The following story contains material of a sexually graphic nature, specifically between consenting adult males. If you find it offensive, or feel this type of material has no place on the web, what the hell are you doing here? This story is dedicated to C. GYM RAT by Russell S. Jay and Will had gone to school together for the last year and a half. Will had moved to the small rural district in the middle of his junior year. Jay had gone to school there all his life. They knew each other from classes together and extracirricular activities, but not well enough either one would consider the other a close friend. High school had come to an end for the boys in May and they graduated with the other 75 kids in their class. They went their separate ways with little or no concern for each other. Fate would soon step in and correct that. Jay knew from the age of 15 he liked boys. Girls were OK, but it wasn't the same. He joined the basketball and track teams in part so he could be in the locker room with all those other guys in various states of undress. He had perfected the art of looking a guy over without making it seem obvious. No one had ever challenged him about staring at somebody's package or butt. He made mental notes about all the guys on the teams; their hair color, their height, weight, and the size of their cocks and balls. At night when he would stroke himself and go over the images in his head, he sometimes would have to think twice to connect the right dick to the right face. It was a game he played almost every night, and sometimes in the morning before school, if he had time. He didn't always get it right, but he had fun trying and he knew he could look again at the next practice and sort them out. One of the guys he noted was Will. Will moved into town and started school in mid-year. That wasn't so unusual, but anybody moving into town instead of away was always cause for speculation. In Will's case, the speculation grew into wild rumors. He never tried to correct anyone's guess as to why he had come to school there, so any guess was as good as another. There was the one about him killing his parents and moving here to avoid arrest in another state. Or the one about getting his girlfriend pregnant and having to leave so her father wouldn't force him to marry her. Neither was true, but no explanation was offered of the real reason. He stayed pretty quiet and kept to himself most of the time. His grades were good and he played well in the sports programs. But his secret remained locked away. Jay's grades were good enough, and he tested high enough, to be excepted at the college of his choice. A small, private, liberal arts college about 200 miles from home. His parents had insisted that he go in order to get a better education than they had received. They didn't want him hanging around the dead-end town and accepting a less-than-fulfilling job just to scrape by. He hadn't decided what course of study to take, so all his first semester classes were freshman requirements. He moved into the dorm just before Labor Day weekend. Orientation was on Saturday, and classes would start on Tuesday. He didn't have a car; couldn't afford it. His parents had drove him up, unloaded his stuff, and left to get back home before it got dark. They were concerned for their son and hoped he could take care of himself. He told them everything would be fine. And so far, after half a day, it was. The room was set up as a double and he knew he would have a roommate. Jay didn't have any brothers or sisters, so the thought of actually living with someone else his own age was exciting to him. He didn't expect anything much to happen with anybody, he was too shy to initiate anything on his own. The only thing that crossed his mind was adding another dick to his mental collection. About three o'clock in the afternoon, he heard the knob turn on the door and turned to see a guy, apparently his roommate, standing at the door holding a large box full of clothes. Behind him stood a girl holding even more clothes. "Hi, I'm Brian. This is Tanya, my girlfriend. You must be my roommie." "I'm Jay," he answered. "Let me help you." Jay's first impression of Brian was not good. He was dressed in what Jay considered very sloppy clothes. The jeans looked three times too big, they dragged the ground, and the t-shirt he wore bore the logo of some band Jay had never heard of. He reeked of cigarette smoke and displayed a bad attempt at growing a goatee. The only thing Jay took any interest in was the earring. A single gold hoop set in the right ear. Jay didn't know any boys with earrings back home. Jay followed Brian and the girl up and down the stairs during three trips to empty the car. After it was unloaded, Jay returned upstairs to the room and surveyed the piles of stuff Brian had brought with him. CDs, tapes, stereo equipment, clothes, clothes, and more clothes. He already was wondering if he could tolerate Brian for a whole year. He watched out the window as Brian and the girl held each other, kissed, and talked, saying goodbye at least a dozen times. After at least thirty minutes the girl got in the car and drove away. Brian returned to the room. Jay was sitting on his bed when Brian returned. "Man, Jay, I didn't know I was bringing so much shit." Jay had wondered the same thing an hour earlier. "Which bed do you want?" asked Brian as he moved about the room digging through piles. Jay wondered if Brian was stupid, too. "I'll just keep the one I'm sitting on," he finally said. Brian looked up. "Oh, yeah, man. You already claimed that one." Brian continued his digging, not actually putting anything away, just re-sorting the piles. Little conversation passed between them. Maybe, thought Jay, I'll get used to it. Jay got up and left the room to use the toilet in the communal bathroom down the hall. When he returned, the blast of smoke when he opened the door almost knocked him down. "What are you doing in here?" Jay asked, annoyed, waving his hand in front of his face. Brian looked up, the cigarette stuck between his lips, ash falling to the carpet. "Do you mind, man? Like, I can go out in the hall or something," Brian replied, taking the offender from his mouth. "I don't like smoke, it bothers my head," explained Jay. He had always been sensitive to cigarettes, cigars, even burning leaves. "I'll try not to smoke when you're around, man," said Brian, "but, god, I'm addicted to 'em." Oh, great, thought Jay. Just what I want to come home to. "I'll let you work on putting away your stuff," Jay said, heading toward the door. "I'm going for a walk to look around a little." "Cool," was Brian's only word. Jay walked over the relatively small campus. He admired the old buildings and shaded sidewalks that made up the school grounds. He also wondered about Brian. His roommate was not what Jay had envisioned. Reality had kicked fantasy in the ass again. He didn't know if he could stay in there with a guy like that. They were complete opposites. Jay wasn't attracted to him even a little. He wasn't even cute, Jay thought to himself. After about an hour, Jay found himself in front of the student health facility. It offered gym equipment and a basketball court for the students to use on their free time. It also had an indoor pool. He didn't want to go back to the room yet, so he went inside to check out the facilities. He walked through the court area, which was empty, and then to the adjoining pool. It, too, was empty. The water seemed warm to his touch and he thought about going for his suit, but decided he didn't want to go all the way back to the dorm. Just then he heard a large clanging sound. He thought it sounded like a weight stack being dropped. He didn't know anyone else was in the building, but wanted to find out. Moving back across the court, he found the weight room entrance and opened the door. Across the room, laying on a bench on his back, was a guy working out. He was doing bench presses, and Jay could not see his face. From his initial look, though, Jay saw something he liked. The guy was pressing about 150 pounds, and had on tight shorts that showed a definite bulge. Jay stood at the door watching as the guy repeated the lift five or six times, straining on the last one. Setting the bar onto the support, the guy started to raise up. Jay began to back out of the door so he wouldn't get caught staring, when he thought he recognized a familiar face. Instead of leaving, Jay walked back in and let the door shut loud enough to get the guy's attention. He looked up in Jay's direction and paused a moment. "Will?" called Jay, "Is that you?" It was. "Jay, what are you doing here?" quizzed Will, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "I'm going to school here, that's what," Jay answered. "I didn't know anyone else from school was going to be coming here. I wish I had known." "I didn't know either," said Will. "Actually, I picked this school because I thought no one I knew would be going here," he added. "Why?" asked Jay, wondering if some of the old rumors were true. "Uh, no reason, I guess," returned Will, hesitating. "Can you spot me another set, Jay?" Will asked after a short silence. "I was going to ask if you needed any help. You shouldn't be doing this alone," said Jay. He was glad to help. At least there was one person from home he could see once in a while. And right now that person was looking pretty good. Jay moved over the end of the bench, just behind Will's head. Will took the bar and began his reps. His muscles strained against the material of his t-shirt and Jay could swear the bulge in Will's shorts grew bigger with each push. Jay tried to mentally sort his catalog of dicks, wanting to match one to Will, but couldn't remember exactly what it looked like. Finally, Will gave out and Jay helped lift the bar back into place. "Thanks, man," Will said. "Maybe next time we can work out together. It'll be just like high school." Jay thought that sounded like a good idea and said as much. Will continued the conversation. "What are you doing for supper?" "I hadn't give it much thought," Jay replied. "Why don't I clean up and we can go find a place to eat," suggested Will. "Great," agreed Jay, "I won't have to deal with my roommate until later." "What is that about?" inquired Will. "I'll tell you over supper," Jay said, smiling. Will