Tiburtius and Crassus

The Emperors visit was barely two days away, and Crassus was checking all was ready and preparations going well. Tiburtius was trying various wigs on Octavian, who wasn't too keen but it was better than being raped by the Emperor or his guards or being thrown to the Lions in the arena.

They finally decided that using the lads fair hair and attaching the curly wig to a jewelled comb, which had belonged to Crassus s wife. the curls hung down like a waterfall.

Two earrings were clipped to his lobes and the overall effect was pleasing to Tiburtius, A mask worn over the eyes, would also look good. Next Tiburtius looked in the chest of the wifes clothes and a diaphanous one was chosen.

Octavian after a bit of a struggle, was assured it would look more feminine and add to the disguise, stepping back Tiburtius suddenly realised that something had to be done regarding the lads loincloth which being of a white cloth, didn't hide any of the lads ample manhood.

Tiburtius wondered how he could hide it and also guard against any unplanned excitement showing itself. He then remembered that hed once seen at the bottom of the chest, a leather female pouch. and despite strong protestations from the lad made him wear it, the naked lad stood there in just the pouch with the wig and earrings.

Put your dick upward he said to him so it keeps it tight and wont fall out. Octavian did as he was told and then Tiburtius helped him put on the diaphanous robe, the cut of which plunged and as the lad had a firm chest , gave a glimpse of his nipples through the material, looking to be a young girls breasts and with sandals on his feet and the gold girdle around his waist the deception looked complete.

Turn around said Tiburtius and the lad did as instructed, all looked great but the thong showing through showed the lads bum to be quite hairy, not feminine at all, we will have to shave your crack he said you dont get blonde women with hairy arses. Despite more opposition it was done and they took him to show Crassus. Crassus was delighted with the work and the mask looked superb leaving the lads young nose lips and chin exposed. Now lets hope the Gods are with us.

The day of the visit arrived and from early morning Octavian known as Drusilla, for the day, a distant niece of Crassus, who the servants knew of, but had never met, as she lived near Puteoli. A servant announced Tiberius s cortage was approaching and the dais was prepared with wine and food.

Crassus and Tiburtius greeted the Emperor and Tiburtius passed the Emperors robe to the servants and they all made for the Dais out of the sun. Tiburtius was conscious of the Emperors eyes on him and wished his robe, which fell mid thigh was a bit longer as he was sure when he sat his loincloth would be visible.

Crassus and the Emperor chatted over lunch while his eyes studied the lads thighs hoping for a glimpse up into his crotch. Crassus told Tiberius that his niece who was with them for a few days, and Tiburtius had prepared theatricals of a classical theme.

Tiburtius thought he looked bored at the thought, and would of preferred have his way with some of the slaves serving them. Tiburtius went to prepare and Octavian(Drusilla) was readily prepared, Tiburtius got into his costume which was shorter than what he was wearing before, this was a ruse of Crassus, knowing and hoping Tiberius s eyes would be on him, and not on Drusilla. The two entered and the masque based on Apollo and Tepsichore was greeted with applause from the gathered throng.

Tiburtius knelt down at Tepsichore feet, knowing in the bright sunlight, his cock and testicles must be visible through the thin silk. As hoped the Emperors eyes were fastened on the lads crotch, so he hardly looked at Drusilla! Just to remark to Crassus that she appeared to have small firm breasts. Crassus explained that her mother was only small breasted, it was a family thing. The masque was warmly received and after Tiburtius and Drusilla were presented.

Tiburtius bowed and Drusilla, playing her part to the best, did a deep curtsey, and prearranged as they walked away, Tiburtius felt Drusillas bum, to which the Emperor laughed loudly. The two lads hugged, when out of site as all seemed to be going well. Tiburtius got dressed into his slightly longer tunic and went to bid farewell to the Emperor.

The Emperor left and after the servants had retired and gone to their quarters, Octavian now back as himself , Tiburtius and Crassus celebrated with wine, their ruse had worked.

Crassus bid them both goodnight and while they were alone, Octavian spoke to Tiburtius, apologising for his frankness, but asked if they were lovers as well as adopted son.

Tiburtius affirmed they were, hoping he didnt shock the lad, who explained that he and his friend were very close, and had slept together and when they were separated and his friend put to death he had been devastated.

Tiburtius could not believe his ears at the boys confession and seeing that talking of his friends death, had brought tears to his eyes, put his arm around him. He went on to explain how his master Sebastian had suffered a similar fate. Now it was his turn to well up as he thought of what a good master and friend he was.

The two lads embraced and sobbed over their loss. Octavian could not thank the two of them for how they had saved him that day.
