The Intern by Shannon Meredith

The Intern

Shawn was an Intern Engineer during the Summer before his Senior Year in College. He had been a star Football Player in High School that earned him a Scholarship in College. He was 6 Foot, 2 inches tall with a very muscular build. All of Shawn’s life he had enjoyed a very thick head of dark brown hair. Lately, though, he had started thinning on top. It wasn’t very noticeable to others, but he could tell. He started worrying about it and pondered what to do about it. He started taking Propecia and using Rogaine. After several months, only a small increase in volume was noticeable. He and his Engineering Partner Jayden, at the Summer Job, went to lunch together every day and became friends. Jayden was a Tall and Skinny Red-Head standing about 6 Foot tall also, but only weighing in at 155 pounds. He sported a trendy hairstyle, with lots of gel to make the longer top-part stay put with hair over his ears and on his collar. One day at lunch, Shawn told Jayden about his concern over his thinning hair. Jayden told him that his Ex-Boyfriend had a similar problem and had decided to get the sides and back of his hair buzzed short into a high Fade and only a couple inches long on top. The short sides drew attention away from how much was no longer there on top and made the top appear fully and thicker. Well, this surprised Shawn for 2 reasons. 1. Shawn didn’t know Jayden was Gay. 2. He had never considered getting his hair cut that short before. So, Shawn asked Jayden if he thought he should get his hair cut like this, like Jayden’s Ex-Boyfriend. Jayden said it would "definitely make him look Super-Hot". Again, a surprise to Shawn as he hadn’t ever identified as being Gay, being a star football player. But something stirred inside him thinking about Jayden thinking of him in that way. He asked where his Ex went to get his haircut, if the place was around the area. Jayden told him it was in the same town, but over on the rougher side of town. There was an old barbershop there that had been there since the 1970’s and the guy gave cheap, short haircuts. The cheap part was good for Jayden’s Ex because he didn’t have much money and needed to get his short Fade cut every 2 weeks to keep things looking sharp. Jayden offered to drive Shawn there after work, if he wanted to take the plunge and get his thick, brown, sides and back buzzed super short. Shawn agreed to let Jayden take him there. After work, they got in Jaydens red Honda civic and drove over to the other side of town. On the way Jayden asked Shawn if he had ever considered having his thick, dark brown beard shaved off. Shawn knew his beard was getting a little out of control as it was growing so low, it met his chest hair coming up from below. He asked Jayden what he thought he should do, and would it help with noticing the thinning hair less if he was clean shaven. Jayden said he didn’t know if that would help people notice his thinning hair less, or not, but it would certainly make him look even more HOT. Shawn turned dark red with that comment, blushing at the cute Red-Head talking about him in that manner. They arrived at the shop, a small old brick building with peeling paint and an old, faded sign that read "Vic’s Barbershop, Est. 1974". They went inside and Shawn told Jayden it looked like a Time-Capsule like someone had frozen everything inside since 1974. The waiting chairs were worn black vinyl. The black and white checkered tile floor. The chrome fixtures and very old Barber Chairs and worn wooden cabinets & counters behind them. The barber looked to be in his 70’s but seemed to be pretty spry for his age. The Barber recognized Jayden from having been in there with his Ex-Boyfriend many times to get him freshened up. Jayden, of course, didn’t get his hair cut there, he went to a Salon where the girls would care for his thick, Red Locks of Hair. He told Jayden he was sorry things didn’t work out between him and his Ex. He had heard all about it from the Ex because he still went there to get his haircut. He asked Jayden if He was finally going to let him take his Red Hair down into a nice Flattop, or maybe a crewcut or high and tight fade? Jayden laughed and said no, thank you, I am just bringing my friend in to get cleaned up. Since nobody was in the shop, he told Shawn to have a seat in the chair. He was promptly capped with a white pin-stiped cape, and a white paper was fastened around his neck tightly underneath. The Barber asked Shawn what he was thinking of doing today? Just as Shawn began to speak, Jayden interrupted and said "He is starting to thin on top a little bit and it is really bothering him. So, he wants to get a medium Bald Fade with lathered sides and back and leave about 2 inches on top. Also get rid of that Beard and make his face and neck baby smooth". Shawn