led the way into the locker room. Jay looked around at the rows of metal boxes, tiled floor, and benches down the middle of each row. Will had disappeared around the corner back toward the showers. Jay walked toward the sound of the opening locker door. When Jay turned the corner, Will had already pulled his sweaty t-shirt over his head and was removing his shoes and socks. Jay stared at the boy as he removed his clothes, piling them on the bench in front of the locker. Will glanced at Jay as he took hold of the waist of his shorts, and began to pull them down his strong legs. "I can wait outside for you," Jay said quickly when he realized Will was looking back at him. "What for?" asked Will, "I'll be ready in about five minutes. You can wait right here." Jay thought to himself if Will doesn't care, I certainly don't. "OK," he answered, taking a seat on the bench. Jay, slightly embarrassed, but wanting to see Will naked, glanced away as Will pulled the shorts off and then removed his jockeys. Will seemed unconcerned standing buck naked with another guy only three feet away. But after all, it was a locker room. Will grabbed his towel and walked towards the shower. Jay followed him as he walked, watching the muscles in his butt shift and contract with each step. Jay felt his dick twitch just slightly. He was getting a little nervous. All the times he had looked at guys in high school, it had been just a sly peek, and nothing more. Now, he was practically staring a hole through Will, watching his every move. Will had not seemed to notice the attention. As Jay continued to watch, Will moved beneath the spray of a shower head, wetting his body from head to toe. Jay could not believe his luck. Will could have chosen any of the numerous nozzels lining the walls just above his head within the communal stall, but he had picked one right in the middle of the back wall, giving Jay a full view of the entire scene. Jay had to watch as Will began to lather his chest and legs. This was the best thing Jay had ever seen. A private party with a cute guy, naked and wet, not twenty feet from where he sat. Will continued his bathing ritual, still either unaware or unconcerned with Jay. Jay had now begun to take in the effect of Will's dick, in sharp contrast to the dark nest of curly hair bristled along both sides and around the base. A line of hair continued up to Will's belly button. Jay thought that was sexy as hell. Without fully realizing it, Jay was getting harder by the second. Only when he became really uncomfortable did he worry about Will seeing his erection when he returned to the locker. Jay forced himself to look down at the floor, hoping his dick would behave itself before Will came out to get dressed. Jay tried to think of anything that would take his mind off of Will's shower, finally going back to his roommate. His dick softened at the thoughts of the slob back in his room. When he thought it was safe, Jay took one last look towards the shower only to see Will leaning backwards into the spray, hips thrust forward and head thrown back, water cascading over his head and chest, running in streams off his cock and balls. "Oh, Jesus," Jay murmured to himself looking at the incredibly sexy sight before him. Will straightened up and shook his head from side to side, sending droplets of water in all directions, then turned off the water. Jay immediately returned his gaze back to the floor. He didn't want Will to see him with a hard-on. Jay heard Will's footsteps, his feet wetly slapping the floor with each step back to the locker. "Are you OK, Jay?" asked Will, pulling his clean clothes from the locker. "You look kind of funny." Jay was sitting slightly bent, hands on his knees, staring at the floor, and breathing rapidly. "No, I'm fine. I'm OK," Jay squeaked. "Let's go eat." Will dressed while Jay continued looking in every direction but his. Will looked at Jay a few times while he pulled on his clothes. Jay refused to look at Will until he heard the locker slam shut. What Jay had failed to see was Will grinning from ear to ear. Jay and Will found a pizza joint close by campus and ate their fill at the nightly buffet. They talked about high school, other guys on their teams, a little about girls, and about their upcoming college classes. They were both excited about getting started. Jay also relayed the story of his roommate and his impression of the young man. He also confided in Will his reservations about living with a guy like that. Will had not met his roommate yet. He had left the dorm for the weight room before anyone had showed up and had not yet returned. The two finished their supper, walked back to campus and stopped outside Jay's dorm. "Orientation is only like half a day tomorrow," said Will. "When we're done, why don't we meet up at the gym?" "That would be great," said Jay, "I'll see you there." Will turned and headed toward his own dorm. Jay slowly made his way into his building, his attention now focused on what to do about Brian. When Jay opened the door to his room and stepped inside, Brian was gone, but the signs of his presence were everywhere. The piles of clothing were exactly where they had been almost three hours ago. The whole room smelled like an ashtray. Jay was disgusted with how things were turning out. He had visions of how college life was supposed to be, and this scene was not one of them. To sit down, Jay threw the few items Brian had picked up and laid on the chair back onto the floor. He pulled off his shoes, placing them under his bed. He turned on the small TV he had brought with him and found a channel that had something he could watch until bedtime. He relaxed best he could, but the smell of smoke continually reminded him of Brian's nuisance. About two hours later, Jay decided to turn in. Brian was still nowhere to be found, but Jay didn't really care. In fact, he didn't care if Brian never came back. Undressed and in bed, Jay slowly fell asleep thinking alternately of Brian and Will. He liked Will. He hated Brian. Around midnight a commotion at the door woke Jay out of his light sleep. Keys jingling, cursing, and general noise told him Brian was trying to unlock the door. Just as Jay had decided to get up and open the door before Brian broke it, the door flew open, the knob denting the wall as the two surfaces collided. "Fucking keys," slurred Brian as he stumbled into the room, failing to shut the door after he had entered. Carefully negotiating the heaps of junk covering most of the floor, Brian made his way over to his bed, falling onto the mattress when he thought he was close enough. About half his body landed on the mattress, the other half missing entirely, pulling his dead weight onto the floor. "Fuck!" yelled Brian into the dark. Jay had watched the whole scene unfold. He could now add "drunk" to the list of lables he had for Brian. Jay threw back his covers, got out of bed, walked to the door and closed it. Brian was still on the floor next to his bed, struggling to stand up. Jay moved over to where Brian lay and reached down to help him up. After grabbing one arm, he reached around Brian's chest to pull him off the floor. About half way up, Brian slung his free arm into the dark, yelling at Jay, "Get off me you faggot! Stay the fuck away from me!" Jay was stunned. He immediately let go of his roommate allowing him to fall back to the floor. The first question in his mind was how did Brian know? Jay had never said anything to anybody, had never approached anyone, now his drunk roommate, who he had not exchanged a hundred words with, had him pegged as queer. Jay tensed at the thought of being found out. College hadn't even officially started and it was crashing down around him. He moved back to his own bed and climbed beneath the covers, afraid of the future. To hell with Brian, he thought. After a few minutes, Jay could hear Brian breathing low and regular, asleep on the floor. Jay himself didn't fall asleep for at least an hour. Morning came too soon. Jay had slept fitfully, tossing all night. Brian, it appeared, had never moved from his position halfway under his bed. Jay got up, performed his morning ritual of showering and getting dressed, and leaving Brian passed out in the room, left for breakfast at the cafeteria and the first of several orientation sessions. Jay spotted Will during the morning, but Will seemed engaged in conversation with a couple of other young men, and Jay didn't want to interrupt. He sat by himself listening as the orientation speakers droned on and on. By lunch time, Jay had had his fill of student leaders, faculty members, and administrators repeat virtually the same information over and over. Thank god this didn't go on all day, he thought to himself. When he had finished his lunch Jay was on his way out of the cafeteria when someone touched his shoulder from behind. Turning around, he saw it was Will, smiling. "You ready to hit the weights, gym rat?" Will teased. That was what the guys in high school used to refer to themselves as during workouts and practices. Jay smiled back, "Wouldn't miss it. Let me get my stuff and I'll meet you there." "Great," said Will. "Jay, I asked a couple of other guys to join us. Is that OK with you?" "Sure, no problem," Jay replied. Secretly, he had wanted to get Will by himself again, but he had no way of telling him that without raising questions. He would have to make due with the extra company. Fifteen minutes later, Jay had his shorts, t-shirt, shoes, and everything else he thought he might need bagged up and was walking towards the health facilities. He had found Brian in the dorm bathroom, barfing his guts up. You deserve it, thought Jay, offering no help this time. He entered the building and went straight to the locker room. Will and the two others were already there, just beginning to change. Will introduced the two boys as Tony and Paul. They were freshmen as well, both having gone to high school together and then becoming roommates at college. Jay sensed a closeness between Tony and Paul, but he couldn't quite decide what it was. As he and Will talked back and forth about the morning activities, Jay noticed several times one or the other of them looking at him and Will, then whispering something between them. They had helped each other with their clothes, Tony even tying Paul's shoelaces. When