* * * * *The Twist in the Life of Mathias
Chapter 2
I
sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the floor, trying to process
everything that had happened. The humiliation from the previous night
still clung to me like a second skin. I could hear Thomas’s voice
echoing in my head, his mocking tone cutting deeper than any physical
pain. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare, one where my younger
brother had somehow become the dominant figure in my life, and I was
left scrambling to regain some semblance of dignity.
The sound
of voices outside my door snapped me out of my thoughts. It was
Thomas’s friends, Tahir and Chris. They were laughing, their voices
carrying through the thin walls of our flat. I could hear Thomas
joining in, his laughter louder and more confident than ever. My
stomach churned. I didn’t want to face them, didn’t want to be the butt
of their jokes again. But I knew I couldn’t hide in my room forever.
I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I needed to act like
nothing had happened, like I wasn’t still reeling from the events of
the previous night. I grabbed a t-shirt and pulled it on, then slipped
into a pair of jeans. I avoided looking at myself in the mirror. I
didn’t want to see the reflection of the boy who had been so thoroughly
humiliated.
As I opened the door, the laughter from the living
room grew louder. I hesitated for a moment, then forced myself to walk
out. Thomas, Tahir, and Chris were sitting on the couch, their
attention focused on Thomas’s phone. They didn’t notice me at first,
and I considered slipping past them to the kitchen. But then Thomas
looked up, his smirk instantly returning.
“Well, well, look
who’s finally decided to join the land of the living,” he said, his
voice dripping with sarcasm. Tahir and Chris turned to look at me,
their expressions a mix of curiosity and amusement.
“Hey, Mathias,” Tahir said, his tone casual, but I could see the glint of mischief in his eyes. “Heard you had a rough night.”
I clenched my fists, trying to keep my composure. “Yeah, well, it’s
over now,” I muttered, brushing past them to the kitchen. I could feel
their eyes on me as I walked away, and I hated how exposed I felt.
In the kitchen, I grabbed a glass of water and tried to calm my nerves.
I could still hear them laughing in the living room, and I knew they
were talking about me. I wanted to scream, to storm back in there and
demand that they stop, but I knew it would only make things worse. I
was trapped in this cycle of humiliation, and I didn’t know how to
break free.
As I stood there, trying to gather my thoughts,
Mum walked in. She looked at me with a mixture of concern and
frustration. “Mathias, are you okay?” she asked, her voice softer than
it had been the night before.
I shrugged, avoiding her gaze. “I’m fine,” I lied. “Just… trying to get through the day.”
Mum sighed, placing a hand on my shoulder. “I know last night was hard
for you, but you need to move past it. Thomas is just being a kid. He
doesn’t mean to hurt you.”
I wanted to believe her, but the
words felt hollow. Thomas had meant to hurt me. He had enjoyed every
second of my humiliation. And now, with his friends here, he had an
audience to amplify his mockery.
“I’ll try,” I said, though I didn’t believe it myself. I just wanted the conversation to end.
Mum gave me a small smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “Good. Now,
why don’t you go out and join them? It might help to take your mind off
things.”
I nodded, though the thought of facing Thomas and his
friends again made my stomach twist. But I knew I couldn’t hide
forever. I had to face them eventually.
As I walked back into
the living room, the laughter died down slightly. Thomas looked up at
me, his smirk still firmly in place. “So, Mathias, you ready to admit
that you’re still a little kid?” he asked, his tone teasing but with an
edge of cruelty.
I felt my face flush, but I forced myself to
stay calm. “I’m not a kid, Thomas,” I said, my voice steady despite the
anger bubbling inside me. “And I don’t need to prove anything to you.”
Thomas raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying the tension. “Oh, really?
Because from where I’m sitting, it looks like you’ve got a lot to
prove.”
Tahir and Chris chuckled, and I felt my resolve waver.
I wanted to lash out, to shut Thomas up once and for all, but I knew it
would only make things worse. Instead, I took a deep breath and forced
a smile.
“You know what, Thomas? You’re right. I do have a lot to prove. But not to you. I’m done playing your games.”
Thomas’s smirk faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. “Oh,
come on, Mathias. Don’t be such a buzzkill. We’re just having fun.”
“Yeah, well, your idea of fun is pretty messed up,” I shot back, my
voice rising slightly. I could feel the anger building, but I tried to
keep it in check. “You think it’s funny to humiliate me in front of
everyone? To make me feel like I’m less than you? Well, guess what? I’m
not going to let you do that anymore.”
Thomas stared at me,
his expression unreadable. For a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of
doubt in his eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it appeared.
“Whatever, Mathias,” he said, shrugging. “If you can’t take a joke,
that’s your problem.”
I wanted to say more, to push back
against his dismissive attitude, but I knew it wouldn’t do any good.
Instead, I turned and walked back to my room, closing the door behind
me. I leaned against it, my heart racing, and let out a long, shaky
breath.
I didn’t know how to fix things with Thomas, or how to
regain the respect I had lost. But I knew one thing for sure: I wasn’t
going to let him define me anymore. I was more than his jokes, more
than his mockery. And if he couldn’t see that, then it was his loss.
As I sat down on my bed, I felt a small sense of relief. For the first
time in a long time, I felt like I had taken a step forward, even if it
was a small one. The road ahead was still uncertain, but I was
determined to find my way.
