Jake was a nice guy. He really was. Not in that "nice guys finish last" kinda way. Not like a Reddit troll. Just an awkward, autistic 27-year-old who was still hopelessly virginal. Even after reaching out over text and asking a female friend if she'd mind helping him with his "problem" as politely as he could...she'd refused.
Ok, maybe he was a Nice Guy (β’). But he wasn't about to admit it.
Going to university as an older student was hard enough when it came to making friends. Luckily, Jake was devoted to his field of study, and he found a circle of students who were equally passionate about marine biology. And yet...
...and yet, he couldn't take his perverted eyes off all the cute younger girls in his classes. Especially cute brunettes. Especially especially petite girls, so small and lightweight he was sure he could effortlessly bounce them on his long, skinny cock. Did girls find dicks like his attractive? He had no idea. Porn didn't give him much of a clue about real-life sex. He knew it must be messy, weird, uncomfortable. Just like everything else about human social interaction.
But it'd be worth it. Right?
It was a cloudy afternoon in April when Jake rushed through the halls of the science building, desperately trying to get to class on time. His sneakers slipped on the polished concrete floor and before he knew it, he was crashing towards the ground. He braced for impact-
"OhmygodJake!!"
-and found his skinny frame caught in small but surprisingly strong arms. The two students fell to the floor together, but the impact was considerably dampened, and Jake barely caught his breath before he looked up to discover his mysterious rescuer.
"A-Allison?" he gasped, recognizing one of his classmates.
The tiny brunette tucked a lock of hair behind one ear, blushing at the unexpected contact between the two of them. "I saw you falling, and-"
"Oh shit," Jake moaned, pulling away from her to scramble to his feet. "I was already late for class-now I gotta go check for bruises-"
"Class?" The girl tipped her head as she joined him in standing, confused. "You dork, Professor Brown isn't in today. There's no lecture on the schedule. Are you saying you didn't even read the syllabus...? We've known this since the beginning of the semester."
"Come on," whined the lanky boy. "I can't believe I drove out here for nothing." Being a commuter sucked sometimes.
"I was just leaving," Allison continued, looking down at her feet. Jake wasn't sure why. There was nothing particularly interesting down there. "I had a tutoring appointment, but now I'm free the rest of the afternoon. Do you...do you wanna come over?"
"Over?" His voice betrayed confusion.
"To my dorm room, dumbass," she said, looking boldly into his eyes. He'd never noticed her intoxicatingly blue-green irises before. It just wasn't the type of thing that caught his attention. She was cute and all, but not one of the main objects of his fantasies. Maybe after today, though...
"Why?" It was a fair question.
She sighed. "You said you had to check for bruises... Wouldn't you rather come stretch out on my bed than strip down in a public bathroom?"
His breath seemed to stick in his throat and his tongue went dry. "What?"
Why couldn't he get out polysyllabic responses to this girl's incredibly brazen advances?? Well, brazen by his standards, considering he'd never been propositioned. No woman had ever shown interest in him, beyond a distant friendly affection. This was completely out of left field.
"Just, come on." With an irritated huff, she grabbed his hand, not roughly but not indecisively, either, and began pulling him down the hall to the back door of the building. "My dorm is just across the path. Couldn't be closer."
Jake let himself be dragged along in a daze. He still wasn't sure what was happening. He knew Allison had said something about...a bed? Surely she just wanted to sit and talk. Or something. Maybe put some bandages on him. Yeah, she must be worried that his fall had led to the creation of a nasty new scrape on his gangly knees. Or maybe she thought he'd hit his head and needed to lie down. He felt as if he might be concussed, after all. Why else would such strange things be happening to him?
Outside, Allison didn't seem at all embarrassed to be seen with her awkward classmate. She waved and shouted "Hi!" to a friend, another girl who winked knowingly. Jake couldn't fathom what that wink could mean. Luckily, his new companion picked up on his oblivious nature right away.
"I have something of a reputation in my dorm," she laughed. "In other dorms, too. Like that time everyone in the second floor east wing heard me yelling 'Fuck me, daddy' to a guy I'd only met that afternoon... Yeah, that was a wild night. His roommate walked in and everything. Although that's not gonna happen today-I have a single."