all four were dressed and ready, they moved into the weight room and started their sets. Jay and Will spotted for each other, while Tony and Paul did the same. Jay thought Paul and Tony spent an awful lot of time looking at each other in the mirrors that lined one wall of the weight room. He and Will made small talk, not paying too much attention to the other two boys. After about an hour, they were all playing out. Jay and Will had worked up a good sweat, while Tony and Paul were barely damp. Deciding they had all had enough, Will looked around the group and stated, "OK, boys, let's hit the showers." Paul looked at Tony and raised his eyebrows, causing Tony to giggle. Jay didn't know what that was about, but he was excited about the showers as well. The chance to see Will naked again, but this time, he would be naked as well. He would have to be extra careful in scoping out Will's butt and cock. And, god knows, he couldn't get hard this time. All four young men stripped quickly, grabbed their towels, and walked to the showers. Tony and Paul took their places in one corner of the tiled enclosure, while Will moved in the opposite direction. Jay selected a nozzle about three down from Will. He had watched Will's fantastic ass again as they walked to the showers and wanted to maintain a good vantage point from which to watch the activites of his friend. Jay forced himself to look away more often than the day before to ensure his dick would behave itself. Water splashed, shampoo was applied, soap was lathered up. Every so often Jay would sneak a peek at Will's butt or his dick, whichever was in view. Will seemed not to notice Jay at all, which disappointed Jay a little bit. He had made no attempt to look down to the corner at the other two. Just as Jay was about to take a good look at Will as he rinsed out his hair, he heard a strange noise coming from the corner. Turning his head, there stood Paul, arms raised facing the wall, with Tony behind him rubbing Paul's shoulders, back and butt, sliding up and down the soap-covered flesh. The noise had been Paul's moaning. Then Jay saw it. Tony's cock, full and hard, standing up from his groin. Jay just stood there unbelieving. The first hard cock he had ever seen besides his own. His own dick pulsed in response to the sight. Then he realized Paul was hard, too. "Shit!" thought Jay, "How far are these guys going to go right here in front of us?" His concentration broken by the sight before him, Jay had not realized Will was looking at him. Suddenly, he remembered Will standing not five feet away. He turned his head, catching Will's eyes staring right at him. He looked away momentarily, only to find Will still staring at him every time he looked back. By now Tony and Paul were carrying on quite actively. Tony's hands caressed Paul's back and butt, while Tony's cock rubbed seductively against his leg. Jay couldn't believe it. These two guys were actually making out right there in the shower. Will's voice broke the silence. "Do you like the show, Jay?" Will asked. "You knew this was going to happen?" Jay returned the question. "I asked Tony and Paul if they would mind helping us out," stated Will. "What do you mean?" asked Jay, bewildered at the whole turn of events. "Jay," began Will, "I saw you looking at me yesterday. In fact I've seen you check out every guy on the team back in high school. You didn't know that, did you?" Jay was without words. All this time he thought nobody knew the game he played. But somebody did, and he was being confronted. Jay looked back at the couple in the corner, water splashing their bodies as they writhed together against the wall. "I don't know...," Jay said quietly. "You don't have to say anything," Will stated, "Your dick is speaking loud and clear." Jay looked down at his swollen cock, wet, hard and throbbing. Then he felt Will's hand on his shoulder. A strong shudder went through his body and he thought for a second he would fall. But Will was right there, his arms around his shoulders now, hugging him gently. Jay turned his head and looked into Will's eyes, only inches from his own. His mouth opened, but no sound came out. This was happening so fast, he didn't have time to think about it. His dick was pounding. His heart was racing. "It's OK," Will assured him. "I want to be with you." Jay turned his head back to the other couple, now facing each other, mouths sealed together, hands roaming indescriminently, cocks pressed together between them. Will's hands were sliding over Jay's chest and stomach. Will moved in and kissed his neck. Impossibly, Jay felt himself grow even harder. "This can't be real," Jay said softly. "It's very real, Jay," whispered Will into Jay's ear, kissing and gently biting the lobe. "Let me show you what reality is." With all the sensations running over his body and through his head, Jay couldn't stand it anymore and reached for his cock. The hard, yet soft, organ felt comfortably familiar in his hand. "No, Jay," Will spoke, "let me do that." Will placed his hand over the top of Jay's, taking up the rhythm Jay had begun. Slowly, Will's hand took over and Jay let go. Jay's heart was pounding so hard he could hear it in his head. Will's hands on Jay's cock and chest, Will's chest against his back, their legs pressed together, and the heat from Will's hard cock between the cheeks of his ass pushed Jay over the edge in seconds. "OH, SHIT!" Jay said in a loud voice, barely able to stifle a scream. The well-known spasm of his orgasm registered in his brain, but this time felt ten times stronger than ever before. Teeth clenched, eyes closed tightly, feeling wave after wave wrack his body. Cum flew out into the middle of the shower, shot after shot. Will was whispering in his ear, saying his name over and over, "Jay. Jay. That's it, Jay, cum for me." Intense contractions through his legs, torso, and arms continued until the last drop of cum fell from the end of cock, running over Will's hand, to be swept into the drain by the running water. Jay felt exhausted. He wanted to slump to the floor of the shower, but Will held him up. "That was beautiful," Will said, finally releasing Jay's still-stiff dick. Jay couldn't respond. He was lost in the emotions erupting in his mind over what had just happened. Not ever dreaming of something like this happening to him, he now had to deal with it somewhat prematurely. It would take time to sort everything he was feeling into the right place. Will still held him in his arms, caressing his chest and stomach, teasing his nipples. Jay's cock was still hard, like he had never cum at all. Regaining his senses, Jay pulled away from Will. He was embarrassed about what had just happened. No one had ever seen him hard before, let alone seen him cum. Now Will, Tony, and Paul had seen everything. Or Jay thought they had. Actually, Tony and Paul had been busy themselves. Jay looked back into the opposite corner of the shower. He couldn't believe the continued action between the other two boys. Paul was on his back getting fucked by Tony. Neither one acknowledged Jay or Will. They were only seeing each other. Jay's head was on overload. He moved to the door of the shower and stepped out, Will close behind. Jay wrapped his towel around his waist as he walked to the lockers. He sat on the bench, going over the things in his head one more time. Will sat down beside him. Will finally spoke, "Jay, look, I'm sorry if I pushed you into anything you didn't want to do. The way you watched me yesterday and watching Tony and Paul, I thought that's what you wanted." Jay sat looking at the floor, hearing Will's words. He answered him in a low voice, "It is what I wanted, but I didn't know it was going to happen today. You just surprised me, that's all." "No more surprises, then," Will said. "From now on, I'll tell you what's going on." Will had placed his hand on Jay's and was now holding it against the bench. Jay liked the comforting feeling of Will's touch, and his dick stirred under the towel. Will saw the rising terrycloth and grinned at Jay. "I think you might have a surprise for me," Will suggested. Jay blushed brightly at the attention he was getting from Will again. Will slid a little closer to Jay on the bench. "Jay," he asked, "did you see what Tony and Paul were doing?" "Yes," Jay answered. "I don't want you to be surprised when I ask you this," Will continued. "I want us to do that. If you don't want to, it's OK." Jay tensed at the suggestion. He didn't want to get fucked, not now. Will seemed to sense his apprehension. "Not you, silly," Will smiled, "me. I want you to fuck me." Jay looked at Will. Jay wasn't sure, but his dick was. The towel was completely tented. "I've never done it," Jay confessed, looking away, embarrassed at his lack of experience. "That's OK," Will assured him. "I'll tell you what to do." Will opened his locker and took out a small bottle. He stepped back, straddling the bench, and handed the bottle to Jay. "Grease my hole," he told Jay matter-of-factly. Will bent over at the waist and grabbed the sides of the bench with both hands. Jay just stood there, holding the bottle, his hard cock pushing out the towel he still wore. "Um,..." Jay stammered, "I think you should do it." Will looked back and realized Jay was unsure how to proceed. "OK, I'll do it this time. Pay attention," Will instructed. He raised up and took the bottle from Jay. Flipping the cap open, Will squeezed some clear gel onto his fingers. He sat the bottle down, then reached around with both hands. With one hand he pulled his ass cheeks apart, with the other he began to apply the lube to his own hole. Smearing his crack, he began with one finger up his ass, stroking in and out. He soon added a second finger. "See, Jay?" Will asked the young pupil, who was staring intently at Will's asshole. "You just lube it up and stretch it open a little." Finally, a third finger was pushed inside and Will began to make some noise. Low grunts and moans, similar to what Jay had heard in the shower from Tony and Paul. "Squirt some of this on your cock," said Will, handing the bottle back to Jay. "And take off that towel. You need to be naked." Jay pulled the towel off and let it drop to the bench. Squeezing the bottle, he drizzled a line of lube over the head of his cock and down the shaft, feeling the coolness