This story is about Chris and Justin, roommates and sophomores in college. Chris, only recently out to himself, began the new school year very eager for his first sexual experience. Justin, a dominant frat jock, was happy to provide that first experience, and quickly turned Chris into his live-in sub. Justin has a violent streak, however, which drove Chris briefly into the arms of a nicer guy in his late 20s, Mark, who took Chris' anal virginity, but broke off contact a week later. Chris returned to Justin, and they recommenced their exploration of D/s sex. The shadow of one more man hangs over them - Mason, a senior. He is their RA, and also in the same fraternity as Justin. He has discovered Chris' submissive desires, and has administered two very severe punishments to Chris' bare ass, with hand, strop, and most recently, a cane. This chapter contains some corporal punishment. All characters in this story are over 18.

The bar door banged shut. A tall man in his late 20s with short, dark hair and a neatly trimmed beard walked in, shaking the drops from his umbrella. A sudden March storm had caught him outside and on foot; rather than braving it for another six blocks to the subway, he had decided to take refuge in the nearest doorway. Which happened to be this dive bar - Ted's. He had moved to the big city after graduating from college five years ago, and had spent a lot of time exploring it, but he had never wandered in here before. It looked like you could pick up an STD from sitting on one of the stools. Oh well. At least the place was open and dry. And empty, too. No, not quite. There was one other guy at the bar, who honestly looked too young to be there. He was handsome, though - shaved head, the confident look of an athlete. College, most likely. He looked like he probably came from money. What was he doing in this shithole? Interesting.
Mark took off his raincoat and draped it over a barstool. He sat down next to it, and made eye contact with the bartender, who was about his own age, stocky, and bear-like, with a withdrawn look.
Probably on something, Mark thought.
Not confident in how a mixed drink might turn out here, he ordered a Laphroaig. Neat.
"Ten year?" asked Jayson.
"Ten is fine."
Mark glanced at the musclehead down the bar while he waited for his drink. The dude was playing with his phone. Too young for you, he thought. You already made that mistake once, a few months ago. Don't do it again.
He turned to his own phone, and idly opened his favorite hookup app. Who was nearby? He wasn't usually in this neighborhood at this time; there might be someone new and interesting.
Nope. No one hot close by. Who were you hoping to find, the stud over there? Mark chuckled to himself.
There was his scotch. He sipped, happy to be warming up out of the rain.
He swiped over to "messages" on the app. None of the guys he had recently chatted with currently piqued his interest either. Viewers. Cruises. Nothing worth his time. Settings. His thumb paused over "blocks". He put the phone down, and took another sip of his scotch. You know you're dying to see his pics again, he thought. But I have to unblock him to see them. So? You've been thinking of him since Valentine's day when he texted your cell. It's ok to look. Mark looked at his list of blocked profiles, then tapped on "newsub2012". Unblock. And there he was. His private pictures were still open. That fucking adorable face with the pretty eyes, topped by short, dark-blond hair; that hot round ass, pale and inviting; and what looked to be a recent pic of the nicely worked out, trim chest, all hairy again . . . Damn. He was indeed too young, but he was one hot sub.
And I took his cherry. Mark grinned, remembering. Should I text him? Why? Don't do it unless you really want to see him again. He took hefty swallow of the Laphroaig.
At the other end of the bar, Justin nursed his third Knob Creek. The ice cube was just a sliver now. He was looking at a text from Chris on his phone. He wasn't sure what to type. He scrolled back up the thread to reread it:
"Hey, Sir."
"Hey, fag."
"Where are you?"
"With my girlfriend, faggot."
"Are you at her place?"
"What do you want?"
"I need to talk to you."
"What's the problem? I'll be home later. You'll get what you need, don't worry. No action here tonight, you'll get all of it from these blue balls."
"What's her name?"
"What do you need, boy?"
"You've never told me her name."
"Tell me what you want or fuck off, faggot."
"I need to talk to you in person."
"Fine, I'll be home later."
"I need to talk to you now."
"WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM?"
"I got this invitation in the mail. It's to an event at your fraternity."
"What the fuck?"
"Yeah. So - we can talk about it when you get back."
"Who's it from?"
"Mason. We can talk about it later. So you didn't know about it?"
"No, I didn't fucking know about it. What event is it?"
"Some get-together on the 10th. It looks official."
