The next day Mark was greeted by a very enthusiastic Sam. Apparently, Sam had stopped by the sporting goods store to thank the owner personally for donating the shoes to him. The two hit it off quite well and David was impressed by Sam’s personality and politeness. By the time that two finished chatting, Sam had acquired a new part-time job.
During practice, they had a team scrimmage. Mark and Luke led the second string which included Brandon, Jackson, and Devonte. Pak and Maxi switched to the first string and led them to victory behind a strong performance by Justin and Jamar. Mark left practice feeling really good about the team. They were clearly stronger and deeper than they were last year.
The past several days, Mark had been on a mission. He had an eye on Brandon wherever he went. Mark quickly noticed that Brandon didn’t seem to interact with anybody else on the team very much. In addition, he noticed that Brandon seemed to go into the restroom both before and after practice. The really unusual thing about it was that he always took his gym bag with him. Mark was beginning to fear that Brandon was taking some sort of substance.
The treatment room was going to a busy place after practice. Pak was feeling better and it was clear that he and Justin were about to finish what they had started the day before. In addition, Sam and Devonte were scheduled to meet there after their shower.
Mark had big plans in the locker room himself. Even though it seemed rather intrusive. Mark had to know what was inside Brandon’s gym bag. When Brandon headed in to take his shower, Mark was going to find out for sure.
Mark hurried down to the locker room as Brandon was always one of the first ones to shower and leave. He slowly undressed, biding his time until Brandon headed into the showers. Once Brandon had left his locker area, Mark drifted over by Brandon’s gym bag and sat at the bench next to it. He casually poked through the contents until he found a couple of very unusual items at the bottom.
There were a pair of lacy pink women’s panties and a matching bra. Mark was in complete shock. He totally hadn’t seen that coming, but it was very quickly making complete sense. Mark closed up the bag and quickly retreated back to his locker. He felt incredibly relieved that his suspicions were incorrect.
Mark continued to stall for a long as he could. He was already stripped down to his jockstrap and had fumbled with his phone at least six different times. Then he walked around chatting with several of the guys about the scrimmage.
Finally, Brandon returned from the shower. He quickly toweled off, slid on a pair of baggy boxers, and got dressed. Once dressed, he grabbed his bag and headed into the bathroom.
Mark waited a bit and headed over by the bathroom stall that Brandon had entered. He could hear some banging around and the rustling of clothes. About five minutes later, Brandon opened the door to be greeted by Mark.
Mark pushed his way inside of the stall and Brandon was in total shock. Mark pointed at the bag in Brandon’s hand and said, “Brandon, I know what you are doing in there.”
Stumbling over his words, Brandon mumbled, “I, I don’t know what you are talking about. I just had to take a crap. Give a guy some privacy, will you?”
Mark made an audible sniffing noise. “Huh, strange that it doesn’t smell at all in here. Are you sure that you weren’t changing clothes or something in here?”
“No, I have the same clothes on as before,” Brandon replied and pointed at his outer layer of clothing.
Mark reached his hand up to Brandon’s neck and peeled back two layers of shirts exposing the pink strap of his bra. “I don’t remember you putting this on earlier,” Mark questioned.
Now visibly upset, Brandon attempted to push his way out of the stall. He quickly gave up the fight as soon as Mark pushed him back.
Mark sighed, “Brandon, I don’t mean to upset you. I understand why you might have wanted to keep this away from the team, but it is not necessary. From now on you are going to be yourself when you are inside this locker room, whatever that may mean. I promise you that there will be no harm or ridicule that will happen here. I will not allow it.”
Brandon was stunned as he tried to work through everything that had just happened. Mark reached his hand down and pulled the waistband of Brandon’s shorts outward, exposing his pink panties. Mark smirked and said, “Cute panties. They look good on you.”
Mark turned and as he went to leave he felt a slap on his bare ass. Brandon remarked, “You have a great ass. I’ll bet that they would look even better on you.”