of the slick liquid on his hot flesh. "Ok, I'm ready," he informed his partner. Will returned to his bent position and turned his head back to look at Jay. "Now push your cock up my butt and fuck me." Jay, trembling, took his cock in his hand and moved into position behind Will. Taking a deep breath and trying to relax, he touched his cockhead to Will's pucker. The immediate feeling of heat sent a shock through Jay's body. He stood, ready to penetrate, but not moving. Will encouraged him in a low, soft voice, "Go on, do it. Fuck me." Jay let go of his inhibitions and pushed hard, sinking into Will's butter-soft chamber all the way to his balls. "Ahhh!" Will sounded, "Hold it there. Let me get used to it." Jay tried to stay still, but the feelings in his cock wouldn't allow it. He squirmed around, pushing, pulling, moving side to side. "It's OK now," Will said after about a minute. "Do it, Jay. Fuck my ass." Jay complied, beginning with short strokes in and out. Getting more into it, he started to lengthen his withdrawals and pushing back in faster. Without warning, his slippery cock was expelled by Will's contracting muscles. "Shit. I'm sorry," Jay apologized. "Just put it back in," Will said. "Don't pull out so far. Keep your strokes shorter, but go faster." Quickly, Jay re-inserted his cock and, following Will's advice, began to speed up. "That's it, Jay. Fuck me good. You're learning fast, just keep it up," panted Will, obviously enjoying the fuck. "Tell me when you think you're gonna cum." Jay was moving very fast now. He could feel the approach of his orgasm rising from deep within. "Wrap your arms around me," Will directed. "When I stand up, don't pull away. I want to feel your dick inside me when I cum." Jay bent over, resting his chest against the sweaty back of his buddy and wrapped both arms around Will tightly, continuing his quick, hard, thrusts. Jay made a slight whine, then practically yelling into Will's ear, announced his climax. "Now! Now, Will, now!" With that, Will stood up, and attacked his hard cock with both hands, stroking it forcefully. "Oh, yeah!" Will yelled, his voice echoing off every wall of the locker room. Ribbons of cum flew out from his cock, landing on the floor and bench in front of him. Jay held on tight, fucking his own load deep into Will. After a couple of minutes, Jay pulled out, his dick too sensitive to continue. Still holding Will around the chest, both boys sat back onto the bench, trying to catch their breath. Only then did they realize they had an audience. "You guys were fucking hot, man," said Tony, his arm around Paul, the two of them standing about twenty feet away at the entrance to the shower. Jay looked away, embarrassed. Will just smiled and said, "Thanks." Later, after cleaning up again, getting dressed and leaving Tony and Paul sitting together on a bench outside the library, Will and Jay walked together towards the dorms. Jay was very quiet. Will was also. He understood Jay needed time to adjust to this new part of his life. They ate supper together in the cafeteria, neither one saying much the whole time. On the way back to the dorms, they stopped outside Jay's building. "I've been thinking, Jay. There is a space available in my dorm you could probably move into and get away from Brian. One of the guys didn't get a roommate, for some reason. You ought to check with the housing office Tuesday." "I'll think about it," offered Jay. He was still feeling very confused and unsure of himself. He needed to be by himself to think for awhile, but at the same time, didn't want to be alone. Leaving Will, he walked into the building and climbed the two flights of stairs to his room. The rest of the time that weekend was hell. Brian constantly smoking, his mess getting bigger every day. He hadn't accused Jay of anything again, so Jay attributed the outburst from the first night to drunken abuse. But Jay knew he couldn't stay here. He saw Will on several occasions, but they had no repeat of anything they had done. Jay was still coming to terms with his feelings. On Tuesday morning, he made a beeline to the housing office to secure the room in Will's dorm. Luckily, it was still available, and that afternoon, with no explanation to his first roommate, Jay packed his stuff and left Brian to himself. Finding the paper with the new room number on it, Jay began the chore of carrying his stuff up the stairs to his new location. He found the room, opened the door with his key, and walked in. No one was there, but the room obviously had someone living in it. He sat the first box on the floor and went back down for the second. When he returned this time, the door was open. Jay was sure he had closed it. He walked in, and there on one bed sat Will, leaning against the wall. "Surprise," Will said, with a big smile. Jay couldn't help himself, and smiled at his new roommate. This was one surprise he could deal with. Jay sat at his desk trying to concentrate on the textbook in front of him, but wasn't having much luck, as usual. He had been having some trouble with his studies ever since moving in with Will two weeks ago. He had hoped he could have gotten used to the sexual tension generated between the two of them, but so far he hadn't come to terms with it. That first time with Will in the locker room before classes had begun invaded his thoughts around the clock it seemed. He couldn't eat, couldn't study, and certainly couldn't be around Will and not see in his mind the young man bent over the locker room bench while Jay fucked him. That had been Jay's first sex with anyone and it had left a great impression. Unfortunately, the impression had pushed everything else to the side and his schoolwork was suffering for it. Jay once more directed his eyes to the open book to start again with the same paragraph he must have read four times already. This time he managed to get to the bottom of the page before his mind wandered again to the encounter with his roommate, his dick swelling to fill the loose material of his shorts. Jay and Will had for the most part been great roommates. They kept the same hours, didn't leave a mess, and gave each other the space they needed to work. And when they weren't working, they were talking or joking around. Jay liked Will very much and the sentiment was returned by Will. They had become great friends in college, much more so than they ever were in high school. But Jay was having a hard time dealing with all his feelings toward Will after the sex. Jay knew he liked guys before it had happened, but he had not been mentally prepared to act on it. Will had brought him out and made him face his desires. Jay was convinced even further that he was gay. He just had to work on figuring out how that was going to effect the rest of his life. During the time they had lived together the two boys had not had sex again. Will could tell Jay was trying to reconcile his feelings against everything he had been taught to believe and what reality had thrown in his face. Will was not going to pull Jay into anything again. That decision would have to be mutual. That didn't stop Will from being suggestive, however. He wanted very much to get Jay in bed, but he was too concerned for the young man's feelings. Will would touch Jay on the hand or occasionally rub his shoulders. He loved to look deep into Jay's eyes as they talked about classes or their professors or their lives. He would undress in front of Jay, but never completely naked. No need to tease him that much. Will's desires caused him almost as much trouble as Jay's. He convinced himself that the decision to be together had to be Jay's. He wouldn't risk pushing him away. And the tension was driving him crazy. On several nights after Will was sure Jay was asleep he pushed down the covers and his boxers and stroked himself to orgasm, all the while staring at Jay's sleeping figure laid out across the twin bed five feet from his own. Watching his friend sleep while he jacked his full, hard cock, slicked with spit and precum, only made Will want him more. He wanted more than anything to lay next to the other boy and feel the heat of his flesh blend with Jay's, their sweat mingled together on their chests, their hands roaming to all parts of their bodies as they made love, slow and determined to please each other. He almost went to Jay one night and, in fact, had got out of bed and stood over the youth, clear drops of syrup dripping down the shaft of his cock, but changed his mind after watching his friend take slow breaths as he slept peacefully. Will just couldn't bring him self to wake Jay from such a beautiful and innocent moment. He vowed that night to wait until Jay was ready for him. He just hoped it would be soon. On Friday afternoon of the second week, Jay had finally been able to finish the assigned reading for one of his classes. He was ready to take some time off from all the schooling. The weekend had started, but he had no immediate plans. He would go to the weight room and work out at least once, he thought. He and Will would probably go somewhere for dinner Saturday night like they had on each of the last two Saturday nights and maybe see a movie on Sunday. Then back to the grind Sunday night before classes early Monday. What he really needed was a complete diversion from the regular routine. His thoughts eventually turned to Will as always and he went over in his head all the possibilities he could imagine. Going back to the locker room and the shower. Feeling Will's hard cock pressed against his ass cheeks under the warm spray. Letting Will penetrate him this time. Maybe tasting Will's cock, sucking him off. Suddenly, Jay snapped out of his daydream. Thoughts of his mother and father and the expectations of their only child replaced the image of Will, naked and hard. He couldn't do that to them. He had to be the good son. He had to get married and have a family so his parents could be proud grandparents. The conflict roared in his head so loud his thoughts were almost drowned out. He wanted Will, but he wanted his parents to be happy. Couldn't they be happy he had found Will to love? He sat in his chair, staring out the window, lost, trying to make sense of the incompatible directions his life was taking. In that instant he decided he had to talk with someone. The only one he could trust, he thought, was