Mathias took some fresh clothes and
went to the bathroom to take the shower. The water from the shower had
been warm and soothing, a brief escape from the chaos of the last 24
hours. But as Mathias stood there, letting the water run over him, he
couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling of vulnerability that had taken root
in his chest. Yesterday had changed everything. He had always thought
of himself as the older, more mature brother—stronger, more developed,
more confident. But now, that illusion had been shattered. Thomas,
his thirteen-year-old brother, had outgrown him in
the most humiliating way possible. And now, Mathias couldn’t help but
feel exposed, even in the privacy of his own shower.
He heard
the bathroom door creak open, but he didn’t think much of it. He never
locked the door—why would he? Until yesterday, he had never felt the
need to hide himself. But now, as the sound of footsteps reached his
ears, a pang of anxiety shot through him. He quickly turned off the
water and grabbed his towel, wrapping it tightly around his waist. He
peeked out from behind the shower curtain, but the bathroom was empty.
Whoever had come in must have left just as quickly.
Mathias
sighed, trying to shake off the unease. He stepped out of the shower
and reached for the fresh clothes he had laid out on the counter. But
they were gone. His stomach dropped. He looked around, hoping he had
just misplaced them, but they were nowhere to be seen. A sinking
feeling settled in his chest. This had Thomas written all over it.
“Funny, very funny,” Mathias muttered under his breath, his voice
dripping with sarcasm. He dried himself off and wrapped the towel
around his waist again, clutching it tightly. He knew he had to go
through Thomas’s room to get to his own, and the thought made his skin
crawl. But he didn’t have a choice. He couldn’t stay in the bathroom
forever.
As he stepped into the hallway, he could hear the
sounds of laughter and the familiar beeps of a PlayStation game coming
from Thomas’s room. Mathias hesitated, his grip on the towel
tightening. He just wanted to get to his room, get dressed, and avoid
any more humiliation. But as he passed Thomas’s door, his brother’s
voice stopped him in his tracks.
“Hey, little brother!” Thomas
called out, his tone mocking. “Come here for a second. We need to show
you something new in the game. It’ll only take a minute, and then you
can go put some clothes on.”
Mathias froze. He didn’t want to
go in there. He didn’t want to face Thomas and his friends, especially
not while he was only wearing a towel. But Thomas’s voice had that
commanding edge to it, the one that made it hard to say no. Mathias
took a deep breath and stepped into the room, trying to appear as
nonchalant as possible.
Tahir and Chris were sitting on the
floor, controllers in hand, their eyes glued to the screen. Thomas was
lounging on his bed, a smug grin plastered across his face. He looked
Mathias up and down, his smirk widening.
“Why do you keep
calling him ‘little brother’?” Tahir asked, glancing at Thomas with a
puzzled expression. “He’s older than you, right?”
Thomas’s
grin turned wicked. “See for yourself,” he said, and before Mathias
could react, Thomas lunged forward and yanked the towel away.
Mathias’s heart stopped. He stood there, completely exposed, as the
room fell silent for a split second. Then, the laughter started. It was
loud, raucous, and utterly humiliating. Tahir and Chris’s eyes widened
in shock, but it didn’t take long for them to join in, their laughter
echoing off the walls.
“Oh my God!” Tahir exclaimed, pointing at Mathias. “Is that for real?!”
“Looks like someone’s still in diapers!” Chris added, doubling over with laughter.
Mathias felt his face burn with shame. He reached for the towel, but
Thomas held it just out of reach, taunting him. “Come on, Mathias,
don’t be shy! Let them see what a real little brother looks like!”
“Give it back, Thomas!” Mathias snapped, his voice trembling with anger
and embarrassment. He lunged for the towel, but Thomas dodged, holding
it high above his head.
“What’s the matter, little bro? Afraid they’ll see how tiny you are?” Thomas teased, his voice dripping with malice. “Don’t worry, they already know!”
The boys erupted into laughter again, their voices blending into a
cacophony of mockery. Mathias felt like the walls were closing in on
him. He wanted to scream, to fight back, but he was frozen in place,
his body betraying him. He could feel their eyes on him, their laughter
cutting through him like knives.
“Look at that thing!” Tahir said between laughs. “It’s like a baby carrot!”
“More like a peanut!” Chris chimed in, his voice high-pitched with amusement.
Mathias’s chest tightened, and he felt like he couldn’t breathe. He
wanted to disappear, to vanish into thin air. But instead, he stood
there, exposed and vulnerable, as his brother and his friends tore him
apart with their words.
“Come on, Mathias,” Thomas said, his
tone mockingly sympathetic. “Don’t be mad. It’s not your fault you’re
still a little kid. Some people just develop slower than others.”
The words hit Mathias like a punch to the gut. He felt tears welling up
in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. He wouldn’t give Thomas
the satisfaction of seeing him cry. Not again.
With a sudden
burst of anger, Mathias lunged at Thomas, grabbing for the towel.
Thomas stumbled backward, laughing as he tried to keep it out of reach.
The two of them tumbled to the floor, wrestling for control. Tahir and
Chris watched, their laughter growing louder as the brothers struggled.
“Give it back, you jerk!” Mathias shouted, his voice cracking with desperation.
“Make me, little bro!” Thomas shot back, his grin never faltering.
Finally, Mathias managed to grab the towel and yank it away from
Thomas. He quickly wrapped it around himself, his hands shaking as he
tried to regain some semblance of dignity. But the damage had already
been done. The laughter continued, and Mathias knew he would never live
this down.