Justin continued to stare at the screen. The 10th was a Meet and Greet at SAE for spring rush. What the fuck was that about? Why had Mason invited Chris? Was he asking Chris to rush? There was no way Chris would ever make it in. Mason must know that, he's a fucking officer. What's his deal? Why is he doing this?
"So should I go?" was Chris' last text.
"Don't answer yet."
Justin hammered back the last of his bourbon and considered. I can't figure this out. What was Mason thinking? Did he really want Chris to join? Why? So he can get his jollies paddling him? But he's already done that twice in his own dorm room.
But not recently. Justin's handsome jock face pulled into a smirk. Chrissy gets his spankings from me now. So Mason wants more of Chris' ass? Justin tried to picture his roommate as a brother.
Well . . . it might actually be hot. Don't write it off yet. Let's think about this some more.
"Hey, Jayson." The bartender sauntered over; Mark looked up at the other end of the bar. "One more, bro."
Jayson gave Justin a mildly reproving look, but dutifully went to pour another bourbon. Justin took a gulp, and rubbed his temples. This was all getting very complicated. He poked absently at his phone, thumbing over to his photo album.
A photo of Chris asleep in his bed was first. The boy didn't know Justin had snapped that pic just a few days ago. He's so cute when he's sleeping, Justin thought.
Then a pic of Chris with his mouth full of Justin's dick, always a winning shot . . . pics from his Christmas ski vacation . . . selfies with one of the brothers . . . Chris with a purple, striped ass - yeah, he remembered that day alright . . . more pics of Justin with his bros . . . Chris with cum all over his face. Justin smiled. That had been their first night together. He scrolled further back.
More pics of his freshman year friends, his pledge class, his parents as they dropped him off at college. Further back . . . he hadn't gone back this far in a long time. And he wouldn't be doing it now if he hadn't had too much to drink. Justin braced himself.
Next were some shots of his summer before college, spent in Europe with his dad. Nothing of graduation, he had been too distraught. Further back . . . spring of his senior year. And there . . . he . . . was. Smiling, so cute. But the eyes? Now Justin was sure he saw pain in those eyes, pain he had missed at the time.
"I miss him too, man." Justin looked up, startled. Jayson had walked back over with the drink, and had seen the picture on his phone.
"I know you do. I know you do, man." Justin took a swig of his Knob Creek. "He was a good bud."
"Yup." Jayson looked like he was going to say something else, but Justin pulled out his credit card.
"I ought to get back to the dorm, man. I should study." Fat chance, but it effectively cut off the conversation.
Jayson took his card and gave him the printout. Justin looked at the total, wrote the same number on the tip line, and added them up.
"Have a good night, bro." He offered his fist to Jayson, who grazed it, preoccupied. Justin left the bar.
Mark looked up and ordered another scotch. It was still raining. Should I text him? He started typing.
********************
Chris sat shirtless at his desk in room 119, turning the card over and over in his hands. The card that had surprised him so much, and which had evidently taken his roommate unawares, too. It was signed Mason Evans, and had arrived slipped under his door. Really, Chris thought for the hundredth time, this has to be a joke. It can't just be a mistake, my name is on it in his handwriting, and he signed it. But this is definitely some kind of cruel joke.
His phoned buzzed. Justin must have decided what to do.
The text wasn't from Justin, it was from his hookup app for kinky guys. Chris hadn't been on it in a while. It was probably some old guy who sent unsolicited messages, who wanted him to move to rural Alabama for 24/7 servitude (no fakes!), and who would get all huffy when Chris declined. He opened the message.
Chris' heart skipped a beat. Three beats. It was from Mark. Holy fuck. FINALLY. Chris had despaired of ever again hearing from the only man who whose dick had ever penetrated his anus. He had spent a lot of time pining over Mark, and even though his libidinous mind was once again focused on his jock stud of a roommate, he still felt a pang when looking at the picture of Mark's muscular, hairy chest. Man, he had been so incredibly perfect. I left that condo wanting to marry the guy, Chris remembered.
The message was mundane: "How's it going?"
Chris ran his hands through his hair. Why? Why was Mark resurfacing now, in this particular moment? He thought about waiting a day or two to reply (it would serve the bastard right), but his thumbs typed out, "I'm good" before his brain could stop them. Send.