Will. About half an hour later Will returned to the room from his lab assignment. Jay immediately perked up as Will opened the door, entered, and smiled at him. "Hey, Jay," Will acknowledged his roommate, "you ready for the weekend?" "I've needed a break so bad from this week you wouldn't believe it," Jay answered. "Every class I have has a hundred pages to read and a paper to write. I'm so wound up I'm ready to explode." Will walked over to where Jay sat and stood behind him. He began to rub Jay's neck and shoulders. Jay couldn't help but soften at the feelings going through him. Just Will's touch set him off. His head fell forward as he relaxed his neck while Will continued the massage. Will loved to make Jay feel good. He wanted to make him feel wonderful again. He wanted to lean down and kiss Jay's neck and face. But he held back. Will stopped the massage after about three minutes, unable to stand the contact anymore. Jay straightened up in his chair and watched as Will moved towards the closet. "I've got to take a shower, man," Will said. "That lab was hot as hell. I'm surprised you couldn't smell me before I came in." Jay concentrated on his nose, testing the air for Will's scent. A very faint smell of sweat and deodorant was present. "No, you're not that bad," Jay told him. Will stood at the closet door and began to pull off his clothes. Jay tried not to stare, but he couldn't turn away for more than a few seconds at a time. He watched as Will pulled off his t-shirt, then his shoes and socks, and finally his jeans. He looked just as good as always, thought Jay. The strong sculpted chest and flat stomach, well muscled shoulders, arms, and legs. Will kept his boxers on and grabbed a towel. "I'll be done in a few minutes and we can grab some supper. OK?" Will asked. "I'll wait for you. But hurry up, I'm starving," Jay replied. Will couldn't resist a little tease and looking right at Jay he snapped the waistband of his shorts and said, "Yeah, I know what you're hungry for." As Will walked out of the room towards the communal bath down the hall Jay watched and wondered how much longer he could hold out. He had to talk to Will tonight before it went any farther. They had to work things out before he failed a class. The two friends entered the school cafeteria and after filling their trays moved to a table away from the few others also eating on campus that night. After a few minutes of eating and watching Will, Jay felt he was ready to talk. "Will," he began, "I need to talk about something." "What?" Will asked. "I want..." Jay stammered, suddenly losing his nerve. Will now sensed Jay's anxiousness. "What is it?" he wanted to know. "What's wrong?" Will was genuinely concerned. Jay was usually open with him. It was easy to see something was being held back. Jay sat there staring at his tray. "Let's finish up and go back to the room," said Will quietly, reaching over and taking Jay's hand. "We can talk about anything you want." Back at the dorm the two made their way directly upstairs to their room. Once inside, Will turned and locked the door. He didn't want anyone coming in while they talked. He knew this conversation was going to be serious. Pulling off his shoes, Jay sat down on his bed, his pillow stuffed behind his back against the wall. Will moved into a chair and pulled it up close to the bed facing Jay. "What is it, man, what's wrong?" Will repeated his question. After a couple of seconds Jay looked Will in the eyes. "I have to know where we are headed together," Jay began. "I have to know what is going to happen to us; what's going to happen to me. I have these thoughts of us together. Together all the time, living with each other." He paused, then added softly, "Loving each other." Will reached over and placed his hand on Jay's thigh, giving it a light squeeze. "I think about that, too," he said. Jay sat enjoying the contact of Will's hand and continuing to think of what he wanted to say. "I have other thoughts not so good," he started again. "What about my family? I don't have any brothers or sisters. What are my mom and dad going to do when they find out? What if they expect me to get married and have babies? They want so much for me and I'm letting them down." Jay's eyes were getting red and puffy; his tears just below the surface. Will left the chair and sat down next to Jay on the bed, putting his arm around the scared young man. "Jay," he said in a low voice close to the ear of his friend, "if your parents love you that much, they won't love you any less if you are happy this way. I know they couldn't love you so much and expect you to live a life being miserable." Jay leaned into Will's chest, laying his head against the warm material of the sweatshirt Will had on. The beating of Will's heart soothed Jay's nerves and he began to calm down. In a minute Jay looked up again at Will who had been caressing his hair and stroking his cheek. "Do your parents know?" Jay asked. Will barked a quick laugh, the kind meant for things that weren't really funny. "Oh, yeah," he said, "they learned the hard way." "Do you want to know why I moved to Carthage? I've never told anyone this before. Only the people involved know the truth about me and they won't ever tell anyone because they can't deal with it," said Will. Jay nodded and Will began his story. "Back in Jackson, where I lived before, I had just started my junior year in high school. I was almost eighteen already, since I had been held back in the second grade. I had lots of friends and everything was real good for me. I dated girls a little, but at the time didn't real get anything from it. I wasn't trying to have sex with them. It just didn't seem right to do that stuff. But I didn't think of doing anything with boys either. I'd notice them in the locker room, but everybody did that. I'd joke around at school, you know, the usual "fag" and "cocksucker" stuff. It didn't bother me. I wasn't doing anything so why should I care what they said? One day early in the year a friend of mine, Ronny, and I were at the batting cage practicing our swings. Ronny and I had been friends forever. I don't remember not ever knowing him. His dad was a high-dollar businessman who owned several pieces of property around town. He was on the city council and was real politically involved in things. Anyway, that day at the cages we were hitting balls when I noticed this guy had come in and sat down on a bench outside the cage we were in. He looked about 40 years old and kind of dirty. He just sat there and we kept noticing he was looking at us, almost staring. It was getting kind of creepy after a few minutes, but we didn't say anything and tried to ignore him. I noticed Ronny kept looking back at him once in a while. I finally asked him if he knew that guy. He said he didn't, but that he might have seen him at the mall before. We were just running out of quarters when the guy walked over to the side of the cage and started talking to Ronny. Ronny kept looking at me. I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying; they were talking really low. I saw Ronny shake his head a couple of times and heard him tell the guy "NO" in a loud voice. As I put my bat back in the rack and walked toward them the older guy looked at me and smiled. His teeth were stained from smoking and he hadn't shaved in about two days. The more I looked the less I liked him. He told me his name was Jess and he was just out looking around, seeing what was going on in town. After a few minutes of awkward conversation, Ronny told him we needed to go. Jess asked us if we might be coming back tomorrow, but Ronny told him no. I didn't say anything. We got in the car and went back to Ronny's house. I didn't say anything until we got inside and went to the family room to watch TV. Nobody else was home. I asked Ronny what that guy and he had been talking about. At first he tried to act like nothing had happened, but I kept asking. They had talked for more than ten minutes I told him. What had that guy said when you hollered "NO" at him. Ronny was looking really nervous now and biting his fingernails. I asked him if that guy was bothering him or wanted something from him. He was really fidgeting. I was getting some wild ideas about Ronny and this guy, wondering if he had hurt him some way. Finally, I asked him right to his face what that guy had done to him. When he blurted out his answer I first didn't believe him. "He sucked my dick at the mall." Ronny told me the guy had followed him into the restroom in Penneys and started talking to him as he tried to go at the urinal. Then he touched his shoulder. Ronny was so scared he didn't say no and the guy pushed him into a stall. Before he knew it, the guy was sucking him and rubbing his butt through his jeans. Ronny said he was scared, but after a couple of minutes it felt really good and he shot cum into the guy's mouth. Then he bolted. Ronny left the mall and went home trying to figure out what he had let happen." The story continued. "After a couple of days of thinking about it and deciding he wasn't really hurt, Ronny went back to the mall. Sure enough, there was the guy milling around the food court. Ronny caught his eye and made sure the guy saw him go into the restroom. About two minutes later, the guy comes in. Ronny was waiting for him and they went into a stall like before. But this time Ronny pushed his jeans down all the way. He said the feeling of the guy's hands on his skin and his mouth on his dick made him cum harder than ever. This time he didn't want to leave, but he didn't want the guy to think Ronny was going to blow him so he pulled up his pants and walked out leaving the guy jacking off in the stall. A week later he went back again, but the guy wasn't there. He went home and jacked off thinking about getting sucked again. After Ronny told me all this, I couldn't believe it. My friend was getting blowjobs from some total stranger at the mall. All kinds of thoughts were going through my mind and I realized I was hard. Guys messing around with other guys. Then Ronny said something even more bizarre, or so I thought then. The last time the guy had sucked him off, all Ronny could think about was doing it too. He wanted to suck a cock. He was staring right at my rod when he said it. It was like he had changed into somebody else. All