“Get out!” Mathias shouted, his voice breaking. “Just get out!”
Thomas stood up, still grinning, and gestured for Tahir and Chris to
follow him. “Come on, guys. Let’s give the little bro some space. He’s
clearly not ready to hang out with the big boys yet.”
The
three of them left the room, their laughter echoing down the hallway.
Mathias stood there, his chest heaving, his face burning with shame. He
felt like he was drowning, the weight of their mockery pressing down on
him.
He stumbled to his room and slammed the door shut,
leaning against it as tears finally spilled down his cheeks. He slid to
the floor, his body trembling with a mix of anger, humiliation, and
despair. He felt so small, so insignificant. How had things gotten this
bad? How had his little brother become the one in control, while he was
left feeling like a child?
Mathias buried his face in his
hands, the tears coming in waves. He didn’t know how to fix this, how
to regain his sense of self. All he knew was that he couldn’t keep
living like this. Something had to change.
But for now, all he could do was sit there, alone and broken, as the echoes of laughter continued to haunt him.
Mathias sat on the floor of his room, his back against the door, tears
streaming down his face. The humiliation was unbearable. He felt like a
child, helpless and exposed, while his younger brother and his friends
had all the power. He just wanted to be left alone, to hide from the
world and pretend none of this had ever happened. But the universe, it
seemed, had other plans.
The door creaked open behind him, and
before he could react, Thomas, Tahir, and Chris were stepping inside.
Mathias quickly wiped his tears, trying to compose himself, but it was
too late. They had already seen him at his lowest.
“Mathias,
come on, don’t worry,” Thomas said, his voice dripping with false
sympathy. He sat down next to his older brother and slung an arm over
his shoulder. “It was just a joke. You know how it is—just having a
little fun.”
Mathias stiffened, his body tense with anger and
shame. He wanted to push Thomas away, to scream at him to leave, but he
couldn’t find the words. Instead, he sat there, frozen, as the boys
crowded around him.
“Yeah, man, we don’t care about your little peanut,” Chris added, his tone light but laced with sarcasm. “It’s no big deal.”
Tahir chuckled, nodding in agreement. “Seriously, Mathias, it’s just a body. We all look the same, right?”
Mathias clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. They were
mocking him, pretending to comfort him while twisting the knife even
deeper. He wanted to lash out, to tell them to leave him alone, but
before he could say anything, his mother’s voice cut through the room.
“What’s going on here?” Mum asked, standing in the doorway with her
hands on her hips. Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the
scene—Mathias on the floor, tears staining his face, and the boys
sitting around him like they were trying to console him.
Thomas was quick to respond, his voice calm and reassuring. “Mathias is
still just upset because he realized he still fits in my old underwear.
He doesn’t want to wear them, and we were trying to calm him down.”
Mathias’s eyes widened in disbelief. “That’s not—” he started, but Mum cut him off before he could finish.
“Mathias, what’s wrong with you?” she asked, her tone a mix of
frustration and concern. She stepped into the room and took his hands,
pulling him to his feet. As he stood, the towel around his waist
slipped off, leaving him completely exposed once again. He
instinctively tried to cover himself, but Mum grabbed his wrists,
holding them firmly.
“Stop it, Mathias,” she said, her voice
firm. “Until yesterday, you weren’t ashamed of yourself. You weren’t
hiding. What changed? Just because you realized your underwear is
smaller than your brother’s doesn’t change anything. You’re still the
same person. You don’t have to be ashamed around your family or other
boys. You all look the same.”
Mathias’s face burned with
humiliation. He wanted to argue, to tell her that no, they didn’t all
look the same—not where it mattered. But he couldn’t bring himself to
say it out loud. Instead, he looked down at himself, his body betraying
him once again. The cold air and the shame had caused his already small
penis to shrink even further, and now he was standing there, completely
exposed, in front of everyone.
“Now, please go and put some
underwear on,” Mum said, her tone leaving no room for argument. “I
don’t want to have a discussion about it like yesterday.”
Mathias nodded, his throat tight with unshed tears. He grabbed the
towel and wrapped it around himself again, then hurried to his dresser
to find a pair of underwear. As he pulled them on, he could feel the
boys’ eyes on him, their smirks and quiet laughter making his skin
crawl.
“Thank you, Thomas, for taking care of him,” Mum said,
her voice softening as she addressed her younger son. “You’re such a
good brother.”
Mathias’s stomach churned. Thomas, the one who
had orchestrated his humiliation, was being praised for “taking care of
him.” It was unbearable.
“Mathias, come and play PS with us,”
Tahir said, his tone overly cheerful. “We don’t care about your undies,
really. No need to cry.”
“Yeah, ma’am, we’ll take care of him,” Chris added, his voice dripping with false sincerity. “No worries.”
Mathias felt like he was trapped in a nightmare. They were making it
look like he was the little kid who needed to be taken care of, and his
mother was buying it. She already thought Thomas was more responsible
and mature than him, and now this? It was too much.
He wanted
to scream, to tell them all to leave him alone, but he didn’t. He
couldn’t. If he lashed out now, it would only make things worse. So
instead, he forced a weak smile and nodded, playing along with their
charade.
“Yeah, sure,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. “Let’s play.”