was so surprised by Jayden asserting himself over Shawn like that, that he just nodded in agreement. He wondered why Jayden would do that as he was generally more passive, letting Shawn take the lead in conversations and such. He started wondering if this is how Jayden wanted him to look, maybe he was interested in them being more than friends. Shawn pondered this a bit but was quickly distracted from those thoughts by the sound of very large black cased clippers that sounded like a side of hedge-trimmers. The Barber began shearing his thick dark brown locks around his ears and up the back, very high to the crown. Shawn could see in the mirror that he wasn’t cutting to the skin, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Next, with the clippers still running the barber did something that puzzled Shawn. He removed the silver cutting blade and put another one on. He had never seen this before and wondered what the difference was. The barber then turned him away from the mirror and began to go over much of the area again with the different blade. He asked about what was happening and Jayden told him that the first cutting blade was a #2 and that he had changed to a #1. Shawn thought that wasn’t too bad as the #2 must mean 2 Inches and #1 was 1 inch….so not too short at all. The barber finished going over the sides and back again, but not as high up this time with the #1 blade. He then shut the clippers off. Whew, Shawn thought, this wasn’t going to end up being a scalping after all. But then the barber got another set of clippers out. This time they were a little smaller with a shiny chrome case and they had a little lever on the side of the cutting blades. They made a loud "Clack" when he turned them on. The Barber started once again cutting more towards the top of his ears and lower in back. They were quieter than the other clippers and more what Shawn was used to hearing when he got his hair cut at the salon when they would clean up around his hears and bottom of his neck, where his neck hair now had started growing down onto the top of his back and shoulders…which he hated. Next the barber pushed the little lever all the way forward and resumed his cutting. He went over and over the hair at the bottom of his nape, pushing really hard. He then un-fastened the cape and pulled his T-Shirt way down and started buzzing some of the fur off of Shawns shoulders and the top of his back. This REALLY Surprised Shawn, but he was happy it was being done for the first time ever. Little did he know that Jayden’s Ex used to have this same problem and had always gotten this done, So the Barber "assumed" Jayden would want Shawn cleaned up in a similar manner. (he didn’t know they were not "together") After this he shut off the shiny cased clippers and put them back on the shelf with the blue light over them. He grabbed a tiny set of gray cased clippers and went over his neck, shoulders and bottom few inches of his nape with these. They were super quiet and only made a buzzing sound when they came into contact with hair to be cut. Over and over again he went, presumably to get things really clean and tight. After this he got the shiny cased clippers out again and started working on the top. Clipper over comb, carefully cutting to a length of only 2 inches evenly over the entire top. After this he pulled Shawn’s T-Shirt down and out a bit and put a folded towel around the collar of his T-Shirt. Next, he heard a loud Humming sound and turned around to see a machine running producing mounds of lather. The barber used a brush to put it all around and above his ears and all over the back of his head, nape, shoulders and top of his back. Next, he got out a Straight Razor and began to start sliding it back and forth on a long piece of leather hanging off of the arm of the Barber Chair. The warm lather felt good and relaxing. The Barber scraped and scraped his way all around the back of Shawns head, nape, shoulders and top of his back. "Smooth as a baby’s bottom" Jayden shouted out! Shawn noticed that Jayden must have been liking what he was seeing as he could tell by the rising of his thin summer pants underneath his belt. Shawn thought "wow, he really likes me in a way more than friends". Next the barber wiped him up and dried him off. Shawn could now tell he had most all of his hair on the sides and back completely shaved off. He wondered if it would look good or bad, but judging from Jayden’s Pants, at least he Loved what he was seeing. The Barber then stuck a headrest in the back of the chair and laid Shawn back in a fully reclined position. The Barber said next, we will get this face and neck cleaned up. He got the large black cased clippers out again and put a blade on them. He began to shear Shawn’s Face and neck of the bulk of the hair. Next, he got the silver cased clippers out and