"Alright, burros, this year is going to be different. This year we're going all the way to the Championships! You know why?"
"Because we're the best!" roared Toro.
"We were the best last year and we came in second," sighed Gordito.
"We are the best and we will be the best, and everyone will know it. This year, we're following a ritual guaranteed to take us to the Championship. And you all gotta swear to do it, or it won't work."
"It's not sucking cocks, is it?" said Gordito nervously.
"Huh? No!" said the coach concerned that he was getting hard at the thought of it.
He continued, "No, it's your socks. From now on you will wear your team socks 24/7 until we get the Championship trophy."
"Mm? What about the smell? And athlete's foot?" Gordito asked.
"Well, you can spray your stinky socks with anti-fungal spray, and deodorant."
"We have to shower in them?"
"Of course."
"I hate wet socks."
"Well, you can dry your socks and feet in the sauna or with a blow dryer."
"Okay, I'm in."
Coach rolled his eyes. He wasn't sure about Gordito sometimes, but he was surprisingly fast for his girth, which made for a good goalie.
I was already on Toro's left foot when his coach made this announcement. How long was their fucking season? I was sure Maria would manage to get me off and changed back - maybe when he went to sleep.
Toro didn't question his coach. He put on his cleats, and ran out on the field. I couldn't see, but I could hear, smell and feel. Toro weighed a ton. It didn't help that he was a big man with relatively small feet. That just concentrated the weight on me. At last he left the field with his mates and headed to the showers. The water soaked and saturated me. I felt so bloated. Then he padded off, sloshing down the hallway to the sauna. How would sweating help? In 10 or 15 minutes, the soapy water dried out, and his feet started sweating again.
He padded back down the hallway, and used a blow dryer, after Gordito. And then he got dressed. He really didn't take me off, and wasn't planning to do so until the end of his season.