As the boys set up the PlayStation, Mathias sat on the edge of the bed,
his mind racing. He felt so small, so powerless. Thomas had won, and
there was nothing he could do about it. The worst part was that no one
seemed to see it—no one seemed to realize how much Thomas was enjoying
his humiliation.
Mathias clenched his fists, his nails digging
into his palms again. He couldn’t keep living like this. Something had
to change. But for now, all he could do was sit there, pretending
everything was fine, while the weight of his shame pressed down on him
like a lead blanket.
The PlayStation controller felt heavy in
Mathias’s hands, but he forced himself to focus on the screen, trying
to ignore the lingering tension in the room. Thomas, Tahir, and Chris
were sitting around him, their laughter and chatter filling the air. To
anyone else, it might have looked like a normal gaming session among
friends. But for Mathias, it was torture.
Thomas was in his
element, his confidence radiating as he dominated the game. Every time
he scored a goal or pulled off a slick move, he’d glance at Mathias
with that smug grin of his, as if to say, See? I’m better than you at everything.
“Nice shot, Thomas!” Tahir exclaimed, leaning forward as Thomas’s character on the screen celebrated another goal.
“Thanks, man,” Thomas replied, his tone casual but dripping with
self-satisfaction. “It’s easy when you’re playing against amateurs.”
Mathias’s jaw tightened. He knew the jab was directed at him. He had
been struggling to keep up in the game, his mind too clouded with
humiliation and anger to focus properly. Every time he made a mistake,
Thomas was quick to point it out.
“Come on, Mathias, you’re supposed to defend,” Thomas said, his voice laced with mockery. “Or are you too busy thinking about your little peanut to concentrate?”
The boys burst into laughter, and Mathias felt his face flush. He
gripped the controller tighter, trying to ignore them, but the teasing
only escalated.
“Hey, Thomas,” Chris said, his tone teasing,
“do you think Mathias’s character in the game has a tiny little
football too? Like, maybe it’s proportional?”
Tahir snorted, barely containing his laughter. “Yeah, like a mini football for a mini player!”
Thomas grinned, clearly enjoying the direction the conversation was
taking. “Nah, I think even the game would give him a normal-sized ball.
They’d have to make it fair, right? Otherwise, it’d be too easy to beat
him.”
Mathias’s chest tightened, and he could feel the heat
rising in his face. He wanted to throw the controller down and walk
out, but he knew that would only make things worse. Thomas would just
see it as another victory, another way to prove how much more “mature”
he was.
“Guys, can we just play the game?” Mathias muttered, his voice low and strained.
“Aw, come on, Mathias,” Thomas said, his tone dripping with false sympathy. “We’re just having fun. Don’t be such a buzzkill.”
“Yeah, lighten up, man,” Tahir added, nudging Mathias with his elbow.
“It’s just a joke. We don’t care about your little… you know.”
Mathias’s stomach churned. He hated how they kept bringing it up, how
they acted like it was no big deal while simultaneously using it to
tear him down. He wanted to scream, to tell them to stop, but he knew
it would only make them laugh harder.
The game continued, and
Mathias’s frustration grew with every passing minute. He couldn’t
focus, couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched and judged. Every
move he made felt clumsy, and Thomas was quick to point out every
mistake.
“Wow, Mathias, that was pathetic,”
Thomas said after Mathias missed an easy shot. “You’re playing like a
little kid. Maybe you should stick to games for toddlers.”
The
boys laughed, and Mathias felt his anger boiling over. He slammed the
controller down on the floor and stood up, his hands trembling.
“I’m done,” he said, his voice shaking with barely contained rage. “I’m not playing this stupid game anymore.”
Thomas raised an eyebrow, his smirk never faltering. “What’s the matter, little bro? Can’t handle a little competition?”
“I’m not your little bro!” Mathias snapped, his voice rising. “I’m older than you, Thomas! Or have you forgotten that?”
Thomas leaned back, his expression one of mock surprise. “Oh, right,
you’re older. My bad. I keep forgetting because, you know, you act like
such a baby.”
Tahir and Chris burst into laughter again, and
Mathias felt like the walls were closing in on him. He wanted to lash
out, to punch Thomas right in his smug face, but he knew that would
only make things worse. Instead, he turned and stormed out of the room,
slamming the door behind him.
He didn’t stop until he reached
the bathroom, where he locked the door and leaned against the sink, his
chest heaving. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, his face red
with anger and humiliation. He hated how weak he felt, how powerless he
was to stop Thomas’s relentless teasing.
As he stood there,
trying to calm himself down, he heard footsteps outside the door. A
moment later, Thomas’s voice came through, loud and mocking.
“Hey, Mathias, you okay in there? You’re not crying again, are you?”
Mathias clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. “Go away, Thomas,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.
“Aw, come on, don’t be like that,” Thomas said, his tone dripping with
fake concern. “We’re just messing with you. It’s all in good fun.”
“It’s not fun for me!” Mathias shouted, his voice cracking. “Why can’t you just leave me alone?”
There was a pause, and for a moment, Mathias thought Thomas might
actually back off. But then he heard the door handle jiggle, and his
heart sank.
“Mathias, open the door,” Thomas said, his voice taking on a more serious tone. “We need to talk.”
“No!” Mathias snapped. “I don’t want to talk to you!”
“Come on, don’t be like that,” Thomas said, his voice softening slightly. “I just want to help you.”
Mathias hesitated, his anger warring with a small, desperate hope that
maybe Thomas was being sincere. Against his better judgment, he
unlocked the door and opened it a crack.
