Chapter 5
Saturday morning dawned bright, but cold. We both got out of bed and started our morning routines.
“Do you need the toilet?” I asked.
“Yeah,” he grinned. “I need to do a number two.”
I laughed.
“Okay then, to the bathroom with you.”
When we got there, I pulled down Mark’s underpants. I tried not to look at what was revealed, but couldn’t help myself. Mark sat.
“Do you want me to leave the room while you do your business? I know some guys are shy about stuff like this.”
“No, it’s okay, it’s just a bit embarrassing.”
“Sorry.” I touched his shoulder. “Try not to let it bother you. I know it’s odd, but it’ll be okay.”
After Mark had moved his bowels, I asked him to lean foreword a bit so I could gain access to his rear, and do the necessary cleaning up.
“You know this isn’t the first bum I’ve had to wipe.”
“Oh?”
“I was in hospital a few years ago with a burst appendix. They didn’t have any beds free in the main ward, so I had to stay in the children’s ward. There was a cute little five-year-old boy in for a busted elbow or something. His parents hadn’t taught him what to do after using the toilet, so he would shout, ‘I’VE DONE! I’VE DONE!’ from the cubicle. Nine times out of ten there wasn’t a nurse within hearing range, so muggins here, who had the bed nearest the bathroom, had to go in and wipe it for him.”
Mark smiled. I asked him to stand and I pulled up his underpants.
“And besides, your bum is a lot cuter than his.” I patted said bum.
Mark laughed, which pleased me. I’d managed to make light of what could have been a potentially awkward situation.
After I’d washed Mark and brushed his teeth, he sat back on the closed lid of the toilet while I did the same for myself.
