As Nick approached the Coquina Beach changing cabanas, he saw that Max and Jay were eagerly waiting for him. They both smiled and laughed from the moment that they saw him, clearly eager to collect on the debt that Nick had owed. Jay made an overexaggerated waving motion that looked as if he were flagging in an aircraft on a landing deck.
Nick took a deep breath. He knew that he was in for a rough day, at least the next hour or so of it. Putting on a brave face seemed like the best way to deal with the situation. Max and Jay would surely heap on the punishment even heavier if Nick were to protest or try to hold out on “payment.”
Both of the guys were wearing long swim trunks and sandals. They each had a t-shirt tucked inside of the waistband of their trunks that dangled phallically between their legs. Max also had a backpack slung over his shoulders, presumably containing whatever devices were needed to extract the payment of Nick’s debt.
“Beautiful day at the beach, isn’t it Nickles?” Jay chirped.
“Yeah, and who would have thought that it would be this busy during spring break? I guess you are going to get to make a great first impression on a lot of people today,” Max added.
Defiantly, Nick responded, “Yep, I see a lot of cute girls out there. I am sure that some of them will like what they see.”
Eager to kick things off, Jay unzipped Max’s backpack and rummaged through it. After a brief search, his eyes lit up. With a wide smile on his face, Jay extended his closed hand toward Nick.
Nick placed his hand underneath Jay’s and a shiny, bright yellow piece of cloth spilled onto his hand. Nick almost dropped it and he scurried to gather it up and quickly conceal it in the front pocket of his shorts.
“We picked that out just for you, my friend,” Jay remarked. He was clearly quite pleased with himself.
“Time to pay up, Nicky!” Max declared.
Nick slowly walked to the changing booths. He ducked down, just to make sure that nobody was inside before he attempted to open the door. After stepping inside, he hooked the flimsy, little latch on the door. As he turned his back away from the door, he removed his backpack and tossed it on the ledge at the back of the booth.
He, once again, took a deep breath. His mind contemplated why he had ever agreed to that stupid bet in the first place.
It was roughly a year prior when Nick had made the wager with Jay and Max. Nick was a lifelong Boston Celtics fan and they were facing the Golden State Warriors in the NBA finals. Jay and Max were the typical “bandwagon fans” and given the success of the Warriors in recent years, they were currently rooting for them.
After a bit of back and forth, the boys had agreed that the loser, or losers, of the bet would have to be paraded around the beach during spring break while wearing a Speedo. It seemed like a good bet for Nick to accept since he would essentially get twice the payment that they would.
Unfortunately for Nick, he would lose the bet. Since the finals concluded in June, the boys would have to wait until the following year to collect on the bet. Nick hoped that they would forget about it, but they clearly did not.
He reached into his pocket, pulled the Speedo out, and tossed it onto the shelf next to his backpack. He unzipped the backpack and felt like it was best to just “rip the Band-Aid off” in one go.
Nick slid off his sandals and removed his shirt. He tossed the shirt into the main pouch and placed both thumbs inside the waistband of his shorts. In one motion, he removed both his shorts and underwear. After “stepping out” of them, he tossed them into the main pouch as well.
Standing there “bare-ass naked” with his back to the door, Nick reached down and grabbed the bright yellow Speedo. As he held it up, he immediately noticed two things. Firstly, it seemed to be quite small in size. Secondly, there was the Speedo name both across the rear of the swimsuit and on the front hip. That seemed to be pretty standard from what he had seen, particularly the one on the front. What made it unusual was that the letters were all erratic and multi-colored.
Nick had to smile. The guys really did “get him” this time. It was obvious that the lettering was a “Pride” reference. Nick shook his head in disbelief as he did a “face-palm.”
Distracted by the logo, Nick went ahead and tried to put the swimsuit on. He nearly toppled over as he tried to pull it up. It was getting really snug and it was barely past his knees. He took the Speedo off and looked for the tag, only to find clearly printed that it was waist-size thirty.