Thomas stood there,
his expression unreadable. For a moment, Mathias thought he saw a
flicker of genuine concern in his brother’s eyes. But then Thomas
pushed the door open and stepped inside, his smirk returning.
“See? That wasn’t so hard,” Thomas said, his tone light and teasing. “Now, let’s talk about your little… problem.”
Mathias’s stomach dropped. He should have known better than to trust Thomas. “Get out,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.
“Oh, come on, Mathias,” Thomas said, leaning against the sink. “You can’t keep hiding from this. It’s not healthy.”
“I’m not hiding!” Mathias snapped, his voice rising. “I just don’t want to talk about it with you!”
Thomas raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening. “Why not? I’m your brother. I’m just trying to help.”
“You’re not helping!” Mathias shouted, his frustration boiling over. “You’re just making it worse!”
Thomas shrugged, his expression one of mock innocence. “I don’t know
what you’re talking about. I’m just trying to be a good brother.”
Mathias felt like he was going to explode. He wanted to scream, to punch Thomas, to do something to
make him stop. But he knew it wouldn’t work. Thomas would just twist it
around, make it seem like Mathias was the one being unreasonable.
“Just leave me alone,” Mathias muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. “Please.”
Thomas studied him for a moment, his smirk fading slightly. Then he
shrugged and turned to leave. “Fine. But don’t say I didn’t try to
help.”
As Thomas walked out, Mathias slammed the door shut and
locked it again. He leaned against the sink, his chest heaving, and
stared at his reflection in the mirror. He felt so small, so powerless.
Thomas had won again, and there was nothing Mathias could do about it.
Mathias sat on the edge of the bathtub, his head in his hands, trying
to stifle the sobs that threatened to escape. The bathroom felt like
the only place he could hide, the only place where he could let his
guard down, even if just for a moment. But the peace didn’t last long.
A sharp knock on the door made him jump. “Mathias, unlock this door
right now,” his dad’s voice boomed from the other side. It wasn’t a
request—it was an order.
Mathias hesitated, his heart
pounding. He didn’t want to face his dad, not like this. But he knew
there was no point in resisting. With trembling hands, he reached over
and unlocked the door.
Dad pushed it open and stepped inside,
his expression a mix of frustration and concern. He crossed his arms
and looked down at Mathias, who was still sitting on the edge of the
bathtub, his face streaked with tears.
“Thomas told me you
were crying in here,” Dad said, his voice stern. “He said he tried to
talk to you, but you wouldn’t listen. So, what’s your problem this
time?”
Mathias swallowed hard, his throat tight. He couldn’t
bring himself to look his dad in the eye. “I… I don’t know,” he
mumbled, his voice barely audible.
“Mathias, I’m not asking
you to guess. I’m asking you to tell me what’s wrong,” Dad said, his
tone growing sharper. “Now, start speaking.”
Mathias felt the
tears welling up again, but he knew he couldn’t avoid the question.
“Dad… they were… they were laughing at me,” he said, his voice breaking.
“Laughing at you? About what?” Dad asked, his brow furrowing.
Mathias took a shaky breath, trying to steady himself. “Because… of how
I look… and… that I was losing the game…” he managed to say, his words
coming out in a rush.
Dad stared at him for a moment, his
expression unreadable. Then he let out a heavy sigh. “And that’s the
reason to cry?” he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. “Mathias, I
know Thomas. He’s just joking. He doesn’t mean any harm. You’re
overreacting, just like you’ve been doing since yesterday. You’re older
than he is—you should be showing him how to react in situations like
that, not crying like a little baby.”
Mathias felt his chest
tighten. He wanted to explain, to tell his dad how humiliating it had
been, how Thomas and his friends had mocked him relentlessly. But the
words wouldn’t come. All he could do was sit there, his shoulders
shaking as the tears streamed down his face.
“Stand up right now,” Dad said, his voice firm. “You’re not a child anymore, Mathias. It’s time to start acting like it.”
Mathias hesitated, but he knew better than to disobey. He slowly stood
up, his legs feeling like jelly beneath him. He kept his eyes down,
unable to meet his dad’s gaze.
“Look at me,” Dad said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Mathias forced himself to look up, his vision blurred by tears. Dad’s
expression was stern, but there was a hint of something
else—disappointment, maybe. It made Mathias feel even smaller.
“You’re sixteen years old,” Dad said, his voice calm but firm. “You’re
not a little kid anymore. You can’t keep running away every time things
get tough. Thomas is just teasing you—it’s what brothers do. But you’re
the older one. You need to set an example.”
Mathias nodded,
though he didn’t really agree. It wasn’t just teasing—it was
humiliation, plain and simple. But he knew there was no point in
arguing. Dad had already made up his mind.
“Now, go back out
there and show Thomas how a mature young man handles himself,” Dad
said, stepping aside to let Mathias pass. “And stop crying. It’s
embarrassing.”
Mathias wiped his face with his sleeve and
nodded again. He didn’t trust himself to speak. He walked out of the
bathroom, his head down, and made his way back to Thomas’s room. The
boys were still there, lounging on the floor and chatting like nothing
had happened.
Thomas looked up as Mathias walked in, his smirk
instantly returning. “Hey, little bro,” he said, his tone light but
mocking. “You okay?”
Mathias clenched his fists, trying to keep his emotions in check. “I’m fine,” he muttered, though the words felt hollow.