he would talk about was wanting my cock in his mouth, wanting to feel me cum in his mouth. I was so hard in my jeans it hurt. Ronny and I had known each other for so long I trusted him with anything and now he was asking me, almost begging me, to let him suck my dick. So I did. We went into his bedroom and he almost tore my clothes off trying to get to me. He worked me over like I couldn't believe. His mouth was so warm and wet. And his tongue licking up and down my cock was the best thing I had ever felt. Up till then all I had ever done was jack off, but this was a lot better. After I came the first time, in about two minutes, Ronny just kept sucking. He went on and on like he couldn't stop. I came again about twenty minutes later and pushed him off. We didn't say too much to each other for a couple of days. By the weekend, though, we ended up in his bedroom again. He couldn't get enough and I was getting into it more and more." Will went on as Jay listened. "After a couple of weeks Ronny was really starting to scare me. All he wanted was to get laid and he wanted me to do it. Sex was taking over his life. I couldn't understand what was wrong with him. But stupid me, I followed my dick to his house almost everyday for a fuck or a blowjob, or both. I had sucked his dick, too. He fucked me a couple of times, but usually all he wanted was me to fuck him. I can see the day we finally crashed like it just happened. I had come to his house that afternoon. This was, like, two months after our first time. I went upstairs and he was there, naked, on the bed rubbing his dick. I got hard watching him. He sat up and asked me if I'd help him with something he wanted to try. He handed me a sack with some pieces of rope he had bought at the hardware store on his way home from school. The fucking receipt was still in the bag. He wanted me to tie him up to the bed frame and make him take my dick like I was raping him or something. It didn't sound right to me, but my dick was hard and he wanted it. So I tied him up. After getting it good and tight, like he wanted, I took off my clothes and sat over his legs as I rubbed his ass cheeks. That always got him even hotter. I took a bottle of baby oil we used for lube and greased him up, all the time he was moaning like some animal. The whole scene was getting way strange, but I pushed my way up his ass and started to fuck him. That really set him off. He was moaning even louder, staining at the ropes, trying to shove his ass back onto my cock every time I'd take a stroke. It kind of turned me on to see him tied up and liking it so much. I just started to cum, then it happened. His dad throws the door open, screaming, and practically tackles me across the bed. I didn't have any time to react. Ronny was yelling, I was shooting cum even as his dad was beating on me, and his dad was screaming at me to get off his boy. He thought I was actually raping his son. I tried to fight him off, but I couldn't. His dad was a lot bigger than me. I don't know what kept him from killing me. I got out of the house with about half my clothes, Ronny still tied down and begging his dad to stop hitting me. The next day the police came and took me to the station. I was beat up pretty bad, but they didn't care. I was the faggot rapist now. The only thing that saved me was Ronny. He told them everything, even about the guy at the mall. Since Ronny was old enough to consent, his dad couldn't press charges. The whole story was all over school. Everyone looked at me like I was guilty. My parents got calls from all over town to take their faggot son out of school before I did it to some other boy. I packed up my stuff and left one night just to get away. Everything was gone for me there. I ended up in Carthage living with my aunt. Even she gave me funny looks sometimes. That's why nobody ever saw my parents around. I'm lucky they even help me a little with college now." Jay sat stunned by what he heard. Moving up the bed and looking Will in the face, he tried to imagine the disgrace and shame Will had faced back home. He started to tear up again, but this time for Will. The boys held each other as Will told Jay everything was OK. They wouldn't end up pulled apart by their families. If Jay wanted to, they could stay together. They could do whatever they wanted. It was their life. Jay looked into Will's eyes again. He was frightened, but knew he wasn't alone. Very slowly Will lowered his mouth even with Jay's, closed his eyes, and waited to see if Jay would respond. It was now or never, he thought. Jay would stay or he would run as far as he could, probably back to his folks and a life he didn't want just to play the part of The Good Son. Jay moved, pulling away slightly, but moving back almost instantly. His heart was pounding and Will could feel the strong beating in his chest as Jay pressed against him. Almost like a feather being drawn across his lips, Will felt Jay's breath against his chin and upper lip. Then Jay's mouth, soft and moist, pressed to him like a lover. The kiss lingered, then broke, only to be reborn in the next one. And the next one. The two boys slept in Jay's bed that night, closely snuggled together on the small mattress. Jay wanted Will to stay close as he dealt with his feelings. Twice in the night, Jay awoke breathing hard and filled with a sense of panic, nightmares of his family's reaction to his sexuality and visions of Will being beaten by Jay's father. He tried to convince himself that would never happen. His father was a good man and loved Jay very much. Sleep slowly drew him back between Will's arms and a few more hours of peace. Saturday morning dawned with a bright sunlight filling the room. Jay looked at the clock and realized he had slept more than two hours longer than he usually did. Will was gone. Jay got out of bed and walked to the closet. Pulling off his boxers and putting on his bathrobe, he walked to the showers. Glancing around to see who was about, he removed the robe and hung it from one of the bright metal hooks fastened along one wall. Two other boys were in the bathroom standing at sinks opposite the shower entrance. Jay moved into the shower and turned on full blast the first nozzle he came to. The hot, pounding spray felt good and he stood under it for several minutes before washing his hair, then soaping up his body, rinsing everything, and toweling off. He put on his robe and walked back to the room. Upon entering he didn't notice anything, but then the smell of bacon and sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancakes filled his head. Spread out on the two desks was an array of breakfast food, Will standing at one end holding a plate and a fork. "May I interest you in some breakfast, young man?" Will asked politely. Jay grinned at him and Will laughed. "You are too much," said Jay as he bit into a sausage. After filling themselves on breakfast and cleaning up the remains, Will picked up his backpack and announced, "I have to go over to the library and meet some guys from my biology class. I promised we would start on a project today. You don't mind, do you?" Jay looked at him seriously. "Of course not. Go. Do your work. You just be back as soon as you can. I want to walk down to the park this afternoon and I want you to go with me." "It's a date," said Will. "I'll be back in about two hours." Will moved toward the door, then stopped and looked at Jay standing by the bed. Will took the three steps back that separated them and quickly kissed Jay on the mouth. "See you later," Will said, smiling. Jay blushed a bright red, which only made Will feel even better than he did already. About an hour later, a knock on the door startled Jay, who had been daydreaming about him and Will walking in the park, talking and laughing, stealing kisses when they thought no one was watching. "Come in," Jay hollered. A boy he recognized from down the hall stuck his head in the door. "There's a phone call for Will," the kid said. "She said it's his mother." Jay thought to himself, "Damn it, why did he miss it right now?" "OK," Jay said, "I'll get it. Will isn't here." Jay walked down the hall to the pay phone that was the only link for those residents without the money to pay for phones in their rooms. "Hello. This is Jay, Will's roommate. Yes. No, ma'am, Will is at the library. His birthday? Yes, I'll tell him to call you when he gets back. He should be here in about an hour. Yes, ma'am. Bye." So, Jay thought, Will's birthday is in three days. His mind immediately began to think of something Will would want for his birthday. Jay didn't have much money to spend, but he would find something for a gift. But he would keep it a surprise. He wouldn't tell him about knowing his birthday. He would wait and see if Will said anything to him later. Having already dressed, Jay walked down to the lobby to see if a newspaper had been left as was usual on the weekends. On the way back upstairs he ran into Tony and Paul. They were openly gay to the whole campus, making it widely known they lived as a couple in the dorm. It was Tony and Paul who Will had used to get Jay stimulated in the locker room before. All four were friends now, but did not see each other every day. "Tony, Paul," he asked, "I need your help. Don't say anything to Will, but I found out his birthday is on Tuesday. I need some help thinking of something to give him." They looked at each other and grinned widely. "I know what Will really wants," snickered Tony, patting Jay on the butt. "Oh, you guys," said Jay, acting slightly disgusted. "Don't you ever think of anything besides sex?" "No," answered Paul. They both laughed. "I'll think of something on my own then," Jay told them as he walked on to his room. Back in the room Jay thumbed through the paper, stopping to read the articles that caught his eye, Dear Abby, and the cartoons. He kept finding himself distracted by the idea of what to get Will as a birthday gift. Finished with the paper, he sat thinking to himself and staring out the window, absently watching the wind blow what few leaves remained on the trees. Will returned about thirty minutes later. Jay relayed the phone message, minus the birthday announcement, and Will went to return the call. Ten minutes later, both boys were headed to the park about a half-mile away. Being outside and enjoying