would go up and down through the whole demonstration. After I had everything trimmed back I got out my razor the finish the job.I even showed him that usually pubes will grow part way up the pole too. It is easiest to shave them while the pole is straight. I had him inspect my cock and balls to make sure I got all the pubes. He even got out the flashlight to check. He found 5 hairs and I wasn't going to have him shave them off because his dominate arm was still broken. 5 hairs aren't noticeable. Then I bent over and spread my cheeks. I handed him my phone and asked him to take a picture of my crack so I could see what was growing in there. Again it was weird looking at my crack with my brother on my phone and seeing my pucker up close. He would zoom in and out and laugh the whole time. I didn't have too many hairs and the ones I did, weren't very long. Andres tidied me up a few weeks before I came home. So then Luke lays down on the bed with his legs in the air and tells me to take a close up of him too. He wanted to know if any were coming in. He had a bunch of pubes on his taint, but his hole and crack was smooth. I did the same thing to him by zooming in and out of his cute little pucker. We both laughed.
"So Brandon. You said that I, Grayson and Jake look nice. Were you talking in general about our development or about our looks? I guess I'm asking you if you think I am good looking or even handsome? I know Jake and Grayson are, I mean just look at them. I, ah, am okay with the way I look and I am comfortable with my body and all. It's like, you know, if a girl walks into a room and sees me, will she just look past me or will she think that this guy is cute?"
"Listen, Luke. Have you ever seen a girl at school and at first you think that she is hot and gorgeous?. Then it turns out she is really a mean person and looks down on everyone. Do you still think she is beautiful? Is she still pretty?"
"No!" Luke says. "That happened last year. Mean girls are not pretty."
"That's the thing, Luke, beauty is more than skin deep. It's more like who you are. I think your beauty goes to your core. With that being said, I think you are asking me if I think you are good looking. If I were to step back and look at you objectively, I would have to say that you are. Is there room for improvement? Sure. We are always trying to look our best by dressing nice, styling our hair, bathing regularly and so forth. That's why I have spent so much time getting my clothes sorted out for my date with Jennifer. I want to look my best for her tomorrow."
Luke doesn't look convinced. "But am I handsome?" He asks me.
"Yes, Luke. You are handsome. Your hair is a beautiful light brown and you get these little sun highlights in it every year. You don't tan as easily as I do, so if you were outside more, you'd get a better tan and more highlights. You also keep your hair clean and combed. Your facial features are more like Dad's while I look more like Mom. Your teeth and skin are flawless and you are very cute when you smile. Those braces you had on your teeth did wonders for you. You are still growing and haven't filled out as much as you will. In the mean time, if you worked on your abs and pecs along with getting more sun, you'd look hot. But in a few years, none of this will matter. What will matter is your inner beauty and I would have to say that you are the most beautiful person I have ever known. That will stay with you for your entire life. Now let's get some sleep, you handsome devil."
