The Nationals, Part 6

Again, I am sorry for the delay in writing. Writer’s block meets heavy workload at work. Hopefully, I will be able to get inspired enough to keep the story humming along.

“That is the BEST news I got today!” exclaimed Henrietta. “So, what are we going to do now? You must’ve heard something?” Aurore told her “There’s a new type of trample contest coming up, and some of the first time participants have to do a performance on a human mat. Come on, we’ll demonstrate over by the wall.”

On the walk over, Henrietta noticed Mikey seemed to have grown a bit, and was almost as tall as she was. Remarkable how quickly that happens, she pondered. Matt had also grown taller, and seemed to have bulked up a bit. He should be a LOT of fun for the trample challenges.

Matt lay down by the wall, and Aurore slipped off her Crocs while Danae unlaced her sneaker-boots. She then stood at Matt’s feet while Aurore stood by his head. They quietly counted down between themselves, and then Aurore placed one bare foot square on Matt’s face while Danae stepped up on his ankles. Slowly, they trod the length of his body, meeting on Matt’s lower abdomen. Henrietta noticed a considerable amount of stepping on his crotch by both girls as they passed by each other, Danae on the outside and Aurore next to the wall. Slowly they trod upon his body in either direction. After turning their heads to check on the other, Danae planted one red and black striped sock directly on Matt’s face while Aurore stepped down on to his ankles. They both stepped off at the same time, Danae stepping up full-weight on his face before stepping down.

“There you have it, a variation of the Human Sidewalk” Aurore explained. Danae continued “Of course, all we’ll have is a rope during the contest, so you see why they gave us these bottoms to practice on.” Henrietta pondered this for a moment, and then asked “We’ll get to use them for the real contest, right?” Both girls just shrugged. “We don’t know for sure,” replied Aurore, “but we THINK that’s the case.” Danae nodded in agreement. All three girls then turned and looked at Mikey. “Hey, I bet I can do this as well as he can” he said firmly. “As a matter of fact, I want to try it.” Without waiting further, he stripped off his shirt and lay down next to the wall, in the position his brother recently vacated. “Fine, fine” replied Henrietta. “Let me get Miko and Zoë over…” Mikey interrupted her. “No, no. I want YOU to be one of the girls.”

“I might be a little too heavy…” Henrietta started, but Mikey cut her off. “I have been practicing with my older cousin and my aunt, and I can hold them up. I think I can manage two of you.” At this, he seemed to hesitate. “Or at least try to manage it” he finished quietly. Henrietta sighed, and then motioned Michelle over. “Might as well have two new girls try this” she explained to Danae and Aurore while nudging off her sneakers. She quickly explained the situation to Michelle, who just nodded and walked down to Mikey’s feet, kicking off her own sneakers when she got there.

Henrietta stared down at the tiny (or so it seemed to her) face of Mikey, who calmly looked back at her. “Any time you’re ready” he told the girls. Henrietta raised one foot over his face, and then rested her heel right on his forehead. Michelle has one red sock clad foot resting right on his ankle. “Okay, here goes” Henrietta murmured, and then stepped up full weight. She could feel Mikey’s face scrunch up, even through her sock. Michelle was now also standing on each of his ankles. The last face I stepped on, I got a kiss for it, Henrietta thought as she placed her other foot next to its mate on his face. His breathing got a little ragged, but she could tell he didn’t want her to stop. She stepped down on his chest, and his breathing got a little rougher, but he seemed okay. Michelle used the wall for balance and had made it up to his thighs. Henrietta was a bit slower, but she knew she had to meet Michelle on or near the belt line. Her next step took her to his stomach, and she could feel the WHOOSH of air leave his chest when she put all her weight on it. Michelle was now on his upper thigh, almost face to face with Henrietta. “I’ll go by the wall, okay?” she stated. Henrietta knew she couldn’t step off Mikey, so she placed one foot on the palm of his hand to step around Michelle. “No, that’s wrong” Danae informed her. “If you’re losing your balance and about to fall off, that would be fine, but you got to stay on his main body.” Henrietta adjusted herself, and found her foot right on his crotch. Seems he grew in more ways than one, she thought, giving him a toe squeeze through his pants.

She stepped around Michelle, making sure to put some more weight on his crotch before stepping down to his thigh. Here her footing was more assured. She gingerly stepped down to his shins before turning to see how far Michelle had gotten. She had one foot balanced directly on Mikey’s face, and was waiting for Henrietta’s nod. She stepped up full weight on his face before stepping off, and Henrietta did the same on his shoes.

“That was pretty good” Danae told her. “There might have been some deduction in points for the hand step, but it was good for a first try.” “Will we all be doing this as teams, or just certain girls?” asked Henrietta. “We’ll all be doing this, no exceptions” Aurore informed her. She tried to imagine Lori doing the face stand on Mikey, but cut that thought off quickly. “Also, there is special credit for a team who can leave their shoes on for certain contests” Aurore continued. “Well, we mostly wear sneakers, so that shouldn’t be a big issue…” Henrietta started to say, but Danae cut her off. “Actually, there might be boots and heels involved.” Henrietta shook her head. “No, most of us have never even WORN heels, let alone stepped up on someone in them. That can’t be right.” Danae made a quick motion out on the floor, where Henrietta noticed the Heights team, all clad in matching spandex and strappy heels, taking turns stepping up on over a prone male.