pushed the lever forward and started buzzing off even more of the hair from his face and neck. He even pulled the loose collared T-Shirt out a bit and buzzed some of his Chest-Hair down a bit from the top so it would not stick out from underneath of his collar. Next, he moved the lever backwards a bit from being pushed all the way forward. He told Shawn to close his eyes and that he was going to trim his eyebrows down as they were super out of control. Shawn and Jayden both were surprised by how much hair came off of his eyebrows. The Barber said on guys whose hair is thinning, he liked to "stubble" the eyebrows, so they were not long enough to grow in any one particular direction. Just have some brown stubble there to be present but not long enough to stick out. Shawn didn’t even know what to think of this, but all he knew was that Jayden had flushed checks now and was Rock-Hard in his Chino Pants. Shawn’s brain was just on overload now. So many things to think about. Radical make-over being done to him at the recommendation of someone he thought was a friend, but who was obviously WAY MORE into him than he thought. Jayden had never slept or done anything with a guy before. He had several chicks, over the years, as a football player. But none that ever hung around more than a month or so as he didn’t want to sleep with them very often, if at all. He also would never use his tongue in pleasurable areas on any of the girls. He could not even stomach the thought of that. Next Shawn was brought out of his thought’s swirling with a HOT towel being placed all over his entire face, neck and forehead. The Barber left it there for 1 minute and removed it. He said it would soften the beard for a closer Shave. Next the Warm Lather was placed all over his face and neck. The straight razor made a loud Scaping sound as it shaved his thick dark brown beard off, leaving only smooth skin behind. Shawn tried to remember the last time he had been totally clean shaven and could not remember. Maybe a high school dance or something. Next the lather machine ran again, but for a small amount of time. The barber put this lather on his forehead and eyebrows. He took the straight razor and began scaping his front hairline back where it had started thinning. He took it back a short distance to where the hair was a bit thicker. He said that would help with the thinning appearance also. Next, he started using the Straight Razor on his eyebrows. He was not shaving them off, but rather separating them a bit more in the middle, above his nose, and also making them thinner. They were such wide, thick bushy eyebrows before and now were neatly manicured. Finally, his makeover was over. The Barber turned the chair around for Shawn to see and he could not believe his eyes. A New Man was looking back at him. A Much younger looking man. Shawn was only 23 but his slightly thinning hair made him look like he was in his late 30’s. Now he we a clean-cut young man again and you could barely notice any thinning at all with his now clean shaved faded sides and back, along with the razor shaved hairline in front. Jayden could not stand it anymore; he jumped out of his chair and approached the barber chair and ran his hand up the back of Shawn’s Head and all over his face and eyebrows. He said, "This is the perfect cut for you, you need to keep it all this way every 2 weeks". Shawn worried that it might be too much money to get to the Barbershop every 2 weeks being in college. He asked the Barber how much the charge was for all of this. The Barber said "$10 for the haircut, $5 for the Shave, $15 total". Shawn could not believe how cheap it was. He paid $40 dollars at the salon, and they just trimmed the hair on his head a bit, nothing else! Shawn paid the Barber and the two guys got back into Jayden’s old Honda Civic and just sat there for a minute. Shawn asked Jayden what he thought of the cut and everything? Jayden’s voice just quivered, and he replied that he thought Shawn was SO HOT. He had thought he was HOT before the Cut but now he was so attractive to him that he didn’t think he could drive the car back just thinking about pleasuring Shawn. Shawn asked him what he meant by that? "Pleasure me how"? He asked. Jayden said, "Do you trust me"? Shawn didn’t say a word, he just nodded. Jayden told him to lay the seat back and un-button his pants. He pleasured Shawn so well Shawn didn’t last long. He came quickly, but there was not a drop spilled. Jayden was so into consuming Shawn’s Man-Seed that he came in his pants without even being touched. Shawn re-buttoned his pants, raised the seatback to the normal position and they drove back to the office so Shawn could get his car and go to his own home.

(I am thinking of taking this story further with Jayden possibly getting his Red-Hair Cut, so Part 2 maybe in the future)?