Nick had played sports with the guys all of his life. Max was tall and fairly slender while being reasonably muscular and strong at the same time. Jay was fairly short and skinny, but he was lightning-fast. Nick, however, was more of the big, sturdy, powerhouse type. He would have ideally worn a size thirty-four if not a thirty-six.
They had well and truly set Nick up. He remembered back to when he protested having to purchase the Speedo that he would have to wear to pay off the bet. He should have realized that something was wrong when they were so eager to volunteer to buy it for him.
“You guys!” Nick shouted.
They approached the door “all smiles” as they clearly realized why they were being called over.
“This is a size thirty. I can’t fit into it!” Nick protested.
Max piped in first, “Sorry, dude. I just picked up what I would have ordered for myself, minus the rainbow logo of course.”
Jay was the next to contribute, “Not me. I would have got a twenty-eight. I like mine nice and tight so I can show off my big, thick slab of meat!”
“Can we do this another day? I need to get a swimsuit that fits.” Nick appealed.
“Sure, Nick. I don’t think that would be a problem. But we will have to bump up the payment from one hour to two,” Max countered.
Jay chimed in, “Yeah, that seems totally fair.”
“Never mind!” Nick fired back. “I will make this work.”
“They are supposed to fit tight. That’s how you will set a new world record in the one-hundred-meter freestyle!” Jay added.”Less resistance is a good thing.”
Nick grabbed ahold of the swimsuit and tried to pull and tug at it as hard as he could, hoping to stretch it out as much as possible.
He decided to give it a second try. It didn’t get really constricting until it got to his mid-thigh. Nick gave it one last hard pull and got it roughly into position. The fabric was very stretchy, so it seemed like he could make it work, but the elastic around the leg openings was extremely tight.
Nick worked his fingers inside of the leg openings and tried to stretch them out. As he did, he tried to work the swimsuit up and into place.
It was probably as good as it was going to get. There was a significant amount of exposed butt crack in the rear and Nick’s limp cock was pointed directly upward, looking like it was being strangled by the swimsuit. Deciding that things looked a bit too explicit in the front, Nick elected to tuck his cock as far down as he could. There was a small pocket of space down there since the leg openings fit so tightly.
He put his sandals back on, zipped up his backpack, and grabbed ahold of it. As he approached the door, he gave himself one last look-over. He definitely looked like ten pounds of shit stuffed into a five-pound sack.
Nick unlatched the door and stepped out. The boys were eagerly awaiting him. Max immediately let out a howl that drew the attention of everyone in the vicinity. Max and Jay continued to cackle and howl like a pack of hyenas for what felt like forever. It quickly became one of those contagious situations and even Nick couldn’t stop laughing. Max even fell down to his knees and Nick wondered if he was going to laugh so hard that he would piss himself.
The laughter finally ceased, although Max continued to chuckle and wipe his eyes. “You look great, man! Seriously,” Max exclaimed.
“We need a fashion show,” Jay added. “Come on, darling, give us a little spin,” he remarked as he made a twirling motion with his finger.
As Nick reluctantly spun around Max commented, “Yeah, that’s a lot of crack, man.”
“Hey, wait a minute…” Jay interjected. “Dude, where’s your cock?”
Max immediately responded, “Where’s your cock, dude?”
The two went back and forth for what felt like an eternity until Nick insisted that they get going. They dug through their backpacks and started to set up their relay system. Nick was instructed to wear his earbuds, while Max and Jay followed behind him giving him instructions via their phone. They set a timer to one hour, which was the length of Nick’s agreed-upon punishment. Just as Nick got ready to grab his backpack, Jay intervened.
“That looks like it’s heavy. I’ll carry that for you. Besides, I wouldn’t want to deprive the public of seeing you completely unobstructed.”
Nick handed his backpack over. “Fuck!” he thought to himself.
The guys walked him around for a while. They picked out individual targets for Nick to acknowledge as they passed. The response was pretty predictable. All of the attractive women either laughed at him or rolled their eyes. Most of the men scoffed at him. The only positive responses that Nick received were either from unattractive or much older women as well as gay men who were clearly given the green light by his swimsuit's “Pride” lettering.