They actually had a good rhythm going, Henrietta thought. One would step up on his chest and step to his stomach before stepping down. The next girl had her timing down perfectly, stepping up without a pause and retracing her team mates foot steps. She stepped off on the side of the bottom’s head, and the next girl stepped right up. Heels dug into the bottom’s shirt, and the Heights girls were wobbly in them, but they all had decent balance. At least none of them looked like they were going to stumble and fall. She pondered how their bottom was handling this action. He seemed to be well-trained; making sure his head was turned properly when the soles of the shoes touched his face.

Again Henrietta thought of doing that to Mikey, and cut that thought out quickly. “Wow, good news and bad news at one time” she said out loud to no one in particular. She turned to the rest of her team, who had quietly re-assembled behind her to watch the Heights girls. “So, how do we begin?” she asked. Aurore replied “We’re all proficient without shoes, so I suppose we could try in sneakers and street shoes first, and then see about heels. Henrietta nodded, and then addressed the team. “I never thought I’d ever say this, but get your shoes on. Let’s give this a try.”

No surprise, Matt was fairly easy to stand upon. Tina stepped right up on his thighs, near his crotch, and he seemed to take the weight easily. He grunted a bit when the high top sneakers of Lori found their place on his stomach, but there was no reaction when Ami stepped up on his chest in her own battered Nikes. With a sense of unease, Henrietta watched Aurore place one Croc-shod foot on the side of Matt’s head. “Well,” Aurore whispered, “here goes nothing”, and stepped right up, placing her other foot next to its mate. Matt grimaced a bit, but said nothing. He didn’t seem to be straining, so that was at least a start, Henrietta reasoned. She turned to Mikey, already shirtless on the floor with Cindy, Miko, Mai, and Zoë standing over him. “Are you ready?” she asked Mikey. He gave a weak nod, and Henrietta could tell he was more than a little nervous. “Don’t worry,” she told him, “just start tapping when…I mean, IF the weight becomes too much to handle.” He gave the “thumbs-up” sign, and Henrietta nodded to Zoë. She gingerly placed one white sneaker on his thighs, and everybody watched Mikey’s face as Zoë stepped up full weight. A quick exhale from nerves escaped Cindy as she placed one leather slip-on shoe on his abdomen. She was very quick to step up, and Mikey audibly exhaled as well. Mai took her time and watched his face as she slowly put more weight on his chest. Finally, both her sneakers were firmly planted on his chest. Henrietta and the rest of the team looked at Miko. She has slipped on what she called “classroom” shoes, white rubber-soled slippers she wore in her Japanese classroom. At least she didn’t have those wooden-soled sandals, Henrietta thought with amusement. Miko put both her hands against the wall, and then placed one shoe on the side of Mikey’s head. Her heel stuck out over his face, and Henrietta could see him tensing up. Slowly, Miko started raising her other foot off the floor, and Mikey’s face got a little tenser. Finally, Miko placed her foot next to its twin on the side of Mikey’s face.

He lasted about 20 seconds in this position before he started to tap the floor. All four girls stepped off in unison as Mikey lay gasping for air. “Are you doing okay?” Henrietta asked. He nodded weakly, and all the girls could see how red his face had gotten. “Let’s give you a moment to rest, okay, honey?” Henrietta told him, while the rest of her team mates quietly giggled to themselves over her use of “Honey”.

“I REALLY don’t like this” Henrietta told her team mates as they stood over Matt and Mikey on the floor. “There is always some pain for the bottoms during the contests, but it seems now we’re just hurting them to be hurting them.” “No, I disagree” replied Michelle. “This is just a different pain they’re going through.” Tina continued for her friend, “Before, it was just a fun game…just like teasing them. I guess you have to put them under more pressure and pain once you get older, or they’ll never become good bottoms. They’ll never learn their place in life.”

Kari gave a snort of derision. “I heard they have ball kicking contests at the college level. The boys are strong, but the girls keep it up until the guy goes down.” She paused for a second before continuing. “We’re just toughening them up for later in life, that’s all.” “Besides, that’s what boys are for, isn’t it?” Miko surprised everyone with that last comment. She looked embarrassed to say anything, but she continued. “The boys are subservient to us right now, and this keeps them that way.”

“Well, I’m still getting used to it, and right now, I’m not crazy over all this” Henrietta told her team mates. “The teasing and the stepping all over them is fun, but I don’t know if I could try to really…HURT anyone.” She was pleased when Danae spoke up. “We’re not ready for the whole domination thing. Heck, I’ve never wore high heels before. I’m not sure I can even walk in them, much less walk all over…” Here, she pointed to the boys on the floor. Mai joined in the conversation. “It’s just a lot to take in. I mean, I think we all like these guys…” She pointed to Matt and Mikey before continuing “but we might end up hurting them before all this is over.”

Henrietta finally understood why Matt and Mikey were assigned to their squad for practice. “Karin must’ve planned this as well” she reasoned. “She KNEW we would have trouble with actually practicing with them.” She sat down hard on the floor for the second time that day. “This is going to be tough,” she said, looking at the boys on the floor, “but we’re going to keep practicing with you, and ON you. I hope you can take what we might have to dish out.” Matt simply nodded, but Mikey looked more than a little scared. Still, Henrietta reasoned, this might toughen him up. “Okay, Lori,” she said, “let’s see about getting those heels.”