“Good,” Thomas said, his grin widening. “Because we were just about to start another game. You in?”
Mathias hesitated, but he knew he didn’t have a choice. If he said no,
Thomas would just tease him more, and Dad would probably get involved
again. So he nodded and sat down, picking up the controller.
As the game started, Mathias tried to focus, but his mind was
elsewhere. He could feel Thomas’s eyes on him, watching for any sign of
weakness. The boys’ laughter and chatter filled the room, but Mathias
felt completely alone.
Every time he made a mistake in the
game, Thomas was quick to point it out. “Wow, Mathias, you’re really
bad at this,” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Maybe you
should really stick to games for little kids.”
Tahir and Chris
laughed, and Mathias felt his face flush. He wanted to throw the
controller down and walk out, but he knew he couldn’t. Dad’s words
echoed in his mind: You’re not a child anymore. It’s time to start acting like it.
So
he kept playing, even as the teasing continued. He tried to ignore it,
to focus on the game, but it was impossible. Every joke, every jab, cut
deeper than the last.
By the time the game ended, Mathias felt
completely drained. He set the controller down and stood up, his legs
shaky beneath him. “I’m done,” he said, his voice barely above a
whisper.
Thomas looked up at him, his smirk never faltering. “Aw, come on, Mathias. Don’t be such a sore loser.”
Mathias didn’t respond. He just turned and walked out of the room, his
head down. He didn’t know how much more of this he could take.
Mathias sat on his bed, staring at the wall, trying to block out the
sounds of Thomas and his friends laughing in the living room. He had
stayed in his room ever since the PlayStation incident, refusing to
come out until Tahir and Chris had finally gone home. The humiliation
was still fresh, and he didn’t trust himself to face Thomas again
without losing his temper. But he couldn’t hide forever.
Later
that evening, the family decided to go out to a restaurant for dinner.
Mathias wasn’t thrilled about the idea—he wasn’t hungry, and the
thought of sitting across from Thomas, who would undoubtedly find some
way to embarrass him, made his stomach churn. But he didn’t have a
choice. Dad had made it clear that they were going as a family, and
Mathias wasn’t about to argue.
At the restaurant, the tension
was palpable. Mathias sat quietly, staring at the menu, while Thomas
chatted animatedly with their parents about school, football, and
everything else under the sun. Thomas was in his element, his
confidence radiating as he effortlessly charmed everyone around him.
Mathias, on the other hand, felt like an outsider in his own family.
When the waiter came to take their orders, Mathias’s anxiety spiked. He
scanned the menu, but nothing appealed to him. Every dish seemed to
have too many vegetables or ingredients he didn’t like. He felt like a
child, struggling to find something he could eat.
“Mathias, what are you having?” Mum asked, her tone tinged with impatience.
“I… I don’t know,” Mathias muttered, his face flushing. “I’m not really hungry.”
“You have to eat something,” Dad said, his voice firm. “Just pick something.”
Mathias hesitated, then pointed to the kids’ menu. “I’ll have the
chicken nuggets and fries,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Thomas snorted, barely containing his laughter. “Chicken nuggets? Really, Mathias? That’s what little kids eat.”
Mum shot Thomas a warning look, but she couldn’t hide the slight smile
tugging at her lips. “Thomas, be nice,” she said, though her tone
lacked any real reproach.
“I’m just saying,” Thomas said,
shrugging. “It’s funny that he’s ordering off the kids’ menu when he’s
supposed to be the older brother.”
Mathias felt his face burn
with shame. He wanted to argue, to defend himself, but he knew it would
only make things worse. Instead, he kept his head down, avoiding
everyone’s gaze.
When the food arrived, the contrast between
Mathias’s meal and Thomas’s couldn’t have been more stark. Thomas had
ordered a grown-up meal—grilled chicken with a side of roasted
vegetables and mashed potatoes. It looked sophisticated, mature, and
everything Mathias’s chicken nuggets and fries weren’t.
“Wow, Thomas, that looks delicious,” Mum said, her voice full of admiration. “You always make such good choices.”
“Thanks, Mum,” Thomas said, grinning. “I just figured I’d go for something healthy. You know, like a grown-up.”
Mathias stabbed a chicken nugget with his fork, his appetite completely
gone. He felt like a child, sitting there with his kid’s meal while
Thomas basked in their parents’ praise. It was yet another reminder of
how far behind he felt, how much Thomas had outgrown him.
As
the meal dragged on, Mathias couldn’t shake the feeling of being the
odd one out. Thomas was the golden child, the responsible, mature one,
while Mathias was the one who couldn’t even order a proper meal. The
humiliation was almost too much to bear.
When they finally
finished eating, Mathias excused himself to go to the bathroom. He
needed a moment alone, away from Thomas and his parents. But as he
stood at the urinal, he heard the door open behind him. He didn’t need
to turn around to know who it was.
“Hey, little bro,” Thomas said, his voice dripping with mockery. “Need some help?”
Mathias ignored him, trying to focus on the task at hand. But before he
could react, Thomas reached over and yanked his trousers and underwear
down to his shoes, exposing him completely.
“That’s the way little kids pee,” Thomas said, his tone light and teasing.
Mathias froze, his face burning with humiliation. He couldn’t pull his
pants back up because he was mid-stream, completely exposed and unable
to stop. Thomas, of course, took full advantage of the situation,
turning to the other boy who had just walked into the bathroom. The boy
looked to be around 13, and Thomas wasted no time in dragging him into
the humiliation.
