Climax

Weang and Wanking - 4

Xie was unnerved to say the least. After they departed for the evening, he kept thinking about it.

Unlike Wei, he knew what was what. To some extent. His innocence was robbed six months ago. Until then like every other kid he also thought babies came when dad kissed mom with love.

Six months ago, one fine Friday evening when the boys were watching girls running, one of the boys sported a rather impressive dick and the others snickered noticing it. Said boy was from the only ranch of the island. He had been breeding cattle from his cradle days. So he took it upon himself to explain to his friends how his hard dick was an important part of the baby making process.

Xie had wanted to puke after imagining it.

"So what about kissing?" A boy had asked.

"It doesn't make babies." Ranch-boy had said.

"Then can we kiss girls?" Somebody had asked eagerly.

"No, fool. Of course not. You're not cattle. You can kiss and make babies only with your wife." Ranch-boy said. His parents were smart enough to instill that piece of island wisdom.

Xie had started sprouting hard dick three months after this sex lesson. So he wasn't worried. What unnerved him now was why he got it while smiling at Wei. It clashed with his knowledge of hard dick was for making babies rule.

Surely he couldn't make a baby with Wei. Could he?

He hoped not. He liked Wei so much and didn't want to stop spending time with him. He had a friend in elementary school, her name was Tia. He wasn't allowed to even smile at her anymore. His mom said that's not a good behavior since she had grown up now. He knew it had to do with babies.

He didn't want that to happen with Wei.

When they met on Monday evening, Xie had already pushed the weird incident to the back of his mind.

"This is for you." Wei handed him a small box made of coconut leaves.

"What's it?" The box was closed shut using a thread with a simple knot.

"Rikla. I made it specially for you, add it with some bread or rice. It's super tangy and spicy, you can't eat it just like that." Wei said proud to offer something worthy to his friend who had promised to teach him to ride bicycles.

"Alrighty. Let's start with your lessons." Xie placed the box down with his school bag and motioned Wei to the bicycle.

The next half an hour Xie had the best time of his life. Wei was one of a kind when it came to sucking at riding. But he was also able to laugh at himself for his inability. So it was easy to be honest and scold him.

"Don't bend your hip! That's the only rule!" Xie said exasperated and amused for the hundredth time. He supported the bike from falling, with his weight.

"I don't even know that I'm bending." Wei chuckled.

"You're twisting so much that the bike is confused as to which way to go. Concentrate on keeping your back straight. Try again."

"Okay." Wei was ashamed at how bad he was at this. He had seen little kids ride them with so much ease. He never thought it would be such a difficult thing to learn. Xie was excellent though. He didn't yell or belittle his effort. Wei realized that it made all the difference. Due to Xie's kind approach he was actually able to enjoy this humiliating activity.

He ordered his brain to keep the backbone straight and pressed on the pedals.

"That's it. You're doing great." Xie cheered beside him, holding the seat.

"The bike isn't moving!!" Wei laughed.

"Sorry. I was holding too tight. Try now."

This time Wei forgot to tell his brain and the bike went in a zigzag motion making the pair scream at each other.

"It's getting late..." Wei said reluctantly when Xie took control of that two wheeled beast. Wei wasn't ready to leave, but he had to go home and cook dinner and lunch for tomorrow.

"Ok, tomorrow you're going to get a stick tied to your back." Xie warned.

"Do you still want to teach me?" Wei asked in genuine surprise. He could see that Xie was drenched in sweat and surely bruised his hands and hips by holding the bicycle from falling.

"Hey... We are going to the dam this weekend. You're riding half the distance." Xie said seriously.

Wei smiled, feeling all warm and happy. He ducked his head and nodded. "Ok."

When they went their separate ways, Xie got curious about Rikla and decided to take a peek inside when he was a few blocks away from his street.

He leaned the bike on a wall and untied the thread to open the box.

There was one red round thing, like an onion, inside. He bent his head down and inhaled it to identify the vegetable.

And puked his lunch out on the street side, the box falling from his shocked fingers. When he finally opened his eyes and wiped his mouth he found a fat little cat at his feet eating the rikla with loud crunches.

He puked again.

It's fish.

Wei gave him fish. Tomorrow Xie would tell him that he didn't eat fish.

He took the bike, leaving the cat to it's treat.

"You did great today." Xie told Wei after the riding session.

"Come on. I can't ride straight for more than five seconds." Wei shook his head. At this rate he wouldn't be ready by Friday.

"That's how you start."

Wei huffed. "I feel like I'm wasting your time."

"Yeah. I'll start charging you." Xie teased. He enjoyed the lessons too much. They laughed a lot and it was so fun to tease Wei. Whenever he teased Wei would laugh and that laugh was so infectious, Xie could not keep a straight face. He altogether stopped spending his evenings with his other friends. He even stopped making new friends. There was a wholeness Xie felt with Wei that he was finally content.

"How was the Rikla?" Wei asked, he could pay in Riklas. Each Rikla cost three dollars. And the one he brought for Xei was the fattest shrimp. His mom would have sold it for six dollars.

The question was so sudden, Xei didn't have time to react. He answered without thinking. "It was great. Tasty." He panicked at the stupid lie and added more to cover up. "Super spicy, I ate an extra slice of bread because of it. You're a great cook." He said. It was like his lips weren't in his control. He put a hand over his mouth before he spouted more nonsense.

The toothy smile Wei gave to his lies eased his guilty mind.

"I'll bring you one tomorrow. We make it every other day."

All blood drained from Xie's face. "No... no... it's ok... don't trouble yourself." He was in a pickle now. How could he say no now without contradicting himself?

"No trouble. I want to." Wei smiled again looking Xie in the eye.

Xie relaxed and decided that all was fair in friendship and nodded with an answering smile of his own.
