"Yeah, the place Anna's dad is renting us is in the Bay area, it's gonna be awesome. Way nicer than any shitty apartment around here, huh?" Tony's coworker bragged, leaning against the back counter.
"Uh-huh," Tony said. He was wiping down the soda machine for a third time, just trying to keep busy until 3 o'clock.
"We still good for tonight, bro? Like I said, my parents are gonna come get me tomorrow morning, but they're stuck back home all night tonight."
"Yeah, Jake. My roommates are cool with you staying over as long as you don't snore, the walls are thin as fucking paper in the new place."
Jake laughed. "That blows dude, I bet you wish you were moving out to Cali like me and my girl. But it's tough out there, it's not for just everybody, you know?"
"Right, right. Maybe someday," Tony tried to sound like he was just joking around, but Jake was fucking annoying... why did he agree to let him sleep over? Just then, the door to the shop dinged as someone walked in from off the street.
"Oh hey, how can I help you?" Jake said, walking over to the counter to help the customer. As he walked, his impossibly thick bubble butt jiggled around in his khakis. Right, Tony thought to himself, that's why. And his face wasn't bad either. Kind of a waste of all that on a straight guy.
Tony casually watched Jake pack up the customer's order and ring them up. By then, it was just about 3 o'clock. Tony walked to the back to clock out, then grabbed his backpack to leave out the main entrance.
"See ya tonight Jake, just text me if you can't find it," Tony called out as he walked out the door into the hot summer afternoon.
At home, Tony cast his backpack on the floor and laid back on the couch, pulling out his phone. At some point he dozed off, but he was soon awoken by the front door slamming.
"I'm home!" Maddie called, then appeared from around the corner. "Oh, it's just you, Tony?"
"Yeah," Tony said, yawning. "How was work?"
"Fine, fine. As usual, the most exciting thing was watching my coworkers argue about where to go for lunch." Maddie sighed. "I'm gonna go wind down, though, so buh-bye for now."
"See ya. Also, Jake from work is sleeping on our couch tonight."
"Right, right. As long as it's just tonight, I don't want another cishet roommate. Nathan bothers me enough already," Maddie stuck her tongue out at that, before turning down the hall.
Tony flicked some random movie on TV, determined to not fall asleep again. It wasn't long before he received a "Omw" text from Jake, who showed up shortly after.
"Not a bad walk," Jake grinned from the doorway, kicking off his shoes and piling up his bags next to the couch. Sitting next to Tony on the couch, their size difference was noticeable. Jake's long legs had to fold to fit between the couch and coffee table, and his head brushed the wall while Tony reclined comfortably in the same space. Jake always talked about playing basketball in high school, but Tony hadn't ever told Jake he had been on the girls' volleyball team.
The thin fabric of Jake's shorts rode up and strained against his wide thighs as he shifted to the edge of the couch and grabbed a drawstring bag.
"Hey, I've got my bong wrapped up in here, wanna smoke? My treat for you guys letting me stay."
Tony nodded, with no other plans for his night, and he and Jake burned through two deep bowls before the movie ended. A little while later, Maddie came out to pick up her Thai food delivery, but declined the hit Jake offered her and rushed back to her room. Their other roommate Nathan arrived home halfway in to the next movie and accepted Jake's offer to join in the festivities.
The guys stayed glued to the couch for the next few hours, giggling at stupid moments from whatever garbage Nathan had added on his Netflix watchlist. Jake had scooted closer to Tony to make room for Nathan, and in the low light Tony felt his cock twitch as he took in Jake's unshowered man scent warm and moving right next to him. As Nathan clicked from one episode to the next, Tony found himself glancing over Jake's body again and again.
Before long, Nathan stretched off the couch and headed to his room, and Jake started yawning. Tony wasn't tired yet, but he took pity on the guy. He'd planned anyway to stay up and grind some levels on the computer before going to bed in the AM hours...and maybe jack off for a bit, too. With that in mind, he passed Jake the remote, and went around the apartment turning off the last of the lights.
"I can grab some clean sheets for you, but you'll have to sleep on one of the throw pillows. Also, no one's figured out how to turn off the stove light, so you'll have to deal with that."
"I've dealt with worse," Jake said lazily, slurring his words as if he were already half asleep. He paused. "You think Maddie likes me?"
Tony couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You're kidding, right? She couldn't get away from you quick enough. It's like you repel women."
"Damn, I hope not. It's whatever, I don't go for girls with dyed hair anyway."
"I bet you just like girls who put out whenever you ask," Tony replied.
"Do you put out whenever a guy asks?" It was impossible to read Jake's expression in the flashing light of the TV, but that had to be just another joke. Right?
"I bet you'd like to know," Tony said, playing it cool even though his heart skipped a beat.
"I'd fuck you, if you were a girl." Jake said confidently.