“Hey, did you ever see such a small one?” Thomas asked, pointing at Mathias with a grin.
The boy’s eyes widened, and he burst out laughing. “Wow, that’s tiny!”
he said, his voice full of amusement. “Is that even real? It looks like
a baby’s!”
Mathias felt like the ground was crumbling beneath
him. He wanted to disappear, to vanish into thin air. But instead, he
stood there, completely exposed, as Thomas and the other boy laughed at
his expense.
“Come on, Mathias,” Thomas said, his grin widening. “Don’t be shy. Show him how little kids pee.”
The other boy leaned in, pretending to squint. “Wait, is he even
peeing? I can’t even see anything coming out! It’s so small, it’s like
a drip!”
Thomas laughed even harder, doubling over. “Yeah,
Mathias, are you sure you’re not just pretending? Maybe you need a step
stool to reach the urinal!”
The boy joined in, his laughter
echoing off the bathroom walls. “Does it even count as peeing if it’s
that small? Maybe he should just sit down like a toddler!”
Mathias’s hands trembled, his face burning with shame. He couldn’t
move, couldn’t speak. He just stood there, trapped in the moment, as
the two of them continued to mock him.
“Hey, maybe he needs a
sippy cup instead of a urinal!” Thomas added, his voice dripping with
sarcasm. “You know, for little kids who can’t aim!”
The other boy howled with laughter, clutching his stomach. “Yeah, or maybe a training potty! That’s more his size!”
Mathias felt tears welling up in his eyes, but he refused to let them
fall. He clenched his fists, his body trembling with a mix of anger and
humiliation. He wanted to scream, to lash out, but he was frozen in
place, unable to do anything but endure the torment.
Finally,
after what felt like an eternity, he finished. He quickly pulled his
pants back up, his hands shaking as he fumbled with the button. Without
a word, he turned and shoved Thomas with all his strength, his anger
boiling over.
Thomas wasn’t expecting it. He stumbled
backward, his arms flailing, and hit his head against the edge of the
urinal with a loud thud. He crumpled to the floor, clutching his head, a look of shock on his face.
Mathias didn’t wait to see if Thomas was okay. He stormed out of the
bathroom, his heart pounding, and made his way back to the table. He
sat down, his face still flushed, and stared at his plate, trying to
calm his racing thoughts.
A few minutes later, Thomas
returned, holding a napkin to his head. Blood was seeping through the
paper, and his face was pale. Mum and Dad immediately noticed and
gasped.
“Thomas! What happened?” Mum exclaimed, her voice full of concern.
Thomas glanced at Mathias, his expression a mix of anger and disbelief.
“Mathias pushed me,” he said, his voice trembling slightly. “I hit my
head on the urinal.”
Mum and Dad turned to Mathias, their
faces a mixture of shock and anger. “Mathias, is this true?” Dad
demanded, his voice sharp.
Mathias didn’t know what to say. He
wanted to explain, to tell them what Thomas had done, but the words
wouldn’t come. Instead, he just sat there, his head down, his chest
tight with a mix of guilt and frustration.
“Mathias, answer me!” Dad snapped, his tone leaving no room for argument.
“He… he was making fun of me,” Mathias finally muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Dad’s face turned red, his anger boiling over. “I talked with you about
that just today!” he shouted, his voice loud enough to draw the
attention of nearby diners. “I’m not having it again! You can’t just
prove that you’re more mature by beating your younger brother!”
Mathias felt his stomach drop. He couldn’t believe how Thomas was
getting away with everything. “Dad, but…” he started, trying to
explain, but Dad cut him off immediately.
“If I hear one more
word coming from you,” Dad said, his voice low and dangerous, “I’m
going to spank you right here in this restaurant in front of everyone.
No more words. We will talk at home.”
Mathias’s face burned
with humiliation. He wanted to scream, to tell them the truth, but he
knew it wouldn’t matter. Dad had already made up his mind. He sat
there, his head down, his hands clenched into fists under the table, as
the weight of the situation pressed down on him.
Dad paid for
the food, his movements sharp and angry, and the family left the
restaurant in silence. No one spoke as they walked to the car, the
tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Mathias slid into the
backseat, his body tense, while Thomas sat next to him, still holding
the napkin to his head. Mum and Dad got into the front, and the car
ride home was eerily quiet.
Mathias stared out the window, his
mind racing. He couldn’t believe how unfair this was. Thomas had
humiliated him, pushed him to his breaking point, and now he was the one in trouble. It felt like no matter what he did, Thomas always came out on top.
When they got home, Dad turned off the engine and sat there for a
moment, his hands gripping the steering wheel. The silence was
suffocating. Finally, he spoke, his voice cold and firm.
“Mathias, go to your room. We’ll talk about this later.”
Mathias didn’t argue. He got out of the car and went straight to his
room, slamming the door behind him. He sat on the edge of his bed, his
chest heaving, his mind a whirlwind of anger, frustration, and shame.
A few minutes later, he heard footsteps outside his door. He braced
himself, knowing what was coming. The door opened, and Dad stepped
inside, his expression stern.
“Mathias, stand up,” Dad said, his voice leaving no room for argument.
Mathias stood, his hands trembling at his sides. He didn’t know what to expect, but he knew it wasn’t going to be good.