the time off from studying and being with Will had Jay in a state of boyish giddiness. He laughed and cutup the whole time they strolled through the park. To anyone watching it was obvious they were close. To anyone with experience it was obvious they were falling in love. As they walked back towards campus Jay reached for Will's hand. Holding tightly and looking around to see who might catch them, Jay pulled Will toward him into a hug and a quick kiss. Will was surprised at Jay's open display of affection. Maybe Jay was beginning to come to terms with their love, he thought. Will knew he still had to wait for Jay to make all the next moves. They were closer than ever, but Jay had to be the one to go all the way this time. That night when bedtime came Will went to his own bed. He waited to see if Jay would say anything. Jay looked kind of concerned, but said nothing as he, too, got into his own bed. They remained apart all night. Sunday was almost a repeat of Saturday. Sleeping late, breakfast at a local restaurant this time, and then Will off to the library. Jay tried to read some, but the birthday question wouldn't go away. He had gone over the whole two previous days in his head again and again, sorting out his feelings. Later, standing at the window he saw Tony and Paul sitting on a bench outside the dorm. As he watched them holding hands and talking, people walked past them and Jay noticed no one paid them any attention. They were just another couple. They were accepted. That was it, Jay thought. That's what I'll give Will. Now he just had to work out the details. While Will remained at the library, Jay worked on an elaborate plan to surprise his roommate. He knew what he wanted to do and set out his plan on paper to make sure he didn't forget anything. About 15 minutes before Will was due back, Jay walked down the hall to Tony and Paul's room. Laughing and carrying on could be heard through the door. "Oh, Jesus," Jay thought to himself, "I hope they aren't fucking around." He hesitated, then knocked three times. "Who is it?" came a loud answer and a giggle. "It's Jay. I need to talk to you guys," he replied. "Well get your cute ass in here then," came the invitation to enter. Jay went in and quickly went over what he needed for Tony and Paul to do in preparation for the surprise. Both boys were more than willing to go along, laughing and teasing Jay the whole time. Jay left hoping he could count on those two to make good on their end of the plan. When Jay got back to his room, Will had already returned and was changing clothes. Jay looked at the smooth, strong chest of his friend again and said to himself, "Two days. Just wait two more days." Sunday night, Jay and Will slept separately again. Will decided Jay had just felt vulnerable that one night. Maybe he had been wrong about the whole thing. Jay might not open up after all. Will would continue to wait a little longer. Monday's routine of classes, lunch in the cafeteria, more classes, library, studying in their room, supper at the cafeteria, more studying, then bed, came and went without so much as a kiss between the boys. Will was beginning to wonder if Jay had changed his mind completely, but he wasn't going to confront him on it. Jay had had other thoughts consuming his time. Birthday plans were slowly coming together and he felt sure Will didn't know anything. Tuesday morning came and Will still had not said anything to Jay about the day. Jay was a little disappointed that Will had not told him about it, but thought maybe Will didn't see much in birthdays anymore. He was away from his family and as far as Will knew nobody on campus had a clue he turned 20 years old that day. The day progressed. Classes, eating, studying. That night was another of Will's lab assignments so he would be out late. Jay had plenty of time to get ready. Around 8:00, with half an hour before Will's lab let out, Jay, Tony and Paul met in Jay's room to finalize the preparations. Tony brought with him a small sack while Paul carried something wrapped in a towel. They also carried pieces of what had been a refrigerator box. Brightly painted like a gift-wrapped box, the three worked on putting the pieces together. When finished, Paul handed the towel and its contents to Jay. "Do you know what to do with this?" he asked Jay, smiling. Tony giggled. "I think so," Jay said with a smirk. "There's only one thing you can do with it. I just hope it works." Jay left the room while Tony emptied the contents of the sack onto Will's bed. About five minutes later Jay returned with a strange look on his face, one of slight discomfort. "Well?" asked Paul. Jay glanced at him. "It's fine. Let's finish up." "Now the fun part," giggled Tony as Jay began pulling off his clothes. When Will came into his room, at first he didn't know what he was looking at. His bed was completely covered by a large box set over the mattress. As he looked closer he realized it had been decorated to look like a giant gift box, with even a ribbon painted across the top. Taped to the center was a card. He pulled off the card and read the inscription. "To Will: Happy Birthday. It's all up to you, just be gentle. Jay." Will read the card twice trying to figure out what was going on. "And where is Jay anyway?" he thought to himself. He threw the card back on the giant box and walked out into the hall towards the bathroom. Seeing Tony and Paul standing at their door, Will hollered, "Have you guys seen Jay?" They looked at each other, barely able to contain themselves. "Yes, we've seen him. But not in the last ten minutes," said Tony. "Haven't you seen him?" "No," said Will. "And what is this thing on my bed?" Tony looked at Paul seriously now, then back to Will. "I think you better open that. It's from Jay." "Yes," Will said, "I read the card." He walked into the bathroom still wondering what all this was about. Tony and Paul decided not to say anything else just so as not to ruin the surprise. Will did his business and returned to the room. Closing the door, he walked to the box again and while looking it over for the second time, he heard a faint squeak of the bedsprings. Starting at one corner Will pulled at the box seam, tearing the tape that held the two parts together. As the end piece came loose Will was amazed to see a foot tied to the bed frame. Then the other foot at the other corner. He quickly tore away another piece along the length. Now he could see a hand tied to the headboard. A hand attached to an arm attached to Jay. "What are you doing in there?" Will asked half amused and half bewildered. Jay looked into the eyes of his roommate. "Happy Birthday," said Jay low and soft. "I hope you like it." Will quickly tore away the remaining pieces of the box. He looked in astonishment at Jay, naked and tied to the bed. Jay watched as Will looked him over then walked over and sat in a chair at the desk. Jay wondered what Will was thinking. Why didn't Will do anything? Will walked back over to the bed and sat down next to Jay's naked form. "What is this all about Jay?" he asked. Jay looked once more into the eyes of his roommate/friend/lover. "It's about us. It's about being a complete couple. It's about wanting you to stay with me and hold me and love me. And it's about me loving you. I want to love you, Will." Will placed his hand on Jay's chest feeling the rapid beat of the young man's heart. "Are you sure? Are you real sure?" Will asked. He had to be sure in his own mind of Jay's willingness. Jay closed his eyes and drew up all his courage. "Yes, I'm sure. I love you, Will." Will lowered his face toward the face of his young friend. "I love you, too," said Will, just before closing his mouth over Jay's. After breaking the long, wet kiss, Will stood again and walked to the door. Checking the lock, he moved to the closet and began to remove his clothes. He was out of Jay's line of vision, but the young man tied to the bed could hear the drop of a shoe, the snap of Will's jeans, and the zipper being pulled down. The general rustling of clothing being thrown into the basket they used as a hamper told Jay that Will was almost ready. Hearing the padding of bare feet approach, Jay raised his head to see the beautiful body of his lover standing at the side of the bed. Will's hard cock looked even bigger than Jay remembered, standing full and pulsing above a pair of tight, hairy balls. Jay couldn't take his eyes off of Will's package. He hadn't realized how much he wanted it until now, to feel the hard organ in his hand and in his mouth. Jay was now painfully erect as well. His more than ample cock laid across his stomach, already showing the first signs of leaking. As Jay flexed his groin, his dick would alternately raise and lower giving Will a feast for the eyes. Will reached out gently and with his index finger rubbed the growing drop of clear liquid over the surface of Jay's swollen flesh. The contact for Jay was electric. His cock surged upward emitting yet another thick droplet of precum. Will added that to the rest and moved his finger teasingly over the head of Jay's organ. The small amount of contact was almost more than Jay could stand. "Oh, that feels good!" he squealed. Will smiled. Leaning close to Jay's ear while continuing the motion he said, "You'll have to try and be quiet. These walls aren't exactly soundproof." Jay nodded and whimpered his "OK". Will let go of Jay's cock temporarily and moved into a kneeling position at the side of the bed. He leaned over and took Jay's cock back in his hand raising it up from Jay's stomach. He glanced at Jay's face then licked across the underside of the glistening meat. More precum erupted and Jay moaned low in his chest. As Will began a slow stroking motion of Jay's shaft, he took the head of the cock into his mouth, rolling his tongue around the ridge as he went, swiping the continuing flow of necter onto his taste buds. To Will the taste was like honey, sweet and thick. He milked Jay for one drop after another. Jay was going crazy trying to remain silent. Will began to feel his desire building as well. Opening his mouth wide and taking in all he could, Will began to suck in earnest. Jay was bucking up into the suction and straining at the ropes which held him down. It was too much for him. "OH FUCK!" came the call from Jay's lips. Will stopped sucking and