Mark headed back to his locker to find that Pak and Justin had returned from their appointment. Pak was absolutely beaming. He was wearing only a loosely wrapped towel and he appeared to be waiting for Justin to join him in the shower.
Brandon nervously walked out of the bathroom and mulled around by his locker. Mark was quite surprised. He didn’t really expect Brandon to "come out" tonight. Apparently, some people only need a nudge.
Brandon faced out toward everybody and peeled his two shirts off together, exposing his bra. There was a bit of a rustle in the locker room as several people were trying to figure out what Brandon was up to.
Brandon continued on until he was standing there in only his bra and panties. His cock was tucked up under so it barely left a bulge in the front of them.
Jamar gave Chris a nudge and pointed in Brandon’s direction. Chris immediately shouted over, “Oh my god! Oh my god! Everybody check out those cute little panties Brandon has on! I need to get a pair of those for my bitch.” Chris glared at Jamar.
A couple of the newer guys stared at Chris and Jamar, seemingly a bit stunned by what they had just heard.
Chris fired back, “What? I’m his man and he is my bitch. Try to keep up people!”
Chris and Jamar headed over to Brandon and offered some words of support. They were quickly followed by Pak.
At that point, Justin started to approach Brandon. Mark could see the intent in Justin’s eyes and so could Pak. Mark walked over and grabbed Pak by the arm and led him to the shower.
Sam, Devonte, Luke, Maxi, and Lee were all in the shower and they had missed everything that had just gone on out there. Mark was trying to settle Pak down as well as explain to the guys what had happened with Brandon.
Mark asked Luke, Maxi, and Lee to offer some support to Brandon, which they quickly agreed to. They headed out of the shower shortly thereafter.
Pak was still visibly upset. He clearly liked Justin quite a bit and the fact that he got dismissed by him minutes after they had sex was not going over very well.
As Mark turned around, Devonte was staring at Pak and himself. They were holding each other in the shower as Mark attempted to comfort Pak. Devonte looked at them like he was about to devour them both. His cock was so hard it looked like it was about to explode.
Devonte grabbed Sam and instructed him that it was time for them to go. Sam quickly realized the condition that Devonte was in and the two marched out of the shower and most likely directly into the treatment room.
Mark and Pak had a very personal chat about Justin. Mark confessed that he had some similar experiences with Justin. He didn't think that Justin was a bad guy, but he certainly wasn’t a very good partner either in a casual or serious relationship.
Pak also expressed that he was sore as hell. That didn’t surprise Mark. Maxi had been the largest partner that Pak was with previously and Justin significantly thicker and longer.
Mark advised Pak that he should leave Justin alone unless he initiated the conversation. The two walked back to their lockers. Justin was still standing next to Brandon flirting away with everything that he had. Pak and Mark both got dressed. Mark gave Pak a hug and told him to go home.
Once Pak had left the locker room Mark charged in and interrupted Brandon and Justin. He apologized quickly to Brandon then he grabbed Justin by his shirt and threw him back-first into the lockers.
Mark was shouting loud enough that everybody could hear. He told Justin that he was never going to disrespect another member of the team the way that he had just done to Pak. Then told Justin that Luke was going to put him against the locker the next time that he pulled anything like that.
Then Mark informed Brandon that Justin had just fucked Pak about five minutes before he tried to put a move on him. Brandon had no idea what had gone down previously. He wrinkled his nose, called Justin “tacky”, and headed over to talk to Luke and Maxi.
Mark let go of the collar of Justin's shirt and ordered him out of the locker room. Justin looked pretty stunned and didn't give any sort of response. He grabbed his bag and headed out of the locker room as everybody watched.
Shortly thereafter, Jackson showed up to the locker room. Apparently, he had stayed in the gym for while to get some extra work in. He had a stunned look on his face as he saw Brandon parading around in his bra and panties. His locker was next to Luke’s, so he was abruptly thrown into a slightly unusual situation.