“I’ve had enough of this behavior,” Dad said, his tone sharp. “You’re
sixteen years old, Mathias. You’re supposed to be setting an example
for your brother, not acting like a child. Pushing him, throwing
tantrums, crying over every little thing—it’s embarrassing.”
Mathias opened his mouth to protest, but Dad held up a hand, silencing him.
“I don’t want to hear it,” Dad said. “You’ve had plenty of chances to
act like a mature young man, and you’ve blown every single one of them.
So now, you’re going to be treated like the child you’re acting like.”
Mathias’s heart sank. He knew what was coming next.
“Bend over the bed,” Dad said, his voice firm.
“Dad, no…” Mathias started, but Dad cut him off.
“Now, Mathias. Or it’ll be worse.”
Mathias felt tears welling up in his eyes, but he didn’t argue. He
didn’t care about nudity anymore—he just wanted this to be over. He
took his pants and underwear completely off, leaving himself completely
exposed. He bent over the bed, his face burning with humiliation. He
heard the sound of Dad’s belt being unbuckled, and he clenched his
fists, bracing himself.
The first strike came down hard, the
sharp sting making Mathias gasp. He bit his lip, trying to hold back
the tears, but it was no use. The second strike landed, and then the
third, each one harder than the last. By the fourth strike, Mathias was
crying and screaming, his voice high-pitched and desperate, like a
little kid.
“Aww, is the big baby crying?” Thomas’s voice came
from the doorway, dripping with mockery. Mathias hadn’t even realized
his brother was there, watching the whole thing. “I thought you were
supposed to be the mature one, Mathias. Guess not!”
Dad didn’t
stop. A few more swats landed on Mathias’s already burning bottom, each
one accompanied by Thomas’s snide comments. “Look at him, Dad! He’s
doing the spanking dance!” Thomas laughed, pointing as Mathias
instinctively started jumping around, his hands clutching his reddened
bottom.
Mathias’s face burned with shame as he hopped from
foot to foot, trying to ease the sting. He hated that Thomas was seeing
this, hated that he was being reduced to a crying, jumping mess in
front of his younger brother.
By the time it was over, Mathias
stood there, his hands still on his bottom, tears streaming down his
face. Dad stood back, buckling his belt, his expression stern but calm.
“I hope this teaches you a lesson,” Dad said, his voice softer now.
“You’re not a child anymore, Mathias. It’s time to start acting like
it.”
“Now, go and stand in the corner until you calm down and
think about what you’ve done,” Dad continued, his tone leaving no room
for argument. “Hands over your head. Don’t you dare move.”
Mathias nodded, his throat too tight to speak. He shuffled to the
corner, his hands raised above his head, his body still trembling from
the spanking. He stood there, completely exposed, wearing nothing but
his t-shirt and socks. The humiliation was unbearable.
He
didn’t know how much time had passed—it felt like an eternity—but
eventually, he heard footsteps behind him. Dad’s voice broke the
silence. “Did you think about what you’ve done?”
Mathias nodded, his voice barely a whisper. “Yes…”
“Turn around and tell us,” Dad said.
Mathias froze. Us? He
turned slowly, his heart sinking as he saw Mum and Thomas standing
there with Dad. Thomas was grinning from ear to ear, clearly enjoying
the show. Mum looked concerned but didn’t say anything.
Mathias stood there, completely naked except for his t-shirt and socks,
his hands still raised above his head. He felt like a little kid being
scolded in front of the whole family, and the shame was overwhelming.
“Now, is there something you want to tell us?” Dad asked, his arms crossed.
Mathias swallowed hard, his voice trembling. “I’m… sorry…” he managed to say, his cheeks burning.
“For what?” Dad pressed, his tone firm.
“I’m sorry… I’ve been acting like a little kid,” Mathias said, the
tears starting to flow again. “And I’m sorry I hit my little brother…
It was wrong, and I won’t do it again.”
Thomas smirked, clearly enjoying every second of Mathias’s humiliation. “Yeah, you better not, little bro,” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Next time, maybe you’ll think twice before throwing a tantrum.”
Mum shot Thomas a warning look, but she didn’t say anything. Dad nodded, seemingly satisfied with Mathias’s apology.
“Right. Now, go straight to bed. Your day is over,” Dad said, his tone final.
Mathias didn’t argue. He shuffled to his bed, still naked, and lay
down, pulling the covers over himself. He didn’t even care about
putting clothes on. The day had been a disaster, and he just wanted it
to be over.
As he lay there, staring at the ceiling, he
couldn’t stop thinking about everything that had happened. Thomas had
completely taken over, even though he was younger. Mathias felt like he
was losing control of his own life, and he didn’t know how to fix it.
Mathias was just starting to drift off when he heard the door creak
open. He turned his head, his heart sinking as he saw Thomas standing
there, a smug grin on his face.
“Hey, little bro,” Thomas said, his voice low and teasing. “You forgot something.”
Mathias frowned, confused, until Thomas held up the pair of underwear
Mathias had been wearing earlier—the ones Thomas had claimed were too
small for him. Thomas tossed them onto the bed, his grin widening.
“You might want to put these on,” Thomas said, his tone dripping with
mockery. “Unless you want to sleep like a baby, all naked and helpless.”
Mathias felt his face burn, but he didn’t respond. He just lay there,
staring at the ceiling, as Thomas laughed and walked out of the room.
Thank you for joining Mathias on his hilariously humiliating journey!