pulled off. Sure someone must have heard Jay's cry, he waited a few seconds to see if anyone came to the door. Nothing. Will let Jay's dick fall back against his stomach with a wet slap and stood up. "We are going to have to find something to keep you quiet," he said. Looking around the room and seeing not too many items suitable for the job, Will got an idea. "Jay, we're going to try something else. Something new for you," he said to his captive partner. Will stepped up onto the bed and straddled Jay's chest, facing his cock. As Will squated down over Jay's body, Jay knew what would keep him quiet. A large, hard cock in his own mouth. Will moved back slightly to give Jay, who remained tied, the best position possible to suck the cock hanging over his head. As soon as Will was in the right place, Jay raised his head and licked the meaty flesh Will made available to him. It seemed to Will that Jay knew instinctively what to do. Using just his tongue and lips he sucked and licked voraciously at Will's cock. Will was in heaven as he bent down and eagerly returned to Jay's cock. Will moved up and down, sucking Jay like a man possessed while Jay did the same as best he could without the use of his hands on Will's cock. Holding his ass steady, Will let Jay move at his own pace, moving his mouth up and down by lowering and raising his head. Jay continued to moan, but it was low enough not to get any attention from one of their neighbors. Will began to sense the urgent movement in Jay's thrusts. He sucked harder and quickened the speed of his hand up and down the shaft. Using his other hand, Will rolled Jay's balls in their sack and pressed into the area underneath with his fingers. Jay stopped his sucking of Will's cock, but held it in his mouth as a long, deep groan began to build in his chest. Will knew this was Jay's time and sucked hard again as he felt the first of several shots of cum spray out the hole of Jay's cock straight into his throat. Jay convulsed under the fantastic orgasm rolling through his body. It had been several days since he had even jacked off and his load was massive. Will continued to swallow as each succesive shot seemed to fill his mouth to overflowing. The taste and smell of cum washed over his tongue and into his nose making Will want it even more. After a full minute, at least, Jay began to relax as he came down. Will's cock, hard and wet, lay across Jay's face, the balls against his forehead. Suddenly, Jay trembled with the after effects of the great orgasm he had just suffered through. Will took another lick over the head of Jay's still hard cock, wiping up the last drops of cum with his tongue. Pushing up onto his hands, Will looked back under his torso at his own dick still laying over Jay's face. Jay looked almost like he was asleep, his eyes closed beneath Will's meat. "Jay," Will whispered, rubbing his dick across Jay's mouth. "Jay. Wake up. Finish me off, babe." Jay stirred and nuzzled his nose further along Will's cock and then under his balls breathing deeply the heady aroma of Will's groin. Jay opened his mouth and took a swipe with his tongue at Will's bristly balls. "Save it," he said. "I want you to fuck me." Will moved from his position above Jay and laid down beside him. Will's hard cock rested against Jay's hip as the two discussed the situation. "Are you sure?" Will asked. "This is your first time isn't it?" Jay looked into Will's longing eyes. Will wanted inside Jay desperately, but he was willing to let Jay change his mind. Jay closed the small distance between them and kissed Will. "I want to feel you inside me. I want you to be a part of me just like I was a part of you in the locker room before. I need to do this. Please." "You know, Jay," Will pointed out, "I haven't done it since Ronny. I don't want to hurt you." Jay smiled. "I've taken a precaution just in case. Look at my ass." Will sat up and pulled Jay's legs up and apart as best he could with the ropes still holding Jay's feet to the bed frame. He immediately saw what Jay was talking about. The wide base of a butt plug was nestled firmly against Jay's hole. Will didn't understand why he hadn't noticed it before. Jay spoke again. "I borrowed it from Tony and Paul. I figured a little pre-game warm up was in order." Will moved off the bed and stood at the foot. "I'm going to have to untie your feet. We can't do anything with you laying like that." He began to undo the soft knots of rope necessary to free his mate's lower half. When he had the ropes loose, Will pulled Jay's knees up and again looked at the plug still in place between Jay's ass cheeks. "This may hurt," he said, taking the base of the device in his hand and beginning to pull. Jay squirmed a little, but made no noise. Without too much effort, Will pulled the plug out of Jay's now stretched opening, wet and slick from the lube off the plug. "You're wide open," stated Will watching as the pucker slowly closed up. "Tony and Paul said it would make things easier for me. I feel kind of empty now," said Jay feeling the sensation of nothingness after enduring the invading rubber toy for the last 45 minutes. "We'll see how long it takes to correct that problem," said Will, smiling. Opening a drawer at his desk, Will produced a bottle of lubricating gel and popped the cap. Drizzling a small amount over the end of three fingers, Will then moved back between Jay's legs. Taking his greased digits, Will pushed against Jay's asshole and slid in easily to the second knuckle. "You're ready already," laughed Will. "I guess the butt plug did its magic." Again feeling empty, Jay looked on as Will squeezed a line of lube along the length of his cock. "Do it, Will. God, I can't stand it. Fuck me." "Hold on, babe. I'm almost ready," answered Will. He wanted plenty of lube for Jay's first fuck. He wanted to be sure he didn't hurt his young lover. Will put down the bottle and moved in closer. Holding his stiff dick in position Will rubbed along Jay's furrow, gathering the errant drops of lube onto the flared head of his cock. Jay moved his legs up onto Will's shoulders. He was tensed, but wanted to be penetrated. "Please, Will," he asked again. This time Will obliged and pushed inward at the greasy hole. With only moderate pressure his cockhead and shaft began to disappear into the young man beneath him. "Oooohhh," Jay moaned loudly. Will stopped pushing and leaned down towards Jay's face. "Enjoy it, babe, but try to be quiet," he cautioned Jay. Will pushed again and another length of cock slide up Jay's ass adding to the sensation already washing over him. This time he only whimpered. One last push had Will embedded to his balls. Holding his place, Will whispered into Jay's ear, "How does it feel? Good? Great?" Jay tried to answer, but couldn't find the right words. "It's...it's...so good. Fuck me! Fuck me, Will! Fuck me!" And he did. Will began to stroke a steady rhythm into Jay. Will was almost out of control himself. He hadn't fucked anyone in over two years and the old feelings were making him wild with desire. He wanted to just let go and fuck Jay like a maniac, but at the same time he didn't want to do anything that might cause Jay to feel anything but pleasure. Jay solved the problem for him. "Harder, Will, I want to feel it harder," Jay exclaimed. Will went faster and pushed in with more effort. He watched Jay's face to see his reaction. Jay had closed his eyes and his mouth was hanging open. Pulling tight against the bindings still holding his arms, Jay's biceps, shoulders, and chest stood out in fine relief, the muscles of his young man's body being tight and firm. Will moved even faster now, pumping solidly into the warm flesh surrounding his cock. Will's breathing became short, quick breathes. He knew he was right on the brink. "Oh, Jay, I'm going to cum!" he almost shouted, catching himself at the last second. "Jack my dick, Will, I want to cum with you. Inside me, Will, cum inside me!" Jay begged. Will just managed to wrap his hand around Jay's precum-slick cock and start to stroke when his own orgasm exploded from his groin and moved out in all directions through his body. "Oh, god," Will panted, still stroking Jay in an unsteady rhythm. But the pressure on Jay's hard cock and the spasms of Will's dick up his ass was enough to trigger Jay's own blast. Arching his back and straining at the ropes, Jay spewed cum across his chest and stomach and down Will's pumping hand. As both climaxes waned, Will gave out and dropped down onto Jay's body, pushing the legs of the youth off his shoulders and down onto the bed. He laid there catching his breath, feeling the wetness of Jay's load trickle out from between them. After a few minutes, Will pulled his cock out of Jay, then reached up and pulled the knots loose from the headboard posts, freeing Jay from his confinement. Jay's arms immediately wrapped themselves around Will's neck and pulled him into a kiss. A long, wet, and lustful kiss. The kiss of lovers. Jay knew he had made the right decision to go forward. Will pressed him into another sloppy kiss, sucking at his mouth and lips. Rolling onto their sides, Will and Jay remained in bed, holding each other in the embrace of shared loved. They knew the demands of school would be right there waiting for them when they broke away from each other so they held on as long as they could. When morning came, the boys found themselves wrapped in each other's arms, still in bed, naked and excited. They quickly relapsed into a 69 and sucked each other to orgasm, relishing the taste of each other swirled over their tongues and through their teeth, only to be traded in a deep, wet kiss. After taking showers and getting dressed for class, they found they still had time for breakfast. Walking quickly to the cafeteria, Jay hoped Tony and Paul had followed through. As they entered the dining hall, Will was surprised to see a large banner hanging above the service line. As Will read the very public announcement, Jay again took him in a strong embrace and kissed him in full view of the other students. Cheers, whistles, and applause rose from the breakfast crowd. Will blushed, Jay smiled and waved, pointing to the banner. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL. WITH ALL MY LOVE, JAY. THE END Send comments, questions, or rude remarks to Russell S., russells@flash.net
